Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the <t>will</t> 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.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target word: "will"
    *   Context: "Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the <t>will</t> to get remove of a sanction."
    *   The context discusses sports, fraud, sanctions, and the actions/intentions of players (Alonso and Ramos).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (will%1:09:00):** Definition: "the capability of conscious choice and decision and intention." Synonyms: "volition." Example: "the exercise of their volition we construe as revolt."
        *   *Relevance:* This relates to the capacity or power to choose/intend. The phrase "not the will to get remove of a sanction" suggests a lack of the necessary intent or determination.

    *   **Sense 2 (will%1:09:01):** Definition: "a fixed and persistent intent or purpose." Examples: "where there's a will there's a way."
        *   *Relevance:* This relates to strong determination or purpose. "Not the will to get remove of a sanction" fits well with a lack of persistent intent or determination to achieve the goal (removing the sanction).

    *   **Sense 3 (will%1:10:00):** Definition: "a legal document declaring a person's wishes regarding the disposal of their property when they die." Synonyms: "testament."
        *   *Relevance:* This is a legal document (a last will and testament). This is completely irrelevant to the context of sports sanctions and player intent.

3.  **Compare relevant senses (1 and 2):**

    *   The phrase is "not the will to get remove of a sanction."
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *capability* of choice/intention (volition).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *fixed, persistent intent or purpose* (determination).

    *   In the context of sports misconduct and sanctions, the phrase usually implies a lack of determination or resolve to achieve a specific outcome (i.e., they didn't *intend* or *persistently aim* to avoid the sanction).
    *   "Will" in this idiomatic sense ("will to do something") strongly aligns with "determination" or "purpose." Sense 2 ("a fixed and persistent intent or purpose") captures this determination better than Sense 1 ("the capability of conscious choice").

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit.

5.  **Format the output:** Return the JSON object with the correct sense index. (Sense 2 corresponds to index 2).

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "expulsion" based on the provided context and candidate senses.

Context:
"Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The <t>expulsion</t> 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. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The context clearly relates to a sporting event (Champions League), players (Alonso, Ramos), referees, sanctions, and yellow cards. The word "expulsion" refers to a disciplinary action taken against players.

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=expulsion%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | synonyms=ejection, exclusion, riddance | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police; the child's expulsion from school
2. sense_key=expulsion%1:04:02:: | definition=squeezing out by applying pressure | synonyms=extrusion | examples=an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube; the expulsion of pus from the pimple
3. sense_key=expulsion%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting | synonyms=projection, ejection, forcing out

Analysis:
*   **Sense 2** (squeezing out/extrusion) is clearly irrelevant (medical/physical process).
*   **Sense 1** (forcing out someone or something; ejection, exclusion) fits the context of disciplinary action in sports (e.g., being removed from the game).
*   **Sense 3** (act of expelling or projecting or ejecting; projection, ejection, forcing out) is also very broad and includes "ejection."

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1 focuses heavily on social/disciplinary removal ("ejection of troublemakers," "child's expulsion from school").
Sense 3 is more general ("projection, ejection, forcing out").

In the context of sports, "expulsion" means being removed from the game (ejection). Both senses capture this. However, Sense 1 provides the most specific and relevant synonyms and examples related to removal of people (ejection, exclusion), which aligns perfectly with the disciplinary context of a football match.

Let's re-examine the definitions and synonyms:
Context: Players facing sanctions/removal from the game.
Sense 1: definition=the act of forcing out someone or something; synonyms=ejection, exclusion, riddance. (Perfect fit for sports removal).
Sense 3: definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting; synonyms=projection, ejection, forcing out. (Also fits, but Sense 1's focus on 'exclusion' and 'ejection' as social removal is stronger).

Since Sense 1 explicitly uses "ejection" and "exclusion" in examples related to people being removed (police, school), it is the most precise fit for the disciplinary context of a sports match.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best choice.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target and Context:**
    *   Target lemma: `player`
    *   Target surface form: `players`
    *   Context: "Sport and fraud law Tricks 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 <t>players</t> 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. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

2.  **Determine the Domain/Meaning:**
    *   The context is entirely about a football (soccer) match (Real Madrid vs. Ajax, European Champions League, referee, yellow card, unsportsmanlike behavior, expulsion).
    *   The word `players` refers to the individuals participating in this sporting event.

