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

Sentence: "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise."

Let me analyze the sentence:
- "Support for democracy" - this refers to people supporting/backing the concept or cause of democracy
- "continues to edge up" - implies increasing levels of approval or backing
- "as does backing" - the word "backing" here is synonymous with "support", confirming this is about approval/endorsement

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" - This is about financial/material maintenance (like supporting a family). Doesn't fit.

2. "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - This could work. It's about aiding a cause (democracy).

3. "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - This mentions "immaterial assistance to a... cause". Democracy is a cause. "Immaterial" suggests non-physical help, like endorsement or approval.

4. "a military operation..." - No, clearly not military.

5. "documentary validation" - No.

6. "the financial means whereby one lives" - No, this is about livelihood/income.

7. "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation" - Physical support, not applicable.

8. "the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening" - Physical bearing of weight.

9. "a musical part..." - Not musical.

10. "any device that bears the weight..." - Physical device.

11. "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - Financial funding for a project.

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 abstract concept of support/approval itself

In the sentence "Support for democracy... continues to edge up", "support" is used as a noun referring to the level of approval or backing that people give to democracy. It's not referring to the physical act of aiding, but rather to the immaterial assistance/approval itself.

Also, looking at the examples:
- Sense 2 example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this is similar to our sentence.
- Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support" - this is also very similar to our sentence.

Wait, let me look more carefully at the definitions.

Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - the definition uses "aiding" (gerund), suggesting the act or activity of helping.

Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - this defines support as something (a noun) that provides immaterial assistance.

In the sentence "Support for democracy... continues to edge up", support is a noun subject that is increasing. It's referring to the level of backing/approval. This aligns with sense 3's example: "the policy found little public support" - where "support" is the thing that the policy found (or didn't find).

Sense 2's example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - here "support" is also a noun that the president has.

But let me look at the subtle differences. Sense 2 says "aiding the cause..." which puts emphasis on the active help. Sense 3 says "something providing immaterial assistance..." which emphasizes the backing/approval itself.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this seems to be based on), sense 2 is often "aid, assist, assistance, help" - the act of helping. Sense 3 is often "support" as in backing, endorsement.

But in this specific list:
- Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - suggests active help/intervention
- Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - suggests the backing itself

The phrase "Support for democracy" combined with "continues to edge up" suggests popularity, approval, public opinion - which is immaterial assistance/endorsement rather than active material aid.

Also, the parallel with "backing" in the sentence ("as does backing") - "backing" here means endorsement/support in an abstract sense, not financial or physical support.

Between sense 2 and 3, sense 3 seems more appropriate because:
1. It explicitly mentions "cause" which matches "democracy" (a cause/system)
2. It mentions "immaterial assistance" which fits with "backing" and "edge up" (you can't edge up physical support, but you can edge up levels of approval)
3. The example "the policy found little public support" is almost identical in structure/meaning to "Support for democracy... continues to edge up"

Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this could also fit. But "support" here could mean loyalty, votes, endorsement.

Let me reconsider. The word "backing" usually means moral or political support, endorsement. This maps best to sense 3.

Also, sense 11 is "financial resources" which is not right here (no mention of money).

Sense 1 is supplying money/necessities.

So it's between 2 and 3. Sense 3 mentions "immaterial assistance" which distinguishes it from material/financial support. Since the sentence contrasts with "backing" and mentions democracy (an abstract concept), and "edge up" suggests increasing levels of endorsement rather than increasing amounts of aid, sense 3 is the best fit.

Actually, let me check if there's a standard WordNet classification here. This looks like WordNet senses.

WordNet for "support":

Sense 1: aiding the cause or policy or interests of - "the president no longer had the support of his own party"
Sense 2: something providing immaterial assistance - "his faith was all the support he needed", "the policy found little public support"
Sense 3: backing, championship, patronage - "they gave him no financial support"
Wait, I might be misremembering.

Actually, looking at the provided list carefully:

Sense 1: supplying with money or necessities (like family support)
Sense 2: aiding the cause (political support)
Sense 3: immaterial assistance (moral/public support)
Sense 4: military operation
Sense 5: documentary validation
Sense 6: financial means (livelihood)
Sense 7: supporting structure (physical)
Sense 8: act of bearing weight (physical)
Sense 9: musical part
Sense 10: device bearing weight
Sense 11: financial resources for a project

In the sentence: "Support for democracy... continues to edge up"

"Support for democracy" is public opinion/endorsement of democracy as a political system.

Sense 2 example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this is similar, loss of backing from a group.

Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support" - this is also similar, policy + public support.

The key difference between 2 and 3 in this list seems to be whether it's active aid (2) or the backing/endorsement itself (3).

Given "edge up" and "backing", I think sense 3 is correct. "Public support" is often sense 3.

But actually, looking at the exact wording:
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - this is the act of helping.
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" - this is the thing that helps.

In the sentence, "Support" is the subject that's edging up. It's the abstract noun, so sense 3 fits better as it defines "support" as "something" (a noun) providing assistance.

Also, sense 2's definition starts with "aiding" (verb form as noun/gerund), suggesting the action, while the sentence treats support as a quantity that can increase (edge up).

So I'll go with 3.

Wait, but I should double-check sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - "Support for the experiment" - could "Support for democracy" be financial? No, because "democracy" isn't a project in this context, and "edge up" with "backing" suggests political support, not funding.

Sense 2 vs 3: In many dictionaries, sense 2 would be the specific political backing, while sense 3 is more general moral/public support. Given the example for sense 3 explicitly mentions "public support" for a "policy", and the sentence mentions "democracy" with "backing", sense 3 is the strongest match.

Final check: The user wants ONLY the number. So I should return just "3".

Sentence: Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does <t>backing</t> for private enterprise.

1. definition=the act of providing approval and support | examples=his vigorous backing of the conservatives got him in trouble with progressives

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

 Sentence: "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does <t>backing</t> for private enterprise."

 The word "backing" is marked with <t></t> tags.

 Let's look at the three senses:

 1. "the act of providing approval and support" - example: "his vigorous backing of the conservatives got him in trouble with progressives"
 2. "something forming a back that is added for strengthening" - this seems to be a physical/material sense, like the backing of a rug or a picture frame
 3. "financial resources provided to make some project possible" - example: "the foundation provided support for the experiment"

 Now let's analyze the sentence:
 "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise."

 The sentence is talking about "support for democracy" and "backing for private enterprise" in parallel. The word "as does" indicates a parallel structure. So "backing" here is being used similarly to "support" - meaning approval and support, not physical backing or financial resources specifically.

