Target lemma: case
Target surface form: cases
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. 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 democrats, 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). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

    *   Sense 1 ("an occurrence of something", synonyms: "instance, example") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2 ("a special set of circumstances") is close but usually refers to a hypothetical or specific event (e.g., "in which case").
    *   Sense 4 ("the actual state of things") doesn't fit the plural "both cases" in this way.

    *   "the same as last year in both cases" = "the same as last year in both instances".
    *   This aligns with Sense 1.

    *   The sentence discusses "Latin American countries" suffering a "brief recession" and enjoying a "strong recovery."
    *   Recessions and recoveries are economic phenomena associated with political entities (states/governments) and their economic systems.

    *   This strongly points towards the political entity/state sense.

    *   Sense 5: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" (area). Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1 is the most precise fit for a "politically organized body" that can have a government, a congress, and experience a macroeconomic recession.

        3.  `recovery%1:04:00::`: the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost) (Synonyms: retrieval).

    *   The sentence discusses economic conditions: "brief recession" and "strong recovery".
    *   In an economic context, a "recovery" refers to the process of an economy returning to its previous level of growth or output after a recession.

    *   Sense 1: "return to an original state". This fits the economic context well (returning to pre-recession levels).
    *   Sense 2: "gradual healing... after sickness or injury". This is medical/physical. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of regaining or saving something lost". This usually refers to physical objects (retrieval) or specific lost items. While an economy "regains" growth, "return to an original state" (Sense 1) is a more precise fit for the general process of economic recovery following a recession.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general "return to a previous state" (like a forest after a fire or an economy after a crash).
    *   Sense 3 is more about "retrieval" (e.g., recovery of stolen goods).
    *   Sense 2 is medical.

    *   The context "suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery" clearly points to the economy returning to its normal/previous state of health/growth.

    *   Sense 1: return to an original state. (Correct)

    *   The phrase is "reported this week".
    *   This refers to the current seven-day period in which the report was issued.
    *   It does not refer to a "workweek" (sense 2).
    *   It refers to a general seven-day period. While it might be a calendar week, in common usage "this week" usually refers to the current seven-day cycle.
    *   Comparing sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days) and sense 3 (starting on Sunday). Sense 1 is the general term for a week. Sense 3 is a specific definition of a calendar week.
    *   In the context of "reported this week", it's referring to the general unit of time (7 days). Sense 1 is the most general and standard fit for "this week" unless a specific calendar start date is implied.

    *   Sense 1: General 7-day period.
    *   Sense 2: Workweek. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 3: Calendar week (starting Sunday). (Too specific)

    "This week" typically maps to the general concept of a week (sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
    *   Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday.
    *   Usually, "this week" refers to the current week. In most linguistic datasets for WSD, the general sense of "week" is used unless the specific calendar definition is crucial.

    *   Sense 1 is the most common and appropriate for "this week".

    *   The sentence is "But the mood varies widely from country to country".
    *   The "mood" refers to the public sentiment or confidence mentioned earlier ("Some 34% said they had confidence...").
    *   The comparison is between different political entities (like Brazil, mentioned in the next sentence).
    *   When we say "from country to country" in the context of political confidence and economic performance of nations, we are referring to the political entities/states.

    *   Sense 1 (politically organized body/state) vs. Sense 2 (territory) vs. Sense 3 (people).
    *   "Mood" is often attributed to the people (Sense 3), but "from country to country" usually refers to the political units (Sense 1).
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "African nations"
        *   Sense 2: "visited several European countries"
        *   Sense 3: "the nation's mood"
    *   Wait, the context says "the mood varies widely from country to country". If "mood" is the subject, is "country" referring to the people (Sense 3) or the political entity (Sense 1)?
    *   Usually, "from [X] to [X]" constructions where X is a country refer to the political entities (Sense 1).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2. Sense 1 is the political organization; Sense 2 is the physical territory. "Mood" doesn't vary by territory as much as it varies by political entity/nation.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation". While the people *have* the mood, the phrase "from country to country" is a standard way to refer to different nations/states.
    *   In the previous sentence, "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession", "countries" here clearly means the political entities (Sense 1). The phrase "from country to country" continues this theme.

