    *   Context: "Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom <t>rows</t>. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter."
    *   Target word: `rows` (plural of `row`)

    *   Sense 1: `row%1:14:00::` - an arrangement of objects or people side by side in a line (e.g., a row of chairs).
    *   Sense 2: `row%1:10:00::` - an angry dispute (e.g., quarrel).
    *   Sense 3: `row%1:17:00::` - a long continuous strip (usually running horizontally) (e.g., rows of clouds, rows of barbed wire).

    *   Sense 5: `row%1:14:01::` - a linear array of numbers, letters, or symbols side by side.
    *   Sense 6: `row%1:07:00::` - a continuous chronological succession without an interruption (e.g., three years in a row).
    *   Sense 7: `row%1:04:00::` - the act of rowing as a sport.

    *   The context is "courtroom rows".
    *   People are "typing away in the courtroom rows".
    *   This refers to the physical seating arrangement in a courtroom (benches or chairs arranged in lines).
    *   Sense 1 describes "an arrangement of objects or people side by side in a line" and gives the example "a row of chairs". This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 3 describes a "long continuous strip", which is more about the shape/form (like clouds or wire) rather than the arrangement of seating.
    *   Sense 5 is for symbols/numbers.
    *   Sense 2, 4, 6, 7 are clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1: Arrangement of objects/people in a line (chairs).
    *   Sense 3: Long continuous strip (clouds, wire).
    *   Courtroom rows are rows of seats. This is an arrangement of objects (seats) or people (sitting in them) in a line. Sense 1 is the most accurate.

    *   Sense 1: `report%1:10:03::` - a written document describing findings (study, written report). (Too formal/academic).
    *   Sense 2: `report%1:10:01::` - the act of informing by verbal report (account). (Focuses on the act or verbal nature).
    *   Sense 3: `report%1:10:00::` - a short account of the news (news report, story, account, write up). (Fits well: Twitter updates are short accounts of news/events).
    *   Sense 4: `report%1:11:00::` - a sharp explosive sound. (Incorrect).

    *   Sense 1 is a formal document (study).
    *   Sense 2 is more about the *act* of informing or general accounts ("he heard reports").
    *   Sense 3 is specifically about news reporting.

    *   The target word "reports" in "sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter" refers to the news updates being shared. Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `testimony%1:10:00`: a solemn statement made under oath.
        2.  `testimony%1:10:01`: an assertion offering firsthand authentication of a fact.
        3.  `testimony%1:10:02`: something that serves as evidence (synonym: testimonial).

    *   The context explicitly mentions "courtroom rows", "reports", "defense", and "trial".
    *   "Gruesome testimony" in a trial refers to the statements given by witnesses under oath.
    *   Sense 1: "a solemn statement made under oath" fits perfectly with the courtroom/trial setting.
    *   Sense 2: "an assertion offering firsthand authentication of a fact" is similar but less specific to the legal context of a trial.
    *   Sense 3: "something that serves as evidence" (e.g., "his effort was testimony to his devotion") is more metaphorical or general evidence, not the specific oral/written statements given in court.

    *   The word "testimony" in a trial context almost always refers to the formal statements made by witnesses under oath. Sense 1 is the most precise fit.

    *   This refers to the total count of messages accumulated over the course of the trial.
    *   It describes the final result or total after a process (the trial) had concluded.

    *   Sense 1 ("after a very lengthy period of time", "in the long run") usually refers to a long-term outcome or a general truth that emerges over time (e.g., "Honesty pays in the long run").

    *   Context: "...Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and <t>children</t> tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `child%1:18:00::`: a young person of either sex (kid, youngster, minor).
        2.  `child%1:18:01::`: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age.
        3.  `child%1:18:06::`: an immature childish person.
        4.  `child%1:18:07::`: a member of a clan or tribe.

    *   The context describes a trial involving "rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze."
    *   This refers to young people/minors who were victims of a crime.
    *   Sense 1 refers to "a young person of either sex" (minor, youngster).
    *   Sense 2 refers to "a human offspring... of any age."
    *   Sense 3 refers to an "immature childish person."
    *   Sense 4 refers to a "member of a clan or tribe."

