Sentence: 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.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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."

The word is "support".
Context: "support for democracy" - meaning public approval, backing, or aid for the cause/interest of democracy.

Let's look at the senses:
1. providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of (e.g., the president no longer has the support of his own party)
3. something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (e.g., the policy found little public support)
Wait, sense 2 and 3 are very similar.
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" -> "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" -> "the policy found little public support"

In the sentence: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40%... to 61%". This refers to public support (percentage of people supporting).
Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support". This matches "support for democracy" (public support/approval).
Wait, "support for democracy" could also be sense 3. Let's re-read sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of".
Let's check WordNet senses for "support".
Noun:
1. support, supporting, sustainment, sustenance, suspension (the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities)
2. support (aiding the cause or policy or interests of) "the president no longer has the support of his own party"; "they voted to give the union support"
3. support (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) "the policy found little public support"; "his faith was all the support he needed"
4. military support
5. documentation, documentary validation, support
6. keep, support
7. support (supporting structure)
8. support (the act of bearing the weight)
9. accompaniment, backup, support (musical part)
10. support (device that bears weight)
11. financial support, funding, support

Let's look at Sense 3 vs Sense 2.
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Examples: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Examples: "the policy found little public support"

In the sentence, "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40%... to 61%". This means public support. The example for Sense 3 is "the policy found little public support". This is an exact match for the concept of "public support" measured in percentages.
Wait, "support for democracy" -> "support" here means the backing or approval of the public.
Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance...". "public support" is the classic example for Sense 3.
Let's double check.
"the policy found little public support" -> Sense 3.
"support for democracy has risen" -> Sense 3.

Is there any chance it's Sense 2?
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party".

Let's consider the phrase "support for [cause]". "support for democracy" is analogous to "public support" for a policy. So Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's review the exact WordNet definitions.
Sense 2: support (aiding the cause or policy or interests of) "the president no longer has the support of his own party"; "they voted to give the union support"
Sense 3: support (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) "the policy found little public support"; "his faith was all the support he needed"

"support for democracy" is a cause/interest. The percentage refers to the amount of public support. Thus, Sense 3.

Let's confirm if it could be 3.
"support for democracy" -> public support for a cause.
Yes, Sense 3.
Wait, could it be 2? "support of his own party" vs "support for democracy".
Actually, WordNet sense 3 is often used for "public support".
I will output 3.
Let me double check sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
Sentence: "...support for democracy has risen..."
Matches Sense 3.
I'm confident in 3.
There is a slight ambiguity between 2 and 3, but "public support" is the exact example for 3, and "support for democracy" in the context of polling percentages (40% to 61%) is public support.
Therefore, 3.

Which numbered sense of "output" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in <t>output</t> last year.

Senses:
1. definition=final product; the things produced
2. definition=production of a certain amount
3. definition=signal that comes out of an electronic system
4. definition=the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter
5. definition=what is produced in a given time period

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in <t>output</t> last year."
The word "output" refers to the economic output, i.e., the quantity of goods and services produced (GDP or industrial production).
Let's look at the senses:
1. final product; the things produced
2. production of a certain amount
3. signal that comes out of an electronic system
4. the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter
5. what is produced in a given time period

Wait, WordNet senses for "output":
1. output, outturn, turnout (final product; the things produced)
2. output, yield (production of a certain amount)
3. output, end product (the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)) "production was up in the second quarter"
4. output (signal that comes out of an electronic system)
5. output (what is produced in a given time period)

Wait, sense 4 in the prompt: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter"
Sense 5: "what is produced in a given time period"

Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
Noun:
1. output, outturn, turnout -- (final product; the things produced)
2. output, yield -- (production of a certain amount)
3. output, end product -- (the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time); "production was up in the second quarter")
4. output -- (signal that comes out of an electronic system)
5. output -- (what is produced in a given time period)

