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

2.  **Analyze the context of "decisions":** The word "decisions" is modified by "strategic" and relates to "taking advantages allowed by the rules" within the context of "sporting spirit."
3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (the act of making up your mind):** This refers to the *process* (e.g., "the burden of decision"). The sentence refers to the *results* or *judgments* made (the strategic choices themselves).
    *   **Sense 2 (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration):** This fits perfectly. Strategic decisions are judgments or choices made after considering the rules and the game situation (e.g., "a decision unfavorable to the opposition").
    *   **Sense 3 (boxing victory):** Irrelevant. The context is general sporting strategy, not boxing scoring.
    *   **Sense 4 (outcome of a game):** While a decision can be an outcome (like a referee's final call), here, "decisions" refers to the *strategic choices* that lead to the outcome, not the outcome itself.
    *   **Sense 5 (trait of resoluteness):** This is a noun referring to a quality (e.g., "decisiveness"). The sentence uses "decisions" (plural, referring to specific choices).

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

Sentence: Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

Senses:
1. definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn | examples=on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play
2. definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted | examples=any society is built upon certain assumptions
3. definition=the act of taking possession of or power over something | examples=his assumption of office coincided with the trouble in Cuba
4. definition=celebration in the Roman Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary's being taken up into heaven when her earthly life ended; corresponds to the Dormition in the Eastern Orthodox Church
5. definition=(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul of the Virgin Mary when her earthly life had ended
6. definition=audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to | examples=he despised them for their presumptuousness
7. definition=the act of assuming or taking for granted | examples=your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

2.  **Determine the context of "assumption":** The sentence discusses a situation involving players, sanctions, and legal fraud. The "assumption" being referred to must be a premise, a condition, or a belief that was taken for granted or established in the legal/sporting context.

3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **1. definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn | examples=on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play.** (This fits the idea of a premise or a foundational belief in a legal/logical context.)
    *   **2. definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted | examples=any society is built upon certain assumptions.** (This is very close to Sense 1, focusing on the general idea of a taken-for-granted premise.)
    *   **3. definition=the act of taking possession of or power over something | examples=his assumption of office coincided with the trouble in Cuba.** (Incorrect. This is about taking control.)
    *   **4. definition=celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...** (Incorrect. Religious term.)
    *   **5. definition=(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul...** (Incorrect. Religious term.)
    *   **6. definition=audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to | examples=he despised them for their presumptuousness.** (Incorrect. This is an adjective/noun referring to arrogance, not a premise.)
    *   **7. definition=the act of assuming or taking for granted | examples=your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted.** (This is the *act* of assuming, which is a strong candidate, but Sense 1 and 2 refer to the *thing* that is assumed.)

4.  **Refine the choice between 1, 2, and 7:**

    *   The sentence refers to "this assumption" (a noun phrase).
    *   If the assumption is a *premise* (Sense 1 or 2), the players were operating under a certain premise (e.g., "The assumption is that the sanction applies automatically").
    *   If the assumption is the *act* (Sense 7), the sentence would imply the players were questioning the act of assuming, which is less likely in this legal context.

    *   Sense 1: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn." This perfectly describes a legal or logical premise.
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted." This is also accurate, but Sense 1 is more specific to the structure of legal/logical reasoning (statement -> conclusion).

5.  **Conclusion:** The context (sanctions, legal fraud) strongly suggests that the "assumption" is a foundational premise or statement of fact that was taken as true. Sense 1 provides the most precise definition for a premise used in drawing conclusions.

3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. a person who participates in or is skilled at some game (e.g., chess players, sports players). *Possible, but the context is legal strategy, not necessarily a game.*
    *   2. someone who plays a musical instrument. *Irrelevant.*
    *   3. a theatrical performer. *Irrelevant.*
    *   4. a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously. *Irrelevant.*

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

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the <t>application</t> of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

3.  **Analyze the context of "application":**
    *   "the application of the sanction"
    *   A "sanction" is a penalty or punishment.
    *   "Application of a sanction" means putting the penalty into effect or enforcing it.

