Context:
A positive effect on wages In the same way as a surgeon would find it difficult to work in a country with a shortage of anaesthetists, the complementarities existing between locals and immigrants bring it about that the arrival of immigrants has a positive effect on the pay of locals. Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay. And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants). Migrants are also net contributors to social systems, averaging 1% of the total budgets of European countries. The World Labor <t>Organisation</t> estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime. Nicolas Sarkozy wished at the start of his mandate to look for missing points of growth "with the teeth."

The context is "The World Labor Organisation estimates that..." - here "Organisation" refers to a body/entity that administers something, like the World Labor Organisation (ILO - International Labour Organization). This is an administrative body.

Sense 1: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something" - this fits "World Labor Organisation" as an administrative body.

Sense 2: "a group of people who work together" - this is more general.

The "World Labor Organisation" is a specific administrative/governing body. Sense 1 seems more appropriate with its synonyms like "administration, governance, governing body, establishment."

Let me reconsider. The World Labor Organisation is indeed a body that administers something - it's an international organization. Both sense 1 and sense 2 could work.

Sense 1 focuses on the administrative aspect - "the persons who make up a body for the purpose of administering something." The World Labor Organisation is indeed an administrative/governing body that administers labor policies and standards.

Sense 2 is more general - "a group of people who work together."

The World Labor Organisation (likely referring to the ILO - International Labour Organization) is a specialized agency of the UN that administers international labor standards. It's more of an administrative/governing body.

Sense 1 seems the best fit.

The target word is "age" in the context: "an immigrant arriving at the age of 30".

This refers to a specific point in someone's life, defined in years (30 years old).

Sense 3: "a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises" with examples "she was now of school age; tall for his eld". This fits "age of 30" - it's a time of life defined in years.

Sense 1: "how long something has existed" - this is more general, like the age of an object.

The phrase "at the age of 30" refers to a specific time in life, defined in years. Sense 3 seems most appropriate.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "contribution" in the context: "an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

Here, "contribution" refers to an amount of money contributed. The context specifies it's a net financial contribution (receipts less expenditure) of 150,000 Euros to public budgets.

Looking at the senses:
1. The part played by a person in bringing about a result - too general, doesn't focus on money
2. A voluntary gift (as of money or service or ideas) made to some worthwhile cause - close, but this implies a voluntary gift
3. Act of giving in common with others for a common purpose especially to a charity - not quite right
4. An amount of money contributed - this fits well, as the context talks about a specific monetary amount (150,000 Euros)
5. A writing for publication - clearly wrong

Sense 4 seems best because the context specifically mentions an amount of money (150,000 Euros) as the contribution. The example "he expected his contribution to be repaid with interest" also aligns with financial contributions.

Wait, but sense 4 says "an amount of money contributed" and the example mentions repayment with interest. The context here is about net contribution to public budgets, which is about money paid into the system. Sense 4 seems to fit best.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 2 says "a voluntary gift (as of money or service or ideas) made to some worthwhile cause" with synonym "donation". The context is about immigrants contributing to public budgets - this is more of a financial contribution to a cause (public system). But the word "gift" might not fit perfectly since it's not exactly a gift - it's taxes and contributions to social systems.

Sense 4 "an amount of money contributed" with example "he expected his contribution to be repaid with interest" seems to fit the financial nature of the contribution described (150,000 Euros).

I'll go with sense 4.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "will make a net contribution (receipts less <t>expenditure</t>) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

Here, "expenditure" refers to money paid out by the public system for the immigrant, i.e., the amount spent on them. "receipts less expenditure" means income minus spending. This is about an amount of money spent, not the act of spending or the act of consuming.

Sense 1: "money paid out; an amount spent" - synonyms: outgo, spending, outlay. This fits perfectly as it refers to the monetary amount.

Sense 2: "the act of spending money for goods or services" - this is the act, not the amount.

Sense 3: "the act of consuming something" - this is about consumption.

The context clearly refers to money paid out (an amount), so sense 1 is the best choice.

The target word is "average" in the context: "will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

Here, "average" refers to a statistic describing the location of a distribution - specifically, the mean or expected value of the net contribution. It's a statistical figure representing the central tendency of contributions.

Sense 1: "a statistic describing the location of a distribution" - this fits because 150,000 Euros is a statistical average (mean) of net contributions.
Sense 2: sports ratio - doesn't fit
Sense 3: "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual" - this is more about being "normal" or "typical" in height, etc.

The context is clearly about a calculated statistical average (a mean value), so sense 1 is the best fit.

The target word is "budgets" in the context of "public budgets" and "total budgets of European countries."
The context mentions "Migrants are also net contributors to social systems, averaging 1% of the total budgets of European countries."
And "will make a net contribution... to public budgets during his lifetime."

Sense 1: a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose (e.g., "the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year")
Sense 2: a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them (e.g., "the president submitted the annual budget to Congress")

In the context of "total budgets of European countries" and "public budgets", it refers to the sum of money allocated or available for the government's or country's purposes, rather than the document or summary of intended expenditures (which would be "the annual budget").
"Total budgets" implies the actual amount of money, aligning with "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best choice.

