Which numbered sense of "trade" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising <t>trades</t> in which there is a shortage of local labor.

Senses:
1. definition=the commercial exchange (buying and selling on domestic or international markets) of goods and services | examples=Venice was an important center of trade with the East
2. definition=the skilled practice of a practical occupation | examples=he learned his trade as an apprentice
3. definition=the business given to a commercial establishment by its customers | examples=even before noon there was a considerable patronage
4. definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | examples=it was a package deal
5. definition=people who perform a particular kind of skilled work | examples=he represented the craft of brewers
6. definition=steady winds blowing from east to west above and below the equator | examples=they rode the trade winds going west
7. definition=an equal exchange | examples=we had no money so we had to live by barter

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising <t>trades</t> in which there is a shortage of local labor."

The phrase is "exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor."

Let me look at what each sense means:

1. Commercial exchange of goods and services - This is about buying and selling
2. The skilled practice of a practical occupation - This refers to occupations/professions that require skill
3. Business given to a commercial establishment by customers - This is about patronage
4. A particular instance of buying or selling - This is a single transaction
5. People who perform a particular kind of skilled work - This refers to people/craftspeople
6. Steady winds - This is about weather patterns
7. An equal exchange/barter - This is about trading/bartering

In the sentence, "trades" refers to skilled occupations or professions. The sentence is saying that immigrants work in trades (skilled occupations) where there's a shortage of local labor.

This matches sense 2: "the skilled practice of a practical occupation" - examples given include apprenticing to learn a trade, which is about skilled work/occupations.

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "shortage" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising trades in which there is a <t>shortage</t> of local labor.

Senses:
1. definition=the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required | examples=new blood vessels bud out from the already dilated vascular bed to make up the nutritional deficit
2. definition=an acute insufficiency

finish_reason: stop

role: assistant

Let me analyze the sentence to determine which definition of "shortage" is being used:

"But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising trades in which there is a <t>shortage</t> of local labor."

The sentence is talking about immigrants working in trades where there is a shortage of local labor. This means there is an insufficiency or lack of local workers in these trades.

Now let me compare with the two senses:

1. "the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required" - This fits the context. The shortage refers to local labor being less than what is required or expected.

2. "an acute insufficiency" - This means a severe or sudden insufficiency.

Looking at the context, the word "shortage" is used to describe a general lack or insufficiency of local labor in certain trades. While both definitions could potentially apply, definition 1 is more specific and accurately captures the meaning in this sentence - it's describing a deficiency in the amount of local labor available compared to what is required.

Definition 2 ("acute insufficiency") emphasizes the severity and suddenness of the shortage, but the sentence doesn't necessarily emphasize acute or sudden aspects - it's just saying there's a shortage.

I think sense 1 is the better fit.

Which numbered sense of "labor" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local <t>labor</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages | examples=there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field
2. definition=productive work (especially physical work done for wages) | examples=his labor did not require a great deal of skill
3. definition=concluding state of pregnancy; from the onset of contractions to the birth of a child | examples=she was in labor for six hours
4. definition=an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement
5. definition=a political party formed in Great Britain in 1900; characterized by the promotion of labor's interests and formerly the socialization of key industries
6. definition=the federal department responsible for promoting the working conditions of wage earners in the United States; created in 1913
7. definition=any piece of work that is undertaken or attempted | examples=he prepared for great undertakings

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the context of how "labor" is used:

"But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor."

The sentence is discussing how immigrants relate to the local workforce. It's saying immigrants are complementary to (not replacing) local labor. The phrase "shortage of local labor" refers to a lack of workers in certain trades.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages" - This could fit, as it refers to workers/people who work
2. "productive work (especially physical work done for wages)" - This refers to the work itself, the activity
3. "concluding state of pregnancy..." - Clearly not applicable
4. "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status..." - Not applicable here
5. "a political party formed in Great Britain..." - Not applicable
6. "the federal department responsible for promoting..." - Not applicable
7. "any piece of work that is undertaken or attempted" - Could potentially fit as general work

Looking at "shortage of local labor" - this is talking about a lack of workers/people willing to do certain work. It's referring to the workers themselves, not just the work as an activity.

The example for sense 1 is "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field" - this is almost identical in structure to our sentence's phrase "shortage of local labor."

The example for sense 2 is "his labor did not require a great deal of skill" - this is talking about the work/effort itself.

In our sentence, "labor" refers to the group of workers/the workforce, not the work activity. This best matches sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "sector" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in <t>sectors</t>, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment.

Senses:
1. definition=a plane figure bounded by two radii and the included arc of a circle
2. definition=a social group that forms part of the society or the economy | examples=the public sector
3. definition=a particular aspect of life or activity | examples=he was helpless in an important sector of his life
4. definition=the minimum track length that can be assigned to store information; unless otherwise specified a sector of data consists of 512 bytes
5. definition=a portion of a military position
6. definition=measuring instrument consisting of two graduated arms hinged at one end

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to determine which sense of "sector" is being used:

"Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

The sentence is talking about different types of sectors in the economy - one type that doesn't attract local labor (presumably low-skilled jobs) and another type (dynamic sectors) where training relates to employment offers.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a plane figure bounded by two radii and the included arc of a circle" - This is a geometric/mathematical definition. Not applicable here.

2. "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy | examples=the public sector" - This is about divisions of the economy or society. The example "public sector" suggests this refers to economic/social divisions. This fits perfectly with the sentence discussing types of work sectors.

3. "a particular aspect of life or activity | examples=he was helpless in an important sector of his life" - This is about aspects of life or activity in general, not specifically economic sectors.

4. "the minimum track length that can be assigned to store information; unless otherwise specified a sector of data consists of 512 bytes" - This is a technical computing definition. Not applicable.

5. "a portion of a military position" - This is military terminology. Not applicable.

6. "measuring instrument consisting of two graduated arms hinged at one end" - This is a tool. Not applicable.

The sentence clearly refers to economic sectors - types of work or industries. Sense 2 matches this usage perfectly, as it talks about "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy" and even gives the example "the public sector."

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "labor" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local <t>labor</t> and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment.

Senses:
1. definition=a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages | examples=there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field

Let me analyze the sentence to determine which sense of "labor" is being used:

"Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local <t>labor</t> and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

The sentence is talking about sectors that don't attract local "labor" - meaning workers or the workforce that does manual labor or work for wages.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages" - This fits well. The sentence is referring to local workers/workforce as a social class.