 Looking at sense 1: "the act of providing approval and support" - this matches the context. The sentence is talking about people supporting or approving of private enterprise, similar to how they support democracy.

 Looking at sense 2: This is about physical backing (like a backing on a chair or carpet). This doesn't fit the context of supporting private enterprise in a political/social sense.

 Looking at sense 3: This is specifically about financial resources. While private enterprise involves money, the parallel with "support for democracy" suggests a more general approval/support rather than specifically financial backing. Also, the example for sense 3 mentions "financial resources provided to make some project possible" which is more specific than what's implied here. The sentence seems to be about general public or political support/approval, not necessarily funding.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

 Wait, let me reconsider. Could it be sense 3? "backing for private enterprise" could mean financial backing. But the parallel with "Support for democracy" suggests it's the same type of support. You don't typically provide "financial resources" to democracy, but you provide support/approval. So sense 1 seems more appropriate.

 Also, looking at the example for sense 1: "his vigorous backing of the conservatives" - this is political support, similar to "backing for private enterprise" in the given sentence.

 So the answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Crime</t> has become a bigger worry than unemployment.

Senses:
1. definition=(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act | examples=a long record of crimes
2. definition=an evil act not necessarily punishable by law | examples=crimes of the heart

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "crime" is used in the given sentence: "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment"
 - This is talking about crime as a general concept or phenomenon that people worry about
 - It's being compared to unemployment as a societal issue

 Now let's look at the two senses provided:

 Sense 1: "(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act" with example "a long record of crimes"
 - This refers to specific acts that violate criminal law
 - The example "a long record of crimes" suggests individual criminal acts

 Sense 2: "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law" with example "crimes of the heart"
 - This is a more metaphorical or broader sense
 - "Crimes of the heart" refers to moral wrongs, not necessarily legal crimes

 In the sentence "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment", the word "Crime" is being used as a mass noun or general concept referring to criminal activity in society. This aligns with Sense 1, which is the standard legal definition of crime as acts punishable by law.

 When people talk about "crime" as a societal problem (like in comparison to unemployment), they are referring to criminal acts - things like theft, violence, etc. that are punishable by law. This is Sense 1.

 Sense 2 is more poetic or metaphorical (like "crimes against humanity" in a non-legal context, or "crimes of passion" in a moral sense). But in the context of being a "worry" compared to "unemployment", this is clearly referring to the legal concept of crime - criminal activity that affects society.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Crime has become a bigger <t>worry</t> than unemployment.

Senses:
1. definition=something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness | examples=New York traffic is a constant concern
2. definition=a strong feeling of anxiety | examples=his worry over the prospect of being fired

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "worry" is used in the sentence: "Crime has become a bigger <t>worry</t> than unemployment."

 I have two senses to choose from:
 1. "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" with example "New York traffic is a constant concern"
 2. "a strong feeling of anxiety" with example "his worry over the prospect of being fired"

 Let me analyze the sentence structure:
 "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment."

 Here, "worry" is the subject complement (predicate nominative) describing what crime has become. Crime is being compared to unemployment as things that can be "bigger worries."

 The question is: Is "worry" here referring to:
 - The feeling of anxiety (sense 2), or
 - The thing that causes anxiety (sense 1)?

 In the sentence "Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment," we are saying that crime itself is a worry - meaning crime is something that causes anxiety for people. It's not saying that crime has become a feeling of anxiety.

 Compare with:
 - "Crime is a worry" = Crime is something that worries people (source of anxiety) → Sense 1
 - "His worry about crime" = The feeling he has about crime → Sense 2

 In the given sentence, "worry" refers to the thing that causes anxiety (crime itself is the source of anxiety), not the feeling itself.

 Therefore, this matches sense 1: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness"

 The example given for sense 1 is "New York traffic is a constant concern" - note that "concern" here is synonymous with "worry" in this context, and traffic is the thing causing the anxiety, just like crime in our sentence.

 So the answer should be 1.

 Analysis:
 - The sentence mentions "Brazil" being "more influential than the United States" across a region.
 - Brazil is being compared to the United States in terms of influence.
 - This clearly refers to the country Brazil, not the nut (which is usually spelled "brazil nut" or refers to the nut itself, not typically used in geopolitical contexts comparing influence with countries).
 - Sense 1 describes Brazil as a country (Latin American country, Portuguese speaking, etc.).
 - Sense 2 describes a nut.

 Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "united_states" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "And Brazil is seen as more influential than the <t>United States</t> across much of the region."

The two senses provided are:
1. North American republic containing 50 states... (the country itself)
2. the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States (the government)

In the sentence, "United States" is being compared to Brazil in terms of influence across a region. Brazil is a country, so it makes sense to compare it to another country (the United States as a nation/state), not specifically to the government branches of the United States.

The phrase "United States" in this context refers to the country as a whole entity, not specifically the government branches. When we say "Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States," we are comparing the country Brazil to the country United States.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Sense 2 refers specifically to the government branches (federal government), which would be a different usage, like "The United States passed a law" or referring to the government structure itself.

So the answer should be: 1

Sentence: Those are some of the <t>findings</t> of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation | examples=the determination of molecular structures
2. definition=the decision of a court on issues of fact or law
3. definition=something that is found | examples=the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "finding" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "Those are some of the <t>findings</t> of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist."

Senses:
1. definition=the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation | examples=the determination of molecular structures
2. definition=the decision of a court on issues of fact or law
3. definition=something that is found | examples=the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner

Let me analyze the sentence. The word "findings" here refers to the results of a poll. It's talking about what the poll discovered or found out.

Sense 1 is about the act of determining (the process). But in the sentence, "findings" are the results themselves, not the act of researching. Wait, let me look again.

Actually, sense 1 says "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation". That's the process/action.

Sense 3 says "something that is found" - this refers to the results or things discovered.

In the sentence: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll..." - "Those" refers to the results/data/outcomes of the poll. These are things that were found by the poll.

Wait, let me reconsider sense 1. The example is "the determination of molecular structures". That's a process noun. But "findings" in the sentence is plural and refers to specific results.

Sense 3 example: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner" - here "findings" refers to things that were found (discovered) during an examination.

In the poll sentence, the "findings" are the results of the poll - things that were discovered by the poll. This matches sense 3: "something that is found".

But wait, sense 1 could also fit if we think of findings as the outcome of research. Let me look more carefully.

Sense 1: "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation" - this is the act/process itself. Example: "the determination of molecular structures". If it were "the finding of the poll" meaning the act of finding out, maybe. But "findings" plural usually refers to results.

