Target lemma: country

Context:
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 mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "countries" in the context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)." The context mentions "18 countries" earlier, and here it's "several countries on the Pacific rim of South America". Clearly, it refers to political entities, nations. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government. Synonyms: state, nation, land, etc. Examples: "the state has elected a new president", "African nations". This sense emphasizes the political entity, the government and people.

2. Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation. Synonyms: state, land. Examples: "he returned to the land of his birth", "he visited several European countries". This sense emphasizes the geographical territory.

3. Sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country. Synonyms: nation, land. Example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood", "the news was announced to the nation". This sense focuses on the population.

4. Sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns (rural area). Not applicable here.

5. Sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary. Example: "Bible country". Not applicable.

The context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America." Here, "countries" refers to nations as political entities, but note the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2. In "several countries", it could be the territory or the political body. Often, when we say "in several countries", we mean within the territories of those nations, but we are also referring to the nations themselves. The phrase "support for democracy has risen in several countries" – support is an attitude of people, so it could be sense 3 (the people), but usually we say "in countries" to mean within those nation-states, encompassing both territory and political entity. Sense 1 is the political body, sense 2 the territory. In WordNet, sense 1 and sense 2 are closely related. The example for sense 2 includes "he visited several European countries", which is very similar: "visited several European countries" refers to the territories. In our sentence, "Support for democracy has risen in several countries" is more abstract; it's about the political entity or the nation as a whole. Often, WordNet's sense 1 for country is the primary sense for nation-state. Sense 2 is specifically the territory. I'd lean towards sense 1 because "support for democracy" is a political measure, related to the government and people as a body politic. However, the phrase "in countries" often uses the geographical sense. But WordNet's sense 1 includes "African nations" as an example, which is similar to "countries on the Pacific rim". I'll choose sense 1.

But let's check the distinction: Sense 1 is the body of people, government; sense 2 is the land. In many contexts, these are conflated. However, WordNet separates them. The phrase "in several countries" can be either, but the example for sense 2 explicitly includes "he visited several European countries" (territory). Here, "support for democracy has risen" is a condition that applies to the populace or the political entity, not just the land. So sense 1 or 3. Sense 3 is specifically the people. "Support for democracy" is an attribute of the nation's mood, so sense 3 might fit. Example for sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood". That aligns well: support for democracy is like a mood. So sense 3 is plausible. But the sentence says "in several countries", not "among the people of several countries". Typically, we refer to "countries" as the entities. The target is "countries", and it's the object of the preposition "in". I'd lean that it's the country as a political unit. WordNet often has the first sense as the most frequent. Sense 1 is likely the default. I'll go with sense 1.

But let's see the exact wording: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America." It's like saying "In several countries, support has risen." That is similar to "In African nations, something happened." Sense 1 includes "African nations" as an example. So sense 1.

Thus, I'll choose sense_index: 1.

2. sense_key=south_america%1:14:00:: | definition=the nations of the South American continent collectively | examples=South America is an important market for goods from the United States

We need to choose the best sense based on context. The context mentions "Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries", "Latin America's fairly sunny mood", "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)", "For example in Peru". The phrase "on the Pacific rim of South America" refers to a geographic region of the continent. It's talking about countries on the Pacific rim of the continent, not about the nations collectively as a political or economic entity. The reference is to a physical/geographical part of the continent. The example of Peru, a country within that geographic area, supports the geographic sense. The sense "the nations of the South American continent collectively" would be more appropriate if it were talking about South America as a collective entity, like in trade or politics as a whole. Here, the context is about a region within the continent, specifically the Pacific rim, so it's referring to the continent itself, not the collective nations. Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "support" with surface form "support" in the given context. The context is about a poll tracking attitudes toward democracy. The sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..." and then "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year." So "support" here refers to approval or endorsement of democracy by the public. It's an abstract notion of backing or favoring something. Let's examine each candidate sense:

1. Activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying money or necessities. Example: "his support kept the family together" – this is about financial or emotional support for people. Not about political endorsement.

2. Aiding the cause or policy or interests of. Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" – this is about political support, backing for a cause or policy. This fits well: support for democracy means aiding the cause of democracy.

