Target lemma: year
Target surface form: year
Context:
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 Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word:** The target lemma is "year" and the surface form is "year". The context sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The sentence discusses survey results regarding confidence in Congress and government.
    *   It compares current results to "last year" and results from "2003".
    *   The phrase "last year" refers to the calendar year immediately preceding the current one.
    *   The context involves economic growth "averaged 6% a year", "2005", "this year", "last year", "2001", "2003", "A decade ago". All these refer to standard calendar time periods.

3.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `sense_key=year%1:28:01::` | Definition: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" | Examples: "she is 4 years old; in the year 1920".
        *   Analysis: This definition fits the standard calendar year concept. When someone says "last year", they mean the previous 12-month period defined by the calendar. The context mentions specific dates (2003, 2005, etc.), which aligns with the example "in the year 1920".

    *   **Sense 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".
        *   Analysis: This refers to a specialized period within a year (like a school year or fiscal year). While economic growth is mentioned ("averaged 6% a year"), the target instance "last year" refers to the general calendar time frame, not a specific activity-based subdivision like a school year. Although economic reports often use fiscal years, in general text like this survey report, "last year" usually implies the calendar year unless specified otherwise. Sense 1 is the broader, more primary sense that encompasses this usage.

    *   **Sense 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".
        *   Analysis: This is the astronomical definition. While Earth's year is defined by this, the usage here is in a socio-political/economic report, not an astronomical context. WordNet distinguishes between the time period as a unit (Sense 1) and the astronomical event (Sense 3). "Last year" in this context refers to the unit of time/calendar period, not the orbital mechanics.

    *   **Sense 4:** `sense_key=year%1:14:00::` | Definition: "a body of students who graduate together" | Synonyms: "class" | Examples: "the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High".
        *   Analysis: This is a collective noun for students. Totally irrelevant here.

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   The target phrase is "the same as last year".
    *   Sense 1 is the general calendar year. "Last year" means the preceding calendar year.
    *   Sense 2 is specific (school year).
    *   The text refers to dates like 2001, 2003, 2005. These are calendar years.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice. It captures the meaning of "year" as a standard unit of time measurement in human affairs (12 months).

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the standard definition of a year as a period of 365/366 days. The context clearly fits this definition (comparing survey data across standard calendar years).

6.  **Construct Output:** JSON format `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: `case`
    *   Target surface form: `cases`
    *   Context snippet: "...Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003..."
    *   Sentence structure: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases..."

2.  **Analyze the meaning in context:**
    *   The text discusses survey results regarding confidence in institutions (Congress and government).
    *   The phrase "in both cases" refers back to the two specific instances just mentioned: the instance of confidence in Congress and the instance of confidence in the government.
    *   It refers to specific situations, circumstances, or examples of the phenomenon being discussed (confidence levels).

3.  **Evaluate candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1 (case%1:11:00::):* Definition: "an occurrence of something". Synonyms: instance, example. Examples: "it was a case of bad judgment".
        *   Evaluation: This fits reasonably well. The survey found a certain percentage for Congress and another for the government. These are two instances or occurrences of survey results. "In both instances" works.

    *   *Sense 2 (case%1:26:00::):* Definition: "a special set of circumstances". Synonyms: event. Examples: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded".
        *   Evaluation: This is a strong contender. It refers to a situation or set of circumstances. However, usually, "case" in the phrase "in both cases" when referring to specific data points often leans towards "instance/example". Let's look closer. Is it a "special set of circumstances"? Or just "occurrences"?
        *   Let's look at the sentence: "34% said they had confidence in Congress... and 45% in government... the same as last year in both cases".
        *   Here, "case" refers to the specific scenario of "confidence in Congress" and the specific scenario of "confidence in government". These are specific instances of the broader topic (confidence).
        *   Sense 1 ("an occurrence of something", synonyms "instance", "example") seems slightly more precise for distinct data points/scenarios being compared or listed. Sense 2 often implies a specific condition or hypothetical ("in which case"). Sense 1 captures the idea of "instance" better. For example, "Case A: Congress. Case B: Government."

    *   *Sense 3 (legal):* No.
    *   *Sense 4 (state of things):* "the actual state of things". Example: "that was not the case". This is usually used to affirm or deny a reality, not to refer to specific items in a list.
    *   *Sense 5 (container):* No.
    *   *Sense 6 (professional client):* No.
    *   *Sense 7 (medical/subject):* No.
    *   *Sense 8 (investigation):* No.
    *   *Sense 9 (argument):* No.

    *   *Re-evaluating Sense 1 vs Sense 2:*
        *   Sense 1: "an occurrence of something". Synonyms: instance, example.
        *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances". Synonyms: event.
        *   In the phrase "in both cases", the speaker is saying "in both instances" (Congress confidence and Government confidence).
        *   WordNet sense hierarchy often puts "instance/example" as sense 1.
        *   Let's check usage examples for Sense 1. "another instance occurred yesterday". "it was a case of bad judgment".
        *   Let's check usage examples for Sense 2. "in that event...", "it may rain in which case...".
        *   The context here is listing two separate items (Congress, Government) and stating a property applies to both. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1 ("instance"). We are treating the situation regarding Congress and the situation regarding Government as two instances of the survey question.
        *   Therefore, "in both instances" is the intended meaning. Sense 1 defines "case" as "an occurrence of something" with synonym "instance".

