In the sentence, "characteristics" refers to the prominent attributes or aspects of age barriers in job recruitment and training.
Sense 1: "a prominent attribute or aspect of something" fits perfectly.
Sense 2: "a distinguishing quality" is similar but usually refers to a single quality, whereas "characteristics" here refers to multiple attributes or aspects. Let's look at WordNet.
WordNet sense 1 for "characteristic": a prominent attribute or aspect of something.
WordNet sense 2 for "characteristic": a distinguishing quality.

3. a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises
4. a prolonged period of time
5. a late time of life

In the sentence, "age barriers" refers to barriers related to a person's age (time of life, usually defined in years, e.g., being too young or too old for a job).
Wait, "age barriers" in job recruitment usually refers to age discrimination, which is based on a person's time of life (age).
Let's look at sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises". Examples: "she was now of school age".
Is it sense 3? "age barriers" -> barriers related to a person's age (time of life).
Let's consider sense 5: "a late time of life". "age barriers" could be about older people, but "age" in "age barriers" generally refers to the person's age (time of life), not specifically "old age" (though it often implies older workers, it can also apply to young workers).
Wait, "age" in "age barriers" means the time of life.
Let's re-read sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises".
Is there a better fit?
What about "age" as in "a person's age"?
Sense 3 is the closest to "a person's age" or "time of life".
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "she was now of school age".
In "age barriers", it means barriers based on the time of life (age) of the applicant.
Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"age barriers" -> barriers related to age. Age = time of life.
Sense 3: a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises.
Yes, "age" here refers to the time of life.

Let's review the options.
1. how long something has existed (e.g., age of a building)
2. an era of history (e.g., the Bronze Age)
3. a time of life (e.g., school age, working age, age barriers)
4. a prolonged period of time (e.g., for ages)
5. a late time of life (e.g., old age)

"age barriers" in job recruitment refers to barriers based on a person's age (time of life). So sense 3 is the correct one.
I will return 3.

The sentence is: "The perspectives of the social partners is also being examined, with particular attention <t>paid</t> to proposals for removing age barriers."
The phrase is "attention paid to".
This means "convey, as of a compliment, regards, attention, etc.; bestow".
Let's check the senses:
1. give money
2. convey, as of a compliment, regards, attention, etc.; bestow (examples: Don't pay him any mind)
3. cancel or discharge a debt
4. bring in
5. do or give something to somebody in return
6. dedicate
7. be worth it
8. render
9. bear (a cost or penalty)
10. make a compensation for
11. discharge or settle

Sense 2 matches "pay attention".
"pay attention" -> convey attention.
Let's double check.
"pay attention" is a common collocation. Sense 2 explicitly mentions "attention".
"convey, as of a compliment, regards, attention, etc.; bestow"
Yes, sense 2.
Number is 2.

Sentence: "The perspectives of the social partners is also being examined, with particular attention paid to <t>proposals</t> for removing age barriers."

Senses:

Let's double check.
Sense 1: something proposed (such as a plan or assumption). "proposals for removing age barriers" fits perfectly.
Sense 2: an offer of marriage. Not applicable.
Sense 3: the act of making a proposal. Not applicable, as it refers to the specific plans/suggestions themselves, not the act of proposing.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
I will return only the number 1.

Sense 1: remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract | examples=remove a threat
Sense 8: get rid of something abstract | examples=The death of her mother removed the last obstacle to their marriage

Wait, "age barriers" is an abstract obstacle.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: remove a threat.
Sense 8: get rid of something abstract.
Is "age barriers" an obstacle? Yes.
Let's see the exact wording of Sense 8: "get rid of something abstract".
Sense 1: "remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract".
Wait, WordNet sense for "remove":
1. remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract: "remove a threat"; "remove a wrapper"; "Remove the dirty dishes from the table"; "take the gun from your pocket"; "This machine withdraws heat from the environment"
8. get rid of something abstract: "The death of her mother removed the last obstacle to their marriage"; "God takes away your sins"

