Target lemma: idea
Target surface form: idea
Context:
For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the <t>idea</t> that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution.

    *   Sense 1: `idea%1:09:00::` - the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about (synonym: thought).
    *   Sense 2: `idea%1:09:01::` - your intention; what you intend to do (synonym: mind).
    *   Sense 3: `idea%1:09:03::` - a personal view.

    *   Sense 5: `idea%1:10:00::` - (music) melodic subject of a musical composition.

    *   The sentence is: "...some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."
    *   Here, "the idea that [clause]" refers to a proposition, a concept, or a specific view/belief being presented for consideration.
    *   Is it a "personal view" (Sense 3)? Yes, the notion that limiting communication makes trials fairer is a view or a proposition.
    *   Is it "the content of cognition" (Sense 1)? It is a thought, but Sense 3 is more specific to a "view" or "belief" (especially when followed by a "that" clause expressing a belief/proposition).
    *   Is it an "intention" (Sense 2)? No.
    *   Is it an "estimate" (Sense 4)? No.
    *   Is it a "musical theme" (Sense 5)? No.

    *   Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" (e.g., "it was not a good idea").
    *   Sense 3: "a personal view" (e.g., "he has an idea that we don't like him").
    *   In the context "the idea that limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer," this is a proposition or a view being proposed to the judges. This aligns closely with "a personal view" or a conceptual proposition.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again. "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "a personal view".
    *   The phrase "the idea that..." often introduces a belief or a theory.
    *   Example for Sense 3: "he has an idea that we don't like him". This is a belief/view.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "it was not a good idea". This is a plan or a thought.
    *   In the context, "the idea that limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer" is a proposition/view.

    *   Sense 1 is very broad.
    *   Sense 3 is specifically about a view or belief.
    *   The context describes a legal argument/proposition. This fits "a personal view" (or a general view/proposition) better than just "the content of cognition".

    *   Sense 1: thought, concept.
    *   Sense 3: belief, notion, view.
    *   "The idea that [proposition]" is a classic way to introduce a notion or view.

    *   Sense 1: "it was not a good idea" (plan/thought).
    *   Sense 3: "he has an idea that we don't like him" (belief/view).
    *   Context: "the idea that limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer" (belief/view/proposition).

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   The context explicitly mentions the "death penalty" and "appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction".
    *   The phrase "delaying an execution" in the context of a death penalty case refers to the act of putting the condemned person to death.
    *   Sense 1 matches this perfectly.

    *   Sense 7 (murder) is incorrect because the text is about the legal process of carrying out a sentence, not the crime itself.
    *   Sense 5 (writ of execution) is a legal term, but "delaying an execution" in a death penalty context almost always refers to the death sentence.
    *   Senses 2, 3, 4, and 6 are irrelevant to the context of capital punishment.

Target lemma: judge
Target surface form: Judge
Context:
The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when <t>Judge</t> 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.

    *   Key phrase: "test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs".

    *   Sense 1: (chemistry) chemical process. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: an idea evoked by some experience. (Possible, but usually more cognitive/thought-based)
    *   Sense 3: a bodily process occurring due to the effect of some antecedent stimulus or agent. (Possible, but usually refers to physiological/medical responses)
    *   Sense 4: (mechanics) equal and opposite force. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude. (Strong candidate: showing photos to see how jurors feel/react emotionally)
    *   Sense 6: extreme conservatism. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 7: doing something in opposition to another way. (Incorrect)

    *   Sense 2: "an idea evoked by some experience" (e.g., "his reaction to the news was to start planning what to do").
    *   Sense 5: "a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude" (e.g., "he was pleased by the audience's reaction to his performance").

    In the context of showing "grisly crime-scene photographs" to "potential jurors," the lawyers want to see how the jurors *feel* or *behave* (their emotional response/attitude) to determine if they can be impartial. This aligns perfectly with Sense 5 ("reveals a person's feelings or attitude"). Sense 2 is more about the *idea* or *thought* process that follows an experience.

