Target lemma: plane
Target surface form: planes
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. 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 <t>planes</t> 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 proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "meetings" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around international climate negotiations happening in Copenhagen, involving various countries and officials. It mentions high-level officials participating in closed-door meetings and news conferences.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "meetings," which is a noun form related to the verb "to meet." The context suggests that these are gatherings or conferences of some sort.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=meeting%1:14:00::**: This defines a "meeting" as a formally arranged gathering. The context supports this, as it talks about high-level officials in "closed-door meetings," indicating a formal arrangement.
   - **2. sense_key=meeting%1:14:01::**: This refers to a small informal social gathering. The context does not support this, as the meetings mentioned are formal and involve high-level officials.
   - **3. sense_key=meeting%1:11:00::**: This is about a casual or unexpected convergence. The context does not fit this description because the meetings are not casual or unexpected.
   - **4. sense_key=meeting%1:04:00::**: This defines the social act of assembling for some common purpose. While this could apply, it's more abstract than the first sense.
   - **5. sense_key=meeting%1:04:02::**: This refers to the act of joining together as one. The context doesn't directly support this interpretation, as it doesn't discuss the act of joining together but rather gatherings.
   - **6. sense_key=meeting%1:15:00::**: This is about a place where things merge or flow together, which doesn't fit the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "meetings" refers to formally arranged gatherings, specifically in the context of international negotiations and conferences.
   - The first sense (sense_key=meeting%1:14:00::) matches this interpretation perfectly, with examples like "next year the meeting will be in Chicago" supporting the notion of formally arranged gatherings.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "meetings" in the given context is the first one, which corresponds to a formally arranged gathering.

Therefore, the JSON response is: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "claims" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "High-level officials... 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 key phrase here is "stake out claims." This idiom typically means to assert or establish a right or position, often in a context where there is competition or negotiation.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)" - This sense fits well with the context of negotiating or competing for something, such as positions or rights in a treaty negotiation.
2. "an assertion that something is true or factual" - While this sense could potentially fit in some contexts, it doesn't directly relate to the idiom "stake out claims" as used here.
3. "demand for something as rightful or due" - This sense is plausible because "stake out claims" can be understood as demanding or asserting a rightful or due position.
4. and 5. "an informal right to something" and "an established or recognized right" - Both of these senses relate to the concept of having a right or title to something, but they don't directly fit the action of "staking out" something.
6. "a demand especially in the phrase" - This sense is not directly relevant as it refers to a different idiom ("the call of duty").

The phrase "stake out claims" is most closely related to asserting or establishing a right or position, which aligns with sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)". The context of high-level officials negotiating and positioning themselves for future arbitration supports this interpretation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "claims" in this context is sense 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "gathering" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a large event, likely the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, where numerous delegates, officials, and activists are gathering. The description highlights the scale and intensity of the event, mentioning the number of people involved, the activities taking place, and the significance of the discussions happening there.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "gathering" is used in the context of describing the event. The sentence mentions "the sheer sprawl of the gathering" and elaborates on its characteristics, such as the number of people moving in and out of the convention center and the activities happening there.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. gathering%1:14:00::**: This sense refers to "a group of persons together in one place" with the synonym "assemblage". The context supports this interpretation as it describes a large number of people (13,000) moving in and out of a convention center.
   - **2. gathering%1:04:00::**: This sense is about "the social act of assembling" with synonyms "assembly, assemblage". While this could apply, it's more about the act of coming together rather than the group itself.
   - **3. gathering%1:04:01::**: This refers to "the act of gathering something" with the synonym "gather". The context doesn't directly support this interpretation as it doesn't discuss collecting or gathering something.
   - **4. gathering%1:06:00::**: This sense relates to a sewing technique, which is clearly unrelated to the context provided.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context clearly describes a large event with many people, focusing on the event as a whole rather than the act of people coming together or any other activity.
   - Sense 1 ("a group of persons together in one place") fits well as it directly refers to the collective presence of people in one location, aligning with the description of the event.
   - The use of "the sheer sprawl of the gathering" suggests that "gathering" refers to the assembly or assemblage of people, which matches the definition of sense 1.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "gathering" is the first one, which corresponds to the description of a group of people assembled in one place.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

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 <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.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "countries" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about international climate negotiations and talks involving various nations, particularly focusing on the vulnerability of certain countries to climate change and their push for a legally binding treaty. The term "countries" is used in reference to political entities participating in these negotiations.

Let's examine the candidate 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"
   - This sense refers to countries as political entities, which fits the context of international negotiations and political deals.