3. Something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest. Example: "the policy found little public support" – this is similar to sense 2 but defined as "something providing... assistance" (a thing that provides support). However, in context, "support for democracy" can be seen as the immaterial assistance (public support). This sense may also fit.

4. Military operation sense – not relevant.

5. Documentary validation – not relevant.

6. Financial means whereby one lives – not relevant.

7. Supporting structure – physical support, not relevant.

8. Act of bearing weight – physical, not relevant.

9. Musical part – not relevant.

10. Device bearing weight – physical.

11. Financial resources provided for a project – not relevant; this is funding, not popular opinion.

Now, between senses 2 and 3: The definition of sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (noun). Examples: "the president no longer has the support of his own party", "they developed a scheme of mutual support". Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" and examples: "the policy found little public support", "his faith was all the support he needed". In sense 2, it's the act or the condition of being supported. In sense 3, it's something that provides support. In the context: "Support for democracy has risen..." That could be interpreted as the public's backing (sense 2: the aiding) or the thing that provides assistance (sense 3: the support itself). But often, when we say "support for democracy has risen", we mean the level of public endorsement, which is an abstract quantity. Looking at examples: Sense 2 has "the president no longer has the support of his own party" which is very similar to "support for democracy has risen" – it's the backing. Sense 3's example "the policy found little public support" is also similar. So there is overlap. However, WordNet distinguishes these two senses: sense 2 is more about the act of supporting, while sense 3 is something (immaterial) that provides assistance. In "support for democracy has risen", "support" refers to the favorable attitude, which can be thought of as the immaterial assistance. But the phrase "support for" often maps to sense 2. Let's check typical disambiguation: In other contexts, "support for" often aligns with the sense of "aiding the cause". For instance, "public support for the war" is often labeled as sense 2. I'd lean toward sense 2 because it directly says "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" and the example with "support of his own party" is political support. Sense 3 might be slightly more abstract and less common for this usage.

Also note: The context uses "support for democracy" as a polling metric, indicating the percentage of people who favor democracy. This is indeed "aiding the cause" (favoring democracy). Sense 3 is defined as "something providing immaterial assistance" – that could also work, but the example "the policy found little public support" makes it clear that "public support" is that thing. However, in WordNet, sense 2 is more common for this kind of expression.

I'll choose sense 2. But ensure the index: The list gives sense indexes from 1 to 11 corresponding to the bullet points. So sense_key=support%1:04:00:: is index 2.

Thus, the JSON output should be {"sense_index": 2}.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "low" in the given context. The target surface form is "low", and the context is: "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."

We need to choose among four candidate senses:

1. low as an air mass of lower pressure (meteorology)
2. low as a person (British political cartoonist)
3. low as a low level or position or degree (e.g., the stock market fell to a new low)
4. low as the lowest forward gear ratio in a vehicle (first gear)

In the context, "low" is used as a noun phrase: "risen from a low of 40%". This indicates a low point or level in support for democracy. It refers to a low level or degree, similar to "the stock market fell to a new low". Therefore, sense 3 is the correct one.

We output JSON: {"sense_index": 3}

We are given the target word "year" in the context: "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." So "this year" refers to the current calendar year when the poll was taken (September and early October). The context also mentions "last year". So "year" here is a standard calendar year.

Looking at the senses:
1. sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. Examples: she is 4 years old; in the year 1920. This fits: "this year" means the current calendar year.
2. sense 2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year used for some particular activity, e.g., a school year. Not applicable; it's not a specific activity-based year.
3. sense 3: period of time for a planet to revolve around the sun. Not relevant; we're talking about Earth years by default.
4. sense 4: a body of students who graduate together. Clearly not.

Thus sense 1 is the best fit.

This clearly refers to the overall economic system of a country (Mexico), not to efficiency, frugality, or an act of saving. So sense 1, "the system of production and distribution and consumption," is the correct one.

