Context:
The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%. According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points. The wider Standard & Poor's 500 has itself advanced by 0.37% (4.06 points) to 1 106.41 points. Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year. The <t>trend</t> was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which "have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery", summarised Charles Schwab's analysts.

reasoning_content:
 We need do WSD for lemma trend, target surface. The candidates numbered 1-4. We must choose single best. Context financial, "the trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators" referring to market movement. The phrase "trend of the stock market" example is directly in sense 1 definition/examples. Let's analyze senses:
1. trend%1:15:02:: noun (lexicographer file 15 = quantity/attribute? Actually 1:15 is noun attribute? Definition: a general direction in which something tends to move. Synonyms=tendency. Examples: the shoreward tendency of the current; the trend of the stock market. This matches general directional movement in stock market. 3. trend%1:09:00:: definition: a general tendency to change (as of opinion). Synonyms drift, movement. Examples: not openly liberal but that is the trend of the book; a broad movement of the electorate to the right. This is about opinions evolving. Could fit "market opinion"? But target is "the trend" supporting market, likely the market trend. It says "The trend was supported by... economic indicators, which have contributed to improving market opinion..." The trend is the direction of the market. Could be sense 1 or 3. Both applicable? Let's parse WordNet senses. trend has four noun senses: "a general direction in which something tends to move" (1:15:02); "general line of orientation" (1:15:01); "a general tendency to change (as of opinion)" (1:09:00); "the popular taste at a given time" (1:09:02). Actually numbering and sense keys have order not necessarily index? Candidate 1 key trend%1:15:02:: but index 1; candidate 3 key trend%1:09:00:: index 3. In WordNet, noun sense indexes often as: 3 maybe "a general tendency to change (as of opinion)", 1 "a general direction in which something tends to move", 2 "general line of orientation", 4 "the popular taste at a given time". Not certain.
Need select best index among listed user numbering. In context, "the trend" means the tendency of the market to move upward (Dow gained etc). The example provided in sense 1 specifically "the trend of the stock market". That is most salient. The publication of indicators supports the trend (positive direction). Traffic volume weak and calm. This is a market trend. So index 1.
But must be careful: "trend" used as general tendency to change (as of opinion) might capture "market opinion in relation to robustness of economic recovery". However phrase "The trend was supported by ... indicators" refers to market's upward trend. Examples list "the trend of the stock market" under sense 1. Therefore answer {"sense_index": 1}.
Need only JSON object no hedging. Should ensure exact format.

The phrase "market opinion" means opinion of the securities markets/investors, or the world of commercial activity? Let's analyze.

1 relation%1:03:00:: abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together. General relation between two things. But phrase "in relation to" could be sense 1? WordNet relation has many senses. "in relation to" (with respect to) maybe corresponds to relation%1:03:00:: or relation%1:07? Actually candidate 1 is broad: abstraction ... two entities or parts together. "Market opinion in relation to robustness" = opinion concerning robustness; a connection between opinion and robustness. Could fit sense 1.

3 relative person no.

4 narration no.

5 law no.

6 mutual dealings or connections among persons or groups (usually plural international relations). Here singular, "in relation to" not mutual dealings.

2 sex no.

So 1 likely. But we must note candidate 1 definition lacks "in relation to". But context: "improving market opinion in relation to the robustness" means relation between market opinion and robustness. So sense 1.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "recovery" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The context is about the stock market and economic indicators. The specific sentence is: 'which "have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic <t>recovery</t>"'

So "recovery" here is used in the phrase "economic recovery," referring to the economy returning to a better/original state after a downturn.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=recovery%1:11:00:: | definition=return to an original state | examples=the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid
2. sense_key=recovery%1:22:00:: | definition=gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury | synonyms=convalescence, recuperation
3. sense_key=recovery%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost) | synonyms=retrieval

Sense 1 "return to an original state" with example "the recovery of the forest after the fire" - this fits economic recovery well, as the economy returns to its previous/state of growth after a recession/downturn.

Sense 2 is about healing after sickness/injury - this is the medical sense, which doesn't fit.

Sense 3 is about regaining/saving something lost - like data retrieval or recovering a lost item. This doesn't fit "economic recovery" as well as sense 1.

"Economic recovery" is a common collocation referring to the economy returning to a normal or previous state of health/growth after a period of decline. This matches sense 1 best.

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

I need to return only the JSON object.

These are calendar months. The index 1 synonyms calendar month. So best is 1.

