Target lemma: support
Target surface form: Support
Context:
Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. <t>Support</t> for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context**:
    *   **Sentence**: "<t>Support</t> for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries..."
    *   **Topic**: The sentence discusses political attitudes, specifically public opinion regarding democracy.
    *   **Usage**: The word "Support" refers to the backing, approval, or advocacy of a political system (democracy). It's an abstract concept, an attitude or stance of the populace.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses**:

    *   **Sense 1 (providing/maintaining)**: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities". Examples: "financial support", "emotional support".
        *   *Fit*: This is usually concrete (money, necessities) or emotional support for a person. While "support for democracy" is a form of backing, Sense 1 focuses heavily on the *act* of providing money/necessities. "Democracy" isn't really maintained by money/necessities in this context (it's public opinion). Unlikely.

    *   **Sense 2 (aiding the cause/policy)**: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Examples: "president no longer has the support of his own party", "scheme of mutual support".
        *   *Fit*: Democracy is a political system/cause/policy. Public support for democracy is exactly "aiding the cause or interests of" democracy. The example "president no longer has the support of his own party" is very similar structurally and semantically to "support for democracy has risen".

    *   **Sense 3 (immaterial assistance)**: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Examples: "the policy found little public support", "his faith was all the support he needed".
        *   *Fit*: This is very close. "Support for democracy" is immaterial assistance (approval, votes, legitimacy) to a cause. The example "the policy found little public support" is extremely similar to the context sentence. Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 3.

    *   **Sense 4 (military operation)**: Military context.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 5 (documentary validation)**: Evidence/proof.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 6 (financial means/livelihood)**: Living expenses.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 7 (supporting structure)**: Physical structure.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 8 (act of bearing weight)**: Physical support.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 9 (musical part)**: Music.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 10 (device)**: Physical device.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 11 (financial resources)**: Funding for a project.
        *   *Fit*: Irrelevant.

3.  **Disambiguate between Sense 2 and Sense 3**:
    *   *Sense 2*: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Synonyms: backing.
    *   *Sense 3*: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".

    *   *Context analysis*: The context discusses a poll measuring attitude. "Support for democracy has risen." This refers to the level of approval or backing the populace gives to the concept of democracy.
    *   *Sense 2 Example*: "the president no longer has the support of his own party". This implies political backing/alliance.
    *   *Sense 3 Example*: "the policy found little public support". This implies public approval/immaterial backing.

    Let's look at the definition nuances.
    Sense 2 is defined as "aiding the cause...". This implies the *act* of aiding.
    Sense 3 is defined as "something providing immaterial assistance...". This frames it as an entity/thing (the support itself).

    In the sentence "Support for democracy has risen," "Support" is the subject. It acts as an abstract noun representing the collective attitude or backing.
    Public opinion polls measure the level of backing/approval.
    Sense 3 has the example: "the policy found little public support".
    The context sentence is: "Support for democracy has risen...".

    Let's look closer at WordNet hierarchy (implicitly).
    Sense 2 (noun) is often interpreted as active backing (political support).
    Sense 3 (noun) is often interpreted as the abstract assistance itself.

    However, Sense 2's definition "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" fits "democracy" perfectly as a cause/policy.
    Sense 3's definition "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" also fits.

    Let's check the specific examples provided in the prompt again.
    Sense 2 example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party". This is political allegiance/backing.
    Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support". This is public approval.

    The context is a poll of the general public ("Latinobarómetro poll", "public support" implied by poll results). The sentence says "Support for democracy has risen...".
    This is almost identical to Sense 3's example: "the policy found little public support".

    Let's evaluate Sense 2 again. "Aiding the cause...". If I say "I support democracy," I am aiding the cause.
    But here "Support" is a mass noun representing the aggregate of opinions.
    Is "public support" Sense 2 or Sense 3?
    In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
    Sense 2 (support%1:04:00::) is often associated with "backing".
    Sense 3 (support%1:09:00::) is defined as "something providing immaterial assistance...".

    Let's look at the synsets in standard WordNet.
    Synset 02086960 (Sense 2 here): "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". "The president no longer has the support of his own party."
    Synset 02087167 (Sense 3 here): "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". "The policy found little public support."

    The context is "Support for democracy has risen...". This refers to the level of approval/backing from the public.
    The example "the policy found little public support" (Sense 3) matches the context "poll... support for democracy" (public opinion) much better than the party-political allegiance example in Sense 2 ("support of his own party").

    Although Sense 2 mentions "policy" in the definition ("aiding the cause or policy"), the specific example for Sense 3 ("public support" for a policy) aligns perfectly with the context of a poll measuring public sentiment regarding a system (democracy). Sense 3 highlights "immaterial assistance," which fits public opinion (it's not money or physical aid, it's abstract backing).

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit because it explicitly handles "public support" for a policy/interest as an immaterial entity, which matches the polling context perfectly.

4.  **Final Verification**:
    *   Context: Poll results. "Support for democracy".
    *   Sense 1: Money/necessities. No.
    *   Sense 2: "Aiding the cause...". Example: Party support for a president. Close, but usually implies active political alignment rather than public sentiment.
    *   Sense 3: "Something providing immaterial assistance...". Example: "policy found little public support".
    *   Comparison: The context is explicitly about a poll measuring public sentiment. Sense 3's example is the closest match for "public support for a [cause/policy]".

