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

Context: But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week. Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term. And it provides a range of options for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate. It gives a lot of flexibility to the process, said John Coequyt, senior Washington representative for the Sierra Club. Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture." It shows the outlines for a possible <t>deal</t>, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050.

Senses:
1. definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | synonyms=trade, business deal | examples=it was a package deal; I had no further trade with him
2. definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | synonyms=bargain | examples=he made a bargain with the devil; he rose to prominence through a series of shady deals
3. definition=(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent | synonyms=batch, flock, good deal, great deal, hatful, heap | examples=a batch of letters; a deal of trouble
4. definition=a plank of softwood (fir or pine board)
5. definition=wood that is easy to saw (from conifers such as pine or fir) | synonyms=softwood
6. definition=the cards held in a card game by a given player at any given time | synonyms=hand | examples=I didn't hold a good hand all evening; he kept trying to see my hand
7. definition=the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement) | examples=he got a good deal on his car
8. definition=the act of distributing playing cards | examples=the deal was passed around the table clockwise
9. definition=the act of apportioning or distributing something | examples=the captain was entrusted with the deal of provisions

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "deal" appears in the sentence: "It shows the outlines for a possible <t>deal</t>, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "deal" in this context:** The context describes a negotiation process ("negotiation that is running out of time," "negotiation text," "policymakers would be willing to tolerate"). The "deal" is the outcome or the proposed agreement resulting from these discussions, specifically regarding emission cuts by various nations.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | synonyms=trade, business deal. (Relates to commerce/transaction.)
    *   2. definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | synonyms=bargain. (Relates to formal agreements/negotiations.)
    *   3. definition=(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent | synonyms=batch, flock, good deal, great deal, hatful, heap. (Relates to quantity.)
    *   4. definition=a plank of softwood (fir or pine board). (Relates to wood.)
    *   5. definition=wood that is easy to saw (from conifers such as pine or fir) | synonyms=softwood. (Relates to wood.)
    *   6. definition=the cards held in a card game by a given player at any given time | synonyms=hand. (Relates to cards.)
    *   7. definition=the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement) | examples=he got a good deal on his car. (Relates to favorable terms/treatment.)

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their <t>emissions</t> by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "emissions" in this context:** The context is about climate change, global warming, carbon output, and international negotiations regarding environmental targets. "Emissions" here refers to the release of gases (like carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) into the atmosphere.
3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth | synonyms=emanation. (This is a general process/act.)
    *   2. definition=a substance that is emitted or released | synonyms=discharge. (This refers to the *thing* being released, e.g., pollutants, gases.)
    *   3. definition=the release of electrons from parent atoms. (This is a highly specific scientific/physics definition, usually related to radiation.)
    *   4. definition=any of several bodily processes by which substances go out of the body | synonyms=discharge, expelling | examples=the discharge of pus. (This is a biological/medical definition.)
    *   5. definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe). (This is a hydraulic definition.)
4.  **Match the context meaning to the senses:**
    *   The context refers to the *quantity* of gases (carbon output) that nations must reduce. These gases are the *substances* being released into the atmosphere.
    *   Sense 2 ("a substance that is emitted or released") fits perfectly, as the emissions are the greenhouse gases (a substance).
    *   While Sense 1 (the act of emitting) is related, the phrase "cut their emissions" refers to reducing the *amount* of the substance (the gases), not just the act itself.
    *   Sense 3, 4, and 5 are clearly incorrect.
5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "emissions" in the context of climate change and carbon output.

Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050.

Senses:
1. definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | synonyms=degree, grade | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence; a high level of care is required
2. definition=a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | synonyms=grade, tier | examples=lumber of the highest grade
3. definition=a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process | synonyms=degree, stage, point | examples=a remarkable degree of frankness; at what stage are the social sciences?
4. definition=height above ground | examples=the water reached ankle level; the pictures were at the same level
5. definition=indicator that establishes the horizontal when a bubble is centered in a tube of liquid | synonyms=spirit level
6. definition=a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line | synonyms=horizontal surface | examples=park the car on the level
7. definition=an abstract place usually conceived as having depth | synonyms=layer, stratum | examples=a good actor communicates on several levels; a simile has at least two layers of meaning
8. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | synonyms=floor, storey, story | examples=what level is the office on?