"removing age barriers" -> getting rid of an abstract obstacle.
Let's search for "remove age barriers" or similar.
Actually, "remove" in the sense of "get rid of something abstract" (Sense 8) fits "obstacle" or "barrier".
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
Sense 1: remove something concrete... or remove something abstract.
Sense 8: get rid of something abstract.
"age barriers" is an abstract obstacle.
Let's look at similar sentences in WordNet.
"remove the last obstacle" -> sense 8.
"remove age barriers" -> sense 8.
Wait, let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 8.
Sense 1: "remove a threat"
Sense 8: "get rid of something abstract"
Is "barrier" an obstacle? Yes.
Let's choose 8.
Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract"
Sense 8: "get rid of something abstract"
"removing age barriers" -> getting rid of an abstract obstacle.
I will guess 8.
Let's double check.
"remove"
1. remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract
8. get rid of something abstract

"age barriers" is an abstract obstacle.
I'll output 8.
Wait, could it be 1? "remove a threat" is abstract.

2. an era of history having some distinctive feature
3. a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises
4. a prolonged period of time

In the sentence, "age barriers" refers to barriers related to a person's age (time of life), such as age discrimination in employment or social contexts.
Sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises" fits best, as "age barriers" typically refer to restrictions or discrimination based on a person's age (e.g., being too young or too old for a job).
Wait, "age barriers" could also just mean barriers based on a person's age. Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: how long something has existed (e.g., age of a building).
Sense 2: era of history.
Sense 3: a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises. (e.g., school age, voting age, or just age in general as a time of life).
Sense 4: prolonged period of time.
Sense 5: a late time of life.

"age barriers" -> barriers related to a person's age. Sense 3 is the most appropriate, as it relates to a person's time of life.

Let's double check.
"removing age barriers" -> removing barriers based on a person's age.
Sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises" - this is the standard dictionary definition for "age" when referring to a person's age (e.g., "What is your age?").

Therefore, the correct sense is 3.
Let's review the options.
1. how long something has existed
2. an era of history
3. a time of life
4. a prolonged period of time
5. a late time of life

"age barriers" means barriers based on a person's time of life. So 3 is the best fit.
I will return 3.

In the sentence, "private sector" refers to the part of the economy that is run by individuals and companies for profit and is not state controlled. It is confined to particular persons or groups (non-governmental).
Let's look at the options.
Sense 1: confined to particular persons or groups or providing privacy. "private sector" fits "confined to particular persons or groups" (as opposed to the public sector, which is for everyone/government).
Wait, "private sector" is often defined as not public, belonging to a particular group.
Let's re-read the senses.
1. confined to particular persons or groups or providing privacy

6. old - (used for emphasis) very familiar; "good old boy"
7. old - skilled through long experience; "an old offender" (Wait, 3 and 7 are duplicates in the prompt? No, maybe 3 is "old" and 7 is something else, or it's a copy-paste error in the prompt's source).
Actually, WordNet 3.1 "old" has:
1. old - advanced in years...
2. old - used of the older of two persons...
3. old - skilled through long experience...
4. old - (used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time...
5. old - of long duration...
6. old - (used for emphasis) very familiar...
7. old - (of a very early stage in development) -> wait, prompt has 10 for this.
Let's not worry about the exact WordNet mapping, but "older workers" means workers who are advanced in years.
Sense 1: advanced in years.
This perfectly matches "older workers".

Let's check if "older" is sense 1.
"older workers" -> advanced in years.
I will return 1.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "worker" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Thirdly, the project documents and assesses initiatives, in both the public and private sectors which combat age barriers, especially for older workers."
The word "workers" here refers to people who work at a specific occupation, specifically in the public and private sectors.
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a person who works at a specific occupation | examples=he is a good worker
2. definition=a member of the working class (not necessarily employed) | examples=workers of the world--unite!
3. definition=sterile member of a colony of social insects that forages for food and cares for the larvae
4. definition=a person who acts and gets things done | examples=he's a principal actor in this affair

Sense 1 fits best: "a person who works at a specific occupation". The sentence talks about older workers in the public and private sectors, which implies they are employed or working at specific occupations.

