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

Context: Another sponsor was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, which has an enormous financial stake in the outcome of the litigation. The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case. In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics <t>rules</t>. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices.

Senses:
1. definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation
2. definition=something regarded as a normative example | synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula | examples=the convention of not naming the main character; violence is the rule not the exception
3. definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript
4. definition=(linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice | synonyms=linguistic rule
5. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | synonyms=principle | examples=their principles of composition characterized all their works
6. definition=the duration of a monarch's or government's power | examples=during the rule of Elizabeth
7. definition=dominance or power through legal authority | synonyms=dominion | examples=France held undisputed dominion over vast areas of Africa; the rule of Caesar
8. definition=directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess
9. definition=any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order | examples=the rule of St. Dominic
10. definition=a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system | synonyms=principle | examples=the principle of the conservation of mass; the principle of jet propulsion
11. definition=(mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems | synonyms=formula | examples=he determined the upper bound with Descartes' rule of signs; he gave us a general formula for attacking polynomials
12. definition=measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths | synonyms=ruler

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "runs afoul of ethics <t>rules</t>." The surrounding text discusses the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices, and the fact that the justices in question are exempt from it.
2.  **Determine the meaning of "rules" in this context:** "Rules" here refers to established standards, regulations, or guidelines of conduct (ethics) that must be followed.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation. (Matches the idea of governing behavior/regulation.)
    *   2. something regarded as a normative example | synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula | (Too broad, focuses on examples/patterns, not necessarily mandatory conduct.)
    *   3. prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript. (Very strong match. Ethics rules are prescribed guides for conduct.)
    *   4. (linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice. (Irrelevant.)
    *   5. a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | synonyms=principle. (Closer to "principle," but "rules" often implies specific, actionable regulations, not just general principles.)
    *   6. the duration of a monarch's or government's power. (Irrelevant.)
    *   7. dominance or power through legal authority | synonyms=dominion. (Irrelevant.)
    *   8. directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted. (Too specific, though related to conduct.)
    *   9. any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order. (Too specific.)
    *   10. a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system | synonyms=principle. (Irrelevant, relates to science/systems.)
    *   11. (mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems. (Irrelevant.)
    *   12. measuring stick. (Irrelevant.)
4.  **Compare the best matches (1 and 3):**
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation."
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript."
5.  **Select the most precise fit:** Since the context refers to the "Code of Conduct" and whether the justices' actions "run afoul of ethics rules," the rules are specific, mandatory guidelines for behavior. Sense 3, "prescribed guide for conduct or action," captures this mandatory, prescriptive nature perfectly. Sense 1 is also good, but Sense 3 is more focused on the *prescriptive* nature inherent in ethical codes.

6.  **Final check:** "Ethics rules" = "prescribed guides for conduct." This is accurate. (Sense 3)

If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event."

Senses:
1. definition=something done (usually as opposed to something said) | examples=there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions
2. definition=the state of being active | synonyms=activity, activeness | examples=his sphere of activity; he is out of action

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; gawkers always try to get as close to the action as possible

