Target lemma: action
Target surface form: action
Context:
The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action. Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions. This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding <t>action</t> from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The target word is "action." The relevant sentence is: "...they are now unified and demanding <t>action</t> from emerging economies such as China and India."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The overall text discusses international climate negotiations, greenhouse gases, economic obligations, scientific imperatives, and the need for countries to curb emissions. The tone is political and urgent.
3.  **Determine the meaning of "action" in this context:** When demanding "action" in a political/environmental context, it means demanding concrete steps, measures, or policies to be implemented (i.e., doing something about the problem).
4.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   1. something done (general act): Plausible, but perhaps too broad.
    *   2. the state of being active: Refers to a state, not the required implementation of a policy.
    *   3. a military engagement: Irrelevant (climate talks).
    *   4. a process existing in or produced by nature: Irrelevant (human political demand).
    *   5. the series of events that form a plot: Irrelevant (literature).
    *   6. the trait of being active and energetic and forceful: Refers to a quality (e.g., "a man of action"), not the required policy implementation.
    *   7. the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism: Irrelevant (mechanics).
    *   8. a judicial proceeding: Irrelevant (legal context).
    *   9. an act by a government body or supranational organization: This fits perfectly. Demanding "action" from economies (China, India) means demanding specific governmental/policy measures.
    *   10. the most important or interesting work or activity: Refers to a focal point or area of interest, not the required implementation of a solution.

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 9 ("an act by a government body or supranational organization") best captures the meaning of demanding policy implementation or concrete steps in a high-level political/environmental negotiation setting.

6.  **Final check:** "Demanding action from emerging economies" = Demanding specific governmental/policy acts. This aligns with sense 9.

    *   Surrounding context: The entire passage discusses international climate negotiations, major powers (US, China, India), economic hegemony, greenhouse gases, and global political processes.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: a communist nation that covers a vast territory in eastern Asia; the most populous country in the world. (Refers to the PRC/mainland China).
    *   Sense 2: high quality porcelain originally made only in China. (Refers to the material/product).

3.  **Determine the appropriate sense based on context:**
    *   The context mentions "emerging economies such as China and India" in the context of "international climate negotiations" and "political pressure."
    *   This usage clearly refers to the country, its economic status, and its role in global politics, not porcelain or a specific political entity like Taiwan (though the PRC is the entity being discussed, Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of the country's political/economic identity in this global context).
    *   Sense 1 describes China as a "communist nation" and a major country, fitting perfectly with the discussion of "emerging economies" and "major powers" in climate talks.
    *   Sense 3 refers specifically to the government on Taiwan, which is a distinct political entity from the mainland China referenced in global economic/climate discussions alongside India.

4.  **Select the best fit:**
    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

5.  **Format the output:**
    *   The instruction requires returning only a JSON object with the sense index. (Sense 1 corresponds to index 1).

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "urgency" in the provided context.

Context: "The talks took on new <t>urgency</t> as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=urgency%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being urgent; an earnest and insistent necessity
2. sense_key=urgency%1:07:00:: | definition=pressing importance requiring speedy action | examples=the urgency of his need
3. sense_key=urgency%1:26:01:: | definition=an urgent situation calling for prompt action | examples=I'll be there, barring any urgencies; they departed hurriedly because of some great urgency in their affairs
4. sense_key=urgency%1:10:00:: | definition=insistent solicitation and entreaty | synonyms=importunity, urging | examples=his importunity left me no alternative but to agree

Analysis:
The phrase is "The talks took on new urgency".
"Talks" here refers to international climate negotiations.
The context explains *why* the urgency increased: "as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."
This indicates a need for quick action and resolution due to a deadline (arrival of heads of government).

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. "the state of being urgent; an earnest and insistent necessity." (General, but perhaps too broad.)
2. "pressing importance requiring speedy action." (Fits well. The talks gained importance and required speedy action.)
3. "an urgent situation calling for prompt action." (Also fits very well. The situation of the talks became urgent, demanding prompt action to resolve issues.)
4. "insistent solicitation and entreaty." (This refers to the act of urging/pleading, not the state of the talks themselves. This is clearly incorrect.)

Comparing 2 and 3:
Sense 2: "pressing importance requiring speedy action."
Sense 3: "an urgent situation calling for prompt action."

The context describes the *state* of the talks changing ("took on new urgency"). This state is defined by the need to resolve issues before a deadline. Both 2 and 3 capture this.

