Target lemma: metal
Target surface form: metal
Context:
There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common. Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services. The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. As important industrial sectors, the <t>metal</t> industry and the banking sector were also included. Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "metal" in the given context.
The context is: "As important industrial sectors, the <t>metal</t> industry and the banking sector were also included."
The candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=metal%1:27:00:: | definition=any of several chemical elements that are usually shiny solids that conduct heat or electricity and can be formed into sheets etc. | synonyms=metallic element
2. sense_key=metal%1:27:01:: | definition=a mixture containing two or more metallic elements or metallic and nonmetallic elements usually fused together or dissolving into each other when molten | synonyms=alloy | examples=brass is an alloy of zinc and copper

The target word "metal" is used in the phrase "metal industry".
The context discusses "industrial sectors" (metal industry and banking sector).

Sense 1 defines "metal" as a chemical element (e.g., iron, copper). This is the general sense of the material.
Sense 2 defines "metal" as an alloy (a mixture of metals).

When referring to an "industry," the term usually refers to the sector that processes or manufactures materials of that type. Both elements (Sense 1) and alloys (Sense 2) are materials processed by the metal industry.

However, the term "metal industry" is a standard collective noun referring to the entire sector involved in the production and processing of metallic materials. This encompasses both pure metals and their alloys.

Let's evaluate which sense is more appropriate for the *industry* context.
If the industry was specifically about brass, Sense 2 (alloy) might be more precise.
If the industry was about pure iron mining, Sense 1 (element) might be more precise.

Since the term is simply "metal industry," it refers to the broad category of manufacturing involving metals. Sense 1 provides the fundamental definition of the material type (metallic elements), which is the basis for the industry. Sense 2 is a specific type of metal (alloy).

In common usage, "metal industry" refers to the industry dealing with metallic materials in general, which aligns best with the definition of metallic elements (Sense 1).

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit for the general term "metal industry."

3. sense_key=industry%1:07:00:: | definition=persevering determination to perform a task | synonyms=diligence, industriousness | examples=his diligence won him quick promotions; frugality and industry are still regarded as virtues

Analysis:
The word "industry" is used in the phrase "industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector".
"Metal industry" and "banking sector" refer to specific economic/commercial fields or groups of companies.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=industry%1:14:00**: Definition is "the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise". This aligns perfectly with "metal industry" and "banking sector" (i.e., the companies/people in those fields).
2. **sense_key=industry%1:04:00**: Definition is "the organized action of making of goods and services for sale" (production/manufacturing). While metal industry involves making goods, this sense is broader and focuses on the *action* rather than the *sector/entity*. Sense 1 is more precise when paired with "sectors."
3. **sense_key=industry%1:07:00**: Definition is "persevering determination to perform a task" (diligence). This is clearly incorrect in this economic context.

Conclusion: Sense 1, which refers to the commercial enterprise or sector, is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the target word "banking" in the provided context.
The target word is "banking".
The context is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
The candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=banking%1:04:01:: | definition=engaging in the business of keeping money for savings and checking accounts or for exchange or for issuing loans and credit etc. (This refers to the industry/activity of banking).
2. sense_key=banking%1:04:00:: | definition=transacting business with a bank; depositing or withdrawing funds or requesting a loan etc. (This refers to the act of a customer using a bank).

Analysis of the context:
The phrase is "the banking sector".
The context lists "important industrial sectors": "the metal industry and the banking sector".
When referring to "the X sector" in an economic/industrial context, it typically refers to the industry itself.

Comparing the senses:
Sense 1 defines the *business* of banking (keeping money, issuing loans, etc.). This aligns perfectly with describing an "industrial sector."
Sense 2 defines the *act* of banking (transacting business with a bank). This would typically be phrased as "banking activities" or "personal banking," not "the banking sector" in this list of industries.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct interpretation.

