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

Sentence: (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this <t>week</t> that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB-

Senses:
1. definition=any period of seven consecutive days | examples=it rained for a week
2. definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

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

Sentence: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."

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

Let me look at the three senses:

1. "any period of seven consecutive days" - This is a general definition of a week as a time period.
2. "hours or days of work in a calendar week" - This refers to work week or the concept of working days/hours.
3. "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" - This is a specific calendar definition starting on Sunday.

In the sentence, "reported this week" means "during the current week" or "in the period of seven days ending now/including now." This refers to a general seven-day period, not specifically a work week (sense 2) and not necessarily starting on Sunday (sense 3).

Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days" - This fits because "this week" refers to the current seven-day period.

Sense 3 specifies starting on Sunday, but "this week" in news reporting often refers to the current calendar week or simply a seven-day period, but the specific start day isn't necessarily implied. However, sense 1 is broader and more general.

Actually, looking carefully:
- Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days
- Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

Sense 3 is actually a subset of Sense 1. But in WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 3 would be the specific "calendar week" starting on Sunday, while sense 1 is the general concept.

In the phrase "reported this week," this refers to the current week as a time period. It's not referring to work hours (sense 2). It's referring to the current seven-day period.

Between sense 1 and 3: "this week" in common parlance usually refers to the current calendar week, but strictly speaking, without specification of Sunday, sense 1 might be safer. However, looking at the examples:

Sense 1 example: "it rained for a week" - this refers to any 7-day period.
Sense 3: specifies starting on Sunday.

In news contexts, "this week" typically means the current calendar week (which traditionally starts on Sunday in some contexts, or Monday in others). But the definition says "starting on Sunday."

Actually, looking at standard dictionary entries (like WordNet):
- Sense 1: calendar week, week - a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday and continuing through Saturday
- Sense 2: workweek, week - hours or days of work in a calendar week
- Sense 3: week, hebdomad - any period of seven consecutive days

Wait, I need to check the order. The user gave:
1. any period of seven consecutive days
2. hours or days of work in a calendar week
3. a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

So in this ordering:
Sense 1 is the general "seven consecutive days"
Sense 3 is the specific "starting on Sunday"

In the sentence "reported this week", this is referring to the current time period of seven days. It's not specifically emphasizing that it starts on Sunday, so sense 1 seems most appropriate.

But let me reconsider. "This week" in the given sentence functions as an adverbial phrase indicating when the reporting happened - during the current week. This refers to the calendar week.

However, looking at the distinction:
- Sense 1: "it rained for a week" - duration
- Sense 3: "the week beginning Sunday..."

Actually, in many lexical resources:
- The first sense is often the calendar week (Sunday to Saturday)
- The second is workweek
- The third is any seven-day period

But here the user has specified:
1. any period of seven consecutive days
3. starting on Sunday

So 1 is general, 3 is specific.

In "reported this week", it means "during the week that includes the present time" or "in the current week." This is typically understood as the calendar week.

But actually, looking at WordNet 3.1 or similar:
week#n#1: any period of seven consecutive days; "it rained for a week"
week#n#2: hours or days of work in a calendar week; "they worked a 40-hour week"
week#n#3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

Wait, that doesn't make sense because sense 3 would be a hyponym of sense 1. Let me reconsider.

Actually, looking at typical dictionary definitions:
- A week is a period of seven days (general)
- A work week is the days worked
- A week can specifically mean Sunday to Saturday (in some traditions)

In the sentence, "this week" refers to the current seven-day period. It is being used to indicate a recent time frame. This aligns with sense 1.

Sense 2 is clearly wrong because it's not about work hours.
Sense 3 is too specific because it requires starting on Sunday, and "this week" doesn't necessarily commit to that specific start day in all contexts, though calendar weeks do start on specific days.

Actually, in most news contexts, "this week" refers to the current calendar week. But between sense 1 and sense 3, sense 1 is the broader, more general definition that would cover "this week" when referring to the current seven-day period.

However, I should check if there's a convention. In many NLP datasets like WordNet/SemCor:
- "this week", "last week", "next week" are usually tagged with the general sense (any 7 days), not the Sunday-specific one.

For example, in SemCor or similar sense-tagged corpora:
- "week" in "this week" or "last week" typically gets sense 1 (the general period).

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

Let me double-check:
- Sense 2 is definitely wrong (not about work).
- Sense 3 is very specific about Sunday.
- Sense 1 covers "any period of seven consecutive days" which includes "this week" (the current such period).

Yes, 1 is the correct answer.

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

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the <t>proportion</t> of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."

 The word "proportion" here refers to the percentage or fraction of Latin Americans living in poverty (32%). This is talking about a part-to-whole relationship - specifically, the number of poor Latin Americans divided by the total number of Latin Americans.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole" - This is a mathematical definition. It refers to a ratio or fraction. The sentence mentions 32%, which is a specific percentage (a type of proportion/ratio).

 2. "magnitude or extent" - This refers to size or scale, like "a building of vast proportions." This doesn't fit because the sentence is talking about a specific statistical ratio (32%), not the size or extent of something.

 3. "balance among the parts of something" - This refers to proportion in the sense of balanced composition. The sentence isn't talking about balance or composition.

 4. "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree" - This is close. The example given is "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations." This seems to refer to a share or part of something.

 5. "harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole" - This is about aesthetic balance or design, like in art or architecture.

 Now I need to distinguish between sense 1 and sense 4.

 Sense 1 is specifically mathematical: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole." This is exactly what a percentage is - a part divided by the whole.

 Sense 4 is more general: "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree." The example suggests it's about a share or portion ("an inordinate proportion of the book").

 Actually, looking more carefully:
 - Sense 1 is the mathematical definition (ratio/quotient)
 - Sense 4 is about the relationship or ratio between quantities

 In the sentence, "proportion" is followed by "of Latin Americans living in poverty" and the value is given as 32%. This is clearly referring to the fraction or percentage of the population.

 Sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole" - This fits perfectly. 32% = (number of poor Latin Americans) / (total Latin Americans).

 Sense 4 could also fit, but let's look at the example: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations." This is using "proportion" to mean a share or part, not necessarily a specific mathematical ratio expressed as a percentage.

