reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify the correct sense of the word "case" in the sentence: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the <t>case</t>."

1.  **Analyze the sentence context:** "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case."
    *   The phrase "fanned the flames of emotion about the [X]" suggests that [X] is the subject of the emotion or the topic being discussed/exaggerated.
    *   The structure implies that the "case" is something that exists, is being discussed, or is a situation.

2.  **Examine the senses of "case":**

    *   1. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment (Focuses on an event/instance)
    *   2. definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded (Focuses on a specific situation/set of conditions)
    *   3. definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy (Focuses on a legal proceeding)
    *   4. definition=the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case (Focuses on a condition/reality)
    *   5. definition=a portable container for carrying several objects | examples=the musicians left their instrument cases backstage (Focuses on a container)
    *   6. definition=a person requiring professional services | examples=a typical case was the suburban housewife described by a marriage counselor (Focuses on a person needing help)
    *   7. definition=a person who is subjected to experimental or other observational procedures; someone who is an object of investigation (Focuses on a subject/object of study)
    *   8. definition=a problem requiring investigation | examples=Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir (Focuses on an investigation/mystery)
    *   9. definition=a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument | examples=he stated his case clearly (Focuses on an argument/plea)
    *   10. definition=the quantity contained in a case (Focuses on amount)
    *   11. definition=nouns or pronouns or adjectives... (Grammatical sense - unlikely in this context)
    *   12. definition=a specific state of mind that is temporary | examples=a case of the jitters (Focuses on a temporary feeling)
    *   13. definition=a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities) (Focuses on a type of person)
    *   14. definition=a specific size and style of type within a type family (Focuses on typography)
    *   15. definition=an enveloping structure or covering enclosing an animal or plant organ or part (Focuses on an enclosure)
    *   16. definition=the housing or outer covering of something (Focuses on an outer shell/container)
    *   17. definition=the enclosing frame around a door or window opening (Focuses on a frame)
    *   18. definition=(printing) the receptacle in which a compositor has his type (Focuses on printing)
    *   19. definition=bed linen consisting of a cover for a pillow (Focuses on bedding)
    *   20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home (Focuses on a display container)

3.  **Match context to senses:**
    *   The sentence discusses the media fanning emotion about *something*. This suggests a situation, a problem, or a subject of debate.

    *   Sense 8: definition=a problem requiring investigation | examples=Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir. (Fits the idea of a topic/issue that is being investigated or discussed.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded. (Fits the idea of a specific situation.)
    *   Sense 4: definition=the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case. (Less likely, as they are arguing *about* the case, not denying the state of things.)

4.  **Refine the choice:**
    *   "fanned the flames of emotion about the case" implies the case itself is the subject of the emotion.
    *   If the argument is about a specific situation or set of circumstances (Sense 2), that works.
    *   If the argument is about a problem that needs solving (Sense 8), that also works.

    *   Let's re-read the examples provided for Sense 8: "Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir." This is a classic usage where "case" means a mystery or problem.
    *   Let's re-read the examples provided for Sense 2: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded." This is about logical conditions.

    *   In the context of media and emotion, the "case" is likely referring to a specific situation or issue that is being highlighted. Sense 2 ("a special set of circumstances") or Sense 8 ("a problem requiring investigation") are the strongest candidates.

    *   However, if we consider the common usage in journalism/media, "case" often refers to a specific situation or instance (Sense 1) or a problem (Sense 8). Given the dramatic phrasing ("fanned the flames of emotion"), it points toward a specific issue or problem.

    *   Let's check Sense 8 again: "a problem requiring investigation." This fits the idea that the media is focusing on an issue that needs attention/investigation.

    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "a special set of circumstances." This also fits.

    *   If the sentence meant "They argued about the case," it could be Sense 9 (statement of facts). But the structure is "fanned the flames of emotion about the case."

    *   Sense 8 is the most idiomatic fit for "case" as a subject of public discussion/emotion.

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

Senses:

2. definition=a building that houses judicial courts

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "courthouse" is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the <t>courthouse</t>," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide."

