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

Context: But the game, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decidedand the Maccabees tried to remind the Vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court, and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved in the game. Eidson and Pnini played a decisive role in the "yellows'" return to the light. More disadvantages Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67). The Alavas worked themselves to the bone in the last period, and English and San Emeterio (65-75) had already made it clear that they were not going to let anyone take away what they had earned during the first thirty minutes. However, Pnini and Eidson, the best on their <t>team</t>, did not give up and tried to keep their team alive from the three-point line (70-77). In spite of this, and with Splitter fouling out, Ivonic's team didn't rush, defended well, and, even though the Israelis came close at the last minute, the game was already won and victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the season.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `definition=a street in lower Manhattan where the New York Stock Exchange is located; symbol of American finance | synonyms=Wall St.` (Focuses on the physical location/place.)
    *   **Sense 2:** `definition=used to allude to the securities industry of the United States | synonyms=the Street` (Focuses on the abstract concept/industry.)

5.  **Determine the Usage:**
    *   While the NYSE is physically located on Wall Street (Sense 1), the context is not describing the *street* itself. It is describing the *market's performance* ("Wall Street closes without momentum," "in a market torn between...").
    *   When "Wall Street" is used in this manner (referring to market movements, gains, and losses), it is functioning as a metonymy for the entire financial system or securities industry.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 (alluding to the securities industry) is the correct sense.

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

1. definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | synonyms=fig | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2
2. definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | synonyms=human body, physical body, material body, soma, build, physique | examples=Leonardo studied the human body; he has a strong physique

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "figures" in the phrase "According to final closing figures". The context is financial/stock market reporting (Dow Jones, NASDAQ, Standard & Poor's 500, percentages, points).
2.  **Determine the meaning of "figures" in this context:** In financial reporting, "figures" refers to the numerical data, statistics, or amounts (like the closing values, gains, and losses) used to describe the market performance.
3.  **Examine the provided senses:** I need to find the sense that matches "numerical data/amounts."
    *   1. Diagram/picture (No)
    *   2. Human body (No)
    *   3. Digit (A part of a number, but "figures" here means the whole set of numbers/data, not just the digits themselves. Close, but maybe too narrow.)
    *   4. Model of a bodily form (No)
    *   5. Notable person (No)
    *   6. Shape/form (No)
    *   7. An amount of money expressed numerically (Yes, this fits the idea of numerical data/amounts, especially in a financial context, though it specifically mentions money, the broader concept of numerical amounts applies.)
    *   8. Impression (No)
    *   9. Property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals (Synonym: number. This is very broad and relates to quantity/data.)
    *   10. Figurative language (No)
    *   11. Percept/shape (No)
    *   12. Decorative work (No)
    *   13. Dance movements (No)
4.  **Compare the best candidates (7 and 9):**
    *   Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically." While the context is stock prices (which are amounts of money), "figures" often refers to general statistics (like percentage changes or point gains) as well as the absolute monetary values.
    *   Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals (Synonyms: number)." This definition captures the idea of numerical data or statistics (the "number" of points gained, the "number" of percentage changes).

5.  **Refine the choice:** In common usage, when referring to "closing figures" in finance, it means the numerical data/statistics (the numbers themselves). Sense 9, defined as "number" or "quantity," is the most accurate general fit for statistical data presented in a report. Sense 7 is too restrictive (only money).

6.  **Final check:** "Final closing figures" = the final numerical data/statistics. Sense 9 = number/quantity. This is the correct match.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Context sentence: "...whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology <t>predominance</t>, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points."
    *   The context is about the NASDAQ index.
    *   The NASDAQ is known for being heavily weighted toward technology stocks.
    *   The phrase "with a technology predominance" means that technology stocks are the most significant or influential component of the NASDAQ index.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the state of being predominant over others | synonyms=predomination, prepotency. (Focuses on being the most powerful/dominant/overriding.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the quality of being more noticeable than anything else | synonyms=predomination | examples=the predomination of blues gave the painting a quiet tone. (Focuses on visibility, prominence, or sensory impact.)