6. sense_key=sector%1:06:00:: | definition=measuring instrument consisting of two graduated arms hinged at one end (Instrument)

Analysis:
The context mentions "industrial sectors" and specifically names "the metal industry and the banking sector."
This usage clearly refers to divisions within the economy or industry.

Let's evaluate the candidates:
1. Geometric: Irrelevant.
2. Economic/Social division: "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy." This fits perfectly with "industrial sectors" and "banking sector."
3. Area/Field: While related to economic fields, sense 2 is more specific to the structural division of the economy (like industrial sectors).
4. Computing: Irrelevant.
5. Military: Irrelevant.
6. Instrument: Irrelevant.

Sense 2 is the best fit. It defines a segment of the economy or society, which is exactly what "industrial sectors" and "banking sector" represent.

The instruction requires returning only a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 2 corresponds to index 2.

Analysis:
The sentence states: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
The metal industry and the banking sector are being grouped or listed alongside other entities (implied by "also"). They are being made part of a set or category of "important industrial sectors" being discussed in the context of the conference/study.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. sense_key=include%2:42:00 (have as a part, be made up out of): This relates to composition (e.g., a list includes names). While related to being part of something, it's often about internal structure.
2. sense_key=include%2:31:00 (consider as part of something): This is more abstract (e.g., considering someone a culprit). Less fitting for listing industrial sectors.
3. sense_key=include%2:30:00 (add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category): This perfectly matches the idea of placing specific sectors (metal, banking) into a defined group (important industrial sectors) for discussion or analysis.
4. sense_key=include%2:41:03 (allow participation in): This relates to permission or admission to an activity/group (e.g., admitting to a profession). This is incorrect; the sectors are being listed, not granted permission to participate in an event.

Conclusion: Sense 3, which means "put in as part of a set, group, or category," is the most accurate fit.

2. Sense 2: Refers to a physical device (loudspeaker). This is clearly incorrect as the context lists people.
3. Sense 3: Refers to a presiding officer (e.g., Speaker of the House). While a speaker can be a presiding officer, the context describes them as "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference," implying they are participants or presenters, not necessarily the official chair of the entire event, although they might be. However, Sense 1 is a broader and more accurate fit for someone who speaks at a conference.

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

Context analysis:
The text discusses a European conference on "social exclusion," public welfare services, the Spanish Ministry of "Social Affairs," and the "Economic and Social Committee." The overall theme is related to societal issues, welfare, and community life.

Target word: "social" (appears multiple times, e.g., "social exclusion," "Social Affairs," "Economic and Social Committee").

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=social%3:01:00:: | definition=relating to human society and its members | synonyms=societal | examples=social institutions; societal evolution
2. sense_key=social%3:00:00:: | definition=living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups | examples=a human being is a social animal; mature social behavior

5. sense_key=social%5:00:00:gregarious:00 | definition=tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind | examples=ants are social insects
6. sense_key=social%5:00:00:friendly:01 | definition=marked by friendly companionship with others | examples=a social cup of coffee

Evaluation:
The context uses "social" in the sense of relating to the structure, welfare, and issues of human society (e.g., "social exclusion," "Social Affairs," "Economic and Social Committee").

Sense 1: "relating to human society and its members." This perfectly matches the context of public welfare, social exclusion, and government ministries dealing with societal issues.
Sense 2: "living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups." While related, Sense 1 is broader and fits the formal, policy-oriented language of the text better.
Sense 3: "relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society." This is too narrow and specific (elite/high society).
Sense 4, 5, 6: These senses relate to personality traits (sociable, gregarious, friendly) or informal gatherings, which is not the meaning of "social" in "social exclusion" or "Social Affairs."

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Context analysis:
The text discusses a "European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services." It also mentions "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

The phrase "social exclusion" strongly suggests a sociological or welfare context, referring to people being left out of society or opportunities.

