And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the <t>players</t> did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

*   Target lemma: `application`
    *   Context: "...the players did not act in order to avoid the <t>application</t> of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
    *   Meaning: The act of putting a sanction (punishment/rule) into effect or enforcing it.

    *   Sense 1: `application%1:04:02::` - the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose (e.g., statistics to a problem).
    *   Sense 2: `application%1:10:00::` - a verbal or written request (e.g., job application).
    *   Sense 3: `application%1:04:03::` - the work of applying something (e.g., coating, iodine).

    *   Sense 7: `application%1:04:00::` - the action of putting something into operation (e.g., maximum thrust).

    *   The context is about a "sanction" (a penalty).
    *   "Avoid the application of the sanction" means avoiding the enforcement or the putting into operation of that penalty.
    *   Sense 7 ("the action of putting something into operation") fits best.
    *   Sense 1 ("bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose") is close, but Sense 7 is more about the operationalization/execution of a rule or force.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 7.
        *   Sense 1: "application of statistics to the problem" (using a tool/method).
        *   Sense 7: "application of maximum thrust" (putting into operation).
        *   Applying a sanction is putting the sanction into operation/effect.

    *   Sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation".
    *   Applying a law, a rule, or a sanction is putting it into operation.

    *   Sense 1: "bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose".
    *   Sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation".
    *   In legal/regulatory contexts, "application of the law" or "application of a sanction" usually refers to the act of putting it into effect (Sense 7).

    *   Sense 1: "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem" (using a method).
    *   Sense 7: "the application of maximum thrust" (activating/operating).
    *   "Avoid the application of the sanction" -> Avoid the sanction being put into operation/effect.

    *   Sense 7 is the most accurate for "putting into operation" (enforcing).

    *   Context: "...the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear <t>case</t> of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
    *   Meaning: The sentence is discussing whether the players' actions constitute "legal fraud." It's saying that if they had acted to avoid the sanction, that specific situation would be an *example* or *instance* of legal fraud.

    *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances". This is close, but "instance/example" (Sense 1) is a better fit for "a case of [category]".

*   Target lemma: `decision`
    *   Target surface form: `decision`
    *   Context: "They made a strategic <t>decision</t> without avoiding the punishment."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses players strategically choosing when to serve a sanction/suspension to gain a long-term advantage in a championship. It mentions "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

    *   Sense 1: `the act of making up your mind about something` (determination, conclusion).
    *   Sense 2: `a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration` (determination, conclusion).
    *   Sense 3: `(boxing) a victory won on points...`
    *   Sense 4: `the outcome of a game or contest`.
    *   Sense 5: `the trait of resoluteness...` (decisiveness).

    *   The sentence is "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
    *   The players *decided* (the act of choosing) when to obey the sanction.
    *   This is the process of making a choice or making up one's mind.

    *   Sense 1 (the act of making up your mind) vs. Sense 2 (the position/judgment reached).
    *   "They made a strategic decision" usually refers to the act of choosing (Sense 1) or the result of that choice (Sense 2).
    *   Looking at the synonyms: Sense 1 (determination, conclusion) and Sense 2 (determination, conclusion).
    *   Wait, let's look closer at the definitions.
        *   Sense 1: "the act of making up your mind about something"
        *   Sense 2: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration"
    *   In "They made a strategic decision," the "decision" is the choice they arrived at.
    *   However, "making a decision" is the standard idiom for the act of deciding.
    *   Let's re-read the context: "the players did not act in order to avoid... but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision..."
    *   This refers to the choice they made.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1 is the *act* of deciding.
        *   Sense 2 is the *result* (the judgment/position).
    *   In common usage, "making a decision" often blends these, but "a strategic decision" usually refers to the choice itself (the result of the process).
    *   Let's check the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "the burden of decision was his" (the act/responsibility of deciding).
        *   Sense 2: "a decision unfavorable to the opposition" (the result/judgment).
    *   "A strategic decision" is more like "a decision unfavorable to the opposition" (a specific choice/judgment) than "the burden of decision" (the act of deciding).
    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate. "They made a strategic decision" -> they reached a conclusion/judgment on how to proceed.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "the act of making up your mind".
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration".
    *   If they "made a decision", they performed the act (Sense 1) and arrived at a result (Sense 2).
    *   Usually, "a [adjective] decision" (like "strategic", "difficult", "wrong") refers to the result/judgment (Sense 2). "The decision to go" is the judgment reached.

