    *   Target word: "Support"
    *   Key phrase: "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up"

    *   Sense 1: Providing money or necessities (e.g., emotional support, keeping a family together). -> Not fitting.
    *   Sense 2: Aiding the cause or policy or interests of (e.g., president has the support of his party). -> This describes the *act* or *state* of aiding.
    *   Sense 3: Something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (e.g., public support). -> This describes the *thing* (the support itself) that provides assistance.
    *   Sense 4: Military operation. -> Not fitting.
    *   Sense 5: Documentary validation. -> Not fitting.
    *   Sense 6: Financial means/livelihood. -> Not fitting.

    *   Sense 9: Musical part. -> Not fitting.
    *   Sense 10: Device that bears weight. -> Not fitting.
    *   Sense 11: Financial resources for a project. -> Not fitting.

    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (often used as a verb or a general concept of loyalty/agreement).
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (e.g., "the policy found little public support").

    In the context "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up", "support" refers to the level of public approval or backing for the concept of democracy. This aligns perfectly with "public support" in Sense 3.

    *   Sense 2 is more about the *act* of aiding or the *state* of having allies.
    *   Sense 3 is the *thing* (the approval/backing) that is being measured (edging up).

    Wait, let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 2: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    Sense 3: "the policy found little public support"

    Both are very similar. However, "Support for democracy... continues to edge up" is almost identical in structure and meaning to "the policy found little public support". It refers to the general level of approval/backing.

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". This is often the definition for the *verb* "to support".
    Let's re-read Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest". This is the *noun* form of that assistance.

    In the sentence, "Support" is a noun (the subject of the sentence).

    Sense 3 specifically mentions "public support" in its example, which matches "Support for democracy in Latin America" perfectly.

    Sense 3.

    *   "Brazil is seen as more influential than the United States across much of the region."

    *   While the government *is* the actor that exerts influence, the standard way to refer to the country in this comparison is as the nation-state.

    *   Sense 1: The country (North American republic).
    *   Sense 2: The government (executive, legislative, judicial branches).

    *   If the sentence meant the government, it would be saying "Brazil [the country] is more influential than the US government." While possible, it's far more natural to compare country to country.

Which numbered sense of "finding" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the context below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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 <t>findings</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation | synonyms=determination | examples=the determination of molecular structures
2. definition=the decision of a court on issues of fact or law
3. definition=something that is found | examples=the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner; an area rich in archaeological findings

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Those are some of the <t>findings</t> of the latest Latinobarómetro poll..."
    *   Target word: "findings"
    *   Contextual meaning: The results or conclusions derived from a poll/survey.

    *   Sense 1: "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation" (Synonym: determination).
    *   Sense 2: "the decision of a court on issues of fact or law".
    *   Sense 3: "something that is found" (Examples: medical findings, archaeological findings).

    *   Sense 2 (Court decision) is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 3 (Something physically found, like in a gut or in the ground) is not a fit for poll results.
    *   Sense 1 (The act of determining properties by research/calculation) is the closest, as a poll is a form of research used to determine properties (attitudes, support levels) of a population.

    *Wait*, let me re-evaluate. Often, "findings" in the context of a study or poll refers to the *results* themselves.
    Looking at the provided senses again:
    1. "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation"
    2. "the decision of a court..."
    3. "something that is found"

    Is "findings" in "findings of the poll" the *act* of determining (Sense 1) or the *things* found (Sense 3)?
    Example for Sense 3: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate..." (Physical objects).
    Example for Sense 1: "the determination of molecular structures".

    Actually, in many dictionaries, "findings" (plural) refers to the results of an investigation.
    Let's look at Sense 1 again: "the act of determining...". This sounds like the *process*.
    Let's look at Sense 3 again: "something that is found". This sounds like the *result*.

    Wait, let's re-read the context: "Those are some of the findings of the latest Latinobarómetro poll".
    "Those" refers to the statements: "Support for democracy... continues to edge up", "Crime has become a bigger worry", "Brazil is seen as more influential".
    These are the *results* or *conclusions* of the poll.

    Does "something that is found" (Sense 3) cover "results of a study"?
    In the provided examples for Sense 3: "findings in the gastrointestinal tract", "archaeological findings". These are physical objects.