4.  **Conclusion:**
    Sense 1 is the best fit. It denotes specific instances or examples (confidence in Congress, confidence in government). The phrase "in both cases" is functionally equivalent to "in both instances".

    *   Context: "confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government... in both cases".
    *   Meaning: In both instances (of confidence measurement).
    *   Match: Sense 1. "an occurrence of something", synonyms=instance, example.

    Let's double check Sense 2. "A special set of circumstances". While "situation" is close, the enumeration of specific items (Congress vs Government) makes "instance" (Sense 1) the finer-grained choice over "circumstances/event" (Sense 2). Sense 2 usually deals with conditions ("in case of fire"). Sense 1 deals with countable occurrences ("we saw three cases of the disease", "in both cases mentioned above").

    The text lists two scenarios.
    Scenario 1: Confidence in Congress.
    Scenario 2: Confidence in Government.
    These are two instances/occurrences of the survey finding.
    Therefore, Sense 1.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The phrase is "economic woes".
    *   The text discusses "economic growth", "big drop in output", "recession", "world financial crisis".
    *   The term "woes" here refers to the negative economic situation—troubles, difficulties, problems, or hardships.
    *   It refers to the objective state of the economy affecting the people/country, rather than an emotional state of mournfulness.

3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses:**
    *   Sense 1 (`woe%1:26:00::`): "misery resulting from affliction". Synonyms: "suffering".
        *   This sense aligns with "troubles" or "calamities". In WordNet, `woe` often has a sense related to "woes" meaning troubles or afflictions. Let's check the hierarchy. `woe%1:26:00::` is under `state` -> `adversity` -> `woe`? Actually, looking at standard WordNet 3.1 or 3.0:
            *   `woe` (n) 1: misery resulting from affliction (syn: suffering).
            *   `woe` (n) 2: intense mournfulness (syn: woefulness).
        *   However, there is often a third sense for "woes" (plural) meaning "troubles" or "problems".
        *   Let's look strictly at the provided options.
        *   Option 1: "misery resulting from affliction". Does "economic woes" fit here? Yes. Economic woes cause misery/suffering, or they are the affliction itself. The phrase "economic woes" is a collocation often defined as "economic troubles" or "economic difficulties". In WordNet, does sense 1 cover this?
        *   Let's check the specific mapping of `woe%1:26:00::`. In Princeton WordNet:
            *   Sense 1: misery resulting from affliction (syn: suffering).
            *   Sense 2: intense mournfulness (syn: woefulness).
        *   Is there a sense for "troubles"?
            *   In older WordNet versions, "woes" is often treated under the first sense or a specific "troubles" sense.
            *   If we look at the mapping:
                *   Sense 1: "misery resulting from affliction".
                *   Sense 2: "intense mournfulness".
        *   Let's consider the usage "economic woes". "Woes" here acts as a synonym for "troubles" or "afflictions".
        *   Sense 1 "misery resulting from affliction" captures the negative condition/hardship.
        *   Sense 2 "intense mournfulness" is an emotion. "Economic intense mournfulness" doesn't make sense. The context describes the state of the economy (recession, drop in output), not the emotional reaction of the people (though that might be a result, the *woes* themselves are the economic problems).
        *   Therefore, Sense 2 is incorrect because it describes a feeling/emotion.
        *   Sense 1 "misery resulting from affliction" or broadly "affliction/trouble" is the correct direction. Even if the definition "misery resulting from affliction" sounds like the *result*, in common usage and WordNet annotation, "woes" (plural) usually maps to the sense dealing with troubles/afflictions (Sense 1), which often encompasses the state of suffering or the things causing it.
        *   In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
            *   The noun `woe` has 2 senses.
            *   1. misery resulting from affliction. (syn: suffering).
            *   2. intense mournfulness. (syn: woefulness).
        *   Wait, is "woes" (troubles) strictly Sense 1?
        *   Often, metonymy allows "woes" to mean "troubles" (the cause of woe).
        *   However, given only two options:
            *   Option 1 refers to the condition of suffering/misery/affliction.
            *   Option 2 refers to the emotion of mournfulness.
        *   "Economic woes" are economic troubles/problems/afflictions.
        *   Does Sense 1 cover "troubles"? Yes, much better than Sense 2. Affliction involves a state of distress or trouble. "Economic woes" are the afflictions or the resulting misery of the economy.
        *   In disambiguation datasets (like SemCor), "woes" in phrases like "the world's woes" or "financial woes" maps to Sense 1 (the state of suffering/affliction/trouble) rather than Sense 2 (the emotion).
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the clear choice between the two.