Sense 3: "something that is found" - this is the result/object. Example given is about medical findings.

In the context of a poll, "findings" means the results or discoveries made by the poll. This aligns with sense 3.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Finding (singular) can mean a decision or verdict (sense 2)
- Findings (plural) often means results of an investigation or research
- Finding can also mean the act of discovering

But sense 1 is specifically "the act of determining" - a process noun.
Sense 3 is "something that is found" - a result noun.

The sentence says "Those are some of the findings" - "Those" points to specific things (results), not an act. So sense 3 is correct.

Wait, I should double-check. Could sense 1 apply? "The act of determining..." - no, the sentence isn't talking about the act of the poll determining something. It's talking about the results.

Sense 2 is clearly legal, not applicable here.

So the answer should be 3.

But let me reconsider if there's any ambiguity. In some contexts, "findings" in research could be sense 1? No, sense 1 explicitly says "the act of determining" which is synonymous with "determination". The example "the determination of molecular structures" shows it's about the process/activity. But "findings of the poll" refers to the discovered facts themselves.

Yes, definitely sense 3.

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

 Sentence: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro <t>poll</t> taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist."

 The context suggests this is about a survey or opinion poll conducted by Latinobarómetro (which is a well-known public opinion survey organization in Latin America).

 Let's look at the senses:
 1. definition=an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people
 2. definition=the top of the head
 3. definition=the part of the head between the ears
 4. definition=a tame parrot
 5. definition=the counting of votes (as in an election)

 The sentence mentions "findings" and "taken in 18 countries" and is associated with Latinobarómetro, which is an organization that conducts public opinion surveys. This clearly matches sense 1: an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people.

 Sense 5 (counting of votes) might seem plausible, but Latinobarómetro is specifically a public opinion research organization, not an election authority. Also, the phrase "findings of the latest... poll" suggests survey results, not election results, though "poll" can refer to elections. However, given the context of Latinobarómetro and "findings," this is definitely a public opinion survey.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 <t>countries</t> and published exclusively by The Economist."

The word "countries" here refers to political entities where the poll was conducted. Latinobarómetro is a survey that polls people in Latin American nations. So we're talking about 18 different nations/political entities.

Let me 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

Now, in the sentence "taken in 18 countries", this refers to 18 separate political entities or nations.

Sense 1 focuses on the political organization/government aspect: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
Sense 2 focuses on the territory: "the territory occupied by a nation"
Sense 3 focuses on the people: "the people who live in a nation or country"

When we say a poll was taken in 18 countries, we mean it was conducted in 18 different nation-states or political entities. This aligns most closely with sense 1 (politically organized body) or possibly sense 2 (territory).

However, looking at the example for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - this emphasizes the political/governmental aspect.
Looking at sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth" - this emphasizes the physical territory.

When conducting a poll "in 18 countries", we're referring to the political jurisdictions - the nation-states as political entities. This is most consistent with sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government."

But let me double-check. WordNet (which these definitions seem to come from) has specific sense distinctions:

Sense 1 (nation_1): "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
Sense 2 (country_2): "the territory occupied by a nation"
Sense 3 (country_3): "the people who live in a nation or country"

Actually, looking at standard WordNet definitions:
- Country (sense 1): nation - a politically organized body of people under a single government
- Country (sense 2): land, state - the territory occupied by a nation
- Country (sense 3): nation, land - the people who live in a nation or country
- Country (sense 4): rural area - an area outside of cities and towns
- Country (sense 5): area - a particular geographical region...

In the context "taken in 18 countries", this refers to sovereign states or nations as political entities. When we count countries like "18 countries", we are counting political units/nation-states.

This would be sense 1.

But wait, let me reconsider. Sometimes "country" in the sense of territory (sense 2) can also fit. However, given the example for sense 1 mentions "the state has elected a new president" (emphasizing the political entity), and polls are typically conducted by governments or across political jurisdictions, sense 1 seems best.

Actually, looking more carefully: "taken in 18 countries" - this means the survey was conducted across 18 different nation-states. This is referring to the political entities.

Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is the nation-state sense.
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - this emphasizes the land itself.

When we conduct a poll in a country, we mean within the jurisdiction/borders of that political entity. But the counting of "18 countries" suggests 18 separate political entities.

I think the answer is 1.

But let me also consider if it could be sense 2. "The territory occupied by a nation" - if we say "in 18 countries", we could mean "within the territories of 18 nations." However, the definition of sense 2 focuses on the land/territory aspect, whereas sense 1 focuses on the political organization.

Given that Latinobarómetro polls are conducted in different nation-states (political entities), and the definition mentions "politically organized body of people under a single government," sense 1 is the best fit.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this is about the people.
Sense 4 is clearly rural areas.
Sense 5 is about geographical regions.

So it's between 1 and 2.

In standard semantic tagging tasks (like SemCor or similar), when "country" refers to a sovereign state or nation in a political context, it's usually sense 1.

The phrase "18 countries" is counting political entities. This is sense 1.

Therefore, the answer should be: 1

Sentence: Because the <t>poll</t> has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region.

Senses:
1. definition=an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people
2. definition=the top of the head
3. definition=the part of the head between the ears
4. definition=a tame parrot
5. definition=the counting of votes (as in an election)

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

Sentence: "Because the <t>poll</t> has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region."

Looking at the context:
- "has been taken regularly" suggests it's something that is conducted/implemented regularly
- "tracks changes in attitude" - this is key. It measures attitudes/opinions over time
- "across the region" - geographic scope

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" - This fits perfectly. Polls (surveys) track attitudes/opinions over time.

2. "the top of the head" - This is anatomical. Doesn't fit with "tracks changes in attitude."

3. "the part of the head between the ears" - Also anatomical (usually of animals like cattle or horses). Doesn't fit.

4. "a tame parrot" - Obscure meaning, doesn't fit the context at all.

5. "the counting of votes (as in an election)" - This is about voting/elections. While elections happen regularly, they don't typically "track changes in attitude across the region" in the way described. Election polls count votes, but the phrase "tracks changes in attitude" strongly suggests opinion polling, not vote counting. Also, "taken regularly since 1995" suggests a recurring survey rather than elections (which happen on specific schedules but the sentence structure suggests a continuous tracking mechanism).

Sense 1 is the correct answer. The sentence is clearly referring to an opinion poll/survey that tracks attitudes.

The answer should be just the number: 1

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

Sentence: Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks <t>changes</t> in attitude across the region.

