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

Sentence: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's <t>poll</t>, taken in September and early October."

Senses:
1. definition=an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people
2. definition=the top of the head
3. definition=the part of the head between the ears
4. definition=a tame parrot
5. definition=the counting of votes (as in an election)

We need to choose the correct sense. The context is "this year's poll, taken in September and early October". It talks about results of a poll, which is an inquiry into public opinion (or maybe counting votes in an election, but "taken in September and early October" suggests an opinion poll, not the counting of votes in an election, which is usually on election day. Also "this year's poll" could be a recurring opinion poll). Sense 1 fits: "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people". Sense 5 is "the counting of votes (as in an election)". But "poll" in the context of "results of this year's poll" without specific election context usually means opinion poll. However, sometimes "poll" can mean the voting process itself. But "taken in September and early October" suggests a survey, not an election count. So sense 1 is most appropriate.

Thus, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny <t>mood</t>."

Senses:
1. definition=a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling | examples=whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time
2. definition=the prevailing psychological state | examples=the climate of opinion
3. definition=verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker

We need to pick the correct sense number. The phrase "fairly sunny mood" refers to a prevailing psychological state, a generally optimistic or positive atmosphere. Sense 2: "the prevailing psychological state" fits well. Sense 1 is about a characteristic state of feeling, but "sunny mood" here likely refers to the general mood of Latin America, not just an individual's characteristic feeling. The example "climate of opinion" matches "sunny mood" as a prevailing state. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The <t>second</t> is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions.

Senses:
1. definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude
2. definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "The <t>second</t> is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

We need to determine which numbered sense of "second" applies. The senses provided are:
1. definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude
2. definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute

In the sentence, "The second" is used as a noun phrase, likely referring to a previously mentioned item in a list or sequence. It means "the second thing" or "the second one." This corresponds to sense 1: "coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude." Sense 2 is about music (second part, second voice, second instrument). There's no musical context here. So the correct sense is 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "The second is the increasing <t>stability</t> of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

Senses:
1. definition=the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast
2. definition=a stable order (especially of society)
3. definition=the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation | examples=early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds

We need to select which sense fits best. The sentence talks about "increasing stability of attitudes". Attitudes becoming more stable, meaning they are less likely to change, enduring, free from variation. That aligns with sense 3: "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation". Sense 1 is "firm and steadfast" which is similar, but sense 3 explicitly mentions "free from change or variation", which fits "stability of attitudes" meaning attitudes are not fluctuating. Sense 2 is about a stable order in society, not about attitudes. So the correct sense is 3.

Thus, answer: 3.

reasoning_content:
We need to find which sense of "attitude" is used in the sentence: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

The word is marked with <t> tags: "attitudes". So we need to match it with one of the numbered senses.

Senses:
1. a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Example: "he had the attitude that work was fun"
2. the arrangement of the body and its limbs. Example: "he assumed an attitude of surrender"
3. a theatrical pose created for effect. Example: "the actor struck just the right attitude"
4. position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference (the horizon or direction of motion)

Sentence: "increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions" – here "attitudes" refers to people's mental states, beliefs, and feelings about democracy and institutions. That matches sense 1: a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act. So the answer is 1.

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 second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core <t>institutions</t>.

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 need to identify which sense of "institution" is used in the sentence: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

The key phrase: "democracy and its core institutions". Democracy is a system of government, and its core institutions would be organizations/structures like legislatures, courts, elections, etc. That aligns with sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose". So sense 1.

The other senses: 2 (building), 3 (custom like marriage), 4 (act of starting something), 5 (mental hospital). None fit.

Thus answer is 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Support</t> for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1).

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together

reasoning_content:
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: <t>Support</t> for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)."

Senses given:
1. the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples: the president no longer has the support of his own party
3. something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples: the policy found little public support
4. a military operation ...
5. documentary validation ...
6. the financial means whereby one lives ...
7. supporting structure that holds up ...
8. the act of bearing the weight ...
9. a musical part ...
10. any device that bears the weight ...
11. financial resources provided to make some project possible ...

The sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..." This refers to approval, endorsement, or backing of democracy. It is an immaterial assistance or approval. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". The example for 3: "the policy found little public support" is very similar to "support for democracy". For 2, example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" is also similar. However, sense 3 specifically says "something providing immaterial assistance...", and "public support" is exactly that. Sense 2 defines "aiding the cause or policy or interests of", which is more the act of aiding, but the noun "support" in "support for democracy" is the state or feeling of backing. Let's distinguish: "his support kept the family together" (sense 1) is financial. Sense 2: "aiding the cause..." could work, but the example is "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - that is the backing. Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance..." with example "the policy found little public support". Both senses 2 and 3 seem very close. Often in WordNet, "support" as in public approval is a specific sense. Let's see: In WordNet, sense 2: "the act of supporting; aid, assistance" vs sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance..." wait, the definitions given:
2. definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party
3. definition=something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples=the policy found little public support

The phrase "Support for democracy" is a noun phrase. It refers to the collective approval or backing (immaterial assistance) for democracy. It is "something providing immaterial assistance" (sense 3) or the act (sense 2)? The example for 3 is "the policy found little public support" - this matches exactly the meaning of "support" in "Support for democracy has risen". The support here is the public support. Sense 2 example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" is also similar, but that's the support (backing) from his party. I need to figure out which numbered sense matches the specific definition given. It's likely sense 3, because the definition is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest", which is exactly the "support" as public sentiment. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause...", more like the act of aiding. The WordNet senses often differentiate between the act (action) and the thing (feeling/approval). In WordNet, "support" as in "public support" is usually sense 4 or something, but here we have the exact definitions. Let's parse:

Sense 2: aiding the cause or policy or interests of - this is an action. "the president no longer has the support of his own party" -> the party's support is their active aiding? Or could be the state of supporting. Sense 3: something providing immaterial assistance... - this is a thing (e.g., public opinion). In "Support for democracy has risen", "support" is the feeling of approval, which is immaterial assistance. I'd go with sense 3. Let's double-check: "the policy found little public support" is an example of 3. "Support for democracy" is synonymous with "public support for democracy". So it's likely 3.

Thus, answer is 3.

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

Sentence: Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1).

Senses:
1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country

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

Sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)."

We have five senses:

1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

Now, analyze the sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America." Here, "countries" refers to nations like Chile, Peru, Ecuador, etc. These are politically organized bodies of people under a single government (sense 1) or territories occupied by a nation (sense 2)? Both are plausible, but sense 1 emphasizes the political entity, while sense 2 emphasizes the territory. In the context, "countries on the Pacific rim of South America" refers to the nations, the states. Often, "country" in the sense of a nation-state is sense 1. Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation" – "he returned to the land of his birth." The sentence says "Support ... has risen in several countries..." – here "countries" refers to the political entities (the states). Typically, the primary sense of "country" as a nation is sense 1. Sense 5 is a geographical region of indefinite boundary, but Pacific rim countries are definite political boundaries. So sense 1 is most appropriate.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Sentence: Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of <t>South America</t> (see table 1).

Senses:
1. definition=a continent in the western hemisphere connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama
2. definition=the nations of the South American continent collectively | examples=South America is an important market for goods from the United States"

The sentence says "on the Pacific rim of South America". The Pacific rim refers to the coastline along the Pacific Ocean. "South America" here refers to the continent, the geographical landmass. It's not referring to the nations collectively as a political/economic entity. The context is geographical: "Pacific rim of South America" indicates the physical coastline of the continent. So sense 1 (the continent) is correct. Sense 2 is about the nations collectively. So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a <t>year</t> since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year.

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "year" is used in the provided sentence. The sentence is: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

The word "year" is wrapped in <t> tags: "a <t>year</t>". In context, "a year" means per annum, i.e., a period of time containing 365 days (or 366 in leap year) used as a unit of time measurement. The phrase "averaged 6% a year" means the growth rate is calculated per standard calendar year.

Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

Sense 1 matches the use of "year" as a unit of time measurement (365/366 days). Sense 2 is about specific parts of a calendar year (like fiscal year, school year). The sentence says "averaged 6% a year", meaning each standard year. Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

I will output the number.

We need to find the sense of "support" in "support for democracy". It's about people's approval or backing of democracy, not financial or physical support. Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" fits perfectly. Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" example "the policy found little public support" also sounds close. Let's compare.