2. "productive work (especially physical work done for wages)" - This could also fit, as it's referring to the work itself that immigrants do.

3. "concluding state of pregnancy" - No, this doesn't fit the context at all.

4. "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status" - No, not about organized worker movements.

5. "a political party formed in Great Britain" - No, not about political parties.

6. "the federal department responsible for promoting working conditions" - No, not about a government department.

7. "any piece of work that is undertaken or attempted" - This could potentially fit as a general meaning of work.

Looking more carefully at the context: "sectors, which do not attract local labor" - this is referring to workers/the workforce. The most natural interpretation is sense 1 or sense 2.

Sense 1 emphasizes the social class of workers who do manual labor.
Sense 2 emphasizes the productive work itself.

In this context, "labor" refers to workers (the workforce), not the work activity itself. So sense 1 seems most appropriate as it refers to the class of people who do manual work.

Actually, both 1 and 2 could work, but sense 1 is more directly referring to the workers themselves ("those who do manual labor or work for wages"), which better fits the sentence's reference to "local labor" as a group of people/workforce.
The answer is sense 1 - the phrase "local labor" specifically denotes the workforce or social class of manual workers, not the work activity itself.

Which numbered sense of "one" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled <t>ones</t> in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment.

Senses:
1. definition=the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number | examples=he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it
2. definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one

raw_output:
2

The word "ones" is used as a pronoun referring to "immigrants." "The most highly skilled ones" means "the most highly skilled [immigrants]" - it's a reference to persons or things, which matches the second sense definition.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and understand what "ones" means in this context.

The sentence is: "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled <t>ones</t> in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

The word "ones" here is referring to "immigrants." Specifically, it's referring to "the most highly skilled immigrants" or "the most highly skilled [of the immigrants]."

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number" - This is the number 1, like in the example "he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it"

2. "a single person or thing" - This is using "one" as a pronoun to refer to a person or thing, like in the example "he is the best one"

In the sentence, "ones" is being used as a pronoun to refer to immigrants. "The most highly skilled ones" means "the most highly skilled [immigrants]." This is a definite reference to a person or group of people.

This matches sense 2: "a single person or thing" - specifically it's being used as a pronoun referring to persons (immigrants).

The answer is 2.

2

The word "ones" is used as a pronoun referring to "immigrants." "The most highly skilled ones" means "the most highly skilled [immigrants]" - it's a reference to persons or things, which matches the second sense definition.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2. Return only the integer.

Let me reconsider this. The sentence is:

"Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled <t>ones</t> in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

Looking at the two senses:
1. definition=the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number | examples=he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it
2. definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one

In the sentence, "ones" is used to refer to "the most highly skilled ones" - which means "the most highly skilled [immigrants]". This is referring to individual persons/things.

Sense 2 says "a single person or thing" with the example "he is the best one" - this matches. "Ones" is the plural of "one" used as a pronoun to replace a noun (immigrants).

So my answer of 2 was correct. But the user says it was invalid and is asking me to choose between 1 and 2 again.

Wait, maybe I need to reconsider. Let me look at the senses more carefully:

Sense 1 is about the numeral/number itself
Sense 2 is about a single person or thing

In "the most highly skilled ones" - this is using "one" as a pronoun to refer back to "immigrants" (persons). So it fits sense 2 - referring to single persons/things.

I think 2 is still the correct answer. Let me return 2.

Which numbered sense of "sector" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic <t>sectors</t> where training does is not linked to offers of employment.

Senses:
1. definition=a plane figure bounded by two radii and the included arc of a circle
2. definition=a social group that forms part of the society or the economy | examples=the public sector
3. definition=a particular aspect of life or activity | examples=he was helpless in an important sector of his life
4. definition=the minimum track length that can be assigned to store information; unless otherwise specified a sector of data consists of 512 bytes
5. definition=a portion of a military position
6. definition=measuring instrument consisting of two graduated arms hinged at one end

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

The sentence is: "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

Looking at how "sectors" is used here:
- "work in sectors, which do not attract local labor" - this is referring to areas of the economy/work
- "dynamic sectors where training" - again referring to areas of economic activity related to training and employment

Let me check the definitions:
1. A plane figure bounded by two radii and the included arc of a circle - This is a geometric term, doesn't fit.
2. A social group that forms part of the society or the economy | examples=the public sector - This fits! The sentence is discussing different sectors of the economy where different types of workers are employed.
3. A particular aspect of life or activity | examples=he was helpless in an important sector of his life - This could potentially fit, but it's more about social/economic sectors.
4. The minimum track length that can be assigned to store information - This is technical/computing, doesn't fit.
5. A portion of a military position - Military term, doesn't fit.
6. A measuring instrument - Doesn't fit.

The best fit is definition 2, which explicitly mentions "the public sector" and refers to social groups that form part of the economy. The sentence is talking about different sectors of the economy (those that attract/don't attract local labor, dynamic sectors), which aligns with sense 2.

Which numbered sense of "training" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where <t>training</t> does is not linked to offers of employment.

Senses:
1. definition=activity leading to skilled behavior
2. definition=the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior) | examples=a woman of breeding and refinement

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "training" is being used:

"Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where <t>training</t> does is not linked to offers of employment."

In this sentence, "training" appears in the context of being "linked to offers of employment." This is discussing the activity or process of acquiring skills that could lead to employment opportunities.

Let me consider both senses:

1. "activity leading to skilled behavior" - This refers to the process/activity of training, teaching someone to develop skills. In the sentence, training is what leads to skilled behavior and employment.

2. "the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior)" - This refers to education/socialization and proper conduct. The examples given are "a woman of breeding and refinement," which suggests cultural refinement and social behavior.

Looking at the sentence again: "training does is not linked to offers of employment" - this is discussing whether the training/skill development is connected to job opportunities. This aligns with sense 1, which refers to the activity of developing skills through training.

The answer is: 1

Which numbered sense of "offer" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to <t>offers</t> of employment.

Senses:
1. definition=the verbal act of offering | examples=a generous offer of assistance
2. definition=something offered (as a proposal or bid) | examples=noteworthy new offerings for investors included several index funds
3. definition=a usually brief attempt | examples=he took a crack at it

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

The sentence reads: "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to <t>offers</t> of employment."

