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

Context: Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services. The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included. Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee. Case Studies Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission..."
    *   Target word: "Employment"
    *   Contextual clues: It's part of a title or a department name ("Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate").

    *   Sense 1: the state of being employed or having a job.
    *   Sense 2: the occupation for which you are paid (work).
    *   Sense 3: the act of giving someone a job (engagement).
    *   Sense 4: the act of using (use, usage, utilization).

    *   In the phrase "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate", "Employment" refers to the general field or sector of having jobs, job markets, and labor policies.
    *   Sense 1 (the state of being employed) and Sense 2 (the occupation/work) are very similar. However, in the context of a government directorate, "Employment" usually refers to the broad concept of people having jobs (the state of employment/labor market).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" (e.g., "looking for employment").
        *   Sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid" (e.g., "he is looking for employment").
    *   Wait, the examples for 1 and 2 are almost identical in the provided list ("they are looking for employment" vs "he is looking for employment"). This is a bit confusing.
    *   Let's look at the broader context of a "Directorate". A "Directorate of Employment" deals with the *state* of employment in the population, labor laws, and job creation.
    *   Sense 3 (act of giving a job) is too narrow.
    *   Sense 4 (act of using) is completely wrong.

    *   Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job"
    *   Sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid"
    *   In "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate", it refers to the field of employment (the state of people being employed).

    *   Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WordNet-based sense disambiguation), "Employment" as a field of policy/government refers to the state of being employed (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: state of being employed.
    *   Sense 2: the job itself.
    *   A Directorate doesn't manage "the job itself" (Sense 2) but rather "the state of employment" (Sense 1) across the region.

    *   Sense 1: state of being employed.
    *   Sense 2: occupation.
    *   Sense 3: hiring.
    *   Sense 4: usage.
    *   The Directorate handles the *issue* of employment (Sense 1).

    *   It is a field *relating to* industry and the workforce.

    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or resulting from industry". This fits well. Industrial relations relate to industry.
    *   Sense 2: "having highly developed industries". This describes a nation or a period (e.g., industrial nation). Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: "employed in industry". This describes people (e.g., industrial workers). "Relations" are not employed in industry.
    *   Sense 4: "suitable to stand up to hard wear". This describes physical products (e.g., industrial carpeting). Not applicable here.

    *   "Industrial Relations" is a standard term. "Industrial" here means "relating to industry".
    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate fit.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...together with the European Commission...", "...European Commission Fernando Gomes..."
    *   Target word: "Commission" (specifically in "European Commission").
    *   Meaning: The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union, consisting of a group of representatives/delegates (Commissioners) who manage the EU's day-to-day business and propose legislation.

    *   Sense 1: a special group delegated to consider some matter (committee).
    *   Sense 2: a fee for services rendered (percentage).
    *   Sense 3: the act of granting authority (commissioning).
    *   Sense 4: state of being in good working order (ready for operation).
    *   Sense 5: a group of representatives or delegates (deputation, delegation, mission).
    *   Sense 6: a formal statement of a command or injunction.
    *   Sense 7: an official document conferring rank in armed forces.
    *   Sense 8: the act of committing a crime.
    *   Sense 9: a special assignment given to a person or group.

