reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Baskonia gives away a victory in Israel... they now at the <t>top</t> of their group."
    *   Target word: "top"
    *   Meaning in context: Being in the first position of a group (likely a sports league table or group stage).

    *   Sense 1: Upper part of anything (e.g., top of the page).
    *   Sense 2: Highest or uppermost side (e.g., top of the desk).
    *   Sense 3: Extreme point of something like a mountain (e.g., peak).
    *   Sense 4: First half of an inning in baseball.
    *   Sense 5: Highest level or degree attainable; highest stage of development (e.g., acme, pinnacle).
    *   Sense 6: Greatest possible intensity (e.g., top of lungs).
    *   Sense 7: Platform on a mast.
    *   Sense 8: Spinning toy.
    *   Sense 9: Covering for a hole/container.
    *   Sense 10: Garment.
    *   Sense 11: Circus tent.

    *   The context refers to a sports team (Baskonia) being at the "top of their group."
    *   This means they are in the highest position in the standings.
    *   Looking at the senses, Sense 5 ("the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development") is the closest, although it's often used for quality or achievement.
    *   Wait, let me re-examine Sense 1. "the upper part of anything". In a list or a table, the top is the upper part.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "the highest level or degree attainable".
    *   Actually, "top of the group" usually means the first position in a ranking.
    *   Is there a better sense?
    *   Sense 1: "the upper part of anything" (e.g., top of the page). A league table is like a list. The top of the list is the upper part.
    *   Sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable".
    *   Let's compare: "top of the group" (rank 1).
    *   If I look at common dictionary definitions for "top of the league/group", it often falls under the general "highest part" or "highest rank".
    *   Sense 1: "the upper part of anything".
    *   Sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable".
    *   Usually, "top of the group" refers to the highest position in a ranking.
    *   Let's check if any other sense fits. No.
    *   Between 1 and 5:
        *   Sense 1 is more physical/spatial (upper part of a page).
        *   Sense 5 is more about level/degree/stage.
    *   Actually, "top of the group" is a position in a hierarchy or ranking.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "the upper part of anything".
    *   In many datasets (like WordNet), "top" as in "top of the class" or "top of the league" is often categorized under the sense of "highest point" or "highest rank".
    *   Looking at the provided senses again:
        1. upper part of anything
        5. highest level or degree attainable
    *   If you are at the top of a group, you are at the highest rank.
    *   Is "highest rank" closer to "upper part" (1) or "highest level" (5)?
    *   "Highest level" (5) seems more appropriate for rank/status than "upper part" (1), which is more physical.
    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 examples: "the title should be written at the top of the first page". This is spatial.
    *   Sense 5 examples: "his landscapes were deemed the acme of beauty". This is about quality/degree.
    *   "Top of the group" in sports is about rank.
    *   Let's look at the senses again. Is there any other?
    *   Maybe Sense 1 is used metaphorically for the top of a list?
    *   Let's search for "top of the group" in a dictionary.
    *   Merriam-Webster: "the highest point", "the highest rank".
    *   Oxford: "the highest part", "the highest rank or position".
    *   If "highest rank" is the meaning, which sense fits best?
    *   Sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable".
    *   Sense 1: "the upper part of anything".
    *   Actually, in many NLP tasks using these specific sense definitions (which look like they come from a specific dictionary), "top of the group/class" is often mapped to the sense of "highest rank/position".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "the upper part of anything".
    *   If you are at the top of a group, you are at the highest position.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 5 again: "acme of beauty", "gifts are at their acme". These are about the peak of quality.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "top of the first page".
    *   Wait, if you think of a league table as a list, the "top" is the upper part.
    *   However, "top of the group" usually means the best/highest ranked.
    *   Let's consider if there's a sense I missed.
    *   1. upper part
    *   2. uppermost side
    *   3. peak/summit
    *   4. baseball
    *   5. highest level/degree
    *   6. intensity
    *   7. mast
    *   8. toy
    *   9. cover
    *   10. garment
    *   11. tent
    *   Comparing 1 and 5 again. "Top of the group" is a rank. Rank is a level.
    *   Let's try to find this specific sense set online. These look like WordNet or a similar lexicon.
    *   In WordNet, "top" has senses like:
        - the highest point, the highest part (Sense 1/3)
        - the highest rank or position (This is often a separate sense)
    *   If "highest rank" isn't explicitly listed, which one is it?
    *   "Highest level" (Sense 5) is very close to "highest rank".
    *   Let's check Sense 1 again. "the upper part of anything".
    *   If I have to choose between "upper part" and "highest level", "highest level" (5) fits "top of the group" better than "upper part" (1).

