Target lemma: major
Target surface form: major
Context:
Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century. In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives. Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%. As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress. In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the <t>major</t> - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress. Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the opposite.

    *   The phrase is "major-party popular vote".
    *   In the context of US politics, "major parties" refers to the dominant political parties (Democrats and Republicans).
    *   This describes parties that are larger in size, number of members, or overall influence/stature compared to "minor parties" (third parties).

    *   Sense 1: Legal age (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: Greater importance or stature or rank (Possible - major parties have higher stature/rank)
    *   Sense 3: Academic study (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: Greater in number or size or amount (Possible - major parties have more voters/members)
    *   Sense 5: Scale or mode (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 6: Greater in scope or effect (Possible, but less precise than 2 or 4)
    *   Sense 7: Elder of two boys (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 8: Greater seriousness or danger (Incorrect)

    *   "Major party" usually refers to the parties that dominate the political system.
    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Comparing "major party" to "minor party": A major party is one that has a significant number of voters and holds a dominant position (stature/rank).
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical usage for "major party", it often aligns with "importance or stature" (Sense 2) or "size/number" (Sense 4).
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank". Examples: "a major artist", "a major role".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount". Examples: "a major portion (a majority) of the population".
    *   In the phrase "major-party popular vote", "major" modifies "party". A "major party" is a party of greater importance/stature/rank in the political system.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "of greater importance or stature or rank".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "greater in number or size or amount".
    *   In political science, a "major party" is defined by its ability to win elections and its overall influence (stature/rank), though this is often a result of its size.
    *   Comparing "major artist" (Sense 2) to "major portion" (Sense 4). "Major party" feels closer to "major artist" (importance/stature) than "major portion" (quantity).

    *   Sense 2: importance, stature, rank.
    *   Sense 4: number, size, amount.
    *   Sense 6: scope, effect.
    *   A "major party" is a party that is more important/prominent than others.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   If I say "the major parties", I mean the ones with the most power and influence (stature/rank).

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   In the context of "major-party popular vote", it refers to the two dominant parties. This is a matter of stature/rank in the political hierarchy.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   Actually, looking at how "major" is used in "major party", it's often contrasted with "minor party". A major party is one that is more important/prominent. Sense 2 fits best.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 4 again. "greater in number or size or amount". "A major portion of the population".
    *   Is a "major party" a "large party"? Yes. Is it an "important party"? Yes.
    *   Usually, "major" in "major party" refers to the status/rank of the party.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   If we look at "major" as in "major league", that's stature/rank. "Major party" is similar.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   Let's try to find "major party" in a dictionary. Merriam-Webster: "major: 1a: greater in size, amount, or degree... 1b: more important".
    *   WordNet's Sense 2 is "greater importance or stature or rank".
    *   WordNet's Sense 4 is "greater in number or size or amount".
    *   WordNet's Sense 6 is "greater in scope or effect".
    *   In the context of "major-party popular vote", it refers to the parties that are the primary contenders. This is more about their status/rank (Sense 2) than just their size (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   Looking at the examples: "a major artist" (Sense 2), "a major portion" (Sense 4), "a major contribution" (Sense 6).
    *   "Major party" is more like "major artist" (a prominent/important one) than "major portion" (a large amount).

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   Wait, let me think about "major party" again. It's a party that has a significant number of votes. But it's also the party that holds the power.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount".
    *   In the phrase "major-party popular vote", it's referring to the votes cast for the two main parties. This is a classification of the parties based on their status.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   If I had to choose between "important" and "large" for "major party", "important" (in terms of political power/stature) is a better fit for the *type* of party.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   Let's consider "major" in "major league". That's definitely stature/rank. "Major party" is very similar.

    *   Sense 2: "of greater importance or stature or rank"
    *   Sense 4: "greater in number or size or amount"
    *   Sense 6: "greater in scope or effect"
    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 4 again: "greater in number or size or amount". Example: "a major portion (a majority) of the population".
    *   "Major party" doesn't mean "a majority party" (though it can be). It means one of the main parties.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 ("greater importance or stature or rank") is the most appropriate.

