The user wants me to identify which sense of "figure" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence:

"Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same <t>figure</t> as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

The word "figure" here refers to the percentage value "44%" or the statistical number. It's referring to a numerical value or amount.

Let me look at the options:
1. diagram or picture - No, it's not a diagram.
2. body of a human being - No.
3. one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration (digits) - No, it's not referring to a digit like 0 or 1.
4. model of a bodily form - No.
5. well-known or notable person - No.
6. combination of points and lines and planes - No.
7. an amount of money expressed numerically - This mentions "amount of money", but the word "figure" here is used more broadly for a numerical value or statistic.
8. the impression produced by a person - No.
9. the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals - This seems close. It mentions "number" and refers to a quantity.
10. language used in a figurative sense - No.
11. a unitary percept - No.
12. decorative or artistic work - No.
13. predetermined set of movements - No.

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence says "the same figure as last year" referring to the percentage 44%. This is a numerical value.

Looking at sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically" - examples: "a figure of $17 was suggested". This is specifically about money.

Looking at sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - examples: "he had a number of chores to do". This is about the concept of number/quantity in general.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 9, the definition says "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" and the example is "he had a number of chores to do". This seems to be defining "figure" as synonymous with "number" in the sense of a quantity.

But wait, I need to look at the specific context. The sentence is talking about a percentage (44%) being "the same figure as last year". This is referring to the numerical value itself.

Let me check if there's a better fit. Sense 7 is about money specifically. Sense 9 is about number/quantity.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions, "figure" can mean a numerical symbol or a number representing an amount or value.

Sense 9 says: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". This is defining "figure" as a number or quantity.

But let me look at sense 7 again: "an amount of money expressed numerically". The example is "a figure of $17 was suggested".

In the given sentence, "figure" refers to the percentage value 44%. It's a statistic, a number. It's not specifically money, though it could be used for statistics in general.

Wait, I should look more carefully. The word "figure" in the context of statistics and data usually refers to a numerical value.

Let me check sense 9's definition again: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". This is a bit abstract. It seems to be defining "figure" as "number" in the sense of quantity.

But actually, looking at the example for sense 9: "he had a number of chores to do" - wait, that example uses the word "number", not "figure". This is confusing.

Let me reconsider all the senses:

Sense 1: diagram - no
Sense 2: body - no
Sense 3: digit (0-9) - no, 44% is not a digit
Sense 4: statue/model - no
Sense 5: famous person - no
Sense 6: geometric shape - no
Sense 7: amount of money - no, it's a percentage, not money
Sense 8: impression/appearance - no
Sense 9: number/quantity - this seems closest. "the same figure as last year" means the same number/statistic.
Sense 10: figurative language - no
Sense 11: perceptual figure-ground - no
Sense 12: decorative design - no
Sense 13: skating/dancing figure - no

Sense 9 is the only one that fits. The definition mentions "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" which is a bit philosophical, but it basically means a number or quantity. The word "figure" in the sentence refers to the numerical value of 44%.

Actually, let me double-check sense 7. While the definition mentions money, "figure" is often used to mean "number" or "numerical value" in general, especially in statistics and data contexts. However, the definition specifically says "amount of money", so it's too narrow.

Sense 9 is the best fit. "Figure" here means a number or statistical value.

Wait, I want to make sure. Let me look at the exact wording of sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". This is actually the definition of "number", not specifically "figure". But "figure" can be synonymous with "number" in certain contexts.

Actually, looking at standard WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 9 might be the definition of "figure" as "number".

Let me think about this differently. In the sentence, "the same figure as last year" refers to the percentage value remaining constant. This is clearly sense 9.

But I want to be absolutely sure. Is there any other sense that could fit?

Sense 1 is about diagrams. Sometimes "figure" means a chart or diagram (like Figure 1, Figure 2). But in this sentence, "figure" refers to the value 44%, not to the chart. The sentence mentions "chart 3" separately at the end, so "figure" here is not referring to a diagram.

Therefore, it must be sense 9.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 9: "he had a number of chores to do" - this suggests that sense 9 is actually defining "number", and perhaps "figure" is being used as a synonym for "number" in this sense.

Yes, that makes sense. "Figure" can mean "number" or "numerical value".

So the answer is 9.

But let me reconsider one more time. Could it be sense 7? "An amount of money expressed numerically". The example is "a figure of $17 was suggested".

In business and economics contexts, "figure" is often used to refer to numerical values, not just money. For example, "sales figures", "unemployment figures". These are statistics.

Looking at the definitions again:
- Sense 7: specifically mentions money
- Sense 9: mentions "sum or total or indefinite quantity"

The sentence is about a survey result - 44% of respondents. This is a statistic, a number. It's not money. So sense 9 is better.

Actually, I should check if there's a sense about statistics or data. Looking at the list, sense 9 is the only one that deals with quantity/number in a general sense.

Therefore, the answer is 9.

Wait, I want to look at sense 1 again. "definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2"

In academic writing, "Figure 2" refers to a diagram. But in the given sentence, "the same figure as last year" clearly refers to the percentage value, not a diagram. The phrase "same...as last year" indicates it's comparing a value from this year to a value from last year. Diagrams aren't typically described as "the same as last year" in this context.

So definitely not sense 1.

Sense 9 is correct.

Actually, one more check: could "figure" mean "digit" (sense 3)? "0 and 1 are digits". No, 44% is a percentage, not a digit.

Could it be sense 6? "a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape" - that's a geometric figure. No.

Sense 8: "the impression produced by a person" - "he cut a fine figure". No.

So yes, sense 9 is the answer.

The number is 9.

Which numbered sense of "year" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "year" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

The word "year" here is used in the phrase "last year". This refers to the previous calendar year or the previous 365-day period.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
   - This seems to fit "last year" - it refers to the previous calendar year, which is a period of 365/366 days.

2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
   - This refers to specific activity-based years like academic year, fiscal year, etc. The sentence doesn't specify any particular activity, just "last year" in general.

3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
   - This is the astronomical definition. While related, "last year" in common parlance refers to the calendar time period, not specifically the astronomical orbital period (though they are related).

4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97
   - This is clearly not the meaning here. "Last year" doesn't refer to a graduating class.

So the choice is between sense 1 and sense 3.

Sense 1 is the general definition of a year as a time period (365/366 days).
Sense 3 is specifically about the orbital period of a planet.

In the context "last year", this is referring to the previous calendar year, which is sense 1. It's the standard, general meaning of "year" as a unit of time.