    Sense 3 is the correct choice.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: *country*
    *   Target surface form: *countries*
    *   Context sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1)."
    *   Broader context: The text discusses a poll taken in 18 countries, tracking attitudes towards democracy in Latin America. It mentions Peru as an example.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
        *   Synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic.
        *   Focus: Political entity, government structure.
        *   Example: "the state has elected a new president".

    *   **Sense 2:** "the territory occupied by a nation"
        *   Synonyms: state, land.
        *   Focus: Geography, physical territory.
        *   Example: "he visited several European countries".

    *   **Sense 3:** "the people who live in a nation or country"
        *   Synonyms: nation, land.
        *   Focus: Population, demographics.
        *   Example: "the news was announced to the nation".

    *   **Sense 4:** "an area outside of cities and towns"
        *   Synonyms: rural area.
        *   Focus: Rural vs. urban distinction.
        *   Example: "slower pace of life in the country".

    *   **Sense 5:** "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary..."
        *   Synonyms: area.
        *   Focus: Region (not necessarily a sovereign state).
        *   Example: "Bible country".

3.  **Evaluate the fit:**

    *   The sentence says: "...in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America".
    *   The list includes Peru.
    *   The text talks about "18 countries", tracking changes in attitude across a region.
    *   Is it Sense 4? No, it's not talking about rural areas.
    *   Is it Sense 5? No, these are sovereign states (Peru, etc.), not vague regions like "oil country".
    *   Is it Sense 3? The text discusses the *attitudes* of the people ("Support for democracy has risen..."), which implies the populace. However, the word "countries" in the phrase "in several countries" usually refers to the geopolitical entities or the territories where the poll was taken. While the *subject matter* is the people's attitude, the word "countries" itself usually refers to the political/territorial units in this syntactic construction ("taken in 18 countries", "in several countries on the Pacific rim").
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1 (Political entity): "politically organized body of people under a single government". When we talk about polling "in 18 countries", we are referring to the jurisdictions or the political units. "Support... has risen in several countries" suggests the political units have seen a rise in support within their borders.
        *   Sense 2 (Territory): "the territory occupied by a nation". "He visited several European countries" fits this well. "In several countries on the Pacific rim" fits this geographically too.
        *   Sense 3 (The people): "the people who live in a nation". While the *content* is about the people's support, the usage "in several countries" is spatial/political. We don't usually say "Support has risen in several nations (meaning people)" using "countries" as a direct synonym for "populace" in this specific prepositional phrase structure as often as we use it to mean the state/territory. "Nation" is often used for the people (e.g., "The nation mourned"), but "countries" is rarely used in the singular collective sense like that. "Countries" usually refers to the states themselves.

    *   Let's refine the distinction between Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   WordNet 3.0 (often the source for these indices) separates "state" (Sense 1) and "territory" (Sense 2).
        *   Context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries..."
        *   Often, WordNet distinguishes between the political organization (Sense 1) and the land (Sense 2).
        *   However, looking at the examples provided for Sense 2: "he visited several European countries". This is very similar to "taken in 18 countries" or "in several countries".
        *   Let's check Sense 1 examples: "African nations", "the state has elected...". These emphasize the political body.
        *   In the context of a poll being taken "in 18 countries", the reference is primarily to the geopolitical units. Is it the physical land (Sense 2) or the political entity (Sense 1)?
        *   Often, the distinction is blurry. But consider the phrase "countries on the Pacific rim". "Pacific rim" is geographical. This leans slightly toward territory/geography.
        *   However, consider the topic: "Support for democracy". Democracy is a political system. The "countries" are the political units where this system operates. The poll tracks changes "in attitude across the region".
        *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 1 again: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". This fits "countries" as sovereign states in a list (like Peru).
        *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 2 again: "the territory occupied by a nation".
        *   Usually, when counting entities ("18 countries", "several countries"), we are counting political states (Sense 1) rather than just tracts of land (Sense 2). If I say "There are 50 states in the US", I am referring to the political entities. If I say "I walked across the country", I refer to the land. Here, we are counting distinct units defined by government/jurisdiction (where the poll was taken). The mention of "democracy" and "institutions" further reinforces the political nature of these entities.
        *   Sense 1 is defined as "body politic".
        *   Sense 2 is defined as "territory".
        *   The phrase "countries on the Pacific rim" involves geography, but "countries" are listed as units of analysis for a political poll.
        *   Standard WSD practice for "countries" in lists of nations usually maps to Sense 1 (the political entity/state). The example for Sense 2 ("he visited several European countries") is actually often debated in WSD circles because "visiting" involves the land, but the "countries" are the political entities. However, WordNet examples are what we must follow.
        *   Sense 1 examples: "African nations". (Counting/listing entities). This matches "18 countries".
        *   Sense 2 examples: "he visited several European countries". (Visiting locations).
        *   The text says "poll taken in 18 countries". This is akin to "visiting". But it also says "Support... in several countries".
        *   Let's check the definitions more strictly.
        *   Sense 1: "politically organized body of people..."
        *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation"
        *   Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation" -> "a statement that sums up the nation's mood".
        *   The target sentence is: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t>..."
        *   If we interpret "countries" as the locations where this happened, it's Sense 2.
        *   If we interpret "countries" as the political entities exhibiting this trend, it's Sense 1.
        *   The text mentions "peru". Peru is a state/nation.
        *   Common usage: "Countries in South America". This refers to the sovereign states.
        *   Let's look at the Sense 1 synonyms: state, nation, commonwealth.
        *   Let's look at Sense 2 synonyms: state, land.
        *   Let's look at Sense 3 synonyms: nation, land.
        *   The distinction between 1 and 2 is the classic "State" vs "Territory" distinction.
        *   In a list or count ("18 countries", "several countries"), the political entity sense is usually the default in WordNet-based annotation schemes (like OntoNotes or SemCor). When we say "France is a country", we mean the political entity. When we say "the country is beautiful", we mean the land. When we say "the whole country was watching", we mean the people (Sense 3).
        *   Here: "taken in 18 countries" / "in several countries". While it involves location (preposition 'in'), the entities are political units. The poll is conducted under the jurisdiction of these governments (or within the borders of these states).
        *   Sense 1 seems the most appropriate for a list of sovereign states defined by their political existence ("democracy", "institutions"). "Peru" is a politically organized body.
        *   Let's compare with Sense 2's example "he returned to the land of his birth". That emphasizes the physical territory/place.
        *   Sense 1's example "African nations" emphasizes the group of political entities.
        *   The phrase "18 countries" matches the semantic type of "African nations" (a list/count of political entities). Therefore, Sense 1 is the stronger candidate over Sense 2.

