Target lemma: life
Target surface form: life
Context:
"But arsenic is different enough that it doesn't work as well as phosphorus, so it gets in there and sort of gums up the works of our biochemical machinery," explained Anbar. The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common. Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work. Arsenic was more common in the early times on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it. "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form life, not just how <t>life</t> formed on early Earth," said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team. The research was supported by NASA, the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.

    *   Context: "...there could be other ways to form life, not just how <t>life</t> formed on early Earth..."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses bacteria (GFAJ-1), arsenic vs. phosphorus, biochemical machinery, "life form using arsenic," "early life forms," and "ways to form life."

    *   1: animation and energy (liveliness) - No.
    *   2: account of events (biography) - No.
    *   3: motive for living - No.
    *   4: prison term - No.

    *   9: period between birth and present - No.
    *   10: experience of being alive/human events - No.
    *   11: period from present until death - No.
    *   12: living things collectively (e.g., "oceans are teeming with life") - This is very close to sense 8.
    *   13: period during which something is functional (lifespan) - No.
    *   14: the condition of living or the state of being alive - This is also close.

    *   The sentence is: "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth."
    *   The discussion is about the *origin* of life (abiogenesis) and the *nature* of life (biochemical basis).
    *   Sense 8: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" (Example: "there is no life on the moon").
    *   Sense 12: "living things collectively" (Example: "the oceans are teeming with life").
    *   Sense 14: "the condition of living or the state of being alive" (Example: "life depends on many chemical and physical processes").

    *   "Ways to form life" refers to the process of creating the organic phenomenon of life.
    *   "How life formed on early Earth" refers to the emergence of the organic phenomenon.
    *   Sense 8 specifically addresses the distinction between living and nonliving, which is the core of the discussion about biochemical machinery and "life forms."
    *   Sense 12 is more about the *population* of living things.
    *   Sense 14 is more about the *state* of being alive.

    *   The context is about the biological/chemical definition of life and its emergence. Sense 8 ("the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones") is the most precise fit for the scientific context of abiogenesis and extraterrestrial life.

    *   Sense 8: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones"
    *   Context: "ways to form life", "how life formed on early Earth".
    *   This matches perfectly.

    Sense 7: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    Sense 10: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"

    Example for 7: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    Example for 10: "the policy found little public support"

    Both are very similar. However, "Support for democracy" is very similar to "public support" (Sense 10). "Support of his own party" (Sense 7) is also similar.

    Let's look at the WordNet hierarchy if possible (mentally).
    Sense 7 (support%1:04:00) is often the act of supporting.
    Sense 10 (support%1:09:00) is often the state of being supported or the approval itself.

    In "Support for democracy... continues to edge up", "support" refers to the level of approval/backing.

    Let's re-examine the examples:
    Sense 7: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    Sense 10: "the policy found little public support"

    Actually, "Support for democracy" is almost identical to "public support".

    Let's check the synonyms for Sense 7: (none listed in the prompt).
    Let's check the synonyms for Sense 10: (none listed in the prompt).

    Wait, looking at the provided candidate senses again:
    Sense 7: `support%1:04:00`
    Sense 10: `support%1:09:00`

    In many WordNet versions:
    `support%1:04:00` is the act of supporting.
    `support%1:09:00` is the thing that provides support (immaterial).

    "Support for democracy" is the immaterial assistance/approval.

    Let's compare:
    "The support of his own party" (Sense 7)
    "Public support" (Sense 10)

    "Support for democracy" is very similar to "public support".

    Let's double-check Sense 7 again: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of".
    Let's double-check Sense 10 again: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".

    If "Support" is "edging up", it's referring to the *amount* of support (the immaterial assistance/approval).

    Sense 10 seems slightly more precise for "public support" or "support for [an idea/system]".

    Let's re-read the context: "The democratic routine Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise." (Note: "The democratic routine" seems like a typo in the prompt's context, but the core is "Support for democracy... continues to edge up").

    Comparing Sense 7 and 10 again:
    7: aiding the cause...
    10: something providing immaterial assistance...

    "Support for democracy" = the immaterial assistance/approval provided by the people.

    Let's look at the examples again.
    7: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    10: "the policy found little public support"

    "Support for democracy" is almost exactly like "public support".

    Therefore, Sense 10 is the best fit.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `backing%1:04:00::`: the act of providing approval and support (synonyms: backup, championship, patronage).
        2.  `backing%1:06:00::`: something forming a back that is added for strengthening (synonyms: mount).

