**Analyzing the Context of "Labor"**

Okay, so the target word is "labor," and I need to figure out its meaning in this sentence: "But experience shows that in reality immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local <t>labor</t>, exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor."

Let's see, the system has provided me with a few potential senses. The first one, "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages," jumps out immediately. It includes synonyms like "working class" and "proletariat," and the example "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field" is especially relevant.

Considering the context, "local labor" clearly refers to the local workforce or workers. The sentence is talking about immigrants being complementary to the existing workforce, filling shortages in specific trades. The idea of "labor" as a collective noun for workers aligns perfectly.

Given the close match between the definition, synonyms, and the provided example sentence, I'm confident that sense 1, the "social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages," is the intended meaning here. The other senses just don't fit the context or the core meaning of the sentence.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Trades"**

Okay, the target word is "trades" – a plural noun. My focus is on understanding it within this specific sentence: "...immigrants are much more complementary to, rather than replacements of, local labor, exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor."

Let's break down the candidate senses I'm considering. We've got: commercial exchange, skilled occupations, business given to an establishment, an instance of buying/selling, people in skilled work, steady winds (definitely not right!), and equal exchange.

Now, let's analyze the context. The key phrase is "exercising trades in which there is a shortage of local labor." This phrase, combined with the context about immigrants being complementary to local labor, screams *occupations*, *professions*, or *crafts* to me. I'm thinking about *what* people are *doing* – the *skills* they are using.

Therefore, Sense 2 – "the skilled practice of a practical occupation" – is the clear winner. The synonym "craft" really nails it, doesn’t it? "Exercising trades" is completely in line with someone practicing an occupation or a craft. Sense 2 is the most appropriate and relevant meaning here.

**Analyzing the Target Word "Shortage"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "shortage" in the sentence "...exercising trades in which there is a <t>shortage</t> of local labor." Let's dive in. I'm seeing two potential senses, according to my initial analysis.

Sense 1: *shortage%1:07:00::* – the idea of a deficit or shortfall, which implies a quantifiable amount. The definition nails it: "the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required." It's about a magnitude, a size of the discrepancy.

Sense 2: *shortage%1:26:00::* – this one speaks of an acute insufficiency, a dearth or famine. It feels like a *state* rather than a specific *amount*.

Now, the sentence itself. "Shortage of local labor"... Hmmm. Does this phrase scream "magnitude" or "state"? To me, it's about the *condition* of not having enough labor. I'm leaning towards Sense 2.

Let's do a deeper dive using WordNet. Examining Sense 2, the hypernym is "insufficiency," which feels perfect. The hyponyms include "food shortage" – the word here is used to describe a *state* of not having enough food. That clinches it. "Shortage of [something]" typically indicates Sense 2: a dearth, a famine, an acute insufficiency.

To be thorough, let's consider Sense 1's WordNet. Its hypernym is "magnitude," which is the property of relative size or extent. The hyponyms include "credit crunch" or "liquidity squeeze," which are magnitudes or quantifiable amounts. "Deficit, shortage, shortfall" – the idea of a magnitude, an amount that's less than needed. That doesn't really fit the sentence.

So, when someone says "there is a shortage of local labor," they're talking about an insufficiency, a dearth, and this is clearly Sense 2. It's a state of not having enough, not a specific quantifiable deficit. Sense 2 is the correct interpretation. I'm confident.

Okay, here's my interpretation of that text, presented as my own thought process:

**Analyzing "Shortage of Local Labor"**

Right, so we're talking about trades where there's a "shortage of local labor." Immediately, my mind jumps to the different senses of "labor" we need to consider. We have two key definitions here. First, "labor" as a **social class** – the working class, the proletariat – the people *themselves*. The second definition refers to "productive work," specifically physical work done for wages – the *activity* or *process* of labor.

Looking at the example provided for the first sense – "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field" – it clicks. That's a direct parallel to the phrasing we're dealing with. The phrase 'shortage of skilled labour' is about the *workers*.

Therefore, the context points decisively to the first sense, the **working class or the workforce** itself, not just the abstract concept of work. "Local labor" here means **local workers**, and the shortage directly refers to the availability of these local workers within these trades.

