Target lemma: organization
Target surface form: organizations
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 <t>organizations</t> 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.

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

The context is discussing the attendance of Supreme Court justices at events organized by certain groups or entities, specifically mentioning the Federalist Society and the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. The sentence in question talks about justices attending fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A group of people who work together.
2. An organized structure for arranging or classifying.
3. The persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something.
4. The act of organizing a business or an activity related to a business.
5. An ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized.
6. The activity or result of distributing or disposing persons or things properly or methodically.
7. The act of forming or establishing something.

The context suggests that "organizations" refers to entities or groups that can host fund-raising events, which are likely to be structured bodies with a purpose or mission, such as the Federalist Society.

Sense 1 ("a group of people who work together") fits this context well as it directly refers to entities that can host events.

Sense 3 ("the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something") could also be considered, but it leans more towards the administrative aspect within an organization rather than the organization as a whole.

The most relevant sense here is Sense 1, as "organizations" clearly refers to groups or entities (like the Federalist Society) that are capable of hosting events.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "organizations" in the given context is Sense 1.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending a dinner event organized by the Federalist Society, where notable figures like Mitch McConnell were present. It mentions that justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs lower federal justices and references a specific canon related to judges attending fund-raising events.

2. **Target Word Analysis**: The target word is "judge." The context in which "judge" is used is crucial. The sentence mentions "the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event," directly referencing the Code of Conduct's Canon 4C.

3. **Sense Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice." Synonyms include "justice" and "jurist." The context involves Supreme Court justices, which aligns with this definition.
   - **Sense 2**: "an authority who is able to estimate worth or quality." The synonym provided is "evaluator." While a judge can be considered an evaluator in a broad sense, the specific context here relates more directly to the role of justices in the legal system.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The passage directly refers to "justices" (Scalia and Thomas) and discusses their actions in the context of legal and ethical rules governing their behavior.
   - The use of "judge" in Canon 4C of the Code of Conduct refers to the role of justices or judges in the judicial system, directly corresponding to **Sense 1**.
   - The context does not focus on the evaluative role of a judge in a broad or abstract sense but rather on their specific professional role and the ethical guidelines surrounding it.

Given the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "judge" is **Sense 1**, as it directly relates to a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice.

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

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

The context is discussing the attendance of justices Scalia and Thomas at Federalist Society events and the ethical implications of their presence, particularly in relation to a specific case involving law firms and a company with financial interests. The sentence containing the target word is: "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."

1. The first candidate sense defines a "speaker" as someone who expresses in language, especially someone who delivers a public speech or is garrulous. The synonyms include "talker," "utterer," "verbalizer," and "verbaliser." The example given is "the speaker at commencement." This sense fits the context because being a "speaker" at a fund-raising event implies delivering a speech or address, which aligns with the activities typically associated with such events.

2. The second candidate sense refers to an "electro-acoustic transducer that converts electrical signals into sounds loud enough to be heard at a distance," with synonyms like "loudspeaker," "speaker unit," "loudspeaker system," and "speaker system." This definition is related to audio equipment, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence discussing judicial conduct at events.

3. The third candidate sense defines "speaker" as the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly, with an example being "the Speaker of the House of Representatives." While this is a significant role, the context provided doesn't relate to the presiding officer of an assembly but rather to the role of a person speaking at an event.

Given the context, the most appropriate definition of "speaker" is the first one, as it refers to someone who delivers a public speech or address, which is relevant to the context of attending and participating in fund-raising events.

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

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

The context is about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending Federalist Society events, and the mention of being "featured on the program of such an event" in relation to Canon 4C of the Code of Conduct. The relevant sentence is: "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."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished.
2. A system of projects or services intended to meet a public need.
3. A radio or television show.
4. A document stating the aims and principles of a political party.
5. An announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event.
6. An integrated course of academic studies.
7. A sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute.
8. A performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation.

The context suggests that "program" refers to an event or a list of events or participants in an event. The sentence implies that being "featured on the program" is related to being highlighted or prominently included in an event, likely a fundraising dinner or gathering.

Sense 5, "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event," fits this context well because it refers to a list or schedule of events or participants, which is likely what "program" refers to in the given sentence. Fundraising events, like dinners, often have a program that outlines the sequence of events, speakers, or honored guests.

Therefore, the best sense for "program" in this context is related to an announcement or listing of events or participants.

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

The context is about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending Federalist Society events and the ethical implications thereof. The specific sentence with the target word is: "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."

1. The first candidate sense defines "event" as "something that happens at a given place and time." The context refers to "fund-raising events," which are occurrences or happenings at specific places and times, fitting this definition.

2. The second sense defines "event" as "a special set of circumstances" with synonyms like "case." While this could potentially fit in some contexts, the specific use here refers to a happening or occurrence (a dinner or gathering), not just a set of circumstances.