Target lemma: drop
Target surface form: drop
Context:
Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big <t>drop</t> in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=drop%1:25:00:: | definition=a shape that is spherical and small | synonyms=bead, pearl | examples=he studied the shapes of low-viscosity drops; beads of sweat on his forehead
2. sense_key=drop%1:23:00:: | definition=a small indefinite quantity (especially of a liquid); ; ; ; --Kipling | synonyms=drib, driblet | examples=he had a drop too much to drink; a drop of each sample was analyzed

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "drop" and the context: "the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year." The candidate senses are numbered 1 through 9. We need to choose the best indexed sense.

Let's examine the context: "big drop in output" – clearly referring to a decrease in output, a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity. That matches sense 3: "a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity" with synonyms dip, fall, free fall, and examples like "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index; there was a drop in pressure in the pulmonary artery." This is perfect. The other senses refer to small spherical shape (1), small indefinite quantity (2), steep cliff (4), hiding place for illicit goods (5), descent by gravity (6), curtain (7), depository (8), act of dropping (9). None fit the economic context. So sense_index is 3.

reasoning_content:
We are asked: Choose the single best indexed sense for "output" in the given context. The context is: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year." The target is "output". Let's analyze each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=output%1:06:00:: | definition=final product; the things produced | synonyms=end product
2. sense_key=output%1:04:00:: | definition=production of a certain amount | synonyms=yield
3. sense_key=output%1:10:02:: | definition=signal that comes out of an electronic system | synonyms=output signal
4. sense_key=output%1:23:00:: | definition=the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | synonyms=yield, production | examples=production was up in the second quarter
5. sense_key=output%1:06:01:: | definition=what is produced in a given time period | synonyms=outturn, turnout

The phrase is "a big drop in output last year" referring to Mexico's economy. In economics, "output" often means the total value of goods and services produced, i.e., production or yield. Sense 4: "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." This fits well: "a big drop in output" means a significant decrease in production quantity. Sense 5 is similar: "what is produced in a given time period". Sense 2: "production of a certain amount" is a bit vague. Sense 1 is more concrete: final product. But here it's general economic output, not specific final products. Senses 4 and 5 are very close. However, sense 4 explicitly mentions "quantity" and has example about production. Sense 5 is also about time period. Which is more precise? In economic contexts, "output" typically refers to the aggregate production, i.e., the quantity produced. Sense 4: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created" – this is exactly the economic sense. The example "production was up in the second quarter" matches the time period context ("last year"). Sense 5 says "what is produced" which might be more concrete but still similar. WordNet senses: output%1:23:00:: is the synset for "yield, production" with the gloss "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)". That is a direct match. Sense 5 is output%1:06:01::, which is "outturn, turnout" and defined as "what is produced in a given time period". The difference is subtle: sense 4 focuses on quantity, sense 5 on the thing itself. In economics, "drop in output" means a drop in the amount produced. I'd lean towards sense 4. But let's check the context: "the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year." It clearly refers to the economic production, i.e., the quantity of goods and services produced. That is exactly sense 4. Sense 5 is also possible, but sense 4 is more standard for economic output. Also, the examples: sense 4 has "production was up in the second quarter", very similar. Sense 5 doesn't have an example. So I pick sense 4.

Thus, the output JSON: {"sense_index": 4}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "year" in the given context. The target is "year" 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. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last <t>year</t>."

The target word is the "year" in "last <t>year</t>". So we need to determine which sense is used there.

Let's look at the candidate senses:

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

2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year

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

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

Now, the context says "last year" referring to a drop in output in Mexico. This is clearly referring to the previous calendar year, a standard 365-day period. It does not refer to a school year, a planetary year, or a graduating class. So sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. Examples: "in the year 1920". "Last year" fits perfectly as the calendar year before the current one.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "half" in the context: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil...". The candidate senses:
1. one of two equal parts of a divisible whole (one-half) – examples: half a loaf; half an hour
2. one of two divisions into which some games or performances are divided: the two divisions are separated by an interval

The context clearly uses "half" to mean "approximately 50% of the respondents", i.e., a proportion. That matches sense 1, not sense 2 (which is about game halves). So the correct index is 1.

