Target lemma: level
Target surface form: levels
Context:
Major U.S. firms such as Chevron and ConocoPhillips, which have cultivated close ties with the Iraqi Oil Ministry and have provided technical advice in recent years, walked away empty-handed. Russian companies Lukoil and Gazprom were the top stakeholders in two of the contracts awarded this weekend. State-owned China National Petroleum Corporation bid on more contracts than any other company and walked away with large stakes in contracts for two major fields. We all know that China is on track to become a major economic as well as technological power, Oil Ministry spokesman Assam Jihad said. We feel confident that the Chinese company will be on par with its competitors and will deliver on its commitments towards Iraq. Companies pre-selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting output above current <t>levels</t> at each field.

We are given: "Target lemma: level, Target surface form: levels" in the context: "Companies pre-selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting output above current <t>levels</t> at each field."

We need to select the best WordNet sense from the provided candidates.

The sentence: "boosting output above current levels at each field." Here "levels" refers to the current amount of output (like production quantity). It's about a scale of intensity or amount. So it's about a position on a scale of intensity or amount. That matches sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" with synonyms degree, grade. Example: "a moderate grade of intelligence; a high level of care is required." But here it's about output levels: "boosting output above current levels" meaning increasing the production quantity above the current amount. So it's a level of output, which is an amount or intensity. Sense 1 is for intensity/amount/quality. Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" - synonyms degree, stage, point. That could also work: "current stage" might be a stage in a process, but here it's about output quantity, not a process. Sense 2 is about relative position or degree of value in a graded group, like lumber grade. Not exactly. Sense 4 is height above ground. Not. Sense 5 is spirit level. Not. Sense 6 is horizontal surface. Not. Sense 7 is abstract layer/stratum. Not. Sense 8 is floor/storey. Not.

So between 1 and 3: "boosting output above current levels" - output is a quantity, so it's a level of production amount. Sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" directly fits because "level" here means the amount of output. "Output above current levels" means above the current amount. Sense 3 is more about a point in a process, but we aren't talking about a process, we're talking about the level of output. So 1 is better.

Thus, I choose sense_index 1.

reasoning_content: We are given the context: "Companies pre-selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting output above current levels at each <t>field</t>." The target word is "field". We need to choose the best sense. The context is about oil fields, since it's about oil contracts, output, and per barrel fee. The word "field" here refers to an oil field, which is a geographic region where oil is found. Among the senses, sense 14: "a geographic region (land or sea) under which something valuable is found" with example "the diamond fields of South Africa". This is the most appropriate. Sense 1: a piece of land cleared of trees... not relevant. Sense 2: battlefield... no. Sense 3: somewhere where practical work is done... not oil-specific. Sense 4: branch of knowledge... no. Sense 5: force field... no. Sense 6: commercial enterprise... not quite, though oil fields are commercial, but the sense is more about the enterprise, not the physical location.

reasoning_content: We are asked to find the best sense for "banks" in the sentence: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles." The target lemma is "bank", surface form is "banks". The context mentions "US banks", "crisis-hit", "repay state support", "breaking free from state shackles". This clearly refers to financial institutions that received state support during a crisis and are now repaying it. So the sense is a financial institution. Among the candidate senses, sense_key=bank%1:14:00:: fits: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels money into lending activities", synonyms: depository financial institution, banking concern, banking company, examples: "he cashed a check at the bank; that bank holds the mortgage on my home". Other senses: sloping land, ridge, arrangement of objects, supply, gambling funds, slope in road, coin bank, bank building, flight maneuver. None of them fit the context of financial institutions repaying state support. Sense 2 (14:00) is the most appropriate. However, note that sense 9 (06:00) is "a building in which the business of banking transacted" (bank building). That's also related, but here it's about the institution repaying support, not the building. So sense 2 is better. The index in the list is 2 (since counting from 1: first is 1, second is 2). So we return {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "state" and target surface form "state" in the context: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles." We need to choose the best sense from the provided list.

