Target lemma: crime
Target surface form: crime
Context:
That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor. (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB- But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4).

**Analyzing the "Crime" Lemma**

Okay, so the target lemma is "crime," pretty straightforward. The surface form matches, so no issues there. The context is where things get interesting, describing the impact of a recession on *violent crime* and how people view *crime* as a major problem compared to unemployment. This points directly toward a specific meaning.

Let's look at the candidate senses. We have: (1) "an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act" and (2) "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law." Given the context mentioning "violent crime" and framing it as a primary societal problem, the first sense immediately jumps out as the correct interpretation. This is clearly referring to illegal actions, acts that involve the police, courts, and legal consequences. Sense 2, while valid, doesn't align with the context's implications of societal concern and the impact of a recession, and so sense 1 is the obvious and appropriate choice here.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Time"**

Okay, let's break this down. The context mentions "For only the second time since the polls began..." so clearly, we're dealing with an instance or occurrence of something. The target word is "time," obviously. Now, I need to pinpoint the appropriate sense of "time" here. Looking at sense 10, time%1:11:00:: | definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | synonyms=clip | examples=this time he succeeded; he called four times… That's the one. The phrase "the second time" is unequivocally referring to the second *instance* or *occasion* of something happening. The synonyms and examples listed, such as "this time he succeeded," perfectly match the contextual meaning. Sense 10 is, without a doubt, the correct sense here.

**Deconstructing "Polls" in the Latin American Context**

Okay, the word in question is "polls." Let's break this down. The surrounding text immediately points me toward public opinion. Specifically, it mentions "respondents across Latin America... citing crime." So, we're not talking about parrots or the top of someone's head. Those senses are clearly non-starters.

Now, my mind naturally jumps to "inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" – a classic opinion poll. That fits like a glove given the context. Latinobarómetro or a similar survey is clearly what's being referred to here.

Just to be thorough, I'll quickly eliminate "the counting of votes." This isn't about an election; it's a survey assessing public sentiment. The mention of "respondents" decisively rules out electoral "polls."

Therefore, Sense 1, the public opinion survey, is the definitive interpretation. Done.

**Analyzing "Respondents"**

Okay, let's break this down. The target word is "respondents," and the example sentence is pretty straightforward: "...more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country..." My immediate thought is, this is obviously about people answering something – likely a survey or poll.

Now, let's consider the possible senses. There's the legal definition, the codefendant, particularly in a divorce, which is a common usage. Then, there’s the more general sense of someone who simply *responds* – a responder or answerer.

Given the context, the second sense, the responder, just leaps out as the perfect fit. "Respondents" in a survey are, by definition, the people who provide answers. This is a clear case of context overriding any other, more niche, definition. Case closed.

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

Okay, so the task is to figure out the meaning of "whole" in the phrase "Latin America as a whole." The surface form is "whole," straightforward enough. I'm presented with two candidate senses: a collection of parts as a single entity (whole%1:03:00) and encompassing all elements or parts (whole%1:09:00).

Immediately, "Latin America as a whole" rings a bell. It's very similar to the provided example, "Europe considered as a whole." That seems to strongly indicate sense 2, which is about totality: "all of something including all its component elements or parts."

Just to double-check, I'll confirm. "All of something including all its component elements or parts"... yes, "Europe considered as a whole" perfectly fits that. And, of course, so does "Latin America as a whole." Yep, sense 2 (whole%1:09:00) is the correct one. Therefore, the sense index is 2.

**Analyzing the Context of "Crime"**

Okay, so the target word is "crime," and it's being used in a sentence that mentions Latin American countries, violent crime, and victimization. This is straightforward; I need to pin down the *specific* meaning here, given the context. My mind immediately jumps to the two main senses of "crime." Sense 1, the more abstract one, refers to an evil act, not necessarily a legal one, like a "crime of the heart." But that's clearly not it. The phrasing, "rather than unemployment," and the link to violence and victims strongly suggests that Sense 2, the legal definition of "an act punishable by law," is what's intended. In this context, it's pretty obvious the sentence is referring to *criminal offenses* as a serious problem, and the use of the term violent crime underscores the correct sense. Sense 2 it is.

**My Analysis of "Problem" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "problem," and the context is about people citing either crime or unemployment as the most significant "problem" their country faces. My initial instinct is to consider the different senses this word can carry. I've got a few options in front of me:

1.  A "state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" – like someone "having problems" in a relationship.
2.  A "question raised for consideration or solution" – like a math problem.
3.  "A source of difficulty" – a synonym would be "trouble".