Sense 3 is more technical/astronomical. While Earth's year is indeed the time it takes to orbit the sun, when people say "last year" they mean "the previous calendar year" or "the previous 365-day period", not specifically making reference to the orbital mechanics.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

Wait, let me double-check. The example for sense 1 is "she is 4 years old" - this refers to age measured in years. "Last year" refers to the specific previous calendar year.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions (like WordNet, which this appears to be based on):
- Sense 1: The general time period (calendar year)
- Sense 2: A specific division of the year for activities (academic year, etc.)
- Sense 3: The astronomical orbital period
- Sense 4: A class of students

"Last year" clearly fits sense 1 - it's referring to the previous calendar year (365/366 day period).

Yes, the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "increase" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "increase" is used in the given sentence. I need to return only the number.

Let me analyze the sentence:
"Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

Here, "increase" refers to the difference between 44% and 25%. It's talking about the amount by which the percentage has grown. Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
   - This seems like a specific quantity added, but "increase" here is the difference/amount of change.

2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
   - This refers to a change event, but in the sentence it's referring to the numerical difference.

3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
   - This is the process or phenomenon of growing. But the sentence says "a big increase on the 25%" which refers to the difference in percentage points.

4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
   - This matches! The sentence compares 44% to 25%, so the increase is 19 percentage points. It's the amount by which the figure increased.

5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary
   - This is the act/action of increasing. But in the sentence, it's not about an act someone performed, but about the resulting difference in numbers.

Wait, let me reconsider. The phrase is "a big increase on the 25% in 2001". This means the 44% figure represents a big increase compared to 25%. Is it referring to the amount of increase (44% - 25% = 19 percentage points) or the change/result?

Looking at sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" - examples: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". This is about the magnitude of the increase.

Looking at sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase" - examples: "the increase is scheduled for next month". This seems to treat increase as an event/change.

Looking at sense 3: "a process of becoming larger..." - examples: "the increase in unemployment". This is more about the trend or process.

In the sentence, "a big increase on the 25%" - the word "big" suggests it's measurable. It's referring to the fact that 44% is much larger than 25%, so the increase (difference) is large. This aligns with sense 4: the amount by which something increases.

But wait, let me look at sense 1 again: "a quantity that is added". An increase of 19 percentage points is a quantity that is added to 25% to get 44%. But sense 4 is more specific: "the amount by which something increases".

Actually, looking at WordNet senses (which this seems to be based on):
- Sense 1: addition, increase, gain - a quantity that is added
- Sense 2: increase - a change resulting in an increase
- Sense 3: increase, increment, growth - a process of becoming larger...
- Sense 4: increase, increment - the amount by which something increases
- Sense 5: increase, step-up - the act of increasing something

In the sentence: "a big increase on the 25% in 2001". The 44% figure is an increase on (compared to) 25%. The 44% itself represents the new value, but it's being described as "an increase" relative to the old value. Actually, no - the 44% is the new figure, and it constitutes a big increase from 25%.

Wait, is the 44% itself the increase? No, the increase is the difference. But in common usage, we might say "44% is a big increase from 25%". Here, "increase" refers to the new value being higher, but technically it's the difference.

Let me check the example for sense 4: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". This is clearly the amount.
Example for sense 1: "there was an addition to property taxes this year" - this is a quantity added.
Example for sense 2: "the increase is scheduled for next month" - the change/event.
Example for sense 3: "the increase in unemployment" - the process/trend.

In our sentence: "a big increase on the 25%". The phrase "on the 25%" (or from 25%) indicates the baseline. The increase is the difference. And "big" modifies it as a large amount. So sense 4 seems best.

But let me double-check if it could be sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase". The sentence is describing a statistic: 44% is a big increase on 25%. It's not describing a scheduled change, but a measured difference.

Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" - 44% - 25% = 19%, which is the amount by which the satisfaction increased.

Actually, looking carefully at the sentence structure: "the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". The subject is "Some 44% of respondents...". The 44% is "the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". So the 44% figure is being called a big increase compared to 25%.

In this usage, does "increase" mean:
- The amount of the increase (19 points)?
- Or the result/change itself?

If I say "My salary is $60,000, which is a big increase on the $40,000 I used to make", the $60,000 is not the increase itself (which is $20,000), but the new salary. However, we often loosely call the new figure "an increase". But in precise terms, the increase is the difference.

Wait, in the sentence: "44% ... a big increase on the 25%". Is 44% the increase? No, 44% is the new percentage. The increase is 19 percentage points. But the sentence says 44% is a big increase on 25%. This is slightly metonymic - the new figure stands for the increase, or rather, the situation/result is called an increase.

But looking at the senses, sense 2 is "a change resulting in an increase". Hmm, that's circular. Let me think about WordNet definitions more carefully.

Actually, WordNet defines for increase (noun):
1. addition, increase, gain -- (a quantity that is added; "there was an addition to property taxes this year"; "they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks")
2. increase -- (a change resulting in an increase; "the increase is scheduled for next month")
3. increase, increment, growth -- (a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important; "the increase in unemployment"; "the growth of population")
4. increase, increment -- (the amount by which something increases; "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare")
5. increase, step-up -- (the act of increasing something; "he gave me an increase in salary")

In the sentence, "a big increase on the 25% in 2001", the increase is the difference between 44% and 25%. It's 19 percentage points. This is clearly "the amount by which something increases" = sense 4.

But wait - could it be sense 1? "a quantity that is added". The 19 percentage points is a quantity added to 25%. But sense 4 is more precise because it specifically captures "the amount by which something increases" and the example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" is very similar to "a big increase on the 25%".

Also, note that in the sentence, "increase" is modified by "big" and followed by "on the 25%". This parallels "an increase of 15 percent".

Sense 3 would be "the increase in unemployment" - a process. But here it's "a big increase on the 25%", not "the increase in satisfaction".

Sense 5 is the act of increasing. "He gave me an increase" - but here no one is performing an act of increasing. It's a statistical observation.

So sense 4 is the best fit.

Wait, I should reconsider. In "a big increase on the 25%", is the increase the 44% figure itself or the difference? Let's parse: "44% ... is ... a big increase on the 25%". This means 44% represents a big increase when compared to 25%. In common parlance, we say "The number is 44%, a big increase from 25%." Here, 44% is the new level, but we refer to the change as an increase. The actual increase is 19 points. But the sentence structure treats the 44% figure as an increase relative to 25%.

However, in dictionary sense, "increase" as "the amount by which something increases" fits because the 19-point difference is what makes it "a big increase". If the figure were 26%, it would be a small increase. So "big" modifies the magnitude of the difference. Therefore, it's sense 4.

Let me verify with similar examples. "The population is 100,000, an increase of 10,000 over last year." Here, "an increase of 10,000" is clearly sense 4. Our sentence: "44% ... a big increase on the 25%". The "on the 25%" is analogous to "over last year". The increase is the gap between the two numbers.

Yes, sense 4.

