Target lemma: country
Target surface form: countries
Context:
The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=country%1:14:00:: | definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations
2. sense_key=country%1:15:00:: | definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries
3. sense_key=country%1:14:01:: | definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation

5. sense_key=country%1:15:02:: | definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "countries" in context. The context discusses Latin America, democracy, support, and mentions specific countries like Peru, Mexico, Brazil. The phrase "the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>" clearly refers to nations or states.

Now look at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic. This fits well with "countries" as political entities.

2. sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - this is more about the land/territory. The context is about political attitudes and democracy, not just territory.

3. sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - this could also fit, as the context discusses "respondents" and "people" in these countries. However, the phrase "most populous countries" typically refers to the nations themselves, not just the people. But sense 3 also has examples like "the nation's mood" which matches "sunny mood" in the text.

4. sense 4: "an area outside of cities and towns" - clearly not, as it's about nations.

5. sense 5: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - this is too vague and not specific to sovereign states.

The best sense is likely sense 1, as it directly refers to a politically organized body under a single government. The context talks about "countries" as political entities with democratic institutions. However, note that sense 3 also has "the people who live in a nation" and the example "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" directly parallels "Latin America's fairly sunny mood". But the phrase "most populous countries" tends to refer to the countries as entities, not just the populace. Also, the discussion includes "support for democracy" which is about the political system of the country. So sense 1 is more appropriate.

Let's double-check: The sentence: "only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats" - here "countries" refers to the political entities of Mexico and Brazil. So sense 1 fits.

Thus, answer with sense_index 1.

role: assistant

reasoning_content:
We are given target lemma "democrat" with surface form "democrats" in context. The context is about support for democracy in Latin American countries. The phrase "are convinced democrats" likely means people who are convinced supporters of democracy, not necessarily members of the Democratic Party (which is a US-specific party). The context mentions "support for democracy" and "convinced democrats" in the sense of people who are convinced of democratic principles. So sense 2: "an advocate of democratic principles" with synonym "populist" is more appropriate. Sense 1 is about a member of the Democratic Party, which is a political party in the US, but the context is about Latin America and general democratic support. So sense 2 is correct.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 2} but careful: the sense keys are given as 1 and 2. The instruction says "do not answer with a WordNet sense key" but return only a JSON object with sense_index. So we need to output the index number. The correct sense is index 2. But note: the candidate sense keys are listed as 1 and 2. So I'll output {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose between sense 1 (member of Democratic Party) and sense 2 (advocate of democratic principles). The context discusses support for democracy, and "convinced democrats" meaning people who are committed to democratic principles, not necessarily members of the Democratic Party (which is US-specific, while context is Latin America). So sense 2 is correct.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target word "average" in context: "which drags down the regional <t>average</t>". The context discusses the percentage of democrats in various countries, and the regional average is dragged down by Mexico and Brazil. This is a statistical average, not a sports ratio. Compare the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=average%1:09:00:: | definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | synonyms=norm | examples=it set the norm for American homes
2. sense_key=average%1:24:00:: | definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
3. sense_key=average%1:09:01:: | definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average

The context is about a regional average of support for democracy, which is a statistic. Both sense 1 and sense 3 relate to statistics. Sense 1 is "a statistic describing the location of a distribution" and sense 3 is "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual". The example for sense 3 is about "average in height" and "below average" which often implies typical or normal, but here it's a computed mean. The phrase "regional average" more directly matches sense 1 as a statistic. Also, the synonym "norm" is similar. Sense 3 seems more about typicality, but the context is explicitly about a numerical average (mean). So sense 1 is best.

Thus, the output should be {"sense_index": 1}.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to re-evaluate. The target word "chart" appears in the context: "see <t>chart</t> 2" and later "chart 3". The context is about data on support for democracy, presented in tables and charts. The candidate senses: 1 is a visual display of information (like a graph or diagram), 2 is a map for navigation. Clearly it's a visual display of data, so sense 1 is correct. The previous answer was "sense_index": 1, but the user said invalid? Possibly because the instruction said "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}" but they said 3? Wait, the user said "Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2." So my previous answer (which I didn't actually give in this conversation? Actually the assistant's first response was {"sense_index": 1}. The user then said that was invalid? Could be a misunderstanding. The user instruction now says "Return only a valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}." but that's exactly what I gave. Perhaps the user meant I should output something else? Let me re-read: "Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}." That seems contradictory: they say it's invalid, then say to return exactly like that. Possibly they want me to output {"sense_index": 1} again? But they said choose between 1 and 2. So I'll choose sense 1. I'll output JSON.

2. a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them (synonyms: republic, commonwealth)
3. the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group (synonyms: majority rule)

The context talks about "support for democracy", "democracy and its core institutions", "how their country's democracy works in practice", etc. This clearly refers to democracy as a political system, not as a political orientation or a doctrine of majority rule. The sentences mention "Congress", "government", and "democrats" (people who support democracy). Sense 2 seems most appropriate: a political system where citizens elect representatives. Sense 1 is an orientation, which is a bit different; sense 3 is about majority rule decision-making within a group, which is not the primary focus here. So the best sense is 2.

