Target lemma: challenge
Target surface form: challenge
Context:
The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered. But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a <t>challenge</t> to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case.

*   Target lemma: `challenge`
    *   Target surface form: `challenge`
    *   Context: "They noted in a <t>challenge</t> to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut..."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses defense lawyers, a trial, a judge, jurors, the death penalty, and a verdict. The specific sentence refers to a "challenge to the verdict filed last month."

    *   Sense 1: "a demanding or stimulating situation" (e.g., challenge of Russian power) - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 2: "a call to engage in a contest or fight" - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3: "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation" (e.g., challenge of the assumption) - This is about questioning the validity or truth of something.
    *   Sense 4: "a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror" - The text mentions jury selection earlier, but *this* specific instance of "challenge" refers to a "challenge to the verdict," not a challenge to a juror.
    *   Sense 5: "a demand by a sentry for a password or identification" - Doesn't fit.

    *   The phrase is "challenge to the verdict."
    *   A "challenge to the verdict" in a legal context means questioning the legality or correctness of the court's decision (the verdict).
    *   Sense 3 ("questioning a statement and demanding an explanation") is the closest general meaning for questioning the validity of a decision or statement.
    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 4. Sense 4 is specifically about jurors. The text says "challenge to the verdict," not "challenge to the juror."
    *   Is there a better sense? Let's look at Sense 3 again: "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation." A verdict is a statement of the court. Challenging it is questioning its validity.

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: No.
    *   Sense 3: Questioning a statement/assumption. (Fits "challenge to the verdict").
    *   Sense 4: Objection to a juror. (Incorrect context here).
    *   Sense 5: No.

    *   The lawyers are filing a legal document (a "challenge") to contest the verdict. This is an act of questioning the validity of the verdict. Sense 3 is the best fit among the provided options.

    *   The context is heavily legal: "defense lawyers", "Judge", "jurors", "verdict", "trial".
    *   The sentence "the case dominated the news in Connecticut" refers to the legal proceeding (the trial of the crime involving Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters).
    *   Sense 3 ("a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 8 ("a problem requiring investigation") is often used for criminal cases, but in the context of a "verdict" and "trial", Sense 3 (the legal proceeding) is more precise. However, let's double-check Sense 3 vs Sense 8.
    *   Sense 3: "proceeding in a court of law".
    *   Sense 8: "problem requiring investigation" (like a detective solving a case).
    *   The text mentions "challenge to the verdict", "trial", and "defense lawyers". This is clearly about the legal proceeding.

    *   Sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" (lawsuit, suit, cause).
    *   Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation" (Perry Mason solved the case).
    *   While Sense 8 is common for criminal cases, Sense 3 is the standard term for the legal process/proceeding itself. In this context ("the case dominated the news"), it refers to the entire legal matter/trial.

    *   Wait, looking at Sense 3 again: "whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy". This often implies civil law (lawsuit).
    *   Looking at Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation". This is often used for criminal cases.
    *   Let's re-evaluate. Is there a better sense?
    *   Actually, in common usage, "the case" in a criminal trial refers to the legal proceeding.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "lawsuit, suit, cause, causa".
    *   Let's look at Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation".
    *   Is there another sense?
    *   Sense 1: "an occurrence of something". No.
    *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances". No.
    *   Sense 9: "a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument". No.
    *   In many WordNet versions, "case" as in a criminal trial is often mapped to the "legal proceeding" sense. Let's check if Sense 3 is the best fit despite the "legal remedy" part of the definition.
    *   In a criminal case, the state seeks a remedy (punishment/justice).
    *   Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 8: Sense 8 is more about the *mystery* or the *investigation* (e.g., "the case of the missing heir"). This text is about the *trial* and the *verdict*. Therefore, Sense 3 (the legal proceeding) is much more appropriate than Sense 8 (the investigation).

    *   Context: "challenge to the verdict", "the case dominated the news", "trial".
    *   Sense 3: "proceeding in a court of law".
    *   This is the most accurate description of a trial/legal matter.

    *   Sense 1: `information about recent and important events` (General information/tidings).
    *   Sense 2: `information reported in a newspaper or news magazine` (Specific to print/published media).
    *   Sense 3: `a program devoted to current events` (TV/Radio news program).
    *   Sense 4: `informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone` (Idiomatic: "it was news to me").
    *   Sense 5: `the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins` (Newsworthiness).