    *   The phrase is "the major-party popular vote for president".
    *   "Popular vote" refers to the total number of individual votes cast for a candidate, often used to distinguish it from the Electoral College.
    *   It describes the collective choices/ballots cast by the electorate.

    *   Sense 3: "a body of voters who have the same interests". Example: "the Black vote". "Popular vote" isn't a specific demographic group; it's the aggregate of all votes.
    *   Sense 4: "a legal right". Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 5: "the total number of voters who participated" (voter turnout). "Popular vote" usually refers to the distribution of votes among candidates, not just the turnout.

    *   Looking at Sense 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".

However, in some contexts, "the [X] vote" refers to the group of people who voted for X. But "popular vote" is a standard term for the aggregate count.

    *   Sense 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Sense 5: "the total number of voters who participated" (voter turnout).
    *   "Popular vote" is the total number of votes cast for a candidate. If the GOP captured 40% of the popular vote, they got 40% of the total choices made. This is Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Sense 3: "a body of voters who have the same interests".

    *   "Popular vote" = the total count of votes cast for candidates. This is most closely aligned with Sense 1 (the result of counting the choices).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again. "a body of voters who have the same interests". "The popular vote" isn't a body of voters with the same interests.
    *   Sense 1 is the most fitting because "popular vote" refers to the aggregate of the individual choices (ballots).

    *   "the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote"
    *   This means they got a higher percentage of the total ballots cast.

    *   Sense 4: Executive officer of a firm or corporation. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: Officer who presides at meetings of an organization. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 6: Chief executive of a republic. (General term)

    *   The phrase is "popular vote for president".
    *   In the context of US elections, "vote for president" refers to the election for the office of the President of the United States.
    *   Sense 2: "the office of the United States head of state"
    *   Sense 3: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
    *   Sense 6: "the chief executive of a republic" (Too general, the context is specifically about the US).

    *   When people vote "for president", are they voting for the *office* or the *person*?
    *   Usually, "vote for [position]" refers to the office/position being filled.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "a President is elected every four years" (Refers to the office/position).
        *   Sense 3: "the President likes to jog every morning" (Refers to the specific person currently holding the office).
    *   In "popular vote for president", "president" functions as the name of the office/position being contested.

    *   Sense 2: "the office of the United States head of state"
    *   Sense 3: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
    *   Comparing "vote for president" to "vote for governor" or "vote for senator", it refers to the office.

    *   Wait, let me re-read the context again. "voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress." "popular vote for president".
    *   In "races for president", "president" is the office.
    *   Sense 2 specifically defines "the office of the United States head of state".
    *   Sense 3 defines "the person who holds the office".

    *   Sense 2: office of the US head of state.
    *   Sense 3: person who holds the office.
    *   "Vote for president" -> Vote for the office/position.

    *   Sense 2: `president%1:04:04::` (office)
    *   Sense 3: `president%1:18:04::` (person)
    *   Sense 6: `president%1:18:00::` (chief executive of a republic)

    *   The context is clearly the US. Sense 2 and 3 are US-specific. Sense 6 is general.
    *   "Vote for president" refers to the office.

    *   Sense 2: "the office of the United States head of state"
    *   Sense 3: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
    *   If you vote for "president", you are voting for the office of the president.

    *   Wait, let me double-check if "president" in "vote for president" is usually treated as the person or the office in WordNet-style disambiguation.
    *   Example for Sense 2: "a President is elected every four years". This matches the context of elections.
    *   Example for Sense 3: "the President likes to jog every morning". This refers to a specific individual.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

Context:
Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century. In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives. Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%. As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress. In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional <t>seats</t> or the popular vote for Congress. Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the opposite.

    *   The text discusses "popular vote for president" and "popular vote for Congress."

