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

Context: Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions. This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding <t>issues</t> before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | examples=the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone; politicians never discuss the real issues
2. definition=one of a series published periodically | synonyms=number | examples=she found an old issue of the magazine in her dentist's waiting room
3. definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter | examples=he kept drifting off the topic; he had been thinking about the subject for several years
4. definition=the act of providing an item for general use or for official purposes (usually in quantity) | synonyms=issuing, issuance | examples=a new issue of stamps; the last issue of penicillin was over a month ago
5. definition=supplies (as food or clothing or ammunition) issued by the government | synonyms=military issue, government issue
6. definition=the income or profit arising from such transactions as the sale of land or other property | synonyms=return, take, takings, proceeds, yield, payoff | examples=the average return was about 5%

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding <t>issues</t> before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "issues" in this context:** The delegates are negotiating a treaty/deal. They need to resolve "outstanding issues." This refers to specific points, problems, or topics of disagreement that need to be settled before the final agreement can be reached.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | examples=the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone; politicians never discuss the real issues
    *   2. definition=one of a series published periodically | synonyms=number | (Relates to magazines/publications) - *Incorrect.*
    *   3. definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter | (General topic/subject) - *Plausible, but perhaps too broad.*
    *   4. definition=the act of providing an item for general use or for official purposes (usually in quantity) | synonyms=issuing, issuance | (The act of releasing something) - *Incorrect.*
    *   5. definition=supplies (as food or clothing or ammunition) issued by the government | synonyms=military issue, government issue | (Supplies) - *Incorrect.*
    *   6. definition=the income or profit arising from such transactions as the sale of land or other property | synonyms=return, take, takings, proceeds, yield, payoff | (Financial profit) - *Incorrect.*
    *   7. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, result, event, upshot | (Consequence) - *Incorrect.*
    *   8. definition=the immediate descendants of a person | synonyms=offspring, progeny | (Children) - *Incorrect.*
    *   9. definition=the becoming visible | synonyms=emergence, egress | (Appearance) - *Incorrect.*
    *   10. definition=an opening that permits escape or release | synonyms=exit, outlet, way out | (Hole/opening) - *Incorrect.*
    *   11. definition=the act of issuing printed materials | synonyms=publication | (Publishing) - *Incorrect.*

4.  **Compare the context meaning with the best fit:**
    *   Context meaning: Points of disagreement/problems that must be resolved (e.g., "the issue of carbon taxes," "the issue of funding").
    *   Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled." This perfectly matches the context of delegates needing to "resolve most of the outstanding issues" before striking a deal.
    *   Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about." While technically true, Sense 1 is much more precise, capturing the element of *dispute* and *necessity of resolution* inherent in high-stakes negotiations.

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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a <t>deal</t>."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "deal" in this context:** The delegates are negotiating (in "talks") and need to resolve "outstanding issues" before the heads of government arrive. The action "to strike a deal" implies reaching a formal agreement or resolution.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. a particular instance of buying or selling (trade, business deal). (Possible, but usually implies a commercial transaction, not necessarily a political resolution.)
    *   2. an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each (bargain). (This perfectly matches the context of political negotiations and resolving outstanding issues.)
    *   3. a large number or amount or extent (batch, flock, good deal). (Incorrect. "Strike a deal" doesn't mean "strike a large amount.")
    *   4. a plank of softwood (fir or pine board). (Incorrect. Physical object.)
    *   5. wood that is easy to saw (from conifers such as pine or fir). (Incorrect. Physical material.)
    *   6. the cards held in a card game by a given player at any given time (hand). (Incorrect. Card game terminology.)
    *   7. the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement). (Incorrect. This is the *result* of the deal, not the deal itself in the act of striking it.)
    *   8. the act of distributing playing cards (the deal was passed around). (Incorrect. Card game terminology.)
    *   9. the act of apportioning or distributing something. (Incorrect. Focuses on distribution, not agreement.)

4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 2, "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each," is the most accurate definition for "strike a deal" in a political negotiation setting.

5.  **Final check:** "Strike a deal" = reach an agreement/bargain. This aligns with Sense 2.

