US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support.

reasoning_content:
We need perform WSD for lemma "amount" surface form "amount". Context sentence: "The rest of the <amount> was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units." We need choose among four senses:

1. amount%1:21:00:: definition a quantity of money; synonyms sum, sum of money, amount of money; examples he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient.
2. amount%1:07:00:: definition relative magnitude with reference to criterion; examples an adequate amount of food for four people.
3. amount%1:03:00:: definition how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify; synonyms measure, quantity.
4. amount%1:09:00:: definition a quantity obtained by addition of a group of numbers; synonyms sum, total.

We need decide. Context: "Bank of America repaid support ... in the amount USD 45 billion ... Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty". The target "the amount" refers to the total repayment amount (USD 45 billion), specifically the remaining portion of the sum of money. It seems a quantity of money. Sense 1 is a quantity of money. It could also sense 3 generic quantifiable thing, but here money. Sense 4 is "quantity obtained by addition of a group of numbers" maybe because amount is a total? But phrase "the rest of the amount was taken"—amount = sum of money. Sense 1 examples: "the amount he had in cash was insufficient" matches money. Should select sense_key 1 (index 1). But let's examine WordNet senses more carefully to ensure correct mapping. Amount has noun senses: (1) a quantity of money; "he borrowed a large sum"; "the amount he had in cash was insufficient" -> amount%1:21:00::? Yes noun.artifact? 1:21 is noun possession maybe. (2) the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion; "an adequate amount of food for four people" -> amount%1:07:00:: (noun attribute? 07). (3) how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify; synonyms measure, quantity -> amount%1:03:00:: (noun quantity?). (4) a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers; "the figure was about the mean for a year"; sum, total -> amount%1:09:00:: (noun cognition? 09).

Context: "repaid ... in the amount USD 45 billion" — amount as a quantity of money. Later "rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty" refers to money. So sense 1 fits. But one might argue the whole amount (USD 45bn) could be sum/total (sense 4) because it was a quantity obtained by adding USD 19bn raised plus rest from kitty? The rest of the amount (i.e., the remaining sum) was taken from own funds. The amount itself is a quantity of money, not necessarily a sum of group of numbers. WordNet sense 4 examples are sum/total; often "the total amount" is total = amount. But sense 1 is specifically money. Given lexical unit "amount" with monetary sum, best is sense 1. Need output JSON only.

But check instructions: "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key." "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." So output {"sense_index": 1}.

Let's ensure nothing else. The target surface form is "amount". Sentence context: Bank of America repaid support in the amount USD 45 billion; raised some USD 19 billion from investors; the rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty. "amount" could refer to "sum" of money. Example provided for sense 1: "the amount he had in cash was insufficient". Yes.

Also note candidate senses order as listed 1,2,3,4. We just need single best indexed sense. Use index from list (1-based?). They show examples like {"sense_index": 3}. So index is position in list. So 1. Ensure JSON only.

reasoning_content:
We need answer as JSON only with sense_index. Need determine best WordNet sense for 'sale' in sentence: "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the <t>sale</t> of business units." Here sale of business units means selling business units/divestitures. Which sense? Candidate senses:
1. a particular instance of selling: "he has just made his first sale". Could be sale of business units as a particular instance? It refers to the act/event of selling some units. The phrase "the sale of business units" often denotes the activity of selling, or transaction(s). In WordNet, sale%1:04:00:: "a particular instance of selling". It is a noun event. sale%1:04:02:: "the general activity of selling" uncountable. sale%1:10:00:: "an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred..." sales agreement.

We need choose best indexed sense. The context: kitty well filled through the sale of business units. This means by selling business units. It could be activity of selling (sense 2) because uncountable "sale" in "the sale of business units" often refers to the selling activity. However "a particular instance of selling" might also fit. Let's analyze WordNet senses carefully.

WordNet senses for sale:
- Sense 1: a particular instance of selling; "he has just made his first sale; they had to complete the sale before the banks closed" (countable). The sale of business units can be understood as a particular instance(s) or transaction(s) of selling.
- Sense 2: the general activity of selling; "they tried to boost sales; laws limit the sale of handguns". This is the activity sense. In "the sale of handguns" matches "the sale of business units" and is sense 2. WordNet examples include "laws limit the sale of handguns". That's identical structure: the sale of [goods]. This indicates general activity, often with "of" complement. So sense 2 seems best.
- Sense 3: cut-rate sale. Not context.
- Sense 4: for sale / on sale (state of being purchasable). Not.
- Sense 5: sales agreement. Not.