Senses:
1. definition=an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another | examples=the change was intended to increase sales
2. definition=a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event | examples=he attributed the change to their marriage
3. definition=the action of changing something | examples=the change of government had no impact on the economy
4. definition=the result of alteration or modification | examples=there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs
5. definition=the balance of money received when the amount you tender is greater than the amount due | examples=I paid with a twenty and pocketed the change
6. definition=a thing that is different | examples=he inspected several changes before selecting one
7. definition=a different or fresh set of clothes | examples=she brought a change in her overnight bag
8. definition=coins of small denomination regarded collectively | examples=he had a pocketful of change
9. definition=money received in return for its equivalent in a larger denomination or a different currency | examples=he got change for a twenty and used it to pay the taxi driver
10. definition=a difference that is usually pleasant | examples=he goes to France for variety

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

 Sentence: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks <t>changes</t> in attitude across the region."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - The poll tracks changes in attitude across the region
 - It implies monitoring how attitudes have shifted or altered over time (since 1995)
 - The "changes" here refer to differences or alterations in attitude states over time

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"
    - This focuses on the event of changing, like a transition event.
    - Example: "the change was intended to increase sales" - this sounds like a specific change action/event

 2. "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event"
    - This focuses on the difference between states.
    - Example: "he attributed the change to their marriage" - this refers to the difference observed.

 3. "the action of changing something"
    - This is about the act/process of making a change.
    - Example: "the change of government" - this is the act of changing government.

 4. "the result of alteration or modification"
    - This is about the outcome/result.
    - Example: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" - observable differences/results.

 5. Money/change - coins/balance
 6. "a thing that is different" - seems like substituting one thing for another?
 7. Clothes
 8. Coins collectively
 9. Money exchange
 10. "a difference that is usually pleasant" - variety

 Looking at the sentence "tracks changes in attitude":
 - It means tracking how attitudes have shifted or been modified over time
 - It's tracking the differences or alterations in attitudes across time/region

 Between senses 1, 2, 3, and 4:
 - Sense 1: Event of passing from one state to another
 - Sense 2: Relational difference between states (before and after)
 - Sense 3: Action of changing
 - Sense 4: Result of alteration

 The sentence seems to be tracking the differences or shifts in attitudes over time. When a poll tracks changes, it's tracking how attitudes have differed or shifted from previous measurements.

 Sense 2 says "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" - this fits well with tracking differences in attitude over time (since 1995).

 Sense 4 says "the result of alteration or modification" - this could also fit, as the changes in attitude are results of whatever caused them.

 But let's look more carefully:

 In the context of tracking something over time (since 1995), we're looking at differences between states at different time points.

 Sense 2 example: "he attributed the change to their marriage" - this refers to the difference between the state before marriage and after.

 Sense 4 example: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" - refers to observable differences/modifications.

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (since these definitions look like WordNet definitions):

 WordNet senses for "change":
 1. (n) change, alteration, modification (an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another) "the change was intended to increase sales"; "this storm is certainly a change for the worse"; "the neighborhood had undergone few modifications since his last visit years ago"
 2. (n) change (a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event) "he attributed the change to their marriage"
 3. (n) change (the action of changing something) "the change of government had no impact on the economy"
 4. (n) change (the result of alteration or modification) "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs"; "they had made changes in the wording of the law"
 5. (n) change (the balance of money...)
 ...

 In the sentence "it tracks changes in attitude", the word "changes" refers to the differences or shifts in attitude that have occurred over time.

 Comparing sense 1 vs sense 2 vs sense 4:

 Sense 1 focuses on the event of transition.
 Sense 2 focuses on the relational difference.
 Sense 4 focuses on the result.

 When we track changes in a poll, we're tracking the differences between attitudes at time A and time B. This aligns with sense 2: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" (or in this case, over time).

 Sense 4 "the result of alteration or modification" could work, but it's more about the end state after change has occurred, whereas sense 2 emphasizes the difference relationship between states.

 Also, sense 1 "event that occurs when something passes..." - this treats change as an event, but tracking "changes" in attitude suggests tracking multiple instances or the pattern of differences, not just events.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales" - this is ambiguous between the event and the modification.

 But for polls tracking changes, it's definitely tracking the differences (how attitudes differ from previous measurements).

 I think sense 2 is the best fit: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event"

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification" - "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs"

 If we say "changes in attitude", we could be referring to the results of attitude modifications...

 But typically in polling contexts, "tracking changes" means tracking how attitudes have shifted, i.e., the differences between current and past attitudes.

 Let me check if there's any other clue. The word "tracks" suggests following or monitoring over time. When you track changes, you're monitoring differences over time.

 Sense 2 definition: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event"
 This emphasizes the relationship/difference aspect.

 The example for sense 2: "he attributed the change to their marriage" - here "the change" refers to the difference in state (before vs after marriage).

 In "tracks changes in attitude", we're tracking how attitudes differ from previous measurements - i.e., the relational differences.

 However, sense 4 "the result of alteration or modification" with example "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" - this also seems plausible because the changes in attitude could be seen as results of alterations.

 But I think sense 2 is more accurate because:
 1. The phrase "changes in X" often maps to sense 2 or 4
 2. In polling/data tracking contexts, "change" usually refers to the difference between measurements (delta)
 3. The word "relational" in sense 2 suggests a comparison between states, which fits "tracking" over time since 1995

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet mapping:
 - Sense 2: change#n#2 - "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event"
 - Sense 4: change#n#4 - "the result of alteration or modification"

 If I look at usage: "changes in attitude" - this is similar to "changes in the lining" (sense 4 example) or "changes in the wording" (sense 4 example).

 But the sense 2 example is "he attributed the change to their marriage" which is more abstract - the difference in state.

 Let me think about the specific wording again. The poll tracks changes in attitude. This means it tracks how attitudes have changed over time.

 If we consider the wordnet definitions carefully:
 Sense 1: the event of occurring when something passes...
 Sense 2: the relational difference...
 Sense 3: the action...
 Sense 4: the result...

 In "tracks changes", the changes are the things being tracked. What is being tracked? The differences in attitude between time periods.

 I found a similar example online or in corpora: "track changes in public opinion" - this usually maps to sense 2 or 4.

 But looking at the examples provided:
 Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" - this is very similar structurally to "changes in attitude"
 Sense 2: "he attributed the change to their marriage" - this is "the change" singular, referring to a specific difference.

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "tracks <t>changes</t> in attitude"
 This is plural "changes".

 Sense 4 examples include "marked changes in the lining" and "changes in the wording".
 Sense 2 example uses singular "the change".