3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**

    *   **1. sense_key=player%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game | synonyms=participant**
        *   *Relevance:* High. This perfectly matches the context of professional football players.
    *   **2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession) | synonyms=musician, instrumentalist**
        *   *Relevance:* Low/None. The context is sports, not music.
    *   **3. sense_key=player%1:18:00:: | definition=a theatrical performer | synonyms=actor, histrion, thespian, role player**
        *   *Relevance:* Low/None. While actors are performers, the context specifies a football game.
    *   **4. sense_key=player%1:18:04:: | definition=a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously**
        *   *Relevance:* None. This is a highly specific, unrelated meaning.
    *   **5. sense_key=player%1:18:03:: | definition=an important participant (as in a business deal) | examples=he was a major player in setting up the corporation**
        *   *Relevance:* Low. While they are participants, the context specifies *who* they are (football players) and the nature of their participation (playing the game), not their role in a business deal.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the definitive match for the context (sports participation).

5.  **Final Check against Instructions:**
    *   Choose the single best indexed sense (Sense 1).
    *   Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.

The target word "game" appears twice:
1. "...in the <t>game</t> played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League..."
2. "...a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won)..."

The context clearly refers to a sporting event (European Champions League, Real Madrid vs Ajax, players, referee, yellow card, unsportsmanlike behavior).

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: | definition=a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game
    * This fits perfectly. A Champions League match is a contest with rules to determine a winner.

2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: | definition=a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours
    * While a match consists of many plays, the reference "the game played on the 23rd of November" refers to the entire event/match, not a single play.

3. sense_key=game%1:04:01:: | definition=an amusement or pastime | examples=they played word games; he thought of his painting as a game that filled his empty time
    * This is too general and doesn't capture the high-stakes, professional sporting context.

4. sense_key=game%1:05:00:: | definition=animal hunted for food or sport
    * Irrelevant.

5. sense_key=game%1:28:00:: | definition=(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves
    * Too specific (tennis) and refers to a division, not the whole match.

6. sense_key=game%1:23:00:: | definition=(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win | examples=the game is 6 all; he is serving for the game
    * This refers to the score or a specific unit of play, not the overall match event.

7. sense_key=game%1:13:00:: | definition=the flesh of wild animals that is used for food
    * Irrelevant.

8. sense_key=game%1:09:00:: | definition=a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal) | synonyms=plot, secret plan
    * While the context mentions "fraud law" and "unsportsmanlike," the word "game" itself refers to the match, not the scheme (though the actions within the match might be part of a scheme).

9. sense_key=game%1:06:00:: | definition=the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game | examples=the child received several games for his birthday
    * Irrelevant.

10. sense_key=game%1:04:02:: | definition=your occupation or line of work | synonyms=biz
    * Irrelevant.

11. sense_key=game%1:04:04:: | definition=frivolous or trifling behavior | examples=for actors, memorizing lines is no game; for him, life is all fun and games
    * This is an idiomatic usage, not the literal meaning of the match.

The best fit is sense 1: "a contest with rules to determine a winner." The context describes a professional football match (Champions League) where rules (sanctions, yellow cards) and outcomes (winner) are central.

I must return the JSON object with the sense index.

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

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

The word "behavior" is used in the phrase "if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike".

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=behavior%1:04:00:: | definition=manner of acting or controlling yourself | synonyms=behaviour, conduct, doings**
   * This relates to how someone acts. "Unsportsmanlike" directly relates to the manner of acting.

2. **sense_key=behavior%1:26:00:: | definition=the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances | synonyms=behaviour | examples=the behavior of small particles can be studied in experiments**
   * This is scientific/technical (e.g., particle behavior). The context is sports and player conduct. This is unlikely.

3. **sense_key=behavior%1:07:00:: | definition=(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people | synonyms=demeanor, demeanour, behaviour, conduct, deportment**
   * This focuses on how a person acts toward others, encompassing manner and conduct. "Unsportsmanlike" conduct falls perfectly under this definition.

