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

Context: In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the <t>inclusion</t> of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...I think there's a real danger that the <t>inclusion</t> of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann...
    *   Target word: "inclusion"
    *   Meaning in context: The act or process of bringing new technology into the courtroom (or the fact that it is present/allowed).

    *   Sense 1: "the state of being included" (Passive state)
    *   Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something" (e.g., "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work" - referring to the content/composition)
    *   Sense 3: "any small intracellular body..." (Biological/Medical - clearly wrong)
    *   Sense 4: "the act of including" (The action or process of adding/incorporating)

    *   The sentence says "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting...".
    *   Is it the *state* of being included (Sense 1)? Or the *act* of including (Sense 4)?
    *   Usually, "the inclusion of [X] in [Y]" refers to the act of incorporating X into Y or the fact that X has been incorporated.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something". This is similar to Sense 4 but often refers to what is contained within a whole (like ideas in a book).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4:
        *   Sense 1: "the state of being included" (e.g., "Her inclusion in the team was a surprise.")
        *   Sense 4: "the act of including" (e.g., "The inclusion of a new clause in the contract took hours.")
    *   In the context "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", it refers to the practice or the act of allowing/incorporating technology into the legal process.

    *   Sense 1: State of being included.
    *   Sense 4: Act of including.
    *   If I say "The inclusion of new technology is a problem," I am talking about the fact that it was included (the act/process of incorporating it).
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something". Example: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". This is very close to the structure "inclusion of [X] in [Y]".
    *   Wait, let's look at the nuances again.
        *   Sense 1: State.
        *   Sense 2: Comprising/containing.
        *   Sense 4: Act.
    *   In the sentence "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting...", it's not really about the *act* (the moment it was put there) but rather the *fact* that it is part of the environment (the state or the comprising).
    *   However, in many dictionaries, "the inclusion of X in Y" is categorized as the act of including.
    *   Let's look at the provided examples. Sense 2 example: "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". This is almost identical in structure to "inclusion of new technology in the courtroom".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "the act of including".
    *   Is the lawyer talking about the *act* of putting the technology there, or the *fact* that the courtroom now *comprises* (includes) this technology?
    *   Usually, "the inclusion of [something]" in this context refers to the act/process of incorporating it into the system.

    *   Sense 1: State of being included. (e.g., "I was happy about my inclusion in the group.")
    *   Sense 2: Relation of comprising something. (e.g., "The inclusion of a map in the book was helpful.")
    *   Sense 4: Act of including. (e.g., "The inclusion of the new member took some time.")

    Wait, looking at Sense 2 again: "the relation of comprising something | synonyms=comprehension | examples=he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    Looking at Sense 4: "the act of including".

    In the context "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", it's more about the *fact* that technology is now part of the courtroom (comprising it) than the specific *action* of putting it there.

    Let's compare:
    "The inclusion of the new clause was debated." (Act)
    "The inclusion of a map makes the book better." (Comprising/State)
    "The inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting rights." (Comprising/State)

    Actually, Sense 4 ("the act of including") is often used for the process. Sense 2 ("the relation of comprising something") is used for the result/fact of it being there.

    Let's check Sense 1 again: "the state of being included". This usually refers to a person being part of a group.

    Between 2 and 4:
    Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something" (The book includes ideas).
    Sense 4: "the act of including" (The editor included ideas).

    The lawyer is saying that the *fact* that technology is used (is included) in the courtroom is the problem. This aligns better with Sense 2 (the relation of comprising/containing) or Sense 4 (the act of incorporating).

    Wait, let's look at the example for Sense 2 again: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". This is almost exactly the same usage as "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom".

    Let's double-check Sense 4. "The act of including". If the lawyer meant the *act*, he would be talking about the moment the judge allowed the technology. But he's talking about the ongoing effect of the technology being there.

    Therefore, Sense 2 seems the most fitting.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me search for these specific sense definitions. They look like they come from WordNet.
    WordNet senses for "inclusion":
    1. the state of being included
    2. the relation of comprising something (synonym: comprehension)
    3. any small intracellular body...
    4. the act of including

    In WordNet, "the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work" is the example for sense 2.
    "The inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" is very similar to "the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". Both describe the fact that X is a part of Y.

    Sense 1: "the state of being included" (usually refers to the entity being included, e.g., "his inclusion in the team").
    Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something" (usually refers to the whole containing the part, e.g., "the inclusion of ideas in the work").
    Sense 4: "the act of including" (the process of adding).

    In "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", the focus is on the fact that the courtroom environment now comprises/includes this technology.

    Let's re-verify.
    "The inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting..."
    Is it the *act* of including it? Or the *fact* that it is included (the relation of comprising)?
    If I say "The inclusion of salt in the recipe makes it salty," I'm talking about the fact that the recipe comprises salt (Sense 2).
    If I say "The inclusion of salt in the recipe was a mistake by the chef," I might be talking about the act (Sense 4).

