The word "findings" in this context refers to the results and conclusions discovered through the Latinobarómetro poll. The passage describes specific findings: support for democracy, concerns about crime, and perceptions of regional influence. This matches sense 3 ("something that is found"), which represents the actual results/discoveries of the research, rather than sense 1 (the act of determining) or sense 2 (legal decisions).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and candidate senses for the word "findings".

In the sentence: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries..."

The context is about a poll/survey that has gathered data about attitudes in Latin American countries. The "findings" refers to the results or conclusions discovered through this poll.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=finding%1:04:00:: - "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation" with example "the determination of molecular structures"
   - This refers to the ACT of determining something
   - Definition is about the process/action

2. sense_key=finding%1:04:01:: - "the decision of a court on issues of fact or law"
   - This is specifically about legal/court decisions
   - Not applicable here - this is not a legal context

3. sense_key=finding%1:17:00:: - "something that is found"
   - This refers to the RESULT or THING that is found
   - Examples: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract" (actual discoveries/results), "archaeological findings" (actual objects/results found)

In the context of a poll, "findings" refers to the results or conclusions that have been discovered through the survey. This is the RESULT of the investigation, not the act of investigating itself.

The poll is described as having been "taken" and the findings are what came out of it - the data/conclusions about support for democracy, concerns about crime, etc.

This best matches sense 3: "something that is found" - the findings are the actual results discovered by the poll.

Sense 1 would refer more to the process of determining, while sense 3 refers to the actual results discovered.
Sense 3 is the correct match here.

Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target word "poll" appears in the sentence about the Latinobarómetro survey. The text discusses:
- "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up"
- "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries"
- "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region"

The context makes it clear that "poll" refers to a survey or inquiry into public opinion where people are interviewed to gather data about their views on democracy, private enterprise, crime, unemployment, etc.

Let me evaluate each candidate sense:

1. "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" - This matches perfectly. The context describes a Latinobarómetro poll that measures attitudes across the region on various topics.

2. "the top of the head" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no reference to physical body parts.

3. "the part of the head between the ears" - This doesn't fit either. Again, this is anatomical.

4. "a tame parrot" - This doesn't fit the context at all.

5. "the counting of votes (as in an election)" - While this is related to polling, the context is specifically about a public opinion survey/inquiry, not about counting votes in elections.

The best match is sense 1, which is an opinion poll or public opinion poll - an inquiry into public opinion. This matches the Latinobarómetro survey described in the text that measures attitudes on various issues.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "countries" in this sentence.

The context is: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist."

The sentence is referring to 18 Latin American nations where a poll was conducted. The word "countries" refers to political entities/nations in Latin America.

Let me examine each sense:

1. Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the political organization and people. This seems to fit well with "18 countries" in the context of a poll about Latin America.

2. Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - This emphasizes the geographic territory. This could also work, as countries do occupy territories.

3. Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - This emphasizes the population. This could fit, as the poll is measuring attitudes of people in these nations.

4. Sense 4: "an area outside of cities and towns" - This is clearly wrong. The context is not about rural areas.

5. Sense 5: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This is too vague and doesn't fit the specific context of Latin American nation-states.

Between senses 1, 2, and 3:
- Sense 1 emphasizes the political organization ("politically organized body of people under a single government")
- Sense 2 emphasizes the territory
- Sense 3 emphasizes the population

In the context of "a poll taken in 18 countries," the most natural interpretation is that these are distinct political entities/nation-states. Sense 1 fits best because it captures the idea of "politically organized body of people under a single government," which is what the Latinobarómetro poll is being conducted across - 18 separate political entities.

The context clearly refers to the Latinobarómetro as an opinion survey conducted across multiple countries to track changes in public attitudes. The phrases "taken regularly since 1995," "tracks changes in attitude across the region," and the reference to it measuring support for democracy and concern about issues definitively indicate this is about "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" - the standard meaning of an opinion poll.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "poll".

