Deutsche Bank pays multi-million pound fine in the USA Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar around Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank: Deutsche Bank faces a multi-million pound fine in the USA. 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. Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank will pay 145 million dollars (106 million Euros) to settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis. The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a financial market regulator, accuses a string of major banks of having used false promises to mislead credit unions into buying the financial products. The <t>value</t> of the securities dropped dramatically during the financial crisis and brought down the credit unions. "We are happy to have resolved the issue without the parties going to court," said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "value" in the context: "The value of the securities dropped dramatically during the financial crisis and brought down the credit unions."
Here, "value" refers to the monetary worth or the amount of money the securities are considered to be worth. The context is about financial products, mortgage securities, dropping in value, causing bankruptcies.
Sense 1: a numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed
Sense 3: the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else; economic value
Sense 3 seems to be the most appropriate as it specifically relates to monetary worth ("economic value"), which fits perfectly with "the value of the securities".
Let's double check.
"the value of the securities dropped dramatically" -> the economic value of the securities dropped.
Sense 3's definition is "the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else" and example "he tried to estimate the value of the produce at normal prices".
This fits perfectly.

Let's review the other senses.
Sense 1: a numerical quantity... could apply, but it's too general. Sense 3 is specifically economic value.
Sense 2: the quality (positive or negative)...
Sense 4: relative darkness...
Sense 5: musical note...
Sense 6: an ideal...

So sense 3 is the best.

The target word is "crisis" in the context of "the financial crisis" and "during the financial crisis".
Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=crisis%1:26:00:: | definition=an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty | examples=they went bankrupt during the economic crisis
2. sense_key=crisis%1:11:00:: | definition=a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something | examples=after the crisis the patient either dies or gets better

The context refers to the financial crisis causing bankruptcy and a dramatic drop in the value of securities. This aligns with sense 1 ("an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty", examples: "they went bankrupt during the economic crisis").
Sense 2 refers to a turning point in a medical or general process ("after the crisis the patient either dies or gets better").

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "issue" in the context: "We are happy to have resolved the issue without the parties going to court,"

Here, "issue" refers to a dispute or matter that needs to be settled. The bank settled disputes, and they resolved the "issue" without going to court.

Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - examples include "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone"

Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" - synonyms: topic, subject, matter

The context is about a legal dispute that was settled. "Resolved the issue" suggests a dispute that was settled. Sense 1 fits well because it specifically mentions "in dispute and must be settled," and the example "the issue could be settled" parallels "resolved the issue."

Sense 3 is more general - "some situation or event that is thought about." While "issue" can mean "matter," the legal dispute context aligns better with sense 1's "in dispute and must be settled."

I'll go with sense 1.

The target word "New York" appears in the phrase: "said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York."

Here, "New York" refers to the city where the Deutsche Bank spokesman is located. Deutsche Bank has offices in New York City, which is a major financial center. The context is about financial disputes and settlements, and New York City is the financial hub where such statements would be made.

Sense 1: the largest city in New York State and in the United States; synonyms include New York City, Greater New York. This fits because the spokesman is in New York City.

Sense 2: a Mid-Atlantic state. This would be the state, not the city.

Sense 3: one of the British colonies. Historical, not relevant.

The best sense is sense 1, as "New York" here refers to New York City, the financial center where Deutsche Bank's spokesman would be based.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Deutsche Bank paying money to settle disputes. The word "settlement" is used in "The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement."

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. colony - doesn't fit
2. village/small town - doesn't fit
3. "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it" - this could fit
4. colonization - doesn't fit
5. "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" with examples like "they finally reached a settlement with the union" - this fits very well, as it refers to a legal/financial settlement
6. area where families live - doesn't fit
7. liquidation - doesn't fit

Both 3 and 5 could work. Let me look more carefully:

Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it" - no synonyms or examples given
Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" with synonyms "resolution, closure" and examples "they finally reached a settlement with the union; they never did achieve a final resolution of their differences"

The example in sense 5 "they finally reached a settlement with the union" is very close to the context where Deutsche Bank reached a settlement to pay money to resolve disputes. This is a legal settlement.

I think sense 5 is the best fit because the example directly matches the legal/financial settlement context.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Citigroup agreeing to pay 20.5 million dollars. Here "dollars" refers to the monetary unit/currency, not a specific piece of paper money or coin or symbol of greed.

Sense 1: "the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents" - This is the general monetary unit sense. "20.5 million dollars" uses "dollars" as a unit of currency/money.

Sense 2: "a piece of paper money worth one dollar" - This refers to a single bill.

Sense 3: "a United States coin worth one dollar" - This refers to a coin.

Sense 4: "a symbol of commercialism or greed" - This is figurative.