    *   The sentence says: "Support for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise."
    *   The structure "Support for X... as does backing for Y" suggests that "backing" is being used in a similar way to "support".
    *   "Backing for private enterprise" refers to general approval, support, or endorsement of the concept of private enterprise, rather than specifically financial funding for a specific project.

    *   Sense 1: "the act of providing approval and support". This fits well with "support for democracy".
    *   Sense 2: "something forming a back... for strengthening". This is a physical backing (like on a carpet or a painting). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: "financial resources provided to make some project possible". While "backing" can mean financial support, the context "backing for private enterprise" in a sentence about "support for democracy" suggests a broader social/political approval or support rather than specific funding for a project.

    *   In the context of "private enterprise" as a general economic system (similar to "democracy" as a political system), "backing" means general support or approval.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 4: "the territory occupied by a nation" (Synonyms: state, land).
    *   In the context of "taken in 18 countries", it usually refers to the political entities (Sense 3) or the geographical areas (Sense 4).
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 3: "African nations"
        *   Sense 4: "visited several European countries"
    *   "Taken in 18 countries" is very similar to "visited several European countries". However, "countries" in the context of a poll usually refers to the sovereign states (the political entities).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 3 vs Sense 4.
        *   Sense 3 (country%1:14:00) is the "politically organized body".
        *   Sense 4 (country%1:15:00) is the "territory".
    *   Usually, when we say "a poll in X countries", we mean the political entities.
    *   Comparing "African nations" (Sense 3) and "European countries" (Sense 4).
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-based tasks, "country" as a sovereign state is mapped to Sense 3 (the political entity) when referring to the nation as a whole, and Sense 4 when referring to the land.
    *   Wait, let's look at the synonyms again.
        *   Sense 3: state, nation, land, commonwealth...
        *   Sense 4: state, land...
    *   "Taken in 18 countries" implies the political units.
    *   Let's check the examples again. "African nations" (Sense 3) vs "visited several European countries" (Sense 4).
    *   If I say "I visited 18 countries", I'm visiting the territory. If I say "a poll was taken in 18 countries", it's conducted within the political jurisdictions.
    *   Actually, Sense 3 is often the preferred sense for "country" meaning "sovereign state".

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00` (politically organized body)
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00` (territory)
    *   In the context of a poll, it's about the political entities. "18 countries" = 18 sovereign states.
    *   Let's look at the provided examples again. "African nations" (Sense 3) is a very close match to "18 countries" (meaning 18 nations).

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   If the context is "taken in 18 countries", it refers to the political entities. Sense 3 is the most comprehensive definition for a sovereign state.

    *   Sense 1: Rural (No)
    *   Sense 2: People (No)
    *   Sense 3: Political body (Yes)
    *   Sense 4: Territory (Possible, but Sense 3 is more fundamental for "nation")
    *   Sense 5: Region (No)

    *   Sense 3 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    *   Sense 4 is "the territory occupied by a nation".
    *   A poll is conducted *in* a country. This "in" can be spatial (territory) or jurisdictional (political body). However, "18 countries" almost always refers to the political entities.

    *   Sense 3: state, nation, land, commonwealth...
    *   Sense 4: state, land...
    *   Sense 3 is the broader, more common sense for "country" as a sovereign state.

    *   Sense 3: "African nations"
    *   Sense 4: "visited several European countries"
    *   "18 countries" in a poll is more like "African nations" (the entities) than "visited several European countries" (the travel destination/territory), although they are very close. In linguistic disambiguation for WordNet, the "political entity" sense (Sense 3) is typically used for "country" when it means a sovereign state.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   Wait, let me double-check. If the poll is "taken in" the countries, it's happening *within* the territory. But the "countries" themselves are the political entities.
    *   Let's look at the examples again. "African nations" (Sense 3). "European countries" (Sense 4).
    *   This is a subtle distinction. Let's think about "18 countries". It's a count of sovereign states.
    *   Sense 3: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    *   Sense 4: "the territory occupied by a nation".
    *   Usually, "country" meaning "sovereign state" is Sense 3.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   If I have to choose one, Sense 3 is the more standard definition for a sovereign state.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   Actually, looking at the examples again: "visited several European countries" (Sense 4). "African nations" (Sense 3).
    *   "Taken in 18 countries" is very similar to "visited several European countries".
    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 3: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    *   Sense 4: "the territory occupied by a nation".
    *   If you are *in* a country, you are in its territory.
    *   However, the *count* (18 countries) refers to the political entities.
    *   Let's try Sense 3. (Most WSD datasets map "country" as a sovereign state to the political entity sense).