Actually, looking at the exact wording again: "the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". The subject of "a big increase" is the 44% figure. So "44% is a big increase on the 25%". This is like saying "$50 is a big increase on $30". Here, $50 is not the amount of increase (which is $20), but the new amount. However, in English, we can say the new amount "is an increase" over the old amount. In this usage, does "increase" mean the new higher amount or the difference?

If I say "My new salary is an increase on my old salary", I'm saying my new salary constitutes an increase. But what sense is that? It might be sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase". Or sense 3: "a process of becoming larger...".

But wait, in "My new salary is an increase on my old salary", the salary itself isn't the increase - the difference is. However, metonymically we say this. But in the given sentence, "a big increase" - the word "big" suggests magnitude of difference. If 44% is the figure, and the old figure was 25%, the difference is 19%. 19% is big. 44% is just a percentage. So "big" is describing the difference, not the absolute value. Therefore, "increase" refers to the difference, i.e., the amount by which it increased. Sense 4.

Also, consider: if it were sense 3 (process), we'd expect "the increase in satisfaction" not "a big increase on the 25%".
If it were sense 5 (act), we'd expect an agent.
If it were sense 1, the example is "addition to property taxes" which is a specific thing added.
If it were sense 2, "a change resulting in an increase" - the example "the increase is scheduled" treats it as an event.

Sense 4 with example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent" matches the numerical comparison structure perfectly.

Therefore, the answer is 4.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "chart" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (<t>chart</t> 3)."

The two senses provided are:
1. definition=a visual display of information
2. definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

In the sentence, "chart 3" appears to be referring to a figure or diagram that displays the data mentioned (the 44%, 25%, etc.). This is clearly referring to a visual display of information, not a navigation map.

So the answer should be 1.

Let me double-check:
- The context is about survey results and statistics (44% of respondents, 25% in 2001)
- It references "chart 3" which would be a figure showing this data visually
- Sense 1 is "a visual display of information" - this fits perfectly
- Sense 2 is about navigation maps - this doesn't fit at all

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

3. definition=a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy
4. definition=a trustful relationship | examples=he took me into his confidence
5. definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "confidence" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

 The word "confidence" is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - "they had confidence in their country's Congress"
 - "and 45% in their government"
 - This is about public opinion/survey data regarding trust in institutions (Congress and government)

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities" - This is about self-confidence, belief in one's own abilities. The example mentions "his assurance in his superiority". This doesn't fit because the sentence is about confidence in Congress/government (external entities), not self-confidence.

 2. "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" - The example is "I have confidence in our team". This seems to fit well. The sentence says they had "confidence in their country's Congress" - this is trust in an institution.

 3. "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" - The example is "public confidence in the economy". This is also about trust in something, but specifically about hopefulness that events will be favorable. While "confidence in the economy" is similar, the sentence specifically mentions confidence in Congress and government as institutions/entities.

 Let me compare sense 2 and 3 more carefully:
 - Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" - general trust in a person or thing
 - Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" - more specific to hope about future events being favorable

 The sentence is about having confidence in Congress and government - this is trust in these institutions. It's not specifically about hope that events will be favorable (though that's related), but rather trust in the institutions themselves.

 Actually, looking at sense 3's example: "public confidence in the economy" - this is very similar to "confidence in their country's Congress". Both are about public trust in institutions/systems.

 But sense 2 says "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" with example "I have confidence in our team".

 Sense 3 says "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" with example "public confidence in the economy".

 The sentence mentions "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress" - this is clearly trust in an institution.

 However, looking at the specific wording:
 - Sense 2 focuses on "trust" in someone/something
 - Sense 3 focuses on "hopefulness that events will be favorable"

 When we say we have "confidence in Congress", we mean we trust Congress, we believe they will do the right thing or act in our interests. This aligns more with sense 2 (trust in someone/something).

 But wait, sense 3's example "public confidence in the economy" is very similar to having confidence in Congress. Both are macro-level institutions.

 Let me reconsider. In many dictionaries, "confidence" when referring to trust in institutions or systems can be categorized differently.

 Actually, looking at the definitions again:
 - Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)"
 - Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable"

 The key difference is that sense 3 emphasizes hope about future events being favorable, while sense 2 is about trust in the entity itself.

 In the sentence, people are expressing confidence in Congress and government. This is typically categorized as "trust" in these bodies. However, sense 3's example "public confidence in the economy" suggests that confidence in systems/institutions might be sense 3.

 But "confidence in the economy" is about the expectation that the economy will do well (future events being favorable), whereas "confidence in Congress" could mean trust in the institution itself.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions (like WordNet or similar), sense 2 usually corresponds to "trust, reliance" - having confidence in someone means believing they are reliable or competent.

 Sense 3 seems to be about optimism regarding outcomes.

 In the context of surveys about institutions like Congress, "confidence" usually means "trust" - believing the institution is competent and will act properly. This would be sense 2.

 However, I should check if there's a distinction I'm missing. The example for sense 3 is "public confidence in the economy" - this is very similar to the sentence's "confidence in their country's Congress".

 But "confidence in the economy" is about believing the economy will perform well (future events), while "confidence in Congress" is about believing Congress will act properly or is competent (trust in the entity).

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government" - this is clearly parallel to sense 2's example "I have confidence in our team" - trust in a group/institution.

 Sense 4: "a trustful relationship" - this is about the relationship itself, not the feeling of trust toward something. Example: "he took me into his confidence" - meaning he shared secrets with me. This doesn't fit.

 Sense 5: "a secret that is confided" - clearly not this, as it's about having confidence in something, not a secret being shared.

 So it's between sense 2 and sense 3.

 Given that sense 2 explicitly mentions "trust (in someone or something)" and the example is "I have confidence in our team" (a group/institution), and the sentence is about confidence in Congress (an institution) and government (an institution), sense 2 seems the best fit.

 Sense 3's example "public confidence in the economy" could arguably fit, but "economy" is more of a system/events process, whereas "Congress" is a specific body of people. Also, sense 3 emphasizes "hopefulness that events will be favorable" which is slightly different from trust in an institution's character or competence.

 Therefore, the answer should be 2.

 Wait, let me double-check by looking at how these senses are typically distinguished in WordNet or similar lexical databases.

 In WordNet, "confidence" has several senses:
 1. assurance, self-assurance, confidence, self-confidence, authority, sureness (freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities) - matches sense 1
 2. confidence (a feeling of trust (in someone or something)) - matches sense 2
 3. confidence (a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable) - matches sense 3
 4. confidence (a trustful relationship) - matches sense 4
 5. confidence (a secret that is confided or entrusted to another) - matches sense 5

 In the sentence "they had confidence in their country's Congress", this is clearly the "trust" sense - believing that Congress will act properly or is competent.

