Sentence: "Case Studies Each <t>national</t> report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

Senses:
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country
2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country
4. owned or maintained for the public by the national government
5. inside the country
6. characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation
7. of or relating to nationality

In the sentence, "national report" refers to a report that belongs to or is produced by a specific nation or country (e.g., a report for a specific country in a comparative study).
Let's look at the options.
Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" -> "national report" fits this well. It's a report belonging to a nation.
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" -> "national government". A report might not be applicable to the *entire* nation, but rather it is a report *of* a nation.
Wait, let's consider WordNet senses for "national".
WordNet:
1. national - of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country; "national hero"; "national anthem"; "national banks"; "national railroads"; "national policy"
2. national - limited to or in the interests of a particular nation; "national interests"; "national security"
3. national - concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country; "the national government"; "national elections"; "of national concern"; "the national highway system"; "national forests"
4. national - owned or maintained for the public by the national government; "national parks"
5. national - inside the country; "the British Home Office has broader responsibilities than the United States Department of the Interior"
6. national - characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation; "a national trait"
7. national - of or relating to nationality; "national origin"

"national report" -> a report belonging to a nation or country. Sense 1 fits best. "national hero", "national report".
Let's double check. "Each national report contains..." -> Each report of a nation. Belonging to a nation or country.
Sense 1: of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country.
Yes, "national report" is a report belonging to a nation.

Let's check if there's any other sense.
Sense 3: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country. "national report" could be a report applicable to an entire nation, but "belonging to a nation or country" (Sense 1) is more direct for "national report" in the context of comparative case studies (e.g., each country's report).

Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the examples for Sense 1: "national hero", "national anthem", "national banks", "national railroads", "national policy". "national report" fits this pattern.
I will return 1.

6. definition=hold back, as of a danger or an enemy; check the expansion or influence of | examples=Arrest the downward trend

In the sentence, "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives..."
This means the report includes or has as a component a portfolio of initiatives.
Sense 1: include or contain; have as a component.
Sense 2: contain or hold; have within (more physical, like a jar carrying wine).
Sense 1 fits best because a report includes/has as a component a portfolio of initiatives.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: include or contain; have as a component.
Sense 2: contain or hold; have within.
"Each national report contains a portfolio..." -> The report includes a portfolio.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's see the examples for Sense 1: "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper". This is similar to a report containing a portfolio.
Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
Wait, let's look at WordNet definitions for "contain".
contain v
1: include or contain; have as a component; "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper"; "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's"
2: contain or hold; have within; "The jar carries wine"; "The canteen holds fresh water"; "This can contains water"

2. definition=bring forward and present to the mind | examples=We presented the arguments to him
3. definition=perform (a play), especially on a stage | examples=we are going to stage `Othello'
4. definition=hand over formally

12. definition=formally present a debutante, a representative of a country, etc.
13. definition=recognize with a gesture prescribed by a military regulation; assume a prescribed position | examples=When the officers show up, the soldiers have to salute

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Case Studies Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best <t>present</t> policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The word "present" here means to show, exhibit, or display policies and practices.
Let's check the senses:
1. definition=give an exhibition of to an interested audience | examples=She shows her dogs frequently
2. definition=bring forward and present to the mind | examples=We presented the arguments to him
3. definition=perform (a play), especially on a stage
4. definition=hand over formally
5. definition=introduce | examples=This poses an interesting question
6. definition=give, especially as an honor or reward
7. definition=give as a present; make a gift of
8. definition=deliver (a speech, oration, or idea)
9. definition=cause to come to know personally
10. definition=represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture
11. definition=present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize
12. definition=formally present a debutante, a representative of a country, etc.
13. definition=recognize with a gesture prescribed by a military regulation