4.  **Verification:**
    *   Context: "economic woes".
    *   Sense 1: misery/suffering/affliction.
    *   Sense 2: mournfulness (emotion).
    *   "Economic" modifies "woes". We are talking about the state of the economy (bad state). It refers to the troubles.
    *   "Woe" in the sense of "trouble" is derived from the state of suffering. It is not an emotion here.
    *   Thus, Sense 1 is the correct selection.

5.  **Formatting Output:**
    *   JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word:** The target lemma is "support" used as a noun (based on the glosses provided, though the surface form could be a verb, the context implies a noun meaning "approval/advocacy"). The context is: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy."

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The sentence discusses "support for democracy".
    *   Earlier in the text: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005..." referring to public opinion/polls.
    *   Later: "only around half of respondents... are convinced democrats".
    *   The context is political and social. It refers to people's backing, approval, or advocacy for a political system (democracy). It is an abstract concept, not physical support, financial support, or military support.

3.  **Evaluate candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1 (providing money/necessities):* This refers to financial or material maintenance (e.g., family support). While economic woes are mentioned as the cause, the "support" itself is public backing of an idea/system, not material sustenance. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 2 (aiding the cause or policy or interests of):* Definition: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party". This fits well. "Support for democracy" is aiding the cause/interest of democracy. It implies political backing.
    *   *Sense 3 (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest):* Definition: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Example: "the policy found little public support". This also fits well. "Support for democracy" is immaterial assistance (votes, approval, stability) to a cause.
    *   *Sense 4 (military operation):* Not military context. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 5 (documentary validation):* Not about documents. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 6 (livelihood):* Not about living expenses. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 7 (supporting structure):* Not physical. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 8 (act of bearing weight):* Not physical. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 9 (musical part):* Not music. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 10 (device bearing weight):* Not physical. -> Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 11 (financial resources for a project):* Not about funding a specific project experiment, but general public/political backing. -> Incorrect.

4.  **Distinguish between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Example: "the policy found little public support".

    Both are very close. Let's look at the nuances.
    *   Sense 2 often implies active aiding or backing, often associated with groups or political entities (party support).
    *   Sense 3 emphasizes the "immaterial assistance" aspect.
    *   The context here is "support for democracy" as measured by polls (40%, 61%). This is public approval or backing.
    *   Let's look at the examples provided in the dictionary entries again.
        *   Sense 2 example: "president no longer has the support of his own party". This feels like political backing.
        *   Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support". This is almost identical to "support for democracy".
    *   Let's look at the definitions again.
        *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause..."
        *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance..."

    The phrase "support for democracy" usually refers to public opinion or the sentiment of the populace backing the system.
    Sense 3's example "the policy found little public support" is a semantic match for "support for democracy has risen...".
    However, Sense 2's definition "aiding the cause... or interests of" is also very strong.

    Let's check WordNet hierarchies or typical usage.
    In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
    *   Sense 2 (support%1:04:00::) is defined as "aiding the cause or policy or interests of".
    *   Sense 3 (support%1:09:00::) is defined as "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Note the difference in synset offset (1:04 vs 1:09). Actually, let's check the synset structure usually found in WordNet.
    *   Usually, there is a sense regarding "backing" or "political support".
    *   Sense 2 often maps to the synset {support} where the definition is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". The example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" fits the political context.
    *   Sense 3 often maps to the synset {support} where the definition is "something providing immaterial assistance...". Example: "his faith was all the support he needed".

    Let's look at the target sentence: "undermined support for democracy."
    Is "support" here the act of aiding (Sense 2) or the abstract entity of assistance (Sense 3)?
    The percentage figures (40%, 61%) suggest "support" is being quantified as a level of approval/backing.
    In many WSD systems, "public support" for a policy or system aligns with Sense 2 (often labeled as "political support" or "backing"). Sense 3 often feels more like "moral support" or "emotional support" (e.g., faith).

    Let's compare examples again.
    Sense 2: "mutual support", "support of his own party". This seems to be the sense used for political backing.
    Sense 3: "faith was all the support", "policy found little public support". Wait, the example for Sense 3 ("policy found little public support") is actually *extremely* close to the target context ("support for democracy").

    If Sense 3 explicitly uses "public support" for a "policy" in its example, and the target is "support for democracy" (a political system/policy interest), Sense 3 seems the intended match based on the provided examples.
    However, Sense 2's definition "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" is arguably a better definition text for the concept of political support. "Democracy" is a "cause or policy or interest".
    Sense 3's definition is "something providing immaterial assistance". "Democracy" is a cause/interest, but is "support for democracy" *something providing* assistance? Or is it the *act/concept of aiding*?

    Let's check the semantic relations.
    Sense 2 (1:04:00) usually has synonyms like "backing".
    Sense 3 (1:09:00) usually has synonyms like "encouragement"? No, looking at standard WordNet entries:
    Synset 05892557 (often Sense 2 in some lists): "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" -> Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
    Synset 05892944 (often Sense 3): "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" -> Example: "the policy found little public support".

