Target lemma: change
Target surface form: changes
Context:
The democratic routine 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 <t>changes</t> in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=change%1:11:00:: | definition=an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another | synonyms=alteration, modification | examples=the change was intended to increase sales; this storm is certainly a change for the worse

*   Target lemma: `change`
    *   Target surface form: `changes`
    *   Context: "...Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks <t>changes</t> in attitude across the region."

    *   Sense 1: `change%1:11:00::` - an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another (alteration, modification).
    *   Sense 2: `change%1:24:00::` - a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event.
    *   Sense 3: `change%1:04:00::` - the action of changing something.
    *   Sense 4: `change%1:19:00::` - the result of alteration or modification.
    *   Sense 5: `change%1:21:02::` - balance of money received.
    *   Sense 6: `change%1:06:01::` - a thing that is different.
    *   Sense 7: `change%1:06:00::` - a different set of clothes.
    *   Sense 8: `change%1:21:01::` - coins of small denomination.

    *   Sense 10: `change%1:07:00::` - a difference that is usually pleasant (variety).

    *   The sentence says the poll "tracks changes in attitude".
    *   "Changes in attitude" refers to the differences or modifications in how people feel over time (from 1995 to the present).
    *   Is it an *event* (Sense 1)? Not really, it's the observed differences.
    *   Is it a *relational difference between states* (Sense 2)? This is a strong candidate.
    *   Is it the *action of changing* (Sense 3)? No, the poll doesn't track the *act* of changing, but the *results* or *differences*.
    *   Is it the *result of alteration or modification* (Sense 4)? This is also a strong candidate. "Marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (example for Sense 4) is similar to "changes in attitude".

    *   Sense 2: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event".
    *   Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification".

    Let's look at the examples:
    *   Sense 2: "he attributed the change to their marriage" (The difference between before and after marriage).
    *   Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (The physical result of a process).

    In "tracks changes in attitude", the poll is measuring how attitudes have shifted over time. This is essentially tracking the *results* of the shifts (Sense 4) or the *differences* between the states at different points in time (Sense 2).

    Wait, let's re-examine Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another". "Alteration, modification".

    Let's compare Sense 4 ("the result of alteration or modification") and Sense 2 ("a relational difference between states").

    If you track "changes in attitude", you are tracking the *fact* that attitudes are different now than they were before.

    Looking at WordNet's structure (if I recall correctly), `change%1:19:00` (Sense 4) often refers to the modified state or the specific modifications themselves.

    Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the result of alteration or modification". Example: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs". This fits "changes in attitude" very well.

    Let's look at Sense 2 again: "a relational difference between states". Example: "he attributed the change to their marriage". This is more about the *delta* or the *shift* itself.

    Actually, "changes in attitude" usually refers to the specific ways in which the attitudes have been modified.

    Let's check Sense 1 again: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".

    Comparing Sense 4 and Sense 2:
    Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification"
    Sense 2: "a relational difference between states"

    In the context of a poll tracking attitudes over time, it's tracking the *results* of the shifts in public opinion.

    Let's re-read the context: "Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region."

    If I say "there were changes in the weather", I usually mean Sense 4 (the results of the weather altering). If I say "the change in the weather was sudden", it could be Sense 1 (the event).

    Let's look at Sense 4's example: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs". This is almost identical in structure to "changes in attitude".

    Sense 2's example: "he attributed the change to their marriage". This is more about the *transition* or the *difference* as a single concept.

    Therefore, Sense 4 seems the most appropriate for "changes in attitude".

    Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 again. "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another". Synonyms: alteration, modification.
    If "changes" = "modifications", then Sense 1 is also possible.

    Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 4.
    Sense 1: an event (the process of changing).
    Sense 4: the result (the thing that has been changed).

    "Tracks changes in attitude" -> Is it tracking the *process* of changing or the *results* (the new states/differences)? Usually, a poll tracks the results (the data points that show the attitude has changed).

    Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the result of alteration or modification".
    Example: "there had been no change in the mountains". (The mountains remained the same).
    Example: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs". (The lining was different).

    This fits "changes in attitude" perfectly. The attitudes are different now than they were in 1995.

    Sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales". (The act/event of changing something).
    Sense 3: "the change of government had no impact". (The action of changing).

    Sense 4 is the most fitting.

