Target lemma: imperative
Target surface form: imperative
Context:
U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago. The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers. Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming. With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake, fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies. The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific <t>imperative</t> to take bolder action. Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions.

Context: "The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific <t>imperative</t> to take bolder action."

Target word: imperative

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=imperative%1:24:00:: | definition=a mood that expresses an intention to influence the listener's behavior | synonyms=imperative mood, jussive mood, imperative form (Grammatical/Linguistic sense)
2. sense_key=imperative%1:04:00:: | definition=some duty that is essential and urgent (Necessity/Urgency sense)

Analysis:
The context discusses "saving individual economies as saving the planet," "feuding over their respective obligations," and "poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action."

The word "imperative" here modifies "scientific." It refers to a critical need or requirement derived from science (i.e., the scientific necessity for action).

Sense 1 relates to grammar (mood). This is clearly incorrect in this context.
Sense 2 relates to duty, necessity, and urgency ("some duty that is essential and urgent"). This perfectly matches the meaning of a "scientific imperative" (a critical, urgent requirement based on scientific findings).

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "costs" in the given context.
The target word is "costs" (plural of cost).
The context sentence is: "Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the <t>costs</t> for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions."

The candidates are:
1. sense_key=cost%1:21:00:: | definition=the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor
2. sense_key=cost%1:07:00:: | definition=the property of having material worth (often indicated by the amount of money something would bring if sold) | synonyms=monetary value, price | examples=the fluctuating monetary value of gold and silver; he puts a high price on his services
3. sense_key=cost%1:07:01:: | definition=value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something | synonyms=price, toll | examples=the cost in human life was enormous; the price of success is hard work

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses "major powers fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases."
"Curbing greenhouse gases" refers to climate action, which involves efforts, changes, and investments (e.g., transitioning energy sources, implementing regulations).
The phrase "bear the costs" implies responsibility for the necessary expenditures or sacrifices associated with this action.

Evaluating the senses:
1. **sense_key=cost%1:21:00**: "the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor." This fits well. Climate action requires spending money, time, and labor (e.g., on technology, policy changes).
2. **sense_key=cost%1:07:00**: "the property of having material worth." This is closer to 'value' or 'price' in a general sense, but the context is about *bearing* the expense of an action, not defining the inherent worth of something.
3. **sense_key=cost%1:07:01**: "value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something." This is also a strong candidate, as "curbing greenhouse gases" requires giving up certain practices or undergoing economic shifts.

Comparing 1 and 3:
Sense 1 focuses on the *expenditure* (money, time, labor) required for goods/services.
Sense 3 focuses on the *sacrifice/effort* required to achieve a goal.

In the context of international climate negotiations, "costs" usually refers to the economic burden, financial investment, and structural changes required (e.g., the cost of switching to renewable energy). Both senses 1 and 3 capture this.

However, Sense 1 ("the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor") is the most direct and comprehensive definition for the financial and operational burden associated with large-scale policy implementation like "curbing greenhouse gases." While Sense 3 is related (the price of action), Sense 1 is a more precise description of the economic burden being debated by "major powers."

Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 3: "the cost in human life was enormous; the price of success is hard work." This emphasizes sacrifice/suffering.
Sense 1: "the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor." This emphasizes economic outlay.

Since the debate is between "major powers" regarding who should "bear" the costs, the economic/financial burden (Sense 1) is the primary meaning intended.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Analysis:
The context discusses climate change, global warming, greenhouse gases, and holding "big emitters" accountable. The phrase is "vulnerable countries." In this geopolitical and environmental context, "countries" refers to sovereign political entities (nations/states) that are susceptible to the effects of climate change.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=country%1:14:00**: "a politically organized body of people under a single government." This aligns perfectly with the concept of a nation-state involved in international climate negotiations.
2. **sense_key=country%1:15:00**: "the territory occupied by a nation." While related, the focus here is on the political entity (the vulnerable nation), not just the physical landmass. Sense 1 is more encompassing of the political actors.
3. **sense_key=country%1:14:01**: "the people who live in a nation or country." This refers to inhabitants, not the political units themselves. Incorrect.
4. **sense_key=country%1:15:01**: "an area outside of cities and towns." This is the geographical/rural sense. Incorrect.
5. **sense_key=country%1:15:02**: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary." This is too vague and doesn't capture the political weight implied by "vulnerable countries" in this context.

Sense 1, defining a country as a "politically organized body of people under a single government," is the most accurate fit for "vulnerable countries" in a discussion about international climate policy and global emitters.

