Target lemma: challenge
Target surface form: challenge
Context:
The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered. But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a <t>challenge</t> to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case.

*   Target lemma: `challenge`
    *   Target surface form: `challenge`
    *   Context: "They noted in a <t>challenge</t> to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut..."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses defense lawyers, a judge, jurors, the death penalty, and a verdict. The specific sentence refers to a "challenge to the verdict filed last month."

    *   Sense 1: `a demanding or stimulating situation` (e.g., "challenge of Russian power") - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 2: `questioning a statement and demanding an explanation` (e.g., "challenge of the assumption") - This is close, as they are questioning the verdict.
    *   Sense 3: `a call to engage in a contest or fight` - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 4: `a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror` - While the text mentions jurors earlier, this specific "challenge" is "to the verdict," not to a juror.
    *   Sense 5: `a demand by a sentry for a password or identification` - Doesn't fit.

    *   The phrase is "a challenge to the verdict filed last month."
    *   In a legal context, challenging a verdict means formally questioning its validity or legality.
    *   Sense 2 defines it as "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation." While "statement" is broad, in a general sense, a verdict is a statement of judgment.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4. Sense 4 is very specific to jury selection ("challenge for cause" or "peremptory challenge"). The text mentions "challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty" and "challenge to the verdict." Neither of these are about selecting a juror.
    *   Wait, is there a better sense? Let's look at Sense 2 again: "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation."
    *   Is there any other sense of "challenge" in WordNet?
        *   Challenge (noun):
            1.  demanding situation
            2.  questioning a statement/assumption
            3.  call to fight
            4.  objection to juror
            5.  sentry's demand
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4: The "challenge to the verdict" is a formal legal objection to the outcome of the trial. Sense 4 is specifically about *jurors*. Sense 2 is the most general form of questioning the validity of something.

    *   "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month..."
    *   This is a legal filing. It's a formal objection/questioning of the verdict.
    *   Sense 2: "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation".
    *   Sense 4: "a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror".
    *   The "challenge to the verdict" is definitely not Sense 4.
    *   Sense 2 is the only one that fits the act of questioning the validity of the verdict.

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: Yes (questioning the verdict).
    *   Sense 3: No.
    *   Sense 4: No (not about juror selection).
    *   Sense 5: No.

    *   Sense 1 refers to a duration of about 30 days.
    *   Sense 2 refers to a division of the calendar year.
    *   The example for Sense 2 is "he paid the bill last month", which matches the structure "filed last month" perfectly.

    *   Sense 2 is the correct fit for "last month".

    *   The sentence says "the case dominated the news in Connecticut".

    *   This refers to the collective reporting of the case across various media outlets (newspapers, TV, etc.).

    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3: Sense 2 is general information/tidings. Sense 3 is specifically the *reported* information (the press/media).
    *   Given the context "the news media continually fanned the flames", the "news" being dominated refers to the reported information in the press.

    *   Sense 3: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine". This fits the context of "dominating the news" and the subsequent mention of "news media".

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: Possible, but Sense 3 is more specific to the media context.
    *   Sense 3: Fits well.
    *   Sense 4: No.
    *   Sense 5: No.

    *Wait*, let me re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 2: "information about recent and important events" (intelligence, tidings).
    Sense 3: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".

    In "dominated the news", "the news" often refers to the collective body of reported information. Sense 3 is the most precise fit for media coverage.

    Let's check if there's a broader sense of "the news" as in "the news media".
    Sense 3: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
    Sense 5: "a program devoted to current events".

    Actually, "the news" in "dominated the news" often refers to the news cycle or the reported stories. Sense 3 is the closest.

    Let's double-check Sense 2 again. "they awaited news of the outcome". This is more like "word" or "tidings". "Dominated the news" is not "dominated the tidings". It's "dominated the reported information".

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 7: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" (lawsuit, suit, cause).

    The context is heavily focused on the legal proceedings: "jurors", "defense lawyers", "judge", "prosecutors", "verdict", "trial", "courthouse". The "case" refers to the entire legal matter being tried in court.

    While "case" in a criminal context is often used interchangeably with "investigation" (Sense 4), the context here is specifically about the *trial* and the *legal proceedings* (the verdict, the judge, the lawyers). Sense 7 ("proceeding in a court of law") fits the legal context perfectly.

