Target lemma: proportion
Target surface form: proportion
Context:
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 Congress 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. 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 recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor. (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- But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4).

reasoning_content:
The target word is "proportion" in the context: "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."
The context talks about a percentage (32%), which is a part divided by the whole, or a relation between things with respect to their comparative quantity.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=proportion%1:24:00:: | definition=the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole
2. sense_key=proportion%1:07:00:: | definition=magnitude or extent
3. sense_key=proportion%1:25:00:: | definition=balance among the parts of something
4. sense_key=proportion%1:24:01:: | definition=the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree | synonyms=ratio | examples=an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations; a dry martini has a large proportion of gin
5. sense_key=proportion%1:07:01:: | definition=harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole

Wait, "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" is a percentage, which is a quotient of a part divided by the whole.
Sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole"
Sense 4: "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree"

Let's check WordNet for "proportion".
proportion%1:24:00:: is "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole"
proportion%1:24:01:: is "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree"

Is "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" a quotient? Yes, 32% is a quotient.
Wait, let's look at the examples for sense 4: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations; a dry martini has a large proportion of gin".
"proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" is similar to "proportion of the book".
Wait, sense 1 is "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole".
Let's see: "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" -> 32%. This is a part divided by the whole.
But wait, in WordNet, "proportion" as in "a large proportion of" is often sense 4.
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
proportion%1:24:00:: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole"
proportion%1:24:01:: "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree"

Actually, "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" is a part of the whole.
Is it sense 1 or sense 4?
Let's search for "proportion of" in WordNet.
"an inordinate proportion of the book" -> sense 4.
"a large proportion of gin" -> sense 4.
"proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" -> this is a part of the whole, but it's expressed as a percentage.
Wait, "proportion" meaning "percentage" or "fraction" is sense 1?
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
proportion n
1. proportion (the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole)
2. proportion (magnitude or extent) "a building of vast proportions"
3. proportion (balance among the parts of something) "symmetry"
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"; "a dry martini has a large proportion of gin"
5. proportion (harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design)) "in all perfectly beautiful objects there is found the opposition of one part to another and a reciprocal balance"

Wait, "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" is a part of the whole.
Is it sense 1 or sense 4?
"proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" -> "proportion" here means the fraction or percentage.
Let's consider "proportion of the book" -> sense 4.
"proportion of Latin Americans" -> sense 4? Or sense 1?
"proportion" as a percentage is often sense 1. "The proportion of women in the workforce is 50%."
Let's look at the gloss for sense 1: "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole". 32% is exactly a quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part (Latin Americans in poverty) is divided by the magnitude of the whole (Latin Americans).
Sense 4: "the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree".
I think sense 1 is the most precise for a percentage.
Wait, let's look at the examples for sense 1 in WordNet. There are no examples given in the prompt for sense 1, but the definition is "the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole".
In the context: "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."
32% is a quotient.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"proportion" in "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty"
Could it be sense 1? Yes.
Could it be sense 4? "an inordinate proportion of the book" is sense 4.
Is "proportion of Latin Americans" more like sense 1 or 4?
In many WSD datasets, "proportion" meaning "percentage" or "fraction" is mapped to sense 1.
Let's consider "proportion" in "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty".
If I say "a large proportion of the book", it's sense 4.
If I say "the proportion is 32%", it's sense 1.
The text says: "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."
This explicitly gives the quotient (32%). So sense 1 is highly appropriate.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole.
Sense 4: the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree.

"proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" -> the part is Latin Americans living in poverty, the whole is Latin Americans. The magnitude of the part divided by the magnitude of the whole is 32%. This perfectly matches sense 1.

Let's review the prompt's examples for sense 4: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations; a dry martini has a large proportion of gin". These don't explicitly state a quotient, but rather a comparative quantity.
Here, the text says "to 32%", which is a quotient.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's consider if "proportion" could be sense 4. "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" is a part of things. But the explicit mention of "32%" strongly points to the mathematical quotient sense (sense 1).
I will go with sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read the context carefully.
"the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."
Yes, 32% is the quotient.
I'll select 1.

Wait, sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation".
In "from country to country", it means from one nation to another.
Let's see: "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession" -> countries as political entities or nations.

Brazil is a country.
In WordNet, "country" sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic).
Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation" (state, land).
Often, "country" in the sense of "nation" is sense 1.
Let's check WordNet:
country%1:14:00:: (nation, state, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic)
country%1:15:00:: (state, land) - territory occupied by a nation.
"from country to country" -> "he visited several European countries" is sense 2.