    *   1: a special situation ("this thing has got to end")

    *   The "things" are "findings" or "points" from a poll.
    *   "Two related things stand out in the results..."
    *   The first "thing" is "Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    *   This is not an artifact (4), an event (5), an action (2), a feeling (11), or a statement (7).
    *   Is it a "vaguely specified concern" (6)? "Matter" or "affair" could fit, but "concern" doesn't quite fit "findings."
    *   Is it a "separate and self-contained entity" (12)? In a broad sense, yes, but usually, "entity" refers to physical or distinct conceptual objects.
    *   Is it a "special situation" (1)? Not really.
    *   Is it an "attribute or quality" (9)? "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" is a quality/attribute of the region's state.
    *   Let's re-evaluate sense 6 (vaguely specified concern/matter/affair). "Two related matters stand out in the results." This sounds natural.
    *   Let's re-evaluate sense 12 (separate and self-contained entity). "Two related entities stand out." This sounds too formal/technical.
    *   Let's re-evaluate sense 8 (entity not named specifically). "Two related [unnamed entities] stand out."
    *   Wait, look at sense 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair". In many contexts, "thing" used to mean "a point, a fact, or a detail" maps to "matter" or "entity".
    *   Let's look at the examples for sense 6: "several matters to attend to; it is none of your affair".
    *   Let's look at sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity". This is the most general sense of "thing".
    *   Let's look at sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically".
    *   In the sentence "Two related things stand out in the results", "things" refers to the findings/points.
    *   Comparing sense 6 and sense 12:
        *   Sense 6 (matter/affair) often refers to a topic or a subject of discussion.
        *   Sense 12 (entity) is the most generic.
    *   Actually, looking at how "thing" is used in "two things stand out", it usually refers to facts, points, or items.
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern". "Two related concerns stand out"? No. "Two related matters stand out"? Yes.
    *   Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity". "Two related entities stand out"? No.
    *   Wait, let's look at sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically". "Two related [unnamed] things stand out".
    *   Let's reconsider sense 6. "Matter" as in "a subject under consideration".
    *   Let's look at the context again: "Two related things stand out in the results... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    *   The "thing" is a finding/fact.
    *   In WordNet, "thing" as a "fact" or "point" often falls under the most general sense (12) or "matter" (6).
    *   Let's re-read sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair".
    *   Let's re-read sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   If I say "One thing is for sure," "thing" is often sense 12 or 6.
    *   If I say "There are two things I want to mention," "things" are points/items.
    *   Looking at the provided options, sense 6 (matter) seems closer to "point/fact" than sense 12 (entity). However, "matter" in sense 6 is defined as "a vaguely specified concern". Is a poll finding a "concern"? Not necessarily.
    *   Let's look at sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically". This is often used when "thing" is a placeholder for a noun.
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again. "A separate and self-contained entity". This is the most basic definition of "thing".
    *   Let's search for "thing" in similar contexts (e.g., "two things stand out"). Often, this is categorized as the most general sense of "thing" (entity).
    *   Wait, let's look at sense 6 again. "Matter" can mean "a subject under consideration". "Two related matters stand out". This fits well.
    *   Let's compare sense 6 and sense 12 again.
        *   Sense 6: matter, affair.
        *   Sense 12: entity.
    *   In the sentence "Two related things stand out", "things" refers to the findings. A finding is a "matter" or a "point".
    *   Let's check sense 8 again: "an entity that is not named specifically". The things *are* named specifically in the following sentences ("The first is..."). So sense 8 is less likely.
    *   Let's check sense 1: "a special situation". "Two related situations stand out". Possible, but "mood" isn't exactly a situation.
    *   Let's check sense 9: "any attribute or quality". "Two related attributes stand out". "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" is an attribute. This is a strong possibility.
    *   Wait, "Two related things stand out... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." The second thing (not mentioned yet) would also be a finding.
    *   If "things" = "findings", and a finding is a "matter" or "point", sense 6 is a strong candidate.
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again. "A separate and self-contained entity". This is the most generic.
    *   Let's try to find which sense "thing" takes when it means "point" or "fact".
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "thing" meaning "point/fact/item" is mapped to the most general sense (entity).
    *   Let's re-examine sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern". "Concern" is a very specific meaning of "matter".
    *   Let's re-examine sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   If we have "Two things stand out", we are talking about two distinct items/points. This fits "separate and self-contained entity" in a conceptual sense.

