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

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=policy%1:09:00:: | definition=a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group | examples=it was a policy of retribution; a politician keeps changing his policies
2. sense_key=policy%1:10:00:: | definition=a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government | examples=they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation
3. sense_key=policy%1:10:02:: | definition=written contract or certificate of insurance | synonyms=insurance policy, insurance | examples=you should have read the small print on your policy

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court <t>policy</t> governing coverage of future trials."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding words/phrases:** "court policy governing coverage of future trials."
3.  **Determine the meaning of 'policy' in this context:** It refers to rules, guidelines, or established practices that a court (a governing body) would adopt regarding how it handles or governs media coverage of trials.
4.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group." (General plan/strategy).
    *   Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government." (Often related to political/legislative debate).
    *   Sense 3: "written contract or certificate of insurance." (Insurance).
5.  **Match the meaning to the senses:**
    *   The context is about rules governing court behavior ("governing coverage of future trials").
    *   Sense 3 (insurance) is clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 (line of argument/government policy) is plausible but usually refers to high-level political debate, whereas here it is about internal judicial rules.
    *   Sense 1 ("a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group") fits best. A court's rules or guidelines for handling media coverage are a specific "plan of action adopted by a social group" (the court/judicial system).

6.  **Refine the choice (Sense 1 vs. Sense 2):** While Sense 2 uses the word "government," Sense 1 is broader ("social group") and perfectly encompasses the idea of institutional rules (like court rules). In the context of judicial procedure, "policy" means established practice or rule, which aligns strongly with Sense 1.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the target word "coverage" based on the provided context and candidate senses.

Context analysis:
The passage discusses a trial, the news media, candidates for governor and Senate, and how the case dominated the news. Phrases like "intense coverage of the trial," "case dominated the news," "news media continually fanned the flames of emotion," "daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," and "Twitter coverage" are used. The final sentence mentions "poor court policy governing <t>coverage</t> of future trials."

Candidate senses:
1. `coverage%1:21:00`: insurance coverage (definition: the total amount and type of insurance carried; synonyms: insurance coverage). This is clearly irrelevant to news, trials, and media.
2. `coverage%1:07:00`: extent to which something is covered (definition: the extent to which something is covered; examples: the dictionary's coverage of standard English is excellent). While "extent" is related, the context is specifically about *media reporting* of a trial, not the scope of a dictionary or a general abstract extent.
3. `coverage%1:10:00`: news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television (definition: the news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television; synonyms: reporting, reportage; examples: they accused the paper of biased coverage of race relations). This sense perfectly matches the context of media, trials, reporters, and news presentation.

Conclusion:
The context overwhelmingly points to the sense related to media reporting. Sense 3 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to <t>arguments</t> that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The passage discusses legal cases, verdicts, challenges, news media coverage, court policy, and appeals courts. The lawyers are making a claim/point about how courts react to certain ideas.
3.  **Analyze the target word's function:** "arguments" here refers to the *points* or *reasons* being put forward by the lawyers/claimants regarding the need for court adaptation.
4.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   **1. sense_key=argument%1:10:02:: (a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true)** Synonyms: statement. Example: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true." *Fit:* This fits well. The lawyers are presenting assertions/claims (arguments) that social changes require adaptation.
    *   **2. sense_key=argument%1:10:03:: (a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement)** Synonyms: controversy, contention. Example: "they were involved in a violent argument." *Fit:* Less likely. While the topic might be contentious, the word here refers to the *content* of the claim, not the act of fighting or disputing itself.
    *   **3. sense_key=argument%1:10:00:: (a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal)** Synonyms: argumentation, debate. Example: "the argument over foreign aid goes on and on." *Fit:* Plausible, as the claim itself is a proposition, but the context suggests the courts are attracted to the *substance* of the claim/reasoning, not necessarily the full debate structure.
    *   **4. sense_key=argument%1:10:01:: (a summary of the subject or plot of a literary work or play or movie)** Synonyms: literary argument. *Fit:* No. This is clearly a legal/social context.
    *   **5. sense_key=argument%1:10:04:: (computer science definition)** Synonyms: parameter. *Fit:* No.
    *   **6. sense_key=argument%1:09:00:: (mathematical/logical variable)** *Fit:* No.
    *   **7. sense_key=argument%1:09:01:: (a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood)** Synonyms: argumentation, logical argument. Example: "I can't follow your line of reasoning." *Fit:* Very strong. The lawyers are presenting a "line of reasoning" (arguments) that supports their claim.

