Target lemma: confidence
Target surface form: confidence
Context:
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 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "confidence" in the given context. We have five candidate senses. Let's examine the context:

"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)."

The context is about public opinion regarding trust in political institutions. The phrase "had confidence in" means they trusted or had faith in those institutions. Let's look at the senses:

1. sense_key: confidence%1:09:00:: | definition: freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | synonyms: assurance, self-assurance, self-confidence, authority, sureness | examples: his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular; after that failure he lost his confidence
This sense refers to self-confidence, belief in oneself. Not applicable here; it's about institutions.

2. sense_key: confidence%1:12:00:: | definition: a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples: I have confidence in our team; confidence is always borrowed, never owned
This sense directly matches: a feeling of trust in someone or something. The example "I have confidence in our team" parallels "had confidence in their country's Congress". This seems perfect.

3. sense_key: confidence%1:26:02:: | definition: a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples: public confidence in the economy
This sense is about hopefulness about future events. It could be related, but the context is about trust in institutions, not specifically about hopefulness for favorable events. The example "public confidence in the economy" is similar, but sense 2 seems more direct as a feeling of trust. Sense 3 is a state of confident hopefulness. However, the phrasing "had confidence in" is more about trust.

4. sense_key: confidence%1:26:03:: | definition: a trustful relationship | synonyms: trust | examples: he took me into his confidence; he betrayed their trust
This sense refers to a relationship of trust, such as confiding in someone. The phrase "took me into his confidence" means sharing secrets. Not about having confidence in an institution.

5. sense_key: confidence%1:10:00:: | definition: a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples: everyone trusted him with their confidences; the priest could not reveal her confidences
This sense refers to a secret. Not applicable.

Sense 2 clearly matches: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)". The example "I have confidence in our team" mirrors the structure. Therefore, the correct index is 2.

We must return a JSON object with sense_index as the number

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "country" in the given context. The target word appears in the sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'s Congress and 45% in their government...". We need to choose the best sense among the five provided.

Let's analyze the context: The overall passage discusses support for democracy in various countries on the Pacific rim of South America, mentioning Peru, Mexico, Brazil, etc. It talks about political institutions like Congress and government, and refers to "their country's democracy". The specific sentence says "their country's Congress", where "country" is used in a possessive form to indicate the nation to which the Congress belongs.

Now, examine the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic). Example: "the state has elected a new president". This sense emphasizes the political entity as a whole.

2. sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" (state, land). Example: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries". This sense focuses on the geographical territory.

3. sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" (nation, land). Example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation". This sense refers to the population.

4. sense 4: "an area outside of cities and towns" (rural area). Example: "his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country". This is clearly not the sense in this context, as we are talking about political institutions.

5. sense 5: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography)" (area). Example: "Bible country". This is a more vague geographical region, not a nation-state.

In the sentence, "their country's Congress" means the Congress of the nation they belong to. It refers to the political entity, the nation as a governed state. Sense 1 is the political entity. Sense 2 is the territory; but when we say "country's Congress", we are referring to the political body that governs, not just the land. Sense 3 is the people, but "country's Congress" doesn't mean the people's Congress in the sense of the population directly; it's the legislative body of the nation-state. The possessive "country's" here indicates the nation to which the Congress belongs, so it's the nation as a political entity.

Looking at the broader context: "support for democracy has risen in several countries", "their country's democracy", etc. All these refer to nations as political entities. So sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus, the correct index is 1.

We are given: "Target lemma: congress", "Target surface form: Congress", and context sentences talking about Latin American political attitudes. The target word appears in: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's <t>Congress</t> and 45% in their government..." So clearly it refers to a national legislative body. Looking at the senses:

1. United States Congress: specific to the US. The context mentions "their country's Congress" in a survey about Latin America, so it is not referring to the US Congress but to the congresses of various countries. So 1 is too specific.

2. A meeting of elected or appointed representatives: that's a generic definition of a congress, like a formal assembly or meeting. It could describe a national legislative assembly, but sense 3 is more precise for a national legislative assembly.

3. A national legislative assembly: exactly matches "their country's Congress" meaning the national legislature.

4. Sexual intercourse. Not applicable.

Thus sense 3 is the best fit.

