Target lemma: south_america
Target surface form: South America
Context:
Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. 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 <t>South America</t> (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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=south_america%1:17:00:: | definition=a continent in the western hemisphere connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama
2. sense_key=south_america%1:14:00:: | definition=the nations of the South American continent collectively | examples=South America is an important market for goods from the United States

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
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 is "South America" in the context of "Pacific rim of South America." This refers to the geographical continent/region. Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=south_america%1:17:00:: | definition=a continent in the western hemisphere connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama
2. sense_key=south_america%1:14:00:: | definition=the nations of the South American continent collectively | examples=South America is an important market for goods from the United States

The context is talking about the "Pacific rim of South America" and then discussing countries like Peru in that region. "Pacific rim of South America" refers to the geographical continent/region (the western coast area of the South American continent), not the collective nations. However, the broader context discusses attitudes across countries, and "South America" here could refer to the continent as a geographic region.

"Pacific rim of South America" - this is a geographical reference to the continent itself. Sense 1 (the continent) seems most appropriate here since "Pacific rim" is a geographic term referring to the coastal area of the continent.

The answer should be sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about "support for democracy" - this refers to public approval or backing of democracy as a political system. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. support%1:04:04:: - providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. support%1:04:00:: - aiding the cause or policy or interests of
3. support%1:09:00:: - something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest
4. support%1:04:03:: - military operation
5. support%1:04:02:: - documentary validation
6. support%1:21:00:: - financial means whereby one lives
7. support%1:06:01:: - supporting structure
8. support%1:04:01:: - act of bearing weight
9. support%1:10:01:: - musical part
10. support%1:06:00:: - device that bears weight
11. support%1:21:01:: - financial resources

"Support for democracy" in the context of poll results tracking attitudes - this is about public approval/backing of democracy.

Sense 3 (support%1:09:00::) - "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" with example "the policy found little public support" - this fits well.

Sense 2 (support%1:04:00::) - "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" with example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this also fits.

The difference: Sense 2 is more about actively aiding a cause, while Sense 3 is about immaterial assistance/support given to a cause. In the context of polling about attitudes toward democracy, "support for democracy" refers to the level of public approval or backing - which is more about the immaterial assistance/approval given to democracy as a concept.

Looking at the examples more carefully:
- Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" - this is about political backing
- Sense 3: "the policy found little public support" - this is about public approval

The context is about poll results showing rising support for democracy - this is about public approval/attitudes. Sense 3 seems to fit better because it's about immaterial assistance to a cause, and the example "the policy found little public support" closely matches the usage here.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - this is about actively supporting. Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance" - this is the thing that provides support.

In "support for democracy has risen," "support" is the thing that has risen - it's the immaterial assistance/approval. So Sense 3 fits better.

I'll go with sense 3.

The target word is "economy" in the context: "the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year."

This is clearly referring to the economic system of Mexico - the system of production and distribution and consumption. It's talking about economic growth, output, and recovery, which all point to the economic system of a country.

Sense 1: "the system of production and distribution and consumption" - this fits perfectly.
Sense 2: "the efficient use of resources" - doesn't fit.
Sense 3: "frugality in the expenditure of money or resources" - doesn't fit.
Sense 4: "an act of economizing; reduction in cost" - doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 1.

Both 4 and 5 seem relevant. Sense 4 specifically mentions "quantity" and "within a given period of time" and uses "production" as a synonym, with the example about quarterly production. This fits well with economic output/GDP.

Sense 5 is "what is produced in a given time period" with synonyms "outturn, turnout" - this is also about time period production.

The key distinction: Sense 4 talks about quantity of a commodity, while Sense 5 talks about what is produced in a time period. In the context of an economy suffering a "big drop in output," this is referring to economic output/GDP - the quantity produced in a time period.

Sense 4's example "production was up in the second quarter" is very similar to our context of economic output. The mention of "commodity" is slightly off, but "production" as a synonym fits well.

Sense 5's synonyms "outturn, turnout" are less common collocations with economic output.

I think Sense 4 is the best match here because:
- It explicitly mentions "production" as a synonym
- Its example is about quarterly production (economic context)
- It captures the economic production sense

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 5 "what is produced in a given time period" with "outturn" as a synonym is also very relevant. In economics, output is indeed what is produced in a given time period.

The difference is subtle. Sense 4 emphasizes "quantity" while Sense 5 emphasizes "what is produced." For economic output, both work.

Looking at the definition more carefully:
- Sense 4: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)" - this frames output as a quantity
- Sense 5: "what is produced in a given time period" - this is more general

In the context "a big drop in output" - this suggests output as a measurable quantity that can drop. Sense 4's framing as "quantity" fits this better.

I'll go with sense 4 (sense_index: 4).

Target lemma: year
Target surface form: year
Context:
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, 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 <t>year</t>. 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).

Sense 2 is about territory, but here we're talking about countries as political entities (with respondents in them who are "convinced democrats").

