Context:
Deutsche Bank pays multi-million pound fine in the USA Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar around Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank: Deutsche Bank faces a multi-million pound fine in the USA. As if the <t>problems</t> 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. The issue centres on the sale of mortgage securities.

*   Target lemma: `problem`
    *   Target surface form: `problems`
    *   Context: "As if the <t>problems</t> at home were not already enough for Deutsche Bank..."
    *   Surrounding context: "Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar around Josef Ackermann...", "Deutsche Bank faces a multi-million pound fine in the USA."

    *   Sense 1: `problem%1:26:00::` - a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved. Synonyms: job. Example: "she and her husband are having problems".
    *   Sense 2: `problem%1:10:00::` - a question raised for consideration or solution. Example: "our homework consisted of ten problems to solve".
    *   Sense 3: `problem%1:09:00::` - a source of difficulty. Synonyms: trouble. Example: "one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?".

    *   The context mentions "Fresh trouble" and "uproar around Josef Ackermann".
    *   The "problems at home" refer to the internal difficulties or troubles the bank is facing in Germany (as opposed to the USA).
    *   Sense 2 (homework/math problem) is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 1 (state of difficulty) and Sense 3 (source of difficulty/trouble) are very close.
    *   Looking at the synonyms: Sense 3 has "trouble". The text explicitly uses "Fresh trouble" in the preceding sentence.
    *   "Problems at home" in this corporate context usually refers to the specific issues/troubles (sources of difficulty) they are dealing with.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 ("state of difficulty") vs Sense 3 ("source of difficulty"). "Problems at home" usually refers to the specific issues (troubles) rather than a general state of being in difficulty.

    *   Sense 1: "she and her husband are having problems" (relational/state of difficulty).
    *   Sense 3: "one trouble after another delayed the job" (specific sources of difficulty).
    *   The text says "Fresh trouble is following... As if the problems at home were not already enough". This parallel structure strongly links "problems" with "trouble".

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit because of the synonym "trouble" and the parallel usage in the text.

    *   Context: "As if the problems at <t>home</t> were not already enough for Deutsche Bank..."
    *   Surrounding context: Deutsche Bank is a Frankfurt-based bank facing fines in the USA. The sentence contrasts problems in the USA with problems "at home".

    *   Sense 1: where you live at a particular time (personal residence).
    *   Sense 2: housing that someone is living in (physical building).
    *   Sense 3: the country or state or city where you live (national/regional context). Example: "Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home".

    *   Sense 5: military/mission base.
    *   Sense 6: place where something began and flourished (origin).
    *   Sense 7: environment of affection and security.
    *   Sense 8: social unit living together (family).
    *   Sense 9: institution for care (nursing home).

    *   The context contrasts the USA (where the fine is happening) with "home".
    *   Deutsche Bank is "Frankfurt-based".
    *   Therefore, "at home" refers to Germany (the country where the bank is based).
    *   Sense 3 ("the country or state or city where you live") fits perfectly, as it describes the domestic location of the entity being discussed.

    *   Sense 3: "the country or state or city where you live" (Example: "raise prices at home"). This matches the usage of "at home" to mean "domestically" or "in one's own country".

    *   The sentence refers to "the industry giant" in the context of Deutsche Bank.

    *   "Industry giant" here means a very large company within a specific sector (the banking/financial industry).

    *   Sense 1: "the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise". This fits perfectly. The banking industry is a particular kind of commercial enterprise.
    *   Sense 2: "the organized action of making of goods and services for sale" (manufacture). Banking is a service, but "industry" in the sense of "manufacturing" doesn't fit "industry giant" as well as the sector-based meaning.
    *   Sense 3: "persevering determination" (diligence). This is a personality trait and does not fit the context of a bank being a "giant".

    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   The sentence says Deutsche Bank is paying money to "settle disputes".
    *   "Settle disputes" typically refers to resolving disagreements, legal arguments, or conflicts over money or rights.
    *   The disputes arose from the bankruptcy of credit unions and the sale of mortgage securities.

    *   Sense 1: "a disagreement or argument about something important". This fits perfectly. Legal disputes are disagreements over liability, money, etc.
    *   Sense 2: "coming into conflict with" (synonym: contravention). This is usually used in the sense of "in dispute with" or "disputing a rule" (though "contravention" suggests breaking a law). However, the surface form "disputes" here is a plural noun ("settle disputes"). Sense 2 looks like it might be an adjective or a gerund/participle usage (though the sense key is for the noun/verb). Wait, looking at the definition "coming into conflict with", it sounds like a state or an action. "Settle disputes" requires a noun meaning "disagreements".