We are asked to pick the best sense for "government" in the given context. The target sentence: "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)." The context is about support for democracy, satisfaction with democracy, and confidence in institutions. "Government" here clearly refers to the governing authority of the country, the administration or executive branch, as it's paired with "their country's Congress." So it's the organization that governs, not the act of governing, nor the system, nor the study. Synonyms for sense 1 include "authorities, regime". The example "the government reduced taxes" fits well. Sense 1 is "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit". This is the best match.

Sense 2: act of governing, not appropriate. Sense 3: system or form of government, like "tyrannical government", not appropriate because they have confidence in the government institution, not the system. Sense 4: study of government, irrelevant.

So sense index 1.

The target is clearly "year" as in a calendar year, comparing to the previous year. The context is about survey results and uses "last year" to refer to the previous calendar year. Let's check 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 most general sense of a calendar year (365 or 366 days). The example "last year" fits perfectly.

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 is a specific activity-based year (like school year, fiscal year). The context says "last year" without specifying any particular activity; it's just comparing to the previous calendar year in a survey context.

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.

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 is a group of students, not relevant.

Clearly, sense 1 is the correct one. The context uses "last year" as a temporal reference point, meaning the previous 365-day period. So the answer is sense_index 1.

We are given a context: "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.

A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

The target word is "cases" in the phrase "the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)." The "cases" here refers to "confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government" – so "both cases" means both of those survey questions/items: confidence in Congress and confidence in government. They are two instances or situations. They are not legal cases, not containers, not grammatical cases, etc. The sense needed is something like "instance" or "circumstances" or "occurrence". Let's examine the candidate senses.

Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" (instance, example). Example: "another instance occurred yesterday". This fits well: the two survey results are two instances/occurrences. However, it might be slightly odd because they are not "occurrences" in the sense of events, but they are data points or situations. Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" (event). Example: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled". This often refers to a condition or a scenario. "In both cases" could mean "in both circumstances/situations". That is also plausible. Sense 4: "the actual state of things" – "that was not the case". This is like "the fact of the matter". But here "in both cases" means "for both of these things/survey items". It's more like instances. Sense 3 is legal. Sense 5 is container. Sense 6 is a person requiring services. Sense 7 is subject of study. Sense 8 is problem investigation. Sense 9 is statement of facts. Sense 10 is quantity contained. Sense 11 grammatical. Sense 12 temporary state of mind. Sense 13 person of specified kind. Sense 14 type size. Sense 15 sheathing. Sense 16 housing/outer covering. Sense 17 door/window frame. Sense 18 printing receptacle. Sense 19 pillowcase. Sense 20 display case.

The most common and fitting for "both cases" meaning "both of those survey percentages/questions" is sense 1 or sense 2. "Example" and "instance" for sense 1 is very general. "Case" as in "in this case" meaning "in this situation" is often sense 2. The phrase "in both cases" is typical for sense 2 (special set of circumstances). But also sense 1 "an occurrence of something" can be used. Let's check the examples: sense 1: "it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday". That is more like an instance of an event or action. Here, the "cases" are statistics: "the same as last year in both cases" – it's the same figure for each of the two measures. That is more like "instances" of a figure? Sense 2 example: "it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled." That shows a conditional situation. "In both cases" here is not conditional; it's saying "for both of these two things, the percentage is the same as last year." So it's more like "instances" or "occurrences"? I'd lean toward sense 2 because "in that event" or "in which case" often refer to circumstances. However, WordNet also has sense 4: "the actual state of things" – "that was not the case" meaning "that was not true". That is used for stating facts. "In both cases" can mean "in both situations". But the context is about two specific survey items. So sense 2 (special set of circumstances) is very appropriate. Sense 1 is also possible but slightly more for event occurrences. I think sense 2 is more commonly used in such phrases: "in both cases" meaning "in both instances/situations". Let's see the exact gloss: sense_key=case%1:26:00:: definition=a special set of circumstances, synonyms=event, examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled. This fits because the "cases" are the two survey contexts: confidence in Congress and confidence in government. They are sets of circumstances (the situation of asking about confidence in Congress vs. government). The phrase "the same as last year in both cases" means the figures were the same in both situations.

I will select sense 2.

