Target lemma: result
Target surface form: results
Context:
Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise. Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment. And Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region. Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the <t>results</t> of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood.

The target word is "results" in the context: "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October."
The context refers to the findings or outcomes of a poll.
Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=result%1:19:00:: | definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot
2. sense_key=result%1:10:00:: | definition=a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem | synonyms=solution, answer, resolution, solvent
3. sense_key=result%1:11:00:: | definition=something that results | synonyms=resultant, final result, outcome, termination | examples=he listened for the results on the radio
4. sense_key=result%1:10:01:: | definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause | synonyms=resultant role

Sense 3: "something that results" with example "he listened for the results on the radio". This fits "results of this year's poll" perfectly, as it refers to the data or findings that resulted from the poll.
Sense 1 is more about a consequence or effect of an action.
Sense 2 is about a solution to a problem.
Sense 4 is a semantic role.

Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "results of this year's poll" -> the findings, the outcome. Sense 3: "something that results", synonyms: resultant, final result, outcome, termination. Example: "he listened for the results on the radio". This matches the poll results.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon".
Sense 3 is "something that results".
In WordNet, "result" as in "the results of the election" or "the results of the poll" is typically sense 3 (result%1:11:00::).
Let's confirm: "he listened for the results on the radio" -> election results, poll results.
Yes, sense 3 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "stability" in the context: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
The context talks about attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions.
Sense 1: the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast (stableness)
Sense 2: a stable order (especially of society)
Sense 3: the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation (constancy)

Wait, "stability of attitudes" means the attitudes are enduring and free from change or variation, or firm and steadfast?
Let's check the context: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll... The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
If attitudes are stable, they are enduring and free from change or variation.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms: constancy.
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
Sense 1: the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast.
Sense 3: the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation.
"stability of attitudes" -> attitudes are not changing, they are enduring.
Let's consider "stability" in WordNet.
stability%1:07:00:: the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast
stability%1:07:01:: the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation
stability%1:26:00:: a stable order (especially of society)

"increasing stability of attitudes" -> attitudes are enduring and free from change or variation.
Wait, "stability of attitudes" could be "constancy".
Let's see: "constancy of attitudes" makes sense.
Or "firm and steadfast" attitudes.
Let's look at the example for sense 3: "early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds".
Is "stability of attitudes" more like "constancy" (enduring and free from change) or "firm and steadfast"?
"Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. ... The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
This implies that attitudes are not changing (free from change or variation).
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"stability of attitudes" -> attitudes are not changing.
Sense 3: the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation.
Yes, "free from change or variation" perfectly matches "tracks changes in attitude... increasing stability of attitudes".
I will choose sense 3.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
If it tracks changes, and now there is increasing stability, it means there is less change, i.e., free from change or variation.
So sense 3 is the most appropriate.
Let's consider sense 1: "the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast". This is more about a person's character or a physical object.
Sense 3 is about being enduring and free from change or variation, which fits "attitudes" in the context of tracking changes over time.
I will go with 3.

The target word is "institutions" in the context: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
The context talks about democracy and its core institutions.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. an organization founded and united for a specific purpose (establishment)
2. an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated
3. a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society (the institution of marriage)

Wait, "core institutions" of democracy refers to organizations or established systems (like the legislature, judiciary, etc.).
Sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose" - this fits "core institutions" of democracy (e.g., political parties, courts, electoral commissions).
Let's re-read the definition of sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose".
Is there a better sense?
Wait, what about "institution" as a social structure? WordNet has:
- institution%1:14:00:: (organization)
- institution%1:09:00:: (custom)
- institution%1:06:00:: (building)
- institution%1:04:00:: (act of starting)
- institution%1:06:01:: (mental hospital)

In the context of "democracy and its core institutions", it refers to organizations or established systems. Sense 1 is "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose".
Let's check if there's any other sense. No, the candidates are 1 to 5.
"core institutions" of democracy are organizations (like the parliament, the courts, the electoral system).
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"democracy and its core institutions" -> organizations.
Sense 1: an organization founded and united for a specific purpose.
Yes, sense 1.
Wait, let's consider sense 3: "a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society". Examples: the institution of marriage. But "core institutions" of democracy are usually organizations or systems, not just customs.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the candidates.
1. sense_key=institution%1:14:00:: | definition=an organization founded and united for a specific purpose | synonyms=establishment

