Target lemma: increase
Target surface form: increase
Context:
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 shortage 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. Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an <t>increase</t> of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay. And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants).

**Analyzing the Semantic Nuances of "Increase"**

Okay, so the target is "increase" within the context of "an increase of between 0.6 and 0.9% in real long-term pay". I need to find the most accurate sense of "increase" from my candidates. Let's see...

Candidate 1, "a quantity that is added," sounds a bit too broad. "Addition" or "gain" doesn't quite capture the specific nuance here.

Candidate 2, "a change resulting in an increase," is closer but still a bit vague. It's the *result* of an increase, not the increase itself.

Candidate 3, "a process of becoming larger," is also off. While an increase involves becoming larger, this phrase is referring to a specific *amount* of change.

Candidate 4, "the amount by which something increases," with the example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare," that's getting warmer. This sounds promising.

Candidate 5, "the act of increasing something," that's the *action* of increasing, again, not what I'm looking for here.

Okay, let's scrutinize Candidate 4 further. "The amount by which something increases." Now, the phrase in question is *precisely* "an increase of between 0.6 and 0.9%." It's a direct parallel in structure – an "increase *of* [a specific percentage]". The example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" mirrors this perfectly. It is the amount that pay, in this case, has increased.

Candidates 1, 2, 3, and 5 just don't capture this level of precision. Therefore, I'm confident Candidate 4 is the definitive, best-fit sense for "increase" in this specific context. This is the correct sense key for the word.

**Deconstructing "Fact" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target is the word "fact" in the phrase "taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas". My initial instinct is to consider that "the fact that..." is introducing something verifiable, a truth, a known event or circumstance. The usual suspects seem to be sense 1 ("a piece of information about circumstances that exist"), sense 3 ("an event known to have happened"), or sense 4 ("a concept whose truth can be proved").

Now, given "the fact that the diversity..." my initial lean is toward sense 1, as that phrase typically functions as an introduction to a piece of information, a circumstance, or something that is known. But I should confirm this. Let's see what WordNet has to offer.

Looking at WordNet, sense 1 is "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred". Sense 2 covers a "statement or assertion". Sense 3 is more like "an event known to have happened". And finally, sense 4 would be "a concept whose truth can be proved."

Considering "the fact that the diversity..." it's most reasonable to associate "fact" with "a piece of information about circumstances that exist." Sense 1 seems the most appropriate. Although some dictionaries may include the phrase "the fact that..." as an example of sense 1, I should still consider other possibilities. Is it a statement, an event, or a concept that is proven? It's not an event, so sense 3 is out, and it's not a statement (sense 2), nor is it a concept that has to be proven (sense 4), in this case.

I would also double check the WordNet nouns to confirm the hierarchy: fact%1:09:01:: is often used for pieces of information; fact%1:09:02:: is a subclass of `concept`; fact%1:10:01:: is a subclass of `statement`; and fact%1:26:01:: is a subclass of `event`.

Given that, the phrase describes a circumstance that exists: The diversity contributed by immigrants, which is what would most closely resemble sense 1. The phrase "taking into account the fact that..." introduces information, therefore sense_index 1 is the correct selection.

**My Analysis of "Diversity" in This Context**

Okay, so the key word here is "diversity," and I need to figure out which sense of the word is being used in this sentence about immigrants contributing to ideas and economic growth. My initial thought process involves parsing the potential meanings. I know "diversity" can mean *noticeable heterogeneity* – think "diverseness," "multifariousness," "variety" – and it can also refer to the *condition or result of being changeable*.

Let's apply this. Thinking about immigrants and their contribution, the context clearly indicates that "diversity" refers to the *variety* they bring: a mix of different backgrounds, viewpoints, and cultures. This creates a more heterogeneous environment that is fertile ground for new ideas and growth. That absolutely aligns with the first sense, the *noticeable heterogeneity* of different elements and ideas.

The second sense, changeability, doesn't quite fit the narrative of variety and contribution here. While immigrants may *lead* to change, that's not the *primary* meaning of "diversity" in this specific phrase. Therefore, the first sense – the variety and heterogeneity – is the intended meaning. I'm selecting Sense 1.

**My Reasoning on the Nuance of "Creation"**

Alright, the target is "creation" in the context of "the creation of ideas and to economic growth." Right off the bat, I have a few candidates popping into my head: "the human act of creating," an artifact, a beginning event, the act of starting something new, theological connotations, or everything that exists.