    *   "Popular vote" refers to the total count of individual votes cast for a candidate or party, as opposed to the Electoral College or the number of seats won.
    *   Looking at the senses:
        *   Sense 1 (voter turnout) is about *how many* people voted, not *who* they voted for.
        *   Sense 2 (suffrage) is about the *right* to vote.
        *   Sense 3 (body of voters) refers to a specific demographic or group (e.g., "the youth vote", "the Black vote"). "Popular vote" isn't a demographic; it's the aggregate of all votes.
        *   Sense 4 (a choice made by counting / balloting) refers to the process or the individual act/count.
        *   Sense 5 (the opinion of a group as determined by voting) is similar to Sense 4.

    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 4 and Sense 1.
    *   "Popular vote" usually means the total number of votes cast for a candidate.
    *   Sense 4: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative" (synonyms: ballot, voting, balloting).
    *   Sense 1: "the total number of voters who participated" (synonym: voter turnout).
    *   In the phrase "percentage of the major-party popular vote", it refers to the total count of votes cast for the candidates.
    *   Is "popular vote" a "body of voters" (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Is it "voter turnout" (Sense 1)? No, turnout is the total number of people who showed up, regardless of who they voted for. The "popular vote for Congress" refers to the votes cast *for* the candidates.
    *   Is it "a choice that is made by counting" (Sense 4)? Yes, the "popular vote" is the result of the balloting/voting process.

    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Example: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion".
    *   "Popular vote" is the aggregate of these individual choices.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 3: "a body of voters who have the same interests". Example: "he failed to get the Black vote".
    *   Could "popular vote" be seen as the body of all voters? Not typically. "The popular vote" refers to the total count of votes.

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4 vs Sense 1.
    *   "the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote"
    *   This means the GOP received more individual votes.
    *   Sense 4: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Sense 1: "the total number of voters who participated".
    *   If the GOP captured 52% of the popular vote, it means 52% of the total votes cast went to them.
    *   Sense 4 fits best as it describes the result of the counting process (the votes themselves).

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 4 again. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Actually, "popular vote" is often used as a mass noun meaning the total count of votes.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4's synonyms: "ballot, voting, balloting".
    *   "The popular voting for Congress" (doesn't sound right).
    *   "The popular balloting for Congress" (doesn't sound right).

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "the total number of voters who participated".
    *   If the GOP captured 52% of the "total number of voters who participated", that's exactly what the popular vote percentage is.
    *   However, "voter turnout" is the standard synonym for Sense 1. "Turnout was high" = "The total number of voters who participated was high."
    *   "The GOP captured 52% of the turnout" is not how we say it. We say "The GOP captured 52% of the vote."

    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "a body of voters who have the same interests".
    *   "The Black vote", "The youth vote", "The popular vote"? No, "popular" doesn't describe a specific interest group.

    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   If we treat "the vote" as the collective result of the balloting.

    *   Let's search for "popular vote" in a dictionary.
    *   Merriam-Webster: "the total number of individual votes cast in an election".
    *   This sounds like a combination of Sense 1 (total number) and Sense 4 (the votes cast).

    *   Let's re-read the senses carefully.
    *   1: total number of voters who participated (turnout)
    *   2: right to vote (suffrage)
    *   3: body of voters with same interests (e.g., Black vote)
    *   4: a choice made by counting (ballot, voting)
    *   5: opinion of a group as determined by voting

    *   If the GOP captured a percentage of the "popular vote", they captured a percentage of the total votes cast.
    *   Is "the vote" in "popular vote" the same as "the Black vote" (Sense 3)?
    *   "The Black vote" = the group of Black voters.
    *   "The popular vote" = the group of all voters? No, that's not what "popular vote" means. "Popular vote" is the *count* of votes.

    *   Let's reconsider Sense 4. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   If "the vote" refers to the collective result of the balloting.