The context talks about "support for democracy", which means public backing, approval, or favoring of democracy.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. support%1:04:04:: - providing money or necessities
2. support%1:04:00:: - aiding the cause or policy or interests of (e.g., "the president no longer has the support of his own party")
3. support%1:09:00:: - something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (e.g., "the policy found little public support")
Wait, "support for democracy" is an immaterial assistance or backing to a cause or interest.
Let's check sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" -> "the policy found little public support". This matches "Support for democracy has risen noticeably".
Let's check sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" -> "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
Wait, sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
Is "support for democracy" an immaterial assistance or the act of aiding?
"Support for democracy has risen" -> the level of public backing.
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" -> "the policy found little public support".
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" -> "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
Let's look at the exact wording in WordNet.
support%1:09:00:: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
support%1:04:00:: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
In the sentence: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
"Support" here is a noun. "The policy found little public support" (sense 3).
"Support for democracy" is a noun phrase.
Let's see: "support for democracy" -> "public support".
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
Wait, "support for democracy" is the backing or approval.
Let's check sense 3 vs sense 2.
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (noun: the act of aiding? No, "aiding the cause..." is a gerund phrase, but the definition is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of").
Actually, WordNet sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". Example: "the policy found little public support".
"Support for democracy" is exactly like "public support for a policy".
Let's check sense 3.
Is there another sense?
"support%1:09:00::" -> "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
"support%1:04:00::" -> "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
In "Support for democracy has risen", it refers to the amount of backing (immaterial assistance/approval).
Let's consider "support%1:09:00::".
Example: "the policy found little public support"
Context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably"
This perfectly matches "public support" for a cause (democracy).
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check sense 3.
"something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
Yes, "support for democracy" is immaterial assistance/backing to a cause.
I will choose 3.
Wait, let's look at sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party".
Is "support for democracy" sense 2 or 3?
"Support for democracy" is the backing itself, which is "something providing immaterial assistance".
"the policy found little public support" -> sense 3.
"Support for democracy has risen" -> the level of public support.
I'll go with 3.
Let's review the options.
1. financial/necessities
2. aiding the cause...
3. something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest
4. military
5. documentary validation
6. financial means
7. supporting structure
8. act of bearing weight
9. musical part
10. device that bears weight
11. financial resources

Between 2 and 3:
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
"Support for democracy" is a thing (the level of support), so "something providing immaterial assistance" fits "Support" as a noun meaning "backing".
"the policy found little public support" is the exact parallel to "Support for democracy has risen".
I will use 3.

Context:
Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist. Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several <t>countries</t> on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year.

The target word is "countries" in the context: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll taken in 18 countries and published exclusively by The Economist."
The context talks about a poll taken in 18 countries, tracking changes in attitude across the region, support for democracy in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America, e.g., Peru.
This refers to politically organized bodies of people under a single government, or the territory occupied by a nation.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. country%1:14:00:: | definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations
2. country%1:15:00:: | definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries

5. country%1:15:02:: | definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country