Let's analyze the context. The sentence says "US banks repay state support" and "breaking free from their state shackles." Here, "state" likely refers to the government or governmental support, especially since it mentions "US banks" and the idea of repaying support that came from the state (i.e., the government). It's about banks that received government assistance (like bailouts) during the crisis and are now repaying that support and breaking free from government control or restrictions.

Now, look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=state%1:15:01:: | definition=the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation | synonyms=province | examples=his state is in the deep south. This refers to a subdivision of a country, like a US state (e.g., Texas). That doesn't fit here because the context says "state support" in the context of US banks, likely referring to federal government, not a particular state.

2. sense_key=state%1:03:00:: | definition=the way something is with respect to its main attributes | examples=the current state of knowledge; his state of health. This is about condition or status. Not fitting.

3. sense_key=state%1:14:01:: | definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state | examples=the state has lowered its income tax. This refers to the government as an entity, particularly in the sense of the governing body. This could fit: "state support" meaning support from the government.

4. sense_key=state%1:14:00:: | definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=nation, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations. This refers to a country or nation-state. "State support" could be interpreted as support from the nation, but it's less precise than sense 3 because sense 3 specifically refers to the government. The context says "state support" and "state shackles," which implies government intervention and control. However, both sense 3 and 4 are closely related. The distinction: sense 4 is the sovereign state as a whole (territory, people, government), while sense 3 is specifically the government as the ruling body. In the context of banks repaying support, it's the government that provided the support, so sense 3 is more apt.

5. sense_key=state%1:26:02:: | definition=(chemistry) the three traditional states of matter. Not relevant.

6. sense_key=state%1:26:01:: | definition=a state of depression or agitation. Not relevant.

7. sense_key=state%1:15:00:: | definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=country, land. This is similar to sense 4 but emphasizes territory rather than the political body. Not as precise.

8. sense_key=state%1:14:02:: | definition=the federal department in the United States that sets and maintains foreign policies | synonyms=Department of State, United States Department of State, State Department, DoS. This is specifically the State Department. That doesn't fit; banks don't repay State Department support.

Thus, the best choice is sense 3: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state. The context is about banks repaying government support.

So answer: {"sense_index": 3}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the lemma "support" with the surface form "support" in the context: "US banks repay state <t>support</t> The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles."

We have 11 candidate senses. We need to pick the best one based on the context.

Let's analyze: The phrase "repay state support" suggests that banks are repaying money they received from the state. It's about financial assistance from the state. The context mentions "crisis-hit US major banks" and "state shackles", likely referring to bailout money. So "support" here means financial aid.

Now look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=support%1:04:04:: | definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together; they gave him emotional support during difficult times

This fits: supplying money or necessities. The example "his support kept the family together" could be financial. But note the second example "emotional support" is not financial, but the definition includes "supplying with money or necessities". In context, it's money.

2. sense_key=support%1:04:00:: | definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support

This is about political or policy support, not financial repayment.

3. sense_key=support%1:09:00:: | definition=something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples=the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed

Immaterial assistance, not financial.

4. military support, not relevant.

5. documentary validation, not relevant.

6. sense_key=support%1:21:00:: | definition=the financial means whereby one lives | synonyms=keep, livelihood, living, bread and butter, sustenance | examples=each child was expected to pay for their keep; he applied to the state for support

This is about financial means for living, like welfare. Could be, but "repay state support" might refer to repaying a loan or bailout, not necessarily a living allowance. The banks are breaking free from state shackles, meaning they are repaying the money they got, like TARP funds.

7. physical supporting structure, not relevant.

8. act of bearing weight, not relevant.

9. musical part, not relevant.

10. device bearing weight, not relevant.

11. sense_key=support%1:21:01:: | definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | synonyms=financial support, funding, backing, financial backing | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

This is about providing funds for a project. It fits perfectly: the state provided financial support (bailout) to the banks, and now they are repaying it. The synonyms "funding, backing" are very apt.

