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

Context: While this theory is exceedingly simple, it appears to explain several things. First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan <t>revolution</t> and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat.

Senses:
1. definition=a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving | examples=the industrial revolution was also a cultural revolution
2. definition=the overthrow of a government by those who are governed
3. definition=a single complete turn (axial or orbital) | synonyms=rotation, gyration | examples=the plane made three rotations before it crashed; the revolution of the earth about the sun takes one year

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan <t>revolution</t> and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** The context uses "Reagan revolution" and "spreading the Reagan revolution."

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving | examples=the industrial revolution was also a cultural revolution
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the overthrow of a government by those who are governed
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a single complete turn (axial or orbital) | synonyms=rotation, gyration | examples=the plane made three rotations before it crashed; the revolution of the earth about the sun takes one year

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context discusses a political/social shift (Reagan era, emphasis on partisan role in national policy making).
    *   *Check Sense 1:* "a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving." This fits the idea of a political/cultural shift (like the Industrial Revolution being a cultural revolution).
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "the overthrow of a government by those who are governed." This is a violent political change, which doesn't seem to be the primary meaning here (it's about a policy/political shift, not a coup).
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "a single complete turn (axial or orbital)." This is a physical/mechanical movement, which is irrelevant to the political context.

6.  **Conclusion:** The context uses "revolution" in the sense of a major change in thinking and behavior. This corresponds to Sense 1.

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

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

Context: First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- <t>spreading</t> the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat. Fourth, the theory indicates why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable candidates for congressional office.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The target word is `<t>spreading</t>`.
    The relevant sentence is: "Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:**
    The phrase is "spreading the Reagan revolution." This implies the freshmen were actively disseminating, promoting, or making the revolution known/widespread.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=distribute or disperse widely | synonyms=distribute | examples=The invaders spread their language all over the country** (Focuses on wide distribution/dispersion.)
    *   **2. definition=become distributed or widespread | synonyms=propagate | examples=the infection spread; Optimism spread among the population** (Focuses on becoming widespread/propagating.)
    *   **3. definition=spread across or over | synonyms=overspread | examples=A big oil spot spread across the water** (Focuses on covering an area.)
    *   **4. definition=spread out or open from a closed or folded state | synonyms=unfold, spread out, open | examples=open the map; spread your arms** (Focuses on unfolding/opening.)
    *   **5. definition=cause to become widely known | synonyms=circulate, circularize, circularise, distribute, disseminate, propagate | examples=spread information; circulate a rumor** (Focuses on making something known.)
    *   **6. definition=become widely known and passed on | synonyms=go around, circulate | examples=the rumor spread; the story went around in the office** (Focuses on passing on/going around.)
    *   **7. definition=strew or distribute over an area | synonyms=scatter, spread out | examples=He spread fertilizer over the lawn; scatter cards across the table** (Focuses on scattering over an area.)
    *   **8. definition=move outward | synonyms=diffuse, spread out, fan out | examples=The soldiers fanned out** (Focuses on moving outward.)
    *   **9. definition=cover by spreading something over | examples=spread the bread with cheese** (Focuses on covering a surface.)
    *   **10. definition=distribute over a surface in a layer | examples=spread cheese on a piece of bread** (Focuses on layering/distributing over a surface.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context "spreading the Reagan revolution" suggests the idea of propagating or making something widely known/influential.

    *   Sense 1 (distribute/disperse widely) fits.
    *   Sense 2 (become distributed or widespread/propagate) fits very well.
    *   Sense 5 (cause to become widely known/disseminate) fits very well.
    *   Sense 6 (become widely known and passed on) fits well.

    Let's re-examine the examples provided for the senses to see which is the *best* fit for "spreading the Reagan revolution."

    *   Sense 2 example: "the infection spread; Optimism spread among the population" (This implies becoming widespread.)
    *   Sense 5 example: "spread information; circulate a rumor" (This implies making it known.)
    *   Sense 6 example: "the rumor spread; the story went around in the office" (This implies passing it on.)