 But plurality isn't determinative.

 However, sense 4 specifically mentions "the result of alteration or modification" - and when we say "changes in attitude", we could mean the attitudes have been altered/modified, so we're looking at the results.

 But sense 2 "relational difference between states" - when attitudes change, there is a relational difference between the previous state and current state.

 I think I need to determine which is the standard WordNet sense for this usage.

 Upon reflection, in WordNet:
 - Sense 2 (change#n#2) is often used for "change" meaning the difference or delta
 - Sense 4 (change#n#4) is for the modified form itself

 For example:
 - "measure the change in temperature" -> sense 2 (relational difference)
 - "the document has several changes" -> sense 4 (modifications/results)

 "Tracks changes in attitude" is analogous to "measures changes in temperature" or "monitors changes in the environment".

 In polling, we track the shift/difference in attitudes over time.

 I think the answer is 2.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"
 Could "changes in attitude" be the events of attitudes changing? Like "the changes in attitude happened in the 1990s"?
 Yes, that's possible.

 But the sentence says the poll tracks these changes. If the poll is taken regularly since 1995, it tracks the differences as they occur over time. It's tracking the shifts.

 Sense 2 seems most appropriate for tracking differences over time.

 Actually, I recall that in some semantic datasets like SemCor or similar, "change" in contexts like "climate change" or "changes in temperature" are often tagged with specific senses.

 Climate change is usually sense 1 or 3?

 Climate change: the changing of climate (action) or the event?

 Let me reconsider all options again:

 The sentence: "tracks changes in attitude across the region"
 - "changes" = plural noun
 - Being tracked by a poll taken regularly since 1995
 - Refers to shifts in attitude over time

 Option 2: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event"
 - This fits: the poll tracks the differences between attitude states over time.

 Option 4: "the result of alteration or modification"
 - This fits too: the poll tracks the modified attitudes (the results of attitude alteration).

 Option 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"
 - Could fit: the poll tracks the events of attitude transition.

 But the key is "across the region" and "since 1995" - this suggests tracking the pattern of differences over time and space.

 In standard lexical semantic databases, this is likely sense 2.

 However, I'm now leaning toward sense 4 because:
 - "changes in attitude" treats changes as the modifications themselves (the results)
 - Similar to "changes in the wording of the law"

 But sense 2 could be argued as well because it's the difference being measured.

 Let me look for disambiguation clues. The word "tracks" means to follow or monitor the path/progress of something. You track differences (sense 2) more naturally than you track results (sense 4)? Or vice versa?

 Actually, you track changes (as in modifications) in a document (sense 4).
 You track changes (as in differences) in data (sense 2).

 But looking at the examples again:
 Sense 2: "he attributed the change to their marriage" - here change is the effect/difference caused by marriage.
 Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" - here changes are observable modifications.

 In polling: "changes in public opinion" - this is usually categorized as sense 4 in some frameworks, or sense 2 in others.

 Wait, I should look at the specific wording of the definitions again carefully:

 1. "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"
    - The focus is on the occurrence/event of transition.

 2. "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event"
    - The focus is on the relationship/difference between two states.

 3. "the action of changing something"
    - The act/process.

 4. "the result of alteration or modification"
    - The outcome/product.

 In "tracks changes in attitude", the poll is measuring attitude values over time and identifying the differences. The changes are the differences between the measurements.

 This is classic sense 2. It's a relational difference between the attitude state at time t1 and time t2.

 The answer should be 2.

 But let me reconsider one more time. Could it be sense 4?
 "tracks the result of alteration or modification in attitude"
 This works too.

 However, the phrase "relational difference" in sense 2 is key because polls track the delta, the difference. Sense 4 is more about the manifestation of the change itself.

 Also, sense 2's example "he attributed the change to their marriage" is about attributing cause to a difference in state, which is similar to tracking differences over time.

 I'll go with 2.

 Actually, looking at similar tasks (this looks like a Word Sense Disambiguation task from a dataset like SemEval or similar), the answer for "changes" in "tracks changes" with time series data is usually sense 2.

 Final check: Is there any possibility it's sense 1? "an event that occurs..."
 If the sentence meant "tracks changes [events] in attitude", like tracking specific instances when attitudes changed (e.g., "the change in 1998, the change in 2005"), then sense 1 might work. But "changes in attitude" as a general phenomenon tracked regularly suggests the differences between states, not discrete events.

 Sense 2 is the best answer.

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

Sentence: Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in <t>attitude</t> across the region.

Senses:
1. definition=a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways | examples=he had the attitude that work was fun
2. definition=the arrangement of the body and its limbs | examples=he assumed an attitude of surrender
3. definition=a theatrical pose created for effect | examples=the actor struck just the right attitude
4. definition=position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference (the horizon or direction of motion)

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

 Sentence: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in <t>attitude</t> across the region."

 The word "attitude" here refers to changes being tracked by a poll. Polls typically measure opinions, beliefs, feelings, or mental states of people.

 Let's look at the senses:
 1. definition=a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways | examples=he had the attitude that work was fun
 2. definition=the arrangement of the body and its limbs | examples=he assumed an attitude of surrender
 3. definition=a theatrical pose created for effect | examples=the actor struck just the right attitude
 4. definition=position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference (the horizon or direction of motion)

 Sense 1 fits best because:
 - The sentence mentions a "poll" which measures opinions/mental states
 - It tracks "changes in attitude across the region" - this refers to changes in people's beliefs/feelings/opinions
 - This matches the definition of sense 1: a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings

 Sense 2 is about physical body position (posture).
 Sense 3 is about theatrical posing.
 Sense 4 is about aircraft/spacecraft orientation.

 None of these other senses make sense in the context of a poll tracking changes across a region.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

 Sentence: "Two related <t>things</t> stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is talking about results of a poll
 - Two related "things" stand out in the results
 - This suggests specific items, findings, or aspects that are being observed in the data

 Now let me look at the definitions:

 1. "a special situation" - examples: "this thing has got to end" - Doesn't fit, we're not talking about a situation.

 2. "an action" - examples: "how could you do such a thing?" - Doesn't fit, not talking about actions.

 3. "a special abstraction" - examples: "a thing of the spirit" - Doesn't fit, not an abstract spiritual concept.

 4. "an artifact" - examples: "how does this thing work?" - Doesn't fit, not a physical object/device.

 5. "an event" - examples: "a funny thing happened on the way to the..." - Could potentially fit, but "things" here seem to be findings or aspects of the results, not events.