According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points. The wider Standard & Poor's 500 has itself advanced by 0.37% (4.06 points) to 1 106.41 points. Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year. The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which "have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery", summarised Charles Schwab's analysts. In the United States, retail sales have increased by 1.3% in November, for the second month in a <t>row</t>, and far more than predicted. Moreover, the confidence of American consumers has clearly bounced back in December, to 73.4 against 67.4 the previous month, according to preliminary estimates from Michigan University's index.

reasoning_content:
The user is asking me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "row" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target surface form is "row" appearing in the phrase "for the second month in a row".

Let me look at the context:
- It's about retail sales in the United States increasing by 1.3% in November, "for the second month in a row"
- This means it increased for two consecutive months, one after another

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. row%1:14:00:: - an arrangement of objects or people side by side in a line (e.g., "a row of chairs") - This is the spatial/physical arrangement sense. Doesn't fit "month in a row".

2. row%1:10:00:: - an angry dispute (quarrel, words, run-in) - Not relevant.

3. row%1:17:00:: - a long continuous strip (usually running horizontally) - Geometric/spatial sense. Not relevant.

4. row%1:06:00:: - (construction) a layer of masonry - Not relevant.

5. row%1:14:01:: - a linear array of numbers, letters, or symbols side by side - Matrix/table sense. Not relevant.

6. row%1:07:00:: - a continuous chronological succession without an interruption; examples="they won the championship three years in a row" - This fits perfectly! "for the second month in a row" means two consecutive months in succession.

7. row%1:04:00:: - the act of rowing as a sport - Not relevant.

The answer is clearly sense 6, because "in a row" is an idiom meaning consecutively, uninterrupted succession, and the definition "a continuous chronological succession without an interruption" with the example "they won the championship three years in a row" matches exactly.

I need to return only a JSON object like {"sense_index":6}.

We have candidates with indices 1-10 as listed. Need map indices to sense_keys. Target surface rise. Context: dollar rise to a new two-month high against Euro. This is value/increase in price or value? "rise of the dollar" in currency exchange. Candidate senses:
1 growth in strength or number or importance. Dollar strength? rise could mean growth in strength.
2 act of changing location upward.
3 upward slope.
4 movement upward.

10 increase in price or value; synonyms advance; examples news caused a general advance on stock market.

Which is best? The dollar's value increased; exchange rate rise. In WordNet, rise%1:04:01:: definition increase in price or value, synonym advance. That seems apt: rise of the dollar = increase in value. Sense 1: growth in strength/number/importance: dollar rise as growth in strength maybe, but specifically value/price of currency is sense 10. Candidate 1 might be more abstract. The phrase "rise of the dollar" in financial markets is price/value. Also indices slowed by renewed rise of dollar, to a new two-month high against the Euro; high indicates exchange rate. So best is 10.

Context:
Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year. The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which "have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery", summarised Charles Schwab's analysts. In the United States, retail sales have increased by 1.3% in November, for the second month in a row, and far more than predicted. Moreover, the confidence of American consumers has clearly bounced back in December, to 73.4 against 67.4 the previous month, according to preliminary estimates from Michigan University's index. The indices have, however, been slowed by a renewed rise of the dollar, to a new two-month high against the Euro, which "puts downward <t>pressure</t> on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation", explained Owen Fitzpatrick from Deutsche Bank. Technology securities have thereby lost some ground.

We need answer JSON {"sense_index": 3} or appropriate. Need disambiguate target "pressure" in phrase "puts downward pressure on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation". This is financial/economic context: strong dollar exerts downward pressure on sectors. Which WordNet sense? Let's review senses.
1 pressure%1:19:00 physical force per unit area. Example compressed gas. Not likely though metaphorical force? "downward pressure" in economics is a metaphorical force. WordNet sense 2: a force that compels (abstract force). Example public brought pressure to bear on government. This is compelling force/influence. Sense 6: oppressive condition of physical/mental/social/economic distress. Sense 4: state of demanding notice/attention. Sense 1 is physical. In economics "puts downward pressure on prices/sectors" means causes them to decline; it's an abstract force. Which indexed sense best? WordNet sense 2 definition "a force that compels" could be "downward pressure on sectors". However sense 6 "oppressive condition of ... economic distress" maybe? Example "economic pressure". Let's parse. "a renewed rise of the dollar ... puts downward pressure on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation". Here pressure is something that pushes them down, not the condition of distress itself. It's a force/influence acting on sectors. Candidate sense 2 fits. Sense 1 physical unit area could be used metaphorically, but WordNet distinguishes physical vs abstract. The phrase "downward pressure" is common physical metaphor. The context of markets/currency: economic pressure often sense 6? Let's check WordNet semantics: pressure%1:26:01 = an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress. Example perhaps "the pressures of modern life". But "puts downward pressure on" is not describing a state of distress, but a causal force. sense 2 definition "a force that compels" with examples "the public brought pressure to bear on the government". That's the same construction "pressure to bear". "puts downward pressure on" matches sense 2. So best indexed sense 2.
Return only JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 2}. Need no extra text.