    *   Re-evaluating Sense 3: "The people". "Support for democracy has risen in several countries." Could it mean "Support... among the people of several countries"? Yes, semantically. But the syntactic usage "in several countries" refers to the container (the state/territory), not the contents (the people). We say "in the nation" (territory/state) or "the nation supports" (people). "In several countries" is spatial/political container. So Sense 3 is unlikely.

    *   Final check: Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: Political entity / Body Politic.
        *   Sense 2: Territory / Land.
        *   Context: Political poll, democracy, institutions, list of specific states (Peru).
        *   Although the preposition "in" suggests location, the noun "countries" refers to the entities being counted (18 of them) and analyzed as political units (support for democracy).
        *   In WordNet, Sense 1 (state/nation/body politic) is the primary synset for "country" when referring to the sovereign state.
        *   Sense 2 is often used for "countryside" (incorrectly mapped sometimes) or specific territory distinct from the political organization. Wait, Sense 2 definition: "the territory occupied by a nation". Example: "he visited several European countries". This is the tricky one. Visiting countries implies entering their territory.
        *   However, Sense 1's definition "politically organized body of people..." seems to capture the essence of "Peru" or "countries on the Pacific rim" in a political context better than just "territory".
        *   Let's look at standard WSD mappings for "countries" (plural).
        *   In SemCor: "foreign countries" -> Sense 1 (state/nation).
        *   In SemCor: "European countries" -> Sense 1.
        *   The example for Sense 2 in the prompt ("he visited several European countries") suggests WordNet might use Sense 2 for travel contexts. BUT, the prompt instructions say "Use the sentence context, the examples, and the synonyms".
        *   Let's look at the context again. "Support for democracy... in several countries". This is not a travel narrative ("visited"). It is a political analysis. The entities are acting (or being acted upon) as political units.
        *   Synonyms for Sense 1: state, nation.
        *   Synonyms for Sense 2: state, land.
        *   "State" is a synonym for both. "Nation" is a synonym for both.
        *   However, Sense 1 includes "body politic" and "commonwealth".
        *   Context: "tracks changes in attitude... stability of attitudes... democracy and its core institutions". This is heavy on the political organization aspect.
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit. The "countries" are the sovereign states participating in the poll, defined by their government and institutions.

    *   Let's verify Sense 1's definition again: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". This fits "Peru" perfectly in this context.
    *   Sense 2's definition: "the territory occupied by a nation". This fits if we focus on the map location. But the discourse is about political mood and democracy. A territory doesn't have a mood or support for democracy; the body politic (the people organized under a government) does.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is superior to Sense 2 in this specific political context.

    *   Decision: Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "South America" is being used.

Context analysis:
The text mentions "countries on the Pacific rim of South America" and then gives Peru as an example. This suggests that South America is being referred to as a geographical region/continent here, specifically referring to the physical location of countries on its Pacific coast.

The context is talking about geographical placement - countries located on the Pacific rim of South America. It's using South America as a geographical entity, a continent, not as a collective reference to nations.

Sense 1: "a continent in the western hemisphere connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama"
This defines South America as a continent, a geographical landmass.

Sense 2: "the nations of the South American continent collectively"
This defines South America as a collective term for the nations/countries.

In the given context: "countries on the Pacific rim of South America"

This is referring to the physical/geographical aspect of South America - the continent itself, specifically its Pacific rim. The sentence is talking about countries located on a specific geographic part of South America (the Pacific rim). This makes it clear that South America is being used in the geographical/continental sense, not as a collective term for nations.

The example for sense 2 is "South America is an important market for goods from the United States" - here, South America is used collectively to refer to the nations/markets, not the geographical landmass.

In the given context, it's clearly referring to the continent as a geographical entity (the Pacific rim of the continent), so sense 1 is the correct choice.

Target surface form: table
Context:
Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see <t>table</t> 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the target word "year" in a specific context.

**Context Analysis:**
- Sentence: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a <t>year</t> since 2002..."
- The usage here is "6% a year". This refers to a recurring 12-month period used for measuring economic growth (GDP growth).
- It's a standard unit of time, specifically the time it takes for the Earth to go around the sun, or simply a 365/366 day period.