For "creation of ideas," it's likely a creative activity, but it could also be about originating something. So, I need to narrow this down. Let's look closely.

First, I consider "the human act of creating." That feels right—ideas are generated, made, and this concept speaks to that. I then consider "starting something new." "Origination" is a good synonym for that, and innovation too. But, I think "creative activity" might be more descriptive of bringing ideas into being.

To check, let's look at an example to help solidify my understanding: "the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas". The act of *producing* ideas, that's what's key.

In WordNet, I note that "creation%1:04:00::" is generally creating things, even art. It extends to concepts, ideas, any creation.

So, let's revisit that "human act of creating" concept. It fits. "The creation of ideas" means "bringing ideas into existence" is critical. It's the "act of creating."

I have to consider the alternative. "The act of starting something for the first time." That could be founding, institution, innovation. Used for organizations, processes, etc. But, that doesn't fit the 'ideas' context.

Considering all this, candidate 1, the human act of creating, seems like the most fitting definition for "the creation of ideas".

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Ideas"**

Okay, so the prompt gives me "ideas" within the phrase "the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth." I need to pinpoint the *exact* meaning of "ideas" here. Let's break down the candidate senses I've got:

First, there's the core concept of the "content of cognition," essentially the very stuff of thought. That's a strong contender. Then we have "intention," what I *plan* to do, my objective. Next comes "a personal view," which is interesting but feels too subjective for this context. We also have "an approximate calculation," essentially an "estimate," which is definitely off. And finally, there's the musical sense of a "melodic subject." Obviously, that's not what we're after.

Considering the surrounding text, particularly the phrase "the *creation* of ideas," it points directly toward innovation, conceptualization, and original thought. "Creation" strongly suggests that the term "ideas" refers to innovation.

So, when I consider the various potential senses, sense number one, the "content of cognition," is the clear winner here. It's the most appropriate fit for what we're trying to convey here.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Proportion"**

Okay, so the target word is "proportion," and the context is about naturalized immigrants and Nobel laureates. My initial thought is that this is about a *comparative quantity*, a *part of a whole*. I need to pinpoint the right sense here.

Let's see. Sense 1 is about a *quotient* from a division, but that usually applies to math. Hmmm... doesn't quite feel right in this context.

Then we have Sense 4: the *relation* of things based on *comparative quantity*. Synonyms like "ratio" are helpful. The examples given, like "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" and a "dry martini has a large proportion of gin," are useful.

Let's double-check. "A large proportion of gin" does feel similar to "a large proportion of naturalized immigrants," which suggests Sense 4 is likely correct.

I'm leaning towards Sense 4. But, let's just make certain by checking Sense 1 again. The quotient idea is not quite right and mathematically based. Examples from Sense 4 really do fit. "An inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations." Yes, that is right. I'm confident.

Therefore, Sense 4 is definitely the right interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Term "American" in Context**

Okay, so the prompt gives me "American Nobel prize winners." My brain immediately goes to disambiguating "American." Given my expertise, I instinctively know that "American" can have multiple meanings, and the right interpretation is crucial for proper context.

The surrounding text mentions immigrant contributions to economic growth and innovative ideas, highlighting US-based companies like Google, Intel, PayPal, eBay, and Yahoo. This contextual information acts as my first clue. It points very strongly toward the "American" referring to the *United States of America*, not the broader continents.

So, I'm quickly filtering through the possible senses. Sense 1 is "of or relating to the United States of America..." and Sense 2 is "of or relating to the continents and islands of the Americas..." Clearly, with the context given, Sense 1 is the appropriate definition. The text is discussing people recognized for their achievements within the US. The phrase is obviously referring to citizens of, or people associated with, the United States of America.

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

Okay, the target is "winner," and it appears as "winners" in the context of "...American Nobel prize winners...". My immediate reaction is to evaluate the senses. I've got three candidates: the victor of a contest, a winning gambler, and a person known for their success.

Initially, I'm leaning toward the first sense, "the contestant who wins the contest," given the context of a Nobel prize. It's a competition of sorts, even if it's not a head-to-head athletic match. The prize is being won. I'm viewing this broadly as a 'victory' of sorts, which fits with the synonyms provided – "victor."

However, I need to check my assumptions, so I'll quickly verify using external sources for typical collocations, like "Nobel Prize winner" and how it's defined in general usage. Again, my instinct points back to Sense 1: a person who wins the award. It's the standard definition; it's the clear winner.

