Target lemma: competition
Target surface form: competitions
Context:
Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games. On the side of Costa Rica only one of 22 called players reached 50 games. A minor contrast to Costa Rica, comparing the 22 players called by both countries for the friendly game today, at 3:05 pm at the National Stadium in San Jose. While the Europe and world champions, number one one in the monthly top of FIFA, have a long record of Class A inter selection, the Tricolor has only the defender Michael Umana as the only one who has 50 international games. That number was reached Friday before the game against Panama (0-2), in Rommel Fernandez. Spanish football players playing in the All-Star League and in powerful clubs of the Premier League of England are during the year very active in league and local cup <t>competitions</t> and there are high-level shocks in the European Cups and European Champions League. To this is added the Spanish Fury experience in complicated qualifications for Euro Cup and World Cup.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=competition%1:24:01:: | definition=a business relation in which two parties compete to gain customers | examples=business competition can be fiendish at times
2. sense_key=competition%1:11:00:: | definition=an occasion on which a winner is selected from among two or more contestants | synonyms=contest

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

Context: "Spanish football players playing in the All-Star League and in powerful clubs of the Premier League of England are during the year very active in league and local cup <t>competitions</t> and there are high-level shocks in the European Cups and European Champions League."

Target word: competitions

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses Spanish football players, the Premier League, All-Star League, league and local cup events, European Cups, and European Champions League. These are all organized sporting events or tournaments.

Analysis of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=competition%1:24:01:: | definition=a business relation in which two parties compete to gain customers | (Business/commercial context) -> Not relevant (sports).
2. sense_key=competition%1:11:00:: | definition=an occasion on which a winner is selected from among two or more contestants | (Specific event/contest) -> Plausible, as leagues and cups are occasions where winners are selected.
3. sense_key=competition%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of competing as for profit or a prize | (The act/activity of competing) -> Plausible, but often refers to the *event* itself when used in the plural context of leagues/cups. Synonyms include contention, rivalry.
4. sense_key=competition%1:18:00:: | definition=the contestant you hope to defeat | (The rival/opponent) -> Incorrect. "Competitions" refers to the events, not the people.

Comparing 2 and 3:
Sense 2 defines a competition as an "occasion on which a winner is selected."
Sense 3 defines competition as "the act of competing as for profit or a prize."

When referring to "league and local cup competitions," the word refers to the organized tournaments or series of games (the occasions/events).

Sense 2 ("an occasion on which a winner is selected") fits perfectly with "league and local cup competitions."
Sense 3 ("the act of competing") is closer to the gerund form or the abstract concept of rivalry, though it can sometimes encompass the event.

However, let's look closely at the usage: "active in league and local cup competitions." These are specific, structured events (tournaments).

Sense 2: "an occasion on which a winner is selected from among two or more contestants." This is the most precise definition for a league or cup tournament.

Sense 3: "the act of competing as for profit or a prize." While the tournament involves the act of competing, the term "competition" in this context (league/cup) functions as a noun referring to the structured event itself.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

Wait, I must check the provided index numbers carefully.
Sense 1: 24:01
Sense 2: 11:00
Sense 3: 04:00
Sense 4: 18:00

The best sense is Sense 2. I need to return the JSON structure using the index number (which corresponds to the order in the list, 1, 2, 3, 4).

Sense 2 is the second candidate listed.