The correct sense index is 1.

    *   Context sentence: "...even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their <t>actions</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The discussion is about climate change, greenhouse gases, global warming, and holding "big emitters" (countries) accountable for their contributions/behavior.

2.  **Determine the meaning of 'actions' in this context:**
    *   When countries are held accountable for their "actions" regarding climate change, these actions refer to their policies, behaviors, decisions, or steps taken (or not taken) regarding emissions and environmental responsibility. It refers to specific deeds or policies.

3.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `sense_key=action%1:04:02`: something done (usually as opposed to something said). *Fits well. Policies and behaviors are "things done."*
    *   2. `sense_key=action%1:26:00`: the state of being active. *Too abstract. Refers to specific deeds, not just general activity.*

    *   8. `sense_key=action%1:04:01`: a judicial proceeding. *Irrelevant (legal context, but the context is climate policy, not court cases).*
    *   9. `sense_key=action%1:04:04`: an act by a government body or supranational organization. *Very strong fit. Climate policy is governmental/international action.*
    *   10. `sense_key=action%1:04:00`: the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field. *Too focused on 'hot topics' or 'focus area', not specific deeds.*

4.  **Compare the best candidates (1 and 9):**
    *   Sense 1: "something done." (General)
    *   Sense 9: "an act by a government body or supranational organization." (Specific to the context of international climate negotiations/policy).

    Since the context involves "big emitters" (countries/governments) and accountability for global warming, the actions are inherently governmental or policy-based. Sense 9 is the most precise and specialized fit for the domain (international relations/environmental policy) compared to the general definition in Sense 1.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 9 is the best fit.

2. sense_key=central_america%1:14:00:: | definition=the nations of Central America collectively (Political/Geographical grouping of countries)

Analysis:
The context mentions Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, serving as a regional climate change adviser for Conservation International, specifically for "Mexico and Central America."

1. If sense 1 (the isthmus) were used, it would refer to the physical land bridge. While the region is geographically defined by this isthmus, when referring to an adviser for a region that includes Mexico (a large country) and is discussing climate change policy, the reference is almost certainly to the collective political/national grouping of countries, not just the narrow geographical strip.
2. Sense 2 (the nations of Central America collectively) refers to the political and demographic grouping of countries (e.g., Costa Rica, Panama, etc., plus potentially Mexico in this regional context). This aligns perfectly with the role of a regional adviser dealing with international issues like climate change, where policy is applied to nations.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit because the context requires a collective reference to the countries/nations in that region for the purpose of regional advisory work.

Analysis of the context:
"Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen..."

The word "countries" refers to political entities that are vulnerable to climate change and are participating in international negotiations (Copenhagen treaty).

Evaluating the senses:
1. **sense_key=country%1:14:00**: "a politically organized body of people under a single government." This aligns perfectly with the concept of nations participating in international climate negotiations. Synonyms include "state" and "nation."
2. **sense_key=country%1:15:00**: "the territory occupied by a nation." While related, the context refers to the political actors/entities, not just the physical landmass itself, although the two are often conflated. Sense 1 is more precise regarding the political nature of the participants.
3. **sense_key=country%1:14:01**: "the people who live in a nation or country." The context refers to the *countries* (entities), not the *people* (inhabitants).
4. **sense_key=country%1:15:01**: "an area outside of cities and towns." This is the geographical/rural sense, which is irrelevant here.
5. **sense_key=country%1:15:02**: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary." This is too vague and doesn't capture the political nature implied by "treaty" and "negotiations."

Conclusion: Sense 1, defining a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation/state), is the best fit for countries participating in international climate policy discussions.

Target lemma: impact
Target surface form: impact
Context:
Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming. With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake, fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies. The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action. Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions. This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the <t>impact</t> of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning.

Context: "Some of the countries most vulnerable to the <t>impact</t> of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best."

Target word: impact

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=impact%1:11:00:: | definition=the striking of one body against another (Physical collision)
2. sense_key=impact%1:19:00:: | definition=a forceful consequence; a strong effect | synonyms=wallop | examples=the book had an important impact on my thinking; the book packs a wallop (Effect/Consequence)
3. sense_key=impact%1:04:00:: | definition=influencing strongly | synonyms=impingement, encroachment | examples=they resented the impingement of American values on European culture (Influence/Intrusion)
4. sense_key=impact%1:04:01:: | definition=the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat | synonyms=shock | examples=the armies met in the shock of battle (Combat/Clash)