The context talks about:
- "the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries"
- "Because the <t>poll</t> has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region"
- "this year's poll, taken in September and early October"

This is clearly referring to a survey of public opinion. The text mentions:
- "an inquiry into public opinion" - fits perfectly
- "taken regularly since 1995" - consistent with opinion polling
- "tracks changes in attitude across the region" - tracking public opinion

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=poll%1:09:00:: - "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" with synonyms "opinion poll, public opinion poll, canvass" - THIS MATCHES PERFECTLY

2. sense_key=poll%1:08:01:: - "the top of the head" - doesn't fit

3. sense_key=poll%1:08:02:: - "the part of the head between the ears" - doesn't fit

4. sense_key=poll%1:05:00:: - "a tame parrot" - doesn't fit

5. sense_key=poll%1:04:00:: - "the counting of votes (as in an election)" - while voting-related, this is more about counting votes, not about surveying public opinion. The context is clearly about an opinion survey.

The best fit is sense 1, which is about an inquiry into public opinion. This is the Latinobarómetro poll, which is a well-known survey of public opinion in Latin America.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The context describes a poll that "tracks changes in attitude across the region" over time since 1995. The word "changes" here refers to the relational differences in attitudes between different time periods (states before and after). This aligns precisely with sense 2: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" - the poll is measuring how attitudes have differed from one period to another.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "changes" in the sentence:

"Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region."

The context is about a Latinobarómetro poll that has been tracking attitudes toward democracy, private enterprise, etc. in Latin America over time. The word "changes" here refers to the differences in attitudes that have occurred between different years or periods.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=change%1:11:00:: - "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" - This could fit, as attitudes have changed from one state to another.

2. sense_key=change%1:24:00:: - "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" - This seems very fitting. It's talking about the difference between attitudes before and after (at different points in time).

3. sense_key=change%1:04:00:: - "the action of changing something" - This would be about the process of change, not the result or state difference.

4. sense_key=change%1:19:00:: - "the result of alteration or modification" - This could work, as it's the result of how attitudes have changed.

5-9. These are all about money or coins, so they don't apply.

6. sense_key=change%1:06:01:: - "a thing that is different" - This seems generic, not quite right.

7. sense_key=change%1:06:00:: - "a different or fresh set of clothes" - Not applicable.

10. sense_key=change%1:07:00:: - "a difference that is usually pleasant" - Not quite right, it's neutral, not necessarily pleasant.

Looking at senses 1, 2, and 4:
- Sense 2 is specifically about "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" which perfectly captures what the poll is tracking - differences in attitudes at different times.
- Sense 1 focuses on the event of transition itself rather than the resulting difference, while sense 4 emphasizes the outcome of modification. Sense 2 is the most precise match since it directly describes the comparative differences in attitudes measured across time periods.

The context discusses a poll tracking "changes in attitude across the region" regarding democracy, private enterprise, and other political/social issues. This clearly refers to people's beliefs, feelings, and values about these matters—a "complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways," which is sense 1. The other senses (physical posture, theatrical pose, aircraft positioning) are entirely inapplicable to the sociological context of the passage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "attitude" is being used here.

The context is discussing a Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 Latin American countries. The passage states: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region."

This is clearly referring to changes in people's beliefs, opinions, and dispositions toward democracy, private enterprise, crime concerns, and other political/social matters. The poll is measuring how people's mental states - their beliefs and feelings about these issues - have changed over time.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways" - This fits perfectly. The poll is tracking changes in people's beliefs, feelings, and values about democracy and other issues.

2. "the arrangement of the body and its limbs" - This doesn't fit at all. The context has nothing to do with physical posture.

3. "a theatrical pose created for effect" - This doesn't fit. There's no theatrical or artificial posing happening.

4. "position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference" - This doesn't fit at all. The context is about social/political attitudes, not aircraft.

The answer is clearly sense 1, which is about mental attitudes - beliefs, feelings, values, and dispositions. The poll is tracking changes in these mental states across the region regarding democracy, enterprise, crime, etc.

Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

The word "things" here refers to the findings or findings mentioned in the context. Looking at the context:
- The article discusses various findings from the poll about Latin America
- It says "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll"
- Then it says "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll"

So "things" here is referring to abstract findings, matters, or concerns - not physical objects or actions.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "a special situation" - Could work, as the findings represent situations
2. "an action" - No, these aren't actions
3. "a special abstraction" - Possible, these are abstract findings
4. "an artifact" - No, not physical objects
5. "an event" - Could work, findings can be events
6. "a vaguely specified concern" (synonyms: matter, affair) - This fits well! "matters" and "affairs" align with findings
7. "a statement regarded as an object" - Possible
8. "an entity that is not named specifically" - Possible
9. "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence" - Possible
10. "a special objective" - No
11. "a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion" - No
12. "a separate and self-contained entity" - Possible

The context is about findings from a poll. "Two related things stand out" = "Two related findings/matters stand out."

Sense 6 with its definition "a vaguely specified concern" and synonyms "matter, affair" seems perfect. A "finding" or "matter" to attend to.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase is about findings that "stand out" - these are notable matters or concerns revealed by the poll.

The best fit is sense 6 because it captures the notion of things being matters or affairs of particular interest that emerge from the poll results. The answer is sense index 6.

This aligns with sense 3's definition of "something that results" and its example "he listened for the results on the radio," which parallel the usage of poll results here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and candidate senses for the word "results" in this passage.

The context: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

Here, "results" refers to the findings or outcomes of the Latinobarómetro poll. The sentence is talking about what the poll showed or produced.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=result%1:19:00:: - "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (synonyms: consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot) - This refers to something that is caused by something else. In the context, the results are the findings/outcomes of the poll.

2. sense_key=result%1:10:00:: - "a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem" (synonyms: solution, answer, resolution, solvent) - This is about solutions to problems. This doesn't fit the context well.

3. sense_key=result%1:11:00:: - "something that results" (synonyms: resultant, final result, outcome, termination) - This refers to the outcome or final product. The example "he listened for the results on the radio" is very similar to our context - results of a poll.

4. sense_key=result%1:10:01:: - This is a semantic/grammatical role, not a natural meaning. This doesn't apply here.

Sense 1 and 3 both seem plausible. The difference is:
- Sense 1 emphasizes the causal relationship: a phenomenon that follows and is caused
- Sense 3 emphasizes the outcome/product: something that results

In the context "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll," we're talking about the outcomes/findings of the poll. The poll produces results. This is more about what comes out of the poll (the product/outcome) rather than emphasizing the causal chain.
Sense 3 fits better here—it captures the polling activity's direct output. The parallel example of listening for poll results on the radio reinforces this interpretation, so sense 3 is the right choice.

Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise. Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment. And Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region. Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist.

Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

The target word "year" is being used to refer to the year in which the poll was taken - specifically 2008 or whenever "this year" refers to in the context of the article. The poll was taken in September and early October of "this year."

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=year%1:28:01:: | definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
   - This is the standard definition of a calendar year, a 12-month period

2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
   - This refers to a specific part of a calendar year for a particular purpose (school year, fiscal year, etc.)

3. sense_key=year%1:28:00:: | definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
   - This is specifically about planetary orbits

4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High
   - This refers to a group of students

In the context "this year's poll, taken in September and early October," it's clear that "year" refers to a calendar year - the 365/366 day period. It's not a school year or any special period, it's just the regular calendar year. The poll was taken in September and early October "of this year" (the current calendar year).
The most fitting sense is #1, which captures the standard 12-month calendar period referenced here.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "poll".

The context discusses:
- "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up..."
- "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries..."
- "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region."
- "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

The passage is clearly discussing the Latinobarómetro poll, which is an inquiry into public opinion. It has been taken regularly since 1995, tracking changes in attitudes across the region. The poll gathers findings about support for democracy, backing for private enterprise, crime concerns, etc.

This clearly refers to sense 1: "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" with synonyms "opinion poll, public opinion poll, canvass"

Let me verify the other senses:
- Sense 2 and 3: The top of the head or part of the head - clearly not relevant here
- Sense 4: A tame parrot - not relevant
- Sense 5: The counting of votes - while related to elections, this is about polling public opinion, not counting votes

The best fit is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "mood" is being used.