    *   The sentence says "the case dominated the news in Connecticut".
    *   This refers to the general flow of information about the trial across various media outlets (newspapers, TV, radio, etc.).
    *   Sense 1 is the most general: "information about recent and important events".
    *   Sense 2 is specific to newspapers/magazines.
    *   Sense 3 is specific to a program.
    *   Sense 4 is "it was news to me" (not applicable).
    *   Sense 5 is "newsworthiness" (the quality of being news).

    *   "Dominated the news" usually means the case was the primary subject of reporting.
    *   While Sense 2 mentions newspapers, "the news" in this context usually encompasses all forms of reporting (the "news media" mentioned in the next sentence).
    *   Sense 1 is the broad category of information about recent events.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "information about recent and important events"
        *   Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine"
    *   The text mentions "the news media" immediately after. "The news" here refers to the collective body of information being reported.
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "the news" (as in "the news is bad" or "dominated the news") maps to the general sense of information about recent events.

    *   Sense 1: General information about recent events.
    *   Sense 2: Specifically newspaper/magazine.
    *   Sense 3: Specifically a program.
    *   Sense 4: Surprise.
    *   Sense 5: Newsworthiness.

    "Dominated the news" fits best with Sense 1 (the general body of information about recent events).

    *Wait*, let me double-check Sense 2 again. "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
    If the context says "the news media", it implies a broader scope than just newspapers. Sense 1 is the most encompassing.

    Let's look at the examples:
    Sense 1: "they awaited news of the outcome"
    Sense 2: "the news of my death was greatly exaggerated" (This is often used for reports in general, but the definition says newspaper/magazine).

    Actually, looking at the context "dominated the news in Connecticut", it refers to the *coverage* or the *reports*. Sense 1 is the most fitting general term for the information being disseminated.

    Let's check if "the news" as a collective noun for reporting usually maps to Sense 1.
    Sense 1: information about recent and important events.
    Sense 2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.

    If I say "I saw it in the news", I might mean TV or paper. If I say "the case dominated the news", I mean the general flow of information. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at Sense 2 again. "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine". In some versions of WordNet, Sense 1 is the general concept and Sense 2 is the specific medium. Since the text mentions "news media" (plural/broad), Sense 1 is the safer, more inclusive choice.

    Wait, let me look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "they awaited news of the outcome". This is "tidings".
    Is "dominated the news" more like "tidings" or "reported information"?
    "Dominated the news" means it was the main story in the reports.
    Sense 1: information about recent and important events.
    Sense 2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.

    Actually, "the news" in "dominated the news" often refers to the *aggregate of reports*. Sense 1 covers this.

    Let's re-read Sense 5: "the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported". "The case dominated the news" does not mean "the case dominated the newsworthiness".

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "a program". "The case dominated the news" could mean the news programs, but it's broader than that.

    Comparing 1 and 2 again:
    1: information about recent and important events.
    2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.

    In the phrase "dominated the news", "the news" refers to the current events reporting. Sense 1 is the most general and fits best.

    *Wait*, let me think about "the news" as a collective noun for the reporting industry/output.
    "The news" = the reports of current events.
    Sense 1: "information about recent and important events".
    This matches perfectly.

    Final check:
    Context: "the case dominated the news in Connecticut"
    Sense 1: information about recent and important events.
    Sense 2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.
    Sense 3: a program.
    Sense 4: surprise.
    Sense 5: newsworthiness.

    Sense 1 is the best fit.

Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend.

    *   Sense 1: "the concentration of attention or energy on something" (Synonyms: focusing, focal point, direction, centering).

    *   Sense 7: "a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section" (Geometry).

    *   The sentence "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial" refers to the lawyers' concentration of attention or the specific point they are emphasizing in their challenge to the verdict.
    *   Sense 1 (concentration of attention) and Sense 5 (special emphasis) are the closest.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 5:
        *   Sense 1: "the concentration of attention or energy on something"
        *   Sense 5: "special emphasis attached to something" (Synonym: stress)
    *   In the context of a legal challenge, the lawyers are *concentrating their attention* or *placing emphasis* on the Twitter coverage as a reason for the verdict's invalidity.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology". This fits the pattern of a general area of attention.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 5: "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed". This fits the pattern of emphasizing one thing over another.
    *   In "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial," the lawyers are centering their argument on Twitter. This is a concentration of attention/effort on a specific point.
    *   Usually, "focus on [something]" in this context maps to the concentration of attention (Sense 1). Sense 5 is often used when talking about the *weight* given to something (stress).

    *   Sense 1: concentration of attention.
    *   Sense 5: special emphasis.
    *   "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" -> They are focusing their argument/attention on Twitter.
    *   If I say "The focus of the meeting was the budget," it's Sense 1.
    *   If I say "The focus was on accuracy," it's Sense 5.
    *   Here, "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" sounds more like the subject of their attention/argument.

