Target lemma: country
Target surface form: countries
Context:
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 year 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. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, 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).

    *   Context: "...Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>..."
    *   Surrounding context: Discussion about Latin America, democracy, support for democracy in Peru, Mexico, and Brazil.

    *   Sense 1: `country%1:15:02` - geographical region of indefinite boundary (e.g., mountainous area).
    *   Sense 2: `country%1:15:00` - territory occupied by a nation (e.g., European countries).
    *   Sense 3: `country%1:15:01` - area outside cities/towns (rural area).
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:14:00` - politically organized body of people under a single government (e.g., African nations).
    *   Sense 5: `country%1:14:01` - the people who live in a nation or country (e.g., the nation's mood).

    *   The sentence refers to Mexico and Brazil as "populous countries".
    *   "Populous" refers to the number of people living there.
    *   Mexico and Brazil are sovereign states/nations.
    *   Sense 2 refers to the *territory* occupied by a nation.
    *   Sense 4 refers to the *politically organized body* (the state/nation).
    *   Sense 5 refers to the *people* themselves.

    *   When we say "populous countries", are we referring to the territory (Sense 2), the political entity (Sense 4), or the people (Sense 5)?
    *   Usually, "country" in the sense of a sovereign state is represented by either Sense 2 (territory) or Sense 4 (political entity).
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "he visited several European countries" (territory/geographic entity).
        *   Sense 4: "African nations" (political entity).
    *   In the context of "populous countries", it's referring to the sovereign states of Mexico and Brazil.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4:
        *   Sense 2: territory occupied by a nation.
        *   Sense 4: politically organized body of people under a single government.
    *   Often, "country" is used interchangeably for both. However, "populous" describes the population within the political entity.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries... Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries".
    *   Democracy is a system of government, which relates more strongly to the "politically organized body" (Sense 4) than just the "territory" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: territory occupied by a nation.
    *   Sense 4: politically organized body of people under a single government.
    *   In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "country" meaning a sovereign state is often mapped to the political entity sense when discussing government, politics, or population statistics.
    *   Example for Sense 4: "African nations".
    *   Example for Sense 2: "European countries".
    *   Wait, "European countries" (Sense 2) and "African nations" (Sense 4) are very similar.
    *   Let's re-read:
        *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation"
        *   Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
    *   "Populous" refers to the people. "Democracy" refers to the government.
    *   Sense 4 explicitly mentions "politically organized body of people under a single government". This fits the context of "democracy" and "populous" perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: No (not indefinite boundary).
    *   Sense 3: No (not rural).
    *   Sense 5: No (not just the people, but the entity).
    *   Sense 2 vs 4: Sense 4 is the political entity; Sense 2 is the physical territory. "Populous" and "democracy" point toward the political entity.

    *   Sense 4: `country%1:14:00`
    *   Sense 2: `country%1:15:00`
    *   In the context of "populous countries" and "democracy", Sense 4 (politically organized body) is the most precise fit.

    *   Wait, let me double-check the WordNet hierarchy.
    *   `country%1:14:00` (politically organized body) -> `state` -> `political entity`.
    *   `country%1:15:00` (territory occupied by a nation) -> `land` -> `geographic region`.
    *   Mexico and Brazil are political entities.

    *   Sense 1: geographical region (indefinite)
    *   Sense 2: territory occupied by a nation
    *   Sense 3: rural area
    *   Sense 4: politically organized body
    *   Sense 5: people who live in a nation

    *   "populous countries" -> refers to the nations as political entities.
    *   "support for democracy" -> refers to the political system.
    *   Sense 4 is the best fit.

    *   The sentence "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil... are convinced <t>democrats</t>" refers to people who believe in or advocate for democratic principles, not members of a specific political party called the "Democratic Party" (which is a US-centric term in this context).

    *   Sense 1: Member of the Democratic Party. (Incorrect context)
    *   Sense 2: Advocate of democratic principles. (Correct context)

    *   The target word "democrats" in this context means people who support the system of democracy. This aligns perfectly with sense 2.

    *   Sense 5: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
    *   This fits perfectly with "democracy", "Congress", and "government".