 However, sense 1 is more precise for a statistical percentage context. The UN report is giving a specific statistical proportion (32%).

 Let me reconsider. In WordNet (which these definitions look like they come from), the senses are:

 1. proportion, ratio - the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole
 2. proportion, dimension - magnitude or extent
 3. proportion - balance among the parts of something
 4. proportion, ratio - the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree
 5. symmetry, proportion - harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole

 Actually, looking at the definitions again:
 Sense 1 mentions "quotient" - very mathematical.
 Sense 4 mentions "relation between things... with respect to their comparative quantity" - this is broader.

 The example for sense 4: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" - this is similar to the sentence structure in the question: "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty."

 But wait, the sentence gives a specific percentage: 32%. This suggests a mathematical proportion (sense 1).

 However, looking at typical usage:
 - "The proportion of X is Y%" - this could be either sense 1 or 4.

 Let me look at the distinction more carefully. Sense 1 is "the quotient obtained..." - this is the result of division, a specific number. Sense 4 is "the relation between things..." - this is more about the relationship or ratio.

 Actually, in many lexical databases:
 Sense 1 is often the mathematical ratio.
 Sense 4 is often the share or portion.

 But the example for sense 4 ("an inordinate proportion of the book") suggests it's about a part of a whole, not necessarily a specific numerical ratio.

 The sentence mentions 32%, which is a specific numerical value representing a ratio.

 I think sense 1 is the best fit because:
 1. It's a statistical report giving a specific percentage
 2. 32% is literally a quotient (part/whole)
 3. The context is quantitative and mathematical

 However, I should check if there's any ambiguity. Sense 4 mentions "comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree" which could also apply.

 But looking at the exact wording:
 Sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole"
 Sense 4: "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree"

 The key difference is that sense 1 is specifically about the mathematical operation (division) resulting in a quotient, while sense 4 is about the general relationship.

 In the context of the UN report citing a specific percentage (32%), this is clearly referring to the mathematical proportion - the quotient of poor people divided by total population.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 Wait, let me double-check by looking at similar examples. If I say "the proportion of students who passed is 80%", am I using sense 1 or 4?

 In WordNet, sense 1 is typically the mathematical ratio. Sense 4 is often about the relationship or balance between two different things, or a share.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 4 again: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" - this is about a part of a whole (the book), similar to "proportion of Latin Americans."

 But the key is that the sentence provides a specific percentage value (32%). This strongly indicates the mathematical sense (sense 1).

 Also, sense 4's definition mentions "relation between things (or parts of things)" which could imply a comparison between two different categories, whereas sense 1 is specifically about part-to-whole division.

 In the sentence, we have "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" - this is part (those in poverty) to whole (all Latin Americans).

 I think sense 1 is correct.

 But to be thorough, let me consider if it could be sense 4. The example "an inordinate proportion of the book" is very similar to "the proportion of Latin Americans." Both use "proportion of [group/container]."

 However, the presence of the specific percentage "32%" pushes me toward sense 1, as this is a precise mathematical proportion.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Proportion can mean "a part, share, or number considered in comparative relation to a whole" (which would be sense 4 or similar)
 - Or it can mean "the relationship of one thing to another in terms of quantity, size, or number; the ratio" (sense 1)

 Given that these look like WordNet definitions:
 WordNet 3.1 has:
 1. proportion, ratio -- (the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole)
 2. proportion, dimension -- (magnitude or extent)
 3. proportion -- (balance among the parts of something)
 4. proportion, ratio -- (the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree; "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations"; "a dry martini has a large proportion of gin")
 5. symmetry, proportion -- (harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole...)

 Wait, looking at sense 4's second example: "a dry martini has a large proportion of gin" - this is similar to the sentence structure.

 But sense 1 is specifically about the quotient.

 In the sentence, the proportion is given as 32%. This is a specific numerical value that is the result of division (poor/total).

 I think the answer is 1.

 But I want to check if there's any reason it would be 4. Sense 4 includes examples like "a large proportion" which is qualitative, whereas the sentence has a specific quantitative value (32%).

 Actually, looking carefully at the sentence: "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose... to 32%"

 The word "proportion" here is referring to the statistical measure, which is a ratio (sense 1).

 I will go with 1.

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

Sentence: (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this <t>year</t>, to 32%. -RRB-

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 sense of "year" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is:

"(The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this <t>year</t>, to 32%. -RRB-"

The senses are:
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

Let me analyze the context. The sentence mentions "2009" and "this year". The phrase "this year" refers to the current calendar year or a period of approximately 365 days. It's talking about the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty falling in the current year (the year when the report was made).

Looking at sense 1: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - this seems to fit. "This year" refers to the current calendar year, which is a period of 365 or 366 days.

Looking at sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - examples include "school year". This doesn't fit because "this year" in the context refers to the calendar year generally, not a specific activity period like a school year or fiscal year (though it could be a fiscal year, the context suggests calendar year).

Looking at sense 3: This is about planetary revolutions, like a Martian year. Definitely not this context.

Looking at sense 4: This is about a graduating class. Not relevant here.

So sense 1 is the correct answer. The phrase "this year" refers to the current calendar year, which is a period of approximately 365 days.

Wait, let me double-check. The sentence says "rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year". This suggests that "this year" is being contrasted with "2009". It's referring to the current year (whenever the report was written). This is the standard calendar year sense - a period of 365/366 days.

Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

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

Sentence: But the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 4).

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 numbered sense of "mood" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "But the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)."

 Let me analyze the three senses:

 1. "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" - This refers to an individual's emotional state or disposition. Example: "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time" - this is about an individual's mood/feeling.

 2. "the prevailing psychological state" - This refers to a collective or general atmosphere, feeling, or climate of opinion among a group of people. Example: "the climate of opinion" - this suggests a broader, collective mood.

 3. "verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker" - This is the grammatical sense of mood (indicative, subjunctive, imperative, etc.).

 Now looking at the sentence: "But the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)."

 The context suggests that different countries have different moods - this is referring to the prevailing psychological state or atmosphere in different countries. It's not about an individual's feeling (sense 1), and it's definitely not about grammar (sense 3).

 The phrase "varies widely from country to country" indicates a collective, prevailing state that differs across nations. This aligns with sense 2: "the prevailing psychological state" or "climate of opinion."

