We need to determine which sense of "year" is used in the sentence: "Two related things stand out in the results of this <t>year</t>'s poll, taken in September and early October."

The sentence refers to "this year's poll", meaning a poll conducted in the current year. The poll was taken in September and early October, so it's a specific calendar year. The sense is about a period of time of 365/366 days, not a school year or a planetary revolution or a graduating class. Therefore sense 1

Sense 2 is a building, not likely. Sense 3 is a custom like marriage, but democracy's institutions are more organizational. Sense 4 is the act of starting, not. Sense 5 is a mental hospital, no. So sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "support" is used in the sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)."

The context is about democracy, a policy or cause. The phrase "support for democracy" means aiding or backing the cause of democracy. This aligns with sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with example "the president no longer has the support of his own party". Alternatively, sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with example "the policy found little public support" also fits but note that sense 3 is about "something providing immaterial assistance", whereas sense 2 is the activity of aiding. The sentence uses "support" as a noun meaning the backing or endorsement of democracy. Both 2 and 3 are close, but sense 2 specifically mentions "aiding the cause or policy or interests", which matches exactly. Sense 3 is more about the thing that provides assistance. In the sentence, "support" is the concept of backing, not a specific thing. I think sense 2 is most appropriate. Also, sense 1 is about financial maintenance, not applicable. Sense 4 military, 5 documentation, 6 financial means, 7 physical structure, 8 bearing weight, 9 musical, 10 device, 11 financial resources. None fit. So answer is 2.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "country" is used in the sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)." The sentence refers to political entities (nations) on the Pacific rim. The phrase "countries on the Pacific rim" indicates sovereign states or nations. That aligns with sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government." Sense 2 is territory, sense 3 is people, sense 4 is rural area, sense 5 is geographical region (indefinite boundary). Here "countries" are clearly nation-states. So answer is 1.

2. definition=the nations of the South American continent collectively | examples=South America is an important market for goods from the United States

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "South America" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)." The phrase "Pacific rim of South America" refers to the geographical region, specifically the western edge of the continent along the Pacific Ocean. Sense 1 defines South America as a continent. Sense 2 defines it as the nations collectively, as a market. The sentence talks about countries on the Pacific rim, i.e., the geographical area of the continent. So it's using the geographic continent sense, not the collective nations as a market. Therefore sense 1 is correct. Return only the number

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a <t>year</t> since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

We need to identify which sense of "year" is used. The senses are:

1. a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days (e.g., she is 4 years old)
2. a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity (e.g., a school year)
3. the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun (e.g., a Martian year)
4. a body of students who graduate together (e.g., the class of '97)

In the sentence, "year" is used in the context of "6% a year" meaning an annual growth rate. It refers to a period of 12 months, a calendar year. It is not referring to a person's age (sense 1), not a school year (sense 2), not a planetary year (sense 3), and not a group of students (sense 4). The phrase "a year" here is used as a unit of time, typically a calendar year. Sense 1 is a general period of 365 days, which fits this context. However, sense 1 is defined as "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days", which is essentially the same as a calendar year. So the most appropriate is sense 1. The examples for sense 1 include "she is 4 years old", which is about age, but the definition itself is broad. The sentence uses "year" as a measure of time, so sense 1 is correct.

Thus, the answer is 1.