The word "offers" is used in the phrase "offers of employment." This means proposals or proposals of employment that could be given to someone.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the verbal act of offering" - This would be about the action of offering something, not the thing itself.

2. "something offered (as a proposal or bid)" - This fits perfectly. An "offer of employment" is something that is offered, a proposal of employment.

3. "a usually brief attempt" - This doesn't fit the context at all.

The sentence is talking about "offers of employment" which are proposals or bids for employment. This is clearly sense 2 - something offered as a proposal.

Which numbered sense of "employment" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of <t>employment</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the state of being employed or having a job | examples=they are looking for employment
2. definition=the occupation for which you are paid | examples=he is looking for employment
3. definition=the act of giving someone a job
4. definition=the act of using | examples=he warned against the use of narcotic drugs

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "employment" is being used:

"Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

The context here is about "offers of employment" - meaning offers of jobs or job positions. The sentence is discussing that training is not linked to job offers.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the state of being employed or having a job" - This refers to the condition/state of having a job
2. "the occupation for which you are paid" - This refers to the specific job or occupation itself
3. "the act of giving someone a job" - This is about the action of hiring
4. "the act of using" - This is about using something

In the phrase "offers of employment," we're talking about offers of jobs or job positions being offered to people. This is closest to sense 1 - "the state of being employed or having a job" - because when someone receives an offer of employment, they are receiving an offer to be in the state of being employed.

Actually, looking more carefully, "employment" here could also be interpreted as sense 2 (the occupation/job itself). But "offers of employment" most naturally refers to offers that would put someone into the state of having a job, so sense 1 seems most appropriate.

The answer should be 1.

Which numbered sense of "effect" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A positive <t>effect</t> on wages

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
2. definition=an outward appearance | examples=he made a good impression
3. definition=an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived) | examples=he just did it for effect
4. definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
5. definition=(of a law) having legal validity | examples=the law is still in effect
6. definition=a symptom caused by an illness or a drug | examples=the effects of sleep loss

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "A positive effect on wages"

I need to determine which sense of "effect" is being used here.

Let me go through each sense:

1. "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - This refers to a consequence or result of something. In the context of "a positive effect on wages," this means wages are influenced (positively) by something - this is about a result or consequence.

2. "an outward appearance" - This doesn't fit. We're not talking about how something looks.

3. "an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived)" - This doesn't fit. "Effect" here is not about a manufactured impression.

4. "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work" - This doesn't fit at all.

5. "(of a law) having legal validity" - This doesn't fit. We're not discussing whether something is legally valid.

6. "a symptom caused by an illness or a drug" - This doesn't fit specifically, though it's about consequences, it's specifically about medical symptoms.

The phrase "positive effect on wages" means that something causes a positive change/consequence in wages. This is best described by sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - which is essentially the definition of a result or consequence.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "way" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In the same <t>way</t> as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals.

Senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control
3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction
4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is
5. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue
6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out
7. definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way
8. definition=space for movement | examples=room to pass
9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow
10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way
11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing
12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "In the same <t>way</t> as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals."

The phrase is "in the same way as" which is asking how something happens or how something is done.

Looking at the senses:
1. "how something is done or how it happens" - This seems to fit. "In the same way as" means "in the same manner as" or "just as"
2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - This could potentially fit as a means
3. "a line leading to a place or point" - No, not about direction
4. "the condition of things generally" - No
5. "a course of conduct" - Could fit as manner of conduct
6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - No
7. "a journey or passage" - No
8. "space for movement" - No
9. "the property of distance in general" - No
10. "doing as one pleases or chooses" - No
11. "a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of'" - This is specifically for "in the way of" but not "in the way"
12. "a portion of something divided into shares" - No

Sense 1 is the most appropriate: "how something is done or how it happens" - The sentence is comparing how something happens in the context of surgeons to how something happens with immigrants and locals.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "country" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a <t>country</t> with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals.

Senses:
1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "country" is being used:

"In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a <t>country</t> with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals."

The sentence is talking about a surgeon working in a country that has a shortage of anaesthetists. The context suggests:
- It's a place where people live and work
- It's a place that can have healthcare infrastructure (anaesthetists)
- It's contrasted with "locals and immigrants" - suggesting it's a place with a government/political organization
- The surgeon would work there, and locals/immigrants live there

Let me check each sense:

1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This could fit. A country is a political entity with government organization, healthcare systems, etc.

2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - This refers to the geographic territory/land itself.

3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - This refers to the population/people, not the physical or political entity.

4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - This is rural areas, which doesn't fit the context of surgeons and anaesthetists working there.

5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This is too vague and doesn't fit.

In the sentence, "country" refers to a place where there can be medical professionals (surgeons, anaesthetists) and where there are both "locals and immigrants." This indicates a politically organized entity with infrastructure and populations - which is sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government."

Which numbered sense of "shortage" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a <t>shortage</t> of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals.

Senses:
1. definition=the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required | examples=new blood vessels bud out from the already dilated vascular bed to make up the nutritional deficit
2. definition=an acute insufficiency

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the two senses of "shortage" provided and determine which one is used in the sentence.

The sentence talks about a country with a "shortage of anaesthetists" - meaning there aren't enough anaesthetists in that country.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required" - This is defined as the state of lacking the required amount of something. The example given is about a "nutritional deficit" which is the same concept - lacking the required nutrition.

2. "an acute insufficiency" - This means a sharp or severe lack of something.

In the sentence, "shortage of anaesthetists" means there is a lack of anaesthetists - they don't have enough of them. This is clearly referring to a deficiency or insufficiency.

Both definitions seem to capture the meaning, but let me think more carefully:

Sense 1 explicitly defines it as "the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required" - this fits perfectly with having fewer anaesthetists than needed.

Sense 2 is "an acute insufficiency" - this is more about an acute/severe lack.

In the context of the sentence, we're talking about a general shortage (lack of sufficient anaesthetists), not necessarily describing it as "acute" or severely severe. However, it could be either.

Actually, both definitions work, but Sense 1 seems more direct and precise - it's specifically about being less than what is required, which is exactly what a shortage means.

Let me go with Sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "complementarity" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the <t>complementarities</t> existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals.

Senses:
1. definition=a relation between two opposite states or principles that together exhaust the possibilities
2. definition=the interrelation of reciprocity whereby one thing supplements or depends on the other | examples=the complementarity of the sexes

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "complementarity" is being used.

The sentence states: "the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals."