So sense 2 likely. But maybe because business units sold could be plural instances, "sale of business units" as general activity. The example "laws limit the sale of handguns" is definitely sense 2. The phrase "through the sale of business units" = by means of the activity of selling. So index 2.

We need respond only JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 2}.

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

The context is about financial institutions: Citigroup, Bank of America, Kenneth Lewis (head of Bank of America), financial crisis, taking over Merrill Lynch.

The target "bank" here refers to Bank of America, which is a financial institution.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. slope beside water - no
2. a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels money into lending activities - yes, this fits Bank of America
3. long ridge or pile - no
4. arrangement of similar objects - no
5. supply or stock held in reserve - no
6. gambling funds - no
7. slope in road/track - no
8. container for money at home - no
9. bank building - no, it's referring to the institution, not the building
10. flight maneuver - no

The best sense is sense 2: a financial institution. Even though the surface form is "bank" and it's part of "Bank of America," the antecedent is the institution itself. The phrase "The bank overstretched" refers to Bank of America the financial institution.

So the answer is {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
The user is asking me to do Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "crisis" in a given context. I need to choose between two senses:

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

The context is about the financial crisis, specifically: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."

This is clearly referring to the financial crisis as an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty in the economic/financial system. The phrase "financial crisis" is a common collocation referring to economic instability.

The first sense example explicitly mentions "economic crisis" and bankruptcy, which matches perfectly with the context of banks, financial instability, etc.

The second sense is more about a turning point in a process or medical situation (the example mentions a patient either dying or getting better), which doesn't fit the financial context.

So the best sense is index 1.

I need to return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. Since the correct index is 1, I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

We need answer WSD for lemma investment. Surface form investment appears in phrase "investment bank Merrill Lynch". Need choose best indexed sense from candidate senses list. Senses numbered 1-6; those map to tokens. Sense1: act of investing. Sense2: money invested. Sense3: commitment of something other than money. Sense4: outer layer/covering. Sense5: putting on robes. Sense6: investiture/ceremonial act. In phrase "investment bank", what sense of investment? It denotes bank engaged in investments (act or money). WordNet? For "investment bank" as compound, investment is attributive noun modifying bank. The bank of investment; probably money that is invested? Actually an investment bank is a financial institution that assists corporations and governments in raising capital and provides advisory services; it underwrites securities. It is a bank dealing with investments (money invested). In WordNet, compound investment bank maybe not handled, but WSD asks sense of target word in context. We need pick single best indexed sense. "investment" as noun before bank. The phrase refers to Merrill Lynch being an investment bank. Definition of investment bank does not appear in WordNet. Which sense applies? Could be sense 1 (act of investing) or sense 2 (money that is invested). In an investment bank, the word investment refers to assets/funds or to investing activity? Let's inspect synonyms/e.g. sense1 = investing (the act of investing); sense2 = investment funds (money invested with expectation of profit). For investment bank, it deals with raising money/capital, not the bank itself being money. But the word "investment" modifies bank. In N+N compounds, semantic relation: bank for investments, bank dealing in investments. The sense of investment there is likely the financial asset (money invested), i.e., investment funds sense 2. Many collocations: "investment banker" likely gloss associated with "the business of raising capital" maybe act sense1? Let's consider WordNet examples/hyponyms. WordNet sense for investment_bank? It might be noun as a type of bank, maybe "investment bank" listed. But target lemma is investment. In WordNet entries, compound terms attached to investment? Could be financial senses 1,2,3. Which is best? Sentence: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch." Need choose sense. The phrase "investment bank" is a proper term. The word "investment" there is not "act" or "money" but denotes the kind of bank. In such attributive use, the meaning of investment is often classified by WordNet? WordNet likely has no specific sense for nominal modifier. We need decide between act and money. Can examine synonyms: investment bank is also called "merchant bank". Would dictionary define investment bank as "a financial institution that underwrites and trades securities and advises corporations"? The word "investment" meaning "the investing of money". Hmm.

