Target lemma: shortage

Context:
Restraining immigration leads to anaemic growth and harms employment. Fears about the impact of immigrants are based on the notion that they are liable to replace native workers, in particular unskilled ones, exerting downward pressure on wages. But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor. 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. A positive effect on wages In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a <t>shortage</t> of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals.

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

Okay, the target is "shortage" in "a country with a shortage of anaesthetists."  My initial thought is to consider the two main senses: the one related to a specific *amount* by which something is lacking (deficit, shortfall) and the one describing a general *insufficiency* (dearth, famine).  "Acute insufficiency" sounds right, but I need to be sure.  Let's consult WordNet.

I see the two senses again. The "amount" sense (1) and the "acute insufficiency" sense (2). Considering the context of "anaesthetists," I lean towards insufficiency, but let's check the synonyms and example usages. A *shortage* of labor or professionals is usually an acute insufficiency or a deficit. I recall the phrase "shortage of local labor" from the text and that makes me lean towards sense 2.

Sense 2's synonyms – *dearth, famine* – seem a little strong. But, what does WordNet say about examples? There's "dearth of evidence" for sense 2. Sense 1 gives a nutritional deficit as an example, which, although a *lack*, can also be an *amount* (nutritional deficit).  Could "shortfall" apply to a shortage of anaesthetists? It's typically for *amounts*. Let's dig deeper. The definitions themselves: sense 2 *an acute insufficiency* seems right. I'm getting there.

The hypernyms help. "Insufficiency" for sense 2, and "amount" for sense 1.  "Labor shortage," "food shortage," "water shortage" – which sense applies?  WordNet gives the same distinctions: *famine, dearth, shortage* is insufficiency, *deficit, shortage, shortfall* is amount.  "A shortage of anaesthetists" means a lack, right? Not just an amount. "Famine" is too extreme, but "dearth" is a good fit. I think "shortage of anaesthetists" is "dearth, famine" and not "deficit, shortfall."

Thinking about the wording "skill shortage" or "staff shortage" implying a deficit or shortfall makes me doubt this idea and question the use of deficit to describe people.

But the phrase, "a shortage of anaesthetists" emphasizes insufficiency, not a specific amount. Sense 2 is the better fit.  Let me verify this. If sense 1 were correct, it would be "a deficit of anaesthetists" or "shortfall of anaesthetists". People say "deficit of doctors" but "dearth of doctors" is more common.

Wait, "deficit" has another sense. It's an excess of liabilities over assets. Looking at the hypernyms: it’s "amount" for sense 1, and "insufficiency, inadequacy" for sense 2. So "shortage of anaesthetists" means inadequacy.

I need to make certain: Is "shortage" typically sense 2 when it's followed by "of [people]"?  Yes, "dearth of people," "insufficiency of people." "Amount" applies more to quantifiable volume/money, e.g., "a shortage of $10,000". "A water shortage" could be either but the amount sense is more possible here. The example for sense 1 from WordNet of "nutritional deficit" is a *lack* of nutrition.  Let's consider "an acute insufficiency". If I have "a shortage of local labor", is it an amount or an insufficiency?  Insufficiency is the match!

Now, does "famine" make sense 2 too specific? Famine is food, but as a synonym of dearth/shortage, the dictionary says "a severe shortage". WordNet synset: dearth, famine, shortage (an acute insufficiency). Synset: deficit, shortfall, shortage (an amount). I choose "shortage of anaesthetists" implies insufficiency.

Now let's check! The hypernyms of 1:26:00 (acute insufficiency) are insufficiency, inadequacy. Hypernyms of 1:07:00 (amount) are amount. "Shortage" here relates to the lack of anaesthetists, not a specific amount, so insufficiency (sense 2) is correct. I am confident.

**Analyzing "Complementarities" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "complementarity," specifically the plural form "complementarities" here. The surrounding text focuses on the positive economic effects of immigrants on local workers, highlighting how they interact and create value. It's essentially stating that immigrants and local labor *complement* each other, like a surgeon and an anaesthetist; the immigrants fill a niche.

