reasoning_content:
The target word is "country" in the phrase: "more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country".

Here, "their country" refers to the nation as a political entity or the territory of a nation.
Let's look at the options.
1. country%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic)
2. country%1:15:00:: - the territory occupied by a nation (state, land)
3. country%1:14:01:: - the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land)
4. country%1:15:01:: - an area outside of cities and towns (rural area)
5. country%1:15:02:: - a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area)

The context is about respondents citing crime as the most important problem facing "their country". This usually refers to the nation as a whole, the political entity, or the territory. "Problem facing their country" aligns well with sense 1 (a politically organized body of people under a single government) or sense 2 (the territory occupied by a nation).
Let's consider the difference between 1 and 2. "Country" as the government/state vs. the territory. "Problem facing their country" is often used to refer to the nation-state.
Wait, in sense 1: "the state has elected a new president; African nations".
In sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries". Sense 2 focuses on the territory/geography.
When people talk about problems facing their country (like crime), they are talking about the nation as a whole, the society or state.
Is it sense 1 or 3? Sense 3 is specifically "the people who live in a nation or country".
"the most important problem facing their country" - the problem faces the nation/state. Sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government". This is a very common sense of country.

Let's check the earlier part of the text: "varies widely from country to country". Here it means the different nation-states.
"problem facing their country" refers to their nation-state. Sense 1 fits "politically organized body of people under a single government". Sense 2 fits "territory occupied by a nation".
Usually, "country" in news contexts referring to nation-states is often mapped to sense 1 (state, nation) or 2. In SemCor, "country" as a nation-state is often tagged as sense 1.
Let's look at the examples: "he visited several European countries" is sense 2.
"the state has elected a new president" is sense 1.
"problem facing their country" - crime is a problem facing the nation. I will go with sense 1.

The target word is "figure" in the context: "...but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

Here, "figure" refers to a number or statistic (31%). It's the lowest number/percentage since 1995.

Looking at the candidates:
- Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with synonym "number" - this fits well as "figure" here means a number/statistic.
- Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically" - this is specifically about money, not the case here.
- Sense 3: "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration" with synonym "digit" - this refers to individual digits (0-9), not a number/statistic.

Sense 9 seems best - "figure" here means "number," referring to the 31% statistic. The example "the number of parameters is small" aligns with this usage where "figure" = "number" as a quantity.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 7 is "an amount of money expressed numerally" - not money here. Sense 9 is "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with synonym "number."

The context is about a percentage (31%) being the lowest "figure" since 1995. This is a number/statistic. Sense 9 with synonym "number" fits best.

reasoning_content:
The context says "rising support for private enterprise and the market economy" and "71% of respondents... say that private enterprise is indispensable".
This is about people agreeing with or favoring a policy/cause (private enterprise).
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"

Wait, let's look at sense 2 vs 3.
Sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Example: "the policy found little public support"
In "rising support for private enterprise", respondents are expressing agreement/approval.
Sense 2 has the example "the president no longer has the support of his own party". Wait, "support for private enterprise" fits Sense 3's example "the policy found little public support" perfectly. Also, Sense 2's definition says "aiding the cause", but Sense 3's example is specifically about a policy finding public support.

Let's check the synsets.
support%1:04:00:: (Sense 2) -> noun.cognition. "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - wait, 04 is act. 09 is cognition? Wait.
1:04:04:: is act.
1:09:00:: is feeling? "something providing immaterial assistance..." wait, 1:09:00 is noun.communication? No, 1:09 is communication? No, let's check the definition of Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - example "the policy found little public support". This fits "rising support for private enterprise" (the cause/interest).
Wait, "support for private enterprise" means approval/agreement, which is psychological/cognitive. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause" which is the act of aiding. Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance" (like public approval).
Actually, the phrase "rising support for private enterprise" means increasing public approval of private enterprise. This is a feeling/attitude, immaterial assistance.
Let's look closely at Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
Sense 2 (1:04:00): "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
Sense 3 (1:09:00): "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - Example: "the policy found little public support"
Sense 2 Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"