Senses:
1. definition=a person authorized to conduct religious worship | synonyms=curate, minister of religion, parson, pastor, rector | examples=clergymen are usually called ministers in Protestant churches

1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "minister" is used in the provided context, specifically for the instance marked with `<t>minister</t>`. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Examine the context:** The relevant phrase is "the Chinese vice <t>minister</t> stepped off planes..."
    *   The context is a high-level international climate change negotiation meeting (Copenhagen).
    *   The individuals mentioned (Jairam Ramesh, the Chinese vice minister) are high-level officials from their respective governments (India and China).
    *   The role is related to government representation and policy-making in a major international event.

3.  **Analyze the senses provided:**
    *   Sense 1: Religious leader (curate, pastor). (Irrelevant to government negotiations.)
    *   Sense 2: A person appointed to a high office in the government (government minister). (Highly relevant. A "vice minister" is a high-ranking government official.)
    *   Sense 3: A diplomat representing one government to another; ranks below ambassador (diplomatic minister). (Possible, but Sense 2 is the broader and more accurate fit for a formal government title like "vice minister.")
    *   Sense 4: The job of a head of a government department. (This defines the *role* or *position* (the job), not the *person* (the minister), which is what the context refers to.)

4.  **Determine the best fit:** The phrase "Chinese vice minister" refers to a specific, high-ranking government official in China. This aligns perfectly with Sense 2: "a person appointed to a high office in the government."

5.  **Formulate the final answer:** The correct sense number is 2.

Senses:
1. definition=an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open | synonyms=hallway | examples=the elevators were at the end of the hall

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences."
2.  **Analyze the setting:** The Bella Center is a convention center, a large venue for meetings and gatherings (like the climate talks described).
3.  **Analyze the action:** High-level officials are moving *through* the halls *to* meetings and conferences.
4.  **Evaluate the senses of "hall":**
    *   1. an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open | synonyms=hallway | examples=the elevators were at the end of the hall. (This fits the idea of moving *through* a space to reach specific rooms/meetings.)
    *   2. a large entrance or reception room or area | synonyms=anteroom, antechamber, entrance hall, foyer, lobby, vestibule. (While a convention center has these, the context suggests movement *through* the facility, not just entering the lobby.)
    *   3. a large room for gatherings or entertainment | examples=lecture hall; pool hall. (The officials are moving *between* rooms/areas, not necessarily through a single large gathering room.)
    *   4. a college or university building containing living quarters for students. (Irrelevant.)

    *   6-10. Proper nouns (Irrelevant).

    *   12. a large building used by a college or university for teaching or research. (Irrelevant, it's a convention center.)
    *   13. a large building for meetings or entertainment. (This describes the *Bella Center* itself, not the specific function of the *halls* within it.)
5.  **Determine the best fit:** Since the officials are "raced through" the halls to reach various meetings, the halls must function as passages or corridors connecting different areas within the large convention center.
6.  **Select the corresponding sense:** Sense 1 (an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open) is the most accurate description of the function of "halls" in a large, multi-room venue like a convention center.

Senses:
1. definition=a formally arranged gathering | synonyms=group meeting | examples=next year the meeting will be in Chicago; the meeting elected a chairperson
2. definition=a small informal social gathering | synonyms=get together | examples=there was an informal meeting in my living room
3. definition=a casual or unexpected convergence | synonyms=encounter | examples=he still remembers their meeting in Paris; there was a brief encounter in the hallway
4. definition=the social act of assembling for some common purpose | synonyms=coming together | examples=his meeting with the salesmen was the high point of his day
5. definition=the act of joining together as one | synonyms=merging, coming together | examples=the merging of the two groups occurred quickly; there was no meeting of minds
6. definition=a place where things merge or flow together (especially rivers) | synonyms=confluence | examples=Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "closed-door <t>meetings</t> and news conferences." The context describes high-level officials (Indian environment minister, Chinese vice minister) arriving at a convention center (Bella Center) to "stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."

2.  **Analyze the specific usage:** The meetings are formal, structured events ("closed-door," "news conferences," "high-level officials," "arbitrated"). They are not casual encounters or informal social gatherings. They are organized sessions for negotiation, discussion, and decision-making related to the climate change treaty.