3.  **Analyze the Context Clues:**
    *   The sentence describes activity happening *outside* the building.
    *   The people involved are "lawyers" (implying legal proceedings).
    *   The context involves "media tweets, cameras and reporters."
    *   The overall tone suggests a place where legal/governmental business occurs.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a government building that houses the offices of a county government
    *   Sense 2: definition=a building that houses judicial courts

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The sentence focuses on lawyers and the general atmosphere/activity outside the building.
    *   Sense 1 (county government offices) and Sense 2 (judicial courts) are both highly relevant to a courthouse.
    *   However, the primary function of a courthouse is to house judicial courts (Sense 2).

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** While a courthouse houses government offices (Sense 1), its defining characteristic is housing the courts. The context of lawyers and the general public/media interaction strongly points to the judicial function.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 (a building that houses judicial courts) is the most direct and specific fit for the context provided.

3.  **Examine the Context of `<t>news</t>`:**
    *   The sentence discusses the comparison between "instant news" and "reports delivered more slowly."
    *   It discusses the *nature* and *impact* of receiving information (news) quickly versus slowly in the context of journalism and court policy.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=information about recent and important events | examples=they awaited news of the outcome. (Focuses on the content/timeliness of events.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**

    *   The sentence is comparing the *speed* and *impact* of receiving information (instant news vs. slow reports).

    *   Sense 1 (information about recent and important events) fits the general topic of what news *is*.
    *   Sense 5 (the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported) fits the idea of "newsworthiness" implied by the comparison.

6.  **Refine the Choice (Distinguishing 1 and 5):**
    *   The sentence is about the *type* of information (instant vs. slow reports) and its effect.
    *   If the focus were purely on the *content* (what the news is about), Sense 1 is strong.
    *   If the focus were purely on the *value* of the information (why it matters), Sense 5 is strong.
    *   The phrase "instant news was more incendiary" suggests a judgment about the *value* or *quality* of that information. Sense 5 directly addresses the quality of being reported/newsworthy.

    *   Let's re-read the examples.
        *   Sense 1 example: "they awaited news of the outcome" (Focus on the event/outcome).
        *   Sense 5 example: "the judge conceded the newsworthiness of the trial" (Focus on the quality of being newsworthy).

    *   The sentence is debating whether *instant news* (the quality/speed of reporting) is more impactful. This aligns best with Sense 5.

7.  **Final Check:** The core debate is about the *quality* or *value* of the information being reported. Sense 5 captures this idea best.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than <t>reports</t> delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."

3.  **Examine the Context of the Target Word ("reports"):**
    *   The sentence is discussing the speed of news delivery ("instant news" vs. "reports delivered more slowly").
    *   The word "reports" is used in a comparative context related to news/information delivery.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale (Focus: Written document/findings)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of informing by verbal report | examples=he heard reports that they were causing trouble (Focus: Act of informing/verbal communication)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a short account of the news | examples=the report of his speech (Focus: Short account/summary of news)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing) | examples=they heard a violent report followed by silence (Focus: Sound)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The sentence is talking about news delivery/information.
    *   Sense 1 (Written document/findings) - Possible, but less likely in this flow.
    *   Sense 2 (Act of informing by verbal report) - Possible.
    *   Sense 3 (Short account of the news) - Very strong fit, as "reports" here refers to pieces of news or information.
    *   Sense 4 (Sound) - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 5 (School evaluation) - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 6 (Essay) - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 7 (Estimation/reputation) - Incorrect.

6.  **Refine the Choice between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   The structure is: "instant news was more incendiary than [reports delivered more slowly]". This treats "reports" as the medium or product of news delivery.
    *   Sense 3: "a short account of the news." This fits the idea of news items.
    *   Sense 2: "the act of informing by verbal report." This focuses more on the *action* of reporting rather than the *content* being compared (instant news vs. slow reports).

    *   In the context of journalism and news flow, "reports" typically refers to the news items themselves (accounts of events). Therefore, Sense 3 is the most appropriate fit.

7.  **Final Check:** The sentence compares the speed/impact of instant news versus reports delivered slowly. "Reports" functions as the news items. Sense 3 defines "a short account of the news."

    *   It also involves a "claim" and a "belief" (Sense 5 or 6).
    *   Sense 5: "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty." (Fits well with "Luddite view" as a judgment.)
    *   Sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." (Fits well with the general concept of a perspective.)