 The mention of "see chart 4" also suggests this is likely from a news article or report discussing public opinion or collective sentiment across different countries.

 Therefore, the answer should be 2.

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

Sentence: But the mood varies widely from <t>country</t> to country (see chart 4).

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

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

 Sentence: "But the mood varies widely from <t>country</t> to country (see chart 4)."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "the mood varies widely from country to country"
 - This suggests comparing different nations or political entities
 - "from country to country" is an idiom meaning from one nation to another

 Now 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
    - This refers to the political entity/government itself

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

 3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
    - This refers to the population/people
    - Wait, the example says "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - and our sentence mentions "the mood varies widely from country to country"
    - But actually, looking at the sentence "the mood varies widely from country to country" - this could mean the mood of the people varies from one nation to another

 4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
    - This is the rural/countryside meaning
    - Doesn't fit here because "from country to country" wouldn't make sense with this meaning (from countryside to countryside?)

 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
    - This is a more general regional meaning

 Now, looking at "from country to country" - this is a standard phrase meaning from one nation to another.

 But which specific sense is it?

 Sense 1: the political body/government
 Sense 2: the territory
 Sense 3: the people
 Sense 4: rural area (definitely not this)
 Sense 5: geographical region

 "From country to country" comparing moods - this is comparing the mood of different nations.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this directly relates to "mood" mentioned in the target sentence.

 However, "from country to country" is most commonly used to mean from one nation to another, where "country" = nation.

 Let me think about the distinctions:
 - Sense 1: politically organized body (the state/government)
 - Sense 2: territory (the land)
 - Sense 3: the people

 In the phrase "from country to country" when talking about mood, it could be:
 - The mood of the people (sense 3)
 - The mood/atmosphere of the nation as a whole

 But looking at standard dictionary definitions, "country" usually means:
 1. A nation state (political entity)
 2. The countryside (rural areas)

 WordNet (which these definitions look like they come from) has these specific senses.

 Let me check the examples again:
 Sense 3 example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"
 Target sentence: "the mood varies widely from country to country"

 The word "mood" appears in both. In sense 3, it's about the people's mood. In the target sentence, it's also about mood varying.

 However, "from country to country" is an expression that typically means "from one nation to another."

 But wait, looking at sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - example: "he returned to the land of his birth"
 Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - example: "the state has elected a new president"

 Actually, looking carefully at the sentence: "the mood varies widely from country to country"

 If "country" meant the territory (sense 2), would "mood" vary by territory? Not really.
 If "country" meant the political government (sense 1), would "mood" vary? Governments don't have moods, people do.
 If "country" meant the people (sense 3), then yes, the mood of the people varies from one country's people to another.

 Also, the example for sense 3 explicitly mentions "the nation's mood", which is very similar to the usage here.

 But I need to be careful. "From country to country" is a very common phrase. Let me think about what it means.

 When we say "laws vary from country to country" - we mean from one nation to another.
 When we say "customs vary from country to country" - we mean from one nation to another.

 In WordNet, sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation or country" - this is the collective sense of the population.

 Actually, looking at the definitions more carefully:
 1. politically organized body (the state apparatus)
 2. territory (the land)
 3. the people
 4. rural area
 5. geographical region

 In "from country to country" referring to mood, it's most likely sense 3 (the people) because mood is an attribute of people. However, it could also be a more general sense of "nation" as a whole.

 But looking at the example for sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this is exactly parallel to the usage in the sentence.

 Wait, I should check if there's a sense missing or if one of these covers "nation" generally.

 Sense 1 is "politically organized body" - that's close to nation.
 Sense 2 is territory.
 Sense 3 is people.

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.1 or similar:
 - Sense 1: state, nation, 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 phrase "from country to country" is ambiguous between these, but when referring to "mood", it strongly suggests sense 3 because mood is a characteristic of people.

 However, in common parlance, when we say "the mood in the country" or "from country to country", we often use "country" to mean the nation as a whole (the political/social entity).

 But given the specific definitions provided:
 - Definition 1 focuses on the political organization/government
 - Definition 2 focuses on the territory/land
 - Definition 3 focuses on the people

 And the example for definition 3 mentions "the nation's mood", which matches our sentence's "the mood varies... from country to country".

 Therefore, the answer should be 3.

 Let me double-check:
 Sentence: "But the mood varies widely from country to country"
 - "Mood" is something that belongs to people
 - Therefore, "country" here refers to the people who live in a nation (sense 3)

 If it were sense 1 (political body), we'd be talking about the government's mood, which doesn't make as much sense.
 If it were sense 2 (territory), land doesn't have a mood.
 Sense 4 is rural, which doesn't fit "from country to country" in this context.
 Sense 5 is a geographical region, but again, regions don't have moods in this sense.

 So sense 3 is the best fit.

 Actually, wait. I should reconsider. "Country" in "from country to country" is often used to mean "nation" in a general sense. But given the specific WordNet-style senses provided:

 Sense 1: politically organized body (state)
 Sense 2: territory (land)
 Sense 3: people (nation)
 Sense 4: countryside
 Sense 5: area/region

 The example for sense 3 is: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"
 The target sentence has: "the mood varies widely from country to country"

 This is a very strong match. The word "mood" appears in both, and in both cases, it's the mood of the nation/people.

 Therefore, the answer is 3.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "country" is used in the sentence: "But the mood varies widely from country to <t>country</t> (see chart 4)."

 Let me analyze the sentence and the senses:

 Sentence analysis: "from country to country" - this is an idiomatic expression meaning from one nation to another, or comparing different nations. The phrase suggests variation between different political entities or nations.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the state/government entity itself.
 2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - This refers to the land/geographic area.
 3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - This refers to the population/citizens.
 4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - This is the rural vs urban distinction.
 5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This is a general region/area.

 In the phrase "from country to country", we're talking about different nations as entities. But which specific sense?

 Let's think about the context: "the mood varies widely from country to country" - this suggests comparing different nations.

 Sense 1 focuses on the political organization/government.
 Sense 2 focuses on the territory/land.
 Sense 3 focuses on the people.