Now, I need to pinpoint the specific sense of "complementarity" being used. I've got two main definitions to consider: first, "the interrelation of reciprocity whereby one thing supplements or depends on the other," and second, "a relation between two opposite states or principles that together exhaust the possibilities."

Given the context of immigrants and local workers, it's pretty clear that the first sense is the one we're after. The text emphasizes how they work *together* to create a more efficient and productive economic environment. The relationship is one of mutual support and contribution, where each group fills a need the other has. The second sense – something more about opposing principles – just doesn't quite fit the picture.

**Analyzing the "Arrival" Lemma**

Okay, so the target lemma here is "arrival," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, also "arrival." The context is about the impact of immigrants on local pay, specifically stating "the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect." Alright, let's look at the candidate senses.

We have:

1.  **arrival%1:18:00:: someone who arrives**: This is the "arriver," the person. Not likely, given the context.
2.  **arrival%1:04:01:: the act of arriving at a certain place**: This sounds promising. It's about *the act* of arriving.
3.  **arrival%1:04:00:: accomplishment of an objective**: This relates to *reaching* a goal. Less likely, although potentially metaphorically connected depending on the wider context.

Given that the sentence uses "the arrival of immigrants," the emphasis is clearly on the action or event of them *arriving*. So, the meaning is that this act has a positive effect, not the person or a goal.

Let me just confirm that. "The arrival of immigrants" means the *act* of immigrants arriving. Sense 2 definition: "the act of arriving at a certain place." Yes, that's a perfect match. The act of immigrants arriving at a place. That's the correct sense.

**Deconstructing the "Effect" in this Context**

Okay, so they're using "effect" here, specifically in the phrases "a positive effect on wages" and "the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals." My brain immediately goes to analyzing the intended meaning, because precision is key, right?

The crux of it is, they're talking about a *consequence* – a direct result of the immigration. It's a cause-and-effect relationship. Let's see... looking at the definitions... ah yes, Sense 2 is the clear winner: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon." Bingo. This lines up perfectly. We're talking about the *outcome* or *result* of immigration on wages.

The other senses are all wrong. Not symptoms, not outward impressions, not legal validity, not artificial impressions, and not central meanings. No, this is a clear-cut case of cause and consequence. The examples provided, particularly the one about decisions having "depressing consequences," solidify that connection between "effect" and the idea of a resulting outcome. So, Sense 2 it is. We're on solid ground here.

**Analyzing the Verb "Rise" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "rise," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, "rise." The context given is about migratory flow: "Giovanni Peri has calculated that a <t>rise</t> of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay." My first instinct is to zero in on what "rise" means here.

Looking at the candidate senses, I have a few to consider: "increase in price or value," "movement upward," a few that relate to slopes and grades, "increase in cost," "changing location in an upward direction," and then we hit the jackpot with "a growth in strength or number or importance." There are a few more, but those are the pertinent ones.

The context is about a "rise of 1% in the migratory flow." Thinking about "migratory flow," I see it refers to the influx of immigrants, so a "rise" in it suggests an increase in their number. Sense 8, "a growth in strength or number or importance," seems like the most suitable fit here.

Just to be thorough, I'll quickly check the other possibilities. "Increase in price or value," "movement upward," and "increase in cost" don't seem right in this context. "Amount salary increased" is close, but still feels too narrow. Sense 8 seems to be the clear winner; a "rise of 1% in the migratory flow" clearly translates to a growth in the number of immigrants.

So, the correct sense is definitely rise%1:11:00::, which is defined as "a growth in strength or number or importance."

**Analyzing the "Flow" of Migrants**

Okay, so the text uses "flow" in "migratory flow," and I need to figure out the intended meaning. My initial thought is that it's the movement of people – a *stream* of migrants. Let's see...

