**My Analysis of "Employment" in This Economic Context**

Okay, the target word is "employment," and the context is all about how migration impacts economic growth and wages. My initial instinct is that "employment" here relates to the level of employment within a country, but I need to make sure I'm precise. Let's see...

I'm considering these candidate senses: is it about *being* employed, the *occupation* itself, the *act* of giving a job, or the *act* of using something? In this economic discussion ("growth, wages, employment"), it *has* to be the *level* of employment – the state of *being* employed.

Right, so that's Sense 1: the state of being employed. I'm also thinking about synonyms. "Employ" fits there. But, let's just make sure, hold on...Sense 2 is "the occupation for which you are paid" – like "out of work." But, wait! When we talk about economics, it's about numbers, the quantity of people employed. That aligns with the *state* of being employed, so that's the one. Let's consult WordNet...

WordNet confirms this. Sense 1 is defined as "the state of being employed or having a job." Good. Sense 2 is "the occupation for which you are paid." Now, what about the examples? For sense 1, it has "they are looking for employment" and "he was in the employ of the city." Hmmm, interesting, in WordNet, employment%1:26:00:: is a "state" noun. employment%1:04:00:: is an "act" noun. Actually, the occupation is 04, which is act/action.

Okay, back to the context. "Economic growth, wages and employment". And it says restraining immigration "harms employment." It's definitely about the *state*, not the specific job. I need to be exact here.

Thinking about "full employment," that's usually used with an economic context. WordNet defines it as "the condition in which virtually all who are able and willing to work are employed." Condition -> state. Yep, that's further evidence. So sense 1 is definitely the best fit.

Okay, just a final check. "Impact of migration flows on economic growth, wages, and employment." So it is about the *employment level*, the *state* of having a job. I'm going with Sense 1. It's the only one that makes sense.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Country" in Context**

Okay, the target is "countries," surface form is "countries," and the context is about migration's impact on economies. My immediate thought is to consider the different senses of "country." We've got: a political entity (state, nation), the territory occupied by a nation, the people within a nation, a rural area, and a vaguely defined region. Clearly, the rural area definition is irrelevant.

The sentence mentions "countries, which admit immigrants." Immigration policy, that's definitely a function of the political body, the state, the government. Economic growth, wages, employment—those happen *within* a political entity. So, sense 1 (political entity) is looking promising, but I should distinguish between the *state* (sense 1) and *territory* (sense 2).

"Admit immigrants"—that's a *state* function. But, "economic growth, wages, and employment *in* countries" could lean towards a location. Let's look at the WordNet examples for both: sense 1 has examples like "African nations," while sense 2 gives "he visited several European countries."

In the phrase "in countries, which admit immigrants," which sense is more appropriate? "In countries" could be the territory (sense 2). Wait, but the "which admit immigrants" clause changes things! A territory doesn't *admit* immigrants; the government does. So, sense 1 (politically organized body) is better because of the active verb "admit immigrants".

Now, let's consider the context of "European countries" and "countries which admit immigrants." "Admit immigrants" highlights the *agency* of the country. Synonyms for sense 1: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic. Synonyms for sense 2: state, land. However, the use of "in" implies a location, but "admit immigrants" also implies an actor. Hmm.

"Economic growth, wages and employment in countries" is a bit ambiguous. You could say "in the state" or "in the nation." Let's look at WordNet again. country%1:14:00:: (political entity/group/politics) is in the noun.group file, while country%1:15:00:: (territory/location) is in the noun.location file.

So, the focus is on countries as geographical locations that receive migrants versus countries as political entities? Migration flows relate to location, "admit immigrants" highlights the state. Both are present, but the word "in" can be misleading. But, wait, "countries, *which* admit immigrants." The relative pronoun "which" refers back to "countries." If "countries" were just territories, they wouldn't *admit* immigrants; governments do!

I'm leaning towards sense 1 because of the active "admit immigrants" and the focus on "economic growth, wages, employment"—aspects of a national economy and state. Also, in international economics/politics, "countries" usually leans towards sense 1.

Let's double-check sense 2. "European countries" refers to *visiting* a geographical location. But here, it's about the *impact* *in* countries, which shifts the emphasis. Actually, "countries which admit immigrants" is more like "African nations" (types of states).

