A text generation system is evaluating two possible three-word sequences. For each sequence, it has calculated a confidence score for each word, denoted by $\bar{y}_i$ for the $i$-th word. The system uses a function, $s(\bar{y}_1, \bar{y}_2, \bar{y}_3) = \sum_{i=1}^{3} \bar{y}_i$, to calculate a total score for the entire sequence. A higher total score is considered better. Given the scores below, which sequence should the system prefer, and what is its total score? Explain your reasoning.
