1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Put more simply, GOP candidates for president are looked on more kindly by voters than Republican candidates for the Senate when the prisoner's sentence is more severe."
2.  **Identify the target word:** The word is "Put" (the first word).

4.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. put into a certain place or abstract location (Physical placement) - *No.*
    *   2. cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation (Causation/State change) - *Possible, but usually implies an action causing a state.*

Which numbered sense of "president" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Put more simply, GOP candidates for <t>president</t> are looked on more kindly by voters than Republican candidates for the Senate when the prisoner's sentence is more severe.

Senses:
1. definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation
2. definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | examples=the President likes to jog every morning
3. definition=the chief executive of a republic
4. definition=the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson
5. definition=the head administrative officer of a college or university
6. definition=the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "president" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Put more simply, GOP candidates for <t>president</t> are looked on more kindly by voters than Republican candidates for the Senate when the prisoner's sentence is more severe."

3.  **Determine the context of "president":** The sentence discusses "GOP candidates" and "Republican candidates for the Senate." This places the word "president" in the context of political elections and high office within the U.S. government.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. an executive officer of a firm or corporation (Incorrect - not about business)
    *   2. the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | examples=the President likes to jog every morning (Highly relevant - refers to the U.S. political office.)
    *   3. the chief executive of a republic (Relevant, but perhaps too general compared to the specific U.S. context provided by the other senses/examples.)
    *   4. the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson (Incorrect - refers to meeting chair, not head of state.)
    *   5. the head administrative officer of a college or university (Incorrect - refers to academic administration.)
    *   6. the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years (Highly relevant - refers to the office itself.)

5.  **Compare Senses 2 and 6:**
    *   Sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government" (Focuses on the *person*.)
    *   Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state" (Focuses on the *office*.)

6.  **Re-examine the usage in the sentence:** "GOP candidates for president." The candidates are running *for* the office. While "president" can refer to the office (Sense 6), it is also commonly used as a shorthand for the person who holds that office (Sense 2).

7.  **Check the provided examples/definitions for the best fit:**
    *   Sense 2's definition is "the person who holds the office..."
    *   Sense 6's definition is "the office..."

    In common political discourse ("candidates for president"), the term refers to the role/office, but Sense 2 is often the primary definition used when discussing the individual who fills that role. However, Sense 6 is also extremely accurate as it defines the *office* itself.

    Let's look closely at the provided options again. Often, when a word can refer to the person or the office, the sense that captures the most specific context (U.S. government) is preferred.

    *   Sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
    *   Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"

    Since the candidates are running *for* the position, both senses are technically applicable. However, Sense 2 is a very common dictionary definition for the political role, and Sense 6 is also very strong. Given the options, Sense 2 is the most direct definition of the role being sought by the candidates.

8.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 accurately describes the political role the candidates are vying for. (Sense 6 is also very close, but Sense 2 is a standard definition for the individual holding the office.) I will select 2.

Which numbered sense of "severe" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

4. definition=unsparing and uncompromising in discipline or judgment; - H.G.Wells | examples=a parent severe to the pitch of hostility
5. definition=causing fear or anxiety by threatening great harm | examples=a dangerous operation
6. definition=very bad in degree or extent | examples=a severe worldwide depression

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Put more simply, GOP candidates for president are looked on more kindly by voters than Republican candidates for the Senate when the prisoner's sentence is more <t>severe</t>."
2.  **Identify the target word and context:** The word is "severe," and it modifies "sentence."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "severe" in this context:** A "sentence" (in a legal context) refers to the punishment handed down by a court. If the sentence is "severe," it means the punishment is harsh, long, or intense.
4.  **Evaluate the provided senses against the determined meaning:**

    *   1. definition=intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality | examples=severe pain. (Fits the idea of a harsh/unpleasant punishment.)
    *   2. definition=very strong or vigorous | examples=strong winds. (Doesn't fit a punishment.)
    *   3. definition=severely simple | examples=a stark interior. (Irrelevant.)
    *   4. definition=unsparing and uncompromising in discipline or judgment; - H.G.Wells | examples=a parent severe to the pitch of hostility. (This relates to the *dispenser* of the sentence, not the sentence itself, though it is related to harshness.)
    *   5. definition=causing fear or anxiety by threatening great harm | examples=a dangerous operation. (This describes the *threat* or *situation*, not the final punishment.)
    *   6. definition=very bad in degree or extent | examples=a severe worldwide depression. (This is a general measure of badness/intensity, which applies well to a punishment.)

