Sense 1: "assets available for use in the production of further assets"
Sense 2: "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value"
Let's consider WordNet senses for "capital".
WordNet noun:
1. capital, capital letter, upper-case letter, uppercase, uppercase letter, majuscule (one of the large alphabetic characters used as the first letter in writing or printing proper names and sometimes for emphasis)
2. capital (a seat of government)
3. capital (wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value)
4. capital (assets available for use in the production of further assets)
Wait, let's check WordNet exactly.
WordNet 3.1:
capital (n)
1. capital, capital letter, upper-case letter, uppercase, uppercase letter, majuscule
2. capital (a seat of government)
3. capital (wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value)
4. capital (assets available for use in the production of further assets)
5. capital (a center that is associated more than any other with some activity or product)
6. capital (the federal government of the United States)
7. Capital (a book written by Karl Marx (1867) describing his economic theories)
8. capital, chapiter (the upper part of a column that supports the entablature)

In the sentence: "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion"
Is it sense 3 or sense 4?
"capital increase" usually refers to increasing the capital stock or equity, which is "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value" (Sense 3 in WordNet, but here it's Sense 2 in the prompt? Wait, let's check the prompt's numbering).
Prompt senses:
1. definition=assets available for use in the production of further assets
2. definition=wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
3. definition=a seat of government
4. definition=one of the large alphabetic characters...
5. definition=a center that is associated more than any other with some activity or product
6. definition=the federal government of the United States
7. definition=a book written by Karl Marx...
8. definition=the upper part of a column...

Wait, WordNet order:
1. capital letter
2. seat of government
3. wealth in the form of money...
4. assets available for use in the production of further assets
5. center associated with activity
6. federal government
7. book by Marx
8. upper part of a column

But the prompt has:
1. assets available for use in the production of further assets
2. wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
3. a seat of government
4. one of the large alphabetic characters...
5. a center that is associated more than any other with some activity or product
6. the federal government of the United States
7. a book written by Karl Marx...
8. the upper part of a column...

Let's read the sentence again: "the US bank was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion"
A "capital increase" (Kapitalerhöhung in German, perhaps, given "reported CNBC with reference to circles" which sounds like a translation from German "wie aus Kreisen verlautete").
In finance, "capital" in "capital increase" refers to the equity or financial assets of the company.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value" -> this is the general definition of capital as wealth.
"assets available for use in the production of further assets" -> this is capital as a factor of production.
A bank announcing a capital increase is increasing its financial wealth/equity.
Let's search for "capital increase" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Actually, the definition "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value" matches "capital" as in financial capital.
Let's consider "assets available for use in the production of further assets". This is more about physical capital or capital goods.
Wait, let's look at the exact WordNet definitions:
Sense 1: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
Sense 2: assets available for use in the production of further assets
Wait, the prompt has:
1. definition=assets available for use in the production of further assets
2. definition=wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value

Let's check the order in WordNet 3.0:
capital (n)
1. capital, capital letter, upper-case letter, uppercase, uppercase letter, majuscule
2. capital (a seat of government)
3. capital (wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value)
4. capital (assets available for use in the production of further assets)
5. capital (a center that is associated more than any other with some activity or product)
6. capital (the federal government of the United States)
7. Capital (a book written by Karl Marx (1867) describing his economic theories)
8. capital, chapiter (the upper part of a column that supports the entablature)

If the prompt reordered them, or if it's from a specific dataset (like SemEval or WSD dataset).
In the sentence, "capital increase" means an increase in the financial capital (money) of the bank.
"wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value" fits "capital increase" of USD 20 billion perfectly, as it's money owned by the business.
Let's consider "assets available for use in the production of further assets". A bank's capital is used to produce further assets (loans), but "wealth in the form of money" is more direct for "USD 20 billion".
Actually, in many WSD datasets, "capital" meaning financial wealth is mapped to "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value".
Let's check the examples for "wealth in the form of money...": "the company's capital was tied up in real estate".
For "assets available for use...": "the capital of the country is its natural resources" or something.
Wait, "capital increase" is a financial term. "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business" is exactly what a bank's capital is.
Let's choose 2.

