Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
Context:
Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the <t>rules</t>. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

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

The context discusses a situation in a sports championship where players' actions are considered against the sporting spirit but are allowed by the "rules." The discussion revolves around the strategic decisions made by players within the framework of the game's regulations.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. **rule%1:09:00::** - a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior. Synonyms include "regulation." Examples given are "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation." This sense seems relevant as it talks about regulations or principles governing behavior.

2. **rule%1:10:00::** - prescribed guide for conduct or action. Synonym is "prescript." This is a broad definition that could apply to various contexts, including games or sports.

3. **rule%1:10:02::** - directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted. Example given is "he knew the rules of chess." This sense directly relates to the context of games or sports.

Given the context is about a sports championship and the actions allowed by the "rules," the most relevant senses are related to the regulations or directions governing the game.

- Sense 1 (rule%1:09:00::) is plausible because it refers to regulations or principles governing behavior, which could include the rules of a game.
- Sense 8 (rule%1:10:02::) directly refers to the directions that define how a game or sport is conducted, making it highly relevant to the context.

Between these, **rule%1:10:02::** (Sense 8) is the most directly relevant because it specifically mentions "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted," which aligns perfectly with the context of discussing the rules of a sports championship.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "rules" in the given context is Sense 8.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a strategic decision made by players in a sports context, relating to accumulating cards and potential suspensions. It mentions "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction... but rather chosen when to obey it." The term "assumption" here refers to a premise or hypothesis that the discussion or analysis is based on.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. A statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn**: This refers to a premise or premiss, often used in logical or argumentative contexts.
   - **2. A hypothesis that is taken for granted**: This is about a supposition or supposal that underlies a particular argument, situation, or society.
   - **3. The act of taking possession of or power over something**: This involves laying claim to something, such as a position of power or office.
   - **4. & 5. Celebrations or beliefs related to the Virgin Mary being taken up into heaven**: These are specific religious references.
   - **6. Audacious or arrogant behavior**: This refers to presumptuousness or effrontery.
   - **7. The act of assuming or taking for granted**: This is about accepting something as true without proof.

3. **Relating Candidate Senses to the Context**:
   - The context revolves around a strategic decision and its implications, not directly about taking possession, religious beliefs, or arrogant behavior.
   - The term "assumption" is used to refer to a premise or hypothesis that the players' actions and the discussion are based on.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Senses 4 and 5 are related to specific religious contexts and are not relevant here.
   - Sense 3 refers to taking possession or power, which doesn't fit the context.
   - Sense 6 is about arrogant behavior, not directly related to the context provided.
   - Senses 1, 2, and 7 all relate to the concept of assuming something to be true.
   - **Sense 2 (a hypothesis that is taken for granted)** and **Sense 7 (the act of assuming or taking for granted)** are closely related and both could potentially fit the context, as they both deal with the idea of something being assumed.
   - **Sense 1 (a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn)** is also a strong candidate because it refers to a premise from which conclusions are drawn, fitting the analytical nature of the passage.

5. **Decision**:
   - Upon closer inspection, the passage uses "assumption" to refer to a premise or hypothesis that underlies the discussion about the players' strategic decision. The sentence "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..." suggests that "assumption" refers to a statement or hypothesis being considered or analyzed.
   - The most fitting definition is **Sense 2: a hypothesis that is taken for granted**, as it aligns with the idea of a supposition or premise that the analysis is based on. The examples given for Sense 2 ("any society is built upon certain assumptions") also support this interpretation, as it implies underlying hypotheses or premises.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "assumption" in the given context is **2**.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a strategy related to a sports championship, mentioning "the club," "the next game," "the Championship," and "cards that could threaten their participation in a future game." This indicates that the subject matter is sports, specifically a team sport where players can receive cards (likely yellow or red cards in soccer) that affect their eligibility to play.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. a person who participates in or is skilled at some game**: The context is about a team sport, likely soccer, given the mention of cards and a championship. This sense fits as it refers to individuals participating in a game or sport.
   - **2. someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)**: There's no mention or implication of music or musical instruments in the context. Thus, this sense is not relevant.
   - **3. a theatrical performer**: The passage does not relate to theater or performance arts. So, this sense is not applicable.
   - **4. a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously**: The context is entirely about sports strategy and does not touch upon social or sexual relationships. Hence, this sense is not relevant.
   - **5. an important participant (as in a business deal)**: While this sense could metaphorically apply to sports (as players are important participants), it's more focused on business or significant dealings, not directly on sports or games.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly points towards a sports-related activity.
   - Sense 1 directly relates to participants in a game or sport, fitting the context perfectly.
   - The other senses do not match the context as they relate to different domains (music, theater, social/sexual behavior, and business).