Wait, in WordNet 3.1:
1. final product; the things produced (output, outturn, turnout)
2. production of a certain amount (output, yield)
3. the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) (output, end product) -> "production was up in the second quarter"
4. signal that comes out of an electronic system (output)
5. what is produced in a given time period (output) -> wait, is there a 5th sense?
Actually, let's search WordNet for "output".
Sense 1: output, outturn, turnout - final product; the things produced
Sense 2: output, yield - production of a certain amount
Sense 3: output, end product - the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time); "production was up in the second quarter"
Sense 4: output - signal that comes out of an electronic system
Sense 5: output - what is produced in a given time period

In the sentence: "...suffering a big drop in output last year."
This refers to economic output, the quantity of something created within a given period (last year).
Sense 4 has the example "production was up in the second quarter", which perfectly matches "drop in output last year" (economic production).
Let's re-read Sense 4: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter"
Sense 5: "what is produced in a given time period" - wait, does WordNet have this?
Actually, in WordNet:
output (what is produced in a given time period) -> maybe this is sense 5?
Wait, if I look at SemCor or similar datasets, "drop in output" usually maps to the economic production sense. The example "production was up in the second quarter" is exactly the economic sense. So Sense 4 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
Sense 3 in WordNet: `output`, `end product` - the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time); "production was up in the second quarter"
Sense 5 in WordNet: `output` - what is produced in a given time period. (Wait, let me check if Sense 5 exists. Yes, "what is produced in a given time period" is a definition for output. Wait, no, maybe sense 4 is the one with the example).

Let's look at the options provided in the prompt:
1. definition=final product; the things produced
2. definition=production of a certain amount
3. definition=signal that comes out of an electronic system
4. definition=the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) | examples=production was up in the second quarter
5. definition=what is produced in a given time period

Sentence: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year."
"drop in output" -> economic output. Sense 4 explicitly mentions "production was up in the second quarter", which is an economic context identical to "economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output". Therefore, Sense 4 is the most appropriate.

Let's confirm if Sense 4 is indeed the correct one.
"the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)"
Yes, "output" in macroeconomics refers to the quantity of goods and services produced.

I will return 4.
It matches the economic context perfectly.
No further doubts.
Systematic check:
1 - final product (e.g., the output of the factory)
2 - production of a certain amount (e.g., the output of his efforts)
3 - electronic signal
4 - quantity created in a given time (economic output, industrial output)
5 - what is produced in a given time period (maybe agricultural output? or just a general sense)

The example in 4 "production was up in the second quarter" is a dead giveaway for the macroeconomic/industrial context of "drop in output last year".
I'll output 4.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2)."
The word is "countries".
Mexico and Brazil are politically organized bodies of people under a single government / nations / states.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation, country)
2. the territory occupied by a nation (land, country)
3. the people who live in a nation or country (nation, country)
4. an area outside of cities and towns (country)
5. a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area, country)

In the sentence, "Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries", it refers to the nation/state as a political entity or the people? "populous countries" -> countries with a large population. Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" fits best for "country" as a sovereign state (like Mexico and Brazil). Let's check WordNet senses for "country".
Sense 1: state, nation, country (a politically organized body of people under a single government) "the state has elected a new president"; "the country's largest manufacturer"
Sense 2: country (the territory occupied by a nation) "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries"
Wait, if it's "most populous countries", is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Usually, "country" as a sovereign state is Sense 1. "populous countries" refers to the states/nations.
Let's re-read Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president"
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth"
Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood"

Actually, "populous countries" refers to the political entities (states/nations). Sense 1 is the standard WordNet sense for country=nation/state.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1 in WordNet: "the state has elected a new president", "the country's largest manufacturer", "an industrialized land", etc. Wait, "country" in "European countries" might be Sense 1 or 2. But usually, country as a political entity is Sense 1.
Let's choose Sense 1.
Wait, "the region's two most populous countries". Mexico and Brazil are nations/states. So Sense 1.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: state, nation, country
Sense 2: country, land
Sense 3: nation, country
Sense 4: country
Sense 5: area, country

"Mexico and Brazil" are states/nations. Therefore, Sense 1.
I will return 1.