We need to identify which sense of "support" is used in the sentence: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year." The word "support" here refers to approval or backing for democracy. It is not financial, not physical, not military, etc. It is about public opinion or endorsement. Looking at the senses: sense 1 is financial provision, sense 2 is aiding a cause or policy, sense 3 is immaterial assistance to a person or cause, sense 4 military, sense 5 validation, sense 6 financial means, sense 7 structure, sense 8 act of bearing weight, sense 9 musical, sense 10 device, sense 11 financial resources. The phrase "support for democracy" means public backing or approval. That aligns with sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" or sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with example "the policy found little public support." Actually both could apply, but sense 3 specifically mentions "immaterial assistance" and example "the policy found little public support" which is exactly this context. Sense 2 is about aiding a cause or policy, but its example is about party support. I think sense 3 is more precise because it mentions "public support". However, sense 2 also works. Which one is more appropriate? The numbered senses: 1,2,3,... The sentence says "support for democracy" - that's clearly not financial or physical. Among them, sense 3's definition: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" and example "the policy found little public support" fits perfectly. Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" could also fit, but the example is about party support, which is also immaterial. The distinction seems subtle. But note that sense 2 uses "aiding the cause" as a verb-like noun, whereas sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance". In the sentence, "support" is a noun meaning the level of public approval. I'd lean towards sense 3 because it explicitly mentions "public support" in the example. However, we should check the exact wording: The senses are given with definitions and examples. Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - that is a more active sense like "giving support" but the example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" is about having backing. Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance" - the example "the policy found little public support" is exactly analogous. So I think the correct sense is 3. But let's see if any other sense fits: sense 1 is about financial support. Not. sense 4 military. No. sense 5 validation? Could be but "documentary validation" is not it. sense 6 means of living? No. sense 7 physical structure. No. sense 8 act of bearing weight. No. sense 9 musical part. No. sense 10 device. No. sense 11 financial resources. No. So only 2 or 3 are plausible. Which one is more aligned? The sentence talks about "support for democracy" as a percentage of people. That is essentially "public support", which is the example for sense 3. So I'll go with 3.

Thus answer: 3

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=an air mass of lower pressure; often brings precipitation | examples=a low moved in over night bringing sleet and snow
2. definition=British political cartoonist (born in New Zealand) who created the character Colonel Blimp (1891-1963)

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "low" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year." Here "low" refers to a low level or position or degree, specifically a minimum percentage. Sense 3 matches: "a low level or position or degree" with example "the stock market fell to a new low". So answer is 3.

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

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year

4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "year" is used in the sentence: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this <t>year</t>." The context is a specific calendar year (the current year at the time of writing). It's not a 365-day period in general (sense 1) because it's referencing a specific year (like 2023 or whatever). It's not a particular activity period like school year (sense 2). It's not a planetary revolution (sense 3). It's not a group of students (sense 4). So it's sense 1: a period of time containing 365 days, but specifically the current calendar year. The example "she is 4 years old" uses year as a unit of age, but here it's a specific year. However, sense 1 is the general definition for a calendar year. So answer is 1.

The context is about a country's overall economic system, production, output, etc. That matches sense 1: the system of production and distribution and consumption. The other senses refer to efficiency, frugality, or an act of economizing. So answer is 1.

4. definition=the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter
5. definition=what is produced in a given time period

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which numbered sense of "output" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year." The context is economic: the economy recovered after a drop in output. This refers to the quantity of goods produced, likely within a given period. Sense 4 matches: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)" with example "production was up in the second quarter." Sense 1 is "final product; the things produced" but that's more general; sense 4 specifies quantity. Sense 2 is "production of a certain amount" similar but sense 4 is more precise with example. Sense 3 is electronic. Sense 5 is "what is produced in a given time period" but that's essentially same as sense 4? Actually senses 4 and 5 are similar; but given the example, sense 4 explicitly mentions quantity and commodity. The sentence "drop in output" implies a decrease in the amount produced. So sense 4 is most appropriate. Return only the number.

Thus answer: 4

Sense 2 is about territory, sense 3 about people, sense 4 about rural area, sense 5 about geographical region. The context is about respondents in Mexico and Brazil as countries, meaning the nation-states. So sense 1 is correct. Return just the number.1