Just to be thorough, I'm quickly eliminating other senses. I pause to review "a person with a record of successes." While a Nobel laureate is undoubtedly a successful person, the context specifically refers to winning the Nobel Prize. Therefore, while Sense 3 might be applicable in other cases (e.g., "only winners need apply"), it doesn't fit this specific phrase. Sense 1 has to be it. Given all of this analysis, I'm confident that the correct sense is the contestant who wins the contest.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Yahoo"**

Okay, so the target word is "Yahoo," and it's being presented alongside Google, Intel, PayPal, and eBay. Clearly, we're in the tech arena here. My initial thought process immediately focuses on the contextual clues. These are all prominent tech companies and platforms, so the likely meaning of "Yahoo" will be something tech-related.

Let's quickly run through the senses. We have the "unintelligent person" definition, which is possible, but seems unlikely given the context. Then, there's Swift's brutal race, which is an interesting concept, but again, doesn't feel right for this company context. Finally, there's the "search engine" definition, and that just clicks. It's the most obvious, the most relevant, and frankly, the only plausible one in this specific setting. It's the most likely candidate, by far. That's the one.

**Analyzing the Term "Contributors"**

Okay, so the word I need to understand is "contributors," and the context is about migrants and their impact on European social systems. My immediate thought is to consider the various senses of "contributors" – the nuances are key here. I'm thinking, in this context, it has to be about *financial* contributions. The passage specifically mentions "net contributors to social systems" and links it to "total budgets." That screams "money" to me, the net financial impact.

Therefore, the first sense – someone who contributes or promises to contribute money, a subscriber, that's the one that resonates. It aligns perfectly with the idea of receipts exceeding expenditure within public budgets. The other sense, a writer, just doesn't fit this context at all; it's a completely different semantic domain. The connection to the "total budgets" is the deciding factor, really. It's a precise financial calculation, not a matter of published work. The word "net" is telling too. This whole thing points directly to a balance sheet, and a net positive impact, financially speaking.

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

Okay, so the target word is "budgets," and the context is about migrants contributing to the "total budgets of European countries." My initial thought is to consider the two main senses: "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose" versus "a summary of intended expenditures."

Given that it’s about "total budgets," and a net contribution, my expert intuition immediately leans towards the government's financial plan. "Public budgets" typically refers to the state's finances, making sense 2, the "summary of intended expenditures," the obvious choice. I mean, we're talking about national finances here.

However, the phrase "1% of the total budgets" gives me pause. Is it 1% of the total financial plan, or 1% of the total amount? "The president submitted the annual budget to Congress" is a good example of sense 2. But, thinking it through, "1% of the total" implies a specific *amount*, a sum of money. The contribution is to the funds.

So, I re-read the sentence. I need to make a solid choice. If it's about contributing, do you contribute to a "summary" of expenditures, or the *amount* of the budget? A country has a budget of 1 trillion. Is that a plan or a sum?

Let me look closely at each sense, again. "A sum of money allocated..." and "a summary of intended expenditures..." The "sum of money" definition is more like "I have a $100 budget for groceries". But "public budgets" makes me think of government finances, or sense 2. However, can you contribute money to a "summary"? No, it goes to the sum of money.

Okay, let's step back. "Total budgets of European countries" – the volume of the "budget" *is* the sum of money. The financial plan of the government is a summary of income and expenditure.

So, "contributing 1% to the budget" - it's the sum of money. You are contributing to the total receipts of the government.

Wait. Government budgets are usually sense 2. I'm going back to sense 1 as I'm thinking about "amount of money". But 150,000 euros is an *amount*.

I'm oscillating. I keep returning to "total budgets" implying the *amount*. Ultimately, I need to choose one. In this instance, because we are talking about *contributions* to an overall figure, I'll go with **sense 1**, "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose". Yes, you can contribute money to the sum of money. I'm sure of it.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Labor" in "World Labor Organisation"**

Okay, so the target is "Labor" in "The World Labor Organisation," which I know is often referred to as the International Labour Organization (ILO). Since the context mentions the organization *estimates* something, I'm thinking it’s related to labor issues, obviously. Let's get to the senses...

I immediately consider the most relevant possibilities: is it the working class? Productive work itself? Or perhaps the labor movement as an organized body? I had also glanced at the other less relevant meanings.

