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

Context: 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 scorers of the 18-20 at the end of the first period. The second <t>quarter</t> 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). Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian.

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

Senses:
1. definition=the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture | synonyms=whistling
2. definition=the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle | synonyms=whistling | examples=the whistle signalled the end of the game

4. definition=acoustic device that forces air or steam against an edge or into a cavity and so produces a loud shrill sound
5. definition=an inexpensive fipple flute | synonyms=pennywhistle, tin whistle

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...the work of Eliyahu, who was greeted with <t>whistles</t> and applause at his return home..."
    *   Target word: "whistles"
    *   Contextual clues: "greeted with whistles and applause", "return home".

    *   Sense 1: Sound made by something moving rapidly or steam (e.g., wind whistling).
    *   Sense 2: The act of signaling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle.
    *   Sense 3: A small wind instrument.
    *   Sense 4: Acoustic device (like a steam whistle).
    *   Sense 5: An inexpensive fipple flute.

    *   The context says Eliyahu was "greeted with whistles and applause".
    *   In sports contexts (especially in Europe/Spain/Israel, as mentioned "Israeli net", "Vitorian team"), "whistles" (silbidos in Spanish, for example) often refers to booing or whistling to show disapproval, or sometimes just loud noise.
    *   Wait, looking at the provided senses:
        1. Sound of movement/steam.
        2. Act of signaling/summoning.
        3. Instrument.
        4. Device.
        5. Fipple flute.

    *   None of these senses explicitly mention "booing" or "expressing disapproval".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2: "the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture".

    *   Wait, is there a missing sense? Or is "whistles" here used as a plural noun referring to the *sound* produced by people whistling?
    *   If people are whistling at a player, they are making a whistling sound.
    *   Sense 2 describes the *act* of signaling.
    *   Sense 1 describes a specific type of sound (rapid movement/steam).

    *   Let's look at the phrase "greeted with whistles and applause". This is a common translation from Spanish ("silbidos y aplausos"). In Spanish, "silbidos" means whistling, often used to express disapproval (booing).
    *   In English, "whistling" can be the act or the sound.
    *   Looking at the provided senses again:
        1. Sound (rapid movement/steam) - No.
        2. Act of signaling (summoning) - No.
        3. Instrument - No.
        4. Device - No.
        5. Fipple flute - No.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2: "the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle".
    *   Is booing a form of signaling? Not really.
    *   Is there another interpretation?
    *   Maybe the "whistles" are the sounds made by the crowd.
    *   If I have to choose from the provided list, which one fits best?
    *   Sense 1 is about wind/steam.
    *   Sense 2 is about signaling.
    *   Senses 3, 4, 5 are objects.

    *   Let's think about the word "whistle" as a noun.
    *   "The whistle signalled the end of the game" (Sense 2).
    *   "Greeted with whistles" -> The sounds produced by people whistling.
    *   Is "the act of signalling" (Sense 2) the closest? Or is it a sound?
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "whistle" as a noun can mean the sound made by whistling.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "the act of signalling... by whistling".
    *   If the crowd is whistling, they are performing the act of whistling.

    *   Let's double-check if "whistle" in "greeted with whistles" could be Sense 2.
    *   If you are greeted with "whistles", you are being greeted with the *sounds* of people whistling.
    *   Sense 2 says "the act of signalling... by whistling".
    *   This is tricky because none of the definitions perfectly match "booing/whistling for disapproval". However, "whistling" (the act) is the core of Sense 2.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture". This is definitely not it.
    *   Senses 3, 4, 5 are physical objects.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the only one that involves the human action of whistling.

    *   Context: "greeted with whistles and applause"
    *   Sense 2: "the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle"
    *   While "signalling" isn't exactly "booing", the mechanism (whistling) is the same. In many translation contexts (especially from Romance languages), "whistles" in a stadium refers to the sound of the crowd whistling.

    *   Is there any other possibility?
    *   Could it be Sense 1? No.
    *   Could it be Sense 3, 4, or 5? No, they were not greeted with physical flutes.

    *   Conclusion: Sense 2 is the most plausible among the choices, as it's the only one referring to the human act of whistling.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 2 again. "the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle".
    *   Is there any other sense of "whistle" that means "a sound made by a person"?
    *   Usually, "whistle" (noun) can mean:
        1. The instrument.
        2. The sound made by the instrument or by a person.
        3. The act of making that sound.