Analysis:
The phrase is "vulnerable to the impact of climate change."
Climate change is an abstract phenomenon that causes changes in the environment, economies, and societies.
"Vulnerable to X" implies susceptibility to the effects or consequences of X.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Physical striking: Climate change does not physically strike a country in this sense. (Incorrect)
2. Forceful consequence/strong effect: Climate change has strong effects (e.g., rising sea levels, extreme weather, agricultural failure) on vulnerable countries. This fits perfectly.
3. Influencing strongly: While climate change influences, "impact" here is used to describe the resulting harm or consequence, which is stronger than just "influencing." Sense 2 captures the severity better.
4. Combat/Clash: Not relevant to climate change. (Incorrect)

Sense 2, "a forceful consequence; a strong effect," is the best fit for "the impact of climate change."

I need to return the JSON object with the correct sense index.
Sense 2 corresponds to index 2.

Analysis:
The context discusses climate change talks in Copenhagen, a legally binding treaty, and major countries. The word "participants" refers to the major countries involved in these talks.

Sense 1: "someone who takes part in an activity." This fits perfectly. The countries are taking part in the climate talks/negotiations.
Sense 2: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." This refers to games (like chess or sports) and is irrelevant to international climate negotiations.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target word: deal

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=deal%1:04:02:: | definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | synonyms=trade, business deal | Context suggests a political outcome, not necessarily a commercial transaction.
2. sense_key=deal%1:10:00:: | definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | synonyms=bargain | This fits perfectly. The context discusses "talks" leading to a "political deal," which is an agreement between parties (nations) regarding obligations (climate action).
3. sense_key=deal%1:23:00:: | definition=(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent | synonyms=batch, flock, good deal, great deal, hatful, heap | This is a quantifier (e.g., "a deal of trouble"), which doesn't fit the context of a political outcome.

7. sense_key=deal%1:11:00:: | definition=the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement) | While related to agreements, sense 2 is more precise for the *outcome* of negotiations ("a political deal"). Sense 7 usually refers to the benefit received (e.g., "a good deal on his car").
8. sense_key=deal%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of distributing playing cards | Irrelevant (card games).
9. sense_key=deal%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of apportioning or distributing something | Irrelevant (distribution/logistics).

Conclusion: Sense 2, "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each," is the best fit for "a political deal" resulting from international talks.

    *   Context sentence: "The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 <t>members</t>, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses international climate negotiations, major powers, developing world, emerging economies, and the Alliance of Small Island States (a group of nations).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (member%1:18:00):** one of the persons who compose a social group (individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization). *Synonyms: fellow member.*
    *   **Sense 2 (member%1:24:00):** anything that belongs to a set or class. *Examples: snakes are members of the class Reptilia.* (Abstract/classification sense).

3.  **Evaluate the context against the senses:**
    *   The subject is "The Alliance of Small Island States." This is an international group/organization.
    *   The word "members" refers to the entities that constitute this Alliance.
    *   The Alliance is composed of "Small Island States." These are nations/states.

    *   *Check Sense 1 (Individual person):* While the members are people, the context refers to the *states* belonging to the alliance. Sense 4 is more precise for political/international groups.
    *   *Check Sense 2 (Set/Class):* Incorrect. The members are specific entities, not just examples of a class.
    *   *Check Sense 3 (Body part):* Incorrect.
    *   *Check Sense 4 (State/Organizational membership):* This sense specifically addresses states belonging to a group of nations (like the UN or, in this case, the Alliance). This fits perfectly with "Alliance of Small Island States" having "members" (which are states).
    *   *Check Sense 5 (Sexual):* Incorrect.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the best fit because the context involves an international alliance composed of sovereign states.

Context snippet: "The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page <t>draft</t> treaty proposal early Friday morning."

Target word: draft
Contextual meaning: A 24-page treaty proposal. This suggests an early or preliminary version of a formal document.

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=draft%1:21:00: Document ordering payment (bill of exchange). -> Incorrect.
2. sense_key=draft%1:19:00: Current of air. -> Incorrect.
3. sense_key=draft%1:06:01: Preliminary sketch of a design or picture. -> Possible, but usually refers to visual art/design, not a formal treaty proposal.
4. sense_key=draft%1:13:00: Serving of drink. -> Incorrect.
5. sense_key=draft%1:10:00: Any of the various versions in the development of a written work. Synonyms: draft copy. Examples: a preliminary draft; the final draft of the constitution. -> Highly relevant. A "treaty proposal" is a written work, and "draft" fits the meaning of a preliminary version.
6. sense_key=draft%1:07:00: Depth of a vessel's keel. -> Incorrect.
7. sense_key=draft%1:06:02: Regulator for controlling air flow. -> Incorrect.
8. sense_key=draft%1:06:00: Dose of liquid medicine. -> Incorrect.
9. sense_key=draft%1:04:03: Compulsory military service. -> Incorrect.
10. sense_key=draft%1:04:02: Large and hurried swallow. -> Incorrect.
11. sense_key=draft%1:04:00: Act of moving a load by drawing or pulling. -> Incorrect.

