Context:
US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the <t>state</t> support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges.

The target word is "state" in the context: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the <t>state</t> support."

The context talks about "state support", "state shackles", referring to the government of the United States (the federal government, specifically the TARP fund).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. state%1:15:01:: - territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation (e.g., US state like California). Not this, it's the federal government.
2. state%1:03:00:: - the way something is with respect to its main attributes.
3. state%1:14:01:: - the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state. Examples: "the state has lowered its income tax". This fits "state support" (support from the government).
4. state%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country).
5. state%1:26:02:: - chemistry state of matter.
6. state%1:26:01:: - state of depression or agitation.
7. state%1:15:00:: - territory occupied by a nation.
8. state%1:14:02:: - the federal department in the US that sets and maintains foreign policies (State Department).

"state support" means support from the government. Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" fits perfectly. "the state has lowered its income tax" -> "the state support" (support from the government).

Let's double check sense 3 vs sense 4.
Sense 3: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state.
Sense 4: a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country).
"state support" refers to support provided by the government. So sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's review the examples for sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax". This is an agentive use of "state" meaning the government. "state support" = support from the government.

Therefore, sense 3 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 3}.
I will output this.

The target word is "support" in the context: "Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support."
The context talks about US banks repaying state support, specifically mentioning "the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion".
This refers to financial resources provided to make some project or entity possible, or financial backing.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. support%1:04:04:: - activity of 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.

10. support%1:06:00:: - any device that bears the weight.
11. support%1:21:01:: - financial resources provided to make some project possible (synonyms: financial support, funding, backing, financial backing).

Sense 11 fits perfectly: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" or "financial backing". The context mentions "repay the state support" and "amount USD 45 billion", which is clearly financial resources/funding.

Let's double check sense 11 vs sense 1.
Sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities"
Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" (synonyms: financial support, funding, backing, financial backing).
The text says "repay the state support". You repay financial resources (funding/backing). "repay the support" -> repay the financial resources.
Sense 11 is the best fit.
Let's review the examples for 11: "the foundation provided support for the experiment".
Context: "repay the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion". This is financial resources.
Therefore, sense 11 is the correct choice.

The target word is "restrictions" in the context: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
The context talks about rules or regulations that limit what the banks can do (e.g., limits on manager bonuses).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. restriction%1:09:00:: | definition=a principle that limits the extent of something | synonyms=limitation | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements
2. restriction%1:04:00:: | definition=an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation) | synonyms=limitation
3. restriction%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of keeping something within specified bounds (by force if necessary) | synonyms=confinement | examples=the restriction of the infection to a focal area

Sense 1 is "a principle that limits the extent of something". The context mentions "restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses". This fits "a principle that limits the extent of something" or "an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)".
Wait, "restrictions" here refers to the rules or conditions (principles) that limit their actions.
Let's re-read sense 1: "a principle that limits the extent of something". Example: "I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements".
Sense 2: "an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)".
In the context, "the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses". These are specific rules or conditions (principles) that limit their actions.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"restrictions" as plural noun often refers to the rules themselves (sense 1).
Let's check WordNet for "restriction".
Sense 1: a principle that limits the extent of something.
Sense 2: an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation).
The context says "the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses". These are the rules/conditions.
"limits on manager bonuses" are principles/rules that limit the extent of something.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's consider sense 1 vs sense 2. "an act of limiting" vs "a principle that limits". The restrictions are the rules themselves, not the act of limiting. "wiggle themselves free from the restrictions" -> free from the rules/conditions.
So sense 1.
Let's double check.
"restrictions" -> "limits on manager bonuses". A limit is a principle that limits the extent of something.
Yes, sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms. Sense 1: limitation. Sense 2: limitation.
But sense 1 is "a principle that limits the extent of something".
I will choose 1.
End of thought.