But let's double-check: sense 1 example: "another instance occurred yesterday" – that is like a specific occurrence. Sense 2 example: "it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled" – that is a conditional, but also a set of circumstances. "Special set of circumstances" is more abstract. Here, "both cases" refers to both of those survey items, which are specific circumstances or situations. I think sense 2 is best. Sense 4 is "that was not the case" meaning "that was not true" – but "in both cases" is not about truth value; it's about the two numbers being the same. So sense 2 is better.

Therefore, the answer is sense_index 2.

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

2. woefulness (intense mournfulness)

The context: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy." So "economic woes" refers to economic problems or difficulties, which cause suffering. This is about misery resulting from affliction, not intense mournfulness. Mournfulness is more about sorrow or grief, while economic woes are troubles or hardships. Thus, sense 1 fits best.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "support" in the context: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy." The text discusses public opinion: support for democracy as measured by surveys. It says "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40%...", "support for democracy" meaning the level of public approval or backing. So the sense is about aiding the cause or policy, like public backing. Look at the candidates:

1. activity of providing for maintaining by money/necessities (like financial support) - not public opinion.
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of - example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this matches: public support for democracy.
3. something providing immaterial assistance - example: "the policy found little public support" - also similar, but sense 2 is the act or state of supporting, sense 3 is the thing that provides support. In context, "support for democracy" is the abstract backing, so either 2 or 3 could work. But the word "support" in the phrase "support for democracy" is often used as a mass noun indicating the act of supporting. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (an activity or act), while sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance" (the thing itself). In "undermined support for democracy", it's the level of support that is undermined, meaning the collective backing. Both are close, but sense 2 is more directly the act of supporting. Let's check examples: Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" (support as backing). Sense 3: "the policy found little public support" (again backing). But the gloss for sense 3 says "something providing ... assistance", so it frames support as an entity, while sense 2 frames it as an action or state. In typical usage, "support for X" is often sense 2 (the act of supporting). The example in sense 2 itself contains "the support of his own party", which is similar. Sense 3 might be more like "his faith was all the support he needed", where support is a thing that provides comfort. Here, "support for democracy" is the abstract concept of people's favorable attitude and voting, so it's the activity or disposition of supporting. I think sense 2 is more direct. Also, the WordNet sense 2 is a hyponym of "aid, assist, assistance, help" (the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose). Sense 3 is a hyponym of "influence" (a cognitive factor that tends to have an effect on what you do). Both possible, but the context of public opinion polls measuring support suggests the act of supporting. Often in such contexts, "support" is used as a noun meaning approval, backing. Many dictionaries list that as a sense. WordNet sense 2 definition "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" fits perfectly. So I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "country" in its surface form "countries" in the text: "... many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery." The target is "countries" which is plural of "country". The context mentions "Latin American countries" as a set of nations that suffered a recession and have recovered. The surrounding text talks about Mexico, Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, and then about "respondents across the region" and "how their country's democracy works". So it's clearly about nation-states, not rural areas or geographic regions in a vague sense.

Let's examine the candidate senses:
1. sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation, land, etc.). Examples: "the state has elected a new president; African nations". This is the primary sense of country as a sovereign state.
2. sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation (state, land). Examples: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries". This is often used interchangeably with sense 1 but focuses on the geographic territory rather than the political entity.
3. sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land). Examples: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation". This refers to the populace.
4. sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns (rural area). Examples: "his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country". This is the rural countryside sense, clearly not applicable here.
5. sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area). Examples: "it was a mountainous area; Bible country". This is a vague region, not a nation-state.

The context says "Latin American countries" in the context of economic recovery, democracy, and social safety nets. This is clearly referring to nation-states. Should we pick sense 1 or sense 2? The phrase "Latin American countries" often means the nations as political entities. However, in the sentence "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery", it's about the economic performance of those nations. That can be both the political entity and the territory. But when we say "country's democracy", "country's Congress", it's the political entity. In the target sentence, it's "many Latin American countries" as the subjects that suffered recession. Typically, we refer to the nation-state as a whole, including its economy, which is an attribute of the political entity (sense 1) or the territory (sense 2). In WordNet, sense 1 is the most common and general for "country" as a state. Sense 2 is a specific nuance focusing on territory, but often in such contexts, "country" means the nation, the state. The examples given: "he visited several European countries" could be sense 2 (territory), but also frequently overlaps. The gloss for sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". That's exactly what we mean by "countries" here. Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" is also plausible, but the focus is on the nation. Both are very close. However, the WordNet sense index typically assigns the most frequent sense as 1, and the context suggests the political entity sense. Also, the phrase "their country's democracy" in the surrounding text points to sense 1 (the political body). I think sense 1 is the best fit.