4. **sense_key=behavior%1:04:01:: | definition=(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation | synonyms=behaviour**
   * This is a broad psychological definition. While the context involves actions (wasting time), the specific framing "unsportsmanlike" suggests a judgment of moral or social conduct rather than just a collection of physical responses.

Comparison:
The context discusses players' actions (wasting time, expulsion) and whether these actions constitute "unsportsmanlike" conduct, leading to potential sanctions by UEFA.

Sense 1 (manner of acting or controlling yourself) is very relevant.
Sense 3 (the way a person behaves toward other people / behavioral attributes) is also very relevant and perhaps slightly more specific to the social/moral judgment implied by "unsportsmanlike."
Sense 4 (aggregate of responses/reactions) is too broad and clinical for this specific context of ethical judgment in sports.

Between Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 3 includes synonyms like 'demeanor', 'conduct', and 'deportment', which strongly align with the concept of judging someone's character or manner in a social setting (like a sporting event).
Sense 1 is also good, focusing on 'manner of acting or controlling yourself'.

Since the context is about judging the *quality* of the actions (unsportsmanlike vs. not), Sense 3, which emphasizes "the way a person behaves toward other people" and includes 'conduct' and 'demeanor', captures the social and ethical dimension best.

I choose Sense 3.

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

As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The context clearly discusses a football (soccer) match (Real Madrid vs Ajax, European Champions League, referee, yellow card, unsportsmanlike behavior). The individuals mentioned (Alonso, Ramos) are known football players.

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=player%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game | synonyms=participant

5. sense_key=player%1:18:03:: | definition=an important participant (as in a business deal) | examples=he was a major player in setting up the corporation

Analysis:
The context refers to individuals involved in a sporting event (Champions League game, referee, yellow card).
Sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." This perfectly matches the context of football players.
Sense 2: Musical instrument player. Incorrect.
Sense 3: Theatrical performer. Incorrect.
Sense 4: Promiscuous person. Incorrect.
Sense 5: Business participant. Incorrect.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

6. sense_key=minute%1:07:00:: | definition=distance measured by the time taken to cover it | synonyms=hour | examples=we live an hour from the airport; its just 10 minutes away

Analysis:
The context uses "minutes" in the phrase "a few minutes before the end of the game". This clearly refers to a duration of time.

Let's evaluate the senses related to time:
1. sense_key=minute%1:28:00: Unit of time (60 seconds). This fits the meaning of a duration ("a few minutes").
2. sense_key=minute%1:28:01: Indefinitely short time. While "a few minutes" is a duration, this sense emphasizes brevity, which is less precise than a standard unit of time.
3. sense_key=minute%1:28:02: Particular point in time. This refers to a specific instant (e.g., "at the minute"), not a duration ("a few minutes").
6. sense_key=minute%1:07:00: Distance measured by time. This is related to speed/travel time, not the duration before an event in a game.

Sense 1 ("a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour") is the most accurate definition for "a few minutes" when referring to a measurable duration in a sporting context.

Let's check the provided options again.
Sense 1: Unit of time (60 seconds). Matches.
Sense 2: Indefinitely short time. Less precise than Sense 1.
Sense 3: Particular point in time. Incorrect (duration vs point).
Sense 4: Angular distance. Incorrect.
Sense 5: Short note. Incorrect.
Sense 6: Distance measured by time. Incorrect.

The best fit is Sense 1.

Wait, the instructions require me to return the JSON object using the index corresponding to the chosen sense.

Chosen sense: sense_key=minute%1:28:00

Analysis of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=end%1:15:00:: | definition=either extremity of something that has length | synonyms=terminal | examples=the end of the pier; she knotted the end of the thread (Physical extremity) -> Unlikely for "end of the game".