5.  **Compare Senses 1 and 6:**
    *   Sense 1: "intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality" (e.g., severe pain). A severe sentence is intensely bad/unpleasant.
    *   Sense 6: "very bad in degree or extent" (e.g., severe depression). A severe sentence is very bad in extent (length/harshness).

6.  **Select the best fit:** Both 1 and 6 are very close. However, "severe sentence" most directly implies a high degree of unpleasantness or harshness. Sense 1 ("intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality") captures the nature of the punishment (it is unpleasant and extreme). Sense 6 is also accurate, but Sense 1 is perhaps the most precise description of the quality of the punishment itself.

7.  **Final check:** A severe sentence is one that is intensely bad/unpleasant. This matches Sense 1. (Also, Sense 6 is a strong candidate, but Sense 1 is often the primary definition used for physical/emotional/legal intensity.)

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit.

3. definition=equal in amount or value | examples=like amounts
4. definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the <t>same</t> peculiar pattern at the state government level as it does at the federal level."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "same".
3.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is comparing the "peculiar pattern" of ticket splitting between two different levels of government (state and federal). The pattern is described as being the "same" at both levels.
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (identity):** "the same man I saw yesterday." This implies absolute identity (A = B). Here, the patterns are similar, but they are not necessarily identical in every single detail; they are comparable.
    *   **Sense 2 (closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree):** "curtains the same color as the walls." This implies similarity or correspondence in a specific attribute (color). The pattern at the state level is *similar* to the pattern at the federal level. This fits the context of comparison.
    *   **Sense 3 (equal in amount or value):** "like amounts." This is about numerical equality. While patterns can have equal amounts, the core meaning here is about the *nature* of the pattern being comparable, not just the quantity.
    *   **Sense 4 (unchanged in character or nature):** "the village stayed the same." This implies stasis or lack of change over time. The sentence is making a comparison between two existing states (state level vs. federal level), not describing a change.
5.  **Determine the best fit:** The sentence uses "same" to indicate that the pattern observed in one context (state) is comparable or similar to the pattern observed in another context (federal). This aligns perfectly with Sense 2.

6.  **Final check:** "The pattern is similar (Sense 2) at the state level as it is at the federal level." (This is the intended meaning.)

Which numbered sense of "level" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the same peculiar pattern at the state government <t>level</t> as it does at the federal level.

Senses:
1. definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence
2. definition=a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | examples=lumber of the highest grade
3. definition=a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process | examples=a remarkable degree of frankness
4. definition=height above ground | examples=the water reached ankle level
5. definition=indicator that establishes the horizontal when a bubble is centered in a tube of liquid
6. definition=a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line | examples=park the car on the level
7. definition=an abstract place usually conceived as having depth | examples=a good actor communicates on several levels
8. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | examples=what level is the office on?

