Target lemma: part
Target surface form: part
Context:
"But arsenic is different enough that it doesn't work as well as phosphorus, so it gets in there and sort of gums up the works of our biochemical machinery," explained Anbar. The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common. Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work. Arsenic was more common in the early times on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it. "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth," said Foster, who was not <t>part</t> of Wolfe-Simon's research team. The research was supported by NASA, the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.

reasoning_content:
We are asked: "Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context." The target lemma is "part", surface form "part", in the sentence: "...said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team."

We have 12 candidate senses. We need to pick the best fit.

Let's analyze the context: "who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team." Here, "part" means a member or constituent of the team. It's about membership or inclusion in a group.

Now, review the senses:

1. sense_key=part%1:24:00:: | definition=something determined in relation to something that includes it | synonyms=portion, component part, component, constituent | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself; I read a portion of the manuscript
   - This sense emphasizes being a component or constituent of a larger whole. The example "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself" matches the context very well: being a part of a team is a similar idea. Synonyms: component, constituent. This seems promising.

2. sense_key=part%1:06:00:: | definition=something less than the whole of a human artifact | synonyms=portion | examples=the rear part of the house; glue the two parts together
   - This is about physical parts of an artifact, like a part of a house. Not fitting for a team.

3. sense_key=part%1:17:00:: | definition=a portion of a natural object | synonyms=piece | examples=they analyzed the river into three parts; he needed a piece of granite
   - Natural objects, not people or teams.

4. sense_key=part%1:09:02:: | definition=that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation | examples=it requires vigilance on our part; they resisted every effort on his part
   - This is about "on someone's part" meaning as for someone's role. Not "part of a team".

5. sense_key=part%1:15:00:: | definition=the extended spatial location of something | synonyms=region | examples=the farming regions of France; religions in all parts of the world
   - Geographical regions. No.

6. sense_key=part%1:04:01:: | definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | synonyms=function, office, role | examples=the function of a teacher; the government must do its part
   - This is about duties or roles. "Do its part" matches, but "not part of the team" is not about doing a role; it's about membership. Not the best.

7. sense_key=part%1:09:01:: | definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | synonyms=character, role, theatrical role, persona | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
   - Theatrical role. No.

8. sense_key=part%1:21:00:: | definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | synonyms=share, portion, percentage | examples=he wanted his share in cash
   - This is about share of assets. Not fitting.

9. sense_key=part%1:09:00:: | definition=one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | synonyms=section, division | examples=the written part of the exam; the finance section of the company
   - This is about divisions of something, like sections of a company. "The finance section of the company" shows it can apply to organizational units. "Not part of the team" could be seen as not being a section/member of the team. But this sense seems more about conceptual divisions. However, the synonyms "section, division" and example "the finance section of the company" suggest it could be used for teams or groups. But note: sense 1 specifically includes "constituent" and the example "feeling part of something bigger". That seems more directly about personal membership.

10. sense_key=part%1:08:01:: | definition=a line of scalp that can be seen when sections of hair are combed in opposite directions | synonyms=parting | examples=his part was right in the middle
    - Hair part. No.

11. sense_key=part%1:10:00:: | definition=the melody carried by a particular voice or instrument in polyphonic music | synonyms=voice | examples=he tried to sing the tenor part
    - Music. No.

12. sense_key=part%1:04:03:: | definition=the part played by a person in bringing about a result | synonyms=contribution, share | examples=I am proud of my contribution in advancing the project; they all did their share of the work
    - This is about contribution. "Not part of the team" doesn't emphasize contribution; it's about membership. If someone is not part of the team, they are not a member, they didn't contribute? Possibly, but the phrasing "not part of" is more about inclusion. Sense 1 directly has "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself", which is exactly about being included.

Thus, sense 1 seems best: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" with synonyms "portion, component part, component, constituent." The example about feeling a part of something bigger is idiomatic. The context: "who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team" means she was not a member, a constituent. So sense 1 is the correct choice.

Now, the instruction: Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. So we need to output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "team" with surface form "team". The context is about a research team. The sentence says: "...Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research <t>team</t>." So the word "team" here refers to a group of people working together on research, i.e., a cooperative unit. The candidate senses are: 1) a cooperative unit (especially in sports) with synonyms squad; 2) two or more draft animals that work together to pull something. Clearly, sense 1 fits because it's a group of people, not animals. So we choose sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "routine" in the given context. The context is: "The democratic routine Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise." The target form is "routine". The candidate senses are given with definitions, synonyms, and examples.