Immediately, it seems like senses 1 and 3 are the most relevant. I’m thinking crime and unemployment are *sources of difficulty* for a nation. I'm visualizing "what's the problem?" in a trouble-shooting context.

I'm comparing "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" versus "a source of difficulty". In this scenario, crime is the latter. Using the example: "The biggest problem facing the country is..." – this seems to align with the "source of difficulty" sense. Reading through the examples and definitions, it's clear WordNet distinguishes between the two, which is useful. The example of interpersonal problems really drives home the "state of difficulty" sense.

Let's quickly rule out sense 2, as the context isn't really a question. I’m zeroing in on senses 1 and 3 and trying to decide between them. Is crime a *state* of difficulty, or a *source* of difficulty?

Crime itself is an activity, which is a *source* of difficulty. Using a synonym to cement the idea: "crime" is a "trouble." The phrase "most important problem facing their country" is strongly suggesting sense 3. So, I will choose sense 3.

**My Analysis of "Country" in Context**

Okay, so the target word here is "country" in the phrase "the most important problem facing their country," and the context involves Latin Americans, various moods across different *countries*, Brazil's president, Mexico, Central America, recession, crime, and unemployment. My initial thought is to figure out which sense of "country" is most relevant here.

Candidate 2 seems promising: the politically organized body of people under a single government—essentially, the state or nation. Candidate 4, the people who live in the nation, and Candidate 5, the territory. Given that this is a political context ("most important *problem* facing their country"), the state or nation (Candidate 2) is the most likely meaning.

Wait, let me double-check with WordNet. Yup, it defines "state, nation, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic" as *precisely* "a politically organized body of people under a single government." That's solid. So, Candidate 2 has the core synonyms.

Candidate 5 (territory) is sometimes used as a synonym for "country" and also has the words "state" and "land" in its definition.

Looking at the phrase "facing their country," it's clear we're talking about a problem affecting the *political entity* – sense 2.

Let me verify a few things:
"country%1:14:00::" (sense 2) – Example: "the state has elected a new president". Perfect.
"country%1:14:01::"? Example: "the news was announced to the nation."

Now, when we consider "problem facing their country," it most definitely means the state/nation as a political entity. So, sense 2 is the better fit here: problems with the government are common in this scenario. It could also refer to the "nation" of people in some cases.

Let's look at another example: "mood varies widely from country to country." This is about the "political entity" or "the people" within them.

Yes, in "facing their country," the nation-state is the most appropriate. WordNet defines sense 2 as "a politically organized body of people under a single government." Sense 5 is the "territory." I'm sticking with sense 2 – that's the clearest and most standard use of the word here.

**Analyzing the Context of "Chart"**

Okay, so the target is "chart", and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, also "chart." The context is: "...see <t>chart</t> 5..." Immediately, I'm thinking, this is straightforward. The reference to "5" likely indicates a numbered figure or section.

Now for the candidate senses. I'm presented with two. The first, **chart%1:10:00::**, which is defined as "a visual display of information." That feels like a strong contender given the context. The second, **chart%1:06:00::**, describes "a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea." While technically a visual display, it's a very specific type. Given the likely reference to a figure in a report, which would likely display information like statistics (crime vs. unemployment), I'm almost certain the first sense is the correct one. The mention of '5' would confirm my initial intuition: figures are numbered, and they present information. This is an easy disambiguation.

**Deconstructing "Relative" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "relative," and the surrounding sentence is key: "...either they or a close relative have been victims of crime..." My immediate thought is to consider the possible senses of "relative." There's the obvious definition – a person connected by blood or marriage, a "relation," as we'd define it. Then, I also need to account for the broader biological context; a related animal or plant is also a "relative."

Given the phrase "close relative" in the context of criminal victimization, it's clear this isn't about botanical or zoological relationships. The intent is clearly about family. Therefore, sense 1, the human relational definition, is the correct interpretation. It's a straightforward disambiguation, really, but the exercise helps to make sure that I'm considering all relevant senses of the word.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Victims"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "victim," and the surface form is "victims." The context provided is: "...say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year..." My initial task is to determine the correct sense for "victims" within this specific sentence.

I've got two candidate senses to consider. The first, victim%1:18:01::, refers to someone who is tricked or swindled – essentially a "dupe." The second, victim%1:18:00::, describes an "unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance."