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the same peculiar pattern at the state government <t>level</t> as it does at the federal level."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "level" (in the context of government/jurisdiction).
3.  **Determine the meaning of "level" in this context:** The sentence is comparing two different administrative or governmental tiers: "state government" and "federal." These are distinct, hierarchical positions within a system of governance.
4.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. intensity/amount/quality (e.g., moderate grade of intelligence) -> *No.*
    *   2. relative position/degree of value in a graded group (e.g., lumber of the highest grade) -> *Possible, but usually refers to quality/ranking.*
    *   3. specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process (e.g., a remarkable degree of frankness) -> *This relates to a specific point in a progression or hierarchy.*
    *   4. height above ground (e.g., ankle level) -> *No.*
    *   5. indicator (e.g., bubble in a tube) -> *No.*
    *   6. flat surface (e.g., park the car on the level) -> *No.*
    *   7. abstract place with depth (e.g., communicates on several levels) -> *No.*
    *   8. structure/room (e.g., what level is the office on?) -> *No.*
5.  **Match the meaning to the best sense:** The comparison between "state government level" and "federal level" refers to distinct, recognized tiers or ranks within the political structure.
    *   Sense 3 ("a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process") fits well. The continuum here is the hierarchy of government (local -> state -> federal). State and federal are specific, identifiable positions in that series.
    *   Sense 2 ("a relative position or degree of value in a graded group") is also close, but Sense 3 emphasizes the *position* within the structure/series, which is more accurate for governmental tiers.

6.  **Final check:** When discussing government levels (state, federal, local), we are referring to specific, defined positions in a hierarchy or series. This aligns best with Sense 3. (Although sometimes Sense 2 is used for ranking, Sense 3 captures the structural nature of governmental tiers better.)

7.  **Select the number:** 3.

Which numbered sense of "federal" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the same peculiar pattern at the state government level as it does at the <t>federal</t> level.

Senses:
1. definition=national; especially in reference to the government of the United States as distinct from that of its member units | examples=the Federal Bureau of Investigation
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
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
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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "federal" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the same peculiar pattern at the state government level as it does at the <t>federal</t> level."

3.  **Determine the context of "federal":** The sentence is comparing patterns observed at the "state government level" with patterns observed at the "federal level." This refers to the level of government (the national government of the US).

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=national; especially in reference to the government of the United States as distinct from that of its member units | examples=the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (This is a strong candidate, focusing on the US government.)
    *   **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. (This specifically addresses the *structure* of the central government within a federation, which is exactly what the US system is.)
    *   **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. (This is historical/geographical and irrelevant to government levels.)
    *   **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. (This describes the *system* itself, not the level of government being referenced in the comparison.)

5.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 2, and 4):**

    *   The sentence is comparing "state government level" (regional/member unit) to "federal level" (the central authority).
    *   Sense 2 ("of or relating to the central government of a federation") perfectly captures the idea of the central authority (the federal government) in contrast to the regional authorities (the state governments).
    *   Sense 1 ("national; especially in reference to the government of the United States...") is also correct, but Sense 2 is more precise in describing the *relationship* (central vs. regional) implied by the comparison to "state government level."
    *   Sense 4 describes the *system* (federalism), while the sentence is referring to the *level* (the federal government).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "federal level" when contrasted with "state government level."

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the same peculiar pattern at the state government level as it does at the federal level."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "level" (marked with <t>).
3.  **Determine the context:** The sentence compares two administrative/political entities: "state government" and "federal government." The word "level" is modifying or describing the scope/jurisdiction of these governments.
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. Intensity/amount/quality (e.g., moderate grade of intelligence). (No, it's not about intensity.)
    *   2. Relative position/degree of value in a graded group (e.g., lumber of the highest grade). (Possible, but usually refers to quality ranking, not governmental scope.)
    *   3. Specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process (e.g., a remarkable degree of frankness). (This relates to a specific point in a progression or hierarchy.)
    *   4. Height above ground (e.g., ankle level). (No, this is physical height.)
    *   5. Indicator (e.g., bubble centered in a tube). (No, this is a physical tool.)
    *   6. Flat surface (e.g., park the car on the level). (No, this is a physical surface.)
    *   7. Abstract place usually conceived as having depth (e.g., communicates on several levels). (This relates to abstract layers or depths, like emotional or conceptual layers. While "government level" is abstract, this sense usually implies depth of meaning or complexity.)
    *   8. Structure (e.g., what level is the office on?). (No, this is a physical floor.)
5.  **Refine the choice (Focus on hierarchy/scope):** When discussing "state level" vs. "federal level," the word "level" refers to the rank, jurisdiction, or tier within a system of governance.
    *   Sense 3 ("a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process") fits the idea of a specific tier or rank within the continuum of government structure (State < Federal).
    *   Sense 7 ("an abstract place usually conceived as having depth") is sometimes used for abstract systems, but Sense 3 is a much tighter fit for describing a specific *rank* or *tier* in a hierarchy.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage refers to the hierarchical rank or tier of government. Sense 3 captures this idea of a specific position within a series or continuum (the continuum of governmental authority).