    *   "they now at the top of their group"
    *   This means they are in first place.
    *   First place = highest rank = highest level.
    *   Sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable".

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 1 again. "the upper part of anything". If you look at a table, the first place is at the upper part.
    *   But "top of the group" is an idiomatic way to say "highest rank".
    *   Let's look at Sense 5's synonyms: acme, height, elevation, peak, pinnacle, summit.
    *   These are all synonyms for the highest point or rank.
    *   "Pinnacle of his career" = highest point/rank.
    *   "Top of the group" = highest rank.
    *   This seems more likely than "upper part of anything".

    *   Sense 1: Physical upper part.
    *   Sense 5: Highest level/degree/rank.
    *   "Top of the group" = Highest rank.
    *   Therefore, Sense 5.

    *   Wait, let me double-check. Is "top of the group" more like "top of the page" (Sense 1) or "acme of beauty" (Sense 5)?
    *   "Top of the page" is purely spatial.
    *   "Acme of beauty" is about the highest degree.
    *   "Top of the group" is about the highest rank.
    *   Rank is a degree of success/position.
    *   Let's search for "top of the group" in a dictionary again.
    *   Cambridge Dictionary: "the highest position in a league or competition".
    *   This is a "position" or "rank".
    *   Looking at the senses provided, Sense 5 ("highest level or degree") is the only one that deals with non-physical height (except for Sense 6, which is intensity).

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "the upper part of anything".
    *   Could "anything" include a group? "The upper part of the group"? No, that sounds weird.
    *   Could "anything" include a list? "The upper part of the list"? Yes.
    *   But "top of the group" usually means the best team, not just the one whose name is written highest (though they are the same thing in a table).
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "the highest level or degree attainable".
    *   Is being first in a group the "highest level attainable"? Yes.

    *   Let's search for this specific sense list. It looks like it might be from a dataset like WordNet or a similar one used in NLP benchmarks (like SemEval).
    *   In some versions of these tasks, "top of the class" or "top of the league" is mapped to the sense of "highest rank".
    *   If Sense 5 is "highest level or degree", it's the best fit.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "the mower cuts off the tops of the grass; the title should be written at the top of the first page". These are very physical.
    *   Sense 5: "his landscapes were deemed the acme of beauty; the artist's gifts are at their acme". These are about quality/level.
    *   "Top of the group" is about rank/level.

    *   Wait, let me think one more time. Is there any other possibility?
    *   Sense 3: "the top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or hill)". No.
    *   Sense 2: "the highest or uppermost side of anything". No.
    *   Sense 5 seems the most plausible.

    *   Wait, I just found a similar example in a dataset where "top of the league" was mapped to "the highest rank or position". If that's not an option, "highest level or degree" (Sense 5) is the closest.

    *   Let me re-read Sense 1 one more time. "the upper part of anything".
    *   If you are at the top of a group, you are at the upper part of the group's ranking.
    *   But "highest level" is a more direct synonym for "highest rank".

    *   Let's consider the phrase "top of the group".
    *   If the group is a set of people, the "top" is the one with the highest rank.
    *   If the group is a physical pile, the "top" is the upper part.
    *   In sports, it's definitely rank.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: acme, height, elevation, peak, pinnacle, summit.
    *   These are often used metaphorically for rank (e.g., "the pinnacle of success").
    *   "Top of the group" is a similar metaphorical use of height to describe rank.

    *   Final check:
        Context: "they now at the top of their group"
        Sense 1: upper part (physical)
        Sense 5: highest level/degree (rank/quality)
        Conclusion: Sense 5.

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

Context: Baskonia gives away a victory in Israel Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses, and after the great performance by Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points), they now at the top of their group.

Additionally, their huge success from the sidelines, with 16 three pointers scored, had a lot to do with the final triumph.

Senses:
1. definition=the state of being absent | examples=he was surprised by the absence of any explanation
2. definition=failure to be present
3. definition=the time interval during which something or somebody is away | examples=he visited during my absence
4. definition=the occurrence of an abrupt, transient loss or impairment of consciousness (which is not subsequently remembered), sometimes with light twitching, fluttering eyelids, etc.; common in petit mal epilepsy | synonyms=absence seizure

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant <t>absences</t> of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of involvement and teamwork..."
    *   Target word: "absences" (plural of absence).
    *   Meaning in context: The players (Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas, and Micov) were not present/available for the game.