4.  **Evaluate the senses against the context:**

    *   1. definition=the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose | examples=he advocated the application of statistics to the problem. (Matches: Applying a sanction means bringing the penalty to bear.)
    *   2. definition=a verbal or written request for assistance or employment or admission to a school | (No match: Sanctions are not requests.)
    *   3. definition=the work of applying something | (Possible, but Sense 1 is more precise for the *act* of enforcement.)
    *   4. definition=a program that gives a computer instructions... | (No match: Legal context.)
    *   5. definition=liquid preparation having a soothing or antiseptic or medicinal action... | (No match: Legal context.)
    *   6. definition=a diligent effort | (No match: Sanctions are not efforts.)
    *   7. definition=the action of putting something into operation | (Matches: Enforcing a sanction is putting the rule/penalty into operation.)

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 7:**
    *   Sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose" (e.g., application of statistics).
    *   Sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation" (e.g., application of maximum thrust).
    *   Both are very close. However, Sense 1 ("bringing something to bear") is the standard, broad definition used when discussing the enforcement or implementation of rules, laws, or penalties (like "application of the law" or "application of the sanction"). Sense 7 is also correct, but Sense 1 is the most common and encompassing definition for this specific legal/enforcement context.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the best fit for "the application of the sanction."

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

    *   **Sense 4:** "the outcome of a game or contest." (Irrelevant context.)
    *   **Sense 5:** "the trait of resoluteness..." (This is the noun form referring to the *quality* of being decisive, e.g., "He has great decisiveness." The sentence uses "a strategic decision," which is an event/judgment, not a trait.)
4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 2 ("a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration") is the most accurate fit for "a strategic decision."
5.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.

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

Sentence: Although the border between the wittiness and the <t>law</t> fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness.

Senses:
1. definition=the collection of rules imposed by authority | examples=civilization presupposes respect for the law
2. definition=legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity | examples=there is a law against kidnapping
3. definition=a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society
4. definition=a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature | examples=the laws of thermodynamics
5. definition=the branch of philosophy concerned with the law and the principles that lead courts to make the decisions they do
6. definition=the learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system | examples=he studied law at Yale
7. definition=the force of policemen and officers | examples=the law came looking for him

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Although the border between the wittiness and the <t>law</t> fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
2.  **Identify the context of "law":** "law fraud."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "law fraud":** This phrase refers to a type of fraud that specifically violates or exploits legal rules, statutes, or established legal principles.
4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. collection of rules imposed by authority (General legal rules/system).
    *   2. legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity (Specific statute/act).
    *   3. rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature (Moral/natural law).
    *   4. generalization describing recurring facts (Scientific law).
    *   5. branch of philosophy concerned with law (Jurisprudence).
    *   6. learned profession (Legal profession).
    *   7. force of policemen and officers (Enforcement power).
5.  **Match the context ("law fraud") to the senses:**
    *   Fraud is inherently a violation of established rules and laws.
    *   "Law fraud" most closely refers to the violation of established legal rules or statutes.
    *   Sense 1 ("the collection of rules imposed by authority") fits the concept of legal rules that are violated in fraud.
    *   Sense 2 ("legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity") is also possible, as fraud often violates specific statutes, but Sense 1 is broader and better captures the concept of the *system* of rules being violated.
    *   Sense 3 (Natural law) is too philosophical and abstract for the common term "law fraud."
    *   Sense 4, 5, 6, and 7 are clearly incorrect.
6.  **Refine the choice between 1 and 2:** When discussing "law fraud," we are referring to the violation of the body of rules (the legal system) that defines what constitutes fraud. Sense 1, "the collection of rules imposed by authority," is the most encompassing and accurate definition for the legal framework being violated.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Sentence: Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness.