5.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 3, 7):**
    *   Sense 1 (Assertion/Fact): Focuses on the individual claim ("that social and technological changes required adaptation").
    *   Sense 3 (Discussion/Debate): Focuses on the process of arguing.
    *   Sense 7 (Course of Reasoning): Focuses on the logical structure used to support the claim.

    The phrase "attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation" implies the courts are interested in the *substance* of the logical case being presented. Sense 7, "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood," captures the idea of a structured, persuasive case (a line of reasoning) better than Sense 1 (a single assertion) or Sense 3 (the entire debate). The lawyers are presenting a *case* or *line of reasoning*.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 7 is the most precise fit for the legal/academic context of presenting a persuasive case to a court.

4.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `change%1:11:00`: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" (alteration, modification). *Fits well with social/technological shifts.*

    *   Sense 2: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event." This is also accurate, but Sense 1 emphasizes the *process* of transition, which is often what "social/technological change" implies.
    *   Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification." This focuses on the *outcome*.

6.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1, defining change as a transition from one state or phase to another (alteration/modification), is the most comprehensive and accurate description for "social and technological changes."

7.  **Final check:** The lawyers argue that these large-scale transitions (social/technological changes) require adaptation by the courts. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

Candidate Senses:

Analysis:
The context discusses "social and technological changes" and what these changes "required adaptation by the courts."
The courts (a system/institution) need to change or adjust their practices/rules in response to new social and technological realities.

*   Sense 1 (recasting a written work): Irrelevant. The context is about legal/social systems, not literature.
*   Sense 3 (physiological adjustment): Irrelevant. The context is about institutional/societal change, not biology.
*   Sense 2 (the process of adapting to something): This fits perfectly. The courts need to adjust or change their methods/policies (adapt) in response to social and technological changes. The synonyms "adaption" and "adjustment" also align with the required change in judicial practice.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

Context snippet: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the <t>courts</t>. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim."

The target word is "courts".

Let's analyze the context:
1. The discussion is about legal matters (verdict, challenge, case, courthouse, lawyers, appeals courts).
2. The specific phrase is "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
3. The context clearly refers to judicial bodies or systems that administer justice.

Now let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=court%1:14:00::** | definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature. (Matches judicial body/assembly.)
2. **sense_key=court%1:06:02::** | definition=a room in which a lawcourt sits | synonyms=courtroom. (Refers to a physical room, not the institution itself.)
3. **sense_key=court%1:14:01::** | definition=the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state | synonyms=royal court. (Refers to monarchy/sovereign power.)
4. **sense_key=court%1:06:01::** | definition=a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played | synonyms=court. (Sports court.)
5. **sense_key=court%1:18:00::** | definition=Australian woman tennis player who won many major championships (born in 1947) | synonyms=Margaret Court. (Proper noun/person.)
6. **sense_key=court%1:14:02::** | definition=the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince | synonyms=royal court. (Royal entourage.)
7. **sense_key=court%1:06:03::** | definition=a hotel for motorists; provides direct access from rooms to parking area | synonyms=motor hotel, motor inn, motor lodge, tourist court. (Lodging.)
8. **sense_key=court%1:06:05::** | definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws | synonyms=lawcourt, court of law, court of justice. (Matches judicial body/tribunal.)
9. **sense_key=court%1:06:04::** | definition=the residence of a sovereign or nobleman | examples=the king will visit the duke's court. (Residence.)
10. **sense_key=court%1:06:00::** | definition=an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings | synonyms=courtyard. (Physical area.)
11. **sense_key=court%1:04:00::** | definition=respectful deference | synonyms=homage. (Action/attitude.)

The context refers to "appeals courts" and the need for "adaptation by the courts." This clearly points to the institutional function of the judiciary.

Both Sense 1 (assembly to conduct judicial business) and Sense 8 (tribunal that administers justice) are highly relevant.

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

Sense 8 is perhaps slightly more comprehensive in defining the function of a court of law/justice, which aligns perfectly with the discussion of legal policy and adaptation in the context. Sense 1 is also excellent.