    Does "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation" (Sense 1) cover "results of a study"?
    Usually, "the findings" (plural) refers to the *results* of the research, not the *act* of researching.

    Let's re-examine the senses provided. Maybe I'm overthinking and one of these is a broader definition.
    Sense 1: "the act of determining..."
    Sense 2: "decision of a court..."
    Sense 3: "something that is found"

    If I have to choose between 1 and 3:
    Sense 3 is "something that is found". A result of a poll is something that was "found" during the research.
    Sense 1 is "the act of determining". The statements "Support for democracy... continues to edge up" are not "the act of determining"; they are the *results* of that act.

    However, in many lexical databases (like WordNet), "finding" as in "research findings" is often grouped with "something found".

    Let's check Sense 1 again. "the determination of molecular structures". This is the *process* or the *result* of the process? "The determination of X" often means the result (e.g., "The determination of the date of the artifact was difficult"). But the definition says "the act of determining".

    Let's look at Sense 3 again. "something that is found".
    Poll results are things found by the researchers.

    Let's compare:
    "The findings of the poll" -> The results.
    Sense 1: The act of determining.
    Sense 3: Something that is found.

    If the "findings" are the specific data points (Support is up, Crime is a worry), these are "things found" (Sense 3).

    Wait, let me search for these specific definitions. They look like they might come from a specific dictionary (like Oxford or Merriam-Webster).
    Oxford Learner's Dictionary:
    finding (noun):
    1. (plural) a conclusion reached after an investigation.
    2. (plural) a decision made by a judge or jury.
    3. (plural) something that is found.

    The provided senses are slightly different.
    Sense 1: "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation"
    Sense 2: "the decision of a court on issues of fact or law"
    Sense 3: "something that is found"

    If Sense 1 is "the act", it's the process.
    If Sense 3 is "something that is found", it's the result.
    The "findings of the poll" are the results.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "the determination of molecular structures". Is that an act or a result? "The determination of the structure was achieved using X." (Result). "The determination of the structure took three years." (Act).

    Actually, looking at the examples for Sense 3: "findings in the gastrointestinal tract", "archaeological findings". These are physical objects.
    Poll results are not physical objects.

    Is there a sense missing? Or is Sense 1 intended to cover research results?
    "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation"
    If you determine that "Support for democracy is edging up", that is a property of the population determined by research.

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "something that is found".
    In a broad sense, a poll result is something found.

    Let's look at the context again. "Those are some of the findings...". "Those" refers to the facts discovered.
    Fact 1: Support for democracy is edging up.
    Fact 2: Crime is a bigger worry.
    Fact 3: Brazil is more influential.

    These are "things found" (Sense 3) or "the act of determining" (Sense 1)?
    They are definitely not "the act". They are the *results* of the act.

    Therefore, Sense 3 ("something that is found") is the most logical fit, even if the examples provided are physical. In a general sense, a finding is something discovered.

    Wait, let me search for these exact definitions online.
    They look like they might be from a dataset like WordNet or a similar corpus.
    WordNet:
    finding:
    1. a conclusion reached after an investigation.
    2. a decision made by a judge or jury.
    3. something that is found.

    Wait, the provided Sense 1 is "the act of determining...". This is different from "a conclusion reached".
    If Sense 1 is "the act", and Sense 3 is "something that is found", and the context is "the results of a poll", "something that is found" (Sense 3) is a better fit for "results" than "the act of determining" (Sense 1).

    Let's re-verify Sense 1: "the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation".
    If I say "The findings of the study", I am referring to the results.
    If I say "The finding of the properties of the element", I am referring to the act.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 3 again: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner".
    Here, "findings" refers to the evidence/results found during an autopsy. This is very similar to "findings of a poll". Both are results of an investigation.

    Conclusion: Sense 3 is the most appropriate.

    *Self-Correction/Double Check:*
    Sense 1: Act of determining.
    Sense 2: Court decision.
    Sense 3: Something found.
    Context: Poll results.
    Poll results = things found during the poll.
    Sense 3 fits best.