Sense 3, "an urgent situation calling for prompt action," seems slightly more precise when applied to an event or process (like "the talks"). The talks themselves become the "urgent situation."

Sense 2, "pressing importance requiring speedy action," is also very strong.

Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 3: "they departed hurriedly because of some great urgency in their affairs." This links urgency directly to the need for hurried action, which matches the context ("must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive").

Given the focus on the *need* to resolve issues quickly due to a time constraint, Sense 3 ("an urgent situation calling for prompt action") is the most accurate description of what "new urgency" means in this negotiation context.

Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best fit.

3.  **Determine the function of 'fact' in the sentence:** Here, 'fact' refers to a specific piece of information or a reality that the delegates are focused on—the necessity of resolving outstanding issues. It is a known condition or reality of the situation.

    *   **sense_key=fact%1:09:01:** | definition=a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred | examples=first you must collect all the facts of the case. (This is broad, covering both existing circumstances and past events.)

5.  **Compare the best fits (1, 2, and 3):**
    *   The phrase is "focused on the fact that they must resolve..." This 'fact' is a recognized reality or necessity of the negotiation process.
    *   Sense 3 ("an event known to have happened or something known to have existed") fits well because the necessity of resolving issues is a known, existing condition of the talks. The examples ("how much of the story is fact") also support the idea of established reality.
    *   Sense 1 ("a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred") is also very close, as the necessity is a circumstance.
    *   Sense 2 ("a statement or assertion of verified information") is slightly less precise, as the focus isn't on *asserting* the fact, but on acknowledging the *reality* of the fact.

6.  **Select the single best sense:** Sense 3 captures the idea of an established, known reality or condition ("they must resolve...") most accurately in this context of diplomatic necessity.

7.  **Final check:** "The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact [the established reality/necessity] that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues..." This aligns perfectly with sense_key=fact%1:26:01.

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=issue%1:09:01:: | definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | synonyms=... | examples=... (Fits well: "resolve most of the outstanding issues" implies important, disputed questions/matters needing settlement.)
2. sense_key=issue%1:10:00:: | definition=one of a series published periodically | synonyms=number | examples=... (Unlikely. The context is about negotiations, not magazines.)
3. sense_key=issue%1:09:00:: | definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter | examples=... (Plausible. "Outstanding issues" can mean outstanding topics/matters. This is very close to sense 1.)
4. sense_key=issue%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of providing an item for general use or for official purposes (usually in quantity) | synonyms=issuing, issuance | examples=... (Incorrect. The word here is a noun referring to problems/topics, not the act of providing.)

11. sense_key=issue%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of issuing printed materials | synonyms=publication | examples=... (Incorrect. Context is political negotiation.)

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled"
Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" (synonyms: topic, subject, matter)

In the phrase "resolve most of the outstanding issues," the meaning strongly leans towards specific, critical points of contention or unresolved problems that need a definitive solution (Sense 1). While Sense 3 (topic/subject) is related, Sense 1 captures the necessary implication of *dispute* and *settlement* inherent in high-stakes international negotiations ("strike a deal").

Therefore, Sense 1 is the most precise fit.

9. sense_key=deal%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of apportioning or distributing something | examples=the captain was entrusted with the deal of provisions

Analysis:
The phrase is "to strike a deal."
The context is high-level international climate negotiations ("delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive").
"Striking a deal" in a negotiation context means reaching an agreement.

Let's evaluate the candidates:
1. Buying/selling: Possible, but "agreement" is more precise for political talks.
2. An agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each: This perfectly matches the context of international negotiations ("resolve most of the outstanding issues") and the phrase "strike a deal." Synonyms include "bargain."
3. Large number or amount: Incorrect.
4. Plank of softwood: Incorrect.
5. Wood that is easy to saw: Incorrect.
6. Cards held in a card game: Incorrect.
7. Type of treatment received: Incorrect.
8. Act of distributing playing cards: Incorrect.
9. Act of apportioning or distributing something: Incorrect.

Sense 2 is the best fit.

This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India.

The target lemma is "official".
The context is about international climate change negotiations, involving ministers and vice ministers from countries like India and China.
The sentence is: "High-level <t>officials</t> such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."

2. sense_key=official%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who administers the rules of a game or sport | examples=the golfer asked for an official who could give him a ruling

Analysis:
The context describes high-level participants in international climate negotiations. The examples given are "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" and "the Chinese vice minister." These individuals hold governmental or ministerial positions.