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

Candidate Senses:

2. sense_key=experience%1:09:00:: | definition=the content of direct observation or participation in an event | examples=he had a religious experience; he recalled the experience vividly
3. sense_key=experience%1:11:00:: | definition=an event as apprehended | examples=a surprising experience; that painful experience certainly got our attention

Analysis:
The phrase is "the Spanish Fury experience in complicated qualifications for Euro Cup and World Cup."
"Spanish Fury" refers to the Spanish national football team.
"Qualifications for Euro Cup and World Cup" are complex, high-stakes events (tournaments).
The word "experience" here refers to the team's history, involvement, or track record in these difficult qualifying processes.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **Accumulation of knowledge or skill (e.g., a man of experience):** This fits well. The team's "experience" in qualifications refers to the accumulated knowledge, skill, and history gained from participating in those complex processes.
2. **Content of direct observation or participation (e.g., religious experience):** While participation is involved, this sense usually refers to a specific, often subjective, event or feeling. Here, it seems to refer to the overall history/track record, not a single event's content.
3. **An event as apprehended (e.g., a surprising experience):** This refers to the event itself (the qualification process) as a singular occurrence or perception. While the qualifications are events, the context suggests a broader measure of capability or history ("the Spanish Fury experience in...").

Conclusion: Sense 1, referring to the accumulated history, skill, and knowledge gained from participation in complex qualifications, is the best fit.

3. sense_key=experience%1:11:00:: | definition=an event as apprehended | examples=a surprising experience; that painful experience certainly got our attention

Analysis:
The phrase is "limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF".
CONCACAF is a regional football confederation, and the context is about international football players (Ticos players).
"International experience" here refers to the amount of time or number of games/matches the players have participated in at that level. This relates to accumulated knowledge, skill, or participation history.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **Accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities.** This perfectly matches the idea of having "limited international experience" in a competitive area like CONCACAF. It refers to the history of participation.
2. **The content of direct observation or participation in an event.** While participation is involved, this sense often leans towards a specific, singular event or observation (e.g., a scientific experiment or a religious vision). It doesn't fit the general concept of "limited international experience" across a whole region/level.
3. **An event as apprehended.** This refers to a specific happening (e.g., "a surprising experience"). This is too narrow and doesn't fit the context of accumulated international play.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit. It refers to the accumulated history and skill gained from participating in international matches at a certain level.

Analysis:
The phrase is "limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF".
CONCACAF is a continental confederation in football (soccer), which defines a geographical and competitive region.
The context relates to international sports experience and levels (FIFA, CONCACAF).

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Geographical region: This fits well. CONCACAF defines a geographical/competitive region.
2. Subject of study: Less likely. While sports can be a subject, "area" here refers to the scope of competition/experience, not an academic field.
3. Part of an animal: Irrelevant.
4. Environment or walk of life (sphere/domain/field/arena): This is also a strong candidate. "Field" or "domain" fits the competitive context.
5. Part of a structure: Irrelevant.
6. 2-dimensional surface extent: Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4:
Sense 1: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography)" -> CONCACAF is a geographical region (North/Central America, Caribbean).
Sense 4: "a particular environment or walk of life (synonyms: sphere, domain, orbit, field, arena)" -> CONCACAF defines a competitive domain/field of play.

In the context of international sports and confederations (like FIFA, CONCACAF), the term "area" often refers to the competitive domain or sphere of influence/activity. Sense 4 captures this abstract concept of a competitive domain ("field" or "arena") very well, which is slightly broader and more precise than just "geographical region" when discussing competitive levels.

However, Sense 1 explicitly includes "geographical region" and "distinguished by its people or culture or geography." Since CONCACAF is fundamentally a geographical grouping of nations, Sense 1 is highly accurate.

Let's re-examine the relationship between Sense 1 and Sense 4.
Sense 4 synonyms include "field" and "arena."
Sense 1 synonyms include "country."

When discussing CONCACAF, it is a geographical region (Sense 1). It is also a competitive field/domain (Sense 4).

If I must choose the *single best* indexed sense:
The context is about "international experience" within a specific grouping (CONCACAF). This grouping functions as a competitive domain or sphere of activity. Sense 4, with synonyms like "domain," "field," and "arena," captures the meaning of a scope of activity or experience better than the purely geographical definition in Sense 1, although Sense 1 is not wrong.

Let's check the examples for Sense 4: "his social sphere is limited; it was a closed area of employment." This usage relates to scope/domain, which matches the context of limited international experience.

Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "it was a mountainous area; Bible country." This is purely geographical.

Given the abstract nature of "international experience" and the reference to a competitive body (CONCACAF), Sense 4 (a particular environment or walk of life/domain/field) is the most nuanced and fitting interpretation of the usage here.

I will select Sense 4.

2. level%1:26:01: a relative position or degree of value in a graded group (grade, tier)

8. level%1:06:01: a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale (floor, storey, story)

Analysis of the context:
The sentence discusses international experience in CONCACAF relative to FIFA. It states that CONCACAF is considered the "lowest level within FIFA."

This usage implies a ranking or hierarchy of quality, importance, or status among different geographical/organizational areas (CONCACAF vs. FIFA/other areas).

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **level%1:07:00 (position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality):** This fits well. CONCACAF is at the "lowest quality/intensity/status" level compared to the overall FIFA structure.
2. **level%1:26:01 (relative position or degree of value in a graded group):** This also fits very well. FIFA is a graded group, and CONCACAF is at the lowest tier/grade.
3. **level%1:26:00 (specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process):** This is also plausible, as it refers to a position in a series (of confederations).
4. **level%1:07:01 (height above ground):** Incorrect.
5. **level%1:06:00 (spirit level):** Incorrect.
6. **level%1:06:03 (flat surface):** Incorrect.
7. **level%1:09:00 (abstract place/layer):** Less likely, as it usually refers to layers of meaning or substance, not organizational ranking.
8. **level%1:06:01 (floor/storey):** Incorrect.

Comparing 1, 2, and 3:
The context is about ranking/status within a system (FIFA).
Sense 1 (position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality) is very broad and covers ranking.
Sense 2 (relative position or degree of value in a graded group) specifically addresses the idea of a "graded group" (like FIFA's confederations) and a "relative position" (lowest). This seems the most precise fit for comparing CONCACAF's status within the FIFA structure.
Sense 3 (specific identifiable position in a continuum or series) is also good, but Sense 2 captures the evaluative nature ("lowest") better.

I choose Sense 2 as the best fit because it specifically addresses the concept of a relative position or degree of value within a defined group (FIFA/confederations).

Target lemma: peak
Target surface form: peak
Context:
While the Europe and world champions, number one one in the monthly top of FIFA, have a long record of Class A inter selection, the Tricolor has only the defender Michael Umana as the only one who has 50 international games. That number was reached Friday before the game against Panama (0-2), in Rommel Fernandez. Spanish football players playing in the All-Star League and in powerful clubs of the Premier League of England are during the year very active in league and local cup competitions and there are high-level shocks in the European Cups and European Champions League. To this is added the Spanish Fury experience in complicated qualifications for Euro Cup and World Cup. The Ticos players, however, have a limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF, which is considered the lowest level within FIFA We see that the <t>peak</t> of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain.

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

Context: "We see that the <t>peak</t> of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

Target word: peak

Analysis of the context:
The sentence states: "We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas..."
"Spanish selection" refers to the national football team.
"peak" is used here to describe the most important, best, or highest-performing member of the team.
The following text discusses Casillas equaling and breaking records, reinforcing the idea of excellence or highest achievement.

Evaluation of candidate senses:

1. sense_key=peak%1:23:00:: | definition=the most extreme possible amount or value | synonyms=extremum. (Relates to quantity/value, less about quality/status.)
2. sense_key=peak%1:28:00:: | definition=the period of greatest prosperity or productivity | synonyms=flower, prime, heyday. (Refers to a time period, not a person.)
3. sense_key=peak%1:26:00:: | definition=the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development | synonyms=acme, height, elevation, pinnacle, summit, superlative. (This fits perfectly. "The peak of the selection" means the highest quality/most outstanding member.)
4. sense_key=peak%1:15:00:: | definition=the top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or hill) | synonyms=crown, crest, top, tip, summit. (Physical location, not abstract quality/status.)
5. sense_key=peak%1:25:01:: | definition=a V shape | synonyms=point, tip. (Shape, irrelevant.)
6. sense_key=peak%1:15:01:: | definition=the highest point (of something) | synonyms=vertex, apex, acme. (This is also a strong candidate, focusing on the highest point/apex. It overlaps significantly with sense 3.)
7. sense_key=peak%1:06:00:: | definition=a brim that projects to the front to shade the eyes | synonyms=bill, eyeshade, visor, vizor. (Physical object, irrelevant.)

