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

Sentence: The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their <t>state</t> shackles.

Senses:
1. definition=the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation | examples=his state is in the deep south
2. definition=the way something is with respect to its main attributes | examples=the current state of knowledge
3. definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state | examples=the state has lowered its income tax
4. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
5. definition=(chemistry) the three traditional states of matter are solids (fixed shape and volume) and liquids (fixed volume and shaped by the container) and gases (filling the container) | examples=the solid state of water is called ice
6. definition=a state of depression or agitation | examples=he was in such a state you just couldn't reason with him
7. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
8. definition=the federal department in the United States that sets and maintains foreign policies | examples=the Department of State was created in 1789

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which numbered sense of "state" matches the usage in: "The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles."

The senses provided:
1. territory of an administrative district of a nation
2. the way something is with respect to its main attributes (current state of knowledge)
3. the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state (state lowered tax)
4. a politically organized body of people under a single government (state has elected)
5. chemistry states of matter
6. a state of depression or agitation
7. territory occupied by a nation
8. US Department of State

Now, "state shackles" refers to shackles (restraints) from the state. In context: "US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles." This likely means government regulations, ownership, or control by the state (government). So "state" here means the government, which aligns with sense 3 or 4? Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" (the state has lowered its income tax). Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (the state has elected a new president). However, "state shackles" typically means restrictions imposed by the government, so the "state" as government entity. In many contexts, "the state" can refer to the government, particularly when talking about regulations, control, etc. That's often sense 4 or 3. Sense 3 specifies "the group of people comprising the government", while sense 4 is the entire political body. "State shackles" is a phrase that implies government-imposed restrictions. I'd lean towards sense 3 because it's about the government as an actor (lowering taxes, imposing restrictions). But let's check: "the state has lowered its income tax" is example for 3. "The state has elected a new president" for 4. "State shackles" = shackles imposed by the state (government). It's more like the government (the governing authority) rather than the whole political entity with territory. Often "state" in "state control" refers to the government. I'll go with 3.

Sentence: "The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state <t>shackles</t>."

Senses:
1. definition=a restraint that confines or restricts freedom (especially something used to tie down or restrain a prisoner)
2. definition=a U-shaped bar; the open end can be passed through chain links and closed with a bar

We need to determine which sense applies here. The word is "shackles" (but they wrote "shackles"? Probably a typo for "shackles"? The sentence says "shackles" with <t> tags. The given senses are for "shackle". The sentence is metaphorical: "breaking free from their state shackles" means they are freeing themselves from restraints imposed by the state. Sense 1 is a general restraint that confines or restricts freedom. Sense 2 is a specific hardware item (a U-shaped bar). The metaphorical use fits sense 1. So the answer is 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'support' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the <t>support</t> from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go."

We need to match the usage of "support" in this sentence to one of the 11 numbered senses.

The sentence says "repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion". This indicates that "support" here refers to financial assistance provided by the fund. TARP is the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a U.S. government program that provided funds to banks during the financial crisis. So "support" means financial resources provided to make some project possible. Let's check the senses:

1. activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities. His support kept the family together. (This is the act of providing, but the sentence says "repaid the support", using "support" as a noun meaning the money that was provided.)
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of. (political support)
3. something providing immaterial assistance. (immaterial, like public support)
4. military operation.
5. documentary validation.
6. financial means whereby one lives (keep). "each child was expected to pay for their keep" – This is like "support" meaning maintenance, but often used for living expenses.
7. supporting structure.
8. act of bearing weight.
9. musical part.
10. device that bears weight.
11. financial resources provided to make some project possible. "the foundation provided support for the experiment" – This matches perfectly: financial resources provided to make some project possible. Here, TARP provided support (financial resources) to the bank.

Thus sense 11 is the best match. Sense 1 is "the activity of providing...", while the sentence uses "support" as the thing provided, not the activity. Sense 6 is "the financial means whereby one lives", which is more about living expenses (keep). Sense 11 is specifically "financial resources provided to make some project possible", matching a bailout fund. So answer is 11.

We need to determine which sense of "bank" is used in the given sentence. The sentence 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 word "bank" appears in the phrase "bank protection fund TARP". Actually, the sentence says "the <t>bank</t> protection fund TARP". Wait, the prompt says: "Which numbered sense of 'bank' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense." The word bank is in <t>...</t> in the sentence? The prompt says "... from the <t>bank</t> protection fund TARP ..." So the word is "bank" as part of "bank protection fund". The context is a fund that protects banks, specifically mentioned as TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was a U.S. government program). "Bank protection fund" is a fund that protects banks, i.e., financial institutions. The word "bank" here refers to a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels money into lending activities. Let's look at the senses:

1. sloping land
2. a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities
3. a long ridge or pile
4. an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers
5. a supply or stock held in reserve for future use
6. the 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 in which the business of banking transacted
10. a flight maneuver...