 When we say "from country to country" in the context of mood varying, we could be referring to:
 - Different nations as political entities (sense 1)
 - Different territories (sense 2)
 - Different groups of people (sense 3)

 However, looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 example: "the state has elected a new president" - focuses on government
 - Sense 2 example: "he returned to the land of his birth" - focuses on geographic territory
 - Sense 3 example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - focuses on the people

 The phrase "from country to country" is most commonly used to mean "from nation to nation" referring to the political entities or the nations as wholes.

 But wait, looking at the specific context: "the mood varies widely from country to country"

 If we're talking about "mood" varying, this could relate to sense 3 (the people), since mood is a characteristic of people. However, "country" in "from country to country" typically refers to the nation as a political/geographic entity.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - "Country" meaning a nation or sovereign state (sense 1 or 2 or 3 combined)
 - In "from country to country", it's usually referring to different nations.

 But I need to be precise about which numbered sense matches.

 Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is the state/nation as a political unit.
 Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - the land itself.
 Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - the populace.

 In the phrase "from country to country", when discussing how mood varies, we're comparing different nations. The word "country" here refers to the nation as a whole entity.

 However, looking at the examples provided:
 - Sense 3 has the example "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this directly relates to "mood" mentioned in the target sentence.

 But wait, the target sentence says "the mood varies widely from country to country". This means the mood changes depending on which country (nation) you're in.

 Let me reconsider the senses more carefully:

 Sense 1: The political organization/government itself.
 Sense 2: The territory/land.
 Sense 3: The people.
 Sense 4: Rural areas.
 Sense 5: A geographical region.

 In "from country to country", comparing mood:
 - If it refers to the political situation varying, it could be sense 1.
 - If it refers to the geographic conditions varying, it could be sense 2.
 - If it refers to the people's disposition varying, it could be sense 3.

 But the phrase "from country to country" is most idiomatically referring to different nations as distinct entities. In many dictionaries, "country" meaning "nation" or "state" is the primary definition.

 Looking at the specific wording of sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this is essentially the definition of a nation-state.

 Sense 2 is specifically about territory.
 Sense 3 is specifically about the people.

 When we travel "from country to country", we typically mean from one nation to another, crossing borders, entering different political jurisdictions.

 However, the mention of "mood" might suggest sense 3, since mood is attributed to people. But "country" in this construction is the container, not the content. The mood of the country = the mood of the people in that country.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this shows that "nation" (synonymous with country in sense 3) can have a mood attributed to it, referring to the collective sentiment of the people.

 But in "from country to country", the word "country" is being used to mean different nations. The question is whether it's sense 1, 2, or 3.

 Let me look at standard WordNet or similar sense distinctions, since this looks like WordNet data.

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 1: state, nation, 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"
 - Sense 4: country, rural area - "an area outside of cities and towns"
 - Sense 5: country - "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary..."

 In the phrase "from country to country", it's referring to different nations as distinct political/geographic entities. But which sense?

 Actually, looking at usage examples:
 - "Prices vary from country to country" - here it refers to the different national markets/jurisdictions.
 - "Customs differ from country to country" - refers to the different populations/cultures.

 But the most common classification for "country" when referring to a nation-state in general (not specifically the land or specifically the people, but the whole entity) is often sense 1 or sense 3 depending on context.

 Wait, looking at the example for sense 3 again: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood". The target sentence mentions "the mood varies widely from country to country". This is a very strong clue that sense 3 is intended, because it directly connects "mood" with "country/nation" in the example.

 However, "from country to country" is a fixed expression meaning "from one nation to another".

 Let me think about this differently. If I replace "country" with the definition:
 1. "from politically organized body to politically organized body"
 2. "from territory to territory"
 3. "from people to people"
 4. "from rural area to rural area"
 5. "from region to region"

 "From territory to territory" (sense 2) makes sense.
 "From people to people" (sense 3) makes sense.
 "From state to state" (sense 1) makes sense.

 But given the example for sense 3 mentions "mood", and the target sentence is about "mood", I think the answer is likely 3.

 However, I should be careful. The phrase "from country to country" is an idiomatic expression where "country" means "nation". In many lexical databases, this would map to sense 1 (the nation as a political entity) or sense 3 (the nation as a people).

 Let me check if there's a standard answer for this type of question. This looks like a Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) task.

 In WSD for "country":
 - "from country to country" typically maps to sense 1 or 3 depending on the specific wordnet version.

 But looking at the provided definitions:
 Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
 Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country"

 The key difference is that sense 1 emphasizes the political organization/government aspect, while sense 3 emphasizes the people themselves.

 In "from country to country" discussing mood:
 - If it's about economic policy or government regulations, it would be sense 1.
 - If it's about culture, feelings, or collective sentiment, it would be sense 3.

 Since the sentence mentions "mood", and sense 3's example mentions "mood", the answer is almost certainly 3.

 But wait, could it be sense 2? "The territory occupied by a nation" - does mood vary from territory to territory? That's possible but less likely. The example for sense 2 is "he returned to the land of his birth" which emphasizes geography, not collective sentiment.

 Could it be sense 1? The political organization having a mood? That's possible (e.g., "the mood in the government"), but "mood" in the sense of "the mood varies widely" usually refers to public sentiment, the feeling of the populace.

 Therefore, sense 3 seems correct.

 Let me double-check by considering if it could be sense 4 (rural area). "From rural area to rural area"? No, that doesn't fit the context of a chart showing international variation.

 Sense 5? "From region to region"? Possible, but "country" in the sense of region is usually preceded by "the" or used with modifiers like "wine country", "cattle country". The phrase "from country to country" specifically means international comparison, not regional.

 So it's between 1, 2, and 3.

 Given the explicit mention of "mood" and the example in sense 3, I will go with 3.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)."

 This is likely from an economics or business text discussing sentiment or opinion across different nations. In such contexts, "country" refers to the nation as a whole, but specifically the population/society when discussing "mood".

 However, in many lexical semantic frameworks, "from country to country" is treated as a collocation where "country" means "nation" in the general sense, which could be sense 1.

 But the presence of the word "mood" is the disambiguating factor here. Since sense 3 explicitly mentions "mood" in its example, and senses 1, 2, 4, and 5 do not, this is a strong indicator that the question expects answer 3.

 Therefore, the answer is 3.

Sentence: But the mood varies widely from country to country (see <t>chart</t> 4).

Senses:
1. definition=a visual display of information
2. definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of "chart" is used in the sentence: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see <t>chart</t> 4)."