Let's check the surrounding text for clues. The text mentions "appeals courts" earlier. Appeals courts are tribunals (Sense 8) that conduct judicial business (Sense 1).

Since the context is discussing the *policy* and *adaptation* required by these judicial bodies regarding social and technological changes, the definition of a formal body of justice (Sense 8) is the most precise fit.

I will choose Sense 8.

Target lemma: claim
Target surface form: claim
Context:
They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that <t>claim</t>. In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

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
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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that <t>claim</t>. In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

2.  **Analyze the target word's usage:** The word "claim" appears twice.
    *   "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim." (Here, "claim" refers to the argument or assertion they are putting forward.)
    *   "...they would claim that the new media required new rules." (Here, "claim" refers to the act of asserting this idea.)

3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `claim%1:10:00`: an assertion of a right (as to money or property). (Focuses on financial/property rights.)
    *   2. `claim%1:10:02`: an assertion that something is true or factual. (Focuses on stating a belief or fact.)
    *   3. `claim%1:04:00`: demand for something as rightful or due. (Focuses on demanding something specific, often a right or compensation.)
    *   4. `claim%1:07:02`: an informal right to something. (Focuses on informal entitlement.)
    *   5. `claim%1:07:01`: an established or recognized right. (Focuses on formal entitlement/title.)
    *   6. `claim%1:10:01`: a demand especially in the phrase. (Too specific/idiomatic, likely not the core meaning here.)

4.  **Match the usage to the senses:**
    *   The context is legal/academic (lawyers, Supreme Court, filing, rules, media coverage).
    *   The lawyers are "pressing that claim" and stating they "would claim that the new media required new rules."
    *   The assertion is about the *necessity of new rules* based on technological change, not necessarily a demand for money or property (though that is possible in a lawsuit, the immediate context is about the *argument* itself).
    *   Sense 2 ("an assertion that something is true or factual") fits the idea of asserting a premise ("the new media required new rules").
    *   Sense 3 ("demand for something as rightful or due") fits the idea of the lawyers *pressing* an argument that they believe is rightful or necessary.

5.  **Refine the choice between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   If the lawyers are pressing a *claim* (Sense 3), they are demanding that the court recognize their position as rightful/due.
    *   If the lawyers are pressing a *claim* (Sense 2), they are pressing an assertion of fact/truth.
    *   In legal discourse, when lawyers "press a claim," they are usually pressing a legal argument or a demand for a specific outcome or recognition (Sense 3). The assertion ("new media requires new rules") is the *content* of the claim, but the *claim* itself is the legal demand/argument being put forward.
    *   Example: "They pressed their claim for a shorter work day." (Sense 3).
    *   In the given text: "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim." The claim is the argument that new rules are needed. This argument functions as a demand or assertion of a necessary legal position. Sense 3 captures this sense of demanding recognition for a position as rightful/due better than Sense 2, which is more general ("something is true").

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3, "demand for something as rightful or due," is the most appropriate fit for a legal context where lawyers are "pressing" an argument.

Analysis:
The context mentions "Mr. Hayes's lawyers," "Supreme Court's 1966 decision," and the lawyers are "pressing that claim" regarding legal/media policy. The word "filing" refers to a document or submission made by the lawyers.

1. Sense 1: "the entering of a legal document into the public record." This perfectly matches the context of lawyers submitting documents to a court (Supreme Court decision reference).
2. Sense 2: "a fragment rubbed off by the use of a file." Irrelevant (physical object).
3. Sense 3: "the act of using a file (as in shaping or smoothing an object)." Irrelevant (physical action).
4. Sense 4: "preservation and methodical arrangement as of documents and papers etc." While related to documents, the context refers to a specific legal submission ("In their filing, they referred to..."), not the general act of organizing papers.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target phrase: Supreme Court
Context: "In their filing, they referred to the <t>Supreme Court</t>'s 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules. 'This case,' they wrote, 'represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st century.'"

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=supreme_court%1:14:00:: | definition=the highest federal court in the United States; has final appellate jurisdiction and has jurisdiction over all other courts in the nation | synonyms=Supreme Court of the United States, United States Supreme Court
2. sense_key=supreme_court%1:14:01:: | definition=the highest court in most states of the United States | synonyms=state supreme court, high court

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses a 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction due to trial coverage. The reference is made in a legal filing regarding the need for new rules concerning media coverage of trials. The phrase "Sheppard v. Maxwell" is a famous case involving media coverage and the Supreme Court.