The sentence is: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."

This is part of a discussion about polling results that track changes in attitudes and psychological states across Latin America. The poll shows that Latin America is experiencing something characterized as "fairly sunny" - this is clearly referring to the psychological state or prevailing sentiment of the region.

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense_key=mood%1:12:00::** "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" - This is about a personal or individual's feeling state. Examples mention "his temper" - personal.

2. **sense_key=mood%1:26:00::** "the prevailing psychological state" - This refers to a collective or societal psychological state. The synonyms include "climate" which is often used in phrases like "climate of opinion." Examples mention "climate of opinion" and "the national mood had changed" - this is clearly about a collective state.

3. **sense_key=mood%1:24:00::** "verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker" - This is a grammatical sense, not applicable here.

The context is clearly about the collective psychological state of Latin America as a region. The poll tracks "changes in attitude" across the region, and the result is described as "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" - this is a prevailing, collective mood, not an individual's personal mood.

This matches sense 2 perfectly - "the prevailing psychological state" with synonym "climate" (as in "climate of opinion").

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 2}

Let me analyze the target word "second" in the given context.

From the text:
"Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The <t>second</t> is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

Here, "second" is being used to refer to the second thing in a list or sequence. The structure makes this clear: "The first is..." and "The second is..." This is using "second" as an ordinal number indicating position in a sequence.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=second%5:00:00:ordinal:00 | definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude | synonyms=2nd, 2d
   - This matches perfectly - it's talking about something coming next after the first, in position/order
   - This is an ordinal sense

2. sense_key=second%3:00:00:: | definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute; the second violins
   - This is a musical term, not applicable here

The context clearly uses "second" in the ordinal sense - as in "the second thing" or "the second item in a list," not in a musical context.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context describes "the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy" - referring to how attitudes are becoming more consistent and free from variation over time, as tracked by the Latinobarómetro poll. This matches sense 3, which defines stability as "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation," rather than sense 1 (firm and steadfast) or sense 2 (a stable social order).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "stability" in this sentence.

The sentence reads: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=stability%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast | synonyms=stableness
   - This refers to something being firm and steadfast, solid and unchanging in character

2. sense_key=stability%1:26:00:: | definition=a stable order (especially of society)
   - This refers to a stable social or political order

3. sense_key=stability%1:07:01:: | definition=the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation | synonyms=constancy | examples=early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds
   - This refers to the quality of being enduring and free from change/variation

In the context: "the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions"

The phrase is describing how attitudes are becoming more stable - less likely to change, more consistent over time. The poll has been tracking changes since 1995, and now they're noting that attitudes are becoming more stable (i.e., not fluctuating as much).

This is clearly about the quality of being free from change or variation - sense 3. The "increasing stability" means attitudes are becoming more consistent and enduring, less subject to change.

Sense 2 (a stable order of society) could potentially apply but it's more general about social/political order.

Sense 1 (being firm and steadfast) is somewhat similar but less precise about the "freedom from change" aspect.

Sense 3 is the best fit because it emphasizes the quality of being "free from change or variation" which is exactly what's being described - attitudes becoming more stable/consistent over time.

The context discusses "attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions" as part of tracking changes in people's beliefs and dispositions across Latin America. This clearly refers to the mental and psychological sense—people's beliefs, feelings, and values regarding democracy—rather than physical positioning (sense 2), theatrical poses (sense 3), or aircraft positioning (sense 4).

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "attitudes" in this sentence.

The sentence reads: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll... The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

The key phrase is "attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions." This is clearly referring to people's beliefs, feelings, and dispositions toward democracy - not their physical positioning, theatrical poses, or aircraft positioning.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways" - This matches perfectly. The context discusses attitudes towards democracy, which involves beliefs about democracy, feelings about democracy, and dispositions to act toward democracy.