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "compared with 1990 <t>levels</t>".
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text:** The text discusses emissions reduction targets ("cut their carbon output," "cut their emissions"). The reduction is measured as a percentage ("25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels").
3.  **Determine the meaning of "levels" in this context:** "Levels" refers to the amount or quantity of emissions in 1990, which serves as a baseline for comparison.
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | synonyms=degree, grade | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence; a high level of care is required. (Matches: Emissions are a measure of amount/intensity.)
    *   2. definition=a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | synonyms=grade, tier | examples=lumber of the highest grade. (Less likely; it's a baseline amount, not a ranking.)
    *   3. definition=a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process | synonyms=degree, stage, point | examples=a remarkable degree of frankness; at what stage are the social sciences? (Possible, but Sense 1 is more direct for measuring quantity.)
    *   4. definition=height above ground | examples=the water reached ankle level; the pictures were at the same level. (Incorrect; refers to height.)
    *   5. definition=indicator that establishes the horizontal when a bubble is centered in a tube of liquid | synonyms=spirit level. (Incorrect; refers to a tool.)
    *   6. definition=a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line | synonyms=horizontal surface | examples=park the car on the level. (Incorrect; refers to flatness.)
    *   7. definition=an abstract place usually conceived as having depth | synonyms=layer, stratum | examples=a good actor communicates on several levels; a simile has at least two layers of meaning. (Incorrect; refers to abstract depth/layers.)
    *   8. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | synonyms=floor, storey, story | examples=what level is the office on? (Incorrect; refers to building floors.)
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1, "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality," perfectly captures the idea of a baseline amount (the level of emissions) used for comparison.

6.  **Final check:** "1990 levels" = the amount/quantity of emissions in 1990. This aligns with Sense 1.

7. definition=a punctuation mark (.) placed at the end of a declarative sentence to indicate a full stop or after abbreviations | synonyms=point, full stop, stop, full point | examples=in England they call a period a stop

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "period" appears in the sentence: "...while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same <t>period</t> by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "period" in this specific context:** The sentence discusses emission reduction targets for developing countries, comparing them to the targets set for industrial nations (which are tied to 1990 levels and a 2020 deadline). The phrase "during the same period" refers to the timeframe or duration over which the developing countries must achieve their reduction targets.

3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. definition=an amount of time | synonyms=time period, period of time | examples=a time period of 30 years; hastened the period of time of his recovery
    *   2. definition=the interval taken to complete one cycle of a regularly repeating phenomenon

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
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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Together, the <t>countries</t> would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text:** The text discusses climate change, global warming, U.N. working groups, rich countries giving money to poor ones, developed economies, major emerging economies, industrial nations, and major developing countries.
3.  **Determine the meaning of "countries" in this context:** Here, "countries" refers to sovereign political entities (nations/states) that are participating in international climate negotiations and are responsible for setting and meeting emission reduction targets.
4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   **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.** (This matches the concept of sovereign political entities involved in global policy.)
    *   **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.** (While related, the focus here is on the *actors* (the nations/states), not just the physical territory.)
    *   **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.** (This refers to the population, not the political entities themselves.)
    *   **4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country.** (This is the geographical/rural sense, irrelevant here.)
    *   **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.** (This is a regional/geographical sense, too vague for the specific political context.)
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1, which defines a politically organized body (state/nation), is the most accurate fit for "countries" in the context of international climate policy and emission targets.

2.  **Determine the meaning of "emissions" in this context:** The context is about global warming, climate change, industrial nations, and reducing carbon output. Therefore, "emissions" refers to the release of greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth | synonyms=emanation. (This is a general act/process.)
    *   2. definition=a substance that is emitted or released | synonyms=discharge. (This refers to the *material* being released.)

    *   5. definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe). (This is related to plumbing/hydraulics.)
4.  **Match the context meaning to the best sense:**
    *   The context refers to the *output* of gases (like CO2) from industrial processes.
    *   Sense 2 ("a substance that is emitted or released") fits perfectly, as the emissions are the gases themselves (a substance).
    *   Sense 1 ("the act of emitting") could also be argued, but when discussing "cutting emissions" (a measurable quantity), the focus is on the *substance* being reduced.
    *   Sense 3, 4, and 5 are clearly incorrect.
5.  **Refine the choice between 1 and 2:** In environmental science and climate policy, "emissions" (e.g., CO2 emissions) refers to the *quantity* of the released substance. Sense 2, "a substance that is emitted or released," is the most precise definition for the material being regulated and reduced in this climate context.

6.  **Final selection:** Sense 2.

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

Context: And it provides a range of options for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate. It gives a lot of flexibility to the process, said John Coequyt, senior Washington representative for the Sierra Club. Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture." It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer <t>countries</t> adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week.

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
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
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
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
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 sentence containing the target word is: "The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer <t>countries</t> adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "countries" in this context:** The context discusses climate change, adaptation, financial aid ($3.6 billion), and the difference between "poorer" countries and others. This usage refers to sovereign political entities or nations that are economically disadvantaged and need help dealing with climate impacts.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **Sense 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. (Matches the idea of a sovereign political entity/nation.)
    *   **Sense 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. (Refers to the physical landmass, not the political entity receiving aid.)
    *   **Sense 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. (Refers to the inhabitants/population.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country. (Refers to the countryside/rural setting.)
    *   **Sense 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. (Refers to a defined region, but Sense 1 is more precise for the political/economic context of aid.)

4.  **Select the best fit:** The phrase "poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change" clearly refers to sovereign nations (political bodies) that are economically vulnerable. Sense 1, which defines "country" as a "politically organized body of people under a single government" (synonyms: state, nation), is the most accurate fit.