4.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    *   In the context, "technology predominance" refers to the fact that technology stocks *dominate* the composition or weight of the NASDAQ index. They are the most significant group of stocks.
    *   Sense 1 ("the state of being predominant over others") fits this meaning perfectly. The technology sector is predominant (dominant) within the NASDAQ.
    *   Sense 2 ("the quality of being more noticeable") is less accurate here; it would apply if the technology stocks were simply *more visible* than others, but the context implies structural dominance (weighting/influence).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit.

2.  **Determine the meaning of "trading volumes" in this context:** "Trading volumes" refers to the number of shares or contracts traded in the stock market over a period. When they are "very weak," it means not many transactions are happening.
3.  **Examine the provided senses of "volume":**
    *   1. 3D space (physical size). (Incorrect)
    *   2. Property of great magnitude/bulk/mass. (This relates to quantity/amount, which fits the idea of a large number of trades, but let's check others.)
    *   3. Bound pages/book. (Incorrect)
    *   4. Publication/set of books. (Incorrect)
    *   5. A relative amount (e.g., "one volume of solution"). (This is a measure of quantity/amount, often used in ratios.)
    *   6. Magnitude of sound/loudness. (Incorrect)
4.  **Match the meaning (number of transactions/quantity of trade) to the best sense:**
    *   The concept of "trading volume" is fundamentally about the *quantity* or *amount* of activity.
    *   Sense 2 ("the property of something that is great in magnitude") covers general quantity/mass/bulk.
    *   Sense 5 ("a relative amount") covers quantity/ratio.
5.  **Refine the choice:** In financial contexts, "volume" refers to the sheer quantity of items exchanged. While Sense 2 (magnitude/bulk) is related, Sense 5 (a relative amount) is often used when discussing quantities in a comparative or proportional sense (e.g., compared to previous days). However, let's re-evaluate Sense 2. "Trading volumes have become very weak." This means the *magnitude* of the trading activity is small. Sense 2 fits the idea of magnitude/quantity better than Sense 5, which often implies a ratio (e.g., "double the volume").
6.  **Conclusion:** The context refers to the quantity or magnitude of transactions. Sense 2, defined as "the property of something that is great in magnitude," is the most appropriate fit for the concept of trading volume (the magnitude of activity). (Although Sense 5 is also related to quantity, Sense 2 captures the idea of the overall scale/magnitude of the activity.)

7.  **Final check:** "Trading volumes" = the magnitude/amount of shares traded. This aligns with Sense 2 (magnitude/bulk).

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

Context: Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%. According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the <t>case</t> until the end of the year."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "case" in this context:** The speaker (Mace Blicksilver) is discussing market conditions (narrow margin, weak trading volumes). The "case" refers to the current situation or state of affairs in the market.
3.  **Examine the provided senses:** I need to find the sense that matches "the current state of affairs/situation."

    *   1. an occurrence of something (instance, example) - Possible, but usually refers to a specific event.
    *   2. a special set of circumstances (event) - Very strong candidate. Refers to the specific conditions (weak volumes, narrow margin).
    *   3. legal proceeding (lawsuit) - Incorrect.
    *   4. the actual state of things (that was not the case) - Very strong candidate. Refers to the current condition/state.
    *   5. portable container - Incorrect.
    *   6. person requiring services - Incorrect.
    *   7. subject of investigation - Incorrect.
    *   8. problem requiring investigation - Incorrect.

4.  **Compare the best candidates (2 and 4):**
    *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances | synonyms=event | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled." (Focuses on a specific event or set of circumstances.)
    *   Sense 4: "the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case." (Focuses on the general condition or state.)

5.  **Refine the choice based on usage:** The phrase "this will remain the case" is a very common idiom meaning "this situation/state of affairs will continue." Sense 4, "the actual state of things," perfectly captures this meaning. Sense 2 is also plausible, but Sense 4 is the most direct and idiomatic fit for "remain the case."

