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

Context: This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level <t>officials</t> such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

    *   Sense 3: Diplomat representing one government to another (below ambassador). -> While they are in international negotiations, "vice minister" usually refers to a government position within the home country's executive branch, not specifically a diplomatic rank like a "Minister" (the rank) in a foreign embassy.
    *   Sense 4: The job/office itself (the role of a head of department). -> The context refers to the *person* ("the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes"), not the job title as an abstract entity.

    *   The text mentions "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" and "the Chinese vice minister". These are government officials.
    *   Sense 2 defines a "person appointed to a high office in the government".

Senses:
1. definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages
2. definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims
3. definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day

5. definition=an established or recognized right | synonyms=title | examples=a strong legal claim to the property; he had no documents confirming his title to his father's estate
6. definition=a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out <t>claims</t> that will be arbitrated over the next week."
    *   Target word: "claims"
    *   Key phrase: "stake out claims that will be arbitrated"

    *   Sense 1: an assertion of a right (as to money or property) - Example: "his claim asked for damages"
    *   Sense 2: an assertion that something is true or factual - Example: "his claim that he was innocent"
    *   Sense 3: demand for something as rightful or due - Example: "claim for a shorter work day"
    *   Sense 4: an informal right to something - Example: "his claim on her attentions"
    *   Sense 5: an established or recognized right - Example: "a strong legal claim to the property"
    *   Sense 6: a demand especially in the phrase (call of duty)

    *   The phrase "stake out claims" is an idiom. To "stake out a claim" originally refers to marking a piece of land to claim ownership (like in the gold rush).
    *   In this political context, the officials are asserting their positions, rights, or demands regarding the climate treaty.
    *   The text says these claims "will be arbitrated." Arbitration usually involves resolving disputes over rights, demands, or assertions of what is due.
    *   Looking at the senses:
        *   Sense 1 (assertion of a right to money/property) is close, but this is political/diplomatic, not necessarily monetary.
        *   Sense 2 (assertion of truth) doesn't fit "stake out claims" or "arbitrated" as well as a demand or right.
        *   Sense 3 (demand for something as rightful or due) fits well. They are demanding certain terms in the treaty.
        *   Sense 4/5 (informal/established right) doesn't fit "stake out" (which is the act of *making* the claim).
        *   Sense 6 (call of duty) doesn't fit.

    *   "Stake out a claim" often means to assert a right or a position.
    *   Sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)".
    *   Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   In the context of international negotiations, they are asserting their positions/demands on what they believe they are entitled to or what the treaty should look like.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    *   Sense 1 is often used for legal claims (damages).
    *   Sense 3 is often used for demands (shorter work day).
    *   "Stake out a claim" is very similar to asserting a right.
    *   Wait, let's look at the phrase "stake out a claim" specifically. It usually means to declare one's position or right to something.
    *   If they are "staking out claims" that will be "arbitrated," they are asserting their rights or demands regarding the outcome of the negotiations.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3 again:
        *   Sense 1: assertion of a right (as to money or property).
        *   Sense 3: demand for something as rightful or due.
    *   In a treaty negotiation, countries make demands for what they believe is rightful (e.g., financial aid, emission targets). This aligns well with Sense 3.
    *   However, "stake out a claim" is a very specific metaphor for asserting a right to a territory or position.
    *   Let's check if "assertion of a right" (Sense 1) is broader than just money/property. The example "his claim asked for damages" is specific, but the definition is "an assertion of a right".
    *   Let's check Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   In the context of "staking out claims" in a negotiation, they are asserting their positions/rights.
    *   Actually, looking at the options again, Sense 1 is "an assertion of a right". Sense 3 is "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   "Stake out a claim" is almost always an assertion of a right.
    *   Let's look at the phrase "stake out a claim" in a dictionary. It means to declare one's right to something.
    *   Between 1 and 3, 1 is "assertion of a right" and 3 is "demand for something".
    *   In the context of the sentence, they are asserting their positions/rights to be arbitrated.
    *   Let's re-read: "stake out claims that will be arbitrated".
    *   Arbitration is the process of settling a dispute. Disputes are often over "claims" in the sense of assertions of right.
    *   Sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)".
    *   Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   Is a political position a "right" or a "demand"? It's more of a demand/position.
    *   Wait, "stake out a claim" is a very common idiom. Let's see how it's usually categorized.
    *   If I "stake out a claim" to be the leader, I am asserting my right.
    *   If I "stake out a claim" in a negotiation, I am asserting my position/right.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "his claim asked for damages" (legal/financial).
    *   Sense 3: "claim for a shorter work day" (demand).
    *   The climate officials are demanding certain terms. This feels more like Sense 3.
    *   However, "stake out a claim" is so closely tied to the idea of asserting a right (like land) that Sense 1 might be the intended one, despite the "money or property" parenthetical.
    *   Let's think about "arbitrated". You arbitrate a claim. A legal claim (Sense 1) is the most common thing to be arbitrated.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   In the context of the climate talks, the "claims" are the positions the countries are taking regarding their rights and responsibilities.
    *   Actually, "stake out a claim" often means to assert a position.
    *   Let's look at the senses again. Is there a better one?
    *   Sense 2: assertion that something is true. (No)
    *   Sense 4: informal right. (No)
    *   Sense 5: established right. (No)
    *   Sense 6: call of duty. (No)
    *   So it's between 1 and 3.
    *   "Stake out a claim" -> asserting a right.
    *   "Arbitrated" -> settling a dispute over a claim.
    *   In legal terms, a "claim" is an assertion of a right.
    *   Let's try to see if "stake out a claim" fits Sense 1 or 3 better.
    *   If you stake out a claim to a piece of land, you are asserting a right to it (Sense 1).
    *   If you make a claim for a raise, you are demanding something you feel is due (Sense 3).
    *   The officials are "staking out claims" (asserting their positions/rights) that will be "arbitrated" (settled).
    *   This sounds more like the assertion of a right (Sense 1) than a simple demand (Sense 3).