Sense 3 is about the people, but the context is more about the nations as political entities.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

The context discusses a "regional average" - meaning the statistical mean or typical value across countries in the region. The sentence says that half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil "drags down the regional average" - this refers to a statistical measure (the mean) that represents the typical level of support for democracy across the region.

Sense 1: "a statistic describing the location of a distribution" - this is the statistical mean, which fits perfectly with "regional average" as a statistical measure.

Sense 2: sports ratio - not relevant here.

Sense 3: "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual" - this is more about what is considered normal or typical, like "average height."

Between sense 1 and sense 3, sense 1 is the better fit because "regional average" refers to a statistical computation (the mean across the region), not just what's normal or usual. The regional average is computed from survey data across multiple countries.

Sense 1 is the best choice.

The target word "country" appears in the phrase "their country's democracy works in practice." This refers to the political entity/nation where the respondents live. The context is about democracy, government, Congress - all political institutions. So "country" here refers to the politically organized body of people under a single government, which is sense 1.

Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - this fits well with "their country's democracy works in practice" since democracy is a political system of a country.

Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - this could also fit, but the focus here is on the political system (democracy), not the territory.

Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - this could fit too, but the phrase "country's democracy" points more to the political entity.

The best fit is sense 1, as it's about the political organization and its democratic functioning.

reasoning_content:
The target word "democracy" appears in the context of discussing political systems, support for democracy, and how a country's democracy works in practice. The context discusses support for democracy as a political system, attitudes toward its institutions, and satisfaction with how it works in practice.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives" - This is about the political orientation/favoring of democracy.

2. "a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them" - synonyms: republic, commonwealth. This is about democracy as a political system/government type.

3. "the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group" - synonyms: majority rule. This is about majority rule as a doctrine.

In the context, "democracy" is used to refer to a political system - "support for democracy," "how their country's democracy works in practice." This is referring to democracy as a form of government/political system, which aligns with sense 2.

The phrase "how their country's democracy works in practice" clearly refers to democracy as a political system, not as a political orientation or a doctrine of majority rule. The context is about the actual functioning of a democratic political system in various countries.

Therefore, sense 2 (sense_index 2) is the best fit.

Context:
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 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 <t>figure</t> as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

The target word is "figure" in the sentence: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same <t>figure</t> as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

In this context, "figure" refers to a numerical value or percentage (44%). The sentence says "the same figure as last year," meaning the same number/percentage.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically" - examples: "a figure of $17 was suggested" - This is about a number/amount expressed numerically.
- Sense 3: "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration" - about digits
- Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - about number

The context is about a percentage (44%), which is a numerical value. Sense 7 is about an amount expressed numerically, and while the example mentions money, the definition is about an amount expressed numerically. Sense 9 is more about the abstract concept of "number."

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically" - this specifically mentions money
- Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals; number" - this is more about number in general

The context uses "figure" to mean a numerical statistic/percentage. This is closer to "a number" in general, not specifically money. But sense 7 is about a numerical expression of an amount, which fits a percentage.

Hmm, let me reconsider. In everyday English, "figure" can mean a number or amount. The WordNet sense 7 specifies "an amount of money" but the core meaning is "a number/amount expressed numerically." The percentage 44% is a number.

Sense 9 is defined as "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" with synonyms "number." The example is "he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small." This seems more about the concept of cardinality/number.

Actually, I think sense 7 is the best fit here because "the same figure as last year" is referring to the numerical value (the percentage 44%), which is an amount expressed numerically. Even though the WordNet gloss mentions money, the example "a figure of $17 was suggested" shows it's about a numerical amount, and percentages are numerical amounts too.

Wait, let me look at the wordnet sense more carefully. The definition "an amount of money expressed numerically" is specific to money. But the use in context is about a percentage.

Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - this is about a number in general.

Actually, I think the intended sense for "figure" meaning a numerical value (especially in statistical contexts) is sense 7. The percentage is an amount expressed numerically. The "money" part of the definition is a bit limiting, but the core concept is "a numerical amount."

Let me go with sense 7 as the best fit, since "the same figure" refers to the percentage value 44%, which is a numerical amount.

Hmm, but actually, looking at the definitions more carefully:
- Sense 7: a number expressed numerically (with money example)
- Sense 9: the property of number/cardinality

In the context "the same figure as last year," "figure" is being used as a synonym for "number" or "value." This is a common usage where "figure" = a numerical statistic or value.

I'll go with sense 7 since it's the closest match to "a numerical value/statistic."

The target word "increase" appears in the context: "a big increase on the 25% in 2001"

This is referring to the amount by which something has increased - specifically, the difference between the current figure (44%) and the 2001 figure (25%). So it's talking about "the amount by which something increases."