From a linguistic point, "investment bank" is a bank concerned primarily with the investment of money. That is the act of investing, sense 1 (investing). Because an investment bank is not a pile of money, but an institution that facilitates investing. But in common paraphrase, an investment bank is a bank that deals in investments (securities). The type of bank is "investment (activity) bank". WSD might map to sense 1.

Let's examine actual WordNet data: For word investment noun senses:
- noun. act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit
- noun. money that is invested with an expectation of profit
- noun. commitment of something other than money...
- noun. outer layer...
- noun. the act of putting on robes or vestments
- noun. investment: the ceremonial act...
I recall WordNet also includes "investment funds" as noun 2 and "investment" noun can be used in compound "investment company", "investment trust" perhaps with sense 2? Let's search memory: WordNet for investment trust: noun a company that invests and trades in securities; often synonyms: closed-end fund. But in those compounds, the word investment refers to "money that is invested"? Actually "investment company" = a company that invests in stocks and bonds of other companies. So the head "company" performs the act. The relation: company for investment (money). In WordNet, related to "investment" sense? It might not matter because we need choose sense of target only.

Question: "the <t>investment</t> bank Merrill Lynch." Not "investment" as standalone head. Since candidate senses include act and money, we need best. Let's try to infer likely gold standard from previously annotated corpus (SemCor, WSD evaluations). Target "investment" in phrase "investment bank" might have a known sense annotation. Perhaps in WaCk? Let's recall from results: In news text, "investment bank" annotated as sense 2 (money that is invested) maybe. Actually maybe WordNet uses sense "investment" for attributive in "investment adviser" etc? We can try to find by memory: The "investment trust" is noun "money that is invested"? An investment trust is a company whose business is holding securities. The word investment in "investment trust" refers to its assets, not activity. The Collins: investment bank: a bank that deals in investment, meaning in the buying and selling of investments and in raising finance. The plural "investments" is sense 2 (money/assets bought to generate income). Investment bank = a bank that buys, sells, and manages investments. That aligns with sense2 (money invested)? But a bank that manages money that is invested. Hmm.

Which index to choose? We must output JSON {"sense_index": X}. No explanation.

Let's deeply reason. We may also query wordnet examples and synset relations mentally. Sense1 act of investing:
Examples might be: "the act of investing money or capital in an enterprise with expectation of profit"; hyponyms: arbitrage, foreign direct investment, leveraging, etc.
Sense2 money:
Examples maybe: "he made an emotional investment". Actually examples list in prompt: sense1 synonyms investing; sense2 synonyms investment funds; sense3 examples: job calls for investment of hard thinking. Definition for sense2: money that is invested with expectation of profit.
In sentence, "investment bank Merrill Lynch". The term investment bank is a noun phrase. "Investment" functions as modifier. The WSD of modifier in a conventional compound often selects the sense that fits the compound meaning; evaluation might use "most frequent" (estimate). If the corpus is financial news, "investment bank" very common. In training data, annotators might choose sense1? Let's look for SemCor sentences with "investment". Example: "an Atomic Energy Commission report said that investment in a full-scale plant by 1963 could bring about annual savings ..." In that "investment" as subject is sense1 (act) or sense2 (money)? The sentence says investment in a plant could bring savings; it's money or act. SemCor annotation for investment there could be sense1. Actually atomic energy "investment" (act of investing) more likely.

For "investment bank", I can try to search memory of WordNet gloss for "investment bank" if exists. WordNet 3.1 has synset for investment bank? Let's recall: noun "investment bank" under bank? hyponym of depository financial institution? Definition: "a financial institution that acts as an intermediary between corporations and investors in raising funds, often underwriting securities." It is in WordNet as an instance? Actually "investment bank" might be a noun phrase but not a compound? I'm not sure. WordNet definitely contains "commercial bank", "savings bank", "investment bank" maybe as a type of bank. But target lemma investment, so ignores.

Given "investment bank" referring to Merrill Lynch, what does the word investment mean? Let's unpack semantic relation via paraphrases.
- A bank for investment vs an investment bank. If investment is money, then it's a bank for invested funds (i.e., manages funds) - yes plausible.
- If investment is act, then it's a bank that facilitates investing - also plausible.
In compounds like "investment company", an investment company is defined as a company that invests and trades in securities; it "invests money," so it relates to activity. But the name investment company often refers to a company whose purpose is "investment" (act). Example WordNet: "investment company" isn't composed of investment sense? It may be under investment trust.