Response: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "country" and the surface form "countries". The context is about Latin America's mood and attitudes towards democracy. In the 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 average." Here, "countries" refers to Mexico and Brazil as political entities with populations. The phrase "two most populous countries" indicates they are being referred to as states or nations with boundaries and populations.

Now, evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (synonyms: state, nation, etc.). This emphasizes the political organization and government. In the context, "countries" are being discussed in terms of their populations' attitudes towards democracy, which involves the political system. However, the phrase "most populous countries" focuses on the population size, not necessarily the government. Could fit.

2. sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" (synonyms: state, land). This emphasizes the physical territory. In the context, "most populous countries" refers to the countries as places with many people, but it's not solely about territory. It's more about the state/political entity that has a population. Territory might be implied, but the sense is about the nation's people and political structure.

3. sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" (synonyms: nation, land). This focuses on the populace. In the sentence, "countries" is modified by "populous" (having a large population), so the focus is on the people living there. But the phrase "respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries" uses "countries" to refer to the nations as entities where surveys were conducted. The respondents are from those countries, but "most populous countries" directly describes the countries as having many people. Sense 3 is specifically about the people. If we replace "countries" with "the people who live in Mexico and Brazil", it doesn't fit: "... the region's two most populous [peoples]"? That would be odd. More naturally, "populous" describes the country as containing many people, so it's still the nation/state sense.

4. sense 4: "rural area". Not applicable.

5. sense 5: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary". Not specific enough, not about a political entity.

In general, for countries like Mexico and Brazil, we refer to them as political entities (sense 1) or territorial entities (sense 2). Sense 1 and sense 2 are close. WordNet often distinguishes between the political entity (the government, the state) and the territory. In many contexts, the two are very similar. The examples for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" – the state as a political body. For sense 2: "he visited several European countries" – visiting the territory. Here, "most populous countries" – it's a property of the political entity, as a country's population is an attribute of the state. Also, the context discusses "support for democracy" in these countries, which is about the political system. So I lean towards sense 1.

But consider: "the region's two most populous countries" – the region is Latin America, a geographical area, and the countries are territorial entities within it. Often, when we say "populous countries", we refer to the nations as territories with people. However, WordNet sense 2 is explicitly about territory. The example: "he visited several European countries" emphasizes visiting the territory. Sense 1 is about the government, political organization. Does "populous" describe the political body or the territory? Typically, a country's population is an attribute of the state. Also, the context mentions "respondents in Mexico and Brazil", which implies the people living in these countries, but the reference to "countries" is to the nations. So probably sense 1 is the most appropriate because it's the political entity that has attributes like population, economic growth, support for democracy, etc. Sense 2 might be possible, but sense 1 is more holistic.

Let's check the synonyms: both sense 1 and sense 2 have "state, land". Sense 1 includes "nation, commonwealth, res publica, body politic". Sense 2 is more about territory. In the context, "countries" could be replaced with "nations" (which is in both). But "populous nations" is fine. I think sense 1 is slightly better because the entire passage is about political attitudes, democracy, institutions, which are attributes of the political body.

Thus, I will choose sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "democrats" in the given context. The candidate senses are:

1. a member of the Democratic Party
2. an advocate of democratic principles (synonym: populist)

The context: The passage talks about Latin America, democracy, support for democracy in various countries like Peru, Mexico, Brazil. It mentions "convinced democrats" in the 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 average."

Here, "convinced democrats" likely refers to people who are firmly committed to democratic principles, not necessarily members of a specific political party called the Democratic Party. The context is about support for democracy as a system, not about party affiliation. There is no mention of any political party named "Democratic Party" in the context; it's all about attitudes towards democracy. Therefore, the correct sense is the second one: an advocate of democratic principles.

We must output a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}, but the candidate senses are indexed 1 and 2 in the list. So we choose 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. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional <t>average</t> (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "average" in the given context. The context is: "which drags down the regional <t>average</t>". Here, "average" is referring to a statistic, specifically the mean or typical value of some measurement (likely the percentage of convinced democrats). Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "a statistic describing the location of a distribution". Synonyms: norm. Example: "it set the norm for American homes". This sense refers to a central tendency measure, which fits well.

