SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
the captive
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Corrected 'Take captive!' (imperative) to 'the captive' (noun), as the form here is a noun in construct, not a verb; P1 was a parsing error. |
| P1 Flag | Parsing error: SILEX matched to verb instead of noun (H7628 is noun). |