Let me double check the definition of "capital" in WordNet.
Synset: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
Hypernym: wealth
Hyponym: venture capital, working capital, etc.

Synset: assets available for use in the production of further assets
Hypernym: asset, plus
Hyponym: fixed capital, circulating capital, etc.

A "capital increase" of USD 20 billion is an increase in the financial wealth/equity of the bank. So it's sense 2.
Let's review the prompt's numbering:
1. assets available for use in the production of further assets
2. wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
3. a seat of government
4. one of the large alphabetic characters...
5. a center that is associated more than any other with some activity or product
6. the federal government of the United States
7. a book written by Karl Marx...
8. the upper part of a column...

I will go with 2.
"wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value"
Yes, "capital increase of some USD 20 billion" refers to money owned by the business.
Therefore, 2 is the correct sense.
I will return 2.

In the sentence, "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion", "increase" refers to the amount by which the capital increases (USD 20 billion).
Let's check the senses:
Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" -> "an increase of 15 percent in the fare" or "an increase of some USD 20 billion". This matches perfectly.

Sense 3: "a process of becoming larger..." -> "the increase in unemployment".
Sense 5: "the act of increasing something" -> "he gave me an increase in salary".

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "circle" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to <t>circles</t>."
The word "circles" here refers to groups of people, specifically "circles" as in "informed circles" or "certain circles".
Let's look at the senses:

4. movement once around a course
5. a road junction...

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their <t>support</t> in June."
The context is about financial institutions repaying something. "repaid their support" implies financial resources or money provided to them (likely during a bailout or similar financial assistance).
Let's look at the senses:
1. the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of
3. something providing immaterial assistance
4. a military operation
5. documentary validation
6. the financial means whereby one lives

Wait, "repaid their support" - could it be 11? "financial resources provided to make some project possible" or 1? "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities".
Let's re-read 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment"
Let's re-read 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together"
Wait, "repaid their support" - "support" here means the financial assistance or funds they received.
Is there a better fit?
Let's check WordNet for "support".
Sense 1: the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities.
Sense 11: financial resources provided to make some project possible.
Wait, let's search for "repaid their support". This is likely from a news article about the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) bailout. "Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their support in June."
In WordNet, "financial resources provided to make some project possible" is sense 11.
Wait, let's look at the exact WordNet definitions.
WordNet "support" noun:
1. the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of
3. something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest
4. a military operation (often involving new supplies of men and materiel) to strengthen a military force or aid in the performance of its mission
5. documentary validation
6. the financial means whereby one lives
7. supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation
8. the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening
9. a musical part (vocal or instrumental) that supports or provides background for other musical parts
10. any device that bears the weight of another thing
11. financial resources provided to make some project possible

Is "support" in this sentence sense 11? "financial resources provided to make some project possible"
Or is it sense 1? "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities"
Actually, "repaid their support" -> they repaid the financial resources.
Let's consider "financial resources provided to make some project possible". The bailout was to make the banks' survival possible.
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
What about "financial resources provided to make some project possible"? Yes, that fits "financial resources".
Let's search my internal knowledge for this exact sentence and its WordNet sense.
Sentence: "Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their support in June."
This is from a news corpus (e.g., OntoNotes or similar).
In WordNet, "financial resources provided to make some project possible" is sense 11.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"financial resources provided to make some project possible" -> 11.
Let's review the options.
1. the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
11. financial resources provided to make some project possible

If they "repaid their support", they repaid the money. "financial resources" is a noun phrase that can be repaid. "activity" cannot be repaid. You repay the financial resources.
Therefore, sense 11 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm: "the foundation provided support for the experiment" -> financial resources.
"repaid their support" -> repaid the financial resources.
Yes, 11.
I will output 11.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Minute by minute, they sent out <t>reports</t> of gruesome testimony via Twitter."
The word "reports" here refers to short accounts of the news or events, specifically "gruesome testimony" sent out via Twitter.
Let's check the senses:
1. written document describing findings (study)
2. act of informing by verbal report
3. a short account of the news (report of his speech)
4. sharp explosive sound
5. written evaluation of a student
6. essay
7. general estimation (reputation)

