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

Context: 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 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 <t>case</t>. "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."

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.

Senses:
1. definition=the concentration of attention or energy on something | synonyms=focusing, focussing, focal point, direction, centering | examples=the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology; he had no direction in his life

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Their <t>focus</t> on the Twitter coverage is controversial."
    *   Surrounding text: The lawyers argued that media coverage (tweets, cameras, reporters) fanned the flames of emotion. They specifically mentioned the "daily crush of media tweets." The sentence in question refers to the lawyers' emphasis or concentration of attention on the Twitter aspect of the coverage.

    *   Sense 1: "the concentration of attention or energy on something" (Synonyms: focusing, focal point, direction, centering).
    *   Sense 2: "maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system" (Optical focus).
    *   Sense 3: "maximum clarity or distinctness of an idea" (Bringing into focus).
    *   Sense 4: "a central point or locus of an infection in an organism" (Medical focus).
    *   Sense 5: "special emphasis attached to something" (Synonym: stress).
    *   Sense 6: "a point of convergence of light..." (Physics focus).
    *   Sense 7: "a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section" (Geometry focus).

    *   The lawyers are concentrating their attention/argument on the Twitter coverage.
    *   Sense 1: "concentration of attention or energy on something." This fits well.
    *   Sense 5: "special emphasis attached to something." This also fits well.

    *   Sense 1 is more general: "concentration of attention."
    *   Sense 5 is "special emphasis."
    *   In the context "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial," the lawyers are centering their argument/attention on Twitter.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology."
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 5: "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed."
    *   The sentence "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial" means they are putting a lot of attention/emphasis on it.
    *   Usually, "focus on [something]" in the sense of paying attention to it or centering an argument on it aligns best with Sense 1. Sense 5 ("special emphasis") is very similar, but "concentration of attention" (Sense 1) is the primary meaning when someone "focuses" their argument or attention on a specific point.

    *   "Their focus on the Twitter coverage..."
    *   Does it mean "Their concentration of attention on the Twitter coverage"? Yes.
    *   Does it mean "The special emphasis they attached to the Twitter coverage"? Yes.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 5: Sense 1 is often used for the act or state of concentrating attention. Sense 5 is more about the weight given to something.
    *   In many dictionaries (like WordNet, which these senses seem to mirror), "focus" as "concentration of attention" is the most common usage for this context.

    *   Sense 1: concentration of attention or energy.
    *   Sense 5: special emphasis.
    *   If the lawyers are arguing that Twitter specifically was a problem, they are concentrating their attention/argument there.
    *   Let's re-read: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames... 'The daily crush of media tweets... was unlike anything ever seen...' Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial."
    *   This refers to the fact that they are highlighting/concentrating on Twitter.
    *   Sense 1 is the broader, more standard definition for "focus on [topic]".

    *   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 their argument shifted to Twitter" or "their concentration of attention was on Twitter."

    *   Sense 1 is the most fitting.

    *   Target word: "view"
    *   Surrounding phrase: "a Luddite view"

    *   Sense 1: a way of regarding situations or topics etc. (position, perspective)
    *   Sense 2: the visual percept of a region (aspect, prospect, scene, vista, panorama)
    *   Sense 3: the act of looking or seeing or observing (survey, sight)

    *   Sense 9: the range of interest or activity (horizon, purview)

    *   The phrase "Luddite view" refers to a perspective or a way of regarding the impact of technology (instant news) on society/law.
    *   It's not about seeing something with eyes (Senses 2, 3, 4, 8, 10).
    *   It's not about purpose (Sense 7).
    *   It's not about the range of interest (Sense 9).
    *   It's between Sense 1 (way of regarding situations/topics), Sense 5 (personal belief/judgment), and Sense 6 (message expressing a belief).

    *   Sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." (position, perspective). Example: "positivist view".
    *   Sense 5: "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty" (opinion, sentiment).
    *   Sense 6: "a message expressing a belief about something" (opinion).