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 5. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content: We need to re-evaluate. The user says previous answer was invalid. I need to carefully consider the sentence: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats..." The word "countries" here refers to Mexico and Brazil as nation-states. Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" is appropriate. Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" could also be plausible because "respondents in Mexico and Brazil" are people, and "countries" might be used to refer to the populations? However, the phrase "most populous countries" typically means nations with large populations, so it's about the political entities. Sense 1 is standard. But why did the user say invalid? Possibly because I previously answered 1 and they claim it's invalid. Let me double-check the definitions. Sense 1 includes example "the state has elected a new president" - that's political entity. Sense 3 example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - that's about people. But "most populous countries" is clearly about the nations as entities. I think sense 1 is correct. However, to be safe, perhaps sense 3? But "populous" means having a large population, so it's about the number of people, which could lean toward sense 3. However, typically "country" in "most populous countries" is still sense 1: the nation. For instance, "China is the most populous country" means the nation-state. The people are part of it. I'll stick with sense 1. But user says invalid, maybe they want sense 3? Let's read carefully: "respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries" - the phrase "most populous countries" is a common collocation meaning countries with the largest populations. That's sense 1. I'll answer 1.

Senses:
1. definition=a member of the Democratic Party
2. definition=an advocate of democratic principles

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "democrat" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil... are convinced democrats". Here, "democrats" refers to people who believe in democratic principles, not members of the Democratic Party (which is US-specific). The context is about political attitudes in Latin America. So sense 2 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: 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 <t>average</t> (see chart 2).

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: We need to determine which sense of "average" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "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)." Here, "average" refers to a statistical measure that summarizes the overall proportion of convinced democrats across the region. It is a statistic describing the location of a distribution, i.e., the mean or typical value. That matches sense 1: "definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | examples=it set the norm for American homes". Sense 2 is about sports ratio, not applicable. Sense 3 is about an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual, but the example "he is about average in height" is a qualitative description. The sentence uses "average" as a statistical figure derived from data, so sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "chart" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "see chart 2" - referring to a visual display of information, likely a graph or table. Sense 1 is "a visual display of information". Sense 2 is a map for navigation. Clearly it's sense 1. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of <t>respondents</t> 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).

Senses:
1. definition=the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding) who is accused of adultery with the corespondent
2. definition=someone who responds

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "respondent" is used in the given sentence. The sentence talks about a survey: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied..." So here, "respondents" refers to people who responded to a survey or questionnaire. That matches sense 2: "someone who responds". Sense 1 is about a legal context (divorce proceeding). Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

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: We need to determine which sense of "country" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their <t>country</t>'s democracy works in practice..." Here, "country" refers to a nation-state, a political entity with a government. It's about how democracy works in that country. The phrase "their country's democracy" indicates a political entity. Among the senses: sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" which fits. Sense 2 is territory, sense 3 is people, sense 4 is rural area, sense 5 is a region. The context is about democracy, which is a political system of a nation-state. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's <t>democracy</t> works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives
2. definition=a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them
3. definition=the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group

reasoning_content: We need to match the usage of "democracy" in the sentence. The sentence talks about satisfaction with how democracy works in practice. This refers to the political system in a country, where citizens have representative government. Sense 2: "a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them" fits best. Sense 1 is more about political orientation, sense 3 about majority rule doctrine. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same <t>figure</t> as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2
2. definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | examples=Leonardo studied the human body
3. definition=one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration | examples=0 and 1 are digits
4. definition=a model of a bodily form (especially of a person) | examples=he made a figure of Santa Claus
5. definition=a well-known or notable person | examples=they studied all the great names in the history of France
6. definition=a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape
7. definition=an amount of money expressed numerically | examples=a figure of $17 was suggested
8. definition=the impression produced by a person | examples=he cut a fine figure
9. definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | examples=he had a number of chores to do
10. definition=language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense
11. definition=a unitary percept having structure and coherence that is the object of attention and that stands out against a ground
12. definition=a decorative or artistic work | examples=the coach had a design on the doors
13. definition=a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating | examples=she made the best score on compulsory figures