    *   The context mentions a poll taken in "18 countries" in Latin America.
    *   A poll is typically conducted across different sovereign states or nations.
    *   "18 countries" refers to 18 distinct political entities/states.

    *   Sense 1 (politically organized body/state) fits best because the poll is conducted across different sovereign nations.
    *   Sense 2 (territory) is close, but usually, when counting "countries" in a poll, we mean the political entities.

    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, Sense 1 (the state) and Sense 2 (the territory) are very similar. But "18 countries" usually refers to the political units.

    *   Sense 1: Politically organized body.
    *   Sense 2: Territory.
    *   If I say "I visited 18 countries", am I visiting the territory or the political body? Usually the territory.
    *   If I say "A poll was taken in 18 countries", am I referring to the political entities? Yes.
    *   Let's check the provided examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "the state has elected a new president; African nations"
    *   Sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries"
    *   "18 countries" in a poll is most similar to "African nations" or "European countries".
    *   Looking at the distinction: Sense 1 is the *entity* (the state), Sense 2 is the *land* (the territory).
    *   A poll is conducted among the people of a state.
    *   Most NLP datasets (like WordNet) distinguish between the political entity and the geographic area.
    *   In "poll taken in 18 countries", it refers to the political entities.

    *   Sense 1: state, nation.
    *   Sense 2: territory.
    *   Sense 3: people.
    *   Sense 4: rural.
    *   Sense 5: region.
    *   The most accurate fit for "18 countries" (meaning 18 sovereign states) is Sense 1.

        *   Sense 4: "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (the observable results/differences).
    *   In "tracks changes in attitude", the poll is tracking the observable differences/results of the shift in attitudes. This aligns closely with Sense 4.

    *   Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"
    *   Sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification"
    *   If you track "changes in attitude", you are tracking the *results* of the modification of those attitudes over time.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "alteration, modification".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   In "changes in attitude", are we talking about the *event* of changing or the *result* of the change?
    *   Usually, "changes in [something]" refers to the modifications themselves (the results).
    *   Example: "changes in the weather", "changes in the law", "changes in attitude". These are the results of the process of changing.

    *   Sense 1: Event/Process.
    *   Sense 4: Result/Difference.
    *   Tracking "changes in attitude" means tracking the differences that have occurred. This is the result of the modification.

12. definition=a separate and self-contained entity

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Two related <t>things</t> stand out in the results of this year's poll..."
    *   The "things" refer to findings or results from a poll (specifically, the first one mentioned is "Latin America's fairly sunny mood").
    *   The sentence is introducing specific points or facts derived from the data.

    *   1. a special situation (e.g., "this thing has got to end") - Not quite.
    *   2. an action (e.g., "how could you do such a thing?") - No.
    *   3. a special abstraction (e.g., "things of the heart") - No.
    *   4. an artifact (e.g., "how does this thing work?") - No.
    *   5. an event (e.g., "a funny thing happened") - No.
    *   6. a vaguely specified concern (synonyms: matter, affair) - Possible, but "findings" aren't exactly "concerns" or "affairs" in the sense of "matters to attend to."
    *   7. a statement regarded as an object (e.g., "say the same thing") - No.
    *   8. an entity that is not named specifically (e.g., "I couldn't tell what the thing was") - No.
    *   9. any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence (e.g., "the thing I like about her is...") - This is close, as the "things" are attributes/qualities of the poll results.
    *   10. a special objective (e.g., "the thing is to stay in bounds") - No.
    *   11. a persistent illogical feeling (e.g., "has a thing about seafood") - No.
    *   12. a separate and self-contained entity - This is the most general definition.

    *   The "things" are "findings" or "points" from a poll.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair". In many contexts, "the thing is..." or "one thing is..." refers to a point or a matter.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity". This is very broad.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 9: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence". "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" is a quality/attribute of the region's attitude.

    *   "Two related things stand out in the results..."
    *   This is a common way to introduce points, facts, or observations.
    *   Looking at the provided senses again, Sense 6 ("a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair") often covers "points" or "items" in a list of considerations.
    *   However, Sense 12 is the most basic definition of "thing" as an object/entity (even an abstract one).
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 6 again. "Several matters to attend to." "It is none of your affair." These are more about business or personal concerns.
    *   What about Sense 9? "The thing I like about her is..." This refers to a specific quality. "The first [thing] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." This fits well.