The target word is "growth" in the context: "missing points of growth 'with the teeth'". This refers to economic growth, specifically points of growth (points de croissance in French, likely translated). The context is about economic growth and immigration's contribution to it. "Points of growth" means sources or areas of economic growth/growth.

Looking at the senses:
1. biological growth
2. progression from simpler to more complex forms (cultural growth)
3. a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important (increase, increment) - examples include "the growth of population"
4. vegetation
5. gradual beginning or coming forth
6. pathology
7. something grown or growing (hair)

Economic growth refers to the process of becoming larger/more important (economically). Sense 3 fits best: "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" with synonyms increase, increment. The example "the growth of population" is similar to economic growth as an increase.

Sarkozy was looking for "points of growth" - meaning sources/points of economic increase/growth. This aligns with sense 3.

The context is about Nicolas Sarkozy looking for missing points of growth "with the teeth." The teeth in question, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite effect.

"The teeth in question" - this refers to the specific teeth being discussed/mentioned. This is a case where "in question" means "under consideration" or "being discussed." This is the idiomatic use of "question" meaning "the subject matter at issue."

Sense 2: definition=the subject matter at issue | synonyms=head | examples=the question of disease merits serious discussion; under the head of minor Roman poets

This seems to fit best. "The teeth in question" = the teeth that are the subject matter at issue / under discussion.

Sense 1 (an instance of questioning) doesn't quite fit because it's not about an act of questioning.
Sense 4 (uncertainty) doesn't fit well here.

Let me think more carefully. "The teeth in question" is a set phrase meaning "the teeth being referred to" or "the teeth under discussion." This aligns with sense 2: "the subject matter at issue."

Yes, sense 2 is the best fit.

Target lemma: effect
Target surface form: effect
Context:
Giovanni Peri has calculated that a rise of 1% in the migratory flow causes an increase of between 0,6 and 0,9% in real long-term pay. And does so without taking into account the fact that the diversity contributed by immigrants contributes to the creation of ideas and to economic growth (a large proportion of naturalised immigrants are among American Nobel prize winners, whilst Google, Intel, Paypal, eBay and Yahoo were all founded by immigrants). Migrants are also net contributors to social systems, averaging 1% of the total budgets of European countries. The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime. Nicolas Sarkozy wished at the start of his mandate to look for missing points of growth "with the teeth." The teeth in question, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite <t>effect</t>.

The target word is "effect" in the context: "The teeth in question, intended to serve to dissuade immigrants, had precisely the opposite effect."

Here, "effect" refers to the result or consequence of Sarkozy's policies ("the teeth"). The policies were intended to dissuade immigrants, but they had the opposite effect — meaning they produced the opposite result.

Sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" with synonyms consequence, outcome, result, event, issue, upshot. This fits perfectly — the opposite effect means the opposite result/consequence of what was intended.

The target word "trouble" appears in the context: "Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar around Josef Ackermann..."

The context is about Deutsche Bank facing a multi-million pound fine in the USA, settling disputes from bankruptcy of credit unions during the financial crisis. This is a source of difficulty/problem for the bank.

Sense 1: "a source of difficulty" with synonym "problem" and examples "one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?" - This fits well. The "fresh trouble" refers to a new problem/difficulty the bank is facing.

Sense 2: "an angry disturbance" (fuss, bother, hassle) - This doesn't fit as well; it's not about an angry disturbance.

Sense 3: "an event causing distress or pain" - This could potentially fit, but the context is more about a source of difficulty/problem than an event causing distress.

Sense 4: "an effort that is inconvenient" - No, this doesn't fit.

Sense 5: "a strong feeling of anxiety" - No, this is about worry.

Sense 6: "an unwanted pregnancy" - No.

The best fit is Sense 1: "a source of difficulty" with synonym "problem". The "fresh trouble" refers to a new problem facing the bank.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "uproar" in the context: "Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar around Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank"

The context describes a situation of commotion, controversy, and confusion surrounding Josef Ackermann. It's not about literal loud noise from many sources, but rather a state of commotion and confusion (a tumultuous situation).

Sense 1: a state of commotion and noise and confusion (tumult, tumultuousness, garboil) - this fits better as it refers to a state of commotion and confusion, which matches the controversy/turmoil around the CEO.

Sense 2: loud confused noise from many sources (hubbub, brouhaha, katzenjammer) - this is more about literal noise.

The "uproar around Josef Ackermann" refers to the commotion and controversy surrounding him, which is a state of commotion and confusion rather than literal noise. Sense 1 fits better.

The target word is "problems" in the context: "As if the problems at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank, the industry giant's past in the USA is now also catching up with it."

The context discusses Deutsche Bank facing difficulties/troubles - a fine, disputes from bankruptcy, etc. The word "trouble" is even used in the first sentence: "Fresh trouble is following..."