    *   Sense 1 is a noun: "a disagreement or argument".
    *   Sense 2 is defined as "coming into conflict with" (synonym: contravention). "Contravention" is a noun, but "coming into conflict with" describes the act.
    *   In the phrase "settle disputes", "disputes" is clearly the plural of the noun meaning "disagreements".

    *   Sense 1: Disagreement/argument. (Fits "settle disputes").
    *   Sense 2: Contravention. (Does not fit "settle disputes" as well as Sense 1).

    *   The context is a legal/financial settlement. "Settle disputes" is a standard collocation for resolving legal disagreements.

    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   Sense 1: `bankruptcy%1:26:01::` - a state of complete lack of some abstract property (e.g., spiritual bankruptcy).
    *   Sense 2: `bankruptcy%1:26:00::` - inability to discharge all your debts as they come due (synonym: failure).
    *   Sense 3: `bankruptcy%1:04:00::` - a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent.

    *   The context mentions "five major credit unions" and "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy".
    *   Credit unions are financial institutions.
    *   The "bankruptcy" here refers to the financial failure/insolvency of these institutions.
    *   Is it the *state* of being unable to pay debts (Sense 2) or the *legal process* (Sense 3)?
    *   "Disputes arising from the bankruptcy" often refers to the legal proceedings and the distribution of assets during the insolvency process.
    *   However, in common usage, "the bankruptcy of [company]" often refers to the event of failing financially.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 2 example: "the company had to declare bankruptcy; fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks".
        *   Sense 3 definition: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors...".
    *   The phrase "disputes arising from the bankruptcy" strongly suggests the legal proceedings/process (Sense 3), as disputes typically arise during the distribution of assets and the legal resolution of debts.
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate. "The bankruptcy of five major credit unions" could simply mean they went bankrupt (Sense 2).
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 2: The state of being insolvent.
        *   Sense 3: The legal process of dealing with insolvency.
    *   In the context of "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy", the disputes are usually about the legal process, the claims, and the distribution of assets.
    *   However, in many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "bankruptcy" in the context of a company failing is often mapped to the state of insolvency unless the legal proceedings are explicitly the focus.
    *   Let's look at the examples again. Sense 2: "fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks". This matches the "financial crisis" context perfectly.
    *   Sense 3 is very specific about the "legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors".
    *   "Disputes arising from the bankruptcy" -> The disputes arise because the entities went bankrupt.
    *   Usually, "the bankruptcy of [X]" refers to the event/state of X going bankrupt.
    *   Let's check if "bankruptcy" here refers to the *process* or the *state*.
    *   If I say "the bankruptcy of the company caused losses", it's the state/event.
    *   If I say "the bankruptcy court decided...", it's the process.
    *   "Disputes arising from the bankruptcy" could be either, but usually, the "bankruptcy" is the event of failing.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors".
    *   In the context of "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions", the disputes are likely about the mortgage securities sold *before* the bankruptcy, and the bankruptcy is the event that triggered the losses and subsequent legal claims.
    *   Actually, looking at the phrasing "disputes arising from the bankruptcy", it's very common for this to refer to the legal proceedings (Sense 3). But "the bankruptcy of [company]" is the standard way to refer to the failure (Sense 2).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "failure". "Disputes arising from the failure of five major credit unions". This makes perfect sense.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "a legal process...". "Disputes arising from the legal process...". This also makes sense.
    *   However, in the context of the financial crisis and "the bankruptcy of five major credit unions", it's more likely referring to the general event of their insolvency/failure.

    *   Sense 2: State of insolvency.
    *   Sense 3: Legal process.
    *   "Disputes arising from the bankruptcy" -> The disputes are about the *fact* that they went bankrupt and the losses incurred, or the *way* the bankruptcy was handled.
    *   Usually, in these types of financial news texts, "bankruptcy" refers to the state of being bankrupt (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: Abstract property (No).
    *   Sense 2: Inability to pay debts / failure (Yes).
    *   Sense 3: Legal process (Possible, but Sense 2 is more general and fits "the bankruptcy of [X]").

    *   "the company had to declare bankruptcy" (Sense 2)
    *   "fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks" (Sense 2)
    *   The context "bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis" mirrors "failure of many banks" almost exactly.

    *   Sense 2 is the most fitting.

    *   The context mentions "settle disputes arising from the bankruptcy".
    *   Sense 1 ("an important question that is in dispute and must be settled") fits perfectly because there is a legal dispute being settled.
    *   Sense 3 ("some situation or event that is thought about") is more general (topic/subject). While it fits, Sense 1 is more precise given the "dispute" and "settle" context.