7. sense_key=end%1:15:02:: | definition=the surface at either extremity of a three-dimensional object | examples=one end of the box was marked `This side up' (Physical surface) -> Irrelevant.
8. sense_key=end%1:18:00:: | definition=(football) the person who plays at one end of the line of scrimmage | examples=the end managed to hold onto the pass (Person/Position) -> Irrelevant.
9. sense_key=end%1:15:01:: | definition=a boundary marking the extremities of something | examples=the end of town (Boundary) -> Irrelevant.
10. sense_key=end%1:15:03:: | definition=one of two places from which people are communicating to each other | examples=the phone rang at the other end; both ends wrote at the same time (Location/Communication) -> Irrelevant.
11. sense_key=end%1:04:00:: | definition=the part you are expected to play | examples=he held up his end (Obligation/Duty) -> Irrelevant.
12. sense_key=end%1:10:00:: | definition=the last section of a communication | synonyms=conclusion, close, closing, ending | examples=in conclusion I want to say... (Section/Conclusion) -> Relates to structure, not the temporal conclusion of an event like a game.

The context "end of the game" clearly refers to the moment the game concludes.

Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" matches this perfectly.

Therefore, sense_key=end%1:28:00 is the best fit.

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

Context: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the <t>game</t> (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

The target word is "game".

Let's analyze the context surrounding the target word:
1. The context discusses a match in the European Champions League between Real Madrid and Ajax.
2. The players (Alonso and Ramos) are involved in a sporting contest.
3. The context mentions "referee," "yellow card," "sanction," and "league."
4. The phrase is "before the end of the game (that their team had already won)."

This clearly refers to a sporting match or contest.

Now let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: | definition=a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game
    * This fits the context of a sporting contest (Champions League match).

2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: | definition=a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours
    * While the match is a contest, "game" here refers to the entire match/event, not just a single play (like a point in tennis or a half).

3. sense_key=game%1:04:01:: | definition=an amusement or pastime | examples=they played word games; he thought of his painting as a game that filled his empty time
    * This is too general and doesn't capture the specific high-stakes, professional sporting context.

4. sense_key=game%1:05:00:: | definition=animal hunted for food or sport
    * Irrelevant.

5. sense_key=game%1:28:00:: | definition=(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves
    * Too specific (tennis) and likely too narrow for a Champions League match.

6. sense_key=game%1:23:00:: | definition=(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win | examples=the game is 6 all; he is serving for the game
    * This refers to the score, not the event itself.

7. sense_key=game%1:13:00:: | definition=the flesh of wild animals that is used for food
    * Irrelevant.

8. sense_key=game%1:09:00:: | definition=a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal) | synonyms=plot, secret plan
    * Irrelevant (though the context mentions "fraud," the target word "game" itself refers to the match).

9. sense_key=game%1:06:00:: | definition=the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game | examples=the child received several games for his birthday
    * Irrelevant.

10. sense_key=game%1:04:02:: | definition=your occupation or line of work | synonyms=biz
    * Irrelevant.

11. sense_key=game%1:04:04:: | definition=frivolous or trifling behavior
    * Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1: "a contest with rules to determine a winner" (General definition of a match/contest).
Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" (More specific, usually referring to a unit within the contest).

Since the context refers to the entire event ("before the end of the game"), Sense 1, which defines the overall contest, is the most appropriate and encompassing definition for the match itself.

Therefore, sense_key=game%1:04:00 is the best fit.

This clearly refers to a group of players participating in a sport.

Sense 1: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" matches this context perfectly.
Sense 2: "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" (e.g., a team of oxen) is irrelevant to the context of a football match.

This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted <t>time</t> which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'time' in this context:** The players deliberately wasted time in a sporting event (a football match). This refers to the duration or period of the game that they intentionally used up.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. an instance or single occasion for some event (e.g., "this time he succeeded"). -> Refers to an event occurrence, not duration wasted. (Unlikely)
    *   2. a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something (e.g., "take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish"). -> This fits the idea of a measurable duration that can be "wasted" or used up. (Strong candidate)
    *   3. an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) (e.g., "he waited a long time; the time of year for planting"). -> This is a general period, but sense 2 is more specific to the concept of time as a resource/quantity that can be managed or wasted. (Plausible, but less precise than 2)
    *   4. a suitable moment (e.g., "it is time to go"). -> Refers to opportunity/timing, not duration. (Incorrect)
    *   5. the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past. -> Abstract philosophical concept of time. (Incorrect)
    *   6. a person's experience on a particular occasion. -> Refers to experience/enjoyment. (Incorrect)
    *   7. a reading of a point in time as given by a clock. -> Specific moment (e.g., 10 o'clock). (Incorrect)
    *   8. the fourth coordinate that is required... -> Physics/mathematics concept. (Incorrect)
    *   9. rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration. -> Musical/metrical concept. (Incorrect)
    *   10. the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned. -> Specific legal duration. (Incorrect)
4.  **Compare the best candidates (2 and 3):**
    *   Sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something." Wasting time implies using up a resource (time) that could have been used for the game's conclusion. This aligns perfectly with the concept of "wasting time" in a competitive setting.
    *   Sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)." While the wasted time is a period, sense 2 captures the *action* of wasting it (treating it as a resource) much better.
5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "deliberately wasted time" in a sporting context.