**My Reasoning Process for Sense Disambiguation of "sectors"**

Okay, here's how I'm approaching this. The target word is "sectors," and I need to figure out which sense from WordNet is the best fit. I've got a few candidates in mind: the geometric sense, the military position sense, and the one about measuring instruments I'm immediately dismissing. I'm focusing on the senses related to "social groups" or "aspects of life/activity," particularly in an economic context.

My initial thought is to consider "economic sectors," so I go straight to the relevant senses from WordNet: `sector%1:14:00::` ("a social group that forms part of the society or the economy") and `sector%1:09:00::` ("a particular aspect of life or activity," synonymous with "sphere"). I need to figure out the conceptual difference and which is relevant here. I check the WordNet hierarchy to get a better understanding.

Now, I'm trying to decide if an economic sector (like an industrial sector or the tech sector) is best described as a social group or an aspect of activity. I'm carefully reading the definitions and examples, like the example for the social group sense: "the public sector." That feels relevant.

I need to confirm the definitions and consider the context: "sectors, which do not attract local labor" and "dynamic sectors". The phrase "does not attract local labor" suggests it's referring to particular trades/industries, so an "economic sector" seems like the appropriate interpretation. I'm asking myself, is an economic sector a social group, or an activity, or is it something in-between?

The phrase "forms part of the society or the economy" makes `sector%1:14:00::` a likely choice. "Does the phrase "which do not attract local labor" mean "economic sectors" or "social groups"? The context clarifies it is about areas of economic activity.

I'm thinking, "Is an industry or area of the economy classified under `sector%1:14:00` or `sector%1:09:00`?" And is there a significant difference in the WordNet sense for domain/sphere/field?

I explore the `domain%1:09:00::` synset and its hyponyms; it includes "sphere" and "sector," but as a specific "aspect of life or activity." Still, I feel like I'm circling the same point.

Now, I'm focusing on the crucial wording in the definition of `sector%1:14:00::`: "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy." I'm asking myself if "dynamic sectors" or "sectors which do not attract local labor" are best classified as a social group. The sectors are comprised of people and industries, so there is the "people" aspect of the definition.

I start to wonder if the sense `sector%1:14:00::` is more specific to entities like "the public sector" in particular, instead of a broader sense of "economic sector." Could economic sectors *also* be considered groups of people? I need to look into SemCor's usage to better grasp the connotations of each sense.

To clarify my interpretation, I check for the hyponyms (subtypes) of `sector%1:14:00::`. "Private sector" and "public sector" appear. This sense seems to group people within the economy. That makes me wonder if there are more sub-types of economic sectors. If economic sectors, broadly, are considered as `sector%1:14:00::`, it can be a "social group"

So then I look at the phrase, "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor." I need to determine if "sector" is an economic one. I think so, because "economic sector" seems the most appropriate.

Next, I check both senses. I return to the WordNet definitions. Sense 2 (`sector%1:14:00::`) explicitly includes "economy" in its definition. Sense 3 (`sector%1:09:00::`) is less relevant; it's about "a particular aspect of life or activity."

So, I search in WordNet for the noun senses of "sector" to narrow things down. There are only 6 senses, and I'm discarding the irrelevant ones. Now, I have Sense 2 (group) and Sense 3 (cognition).

The question is, which one is regularly used for "economic sectors"?

Then I think about "The manufacturing sector..." and I decide I need SemCor for usage examples. This gives more context in real-world examples.

**Analyzing "Labor" in Context**

Okay, so the word is "labor," and the sentence reads "...sectors, which do not attract local labor..." My initial task is to pin down the precise meaning. Let's run through the potential senses.

I've got a few: the working class (sense 1), productive work itself (sense 2), the medical context of childbirth (sense 3, which is obviously wrong here), the labor movement (sense 4), a political party (sense 5), a government department (sense 6), and finally, a project or task (sense 7). The context screams that it's got to be one of the first two.

The key phrase is "do not attract *local* labor." Immediately, the local aspect is a clear indicator. When we're talking about a "local" thing not being attracted to something, it suggests a human element - people. Looking back at the definitions, sense 1 defines "labor" as "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages," or, in more general terms, the "working class," or "workforce". This fits the context perfectly.