Now, the context explicitly mentions "victims of crime." The fact that it previously refers to "violent crime" strengthens my hypothesis that "victims" in this instance is likely *not* referring to someone who has been tricked. While certain crimes might involve trickery, the phrase "victims of crime" is broader and can encompass instances of violence, loss, and other harmful events.

Therefore, the second sense, describing someone who suffers from an adverse circumstance, is the most appropriate fit here. I'm focusing on "victims of crime" which can be restated as "victims of a harmful event". This makes sense 2 the correct candidate. So, the mapping is clear: "victims of crime" points directly towards victims who have suffered due to an adverse circumstance, not someone who has been duped.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Crime"**

Okay, so the target word is "crime," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, also "crime." The provided context mentions "victims of crime" and also specifically calls out "violent crime." Right away, I can eliminate the secondary, more abstract definition. This is a straightforward instance of the first sense, the legally punishable offense. There's no ambiguity here; the context strongly implies a violation of criminal law. We're dealing with the practical, legal definition of "crime" – an act deemed punishable by law, not just a general wrong or evil. The phrase "violent crime" definitely solidifies it. Sense 1 is the correct and only applicable meaning here.

**Analyzing the Context of "Year"**

Okay, so the target is "year" and the surface form is just "year" – straightforward enough. My task is to determine the correct sense in the context: "...over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year...". Instantly, I'm thinking this is about a temporal duration. Specifically, it's referring to the past 12 months.

Let's quickly check the candidates: I've got a student body meaning, which is out. Then, there are definitions for school year, a planet's orbit, and finally, a period of 365 or 366 days.

Given the phrase "over the past year," the most obvious fit is sense 4, the 365-day period.

I should verify this, though, especially since sense 3 deals with the astronomical revolution around the sun. Let's look at the WordNet definitions for senses 3 and 4 again. Sense 3, as I anticipated, is highly astronomical. This is not the case for our text. Sense 4, however, states that it is a period of time containing 365 days, which aligns perfectly with what I'm looking for.

Yes, sense 4 is the clear winner here. "Over the past year" undeniably refers to a duration of time, specifically the past 365 days, and sense 4 nails that definition.

**Analyzing the "Year" Context**

Okay, so the target is "year," and the surface form is, well, "year." Seems straightforward. Let's look at the context: "...over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year..." Right away, the phrase "last year" jumps out. We're clearly dealing with a time period here. The system has provided some candidate senses, and I need to pick the best fit.

Sense 1: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days." Bingo! That fits perfectly with the idea of "last year" and "past year." We're talking about a unit of time, a calendar year, or a 365-day period preceding the current one. The examples even include ages, which further reinforces that this sense is the most relevant.

Sense 2, relating to a specific part of a calendar year dedicated to an activity, doesn't really work here. We aren't discussing an event or period within the year, just the whole year itself.

Sense 3, a graduating class, is definitely off the mark.

Sense 4, the time it takes for a planet to orbit its star, is completely irrelevant in this context.

So, it's clear: sense 1, "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days," is the only logical choice based on this specific usage of "year" in "last year." This is a quick and clean disambiguation.

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

Okay, so the target word is "figure," and it's used in the sentence "the lowest figure since 1995." My initial thought is to run through the possible senses. Let's see... a diagram or picture, a unitary percept... no, not right. Human body or impression? Nope. Wait, the percentage— that's a *number*! Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Sense 5 pops out: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with the synonym "number." That seems promising.

Let's quickly rule out other contenders. Sense 7, "digit," is too specific (0-9). Sense 13, "amount of money," doesn't fit a percentage. Definitely not a "figure of speech" or any of the other physical connotations. Back to Sense 5. The definition aligns perfectly: the "lowest figure" means the lowest *number*. Just to be thorough, let's confirm this in WordNet. Okay, there it is: "figure, number (the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals)." The example usage in WordNet even echoes the statistical context.

Yes, sense 5, meaning "number," is the correct interpretation. The phrase "the lowest figure" clearly refers to the lowest statistical value. Therefore, I can confidently identify sense 5 as the appropriate meaning in this context.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Support"**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "support" in the phrase "rising support for private enterprise." My initial thought is to consider the context; it's likely about public approval or favor for an idea. I quickly generated a few candidate senses: musical part, immaterial assistance, financial resources, physical bearing, structure, providing for, bearing weight, aiding a cause.

