Sentence: "Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't <t>backed</t> a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century."

In this context, "backed" means to support or vote for a candidate.
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=be behind; approve of | examples=He plumped for the Labor Party
2. definition=travel backward | examples=back into the driveway
3. definition=give support or one's approval to | examples=I'll second that motion
4. definition=cause to travel backward | examples=back the car into the parking spot

8. definition=shift to a counterclockwise direction | examples=the wind backed
9. definition=establish as valid or genuine | examples=Can you back up your claims?
10. definition=strengthen by providing with a back or backing

Wait, "give support or one's approval to" (Sense 3) or "be behind; approve of" (Sense 1)?
Let's check WordNet senses for "back".
Sense 1: be behind; approve of (e.g., "He plumped for the Labor Party", "I backed the motion")
Sense 3: give support or one's approval to (e.g., "I'll second that motion", "I can't support this plan")
Wait, "back" in WordNet:
1. back - be behind; approve of; "He plumped for the Labor Party"; "I backed the motion"
2. back - travel backward; "back into the driveway"
3. back - give support or one's approval to; "I'll second that motion"; "I can't support this plan"
4. back - cause to travel backward; "back the car into the parking spot"
5. back - support financially; "back this enterprise"
6. back - be in back of; "My garage backs their yard"
7. back - place a bet on; "Which horse are you backing?"
8. back - shift to a counterclockwise direction; "the wind backed"
9. back - establish as valid or genuine; "Can you back up your claims?"
10. back - strengthen by providing with a back or backing

In the sentence, "backed a Democratic presidential candidate" means to support or vote for.
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"be behind; approve of" -> "He plumped for the Labor Party"
"give support or one's approval to" -> "I'll second that motion"

Let's look at the exact WordNet definitions.
WordNet 3.1:
back (verb)
1. back - be behind; approve of; "He plumped for the Labor Party"; "I backed the motion"
2. back - travel backward; "back into the driveway"
3. back - give support or one's approval to; "I'll second that motion"; "I can't support this plan"
4. back - cause to travel backward; "back the car into the parking spot"

6. back - be in back of; "My garage backs their yard"
7. back - place a bet on; "Which horse are you backing?"
8. back - shift to a counterclockwise direction; "the wind backed"
9. back - establish as valid or genuine; "Can you back up your claims?"
10. back - strengthen by providing with a back or backing

Wait, "backed a Democratic presidential candidate" -> "be behind; approve of" (Sense 1) or "give support or one's approval to" (Sense 3)?
Actually, "back" meaning to support a candidate is often Sense 1: "be behind; approve of".
Let's search for "backed a Democratic presidential candidate" in WordNet or similar datasets.
In the SemEval or similar WSD datasets, "back" meaning to support a candidate is often mapped to "be behind; approve of".
Let's check the examples: "He plumped for the Labor Party" is about supporting a political party/candidate.
So Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"backed a Democratic presidential candidate" -> supporting a candidate.
Sense 1: be behind; approve of. Example: He plumped for the Labor Party.
Sense 3: give support or one's approval to. Example: I'll second that motion.

"plumped for the Labor Party" is very similar to "backed a Democratic presidential candidate". Both are about political support.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.
Let's review the options.
1. definition=be behind; approve of | examples=He plumped for the Labor Party
3. definition=give support or one's approval to | examples=I'll second that motion

I will go with 1.
Wait, let's think if 1 is definitely the one.
"be behind; approve of" -> "He plumped for the Labor Party"
Yes, "plump for" means to choose or support.
So 1 is the correct sense.
I will return 1.

The word "level" here refers to "federal level", which means a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process, or a relative position or degree of value in a graded group, or a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality.
Wait, let's look at the options.
1. definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence
2. definition=a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | examples=lumber of the highest grade
3. definition=a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process | examples=a remarkable degree of frankness

8. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | examples=what level is the office on?

Wait, "federal level" refers to a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process? Or maybe "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group"?
Let's check WordNet for "level".
Sense 1: a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality (e.g., a moderate grade of intelligence)
Sense 2: a relative position or degree of value in a graded group (e.g., lumber of the highest grade)
Sense 3: a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process (e.g., a remarkable degree of frankness)
Wait, "federal level" is a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process?
Let's search for "federal level" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Actually, "level" in "federal level" means a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process.
Wait, let's look at the examples:
"a remarkable degree of frankness" -> degree.
"at the federal level" -> level.
Is it sense 3?
Let's consider "level" as in "at the federal level".
WordNet 3.0:
level (n)
1. a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality
2. a relative position or degree of value in a graded group
3. a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process
4. height above ground
5. indicator that establishes the horizontal when a bubble is centered in a tube of liquid
6. a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line
7. an abstract place usually conceived as having depth
8. a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale

Let's look at "federal level". It's a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process.
Wait, could it be 3?
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "a remarkable degree of frankness".
What about "at the federal level"?
In WordNet, "level" sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
Is "federal level" a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series? Yes, local, state, federal.
Let's check if there is another sense.
Sense 1: position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality.
Sense 2: relative position or degree of value in a graded group.
Sense 3: specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process.
"federal level" is a specific identifiable position in a series (local, state, federal).
Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"at the federal level"
Is it sense 3?
Yes, "level" meaning a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process.
For example, "at the local level", "at the federal level".
I will output 3.
Let's review the options.
1. position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality
2. relative position or degree of value in a graded group
3. specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process
4. height above ground
5. indicator that establishes the horizontal
6. flat surface at right angles to a plumb line
7. abstract place usually conceived as having depth
8. structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale

"federal level" fits "specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
I am confident it is 3.
Another possibility: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth" (sense 7). But "federal level" is not about depth, it's about a series (local, state, federal).
So 3 is the best fit.
I will return 3.

Let's look at similar examples. "fiscal year", "school year", "election year". These are all sense 2.
Let's check if there is an exact match in some dataset (like WordNet or SemCor).
"presidential election year" -> "year"
In SemCor or similar WSD datasets, "election year" might be sense 2.
Let's think if "year" in "presidential election year" means a period of time containing 365 days, or a period of time used for a particular activity.
Actually, "election year" is a year used for elections. So sense 2.
Let's re-read sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity". Wait, "occupying a regular part of a calendar year"? An election year is a whole calendar year, not a part of it.
Wait, "a school year" occupies a regular part of a calendar year? No, a school year is a period of time.
Let's check WordNet definition of sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity". Wait, no. WordNet says: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - wait, no, the definition is "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - actually, WordNet 3.1 says:
"year"
1. year, twelvemonth, yr (a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days)
2. year (a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity) "a school year"
Wait, if it says "occupying a regular part of a calendar year", that might be a typo in my memory or the prompt. The prompt says: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity".
But "presidential election year" is a whole year.
Is it sense 1? "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days".
Let's search my internal knowledge for "presidential election year" in WSD datasets.
Maybe it's sense 1. "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948..."
If I say "In 1948, a presidential election year...", "year" here just means the 365-day period.
Let's consider "school year". A school year is not a calendar year, it's a specific period. An election year is a calendar year in which an election happens. So it's a period of time containing 365 days.
Wait, let's look at the phrase "presidential election year". It's a compound noun. The head is "year".
Is "election year" sense 1 or 2?
In WordNet, "fiscal year" is sense 2? No, "fiscal year" is a period of 12 months.
Let's check the exact definition in WordNet:
Sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" -> this definition is weird. "occupying a regular part of a calendar year"? No, maybe "a period of time ... that is used for some particular activity".
Actually, the prompt says: "2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year"
Wait, if the definition says "occupying a regular part of a calendar year", then an election year (which is a full calendar year) might NOT be sense 2.
Let's re-read carefully: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity". This sounds like "summer", "semester", "fishing season". But the example is "a school year". A school year does NOT occupy a regular part of a calendar year, it IS a period of time. Maybe the definition is "a period of time ... that is used for some particular activity" and "occupying a regular part of a calendar year" is a mangled version of "a period of time ... that is used for some particular activity" or maybe it means "a period of time (like a school year) that is used for some particular activity".
Actually, WordNet 3.0 definition for year (sense 2) is: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" -- wait, no. WordNet says: "a period of time ... that is used for some particular activity". Let me check the exact wording of WordNet.
WordNet 3.1:
year
n
1. year, twelvemonth, yr (a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days)
2. year (a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity) "a school year"
Wait, if the definition literally says "occupying a regular part of a calendar year", that's what the prompt gives.
But "presidential election year" is a year. Is it sense 1 or 2?
Let's think if "election year" is considered a "particular activity". Yes, elections are a particular activity.
But is an election year a "regular part of a calendar year"? No, it's a whole year.
Maybe the definition in the prompt is exactly from WordNet, and "school year" is the example.
Let's search for "election year" in WordNet. It's not a synset.
What about "presidential election year"?
If I have to choose between 1 and 2.
"year" in "presidential election year" refers to the 365-day period in which the election occurs.
Let's consider "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948..."
Here, "year" means the 365-day period. "In only one [365-day period] prior to 1948..."
I will guess sense 1.
Wait, let's look at similar sentences in SemCor.
"election year" -> year.
Is "election year" sense 1 or 2?
In many WSD tasks, "school year", "fiscal year", "calendar year" are sense 2? No, "calendar year" is sense 1.
"fiscal year" might be sense 2.
"election year" is a year in which an election is held. It is a specific year, so it's a period of time containing 365 days.
Let's choose 1.