Candidate senses analysis:
1. `sense_key=exclusion%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being excluded` (General state of being left out)
2. `sense_key=exclusion%1:26:01:: | definition=the state of being excommunicated` (Religious/formal banishment)
3. `sense_key=exclusion%1:09:00:: | definition=a deliberate act of omission` (Leaving something out, like an exception)
4. `sense_key=exclusion%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of forcing out someone or something` (Expulsion, ejection)

Matching context to senses:
The context "social exclusion" relates to a major challenge for "public welfare services." This aligns perfectly with the concept of a state of being left out of social participation or opportunities.

Sense 1: "the state of being excluded." This is the most appropriate fit for "social exclusion."
Sense 2: Excommunication is too specific (religious).
Sense 3: Omission/exception is about leaving something out of a list or scope, not a social condition.
Sense 4: Forcing out (expulsion) is a specific action, whereas "social exclusion" is a broader state or condition.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context snippet:
"Key speakers at the social exclusion <t>conference</t> were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

Candidate Senses:

2. sense_key=conference%1:14:01:: | definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members | synonyms=league
3. sense_key=conference%1:10:00:: | definition=a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic | synonyms=group discussion

Analysis:
1. **Contextual clues:** The word "conference" is immediately preceded by "social exclusion" and followed by a list of high-ranking officials and representatives from various European bodies (European Commission, Committee of the Regions, European Parliament, etc.).
2. **Nature of the event:** The presence of "Key speakers" and representatives from governmental/institutional bodies strongly suggests a formal meeting or gathering for discussion and exchange of information.
3. **Evaluating senses:**
    * Sense 1: "a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)". This perfectly matches the context of a high-level meeting involving government and institutional representatives discussing a serious topic (social exclusion).
    * Sense 2: "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members". This is clearly incorrect, as the context is political/social, not sporting.
    * Sense 3: "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic". While a conference involves discussion, Sense 1 is more precise as it defines the *event* (the meeting/gathering) itself, which is what "conference" refers to here, and it includes the formality aspect implied by the list of speakers. Sense 1 is a more comprehensive definition of the type of event described.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Context snippet: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (<t>left</t> to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The phrase is "(left to right)". This structure typically indicates a sequence or arrangement, often spatial, but in the context of a list of speakers, it might also refer to a political spectrum or a physical arrangement on a stage/panel.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=left%1:15:00:** location near or direction toward the left side; i.e. the side to the north when a person or object faces east. (Spatial direction/location)
2. **sense_key=left%1:14:00:** those who support varying degrees of social or political or economic change designed to promote the public welfare. (Political/Ideological)
3. **sense_key=left%1:08:00:** the hand that is on the left side of the body. (Body part)
4. **sense_key=left%1:06:00:** the piece of ground in the outfield on the catcher's left. (Sports field location)
5. **sense_key=left%1:04:00:** a turn toward the side of the body that is on the north when the person is facing east. (Directional turn)

Evaluation:
*   **Sense 3 (Body part):** Unlikely. The context is listing speakers, not describing a physical action involving a hand.
*   **Sense 4 (Sports field):** Highly unlikely. No mention of sports.
*   **Sense 5 (Directional turn):** Unlikely. While "left to right" can imply movement, here it seems to be describing the arrangement of people (speakers).
*   **Sense 1 (Spatial direction/location):** Plausible. "Left to right" is a common spatial descriptor for arrangement (e.g., sitting arrangement on a panel).
*   **Sense 2 (Political/Ideological):** Plausible. "Left to right" is also a common descriptor for a political spectrum (e.g., ranging from left-wing to right-wing).

Which is better?
The context is a "social exclusion conference" and the speakers are from various political/governmental bodies (European Commission, Committee of the Regions, European Parliament). While the spatial arrangement (Sense 1) is possible, the phrase "left to right" when used in a formal, high-level conference setting, especially when discussing social issues and political bodies, often refers to the political spectrum (Sense 2).