    *   Sense 1: "the state of being absent" (e.g., absence of any explanation). This is a general state of non-existence or non-presence.
    *   Sense 2: "failure to be present". This specifically refers to people not being where they are expected to be (like missing a game or school).
    *   Sense 3: "the time interval during which something or somebody is away" (e.g., visited during my absence). This refers to the duration of time.
    *   Sense 4: "the occurrence of an abrupt, transient loss or impairment of consciousness" (medical term).

    *   The context refers to players who were not available for the match.
    *   Sense 1 is very general (absence of an explanation).
    *   Sense 2 ("failure to be present") fits well when talking about people missing an event or a game.
    *   Sense 3 refers to the *time period* of being away, not the fact that they were missing from the roster for that specific game.
    *   Sense 4 is medical and irrelevant.

    *   In sports reporting, "absences" usually refers to players who are missing from the lineup (due to injury, suspension, etc.). This is a "failure to be present" (Sense 2).
    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
    *   Sense 1: "the state of being absent".
    *   Sense 2: "failure to be present".
    *   Often, these are very close. Let's look at the examples.
    *   Sense 1 example: "absence of any explanation" (non-existence).
    *   Sense 2: "failure to be present" (usually refers to people).
    *   In the context "absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov", it means these people were not present.

    *   Sense 1: State of being absent (can be abstract, like "absence of evidence").
    *   Sense 2: Failure to be present (usually refers to people missing a duty or event).
    *   Sense 3: The period of time.
    *   Sense 4: Medical.

    The players failed to be present for the game. This aligns best with Sense 2.

    *Self-Correction/Double Check:*
    Is it Sense 1? "The state of being absent."
    Is it Sense 2? "Failure to be present."
    In many dictionaries (like WordNet, which these senses seem to mirror), Sense 1 is the general state, and Sense 2 is specifically about people not being where they should be.

    Let's look at the context again: "make up for the significant absences of [players]".
    This means the team had to play without them. They were not present.

    Comparing Sense 1 and 2 again:
    1. the state of being absent (e.g., absence of explanation)
    2. failure to be present (e.g., absence from school)

    The players' absence from the game is a "failure to be present" (whether intentional or due to injury).

    Final check:
    Sense 1: Absence of a thing.
    Sense 2: Absence of a person.
    Sense 3: The duration.
    Sense 4: Medical.

    The context is about people. Sense 2 is the most precise.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of <t>involvement</t> and teamwork, even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory."
    *   Key phrase: "a big dose of involvement and teamwork".
    *   Contextual clues: The team is missing key players ("significant absences"). To compensate, they used "involvement and teamwork". This suggests that the players who were present had to participate more actively, work together, and engage more deeply in the game/team effort.

    *   Sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" (synonyms: engagement, participation).
    *   Sense 2: "a connection of inclusion or containment" (e.g., involvement in an accident, medical involvement of an organ).
    *   Sense 3: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something" (synonym: interest).
    *   Sense 4: "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship" (synonym: affair).
    *   Sense 5: "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" (synonym: participation).

    *   Sense 1 (engagement/participation in activities) fits well. The players had to be more engaged and participate more actively to make up for missing teammates.
    *   Sense 2 (inclusion/containment) does not fit.
    *   Sense 3 (interest/curiosity) does not fit.
    *   Sense 4 (sexual relationship) does not fit.
    *   Sense 5 (condition of sharing in common) is similar to Sense 1, but Sense 1 specifically mentions "sharing in the activities of a group," which aligns better with the active nature of a basketball game and "teamwork."

    *   "Involvement and teamwork" in a sports context usually refers to the players' active participation and engagement in the game plan and with each other.
    *   Sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" -> "engagement, participation". This matches perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: Act of sharing in activities (participation).
    *   Sense 5: Condition of sharing in common (participation).
    *   In the context of "a big dose of involvement and teamwork," it refers to the *act* of participating and engaging actively, rather than a general *condition* of sharing something in common. Sense 1 is the stronger fit.

    *   1: Extremity of length (e.g., end of the pier). -> No.

    *   3: Concluding parts of an event or occurrence (e.g., the end was exciting). -> Very likely. "Hold out until the end" refers to the final stages of the game.

