Target lemma: year
Target surface form: years
Context:
It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two <t>years</t> ago. The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "years" in the context: "The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two <t>years</t> ago."
The context refers to a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days, specifically "two years ago".
Sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. Examples: "she is 4 years old; 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.
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.

The context clearly uses "years" to mean a period of time containing 365 days (two years ago).
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
I will return {"sense_index": 1}.

The target word is "United States".
Context: "The <t>United States</t> is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern..."
The context refers to the country as a political entity or nation, not specifically the government branches, although it's acting in a diplomatic capacity. Wait, "United States is not going to do a deal" - this could be the country (sense 1) or the government (sense 2).
Let's look at the synonyms:
Sense 1: United States of America, America, the States, US, USA (the country)
Sense 2: United States government, U.S. government, U.S. (the government)
In the context, "The United States is not going to do a deal..."
Is it the country or the government? Usually, "United States" in this context refers to the country (the nation).
Let's check the context again: "The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action..."
This is referring to the country as a whole, or the nation.
Wait, let's consider sense 1: "North American republic containing 50 states..."
Sense 2: "the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States"
Often, "United States" in diplomatic contexts refers to the country.
Let's see: "The United States is not going to do a deal..."
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at similar examples. "The United States is not going to do a deal" -> country.
Let's choose 1.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each" -> "do a deal" -> "make a bargain".
Yes, sense 2.

The target word is "text".
Context: "...Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers."
The context is about climate change talks, negotiations, and a specific document or draft agreement being discussed.
Sense 1: the words of something written (textual matter). "the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified" refers to the written document/agreement.
Sense 2: a passage from the Bible.
Sense 3: a book prepared for use in schools or colleges.
Sense 4: the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.).

Sense 1 fits best, as it refers to the words of the written agreement/document being negotiated.
Let's double check. "the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified" -> the words of the written document.
Sense 1: "the words of something written"
Sense 4: "the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.)"
Sense 1 is more appropriate for a draft agreement or document in negotiations.
Let's see: "the text of the mayor's speech", "the printed text". Here it's the text of the agreement.
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the options.
1. sense_key=text%1:10:00:: | definition=the words of something written
4. sense_key=text%1:10:01:: | definition=the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.)

In diplomatic contexts, "the text" refers to the written document or the words of the agreement. Sense 1 is the most general and accurate for "the words of something written".
I'll go with 1.

2. sense_key=observer%1:18:01:: | definition=an expert who observes and comments on something | synonyms=commentator

Wait, "outside observers" in the context of verifying cuts. Are they experts who observe and comment, or just people who become aware?
Let's check the context: "make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers."
Verifying cuts implies an expert or official role, someone who observes and comments or evaluates.
Sense 2: "an expert who observes and comments on something" (commentator, observer).
Sense 1: "a person who becomes aware (of things or events) through the senses" (perceiver, percipient, beholder).

"outside observers" in international agreements usually refers to experts or independent monitors who observe and comment/verify.
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"verified by outside observers" -> experts who observe and comment on something.
Yes, sense 2.

Sense 1: a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day. Synonyms: hr, 60 minutes. Example: the job will take more than an hour.
Sense 2: clock time.
Sense 3: a special and memorable period.
Sense 4: distance measured by the time taken to cover it.

"an hour after" clearly refers to a period of time (duration), which matches Sense 1.
Let's double check. "an hour after" -> duration of 60 minutes.
Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

"earlier in the week" refers to a general period of seven consecutive days, not specifically a calendar week starting on Sunday, nor a workweek.

"earlier in the week" -> any period of seven consecutive days.
Sense 1: week%1:28:00::
Sense 3: week%1:28:02:: (calendar week)

reasoning_content:
The target word is "United States".
Context: "...saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming."
The context refers to the country, the North American republic, not specifically the government branches (though it's related, the country itself is the entity making the statement or being referred to as a nation).
Wait, "the United States would not help China financially" - this refers to the country/nation.
Sense 1: North American republic containing 50 states...
Sense 2: the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States.

Let's look at the context: "The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern..."
This refers to the country as a whole, or the government? "The United States is not going to do a deal..."
Usually, "United States" in this context (a country negotiating, helping financially) is sense 1 (the country).
Let's check the examples or typical usage. "The United States would not help China financially" -> the country.
Sense 1 is the country. Sense 2 is the government.
Is it the government or the country? "The United States is not going to do a deal..."
In WordNet, "United States" (country) is sense 1. "United States government" is sense 2.
Often, when it says "The United States is not going to do a deal", it's the country.
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming."
This is the country.
I will choose sense 1.
Let's double check.
"United States" -> sense 1: North American republic containing 50 states...
Yes.