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   Let's search for "poll taken in countries". It's referring to the nations.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: state, nation, land, commonwealth.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: state, land.
    *   Sense 3 is more comprehensive.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   If the context is "taken in 18 countries", it's referring to the political entities.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   Let's re-examine the examples one more time.
    *   Sense 3: "African nations"
    *   Sense 4: "visited several European countries"
    *   "18 countries" is almost identical in structure to "several European countries".
    *   Wait, if "visited several European countries" is Sense 4, then "taken in 18 countries" might also be Sense 4.
    *   Let's think. "Visited" implies going to the territory. "Taken in" (a poll) also implies the location (territory).
    *   But "African nations" (Sense 3) refers to the entities.
    *   This is very close. Let's look at the definitions again.
    *   Sense 3: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
    *   Sense 4: "the territory occupied by a nation"
    *   A poll is conducted among the *people* (Sense 3) within the *territory* (Sense 4).
    *   However, the most common sense for "country" in this context is the sovereign state.
    *   Let's go with Sense 3. (Actually, in many WordNet versions, Sense 3 is the primary sense for "country" as a nation).

    *   Wait, I just noticed Sense 3's example is "African nations" and Sense 4's example is "visited several European countries".
    *   If the phrase is "taken in 18 countries", it's more like "visited several European countries" (Sense 4) than "African nations" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's re-evaluate. "In 18 countries" (location) vs "18 countries" (entities).
    *   The "in" suggests the territory.
    *   Let's try Sense 4.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00` (Political entity)
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00` (Territory)
    *   "Poll taken in 18 countries".
    *   If you say "The poll was taken in Brazil", you are referring to the territory of Brazil.
    *   If you say "Brazil is a country", you are referring to the political entity.
    *   "Taken in 18 countries" -> "Taken in [the territory of] 18 countries".
    *   This points toward Sense 4.

    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:00`
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 3: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic.
    *   Sense 4: state, land.
    *   Both have "state".
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 3: "the state has elected a new president; African nations"
    *   Sense 4: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries"
    *   "Taken in 18 countries" is very similar to "visited several European countries".

    *   Sense 4 seems more likely because of the "in" and the "visited several European countries" example.

    *   The sentence says the poll "tracks changes in attitude".
    *   Is it tracking the *result* of the alteration (Sense 3) or the *event* of the alteration (Sense 5)?
    *   In the context of polling and data tracking over time, "changes in attitude" usually refers to the shifts or modifications that have occurred.
    *   Looking at Sense 3's example: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs". This describes a state that has been altered.
    *   Looking at Sense 5's example: "the change was intended to increase sales". This describes the act/event of changing.
    *   "Tracks changes in attitude" refers to the modifications/alterations observed in the data. This aligns more closely with Sense 3 (the result/manifestation of the alteration) or Sense 5 (the alteration itself).
    *   Wait, let's re-read Sense 3: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   Usually, "changes in [something]" (like attitude, temperature, climate) refers to the modifications themselves.
    *   Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 5:
        *   Sense 3: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs" (physical result).
        *   Sense 5: "the change was intended to increase sales" (the act of changing).
    *   Actually, "changes in attitude" are the modifications that have taken place.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the result of alteration or modification". If attitudes were X and are now Y, the "change" is the result.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "changes in [variable]" is mapped to the sense of "alteration/modification".
    *   Sense 3: "the result of alteration or modification".
    *   Sense 5: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   If I say "the poll tracks changes", it's tracking the modifications.
    *   Let's check Sense 3's other example: "there had been no change in the mountains". This means the state remained the same.
    *   "Changes in attitude" means the attitudes are different now than they were. This is the result of modification.

    *   Sense 3: result of alteration.
    *   Sense 5: event of passing from one state to another.
    *   "Tracks changes in attitude" -> The poll measures how attitudes have shifted. These shifts are the results of modification.
    *   Sense 3 seems more appropriate for "changes in [attribute/state]" (like "changes in the weather", "changes in the law", "changes in attitude").

    *   Sense 3: "the result of alteration or modification"
    *   Sense 5: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"
    *   If the poll tracks "changes", it's tracking the differences/modifications that have occurred over time.
    *   Example for Sense 3: "marked changes in the lining of the lungs".
    *   Example for Sense 5: "the change was intended to increase sales".
    *   "Changes in attitude" is much closer to "changes in the lining of the lungs" (a state that has been modified) than to "the change was intended to increase sales" (a specific action/event).

    *   Sense 3: result of alteration.
    *   Sense 5: event of passing from one state to another.
    *   In the context of "tracking changes in attitude", we are looking at the modifications that have occurred. This is the result of the process of changing.