    In the phrase "hold out until the end", "the end" refers to the final period of the basketball game. This fits "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (Sense 3) better than a single "point in time" (Sense 2), although they are close. However, "hold out until the end" typically implies enduring through the final stages.

    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends".
    Let's re-examine Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".

    If you "hold out until the end", you are enduring until the event is over. This often refers to the final stretch.

    Comparing examples:
    Sense 2: "the end of the year" (a specific point/date).
    Sense 3: "the end was exciting" (the final part of the movie/game).

    In the context of a sports game, "until the end" usually means until the final whistle/buzzer, which is the point in time (Sense 2) or the final stage (Sense 3).

    Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "the point in time at which something ends".
    Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".

    "Hold out until the end" -> Hold out until the game finishes.
    If I say "I stayed until the end of the movie", I usually mean until it finished (point in time).
    If I say "The end of the movie was great", I mean the concluding parts.

    In "hold out until the end", it's more about the duration leading up to the finish.

    Let's check other dictionaries or common usage. "Until the end" often maps to the point in time when something finishes.

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends".
    Let's re-read Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".

    If the team "had to hold out until the end", they had to maintain their effort until the game was over. This is the point in time (Sense 2).

    Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence". Example: "the end was exciting". This describes the *quality* of the final part.

    "Until the end" usually refers to the limit/point in time.

    Let's double-check Sense 2 examples: "the end of the year; the ending of warranty period". These are points in time.

    Let's double-check Sense 3 examples: "the end was exciting; I had to miss the last of the movie". These are segments of time.

    "Hold out until the end" -> Hold out until the point in time the game ends.

    Actually, looking at many NLP datasets (like WordNet), "until the end" often aligns with the point in time.

    Let's re-evaluate.
    Sense 2: point in time.
    Sense 3: concluding parts.

    If you hold out *until* something, that "something" is usually a point in time.

    Let's check Sense 5: "a final part or section". Example: "go on until you come to the end". This is often used for physical things or sections of a text.

    Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 3 again.
    "The end of the game" (the moment it finishes) vs "The end of the game" (the last few minutes).
    "Hold out until the end" means they didn't give up until the game was over. This points to the point in time.

    Wait, let me search for "hold out until the end" sense.
    Usually, "until the end" means "until the conclusion".

    Let's look at the provided senses again.
    2. the point in time at which something ends.
    3. the concluding parts of an event or occurrence.

    If I say "I will love you until the end", I mean until the point in time I die.
    If I say "I stayed until the end", I mean until the point in time it finished.

    Sense 3 is more about the *content* of the final part ("the end was exciting").

    Therefore, Sense 2 seems more appropriate for "until the end".

    Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again. "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".
    If the game is the event, the "end" is the concluding part.
    But "until" usually precedes a point in time.

    Let's try to see if "the end" in "until the end" is commonly categorized as Sense 2 or 3.
    In many contexts, "the end" meaning "the finish" is the point in time.

    Let's re-read: "even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory."
    This means they had to keep playing well until the game finished.

    Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends"
    Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"

    If you "hold out until the end", you are holding out until the point in time the game ends.

    Let's check Sense 5 again: "a final part or section". "go on until you come to the end". This is very similar to "hold out until the end". But Sense 5's example "end of the section" suggests a physical or structural end.

    Let's compare 2 and 3 one more time.
    2: point in time (the end of the year).
    3: concluding parts (the end was exciting).

    "Until the end" -> Until the point in time.

    Let's double-check. If I say "the end of the movie was boring", I'm using Sense 3. If I say "I stayed until the end of the movie", I'm using Sense 2.

    The context is "hold out until the end". This is like "stayed until the end".

    Final check:
    Sense 2: point in time.
    Sense 3: concluding parts.
    "Until the end" = until the point in time it ends.

    Wait, let me look at the examples for Sense 3 again: "I had to miss the last of the movie". This is a duration.
    "The end was exciting" - this is a duration.

    "Until the end" - this is a point in time.

    Therefore, 2 is the most likely answer.

    Wait, let me think about this again. Is "the end" in "until the end" a point in time or the final part?
    If you hold out *until* the end, you are holding out *through* the final part *until* the point it ends.
    But the word "until" specifically marks the limit, which is the point in time.

    Let's check Sense 2 again: "the point in time at which something ends".
    Example: "the end of the year".
    "Until the end of the year" - this is a very common phrase.

    Let's check Sense 3 again: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".
    Example: "the end was exciting".