Let me look at the senses:

1. problem%1:26:00:: - a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved | synonyms=job | examples=she and her husband are having problems
2. problem%1:10:00:: - a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
3. problem%1:09:00:: - a source of difficulty | synonyms=trouble | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?

Sense 2 is clearly about academic/mathematical problems, so that's out.

Between senses 1 and 3:
- Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" - synonyms: job
- Sense 3: "a source of difficulty" - synonyms: trouble

The context uses "trouble" in the same passage ("Fresh trouble is following..."), and "problems at home" refers to difficulties the bank is facing. The synonym "trouble" matches well, and the example "what's the problem?" and "one trouble after another" align with the usage here.

The problems are sources of difficulty for Deutsche Bank - the various issues they're dealing with. Sense 3 with synonym "trouble" seems to be the best fit, especially since "trouble" is used elsewhere in the same context to refer to similar issues.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Deutsche Bank, a German bank. The sentence says "As if the problems at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank, the industry giant's past in the USA is now also catching up with it."

Here, "home" refers to the country where Deutsche Bank is based - Germany (Frankfurt-based). This is contrasted with "the USA" where the new problems are. So "home" means the country or state where they live/are based.

Sense 3: "the country or state or city where you live" - examples: "Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home; his home is New Jersey"

This fits perfectly. "Problems at home" = problems in Germany (where Deutsche Bank is headquartered), contrasted with problems in the USA.

Sense 3: "an unusually large enterprise" with example "Walton built a retail giant". This perfectly matches "industry giant" referring to Deutsche Bank.

This matches sense 1: "a disagreement or argument about something important" with synonyms like difference, difference of opinion, conflict.

Sense 2 is "coming into conflict with" (contravention), which doesn't fit as well here.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis. This refers to the financial/insolvency state of these credit unions.

Sense 1 is about abstract property (spiritual/moral bankruptcy) - not relevant.
Sense 2 is "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due" with synonyms=failure and examples like "the company had to declare bankruptcy; fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks" - this fits well with financial institutions failing.
Sense 3 is "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent" - this is about the legal process of bankruptcy.

In the context, "the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis" refers to the institutions going bankrupt/failing, not specifically the legal process. The sense 2 example "fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks" is very similar to this context about credit unions failing during the financial crisis due to mortgage securities.

However, I could also see this as sense 3 since the settlement of disputes arising from bankruptcy could relate to the legal process. But the primary meaning here is that the credit unions went bankrupt - they were unable to discharge their debts. The disputes arising from their bankruptcy relate to the legal consequences, but the word "bankruptcy" here primarily refers to the state of being bankrupt.

Looking more carefully: "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions" - this refers to the event/state of the credit unions becoming bankrupt. Sense 2 seems most appropriate, especially given the matching example about banks failing.

Actually, let me reconsider. The context involves a legal settlement, which might suggest the legal process sense. But "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" is describing what happened to them - they went bankrupt. The example in sense 2 "fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks" is quite parallel to this scenario where mortgage securities led to the bankruptcy of credit unions.

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Deutsche Bank facing a fine, and the "issue" centres on the sale of mortgage securities. The issue here refers to a matter or subject being discussed/debated - specifically the matter of the sale of mortgage securities that is at the centre of the dispute.

Looking at the candidates:
1. "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - this fits well because the issue is about the sale of mortgage securities which is in dispute (settlement of disputes arising from bankruptcy)
3. "some situation or event that is thought about" - synonyms: topic, subject, matter - this also fits as the issue is the subject/matter being discussed

The phrase "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities" suggests it's the matter or topic at hand. But "issue" here is specifically about a dispute that needs to be settled - the NCUA is accusing banks of misleading credit unions. The issue is the question/matter in dispute.

Sense 1 says "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - the examples include "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone" and "politicians never discuss the real issues." This fits the context well - the issue (the matter of mortgage securities sales) is in dispute and is being settled (through the fine).

Sense 3 says "some situation or event that is thought about" with synonyms topic, subject, matter. The examples are about thinking about topics.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because the context involves a dispute that is being settled (through the payment of a fine). The issue is specifically something in dispute that must be settled.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "sale" in the context: "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."

This refers to the general activity of selling mortgage securities. The banks were selling mortgage securities to credit unions. This is about the activity of selling, not a particular instance, not a sales event, not the state of being purchasable, and not a specific sales agreement/contract.

Sense 2: "the general activity of selling" with examples "they tried to boost sales; laws limit the sale of handguns" - this fits well. "The sale of mortgage securities" refers to the general activity of selling these securities, similar to "the sale of handguns."

Sense 1: "a particular instance of selling" with examples "he has just made his first sale; they had to complete the sale before the banks closed" - this seems more about a specific transaction instance.

The context says "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities." This is about the general activity/practice of selling mortgage securities, not one specific instance. The banks sold mortgage securities to credit unions, and the issue is about this practice broadly.

Sense 2 seems best.