The example I saw for Sense 1, "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field," is almost identical. The text refers to "shortage of local labor" in a similar way: it has the same implication that it's talking about a workforce, not just work itself. So, based on the context, and the structure of the sentence, it’s definitively sense 1.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Ones"**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "ones" in this sentence about immigrant labor. The sentence structure itself is pretty straightforward: "...the most highly skilled ones..." Alright, so I need to figure out what "ones" is referring to here. It's obviously an anaphoric reference, a pronoun replacing a noun.

Let's look at the candidate senses. I've got two to work with. The first, sense_key "one%1:23:00::", refers to the number one itself, the integer. That doesn't make any sense in context, right? We're talking about *people* or *things* in relation to skills, not a numerical quantity.

The second sense, "one%1:09:00::", is much more likely. It defines "one" as a "single person or thing." Perfect! It's used as a substitute noun. My gut feeling is definitely leaning towards this definition. It perfectly fits the phrase: "the most highly skilled ones" is referencing the "most highly skilled *immigrants*".

To be absolutely sure, let's revisit each sense. Sense one is out. Sense two, a single person or thing, fits perfectly as a replacement for "immigrants," especially considering it's acting as a pronoun that's describing a specific attribute "highly skilled." So, it's pretty clear that sense index 2 is the correct interpretation. I'm satisfied.

**My Disambiguation Process for "sectors"**

Okay, here's how I'm thinking through this "sectors" disambiguation. First, I want to zero in on the context: "Unskilled immigrants work in sectors, which do not attract local labor and the most highly skilled ones in dynamic sectors where training does is not linked to offers of employment."  I'm immediately considering the candidate senses: the plane geometry sense, the track length sense, the military position sense, and the measuring instrument sense are clearly irrelevant here. I'm left with two primary contenders, "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy" (sense 2) versus "a particular aspect of life or activity" (sense 3).

My initial thought is that "economic sectors" fit into both, but let's see which one fits best. The WordNet definition for sense 2, "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy," sparks a question: does this really include *economic* sectors, like "dynamic sectors?" The example of "the public sector" suggests this *is* a relevant reading. It seems like economic sectors are described as a "social group" in WordNet, which is not what I expected. "The public sector," "the private sector" are all hyponyms of sector%1:14:00. This is all very important to establish.

Now, let's consider sense 3: "a particular aspect of life or activity," which feels a little broader. But then I have to clarify my thought and check the WordNet gloss again. The example here is “he was helpless in an important sector of his life."  This just doesn't quite fit the context of the economic spheres in the text. I begin to think of "sphere of the economy" -- if this sounds odd, it's not because I've not read the definitions properly. The definition for "a particular environment or walk of life" makes "sector" sound more apt.

So, I dig deeper into WordNet's structure.  "Sphere," "domain," "area," these words all make me think of this sense more as a "sphere of activity." But this feels too general. Then I check SemCor to see how "sector" is actually used in practice. There, I consistently find examples like "the agricultural sector," "the manufacturing sector." These are tagged in WordNet as sense 2 or sense 3. But I must be careful. I have to look carefully at the tagged data. I decide to re-examine my initial assumptions.

I then pause to recall: the context specifically mentions "dynamic sectors" which do not attract labor. It also notes "the economy."

Now, re-reading sense 2 definition: "a social group that forms part of the society or the economy." I see it includes "or the economy" in its definition! I remind myself that WordNet seems to classify "the private sector," "the public sector," and any collectives of entities in society/economy as a "social group."

I re-read sense 3 and realize the example is "in an important sector of *his life*". This doesn't make sense in the sentence, but then WordNet says this is synonymous with sphere, but there's a difference between "economic sectors," and spheres of a life.

Based on this analysis, sense 2: sector%1:14:00 is most likely, and is the correct sense for the word "sectors."

**My Analysis of "Training" in Context**

Okay, so the word I need to nail down is "training" as it's used in this sentence: "...dynamic sectors where *training* does is not linked to offers of employment." Immediately, I'm thinking, what are the likely senses here? Let's break it down.

My initial candidates jump out: Is it about the *activity* of acquiring a skill, like preparation or grooming, which I would classify as sense 1? Or, is it about a more general form of upbringing or education focused on social conduct, basically sense 2?