    Wait, the example for Sense 3 ("the policy found little public support") is the deciding factor here. The target context is "support for democracy" in the context of public opinion polls. This matches the example in Sense 3 perfectly.
    Sense 2's example focuses on party support for a president.
    Sense 3's example focuses on public support for a policy.
    The target context is public support for democracy.
    Therefore, Sense 3 is the better fit based on the provided examples.

    Let's double check Sense 11 ("financial resources").
    The text mentions "economic woes", but the support itself is "support for democracy", which is distinct from "financial support for a project". Sense 11 examples: "foundation provided support for the experiment". This is financial. The target is about popularity/approval. So Sense 11 is out.

    It comes down to Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    Target: "support for democracy" (public approval/backing).
    Sense 2: "aiding the cause...". Example: "president no longer has the support of his own party".
    Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance...". Example: "the policy found little public support".

    The specific phrase "public support" appears in the Sense 3 example. The target context discusses percentages of respondents (public support). This aligns Sense 3 with the target usage much more closely than Sense 2 (which deals with party politics or mutual support schemes).

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct choice.

    Index mapping:
    1 -> 1:04:04 (providing money)
    2 -> 1:04:00 (aiding cause/policy)
    3 -> 1:09:00 (immaterial assistance)

    The best match is index 3.

Target lemma: country
Target surface form: countries
Context:
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 Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target lemma and surface form:**
    *   Lemma: country
    *   Surface form: countries
    *   Context: The text discusses Latin American economies, democracy surveys, and government institutions. The specific target sentence is: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The sentence mentions "Latin American countries".
    *   These entities are described as suffering a recession and enjoying a recovery.
    *   Recession and recovery are macroeconomic concepts usually applied to political states or nations as economic units.
    *   The previous sentences refer to "Mexico", "Brazil", "the region's", "Congress", "government".
    *   The usage implies sovereign states with defined borders, governments, and economic systems.

3.  **Evaluate candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (country%1:14:00::):** "a politically organized body of people under a single government" | synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic.
        *   *Fit:* This definition focuses on the political organization. "Latin American countries" certainly refers to politically organized bodies (states). The example "African nations" is very similar to "Latin American countries".

    *   **Sense 2 (country%1:15:00::):** "the territory occupied by a nation" | synonyms: state, land.
        *   *Fit:* This focuses on the land/territory. While countries have territory, the context here ("suffered only a brief recession") implies the economic entity/governance unit more than just the dirt/land itself. However, "country" is often used interchangeably for the state or the land. Let's compare with Sense 1. Sense 1 emphasizes the *people* and *government*. Sense 2 emphasizes the *territory*.
        *   Usually, when talking about "countries suffering a recession", we are talking about the political/economic entity (Sense 1) or perhaps the territory (Sense 2). However, WordNet distinctions can be subtle.
        *   Let's look at the hypernyms/hierarchy if possible (mentally).
        *   Sense 1 is under `group` -> `social group` -> `organization` -> `polity`... It views the country as an *actor* (a body politic).
        *   Sense 2 is under `location` -> `region`. It views the country as a *place*.
        *   The sentence says countries "suffered... and have enjoyed...". These are things actors do (Sense 1). While metonymy allows places to "suffer", the context of "Latin American countries" in a political/economic discussion about democracy and government strongly points towards the political entity.

    *   **Sense 3 (country%1:14:01::):** "the people who live in a nation or country" | synonyms: nation, land.
        *   *Fit:* The example is "sums up the nation's mood". Here, "countries" refers to the state/economy, not just the populace. While a recession affects the people, the phrasing "Latin American countries" usually refers to the geopolitical entities.

    *   **Sense 4 (country%1:15:01::):** "an area outside of cities and towns" | synonyms: rural area.
        *   *Fit:* Incorrect. Context is clearly about nations.

    *   **Sense 5 (country%1:15:02::):** "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary..." | synonyms: area.
        *   *Fit:* Incorrect. Latin American countries have definite boundaries and are political states.

4.  **Refine choice between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   The key difference in WordNet between 1:14:00 and 1:15:00 is usually "political entity/people" vs "territory/place".
    *   Sentence: "...many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession..."
    *   Does a territory suffer a recession? Or does a political entity (state) suffer a recession?
    *   The recession is a phenomenon of the economy managed by the government (mentioned earlier).
    *   Sense 1 synonyms: state, nation, body politic. This fits the discussion of "democracy", "Congress", "government".
    *   Sense 2 synonyms: state, land. Examples: "he visited several European countries". This usage focuses on the location/travel.
    *   The current context focuses on political/economic status and action. "Latin American countries" serves as a synonym for "Latin American states" or "nations".
    *   Sense 1 seems the primary sense for a political unit acting on a world stage (financial crisis).

    Let's look closely at the distinction again.
    Sense 1: `state` (as in government/polity).
    Sense 2: `land` (territory).
    The sentence talks about "output", "recession", "recovery", "social safety net". These are attributes of the political/economic organization (Sense 1).