    *   Sense 2 covers "the act of signalling... by whistling".
    *   If the crowd is whistling to show disapproval, they are signaling their disapproval.

    *   Let's check if "whistles" could be Sense 1. "the sound made by something moving rapidly...". No.

    *   Final check:
        Context: "greeted with whistles and applause"
        Sense 1: Wind/Steam sound.
        Sense 2: Act of signaling by whistling.
        Sense 3: Instrument.
        Sense 4: Device.
        Sense 5: Fipple flute.

    *   Sense 2 is the only one that fits the human action.

    *   Target word: "home"
    *   Contextual clues: "Eliyahu", "greeted with whistles and applause at his return home". This suggests a player returning to a place where he previously played or lived, likely a city or a team's home ground.

    *   Sense 1: where you live at a particular time (place).

    *   Sense 1 is very general ("where you live").
    *   Sense 3 is "the country or state or city where you live".
    *   Looking at the context, Eliyahu is returning to a place (likely the city or the team's home court) where he is known.

        *   Sense 1: "deliver the package to my home" (specific residence).
        *   Sense 3: "his home is New Jersey" (city/state/country).
    *   In sports, "returning home" usually refers to the city or the general area/club rather than a specific house.
    *   Let's re-read: "...greeted with whistles and applause at his return home". This implies a public setting (the stadium), not his private residence.
    *   Sense 3 fits best as it refers to the city/state/country.

    *   Wait, let me double-check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time".
    *   Sense 3: "the country or state or city where you live".
    *   If he's returning to the city where he used to live or play, Sense 3 is the most accurate description of "home" in this context.

    *   Context: Eliyahu returning to a place where he is greeted by a crowd.
    *   Sense 3: "the country or state or city where you live".
    *   This matches the usage of "home" as a geographic region/city.

Context: 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 scorers 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). Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his <t>team</t> with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A sports report about a basketball game.
    *   Target word: "night" in the phrase "...it wasn't going to be the best <t>night</t> for the Brazilian."
    *   Meaning in context: The "night" refers to the duration of the basketball game/event taking place during the evening.

    *   Sense 1: the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside (General time of day).
    *   Sense 2: a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom (Metaphorical).
    *   Sense 3: the period spent sleeping (Sleep).
    *   Sense 4: the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit (Counting nights).
    *   Sense 5: darkness (The state of being dark).
    *   Sense 6: a shortening of nightfall (From morning to night).
    *   Sense 7: the time between sunset and midnight (Evening/Nighttime activities).
    *   Sense 8: Roman goddess of night (Mythology).

    *   The sentence "it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian" refers to the specific evening/time period during which the game was played.
    *   In sports contexts, "a bad night" or "a great night" usually refers to the performance during that specific evening's event.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 7:
        *   Sense 1 is the general definition of nighttime.
        *   Sense 7 is "the time between sunset and midnight," often used for activities occurring in the evening.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside".
    *   Actually, in common usage, "a bad night" in sports often refers to the *event* happening during that time.
    *   Let's re-evaluate the senses provided.
    *   Sense 1: General nighttime.
    *   Sense 7: The time between sunset and midnight.
    *   Is there a sense for "an evening's event"? Not explicitly.
    *   Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WordNet), "night" in "a bad night" (meaning a bad evening/game) maps to the general time of day or the specific period of the evening.
    *   Let's look at the options again.
    *   Sense 1: nighttime, dark.
    *   Sense 7: the time between sunset and midnight.
    *   If a game is played at 8 PM, it's during the "night" (Sense 1 or 7).
    *   However, "a bad night" often implies the duration of the event.
    *   Let's check if any other sense fits better.
    *   Sense 3 (sleeping) - No.
    *   Sense 4 (time unit) - No.
    *   Sense 5 (darkness) - No.
    *   Sense 6 (nightfall) - No.
    *   Sense 2 (ignorance) - No.
    *   Sense 8 (goddess) - No.

    *   Between 1 and 7:
        *   Sense 1 is the most general.
        *   Sense 7 is more specific to the evening.
        *   In most dictionary/sense-tagging datasets (like WordNet), "night" as in "a bad night" (the experience of that evening) is often categorized under the general time of day (Sense 1).
        *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 7: "he watched television every night". This is a habit during the evening.
        *   Let's look at Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise".
        *   Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 1 is the most standard definition for the time period.