Comparing sense 1 and sense 11: Sense 1 is "activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities." It includes providing for someone's needs, like supporting a family. Sense 11 specifically says "financial resources provided to make some project possible." The state support to banks was to keep them afloat, not necessarily as a regular maintenance. It was emergency funding. The phrase "repay state support" implies a loan or capital injection that is being repaid. Sense 11 with "funding, backing" is more about project funding. However, sense 6 is about financial means whereby one lives, like welfare, which is less appropriate for banks. Sense 11 seems precise: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" – the state's support was to keep the banks operational.

Also, sense 1's example "his support kept the family together" could be interpreted as financial support, but the definition is broad. Sense 11's synonyms "financial support, funding, backing" are very common in news about bailouts. So I'd lean towards sense 11.

But let's check if there's any other sense. Sense 4 is military, no. So between 1, 6, and 11. Sense 6 is about livelihood, not what banks get from the state. Sense 1 might be too broad. Sense 11 specifically mentions "financial resources provided to make some project possible", and the state support was to make the banks' survival possible. So sense 11 is the best.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index":

reasoning_content:
We are given the sentence: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their <t>state</t> shackles." The target word is "state" as an adjective? Wait, "state shackles" - "state" here modifies "shackles". It means shackles imposed by the state, i.e., the government. So "state" here refers to the government, the political entity. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. state as a province (administrative district) - not fitting.
2. state as a condition - not fitting.
3. state as the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state - this is about the government, e.g., "the state has lowered its income tax". This seems plausible: "state shackles" meaning government-imposed restrictions.
4. state as a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation) - this is the country itself. But here "state support" and "state shackles" refers to government support/shackles. Often "state" is used to mean the government, not just the nation. But note: "state support" could be interpreted as support from the government (the state). In the context of US banks, they are repaying TARP funds, which is a government program. So "state" refers to the US government. Sense 3 specifically says "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" and the example "the state has lowered its income tax" aligns. Sense 4 is the broader nation-state. But "state shackles" implies the government's control, not the nation's territory.
5. chemistry state - no.
6. state of mind - no.
7. territory occupied by a nation - no.
8. US Department of State - no, that's a specific department, not applicable.

So sense 3 is the best: the government as an actor. Sense 4 could also be used, but when talking about "state support" and "state shackles", it's typically referring to the government apparatus, not the entire body politic. Example: "the state has lowered its income tax" is a government action. Thus, sense 3.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "shackle" with surface form "shackles" in the given context. We have two candidate senses. We need to choose the single best indexed sense (1 or 2) based on the context.

Context: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go."

The phrase "breaking free from their state shackles" uses the word "shackle" metaphorically. Shackles here refer to constraints or restrictions imposed by the state support. It is not a literal physical shackle. Therefore, sense 1: "a restraint that confines or restricts freedom (especially something used to tie down or restrain a prisoner)" fits perfectly because it is a metaphorical restraint. Sense 2: "a U-shaped bar; the open end can be passed through chain links and closed with a bar" is a literal physical object, which is not what is meant in this context.

Thus, the correct sense index is 1.

reasoning_content: We are asked to disambiguate "support" in the context: "US banks repay state support ... Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion ... Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support." Clearly, it's financial support provided by the state to banks. Looking at the candidate senses, sense 11 is "financial resources provided to make some project possible", with synonyms "financial support, funding, backing, financial backing", example: "the foundation provided support for the experiment". That fits perfectly: state support as financial backing. Sense 1 is "activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities", but that's more about the act, while here it's the actual money repaid. Sense 6 is "financial means whereby one lives" (keep, livelihood), not fitting. Sense 11 explicitly mentions funding and backing. So the best is sense 11.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to find the best sense for the target lemma "bank" with surface form "bank" in the given context. The context talks about US banks repaying state support, mentioning Bank of America and Citigroup. The target word is in "<t>bank</t> protection fund TARP". The phrase is "bank protection fund TARP". TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) is a government program to stabilize the financial system. The "bank protection fund" likely refers to a fund that protects banks or is related to banks. The sense should be about banks as financial institutions. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sloping land
2. a financial institution (bank)
3. a long ridge or pile
4. an arrangement of objects in a row
5. a supply or stock held in reserve
6. funds held by a gambling house
7. a slope in the turn of a road
8. a container for keeping money at home
9. a building where banking is transacted
10. a flight maneuver