Wait, "support for private enterprise" is similar to "public support" in Sense 3.
Wait! WordNet 3.0:
support%1:04:00:: (noun.act) aiding the cause or policy or interests of; "they developed a scheme of mutual support"
support%1:09:00:: (noun.communication) something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest; "the policy found little public support"; "his faith was all the support he needed"

If 71% of respondents say private enterprise is indispensable, they are expressing public support (approval). "The policy found little public support" is exactly parallel to "rising support for private enterprise". So Sense 3.
Let's consider Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". This could also apply, as public support aids the cause.
But Sense 3 specifically mentions "public support" for a policy. "Rising support for private enterprise" refers to public opinion. So Sense 3 seems better.

Wait, let me double check the exact synsets.
support%1:04:00:: is the act of aiding a cause.
support%1:09:00:: is something providing immaterial assistance. Example: "the policy found little public support"

Since the text mentions "71% of respondents... say that", this is about public opinion / immaterial assistance (public approval), which fits Sense 3 perfectly.

Sense index 3.

The target word "development" appears in the context: "private enterprise is indispensable for development" and also "the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed."

The context is about economic development - countries becoming more developed economically. The sentence discusses economic performance, market economy, and private enterprise being indispensable for development.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining - this is about improving something, like a plan
2. a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) - synonyms: evolution - examples about ideas and civilization
3. biological growth
4. a recent event
5. the act of making some area of land or water more profitable or productive or useful - synonyms: exploitation
6. a district that has been developed
7. a state in which things are improving
8. photographic processing
9. music section

The context talks about economic development - making a country "developed." The phrase "make their country developed" suggests the process of a country progressing to a more advanced stage. This aligns with sense 2: "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)" with synonyms like "evolution" and example "the evolution of Greek civilization."

Sense 1 is about the act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining - this could also fit, but the examples are about developing a plan and R&D, which are more specific acts.

Sense 2 talks about a process passing to a different, more advanced stage, which fits the idea of a country becoming "developed" - moving from a less advanced to a more advanced stage. The example "the evolution of Greek civilization" is similar to a country developing.

I'll go with sense 2.

The target word is "system" in the phrase "the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed".

Let me look at the context. It's talking about a "market economy" as a "system". This refers to an economic system - a group of interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (like production, distribution, consumption).

Sense 2: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole" with synonyms "scheme" and example "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going". This fits perfectly with "market economy" being an economic system.

Sense 4: "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" - this could also apply to an economic system, but the example is more about rules/systems of rules.

Sense 2's example specifically mentions "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption" which is directly related to a market economy. This is the best fit.

The answer is sense 2.

The target is "country" in the sentence: "Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed..."

The context is about the market economy making their country developed. This refers to the nation or territory as a whole, including its economy and development status.

Let me look at the senses:

1. country%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government - "the state has elected a new president; African nations" - This refers to the political entity/nation.

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

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

4. country%1:15:01:: - an area outside of cities and towns - rural area.

5. country%1:15:02:: - a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary.

The sentence is about "make their country developed" - this is about the nation as a political entity, including its people, territory, and institutions. The development of a country typically refers to the nation as a whole - its economy, infrastructure, institutions, etc.

Looking at the context more broadly: "the most important problem facing their country" and "the only system that will make their country developed" - these seem to refer to the nation as a political entity (sense 1) rather than just the territory (sense 2) or just the people (sense 3).

Sense 1 seems most appropriate because:
- The context is about political and economic matters (market economy, development)
- "Make their country developed" refers to the nation as an organized political entity
- The examples for sense 1 include "the state has elected a new president" which is about political organization
- The phrase "facing their country" also suggests the nation as a political entity

However, let me reconsider. The sentence mentions "Latin America as a whole" and various countries within it. The phrase "make their country developed" could refer to the territory/nation becoming developed.

Sense 2 (territory occupied by a nation) vs Sense 1 (politically organized body of people under a single government):
- "Make their country developed" - development typically applies to the nation as a whole entity, including its political organization, economy, and people.
- Sense 1's definition "a politically organized body of people under a single government" captures the nation as an entity that can be "developed"

I think sense 1 is the best fit because the context is about the political and economic development of a nation, and the phrase "make their country developed" refers to the nation as a political entity.