    *   Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" (synonyms: matter, affair).
    *   Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   "Two related things stand out in the results..."
    *   If I replace "things" with "matters": "Two related matters stand out in the results." (Sounds okay).
    *   If I replace "things" with "entities": "Two related entities stand out in the results." (Sounds wrong).
    *   If I replace "things" with "points": "Two related points stand out in the results." (Sounds best).
    *   Is "point" closer to "matter" (6) or "entity" (12)?
    *   "Matter" can mean "a subject under consideration" or "a point".
    *   Let's look at the examples for sense 6: "several matters to attend to". This is very close to "several things to attend to".
    *   Let's look at the examples for sense 12: (no examples provided, but it's the most general).
    *   Wait, let's look at sense 8 again: "an entity that is not named specifically". "Two related things [which I will now name] stand out". This is a common use of "thing".
    *   Let's reconsider sense 6. "A vaguely specified concern". A poll finding isn't necessarily a "concern".
    *   Let's reconsider sense 12. "A separate and self-contained entity". A finding is a conceptual entity.
    *   Let's look at sense 9: "any attribute or quality". "Two related attributes stand out". "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." A mood is an attribute/quality. This is very specific and fits the first example. But would the second "thing" also be an attribute? Probably.

    *   "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    *   The "things" are the findings.
    *   Is a finding a "matter" (6), an "attribute" (9), or an "entity" (12)?
    *   In the context of "two things stand out", "things" is almost always used as a general placeholder for "points", "facts", or "findings".
    *   Looking at the WordNet senses again, sense 12 is the most general. Sense 6 is "a vaguely specified concern".
    *   Let's search for "thing" meaning "point" in WordNet.
    *   Often, "thing" meaning "point" or "fact" is mapped to sense 12 (entity) or sense 6 (matter).
    *   Let's look at sense 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair".
    *   If we use "matter" as in "the matter at hand", it's a subject.
    *   If we use "thing" as in "the thing is...", it's often sense 10 (objective) or sense 1 (situation).
    *   Wait, let's look at sense 6's synonyms: "matter, affair".
    *   "Two related matters stand out in the results." This is a very common way to phrase this.
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   Let's compare "Two related matters" vs "Two related entities". "Matters" is much better.
    *   Is "matter" in "two related matters" a "vaguely specified concern"? Not necessarily a "concern" in the sense of "worry", but a "concern" in the sense of "something that is being dealt with" or "a matter of interest".

    *   Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" (synonyms: matter, affair).
    *   Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   In the context of "Two related things stand out in the results", "things" refers to the specific findings.
    *   Let's try sense 6. "Matter" as a synonym for "thing" when referring to a point or subject.

    *   Wait, I just noticed sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically".
    *   "Two related things stand out... The first is..."
    *   This is a classic case of using "thing" as a placeholder for something that is about to be specified.
    *   Let's compare sense 6 and sense 8.
    *   Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" (matter, affair).
    *   Sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically".
    *   If the "things" are the findings, they are entities (conceptual ones). They are not named *until* the next sentence.
    *   However, "matter" (sense 6) also fits "finding/point".
    *   Let's look at the examples for sense 8: "I couldn't tell what the thing was". This is when the entity *remains* unnamed or unknown.
    *   In our context, the things *are* named immediately after.
    *   Let's look at sense 6 again: "several matters to attend to". This is similar to "several things to attend to".
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   Actually, in many WSD tasks, "thing" meaning "point" or "fact" is mapped to the most general sense (entity). Let's double-check.
    *   Wait, let's look at sense 6 again. "Matter" can mean "a subject under consideration". "Two related subjects stand out". This fits.

    *   "Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    *   The "things" are the findings.
    *   A finding is a "matter" (sense 6) or an "entity" (sense 12).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for sense 6: "matter, affair".
    *   "Two related matters stand out in the results." (Very natural).
    *   "Two related entities stand out in the results." (Unnatural).
    *   "Two related concerns stand out in the results." (Less natural, but possible).
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again. "A separate and self-contained entity". This is the most basic definition.
    *   Let's look at sense 8 again. "An entity that is not named specifically".
    *   If I have to choose the *best* sense, and "matter" (sense 6) fits "point/finding" well, I'll go with that. But wait, the definition says "a vaguely specified *concern*". Is a poll finding a "concern"?
    *   Let's re-read sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   Let's re-read sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair".
    *   Actually, "matter" in "two related matters" doesn't mean "concern" (worry), it means "subject".
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again. In many WordNet versions, the most general sense of "thing" is used for "point" or "fact".
    *   Let's try to find another sense. Sense 9: "any attribute or quality". "Two related attributes stand out... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." This is very tempting because "sunny mood" is an attribute. But is the *second* thing also an attribute? The text doesn't say, but it's likely. However, "things" is more likely to be a general term for "findings".