The context: "bank protection fund TARP" - TARP is a program to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen them. The sense here is clearly about financial institutions. Sense 2: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels money into lending activities". Sense 9 is about the building, but the "bank protection fund" refers to the financial institution, not the building. The fund is to protect banks (the institutions), so sense 2 is the best. Examples for sense 2: "he cashed a check at the bank; that bank holds the mortgage on my home" - fits the financial institution concept. So the index is 2.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "protection" in the given context. The target is "protection" in the phrase "support from the bank protection fund TARP". Actually, the context says: "Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP". So, "protection" here is part of "protection fund TARP". TARP is the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was a government program created to stabilize the financial system during the 2008 financial crisis. The term "protection fund" is in the context. So, which sense of "protection" fits? Let's analyze the candidate senses.

1. activity of protecting someone or something: This is general, but the context is a specific fund named "protection fund" TARP. It's a financial context. The fund is meant to provide financial support and stability, i.e., a safety net for banks. It's not just any protection; it's specifically to defend against financial failure. Sense 3: defense against financial failure; financial independence. Synonyms: security. Examples: "his pension gave him security in his old age; insurance provided protection against loss of wages due to illness". That seems perfect for a financial protection fund. Also, TARP was designed to purchase troubled assets and inject capital to protect banks from failure.

Let's check other senses:
- Sense 2: covering to protect from physical damage/injury. Not relevant.
- Sense 4: condition of being protected. Could fit, but it's more about the state rather than the financial mechanism. But the fund name "protection fund" suggests the purpose, not just the state. Sense 3 explicitly mentions "defense against financial failure; financial independence" which matches a "protection fund" aimed at preventing bank failures.
- Sense 5: kindly endorsement and guidance (auspices). Not relevant.
- Sense 6: trade protection (tariffs). Not relevant.
- Sense 7: extortion. Not relevant.

So, sense 3 is the best fit. It captures the meaning of financial protection. Thus, the indexed sense is 3.

Now, return JSON with {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to do word sense disambiguation for "fund" in the context: "bank protection fund TARP". The target is "fund" in "bank protection fund". TARP is the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which is a government program that provided money to banks. So "fund" here refers to a reserve of money set aside for a purpose. The phrase "bank protection fund" is like a fund that protects banks. The candidate senses:
1. monetary fund: a reserve of money set aside for some purpose.
2. store, stock: a supply of something available for future use (like a stock of cigars).
3. investment company: a financial institution that sells shares and invests in securities.

Clearly, TARP is not an investment company; it's a government program that is a fund of money. The context says "the bank protection fund TARP". So it's money set aside for bank protection. Sense 1 fits perfectly. Sense 2 is more generic (store of something, not specifically money). Sense 3 is an investment firm, not applicable.

Thus the best indexed sense is 1.

We are asked to do word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "amount" in the given context. The context is: "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go." The target surface form is "amount". We have four candidate senses.

Sense 1: a quantity of money (sum, sum of money, amount of money). Example: "he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient"
Sense 2: the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion. Example: "an adequate amount of food for four people"
Sense 3: how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify (measure, quantity)
Sense 4: a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers (sum, total)

In the context, "in the amount USD 45 billion" clearly refers to a specific sum of money. It is money being repaid. The phrase "the amount USD 45 billion" indicates a quantity of money. Sense 1 is explicitly for money. Sense 3 is more general for any quantity, but sense 1 is more precise because it specifies money. Sense 4 is about addition, like a sum total, but here it's just a stated amount. Sense 2 is about relative magnitude, not a specific figure. Therefore, the best sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "reports" in the sentence: "And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support." The target is "reports" as a noun. Let's analyze the context.