 The example "I have confidence in our team" (sense 2) is structurally identical to "they had confidence in their country's Congress".

 The example for sense 3 "public confidence in the economy" is also similar, but "economy" is an abstract system where "events will be favorable" makes sense, whereas "Congress" is a deliberative body where "trust" is the more primary meaning.

 Also, in political science and polling contexts, "confidence in institutions" is typically measured as "trust" in those institutions.

 Therefore, I conclude the answer is 2.

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "country" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'s Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

 The word "country" is marked with <t></t> tags, and it's used in the possessive form "country's Congress".

 Let's look at the context:
 - "their country's Congress" - referring to the legislative body of a nation
 - "their government" - referring to the governing body
 - The sentence is about people having confidence in their country's Congress and government

 Now let's examine the senses:

 1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" | examples="the state has elected a new president"
    - This refers to the political entity/state itself. "Country" as a political entity.

 2. "the territory occupied by a nation" | examples="he returned to the land of his birth"
    - This refers to the physical land/territory.

 3. "the people who live in a nation or country" | examples="a statement that sums up the nation's mood"
    - This refers to the population/citizens.

 4. "an area outside of cities and towns" | examples="his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country"
    - This is the rural vs urban distinction.

 5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography)" | examples="it was a mountainous area"
    - This refers to a region/area.

 In the sentence, "country's Congress" refers to the Congress belonging to the nation/state. The Congress is a governmental institution of the political entity.

 But let's look more carefully. When we say "country's Congress", we are referring to the Congress of that particular nation. The word "country" here refers to the nation as a political entity.

 However, let's check if it could be sense 3 (the people). "The people's Congress" would make sense, but "country" in "country's Congress" typically refers to the nation/state as a political unit, not specifically the people themselves.

 Actually, looking at the definitions again:
 - Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is the state/nation as a political entity.
 - Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - the population.

 In "their country's Congress", "country" refers to the nation they belong to. But which sense is this?

 If we look at the example for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - this uses "state" synonymously with the definition.
 If we look at sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this refers to the people's mood.

 In the sentence, "their country's Congress" - this is the Congress of their nation. This aligns with sense 1 (the politically organized body of people under a single government) or potentially sense 3 (the people).

 But "Congress" is a governmental institution. The possessive "country's" indicates belonging to the country. In this context, "country" refers to the nation-state.

 However, let's think about how these senses are typically distinguished in WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this seems to be based on).

 Sense 1: the political entity (the state)
 Sense 2: the territory/land
 Sense 3: the people/citizens
 Sense 4: rural areas
 Sense 5: geographical region

 In the phrase "their country's Congress", the referent is the nation as a political body. So it should be sense 1.

 But wait, let me reconsider. Could it be sense 3? "The people's Congress" - but that would be an unusual way to phrase it unless specified as such. Usually, "country's Congress" means the Congress of that nation/country.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - here "nation" refers to the people (their mood).

 In our sentence: "confidence in their country's Congress" - this is confidence in the legislative institution of their nation. The country here is the political entity that has a Congress.

 So sense 1 seems correct: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".

 However, I should verify if there's any ambiguity with sense 3. If "country" meant the people, then "the people's Congress" would be the Congress belonging to the people. But "country's Congress" refers to the national Congress, i.e., the Congress of the nation.

 In many lexical databases (like WordNet), sense 1 of "country" is often "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - which is essentially the definition of a nation-state as a political entity.

 Let me double-check by considering if any other sense could fit:
 - Sense 2 (territory): "the territory's Congress"? No.
 - Sense 4 (rural area): "the rural area's Congress"? No, that doesn't make sense.
 - Sense 5 (region): "the region's Congress"? Possible, but unlikely in this context of general confidence in national institutions alongside "government".

 The sentence mentions "their government" in parallel with "their country's Congress". This suggests "country" is being used to mean the nation/state, and "government" is the administration. So "country's Congress" is the legislative branch of that nation.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

 Wait, I want to make sure about sense 3. The example is "a statement that sums up the nation's mood". If we replace "nation" with "country" in that example, it would be sense 3. But in our target sentence, we're talking about a Congress, which is an institution of the state/government, not necessarily of the people (though democratic theory says it represents the people, the possessive "country's" here refers to the nation-state as the container/owner of the institution).

 Actually, looking at WordNet definitions for "country":

 From WordNet 3.0:
 - S: (n) state, nation, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic (a politically organized body of people under a single government)
 - S: (n) country, state, land (the territory occupied by a nation)
 - S: (n) nation, land, country (the people who live in a nation or country)
 - S: (n) country, rural area (an area outside of cities and towns)
 - S: (n) country (a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography))

 So sense 1 is the political entity (state/nation), sense 2 is the territory, sense 3 is the people.

 In the sentence "their country's Congress", this is the Congress of their nation/state. Therefore it is sense 1.

 Final check: Could it be interpreted as sense 3? "The people's Congress"? While Congress represents the people, the phrase "country's Congress" attributes ownership to the political entity, not the people themselves. If the sentence said "the country supports this" it might be ambiguous between sense 1 and 3 (government vs people), but with "country's Congress", it's clearly referring to the national legislative body of the political entity.

 So the answer is 1.

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "congress" is used in the given sentence.

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

The senses provided are:
1. the legislature of the United States government
2. a meeting of elected or appointed representatives
3. a national legislative assembly
4. the act of sexual procreation...

Let me analyze the sentence:
- It mentions "their country's Congress" - this suggests a national legislative body
- It contrasts "Congress" with "their government"
- The context talks about confidence polling in political institutions
- The capitalization of "Congress" suggests it's referring to a specific named institution, but it could be generic depending on the country

Wait, looking carefully: "their country's Congress" - this could refer to:
- If this is about the US: Sense 1 (US Congress)
- If this is about another country: Sense 3 (national legislative assembly)

However, Sense 1 is specifically about the US. Sense 3 is about a national legislative assembly generally.

Given the phrasing "their country's Congress", this is likely referring to a specific national legislative body, but not necessarily the US specifically. However, the word "Congress" with capital C often refers specifically to the US Congress when used without qualification, but here it says "their country's Congress" which suggests it could be any country that calls its legislature "Congress".

But looking at the definitions:
1. Specifically US
3. Generic national legislative assembly called "Congress"

The sentence mentions "their country" (possessive), suggesting it could be any country. But "Congress" with capital C suggests it's the proper name of the specific country's legislature.

Actually, looking at the context again, this appears to be survey data about confidence in national institutions. Many countries have a legislative body called "Congress" (e.g., Philippines, Argentina, etc.), not just the US.