    Let's verify the examples for Sense 1: "the state has elected a new president", "African nations".
    Let's verify the examples for Sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth", "he visited several European countries".
    The phrase "Latin American countries" looks like the Sense 2 example "European countries". However, the *predicate* "suffered a recession" applies to the *entity* defined by its governance/economy (Sense 1).
    Often, WordNet users struggle with 1 vs 2.
    If I say "I visited five countries", that is Sense 2 (locations).
    If I say "Five countries signed a treaty", that is Sense 1 (political actors).
    Here: "countries suffered a recession". Is this an actor or a location? A recession is an event that happens *in* a location, but *to* an economy (system of the polity).
    Actually, the most standard mapping for "countries" in a list of geopolitical entities (like "Latin American countries") when referring to their economic/political state is Sense 1.
    However, some annotators might lean Sense 2 because it lists "European countries" as an example.
    Let's look at the hypernym structure logic again.
    Sense 1: `group` -> `organization`.
    Sense 2: `object` -> `location`.
    "Countries" here are agents of recovery. "Enjoyed a strong recovery". Agents perform actions. Organizations/bodies politic perform actions. Locations do not "enjoy" things in a literal sense, though metonymy exists.
    Sense 1 is the "body politic" sense. The text discusses democracy, Congress, government, and economic management. This aligns perfectly with "body politic" (Sense 1).

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the best choice.

5.  **Final Check:**
    *   Target: countries
    *   Context: "many Latin American countries suffered..."
    *   Sense 1: Politically organized body... state, nation. Fits well. "Latin American nations/states".
    *   Sense 2: Territory... land. Fits less well because the predicate implies an economic agent, not just a plot of land.
    *   Sense 3: The people. Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: Rural area. Incorrect.
    *   Sense 5: Region. Incorrect.

    Decision: Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma and Context:**
    *   **Target Lemma:** recession
    *   **Context:** The sentence mentions "economic woes," "world financial crisis," "suffered only a brief recession," and "strong recovery." It discusses GDP, employment, and the general state of the economy in Latin America. The phrase "suffered only a brief recession" clearly refers to a period of economic decline.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `recession%1:26:00::` | definition="the state of the economy declines; a widespread decline in the GDP and employment and trade lasting from six months to a year". This fits the context of economic downturns, financial crisis, and recovery mentioned in the text.
    *   **Sense 2:** `recession%1:25:00::` | definition="a small concavity" | synonyms=recess, niche, corner. This refers to a physical indentation or nook. This does not fit the economic context.
    *   **Sense 3:** `recession%1:14:00::` | definition="the withdrawal of the clergy and choir from the chancel to the vestry at the end of a church service" | synonyms=recessional. This is a specific religious term. It does not fit the economic context.
    *   **Sense 4:** `recession%1:04:01::` | definition="the act of ceding back" | synonyms=ceding back. This refers to giving back territory or rights. It does not fit the context.
    *   **Sense 5:** `recession%1:04:00::` | definition="the act of becoming more distant" | synonyms=receding. This refers to physical movement away. While an economy could metaphorically recede, the specific term "recession" in the context of "financial crisis" and "recovery" refers to the specific economic cycle phase defined in Sense 1.

3.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   The context is explicitly about the economy ("economic woes," "financial crisis," "output").
    *   Sense 1 is the standard economic definition of a recession.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

4.  **Format the Output:**
    *   The user requested a JSON object: `{"sense_index": X}`.

reasoning_content:
The context is about an economy recovering after a recession. The sentence mentions "suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery".
Sense 1: "return to an original state". The example is "the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid". An economic recovery is a return to an original state (before the recession). This fits well.
Sense 2: "gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury". This applies to health, not economy.
Sense 3: "the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)". This is more about retrieving a physical object or saving something.

An economic recovery fits best under "return to an original state" (Sense 1), as it refers to the economy returning to its previous healthy state after a drop or recession.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best choice.

    *   Sense 1: `safety_net%1:10:00::` | Definition: "a guarantee of professional or financial security". (Note: WordNet often defines this as "a guarantee of professional or financial security" or sometimes "a large net...". Let's look closely at the provided definition.)
    *   Sense 1 (provided definition): "a guarantee of professional or financial security".
    *   Sense 2: `safety_net%1:06:00::` | Definition: "a large strong net to catch circus acrobats who fall or jump from a trapeze".

3.  **Evaluate Sense Fit:**
    *   *Sense 2 (literal circus net):* The context talks about social policies, economics, shielding the poor, and poverty rates. It is clearly using the term metaphorically, not referring to a physical net under trapeze artists. This is incorrect.
    *   *Sense 1 (figurative security):* The context mentions "a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor." This refers to social programs (welfare, unemployment benefits, etc.) that provide financial security or a fallback mechanism for citizens during economic downturns. The definition "a guarantee of professional or financial security" fits this usage perfectly. It is the metaphorical extension of the physical net.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 matches the context of economic/social support structures.

5.  **Format the Output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object like `{"sense_index": 1}`.
    *   The index corresponds to the list provided (1 or 2).
    *   Selected index: 1.

6.  **Final Check:**
    *   Context: "stronger social safety net... shield the poor".
    *   Sense 1: "guarantee of professional or financial security".
    *   Match: Yes.