The context is comparing it to a surgeon who needs anaesthetists to work effectively. The point is that locals and immigrants have complementary skills or roles - they supplement each other. Immigrants fill gaps or roles that supplement the work of locals, just like anaesthetists are necessary to supplement the surgeon's work.

Let me examine the two senses:

1. "a relation between two opposite states or principles that together exhaust the possibilities" - This is about opposite states or principles that are mutually exclusive and together cover all possibilities.

2. "the interrelation of reciprocity whereby one thing supplements or depends on the other | examples=the complementarity of the sexes" - This is about things that supplement each other or have reciprocal dependence.

In the sentence, the complementarities between locals and immigrants are described as bringing about a positive effect on locals' pay. This suggests that immigrants supplement or complete something that locals need - they have reciprocal roles that benefit each other. This is more about supplementation and interdependence rather than opposite states that exhaust possibilities.

This matches sense 2 better - it's about reciprocal supplementation.

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "arrival" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the <t>arrival</t> of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals.

Senses:
1. definition=accomplishment of an objective
2. definition=the act of arriving at a certain place | examples=they awaited her arrival
3. definition=someone who arrives (or has arrived)

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to determine which definition of "arrival" is being used.

The sentence is: "In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "accomplishment of an objective" - This would mean the arrival of immigrants refers to achieving some objective. This doesn't fit the context well.

2. "the act of arriving at a certain place | examples=they awaited her arrival" - This refers to the action/process of coming to a place. In this context, "arrival of immigrants" refers to the act/process of immigrants coming to a country. This seems to fit.

3. "someone who arrives (or has arrived)" - This would mean "arrival" refers to a person or people. The phrase would then be "the [person] of immigrants" which doesn't make grammatical sense. This doesn't fit.

The sentence is talking about "the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect..." - this is clearly referring to the act/process of immigrants arriving at a place (the country), not a person or an accomplished objective.

The answer should be 2.

Which numbered sense of "effect" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive <t>effect</t> on the pay of locals.

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
2. definition=an outward appearance | examples=he made a good impression
3. definition=an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived) | examples=he just did it for effect
4. definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
5. definition=(of a law) having legal validity | examples=the law is still in effect
6. definition=a symptom caused by an illness or a drug | examples=the effects of sleep loss

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

The sentence states: "the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals."

This is saying that the arrival of immigrants causes a positive change/result on the pay of locals. In other words, the arrival of immigrants is a previous phenomenon (cause) that results in a consequence (a positive change in pay).

Let me check each sense:

1. "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - This fits perfectly. The arrival of immigrants is the cause, and the positive change in pay is the effect/consequence that follows.

2. "an outward appearance" - No, this doesn't fit.

3. "an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived)" - No, this doesn't fit. It's not talking about creating an impression.

4. "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work" - No, this doesn't fit.

5. "(of a law) having legal validity" - No, this doesn't fit. Nothing about laws here.

6. "a symptom caused by an illness or a drug" - No, this is too specific and doesn't apply here.

The correct answer is sense 1, which defines "effect" as "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon."

Which numbered sense of "rise" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Giovanni Peri has calculated that a <t>rise</t> of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay.

Senses:
1. definition=a growth in strength or number or importance
2. definition=the act of changing location in an upward direction
3. definition=an upward slope or grade (as in a road) | examples=the car couldn't make it up the rise
4. definition=a movement upward | examples=they cheered the rise of the hot-air balloon
5. definition=the amount a salary is increased | examples=he got a 3% raise
6. definition=the property possessed by a slope or surface that rises
7. definition=a wave that lifts the surface of the water or ground
8. definition=(theology) the origination of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost | examples=the emanation of the Holy Spirit
9. definition=an increase in cost | examples=they asked for a 10% rise in rates
10. definition=increase in price or value | examples=the news caused a general advance on the stock market

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence carefully:

"Giovanni Peri has calculated that a <t>rise</t> of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay."

The sentence is talking about a rise of 1% in the migratory flow, and this causes an increase in real long-term pay. So "rise" here means an increase - specifically an increase in the migratory flow.

Let me go through the definitions:

1. "a growth in strength or number or importance" - This could fit, as we're talking about growth/increase in the migratory flow
2. "the act of changing location in an upward direction" - Not relevant, this is about physical movement
3. "an upward slope or grade (as in a road)" - Not relevant, this is about physical terrain
4. "a movement upward" - Not relevant, this is about physical movement
5. "the amount a salary is increased" - Not relevant, this is specifically about salary/raise
6. "the property possessed by a slope or surface that rises" - Not relevant, physical property
7. "a wave that lifts the surface of the water or ground" - Not relevant, about waves
8. "(theology) the origination of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost" - Not relevant, theological term
9. "an increase in cost" - This could fit, as we're talking about an increase in the migratory flow
10. "increase in price or value" - Could fit, increase in the migratory flow

The context is about an increase in "migratory flow" which is a quantity/number. Looking at the definitions:
- Definition 1: "a growth in strength or number or importance" - This directly fits. A rise in migratory flow is a growth in number.
- Definition 9: "an increase in cost" - This is specifically about costs, not applicable here
- Definition 10: "increase in price or value" - This is about price/value, not applicable here
- Definition 1 best captures what's happening—a quantitative growth in the migratory flow itself.

Which numbered sense of "flow" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory <t>flow</t> causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay.

Senses:
1. definition=the motion characteristic of fluids (liquids or gases)
2. definition=the amount of fluid that flows in a given time
3. definition=the act of flowing or streaming; continuous progression
4. definition=any uninterrupted stream or discharge
5. definition=something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously | examples=a stream of people emptied from the terminal
6. definition=dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas | examples=two streams of development run through American history
7. definition=the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from puberty to menopause; ; --Hippocrates; --Aristotle | examples=the women were sickly and subject to excessive menstruation

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory <t>flow</t> causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay."

Here, "migratory flow" refers to the movement or migration of people from one place to another. Let me check each sense:

1. "the motion characteristic of fluids (liquids or gases)" - No, this is about physical fluids, not migration of people.

2. "the amount of fluid that flows in a given time" - No, same as above, this is about physical fluids.

3. "the act of flowing or streaming; continuous progression" - This could be relevant as it refers to a continuous progression/movement.

4. "any uninterrupted stream or discharge" - This could work as migratory flow is an uninterrupted stream of people.