 I have two options:
 1. definition=a visual display of information
 2. definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

 Looking at the context: The sentence mentions "see chart 4" in the context of discussing how mood varies from country to country. This is clearly referring to a visual representation of data (like a bar chart, line chart, etc.), which fits sense 1.

 Sense 2 refers specifically to navigation charts used by pilots or sailors (nautical charts or aeronautical charts).

 The context here is about statistical information about mood across countries, so it's definitely sense 1.

 The answer should be just the number: 1

The user wants me to identify which sense of "brazil" is used in the given sentence. The word is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence: "<t>Brazil</t>'s strong economic performance..."

Let me look at the two senses provided:

1. definition=the largest Latin American country and the largest Portuguese speaking country in the world; located in the central and northeastern part of South America; world's leading coffee exporter
2. definition=three-sided tropical American nut with white oily meat and hard brown shell

Sense 1 refers to the country Brazil.
Sense 2 refers to the brazil nut (the actual nut).

In the sentence: "Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva..."

This clearly refers to the country Brazil, not the nut. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is a former president of Brazil (the country). The context mentions "economic performance" and "president", which clearly indicates the country sense.

Therefore, the correct answer is sense 1.

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

The sentence is: "Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing <t>president</t>, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress."

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is a former president of Brazil. Brazil is a republic. So the sense should be "the chief executive of a republic."

Let me look at the options:
1. an executive officer of a firm or corporation - This is for business contexts, not countries.
2. the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government - This is specifically for the US President.
3. the chief executive of a republic - This fits Brazil, which is a republic.
4. the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization - This is for meetings/organizations.
5. the head administrative officer of a college or university - This is for educational institutions.
6. the office of the United States head of state - This refers to the office itself, not the person, and is US-specific.

Since Brazil is a republic and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was its president (chief executive), sense 3 is the correct answer.

The sentence refers to "outgoing president" in the context of Brazil (a country), and specifically names Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was the President of Brazil. Brazil is a federal republic. Therefore, sense 3 "the chief executive of a republic" is the correct definition.

I should return only the number: 3

 Sentence: "Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared <t>sense</t> of progress."

 The word "sense" here is used in the phrase "sense of progress". This means a general conscious awareness or feeling of progress.

 Let's look at the options:
 1. definition=a general conscious awareness | examples=a sense of security
 2. definition=the meaning of a word or expression...
 3. definition=the faculty through which the external world is apprehended (physical senses like sight, hearing)
 4. definition=sound practical judgment (common sense)
 5. definition=a natural appreciation or ability (a keen musical sense)

 The phrase "sense of progress" matches with definition 1: "a general conscious awareness". It's similar to the example "a sense of security" - it's a feeling or awareness that progress is being made.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of <t>progress</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=gradual improvement or growth or development | examples=advancement of knowledge

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

 Sentence: "Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of <t>progress</t>."

 The sentence talks about a "sense of progress" related to economic performance and political popularity. This suggests a general feeling of improvement or development in the country.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. definition=gradual improvement or growth or development | examples=advancement of knowledge
 2. definition=the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)
 3. definition=a movement forward | examples=he listened for the progress of the troops

 Sense 1 focuses on "gradual improvement or growth or development" - this fits well with economic performance and the general sense of a country doing better.

 Sense 2 focuses on "the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)" - this is more about the action or process of progressing toward something specific.

 Sense 3 focuses on "a movement forward" with a military example (troops) - this seems more physical or literal movement.

 In the context of "economic performance" and a "sense of progress" in a country, this is clearly about improvement, development, and growth - not about physical movement or the act of moving toward a specific goal (though related).

 The phrase "sense of progress" here means a feeling that things are getting better, improving, developing - which aligns with sense 1: "gradual improvement or growth or development".

 Sense 2 could be argued as it's about moving forward, but the specific context of economic performance suggests development/improvement rather than just movement toward a goal.

 Sense 3 is clearly about physical movement (troops), which doesn't fit.

 So the answer should be 1.

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

The sentence is: "That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the <t>recession</t> was more severe and violent crime has worsened."

Let me look at the context:
- It mentions Mexico and Central America
- It says the recession was "more severe"
- It mentions "violent crime has worsened"
- This is clearly talking about an economic downturn

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
2. definition=a small concavity
3. definition=the withdrawal of the clergy and choir from the chancel to the vestry at the end of a church service
4. definition=the act of ceding back
5. definition=the act of becoming more distant

Sense 1 is clearly the economic definition, which fits the context of the sentence talking about severity in Mexico and Central America (economic conditions).

Sense 2 is a physical/geological term (like a recess or small cavity).

Sense 3 is a religious/ritual term.

Sense 4 is about ceding back territory or rights.

Sense 5 is about physical distance increasing.

The sentence is clearly referring to an economic recession, so the answer is 1.

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

 Sentence: "That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent <t>crime</t> has worsened."

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

 Looking at the two senses provided:
 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

 In the sentence, "violent crime" refers to criminal acts that are punishable by law (violent criminal acts). The context is about Mexico and Central America where violent crime has worsened - this refers to actual criminal activities like murder, assault, etc., which are punishable by law.

 Sense 1 fits because it refers to acts punishable by law.
 Sense 2 refers to evil acts not necessarily punishable by law (like "crimes of the heart" - metaphorical uses).

 "Violent crime" is a standard collocation referring to criminal offenses involving violence that are punishable by law.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

Sentence: For only the second <t>time</t> since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5).

Senses:
1. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | examples=this time he succeeded
2. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses

 Sentence: "For only the second <t>time</t> since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5)."

 The word "time" here is preceded by "the second", indicating it's counting occurrences or instances. "For only the second time" means this is the second instance/occurrence of something happening.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | examples=this time he succeeded
 2. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses
 3. definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | examples=he waited a long time
 4. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go
 5. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past

 8. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
 9. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration
 10. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months

 The phrase "the second time" clearly refers to an instance or occasion. This matches sense 1: "an instance or single occasion for some event".

 The example given for sense 1 is "this time he succeeded", which is similar usage - referring to a specific occurrence or instance of an event.

 In the sentence, "For only the second time since the polls began" means this is the second instance/occurrence where more respondents cite crime rather than unemployment.