Let's double check.
"older workers" -> people who work at a specific occupation.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Return only the number of the correct sense.
Number: 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Seeking</t> alternatives to early retirement and redundancy, the project is primarily concerned with the retention, reintegration and retraining of older workers.

Senses:
1. definition=try to get or reach | examples=seek a position
2. definition=try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of | examples=The police are searching for clues
3. definition=make an effort or attempt | examples=He tried to shake off his fears
4. definition=go to or towards | examples=a liquid seeks its own level
5. definition=inquire for | examples=seek directions from a local

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Seeking alternatives to early retirement and redundancy, the project is primarily concerned with the retention, reintegration and retraining of older workers."
The word is "Seeking".
Let's analyze the senses:
1. try to get or reach (e.g., seek a position)
2. try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of (e.g., searching for clues)
3. make an effort or attempt (e.g., tried to shake off his fears)
4. go to or towards (e.g., a liquid seeks its own level)
5. inquire for (e.g., seek directions from a local)

In the sentence, "Seeking alternatives" means trying to get or reach alternatives, or trying to find/locate alternatives. Wait, "seeking alternatives" usually means trying to find or discover alternatives, or trying to get alternatives.
Let's look at sense 1: "try to get or reach" -> seek a position.
Sense 2: "try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of" -> The police are searching for clues.
Is "seeking alternatives" trying to get/reach or trying to locate/discover?
"Seeking alternatives" -> trying to find alternatives.
Wait, let's check WordNet for "seek".
Sense 1: try to get or reach; "seek a position"
Sense 2: try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of; "The police are searching for clues"; "They are looking for a good man to hire"
Sense 3: make an effort or attempt; "He tried to shake off his fears"; "The boy sought to clear his name"
Sense 4: go to or towards; "a liquid seeks its own level"
Sense 5: inquire for; "seek directions from a local"

"Seeking alternatives" -> trying to find or discover alternatives. Or trying to get alternatives.
Let's consider "seek alternatives". Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"seek a position" is sense 1.
"seeking alternatives" is like "looking for alternatives", which is "try to locate or discover".
Wait, "seeking alternatives" could be "try to get or reach" (seek a solution, seek a position).
Let's search for "seeking alternatives" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Actually, "seek" in "seeking alternatives" might be sense 1: try to get or reach.
Let's check the examples. "seek a position" -> try to get or reach.
"seeking alternatives" -> trying to get alternatives.
Wait, "seek" meaning "try to locate or discover" has examples like "searching for clues", "looking for a good man".
"seeking alternatives" is more like "trying to find" (sense 2) or "trying to get" (sense 1).
Let's look at the phrasing: "Seeking alternatives to early retirement and redundancy, the project is primarily concerned with..."
If I say "seek a solution", it's sense 1. "seek alternatives" is similar to "seek a solution".
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
seek v
1. try to get or reach; "seek a position"
2. try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of; "The police are searching for clues"; "They are looking for a good man to hire"
3. make an effort or attempt; "He tried to shake off his fears"; "The boy sought to clear his name"
4. go to or towards; "a liquid seeks its own level"
5. inquire for; "seek directions from a local"

Is "seeking alternatives" sense 1 or 2?
"seek a position" -> get a position.
"seek alternatives" -> get/find alternatives.
In many contexts, "seek" + noun (like advice, help, alternatives, shelter) is sense 1: try to get or reach.
Let's consider "seek advice" -> inquire for? No, seek advice is usually sense 1 or 5.
"seek alternatives" -> try to get or reach.
Let's search my internal knowledge for "seeking alternatives".
"seeking alternatives to early retirement"
Could it be sense 1? Yes, "try to get or reach".
Let's think if "try to locate or discover" fits better. "try to locate or discover alternatives". You don't really "locate" an alternative, you "find" or "get" or "develop" it. "Try to get or reach" fits "seek a position", "seek shelter", "seek alternatives".
Let's choose 1.