2. sense 2: "(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities". This is specific to sports, like batting average. Not applicable here.

3. sense 3: "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual". Examples: "he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average". This sense refers to a typical or normal value, not necessarily a computed statistic. In the context, "regional average" likely refers to the computed mean (a statistic) of the percentage of convinced democrats across countries. The phrase "drag down the regional average" suggests a mathematical average that is being lowered. So sense 1 is more precise: it's a statistic describing the location of a distribution. Sense 3 is more about a qualitative "average" as in "normal" rather than a computed figure. The context is quantitative (percentages), so sense 1 is better.

Check examples in text: "support for democracy has risen...", "only around half... are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average". This is clearly a numerical average statistic. So I'll go with sense 1.

Thus: {"sense_index":

We are given a target word "chart" with surface form "chart". The context contains: "...which drags down the regional average (see <t>chart</t> 2). Some 44%... (chart 3)." So the word appears in the phrase "see chart 2" and "chart 3". Clearly, it refers to a visual display of information, like a graph or table. The candidate senses:
1: a visual display of information
2: a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

The context is about democracy support statistics, not navigation. Therefore, sense 1 is correct. The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "country" in the given context. The target is "country" in the sentence: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their <t>country</t>'s democracy works in practice..." The context discusses support for democracy in various countries on the Pacific rim of South America, mentioning Peru, Mexico, Brazil, etc. The phrase "their country's democracy" clearly refers to the political entity with a government. The sense options:

1. sense_key=country%1:14:00:: | definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations

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

In context, "their country's democracy" refers to the political entity, the nation-state with its government. Sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government", which fits perfectly. Sense 2 is about territory, but here we are talking about the democracy of the country, which is more about the political system and the people governing it, not just the land. Sense 3 is about the people, but "country's democracy" suggests the political system, not the mood of the people. Sense 4 is rural area, clearly wrong. Sense 5 is a vague geographical region, not fitting. Sense 1 is the best match: "the state has elected a new president" aligns with the idea of a country having a democracy. Also, synonyms include state, nation, land, commonwealth, etc. The context uses "countries" multiple times, always referring to nation-states (Peru, Mexico, Brazil). Therefore, sense index 1 is correct.

Now, return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "democracy" in the context. The target surface form is "democracy", and the context is a passage about attitudes towards democracy, support for democracy, and how democracy works in practice. The specific sentence with the target: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

We have three candidate senses:

1. Political orientation of those who favor government by the people.
2. A political system where supreme power lies in citizens who can elect representatives. Synonyms: republic, commonwealth.
3. Doctrine of majority rule.

The context talks about "how their country's democracy works in practice". This refers to the actual functioning of the political system, not just an orientation or a doctrine. Sense 2 defines democracy as a political system. Sense 2's definition: "a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them" fits perfectly with "country's democracy" and "works in practice". Sense 1 is about political orientation, which is more abstract and not something that "works in practice". Sense 3 is about majority rule doctrine, which is also not a system that works. Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "figure" in the given context. The sentence is: "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)." Here, "figure" refers to a numerical value, specifically a percentage (44%). So it's a numerical amount or statistic. Looking at the candidate senses, sense 7 is "an amount of money expressed numerically" with example "a figure of $17 was suggested." But that's specifically money. Sense 9 is "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with synonyms "number" and example "he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small." That seems more general: a number or quantity. Sense 3 is "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration" like digit. But here "figure" means a numerical value representing a percentage, not a single digit. Sense 9 fits best: "number" meaning a quantity. It says "the same figure as last year" meaning the same percentage. So it's a number representing a quantity. Sense 9's gloss: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals", synonyms: number. That matches.

Sense 7 is specifically money, but this is not money. Sense 9 is broader. So index 9.

Let's confirm: indices are given as 1 through 13. Sense 9 corresponds to index 9 in the list (since the first sense is number 1). So answer: {"sense_index": 9}.