The phrase "support for democracy" is about people supporting (approving of, backing) democracy. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". The example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" – this is about people supporting a person/cause. Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance" – the example: "the policy found little public support" – here "public support" is the immaterial assistance. Both are very similar. We need to pick the most precise one. Usually, "support for democracy" refers to the act of aiding the cause (sense 2) or the thing that provides assistance (sense 3). In the sentence: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40%..." – "support" here is the abstract concept of people's favorable attitude/approval. It is a noun denoting the aid/backing itself. Sense 2 defines it as "aiding the cause...", which is an action or state. Sense 3 defines it as "something providing immaterial assistance", which treats "support" as the thing that provides assistance. In "the policy found little public support", public support is the thing. In our sentence, "support for democracy" is similar: it's the public's backing. However, "support has risen" – it's a quantifiable level of backing. Usually, this is sense 2: the act or state of supporting. Many dictionaries list this as "approval, backing". Let's check WordNet or typical sense inventories. Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" is often the sense for "support" meaning approval/backing. Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance" is like "the support of his family" meaning the family provides support. In the example "the policy found little public support", "public support" is something that provides assistance. But "support for democracy" is more directly "the backing of democracy". I think sense 2 is the most direct. The sentence says "support for democracy" – democracy is the cause/policy/interest being aided. So sense 2 fits perfectly. Sense 3 is a bit more indirect: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". The public's support is something that provides assistance to democracy. Both could work, but typically in such tasks, sense 2 is the primary one for "backing". Also, the example for sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" mirrors "support for democracy". So I'll go with 2.

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

Sentence: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

Senses provided:
1. an air mass of lower pressure...
2. British political cartoonist...
3. a low level or position or degree | examples=the stock market fell to a new low
4. the lowest forward gear ratio...

In the sentence, "a low of 40%" means the lowest point or value of support. That matches sense 3: "a low level or position or degree". The example "the stock market fell to a new low" is analogous. Thus the correct sense is 3.

The instruction says "Return only the number". So I'll output just "3".

"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 <t>year</t>."

The word "year" is tagged with <t></t>. The sentence says "this <t>year</t>", meaning the current calendar year (or the specific year being referred to, likely the year of the context, e.g., some report year). It refers to a period of time. Let's examine the senses:

1. a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

In the sentence, "this year" refers to the current calendar year (e.g., 2013 or whatever the context year is). It's simply a period of 365 (or 366) days in the Gregorian calendar. It is not a "school year" or specific activity-based year. It is not a planetary revolution (though Earth's year is that, but sense 1 is the standard calendar year definition). It is not a body of students.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.

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

Sentence: It also rose in Mexico, where the <t>economy</t> has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year.

Senses:
1. definition=the system of production and distribution and consumption
2. definition=the efficient use of resources | examples=economy of effort
3. definition=frugality in the expenditure of money or resources | examples=the Scots are famous for their economy

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

Sentence: "It also rose in Mexico, where the <t>economy</t> has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year."

Senses:
1. definition=the system of production and distribution and consumption
2. definition=the efficient use of resources | examples=economy of effort
3. definition=frugality in the expenditure of money or resources | examples=the Scots are famous for their economy
4. definition=an act of economizing; reduction in cost | examples=it was a small economy to walk to work every day

The sentence says: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year." This refers to the general economic system of a country (Mexico). "Output" (like GDP) dropped, and the economy recovered. This clearly matches sense 1: "the system of production and distribution and consumption". It's about a national economy. So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big <t>drop</t> in output last year.

Senses:
1. definition=a shape that is spherical and small | examples=he studied the shapes of low-viscosity drops
2. definition=a small indefinite quantity (especially of a liquid); ; ; ; --Kipling | examples=he had a drop too much to drink
3. definition=a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity | examples=a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index
4. definition=a steep high face of rock | examples=he stood on a high cliff overlooking the town
5. definition=a predetermined hiding place for the deposit and distribution of illicit goods (such as drugs or stolen property)
6. definition=a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity | examples=it was a miracle that he survived the drop from that height
7. definition=a curtain that can be lowered and raised onto a stage from the flies; often used as background scenery
8. definition=a central depository where things can be left or picked up
9. definition=the act of dropping something | examples=they expected the drop would be successful

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

Sentence: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big <t>drop</t> in output last year."

Senses:
1. shape that is spherical and small
2. a small indefinite quantity (especially of a liquid)
3. a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity
4. a steep high face of rock
5. a predetermined hiding place for illicit goods
6. a free and rapid descent by gravity
7. a curtain for stage
8. a central depository
9. the act of dropping something

In the sentence, "a big drop in output" means a large decrease in economic output. So it matches sense 3: "a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity". The example given: "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index" is very similar. So number 3.

