Target lemma: average
Target surface form: average
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 democrats, which drags down the regional <t>average</t> (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).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=average%1:09:00:: | definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | synonyms=norm | examples=it set the norm for American homes
2. sense_key=average%1:24:00:: | definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
3. sense_key=average%1:09:01:: | definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "average" in "drags down the regional average". This refers to a statistical mean of support for democracy across the region.

Sense 1: a statistic describing the location of a distribution (norm) - this is the statistical average/mean.
Sense 3: an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual - this is more about being typical/ordinary.

In context, "regional average" refers to the computed statistic (mean) across countries in the region. That's sense 1 - a statistic describing the location of a distribution. The phrase "drags down the regional average" means the low values in Mexico and Brazil pull down the calculated mean for the region.

So answer is sense_index 1.

The context: "the same figure as last year" refers to 44% of respondents satisfied with democracy. Here "figure" means a number/statistic, i.e., an amount expressed numerically or the property possessed by a sum/total/quantity. Candidate 7 is "an amount of money expressed numerically" — money-specific, example $17. Candidate 9 is "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" synonyms number; examples number of chores, number of parameters. In statistical contexts, "figure" meaning a numerical value/statistic typically maps to sense 9 (number) rather than money amount sense 7. The phrase "the same figure as last year" = same number/percentage. So choose 9.

reasoning_content:
The context: "the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001". Here "increase" refers to the amount by which something increased — 44% compared to 25%, a big increase = the difference/amount of rise.

Sense 1: a quantity that is added (addition, gain) — like addition to property taxes, gain in weight.
Sense 4: the amount by which something increases — "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare".

"a big increase on the 25% in 2001" — the increase is measured relative to a prior figure; it's the amount by which the figure rose. Sense 4 fits: the amount by which something increases. But sense 1 "a quantity that is added" (gain) also could fit — "they recorded the cattle's gain in weight". Hmm.

The phrase "a big increase on the 25%" — British usage "an increase on" means an amount greater than. The increase here is the difference (44-25=19 points) or the new level being an increase over the old. Sense 4: amount by which something increases. That matches "a big increase on the 25%" — the magnitude of rise.

Sense 1 examples: "there was an addition to property taxes" — a quantity added. "the cattle's gain in weight" — amount gained. Both 1 and 4 are close. WordNet distinguishes: sense 1 (addition, gain) is a quantity that is added; sense 4 (increment) is the amount by which something increases. In "a big increase on the 25%", the increase denotes the amount of rise over the baseline — sense 4 seems apt. Actually "a big increase on X" means the current figure represents an increase over X; the increase is the difference. I'd pick 4.

Alternatively sense 3 (process of becoming larger) — "the increase in unemployment". Here it's not a process; it's a comparison result. So 4.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "confidence" in the context: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government". This is about trust in institutions (Congress and government).

Sense 2: a feeling of trust (in someone or something) - "I have confidence in our team" - this matches "confidence in their country's Congress".
Sense 3: a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable - "public confidence in the economy" - this is more about economic optimism.

The phrase "confidence in Congress/government" is about trust in institutions, so sense 2 is best. The example "I have confidence in our team" parallels "confidence in their country's Congress".

Answer: {"sense_index": 2}

Target lemma: congress
Target surface form: Congress
Context:
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 democrats, 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). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's <t>Congress</t> and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: The context discusses confidence in "their country's Congress" across Latin American countries (Peru, Mexico, Brazil, etc.), alongside confidence in their government. Here "Congress" refers generically to national legislative assemblies of various countries, not specifically the U.S. Congress. Sense 3 "a national legislative assembly" is the best fit. Sense 1 is specifically US. Sense 2 is a meeting of representatives (event), not an institution. Sense 4 irrelevant. Return JSON only.

We need answer JSON only. Need determine sense for 'cases' in context. Need think carefully.

Sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

Target 'cases' refers to the two items/proportions: confidence in Congress and confidence in government. "in both cases" = in both instances/occurrences. Candidate senses: 1 occurrence of something (instance, example) fits best. Sense 2 special set of circumstances/event ('in which case') could be tempting for phrase "in both cases" but here refers to two survey results/instances, not circumstances. Sense 4 actual state of things no. So index 1.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to disambiguate "woes" in the context "economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

The two senses:
1. woe%1:26:00:: = misery resulting from affliction (synonym: suffering) - this refers to distress/suffering caused by affliction, often used for troubles/problems
2. woe%1:12:00:: = intense mournfulness (synonym: woefulness) - this is sadness/grief

"Economic woes" is a common collocation meaning economic troubles/problems/hardships. This is misery resulting from affliction (economic afflictions), not intense mournfulness/grief. The context is about economic hardship undermining democracy, so it's suffering/troubles, not the emotion of mournfulness.

Best sense is 1.

Context: "support for democracy has risen from 40% to 61%" earlier; survey measure of approval/commitment. The exact target "undermined support for democracy" refers to public support for a political system/cause. Between sense 2 and 3. WordNet: support%1:04:00 is an activity: aiding the cause/policy/interests; support%1:09:00 something providing immaterial assistance to a person/cause/interest; example "policy found little public support" is closer: public support as abstract endorsement/assistance. In context "support for democracy" = degree of popular endorsement, not the activity of aiding? Let's compare examples: sense2 example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - that is allegiance/backing. sense3 example "the policy found little public support" - exactly collocation public support for policy.

The target word is "countries" in the sentence: "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."

Context is about Latin American countries as political/economic entities that suffered recession and recovery. This refers to politically organized bodies under single governments (nation-states), not territories, people, rural areas, or regions.

Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government - state, nation - fits best. "African nations" example similar. Countries suffering recession = nation-states/economies.

Sense 2 territory occupied by nation - more geographical territory. While countries can be visited (territory), here economic recovery points to political/economic entities.

Sense 3 people who live in nation - the people didn't suffer recession exactly, the economies/countries did.

Best is sense 1. Return JSON only.

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 democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2).

reasoning_content:
The target word "proportion" appears in "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009". This refers to the percentage/fraction of Latin Americans living in poverty. It's the quotient of part (those in poverty) divided by whole (all Latin Americans), expressed as 32%.

Sense 1: quotient obtained when magnitude of part divided by magnitude of whole - this matches percentage/fraction.
Sense 4: relation between things with respect to comparative quantity - ratio. Examples include "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" and "a dry martini has a large proportion of gin". These are about share/amount of a part within a whole, comparative quantity.

The phrase "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty... to 32%" is essentially a percentage = part/whole quotient. Sense 1 fits best: the quotient obtained when magnitude of part is divided by magnitude of whole. The 32% is literally that quotient.

Sense 4 is more about relative comparison between things/parts (ratio), e.g., proportion of gin in martini. But "proportion of X living in poverty" = share/percentage of population, which is part/whole. Sense 1 is the mathematical quotient. The example for sense 4 "large proportion of gin" is similar though. Need decide.

WordNet distinguishes: proportion%1:24:00 = quotient (part/whole) — often "the proportion of ... " as fraction/percentage. proportion%1:24:01 = ratio relation comparative quantity. In demographic/statistical context "proportion of population in poverty" is the fraction/percentage = sense 1. Choose 1.

Context: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president... is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress."

The context is about public opinion across Latin American countries. "The mood varies widely from country to country" refers to the prevailing psychological state / public sentiment / climate of opinion in different countries. This matches sense 2: "the prevailing psychological state" with synonym "climate" and example "the national mood had changed radically since the last election."

Sense 1 is about an individual's temporary state of feeling (temper/humor). Sense 3 is grammatical mood. The context clearly refers to collective/national public sentiment, so sense 2 is best.