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again. "the total number of voters who participated".
    *   If the GOP captured 52% of the total number of voters who participated... that's almost exactly what "popular vote" means in this context.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 4's example: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion".
    *   This refers to the individual votes. "The popular vote" is the sum of these individual votes.

    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 4 again.
    *   Sense 1: "the total number of voters who participated" (voter turnout).
    *   Sense 4: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative" (ballot, voting).

    *   In "popular vote", "popular" means "of the people" (the general population).
    *   So "popular vote" = the vote of the general population.
    *   This sounds like Sense 4 (the result of the voting/balloting).

    *   Let's try to see if "popular vote" fits Sense 3.
    *   Sense 3: "a body of voters who have the same interests".
    *   If the "popular vote" is the body of all voters? No, that's not a specific interest group.

    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   This is the most plausible, as "the vote" often refers to the total count of votes cast.

    *   Wait, I just found another source for WordNet senses.
    *   Sense 1: total number of voters who participated (turnout)
    *   Sense 4: a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative.
    *   In the phrase "percentage of the popular vote", "vote" refers to the total number of votes cast.
    *   If you have 100 votes cast, and the GOP gets 52, they got 52% of the vote.
    *   The "vote" here is the total count of choices made. This matches Sense 4 better than Sense 1 (which is the number of *people* who showed up).

    *   Let's double-check Sense 4 again. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Example: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion".
    *   This fits. The "popular vote" is the total of these "votes".

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "the total number of voters who participated".
    *   If 100 people participate, the "vote" (turnout) is 100.
    *   If the GOP gets 52 votes, they got 52% of the "vote" (the total number of voters who participated).
    *   This also fits.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "voter turnout".
    *   "The GOP captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular voter turnout for president..." (No, that's not right).
    *   "The GOP captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular balloting for president..." (No).

    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again. Synonyms: "ballot, voting, balloting".
    *   "The GOP captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular voting for president..." (Still not quite right, but closer).

    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "a body of voters who have the same interests".
    *   "The Black vote", "The Hispanic vote", "The popular vote".
    *   Wait, "the popular vote" isn't a specific interest group, but it *is* a body of voters (the entire voting population).
    *   But "popular vote" usually refers to the *result* (the count), not the *people*.

    *   Let's re-examine the context: "the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."
    *   This is comparing the percentage of the total votes cast (popular vote) to the number of seats won.
    *   This is a very common political science comparison.
    *   The "popular vote" is the total number of votes cast for all candidates.

    *   Let's look at the senses one more time.
    *   1. total number of voters who participated (turnout)
    *   4. a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative (ballot, voting)

    *   If you say "the vote was 52 to 48", you are using Sense 4.
    *   If you say "the popular vote was 60 million", you are using Sense 4 (the total count of choices).
    *   If you say "voter turnout was 60 million", you are using Sense 1.

    *   In "percentage of the popular vote", the "vote" is the total count of votes cast.
    *   This matches Sense 4.

    *   Wait, let me check Sense 3 again. "a body of voters who have the same interests".
    *   Could "the popular vote" be the "body of all voters"?
    *   "The GOP captured a greater percentage of the [body of all voters] for president..."
    *   No, that doesn't make sense. You capture a percentage of the *votes*, not a percentage of the *body of voters* (though it's logically similar, the phrasing "percentage of the vote" always refers to the count).

    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   This is the most standard way to describe the "vote" in "popular vote".

    *   Let me double-check Sense 1 one more time. "the total number of voters who participated".
    *   If the "popular vote" is the total number of voters who participated, then "percentage of the popular vote" is "percentage of the total number of voters who participated".
    *   This is also logically sound.

    *   Let's compare:
        *   Sense 1: total number of voters who participated (turnout)
        *   Sense 4: a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative (ballot, voting)

    *   If the context is "the popular vote for president", it's referring to the aggregate of all the individual votes (Sense 4).
    *   If it were "voter turnout", it would be Sense 1.
    *   "Popular vote" is not "voter turnout". "Popular vote" is the total count of votes cast for candidates.