The phrase is "bank protection fund". TARP was a government program to stabilize the financial system by having the Treasury purchase equity in banks. "Bank" here means a financial institution (sense 2). It's not a building (sense 9), though a building can be a bank, but "bank protection fund" refers to the institution, not the building. The fund protects banks (institutions). Sense 2 is "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities". This is the correct sense.

Thus, the answer is 2.

Sentence: "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank <t>protection</t> fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go."

The word is "protection" in the context of "bank protection fund." TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) was a U.S. government program to stabilize the financial system, essentially providing a safety net or defense against financial failure for banks. Let's look at the senses:

1. the activity of protecting someone or something
2. a covering that is intend to protect from damage or injury
3. defense against financial failure; financial independence (example: his pension gave him security in his old age)
4. the condition of being protected
5. kindly endorsement and guidance
6. the imposition of duties or quotas on imports...
7. payment extorted by gangsters...

The sentence says "bank protection fund TARP". TARP was a fund to protect banks from financial failure. So "defense against financial failure; financial independence" fits perfectly. That's sense 3.

Sentence: On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection <t>fund</t> TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go.

Senses:
1. definition=a reserve of money set aside for some purpose

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and asked which numbered sense of the word "fund" (marked with <t></t> in the sentence) is used. The senses are:

1. a reserve of money set aside for some purpose
2. a supply of something available for future use
3. a financial institution that sells shares to individuals and invests in securities issued by other companies

The sentence: "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection <t>fund</t> TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go."

TARP is the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a program of the US government to purchase toxic assets and equity from financial institutions following the 2008 financial crisis. It is a fund in the sense of a reserve of money set aside for a purpose (bank protection). It is not a supply of something available for future use generally (sense 2 is a store of cigars, etc.). It is not a financial institution that sells shares to individuals (sense 3 is a mutual fund). TARP was a government fund. So sense 1 is correct.

The answer should be just the number:

We are given a sentence with a word "amount" marked with <t> tags. The sentence: "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the <t>amount</t> USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go." We need to determine which of the numbered senses (1-4) is used.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum
2. definition=the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion | examples=an adequate amount of food for four people
3. definition=how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify
4. definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers

Let's analyze the sentence. The phrase is "in the amount USD 45 billion". Here "amount" refers specifically to a quantity of money (USD 45 billion). Sense 1 is "a quantity of money" with example "he borrowed a large sum". That fits perfectly. Sense 2 is about relative magnitude with a criterion (like "adequate amount of food"). Sense 3 is a very general definition of amount (how much there is of something quantifiable). Sense 4 is specifically a sum obtained by addition. The context is a specific amount of money, so sense 1 is the most precise and appropriate. Many dictionaries list the financial sense of "amount" as a sum of money. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

5. a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment
6. an essay (especially one written as an assignment)
7. the general estimation that the public has for a person

We need to identify which sense fits "reports from US broadcaster CNBC". This is a news context: "according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC" means news reports. Sense 3: "a short account of the news" fits perfectly. Sense 2 is "the act of informing by verbal report", but the example is "he heard reports that they were causing trouble", which is more about rumors or informal verbal accounts. However, "reports from US broadcaster CNBC" are news reports, so sense 3 is the most appropriate. Also sense 1 is a written document describing findings, but this is a news broadcaster's report, not necessarily a single written document; it's a short account of the news. So I'll go with 3.

Sentence: "And, according to reports from US <t>broadcaster</t> CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support."

Senses:
1. definition=someone who broadcasts on radio or television
2. definition=a mechanical device for scattering something (seed or fertilizer or sand etc.) in all directions

In the sentence, "<t>broadcaster</t>" refers to CNBC. CNBC is a television network (a news channel), so it is a broadcaster in the sense of an organization/entity that broadcasts on television. The word "broadcaster" can refer to an organization. Sense 1 says "someone who broadcasts on radio or television" – "someone" might imply a person, but often in dictionaries, "someone" is used loosely or the definition includes an organization. However, clearly CNBC is a broadcaster that broadcasts news. Sense 2 is about a mechanical device for scattering things, which is not the case.

Thus, sense 1 is correct.

The instruction: "Return only the number of the correct sense." So output "1".

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "state" is used in the sentence: "And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the <t>state</t> support."

We need to look at the definitions and examples to see which one fits the context.

The sentence is about Citigroup repaying "state support." "State support" here means financial support from the government. In the context of the US (or any country), "state" refers to the government. Specifically, this refers to the government providing support (like bailout funds) to a bank. So the relevant sense is the one about the government.

Let's check the definitions:
1. territory occupied by a constituent administrative district (e.g., a US state). Not this.
2. the way something is with respect to its main attributes. Not this.
3. the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state. Examples: "the state has lowered its income tax". This fits.
4. a politically organized body of people under a single government. Examples: "the state has elected a new president". This is about the nation as a whole, but "state" in "state support" usually means the government itself, not the entire body politic. However, both 3 and 4 are close. But note that "repay the state support" means repaying support given by the state (government). Sense 3 specifically says "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state". That is the most precise meaning for "state" as the government entity that gives support.
5. chemistry states of matter. No.
6. a state of depression or agitation. No.
7. territory of a nation. No.
8. the federal department in the US (Department of State). No. "State support" doesn't mean support from the Department of State; it means support from the government (the state).

