Context:
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 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 <t>countries</t> 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 sentence says "many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession".
    *   A "recession" is an economic event affecting a political entity (a state/nation).
    *   The context discusses governments, Congress, and democracy.
    *   Sense 5 refers to a "politically organized body of people under a single government" (state, nation).
    *   Sense 2 refers to the "territory occupied by a nation".
    *   While "countries" often refers to both territory and the political entity, in the context of suffering a recession, having a government, and being a "politically organized body," Sense 5 is the most precise fit for the political/economic entity.

    *   Sense 2 (territory) vs. Sense 5 (political entity).
    *   "Suffered a recession" applies to the political/economic entity (the state/nation) rather than just the physical land/territory.
    *   The text mentions "their country's democracy", "their country's Congress", and "their government". These all point toward the political organization (Sense 5).

    *   Sense 5: `country%1:14:00` - a politically organized body of people under a single government. Synonyms: state, nation.

    *   Sense 1: People (not the primary meaning here).

    *   The sentence discusses economic conditions: "brief recession" and "strong recovery".
    *   In an economic context, "recovery" refers to the process of returning to a previous state of growth or stability after a downturn (recession).

    *   Sense 1: "return to an original state". This fits the economic context (returning to pre-recession levels).
    *   Sense 2: "the act of regaining or saving something lost". This is more about retrieval (e.g., recovering a stolen car).
    *   Sense 3: "gradual healing... after sickness or injury". This is medical.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and fits the pattern of returning to a previous state (economic stability/growth) after a disruption (recession). While "original state" might seem slightly off for a growing economy, in WordNet's schematic glosses, this is the standard sense for economic recovery (returning to the trend or previous level).

    *   Sense 1: return to an original state.
    *   Sense 2: retrieval.
    *   Sense 3: convalescence.
    *   Economic recovery is a return to a previous state of health/growth. Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   The phrase is "reported this week".
    *   This refers to the time period in which the report was released.
    *   It is not referring to a "workweek" (sense 3).
    *   It is referring to the current seven-day period.
    *   While "this week" often aligns with a calendar week, in general usage, "this week" refers to the current seven-day cycle.
    *   Comparing sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days) and sense 2 (calendar week starting on Sunday).
    *   In most linguistic contexts for "this week", it refers to the current calendar week (sense 2) or just a general seven-day period (sense 1).
    *   However, WordNet's distinction between `week%1:28:00` (any 7 days) and `week%1:28:02` (calendar week) usually places "this week" or "last week" under the general concept of a week unless the specific start day (Sunday) is crucial.
    *   Wait, let's look at the definitions again.
        *   Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
        *   Sense 2: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday.
    *   "Reported this week" is a standard temporal reference. In common usage, "this week" refers to the current calendar week.
    *   However, in many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "week" in "this week" is often mapped to the most general sense (sense 1) unless the calendar aspect is explicitly highlighted.
    *   Let's re-evaluate. "This week" refers to the current seven-day period. Is it specifically the one starting on Sunday? Not necessarily (depends on the culture/country).
    *   Sense 1 is the most general and safest fit for a general time reference like "this week".

    *   Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
    *   Sense 2: calendar week (starting Sunday).
    *   Sense 3: workweek.
    *   "Reported this week" -> The report came out during the current seven-day period. This fits Sense 1 perfectly. Sense 2 is too specific (Sunday start). Sense 3 is incorrect.

    *   Sense 1 is the standard choice for "this week" in general contexts.

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 <t>mood</t> varies widely from country to country (see chart 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:

        3.  `mood%1:12:00::`: a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling (temper, humor).

    *   The sentence says "the mood varies widely from country to country".
    *   It refers to the general feeling or psychological state of populations within different countries (Brazil is mentioned as an example).
    *   This is a collective, societal feeling, not an individual's temper or a grammatical category.

    *   Sense 1 (linguistics) is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 3 (individual temper/humor) is for individuals ("he was in a bad humor").
    *   Sense 2 (prevailing psychological state/climate) fits perfectly. The example "the national mood had changed radically" is almost identical in usage to "the mood varies widely from country to country".

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

        *   Sense 1 focuses on the *land*.
        *   Sense 5 focuses on the *political entity* (the state).
    *   In the context of "economic performance," "support for democracy," and "government," the term "country" refers to the political entity (the state/nation).

    *   "The mood varies widely from country to country" refers to the differences between these political entities (Brazil, Argentina, etc.).