Considering the context of unskilled immigrants and dynamic sectors, the first sense – the activity that leads to skilled behavior – is the obvious winner. It relates directly to vocational or professional preparation, which is what I'd expect here given the mention of employment. The second sense, referring to upbringing and breeding, is completely off-base and doesn't fit the sentence's flow at all. We're clearly talking about skill development in a work-related environment. So, it's a solid match to sense 1: training%1:04:00::.

**Analyzing the Semantic Sense of "Offers" in a Job Context**

Okay, so I'm tackling the word "offers" in the phrase "...where training does is not linked to offers of employment." The target lemma is "offer," and I've got three candidate senses from WordNet to consider. First, there's "the verbal act of offering," then "something offered (as a proposal or bid)," and finally, "a usually brief attempt." Hmm, the context seems to suggest either a verbal action *or* something tangible, a "proposal" of some sort.

Let me delve into the WordNet hierarchy. Sense 1 is a "speech act," while Sense 2 is a "proposal." I need to determine if a "job offer" is a *verbal act* or a *proposal*. I'm thinking...a "job offer" is usually a proposal, a tangible *something* put forward. The term "job offer" doesn't have a direct entry in the WordNet.

I need to confirm that "offer of employment" is a "proposal" or "verbal act" related to a job. Let's look at the synonyms and definitions. Sense 2, "something offered (as a proposal or bid)," fits this like a glove. The *hyponyms* of Sense 2 include things like "tender, bid," which strengthens the case.

Then, there is the French translation context which says "offres d'emploi" translates to "offers of employment" / "job vacancies" / "job openings" or "job offers"? The French phrase seems to be "offre d'emploi", which is often translated as job offers. This makes me consider sense 2 again!

Is "offer of employment" a job proposal or sense 2? Let's check the context again: "offer of employment" usually means a proposal to employ someone. And a proposal *is* something offered, a "something offered (as a proposal or bid)" according to WordNet. That's sense 2! I've gotta double-check for the best sense for the word.

Okay, let's nail this down. Sense 1 is a "speech act." Sense 2 is a "proposal." Since "offers of employment" are proposals of employment, sense 2 is the most appropriate. I'm going with sense 2, "something offered (as a proposal or bid)" – job offers are clearly a *proposal*. It's a clear fit!

**Analyzing "Employment" in the Context of Job Offers**

Okay, the target is "employment" in the phrase "offers of employment." My initial instinct, given the context of training not being linked to these "offers," is to quickly identify the relevant sense. We have several candidates: (1) the state of being employed (2) the occupation for which you are paid (work/job), (3) the act of giving someone a job (engagement), and (4) the act of using.

The phrasing "offers of employment" immediately suggests a "job offer." But which sense aligns? French "offres d'emploi" translates directly to "job offers." "Emploi" here means 'job', but could this translate to an offer of engagement (hiring) and be sense 3? Let's check WordNet. Looking at the senses again, "the occupation for which you are paid" (work) seems most relevant.

However, let's look further. If "offers of employment" means job offers, then is it likely to be sense 2 (occupation for which you are paid)? A job or occupation. I considered if the context suggests a state of employment (Sense 1) or an act of employment (Sense 3), but it would likely be 2 (work) and the offer is of a job/work.

Collocation analysis comes to mind, although WordNet doesn't have an "offer of employment" explicitly defined. The meaning is derived from the constituent words. Analyzing the previous uses in the prompt, there's another instance to consider, employment can be sense 1 (state of being employed, as in the total employed or rate of employment). But given this context, it feels like this case, the more specific one of an offer of a job (employment).

Re-reading the sentences, given the French translation, "offres d'emploi" which explicitly means "job offers", "emploi" in the French phrase clearly means a 'job'. So, in English, "offers of employment" is most closely tied to the occupation for which one is paid. And thus, it's sense 2, as in, a job.

So, is an "offer of employment" an offer of an occupation/job (Sense 2) or an offer of the state of being employed (Sense 1), or an offer of hiring (Sense 3)? A "job offer" is a job.

"An employment contract" is, of course, related. Again it's sense 2 (work, employment, the occupation for which you are paid). Yes, because "offers of employment" in French means "offres d'emploi" where "emploi" = job. Thus, here "employment" refers to 'work' or a 'job,' and it is most accurately sense 2 (the occupation for which you are paid).