    *   Sense 6: matter, affair.
    *   Sense 12: entity.
    *   In the phrase "two things stand out", "things" are the points being made.
    *   If we look at the WordNet hierarchy, "matter" (sense 6) is a more specific kind of "thing" (entity).
    *   "Matter" as in "a subject under consideration" fits "finding" better than "entity" does.
    *   Let's check the examples for sense 6 again: "several matters to attend to". This is almost identical in structure to "several things to attend to".
    *   Let's check the examples for sense 8: "I couldn't tell what the thing was". This is for an unknown object.
    *   Let's check the examples for sense 12: (none).
    *   I'll go with sense 6 because "matter" is a very close synonym for "point" or "finding" in this context.

    *   Wait, I just found a similar example in a WSD dataset where "thing" meaning "point" was mapped to the most general sense (entity).
    *   Let's re-evaluate. "Two related things stand out".
    *   If "thing" = "point", is "point" a "matter" or an "entity"?
    *   A "point" is a "matter" (a subject of discussion).
    *   Let's look at the definition of sense 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern".
    *   Is a "point" a "concern"? Not really.
    *   Is a "point" an "entity"? Yes, a conceptual entity.
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    *   This is tough. Let's think about "Two related things stand out".
    *   If I say "Two things are true", "things" are facts.
    *   If I say "Two things stand out", "things" are findings/points.
    *   Let's look at sense 6 again. "Matter" can mean "a subject under consideration".
    *   Let's look at sense 12 again. "Entity".
    *   Let's look at sense 8 again. "An entity that is not named specifically".
    *   Actually, sense 6's "vaguely specified concern" might be too narrow.
    *   Let's look at sense 12. It's the most general.
    *   Let's look at sense 8. "An entity that is not named specifically". This is often used when "thing" is a placeholder. "Two related things [which I will now name] stand out".
    *   Let's compare sense 8 and sense 12. Sense 8 is a more specific version of sense 12.
    *   If the "things" are not named *until* the next sentence, sense 8 is a very strong candidate.
    *   Example for sense 8: "I couldn't tell what the thing was".
    *   Example for sense 6: "several matters to attend to".
    *   Wait, "several matters to attend to" is very similar to "two things that stand out". Both are items on a list of things to be discussed or dealt with.
    *   Let's try sense 6.

    *   Wait, let me search for "thing" in WordNet one more time.
    *   Sense 6: thing%1:09:02:: | definition=a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair
    *   Sense 12: thing%1:03:00:: | definition=a separate and self-contained entity
    *   In the context "Two related things stand out", "things" are the findings.
    *   A finding is a "matter" (a subject of interest).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for sense 6: "matter, affair".
    *   "Two related matters stand out". (Natural).
    *   "Two related affairs stand out". (Unnatural).
    *   "Two related entities stand out". (Unnatural).
    *   I'll go with sense 6.

    *   Wait, let me double-check sense 8 again. "An entity that is not named specifically".
    *   "Two related things stand out... The first is..."
    *   This is a very common pattern. "There are two things I want to tell you. First, ..."
    *   In this pattern, "things" are the points.
    *   Is a "point" a "matter" (6) or an "unnamed entity" (8)?
    *   It's both. But "matter" (6) captures the "point/subject" meaning better than "entity" (8/12).
    *   Let's look at the definition of sense 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern".
    *   If "concern" means "something that relates to; a matter of interest", then it fits perfectly.
    *   "A matter of interest" = "a concern".
    *   "Two related matters of interest stand out".
    *   Yes, that works.

    *   The sentence discusses "the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy".
    *   "Attitudes" are the subject being described as stable.
    *   The context mentions a poll tracking "changes in attitude across the region" over time (since 1995).
    *   "Increasing stability of attitudes" suggests that these attitudes are becoming less variable, more consistent, or enduring over time.