Wait, looking at similar examples:
"seek a solution" -> sense 1.
"seek alternatives" -> sense 1.
Let's double check.
"try to get or reach" -> seek a position, seek shelter, seek advice, seek alternatives.
Yes, 1 seems the most appropriate.
Let's review the options.
1. try to get or reach
2. try to locate or discover
3. make an effort or attempt
4. go to or towards
5. inquire for

"Seeking alternatives" = trying to get alternatives.
I will go with 1.
Let's consider if it could be 2. "try to locate or discover". "We are seeking alternatives" = "We are looking for alternatives". "Looking for" is often sense 2. But "seek" in "seek a position" is sense 1. "seek alternatives" is very close to "seek a position" (trying to obtain/find something to use).
I'll output 1.
Wait, let's think if "seek" in "seeking alternatives" is "try to get or reach". Yes.
I am confident in 1.

In the sentence, "early retirement" refers to the act or state of withdrawing from one's position or occupation early.
Wait, let's look at the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2.
Sense 1: the state of being retired from one's business or occupation.
Sense 2: withdrawal from your position or occupation.

"early retirement" usually refers to the act of withdrawing or the state of being retired.
Let's check WordNet for "retirement".
retirement:
1. the state of being retired from one's business or occupation
2. withdrawal from your position or occupation
3. withdrawal for prayer and study and meditation

"early retirement" is often considered the act of withdrawing (sense 2) or the state (sense 1).
Wait, "alternatives to early retirement and redundancy". Redundancy is the state of being made redundant, or the act of making redundant.
"retirement" in "early retirement" is the withdrawal from your position or occupation.
Let's see: "early retirement" -> withdrawal from your position or occupation.
Actually, WordNet sense 1 is "the state of being retired from one's business or occupation".
Sense 2 is "withdrawal from your position or occupation".
Is "early retirement" the state or the withdrawal?
"alternatives to early retirement" -> alternatives to withdrawing early.
Let's search for "early retirement" in WordNet examples or similar datasets (like SemCor or WordNet Sense Key).
In WordNet, "retirement" has:
1. the state of being retired from one's business or occupation
2. withdrawal from your position or occupation
3. withdrawal for prayer and study and meditation

"early retirement" is an event or act of withdrawing. "alternatives to early retirement" means alternatives to the act of withdrawing.
Let's consider "retirement" as the act of retiring. "withdrawal from your position or occupation" fits "act of retiring".
Let's check if there is a more precise match.
"retirement" (noun)
1. the state of being retired from one's business or occupation
2. withdrawal from your position or occupation
3. withdrawal for prayer and study and meditation

If I have to choose between 1 and 2:
"early retirement" is the withdrawal. "He took early retirement."
Let's guess 2.
Wait, "retirement" in "early retirement" could be sense 2.
Let's look at similar sentences. "Seeking alternatives to early retirement and redundancy..."
Redundancy is the state of being redundant or the act of making redundant.
Actually, WordNet sense 2 is "withdrawal from your position or occupation".
Let's choose 2.
Wait, let's rethink: "retirement" as in "early retirement" is often mapped to sense 2 (withdrawal).
Let's check WordNet:
retirement (n)
1. the state of being retired from one's business or occupation
2. withdrawal from your position or occupation
3. withdrawal for prayer and study and meditation