Given the context and the analysis above, the most appropriate sense for "players" is the one related to participants in a game or sport.

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

The sentence is: "...(this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

The context revolves around the discussion of a strategic decision made by players regarding sanctions and the sporting spirit, and it mentions "legal fraud," which indicates a legal context.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. "an occurrence of something" - While this is a possible interpretation, it's too broad for the specific context of "legal fraud."
2. "a special set of circumstances" - This could potentially fit, but it's not as directly related to legal terminology as another sense.
3. "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" - This is a strong candidate because it directly relates to legal contexts, and "case of legal fraud" could be interpreted as a legal proceeding or matter.
4. "the actual state of things" - This doesn't directly relate to the context of "legal fraud."
5. Other senses relate to containers, grammatical cases, or other non-legal contexts that don't fit the given sentence.

Given the context of "legal fraud," the most relevant sense is related to legal proceedings or matters. Sense 3, "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy," is the closest match because it involves legal terminology and concepts.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "case" in the given context is related to legal matters.

The context discusses a situation involving players making strategic decisions within the rules of a game, and the distinction between "wittiness" and "law fraud." The passage implies that the players are operating within the boundaries set by the rules (or laws) of the game but are doing so in a manner that is considered clever or strategic rather than fraudulent.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **the collection of rules imposed by authority** - This sense refers to the body of rules that govern behavior as dictated by some authority. While it could relate to the rules of a game, the context suggests a more nuanced discussion about the spirit of the rules rather than the rules themselves.

2. **legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity** - This sense is more specific to a document that outlines rules, which doesn't directly fit the context of discussing the spirit of the game or strategic decisions within the rules.

3. **a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society** - This refers to a more abstract or natural law, not necessarily codified but understood as guiding principles. The discussion about the "sporting spirit" and the distinction between "wittiness" and "law fraud" touches upon an understanding of what is inherently fair or acceptable.

4. **a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature** - This sense is more related to scientific laws and doesn't fit the context.

5. **the branch of philosophy concerned with the law and the principles that lead courts to make the decisions they do** - This is about the philosophical study of law, which is not directly relevant to the context.

6. **the learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system** - This refers to the profession of law, which is not the focus of the discussion.

7. **the force of policemen and officers** - This sense refers to law enforcement, which is not relevant to the context.

Given the context, the discussion revolves around the idea of operating within the rules (or laws) of a game and the ethical or moral implications of doing so in a strategic manner. The phrase "law fraud" suggests a play on the concept of legal or rule-based fraud, but it's more about the spirit of the rules rather than the literal interpretation.

The best fit is sense **3**, as it relates to a principle or rule that is considered inherent or essential, in this case, the "sporting spirit" or the unwritten rules of fair play, which aligns with the discussion about the distinction between clever strategy and fraud.

Target lemma: fraud
Target surface form: fraud
Context:
But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment. Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness. The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them.

Candidate senses:

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a situation in a sports context where players make strategic decisions that are against the sporting spirit but within the rules, leading to a sanction. It distinguishes between "legal fraud" and "wittiness," suggesting that the players' actions, although questionable, were not intended to avoid the sanction but were rather a strategic choice.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "fraud" is used in the context of "legal fraud," implying an action that might be legally permissible but is considered deceitful or against the spirit of the rules.

3. **Examining the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. intentional deception resulting in injury to another person**: This definition implies a direct harm or injury caused by deception.
   - **2. a person who makes deceitful pretenses**: This refers to an individual who deceives others through false pretenses.
   - **3. something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage**: This involves actions or schemes designed to deceive, typically to achieve an unfair advantage.

4. **Relating the Context to the Candidate Senses**:
   - The context does not directly imply that the players' actions caused injury to another person (Sense 1), nor does it refer to a person making deceitful pretenses (Sense 2).
   - The discussion revolves around the strategic decisions made by players that are considered against the sporting spirit but are within the rules, and the fine line between such actions and "fraud." The focus is on the action or strategy rather than the person.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The use of "fraud" in "legal fraud" suggests an action intended to deceive or gain an unfair advantage within the bounds of the law or rules. This aligns closely with **Sense 3: something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage**. The synonyms provided for this sense, such as "fraudulence, dupery, hoax, humbug, put-on," further support this interpretation as they relate to actions or schemes intended to deceive.

6. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the best indexed sense for "fraud" is **3**.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a specific situation involving players making strategic decisions in a game, relating to sanctions and card accumulation rules. The term "occasion" is used in the sentence, "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness." Here, "occasion" refers to a particular instance or event.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. an event that occurs at a critical time**: This sense refers to a significant or critical event.
   - **2. a vaguely specified social event**: This involves events like parties or gatherings.
   - **3. reason**: This sense is about a cause or justification for something.
   - **4. the time of a particular event**: This refers to the moment or period when something happens.
   - **5. an opportunity to do something**: This is about having a chance or suitable moment for an action.

3. **Analyzing the Context and Candidate Senses**:
   - The context is about a specific instance or situation in a game where players made certain decisions.
   - The term "occasion" is used to refer to this specific instance.
   - The sentence implies a particular event or situation being discussed.

4. **Matching the Context to the Best Sense**:
   - Sense 1 ("an event that occurs at a critical time") could fit because the situation discussed is significant and involves strategic decisions.
   - Sense 2 ("a vaguely specified social event") doesn't fit well as the context is about a game situation, not a social gathering.
   - Sense 3 ("reason") doesn't directly apply because "occasion" here doesn't mean the reason for something but rather refers to the situation itself.
   - Sense 4 ("the time of a particular event") is a strong candidate because it refers to the moment or instance of an event, aligning with how "occasion" is used in the passage.
   - Sense 5 ("an opportunity to do something") is not the best fit as "occasion" is not used to indicate an opportunity but rather to specify the instance.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The use of "in this occasion" suggests referring to a specific instance or time of an event, which aligns with Sense 4 ("the time of a particular event").

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "occasion" in the given context is Sense 4.

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

The sentence is: "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

Here, "factors" refers to the reasons or elements that contribute to the controversy.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Anything that contributes causally to a result. This sense fits well because the "factors" are contributing to the controversy.
2. An abstract part of something. This could also be a potential fit as "factors" can be seen as components or elements of the controversy.
3. One of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another integer. This sense is related to mathematics and doesn't fit the context.
4. A businessman who buys or sells for another in exchange for a commission. This is unrelated to the context.
5. Any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together. This is also related to mathematics and doesn't fit.
6. An independent variable in statistics. While this could potentially be related, the context doesn't suggest a statistical analysis.
7. A segment of DNA involved in producing a polypeptide chain. This is related to genetics and is not relevant to the context.

Given the context, the sentence is discussing the reasons or elements that contribute to the controversy. Both senses 1 and 2 seem plausible because they both relate to the idea of something contributing to or being a part of a larger whole.

Sense 1 ("anything that contributes causally to a result") is a good fit because the factors are contributing to the controversy. The example given ("a number of factors determined the outcome") also supports this interpretation, as it shows "factors" contributing to a result, similar to how the two factors are contributing to the controversy.

Sense 2 ("an abstract part of something") is also a potential fit, as "factors" can be seen as components or elements of the controversy. However, the context emphasizes the causal contribution to the controversy rather than just being parts of it.

Between these, sense 1 is more directly related to the context, as it emphasizes the causal contribution to the outcome (controversy).

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a scenario involving a sport, where two auto "expulsions" occurred. The context implies that these expulsions were a result of actions taken by players or teams, and it relates to the rules and the spirit of the sport.

2. **Understanding the Term "Expulsions"**: The term "expulsions" here refers to the act of being forced out or removed from a particular situation or place, in this case, likely a sports competition.

3. **Examining the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "the act of forcing out someone or something" with synonyms like "ejection, exclusion, riddance" and examples such as "the ejection of troublemakers by the police; the child's expulsion from school". This sense aligns with the context of being removed or forced out, which could apply to a sports context where players or teams are expelled or ejected due to certain actions.
   - **Sense 2**: Refers to "squeezing out by applying pressure" with a synonym "extrusion" and examples related to physical objects being squeezed out. This doesn't directly relate to the context of sports or the act of being removed from a competition due to rule infractions.
   - **Sense 3**: Defines "the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting" with synonyms like "projection, ejection, forcing out". While it is somewhat related, the inclusion of "projection" as a synonym broadens its potential applications beyond the context of being removed or ejected.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "expulsions" refers to the act of being forced out or removed from a competition.
   - **Sense 1** directly relates to the act of forcing someone or something out, which fits the scenario of players or teams being expelled from a competition. The synonyms and examples provided for this sense (e.g., ejection of troublemakers, child's expulsion from school) align with the notion of being removed or forced out due to certain actions or infractions.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate choice for the target word "expulsions".

The response should be in the format: {"sense_index": 1}.