 So the answer should be 1.

Sentence: "For only the second time since the <t>polls</t> began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5)."

Let's look at the context:
- "since the polls began"
- "more respondents across Latin America"
- "cite crime... as the most important problem"
- This is clearly about surveying public opinion.

Now let's check 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 talks about respondents (people answering questions) across Latin America citing problems. This is clearly about public opinion surveys. So sense 1 fits best.

Sense 5 is about counting votes in an election, but this sentence is about respondents citing problems, not voting. So it's not sense 5.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

The sentence is: "For only the second time since the polls began, more <t>respondents</t> across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5)."

The senses are:
1. definition=the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding) who is accused of adultery with the corespondent
2. definition=someone who responds

In the context of the sentence, it mentions "polls" and people citing problems. This clearly refers to people who respond to polls or surveys.

Sense 1 refers to a legal term specific to divorce proceedings involving adultery.
Sense 2 is a general definition of someone who responds.

In the context of polls and surveys, "respondents" refers to people who respond to questions (survey respondents). This matches sense 2.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "whole" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a <t>whole</t> cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5)."

The two senses provided are:
1. definition=all of something including all its component elements or parts | examples=Europe considered as a whole
2. definition=an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity | examples=how big is that part compared to the whole?

Let me analyze the usage in the sentence. The phrase is "Latin America as a whole". This means considering all of Latin America together, including all its component parts (countries, regions, etc.).

Looking at sense 1: "all of something including all its component elements or parts" with the example "Europe considered as a whole". This matches perfectly with "Latin America as a whole" - it means all of Latin America including all its countries/components.

Looking at sense 2: "an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity" with the example "how big is that part compared to the whole?". This seems to be referring to the whole as a noun meaning a complete thing, often contrasted with parts. While related, the specific usage "as a whole" in the sentence aligns more with sense 1.

The phrase "as a whole" is an idiom meaning "considered altogether" or "in total", which corresponds to sense 1: all of something including all its component elements.

Sense 2 seems to be referring to the noun "whole" as a single entity made up of parts, but the example "how big is that part compared to the whole?" suggests a comparison between a part and the complete entity.

In the sentence "Latin America as a whole", the meaning is "all of Latin America considered together" which is sense 1.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: "For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite <t>crime</t>, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5)."

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

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is talking about a poll where respondents cite "crime" as the most important problem facing their country, alongside unemployment. This is referring to crime as a social issue - acts that are punishable by law (criminal activity in general). It's the general concept of criminal acts/activity that is a problem in society.

Sense 1: "(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act" - This fits the general societal problem of crime (criminal acts, illegal acts).
Sense 2: "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law" - This is more metaphorical or moral but not necessarily legal (like "crimes of the heart").

In the context of a poll about problems facing a country, "crime" refers to illegal acts, criminal activity - things that are punishable by law. This is sense 1.

Wait, let me reconsider. Is there any ambiguity? The sentence contrasts crime with unemployment as problems facing the country. This is clearly referring to the general phenomenon of criminal acts/behavior that violates criminal law. So sense 1.

Actually, looking at the definitions again:
Sense 1: "an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act"
Sense 2: "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law"

In the sentence, "crime" is used as a mass noun or general concept referring to criminal activity in society. This aligns with sense 1, as it refers to acts punishable by law (criminal law).

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important <t>problem</t> facing their country (see chart 5).

Senses:
1. definition=a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved | examples=she and her husband are having problems
2. definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
3. definition=a source of difficulty | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job

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

Let me analyze the sentence:
"For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important <t>problem</t> facing their country (see chart 5)."

The word "problem" here refers to crime and unemployment being cited as important issues or difficulties facing the country.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved | examples=she and her husband are having problems
   - This refers to a general state of difficulty or trouble.

2. definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
   - This refers to a specific question or exercise, often academic or mathematical.

3. definition=a source of difficulty | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job
   - This refers to something that causes difficulty or trouble.

In the sentence, crime and unemployment are being cited as the most important "problem" facing their country. This is referring to a state of difficulty or an issue that needs to be resolved.

Looking at sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" - this fits well. Crime is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.

Looking at sense 3: "a source of difficulty" - crime could also be seen as a source of difficulty.

But let's look more carefully. The phrase is "the most important problem facing their country." This suggests a general issue or difficulty that the country is experiencing.

Sense 1 examples: "she and her husband are having problems" - this is about experiencing difficulties.
Sense 3 examples: "one trouble after another delayed the job" - this is about things that cause trouble.

In the context of the sentence, respondents are citing crime as the most important problem (issue/difficulty) facing their country. This aligns with sense 1 - a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.

Actually, let me reconsider. The word "problem" in the context of social issues like crime and unemployment typically refers to a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.

Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
Sense 3: "a source of difficulty"

If we say "crime is a problem," we could interpret it as:
- Crime is a state of difficulty (sense 1)
- Crime is a source of difficulty (sense 3)

But looking at the example for sense 3: "one trouble after another delayed the job" - this suggests specific instances or things that cause problems.

The example for sense 1: "she and her husband are having problems" - this refers to experiencing difficulties in general.

In the sentence, "the most important problem facing their country" - this is referring to a major issue or difficulty that the country is facing. This seems to align with sense 1.

However, I should look at standard dictionary definitions to be sure. Usually, WordNet or similar lexicons are used for these sense distinctions.

Sense 1 seems to be the general "difficulty" sense.
Sense 2 is clearly the "question/exercise" sense (like a math problem).
Sense 3 is "source of difficulty" - like "the problem is that we don't have enough time."

Wait, looking at sense 3 again: "a source of difficulty" with example "one trouble after another delayed the job."

Actually, in the sentence "cite crime... as the most important problem", crime is being identified as the problem. Is crime a "state of difficulty" or a "source of difficulty"?

Crime is more like a source of difficulty (it causes problems for the country). But it could also be viewed as the difficulty itself.

Let me think about the distinction between sense 1 and 3 more carefully.

Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
- This is about the condition of being difficult or troublesome
- Example: "they have problems in their marriage"

Sense 3: "a source of difficulty"
- This is about the cause of the trouble
- Example: "the problem is that we don't have enough money"

In the sentence, "crime... as the most important problem facing their country" - crime is the issue that is facing the country. It's the difficulty itself.