"taken in 18 countries" -> refers to the political entities (nations/states) where the poll was taken.
Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (state, nation, land).
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" (state, land). Example: "he visited several European countries".
Wait, "taken in 18 countries" could be either 1 or 2.
Let's check the examples. "he visited several European countries" is sense 2.
But "African nations" is sense 1.
Is "countries" here referring to the political entity or the territory?
"poll taken in 18 countries" -> the poll was conducted in the territory of 18 nations, or among the people of 18 nations.
Actually, sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation".
Let's consider "poll taken in 18 countries". A poll is taken among people, but "in 18 countries" usually refers to the political entities.
Wait, let's look at similar examples. "African nations" is sense 1.
"he visited several European countries" is sense 2.
"Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America"
This refers to the nations/states.
Let's look at WordNet's distinction.
Sense 1: country (nation, state) - politically organized body of people.
Sense 2: country (land, territory) - the territory occupied by a nation.
Often, "in 18 countries" is mapped to sense 1 (the nation as a political entity) or sense 2 (the territory).
Let's search for "poll taken in 18 countries".
Actually, "countries" as in "18 countries" is very commonly sense 1 (nation, state).
Let's re-read the examples for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president; African nations".
Examples for sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries".
"taken in 18 countries" -> "in" suggests location, which might lean towards sense 2 (territory). But "countries" as political units is sense 1.
Wait, "African nations" is sense 1. "several European countries" is sense 2.
Is there a difference? "visited several European countries" -> territory.
"poll taken in 18 countries" -> territory or political entity?
Let's consider "country" in the phrase "18 countries". It's a count noun referring to sovereign states.
Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government". Synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth.
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation". Synonyms: state, land.
If I say "18 countries", I mean 18 nations/states.
Let's choose sense 1, as it represents the political entity (nation/state), which is the primary meaning of "countries" in political polls (e.g., "18 countries" = 18 nations).
Wait, "he visited several European countries" is sense 2. Why? Because visiting is a spatial activity in the territory.
"poll taken in 18 countries" - taking a poll is an activity done within the territory, but it's about the political entity.
Let's look at another example: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America". This is about the political entities (nations).
I will go with sense 1.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: country%1:14:00::
Sense 2: country%1:15:00::
In many WSD datasets, "countries" referring to nations/states is sense 1.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, "taken in 18 countries" -> "in" + country.
If I say "in several countries", it could be sense 1.
Let's consider "African nations" -> sense 1.
"several countries on the Pacific rim" -> sense 1.
I'll output 1.
Let's review the prompt: "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
Let's think if 2 is better. "the territory occupied by a nation". "poll taken in 18 countries" -> the poll was taken in the territory of 18 nations. But "countries" here is synonymous with "nations". "18 nations". Sense 1 has "nation" as a synonym. Sense 2 has "land" as a synonym.
"18 nations" fits perfectly. So sense 1.
Yes, sense 1.

The target word is "support" in the context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."
The context is about public opinion, attitudes, and approval of democracy.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. support%1:04:04:: - providing money or necessities
2. support%1:04:00:: - aiding the cause or policy or interests of (e.g., "the president no longer has the support of his own party")
3. support%1:09:00:: - something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (e.g., "the policy found little public support")
4. support%1:04:03:: - military operation

9. support%1:10:01:: - musical part
10. support%1:06:00:: - device that bears weight
11. support%1:21:01:: - financial resources

Wait, "support for democracy" is about public approval or backing of a cause or policy.
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"

Let's read the definitions carefully.
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"

In the context, "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
"the policy found little public support" (Sense 3)
"the president no longer has the support of his own party" (Sense 2)

Wait, "support for democracy" is an attitude or approval.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support"
Sense 3: "the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed"

"Support for democracy" is very similar to "public support" for a policy.
Let's look at the POS. Both are nouns.
Sense 2: support%1:04:00:: (noun)
Sense 3: support%1:09:00:: (noun)

Wait, "support for democracy" is an attitude. "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
"something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (Sense 3)
"aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (Sense 2)

Let's look at WordNet.
support (noun)
1. support, financial support, funding, backing, financial backing (the financial means whereby one lives)
2. support, documentation (documentary validation)
3. support, supporting (the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening)
4. support, reinforcement, reenforcement (a military operation...)
5. support (aiding the cause or policy or interests of) -> "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
6. support (something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest) -> "the policy found little public support"

Wait, "support for democracy" is an attitude of approval.
Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
"the policy found little public support" -> "support for democracy"
Let's search for "support for democracy" in WordNet or similar.
Actually, sense 2 is "aiding the cause or policy or interests of".
Sense 3 is "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
"Support for democracy" is an attitude, which is immaterial assistance or approval.
Wait, "the policy found little public support" is exactly "support for [policy/cause]".
Let's consider "support for democracy". Democracy is a cause or interest.
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 look at the synonyms.
Sense 2: no synonyms listed in the prompt, but maybe "backing"?
Sense 3: no synonyms listed.

Let's re-read the context: "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
This is about public opinion, an attitude.
"the policy found little public support" (Sense 3) matches "public support" or "attitudes towards democracy".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"

In WordNet, "support" as in "public support" is often sense 3 (support%1:09:00::).
Let's check the hypernyms.
Sense 2: aid, assistance, help
Sense 3: aid, assistance, help

Wait, "support for democracy" is an attitude. "Attitudes towards democracy... Support for democracy has risen".
"the policy found little public support" -> "support for democracy".
I will go with Sense 3.