    *   Sense 1: Act of deciding.
    *   Sense 2: The result of deciding.
    *   "They made a strategic decision."
    *   If I say "I made a mistake," the mistake is the result. If I say "I made a decision," the decision is the result of the process of deciding.
    *   Let's check WordNet's typical usage.
    *   Sense 1: `decision%1:04:00` (the act of making up your mind)
    *   Sense 2: `decision%1:09:00` (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration)
    *   In the context of "strategic decision," it's the choice they settled on. That fits "judgment reached after consideration" (Sense 2) better than the "act of making up your mind" (Sense 1).

    *   Wait, let me double-check. "The burden of decision" (Sense 1) vs "a decision unfavorable to the opposition" (Sense 2).
    *   "A strategic decision" is very similar to "a decision unfavorable to the opposition." It describes the *nature* of the choice made.

    *   Sense 1: Act of deciding.
    *   Sense 2: The choice/judgment itself.
    *   "They made a strategic decision." -> They reached a strategic judgment/choice.
    *   This points to Sense 2.

    *   The author is contrasting "wittiness" with "law fraud" (likely a translation of "fraude de ley" in Spanish, which refers to using a legal rule to achieve a result prohibited by the law or contrary to the purpose of the rule).
    *   In this context, "law" refers to the system of rules or the body of rules imposed by authority (the rules of the sport or the legal framework governing it).

    *   Sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority" fits best. "Law fraud" (fraude de ley) refers to manipulating the *collection of rules* (the law) to bypass the spirit of the law.
    *   Sense 2: "legal document" is too narrow.
    *   Sense 3: "natural law" is incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: "law of nature" is incorrect.
    *   Sense 5: "branch of philosophy" is incorrect.
    *   Sense 6: "learned profession" is incorrect.
    *   Sense 7: "police force" is incorrect.

    *   The phrase "law fraud" is a direct translation of "fraude de ley."
    *   "Fraude de ley" occurs when someone uses a legal rule (the law) to achieve an outcome that the law itself intended to prevent.
    *   This relates to the "collection of rules imposed by authority" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: `law%1:14:00` (the collection of rules imposed by authority).

Target lemma: fraud
Target surface form: fraud
Context:
But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment. Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness. The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them.

*   Target lemma: `fraud`
    *   Target surface form: `fraud`
    *   Context: The text discusses a sports situation where players strategically chose when to serve a suspension. The author argues that the players didn't act to avoid the sanction (which would be "legal fraud"), but rather chose when to obey it. The specific sentence is: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

    *   Sense 1: `fraud%1:04:00::` - intentional deception resulting in injury to another person. (Focuses on the *act* and the *injury*).
    *   Sense 2: `fraud%1:18:00::` - a person who makes deceitful pretenses. (Focuses on the *person*).
    *   Sense 3: `fraud%1:04:01::` - something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage. (Focuses on the *trickery/deception* to gain an advantage).

    *   The context mentions "legal fraud" and the "border between the wittiness and the law fraud".
    *   The author is contrasting "wittiness" (cleverness/strategic use of rules) with "fraud" (breaking the law/rules through deception).
    *   The discussion is about whether the players' actions were a strategic move (wittiness) or a deliberate attempt to deceive the system to gain an unfair advantage (fraud).
    *   Sense 2 (person) is incorrect because "the law fraud" refers to the act/concept, not a person.
    *   Sense 1 (injury to another person) is less fitting than Sense 3 because the focus is on the "deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage" (avoiding the sanction or manipulating the rules), rather than causing a specific injury to another person. In legal contexts, "fraud" often refers to the act of deception for gain.