Target lemma: week
Target surface form: week
Context:
Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor. (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this <t>week</t> that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB- But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4).

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Word**: The target word is "week" (noun).
2.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   Sentence: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this <t>week</t> that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."
    *   Surrounding text discusses a report being released "this week". It refers to a specific time period relative to the current moment of reporting.
3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses**:
    *   **Sense 1 (week%1:28:00::)**: Definition: "any period of seven consecutive days". Synonyms: "hebdomad". Examples: "it rained for a week". This is the general definition of a week as a duration or a span of time without specific reference to a calendar structure (like starting on Sunday or Monday) or working hours.
    *   **Sense 2 (week%1:28:01::)**: Definition: "hours or days of work in a calendar week". Synonyms: "workweek". Examples: "they worked a 40-hour week". This refers to labor/employment contexts. The context is about a UN report release, not working hours.
    *   **Sense 3 (week%1:28:02::)**: Definition: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday". Synonyms: "calendar week". This specifies a specific start day (Sunday) often used in North American contexts, or sometimes implies the calendar unit in a specific slot. However, usually, when people say "reported this week", they mean the current span of 7 days containing today. WordNet's distinction between sense 1 and sense 3 is often subtle.
    *   *Re-evaluating Sense 1 vs Sense 3*:
        *   Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days".
        *   Sense 3: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" (specifically a calendar week).
        *   In the phrase "this week", it refers to the specific calendar week in which the reporting happens. However, WordNet's Sense 1 is the general "any period of seven days". Sense 3 is the specific "calendar week".
        *   Let's look at the usage "reported this week". Does it imply the strict "Sunday-to-Saturday" or "Monday-to-Sunday" calendar week? Or just a general 7-day period around "now"? "This week" usually aligns with the calendar week concept (the week defined by the calendar).
        *   However, let's look at the definitions again. Sense 1 is defined as "any period of seven consecutive days". Sense 3 is defined as "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday".
        *   Usually, when "this week" is used, it refers to the specific slice of time on the calendar.
        *   Let's check common WordNet tagging practices. Often, "last week", "next week", "this week" are treated as the general unit of time (Sense 1) or the specific calendar division (Sense 3).
        *   Let's compare the granularity. Sense 1 is "hebdomad". Sense 3 is "calendar week".
        *   Context: "reported this week". This is a specific point in time or a short duration within the current calendar week.
        *   Most Word Sense Disambiguation datasets (like SemCor) often tag general references to the unit of time ("week") as Sense 1. Sense 3 is quite specific to the definition of a calendar week starting on Sunday (which is not universal globally, making it a less likely candidate for general text unless the text specifically highlights the calendar structure).
        *   Furthermore, Sense 1 ("any period of seven consecutive days") covers "this week" as the period of 7 days currently ongoing. Sense 3 implies a strict calendar rule ("starting on Sunday"). The text is from *The Economist* (likely source given the style and content like "chart 3"), dealing with Latin America. In many cultures (including Latin America), the week starts on Monday. Sense 3's definition "starting on Sunday" is a specific US-centric or religious-centric definition in WordNet. Sense 1 is the general definition.
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the safest and most accurate choice for the general usage of "this week" in an international publication context. It denotes the period of time, not the specific labor measure (Sense 2) or the Sunday-start calendar unit (Sense 3).

    *   *Decision*: Sense 1 is the standard sense for "week" used as a general time unit (e.g., "this week", "next week", "a week ago").

4.  **Final Selection**:
    *   Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days". Fits "reported this week".
    *   Sense 2: Work context. Incorrect.
    *   Sense 3: Sunday-start calendar week. Too specific and potentially incorrect for the context (international text). Sense 1 encompasses the general 7-day period meaning.

    Result: Sense 1.

The target word is "proportion" in the context: "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. proportion%1:24:00:: - the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole. (This fits perfectly: the part = Latin Americans living in poverty; the whole = all Latin Americans. The value is 32%, which is a quotient/fraction/percentage).
2. proportion%1:07:00:: - magnitude or extent. (Doesn't fit).
3. proportion%1:25:00:: - balance among the parts of something. (Doesn't fit).
4. proportion%1:24:01:: - the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree. Synonyms: ratio. Examples: an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations. (This is also a possibility, but "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" is a part-to-whole relationship, specifically a quotient of a part divided by the whole. Sense 1 specifies "magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole". Sense 4 is more like a general relation/ratio between things. The example "an inordinate proportion of the book" aligns with part-to-whole. However, 32% is strictly a quotient of a part divided by the whole. Let's compare 1 and 4 carefully. In WordNet, 1:24:00:: is part-whole quotient. 1:24:01:: is relation between things with respect to comparative quantity. Wait, actually, the 32% clearly indicates it's a part divided by the whole.)
Wait, "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" corresponds to the percentage/fraction of the whole population.
Let's look at the examples for Sense 4: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations; a dry martini has a large proportion of gin". Both of these examples for Sense 4 also represent a part-to-whole relation.
Let's check WordNet definitions.
Sense 1: the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole
Sense 4: the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree
"Proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" means the percentage (quotient of part/whole). Sense 1 is exactly a mathematical quotient of part/whole, which fits 32%. Sense 4 is more general, like "a large proportion of gin", which doesn't necessarily mean an exact quotient.
Wait, in WordNet 3.0:
1. proportion -- the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole
4. proportion -- the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree; "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations"; "a dry martini has a large proportion of gin"

The text says "the proportion ... to 32%". This gives an exact quotient, which strongly points to Sense 1.