Okay, after this, I'm going with sense 1: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic. "Countries, which admit immigrants" points to countries as entities with immigration policies. It makes sense. It's the best fit.

**My Analysis of "Immigration" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "immigration," and the surface form is, well, "immigration." No surprises there. The context is "Restraining immigration leads to anaemic growth and harms employment." My immediate thought is to consider the possible senses. I've got two candidates: the act itself (migration into a place) and the group of immigrants (the body of immigrants).

"Restraining immigration"... that phrase usually points towards limiting the *process*, right? Not necessarily the individuals themselves, but the *act* of coming in. Unless... wait, is the author talking about restricting the people? The previous sentence mentioned the "positive impact of migration flows..." which is pretty synonymous with the flow of people coming into the country. So, the author is using "immigration" here as a synonym for "migration flows".

So, I have to choose. The first sense describes the action, the process. The second is about the group of people.

"Restraining immigration" = limiting the act of people coming in. Therefore, sense 1 is definitely the more appropriate interpretation here. It's the act, the process, that's being restrained, not the people in the abstract.

**Analyzing "Growth" in the Context of Economic Impact**

Okay, the target lemma is "growth." Let's see... the context explicitly links it to the impact of migration on "economic growth, wages, and employment." Right away, I'm thinking about how we, as experts, understand *economic growth*: that's a process of expansion, of becoming bigger, of increased activity, often measured in GDP or similar metrics.

The dictionary senses are helpful. Sense 1 is biological, not relevant here. Sense 2, progression from simple to complex, like the growth of culture - not quite what we're looking for either. Sense 3, though? Aha! "A process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" – that's it! It even provides synonyms like "increase" and "increment," which resonate perfectly with how we use "economic growth" in professional discourse. The examples provided, "the increase in unemployment" or "the growth of population" solidify this connection.

Now, let's just quickly check the other senses, just to be thorough: Sense 4 is vegetation; Sense 5 is gradual beginning; Sense 6 is pathology; and Sense 7 is something grown. Nope, not a match. Sense 3 is the clear winner. This is a solid fit.

**Deconstructing "Employment" in a Macroeconomic Context**

Okay, so I'm tackling the word "employment" in that sentence, and it's clear the context is macroeconomic. First, I need to pinpoint which sense of "employment" is being used. I have a few candidates in mind: the state of being employed, the actual occupation or work itself, giving someone a job (engagement), or the act of using something.

The phrase "harms employment" is the key here. It seems like it's referring to the overall *state* of employment, not individual jobs. "Harms employment" means it increases unemployment or reduces the overall level of people employed. I initially stumble a bit, because "a lot of people are out of work" falls under "work" or sense 2. However, thinking about it further, I realize that "employment in countries" is usually about the state of being employed (sense 1).

I need to nail this down for sure. I'm going back to WordNet. "He is looking for employment" is used in both sense 1 (state of being employed) and sense 2 (occupation). But, typically, macroeconomic indicators are linked to the "state of being employed or having a job". "Full employment" is a *state*, and "Employment fell by 10,000" refers to a change in the *state*.

Let's look at "work." Sense 2, "the occupation for which you are paid," seems to refer to a specific job (like "I found employment as a carpenter"). Sense 1 defines "work" as "the state of being employed or having a job," and that aligns better with "employment in countries." It's about the general level/state of people having jobs. Thus, "harms employment" means it harms the state of being employed, reducing the overall employment rate.

I need to confirm this with the synset definitions. It appears that "employment%1:26:00::" is categorized as noun.time or noun.state (26 is noun.state), which is the state of being employed. "Employment%1:04:00::" is in noun.act (04 is noun.act) and refers to the occupation. So, "harms employment" is the state (noun.state), meaning "harms the state of people being employed".

Okay, does "employment" as an economic indicator map to noun.state? I should check "unemployment". Yep, "unemployment%1:26:00::" (noun.state) is the state of being unemployed or not having a job.

So, it's confirmed: the macroeconomic "employment" is definitely sense 1 (noun.state). I need to double-check. Sense 1 is the state. Sense 2, 3, and 4 are acts. The "growth, wages, and employment" context clearly defines states or quantities within an economy. "Employment" is the aggregate state of people being employed. Therefore, I can confidently choose Sense 1.