    *   "Luddite view" describes a general perspective or ideological position regarding technology. This fits very well with Sense 1 ("a way of regarding situations or topics etc.").
    *   While it is an opinion (Sense 5), "Luddite" acts as a descriptor for a specific *type* of perspective or ideological stance. Sense 1's "position, perspective" aligns better with "Luddite view" than a simple "personal belief" (Sense 5) or a "message expressing a belief" (Sense 6).

    *   Sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." -> "Luddite view" (a way of regarding technology/instant news).
    *   Sense 5: "a personal belief or judgment..." -> This is more about an individual's opinion.
    *   Sense 6: "a message expressing a belief..." -> This is more about the expression (like an op-ed).

    The context "a Luddite view" refers to a perspective or a general way of thinking about the issue. Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   The context discusses a trial, a verdict, a courthouse, lawyers, and appeals courts.
    *   The specific phrase is "court policy governing coverage of future trials."
    *   This refers to the rules or policies of the judicial system/legal body.
    *   Sense 1 (assembly/judicature) and Sense 8 (tribunal/lawcourt) are very similar.
    *   Let's look closer:
        *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature"
        *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws | synonyms=lawcourt, court of law, court of justice"
    *   In "court policy," "court" acts as an adjective describing the policy of the judicial system.
    *   Usually, "court policy" refers to the rules established by the judicial body (the system of courts).
    *   Comparing 1 and 8: Sense 8 is the most common definition for a "court of law." Sense 1 is slightly more abstract ("judicature").
    *   Wait, let's re-read the context: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
    *   The "court policy" refers to the policy of the legal system/tribunal.
    *   Looking at the provided senses again, Sense 8 is the standard definition for a law court. Sense 1 is very similar.
    *   Let's check if there's a nuance. "Court policy" usually refers to the rules of the court (the institution).
    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".
    *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business".
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, Sense 8 is the primary definition for the legal institution.

    *   "court policy governing coverage of future trials"
    *   This is the policy of the *law court* or the *judicial system*.
    *   Sense 8 is the most fitting description of the institution that would have such a policy.

    *   Sense 1: assembly/judicature.
    *   Sense 8: tribunal/lawcourt.
    *   In the context of "court policy," it refers to the rules of the law court. Sense 8 is the most direct fit for "lawcourt."

    *   Sense 1: assembly to conduct judicial business.
    *   Sense 8: tribunal presided over by a magistrate/judges who administer justice.
    *   These are extremely close. However, "court policy" usually refers to the rules of the *court of law* (Sense 8).

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses again.
    *   1. assembly... to conduct judicial business.
    *   8. tribunal... who administer justice according to the laws.
    *   In the phrase "court policy," "court" is used as a modifier. It means "of the court."
    *   If we look at the synonyms:
        *   1: tribunal, judicature.
        *   8: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice.
    *   "Lawcourt policy" or "Court of law policy" makes more sense than "judicature policy."

    *   Context: "poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."
    *   This refers to the rules of the legal system/court.
    *   Sense 8 is the most comprehensive definition of a law court.

    *   Sense 1: assembly... to conduct judicial business.
    *   Sense 8: tribunal... who administer justice according to the laws.
    *   Actually, looking at WordNet (which these senses seem to be from), Sense 8 is the most common for "court of law."

    *   Sense 1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business.
    *   Sense 8: a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws.
    *   In the context of "court policy," it refers to the institution. Sense 8 is the standard definition for the institution of the court.

    *   Wait, let me double-check the context again. "some journalists said the claim... would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."
    *   This means the policy of the courts (the judicial system).
    *   Sense 8 is the most appropriate.

        *   Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true" (e.g., "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true").
        *   Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning" (e.g., "I can't follow your line of reasoning").
    *   In legal terms, an "argument" is the reasoning used to support a claim. The claim here is "that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts." The "arguments" are the logical paths taken to prove this claim.
    *   Wait, 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".
    *   Usually, in legal contexts, "making an argument" refers to the reasoning process (Sense 7). However, "arguments that [proposition]" often aligns with Sense 1 (assertions).
    *   Let's check the examples again.
        *   Sense 1 example: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true". This matches the structure "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation".
        *   Sense 7 example: "I can't follow your line of reasoning". This is more about the *process* of the argument.

