    *   **3. definition=relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society | examples=made fun of her being so social and high-toned; a social gossip colum.** (Refers to elite/upper class; incorrect.)
    *   **4. definition=composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability | examples=a purely social club; the church has a large social hall.** (Refers to being friendly/designed for interaction; incorrect.)

3.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** The phrase is "left to right."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "left to right" in this context:** In a list of speakers (or people arranged in a line/sequence), "left to right" refers to the order in which they are presented or positioned. This is a directional/spatial arrangement.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=location near or direction toward the left side; i.e. the side to the north when a person or object faces east | examples=she stood on the left:** This sense deals with general spatial direction/location.

7.  **Final Check:** "Left to right" is a directional description of order, matching the general directional nature of Sense 1.

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The phrase is: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission..."
    *   The surrounding text describes a conference on social exclusion, public welfare, and social partners (like the European Commission).
    *   The structure suggests that "Employment" is likely a title, a department name, or a specific role/area of expertise associated with Cristina Louro.
    *   The full title seems to be: "Cristina Louro, [Title/Department: Employment], Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission."

3.  **Analyze the Senses of "Employment":**
    *   **Sense 1:** The state of being employed or having a job (e.g., *He is in employment.*).
    *   **Sense 2:** The occupation for which you are paid (e.g., *His employment is as a lawyer.*).
    *   **Sense 3:** The act of giving someone a job (e.g., *The act of employment.*).
    *   **Sense 4:** The act of using (e.g., *The employment of resources.*).

4.  **Determine the Correct Sense in Context:**
    *   When "Employment" is used as a department name or a field of study/focus (like "Employment Directorate" or "Employment Policy"), it refers to the *area* or *state* of having jobs, or the *system* of work.
    *   In the context of a European Commission Directorate, "Employment" refers to the policy area dealing with jobs, labor markets, and working conditions. This aligns best with the concept of "the state of being employed or having a job" (Sense 1), or the general concept of the labor market.
    *   *Check against Sense 1:* "The state of being employed or having a job." (Fits the policy area context).
    *   *Check against Sense 2:* "The occupation for which you are paid." (This would be a specific job title, not a Directorate name).
    *   *Check against Sense 3:* "The act of giving someone a job." (Too specific and active for a department name).
    *   *Check against Sense 4:* "The act of using." (Irrelevant to labor policy).

5.  **Conclusion:** The use of "Employment" as part of a formal title/directorate name in a social policy context refers to the field or state of being employed. This matches Sense 1.

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The word "Industrial" appears in the phrase: "Cristina Louro, Employment, <t>Industrial</t> Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission..."

3.  **Determine the Meaning in Context:** "Industrial Relations" refers to the relationship between employers and employees (labor relations, trade union activity, management practices) within the context of the workplace and the economy.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=of or relating to or resulting from industry | examples=industrial output. (Relates to the *process* or *products* of industry.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=having highly developed industries | examples=the industrial revolution; an industrial nation. (Relates to the *level* of development.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=employed in industry | examples=the industrial classes; industrial work. (Relates to the *people* or *labor* within the industry.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=suitable to stand up to hard wear | examples=industrial carpeting. (Relates to *durability*.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Sense:** "Industrial Relations" is a field of study/practice dealing with the relationship between labor and capital, which is fundamentally tied to the *workplace* and the *labor force* within the economic system. While it relates to industry (Sense 1), the specific term "Industrial Relations" is a specialized term for the *labor* aspect of industry.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Does "Industrial Relations" fit better under Sense 1 (relating to industry) or Sense 3 (employed in industry/labor)?
    *   Sense 1: "Of or relating to industry." This is the broadest and most accurate fit for the *field* of study. Industrial Relations *is* a field relating to industry.
    *   Sense 3: "Employed in industry." This usually refers to the workers themselves (e.g., "industrial workers"). While relations involve workers, the term "Industrial Relations" refers to the *system* or *relationship*, not the people.

6.  **Re-evaluating the Options based on common usage:** In standard lexicography, "Industrial Relations" falls under the category of being "relating to industry" (Sense 1). It describes the structure and dynamics *of* the industrial sector.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit. (Of or relating to industry).