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

Sentence: It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in <t>output</t> last year.

Senses:
1. definition=final product; the things produced
2. definition=production of a certain amount
3. definition=signal that comes out of an electronic system

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

Sentence: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in <t>output</t> last year."

Senses:
1. final product; the things produced
2. production of a certain amount
3. signal that comes out of an electronic system
4. the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter
5. what is produced in a given time period

We need to choose which numbered sense best matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence says "a big drop in output last year." In economics, "output" refers to the total value of goods and services produced, i.e., the quantity produced. That aligns with sense 4: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)" and the example "production was up in the second quarter". Sense 5 is "what is produced in a given time period", which is similar but more vague. Sense 1 is "final product; the things produced". Sense 2 is "production of a certain amount". In this context, "drop in output" typically means a decrease in the total amount produced (GDP, industrial output, etc.). That is sense 4. Sense 4 explicitly mentions "quantity" and "within a given period of time", and the example matches economic reporting. So sense 4 is the most precise and correct.

Thus, answer is 4.

Sentence: It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last <t>year</t>.

Sentence: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last <t>year</t>."

Senses provided:

1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year

4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

We need to identify which sense matches "last year" in the sentence. "Last year" refers to the previous calendar year, a period of 365 (or 366) days. That corresponds to sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. It's not a school year, a planetary year, or a graduating class. So the answer is 1.

Sentence: "But only around <t>half</t> 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)."

Senses:

2. definition=one of two divisions into which some games or performances are divided: the two divisions are separated by an interval

We need to select 1 or 2.

In the sentence, "half" refers to a proportion of respondents, meaning 50% or one of two equal parts of the group. It's not a division in a game or performance. So sense 1.

Sentence: "But only around half of <t>respondents</t> in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2)."

Senses:
1. definition=the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding) who is accused of adultery with the corespondent
2. definition=someone who responds

The word "respondents" in the sentence refers to people who answered a survey or poll (they "respond" to questions). This matches sense 2: "someone who responds". Sense 1 is a legal term. So the answer is 2.

We are given a sentence: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and <t>Brazil</t>, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2)."

We need to determine which numbered sense of "brazil" (as marked by the <t> tag, though the word is "Brazil" in the sentence; the prompt says 'sense of "brazil"', probably a typo and they mean "Brazil") matches the usage. Two senses are given:
1. definition=the largest Latin American country and the largest Portuguese speaking country in the world; located in the central and northeastern part of South America; world's leading coffee exporter
2. definition=three-sided tropical American nut with white oily meat and hard brown shell

The context is "Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries". Clearly it refers to the country Brazil. The first sense is the country. The second sense is a nut (Brazil nut). The correct sense is number 1.

So we return 1.

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

Sentence: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2)."

Senses:
1. a politically organized body of people under a single government
2. the territory occupied by a nation
3. the people who live in a nation or country
4. an area outside of cities and towns
5. a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary...

The word "countries" refers to Mexico and Brazil. They are nations, political entities. In the context, "the region's two most populous countries" likely refers to the political entities (the states) or maybe the territory? Sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" – Mexico and Brazil are sovereign states. Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation" – that could also fit, but often when we say "populous countries", we refer to the population of the political entity. The phrase "most populous countries" often uses "country" in sense 1 or 3? Let's check: "the people who live in a nation or country" is sense 3. But "populous countries" means countries that have many people. The word "populous" modifies "countries", so the countries themselves are populous. Typically, we say "country" meaning the nation-state. The sense 1 fits best: a politically organized body of people under a single government. The examples for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" – that's the political entity. Sense 2: territory – "he returned to the land of his birth". Sense 3: the people – "a statement that sums up the nation's mood". Here, "respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries" – the respondents are in the countries, i.e., the nations. The word "countries" refers to the nations as political entities (or the territory). Which sense is primary? Usually, "country" as a nation-state is sense 1. Merriam-Webster's first sense for country is "an indefinite usually extended expanse of land : region" but that's different. Let's see these definitions. They look like WordNet senses:
1. country, state, land -- (a politically organized body of people under a single government)
2. country, state, land -- (the territory occupied by a nation)
3. nation, country, land -- (the people who live in a nation or country)
4. country, rural area -- (an area outside of cities and towns)
5. area, country -- (a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary)