We need to choose the best indexed sense (1, 2, or 3). Sense 1: "an unvarying or habitual method or procedure" (modus operandi). Sense 2: "a short theatrical performance that is part of a longer program" (act, number, turn, bit). Sense 3: "a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program" (subroutine, subprogram, procedure, function).

In the context, "The democratic routine Support for democracy..." seems odd. It might be a headline or a fragment. The phrase "democratic routine" likely means a habitual or standard method or procedure in a democratic context. "Routine" here is used as a noun, part of a noun phrase "The democratic routine". It doesn't refer to a theatrical act or a computer subroutine. So it fits with sense 1: a habitual method or procedure. Thus, the best index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked: "Target lemma: support; Target surface form: Support; Context: The democratic routine <t>Support</t> for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise. Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment."

We need to choose the best indexed sense among the 11 provided. The target word is "Support" in the context: "The democratic routine Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise." So it's about "support for democracy" as a public opinion or political backing. The phrase "backing for private enterprise" parallels "support for democracy", so it's about public support or approval.

Looking at the senses:

1. activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities: This is financial or material support, like supporting a family. Examples: "his support kept the family together; they gave him emotional support during difficult times". But here it's about "support for democracy", not about providing money or necessities.

2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of: "the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support". This is about political support, backing a cause. "Support for democracy" could be this, public opinion aiding democracy as a cause. This seems plausible.

3. something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest: "the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed". This is immaterial assistance, like public support for a policy. That fits: "Support for democracy" edges up — public support for democracy increases. This is very close to sense 2. But note: sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (the act of supporting), sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance" (the thing that provides assistance). In the sentence, "Support for democracy" is likely the public sentiment or backing that aids democracy. It could be both act and thing. But we need to see typical usage: "Support edges up" suggests a level of support, a measurable thing, so sense 3 (something providing immaterial assistance) might be better because it's the support itself as an entity. Sense 2 is more about the act of supporting. The phrase "The democratic routine Support for democracy" — "Support" is likely a mass noun meaning public backing. Let's check examples: sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support" — that's exactly "public support for a policy". So "support for democracy" is analogous. Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" — that is also "support from the party". Both could work. But let's distinguish. WordNet glosses: sense 1: activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money; sense 2: aiding the cause or policy or interests of; sense 3: something providing immaterial assistance. Sense 2 is a verb nominalization (the act), sense 3 is the abstract thing (the assistance). In the context, "Support for democracy continues to edge up" means the level of public support is increasing. That is a thing that can be measured, not an activity. So sense 3 is more noun-like as a thing. Sense 2 might be interpreted as "The democratic routine (the act of) supporting democracy edges up"? That seems odd. "Support" here is not an act but a sentiment/indicator. So I think sense 3 is more appropriate.

4. military operation: not relevant.

5. documentary validation: not relevant.

6. financial means whereby one lives: not relevant.

7. supporting structure: not relevant.

8. act of bearing weight: not relevant.

9. musical part: not relevant.

10. device bearing weight: not relevant.

11. financial resources for a project: not relevant, though "backing" appears but that's for private enterprise, but this sense is about financial resources, whereas "backing for private enterprise" is probably also public support, not necessarily financial backing. The context says "as does backing for private enterprise", so both "support" and "backing" are parallel, both likely meaning public opinion/approval. "backing" could be financial, but "support for democracy" is not financial. So sense 11 is financial resources, might not fit.

Thus the best is sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with examples like "the policy found little public support". That matches "Support for democracy". Sense 2 is the act, but the sentence uses "Support" as a measurable quantity. So I'll go with sense index 3.

Output: {"sense_index": 3}

We are asked to disambiguate the word "backing" in the context: "The democratic routine Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise. Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment."

The target word is "backing" as a noun. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=backing%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of providing approval and support | synonyms=backup, championship, patronage | examples=his vigorous backing of the conservatives got him in trouble with progressives

2. sense_key=backing%1:06:00:: | definition=something forming a back that is added for strengthening | synonyms=mount

3. sense_key=backing%1:21:00:: | definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | synonyms=support, financial support, funding, financial backing | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

Context: "backing for private enterprise" - This is about support for private enterprise. It could be either approval/support (sense 1) or financial backing (sense 3). Sense 2 (physical backing) is clearly not appropriate. So we need to decide between sense 1 (act of providing approval and support) and sense 3 (financial resources). The phrase "backing for private enterprise" likely refers to general support, which could include financial support, but the context doesn't specifically mention financial resources. It says "Support for democracy ... continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise." This seems to be about public or political support, not specifically funding. The parallel with "support for democracy" suggests a similar kind of support: approval, endorsement, backing in the sense of advocacy or championship. Sense 1 includes synonyms like "championship" and "patronage", which could be non-financial. The example for sense 1: "his vigorous backing of the conservatives" is about political support. Sense 3 explicitly says "financial resources". Without a clear financial context, sense 1 seems more general and fits better. Therefore, I'll choose sense 1.