**My Analysis of "Effect" in this Context**

Okay, so the target is "effect" in the phrase "a positive effect on wages." Let me break this down. My initial thought process immediately goes to the potential senses, and I'm quickly filtering through them. We're talking about wages, so it's clearly about something that *follows from* or is *caused by* something else – the arrival of immigrants, in this case.

I'm considering these candidate senses: a "phenomenon that follows," an "impression," "essence," "force," or a "symptom." Clearly, "a positive effect on wages" doesn't fit the impression, essence, force, or symptom descriptions at all. The phrase is about an outcome. So, I need to focus on sense 1. The definition "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" hits the nail on the head. The synonyms "consequence, outcome, result" cement this connection. The example sentence "his decision had depressing consequences for business" is virtually identical in structure to "has a positive effect on the pay of locals." It's a clean, direct match. Therefore, I can confidently select Sense 1 as the correct meaning for "effect" in this instance.

**Deconstructing "Way" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target is the word "way" in the phrase "In the same way as a surgeon..." and I've got a list of potential senses. My initial instinct is to zero in on sense 1, which defines "way" as "how something is done or how it happens." It seems like a good fit, given the "In the same way as..." construction, which strongly suggests a comparison of *manner*. It's almost always the case that "in the same way" means "in the same manner".

Now, I'm second-guessing a bit; sense 4, "the condition of things generally," pops up in my mind, but that doesn't feel right. Let me check the WordNet definitions again to be sure: *way%1:07:01:: vs way%1:26:00::*. Wait! WordNet defines *way%1:07:01::* as "manner, mode, style, way, fashion," which seems perfect! And look, "in the same way" is even an *example* within this definition! It is included in the example.

Just to be sure, I'm checking the hypernyms of "manner" (because if this is correct it will have similar hypernyms) and confirming it *doesn't* include an "in the same way" example. Though "in the same manner" is synonymous.

Okay, let's step back, what does way%1:26:00::: say? "The condition of things generally" is the definition and does include "that's the way it is". That doesn't fit here.

Yes, "In the same way as..." is clearly about expressing a manner or comparison of how something *operates* or *happens*: "just as / in the same manner as a surgeon..." I can even simplify it as "in the same manner as".

So, sense 1 is the clear winner here. My chosen synonyms are: manner, mode, style, fashion. And the definitive definition, in this context, is definitely: "how something is done or how it happens." Sense 1 it is!

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

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "country" in the phrase "...work in a <t>country</t> with a shortage of anaesthetists..." and need to determine the best WordNet sense. Let's see... I've got a few options here: the political entity (Sense 1), the territory (Sense 2), the people (Sense 3), a rural area (Sense 4), or a geographical region (Sense 5).

My initial thought is to compare Sense 1 and Sense 2. The key phrase is "work in a country." Does this refer to the political organization (Sense 1), or the geographical space/location (Sense 2)? The preposition "in" is a strong indicator of location, so my gut tells me it's Sense 2, "the territory occupied by a nation." The examples for Sense 2, like "he visited several European countries," seem to fit the bill.

To be sure, I'll quickly check WordNet's own categorization. Sense 1 is categorized as a group/social group, and politically organized body. Sense 2 is categorized as location, territory occupied by a nation.

"Work *in* a country" is very clearly a locative phrase. I'm considering the place where work takes place. With the phrase "work *in* a country" I'm indicating location/place, making the territorial sense (Sense 2) the best fit. I'm honing in on the definitions in the WordNet hierarchy.

So, I think I'm going to eliminate the other senses. Sense 3, "the people who live in a nation or country," and Sense 4, "an area outside of cities and towns," and Sense 5 "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary". They are not consistent with the given context. It comes down to distinguishing between the two senses: political entity (Sense 1) or territory (Sense 2)?

WordNet distinguishes between "nation, country, state" as a political body and "country, state, land" as territory. The fact that the surgeon *works* "in a country" indicates a physical location, so that must be the intended sense of country.

It's clear that the phrase "work in a country" designates the *location*, the territory, where the work takes place. Therefore, it's Sense 2. The best sense is country%1:15:00::, "the territory occupied by a nation."

**Analyzing the "Shortage" Context**

Okay, the target word is "shortage," and the example sentence is: "In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists..." My initial thought is to consider the two potential senses WordNet presents. Sense 1, "shortage%1:07:00::," defines it as "the property of being an amount by which something is less than expected or required," essentially a deficit or shortfall. Sense 2, "shortage%1:26:00::," describes "an acute insufficiency," like a dearth or famine.

