Another firm that sponsored the dinner, Jones Day, represents one of the trade associations that challenged the law, the National Federation of Independent Business. Another sponsor was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, which has an enormous financial stake in the outcome of the litigation. The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case.

2. definition=a prolonged period of time | synonyms=long time, age | examples=we've known each other for ages; I haven't been there for years and years
3. definition=the time during which someone's life continues | synonyms=days | examples=the monarch's last days; in his final years

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for <t>years</t>."
    *   Target word: "years"

    *   Sense 1: Late time of life (old age).
    *   Sense 2: A prolonged period of time (long time, age).
    *   Sense 3: The time during which someone's life continues (lifespan).

    *   Sense 6: Planetary revolution around the sun.
    *   Sense 7: A graduating class.

    *   "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years."
    *   In this context, "for years" means "for a long time." It doesn't literally mean a specific number of 365-day periods (though it implies them), but rather emphasizes the duration as being prolonged.

        *   Sense 4: "she is 4 years old" (counting specific units).

    *   Target word: "rules" (plural of "rule").
    *   Contextual clues: "ethics rules", "runs afoul of", "Code of Conduct", "governs the actions".

    *   Sense 1: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 2: something regarded as a normative example (synonym: convention, normal).
    *   Sense 3: prescribed guide for conduct or action (synonym: prescript).

    *   Sense 12: measuring stick (ruler).

    *   The context refers to "ethics rules" and a "Code of Conduct" that "governs the actions" of justices.
    *   This fits the idea of regulations or prescribed guides for behavior.
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation".
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript".

    *   Sense 1 mentions "regulation" and "governs behavior".
    *   Sense 3 mentions "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   In the context of "ethics rules" and "Code of Conduct", these are formal regulations.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation". The first example is a personal habit, the second is a formal regulation.
    *   Looking at Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Often, "ethics rules" are formal regulations.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "regulation" (Sense 1) is a closer fit for formal "rules" like ethics rules than "prescript" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 8 is for games/sports.
    *   Sense 9 is for religious orders.
    *   Sense 1 is the most general for regulations governing behavior.

    *   "Ethics rules" are regulations.
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation".
    *   This matches perfectly.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again. "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Is there a nuance between "regulation" and "prescript"?
    *   A regulation is often a formal rule. A prescript is also a rule.
    *   However, "ethics rules" in a legal/professional context are almost always referred to as regulations.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "short haircuts were the regulation". This is a formal rule.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "runs afoul of ethics rules". This implies a set of formal regulations.

    *   Sense 1: regulation.
    *   Sense 3: prescript.
    *   In most NLP datasets (like WordNet), "regulation" is the primary sense for this usage.

    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation"
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript"
    *   "Ethics rules" are regulations. Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 8: "a judicial proceeding brought by one party against another" - This is "legal action." While the context is legal, the "Code of Conduct" governs how judges *behave* (their actions), not the lawsuits they preside over.
    *   Sense 9: "an act by a government body or supranational organization" - This refers to official policy or legislative acts. While judges are part of the government, "actions of lower federal justices" in a Code of Conduct context usually refers to their personal and professional conduct.
    *   Sense 10: "the most important or interesting work or activity" - Doesn't fit.

    *   The sentence says the Code of Conduct governs the "actions" of lower federal justices.
    *   A Code of Conduct typically regulates behavior (what people do).
    *   Sense 1 ("something done") is the most general and accurate description of behavior/conduct.
    *   Sense 8 ("judicial proceeding") is a specific legal term for a lawsuit. The Code of Conduct doesn't govern the lawsuits themselves, but the behavior of the judge *during* or *outside* of them.
    *   Sense 9 ("an act by a government body") usually refers to official decrees or laws.

    *   Sense 1: "something done" -> "the things done by lower federal justices." This fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 5 is the *document* (the physical program).
    *   Sense 8 is the *performance/schedule* of the event itself.
    *   "Featured on the program" usually means being part of the scheduled activities/performances of the event.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 8: "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation".
    *   In the context of a fund-raising dinner, being "featured on the program" means being listed as a speaker or performer in the schedule of the evening.
    *   Wait, looking at Sense 5 again: "an announcement of the events". If you are "featured on the program", you are listed in that announcement.
    *   Looking at Sense 8 again: "a performance (or series of performances)".
    *   Usually, "the program" in the context of an event can mean both the physical booklet and the planned sequence of events.
    *   Let's compare: "featured on the program" vs "featured in the program".
    *   "Featured on the program" often refers to the schedule of events (Sense 8).
    *   Let's check common usage. "The program for the evening includes..." (Sense 8). "I read the program to see who was playing" (Sense 5).
    *   In the phrase "featured on the program of such an event", it refers to the planned sequence of activities/speakers.