**Sense Analysis:**

1.  **sense_index: 1** (sense_key=year%1:28:01::)
    - Definition: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days"
    - Synonyms: twelvemonth, yr
    - Examples: "she is 4 years old", "in the year 1920"
    - Fit: This sense refers to the calendar year or the duration of a year. "6% a year" fits this definition perfectly. It refers to an annual rate (per year).

2.  **sense_index: 2** (sense_key=year%1:28:02::)
    - Definition: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity"
    - Examples: "a school year"
    - Fit: This is for specific activity periods like "school year" or "fiscal year" (sometimes, though fiscal year often maps to sense 1 in general usage, but specific activity sense is distinct). "Economic growth averaged 6% a year" is not a specific activity block like a school year; it's a measure of time duration.

3.  **sense_index: 3** (sense_key=year%1:28:00::)
    - Definition: "the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun"
    - Examples: "a Martian year takes 687 of our days"
    - Fit: While technically a calendar year is based on the revolution, this sense usually implies the astronomical definition or references to planets other than Earth (like Mars). However, WordNet often distinguishes the "calendar/twelvemonth" sense (sense 1) from the "astronomical year" sense (sense 3). In the context "averaged 6% a year", we are talking about the standard unit of time (365 days). Sense 1 is the general "period of 365 days". Sense 3 is the "time of revolution". Sense 1 is the most common standard dictionary definition for general usage like "per year" or "a year". Let's look closer at WordNet structure.
    - WordNet 3.0 distinctions:
        - Sense 1 (year, twelvemonth, yr): a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days; "she is 4 years old"; "in the year 1920".
        - Sense 3 (year): the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun; "a Martian year takes 687 of our days".
    - "6% a year" is an annual rate. It fits Sense 1 best. It is a unit of duration.

4.  **sense_index: 4** (sense_key=year%1:14:00::)
    - Definition: "a body of students who graduate together"
    - Synonyms: class
    - Fit: Completely irrelevant.

**Comparison:**
- Sense 1 covers the general concept of a year as a unit of time (12 months/365 days).
- Sense 3 is more technical/astronomical.
- The phrase "6% a year" means "6% per annum". "Per annum" maps to "per year". This is the standard duration sense.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

**Final Selection:**
Sense 1.

The target word is "support" in the context: "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

The phrase is "support for democracy" - this refers to public approval or backing for democracy as a political system. This is about people's attitudes, opinions, or endorsement of democracy.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=support%1:04:04:: | definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities - This is about providing financial/material support to maintain something. Not fitting for "support for democracy" in a public opinion poll context.

2. sense_key=support%1:04:00:: | definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples="the president no longer has the support of his own party" - This is about aiding a cause, policy, or interests. The example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" shows political support. This could fit - "support for democracy" is about aiding/endorsing democracy as a cause/policy.

3. sense_key=support%1:09:00:: | definition=something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples="the policy found little public support" - This is about immaterial assistance to a cause. The example "the policy found little public support" is very similar to "support for democracy." This is about public backing/approval.

Now comparing sense 2 and sense 3:
- Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - this is about actively aiding/helping a cause
- Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - this is about providing assistance (in this case, public approval/backing)

The example in sense 3 "the policy found little public support" is almost exactly parallel to "support for democracy" - both are about public opinion backing for a policy/system.

Looking more closely:
- Sense 2 seems to be more about active support/aid given to a cause
- Sense 3 explicitly mentions "immaterial assistance" and has an example about "public support" for a policy

The context is about a poll measuring people's attitudes. The "support for democracy" here is about public opinion - people expressing approval or backing for democracy. This is immaterial assistance (not financial, not physical) - it's about moral/political backing.

Sense 3's example "the policy found little public support" is the closest match to "support for democracy" in a polling context. Both refer to public opinion backing for a policy or political system.

I believe sense 3 is the best fit.

Let me double-check:
- The context is a poll about attitudes
- "Support for democracy has risen" - this is measuring public opinion/attitude
- This is about immaterial support - people's approval/endorsement
- The example in sense 3 "the policy found little public support" directly parallels this usage

Yes, sense_index 3 is the best choice.

The target word is "low" in the context: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."

Let me analyze each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=low%1:26:00:: - definition=an air mass of lower pressure; often brings precipitation | synonyms=depression | examples=a low moved in over night bringing sleet and snow
This is about weather/meteorology - an air mass. Not relevant to the context about polling percentages.

2. sense_key=low%1:18:00:: - definition=British political cartoonist (born in New Zealand) who created the character Colonel Blimp (1891-1963) | synonyms=David Low, Sir David Low, Sir David Alexander Cecil Low
This is a proper noun referring to a person. Not relevant here.

3. sense_key=low%1:07:00:: - definition=a low level or position or degree | examples=the stock market fell to a new low
This refers to a low point, level, or value. The example "the stock market fell to a new low" is very similar to the context where we're talking about a percentage (40%) that represents the lowest point of support for democracy. This matches perfectly.

4. sense_key=low%1:06:00:: - definition=the lowest forward gear ratio in the gear box of a motor vehicle; used to start a car moving | synonyms=first gear, first, low gear
This is about car gears. Not relevant.