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "figure" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Some 44% of respondents ... the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". Here "figure" refers to a numerical value or statistic, specifically the percentage 44%. Looking at the senses, sense 7 is "an amount of money expressed numerically" but that's specifically money. Sense 9 is "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with example "he had a number of chores to do". That seems more like "number" in a general sense. However, "figure" here is used as a synonym for "number" or "statistic". Sense 7 is about money, not percentages. Sense 9 is about a quantity. But the example for sense 9 is "he had a number of chores" which is not exactly a numerical figure. Actually, sense 9 definition: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - that is a bit abstract. The example "he had a number of chores" uses "number" not "figure". But the word "figure" can mean a number or statistic. Among the given senses, the closest is sense 9? Let's check all: sense 1 diagram, 2 body, 3 digit, 4 model, 5 person, 6 shape, 7 money amount, 8 impression, 9 quantity, 10 figurative language, 11 percept, 12 design, 13 dance move. None explicitly say "statistic" or "percentage". But sense 7 is "an amount of money expressed numerically" - that's specific to money. The sentence is about a percentage, not money. Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - that could cover a percentage. The example uses "number" but the definition says "sum or total or indefinite quantity". A percentage is a quantity. So sense 9 seems plausible. Alternatively, sense 3 is "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration" which is about digits, not a number. So not that. Therefore, the correct sense is likely 9. But let's double-check: In the sentence, "the same figure as last year" means the same number. So it's a numerical value. Sense 9 is about quantity. I'll go with 9.

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

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 <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "year" is used in the sentence. The sentence says "the same figure as last year". Here "last year" refers to the previous calendar year, i.e., a period of 365 or 366 days. So it's sense 1. The other senses are about school year, planetary year, or a graduating class. Not applicable.

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

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 <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

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

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: We need to identify which sense of "increase" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "a big increase on the 25% in 2001". Here, "increase" refers to the amount by which the percentage has gone up, from 25% to 44%. That is a difference or amount. Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" with example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". That matches. So answer is 4.

Senses:
1. definition=a visual display of information
2. definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "chart" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "Some 44% of respondents ... the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)." This refers to a chart (likely a figure or diagram) that shows the data. It's a visual display of information, not a navigation map. So sense 1. The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> 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).

Senses:
1. definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular
2. definition=a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples=I have confidence in our team

4. definition=a trustful relationship | examples=he took me into his confidence
5. definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "confidence" is used in the given sentence. The sentence talks about having confidence in Congress and government, indicating a feeling of trust. Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" matches perfectly. Sense 3 is about hopefulness about events, which could also apply but the specific phrasing "confidence in their country's Congress" is about trust in an institution. Sense 2 is most direct. So answer is 2.

Sentence: Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'s Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

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: We need to determine which sense of "country" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'s Congress and 45% in their government..." The phrase "their country's Congress" refers to the legislative body of that country, implying a political entity. The context is about political confidence in institutions (Congress and government). So it's about a nation-state as a political entity. Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" fits. Sense 2 is territory, sense 3 is people, sense 4 is rural, sense 5 is region. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's <t>Congress</t> and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

Senses:
1. definition=the legislature of the United States government
2. definition=a meeting of elected or appointed representatives
3. definition=a national legislative assembly
4. definition=the act of sexual procreation between a man and a woman; the man's penis is inserted into the woman's vagina and excited until orgasm and ejaculation occur

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "congress" is used in the sentence. The sentence mentions "their country's Congress" and contrasts with "their government". The context is about confidence in Congress and government. The word is capitalized, but it's referring to a country's legislature. Sense 1 is specifically the US Congress, but the sentence says "their country's Congress", implying it could be any country's legislature. Sense 2 is a meeting, sense 3 is a national legislative assembly, sense 4 is sexual intercourse. Clearly the sexual sense is inappropriate. The most appropriate is sense 3: a national legislative assembly. Sense 1 is too specific to US. So answer is 3.

The word "government" here refers to the governing authority of a political unit, i.e., the organization. Sense 1 matches that. Senses 2, 3, 4 are about the act, system, or study respectively. So answer is 1.

4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "year" is used in the given sentence. The sentence says "the same as last year".

So sense 1.