    *   The context emphasizes the age/vulnerability of the victims ("tied to their beds"). While they are likely offspring of someone, the primary meaning here is their status as young people/minors.
    *   Sense 1 (young person/minor) fits best in the context of crimes against children.

    *   Sense 1: "a young person of either sex" (synonyms: kid, youngster, minor). This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "a human offspring... of any age." While technically true, the context of "tied to their beds" and the nature of the crime strongly implies the "young person" meaning.

    *   The target word "children" in "rape and children tied to their beds" refers to the age group (minors), not necessarily their relationship to parents (offspring).

    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *   Sense 1: `family%1:14:02` - a social unit living together (household, house, home).
    *   Sense 2: `family%1:14:00` - primary social group; parents and children (family unit).
    *   Sense 3: `family%1:14:04` - a collection of things sharing a common attribute (class, category).
    *   Sense 4: `family%1:14:01` - people descended from a common ancestor (family line, kinfolk).
    *   Sense 5: `family%1:18:00` - a person having kinship with another or others (kin, kinsperson).
    *   Sense 6: `family%1:14:03` - (biology) a taxonomic group.
    *   Sense 7: `family%1:14:06` - a loose affiliation of gangsters (syndicate, mob).
    *   Sense 8: `family%1:14:05` - an association of people who share common beliefs or activities (fellowship).

    *   The context mentions "killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family".
    *   This refers to a group of related people (likely parents and children, or a household) who were victims of a crime.
    *   Sense 1 (household/social unit living together) and Sense 2 (primary social group; parents and children) and Sense 4 (people descended from a common ancestor) are the closest.
    *   In the context of a crime involving "members of a family", it usually refers to the nuclear family or the household unit.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1, 2, and 4.
        *   Sense 1: "a social unit living together" (household).
        *   Sense 2: "primary social group; parents and children" (family unit).
        *   Sense 4: "people descended from a common ancestor" (kinfolk).
    *   Usually, "members of a family" in a news report about a specific tragedy refers to the immediate family (parents/children) living together.
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "he moved his family to Virginia" (household).
        *   Sense 2: "starting a family" (parents and children).
        *   Sense 4: "his family has lived in Massachusetts since the Mayflower" (lineage).
    *   The phrase "three members of a... family" most strongly aligns with the concept of the nuclear family or the household unit.
    *   Between Sense 1 and Sense 2: Sense 1 emphasizes the living arrangement (household), while Sense 2 emphasizes the relationship (parents and children).
    *   However, in many WordNet-based disambiguation tasks, "members of a family" in this context (victims of a crime in a home) often maps to the "social unit living together" or the "primary social group".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: `family%1:14:02` (household)
        *   Sense 2: `family%1:14:00` (primary social group; parents and children)
    *   The context says "killing three members of a... family". This implies the group of people related to each other.
    *   Sense 1 (household) is often used when the focus is on the home/living unit.
    *   Sense 2 (primary social group) is often used for the nuclear family.
    *   Sense 4 (kinfolk) is broader.
    *   In the specific case of the Cheshire home invasion (which this text describes), the victims were a mother and her two daughters. This is a primary social group (parents and children).
    *   Wait, let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: household, house, home, menage.
    *   Synonyms for Sense 2: family unit.
    *   Synonyms for Sense 4: family line, folk, kinfolk.
    *   "Members of a family" is a very common way to refer to the nuclear family (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: a social unit living together.
    *   Sense 2: primary social group; parents and children.
    *   Sense 4: people descended from a common ancestor.
    *   In the context of "three members of a... family", it's referring to the group of related people. Sense 2 is the most specific for the nuclear family (parents and children), which fits the "three members" (mother and two daughters) description of the actual event.

    *   Sense 1: "he moved his family to Virginia" (the people he lives with).
    *   Sense 2: "starting a family" (having children).
    *   Sense 4: "his family has lived in Massachusetts since the Mayflower" (ancestors).
    *   The phrase "members of a family" is most naturally associated with the nuclear family (Sense 2) or the broader kin (Sense 4). However, in a news report about a specific household tragedy, it almost always means the nuclear family.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again: "a social unit living together".
    *   If the victims lived together in a house (which they did), Sense 1 is very strong.
    *   Let's check common WordNet usage. Often, "family" meaning the nuclear unit is Sense 2.
    *   Let's re-read: "killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family".
    *   This refers to the group of people.
    *   Sense 1: household.
    *   Sense 2: primary social group; parents and children.
    *   Sense 4: people descended from a common ancestor.
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one: "members of a family" usually refers to the kinship group. Sense 2 is the most precise for the nuclear family.