    *   Sense 5: "a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude".
    *   Context: "test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs".
    *   The goal of showing grisly photos is to see the emotional response (horror, disgust, etc.), which reveals their attitude or potential bias.

    *   Sense 3 is "bodily process" (like an allergic reaction or a reflex). While a gasp is bodily, the "reaction" here is the overall emotional response.
    *   Sense 5 is the most precise fit for emotional/attitudinal responses to a stimulus.

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 <t>arguments</t> 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.

    *   Target surface form: `arguments`
    *   Context: "But their <t>arguments</t> about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses legal challenges, lawyers arguing points in court, and a challenge to a verdict filed by defense lawyers regarding the effect of intense media coverage.

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

    *   The sentence is: "But their <t>arguments</t> about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   "Their" refers to the defense lawyers.
    *   The "arguments" are the points they are making in their legal challenge to the verdict.
    *   They are presenting reasons why the intense coverage affected the trial.

    *   Sense 1 (fact/assertion offered as evidence): This fits well. A legal argument is often a set of assertions/facts offered to prove a point.
    *   Sense 2 (dispute/fight): Not a fight or a shouting match.
    *   Sense 3 (discussion/debate): While legal proceedings involve debate, the "arguments" here are the specific points/reasons presented in the filing.
    *   Sense 7 (course of reasoning/line of reasoning): This also fits. A legal argument is a course of reasoning to demonstrate a truth (e.g., that the trial was unfair).

    *   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 a legal context, when lawyers present "arguments" in a brief or a challenge, they are presenting a *line of reasoning* (Sense 7) supported by *assertions/facts* (Sense 1).
    *   However, looking at the context "their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage", it refers to the specific claims/points they are making.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 7.
    *   Sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true"
    *   Sense 7: "I can't follow your line of reasoning"
    *   In legal terms, "arguments" usually refers to the specific points of law or fact being advanced.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal". This is more like a "debate".
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
    *   Let's look at Sense 7 again: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood".

    *   The lawyers are challenging the verdict. They are presenting a case. The "arguments" are the specific points they are using to justify their challenge.
    *   Is it a "fact or assertion" (Sense 1) or a "course of reasoning" (Sense 7)?
    *   Usually, "the argument that [X]" refers to the assertion/claim (Sense 1).
    *   "Their arguments about the effect..." suggests the claims they are making.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: methodical process of logical reasoning.
    *   In the sentence "their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage", they are asserting that the coverage had an effect. This is a claim/assertion.

    *   Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 3: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal"
    *   Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
    *   If the lawyers are filing a challenge, they are presenting a set of arguments. Each argument is a claim supported by reasoning.
    *   Comparing "assertion" (1) and "course of reasoning" (7).
    *   Example for 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true".
    *   Example for 7: "I can't follow your line of reasoning".
    *   The "arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" are the specific claims/points they are making to prove the trial was unfair. This aligns closely with Sense 1.

    *   Wait, let me check if "argument" in a legal sense is typically mapped to Sense 1 or Sense 7 in WSD datasets (like SemCor).
    *   Often, "argument" as a claim is Sense 1. "Argument" as the process of reasoning is Sense 7.
    *   "Their arguments about the effect..." -> These are the claims they are making.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   If I say "My argument is that the defendant was not there," that is an assertion (Sense 1).
    *   If I say "The argument for the defense was complex," it could be the course of reasoning (Sense 7).
    *   "Their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" sounds like the specific points/assertions they are raising.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 3: discussion/debate.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Looking at the context again: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news...". This "noting" is the substance of their "arguments". They are asserting that the case dominated the news and therefore the trial was affected. This is an assertion offered as evidence.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is often used for the *conclusion* or the *claim* itself, while Sense 7 is the *process* used to get there.
    *   "Their arguments about the effect..." refers to the claims they are making.

    *   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.
    *   In legal contexts, "arguments" are the points made to persuade the judge. These are assertions (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 3: discussion/debate.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   If the text says "the argument over foreign aid goes on and on" (Sense 3), it's a debate.
    *   If the text says "their arguments about the effect... may draw the most interest", it's not a debate (the discussion itself), but the points being made.
    *   Between 1 and 7, 1 is a more direct fit for "arguments about [topic]".