    In the legal context, the lawyer is arguing that the *presence* (the fact that it is included) of the technology is the problem. This points to Sense 2.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again. "the state of being included".
    "The inclusion of new technology" -> The technology is in the state of being included.
    But Sense 2's example "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work" is a perfect parallel.

    Let's check Sense 4 again. "the act of including".
    If the lawyer meant the *act*, he would be criticizing the decision to allow it. But he says "the inclusion... is affecting", which suggests the ongoing state/presence.

    Final check:
    Sense 2: relation of comprising something.
    Example: inclusion of ideas in a work.
    Context: inclusion of technology in the courtroom.
    Matches well.

But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue.

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: "...The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last <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 phrase is "last week".
    *   "Last week" typically refers to the previous seven-day period relative to the current date.
    *   Does it refer to a workweek (Sense 2)? No.
    *   Does it specifically refer to a calendar week starting on Sunday (Sense 3)? While it might align with a calendar week, in general usage, "last week" refers to the seven-day period preceding the current one, which fits the general definition of a seven-day period (Sense 1).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 is the general definition of a seven-day period. Sense 3 is a specific type of week (starting on Sunday). In the context of "last week," it's usually used in the general sense of the previous seven days or the previous calendar week. However, in most dictionary classifications (like WordNet, which these senses seem to mirror), "last week" falls under the general sense of a seven-day period unless the specific start day is crucial.

    *   Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
    *   Sense 2: workweek.
    *   Sense 3: calendar week (starting Sunday).

    In the sentence "rejected the claims in a ruling last week", the author is referring to the seven-day period immediately preceding the current one. This is the most common usage of "week" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: General 7-day period.
    *   Sense 2: Workweek.
    *   Sense 3: Calendar week (Sun-Sat).

    "Last week" is a standard temporal reference to the previous seven-day block. While it often aligns with the calendar week, the primary meaning is the period of seven days.

    Let's double-check if "last week" specifically implies Sense 3. In many linguistic datasets (like SemCor), "last week" is mapped to the general sense of a seven-day period.

    Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
    Sense 2: workweek.
    Sense 3: calendar week.

    The usage "last week" fits Sense 1 best as the general term for the seven-day period.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday".
    In common parlance, "last week" often means the previous calendar week. However, Sense 1 is the broader, more inclusive definition. Usually, unless the specific start day (Sunday) is the defining characteristic of the usage, Sense 1 is preferred.

    Example: "It rained for a week" (Sense 1).
    Example: "The ruling was last week" (Sense 1).

    Let's re-evaluate. If the choice is between "any period of seven days" and "a period starting on Sunday", "last week" usually refers to the most recent completed calendar week. But in most NLP tasks of this type, the general sense (1) is the intended answer unless the specific calendar definition is required.

    Let's check the synonyms.
    Sense 1: hebdomad.
    Sense 2: workweek.
    Sense 3: calendar week.

    "Last week" is a reference to the previous calendar week. But is it *specifically* the one starting on Sunday? That depends on the culture, but the definition provided for Sense 3 is "starting on Sunday". Sense 1 is "any period of seven consecutive days".

    Actually, looking at how these senses are often structured (likely from WordNet), Sense 1 is the general term. "Last week" is the most common way to refer to the previous seven-day period.

    Let's try to see if there's any reason to pick 3 over 1.
    Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
    Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday.

    If I say "I'll see you in a week," that's Sense 1.
    If I say "The report is due by the end of the week," that's often Sense 3 (or 2).
    If I say "last week," I'm referring to the previous block of seven days.

    Most likely, the answer is 1.

    *   Sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief".
    *   Sense 3: "(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved".
    *   The judge is making a ruling on a motion/claim. He is saying there is no proof (evidence) that the jury was swayed.
    *   Usually, in these NLP tasks (like WordNet-based disambiguation), if the context is a trial and the word is "evidence," Sense 3 is a strong candidate. However, Sense 1 is the general meaning of "proof."
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 3: "all the means by which any alleged matter of fact... is established". This sounds like the *category* of evidence.
    *   In the phrase "no evidence the jury was driven by passion," the judge is saying there is no *proof* (factual basis).
    *   If I say "there is no evidence that it rained," I'm using Sense 1.
    *   If a judge says "there is no evidence that the defendant was at the scene," is he using the general sense of proof or the specific legal sense?
    *   Actually, in legal contexts, "evidence" refers to the specific materials (testimony, exhibits) presented to the court. The judge is saying that among the materials/facts presented, nothing proves the jury was driven by passion. This aligns well with Sense 3.

