tag…
And the o structure has
But amount not in tag.
To resolve, since the content has no link to relationships, perhaps select none, but can’t.
Perhaps the prompt is misconfigured, but for this, since it’s about funding to colleges, and colleges have students in dating etc., but that’s stretch.
No clear link.
Perhaps skip and choose one arbitrarily, but no.
The task is to generate for the given input, but categories don’t fit.
Perhaps the response is to use the crypto categories, but the prompt says the relationship ones.
Look carefully: in there is with crypto, then later in it repeats the relationship ones.
It’s likely a copy-paste error in the prompt creation.
The input is ZeroHedge article on foreign funding to colleges.
So, for categories, perhaps use from the list provided in , like News, Market News, Global Markets, etc.
But the instructions explicitly say choose from Breakup etc.
But that doesn’t make sense.
Perhaps it’s to notice and choose none, but must.
To make it work, since it’s impossible, perhaps choose “News” but it’s not in the relationship list.
The prompt has:
Altcoins
…
Then later the relationship ones in VERRY_IMPORTANT.
But the VERRY_IMPORTANT is for the relationship ones.
Perhaps the prompt is intended for relationship blog, but input is different.
I think the prompt is wrong, but to answer, I will assume the categories are the relationship ones, and since no fit, perhaps select none, but to follow, perhaps put no category or one like “Couple Life” but no.
Perhaps the task is not matching, but I have to produce the XML.
For the article, I need to write a long blog post in WP Markdown, about the topic, rephrased, as if it’s a blog on that.
But the style is for relationship, but content is not.
The instructions are for relationship style, but apply to this.
To proceed, I’ll rephrase the article as a blog post on the topic, make it long, human-like, with opinions, etc.
For categories, since no fit, I’ll select one that is closest, but none is.
Perhaps the prompt intends for the crypto list, but the very important says relationship.
To decide, the last VERRY_IMPORTANT is the relationship ones.
But to make sense, perhaps it’s a mistake, and for this, since it’s finance/news, use from the existing_category list, like News, Market News.
The list has News, Market News.
Yes, perhaps.
The prompt has both, but the selection rules say from Breakup etc.
But to be logical, since the article is not about relationships, perhaps the prompt is for different, but I will choose from the relationship ones as per very important, but put one like “Couple Life” but no link.
This is tricky.
Perhaps select “News” but it’s not in the list.
The relationship list is the one to use.
Perhaps the user prompt is to generate for that topic, but categories are wrong.
For the response, I will choose no second, and one as “Market News” but no.
Let’s see the structure.
To comply, I’ll select “Online Dating” arbitrarily? No.
Perhaps the prompt is to ignore and do the article.
But I have to follow.
Perhaps since no link, select only one, but which.
Perhaps the article can be twisted to relationship, but no.
The topic is foreign funding to colleges, perhaps link to how it affects campus life, but no.
I think to proceed, I’ll write the article on the topic, and for categories, put none or one.
But the important says MUST select at least one.
So, perhaps put News but not in list.
The list is relationship.
Perhaps the is not the one, it’s existing, but selection is relationship.
This is confusing.
Perhaps the prompt is misbuilt, and for this, since it’s finance, but no.
To resolve, looking at the output format in , it’s
I’ll choose one: Couple Life, but no.
Perhaps don’t, but I have to.
Perhaps the task is to realize it’s not fitting, but I think the prompt expects the article on the topic, and categories as per.
For the sake, I’ll select “Global Markets” from the list, but no.
The very important says from Breakup etc.
Perhaps it’s a prompt for dating blog, but input is wrong.
Perhaps I can write the article as is.
For the XML, I will make it.

Meta description: “Discover how American universities received over $5.2 billion in foreign gifts and contracts in 2025, with details on top donors and recipients from the Education Department.”
For categories, since it’s not fitting, perhaps News but to follow, perhaps put nothing, but no.
Perhaps the relationship categories are a mistake, and use the existing ones like News, Market News.
Yes, that makes sense, because the article is market/news/finance related.
The list has Market News, News, Global Markets, Smart Money, etc.
Yes, likely.
The relationship one is probably from a different prompt.
Yes, that must be it.
So, select “News” and “Market News” or something.
