Target lemma: uproar
Target surface form: uproar
Context:
Deutsche Bank pays multi-million pound fine in the USA Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the <t>uproar</t> around Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank: Deutsche Bank faces a multi-million pound fine in the USA. As if the problems at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank, the industry giant's past in the USA is now also catching up with it. Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank will pay 145 million dollars (106 million Euros) to settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis.

Candidate senses:

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "uproar".
Context: "Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar around Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank..."
The uproar here refers to a state of commotion, noise, and confusion, or public outcry, rather than just a loud confused noise from many sources (like a physical sound).
Let's check the senses:
1. sense_key=uproar%1:26:00:: | definition=a state of commotion and noise and confusion | synonyms=tumult, tumultuousness, garboil
2. sense_key=uproar%1:11:00:: | definition=loud confused noise from many sources | synonyms=hubbub, brouhaha, katzenjammer

"uproar around Josef Ackermann" implies a state of commotion and confusion (public outcry, scandal), which aligns with sense 1 (tumult, tumultuousness). Sense 2 is more about literal loud noise (hubbub, katzenjammer).
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"uproar around Josef Ackermann" -> a state of commotion and noise and confusion (figurative or literal, but definitely a state of commotion).
Sense 1: a state of commotion and noise and confusion.
Sense 2: loud confused noise from many sources.
Sense 1 is better for a scandal or public controversy.
I will choose sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "problems" in the context: "As if the problems at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank, the industry giant's past in the USA is now also catching up with it."
The context talks about "trouble" (Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar...).
The synonyms for sense 3 are "trouble", and the examples are "one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?".
Sense 1 is "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" (synonyms: job).
Sense 3 is "a source of difficulty" (synonyms: trouble).
The context says "Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar... As if the problems at home were not already enough..."
"problems" here refers to sources of difficulty or trouble.
Let's check the context again: "As if the problems at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank..."
This aligns perfectly with "a source of difficulty" (trouble).
Sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved.
Sense 3: a source of difficulty.
"problems at home" = troubles at home.
I will choose sense 3.
Wait, "problems" in "problems at home" could be "a source of difficulty" (trouble).
Yes, "trouble" is explicitly mentioned in the preceding sentence: "Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar..."
So "problems" = "trouble".
Sense 3 has synonym "trouble".

reasoning_content:
The target word is "home" in the context: "As if the problems at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank, the industry giant's past in the USA is now also catching up with it."
The context contrasts "home" with "in the USA". Deutsche Bank is Frankfurt-based (Germany).
So "home" refers to the country or state or city where you live or where the company is based.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. where you live at a particular time (place)
2. housing that someone is living in (dwelling)
3. the country or state or city where you live (examples: Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home; his home is New Jersey)
4. baseball base
5. place where you are stationed
6. place where something began and flourished
7. environment offering affection and security
8. social unit living together
9. institution where people are cared for

Sense 3 fits perfectly: "the country or state or city where you live" or where the entity is based, contrasting with "in the USA". The example "Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home" is very similar to a company having problems "at home" (Germany) vs "in the USA".

Therefore, sense 3 is the best match.
Checking the exact index: 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "bankruptcy".
Context: "Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank will pay 145 million dollars (106 million Euros) to settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis."
The context refers to the legal process or state of insolvency of five major credit unions.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. spiritual bankruptcy; moral bankruptcy (abstract property)
2. inability to discharge all your debts as they come due (failure)
3. a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent

Wait, "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" refers to the legal process or the state of insolvency.
Sense 2: "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due" (synonym: failure, example: the company had to declare bankruptcy).
Sense 3: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent".

Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
"bankruptcy of five major credit unions"
In WordNet, "bankruptcy" has:
1. bankruptcy%1:26:01:: (spiritual bankruptcy)
2. bankruptcy%1:26:00:: (inability to discharge all your debts as they come due)
3. bankruptcy%1:04:00:: (a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent)

Wait, "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" - is it the legal process or the inability to discharge debts?
"settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions"
Usually, "bankruptcy" in the context of a company or credit union failing is sense 2 or 3.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "the company had to declare bankruptcy; fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks". This matches "bankruptcy of five major credit unions".
Wait, sense 3 is "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent".
Is "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" the legal process or the state of failure?
"the bankruptcy of five major credit unions" -> the failure of five major credit unions.
Let's consider "bankruptcy" as "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due".
Actually, "bankruptcy" in WordNet:
Sense 2: inability to discharge all your debts as they come due.
Sense 3: a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent.

"arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions"
Could it be sense 2? "the company had to declare bankruptcy"
Let's search for similar examples. "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" -> the failure of five major credit unions.
I will choose sense 2 because "bankruptcy" here is used as a synonym for "failure" (as in "the failure of many banks" in the example for sense 2).
Wait, "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" - is it the legal process? "arising from the bankruptcy" -> arising from the legal process? Or arising from the failure?
"arising from the failure of five major credit unions" makes more sense.
Let's check the synonyms for sense 2: failure.
"the failure of five major credit unions" fits perfectly.
Let's check sense 3: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent".
I'll go with 2.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis."
If it's the legal process, it would be "the bankruptcy proceedings of...". "Bankruptcy" here means the state of being bankrupt, i.e., failure.
I will choose 2.
Let's double check.
"bankruptcy of five major credit unions" -> failure of five major credit unions.
Yes, sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "issue" in the context: "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."
The context is about a dispute or problem that needs to be settled or is the focus of the situation.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=issue%1:09:01:: | definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | examples=the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone; politicians never discuss the real issues
3. sense_key=issue%1:09:00:: | definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter | examples=he kept drifting off the topic; he had been thinking about the subject for several years

Wait, "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."
Is it an important question in dispute? Yes, the NCUA accuses banks of having used false promises. The issue is the dispute or the central question/problem.
Let's check sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled".
Let's check sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about".
In this context, "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities." It refers to the central point of dispute or the problem.
Wait, "issue" as in "the issue centres on..." is often sense 1 (an important question that is in dispute and must be settled) or sense 3 (topic, subject, matter).
Let's look at the synonyms for 1: none listed, but examples: "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone; politicians never discuss the real issues".
Synonyms for 3: topic, subject, matter.
"The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities." This is the central point of the dispute.
Is it sense 1 or 3?
"issue" in "The issue centres on..."
Let's consider "issue" as a problem or dispute. "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."
Actually, "issue" meaning "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" fits perfectly with "disputes arising from the bankruptcy... The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 1: an important question that is in dispute and must be settled.
Sense 3: some situation or event that is thought about.
The text says: "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy... The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."
This strongly aligns with "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" (sense 1).
Let's double check.
"issue" = the matter in dispute.
Yes, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's review the definition of sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled".
Context: "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy... The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities."
This is exactly an important question in dispute.
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at sense 1 again. "issue%1:09:01::"
Is it possible it is sense 3? "some situation or event that is thought about" -> topic, subject, matter.
"The issue centres on..." -> The subject centres on...
But "dispute" is explicitly mentioned in the previous sentence: "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy". So "issue" refers to the dispute.
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm the index.
1. sense_key=issue%1:09:01::
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.

The target word is "sale" in the context: "The issue centres on the <t>sale</t> of mortgage securities."
The context talks about the selling of mortgage securities, which is a general activity or a particular instance of selling.