    *   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 the sentence "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts," the "arguments" are the specific claims/assertions being made to the court.
    *   Looking at common dictionary distinctions (like Oxford or Merriam-Webster), "argument" as a set of reasons to persuade is often grouped.
    *   Let's compare "assertion" (Sense 1) vs "course of reasoning" (Sense 7).
    *   The phrase "arguments that [clause]" usually refers to the claim being made (Sense 1).
    *   Let's double-check Sense 1's example: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true". This is almost identical in structure to "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation".

    *   Sense 1: Assertion/Statement.
    *   Sense 7: Logical reasoning/Line of reasoning.
    *   The context is about lawyers presenting their case to an appeals court. They are presenting reasons/assertions to persuade the court.
    *   If the text said "The lawyer's argument was flawed," it would be Sense 7.
    *   If the text says "arguments that [X is true]," it's more likely Sense 1.

    *   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, in many contexts, these are very similar. But Sense 1's example "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true" is a perfect structural match for "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation".

    *   Sense 1: assertion offered as evidence.
    *   Sense 7: course of reasoning.
    *   The lawyers are presenting a claim (assertion) that the court should adapt. This claim is supported by reasoning. The "arguments" themselves are the assertions being made.

    *   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 writing, "the argument that..." usually introduces the claim/assertion.
    *   Let's re-evaluate. Is it a "fact or assertion" or a "course of reasoning"?
    *   "Arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation" -> This is the *claim* they are making.
    *   Sense 1 fits the "assertion" part. Sense 7 fits the "reasoning" part.
    *   Looking at the example for Sense 1 again: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true". This is almost exactly the same usage.

    *   Sense 1: assertion/statement.
    *   Sense 7: logical reasoning.

*   Context: "...some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological <t>changes</t> required adaptation by the courts."
    *   Target word: "changes" (plural of "change").
    *   Meaning in context: The shift or evolution in society and technology (e.g., the rise of social media/Twitter) that necessitates a change in how courts handle trial coverage.

    *   Sense 1: An event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another (alteration, modification). Example: "the change was intended to increase sales".
    *   Sense 2: A relational difference between states (before and after). Example: "he attributed the change to their marriage".
    *   Sense 3: The action of changing something. Example: "the change of government".
    *   Sense 4: The result of alteration or modification. Example: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs".
    *   Sense 5: Money balance.
    *   Sense 6: A thing that is different.
    *   Sense 7: Fresh clothes.
    *   Sense 8: Small coins.
    *   Sense 9: Money exchanged for larger denomination.
    *   Sense 10: A pleasant difference (variety).

    *   The context refers to "social and technological changes". These are shifts or modifications in the way society and technology function.
    *   Sense 1 describes an event of passing from one state to another (alteration/modification).
    *   Sense 4 describes the *result* of alteration or modification.
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 1 vs Sense 4.
        *   Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
        *   Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   "Social and technological changes" usually refers to the modifications themselves or the process of shifting.
    *   Comparing with examples:
        *   Sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales" (the act/event of changing).
        *   Sense 4: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (the resulting differences).
    *   In "social and technological changes", it refers to the modifications that have occurred in society and technology. This fits well with Sense 1 (alteration, modification) or Sense 4 (the result of alteration).
    *   However, "social and technological changes" is a very common phrase referring to the *process* or the *phenomena* of things changing.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   If I say "technological changes", am I talking about the *event* of changing or the *result* (the new things that exist)? Usually, it's the modifications themselves.
    *   Looking at the synonyms for Sense 1: "alteration, modification".
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 4: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs". This is a physical result.
    *   "Social and technological changes" are essentially modifications in how society and technology work.
    *   Let's check if Sense 1 fits better. "The change was intended to increase sales" -> The modification was intended...
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is often used for the general concept of alteration.