    *   Sense 6: matter, affair.
    *   Sense 9: attribute or quality.
    *   Sense 12: separate and self-contained entity.

    In the sentence "Two related things stand out in the results...", the "things" are the specific findings. A finding is a piece of information, a fact, or a quality observed.

    Let's compare "Two related things stand out" with "Two related matters stand out" (Sense 6) or "Two related entities stand out" (Sense 12) or "Two related qualities stand out" (Sense 9).

    Actually, in many dictionaries (like WordNet, which these senses seem to be from), "thing" used to mean "a point" or "a fact" often falls under a general category or a specific one like "matter".

    Let's look at Sense 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair".
    Example: "several matters to attend to".
    If we replace "things" with "matters": "Two related matters stand out in the results..." This works.

    Let's look at Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    If we replace "things" with "entities": "Two related entities stand out in the results..." This is too formal and slightly off.

    Let's look at Sense 9: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence".
    If we replace "things" with "attributes": "Two related attributes stand out in the results..." This is close, but "findings" aren't always attributes.

    Wait, let's look at the examples for Sense 6 again: "several matters to attend to; it is none of your affair". These are more about "business".

    Let's reconsider Sense 12. In many NLP datasets (like SemCor), the most general sense of "thing" is used for abstract entities like "findings" or "points".

    Let's search for this specific sense set. These look like WordNet senses.
    WordNet "thing":
    1. a special situation
    2. an action
    3. a special abstraction
    4. an artifact
    5. an event
    6. a vaguely specified concern (matter, affair)
    7. a statement regarded as an object
    8. an entity that is not named specifically
    9. any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence
    10. a special objective
    11. a persistent illogical feeling
    12. a separate and self-contained entity

    In the context "Two related things stand out in the results", the "things" are the findings. A finding is an abstract entity. Sense 12 is the most general definition of an entity.

    Let's double-check Sense 6 again. "Matter" can mean "a subject under consideration". "Two related matters stand out..." This is very common.

    Let's look at the first "thing" mentioned: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    Is a "sunny mood" a "matter/affair" (Sense 6), an "attribute/quality" (Sense 9), or a "separate and self-contained entity" (Sense 12)?
    It's definitely an attribute or quality (Sense 9).

    Wait, let's re-read Sense 9: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence".
    Example: "the thing I like about her is..."
    This matches "The first [thing] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood" very well.

    Let's check Sense 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern". A "sunny mood" is not really a "concern".

    Let's check Sense 12: "a separate and self-contained entity". A "sunny mood" is not really a "separate and self-contained entity" in the way a physical object or a distinct concept is.

    Therefore, Sense 9 seems the most fitting for "a sunny mood" and the "findings" (which are attributes of the region's attitude).

    Context: "Two related things stand out in the results... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    Sense 9: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence"
    Example: "the thing I like about her is..."
    Comparison: "The thing [that stands out] is [the] sunny mood."
    This matches the structure and meaning perfectly.

    Wait, let me think one more time. Is "finding" an "attribute or quality"?
    A finding *about* a population (that they have a sunny mood) is a quality of that population.
    The "thing" that stands out is the "sunny mood".
    "Sunny mood" = attribute/quality.

    Let's quickly check Sense 6 again. "Matter" as in "the matter at hand". "Two related matters stand out". This is possible, but "sunny mood" doesn't fit "matter" as well as it fits "quality".

    Let's check Sense 12. "Entity". A "sunny mood" is an entity in a very broad sense, but Sense 9 is more specific and accurate.

    Sense 9: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence"
    Example: "the thing I like about her is..."
    Context: "Two related things stand out... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    The "thing" is the "sunny mood". A "sunny mood" is a quality.

    This seems the most plausible.

    *   Sense 2: "the top of the head" - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 3: "the part of the head between the ears" - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: "a tame parrot" - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 5: "the counting of votes (as in an election)" - While related to polling, the context is about "findings," "attitudes," and "backing for private enterprise," which describes an opinion poll rather than the act of counting ballots in an election.

Sense 1 is the correct fit.