Now, output JSON with sense_index 1.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "crime" in the given context. We have two candidate senses from WordNet. The context is: "The democratic routine Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise. Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment. And Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region."

The target surface form is "Crime" (capitalized as the start of a sentence). The context talks about "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment." In this context, "crime" refers to criminal activities, offenses against the law, something that causes worry in society. This aligns with sense 1: "(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act" with synonyms like offense, criminal offense, etc. Sense 2 is "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law" with example "crimes of the heart", which is metaphorical and not about legal crimes. The context clearly discusses crime as a societal issue, comparable to unemployment, so it is the legal sense. Therefore, sense index 1 is the correct one.

The output should be a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "worry" as a noun. The sentence: "Crime has become a bigger <t>worry</t> than unemployment." So it's a noun, meaning something that causes worry. We have two senses:

Sense 1: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" with synonyms concern, headache, vexation, and example "New York traffic is a constant concern; it's a major worry". This is a countable noun, a concrete source of anxiety.

Sense 2: "a strong feeling of anxiety" with synonym trouble, example "his worry over the prospect of being fired; it is not work but worry that kills". This is an uncountable feeling.

In the context, "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment." Here "worry" is used with the article "a", which indicates a countable noun, not the feeling itself. It means crime is a bigger source of worry than unemployment. So sense 1 fits perfectly: something that causes anxiety. Synonyms: concern, headache, vexation. The example "it's a major worry" matches exactly.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 1.

Now, output JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

Clearly, in this context, "Brazil" refers to the country, not the nut. The context mentions Latin America, influence, and a poll, so it's the country. So sense 1 is correct.

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

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=united_states%1:15:00:: | definition=North American republic containing 50 states - 48 conterminous states in North America plus Alaska in northwest North America and the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean; achieved independence in 1776 | synonyms=United States of America, America, the States, US, USA
2. sense_key=united_states%1:14:00:: | definition=the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States | synonyms=United States government, U.S. government, U.S.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We are asked to disambiguate "United States" in the context: "And Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region." The two candidate senses: sense 1: the country (North American republic), sense 2: the federal government. In context, it's comparing Brazil's influence to the United States' influence in the region. This is likely referring to the country as a whole, not specifically the government branches. Often when comparing a country to another, it's the nation-state, not the government apparatus. So sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target word "finding" with surface form "findings". The context is about a poll, Latinobarómetro, and its results. The text says: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll..." So "findings" refers to the results or discoveries from the poll.

Let's look at the candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation" - synonyms: determination. Example: "the determination of molecular structures". This is about the process of determining, not the results themselves.

2. Sense 2: "the decision of a court on issues of fact or law" - This is a legal finding, not applicable here.

3. Sense 3: "something that is found" - examples: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that...", "an area rich in archaeological findings". This refers to the things that are discovered or found. In the context, the poll "findings" are the results or data that were found. So this matches Sense 3.

Thus, the best sense is 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "poll" and target surface form "poll". The context is about Latinobarómetro poll, which is clearly a survey or opinion poll. The sentence says: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro <t>poll</t> taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist." It mentions it has been taken regularly since 1995, tracking changes in attitude. So it is an inquiry into public opinion.

Now, candidate senses:
1. an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people (synonyms: opinion poll, public opinion poll, canvass)
2. the top of the head
3. the part of the head between the ears
4. a tame parrot
5. the counting of votes (as in an election)

Clearly, sense 1 matches perfectly. Sense 5 is about vote counting, but this poll is about attitudes (support for democracy, crime worry, etc.), not an election vote count. It's an opinion survey. So sense 1 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "country", surface form "countries", and context. We need to select the best sense among 5 options. The context is about Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries. So "countries" refers to political entities, nations. Looking at the options:

1. sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic).
2. sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation (synonyms: state, land).
3. sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country (synonyms: nation, land).
4. sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns (rural area).
5. sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (synonyms: area).