19. definition=bed linen consisting of a cover for a pillow | examples=the burglar carried his loot in a pillowcase
20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "case" is used in the given sentence. 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)." Here, "cases" refers to the two situations: confidence in Congress and confidence in government. It means "in both instances" or "in both occurrences." Looking at the senses, sense 1: "an occurrence of something" with example "it was a case of bad judgment." That fits. Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" with example "in that event, the first possibility is excluded" also might fit, but sense 1 is more direct. Sense 4: "the actual state of things" with example "that was not the case" also could be considered, but "the same as last year in both cases" means in both occurrences, not the actual state. Sense 1 is the best match. So answer is 1.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "decade" is used in the sentence. The sentence says "A decade ago economic woes..." which refers to a period of 10 years ago. So it's the first sense: a period of 10 years. The second sense is about the number ten itself, but that's not used here. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: A decade ago economic <t>woes</t> in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

Senses:
1. definition=misery resulting from affliction
2. definition=intense mournfulness

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "woe" is used in the sentence: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy." The word "woes" here refers to economic problems or troubles. Sense 1: "misery resulting from affliction" – that is a state of suffering. Sense 2: "intense mournfulness" – that is grief or sadness. Economic woes are typically troubles or difficulties, not necessarily intense mournfulness. So sense 1 fits better as misery or affliction. The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "support" is used in the sentence: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

The word "support" here refers to the approval or backing of democracy as a political system. It's not about financial support, physical support, or military support. It's about the public's or populace's endorsement of democracy. Looking at senses:

1. financial provision for maintaining - no
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests - yes, democracy is a cause or policy. "The president no longer has the support of his own party" is similar to support for democracy.
3. something providing immaterial assistance - "the policy found little public support" also fits, but note sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests" while sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest." Both are similar. However, sense 2 specifically mentions "aiding the cause or policy or interests" and example is about party support. Sense 3 example is "public support" for a policy. Our sentence has "support for democracy" which is a cause/policy. It could be either 2 or 3. But note sense 2 definition uses "aiding" which is active, while sense 3 uses "providing immaterial assistance". The sentence says "undermined support" meaning the backing or approval. I'd lean toward sense 2 because it's about supporting a cause/policy/interests. Sense 3 seems more about abstract assistance. But let's check the wording: "the policy found little public support" is sense 3. That is very similar to "support for democracy". Actually, "support for democracy" is exactly like "support for a policy". So sense 3 might be more direct. However, sense 2 also works. We need to pick the best fit.

Looking at the list, sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with example "the president no longer has the support of his own party". That is about backing a person or group. Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with example "the policy found little public support". The example for sense 3 is exactly about public support for a policy. So sense 3 seems more appropriate for "support for democracy" because democracy is a system/policy. Sense 2 is more about supporting a person or party? Actually "cause or policy or interests" includes policy, so both could apply. But the example for sense 2 is about party support (people), while sense 3 example is about policy support. The sentence is about democracy, which is a system, akin to a policy. I'll go with sense 3.

Alternatively, sense 11 is "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - not that.

Thus, answer is 3.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "country" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."

The word "countries" here refers to sovereign states or nations, specifically Latin American nations. This aligns with sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". The examples given for sense 1 include "the state has elected a new president" which is similar. Sense 2 is about territory, sense 3 about people, sense 4 about rural areas, sense 5 about a region. Here, "Latin American countries" clearly means the nations themselves as political entities. So answer is 1

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

Sentence: That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief <t>recession</t> and have enjoyed a strong recovery.

Sense 1 is about economic decline. So answer is 1.

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

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 <t>recovery</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=return to an original state | examples=the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid
2. definition=gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
3. definition=the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "recovery" is used in the given sentence. 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." Here, "recovery" refers to economic recovery after a recession. This matches sense 1: "return to an original state" with example about forest recovery. Sense 2 is about healing after sickness, and sense 3 is about regaining something lost. Economic recovery is a return to a previous state of economic health. So answer is 1

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

Sentence: In addition, a stronger social <t>safety net</t> has helped to shield the poor.