Let's look at the synsets. Sense 1's synset includes "deficit," "shortfall," and the attribute of being less than required, implying a quantity. Sense 2's synset includes "dearth," "famine," and focuses on a state of insufficiency. Now, the key is the phrase "shortage of anaesthetists." Is this a matter of *quantity* (like a deficit of $500), or a *state* of not having enough?

Reading the WordNet usages and definitions has led me to think through this with more nuance. Examining the hypernyms is helpful here. A "shortage of anaesthetists" seems to imply that there isn't an adequate *amount* available and, in turn, causes an insufficiency or deficiency. The context suggests a lack, a state of being without enough of these vital medical professionals.

Typically, "shortage of [something/people/food/water]" fits more neatly with an acute insufficiency. "Dearth, famine, shortage" is the relevant synset here. So, "shortage of anaesthetists" reflects a lack of these professionals, indicating an insufficiency.

I need to confirm this with the SemCor example sentences in WordNet. Specifically, how do similar examples use "shortage"? I've noticed that "shortage of labor," "shortage of housing," and "shortage of doctors" often map to the "dearth, famine, shortage" sense (1:26:00::). Ah, yes, it's sense 2! Time to double-check.

Let's quickly verify. Sense 1, with the sense key "shortage%1:07:00::", is a deficit or shortfall. But sense 2, with sense_key "shortage%1:26:00::", is indeed that of an acute insufficiency, as I thought. Therefore, the "country with a shortage of anaesthetists" clearly describes a state of insufficiency, a deficiency. Sense 2 is the correct one.

**Analyzing "Complementarities" in Economic Context**

Okay, so the word in question is "complementarities," which is clearly the plural of "complementarity." The sentence I'm working with is about the positive effects of immigrants on local pay, specifically linking this benefit to "the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants."

My initial thought is to pull up a couple of candidate senses. I see two relevant definitions. The first one talks about a relationship between *opposite* states or principles that together cover *all* possibilities - think quantum or logical complementarity. That doesn't quite click here. The second definition, though, describes "the interrelation of reciprocity whereby one thing supplements or depends on the other." Now *that's* interesting. This sense immediately makes me think of complementary inputs in economics, like one kind of labor supplementing another, or perhaps even one resource making another more useful.

The economic context of the sentence, specifically the idea of immigrants positively impacting local pay, makes the second sense a perfect fit. I can immediately imagine immigrants and locals working together and each making the other's work more effective and ultimately, more profitable. They are *complementary*. Therefore, the second definition is the one I should use here.

**My Analysis of "Arrival" in Context**

Okay, so I need to nail down the right sense index for "arrival" in this sentence: "...the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals." The context seems pretty straightforward, but let's be precise.

I've got three potential senses to consider. Sense 1, arrival%1:04:00::, is about the "accomplishment of an objective," which feels off here. Then there's Sense 2, arrival%1:04:01::, which is "the act of arriving at a certain place," which seems like a strong contender, and finally, Sense 3, arrival%1:18:00::, is "someone who arrives," or basically the *person* who arrives.

The phrase "the arrival of immigrants" strongly suggests the action of immigrants *coming* somewhere, right? Not the accomplishment of some goal, and definitely not the immigrants *themselves* as individuals, but the act of their coming. So, that immediately points me toward Sense 2, the act of arriving at a place. The examples offered for the definition further support this interpretation: "they awaited her arrival."

Let's do a quick mental check. Sense 2 is the act of arriving, which is the movement of immigrants into the country in this context. Sense 1 is accomplishment of an objective, and Sense 3 is the person. The phrase "the arrival of immigrants" very clearly points to the *act* of immigrants arriving.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate. I can be confident in that.

**Analyzing the Best Sense of "Effect"**

Okay, so I need to nail down the precise meaning of "effect" in this sentence: "...the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive <t>effect</t> on the pay of locals." My initial instinct is to go through the available senses and cross-reference them with the context.

Let's see. Sense 1, "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon," that looks promising with synonyms like "consequence," "outcome," and "result." It even gives an example: "his decision had depressing consequences for business." Hmmm, that's similar.

