SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

side of

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
Rationale'Side of' reflects the prepositional phrase indicating location next to something (the gate). 'Open hand' is incorrect in context; this is an idiomatic use for proximity.
P1 FlagP1 renders the lexical sense 'open hand,' but the context is the side or proximity, not the body part.