3. The third sense is related to a phenomenon in space-time, relevant to relativity theory. This is highly specialized and not relevant to the context of social or organizational gatherings.

4. The fourth sense refers to a phenomenon caused by a previous one, with synonyms like "consequence," "effect," "outcome." The context does not treat the "event" as a consequence or outcome but as an occurrence.

Given the context, the most appropriate definition is the first one: "something that happens at a given place and time." The word "event" is used to refer to fund-raising gatherings or happenings, which aligns with this sense.

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

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

The sentence discusses the concern raised by ethics-in-government activists due to the close relationship or closeness of Scalia and Thomas to certain law firms and a company with a significant financial interest in a case. The word "proximity" here refers to the state or fact of being near or close to something or someone in terms of physical or metaphorical distance.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "proximity" as "the property of being close together" with a synonym "propinquity." This sense aligns with the context as it discusses the closeness of Scalia and Thomas to law firms and a company, implying a concern about their impartiality due to their close association or relationship.

2. The second sense refers to "the region close around a person or thing." While this could be interpreted in a broad sense to relate to the context, it more literally refers to a spatial area around something or someone, which isn't the primary focus here.

3. The third sense is related to a Gestalt principle of organization, which doesn't directly relate to the context provided.

Given the context, the most appropriate definition is the first one, as it directly relates to the concept of being close or near, either physically or in terms of association. The concern is about the closeness or the relationship between Scalia, Thomas, and the entities involved in the case.

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

Target lemma: interest

Context:
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 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 <t>interest</t>, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach 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.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the attendance of justices Scalia and Thomas at Federalist Society events and a fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court. It highlights concerns over ethics and the justices' adherence to a code of conduct.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "breach" is used in the context of "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code..." by Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. a failure to perform some promised act or obligation**: This sense implies a violation or non-compliance with expected standards or rules.
   - **2. an opening (especially a gap in a dike or fortification)**: This is a more literal sense, referring to a physical gap or opening, typically in a barrier.
   - **3. a personal or social separation (as between opposing factions)**: This sense refers to a division or rift between individuals or groups.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context revolves around ethics and the justices' behavior, specifically their attendance at events with lawyers involved in cases before the court. The term "breach of ethics" directly relates to a failure to adhere to expected ethical standards or codes of conduct.
   - Sense 1 directly corresponds to this interpretation, as it involves a failure to perform or adhere to some promised act or obligation, in this case, ethical standards.
   - Sense 2 is not relevant as there's no mention of a physical opening or gap.
   - Sense 3, while plausible because it involves a form of separation or division, doesn't directly fit the context of "breach of ethics." However, synonyms like "rupture" and "rift" could metaphorically apply to a breach in ethical standards or relations.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The phrase "breach of ethics" is commonly understood as a failure to adhere to ethical standards, aligning with Sense 1: "a failure to perform some promised act or obligation."
   - The context directly supports this interpretation, as it discusses the justices' actions in relation to ethical codes and expectations.

6. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "breach" in the given context is Sense 1.

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

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

The context revolves around the attendance of justices Scalia and Thomas at events related to law firms involved in a case before the court, and the criticism this attendance drew from ethics-in-government activists. The criticism centered on the perceived breach of ethics and the justices' apparent disregard for the code of conduct.

1. The first sense refers to "unbiased impartial unconcern." While the context does involve a discussion about impartiality, the term "indifference" here is used to criticize the justices' actions, not to praise their impartiality.

2. The second sense is about "apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions." The context does not directly imply that the justices lacked emotional reactions; rather, it focuses on their actions and the perception of those actions as inappropriate.

3. The third sense refers to "the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally." While this could be related, the context specifically criticizes the justices' actions regarding the code of conduct, not a general lack of enthusiasm or interest.

4. The fourth sense is "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern." The criticism by Bob Edgar suggests that the justices' actions and their apparent lack of concern for the ethical implications are what is at issue. The phrase "indifference to the code" directly implies a lack of concern or regard for the ethical code.

Given the context and the provided definitions, the use of "indifference" best aligns with the fourth sense, as it describes the justices' apparent lack of concern for the ethical code they are expected to follow. This is further supported by the synonyms provided, such as "nonchalance" and "unconcern," which fit the context of criticism for not taking the ethical code seriously.

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

The context revolves around the behavior of justices in relation to ethics rules and a "Code of Conduct" that governs the actions of lower federal justices. The justices are exempt from this code, but their actions are scrutinized in relation to it, specifically mentioning "Canon 4C" of the code. The discussion is about ethics and the adherence to certain principles or rules by the justices.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A set of rules or principles or laws (especially written ones) - This sense is related to a codified set of rules or laws, which aligns with the context of a "Code of Conduct" and "Canon 4C," indicating a set of principles or rules that govern behavior.

2. A coding system used for transmitting messages requiring brevity or secrecy - This sense pertains to a system used for encoding messages, which doesn't directly relate to the context provided, as there's no mention of message transmission or secrecy in relation to the term "code."