    In the context of a political movement ("Reagan revolution"), "spreading" usually means propagating the idea or making it widespread. Sense 2 (propagate/become widespread) and Sense 5 (disseminate/make known) are the strongest candidates.

    If we look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "propagate." This is a very strong fit for spreading an idea or movement.

    If we look at Sense 5: "disseminate." This is also a strong fit.

    Let's check the provided examples again.
    Sense 2: "the infection spread; Optimism spread among the population" (Focus on becoming widespread.)
    Sense 5: "spread information; circulate a rumor" (Focus on making it known.)

    Since the context is about emphasizing a partisan role in *national policy making*, the action is about making the revolution known and influential. Sense 5 (cause to become widely known) or Sense 2 (become distributed or widespread) are both plausible.

    However, Sense 2 uses the synonym "propagate," which is often used for ideas or movements. Sense 5 uses "disseminate," which is also very appropriate.

    Let's assume the standard usage where "spreading a revolution" means propagating it widely. Sense 2 is a very strong match.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In many contexts, "spreading" an idea means making it known (Sense 5) or making it widespread (Sense 2). Since the context is about emphasizing a *role* in policy, the emphasis is on the idea gaining traction. Sense 2 captures the idea of the concept becoming widespread/propagating.

    Let's select Sense 2.

    The sentence containing the target word is: "Fourth, the theory <t>indicates</t> why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable candidates for congressional office."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "indicates" in Context:**
    The structure is: [Theory] indicates [reason/explanation]. The theory *shows* or *points out* the reason.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=be a signal for or a symptom of | synonyms=bespeak, betoken, point, signal | examples=These symptoms indicate a serious illness; Her behavior points to a severe neurosis. (Focuses on being a sign/symptom.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=indicate a place, direction, person, or thing; either spatially or figuratively | synonyms=point, designate, show | examples=I showed the customer the glove section; He pointed to the empty parking space. (Focuses on pointing out or showing something specific.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context says the theory *explains* or *shows* why the party has difficulty attracting candidates. It is presenting a reason or a conclusion derived from the theory.

    *   Does it give evidence (Sense 4)? Possible, but the primary function here is explaining a phenomenon.
    *   Does it suggest necessity (Sense 5)? No, it's not about medical intervention.
    *   Does it state briefly (Sense 3)? No, it's a complex explanation.
    *   Does it be a signal/symptom (Sense 1)? No.
    *   Does it indicate a place/direction (Sense 2)? No.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 and Sense 4 in the context of academic/theoretical writing.

    *   Sense 1: "These symptoms indicate a serious illness." (The theory is a symptom/signal of the problem.)
    *   Sense 4: "The results indicate the need for more work." (The theory provides evidence/support for the conclusion.)

    In the sentence: "the theory indicates why [X] happens." The theory is providing the explanation or the reason (the evidence/signal) for the difficulty. Sense 4 ("give evidence of") fits well when a theory is used to support a conclusion.

    Let's check the provided example for Sense 4: "The results indicate the need for more work." This is a strong match for using "indicate" to show what the data/theory points toward.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the most appropriate fit, meaning the theory provides evidence or support for the conclusion about candidate attraction.

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes | synonyms=pull, pull in, draw, draw in | examples=Her good looks attract the stares of many men; The ad pulled in many potential customers
        *   *Check against context:* "attract" means "pull in" or "draw in." This fits the idea of drawing candidates toward the party.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=be attractive to | synonyms=appeal | examples=The idea of a vacation appeals to me; The beautiful garden attracted many people
        *   *Check against context:* While candidates might be *appealed* to, the structure "difficult time attracting viable candidates" suggests an active force drawing them in, rather than just being inherently appealing.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=exert a force on (a body) causing it to approach or prevent it from moving away | examples=the gravitational pull of a planet attracts other bodies
        *   *Check against context:* This is a physical force (like gravity). While "attract" can mean this, in the context of political candidates, it is used metaphorically to mean drawing/luring, not a physical force.

5.  **Compare and Select the Best Fit:**
    The context requires a sense meaning "to pull in" or "to draw in" (Sense 1).