However, the phrase is placed immediately before a list of names: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, ... Fernando Gomes, ... Barbara Weiler, ... José Maria Gil-Robles, ... John Carroll, ...". This structure strongly suggests that the list is ordered spatially (e.g., from the left side of the stage to the right side of the stage).

If the intent was political spectrum, the phrasing might be "ranging from left to right" or "representing the political left to the right." The parenthetical insertion "(left to right)" directly preceding the list of names most naturally functions as an ordering instruction for the list itself (spatial arrangement).

Let's re-examine the candidates based on the strongest interpretation:
If it means spatial arrangement (Sense 1), it fits the list structure perfectly.
If it means political spectrum (Sense 2), it is less idiomatic for introducing a list of individuals unless the list is explicitly ordered by political leaning, which is not stated.

Given the ambiguity, I must choose the *single best* fit. In the context of listing people on a panel, "left to right" overwhelmingly refers to the physical arrangement.

Therefore, Sense 1 (location near or direction toward the left side) is the most appropriate interpretation for ordering a line of speakers.

Wait, I need to check the provided sense definitions again.
Sense 1: location near or direction toward the left side; i.e. the side to the north when a person or object faces east. (This covers spatial direction/location).
Sense 2: those who support varying degrees of social or political or economic change designed to promote the public welfare. (Political ideology).

Since the list of speakers is presented sequentially, indicating their physical placement, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Final check: The phrase "(left to right)" is used to describe the order of the speakers listed. This is a spatial ordering.

I will select Sense 1.

The target word is "right" within the phrase "(left to <t>right</t>)".

1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase "(left to right)" describes the arrangement or order of the speakers listed immediately after. This is a spatial or directional description.
2.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   sense_key=right%1:07:00: Abstract idea of what is due (Rights). (Incorrect)
    *   sense_key=right%1:15:00: Location near or direction toward the right side. (Highly plausible - spatial direction)
    *   sense_key=right%1:06:00: Piece of ground in the outfield. (Incorrect - sports specific)
    *   sense_key=right%1:14:00: Political conservatism. (Incorrect)
    *   sense_key=right%1:08:00: The hand on the right side of the body. (Incorrect - body part)
    *   sense_key=right%1:04:00: A turn toward the side of the body (directional turn). (Plausible, but less specific than the general directional sense)

    *   sense_key=right%1:21:00: Interest possessed by law or custom. (Incorrect)
3.  **Select the best fit:** The phrase "left to right" refers to the spatial arrangement of people (speakers). Sense_key=right%1:15:00 ("location near or direction toward the right side") perfectly captures this directional/spatial meaning. Sense_key=right%1:04:00 is about making a turn, which is a specific action, whereas sense_key=right%1:15:00 is the general directional concept used in "left to right."

4.  **Final check:** The context is listing people arranged spatially, from left to right. Sense_key=right%1:15:00 is the best match.

Context snippet:
"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The target word "Employment" is used here as part of a title/designation: "Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission". This suggests it is a department, division, or specific area of focus within the Directorate.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=employment%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being employed or having a job | synonyms=employ**
   * This refers to the status of a person (being employed). In the context of a department name, this is less likely to be the primary meaning, although it relates to the field.

2. **sense_key=employment%1:04:00:: | definition=the occupation for which you are paid | synonyms=work**
   * This refers to a specific job/occupation. Again, less likely for a department name, unless it means "the field of paid work."

3. **sense_key=employment%1:04:02:: | definition=the act of giving someone a job | synonyms=engagement**
   * This refers to the action of hiring (employing). This could fit a department focused on hiring practices.

4. **sense_key=employment%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of using | synonyms=use, usage, utilization, utilisation, exercise**
   * This is clearly incorrect based on the context (it's not about usage).

Re-evaluating the context: "Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission".
The structure is: [Person's Name], [Title/Department/Area of Expertise], [Larger Organizational Unit].

The Directorate is "Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate". "Employment" is likely a specific division or focus area within that Directorate.