The context talks about the banks repaying state support (money) and wanting to get free from restrictions that came with the "acceptance of the money".
This means the act of taking something that is offered (the money).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. mental attitude that something is believable
2. act of accepting with approval; favorable reception
3. state of being acceptable and accepted
4. contract law: words signifying consent to the terms of an offer
5. banking: a time draft drawn on and accepted by a bank
6. disposition to tolerate or accept people or situations
7. the act of taking something that is offered (her acceptance of the gift encouraged him; he anticipated their acceptance of his offer)

Sense 7 fits perfectly: "the act of taking something that is offered". The banks took the money (state support), and now they want to repay it to get rid of the restrictions that came with taking it.

Let's double check.
"acceptance of the money" -> taking the money that was offered.
Sense 7: "the act of taking something that is offered"

The target word is "money" in the context: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the <t>money</t>, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
The context talks about US banks repaying state support (TARP funds). The "money" refers to the financial support, the wealth or funds provided by the state.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender (e.g., we tried to collect the money he owed us)
2. wealth reckoned in terms of money (e.g., all his money is in real estate)
3. the official currency issued by a government or national bank (e.g., he changed his money into francs)

Wait, "acceptance of the money" refers to the state support, which is wealth/funds.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"wealth reckoned in terms of money" - "all his money is in real estate"
"the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender" - "we tried to collect the money he owed us"
In the context, "acceptance of the money" refers to the funds (USD 45 billion) they received. This is wealth/funds.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion... acceptance of the money".
Is it sense 1 (medium of exchange) or sense 2 (wealth)?
Actually, "money" as in "funds" or "wealth" is sense 2.
Let's check the examples. "we tried to collect the money he owed us" -> this is funds/wealth.
Wait, "wealth reckoned in terms of money" is sense 2.
Let's consider "money" as "funds" or "capital".
In WordNet, money%1:21:00:: is "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender".
money%1:21:01:: is "the official currency issued by a government or national bank".
money%1:21:02:: is "wealth reckoned in terms of money".

"acceptance of the money" -> the funds they received.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"wealth reckoned in terms of money" fits "funds" or "capital" better.
Let's look at similar examples. "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money..."
This refers to the financial support, i.e., wealth/funds.
Sense 2: wealth reckoned in terms of money.
Let's double check.
"money" in "acceptance of the money" = the financial support, the funds.
Sense 2 is "wealth reckoned in terms of money".
Sense 1 is "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender".
I will go with sense 2.
Wait, "wealth reckoned in terms of money" is often used for "all his money is in real estate".
But "funds" is also sense 2.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"money" as in "funds" is often sense 2.
Let's choose 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "we tried to collect the money he owed us" -> this is also funds.
But "wealth reckoned in terms of money" is specifically about the amount of wealth.
"acceptance of the money" -> the money (funds) provided by the state.
I'll output 2.
Let's reconsider. "money" in "acceptance of the money" refers to the state support, which is a sum of money, i.e., wealth.
I will choose 2.
Wait, "wealth reckoned in terms of money" is sense 2.
Let's choose 2.

The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on <t>manager</t> bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans.

reasoning_content:
The context is about US banks repaying state support and wanting to wiggle free from restrictions, such as limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high "charges".
The word "charges" here refers to fees or prices charged for some article or service, or financial liabilities.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
3. sense_key=charge%1:21:02:: | definition=the price charged for some article or service | examples=the admission charge
8. sense_key=charge%1:21:01:: | definition=financial liabilities (such as a tax) | examples=the charges against the estate
11. sense_key=charge%1:10:03:: | definition=request for payment of a debt | synonyms=billing | examples=they submitted their charges at the end of each month