    *   Sense 1 (Doctrine/Majority Rule): Too narrow.
    *   Sense 2 (Political System): Fits perfectly. "How their country's [political system] works in practice."
    *   Sense 3 (Political Orientation): This refers to the *belief* or *preference* for democracy, not the system itself. While the text mentions "attitudes towards democracy" (which could be Sense 3), the specific target word is in the phrase "how their country's democracy works in practice", which refers to the system.

    *   The target word is "democracy" in "how their country's democracy works in practice".
    *   This is clearly referring to the political system of the country.
    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

Context:
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 year 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. 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 <t>figure</t> 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).

    *   The sentence is about public opinion polls regarding trust/belief in political institutions (Congress and government).
    *   "had confidence in their country's Congress"
    *   This is a measure of public trust or belief in the effectiveness/integrity of these institutions.

    *   Sense 1: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)". This fits well.
    *   Sense 2: "a trustful relationship". This is usually used in phrases like "take someone into one's confidence". Not a fit.
    *   Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable". Example: "public confidence in the economy". This is very close. Public confidence in a government often relates to the belief that the government will perform well or is trustworthy.
    *   Sense 4: "a secret". Not a fit.
    *   Sense 5: "belief in yourself and your abilities". Not a fit.

    *   Sense 1 is a general "feeling of trust".
    *   Sense 3 is "confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" (often used for economic or systemic confidence).
    *   Looking at the context: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress". This is about trust in the institution.
    *   Comparing "trust in someone/something" (Sense 1) vs "hopefulness that events will be favorable" (Sense 3).
    *   Usually, "confidence in government" is treated as trust in the ability or integrity of the government.
    *   Let's look at the example for Sense 3: "public confidence in the economy". This is very similar to "confidence in their country's Congress".
    *   However, Sense 1's example "I have confidence in our team" is also very similar.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable".
    *   Is "confidence in Congress" more about *trust* (Sense 1) or *hopefulness that things will go well* (Sense 3)?
    *   In political science and polling, "confidence in institutions" typically refers to trust/faith in those institutions.
    *   Sense 1 is the most direct definition of "trust". Sense 3 is more about optimism/expectation of success.
    *   Wait, let's look at the WordNet hierarchy if possible (mentally). Sense 1 is the general sense of trust. Sense 3 is specifically about the *future* or *outcomes* (hopefulness).
    *   "Confidence in Congress" usually means "I trust Congress to do its job" or "I believe in the legitimacy/integrity of Congress". This aligns better with Sense 1.
    *   However, "public confidence" (as in Sense 3's example) is a very common collocation for this exact scenario.
    *   Let's check the nuances again.
        *   Sense 1: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)"
        *   Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable"
    *   If I say "I have confidence in the doctor," I trust the doctor (Sense 1).
    *   If I say "Consumer confidence is low," I mean people are not hopeful about the economy (Sense 3).
    *   "Confidence in Congress" is more like "trust in the doctor" than "consumer confidence". It's about the entity itself.

    *   Sense 1: Trust in someone/something.
    *   Sense 3: Hopefulness about the future/outcomes.
    *   The context is about support for democracy and satisfaction with how it works. "Confidence in Congress" here means trust in the institution.

    *   Sense 1: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" -> "I have confidence in our team"
    *   Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" -> "public confidence in the economy"
    *   "Confidence in Congress" is very similar to "confidence in our team" (trusting the group to perform/be honest).

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate for "trust in an institution".

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again. "public confidence in the economy". Is "confidence in Congress" more like "confidence in the economy"?
    *   Actually, "confidence in the economy" is often about whether the economy will grow (hopefulness). "Confidence in Congress" is usually about whether Congress is doing a good job or is trustworthy.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the better fit.

    *   Sense 1: trust in someone/something.
    *   Sense 3: hopefulness about outcomes.

Target lemma: country
Target surface form: country
Context:
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 year 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. 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 <t>country</t>'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.

    *   Sense 5: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" -> Fits perfectly with "Congress" and "government".

    *   People have confidence in the *people/organization* running the country.

    *   Sense 3 (study): Clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (act of governing): While "administration" is a synonym, the context of "confidence in their [organization]" (parallel to Congress) strongly points to the entity rather than the process.