Which numbered sense of "other" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding <t>other</t> factors constant, the difference between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate.

Senses:
1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day
2. definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding <t>other</t> factors constant, the difference between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "other":** The phrase is "holding other factors constant."
    *   "Factors" refers to variables or elements in the econometric model.
    *   "Holding X constant" means controlling for X.
    *   "Other factors" means factors *besides* the ones currently being analyzed or focused on (i.e., the state tax rate, the vote difference, etc.).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day.
        *   *Application:* "Other factors" means factors that are *not* the specific factors being controlled for or discussed in the immediate context. This matches the meaning of "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." (e.g., factors other than the tax rate).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=recently past | examples=the other evening.
        *   *Application:* Does not fit. "Factors" are not time periods.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe.
        *   *Application:* Does not fit.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail.
        *   *Application:* Does not fit. "Other factors" here is not implying strangeness or uniqueness, but rather inclusion/exclusion from a set.

5.  **Conclusion:** The usage "holding other factors constant" clearly aligns with Sense 1 (not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied).

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

Which numbered sense of "factor" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding other <t>factors</t> constant, the difference between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate.

Senses:
1. definition=anything that contributes causally to a result | examples=a number of factors determined the outcome
2. definition=an abstract part of something | examples=jealousy was a component of his character
3. definition=one of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another integer | examples=what are the 4 factors of 6?
4. definition=a businessman who buys or sells for another in exchange for a commission
5. definition=any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together
6. definition=an independent variable in statistics
7. definition=(genetics) a segment of DNA that is involved in producing a polypeptide chain; it can include regions preceding and following the coding DNA as well as introns between the exons; it is considered a unit of heredity | examples=genes were formerly called factors

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding other <t>factors</t> constant, the difference between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate."
2.  **Identify the context of "factors":** The sentence is discussing an "econometric investigation" and a "positive function of the state tax rate." The phrase "holding other factors constant" is a standard phrase in statistical and econometric modeling.
3.  **Determine the meaning of "factors" in this context:** In statistics, when you "hold factors constant," you are referring to variables that are being controlled or treated as fixed while observing the relationship between the independent variable (state tax rate) and the dependent variable (the difference in vote shares).
4.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. anything that contributes causally to a result (General cause)
    *   2. an abstract part of something (Component)
    *   3. one of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another integer (Math/Number theory)
    *   4. a businessman who buys or sells for another in exchange for a commission (Broker)

Which numbered sense of "difference" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding other factors constant, the <t>difference</t> between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate.

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of being unlike or dissimilar | examples=there are many differences between jazz and rock
2. definition=a variation that deviates from the standard or norm | examples=the deviation from the mean
3. definition=a disagreement or argument about something important | examples=he had a dispute with his wife
4. definition=a significant change | examples=the difference in her is amazing
5. definition=the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding other factors constant, the <t>difference</t> between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate."

2.  **Identify the context of "difference":** The sentence is discussing an econometric investigation. It compares two specific numerical/proportional values:
    *   Value A: "a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate"
    *   Value B: "the Republican share of the lower state house"
    *   The "difference" is calculated *between* these two values (A - B or B - A).

