    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `uproar%1:26:00::`: a state of commotion and noise and confusion (synonyms: tumult, tumultuousness, garboil)
        2.  `uproar%1:11:00::`: loud confused noise from many sources (synonyms: hubbub, brouhaha, katzenjammer)

    *   The "uproar around Josef Ackermann" refers to a public outcry, a scandal, or a state of agitation/commotion caused by something he did or was involved in.
    *   It's not literally "loud confused noise from many sources" (like a crowd shouting in a stadium), but rather a state of public disturbance, controversy, or commotion.

    *   Sense 1: "a state of commotion and noise and confusion" (tumult). This fits the idea of a public scandal or a state of agitation.
    *   Sense 2: "loud confused noise from many sources" (hubbub, brouhaha). While "brouhaha" can mean a stir or commotion, the primary definition here emphasizes the *noise* aspect ("loud confused noise").

    *   In the context of a CEO and a bank, "uproar" usually means a public outcry or a state of agitation/commotion (Sense 1) rather than just the physical sound of people shouting (Sense 2).
    *   Wait, let's look at "brouhaha" in Sense 2. A brouhaha is often used for a public outcry. However, the definition provided for Sense 2 is "loud confused noise from many sources".
    *   Sense 1 is "a state of commotion and noise and confusion".
    *   Comparing the two: Sense 1 is more about the *state* of commotion, while Sense 2 is more about the *noise* itself.
    *   The "uproar around Josef Ackermann" is a state of public commotion/outcry.

    *   Sense 1: state of commotion.
    *   Sense 2: loud confused noise.
    *   The context "uproar around [Person]" strongly suggests a state of public agitation or controversy.

    *   Sense 1: tumult, tumultuousness, garboil.
    *   Sense 2: hubbub, brouhaha, katzenjammer.
    *   "Brouhaha" often fits this context well, but the definition given for Sense 2 is specifically "loud confused noise".
    *   "Tumult" (Sense 1) can also mean a state of confusion or disorder.

    *   Is it a physical noise (Sense 2) or a general state of commotion/outcry (Sense 1)?
    *   "The uproar around Josef Ackermann" is clearly a metaphorical or social commotion, not just a physical sound.
    *   Sense 1 ("a state of commotion") is a better fit for a social/political stir than Sense 2 ("loud confused noise").

    *   Sense 1: state of commotion and noise and confusion.
    *   Sense 2: loud confused noise from many sources.
    *   The "uproar around [Person]" is a state of commotion.

    *   Sense 1: state of commotion.
    *   Sense 2: loud noise.
    *   Context: "uproar around Josef Ackermann".
    *   Conclusion: Sense 1.

    *   The phrase is "multi-million pound fine".
    *   This clearly refers to a unit of currency.
    *   The context mentions "145 million dollars (106 million Euros)".
    *   Wait, the text says "multi-million pound fine" but then specifies "145 million dollars (106 million Euros)".
    *   In English journalism, "pound" is often used generically or specifically for the British pound sterling.
    *   Looking at the candidate senses, sense 4 is the British pound.
    *   Is it possible it's referring to another pound? (Egyptian, Syrian, Sudanese, Lebanese, Cypriot, Irish). Unlikely given the context of a global bank and the conversion to dollars and euros.
    *   Is it the symbol (sense 8)? No, it's used as an adjective describing the fine.
    *   Is it the weight (sense 1, 7)? No.
    *   Is it the dog pound (sense 3)? No.
    *   Is it the person (sense 6)? No.
    *   Is it the action (sense 14)? No.

    *   The text says "multi-million pound fine" but then lists the amount in dollars and euros. This is a common occurrence in news reports where the headline or lead might use "pound" loosely or the writer is British, but the specific figures are provided in other currencies.
    *   Regardless, "pound" in the context of a "multi-million pound fine" refers to the currency.
    *   The most standard "pound" currency is the British pound sterling (sense 4).

    *   Sense 4: "the basic unit of money in Great Britain and Northern Ireland; equal to 100 pence | synonyms=British pound, British pound sterling, pound sterling, quid"
    *   This fits perfectly.

    *   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 various issues/troubles (sources of difficulty) the company is dealing with.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 ("state of difficulty") vs Sense 3 ("source of difficulty"). "Problems at home" usually refers to the specific issues (sources) rather than just the general state.
    *   The synonym "trouble" in Sense 3 aligns perfectly with the text's "Fresh trouble".

    *   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 parallels "trouble" with "problems".

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit because of the synonym "trouble" and the context of specific issues (uproar around the CEO) causing difficulty.

        2.  `dispute%1:04:00::`: coming into conflict with (synonyms: contravention).

    *   The sentence says Deutsche Bank is paying money to "settle disputes".
    *   "Settle disputes" typically refers to resolving disagreements, legal battles, or arguments over money/liability.
    *   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 rights or obligations.
    *   Sense 2: "coming into conflict with" (synonym: contravention). This is more about violating a rule or law (e.g., "in dispute with the law" - though usually "in contravention of"). It's an action/state of conflict rather than a noun representing the disagreement itself.

    *   The word "disputes" in "settle disputes" is a plural noun.
    *   Sense 1 is a noun ("a disagreement or argument").

    *   Sense 2: `bankruptcy%1:04:00::` - a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared to be insolvent.
    *   Sense 3: `bankruptcy%1:26:00::` - inability to discharge all your debts as they come due (synonym: failure).

    *   The context refers to "the bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis."
    *   This refers to the financial failure/insolvency of the credit unions.
    *   Sense 1 (abstract property) is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 2 (legal process) refers to the *process* of bankruptcy (like Chapter 11).
    *   Sense 3 (inability to discharge debts) refers to the *state* of being bankrupt or the *event* of failing financially.

    *   "disputes arising from the bankruptcy of five major credit unions"
    *   Does "bankruptcy" here mean the *legal process* (Sense 2) or the *financial failure* (Sense 3)?
    *   Usually, when talking about the "bankruptcy of [entities]," it refers to their financial collapse/failure. While the legal process often follows, the root cause of the disputes is the failure itself.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 3: "the company had to declare bankruptcy; fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks." This matches the context of credit unions failing during a financial crisis.
    *   Sense 2 is more about the specific legal mechanism of distributing assets. Sense 3 is the broader state of insolvency/failure.
    *   In the phrase "bankruptcy of five major credit unions," it most naturally refers to their financial failure.

    *   Sense 2: Legal process.
    *   Sense 3: Inability to pay debts / failure.
    *   The context "bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis" aligns best with the concept of financial failure (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: Possible, but Sense 3 is more general and fits "failure of many banks" example.
    *   Sense 3: Yes.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2: "a legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors..."
    *   And Sense 3: "inability to discharge all your debts as they come due".
    *   The "bankruptcy of five major credit unions" refers to the fact that they went bankrupt (failed). This is the state of insolvency.

    *   Let's check the examples again.
    *   Sense 3: "fraudulent loans led to the failure of many banks".
    *   Context: "bankruptcy of five major credit unions during the financial crisis".
    *   This is a very close match.

    *   Comparing 3 and 8: Sense 3 specifically mentions "in dispute" and "must be settled," which perfectly matches "resolved the issue without the parties going to court." Sense 8 is more general (topic/subject).

    *   The context is a legal dispute being settled.
    *   Sense 3 is the most precise fit.

Target surface form: New York
Context:
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 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 <t>New York</t>. The bank did not admit culpability in the settlement.
