Target lemma: power
Target surface form: power
Context:
U.S. firms were in some cases at a disadvantage because rivals, particularly the Chinese and other government controlled energy firms, have markedly lower labor costs and are more prone to take risks because they don't respond to shareholders. Exxon-Mobil and Occidental Petroleum Inc. were the only American companies that reached deals with the ministry. Major U.S. firms such as Chevron and ConocoPhillips, which have cultivated close ties with the Iraqi Oil Ministry and have provided technical advice in recent years, walked away empty-handed. Russian companies Lukoil and Gazprom were the top stakeholders in two of the contracts awarded this weekend. State-owned China National Petroleum Corporation bid on more contracts than any other company and walked away with large stakes in contracts for two major fields. We all know that China is on track to become a major economic as well as technological <t>power</t>, Oil Ministry spokesman Assam Jihad said. We feel confident that the Chinese company will be on par with its competitors and will deliver on its commitments towards Iraq.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "commitments" in the context: "We feel confident that the Chinese company will be on par with its competitors and will deliver on its commitments towards Iraq."
The context is about companies bidding on contracts, making offers, and being expected to deliver on their obligations or agreements (contracts involving financial or operational obligations).
Sense 3: "an engagement by contract involving financial obligation" (examples: his business commitments took him to London).
This perfectly matches "deliver on its commitments towards Iraq" in the context of business contracts and oil fields.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose.
Sense 2: act of binding yourself to a course of action (allegiance, loyalty).
Sense 3: an engagement by contract involving financial obligation.
Sense 4: a message that makes a pledge.
Sense 5: official act of consigning a person to confinement.

The context is about companies, contracts, bids, and delivering on obligations. "deliver on its commitments" refers to fulfilling contractual or business obligations.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Context mentions: "contracts awarded", "bid on more contracts", "walked away with large stakes in contracts", "submit bids made offers".
So "commitments" here means engagements by contract involving financial/business obligation.
Sense index: 3.

Target lemma: output
Target surface form: output
Context:
Major U.S. firms such as Chevron and ConocoPhillips, which have cultivated close ties with the Iraqi Oil Ministry and have provided technical advice in recent years, walked away empty-handed. Russian companies Lukoil and Gazprom were the top stakeholders in two of the contracts awarded this weekend. State-owned China National Petroleum Corporation bid on more contracts than any other company and walked away with large stakes in contracts for two major fields. We all know that China is on track to become a major economic as well as technological power, Oil Ministry spokesman Assam Jihad said. We feel confident that the Chinese company will be on par with its competitors and will deliver on its commitments towards Iraq. Companies pre-selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting <t>output</t> above current levels at each field.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content:
The target word is "output" in the context of oil fields and boosting "output" above current levels.
Context: "Companies pre-selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting output above current levels at each field."
This refers to the quantity of oil produced.
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 perfectly: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)". Oil is a commodity, and boosting output means increasing the quantity of oil created/produced.

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).
"boosting output above current levels at each field" -> quantity of a commodity (oil).
Sense 4 is the best fit.
Let's review the exact wording of sense 4: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)".
Yes, "output" in the context of oil fields refers to the quantity of oil produced.

Sense 4 is the most appropriate.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "levels" in the context: "Companies pre-selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting output above current levels at each field."
The context refers to "current levels" of output.
Output is a quantity or amount.
Sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" (synonyms: degree, grade). Examples: "a high level of care is required". This fits "current levels" of output (amount).
Sense 2: "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" (synonyms: grade, tier).
Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" (synonyms: degree, stage, point).
Sense 4: "height above ground".
Sense 5: "indicator that establishes the horizontal..."
Sense 6: "a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line".
Sense 7: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth" (layer, stratum).
Sense 8: "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms..."

"current levels" of output refers to the amount or quantity of output.
Sense 1 definition: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality". This perfectly matches "levels" of output (amount).