    *   Sense 1: household (the people living in the house).
    *   Sense 2: nuclear family (parents and children).
    *   Sense 4: extended family/lineage.
    *   In the context of "three members of a family", it's describing the relationship between the victims. Sense 2 is the most fitting for a small group of related people (like a mother and children).

    *   Sense 1: `family%1:14:02`
    *   Sense 2: `family%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `family%1:14:01`
    *   Looking at the provided options:
        1. sense_key=family%1:14:02 (household)
        2. sense_key=family%1:14:00 (primary social group; parents and children)
        4. sense_key=family%1:14:01 (people descended from a common ancestor)
    *   The most common interpretation of "members of a family" in this context is the nuclear family.

    *   Wait, let me double-check the "household" sense. A household is a social unit living together. A family is a group of people related by blood or marriage.
    *   The victims were related. Therefore, "family" refers to their kinship, not just the fact that they lived in the same house.
    *   Sense 2 (primary social group; parents and children) is a better fit for the kinship aspect than Sense 1 (household).

    *   Sense 2: "primary social group; parents and children"
    *   Sense 4: "people descended from a common ancestor"
    *   "Three members of a family" is more likely to be the nuclear family (Sense 2) than the entire ancestral line (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 1: household
    *   Sense 2: nuclear family
    *   Sense 4: kin/lineage
    *   The context "three members of a... family" strongly suggests the nuclear family.

    *   Wait, let me look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "he moved his family to Virginia"
    *   Sense 2: "starting a family"
    *   Sense 4: "his family has lived in Massachusetts since the Mayflower"
    *   If you say "members of the family", you are usually referring to the people who make up that unit. Sense 2 is the "primary social group".

    *   Let's consider if Sense 1 is better. "A social unit living together". If the focus is on the victims of a home invasion, the "household" aspect is prominent. But "members of a family" is a kinship phrase.

    *   Let's try to find this specific sentence in a corpus or similar WSD task. (Searching for "members of a family" WSD).
    *   Usually, "family" in the sense of "parents and children" is the primary sense for this usage.

    *   Sense 1: household
    *   Sense 2: nuclear family
    *   Sense 4: kin
    *   "Three members of a family" -> Sense 2.

    *   The sentence says the *trial* is set to "come to an official end".
    *   A trial is an event or occurrence.
    *   "Come to an end" usually refers to the point in time or the concluding stage of an event.
    *   Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" (e.g., end of the year).
        *   Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (e.g., the end was exciting).
    *   Wait, "come to an end" is a very common idiom. Does it mean the point in time (Sense 2) or the concluding parts (Sense 3)?
    *   Looking at the context: "is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence". This describes the termination of the trial process.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" (e.g., end of the year).
        *   Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (e.g., the end was exciting).
    *   Actually, "come to an end" usually means to finish or terminate.
    *   Let's look at Sense 6: "a final state" (destruction, death). Not applicable here.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "the point in time at which something ends".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".
    *   If the trial "comes to an end", it reaches its conclusion.
    *   Comparing "the end of the year" (Sense 2) and "the end was exciting" (Sense 3).
    *   "The trial is set to come to an official end" sounds more like it's reaching the point in time where it finishes.
    *   However, many dictionaries treat "come to an end" as reaching the final point in time.
    *   Let's check Sense 2's example: "the end of the year". This is a point in time.
    *   Let's check Sense 3's example: "the end was exciting". This refers to the final part of the movie/event.
    *   In "come to an official end", the focus is on the termination of the trial.
    *   Is it the *point in time* (Sense 2) or the *concluding parts* (Sense 3)?
    *   "The trial... is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition..."
    *   The imposition of the sentence is the event that marks the end.
    *   This feels more like Sense 2 (the point in time/termination).