    *   The "European Commission" is a permanent administrative body.
    *   Sense 1 (special group delegated to consider some matter) is close, but often implies a temporary committee.
    *   Sense 5 (a group of representatives or delegates) fits the description of a governing body or a diplomatic/administrative mission/group.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 5.
    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" (like a commission of inquiry).
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates" (like a diplomatic commission).
    *   Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions for "Commission" as in "European Commission", it's an administrative body.
    *   Let's look at the options again.
    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter; - Milton Berle | synonyms=committee"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates | synonyms=deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission"
    *   The European Commission is a permanent executive body. It's more than just a committee to "consider some matter". It's a group of representatives (Commissioners) from member states.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again. "a special group delegated to consider some matter".
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "a group of representatives or delegates".
    *   In many dictionaries, a "commission" as a government agency or administrative body falls under the "group of people" definition.
    *   Comparing 1 and 5:
        1: Committee-like (often temporary or specific task).
        5: Delegation/Representative-like.
    *   The European Commission is the executive arm. It is composed of representatives from each member state.
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Is it a "special group delegated to consider some matter"? Not really, it's a permanent government body.
    *   Is it a "group of representatives or delegates"? Yes, the Commissioners represent the interests of the EU as a whole, but they are appointed representatives.
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-style datasets (which these senses look like), "commission" as a government body is often mapped to the "committee" or "group of people" sense.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates".
    *   The European Commission is a permanent body.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "committee".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: "deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission".
    *   The European Commission is often described as a "college" of commissioners.
    *   If I have to choose between 1 and 5...
    *   Sense 1 is more about a task-force.
    *   Sense 5 is more about representation.
    *   However, in common usage, a "Commission" (like the Federal Trade Commission or the European Commission) is a regulatory or executive body.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again. "a special group delegated to consider some matter".
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "a group of representatives or delegates".
    *   Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 1 is the most common definition for a government commission (like the European Commission), even if "special" and "consider some matter" sound a bit narrow. But Sense 5 is "deputation/delegation", which usually refers to a group sent to a specific place for a specific purpose (like a diplomatic mission).
    *   The European Commission is an institution.
    *   Let's search for "European Commission" in the context of these specific sense definitions (which look like they come from a specific dataset, possibly WordNet).
    *   In WordNet:
        - commission (1): a group of people entrusted with some particular function.
        - commission (2): a fee...
        - commission (3): the act of...
    *   Wait, the senses provided here are slightly different.
    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   The European Commission is a permanent administrative body.
    *   Let's think about "Commission" as in "European Commission". It is a body of representatives (one from each member state).
    *   However, "Commission" as a government agency is almost always Sense 1 in these types of NLP tasks (the "committee/board" sense).
    *   Let's double-check Sense 5. "deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission". These are usually temporary groups sent to represent someone.
    *   The European Commission is a permanent institution.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 (the "committee" sense) is the closest, as it refers to a group delegated with a function/matter (governing the EU).

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" (Synonym: committee).
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates" (Synonym: delegation).
    *   The European Commission is an executive body. It's more like a committee/board than a delegation.

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   Actually, looking at the European Commission, it is composed of Commissioners who are representatives of their countries (though they are supposed to act independently).
    *   But "Commission" as a noun for a government body is almost always the "committee" sense.

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   If I search for "European Commission" and "sense", it's usually categorized as a "body" or "committee".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 1: committee.
    *   Sense 5: deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission.
    *   The European Commission is definitely more of a "committee" (in the broad sense of a governing board) than a "deputation".

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   Wait, "European Commission" is a permanent body. Is it "special"? Is it "to consider some matter"? It's to *administer* the EU.
    *   Is it a "group of representatives"? Yes.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission".
    *   A "mission" can be a permanent diplomatic mission.
    *   But a "Commission" (like the EC) is an executive body.
    *   Let's try to find this specific sense list online. It looks like it might be from a dataset like WordNet or a similar lexical database.
    *   In WordNet:
        - commission (n): a group of people entrusted with some particular function.
    *   Looking at the provided Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter".
    *   Looking at the provided Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates".
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is the standard definition for a "commission" that is a government body.

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   The European Commission is a group of people (Commissioners) entrusted with the function of executing EU law and proposing legislation. This fits "a group delegated to consider [and act on] some matter" better than "a delegation" (which is usually sent *to* somewhere).

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   Wait, I just noticed Sense 5 says "synonyms=deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission".
    *   The European Commission is an institution, not a delegation.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most likely answer.

    *   Context: "European Commission"
    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" (committee)
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates" (delegation)
    *   The European Commission is a permanent administrative body. While "special group" and "consider some matter" are slightly off, "committee" is a much closer synonym for a governing body than "delegation" is.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again. "a special group delegated to consider some matter".
    *   Is there any other sense?
    *   Sense 9: "a special assignment that is given to a person or group". (No)
    *   Sense 3: "the act of granting authority". (No)
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates".
    *   Let's think about the European Commission again. It is a "college" of representatives.
    *   But in the context of "The European Commission", it's the name of the organization.
    *   Most dictionaries list "commission" as "a group of people entrusted with some particular function". This matches Sense 1 better than Sense 5.