The phrase is "according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC". This indicates that CNBC, a news broadcaster, is providing some information. The "reports" are something that CNBC has reported. This is likely news reports or accounts of something.

Let's go through the senses:

1. A written document describing findings (study, written report). This is more academic or formal study, not typical for a news broadcaster like CNBC, though they might publish such. But "reports" in plural with "according to" often means news reports.

2. The act of informing by verbal report. Synonyms: account. Example: "he heard reports that they were causing trouble". This could fit: CNBC might be giving verbal reports (broadcasts are verbal), but this sense emphasizes the act of informing rather than the content. The phrase "according to reports" often refers to the content of news stories.

3. A short account of the news (news report, story). This seems perfect. CNBC is a news broadcaster, so these are news reports. The context: "according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC" clearly indicates news stories.

4. A sharp explosive sound. No.

5. A written evaluation of a student. No.

6. An essay. No.

7. The general estimation (reputation). "A person of bad report" is archaic. Doesn't fit.

Between 2 and 3, 3 is more specific to news, and the context explicitly mentions a broadcaster. Sense 2 is broader (verbal report) but sense 3 directly matches "news report". The example for sense 2: "he heard reports that they were causing trouble" is similar to our context: "according to reports... Citigroup is also planning...". However, sense 3's example: "the report of his speech; the story was on the 11 o'clock news" aligns with a broadcaster. In modern usage, "reports" from a broadcaster are news reports. So 3 is best.

Thus, I'll pick sense 3.

We are given: Target lemma: broadcaster, target surface form: broadcaster. Context: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US <t>broadcaster</t> CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."

The target is "broadcaster" referring to "CNBC", which is likely a news network (CNBC is probably a misspelling or variant of CNBC? Actually, CNBC might refer to "CNBC" as a broadcaster. There is a known financial news network CNBC? Maybe it's "CNBC" but typical is CNBC? Wait, it says "US broadcaster CNBC". Probably they meant "CNBC" (Consumer News and Business Channel) or something similar. It's clearly a media organization that broadcasts. So sense 1: "someone who broadcasts on radio or television" fits perfectly. Sense 2: "a mechanical device for scattering something" is completely irrelevant. So we choose sense index 1.

Thus response: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the lemma "state" with surface form "state" in the given context. The target word is "state" in the phrase "repay the state support". Let's analyze the context.

The context: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion... And, according to reports... Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support."

Here, "state support" refers to financial support from the government. The "state shackles" metaphorically indicates government restrictions. So "state" here means the government, specifically the U.S. government. It's the institution that provided bailout money via TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program, a government program). So "state" refers to the governing authority, the political entity. This aligns with senses related to government.

Now examine candidate senses:

1. sense_key=state%1:15:01:: | definition: territory of a constituent administrative district (province) - examples: "his state is in the deep south" (like a U.S. state). Not applicable here; "state" in the context is not referring to a subnational unit like Texas.

2. sense_key=state%1:03:00:: | condition/attributes. Not relevant.

3. sense_key=state%1:14:01:: | definition: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state. Synonyms not given explicitly but definition: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state". Example: "the state has lowered its income tax". This fits: the state (government) gave support, and now banks are repaying it. "State" as the government entity.

4. sense_key=state%1:14:00:: | definition: a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country). Example: "the state has elected a new president". This could also work: the state as the country/government. But sense 3 specifically says "the group of people comprising the government" which might be more precise for "state support" meaning government support.

5. (chemistry) not relevant.
6. (depression/agitation) not relevant.
7. territory occupied by a nation (country, land) - could work but it's more about the land rather than the government. "State support" implies the government apparatus, not the land.
8. specific U.S. State Department. Not relevant.

Distinction between sense 3 and sense 4: WordNet often distinguishes between "state" as the government (sense 3) and "state" as the nation/country (sense 4). In the phrase "state support," it's the government providing support. Banks are repaying the government's bailout money. The example for sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" is a government action. The example for sense 4: "the state has elected a new president" is about the political entity electing a leader. Both are close, but sense 3 specifically highlights the group of people comprising the government. I think sense 3 is more accurate: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state." The support comes from the government as an institution.