In the sentence, "Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries", we are talking about them as countries. Which of these senses is used? It's not 4 (rural area). Not 5 (geographical region of indefinite boundary). It could be 1, 2, or 3. "Populous" means having a large population. So the country is described as populous, i.e., the entity has a large population. That could be sense 1 (the political body) or sense 3 (the people themselves). But if sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation or country", then saying "populous country" using sense 3 would be redundant: "populous people" doesn't make sense. We say "the country is populous", meaning the political entity contains many people. So sense 1 is the political body that includes the land, government, and people. Sense 1 is the most general for a nation-state. Also, "respondents in Mexico and Brazil" – "in" suggests location within the territory, but the phrase "the region's two most populous countries" is an appositive, identifying Mexico and Brazil. The word "countries" refers to the countries as entities. The standard WordNet sense for countries like Mexico and Brazil is sense 1. For example, in WordNet, "Mexico" is an instance of "country" sense 1. So I'm confident it's sense 1.

Senses:
1. definition=a member of the Democratic Party
2. definition=an advocate of democratic principles

We need to determine whether "democrats" here means members of the Democratic Party (an American political party) or advocates of democratic principles. The context is respondents in Mexico and Brazil. The Democratic Party is a US political party, so it makes no sense to talk about people in Mexico and Brazil being members of the Democratic Party. They are "convinced democrats" meaning they firmly believe in democracy. So sense 2 is correct. Return 2.

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

Sentence: But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional <t>average</t> (see chart 2).

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

Sentence: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional <t>average</t> (see chart 2)."

Senses:
1. a statistic describing the location of a distribution (e.g., "it set the norm for American homes")
2. (sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
3. an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual (e.g., "he is about average in height")

We need to pick the number (1, 2, or 3) of the sense that matches the usage in the sentence.

In the sentence, "average" refers to the regional average (presumably the mean or median percentage of convinced democrats across countries, weighted or not). It is a statistic describing the location of a distribution. Sense 1 says "a statistic describing the location of a distribution", with example "it set the norm for American homes". Sense 3 says "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual". The difference: sense 1 is a statistical term (mean, median, etc.), while sense 3 is a more general notion of "usual" or "typical" (like average height). In this context, "regional average" from a chart suggests it's a computed statistic (like an arithmetic mean). The phrase "drags down the regional average" implies a mathematical average that is affected by lower values. That aligns with sense 1. Sense 3 is more qualitative (e.g., he is about average in height). Sense 2 is sports-specific. So sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus, the answer is 1.

The word "chart" in the sentence refers to a figure or graph that displays data (a visual display of information), as indicated by "chart 2" which is likely a reference to a graph or table in the publication. It is not a navigational map. So sense 1 is correct.

We need to interpret "country" in the phrase "their country's democracy". The word "country's" is possessive, modifying "democracy". It refers to the political entity that has a democracy. So a "country" as a political entity, a nation-state. That aligns with sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". Sense 2 is territory; sense 3 is people; sense 4 is rural area; sense 5 is a vague region. Sense 1 best fits. The sentence talks about how the democracy works in their country. Democracy is a system of government, so it pertains to the political organization. So answer is 1.

We need to determine which sense is used. The sentence talks about "how their country's democracy works in practice". This refers to the actual political system in a country, i.e., a form of government. It's not just the political orientation (an ideology/attitude) but the system itself. Sense 1 is an orientation. Sense 2 is a political system. Sense 3 is about majority rule doctrine, which is a principle. "How their country's democracy works in practice" means the functioning of the democratic system of government in that country. So sense 2 fits best.

Thus, answer: 2.

The word "figure" here refers to a numerical value (44%). It's a number, a statistic. Sense 7 is "an amount of money expressed numerically" but that's specifically money. Sense 9 is "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with example "he had a number of chores". This sounds like "number" or "amount". Sense 3 is specifically digits (0 and 1).

The best match appears to be 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". The example "he had a number of chores" uses "number", but the definition says "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". That's the concept of a numerical value. In the sentence, "figure" means a numerical value (44%).