The context mentions "20.5 million dollars" which is clearly referring to the monetary unit/currency amount. The best sense is sense 1.

The context describes the NCUA chairman welcoming the "responsiveness" of the two banks (Deutsche Bank and Citigroup) in settling the issue without going to court. Here, "responsiveness" refers to the quality of being responsive, reacting quickly, and responding to the situation (the legal dispute) positively. This aligns with sense 2, which defines it as "the quality of being responsive; reacting quickly; as a quality of people, it involves responding with emotion to people and events." Sense 1 is about physiological reactivity to stimulation, which is not applicable here.

Sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "banks" in the context of financial institutions like Deutsche Bank and Citigroup. The NCUA is accusing major banks of misleading credit unions. The context clearly refers to financial institutions.

Sense 2: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities" with synonyms like "depository financial institution, banking concern, banking company" and examples like "he cashed a check at the bank; that bank holds the mortgage on my home" - this fits perfectly.

Sense 9 is about the building where banking is transacted, but here "banks" refers to the institutions themselves, not the buildings.

Target lemma: bankruptcy
Target surface form: bankruptcies
Context:
The value of the securities dropped dramatically during the financial crisis and brought down the credit unions. "We are happy to have resolved the issue without the parties going to court," said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York. The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement. The same is true of Citigroup, which agreed to pay 20.5 million dollars. The NCUA chairman, Debbie Matz, welcomed the responsiveness of the two banks. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is responsible for the US credit unions and intervenes in <t>bankruptcies</t> to protect customer deposits. The NCUA is fighting for compensation for losses that run into the billions.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=bankruptcy%1:26:01:: | definition=a state of complete lack of some abstract property | examples=spiritual bankruptcy; moral bankruptcy
2. sense_key=bankruptcy%1:26:00:: | definition=inability to discharge all your debts as they come due | synonyms=failure | examples=the company had to declare bankruptcy; fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks

reasoning_content:
The context discusses credit unions being brought down during a financial crisis, and the NCUA intervening in "bankruptcies" to protect customer deposits. This refers to the legal process of bankruptcy for corporations/financial institutions that are insolvent.

Sense 3: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent" - This fits well because the NCUA is intervening in bankruptcies (legal processes) to protect customer deposits, and the context is about corporate/financial institution bankruptcies.

Sense 2: "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due" with synonym "failure" - This is more about the state of being unable to pay debts.

The context talks about the NCUA intervening in bankruptcies - this suggests a legal process, not just a state of being. The NCUA is a regulatory body that would intervene in the legal proceedings of bankruptcies to protect deposits. Sense 3 is the best fit.

Target lemma: compensation
Target surface form: compensation
Context:
"We are happy to have resolved the issue without the parties going to court," said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York. The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement. The same is true of Citigroup, which agreed to pay 20.5 million dollars. The NCUA chairman, Debbie Matz, welcomed the responsiveness of the two banks. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is responsible for the US credit unions and intervenes in bankruptcies to protect customer deposits. The NCUA is fighting for <t>compensation</t> for losses that run into the billions. The current settlements are the first of their kind.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=compensation%1:21:00:: | definition=something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation (as for a service or loss or injury)
2. sense_key=compensation%1:22:00:: | definition=(psychiatry) a defense mechanism that conceals your undesirable shortcomings by exaggerating desirable behaviors
3. sense_key=compensation%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of compensating for service or loss or injury | synonyms=recompense

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses the NCUA fighting for "compensation" for losses that run into the billions, in the context of settlements where banks pay money. This refers to money given as reparation for losses.

Sense 1: "something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation (as for a service or loss or injury)" - This fits the context of money being paid as reparation for losses.

Sense 3: "the act of compensating for service or loss or injury" - This is about the act rather than the thing itself.

The context is about the NCUA fighting for compensation (the money/thing) for losses, not the act of compensating. So sense 1 seems more appropriate.

Let me also consider that sense 3's synonym is "recompense" and its definition is "the act of compensating." In the sentence "The NCUA is fighting for compensation for losses," the word "compensation" refers to the money or thing being sought, not the act. So sense 1 is the better fit.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The NCUA is fighting for compensation for losses that run into the billions." Here "compensation" could be interpreted as either the money itself or the act of compensating. But since they're "fighting for" it, they're fighting to receive the money/thing, which aligns with sense 1.

Sense 1 is about the thing (money) given as reparation for loss.
Sense 3 is about the act of compensating for loss.

