In the sentence, "budgets" refers to the total sum of money allocated for the social systems or the total financial resources of European countries.
Wait, "total budgets of European countries" refers to the sum of money allocated or the total financial plan.
Let's look at the definitions.
Sense 1: a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose.
Sense 2: a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them.

"total budgets of European countries" - this refers to the sum of money (the total amount of money) of the countries.
Wait, "budget" as a sum of money allocated. "1% of the total budgets" means 1% of the total sum of money allocated.
Let's check WordNet or similar dictionary.

budget (noun)
1. a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose ("the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year")

Sentence: "The World <t>Labor</t> Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less expenditure) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

The phrase is "World Labor Organisation".
This refers to the International Labour Organization (ILO), which is a specialized agency of the United Nations that deals with labour issues, particularly international labour standards, social protection, and work opportunities for all.
Wait, let's look at the senses:
1. a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages
2. productive work (especially physical work done for wages)
3. concluding state of pregnancy
4. an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement
5. a political party formed in Great Britain in 1900
6. the federal department responsible for promoting the working conditions of wage earners in the United States; created in 1913
7. any piece of work that is undertaken or attempted

Wait, "World Labor Organisation" - does it refer to sense 1, 2, or 4?
Let's check WordNet for "labor".
Sense 1: a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages.
Sense 2: productive work (especially physical work done for wages).
Sense 4: an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement.

Wait, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is about "labor" as in workers, the working class, or labor unions.
Let's see: "World Labor Organisation" -> "Labor" here refers to the workers or the labor movement.
Actually, in WordNet, "labor" in "Department of Labor" or "Labor Organization" might be sense 1 or 4.
Let's search for "World Labor Organisation" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Wait, "labor" in "World Labor Organisation" is likely sense 1: "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages". Or maybe sense 4: "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement".
Let's consider "Labor" in "World Labor Organisation". The ILO represents workers, employers, and governments.
Is there a specific WordNet sense for "Labor" in "World Labor Organisation"?
Let's look at the options.
1. a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages
2. productive work (especially physical work done for wages)
4. an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement

In WordNet, "labor" has:
1. a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages
2. productive work (especially physical work done for wages)
3. concluding state of pregnancy
4. an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement
5. a political party formed in Great Britain in 1900
6. the federal department responsible for promoting the working conditions of wage earners in the United States; created in 1913
7. any piece of work that is undertaken or attempted

Wait, "World Labor Organisation" -> "Labor" here is the social class or the movement?
Actually, the ILO is the International Labour Organization. "Labour" refers to the workers.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field".
Sense 4: "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement".
Could it be sense 1? "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages".
Let's search my internal knowledge for "World Labor Organisation" in WordNet.
Wait, "World Labor Organisation" is not a standard WordNet example, but "labor" in this context refers to the workers or the labor movement.
Let's consider "Department of Labor" -> sense 6 is specifically "the federal department responsible for promoting the working conditions of wage earners in the United States; created in 1913". But this is "World Labor Organisation", not the US federal department.
So it's not 6.
Is it 1 or 4?
"World Labor Organisation" -> "Labor" as in the workers.
Let's look at similar examples. "Labor union" -> labor is sense 1 or 4?
In WordNet, "labor" sense 1: "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages".
Sense 4: "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement".
The "World Labor Organisation" is an organization of workers, employers, and governments. It represents "labor" (the workers).
I will guess sense 1, as it refers to the class of workers. Or maybe sense 4, as it's an organized movement.
Wait, let's think if "Labor" in "World Labor Organisation" is sense 1.
"there is a shortage of skilled labor in this field" -> sense 1.
"World Labor Organisation" -> "Labor" refers to the workers.
Let's check if there is a more fitting sense.
What about sense 1? "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages".
What about sense 4? "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status by united action (particularly via labor unions) or the leaders of this movement".
The ILO is an international organization, not just an organized attempt by workers. It includes governments and employers. So "Labor" here means the workers (sense 1).
Let's consider "Labor" in "Department of Labor". Sense 6 is specifically the US federal department.
So "World Labor Organisation" would use sense 1, because it's the organization for "labor" (the workers).
Let's double check.
"World Labor Organisation" -> "Labor" = workers.
Sense 1: a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages.
I'll go with 1.
Wait, could it be 4? "an organized attempt by workers to improve their status..." No, the organization itself is not the attempt, it's the organization *for* labor.
So "Labor" = the workers. Sense 1.
Let's review the definition of sense 1: "a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages".
Yes, "labor" in "World Labor Organisation" refers to the workers.
I will output 1.
Let me reconsider. Is "World Labor Organisation" a named entity where "Labor" means the workers? Yes.
I am confident it is 1.
Another possibility: "productive work" (sense 2). But "World Productive Work Organisation" doesn't make as much sense as "World Workers Organisation". The ILO is literally the International Labour Organization, where Labour means the workers.
So 1.