Senses:
1. definition=intentional deception resulting in injury to another person
2. definition=a person who makes deceitful pretenses
3. definition=something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "fraud":**
    *   "The border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse."
    *   The sentence is discussing the relationship between "wittiness" (cleverness, humor, clever speech) and "the law."
    *   "Fraud" here is being used as a concept or category that exists on the border with wittiness, implying that wittiness *can* cross into the realm of illegal deception.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=intentional deception resulting in injury to another person (Focuses on the *result* and *injury*).
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a person who makes deceitful pretenses (Focuses on the *person*).
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage (Focuses on the *act* or *thing* of deception/trickery).

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence is discussing the *nature* of the boundary between cleverness and illegal acts. It is referring to the *act* or *concept* of deception that crosses the line.
    *   Sense 1 is too specific (requires injury). While fraud often involves injury, the sentence is discussing the *type* of act, not the legal outcome.
    *   Sense 2 is incorrect (it refers to a person).
    *   Sense 3 ("something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage") perfectly captures the idea of a deceptive *act* or *concept* that is being compared to wittiness.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the correct fit.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 3.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this <t>occasion</t> I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "occasion" in context:** The phrase "in this occasion" refers to the specific instance or event being discussed (the situation where the wittiness/fraud border is being judged). It refers to the specific time or instance of the event.
3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. an event that occurs at a critical time (Focuses on criticality/timing, but often implies a specific *type* of event.)
    *   2. a vaguely specified social event (Incorrect. This is a specific instance of judgment.)
    *   3. reason (Incorrect. "Occasion" here is not a cause.)
    *   4. the time of a particular event (Matches the context perfectly. It refers to the specific instance/time when the judgment is being made.)
    *   5. an opportunity to do something (Incorrect. It's not about a chance to act, but about the event itself.)
4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 4 ("the time of a particular event") is the most accurate fit for "in this occasion."
5.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.

Senses:
1. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
2. definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded

20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear <t>case</t> of wittiness."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "case".
3.  **Analyze the context:** The word "case" follows "a clear" and is modified by "of wittiness." "Wittiness" is a quality, a characteristic, or a type of occurrence. The sentence is arguing that a specific instance (an occurrence) demonstrated wittiness.
4.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
    *   2. definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded
    *   3. definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...
    *   4. definition=the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case
    *   5. definition=a portable container...
    *   6. definition=a person requiring professional services
    *   7. definition=a person who is subjected to experimental...
    *   8. definition=a problem requiring investigation
    *   9. definition=a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument
    *   10. definition=the quantity contained in a case
    *   ... (and so on, focusing on the most likely candidates)
5.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   The phrase "a clear case of wittiness" means "a clear instance/example of wittiness."
    *   Sense 1: "an occurrence of something." This perfectly matches the meaning of "an instance/example of wittiness."
    *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances." While related, "occurrence" (Sense 1) is a more direct fit for describing a quality like "wittiness."
    *   Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation." This is too specific (legal/mystery context) and doesn't fit "wittiness."
    *   Sense 9: "a statement of facts and reasons..." This refers to a legal argument, not an instance of a quality.
6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit.

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

Sentence: The controversy seems to arise from two <t>factors</t>: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them.

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:** "The controversy seems to arise from two <t>factors</t>: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "factors" in context:** The sentence is explaining the *reasons* or *causes* of a controversy. The two listed items (auto expulsions and the manner of directive transmission) are contributing elements to the controversy.
3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=anything that contributes causally to a result | examples=a number of factors determined the outcome. (Matches the idea of causes/reasons.)
    *   2. definition=an abstract part of something | examples=jealousy was a component of his character. (Possible, but less precise than 'causal contributor' here.)
    *   3. definition=one of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another integer | examples=what are the 4 factors of 6? (Mathematical, incorrect.)
    *   4. definition=a businessman who buys or sells for another in exchange for a commission. (Incorrect - this is a broker/agent.)
    *   5. definition=any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together. (Mathematical, incorrect.)
    *   6. definition=an independent variable in statistics. (A specific type of causal contributor, but Sense 1 is broader and fits the general usage better.)
    *   7. definition=(genetics) a segment of DNA... (Biological, incorrect.)
4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("anything that contributes causally to a result") perfectly describes the role of the expulsions and the transmission method in causing the controversy.
5.  **Final Answer Formulation:** Return only the number.