Which sense applies to "investment bank" specifically? Let's look at definitions from financial dictionaries:
Investopedia: An investment bank is a financial intermediary that performs a variety of services: underwriting, acting as an intermediary between a securities issuer and the investing public, facilitating mergers and acquisitions. The word "investment" in IB pertains to raising capital and providing advisory, i.e., the act of investing (capital deployment) by corporations/investors.
Merriam-Webster: A bank dealing especially in the investment of funds of customers. Here funds = money invested. So IB is a bank dealing in the investment of funds. The bank invests customers' funds. The word "investment" is a nominalization of the act of investing money, but the phrase refers to the bank dealing in the investment of funds. If forced to choose between act and money, the bank deals in the act? Not exactly, it deals in the investment of funds. The funds are money invested; the act is what it does. Hmm.

Let's check existing WSD datasets. In OntoNotes maybe sense for "investment" includes ACTIVITY and MONEY but annotation of "investment bank" might be ACTIVITY? I don't know. Could think: In WordNet, "investment bank" (noun) might be defined as "a bank that deals in commercial loans and investment funds"? The word investment in the compound maybe tokenized as "investment_bank" and in WSD, it might pick sense 2 because the compound is a noun meaning a bank for investment (money). But this is speculation.

Let's consider synonyms: investment bank has synonym "merchant bank". Merchant bank definitions: a bank dealing in commercial loans and financing? Investment bank not exactly merchant bank in US. Could be "securities firm". The term "investment" there relates to raising capital (sale of securities), not the bank itself being money.

But perhaps the task is from a standard dataset where "investment bank" is context and correct answer is sense 1 (the act of investing) because investment banks are institutions that engage in investing activities. Need to decide.

We can examine how noun compounds formed from deverbal nouns like "investment bank". The noun "investment" derived from verb "invest" meaning "lay out money" or "commit resources". In "investment bank", the first noun refers to the activity or domain ( investing). Compare "investment advisor": an advisor who advises on investments. Sense could be act or money. Compare "investment funds": clearly money. "Investment income": income from invested money, so money. "Investment opportunity": opportunity to invest; maybe act. "Investment decision": decision about investing; act. "Investment bank": bank that carries on investment business; act probably.

Given that "investment bank" is a well-known term where "bank" is a financial institution; the bank's primary role is to arrange financing/investing, so "investment" is the business line, which corresponds to act of investing sense 1 (investing). Thus I'd choose 1.

But wait, WordNet sense2 synonyms "investment funds" is a mass noun for money. In an "investment bank," does one deposit investments? No. It is not "a bank for investment funds" in the way "investment club" = a group of people who invest money together. Actually an investment club's purpose is to invest money; the word investment is activity. Investment banker: a banker who works in investment banking; activity.

I lean sense 1. However, there may be a subtlety: "the investment bank Merrill Lynch" could be considered a proper term in WordNet (investment bank) and the word investment in this compound might be annotated with sense 2 (money) because "investment bank" = a bank that invests money? Let's search memory of WSD of noun compounds. In SemCor, nominal modifier sense can be tricky. For example "bank building" etc. But I don't recall.

Let'stry think of WordNet's "investment bank" entry, if any. WordNet might not have "investment bank" as single synset. But it may have "investment firm" = "a financial institution that funds and supervises and manages a group of investments." It could be "investment company". If present, compounds with "investment" as modifier are not treated as separate senses; the word "investment" in such compounds must be assigned a normal sense. Which sense did WordNet assign in creating compounds? Typically Lexicographers want something like "investment bank" under bank/financial institution, with investment as noun adjunct. They wouldn't create a separate sense but collocations. In WordNet, there are lexical entries for phrase "investment bank"? There's an entry for "investment banker" maybe: "a banker who deals in investments". Might have "investment firm": a financial institution that sells investment. These are collocations.

Let's inspect WordNet mentally for "investment" noun relations. There may be derivationally related form "invest" verb. Also pertainyms: None.

Could be a hypernym relation between sense1 and sense2: sense1 act; sense2 money. The sentence context uses "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch" - a bank, not an act or money. The word investment is attributive. Both senses possible but one is better.