In the context, "18 countries" clearly refers to political entities, i.e., nation-states. The poll is taken across Latin America, so countries like Brazil, Argentina, etc. The appropriate sense is 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government. Sense 2 is territory, but here "countries" is more about the political entity. Sense 3 is people, but poll is taken "in" countries, not of people. So sense 1 is best.

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

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "change" with surface form "changes" in the given context. The context: "The democratic routine ... it tracks changes in attitude across the region." The target is "changes" in "changes in attitude". We need to select the best indexed sense from the list of 10 candidate senses.

Let's analyze the context: "tracks changes in attitude across the region." The word "changes" refers to differences or alterations in attitudes over time. It is about the difference between attitudes before and after some event or time. The poll tracks these changes. Which sense fits best?

Reviewing the candidate senses:

1. "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" – This is an event sense. Could work, but "changes in attitude" might be ongoing or multiple events? Not necessarily a single event.

2. "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" – This directly mentions difference between states, e.g., before and after. The example: "he attributed the change to their marriage" – a relational difference. "Changes in attitude" implies differences in attitudes over time, a relational difference between states. This sense seems fitting.

3. "the action of changing something" – This is an action sense. "Changes in attitude" might be an action? But "tracks changes" suggests the result or the difference, not so much the action. The action would be someone changing something, but here attitudes are just changing.

4. "the result of alteration or modification" – This is about the result. "Changes in the lining of the lungs" – the new state after alteration. "Changes in attitude" could be the result, the new attitudes. But sense 2 seems more about the difference, while sense 4 is about the result. In the context, the poll tracks the differences between attitudes now and before. So both 2 and 4 are plausible. However, we must look at the exact definition and examples.

Sense 2: definition: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event". Example: "he attributed the change to their marriage" – here, the change is the difference in relationship or state. That feels more abstract, like the difference itself.

Sense 4: definition: "the result of alteration or modification". Example: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" – that's the actual new condition, the result. In "changes in attitude", it could be the new attitudes that are different. But the phrase "tracks changes" could mean tracking the differences over time, so sense 2's "relational difference" might be more accurate.

Sense 1 is more event-like: "the change was intended to increase sales" – that is an occurrence. "Changes in attitude" might be considered a series of events, but tracking them is more about the differences than the events.

Sense 3 is action: "change of government" – that's the act of changing. Not relevant.

Other senses: 5, 8, 9 are about money; 6 is "a thing that is different" (like a different item, e.g., clothes); 7 is a fresh set of clothes; 10 is "a difference that is usually pleasant" like variety. Those don't fit.

Thus, the main contenders are senses 2 and 4. Sense 2: "relational difference between states" might be the most appropriate because the poll doesn't necessarily show a single result, but the difference or shift in attitudes. The example "he attributed the change to their marriage" uses "change" as a difference in a state. "Changes in attitude" is similar to "change in attitude", i.e., a difference. I'll check WordNet for the hierarchy: Sense 2 is change%1:24:00::, which is a sense under "relation". It's a relational difference. Sense 4 is change%1:19:00::, "the result of alteration". Which one is more common for "changes in attitude"? Typically, "change in attitude" refers to a shift, a difference. I think both could apply, but we need the single best. Given the context, the poll measures attitudes at different times and tracks the differences. That is precisely tracking relational differences, not necessarily the result itself, but the difference between states. So sense 2 seems better.

Also, note the examples: sense 2 example is "he attributed the change to their marriage" – change as a difference in a relationship. Sense 4 example: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" – that's the result, the altered state. In "tracks changes in attitude", it's more like documenting the shifts, the differences. So sense 2 is more abstract, which matches.

I'll go with sense 2.

Thus, the JSON: {"sense_index":

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform fine-grained Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "attitude" in the given context. We have four candidate senses from WordNet, each with a sense key, definition, synonyms, and examples. We need to choose the single best indexed sense based on the context.

Let's examine the context: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region." The poll (Latinobarómetro) tracks changes in what? The earlier sentences mention support for democracy, backing for private enterprise, worry about crime, and influence of Brazil vs US. These are all findings about people's opinions, beliefs, or feelings. The word "attitude" here clearly refers to a mental state involving beliefs, feelings, values, and dispositions. The sentence says "tracks changes in attitude," meaning changes in people's collective mindset or opinions.

Now, let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=attitude%1:09:00:: definition=a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways; synonyms=mental attitude; examples=he had the attitude that work was fun. This matches perfectly: the poll tracks changes in people's beliefs, feelings, etc. over time.