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "the actions of lower federal justices."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "actions" in this specific context:** The context discusses judicial ethics rules (Code of Conduct), judges attending events, and whether their behavior violates rules. "Actions" refers to the things the justices *do* or the decisions/behaviors they engage in.
3.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. something done (usually as opposed to something said) | examples=there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions. (This fits the idea of deeds/behaviors.)
    *   2. the state of being active | synonyms=activity, activeness | examples=his sphere of activity; he is out of action. (This refers to a state, not specific deeds.)
    *   3. a military engagement | synonyms=military action | examples=he saw action in Korea. (Irrelevant.)
    *   4. a process existing in or produced by nature | synonyms=natural process, natural action, activity | examples=the action of natural forces; volcanic activity. (Irrelevant.)
    *   5. the series of events that form a plot | examples=his novels always have a lot of action. (Irrelevant.)
    *   6. the trait of being active and energetic and forceful | examples=a man of action. (This is a quality/trait, not the deeds themselves.)
    *   7. the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism | synonyms=action mechanism | examples=the piano had a very stiff action. (Irrelevant.)
    *   8. a judicial proceeding brought by one party against another; one party prosecutes another for a wrong done or for protection of a right or for prevention of a wrong | synonyms=legal action, action at law. (This refers to a lawsuit, not the general conduct of the justices.)
    *   9. an act by a government body or supranational organization | examples=recent federal action undermined the segregationist position; the United Nations must have the power to propose and organize action without being hobbled by irrelevant issues. (This is close, as justices are government officials, but Sense 1 is broader and more accurate for general conduct/behavior.)
    *   10. 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; gawkers always try to get as close to the action as possible. (This refers to the main focus/event, not the specific deeds of the justices.)
4.  **Compare the best fits (1, 9):**
    *   Sense 9 focuses specifically on *government* acts (e.g., "federal action"). While justices are government officials, the context is about their *conduct* and *behavior* (attending events, following rules), which is a general description of what they *do*.
    *   Sense 1 defines "something done (usually as opposed to something said)." This perfectly captures the meaning of "the actions of lower federal justices"—their deeds, behaviors, and conduct.
5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit.

7. definition=the act of forming or establishing something | synonyms=constitution, establishment, formation, organisation | examples=the constitution of a PTA group last year; it was the establishment of his reputation

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "organizations" (plural of "organization"). The sentence is: "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other <t>organizations</t> although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "organizations" in this context:** The context refers to "fund-raising events" and "law-related" entities. These entities are groups (like associations, societies, or non-profits) that exist for a purpose (fundraising, legal advocacy, etc.).

3.  **Examine the senses provided:**

    *   1. definition=a group of people who work together | synonyms=organisation. (Matches the idea of a group/body.)
    *   2. definition=an organized structure for arranging or classifying | synonyms=arrangement, organisation, system. (Refers to structure/system, not the entity itself.)
    *   3. definition=the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something | synonyms=administration, governance, governing body, establishment, brass, organisation. (Focuses on the governing *people* or *body*, which is close, but Sense 1 is broader and fits the general concept of a group/entity.)
    *   4. definition=the act of organizing a business or an activity related to a business | synonyms=organisation. (Refers to the *process* of organizing.)
    *   5. definition=an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized | synonyms=organisation, system. (Refers to the *state* of being ordered.)
    *   6. definition=the activity or result of distributing or disposing persons or things properly or methodically | synonyms=organisation. (Refers to the *process* of arranging/distributing.)
    *   7. definition=the act of forming or establishing something | synonyms=constitution, establishment, formation, organisation. (Refers to the *act* of creation.)

4.  **Compare the context meaning to the best fit:** The "organizations" are entities (like the Federalist Society, or other law-related groups) that exist and function. Sense 1, "a group of people who work together," is the most direct and accurate definition for a legal/fundraising entity mentioned in this context.

5.  **Select the corresponding number:** Sense 1.

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The context discusses Mitch McConnell, Scalia, Thomas, the Senate, the Federalist Society, ethics rules, the Code of Conduct, and "justices." The specific sentence containing the target word is: "If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, 'A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the <t>judge</t> may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event.'"

3.  **Determine the Role of the Target Word (<t>judge</t>):** In this context, the individuals being discussed (Scalia and Thomas) are referred to as "justices." The rule (Canon 4C) applies to these individuals. Therefore, the word "judge" refers to a judicial official.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice | synonyms=justice, jurist. (This matches the role of Scalia and Thomas.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an authority who is able to estimate worth or quality | synonyms=evaluator. (This refers to judging quality, not holding a judicial office.)

5.  **Select the Correct Sense:** Sense 1 is the correct meaning.