Given that it's the "World Labor Organisation", it's clearly related to work and workers. Often, "labor" in these contexts falls into either productive work or the social class of workers. I consider all of the possibilities presented, considering how to think like this and what the best interpretation is.

I then check with WordNet but realize that "World Labor Organisation" isn't a specific entry. I compare with similar phrases, such as "Department of Labor", "labor union," etc., which often lean toward sense 1, 2, or sometimes 4. "International Labour Organisation" clearly focuses on labor issues, which are about either "productive work" (sense 2) or workers' rights. I considered sense 1, and thought about the meaning of "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field".

In the case of "World Labor Organisation", is it about the work itself (sense 2) or the workers (sense 1)? Both are relevant, but how to select the best?

"Department of Labor" uses the word "labor" as well, and I considered both sense 1 and sense 2.

I considered sense 4, as in "an organized attempt by workers", but that seemed too narrow. Then, I remember "labor market" and "labor organization", which make me think of senses 1 and 2, but often sense 1. Actually, "labor organization" usually means an organization of workers. However, I reconsider, and notice that the "International Labour Organisation" regulates "productive work" (sense 2) *and* workers' rights. So, sense 2 is more inclusive.

I then start to rethink about sense 4: is "labor organization" actually a trade union? But then I remember that the WLO is a global body, so sense 2 – the domain of work itself – is better. I go back to sense 1: the social class. I've re-reviewed each sense, and concluded that sense 2 (productive work) is the best fit, because it relates to work and employment more generally.

**My Analysis of "Organisation" in "The World Labor Organisation"**

Okay, so the target is "Organisation," specifically within the phrase "The World Labor Organisation." My initial thoughts immediately go to the potential senses – it's a group of people, an institution, a formal structure, that kind of thing. I quickly consider a range of possibilities: administration, a governing body, the "group of people" sense, the concept of organized structure, even the act of organizing a business. Also, something like distributing or forming, but those seem less likely.

But then, the context clicks – "The World Labor Organisation" – like the World Health Organization or the International Labour Organization. That strongly suggests sense 2: a group of people who work together. That's the typical "organization" synset for an institution, a company, a club, you know, that kind of thing.

Let me just check WordNet to be absolutely certain. Yep, there it is: organisation%1:14:00:: "a group of people who work together," with "organization" as a synonym. And then, there's organisation%1:14:01:: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something."

Considering the context, "The World Labor Organisation" refers to the entity itself, the institution. That absolutely nails sense 2.

Yep, the entity itself. Sense 2 is the correct one here, without a doubt. It’s organization as a group. Done.

**Analyzing the Word "Age" in Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at the phrase "an immigrant arriving at the age of 30" and need to determine the correct sense of "age." My initial thought is that it could be "how long something has existed" (Sense 1), a historic period (Sense 2 - unlikely here), or "a time of life" (Sense 3). The key here is "age of 30." Is it a measure of duration or a stage?

Let's break it down. Sense 1 is clear: the duration, like "replaced because of its age." Sense 3 is about a defined time, like "school age," a specific point in life. I need to make sure I'm not confusing this. The WordNet entry "age%1:07:00::" seems to cover the general age of a thing, while "age%1:28:00::" seems to cover "time of life". I have to remember this.

Now, if we re-read the sentence: "arriving at the age of 30" - this suggests he has existed for 30 years. It's the "how long something has existed" interpretation. It's a measure, so Sense 1, "age%1:07:00::" is the best fit.

Let me test this out, though. The phrase "age of 30" is a point in life, a specific time of life. What about "at the age of"? Usually, I think of "at the age of [number]," so I need to check the WordNet examples.

Wait, another dataset maps "age of 30" to Sense 1 or Sense 3! "age" as a property/attribute is Sense 1. "age" as a time period is Sense 3. But in this case, "arriving at the age of 30" means "when his age was 30." It's a measurement of how long he's lived, a quantity of time, so Sense 1 is still what I believe.

Rereading Sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises," like "school age." 30 isn't a qualification. So I am certain it's Sense 1.

"His age is 30" makes perfect sense with "how long something has existed." "Arriving at the age of 30" means arriving at the time of 30 years lived. So, I will select Sense 1. I'm confident.

**Defining "Contribution" in Context**

Okay, so we're talking about an immigrant and their financial impact, specifically a net "contribution" of 150,000 Euros to public budgets. Right, the key here is what "contribution" actually *means* in this specific context. Let's see... I've got a few options here: part played, voluntary gift, act of giving in common, an amount of money contributed, or a writing for publication. Obviously, the last one is way off. We're dealing with Euros, a specific amount.