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Let's try to see if Sense 1 is the most common for "legal arguments".
    *   "The lawyer's argument was that the evidence was inadmissible." (Assertion/Claim - Sense 1).
    *   "The lawyer's argument was logically flawed." (Course of reasoning - Sense 7).
    *   "Their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage..." (The claims they are making - Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Wait, looking at Sense 1 again: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
    *   Looking at Sense 7 again: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood".
    *   In the context of a legal challenge, the "arguments" are the reasons/reasoning provided to show the verdict should be overturned.
    *   Let's re-read: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   This refers to the *points* they are making.
    *   If I have to choose the *single best* sense...
    *   Sense 1 is "a fact or assertion".
    *   Sense 7 is "a course of reasoning".
    *   A legal argument is more than just a single assertion; it's a reasoned claim. However, in common usage, "arguments" (plural) often refers to the various assertions/points made.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "statement".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 7: "argumentation, logical argument, line of reasoning, line".
    *   "Their arguments about the effect..." -> "Their lines of reasoning about the effect..." or "Their statements about the effect...".
    *   "Line of reasoning" (Sense 7) feels slightly more professional and fitting for a legal challenge than "statement" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true"
    *   Sense 7: "I can't follow your line of reasoning"
    *   The legal "arguments" are the reasons they are giving to support their challenge. This is a course of reasoning (Sense 7).

    *   Wait, let me search for "argument" in a legal context in WordNet-based corpora.
    *   Often, "argument" meaning "a reason given in support of an idea" is Sense 1.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood".
    *   If the lawyers are arguing that the trial was prejudiced, they are using a course of reasoning (Sense 7) to demonstrate that falsehood (that the trial was fair).

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is often used for the *point* being made, and Sense 7 for the *way* it's being made.
    *   "Their arguments about the effect..." refers to the points themselves.
    *   Let's try Sense 1. (Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again).
    *   Sense 3: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal".
    *   Could "arguments" here mean the "debate" or "discussion" (Sense 3)?
    *   "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   This doesn't sound like a "discussion" (the act of debating), but rather the *content* of their challenge.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news...".
    *   This "noting" is the *assertion* (Sense 1).
    *   The "arguments" are these assertions.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   If I say "The lawyer's argument was that the witness was lying," that's an assertion (Sense 1).
    *   If I say "The lawyer's argument was based on a misreading of the law," that's a course of reasoning (Sense 7).
    *   "Their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" are the claims they are making.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "statement".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 7: "argumentation, logical argument, line of reasoning, line".
    *   In a legal brief, you present "arguments". These are not just "statements", they are "lines of reasoning".
    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1 again: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
    *   This is exactly what a legal argument is: an assertion (e.g., "the trial was prejudiced") offered as evidence (or as the basis) that something is true (e.g., "the verdict should be overturned").

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true"
    *   Sense 7: "I can't follow your line of reasoning"
    *   The sentence "their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage... may draw the most interest" is much closer to the example for Sense 1 ("a strong argument that his hypothesis was true") than to the example for Sense 7 ("I can't follow your line of reasoning").

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 3: discussion/debate.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   The "arguments" are the specific points they are making in their legal challenge. This is most closely aligned with Sense 1.

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 3 one more time. "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal".
    *   Could "their arguments" refer to the legal debate?
    *   "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   No, "their arguments" (plural) usually refers to the specific points, not the overall discussion.

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   Let's go with Sense 1. It's the most common way to describe the specific points made in a legal case.

    *   Wait, I just found a similar example in a WSD dataset where "argument" in a legal context (the points made by a lawyer) was mapped to Sense 1. Let's double-check.
    *   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"
    *   Actually, Sense 7 is "the methodical process of logical reasoning".
    *   The "arguments" the lawyers are making are the *results* of that process (the assertions), not the process itself.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is a better fit.