    *   Sense 1: "intentional deception resulting in injury to another person"
    *   Sense 3: "something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage"
    *   The context says: "the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud)". Avoiding a sanction is gaining an advantage.
    *   Sense 3 fits the "gain an advantage" aspect perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: Injury to another.
    *   Sense 3: Gain an advantage.
    *   The context is about sporting rules and sanctions. Avoiding a sanction is a gain for the player/team.

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   The text discusses a specific situation involving sports rules, sanctions, and strategic decisions (auto-expulsions).
    *   The author is analyzing a specific instance or case: "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
    *   "In this occasion" here means "in this instance," "in this particular case," or "at this particular juncture/time."

    *   Sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time" (juncture). This fits the idea of a specific instance or a particular point in time/situation.
    *   Sense 2: "a vaguely specified social event" (party, function). Definitely not this.
    *   Sense 3: "reason". "In this reason" doesn't make sense.
    *   Sense 4: "the time of a particular event". "In the time of a particular event" is close, but usually used as "on the occasion of...".
    *   Sense 5: "an opportunity to do something". "In this opportunity" is not the standard usage here; it's referring to the case/instance being analyzed.

    *   The phrase "in this occasion" is often a slightly non-native way of saying "on this occasion" or "in this instance."
    *   Looking at the candidate senses again:
        *   Sense 1 (juncture/critical time) often refers to a specific point in a process or a particular instance.
        *   Sense 4 (the time of a particular event) is usually for celebrations or specific dates.
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate "instance". WordNet often maps "instance" or "particular case" to "occasion" in the sense of a specific time something happened.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "an event that occurs at a critical time". Example: "at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the time of a particular event". Example: "on the occasion of his 60th birthday".
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "an opportunity to do something".
    *   Actually, in many contexts, "on this occasion" means "this time" or "in this instance".
    *   Is there a better fit?
        *   Sense 1: Juncture.
        *   Sense 2: Social event.
        *   Sense 3: Reason.
        *   Sense 4: Time of a particular event.
        *   Sense 5: Opportunity.

    *   The author is talking about a specific case of "wittiness" vs "law fraud".
    *   "In this occasion" = "In this instance" / "In this case".
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4:
        *   Sense 1 (juncture) is more about a critical point.
        *   Sense 4 (the time of a particular event) is more about the specific occurrence.
    *   Wait, let's look at the WordNet hierarchy for "occasion".
        *   `occasion%1:11:00` (juncture)
        *   `occasion%1:11:01` (social event)
        *   `occasion%1:28:00` (time of a particular event)
    *   In the sentence "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness", the speaker is referring to the specific event/instance they just described.
    *   "On this occasion" usually maps to Sense 4 (the time of a particular event) or Sense 1 (juncture).
    *   However, "this occasion" referring to a specific instance of a situation is most closely aligned with the general meaning of "a particular time when something happens".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
    *   The context is a legal/sporting analysis of a specific event. "In this occasion" (likely meaning "on this occasion") refers to the specific instance being discussed.
    *   Between 1 and 4, 1 (juncture) feels slightly more like a "point in time/situation" and 4 feels more like a "celebration/anniversary".
    *   Actually, looking at common WSD datasets (like SemCor), "on this occasion" often maps to the sense of "a particular time when something happens".
    *   Let's check Sense 1 again: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
    *   Let's check Sense 4 again: "the time of a particular event".
    *   If the author means "In this instance", they are referring to the specific event.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave; it was needed only on special occasions".
    *   Wait, "special occasions" usually means Sense 2 (social events) or Sense 1? No, "special occasions" often means Sense 2. But the example "at such junctures" clearly points to Sense 1.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4: "on the occasion of his 60th birthday". This is a very specific type of "time of a particular event".
    *   Is it Sense 1? "In this occasion" -> "At this juncture". This fits the analytical tone of the text.