But let's check: Could it be 7? "an amount of money expressed numerically" – no, it's a percentage, not money.
Sense 9 defines the property of being a sum/total/quantity. "Figure" often means a number, especially in statistics. WordNet senses for "figure" as a noun often include "a number" (like "the figure 44%"). In WordNet, there is a sense: "a number or ratio". The given sense 9 matches: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" – that's essentially "number" in the abstract sense. But the example given is "he had a number of chores" which uses "number", not "figure". However, sense 3 says "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration; 0 and 1 are digits" – that's a digit, not a number.

Maybe this list is from a specific dictionary. Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically". Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". That seems abstract. In many dictionaries, there's a sense: "a number, especially a statistic." Here, 44% is a figure (statistic). The closest is 9, because it's not money (7), not digits (3).

Let's double-check: In WordNet, the noun "figure" has multiple senses:
- a diagram or picture (1)
- human body (2)
- a digit (3)
- a model (4)
- a notable person (5)
- a combination of points and lines (6)
- an amount of money (7)
- the impression produced by a person (8)
- a number (9) – wait, WordNet's sense 9 is "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals; 'he had a number of chores to do'; 'the number of parameters is small'; 'the figure was about a thousand'" – yes, that's exactly it. WordNet sense 9 includes "figure" as a synonym for "number". The example given in the prompt for sense 9 is "he had a number of chores to do", but in some versions it's "the figure was about a thousand". The prompt's example for 9 is "he had a number of chores to do", which is a bit odd because it uses "number", but the definition perfectly matches: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". So that's the sense of "number" as a count or quantity. Therefore, "the same figure as last year" means the same numerical value.

Thus, the correct sense is 9.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. 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

We are asked to identify which sense of "year" is used in the sentence. Let's analyze the sentence: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

The word "year" here is used in a temporal context. "last year" refers to the year immediately preceding the current one. This is a calendar year, essentially a period of 365 (or 366) days.

Let's check the senses:
1. a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

Sense 1 is the general definition of a calendar year. "Last year" means the previous calendar year, which is a 365/366-day period. Sense 2 is more specific, like "school year" or "fiscal year". Sense 3 is astronomical. Sense 4 is about a cohort of students. Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary

We are given a sentence with a word "increase" marked with <t> tags. We need to identify which numbered sense (1 to 5) matches the usage in the sentence.

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

We need to pick the sense number. Let's analyze the word "increase" in context. It refers to a change from 25% in 2001 to 44% now. It is described as "a big increase". The focus is on the amount of change or the fact of becoming larger.

Let's review the senses:

1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary

In the sentence: "a big increase on the 25% in 2001". It's comparing the current figure (44%) to the past figure (25%), and characterizing the difference as "a big increase". This is the amount by which something increases. It's a specific increase (from 25% to 44%). "Increase on" is often used to denote the amount of change. "A big increase on..." suggests the extent of the change. Sense 4 says "the amount by which something increases" and example: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare." This fits well.

Sense 3 is "a process of becoming larger..." but here it's not emphasizing the process, but the result/amount ("a big increase" as a noun phrase describing the difference). "Increase on" is a clue: "an increase on last year's figure" means the amount added or the difference.

Sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase" - this is more abstract, like the event of increasing. Example: "the increase is scheduled for next month." Here we say "a big increase on 25%", which is about magnitude.

Sense 1: "a quantity that is added" - could be, but the example is "addition to property taxes". Here the increase is the difference between 44% and 25%, i.e., the amount of change, not an added quantity to something else. It's the new level minus the old level.

Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" - exactly matches "a big increase on the 25%". The amount of increase is big.

Thus sense 4 is the correct one

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

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

The senses given:
1. definition=a visual display of information
2. definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

We need to identify which sense is used. The sentence has "<t>chart</t> 3" in parentheses. It says "(chart 3)". That seems like a reference to a chart (like a figure or illustration) in the source material. The word "chart" here refers to a visual display of information (like a graph or table) labeled as "chart 3". So it's sense 1. The answer is

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

Sentence: 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).

Senses:
1. definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular
2. definition=a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples=I have confidence in our team
3. definition=a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy
4. definition=a trustful relationship | examples=he took me into his confidence
5. definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a set of senses for the word "confidence". We need to identify which numbered sense is used in the sentence.

Sentence: "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)."

The word is "confidence" in the phrase "had confidence in their country's Congress and ... in their government". This clearly refers to trust or belief in institutions.