The context is talking about "a low of 40%" meaning the lowest point/value recorded. Sense 3 with definition "a low level or position or degree" and example "the stock market fell to a new low" is clearly the best match.

So the answer is sense_index: 3.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   **Target Lemma:** year
    *   **Target Surface Form:** year
    *   **Context Sentence:** "For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."
    *   **Context Paragraph:** The paragraph discusses polls, time periods (1995, September, October, 2002, 2005), and economic growth rates averaged over annual periods.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `year%1:28:01::`
        *   Definition: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days"
        *   Synonyms: twelvemonth, yr
        *   Examples: "she is 4 years old", "in the year 1920"
        *   *Analysis:* This is the general calendar definition of a year. The context phrase "averaged 6% a year" implies "per year" or "annually," which fits the standard 365-day period definition. The phrase "this year" refers to the current calendar year (2006 based on the context of "since 2002" and "2005").

    *   **Sense 2:** `year%1:28:02::`
        *   Definition: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity"
        *   Examples: "a school year"
        *   *Analysis:* The context mentions economic growth and polling dates. It does not refer to a specific academic year or fiscal year specifically defined as a *part* of the calendar year used for a specific activity in the specialized sense (like a "school year"). While fiscal years exist, "averaged 6% a year" refers to the standard calendar duration. "This year" refers to the calendar year.

    *   **Sense 3:** `year%1:28:00::`
        *   Definition: "the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun"
        *   Examples: "a Martian year takes 687 of our days"
        *   *Analysis:* This is the astronomical definition. While technically Earth's year is defined by revolution, in general linguistic usage (WordNet hierarchy), this is usually reserved for scientific contexts or comparisons of planetary years. In general text, the standard calendar year (Sense 1) is the primary sense.

    *   **Sense 4:** `year%1:14:00::`
        *   Definition: "a body of students who graduate together"
        *   Synonyms: class
        *   *Analysis:* Not applicable here.

3.  **Disambiguate:**
    *   The sentence says "averaged 6% a year". This is the standard unit of time (365 days).
    *   The sentence also says "61% this year". This refers to the current calendar year.
    *   Sense 1 covers the standard calendar year unit.
    *   Sense 3 is the astronomical definition. In WordNet, the distinction is often made between the abstract time unit (Sense 1) and the orbital period (Sense 3), or sometimes Sense 1 is considered the hypernym. However, looking at standard WSD practices for general text, "a year" in economic contexts ("6% a year") maps most strongly to the standard period of time (Sense 1). The examples for Sense 1 ("in the year 1920") align with the specific date mentions ("this year").
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 defines it as a period containing 365 days. Sense 3 defines it by the planetary revolution. Contextual usage "averaged 6% a year" treats "year" as a standard measure of time duration. Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit for general economic and calendar contexts.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
        *   Sense 1 (year%1:28:01::) is the "twelvemonth".
        *   Sense 3 (year%1:28:00::) is the orbital period.
        *   Usually, Sense 1 is the default for general text. The economic context "6% a year" is synonymous with "per annum" or "per twelvemonth". "This year" refers to the calendar year.
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

4.  **Format Output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

    *   It talks about the economy "recovering" and a "drop in output". This implies a large-scale macroeconomic entity.

3.  **Analyze the candidate senses**:
    *   *Sense 1*: "the system of production and distribution and consumption". Synonyms: "economic system".
        *   Match? Yes. A country's economy is exactly this. "The economy of Mexico" fits this definition perfectly.
    *   *Sense 2*: "the efficient use of resources". Examples: "economy of effort".
        *   Match? No. The context isn't about efficiency or a specific instance of effort. It's about the national financial state.
    *   *Sense 3*: "frugality in the expenditure of money or resources". Synonyms: "thriftiness". Examples: "The Scots are famous for their economy".
        *   Match? No. The context is not about being cheap or frugal.
    *   *Sense 4*: "an act of economizing; reduction in cost". Synonyms: "saving". Examples: "it was a small economy to walk to work".
        *   Match? No. The text does not refer to saving money or a specific act of economizing.

4.  **Compare Sense 1 with Context**:
    *   The text mentions "economic growth", "output", and "recovered".
    *   The phrase "the economy" in a national context (Mexico) almost invariably refers to the system of production and consumption (Sense 1).
    *   Sense 1 is the standard definition of "economy" when referring to the financial state of a nation.

5.  **Select the best sense**: Sense 1.

6.  **Format the output**: The user requested a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}` where X is the index number.
    *   Sense 1 is the correct one.
    *   Index is 1.

    Output: `{"sense_index": 1}`

Target lemma: drop
Target surface form: drop
Context:
Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big <t>drop</t> in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2).