Usually, in political/economical contexts, "the state" refers to the government. Sense 3 is explicitly "the group of people comprising the government". Sense 4 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" which is more like the country as an entity. "Repay the state support" implies paying back the government. So 3 is the best match.

Thus, the answer is 3.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'support' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state <t>support</t>."

We have 11 senses. We need to determine which one fits "state support" that Citigroup is repaying. Citigroup received financial assistance from the state (government) during a financial crisis (likely TARP). They are repaying that money. So "support" here refers to financial resources provided by the state.

Let's look at the senses:
1. the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities (his support kept the family together) - could fit, but "repay the support" suggests the support is a financial thing, not just the activity.
2. aiding the cause... - more about political support.
3. something providing immaterial assistance... - immaterial? No, it's financial.
4. military operation - no.
5. documentary validation - no.
6. the financial means whereby one lives - "each child was expected to pay for their keep" - this is like "keep", not a government bailout.
7. supporting structure - no.
8. act of bearing weight - no.
9. musical part - no.
10. device bearing weight - no.
11. financial resources provided to make some project possible - "the foundation provided support for the experiment" - this is closest to financial assistance from the state.

Sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" - Could be, but "repay the state support" implies repaying money, not repaying the activity. You repay financial support, i.e., the money. Sense 11 explicitly says "financial resources provided to make some project possible". Bailout is financial resources provided to make the company's survival possible. I think sense 11 is the best match. However, let's verify: is "state support" in the sense of financial resources? Yes. For example, government support (financial aid) is often called "support". In WordNet, "support" as financial aid is often a distinct sense. Let's check the wording: "financial resources provided to make some project possible". That fits perfectly. Repaying financial resources.

Thus, the answer is 11.

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

Sentence: The <t>institutions</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=an organization founded and united for a specific purpose
2. definition=an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated
3. definition=a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society | examples=the institution of marriage
4. definition=the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new | examples=she looked forward to her initiation as an adult
5. definition=a hospital for mentally incompetent or unbalanced person

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and multiple senses of the word "institution". We need to determine which numbered sense best matches the usage in the sentence. The word is "institutions". Let's examine the sentence:

"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."

We have the senses:
1. an organization founded and united for a specific purpose
2. an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated
3. a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society (example: institution of marriage)
4. the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new (example: initiation)
5. a hospital for mentally incompetent or unbalanced person

In the sentence, "institutions" are entities that "want to wiggle themselves free from restrictions", "acceptance of money", "limits on manager bonuses", "paying of high charges". These are characteristics of organizations, like financial institutions (banks, investment firms, etc.). The sentence talks about restrictions related to manager bonuses and paying high charges, which is typical corporate/financial context. Thus, "institutions" here refers to organizations. Sense 1 is the most appropriate: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose". Sense 2 focuses on the building itself, which is less likely. Sense 3 is about social customs. Sense 4 is about initiation. Sense 5 is about mental hospitals, which doesn't fit. Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'restriction' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the <t>restrictions</t> going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."

Senses:
1. definition=a principle that limits the extent of something | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements
2. definition=an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)
3. definition=the act of keeping something within specified bounds (by force if necessary) | examples=the restriction of the infection to a focal area

We need to determine which sense is used. The word "restrictions" in the sentence refers to "the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges" that come with accepting the money. These are principles or rules that limit what they can do. The sentence says "restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits...". So it's referring to specific rules or limitations (principles). Sense 1: "a principle that limits the extent of something" seems fitting. Sense 2 is "an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)" – that would refer to the action of imposing restrictions, not the restrictions themselves. Sense 3 emphasizes force and keeping within bounds, like cordoning off an area. The context clearly points to rules or limits (like bonus limits), so Sense 1.

Thus answer is 1.

Sentence: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the <t>acceptance</t> of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."

We need to choose among 7 senses. Let's analyze the sentence.

"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."

Here, "acceptance of the money" means receiving or taking the money (likely a bailout or some funds that come with conditions). The institutions want to avoid restrictions that come with accepting that money. So "acceptance" here refers to the act of taking something that is offered. That matches sense 7: "the act of taking something that is offered". Example: "her acceptance of the gift encouraged him". So acceptance of money is taking the money.

Check other senses:
1: mental attitude (belief) - no.
2: act of accepting with approval; favorable reception - could be, but more about adoption by society, etc. The sentence is about taking money with restrictions.
3: state of being acceptable - no.
4: contract law - possibly, but it's about accepting an offer in contract law, but here it's just acceptance of money, not necessarily formal contract law terms (though there might be conditions, it's about the act of taking).
5: banking time draft - no.
6: disposition to tolerate - no.
7: act of taking something that is offered - yes.