The context clearly indicates that "draft" refers to a preliminary version of a written document (a treaty proposal). Sense 5, "any of the various versions in the development of a written work," matches this meaning perfectly, especially given the synonym "draft copy" and the example "a preliminary draft."

Therefore, sense 5 is the best fit.

3. sense_key=proposal%1:10:01:: | definition=the act of making a proposal | synonyms=proposition | examples=they listened to her proposal

Analysis:
The word "proposal" is used in the phrase "draft treaty proposal."
A "draft treaty" is a document outlining terms for a treaty. A "proposal" in this context refers to the document or the suggested plan itself.

Sense 1: "something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)". This fits perfectly. A draft treaty is a proposed plan/document.
Sense 2: "an offer of marriage". This is clearly incorrect given the context of climate change and treaties.
Sense 3: "the act of making a proposal". This refers to the action (the verb form or the event), whereas here, "proposal" is a noun referring to the resulting document ("a 24-page draft treaty proposal").

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India.

Context: "The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday <t>morning</t>."

Target word: morning

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=morning%1:28:00:: | definition=the time period between dawn and noon | synonyms=morn, morning time, forenoon | examples=I spent the morning running errands
2. sense_key=morning%1:10:00:: | definition=a conventional expression of greeting or farewell | synonyms=good morning

4. sense_key=morning%1:11:00:: | definition=the earliest period | synonyms=dawn | examples=the dawn of civilization; the morning of the world

Analysis:
The phrase is "early Friday morning". This refers to a specific time of day, shortly after the start of Friday.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=morning%1:28:00**: "the time period between dawn and noon". This matches the common usage of "morning" as a part of the day (e.g., "morning meeting," "morning commute"). "Early Friday morning" fits this definition perfectly.
2. **sense_key=morning%1:10:00**: "a conventional expression of greeting or farewell". This is clearly incorrect.
3. **sense_key=morning%1:28:01**: "the first light of day". While morning includes the first light, the context refers to a specific time when a document was produced ("early Friday morning"), not the physical phenomenon of dawn itself.
4. **sense_key=morning%1:11:00**: "the earliest period". This is too abstract and usually refers to metaphorical beginnings (like "the morning of a new era"). It doesn't fit the temporal marker "early Friday morning."

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1 defines "morning" as the time period (dawn to noon). This is the standard temporal usage.
Sense 3 defines "morning" as the first light of day (dawn). While related, the context uses "morning" as a general temporal marker for the start of the day, not specifically focusing on the visual aspect of dawn.

Sense 1 is the most accurate and general fit for "early Friday morning."

Wait, let me re-read the instructions and check if there is a subtle distinction I missed.
Context: "...produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning."
This is a time reference.

Sense 1: time period between dawn and noon. (Best fit)
Sense 3: the first light of day. (Too specific/poetic for this factual reporting context)

I will choose Sense 1.

Target lemma: climate
Target surface form: climate
Context:
The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action. Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions. This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best.

2. sense_key=climate%1:26:01:: | definition=the prevailing psychological state | synonyms=mood | examples=the climate of opinion; the national mood had changed radically since the last election

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses "international climate negotiations," "small island nations," "demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India," and the need to "resolve most of the outstanding issues." The surrounding text also mentions "curbing greenhouse gases" and "climate change."

Analysis of the senses:
Sense 1 relates to long-term weather patterns and environmental conditions (e.g., "climate change," "greenhouse gases"). This aligns perfectly with the discussion of international negotiations regarding environmental impact and global warming.
Sense 2 relates to mood or atmosphere (e.g., "climate of opinion"). This does not fit the technical/political context of international environmental negotiations.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct sense.

Target word: negotiations

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=negotiation%1:10:00:: | definition=a discussion intended to produce an agreement | synonyms=dialogue, talks | examples=the buyout negotiation lasted several days; they disagreed but kept an open dialogue
2. sense_key=negotiation%1:04:00:: | definition=the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms

Analysis:
The context describes "international climate negotiations" where delegates are trying to "resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal." The overall theme is high-level political discussions aimed at reaching an agreement (a treaty or deal) regarding climate change.