 6. "a vaguely specified concern" - examples: "several matters to attend to" - This could work. "Matters" or "concerns" that stand out in results.

 7. "a statement regarded as an object" - examples: "to say the same thing in other terms" - Doesn't fit, not talking about statements or phrases.

 8. "an entity that is not named specifically" - examples: "I couldn't tell what the thing was" - This is close, but "things" here are named specifically as standing out in the results. Actually, looking more carefully, "thing" here refers to specific findings or points, but might be a general term for them.

 9. "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence" - examples: "the thing I like about her is ..." - This is referring to a specific attribute or characteristic.

 10. "a special objective" - examples: "the thing is to stay in bounds" - Doesn't fit, not talking about objectives.

 11. "a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion" - examples: "he has a thing about seafood" - Doesn't fit.

 12. "a separate and self-contained entity" - This is a very general definition.

 Let me reconsider the sentence: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll..."

 The word "things" here is referring to findings, points, or aspects that are observed in the poll results.

 Looking at definition 6: "a vaguely specified concern" with example "several matters to attend to". This seems like a strong candidate because "things" here is being used as a vague term for specific matters or points in the results.

 Definition 8: "an entity that is not named specifically" - The example is "I couldn't tell what the thing was". This suggests something unknown or unidentified. But in the sentence, the "things" are identified as standing out in the results - they are specific findings.

 Definition 12: "a separate and self-contained entity" - This is the most general sense of thing. But usually when we say "things" in a context like "two things stand out", we're referring to specific points or matters.

 Actually, let me think about this more carefully. In the context of discussing poll results, "things" is a vague, general word referring to specific findings, points, or aspects.

 Definition 6 says "a vaguely specified concern" with examples like "several matters to attend to".

 Definition 8 says "an entity that is not named specifically" with example "I couldn't tell what the thing was".

 Definition 12 says "a separate and self-contained entity".

 Looking at WordNet or standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 6 (matter, affair, thing): "a vaguely specified concern; 'several matters to attend to'; 'it is none of your affair'; 'things are going well'"

 This seems to fit best. When we say "Two things stand out in the results", we mean two matters, points, or findings stand out.

 Let me also consider sense 5 (event): "a funny thing happened..." - This doesn't fit because poll results don't contain "events" in the sense of occurrences.

 Sense 9: "any attribute or quality" - Example: "the thing I like about her is..." - This is close but usually refers to a specific characteristic.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 6: "several matters to attend to" - this is very similar to "Two related things stand out".

 In many dictionary frameworks, "thing" sense 6 is:
 "a separate and self-contained entity"
 or
 "a matter, affair, or concern"

 Looking at the specific definitions provided:

 6. definition=a vaguely specified concern | examples=several matters to attend to
 12. definition=a separate and self-contained entity

 In the sentence "Two related things stand out in the results", "things" refers to specific points, findings, or aspects.

 This is most similar to sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" or sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".

 However, sense 6 emphasizes that it's vaguely specified, which fits because "things" is a vague, general noun that stands in for more specific words like "findings," "points," "aspects," or "patterns."

 The example for sense 6 is "several matters to attend to" which is very similar usage - using "things/maters" as a vague placeholder for specific items.

 Let me think about sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity". This is the most basic physical sense of thing as an object. But in the sentence, we're talking about abstract findings in poll results, not physical objects.

 Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" - This fits abstract, non-physical things that are being discussed.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet definitions:

 WordNet 3.1 for "thing":
 1. (4) thing -- (a special situation; "this thing has got to end"; "it is a remarkable thing")
 2. (4) thing -- (an action; "how could you do such a thing?")
 3. (1) thing -- (a special abstraction; "a thing of the spirit"; "things of the heart")
 4. (12) thing -- (an artifact; "how does this thing work?")
 5. (1) thing -- (an event; "a funny thing happened on the way to the...")
 6. (11) thing -- (a vaguely specified concern; "several matters to attend to"; "it is none of your affair"; "things are going well")
 7. (4) thing -- (a statement regarded as an object; "to say the same thing in other terms")
 8. (8) thing -- (an entity that is not named specifically; "I couldn't tell what the thing was")
 9. (1) thing -- (any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence; "the thing I like about her is ...")
 10. (1) thing -- (a special objective; "the thing is to stay in bounds")
 11. (1) thing -- (a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion; "he has a thing about seafood"; "she has a thing about guns")
 12. (25) thing -- (a separate and self-contained entity)

 Now, looking at the sentence: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll..."

 The word "things" here is referring to findings, points, or aspects. It's being used as a vague, general term.

 The key question is: is this sense 6 or sense 8 or sense 12?

 Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" - examples include "several matters to attend to" and "things are going well"

 In the phrase "things are going well", "things" refers to affairs, matters, or the general state of affairs.

 In "Two related things stand out", "things" refers to specific findings or points.

 Sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically" - example: "I couldn't tell what the thing was"

 This sense suggests that the speaker doesn't know or can't identify what the thing is. But in our sentence, the things are identified - they stand out in the results. The speaker knows what they are; they're just using "things" as a general term.

 Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity" - this is the most common, general sense of thing.

 However, when we talk about abstract things like findings in a poll, we're usually using sense 6 (a vaguely specified concern/matter) rather than sense 12 (a separate entity).

 Let me look at the examples again:
 - Sense 6: "several matters to attend to"
 - Sense 12: (no example given in the list, but generally refers to objects or distinct items)

 Actually, looking at the exact wording of sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern"

 And the example: "several matters to attend to"

 In the sentence "Two related things stand out in the results", the word "things" is indeed vaguely specified. The speaker is not saying "Two related findings" or "Two related patterns" but using the vague word "things".

 This matches sense 6 perfectly.

 Let me also consider if it could be sense 12. Sense 12 is "a separate and self-contained entity". This is very general and could apply. But sense 6 is more specific to the usage where "thing" means "matter" or "concern".

 In many classification tasks, "Two things stand out" would be classified as sense 6 because it's referring to matters or points of concern.

 Actually, looking at similar examples in WordNet or other lexical databases:
 - "How are things?" -> sense 6 (matters, affairs)
 - "Things are going well" -> sense 6
 - "Two things bother me" -> sense 6

 The phrase "Two related things stand out" is using "things" to mean "points" or "findings" or "aspects" - which are vaguely specified concerns or matters.

 Therefore, the answer should be 6.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 12. "a separate and self-contained entity"

 This is a very broad definition. In some sense, the "things" in the poll results are separate entities (findings).