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

Sentence: The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto <t>expulsions</t> and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police
2. definition=squeezing out by applying pressure | examples=an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube
3. definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

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

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto <t>expulsions</t> and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

3.  **Analyze the context of "expulsions":**
    *   The context is "auto expulsions."
    *   "Auto" likely refers to automobiles or perhaps automated systems, but given the common usage in news/controversy, it likely refers to people being removed from a situation (e.g., a car race, a meeting, a group).
    *   "Expulsion" in this context means being forced out or removed.

4.  **Analyze the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police. (Focuses on people/things being forced out.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=squeezing out by applying pressure | examples=an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube. (Focuses on physical extrusion/pressure.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting. (This is a broad definition, encompassing both physical projection and removal/ejection.)

5.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   "Auto expulsions" (in a controversy context) refers to people being removed or kicked out.
    *   This matches the meaning of Sense 1 (ejection of troublemakers).
    *   Sense 3 is also technically correct (it is a form of ejecting), but Sense 1 is the most specific and accurate fit for the social/behavioral context implied by "controversy" and "expulsions."

6.  **Determine the best fit:** Since "expulsion" in this context means removal of individuals (e.g., from a team, a meeting, a vehicle), Sense 1 is the most precise match.

7.  **Final check:** The sentence refers to "two auto expulsions." This strongly suggests two instances of people being forced out. Sense 1 fits this perfectly.

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

12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:** The word is "way" in the sentence: "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the <t>way</t> the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

2.  **Examine the phrase containing "way":** "the way the transmission of the directive was carried out."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "way" in this context:** The phrase refers to the *manner* or *method* in which the transmission was executed.

4.  **Review the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner (Matches "manner" or "method")
    *   2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control (Related, but Sense 1 is more precise for *how* an action is performed.)
    *   3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction (Physical path/direction)
    *   4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is (General state)
    *   5. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue (Moral/behavioral path)
    *   6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out (Physical road/path)
    *   7. definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way (Movement)
    *   8. definition=space for movement | examples=room to pass (Physical space)
    *   9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow (Distance)
    *   10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way (Preference/choice)

    *   12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways (Division)

5.  **Match the context meaning ("manner/method") to the senses:** Sense 1 ("how something is done or how it happens") is the perfect fit for "the way the transmission... was carried out."

6.  **Final check:** The sentence is discussing the *method* of carrying out the directive transmission. Sense 1 covers this.

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

Sentence: The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the <t>transmission</t> of the directive was carried out to cause them.

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

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the <t>transmission</t> of the directive was carried out to cause them."

3.  **Determine the context of "transmission":**
    *   The sentence discusses a "directive" (an instruction or order).
    *   It refers to "the way the [transmission] of the directive was carried out."
    *   This means "transmission" refers to the process of conveying or delivering the directive.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. definition=the act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted. (Matches the context of conveying a directive.)
    *   2. definition=communication by means of transmitted signals. (Too specific, usually relates to radio/telecom, not the general act of carrying out a directive.)
    *   3. definition=the fraction of radiant energy that passes through a substance. (Physics/optics; irrelevant.)
    *   4. definition=an incident in which an infectious disease is transmitted. (Biology/medicine; irrelevant.)
    *   5. definition=the gears that transmit power from an automobile engine via the driveshaft to the live axle. (Automotive; irrelevant, although the sentence mentions "auto expulsions," the word "transmission" here clearly refers to the *process* of the directive, not the car part.)

5.  **Select the best match:** Sense 1 perfectly describes the act of conveying or sending a message (the directive).

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

Sentence: The <t>damage</t> brought about to the principles of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic.

Senses:
1. definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse
2. definition=loss of military equipment
3. definition=the act of damaging something or someone
4. definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | examples=the price of gasoline
5. definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right

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

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "The <t>damage</t> brought about to the principles of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic."