Actually, looking at typical usage in surveys and polls, when people say "unemployment is the most important problem," they mean it's the most important issue or difficulty.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved."

But let me double-check. The phrase "facing their country" suggests that the country is experiencing this difficulty.

I think the answer is 1.

Wait, I want to be very careful. Let me look at the example for sense 3 again: "one trouble after another delayed the job." Here, "trouble" is used as a synonym for problem, and it refers to specific things that caused the delay.

In the sentence, crime is an ongoing issue/situation. It's not just a specific source, but a general condition.

Actually, looking at WordNet senses (which this seems to be based on):
- Sense 1: problem, job - a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved
- Sense 2: problem - a question raised for consideration or solution
- Sense 3: trouble, problem - a source of difficulty

In WordNet, sense 3 (trouble, problem) is defined as "a source of difficulty" with examples like "one trouble after another delayed the job" and "what's the problem?"

Sense 1 is "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved."

When we say "crime is a problem," in the context of a country facing issues, crime is typically viewed as a difficulty or trouble that exists.

But actually, looking at the example "she and her husband are having problems" - this is about personal difficulties.

For a country, "crime is the biggest problem" - this could fit sense 1.

However, I want to check if there's a distinction between "problem" as a general issue vs. a specific source.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "cite crime... as the most important problem"

Crime is a phenomenon. Is it a "state of difficulty" or a "source of difficulty"?

I think both could work, but sense 1 is the broader, more common sense for social issues like crime and unemployment being "problems" facing a society.

Let me reconsider sense 3. The example "one trouble after another" suggests multiple specific instances. But crime is a general category.

Also, sense 2 is clearly wrong because it's not a question or homework exercise.

So it's between 1 and 3.

Looking at the definition of sense 1 again: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
- Crime is indeed a state of difficulty (the state of there being crime) that needs to be resolved.

Looking at sense 3: "a source of difficulty"
- Crime is a source of difficulty for citizens.

But in the context of the sentence, "the most important problem facing their country," the word "facing" suggests that the country is confronted with this difficulty. This aligns with sense 1 (a state of difficulty).

Also, in survey contexts, when people identify an issue as a "problem," they typically mean it's a difficulty or issue that needs to be addressed (sense 1).

I think the answer is 1.

But I want to check one more time. Could it be sense 3?

If the sentence were "Crime is causing problems," then "problems" would be sense 1 or 3 (the difficulties caused). But here, crime itself is identified as the problem.

When X is identified as "a problem," and X is something like crime, unemployment, or inflation, this is typically sense 1.

For example: "Inflation is a serious problem for the economy" - this is sense 1.

Sense 3 would be more like: "The problem with this plan is that it costs too much" - where "problem" refers to the specific difficulty or flaw.

Actually, looking at the WordNet entry for problem:
1. problem, job -- (a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved; "she and her husband are having problems"; "it is always a job to contact him"; "urban problems such as traffic congestion and smog")
2. problem -- (a question raised for consideration or solution; "our homework consisted of ten problems to solve")
3. trouble, problem -- (a source of difficulty; "one trouble after another delayed the job"; "what is the trouble?"; "heart trouble")

Wait, looking at sense 1 in WordNet, the examples include "urban problems such as traffic congestion and smog."

This is very similar to the sentence: "cite crime... as the most important problem facing their country."

Traffic congestion and smog are similar to crime - they're social issues/conditions.

So the answer is definitely 1.

The example "urban problems such as traffic congestion and smog" in the WordNet definition for sense 1 makes it clear that crime as a social issue falls under sense 1.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their <t>country</t> (see chart 5).

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

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

 Let me analyze the sentence: "For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their <t>country</t> (see chart 5)."

 The key phrase is "their country" referring to the nation or state that the respondents belong to. The respondents are citing problems facing their nation/state.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the political entity, the state/government.
 2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - This refers to the land/territory itself.
 3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - This refers to the population/citizens.
 4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - This is the rural meaning.
 5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This is a general region/area.

 In the sentence, "their country" refers to the nation-state that the respondents belong to. It's referring to the political entity or the nation as a whole.

 Looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 example: "the state has elected a new president" - refers to the political body
 - Sense 2 example: "he returned to the land of his birth" - refers to the territory/land
 - Sense 3 example: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - refers to the people

 In the sentence "problems facing their country", this is most similar to sense 1 (the political entity) or possibly sense 2 (the territory). But typically when we talk about problems facing a country (like crime, unemployment), we're referring to the political/social entity - the nation as an organized body.

 However, looking closely at sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this emphasizes the government/political structure.

 Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - emphasizes the land.

 Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - emphasizes the population.

 In the context "problems facing their country", this usually means the nation as a whole - the political entity. But let me think about which sense fits best.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - this treats country/state as the political entity.

 For sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth" - this is about the physical place.

 For sense 3: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - this is about the people.

 In the given sentence, "the most important problem facing their country" - this refers to the nation as a political and social entity. But which numbered sense is this?

 Sense 1 seems to be the closest match: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". When we say problems facing a country, we mean the nation-state.

 However, I should also consider if it could be sense 2 (the territory). But "problems facing the territory" sounds less natural than "problems facing the nation."

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions, "country" often means:
 1. A nation or state (political entity)
 2. The territory of a nation
 3. The people of a nation
 4. Rural areas

 In the sentence, respondents are talking about problems facing their nation. This aligns with sense 1.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country". Could "facing their country" mean facing their people? That seems like a stretch. We usually say "facing the country" meaning the nation as a whole, not specifically the people.

 Sense 1 is the best fit: the politically organized body. The problems (crime, unemployment) are problems of the nation-state.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 1 again: "the state has elected a new president" - this shows sense 1 is about the political entity/government.

 And sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - the land.

 In many contexts, "country" can mean the nation (sense 1) or the land (sense 2). But when we say "problems facing their country", we typically mean the nation as a political and social unit.

 However, I want to be careful. Let me look at the exact wording of sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"

 And sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country"

 The phrase "their country" in the sentence refers to the nation that the respondents belong to. This is most accurately sense 1 or possibly sense 2.

 But looking at the example for sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth" - this emphasizes the physical territory.

 The example for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - emphasizes the political entity.