    *   Sense 5: "an announcement of the events..." (The physical thing).
    *   Sense 8: "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation".
    *   If a judge is "featured on the program", they are part of the scheduled activities.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 5: "you can't tell the players without a program". (Physical booklet).
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 8: "the program lasted more than two hours". (The duration of the event's activities).
    *   "Featured on the program" aligns more with the schedule/sequence of events (Sense 8) than the physical booklet (Sense 5), although they are closely related. However, "featured on" often points to the content/schedule.

    *Self-Correction:* Let's re-evaluate. If you are "featured on the program", you are part of the planned sequence of events. Sense 8 describes the performance/series of performances. Sense 5 describes the announcement.
    Actually, in many dictionaries, the "schedule of events" is grouped with the "announcement of events".
    Let's look at the options again.
    Sense 5: announcement of events.
    Sense 8: a performance (or series of performances).

    If the judge is a "speaker" or "guest of honor", they are part of the *performance/presentation* of the event.
    "Featured on the program" -> listed as part of the scheduled activities.

    Let's try to see if Sense 5 fits better. "Featured on the program" (the booklet).
    Let's try to see if Sense 8 fits better. "Featured on the program" (the schedule of events).

    In the context of "speaker, guest of honor, or featured on the program", it's talking about the role the person plays in the event's proceedings. This points strongly to Sense 8 (the series of performances/presentations).

    *Wait*, let me double-check Sense 5 again. "an announcement of the events that will occur". If you are "featured on the program", you are listed in that announcement.

    Let's look at the phrasing "featured on the program".
    If I am "on the program", I am scheduled to speak/perform.
    If I am "in the program", I am listed in the booklet.
    "On the program" usually refers to the schedule (Sense 8).

    Sense 8: "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation".
    This fits the idea of the scheduled activities of the fund-raising dinner.

    Let's double-check Sense 5 one more time. "an announcement of the events".
    If the text said "featured *in* the program", Sense 5 would be more likely. "Featured *on* the program" suggests the schedule of events.

    Let's compare with other sources.
    Oxford Learner's Dictionary:
    Program (noun):
    1. a planned series of events... (Sense 8)
    2. a small book or leaflet... (Sense 5)

    The context "featured on the program" most likely refers to the planned series of events.

    Sense 8: "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation".
    This matches "a planned series of events".

    Let's check Sense 5 again: "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event".
    The fund-raising dinner is a "public presentation" or "event".

    Is a fund-raising dinner a "performance"? Not exactly, but the "program" of the dinner (the sequence of speeches, meals, and awards) is a series of presentations.

    Let's re-read the sentence: "...the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event."
    This means the judge cannot be one of the people scheduled to appear or be recognized during the event's proceedings. This aligns with Sense 8.

    Sense 1: Plan/goals (No)
    Sense 2: Public service system (No)
    Sense 3: TV/Radio show (No)
    Sense 4: Political platform (No)
    Sense 5: Announcement/Booklet (Possible, but "on the program" usually means the schedule)
    Sense 6: Academic course (No)
    Sense 7: Computer code (No)
    Sense 8: Performance/Series of performances (Best fit for the schedule of an event)

    Wait, let me think about Sense 5 again. "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event".
    Is a fund-raising dinner a "theatrical or sporting event"? No.
    Is it a "public presentation"? Yes.
    Sense 8 says "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation".
    This fits "fund-raising event" better than "theatrical or sporting event".

    Therefore, Sense 8 is the most accurate.

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

Context: In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an <t>event</t>." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists.

Senses:
1. definition=something that happens at a given place and time
2. definition=a special set of circumstances | synonyms=case | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled
3. definition=a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time; the fundamental observational entity in relativity theory
4. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, result, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise; his decision had depressing consequences for business

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an <t>event</t>."
    *   Target word: "event"
    *   Surrounding context: "fund-raising events", "attend", "speaker", "guest of honor", "program".