5. "something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously | examples=a stream of people emptied from the terminal" - This seems very relevant! The example specifically mentions "a stream of people" which is exactly what migratory flow is - people continuously moving.

6. "dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas" - This is more about abstract concepts like history or ideas, not about people movement.

7. "the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus..." - This is specifically about menstruation, not relevant here.

The best fit is sense 5, which specifically uses an example of "a stream of people" and defines flow as "something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously." Migratory flow is the continuous movement of people from one place to another, which perfectly matches this definition.

Which numbered sense of "increase" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an <t>increase</t> of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses provided.

The sentence is: "Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an <t>increase</t> of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay."

Let me look at how "increase" is used here:
- "an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9%"
- This is referring to the amount by which something increases (the real long-term pay)
- It's quantified as "0,6 and 0,9%"

Now let me match this with the senses:

1. "a quantity that is added" - This is about addition, not quite matching
2. "a change resulting in an increase" - This is about the change/result
3. "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - This is about the process
4. "the amount by which something increases" - This matches! "an increase of 0,6 and 0,9%" is the amount by which real long-term pay increases
5. "the act of increasing something" - This is about the action

Sense 4 is the best match because the sentence is specifying the amount (0,6 to 0,9%) by which real long-term pay increases.

Which numbered sense of "fact" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the <t>fact</t> that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred | examples=first you must collect all the facts of the case
2. definition=a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened | examples=he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts
3. definition=an event known to have happened or something known to have existed | examples=your fears have no basis in fact
4. definition=a concept whose truth can be proved | examples=scientific hypotheses are not facts

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the usage of "fact" in this sentence:

"And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth..."

The word "fact" here is being used to refer to something that is true - specifically, that "the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth."

Let me consider each sense:

1. "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred" - This is about a piece of information regarding actual circumstances or events. The sentence is saying "without taking into account [the piece of information] that..."

2. "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened" - This is about a statement/assertion of verified information.

3. "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed" - This refers to events or things that existed.

4. "a concept whose truth can be proved" - This refers to a concept that can be proven.

In the sentence, "the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth" is being presented as a piece of information/circumstance that exists - it's something true about the world.

This most closely matches sense 1: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred" - because the fact is presented as information about a circumstance (that diversity from immigrants contributes to ideas and growth).

Actually, it could also be sense 3 - "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed" - since the diversity and its contributions are real circumstances/things that exist.

But I think sense 1 is more appropriate because it's describing the "fact" as a piece of information about circumstances, which is what's being discussed here.

Which numbered sense of "diversity" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the <t>diversity</t> contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=noticeable heterogeneity | examples=a diversity of possibilities
2. definition=the condition or result of being changeable

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "diversity" is being used.

The sentence states: "And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth..."

The context is about immigrants and how their "diversity" contributes to ideas and economic growth. The examples given (Nobel prize winners, founding of tech companies) illustrate different perspectives, backgrounds, and viewpoints that immigrants bring.

In this context, "diversity" refers to the variety and heterogeneity of perspectives, backgrounds, and approaches that immigrants contribute - this is "noticeable heterogeneity."

Sense 1: "noticeable heterogeneity" with example "a diversity of possibilities" - this matches the usage in the sentence where diversity refers to the variety/heterogeneity of contributions from different immigrants.

Sense 2: "the condition or result of being changeable" - this is about changeability, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "creation" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the <t>creation</t> of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=the human act of creating
2. definition=an artifact that has been brought into existence by someone
3. definition=the event that occurred at the beginning of something | examples=from its creation the plan was doomed to failure
4. definition=the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new | examples=she looked forward to her initiation as an adult
5. definition=(theology) God's act of bringing the universe into existence
6. definition=everything that exists anywhere | examples=they study the evolution of the universe

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

The sentence reads: "...the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the <t>creation</t> of ideas and to economic growth..."

Looking at the context, "creation of ideas" means the act or process of bringing ideas into existence. This is talking about the act of producing or bringing something new into being.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the human act of creating" - This is about the act of creating in general. The sentence talks about creating ideas, which is a human act.

2. "an artifact that has been brought into existence by someone" - This would mean "creation" refers to the actual thing created (ideas themselves), not the act of creating them.

3. "the event that occurred at the beginning of something | examples=from its creation the plan was doomed to failure" - This refers to the beginning/origin point of something specific.

4. "the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new | examples=she looked forward to her initiation as an adult" - This is about starting or introducing something new for the first time.

5. "(theology) God's act of bringing the universe into existence" - This is specifically theological.

6. "everything that exists anywhere" - This is about the totality of existence.

In the context "creation of ideas," this is talking about the act of bringing ideas into existence. Sense 1 ("the human act of creating") seems most appropriate. However, sense 4 could also work as it's about "the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new."

Actually, looking more carefully, "creation of ideas" suggests the act of originating or producing ideas. Sense 1 is the most general sense of "the human act of creating," which fits well here.

The answer should be 1.

Which numbered sense of "idea" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of <t>ideas</t> and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

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

The sentence is: "And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of <t>ideas</t> and to economic growth..."

The context is about how immigrant diversity contributes to the creation of ideas and economic growth. The examples given are about innovations and companies founded by immigrants - these are intellectual creations or concepts.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - This could fit, as ideas are things that people think about and create through cognition.

2. "your intention; what you intend to do" - This doesn't fit well. The sentence isn't about intentions.

3. "a personal view" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about personal views or beliefs.

4. "an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth" - This doesn't fit at all.

5. "(music) melodic subject of a musical composition" - This doesn't fit.

The sentence is talking about ideas in the sense of innovations, concepts, or intellectual creations that contribute to economic growth. This best matches sense 1 - "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - because ideas here refer to the intellectual content and thoughts/concepts that drive innovation and economic advancement.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "proportion" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large <t>proportion</t> of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole
2. definition=magnitude or extent | examples=a building of vast proportions
3. definition=balance among the parts of something
4. definition=the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree | examples=an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations
5. definition=harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design); - John Ruskin | examples=in all perfectly beautiful objects there is found the opposition of one part to another and a reciprocal balance

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and determine which sense of "proportion" is being used.

The sentence: "And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants)."