    *   Sense 3: result of alteration or modification.
    *   Sense 5: an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another.
    *   "Changes in attitude" are the modifications themselves.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "there had been no change in the mountains". This fits perfectly with "no change in attitude".
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   The "things" refer to findings or observations from a poll.

    *   1: an event (e.g., "a funny thing happened") - Not an event.
    *   2: any attribute or quality (e.g., "the thing I like about her") - Not an attribute of a person/object.
    *   3: a special situation (e.g., "this thing has got to end") - Not a situation.
    *   4: an artifact (e.g., "how does this thing work?") - Not a physical object.
    *   5: a vaguely specified concern (synonyms: matter, affair) - "Two related matters stand out..." (Possible, but "matter" here usually means a topic of concern or a problem).
    *   6: an action (e.g., "how could you do such a thing?") - Not an action.
    *   7: a special abstraction (e.g., "things of the heart") - Not a spiritual/emotional abstraction.

    *   11: a statement regarded as an object (e.g., "to say the same thing") - The "things" are findings/results, which are essentially statements or facts derived from data.
    *   12: an entity that is not named specifically - Not quite.

    *   The sentence says: "Two related things stand out in the results... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    *   The "things" are the findings/results of the poll.
    *   Is it a "statement regarded as an object" (Sense 11)? The findings are presented as statements of fact.

    Let's look at the context again: "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 specific findings. A finding is a piece of information or a fact.

    Comparing Sense 5 (matter/affair) and Sense 11 (statement):
    "Two related matters stand out" vs "Two related statements stand out".
    Actually, "findings" are often referred to as "things" in a general sense.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 9 (separate and self-contained entity). In many WSD tasks, when "thing" is used to refer to an abstract concept, fact, or finding, it often falls under the most general sense (Sense 9) or a specific abstract sense.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 5 again: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair".
    "Two related matters stand out in the results..." This fits quite well.

    Let's look at Sense 11 again: "a statement regarded as an object".
    "Two related statements stand out..." This also fits, as the findings are expressed as statements.

    Let's look at Sense 9: "a separate and self-contained entity". This is the most basic definition of "thing".

    In the sentence "Two related things stand out in the results", "things" refers to the findings. Findings are abstract entities.

    Let's check other examples of "thing" meaning "fact" or "finding".
    Usually, "the thing is..." (Sense 10) or "one thing is..."
    If I say "One thing that is clear from the data is...", "thing" is often mapped to Sense 9 (entity) or Sense 5 (matter).

    Let's re-read Sense 5: "a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair".
    Is a poll finding a "concern"? Not necessarily. It's a result.

    Let's re-read Sense 11: "a statement regarded as an object".
    "The first [thing] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    Is "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" a statement? No, it's a fact or a condition.

    Let's re-read Sense 9: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    This is the broadest sense and often used for abstract entities like "findings".

    Let's double-check Sense 2: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence".
    "The first [thing] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    A "sunny mood" is an attribute or quality.
    "Two related things [attributes/qualities/findings] stand out..."
    This is a strong possibility.

    Wait, 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 "things" are the findings. The findings are:
    1. Latin America's sunny mood.
    2. (Presumably something else mentioned later).

    Is a "sunny mood" an attribute or quality? Yes.
    Is it a "separate and self-contained entity"? Yes, in a broad sense.

    Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 9.
    Sense 2: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence" (Example: "the thing I like about her is...").
    Sense 9: "a separate and self-contained entity".

    In "the thing I like about her is [her kindness]", "kindness" is an attribute.
    In "Two related things stand out... The first is [the mood]", "mood" is an attribute/quality of the region.

    This seems to fit Sense 2 very well.

    Let's check Sense 5 again: "a vaguely specified concern". "Matter" can mean "subject" or "topic". "Two related matters stand out". But "mood" isn't really a "matter" in the sense of a "concern".

    Let's check Sense 11 again: "a statement regarded as an object". "The first [statement] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." This doesn't fit as well because the mood itself isn't a statement; the *finding* that they have a sunny mood is the statement.

    Let's reconsider Sense 9. Sense 9 is the most generic. Often, if a more specific sense (like Sense 2 for attributes) fits, it's preferred.

    Let's look at Sense 2 again: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence".
    Example: "the thing I like about her is [her smile]".
    Context: "Two related things stand out... The first is [the mood]".
    The "thing" is the "mood". A mood is a quality/attribute.

    Wait, let me search for how "thing" is typically disambiguated in this context (findings/results).
    Often, "thing" in "one thing is..." or "two things stand out" is treated as Sense 9 (entity) unless it's clearly an attribute.

