SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

These

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleP1 'toward' is incorrect here. The context and silex_definition make clear that 'el' (H411) refers to 'these' as a demonstrative indicating the preceding group.
P1 Flagroot error: misidentified as a preposition; should be demonstrative