2. Sense 2: "the arrangement of the body and its limbs" - This is clearly not about physical positioning. The context is about political attitudes and democracy.

3. Sense 3: "a theatrical pose created for effect" - This is not relevant to the context about democracy.

4. Sense 4: "position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference" - This is clearly not relevant to the context about political attitudes.

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, which is the mental/psychological sense involving beliefs, feelings, values, and dispositions.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "institutions" in the sentence:

"The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

The text is discussing attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. In this context, "institutions" refers to the fundamental organizations and structures that form the basis of a democratic system - such as the legal system, government bodies, courts, parliament, etc.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose" - This could apply, as democratic institutions are organizations for specific purposes.

2. "an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated" - This is too focused on physical buildings.

3. "a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society" - This could also apply, as democratic institutions are customs/features of societies.

4. "the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new" - This doesn't fit the context.

5. "a hospital for mentally incompetent or unbalanced person" - Clearly doesn't fit.

The key phrase is "democracy and its core institutions." In political/sociological discourse, democratic institutions typically refer to the organizational structures and systems that support democracy (government bodies, legal systems, etc.). This aligns best with sense 1, which defines institution as "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose."

Sense 3 (custom/tradition) could also work, but sense 1 is more precise for this political context where we're talking about institutional structures of democracy.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context discusses measuring "support for democracy" as a poll metric tracking public approval and backing for democratic institutions. This is best captured by sense 3, which defines support as "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest," with the example "the policy found little public support" being directly analogous to the measurement of support for democracy in the passage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "support" is being used.

The target sentence is: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America"

The context is about a poll measuring attitudes towards democracy across Latin America. When they say "Support for democracy has risen," they mean that more people approve of or back democracy as a system. This is measuring public opinion/approval.

Let me evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense 1 - "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" - Not applicable, this is about material support
2. sense 2 - "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - This could fit. Support for democracy means backing/aiding the democratic cause. Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
3. sense 3 - "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - This could also fit. Example: "the policy found little public support" - this matches our context well where it's about public support for democracy
4. sense 4 - military operation - Not applicable
5. sense 5 - documentary validation - Not applicable
6. sense 6 - financial means - Not applicable
7. sense 7 - physical support structure - Not applicable
8. sense 8 - bearing weight - Not applicable
9. sense 9 - musical part - Not applicable
10. sense 10 - device bearing weight - Not applicable
11. sense 11 - financial resources - Not applicable

The main candidates are sense 2 and sense 3.

Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"

Both are about backing/supporting a cause. The difference is that sense 2 is described as "aiding" while sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance."
Sense 3 better captures what's happening here—it treats support as a measurable quantity, an abstract thing that can rise or fall. The example "the policy found little public support" parallels our sentence structure about democracy, making sense 3 the right choice.

Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region.

The context discusses political attitudes toward democracy and institutions across different nations in Latin America. The word "countries" refers to politically organized nation-states (Peru, etc.), not geographic territory or rural areas. Sense 1 ("a politically organized body of people under a single government") best captures this usage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "countries" in this sentence.

The sentence states: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America"

The context is discussing the Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries, with mentions of Peru, discussion of nations' attitudes toward democracy and economic growth.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. Sense 1 (country%1:14:00::) - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic
   This refers to the political entity/government and its people organized under it.

2. Sense 2 (country%1:15:00::) - "the territory occupied by a nation" - synonyms: state, land
   This refers to the geographical/physical territory.

3. Sense 3 (country%1:14:01::) - "the people who live in a nation or country" - synonyms: nation, land
   This refers specifically to the people/population.

4. Sense 4 (country%1:15:01::) - "an area outside of cities and towns" - synonyms: rural area
   This is rural/countryside - not applicable here.

5. Sense 5 (country%1:15:02::) - "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - synonyms: area
   This is a geographical region with cultural/geographical distinction.

In the context, we're talking about nations in Latin America, comparing their attitudes toward democracy and government. The passage mentions "18 countries" and discusses countries like Peru. This is clearly referring to nation-states or political entities.