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"
   - This sense focuses on the geographical territory of a nation.

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 sense refers to the population or citizens of a country.

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 sense is unrelated to the context as it refers to rural areas.

5. **Definition: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary**
   - Synonyms: area
   - Examples: "it was a mountainous area; Bible country"
   - This sense is also not directly relevant as it refers to a region without clear boundaries.

Given the context, "countries" is used to refer to political entities or nations participating in climate change negotiations. The most relevant sense is the first one, which defines a country as "a politically organized body of people under a single government." This aligns with the usage in the context, where countries are discussed in terms of their political actions and roles in international negotiations.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "countries" in the given context is the first sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "intensity" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about a climate conference in Copenhagen where there's a growing presence of high-level officials and government heads, indicating an increasing level of seriousness, urgency, and possibly tension or activity. The sentence with the target word is: "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."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation)" with synonyms like "strength" and "intensity level." While this sense is related to a form of intensity, it is more specific to physical or scientific contexts, such as sound or radiation levels.

2. The second sense is defined as "high level or degree; the property of being intense" with a synonym "intensiveness." This sense is more general and can apply to various contexts where something is becoming more severe, serious, or extreme.

3. The third sense relates to "the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction)" with synonyms like "volume" and "loudness." This is specific to the context of sound.

4. The fourth sense is about "chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue" with synonyms like "saturation," "chroma," and "vividness." This is related to color.

Given the context, the word "intensity" is used to describe the atmosphere or the level of activity and seriousness at the conference. It is not specifically about sound levels, color vividness, or the amount of energy transmitted. Instead, it refers to the general level or degree of the situation becoming more serious or extreme, which aligns with the second sense: "high level or degree; the property of being intense."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "intensity" in this context is the second one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "ministers" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses an international climate negotiation event involving various countries, including small island nations, China, and India. It mentions high-level officials such as "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister" and notes that nearly all of the key "ministers" are present at the event, alongside heads of government.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "ministers," which is a plural form of "minister." The context suggests that these individuals are high-ranking government officials involved in significant international negotiations.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to a person authorized to conduct religious worship. The context does not support this interpretation as the discussion is about government officials and international negotiations, not religious activities.
   - **Sense 2**: Defines a person appointed to a high office in the government. The mention of "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" aligns with this definition, indicating that "ministers" here refers to government officials.
   - **Sense 3**: Describes a diplomat representing one government to another, ranking below ambassador. While the individuals mentioned are involved in international negotiations, the text does not specifically indicate they are diplomats representing their governments in the capacity described.
   - **Sense 4**: Refers to the job of a head of a government department. This sense is related to the role or position rather than the person holding it.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "ministers" refers to high-ranking government officials involved in significant international negotiations.
   - The specific mention of "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh" supports the interpretation that "ministers" are government officials with significant roles, aligning with **Sense 2**.
   - The presence of heads of government and the description of the event as involving high-level officials further supports this interpretation.

Given the analysis, the best indexed sense for "ministers" in the provided context is **Sense 2**, as it accurately describes the role of the individuals mentioned (e.g., "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh").

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "policy" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about international climate negotiations and a gathering in Copenhagen where high-level officials and ministers are discussing and making decisions on climate issues. The sentence where "policy" appears is: "We're getting into the big leagues, said Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, vice president for global policy at Conservation International."

1. The first sense defines "policy" as "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group." This sense is plausible because it refers to a course of action, which could be related to the work of Conservation International, an organization likely involved in environmental or conservation issues.

2. The second sense defines "policy" as "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government." While this could relate to government actions or decisions, the context provided doesn't directly imply that "policy" here refers to a government's course of action or argument rationalizing it.

3. The third sense defines "policy" as a "written contract or certificate of insurance." This is clearly unrelated to the context, as there's no discussion of insurance contracts.

Given the context, Carlos Manuel Rodriguez is described as the vice president for global policy at Conservation International. The term "global policy" here is likely referring to the plans or courses of action adopted by the organization regarding global issues, which aligns with the first sense: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group." Conservation International is an organization that would have policies or plans of action on global issues like climate change, conservation, etc.

Therefore, the best sense for "policy" in this context is the first one.

Target lemma: heavyweight
Target surface form: heavyweights
Context:
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 proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "heavyweights" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a high-level international gathering related to environmental issues, involving numerous delegates, ministers, and heads of government. The context emphasizes the importance and the high-stakes nature of the event.

