Target lemma: one
Target surface form: ones
Context:
Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture." It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary <t>ones</t> by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago.

content: {"sense_index": 2}{"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "ones" in the context: "requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies."

Here, "ones" refers to "voluntary cuts" - it's a pronoun standing in for previously mentioned noun (cuts). It means "voluntary cuts" as instances/examples of a type of thing.

Sense 1: "the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number" - This is the number sense (one = 1).
Sense 2: "a single person or thing" - This is the pronoun/individual sense.

In this context, "voluntary ones" means "voluntary cuts" - it refers to specific instances/things of the type "cuts." This matches sense 2 - "a single person or thing" - used as a pronoun replacing a noun (cuts).

The example "this is the one I ordered" shows this exact usage pattern - a pronoun replacing a previously mentioned noun.

So sense 2 is correct.

reasoning_content:
The target word "move" in the context refers to "The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China." This refers to a decision or action taken by the U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern - specifically, rejecting language requiring binding cuts. This is an act of deciding to do something / taking an action.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "the act of deciding to do something" - examples: "he didn't make a move to help; his first move was to hire a lawyer"
2. "the act of changing your residence or place of business" - relocation
3. "a change of position that does not entail a change of location" - motion, movement
4. "the act of changing location from one place to another" - motion, movement
5. "(game) a player's turn to take some action permitted by the rules of the game"

The context is about a diplomatic/political action - rejecting certain language in climate talks. This is best captured by sense 1, "the act of deciding to do something," which aligns with examples like "his first move was to hire a lawyer" - referring to a deliberate action/decision.

Sense 5 is about games, which doesn't fit.
Senses 3 and 4 are about physical motion/movement, which doesn't fit.
Sense 2 is about relocation, which doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content: The context discusses climate talks and compares the Obama administration's approach with "Bush administration officials did just two years ago." Since the Obama administration began in 2009, "two years ago" would be around 2008, which falls under George W. Bush's presidency (2001-2009). This points to sense 2.

It's not sense 2 (Bible passage), not sense 3 (textbook), and not sense 4 (main body of a written work as distinct from illustrations). Sense 1 fits best - it's referring to the written text/document of the agreement being negotiated.

U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago. The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the <t>cuts</t> could be verified by outside observers. Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming.

The target word is "cuts" in the context: "the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers."

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is about U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern complaining about a text regarding climate change negotiations. The phrase "cuts" here refers to reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. Earlier in the context, we see "cut emissions" and "binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions."

The candidate senses - I need to find the one that best matches "reductions" of emissions.

Looking at sense 19: "the act of reducing the amount or number" with the example "the mayor proposed extensive cuts in the city budget." This fits perfectly with the context of "cuts" meaning reductions in emissions.

Other senses to consider:
- Sense 1: "a share of the profits" - doesn't fit
- Sense 17: "the act of cutting something into parts" - doesn't fit
- Sense 18: "the act of shortening something by chopping off the ends" - closer but not quite; this is about physical shortening
- Sense 19: "the act of reducing the amount or number" - this fits best

The context is about reducing emissions, which is about reducing an amount/number. Sense 19 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The context is about climate change talks. The word "observers" appears in the phrase "verified by outside observers." This refers to external monitors/inspectors who would verify that emission cuts are actually being made. This is more aligned with sense 1 - someone who becomes aware of things through observation, specifically external parties monitoring compliance. Sense 2 refers to experts who observe and comment on something, like a commentator or analyst.

In this context, "observers" refers to outside parties who would monitor/verify the cuts - they are watching/inspecting, not commenting publicly as experts. This fits sense 1 better.

The target word "week" appears in the context: "...for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming."

Here, "earlier in the week" refers to a period of time within the same week as the talks (which are happening on Friday). This is referring to a general period of seven consecutive days, not specifically a workweek or a calendar week starting on Sunday. It's the general sense of "week" as a period of time.

Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days" - this is the most general sense and fits best.
Sense 2: "hours or days of work in a calendar week" - this refers to workweek, not applicable here.
Sense 3: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" - this is a calendar week, but the context doesn't specify it starts on Sunday.

The best fit is sense 1.

However, the sentence "The United States is not going to do a deal without..." refers to the country as an actor, and in diplomatic contexts, this typically refers to the government acting on behalf of the country. But sense 1 is more commonly the default sense for "United States" as a country name. Looking at the second occurrence: "the United States would not help China financially" - this is about the country's government policy but using the country name.

Given that the article is about the country's role and the phrase is used as a country name rather than specifically referring to the government as an institutional body, sense 1 is the better choice.

Target lemma: china
Target surface form: China
Context:
The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago. The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers. Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help <t>China</t> financially to cope with global warming. With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake, fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies.

reasoning_content:
The target word "world" appears in the phrase "the world's major powers" and also in "the developing world" and "the industrial world" and "the world's two dozen most influential countries."