Comparing 3 and 6:
Sense 3: "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development" (Synonyms: acme, pinnacle, superlative). This captures the abstract idea of being the best or most outstanding.
Sense 6: "the highest point (of something)" (Synonyms: vertex, apex, acme). This is more literal about reaching a maximum point.

In the context "the peak of the Spanish selection," "peak" functions metaphorically to mean the pinnacle of talent or quality. Sense 3, with its focus on "highest level or degree attainable" and synonyms like "pinnacle" and "superlative," is the most precise fit for describing the best player in a team. Sense 6 is also good, but Sense 3 emphasizes the *quality* or *level* of achievement, which is what is being described when identifying the best player.

I will choose sense 3.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: `goalkeeper`
    *   Target surface form: `goalkeeper`
    *   Context snippet: "We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the <t>goalkeeper</t> Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."
    *   The context discusses international matches, Spanish selection, and specific players (Iker Casillas, Andoni Zubizarreta) who are known football (soccer) players.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `goalkeeper%1:18:00` | definition=the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal | synonyms=goalie, goaltender, netkeeper, netminder
    *   Sense 2: `goalkeeper%1:04:00` | definition=the defensive position on an ice hockey or soccer or lacrosse team who stands in front of the goal and tries to prevent opposing players from scoring | synonyms=goalie, goaltender, netkeeper

3.  **Compare senses against context:**
    *   The context explicitly mentions "Spanish selection," "international matches," "England," "Panama," "Tricolor," and "football players" (implied by the overall article context, which discusses FIFA, Premier League, etc.). This strongly points to soccer (football).
    *   Sense 1 defines the role as "the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal."
    *   Sense 2 defines the role as "the defensive position on an ice hockey or soccer or lacrosse team..."

4.  **Determine the best fit:**
    *   Both senses cover soccer. However, Sense 1 is slightly more direct and focuses on the *player* ("the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal"), which aligns perfectly with the usage ("the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas").
    *   Sense 2 is broader, defining the *position* and listing multiple sports (ice hockey, soccer, lacrosse).
    *   Since the context is purely about professional soccer players and their international records, Sense 1 is the most precise fit for the specific usage in this text.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1. (Note: The instructions require returning the index number, but the prompt asks for a JSON object with a sense index, and the provided candidates are numbered 1 and 2).

6.  **Format the output:** The prompt requires the output to be a JSON object like `{"sense_index": 3}`. Since I selected Sense 1, the index is 1.

The target surface form is "game".
The surrounding context clearly relates to international football (soccer) matches, specifically mentioning "Spanish selection," "goalkeeper Iker Casillas," "England," "international matches," and a score (0-1).

Let's examine 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 football match (a contest).

2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: | definition=a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours
    * This refers to a single action or the duration, not the event itself ("against England game").

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 fit the high-stakes international sports 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 not the primary meaning here.

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.

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.