    *   "Stake out a claim" is a metaphor for asserting a right to something.
    *   "Arbitrated" strongly suggests a formal dispute over a right or a legal-style claim.
    *   Sense 1: "an assertion of a right".
    *   Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   While they are demanding things, the act of "staking out a claim" is the *assertion* of the right.

    *   Wait, let me search for "stake out a claim" and "arbitrated".
    *   If I say "I'm staking out my claim to the throne," I'm asserting my right.
    *   If I say "The union is making a claim for higher wages," they are demanding something.
    *   The phrase "stake out claims" in the text is used for high-level officials in a negotiation. They are asserting their positions/rights.
    *   Let's look at the parenthetical in Sense 1: "(as to money or property)". This might be too narrow.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   In a treaty, countries demand certain things (e.g., "We demand that developed nations pay more"). This is a "claim for something as rightful or due".
    *   Let's re-read the sentence: "...so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."
    *   This means they are establishing their positions/demands.
    *   If I have to choose between "assertion of a right" and "demand for something as rightful or due," "demand" (Sense 3) often fits political negotiations better.
    *   *However*, "stake out a claim" is almost always an assertion of a right.
    *   Let's search for the phrase "stake out a claim" in a dictionary.
    *   Merriam-Webster: "to assert a right to".
    *   This matches Sense 1 ("an assertion of a right") more closely than Sense 3 ("demand for something").

    *   Sense 1: assertion of a right.
    *   Sense 3: demand for something as rightful or due.
    *   "Stake out a claim" = assert a right.
    *   "Arbitrated" = settle a dispute over an assertion of right.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most likely.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again. "demand for something as rightful or due".
    *   Is "staking out a claim" a "demand"? Not exactly. It's the *assertion* that you have the right to it.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "his claim asked for damages" (assertion of a right to money).
    *   Sense 3: "they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day" (demand for something).
    *   The officials are not striking for a shorter work day; they are asserting their positions/rights in a negotiation.
    *   "Stake out a claim" is a very specific idiom. Let's search for it.
    *   "Stake out a claim" means to assert one's right to something.
    *   This matches Sense 1's "assertion of a right".

    *   Sense 1: assertion of a right.
    *   Sense 3: demand for something.
    *   "Stake out a claim" = assert a right.
    *   "Arbitrated" = settle a dispute over a claim.
    *   The most fitting sense is 1.

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

Context: This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next <t>week</t>. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=any period of seven consecutive days | synonyms=hebdomad | examples=it rained for a week
2. definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | synonyms=workweek | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next <t>week</t>."
    *   Target word: "week"
    *   Senses:
        1.  Any period of seven consecutive days.
        2.  Hours or days of work in a calendar week (workweek).
        3.  A period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday (calendar week).

    *   The sentence describes a high-pressure diplomatic negotiation (climate change talks in Copenhagen).
    *   Officials are arriving and meeting to resolve issues before heads of government arrive.
    *   The phrase "over the next week" refers to the duration of time remaining for these arbitrations.

    *   Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days". This fits perfectly. It refers to the upcoming seven-day period.
    *   Sense 2: "hours or days of work in a calendar week". This refers to a work schedule (e.g., "a 40-hour week"). The context is not about a work schedule, but a duration of time.
    *   Sense 3: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday". While it *could* be a calendar week, the context "the next week" usually implies a general seven-day period from the current moment, not necessarily starting on a specific Sunday. Sense 1 is the broader and more common meaning for "the next week" in this context.

    *   The phrase "over the next week" indicates a duration of seven days. Sense 1 is the standard definition for this usage.

    *   Sense 1 describes the group itself.
    *   Sense 2 describes the *act* of assembling.
    *   Sense 3 describes collecting things.
    *   Sense 4 describes sewing.

    *   Contextual clues: "guitar-playing activists", "put on nightly", "mocking the countries". This describes a performance or entertainment event.

    *   Sense 1: "the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining" (e.g., "a remarkable show of skill"). This is more about the *act* or *demonstration* of a quality.
    *   Sense 2: "something intended to communicate a particular impression" (e.g., "a show of impatience"). This is about a *display* of emotion or power.

reasoning_content:

    *   Sentence: "...and draft <t>proposals</t> are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail..."