    *   Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
    *   Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"
    *   If I search for "European Commission" and "delegation", they are different things. The Commission is the body; a delegation is a group sent by the Commission.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the only one that fits the "body/organization" meaning.

Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee. Case Studies Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community.

Senses:
1. definition=greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount | examples=a high temperature; a high price
2. definition=(literal meaning) being at or having a relatively great or specific elevation or upward extension (sometimes used in combinations like `knee-high') | examples=a high mountain; high ceilings
3. definition=standing above others in quality or position | synonyms=eminent | examples=people in high places; the high priest

6. definition=(used of the smell of meat) smelling spoiled or tainted | synonyms=gamey, gamy
7. definition=slightly and pleasantly intoxicated from alcohol or a drug (especially marijuana) | synonyms=mellow

reasoning_content:

    *   Target word: "high"
    *   Phrase: "a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions"

    *   Wait, looking at the context again: "...Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler..."
    *   This sentence looks grammatically incorrect or corrupted. "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" doesn't make sense in English.
    *   Let's re-read the surrounding text: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, [Title], European Commission Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament..."
    *   It seems like a list of people and their titles.
    *   Cristina Louro -> Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission.
    *   Fernando Gomes -> [Something] Committee of the Regions.
    *   Barbara Weiler -> Member of the European Parliament.
    *   The phrase "a high degree of" is inserted before "Committee of the Regions". This looks like an OCR error or a translation error in the source text.

    *   If the text says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions", how is "high" being used?
    *   Usually, "a high degree of [something]" means a large amount or intensity of that thing (e.g., "a high degree of accuracy").
    *   Sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount".
    *   Sense 2: Elevation.
    *   Sense 3: Quality or position (eminent).
    *   Sense 4: Pitch.
    *   Sense 5: Happy/excited.
    *   Sense 6: Spoiled meat.
    *   Sense 7: Intoxicated.

    *   Even though the phrase "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" is nonsensical, the construction "a high degree of..." almost always uses "high" in the sense of "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount" (Sense 1).
    *   Could it be Sense 3 (position)? "High" as in "high-ranking"? If the text meant "a high-ranking member of the Committee of the Regions", that would make sense. But the text says "a high degree of".
    *   Let's look at the phrase "high degree". "Degree" refers to the extent or amount. "High" modifies "degree". This is a classic usage of Sense 1.

    *   "a high degree of [something]" -> Sense 1.
    *   Example: "a high degree of skill", "a high degree of certainty".
    *   In this case, the "something" is "Committee of the Regions", which is weird, but the modifier "high" applied to "degree" fits Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount. (Fits "high degree").
    *   Sense 2: elevation. (No).
    *   Sense 3: quality or position. (No, unless it was "high official", but it's "high degree").
    *   Sense 4: pitch. (No).
    *   Sense 5: spirits. (No).
    *   Sense 6: meat. (No).
    *   Sense 7: intoxicated. (No).

    *   The text is likely a bit mangled, but the specific phrase "high degree" points directly to Sense 1.

2. definition=a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A text about a European conference on social exclusion and a comparative study (EPOC project) on direct participation. It mentions national reports containing portfolios of initiatives to improve recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers. It specifically says, "For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study."
    *   Target phrase: "Case Studies" (and "case study").
    *   Senses:
        1.  A careful study of some social unit (e.g., corporation, division) to determine factors for success or failure.
        2.  A detailed analysis of a person or group from a social, psychological, or medical point of view.

    *   The "case studies" refer to "initiatives" (policies and practices to improve recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers).
    *   The goal is to analyze these initiatives (which are social/organizational units or programs) to see how they work (implied success/effectiveness in improving recruitment/training).
    *   Sense 1 focuses on social units (like corporations or specific programs/initiatives) and factors leading to success/failure.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on individuals or groups from a psychological/medical/social perspective (clinical or sociological case study of a person).

    *   The "initiatives" are the subjects of the case studies. An initiative is more like a "social unit" or a specific program/project than a "person or group" analyzed from a psychological/medical point of view.
    *   The context is about public welfare services, employment, and industrial sectors.
    *   Sense 1 fits better because it's about analyzing specific examples (initiatives) to understand what works (success/failure factors).