Thus output: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content: We are given: "the same <t>figure</t> as last year". The context is about percentages and numbers. The sentence: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)." Here "figure" refers to the numerical value 44%. So it is a number or statistic. Among the senses, sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with synonym "number" fits. Also sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically" doesn't fit because it's not money. Sense 3: "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration" (digit) is more about individual digits, not a statistic. So sense 9 is best. Sense 9 index is 9 (since listing starts at 1). So answer: {"sense_index": 9}.

Context:
The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "year" in context. The target surface form is "year", and the context is about economic growth, support for democracy, and satisfaction with democracy. The target appears in "the same figure as last <t>year</t>" and also earlier "this year", "last year", etc. The context clearly refers to calendar years (e.g., 2002, 2005, 2001). The sense that fits is a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days, i.e., a calendar year. That is sense index 1. Sense 2 is about a school year or a period used for a particular activity, but here it's just a calendar year. Sense 3 is about planetary revolution, not relevant. Sense 4 is about a body of students, not relevant. So the best sense is sense 1. The JSON should be {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "increase" in the given context. The target surface form is "increase" and it appears in the phrase "a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001". Here, "increase" is a noun. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=increase%1:23:00:: | definition=a quantity that is added | synonyms=addition, gain | examples: "there was an addition to property taxes this year; they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks" — This sense emphasizes a quantity that is added. In the context, we have "a big increase on the 25% in 2001", which refers to a difference or amount of increase from 25% to something else (the current figure is 44%? Actually the text says "the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". So it's the amount of increase from 25% to 44%? It says "big increase on the 25%" meaning it is much higher than 25%. So this is a quantity of increase.

2. sense_key=increase%1:11:00:: | definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples: "the increase is scheduled for next month" — This sense emphasizes the event of change. In the context, it's not referring to an event scheduled, but rather a comparison of percentages.

3. sense_key=increase%1:22:00:: | definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | synonyms=increment, growth | examples: "the increase in unemployment; the growth of population" — This sense emphasizes a process. The context is about a statistic over time, which could be seen as a process, but the phrase "a big increase on" suggests a result or amount rather than the process itself.

4. sense_key=increase%1:07:00:: | definition=the amount by which something increases | synonyms=increment | examples: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" — This sense is specifically the amount of increase. The context says "a big increase on the 25%", which seems to indicate that the current figure is a big increase relative to 25%. That is, the amount of increase (the difference) is big. But note: "increase on" might mean "increase over", so it's the amount that it has risen.

5. sense_key=increase%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of increasing something | synonyms=step-up | examples: "he gave me an increase in salary" — This sense emphasizes the act. Not fitting here.

The context: "but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". This is comparing the current figure (44% satisfied) to the 2001 figure (25%). So it's saying that the current figure is a big increase over that. That implies the amount of increase is big. So sense 4 seems most appropriate: "the amount by which something increases". Sense 1 is similar but emphasizes "a quantity that is added", which could also fit. But sense 4's example is "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" which matches the use with a percentage. The context does not explicitly state the amount, but says it's a big increase relative to the previous number. So it's referring to the magnitude of the difference.

Let's also consider sense 3: "a process of becoming larger". That would be less fitting because it's not the process, it's the result.

Given the fine-grained distinction, sense 4 seems best.

Thus the answer should be sense_index 4.

The context is about a country's Congress and government. This refers to the political entity, the nation-state. The sense that fits best is sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". The word "country" here refers to the nation as a political entity with a government and congress. Sense 2 is about territory, but the focus is on the political institution (Congress) of the country. Sense 3 is about the people, but here it's about the country's Congress, so it's the political body. Sense 4 is rural area, not relevant. Sense 5 is a geographical region, not specific.

Thus, the best sense is sense 1.

The specific instance to disambiguate is the last occurrence: "the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases". The context discusses economic growth, support for democracy, and comparisons over time. The phrase "last year" refers to the previous calendar year. Also "this year" is used. The sense should be the general period of 365/366 days. Sense 1 is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" with synonyms twelvemonth, yr. That fits. Sense 2 is for a regular part of a calendar year for some activity (like school year) - not applicable. Sense 3 is planetary revolution - not relevant. Sense 4 is a body of students - not relevant. So best is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked for word sense disambiguation for "cases" in the sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

The context: It is talking about percentages of people expressing confidence in Congress and government. The phrase "in both cases" refers to the two situations (Congress and government). So it is an occurrence or instance. The most appropriate sense is sense 1: "an occurrence of something" with synonyms instance, example. Sense 2 is "a special set of circumstances" with synonym event, but the example "it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled" is more about a conditional event. Here, "cases" means instances or occurrences, not a special set of circumstances. So sense 1 fits best.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

Target lemma: decade
Target surface form: decade
Context:
For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A <t>decade</t> ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "decade" in the given context. The context mentions "A <t>decade</t> ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy." This clearly refers to a period of 10 years. The first sense is "a period of 10 years", the second is the number 10. In context, it's a time period, not the number. So sense 1 is correct. The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

We are given the target lemma "woe" with surface form "woes" in context. The sentence is: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

Candidate senses:
1. woe%1:26:00: misery resulting from affliction; synonyms: suffering
2. woe%1:12:00: intense mournfulness; synonyms: woefulness

We need to choose the best sense. The context is about economic problems causing a decline in support for democracy. "Economic woes" refers to economic difficulties or afflictions, not necessarily intense mournfulness. So sense 1 (misery resulting from affliction) is more appropriate. The synonym "suffering" aligns with economic hardships. Sense 2 is about mournfulness, which is more emotional and less about actual hardships. Thus, sense 1 is the best.

