reasoning_content:
The context: "it tracks changes in attitude across the region." A poll taken regularly tracks changes in attitude. This refers to differences/variations in attitudes over time — a relational difference between states before and after. Sense 2: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event" fits "changes in attitude" — the differences in attitudes over time. Sense 1 is an event of passing from one state to another. Sense 4 is result of alteration. "Tracks changes in attitude" = tracks how attitudes differ/vary over time. Best is sense 2.

Actually consider sense 1 vs 2. "Changes in attitude" commonly means alterations in attitude. Sense 1 definition: event that occurs when something passes from one state to another (alteration, modification). Example: "the change was intended to increase sales." Sense 2: relational difference between states before/after. "Tracks changes in attitude" — tracking differences between states over time. The poll compares attitudes across years, so it tracks relational differences between states. Sense 2 seems apt. Many WSD tasks: "change in attitude" often sense 2 (relational difference between states). I'll choose 2.

reasoning_content:
The context: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." So "things" refers to findings/results/aspects that stand out. It's a vaguely specified concern/matter? Or an entity not named specifically? Let's analyze.

The phrase "Two related things stand out in the results" means two notable findings/points/aspects. The following sentence "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood" indicates the things are findings/observations, i.e., matters/concerns, somewhat abstract.

Candidate 6: thing%1:09:02:: a vaguely specified concern; synonyms matter, affair; examples "several matters to attend to". Hmm "things stand out" = matters? Not exactly concern.

Candidate 12: a separate and self-contained entity — too generic.

Candidate 9: any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence; "the thing I like about her is..." — not quite.

Candidate 1: a special situation "this thing has got to end; it is a remarkable thing" — no.

Candidate 5: an event "a funny thing happened" — no.

The usage "Two related things stand out" — "things" is a general abstract noun referring to notable points/findings. WordNet sense thing%1:09:02 (matter, affair) "a vaguely specified concern" often used for "things" as in "things to discuss", matters. But here "stand out in the results" — findings are concerns/matters? Could be "a vaguely specified concern" = matters (several matters to attend to).

Actually the most fitting is sense 6 (thing%1:09:02, matter/affair): a vaguely specified concern. "Two related things stand out" ≈ two related matters/points are notable. Synonyms matter, affair fit: "two related matters stand out". Yes, that paraphrases well: "Two related matters stand out in the results." That's natural.

Sense 8 entity not named specifically is more concrete ("I couldn't tell what the thing was"). Sense 12 separate self-contained entity generic.

The best is index 6. Return JSON {"sense_index": 6}.

The target word is "second" in the context: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes..."

Here "second" refers to the second thing in an enumeration - coming next after the first. This matches sense 1: ordinal, coming next after the first in position.

Sense 2 is about music (second flute, second violins), which doesn't fit.

The answer is sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The user is asking for Word Sense Disambiguation of "stability" in the context. The sentence is: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."

This refers to attitudes becoming more enduring/consistent over time, less variable. Let's analyze the senses:

1. sense 1: the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast (stableness) - this is about firmness/steadfastness, physical or metaphorical firmness.
2. sense 2: a stable order (especially of society) - this is about social/political order.
3. sense 3: the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation (constancy) - example: early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds.

The context says the poll tracks changes in attitude since 1995, and now there's "increasing stability of attitudes" - meaning attitudes are becoming more constant, less variable over time, enduring. This matches sense 3: enduring and free from change or variation (constancy). The attitudes are not changing/variation as much - they're stabilizing in the sense of becoming constant.

It's not about social order (sense 2) - it's about attitudes, not society's order. It's not exactly firm/steadfast (sense 1) in the sense of resolute; it's about consistency over time (free from variation), which is sense 3.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The context is "Support for democracy has risen noticeably" — public approval/adherence to democracy as a political system. Candidates 2 vs 3. Sense 2: aiding the cause or policy or interests of (the president no longer has the support of his party). Sense 3: something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest; example "the policy found little public support". The phrase "support for democracy" in polls means public endorsement/advocacy of democracy. Sense 2 fits "aiding the cause/policy/interests" and example "president no longer has support of party" parallels political support. Sense 3's example "the policy found little public support" is also very apt — immaterial assistance to a cause/interest. Which is better? "Support for democracy has risen" = degree of public backing for the cause/institution of democracy. Sense 2 gloss "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" — democracy is a cause/system. Sense 3 "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". The example "the policy found little public support" matches poll-measured public support for democracy. Hmm, but "support for democracy" in political science = endorsement of democracy. Sense 2 is more the act of aiding the cause. The noun here denotes the degree of popular backing, which maps to sense 2 "aiding the cause or policy". WordNet: sense 2 synonyms include "backing"? Actually support%1:04:00 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" — "the president no longer has the support of his own party". Poll support for democracy = citizens aiding/backing democracy. Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance" — e.g., "the policy found little public support". Both plausible. The classic WSD answer for "support for democracy" in such datasets is sense 2? Let's think: sense 3 example "the policy found little public support" — receiving support; sense 2 example "president no longer has support of his party". The construction "support for X has risen" parallels "public support" which is given in sense 3's example. But sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy" — "support for democracy" = aiding the cause of democracy. Hmm.

WordNet sense 2 is an act (activity) of aiding; sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance". In "Support for democracy has risen from 40% to 61%", support refers to the proportion of people who endorse democracy — the abstract assistance given to the cause. I'd choose sense 2 because "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" — democracy is a cause, and examples are political: president's party support. Also sense 3's "support" is more like help received (his faith was all the support he needed). The phrase "found little public support" though... The canonical example for political support measured in polls is sense 2. I'll go with 2.

Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, <t>support</t> for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year.

The context: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% to 61%" — poll measuring public backing/approval for democracy. Candidate senses: 2 = aiding the cause/policy/interests of (the president no longer has support of his party). 3 = something providing immaterial assistance to a person/cause/interest (the policy found little public support).

The phrase "support for democracy" measured in polls — public support for a cause/policy. Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support" matches closely.

The user wants me to disambiguate the word "output" in the given context.

Context: "the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year"

This is about economics - a drop in output refers to economic production/GDP. The quantity of goods/services produced by an economy.

Candidate senses:
1. final product; the things produced (end product) - not right, it's not about final products
2. production of a certain amount (yield) - possible
3. signal from electronic system - definitely not
4. the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) - synonyms yield, production, example "production was up in the second quarter" - this matches economic output perfectly
5. what is produced in a given time period (outturn, turnout) - possible but more about what is produced

The context "big drop in output last year" refers to economic output/GDP - the quantity of commodities created within a given period. Sense 4 has the example "production was up in the second quarter" which is exactly parallel to "drop in output last year".

Sense 4 is the best match.

Return {"sense_index": 4}.

Target lemma: democrat
Target surface form: democrats
Context:
The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced <t>democrats</t>, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).