Wait, "present policies and practices" -> "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" or "bring forward and present to the mind"?
Actually, "present" in this context means to show or display. Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" (show).
Let's re-read the sentence: "initiatives which best present policies and practices..."
Could it be sense 1? "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" -> "show".
Or sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" -> "present the arguments".
Or sense 10: "represent abstractly".
Let's look at WordNet senses for "present" (verb).
1. present, show - give an exhibition of to an interested audience
2. present, represent, lay out - bring forward and present to the mind
3. stage, present, represent - perform (a play), especially on a stage
4. present - hand over formally
5. present, pose - introduce
6. present - give, especially as an honor or reward
7. present, give - give as a present; make a gift of
8. present - deliver (a speech, oration, or idea)
9. present, introduce - cause to come to know personally
10. present, represent - represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture
11. confront, present - present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize
12. present - formally present a debutante, a representative of a country, etc.
13. present - recognize with a gesture prescribed by a military regulation; assume a prescribed position

"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> "show" or "represent"?
"present" here means to show or display. "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" (Sense 1).
Wait, "present policies and practices" -> "show" policies and practices.
Let's consider "present" as in "show".
"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> "show" policies and practices.
Is it sense 1? "give an exhibition of to an interested audience"
Or sense 2? "bring forward and present to the mind"
Or sense 10? "represent abstractly"
Let's search for similar examples. "The report presents the findings" -> present (show).
In WordNet, "present" (verb) sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience". Example: "She shows her dogs frequently".
Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind". Example: "We presented the arguments to him".
Sense 10: "represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture". Example: "The father is portrayed as a good-looking man in this painting".

"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> "show" policies and practices.
I think Sense 1 is the best fit. "present" = "show".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"present" = "show" (Sense 1).
"initiatives which best show policies and practices" -> makes sense.
"initiatives which best bring forward and present to the mind policies and practices" -> a bit awkward.
"initiatives which best represent abstractly policies and practices" -> no.

Let's look at Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience".
Is there any other sense?
What about "present" as in "demonstrate"?
WordNet:
present, show (verb)
give an exhibition of to an interested audience

I will go with 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment..."
Could it be 1? Yes.
Let's consider 1.
I will output 1.

In the sentence, "policies" refers to plans of action or practices adopted by organizations or groups to improve recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers.
Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" fits perfectly.

5. definition=knowledge of how something is usually done | examples=it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner

In the sentence, "policies and practices" refers to customary ways of operation or behavior, or established methods/procedures in the workplace and community.
Let's look at sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior". This fits "policies and practices" perfectly.
Sense 5: "knowledge of how something is usually done". "Practices" here refers to the actual ways of doing things, not just the knowledge.
Sense 3: "translating an idea into action". "Policies and practices" usually means the rules and the customary ways of operating.
Sense 1 is the best fit. "policies and practices" is a common collocation meaning rules and customary ways of operation.

Let's double check.
"policies and practices" -> customary ways of operation or behavior.
Sense 1: a customary way of operation or behavior.
Yes, sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the options.
1. a customary way of operation or behavior
2. systematic training
3. translating an idea into action
4. exercise of a profession
5. knowledge of how something is usually done

"policies and practices" -> practices as in "best practices", which are customary ways of operation or behavior.

6. definition=(ecology) a group of interdependent organisms inhabiting the same region and interacting with each other

In the sentence, "community" refers to the local area or society where people live, as opposed to the "work place".
Sense 1: "a group of people living in a particular local area" fits perfectly.
Sense 5: "a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences" is more about the physical district, but sense 1 is the standard definition for "in the community" (meaning the people/society of a local area). Let's check WordNet.
WordNet sense 1: a group of people living in a particular local area.
WordNet sense 5: a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences.
"in the community" usually refers to the people or the local area as a social entity. "work place and the community" contrasts the workplace with the broader local society. Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."
This means the community as a group of people living in a particular local area.
Sense 1.

5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

In the sentence, "country" refers to a nation or state, a politically organized body of people under a single government, as initiatives are selected for each country (nation/state).
Let's check the senses.
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government. This fits perfectly, as "country" here means a nation or state.
Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation.
Sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country.
Sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns.
Sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary.