The phrase is "against England (game lost with 0-1 in London)". This refers to the match itself.
Sense 1: "a contest with rules to determine a winner." This is the most accurate definition for a sporting event like a football match.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Context:
"We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the <t>record</t> of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The word "record" is used twice:
1. "...equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches."
2. "...will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The context clearly relates to the number of international matches played by a goalkeeper (Casillas and Zubizarreta). This is a measure of achievement or performance in sports.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=record%1:10:03: Permanent evidence/information (document, photograph). (Not relevant to match counts.)
2. sense_key=record%1:06:00: Sound recording (disk). (Not relevant.)
3. sense_key=record%1:23:00: The number of wins versus losses and ties a team has had. (This is a specific type of sports record, but the context is about total matches played, not W-L-T.)
4. sense_key=record%1:04:01: The sum of recognized accomplishments (track record). (This fits the general idea of accumulated achievements, like total matches.)
5. sense_key=record%1:10:02: Compilation of known facts (record book). (Too general, less specific to athletic achievement.)
6. sense_key=record%1:04:00: An extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport). (This perfectly describes setting a new high mark, like the most international matches played.)
7. sense_key=record%1:21:00: Legal evidence (document). (Not relevant.)
8. sense_key=record%1:10:00: List of crimes (criminal record). (Not relevant.)

Comparing Sense 4 and Sense 6:
Sense 4: "the sum of recognized accomplishments" (track record).
Sense 6: "an extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport)."

While the total number of matches is an accomplishment (Sense 4), the phrasing "equaled the record... with 126 international matches" and "impose a new record of 127 international matches" strongly suggests reaching a specific, measurable, high-water mark or milestone—a statistical peak. Sense 6, defining it as "an extreme attainment" in a sport, is the most precise fit for setting a new high count (127 matches).

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

The text discusses international football (soccer) players, specifically mentioning FIFA, World Cup, Euro Cup, Premier League, and specific players like Iker Casillas and Andoni Zubizarreta.
The relevant sentence is: "We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex <t>goalkeeper</t> Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches."

Target word: "goalkeeper" (referring to Andoni Zubizarreta).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=goalkeeper%1:18:00:: | definition=the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal | synonyms=goalie, goaltender, netkeeper, netminder
2. sense_key=goalkeeper%1:04:00:: | definition=the defensive position on an ice hockey or soccer or lacrosse team who stands in front of the goal and tries to prevent opposing players from scoring | synonyms=goalie, goaltender, netkeeper

Evaluation:
The context is clearly about football (soccer) ("Spanish football players," "Euro Cup," "World Cup," "against England").
Both senses relate to soccer/hockey players protecting the goal.

Sense 1 definition: "the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal"
Sense 2 definition: "the defensive position on an ice hockey or soccer or lacrosse team who stands in front of the goal and tries to prevent opposing players from scoring"

Sense 1 is slightly more concise and directly mentions "soccer player," which aligns perfectly with the context (Spanish football players).
Sense 2 is also accurate but includes more sports (lacrosse) and is slightly more descriptive of the *position* rather than the *player* (though they are synonymous in usage).

Given the strong focus on soccer in the text, Sense 1 ("the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal") is the most appropriate and specific fit.

I need to return the JSON object with the index of the chosen sense.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

Context:
While the Europe and world champions, number one one in the monthly top of FIFA, have a long record of Class A inter selection, the Tricolor has only the defender Michael Umana as the only one who has 50 international games. That number was reached Friday before the game against Panama (0-2), in Rommel Fernandez. Spanish football players playing in the All-Star League and in powerful clubs of the Premier League of England are during the year very active in league and local cup competitions and there are high-level shocks in the European Cups and European Champions League. To this is added the Spanish Fury experience in complicated qualifications for Euro Cup and World Cup. The Ticos players, however, have a limited international experience in an area such as CONCACAF, which is considered the lowest level within FIFA We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international <t>matches</t>. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain.