    *   "In this occasion" is likely a translation of "en esta ocasión" (Spanish) or similar, meaning "this time" or "in this instance".
    *   "This time" = "on this occasion".
    *   Which sense is "this time"?
    *   Sense 1: Juncture.
    *   Sense 4: The time of a particular event.
    *   Sense 5: Opportunity.
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one:
        *   Sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
        *   Sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
    *   The context is a specific case/instance. "In this occasion" = "In this instance".
    *   Looking at the provided senses, Sense 1 (juncture) is often used for "a particular point in time or event". Sense 4 is more about the *timing* or the *celebration* of the event.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 1's synonym: "juncture". A juncture is a particular point in events or time. This fits "in this instance" better than "the time of his 60th birthday".

    *   Sense 1: Juncture/Critical time.
    *   Sense 2: Social event.
    *   Sense 3: Reason.
    *   Sense 4: Time of a particular event.
    *   Sense 5: Opportunity.
    *   The sentence "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness" refers to the specific situation/instance.
    *   "Juncture" (Sense 1) fits the "particular point in a sequence of events" or "particular situation" meaning.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
    *   Is this a "critical time"? The author is analyzing a strategic decision. It's a specific instance.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the time of a particular event".
    *   Actually, "on this occasion" is a very common phrase. In most dictionaries, "on this occasion" means "this time".
    *   If "on this occasion" = "this time", which sense is that?
    *   Sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
    *   Let's compare:
        *   "On the occasion of the wedding" (Sense 4)
        *   "On this occasion, I will agree" (This time/In this instance).
    *   Is "this time" Sense 1 or Sense 4?
    *   Sense 1 is "juncture". "At this juncture" = "at this point in time".
    *   Sense 4 is "the time of a particular event".
    *   The context "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness" is referring to the *instance* itself.
    *   Let's try to see if "occasion" as "instance" is Sense 1.
    *   WordNet's `occasion%1:11:00` is "an event that occurs at a critical time".
    *   WordNet's `occasion%1:28:00` is "the time of a particular event".
    *   This is tricky. Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave".
    *   Sense 4: "on the occasion of his 60th birthday".
    *   The target sentence "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness" is more like "at this juncture" (Sense 1) than "on the occasion of his birthday" (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 1: Juncture.
    *   Sense 4: Time of a particular event.
    *   The author is discussing a specific case/instance. "In this occasion" = "In this instance".
    *   "Instance" is often synonymous with "occasion" in the sense of "a particular time when something happens".
    *   Looking at the options, Sense 1 (juncture) is the closest to "a particular point/instance in a situation".

    *   Wait, I just noticed Sense 1 says "an event that occurs at a critical time".
    *   Is the "occasion" here an "event"? Yes, the strategic decision to be expelled.
    *   Is it a "critical time"? In the context of the game and the sanctions, yes.
    *   Let's check Sense 4 again: "the time of a particular event". This is more about the *date* or *timing*.
    *   Let's check Sense 5: "an opportunity to do something". "In this opportunity" doesn't fit.
    *   Let's check Sense 3: "reason". "In this reason" doesn't fit.
    *   Let's check Sense 2: "social event". Doesn't fit.

    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most plausible.

    *   "In this occasion" (though grammatically "on this occasion" is more common) refers to the specific instance/case being discussed.
    *   Sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time" / "juncture".
    *   This matches the usage of referring to a specific point or instance in a series of events or a specific situation.

Target lemma: expulsion

Context:
So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment. Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness. The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto <t>expulsions</t> and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them. The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic.

    *   Key phrase: "because it was about two auto expulsions"

    *   Sense 1: `expulsion%1:04:01` - the act of forcing out someone or something (e.g., ejection of troublemakers, expulsion from school). Synonyms: ejection, exclusion, riddance.
    *   Sense 2: `expulsion%1:04:02` - squeezing out by applying pressure (e.g., toothpaste, pus). Synonym: extrusion.
    *   Sense 3: `expulsion%1:04:00` - the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting. Synonyms: projection, ejection, forcing out.

    *   The context is about sports and sanctions. In sports, an "expulsion" refers to a player being forced to leave the game (e.g., a red card in soccer).
    *   Sense 1 specifically mentions "forcing out someone" and gives examples like "ejection of troublemakers" and "expulsion from school." This fits the context of a player being removed from a game as a sanction.
    *   Sense 2 is about physical pressure (toothpaste), which is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 3 is a more general term for projecting or ejecting (like air or a projectile), which is less specific to the social/regulatory act of removing a person from a competition than Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1 is the most precise fit for a person being removed from a sporting event as a penalty.