Wait, "reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter" - Twitter is a medium for short accounts of news or events.
Sense 3: "a short account of the news" - examples: "the report of his speech".
Is it sense 3? Let's check sense 1: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group". A tweet is not really a written document describing findings.
Sense 3 fits "short account of the news" or "short account of an event".
Let's re-read the sentence: "Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter."
This is a short account of the news/events.
Let's consider Sense 3.
Wait, let's look at WordNet for "report":
1. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group
2. the act of informing by verbal report
3. a short account of the news
4. a sharp explosive sound
5. a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "testimony" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome <t>testimony</t> via Twitter."

Senses:
1. definition=a solemn statement made under oath
2. definition=an assertion offering firsthand authentication of a fact | examples=according to his own testimony he can't do it
3. definition=something that serves as evidence | examples=his effort was testimony to his devotion

In the sentence, "reports of gruesome testimony" refers to firsthand accounts or assertions of what happened (gruesome events), likely from witnesses.
Let's look at sense 2: "an assertion offering firsthand authentication of a fact". This fits "reports of gruesome testimony" (firsthand accounts of gruesome events).
Sense 1 is specifically "under oath", which doesn't fit Twitter reports.
Sense 3 is "something that serves as evidence" (e.g., "testimony to his devotion"), which doesn't fit "reports of gruesome testimony".

Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check. "reports of gruesome testimony" -> firsthand accounts of gruesome facts/events.
Yes, sense 2.

Sentence: <t>In the end</t>, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze.

Senses:
1. definition=after a very lengthy period of time | examples=she will succeed in the long run
2. definition=as the end result of a succession or process | examples=ultimately he had to give in

Analysis of the sentence:
"In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages..."
This means "ultimately" or "as the final result/conclusion". It does not mean "after a very lengthy period of time" (in the long run). It's summarizing the final point or result of the defense's argument or the situation.
Sense 2: "as the end result of a succession or process" fits "ultimately".

Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "in the long run"
Sense 2: "ultimately"

"In the end" here is used as a discourse marker meaning "ultimately" or "finally" in terms of the argument or conclusion, not necessarily a lengthy period of time.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check. "In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages..." -> Ultimately, the defense says...
Yes, Sense 2.
Number to return: 2.

Yes, this is the correct sense.

The word is "arguments".
In this context, "appeals arguments" refers to the course of reasoning or the facts/assertions offered as evidence to support the appeal.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true
2. a contentious speech act; a dispute
3. a discussion in which reasons are advanced
4. a summary of the subject or plot
5. (computer science) a reference or value passed to a function
6. a variable in a logical or mathematical expression
7. a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning

Wait, "appeals arguments" in a legal context usually refers to the course of reasoning or the facts/assertions offered as evidence.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true"
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning | examples=I can't follow your line of reasoning"

In legal contexts, an "argument" is often a course of reasoning or a set of assertions.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "argument":
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true
2. a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement
3. a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal
4. a summary of the subject or plot of a literary work or play or movie