6.  **Final Answer Formulation:** The correct sense is 1.

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

Context: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat. Fourth, the theory indicates why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable <t>candidates</t> for congressional office. Potential candidates may be discouraged from running less by the congressional salary than by the prospect of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent.

Senses:
1. definition=a politician who is running for public office | synonyms=campaigner, nominee
2. definition=someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.) | synonyms=prospect

Potential candidates may be discouraged from running less by the congressional salary than by the prospect of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The word is "candidates." The context discusses the Republican Party's difficulty in attracting people to run for office, focusing on "Potential candidates" and the "prospect of defeat."

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a politician who is running for public office | synonyms=campaigner, nominee
    *   Sense 2: definition=someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.) | synonyms=prospect

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   The context refers to people who are *considered* or *potential* for the office, and who are *running* (implied by "running less").
    *   Sense 1 (politician running for office) fits the general idea of a candidate, but the specific focus here is on the *status* of being considered/prospecting.
    *   Sense 2 (someone who is considered for something) fits the phrase "Potential candidates" and the idea that they are being evaluated or considered for the office.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "attracting viable candidates" and "Potential candidates" aligns best with the definition of someone who is considered for an office (Sense 2).

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number of the correct sense. (Sense 2)

Senses:
1. definition=existing in possibility | synonyms=possible | examples=a potential problem; possible uses of nuclear power
2. definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | synonyms=likely | examples=potential clients

To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "Potential" in the Context:**
    *   "Potential candidates may be discouraged..."
    *   "...To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize..."
    *   The context discusses candidates who *could* run (or are considered) and the consequences of that possibility (defeat, discouragement).

4.  **Examine the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=existing in possibility | synonyms=possible | examples=a potential problem; possible uses of nuclear power
    *   Sense 2: definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | synonyms=likely | examples=potential clients

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context refers to candidates who *might* run or *could* be candidates, and the discouragement they face based on the *prospect* of defeat.
    *   Sense 1 (existing in possibility/possible) fits the idea of candidates who are in a state of possibility.
    *   Sense 2 (expected to become or be/in prospect) fits the idea of candidates who are expected to become candidates or are in the prospect of facing defeat.

6.  **Re-evaluate the specific phrase:** "Potential candidates may be discouraged..." and "potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize..."

    *   If we use Sense 1: "Potential" means "possible." (Fits)
    *   If we use Sense 2: "Potential" means "expected to become." (Also fits, as they are expected to become candidates, but the focus is on the *state* of possibility/prospect.)

7.  **Determine the Best Fit (Standard Interpretation):** In political/career contexts, "potential candidate" usually refers to someone who has the capacity or possibility to run. The subsequent discussion focuses on the *prospect* (the likelihood/expectation) of defeat.

    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: a potential problem (a problem that *could* exist).
        *   Sense 2: potential clients (clients who are *expected* to become clients).

    *   The context uses "potential candidates" as a noun phrase describing a group. The core meaning is that these individuals exist in a state of possibility.

8.  **Final Check:** The context is about the *possibility* of candidates running and the *prospect* of defeat. Both senses are relevant, but Sense 1 (existing in possibility) is the most fundamental definition of the noun "potential" when referring to a person or thing.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 2 (expected to become) is also true, Sense 1 (existing in possibility) captures the initial state of being a "potential candidate" before they become actual candidates.

9.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the primary meaning used here.

    *   Word: <t>discouraged</t>
    *   Sentence: "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running less by the congressional salary than by the prospect of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Meaning:**
    *   The candidates are being prevented/stopped from doing something (running less).
    *   The reason for this prevention is the "prospect of defeat."
    *   The overall meaning is that the prospect of defeat causes them to lose hope or courage to run.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=try to prevent; show opposition to | synonyms=deter | examples=We should discourage this practice among our youth
        *   *Check against context:* "discourage" fits "try to prevent" or "deter."

5.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    *   The context describes candidates losing hope/courage due to the prospect of defeat.
    *   This matches Sense 2: definition=deprive of courage or hope; take away hope from; cause to feel discouraged.