    *   Sense 1: General basis for belief.
    *   Sense 2: A sign.
    *   Sense 3: Legal means of establishing fact.
    *   The context is a judge's ruling in a trial. The judge is assessing whether a claim (jury swayed by passion) has been established by the facts/materials presented. This is the core of the legal definition of evidence.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 again. "the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling". This is scientific evidence.
    *   The judge's statement "there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion" is very similar in structure to "there is no evidence that X happened."
    *   Is it "grounds for belief" (1) or "legal means of establishing fact" (3)?
    *   In a court of law, "evidence" specifically refers to the testimony and exhibits admitted into the record. The judge is saying that nothing in the record (the legal evidence) supports the claim.

    *   Let's compare:
        "I have no evidence that he lied." (Sense 1)
        "The judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence to proceed to trial." (Sense 3)
        "The judge... saying... there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion." (Sense 3)

    *   The context is explicitly legal ("trial judge", "ruling", "court filings", "appeals judges"). Sense 3 is specifically marked as (law).

    *   Sense 1: basis for belief.
    *   Sense 2: indication.
    *   Sense 3: (law) means of establishing fact.
    *   The judge is ruling on a legal claim. The "evidence" he is referring to is the legal evidence presented to the court.

    *   Wait, let me think if Sense 1 is more appropriate. "No evidence" often just means "no proof."
    *   But in a legal ruling, "evidence" has a specific meaning (admissible evidence).
    *   Let's look at the phrasing again: "The trial judge... tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were 'carefully controlled' and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion."
    *   This is a judge making a legal determination.

    *   Let's check Sense 1 again: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief".
    *   Sense 3: "(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved".
    *   The judge is essentially saying that the "means by which the fact [that the jury was driven by passion] is established" were not present.

    *   Actually, looking at many similar datasets (like SemCor), "evidence" in a legal context referring to proof presented in court is almost always mapped to the legal sense.

    *   Sense 1: General proof.
    *   Sense 2: Sign/Symptom.
    *   Sense 3: Legal proof.
    *   Context: Judge's ruling in a trial.
    *   Conclusion: Sense 3.

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

Context: On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the <t>jury</t> was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue.

    *   The "jury" in this context is the group that voted for the death sentence and whose impartiality is being questioned based on media coverage of the trial.

    *   Sense 1 describes a legal jury in a court of law.
    *   Sense 2 describes a judging panel for a competition.
    *   The context is clearly a legal trial, not a competition.

    *   The correct sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A legal trial (Steven J. Hayes). The defense argues that intense reporting created a "circus atmosphere" and that the jury was "improperly swayed by public passions." The judge rejected this, saying there was no evidence the jury was "driven by passion."
    *   Target word: "passion" (in the phrase "driven by passion").

    *   Sense 1: a strong feeling or emotion (synonym: passionateness).
    *   Sense 2: the trait of being intensely emotional (synonyms: heat, warmth).
    *   Sense 3: something that is desired intensely (synonym: rage - *Wait, "rage" as in intense desire? That's an odd synonym, but okay*).
    *   Sense 4: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action (synonyms: mania, cacoethes).
    *   Sense 5: a feeling of strong sexual desire.
    *   Sense 6: any object of warm affection or devotion (synonym: love).
    *   Sense 7: the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion.

    *   The context discusses a jury being "swayed by public passions" or "driven by passion."
    *   In a legal context, "passion" often refers to strong emotions (like anger, hatred, or prejudice) that might cloud judgment or lead to an irrational verdict, as opposed to a decision based on evidence and reason.
    *   Sense 1 ("a strong feeling or emotion") fits well.
    *   Sense 2 ("the trait of being intensely emotional") describes a personality trait rather than the emotion itself driving an action.
    *   Sense 4 ("an irrational but irresistible motive") is close, but "passion" in the phrase "driven by passion" usually refers to the emotion itself.
    *   Senses 3, 5, 6, and 7 are clearly incorrect.

    *   "Driven by passion" in this context means the jury acted based on strong emotions (likely anger or a desire for retribution) rather than the facts of the case.
    *   Sense 1: "a strong feeling or emotion." This is the most general and accurate description of "passion" when used to contrast with reason or evidence in a legal setting.

    *   Sense 1: a strong feeling or emotion.
    *   Sense 4: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action.
    *   Looking at the phrase "swayed by public passions" and "driven by passion," it refers to the emotional state of the public/jury. Sense 1 is the most direct fit.

    *   Sense 1: a strong feeling or emotion.
    *   Sense 2: the trait of being intensely emotional.
    *   Sense 4: an irrational but irresistible motive.
    *   In the context of "driven by passion," it means the jury's decision was based on emotion rather than reason. Sense 1 is the standard definition for this usage.