3.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** "the quality of being unlike or dissimilar" (e.g., jazz vs. rock). This is too general and qualitative for a precise statistical comparison.
    *   **Sense 2:** "a variation that deviates from the standard or norm" (e.g., deviation from the mean). While related to variation, the sentence is specifically calculating the *gap* between two defined quantities, not measuring how far one quantity is from a pre-established norm.
    *   **Sense 3:** "a disagreement or argument about something important" (e.g., dispute). This is clearly incorrect; the context is mathematical/statistical.
    *   **Sense 4:** "a significant change" (e.g., the difference in her is amazing). This implies a qualitative assessment of magnitude, but the sentence treats the difference as a quantifiable variable ("is a positive function of the state tax rate").
    *   **Sense 5:** "the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend." This is the precise mathematical definition of the result of subtraction (Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference).

4.  **Match the context to the sense:** Since the sentence describes the result of subtracting one measured value (Republican gubernatorial vote) from another measured value (Republican share of the lower state house), Sense 5 is the correct fit.

5.  **Final check:** The phrase "the difference between X and Y" in a statistical context almost always refers to the numerical result of X - Y. This matches Sense 5.

6.  **Formulate the output:** Return only the number 5.

2.  **Identify the target word and context:** The target word is "state." The context is "cross-state investigation," "state's major - party vote," "lower state house," and "state tax rate."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "state" in this context:** The word refers to a specific administrative division within a larger nation (likely the US, given the mention of gubernatorial candidates and state houses).

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation | examples=his state is in the deep south
    *   2. definition=the way something is with respect to its main attributes | examples=the current state of knowledge (Incorrect - refers to condition/status)
    *   3. definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state | examples=the state has lowered its income tax (Possible, but usually refers to the governing body, not the territory/entity itself in this context)
    *   4. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president (Refers to the political entity/nation-state, but Sense 1 is more specific to the *administrative district* context.)
    *   5. definition=(chemistry) the three traditional states of matter... (Incorrect - chemistry)
    *   6. definition=a state of depression or agitation | examples=he was in such a state... (Incorrect - emotional condition)
    *   7. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth (Refers to the entire nation, not a sub-division.)
    *   8. definition=the federal department in the United States... (Incorrect - Department of State)

5.  **Match the meaning to the best sense:** The context clearly refers to a sub-national administrative unit (e.g., Texas, California). Sense 1, "the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation," perfectly matches this meaning.

6.  **Final check:** "A cross-state investigation" means an investigation spanning multiple administrative districts (states). This confirms Sense 1.

    *   1. definition=of greater importance or stature or rank | examples=a major artist. (Fits the idea of importance/dominance.)
    *   2. definition=greater in scope or effect | examples=a major contribution. (Less fitting; it's about dominance, not just scope.)
    *   3. definition=greater in number or size or amount | examples=a major portion (a majority) of the population. (Could be related, but "major" here implies dominance/status, not just sheer quantity.)
    *   4. definition=of the field of academic study in which one concentrates or specializes | examples=his major field was mathematics. (Irrelevant.)
    *   5. definition=of a scale or mode | examples=major scales. (Irrelevant.)

2.  **Identify the target word and context:** The target word is "vote." The context is "a state's major-party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "vote" in this context:**
    *   The sentence is discussing political outcomes and election results (gubernatorial candidate, state house, party affiliation).
    *   "A state's major-party vote going to [Candidate X]" refers to the *preference* or *support* given by the majority of the party's members/voters for that specific candidate. It is not just the raw count of ballots (though that is the mechanism), but the collective opinion or preference expressed by the party base.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative | examples=there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion** (Focuses on the *count* of individual choices/ballots.)

5.  **Match the context to the best sense:**
    *   The phrase "major-party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate" refers to the *support* or *preference* of the major party.
    *   Sense 2 ("the opinion of a group as determined by voting") fits this meaning best. The "vote" here represents the collective preference of the major party.
    *   Sense 4 ("a body of voters who have the same interests") is close, but Sense 2 captures the *result* (the opinion/preference) which is what the econometric investigation is measuring, rather than just defining the group itself.

6.  **Final check:** The sentence is analyzing the *preference* (the vote/opinion) of the major party. Sense 2 is the most accurate fit.