But we must be careful: the target is "countries" in the phrase "Latin American countries". Could it be sense 2 because they are talking about the territory that suffered recession? Recession affects the economy of the country, which is tied to the political entity. I'd lean towards sense 1.

Let's check if there's any hint of sense 3: "the people who live in a nation". In "countries suffered ... recession", it's the country as an entity, not just the people. The people are implied, but the subject is the country as a whole. So not sense 3.

Sense 4 is rural area, not applicable.

Sense 5 is a special purpose region, no.

Thus, I pick sense 1.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "recession" in the given context. We need to select the best indexed sense from the provided list.

Let's analyze the context: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief <t>recession</t> and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor."

The target word appears in the phrase "brief recession" and is linked to economic context: "economic woes", "world financial crisis", "recovery". Clearly, it refers to an economic downturn.

Now, let's review the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=recession%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of the economy declines; a widespread decline in the GDP and employment and trade lasting from six months to a year

This is the economic sense of recession. It fits perfectly.

2. a small concavity (like a recess, niche, corner) – not economic.

3. withdrawal of clergy and choir – religious sense.

4. act of ceding back – not economic.

5. act of becoming more distant – general.

Clearly, sense 1 is the correct one.

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

We are asked to disambiguate the word "recovery" in the given context. The context is about Latin America's economy and democracy. The specific sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery." The word "recovery" here refers to an economic recovery after a recession. Let's check the candidate senses:

Sense 1: "return to an original state" with example "the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid". This is about returning to a previous state, which could apply to the economy returning to its pre-recession state.

Sense 2: "gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury", synonyms convalescence, recuperation. This is about health recovery, not economic.

Sense 3: "the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)", synonyms retrieval. This is about regaining something lost, like lost data or lost money, but not typically used for economic recovery from recession.

In the context, "strong recovery" after a brief recession clearly means the economy returning to a better state, a rebound. That aligns most with sense 1: return to an original state. While economic recovery might involve regaining lost output, the gloss "return to an original state" is more straightforward for a recession recovery. Sense 3 is more about retrieval of a specific lost thing, not a general state. Sense 2 is clearly not economic.

Thus, sense 1 is the best match.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the lemma "week" in the given context. The target surface form is "week". The context is: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion...". So the phrase is "this week". We need to choose the best indexed sense among three:

1. Any period of seven consecutive days. Synonym: hebdomad. Example: it rained for a week.
2. Hours or days of work in a calendar week. Synonym: workweek. Example: they worked a 40-hour week.
3. A period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday. Synonym: calendar week.

In the context, "this week" refers to the current week in which the report was released. Typically, when we say "this week" in news reporting, it means the current seven-day period, usually starting from Sunday or Monday, but it's not specifically about work hours. Sense 1 is very general: any period of seven consecutive days. Sense 3 is a specific calendar week starting on Sunday. In news contexts, "this week" often means the current calendar week, but the definition of sense 3 specifies "starting on Sunday". However, the WordNet sense 3 is exactly "calendar week", defined as a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday. In ordinary usage, "this week" doesn't necessarily imply the week starts on Sunday; it could be Monday. But WordNet index 3 is "calendar week", which is the usual concept of a week on the calendar. Sense 1 is broader: any seven-day period, not necessarily aligned with the calendar. Given the context, "reported this week" means during the current calendar week, so it aligns with the calendar week. Sense 2 is about workweek, clearly not applicable. So between 1 and 3, the more precise fit is 3 because it refers to the standard calendar week. Sense 1 could also be used, but "this week" in news typically implies the current calendar week. WordNet glosses are schematic, and sense 3 explicitly says "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday", which is the calendar week. The example for sense 1 is "it rained for a week" (any seven days), while for sense 3 there is no example. So I think sense 3 is the best. Note: Sometimes WordNet senses may have nuance; "calendar week" is a specific concept. The phrase "this week" is standard for the current calendar week. So the answer is index 3.

Make sure to return only JSON like {"sense_index": 3}.