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

The sentence is: "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

Here, "way" is used in the context of discussing how something (the transmission of the directive) was done or carried out. The phrase "the way the transmission...was carried out" indicates that it's about the manner or method of doing something.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **how something is done or how it happens** - This matches the context as it discusses the manner of the transmission.
2. **how a result is obtained or an end is achieved** - While related, this sense leans more towards the means to achieve an end rather than the manner of doing something.
3. **a line leading to a place or point** - This doesn't fit the context as "way" isn't referring to a direction or path.
4. **the condition of things generally** - This is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the manner of an action.
5. **a course of conduct** - This could be considered, but it's more about a general path or behavior rather than the specific manner of doing something.
6. **any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage** - This is literal and doesn't fit the context.
7. **a journey or passage** - Not relevant as "way" isn't referring to a journey.
8. **space for movement** - Not relevant to the context.
9. **the property of distance in general** - Not relevant.
10. **doing as one pleases or chooses** - Not directly relevant.
11. **a general category of things** - Not relevant to the context.
12. **a portion of something divided into shares** - Not relevant.

The context suggests that "way" refers to the manner in which the transmission of the directive was carried out. The first sense, "how something is done or how it happens," matches this interpretation with synonyms like "manner," "mode," "style," and "fashion." The example "her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking" illustrates this sense.

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

Target lemma: transmission

Context:
So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment. Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness. The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the <t>transmission</t> of the directive was carried out to cause them. The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=transmission%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted | synonyms=transmittal, transmitting
2. sense_key=transmission%1:10:00:: | definition=communication by means of transmitted signals

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

The context is discussing a controversy related to actions taken by players in a sport, specifically mentioning "two auto expulsions" and "the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them." The key elements here are "auto expulsions" (suggesting an automated or deliberate process of expelling players) and "directive" (implying an instruction or order given to cause these expulsions).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted.
   - This sense fits well with the context of sending or conveying a directive.

2. Communication by means of transmitted signals.
   - While this involves transmission, it's more specific to signals, which isn't directly implied by "directive" in this context.

3. The fraction of radiant energy that passes through a substance.
   - This is a scientific/technical definition unrelated to the context of directives or expulsions in a sport.

4. An incident in which an infectious disease is transmitted.
   - This is related to the spread of disease, not relevant to the given context.

5. The gears that transmit power from an automobile engine via the driveshaft to the live axle.
   - This refers to a mechanical aspect of vehicles, not directly related to the context unless "transmission" is used metaphorically or in a completely different sense.

Given the context, the most relevant sense is related to the act of sending or conveying a message or directive. The first sense, "the act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted," aligns with this interpretation as it involves the transmission of a directive.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a controversy surrounding certain actions taken by players in a sport, which led to auto expulsions. It mentions that the "damage" caused by these actions to the principles of the sport is more aesthetic than ethical.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "damage" here refers to a negative impact or harm caused to the principles of the sport.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=damage%1:11:00::**: "the occurrence of a change for the worse" with synonyms "harm, impairment". This sense is plausible as it refers to a negative change, which aligns with the context of causing harm to the sport's principles.
   - **2. sense_key=damage%1:11:01::**: "loss of military equipment" with synonym "equipment casualty". This is not relevant to the context, which is about sports, not military equipment.
   - **3. sense_key=damage%1:04:00::**: "the act of damaging something or someone" with synonyms "harm, hurt, scathe". This sense is also plausible because it directly refers to the act of causing damage, which could be interpreted as harming the sport's principles.
   - **4. sense_key=damage%1:21:00::**: "the amount of money needed to purchase something" with synonyms "price, terms". This sense is not relevant to the context, as there's no discussion about financial transactions or costs.
   - **5. sense_key=damage%1:04:01::**: "any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right" with synonyms "wrong, legal injury". While this involves harm or injury, it's specifically related to legal rights, which isn't the focus of the passage.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context indicates that "damage" refers to a negative impact on the sport's principles, which is more about the effect or result of the actions rather than the act itself.
   - Sense 1 ("the occurrence of a change for the worse") fits well because it describes a negative outcome or result (harm or impairment to the sport's principles), aligning with the discussion about the aesthetic and ethical implications of the players' actions.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "damage" in the given context is the first one, which corresponds to **1. sense_key=damage%1:11:00::**.

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

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

The context discusses actions taken by players in a sport that are considered against the "sporting spirit" but are within the rules. It touches upon the distinction between "wittiness" and "law fraud" and concludes that the damage caused by these actions to the "principles" of the sport is more aesthetic than ethical.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **"a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct"** - This definition is quite broad and could apply to various contexts, including the one given. However, it is not the most specific or directly related to the context of sports or ethical/aesthetic considerations.

2. **"a rule or standard especially of good behavior"** - This sense aligns closely with the idea of "principles" guiding behavior, which could include the behavior of players in a sport. It implies a moral or ethical dimension.