Wait, "the sale of mortgage securities" refers to the general activity of selling or a particular instance?
"laws limit the sale of handguns" -> "the sale of mortgage securities"
This matches sense 2: "the general activity of selling".
Let's check sense 1: "a particular instance of selling". "the sale of mortgage securities" could be a particular instance, but "the sale of [plural noun]" often refers to the general activity.
Wait, "the sale of mortgage securities" is the activity of selling them.
Let's re-read the context: "The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a financial market regulator, accuses a string of major banks of having used false promises to mislead credit unions into buying the financial products."
This is the general activity of selling mortgage securities.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "laws limit the sale of handguns". "the sale of mortgage securities" is structurally identical to "the sale of handguns".
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check sense 1: "a particular instance of selling". "his first sale", "complete the sale".
Sense 2: "the general activity of selling". "boost sales", "the sale of handguns".
Yes, "the sale of mortgage securities" is the general activity of selling them.
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's consider if it's sense 1. "the sale of mortgage securities" could be a specific event, but "sale of [plural]" usually denotes the activity.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "value" in the context: "The value of the securities dropped dramatically during the financial crisis and brought down the credit unions."
The context is about the financial worth or monetary amount of the securities.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed
2. quality that renders something desirable or valuable
3. the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else (economic value)
4. relative darkness or lightness of a color
5. relative duration of a musical note
6. an ideal accepted by some individual or group

Sense 3 fits perfectly: "the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else". The value of the securities refers to their economic value or monetary worth.

Let's double check.
"the value of the securities dropped dramatically" -> economic value.
Sense 3 is the best match.
Sense 1 is more about a specific numerical quantity assigned (like a variable value).
Sense 3 is specifically about money/goods/services equivalent, which fits "securities" and "financial crisis".

Therefore, sense_index is 3.

The target word is "issue" in the context: "We are happy to have resolved the <t>issue</t> without the parties going to court," said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York.
The context is about a dispute or problem (a multi-million pound fine, settling disputes arising from bankruptcy, sale of mortgage securities, false promises, misleading credit unions).
The sentence says "resolved the issue without the parties going to court".

3. sense_key=issue%1:09:00:: | definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter

The target word is "settlement" in the context: "The bank did not admit culpability in the <t>settlement</t>."
The context is about Deutsche Bank paying 145 million dollars to settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of credit unions.
The sentence says: "The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement."
This refers to a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it, or something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. colony
2. village, small town
3. a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it
4. colonization
5. something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making (resolution, closure) - examples: they finally reached a settlement with the union
6. an area where a group of families live together
7. liquidation

Wait, sense 3 is "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
Sense 5 is "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" with synonyms "resolution, closure" and examples "they finally reached a settlement with the union".
In the context, "settle disputes" -> "resolved the issue" -> "settlement".
Let's check the difference between 3 and 5.
Sense 3: a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it.
Sense 5: something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making.
Actually, the phrase "settlement" in legal contexts (paying to settle disputes) is often sense 3 or 5.
Let's look at WordNet:
settlement%1:10:00:: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it"
settlement%1:09:00:: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" (resolution, closure)
Wait, "settlement" in legal terms: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it" (sense 3).
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "the settlement of a lawsuit" (maybe? WordNet doesn't list examples for 3, but it's a common legal sense).
Wait, "settlement" as in "reached a settlement with the union" is sense 5.
Let's re-read the context: "The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement."
Is it sense 3 or 5?
Let's search for "settlement" in WordNet.
Sense 3: a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it.
Sense 5: something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making.
Actually, the legal settlement is often sense 3. Let's see: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
Wait, sense 3 is "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
Sense 5 is "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making".
Let's consider "settlement" in the context of "settle disputes".
"settle" -> "settlement".
In WordNet, "settlement" (1:10:00) is "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
Let's check if there is a more specific legal sense.
No, 3 is the best fit for a legal settlement (disposition of a matter).
Wait, "settlement" (1:09:00) has example "they finally reached a settlement with the union".
Is "settlement" in "did not admit culpability in the settlement" closer to 3 or 5?
"disposition of it" fits "settlement" as a legal agreement.
Let's choose 3.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for 3: none listed, but it's "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
Let's look at 5: "resolution, closure".
In legal contexts, "settlement" is a "conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
I will go with 3.
Let's double check.
"settlement" (1:10:00) -> a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it.
"settlement" (1:09:00) -> something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making.
I'll output 3.
Wait, let's think if 3 is better than 5.
"settlement" in "did not admit culpability in the settlement" refers to the legal agreement.
Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
Yes, 3 is the standard legal settlement sense in WordNet.
Let's confirm.
"settlement" 1:10:00 is "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".
I'll output 3.