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

Context: In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a <t>speaker</t>, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who expresses in language; someone who talks (especially someone who delivers a public speech or someone especially garrulous) | synonyms=talker, utterer, verbalizer, verbaliser | examples=the speaker at commencement; an utterer of useful maxims
2. definition=electro-acoustic transducer that converts electrical signals into sounds loud enough to be heard at a distance | synonyms=loudspeaker, speaker unit, loudspeaker system, speaker system
3. definition=the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly | examples=the leader of the majority party is the Speaker of the House of Representatives

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The context discusses Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas) attending Federalist Society events. It quotes a rule (Canon 4C) that states: "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a <t>speaker</t>, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word's Usage:** In the phrase "may not be a speaker," the context is about the judge's role at the event. The rule is restricting the judge from having a specific function at the event.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=someone who expresses in language; someone who talks (especially someone who delivers a public speech or someone especially garrulous).
        *   *Fit:* A judge being prohibited from being a "speaker" at an event means they cannot give a speech or address the audience. This fits perfectly.
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=electro-acoustic transducer that converts electrical signals into sounds loud enough to be heard at a distance.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to a physical device (like a loudspeaker). This makes no sense in the context of a judge's role at a dinner/event.
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly.
        *   *Fit:* While "Speaker" can be a presiding officer (e.g., Speaker of the House), the context is about a judge attending an event and being restricted from *speaking* or being *featured*. The restriction is about the *action* (speaking), not the *office* (presiding).

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

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

Senses:

8. definition=a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation | synonyms=programme | examples=the program lasted more than two hours

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "program" in the phrase "featured on the <t>program</t> of such an event." The event is a "fund-raising event of law-related and other organizations."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "program" in this specific context:** When referring to an event (like a dinner or fundraiser), the "program" refers to the list of scheduled activities, speakers, or performances.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. Series of steps/plan (Too broad, usually refers to action/goals).
    *   2. System of projects/services (Public works, social programs - Incorrect).
    *   3. Radio/TV show (Incorrect, this is a physical event).
    *   4. Political document/platform (Incorrect).
    *   5. An announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event (This matches the idea of a schedule or list of featured items at an event).
    *   6. Academic course (Incorrect).
    *   7. Computer instructions (Incorrect).
    *   8. A performance (or series of performances) (While related, Sense 5 is more precise, as the "program" is the *list* or *announcement* of what will happen, not necessarily the performance itself, though they are closely related. Sense 5 specifically mentions "an announcement of the events").
4.  **Compare Sense 5 and Sense 8:**
    *   Sense 5: "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event" (e.g., the printed schedule).
    *   Sense 8: "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation" (e.g., the actual event/show).
5.  **Select the best fit:** Since the context refers to being "featured on the program," it implies being listed or scheduled. This aligns perfectly with Sense 5 (the announcement/schedule).

6.  **Final check:** "featured on the program" means listed in the event schedule/announcement. This is Sense 5.

2. definition=the region close around a person or thing

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses two justices (Scalia and Thomas).

    *   The key phrase is: "Nevertheless, the sheer <t>proximity</t> of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists."
    *   The concern is about potential ethical breaches due to their relationship/closeness to these interested parties.

2.  **Determine the meaning of "case" in this context:**
    *   The context involves justices (Scalia and Thomas), law firms, ethics rules, and a "stunning breach of ethics."
    *   The discussion is about the justices' relationship/proximity to these entities (law firms and a company).
    *   In legal/ethical discussions, when referring to a situation or set of circumstances involving legal actors, "case" often refers to a specific legal matter or a set of circumstances surrounding a legal issue.

    *   Sense 3 ("a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy") fits the legal context perfectly. The law firms are likely involved in a specific legal proceeding or matter (a lawsuit/case).

"This stunning <t>breach</t> of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

Senses:

2. definition=an opening (especially a gap in a dike or fortification)
3. definition=a personal or social separation (as between opposing factions) | synonyms=rupture, break, severance, rift, falling out | examples=they hoped to avoid a break in relations

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

2.  **Analyze the context:** The word "breach" appears in the sentence: "This stunning <t>breach</t> of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "breach" in context:**
    *   The context involves "ethics," "indifference to the code," and the failure of justices to adhere to rules (Canon 4C).
    *   A "breach of ethics" means a violation or failure to meet ethical standards or obligations.

4.  **Analyze the provided senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a failure to perform some promised act or obligation. (This aligns perfectly with violating rules or ethical standards.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an opening (especially a gap in a dike or fortification). (This is a physical gap, irrelevant here.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a personal or social separation (as between opposing factions) | synonyms=rupture, break, severance, rift, falling out. (While related to a "break," the primary meaning here is a violation of a rule/duty, not a social rift.)