    The phrase "until the end" fits the pattern of Sense 2.

Context: Baskonia gives away a victory in Israel Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses, and after the great performance by Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points), they now at the top of their group. The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of involvement and teamwork, even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory. Additionally, their huge success from the sidelines, with 16 three pointers scored, had a lot to do with the final triumph. The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start. As Vitora's first four <t>baskets</t> were from the perimeter, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists.

Senses:
1. definition=a container that is usually woven and has handles | synonyms=handbasket
2. definition=the quantity contained in a basket | synonyms=basketful
3. definition=horizontal circular metal hoop supporting a net through which players try to throw the basketball | synonyms=basketball hoop, hoop
4. definition=a score in basketball made by throwing the ball through the hoop | synonyms=field goal

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A sports report about a basketball game between Baskonia (Caja Laboral) and Maccabee Electra.
    *   Target word: "baskets" (marked as `<t>baskets</t>`).
    *   Sentence: "As Vitora's first four <t>baskets</t> were from the perimeter, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."

    *   Sense 1: A container (woven, handles). (Incorrect: This is a physical object, not related to scoring in a game).
    *   Sense 2: The quantity contained in a basket. (Incorrect: Not relevant here).
    *   Sense 3: The horizontal circular metal hoop (the physical goal). (Incorrect: The text says "first four baskets were from the perimeter," meaning they *scored* four times, not that they *were* hoops).
    *   Sense 4: A score in basketball made by throwing the ball through the hoop. (Correct: "first four baskets" refers to the points scored).

    *   The context is clearly about a basketball game.
    *   "Baskets from the perimeter" refers to successful shots (field goals).
    *   This matches Sense 4.

Senses:
1. definition=the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary | synonyms=margin, border

3. definition=the size of something as given by the distance around it | synonyms=circumference

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A basketball game report (Baskonia vs. Israel Caja Laboral/Maccabee Electra).
    *   Target word: "perimeter" in the sentence "As Vitora's first four baskets were from the <t>perimeter</t>, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   Meaning in context: In basketball, "perimeter" refers to the area outside the three-point line (the outer part of the court).

    *   Sense 1: "the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary | synonyms=margin, border"
    *   Sense 2: "a line enclosing a plane areas"
    *   Sense 3: "the size of something as given by the distance around it | synonyms=circumference"

    *   Sense 3 is about measurement (length). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2 is about the line itself (geometry). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 1 is about the boundary line or the area immediately inside/around the boundary. In basketball, the "perimeter" is the outer area of the court, effectively the area near the boundary/outer edges of the playing area (specifically outside the key/paint).

    *   While "perimeter" in basketball has a specific sporting meaning (the area outside the paint/three-point line), among the provided general dictionary definitions, Sense 1 ("the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary") is the closest fit, as it describes a region relative to the boundary/edge.

    *   Sense 1: Boundary line or area immediately inside.
    *   Sense 2: A line enclosing a plane area.
    *   Sense 3: The size (distance).

    In the context of "baskets from the perimeter," it refers to the outer area of the court. This aligns best with Sense 1 (the area near the boundary/outer edge).

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "As Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter, the <t>speculation</t> was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   Meaning: The author is saying that because the team started with four three-pointers, people began to *guess* or *suppose* that they were playing very well from the perimeter ("hot wrists").

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence" (guess, conjecture, supposition).
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)" (conjecture).
    *   Sense 3: "an investment that is very risky but could yield great profits" (venture).
    *   Sense 4: "continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature" (meditation).

    *   Sense 3 (investment) and Sense 4 (deep meditation) are clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 1 and Sense 2 are very similar.
        *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence" (guess, conjecture, supposition).
        *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing" (conjecture).
    *   Looking at the context: "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   This is a guess or a supposition based on the evidence of the first four baskets.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1 focuses on the *message* or the *act* of guessing.
        *   Sense 2 focuses on the *hypothesis* itself.
    *   In the sentence "the speculation was already that...", "speculation" refers to the idea/belief/guess that they had hot wrists. This fits "hypothesis" or "conjecture" (Sense 2) or "supposition" (Sense 1).
    *   Wait, let's look closer at the definitions provided.
        *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
        *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   In the context "the speculation was already that [clause]", the word "speculation" is acting as the subject, and the clause "that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists" is the content of that speculation. This is a hypothesis/conjecture.
    *   Is it a "message" (Sense 1)? Not necessarily a message sent from one person to another, but rather a general feeling or assumption.
    *   Is it a "hypothesis" (Sense 2)? Yes, it's a conclusion drawn from limited evidence (the first four baskets).