3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **1. definition=a formally arranged gathering | synonyms=group meeting | examples=next year the meeting will be in Chicago; the meeting elected a chairperson.** This matches the description perfectly. The meetings are formal, arranged, and involve a group of high-level officials.
    *   **2. definition=a small informal social gathering | synonyms=get together | examples=there was an informal meeting in my living room.** Incorrect. These are high-stakes, formal political meetings.
    *   **3. definition=a casual or unexpected convergence | synonyms=encounter | examples=he still remembers their meeting in Paris; there was a brief encounter in the hallway.** Incorrect. These are planned, structured events, not casual encounters.
    *   **4. definition=the social act of assembling for some common purpose | synonyms=coming together | examples=his meeting with the salesmen was the high point of his day.** This is close, but Sense 1 is more precise because it emphasizes the *formal arrangement* inherent in "closed-door meetings" involving ministers and vice ministers. Sense 4 is broader and could include less formal assemblies.
    *   **5. definition=the act of joining together as one | synonyms=merging, coming together | examples=the merging of the two groups occurred quickly; there was no meeting of minds.** Incorrect. This refers to unification or agreement, not the physical/procedural event of the meeting itself.
    *   **6. definition=a place where things merge or flow together (especially rivers) | synonyms=confluence | examples=Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers.** Incorrect. This is a geographical/physical sense.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 best captures the meaning of "closed-door meetings" in the context of international climate negotiations—a formal, arranged gathering for specific purposes.

Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out <t>claims</t> that will be arbitrated over the next week. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages
2. definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims
3. definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day
4. definition=an informal right to something | synonyms=title | examples=his claim on her attentions; his title to fame
5. definition=an established or recognized right | synonyms=title | examples=a strong legal claim to the property; he had no documents confirming his title to his father's estate
6. definition=a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "so they could stake out <t>claims</t> that will be arbitrated over the next week."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding situation:** The context is a high-level international climate negotiation (COP meeting). Officials (Indian environment minister, Chinese vice minister) are racing to closed-door meetings and news conferences.
3.  **Determine the meaning of "claims" in this context:** In negotiations, "staking out claims" means asserting specific positions, demands, or rights regarding the outcomes of the talks (e.g., demands for specific environmental protections, financial aid, or treaty language). These positions are then subject to arbitration or negotiation.
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. an assertion of a right (as to money or property) -> Possible, but usually too specific (money/property).
    *   2. an assertion that something is true or factual -> Possible, but "staking out claims" usually implies a demand or position, not just a statement of fact.
    *   3. demand for something as rightful or due -> This fits perfectly. In negotiations, participants make demands (claims) for what they believe they are rightfully due (e.g., developed nations must pay for climate mitigation).
    *   4. an informal right to something -> Unlikely in a formal international negotiation setting.
    *   5. an established or recognized right -> Unlikely. They are *staking out* (establishing) claims, not asserting pre-existing, recognized rights.
    *   6. a demand especially in the phrase (synonyms=call) -> This is a synonym for "call," which doesn't fit the context of asserting a position in a negotiation.
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 3, "demand for something as rightful or due," best captures the meaning of officials asserting their positions and demands in a high-stakes negotiation environment.

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

Context: This is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed, said Ulate, who also serves as the regional Mexico and Central America climate change adviser for Conservation International. Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning.

High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next <t>week</t>. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=any period of seven consecutive days | synonyms=hebdomad | examples=it rained for a week
2. definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | synonyms=workweek | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week

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

2.  **Analyze the context:** The relevant phrase is: "...stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next <t>week</t>."

3.  **Analyze the surrounding context:** The text describes a high-level international climate negotiation meeting (Copenhagen). Officials are arriving, meeting, and staking out claims. The arbitration/resolution process is scheduled to take place over the next period of time.

4.  **Analyze the senses of "week":**
    *   Sense 1: definition=any period of seven consecutive days | synonyms=hebdomad | examples=it rained for a week
    *   Sense 2: definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | synonyms=workweek | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
    *   Sense 3: definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week

5.  **Determine the meaning in the context:** "Over the next week" refers to a duration of time during which the arbitration will occur. This duration is a standard period of seven days (or slightly more/less, but generally a short, defined period).

