Context:
The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the <t>amount</t> was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units. Bank head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks to the American taxpayer on Wednesday evening: The cash injection helped over a very difficult time.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "amount" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the four candidate senses provided.

 Let me analyze the context:

 "The rest of the <t>amount</t> was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units."

 The context is about Bank of America repaying USD 45 billion. They raised USD 19 billion from investors, and "the rest of the amount" was taken from their own funds.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=amount%1:21:00:: | definition=a quantity of money | synonyms=sum, sum of money, amount of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient
    - This specifically refers to a quantity of money.

 2. sense_key=amount%1:07:00:: | definition=the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion | examples=an adequate amount of food for four people
    - This refers to relative magnitude, like "amount of food".

 3. sense_key=amount%1:03:00:: | definition=how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify | synonyms=measure, quantity
    - This is a general quantification sense.

 4. sense_key=amount%1:09:00:: | definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers | synonyms=sum, total
    - This refers to the result of addition/calculation.

 In the context, "the rest of the amount" refers to the remaining money (USD 45 billion total minus USD 19 billion raised = USD 26 billion remaining). This is specifically referring to a quantity of money.

 Looking at sense 1: "a quantity of money" - this fits perfectly. The text is talking about USD 45 billion, then USD 19 billion, and "the rest of the amount" - clearly referring to monetary amounts.

 Sense 4 is about "a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers" - this would be like "the sum of 2 and 3 is 5" or "the total". While "amount" can mean sum/total, in this context it's not emphasizing the result of an addition operation, but rather referring to the sum of money itself.

 Sense 1 has synonyms "sum, sum of money, amount of money" and examples like "he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient" - this matches the financial context perfectly.

 Sense 3 is too general - "how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify" - while money is quantifiable, sense 1 is more specific and appropriate for money.

 Sense 2 is about relative magnitude with reference to a criterion, which doesn't fit here.

 Therefore, the best sense is sense 1 (amount%1:21:00::).

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=amount%1:21:00::
 2. sense_key=amount%1:07:00::
 3. sense_key=amount%1:03:00::
 4. sense_key=amount%1:09:00::

 So sense_index would be 1.

 But let me double-check. The target sentence is: "The rest of the <t>amount</t> was taken from its own kitty..."

 "Kitty" here means a pool of money or funds. So "the amount" refers to the remaining money to be repaid.

 Sense 1: "a quantity of money" - yes.
 Sense 4: "a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers" - this could potentially fit if we think of the total repayment as a sum, but the phrase "the rest of the amount" suggests we're talking about a specific sum of money, not the mathematical result of an addition.

 Actually, looking at the examples for sense 4: it would be used in contexts like "the amount of 2+3 is 5" or similar. But here, we're talking about a specific sum of money that was paid.

 Also, earlier in the text: "in the amount USD 45 billion" - this is clearly sense 1 (quantity of money).

 And "The rest of the amount" refers back to that same monetary amount.

 So sense 1 is definitely the correct choice.

 The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "sale" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about Bank of America repaying TARP funds
 - "Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the <t>sale</t> of business units."
 - So the "sale" here refers to selling business units (divesting/selling off parts of the company)

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=sale%1:04:00:: | definition=a particular instance of selling | examples=he has just made his first sale; they had to complete the sale before the banks closed
    - This refers to a specific transaction or instance of selling something.

 2. sense_key=sale%1:04:02:: | definition=the general activity of selling | examples=they tried to boost sales; laws limit the sale of handguns
    - This refers to the general activity or process of selling.

 3. sense_key=sale%1:04:01:: | definition=an occasion (usually brief) for buying at specially reduced prices | synonyms=cut-rate sale, sales event | examples=they held a sale to reduce their inventory; I got some great bargains at their annual sale
    - This refers to a promotional event where things are sold at reduced prices (like a clearance sale).

 4. sense_key=sale%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being purchasable; offered or exhibited for selling | examples=you'll find vitamin C for sale at most pharmacies; the new line of cars will soon be on sale
    - This refers to the state of being available for purchase.

 5. sense_key=sale%1:10:00:: | definition=an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred from the seller (vendor) to the buyer (vendee) for a fixed price in money (paid or agreed to be paid by the buyer) | synonyms=sales agreement | examples=the salesman faxed the sales agreement to his home office
    - This refers to the legal contract or agreement of sale.

 In the context: "the sale of business units"
 - This is talking about the act or activity of selling off business units (divestiture).
 - It's not a specific instance (sense 1) because it's referring to the general activity that filled their coffers.
 - It's not a promotional event (sense 3) - there's no mention of reduced prices.
 - It's not the state of being purchasable (sense 4).
 - It's not a specific legal agreement (sense 5) - it's referring to the activity/process.

 Actually, looking more carefully:
 "which was well filled through the sale of business units"
 This could be interpreted as:
 - The general activity of selling business units (sense 2)
 - Or specific instances of selling business units (sense 1)

 But sense 2 is "the general activity of selling" - examples include "they tried to boost sales" and "laws limit the sale of handguns".

 Sense 1 is "a particular instance of selling" - examples include "he has just made his first sale" and "they had to complete the sale before the banks closed".

 In the context of "the sale of business units", this is referring to the divestiture/disposal of business units. This is the general activity or process of selling (divesting) business units, not necessarily a single specific transaction (though it could be multiple transactions).

 However, looking at the examples for sense 1: "he has just made his first sale" - this is a specific transaction.
 "they had to complete the sale before the banks closed" - also a specific transaction.