    *   Sense 1: Social unit (corporation, division, initiative) -> success/failure.
    *   Sense 2: Person/group -> psychological/medical/social point of view.

7. definition=of or relating to nationality | examples=national origin

    *   Target word: "national"
    *   Surrounding context: "Each national report contains a portfolio... For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected..."

    *   Sense 1: of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country (e.g., national hero, national anthem).
    *   Sense 2: limited to or in the interests of a particular nation (e.g., national interests).
    *   Sense 3: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country (e.g., the national government, national elections).
    *   Sense 4: owned or maintained for the public by the national government (e.g., national parks).
    *   Sense 5: inside the country (synonyms: home, interior, internal).
    *   Sense 6: characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation (e.g., a national trait).
    *   Sense 7: of or relating to nationality (e.g., national origin).

    *   The text says "Each national report contains a portfolio... For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected..."
    *   This means there is one report for each country.
    *   The report relates to a specific nation/country.
    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country". This fits well.
    *   Sense 2: "limited to or in the interests of a particular nation". This is more about policy or interest than a report.
    *   Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country". This often refers to things that cover the *whole* nation (like a national government), but "national report" in this context means a report *per* nation.
    *   Sense 4: "owned or maintained for the public by the national government". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: "inside the country". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 6: "characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 7: "of or relating to nationality". Not applicable.

    *   "National report" here means a report for each nation.
    *   Sense 1 is the most general and fits best: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
    *   Sense 3 is often used for things that are "nation-wide" (e.g., national elections). While a report might be about the whole nation, the primary meaning here is that there is one report *per* nation.

    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country"
    *   Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country"
    *   In the phrase "Each national report", it means "the report for each nation". This aligns most closely with Sense 1 (relating to a nation). Sense 3 usually implies a scope that covers the entire nation (like a national law), whereas Sense 1 is a broader descriptor of the relationship to a nation.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country".
    *   If the report is about the situation in that entire country, Sense 3 could work.
    *   However, "national report" in the context of "each country" usually means "the report for that country".
    *   Let's compare "national hero" (Sense 1) and "national government" (Sense 3). A national hero is a hero of a nation. A national report is a report of a nation.
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is the most basic definition. Let's re-evaluate.
    *   "Each national report" -> "Each report relating to a nation".

    *   Sense 1: of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country.
    *   Sense 3: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country.
    *   If the report covers the whole country, it's Sense 3. If it's just "the report for the country", it's Sense 1.
    *   Looking at the context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives... For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected..."
    *   This implies the report is the comprehensive one for that specific country.
    *   Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WordNet-based disambiguation), "national" in "national report" or "national level" (mentioned earlier in the text: "national level peak organisations") often maps to Sense 1 or Sense 3.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "national government", "national elections". These are things that operate at the level of the whole country.
    *   A "national report" in this context is a report at the level of the whole country (as opposed to a regional report).
    *   Wait, the text mentions "Galician regional government" and "national level peak organisations". This contrast between "regional" and "national" strongly suggests Sense 3 (concerned with or applicable to an entire nation).

    *   "national level peak organisations" (earlier in text)
    *   "Each national report" (target)
    *   Contrast: "Galician regional government" vs "national level".
    *   This contrast (regional vs national) is the classic use of Sense 3 (entire nation/country).

    *   Sense 1: General relation to a nation.
    *   Sense 3: Specifically referring to the scale/scope of the entire nation (as opposed to local or regional).
    *   Given the contrast with "regional government", Sense 3 is a very strong candidate.

    *   Sense 1: national hero, national anthem (symbolic/belonging)
    *   Sense 3: national government, national elections (scope/scale)
    *   "National report" (in a set of reports for different countries) fits the scope/scale meaning better, especially when contrasted with regional levels.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 again. "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
    *   Is a "national report" just "relating to a nation" or "covering the entire nation"?
    *   In the context of "Each national report... For each country...", it means one report per country.
    *   If I have a report for France, a report for Germany, etc., these are national reports.
    *   Is that "relating to a nation" (Sense 1) or "applicable to an entire nation" (Sense 3)?
    *   Actually, Sense 3's "belonging to an entire nation" fits "national government". A "national report" belongs to the scope of the entire nation.