    *   Sense 5 (country%1:14:00) is the most fitting for a sovereign state/political entity.
    *   Sense 1 (country%1:15:00) is more about the physical territory.
    *   Sense 2 (country%1:14:01) is about the people.
    *   Sense 3 (country%1:15:02) is about a region.
    *   Sense 4 (country%1:15:01) is about rural areas.

    *   Sense 5: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (Synonyms: state, nation). This fits perfectly with the discussion of Congress, government, and democracy.

    *   Wait, let me re-read the candidate senses provided in the prompt.

Target lemma: progress
Target surface form: progress
Context:
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 chart 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 <t>progress</t>. That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened.

        2.  `crime%1:04:00::`: (criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act (synonyms: offense, criminal offense, etc.).

    *   The context mentions "violent crime", "most important problem facing their country", and "victims of crime".
    *   This clearly refers to illegal acts (criminal offenses) that are punishable by law, not metaphorical "crimes of the heart" or non-legal evil acts.

    *   Sense 1: Non-legal evil acts. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: Legal offenses/criminal acts. (Correct)

Context:
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 chart 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. That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened. For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important <t>problem</t> facing their country (see chart 5). Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995.

*   Target lemma: `problem`
    *   Target surface form: `problem`
    *   Context: "...more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country..."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `problem%1:26:00::`: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved (synonym: job).
        2.  `problem%1:10:00::`: a question raised for consideration or solution (e.g., homework problems).
        3.  `problem%1:09:00::`: a source of difficulty (synonym: trouble).

    *   The sentence discusses "crime" and "unemployment" as the most important "problem facing their country".
    *   Crime and unemployment are not "questions raised for consideration" (Sense 2).
    *   They are not exactly a "state of difficulty" in the sense of a personal struggle or a "job" (Sense 1).
    *   They are "sources of difficulty" or "troubles" affecting a population/country (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" (e.g., "she and her husband are having problems"). This often refers to a situation or a relationship.
    *   Sense 3: "a source of difficulty" (e.g., "one trouble after another delayed the job"). Crime and unemployment are sources of difficulty for a country.

    *   In the context of "the most important problem facing their country," the word "problem" refers to a societal issue or a source of trouble.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 is more about the *state* of being in difficulty, while Sense 3 is about the *source* of the difficulty. Crime and unemployment are the *sources* (the things causing the difficulty).

    *   Sense 1: state of difficulty.
    *   Sense 3: source of difficulty.
    *   "Crime" is the source of the difficulty. Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `country%1:15:01`: rural area (outside cities/towns).
        2.  `country%1:14:00`: politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation).
        3.  `country%1:15:02`: particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area).

        5.  `country%1:15:00`: the territory occupied by a nation (state, land).

    *   The sentence discusses respondents across Latin America citing problems facing their "country".
    *   The context mentions "Brazil's strong economic performance", "Mexico and Central America", and "polls".
    *   The "country" here refers to the political entity (the state/nation) that the respondents belong to (e.g., Brazil, Mexico).

    *   Sense 1 (rural area): Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 (politically organized body/state/nation): Fits well. The "problem facing their country" refers to the political/social entity.
    *   Sense 3 (geographical region of indefinite boundary): Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (the people who live in a nation): Possible, but "problem facing their country" usually refers to the state/nation as a whole (political/administrative entity) rather than just the population.
    *   Sense 5 (the territory occupied by a nation): Possible, but "problem facing their country" usually refers to the political entity (Sense 2) rather than just the physical land.

    *   Sense 2: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (synonyms: state, nation).
    *   Sense 4: "the people who live in a nation or country" (synonyms: nation, land).
    *   Sense 5: "the territory occupied by a nation" (synonyms: state, land).

    In the phrase "problem facing their country", "country" is most commonly used to mean the nation-state (the political entity). Sense 2 is the most comprehensive definition for a nation-state.

    *   Sense 2: "the state has elected a new president; African nations"
    *   Sense 4: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"
    *   Sense 5: "he visited several European countries"

    The context "problem facing their country" aligns best with the concept of the nation-state (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:14:01`
    *   Sense 5: `country%1:15:00`

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 5: Sense 2 is the political entity, Sense 5 is the physical territory. "Problems facing their country" (crime, unemployment) are problems of the political/social entity (Sense 2).

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4: Sense 2 is the entity, Sense 4 is the people. While crime affects people, it is typically described as a problem facing the country (the state/nation).

    Sense 2 is the most standard fit for "country" in the sense of a sovereign state.