 For sense 2: "they tried to boost sales" - general activity
 "laws limit the sale of handguns" - general activity (the selling of handguns)

 "the sale of business units" fits better with sense 2 (the general activity of selling) because:
 1. It's parallel to "laws limit the sale of handguns" - both use "the sale of [noun]"
 2. It refers to the activity/process of divesting business units to raise cash
 3. It's not referring to a specific single transaction (like "his first sale" or "complete the sale")

 Wait, but could it be sense 1? "A particular instance of selling"?
 If they sold multiple business units, it could be considered multiple instances, but the phrase "the sale of business units" treats it as a collective activity.

 Actually, looking at WordNet structure:
 - sale%1:04:00:: (first sense) - a particular instance of selling
 - sale%1:04:02:: (third sense listed, index 2) - the general activity of selling
 - sale%1:04:01:: (second sense listed, index 1) - an occasion for buying at reduced prices

 The indexing seems to be:
 1. sense_key=sale%1:04:00:: (index 0?)
 2. sense_key=sale%1:04:02:: (index 2?)
 3. sense_key=sale%1:04:01:: (index 1?)
 4. sense_key=sale%1:26:00:: (index 3?)
 5. sense_key=sale%1:10:00:: (index 4?)

 Wait, the user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=sale%1:04:00::
 2. sense_key=sale%1:04:02::
 3. sense_key=sale%1:04:01::
 4. sense_key=sale%1:26:00::
 5. sense_key=sale%1:10:00::

 So the indices are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the list provided by the user.

 Let me re-read carefully:
 - "the sale of business units" - this is the act of selling business units.

 Comparing sense 1 and sense 2:
 Sense 1: "a particular instance of selling" - like one transaction
 Sense 2: "the general activity of selling" - like the business of selling, or selling in general

 In corporate contexts, "the sale of business units" typically refers to the divestiture activity. This aligns with sense 2 (general activity).

 Also, compare to the example for sense 2: "laws limit the sale of handguns" - this is structurally identical to "the sale of business units".

 Therefore, sense 2 (index 2) seems correct.

 But wait, let me check if sense 5 could apply: "an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred..."
 The text says "filled through the sale of business units" - this refers to the transaction/activity that generated funds, not the legal agreement itself.

 Sense 4: "the state of being purchasable" - clearly not, as it's about the act of selling, not the state of being for sale.

 Sense 3: "an occasion for buying at specially reduced prices" - clearly not, no mention of discounts.

 So it's between sense 1 and sense 2.

 "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units."

 This suggests that the money came from selling business units. This is the activity of selling (divesting) business units.

 In WordNet, sense 2 (sale%1:04:02::) is defined as "the general activity of selling" and examples include "they tried to boost sales" and "laws limit the sale of handguns".

 The phrase "the sale of business units" matches the pattern "the sale of handguns" in the example for sense 2.

 Therefore, the best choice is sense index 2.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=sale%1:04:00::
 2. sense_key=sale%1:04:02::
 3. sense_key=sale%1:04:01::
 4. sense_key=sale%1:26:00::
 5. sense_key=sale%1:10:00::

 So if I choose the second one in the list, the index is 2.

 But let me double-check: could it be sense 1?
 "a particular instance of selling"
 If they sold multiple business units, or if "sale" here refers to the collective result of divesting units, it could be considered the activity rather than a specific instance.

 Also, in financial news, "asset sales" or "sales of business units" typically refers to the general activity or program of divestiture, not a single transaction.

 Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

 Final check:
 - Context: Bank of America filled its kitty (funds) through selling business units
 - This is the general activity of selling (divesting) business units
 - Matches sense 2 definition: "the general activity of selling"
 - Matches example: "laws limit the sale of handguns" (parallel structure: "the sale of [objects]")

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "Bank" in the given context.

 First, let me look at the context:
 - The text is about Bank of America, a financial institution.
 - It mentions repayment of TARP funds, investors, convertible loans, sale of business units.
 - The target word "Bank" appears in the phrase: "<t>Bank</t> head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks..."
 - "Bank head" here refers to the head/leader of the bank (financial institution).
 - The surrounding context makes it clear this is about a financial institution - Bank of America.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. bank%1:17:01:: - sloping land (especially the slope beside a body of water) - This is about geography/rivers, not finance.

 2. bank%1:14:00:: - a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities - This matches the context perfectly. Bank of America is a financial institution.

 3. bank%1:17:00:: - a long ridge or pile - Physical geography, not relevant.

 4. bank%1:14:01:: - an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers - Like a bank of switches, not relevant.

 5. bank%1:21:00:: - a supply or stock held in reserve - Could be metaphorical but not the primary sense here.

 6. bank%1:21:01:: - the funds held by a gambling house - Gambling context, not relevant.

 7. bank%1:17:02:: - a slope in the turn of a road or track - Racing/roads, not relevant.

 8. bank%1:06:01:: - a container for keeping money at home - Piggy bank, not relevant.

 9. bank%1:06:00:: - a building in which the business of banking transacted - This is the physical building, but "Bank head" refers to the head of the institution, not the building. However, sense 2 is the institution itself.

 10. bank%1:04:00:: - a flight maneuver - Aviation, not relevant.

 The phrase "Bank head Kenneth Lewis" refers to the head of Bank of America. Bank of America is clearly a financial institution. Therefore, sense 2 (bank%1:14:00::) is the correct choice.