Which numbered sense of "mood" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the context below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Context: 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 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 <t>mood</t>. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions.

Senses:
1. definition=a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling | synonyms=temper, humor, humour | examples=whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time; he was in a bad humor
2. definition=the prevailing psychological state | synonyms=climate | examples=the climate of opinion; the national mood had changed radically since the last election
3. definition=verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker | synonyms=mode, modality

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny <t>mood</t>."
    *   Surrounding text: Discusses a poll (Latinobarómetro) tracking changes in attitude across 18 countries in Latin America. It mentions findings about crime, influence, and stability of attitudes towards democracy.
    *   Target word: "mood"

    *   Sense 1: "a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling" (individual temper/humor).
    *   Sense 2: "the prevailing psychological state" (collective climate, e.g., national mood).
    *   Sense 3: "verb inflections that express how the action or state is conceived by the speaker" (linguistic mood).

    *   The context refers to "Latin America's... mood."
    *   Latin America is a region/collection of countries, not a single person.
    *   The text is talking about the results of a poll tracking "changes in attitude across the region."
    *   Therefore, "mood" here refers to the collective psychological state or general feeling of the population in that region.
    *   This matches Sense 2 ("the prevailing psychological state", "the national mood").

    *   Sense 1 is for individuals.
    *   Sense 3 is for grammar.
    *   Sense 2 is for collective/prevailing states.

    *   Sense 2: "a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first". This refers to music (e.g., second violin), which is not the case here.

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 <t>stability</t> 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).

Senses:
1. definition=the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast | synonyms=stableness
2. definition=a stable order (especially of society)
3. definition=the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation | synonyms=constancy | examples=early mariners relied on the constancy of the trade winds

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The second is the increasing <t>stability</t> of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
    *   Target word: "stability"
    *   Contextual meaning: The text discusses a poll tracking changes in attitude over time. It mentions that support for democracy has risen and that attitudes towards democracy and its institutions are becoming more "stable" (less likely to fluctuate wildly or decline).

    *   Sense 1: "the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast" (often refers to physical stability or a person's character/resolve).
    *   Sense 2: "a stable order (especially of society)" (refers to the state of a society/government being stable, e.g., "political stability").
    *   Sense 3: "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation" (synonym: constancy).

    *   The sentence is "the increasing stability of attitudes".
    *   Does it mean a "stable order of society" (Sense 2)? No, it's talking about the *attitudes* themselves, not the societal order.
    *   Does it mean "firm and steadfast" (Sense 1)? This is close, but "steadfast" usually describes a person's loyalty or a physical object.
    *   Does it mean "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation" (Sense 3)? Yes. The poll tracks *changes* in attitude. If attitudes are becoming more stable, it means they are varying less over time; they are becoming constant.

    *   Sense 1: Firmness/steadfastness.
    *   Sense 2: Societal order.
    *   Sense 3: Constancy/lack of variation.
    *   In the context of "stability of attitudes" tracked by a poll over time, Sense 3 (constancy/lack of variation) fits best.

    *Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 vs Sense 3.*
    Sense 1: "firm and steadfast"
    Sense 3: "enduring and free from change or variation"

    If attitudes are "stable," they aren't changing much. This aligns perfectly with "free from change or variation."

    Let's look at Sense 2 again: "a stable order (especially of society)". The text mentions "democracy and its core institutions," which are parts of a societal order. However, the word "stability" modifies "of attitudes," not the institutions themselves. It's the *attitudes* that are stable.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the most accurate.

*   Context: "...the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core <t>institutions</t>."
    *   Target word: "institutions" (plural of institution).
    *   Contextual clues: "democracy and its core institutions". This refers to the structures, organizations, or established systems that make a democracy function (e.g., the judiciary, the legislature, the electoral system).

    *   Sense 1: "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose | synonyms=establishment" (e.g., a university, a bank, a government body).