6.  **Refine the Choice (Distinguishing 1 and 5):**
    *   "View" in the context of an argument or claim usually refers to the perspective or standpoint taken on the issue. Sense 1 ("a way of regarding situations or topics") is the most direct fit for describing a conceptual perspective. Sense 5 ("a personal belief or judgment") is also very close, but Sense 1 captures the *manner* of considering the topic, which is what a "view" often signifies in academic/journalistic discourse.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the best fit for "a Luddite view" meaning a specific perspective or way of considering the topic.

    *   Sense 8 defines a specific type of judicial body (a tribunal).

    *   Let's re-read the usage: "...would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials." This refers to the rules/system governing the trials. Both 1 and 8 are highly relevant.

    *   However, Sense 1 is the most general definition of "court" in the legal sense (an assembly to conduct judicial business). Sense 8 is a specific type of judicial body (a tribunal). Since the context is about *policy* governing *trials*, Sense 1 (the judicial system/assembly) is the most encompassing fit for "court policy."

7.  **Final Check:** The context is legal/judicial. Sense 1 is the definition of a court as a judicial assembly.

    *   *Check Sense 2:* Does it relate to the extent to which something is covered? Yes, governing the extent of what is covered (reported/included).
    *   *Check Sense 3:* Does it relate to news as presented by reporters? Yes, coverage often means the reporting of an event.

6.  **Refine the Distinction between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 3 is specifically about *journalistic news*.
    *   Sense 2 is about the *scope/extent* of what is included or reported.

    In the context of "coverage of future trials," the meaning is primarily about the scope or extent of what is being reported or included in the legal proceedings/media reports.

    Let's re-read the examples:

    *   Sense 3 example: "biased coverage of race relations" (Journalistic reporting).

    The sentence is about the *policy governing* what is covered (the scope/extent). While it involves news, the focus is on the *policy* regarding the inclusion/reporting of the trials. Sense 2 ("the extent to which something is covered") seems the most direct fit for "governing coverage."

2. definition=the process of adapting to something (such as environmental conditions)
3. definition=(physiology) the responsive adjustment of a sense organ (as the eye) to varying conditions (as of light)

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "adaptation" (marked with `<t>adaptation</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required <t>adaptation</t> by the courts."

3.  **Determine the Contextual Meaning of "adaptation":**
    *   The context involves "social and technological changes" and what these changes "required" for the courts.
    *   The structure is: [changes] required [X] by the courts.
    *   This suggests a process of adjusting or changing to meet new conditions.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form | examples=the play is an adaptation of a short novel (Focus: Literary/media transformation).
    *   Sense 2: definition=the process of adapting to something (such as environmental conditions) (Focus: Adjusting to conditions/environment).
    *   Sense 3: definition=(physiology) the responsive adjustment of a sense organ (as the eye) to varying conditions (as of light) (Focus: Biological/sensory adjustment).

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence is about social and technological changes requiring adjustment/change.
    *   Sense 1 (Literary adaptation) does not fit.
    *   Sense 3 (Physiological adjustment of a sense organ) does not fit.
    *   Sense 2 (the process of adapting to something (such as environmental conditions)) fits perfectly, as social and technological changes are treated as "conditions" that require adaptation.

6.  **Conclusion:** The correct sense is number 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "court" (marked with `<t>courts</t>`) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the <t>courts</t>."

3.  **Examine the Context of "courts":**
    *   The sentence discusses "appeals courts" and arguments related to social and technological changes.
    *   The context is clearly legal/judicial.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business:** (Matches the context of "appeals courts" and legal arguments.)
    *   **2. definition=a room in which a lawcourt sits | examples=television cameras were admitted in the courtroom:** (Relates to a physical location, but the primary usage here is institutional/functional.)
    *   **3. definition=the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state:** (Relates to royalty/government, not judicial bodies.)
    *   **4. definition=a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played | examples=players had to reserve a court in advance:** (Relates to sports/games.)
    *   **5. definition=Australian woman tennis player who won many major championships (born in 1947):** (Relates to sports/people.)
    *   **6. definition=the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince:** (Relates to royalty.)
    *   **7. definition=a hotel for motorists; provides direct access from rooms to parking area:** (Relates to lodging.)
    *   **8. definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws:** (Matches the context of judicial bodies/courts.)

    *   **11. definition=respectful deference | examples=pay court to the emperor:** (Relates to respect/deference.)

5.  **Compare Context to Senses:**
    *   The sentence uses "appeals courts" (a type of judicial body).
    *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business." (Strong match.)
    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws." (Strong match.)