Let's rethink: does "presidential election year" mean a year used for a particular activity? Yes, the activity is the presidential election.
But the definition of sense 2 says "occupying a regular part of a calendar year". An election year is a whole calendar year, not a part of it. A school year is also not a part of a calendar year, it's roughly 9 months, but it's called a "year".
Wait, could "year" in "presidential election year" be sense 1?
Yes, "year" = a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
Let's check the context: "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20%..."
This means "In only one year (which was a presidential election year) prior to 1948..."
So "year" is the head noun, meaning a 365-day period.
I will go with 1.

Let's double check if there's any reason it would be 2.
"a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity"
If the definition explicitly says "occupying a regular part of a calendar year", then a full year cannot be sense 2.
Therefore, sense 1 is the most logical choice.
"presidential election year" -> year (sense 1).
I'll output 1.

4. definition=a federation of tribes (especially Native American tribes) | examples=the Shawnee nation

In the sentence, "the nation's congressional districts" refers to the country as a whole, specifically the people or the country itself. Wait, "the nation's congressional districts" - does it mean the people or the country?
Let's look at the options.
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (country/state).
Sense 2: the people who live in a nation or country.
"the nation's congressional districts" - congressional districts belong to the country (the politically organized body). Or does it mean the people?
Wait, "the nation's mood" is sense 2. "the nation's congressional districts" - districts are geographical/political divisions of the country. So it's the country itself.
Let's check WordNet for "nation".
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government. (Synonyms: state, country, land, commonwealth, body politic, res publica)
Sense 2: the people who live in a nation or country. (Synonyms: country)
In "the nation's congressional districts", "nation" refers to the country as a political entity.
Let's consider "the nation's congressional districts". The districts are part of the country.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"the nation's congressional districts" -> the country's congressional districts.
Let's search for similar examples. "the nation's capital", "the nation's economy" -> usually sense 1 (country).
"the nation's mood" -> sense 2 (people).
Therefore, "nation's congressional districts" refers to the country (sense 1).

Let's double check.
"nation" in WordNet:
1. nation, state, country, land, commonwealth, body politic, res publica - a politically organized body of people under a single government
2. nation, country - the people who live in a nation or country

"the nation's congressional districts" -> the country's congressional districts.
So sense 1.
Let's review the sentence: "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."
Here, "nation" means the country (United States).
So sense 1.
I will return 1.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "choose" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts <t>choose</t> a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."

Senses:
1. pick out, select, or choose from a number of alternatives (e.g., Take any one of these cards)
2. select as an alternative over another (e.g., I always choose the fish over the meat courses in this restaurant)
3. see fit or proper to act in a certain way; decide to act in a certain way (e.g., She chose not to attend classes and now she failed the exam)

In the sentence, the congressional districts "choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."
This implies selecting one alternative over another (a different party's candidate for the White House *than* for the House of Representatives).
Wait, "choose a different party's candidate... than for the House of Representatives" means they selected one alternative over another.
Let's look at Sense 2: "select as an alternative over another". The sentence explicitly says "choose a different party's candidate... than for the House of Representatives". This perfectly matches "select as an alternative over another".
Let's double check Sense 1: "pick out, select, or choose from a number of alternatives".
Sense 2 specifically mentions "select as an alternative over another", which aligns with "choose a different party's candidate ... than ...".

Let's read the sentence again: "choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."
This is selecting one alternative over another.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's review the examples.
Sense 1: Take any one of these cards.
Sense 2: I always choose the fish over the meat courses in this restaurant.
Sentence: choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives.
This is exactly "choose X over Y" or "choose X than Y".
So Sense 2.

2. definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash

In the sentence, "percentage" refers to a proportion (equals a third, above 40%).
This matches sense 1.

Let's double check.
"percentage" = a proportion in relation to a whole.
"equals a third and twice has been above 40%" clearly refers to a proportion/percentage.
Sense 2 is about "share" or "assets", which doesn't fit the context of "equals a third and twice has been above 40%".

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

"percentage equals a third" -> the percentage is equivalent to a third.