Therefore, the sense is 2.

Sentence: 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).

The word "average" here refers to a statistic describing the location of a distribution (e.g., the arithmetic mean of the percentages across the region).
Sense 1: definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution
Sense 2: definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
Sense 3: definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual

The correct sense is 1.
Let's double check. "regional average" means the average value calculated for the region. This is a statistic.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "country" as used in the provided sentence.
Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their <t>country</t>'s democracy works in practice...

Senses:
1. a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation)
2. the territory occupied by a nation (land)
3. the people who live in a nation or country (nation)
4. an area outside of cities and towns (rural area)
5. a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area, region)

In the sentence, "their country's democracy" refers to the political system of the nation/state they belong to. "Country" here means the politically organized body of people under a single government (the state/nation as a political entity).
Wait, "their country's democracy" -> the democracy of the state.
Let's look at Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (e.g., the state has elected a new president).
Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" (e.g., a statement that sums up the nation's mood).

"how their country's democracy works" -> democracy is a political system of the state. So Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check WordNet senses for "country".
Sense 1: state, nation, country (a politically organized body of people under a single government) "the state has elected a new president"; "African nations"; "students who had come to the nation's capitol"; "the country's largest manufacturer"; "an industrialized land"
Sense 2: country, state, land (the territory occupied by a nation) "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries"
Sense 3: nation, country (the people who live in a nation or country) "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"; "the news was announced to the nation"; "the whole country worshipped him"
Sense 4: nation, country, land (a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary)
Sense 5: country, rural area (an area outside of cities and towns)

In "their country's democracy", "country" refers to the political entity (the state). Thus, Sense 1.

Wait, is it "the country's largest manufacturer" in Sense 1? Yes.
So "their country's democracy" aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

Let's confirm.
"satisfied with how their country's democracy works" -> state / political entity.
Number: 1.

The sentence is: "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)."
The word "figure" here refers to the percentage or numerical value (44%).
Looking at the senses:
1. diagram or picture
2. body of a human being
3. element of numeration (digit)
4. model of bodily form
5. well-known person
6. combination of points/lines
7. amount of money
8. impression produced by a person
9. property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals (i.e., a number)
10. figurative language
11. unitary percept (figure and ground)
12. decorative work
13. predetermined movements in dancing

Wait, "figure" as in a number or statistic.
Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - examples: "he had a number of chores to do" (Wait, this is the definition of "number", but "figure" can mean number/statistic). Let's check WordNet synsets for "figure".
Synset: number, figure (the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals) -> "he had a number of chores to do", "the number of parameters is small", "the figure was about 5000". Wait, "figure" as in "the same figure as last year" means "number" or "statistic".
Let's re-read Sense 9: definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | examples=he had a number of chores to do. This matches the WordNet synset for `number, figure`.
Is there any other sense?
Sense 7: an amount of money expressed numerically. (Not money here, it's a percentage).
Sense 3: one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration (digit). (Not a digit, it's 44%).

Therefore, Sense 9 is the correct one. Let me double check if WordNet has "figure" as "number, figure".
Yes, `number, figure` - the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals; "he had a number of chores to do"; "the number of parameters is small"; "the figure was about 5000".
Wait, the example "he had a number of chores to do" uses "number", but the synset includes "figure". In the sentence, "the same figure as last year" means "the same number".

Let's review the options.
1: figure, fig (diagram)
2: body, organic structure, physical structure, anatomy, shape, form, flesh, human body, material body, somatic feature, build, habitus, bodily structure, body structure, figure, physique (body)
3: digit, figure (numeration element)
4: model, figure (model of bodily form)
5: name, figure, public figure (well-known person)
6: figure (geometry)
7: figure (amount of money)
8: figure (impression)
9: number, figure (property possessed by a sum...)
10: trope, figure of speech, figure, image (figurative language)
11: figure (percept)
12: design, pattern, figure (decorative work)
13: figure (skating/dancing)

Yes, it is 9.
The word "figure" in "the same figure as last year" refers to a number/statistic. Sense 9 is "number, figure".
I will output 9.