 Wait, let me double-check the sense keys:
 - sense_key=bank%1:14:00:: | definition=a financial institution...

 Yes, this is the standard sense for a financial bank.

 The context mentions:
 - "Bank of America" (the financial institution)
 - "bank protection fund TARP"
 - "repaid the support"
 - "financial institution" activities

 So the target "Bank" in "Bank head" refers to the financial institution Bank of America.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index 2.

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=bank%1:17:01::
 2. sense_key=bank%1:14:00::
 3. sense_key=bank%1:17:00::
 ...

 So sense 2 is the financial institution sense.

 The output should be: {"sense_index": 2}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "bank" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about financial institutions: Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch
 - It mentions repayment of state support, restrictions, manager bonuses, convertible loans, sale of business units
 - It mentions "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch"
 - The target word is in the sentence: "The <t>bank</t> overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."

 Looking at the candidate senses:
 1. Sloping land (riverside) - not relevant
 2. Financial institution (accepts deposits, lending) - highly relevant given context about Citigroup, Bank of America, financial crisis, Merrill Lynch
 3. Long ridge or pile - not relevant
 4. Arrangement of objects - not relevant
 5. Supply/stock held in reserve - could be metaphorical but not the primary meaning here
 6. Gambling funds - not relevant
 7. Slope in road/track - not relevant
 8. Container for money - not relevant
 9. Building for banking - possible, but less likely than sense 2
 10. Flight maneuver - not relevant

 The context clearly refers to Bank of America (mentioned earlier as "Bank of America had raised..."), and the sentence talks about taking over Merrill Lynch (an investment bank) during the financial crisis. This is clearly referring to a financial institution.

 Sense 2: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities" with synonyms "depository financial institution, banking concern, banking company"

 This fits perfectly. The text is discussing Bank of America as a financial institution that took over Merrill Lynch.

 Sense 9 is about the physical building, but here it's referring to the institution itself (the corporation/entity), not the building.

 Therefore, the best sense is sense index 2.

 Wait, let me check the sense indices provided:
 1. sense_key=bank%1:17:01::
 2. sense_key=bank%1:14:00::
 3. sense_key=bank%1:17:00::

 8. sense_key=bank%1:06:01::
 9. sense_key=bank%1:06:00::
 10. sense_key=bank%1:04:00::

 So sense 2 is the financial institution sense.

 The sentence: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."

 This refers to Bank of America (the financial institution), not the physical building.

 So the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "height" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 "The bank overstretched at the <t>height</t> of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."

 The phrase "at the height of" is an idiom meaning "at the most intense or active point of" something. Here it refers to the peak or most intense period of the financial crisis.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=height%1:07:00:: | definition=the vertical dimension of extension; distance from the base of something to the top | synonyms=tallness
 - This refers to physical height/tallness. Not applicable here.

 2. sense_key=height%1:26:00:: | definition=the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development | synonyms=acme, elevation, peak, pinnacle, summit, superlative | examples=his landscapes were deemed the acme of beauty; the artist's gifts are at their acme
 - This refers to the highest level, peak, or most intense point of something. The examples include "at their acme". This matches "at the height of the financial crisis" - meaning at the peak/most intense point of the crisis.

 3. sense_key=height%1:07:01:: | definition=(of a standing person) the distance from head to foot | synonyms=stature
 - This refers to human height/stature. Not applicable.

 4. sense_key=height%1:07:02:: | definition=elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's surface | synonyms=altitude | examples=the altitude gave her a headache
 - This refers to altitude/elevation. Not applicable.

 The correct sense is clearly sense 2: "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development" with synonyms like acme, peak, pinnacle, summit.

 The phrase "at the height of" is a common collocation meaning "at the peak of" or "at the most intense point of".

 So the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "crisis" in the given context. I need to choose between two candidate senses:

1. crisis%1:26:00:: - an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty (example: economic crisis)
2. crisis%1:11:00:: - a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something (example: medical crisis - after the crisis the patient either dies or gets better)

The context is about the financial crisis, specifically mentioning:
- "the financial <t>crisis</t>"
- Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch
- Repaying state support, financial instability
- "overstretched at the height of the financial crisis"

The phrase "financial crisis" clearly refers to an economic/financial unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty (sense 1), not a medical turning point or crucial stage in a process (sense 2).

Sense 1 has the example "they went bankrupt during the economic crisis" which matches perfectly with the context about banks, financial instability, and economic danger.

Sense 2 seems more focused on a turning point in a process or medical context (life or death situations), which doesn't fit the financial/economic context here.

Therefore, the correct sense is index 1 (crisis%1:26:00::).

The user wants the output as: {"sense_index": 1}

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "investment" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about banks, financial crisis, Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch
 - The specific sentence: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the <t>investment</t> bank Merrill Lynch."
 - Here, "investment" is modifying "bank" to form "investment bank"
 - An investment bank is a type of financial institution that helps individuals, corporations, and governments raise capital by underwriting and/or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=investment%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit | synonyms=investing
    - This refers to the act of investing money. While related to banking, "investment bank" is a compound noun where "investment" describes the type of bank.

 2. sense_key=investment%1:21:00:: | definition=money that is invested with an expectation of profit | synonyms=investment funds
    - This refers to the money itself that is invested.

 3. sense_key=investment%1:07:00:: | definition=the commitment of something other than money (time, energy, or effort) to a project with the expectation of some worthwhile result
    - This is about non-monetary investment (time, energy).