The reference to a specific, high-profile 1966 decision regarding trial coverage strongly suggests the highest court in the US system, which is the federal Supreme Court (SCOTUS).

Comparing with candidates:
Sense 1: "the highest federal court in the United States; has final appellate jurisdiction..." This matches the description of the US Supreme Court, which handles landmark cases like Sheppard v. Maxwell.
Sense 2: "the highest court in most states of the United States" (State Supreme Court). While state courts handle trials, the reference to a major national legal principle (Sheppard v. Maxwell) and the general discussion of national legal policy usually points to the federal level unless specified otherwise.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit because the context refers to a major, nationally recognized legal precedent (Sheppard v. Maxwell) concerning media coverage, which is typically associated with the US Supreme Court.

The required output format is a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

5. sense_key=decision%1:07:00:: | definition=the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose | synonyms=decisiveness | examples=a man of unusual decisiveness (Refers to the *quality* of being decisive)

Analysis:
The context mentions "the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction."
When a court (like the Supreme Court) makes a ruling that overturns a conviction, that ruling is a formal judgment or determination reached after considering evidence and law.

*   Sense 1 (act of making up your mind): While a court makes a decision, the word here refers to the *product* of the court's deliberation, not the process itself.
*   Sense 2 (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration): This perfectly matches a judicial ruling or judgment (e.g., "the court's decision").
*   Sense 3 (boxing): Irrelevant.
*   Sense 4 (outcome of a game/contest): Irrelevant (unless the trial was framed as a contest, but "overturning a conviction" is a legal judgment).
*   Sense 5 (trait of resoluteness): Irrelevant (it's a noun referring to a specific event/ruling, not a personality trait).

Sense 2 is the best fit for a legal ruling by the Supreme Court.

Analysis:
The context mentions "the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage."
The phrase "overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction" strongly suggests a legal judgment or finding of guilt/innocence in a criminal case.
The reference to "Sheppard v. Maxwell" further confirms the legal context (a famous trial coverage case).

Sense 1 relates to a strong belief (epistemological/philosophical). This does not fit the legal context of a court decision being overturned.
Sense 2 relates to a final judgment of guilty in a criminal case (legal). This perfectly matches the phrase "overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction" in a legal discussion about trial coverage.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the correct sense.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target word: "coverage"
    *   Context sentence: "In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial <t>coverage</t> and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

        *   *Relevance check:* While "extent" is related, the context specifically mentions "trial coverage" in relation to media and public scrutiny (Sheppard v. Maxwell). This sense is too general (e.g., "the coverage of the topic").

        *   *Relevance check:* The context discusses the impact of media (new media, Supreme Court decision regarding a trial) on a legal proceeding. "Trial coverage" in this context refers to how the media reported the trial. This aligns perfectly with the definition and synonyms (reporting, reportage).

Context:
"The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim. In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new <t>rules</t>.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "rules" (lemma: rule) based on the provided context.

Context:
"...they would claim that the new media required new <t>rules</t>."

The context discusses the impact of new media (Twitter coverage, instant news) on court policy and trials. The lawyers are arguing that these changes necessitate new guidelines or regulations for how trials should be covered or conducted.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **rule%1:09:00**: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior (synonyms=regulation). This fits well with establishing new guidelines for behavior (court policy/media coverage).
2. **rule%1:09:01**: something regarded as a normative example (synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula). Less likely; they need prescriptive guidelines, not just examples.
3. **rule%1:10:00**: prescribed guide for conduct or action (synonyms=prescript). This is a very strong fit. "New rules" here means new prescribed guidelines for conduct (of media/courts).
4. **rule%1:10:01**: (linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice. Irrelevant.
5. **rule%1:09:03**: a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct (synonyms=principle). While related, "prescribed guide for conduct" (Sense 3) is more specific to legal/policy requirements than a general "principle."
6. **rule%1:28:00**: the duration of a monarch's or government's power. Irrelevant.
7. **rule%1:26:00**: dominance or power through legal authority. Irrelevant.
8. **rule%1:10:02**: directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted. Too specific (games/sports).
9. **rule%1:10:03**: any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order. Too specific (religious orders).
10. **rule%1:09:02**: a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system (synonyms=principle). Too scientific/systemic, not policy-related.
11. **rule%1:09:04**: (mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems. Irrelevant.
12. **rule%1:06:00**: measuring stick. Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 (principle/regulation) and Sense 3 (prescribed guide for conduct or action):
The context is about legal policy and media conduct. "New rules" here means new regulations or guidelines that dictate how things must be done.
Sense 3, "prescribed guide for conduct or action," captures this prescriptive, regulatory nature perfectly in a legal/policy context.
Sense 1, "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior," is also close, but Sense 3 emphasizes the *prescribed* nature, which is key when courts are establishing new policy.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