Which numbered sense of "increase" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: 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 <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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 <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

The word "increase" here refers to the difference between the current figure (44%) and the figure in 2001 (25%). It represents the amount by which the percentage increased.
Wait, let's look at the senses:
1. a quantity that is added (addition)
2. a change resulting in an increase (the increase is scheduled)
3. a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important (the increase in unemployment)
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)

In the sentence, "a big increase on the 25% in 2001" means the amount by which it increased (44% - 25% = 19%).
Is it Sense 4? "the amount by which something increases".
Or Sense 3? "a process of becoming larger..." No, it's a specific quantity/amount.
Let's re-read Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare".
Here, "a big increase on the 25%" refers to the amount (19 percentage points).

Let's check WordNet senses for "increase":
Noun:
1. addition, increase, gain - a quantity that is added; "there was an addition to property taxes this year"; "they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks"
2. increase - a change resulting in an increase; "the increase is scheduled for next month"
3. increase, increment, growth - a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important; "the increase in unemployment"; "the growth of population"
4. increase - the amount by which something increases; "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare"
5. increase, raise, rise, wage hike, hike, salary increase - the act of increasing something; "he gave me an increase in salary"

In the sentence: "...but a big increase on the 25% in 2001".
This means the amount by which it increased. "a big increase" = a large amount of increase.
Sense 4 fits perfectly: "the amount by which something increases".

Let's double check.
"a big increase on the 25%"
Could it be 4? Yes.
Could it be 1? "a quantity that is added". No.
Could it be 3? "a process...". No.

Therefore, Sense 4 is the most accurate.
Let's confirm if it matches WordNet sense 4.
Sense 4: the amount by which something increases.
Example: they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare.
Sentence: ... a big increase on the 25% ...

Yes, 4.
It represents the difference (amount).
I will return 4.

Sentence: Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> 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).

3. definition=a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy
4. definition=a trustful relationship | examples=he took me into his confidence
5. definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> 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 word is "confidence".
The context is having confidence in Congress and the government. This refers to trust in institutions.
Let's look at the senses:
1. freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities (self-confidence)
2. a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples=I have confidence in our team
3. a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy
4. a trustful relationship
5. a secret

Wait, sense 2 is "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" with example "I have confidence in our team".
Sense 3 is "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" with example "public confidence in the economy".
In the sentence, "confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government". This is trust in an institution, similar to "confidence in our team".
Wait, could it be 2 or 3?
"confidence in their country's Congress" -> trust in someone or something.
Let's check WordNet synsets for confidence.
Synset 1: confidence, self-assurance, self-confidence, assurance (freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities)
Synset 2: confidence (a feeling of trust (in someone or something)) "I have confidence in our team"; "the mutual confidence and respect of the two men" -> wait, the example for 4 is "he took me into his confidence" (trustful relationship - wait, "take into one's confidence" is a different synset).
Let's check the exact WordNet synsets:
1. confidence, self-assurance, self-confidence, assurance (freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities) "his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular"
2. confidence (a feeling of trust (in someone or something)) "I have confidence in our team"
3. confidence (a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable) "public confidence in the economy"
4. confidence (a trustful relationship) "he took me into his confidence"; "he betrayed their confidence"
5. confidence (a secret that is confided or entrusted to another) "everyone trusted him with their confidences"

In the sentence: "confidence in their country's Congress". Congress is an institution/someone. This matches sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)".
Wait, could it be sense 3? "public confidence in the economy". The economy is events being favorable. Congress and government are entities (someone or something). So sense 2 is more appropriate.
Let's re-read sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)".
Sentence: "confidence in their country's Congress and ... in their government". Congress and government are "someone or something".
Therefore, sense 2.
Let me double check if there's any ambiguity. "confidence in government" is often considered trust in the institution. Sense 2 fits perfectly.
I will return 2.

The sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their <t>country</t>'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 word "country" here refers to the politically organized body of people under a single government, or the nation as a political entity. Wait, let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president (Wait, the example uses "state", but the definition is for country/state/nation).
Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation
Sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country
Sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns
Sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary

In "their country's Congress", "country" refers to the nation/state as a political entity. "Congress" and "government" are institutions of the politically organized body. So Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check WordNet senses for "country".
Sense 1: state, nation, country (a politically organized body of people under a single government) "the state has elected a new president"; "African nations"; "students who had come to the nation's capitol"; "the country's largest manufacturer"; "an industrialized land"
Sense 2: country, state, nation, land (the territory occupied by a nation) "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries"
Sense 3: nation, country, people (the people who live in a nation or country) "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"; "the news was announced to the nation"; "the whole country worshipped him"
Sense 4: country, rural area (an area outside of cities and towns) "his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country"
Sense 5: area, country (a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography)) "it was a mountainous area"; "Bible country"

In the sentence: "confidence in their country's Congress". Congress is the legislative body of the politically organized body (the state/nation/country). So Sense 1.
Wait, could it be Sense 3? "their country's Congress" -> the Congress of the people? No, Congress belongs to the state/nation (political entity).
Therefore, Sense 1.
Let's confirm. "country's Congress" -> the country as a political organization.
I will return 1.

Sentence: 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).

Senses:
1. definition=the legislature of the United States government
2. definition=a meeting of elected or appointed representatives
3. definition=a national legislative assembly
4. definition=the act of sexual procreation between a man and a woman; the man's penis is inserted into the woman's vagina and excited until orgasm and ejaculation occur

reasoning_content:
The sentence refers to "their country's Congress", indicating a national legislative assembly of a specific country, not necessarily the United States (since it says "their country's"). Wait, "Congress" capitalized usually refers to the US Congress, but "their country's Congress" implies a national legislative assembly in general or a specific country's equivalent. Let's look at the options.
1. the legislature of the United States government
2. a meeting of elected or appointed representatives
3. a national legislative assembly
4. sexual procreation...

"their country's Congress" -> refers to a national legislative assembly. If it were the US, it would just say "Congress" or "the US Congress". "their country's" implies it could be any country that has a "Congress" (like the Philippines, Argentina, etc., or just referring to the national legislature). Sense 3: "a national legislative assembly".

Let's double check WordNet senses for "congress".
Sense 1: a meeting of elected or appointed representatives (e.g., "a congress of delegates")
Sense 2: the legislature of the United States government
Sense 3: a national legislative assembly (e.g., "his country's congress") -> Wait, WordNet has:
1. congress, national convention (a meeting of elected or appointed representatives)
2. Congress, United States Congress, US Congress (the legislature of the United States government)
3. congress (a national legislative assembly)
4. congress, intercourse, sexual intercourse, relation, carnal knowledge (the act of sexual procreation...)

In the sentence: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress..."
This matches "a national legislative assembly".

Let's confirm if it could be 3.
"their country's Congress" -> "country's congress" is a classic example for sense 3.
WordNet definition for sense 3: "a national legislative assembly" - example: "he was elected to the national congress" or similar.
Actually, the exact WordNet synset for "congress" (national legislative assembly) might have the example "his country's congress".
Let's choose 3.
There is a slight chance it's 1 if it's considered just "a meeting", but "confidence in their country's Congress" clearly means the legislative body.
Between 1 (US legislature) and 3 (national legislative assembly). Since it says "their country's", it's not restricted to the US. Thus 3 is the perfect fit.
Number: 3.

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

Senses:

2. the act of governing; exercising authority
3. the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed
4. the study of government of states and other political units

In the sentence, "government" is contrasted with "Congress" (a specific institution/organization of the government). People have confidence in the "government" as the governing authority/organization of their country.
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate. "confidence in their government" refers to the organization/governing authority.

Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "the government reduced taxes" - refers to the organization/administration.
Sense 2: "the act of governing"
Sense 3: "tyrannical government" - refers to the system/form.
Sense 4: "the study of government"

"confidence in their government" -> confidence in the people/organization running the country. Sense 1.

1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
The sentence uses "year" in the context of "last year", referring to the previous calendar year or a period of 365/366 days.
Let's check the senses:
1. a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days
2. a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity (e.g., school year)
3. the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun
4. a body of students who graduate together

"last year" refers to the previous calendar year, which is a period of 365 (or 366) days.
So sense 1 is the correct sense.
Let's double check. "last year" -> calendar year -> 365/366 days.
Yes, sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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)."

The word "cases" refers to the two instances or occurrences mentioned: confidence in Congress and confidence in the government.
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. an occurrence of something (it was a case of bad judgment) -> "in both cases" = in both instances/occurrences.
2. a special set of circumstances -> "in that event..."
3. court proceeding
4. actual state of things -> "that was not the case"

"in both cases" means "in both instances" or "in both occurrences". Sense 1 fits best: "an occurrence of something" or "instance".
Wait, WordNet sense for "case" (instance, example, case) - an occurrence of something.
Let's check WordNet definitions for "case":
1. case, instance, example (an occurrence of something) "it was a case of bad judgment"; "another instance occurred yesterday"; "but there is always the famous example of the Smiths"
2. case, event (a special set of circumstances) "in that event, the first possibility is excluded"
4. case (the actual state of things) "that was not the case"

"in both cases" -> in both instances. So Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases..."
Here "cases" refers to the two instances (Congress and government).
Sense 1: an occurrence of something.

Could it be Sense 2? "a special set of circumstances" - no.
Could it be Sense 4? "the actual state of things" - no.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm WordNet sense 1 for case: "an occurrence of something". Synonyms: instance, example.
"in both cases" = "in both instances".

I will output 1.

11. definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy."
The word is "support".
The context is "support for democracy", meaning public approval, backing, or aiding the cause/interests of democracy.
Let's look at the senses:
1. providing for/maintaining with money
2. aiding the cause or policy or interests of (e.g., the president no longer has the support of his own party)
3. something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (e.g., the policy found little public support)
Wait, "undermined support for democracy". Is it sense 2 or 3?
Sense 2: aiding the cause or policy or interests of. Examples: "the president no longer has the support of his own party" -> here support means the backing of the party.
Sense 3: something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest. Examples: "the policy found little public support" -> here support means public backing/approval.

Wait, WordNet senses for "support":
Sense 1: support, keep (the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities) "his support kept the family together"
Sense 2: support (aiding the cause or policy or interests of) "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
Sense 3: support (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) "the policy found little public support"
Sense 4: support (a military operation...)
Sense 5: documentation, documentary validation, support
Sense 6: keep, support (the financial means whereby one lives)
Sense 7: support (supporting structure...)
Sense 8: support (the act of bearing the weight...)

Let's check "undermined support for democracy". This is very similar to "the policy found little public support". "Support for democracy" implies public backing/approval, which is immaterial assistance to a cause.
Wait, "support for democracy" -> backing of democracy by the public.
Is it sense 2 or 3?
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Example: "the policy found little public support".

Let's look closely at the phrasing: "undermined support for democracy".
"support for democracy" is an abstract concept, the backing or approval of democracy.
In WordNet, "support" (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) "the policy found little public support".
Wait, could it be Sense 3?
Let's check Sense 2 vs Sense 3 in WordNet.
Noun:
1. support, keep (the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities)
2. support (aiding the cause or policy or interests of) "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
3. support (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) "the policy found little public support"
4. support, reinforcement, reenforcement (a military operation...)
5. documentation, documentary validation, support
6. keep, support (the financial means whereby one lives)
7. support, supporting (supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation)
8. support (the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening)
9. accompaniment, musical accompaniment, backup, support (a musical part...)
10. support (any device that bears the weight of another thing)
11. financial support, funding, support, backing (financial resources provided to make some project possible)