    *   Sense 1: "firm and steadfast". This often refers to a person's resolve or a physical object. While attitudes can be steadfast, the context of a poll tracking changes over time points more towards consistency/lack of variation.
    *   Sense 2: "a stable order (especially of society)". This refers to the state of a society (e.g., "political stability"). Here, the word "stability" modifies "of attitudes", not the society itself. It's not saying "the stability of Latin America", but "the stability of attitudes".
    *   Sense 3: "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation" (synonym: constancy). This fits perfectly. The poll tracks changes, and the finding is that the attitudes are becoming more stable (less prone to change/variation).

    *   Sense 3 specifically mentions "free from change or variation" and "constancy".
    *   The context is about a poll tracking "changes in attitude".
    *   Therefore, "stability of attitudes" means the attitudes are no longer changing as much; they are constant.

Context:
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 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 <t>institutions</t>. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1).

    *   The phrase is "democracy and its core institutions".
    *   In the context of political science and democracy, "institutions" refers to the established laws, practices, and organizations (like the judiciary, parliament, electoral systems) that structure the political system.
    *   Sense 1 (organization founded for a specific purpose) fits the organizational aspect (e.g., the Supreme Court).
    *   Sense 3 (a custom/feature of society) fits the systemic/normative aspect (e.g., the rule of law, the electoral process).

    *   Sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose". This is often used for specific entities (e.g., "a financial institution").
    *   Sense 3: "a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society". This is broader and often used for social/political structures (e.g., "the institution of marriage").

    *   In political discourse, "democratic institutions" usually refers to both the formal organizations (Sense 1) and the established practices/norms (Sense 3).
    *   However, looking at the WordNet hierarchy (though not provided here, I recall it), "institution" as a social structure/custom is often the intended meaning when talking about "the institution of [something]".
    *   Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society".
    *   "Core institutions of democracy" typically refers to the parliament, the courts, the electoral commission, etc. These are organizations.
    *   However, "institutions" in a sociological/political sense often encompasses the rules and norms.
    *   Let's compare:
        *   "The institution of marriage" (Sense 3)
        *   "The Smithsonian is a great institution" (Sense 1)
        *   "Democratic institutions" (Usually refers to the bodies like the legislature, judiciary, etc.)

    *   If "institutions" refers to the bodies (Parliament, Courts), Sense 1 is better.
    *   If "institutions" refers to the established practices/systems, Sense 3 is better.
    *   In the phrase "democracy and its core institutions", it usually means the structural components of the democratic system.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "establishment".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "the institution of marriage; the institution of slavery". These are social constructs.
    *   Democratic institutions (like the press, the courts, the legislature) are often viewed as both organizations and social constructs.
    *   However, in most WSD datasets (like SemCor), "institutions" in the context of government/democracy is mapped to the "organization" sense (Sense 1) or the "social custom/practice" sense (Sense 3).
    *   Let's think about "core institutions". This usually refers to the pillars of the state. These are organizations.

    *   Sense 1: Organization.
    *   Sense 3: Custom/Feature.
    *   "Democratic institutions" = The courts, the legislature, the executive. These are organizations.
    *   "The institution of democracy" = The custom/system.
    *   The text says "democracy and its core institutions". This separates democracy (the system/custom) from its institutions (the components). This strongly suggests the components are the organizations.

    *   Sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose".
    *   Sense 3: "a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society".
    *   If the text said "the institution of democracy", it would be Sense 3.
    *   Since it says "democracy and its core institutions", it refers to the entities that make up the system.

    *   Sense 1: Organization.
    *   Sense 2: Building.
    *   Sense 3: Custom.
    *   Sense 4: Act of starting.
    *   Sense 5: Mental hospital.
    *   Sense 1 is the most fitting for "core institutions" of a political system.

    *   Key phrase: "Support for democracy"

    *   Sense 1: Providing for/maintaining by supplying money or necessities (e.g., emotional support, keeping a family together).
    *   Sense 2: Aiding the cause or policy or interests of (this is a verb-like definition, but the target is a noun). Wait, let me re-read. "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" - this looks like a definition for the *act* or *state* of aiding.
    *   Sense 3: Something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (e.g., "the policy found little public support").
    *   Sense 4: Military operation (reinforcement).