Look at the senses:

1. freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities (self-confidence)
2. a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | example: I have confidence in our team
3. a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | example: public confidence in the economy
4. a trustful relationship | example: he took me into his confidence
5. a secret that is confided or entrusted to another

Sense 2 is "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" with the example "I have confidence in our team", which directly parallels "had confidence in their country's Congress". Sense 3 is similar but emphasizes hopefulness about events, not necessarily trust in an entity. Typically, "confidence in Congress/government" is about trust in the institution. The distinction: Sense 2 is trust in someone/something; Sense 3 is hopefulness that events will be favorable. The sentence says "34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress", which is trust in the institution. So sense 2 fits best.

Thus, the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'s Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

Senses:
1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood

Sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'s Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

Senses:
1. a politically organized body of people under a single government (example: the state has elected a new president)
2. the territory occupied by a nation (example: he returned to the land of his birth)
3. the people who live in a nation or country (example: a statement that sums up the nation's mood)
4. an area outside of cities and towns (example: his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country)
5. a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) (example: it was a mountainous area)

We need to identify which sense fits the usage "their country's Congress". "Country" here refers to the nation as a political entity, which has a Congress and a government. That aligns with sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government. The example "the state has elected a new president" also refers to the political entity. Sense 2 is territory, but "country's Congress" refers to the political institution, not the land. Sense 3 is the people, but the phrase is "the country's Congress", meaning the Congress belonging to that nation, which is the political entity. It might be metonymy but the primary sense here is the political entity. So answer is 1.

3. definition=a national legislative assembly
4. definition=the act of sexual procreation between a man and a woman; the man's penis is inserted into the woman's vagina and excited until orgasm and ejaculation occur

We need to determine which sense matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence mentions "their country's Congress" and "their government". The context seems to be about a country's legislative body. "Congress" is capitalized, which often refers to the specific legislative body of a country, like the U.S. Congress. But the sentence says "their country's Congress". It doesn't specify the United States; it could be any country that calls its legislature "Congress". However, sense 1 specifies "the legislature of the United States government". Sense 3 is "a national legislative assembly", which is more general and could apply to any country's congress. Since the sentence says "their country's Congress", it could be referring to the national legislative assembly of that country. It doesn't necessarily have to be the U.S. Congress, though the capitalization "Congress" hints it's a proper noun for a specific body, but it's used generically with "their country's", implying any country that has a Congress. But looking at the definitions: sense 1 is specifically the United States legislature. Sense 3 is a national legislative assembly. The sentence likely refers to a national legislative assembly, not specifically the U.S. one. The context could be from a survey in multiple countries, or a specific country that calls its legislature Congress (like the U.S., but it says "their country's Congress", which could be U.S. respondents saying "Congress" meaning their own). However, the phrase "their country's Congress" could be used by respondents in a survey. If it's a U.S.-based survey, "Congress" might refer to the U.S. Congress. But the text says "their country's Congress" - implying the country has a Congress. Many countries have a Congress (e.g., Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, etc.) So sense 3 is more general and fits better. But sense 3 says "a national legislative assembly". The word "Congress" capitalized can still mean the national legislative assembly of a particular country. Without more context, sense 3 is the most appropriate because it's not limited to the U.S. The sentence doesn't specify the United States. So I'll go with sense 3.

Check the other senses: sense 2 is "a meeting of elected or appointed representatives" - that could work but is more generic; a "Congress" in the sentence is an institution, not a meeting. The sentence is about confidence in an institution, the national legislature. So sense 3 is better than sense 2. Sense 4 is obviously wrong. So answer: 3.

4. the study of government of states and other political units

In the sentence, "confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government" clearly refers to the governing authority as an organization (the executive branch, the administration, etc.). This matches sense 1.

So answer is 1.

3. the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun. Example: a Martian year.
4. a body of students who graduate together. Example: the class of '97.

In the sentence, "last year" refers to the previous calendar year (a period of 365/366 days), compared to 2003. It's not a school year, not a planetary orbit in a different context, and not a class of students. So sense 1 is the correct one.

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

The sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

The word is "cases" inside <t> tags. The sentence uses "in both cases" meaning "in both instances" or "in both situations". It refers to the two situations: confidence in Congress and confidence in government. The percentages are the same as last year in both instances.