Context:
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 are given the target word "proportion" and its context. We have to choose the best sense among five options. The sentence: "(The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%.)" Here "proportion" is used to describe a percentage: the share of Latin Americans living in poverty. It's a numerical fraction, a part relative to the whole population. So the correct sense is likely sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole." That is exactly what a proportion in this context means: the fraction or percentage.

Let's check the others:

Sense 2: magnitude or extent (e.g., a building of vast proportions). Not about fraction.

Sense 3: balance among parts, symmetry. Not applicable, no mention of design or balance.

Sense 4: relation between things with respect to comparative quantity, ratio. This is similar to sense 1, but sense 1 is specifically the quotient (part/whole). Sense 4 example: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" which also refers to a share, but it's more general relation. The distinction: sense 1 is noun.quantity, sense 4 is noun.relation. In the context, "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" means the fraction (percentage) of the total population that is in poverty. That's exactly part/whole quotient. So sense 1 is best. Sense 4 might be considered, but the gloss "quotient" in sense 1 fits better with a reported percentage like 32%.

Sense 5: harmonious arrangement, design, balance. Not relevant.

Thus, sense_index: 1.

We are given a target lemma "year" and its surface form "year" in the context. The context is a sentence: "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this <t>year</t>, to 32%." So we need to disambiguate "year" in this sentence. The candidate senses are:

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

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

In the context, "this year" refers to the current calendar year, likely 2010 or something similar (the article mentions 2009 and then "this year"). It's a standard calendar year. Sense 1 is the most general sense: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" and examples include "in the year 1920", which is very similar to "this year" meaning the current calendar year. Sense 2 is for a school year or something like that, not applicable. Sense 3 is astronomical, about planetary revolution, not applicable. Sense 4 is about a graduating class, not applicable. So sense 1 is the best match.

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

We are given the target lemma "mood" and its context. The context discusses public confidence in government, economic conditions, and how the "mood" varies from country to country. Specifically: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance ... is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress." This refers to a general feeling or attitude among the population. We need to choose the best sense from three provided.

Candidate sense 1: "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" with synonyms "temper, humor, humour" and examples like "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time; he was in a bad humor". This seems more about an individual's emotional state.

Candidate sense 2: "the prevailing psychological state" with synonyms "climate" and examples "the climate of opinion; the national mood had changed radically since the last election". This refers to a collective mood, like the mood of a nation or group. The context says "the mood varies widely from country to country" and talks about national mood. That fits perfectly.

Candidate sense 3: "verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker" (grammatical mood). That doesn't fit at all.

Thus, sense 2 is the correct one. We return JSON with sense_index: 2.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "country" in the given context. The target appears in: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)."

We need to choose among the five senses provided.

Let's analyze the context. The passage discusses Latin American countries, their economic conditions, and public confidence. The phrase "from country to country" clearly refers to different nations. So "country" here means a nation-state with defined territory and government. Looking at the senses:

1. sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation, land, etc.). Example: "the state has elected a new president; African nations." This fits, as it emphasizes the political entity.
2. sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation. Example: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries." This fits as well, as it refers to the geographical territory of a nation.
3. sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country. Example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation." This focuses on the population, not the entity itself. The context says "from country to country" and the preceding text compares countries' economic performance and public confidence, but the phrase "from country to country" primarily refers to the different nation-states, not just the people.
4. sense 4: rural area. Clearly not.
5. sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary. Not specific enough; here it's clearly nation-states.