2. sense_key=attitude%1:07:01:: definition=the arrangement of the body and its limbs; synonyms=position, posture; examples=he assumed an attitude of surrender. This is about physical posture, not relevant here.

3. sense_key=attitude%1:04:00:: definition=a theatrical pose created for effect; examples=the actor struck just the right attitude. This is about a dramatic pose, not relevant.

4. sense_key=attitude%1:24:00:: definition=position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference (the horizon or direction of motion). This is a technical term in aviation/space, not relevant.

Thus, sense 1 is clearly the correct one.

We need to return a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3} but with the actual index. The index for sense 1 is 1 (since they are numbered from 1). So we should output {"sense_index": 1}.

The instruction says "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key." and "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." So we just output the JSON.

The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." So "things" refers to findings or observations from the poll. Which sense best matches? Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" (synonyms: matter, affair). That fits "findings" or "matters" that stand out. Sense 5: "an event" – not exactly. Sense 1: "a special situation" – maybe, but "things" here are results/findings. Sense 6 seems more precise as a concern/matter. Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity" – too generic. The context uses "things" to refer to the two notable aspects of the poll results. Since the poll tracks changes, these are matters or concerns that stand out. So sense 6 is best.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "results" in the given context. The context is: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October." So "results" refers to the findings or outcomes of a poll. The poll is a Latinobarómetro poll, and the results are the findings that were published. So "results" here means the information obtained from the poll, the data or the conclusions. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. consequence, effect, outcome - this is more about a phenomenon caused by something. Poll results are not really a "phenomenon following and caused by a previous phenomenon" in that direct causal sense; they are the output of the poll.

2. solution, answer - this is about solving a problem. Poll results are not a solution to a problem, they are findings.

3. resultant, final result, outcome, termination - definition: "something that results". The example: "he listened for the results on the radio." That fits perfectly with poll results. Poll results are the outcome of the poll. They are something that results from conducting the poll.

4. semantic role - clearly not.

So sense 3 is the best fit.

Thus, the answer is sense index 3.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the lemma "year" in the given context. The target is "year" in "this year's poll". We need to choose among four indexed senses (1-4). Let's analyze the context.

Context: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

The phrase "this year's poll" refers to a poll conducted in a specific calendar year. The poll is taken regularly (annually, presumably) since 1995, and "this year's" refers to the latest edition in that sequence. The poll was taken in September and early October, so it is a particular instance of the poll in the current calendar year. The sense of "year" here is a specific 365-day period (or a calendar year) during which the poll is conducted. It's not a school year, not a body of students, not a planetary year. Sense 1 is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days", synonyms "twelvemonth, yr", examples: "she is 4 years old; in the year 1920". This fits perfectly: "this year's poll" means the poll of this calendar year, i.e., the year as a time unit.

Sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity", like a school year. This isn't appropriate because "this year" refers to the whole year, not a specific activity-driven period within it. Sense 3 is planetary year, irrelevant. Sense 4 is a cohort of students.

Thus, the best sense is index 1.

Return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "poll" in the given context. The context is about a survey that measures attitudes, like "Latinobarómetro poll". The sentence says: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region." Clearly, this is a public opinion poll. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=poll%1:09:00:: | definition=an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people | synonyms=opinion poll, public opinion poll, canvass
This fits perfectly: it's an opinion poll.

2. poll%1:08:01:: | the top of the head | synonyms=pate, crown - not relevant.
3. poll%1:08:02:: | the part of the head between the ears - not relevant.
4. poll%1:05:00:: | a tame parrot - not relevant.
5. poll%1:04:00:: | the counting of votes (as in an election) - Not exactly; the context is about a survey, not counting votes in an election. The Latinobarómetro is a public opinion poll, not an election vote count.

Thus, sense 1 is correct.

Now, the output should be a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. So we use {"sense_index": 1}.

Context:
Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment. And Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region. Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny <t>mood</t>. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=mood%1:12:00:: | definition=a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling | synonyms=temper, humor, humour | examples=whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time; he was in a bad humor

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "mood" in context. The context: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny <t>mood</t>." Choices:

1. mood%1:12:00:: (noun.feeling) a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling; synonyms: temper, humor, humour. Examples: "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time; he was in a bad humor."

2. mood%1:26:00:: (noun.state) the prevailing psychological state; synonyms: climate. Examples: "the climate of opinion; the national mood had changed radically since the last election."