    Let's re-examine the "things" in the context:
    1. Latin America's fairly sunny mood.
    2. (Something else).

    Is "Latin America's sunny mood" an attribute? Yes.
    Is it a "thing" in the sense of a "matter" (Sense 5)?
    "Two related matters stand out in the results..." (This sounds natural).

    Let's look at Sense 5 synonyms: "matter, affair".
    "The matter at hand", "a matter of importance".
    "Two related matters stand out in the results".

    Let's look at Sense 9 again: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    This is the most basic definition.

    Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 9 again.
    Sense 2: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence".
    Sense 9: "a separate and self-contained entity".

    If the "thing" is a "finding", is a finding an attribute? No. A finding is a piece of information.
    Is a finding an entity? Yes.
    Is a finding a "matter"? Yes.

    Wait, the "thing" *is* the mood.
    "The first [thing] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    So the "thing" = "mood".
    A mood is an attribute or quality.

    Let's check Sense 2 again. "the thing I like about her is [her kindness]".
    "the thing that stands out is [the mood]".
    This matches the structure perfectly.

    Let's double-check Sense 5: "a vaguely specified concern".
    "The first [concern] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    That doesn't fit. A sunny mood is not a concern.

    Let's double-check Sense 11: "a statement regarded as an object".
    "The first [statement] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    Not quite.

    So it's between Sense 2 and Sense 9.
    Sense 2: attribute or quality.
    Sense 9: separate and self-contained entity.

    Since "mood" is a quality/attribute, Sense 2 is more specific and fits better than the generic Sense 9.

    Wait, let me think about this again.
    "Two related things stand out in the results..."
    The "things" are the *findings*.
    Finding 1: The mood is sunny.
    Finding 2: (Something else).

    Is a "finding" an attribute? No.
    Is the "thing" the *finding* or the *mood*?
    "The first [thing] is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    Here, "thing" is being equated with "Latin America's fairly sunny mood".
    "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" is a quality/attribute of Latin America.

    Therefore, Sense 2 ("any attribute or quality") is a very strong candidate.

    Let's just quickly check Sense 3: "a special situation".
    "Two related situations stand out... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    A mood isn't really a situation.

    Let's check Sense 12: "an entity that is not named specifically".
    "Two related [unnamed entities] stand out... The first is [the mood]."
    This is more about the *use* of the word "thing" as a placeholder, but Sense 2 describes *what* that placeholder is referring to in this specific case (an attribute).

    Let's re-verify Sense 2: "any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence".
    Example: "the thing I like about her is [her kindness]".
    Context: "Two related things stand out... The first is [the mood]".
    This is a very close match.

    One last look at Sense 9: "a separate and self-contained entity".
    If Sense 2 is too narrow, Sense 9 is the fallback. But "mood" fits "attribute or quality" very well.

    Wait, let me search for "thing" in the context of "one thing is...".
    Often, "the thing is..." is Sense 10 (objective/point). But "one thing is..." is different.
    "One thing that is certain is..." -> "thing" = "fact".
    Is "fact" an attribute? No.
    Is "fact" an entity? Yes.

    Is "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" a fact or an attribute?
    It's a fact *that* they have a sunny mood, and the mood *itself* is an attribute.
    The sentence says "The first [thing] is [the mood]".
    So the "thing" is the mood.

    Let's compare:
    A: "One thing that stands out is the mood." (Thing = mood = attribute)
    B: "One thing that stands out is that the mood is sunny." (Thing = the fact that the mood is sunny = entity/fact)

    In the provided text: "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    This matches structure A.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the most precise.

Context:
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 changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the <t>results</t> of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood.

Candidate senses:

    *   The context refers to the "results of this year's poll".
    *   Poll results are the data or outcomes gathered from a survey.
    *   Sense 1 (solution/answer to a problem) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 2 (semantic role) is a linguistic term and doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3 (consequence/effect) refers to a causal relationship (e.g., "the result of the crash was a traffic jam").
    *   Sense 4 (something that results/final result/outcome) specifically mentions "listening for the results on the radio," which is very similar to checking the results of a poll.

    *   Sense 3: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (consequence).
    *   Sense 4: "something that results" (outcome, final result).
    *   In the context of a poll, "results" are the findings or the data produced by the process of polling. While they are technically a "consequence" of the poll, in English, "poll results" typically refers to the outcome/data (Sense 4) rather than a causal consequence (Sense 3).
    *   Example for Sense 4: "he listened for the results on the radio" (likely election results or sports results). This matches "results of this year's poll" perfectly.

    *   Sense 4 is the best fit for the data/outcome of a poll.