Actually, let me reconsider more carefully. The earlier part of the passage says "more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country." Here "their country" refers to the respondent's nation - the political entity they belong to.

And "the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed" - again, this is about the nation becoming developed, which encompasses the political entity, its economy, and its people.

I'll go with sense 1 - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - as the best fit for this context.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies."

"hold that view" - what view? The view that "the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed".

This is a personal belief or judgment. Let's look at the senses:
1. view%1:09:02:: - a way of regarding situations or topics etc. - synonyms: position, perspective
5. view%1:09:04:: - a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty - synonyms: opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought
6. view%1:10:00:: - a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof - synonyms: opinion

"hold that view" matches "a personal belief or judgment" or "a message expressing a belief". Or "a way of regarding situations or topics".

Wait, the phrase is "hold that view". "View" often goes with "hold" meaning opinion or belief.
Let's see:
Sense 5: a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty. Example: my opinion differs from yours.
Sense 6: a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence...
Sense 1: a way of regarding situations or topics etc. Example: consider what follows from the positivist view.

"hold that view" -> 62% of respondents hold that view (that the market economy is the only system...).
Is it sense 1, 5, or 6?
Sense 6 is "a message expressing a belief". Sense 5 is "a personal belief or judgment". Sense 1 is "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." -> "consider what follows from the positivist view".

The respondents "hold that view". This means they believe it. "View" here is synonymous with opinion.
Let's check the synonyms:
Sense 1: position, perspective.
Sense 5: opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought.
Sense 6: opinion.

Sense 6's definition: "the expression of a belief that is held with confidence..." - "hold" is in the definition! "the expression of a belief that is held with confidence".
Wait, "a message expressing a belief". Is "view" here a message? "hold that view" implies the belief itself. But "view" can be an opinion.

Let's consider Sense 5: "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty".
Sense 6 is specifically about the *expression* of a belief, like an editorial. The example for Sense 6: "his opinions appeared frequently on the editorial page".
The respondents holding that view means they hold that belief/opinion. So Sense 5 seems highly relevant. Or Sense 1.

But wait! WordNet 3.0:
view%1:09:02:: : a way of regarding situations or topics etc.; "consider what follows from the positivist view"
view%1:09:04:: : a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty; "my opinion differs from yours"; "I am not of your persuasion"
view%1:10:00:: : a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof; "his opinions appeared frequently on the editorial page"

If we look at the context, "the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed" is a proposition. 62% of respondents agree with it. "hold that view" = hold that opinion.
Opinion can be Sense 5 or 6. "hold that view" means they have the belief. It's not an expression. So Sense 5.

Let's reconsider WordNet senses for "view" as opinion.
view%1:09:04:: is "opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought".
view%1:10:00:: is "opinion".
view%1:09:02:: is "position, perspective".

Could it be Sense 1? "a way of regarding situations or topics etc."
"the positivist view" -> a way of regarding.
"hold that view" -> "hold that opinion" seems more fitting for Sense 5. The word "opinion" is directly synonymous.

Let's check how "hold a view" is typically tagged.
In SemCor, "hold a view" or "hold that view" is usually tagged as view%1:09:04:: (opinion).
For instance: "they hold the view that..."
Wait, let's think about Sense 1 vs Sense 5.
Sense 1: position, perspective. "consider what follows from the positivist view"
Sense 5: opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought. "my opinion differs from yours"
"hold that view" -> "hold that opinion" -> Sense 5.

Is there any chance it's Sense 1? "A way of regarding situations or topics etc." Sometimes "point of view" or "view" in the sense of perspective. But "hold that view" where "that" refers to the proposition "the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed". Since it's a specific proposition they agree with, it's their opinion/belief.
So Sense 5 fits perfectly.