"For each country" -> For each nation/state. This aligns with Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"country" in WordNet:
1. country, state, nation, land (a politically organized body of people under a single government)
2. country, land, soil (the territory occupied by a nation)
3. country, nation (the people who live in a nation or country)
4. country (an area outside of cities and towns)
5. country, region (a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary)

In the sentence, "For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected..."
This refers to the political entity (the state/nation). So Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Wait, let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2. "For each country" usually means the nation as a political entity.
I will return 1.

1. definition=a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure
2. definition=a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view

In the sentence, "initiatives" are being selected for further in-depth case study. An initiative is a social unit or project, similar to a corporation or division, where factors leading to success or failure are studied. Sense 1 fits "initiatives" better than Sense 2, which is about a person or group from a social/psychological/medical point of view.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: "a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure" -> "initiatives" fits "social unit" or project.
Sense 2: "a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view" -> "initiatives" are not persons or groups in a medical/psychological sense.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.

Analysis of the sentence:
The sentence mentions "initiatives", "employment patterns", "work organisations", "benefits and problems of the initiative".
This aligns with sense 1: "a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure".
Sense 2 is about a person or group from a social, psychological, or medical point of view, which doesn't fit "initiatives" and "work organisations" as well as sense 1 does.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

In the sentence, "employment patterns" refers to the state of being employed or having a job (e.g., full-time, part-time, unemployment rates, etc.).
Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" fits "employment patterns" (patterns of being employed).
Sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid" - "occupation patterns" doesn't fit as well as "state of being employed".
Sense 3: "the act of giving someone a job" - doesn't fit "employment patterns".
Sense 4: "the act of using" - doesn't fit.

Let's look at "employment patterns". It usually refers to trends in employment (e.g., how many people are employed, types of employment contracts, etc.). This aligns with Sense 1: the state of being employed or having a job.

Wait, let's consider Sense 3. "work organisations" = organizations of employment / occupational organizations.
Is there another sense?
Sense 1: activity directed toward making or doing something.
Sense 3: the occupation for which you are paid. "employment patterns and work organisations" -> work here means employment.

Let's check WordNet for "work".
Sense 3: the occupation for which you are paid; "he is looking for employment"; "a lot of people are out of work"
In "work organisations", it means organizations related to employment/occupation.

Let's double check.
"employment patterns and work organisations"
"work" modifies "organisations". It means organizations where work (employment/occupation) takes place, or organizations related to employment.
Sense 3 fits best.

Let's review the options.
1. activity directed toward making or doing something
2. a product produced or accomplished
3. the occupation for which you are paid
4. applying the mind to learning
5. physics
6. a place where work is done
7. total output of a writer

"work organisations" -> organizations of employment. Sense 3 is the most appropriate.
Let's consider Sense 3. "employment patterns and work organisations". "work" is used as a noun adjunct here, meaning "employment" or "occupation".
Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct answer.

2. definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
3. definition=a source of difficulty | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job

In the sentence, "benefits and problems of the initiative" refers to the difficulties or negative aspects (sources of difficulty) associated with the initiative.
Let's look at the senses:
Sense 1: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved. (e.g., having problems)
Sense 2: a question raised for consideration or solution. (e.g., math problems)
Sense 3: a source of difficulty. (e.g., one trouble after another)

Wait, "problems of the initiative" could be "a source of difficulty" or "a state of difficulty".
Let's consider WordNet senses for "problem":
1. a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved ("she and her husband are having problems")
2. a question raised for consideration or solution ("our homework consisted of ten problems to solve")
3. a source of difficulty ("one trouble after another delayed the job")

In the sentence, "assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative."
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"problems of the initiative" -> the initiative has problems (difficulties).
Let's search for similar examples. "benefits and problems" usually refers to the difficulties or issues (state of difficulty or source of difficulty).
Actually, "problems" as in "difficulties" is often sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the exact WordNet definitions.
WordNet 3.1:
problem n
1. a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved; "she and her husband are having problems"
2. a question raised for consideration or solution; "our homework consisted of ten problems to solve"
3. a source of difficulty; "one trouble after another delayed the job"

"assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative"
The initiative has problems (difficulties). This matches "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" or "a source of difficulty".
Let's consider "problems of the initiative". The initiative is the source of difficulty? Or the initiative has a state of difficulty?
Usually, "problems" in this context (benefits and problems) means "difficulties" or "issues".
Let's check the examples. "she and her husband are having problems" -> state of difficulty.
"one trouble after another delayed the job" -> source of difficulty.
If the initiative has problems, it means there are difficulties associated with it.
Could it be sense 1? "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
Or sense 3? "a source of difficulty"
Let's search for "benefits and problems".
"assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative"
In WordNet, "problem" sense 1 is "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved".
Sense 3 is "a source of difficulty".
If I say "the problems of the initiative", it means the difficulties of the initiative.
Let's look at similar sentences in corpora. "problems of the initiative" -> difficulties.
I will guess sense 1, as "problems" here means difficulties or issues.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative."
Is it sense 1? Yes, "problems" = difficulties.
Let's consider if it's sense 1. "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved".
Let's consider sense 3. "a source of difficulty".
If the initiative is the source of difficulty, then "problems of the initiative" might be sense 3? No, "problems" are the difficulties themselves.
I'll go with 1.
Let's double check.
"she and her husband are having problems" -> state of difficulty.
"assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative" -> difficulties.
I will output 1.
Wait, let's think if "problems" could be sense 1. Yes.
Let's output 1.

Let's double check. "Visits and interviews with key personnel" - this is typical of an official visit, like an audit, inspection, or evaluation.
Sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Let's review the senses:
1. short time visit (dropped by)
2. meeting for treatment/advice (doctor/lawyer)
3. official capacity (inspection)

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "These <t>national</t> studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
The word "national" modifies "studies".
The studies are conducted at the level of a nation (or multiple nations, but each study is national, as opposed to European).
Let's look at the senses:
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country
2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country
4. owned or maintained for the public by the national government
5. inside the country
6. characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation
7. of or relating to nationality

"national studies" -> studies that are concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country (e.g., national studies, national survey).
Wait, "national studies" could be sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country".
Let's check sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
Let's check sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country". Examples: "the national government".
Is it 3? "national studies" = studies applicable to an entire nation.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "national":
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country ("national hero")
2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation ("national interests")
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country ("the national government")
4. owned or maintained for the public by the national government ("national parks")
5. inside the country ("the British Home Office...")
6. characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation ("a national trait")
7. of or relating to nationality ("national origin")

"national studies" -> studies that are applicable to an entire nation or country.
Wait, "national studies" could be sense 3.
Let's search for "national studies" in WordNet or similar.
Actually, "national" modifying "studies" means the studies cover the entire nation.
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country"
Let's see: "national studies" -> studies that are applicable to an entire nation.
Could it be 3? Yes.
Let's double check.
"national studies" -> studies of the nation? No, studies conducted at the national level.
"concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" fits "national studies" (e.g., a national study).
Let's choose 3.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
Is there a difference between 1 and 3?
1: "national hero"
3: "the national government", "national study"
Yes, "national study" is a study applicable to an entire nation.
I will go with 3.
Let's review the sentence: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
The studies are at the national level, as opposed to the European level. So they are applicable to an entire nation or country.
Sense 3 is the best fit.
Another option: 1. But 3 specifically says "applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country", which perfectly matches "national studies" (studies covering the whole country).
I'll output 3.

6. definition=establish or impress firmly in the mind | examples=We imprint our ideas onto our children
7. definition=assume a form or shape | examples=the water formed little beads

In the sentence, "form" means to constitute, compose, or represent. "These national studies will form the basis..." -> they will compose or represent the basis.
Sense 2: "to compose or represent:" matches this perfectly. "This wall forms the background..." -> "These studies form the basis..."