*   If it means "the state of being employed" (Sense 1), it refers to the subject matter (e.g., Employment Status).
*   If it means "the occupation for which you are paid" (Sense 2), it refers to the subject matter (e.g., Occupations).
*   If it means "the act of giving someone a job" (Sense 3), it refers to the function (e.g., Employment Services/Agency).

In the context of "Industrial Relations and Social Affairs," "Employment" most commonly refers to the field or system of work and labor relations. Both Sense 1 (state of being employed) and Sense 2 (occupation/work) relate to the subject matter.

However, when used as a formal title or department name (like "Employment Directorate"), it usually refers to the *field* or *system* of employment/labor.

Let's look closely at the definitions again:
Sense 1: the state of being employed or having a job. (Focus on the status/condition)
Sense 2: the occupation for which you are paid. (Focus on the specific job/role)

Since the Directorate is about "Industrial Relations and Social Affairs," the scope is broad, covering the entire system of work. Sense 1, "the state of being employed or having a job," captures the broadest scope of the subject matter (labor market, employment status, etc.), which is typical for a high-level governmental/commission department.

Sense 3 ("the act of giving someone a job") is too narrow (recruitment/hiring function).

Therefore, Sense 1, referring to the general state or condition of being employed, is the most appropriate interpretation for a departmental title within a Social Affairs Directorate.

Final check:
Context: Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate.
Sense 1: The state of being employed or having a job. (Fits the scope of a Directorate dealing with social affairs).

I will select Sense 1.

4. sense_key=industrial%5:00:00:heavy-duty:00 | definition=suitable to stand up to hard wear | examples=industrial carpeting

Analysis of the context:
The word "Industrial" is used in the phrase "Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission".
This phrase refers to a directorate/department within the European Commission.
"Industrial Relations" refers to the relationship between employers and employees, often concerning labor practices, wages, and working conditions, which is a core concept in labor economics and industrial organization.

Evaluation of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=industrial%3:01:00:: | definition=of or relating to or resulting from industry | examples=industrial output. This sense relates to the general concept of industry (manufacturing, production). "Industrial Relations" fits this definition well, as it relates to the structure and functioning of industrial/labor systems.
2. sense_key=industrial%3:00:00:: | definition=having highly developed industries | examples=the industrial revolution; an industrial nation. This refers to a state or nation being industrialized, which is too broad for a department name.
3. sense_key=industrial%5:00:00:blue-collar:00 | definition=employed in industry | examples=the industrial classes; industrial work. This focuses on the *people* working in industry (blue-collar workers). While related to labor, "Industrial Relations" is a field of study/governance, not just the workers themselves.
4. sense_key=industrial%5:00:00:heavy-duty:00 | definition=suitable to stand up to hard wear | examples=industrial carpeting. This is completely irrelevant (physical durability).

Conclusion:
The phrase "Industrial Relations" clearly refers to the relationship dynamics within the industrial/labor sphere. Sense 1, "of or relating to or resulting from industry," is the most accurate fit for this administrative/conceptual usage.

The best sense is 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "Commission" based on the provided context.

Context analysis:
The text mentions: "The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion..."
Later, it mentions: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European <t>Commission</t> Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The phrase "European Commission" refers to a specific governmental/supranational body (the European Union's executive branch).

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=commission%1:14:00:: | definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter; - Milton Berle | synonyms=committee | examples=a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours
2. sense_key=commission%1:21:00:: | definition=a fee for services rendered based on a percentage of an amount received or collected or agreed to be paid (as distinguished from a salary) | examples=he works on commission

9. sense_key=commission%1:04:00:: | definition=a special assignment that is given to a person or group | synonyms=mission, charge | examples=a confidential mission to London; his charge was deliver a message

Evaluation:
The context "European Commission" refers to an institutional body.
Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee". This fits the idea of an institutional body/committee.
Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates; synonyms=deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission". This also fits the idea of an institutional body composed of representatives.