    *   The text discusses a "draft treaty proposal" earlier: "The Alliance of Small Island States... produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal..."
    *   The specific instance "draft proposals" refers to the documents containing the proposed terms of the treaty.
    *   These are plans or documents being proposed for agreement.

    *   Sense 1: "something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)" - This fits perfectly. A draft treaty is a plan/document being proposed.
    *   Sense 2: "an offer of marriage" - This is completely irrelevant to climate change negotiations.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of making a proposal" - The text refers to "draft proposals" being "passed hand-to-hand on paper." You don't pass the *act* of proposing on paper; you pass the *document* (the thing proposed).

Sense 1 is the correct one.

The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on <t>paper</t> rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge. The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on <t>paper</t> rather than via e-mail..."
    *   Target word: "paper"

    *   Sense 1: Material made of cellulose pulp (the physical substance).
    *   Sense 2: An essay/assignment.
    *   Sense 3: A daily/weekly publication (newspaper).
    *   Sense 4: A medium for written communication (general concept of using paper vs. digital).
    *   Sense 5: A scholarly article.
    *   Sense 6: A business firm that publishes newspapers.
    *   Sense 7: The physical object of a newspaper.

    *   The sentence contrasts "passed hand-to-hand on paper" with "via e-mail".
    *   "Via e-mail" refers to the digital medium of communication.
    *   "On paper" here refers to the physical medium used for writing/printing the draft proposals.
    *   Is it Sense 1 (the material) or Sense 4 (the medium for written communication)?
    *   Sense 1 is the raw material (cellulose pulp).
    *   Sense 4 is "a medium for written communication" (e.g., "the notion of an office running without paper is absurd").
    *   In the context "passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail", it's contrasting the physical medium of communication (paper) with the electronic medium (e-mail). This aligns perfectly with Sense 4.

    *   Sense 1: "a material made of cellulose pulp..." (Too technical/material-focused).
    *   Sense 4: "a medium for written communication" (Fits the contrast with e-mail).

    *   The phrase "on paper" in this specific context refers to the physical medium used to transmit the information, contrasting it with the digital medium. Sense 4 specifically mentions "a medium for written communication" and gives an example about an office running without paper, which is very similar to the contrast between paper and e-mail.

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

Context: Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a <t>challenge</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=something that is lost | examples=the car was a total loss; loss of livestock left the rancher bankrupt
2. definition=gradual decline in amount or activity | examples=weight loss; a serious loss of business
3. definition=the act of losing someone or something | examples=everyone expected him to win so his loss was a shock

reasoning_content:
*   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 <t>losses</t>..."
    *   Key phrase: "despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses"
    *   Contextual clues: "significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov".
    *   Meaning: The team had several players missing (absent) due to injury or other reasons.

    *   Sense 1: something that is lost (e.g., total loss of a car).
    *   Sense 2: gradual decline in amount or activity (e.g., weight loss).
    *   Sense 3: the act of losing someone or something (e.g., losing a game).
    *   Sense 4: the disadvantage that results from losing something (e.g., loss of credibility).
    *   Sense 5: the experience of losing a loved one (e.g., death of a grandfather).
    *   Sense 6: financial loss (e.g., business revenue).
    *   Sense 7: military personnel lost by death or capture (personnel casualty).
    *   Sense 8: euphemism for death.

    *   The context refers to "significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov".
    *   In sports, "losses" often refers to games lost, but here it's used in the context of "heavy losses" and "absences".
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 7: "military personnel lost by death or capture". While this is a sports team, not a military unit, the term "heavy losses" is often used metaphorically in sports to describe a large number of players being unavailable (injured or suspended).
    *   Let's re-evaluate. Is there a better fit?
    *   Sense 1: "something that is lost" - too generic.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of losing someone or something" - doesn't quite fit "heavy losses" in this context.
    *   Sense 7: "military personnel lost by death or capture". In sports journalism, "heavy losses" frequently mirrors military terminology to describe a depleted roster.

    *   "despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses"
    *   "make up for the significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov"
    *   The "losses" are the "absences".
    *   Looking at the provided senses again. None of them explicitly say "players missing from a team".
    *   However, Sense 7 (personnel casualty) is the closest conceptual match for "personnel missing from a group", even if the context is sports rather than military.

    *   Sense 1: Total loss (car). No.
    *   Sense 2: Decline (weight). No.
    *   Sense 3: Act of losing (game). No, they won the game ("achieved a stunning 82-91 victory").
    *   Sense 4: Disadvantage (credibility). No.
    *   Sense 5: Loved one. No.
    *   Sense 6: Financial. No.
    *   Sense 7: Personnel lost. Yes, this fits the "absences" of players.
    *   Sense 8: Death. No.

    *   In many dictionaries (like WordNet, which these senses seem to be derived from), "loss" in the sense of casualties (people missing/killed/injured) is categorized under personnel loss. In sports, "heavy losses" referring to injuries is a common metaphorical use of this sense.

    *   Context: "heavy losses" -> "significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov".
    *   Sense 7: "military personnel lost by death or capture | synonyms=personnel casualty".
    *   This is the only sense that deals with the loss of *people* (personnel) from a group.