Sense 3 "a national legislative assembly" seems to fit best because:
- It refers to "their country's Congress" implying a generic national legislative body
- If it were specifically about the US, it would likely just say "Congress" without "their country's" or would say "the U.S. Congress"
- The comparison with "their government" suggests a generic national institution

However, Sense 1 could also fit if "their country" refers to the United States in the broader context.

But looking at the phrasing carefully: "their country's Congress" - this construction suggests that "Congress" is being used as a proper noun for the legislative body of the country being discussed. Many countries use "Congress" as the name of their legislature.

Sense 1 is very specific to the US.
Sense 3 is the general definition for any national legislative assembly called "Congress".

Given the use of "their country" (implying it could be various countries in a survey context), and the fact that many countries have congresses, Sense 3 seems most appropriate.

Wait, but I should check if there's any clue about which specific sense is intended. The sentence structure suggests this is from a poll about multiple countries or a specific country being discussed in a general way.

Actually, looking at typical usage:
- "Congress" capitalized usually refers to the US Congress (Sense 1)
- But "their country's Congress" suggests a generic usage

However, in many contexts, particularly international surveys, "Congress" might be used to translate the name of the legislative body in countries where it's called "Congreso" etc.

But let's look at the definitions again:
1. the legislature of the United States government - very specific
2. a meeting of elected or appointed representatives - this would be like a "medical congress" or "international congress", not typically a standing legislative body
3. a national legislative assembly - this would include the US Congress but also other countries' congresses
4. sexual intercourse - clearly wrong

Between 1 and 3:
If the sentence is talking about the United States specifically, then 1 would be correct.
If the sentence is talking about any country that has a congress, then 3 would be correct.

The phrase "their country's Congress" paired with percentages suggests this might be from an international survey (like World Values Survey or similar) where they're asking about institutions across different countries. In such contexts, "Congress" might be the translation used for the national legislature in countries that have a congress (as opposed to Parliament, Diet, etc.).

However, Sense 1 is a subset of Sense 3 (the US Congress is a national legislative assembly). But Sense 1 is more specific.

Given the phrasing "their country's Congress", and the fact that it's being compared to "their government", this seems to be distinguishing between the legislative branch and the executive/government broadly. This could apply to many countries.

But I need to determine which sense number is the correct answer.

Let me reconsider: Is there any reason to prefer Sense 1 over Sense 3?

If this were specifically about the US, the sentence would likely say "Congress" without "their country's" (which would be redundant for Americans talking about their own country, or odd for others talking about the US). The phrase "their country's Congress" suggests variability - different respondents from different countries talking about their respective congresses.

Therefore, Sense 3 seems correct.

But wait - looking at the example sentence structure again: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress..."

This could be from a report about a specific country - like "In Argentina, some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress..."

In that case, if the country is the United States, Sense 1 applies. If it's another country with a congress, Sense 3 applies.

But without specific context indicating it's the US, and given the generality of "their country", Sense 3 is the safer bet because it's the broader definition that encompasses any national legislative assembly called "Congress", including but not limited to the US.

However, looking at WordNet or similar lexicographical resources (which this format resembles), Sense 1 is usually reserved specifically for the US Congress, while Sense 3 is for the general concept.

Given the lack of specific US context markers (like "Washington", "Senate", "House", "American"), and the presence of "their country" suggesting a general or comparative context, I believe the answer is 3.

But I should double-check: could it be Sense 2? "a meeting of elected or appointed representatives" - this usually refers to a specific gathering or conference, like "the annual congress of the neurological society", not a standing legislative body. The sentence is clearly talking about a governmental institution that persists over time (comparing data from last year and 2003), so it's not a meeting. So Sense 2 is out.

Sense 4 is definitely out.

So it's between 1 and 3.

Given that the sentence uses "their country's" which implies possession and specificity to whichever country is being discussed, and since many countries have congresses (not just the US), Sense 3 is the appropriate general definition.

However, if this is from a specific US political poll reported in a way that assumes US context, Sense 1 might be intended.

But looking at the text: "their country's Congress and 45% in their government" - this phrasing suggests the speaker is outside the country being discussed, or it's a general statement about people in relation to their own country. This supports the interpretation that it's a general national legislative assembly (Sense 3) rather than specifically the US Congress (Sense 1).

Therefore, my answer is 3

Sentence: Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their <t>government</t>, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

 The user wants me to identify which sense of "government" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their <t>government</t>, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

Let me analyze the sentence. The sentence mentions "confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government." Here, "government" is being compared to "Congress" as an institution that people can have confidence in. It seems to refer to the governing authority or the organization that governs.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit | examples=the government reduced taxes
   - This refers to the actual body/organization that governs, like the administration or the executive branch.

2. definition=the act of governing; exercising authority | examples=regulations for the governing of state prisons
   - This refers to the activity or process of governing.

3. definition=(government) the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed | examples=tyrannical government
   - This refers to the system or form of government (e.g., democracy, monarchy).

4. definition=the study of government of states and other political units
   - This refers to the academic study (political science).

In the sentence, "government" is used alongside "Congress" as something people have confidence in. This suggests it's referring to the institution/organization itself - the governing authority.

Let me check: when people say they have confidence in "the government," they usually mean the governing authority, the administration, or the executive branch as an institution. This matches sense 1.

Sense 2 would be about the act or process (e.g., "the government of the country was efficient").
Sense 3 would be about the system (e.g., "democratic government").
Sense 4 is clearly about the academic field.

In the context of polling data about confidence in institutions like Congress and "government," this is referring to the governing authority/organization. So sense 1.

Wait, let me double-check. The sentence mentions "their country's Congress and... their government." This is comparing two institutions. Congress is a legislative body. Government in this context likely means the executive branch or the governing administration. This fits sense 1: "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit."

Yes, sense 1 is correct.

Sentence: Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "year" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

 Let's look at the context of "year" here. The phrase is "last year", referring to the previous calendar year or 365-day period. It's comparing data from a current survey to data from the previous year.

 Now let's look at the definitions:

 1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
 This seems to refer to a calendar year or a 365-day period. "Last year" typically refers to the previous calendar year or the previous 365-day period.

 2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
 This refers to specific activity-based years like school year, fiscal year, etc. The sentence doesn't mention any specific activity like school or fiscal calendar. It's referring to "last year" in a general time sense.

 3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
 This is an astronomical definition. The sentence is clearly not talking about planetary revolutions.

 4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97
 This refers to a graduating class. The sentence is not talking about students graduating.

 So the correct answer is sense 1, which refers to a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days - i.e., a calendar year or annual period.

 The phrase "last year" means the year immediately preceding the current one, which is a period of approximately 365 days. This matches definition 1.

 Definition 2 could potentially fit if it's referring to a fiscal year or something, but the context suggests a general comparison over time ("last year" vs "2003"), which points to calendar years or general 365-day periods rather than activity-specific years. Also, the example for sense 2 is "a school year" which is clearly not what is meant here.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "case" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

 The word "cases" here refers to instances or occurrences of the situation being described (the confidence levels in Congress and government).