    *   Therefore, Sense 4 is the best fit.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 4 again. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
    *   Example: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion".
    *   This is the *result* of the counting.
    *   "The popular vote" is the result of the counting of all individual ballots.

    *   Let's check Sense 5: "the opinion of a group as determined by voting".
    *   "The popular vote" = the opinion of the people as determined by voting.
    *   This is also possible, but "percentage of the popular vote" suggests a numerical count (Sense 4) rather than a general opinion (Sense 5).

    *   Final check:
        *   Sense 1: Turnout (number of people who showed up).

Target lemma: opposite
Target surface form: opposite
Context:
Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century. In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives. Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%. As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress. In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress. Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the <t>opposite</t>. What accounts for the results of recent decades?

    *   Context: "In every presidential election over the past half century... the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats... Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the <t>opposite</t>."

    *   Sense 1: A word that expresses a meaning opposed to another (antonym). (Linguistic sense)
    *   Sense 2: A contestant matched against (opponent). (Person sense)
    *   Sense 3: A relation of direct opposition (reverse, contrary). Example: "we thought Sue was older than Bill but just the reverse was true".
    *   Sense 4: Something inverted in sequence or character or effect (inverse). Example: "when the direct approach failed he tried the inverse".

    *   The text describes a pattern: GOP % for President > GOP % for Congress.
    *   It then says that prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the "opposite".
    *   This means the pattern was: GOP % for President < GOP % for Congress (or Democratic % for President > Democratic % for Congress).
    *   This is a description of a relationship or a state of affairs being the reverse of another.

    *   Sense 1 (antonym) is for words. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2 (opponent) is for people. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3 (reverse, contrary) fits well. "The pattern was nearly the reverse."
    *   Sense 4 (inverse) often refers to mathematical inverses or inverted sequences/effects. While similar to Sense 3, Sense 3's example ("we thought Sue was older than Bill but just the reverse was true") mirrors the structure of the context (Pattern A was true, but actually Pattern B [the opposite/reverse] was true).

    *   Sense 3: "a relation of direct opposition" (synonyms: reverse, contrary).
    *   Sense 4: "something inverted in sequence or character or effect" (synonym: inverse).
    *   In the context of a "pattern" being the opposite, "reverse" (Sense 3) is a more natural fit for a general state of affairs or a trend than "inverse" (Sense 4), which often implies a more formal or mathematical inversion.

    *   Context: "the pattern was nearly the opposite."
    *   Sense 3: "we thought Sue was older than Bill but just the reverse was true."
    *   The logic is identical: [Statement A] was true, but [Statement B (the opposite/reverse)] was true.

    *   The text discusses election patterns (split-ticket voting) over several decades.

    *   Sense 1 (solution/answer): Doesn't fit. The "results" aren't solutions to a problem.

    *   Sense 3 (semantic role): Completely irrelevant (linguistics).
    *   Sense 4 (something that results/outcome): This fits best. "Results" in the context of elections (like "election results") refers to the final outcomes or the data produced by the event. The example "he listened for the results on the radio" is a perfect parallel to election results.

    *   Sense 2 is "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (consequence).
    *   Sense 4 is "something that results" (outcome, final result).
    *   In the context of "election results," we are talking about the outcome of the process, not necessarily the "consequence" of a previous event (though the results are caused by voting, the word "results" specifically denotes the outcome of the contest). Sense 4's example ("listened for the results on the radio") is the classic usage for election results.

    *   A "simple theory" is one that is not complex, not complicated, and easy to understand.

    *   Sense 1: "having few parts; not complex or complicated or involved" (e.g., a simple problem). This fits well.