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

Context snippet:
"...who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international <t>matches</t>. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The word "matches" is used in the context of "126 international matches" and "127 international matches". This refers to games played in international competitions.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=match%1:06:00:: | definition=lighter consisting of a thin piece of wood or cardboard tipped with combustible chemical; ignites with friction
   (Refers to a physical lighter/matchstick. Incorrect.)
2. sense_key=match%1:11:00:: | definition=a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete
   (Refers to a competition/game. Highly relevant.)
3. sense_key=match%1:06:02:: | definition=a burning piece of wood or cardboard
   (Refers to a burning matchstick. Incorrect.)
4. sense_key=match%1:06:01:: | definition=an exact duplicate
   (Incorrect.)
5. sense_key=match%1:23:00:: | definition=the score needed to win a match
   (Refers to a score, not the event itself. Incorrect.)
6. sense_key=match%1:18:01:: | definition=a person regarded as a good matrimonial prospect
   (Incorrect.)
7. sense_key=match%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who is of equal standing with another in a group
   (Incorrect.)
8. sense_key=match%1:14:00:: | definition=a pair of people who live together
   (Incorrect.)
9. sense_key=match%1:09:00:: | definition=something that resembles or harmonizes with
   (Incorrect.)

The context clearly refers to sporting events ("international games," "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor").

Sense 2: "a formal contest in which two or more persons or teams compete." This perfectly describes an international football match.

Therefore, sense_key=match%1:11:00 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "today" in the given context.

Context: "Casillas will play <t>today</t> against the Tricolor and will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

Target word: today

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=today%1:28:00:: | definition=the present time or age | examples=the world of today; today we have computers
2. sense_key=today%1:28:01:: | definition=the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow) | examples=Today is beautiful; did you see today's newspaper?

Analysis:
The sentence refers to a future event: "Casillas will play today against the Tricolor."
The word "today" here specifies the specific day on which the match will take place.

Sense 1 ("the present time or age") is too broad and relates more to eras or general periods (e.g., "the world of today"). This does not fit the context of a specific scheduled event.
Sense 2 ("the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow)") perfectly matches the usage. It refers to a specific calendar day when an action (playing the match) will occur. The examples provided ("Today is beautiful," "today's newspaper") also relate to specific days.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

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

Context:
"We see that the peak of the Spanish selection is the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who last Saturday against England (game lost with 0-1 in London) equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches. Casillas will play today against the Tricolor and will impose a new <t>record</t> of 127 international matches for Spain. Xavi Hernandez, the player of Barcelona, has 106 matches."

The word "record" appears twice in the relevant section:
1. "...equaled the record of the ex goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 international matches."
2. "...will impose a new record of 127 international matches for Spain."

The context clearly relates to sports statistics (international matches played by a goalkeeper).

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=record%1:10:03: Permanent evidence/information (document, photograph). (Not relevant)
2. sense_key=record%1:06:00: Sound recording (disk). (Not relevant)
3. sense_key=record%1:23:00: Number of wins versus losses and ties a team has had. (This is a type of record, but the context is about a single player's total matches, not team W-L-T.)
4. sense_key=record%1:04:01: The sum of recognized accomplishments (track record). (This fits well, as the number of matches is an accomplishment/statistic.)
5. sense_key=record%1:10:02: Compilation of known facts (record book). (Not relevant)
6. sense_key=record%1:04:00: An extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport). (This is the most precise fit. The number of matches is a statistical milestone or an extreme attainment in a sporting context.)
7. sense_key=record%1:21:00: Legal evidence (document). (Not relevant)
8. sense_key=record%1:10:00: List of crimes (criminal record). (Not relevant)

Comparing 4 and 6:
Sense 4 (track record): "the lawyer has a good record; the track record shows that he will be a good president." This is broad, referring to a history of performance.
Sense 6 (extreme attainment): "he tied the Olympic record; coffee production last year broke all previous records." This specifically refers to setting or matching a maximum/minimum performance level, which is exactly what happens when a player reaches a new high number of matches.

The context uses "record" to denote a specific statistical milestone (126 matches, 127 matches). Sense 6, "an extreme attainment; the best (or worst) performance ever attested (as in a sport)," is the most accurate description of a statistical milestone in sports.

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

Let's evaluate the candidates:
1. Lighter/combustible piece: Incorrect.