Moreover, sense 4's synonyms include "nation, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic". "Body politic" could also cover the government, but the definition emphasizes the politically organized body under a single government. In context, "state shackles" implies the restrictions imposed by the government, so again government.

I'll go with sense 3.

Thus, {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "Target lemma: support", "Target surface form: support", and context about banks repaying state support. The context: "US banks repay state support ... Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP ... Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support." The target is "support" in the phrase "the state support" and then later "the support". The context indicates it's financial assistance provided by the state to banks, which they are repaying. This is clearly a financial aid or funding provided by the government.

Now look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=support%1:04:04:: | definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together; they gave him emotional support during difficult times
2. sense_key=support%1:04:00:: | definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support
3. sense_key=support%1:09:00:: | definition=something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples=the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed

7. structural support
8. act of bearing weight
9. musical accompaniment
10. device that bears weight
11. sense_key=support%1:21:01:: | definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | synonyms=financial support, funding, backing, financial backing | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

The context is about financial support from the state (government) to banks, specifically through TARP. The support is money provided to the banks. They are repaying that support. So it's financial assistance.

Sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" - this fits, as the state provided money to the banks. Example: "his support kept the family together" - that's about providing money or necessities. However, the example mentions "emotional support" which might broaden it, but the core is "supplying with money or necessities". This seems plausible.

Sense 6: "the financial means whereby one lives" - but that usually refers to sustenance for living, like income, livelihood. The example "he applied to the state for support" does sound relevant, but typically "support" in that sense is for individuals or families, not for corporations. However, the definition says "the financial means whereby one lives", which is more about living expenses. The context is about banks repaying money, not livelihood.

Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - this is more about funding a project. Banks repaying state support: the state support was likely a bailout fund, which is financial resources provided to keep the banks afloat. This seems very close.

Between sense 1, 6, and 11, which is the best fit? Sense 1 is about "activity of providing", but the sentence uses "support" as a noun, and it's being repaid. That suggests it's not the activity but the actual money/funds. The context: "repaid the support" means they repaid the money. So it's more like the thing provided, not the activity. Sense 6 is specific to livelihood. Sense 11 directly mentions "financial resources provided" and "funding, backing". The example: "the foundation provided support for the experiment" – a foundation provides funding. Similarly, the state provided support to banks. So sense 11 is specifically "financial support, funding".

Also, note: "US banks repay state support – ... Bank of America repaid the support ... TARP in the amount USD 45 billion ... Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support." It's about a specific financial bailout program. The WordNet synset 1:21:01 is "financial support, funding, backing". This matches perfectly.

Look at the gloss: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" – the project being the survival of the banks. The examples: "the foundation provided support for the experiment" – analogous.

Therefore, sense_index 11 seems best.

Now we need to return a JSON with the sense_index. So it would be {"sense_index": 11}.

But note: the instruction: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." So we just output the JSON.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "institutions" in the given context. Let's read the context: "US banks repay state support... The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions..." Here, "institutions" refers to Bank of America, Citigroup, and other major banks. They are organizations, specifically financial institutions.

Now, evaluate candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose" synonyms: establishment. This fits perfectly: banks are organizations, establishments.

2. sense 2: "an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated." This is more about a physical building or campus, like a university or museum. Banks are not primarily defined by their buildings, but as organizations. So sense 1 is better.

3. sense 3: "a custom that for a long time... feature of some group or society" (institution of marriage). Not applicable.

4. sense 4: "the act of starting something for the first time" (foundation, creation). Not applicable.

5. sense 5: "a hospital for mentally incompetent..." Not applicable.

Clearly, sense 1 is correct. Sense 2 might be tempting only if we think of a bank as a building, but the context talks about repaying state support, breaking free from restrictions on manager bonuses and charges—these are actions of the organization as a whole, not just the physical location. So sense 1.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

We are given a target lemma "restriction" and surface form "restrictions" in context. The context is about US banks repaying state support to "wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges." This suggests that the restrictions are rules or limitations imposed as conditions of accepting the money. The mention of "such as limits on manager bonuses" aligns with a principle or rule that limits something. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "a principle that limits the extent of something" with synonym "limitation" and example "I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements" – this fits well: the restrictions are principles/limits on bonuses, etc.