"undermined support for democracy" -> "support" here means the public's backing. This aligns perfectly with Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (e.g., "the policy found little public support").
Let's re-read Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". This sounds more like an action or the state of aiding. "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
Actually, both 2 and 3 are very close. But "public support" is the exact example for Sense 3. "support for democracy" is analogous to "public support" for a policy.
Wait, "support for democracy" could also be Sense 3 because it's "something providing immaterial assistance".
Let's consider "support" in "undermined support for democracy".
Is it 3? Yes, "public support" is sense 3.
Let's check if there is any other better fit.
Could it be 2? "aiding the cause or policy or interests of".
"undermined support for democracy" -> "support" = backing.
I will bet on Sense 3.
Wait, let's think about "support for democracy" as "approval".
WordNet sense: "support" - something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest; "the policy found little public support".
Another WordNet sense: "support" - aiding the cause or policy or interests of; "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
In "undermined support for democracy", it refers to the people's support (immaterial assistance / approval) for the cause of democracy. This matches Sense 3.

Let's double check.
"support for democracy"
"support" = backing, approval.
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
Usually, "support for [cause]" is Sense 3. "support of [person/party]" is Sense 2.
Example 2: "support of his own party" (the party is aiding him).
Example 3: "public support" (the public provides immaterial assistance to the policy).
"support for democracy" -> the public provides immaterial assistance to democracy. So Sense 3.

I'll output 3.
There is a slight chance it's 2, but 3 seems more accurate for "support for [abstract cause/policy]".
Let's review the exact WordNet definitions.
Sense 2: support (aiding the cause or policy or interests of) "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
Sense 3: support (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) "the policy found little public support"
"undermined support for democracy" is very close to "the policy found little public support". Both refer to the general public's approval/backing of a system or policy.
Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct one.
Number: 3.

Which numbered sense of "country" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery.

Senses:

5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."
The word is "countries".
Context: "Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."
Here, "countries" refers to the politically organized bodies of people / nations (states) that have economies, suffer recessions, and enjoy recoveries. Or does it refer to the territory, the people, or the region?
Wait, "countries suffered ... recession". Usually, a country as a political/economic entity.
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (the state has elected a new president) -> nation/state.
Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation (he returned to the land of his birth).
Sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country (a statement that sums up the nation's mood).
Sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns.
Sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary.

In WordNet, "country" has these senses:
1. state, nation, country (a politically organized body of people under a single government) "the state has elected a new president"; "African nations"; "students who had come to the nation's capitol"; "the country's largest manufacturer"; "an industrialized land"
2. country, state, nation, land (the territory occupied by a nation) "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries" -> Wait, "he visited several European countries" is Sense 2 in WordNet? Let me check.
Wait, let's look at the given examples.
Sense 1 examples: "the state has elected a new president"
Sense 2 examples: "he returned to the land of his birth"
Sense 3 examples: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"
Sense 4 examples: "his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country"
Sense 5 examples: "it was a mountainous area" (region, country)

Let's rethink: "Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession". A country suffering a recession refers to the political/economic entity (Sense 1) or the people (Sense 3)?
Usually, economic indicators apply to the state/nation (Sense 1). "The country's largest manufacturer" is Sense 1.
Let's consider "country" as a politically organized body of people under a single government.
Is it Sense 1? Yes, "country" as a state/nation.

Let's check WordNet synsets for "country":
Synset 1: state, nation, country (a politically organized body of people under a single government)
Synset 2: country, state, nation, land (the territory occupied by a nation)
Synset 3: nation, country (the people who live in a nation or country)
Synset 4: country, rural area (an area outside of cities and towns)
Synset 5: region, country (a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary)

In the sentence: "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession"
Countries here acts as the political/economic entity, which corresponds to Sense 1 (state, nation, country).
Wait, could it be Sense 1? Yes.