 Let me look at the definitions:
 1. an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
 2. a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded
 3. a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...
 4. the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case
 5. a portable container...
 6. a person requiring professional services...
 7. a person who is subjected to experimental...
 8. a problem requiring investigation...
 9. a statement of facts and reasons...
 10. the quantity contained in a case
 11. nouns or pronouns...
 12. a specific state of mind...
 13. a person of a specified kind...
 14. a specific size and style of type...
 15. an enveloping structure...
 16. the housing or outer covering...
 17. the enclosing frame...
 18. (printing) the receptacle...
 19. bed linen...
 20. a glass container...

 In the sentence, "in both cases" refers to the two instances/situations being compared: confidence in Congress and confidence in government. These are two occurrences or instances of the phenomenon being measured.

 Definition 1: "an occurrence of something" - This fits well. The sentence is talking about two occurrences (instances) of confidence measurements.

 Definition 2: "a special set of circumstances" - This could potentially fit, but "cases" here is referring to specific instances/examples rather than circumstances.

 Definition 4: "the actual state of things" - This is usually used in phrases like "that is not the case," which is different from the usage here.

 Looking at the example for definition 1: "it was a case of bad judgment" - this refers to an instance or occurrence.

 In the sentence, "in both cases" means "in both instances" or "in both occurrences." The sentence is comparing confidence levels in two different entities (Congress and government), and saying that in both instances/cases, the levels are the same as last year.

 So definition 1 seems to be the best fit: "an occurrence of something."

 Wait, let me double-check definition 2: "a special set of circumstances" with the example "in that event, the first possibility is excluded." This seems more like "in that case" meaning "under those circumstances."

 But in the given sentence, we're talking about two specific instances of survey results - confidence in Congress is one case, confidence in government is another case. These are occurrences or instances.

 Actually, looking more carefully at the sentence structure: "the same as last year in both cases" - this means the same as last year in both situations/instances.

 Definition 1: "an occurrence of something" - the example is "it was a case of bad judgment"
 Definition 2: "a special set of circumstances" - the example is "in that event, the first possibility is excluded"

 The phrase "in both cases" is referring back to the two percentages/measurements mentioned. Each measurement represents an instance or occurrence of the confidence survey.

 I think definition 1 is correct: "an occurrence of something."

 However, I should also consider definition 4: "the actual state of things" with example "that was not the case." But "in both cases" doesn't fit with definition 4.

 Let me reconsider definition 2. "A special set of circumstances" - could the confidence in Congress be considered a "set of circumstances"? Possibly, but "occurrence" (definition 1) seems more accurate for survey instances.

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (since these definitions look like they're from WordNet), sense 1 of "case" is typically the "instance, occurrence" sense.

 The sentence is saying: 34% had confidence in Congress and 45% in government, and these figures are the same as last year in both instances (cases).

 So the answer should be 1.

 But wait, let me look at the example for sense 2 again: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded." The word "case" often means "situation" or "circumstances" in phrases like "in that case."

 However, in "in both cases" referring to two different survey results, I think sense 1 (occurrence/instance) is still better.

 Let me think about this more carefully. The word "case" in "in both cases" is referring to the two items being discussed:
 1. Confidence in Congress
 2. Confidence in government

 These are two instances or examples of the general phenomenon of "confidence in institutions."

 Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" - fits well.
 Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" - could fit, as each represents a circumstance.
 Sense 4: "the actual state of things" - doesn't fit with the plural "cases" in this context.

 Actually, looking at the definitions more carefully:

 Sense 1 examples: "it was a case of bad judgment" - here "case" means an instance or example of something.
 Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" - example: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded" - wait, that example seems to be for "event" not "case." Let me look again.

 Actually, looking at the format, these look like WordNet synsets. Let me recall WordNet senses for "case":

 WordNet 3.0 senses for "case":
 1. an occurrence of something; "it was a case of bad judgment"
 2. a special set of circumstances; "in that event, the first possibility is excluded" (Note: "event" is used in the example, but this is for the word "case")
 3. (law) a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...
 4. the actual state of things; "that was not the case"
 5. a portable container...
 ...

 Actually, looking up WordNet case noun synsets:
 - case, instance, example (an occurrence of something)
 - event, case (a special set of circumstances)
 - case, lawsuit, suit, cause, causa (law)
 - case (the actual state of things)
 - case (a portable container)
 - case (a person requiring professional services)
 - subject, case, guinea pig (a person who is subjected to experimental...)
 - case (a problem requiring investigation)
 - case, argument (a statement of facts and reasons...)
 - case (quantity contained in a case)
 - case, grammatical case (nouns or pronouns...)
 - case (a specific state of mind)
 - character, eccentric, type, case (a person of a specified kind)
 - case, face, font, fount, typeface (type)
 - case (an enveloping structure)
 - shell, case, casing (housing)
 - casing, case (frame around door/window)
 - case, compositor's case (printing)
 - pillowcase, case (bed linen)
 - display case, case, vitrine (glass container)

 In the sentence: "in both cases" referring to the confidence in Congress and confidence in government.

 This is sense 1 or sense 2.

 Sense 1: case, instance, example - an occurrence of something
 Sense 2: event, case - a special set of circumstances

 "In both cases" here means "in both instances" or "as regards both of the situations mentioned."

 The key is whether it's an "occurrence" (sense 1) or "circumstances" (sense 2).

 Given that we have two specific data points (34% and 45%), and we're saying "in both cases" meaning "in both of these instances," sense 1 seems most appropriate.

 However, sense 2 "a special set of circumstances" with the gloss focusing on "in that event/case" type usage is also about particular situations.

 But looking at the example for sense 2: "in that event, the first possibility is excluded" - this is using "event" as a synonym. This sense is about "in that case" meaning "if that is true" or "under those circumstances."

 In our sentence, "in both cases" is not about hypothetical circumstances, but about actual instances/occurrences of the survey measurement.

 Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

 Actually, let me double-check by looking for similar examples.

 "In both cases" is a very common phrase. For example: "John and Mary failed the exam. In both cases, it was due to lack of study."

 Here, "cases" refers to the instances of failing.

 Or: "The drug was tested on men and women. In both cases, side effects were minimal."

 This refers to the two instances/groups.

 Sense 1: an occurrence of something.
 Sense 2: a special set of circumstances.

 I think for "in both cases" referring to previously mentioned items, it's sense 1.