**Analyzing the Semantic Range of "Fears"**

Okay, so the target is "Fears" in the context of "Fears about the impact of immigrants..." Immediately, I'm thinking about the possible senses. There are three candidates: the basic emotion of fear (sense 1), an anxious feeling or concern (sense 2), and profound respect (sense 3). We can quickly dismiss sense 3, profound respect, as irrelevant.

Now, let's drill down into the nuance between sense 1 and sense 2. Sense 1 is that immediate emotion, the anticipation of pain or danger, a more visceral response. The synonyms like "fearfulness" and "fright" really highlight that. Sense 2, however, is about anxiety and concern. The examples – "care had aged him", "they hushed it up out of fear of public reaction" – are key here. They indicate a more intellectualized worry.

In this specific context – "Fears about the impact of immigrants" – it's clear we're dealing with *concerns*. "Fears about the economy" or this phrase with immigrants, these are anxieties, not a fight-or-flight response. The plural form "fears" is particularly telling here, isn't it? It suggests a collection of anxieties, not a single, intense fear.

Let's confirm this by reviewing the specific definitions, I'll pull out the relevant WordNet senses: "fear%1:12:01::" (an anxious feeling) and "fear%1:12:00::" (emotion in anticipation of danger). Definitely sense 2, that anxious feeling, best captures the intended meaning. "Fears about the impact..." is clearly synonymous with "anxieties about the impact..." I'm satisfied; sense 2 is the best fit here.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Impact" in Context**

Okay, the target is "impact", and the surface form is just "impact" – straightforward enough. Now, let's consider the context: "... Fears about the impact of immigrants..." Right away, my mind jumps to the candidate senses. I see the usual suspects: physical striking (unlikely here), a forceful consequence/effect (Sense 2), influencing strongly (Sense 3), and some combative interaction definition (definitely not right).

My immediate thought is to differentiate between Sense 2 and Sense 3. Sense 2 seems like a good fit: "a forceful consequence; a strong effect". The example, "the book had an important impact on my thinking," seems analogous. Sense 3, "influencing strongly," feels more like "impingement" in my mental model. The example is "they resented the impingement of American values."

So, "Fears about the impact of immigrants" is likely fears about the strong *effect* immigrants have on economics, wages, and employment. Then, I remember something else: "...positive impact of migration flows on economic growth..." Hmmm, that supports "effect" again.

Let's do a quick comparison of synonyms and hypernyms. Sense 2 is about "consequence, effect, result, upshot," and Sense 3 is about "influence." Yep, feels right. In the "positive impact" example, it clearly means "effect." So, in our target sentence, it should also be "effect/consequence."

I'm starting to lean heavily toward Sense 2. Let's make sure with WordNet, comparing the examples provided to ensure they fit our sentence, "Fears about the impact of immigrants." The book example fits, where "impact on my thinking" is parallel to "impact of immigrants," or "impact of migration flows on economic growth."

Therefore, Sense 2's definition seems like the obvious choice. The other definition seems to be about influence, and is incorrect here.

Alright, a quick final check: Sense 2: a forceful consequence; a strong effect. Sense 3: influencing strongly – more about impingement or encroachment. Given "positive impact" meaning "effect," I'm confident in Sense 2.

The sentence "Fears about the impact of immigrants" is clearly about the *effect* that immigrants have. Sense 2, "a forceful consequence; a strong effect," is the most appropriate. I'm satisfied.

**Deconstructing "Notion" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "notion." The context is "Fears about the impact of immigrants are based on the notion that they are liable to replace native workers..." My initial thought is to run through the possible senses. We've got:

1.  A vague idea, but with some confidence placed in it. Synonyms like impression, feeling, belief, opinion.
2.  A general, inclusive concept.
3.  An odd, fanciful idea.
4.  Small personal articles, clothing, or sewing items – definitely not it.

So, the phrase, "the notion that they are liable to replace native workers," is a belief or opinion, even though, in this case, it's a misguided one. Now, let's zero in. Sense 1, the vague idea with confidence, aligns well with that belief. It's essentially people *believing* that immigrants are taking over jobs.