Senses:
1. definition=a guarantee of professional or financial security
2. definition=a large strong net to catch circus acrobats who fall or jump from a trapeze

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "safety net" is used in the sentence. The sentence mentions "a stronger social safety net" that helps shield the poor. This clearly refers to social welfare programs, which provide financial security to vulnerable populations. Sense 1 is "a guarantee of professional or financial security". Sense 2 is the literal circus net. The context is "social safety net", so it's the figurative meaning. Thus, sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this <t>week</t> that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB-

Senses:
1. definition=any period of seven consecutive days | examples=it rained for a week
2. definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "week" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this <t>week</t> that ..." The phrase "this week" refers to the current calendar week, likely starting on Sunday or Monday, but the definition in sense 1 is "any period of seven consecutive days" whereas sense 3 is "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday". Sense 2 is about work hours. In common usage, "this week" typically refers to the current calendar week, which in many contexts starts on Sunday or Monday. But the definition given explicitly distinguishes sense 3 as starting on Sunday. However, the sentence does not specify the starting day. In general, "this week" might be ambiguous, but given the options, sense 1 is the generic "any period of seven consecutive days", which would include the idea of a calendar week. But sense 3 is more specific. The sentence is from a news report, and "this week" usually means the current calendar week. However, the definition for sense 3 says "starting on Sunday", which might be the typical Western calendar week. But the sentence doesn't indicate that it starts on Sunday. It's more likely that the intended sense is the general one (sense 1), as it's just a period of seven days. But we must choose the best match. Often in such questions, "this week" is considered a calendar week, but sense 3 explicitly says "starting on Sunday". The sentence doesn't give any clue about the start day. In many contexts, "this week" could be any seven-day period. However, since it's a report about statistics, it might refer to the calendar week. Let's examine the sentence: "reported this week" means sometime during the current week. That is a specific period of seven consecutive days, but not necessarily starting on Sunday. Actually, the phrase "this week" is idiomatic and refers to the current week, which is a fixed period in a calendar. But the dictionary might have sense 1 as generic, sense 3 as specific to Sunday-start. Typically, "week" in "this week" is sense 3 if the calendar week starts on Sunday, but many calendars start on Monday. Without further context, the safest is sense 1. However, I recall that in many dictionaries, "this week" is defined as the current calendar week, which is a period of seven days starting on Sunday (in some cultures) or Monday. The given senses are numbered. Let's see: sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days. That would be like "a week from now". Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday. That is the calendar week. In the sentence, "this week" refers to the current calendar week, not just any arbitrary seven days. So it should be sense 3. But the example for sense 1 is "it rained for a week" which is indefinite. The example for sense 3 is not given. So likely the correct sense is 3. However, to be precise, we need to output only the number. I'll answer 3.

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

Sentence: (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-

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: We need to determine which sense of "proportion" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%." Here, "proportion" refers to the fraction or percentage of Latin Americans living in poverty. It is a part (Latin Americans in poverty) divided by the whole (total Latin Americans). That matches sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole". So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this <t>year</t>, to 32%. -RRB-

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
We need to read the sentence: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."

The phrase "this year" refers to the current calendar year (presumably the year in which the report is made). It is not about a specific duration of 365 days, nor a school year, nor a planetary revolution, nor a group of students. It is a general reference to the current calendar year. Sense 1 is a period of 365/366 days, but that seems too generic. Actually, sense 1 is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" with example "she is 4 years old" which is about age. But "this year" typically means the current calendar year. Sense 2 is "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" like school year. That could be a possibility if it were a fiscal year or something, but here it's just a general year. Sense 3 is planetary revolution. Sense 4 is a class of students. The most appropriate is sense 1, as it's a general year. However, note that sense 1's definition is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" which is a specific duration, whereas "this year" often refers to the calendar year as a whole, not necessarily exactly 365 days? Actually, it is a period of about 365 days. So sense 1 fits. But let's double-check: sometimes "year" can also mean calendar year as a reference point. The example for sense 1 is "she is 4 years old" which measures age. That is a duration. In the sentence, "this year" is a reference to the current calendar year, which is also a period of about 365 days. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus answer: 1.