'This <t>case</t>,' they wrote, 'represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st century.'"

The target word is "case".

Analysis of the context:
The text discusses legal matters: "court policy," "trials," "lawyers," "filing," "Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction."
The phrase in question is: "'This case,' they wrote, 'represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st century.'"
"Sheppard v. Maxwell" is a famous legal case name. When a current event or situation is compared to a famous legal precedent (like *Sheppard v. Maxwell*), the current situation is referred to as a "case" in the legal sense.

Evaluation of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=case%1:11:00:: (an occurrence of something / instance, example) - Too general, though legally relevant, it misses the specific legal context.
2. sense_key=case%1:26:00:: (a special set of circumstances / event) - Too general.
3. sense_key=case%1:04:00:: (a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy / lawsuit, suit, cause, causa) - This perfectly matches the legal context (Supreme Court, conviction, trial coverage, comparison to a legal precedent).
4. sense_key=case%1:09:00:: (the actual state of things) - Incorrect.
5. sense_key=case%1:06:00:: (a portable container) - Incorrect.
6. sense_key=case%1:18:03:: (a person requiring professional services) - Incorrect.
7. sense_key=case%1:18:02:: (a person who is subjected to experimental or other observational procedures) - Incorrect.
8. sense_key=case%1:10:02:: (a problem requiring investigation) - Plausible, but sense 3 is more precise for a formal legal proceeding.
9. sense_key=case%1:10:01:: (a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument) - This refers to a legal argument/brief, not the entire proceeding/event being referenced.
10. sense_key=case%1:23:00:: (the quantity contained in a case) - Incorrect.
11. sense_key=case%1:10:00:: (grammatical case) - Incorrect.
12. sense_key=case%1:26:02:: (a specific state of mind that is temporary) - Incorrect.
13. sense_key=case%1:18:04:: (a person of a specified kind) - Incorrect.
14. sense_key=case%1:10:03:: (a specific size and style of type) - Incorrect.
15. sense_key=case%1:08:00:: (an enveloping structure or covering) - Incorrect.

19. sense_key=case%1:06:02:: (bed linen) - Incorrect.
20. sense_key=case%1:06:01:: (glass container) - Incorrect.

Conclusion: Sense 3, defining "case" as a legal proceeding or lawsuit, is the definitive fit.

Analysis:
The phrase is "the 21st century".
"21st" indicates an ordinal number, specifically the 21st period of 100 years.
Sense 1 defines "a period of 100 years". This matches the usage in "21st century".
Sense 2 defines "ten 10s" (which is 100, or a hundred). This is a numerical quantity, not a time period designation in this context.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct interpretation.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target Lemma: fraud
    *   Target Surface Form: fraud
    *   Context: "Sport and <t>fraud</t> law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction."

2.  **Analyze the Contextual Meaning:**
    *   The context links "fraud" with "law" ("Sport and fraud law").
    *   The subsequent sentence discusses "Tricks" and the "will to get remove of a sanction."
    *   This suggests that "fraud" here refers to a type of deceptive action or practice that violates rules (in this case, sports rules), which is subject to legal/regulatory sanction.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (fraud%1:04:00):** | definition=intentional deception resulting in injury to another person.
        *   *Fit:* This is the general legal definition of fraud. Deception leading to injury/loss. This fits the context of "fraud law" and "sanction."

    *   **Sense 2 (fraud%1:18:00):** | definition=a person who makes deceitful pretenses | synonyms=imposter, impostor, pretender, fake, faker, sham.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to a *person*. The context uses "fraud" as a concept/practice ("fraud law"), not a person. (Poor fit).