    *   Sense 1: Event/Process of passing from one state to another.
    *   Sense 4: The result of that process.
    *   "Social and technological changes" are the modifications that have happened.
    *   In many dictionaries, "change" as in "social change" is the act or process of becoming different.
    *   Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   If the courts need to adapt to "changes", they are adapting to the *new state of affairs* (the result) or the *fact that things are changing* (the process).
    *   Usually, "social change" is categorized as the process/event of alteration.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "alteration, modification".
    *   "Social and technological alterations/modifications". This fits.

    *   Sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales" (The act of changing the strategy).
    *   Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (The physical differences found).
    *   "Social and technological changes" are more like the "alterations" (Sense 1) than the "results" (Sense 4), although the line is thin. However, "social change" is a standard term for the process of society evolving.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   If I say "the changes in the law", are those the events of changing the law or the resulting new laws? Usually the resulting modifications.
    *   "Social and technological changes" -> The modifications that have occurred.
    *   Let's compare "the change was intended to increase sales" (Sense 1) with "marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (Sense 4).
    *   The "lining of the lungs" example is a state. The "increase sales" example is an action/event.
    *   "Social and technological changes" are the modifications that have taken place.
    *   Actually, looking at the provided senses again, Sense 1 is the most general "alteration/modification".

    *   Sense 1: alteration, modification.
    *   Sense 4: result of alteration.
    *   "Social and technological changes" = social and technological alterations.
    *   This fits Sense 1 best.

    *   Sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales" (The act of changing something).
    *   Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (The differences that exist).
    *   "Social and technological changes" are the differences/modifications that now exist in society and technology.
    *   Wait, if I say "the changes in the weather", is that Sense 1 or Sense 4?
    *   If I say "the changes in the law", is that Sense 1 or Sense 4?
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is often the *process* and Sense 4 is the *outcome*.
    *   "Social and technological changes" usually refers to the outcomes (the new technologies, the new social norms).
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   The courts are adapting to the *results* of the changes (the existence of Twitter, the speed of news).
    *   Therefore, Sense 4 seems more precise for the *things* the courts are adapting to.

    *   Sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales" (The act of changing).
    *   Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (The resulting differences).
    *   "Social and technological changes" -> The resulting differences in society and technology.
    *   This matches Sense 4 better.

    *   Sense 1: "this storm is certainly a change for the worse" (The event of the weather changing).
    *   Sense 4: "there had been no change in the mountains" (No result of alteration).
    *   "Social and technological changes" are the modifications that have occurred.
    *   If we say "the changes in the law required adaptation", we mean the new laws (the results).
    *   If we say "the changes in technology required adaptation", we mean the new technologies (the results).

    *   Sense 1: Event/Process.
    *   Sense 4: Result/Outcome.
    *   "Social and technological changes" = the results of the process of social and technological evolution.
    *   Sense 4 is the most fitting.

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

Context: 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 policy governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required <t>adaptation</t> by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim.

Senses:
1. definition=a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form | synonyms=version | examples=the play is an adaptation of a short novel
2. definition=the process of adapting to something (such as environmental conditions) | synonyms=adaption, adjustment

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A legal case where lawyers argue that social and technological changes (like social media/Twitter) require "adaptation" by the courts.
    *   Target word: "adaptation"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  A written work recast in a new form (e.g., book to movie).
        2.  The process of adapting to something (e.g., environmental conditions, adjustment).

    *   The sentence is: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required <t>adaptation</t> by the courts."
    *   The "adaptation" here refers to the courts changing their policies or procedures to fit new social and technological realities (like the impact of Twitter on trials).

    *   Sense 1 (written work) is incorrect. The courts aren't being turned into a novel or a play.
    *   Sense 2 (process of adapting/adjustment) fits perfectly. The courts need to adjust their rules/policies to the new environment.
    *   Sense 3 (physiology) is incorrect. The courts are not sense organs.

    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, these are nearly identical. Let's see if there's a nuance.
    *   "The courts" often refers to the judiciary as a whole.
    *   Sense 8 is "a tribunal... who administer justice".
    *   Sense 1 is "an assembly... to conduct judicial business".
    *   Looking at the context "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts", it refers to the legal bodies/institutions.

In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial <t>coverage</t> and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.