    *   The text discusses "sporting spirit," "rules," "ethical" vs "aesthetic" damage.
    *   "Principles of the sport" refers to the fundamental values, standards, or basic truths that govern how the sport should be played or perceived.
    *   Sense 2 ("rule or standard especially of good behavior") fits well because it mentions "good behavior" and the context mentions "ethical" damage.
    *   Sense 3 ("basic truth or law or assumption") fits well because "principles of democracy" is similar to "principles of the sport" (fundamental tenets).
    *   Sense 1 ("basic generalization... basis for reasoning or conduct") is also close.
    *   Sense 5 ("rule of personal conduct") is too narrow (personal).
    *   Sense 4 and 6 are about natural laws or technical rationales, which don't fit.

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior". This aligns strongly with "sporting spirit" and "ethical" damage.
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption". This is more abstract.
    *   Comparing "principles of democracy" (Sense 3) and "a man of principle" (Sense 2). "Principles of the sport" feels more like the fundamental tenets/standards (Sense 3) or the standards of behavior (Sense 2).
    *   However, the text explicitly contrasts "ethical" and "aesthetic" damage. This suggests the "principles" being discussed are the standards of conduct or the fundamental values of the sport.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "a basic truth or law or assumption".
    *   In the phrase "principles of the sport", it usually refers to the fundamental values or the spirit of the game.
    *   If the damage is "ethical", it relates to standards of behavior.
    *   Wait, Sense 2 is often used for individual morality ("a man of principle").
    *   Sense 3 is used for systems ("principles of democracy"). Sport is a system of rules and values.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct".
    *   Actually, "principles of the sport" often refers to the fundamental tenets.

        *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
        *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   The context says "The damage brought about to the principles of the sport... is not as much ethical as aesthetic." This implies the principles *could* be ethical (standards of behavior), but in this case, the damage is aesthetic.
    *   If the principles are "standards of good behavior", Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 1: basis for reasoning or conduct.
    *   Sense 2: rule or standard of good behavior.
    *   Sense 3: basic truth or law or assumption.
    *   "Principles of the sport" are the fundamental standards/values.
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical usage:
        *   "Principles of democracy" (Sense 3) -> Fundamental tenets.
        *   "Principles of the sport" -> Fundamental tenets/standards.
    *   However, the mention of "ethical" strongly points toward "standards of behavior" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   If I say "the principles of the game", I usually mean the fundamental rules or the spirit of fair play. Fair play is a standard of good behavior.
    *   Let's check Sense 1 again: "a basic generalization... basis for reasoning or conduct".
    *   Between 2 and 3, Sense 2 is more specific to behavior/ethics, which is explicitly mentioned in the sentence ("not as much ethical as aesthetic").

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   "Principles of the sport" = the standards of behavior expected in the sport.
    *   This fits Sense 2 perfectly.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3. "Principles of democracy" are the basic truths/assumptions. "Principles of the sport" could be seen as the basic truths/assumptions of how the sport works. But the context is about "sporting spirit" and "ethical" damage. This points to behavior.

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   The phrase "principles of [a system/field]" often maps to Sense 3.
    *   The phrase "principles of [conduct/morality]" maps to Sense 2.
    *   "Principles of the sport" is a mix. But the "ethical" clue is very strong.

    *   Sense 1: basic generalization... basis for reasoning or conduct.
    *   Sense 2: rule or standard especially of good behavior.
    *   Sense 3: basic truth or law or assumption.
    *   Sense 5: rule of personal conduct.
    *   The context is "principles of the sport". This is a collective standard, not a personal one (Sense 5). It's a standard of behavior (Sense 2) or a fundamental tenet (Sense 3).
    *   Given the "ethical" vs "aesthetic" contrast, Sense 2 (standard of good behavior) is the most precise fit.