    *   The context is "Support for democracy".
    *   This refers to public approval, backing, or immaterial assistance for a political system (democracy).
    *   Sense 2 ("aiding the cause or policy or interests of") and Sense 3 ("something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest") are the closest.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 2 example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
        *   Sense 3 example: "the policy found little public support"
    *   "Support for democracy" is very similar to "public support" for a policy.
    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 2 and Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (This sounds like the *act* of supporting).
        *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (This sounds like the *thing* that provides the assistance, i.e., the support itself).
    *   In "Support for democracy has risen", "support" is the noun referring to the approval/backing.
    *   Comparing "the president no longer has the support of his own party" (Sense 2) and "the policy found little public support" (Sense 3).
    *   Actually, looking closer at the WordNet structure (though I can't see the full hierarchy), Sense 2 is often the *act* of supporting, and Sense 3 is the *thing* (the support itself).
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". This is phrased as a gerund/action.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
    *   "Support for democracy" is the immaterial assistance (approval/backing) that democracy receives from the people.

    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
    *   Example for Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    *   Example for Sense 3: "the policy found little public support"
    *   "Support for democracy" is almost identical in usage to "public support" for a policy.

    *   Wait, let me look at the sense keys provided:
        *   `support%1:04:00` (Sense 2)
        *   `support%1:09:00` (Sense 3)
    *   In many WordNet versions, `support%1:09:00` is specifically "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
    *   "Support for democracy" fits this perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: Money/necessities (No)
    *   Sense 4: Military (No)
    *   Sense 5: Documentation (No)
    *   Sense 6: Livelihood (No)
    *   Sense 7: Structure (No)
    *   Sense 8: Bearing weight (No)
    *   Sense 9: Music (No)
    *   Sense 10: Device (No)
    *   Sense 11: Funding (No)

    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
    *   Example 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    *   Example 3: "the policy found little public support"
    *   Both are very close. However, "public support" (Sense 3) is a near-perfect match for "support for democracy" (which is essentially public support for a system of government). Sense 2's definition "aiding the cause..." is slightly more active, whereas Sense 3 "something providing immaterial assistance..." describes the support itself.

    *   "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
    *   This refers to the level of approval/backing.
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (Example: "the policy found little public support").
    *   This fits best.

    *   Comparing Sense 1 (politically organized body) and Sense 2 (territory occupied by a nation).

    *   Sense 2 focuses on the territory.
    *   Usually, when talking about polls, democracy, and international relations, "country" refers to the sovereign state (Sense 1).

        *   Sense 1: "African nations", "the state has elected a new president".
        *   Sense 2: "he visited several European countries".
    *   The context "several countries on the Pacific rim" is very similar to "several European countries". However, the focus is on "support for democracy", which is a political attribute of the state/nation.
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: Politically organized body (the state).
        *   Sense 2: Territory occupied by a nation.
    *   In most WSD tasks for "country" meaning a sovereign state, Sense 1 is the preferred choice when the political aspect is emphasized.
    *   "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries" -> This refers to the political entities.

    *   Sense 1: `country%1:14:00::` (politically organized body)
    *   Sense 2: `country%1:15:00::` (territory)
    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:01::` (people)
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:01::` (rural)
    *   Sense 5: `country%1:15:02::` (region)

    The context is about political polls and democracy. This strongly points to the political entity (Sense 1).

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 1: "African nations"
    Sense 2: "he visited several European countries"
    The phrase "several countries on the Pacific rim" is structurally identical to "several European countries". However, the *topic* is democracy and political stability.

    Let's check if "countries" in "poll taken in 18 countries" and "support for democracy has risen... in several countries" fits Sense 1 better.
    Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation".

    Usually, "country" as a sovereign state is mapped to Sense 1 in these datasets unless the physical land is specifically meant.

    *   Sense 1: state, nation, commonwealth.
    *   Sense 2: state, land.

    "Support for democracy has risen... in several countries" -> The support is within the political entity/nation.

    Let's double-check the WordNet hierarchy if possible.
    Country (14:00) -> state -> political entity.
    Country (15:00) -> land -> region.

    Given the context of democracy and polls, the political entity (Sense 1) is the most precise fit.

    Wait, let me look at the examples for Sense 2 again: "he visited several European countries". This is a very common usage. Is "several countries on the Pacific rim" more like "visiting countries" (territory) or "African nations" (political entities)?
    The context is "Support for democracy has risen... in several countries". This is about the political state of those nations.

    Let's compare:
    "Support for democracy in Peru" (Peru as a state).
    "Support for democracy in several countries" (countries as states).

    Sense 1 seems the most appropriate for political contexts.

Target lemma: year
Target surface form: year
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 <t>year</t> 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.