We can maybe use distribution of "investment bank" synonyms: "merchant bank" with lexical chain: "merchant" is a person, "bank" institution, "investment bank" maybe a type of nondepository financial institution. WordNet definition for merchant bank? Let me recall: "a bank that deals in commercial loans and investment funds"? Actually merchant bank historically: "a financial institution that provides capital to companies in the form of share ownership instead of loans; originally a bank that accepted and discounted bills of exchange for merchants." In WordNet, merchant bank is a term.

If no strong evidence from glosses, maybe choose by frequency/prevalence. In financial contexts, "investment" noun often is money invested sense2 when preceded by "the" and followed by "of"? But as modifier act.

What about examples from the prompt: Sense1 synonyms "investing", sense3 examples non-financial. No examples for sense2. Definitions. The word "investment bank" could be paraphrased as "a bank engaged in investing". That's exactly sense1 synonyms. It aligns directly with sense1. Because "investing" bank vs "investment funds" bank. So sense1 is best.

Thus output {"sense_index": 1}.

Need ensure return exactly JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}, no explanation. Final.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "bank" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target surface form is "bank" within the phrase "investment bank Merrill Lynch". The full sentence is: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment <t>bank</t> Merrill Lynch."

Merrill Lynch is a well-known financial/investment bank. In this context, "investment bank" refers to a type of financial institution that deals with securities, mergers, acquisitions, etc.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. bank%1:17:01:: - sloping land - clearly wrong
2. bank%1:14:00:: - a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities - this fits "investment bank"
3. bank%1:17:00:: - a long ridge or pile - wrong
4. bank%1:14:01:: - an arrangement of similar objects - wrong
5. bank%1:21:00:: - a supply or stock held in reserve - wrong
6. bank%1:21:01:: - gambling funds - wrong
7. bank%1:17:02:: - road/track slope - wrong
8. bank%1:06:01:: - container for money (piggy bank) - wrong
9. bank%1:06:00:: - a building in which banking is transacted - this is the physical building
10. bank%1:04:00:: - flight maneuver - wrong

The context is explicitly about financial institutions: Citigroup, Bank of America, US taxpayer cash injection, financial crisis, investment bank Merrill Lynch.

The phrase "investment bank" refers to a financial institution, not a physical building. Merrill Lynch is an investment banking firm/company. So sense 2 (financial institution) is more appropriate than sense 9 (physical building).

In WordNet, bank%1:14:00:: represents the financial institution sense, while bank%1:06:00:: represents the physical building. The phrase "investment bank" almost always refers to the institution/company type, not a building.

Therefore, the best sense is index 2.

We need answer only JSON with sense_index. Need disambiguate "state" in context: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state." This refers to US government? Liabilities with the state = government obligations? WordNet senses: 1 province/district; 2 condition; 3 group of people comprising government of sovereign state; 4 politically organized body of people under single government; 5 chemistry; 6 emotional state; 7 territory occupied by a nation; 8 State Department.

Here "the state" likely means the government/authorities, not a country territory. Which of 3 or 4? Definition 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state". Examples: "the state has lowered its income tax". Definition 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" synonyms nation/country. "the state has elected a new president". In phrase "liabilities with the state", meaning obligations to the government, not nation as a whole. In US context, after bailout, liabilities with the government/Treasury? The "state" here as governing entity. In WordNet, sense 3 is the group of people comprising the government, sense 4 is the entire politically organized body (country). Which is more apt? "free itself from its liabilities with the state" = obligations to the US government. That aligns sense 3: the government as group of people. But common synecdoche "state" for country? Yet "liabilities with the state" in financial context means state (government) as a creditor. I think best sense_index = 3. Ensure output only JSON {"sense_index": 3}.

The user wants me to choose the best sense for the word "capital" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state."
- "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a <t>capital</t> increase of some USD 20 billion..."

The target word "capital" appears in the collocation "capital increase" in a financial context about banks raising money.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. capital%1:21:01 - assets available for use in the production of further assets (working capital)
2. capital%1:21:00 - wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
3. capital%1:15:00 - a seat of government
4. capital%1:10:00 - one of the large alphabetic characters (capital letter)
5. capital%1:15:01 - a center associated with some activity or product
6. capital%1:14:00 - the federal government of the United States
7. capital%1:10:01 - a book written by Karl Marx
8. capital%1:06:00 - the upper part of a column

"Capital increase" means an increase in the capital stock (equity) of a company. This refers to wealth/money owned by the business.