Let me analyze the context carefully:

1. "the world's major powers" - here "world" refers to the planet Earth and its inhabitants
2. "the developing world" - this refers to a group of nations/countries
3. "the industrial world" - this refers to industrialized nations
4. "the world's two dozen most influential countries" - again referring to the planet

The phrase "the world's major powers" most naturally refers to the major powers of the Earth - this is about the planet and its nations. Looking at the candidate senses:

- Sense 4 (world%1:17:00::): "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on" - Earth, globe
- Sense 8 (world%1:05:00::): "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - human race, humanity, mankind
- Sense 2 (world%1:14:01::): "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" - domain
- Sense 5 (world%1:14:02::): "people in general considered as a whole" - populace, public

The phrase "the world's major powers" - "world's" here is possessive, meaning "the major powers of the world." This refers to the major powers on Earth.

Looking at sense 4, it's about the planet itself. Sense 8 is about all living human inhabitants. Sense 2 is about a distinctive group with shared interest.

"the world's major powers" - the major powers of the world. This could be sense 4 (the planet) or sense 8 (human inhabitants).

Actually, "the world's major powers" is a common collocation meaning "the major powers of the world" where "world" refers to the Earth/planet. The possessive construction "world's" suggests the planet itself.

But wait, sense 2 says "especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" with example "the Western world." This could fit "the developing world" and "the industrial world" - these are distinctive groups of nations.

Hmm, but the target word is specifically "world" in "the world's major powers." Let me focus on that specific instance.

"the world's major powers" - this is about the major powers of the Earth. The possessive "world's" here refers to the planet Earth. So sense 4 seems most appropriate.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The world's major powers" could mean "the major powers of the world" where "world" = Earth (sense 4) or "the major powers among the world's inhabitants" (sense 8).

In common usage, "the world's major powers" typically refers to the major nations/countries of the Earth. This is more about the planet and its political entities.

Sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on" - this is the most literal sense of "world" as the planet.

I think sense 4 is the best fit here because "the world's major powers" refers to the major powers of the planet Earth.

Wait, but sense 8 is "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - this could also work because "the world's major powers" are major powers among the human inhabitants.

Let me think about this more carefully. The phrase "the world's major powers" - if we substitute the definitions:
- Sense 4: "Earth's major powers" or "the globe's major powers" - this works
- Sense 8: "humanity's major powers" or "mankind's major powers" - this is awkward

Sense 4 fits better because "world's" as a possessive naturally modifies "Earth" or "the globe."

Actually, looking at the examples for sense 4: "the Earth moves around the sun; he sailed around the world" - these are about the planet itself.

For sense 8: "all the world loves a lover; she always used 'humankind' because 'mankind' seemed to slight the women" - these are about all humans.

"the world's major powers" - the major powers of the world. This is about nations/states on Earth. I think sense 4 is the best fit because "world" here refers to the planet Earth and its political entities.

Hmm, but actually, "the world's major powers" is really about the major powers (nations) of the world. The "world" here is the domain or sphere. Let me look at sense 2 again: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" with example "the Western world."

"the developing world" and "the industrial world" fit sense 2 well - these are distinctive groups of nations with shared characteristics (developing status, industrial status).

But "the world's major powers" - here "world" is in possessive form modifying "major powers." This is different from "the developing world" where "world" is the head noun.

For "the world's major powers," I think sense 4 (the planet Earth) is most appropriate because the possessive construction "world's" refers to the planet.

Let me go with sense 4.

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider once more. In "the world's major powers," the "world" could refer to:
1. The planet Earth (sense 4)
2. The global community of nations (sense 2 or 8)

In political/economic discourse, "the world's major powers" typically means "the major powers of the world" where "world" = the international system of nations. This is closer to sense 2 (a distinctive group) or sense 8 (all human inhabitants).

But sense 2's example is "the Western world" which is a distinctive group. "The world's major powers" isn't really a "distinctive group" - it's the major powers within the world.

Sense 8 is "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth." "The world's major powers" = the major powers among all human inhabitants. This could work.

Sense 4 is "the 3rd planet from the sun." "The world's major powers" = the major powers of the planet. This also works.

I think the most natural reading is sense 4 - the planet Earth. "The world's major powers" = the major powers of planet Earth.

Let me finalize: sense 4.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. The phrase "the world's major powers" is very common in news discourse. It typically refers to the major nations/countries of the world. The "world" here is used metonymically to refer to the global community or the planet.

Looking at WordNet sense distinctions:
- Sense 4: the planet itself (Earth, globe)
- Sense 8: all human inhabitants (humanity, mankind)

"The world's major powers" - if we say "Earth's major powers" or "the globe's major powers," this makes sense with sense 4.
If we say "humanity's major powers" or "mankind's major powers," this is awkward with sense 8.

So sense 4 is the better fit.

Final answer: sense 4.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "obligations" in the context of countries' responsibilities/commitments regarding climate change. The context discusses how China and the United States are feuding over their respective obligations - meaning their duties/responsibilities to take action on greenhouse gas emissions.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "the social force that binds you to the courses of action demanded by that force" with synonyms duty, responsibility - this fits well as the obligations here refer to duties/responsibilities of countries
2. "the state of being obligated to do or pay something" - this is more about the state of being obligated
3. "a personal relation in which one is indebted for a service or favor" - not quite right, this is about personal indebtedness
4. "a written promise to repay a debt" - not relevant
5. "a legal agreement specifying a payment or action and the penalty for failure to comply" - this is about a legal document

The context is about countries' duties and responsibilities to take action on climate change. Sense 1 with synonyms "duty, responsibility" fits best because it's about the moral/social force that binds countries to certain courses of action.

The answer is sense_index 1.