 4. sense_key=investment%1:05:00:: | definition=outer layer or covering of an organ or part or organism
    - This is a biological/medical sense (like a membrane covering). Not relevant here.

 5. sense_key=investment%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of putting on robes or vestments
    - This is about clothing/robes. Not relevant.

 6. sense_key=investment%1:04:02:: | definition=the ceremonial act of clothing someone in the insignia of an office; the formal promotion of a person to an office or rank
    - This is about investiture/ceremonial promotion. Not relevant.

 Now, the phrase is "investment bank". In WordNet, "investment bank" is likely a compound, but here we're looking at the sense of "investment" when used in this phrase.

 Actually, looking at the context, "investment bank" refers to a type of bank that deals with investments. The word "investment" here is being used attributively to modify "bank".

 But looking at the senses provided:
 - Sense 1: the act of investing
 - Sense 2: money that is invested
 - Sense 3: commitment of non-money resources
 - Sense 4: biological covering
 - Sense 5: putting on robes
 - Sense 6: ceremonial clothing

 In the phrase "investment bank", the word "investment" is related to the act or business of investing (sense 1) or potentially the money (sense 2). However, an "investment bank" is a bank that specializes in investments - it's a bank for investments or dealing with investments.

 Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet, "investment bank" might be analyzed as:
 - investment (act of investing) + bank = bank that deals with the act of investing
 OR
 - investment (money invested) + bank = bank that deals with investment funds

 But in standard WordNet sense distinctions for "investment":
 - Sense 1 (investment%1:04:00::) is the act/process: "the act of investing; laying out money or capital..."
 - Sense 2 (investment%1:21:00::) is the money: "money that is invested..."

 In "investment bank", we're referring to a type of financial institution. The term "investment" here is closest to sense 1 (the act/business of investing) or sense 2 (the funds).

 However, looking at the specific context: "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch" - Merrill Lynch is an investment bank, which is a financial institution that assists individuals, corporations, and governments in raising financial capital by underwriting or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities.

 In WordNet, the compound "investment bank" is likely defined using sense 1 or sense 2 of "investment". But since we need to choose the sense of the word "investment" itself in this context...

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure, "investment" is being used as an attributive noun modifying "bank". The question is which sense of "investment" is being invoked.

 An investment bank is a bank whose business is investments. This aligns with sense 1 (the act of investing) - a bank that performs the act of investing, or sense 2 (money invested) - a bank that handles invested money.

 But typically, "investment" in "investment bank" refers to the activity/business of investing (sense 1). However, we should check if WordNet has a specific analysis.

 Wait, I should look at whether "investment bank" is treated as a collocation where "investment" takes a specific sense.

 In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
 - investment bank is defined as: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities" - no, that's commercial bank.
 - Actually, investment bank is: "a financial institution that assists individuals, corporations, and governments in raising financial capital by underwriting or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities"

 But the question is about the sense of "investment" in this context.

 Looking at the glosses again:
 1. the act of investing; laying out money or capital...
 2. money that is invested...
 3. commitment of something other than money...

 In "investment bank", the word "investment" is being used to characterize the type of bank. It deals with investments (the activity - sense 1) or investment funds (the money - sense 2).

 However, looking at standard WSD datasets and how "investment bank" is typically tagged...

 Actually, looking at the context more carefully: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."

 Here, "investment bank" is a compound noun referring to a specific type of financial institution. The word "investment" here is most closely related to sense 1 (the act/business of investing) because an investment bank is defined by its business activity of investing/underwriting, not just by holding money.

 But wait, sense 2 is "money that is invested". An investment bank deals with securities and investments, but the bank itself is not the money.

 Let me reconsider. In phrases like "investment company", "investment trust", "investment bank", the word "investment" typically maps to sense 1 (the act) or sense 2 (the funds).

 Actually, looking at WordNet examples and typical usage:
 - "investment" in "investment bank" is usually considered to be related to the financial concept, and in WordNet, the distinction between sense 1 (act) and sense 2 (money) is important.

 But I recall that in many WSD systems, "investment" when used in financial contexts like "investment bank" or "foreign investment" can be tricky.

 Let me look at the specific senses again:
 - Sense 1: investment%1:04:00:: - the act of investing (event/act noun)
 - Sense 2: investment%1:21:00:: - money that is invested (possession/artifact noun)

 In "investment bank", is the bank an "act of investing" bank or a "money" bank? It's a bank for the activity of investment.

 However, looking at the provided context and the fact that Merrill Lynch is an entity that deals with investments (securities), and the text is about financial transactions...

 Actually, looking at the sentence: "The bank overstretched... by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."

 The key is that Merrill Lynch is an investment bank - a type of bank. The word "investment" here characterizes the nature of the bank's business.

 In WordNet, sense 1 (act) vs sense 2 (money):
 - If we say "investment strategy", that's sense 1 (strategy for the act of investing)
 - If we say "investment income", that's sense 2 (income from the money invested)
 - "Investment bank" is more like the former - it's about the business activity.

 But I should verify. In many lexical resources, "investment" in compounds like "investment banking" or "investment bank" is associated with the financial activity.

 However, looking at the specific WordNet sense keys provided:
 - investment%1:04:00:: (act)
 - investment%1:21:00:: (money)

 Given that Merrill Lynch is an investment bank (a financial institution), and the context is about financial crisis, capital, money, etc., the relevant sense is likely sense 1 or 2.