Let's re-read carefully.
"the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose ... to 32%"
This is definitely a quotient of part (poor Latin Americans) divided by whole (all Latin Americans).
So Sense 1.

Let's check the sense indices.
1. sense_key=proportion%1:24:00:: (quotient)
2. sense_key=proportion%1:07:00:: (magnitude)
3. sense_key=proportion%1:25:00:: (balance)
4. sense_key=proportion%1:24:01:: (relation)
5. sense_key=proportion%1:07:01:: (harmonious arrangement)

Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit because it explicitly mentions the quotient of a part divided by the whole.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:**
    *   Target lemma: `year`
    *   Context: A paragraph discussing survey results about satisfaction with democracy in Latin America over time. The specific sentence is: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this <t>year</t>, to 32%."
    *   Task: Choose the single best indexed sense from the provided list.
    *   Constraint: Return only a JSON object like `{"sense_index": X}`.

2.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:**
    *   Sentence: "...has fallen again this year..."
    *   Meaning: "This year" refers to the current calendar year (the period of 365/366 days) in which the report was made. It is referring to the standard measure of time defined by the calendar.

3.  **Evaluate 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 sense refers to the calendar year, a standard duration of time. "This year" fits this definition perfectly. It is the general usage of "year" to denote the 12-month period.

    *   **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 specific *subset* of the year dedicated to an activity (like a school year, fiscal year). While the report is about economics, "this year" in the phrase "this year" generally refers to the calendar year, not a specific fiscal or academic period defined by activity. The context compares it to "in 2009", which is a calendar year reference. This sense is too specific and incorrect for the general phrase "this 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 a calendar year is based on this, usage in a socio-economic report ("this year") aligns with the calendar/civil definition (Sense 1), not the scientific astronomical discussion of planetary orbits. Sense 1 captures the civil usage better.

    *   **Sense 4:** `year%1:14:00::` | Definition: "a body of students who graduate together" | Synonyms: `class` | Examples: "the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High".
        *   *Analysis:* This is clearly wrong. The context is about time/poverty rates, not a group of students.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the standard definition of a calendar year or a period of 12 months. The phrase "this year" denotes the current period of 365/366 days.
    *   WordNet usually distinguishes between the astronomical year (often Sense 0 or similar depending on version/ordering, here index 3) and the calendar/civil year (often Sense 1, here index 1).
    *   The text says "fallen again this year". This is a temporal reference to the current calendar year.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

5.  **Final Output Generation:**
    *   The requested format is JSON: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

1.  **Analyze the Target Word:** The target lemma is "mood". The context is: "But the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance..."

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The sentence is talking about opinions and attitudes within countries (Latin America).
    *   It mentions confidence in Congress/government, support for democracy, economic performance, and a sense of progress.
    *   The phrase "the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country" implies a collective feeling or atmosphere within a nation, not an individual's temporary emotion.
    *   The preceding sentences discuss "support for democracy," "economic woes," and "social safety net." These are societal/political factors.

3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `mood%1:12:00::` - "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling". Synonyms: temper, humor. Examples: "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time", "he was in a bad humor".
        *   *Evaluation:* This sense is focused on an individual's emotional state (feeling happy, sad, angry, etc.). The context here is political/societal ("from country to country"). While a country can be personified, Sense 1 usually applies to specific individuals. The context is about public opinion/confidence levels.

    *   **Sense 2:** `mood%1:26:00::` - "the prevailing psychological state". Synonyms: climate. Examples: "the climate of opinion", "the national mood had changed radically since the last election".
        *   *Evaluation:* This sense is defined as a "prevailing psychological state" (often of a group or population). The example "the national mood had changed radically..." matches the context of "country to country" and discussions of confidence in government/democracy. The text talks about the general attitude of the population in different Latin American countries.

    *   **Sense 3:** `mood%1:24:00::` - "verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker". Synonyms: mode, modality.
        *   *Evaluation:* This is a grammatical term. The context is clearly about politics/economics/sociology, not grammar.

4.  **Compare and Select:**
    *   Sense 1 is about individual emotion.
    *   Sense 3 is about grammar.
    *   Sense 2 is about the collective state of mind (national mood/public opinion).
    *   The text discusses how different countries feel about their situation (confidence, support for democracy). This fits the definition of "prevailing psychological state" perfectly. The example provided ("the national mood") is semantically identical to the usage in the text.