Let's double check.
"boosting output above current levels" -> amount of output.
Sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality"
Yes, sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: Sense 3 "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process". But "amount" is explicitly in Sense 1.
"level of output" is a classic example of "level" meaning amount/quantity.
Therefore, sense 1.
End of reasoning.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "state" in the context: "US banks repay <t>state</t> support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles."
The context talks about "state support" and "state shackles" referring to the government of the US (or the state as a political entity providing support).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. territory occupied by a constituent administrative district (province)
2. way something is with respect to its main attributes
3. the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state (examples: the state has lowered its income tax)
4. a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country)
5. state of matter
6. state of depression or agitation
7. territory occupied by a nation
8. federal department in the US (Department of State)

"state support" means support from the government.
Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" - examples: "the state has lowered its income tax". This fits "state support" (support from the government).
Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (nation, country).
Sense 3 is more specific to the government acting as an entity providing support or imposing shackles. "state support" = government support.
Let's check sense 3 vs sense 4.
"state support" -> support from the government.
"state shackles" -> government shackles.
Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state"
Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
In WordNet, "state" as government is sense 3 (state%1:14:01::).
Let's verify: "the state has lowered its income tax" -> government.
"state support" -> government support.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"state support" = government support.
Sense 3: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state.
Yes, sense 3.
Wait, let's review sense 3 and 4.
Sense 3: state%1:14:01:: definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state
Sense 4: state%1:14:00:: definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government
"state support" refers to the government's support. So sense 3 is correct.
I will output {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "support" in the context: "US banks repay state <t>support</t> The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles."
The context talks about US banks repaying state support, which refers to financial resources provided to make some project possible or to sustain them during a crisis.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. support%1:04:04:: - activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities.
2. support%1:04:00:: - aiding the cause or policy or interests of.
3. support%1:09:00:: - something providing immaterial assistance.
4. support%1:04:03:: - military operation.
5. support%1:04:02:: - documentary validation.
6. support%1:21:00:: - the financial means whereby one lives.

9. support%1:10:01:: - musical part.
10. support%1:06:00:: - any device that bears the weight.
11. support%1:21:01:: - financial resources provided to make some project possible. Synonyms: financial support, funding, backing, financial backing. Examples: the foundation provided support for the experiment.

In the context, "state support" refers to the financial resources (bailout funds) provided by the state to the banks.
Sense 11 fits perfectly: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" (or in this case, to keep the banks afloat).
Wait, sense 11 is "financial resources provided to make some project possible".
Let's check sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities".
Is it sense 11 or sense 1?
"US banks repay state support" -> "state support" is a noun phrase meaning the financial resources (funding, backing) provided by the state.
Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" (synonyms: financial support, funding, backing, financial backing).
Sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities".
"repay state support" -> they are repaying the financial resources (the money), not the activity.
Therefore, sense 11 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"the foundation provided support for the experiment" -> "US banks repay state support".
Yes, sense 11.
Let's review the options.
11. sense_key=support%1:21:01:: | definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | synonyms=financial support, funding, backing, financial backing | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

I will choose 11.
Wait, let's consider sense 11 vs sense 1.
"repay state support" -> "support" here is the money/funding itself.
Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible"
Sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities"
"repay" takes a direct object that is the money/resources, not the activity. You repay the funding/backing.
So sense 11 is correct.
Let's confirm the index. 11.

The target word is "state" in the context: "US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their <t>state</t> shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go."
The context refers to "state support" and "state shackles", meaning the government of the sovereign state (the US government).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. state%1:15:01:: territory occupied by a constituent administrative district (e.g., US state).
2. state%1:03:00:: way something is with respect to its main attributes.
3. state%1:14:01:: the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state. Examples: the state has lowered its income tax.
4. state%1:14:00:: a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country).
5. state%1:26:02:: chemistry state of matter.
6. state%1:26:01:: state of depression or agitation.
7. state%1:15:00:: territory occupied by a nation.
8. state%1:14:02:: Department of State.

In the context, "state support" refers to support from the government. "state shackles" refers to the government's control.
Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" fits perfectly. "the state has lowered its income tax" is similar to "state support" (support from the government).
Let's double check sense 3 vs sense 4. Sense 4 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (nation, country). Sense 3 is "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state". "State support" means support from the government, so sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's read the context again: "US banks repay state support... breaking free from their state shackles."
"State" here acts as an adjective modifying "support" and "shackles", meaning "of the government".
Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state".
Yes, this is the correct sense.