Look at the senses:

1. an occurrence of something | example: it was a case of bad judgment
2. a special set of circumstances | example: in that event, the first possibility is excluded
3. ... court of law ...
4. the actual state of things | example: that was not the case
5. portable container ...
6. a person requiring professional services ...
7. a person who is subjected to experimental ...
8. a problem requiring investigation ...
9. a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument ...
10. the quantity contained in a case
11. nouns or pronouns or adjectives ...
12. a specific state of mind ...
13. a person of a specified kind ...
14. a specific size and style of type ...
15. an enveloping structure ...
16. the housing or outer covering ...
17. the enclosing frame ...
18. (printing) the receptacle ...
19. bed linen ...
20. a glass container ...

The relevant sense is "an occurrence of something" (sense 1) or "a special set of circumstances" (sense 2). Both could fit "in both cases" meaning "in both instances". Let's examine nuances. "In both cases" means "in both situations" or "in both instances". Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" - example: "it was a case of bad judgment". Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" - example: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded". The phrase "in both cases" is synonymous with "in both instances". "Instance" is closer to "occurrence" or "circumstances"? Often, "in that case" means "in that situation/circumstance". But "it was a case of bad judgment" uses "case" as an instance. The definition for sense 2 is "a special set of circumstances" with example "in that event...". That seems close to "in both cases" meaning "in both sets of circumstances". However, the phrase "in both cases" is commonly defined as "in both instances/occurrences". Let's check typical dictionary definitions. Merriam-Webster: "case" as "a set of circumstances or conditions" or "an instance of disease or problem". In the context, "the same as last year in both cases" means "the same as last year in both of the aforementioned situations/circumstances/instances". Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" - example "it was a case of bad judgment" (meaning an instance of bad judgment). Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" - example "in that event, the first possibility is excluded". Note the example for sense 2 does not use the word "case" but "event". That might be a clue: they define "case" as a special set of circumstances, and example is "in that event". The phrase "in that event" is synonymous with "in that case". So "in that case" would be sense 2. But here it's "in both cases", referring to two situations. I think sense 2 is more about a hypothetical or specific set of circumstances. However, sense 1 is "an occurrence". Let's see the 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". This means the percentages are the same as last year for both items. "Both cases" refers to the two separate items: confidence in Congress, and confidence in government. Each is a case (an instance/occurrence/situation). I'd lean towards sense 1 or sense 2. But I need to pick one.

Often, in NLP datasets like WordNet or similar, "in both cases" aligns with the sense meaning "an instance or occurrence". Let's check WordNet senses (the list looks like WordNet senses). WordNet for "case":

1. (n) case, instance, example (an occurrence of something) "it was a case of bad judgment"; "another instance occurred yesterday"; ...
2. event, case (a special set of circumstances) "in that event, the first possibility is excluded"; "it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled"
3. lawsuit, suit, case, cause, causa (a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...)
4. case (the actual state of things) "that was not the case"
... etc.

Notice sense 2: "event, case (a special set of circumstances)" with example "in that event, the first possibility is excluded" and "it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled". The phrase "in which case" uses "case" to refer to a situation/circumstance. "in both cases" would similarly mean "in both situations/circumstances". That seems exactly sense 2. Sense 1 example: "it was a case of bad judgment" uses "a case of X" meaning an occurrence/instance of X. When we say "in both cases", we mean "in both instances/situations". The example "it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled" is directly parallel to "in both cases". So sense 2 is likely the intended one.

Thus, the answer is 2.

We need to pick 1 or 2. The word "woes" here is plural, referring to economic problems/difficulties. Sense 1: "misery resulting from affliction" – economic woes are afflictions causing misery. Sense 2: "intense mournfulness" is more about the emotion of sadness. The sentence uses "woes" to mean troubles or problems, not the emotion. So sense 1 fits better. Many dictionaries have "woe" as "great sorrow or distress" (emotional) and also "things that cause sorrow or distress; troubles". Here, "economic woes" means economic troubles. The definition "misery resulting from affliction" could be interpreted as the condition of misery, but the plural "woes" often refers to the causes of misery. I'll assume sense 1 is intended for the condition itself. But the sentence says "economic woes", which are the afflictions themselves. Actually, "misery resulting from affliction" is the state of being miserable. But "economic woes" means economic problems that cause misery. It's a subtle distinction. The sense 2 is "intense mournfulness", which is definitely an emotion, not applicable to economic situations. So sense 1 is the better match. I'll answer 1.
