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

Context: Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture." It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate <t>envoy</t> Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "emission" (marked with `<t>emissions</t>`) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:** The word is "emissions."
    *   "...cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions..."
    *   The context refers to cutting down the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth | synonyms=emanation
    *   Sense 2: definition=a substance that is emitted or released | synonyms=discharge
    *   Sense 3: definition=the release of electrons from parent atoms

    *   Sense 5: definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context is about "greenhouse-gas emissions." Emissions here refers to the gases being released (a substance/flow) into the environment.

    *   Sense 1 (act of emitting/causing to flow forth): Fits the general idea of the action being discussed (cutting emissions).
    *   Sense 2 (a substance that is emitted or released): Fits the noun form "emissions" referring to the gases themselves.
    *   Sense 3 (release of electrons): Incorrect (chemical/atomic process).
    *   Sense 4 (bodily processes): Incorrect (biological/medical).
    *   Sense 5 (flow of water): Incorrect (physical flow of water).

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** While "emissions" is a noun, in the context of climate change, it refers to the substances (greenhouse gases) being released. Sense 2 ("a substance that is emitted or released") is the most direct definition for the noun "emissions" in this environmental context. Sense 1 ("the act of emitting") is also plausible, but Sense 2 describes the *thing* being cut.

7.  **Final Check:** The context discusses cutting the amount of greenhouse gases released. This aligns perfectly with Sense 2: "a substance that is emitted or released."

U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary <t>ones</t> by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago.

Senses:
1. definition=the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number | synonyms=1, I, ace, single, unity | examples=he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it; they had lunch at one
2. definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one; this is the one I ordered

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "one" (marked with `<t></t>`) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Locate the Target Word:** The target word is `<t>ones</t>`.

3.  **Analyze the Context surrounding the target word:**
    "U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary <t>ones</t> by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "ones" in context:** The structure is "compared with voluntary [X] by major emerging economies." The context is about emissions cuts/language/requirements. The comparison is between "binding cuts" and "voluntary [ones]." This suggests "ones" refers to voluntary actions or cuts.

5.  **Analyze the Provided Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number | synonyms=1, I, ace, single, unity | examples=he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it; they had lunch at one
        *   *Focus:* Number, numeral, single unit (as in 'one' as a quantity).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one; this is the one I ordered
        *   *Focus:* Singular entity (person or thing).

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

    *   The context uses "voluntary ones" in a comparison of policy/action (cuts/requirements).
    *   If "ones" meant a number (Sense 1), the sentence would be awkward (e.g., "compared with voluntary 1 by major emerging economies").
    *   If "ones" meant a single person or thing (Sense 2), it could refer to "single voluntary actions" or "single entities/countries."

7.  **Re-evaluate the usage of "ones" in the specific phrase:**
    "...compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies..."
    In this context, "ones" is functioning as a pronoun referring back to the concept of "cuts" or "requirements" (the voluntary cuts). It is a generic singular noun referring to the policy/action itself.

    *   *Test against Sense 1 (Number):* Does "voluntary 1" make sense? No.
    *   *Test against Sense 2 (Single person or thing):* Does "voluntary ones" refer to a single thing? It refers to multiple voluntary actions/cuts, but the word "ones" itself is used in a way that denotes a singular concept (the type of action).

8.  **Final Check (Focusing on the provided definitions):**
    Sense 1 is strictly about numbers/numerals.
    Sense 2 is strictly about a single person or thing.

    While "ones" is used generically, in the context of policy comparison ("voluntary [cuts]"), it is referring to a singular *type* of action or requirement. Sense 2 is the closest fit for a generic singular noun used to refer to an item or concept.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "single, unity." Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "he is the best one; this is the one I ordered." The usage in the text is abstract ("voluntary ones"), not concrete ("this is the one"). However, Sense 2 is the only option that allows "ones" to function as a noun referring to an entity or concept, rather than a quantity.

    If the text had said "compared with voluntary *one*," Sense 1 would be strong. Since it says "ones" (plural), it leans toward Sense 2 (a single type/instance of thing).

    *   Sense 5: definition=(game) a player's turn to take some action permitted by the rules of the game (Focuses on a turn in a game).

5.  **Match Contextual Meaning to Senses:**
    *   The context: "The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line..." This refers to a strategic shift or change in policy/stance.
    *   Sense 1: "the act of deciding to do something." This aligns well with a political or strategic shift (deciding to take a harder line).
    *   Sense 2, 4, 3, 5: These relate primarily to physical movement, relocation, or game turns, which do not fit the political context.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate definition for "move" in the context of political action and strategy.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration <t>officials</t> did just two years ago. The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers.

Context: It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation.