6.  **Final check:** The context is about players wasting minutes of game duration. Sense 2 defines time as a controllable resource/period. This is the best fit.

The context is entirely about a football (soccer) match (Real Madrid vs Ajax, European Champions League, yellow cards, sanctions, players). The word "referee" is used in the phrase "made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=referee%1:18:00:: | definition=(sports) the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play | synonyms=ref
2. sense_key=referee%1:18:01:: | definition=someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication | synonyms=reviewer, reader
3. sense_key=referee%1:18:02:: | definition=an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case

Evaluation:
Sense 1 relates to sports officials and ensuring fair play. This perfectly matches the context of a Champions League game where a yellow card is shown.
Sense 2 relates to academic/publishing review. This is irrelevant.
Sense 3 relates to legal/judicial appointments. This is irrelevant.

The best sense is Sense 1.

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

Context: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This <t>way</t>, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

The word "way" appears after the description of the players deliberately wasting time to get a second yellow card. The sentence structure is: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader..."

"This way" here means "in this manner" or "as a result of this action."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: | definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion | examples=her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking
    * This fits perfectly. "This way" means "in this manner" or "by this method."

2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: | definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency | examples=a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction
    * This is close, as the action (wasting time) is a means to an end (getting the card/sanction). However, sense 1 focuses more on the *manner* or *mode* of the situation unfolding, which is what "This way" implies here.

3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: | definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction | examples=he looked the other direction; didn't know the way home
    * Refers to physical paths/directions. Incorrect.

4. sense_key=way%1:26:00:: | definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is; I felt the same way
    * Refers to general state/condition. Less precise than sense 1.

5. sense_key=way%1:04:00:: | definition=a course of conduct | synonyms=path, way of life | examples=the path of virtue; we went our separate ways
    * Refers to a general life path or moral conduct. Incorrect in this specific context of a sequence of events.

6. sense_key=way%1:06:00:: | definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out
    * Physical road/path. Incorrect.

7. sense_key=way%1:04:02:: | definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way
    * Refers to travel. Incorrect.

8. sense_key=way%1:23:00:: | definition=space for movement | synonyms=room, elbow room | examples=room to pass; make way for
    * Physical space. Incorrect.

9. sense_key=way%1:07:02:: | definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow; he went a long ways
    * Distance. Incorrect.

10. sense_key=way%1:09:00:: | definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way
    * Refers to personal preference/autonomy. Incorrect.

11. sense_key=way%1:09:01:: | definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing
    * Category/type. Incorrect.

12. sense_key=way%1:21:00:: | definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways
    * Division/share. Incorrect.

The phrase "This way" clearly functions as an adverbial phrase meaning "in this manner" or "by this method," which aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens."

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

2. **Evaluating senses:**
    * Sense 2 (Chemistry) is irrelevant.
    * Sense 3 (Mathematics) is irrelevant.
    * Sense 1 (Any number of entities (members) considered as a unit) fits perfectly. In sports leagues, a "group" refers to a division or unit of teams that compete together in a specific phase of the competition.

Conclusion: The best sense is Sense 1.