The phrase in question is: "a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners"

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole" - This is about a mathematical fraction/ratio
2. "magnitude or extent | examples=a building of vast proportions" - This is about size or extent
3. "balance among the parts of something" - This is about equilibrium/balance
4. "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree | examples=an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" - This is about relative amounts/quantities
5. "harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design)" - This is about aesthetic/artistic harmony

In the sentence, "a large proportion of naturalised immigrants" is referring to the relative quantity or comparative amount of naturalised immigrants who are Nobel prize winners. It's talking about what fraction/portion of the group fits this description.

This matches sense 4 best: "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree" with the example "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" - which is a similar use of talking about relative amounts.

Actually, sense 1 is also very close, but sense 4 seems more general and encompasses the idea of relative quantity without necessarily being strictly mathematical.

The answer is 4.

Which numbered sense of "american" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among <t>American</t> Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to the United States of America or its people or language or culture | examples=American citizens
2. definition=of or relating to or characteristic of the continents and islands of the Americas | examples=the American hemisphere

reasoning_content:
The sentence uses "American" to describe the Nobel prize winners who were naturalized immigrants. The context is specifically about the United States of America - talking about naturalised immigrants (who would have become US citizens) winning Nobel prizes and founding companies like Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo (all US-based companies).

Let me check the two senses:
1. "of or relating to the United States of America or its people or language or culture" - This fits perfectly. The American Nobel prize winners are prize winners from/of the USA.
2. "of or relating to or characteristic of the continents and islands of the Americas" - This is broader and refers to the Americas more generally, not specifically the USA.

The sentence is clearly referring to the United States specifically, not the Americas in general. So the answer is sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "winner" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize <t>winners</t>, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=the contestant who wins the contest
2. definition=a gambler who wins a bet
3. definition=a person with a record of successes | examples=his son would never be the achiever that his father was

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "winner" is being used.

The sentence says: "a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners"

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the contestant who wins the contest" - A Nobel prize winner would be someone who wins the Nobel prize contest/award. This fits well.

2. "a gambler who wins a bet" - This doesn't apply here. Nobel prize winners are not necessarily gamblers or people winning bets.

3. "a person with a record of successes" - This could apply in a broader sense, as Nobel prize winners are successful people.

However, the most direct and specific meaning in this context is sense 1. The Nobel prize winners are literally people who won/won the Nobel prize contest. They are "contestants" (in a broad sense - competing for the prize) who won.

The sentence is specifically referring to people who have won the Nobel prize, so sense 1 is the most appropriate and direct match.

Which numbered sense of "yahoo" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and <t>Yahoo</t> were all founded by immigrants).

Senses:
1. definition=a person who is not very intelligent or interested in culture
2. definition=one of a race of brutes resembling men but subject to the Houyhnhnms in a novel by Jonathan Swift
3. definition=a widely used search engine for the web that finds information, news, images, products, finance

reasoning_content:
The sentence is discussing how immigrants have contributed to economic growth and innovation in America, with examples of major tech companies. In this context, "Yahoo" refers to the search engine company that was founded by immigrants.

Looking at the three senses:
1. "a person who is not very intelligent or interested in culture" - This is not relevant to the context
2. "one of a race of brutes resembling men but subject to the Houyhnhnms in a novel by Jonathan Swift" - This is a reference to Gulliver's Travels, not relevant here
3. "a widely used search engine for the web that finds information, news, images, products, finance" - This is clearly the correct sense, as Yahoo is being listed as a company founded by immigrants

The answer is 3.

1. Someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money
2. A writer whose work is published in a newspaper or magazine or as part of a book

In the sentence, "contributors to social systems" refers to people who contribute or give something (in this case, money/payments) to social systems. The migrants are described as "net contributors" who contribute an average of 1% of the total budgets.

This matches sense 1: "someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money" - because the context is about contributing financially to social systems.

It does NOT match sense 2 because there's no mention of writers or published works.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "budget" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Migrants are also net contributors to social systems, averaging 1% of the total <t>budgets</t> of European countries.

Senses:
1. definition=a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose | examples=the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year
2. definition=a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them | examples=the president submitted the annual budget to Congress

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to determine which sense of "budget" is being used:

"Migrants are also net contributors to social systems, averaging 1% of the total budgets of European countries."

The sentence is talking about "the total budgets of European countries" - this refers to the sum of money allocated for particular purposes by European countries for their social systems and overall government spending.

Let me examine both senses:

1. "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose" - This refers to a specific amount of money designated for a specific purpose. The example "the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year" shows a specific amount allocated to run a laboratory.

2. "a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them" - This is a plan/proposal for spending. The example "the president submitted the annual budget to Congress" shows a proposal/plan for spending.

In the sentence, "the total budgets of European countries" refers to the total sums of money that these countries have allocated for all their purposes. This fits sense 1 better - it's talking about the actual sums of money allocated, not the formal proposals/plans for those expenditures.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "labor" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World <t>Labor</t> Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages | examples=there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field
2. definition=productive work (especially physical work done for wages) | examples=his labor did not require a great deal of skill
3. definition=concluding state of pregnancy; from the onset of contractions to the birth of a child | examples=she was in labor for six hours
4. definition=an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement
5. definition=a political party formed in Great Britain in 1900; characterized by the promotion of labor's interests and formerly the socialization of key industries
6. definition=the federal department responsible for promoting the working conditions of wage earners in the United States; created in 1913
7. definition=any piece of work that is undertaken or attempted | examples=he prepared for great undertakings

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

In this context, "Labor" is part of "World Labour Organisation" (also known as ILO - International Labour Organization). It's referring to an organization that represents workers and their interests.

Let me look at each sense:
1. A social class comprising those who do manual labor - No, that's not what's meant here
2. Productive work (physical work for wages) - No, not directly about work itself
3. State of pregnancy/childbirth - No
4. An organized attempt by workers to improve their status (labor unions) or the leaders of this movement - This could fit, as it refers to the labor movement/organized labor
5. A political party in Great Britain - No, the ILO isn't a political party
6. The federal department in the US - No, the ILO is not a US department
7. Any piece of work that is undertaken - No

The World Labour Organisation is an international organization that deals with labor issues, workers' rights, and employment. When referring to this organization by name, it's using "labor" in sense 4, which refers to "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement." The organization itself is about the labor movement and workers' interests.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 4, it's about organized attempts by workers and the labor movement. The World Labour Organisation is indeed the leading organization representing this.

So the answer is 4.