    *   In the phrase "democracy and its core institutions", "institutions" refers to the organized bodies or systems (like the courts, parliament, etc.) that uphold the democratic system.
    *   Sense 1 (organization founded for a specific purpose) fits best here, as democratic institutions are organizations/bodies established to perform specific functions within the government.
    *   Sense 3 (custom) is close, but "core institutions of democracy" usually refers to the formal organizations (the state apparatus) rather than just customs. However, in political science, "institutions" can be both formal (organizations) and informal (norms). Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    *   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".
    *   Usually, "democratic institutions" refers to the judiciary, the legislature, the executive, the electoral commission, etc. These are organizations.

    *   Sense 1: Organization/Establishment.
    *   Sense 3: Custom/Tradition.
    *   "Core institutions of democracy" almost always refers to the formal structures (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate fit for "core institutions" of a political system.

    *   Sense 2: The territory occupied by a nation (state, land).
    *   Sense 3: The people who live in a nation or country (nation, land).
    *   Sense 4: An area outside of cities and towns (rural area).
    *   Sense 5: A particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area).

    *   The text mentions a poll taken in "18 countries" and specifically mentions "Peru".
    *   It discusses "support for democracy" and "economic growth".
    *   These refer to sovereign states/political entities.
    *   Sense 1 (politically organized body/state) and Sense 2 (territory occupied by a nation) are very close.
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "the state has elected a new president; African nations"
        *   Sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries"
    *   In the context "several countries on the Pacific rim of South America", it refers to the political entities (states) that make up the region.
    *   Usually, when talking about polls, governments, and democracy, "country" refers to the political entity (Sense 1). However, "visited several European countries" (Sense 2) is very similar to "several countries on the Pacific rim".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: Politically organized body (the state).
        *   Sense 2: The territory (the land).
    *   "Support for democracy has risen... in several countries". Democracy is a system of government. Therefore, it's referring to the political entity/state.

    *   Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" -> Fits perfectly with "support for democracy".
    *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" -> While it's in a location, the focus is on the political state of democracy.
    *   Sense 3: "the people" -> Not the primary meaning here.
    *   Sense 4: "rural area" -> Definitely not.
    *   Sense 5: "geographical region of indefinite boundary" -> These are defined sovereign states.

    *   The context is about political polls, democracy, and economic growth in specific nations (like Peru). This aligns best with the definition of a state or nation as a political entity.

    *   Wait, let me look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "African nations"
    *   Sense 2: "visited several European countries"
    *   The phrase "several countries on the Pacific rim" is structurally very similar to "several European countries".
    *   However, the *subject* is "support for democracy", which is a political attribute of a state.
    *   In many dictionaries (like WordNet, which these senses seem to be based on), Sense 1 is the political entity and Sense 2 is the geographic territory.
    *   If you say "democracy has risen in several countries", you are talking about the political entities.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 vs Sense 2 again.
    *   Sense 1: politically organized body.
    *   Sense 2: territory occupied by a nation.
    *   If I say "I live in the country of France", I might mean the land. If I say "France is a country", I mean the political entity.
    *   "Support for democracy has risen... in several countries". This refers to the political organization.

    *   Let's look at the provided examples for Sense 1: "African nations".
    *   Let's look at the provided examples for Sense 2: "he visited several European countries".
    *   The context "several countries on the Pacific rim" is almost identical in structure to "several European countries".
    *   But the *meaning* of the sentence is about political trends.
    *   Actually, in most NLP datasets (like SemCor), "country" in the sense of a sovereign state is often mapped to the "political entity" definition.

    *   Let's re-read: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America".
    *   Is it the *land* or the *political entity*? It's the political entity.

    *   Sense 1: politically organized body.
    *   Sense 2: territory.
    *   Sense 3: people.
    *   Sense 4: rural.
    *   Sense 5: region.

Which numbered sense of "year" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the context below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...where economic growth has averaged 6% a <t>year</t> since 2002..."
    *   Target word: "year"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  A period of 365/366 days (standard calendar year).
        2.  A period for a particular activity (e.g., school year).
        3.  Planetary revolution around the sun.
        4.  A graduating class.

    *   The phrase "averaged 6% a year" refers to the rate of economic growth over a period of 365/366 days.
    *   This matches Sense 1: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days".

    *   Sense 2 (school year/activity year) doesn't fit economic growth.
    *   Sense 3 (astronomical year) is too technical and not the intended meaning here.
    *   Sense 4 (graduating class) doesn't fit at all.