    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: national hero, national anthem.
    *   Sense 3: national government, national elections.
    *   A "national report" is more like a "national government" (scope) than a "national anthem" (symbol).

    *   Let's re-read: "The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."
    *   Here, "national level" clearly means the level of the whole country (Sense 3).
    *   Then, "Each national report contains a portfolio..."
    *   It's highly likely the same sense is being used.

    *   Sense 1: General.
    *   Sense 3: Scope (entire nation).
    *   The contrast with "regional" (Galician regional government) makes Sense 3 the most precise fit.

    *   Target word: "contains"

    *   Sense 1: include or contain; have as a component (e.g., "The record contains many old songs").
    *   Sense 2: contain or hold; have within (physical container) (e.g., "The jar carries wine").

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best <t>present</t> policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers..."
    *   Target word: "present"

    *   1: give an exhibition of to an interested audience (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate)
    *   2: bring forward and present to the mind (represent, lay out)
    *   3: perform (a play) (stage, represent)
    *   4: hand over formally (submit)

    *   12: formally present a debutante/representative
    *   13: recognize with a military gesture (salute)

    *   The sentence says: "...initiatives which best <t>present</t> policies and practices..."
    *   In this context, "present" means the initiatives *show*, *demonstrate*, *illustrate*, or *lay out* the policies and practices.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate).
        *   Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out).
    *   Looking at the context, the initiatives are examples that *demonstrate* or *illustrate* how the policies and practices work.
    *   "Lay out" (Sense 2) often refers to explaining a plan or argument.
    *   "Show/Demonstrate" (Sense 1) often refers to exhibiting a quality or a method.
    *   Wait, let's re-read Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind | synonyms=represent, lay out | examples=We presented the arguments to him".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience | synonyms=show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate | examples=She shows her dogs frequently; We will demo the new software in Washington".
    *   The initiatives "present" (show/demonstrate) the policies. This feels closer to Sense 1 (demonstrate/show) or Sense 2 (represent/lay out).
    *   Actually, "represent" in Sense 2 can mean "to be a typical example of". If the initiatives *represent* the policies, that fits.
    *   However, "demonstrate" (Sense 1) also fits well.
    *   Let's look at the phrasing again: "initiatives which best present policies and practices".
    *   If you "present a policy", you are often laying it out or showing how it works.
    *   Let's check other options. Sense 10 (portray) is for art. Sense 4 (submit) is for documents.
    *   Comparing 1 and 2 again:
        *   Sense 1: "give an exhibition of" (like a demo).
        *   Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (like presenting an argument or a case).
    *   The initiatives are examples that *show* (demonstrate) the policies.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "represent, lay out".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate".
    *   "Initiatives which best demonstrate policies and practices" sounds very natural.
    *   "Initiatives which best represent policies and practices" also sounds natural.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "We presented the arguments to him". This is about presenting information for consideration.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "We will demo the new software". This is about showing how something works.
    *   The initiatives are essentially "demos" of the policies in action.

    *   Sense 1: show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate.
    *   Sense 2: represent, lay out.
    *   In the context of "initiatives which best present policies", the initiatives are acting as examples that *demonstrate* the policies.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind".
    *   If the initiatives "present" the policies, they are making the policies visible or understandable.
    *   Looking at WordNet (which these senses seem to be derived from), "present" as in "show" or "demonstrate" is often Sense 1.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 2 again. "Represent" can mean "to be a symbol or embodiment of".
    *   Wait, "present" in "present policies and practices" could also mean "to describe" or "to set forth".
    *   Let's look at the context again: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices..."
    *   This means the initiatives are the *best examples* of those policies.
    *   If they are examples, they *demonstrate* (Sense 1) or *represent* (Sense 2) the policies.
    *   Usually, "present" in the sense of "showcase" or "demonstrate" is Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate).
    *   Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out).
    *   If the initiatives "present" the policies, they are showing them to the reader of the report.
    *   Let's try substituting:
        *   "...initiatives which best *demonstrate* policies and practices..." (Sense 1)
        *   "...initiatives which best *lay out* policies and practices..." (Sense 2)
        *   "...initiatives which best *represent* policies and practices..." (Sense 2)
    *   "Demonstrate" (Sense 1) feels slightly stronger here because the initiatives are practical applications (examples) of the policies.