"Part played" doesn't quite capture it. The context isn't about *how* the person participated, but the financial result. "Voluntary gift" is closer, but "contribution" can be more general than a *gift* - it could be taxes, or spending. "Act of giving in common" is also not quite right, it is a bit too abstract for this context.

Looking closely at this net figure, the language uses "receipts less expenditure," it’s clearly an amount of money. The context specifically mentions a *net* amount. Candidate 4, "an amount of money contributed," that's it! It fits perfectly. Let's make sure. "an amount of money contributed" – and the context says "...will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets..." Bingo. It's exactly the right definition. That's a good definition in this context.

**Deconstructing "Expenditure"**

Okay, so the word I need to nail down is "expenditure," specifically in the context of "receipts less expenditure" generating a 150,000 Euro contribution to public budgets. This is a simple accounting problem. I'm going to quickly parse the possible meanings to find the best fit.

Candidate 1 presents itself as "money paid out; an amount spent." This aligns nicely with the phrase "receipts less expenditure," which clearly involves subtracting an outflow (spending) from an inflow (receipts). The comparison is between amounts of money: one coming in, one going out.

Candidate 2, "the act of spending money for goods or services," also sounds relevant, but it's the *action* rather than the *amount* that is the definition.

Candidate 3, “the act of consuming something,” is, of course, related to spending, but not as directly as spending money.

Therefore, Candidate 1, "money paid out; an amount spent," is the correct definition here. It is a straight dollar value comparison. The "expenditure" represents the total amount of money *spent*.

**My Analysis of "Average" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "average," and the context is an immigrant's financial contribution. My initial thought is that "average" could be a statistic, a sports ratio, or a "normal" value. But "an average of 150,000 Euros" immediately points me towards a mathematical average, likely the mean.

Let's see. In WordNet, there are two potential senses. Sense 1 is "a statistic describing the location of a distribution," essentially a "norm," while sense 3 is "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual."

Hmm, it's about the mean contribution of many immigrants, so it's a statistic calculated over a group. I'm thinking sense 1 is the most technically appropriate. However, looking at the examples, "it set the norm for American homes" feels different.

The phrase "an average of 150,000" strongly implies a mean value, a statistic derived from a set of data. Sense 1's hypernym is "statistic" so let's refine this, to be more precise, and focus on the mean value calculated. It fits better as a "statistic describing the location of a distribution". This is indeed the case. 150,000 is a "quantity/amount representing the expected or mean value." The World Labor Organisation, in this case, calculated a mean, so that is the perfect fit.

I will choose sense 1, as the clear winner. The average is the calculated mean.

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

Okay, the target word is "budgets," specifically within the phrase "public budgets during his lifetime." I need to determine if it refers to the financial plan itself (sense 2: the summary) or the actual sum of money allocated (sense 1). The context is a "net contribution of 150,000 Euros to public budgets." My immediate thought is that this contribution is going *into* the overall financial resources, the governmental pool of funds – so sense 1, the allocated sum, seems more likely.

However, "public budget" often *implies* the financial statement. But this contribution is *to* the public budget, and thus paying into it. Sense 1 sounds right: the allocated sum. But, hold on; it could still connect to sense 2: contributing to the budget implies an addition to the sum of money (sense 1).

Let's dig deeper: the passage mentions "averaging 1% of the total budgets of European countries." Ah, "1% of the total *budgets*" strongly suggests percentages of monetary amounts. This reinforces sense 1, as we're clearly talking about sums of money, not summaries. I think we have our answer. Let's look at the previous sentence to confirm: also, "averaging 1% of the total budgets of European countries" confirms that we are dealing with monetary amounts. Thus, sense 1 is correct.

**Analyzing Sarkozy's Initial Goals**

Okay, so we're looking at Sarkozy's initial agenda, specifically his desire to find "missing points of growth" early in his tenure. The term "mandate" is key here, and I need to be precise. Let's break down the possible meanings. First, we have the literal sense – a formal directive or order. Not quite right in this context. Then, the historical definition of a territory surrendered, clearly irrelevant. Finally, we arrive at the core meaning: the authority and policy platform granted to a government leader following an election. Bingo! Sense three is the perfect fit. It accurately reflects the commission and power Sarkozy held after his electoral victory, setting the stage for his growth initiatives. Now that we have that firmly established, we can delve deeper into what those "missing points of growth" might have entailed.