3. (Computer science) the symbolic arrangement of data or instructions in a computer program or the set of such instructions - This sense is related to computer programming and coding, which is not relevant to the context, as the discussion is about ethical conduct and not about computer science or programming.

Given the context, the most relevant sense is the first one, as it directly relates to a set of rules or principles (a "code" of conduct). The mention of "Code of Conduct," "Canon 4C," and the discussion around ethics and rules for justices' behavior strongly supports this choice.

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

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: "This stunning breach 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."

Here, "claims" refers to assertions or statements made by several justices regarding the court's adherence to the same rules as other federal judges. The context revolves around the justices' statements or assertions about their ethical conduct.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. An assertion of a right (as to money or property) - This doesn't fit the context as the justices are not asserting a right to something.
2. An assertion that something is true or factual - This matches the context because the justices are making assertions about the court's conduct being in line with other federal judges.
3. Demand for something as rightful or due - The context doesn't indicate that the justices are demanding something.
4. An informal right to something - This doesn't apply as the context is about statements made, not rights to something.
5. An established or recognized right - Again, not relevant as it's about the justices' statements, not their rights.
6. A demand especially in the phrase - This is not relevant to the context.

Given the context and the examples provided, the best fit for "claims" is "an assertion that something is true or factual" because it directly relates to the justices making statements about the court's adherence to certain rules.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one corresponding to this definition.

Target lemma: justice

Context:
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 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.

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

The context describes a situation where justices, specifically Scalia and Thomas, are attending a black-tie event with attorneys who have pending cases before the court. The event is described as a "fundraiser," and their participation in it is criticized as a breach of ethics and an undercut to their claims of impartiality.

The two candidate senses for "fundraiser" are:
1. Someone who solicits financial contributions.
2. A social function that is held for the purpose of raising money.

The sentence context directly refers to the event as a "black-tie fundraiser," indicating it is describing an event rather than a person. The phrase "wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser" further supports this interpretation, as it suggests an event where such activities occur.

The examples and synonyms can also guide the choice. For the sense of an event, synonyms might include "gala," "benefit," or "charity event," all of which describe social functions aimed at raising money.

Given the context and the definitions, the "fundraiser" refers to the event itself, not the person soliciting contributions. Thus, the best sense is the one that defines it as "a social function that is held for the purpose of raising money," which corresponds to sense index 2.

{"sense_index": 2}

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

The context discusses the justices (Scalia and Thomas) attending a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court, and how their presence and assistance in fundraising undermine claims of impartiality.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Outward or visible aspect of a person or thing - While this sense could potentially fit in some contexts related to "appearance," it doesn't directly relate to the act of attending an event or its implications on impartiality.

2. The event of coming into sight - This sense doesn't directly apply to the context, as "appearance" here is not merely about becoming visible.

3. Formal attendance (in court or at a hearing) of a party in an action - The context is not about a formal legal proceeding but rather about attending a fundraising event.

4. A mental representation - The context is not about describing someone's appearance to form a mental image.

5. The act of appearing in public view - The justices' attendance at a fundraiser is a public appearance, and this sense fits the context. The sentence discusses how their appearance (attendance) at the event and assistance in fundraising affect perceptions of their impartiality.

6. Pretending that something is the case in order to make a good impression - While this sense involves "appearance," it's more about maintaining a facade. The context, however, focuses on the actual act of attending an event rather than pretending to be something they're not.

Given the context, the most relevant sense is related to the act of appearing in public view, which is directly related to their attendance at the fundraiser and its implications.

The best sense for "appearance" in this context is related to attending or being present at an event, which aligns with sense 5, "the act of appearing in public view."

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around the ethical concerns related to Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas) attending a fundraising event associated with law firms involved in cases before the court. The appearance and "assistance" of these justices in fundraising for the event are criticized for undermining their impartiality.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "assistance" here refers to the act of helping or supporting something, in this case, a fundraising event.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose" with synonyms like "aid," "assist," and "help." An example given is "he gave me an assist with the housework; could not walk without assistance." This sense emphasizes the act of helping or supporting.
   - **Sense 2**: "a resource" with the same synonyms ("aid," "help") but with an example that suggests something used to facilitate or enhance an activity or situation, like "visual aids in teaching."

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "assistance" refers to the action or act of the justices in helping or supporting the fundraising event, not a resource or tool they provided.
   - The synonyms "aid," "assist," and "help" are relevant in understanding the nuance of "assistance" here, pointing towards an action rather than a tangible resource.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the definitions, **Sense 1** ("the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose") is the most appropriate. It directly relates to the action of the justices in assisting or contributing to the fundraising event, which aligns with the criticism mentioned.

6. **Indexed Sense Selection**:
   - The first sense provided corresponds to the definition that fits the context. Hence, the best indexed sense for "assistance" is **1**.

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