The NCUA is fighting for compensation (the money) for losses. This is sense 1.

reasoning_content: The context is about the NCUA fighting for compensation for losses that "run into the billions" (of dollars). The amounts mentioned earlier are in the millions of dollars (20.5 million dollars), but the losses run into the billions. This is referring to an actual large number, not a hyperbolic indefinite number. In the US context (NCUA is responsible for US credit unions), a billion means a thousand million (1 followed by 9 zeros). Sense 3 is "the number that is represented as a one followed by 9 zeros" which is the US billion. Sense 1 is the UK billion (1 followed by 12 zeros). Sense 2 is a hyperbolic indefinite number. Given that this is a US context and referring to actual financial losses (not hyperbole), sense 3 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The context is about banks paying money to resolve legal disputes with the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration). The "settlements" refer to agreements where banks pay compensation to resolve legal claims. The bank "agreed to pay 20.5 million dollars" and these are "the first of their kind" settlements from the regulator's efforts to get compensation.

Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" with synonyms "resolution, closure" and examples "they finally reached a settlement with the union" - this fits best as it refers to a legal/financial settlement agreement.

Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it" - this is more general.

Sense 5 seems like the best fit because it specifically mentions "they finally reached a settlement with the union" which is similar to the NCUA reaching settlements with banks.

reasoning_content:
The context is about mortgage-backed securities sealing the "fate" of financial companies when the property bubble exploded. "Sealed the fate" means it determined what would happen to them (their downfall/ruin).

Sense 1: "an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future" - destiny
Sense 2: "the ultimate agency regarded as predetermining the course of events" - destiny, personified
Sense 3: "your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you)" - fortune, destiny, luck, lot, circumstances, portion

"Sealed the fate" means it determined their ultimate outcome/destiny. The phrase "sealed the fate" refers to what inevitably happens to them - their destiny or inevitable outcome.

Sense 1 seems best: "an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future." The mortgage securities sealed what would inevitably happen to the financial companies.

Sense 3 is about overall circumstances or condition in life, which is more about one's lot in life generally.

The phrase "sealed the fate" most closely aligns with sense 1 - the inevitable course of events/destiny.

The target word is "number" in the phrase "a number of financial companies". This means "several" or "many" financial companies. It refers to an indefinite quantity of units.

Sense 1: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with examples "he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small". The phrase "a number of chores" matches "a number of financial companies" perfectly. This is the correct sense.

Let me check the other senses to be sure:
- Sense 2 is about the mathematical concept of numbers
- Sense 7 is "a select company of people" which doesn't fit here
- Others are clearly wrong

Sense 1 is the best match.

Sense 2 refers to a turning point in a course of something, like a medical crisis, which doesn't fit as well here.

reasoning_content:
The context says: "The banks battling against a strong wind in the USA several years later."

This is metaphorical. "Battling against a strong wind" means facing difficulties or adverse forces. This aligns with sense 2: "a tendency or force that influences events" with examples "the winds of change." The banks are battling against adverse forces/influences (legal claims, regulatory pressure).

Sense 1 is literal air moving. While "strong wind" could literally mean wind, in this financial context, "battling against a strong wind" is clearly metaphorical, referring to the difficult conditions they face (lawsuits, compensation claims, regulatory pressure).

So the best sense is sense 2.

The target lemma is "year", surface form "years".
Context: "The banks battling against a strong wind in the USA several <t>years</t> later. Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims..."
Here "years" refers to a period of time (several 365-day periods).
Sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. Examples: she is 4 years old; in the year 1920.
Sense 2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity. Examples: a school year.
Sense 3: 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.
Sense 4: a body of students who graduate together.

"several years later" means a period of time consisting of several Earth years. Sense 1 is the standard calendar year (365/366 days).
Therefore, Sense 1 fits perfectly.

The context is about investors and regulators bringing "claims" for compensation or to punish misconduct related to financial companies and mortgage-backed securities.
- "brought a vast number of claims for compensation"
- "wave of claims"

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. claim%1:10:00:: | definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages
2. claim%1:10:02:: | definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims

6. claim%1:10:01:: | a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty

The context mentions "claims for compensation" and "punish misconduct" in a legal/financial context. Sense 1 is "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)" with example "his claim asked for damages". This fits perfectly with "claims for compensation". Sense 3 is "demand for something as rightful or due" with example "support of their claim for a shorter work day". Sense 1 seems more legal/financial (asserting a right to money/compensation). Let's verify. "Claims for compensation" = "his claim asked for damages" = assertion of a right to money.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context is about investors and regulators bringing claims for compensation after financial losses related to mortgage-backed securities. "Claims for compensation" here means seeking money as reparation for losses.

Sense 1: "something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation (as for a service or loss or injury)" - This is a noun referring to the actual thing (money) given.
Sense 3: "the act of compensating for service or loss or injury" - This is the act.

In the context "claims for compensation," the word "compensation" refers to the money/reparation being claimed, not the act of compensating. So sense 1 seems better.

The context involves financial claims for compensation - investors seeking money for their losses. This aligns with sense 1: "something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation."