    Wait, let's look closer at Sense 4 vs Sense 7.
    Sense 4: "a problem requiring investigation" (detective work).
    Sense 7: "any proceeding in a court of law".

    The text says "the case dominated the news in Connecticut" and "fanned the flames of emotion about the case." This refers to the legal matter/trial.

    Is it a "lawsuit" (Sense 7)? A criminal trial is a legal proceeding.
    Is it a "problem requiring investigation" (Sense 4)? The investigation happened, but the text is about the trial phase.

    Let's re-read Sense 7: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy".
    In a criminal case, the state seeks a remedy (punishment).

    Let's check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 4: "a problem requiring investigation".
    Sense 7: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law".

    The context is clearly the legal proceeding.

    *Self-Correction:* In many WordNet versions, "case" as in a criminal case is often mapped to the "legal proceeding" sense.

    Let's double-check Sense 4 again. "Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir." This is more about the mystery/investigation.
    The text mentions "the trial", "the verdict", "the judge", "the jurors". This is the court proceeding.

    Therefore, Sense 7 is the most accurate.

    *   Sense 6: "the concentration of attention or energy on something" (e.g., "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology").

    In the sentence "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial," the lawyers are concentrating their attention/argument on the Twitter coverage. This fits both "emphasis" and "concentration of attention."

    Let's look closer at the examples:
    Sense 2: "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed" (Emphasis).
    Sense 6: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology" (Concentration of attention/energy).

    In the context of a legal challenge, the lawyers are focusing their argument/attention on a specific aspect (Twitter coverage). This is a concentration of their attention/argumentative energy.

    Comparing "emphasis" (Sense 2) vs "concentration of attention" (Sense 6):
    "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" means they are centering their argument/attention on it. Sense 6 ("concentration of attention or energy on something") feels slightly more comprehensive for this usage than Sense 2 ("special emphasis").

    Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 6: "the concentration of attention or energy on something".
    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "special emphasis attached to something".

    If I say "The focus of the investigation was the CEO," that's Sense 6.
    If I say "The focus of the lecture was on the French Revolution," that could be Sense 2 or 6.

    In "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial," the lawyers are directing their attention/argument toward Twitter. This is a concentration of attention.

    Let's check WordNet's typical usage for these:
    Sense 6 (focus%1:09:00) is often used for the *act* or *state* of concentrating attention.
    Sense 2 (focus%1:26:00) is often used for the *importance* given to something.

    "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" -> They are concentrating their attention/argument on it.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 6: "focusing, focussing, focal point, direction, centering".
    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "stress".

    "Their stress on the Twitter coverage is controversial" (Sense 2) vs "Their concentration of attention on the Twitter coverage is controversial" (Sense 6).

    Actually, looking at the context again: "They noted in a challenge... They argued that... Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial."
    They are focusing their legal argument on Twitter. This is a concentration of attention/effort.

    Let's double-check Sense 6 again: "the concentration of attention or energy on something". This fits perfectly.

    Is it Sense 2? "special emphasis attached to something".
    If the sentence was "The focus of the report was on the Twitter coverage," it might be Sense 2. But "Their focus" (the lawyers' focus) suggests their active concentration of attention.

    Let's compare:
    - "The focus of the meeting was the budget." (Sense 6 - concentration of attention)
    - "The focus of the study was on the effects of caffeine." (Sense 6 - concentration of attention)
    - "He put a lot of focus on the details." (Sense 2 - emphasis)

    In "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial," it's the lawyers' attention/argumentative energy being directed. Sense 6 is the most fitting.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 6 examples again: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology; he had no direction in his life".
    And Sense 2: "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed".

    Actually, "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" sounds very similar to "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed". They are emphasizing the Twitter part of the media coverage.

    Let's re-read: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames... 'The daily crush of media tweets... was unlike anything ever seen...' Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial."

    They are emphasizing Twitter over other forms of media. This sounds like Sense 2 (special emphasis).

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 6 again: "concentration of attention or energy".
    If you focus your attention on something, you are concentrating on it.

    This is a subtle difference. Let's search for "focus on" in a corpus.
    "Focus on" often maps to the concentration of attention.

    Let's look at the WordNet senses again.
    Sense 6: focus%1:09:00 (concentration of attention)
    Sense 2: focus%1:26:00 (special emphasis)

    If the lawyers are focusing their argument on Twitter, they are concentrating their attention there. If they are putting emphasis on Twitter, they are stressing its importance.