Synonyms for sense 1: impression, feeling, belief, opinion. I can easily rephrase it as "based on the belief that..."

Let's quickly rule out sense 2, which is a "general, inclusive concept." Like, the notion of justice. Here, it is a propositional belief: "the notion THAT they are liable to replace native workers." It's definitely an opinion or belief.

So, given the options and this context, sense 1 is the most precise.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Workers"**

Okay, so the target word is "workers," and the context mentions replacing "native workers," wage pressure, and a shortage of local labor. My immediate thought is to consider the various senses of "worker" to nail down the correct meaning.

First, I identified a few candidate senses: the general concept of someone employed, someone belonging to the working class, a member of a social insect colony, and someone who gets things done. It's quickly apparent that the insect sense is irrelevant.

The key is distinguishing between a "worker" as someone with a specific occupation and "the working class." The context clearly centers on employment and the labor market. Native workers are being replaced, which implies people in occupations or jobs. It relates to wages and labor shortages. Sense 1, "a person who works at a specific occupation," looks like a good fit, though sense 2 ("member of the working class") is also relevant.

To be certain, I quickly checked the WordNet hierarchy. Sense 1 traces back to "person," "individual," and then to a living thing. Sense 2 links to "commoner" and "common man." Thinking from an economics perspective, "workers" generally refers to individuals who are part of the labor force.

Given the language about labor, replacement, and wages, Sense 1 is the most appropriate. "Native workers" simply refers to native people employed, which aligns perfectly with this sense. Sense 2, the "working class," is broader. Therefore, sense 1 is the most relevant and precise choice here.

**Deconstructing "Ones"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "ones" within the phrase "unskilled ones," and my task is to pinpoint its precise meaning. My initial instinct is that "ones" here is a pronoun, substituting for the word "workers". Therefore, I'm looking for the most appropriate definition of "one" in its plural form "ones".

Scanning the candidates, the first sense – the number "1" – is immediately discarded. It's a numerical sense, completely irrelevant in this context.

The second sense, however, immediately clicks: "a single person or thing." This sounds promising, since we are referring to workers. The provided examples for this sense, "he is the best one" and "this is the one I ordered," further solidify this interpretation; and indeed the plural of these would be "unskilled ones". This sense fits perfectly, describing "ones" as a stand-in for "people" or "persons."

So, sense 2 it is. The pronoun use of "one," meaning "a single person or thing," is clearly the intended meaning here. The plural form "ones" elegantly replaces "workers". Case closed.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Pressure" in Context**

Okay, the target is "pressure," and the context is "...exerting downward pressure on wages." My initial thought is to figure out the specific meaning here. It's clearly about a force or influence that's driving wages down. Let's run through the senses and see which one fits best.

*   **Sense 1** is the physical force measured in pascals, which is a definite non-starter here.
*   **Sense 2**, "a force that compels," feels promising right away.
*   **Sense 3**, the act of pressing...that's physical, so no.
*   **Sense 4** is about demanding attention; not relevant.
*   **Sense 5** is the somatic sensation... nope.
*   **Sense 6** is about distress... it *could* be related to the consequences, but the core here seems like "exerting" force.
*   **Sense 7** is atmospheric pressure, and we're not dealing with the weather.

Let's circle back to that compelling force definition. "Downward pressure on wages" clearly implies a force, likely economic (market forces, etc.). This makes a lot of sense, because "a force that compels" also fits examples like "the public brought pressure to bear on the government," right? Political pressure is, in essence, a compelling force too. This economic pressure is also compelling.

What about Sense 6, the oppressive condition? Could "downward pressure on wages" be seen as an oppressive condition? Not really. It seems like using pressure as a force. "exerting pressure" fits much better.

Okay, let's lock in on Sense 2: "a force that compels." It defines a force, and fits with "downward pressure" perfectly. That's a textbook fit.

Now, could this be a metaphoric use of Sense 1? WordNet doesn't split metaphoric senses that often unless it's specified, so this is likely Sense 2, "a force that compels."

Let's dismiss the other candidates again. Sense 3, the act of pressing, is physical. The fit here is not quite right. Sense 2 is a force that compels. Economic forces can exert this kind of "pressure," which is "a force that compels."