In the context of international organizations (like the EU), "Commission" refers to the executive body, which functions as a large, permanent group of representatives/delegates tasked with specific functions.

Sense 1 (a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee) is a very strong fit for an institutional body like the European Commission.
Sense 5 (a group of representatives or delegates) is also a strong fit.

Let's compare 1 and 5.
Sense 1 emphasizes the function (to consider some matter) and uses "committee" as a synonym.
Sense 5 emphasizes the composition (group of representatives/delegates).

Since the European Commission is fundamentally an executive body composed of officials/representatives, both are plausible. However, Sense 1, using "committee" as a synonym, captures the institutional nature of the body best in this high-level governmental context.

Let's re-examine the candidates for the best fit for a large, permanent governmental/supranational body.
Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee". This is the most standard definition for an institutional body like the European Commission.

I will choose Sense 1.

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

Context snippet: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The phrase is "a high degree of Committee of the Regions".

1.  **Analyze the context:** "high degree of" is a common collocation. It refers to the level, extent, or amount of something.
2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   1. `high%3:00:02`: greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount. (Examples: a high temperature; a high price). This matches the structure "a high degree of X".
    *   2. `high%3:00:01`: elevation or upward extension. (Examples: a high mountain; high ceilings). This is spatial and does not fit "a high degree of".
    *   3. `high%5:00:00:superior:01`: standing above others in quality or position. (Synonyms: eminent). This relates to status/quality, but "high degree" usually refers to magnitude/intensity, not necessarily superiority in rank (though it could sometimes overlap).
    *   4. `high%3:00:03`: high in pitch or frequency. (Synonyms: high-pitched). This is auditory and irrelevant.
    *   5. `high%5:00:00:elated:00`: happy and excited and energetic. This is emotional and irrelevant.
    *   6. `high%5:00:00:malodorous:00`: smelling spoiled or tainted. This is olfactory and irrelevant.
    *   7. `high%5:00:00:intoxicated:00`: slightly and pleasantly intoxicated. This is related to state/feeling and irrelevant.

3.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1, defined as "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount," is the perfect fit for the collocation "a high degree of".

4.  **Format the output:** Return the JSON object with the correct sense index.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "Committee" based on the provided context.

Context snippet: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of <t>Committee</t> of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The target word is "Committee".

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=committee%1:14:00:: | definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter; - Milton Berle | synonyms=commission | examples=a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours
2. sense_key=committee%1:14:01:: | definition=a self-constituted organization to promote something | synonyms=citizens committee

Analysis of the context:
The context lists several speakers at a conference. The structure is: [Name], [Title/Affiliation].
The specific phrase containing the target word is: "a high degree of <t>Committee</t> of the Regions Barbara Weiler".
This structure strongly suggests that "Committee of the Regions" is part of Barbara Weiler's official title or affiliation, indicating a specific governing or representative body.

Let's evaluate the senses:
Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=commission". This aligns perfectly with the idea of a formal, delegated body (like a European Committee of the Regions).
Sense 2: "a self-constituted organization to promote something; synonyms=citizens committee". While this is a type of committee, the context (European Parliament, European Commission, etc.) points to a formal, institutional body, not necessarily a grassroots, self-constituted one.

Conclusion: Sense 1, defining a special group delegated to consider some matter, is the best fit for "Committee of the Regions" in this formal, governmental/institutional context.

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

Analysis:
The phrase "Member of the European Parliament" refers to a person who is part of the European Parliament.

*   Sense 1: "one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization)". This perfectly matches a person who is a member of a political body (European Parliament).
*   Sense 2: "anything that belongs to a set or class". This is too abstract and doesn't fit the context of a named speaker.
*   Sense 3: "an external body part". Clearly incorrect.
*   Sense 4: "an organization that is a member of another organization". This refers to an entity (like a country or library), not a person (José Maria Gil-Robles).
*   Sense 5: "the male organ of copulation". Clearly incorrect.

Sense 1 is the best fit.