Between senses 1 and 2, we need to decide which is more appropriate. "From country to country" often implies comparing different countries as political entities or territories. In the context, they are discussing Brazil as a country (its economic performance, its president). The mood varies across countries as political units. Often, "country" in such phrases can be interpreted either as the state or the territory. However, WordNet distinguishes: sense 1 is the political body, while sense 2 is the territory. In typical usage, when we say "Brazil is a country" we refer to both, but the primary sense might be the political entity. The examples for sense 2: "he visited several European countries" uses "countries" to mean territorial entities. That is similar: "from country to country" might mean from one territory/nation to another. But note that in the passage, they talk about "their country's Congress" earlier, which uses sense 1 (political organization). The phrase "from country to country" could be ambiguous. Let's see which sense is more common in such collocations. In WordNet, sense 1 is often the most frequent sense. The target lemma is "country", and the context is about nations. I think both 1 and 2 are plausible, but the distinction is subtle. Sense 1 emphasizes the political entity ("a politically organized body of people..."), sense 2 emphasizes the territory. In "mood varies from country to country," mood likely refers to the sentiment of the people in each country, so perhaps sense 3? But the phrase itself treats "country" as a unit. If it said "the mood of the country," it could be sense 3 (the people). However, "from country to country" is a set phrase that refers to different nation-states. The chart likely shows data for each country, so it's the country as a whole, which includes territory and people, but the primary concept is the nation. Given that the earlier sentence says "Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession," that uses "countries" as political/territorial entities. I'd lean towards sense 1 as the most prototypical sense of country meaning a nation-state. But check the examples: sense 1 has "African nations" as a similar usage. Sense 2 has "several European countries" which is territorial. The context of "from country to country" usually implies geopolitical entities. I think sense 1 is more standard for the general concept of a country as a state. Also, many disambiguation systems would assign sense 1. Since we must choose one, I'll go with sense 1.

Thus: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to disambiguate the word "country" in the phrase "from country to country" in the provided context. The target is at the end: "But the mood varies widely from country to <t>country</t>". We need to pick the best indexed sense from the given options.

Let's analyze the context: The paragraph discusses confidence in Congress and government in Latin American countries, economic woes, recovery, social safety net, and poverty rates. Then it says: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance ... is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress." So here, "country" refers to different nations or states. The phrase "from country to country" means from one nation to another. The sense likely involves the political entity or territory of a nation.

Now, examine the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation, land, etc.). Example: "the state has elected a new president". This focuses on the political body.

2. sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation (state, land). Example: "he visited several European countries". This focuses on the territory.

3. sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land). Example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood". This focuses on the population.

4. sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns (rural area). Obviously not.

5. sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area). Example: "Bible country". This is a region distinguished by culture or geography, not always a defined nation. Not applicable.

In the phrase "from country to country", it is comparing moods across different nations. It could be interpreted in multiple ways. However, the context mentions "Latin American countries" earlier, clearly referring to sovereign states. The mood varies from one country to another, meaning from one nation-state to another. When we say "country to country", we often mean the nation as a whole, perhaps encompassing both the territory and the people, but the most straightforward sense is the territory/political entity.

Sense 1 is "politically organized body of people under a single government" — that's the state as a political entity. Sense 2 is the territory occupied by a nation. In common usage, "country" in "from country to country" often refers to the nation state. Both senses 1 and 2 are plausible. But we need to choose the single best. Sometimes WordNet distinguishes senses based on emphasis: sense 1 emphasizes the people and government as an organized body; sense 2 emphasizes the geographical area. In the context, "country" likely refers to the individual Latin American nations as political entities with their own governments and territories. The examples for sense 2: "he visited several European countries" — that's about visiting the territory. For sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" — about political body. Here, "mood varies from country to country" could be interpreted as the mood of the people (sense 3) but note that sense 3 is "the people". Actually, "the nation's mood" is literally sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" is an example for sense 3. So if we say "the mood varies from country to country", it is the mood of the people, so it could be sense 3: the people who live in a nation. The example for sense 3 is exactly "a statement that sums up the nation's mood". So "mood varies from country to country" is analogous to "the nation's mood". Therefore, sense 3 might be the best match because it directly refers to the collective people and their mood.

Let's check: In the context, it says "the mood varies widely from country to country". Mood is an attribute of people, so "country" here metonymically stands for the people of that country. Sense 3 explicitly defines it as "the people who live in a nation or country". So in "country to country", we are talking about the people's mood in each country. That aligns perfectly with sense 3.

Sense 1 is about the political body, which might have a mood but indirectly. Sense 2 is the territory, which doesn't have a mood. The phrase "mood varies" is about people. So I'll go with sense 3.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 3.

1. sense_key=brazil%1:15:00:: | definition=the largest Latin American country...; synonyms=Federative Republic of Brazil, Brasil
2. sense_key=brazil%1:13:00:: | definition=three-sided tropical American nut...; synonyms=brazil nut

Clearly sense 1 is the country, sense 2 is the nut. The context is about the country. So the best indexed sense is 1. The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.