Wait, "paying of high charges" in the context of banks. Banks pay high charges (fees, interest, etc.) or maybe they charge high fees? "the paying of high charges" - this could mean the fees they have to pay, or the fees they charge. Wait, "limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges" - actually, it might mean the banks paying high charges (like interest or fees on the state support, or maybe they are restricted from paying high charges to someone? No, "paying of high charges" might be a translation of "Zahlungen hoher Gebühren" or something, or maybe "paying of high dividends"? Wait, "paying of high charges" - could it be "charges" as in fees?
Let's re-read: "such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
Wait, in German, "Zahlungen hoher Dividenden" (payment of high dividends) or "Zahlungen hoher Gebühren"?
Actually, "charges" in banking often means fees. "the price charged for some article or service" (sense 3).
Let's check sense 3: "the price charged for some article or service".
Is there a better fit?
Sense 8: "financial liabilities (such as a tax)".
Sense 11: "request for payment of a debt".
"paying of high charges" -> paying high fees.
Let's consider "charge" as a fee. "the price charged for some article or service" fits "fees".
Let's look at the context again: "the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
If it's "paying of high charges", it means the banks are paying high fees/charges (maybe to the state, or maybe it's a mistranslation of "dividends" or "bonuses"? No, "charges" is the target word).
Wait, "paying of high charges" - maybe it means the banks are restricted from paying high fees? Or maybe the state support came with limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges (fees to executives? No, that's bonuses).
Actually, "charges" in this context likely means "fees" or "prices".
Sense 3: "the price charged for some article or service" -> fee.
Let's check if there is a sense for "fee".
"charge" as a fee is sense 3.
Let's review the options.
3. sense_key=charge%1:21:02:: | definition=the price charged for some article or service | examples=the admission charge
This is the most standard sense for "charges" meaning fees.
Let's double check if there's any other.
8. financial liabilities (such as a tax) - "the charges against the estate".
11. request for payment of a debt - "they submitted their charges at the end of each month".
"paying of high charges" -> paying high fees. Sense 3 is the best fit for "fees".
I will choose 3.
Wait, let's search for "limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges".
Ah, "paying of high dividends" is often restricted. But the text says "charges". Maybe it's "charges" as in fees.
I'll go with 3.
Another possibility: "charges" as in financial liabilities (8). But "paying of high charges" sounds like paying high fees.
I will select 3.
Let's re-read carefully: "such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
If it's "paying of high charges", it means the banks are paying high fees (maybe to the government for the support, or maybe it's a bad translation of "dividends" but we must disambiguate "charges" as it is). "Charges" = fees = sense 3.
Yes, sense 3.

The target word is "amount" in the context: "The rest of the <t>amount</t> was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units."
The context talks about repaying support in the amount of USD 45 billion. Bank of America raised USD 19 billion from investors. The rest of the amount (the remaining quantity of money) was taken from its own kitty.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a quantity of money (sum, sum of money, amount of money)
2. the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion
3. how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify (measure, quantity)
4. a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers (sum, total)

Wait, "the rest of the amount" refers to the remaining quantity of money (the USD 45 billion total, minus the USD 19 billion raised from investors).
Is it sense 1 (a quantity of money) or sense 3 (how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify)?
Let's check the context again: "repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion... Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty..."
Here, "amount" refers to the quantity of money.
Synonyms for sense 1: sum, sum of money, amount of money.
Examples for sense 1: he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient.
This perfectly matches "the rest of the amount" (the rest of the money).
Let's consider sense 3: "how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify".
But "amount" here specifically refers to the money (USD 45 billion).
Wait, "the rest of the amount" -> the rest of the sum of money.
Let's see: "amount" in "the amount USD 45 billion" is clearly a quantity of money.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty..."
"amount" = sum of money.
Sense 1: a quantity of money.
Sense 3: how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify.
Sense 1 is more specific and fits "USD 45 billion" and "USD 19 billion".
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: sum, sum of money, amount of money.
Yes, "the rest of the sum" or "the rest of the amount of money".
I'll go with 1.

The target word is "sale" in the context: "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units."
The context refers to the act of selling business units to raise money.
Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. sale%1:04:00:: - a particular instance of selling (e.g., his first sale, complete the sale). This fits "the sale of business units" as a particular instance or act of selling.
2. sale%1:04:02:: - the general activity of selling (e.g., boost sales, sale of handguns). "sale of business units" is more of a specific instance or transaction rather than the general activity.
3. sale%1:04:01:: - an occasion for buying at specially reduced prices (e.g., cut-rate sale). Not applicable.
4. sale%1:26:00:: - the state of being purchasable (e.g., for sale). Not applicable.
5. sale%1:10:00:: - an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred... (e.g., sales agreement). While a sale involves an agreement, "the sale of business units" usually refers to the instance of selling (sense 1).