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 emphasizes the political organization and people
- Sense 2 emphasizes the territory

The context is about polling attitudes toward democracy and institutions in different nations - it's about the political entities and their populations' opinions, not primarily about the geographical territory.
Sense 1 fits best here. The passage uses "countries" to refer to distinct political units with their own governments and populations whose views on democracy are being measured, not to describe territorial boundaries or rural areas.

The context discusses a poll across 18 countries examining attitudes towards democracy and economic growth, with specific reference to "several countries on the Pacific rim of South America" and Peru as an example. The passage treats South America as a collective political and economic region composed of nations, rather than simply as a geographical continent. This aligns with sense 2, which defines South America as "the nations of the South American continent collectively."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "South America" is being used.

The context mentions:
- A poll taken in 18 countries
- Changes in attitude across the region
- Support for democracy in "several countries on the Pacific rim of South America"
- Specific example: Peru with economic growth data and democracy support statistics

Now let's look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=south_america%1:17:00:: - "a continent in the western hemisphere connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama" - This is the geographical/physical definition of South America as a continent.

2. sense_key=south_america%1:14:00:: - "the nations of the South American continent collectively" - This is the geopolitical definition referring to the countries/nations as a collective group.

Looking at the context:
- The passage discusses a poll taken in 18 countries
- It talks about "several countries on the Pacific rim"
- It mentions Peru specifically and discusses its economic growth and support for democracy
- The passage is focused on the political attitudes and democratic support in the region

The key phrase is "several countries on the Pacific rim of South America" - this is talking about countries (political entities) within the South American region. The context is about democratic institutions, attitudes towards democracy, economic policies, etc. - all things that apply to nations/countries, not to a geographical continent.

The example for sense 2 also mentions "South America is an important market for goods from the United States" - which is clearly about the collective nations/region as an economic unit.

Given that this passage is discussing political and economic data at the country/regional level, sense 2 (the nations of the South American continent collectively) is more appropriate than sense 1 (the geographical continent).
The answer is sense 2.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "table" is being used.

The sentence states: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)."

The context makes it clear that "table" refers to a visual presentation of data - specifically, the phrase "see table 1" indicates a reference to a numbered table in a document. The entire passage is about a poll with statistics and results, so "table 1" would be a data table showing the comparative statistics about democracy support.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=table%1:14:00:: | definition=a set of data arranged in rows and columns | synonyms=tabular array | examples=see table 1
   - This matches perfectly. It's a set of data arranged in rows and columns, and the example is "see table 1" which is exactly what we have in the context.

2. sense_key=table%1:06:01:: | definition=a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs
   - This is furniture, not relevant here.

3. sense_key=table%1:06:02:: | definition=a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it
   - This is also furniture related to dining, not relevant.

4. sense_key=table%1:17:00:: | definition=flat tableland with steep edges
   - This is a geographical formation, not relevant.

5. sense_key=table%1:14:01:: | definition=a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game
   - This is a group of people at a table, not relevant.

6. sense_key=table%1:13:01:: | definition=food or meals in general
   - This is about food, not relevant.

The answer is clearly sense 1, which is the first sense listed (index 1).

In the context "economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002," the word "year" refers to a standard period of 365/366 days used as a unit of measurement for the economic growth rate. This matches sense 1, which defines year as "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "year" in the phrase "6% a year since 2002".

The sentence is: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002..."

This is talking about economic growth being measured as a percentage per year - meaning per 12-month period.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=year%1:28:01:: | definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
   - This is the standard calendar year, a period of 365-366 days
   - The phrase "6% a year" fits this - it means 6% per 365-366 day period

2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
   - This is specific to particular activities like school years
   - "6% a year" doesn't fit this well

3. sense_key=year%1:28:00:: | definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
   - This is astronomical and specific
   - Doesn't fit

4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High
   - This is about a cohort of students
   - Doesn't fit

The phrase "6% a year" clearly means 6% per 12-month period, which is sense 1 - a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
The sense index for sense 1 would be 1.