    *   Sense 1: "the concentration of attention or energy on something"
    *   Sense 5: "special emphasis attached to something"
    *   In the context of a legal argument, focusing on a specific piece of evidence or a specific factor (Twitter coverage) is a concentration of attention/effort.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "the concentration of attention or energy on something".
    *   Sense 5: "special emphasis attached to something".
    *   If the lawyers are arguing that Twitter coverage was the main problem, they are placing special emphasis on it.
    *   However, "focus on [X]" is the quintessential expression for "concentration of attention on [X]".

    *   Let's re-read: "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial."
    *   This means the fact that they are concentrating their argument/attention on Twitter is what's controversial.
    *   Sense 1 seems the most general and fitting for "concentration of attention".

    *   Sense 1: concentration of attention.
    *   Sense 5: special emphasis.
    *   Often, these are very close. Let's check if there's a nuance. "Stress" (Sense 5) is often about the relative importance. "Concentration of attention" (Sense 1) is about where the gaze/mind is directed.
    *   The lawyers are directing their attention/argument toward the Twitter coverage.

    *   Sense 1: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology"
    *   Sense 5: "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed"
    *   "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" is more like "the focus of activity shifted" (the focus of their argument is Twitter) than "the stress was on accuracy" (though it's similar).

    *   Actually, looking at many WSD datasets, "focus on [topic]" usually maps to the "concentration of attention" sense.

    *   Sense 1: concentration of attention.
    *   Sense 5: special emphasis.
    *   If the sentence was "The focus of the argument was the Twitter coverage," it's definitely Sense 1.
    *   "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" is essentially the same.

    *   Sense 1: focus%1:09:00:: (concentration of attention)
    *   Sense 5: focus%1:26:00:: (Wait, the prompt says sense_key=focus%1:26:01:: for Sense 5).
    *   Let's re-verify the sense keys provided in the prompt:
        1. focus%1:09:00:: (concentration of attention)
        2. focus%1:07:01:: (optical clarity)
        3. focus%1:07:03:: (idea clarity)

        6. focus%1:19:00:: (convergence of light)
        7. focus%1:15:00:: (conic section)

    *   Comparing 1 and 5 again.
    *   Sense 1: "the concentration of attention or energy on something"
    *   Sense 5: "special emphasis attached to something"
    *   "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial."
    *   This means the *act* of concentrating their attention/argument on Twitter is controversial.
    *   Sense 1 is the most natural fit.

They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter <t>coverage</t> is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials.

    *   This clearly refers to the reporting of the trial by the media.

    *   Sense 1 (Insurance) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 2 (Extent of coverage) is too general and usually refers to scope (like a dictionary or a map).

    *   Sense 2 is too formal/specific (audience/consultation).

    *   The context describes journalists providing opinions during interviews. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

    *   Sense 4 (informal/unknown) doesn't fit the context of media reporting.
    *   Sense 5 (newsworthiness) doesn't fit; "instant news" isn't describing the *quality* of being interesting, but the information itself.

    *   The context is about the *speed* of information delivery ("instant news" vs "reports delivered more slowly"). This refers to the information itself (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "information about recent and important events"
    *   Example: "they awaited news of the outcome"
    *   This matches the usage of "instant news" (information about the trial delivered instantly).

    *   The sentence discusses a "claim" made by lawyers about the effect of instant news (Twitter) on a trial.
    *   Journalists describe this claim as a "Luddite view".
    *   "Luddite" refers to people opposed to new technology.

    *   Sense 5: "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty" (opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought)

    *   The context says "the claim... was a Luddite view".
    *   A "Luddite view" is a perspective or a way of regarding the impact of technology.
    *   Sense 1 (position, perspective) fits very well for a general ideological stance (like being a Luddite).
    *   Sense 5 (personal belief/judgment) also fits, but "Luddite view" describes a general ideological position/perspective rather than just a single personal opinion.

    *   Sense 1: "consider what follows from the positivist view" (Positivist view is an ideological perspective).
    *   Sense 5: "my opinion differs from yours" (Personal opinion).

    *   "Luddite view" is analogous to "positivist view". It's a conceptual framework or a way of regarding the situation.

    *   Sense 2 (courtroom) is too narrow (the physical room).
    *   Sense 1 (assembly) is more about the meeting/session.
    *   Sense 8 (lawcourt/court of law) is the institution.

    *   "court policy" -> policy of the law court/judicial system.

Context:
But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court <t>policy</t> governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts.