Let's double check.
"form the basis" = compose the basis, represent the basis.
Sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's review the options.
1. create (as an entity) - no, the studies don't create the basis, they *are* the basis.
2. to compose or represent - yes, they compose the basis.
3. develop into - no.
4. give shape or form to - no.
5. make something - no.
6. establish or impress firmly - no.
7. assume a form or shape - no.

2. definition=the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained | examples=the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture
3. definition=the most important or necessary part of something | examples=the basis of this drink is orange juice

Let's analyze the sentence: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report..."
The national studies are the fundamental assumptions or foundation from which the European report is developed or explained.
Wait, let's look at the definitions.
Sense 1: a relation that provides the foundation for something. (e.g., friendly footing)
Sense 2: the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained. (e.g., argument rested on a basis of conjecture)
Sense 3: the most important or necessary part of something. (e.g., basis of this drink is orange juice)

In the sentence, the national studies are the foundation or fundamental assumptions from which the European report is developed.
"form the basis of a European report" -> the report is developed from these studies.
Sense 2 fits best: "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained". The report is developed from the national studies.

Let's check Sense 1: "a relation that provides the foundation for something". "friendly footing" is a relation. "national studies" are not a relation.
Sense 2: "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed..." The studies are the fundamental assumptions/data from which the report is developed.
Sense 3: "the most important or necessary part of something". The studies are not a part of the report, they are the foundation from which it is developed.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check.
"form the basis of" -> "developed from".
Yes, Sense 2.
Number: 2.

In the sentence, "European report" refers to a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (synthesising overall practices based on national studies).
This matches sense 1.

Let's double check.
"European report" -> a written document describing findings.
Sense 1 fits perfectly.
Sense 2 is verbal.
Sense 3 is news.
Sense 4 is sound.
Sense 5 is student evaluation.
Sense 6 is essay.

Which numbered sense of "overall" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises <t>overall</t> practices.

1. definition=involving only main features | examples=the overall pattern of his life

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "overall" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises <t>overall</t> practices."
Senses:
1. involving only main features (e.g., the overall pattern of his life)
2. including everything (e.g., the overall cost)

In the sentence, "overall practices" refers to practices in general, encompassing everything, or the general/comprehensive practices across the national studies.
Wait, "overall practices" means practices as a whole, including everything.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: involving only main features (the overall pattern of his life)
Sense 2: including everything (the overall cost)

"synthesises overall practices" -> synthesises practices as a whole, including everything.
Wait, "overall" modifying "practices" means "general" or "comprehensive", which aligns with "including everything" or "involving only main features"?
Actually, "overall" in "overall practices" means "general" or "comprehensive", which is closer to "including everything" (i.e., all practices).
Let's consider "overall" as an adjective.
Sense 1: involving only main features (general, broad)
Sense 2: including everything (total, comprehensive)

"synthesises overall practices" -> synthesises the practices as a whole, i.e., including everything.
Let's search for similar examples. "overall practices" -> practices in general, encompassing all.
"including everything" fits "overall practices" better than "involving only main features".
Wait, "overall" meaning "including everything" is often used for totals (overall cost, overall score).
"overall" meaning "involving only main features" is used for general patterns, views, etc. (overall pattern, overall impression).
"overall practices" -> general practices? Or comprehensive practices?
"synthesises overall practices" -> synthesises practices as a whole.
Let's look at the phrasing: "synthesises overall practices". This means it brings together all the practices to form a comprehensive view. So "including everything" (Sense 2).
Let's re-read carefully: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
If it synthesises practices, it's combining them into a whole. So "including everything" makes sense.
Let's consider Sense 1: "involving only main features". Does "overall practices" mean "main practices"? No, it means practices as a whole.
Therefore, Sense 2 is more appropriate.