 The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "decade" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A <t>decade</t> ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

Senses:
1. definition=a period of 10 years
2. definition=the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system

reasoning_content:
The user is asking me to identify which sense of the word "decade" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "A <t>decade</t> ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

 The two senses provided are:
 1. definition=a period of 10 years
 2. definition=the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system

 Let me analyze the sentence. The phrase "A decade ago" means "10 years ago" or "a period of 10 years ago." This is clearly referring to a period of time lasting 10 years.

 Sense 1 refers to "a period of 10 years" - this matches the usage in the sentence.

 Sense 2 refers to "the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one" - this would be the number 10 itself, not a period of time. While "decade" can refer to the number 10 in some contexts (like in geometry or mathematics), in the phrase "a decade ago," it is referring to a time period.

 In the sentence "A decade ago," the word is being used to mean a period of 10 years in the past.

 Therefore, the correct answer is sense 1.

 The user wants me to return only the number of the correct sense.

Which numbered sense of "woe" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A decade ago economic <t>woes</t> in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

Senses:
1. definition=misery resulting from affliction
2. definition=intense mournfulness

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "woe" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "A decade ago economic <t>woes</t> in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

The two senses provided are:
1. definition=misery resulting from affliction
2. definition=intense mournfulness

Let me analyze the sentence. The word "woes" is used in the context of "economic woes" - this refers to economic problems, difficulties, or troubles.

Looking at the definitions:
1. "misery resulting from affliction" - This could fit economic troubles, as economic problems can cause misery and affliction.
2. "intense mournfulness" - This is more about grief, sadness, mourning - typically emotional states related to loss or death.

"Economic woes" is a common collocation referring to economic difficulties, problems, or hardships. This aligns more with sense 1 (misery resulting from affliction/trouble) rather than sense 2 (mournfulness/grief).

Sense 1 is the broader meaning of woe as suffering, distress, or misfortune.
Sense 2 is specifically about grief and mourning.

In the context of economics, "woes" means problems, difficulties, or misfortunes - which matches sense 1 better.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Woe can mean: grievous distress, affliction, or trouble (Sense 1 fits this)
- Woe can also mean: deep sorrow or grief (Sense 2 fits this)

"Economic woes" refers to economic troubles/problems, not economic grief/sadness. So it should be sense 1.

Wait, let me reconsider the exact wording of the senses:
1. misery resulting from affliction
2. intense mournfulness

"Economic woes" = economic problems/troubles. These cause misery/distress. So sense 1.

Sense 2 is about the feeling of grief/mourning itself, not the troubles that cause misery.

So the answer should be 1.

Which numbered sense of "support" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy.

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together
2. definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party
3. definition=something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples=the policy found little public support
4. definition=a military operation (often involving new supplies of men and materiel) to strengthen a military force or aid in the performance of its mission | examples=they called for artillery support
5. definition=documentary validation | examples=his documentation of the results was excellent
6. definition=the financial means whereby one lives | examples=each child was expected to pay for their keep
7. definition=supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation | examples=the statue stood on a marble support
8. definition=the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening | examples=he leaned against the wall for support
9. definition=a musical part (vocal or instrumental) that supports or provides background for other musical parts
10. definition=any device that bears the weight of another thing | examples=there was no place to attach supports for a shelf
11. definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "support" is used in the sentence: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "economic woes" (problems) in Latin America
 - "undermined" (weakened/destroyed gradually)
 - "support for democracy" - this refers to the backing, approval, or endorsement of democracy as a political system

 Now let's look at the definitions:

 1. "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" - This is about financial maintenance (like supporting a family). Not quite right here.

 2. "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - This could work. It involves helping a cause (democracy).

 3. "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - This mentions "immaterial assistance" and specifically mentions "cause" and "public support." The example is "the policy found little public support." This seems very close to "support for democracy."

 4. Military operation - clearly not this.

 5. Documentary validation - no.

 6. Financial means whereby one lives - no, that's about livelihood.

 7. Supporting structure (physical) - no, this is metaphorical.

 8. Act of bearing weight (physical) - no.

 9. Musical part - no.

 10. Device bearing weight - physical, no.

 11. Financial resources for a project - "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - this is about funding specific projects, not general political backing.

 Between 2 and 3:
 - Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - focuses on the action of aiding.
 - Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - focuses on the assistance itself, and specifically mentions it can be for a "cause" and mentions "public support."

 The phrase "support for democracy" refers to the backing or endorsement that people give to the democratic system. It's about the sentiment or approval (immaterial) rather than active aid or financial resources.

 Sense 3's example: "the policy found little public support" - this is very similar to "support for democracy."

 Sense 2's example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this is also similar, referring to political backing.

 But looking more carefully:
 - Sense 2: "aiding the cause..." - this could be the act of supporting.
 - Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance..." - this is the support itself as a thing.

 Actually, looking at the sentence: "undermined support for democracy" - the word "support" here is a noun referring to the backing or approval that exists for democracy.

 Sense 3 explicitly mentions "immaterial assistance" and "cause" - democracy is a cause/political system. The example "the policy found little public support" matches the structure "support for [cause/policy]."

 Sense 2 is "aiding the cause..." which is more active.

 However, I should look at whether "support for democracy" fits better with sense 2 or 3.

 Sense 2 examples: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this is about political backing.
 Sense 3 examples: "the policy found little public support" - this is about public approval/backing.

 "Support for democracy" in the context of Latin American economic woes suggests that when the economy is bad, people lose faith in or backing for democratic institutions. This is similar to "public support" in sense 3.

 But let me check sense 2 again: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - democracy is a cause/policy.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Support can mean "approval, encouragement, or backing"

 Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
 - This fits well because it's immaterial (not financial or physical) assistance for the cause of democracy.

 Sense 11 is financial resources for a project - not this.
 Sense 1 is providing necessities - not this.

 Between 2 and 3, both seem possible, but sense 3 specifically mentions "cause" and the example "public support" which aligns with "support for democracy" as a general concept of public backing.

 Actually, looking at the exact wording:
 Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - this is the act or process of aiding.
 Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance..." - this is the thing that provides assistance (the support itself).

 In "undermined support", "support" is the object being undermined - it's the backing itself. So sense 3 which defines it as "something providing..." fits better as a noun referring to the assistance itself.

 Also, the example in sense 3: "the policy found little public support" - "public support" is very similar to "support for democracy."

 I think the answer is 3.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 2 vs 3 one more time.

 Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - this could be interpreted as the support being the aiding action.
 Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - here "support" means the backing/aid from the party.

 Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - this is more abstract.
 Example: "the policy found little public support" - here support is what the public gives.

 Actually, "support for democracy" means the backing/approval given to democracy.

 Let me check if there's a clearer distinction. In WordNet (which these definitions look like they're from), the senses are:

 1. support - the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
 2. support, aid, assistance, help - a resource; "visual aids in teaching"
    Wait, looking at the user's list:
    2. definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party

 This looks like it might be:
 2. support - aiding the cause...
 3. support - something providing immaterial assistance...