Wait, "the sale of business units" - is it a particular instance of selling (1) or the general activity (2)?
"sale of business units" -> a particular instance of selling.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "he has just made his first sale; they had to complete the sale before the banks closed".
"the sale of business units" is a specific transaction or instance of selling.
Sense 1: a particular instance of selling.
Sense 2: the general activity of selling.
"sale of business units" is a specific event/instance.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "through the sale of business units" -> the act of selling them.
Sense 1: a particular instance of selling.
Yes, sense 1.
Wait, let's look at sense 1 vs sense 5. Sense 5 is "an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred...". "sale of business units" could be the agreement, but "instance of selling" is more natural for "through the sale of".
I will choose 1.

The target word is "height" in the context: "The bank overstretched at the <t>height</t> of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."
The phrase is "at the height of the financial crisis".
This means the highest level or degree attainable, the peak of the financial crisis.

2. the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development (synonyms: acme, elevation, peak, pinnacle, summit, superlative)
3. (of a standing person) the distance from head to foot

The target word is "investment" in the context: "The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the <t>investment</t> bank Merrill Lynch."
Wait, "investment bank" is a compound noun, but the target is "investment".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit
2. money that is invested with an expectation of profit
3. the commitment of something other than money...
4. outer layer or covering...
5. the act of putting on robes...
6. the ceremonial act of clothing someone...

Wait, "investment bank" refers to a bank that deals with investments. The word "investment" here modifies "bank".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"investment bank" -> a bank that handles investments (money invested, or the act of investing).
Let's check the context: "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."
Merrill Lynch is an investment bank.
Sense 1: the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit.
Sense 2: money that is invested with an expectation of profit.
In "investment bank", "investment" refers to the business of investing (act of investing) or the funds. Usually, "investment" in "investment bank" is the act of investing or the business of investing.
Let's see: "investment bank" -> a bank that specializes in investments.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms.
Sense 1: investing
Sense 2: investment funds
"investment bank" is a bank that deals with investing. So sense 1 is more appropriate.
Let's consider "investment" as a noun adjunct. "investment bank" = bank for investing.
Sense 1: the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"investment bank" -> a bank that engages in investing.
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read the context. "taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch."
Is it sense 1? Yes, "investment" as in "investing".
Let's double check.
Sense 1: the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit.
Sense 2: money that is invested with an expectation of profit.
An investment bank is a financial institution that assists individuals, corporations, and governments in raising capital by underwriting or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities. It is about the *act* of investing or dealing in investments.
I'll go with 1.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=investment%1:04:00::
2. sense_key=investment%1:21:00::
I will output 1.

The target word is "state" in the context: "Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state."
The context talks about banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) raising cash to free themselves from liabilities with the "state". This refers to the government, specifically the US government (American taxpayer, US bank).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. state%1:15:01:: territory occupied by a constituent administrative district (e.g., US state).
2. state%1:03:00:: way something is with respect to its main attributes.
3. state%1:14:01:: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state. Examples: the state has lowered its income tax.
4. state%1:14:00:: a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country).
5. state%1:26:02:: chemistry state of matter.
6. state%1:26:01:: state of depression or agitation.
7. state%1:15:00:: territory occupied by a nation.
8. state%1:14:02:: Department of State.

In the context, "liabilities with the state" means liabilities with the government.
Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" fits perfectly. "the state has lowered its income tax" is similar to "liabilities with the state".
Let's double check sense 3 vs sense 4. Sense 4 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (nation, country). Sense 3 is "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state". "Liabilities with the state" refers to the government itself, not the nation as a whole.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's review the context: "free itself from its liabilities with the state." The state here is the government that provided the bailout money (American taxpayer).
Sense 3: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state.
Yes, sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "bank" in the context: "Already on Thursday, the US <t>bank</t> was able to announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles."
The context is about a financial institution (Citigroup, Bank of America).
Sense 2: "a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities" (synonyms: depository financial institution, banking concern, banking company).
This perfectly matches the context of a US bank announcing a capital increase.
Therefore, the best sense is 2.