Sense 2: a U-shaped bar; the open end can be passed through chain links and closed with a bar.

The context uses "shackles" metaphorically to mean restraints or restrictions on freedom (state support conditions).

On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support."

The context talks about banks repaying state support, specifically mentioning "USD 45 billion" and "bank protection fund TARP". This is clearly financial resources provided to make some project or entity possible, or financial means.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. support%1:04:04:: the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities
2. support%1:04:00:: aiding the cause or policy or interests of
3. support%1:09:00:: something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest

Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" with synonyms "financial support, funding, backing, financial backing". The context mentions "repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion". This perfectly matches "financial resources provided to make some project possible" or "financial support, funding, backing".

Let's check sense 11 again.
"financial resources provided to make some project possible"
Synonyms: financial support, funding, backing, financial backing.
Examples: the foundation provided support for the experiment.

In the context, "repay the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion". This is financial support / funding.

Therefore, sense 11 is the best fit.
Let's double check sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities". This is more about the activity of providing, whereas the context says "repaid the support", meaning the support is the financial resources themselves (funding). Sense 11 is "financial resources provided to make some project possible", which fits "repay the support" (repay the financial resources/funding).

Yes, sense 11 is the most accurate.
Context: "repay the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion" -> financial resources.
Sense 11: financial resources provided to make some project possible.
Matches perfectly.
Sense index: 11.

The target word is "protection" in the context: "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion..."
TARP stands for Troubled Asset Relief Program, which is a program of the US government to purchase toxic assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen the financial sector.
The phrase is "bank protection fund".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. the activity of protecting someone or something
2. a covering that is intend to protect from damage or injury
3. defense against financial failure; financial independence (synonyms: security)
4. the condition of being protected
5. kindly endorsement and guidance
6. the imposition of duties or quotas on imports in order to protect domestic industry against foreign competition
7. payment extorted by gangsters on threat of violence

Wait, "bank protection fund" - is it defense against financial failure?
Let's re-read the context: "repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP".
TARP is a financial support mechanism.
Sense 3: "defense against financial failure; financial independence" - synonyms: security. Examples: "his pension gave him security in his old age; insurance provided protection against loss of wages due to illness".
Is there a better sense?
Wait, what about sense 1? "the activity of protecting someone or something".
Let's consider "bank protection fund". It's a fund that protects banks against financial failure.
Sense 3 fits "defense against financial failure".
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
"protection" in "bank protection fund" -> defense against financial failure.
Let's review the options.
1. activity of protecting
3. defense against financial failure; financial independence
TARP is literally a financial protection / security measure.
"insurance provided protection against loss of wages due to illness" -> "bank protection fund" provides protection against financial failure.
Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check.
"bank protection fund" -> a fund that provides defense against financial failure.
Yes, sense 3.
Wait, let's look at the exact phrase: "bank protection fund".
Could it be 1? "the activity of protecting someone or something".
But 3 specifically mentions "defense against financial failure", which perfectly matches "bank" and "TARP" (financial support).
I will go with 3.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "broadcaster".
Context: "according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC"
CNBC is a television network.
Sense 1: someone who broadcasts on radio or television. (Wait, CNBC is an organization, but "broadcaster" can refer to an organization or a person. Let's check the definition: "someone who broadcasts on radio or television". Actually, WordNet might have "broadcaster" as an organization or person. Let's look at the options.)
Option 1: sense_key=broadcaster%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who broadcasts on radio or television
Option 2: sense_key=broadcaster%1:06:00:: | definition=a mechanical device for scattering something (seed or fertilizer or sand etc.) in all directions | synonyms=spreader

Clearly, it's sense 1.
Wait, "someone who broadcasts on radio or television" is the definition for sense 1. Even if CNBC is an organization, it's the closest sense.
Let's double check.
"US broadcaster CNBC" -> broadcaster refers to a broadcasting company or person. Sense 1 is the only one related to radio/television.
So sense_index is 1.
End of thought.