    *   Sense 1: guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise.
    *   Sense 2: conjecture.
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, these are very similar. Let's re-read the provided definitions carefully.
    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   The phrase "the speculation was that..." usually refers to the *idea* being speculated about. This aligns better with "hypothesis" (Sense 2).

    *   "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   This means "the guess was that..." or "the hypothesis was that...".
    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion..."
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed..."
    *   The "speculation" here is the *content* of the thought (the hypothesis), not the *message* conveying it.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   If I say "The speculation is that he will resign," I am referring to the hypothesis/conjecture that he will resign.

    *   Sense 1: guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise.
    *   Sense 2: conjecture.
    *   Wait, Sense 1 includes "guess" and "supposition".
    *   Let's look at the context again. "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   This is a classic use of "speculation" meaning a guess or conjecture.
    *   Between 1 and 2, 2 is more specific to the *result* of speculating (the hypothesis), while 1 is the *expression* of it (the message).
    *   Actually, looking at the provided definitions again, Sense 1 says "a message expressing an opinion". Sense 2 says "a hypothesis that has been formed".
    *   The sentence "the speculation was already that..." describes the *content* of the thought. This is a hypothesis.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   In the context "the speculation was already that...", it's the *idea* (the hypothesis) that they had hot wrists.

    *   Wait, let me double-check if "speculation" in this context is more of a "guess" (Sense 1) or a "hypothesis" (Sense 2).
    *   "The speculation was that..." is a very common way to introduce a conjecture.
    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion..."
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed..."
    *   If the "speculation" is the *thing* that "they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists", then it is the hypothesis itself.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   If I say "There is speculation that...", I mean there are people making guesses (Sense 1) or there is a hypothesis circulating (Sense 2).
    *   "The speculation was already that..."
    *   This sounds more like the hypothesis (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise.
    *   Sense 2: conjecture.
    *   These are almost identical. Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "speculations about the outcome of the election". This is very similar to "speculation that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists".

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   The "speculation" in the text is the *idea* that they had hot wrists. That is a hypothesis.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion..."
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed..."
    *   The sentence "the speculation was already that..." identifies the speculation *as* the hypothesis.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   If the speculation *is* the clause "that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists", it's the hypothesis.

    *   Sense 1: guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise.
    *   Sense 2: conjecture.
    *   Wait, if Sense 1 is "a message expressing an opinion", it's the *act* of communicating the guess.
    *   If Sense 2 is "a hypothesis", it's the *content* of the guess.
    *   In "the speculation was that...", the word "speculation" refers to the content.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   The context "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists" fits Sense 2 better because it's the hypothesis itself.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   Actually, looking at it again, "the speculation was that..." could be seen as "the guess was that...".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence".
    *   Is "the speculation" a "message"? Not really. It's an idea.
    *   Is "the speculation" a "hypothesis"? Yes.

    *   Sense 1: guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise.
    *   Sense 2: conjecture.
    *   Wait, "conjecture" is in both. This is tricky.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "speculations about the outcome of the election".
    *   This is almost exactly the same structure as "speculation that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists".

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   The "speculation" in the text is the *idea* (the hypothesis) that they had hot wrists.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   The sentence "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists" means "the hypothesis was already that...".

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"
    *   If I say "The speculation is that he's lying," the "speculation" is the hypothesis that he's lying.

        1. a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence | synonyms=guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise, surmisal, hypothesis
        2. a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence) | synonyms=conjecture

    *   In the context "the speculation was already that...", it refers to the *idea* or *belief* that they were playing well. This fits "hypothesis" or "conjecture" (Sense 2) or "guess/supposition" (Sense 1).

    *   Let's look at the subtle difference again.
        Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion..."
        Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed..."

    *   "The speculation was that..." is a very common way to introduce a hypothesis or a conjecture.

    *   Let's check common usage. "Speculation" meaning "the act of forming a theory without firm evidence" often aligns with Sense 1 or 2.
    *   If I have to choose between "a message expressing an opinion" and "a hypothesis that has been formed", "a hypothesis" (Sense 2) seems slightly more accurate for the *content* of the speculation ("that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists"). However, Sense 1 lists "guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise" as synonyms.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing".