Context: The indices have, however, been slowed by a renewed rise of the dollar, to a new two-month high against the Euro, which "puts downward pressure on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic <t>situation</t>", explained Owen Fitzpatrick from Deutsche Bank.

Candidate senses:
1. situation%1:26:00:: - the general state of things; the combination of circumstances at a given time; synonyms=state of affairs; examples=the present international situation is dangerous; wondered how such a state of affairs had come about
2. situation%1:26:01:: - a condition or position in which you find yourself; synonyms=position; examples=the unpleasant situation (or position) of having to choose between two evils; found herself in a very fortunate situation

5. situation%1:04:00:: - a job in an organization; synonyms=position, post, berth, office, spot, billet; examples=he occupied a post in the treasury

The phrase in context is "economic situation". This refers to the overall/general state of economic conditions - the combination of circumstances at a given time. This matches sense 1: "the general state of things; the combination of circumstances at a given time".

The example "the present international situation is dangerous" is analogous to "the economic situation". The synonym "state of affairs" also fits.

Sense 2 is about personal condition/position, not applicable here.
Sense 3 is about a difficulty/problem, not the core meaning.
Sense 4 is physical position/site.
Sense 5 is a job.

So the best sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
The phrase "lost some ground" is an idiom meaning to lose progress, advantage, or position. In this financial context, technology securities have lost some ground means they have declined or lost position relative to others.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. Physical solid earth surface - no
2. Rational motive - no
3. Loose soft material - no
4. A relation providing foundation - no, though "footing" could be metaphorical
5. A position to be won or defended in battle - this fits metaphorically with "lost ground" meaning lost position/advantage
6. Background of scene - no
7. Soil/land for plants - no
8. Percept extending back of figure - no
9. Electrical ground - no
10. Art surface - no
11. Paint primer - no

Sense 5's examples include "they gained ground step by step; they fought to regain the lost ground" which matches exactly with "lost some ground" in the context. This is the metaphorical extension of battle position to competitive/financial situations.

So the answer is sense index 5.

2: yield%1:21:00:: 'the income or profit arising from...' synonyms return, issue, take... example average return 5%. This is financial return on bond. That's bond yields.
3: yield%1:06:00:: 'an amount of a product' synonyms fruit. Physical product. Not primary.
4: yield%1:23:00:: 'quantity of something created within period' synonyms output, production. example production was up. Could apply to production amount, like economic production. But context is percentage rate (yield rate), not quantity created; though yield is often return percentage. WordNet sense 2 is specifically income/return.

The indices have, however, been slowed by a renewed rise of the dollar, to a new two-month high against the Euro, which "puts downward pressure on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation", explained Owen Fitzpatrick from Deutsche Bank. Technology securities have thereby lost some ground. The bond market has fallen. Treasury 10-year bond yields have grown to 3.540% against 3.482% on Tuesday <t>evening</t>, and 30-year bond yields are at 4.497% against 4.492% the previous evening.

The user wants me to perform word sense disambiguation for the word "evening" in a specific context.

Context: "Treasury 10-year bond yields have grown to 3.540% against 3.482% on Tuesday evening, and 30-year bond yields are at 4.497% against 4.492% the previous evening."

The target word "evening" refers to the latter part of Tuesday (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall), and "the previous evening" also refers to the evening of the previous day.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. evening%1:28:00:: - the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall) | synonyms=eve, even, eventide
2. evening%1:28:01:: - a later concluding time period (metaphorical, like "the evening of the Roman Empire")
3. evening%1:28:02:: - the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way

In the context, "Tuesday evening" and "the previous evening" refer to a specific time of day - the latter part of the day. This is the literal, temporal sense of evening as a part of the day.

Sense 1 is the best fit because it refers to the latter part of the day. Sense 2 is metaphorical (declining period of something). Sense 3 refers to an evening spent in a special way, which doesn't fit here.

The answer should be in JSON format: {"sense_index": 1}

The instructions say "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key" and "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.