Let's double check Sense 6. Sense 6 is "a message expressing a belief". The proposition "the market economy..." is a message? The respondents agree with the statement. But "hold that view" implies adopting the belief itself, not just the message.
Also, Sense 5 is "personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty". "the market economy is the only system..." is a judgment not founded on absolute proof.
Therefore, Sense 5 is the best fit.

Target lemma: president
Target surface form: president
Context:
That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened. For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5). Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995. A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising support for private enterprise and the market economy: some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for development, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing <t>president</t>, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies.

The target word is "country" in the sentence: "Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of respondents..."

Here, "country" refers to Brazil as a nation-state, a politically organized body of people under a single government. The context is about political leadership in the region, with respondents mentioning countries like Brazil, the United States, and Venezuela.

Looking at the senses:
1. sense_key=country%1:14:00:: - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic
2. sense_key=country%1:15:00:: - "the territory occupied by a nation" - synonyms: state, land

3. sense_key=country%1:14:01:: - "the people who live in a nation or country" - synonyms: nation, land

4. sense_key=country%1:15:01:: - "an area outside of cities and towns" - synonyms: rural area
5. sense_key=country%1:15:02:: - "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - synonyms: area

The context is about Brazil as a nation-state that exercises leadership. This is about the political entity, not just the territory or the people. "Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership" - this refers to Brazil as a politically organized body, a state.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "a politically organized body of people under a single government." The example "the state has elected a new president; African nations" fits well with the political context of leadership.

Sense 2 could also be considered since "country" can refer to the territory, but the context emphasizes political leadership, which aligns more with sense 1.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "leadership" in the context: "Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of respondents..."

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is about Brazil exercising "leadership" in the region. The respondents mention Brazil as the country that exercises most leadership. This is about the activity of leading - Brazil is taking a leading role in the region.

Looking at the senses:
1. sense_key=leadership%1:04:00:: | definition=the activity of leading | synonyms=leading | examples=his leadership inspired the team
2. sense_key=leadership%1:14:00:: | definition=the body of people who lead a group | synonyms=leaders | examples=the national leadership adopted his plan
3. sense_key=leadership%1:26:00:: | definition=the status of a leader | examples=they challenged his leadership of the union
4. sense_key=leadership%1:09:00:: | definition=the ability to lead | examples=he believed that leadership can be taught

Sense 2 is about a body of people - "the national leadership" - this doesn't fit because it's about a country (Brazil) exercising leadership, not a group of leaders.

Sense 3 is about the status of being a leader - "they challenged his leadership of the union" - this is more about the position or status of being a leader.

Sense 4 is about the ability to lead - "he believed that leadership can be taught" - this is about a skill or ability.

Sense 1 is about the activity of leading - "his leadership inspired the team" - this fits well with "Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region" - it's about Brazil actively leading, exercising leadership as an activity.

The verb "exercises" pairs well with "the activity of leading." Brazil exercises leadership = Brazil engages in the activity of leading.

So sense 1 seems to be the best fit.

Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies. Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of respondents (up from 18% last year), followed by the <t>United States</t> (9%, unchanged from last year) and Venezuela (9%, down from 11% last year). But the United States is seen as the most influential country by respondents in Mexico and much of Central America, whereas Venezuela enjoys that distinction in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses Latin America and mentions the "United States" as a country that exercises leadership in the region, alongside Brazil and Venezuela. The sentence compares countries (Brazil, United States, Venezuela) in terms of leadership and influence.

Sense 1 refers to the country (North American republic).
Sense 2 refers to the federal government of the United States (executive, legislative, judicial branches).

The context treats "United States" as a country/entity comparable to Brazil and Venezuela, discussing leadership in the region. This is about the country as a geopolitical entity, not specifically the government structure.

Actually, let me reconsider. The question is about which country exercises leadership. When we say "the United States exercises leadership," we could be referring to either the country itself or the government acting. But in this context, it's listed alongside Brazil and Venezuela as countries that exercise leadership. The comparison is between nations, not governments specifically.

Sense 1 (the country) seems more appropriate here because the context is about countries (Brazil, United States, Venezuela) being mentioned as exercising leadership/influence in a region. The United States is being compared to other countries.

The answer should be sense 1.