Thus number 7.

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

Sentence: 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.

Senses:
1. definition=the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender | examples=we tried to collect the money he owed us

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'money' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "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."

Senses:
1. the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender | examples=we tried to collect the money he owed us
2. wealth reckoned in terms of money | examples=all his money is in real estate
3. the official currency issued by a government or national bank | examples=he changed his money into francs

We need to choose the sense that fits the usage in the sentence. The sentence talks about "the acceptance of the money", with restrictions like limits on manager bonuses and paying of high charges. This sounds like it's talking about money in the context of funds or financial resources, perhaps bailout money or specific funds provided with conditions. The phrase "the money" suggests a specific sum of money or funds being accepted.

Sense 1 is the general medium of exchange.
Sense 2 is wealth reckoned in terms of money.
Sense 3 is official currency issued by a government.

In the context, "acceptance of the money" likely refers to accepting funds (e.g., bailout funds from a government program like TARP). Those funds are money, but they are a specific amount of money provided. The restrictions are attached to accepting that money. It's not about currency per se (sense 3), nor about wealth in general (sense 2). It's about accepting the money itself, the medium of exchange, as a specific sum given. So sense 1 seems most appropriate.

Let's double-check: "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender". "We tried to collect the money he owed us" - that's money as a sum owed. Here, "the acceptance of the money" means accepting the funds (the medium of exchange) that come with strings attached. Sense 2 is about wealth ("all his money is in real estate"), which is not a direct fit. Sense 3 is about official currency, like "he changed his money into francs", which is about currency exchange. Here, it's not about exchanging currencies. So sense 1 is the best fit.

We need to pick the sense that matches "limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges". Here, "limits" means restrictions or caps on amounts (like bonuses and charges). That aligns with sense 6: "the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed", with example "there are limits on the amount you can bet". So the answer is 6.

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

Sentence: 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 <t>manager</t> bonuses and the paying of high charges.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who controls resources and expenditures
2. definition=(sports) someone in charge of training an athlete or a team

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and senses for the word "manager". We need to determine which numbered sense is used in the sentence.

Sentence: "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 <t>manager</t> bonuses and the paying of high charges."

The word in question is "manager" in "manager bonuses". "manager bonuses" means bonuses given to managers. In this context, "managers" are people within financial institutions (banks, companies) who hold managerial positions. Their bonuses are being restricted. So it's referring to executives or managers in a business context.

Sense 1: "someone who controls resources and expenditures" – This fits business managers who control resources and budgets.

Sense 2: "(sports) someone in charge of training an athlete or a team" – This is sports-specific and does not fit the context of financial institutions and bonuses.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

We are given a sentence: "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 <t>bonuses</t> and the paying of high charges."

We need to determine which sense of "bonus" from the given list matches the usage in the sentence, enclosed in <t> tags.

Senses:
1. definition=anything that tends to arouse | examples=his approval was an added fillip
2. definition=an additional payment (or other remuneration) to employees as a means of increasing output

The word in context is "bonuses" (plural of bonus). The sentence refers to "limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges." This is talking about compensation for managers: extra payment beyond base salary, often tied to performance. That aligns with sense 2: an additional payment to employees as a means of increasing output. Sense 1 is more generic, like a fillip. The context is clearly about financial compensation restrictions. So answer is 2.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'charge' ... is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "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 <t>charges</t>."

Note the word is "charges" but it's likely a typo for "charges" -> "charges" is "charges"? Actually the text says "<t>charges</t>" but the context says "the paying of high charges". "Charges" is probably a misspelling of "charges"? Wait, the sentence has "<t>charges</t>". It might be a typo for "charges"? The word is "charges" in the sentence? The text says "charges". But it's clearly "charges" meaning fees? Let's check: "the paying of high charges." "Charges" could be a typo for "charges"? No, the word is "charges" but it's inside <t> tags, so the base word is "charge" and it's plural. The sentence says "the paying of high charges." So "charges" is plural of "charge". We need to find which sense of "charge" fits here.

Look at the senses:
3. definition=the price charged for some article or service | examples=the admission charge
8. definition=financial liabilities (such as a tax) | examples=the charges against the estate
11. definition=request for payment of a debt | examples=they submitted their charges at the end of each month

In the sentence: "paying of high charges." This refers to fees or costs associated with accepting money, like restrictions on manager bonuses and paying high charges (fees, costs). It could be sense 3: the price charged for some article or service. Or sense 8: financial liabilities (such as a tax). Or 11: request for payment of a debt. "Paying high charges" suggests paying a price or fee for services. Often "charges" in financial context means fees, which fits sense 3. "Limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges" - high charges likely means high fees (like banking fees, interest charges). It's not a tax specifically, and not a request for payment of a debt (that would be an invoice). The most straightforward is sense 3: the price charged for some article or service. Let's confirm: "admission charge" example, so price for a service. So number 3.