 But wait, is there any chance it's sense 3? "commitment of something other than money" - no, this is clearly financial.

 Sense 4, 5, 6 are clearly wrong (biological, clothing, ceremonial).

 So it's between 1 and 2.

 Let me think about the phrase "investment bank" more carefully. An investment bank is not literally a bank that is money invested (sense 2), nor is it literally the act of investing (sense 1). It's a bank that performs investment activities.

 In WordNet semantics, when "investment" modifies "bank", it typically takes sense 1 (the act/business). For example, similar to how "savings bank" uses "savings" (the act of saving or the money saved).

 But actually, looking at standard WSD practice for "investment bank":
 - The word "investment" in "investment bank" is often tagged as sense 1 (the act) because it refers to the business of investing.

 However, I want to double-check if there's any other interpretation. Could it be that "investment" here refers to the money invested in the bank? No, that would be "bank investment" (investment in a bank), not "investment bank" (a bank for investments).

 So "investment bank" = bank for investments (the activity).

 Therefore, sense 1 seems correct.

 But let me reconsider sense 2. Is it possible that "investment" in "investment bank" refers to the funds managed by the bank? The bank deals with investment funds. So it could be sense 2.

 However, looking at the gloss for sense 2: "money that is invested with an expectation of profit" - this refers to the capital itself. An investment bank is not "money that is invested", it's an institution.

 The compound "investment bank" is a type of bank characterized by the activity of investment (sense 1).

 Therefore, I choose sense 1.

 Wait, I should check if WordNet has a specific entry for "investment bank" and how it decomposes. WordNet has "investment bank" as a noun:
 - investment bank, merchant bank - a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities (no, that's wrong, that's commercial bank)
 - Actually: investment bank - a financial institution that assists individuals, corporations, and governments in raising financial capital by underwriting or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities

 But this doesn't tell us which sense of "investment" is used in the compound.

 In the context of the sentence: "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch" - this is clearly referring to Merrill Lynch as an investment bank.

 Given the choices, and that senses 3-6 are clearly irrelevant, and sense 2 refers to the money itself while sense 1 refers to the act/business, and an investment bank is defined by its business activity, I believe sense 1 is the correct choice.

 Final check: Could there be any ambiguity I'm missing? The text mentions "convertible loans", "cash injection", "capital market", "liabilities" - all financial terms. The word "investment" appears only in "investment bank". This is a standard financial term.

 Sense 1: the act of investing
 Sense 2: money invested

 In "investment advisor", it's sense 1 (advisor for the act of investing).
 In "investment portfolio", it's sense 2 (portfolio of invested money).
 In "investment bank", it's sense 1 (bank for the business of investing).

 Yes, sense 1.

 One final thought: In some WSD datasets, "investment" in "investment bank" might be mapped to sense 2 if the annotator was thinking of "investment funds". But logically, sense 1 is more appropriate for the institution type.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet 3.1 data:
 - investment%1:04:00:: is under noun.act (acts or actions)
 - investment%1:21:00:: is under noun.possession (possessions)

 An investment bank is neither an act nor a possession, but the modifier "investment" describes the type of activities the bank engages in (acts of investing).

 So I'll go with sense 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "bank" in the given context.

Context analysis:
The sentence is: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment <t>bank</t> Merrill Lynch."

The target word is "bank" in the phrase "investment bank Merrill Lynch".

Looking at the context:
- The text is about financial institutions (Citigroup, Bank of America, financial crisis, investment bank Merrill Lynch)
- Merrill Lynch is a well-known financial services firm, specifically an investment bank
- The phrase "investment bank" is a compound referring to a type of financial institution

Candidate senses:
1. bank%1:17:01:: - sloping land (especially the slope beside a body of water) - No, not geographical.
2. bank%1:14:00:: - a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities - synonyms: depository financial institution, banking concern, banking company. This seems like the best fit. An investment bank is a type of financial institution.
3. bank%1:17:00:: - a long ridge or pile - No.
4. bank%1:14:01:: - an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers - No.
5. bank%1:21:00:: - a supply or stock held in reserve - No.
6. bank%1:21:01:: - the funds held by a gambling house - No.
7. bank%1:17:02:: - a slope in the turn of a road - No.
8. bank%1:06:01:: - a container for keeping money - No.
9. bank%1:06:00:: - a building in which the business of banking transacted - This is the physical building. But "investment bank Merrill Lynch" refers to the institution/firm, not the building. Also, the context talks about taking over Merrill Lynch as a company, not a building.
10. bank%1:04:00:: - a flight maneuver - No.

So sense 2 (bank%1:14:00::) is the correct one. It's the financial institution sense.

Wait, let me double-check the sense index. The user lists them as:
1. sense_key=bank%1:17:01::
2. sense_key=bank%1:14:00::
3. sense_key=bank%1:17:00::
4. sense_key=bank%1:14:01::
5. sense_key=bank%1:21:00::
6. sense_key=bank%1:21:01::
7. sense_key=bank%1:17:02::
8. sense_key=bank%1:06:01::
9. sense_key=bank%1:06:00::
10. sense_key=bank%1:04:00::

So sense_index should be 2.

The target is "investment bank Merrill Lynch". Merrill Lynch is an investment bank - a financial institution. The definition for sense 2 says "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities". While investment banks traditionally don't accept deposits like commercial banks, WordNet's gloss for this sense is schematic and broadly covers financial institutions. The examples "he cashed a check at the bank; that bank holds the mortgage on my home" suggest a depository institution, but the synonyms include "banking concern" and "banking company" which are broader. In common usage and WSD tasks, "investment bank" maps to the financial institution sense (sense 2), not the building sense (sense 9).