1.  **Analyze the context**: economy has recovered after suffering a big <t>drop</t> in output last year."
    *   Key phrases: "economy has recovered", "suffering a big drop", "in output".
    *   Meaning: The economy went down significantly (decreased in output), and then recovered. "Drop" here refers to a decrease in quantity or value (economic output).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses**:
    *   Sense 1: "a shape that is spherical and small" (bead, pearl). - Incorrect. Context is about economics, not liquid shapes.
    *   Sense 2: "a small indefinite quantity (especially of a liquid)" (drib, driblet). - Incorrect. Context is about a large economic decline, not a small amount of liquid.
    *   Sense 3: "a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity" (dip, fall, free fall). Examples: "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index", "a drop in pressure". - **Correct**. This matches the economic context ("drop in output") and the meaning of a decrease in value/quantity.
    *   Sense 4: "a steep high face of rock" (cliff, drop-off). - Incorrect. Metaphorical cliffs exist in economics ("fiscal cliff"), but "drop" here refers to the act of falling/decreasing, not the geological feature itself.
    *   Sense 5: "a predetermined hiding place for the deposit and distribution of illicit goods". - Incorrect. Criminal jargon, not relevant here.
    *   Sense 6: "a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity" (fall). - Incorrect. While related to the concept of "falling", this usually refers to physical objects falling through the air, whereas the context is an abstract economic metric decreasing.
    *   Sense 7: "a curtain that can be lowered and raised onto a stage". - Incorrect. Theater context.
    *   Sense 8: "a central depository where things can be left or picked up". - Incorrect. Logistics context.
    *   Sense 9: "the act of dropping something". - Incorrect. Too generic and physical.

3.  **Select the best sense**: Sense 3 is the clear winner. The definition "a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity" perfectly describes a "drop in output" (economic decline). The example provided in the sense ("a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index") is highly analogous to the context sentence.

4.  **Format the output**: The user requested a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   The index for the correct sense is 3 (based on the numbered list 1-9 provided in the prompt).

    Wait, let me double check the numbering.
    1. sense_key=drop%1:25:00:: ...
    2. sense_key=drop%1:23:00:: ...
    3. sense_key=drop%1:07:00:: ... (This is the correct one)

    So the index is 3.

```json
{"sense_index": 4}
```

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in <t>output</t> last year."
    *   Subject: "the economy" (Mexico's economy).
    *   Action: "suffering a big drop in [output]".
    *   Context clues: "economic growth", "economy has recovered", "Pacific rim of South America", "production", "commodity" (implied by economic discussions).
    *   The target word "output" refers to what the economy produces. It is discussed in terms of quantity ("big drop") and time ("last year").

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `output%1:06:00::` | Definition: "final product; the things produced" | Synonyms: "end product".
        *   *Critique:* This refers to the physical objects themselves as finished goods. While related, the context talks about a "drop" in output in an economic sense (aggregate quantity), not the specific nature of the end products. "A big drop in end product" sounds slightly off compared to "a big drop in production".

    *   **Sense 2:** `output%1:04:00::` | Definition: "production of a certain amount" | Synonyms: "yield".
        *   *Critique:* This is defined as the *act* or process of producing an amount. The context implies the amount produced. However, WordNet hypernym hierarchies matter here. This falls under "act" (noun.act?). Let's check the others.

    *   **Sense 3:** `output%1:10:02::` | Definition: "signal that comes out of an electronic system" | Synonyms: "output signal".
        *   *Critique:* Clearly incorrect. No electronics involved.

    *   **Sense 4:** `output%1:23:00::` | Definition: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)" | Synonyms: "yield, production" | Example: "production was up in the second quarter".
        *   *Critique:* This definition fits perfectly. It focuses on "quantity", "created", and explicitly mentions "within a given period of time" (matching "last year" in the context). The example "production was up in the second quarter" is semantically very close to "suffering a big drop in output last year". It is a noun denoting quantity/possession (noun.quantity or noun.artifact?). Actually, checking WordNet structure (mentally), sense 4 usually maps to the concept of economic output or production quantity.

    *   **Sense 5:** `output%1:06:01::` | Definition: "what is produced in a given time period" | Synonyms: "outturn, turnout".
        *   *Critique:* This is very similar to Sense 4. Let's distinguish.
        *   Sense 4: "the quantity of something... that is created". Focus on *amount*.
        *   Sense 5: "what is produced". Focus on the *result*.
        *   Context: "a big drop in output". You have a drop in the *quantity* (Sense 4). You don't usually say "a drop in what is produced" unless you mean the specific items stopped being produced. In economics, "output" usually refers to the aggregate measure of production (GDP, industrial production).
        *   Let's look at the examples and synonyms again.
        *   Sense 4 has the example "production was up in the second quarter". This aligns with economic trends.
        *   Sense 5 synonyms "outturn, turnout". "Turnout" usually refers to people attending an event. "Outturn" is often used in specific industrial or financial contexts, but Sense 4 includes "yield, production".
        *   Looking at the definitions closely:
            *   Sense 4 emphasizes "quantity".
            *   Sense 5 emphasizes "what is produced".
        *   In economic reports ("suffering a big drop in output"), we are talking about the *level* or *volume* of production. This aligns with Sense 4 ("quantity").
        *   Sense 1 is "final product".
        *   Sense 4 vs Sense 5: Sense 4 is defined specifically as "the quantity of something... created". Sense 5 is "what is produced".
        *   Context: "big drop". You measure a drop in *quantity*. You can measure a drop in "what is produced", but Sense 4's definition "quantity of something... created (usually within a given period of time)" is the standard definition for economic output.
        *   Let's check the hierarchy/lexicographer file markers (the numbers in the sense key).
            *   Sense 1 (`1:06:00`): noun.artifact?
            *   Sense 4 (`1:23:00`): noun.quantity? (Actually, in WordNet 3.0/3.1, `1:23` often corresponds to noun.quantity).
            *   Sense 5 (`1:06:01`): noun.artifact?
        *   If the target is economic output, it is treated as a quantity measure. "Output fell" = "The quantity produced fell".
        *   Let's compare Sense 4 and Sense 5 again.
            *   Sense 4 definition: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created".
            *   Sense 5 definition: "what is produced in a given time period".
        *   The phrase "suffering a big drop" quantifies the output. We are discussing the *amount*. Sense 4 explicitly defines it as "the quantity". Sense 5 defines it as "what is produced".
        *   Example for Sense 4: "production was up in the second quarter". This mirrors the economic context ("drop in output last year").
        *   Therefore, Sense 4 is the best fit for economic output measured as a quantity over time.