Scanning the candidate senses, Sense 1 immediately catches my eye: "something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously." The examples given are perfect: "a stream of people emptied from the terminal," and "the museum had planned carefully for the flow of visitors." That nails it, right? "Migratory flow" is clearly the flow of migrants, a continuous movement.

But hold on, the phrase "a rise of 1% in the migratory flow" does suggest a quantity or rate. Does that throw a wrench in the works? Perhaps Sense 2 ("the act of flowing or streaming") is a better fit? No, while related, it doesn't quite capture the idea of a measurable change. It's not *just* the action of flowing; it's the flow itself, as a thing, changing in magnitude.

Sense 7, "the amount of fluid that flows in a given time," seems tempting because of the quantitative aspect, but "migratory flow" doesn't relate to fluids, so that's a no-go.

Coming back to Sense 1, it seems like the best fit. I'm thinking of "migratory flow" as the stream of migrants: people in continuous movement, just like the museum's visitors. That's the core concept. It's a metaphorical stream, but the metaphor is extremely apt.

So, I'm sticking with Sense 1. "Migratory flow" = stream of migrants. The examples cement the idea: "the museum had planned carefully for the flow of visitors." That's the target. Done.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Increase"**

Okay, so the target word is "increase," and it's being used in the context of "a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay." My job is to nail down the precise meaning here. The key is understanding what "increase" refers to in that phrase. It's clearly the magnitude, the "between 0,6 and 0,9%."

Let's break down the potential senses.

*   **Sense 1:** The act of *doing* the increasing? No, not quite. It's not about the action, but the *result* of it.
*   **Sense 2:** A change *resulting* in an increase? That's closer, but still a little vague. It hints at the effect, rather than the specific amount.
*   **Sense 3:** Ah, this is promising. "The amount by which something increases." This seems to be the sweet spot. The definition itself offers an apt synonym, "increment," which is perfectly fitting. The example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" is spot-on. It's exactly the kind of construction we have here. This sounds like a great match.
*   **Sense 4:** A process of becoming larger or longer... Hmm, this leans towards the act of growth. While related, it doesn't specify the *amount* of the change.
*   **Sense 5:** A quantity that is added? Yes, this also implies the *amount* of the increase. This reinforces Sense 3.

Yep, Sense 3 is the best fit. "An increase of [amount]" falls squarely under this definition. The other senses are related but don't quite pinpoint the intended meaning. Sense 3, with its focus on "the amount by which something increases," is the clear winner.

**Analyzing the Semantics of "Fact" in Context**

Okay, here's how I'm approaching this: The target word is "fact" in "the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas...". My initial thought is that "the fact that..." typically points to a specific kind of 'fact,' so I need to nail down the precise sense here.

I'm considering the standard senses of "fact" – a provable concept, a known event, a piece of information, or a verified statement. Immediately, "the fact that..." leans towards a piece of information about a circumstance. WordNet and other dictionaries typically align "the fact that" with the sense of a circumstance, but I need to be sure.

My mind immediately goes to WordNet's senses. We have: 1. A provable concept, 2. A known event, 3. A piece of information about a circumstance, and 4. A verified statement. Does "the fact that diversity contributes..." fit nicely into any of these? I'm quickly eliminating options.

Now, I'm thinking about "the fact that" as a whole phrase, and how it's used colocationally. I'm focusing on "the fact that immigrants contribute to the creation of ideas." It represents a circumstance. The phrase "take into account the fact that..." strongly hints at Sense 3:  a piece of information. I check the synsets. I am leaning toward fact%1:09:01::, which, in WordNet 3.0, is defined as "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred."

Is it a statement or assertion? I check with an example. "And does so without taking into account the fact that..." Yes, it's a piece of information or truth of the circumstance.

I'm comparing Sense 3 ("a piece of information about circumstances") against Sense 2 ("an event known to have happened") and Sense 4 ("a statement of verified information"). "The fact that diversity contributes" isn't strictly an *event* or a *statement*; it's information *about* a circumstance.