2. sense 2: "an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)" – this is more about the act of restricting, not the restriction itself as a rule. In the context, "restrictions" refers to the actual rules, not the act of imposing them. The phrase "restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance" implies the restrictions themselves (the rules) are tied to the money. So sense 2 is more procedural.

3. sense 3: "the act of keeping something within specified bounds (by force if necessary)" with synonym "confinement" and example "the restriction of the infection to a focal area" – this is about the act of confining, often physical or forceful. Not applicable here.

Thus, sense 1 is the correct one. The WordNet sense key "restriction%1:09:00::" corresponds to sense 1. The index in the list is 1. So the answer is {"sense_index":

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the single best indexed sense for the word "acceptance" in the given context. The context is about banks repaying state support, specifically mentioning that they want to free themselves from restrictions associated with the "acceptance" of the money. The target word appears in the phrase: "the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money". This implies the act of taking or receiving the money, which brings about conditions like limits on bonuses and paying high charges. So we need to select the sense that matches this usage: the act of taking something that is offered.

Now let's check the candidate senses:

1. Mental attitude of belief (credence) — doesn't match, it's about belief, not taking money.
2. The act of accepting with approval; favorable reception — could be relevant, but examples like "the proposal found wide acceptance" refer to approval. Here, it's more about physically taking the money, not necessarily approving of it; they are taking the money and want to avoid restrictions. But the banks did accept the support, so it could be the act of accepting. However, sense 7 is more directly "the act of taking something that is offered" which fits perfectly: "her acceptance of the gift", "he anticipated their acceptance of his offer". The money is offered (state support) and they accept it. Sense 7 seems more neutral and literal about taking/receiving offered thing. Sense 2 is about favorable reception, adoption, which might also apply, but the context emphasizes the act of taking the money with its attached conditions. Sense 7 is explicitly "the act of taking something that is offered" with examples like "acceptance of the gift", which is very close to "acceptance of the money". The banks took the money. So sense 7 is a better fit.

Let's compare:
Sense 2: adoption, favorable reception. Example: "its adoption by society" – that's more about approving and taking in a broader sense, not a specific offered thing.
Sense 7: her acceptance of the gift encouraged him; he anticipated their acceptance of his offer. This perfectly matches a concrete act of taking an offered item (money).

Also, sense 5 (banker's acceptance) is a banking term but refers to a time draft, not the act of taking money. The sentence says "acceptance of the money", not a financial instrument. So that's not it.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 7.

Now we output a JSON object with "sense_index": 7.

We are asked to choose the best sense for "money" in the given context. The context: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the <t>money</t>, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."

Here, "money" refers to the funds received from the state support, specifically from the TARP program. It's the actual cash or funds that the banks accepted. The senses are:
1. Sense 1: "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender". This emphasizes the physical or abstract concept of currency used in transactions.
2. Sense 2: "wealth reckoned in terms of money". This is about financial wealth as an asset, e.g., "all his money is in real estate". This sense is more about net worth.
3. Sense 3: "the official currency issued by a government or national bank". This is about a specific currency, like dollars or francs.

In the context, the banks are repaying the "state support" they received. The money they accepted came with conditions. The focus is on the actual funds they received from the government, which is a medium of exchange (legal tender). It's not about their overall wealth (sense 2) because the restrictions are tied to the specific TARP funds. And it's not about a specific currency type (sense 3) because the context mentions USD amounts but the issue is about the money as a form of support. Sense 1 seems most fitting: it's the medium of exchange used to provide support, and the examples include "we tried to collect the money he owed us", which is similar to repaying money. The restrictions are on "the acceptance of the money", i.e., accepting the funds. So, the best choice is sense 1.

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