5.  **Final check:** The context is about international aid and climate policy, which deals with sovereign states/nations. Sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "flood" appears in the phrase: "...to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with <t>flood</t> and drought to avoiding deforestation."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding concepts:** The context discusses the impacts of climate change, specifically mentioning "drought" and "deforestation." These are environmental/climatic issues.

3.  **Determine the meaning of "flood" in this context:** When discussing climate change impacts alongside drought, "flood" refers to excessive water, specifically the rising of water bodies or excessive rainfall leading to inundation.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=the rising of a body of water and its overflowing onto normally dry land | synonyms=inundation, deluge, alluvion | examples=plains fertilized by annual inundations (Matches the environmental/climatic meaning of excessive water.)
    *   2. definition=an overwhelming number or amount | synonyms=inundation, deluge, torrent | examples=a flood of requests; a torrent of abuse (Refers to quantity/amount, not water.)
    *   3. definition=light that is a source of artificial illumination having a broad beam; used in photography | synonyms=floodlight, flood lamp, photoflood (Refers to light.)
    *   4. definition=a large flow | synonyms=overflow, outpouring (Could potentially fit, but Sense 1 is more specific to the *impact* of climate change.)
    *   5. definition=the act of flooding; filling to overflowing | synonyms=flowage (Focuses on the *act*, but Sense 1 describes the *event*.)
    *   6. definition=the occurrence of incoming water (between a low tide and the following high tide); -Shakespeare | synonyms=flood tide, rising tide | examples=a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune (Refers specifically to tides, which is too narrow for general climate change impacts.)

5.  **Select the best match:** Sense 1 ("the rising of a body of water and its overflowing onto normally dry land") perfectly captures the meaning of "flood" as a climate change impact, contrasting appropriately with "drought."

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

Senses:
1. definition=a shortage of rainfall | synonyms=drouth | examples=farmers most affected by the drought hope that there may yet be sufficient rain early in the growing season
2. definition=a prolonged shortage | synonyms=drouth | examples=when England defeated Pakistan it ended a ten-year drought

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The relevant phrase is: "...to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and <t>drought</t> to avoiding deforestation."

3.  **Analyze the Word "Drought" in Context:**
    *   The context lists "flood" and "drought" as examples of "impacts of climate change" that poorer countries need to adapt to.
    *   Floods and droughts are natural disasters/weather events related to water availability.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a shortage of rainfall | synonyms=drouth | examples=farmers most affected by the drought hope that there may yet be sufficient rain early in the growing season. (Focuses on lack of rain, typical agricultural/weather context).
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a prolonged shortage | synonyms=drouth | examples=when England defeated Pakistan it ended a ten-year drought. (Focuses on a long period of shortage, often used in historical/political/long-term context, though it can apply to weather).

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   When "drought" is listed alongside "flood" as a climate impact, it refers to a period of insufficient precipitation (lack of rain).
    *   Sense 1 ("a shortage of rainfall") perfectly matches this meaning.
    *   Sense 2 ("a prolonged shortage") is too general and the example provided (a ten-year drought ending after a sporting event) is highly unusual and irrelevant to the climate context.

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

Context: Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture." It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas <t>emissions</t> for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth | synonyms=emanation
2. definition=a substance that is emitted or released | synonyms=discharge
3. definition=the release of electrons from parent atoms
4. definition=any of several bodily processes by which substances go out of the body | synonyms=discharge, expelling | examples=the discharge of pus
5. definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe)

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "emissions" (greenhouse-gas emissions). The context discusses climate change, industrial nations, developing countries, and "binding cuts" of these substances.
2.  **Determine the meaning of "emissions" in this context:** Here, "emissions" refers to the gases (like CO2, methane) that are released into the atmosphere by human activities (industrial processes, energy use, etc.).
3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth | synonyms=emanation. (This is the *process* or *act*.)
    *   2. definition=a substance that is emitted or released | synonyms=discharge. (This refers to the *thing* that is released.)
    *   3. definition=the release of electrons from parent atoms. (Specific scientific/physics context, usually related to radiation.)
    *   4. definition=any of several bodily processes by which substances go out of the body | synonyms=discharge, expelling. (Biological/medical context.)
    *   5. definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe). (Plumbing/hydrology context.)
4.  **Match the context meaning to the best sense:** The context refers to the *greenhouse gases* themselves (the substances) that are being cut.
    *   Sense 2 ("a substance that is emitted or released") fits perfectly, as greenhouse gases are the substances being discussed and regulated.
    *   While Sense 1 (the act of emitting) is related, the phrase "cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions" refers to reducing the *amount* of the substance.
5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   **1. definition=the act of deciding to do something | examples=he didn't make a move to help; his first move was to hire a lawyer.** This sense relates to a strategic action or decision (a political/diplomatic "move"). This fits the context perfectly.

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

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