I check another example: "the fact that he was late...". Here, the "fact that" points directly to a piece of information about a circumstance.

Finally, I think of SemCor's common tagging for "the fact that," typically as either fact%1:09:01:: or fact%1:09:02::, which aligns with my initial assessment.

Therefore, the best sense for "fact" in the given phrase is Sense 3 in WordNet: a piece of information about a circumstance. It is the information that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas.

**Analyzing the Use of "Diversity"**

Okay, the target word here is "diversity". Let's dissect how it's being used. The surrounding text focuses on immigrants and their contributions to ideas and economic growth. This immediately narrows the focus. Considering the context, "diversity contributed by immigrants," it's pretty clear that we're talking about a **noticeable heterogeneity** – a mix of backgrounds, skills, ideas, and so on.

There are a couple of potential senses the word "diversity" brings to mind. First, there is the sense of *multifariousness* or *variety*. Second, there's the idea of *changeability*.

"Diversity contributed by immigrants" doesn't quite work with changeability in the same way. The phrase is more about the richness of the existing mix, the *multifariousness* immigrants bring. Sense 1, with its emphasis on "noticeable heterogeneity", fits the bill perfectly. So, I'm going with **sense 1** as the most accurate interpretation within this specific context.

**My Analysis of "Creation" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "creation," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, "creation." The context, "...the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth..." Immediately, I'm thinking about the potential senses. Let's see, what are the candidates here?

Right, there's the big, cosmological "everything that exists," which is unlikely. Then there's "the beginning," like the creation of the universe – nope, not it. Next up, we have "the human act of creating" – a creative activity, which could work. Then, an artifact that someone made – nah. We also have "the act of starting something new," or innovation, initiation. And finally, the theological angle of God's act.

In this context, "the creation of ideas," it has to be about the human act of making ideas, generating them, that's the key. Should I go with "creative activity," or "starting something new"?

Let's compare sense 3 to sense 5. Sense 3 is the human act of creating. Sense 5 is about starting something for the first time, introducing something new. "The creation of ideas" is about generating those ideas, right? I can see the fit. But let's check further.

So, sense 3 is "the human act of creating". WordNet gives us things like authorship, making, invention as hyponyms. Okay, that feels right. "Creation of ideas" - does it mean "starting something for the first time" or just "creative activity?"

Hmm, sense 5, it's about initiating, founding, like a company, a society, things like that. Sense 3, "the human act of creating". Exactly.

Now, let me double check the WordNet definition of that sense "the human act of creating". Is there another sense, "the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new"? Okay, examples are "the foundation of a new scientific society", "initiation".

Ah-ha, that clarifies it. I think I will go with sense 3, "the human act of creating." What about the creation of wealth, the creation of ideas? I'm thinking synset 3: creation, creative activity (the human act of creating).

Let me check sense 2 as well, the event that occurred at the beginning. That seems wrong, the generation of ideas isn't at the beginning.

So it has to be sense 3. Let's check there's nothing else. Sense 5 is more about founding/initiating (innovation).

Yep, sense 3 it is. I'm confident with this choice.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Ideas"**

Okay, so the target is "ideas" within the phrase "contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth." Right, let's break this down. My initial thought is to quickly rule out the irrelevant senses; music? Nope. Personal view? Definitely not. Approximate calculation? That's not it either. Intention? Doesn't fit the context.

That leaves sense 4, "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about." Bingo, this looks promising. This definition aligns directly with "creation of ideas" – it speaks to generating new concepts, innovations, thoughts. Just to be absolutely sure, let's confirm the connection. "Creation of ideas" *directly* relates to the *content* of thought itself. Yup, sense 4 is the clear winner here. It's the only one that makes logical and semantic sense within the given context. This is it.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Proportion"**

Okay, so the lemma is "proportion," and the context is "a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners." My first thought is to consider the various senses. I've got five candidates here: magnitude, balance/symmetry, comparative relation (ratio), harmonious arrangement, and a quotient of part over whole.