3. mood%1:24:00:: (noun.relation) verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker; synonyms: mode, modality. (grammatical mood)

In the sentence, "fairly sunny mood" refers to a positive, upbeat feeling in the region. It is a general, prevailing psychological state among the population, aligned with "the national mood" in the example for sense 2. Sense 1 is about an individual's characteristic state of feeling, but here it's about a collective, regional mood. Sense 2 explicitly uses "climate" as a synonym, and the example "the national mood" fits the context of a poll tracking attitudes in Latin America. Sense 3 is grammatical, not applicable.

Thus, sense_index = 2.

The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions." So it's clearly an ordinal meaning: second as in the item after the first. The candidate senses are: 1. sense_key with "ordinal:00", definition "coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude", synonyms "2nd, 2d". 2. sense_key with definition "a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first", examples "second flute; the second violins". The context fits sense 1 perfectly: it's listing two things, the first and the second. Sense 2 is music-related, which is not relevant. So choose sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "stability" in the given context. The target lemma and surface form are both "stability". Context: "the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions." We have three candidate senses:

1. stability%1:07:00:: definition: the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast. synonyms: stableness.
2. stability%1:26:00:: definition: a stable order (especially of society)
3. stability%1:07:01:: definition: the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation. synonyms: constancy. examples: early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds.

In the context, "stability of attitudes towards democracy" means that attitudes are becoming more stable, i.e., consistent, enduring, not changing. It's about attitudes being firm and not varying. Sense 3 fits well: "quality of being enduring and free from change or variation" with synonym constancy. Sense 1 is about firm and steadfast, which is similar, but sense 3 explicitly mentions free from change or variation, which aligns with attitudes becoming stable over time. Sense 2 is about a stable order of society, but here it's attitudes, not society itself, though it could relate to societal attitudes. However, the phrase is "stability of attitudes", so it's the attitudes that are stable, not the societal order. Thus, sense 3 is the best match because it emphasizes enduring and free from change, which fits attitudinal stability. The example about trade winds also shows a natural phenomenon being constant, parallel to attitudes being constant.

So, the best indexed sense is 3.

We need to choose the best sense for "attitudes" here. The context is about a poll tracking changes in attitude, specifically attitudes towards democracy. This refers to mental states, beliefs, feelings, dispositions. Sense 1: "a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways" fits perfectly. The example "he had the attitude that work was fun" aligns with attitudes towards democracy. The other senses: sense 2 posture, sense 3 theatrical pose, sense 4 aircraft position — none fit. Thus sense_index 1.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "institutions" in the given context. We have 5 candidate senses from WordNet. We need to choose the best indexed sense based on the context.

Context: "And Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region.

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

The target is "institutions" within the phrase "democracy and its core institutions". So we need to identify what "institutions" means here. It likely refers to the fundamental organizations or structures that are central to democracy, such as the legislature, judiciary, electoral bodies, etc. Not a physical building, not a custom, not an act of starting something, and not a mental hospital. Sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose" with synonym "establishment" seems the most appropriate. Sense 2 is about a physical building or complex. Sense 3 is about a custom (e.g., marriage, slavery). Sense 4 is about initiating something. Sense 5 is specifically a mental hospital. Therefore, sense 1 is the best match.

Thus, sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content: We are asked to disambiguate "Support" in the context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably...". The target lemma is "support", surface form "Support". The context discusses a poll measuring attitudes, and support for democracy as a concept. The candidates are various senses. Looking at the context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries". It's about people's attitudes, their backing of democracy. So this is about approval, endorsement, or backing for a cause (democracy). Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with example "the president no longer has the support of his own party". That fits perfectly: support for democracy is aiding the cause of democracy. Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with example "the policy found little public support". But in the sentence, "support" is not the thing providing assistance, but the act or attitude of supporting. The phrase "support for democracy" uses support as a noun meaning the act of supporting. Sense 2 defines it as the act (aiding the cause), while sense 3 defines it as the thing that provides assistance (like public support is a thing). The context: "Support for democracy has risen" – here support is the measure of that backing, but grammatically it is the abstract concept of the backing itself, not a separate thing providing assistance. Sense 2 is more appropriate as it defines the activity/action of aiding. Similarly, sense 1 is about providing with money or necessities, not relevant. Sense 4 military, no. Sense 5 documentary validation, no. Sense 6 financial means, no. Sense 7 structure, no. Sense 8 bearing weight, no. Sense 9 music, no. Sense 10 device, no. Sense 11 financial resources, no. So sense 2 is the best match.