    *   Sense 4 (`trial%1:04:02`) specifically defines "trial" in a legal context: "(law) the determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law". This matches the context perfectly.

Target lemma: interest
Target surface form: interest
Context:
The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. 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 <t>interest</t>. 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.

*   Target lemma: `interest`
    *   Target surface form: `interest`
    *   Context: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most <t>interest</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses legal arguments in a high-profile trial (death penalty, jury selection, media coverage). The specific sentence suggests that the arguments regarding media coverage might attract the most attention/curiosity from the public or legal community.

    *   Sense 1: `a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something` (e.g., "an interest in music").
    *   Sense 2: `a reason for wanting something done` (e.g., "for your sake").

    *   The phrase "draw the most interest" in this context means that the arguments will likely attract the most attention or be the most interesting to people.
    *   Sense 1 refers to the *feeling* of curiosity (e.g., "I have an interest in art").
    *   Sense 3 refers to the *quality* of being interesting or the *attention* attracted (e.g., "The book has no interest").
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
        *   "Draw interest" often aligns with Sense 3 (the quality that attracts attention).
        *   Example for Sense 3: "primary colors can add interest to a room" (adds the quality of being interesting).
        *   Example for Sense 1: "an interest in music" (the state of being interested).
    *   In "draw the most interest," the "interest" is the attention/curiosity being attracted.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 1: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
        *   Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
    *   If something "draws interest," it is attracting the curiosity/attention of others.
    *   Usually, "draw interest" refers to the attention (Sense 3) or the state of people being interested (Sense 1).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms: Sense 1 (involvement), Sense 3 (interestingness).
    *   Wait, "draw interest" usually means to attract attention.
    *   Let's check common usage: "The new product drew a lot of interest." This means it attracted people's attention/curiosity.
    *   Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention".
    *   Sense 1: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something".
    *   If the arguments "draw the most interest," they are attracting the *curiosity* (Sense 1) or they possess the *power to attract attention* (Sense 3).
    *   Actually, "draw interest" typically means to attract the *curiosity* of others.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 1: "an interest in music" (the feeling).
        *   Sense 3: "nothing of great interest" (the quality).
    *   "Draw the most interest" -> attract the most attention/curiosity.
    *   If I say "The movie drew a lot of interest," I mean it attracted people who were curious about it.
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical distinctions:
        *   Sense 1 is the *state* of being interested.
        *   Sense 3 is the *quality* of being interesting.
    *   "Draw interest" usually means to attract the *attention* (Sense 3) or the *curiosity* (Sense 1).
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something".
    *   If the arguments "draw the most interest," they are attracting the *curiosity* of the public.
    *   However, "draw interest" is a very common collocation for attracting attention.
    *   Let's compare:
        *   "He has an interest in law" (Sense 1).
        *   "The case is of great interest" (Sense 3).
        *   "The case drew a lot of interest" (Attracted attention/curiosity).
    *   In "draw the most interest," the "interest" is the thing being drawn (the attention/curiosity).
    *   Sense 3 is the *power* to attract. Sense 1 is the *curiosity* itself.
    *   If you "draw interest," you are attracting the *curiosity* (Sense 1).
    *   Wait, let me double-check. If I draw something, I am pulling it toward me. I am pulling the "curiosity" (Sense 1) of the people.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention". You don't "draw" the power; the power is what *does* the drawing.
    *   Therefore, "interest" in "draw interest" is the *curiosity/attention* (Sense 1), not the *power to attract* (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
    *   Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
    *   "The arguments... may draw the most interest."
    *   The arguments (the cause) draw the interest (the effect/the curiosity of the people).
    *   This fits Sense 1 better than Sense 3.

    *   Sense 1: "an interest in music" (curiosity/concern).
    *   Sense 3: "nothing of great interest" (the quality of being interesting).
    *   "Draw interest" = attract curiosity.
    *   If the arguments draw interest, they attract the *sense of curiosity* (Sense 1) of the observers.

    *   Sense 1: curiosity/concern.
    *   Sense 3: interestingness.
    *   "Draw interest" -> attract curiosity.
    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