I'll answer: 3.

Sentence: "Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible <t>loans</t>."

Senses:
1. the temporary provision of money (usually at interest)
2. a word borrowed from another language; e.g. 'blitz' is a German word borrowed into modern English

We need to identify which sense of "loan" is used. The context is financial: Bank of America raised money through convertible loans. A convertible loan is a type of loan that can be converted into something else (like equity). This is clearly about money, not about words. So sense 1: "the temporary provision of money (usually at interest)" is correct.

Return only the number: 1.

We need to determine which sense of "amount" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "The rest of the <t>amount</t> was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units." The word "amount" is tagged with <t>. The senses are:

1. a quantity of money (example: he borrowed a large sum)
2. the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion (example: an adequate amount of food for four people)
3. how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify
4. a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers

In the sentence, "amount" refers to "the rest of the amount" which was taken from its own kitty (a fund or pool of money). The context mentions "kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units." That implies money. So the amount is a quantity of money. Sense 1 is "a quantity of money". That fits perfectly. Sense 2 is about relative magnitude, but the sentence doesn't compare to a criterion. Sense 3 is a general definition of amount as a quantifiable quantity, but sense 1 is more specific and the example with money. The sentence is about a financial context: kitty, sale of business units. So "amount" means a sum of money. Hence, sense 1. The answer should be

5. definition=an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred from the seller (vendor) to the buyer (vendee) for a fixed price in money (paid or agreed to be paid by the buyer) | examples=the salesman faxed the sales agreement to his home office

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which sense of "sale" is used in the given sentence, marked with <t> tags. We need to return only the number.

Sentence: "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the <t>sale</t> of business units."

Let's analyze the context: "well filled through the sale of business units". Here "sale" refers to the act of selling business units. The kitty (fund) was filled by selling business units. It is a particular instance or a general activity of selling? It says "the sale of business units", which could refer to the act of selling them. Since it's about a specific transaction (they sold business units to fill the kitty), it could be sense 1: "a particular instance of selling". It could also be sense 2: "the general activity of selling", but in context "the sale" with a specific object (business units) suggests a specific instance or act. Sense 5 refers to a contract/agreement, but here it's about the act that generated money. Sense 3 is about reduced prices. Sense 4 is about being purchasable ("for sale"). The most fitting is sense 1: a particular instance of selling. The examples: "he has just made his first sale". "the sale of business units" is an instance of selling them. Sense 2 is more about the general activity (boost sales, plural often). But "sale" singular can be used like sense 1. We'll go with sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: "Bank head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks to the American taxpayer on Wednesday evening: The cash injection helped over a very difficult time."

We need to identify the sense of "bank" as used here. "Bank head Kenneth Lewis" - Kenneth Lewis is presumably the head of a bank. The cash injection likely refers to a financial bailout. So "bank" here refers to a financial institution. Looking at the senses:

1. sloping land...
2. a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities | examples=he cashed a check at the bank
3. long ridge...
4. arrangement of similar objects...
5. supply or stock held in reserve...
6. funds held by a gambling house...
7. slope in the turn of a road...
8. container for keeping money at home...
9. a building in which the business of banking transacted...
10. flight maneuver...

Sense 2 is "a financial institution..." Sense 9 is "a building in which the business of banking transacted". "Bank head Kenneth Lewis" refers to the head of the institution, not the building. Although "bank" can mean the building, when we say "bank head" we mean the head of the financial institution. However, sense 9 is specifically the building. The institution sense is 2. So 2 is the correct sense.

We are given a sentence: "The <t>bank</t> overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch." We need to identify which numbered sense of "bank" is used. The senses are provided. We need to return only the number.

The sentence discusses a "bank" that overstretched during the financial crisis by taking over an investment bank. This clearly refers to a financial institution. Looking at the senses:
1: sloping land
2: a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels money into lending activities
3: a long ridge or pile
4: an arrangement of similar objects in a row
5: a supply or stock held in reserve
6: funds held by a gambling house
7: a slope in a turn of a road
8: a container for keeping money at home
9: a building in which the business of banking transacted
10: a flight maneuver

Sense 2 defines a financial institution. The sentence mentions "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch." The "bank" that took over is also a financial institution. Sense 9 is the building, but here it's the institution itself. So sense 2 is the correct one.

The example for sense 1 is "they went bankrupt during the economic crisis", which is very similar to a financial crisis. Sense 2 is more about a turning point, like a medical crisis. So sense 1 fits

Sentence: The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the <t>investment</t> bank Merrill Lynch.

1. definition=the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit
2. definition=money that is invested with an expectation of profit
3. definition=the commitment of something other than money (time, energy, or effort) to a project with the expectation of some worthwhile result | examples=this job calls for the investment of some hard thinking
4. definition=outer layer or covering of an organ or part or organism
5. definition=the act of putting on robes or vestments
6. definition=the ceremonial act of clothing someone in the insignia of an office; the formal promotion of a person to an office or rank

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "investment" (tagged with <t>) is used in the sentence: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the <t>investment</t> bank Merrill Lynch."