Let's drill down. Senses 2 ("immaterial assistance") and 8 ("aiding the cause") seem like the frontrunners. Sense 2 offers an example, "the policy found little public support." Sense 8 presents "the president no longer has the support of his own party." I have a feeling the former is correct.

I'm thinking about WordNet’s distinctions. Sense 2 is a noun related to abstraction/psychological feature/cognition/information – immaterial assistance, while Sense 8 is an activity. The context of "rising support" indicates a growing attitude, which can be quantified; that leans me towards approval, a measure of favor. In essence, is it an *act* or a measure of *favor*?

I see in the examples for Sense 2: "the policy found little public support," and for Sense 8: "the president no longer has the support of his own party." The structure of "rising support for private enterprise" mirrors the "public support" example. Synonyms and definitions back this. Sense 8 seems to refer to action, like providing for or aiding. Sense 2 is a resource or source of aid.

The phrase "public support" fits Sense 2, and "support for" private enterprise is very similar to it. I want to check the exact phrase "rising support for private enterprise." Ah! "the policy found little public support" is the perfect parallel. Sense 8 is an activity. Sense 2 is "something providing immaterial assistance."

I am getting closer to the right sense: "rising support" suggests attitude or favor, which is often measured by polls. Could it be about "aiding the cause" (Sense 8)? Let me double-check WordNet. Sense 2, the one I am leaning towards, is about "something providing immaterial assistance." Sense 8 is about the *activity* of "aiding the cause."

"Support for private enterprise" means people favor it. "in favor of" equals immaterial assistance. WordNet's Sense 8 is in the "act" category. Sense 2 is in the "cognition" or "state" category.

Now that I check the lex file, 1:09 is noun.cognition. Ah! "support" as public approval is typically noun.cognition in WordNet because it reflects attitudes or beliefs. "rising support" implies positive attitudes.

I double-checked, 1:09 is noun.cognition, and 04 is noun.act. Is "support for private enterprise" an act or a cognition? "rising support" measured by "71% of respondents..." clearly leans toward attitudes, beliefs, or opinions – cognition. Therefore, Sense 2 (1:09:00) is the most appropriate, as it mirrors the "public support for a policy" example perfectly.

**Analyzing "Respondents" in Survey Data**

Okay, so we're talking about a survey or opinion poll here. The phrases "polls began" and "respondents across Latin America...say that..." immediately clue me in. My initial thought is to make sure I'm using the right definition of "respondents." It seems straightforward, but I like to be precise. I'm noting the two main senses of the word. Sense 1, as I recall, refers to a codefendant in a divorce case, a legal term. But, the second sense, Sense 2, and the correct one for our purposes, refers to someone giving a response, likely to a survey or poll. Based on the context, there's no question the second sense, the one referring to survey participants, is the one we need. That's the correct interpretation.

**Deconstructing "Development" in Economic Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at "development" in the context of economic progress, specifically in Latin America. The phrase "private enterprise is indispensable for development" is key. My initial thought is to consider the common senses of the word. Clearly, we aren't talking about biological development (Sense 1), or a "district" (Sense 3), or resource "exploitation" (Sense 4). I need to nail down the precise economic nuance.

I consider Sense 2, "act of improving...expanding or enlarging or refining," but it doesn't quite click. This feels more like "research and development," not national economic progress. Sense 5, on the other hand, "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)" - that's interesting. The synonyms "evolution" is a compelling fit for an economy evolving.

Then Sense 7 comes into focus: "a state in which things are improving." This seems relevant too, but it feels more like an outcome. "Development" could be both a process and a state, or the outcome of a process. "The development of a country" could mean a process (economic growth) or the state of being improved (a developed country). This is where the context becomes crucial. I need to clarify "development" in "indispensable for development".

I recall the phrase "international development" and how it's often framed as a state of improvement. I review the WordNet senses and the examples, and I remember the "evolution of Greek civilization" example in Sense 5.

Okay, let's step back and analyze this more systematically. The context mentions "make their country developed." This indicates a *transition* to a more advanced state. This makes me lean towards Sense 5 as being especially relevant here. "Make their country developed" relates to the adjective "developed", which is a state of being advanced. Sense 5 is: "passing to a more advanced or mature stage". So, I'm thinking of "economic development" as the *process* of reaching that state.