3.  **Determine the context of "damage":**
    *   "Damage" here refers to harm or injury inflicted upon "principles of the sport."
    *   The harm is described in terms of ethical and aesthetic qualities, suggesting a conceptual or abstract injury, not a physical one.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **1. definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse:** This fits well. Principles being harmed or corrupted is a change for the worse.
    *   **2. definition=loss of military equipment:** Incorrect. The context is sports principles, not military hardware.
    *   **3. definition=the act of damaging something or someone:** This is the *verb* form (to damage). The sentence uses "damage" as a *noun* (The damage...). While related, Sense 1 is a better fit for the *type* of damage (the resulting state/change).
    *   **4. definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | examples=the price of gasoline:** Incorrect. This is financial damage/cost.
    *   **5. definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right:** This is a specific type of damage (legal/tort law). While principles can be violated, the focus here is on the *quality* of the harm (ethical/aesthetic), making Sense 1 broader and more accurate for the abstract concept.

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 5:**
    *   Sense 5 is highly specific (legal violation).
    *   Sense 1 ("the occurrence of a change for the worse") is broad and perfectly captures the idea of principles being corrupted or degraded (a change for the worse).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate definition for "damage" when applied to abstract concepts like "principles."

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

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

Sentence: The damage brought about to the <t>principles</t> of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic.

Senses:
1. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | examples=their principles of composition characterized all their works
2. definition=a rule or standard especially of good behavior | examples=a man of principle
3. definition=a basic truth or law or assumption | examples=the principles of democracy
4. definition=a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system | examples=the principle of the conservation of mass
5. definition=rule of personal conduct
6. definition=(law) an explanation of the fundamental reasons (especially an explanation of the working of some device in terms of laws of nature) | examples=the rationale for capital punishment

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

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "The damage brought about to the <t>principles</t> of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "principles" in context:**
    *   The context is "principles of the sport."
    *   The damage is described as affecting these principles, and the damage is judged as "ethical" vs. "aesthetic."
    *   "Ethical" relates directly to morality, rules of conduct, and standards of good behavior.
    *   Therefore, "principles of the sport" refers to the fundamental rules, standards, or moral codes that govern the sport.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | examples=their principles of composition characterized all their works** (Relates to general rules/basis for reasoning. Plausible, but maybe too broad.)
    *   **2. definition=a rule or standard especially of good behavior | examples=a man of principle** (Focuses heavily on moral standards/good behavior. Very strong fit for "ethical" damage.)
    *   **3. definition=a basic truth or law or assumption | examples=the principles of democracy** (Focuses on fundamental truths/laws. Plausible, but less specific to the moral/conduct aspect implied by "ethical.")
    *   **4. definition=a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system | examples=the principle of the conservation of mass** (Scientific/natural laws. Incorrect.)
    *   **5. definition=rule of personal conduct** (This is a very specific subset of sense 2, focusing on *personal* conduct. While the sport has rules of conduct, sense 2 is broader and fits the general concept of standards.)
    *   **6. definition=(law) an explanation of the fundamental reasons (especially an explanation of the working of some device in terms of laws of nature) | examples=the rationale for capital punishment** (Explanations/rationales. Incorrect.)

5.  **Compare the best fits (1, 2, 3):**
    *   The sentence links the principles to *ethics*.
    *   Sense 2: "a rule or standard especially of good behavior." This perfectly aligns with the concept of ethical standards in a sport.
    *   Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption." While rules are assumptions, the emphasis on "ethical" points more strongly to moral standards (Sense 2).
    *   Sense 1: "a basic generalization... basis for reasoning or conduct." This is too general.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2, "a rule or standard especially of good behavior," is the most accurate fit for "principles of the sport" when the damage is described as "ethical."