    *   Sense 1: "something that happens at a given place and time" (e.g., a party, a conference, a game).
    *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" (e.g., "in that event").
    *   Sense 3: "a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time" (physics/relativity).
    *   Sense 4: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (consequence/result).

    *   The text refers to "fund-raising events" and mentions attending them, having a program, and being a speaker or guest of honor.
    *   This clearly describes a social or organized gathering that happens at a specific place and time.
    *   This matches Sense 1.

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

Context: The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years.

"This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause.

Senses:
1. definition=the property of being close together | synonyms=propinquity

    *   Target word: "proximity"
    *   Meaning in context: The closeness (social, professional, or relational) of the justices to specific law firms and a company. It refers to the state of being close or having a close relationship.

    *   Sense 1: "the property of being close together" (synonym: propinquity). This can be physical or metaphorical (closeness in relationship/connection).
    *   Sense 2: "the region close around a person or thing" (e.g., "within the proximity of the building").
    *   Sense 3: "a Gestalt principle of organization..." (psychology term).

    *   Sense 3 is a specific psychological principle. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2 refers to a physical area/region. The text isn't talking about a physical region around the justices, but rather their relationship/connection to the firms.
    *   Sense 1 refers to the state/property of being close. In this context, "proximity" is used metaphorically to mean a close association or relationship. "Propinquity" often covers both physical and social closeness.

    *   The phrase "proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms" describes the *fact* or *state* of them being close (associated) with those firms. This fits Sense 1.

4. definition=the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern | synonyms=nonchalance, unconcern

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "This stunning breach of ethics and <t>indifference</t> to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar...
    *   The word "indifference" is used to describe the justices' attitude toward the "code" (Code of Conduct).
    *   The context suggests a lack of care, disregard, or failure to follow rules, which is seen as a "breach of ethics."

    *   Sense 1: "unbiased impartial unconcern" (This usually refers to neutrality, like a judge being indifferent to both sides).
    *   Sense 2: "apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions" (This is about emotional numbness/flatness).
    *   Sense 3: "the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally" (General apathy/spiritlessness).
    *   Sense 4: "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern" (Nonchalance, unconcern).

    *   The speaker (Bob Edgar) is criticizing the justices for ignoring or not caring about the ethics code.
    *   Sense 1 (impartiality) doesn't fit because the context is about *disregarding* rules, not being fair.
    *   Sense 2 (emotional numbness) doesn't fit because it's not about their emotional state, but their behavior regarding rules.
    *   Sense 3 (general lack of enthusiasm) doesn't fit because it's specific to the code, not a general personality trait.
    *   Sense 4 (casual lack of concern/unconcern) fits best. "Indifference to the code" means they didn't care about the rules or showed a lack of concern for them.

    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 1. "unbiased impartial unconcern". In some contexts, "indifference" means neutrality. But here, it's "indifference *to* the code". You aren't "impartial" to a code of conduct; you either follow it or you don't.
    *   Sense 4: "a casual lack of concern". This aligns with the idea of ignoring or disregarding rules.

    *   Sense 1: Impartiality (e.g., "The judge's indifference to the parties involved ensured a fair trial").
    *   Sense 2: Emotional apathy (e.g., "His indifference to the tragedy was chilling").
    *   Sense 3: General lack of interest (e.g., "A general indifference to politics").
    *   Sense 4: Lack of concern/nonchalance (e.g., "His indifference to the danger was alarming").

    In the context "indifference to the code", it means they didn't care about the rules. This is a "lack of concern".

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Is there a better fit?
    "Breach of ethics and indifference to the code" -> They broke the rules and didn't seem to care that they were doing it. This is a lack of concern.

    Sense 4 is the most accurate.

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

Context: It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several <t>justices</t> that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of being just or fair | synonyms=justness
2. definition=judgment involved in the determination of rights and the assignment of rewards and punishments
3. definition=a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice | synonyms=judge, jurist
4. definition=the United States federal department responsible for enforcing federal laws (including the enforcement of all civil rights legislation); created in 1870 | synonyms=Department of Justice, Justice Department, DoJ