Sense 1: "a worker who holds or is invested with an office" (synonyms: functionary). This aligns perfectly with ministers and vice ministers who hold official government positions.
Sense 2: "someone who administers the rules of a game or sport." This is irrelevant to the context of international climate negotiations and government officials.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct sense.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target word: "minister"
    *   Context sentence: "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."
    *   The context is about international climate negotiations, high-level officials, governments (Indian, Chinese), and political processes.

2.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `minister%1:18:00` | definition=a person authorized to conduct religious worship | synonyms=curate, minister of religion, parson, pastor, rector.
        *   *Relevance:* Low. The context is political/governmental, not religious.

    *   **Sense 2:** `minister%1:18:02` | definition=a person appointed to a high office in the government | synonyms=government minister.
        *   *Relevance:* High. "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" fits perfectly with a high government office holder.

    *   **Sense 3:** `minister%1:18:01` | definition=a diplomat representing one government to another; ranks below ambassador | synonyms=diplomatic minister.
        *   *Relevance:* Moderate/High. While the individuals are diplomats, the term "minister" in this context (especially paired with "environment minister") usually refers to a cabinet-level official (Sense 2), not just a diplomatic representative below an ambassador. However, "vice minister" (as used in the text) often refers to a junior government official, which aligns with both Sense 2 and Sense 3.

    *   **Sense 4:** `minister%1:04:00` | definition=the job of a head of a government department.
        *   *Relevance:* Low. The target word is used as a *person* ("Indian environment minister"), not the *job* itself.

3.  **Compare the best candidates (Sense 2 and Sense 3):**

    *   The phrase "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" strongly suggests a cabinet-level position responsible for a specific department (Environment). This is the core meaning of Sense 2: "a person appointed to a high office in the government."
    *   Sense 3 focuses specifically on diplomatic representation below an ambassador. While a minister *is* a representative, the specific title "environment minister" points more directly to the executive governmental role (Sense 2).
    *   The presence of "vice minister" further supports the governmental/departmental hierarchy (Sense 2), as vice ministers assist full ministers in government departments.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 provides the most accurate and encompassing definition for "minister" when used in the context of high-level government officials (like an "environment minister") attending international political talks.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

Analysis:
The context describes high-level officials arriving at a convention center ("Bella Center's halls"). The action is "stepped off planes and raced through...".
This strongly suggests transportation.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Aircraft: This fits perfectly. Officials travel by airplane/plane to attend international conferences. "Stepped off planes" is standard usage for disembarking from an aircraft.
2. Mathematical shape: Irrelevant.
3. Level of existence: Irrelevant.
4. Power tool: Irrelevant.
5. Hand tool: Irrelevant.

The best fit is Sense 1 (aircraft).

Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

The word "halls" refers to parts of the Bella Center (a convention center). These parts are used for movement ("raced through") and lead to specific functional areas ("closed-door meetings and news conferences").

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=hall%1:06:03::** | definition=an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open | synonyms=hallway | examples=the elevators were at the end of the hall.
    * *Fit:* Officials "raced through" these areas to reach meetings. Corridors/passages fit this description well.

2. **sense_key=hall%1:06:05::** | definition=a large entrance or reception room or area | synonyms=anteroom, antechamber, entrance hall, foyer, lobby, vestibule.
    * *Fit:* While they might pass through lobbies, the context suggests movement *to* various meetings, implying more than just the entrance area.

3. **sense_key=hall%1:06:02::** | definition=a large room for gatherings or entertainment | examples=lecture hall; pool hall.
    * *Fit:* They are going *to* meetings/conferences, which happen in rooms, but "halls" here seems to describe the pathways or general areas of the center, not necessarily the specific meeting rooms themselves, although they could be large rooms.

4. **sense_key=hall%1:06:04::** | definition=a college or university building containing living quarters for students | synonyms=dormitory, dorm, residence hall, student residence.
    * *Fit:* No, this is a convention center.

5. **sense_key=hall%1:06:06::** | definition=the large room of a manor or castle | synonyms=manor hall.
    * *Fit:* No, this is a modern convention center.

6-10. (Proper Nouns)
    * *Fit:* No, the context is about a physical location (Bella Center).

11. **sense_key=hall%1:06:07::** | definition=a large and imposing house | synonyms=mansion, mansion house, manse, residence.
    * *Fit:* No, this is a convention center.

12. **sense_key=hall%1:06:08::** | definition=a large building used by a college or university for teaching or research | examples=halls of learning.
    * *Fit:* No, this is a convention center.