Response should be JSON with the index number. Since sense 1 is the first listed, index is 1.

The context discusses public opinion and approval of democracy. The sense is about the level of public backing or approval for democracy. Among the candidate senses, sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with example "the policy found little public support". This matches closely the idea of public support for democracy. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" but that seems more active, whereas sense 3 is about immaterial assistance. The context talks about "support for democracy" as a measure of public opinion, which fits sense 3. Sense 1 is about financial support, which is not relevant. Therefore, the best index is 3.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "countries" in context. The context discusses Mexico and Brazil as "the region's two most populous countries", and later "many Latin American countries". The discussion is about political entities, their governments, democracies, etc. The best sense is likely sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" or sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation". However, the context emphasizes the political organization, government, and democracy. The phrase "most populous countries" refers to the nations as political entities. Also, "how their country's democracy works" and "confidence in their country's Congress" point to the political body. Sense 1 includes synonyms like state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic. Sense 2 is more about territory. The context is about the political entity, not just the territory. So sense 1 is best. Sense 3 is about the people, but the context is about the political system, not just the people. Sense 4 is rural area, not relevant. Sense 5 is a geographical region, but the context is clearly about nations. So sense 1 is correct.

We are given a target lemma "recovery" in context. The context discusses economic recovery after a recession. The sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery." This clearly refers to economic recovery, i.e., return to a normal state after a downturn.

Sense 1: "return to an original state" with example about forest recovery. That fits economic recovery as return to growth after recession. Sense 2: "gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury" is about health, not economic. Sense 3: "the act of regaining or saving something lost" more like retrieval of an object. So sense 1 is best.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We are given: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this <t>week</t> that ..." The target is "week". The context mentions "this week". This refers to the current period of seven consecutive days. The sentence says "reported this week". It does not specify starting on Sunday, but it is a specific week. Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days. Sense 2: workweek. Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday (calendar week). In common usage, "this week" typically refers to the current calendar week, which in many cultures starts on Sunday or Monday. But the definition for sense 3 explicitly says "starting on Sunday". However, WordNet's sense 3 is "calendar week" which is a specific period starting on Sunday. But "this week" often means the current week, which can be any seven-day period depending on context. However, the example "it rained for a week" is for sense 1. The context does not mention work, so sense 2 is unlikely. Between sense 1 and sense 3, sense 1 is more general. But "this week" is often used to mean the current calendar week. In many contexts, "this week" refers to the current seven-day period that aligns with the calendar week (Sunday to Saturday or Monday to Sunday). But the gloss for sense 3 says "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday". Is that too specific? Often "week" in news reporting refers to the current calendar week. Also note that sense 1 is "any period of seven consecutive days" which could include the current week, but "this week" usually implies a specific week, not just any seven days. However, the example for sense 1 is "it rained for a week" which is about a duration, not a specific named week. In the context, "reported this week" means during the current week. That is a specific seven-day period, but it's not just any seven days; it's the current one. Possibly sense 3 is more specific and matches because it's a calendar week. But is it starting on Sunday? The context doesn't specify, but in many cultures, the week starts on Monday. WordNet defines sense 3 as starting on Sunday (Christian tradition). But often "calendar week" may vary. The definition says "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday". That is the standard WordNet definition. However, in common usage, "this week" might align with the local calendar. But the context doesn't give a day of the week. The most neutral is sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days. But "this week" is more specific than just any seven days; it refers to the current one. The phrase "this week" is idiomatic. Both sense 1 and sense 3 could fit, but sense 1 is broader. The example for sense 1 is "it rained for a week" which is a duration, not a reference to a specific week. Sense 3's synonyms "calendar week" suggests it's the week marked on a calendar. In news, "this week" usually refers to the current calendar week. So I think sense 3 is best. Also note that the sentence says "reported this week" meaning in the current week, which is a specific one. So I'll choose sense 3.

Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor. (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the <t>proportion</t> of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB- But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4).

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "proportion" in context. The context is about the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rising only marginally. This is clearly about the quotient or ratio of a part to the whole - specifically the percentage of people living in poverty. That aligns with sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole". Sense 4 is about ratio but more general relation between things, but the example "an inordinate proportion of the book" is similar, but sense 1 is more specific to part/whole quotient. The context talks about "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" which is exactly a part (those in poverty) divided by whole (total Latin Americans). So sense 1 is best. Sense 2 is about magnitude/extent (like proportions of a building), sense 3 is about balance/symmetry, sense 5 is about harmonious arrangement. None fit. Thus answer is 1.