    *   Wait, let me think about "a bad night" again. Does it mean the *time* or the *experience*? It's a metonymy where the time period stands for the events occurring within it.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 7 again.
    *   Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside"
    *   Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight"
    *   Usually, sports games are played in the evening (between sunset and midnight).
    *   However, "night" in "a bad night" is almost always Sense 1 in these types of datasets unless a more specific "evening" sense is provided.
    *   Let's double-check if Sense 1 is the intended answer.
    *   If I say "I had a bad night," it could mean I didn't sleep well (Sense 3) or that things went poorly during the evening (Sense 1).
    *   In the context of a basketball game, it's definitely not about sleep. It's about the performance during the game.
    *   The game is the event of the night.
    *   Sense 1 is the most encompassing definition for the time period.

    *   Sense 1: General nighttime.
    *   Sense 7: Sunset to midnight.
    *   Is there a distinction in the provided list that makes 1 better than 7?
    *   Sense 7's example "he watched television every night" suggests a recurring evening activity.
    *   Sense 1 is the basic definition.
    *   In the context of "it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian," it refers to the specific instance of that night's game.
    *   Most likely Sense 1.

    *   Context: Basketball game.
    *   Phrase: "wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian."
    *   Meaning: The performance during the game played that night.
    *   Sense 1: the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside.
    *   Sense 7: the time between sunset and midnight.
    *   Actually, looking at the options again, Sense 1 is the most general and common mapping for this usage.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight".
    *   And Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside".
    *   If the game is played at 8 PM, it fits both. But "night" in "a bad night" usually refers to the whole period of the evening's activities.
    *   Let's consider if it could be Sense 4 (time unit). "three nights later". No.
    *   Let's consider Sense 1 again. It's the most standard.

    *   (Self-correction): In many WordNet-based tasks, "night" as in "a bad night" (meaning the evening's events) is mapped to the general sense of the time of day.

    *   Sense 1: General time.
    *   Sense 7: Sunset to midnight.
    *   If the game is the "night", it's the period of time.
    *   Let's go with 1. (Actually, looking at the options, 1 is the most fundamental definition).

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 7 again. "the time between sunset and midnight". This is often what people mean by "tonight" or "the night" when referring to an event.
    *   However, Sense 1 is the overarching definition.
    *   Let's try to see if there's any nuance.
    *   "The game started out... the speculation was... English and Teletovic were the main scorers... the second quarter was more of the same... it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian."
    *   The "night" here is the duration of the game.
    *   Sense 1 is the most likely intended answer.

Senses:
1. definition=the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit) | synonyms=pressure level, force per unit area | examples=the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure
2. definition=a force that compels | examples=the public brought pressure to bear on the government

6. definition=an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress
7. definition=the pressure exerted by the atmosphere | synonyms=atmospheric pressure, air pressure

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A sports report about a basketball game (Azulgranas vs. Maccabees).
    *   Sentence: "...and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the <t>pressure</t> on, they managed to get involved in the game."
    *   Meaning: In a sports context, "putting the pressure on" usually means applying psychological or strategic stress to the opponent to force mistakes or regain control of the game.

    *   Sense 1: Physical force per unit area (physics). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: A force that compels (e.g., public pressure on government). (Close, but usually refers to external influence/coercion).
    *   Sense 3: The act of pressing (physical action). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: State of demanding notice or attention. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: Somatic sensation (touch). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 6: An oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress. (This covers mental/psychological stress/tension).
    *   Sense 7: Atmospheric pressure. (Incorrect)

    *   "Putting the pressure on" in sports is a form of mental/psychological stress applied to the opponent.
    *   Sense 2 ("a force that compels") is often used for political or social pressure.
    *   Sense 6 ("an oppressive condition of physical or mental... distress") fits the feeling of being "under pressure" in a high-stakes game.

    *Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 6.*
    *   Sense 2: "a force that compels" -> "the public brought pressure to bear on the government".
    *   Sense 6: "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress".

    In sports, "putting the pressure on" means creating a situation where the opponent feels stressed or forced to make a mistake. This is a form of mental distress/tension.

    Let's look at common dictionary definitions for "pressure" in sports:
    - "the state of feeling stressed" (Sense 6)
    - "the act of trying to persuade or force someone to do something" (Sense 2)

    In the context "putting the pressure on", it means applying a force (strategic/mental) that compels the opponent to react or makes them feel distressed.

    Actually, looking at Sense 2 again: "a force that compels". If you put pressure on someone in a game, you are compelling them to make a mistake or react in a certain way.
    Looking at Sense 6: "an oppressive condition of... mental... distress".