    *   Actually, in many datasets (like WordNet), these are very close. Let's see if one fits better.
    *   "The speculation was that..." -> The conjecture was that...
    *   Sense 2's example: "speculations about the outcome of the election". This is very similar to "speculation that they had hot wrists".

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "a message expressing an opinion". Is "the speculation was that..." a message? Not necessarily. It's more of a general belief or hypothesis.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 seems like a stronger fit.

    *   Wait, let me look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise, surmisal, hypothesis".
    *   And Sense 2: "conjecture".

    *   This is tricky. Let's look at the context again. "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   This is a conjecture based on the evidence of the first four baskets.

    *   Let's try to see if Sense 1 is more about the *act* or the *statement* and Sense 2 is about the *idea*.
    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion"
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed"

    *   "The speculation was that..." refers to the hypothesis itself.

    *   Let's re-evaluate. If Sense 1 is "a message", it's more like "The speculation in the press was that...". If Sense 2 is "a hypothesis", it's the idea itself.

    *   Let's look at the provided options again.
        1. a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence
        2. a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing

    *   In the sentence "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists", "speculation" refers to the idea/hypothesis.

    *   Let's check if there's any other interpretation. Could it be Sense 1? "The speculation [the guess/supposition] was already that..."

    *   Comparing Sense 1 and 2 again:
        Sense 1: message expressing an opinion.
        Sense 2: hypothesis formed by speculating.

    *   "The speculation was that [X]" is a standard way to introduce a hypothesis.

    *   Let's search for this specific sentence or similar ones. It looks like a translation from Spanish ("la especulación ya era que..."). In Spanish, "especulación" in this context means "conjecture" or "guess".

    *   Between 1 and 2, 2 is more specifically about the hypothesis formed. 1 is about the message expressing it.

    *   Let's try Sense 2.

    *   Wait, let me look at the synonyms for Sense 1 again: "guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise, surmisal, hypothesis". These are almost exactly what "speculation" means here.
    *   Sense 2 synonyms: "conjecture".

    *   Actually, looking at the definitions again, Sense 1 is "a message expressing an opinion" and Sense 2 is "a hypothesis that has been formed".

    *   If I say "The speculation is that he will resign," is that a "message" or a "hypothesis"? It's a hypothesis.

    *   Let's double-check the source of these definitions. They look like they might be from a dictionary like WordNet.
    *   WordNet:
        speculation (n):
        1. a hypothesis that is formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)
        2. the act of speculating or conjecturing
        3. the act of investing in risky ventures in the hope of gain
        4. meditation

    *   Wait, the provided senses are slightly different.
        Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
        Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing"

    *   If Sense 2 is "a hypothesis", it fits "the speculation was that...".

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence". This sounds more like a specific statement.

    *   Let's consider the context again: "As Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."
    *   This means "people were already guessing that...". The "speculation" here is the conjecture/hypothesis itself.

    *   Final check:
        Sense 1: message expressing an opinion.
        Sense 2: hypothesis formed by speculating.
        Sense 3: risky investment.
        Sense 4: profound contemplation.

    *   Sense 2 is the most accurate.

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

Context: Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses, and after the great performance by Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points), they now at the top of their group. The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of involvement and teamwork, even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory. Additionally, their huge success from the sidelines, with 16 three pointers scored, had a lot to do with the final triumph. The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start. As Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists. English and Teletovic were the main <t>scorers</t> of the 18-20 at the end of the first period. The second quarter was more of the same, but the Alavan team opted for the inside game of Barac and the work of Eliyahu, who was greeted with whistles and applause at his return home, to continue increasing their lead by half-time (34-43).

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "English and Teletovic were the main scorers of the 18-20 at the <t>end</t> of the first period."
    *   Target word: "end"
    *   Contextual meaning: The point in time when the first period of the game finished.

    *   Sense 1: Either extremity of something that has length (physical length). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: The point in time at which something ends (e.g., end of the year). (Strong candidate)
    *   Sense 3: The concluding parts of an event or occurrence (e.g., the end was exciting). (Close, but usually refers to the final phase/segment rather than the specific point in time).
    *   Sense 4: Goal/objective. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: A final part or section (e.g., end of the section). (Possible, but "point in time" fits better for a time period).
    *   Sense 6: Final state (death/destruction). (Incorrect)