Also, earlier in the text: "Bank of America", "Citigroup", "The bank overstretched" - these all refer to the financial institution. The phrase "investment bank" is a collocation referring to the institution.

Therefore, the answer is sense_index 2.

I need to return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. So {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "cash" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about financial institutions, banks, money, investments, and capital markets.
 - The specific sentence containing the target word is: "Citigroup also plans to raise <t>cash</t> on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state."
 - Earlier in the text, there's mention of "cash injection" referring to money given to Bank of America.
 - The context involves raising money/capital from investors, convertible loans, capital increases, etc.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=cash%1:21:00:: | definition=money in the form of bills or coins | synonyms=hard cash, hard currency | examples=there is a desperate shortage of hard cash
    - This refers to physical money (bills or coins), or liquid money in general.
    - In financial contexts, "raising cash" often means raising liquid funds/money, not necessarily physical bills and coins, but money in a liquid form.
    - The gloss says "money in the form of bills or coins" but in financial contexts, this sense extends to liquid funds.

 2. sense_key=cash%1:21:02:: | definition=prompt payment for goods or services in currency or by check | synonyms=immediate payment
    - This refers to the act of paying immediately or the payment itself.
    - The context here is "raise cash" which means to obtain/acquire money, not about making a payment.
    - So this doesn't fit.

 3. sense_key=cash%1:18:00:: | definition=United States country music singer and songwriter (1932-2003) | synonyms=Johnny Cash, John Cash
    - This is the proper noun referring to the person Johnny Cash.
    - The context is clearly about financial matters, not a person.
    - So this is incorrect.

 Between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - "Raise cash" is an idiom meaning to obtain money/funds.
 - Sense 1 is about money itself (bills, coins, or liquid funds).
 - Sense 2 is about payment for goods/services.
 - The context is about Citigroup raising money/funds on the capital market to pay off liabilities. This is about obtaining money/capital, not about making a payment for goods/services.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice. Even though the gloss mentions "bills or coins," in financial contexts, this sense is used broadly to refer to liquid money or funds, as opposed to other forms of value. The phrase "raise cash" clearly aligns with obtaining money (sense 1), not making immediate payment (sense 2).

 The example for sense 1 mentions "hard cash" which aligns with the financial context of raising liquid funds.

 So the answer should be sense index 1.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "liabilities" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) and financial crisis
 - Citigroup plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its "liabilities" with the state
 - Earlier mentions: "cash injection", "convertible loans", "capital increase"
 - The context is clearly financial - banks owing money to the state/government

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=liability%1:26:01:: | definition=the state of being legally obliged and responsible
    - This is about the state of being liable (legal responsibility)
    - Not specifically about money owed

 2. sense_key=liability%1:26:00:: | definition=an obligation to pay money to another party | synonyms=indebtedness, financial obligation
    - This is about financial debt, money owed
    - Synonyms: indebtedness, financial obligation
    - Context mentions "raise cash... to free itself from its liabilities with the state" - this clearly means financial obligations/debts to the state

 3. sense_key=liability%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of being something that holds you back
    - This is the general "handicap" or "burden" sense (e.g., "His lack of experience was a liability")
    - Not the financial meaning

 The context is clearly financial. Citigroup wants to raise cash to free itself from financial obligations (debts) to the state. The synonyms "indebtedness" and "financial obligation" fit perfectly.

 Therefore, sense 2 is the correct choice.

 The user wants the output as: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "state" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) raising money to free themselves from liabilities.
 - Specifically: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the <t>state</t>."
 - This is referring to financial institutions paying back government money/TARP funds from the financial crisis.
 - "Liabilities with the state" here means obligations to the government.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. state%1:15:01:: - territory occupied by administrative districts (province) - doesn't fit
 2. state%1:03:00:: - the way something is (condition/attribute) - doesn't fit
 3. state%1:14:01:: - the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state - possible, but let's check others
 4. state%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country) - this could work, referring to the government/nation as the entity
 5. state%1:26:02:: - chemistry states of matter - doesn't fit
 6. state%1:26:01:: - emotional state - doesn't fit
 7. state%1:15:00:: - territory occupied by a nation - doesn't fit (this is about land/territory)
 8. state%1:14:02:: - Department of State (foreign policy) - too specific, doesn't fit

 Between sense 3 and 4:
 - Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" - focuses on the government as a group
 - Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - focuses on the nation/country as a political entity

 In the context "liabilities with the state", this is referring to the government as the creditor. In financial contexts, especially regarding banks paying back TARP/bailout money, "the state" refers to the government.

 However, looking at the examples:
 - Sense 3 example: "the state has lowered its income tax" - this treats "state" as the government entity that sets tax policy
 - Sense 4 example: "the state has elected a new president" - this treats "state" as the body politic/nation

 In the sentence "free itself from its liabilities with the state", this means obligations to the government. In common parlance regarding the financial crisis, banks were paying back "the state" meaning the government.

 But wait, looking more carefully at WordNet senses:
 - Sense 3 (state%1:14:01::): "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" - this is the government itself
 - Sense 4 (state%1:14:00::): "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is the nation/country

 In the context of "liabilities with the state", this is referring to financial obligations to the government. The phrase "liabilities with the state" is a common way to refer to debts or obligations owed to the government.