        *   *Relevance:* This refers to a specific segment of a year (e.g., "school year"). Does not fit "two years ago."

3.  **Locate the Target Word/Phrase:** The target is `<t>text</t>`. The relevant sentence is: "Stern, who also complained that the <t>text</t> did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers."

4.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** Stern is complaining that *something* (the text) failed to do enough to verify the cuts. This suggests the text is the written material, the document, or the official statement/agreement being discussed.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the words of something written | synonyms=textual matter | examples=there were more than a thousand words of text; they handed out the printed text of the mayor's speech. (Focuses on the words/written material.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a passage from the Bible that is used as the subject of a sermon. (Irrelevant.)

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.). (Focuses on the main content/body of a document.)

6.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    The context is about international climate talks, language, and verification of cuts. The "text" Stern is referring to is likely the official document, agreement, or statement that outlines the terms of the talks or the proposed cuts.

    *   Sense 1 (words of something written) is plausible.
    *   Sense 4 (main body of a written work) is also plausible, especially if the "text" refers to the substance of the agreement.

    Let's re-read the context: "...the <t>text</t> did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers." This implies the content/document itself was insufficient for verification.

    Sense 1 focuses on the *words* (the content).
    Sense 4 focuses on the *main body* (the substance of the work).

    In academic or political contexts, when referring to a document or agreement that needs verification, "text" often refers to the written content or the document itself. Sense 1 is the most fundamental definition of "text" as written material.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 4 is good, Sense 1 ("the words of something written") is the most direct and general definition of "text" used in everyday discourse about documents or statements.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

    In this sentence, "observers" refers to people who can verify the cuts (i.e., people who watch, perceive, or check the situation).

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a person who becomes aware (of things or events) through the senses | synonyms=perceiver, percipient, beholder
    *   Sense 2: definition=an expert who observes and comments on something | synonyms=commentator

6.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   The context requires people who can *verify* (check/watch) the cuts. This aligns well with the idea of someone who *becomes aware* or *perceives* the events.
    *   Sense 1 (perceiver, beholder) focuses on awareness/perception.
    *   Sense 2 (expert, commentator) focuses on analysis/commenting.

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

Context: The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago. The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers. Stern made his <t>comments</t> an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming. With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake, fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies.

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:**
    *   Stern made his *comments* (in response to He Yafei's criticism).
    *   The context involves political negotiations, statements, and reactions between diplomats/officials.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a statement that expresses a personal opinion or belief or adds information | synonyms=remark, input | examples=from time to time she contributed a personal comment on his account
        *   *Fit Check:* Stern's comments are likely statements expressing his opinion or position regarding the situation. This seems plausible.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a written explanation or criticism or illustration that is added to a book or other textual material | synonyms=commentary | examples=he wrote an extended comment on the proposal
        *   *Fit Check:* The usage here is about verbal statements made during talks, not necessarily a written explanation added to a text. Less likely.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a report (often malicious) about the behavior of other people | synonyms=gossip, scuttlebutt | examples=the divorce caused much gossip
        *   *Fit Check:* Stern's comments are not a malicious report or gossip. Incorrect.

3.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** `<t>United States</t> would not help China financially to cope with global warming.`

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=North American republic containing 50 states - 48 conterminous states in North America plus Alaska in northwest North America and the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean; achieved independence in 1776 | synonyms=United States of America, America, the States, US, USA
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States | synonyms=United States government, U.S. government, U.S.

5.  **Determine the Applicable Sense:**
    The phrase in question is: "the United States would not help China financially..."
    This refers to the *nation* or the *government/policy* of the country.

    *   If Sense 1 were used, it would imply the physical geography or the political entity (the republic/nation).
    *   If Sense 2 were used, it would imply the governmental structure or the political entity (the government/branches).

    In the context of international climate negotiations and financial aid ("would not help China financially"), the reference is to the country's policy or action, which aligns strongly with the concept of the nation/republic (Sense 1), although Sense 2 (the government) is also implied.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* When referring to a country's stance on global issues (like climate change funding), the reference is usually to the entity itself (the nation/state). Sense 1 defines the country geographically and politically (North American republic). Sense 2 defines the structure of its government. Both are relevant, but the context is about the *country's decision/policy*.

    Let's re-read the options and context. The context is about the U.S. taking a "harder line" and refusing financial aid. This is a statement about the nation's policy.

    *   Sense 1: North American republic...
    *   Sense 2: the executive and legislative and judicial branches...

    Since the sentence is about the *country* refusing aid, Sense 1 (the entity/nation) is the most direct fit for the subject of the action.

6.  **Final Check:** The context discusses the U.S. (the nation) taking a stance. Sense 1 defines the U.S. as a republic/nation.