2. **Target Word Context**: The sentence where "heavyweights" appears is: "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. We're getting into the big leagues, said Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, vice president for global policy at Conservation International. The heavyweights are coming." Here, "heavyweights" is used metaphorically to refer to important individuals.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - Senses 1, 2, and 3 relate to boxing or wrestling, referring to athletes in specific weight categories. These are literal interpretations and do not fit the context of the passage, which is about international diplomacy and environmental issues.
   - Sense 4 refers to a very large person or something impressive in size or qualities. While it could metaphorically apply to important individuals, it's more focused on size or physical presence rather than the influence or reputation.
   - Sense 5 defines "heavyweight" as a person of exceptional importance and reputation, with synonyms like "colossus," "behemoth," "giant," and "titan." This sense aligns with the context, as it refers to influential individuals (key ministers and heads of government) attending the event.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Given the context and the metaphorical use of "heavyweights" to denote influential and important individuals (heads of government and key ministers), the most appropriate sense is the one that aligns with the definition of a person of exceptional importance and reputation.

5. **Indexed Sense Selection**: The definition in sense 5 matches the usage in the context. The synonyms provided (colossus, behemoth, giant, titan) also support this interpretation, as they all convey a sense of significant influence or power.

6. **Returning the Answer**: The sense key for the definition of "a person of exceptional importance and reputation" is associated with the index that corresponds to this definition. The correct indexed sense is **5**.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 5}

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=israel%1:15:00:: | definition=Jewish republic in southwestern Asia at eastern end of Mediterranean; formerly part of Palestine | synonyms=State of Israel, Yisrael, Zion, Sion
2. sense_key=israel%1:15:01:: | definition=an ancient kingdom of the Hebrew tribes at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean Sea; founded by Saul around 1025 BC and destroyed by the Assyrians in 721 BC

1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
To determine the correct sense of the word "Israel" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context is about a sports event involving "Caja Laboral" (now known as Baskonia) and "Maccabee Electra." The mention of "Maccabee Electra court" is crucial because it directly relates to a sports team, specifically Maccabi Tel Aviv, which is a well-known Israeli basketball team that plays in the EuroLeague. The event took place in Israel, as indicated by the phrase "on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court," suggesting that Caja Laboral traveled to Israel to play against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to the "State of Israel," a modern country established in 1948. This sense is related to the contemporary geopolitical entity.
2. The second sense refers to an "ancient kingdom of the Hebrew tribes," which is a historical or biblical reference.

Given the context of a basketball game and a team named "Maccabee Electra" (clearly related to Maccabi Tel Aviv), the reference to "Israel" is to the country where the game took place, not to an ancient historical entity.

Therefore, the best sense for "Israel" in this context is the modern country, which corresponds to the first candidate sense.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "performance" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about a basketball team's victory and specifically highlights the great performance by a player, Mizra Teltovic, who scored 29 points with eight three-pointers. The focus is on the accomplishment or achievement of the player during the game.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "a dramatic or musical entertainment," which doesn't fit the context of a basketball game.
2. The second sense is about "the act of presenting a play or a piece of music or other entertainment." While this involves a form of performance, it's more related to artistic performances rather than sports.
3. The third sense refers to "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it." This could potentially apply to a sports context, as it involves achieving something successfully.
4. The fourth sense is "any recognized accomplishment." Given that Teltovic's achievement (scoring 29 points with eight three-pointers) is highlighted as a notable feat, this sense seems highly relevant.
5. The fifth sense discusses "process or manner of functioning or operating," which is more about the general operation or functioning of something, like a machine or a system.

Considering the context and the examples provided for each sense, the most appropriate sense for "performance" in this context is related to an achievement or accomplishment, specifically in the context of sports.

Teltovic's action is described as a "great performance," indicating it's about his achievement during the game. Thus, the best fit is the sense that aligns with "any recognized accomplishment."

The sense that matches this description is the fourth sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "performance" is 4.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "team" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a sports event involving "Caja Laboral" (Baskonia) and "Maccabee Electra," mentioning a victory, a coach ("Dusko Ivanovic"), players ("Mizra Teltovic"), and terms like "three-pointers scored" and "group." This context is clearly related to basketball or sports in general.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" with a synonym "squad." This definition aligns well with the context provided, as the passage talks about a sports team and its performance.
   - **Sense 2**: "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something." This definition is related to animals used for labor, which does not fit the context of the passage.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given that the context is about sports and a "team" is mentioned in relation to players and a competition, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. The term "squad" is also used in sports to refer to a team, further supporting this choice.
   - The passage does not mention animals or any context related to draft animals, making **Sense 2** irrelevant.

4. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "team" in the given context is **1**.