Okay, let's confirm.
*   Sense 1: physical force (pascals). Nope.
*   Sense 2: compelling force. Yes!
*   Sense 3: pressing (button). No.
*   Sense 4: demanding notice. No.
*   Sense 5: sensation. No.
*   Sense 6: oppressive condition. No.
*   Sense 7: atmospheric. No.

Yes, Sense 2 is definitively the best choice. That "force that compels" definition just nails it. "Downward pressure on prices" or wages, is a standard example of "a force that compels". That's it.

**Deconstructing the Meaning of "Experience"**

Okay, so the text uses "experience" in a pretty common way – "But experience shows..." Right away, my expert brain goes to "experience" as in accumulated knowledge or empirical observation. It's like saying "based on what we've learned over time..." or "as proven by consistent observation." Definitely not the "I had a religious experience" or "a surprising experience" sense.

Let's quickly run through the likely candidates. There's the sense of accumulated knowledge, which fits the context perfectly – it's akin to the idea that "experience is the best teacher". Then, we have the sense of a specific, perhaps unique, event – which feels wrong here. Finally, the sense of the experience as an event itself also doesn't click.

So, clearly, the first sense is the money shot: "the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities." That's the empirical foundation the text is leaning on. It's saying, essentially, that accumulated evidence demonstrates a certain outcome, which is a very standard use.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Replacements" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "replacements," and the context highlights immigrants being *more complementary to* local labor *rather than* acting as replacements. Right away, I'm thinking about the economic implications here – the concept of complements versus substitutes is immediately relevant.

The text is clearly framing immigrants as *substitutes* for local labor, if the alternative were the case. Given that "replacements" refers to immigrants taking the place of local workers, I need to narrow down the correct sense of the word. Let's see...

I have a few senses to consider: "the act of furnishing an equivalent," "someone who takes the place of another person," "an event in which one thing is substituted," "a person or thing that takes or can take the place of another," "filling again by supplying what has been used up," and "a person who follows next in order." Clearly, the relevant ones are the ones dealing with substitution.

Sense 2, "someone who takes the place of another person," and sense 4, "a person or thing that takes or can take the place of another," are the front-runners. My initial thought is that sense 4, "a person or thing," seems more appropriate since "labor" is a collective term for workers.

But let's look at the synonyms. Sense 4 includes "substitute" which fits perfectly into the economic context of complement/substitute labor. Sense 2 offers "surrogate" and "alternate," and those are more specific and less fitting for this situation.

Hold on, let me trace back how WordNet differentiates: "substitute, replacement" (sense 4) versus "surrogate, alternate, replacement" (sense 2). This confirms that "substitute" is a direct synonym for sense 4, whereas, in sense 2, we have a different set of synonyms. The economic framing clearly leans toward viewing the immigrants as a substitute, or not, for local labor.

The key phrase "rather than replacements of" solidifies this. The use of "substitute" as the primary synonym for "replacements" within sense 4 completely clarifies it. So, "replacements" here is essentially being used as a synonym for "substitutes." This aligns perfectly with the economic argument being presented – immigrants can be *either* complementary to *or* substitutes for local labor, and the text emphasizes the former.

Therefore, sense 4, the definition that includes "substitute" as a synonym, is the correct choice.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Labor" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "labor," and the given context is talking about immigrants and their relationship to "local labor." My initial thought is to consider the different senses this word can have. Let's see... the text mentions "complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor" and then a "shortage of local labor." This immediately suggests we're talking about the *workers* themselves, the people, the social class.

I'm checking my mental dictionary. Sense 1 pops up: "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages." Synonyms like "working class" or "proletariat" resonate. There's also the example of "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field," which seems to fit perfectly with the context's mention of a "shortage."

But, wait, I need to be precise here. Does "local labor" refer to the work *itself* or the *people* doing the work? The phrase "replacements of local labor" strongly indicates it refers to the workers. Sense 1 aligns with this. The text talks about immigrants *replacing* or being *complementary to* the local workers.

Okay, let's confirm. "Replacements of native workers...complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor". Sense 1's definition, "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages," is the best fit, and it is the most likely meaning in this context. Done! Sense 1 it is.