The immediate idea is that "a large proportion" is about a "large part" or fraction of something. Sense 5, the quotient definition, feels relevant, like a fraction. But let's check sense 3. That definition, the "relation between things with respect to their quantity," seems promising too, especially with examples like "an inordinate proportion of the book..." and the martini example.

I'm leaning towards sense 3 now. The examples are really key here; they offer a strong guide. Sense 5 doesn't have examples! The context is "a large proportion of..." It seems sense 3 has the examples that match.

Let me think this through carefully. The sentence is saying a significant fraction/part of either naturalized immigrants, or a large portion of Nobel Prize winners are immigrants. The examples for sense 3, "an inordinate proportion of the book," and "a large proportion of gin," are a perfect match for "a large proportion of naturalized immigrants." Yes, it's about the comparative quantity – a "large" amount relative to the whole.

Therefore, after this careful analysis, sense 3 is the correct meaning here. It's about a comparative quantity or ratio.

Okay, so I'm looking at this text and immediately my expert mind jumps to the specifics. We're discussing immigrants and the economy, and the text specifically calls out American Nobel laureates and companies like Google, Intel, and so on. Right away, the geographical focus screams "United States."

The target word is "American", and the possibilities are pretty clear-cut, I have two senses in mind. Either we're talking about the United States, or we're talking about the Americas in general. Given the context, it's a no-brainer. This isn't about *the* Americas in a broad sense, it's about the *United States* and its people and culture. Therefore, sense one (American%3:01:01::) is the only relevant interpretation here. It's a precise definition needed.

**Analyzing "Winner" in Context: The Nobel Prize Dilemma**

Okay, so the word I need to disambiguate is "winner," and it appears as "winners" in the context of Nobel prize winners. Immediately, my mind jumps to the possible senses: a general victor, a successful gambler, or a generally successful person. The question is, which one fits best here? Is a Nobel Prize winner really just a "contestant who wins the contest" (sense 1) or more broadly, "a person with a record of successes" (sense 3)?

Thinking about it, a Nobel Prize *is* awarded, often as the result of a competition of sorts. They are certainly the victor, the *winner*, of the award. I need to nail down if the primary meaning of the word can be applied. I'm going to consult WordNet - specifically, is there a better synonym for the phrase, such as "Nobel Laureate?"

Aha! "Nobel laureate" is listed. Now, how does that fit with the senses of "winner" in WordNet? Okay, so sense 1 is that "contestant who wins the contest" - a victor, plain and simple. Sense 3, as I thought, refers to a generally successful individual.

Winning a Nobel Prize absolutely aligns with sense 1. It is a win - it's a competition or at least a highly selective process, even if the individual isn't necessarily a "contestant" in the traditional sense. It's a clear, direct win. Sense 3, is much more about general success (the "she's a real winner" type of usage). I think sense 1 fits the bill here, the *literal* winner of a competition, award, or prize. That's the one I'm going with.

My mind immediately jumps to the possible senses: a derogatory term for an unintelligent person, a literary reference to brutes, or the well-known search engine and tech company.

The other senses seem completely irrelevant given that it is placed in proximity to other tech companies. Therefore, I'm confident that sense index 3 is the correct one here.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Contributors"**

Okay, so the target word is "contributors," and its base form is "contributor." Let's see... the context revolves around migrants and their impact on social systems and public budgets. The text mentions a financial contribution, specifically highlighting "receipts less expenditure," which strongly suggests a monetary aspect. Now, if I apply my knowledge of semantic analysis, I see two potential senses in the word:

1.  A "contributor" as someone who provides money – a financial backer, in essence (synonym: subscriber).
2.  A "contributor" as a writer or someone whose work gets published.

Given the surrounding text, the first sense – the financial contributor – is the *clear* winner. It fits perfectly with the idea of immigrants' financial impact on social systems. This analysis is quite straightforward.