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

Sentence: But the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 4).

Senses:
1. definition=a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling | examples=whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time
2. definition=the prevailing psychological state | examples=the climate of opinion
3. definition=verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "mood" is used in the sentence: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)." The context is about variation from country to country, likely referring to a general feeling or psychological state prevailing in different countries. Sense 1 is about a characteristic state of feeling of a person, sense 2 is about the prevailing psychological state (like climate of opinion), sense 3 is grammatical mood. The sentence mentions "from country to country" implying a collective mood or atmosphere, which matches sense 2. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: But the mood varies widely from <t>country</t> to country (see chart 4).

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:
We need to determine which sense of "country" is used in the sentence: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)." The phrase "from country to country" typically refers to different nations or states. The context is about mood varying across different countries, meaning different political entities or nations. Let's examine the senses:

1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is essentially a nation-state. The example uses "the state" but it's about a political entity. This fits "country" as a nation.

2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - this is about the land area. The phrase "from country to country" could also refer to territories, but usually it's about the political entities.

3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - this is about the population. The mood of the people varies, but the phrase "from country to country" typically means from one nation to another, not necessarily the people.

4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - rural area. Not applicable.

5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - like a region, not necessarily a nation. Could be used, but "country" in common usage often means nation.

The sentence says "the mood varies widely from country to country" and references a chart. This likely means across different nations. Sense 1 is the most direct: a politically organized body. Sense 2 is territory, but the mood is not about territory but about the political entity. Sense 3 is the people, but "country" often stands for the nation as a whole. However, the phrase "from country to country" is idiomatic for "from one nation to another". So I think sense 1 is correct.

Let's double-check: The example for sense 1 uses "the state" but the definition says "a politically organized body of people under a single government". That matches a country as a sovereign state. So answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)." We need to identify which numbered sense of "country" is used. The senses are:

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

The phrase "from country to country" typically refers to different nations or states. The mood varies from one nation to another. This aligns with sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government. It could also be sense 3 (the people), but "the mood" refers to the collective sentiment of people in each country, so sense 3 is plausible. However, the phrase "from country to country" is a common expression meaning from one nation to another, focusing on the political entity. The example for sense 1 is "the state has elected a new president" which is about government. The example for sense 3 is "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" which explicitly mentions mood. But note: the sentence says "the mood varies widely from country to country". Here, "country" likely refers to the nation as a political entity or the people. But considering that sense 3 defines "the people who live in a nation or country", and the example is about summing up the nation's mood, that seems a direct match. However, sense 1 also includes "a politically organized body of people", which is similar. The key difference: sense 1 emphasizes the government/organization, sense 3 emphasizes the people. In the sentence, "the mood" is a characteristic of the people, so it leans toward sense 3. But the phrase "from country to country" is idiomatic and often refers to nations. Let's examine the definition of sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country". That fits: the mood varies among the people of different countries. For sense 1, the example is about the state electing a president, which is a governmental action. The sentence about mood is more about the people. So I think sense 3 is correct.

But we must be careful: The instructions say "Return only the number of the correct sense." So we need to output a single number. I'll go with 3.

We need to identify which numbered sense (1-5) of "sense" is used. The senses are defined with examples. The sentence says "a widely shared sense of progress".

The sentence: "Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress." The context is about economic performance and popularity leading to a sense of progress. This is about improvement or development, not literal forward movement. Sense 1 is "gradual improvement or growth or development" with example "advancement of knowledge". Sense 2 is "the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)" and sense 3 "a movement forward" with example "he listened for the progress of the troops". The sentence talks about a sense of progress from economic performance, which is improvement. So sense 1.

The sentence: "That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened." The context is about economic conditions: "more severe" and "violent crime has worsened" suggest an economic downturn. Sense 1 is about economic decline.

This refers to criminal acts that are punishable by law, specifically violent crimes. Sense 1: (criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act. Sense 2: an evil act not necessarily punishable by law. Here, violent crime is clearly a legal term, so sense 1 is appropriate. Return just the number.