Let's double check Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
Sense 3: "the policy found little public support"
"Support for democracy" is more like "public support" for a policy/cause.
Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's review the prompt's examples for Sense 3: "the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed"
Context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
This perfectly aligns with "the policy found little public support".

Let's review Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support"
This is more about active backing or alliance.
"Support for democracy" in a poll is an attitude, an immaterial assistance/approval.
So Sense 3 is better.
I will choose 3.

Target lemma: low
Target surface form: low
Context:
Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a <t>low</t> of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=low%1:26:00:: | definition=an air mass of lower pressure; often brings precipitation | synonyms=depression | examples=a low moved in over night bringing sleet and snow

reasoning_content:
The target word is "low" in the context: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year."
The word "low" here refers to a low level or position or degree (of support).
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. low%1:26:00:: (air mass of lower pressure)
2. low%1:18:00:: (British political cartoonist)
3. low%1:07:00:: (a low level or position or degree)
4. low%1:06:00:: (lowest forward gear ratio)

Sense 3 matches perfectly: "a low level or position or degree", example: "the stock market fell to a new low".
In the context, "a low of 40%" means a low level of support.
Therefore, the best indexed sense is 3.
I will return {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "output" in the context: "It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year."
The context is about the economy, specifically economic growth and a drop in "output".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. final product; the things produced (end product)
2. production of a certain amount (yield)
3. signal that comes out of an electronic system (output signal)
4. the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time) (yield, production) - example: production was up in the second quarter
5. what is produced in a given time period (outturn, turnout)

Sense 4 fits best: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)". In economics, "output" refers to the quantity of goods and services produced. The example "production was up in the second quarter" perfectly matches the economic context of "a big drop in output last year".

Let's double check sense 4 vs sense 2.
Sense 2: production of a certain amount.
Sense 4: the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time). Synonyms: yield, production. Example: production was up in the second quarter.
The context says "a big drop in output last year", which refers to the quantity of goods/services produced in a given time period (last year). Sense 4 is the most precise match for economic output.

Let's review the options.
1. final product
2. production of a certain amount
3. signal
4. the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)
5. what is produced in a given time period

Sense 4 is the standard economic sense of output (GDP, etc.).
I will choose 4.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "countries" in the context: "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats..."
The context refers to Mexico and Brazil, which are politically organized bodies of people under a single government, or nations/states.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic)
2. the territory occupied by a nation (state, land)
3. the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land)
4. an area outside of cities and towns (rural area)
5. a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area)

"populous countries" refers to the nations/states themselves, which are politically organized bodies of people. Wait, "populous" means having a large population, but the word "countries" here refers to the political entities (Mexico and Brazil).
Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - synonyms: state, nation, land.
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - synonyms: state, land.
Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - synonyms: nation, land.

Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries"
Usually, "country" in this sense (a nation, a state) is sense 1.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "African nations".
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "he visited several European countries".
Wait, sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation".
In "populous countries", it refers to the nations themselves.
Let's consider "populous countries". A country is a nation.
Sense 1 is the most standard sense for "country" as a nation/state.
Let's re-read the context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America... Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries..."
This clearly refers to the political entities (nations/states).
Sense 1: country%1:14:00:: | definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic
Sense 2: country%1:15:00:: | definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land

I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms. "state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic".
Yes, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check if there's any ambiguity. "populous countries" -> countries with large populations. The country is the political entity.
I'll go with 1.

Target lemma: democrat
Target surface form: democrats
Context:
The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. 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). 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).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=democrat%1:18:01:: | definition=a member of the Democratic Party
2. sense_key=democrat%1:18:00:: | definition=an advocate of democratic principles | synonyms=populist

reasoning_content:
The target word is "democrats" in the context of Latin America, support for democracy, and respondents who are convinced democrats.
The context talks about "support for democracy", "core institutions", "satisfied with how their country's democracy works".
The word "democrats" here refers to people who advocate for or support democratic principles, not members of the US Democratic Party.
Sense 1: a member of the Democratic Party.
Sense 2: an advocate of democratic principles.
Therefore, sense 2 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 2}.