2.  **Identify the target word:** "game".
3.  **Analyze the surrounding text/collocations:** "next game of league", "against Auxerre". This strongly suggests a scheduled match or contest within a sports league.
4.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. a contest with rules to determine a winner (General contest)
    *   2. a single play of a sport or other contest (A specific instance/match)
    *   3. an amusement or pastime (Leisure activity)
    *   4. animal hunted for food or sport (Meat/Hunting)

5.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   The context refers to a match in a "league" (European Champions League, league of its group).
    *   Sense 1 (general contest) is plausible, but Sense 2 is more specific to a single scheduled event.
    *   Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") fits perfectly with "the next game of league".
    *   Sense 3 (amusement) is too general and doesn't fit the professional sports context.
    *   Sense 4, 7 (hunting/meat) are irrelevant.
    *   Sense 5, 6 (tennis terms) are too specific and unlikely given the context (Real Madrid vs Ajax/Auxerre).
    *   Sense 8, 10, 11 (scheme, occupation, behavior) are irrelevant.
6.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 2 is the most precise definition for a scheduled match in a sports league.
7.  **Final check:** The sentence discusses sanctions related to a football match ("game of league"). Sense 2 defines a single instance of a contest/sport. This is the correct choice.

Sport and fraud law Tricks 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. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of <t>league</t>, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase. Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players.

Context: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of <t>league</t>, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=league%1:14:01:: | definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members | synonyms=conference
2. sense_key=league%1:14:00:: | definition=an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action
3. sense_key=league%1:23:00:: | definition=an obsolete unit of distance of variable length (usually 3 miles)

Analysis:
1. The context discusses a football (soccer) match (Real Madrid vs Ajax, against Auxerre).
2. The players are receiving sanctions (yellow cards, prescribed sanction).
3. The next game is part of a structured competition ("group," "following phase").
4. The word "league" refers to the competition or division the teams participate in.

Evaluating candidates:
1. sense_key=league%1:14:01: "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members." This perfectly matches the context of professional football competition (UEFA Champions League, group stage, next game).
2. sense_key=league%1:14:00: "an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action." This is too general and does not fit the specific sports context.
3. sense_key=league%1:23:00: "an obsolete unit of distance..." This is clearly incorrect.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target word: phase

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=phase%1:28:00:: | definition=any distinct time period in a sequence of events | synonyms=stage | examples=we are in a transitional stage in which many former ideas must be revised or rejected
2. sense_key=phase%1:26:00:: | definition=(physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system; matter that is identical in chemical composition and physical state and separated from other material by the phase boundary | synonyms=form | examples=the reaction occurs in the liquid phase of the system
3. sense_key=phase%1:28:01:: | definition=a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle | synonyms=phase angle
4. sense_key=phase%1:07:00:: | definition=(astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination (especially one of the recurring shapes of the part of Earth's moon that is illuminated by the sun) | examples=the full phase of the moon

Analysis:
The sentence fragment is: "...and will be able to get rid of the cards the following <t>phase</t>."
The context is about a football (soccer) game, sanctions, and the progression of events (the next game).
The word "following" suggests a subsequent period or stage.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=phase%1:28:00 (Time period/stage):** This fits well. "The following phase" means the next stage or period of time in the sequence of the league/competition.
2. **sense_key=phase%1:26:00 (State of matter):** Irrelevant to football or sanctions.
3. **sense_key=phase%1:28:01 (Point in a cycle/angle):** While time-related, this usually refers to cyclical processes (like waves or oscillations), not the general progression of a sports season/league.
4. **sense_key=phase%1:07:00 (Astronomy/Illumination):** Irrelevant to football.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1 ("any distinct time period in a sequence of events") is a general term for a stage or period, which perfectly matches the context of a sports league progression ("the following phase" = the next stage/game/period).
Sense 3 ("a particular point in the time of a cycle") is too specific (like a specific angle in a wave cycle) and less appropriate for describing the next event in a league schedule.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Wait, I need to check the provided sense keys and indices carefully.
Sense 1: phase%1:28:00
Sense 2: phase%1:26:00
Sense 3: phase%1:28:01
Sense 4: phase%1:07:00

The best sense is Sense 1. I must return the index corresponding to Sense 1.

Index mapping:
1. sense_key=phase%1:28:00 -> Index 1
2. sense_key=phase%1:26:00 -> Index 2
3. sense_key=phase%1:28:01 -> Index 3
4. sense_key=phase%1:07:00 -> Index 4

The best sense is Index 1.