Sense 1 is "working capital" - assets available for use in production.
Sense 2 is "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business."

A "capital increase" (Kapitalerhöhung) in business/finance refers to raising equity capital - increasing the company's contributed capital/share capital. This aligns best with sense 2: "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business."

Sense 1 (working capital) is more specifically about operating liquidity/current assets, which doesn't fit "capital increase" in the sense of raising USD 20 billion by issuing shares.

The context is about banks raising money from investors, cash injections, etc. "Capital increase" is a financial/economic term referring to the increase in a company's equity capital.

So the best sense is sense 2: capital%1:21:00.

Wait, let me reconsider. In WordNet, the indexing is based on order in the candidate list. The user gives:
1. sense_key=capital%1:21:01::
2. sense_key=capital%1:21:00::

Sense 1 is capital%1:21:01:: (working capital)
Sense 2 is capital%1:21:00:: (wealth in the form of money or property...)

A "capital increase" in finance typically means an increase in share capital/equity capital. This is not specifically working capital (sense 1). It's more general capital as wealth/money owned by a business (sense 2).

Therefore, the best answer is sense 2.

But let me also consider if "capital market" earlier in the text affects anything. "Capital market" is a market for long-term funding. The target is specifically in "capital increase" though.

In a "capital increase," the company is increasing its capital (equity). This is sense 2.

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

reasoning_content:
This is a fine-grained Word Sense Disambiguation task. Let me analyze the context:

The sentence is: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital <t>increase</t> of some USD 20 billion..."

The context is about financial/banking. Citigroup announced a capital increase of about USD 20 billion. A capital increase in this context means an issuance of new shares or securities to raise additional capital. This is a specific financial event - the act of increasing the bank's capital.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. increase%1:23:00:: - "a quantity that is added" (synonyms: addition, gain) - examples mention property tax addition, cattle's gain. This seems less about the act and more about the quantity.

2. increase%1:11:00:: - "a change resulting in an increase" - This is about a change/event.

3. increase%1:22:00:: - "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" (synonyms: increment, growth) - examples: "the increase in unemployment; the growth of population". This is about a process.

4. increase%1:07:00:: - "the amount by which something increases" (synonyms: increment) - example: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". This is about the amount.

5. increase%1:04:00:: - "the act of increasing something" (synonyms: step-up) - example: "he gave me an increase in salary". This is about the act.

Now, "capital increase" is a specific financial term. In finance, a capital increase is when a company raises additional capital, typically by issuing new shares. The phrase "capital increase of some USD 20 billion" refers to the amount/value of the capital being raised.

The word "increase" here is modified by "capital" - a compound financial noun. It's the process/act of raising capital, but the specific phrase "capital increase of USD 20 billion" emphasizes the amount/value.

Let me think more carefully. In WordNet, "capital increase" as a phrase may have its own sense or may map to one of these.

Actually, looking at the examples:
- #1: "there was an addition to property taxes this year" - property tax addition
- #4: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" - amount of increase

In "capital increase of some USD 20 billion", the USD 20 billion specifies the amount of capital that is being increased (the amount by which capital increases). This seems closest to sense 4: "the amount by which something increases".

But wait - "capital increase" is often a count noun referring to the financial transaction/event itself. A company announces a "capital increase" - this is the act of raising capital. This would point to sense 5: "the act of increasing something".

However, the phrase "capital increase of some USD 20 billion" could be interpreted both ways. The USD 20 billion tells us the size/amount. Compare to:
- "an increase of 15 percent in the fare" (sense 4)
- "he gave me an increase in salary" (sense 5)

The structure "increase of [amount]" is used in both. In "increase of 15 percent", this clearly refers to the amount (sense 4). In "capital increase of USD 20 billion", the USD 20 billion is the amount of the increase.

I think the best sense is sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" because the USD 20 billion quantifies the amount. But sense 5 "the act of increasing something" is also plausible because "capital increase" is an event/act.