3. **"a basic truth or law or assumption"** - This is a broad definition that could encompass the foundational aspects or values of a sport. It is general enough to include ethical, aesthetic, or operational principles.

4. **"a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system"** - This definition is more geared towards scientific or mechanical principles, which doesn't directly apply to the context of sporting principles or ethics.

5. **"rule of personal conduct"** - This sense focuses on individual behavior guided by principles, which is somewhat relevant but may be too narrow for the context that seems to discuss the sport's overall character or ethos.

6. **"(law) an explanation of the fundamental reasons (especially an explanation of the working of some device in terms of laws of nature)"** - This definition is more related to legal or mechanical explanations and doesn't directly apply to the context of sporting principles.

Given the context, the discussion revolves around the foundational values or standards ("principles") of a sport, and how certain actions affect these. The damage is described as being more aesthetic than ethical, suggesting that the "principles" in question relate to the underlying character or ethos of the sport.

The most fitting definition is **"a basic truth or law or assumption"** (sense_index = 3), as it broadly encompasses the foundational aspects or values of a sport without being overly specific to ethical behavior, personal conduct, or scientific laws.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence discusses the discovery of an arsenic-tolerant microbe and how it widens the scope for finding new forms of life on Earth and possibly beyond. The word "possibility" is used in the context of the discovery raising the prospect of new types of life.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=possibility%1:09:03::**: This sense refers to a future prospect or potential. The example given is "this room has great possibilities," indicating potential for something to happen or be done in a particular place or situation.
   - **2. sense_key=possibility%1:26:00::**: This sense is about the capability of something existing, happening, or being true. It's related to the concept of "possibleness." An example is "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired," indicating a chance or likelihood of something being the case.
   - **3. sense_key=possibility%1:09:00::**: This refers to a tentative insight into the natural world, akin to a hypothesis or theory. The examples given relate to scientific hypotheses and theories, indicating a more abstract or theoretical concept.
   - **4. sense_key=possibility%1:09:01::**: This sense is about a possible alternative or option. The example "bankruptcy is always a possibility" suggests that it is one of several potential outcomes or actions.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context is about a scientific discovery and its implications for understanding life on Earth and elsewhere. The word "possibility" here relates to the idea that the discovery opens up a new prospect or potential for new forms of life.
   - Senses 1 and 4 both relate to the concept of potential or alternatives, but they slightly differ in their connotations. Sense 1 is more about potential or prospects, while Sense 4 is about alternatives or options.
   - Sense 2 is a strong candidate because it deals with the likelihood or capability of something being true or happening, which aligns with the context of considering new forms of life as a result of the discovery.
   - Sense 3 is more about a hypothesis or theory, which doesn't directly fit the usage of "possibility" in the given sentence.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The sentence implies that the discovery of the arsenic-tolerant microbe makes the existence of new types of life more plausible or likely. This aligns well with **Sense 2 (sense_key=possibility%1:26:00::)**, as it discusses the capability of something (new types of life) existing or being true.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "possibility" in the given context is **2**.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence discusses the discovery of a new bacteria that can use arsenic as a nutrient, suggesting the possibility of new "types" of life on Earth or elsewhere. The context is scientific and biological, focusing on the diversity of life forms.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "types" is used to refer to different forms or categories of life.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=type%1:09:00::**: Refers to a subdivision of a particular kind of thing. While this could potentially fit, it's quite general.
   - **2. sense_key=type%1:18:00::**: Describes a person with eccentricities, which doesn't fit the context of biological life forms.
   - **3. sense_key=type%1:14:01::**: Relates to biology and taxonomy, referring to the group whose characteristics define the next higher taxon. This is a very specific and technical use related to the classification of living organisms.
   - **4. sense_key=type%1:10:01::** and **6. sense_key=type%1:06:00::**: Both relate to printing, either the characters themselves or the metal blocks used to print them. These are not relevant to the context.
   - **5. sense_key=type%1:10:00::**: Refers to tokens of the same symbol, which is not directly relevant to the discussion of biological life forms.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context is about biological life and its diversity, hinting at a classification or categorization within biology.
   - Sense 3 directly relates to biological taxonomy, which is a strong candidate because the discussion involves the classification or categorization of life forms.
   - Sense 1, while general, could also apply as it talks about subdivisions of things, which could include life forms.

5. **Decision**:
   - Between the relevant senses (1 and 3), **sense 3** is more specific to the context of biological classification and taxonomy. The discovery of new bacteria and the discussion about new forms of life strongly suggest a taxonomic or classificatory context, making **sense 3** (taxonomy) a more precise fit than the more general **sense 1**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "types" in the given context is **3**.