 But the example for sense 8 is "I couldn't tell what the thing was" - this is when the identity is unknown.

 The example for sense 6 is "several matters to attend to" - this is when "thing" means a matter or concern.

 In "Two related things stand out", we have specific findings that are being referred to as "things". This is similar to saying "several matters to attend to".

 I believe the answer is 6.

 But let me also consider if there's any chance it's sense 5 (an event) or sense 9 (an attribute).

 Sense 5: "an event" - "a funny thing happened" - This doesn't fit. The poll results are not events.

 Sense 9: "any attribute or quality" - "the thing I like about her" - This refers to a specific characteristic. While the findings could be characteristics, "Two related things" suggests two distinct items, not attributes.

 Sense 7: "a statement regarded as an object" - "to say the same thing" - Not this, because we're not talking about statements or utterances.

 Sense 3: "a special abstraction" - "a thing of the spirit" - Not this.

 So it's between 6, 8, and 12.

 Sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically" - The key here is "not named specifically". In our sentence, are the things named specifically? The sentence says "Two related things stand out" but doesn't name them in that clause. However, the context suggests they are specific findings.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet gloss for sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically"

 This is often used when we can't identify what something is: "What's that thing?" or "I couldn't tell what the thing was."

 In our sentence, "things" is not being used because we can't name the entity. It's being used as a vague, general term for findings or points. We could name them (as findings, trends, patterns, etc.) but we're using the general word "things".

 This is the difference between:
 - Sense 6: using "thing" as a vague term for a matter/concern (where we could be more specific but choose a general word)
 - Sense 8: using "thing" because we don't know what it is or can't name it

 The sentence "Two related things stand out" suggests the speaker knows what they are (they stand out) but is using "things" as a general term. This fits sense 6.

 Also, the phrase "related things" suggests abstract matters or points that have a relationship, not physical entities.

 I think 6 is the best answer.

 Let me verify by looking at similar usage examples.

 If I say "Two things are important here", what sense of "thing" is that?

 In WordNet, that would be sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern; 'several matters to attend to'; 'it is none of your affair'; 'things are going well'"

 The usage "Two things stand out" is very similar to "several matters to attend to" or "things are going well".

 Actually, looking more carefully at the definitions:

 Sense 6: a vaguely specified concern
 Sense 12: a separate and self-contained entity

 "Two related things" - if these are findings in a poll, they are abstract, not physical entities.

 Sense 12 is usually for physical objects or distinct items.
 Sense 6 is for abstract matters, affairs, concerns.

 Since poll results contain abstract findings, points, or patterns, and "things" here is a vague reference to these matters, sense 6 is correct.

 However, I want to make absolutely sure. Let me think about this from the perspective of how these senses are distinguished.

 Sense 12 (entity) is the most frequent sense and is used for:
 - Physical objects: "What's that thing?"
 - Distinct items: "I have a lot of things to do"

 Actually, "I have a lot of things to do" - is that sense 6 or 12?

 In WordNet, "things to do" might be sense 6 (matters, affairs) or sense 12 (entities).

 Looking at the WordNet database:
 - Sense 6: thing, affair, matter -- (a vaguely specified concern; "several matters to attend to"; "it is none of your affair"; "things are going well")
 - Sense 12: thing -- (a separate and self-contained entity)

 The phrase "things are going well" is explicitly listed under sense 6.

 The phrase "Two related things stand out" is similar to "things are going well" - it's using "things" to refer to the state of affairs or specific matters.

 Also, consider: "There are two things I want to tell you."
 This is sense 6 - referring to matters or points.

 Or sense 7? "a statement regarded as an object" - "to say the same thing"
 No, that's about statements.

 Or sense 12? "a separate and self-contained entity"

 Actually, looking at usage patterns:
 - When "thing" refers to a topic, matter, or point of discussion, it's sense 6.
 - When "thing" refers to a physical object or distinct item, it's sense 12.

 In "Two related things stand out in the results", we are talking about findings or points in the results. These are topics or matters.

 Therefore: Sense 6.

 I'm quite confident the answer is 6.

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

Sentence: Two related things stand out in the <t>results</t> of this year's poll, taken in September and early October.

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
2. definition=a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem | examples=they were trying to find a peaceful solution
3. definition=something that results | examples=he listened for the results on the radio
4. definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause

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

Sentence: "Two related things stand out in the <t>results</t> of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."

Let me analyze the sentence:
- It's talking about the "results" of a poll/survey conducted in September and early October.
- In this context, "results" refers to the outcome or findings of the poll.
- It's the data or information obtained from the poll.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
   - This refers to a causal effect or consequence. While poll results are outcomes, sense 1 seems more about physical phenomena or direct causal effects.

2. definition=a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem | examples=they were trying to find a peaceful solution
   - This is clearly about solutions to problems. Poll results aren't solutions, they're outcomes/data.

3. definition=something that results | examples=he listened for the results on the radio
   - This is a general definition for the outcome or consequence of something. The example "he listened for the results on the radio" suggests things like election results, poll results, etc. This seems to fit "results of this year's poll" very well.

4. definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause
   - This is a linguistic/technical definition about semantic roles in grammar. This doesn't fit the sentence at all.

Sense 3 seems to be the best fit. It's the general sense of "result" as an outcome or consequence of some process (in this case, a poll). The poll was conducted (the activity), and the "results" are what came out of it - the data, findings, or outcomes.

Sense 1 is close but seems more focused on causal phenomena (like "the result of mixing chemicals" or "the result of the experiment" in a physical sense), whereas sense 3 is broader and includes things like poll results, election results, etc.

Actually, looking at the examples again:
- Sense 1 example: "the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise" - this is describing a physical effect/phenomenon.
- Sense 3 example: "he listened for the results on the radio" - this is clearly about things like election results, which is very similar to poll results.

Therefore, the answer should be 3.

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

Sentence: Two related things stand out in the results of this <t>year</t>'s poll, taken in September and early October.

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 "year" is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "Two related things stand out in the results of this <t>year</t>'s poll, taken in September and early October."

The word "year" here is referring to "this year's poll" - meaning the poll conducted during the current calendar year or the specific year being referenced.

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
   - This is the general sense of a year as a time 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 institutional years like school year, fiscal year, etc., that don't necessarily align with the calendar 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
   - This is the astronomical definition.

4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97
   - This is clearly about a graduating class.

In the sentence "this year's poll", the word "year" is referring to the calendar year (like 2023, 2024, etc.) - a period of 365/366 days. It's not referring to a school year (sense 2) because there's no indication it's an academic context. It's not the astronomical sense (sense 3) in this context. It's definitely not sense 4.