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

10. definition=the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field | examples=the action is no longer in technology stocks but in municipal bonds

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word:** The word is "actions" (plural of action).
2.  **Analyze the context:** "The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these <t>actions</t> is not as much ethical as aesthetic."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "actions" in this context:** The sentence refers to specific deeds or behaviors performed by people (presumably participants or governing bodies) that caused damage to the principles of the sport. These are deliberate acts or deeds.
4.  **Evaluate the provided senses against the determined meaning:**

    *   1. definition=something done (usually as opposed to something said) | examples=there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions. (Matches the idea of specific deeds/behaviors.)
    *   2. definition=the state of being active | examples=his sphere of activity. (Refers to state/activity, not specific deeds.)
    *   3. definition=a military engagement | examples=he saw action in Korea. (Too specific/military.)
    *   4. definition=a process existing in or produced by nature... (Refers to nature, not human deeds.)
    *   5. definition=the series of events that form a plot | examples=his novels always have a lot of action. (Refers to narrative plot.)
    *   6. definition=the trait of being active and energetic and forceful | examples=a man of action. (Refers to a quality/trait, not specific deeds.)
    *   7. definition=the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism | examples=the piano had a very stiff action. (Mechanical part.)
    *   8. definition=a judicial proceeding... (Legal/court case.)
    *   9. definition=an act by a government body or supranational organization | examples=recent federal action undermined the segregationist position. (Too specific/governmental.)
    *   10. definition=the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field | examples=the action is no longer in technology stocks but in municipal bonds. (Refers to focus/investment.)

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

Sentence: Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises <t>possibility</t> of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere

Senses:
1. definition=a future prospect or potential | examples=this room has great possibilities
2. definition=capability of existing or happening or being true | examples=there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired
3. definition=a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena | examples=a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory
4. definition=a possible alternative | examples=bankruptcy is always a possibility

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises <t>possibility</t> of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere."
2.  **Analyze the context of "possibility":** The microbe's existence/discovery *increases* the chance or potential for new life forms.
3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a future prospect or potential" (e.g., "this room has great possibilities"). This fits the idea of potential future life arising from the microbe.
    *   **Sense 2:** "capability of existing or happening or being true" (e.g., "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired"). This is a general statement of chance/likelihood. While related, Sense 1 captures the *potential* inherent in the discovery more strongly.
    *   **Sense 3:** "a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified..." (e.g., "a scientific hypothesis..."). This refers to a scientific theory or hypothesis, not the general chance of life existing. This is incorrect.
    *   **Sense 4:** "a possible alternative" (e.g., "bankruptcy is always a possibility"). This refers to a choice or alternative outcome. This is incorrect.
4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   The sentence implies that the microbe *opens up* a potential future scenario (new life). This aligns perfectly with "a future prospect or potential" (Sense 1).
    *   While Sense 2 ("capability of existing or happening") is close, Sense 1 emphasizes the *potential* that the microbe *creates* or *raises*.
5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit.

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

Sentence: Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises possibility of new <t>types</t> of life on Earth, or elsewhere

Senses:
1. definition=a subdivision of a particular kind of thing | examples=what type of sculpture do you prefer?
2. definition=a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities) | examples=a real character
3. definition=(biology) the taxonomic group whose characteristics are used to define the next higher taxon
4. definition=printed characters | examples=small type is hard to read
5. definition=all of the tokens of the same symbol | examples=the word `element' contains five different types of character
6. definition=a small metal block bearing a raised character on one end; produces a printed character when inked and pressed on paper | examples=he dropped a case of type, so they made him pick them up