10. definition=be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | examples=The child knows right from wrong
11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "As we <t>know</t>, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
The word "know" here means being aware of a fact or a specific piece of information, possessing knowledge or information about it.
Let's check the senses:
1. be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about. Example: I know that the President lied to the people.
3. be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt. Example: I know that I left the key on the table.

Wait, "As we know, voters tend to favor..." is a statement of a fact or piece of information.
Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

Let's look at WordNet senses for "know":
1. know - be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about ("I know that the President lied to the people")
2. know - know how to do or perform something ("She knows how to knit")
3. know - be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt ("I know that I left the key on the table")
4. know - be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object ("She doesn't know this composer")
5. know - have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations ("I know the feeling!")
6. acknowledge - accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority ("The Crown Prince was acknowledged as the true heir to the throne")
7. know - have fixed in the mind ("I know Latin")
8. sleep with, lie with, have intercourse with - have sexual intercourse with ("This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm")
9. know - know the nature or character of ("we all knew her as a big show-off")
10. know - be able to distinguish, recognize as being different ("The child knows right from wrong")
11. know - perceive as familiar ("I know this voice!")

"As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
This is being aware of a fact or a specific piece of information.
Sense 1 fits perfectly. "I know that the President lied to the people" is similar to "we know that voters tend to favor...".
Let's double check if it could be 3. "regard as true beyond any doubt". But "As we know" is a standard phrase for "be cognizant or aware of a fact".
I will output 1.
Wait, let's re-read the example for 1: "I know that the President lied to the people".
Sentence: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
This is exactly sense 1.
Let's confirm.
Yes, 1.

Senses:
1. definition=promote over another | examples=he favors his second daughter
2. definition=consider as the favorite | examples=The local team was favored
3. definition=treat gently or carefully
4. definition=bestow a privilege upon

In the sentence, "voters tend to favor Republicans more..." means they prefer or promote Republicans over another (Democrats, presumably).
Sense 1: "promote over another" fits perfectly. "voters tend to promote Republicans over another".
Sense 2: "consider as the favorite" - usually used in passive or as an adjective "favored", or "I favor the local team". But "promote over another" is a better fit for "favor X more in races...". Wait, "favor" as a verb meaning "prefer" or "show partiality to".
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "he favors his second daughter" -> shows partiality, promotes over another.
Sentence: "voters tend to favor Republicans more..." -> show partiality to, prefer.
Sense 1 is the best match.

Let's double check.
"favor" (verb)
1. promote over another (e.g., he favors his second daughter)
2. consider as the favorite (e.g., The local team was favored)
3. treat gently or carefully
4. bestow a privilege upon

"voters tend to favor Republicans more" -> they prefer them, show partiality to them, promote them over another.
Sense 1 is the correct answer.

The word "races" here refers to political competitions, specifically elections for president and Congress.

2. definition=a contest of speed | examples=the race is to the swift
3. definition=people who are believed to belong to the same genetic stock | examples=some biologists doubt that there are important genetic differences between races of human beings

5. definition=the flow of air that is driven backwards by an aircraft propeller
6. definition=a canal for a current of water

6. definition=the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for <t>president</t> than in those for Congress."
The word "president" here refers to the office of the United States head of state, as it is contrasted with "Congress" and refers to "races for president".
Let's check the senses:
1. executive officer of a firm or corporation
2. the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government
3. the chief executive of a republic
4. the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization
5. the head administrative officer of a college or university
6. the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years

Wait, "races for president" refers to the office, not the person. "a President is elected every four years" matches "races for president".
Let's re-read sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"
In "races for president", "president" refers to the office. "races for the office of the United States head of state".
Let's see: "a President is elected every four years" -> "races for president".
Yes, sense 6 is the office.
Let's double check. "races for president" -> the office.
Sense 6: the office of the United States head of state.
Is it 6? Yes.
Let's consider "races for president". "president" here is the office.
Sense 6 fits perfectly.
Let's review the options.
1. firm/corp
2. person who holds the office
3. chief executive of a republic
4. officer who presides
5. head of college
6. office of the US head of state

Sentence: "races for president" -> the office.
Therefore, 6.
I will return 6.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "major" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the <t>major</t> - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

The phrase is "major-party popular vote".
"major-party" refers to the larger or more important political parties (like Democrats and Republicans).
Let's look at the senses:
1. of greater importance or stature or rank
2. greater in scope or effect
3. greater in number or size or amount (a major portion)
4. of the field of academic study
5. of a scale or mode
6. of greater seriousness or danger
7. of full legal age
8. of the elder of two boys

Wait, "major party" usually means the party of greater importance, stature, or rank, or greater in number/size.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "a major artist" -> greater importance or stature or rank.
Sense 3: "a major portion (a majority) of the population" -> greater in number or size or amount.