13. **sense_key=hall%1:06:01::** | definition=a large building for meetings or entertainment.
    * *Fit:* The Bella Center *is* this building, but "halls" refers to parts *within* the center.

Revisiting 1, 2, and 3:
The officials "raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences."

If "halls" means large rooms (Sense 3), they would be racing *into* the rooms.
If "halls" means corridors/passages (Sense 1), they are racing *through* the pathways connecting the rooms.
If "halls" means lobbies/reception areas (Sense 2), they are passing through these areas.

Given the action "raced through," Sense 1 (interior passage or corridor) is the most precise description of the function of the space they are traversing to get from one point to another (the meetings). While Sense 2 (lobby) is possible, Sense 1 encompasses the entire network of pathways within a large complex like a convention center.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

    * The context specifies "closed-door meetings" involving ministers and vice ministers, which are highly formal, not small or informal social gatherings.

3. **sense_key=meeting%1:11:00::** | definition=a casual or unexpected convergence | synonyms=encounter | examples=he still remembers their meeting in Paris; there was a brief encounter in the hallway
    * The meetings here are planned and structured ("closed-door meetings"), not casual or unexpected encounters.

4. **sense_key=meeting%1:04:00::** | definition=the social act of assembling for some common purpose | synonyms=coming together | examples=his meeting with the salesmen was the high point of his day
    * This is a broader definition, but sense 1 is more specific to the formal, structured nature implied by "closed-door meetings" in a political/diplomatic setting.

5. **sense_key=meeting%1:04:02::** | definition=the act of joining together as one | synonyms=merging, coming together | examples=the merging of the two groups occurred quickly; there was no meeting of minds
    * This refers to unification or synthesis, not the physical or scheduled event of a meeting.

6. **sense_key=meeting%1:15:00::** | definition=a place where things merge or flow together (especially rivers) | synonyms=confluence | examples=Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers
    * This is a geographical sense and is irrelevant.

Conclusion: The context describes formal, structured diplomatic sessions ("closed-door meetings") at a major international conference. Sense 1, "a formally arranged gathering," is the most accurate fit.

Context:
This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out <t>claims</t> that will be arbitrated over the next week. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "claims" (surface form of "claim") in the provided context.

Context snippet: "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out <t>claims</t> that will be arbitrated over the next week."

Target word: claims (plural)
Contextual meaning: The officials are staking out these "claims" which will be arbitrated. This suggests they are asserting positions, demands, or rights regarding the issues being discussed in the climate negotiations.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=claim%1:10:00::** | definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages. (Focuses on specific, often legal, rights/damages.)
2. **sense_key=claim%1:10:02::** | definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims. (Focuses on factual assertions/arguments.)
3. **sense_key=claim%1:04:00::** | definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day. (Focuses on demands/entitlements.)
4. **sense_key=claim%1:07:02::** | definition=an informal right to something | synonyms=title | examples=his claim on her attentions; his title to fame. (Informal right.)
5. **sense_key=claim%1:07:01::** | definition=an established or recognized right | synonyms=title | examples=a strong legal claim to the property; he had no documents confirming his title to his father's estate. (Formal/established right.)
6. **sense_key=claim%1:10:01::** | definition=a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty. (A general demand/call.)

Evaluation:
The context is a high-stakes international climate negotiation. Officials are "staking out claims" that will be "arbitrated."
"Staking out claims" implies asserting their position or demands regarding the issues (e.g., what level of commitment, what specific policy changes, what financial support).

*   Sense 1 (Assertion of right, money/property): Possible, but perhaps too narrow for general policy demands in climate talks.
*   Sense 2 (Assertion that something is true/factual): Possible, but "arbitrated" suggests more than just stating a fact; it suggests a dispute over a position or entitlement.
*   Sense 3 (Demand for something as rightful or due): This fits very well. In negotiations, parties make demands (claims) for specific outcomes or rights (e.g., "We claim the right to sustainable development funding"). The term "arbitrated" strongly supports the idea that these are contested demands.
*   Sense 4 & 5 (Informal/Established right): These are too focused on personal or property rights, which is unlikely in this high-level policy context.
*   Sense 6 (General demand): This is broad, but Sense 3 is more specific and captures the nuance of asserting a *rightful* position in a negotiation setting.

Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 2: While they are making assertions (Sense 2), the phrase "stake out claims that will be arbitrated" strongly suggests they are asserting a *position* or *entitlement* (a demand for something rightful/due), rather than just stating a verifiable fact.