    *   The target word "government" is paired with "Congress". Both are political entities/organizations.
    *   Sense 2: "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit". This matches.

    *   The sentence discusses confidence levels in two different entities: "country's Congress" and "their government".
    *   It says the figures (34% and 45%) were "the same as last year in both cases".
    *   Here, "both cases" refers to the two specific instances or examples being discussed: (1) confidence in Congress and (2) confidence in government.

    In the context "the same as last year in both cases", "cases" refers to the two specific instances/examples being compared (confidence in Congress and confidence in government). This aligns best with "instance" or "example" (Sense 17).

    *   "the same as last year in both instances"
    *   "the same as last year in both examples"
    *   "the same as last year in both events" (Sense 12) - "Events" doesn't fit as well as "instances".

    Sense 17 is the most appropriate for "instances" or "examples" of a situation.

Target surface form: decade
Context:
For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year 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. 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 <t>decade</t> 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.

Target lemma: woe
Target surface form: woes
Context:
For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year 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. 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 <t>woes</t> 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.

*   Target word: "support"
    *   Context: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined <t>support</t> for democracy."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses percentages of people who favor democracy, confidence in government, and how economic growth affects these views.

    *   1: Bearing weight/strengthening (physical).
    *   2: Military operation.
    *   3: Financial resources for a project.
    *   4: Device bearing weight.

    *   10: Aiding the cause or policy or interests of (Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party").
    *   11: Providing for/maintaining (money/necessities).

    *   The context is "support for democracy."
    *   This refers to public approval, backing, or adherence to the idea/system of democracy.
    *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (Example: "the policy found little public support").
    *   Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party").

    *   Sense 5 is a noun ("something providing...").
    *   Sense 10 is listed as "aiding the cause..." which looks like a gerund or a definition of the act of supporting. Let's look closer at the WordNet structure if possible, but based on the provided text:
        *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
        *   Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    *   In the sentence "undermined support for democracy," "support" is a noun.
    *   Sense 5's example "the policy found little public support" is almost identical in usage to "support for democracy."
    *   Sense 10's example "the president no longer has the support of his own party" also fits.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of". This sounds more like the *act* of supporting.
    *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest".
    *   Actually, looking at WordNet (mentally), "support" as in "public support" usually falls under the sense of approval or backing.
    *   Let's compare Sense 5 and Sense 10 again.
        *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (Example: "the policy found little public support").
        *   Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (Example: "the president no longer has the support of his own party").
    *   Both are very similar. However, "support for democracy" is a general state of public approval.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 5: "the policy found little public support"
        *   Sense 10: "the president no longer has the support of his own party"
    *   "Support for democracy" is more like "public support" (Sense 5) than "the support of his own party" (which is more about loyalty/allegiance, though still very close).
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, Sense 10 (aiding the cause) and Sense 5 (immaterial assistance) are very close. Let's re-evaluate.
    *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
    *   Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    *   Wait, "aiding the cause" is an action. "Something providing immaterial assistance" is the thing itself.
    *   "Undermined support" -> undermined the *existence* of that backing.
    *   Let's look at the examples again. "the policy found little public support" (Sense 5). This is a perfect match for "support for democracy."

    *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
    *   Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, Sense 5's example "the policy found little public support" is almost a direct parallel to "support for democracy."

    *   Sense 1: Physical weight. (No)
    *   Sense 2: Military. (No)
    *   Sense 3: Financial project. (No)
    *   Sense 4: Physical device. (No)
    *   Sense 5: Immaterial assistance/public support. (Yes)
    *   Sense 6: Music. (No)
    *   Sense 7: Documentation. (No)
    *   Sense 8: Livelihood. (No)
    *   Sense 9: Physical structure. (No)
    *   Sense 10: Aiding a cause/party support. (Possible, but Sense 5 is slightly better)
    *   Sense 11: Providing necessities. (No)

    *   Sense 5: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest"
    *   Sense 10: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of"
    *   Looking at the phrasing "aiding the cause...", it sounds like a definition for the verb "support" or the gerund "supporting". But the target is the noun "support".
    *   Sense 5 is explicitly "something providing...", which is a noun definition.
    *   Therefore, Sense 5 is the most linguistically accurate noun sense for "public support for democracy."