3.  **Final decision:** Sense 4.
    *   Context: Economic report, "drop in output", referring to the quantity of goods/services produced.
    *   Definition 4: "the quantity of something... that is created... within a given period of time".
    *   Example 4: "production was up...".
    *   This matches the economic usage perfectly.

    Let's double check Sense 5. Sense 5 synonyms "outturn" and "turnout". "Turnout" is clearly distinct (voters, crowds). "Outturn" is rare. Sense 4 synonyms "yield, production" are standard economic terms. "Production" is used interchangeably with "output" in this context.

    Result: Index 4.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: `year`
    *   Target surface form: `year`
    *   Context sentence: "...in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last <t>year</t>."
    *   Broader context: Discusses polls, economic growth rates (6% a year), and specific calendar years (2002, 2005, "this year").

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `year%1:28:01::`
        *   Definition: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days"
        *   Synonyms: twelvemonth, yr
        *   Examples: "she is 4 years old", "in the year 1920"
        *   Analysis: This refers to a standard calendar year or a unit of duration equivalent to a calendar year. In the phrase "last year," it refers to the previous calendar year (or the 365-day period preceding the current moment).

    *   **Sense 2:** `year%1:28:02::`
        *   Definition: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity"
        *   Examples: "a school year"
        *   Analysis: This refers to a specialized subdivision of a year (like an academic year or fiscal year). While "fiscal year" is possible in economic contexts, the phrase "last year" generally refers to the calendar year, not a specific operational period like a school year. The context discusses economic output "last year," which usually means the previous calendar year. Sense 1 covers this standard usage better.

    *   **Sense 3:** `year%1:28:00::`
        *   Definition: "the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun"
        *   Examples: "a Martian year takes 687 of our days"
        *   Analysis: This is an astronomical definition. While Earth's year is 365 days, this sense emphasizes the planetary revolution aspect. In the context of a news article about polls and economics, the astronomical definition is less salient than the standard calendar unit (Sense 1). However, often Sense 1 and Sense 3 are very close in WordNet hierarchies, but Sense 1 is usually the "twelvemonth" sense used for counting duration or calendar dates, whereas Sense 3 is the physical phenomenon. The usage "last year" fits the "period of time containing 365 days" (Sense 1) usage pattern best.

    *   **Sense 4:** `year%1:14:00::`
        *   Definition: "a body of students who graduate together"
        *   Synonyms: class
        *   Examples: "the class of '97"
        *   Analysis: This is clearly about a cohort of students. The context is about economic output. This is incorrect.

3.  **Select the best sense:**
    The phrase "last year" refers to the previous calendar year.
    Sense 1 is defined as "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" with synonyms "twelvemonth" and "yr".
    The context mentions "this year's poll", "6% a year" (duration), and "last year" (previous calendar year).
    The mention of "6% a year" uses "year" as a unit of time/duration.
    The target "last year" refers to the specific previous time period defined by the calendar.
    Sense 1 is the standard definition for a calendar year or a unit of time equal to 365 days.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 vs Sense 3 in WordNet usage.
    WordNet often distinguishes "time period" (Sense 1) from "orbit time" (Sense 3).
    Common usage: "last year".
    Definition mapping: "last year" = the last period of 365 days.
    Sense 1 fits "last year" perfectly.
    Sense 2 (school year) is wrong.
    Sense 4 (student class) is wrong.

    So it's Sense 1.

    Let's check the indexing.
    1. sense_key=year%1:28:01:: (period of 365 days) -> Correct.
    2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: (particular activity year) -> Incorrect.
    3. sense_key=year%1:28:00:: (planetary revolution) -> Incorrect context (too astronomical/technical, though related).
    4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: (student class) -> Incorrect.

    Therefore, the correct index is 1.

    Wait, let me look closer at Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    WordNet 3.1 or 3.0 structure.
    Sense 1:28:01:: is the "twelvemonth" sense.
    Sense 1:28:00:: is the "astronomical year" sense.
    In common disambiguation tasks, "last year" refers to the calendar year, which maps to Sense 1 (twelvemonth).

    The phrase "averaged 6% a year" uses year as a unit of time (Sense 1).
    The phrase "last year" refers to the previous calendar year (Sense 1).

    So, Index 1 is the correct choice.

1.  **Analyze the User's Request:**
    *   **Task:** Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD).
    *   **Target Lemma:** half.

    *   **Candidate Senses:**
        *   Sense 1: `half%1:23:00::` | Definition: "one of two equal parts of a divisible whole" | Synonyms: "one-half" | Examples: "half a loaf", "half an hour".

2.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:**
    *   Sentence: "But only around **half** of respondents in Mexico and Brazil..."
    *   Meaning: It refers to 50% of the respondents. It's a fraction or proportion of a whole group (respondents). It's essentially one of two equal parts (mathematically speaking, though "around half" implies approximation).
    *   Context domain: Politics/Sociology/Survey statistics.