First, note that the word tagged is "investment" but the phrase is "investment bank". The word is being used as part of a compound noun "investment bank". We need to see which sense fits. Let's look at the senses provided. None of them explicitly define "investment bank". The senses are for "investment". In the context, "investment bank" is a type of bank that deals with investments, underwriting, etc. The word "investment" here modifies "bank". Which sense of "investment" is being used? Sense 1: "the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit". That's the foundational meaning: investment as the act. An investment bank is a bank that facilitates the act of investing (e.g., helping companies issue securities, trading, etc.). Alternatively, sense 2: "money that is invested". An investment bank doesn't just deal with money that is invested, but the whole process. Usually, "investment bank" derives from the act of investing. Considering the definition of investment bank: a bank that engages in investment activities. So the root sense is "the act of investing" or perhaps the broader financial sense. The most appropriate numbered sense is 1.

Let's verify: sentence says "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch." Merrill Lynch is an investment bank. The word "investment" in this context refers to the type of banking related to investing. The sense that defines "investing" as an act fits best. Sense 2 is "money that is invested" – an investment bank doesn't mean a bank made of invested money. Sense 3 is about time/effort, not financial. Senses 4,5,6 are unrelated (covering, robes, ceremonial). So sense 1 is the correct one.

Thus, answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment <t>bank</t> Merrill Lynch.

Senses:
1. definition=sloping land (especially the slope beside a body of water) | examples=they pulled the canoe up on the bank
2. definition=a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities | examples=he cashed a check at the bank
3. definition=a long ridge or pile | examples=a huge bank of earth
4. definition=an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers | examples=he operated a bank of switches
5. definition=a supply or stock held in reserve for future use (especially in emergencies)
6. definition=the funds held by a gambling house or the dealer in some gambling games | examples=he tried to break the bank at Monte Carlo
7. definition=a slope in the turn of a road or track; the outside is higher than the inside in order to reduce the effects of centrifugal force
8. definition=a container (usually with a slot in the top) for keeping money at home | examples=the coin bank was empty
9. definition=a building in which the business of banking transacted | examples=the bank is on the corner of Nassau and Witherspoon
10. definition=a flight maneuver; aircraft tips laterally about its longitudinal axis (especially in turning) | examples=the plane went into a steep bank

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'bank' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment <t>bank</t> Merrill Lynch."

Senses provided:
1. sloping land...
2. a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities...
3. a long ridge or pile...
4. an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers...
5. a supply or stock held in reserve...
6. the 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 in which the business of banking transacted...
10. a flight maneuver...

The word "bank" in the sentence is "investment bank". This clearly refers to a financial institution, specifically an investment bank, which is a type of financial institution. Sense 2 says "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities". While an investment bank might not primarily take deposits, it is still a financial institution involved in banking. However, note that sense 2 is the most general financial institution sense. Sense 9 is "a building in which the business of banking transacted". In the sentence, "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch", "bank" refers to the institution itself (the company), not the building. So sense 2 is appropriate. But let's check: The definition of sense 2 is "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities". That's a commercial bank definition, but "investment bank" is a specific type of financial institution. Still, it's the sense of a financial institution. Could there be a sense missing? The given list only has these 10. Sense 2 is the closest: "a financial institution..." Merrill Lynch is an investment bank, which is a financial institution that does things like underwriting, M&A, etc. Even though it says "accepts deposits and channels...", it's broadly the sense of a bank as a financial institution. The sentence also mentions "the bank overstretched... by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch". The first "bank" might be a different institution, but the tagged word is "bank" inside "investment bank". So the sense of "bank" in "investment bank" is a financial institution. Thus, sense 2.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'cash' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Citigroup also plans to raise <t>cash</t> on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state.

Senses:
1. definition=money in the form of bills or coins | examples=there is a desperate shortage of hard cash
2. definition=prompt payment for goods or services in currency or by check
3. definition=United States country music singer and songwriter (1932-2003)"

We need to pick the number. The word "cash" in the sentence is used in a financial context: "raise cash on the capital market". This refers to obtaining money, not necessarily physical bills and coins, but the general concept of liquid funds. Sense 1: "money in the form of bills or coins" is a bit narrow because raising cash on the capital market typically means raising money/funds, not necessarily physical currency. Sense 2: "prompt payment for goods or services in currency or by check" is about immediate payment, not raising funds. Sense 3 is a person. The most appropriate is sense 1, as it's the closest to "money". In financial contexts, "cash" often means liquid assets, but among these options, sense 1 is the only one that means money, even if it specifies bills or coins. Sometimes in such tasks, the broad meaning "money" is covered by sense 1. So I think the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its <t>liabilities</t> with the state.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'liability' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its <t>liabilities</t> with the state."