Let me search for the exact phrase "private enterprise is indispensable for development" or similar phrases. Usually, it's about the process of evolving (Sense 5) or the state of improving (Sense 7).

I also look at SemCor and how they annotate "development" in the sense of economic progress. I suspect it's Sense 5, and I confirm this. Sense 5 aligns perfectly with the societal and economic development.

I keep reviewing, Sense 7: "a state in which things are improving; the result of developing". In this case, it means the state of things, but in this case, the context refers to "making a country developed", not just the state of things.

Ultimately, I'm confident that Sense 5, the process of evolving to a more advanced stage, is the most accurate interpretation for "development" in this context. It captures the essence of a nation's economic progress and transition. It's the "evolution" to a "developed" state. So, I will choose 5.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Chart"**

Okay, the target word is "chart" and I need to determine its intended meaning within this passage. The surrounding text indicates something about survey results. "…some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for development, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6)." Right, "chart 6" seems to be a reference. Let's see... looking at the possible senses, I have:

1.  A visual display of information.
2.  A map designed to assist navigation.

Given the context of survey results and statistical data, the second definition just doesn't fit. A "map" doesn't make sense here. "Chart 6" is clearly referring to a visual representation of statistical data, showing percentages over time. Therefore, the first sense, the "visual display of information" is the correct one. It's a graph, or figure, conveying the survey data. Case closed.

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

Okay, the target is "system," and the surface form is, well, "system." The surrounding text mentions a "market economy." Right away, I'm thinking, "economic system." I have a list of potential senses to consider, and let's go through them methodically: physiology, physical chemistry, orderliness, a unified whole of elements (synonym: scheme), methods or rules governing behavior, organizational structure, instrumentality, a procedure, and then the living body.

Sense 4, "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole," feels immediately relevant. The example provided, "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption," *perfectly* describes an economy. It's a "scheme" of interrelated elements. But let's not jump to conclusions; let's review the others, just to be thorough.

Sense 5, "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior," is intriguing, the "system of rules." It's not *wrong*, but it feels a bit less precise than the unified whole description. The given example also works with sense 4: a system of production and distribution.

Back to Sense 4. It really nails the economic system concept. "A system of production," that's right there. An economic system *is* defined by interconnected elements. There's really nothing else in the candidates that could come close.

So, rereading the sentence: "the market economy is the only system" – I am sure. Sense 4 it is, hands down. We're talking about a unified whole, a "scheme," of production, distribution, consumption… that's exactly what an economic system is. I can confidently rule out the other candidate senses as being less accurate.

**Deconstructing the Meaning of "Country" in Context**

Okay, here's how I'm thinking through this. The target word is "country," specifically in the phrase "...make their country developed..." My initial reaction is that this phrase is pointing to the political and economic entity of a nation.

I'm quickly running through potential senses. First, there's the people living within a nation – a kind of aggregated societal mood. Then, a geographical region, perhaps with fuzzy boundaries. Next, and this feels most relevant given the context, a politically organized group under a single government: the state, the nation. Fourth, it could mean rural areas, outside of cities. And finally, the actual territory occupied by that nation.

The critical part is "make their country developed." This screams economic and political development, right? So, are we developing the *people*, the *territory*, or the *state*? In economics, when we talk about a "developed country" or "developing country," we're clearly talking about something like a political/economic entity (sense 3, the politically organized body), or perhaps its territory (sense 5).

Let's test this. I should look up "developed country" in WordNet, but I won't. I'll think through this myself. Sense 3 versus Sense 5. "Make their country developed". Is it the people or the land? When we talk about "developing country" or "developed country", we are referring to the state/nation or the territory.

Now, let's consider example phrases. "African nations" clearly aligns with sense 3 (the state). "He visited several European countries" sounds more like sense 5 (territory). Which is it in my prompt? In "make their country developed," what is "country" implying? The nation as a state. The politically organized body of people.

Ah! The market economy is a system applied to a state/nation.

Okay, let's consider an example: "...make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view... even though their left-wing president... is expropriating..." In this situation, "country" definitely refers to the nation-state.

Now to recap: Sense 3: state, nation, commonwealth, res publica, body politic (examples like "the state has elected a new president," "African nations"). Sense 5: state, land (examples like "he returned to the land of his birth," "he visited several European countries").

Now, "developed country" typically *implies* the nation as an economic/political entity, so Sense 3 feels very solid.

Just to be absolutely sure, let's consult WordNet for "developing country." Hypernym is "country" (sense 3).