8. all of the living human inhabitants of the earth (human race, humanity, humankind, human beings, humans, mankind)

"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the human race / all of the living human inhabitants of the earth.
Wait, "world's major powers" means the major powers of the Earth / human race.
Let's check sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" (human race, humanity, humankind, human beings, humans, mankind). Example: "all the world loves a lover".
Is it sense 8? "world's major powers" -> the major powers of the world (humanity).
Or sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on" (Earth, globe).
Or sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" (domain). Example: "the Western world".
Wait, "the world's major powers" -> the major powers of the world.
Let's consider "world" in "world's major powers".
"world" here refers to the human race or the globe.
"all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" (sense 8) fits "world's major powers" (the major powers of the human race).
Let's check sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth". Synonyms: human race, humanity, humankind, human beings, humans, mankind.
"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the human race.
Let's check sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on". Synonyms: Earth, globe.
"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the Earth.
But "world" in "world's major powers" is often synonymous with "humanity" or "the globe".
Wait, "world" in "world's major powers" is possessive. "the world's major powers".
Could it be sense 8? "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth".
Let's look at similar examples. "the world's population" -> sense 8.
"the world's major powers" -> the major powers of the world (humanity).
Let's check sense 8 again. "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth".
Is there another sense?
Sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth"
Sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on"
"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the world.
In WordNet, "world" as in "the world's major powers" is often sense 8 (human race, humanity).
Let's see: "all the world loves a lover" -> sense 8.
"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the human race.
Let's consider "world" in "the world's major powers".
If I say "the world's major powers", I mean the major powers of the human race.
Let's check sense 8.
Yes, "world" meaning "humanity" or "human race" fits "world's major powers".
Wait, could it be sense 4? "the 3rd planet from the sun". "the world's major powers" -> the major powers of the Earth.
But "world" in this context usually refers to the human inhabitants.
Let's check sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth".
"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the human race.
I will choose sense 8.
Let's double check.
"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the world.
"world" = human race, humanity.
Yes, sense 8.
Let's review the options.
1. universe
2. people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest (the Western world)
3. reality
4. Earth, globe
5. populace, public
6. a part of the earth that can be considered separately
7. worldly concern
8. all of the living human inhabitants of the earth

"world's major powers" -> the major powers of the human race.
I'll go with 8.
Wait, "world's major powers" could also be "the globe's major powers", but "human race" is a better fit for "major powers" (which are nations, inhabited by humans).
Let's choose 8.

The target word is "battle" in the context: "The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action."
The context describes a political/economic struggle or conflict between countries (China and US feuding, poorer nations insisting, major powers fighting over who should bear the costs).
Sense 1: a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war. (Not military)
Sense 2: an energetic attempt to achieve something. (struggle, getting through the crowd was a real struggle, he fought a battle for recognition)
Sense 3: an open clash between two opposing groups (or individuals). (conflict, struggle, the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph; police tried to control the battle between the pro- and anti-abortion mobs)

Wait, "battle" here is "The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations..."
Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
Sense 2: "an energetic attempt to achieve something" (struggle)
Sense 3: "an open clash between two opposing groups (or individuals)" (conflict, struggle)
The context says "with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations". Feuding implies a clash between two opposing groups.
Also, "major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs".
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "police tried to control the battle between the pro- and anti-abortion mobs". This is a clash between groups.
Wait, "battle" in "The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet" could be sense 2 or 3.
Let's look at sense 2: "an energetic attempt to achieve something" -> "getting through the crowd was a real struggle; he fought a battle for recognition".
Sense 3: "an open clash between two opposing groups (or individuals)" -> "the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph; police tried to control the battle between the pro- and anti-abortion mobs".
Here, "China and United States feuding over their respective obligations" is an open clash between two opposing groups.
Let's consider "battle" as a clash between groups. "The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding..."
Is it sense 2 or 3?
"battle" = clash between two opposing groups.
Let's search for similar examples. "battle between the pro- and anti-abortion mobs" -> clash between groups.
"feuding over their respective obligations" -> clash between groups.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"battle" in "The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations..."
"feuding" = clash.
"major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs" = clash.
So sense 3: an open clash between two opposing groups (or individuals).

Let's review the options.
1. military
2. energetic attempt to achieve something
3. open clash between two opposing groups

"China and United States feuding" -> two opposing groups.
So sense 3.
I will output {"sense_index": 3}.

The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern, who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers. Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming. With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake, fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies. The current battle is as much about saving individual <t>economies</t> as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action. Ricardo Ulate, a Costa Rican delegate, said it's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases, even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions.