Senses:
1. definition=the state of being legally obliged and responsible
2. definition=an obligation to pay money to another party
3. definition=the quality of being something that holds you back

We need to choose the sense that fits the context. "Liabilities" here refers to financial obligations, debts to the state. The sentence says "free itself from its liabilities with the state." That means Citigroup wants to free itself from obligations to pay money to the state (probably debts or financial obligations). So sense 2 is "an obligation to pay money to another party". That fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about the state of being legally responsible, which is more abstract. Sense 3 is about something that holds you back, which could be metaphorical but here it's specifically financial. The context clearly indicates financial liabilities. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the <t>state</t>.

Sentence: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the <t>state</t>."

5. (chemistry) the three traditional states of matter...
6. a state of depression or agitation
7. the territory occupied by a nation
8. the federal department in the United States that sets and maintains foreign policies

In the sentence, "free itself from its liabilities with the state" - here "state" refers to the government or the sovereign entity that it has liabilities to. Citigroup is a bank. It likely has liabilities with the government (the state) due to bailouts or obligations. This matches sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" or sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". But which one fits better? Typically, "the state" in contexts of financial liabilities to a government refers to the government as an institution. Sense 3 explicitly says "the group of people comprising the government". Sense 4 is the whole political entity. But "liabilities with the state" could just mean the government (as a counterparty). Often, "the state" is used synonymously with the government. Let's check: Sense 3 example: "the state has lowered its income tax" - that's actions of the government. Sense 4 example: "the state has elected a new president" - that's the nation/country. Citigroup's liabilities would be to the government (like TARP, etc.). So sense 3 is appropriate.

I'll answer 3.

We need to choose from the given senses the one that matches the usage. The word is "bank" in "the US bank". The context mentions "capital increase of some USD 20 billion", "reported CNBC".

Sentence: Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a <t>capital</t> increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles.

We need to look at the senses:

1. assets available for use in the production of further assets
2. wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
3. a seat of government
4. uppercase letter
5. a center associated with some activity
6. federal government of the US
7. book by Karl Marx
8. part of a column (architecture)

The sentence mentions "capital increase". In finance and banking, "capital increase" means increasing the amount of capital (financial assets/money) a bank has. The meaning relates to sense 2: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a business... (sense 2 includes "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business"). Sense 1 is also related to economics: "assets available for use in the production of further assets". However, there is a subtle difference: "capital increase" in a bank usually refers to raising funds, i.e., wealth/money. Let's see: Sense 1 says "assets available for use in the production of further assets" which is a classic economics definition of capital goods. Sense 2 says "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value". For a bank announcing a capital increase, it means they are increasing their financial capital (equity, funds). This aligns with sense 2: wealth in the form of money owned by a business. The bank obtained $20 billion of capital. That is wealth in the form of money.

Therefore, sense 2 is the mostappropriate.

Sentence: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital <t>increase</t> of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles."

Senses:
1. a quantity that is added
2. a change resulting in an increase
3. a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important
4. the amount by which something increases
5. the act of increasing something

We need to determine which sense fits the phrase "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion".

In financial contexts, a "capital increase" refers to the act of increasing the capital (e.g., equity). The "of some USD 20 billion" specifies the amount. So "increase" here refers to the act of increasing capital, not the amount itself. The amount is the size of the increase, but the noun "increase" in this context is the event/act. Let's check senses.

Sense 5: "the act of increasing something" - example: "he gave me an increase in salary". That fits "a capital increase" as an act. But does the "of some USD 20 billion" specify the amount? Yes, phrases like "an increase of X dollars" can still be sense 5 because "increase" can be modified by the amount. Wait, let's look at sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" - example: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". That is specifically the amount. In our sentence, "announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion" - is "increase" the amount? One could interpret "a capital increase of USD 20 billion" as "an increase amounting to USD 20 billion", meaning the event/act with the amount specified. But the example for sense 4 is "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" which is very similar to "announce a capital increase of USD 20 billion". Often in dictionaries, a phrase like "an increase of X" is given as an example of the amount sense. Let's see: sense 4 is "the amount by which something increases". In finance, "capital increase" is an event, but the phrase "an increase of" often points to the amount. However, "capital increase" is a specific term meaning the act of increasing capital. But the sentence is "announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion". The "of some USD 20 billion" specifies the size of the increase. So is the word "increase" referring to the act (and the amount is a modifier) or the amount itself? If I say "The company announced a dividend increase of 20%", "increase" is the act. But many dictionaries might classify that as the amount. Let's check the exact phrasing. "announced a capital increase of some USD 20 billion" – I can substitute: "announced a capital increase" means they announced they are increasing capital. "of USD 20 billion" tells how much. Typically, if "increase" is followed by "of [amount]", it's often sense 4: the amount by which something increases. But let's check the examples: "the increase is scheduled for next month" is sense 2? Wait sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase" example "the increase is scheduled for next month". That implies an event, like a scheduled rise. Sense 5: "the act of increasing something". Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". That matches perfectly: "announced a capital increase of some USD 20 billion". The focus is on the amount: USD 20 billion. So I think sense 4 is the intended one.