Wait, let's solidify the WordNet structure: "developing country: a country that is poor and whose citizens are mostly agricultural workers but that wants to become more advanced socially and economically." Hypernyms: country, state, nation (sense 3).

Therefore, by extension, a "developed country" also relates to sense 3.

Therefore, sense 3 it is!

Checking the context again: "...make their country developed..." The antecedent of "their" is the respondents, people, who belong to a politically organized body of people – a nation.

**Sense 3 is the correct answer.**

**Analyzing the Implication of "Last Year"**

Okay, so I'm looking at this and the key phrase is "last year." This immediately triggers a review of how that term is used, and what it implies in the context. We're clearly talking about some kind of data comparison, so the time frame is critical.

Let's break down the options. Candidate 1, "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days," lines up perfectly. It's the standard, most common understanding of a "year," the one we instinctively reach for when we say something happened "last year" or compare it to the "current year." It’s basically the calendar year. This one seems most probable.

Then there’s Candidate 2, the "school year". This is also a 12-month period, but this meaning is not the default that springs to mind, and would be less likely in most contexts.

Candidate 3, the astronomical year, which, while technically a "year", seems less likely without specific context, and I can't see this being the intent here.

And lastly, Candidate 4, the “graduating class”. While it *represents* a year, it's not a period of time, so this isn't in contention.

Therefore, "last year" almost certainly refers to the immediately preceding calendar year, or twelve-month period. Candidate 1 is the obvious and correct fit.

**Analyzing the Poll Data**

Okay, here's what's running through my mind as I process this information. We're looking at a poll conducted throughout Latin America, and the focus is on how people answered certain questions – things like their views on crime, private enterprise, and so forth. The crucial term here is "respondents." It's clear that it refers to the individuals who participated and provided answers to the poll questions.

My immediate instinct is to lock onto the most straightforward interpretation: "someone who responds." That's the obvious fit – the *answerer*, the *responder*. It's what the data is all about. While I acknowledge there's a second, more obscure, definition of "respondent," the second definition, the "codefendant," just doesn't apply in this context. It's a legal term, especially relating to divorce proceedings, and completely irrelevant to analyzing poll data. Therefore, I can confidently dismiss it. My focus, without needing any further assessment, is entirely on the first definition.

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

Okay, here's what I'm thinking. The target word is "view," and the surface form is, well, "view." The context is: "...62% of respondents in Venezuela *hold that view* (and 80% there back private enterprise)..." My job is to determine the correct sense of "view" in this sentence.

First, I consider the candidate senses. I see definitions ranging from a general *way of regarding things* (sense 1), to graphic art, to a *message expressing a belief* (sense 3), and then a *personal belief or judgment* (sense 4). The context is "hold that view," and that's the key phrase.

My immediate thought is that "hold that view" means "hold that opinion/belief." Sense 4, the "personal belief or judgment," seems like a strong contender. I need to differentiate between sense 3 and 4 though. Sense 3 seems more like the act of *expressing* that belief, while sense 4 describes the internal *belief* itself. "Holding a view" usually points to the internal belief, that's sense 4.

I start to zero in on sense 4. The synonyms are *opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought*. Then I recall sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics". But "hold the view" is more about holding an opinion, I think. WordNet doesn't list "hold the view" as a multiword expression.

Looking at sense 4 directly – "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty" – the example "my opinion differs from yours" is very relevant. This "hold that view" phrasing matches "hold that opinion".

Let's look at sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." - examples: "consider what follows from the positivist view."
This looks like an abstract way of looking at a subject. The context includes "the market economy is the only system..." This is very specifically a belief or judgment, not a general perspective.

So, it's either sense 4 or 1. If I have to choose, sense 4 is most exact. Sense 3, "a message expressing a belief," doesn't feel right because the context is about *holding* the belief, not expressing it. "Political views" – that is usually sense 4.

Looking at "hold that view" in the context of: "the market economy is the only system..." This is a belief. Sense 4.

Rereading the text: "62% of respondents in Venezuela *hold that view*"... "that view" is the belief "the market economy is the only system..." This is a personal belief or judgment.

I am re-reading the senses to eliminate alternatives. Sense 1 doesn't fit – "the market economy is the only system..." is a specific proposition, not a general perspective.

**Therefore, after careful consideration, I'm confident that the correct sense is sense 4: view%1:09:04: a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty.**