"appeals arguments" -> arguments in an appeal. These are the reasons or course of reasoning presented to the court.
Is it sense 1 or sense 7?
"sketch out appeals arguments" -> sketch out the course of reasoning / line of reasoning.
Let's search for "appeals arguments" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Actually, "argument" as "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood" fits "line of reasoning" or "legal argument".
Wait, sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning".
In legal terms, an argument is a course of reasoning. "sketch out appeals arguments" = sketch out the line of reasoning for the appeals.
Let's look at similar examples. "The lawyer's argument was convincing." -> sense 7.
"sketch out appeals arguments" -> arguments as in lines of reasoning.
Let's check if there is a more specific match.
"appeals arguments" -> arguments (plural).
Could it be 1? "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
Or 7? "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
Usually, "argument" in the sense of a legal argument is sense 7 (course of reasoning) or sense 1 (assertion).
Let's consider "line of reasoning" -> sense 7.
"sketch out appeals arguments" -> sketch out the arguments (lines of reasoning).
Let's guess 7.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
Arguments here are the points of reasoning.
Let's check WordNet:
argument (n)
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true ("it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true")
2. a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement ("they were involved in a violent argument")
3. a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal ("the argument over foreign aid goes on and on")
4. a summary of the subject or plot of a literary work or play or movie ("the editor added the argument to the poem")
5. (computer science) a reference or value that is passed to a function, procedure, subroutine, command, or program

7. a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning ("I can't follow your line of reasoning")

In legal contexts, "argument" is often defined as a course of reasoning. "The argument of the case".
Let's choose 7.
Wait, "appeals arguments" could be "assertions offered as evidence". But "sketch out" implies outlining a course of reasoning.
Let's consider "argument" in the sense of "line of reasoning". Yes, 7.
Let's double check if 1 is better. "a fact or assertion offered as evidence". "sketch out appeals arguments" -> sketch out the assertions? No, sketch out the lines of reasoning.
I will go with 7.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only the number of the correct sense."
I will output 7.
Wait, let's think if 1 is more appropriate. "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
In law, an "argument" is a statement or series of statements intended to persuade.
WordNet sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning".
Example: "I can't follow your line of reasoning".
"sketch out appeals arguments" -> sketch out the lines of reasoning.
I am confident it is 7.
Let's consider if it could be 1. "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true".

Is it 1 or 8?
"tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"
"an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"

Let's look at similar examples. "The case will be heard in the courts." -> tribunal.
WordNet sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
WordNet sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"

Wait, "courts" in "occupy the courts" usually means the judicial system or tribunals.
Let's search for "occupy the courts" in WordNet.
Actually, the sentence is from a news article.
"appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
In WordNet, "court" has:
1. an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business
8. a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws

Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
Sense 1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business
Sense 8: a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws

Wait, "occupy the courts" -> tribunals.
Let's consider "tribunal" vs "assembly". "occupy the courts" means the judicial bodies.
Is it 1 or 8?
Let's search for "occupy the courts" in WordNet examples. No example.
What about "court" as "tribunal"?
"the courts" as a plural often refers to the system of tribunals.
Let's look at the options.
1. definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business
8. definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws

In WordNet, "court" sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"

Wait, "tribunal" is a better fit for "the courts" as institutions.
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
court (n)
1. an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business
2. a room in which a lawcourt sits
3. the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state
4. a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played

9. the residence of a sovereign or nobleman
10. an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings
11. respectful deference

If I have to choose between 1 and 8, "tribunal" (8) is often used for "the courts" as an institution.
Let's search for "occupy the courts" in similar datasets (like SemEval or WSD).
Sentence: "But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
This is from the OntoNotes or SemCor dataset.
In OntoNotes, "court" might be mapped to a specific sense.
Wait, "tribunal" is sense 8.
Let's check the definition of sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business".
Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".
"occupy the courts" -> the tribunals.
I will guess 8.

Let's rethink: "courts" as in "the judicial system".
Is "tribunal" the right word? Yes, "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".
Let's consider "court" in "court filings". That's an adjective or noun adjunct.
"occupy the courts" -> the tribunals.
I'll go with 8.
Wait, let's search my internal knowledge for "occupy the courts for years".
Could it be 1? "an assembly..."
"tribunal" is more abstract and fits "the courts" as institutions.
Let's choose 8.
Wait, let's look at the wording: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws". This perfectly matches "courts" in the sense of judicial bodies.
I will output 8.
Let me double check if 1 is better. "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business". "Assembly" implies the people gathered. "Tribunal" implies the institution. "Occupy the courts" means occupy the institution's time/resources. So 8 is better.
I'll output 8.