Let's double check.
"overall" (adjective)
1. including everything: the overall cost
2. involving only main features: the overall pattern of his life

"overall practices" -> practices as a whole, i.e., including everything.
I will go with 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "overall practices" = general practices.
But "synthesises" implies bringing together all parts into a whole. So "including everything" fits the context of synthesis.
I'll output 2.
Let's think if "overall" here means "general" (Sense 1) or "comprehensive/all-encompassing" (Sense 2).
"synthesises overall practices" -> synthesises the practices of all the national studies, i.e., including everything.
Yes, 2.

4. definition=the exercise of a profession | examples=the practice of the law
5. definition=knowledge of how something is usually done | examples=it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner

In the sentence, "synthesises overall practices" refers to customary ways of operation or behavior in different nations, which are being synthesized into a report.
Sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior" fits perfectly. "practices" here means the customary ways of doing things (e.g., in education, healthcare, etc., depending on the context of the studies).
Sense 5: "knowledge of how something is usually done" is close, but "practices" as plural usually refers to the actual customary ways of operation or behavior, not just the knowledge. Let's re-read Sense 1 and 5.
Sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior" -> "synthesises overall practices" (customary ways of operation).
Sense 5: "knowledge of how something is usually done" -> "it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner".

Wait, "practices" in "synthesises overall practices" refers to the actual methods, procedures, or customary ways of operation.
Let's check WordNet for "practice".
Sense 1: a customary way of operation or behavior. "it is their practice to give annual raises"
Sense 5: knowledge of how something is usually done. "it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner"

In the sentence, "synthesises overall practices" means synthesizing the customary ways of operation or behavior across different nations.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"synthesises overall practices" -> synthesizes the customary ways of operation or behavior.
Yes, Sense 1.

Sense 1 matches this perfectly: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group".

Sense 1: put into print.
Sense 2: prepare and issue for public distribution or sale.
Sense 3: have (one's written work) issued for publication.

"The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996"
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"put into print" vs "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale".
Actually, WordNet has:
publish (v)
1. put into print (e.g., The newspaper published the news of the royal couple's divorce)
2. prepare and issue for public distribution or sale (e.g., publish a magazine or newspaper)
3. have (one's written work) issued for publication (e.g., How many books did Georges Simenon write?)

In the sentence, "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996".
This is passive. "will be published".
Is it sense 1? "put into print".
Let's search for similar examples. "The report will be published in 1996".
Usually, "publish" in the sense of "put into print" applies to news, reports, etc.
Wait, "put into print" is sense 1.
Let's consider "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale" (sense 2).
Let's consider "have (one's written work) issued for publication" (sense 3).

Let's look at the subject: "The report and a casebook of initiatives".
If it's "put into print", it fits "The newspaper published the news...".
If it's "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale", it fits "publish a magazine or newspaper".
If it's "have (one's written work) issued for publication", it fits "How many books did Georges Simenon write?".

Wait, "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996"
Could it be sense 1? "put into print".
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
publish
1. put into print; "The newspaper published the news of the royal couple's divorce"
2. prepare and issue for public distribution or sale; "publish a magazine or newspaper"
3. have (one's written work) issued for publication; "How many books did Georges Simenon write?"

In the sentence, "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996".
Is it sense 1? Yes, "put into print" is often used for reports, articles, etc.
Wait, let's think if "put into print" is the best fit.
"published in 1996" -> put into print in 1996.
Let's search for "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996".
This is from a corpus, probably SemCor or similar.
In SemCor, "published" might be mapped to a specific WordNet sense.
Let's consider the phrase "will be published".
If the subject is "The report and a casebook", they are being put into print.
Sense 1: put into print.
Let's guess 1.

Wait, another option: "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale".
But "put into print" is very common for "report".
Let's look at the example for sense 1: "The newspaper published the news of the royal couple's divorce".
Example for sense 2: "publish a magazine or newspaper".
Example for sense 3: "How many books did Georges Simenon write?"

If the sentence is "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996", it means they will be put into print.
I will go with 1.