**Deconstructing the Phrase "Exercising Trades"**

Okay, so the text claims that immigrants complement, rather than replace, local labor by "exercising trades" where there's a shortage. Let's unpack this phrase. "Exercising trades" – that's the key. My immediate thought is, "Okay, what do we *really* mean by that?"

My instinct is that we're talking about the **practical application of a skilled occupation** – that's sense 2. It's about *doing* the job, not just knowing about it. We're talking about *craft* in action. But, given that this isn't a legal or policy document (I don't think), let's make sure.

Let me check the other senses: commercial exchange, business/clientele, instance of buying/selling, people in a skilled occupation, wind patterns, equal exchange... none of those quite fit this context. Sense 2 - skilled practical application of an occupation - is the best fit. "Exercising trades" in this scenario means they are *practicing* an occupation.

Therefore, "exercising trades" seems to be synonymous with "practicing occupations." Case closed.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Shortage" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "shortage" in "exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor." I'm faced with two potential senses: "the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required" (deficit, shortfall) or "an acute insufficiency" (dearth, famine). My initial thought is that "shortage of local labor" likely means an *insufficiency*, a *dearth*.

Let's break it down. Sense 1 sounds more like a numerical deficit, like a "nutritional deficit." Sense 2, with "dearth" and "famine," points to a more general lack or deficiency. I need to figure out if we're dealing with an *amount* that's missing or a broader state of *not having enough*.

I'll check WordNet. "Labor shortage" might be associated with one, the definitions are "dearth" for insufficiency, and "deficit" for the amount. "There is a shortage" refers to an *insufficiency*, like a "dearth." Famine is associated with food. I can use my expert knowledge of the language.

The phrase "there is a shortage of local labor" refers to an insufficiency. Let's think about examples; "there is a shortage of teachers" is an insufficiency. I can consider the WordNet hierarchy. This points me to the *insufficiency* sense. Sense 2 seems a better fit, as it denotes the insufficiency itself rather than the precise amount of the shortfall. While "shortfall" and "shortage" are sometimes used interchangeably, I would use "dearth of labor".

Let's check WordNet. "labor shortage" is an insufficiency. Is the shortage in the sentence "acute"? Not necessarily in a panic sense, but yes, it is an insufficiency. I know now that sense 2 is more accurate.

I'm thinking about "shortfall" vs "dearth." A shortage of workers is an *insufficiency*.

Let's check WordNet 3.0.
Sense 1: deficit, shortfall, shortage - the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required.
Sense 2: dearth, famine, shortage - an acute insufficiency.

"Trades in which there is a shortage of local labor" -> "insufficiency of local labor".

Therefore, I'll output sense 2.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Labor" in Context**

Okay, so we're looking at "labor" in the context of immigrants potentially filling positions. The specific phrase we're dissecting is "shortage of local labor." My initial thought is to consider the common senses of "labor." There are two obvious contenders.

First, we have the sense of "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages," essentially the working class. The second sense is "productive work, especially physical work done for wages," focusing on the *activity* itself.

My first instinct is to lean towards the first sense, as in, "there's a shortage of skilled labor in this field". But, I better check WordNet to be sure. Alright, WordNet confirms that the "shortage of skilled labor" example falls under the noun.group lexname, which aligns with that "social class" definition. Let's see, it also has "productive work..." under a different lexname.

Now, let's consider the full phrase: "exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor". Here, I'm thinking about "local labor" as referring to the workers themselves – the group of people available to work. The collective, if you will. This *exactly* matches sense 1 ("a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages"), and that WordNet example really nails it. So, I'm confident that sense 1 is the correct interpretation here. This is pretty straightforward.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Sectors"**

Okay, the target word is "sectors," and the context mentions that "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment." Immediately, I'm thinking this is related to economics – parts of the economy, employment sectors, industry.

Let's look at the candidate senses. I'm discarding the geometric definition immediately; that's irrelevant. The computing and military senses are also unlikely in this context. We're left with a few possibilities: a social group/economic part, a particular aspect of life/activity, or a measuring instrument. The economic sense seems most promising.

Specifically, sense 2 is "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy," with the example "the public sector." Does this fit? Considering the context about attracting local labor, I'm leaning heavily towards "economic sectors" being the correct interpretation. "Sectors which do not attract local labor" refers to specific economic areas.