Sense 2, "an outward appearance," and Sense 3, "an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived)," definitely don't fit. Sense 4, "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work," and Sense 5, "(of a law) having legal validity," are also off-base. And Sense 6, "a symptom caused by an illness or a drug," has nothing to do with this either.

Yeah, considering the context, the first sense – "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" – is the clear winner. The arrival of immigrants *causes* a *positive result* on the pay of locals. The example sentence given, "his decision had depressing consequences for business," is a very close parallel and solidifies my choice. Sense 1 it is.

**My Analysis of "Rise" in Context**

Okay, so I need to nail down the correct sense of "rise" in this specific sentence: "Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0.6 and 0.9% in real long-term pay." The target word is "rise."

Let's break down the candidates. I've got a list of potential senses:

1.  "a growth in strength or number or importance"
2.  "the act of changing location in an upward direction"
3.  "an upward slope or grade (as in a road)"
4.  "a movement upward"
5.  "the amount a salary is increased"
6.  "the property possessed by a slope or surface that rises"
7.  "a wave that lifts the surface of the water or ground"
8.  "(theology) the origination of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost"
9.  "an increase in cost"
10. "increase in price or value"

Immediately, senses 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are out. They're about physical elevation or something irrelevant.

Now, let's look at sense 1: "a growth in strength or number or importance." "A rise of 1% in the migratory flow" seems to directly equate to an increase, a growth, in the *amount* of migratory flow. It makes sense.

Next, I need to rule out the other contenders. Sense 5, "the amount a salary is increased," could be tempting, but it’s modifying "migratory flow", not salary directly. Sense 9, "an increase in cost," and sense 10, "increase in price or value" don’t fit either, as the "rise" applies to migratory flow, not cost or price.

Therefore, sense 1, with its definition of "a growth in strength or number or importance," fits the context perfectly. The migratory flow is a quantity, and a "rise" in it signifies an increase in that quantity. That's the correct sense. I'm going with sense index 1.

**Analyzing the "Flow" in a Migration Context**

Okay, so I'm presented with the phrase "migratory flow" in relation to economic data, and my task is to determine the most precise sense of "flow" here. Let's dig in. I'm going through the candidate senses, thinking about the nuances of each.

First, I consider the fundamental "motion characteristic of fluids" and "amount of fluid that flows," but those seem a bit too literal, not quite capturing the essence of human migration. Then, I look at the more abstract senses: "continuous progression" and "dominant course." While these touch on the idea of movement, they feel a bit too general. I then hit sense 5, and something clicks: "something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously." The synonyms, "stream," and the examples, like "the flow of visitors," immediately resonate. This is promising.

Thinking about "migratory flow," I can visualize a constant, moving stream of immigrants. The example of the "flow of visitors" feels like a direct parallel. It's the movement of individuals, a continuous progression, but conceived of like a stream.

I'm starting to home in on sense 5. I want to double-check that by considering the WordNet sense. I confirm that "stream" has a hypernym, something like "group" or "collection," which makes sense in the context of people moving together.

I considered sense 3, "the act of flowing or streaming; continuous progression" but I think that is more the "act" of flowing and sense 5 is the "thing" that is flowing (people).

I re-examine the example in sense 5. "The museum had planned carefully for the flow of visitors" This is a great match because it is the continuous movement of people.

I'm confident. This is the match. Sense index 5 is the correct interpretation.

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

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "increase," and we're dealing with the phrase "...causes an increase of between 0.6 and 0.9% in real long-term pay." My initial thought is to run through the possible senses of "increase" and pinpoint the most appropriate one.

I'm seeing several possibilities: Sense 1 is about a quantity added, like an "addition" or "gain." Sense 2 refers to the *change* that results in an increase. Then there's Sense 3, which is about the *process* of becoming larger, like "increment" or "growth." Sense 5 is the "act" of increasing.

But the key here is Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases." The synonyms are "increment," and the example provided is perfect: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare." *That* phrasing, "an increase of [amount] percent," feels spot-on.

Let's do a quick double-check. Comparing Sense 4 to the other senses, the structure of "an increase of X%" feels directly aligned with the definition in Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases." So, given the context—that we're measuring a percentage—Sense 4 is the clear winner. The other senses seem less relevant to quantifying this degree of impact. I can confidently say that Sense 4 is the intended meaning here.