    *   6. a formal statement of a command or injunction... (charge, direction)
    *   7. an official document issued by a government... (military commission)
    *   8. the act of committing a crime... (committing a crime)
    *   9. a special assignment that is given to a person or group (synonyms: mission, charge)
4.  **Match the meaning to the senses:**
    *   The European Commission functions as a governing/administrative body or a group of representatives/delegates tasked with specific functions (like employment, industrial relations, etc.).
    *   Sense 1 ("a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee") fits perfectly. The European Commission is essentially a large, delegated committee/body.
    *   Sense 5 ("a group of representatives or delegates") also fits very well, as the Commission is composed of representatives.
    *   Sense 9 ("a special assignment that is given to a person or group") refers more to the *task* (a mission), not the *body* itself.

5.  **Refine the choice between 1 and 5:**
    *   Sense 1 uses the synonym "committee," which is a very common way to refer to such a body.
    *   Sense 5 uses "group of representatives or delegates."
    *   In the context of international organizations, "Commission" often functions as a formal, high-level committee or body (Sense 1). Since Sense 1 explicitly includes "committee" as a synonym and describes it as a "special group delegated to consider some matter," it is the most precise fit for a large, institutional body like the European Commission.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

    *   These initiatives are examples of *social units* (programs, policies, practices) within a larger social/economic system.
    *   The goal is an "in depth" analysis of how these specific policies/practices function (i.e., what factors led to their success or failure in improving worker development).

    *   *Check Sense 1:* Does it fit? Yes. The initiatives/policies are the "social unit" being studied to determine factors of success/failure.
    *   *Check Sense 2:* Does it fit? While the *workers* are people, the focus of the "case study" is the *initiative/policy* itself, not the individual workers' psychological state or personal history (though the policy affects them). Sense 1 is a better fit for studying a *program* or *policy* as a unit.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate definition for studying specific policies/practices (initiatives) as a unit to understand their effectiveness.

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

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

Context: The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services. The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included. Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee. Case Studies Each <t>national</t> report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community. For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country | examples=national hero; national anthem
2. definition=limited to or in the interests of a particular nation | examples=national interests; isolationism is a strictly national policy
3. definition=concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country | examples=the national government; national elections
4. definition=owned or maintained for the public by the national government | examples=national parks
5. definition=inside the country | synonyms=home, interior, internal | examples=the British Home Office has broader responsibilities than the United States Department of the Interior; the nation's internal politics
6. definition=characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation | examples=a national trait
7. definition=of or relating to nationality | examples=national origin

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context sentence:** "Each <t>national</t> report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "national" in this specific context:** The reports are being discussed in the context of a comparative study across fifteen European countries. The phrase "Each national report" implies that there is a specific report originating from or pertaining to each individual country being studied.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses against the determined meaning:**

    *   **1. definition=of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country | examples=national hero; national anthem:** This fits well. The report belongs to/is produced by a specific nation/country.
    *   **2. definition=limited to or in the interests of a particular nation | examples=national interests; isolationism is a strictly national policy:** While reports *can* be about national interests, the structure "Each national report" here refers to the origin or scope of the document, not necessarily its political limitation. Sense 1 is a better fit for the document itself.
    *   **3. definition=concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country | examples=the national government; national elections:** This is also a strong candidate. The report is concerned with policies and practices applicable to that entire country.
    *   **4. definition=owned or maintained for the public by the national government | examples=national parks:** Incorrect. The reports are not parks or public assets in this sense.
    *   **5. definition=inside the country | synonyms=home, interior, internal | examples=the British Home Office...:** Incorrect. The reports are not merely internal documents; they represent the country's policies.
    *   **6. definition=characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation | examples=a national trait:** Incorrect. The report is a document, not a trait.
    *   **7. definition=of or relating to nationality | examples=national origin:** This is related, but Sense 1 and 3 are more precise for describing a document originating from or pertaining to a country.

4.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country." (Focus on origin/belonging).
    *   Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country." (Focus on scope/applicability).

    In the context of a comparative study where reports are being collected from different countries, "Each national report" most strongly implies that the report *belongs to* or *originates from* that specific country (Sense 1). While the content is certainly applicable to the country (Sense 3), the primary function of the adjective here is to identify the source/origin of the document in the comparative context.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 provides the most direct and accurate interpretation of "Each national report" in this comparative context.