    *   **Sense 3 (fraud%1:04:01):** | definition=something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage | synonyms=fraudulence, dupery, hoax, humbug, put-on.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *act* or *thing* of deception/trickery. This aligns perfectly with "Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos" and the idea of gaining an advantage (which leads to sanctions). It is the concept of deceptive action, which is what "fraud law" regulates in a sporting context.

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 (The best candidates):**

    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *result* (injury to another person). While true in general law, the sporting context emphasizes the *act* of trickery/deception used to gain an advantage (e.g., manipulating a game).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *nature* of the act ("deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage"). This is a very precise fit for the context of sports violations ("Tricks... demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction"). The act of trickery *is* the fraud.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 captures the specific nuance of deceptive action/trickery used to gain an advantage, which is the core meaning when discussing sports violations and sanctions, making it a slightly better fit than the broader legal definition in Sense 1.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3.

7. sense_key=law%1:14:01:: | definition=the force of policemen and officers | synonyms=police, police force, constabulary | examples=...

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses "Sport and fraud" and "Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax." The phrase "get remove of a sanction" suggests a violation of rules or regulations within a sporting context (fraud/tricks). The word "law" here likely refers to the rules governing the sport or the general rules of conduct that prevent fraud.

Evaluating the senses:
1. **Collection of rules imposed by authority:** This fits well. Sporting rules are rules imposed by an authority (the governing body).
2. **Legal document:** Less likely, as the context is about general rules/conduct, not a specific written document.
3. **Natural law:** Too philosophical/abstract for a sporting context, unless the sport itself is framed in moral terms, which is unlikely here.
4. **Generalization in nature:** Irrelevant.
5. **Philosophy of law:** Irrelevant.
6. **Profession of law:** Irrelevant.
7. **Police force:** Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1 ("the collection of rules imposed by authority") is broader and fits the concept of governing rules in a system (like a sport or society).
Sense 2 ("legal document setting forth rules") is too specific (a document).

Since the context is about fraud and sanctions in sport, "law" refers to the established rules of conduct/play. Sense 1 captures this idea best: the collection of rules imposed by authority (the sporting body).

Let's re-examine the provided senses and the context. The context is about rules being broken ("fraud," "tricks") leading to potential sanctions.

Sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority." This is the best fit for the rules of a sport.

Wait, I need to check the provided sense indices carefully.
Sense 1: law%1:14:00 (Collection of rules imposed by authority)
Sense 2: law%1:10:00 (Legal document)
Sense 3: law%1:09:00 (Natural law)
...

The best fit is Sense 1.

Target lemma: trick

Context:
Sport and fraud law <t>Tricks</t> such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "Tricks" (plural of "trick") based on the provided context.

Context: "Sport and fraud law <t>Tricks</t> such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction.

The word "Tricks" refers to actions performed by the players (Alonso and Ramos) that are being scrutinized under "Sport and fraud law." These actions are described as demonstrating "wittiness" but not the intent to avoid sanctions. The context strongly suggests these are questionable or deceptive actions in a sporting context.

Candidate Senses:

Analysis:
The context involves "Sport and fraud law" and actions by players that are being judged as potentially "unsportsmanlike." This points towards deceptive or cunning actions.

*   Sense 1 (cunning or deceitful action or device): This fits perfectly with actions that might violate "fraud law" or be "unsportsmanlike" in sports.
*   Sense 2 (period of work or duty): Irrelevant.
*   Sense 3 (attempt to get you to do something foolish or imprudent): While related to deception, Sense 1 is broader and better captures the nature of a cunning action used in a competitive/fraud context.
*   Sense 4 (ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement): These are usually harmless pranks, not actions subject to "fraud law" or sanctions for unsportsmanlike conduct.
*   Sense 5 (illusory feat/magic trick): Irrelevant to sports misconduct.
*   Sense 6 (prostitute's customer): Irrelevant.
*   Sense 7 (card game sequence): Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1: "a cunning or deceitful action or device." (General deception/cunning)
Sense 3: "an attempt to get you to do something foolish or imprudent." (Specific type of manipulation/bait)

The context describes actions that demonstrate "wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction." This suggests the actions themselves are cunning or deceitful maneuvers (Sense 1), rather than just attempts to trick someone into making a mistake (Sense 3). Sense 1 is the most encompassing and accurate description of the type of behavior being discussed in the context of sports fraud and unsportsmanlike conduct.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