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises possibility of new <t>types</t> of life on Earth, or elsewhere."
2.  **Analyze the word in question:** "types" (plural of "type").
3.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is discussing "life" (biological entities) and the possibility of "new types of life."
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. definition=a subdivision of a particular kind of thing | examples=what type of sculpture do you prefer? (This fits the general idea of different kinds/kinds of life.)
    *   2. definition=a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities) | examples=a real character (Incorrect. Not referring to people.)
    *   3. definition=(biology) the taxonomic group whose characteristics are used to define the next higher taxon | examples=... (This is a very specific biological definition, often used in formal taxonomy, but it is a specific *kind* of subdivision.)
    *   4. definition=printed characters | examples=small type is hard to read (Incorrect. Refers to printing.)
    *   5. definition=all of the tokens of the same symbol | examples=the word `element' contains five different types of character (Incorrect. Refers to computing/linguistics.)
    *   6. definition=a small metal block bearing a raised character... (Incorrect. Refers to printing.)
5.  **Compare Senses 1 and 3:**
    *   Sense 1: General subdivision/kind. "New types of life" means new kinds/kinds of life.
    *   Sense 3: Specific biological taxonomic group. While "types" in biology *can* mean a taxonomic group, the phrasing "new types of life" is a broader, more common usage referring to distinct kinds or forms of life, not necessarily formal taxonomic ranks (like species or genus).
6.  **Determine the best fit:** The context is general scientific possibility ("raises possibility of new..."). The most general and appropriate meaning for "new types of life" is "new kinds/subdivisions of life." This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct sense.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=the act of discovering something (Matches the event/act of finding the bacteria.)
    *   2. definition=something that is discovered (This would be the bacteria itself, not the act of finding it.)
    *   3. definition=a productive insight (While finding new life forms is an insight, the primary meaning here is the *finding* of the bacteria, not just the abstract insight.)
    *   4. definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure... (This is a legal term and is irrelevant to the scientific context.)

5.  **Select the best match:** Sense 1 ("the act of discovering something") is the most accurate fit.

        *   This refers to a specific compound (arsenic trioxide, $\text{As}_2\text{O}_3$), often used as a poison or chemical agent. While arsenic compounds can be nutrients, this definition focuses heavily on its use as a poison/chemical additive.
    *   **Sense 2:** "a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar."
        *   This refers to the element itself (As). The definition mentions "arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides..." This sense describes the chemical nature of the element and its general applications, which includes its role as a chemical entity that can be utilized (like a nutrient) by biological systems.

4.  **Compare context to senses:**
    *   The sentence discusses arsenic as a *nutrient* used by *bacteria*.
    *   Arsenic is a metalloid element (As).
    *   Sense 2 defines arsenic as the metallic element and discusses its chemical properties and compounds. This is the broader, elemental definition that encompasses its role in biochemistry (as a potential nutrient or metabolic component).
    *   Sense 1 is too specific (trioxide, poison, glass manufacturing).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 provides the most appropriate and general definition of the chemical substance (the element/its compounds) that can function as a nutrient in a biological context.

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

1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "possibility" (or "possibilities") is used in the given sentence. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "While researchers discovered the unusual bacteria here in Earth, they say it shows that life has <t>possibilities</t> beyond the major elements that have been considered essential."

3.  **Analyze the context of "possibilities":** The bacteria discovery suggests that life might exist or manifest in ways that were previously thought impossible or restricted (i.e., beyond major elements). The "possibilities" here refer to potential forms, types, or ways life could exist.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a future prospect or potential | examples=this room has great possibilities. (This relates to potential for future development or outcomes. *Fit:* The bacteria suggest potential forms of life that haven't been seen yet.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=capability of existing or happening or being true | examples=there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired. (This relates to a specific event or state being able to occur. *Fit:* While related to potential, the phrasing "life has possibilities" suggests a range of potential *forms* or *types*, not just a single event happening.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena | examples=a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory. (This is a scientific hypothesis/theory. *Fit:* The sentence is about the *results* of the discovery, not the hypothesis itself, although the discovery supports a new possibility/concept.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a possible alternative | examples=bankruptcy is always a possibility. (This refers to a choice or an alternative outcome. *Fit:* While the new life forms are alternatives to known life forms, Sense 1 captures the broader idea of *potential* or *scope* better.)

5.  **Compare the best fits (1 and 2):**
    *   Sense 1 ("future prospect or potential"): "Life has possibilities" means life has potential forms or ways of existing that we haven't yet realized or defined. This aligns perfectly with the idea of expanding the known scope of life.
    *   Sense 2 ("capability of existing or happening"): This is often used for singular events ("There is a possibility that X will happen"). When applied to a broad concept like "life," Sense 1 (potential/scope) is the more appropriate interpretation.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, referring to potential or scope, is the most accurate fit.

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