    *   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 "issue" is the specific point of contention (the sale of mortgage securities) within that dispute. This aligns strongly with Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: "a particular instance" - The text refers to a "string of major banks" and "credit unions" (plural), suggesting a general practice or a series of activities rather than one single instance.
    *   Sense 2: "the general activity of selling" - This fits the context of a regulatory issue involving the practice of selling mortgage securities.

    *   The sentence says banks used "false promises" to "mislead credit unions into buying the financial products."
    *   In this context, "promises" refers to commitments or assurances made by the banks about the financial products (e.g., their value, risk level, or returns) to convince the credit unions to buy them.
    *   This aligns with a "verbal commitment" or assurance (Sense 1) rather than "grounds for feeling hopeful" (Sense 2). While "false promises" can sometimes be used figuratively, in a legal/financial context of misleading a buyer, it refers to specific claims or commitments made.

Deutsche Bank pays multi-million pound fine in the USA Fresh trouble is following hard on the heels of the uproar 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. 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. The <t>value</t> of the securities dropped dramatically during the financial crisis and brought down the credit unions. "We are happy to have resolved the issue without the parties going to court," said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York.

    *   The word "resolved" strongly points to Sense 1 ("must be settled").
    *   The context of "disputes" and "going to court" aligns with "in dispute".

    *   Sense 3: A conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it. (Possible)
    *   Sense 4: Act of colonizing. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: Something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making. Synonyms: resolution, closure. Example: "reached a settlement with the union." (Very likely)
    *   Sense 6: Area where families live together. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 7: Termination of business operation (liquidation). (Incorrect)

    *   Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it"
    *   Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" (Synonyms: resolution, closure)

    Looking at the context: "The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement." This refers to the legal agreement/arrangement reached to resolve the dispute.

    Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 5:
    Sense 5's example "they finally reached a settlement with the union" is almost identical in usage to "reached a settlement" or "the settlement" in a legal/dispute context. Sense 3 is more abstract ("conclusive resolution of a matter").

    Wait, let's look closer at WordNet's typical distinctions.
    Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it"
    Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making"

    Actually, in many WordNet versions, "settlement" in a legal context (paying money to end a dispute) is often mapped to the sense of "resolution" or "agreement".

    Let's re-read:
    Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it"
    Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making"

    In the context of a legal settlement (paying money to avoid court), it is the *outcome* of the negotiation/decision-making process to resolve the dispute.

    Let's check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 3: "conclusive resolution... and disposition of it"
    Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making"

    Actually, looking at the provided senses again:
    Sense 3: settlement%1:10:00
    Sense 5: settlement%1:09:00

    In many WordNet-based datasets, the legal agreement to end a dispute is categorized under the sense of "resolution" or "agreement".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 5: "they finally reached a settlement with the union". This is exactly the context here (Deutsche Bank reaching a settlement with the NCUA).

    Sense 3 is very similar, but Sense 5's example is a perfect match for the legal/dispute context.

    *   Context: Legal agreement to pay money to resolve a dispute.
    *   Sense 5: "something settled or resolved; the outcome of decision making" (Example: "reached a settlement with the union").
    *   Sense 3: "a conclusive resolution of a matter and disposition of it".

    Sense 5 is the most specific and fits the example provided in the gloss.

Target lemma: dollar
Target surface form: dollars
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. The value of the securities dropped dramatically during the financial crisis and brought down the credit unions. "We are happy to have resolved the issue without the parties going to court," said a Deutsche Bank spokesman in New York. The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement. The same is true of Citigroup, which agreed to pay 20.5 million <t>dollars</t>. The NCUA chairman, Debbie Matz, welcomed the responsiveness of the two banks.

*   Target lemma: `dollar`
    *   Target surface form: `dollars`
    *   Context: "...Citigroup, which agreed to pay 20.5 million <t>dollars</t>."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `dollar%1:23:00::`: the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents.
        2.  `dollar%1:21:00::`: a piece of paper money worth one dollar (dollar bill).
        3.  `dollar%1:21:01::`: a United States coin worth one dollar.
        4.  `dollar%1:10:00::`: a symbol of commercialism or greed.

    *   The sentence is "Citigroup, which agreed to pay 20.5 million dollars."
    *   The amount is "20.5 million dollars".
    *   This refers to a sum of money, a monetary value, not specific physical bills (sense 2), specific coins (sense 3), or a symbol of greed (sense 4).

    *   Sense 1: "the basic monetary unit in many countries" - This fits perfectly for a monetary amount.
    *   Sense 2: "a piece of paper money" - 20.5 million pieces of paper money is unlikely to be the intended meaning; it's the value.
    *   Sense 3: "a United States coin" - Same as above.
    *   Sense 4: "a symbol of commercialism or greed" - Not applicable here.

    *   The context refers to a financial settlement of 20.5 million dollars. This is a quantity of the monetary unit.