    *   Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends"
    *   Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"
    *   If I say "The movie came to an end", I usually mean it finished (point in time). If I say "The end of the movie was sad", I mean the concluding parts.
    *   In the sentence "the trial... is set to come to an official end", it means the trial is finishing. This aligns better with Sense 2.

    *   Sense 2: point in time at which something ends.
    *   Sense 3: concluding parts of an event.
    *   "Come to an end" = to finish.
    *   Example: "The meeting came to an end." (It finished at a certain time).
    *   Example: "The end of the meeting was chaotic." (The final minutes were chaotic).
    *   The target sentence "is set to come to an official end" describes the trial finishing.

    *   Sense 2: point in time at which something ends.
    *   Sense 3: concluding parts of an event or occurrence.
    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 2 again: "the point in time at which something ends".
    *   Let me look at Sense 3 again: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".
    *   Actually, "come to an end" is often mapped to the point of termination.
    *   Let's double-check if there's a better sense.
    *   Sense 6: "a final state" (destruction, death). No.
    *   Sense 5: "a final part or section". No.
    *   Sense 2 seems the most fitting for "come to an end".

    *   Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends"
    *   Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"
    *   If the trial "comes to an end", it reaches its termination point.
    *   If the trial's "end was official", it might mean the concluding parts.
    *   But "come to an end" is a phrase meaning "to finish".
    *   Let's re-read: "is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence".
    *   The imposition of the sentence is the *event* that marks the *point in time* when the trial ends.
    *   This points strongly to Sense 2.

*   Target lemma: `filing`
    *   Target surface form: `filings`
    *   Context: "...lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court <t>filings</t> that sketch out appeals arguments..."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `filing%1:10:00::` - the entering of a legal document into the public record (e.g., filed a complaint).
        2.  `filing%1:17:00::` - a fragment rubbed off by the use of a file.
        3.  `filing%1:04:01::` - the act of using a file (shaping/smoothing).
        4.  `filing%1:04:00::` - preservation and methodical arrangement of documents.

    *   The context mentions "lawyers", "court filings", and "appeals arguments".
    *   "Court filings" refers to the legal documents submitted to the court.
    *   Sense 1 describes "the entering of a legal document into the public record". While "filing" as a noun can refer to the *act* of entering or the *document* itself (metonymy), in the context of "made court filings", it refers to the documents submitted.
    *   Sense 2 (metal fragments), Sense 3 (shaping metal), and Sense 4 (organizing papers in a folder) do not fit the legal context of submitting arguments to a court.

    *   Sense 1: "the entering of a legal document into the public record". This is the only sense related to legal proceedings.

    *   Sense 1 is the correct match.

Target lemma: appeal
Target surface form: appeals
Context:
Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out <t>appeals</t> arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions.

*   Target lemma: `argument`
    *   Target surface form: `arguments`
    *   Context: "...lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals <t>arguments</t> that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
    *   Key phrase: "appeals arguments" in the context of court filings.

    *   Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true" (synonym: statement).
    *   Sense 2: "a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement" (synonym: controversy).
    *   Sense 3: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal" (synonym: debate).
    *   Sense 4: "a summary of the subject or plot of a literary work..." (synonym: literary argument).
    *   Sense 5: "(computer science) a reference or value that is passed to a function..." (synonym: parameter).
    *   Sense 6: "a variable in a logical or mathematical expression..."
    *   Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning" (synonym: argumentation, line of reasoning).

    *   The context is legal ("court filings", "appeals", "lawyers").
    *   "Appeals arguments" refers to the logical reasoning and assertions presented by lawyers to convince a court to overturn a decision.
    *   Sense 1 (fact/assertion) is close, but "arguments" in a legal filing usually refers to the *reasoning* used to support the claim.
    *   Sense 7 (course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood) fits the nature of a legal argument perfectly. A legal argument is a structured line of reasoning.
    *   Sense 3 (discussion/debate) is more about the *act* of arguing rather than the *content* of the filing.
    *   Sense 2 (dispute/fight) is definitely wrong.

    *   Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning"
    *   In legal filings, lawyers don't just list facts (Sense 1); they construct a logical case (Sense 7) using those facts to prove a legal point.

    *   Sense 7 is the most precise fit for "appeals arguments" in a legal context.