But let's double-check. Could it be sense 5? "He gave me an increase in salary" – "increase" there is the act/raise. The amount could be specified as "an increase of $5000". In some dictionaries, "an increase in salary" is sense 5, and "an increase of $5000" is sense 4. The example for 4 is exactly "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". This matches "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion". So sense 4.

Thus, the answer is 4.

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

Sentence: Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to <t>circles</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=ellipse in which the two axes are of equal length; a plane curve generated by one point moving at a constant distance from a fixed point | examples=he calculated the circumference of the circle
2. definition=an unofficial association of people or groups | examples=the smart set goes there
3. definition=something approximating the shape of a circle | examples=the chairs were arranged in a circle
4. definition=movement once around a course | examples=he drove an extra lap just for insurance
5. definition=a road junction at which traffic streams circularly around a central island | examples=the accident blocked all traffic at the rotary
6. definition=street names for flunitrazepan
7. definition=a curved section or tier of seats in a hall or theater or opera house; usually the first tier above the orchestra | examples=they had excellent seats in the dress circle
8. definition=any circular or rotating mechanism | examples=the machine punched out metal circles

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "circle" is used in the sentence: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles."

The word is in the phrase "with reference to circles". This means CNBC reported this information citing sources, which are often described as "circles" meaning groups of people (like "banking circles", "financial circles").

Looking at the senses:
1. geometric shape
2. an unofficial association of people or groups (example: "the smart set goes there")
3. something approximating the shape of a circle
4. movement once around a course
5. a road junction (roundabout)
6. street names for flunitrazepan
7. a curved section or tier of seats
8. any circular or rotating mechanism

Sense 2 fits: "an unofficial association of people or groups". "Circles" here implies sources or groups of people familiar with the matter, like "informed circles". So the number is 2.

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

Sentence: Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their <t>support</t> in June.

1. definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together
2. definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'support' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their <t>support</t> in June."

The word is "support". The sentence says they "repaid their support". This suggests that "support" here refers to some financial assistance or money that was given to them, which they then repaid. So it's financial support, probably a loan or bailout money. Let's check the senses:

1. the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of
3. something providing immaterial assistance...
4. military operation...
5. documentary validation...
6. the financial means whereby one lives
7. supporting structure...
8. the act of bearing weight...
9. musical part...
10. any device that bears weight...
11. financial resources provided to make some project possible

In the context of banks repaying "support", it's likely referring to financial support they received (e.g., TARP funds) and then repaid. "Support" here is the money they got. Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" fits well. Sense 1 is "the activity of providing...", but they repaid the support itself, so it's the thing (the resources), not the activity. Sense 11 is a noun meaning the financial resources. Sense 6 is "the financial means whereby one lives", like "keep", but that's more for living expenses. Sense 11 is more general: "financial resources provided to make some project possible". The bailout money is financial resources provided to make the bank's survival possible. So 11 seems most precise.

Check: Sense 11 definition: financial resources provided to make some project possible. Examples: "the foundation provided support for the experiment." That matches the idea of a bailout. Sense 1 is "the activity of providing...", but "repaid their support" implies the support is the money itself, not the activity. One could say "repaid the support" meaning the money that was given as support. So 11 is correct.

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

Sentence: Cheshire <t>Appeal</t> Will Point to Twitter

Senses:
1. definition=earnest or urgent request | examples=an entreaty to stop the fighting
2. definition=attractiveness that interests or pleases or stimulates | examples=his smile was part of his appeal to her
3. definition=(law) a legal proceeding in which the appellant resorts to a higher court for the purpose of obtaining a review of a lower court decision and a reversal of the lower court's judgment or the granting of a new trial | examples=their appeal was denied in the superior court
4. definition=request for a sum of money | examples=an appeal to raise money for starving children

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Cheshire <t>Appeal</t> Will Point to Twitter". The word "Appeal" is tagged with `<t></t>`. We need to determine which numbered sense applies.

First, notice the capitalization: "Cheshire Appeal". This might be a proper noun, perhaps the name of a legal case or a newspaper. "Cheshire" could be a location (like Cheshire, England). "Appeal" capitalized might refer to a legal appeal, as in a court case. "Will Point to Twitter" suggests that the appeal will point to Twitter, maybe meaning the appeal will reference Twitter or indicate Twitter as a factor.

Consider the senses:
1. earnest or urgent request
2. attractiveness
3. (law) a legal proceeding in which the appellant resorts to a higher court...
4. request for a sum of money

Given "Cheshire Appeal", it's likely a legal case name, like "Cheshire v. something" or "Cheshire's appeal". "Appeal" in a legal context is sense 3. Capitalization often denotes a legal case. "Will Point to Twitter" could mean that the appeal will use Twitter as evidence or point to Twitter in some way. Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.