5.  **Determine Sense Index:** The chosen sense corresponds to the second entry in the list.
    *   List order: 1, 2, 3.
    *   Selected: Sense 2.

6.  **Format Output:** JSON object `{"sense_index": 2}`.

1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Target word: "country" in the phrase "But the mood varies widely from <t>country</t> to country".
    *   The sentence discusses how the "mood" (presumably political or economic sentiment) differs across various political entities in Latin America.

    *   The sentence talks about moving from one entity to another entity, where these entities have presidents, economic performance, and are compared on a chart (Chart 4).
    *   It refers to political units within Latin America (like Brazil, mentioned later).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 2:** `country%1:15:00::` | definition: "the territory occupied by a nation" | synonyms: state, land | examples: "he returned to the land of his birth", "he visited several European countries".
        *   *Focus:* The geographical territory. While one travels from country to country, the context emphasizes the *mood* (political sentiment), government, and economic performance, which are attributes of the political entity (Sense 1) rather than just the land mass (Sense 2). However, the phrase "from country to country" implies geographical movement or variation across space. Let's look closer. The phrase "mood varies... from country to country" means the sentiment varies depending on which political jurisdiction you are in.

    *   **Sense 3:** `country%1:14:01::` | definition: "the people who live in a nation or country" | synonyms: nation, land | examples: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood", "the news was announced to the nation".
        *   *Focus:* The population/demographics. The context mentions "mood", which belongs to people. However, "from country to country" usually refers to the political/geographical unit, not just the people. The variation is between states (Brazil vs. others).

    *   **Sense 4:** `country%1:15:01::` | definition: "an area outside of cities and towns" | synonyms: rural area.
        *   *Focus:* Rural vs. Urban.
        *   *Verdict:* Incorrect. The text is about nations like Brazil.

    *   **Sense 5:** `country%1:15:02::` | definition: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary..."
        *   *Focus:* "Bible country", "mountainous area".
        *   *Verdict:* Incorrect. These are specific nation-states.

3.  **Refine the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   The distinction is often subtle in WordNet between "political entity" (1) and "territory" (2).
    *   Context: "mood varies... from country to country". The mood is a collective attribute. The comparison is between distinct political units (Brazil is mentioned explicitly).
    *   Sense 1 Examples: "the state has elected a new president", "African nations". This aligns with the mention of "Congress", "government", "President Lula".
    *   Sense 2 Examples: "returned to the land", "visited several European countries". This focuses on the physical place.
    *   The text discusses "support for democracy", "economic woes", "Congress", "government", "recession". These are attributes of a *politically organized body* (Sense 1). While "from country to country" suggests spatial variation, the entities generating the mood are the political organizations/states.
    *   Often, "country" in international relations contexts (Latin American countries, Brazil's performance) maps to Sense 1 (state, nation, body politic). The text treats "country" as a unit of political and economic analysis.
    *   Sense 1 is the standard sense for "nation" or "state" in a political context. Sense 2 is more geographical. Since the context is heavily political/economic (Congress, government, democracy, President), Sense 1 is the strongest fit. The "mood" belongs to the body politic.

4.  **Final check:**
    *   The sentence says the mood varies from country to country.
    *   Brazil is a country (State).
    *   Is it the territory or the state? The mood is political/economic. These define the State.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

    Let's double check Sense 1 definition: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    Context mentions: "confidence in their country's Congress", "government", "democracy", "Brazil's... president".
    This fits the definition of Sense 1 perfectly.

    Result: Sense 1.

Context:
Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor. (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB- But the mood varies widely from country to <t>country</t> (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress.

Let me eliminate:
- Sense 4 is about rural areas - definitely not this
- Sense 5 is about a region (like "Bible country") - not this either

Now between senses 1, 2, and 3:
- Sense 1: politically organized body of people under a single government (political entity)
- Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation (geographical territory)
- Sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country (the population)

The context "the mood varies widely from country to country" - we're comparing different countries. The passage is discussing different nations in Latin America (Brazil is mentioned, and others are implied).

The "mood" being discussed is the public opinion or sentiment, which relates to the people within those countries. However, the word "country" itself in "from country to country" is referring to the entity - the nation-state.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1: "African nations" - this is similar to "Latin American countries"
- Sense 2: "he visited several European countries" - also similar
- Sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this uses "nation" referring to the people

The phrase "from country to country" is talking about the entities (nations/states) themselves. When we say "varies from country to country," we're talking about the political/geographical entities.

Between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1 emphasizes the political organization (government aspect)
- Sense 2 emphasizes the territory

In this context, we're discussing political/governmental matters (Congress, government, democracy, presidents) and economic matters across different countries. The countries are being compared as political entities.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - because the context involves governmental institutions (Congress, government), political concepts (democracy), and we're comparing different nations as organized political entities.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase "from country to country" is quite general. Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "African nations" - collective reference
- Sense 2 example: "he visited several European countries" - this is very similar to comparing from one country to another

Both could work. But given that the context is about political/governmental confidence and democracy, sense 1 (political entity) seems more fitting than just territory (sense 2).

I'll go with sense 1.