The word "year" here refers to a period of time, specifically the previous calendar year. The context mentions "last year" multiple times, referring to the year before the current one. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=year%1:28:01:: definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days; synonyms=twelvemonth, yr; examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920. This is the general sense of a calendar year.
2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity; examples=a school year. This sense refers to a specialized year like academic year, fiscal year, etc. The context is about "last year" in the context of survey data, which is simply the previous calendar year, not a school year or activity-specific year.
3. sense_key=year%1:28:00:: definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun; examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days. This is the astronomical definition. Not relevant here.
4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: definition=a body of students who graduate together; synonyms=class; examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High. This refers to a group of students. Not relevant.

The context uses "year" as a unit of time, specifically a calendar year. Sense 1 fits perfectly. "Last year" means the previous calendar year. So I'll choose sense 1.

But note: The target is the last occurrence in the paragraph: "the same figure as last year". That is clearly calendar year.

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

We are asked to disambiguate the word "increase" in the given context. Let's examine the sentence:

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

The context is about a percentage of satisfaction with democracy. The same figure as last year (maybe 44%?) but an increase compared to 25% in 2001. So they are comparing a percentage (44%) to a previous lower percentage (25%), and calling the difference a "big increase". So the "increase" is the change in the number, the amount by which the percentage went up. It's not an act of increasing, it's not a process, it's not just a quantity added, but the difference: the amount by which something increases.

Let's check the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=increase%1:23:00:: (definition=a quantity that is added; synonyms=addition, gain; examples: there was an addition to property taxes this year; they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks). This could fit if we think of the increase as the added amount, but in this context, it's not an addition like a tax addition; it's a change in percentage points. The example "they recorded the cattle's gain in weight" is similar to a difference, but here it's a comparison of two percentages. "Gain" could work, but the sense 1 is "a quantity that is added", which might be more about something added on top of something else. In our case, the 44% is not an addition; it's the new value, and the increase is the difference from 25% to 44%, which is 19 percentage points. So it's the amount of increase, not something added to a base. But the gloss says "a quantity that is added" – if we had a base of 25% and added 19%, that's an increase. However, the sentence says "a big increase on the 25%", which could mean the difference. Usually in such contexts, "increase" refers to the amount by which something grows, i.e., sense 4: "the amount by which something increases". Let's look at sense 4.

4. sense_key=increase%1:07:00:: (definition=the amount by which something increases; synonyms=increment; examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare). This fits perfectly: "an increase of 15 percent" – here they say "a big increase on the 25%", meaning the amount by which the figure increased from 25% to 44%. That's exactly the amount of increase. So sense 4 is likely.

2. sense_key=increase%1:11:00:: (definition=a change resulting in an increase; examples=the increase is scheduled for next month). This is more abstract: a change event. The context talks about a figure, not a scheduled event. It's not the change itself but the magnitude of the change. So not sense 2.

3. sense_key=increase%1:22:00:: (definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important; synonyms=increment, growth; examples=the increase in unemployment; the growth of population). This is a process. The context doesn't describe a process; it's a static comparison of two numbers. "The increase in unemployment" would refer to the ongoing trend. But here it's a specific difference between two years. So not sense 3.

5. sense_key=increase%1:04:00:: (definition=the act of increasing something; synonyms=step-up; examples=he gave me an increase in salary). This is an act, like giving a raise. Not applicable to a statistical difference.

So sense 4 is the best: the amount by which something increases (the increment). The example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" directly matches the usage: "a big increase on the 25%", meaning the percentage went up by some amount (likely from 25% to 44%, an increase of 19 percentage points, but the text says "a big increase on the 25%", implying the increase is relative to that low base). It aligns with sense 4.

Thus, we choose sense index 4. The JSON should be {"sense_index": 4}.

Context:
The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (<t>chart</t> 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "chart" in the given context. The target surface form is "chart". We need to choose between two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=chart%1:10:00:: | definition=a visual display of information
2. sense_key=chart%1:06:00:: | definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

The context mentions "see chart 2" and "(<t>chart</t> 3)". It is referring to visual representations of data (likely bar charts or graphs) that illustrate survey results. This is clearly a "visual display of information", not a navigational map. Thus, sense 1 is correct.

Return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}