    *   Sense 1: Politically organized body (state/nation).
    *   Sense 2: Territory.
    *   Sense 3: People.
    *   Sense 4: Rural area.
    *   Sense 5: Geographical region.
    *   The context is about political confidence and economic performance across different nations in Latin America. "From country to country" refers to the different nations/states.

    *   Sense 1 is the most fitting for "country" when used to distinguish between different sovereign states in a political/economic context.

    *   The sentence is: "But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4)."
    *   The preceding context discusses Latin American countries, their economic performance, and support for democracy.
    *   The following sentence mentions "Brazil's strong economic performance".
    *   "From country to country" in this context refers to the different sovereign states/nations within Latin America (e.g., Brazil, Argentina, Chile, etc.).

    *   Sense 1: Politically organized body of people under a single government (State/Nation).
    *   Sense 2: Territory occupied by a nation.
    *   Sense 3: The people who live in a nation.
    *   Sense 4: Rural area.
    *   Sense 5: Geographical region of indefinite boundary.

    *   The phrase "from country to country" when referring to national differences in mood, economic performance, or political support typically refers to the political entities (the states/nations) rather than just the physical land (Sense 2) or the people (Sense 3).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 (political body/state) and Sense 2 (territory): In the context of "mood varies widely from country to country," it's the political/national entity that is being compared.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "African nations".
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 2: "he visited several European countries".
    *   In many contexts, Sense 1 and Sense 2 are very close. However, "mood" and "economic performance" are attributes of the state/nation as a political and social entity.

    *   Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (Synonyms: state, nation).
    *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" (Synonyms: state, land).
    *   The context "the mood varies widely from country to country" refers to the differences between nations (Brazil vs. others). This fits the "politically organized body" (Sense 1) better than just the "territory" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: state, nation.
    *   Sense 2: state, land.
    *   Sense 3: nation, land.
    *   The context is about Latin American countries' economic performance and political support. This is a classic use of "country" as a sovereign state.

    *   Sense 1 is the most comprehensive definition for a sovereign state/nation in a political/economic context.

Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor. (The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB- But the mood varies widely from country to country (see <t>chart</t> 4). Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `time%1:11:00`: an instance or single occasion for some event (e.g., "this time he succeeded", "he called four times").
        2.  `time%1:28:05`: a period of time as a resource (e.g., "take time to smell the roses").
        3.  `time%1:28:00`: an indefinite period (e.g., "he waited a long time").
        4.  `time%1:28:06`: a suitable moment (e.g., "it is time to go").

        6.  `time%1:11:01`: a person's experience on a particular occasion (e.g., "had a good time").

    *   The phrase is "For only the second time since the polls began".
    *   This refers to a specific occurrence or instance of an event (the event being "more respondents... cite crime... as the most important problem").
    *   The use of "second time" indicates a count of occurrences.

    *   Sense 1: "an instance or single occasion for some event" (Example: "he called four times"). This matches perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: Resource (No).
    *   Sense 3: Indefinite period (No).
    *   Sense 4: Suitable moment (No).
    *   Sense 5: Continuum (No).
    *   Sense 6: Experience (No).
    *   Sense 7: Clock time (No).
    *   Sense 8: Fourth dimension (No).
    *   Sense 9: Rhythm (No).
    *   Sense 10: Prison term (No).

    *   The sentence mentions "respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime... as the most important problem".
    *   It refers to "the polls" as something that "began" and provides data ("more respondents... cite crime").
    *   This clearly refers to a survey or an inquiry into public opinion.

    *   Sense 1: "an inquiry into public opinion conducted by interviewing a random sample of people" (opinion poll). This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 5: "the counting of votes (as in an election)". While "polls" often refers to elections, the context here is about "respondents" citing "problems facing their country," which is characteristic of an opinion poll, not an election vote count.

    *   The context describes a survey where people are asked about the most important problem facing their country. This is a classic public opinion poll.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.