Which numbered sense of "organisation" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World Labor <t>Organisation</t> estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something | examples=he claims that the present administration is corrupt
2. definition=a group of people who work together
3. definition=an organized structure for arranging or classifying | examples=he changed the arrangement of the topics
4. definition=an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized | examples=his compulsive organization was not an endearing quality
5. definition=the act of organizing a business or an activity related to a business | examples=he was brought in to supervise the organization of a new department
6. definition=the activity or result of distributing or disposing persons or things properly or methodically | examples=his organization of the work force was very efficient
7. definition=the act of forming or establishing something | examples=the constitution of a PTA group last year

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and each sense of "organisation":

"The World Labor <t>Organisation</t> estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budies during his lifetime."

In this context, "World Labor Organisation" refers to a specific entity - it's an actual international organization. Looking at the senses:

1. "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something" - This fits. The World Labor Organisation is made up of people and committees that administer labor affairs.

2. "a group of people who work together" - This could fit too, as an organization is a group of people.

3. "an organized structure for arranging or classifying" - Not the best fit here.

4. "an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized" - No, this is about orderliness/methodology.

5. "the act of organizing a business or an activity related to a business" - This is about the process, not the entity itself.

6. "the activity or result of distributing or disposing persons or things properly or methodically" - This is more about the process.

7. "the act of forming or establishing something" - This is about the process of creation.

Between 1 and 2, sense 1 is more specific - it refers to "the persons...who make up a body for the purpose of administering something." The World Labor Organisation is indeed a body of persons administering labor matters.

Sense 2 is simpler - just "a group of people who work together."

I think sense 1 is the most appropriate because it specifically mentions administering purposes, and the World Labor Organisation has an administrative purpose related to labor affairs. However, sense 2 is also quite fitting.
Sense 1 is the best fit here. It explicitly describes an institutional body composed of people and committees that administers something—which is precisely what the World Labor Organisation is. The other senses focus on processes or abstract qualities rather than the concrete entity itself.

Which numbered sense of "age" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the <t>age</t> of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=how long something has existed | examples=it was replaced because of its age
2. definition=an era of history having some distinctive feature | examples=we live in a litigious age
3. definition=a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises | examples=she was now of school age
4. definition=a prolonged period of time | examples=we've known each other for ages
5. definition=a late time of life | examples=old age is not for sissies

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to determine which sense of "age" is being used:

"The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution..."

The phrase is "at the age of 30" - this is referring to a person's time of life, specifically their current point in the lifespan measured in years (30 years old).

Let me check each sense:

1. "how long something has existed" - No, this isn't about how long something has existed
2. "an era of history having some distinctive feature" - No, this isn't referring to a historical era
3. "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises" - Yes! This is about a time of life at a specific point in years (30 years)
4. "a prolonged period of time" - No, this is not referring to a prolonged period of time in general
5. "a late time of life" - No, this is not specifically about old age, it's about being 30 years old

The correct answer is sense 3, which refers to "a time of life (usually defined in years)". The example given is "she was now of school age" which is similar usage - referring to a point in someone's lifespan.

Which numbered sense of "contribution" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net <t>contribution</t> (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=the part played by a person in bringing about a result | examples=I am proud of my contribution in advancing the project
2. definition=a voluntary gift (as of money or service or ideas) made to some worthwhile cause
3. definition=act of giving in common with others for a common purpose especially to a charity
4. definition=an amount of money contributed | examples=he expected his contribution to be repaid with interest
5. definition=a writing for publication especially one of a collection of writings as an article or story

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and each sense of "contribution":

The sentence is: "The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

The context here is about an amount of money (150,000 Euros) that is contributed to public budgets. The parenthetical "(receipts less expenditure)" clarifies that this is a monetary amount calculated as the difference between what is received and what is spent.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the part played by a person in bringing about a result" - This doesn't fit because it's not about the part played, but about a monetary amount.

2. "a voluntary gift (as of money or service or ideas) made to some worthwhile cause" - While this could involve money, it emphasizes a voluntary gift, which doesn't quite match the context of a calculated net financial contribution to public budgets.

3. "act of giving in common with others for a common purpose especially to a charity" - This is about the act of giving, not specifically about an amount of money.

4. "an amount of money contributed" - This fits perfectly. The sentence is talking about 150,000 Euros, which is specifically an amount of money.

5. "a writing for publication" - This doesn't fit at all.

The answer is 4.

Which numbered sense of "expenditure" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less <t>expenditure</t>) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=money paid out; an amount spent
2. definition=the act of spending money for goods or services
3. definition=the act of consuming something

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the usage of "expenditure" in this sentence.

The sentence states: "...will make a net contribution (receipts less <t>expenditure</t>) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

The sentence is comparing receipts (money coming in) with expenditure (money going out). In the context of public budgets, expenditure refers to the money that is paid out or spent by the government. They're calculating receipts minus expenditure to get a net contribution.

Let me check each sense:

1. "money paid out; an amount spent" - This fits perfectly. The expenditure here refers to the amount of money paid out by public budgets.

2. "the act of spending money for goods or services" - While this is about spending, the sentence is referring to an amount/total, not the act itself.

3. "the act of consuming something" - This doesn't fit the context. They're not talking about consuming goods, but rather government spending/payments.

The correct answer is sense 1, as it refers to money paid out in the context of public budgets.

Which numbered sense of "average" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an <t>average</t> of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | examples=it set the norm for American homes
2. definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
3. definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the three senses of "average":

The sentence reads: "...a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros..."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a statistic describing the location of a distribution" - This refers to statistical measures like mean, median, or mode that describe where the central tendency of a distribution lies. The example given is "it set the norm for American homes" which suggests a typical value in a distribution.

2. "(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities" - This is about sports statistics, not relevant here.

3. "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual" - This refers to something being typical or ordinary, in the middle range. The example is "he is about average in height" meaning neither tall nor short.

In the sentence, "an average of 150,000 Euros" is referring to a statistic that describes a typical or central value - specifically, a mean value representing the expected net contribution. This is about describing a central measure of a distribution of contributions across immigrants.

The key phrase is "an average of 150,000 Euros" which is using "average" in the statistical sense - as a measure describing the typical/central value of a set of data (the net contributions of immigrants).

This matches sense 1 best - it's describing a statistic that shows the location/typical value of a distribution of net contributions.

Which numbered sense of "budget" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public <t>budgets</t> during his lifetime.