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet senses for "support" (noun):

 From WordNet 3.0:
 1. support - the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities (e.g., his support kept the family together)
 2. support - aiding the cause or policy or interests of; "the president no longer has the support of his own party"; "they developed a scheme of mutual support"
 3. support - 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"
 ...

 So yes, these are WordNet definitions.

 In the sentence: "undermined support for democracy"

 If we look at WordNet sense 3, the example is "the policy found little public support" which is almost exactly parallel to "support for democracy" (where democracy is like the policy/cause).

 Sense 2 is more about actively aiding a cause, while sense 3 is about the immaterial backing/approval.

 Given the context of "economic woes... undermined support", this refers to the decline in public approval or backing for democracy as a system, not necessarily active aid. When economies do poorly, people lose faith in democracy (immaterial support).

 Therefore, the answer should be 3.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "country" is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."

The word "countries" here refers to political entities/nations that experienced recession and recovery. Let's look at the senses:

1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

In the sentence, "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession" - this refers to the nations as political/economic entities. The countries (as states/governments/organized bodies) suffered recession.

Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this fits best because it refers to the nation-state as a political entity that can experience recession and recovery.

Sense 2 focuses on territory/land. While Latin American countries do occupy territory, the sentence is talking about them suffering recession, which is something that happens to economies/political entities, not just land.

Sense 3 focuses on the people. While people suffer, the sentence says "countries suffered... and have enjoyed a strong recovery" which is more commonly used for the nation as a whole/economic entity.

Sense 4 is rural areas, clearly wrong.

Sense 5 is a region, but Latin American countries are specific nations, not indefinite regions.

So the answer should be 1.

Wait, let me double-check. In WordNet or similar lexicographic resources, sense 1 is often "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is the "nation, country, state" sense. The example given is "the state has elected a new president."

In the sentence, "Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession" - this treats countries as economic/political units. This aligns with sense 1.

Actually, looking at typical dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1: nation, state, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic (a politically organized body of people under a single government)
- Sense 2: country, state, land (the territory occupied by a nation)
- Sense 3: nation, land, country (the people who live in a nation or country)

The sentence is about economic performance (recession/recovery). This is typically attributed to the political/economic entity (the state/nation), so sense 1 is correct.

I should return only the number.

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "recession" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief <t>recession</t> and have enjoyed a strong recovery."

Key context clues:
- "world financial crisis"
- "Latin American countries suffered"
- "brief recession"
- "strong recovery"

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=the state of the economy declines; a widespread decline in the GDP and employment and trade lasting from six months to a year
- This is the economic definition of recession. The context mentions "financial crisis," "countries suffered," and "recovery" - all economic terms. This fits perfectly.

2. definition=a small concavity
- This is a physical/geological meaning (like a recess or indentation). Doesn't fit the financial context.

3. definition=the withdrawal of the clergy and choir from the chancel to the vestry at the end of a church service
- This is an ecclesiastical/religious meaning. Doesn't fit the financial/economic context.

4. definition=the act of ceding back
- This is about giving back territory or rights. Doesn't fit.

5. definition=the act of becoming more distant
- This is about physical distance or recession (moving away). Doesn't fit the economic context.

The sentence is clearly talking about an economic recession - a period of economic decline. The words "financial crisis," "countries suffered," and "recovery" all point to the economic definition.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "recovery" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong <t>recovery</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=return to an original state | examples=the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid
2. definition=gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
3. definition=the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "recovery" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong <t>recovery</t>."

Context: This is about Latin American countries experiencing a recession and then a recovery. In economic terms, a "recovery" refers to the period of increasing business activity after a recession or depression - essentially returning to a previous state of economic health/growth.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=return to an original state | examples=the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid
2. definition=gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
3. definition=the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)

Sense 1 mentions "return to an original state" and gives an example about a forest recovering after a fire. This seems like it could fit economic recovery - returning to the previous state of economic growth/health.

Sense 2 is specifically about healing from sickness or injury. While economies are sometimes metaphorically described as "sick" or "healthy," this definition seems more literal about physical health.

Sense 3 is about regaining or saving something lost. This could potentially apply to economic recovery, but let's think more carefully.

In the context of the sentence: "suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery" - this is clearly economic terminology. An economic recovery is when an economy returns to its previous level of activity/growth after a downturn (recession).

Sense 1 "return to an original state" fits best here. The economy is returning to its previous state (before the recession).

Sense 3 "the act of regaining or saving something lost" - while economies might "lose" GDP or growth, the term "recovery" in economics is more about the process of returning to the previous state, not necessarily "regaining" something physical or specific that was lost.

Actually, looking at the definitions again:
- Sense 1: return to an original state
- Sense 3: the act of regaining or saving something lost

In economics, a recovery is the return to the previous state of economic health after a recession. This aligns with Sense 1.

However, I should be careful. Let me think about whether economic recovery is more like Sense 1 or Sense 3.

Sense 1 example: "the recovery of the forest after the fire" - this is about an ecosystem returning to its previous state.
Sense 3: "regaining or saving something lost" - this seems more like recovering a stolen item, or recovering losses.

In the sentence, countries "suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery." The recovery here is the economic recovery - the return to economic growth and stability. This is analogous to the forest recovering after a fire.

Sense 2 is clearly about health/medical recovery.

So the answer should be 1.

Wait, let me double-check. Is there any chance this is Sense 3?

Sense 3 examples might include things like "the recovery of the stolen painting" or "debt recovery" - getting back something that was lost or taken.

In economics, "recovery" can sometimes refer to recovering losses, but the primary meaning of "economic recovery" is the phase of the business cycle where the economy is returning to its normal level of activity after a recession.

The example for Sense 1 is "the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid" - this is very similar to an economy recovering after a crisis/recession.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Recovery can mean: 1) return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength. 2) the action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost. 3) the process of removing or extracting an energy source or industrial chemical for use, reuse, or waste treatment.

But the specific senses provided are:
1. return to an original state
2. gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
3. the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)

Sense 2 is clearly medical/physical healing.
Sense 3 is about regaining possession of something specific that was lost.
Sense 1 is about returning to an original state.

Economic recovery is about the economy returning to its previous state (growth, stability), not about regaining a specific lost object. So Sense 1 fits best.

The answer is 1.

Senses:
1. definition=a guarantee of professional or financial security
2. definition=a large strong net to catch circus acrobats who fall or jump from a trapeze

The sentence uses "social safety net" which refers to government programs and policies that provide financial or social support to people in need (like the poor). This aligns with sense 1: "a guarantee of professional or financial security" (or more broadly, social/financial security systems).

Sense 2 is the literal physical net used in circuses.