    Usually, "putting the pressure on" is an active process (Sense 2) leading to a state of being under pressure (Sense 6).

    Let's compare:
    - "The public brought pressure to bear on the government" (Sense 2)
    - "The player put the pressure on the defense" (Similar structure to the example in Sense 2).

    Let's check Sense 6 again: "an oppressive condition of... mental... distress". This is more about the *state* of being under pressure.

    The phrase "putting the pressure on" implies the *application* of that force.

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "a force that compels".
    Let's re-read Sense 6: "an oppressive condition...".

    In the sentence "putting the pressure on", "pressure" is the thing being applied. This aligns better with "a force that compels" (Sense 2).

    Wait, let me double-check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 4: "the state of demanding notice or attention". (No)

    Let's look at the phrase "put the pressure on" in a dictionary.
    Cambridge: "to try to make someone do something by using threats or by making them feel worried".
    Oxford: "to try to persuade or force someone to do something".

    This matches "a force that compels" (Sense 2) much better than "an oppressive condition" (Sense 6).

    Context: "...with the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved in the game."
    This means Elias's performance forced the other team into a difficult position or compelled a change in the game's momentum.

    Sense 2: "a force that compels".
    Sense 6: "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress".

    If I say "I am under pressure", that's Sense 6.
    If I say "I am putting pressure on him", that's Sense 2.

    The text says "putting the pressure on".

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the most accurate.

    *   Is "get involved in the game" referring to the specific match (Sense 2) or the general activity of playing (Sense 1)?

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

Context: 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). Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian. But the game, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decidedand the Maccabees tried to remind the Vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court, and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved in the game. Eidson and Pnini played a decisive role in the "yellows'" return to the light. More disadvantages Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the <t>help</t> of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67). The Alavas worked themselves to the bone in the last period, and English and San Emeterio (65-75) had already made it clear that they were not going to let anyone take away what they had earned during the first thirty minutes.

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose | synonyms=aid, assist, assistance | examples=he gave me an assist with the housework; could not walk without assistance
2. definition=a person who contributes to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose | synonyms=assistant, helper, supporter | examples=my invaluable assistant; they hired additional help to finish the work
3. definition=a resource | synonyms=aid, assistance | examples=visual aids in teaching
4. definition=a means of serving | synonyms=avail, service | examples=of no avail; there's no help for it

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the <t>help</t> of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead..."
    *   Target word: "help"
    *   Surrounding words: "...and the help of English and Ribas..."

    *   Sense 1: The activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose (aid, assist, assistance).
    *   Sense 2: A person who contributes to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose (assistant, helper, supporter).
    *   Sense 3: A resource (aid, assistance).
    *   Sense 4: A means of serving (avail, service).

    *   The sentence says "the help of English and Ribas".
    *   English and Ribas are players (people).
    *   Does "help" refer to the *activity* of assisting (Sense 1) or the *people* who are assisting (Sense 2)?
    *   "The help of [Person A] and [Person B]" usually refers to the assistance provided by them (the activity/contribution).
    *   Let's test Sense 2: "the assistants of English and Ribas" (Doesn't fit; English and Ribas *are* the ones helping).
    *   Let's test Sense 1: "the assistance of English and Ribas" (Fits perfectly).

    *   Sense 1: "the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose". In this case, the effort is bringing the scoreboard back to a lead.
    *   Sense 2: "a person who contributes...". If it were Sense 2, it would be "English and Ribas were the help". But the phrase is "the help of English and Ribas".

    *   "The help of [someone]" almost always refers to the assistance (Sense 1) provided by that person, not the person themselves (Sense 2). If it meant the people, it would likely be "with English and Ribas as help" or "with the help [meaning assistants] provided by...". However, in the phrase "the help of X", "help" is the noun for the assistance given.

    *   Sense 1: activity/assistance.
    *   Sense 2: person/assistant.
    *   Sense 3: resource.
    *   Sense 4: means of serving.

    The context "the help of English and Ribas" refers to the assistance they provided.

    Wait, let me double-check.
    "with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back..."
    This means Teletovic scored, and English and Ribas assisted/contributed. The "help" is the assistance they gave.

    Is it possible it's Sense 2? "the help [people] of English and Ribas"? No, that doesn't make sense. English and Ribas are the ones helping.

    Is it Sense 3? "a resource"? Not typically used for people in this way.

    Is it Sense 4? "a means of serving"? No.

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the most accurate.