The target word is "China" in the context of international relations, climate change negotiations, and geopolitics.
The context mentions "U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern", "Obama administration", "Bush administration", "Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei", "world's major powers", "developing world", "industrial world", "emerging economies".
This clearly refers to the country, the People's Republic of China.
Candidate sense 1: "a communist nation that covers a vast territory in eastern Asia; the most populous country in the world" (People's Republic of China, mainland China, Communist China, Red China, PRC, Cathay).
Candidate sense 2: "high quality porcelain originally made only in China".
Candidate sense 3: "a government on the island of Taiwan established in 1949 by Chiang Kai-shek after the conquest of mainland China by the Communists led by Mao Zedong" (Taiwan, Nationalist China, Republic of China).
Candidate sense 4: "dishware made of high quality porcelain".

The context is about the country of China (PRC), not Taiwan, and not porcelain.
Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

The context talks about the country "United States" feuding with China over obligations.
Sense 1: North American republic containing 50 states... (the country)
Sense 2: the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States (the government)

In the context, "China and United States feuding over their respective obligations" refers to the countries (or the nations as geopolitical entities).
Wait, "China and United States feuding" - China is a country. United States is a country.
Let's check the context again: "The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up..."
"with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations"
This refers to the country/nation.
Sense 1 is the country.
Sense 2 is the government.
Usually, when paired with "China", it refers to the country (Sense 1).
Let's double check. "China and United States feuding" -> countries.
Therefore, Sense 1.

The target word is "obligations" in the context of "China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action."
The context is about the social or moral force that binds countries to take action (curbing greenhouse gases, taking bolder action).

The target word is "world" in the context: "...poorer nations insist that the <t>world</t>'s two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action."
The phrase is "the world's two dozen most influential countries".
This refers to the people or countries of the earth, or the human race, or the globe.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. universe, existence, creation, cosmos, macrocosm
2. people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest (the Western world)
3. all of your experiences that determine how things appear to you (reality)
4. the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on (Earth, globe)
5. people in general considered as a whole (populace, public)
6. a part of the earth that can be considered separately
7. the concerns of this life as distinguished from heaven and the afterlife
8. all of the living human inhabitants of the earth (human race, humanity, humankind, human beings, humans, mankind)

"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> "the world" here refers to the Earth or the human race.
Wait, "the world's two dozen most influential countries" means the countries of the world.
Is it sense 4 (Earth, globe) or sense 8 (all of the living human inhabitants of the earth)?
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> "the world" as in the globe/Earth.
Let's check sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on" (Earth, globe). Examples: "he sailed around the world".
Sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" (human race, humanity, humankind, human beings, humans, mankind). Examples: "all the world loves a lover".
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> "the world" is the possessor of the countries. The countries belong to the globe/Earth.
Wait, "the world's two dozen most influential countries" could be "the globe's".
Let's consider "world" in "the world's two dozen most influential countries".
Is it "the globe's" or "humanity's"? "the globe's two dozen most influential countries" makes sense.
Let's look at similar examples. "the world's population" -> sense 8? "the world's economy" -> sense 4?
Actually, "the world" as a geopolitical entity or the planet.
Let's check sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on".
Let's check sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth".
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> countries of the world.
In WordNet, "world" meaning the planet is sense 4.
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> the countries of the Earth.
Let's see: "the world's major powers" -> "the globe's major powers".
I will choose sense 4.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake, fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies. The current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet, with China and United States feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action."
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> the countries of the world.
Could it be sense 4? Yes, "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 4: Earth, globe.
Sense 8: human race, humanity.
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> "the globe's two dozen most influential countries".
I'll go with 4.
Wait, "the world's" as in "the world's population" is often sense 8. But "the world's countries" is sense 4.
Let's consider "world" in "the world's two dozen most influential countries".
Is it "the globe's"? Yes.
I will output 4.
Let's double check.
"the world's major powers" -> "the globe's major powers".
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> "the globe's two dozen most influential countries".
Sense 4 is "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on".
I'll select 4.
Wait, could it be 8? "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth". "humanity's two dozen most influential countries" doesn't sound as natural as "the globe's two dozen most influential countries".
I'll go with 4.
Let's review the options.
1. universe
2. domain
3. reality
4. Earth, globe
5. populace, public
6. part of the earth
7. worldly concern
8. human race, humanity
"the world's two dozen most influential countries" -> the countries of the globe.
Sense 4 is the best fit.
Another example: "the world's largest economy" -> globe.
I will choose 4.