**Analyzing the Target Word "Budget" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "budget," specifically the plural "budgets," and the context is about migrants contributing to "1% of the total budgets of European countries." My first thought is to consider the two main senses of "budget" that come to mind: either a sum of money allocated, or the document itself, the summary of expenditures.

Given "1% of the total budgets," it seems like it has to be the allocated money, right? The *amount*. Think about it: they're averaging 1% *of* something. What are they averaging 1% of? It's almost certainly the *amount* of money that constitutes the total budgets.

Let's quickly consider other examples, like "public budgets." That phrase almost screams "money," the amount available, the funds themselves. We contribute to money pools.

So, comparing the two senses: If migrants contribute 1% of the total, it's about the financial contribution, a tangible amount. We're not contributing to *a document* in that sense. "1% of the total budgets" means 1% of the sum of money allocated or collected.

The first sense, "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose," is definitely the better fit. I'll just confirm one last time with the later example of "public budgets". Yep, there, it clearly implies money, not a document. You're contributing to a financial *pool*.

So, it's clear: Sense 1, "budget%1:21:02:: | definition=a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose," is the correct sense. It's the only one that makes sense in this context.

**Deconstructing "Labor" in "World Labor Organisation"**

Okay, so the target is the word "Labor" within the phrase "World Labor Organisation," which I immediately recognize as referring to the International Labour Organization (ILO). My first instinct is to think about the different potential meanings of "Labor" in this context, specifically in relation to how it modifies "Organisation."

Let's quickly run through the possibilities. First, there's the political party (British Labour Party). Nope, doesn't fit. Then we have the social class – the working class, proletariat – the people *doing* the work. That feels right. There's also the organized attempt to improve workers' status – the labor movement. Then, "Labor" can mean productive work itself, especially wage-based physical work. There's also the broader definition of "any piece of work." And, of course, the concluding state of pregnancy (that's irrelevant here). Finally, we have the federal department - Department of Labor.

The ILO definitely focuses on "labor" in the sense of productive work and workers, right? But the question is, *which* definition is the most fitting? Does it mean the social class or the productive work itself?

I'm leaning towards the idea that in organizations like the "Department of Labor" or the "Labor Organisation", "Labor" generally refers to labor as work or workers, collectively. Thinking about the ILO's purpose—promoting rights at work and decent employment—the working class (sense 2) or the labor movement (sense 3) or "productive work" (sense 4) seems most relevant.

Hold on, I see the "World Labor Organisation" using "Labor" to mean labor as work or employment. And the US DoL.

In economics, "labor" usually maps to productive work or the social class. "Labor market" points to both. Since it's a proper noun, it might simply mean work/workers. I'm going to look at the WordNet definition for "International Labour Organization" - the UN agency that works to improve working conditions. WordNet has "International Labor Organization" (ILO) - "the UN agency that works to improve working conditions". Since "Labor" is capitalized, it's a noun.

Let's think of labor unions - and also "Department of Labor". Usually, that refers to the workers. Now, sense 2's example is "there is a shortage of skilled labor". Is there another sense? Maybe "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status" (labor movement).

So, do I choose sense 2, the social class of workers or the labor movement? Or, do I choose "productive work" (sense 4)? The "Department of Labor" promotes working conditions of wage earners, but this isn't the US Department of Labor.

I'd bet on sense 2—workers—because of the phrasing ("labor and management," "labor organization"). Wait, the "labor movement" is also correct. So, workers, or the labor movement?

I'm going to search for "World Labor Organisation." It refers to the International Labour Organization, and "Labor" is "laboring class/workers" (sense 2). But does it mean "productive work" (sense 4)? Maybe the organization of labor? No, no, it's workers (sense 2). Wait! WordNet's "capital and labor" links to the workers (sense 2). The ILO brings together governments, employers, and *workers*. Thus, in ILO, "labor" means *workers* (sense 2).