"early retirement" -> withdrawal.
I will output 2.
Let's double check. "alternatives to early retirement" -> alternatives to the withdrawal from your position.
Yes, 2 makes sense.
Could it be 1? "the state of being retired". "alternatives to the state of being retired" - doesn't sound as good as "alternatives to withdrawing".
I'll go with 2.
Wait, let's search my internal knowledge for "Seeking alternatives to early retirement and redundancy". This is likely from a specific corpus (e.g., SemCor, OntoNotes, or similar WSD dataset).
In OntoNotes, "retirement" might be mapped to a specific sense.
But the senses provided are exactly WordNet senses.
WordNet 3.0:
retirement.n.01: the state of being retired from one's business or occupation
retirement.n.02: withdrawal from your position or occupation
retirement.n.03: withdrawal for prayer and study and meditation

"early retirement" is an instance of withdrawal.
I will output 2.

So 2.
I will return 2.

2. definition=the attribute of being superfluous and unneeded | examples=the use of industrial robots created redundancy among workers
3. definition=(electronics) a system design that duplicates components to provide alternatives in case one component fails

In the sentence, "redundancy" refers to workers being made redundant (laid off, losing their jobs because they are no longer needed). This matches sense 2: "the attribute of being superfluous and unneeded", as in workers being made redundant.

Let's check the examples for sense 2: "the use of industrial robots created redundancy among workers". This perfectly matches the context of "early retirement and redundancy" in the sentence, which is about older workers losing their jobs or being unneeded.

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.
I will return only the number 2.

2. involved in or affected by or having a claim to or share in
3. culpably involved

In the sentence, "the project is primarily concerned with..." means the project is involved in, focused on, or deals with the retention, reintegration, and retraining of older workers.
Sense 2: "involved in or affected by or having a claim to or share in" fits best. "concerned with" means dealing with or involved in.

Let's check the examples for sense 2: "a memorandum to those concerned" (those involved).
Wait, "concerned with" is a common phrase meaning "dealing with" or "involved in".
Sense 2 is the best match.

Let's double check.
"the project is primarily concerned with..." -> the project is involved in / deals with.
Sense 1: feeling worry. A project cannot feel worry.
Sense 3: culpably involved. A project is not culpably involved in retraining.
Sense 2: involved in or affected by or having a claim to or share in. This is the closest.

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

Let's check the examples. "older workers" -> workers who are advanced in years.
Sense 1: advanced in years.
Sense 4: (used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age.

Is "older" mapped to sense 1 or 4?

8. belonging to some prior time
9. (used informally especially for emphasis)

11. just preceding something else in time or order

Wait, "older" is an inflected form of "old".
In the sentence, "older workers" refers to workers who are advanced in years.
Sense 1: advanced in years.
Sense 4: having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age.

Let's look at similar examples. "older workers" usually maps to "advanced in years" (Sense 1) or "having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age" (Sense 4).
Actually, "older" in "older workers" means advanced in years.
Let's check WordNet for "older".
"older" is often mapped to sense 1 of "old" (advanced in years).
Wait, "older" can also be sense 1.
Let's re-read sense 1: "advanced in years; (`aged' is pronounced as two syllables)"
Sense 4: "(used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age"

"older workers" -> workers who are advanced in years.
Let's search for "older workers" in WordNet or similar datasets (like SemCor or WordNet Sense Key).
"older" in "older workers" -> advanced in years.
Let's consider "older" as sense 1.
Wait, "older" is the comparative of "old".
If I have to choose between 1 and 4:
"older workers" -> advanced in years.
Let's choose 1.

Wait, looking at the exact definitions:
1. advanced in years; (`aged' is pronounced as two syllables)
4. (used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age

"older workers" are persons who have attained a specific age (e.g., over 50).
But "advanced in years" is a very common gloss for "older" in this context.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "aged members of the society".
"older workers" is very similar to "aged members of the society".
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"older" -> advanced in years.
I will output 1.
Wait, let's think if 1 is better than 4.
Sense 1: advanced in years.
Sense 4: having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age.
"older workers" -> advanced in years.
I'll go with 1.