        *   Sense 1: "a simple problem; simple mechanisms"
        *   Sense 7: "an elementary problem in statistics; elementary, my dear Watson"
    *   In the context of a "theory", "simple" usually means it's not complex (Sense 1) or it's easy to understand (Sense 7).
    *   However, "not complex or complicated" (Sense 1) is the most direct description of a theory that is straightforward. Sense 7 emphasizes the "easiness" or "elementary" nature.
    *   Let's re-read: "A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation..."
    *   Usually, when describing a theory as "simple", it means it's not overly complex (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: `simple%3:00:02::` (not complex)
    *   Sense 7: `simple%5:00:00:easy:01` (easy/elementary)
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "simple" meaning "not complex" is mapped to the sense that emphasizes the lack of complexity rather than the ease of execution.
    *   Comparing "a simple problem" (Sense 1) and "an elementary problem" (Sense 7). A theory is more like a mechanism or a structure (Sense 1) than a task to be solved (Sense 7).

    *   Sense 1: "having few parts; not complex or complicated or involved"
    *   Sense 7: "easy and not involved or complicated"
    *   The distinction is subtle. Sense 1 is about the *nature* of the thing (few parts, not complex), while Sense 7 is about the *experience* of dealing with it (easy). A theory's simplicity is usually about its structure (few assumptions, not complex).

    *   Sense 1: `simple%3:00:02::`
    *   Sense 7: `simple%5:00:00:easy:01`
    *   Wait, looking at the provided senses again:

        7. `simple%5:00:00:easy:01` - easy and not involved or complicated
    *   "A simple economic theory" refers to a theory that is not complex. Sense 1 is the most general and fitting description for a theory's structure.

    *   Sense 1: "having few parts; not complex or complicated or involved"
    *   Sense 7: "easy and not involved or complicated"
    *   If I say "a simple explanation", I usually mean it's not complex.
    *   Let's check the examples again. Sense 1: "a simple problem". Sense 7: "an elementary problem in statistics".
    *   A "simple theory" is more akin to a "simple problem" (not complex) than an "elementary problem" (easy/basic).

    *   Sense 1: `simple%3:00:02::`
    *   Sense 7: `simple%5:00:00:easy:01`
    *   Actually, in many contexts, these are nearly interchangeable. But "not complex" (Sense 1) is the primary meaning of "simple" when applied to a theory or model.

    *   Sense 1: `simple%3:00:02::`

        2.  `partial%5:00:00:inclined:02`: (followed by 'of' or 'to') having a strong preference or liking for (fond)
        3.  `partial%5:00:00:incomplete:00`: being or affecting only a part; not total (incomplete)

    *   The sentence says: "A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation..."
    *   In this context, "partial explanation" means an explanation that covers some, but not all, of the reasons or factors. It means the explanation is not complete or total.

    *   Sense 1 (favoritism/biased): Does the theory show favoritism? No.
    *   Sense 2 (fond of/preference): Is the theory fond of something? No.
    *   Sense 3 (incomplete/not total): Is the explanation incomplete or only covering part of the issue? Yes.

    *   Sense 3 matches perfectly.

Context:
Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%. As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress. In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress. Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the opposite. What accounts for the results of recent decades? A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation for the split personality <t>displayed</t> by Americans in the voting booth. The theory relies on three assumptions:

    *   Target surface form: `displayed`
    *   Context: "...A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation for the split personality <t>displayed</t> by Americans in the voting booth."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `display%2:39:00::` - to show, make visible or apparent (synonyms: expose, exhibit).
        2.  `display%2:41:00::` - attract attention by displaying some body part or posing; of animals.

    *   The sentence discusses a "split personality displayed by Americans in the voting booth."
    *   "Split personality" here refers to a behavioral pattern or a characteristic (voting for Republicans for president but not for Congress).
    *   "Displayed" in this context means "shown," "exhibited," or "manifested."

    *   Sense 1: "to show, make visible or apparent." This fits perfectly. The "split personality" (behavioral pattern) is being shown or exhibited by the voters.
    *   Sense 2: "attract attention by displaying some body part or posing; of animals." This is clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1 is the correct fit.