Sense 1: "a discussion intended to produce an agreement." This fits perfectly. "International climate negotiations" are discussions aimed at producing a climate agreement/treaty. The synonyms include "talks," which is also used in the context ("The talks took on new urgency...").

Sense 2: "the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms." This is broader and refers to the process itself. While the negotiations *are* the activity, Sense 1 focuses on the *event* or *discussion* (which is what "international climate negotiations" refers to in this specific phrase), and its definition ("a discussion intended to produce an agreement") aligns very closely with the function described in the text (resolving issues to strike a deal).

Comparing 1 and 2:
Sense 1 emphasizes the *discussion* aspect leading to an agreement.
Sense 2 emphasizes the *activity/business* of negotiating.

In the phrase "international climate negotiations," it refers to the formal meetings/discussions. Sense 1, with its definition "a discussion intended to produce an agreement" and synonym "talks," is the most precise fit for the context of high-level political talks aiming for a treaty.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best choice.

The context sentence is: "Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on <t>behalf</t> of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has 'put political pressure on the entire political process,' in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India."

The candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=behalf%1:04:00:: | definition=as the agent of or on someone's part (usually expressed as rather than ) | examples=on behalf of; in behalf of
2. sense_key=behalf%1:07:00:: | definition=for someone's benefit (usually expressed as `in behalf' rather than `on behalf' and usually with a possessive) | examples=in your behalf; campaigning in his own behalf

The phrase in the context is "on behalf of the European Commission".

Let's analyze the senses:
Sense 1: "as the agent of or on someone's part". This matches the structure "on behalf of [entity]". When someone acts "on behalf of" an entity, they are acting as that entity's representative or agent.
Sense 2: "for someone's benefit". This relates to benefiting someone, often expressed as "in behalf of".

In the context, Artur Runge-Metzger "heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission." This means he is representing the European Commission in these negotiations. He is acting *as the agent* of the Commission.

This strongly aligns with Sense 1: "as the agent of or on someone's part".

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context sentence: "Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has 'put political <t>pressure</t> on the entire political process,' in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India."

Target word: pressure

Analysis of the context:
The word "pressure" is used in the phrase "put political pressure on the entire political process." This phrase suggests influence, demand, or compulsion exerted by the small island nations on the political process.

Analysis of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=pressure%1:19:00: Force applied to a unit area of surface (Physical force). (Unlikely)
2. sense_key=pressure%1:07:00: A force that compels. (This aligns well with political influence/compulsion.)
3. sense_key=pressure%1:04:00: The act of pressing; the exertion of pressure (Physical action). (Unlikely in this political context, though related to sense 2.)
4. sense_key=pressure%1:26:00: The state of demanding notice or attention. (This is a strong candidate, relating to insistence/demand.)
5. sense_key=pressure%1:09:00: Somatic sensation (Physical feeling). (Irrelevant)
6. sense_key=pressure%1:26:01: An oppressive condition of distress (State of being under pressure). (Less likely; the sentence describes an action/force being applied, not a state of distress.)
7. sense_key=pressure%1:19:01: Atmospheric pressure (Physical force). (Irrelevant)

Comparing the strong candidates (2 and 4):
Sense 2: "a force that compels." Example: "the public brought pressure to bear on the government."
Sense 4: "the state of demanding notice or attention." Synonyms: "imperativeness, insistence, insistency." Example: "the insistence of their hunger."

In the context, "put political pressure on the entire political process" means the small island nations are compelling or forcing the political process to change or act.

Sense 2 ("a force that compels") captures the active, compelling nature of the political influence described.
Sense 4 ("the state of demanding notice or attention") captures the insistence, which is the mechanism of the pressure.

However, "political pressure" in this context is widely understood as political leverage or compulsion. Sense 2, "a force that compels," is the most direct and accurate definition for this usage. The example provided for Sense 2 ("the public brought pressure to bear on the government") perfectly mirrors the structure and meaning of the context sentence.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

        *   *Relevance:* This refers to gradual change (e.g., climate change itself, or a chemical reaction). While the negotiations are part of a larger climate change *process*, the phrase "the entire political process" refers specifically to the *mechanism* of the negotiations, not the gradual change itself. Sense 1 is much more precise for "political process."

3.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   The phrase "political process" in the context of international negotiations (treaties, demands, talks) refers to the sequence of actions, discussions, and procedures being followed.
    *   Sense 1 ("a particular course of action intended to achieve a result; procedure") perfectly captures this meaning.