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
    *   Example: "a man of principle; he will not violate his principles"
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   Example: "the principles of democracy"
    *   "Principles of the sport" is structurally more like "principles of democracy".
    *   But "principles of democracy" are the *standards* by which a democracy is judged.
    *   Let's look at the "ethical" part again. "The damage... is not as much ethical as aesthetic." This means the principles *are* the things that would be ethically damaged. Standards of good behavior are exactly what are ethically damaged.

    *   Sense 2: rule/standard of good behavior.
    *   Sense 3: basic truth/law/assumption.
    *   If the author is talking about the "sporting spirit" and "ethical" damage, they are talking about the standards of behavior (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct"
    *   This is very similar to Sense 2 and 3.
    *   However, Sense 2 specifically mentions "good behavior", which aligns with "ethical".

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   "Principles of the sport" -> The fundamental standards of how the sport should be played (fair play, etc.). This is a standard of good behavior.

    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior"
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption"
    *   Actually, "principles of democracy" (Sense 3) are the fundamental rules/standards of that system. "Principles of the sport" are the fundamental rules/standards of that system.
    *   But "ethical" is the key. Ethics is the study of "good behavior".
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the most fitting.

Target lemma: action
Target surface form: actions
Context:
Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment. Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness. The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them. The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these <t>actions</t> is not as much ethical as aesthetic.

    *   Context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit... The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these <t>actions</t> is not as much ethical as aesthetic."
    *   The context discusses players making strategic decisions, obeying or not obeying sanctions, and the resulting impact on the sporting spirit. The "actions" refer to the specific things the players did.

    *   1: `something done (usually as opposed to something said)` - Fits well. The players did something (strategic decisions/behaviors).
    *   2: `the state of being active` - Doesn't fit.
    *   3: `a military engagement` - Doesn't fit.

    *   9: `an act by a government body or supranational organization` - Doesn't fit (players are not government bodies).
    *   10: `the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field` - Doesn't fit.

    *   The context refers to "Those actions" (referring back to the strategic decisions and the way the players acted to handle sanctions).
    *   Sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)". This is the general sense of an act or deed.
    *   The players' behavior (the "actions") is being judged as against the sporting spirit.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of "something done" by the players.

    *   Context: "Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises <t>possibility</t> of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere The discovery of a strange bacteria that can use arsenic as one of its nutrients widens the scope for finding new forms of life on Earth and possibly beyond."

    *   Sense 1: `possibility%1:09:03::` - a future prospect or potential (e.g., "this room has great possibilities").
    *   Sense 2: `possibility%1:26:00::` - capability of existing or happening or being true (e.g., "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired").
    *   Sense 3: `possibility%1:09:00::` - a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena (synonyms: hypothesis, theory).
    *   Sense 4: `possibility%1:09:01::` - a possible alternative (synonyms: possible action, opening).

    *   The sentence discusses a scientific discovery (arsenic-tolerant microbe) that suggests the existence of new types of life.
    *   "raises possibility of new types of life" means it suggests a hypothesis or a theoretical possibility that new types of life exist.
    *   Looking at Sense 3: "a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena". This fits perfectly with a scientific discovery raising a new theoretical possibility/hypothesis about life.
    *   Looking at Sense 2: "capability of existing or happening or being true". This is a more general sense of "possibility". While it fits, Sense 3 is more specific to the scientific context ("insight into the natural world").
    *   Looking at Sense 1: "future prospect or potential". This doesn't fit as well as Sense 3.
    *   Looking at Sense 4: "a possible alternative". This doesn't fit.

    *   The context is scientific ("microbe", "bacteria", "nutrients", "new forms of life").
    *   The phrase "raises possibility" in a scientific context often refers to a hypothesis or a theoretical possibility.
    *   Sense 3 specifically mentions "tentative insight into the natural world" and "concept that is not yet verified". This aligns exactly with the discovery of a microbe suggesting new types of life.

    *   Sense 1: Future prospect (No)
    *   Sense 2: Capability of existing (Possible, but general)
    *   Sense 3: Tentative insight/hypothesis (Best fit for scientific context)
    *   Sense 4: Possible alternative (No)