The context discusses "support for democracy" rising in Peru, referring to public backing and approval of democracy as a political system. This aligns with sense 2 ("aiding the cause or policy or interests of"), which specifically addresses support for a cause or policy. The example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" is directly parallel to the usage here—both refer to endorsement or backing of a political position.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "support" in this sentence:

"For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

The context is about people's attitudes and preferences towards democracy. The sentence is saying that support for democracy (meaning people's backing or approval of democracy) has increased.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" - Not really about attitudes
2. "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - This is about supporting a cause or policy. This fits well with "support for democracy" - it means backing or aiding the cause of democracy
3. "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - Also about backing a cause
4. "a military operation" - Not relevant
5. "documentary validation" - Not relevant
6. "the financial means whereby one lives" - Not relevant
7. "supporting structure that holds up" - Physical structure, not relevant
8. "the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening" - Physical act, not relevant
9. "a musical part" - Not relevant
10. "any device that bears the weight" - Physical, not relevant
11. "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - Could be about funding, but in this context it's about attitudes, not financial support

The most relevant senses are 2 and 3. Let me compare:

Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with examples "the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support"

Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with examples "the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed"

Both work, but sense 2 seems more directly about aiding a cause/policy (democracy), while sense 3 is more about immaterial assistance. The example "the policy found little public support" in sense 3 is very similar to our context.
Looking at the examples more closely, sense 2 emphasizes backing a political position like "support of his own party," while sense 3 uses "the policy found little public support" which directly parallels our usage. However, sense 2 is more precise here—it captures the idea of citizens actively backing or endorsing democracy as a cause.

The word "low" in this context refers to "a low level or position or degree" - specifically, the lowest point of support for democracy (40%) from which it subsequently rose. This matches the definition and is exemplified by the phrase "from a low of 40%" which is analogous to the provided example "the stock market fell to a new low."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully to determine which sense of "low" is being used.

The sentence is: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

Here, "low" is describing a level or degree of support - specifically "a low of 40%". This indicates the lowest point or level that something reached. It's being used as a noun meaning "a minimum level" or "a low point."

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=low%1:26:00:: - An air mass of lower pressure; brings precipitation. This is a meteorological term. Not applicable here.

2. sense_key=low%1:18:00:: - British political cartoonist. This is a proper noun/person's name. Not applicable here.

3. sense_key=low%1:07:00:: - "a low level or position or degree" with example "the stock market fell to a new low". This fits perfectly! The context talks about support for democracy rising "from a low of 40%" - this is clearly referring to a low level/point, similar to the stock market example.

4. sense_key=low%1:06:00:: - The lowest forward gear ratio in a motor vehicle. This is about car transmission. Not applicable here.

The best answer is clearly sense 3, which refers to a low level, position, or degree, with a directly comparable example of "the stock market fell to a new low."

The target word "this year" in context refers to the specific calendar year during which the poll was taken (September and early October). The passage compares support for democracy in 2005 to support "this year," clearly indicating a standard 365/366-day calendar year period. This matches the primary sense of year as a regular temporal unit, not a specialized period for particular activities (sense 2), an astronomical measure (sense 3), or a cohort of students (sense 4).

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "year" is being used in this passage.

The target word "year" appears in the phrase: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense_key=year%1:28:01::** - "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - This is the standard definition of a year as a calendar year. Examples include "she is 4 years old; in the year 1920"

2. **sense_key=year%1:28:02::** - "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - This refers to things like "a school year" or "fiscal year"

3. **sense_key=year%1:28:00::** - "the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun" - This is a more technical/astronomical meaning

4. **sense_key=year%1:14:00::** - "a body of students who graduate together" - This refers to a class or cohort of students

In the context: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year"

The phrase "this year" refers to the current calendar year (2011 based on context mentioning September and early October). The passage mentions "this year's poll, taken in September and early October" and compares support in 2005 to support "this year."

This is clearly referring to a specific calendar year - the year the poll was taken (2011 or whenever it was). This is the most basic sense of "year" - a standard period of time containing approximately 365 days.
The correct sense is the first one—the standard calendar year definition.