Let's do a quick double-check. Sense 2's definition is "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy," and the provided example is "the public sector." The context about unskilled immigrants working in these "sectors" aligns perfectly with the economic sector meaning. Therefore, I'm confident that sense 2, representing an economic part, is the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing "Labor" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "labor," and the surface form is, of course, "labor" as well. Let's see... the context is about immigrants and their relationship to the local workforce. Specifically, it's about sectors that *don't* attract local labor, and trades where there's a shortage of local labor.

I've got two senses to consider. The first one, `labor%1:14:00::`, is defined as "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages." The example they give is perfect: "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field." That's spot on! It's referring to the *workers* themselves, the labor force. My gut says this is the winner, given the context's use of "local labor" to mean "local workers."

Sense two, `labor%1:04:00::`, is about "productive work" – like "his labor did not require a great deal of skill." While that definition is valid in other instances, it doesn't quite fit here. The text specifically refers to sectors that "do not attract local labor," which is clearly referring to *people*, not the *activity* of working.

Let's quickly confirm. That first sense, with its "social class" definition, the synonyms of "working class" and "proletariat," and that example sentence about the shortage... yeah, that clicks perfectly with the sentence: "exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor. Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor..."

Yep, sense 1 it is. It's about the workers. Case closed.

Okay, so the task at hand involves deconstructing the use of "ones" in this sentence. The target lemma is "one," which, in its surface form here, is "ones." Let's break down the context: "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."

Right away, it's clear "ones" acts as a plural pronoun. It's substituting for "immigrants," and that's the key here. We need to identify the correct sense of "one" that best fits this usage.

Looking at the candidates, we have "the smallest whole number" (Candidate 1) and "a single person or thing" (Candidate 2). Clearly, "the smallest whole number" is irrelevant. "Ones" are plural immigrants.

The second candidate, "a single person or thing," is the winner when we pluralize it to "persons or things". It's a perfect match. The phrase "the most highly skilled ones" refers to "the most highly skilled immigrants" making Candidate 2 the clear winner.

**Analyzing the Use of "Sectors" in Context**

Okay, the target is "sector," specifically the plural "sectors," and the context revolves around immigrants and employment within the economy. The phrasing "dynamic sectors where training does not link to offers of employment" is key. My initial thought is to consider the possible senses.

I have to consider a few options. Sense 2 sounds promising: "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy," with examples like "the public sector." And Sense 3 is also possible, "a particular aspect of life or activity." The phrase "economic sectors" comes to mind. Given the focus on the economy and employment, it's pretty clear that "sectors" refers to parts of the economy, like in the phrase "unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors."

Let me double-check Sense 2. Ah, it's explicitly defined as "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy," and WordNet 3.0 confirms the "sector of the economy" falls under this. Specifically, sector%1:14:00::. Yes, "public sector" is a good example.

Let's quickly rule out other senses: geometry (Sense 1), computing (Sense 4), military position (Sense 5), and the measuring instrument (Sense 6) are all irrelevant here.

Considering the given context "dynamic sectors where training..." it is clearly speaking about parts of the economy, it has to be economic sectors.

So, rereading Sense 2: "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy." The context emphasizes employment within the economy, it is evident that it matches the definition, especially the phrase "part of the economy." Therefore, index 2 is the best fit.

**Analyzing the Concept of "Training"**

Okay, so the target word is "training," and the context mentions highly skilled workers in dynamic sectors where, crucially, the training isn't tied to job offers. The text reads "...where training does is not linked to offers of employment", which is clearly a typo, meaning "training is not linked to offers of employment." I need to determine the correct sense of "training" here.

The text offers two possibilities: first, "activity leading to skilled behavior" – preparation, grooming, that kind of thing; and second, "the result of good upbringing," which usually refers to knowledge of the correct social behavior.

Given that we're talking about *highly skilled workers*, *dynamic sectors*, and, importantly, the *lack* of an employment link, the first definition makes the most sense. The focus here is on vocational or educational activity that directly leads to acquiring skills *for a job*. Upbringing and social graces, while important, aren't the primary concern in this specific context. Therefore, I'm going with sense number one.