2. definition=an authoritative statement | examples=my doctor has the last word on the medicines I take

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The trial judge... tersely rejected the claims... But that is not likely to be the <t>last word</t> on the issue."
    *   Meaning: The judge's ruling is likely not the final decision or the definitive conclusion on the matter, as appeals are expected.

    *   Sense 1: "the final statement in a verbal argument" (e.g., "she always gets the last word"). This usually refers to a petty argument or a conversation where someone insists on having the final say.
    *   Sense 2: "an authoritative statement" (e.g., "my doctor has the last word on the medicines I take"). This refers to a final, definitive, or conclusive decision/authority on a subject.
    *   Sense 3: "elegance by virtue of being fashionable" (chic). This is completely unrelated.

    *   The context discusses a legal ruling that is expected to be challenged in appeals courts.
    *   "Not likely to be the last word on the issue" means the issue is not yet settled definitively.
    *   This aligns with Sense 2 (an authoritative/final statement/decision).

    *   Sense 1 is about interpersonal arguments.
    *   Sense 2 is about finality/authority on a topic.
    *   The context is about a legal decision that isn't final.

    *   Sense 2 is the correct fit.

reasoning_content:

    *   Surrounding text: The text discusses a legal dispute regarding whether intense media reporting and new technology (Twitter) affected a jury's fairness in a trial.

    *   Sense 1: An important question that is in dispute and must be settled. (Fits well: the question of whether technology/media coverage affects trial fairness is in dispute).
    *   Sense 2: A periodical publication. (Doesn't fit).
    *   Sense 3: A situation or event thought about (topic, subject, matter). (Fits, but Sense 1 is more specific to a dispute/legal context).

    *   Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled"
    *   Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter"
    *   The context describes a legal argument ("claims", "appeals arguments", "court filings", "trial judge... rejected the claims"). This is a specific dispute over a legal point (fair-trial rights vs. media coverage).
    *   "The last word on the issue" usually refers to a final decision on a disputed matter.
    *   Sense 1 is a much stronger fit for a legal dispute than the general "topic" of Sense 3.

    *   The "issue" is whether new technology/media coverage requires new courtroom rules to ensure fair trials. This is a question in dispute that needs to be settled by the courts.

    *   Sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy | synonyms=lawsuit, suit, cause, causa"
    *   The context mentions "appeals courts", "trial's fairness", "landmark 1966 ruling", and "overturned the conviction". This fits perfectly with legal proceedings.

    *   Sense 8 ("a problem requiring investigation") is often used for criminal cases (detective work), but Sense 3 is the standard term for the legal proceeding itself in a court of law. The context is about the *coverage* of the legal proceedings and the *fairness* of the trial, which aligns better with Sense 3.

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

Context: One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise <t>questions</t> about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance of questioning | synonyms=inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation | examples=there was a question about my training; we made inquiries of all those who were present
2. definition=the subject matter at issue | synonyms=head | examples=the question of disease merits serious discussion; under the head of minor Roman poets
3. definition=a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply | synonyms=interrogation, interrogative, interrogative sentence | examples=he asked a direct question; he had trouble phrasing his interrogations
4. definition=uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something | synonyms=doubt, dubiousness, doubtfulness | examples=the dubiousness of his claim; there is no question about the validity of the enterprise
5. definition=a formal proposal for action made to a deliberative assembly for discussion and vote | synonyms=motion | examples=he made a motion to adjourn; she called for the question
6. definition=an informal reference to a marriage proposal | examples=he was ready to pop the question

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise <t>questions</t> about a trial's fairness."
    *   Target word: "questions"

    *   Sense 1: An instance of questioning (inquiry, enquiry, query).

    *   Sense 3: A sentence of inquiry asking for a reply (interrogative sentence).
    *   Sense 4: Uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something (doubt, dubiousness).

    *   Sense 6: A marriage proposal.

    *   "coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness."
    *   Does it mean "inquiries" (Sense 1)? Maybe, but "raise questions" often means "create doubt."

    *   Does it mean "interrogative sentences" (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Does it mean "uncertainty/doubt" (Sense 4)? Yes. If coverage raises questions about fairness, it means it makes people doubt whether the trial was fair.
    *   Does it mean "formal proposal" (Sense 5)? No.
    *   Does it mean "marriage proposal" (Sense 6)? No.

    *   Sense 1 (Inquiry): "There was a question about my training." (Asking for information).
    *   Sense 4 (Doubt): "There is no question about the validity of the enterprise." (No doubt).
    *   In the context "raise questions about a trial's fairness," it means to cast doubt on the fairness.

    *   "Raise questions" is a common idiom meaning to make something seem doubtful or to suggest that something may be wrong.
    *   Example: "The new evidence raises questions about the suspect's alibi." (It creates doubt).
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 4: "uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something | synonyms=doubt, dubiousness, doubtfulness".