 However, looking at the examples for sense 4: "the state has elected a new president; African nations" - this suggests sense 4 is more about the country/nation as a whole.

 For sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" - this refers to the government as an actor.

 In the banking context, when they say they want to free themselves from liabilities with "the state", they mean the government (the US government specifically, as the text mentions US banks and American taxpayer).

 But I need to be careful. In WordNet:
 - Sense 3 is specifically "the group of people comprising the government"
 - Sense 4 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (synonyms: nation, country, land, commonwealth...)

 Actually, looking at the context again: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state."

 This is referring to the US government, which provided bailout funds during the financial crisis. The bank wants to pay back the government to free itself from restrictions.

 Between sense 3 and 4, sense 3 seems more appropriate because it refers specifically to the government (the group of people comprising the government), whereas sense 4 refers to the nation/country as a whole.

 However, looking at the gloss for sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" - this is the government officials/actors.

 Looking at sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is the state as a political entity.

 In many contexts, when we say "the state" as opposed to "the market" or "private sector", we mean the government. But in WordNet, sense 4 seems to be the broader sense of "nation/country" while sense 3 is specifically the governing body.

 Wait, let me reconsider the examples:
 - Sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" - here "state" acts as an agent that lowers taxes. This is the government.
 - Sense 4: "the state has elected a new president" - here "state" is the electorate (the body politic).

 In "liabilities with the state", the bank owes money to the state. Who lent the money? The government (TARP funds). So the bank owes money to the government.

 Therefore, sense 3 seems correct: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state".

 But let me double-check if there's any other interpretation. Could it be sense 1 (province)? No, this is about the US federal government, not a state like California. Could it be sense 7 (territory)? No, liabilities aren't with territory.

 Actually, looking at the text: "free itself from its liabilities with the state" - in European contexts, "the state" often means the government. In US English, we might say "the government" instead, but "the state" is also used, especially in financial/legal contexts.

 Given the synonyms and examples:
 - Sense 3 focuses on the government as the ruling group
 - Sense 4 focuses on the nation as a political entity

 When a bank has "liabilities with the state", it owes money to the government. So sense 3 is the best fit.

 Wait, I should check if there's a sense I'm missing. The user provided 8 senses. Let me verify the indices.

 The user asks for the "sense_index". Looking at the format, they want a number corresponding to the position in the list? Or the WordNet sense number?

 The instruction says: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

 And the candidates are numbered 1-8. So I should return the number from that list (1-8).

 So if I choose sense 3 (state%1:14:01::), I should return {"sense_index": 3}.

 But let me reconsider. Is it possible that sense 4 is better?

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state"
 - Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"

 The key difference is that sense 3 is specifically the government apparatus, while sense 4 is the entire political community (the nation).

 When Citigroup has liabilities with "the state", they mean the US government (the Treasury Department, specifically). This is the governing body, not the entire nation as an abstract entity.

 However, in many financial contexts, "the state" can mean the nation as a sovereign entity that extends credit. But looking at the WordNet examples:
 - Sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" - the government as actor
 - Sense 4: "the state has elected a new president" - the people/electorate

 The bank borrowed from the government (the state as governing entity), not from the people directly. So sense 3 is better.

 Actually, looking at the specific context: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state."

 This is clearly referring to paying back TARP money to the US government. The "state" here is the government.

 Therefore, sense_index: 3.

 But wait, I should check if sense 8 could be relevant? No, that's the State Department (foreign policy), not the Treasury.

 Sense 1 is a sub-national unit (like a US state). But the context is about the US federal government (American taxpayer, US bank).

 So yes, sense 3.

 Final check: The target is "state" in "liabilities with the state". This is a noun. The context is financial/banking crisis. The meaning is the government as a creditor.

 Answer: {"sense_index": 3}

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "bank" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about Bank of America, Citigroup, financial institutions, capital markets, cash injections, financial crisis, investment banks, etc.
 - The target word "bank" appears in the phrase: "Already on Thursday, the US <t>bank</t> was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion..."
 - The context clearly refers to a financial institution - specifically Citigroup, which is a major financial institution/bank.
 - The surrounding text mentions: Bank of America, investors, convertible loans, cash injection, financial crisis, investment bank Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, capital market, capital increase.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:
 1. Sloping land (river bank) - Not relevant, this is about finance.
 2. Financial institution that accepts deposits and channels money into lending - This fits perfectly. Citigroup is a financial institution.
 3. Long ridge or pile - Not relevant.
 4. Arrangement of similar objects in a row - Not relevant (like a bank of switches).
 5. Supply or stock held in reserve - While "bank" can mean this, in the context of "US bank" referring to Citigroup, it's clearly the institution.
 6. Funds held by gambling house - Not relevant.
 7. Slope in turn of road - Not relevant.
 8. Container for keeping money (piggy bank) - Not relevant.
 9. Building where banking is transacted - This is close, but sense 2 is better because the text refers to the institution itself (Citigroup as a bank/entity) making financial announcements, not specifically the physical building. However, both 2 and 9 could be considered. But given the context talks about the bank raising capital, announcing things, being a financial institution, sense 2 (the institution) is better than sense 9 (the building).
 10. Flight maneuver - Not relevant.

 The best sense is clearly sense 2: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities" (bank%1:14:00::).

 The target is "US bank" referring to Citigroup, which is a depository financial institution.

 So the answer should be: {"sense_index": 2}

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "capital" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:

 The text is about Bank of America, Kenneth Lewis, Citigroup, financial crisis, Merrill Lynch, and raising money. Specifically, the sentence with the target word is: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a <t>capital</t> increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles."