6.  **Match the meaning to the senses:**
    *   Sense 2 (workweek) is clearly incorrect. The context is about international negotiations, not office work schedules.
    *   Sense 3 (starting on Sunday) is too specific and restrictive. While a week *can* start on Sunday, the general meaning of a duration of time in this context is simply a period of seven days.
    *   Sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days) is the most accurate and general fit for a duration of time in a professional/event context.

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

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

3.  **Determine the meaning of "gathering" in context:**
    *   The context describes a large event (climate negotiations in Copenhagen).
    *   It mentions "13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day."
    *   It describes the physical space and the large number of participants.
    *   Therefore, "gathering" refers to the collection or assembly of people at a specific location for a purpose.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a group of persons together in one place | synonyms=assemblage. (Matches the context: a large group of people in the convention center.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the social act of assembling | synonyms=assembly, assemblage | examples=they demanded the right of assembly. (This is the *act* or *right*, but Sense 1 focuses on the *group* itself, which fits "the sheer sprawl of the gathering" better.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the act of gathering something | synonyms=gather. (Incorrect. This refers to collecting objects, not people.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=sewing consisting of small folds or puckers... | synonyms=gather. (Incorrect. This is a textile term.)

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("a group of persons together in one place") is the most accurate description of the "gathering" of 13,000 people in the convention center.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "day" in the phrase "each <t>day</t>".
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text:** The text describes a large international climate conference in Copenhagen. It mentions "13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "day" in this context:** "Each day" refers to the passage of time, specifically the recurring 24-hour period during which the conference is taking place.

The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining | examples=a remarkable show of skill
2. definition=something intended to communicate a particular impression | synonyms=display | examples=made a display of strength; a show of impatience
3. definition=a social event involving a public performance or entertainment | examples=they wanted to see some of the shows on Broadway
4. definition=pretending that something is the case in order to make a good impression | synonyms=appearance | examples=they try to keep up appearances; that ceremony is just for show

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

2.  **Examine the context surrounding the target word:**
    "...The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly <t>shows</t> mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "shows" in this specific context:**
    *   The subject is "guitar-playing activists."
    *   The action is "put on nightly shows."
    *   The purpose is "mocking the countries they think are selling out."
    *   This implies a performance, entertainment, or public display designed to convey a message (mockery).

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining | examples=a remarkable show of skill**
        *   *Fit:* "Put on nightly shows" fits the idea of public entertainment/performance. (Strong candidate)

    *   **2. definition=something intended to communicate a particular impression | synonyms=display | examples=made a display of strength; a show of impatience**
        *   *Fit:* While the *content* of the show communicates an impression (mockery), the word "show" here refers to the *performance* itself, not just the impression. Sense 1 is more precise for "put on shows."

    *   **3. definition=a social event involving a public performance or entertainment | examples=they wanted to see some of the shows on Broadway**
        *   *Fit:* This is very close to Sense 1. "Shows on Broadway" are examples of public performances/entertainment. "Put on nightly shows" fits this definition perfectly. (Strong candidate)

    *   **4. definition=pretending that something is the case in order to make a good impression | synonyms=appearance | examples=they try to keep up appearances; that ceremony is just for show**
        *   *Fit:* This refers to pretense or facade. The activists are performing *to mock*, not necessarily to make a *good* impression on the audience in the sense of deception. (Poor fit)

5.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1: "the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining" (Focuses on the action/act).
    *   Sense 3: "a social event involving a public performance or entertainment" (Focuses on the event/type of entertainment).
    *   In the phrase "put on nightly shows," "shows" refers to the performances themselves (the events/acts). Both 1 and 3 are highly relevant. However, Sense 3 ("a social event involving a public performance or entertainment") captures the nature of a performance by activists (like a concert or protest performance) most accurately in common usage, similar to "shows on Broadway." Sense 1 is also correct, but Sense 3 provides a slightly broader and more common definition for the type of event being described.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3 is the most idiomatic and accurate fit for "guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows." (Sense 1 is also acceptable, but Sense 3 is the best match among the options provided.)

5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "countries" is used in the phrase: "...guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the <t>countries</t> they think are selling out..."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The entire passage discusses international climate negotiations, treaties (Copenhagen), political processes, delegates, heads of government (India, China), and international bodies (Alliance of Small Island States, European Commission).

