    *   **Sense 1:** "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something." (Fits the idea of anticipation, often associated with waiting for something specific.)
    *   **Sense 2:** "wait before acting." (Focuses on delaying action, not necessarily anticipation of a specific event.)
    *   **Sense 3:** "look forward to the probable occurrence of." (This is a strong match for "eagerly." Eagerness is the emotional state of looking forward to something.)
    *   **Sense 4:** "serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant." (Irrelevant to the context.)
4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something." (General waiting/anticipation.)

6. definition=low-lying alluvial land near a river
7. definition=a cargo ship | examples=they did much of their overseas trade in foreign bottoms

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Haney swished the liquor in the bottom of his glass."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "bottom".
3.  **Determine the meaning of "bottom" in this context:** The liquor is being swished *in* the glass. The "bottom" refers to the lowest part or base of the glass where the liquid rests.
4.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=the lower side of anything (Matches the concept of the base/lower part of a glass.)
    *   2. definition=the lowest part of anything | examples=they started at the bottom of the hill (Matches the concept of the lowest part, which is synonymous with the base of a glass.)
    *   3. definition=the fleshy part of the human body... (Irrelevant.)

    *   Sense 1: "the lower side of anything"
    *   Sense 2: "the lowest part of anything"
    *   Both are highly relevant. In the context of a glass, the "bottom" is the lowest part/lower side. Since both 1 and 2 capture this meaning, I must choose the most precise or common sense for this usage. "The lowest part of anything" (Sense 2) is a very standard definition for the base of an object. "The lower side of anything" (Sense 1) is also accurate.

6.  **Re-evaluate the relationship between 1 and 2:**
    *   If the glass is upright, the bottom is the lowest part.
    *   If the glass is tilted, the bottom is still the lowest part/side.
    *   Sense 2 ("the lowest part of anything") is the most precise description of the base of a container.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for the base of a glass. (Sense 1 is also plausible, but Sense 2 is slightly more specific to the concept of "bottom" as the lowest point.)

8.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't <t>backed</t> a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder..."
2.  **Identify the target word and context:** The word is "backed." The context is a political district ("Mississippi district") and the action is related to a candidate ("a Democratic presidential candidate"). The phrase is "hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "backed" in this context:** In politics, when a district "backs" a candidate, it means the district supports or approves of that candidate.
4.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=be behind; approve of | examples=He plumped for the Labor Party (Matches the idea of approval/support.)
    *   2. definition=travel backward | examples=back into the driveway (Incorrect.)

    *   10. definition=strengthen by providing with a back or backing (Incorrect.)
5.  **Compare the best matches (1 and 3):**
    *   Sense 1: "be behind; approve of"
    *   Sense 3: "give support or one's approval to"
    *   Both 1 and 3 accurately describe the political action of a district supporting a candidate. Sense 3 ("give support or one's approval to") is the most direct and comprehensive definition for political endorsement. Sense 1 ("be behind; approve of") is also very close. Since both are strong candidates, I must choose the one that best fits the nuance of a district *endorsing* a candidate. Sense 3 is the standard definition for political endorsement.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3. (Although Sense 1 is also plausible, Sense 3 is the clearest fit for the action of a political entity supporting a candidate.)

        *   *Fit:* "Federal level" often means the national level (U.S. government). This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=of or relating to the central government of a federation | examples=a federal district is one set aside as the seat of the national government.
        *   *Fit:* This is the most precise definition for "federal level" in a political science context. It refers to the structure of the central government (the federation). This is also a very strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=being of or having to do with the northern United States and those loyal to the Union during the American Civil War | examples=Union soldiers.
        *   *Fit:* No. The context is modern American politics, not the Civil War.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=characterized by or constituting a form of government in which power is divided between one central and several regional authorities | examples=a federal system like that of the United States.
        *   *Fit:* This defines the *system* (federalism). While the sentence is *about* a system, the phrase "at the federal level" refers to the *scope* of the government (the central government), not the definition of the system itself.

5.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *national* scope (e.g., FBI, national elections).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *structure* of the central government within a federation (the core meaning of "federal" in political science).

    In the phrase "at the federal level," the speaker is contrasting the local/state level (Mississippi district) with the level of government that manages the entire nation (the central/federal government). This aligns perfectly with the concept of the central government of a federation (Sense 2). While Sense 1 (national) is often used interchangeably in casual speech, Sense 2 captures the specific political meaning of the term when discussing the division of power and governmental structure.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate and precise fit for "at the federal level" in this political context. (It refers to the central government of the federation.)

6.  **Final check:** Does "at the federal level" mean a specific position in the continuum of governance? Yes. (Local level, state level, federal level).

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the correct choice.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "popular" (marked with `<t>popular</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party <t>popular</t> vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

3.  **Focus on the target phrase:** "major - party popular vote for president."

4.  **Examine the context of "popular vote":**
    *   The sentence is discussing elections and voting percentages.
    *   "Popular vote" in this context refers to the total number of votes cast for a candidate or party, as opposed to the number of seats won (congressional seats).
    *   The phrase "major-party popular vote" refers to the votes cast for the major parties.

5.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public | examples=a popular tourist attraction. (Does "popular vote" mean the votes cast by people who like the party? Not necessarily; it means the total count.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large | examples=the popular vote. (This sense directly relates to the concept of voting *by* the people or *for* the people, and the example provided, "the popular vote," matches the context perfectly.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large | examples=democratic art forms. (This relates to suitability or appeal, not the mechanism of counting votes.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=(of music or art) new and of general appeal (especially among young people). (Irrelevant to political voting.)

6.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "popular vote" in the context of elections refers to the votes cast by the citizenry, aligning perfectly with Sense 2.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 2.