"many Latin American countries" -> nations.
"from country to country" -> from nation to nation.
Let's consider "country" as "nation".
Is "country" in "from country to country" sense 1 or 2?
If I say "from country to country", I mean from one nation to another.
Let's look at similar examples. "He traveled from country to country." -> territory? Or nation?
Actually, WordNet often maps "country" meaning "nation" to sense 1.
Let's check the synsets:
country%1:14:00:: -> nation, state, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic.
country%1:15:00:: -> state, land. (territory occupied by a nation)
In the context: "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession" -> countries as political/economic entities.
"from country to country" -> from one nation to another.
I will guess sense 1, as it aligns with "nation" and "state" as political bodies, which fits "Latin American countries", "Brazil", "government", "Congress".
Wait, "he visited several European countries" is sense 2.
Is "from country to country" more like visiting territories, or more like nations?
"mood varies widely from country to country" -> the mood of the people in each nation varies.
Actually, sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
Sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation or country".
If "mood varies", maybe it's the people? No, "from country to country" is a fixed phrase meaning from one nation to another.
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic.
Synonyms for sense 2: state, land.
"country" as "nation" is definitely sense 1.
Let's choose 1.
Let's double check. "country" in "from country to country".
If I search for "from country to country" in WordNet, it might not be there, but "European countries" is sense 2.
Why is "European countries" sense 2? Because it's the territory he visited.
Here, "mood varies widely from country to country". Mood is a property of the people or the nation.
"Latin American countries" -> nations.
I'll go with 1.
Let's reconsider 1 vs 2.
"country" = nation. Sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
Yes, 1 is the best fit for "nation".
Let's review the prompt: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government... many Latin American countries... from country to country".
This is clearly about the nation/state as a political entity.
Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "problem" in the context: "more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country".
The context talks about crime and unemployment as issues or difficulties facing the country.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=problem%1:26:00:: | definition=a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved | synonyms=job | examples=she and her husband are having problems; it is always a job to contact him
2. sense_key=problem%1:10:00:: | definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
3. sense_key=problem%1:09:00:: | definition=a source of difficulty | synonyms=trouble | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?

Wait, "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" (sense 1) vs "a source of difficulty" (sense 3).
Crime and unemployment are sources of difficulty or states of difficulty?
"the most important problem facing their country"
Let's check WordNet for "problem".
Sense 1: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved (e.g., "she and her husband are having problems")
Sense 2: a question raised for consideration or solution (e.g., "our homework consisted of ten problems to solve")
Sense 3: a source of difficulty (e.g., "one trouble after another delayed the job", "what's the problem?")

Wait, "problem facing their country" - is it a state of difficulty or a source of difficulty?
Actually, "problem" as "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" fits "the most important problem facing their country".
Let's re-read the definitions.
Sense 1: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Sense 3: a source of difficulty.

Is crime a source of difficulty or a state of difficulty?
"cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country"
In WordNet, "problem" has:
1. a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved
2. a question raised for consideration or solution
3. a source of difficulty

Let's look at similar examples. "the problem of poverty" -> state of difficulty?
Wait, if it's "problem facing their country", it's a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Let's consider "problem" in "the most important problem facing their country".
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"problem" (state of difficulty that needs to be resolved) - "she and her husband are having problems"
"problem" (source of difficulty) - "what's the problem?"

Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
problem%1:26:00:: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
problem%1:09:00:: "a source of difficulty"

"crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country"
This is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Wait, let's search for "problem facing" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Often, "problem" in the sense of a societal issue is sense 1.
Let's look at the synonyms:
Sense 1: job
Sense 3: trouble

"the most important trouble facing their country" vs "the most important state of difficulty facing their country".
Actually, "problem" as a societal issue is usually sense 1.
Let's consider "problem" in SemCor or similar.
"the problem of unemployment" -> state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
I will go with sense 1.

Wait, let's re-evaluate sense 1 vs sense 3.
Sense 1: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Sense 3: a source of difficulty.
"crime" is a source of difficulty? Or a state of difficulty?
"unemployment" is a state of difficulty.
"problem" = state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
I'll choose 1.
Let's double check.
"cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country"
If I say "the problem is crime", crime is the source of difficulty?
No, "problem" here means the issue itself, which is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: job. "it is always a job to contact him".
Synonyms for sense 3: trouble. "one trouble after another delayed the job".
Is "problem" in this context closer to "trouble" or "job"?
"the most important trouble facing their country" - makes sense.
"the most important state of difficulty that needs to be resolved facing their country" - makes sense.
Actually, in WordNet, "problem" (state of difficulty) is often used for societal issues.
Let's guess 1.
Wait, "problem" as "a source of difficulty" (sense 3) is often used for "what's the problem?" or "he is a problem".
Here, "crime" and "unemployment" are problems (states of difficulty that need to be resolved).
I will output 1.
Let's reconsider 1.
"problem%1:26:00::" -> a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Yes, "problem facing their country" is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
I'll go with 1.

The phrase "problem facing their country" refers to the nation as a political entity or the state.
Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (state, nation, land).
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation".
Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country".

"problem facing their country" -> the country as a political entity or nation.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "African nations".
"problem facing their country" aligns well with sense 1 (a politically organized body of people under a single government, i.e., a nation/state).
Wait, "country" in "problem facing their country" could be sense 1.
Let's consider "country" as a nation.
Sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government.
Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation.
Sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country.

"problem facing their country" -> the country as a political entity.
I will choose sense 1.
Let's double check. "problem facing their country" -> the nation.
Synonyms for sense 1: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic.
Yes, sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 1 is "country%1:14:00::".
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
So I will return {"sense_index": 1}.
Wait, is "country" here referring to the nation (sense 1) or the territory (sense 2)? "problem facing their country" usually means the nation as a whole (political entity).

The target word is "year" in the context: "Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last <t>year</t> and is the lowest figure since 1995."
The context refers to "last year", which means the previous calendar year or a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
Sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. Examples: "in the year 1920".
Sense 2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity. Examples: "a school year".
Sense 3: the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun.
Sense 4: a body of students who graduate together.

"last year" clearly refers to the previous 12-month period, which aligns with Sense 1.
Let's double check. "last year" -> a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
Yes, sense 1.