    In the context "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial," it means the fact that they are concentrating their argument on Twitter is what's controversial.

    Let's try to see if "focus" as "concentration of attention" (Sense 6) or "emphasis" (Sense 2) is more common for "Their focus on [X] is [Y]".
    "Their focus on the details is impressive." (Concentration of attention)
    "Their focus on the budget is necessary." (Concentration of attention)

    Sense 6 seems broader and more fitting for the general act of directing attention/effort.

    Let's check Sense 2 again: "special emphasis attached to something".
    "The focus of the discussion was on the new policy." (This could be either).

    Wait, let's look at the synonyms for Sense 6: "focal point, direction, centering".
    And Sense 2: "stress".

    "Their stress on the Twitter coverage is controversial." (Possible, but "stress" here means emphasis).
    "Their focal point on the Twitter coverage is controversial." (Doesn't quite fit).
    "Their concentration of attention on the Twitter coverage is controversial." (Fits well).

    Let's re-examine Sense 6: "the concentration of attention or energy on something".
    This fits the lawyers' action of centering their legal challenge on Twitter.

    Final check:
    Sense 2: special emphasis (stress)
    Sense 6: concentration of attention (focusing)

    The lawyers are concentrating their attention/argument on Twitter. Sense 6.

    *   The context is about media coverage (Twitter, reporters, journalists).
    *   "Instant news" refers to the information being reported immediately via digital platforms (like Twitter) as opposed to traditional, slower reporting.

    *   Sense 1 (program): No, "instant news" doesn't refer to a specific TV program here.
    *   Sense 2 (newsworthiness): No, it's not talking about *how* newsworthy the trial was, but the *speed* of the reporting.
    *   Sense 3 (information reported in a newspaper/magazine): This is close, but "instant news" (especially via Twitter) transcends traditional newspapers/magazines. However, Sense 4 is more general.
    *   Sense 4 (information about recent and important events): This fits well. "Instant news" is information about recent and important events delivered instantly.

    *   Sense 3: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine"
    *   Sense 4: "information about recent and important events"
    *   In the context of "instant news" vs "reports delivered more slowly," the focus is on the *information* itself (the news) and the speed of its delivery. Sense 4 is the most general and accurate description of "news" as the content of reporting. Sense 3 is too restrictive (newspapers/magazines).

    *   The text mentions "news media," "media tweets," and "reports."
    *   "Instant news" = information about recent events delivered instantly.
    *   Sense 4: "information about recent and important events". This is the core meaning of news in this context.

    *   Sense 9 synonyms: opinion, sentiment, persuasion.
    *   While "opinion" (Sense 9) works, "perspective" or "position" (Sense 4) captures the essence of a "Luddite view" (a specific ideological lens) better.

    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"
    *   Sense 3: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
    *   Actually, Sense 8 is the most precise fit for "court of law."

    *   Context: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
    *   This reinforces that "court" refers to the legal institution (lawcourt).

    *   Sense 8 is the most specific and accurate for "court of law."

Target lemma: policy
Target surface form: policy
Context:
But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court <t>policy</t> governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts.

*   Target lemma: `policy`
    *   Target surface form: `policy`
    *   Context: "...some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court <t>policy</t> governing coverage of future trials."

    *   Sense 1: `policy%1:10:02::` - written contract or certificate of insurance. (Clearly incorrect; not about insurance).
    *   Sense 2: `policy%1:10:00::` - a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government. (Close, as it involves government/courts, but it's more about the *rationalization* or the *political line*).
    *   Sense 3: `policy%1:09:00::` - a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group. (This fits well; "court policy" refers to the set of rules or the plan of action the court adopts to govern coverage).

    *   The phrase is "poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."
    *   This refers to the rules, guidelines, or the general approach (plan of action) the court takes.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the "line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government."
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the "plan of action adopted by an individual or social group."
    *   In the context of "court policy," it's less about a political argument (Sense 2) and more about the actual operational guidelines or rules (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: Insurance (No)
    *   Sense 2: Government argument/rationalization (Maybe, but too narrow/specific to political debate)
    *   Sense 3: Plan of action (Yes, fits "court policy" as a set of rules/guidelines)

    *   "Court policy" is a standard way of saying "the rules/procedures the court follows." This aligns best with a "plan of action adopted by a social group" (the court).