6.  **Determine the Best Fit (Distinguishing 1 and 8):**
    *   The sentence refers to "appeals courts," which are judicial bodies.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the function ("conduct judicial business").
    *   Sense 8 focuses on the structure ("a tribunal... who administer justice").
    *   Both are highly relevant. However, Sense 1 is a very direct definition of a court as a judicial assembly. Sense 8 is also excellent. In the context of legal discourse, "court" most often refers to the institution or the assembly of judges.

    *   Let's re-read the sentence: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments..." This refers to the *function* and *nature* of the judicial body.

    *   Sense 1: definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business. (Perfect fit.)
    *   Sense 8: definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws. (Perfect fit.)

    *   Since both 1 and 8 describe judicial bodies, I must choose the most precise fit or the one that is typically prioritized. Both are equally valid definitions of a court in a legal context. I will select the definition that most broadly captures the institutional nature implied by "appeals courts."

    *   Sense 1: "an assembly... to conduct judicial business." (Focuses on the collective function.)
    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by... who administer justice." (Focuses on the structure and administration.)

    *   Both are correct. If forced to choose the most fundamental definition of a court as an institution, Sense 1 is often preferred.

7.  **Final Check:** The word "courts" in the sentence refers to judicial institutions. Sense 1 defines a court as an assembly for judicial business.

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

Sentence: Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that <t>claim</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages
2. definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent
3. definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day
4. definition=an informal right to something | examples=his claim on her attentions
5. definition=an established or recognized right | examples=a strong legal claim to the property
6. definition=a demand especially in the phrase | examples=the call of duty

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "claim" is used in the sentence: "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that <t>claim</t>."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim."
    *   The context involves lawyers and "pressing" a claim. This suggests a legal or formal assertion/demand.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**

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

4.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**

    *   The sentence structure ("lawyers are pressing that claim") implies a demand or assertion of a right/entitlement.

    *   *Test against Sense 1:* Assertion of a right (money/property). Plausible, but the sentence doesn't explicitly mention money or property.
    *   *Test against Sense 2:* Assertion that something is true. Possible, but "pressing a claim" usually implies seeking action/relief, not just stating a fact.
    *   *Test against Sense 3:* Demand for something as rightful or due. Very strong fit. Lawyers press claims when demanding something (relief, compensation, etc.) that is rightfully theirs.
    *   *Test against Sense 4:* Informal right. Unlikely given the context of "lawyers."
    *   *Test against Sense 5:* Established or recognized right. Possible, but Sense 3 (demand) is more active in the context of "pressing."
    *   *Test against Sense 6:* A demand especially in the phrase. Also a strong candidate, as "pressing a claim" is a common phrase.

5.  **Refine the Choice (Sense 3 vs. Sense 6):**

    *   Sense 3: definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day. (Focuses on the *demand* aspect.)
    *   Sense 6: definition=a demand especially in the phrase | examples=the call of duty. (Focuses on the *phrase* aspect.)

    *   The action "pressing" strongly aligns with the idea of a *demand* (Sense 3). While Sense 6 is also relevant, Sense 3 captures the core meaning of what the lawyers are doing—demanding something based on a right.

6.  **Final Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the most accurate fit for "pressing that claim" in a legal context.

    *   **3. definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action:** This strongly matches the idea of rules as instructions or guidelines for behavior/action (e.g., "new rules" for new media).
    *   **4. definition=(linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice:** Not relevant (not about language).
    *   **5. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct:** Too broad; rules are specific instructions, not just general generalizations.
    *   **6. definition=the duration of a monarch's or government's power:** Irrelevant (rule of a monarch).
    *   **7. definition=dominance or power through legal authority:** Irrelevant (dominion).
    *   **8. definition=directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess:** This is a specific type of rule set. While applicable, the context is about media/society, not a game.
    *   **9. definition=any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order | examples=the rule of St. Dominic:** Too specific (religious order).
    *   **10. definition=a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system:** Irrelevant (natural phenomenon/conservation of mass).
    *   **11. definition=(mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems:** Irrelevant (math).
    *   **12. definition=measuring stick...:** Irrelevant (measuring stick).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 ("prescribed guide for conduct or action") is the best fit for "new rules" required by new media.