    *   Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience"
    *   Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind"
    *   The initiatives are in a report. The report is for an audience. The initiatives *show* (demonstrate) the policies.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "represent, lay out". "Lay out" is often used for presenting a plan or a set of rules.
    *   Wait, "represent" in Sense 2 is "bring forward and present to the mind".
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate".
    *   If the initiatives are examples, they *demonstrate* the policies.

    *   Sense 1: show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate.
    *   Sense 2: represent, lay out.
    *   In many NLP datasets (like SemCor), "present" meaning "to show or demonstrate" is categorized under the "show" sense.
    *   Let's re-read: "initiatives which best present policies and practices".
    *   This means the initiatives *illustrate* the policies. "Illustrate" is a synonym for "demonstrate" or "show".

    *   Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience"
    *   Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind"
    *   If I "present an argument", I am bringing it forward to your mind (Sense 2).
    *   If I "present a new product", I am demonstrating it (Sense 1).
    *   If an "initiative presents a policy", it is demonstrating how that policy is applied.

    *   Sense 1: show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate.
    *   Sense 2: represent, lay out.
    *   The initiatives are examples. Examples *demonstrate* a point.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most likely fit.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 2 again. "represent, lay out".
    *   If the initiatives *represent* the policies, it means they are typical examples of them.
    *   But "present" is the word used. "Initiatives which best present policies".
    *   If you "present" something in a report, you are showing it or laying it out.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "She shows her dogs frequently; We will demo the new software".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "We presented the arguments to him; We cannot represent this knowledge to our formal reason".
    *   The "arguments" example in Sense 2 is about presenting information for consideration.
    *   The "initiatives" in the report are presenting (showing/demonstrating) the policies.
    *   This is a tough call between 1 and 2. Let's think about "present" in a professional report.
    *   "The report presents the findings." (This is often Sense 2 - laying out information).
    *   "The initiatives present the policies." (The initiatives are the *means* by which the policies are shown).
    *   If the initiatives *demonstrate* the policies, it's Sense 1.
    *   If the initiatives *lay out* the policies, it's Sense 2.
    *   Initiatives (actions/programs) don't usually "lay out" (explain) policies; they "demonstrate" (show in action) policies.

    *   Sense 1: show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate.
    *   Sense 2: represent, lay out.
    *   "Initiatives which best demonstrate policies" makes more sense than "Initiatives which best lay out policies".

    *   Sense 1: give an exhibition of to an interested audience.
    *   Sense 2: bring forward and present to the mind.
    *   The initiatives are being "exhibited" in the portfolio to "demonstrate" the policies. This fits Sense 1.

2. definition=a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government | examples=they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation
3. definition=written contract or certificate of insurance | synonyms=insurance policy, insurance | examples=you should have read the small print on your policy

        1.  A plan of action adopted by an individual or social group.
        2.  A line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government.
        3.  Written contract or certificate of insurance.

    *   The text discusses a European conference on social exclusion, a comparative study on direct participation, and national reports containing initiatives to improve recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers.
    *   The word "policies" is used in the phrase "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers".
    *   In this context, "policies" refers to the strategies, plans, or guidelines adopted by organizations or governments to achieve a specific goal (improving the situation for ageing workers).

    *   Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group". This fits well. The "initiatives" are examples of plans of action.
    *   Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". This is more about the *justification* or *debate* surrounding a policy rather than the plan itself.
    *   Sense 3: "written contract or certificate of insurance". This is completely irrelevant to the context of social exclusion and employment initiatives.

    *   The word "policies" here refers to the actual plans/strategies implemented (plans of action), which aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

    *   In this context, "policies" refers to official rules or guidelines, and "practices" refers to the actual methods, ways of operating, or behaviors used to implement those policies or achieve the goal.
    *   It's not about training/drills (Sense 2).
    *   It's not about the act of translating theory into action (Sense 3), although it's related, "practices" here refers to the *specific ways* things are done.
    *   It's not about a professional practice like law or medicine (Sense 4).
    *   It's not about the *knowledge* of how something is done (Sense 5), but rather the *actual ways* it is done.