So sense 1 seems correct: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - i.e., a calendar year.

Wait, let me reconsider. "This year's poll" - could this be sense 2? Sense 2 is "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity." Examples given are "a school year."

Actually, looking carefully at sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity." This sounds like it could apply to things like "the academic year," "the fiscal year," etc.

But in "this year's poll," unless specified otherwise, "year" typically refers to the calendar year (January 1 to December 31), which is sense 1. The phrase "taken in September and early October" suggests we're talking about a specific calendar year (e.g., 2023), not a fiscal year or academic year that might run differently.

Also, sense 1 examples include "she is 4 years old" which uses "year" as a general measure of time. But "this year's poll" uses "year" to mean the current calendar year.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1 is the basic "twelve months" or "365 days" meaning.
- Sense 2 is more specific to institutional years (academic, fiscal).

In "this year's poll", without any qualifier like "school" or "fiscal", it refers to the calendar year. Therefore, sense 1.

But let me double-check if there's any ambiguity. The sentence mentions the poll was "taken in September and early October." This confirms it's referring to a specific calendar year period.

Sense 1: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - this is the calendar year.
Sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - this would be like "the school year runs from September to June."

Since "this year's poll" refers to the calendar year (e.g., 2024), and the poll happened in September/October of that year, sense 1 is correct.

Wait, I should check if WordNet or similar lexicographic resources distinguish these differently. This looks like it might be from WordNet or a similar lexical database.

In WordNet:
- year#1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days
- year#2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity (e.g., school year)
- year#3: the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun
- year#4: a body of students who graduate together

In the sentence "this year's poll", "year" refers to the calendar year. This is sense 1.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Two related things stand out in the results of this year's <t>poll</t>, taken in September and early October.

Senses:
1. definition=an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people

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

 Sentence: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's <t>poll</t>, taken in September and early October."

 The word "poll" here is referring to something that has "results" and was "taken in September and early October" (referring to when it was conducted).

 Let's look at the senses:
 1. definition=an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people
 2. definition=the top of the head
 3. definition=the part of the head between the ears
 4. definition=a tame parrot
 5. definition=the counting of votes (as in an election)

 The context suggests a survey or opinion poll. The phrase "results of this year's poll" and "taken in September and early October" strongly suggests sense 1 - an inquiry into public opinion.

 Sense 5 (counting of votes) could also be a possibility, but "taken in September and early October" suggests a survey conducted during that time period, not necessarily an election. Also, "results of this year's poll" is more commonly associated with opinion polls/surveys than with elections (though elections do have polls).

 However, looking closely at sense 5: "the counting of votes (as in an election)" - this would be the result of an election. But the phrase "taken in September and early October" is more characteristic of when opinion polls are conducted (survey data collection) rather than when votes are counted (which typically happens on election day).

 Also, sense 1 specifically mentions "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing" which fits with "taken in September and early October" (when the interviews/survey was conducted).

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The first is Latin America's fairly sunny <t>mood</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling | examples=whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time
2. definition=the prevailing psychological state | examples=the climate of opinion
3. definition=verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of "mood" is used in the sentence: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny <t>mood</t>."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" refers to the emotional state or atmosphere of Latin America.
 - The word "sunny" here is metaphorical, meaning cheerful, optimistic, or positive.
 - This is talking about a psychological state or feeling of a region/people.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" - examples mention "temper" and individual feelings. This seems more individual/personal.

 2. "the prevailing psychological state" - examples mention "climate of opinion." This seems to refer to a collective or general atmosphere, which fits "Latin America's mood" - the general emotional state of the region.

 3. "verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker" - This is the grammatical mood (indicative, subjunctive, imperative, etc.). This is clearly not the meaning used in the sentence.

 So the sentence is using "mood" to mean the general psychological state or atmosphere of Latin America, which matches sense 2.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 2.

 Sense 1: "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" - this could apply to individuals or groups. The example "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time" suggests individual mood.

 Sense 2: "the prevailing psychological state" - "climate of opinion" suggests a collective, general atmosphere.

 The sentence says "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" - this is referring to the collective mood of Latin America, the prevailing psychological state of the region. This aligns well with sense 2.

 However, sense 1 could also potentially fit, as it refers to a "state of feeling" which could be collective. But sense 2 specifically mentions "prevailing psychological state" and the example "climate of opinion" which is very similar to the usage here.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 1 is usually the personal emotional state (a person's mood)
 - Sense 2 is the collective atmosphere or tone (the mood of the meeting, the mood of the country)

 The phrase "Latin America's mood" suggests the collective, prevailing psychological state of the region, not an individual's temporary feeling.

 Therefore, the answer should be 2.

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

Sentence: The <t>second</t> is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions.

1. definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude
2. definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "second" is used in the given sentence. The word "second" is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

Sentence: "The <t>second</t> is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

Let me analyze the sentence:
- "The second is..." suggests this is referring to a point in a sequence or list.
- It's talking about "the increasing stability..." as being the second item/point.
- This matches sense 1: "coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude"

Sense 2 is about music - a second part/voice/instrument in an orchestra, which doesn't fit here.

So the answer should be 1.

 Sentence: "The second is the increasing <t>stability</t> of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

 Senses:
 1. definition=the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast
 2. definition=a stable order (especially of society)
 3. definition=the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation | examples=early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds

 Let me analyze the sentence. The sentence talks about "stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

 This refers to attitudes being stable, meaning they don't change much, they are enduring and consistent over time.

 Looking at the options:
 - Sense 1: "firm and steadfast" - this could apply, but seems more about physical stability or resolve
 - Sense 2: "a stable order (especially of society)" - this refers to social/political order, not attitudes
 - Sense 3: "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation" - this fits best with attitudes being stable (not changing)

 The sentence is talking about attitudes becoming more stable - meaning they are becoming more enduring and free from change or variation. This matches sense 3.

 Sense 2 would be more about the stability of the democratic system itself as an order, but here it's specifically about "attitudes towards democracy" - so it's about the consistency/endurance of those attitudes.

 Therefore, the answer should be 3.

4. definition=position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference (the horizon or direction of motion)

In the sentence, "attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions" refers to people's mental states, beliefs, feelings, and dispositions regarding democracy. This clearly matches sense 1.

Sense 2 is about physical body posture.
Sense 3 is about theatrical poses.
Sense 4 is about aircraft/spacecraft orientation.

The correct answer is 1.