In "major-party", it means the parties that are larger in size/number (i.e., the two main parties). Or is it "greater in importance or stature"?
Let's consider "major party". A major party is one of the two or more political parties that have significant electoral support.
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"major-party popular vote" -> the popular vote for the major parties.
Let's search for "major party" in WordNet.
WordNet sense for "major" in "major party":
"greater in number or size or amount" -> "a major portion (a majority) of the population"
Wait, "major party" is often defined as a party of greater importance or size.
Let's look at the exact WordNet definitions.
major (adj)
1. of greater importance or stature or rank; "a major artist"; "a major political figure"; "a major spokesman"
2. greater in scope or effect; "a major contribution"; "a major improvement"
3. greater in number or size or amount; "a major portion (a majority) of the population"
4. of the field of academic study in which one concentrates or specializes; "his major field was mathematics"
5. of a scale or mode; "major scales"; "C major"
6. of greater seriousness or danger; "a major earthquake"; "a major illness"
7. of full legal age; "major children"
8. of the elder of two boys with the same family name; "Jones major"

In "major-party", it means the parties that are larger in number/size (i.e., the two main parties, as opposed to minor parties). Or is it "greater in importance or stature or rank"?
Actually, "major party" is often contrasted with "minor party". Minor parties are smaller in number/size. So "major" here means greater in number or size or amount.
Wait, let's think if "major party" is sense 1 or 3.
"a major artist" (1)
"a major portion" (3)
"major party" -> a party that is larger in size/number of voters.
Let's search my internal knowledge for "major party" WordNet sense.
In WordNet, "major" as in "major party" might be sense 1 or 3.
Let's consider "major-league" -> greater in importance or stature.
"major party" -> greater in number or size or amount?
Let's check the examples in WordNet for sense 1: "a major artist", "a major political figure", "a major spokesman".
For sense 3: "a major portion (a majority) of the population".
Is "major party" sense 1 or 3?
"major party" is a party of greater importance or size.
Let's look at the phrase "major-party popular vote".
Could it be sense 1? "greater importance or stature or rank".
Or sense 3? "greater in number or size or amount".
Actually, "major party" is often defined as a political party that has a significant number of voters.
Let's search for "major party" in WordNet.
Wait, "major" in "major party" is often sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank".
Let's check the exact WordNet entry for "major".
Synset 1: of greater importance or stature or rank. Examples: a major artist, a major political figure, a major spokesman.
Synset 3: greater in number or size or amount. Examples: a major portion (a majority) of the population.
Is "major party" in Synset 1 or 3?
"major party" is a party of greater importance or stature.
Let's consider "major" in "major party". A major party is one of the two or more political parties that have significant electoral support.
I will guess sense 1, because "major party" is a standard collocation meaning a party of greater importance/stature, similar to "major political figure".
Wait, let's think if "major" in "major party" means "greater in number or size or amount". A major party has a larger number of members.
But "major" in "major party" is often considered sense 1. Let's search for "major party" in WordNet.
Actually, the phrase "major party" might not be explicitly in WordNet, but "major" modifying "party" usually falls under sense 1 (greater importance or stature or rank) or sense 3 (greater in number or size or amount).
Let's look at the sentence: "the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."
Here, "major-party" is an adjective.
If I have to choose between 1 and 3, "major party" is typically sense 1. "Major" as in "main" or "principal".
Wait, "major" meaning "main" or "principal" is sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank".
Let's check sense 1 examples: "a major artist", "a major political figure", "a major spokesman".
Sense 3 examples: "a major portion (a majority) of the population".
"major party" -> a party of greater importance or stature. I'll go with 1.
Wait, let's reconsider. "major party" vs "minor party". Minor means lesser in size or importance.
In WordNet, "major" (adj) sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank".
Let's choose 1.
Wait, could it be 3? "greater in number or size or amount". A major party is larger in size.
But "major" in "major party" is more about importance/stature (the main parties).
Let's guess 1.
Let's double check. "major-party" -> "major" meaning principal, main.
Sense 1: of greater importance or stature or rank.
I will output 1.
Let's review the sentence again. "major-party popular vote".
Yes, 1 seems the most appropriate.
Another option: 3. "greater in number or size or amount".
But "major party" is a fixed phrase meaning the principal parties. Principal = greater importance.
I'll output 1.

Let's check sense 5 again: "the total number of voters who participated". "popular vote" is the total number of votes.
Is it 5? "they are expecting a large vote" -> "popular vote" is the total number of votes.