But wait, in "labor market", it's usually sense 4 or 2? Let's look at the synonyms for each: "labour", "toil" vs. "labour", "working class", "proletariat". Since the ILO has representatives of governments, employers, and *workers*, it's likely "working class / workers" (sense 2).

So, "Labor" = workers (sense 2).

**My Reasoning on the Sense of "Organisation"**

Okay, so the target is "Organisation" in the phrase "World Labor Organisation." The context clearly points towards the entity itself, the group or the administrative body. My mind jumps to the possible senses: order, structure, the act of organizing a business, a group of people, distribution, the administrative body itself, or the act of establishing something.

I immediately think, "World Labor Organisation" represents *an* organization, an international body. I need to make sure I get the right sense. WordNet's sense 4 seems like a contender, "a group of people who work together," along with sense 6, "the persons... who make up a body for the purpose of administering something."

Let's do a deeper dive. Sense 4, which is "a group of people who work together," makes sense, but I should look deeper at the subtleties of how WordNet distinguishes the senses. I check WordNet 3.0: organization%1:14:00 corresponds to "a group of people who work together," while organization%1:14:01 means "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something."

It becomes clearer that the "World Labor Organisation" refers to the institution itself, not just the administrative apparatus. Sense 4 includes the hypernym "social group" and that fits perfectly. It's an "organization." Sense 6 is more about the governing body *within* the institution. "World Labor Organisation" seems to be the entire group. Sense 4 it is.

**Analyzing the Semantic Ambiguity of "Age" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "age", and the task is to pinpoint its correct sense in the phrase "an immigrant arriving at the age of 30." The potential senses I'm considering are: a historic period, a prolonged period, a time of life, and the duration something has existed, the latter of which seems most relevant.

My immediate thought is that "age of 30" refers to how long the person has lived – their duration of existence. But to be certain, I have to carefully consider the WordNet definitions. Sense 3, "a time of life", seems a possible contender at first, but the examples ("school age", "voting age") point to a specific *point* in life with a related qualification, which doesn't quite fit the context. Sense 4, which aligns with how long something (or someone) has existed, initially seems to fit.

Let's see: Is "age of 30" the measure of how long the person has lived, or is it the time of life represented by 30? If the phrase was "she was now of school age", it would be "time of life". I'm thinking about "at the age of 30" and if it is "at 30 years of age" (attribute) or "at the time of life of 30". If this were Sense 3, like "tall for his eld", "age" would refer to "time of life," but not specifically how long the person has lived.

Then I checked the "at the age of" and the different wordnet senses. I considered different examples in WordNet like "how long something has existed". I'm sure that the examples, like "it was replaced because of its age" shows how long something has existed. But wait, does this apply to people too: "he is 30 years of age" or "at the age of 30"? Sense 1 (age%1:07:00::) should apply to people.

I'm starting to lean towards Sense 4 (age%1:07:00::), the "how long something has existed" sense, which seems applicable to people just as much as objects. "The age of 30" refers to the measure of duration in this case, the time that has passed, not a stage or a period. So, it's not a generic time, but a specific number of years the immigrant has lived.

I considered other senses and compared to this one. I am thinking, I have to be careful that there is a time in life.

I am re-examining the definition again. The phrase "age of 30" is "the time he has existed". This means that the age is an attribute here. That sounds reasonable.

Based on the evidence, I am now certain that the correct sense here is the one related to "how long something has existed", because this is what "age of 30" indicates. So the correct sense is Sense 4, or `age%1:07:00::`.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Contribution" in this Context**

Okay, the target word is "contribution," and the context mentions a "net contribution" of 150,000 Euros to public budgets. Right away, I'm thinking this likely refers to some kind of financial input. Let's see...