 When we talk about "problems facing the country" like crime and unemployment, these are socio-economic problems of the nation, which aligns with sense 1 (the political entity) or sense 3 (the people).

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet or similar sense inventories (which this appears to be based on):

 Sense 1: nation, land, country - a politically organized body of people under a single government
 Sense 2: country, state, land - the territory occupied by a nation
 Sense 3: country, nation - the people who live in a nation or country
 Sense 4: country, rural area - an area outside of cities and towns
 Sense 5: area, country - a particular geographical region...

 In the sentence "problems facing their country", this is ambiguous between sense 1 (the state) and sense 2 (the land) and sense 3 (the people). But the most common interpretation is sense 1 - the nation as a political entity.

 However, looking at the specific context: "respondents across Latin America... their country" - this clearly refers to the respective nations that the respondents come from.

 I think the answer is 1.

 But let me double-check. Could it be sense 2? "The territory occupied by a nation" - problems facing the territory? That doesn't sound right. We don't usually say unemployment is a problem facing the territory; we say it's a problem facing the country (nation).

 Could it be sense 3? "The people who live in a nation" - problems facing the people? While crime and unemployment do affect the people, the phrase "facing their country" is metonymic - the country stands for the nation, not specifically the people.

 I believe sense 1 is correct.

 Wait, I should look at the exact wording again. The sentence says "the most important problem facing their country".

 In poll/survey contexts like this, "country" almost always refers to the nation-state (sense 1).

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "chart" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see <t>chart</t> 5)."

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

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is talking about poll results and refers to "chart 5". In this context, "chart" refers to a visual representation of data or information, likely a graph, diagram, or table showing the poll results.

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "a visual display of information" - this would include bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, etc., used to display statistical data from polls.

Sense 2 refers to nautical or aeronautical charts (maps), which is clearly not what is meant here. The context is about poll data and statistics, not navigation.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

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

 Sentence: "Some 31% say that either they or a close <t>relative</t> have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

 The word "relative" in this context refers to a family member or someone related by blood or marriage.

 Looking at the senses:
 1. definition=a person related by blood or marriage | examples=police are searching for relatives of the deceased
 2. definition=an animal or plant that bears a relationship to another (as related by common descent or by membership in the same genus)

 In the sentence, "a close relative" clearly refers to a human family member (related by blood or marriage), not an animal or plant. So sense 1 is the correct answer.

 I should return only the number.

Sentence: Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been <t>victims</t> of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995.

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

Sentence: "Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been <t>victims</t> of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

Senses:
1. definition=an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance
2. definition=a person who is tricked or swindled

Analyzing the sentence context:
- The word "victims" is followed by "of crime"
- The context is about people who have experienced crime
- Being a victim of crime typically means suffering from adverse circumstances (the crime itself)

Sense 1: "an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance" - This fits well with being a victim of crime. Crime is an adverse circumstance.

Sense 2: "a person who is tricked or swindled" - This is more specific to fraud/scams. While being tricked or swindled can be a crime, "victim of crime" is a broader term that encompasses all types of crimes, not just fraud. Also, sense 2 is too narrow for the general phrase "victims of crime" as used in the sentence.

The sentence refers generally to crime statistics, not specifically to being tricked or swindled. Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

The answer should be just the number "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: Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of <t>crime</t> over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "crime" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of <t>crime</t> over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

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

Let me analyze the context. The sentence talks about people being "victims of crime" over the past year, with statistics being tracked (31%, down from 38%, lowest since 1995). This sounds like it's referring to criminal acts that are recorded and punishable by law - things like theft, assault, etc. that would be reported in crime statistics.

Sense 1 refers to acts punishable by law, which aligns with the statistical tracking of crime rates/victimization surveys. This is the standard legal/statistical definition used when discussing crime rates and victimization statistics.

Sense 2 refers to "crimes of the heart" or moral wrongs not necessarily punishable by law. This is a more metaphorical or moral sense, not the statistical/legal one.

Given the context of percentages, statistics, and being a "victim" in a measurable way over time, this is clearly sense 1 - the legal definition of crime as an act punishable by law.

The answer should be "1".

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 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past <t>year</t>, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995.

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

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

 Sentence: "Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past <t>year</t>, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

 Let's analyze the context:
 - "over the past year" - this refers to a period of time containing approximately 365 days, the last 12 months from now.
 - "last year" - also refers to a calendar year or 12-month period
 - This is referring to a standard 365-day period.

 Now let's look at the senses:
 1. "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - This matches "the past year" which means the previous 12 months/365 days.
 2. "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - This would be like "school year" or "fiscal year", but the sentence doesn't specify a particular activity-based subdivision.
 3. "the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun" - This is an astronomical definition, not what's used here.
 4. "a body of students who graduate together" - This is "the year of graduating class", clearly not what's meant here.

 The phrase "over the past year" refers to a period of approximately 12 months/365 days. This is sense 1.

 Wait, let me double-check. Sense 2 mentions "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity". Is "past year" referring to a particular activity? No, it's just the last 12 months.

 "Last year" and "past year" in survey contexts usually refer to the previous 12 months or the previous calendar year, which fits sense 1 (365/366 days).

 So the answer should be 1.

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 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last <t>year</t> and is the lowest figure since 1995.

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

The sentence is: "Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last <t>year</t> and is the lowest figure since 1995."

The target word "year" appears in the phrase "last year".

Let me look at the 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

In the sentence, "last year" refers to the previous calendar year or a period of approximately 365 days. It's referring to the time period that has passed (the previous year).

Sense 1 seems to fit best: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days". The phrase "last year" typically refers to the calendar year immediately preceding the current one, which is a period of 365 or 366 days.

Sense 2 refers to specific activity periods like "school year" or "fiscal year", but here it's just "last year" in the context of crime statistics over time, referring to the calendar year.

Sense 3 is about astronomical orbital periods.

Sense 4 is about graduating classes.

So the answer should be 1.

Wait, let me double-check. The sentence mentions "over the past year" and "last year". Both refer to a 12-month period or the calendar year. This aligns with sense 1.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 1: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - this is the general sense of a year as a unit of time.

Sense 2 is more specific to particular activities (school year, tax year, etc.).

In the sentence, "last year" means the year immediately preceding the current one, which is sense 1.

The answer is 1.