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 4.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word ("trend") in Context:**
    *   "The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators..."
    *   In this financial context, "trend" refers to the general direction or movement of the market (upward or downward).

        *   *Match?* Possible, as it relates to a "movement," but Sense 1 is much more specific to the financial/market context (the direction of prices). Sense 3 usually applies to social or political shifts (e.g., "the trend of public opinion").

3.  **Determine the meaning of "market" in this specific context:** The phrase "improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery" refers to how investors/analysts view the financial health and performance of the economy and the stock market. It relates to the overall financial/securities environment.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=the world of commercial activity where goods and services are bought and sold | synonyms=marketplace | examples=without competition there would be no market; they were driven from the marketplace:** This is a general definition of a market, but Sense 4 is more specific to the financial context.
    *   **2. definition=the customers for a particular product or service | examples=before they publish any book they try to determine the size of the market for it:** This refers to a target audience/demand, not the financial environment described. (Incorrect)
    *   **3. definition=a marketplace where groceries are sold | synonyms=grocery store, grocery, food market | examples=the grocery store included a meat market:** This is a specific type of physical market. (Incorrect)
    *   **4. definition=the securities markets in the aggregate | synonyms=securities industry | examples=the market always frustrates the small investor:** This definition perfectly matches the context of the NYSE, Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and economic indicators influencing investment sentiment. (Highly likely correct)

5.  **Conclusion:** The context is clearly about financial markets and investment sentiment. Sense 4 is the correct fit.

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

Context: The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%. According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points. The wider Standard & Poor's 500 has itself advanced by 0.37% (4.06 points) to 1 106.41 points. Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year. The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which "have contributed to improving market opinion in <t>relation</t> to the robustness of the economic recovery", summarised Charles Schwab's analysts. In the United States, retail sales have increased by 1.3% in November, for the second month in a row, and far more than predicted.

Senses:
1. definition=an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together
2. definition=the act of sexual procreation between a man and a woman; the man's penis is inserted into the woman's vagina and excited until orgasm and ejaculation occur | synonyms=sexual intercourse, intercourse, sex act, copulation, coitus, coition
3. definition=a person related by blood or marriage | synonyms=relative | examples=police are searching for relatives of the deceased; he has distant relations back in New Jersey
4. definition=an act of narration | synonyms=telling, recounting | examples=he was the hero according to his own relation; his endless recounting of the incident eventually became unbearable
5. definition=(law) the principle that an act done at a later time is deemed by law to have occurred at an earlier time | synonyms=relation back | examples=his attorney argued for the relation back of the amended complaint to the time the initial complaint was filed
6. definition=(usually plural) mutual dealings or connections among persons or groups | examples=international relations

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

2.  **Analyze the Context Sentence:** "The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which 'have contributed to improving market opinion in <t>relation</t> to the robustness of the economic recovery', summarised Charles Schwab's analysts."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "relation" in Context:**
    *   The phrase is "in relation to X."
    *   "X" is "the robustness of the economic recovery."
    *   The phrase means "in connection with," "with respect to," or "compared to" the robustness of the economic recovery. It establishes a connection or relationship between the improved market opinion and the economic recovery.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together:** This sense refers to a connection, association, or characteristic shared between two things (e.g., "the relation between price and demand"). This fits the meaning of "in relation to."
    *   **2. definition=the act of sexual procreation...:** (Sexual intercourse). Incorrect.
    *   **3. definition=a person related by blood or marriage:** (Relative). Incorrect.
    *   **4. definition=an act of narration:** (Story/account). Incorrect.
    *   **5. definition=(law) the principle that an act done at a later time is deemed by law to have occurred at an earlier time:** (Legal concept). Incorrect.
    *   **6. definition=(usually plural) mutual dealings or connections among persons or groups:** (International relations). While this involves connections, Sense 1 is a broader, more abstract definition of connection/association, which is what is used when linking "market opinion" and "economic recovery."

5.  **Select the Best Fit:** Sense 1 ("an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together") perfectly captures the meaning of establishing a connection or association between two concepts (market opinion and economic recovery).

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