SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
considered
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'I will set' is a future first person but in context this verb refers to the intent or planning by the king regarding Daniyel, so 'considered' fits the deliberative nuance of this form and matches the narrative context. |