**Analyzing "Growth" in the Context of Sarkozy's Mandate**

Okay, the target word is "growth." Right away, I see the phrase "points of growth" used by Sarkozy. That immediately signals we're talking about *economic* growth, an increase in economic activity or value. So far, so good, pretty straightforward.

Now, let's nail down the specific sense. I'm seeing three potential senses. Hmm, sense 3 (growth%1:22:02::) seems like the strongest contender. That definition is about becoming *larger*, *longer*, *more numerous*, or *more important* – essentially, an *increase* or *increment*. The examples given – unemployment, population – directly relate to an expansion, a quantifiable rise. This lines up perfectly with "points of growth" when we're talking about economic metrics. It's the quantitative aspect that fits.

Sense 2 is about progression from simpler to more complex forms, which doesn't seem quite right in this case. The key is that we are trying to *find* the points of growth. So sense 3 is better.

Yes, sense 3 appears to be the most accurate, especially when we're specifically looking for those "points," some quantifiable increase in economic size or value.

**Deconstructing the Phrase "The Teeth in Question"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "question" within the context of "The teeth in question, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants...". My initial instinct is that "in question" is an idiom here, and it's pointing to the subject under discussion, the central point. I'm thinking it's referring to the item, in this case, the teeth, that are being talked about.

Let me quickly verify that. Sense 2 of question is "the subject matter at issue". That seems right. Just to be sure, the phrase "in question" means the matter or thing under discussion.

Now, let's consider the possible senses. We've got:

1.  An instance of questioning
2.  The subject matter at issue
3.  A sentence of inquiry
4.  Uncertainty
5.  A formal proposal
6.  Marriage proposal

Given the phrase, "The teeth in question" meaning, it’s clear that "the teeth that are the subject matter at issue" or "the teeth that are under discussion," is the best fit. I'm confident that sense 2 is the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Phrase "Precisely the Opposite Effect"**

Okay, so the target word here is "effect" within the phrase "precisely the opposite effect." Let's break this down. The context strongly suggests we're dealing with a policy or action that backfired – intended to discourage immigrants but, in reality, having the inverse impact.

My initial thought is that we're talking about a *consequence* or *outcome*. Looking at the word's senses, that seems spot on. Sense 1, specifically – "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" – is the clear winner. The synonyms listed – consequence, outcome, result, event, issue, upshot – all reinforce this. None of the other senses, like outward appearance, impression, central meaning, legal validity, or a symptom, make sense in this context. It's a straightforward case of cause and effect, where the desired cause didn't produce the anticipated effect.

**Analyzing the Monetary Meaning of "Pound"**

Okay, so the target word is "pound," and the context is a "multi-million pound fine." Immediately, my mind jumps to the financial interpretation. I have to parse through the possible currency meanings: British pound, Syrian pound, Sudanese pound, Lebanese pound, Irish pound, Egyptian pound, and Cypriot pound. Considering the magnitude of the fine, it's very likely to be referring to a major currency.

My first instinct, based on common usage and the English-speaking world's default, is that it's the British pound sterling. The context of a "multi-million pound fine" makes this the default interpretation unless explicitly stated otherwise. Even a US-based news source might use "pounds" for a large fine to give a direct comparison.

Then I paused – Deutsche Bank is a German institution, which is a key observation. However, the wording "multi-million pound fine" still heavily implies currency, and again, my immediate association remains the British pound. After all, "pound" in that context screams currency.

Therefore, sense index 2 is the most logical: "the basic unit of money in Great Britain and Northern Ireland; equal to 100 pence". I'm dismissing the other definitions – weight (sense 1) and unit of force (sense 10) – as they simply don't fit the context. Therefore, my selection is sense 2.

**Analyzing the Context of "USA"**

Okay, so I'm looking at "Deutsche Bank pays multi-million pound fine in the USA." My task is to determine the correct meaning of "USA" here. The context is pretty clear: it's talking about a place where a financial penalty is being levied. My mind immediately jumps to the two main senses of "USA" that I'm familiar with. The first, and most obvious, is the North American republic – the United States of America, the country. The second sense is "United States Army," though this is less common in everyday discourse. Since we're dealing with a financial transaction and a penalty, it's pretty self-evident that the first sense, the country itself, is the correct interpretation. The fine is being paid *in* the country, not to an army. Case closed. Moving on...