5.  **Match the context meaning to the senses:** The "breach of ethics" is a failure to perform the obligation of adhering to ethical rules. This matches Sense 1.

6.  **Formulate the final answer:** The correct number is 1.

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

Context: It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and <t>indifference</t> to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

Senses:
1. definition=unbiased impartial unconcern
2. definition=apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions | synonyms=emotionlessness, impassivity, impassiveness, phlegm, stolidity, unemotionality
3. definition=the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally | synonyms=apathy, numbness, spiritlessness
4. definition=the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern | synonyms=nonchalance, unconcern

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "indifference" appears in the phrase: "This stunning breach of ethics and <t>indifference</t> to the code belies claims..."
2.  **Determine the meaning required by the context:** The context is about justices attending fundraisers and having close ties to law firms involved in cases before the court. The activists are criticizing this behavior as a "stunning breach of ethics and [indifference] to the code."
3.  **Evaluate the relationship between "indifference" and "the code":** If they show "indifference to the code," it means they are not caring about, or not respecting, the rules. They are ignoring the rules despite them existing.
4.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** unbiased, impartial, unconcern. (Focuses on lack of bias/impartiality, often related to judgment.)
    *   **Sense 2:** apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions | synonyms=emotionlessness, impassivity, impassiveness, phlegm, stolidity, unemotionality. (Focuses on internal emotional state/lack of feeling.)
    *   **Sense 3:** the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally | synonyms=apathy, numbness, spiritlessness. (Focuses on general lack of interest/enthusiasm.)
    *   **Sense 4:** the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern | synonyms=nonchalance, unconcern. (Focuses on a casual or outward lack of concern/care.)
5.  **Match the required meaning to the senses:**
    *   "Indifference to the code" means they are not concerned about following the code.
    *   Sense 4 ("a casual lack of concern," "nonchalance," "unconcern") best captures the idea of not caring about a specific rule or standard.
    *   Sense 3 (general lack of enthusiasm) is too broad.
    *   Sense 2 (emotional absence) is too internal and clinical.
    *   Sense 1 (unbiased) is related to judgment, not necessarily the disregard of a rule.
6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the most appropriate fit for "indifference to the code."

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the <t>court</t> abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause.

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/keywords:**

    *   "ethics rules"
    *   "Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices"
    *   "Scalia and Thomas" (Supreme Court justices)
    *   "federal judges"
    *   The context is entirely about judicial ethics and the rules governing judges.

3.  **Determine the meaning of "court" in this context:** "Court" refers to the body of judges (specifically, the Supreme Court, given the mention of Scalia and Thomas) that administers justice.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature. (Matches the meaning of a judicial body/assembly.)
    *   2. definition=a room in which a lawcourt sits | synonyms=courtroom. (Refers to a physical room, not the judicial body.)
    *   3. definition=the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state | synonyms=royal court. (Refers to monarchy/sovereign power.)
    *   4. definition=a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played | examples=players had to reserve a court in advance. (Refers to a sports area.)
    *   5. definition=Australian woman tennis player who won many major championships (born in 1947). (Proper noun.)
    *   6. definition=the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince | synonyms=royal court. (Refers to royal entourage.)

    *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business."
    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws."

    Both 1 and 8 are highly relevant. Sense 8 is perhaps the most comprehensive definition of a judicial body/tribunal. Sense 1 focuses on the "assembly" aspect. Since the context refers to the collective body of justices (the Supreme Court), both fit, but Sense 8 (tribunal/court of law) is the standard definition for the institution itself.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 8 accurately describes the judicial institution (the Supreme Court) that the justices belong to and which is subject to ethical rules.

3.  **Examine the senses provided:**

    *   1. a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation (Matches the idea of governing behavior/regulation).

4.  **Compare the best matches (1 and 3):**
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation"
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript"

    The context specifically refers to the "Code of Conduct" and "ethics rules." These are formal, written, and mandated guidelines.
    *   Sense 1 (regulation) fits well.