Senses:
1. definition=a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose | examples=the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year
2. definition=a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them | examples=the president submitted the annual budget to Congress

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

The sentence states: "...will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose" - example: "the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year"
   - This refers to a specific amount of money set aside for something

2. "a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them" - example: "the president submitted the annual budget to Congress"
   - This refers to a plan/document showing planned expenditures and revenues

In the sentence, "budgets" refers to public finances/treasuries - the context is about money contributed to public finances. The phrase "net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of... to public budgets" is talking about the amount of money going into the public financial system.

This seems to fit more with sense 1 - a sum of money allocated for particular purposes (in this case, public budgets as the total pool of public money). It's referring to the aggregate of public funds/money.

Actually, looking more carefully, "public budgets" here could refer to the government's budgets - meaning the overall public finances/treasuries. The contribution is going "to public budgets" - meaning to the public funds.

This aligns more with sense 1: a sum of money (the public treasury/public funds allocated for various purposes).

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "mandate" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Nicolas Sarkozy wished at the start of his <t>mandate</t> to look for missing points of growth "with the teeth."

Senses:
1. definition=a document giving an official instruction or command
2. definition=a territory surrendered by Turkey or Germany after World War I and put under the tutelage of some other European power until they are able to stand by themselves
3. definition=the commission that is given to a government and its policies through an electoral victory

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Nicolas Sarkozy wished at the start of his <t>mandate</t> to look for missing points of growth "with the teeth.""

Nicolas Sarkozy was the President of France from 2007 to 2012. A "mandate" in this context refers to his term as president - the authority he was given through winning the election to govern.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a document giving an official instruction or command" - This is too narrow. This would be about a specific document, not the overall concept of his presidency.

2. "a territory surrendered by Turkey or Germany after World War I and put under the tutelage of some other European power until they are able to stand by themselves" - This is clearly not it. This is a historical/political sense referring to specific territories.

3. "the commission that is given to a government and its policies through an electoral victory" - This fits perfectly. Sarkozy won the election and therefore received a mandate from the voters to govern with his policies.

The answer is 3.

Which numbered sense of "growth" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Nicolas Sarkozy wished at the start of his mandate to look for missing points of <t>growth</t> "with the teeth."

Senses:
1. definition=(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children
2. definition=a progression from simpler to more complex forms | examples=the growth of culture
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=vegetation that has grown | examples=a growth of trees
5. definition=the gradual beginning or coming forth | examples=figurines presage the emergence of sculpture in Greece
6. definition=(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)
7. definition=something grown or growing | examples=a growth of hair

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Nicolas Sarkozy wished at the start of his mandate to look for missing points of growth 'with the teeth.'"

This is referring to economic or policy growth - looking for missing opportunities or areas where growth could occur. Sarkozy, as a political leader, would be discussing economic growth or development.

Let me examine each sense:

1. Biology - process of organism growing - NOT applicable here
2. A progression from simpler to more complex forms; the growth of culture - This could fit as it's about progression/development
3. A process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important; the increase in unemployment - This fits! Growth in the economic sense means increase in size, importance, economic activity, etc.
4. Vegetation that has grown - NOT applicable
5. The gradual beginning or coming forth - NOT the primary meaning here
6. Pathology - abnormal proliferation of tissue - NOT applicable
7. Something grown or growing - Too vague

The sentence is about looking for "points of growth" in an economic/political context. Sense 3 - "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - is the most appropriate definition. This is about economic growth or increased development, which is a process of becoming larger/more important.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 2 - "a progression from simpler to more complex forms" - this could also apply to economic/cultural development.

But sense 3 specifically mentions "the increase in unemployment" as an example and talks about "becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - this is clearly the economic growth sense being used in the sentence about looking for missing points of growth.

The answer is 3.

Which numbered sense of "question" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The teeth in <t>question</t>, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite effect.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance of questioning | examples=there was a question about my training
2. definition=the subject matter at issue | examples=the question of disease merits serious discussion
3. definition=a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply | examples=he asked a direct question
4. definition=uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something | examples=the dubiousness of his claim
5. definition=a formal proposal for action made to a deliberative assembly for discussion and vote | examples=he made a motion to adjourn
6. definition=an informal reference to a marriage proposal | examples=he was ready to pop the question

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The teeth in <t>question</t>, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite effect."

The phrase "the teeth in question" means "the teeth being referred to" or "the teeth at issue" - it's referring to specific teeth that have been mentioned or are under discussion. The speaker is identifying which teeth they're talking about.

Let me check each sense:

1. "an instance of questioning" - This would mean there was an act of questioning about the teeth. That doesn't fit.

2. "the subject matter at issue" - This means the matter being discussed or referred to. "The teeth in question" = "the teeth being discussed/referred to" = "the subject matter at issue regarding teeth". This fits perfectly.

3. "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply" - This would be asking something about the teeth. Doesn't fit the usage.

4. "uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something" - This would mean doubt about the teeth. Doesn't fit.

5. "a formal proposal for action made to a deliberative assembly for discussion and vote" - Clearly not relevant.

6. "an informal reference to a marriage proposal" - Clearly not relevant.

The answer is 2. "The subject matter at issue" - the teeth in question are the ones being discussed/referred to.

Which numbered sense of "effect" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The teeth in question, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite <t>effect</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
2. definition=an outward appearance | examples=he made a good impression
3. definition=an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived) | examples=he just did it for effect
4. definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
5. definition=(of a law) having legal validity | examples=the law is still in effect
6. definition=a symptom caused by an illness or a drug | examples=the effects of sleep loss

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The teeth in question, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite <t>effect</t>."

In this sentence, "effect" refers to a result or consequence that follows from something. The teeth were intended to dissuade immigrants (that was the goal), but they had the "opposite effect" - meaning they produced the opposite result/outcome.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - This matches! The effect here is the result/consequence that follows from the presence of the teeth. They had an opposite effect (result) to what was intended.

2. "an outward appearance" - This doesn't fit. We're not talking about how something looks.

3. "an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived)" - This doesn't fit the context. It's not about a created impression.

4. "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work" - Doesn't fit at all.

5. "(of a law) having legal validity" - Doesn't fit. We're not talking about legal validity.

6. "a symptom caused by an illness or a drug" - Doesn't fit. We're not talking about symptoms.

The correct sense is 1 - "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - because the "effect" refers to the result/consequence that the teeth had, which was opposite to their intended purpose.