3.  **Determine the meaning of "countries" in this context:** The activists are mocking specific nations/political entities that they believe are compromising their environmental goals ("selling out") during the international talks. Therefore, "countries" refers to sovereign political entities participating in the negotiations.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations**
        *   *Match:* This definition perfectly matches the idea of a sovereign political entity (a nation-state) participating in international politics.

    *   **2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries**
        *   *Match:* While the territory is involved, the context is about the *political actors* (the nations/governments) making decisions, not the physical land itself.

    *   **3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation**
        *   *Match:* The word "countries" here refers to the political entities, not the populations.

    *   **4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country**
        *   *Match:* Incorrect. The context is international politics, not geography/rural life.

    *   **5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country**
        *   *Match:* Incorrect. The context refers to defined, sovereign political states, not vague geographical regions.

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

The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and <t>draft</t> proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge. The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen.

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

Context: Some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen, although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best. The Alliance of Small Island States, which has 43 members, produced a 24-page draft treaty proposal early Friday morning. Artur Runge-Metzger, who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the European Commission, said the push by small island nations has "put political pressure on the entire political process," in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as China and India. The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal. High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week. The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft <t>proposals</t> are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge. The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen.

Senses:
1. definition=something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)
2. definition=an offer of marriage | synonyms=marriage proposal, proposal of marriage, marriage offer
3. definition=the act of making a proposal | synonyms=proposition | examples=they listened to her proposal

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

2.  **Examine the context:** The relevant phrase is: "...and draft <t>proposals</t> are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail..."

3.  **Analyze the surrounding text/meaning:** The context is about international climate negotiations, treaties, and drafts. "Draft proposals" in this setting refer to preliminary documents or plans for a treaty/agreement.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=something proposed (such as a plan or assumption). (Fits the idea of a draft document/plan for a treaty.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an offer of marriage | synonyms=marriage proposal, proposal of marriage, marriage offer. (Does not fit the context of climate treaties.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the act of making a proposal | synonyms=proposition | examples=they listened to her proposal. (This refers to the *action* or *proposition* itself, not the physical *draft document* being passed hand-to-hand. While a draft is a result of a proposition, the physical item being passed is the *plan/document*.)

5.  **Determine the best fit:** The "draft proposals" are documents containing plans for a treaty. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)."

6.  **Final Answer Formulation:** The correct sense is 1.

Senses:
1. definition=a material made of cellulose pulp derived mainly from wood or rags or certain grasses
2. definition=an essay (especially one written as an assignment) | synonyms=composition, report, theme | examples=he got an A on his composition
3. definition=a daily or weekly publication on folded sheets; contains news and articles and advertisements | synonyms=newspaper | examples=he read his newspaper at breakfast

5. definition=a scholarly article describing the results of observations or stating hypotheses | examples=he has written many scientific papers
6. definition=a business firm that publishes newspapers | synonyms=newspaper, newspaper publisher | examples=Murdoch owns many newspapers
7. definition=the physical object that is the product of a newspaper publisher | synonyms=newspaper | examples=when it began to rain he covered his head with a newspaper

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on <t>paper</t> rather than via e-mail."
2.  **Determine the function of "paper" in this context:** The proposals (documents, drafts) are being physically transferred on something. This "something" is the medium or substrate upon which the written communication (the proposal) exists.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. material made of cellulose pulp (physical substance).
    *   2. an essay/composition (a type of document/writing).
    *   3. a daily/weekly publication (a specific type of printed material).
    *   4. a medium for written communication (the surface/substance used to write/carry information).
    *   5. a scholarly article (a specific type of document/writing).
    *   6. a business firm (a company).
    *   7. the physical object of a newspaper (a specific type of printed material).
4.  **Match the function to the senses:**
    *   While "paper" (Sense 1) is the physical material, Sense 4 ("a medium for written communication") captures the *role* of the paper in this specific action (passing a draft proposal). The paper is the vehicle for the communication.
    *   Sense 1 is also plausible, as the draft proposal is physically written on paper. However, Sense 4 is broader and fits the idea of a document being carried or transmitted.
    *   Let's re-evaluate the difference between 1 and 4.
        *   Sense 1: Focuses on the *composition* (cellulose pulp).
        *   Sense 4: Focuses on the *function* (a medium for written communication).
    *   In the phrase "passed hand-to-hand on paper," the paper is functioning as the carrier of the written content (the draft proposal). This aligns perfectly with Sense 4.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the most accurate fit for "paper" used as the substrate for transmitting written documents.