Let me reconsider. In financial contexts:
- "capital increase" = an increase in the capital stock of a company, often via issuing new shares
- This is a countable event - it's an act/action

The WordNet sense 5: "the act of increasing something" with synonym "step-up" seems to fit an act. The example "he gave me an increase in salary" is also an act.

Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" - this refers to the magnitude.

In "The bank announced a capital increase of USD 20 billion" - are they announcing:
(a) the action of raising that capital, or
(b) the amount by which capital will increase?

In common financial parlance, a "capital increase" is the corporate action/event. So sense 5 is most appropriate.

However, WordNet's sense 4 example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" is structurally very similar to "announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion". In both, "increase of X" where X is an amount/percentage acts as the amount.

Let me think about the specific semantic nuance. If a company announces a "capital increase of USD 20 billion", they could be announcing the action or the amount. But a "capital increase" as a financial term is an event/action - they are announcing that they will raise/increase capital by that amount.

But look at sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase" - could also fit as a financial change.

And sense 1: "a quantity that is added" - the USD 20 billion is the quantity added.

Hmm. Let me think about how WordNet would classify "capital increase".

Actually, I should consider that the target surface form is "capital increase" as a phrase where "increase" is the head noun. But the task is WSD for the target lemma "increase" in this context.

The key distinguishing feature:
- "capital increase of USD 20 billion" is the bank's act of raising capital. This is an intentional, planned corporate action.
- The USD 20 billion measures the scale of this action.

I think sense 5 (the act of increasing something) is the most appropriate because the whole phrase "capital increase" refers to the corporate action of raising capital. This is an act performed by the bank.

However, if we focus on "of USD 20 billion" as specifying magnitude, sense 4 might appeal. But the subject is "The US bank" and the verb is "announce" - banks announce actions/plans, not just amounts in isolation.

Let me look again at all definitions and examples:

1. a quantity that is added - there was an addition to property taxes this year; they recorded the cattle's gain in weight...
2. a change resulting in an increase - the increase is scheduled for next month
3. a process of becoming larger... - the increase in unemployment; the growth of population
4. the amount by which something increases - they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. the act of increasing something - he gave me an increase in salary

Sense 5: "the act of increasing something" - In corporate finance, a capital increase is definitively an act (a corporate action). The act of increasing the capital by issuing new shares.

The example for sense 4 "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" - this could also be viewed as the amount. The "15 percent" is a rate/percentage measuring the amount.

For "capital increase of USD 20 billion", the USD 20 billion is the amount. But the phrase "capital increase" is the action.

In WordNet, I think this maps most closely to sense 5 because:
- It's an intentional act by the bank (announce = disclose an intended corporate action)
- "Capital increase" as a financial term is an action
- The phrase "capital increase" commonly denotes the action of raising additional capital

But I want to double-check the actual WordNet sense distinctions. In WordNet, increase%1:04:00:: is "the act of increasing something" and increase%1:07:00:: is "the amount by which something increases".

In "capital increase of USD 20 billion," semantically, the USD 20 billion is the amount. But the phrase "capital increase" itself refers to the action. The amount phrase modifies the noun.

Think about it: if I say "The company announced a dividend increase of 10 cents per share" - the "increase" is the act of raising the dividend; "of 10 cents" tells us by how much. This would be sense 5 (act), not sense 4 (amount).

By analogy, "capital increase of USD 20 billion" is the act of increasing capital; "of USD 20 billion" tells us by how much. So sense 5.

But wait, in Sense 4's example: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" - the fare increase is arguably an act (proposal to raise the fare), but WordNet categorized it as amount #4. So the same structure can map to amount.

This is genuinely ambiguous. Let me think about which is the "single best" by considering more context.

The context says Citigroup plans to "raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state" and "was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion." The overall discourse is about raising/borrowing/injecting cash. This is about corporate actions - acts of raising capital.

"A capital increase" in this context means an issuance. It's an event/action.

Also, "capital increase" is a well-established term in corporate finance meaning a corporate action to raise additional capital.

I'll go with sense 5 as the best fit.

Actually, let me reconsider once more. WordNet sense 5: "the act of increasing something; 'he gave me an increase in salary'". The synonym is "step-up". This is about the act.

But the example "he gave me an increase in salary" - here "increase" can be interpreted as the amount (the raise amount) too. But categorized as act.