Let's consider "a group of people who work together" (Sense 2).
Is "World Labor Organisation" a group of people who work together? Yes.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 2: "a group of people who work together" -> "organization"
Sense 1: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something" -> "administration" or "organization" (e.g., "the organization of the university").
In WordNet, "organization" sense 2 is "a group of people who work together". Example: "the organization was founded in 1920".
"The World Labor Organisation" is an organization. So sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
WordNet 3.1:
organization, organisation (noun)
1. an organized structure for arranging or classifying

Wait, let's think if it could be 1. "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something". The World Labor Organisation is a body for the purpose of administering something? No, it's a group of people who work together (an organization).
I'll go with 2.
Let's check if there is any other possibility. "The World Labor Organisation" is a proper noun referring to an organization. Sense 2 is "a group of people who work together". This perfectly matches "organization" as an entity.

Sentence: "The World Labor Organisation estimates that for example in Germany, an immigrant arriving at the age of 30, will make a net contribution (receipts less <t>expenditure</t>) of an average of 150,000 Euros to public budgets during his lifetime."

Senses:
1. definition=money paid out; an amount spent
2. definition=the act of spending money for goods or services
3. definition=the act of consuming something

In the sentence, "expenditure" is contrasted with "receipts" (money received). "receipts less expenditure" means money received minus money paid out.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: money paid out; an amount spent. (Fits perfectly with "receipts less expenditure" as a financial calculation).
Sense 2: the act of spending money for goods or services. (This is the action, but here it's used as a quantity to be subtracted from receipts).
Sense 3: the act of consuming something. (Not applicable).

"make a net contribution ... to public budgets" -> contributing money to the public budgets. This aligns with "a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose" (the pool of money).
Wait, "public budgets" as in the financial resources of the state.
Let's check WordNet or similar dictionary.
WordNet:
budget (n)
1. a sum of money allocated for a particular purpose ("the laboratory runs on a budget of a million a year")
2. a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them ("the president submitted the annual budget to Congress")

In the sentence, "contribution ... to public budgets" means contributing to the sum of money.
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check. "make a net contribution to public budgets" -> adding to the sum of money.
Sense 1 fits best.

2. definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
3. definition=a source of difficulty | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job

In the sentence, "problems at home" refers to difficulties or troubles that Deutsche Bank is facing.
Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" fits perfectly.
Sense 2: "a question raised for consideration or solution" (like a math problem) does not fit.
Sense 3: "a source of difficulty" (like "one trouble after another") is close, but "problems at home" refers to the state of difficulty itself, not necessarily the source. Wait, let's look at the example for sense 1: "she and her husband are having problems". This is very similar to "the problems at home".

In this context, "home" refers to the country or state or city where Deutsche Bank is based, which is Frankfurt, Germany. The sentence contrasts "at home" with "in the USA".

4. baseball base
5. place where you are stationed

Let's double check.
"Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home" -> "at home" means in their own country.
Here, "problems at home" means problems in their home country (Germany/Frankfurt), as opposed to the USA.
So sense 3 is the correct one.

Let's search for similar examples. "the bankruptcy of five major credit unions"
Actually, "bankruptcy" in this context refers to the legal process or the state of being bankrupt.
Let's look at the exact WordNet definitions.
Sense 2: inability to discharge all your debts as they come due.

Wait, "disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions" - the disputes are likely about the legal process, the handling of the bankruptcy, or the insolvency itself.
Let's check if there is a distinction. "the bankruptcy of five major credit unions" -> the event of them going bankrupt.

"disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions"
Disputes arising from the *legal process* of bankruptcy (e.g., how assets were distributed, or actions taken during the bankruptcy proceedings).
Therefore, sense 3 is highly likely.

Actually, in many NLP datasets (like Word Sense Disambiguation), "bankruptcy of [company]" is often mapped to the legal process (sense 3) or the state (sense 2).
Let's look at the definition of sense 3: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent".

Let's choose 3.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis."
Could it be 2? "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due"
If I say "the bankruptcy of the company", it can be either. But "disputes arising from the bankruptcy" strongly implies the legal proceedings (sense 3), because disputes arise from the actions taken during the legal process (e.g., preferential transfers, fraudulent conveyances, etc.).
I will go with 3.

Let's check WordNet:

Let's double check.
"sale"

"the sale of mortgage securities" -> the general activity of selling mortgage securities.
Let's think if it could be 2.
Yes, "sale" in "the sale of X" where X is a type of good usually refers to the general activity of selling.
Let's choose 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "a particular instance of selling" - "the sale of the house" might be 1. But "mortgage securities" is plural, implying the general activity.
So 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the definition of sense 2: "the general activity of selling".
Examples: "they tried to boost sales".
Another example: "the sale of alcohol is prohibited".
Therefore, "the sale of mortgage securities" fits sense 2.