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "challenge" in this context:** The "sprawl of the gathering" (the complexity, size, and chaotic nature of the event) is described as posing a "challenge." This means the event presents a difficult, demanding, or complex situation that needs to be managed or overcome.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   **1. definition=a demanding or stimulating situation | examples=they reacted irrationally to the challenge of Russian power.** (Matches the idea of a difficult or complex situation.)
    *   **2. definition=a call to engage in a contest or fight.** (Implies a direct confrontation or competition, which is too strong for "sprawl.")
    *   **3. definition=questioning a statement and demanding an explanation | examples=his challenge of the assumption that Japan is still our enemy.** (Implies intellectual or rhetorical questioning, not physical/logistical difficulty.)
    *   **4. definition=a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror.** (Legal context, irrelevant.)
    *   **5. definition=a demand by a sentry for a password or identification.** (Security context, irrelevant.)

    *   The presence of "nearly all of the key ministers" and "60 heads of government" signifies a major escalation or increase in the importance, seriousness, and pressure of the event.
    *   "The intensity is only building" means the situation is becoming more serious, critical, or significant.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation) | synonyms=strength, intensity level | examples=he adjusted the intensity of the sound; they measured the station's signal strength. (Relates to physics/energy/signal strength. Does not fit the political/situational context.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=high level or degree; the property of being intense | synonyms=intensiveness | (Relates to the degree or level of seriousness/significance. This matches the idea that the political pressure/stakes are increasing.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction) | synonyms=volume, loudness | examples=the kids played their music at full volume. (Relates specifically to sound/audio. Does not fit the political context.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue | synonyms=saturation, chroma, vividness | (Relates to color theory. Does not fit the political context.)

3.  **Analyze the surrounding text/clues:**
    *   The context discusses international climate negotiations (Alliance of Small Island States, European Commission, China, India).
    *   It mentions "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" and "the Chinese vice minister."
    *   The people referred to as "ministers" are high-level officials attending a major international political gathering (COP/climate talks).
    *   The phrase "heads of government" is used nearby, indicating high political rank.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** A person authorized to conduct religious worship. (Irrelevant. The context is political/environmental.)
    *   **Sense 2:** A person appointed to a high office in the government. (Highly relevant. "Indian environment minister" and "vice minister" fit this definition perfectly. They are government officials.)
    *   **Sense 3:** A diplomat representing one government to another; ranks below ambassador. (Possible, but Sense 2 is more precise, as "minister" in this context usually refers to a cabinet-level or high-ranking political appointee, not just a diplomatic representative.)
    *   **Sense 4:** The job of a head of a government department. (This is the *role* or *office*, not the *person*. The context refers to the people ("ministers are now here").)

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context describes international climate negotiations (COP meeting).
    *   Key actors include the European Commission, small island nations, China, India, and high-level officials (ministers, vice ministers, heads of government).
    *   The final sentence containing the target word is: "We're getting into the big leagues, said Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, vice president for global <t>policy</t> at Conservation International. The heavyweights are coming."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "policy" in the Context:**
    *   Carlos Manuel Rodriguez is the "vice president for global policy" at Conservation International (an NGO focused on environmental issues).
    *   In this setting (international negotiations, environmental issues, high-level diplomacy), "global policy" refers to the overarching strategies, guidelines, and courses of action that guide the organization's work or the international community's response to climate change.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group | examples=it was a policy of retribution; a politician keeps changing his policies.
        *   *Fit:* "Global policy" fits this definition perfectly. It is the adopted plan/strategy for dealing with global issues (like climate change).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government | examples=they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation.
        *   *Fit:* While related to government action, this sense often focuses on the *justification* or *argument* behind the action. Sense 1 is a broader and more direct fit for a corporate/NGO title like "vice president for global policy."

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=written contract or certificate of insurance | synonyms=insurance policy, insurance | examples=you should have read the small print on your policy.
        *   *Fit:* No. This is clearly not about insurance.