3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "one of two equal parts of a divisible whole". This fits perfectly. The "divisible whole" is the group of respondents. The "half" is approximately 50% of them. The examples "half a loaf", "half an hour" are different domains but share the core semantic meaning of "50% / one of two equal parts".
    *   **Sense 2:** "one of two divisions into which some games or performances are divided". This refers to time periods in sports (first half, second half) or theater. This has nothing to do with statistical proportions of people. This is clearly incorrect.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the standard meaning of "half" as a quantity or fraction.
    *   Sense 2 is domain-specific to sports/performances.
    *   The text uses "half" to denote a quantity/proportion of a population.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

5.  **Format the Output:**
    *   The requested format is `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: respondent
    *   Target surface form: respondents (plural noun)
    *   Context: The text discusses survey results regarding attitudes towards democracy in Latin America. Phrases like "support for democracy has risen," "see table 1," "For example in Peru," "percentage of respondents," "satisfied with how their country's democracy works" strongly indicate a survey or poll setting. The "respondents" are the people answering the survey questions.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `respondent%1:18:01::` -> Definition: "the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding) who is accused of adultery with the corespondent". This is a legal sense specific to divorce cases.
    *   Sense 2: `respondent%1:18:00::` -> Definition: "someone who responds" | Synonyms: responder, answerer. This is a general sense referring to anyone who replies to something, often used in the context of surveys or polls.

3.  **Map context to senses:**
    *   Does the context talk about a divorce proceeding or legal codefendants? No. It talks about public opinion polls, economic growth, and political support.
    *   Does the context talk about people responding to questions (a survey)? Yes. The people answering the poll questions are the "respondents". This fits the definition "someone who responds" (specifically, in the social science context of survey respondents).

4.  **Select the best indexed sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 2 is clearly right.

5.  **Format the output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   Since Sense 2 is the correct one, the index is 2 (based on the list provided: 1, 2).

    *Wait, let me double-check the indexing in the prompt.*
    The prompt lists:
    1. sense_key=respondent%1:18:01:: ...
    2. sense_key=respondent%1:18:00:: ...

    So, Sense 2 corresponds to the survey respondent meaning.

    Output: `{"sense_index": 2}`.

Context:
The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and <t>Brazil</t>, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2).

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:**
    *   Target lemma: `brazil`
    *   Target surface form: `Brazil`
    *   Context: A text discussing political attitudes (support for democracy) in Latin America, mentioning Peru, Mexico, and Brazil as populous countries in the region.
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  Country in South America.
        2.  Nut (brazil nut).
    *   Output format: JSON `{"sense_index": X}`.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The sentence containing the target word is: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and <t>Brazil</t>, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats..."
    *   Clues:
        *   "respondents in Mexico and Brazil": People live in countries, not inside nuts.
        *   "the region's two most populous countries": Brazil is explicitly defined here as a *country*.
        *   "Latin America's fairly sunny mood": Context is geopolitical/social science.
        *   "South America": Brazil is in South America.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: Definition = "the largest Latin American country... located in the central and northeastern part of South America..." Synonyms = Federative Republic of Brazil, Brasil.
    *   Sense 2: Definition = "three-sided tropical American nut..." Synonyms = brazil nut.

4.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    *   The context refers to a geographical entity where people (respondents) live and which is a "populous country".
    *   Sense 1 fits perfectly (Country).
    *   Sense 2 (Nut) is completely incompatible with the context (a nut cannot be a populous country with respondents).

5.  **Formulate the Output:**
    *   The correct sense is Sense 1.
    *   The required format is JSON.

    JSON: `{"sense_index": 1}`

reasoning_content:
The target word is "countries" in the context: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats..."

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence refers to Mexico and Brazil as "the region's two most populous countries"
- This is talking about nations/states as political entities with populations
- "Populous" refers to having many people, so we're talking about political entities that have populations

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. country%1:14:00:: - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the political organization aspect, with synonyms like state, nation, land, commonwealth. Examples: "the state has elected a new president; African nations"

2. country%1:15:00:: - "the territory occupied by a nation" - This focuses on the territory/land aspect. Examples: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries"

3. country%1:14:01:: - "the people who live in a nation or country" - This focuses on the people/population. Examples: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation"

4. country%1:15:01:: - "an area outside of cities and towns" - Rural area, clearly not this sense.

5. country%1:15:02:: - "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This is about a region/area, not quite right.

The key phrase is "most populous countries." The word "populous" refers to the people living there. However, "countries" here refers to the nation-state entities (Mexico and Brazil) that have large populations, not just the people themselves.

Sense 1 focuses on "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is about the political entity.
Sense 3 focuses on "the people who live in a nation or country" - this is about the populace.

When we say "populous countries," we're talking about the nation-states that have many people, not just the people themselves. The countries are Mexico and Brazil as political entities that happen to be populous.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate because:
- Mexico and Brazil are politically organized bodies under single governments
- The synonyms include "nation" which fits well with "African nations" example
- When we talk about "countries" in international/political contexts, we typically mean sense 1

Sense 2 could also work since it mentions territory, but the focus here is more on the political entity than just the territory.

Sense 3 focuses specifically on the people, but "countries" here refers to the entities (Mexico and Brazil), not just their populations.

I'll go with sense 1 as the best fit.