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a quantity that is added" - addition, gain
2. "a change resulting in an increase"
3. "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - increment, growth
4. "the amount by which something increases" - increment
5. "the act of increasing something" - step-up

Sense 4 fits best: "the amount by which something increases" with synonym "increment." The context is talking about the amount of increase (from 25% to 44%, which is a 19 percentage point increase).

reasoning_content:
The context is about public opinion polling regarding democracy in Latin American countries. The sentence reads: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government."

This is about people having trust/faith in their institutions (Congress and government). This is a feeling of trust in something - an institution or entity.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. self-confidence/assurance - about belief in yourself
2. a feeling of trust (in someone or something) - "I have confidence in our team"
3. confident hopefulness that events will be favorable - "public confidence in the economy"
4. a trustful relationship - "took me into his confidence"
5. a secret that is confided

The context is about "confidence in their country's Congress" and "confidence in their government" - this is about having trust/faith in institutions.

Sense 2 is "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" with the example "I have confidence in our team" - this matches the structure "had confidence in their country's Congress."

Sense 3 is "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" with the example "public confidence in the economy" - this is also about public trust in institutions.

The difference between sense 2 and sense 3: Sense 2 is more general trust in someone/something. Sense 3 is specifically about hopefulness that events will be favorable.

The example for sense 3 is "public confidence in the economy" which is very similar to "confidence in their country's Congress" - both are about public trust in institutions/systems.

However, sense 2's example "I have confidence in our team" is structurally identical to "had confidence in their country's Congress."

Hmm, let me think more carefully. Sense 2 is about a feeling of trust in someone or something - a more general trust. Sense 3 is about "confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" - a more specific sense related to optimism about outcomes.

"Confidence in Congress" could mean trust that Congress will do its job, or hopefulness that Congress will act favorably. The polling context "said they had confidence in their country's Congress" suggests a measure of trust in the institution.

Looking at the WordNet hierarchy: sense 2 is under "feeling" (1:12) and sense 3 is under "attribute" (1:26).

Actually, looking more carefully, "public confidence in the economy" in sense 3 is a very common collocation. Similarly, "confidence in Congress/government" is also a common public opinion measure. These are about the public's trust that things will go well.

I think sense 3 is the best match here because:
- It's about public/institutional trust
- The example "public confidence in the economy" parallels "confidence in their country's Congress"
- It captures the sense of trust in an institution to function well

But sense 2 is also very close. The key distinction: sense 2 is more about personal trust in a person/team ("our team"), while sense 3 is about public confidence in systems/economies/institutions.

Given the context is about public polling about institutions, I'll go with sense 3.

Wait, let me reconsider. The exact phrasing "had confidence in" is very similar to "I have confidence in our team" (sense 2). But the subject matter (public trust in Congress/government) is more like "public confidence in the economy" (sense 3).

I think sense 3 is the best fit because it specifically deals with public/institutional confidence, which matches the polling context about Congress and government.

Actually, I want to reconsider once more. Sense 2 says "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" - the "(in someone or something)" makes it quite general and could cover institutions. The example "I have confidence in our team" uses the same structure.

Sense 3 says "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" - this is more about expecting good outcomes.

"Confidence in Congress" - does this mean trust (sense 2) or hopefulness that Congress will act favorably (sense 3)?

In polling, "confidence in Congress" typically means trust that Congress will do the right thing / act well. This is closer to sense 3 (hopefulness about favorable events/outcomes from Congress) than sense 2 (general trust).

I'll go with sense 3.

The target word "country" appears in the phrase "their country's Congress". Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense.

The sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government"

Here, "their country" refers to the respondents' nation - the politically organized body of people under a single government, which has a Congress. The respondents are being asked about their confidence in their country's Congress.

This refers to the nation/state as a political entity (sense 1) - "a politically organized body of people under a single government." The country has a Congress and a government, which is consistent with this sense.

Sense 2 is about the territory occupied by a nation.
Sense 3 is about the people who live in a nation.
Sense 4 is about rural areas.
Sense 5 is about a particular geographical region.

The best fit is sense 1, as it refers to the political entity (the country with its Congress and government).

reasoning_content:
The context is about Latin American countries (Peru, Mexico, Brazil) and their satisfaction with democracy. The sentence says "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress." This refers to the legislative assembly of their respective countries (Peru, Mexico, Brazil, etc.), not specifically the U.S. Congress.

Sense 1 is specifically about the U.S. Congress, which doesn't fit.
Sense 2 is "a meeting of elected or appointed representatives" - this is more about a gathering/meeting.
Sense 3 is "a national legislative assembly" - this fits perfectly as it refers to the legislative body of a country.
Sense 4 is about sexual intercourse, clearly not relevant.

The best sense is 3, "a national legislative assembly."

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). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

reasoning_content: The user wants me to choose the best sense. The context is about Latin America (Peru, Mexico, Brazil), and the sentence says "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress". This is referring to a national legislative assembly, not specifically the U.S. Congress. So sense 3 is the best choice.