Sense 3, "demand for something as rightful or due," is the most appropriate fit for political/negotiation claims that are subject to arbitration.

Therefore, sense_key=claim%1:04:00 is the best choice.

Context snippet: "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next <t>week</t>."

3. sense_key=week%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week

Analysis:
The phrase is "over the next week." This refers to a duration of time during which claims will be arbitrated.

Sense 2 (workweek) is clearly incorrect, as the context is about international negotiations and arbitration, not employment schedules.

Sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days) is a general definition of a week.
Sense 3 (a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday) is a specific definition of a week based on a calendar structure.

In the context "over the next week," the speaker is referring to a general, upcoming period of time (seven days or less, depending on how the event is structured, but generally a standard week duration).

Sense 1 ("any period of seven consecutive days") is the most general and fitting definition for a duration mentioned in this manner, as it doesn't impose a specific starting day (like Sunday) which is often irrelevant in general temporal references like this.

Sense 3 is too specific (starting on Sunday) unless the context explicitly required adherence to a specific calendar week structure, which it does not.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

4. sense_key=gathering%1:06:00:: | definition=sewing consisting of small folds or puckers made by pulling tight a thread in a line of stitching | synonyms=gather

Analysis:
The context describes a large event taking place in a convention center: "where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows... and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand."
The word "gathering" refers to this large collection of people and activities.

1. sense_key=gathering%1:14:00: "a group of persons together in one place" (synonyms: assemblage). This fits perfectly. The convention center is hosting a group of people.
2. sense_key=gathering%1:04:00: "the social act of assembling" (synonyms: assembly, assemblage). This is close, but sense 1 refers to the resulting group/event, which is what "the sheer sprawl of the gathering" refers to.
3. sense_key=gathering%1:04:01: "the act of gathering something" (synonyms: gather). This refers to collection (e.g., gathering leaves), which is irrelevant here.
4. sense_key=gathering%1:06:00: "sewing consisting of small folds or puckers..." This is irrelevant (a technical term for sewing).

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1 ("a group of persons together in one place") describes the physical entity (the event/crowd).
Sense 2 ("the social act of assembling") describes the process.
The phrase "the sheer sprawl of the gathering" refers to the scope and size of the event itself, which is a group of people assembled in one place. Sense 1 is the most precise fit for the noun phrase describing the event.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best choice.

1. sense_key=people%1:14:00: "any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively." This fits perfectly. 13,000 individuals attending a conference.
2. sense_key=people%1:14:01: "the body of citizens of a state or country." This is too specific (citizenship) and doesn't fit the context of conference attendees.
3. sense_key=people%1:14:02: "members of a family line." This is clearly incorrect.
4. sense_key=people%1:14:03: "the common people generally." While 13,000 people are a large group, this sense usually implies the general populace or masses in a societal/political sense (e.g., "the common people suffered"). Here, they are defined by their presence at a specific event. Sense 1 is a more precise fit for a countable number of attendees.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each <t>day</t>, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge."
2.  **Identify the target word and its usage:** The target word is "day." It is used in the phrase "each day."
3.  **Determine the meaning in context:** "Each day" refers to a recurring unit of time, specifically a 24-hour period, indicating frequency.
4.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. `day%1:28:00`: "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" (synonyms: twenty-four hours, twenty-four hour period, 24-hour interval). Examples include "two days later they left; they put on two performances every day." This matches the concept of a recurring 24-hour period used for frequency.
    *   2. `day%1:28:03`: "some point or period in time." Too vague, but could apply.
    *   3. `day%1:28:01`: "a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance." (e.g., Mother's Day). Incorrect.
    *   4. `day%1:28:02`: "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside." (Daylight). Incorrect.
    *   5. `day%1:28:04`: "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)." (A period of activity). Incorrect.
    *   6. `day%1:28:05`: "an era of existence or influence." (A long period). Incorrect.
    *   7. `day%1:28:07`: "the period of time taken by a particular planet... to make a complete rotation." (Astronomical). Incorrect.
    *   8. `day%1:28:06`: "the time for one complete rotation of the earth relative to a particular star." (Sidereal day). Incorrect.
    *   9. `day%1:26:00`: "a period of opportunity." (Figurative). Incorrect.
    *   10. `day%1:18:00`: Proper noun (Author). Incorrect.
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 (`day%1:28:00`) perfectly captures the meaning of a standard 24-hour period used to denote frequency ("each day"). The example "they put on two performances every day" reinforces this usage.
6.  **Format the output:** Return the selected sense index in the required JSON format.