 Key context clues:
 - "capital increase"
 - "USD 20 billion"
 - Financial/banking context
 - Bank raising money
 - "free itself from its liabilities with the state"
 - Financial crisis context

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=capital%1:21:01:: | definition=assets available for use in the production of further assets | synonyms=working capital
    - This refers to working capital (assets for production)

 2. sense_key=capital%1:21:00:: | definition=wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
    - This refers to wealth/money/property owned by a business

 3. sense_key=capital%1:15:00:: | definition=a seat of government
    - Geographic/political meaning (like capital city)

 4. sense_key=capital%1:10:00:: | definition=one of the large alphabetic characters used as the first letter in writing or printing proper names and sometimes for emphasis | synonyms=capital letter, uppercase...
    - Typography meaning

 5. sense_key=capital%1:15:01:: | definition=a center that is associated more than any other with some activity or product | examples=the crime capital of Italy...
    - Center of activity (like "fashion capital")

 6. sense_key=capital%1:14:00:: | definition=the federal government of the United States | synonyms=Washington
    - Refers to Washington D.C. or the government

 7. sense_key=capital%1:10:01:: | definition=a book written by Karl Marx (1867) describing his economic theories | synonyms=Das Kapital
    - The book by Marx

 8. sense_key=capital%1:06:00:: | definition=the upper part of a column that supports the entablature | synonyms=chapiter, cap
    - Architecture (column capital)

 Now, in the phrase "capital increase" in financial/banking context:

 "Capital increase" typically means increasing the amount of money/property owned by the business - i.e., raising wealth/money. This aligns with sense 2: "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value."

 However, sense 1 is also financial: "assets available for use in the production of further assets" (working capital).

 Let me think about the difference:
 - Sense 2 (capital%1:21:00::) is the broader sense of capital as wealth/money owned by a business. This includes equity capital, etc.
 - Sense 1 (capital%1:21:01::) is specifically working capital (current assets minus current liabilities).

 In the context of "capital increase of some USD 20 billion" for a bank recovering from financial crisis, this refers to raising equity capital or financial capital - i.e., increasing the wealth/money owned by the business.

 "Capital increase" (or "capital raising") in corporate finance typically refers to increasing shareholders' equity - increasing the capital in sense of wealth owned by the business.

 Looking at WordNet:
 - Sense 1:21:00 is "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value"
 - Sense 1:21:01 is "assets available for use in the production of further assets" (working capital)

 The phrase "capital increase" in banking context almost always refers to increasing the bank's capital base (equity capital), not working capital. Banks raise capital (equity) to strengthen their balance sheets.

 Therefore, sense 2 (capital%1:21:00::) is the correct sense.

 Wait, let me double-check the indices. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=capital%1:21:01:: (working capital)
 2. sense_key=capital%1:21:00:: (wealth/money owned)
 ...

 So sense index 2 would be the one with definition "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business..."

 Actually, looking at the numbering:
 1. sense_key=capital%1:21:01::
 2. sense_key=capital%1:21:00::
 ...

 The user asks me to return {"sense_index": 3} format - meaning the number in their list (1-indexed).

 So if I choose sense 2 (wealth), that would be index 2.

 But let me verify sense 1 vs sense 2 distinction again.

 Sense 1:21:01 - working capital (assets for production)
 Sense 1:21:00 - wealth/property owned

 "Capital increase" in the context of Citigroup announcing a $20 billion capital increase during the financial crisis... this is definitely about raising equity capital. This is the financial capital that represents the ownership value in the company.

 In WordNet, "financial capital" or "investment capital" would map to sense 2 (the wealth definition), not sense 1 (working capital which is about day-to-day operations).

 Also, looking at the context: "raise cash on the capital market", "capital increase", "liabilities with the state" - this is about financial capital as opposed to working capital.

 Therefore, the correct sense is index 2.

 Wait, I need to be careful. Let me look at the examples and synsets again.

 Actually, in WordNet 3.1:
 - capital%1:21:00:: - wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value; "industrial capital"; "risk capital"; "he tried to gauge the wealth of the city"
 - capital%1:21:01:: - assets available for use in the production of further assets; "working capital"

 The phrase "capital increase" in corporate finance refers to increasing the company's capital (equity), which falls under the general definition of wealth owned by the business (sense 1:21:00).

 Actually, checking standard WSD datasets... in financial contexts like "raise capital", "capital increase", this is typically sense 1:21:00 (the wealth/money sense), not working capital.

 So index 2.

 But I should double-check if there are any other possibilities. Could it be sense 1 (working capital)? Unlikely. A $20 billion working capital increase would be unusual to announce this way, and "capital market" suggests the broader financial sense.

 Could it be sense 3 (seat of government)? No, "capital market" and "capital increase" clearly financial.

 Could it be sense 6 (Washington/US government)? No.

 So it's between 1 and 2.

 Given that:
 - The bank is raising money to "free itself from its liabilities with the state"
 - This is post-financial crisis, strengthening balance sheet
 - $20 billion is a large equity raise
 - "Capital market" refers to markets where long-term capital is raised

 This is definitely the "wealth/money owned by a business" sense (index 2).

 The index is 2.

 But wait, I need to check if the user wants the WordNet sense key or the index in the list. The instructions say: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

 So I return the index from the list (1-indexed).

 My answer: {"sense_index": 2}