Let's double check.
"many Latin American countries" -> nations/states.
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government.
I will output 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong <t>recovery</t>."
The word "recovery" here refers to economic recovery, which means returning to a normal or original state of economic health after a recession.
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=return to an original state | examples=the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid
2. definition=gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
3. definition=the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)

Sense 1 fits best, as economic recovery is a return to an original state (pre-recession state).
Sense 2 is about sickness or injury.
Sense 3 is about regaining something lost (like recovering a lost file or stolen goods).

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

The word "week" is used in the phrase "this week".
Senses:
1. any period of seven consecutive days | it rained for a week
2. hours or days of work in a calendar week | they worked a 40-hour week
3. a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday (or generally a calendar week)

Wait, "this week" refers to the current calendar week. Sense 3 is "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" (which corresponds to calendar week).
Let's check WordNet senses for "week".
Sense 1: week, hebdomad (any period of seven consecutive days) "it rained for a week"
Sense 2: week (a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday)
Sense 3: workweek, week (hours or days of work in a calendar week) "they worked a 40-hour week"

In the sentence, "this week" means the current calendar week. So it's Sense 3 (a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday). Wait, let me double check the exact definitions in WordNet.
WordNet:
1. week, hebdomad (any period of seven consecutive days) "it rained for a week"
2. week (a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday)
3. workweek, week (hours or days of work in a calendar week) "they worked a 40-hour week"
4. week, calendar week (a week starting on a specific day, e.g., Sunday or Monday). Wait, the prompt gives:
1. definition=any period of seven consecutive days | examples=it rained for a week
2. definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

Since "this week" refers to the calendar week, it matches sense 3.

Let's review the options.
1: any period of 7 days
2: work week
3: calendar week (starting on Sunday)

"reported this week" -> calendar week. Thus, 3.
Let's consider if "this week" could be 1. "any period of seven consecutive days". No, "this week" implies the calendar week.

I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity.
Sentence: "... reported this week that ..."
Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "(The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the <t>proportion</t> of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB-"
The word is "proportion".
The context is "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty", which means the percentage or fraction (32%).
Sense 1: the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole. (This matches percentage/fraction).
Sense 2: magnitude or extent.
Sense 3: balance among the parts of something.
Sense 4: the relation between things with respect to their comparative quantity...
Sense 5: harmonious arrangement...

Sense 1 specifically defines proportion as a quotient (part divided by whole), which corresponds exactly to "32%" (the part living in poverty divided by the whole population).
Let's double check WordNet senses for "proportion".
Sense 1: proportion, percentage, percent, per centum (the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole)
Sense 2: proportion, dimension (magnitude or extent) "a building of vast proportions"
Sense 3: proportion, balance, balance of proportions (balance among the parts of something)
Sense 4: proportion (the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree) "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations"
Sense 5: proportion, balance, symmetry (harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design))

In "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty ... to 32%", it clearly refers to a percentage. So Sense 1 is the exact match.
Therefore, the answer is 1.

The sentence is: "But the <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)."
The word "mood" here refers to the general feeling, atmosphere, or prevailing psychological state of a country or its people.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling (e.g., temper)
2. the prevailing psychological state (e.g., climate of opinion, the mood of the country)
3. verb inflections (grammar)

In the context of "varies widely from country to country", it refers to the prevailing psychological state or climate of opinion/feeling in a country (e.g., public mood, national mood).
Sense 2 definition: "the prevailing psychological state" (synonyms: climate, mood). Example: "the climate of opinion". "the mood of the country".
Sense 1 definition: "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" (synonyms: temper, humor, mood). Example: "depended on his temper".

"the mood varies widely from country to country" -> public mood, national mood. This matches Sense 2 (prevailing psychological state).
Let's double check WordNet.
WordNet senses for "mood":
1. temper, humor, humour, mood (a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling) "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time"; "he was in a bad humor"
2. climate, mood (the prevailing psychological state) "the climate of opinion"; "the national mood"
3. mood, modality, mode (verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker)

The sentence "But the mood varies widely from country to country" uses "mood" in the sense of "the national mood", which corresponds to Sense 2.

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.