Candidate 1 is about writing. Nope, doesn't fit the financial angle at all. Candidate 2 is "an amount of money contributed" – that's promising! Candidate 3 is a voluntary gift. Could be, but the phrase "public budgets" makes me doubt that it's charitable in this instance. Candidate 4 is about giving in common for a shared purpose, which feels like charity as well. Finally, Candidate 5 is the part someone plays. That's a possibility, but let's see.

The text clearly states an *amount* – "an average of 150,000 Euros." Not just any financial activity, but a direct *sum* contributing to public funds. I have to eliminate Candidate 3 because, in context, this is a financial contribution to public budgets, not necessarily a voluntary donation.

Candidate 2 is looking strong. It aligns perfectly with the quantitative nature of the context. Okay, let's see if there's a good definition. Checking the sense key, it's defined as "an amount of money contributed". Perfect match.

Just to be absolutely sure, let's go back and eliminate the other candidates definitively. Candidate 1 is clearly out. Candidate 3, "voluntary gift" - not a good fit. Candidate 4, "act of giving in common" - charity again, not quite. Candidate 5, "part played" - no. The "net contribution" is an amount.

Therefore, index 2. This is the correct sense.

**Deconstructing "Expenditure" in the Financial Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at this statement – "receipts less expenditure" – and immediately my expert brain zeroes in on the term "expenditure." The way it's used here, subtracted from "receipts" to arrive at a "net contribution" of 150,000 Euros, tells me we're dealing with the financial outflow, the money *paid out* from public budgets related to the immigrant in question.

My mind quickly sifts through the possible meanings. We've got: (1) money paid out, or the *amount spent*; (2) the *act* of spending the money; and (3) the *act* of consuming something. But given the structure of the equation, the context *demands* the first sense. We're subtracting an amount from another amount. "Receipts" represent money *received*, and the "expenditure" must therefore represent the *amount of money spent*. It's a direct match. The phrase "receipts less expenditure" clearly translates to "amount of money received minus the amount of money spent." Therefore, the first definition, "money paid out; an amount spent," is the correct interpretation. This is straightforward, and the only logical interpretation in this specific context.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Average" in a Specific Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at the phrase "an average of 150,000 Euros," and I need to nail down the precise meaning of "average" here. My initial thought goes to the common, everyday understanding – an intermediate value that's typical or normal. But the context is quantitative, so I need to be more precise.

Let's break this down. Is it simply an intermediate scale value, or is it a calculated statistic? The phrase explicitly implies a computation, a statistical summary. I need to be sure. I'm seeing candidate 1: "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual," but I'm leaning toward something more precise, like the location of a distribution, which is what candidate 3 offers.

Wait, looking closer, is it that common sense definition or the statistical one? "An average of 150,000 Euros" is most certainly a calculated value. Let's consult WordNet for confirmation. Sense 1 is the "intermediate scale value". Sense 3 is "a statistic describing the location of a distribution," and the word "mean" is even a hyponym of this. That's a perfect fit!

Considering the synonyms for Sense 3: "norm." Hyponyms of this sense include mean, median, and mode. Computing an average in this way explicitly implies "a statistic describing the location of a distribution." This calculated "average" value, like "averaging 1%," is a perfect fit for Sense 3.

So, is "average" here a statistical value or something more general? It's the result of averaging *over* the population, a computed value. It's unequivocally a statistic, a mean value describing the central tendency of a distribution.

Now, let's go back and look at the candidate definitions closely:
Candidate 1: an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual.
Candidate 3: a statistic describing the location of a distribution.

The "an average of 150,000 Euros" implies a statistical mean value.

To be extra certain, I need to confirm the use of "average" as a noun.
Noun sense 1: average, norm -- (a statistic describing the location of a distribution; "it set the norm for American homes") -> candidate 3
Noun sense 2: average -- (an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual; "he is about average in height"; "the snowfall this month is below average") -> candidate 1

The phrase implies a calculated mean, so sense 1, and therefore candidate 3.

Therefore, candidate 3, a statistic describing the location of a distribution, is the correct and precise definition here.