For "capital increase of USD 20 billion," I think the dominant interpretation in this financial context is the act/event. So sense 5.

Final answer: {"sense_index": 5}

 Let me analyze this carefully.

 We're doing WSD for "circles" in the context:
 "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to <t>circles</t>."

 This is a German-to-English translation or a text about finance. The phrase "reported CNBC with reference to circles" means that CNBC reported this information, citing sources or people in certain circles (i.e., within an unofficial association of people or groups, likely inside sources, industry insiders).

 Let me look at the candidate senses:

 1. Ellipse/geometric shape - doesn't fit in this financial reporting context.
 2. An unofficial association of people or groups/synonyms set, band, lot - this fits! "With reference to circles" means referring to sources within certain circles (insider groups, perhaps banking circles, government circles, etc.).
 3. Something approximating the shape of a circle - doesn't fit.
 4. Movement once around a course - doesn't fit.
 5. Traffic circle - doesn't fit.
 6. Street name for drug - doesn't fit.
 7. Dress circle in theater - doesn't fit.
 8. Circular or rotating mechanism - doesn't fit.

 The sense is clearly 2: "an unofficial association of people or groups" with synonyms set, band, lot. The phrase "circles" here is used in the sense of "in certain circles" or "with reference to circles" meaning referring to particular groups of people (likely insiders familiar with the matter).

 Looking at example: "the smart set goes there; they were an angry lot" - these match the unofficial association sense.

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

 We need answer single JSON object with sense_index. Need choose among candidate senses for target word support in sentence: "Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their support in June." Context about banks repaying government aid/support. The noun "support" presumably financial support provided by the state/TARP. Candidate 11: financial resources provided to make some project possible; synonyms financial support, funding, backing, financial backing; examples "the foundation provided support for the experiment". That fits best: repaid financial support (state support). Candidate 1 is activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying money or necessities; e.g., his support kept family together. Candidate 6 is financial means whereby one lives (welfare/state support for living). But here "repaid their support" refers to money provided by state as aid, i.e., financial backing/support. Candidate 11 financial resources provided to make some project possible. However, business project could be "making possible" the banks' survival? Maybe candidate 1 supplies money. Which WordNet sense for "support" as in government support/financial aid? Let's examine senses.
sense_key=support%1:21:01:: definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible; syn financial support, funding, backing, financial backing. That's the project backing sense. Example foundation provided support for experiment. The government cash injection/TARP is financial resources provided to make project/bank operations possible; repaying their support = repaying the financial backing. Good.
sense_key=support%1:04:00:: aiding cause or policy/interests of: general support.
sense_key=support%1:09:00:: something providing immaterial assistance: public support/faith. Not financial.
Candidate 1: activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities. "his support kept the family together". This is more like maintenance/alimony/family support, not repayable loan/investment.
Candidate 6: the financial means whereby one lives (welfare). He applied to the state for support. Goldman repaid their support? Not exactly "living means" but could be. But support as aid in crisis is better candidate 11? Hmm, WordNet noun support has multiple money-related senses. Let's consider semantic nuances and WordNet indexing.
We need choose single best indexed sense. In WSD for "support" in sentence "repaid their support" referring to government financial aid: Is it sense 1 (activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities), sense 11 (financial resources provided to make some project possible), or sense 6 (the financial means whereby one lives).
Let's inspect WordNet senses. support%1:04:04:: definition "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities". Cast of support: "public funds saved the theatre from loss"; "support of the arts"; "his support kept family together". Sense maybe "patronage" not with repayment.
support%1:21:01:: is "financial support, funding, backing, financial backing". This matches repayment of funding/backing. Example "the foundation provided support for the experiment". Government support = financial backing. Repay their support = repay the funding/financial backing. So candidate 11.
But "financial resources provided to make some project possible" often used for "grant/support for research". In this context, the cash injection/support was used to help bank survive; "project" works broadly as "rescue/operation".
Candidate 1: "activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities" examples include "they gave him emotional support during difficult times" and "his support kept family together". This is more about maintenance sustenance; repaying can be repaying support? less likely.
Candidate 6 "the financial means whereby one lives" = livelihood; not about large corporations.
Thus answer index 11.
Need output only JSON {"sense_index": 11}.
