Target lemma: respondent
Target surface form: respondents
Context:
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 problem 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. A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising support for private enterprise and the market economy: some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for development, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies. Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of <t>respondents</t> (up from 18% last year), followed by the United States (9%, unchanged from last year) and Venezuela (9%, down from 11% last year). But the United States is seen as the most influential country by respondents in Mexico and much of Central America, whereas Venezuela enjoys that distinction in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

    *   In the context of a poll or survey, a "respondent" is a person who answers the questions.

    *   Sense 1: "someone who responds" (fits perfectly with poll participants).
    *   Sense 2: "the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding)..." (completely irrelevant to polls and Latin American socio-economics).

    *   The correct sense is Sense 1.

    *   Candidate senses:

        2.  `united_states%1:15:00::`: The North American republic (the country/nation).

    *   The sentence compares the "United States" to "Brazil" and "Venezuela".
    *   Brazil and Venezuela are mentioned as "countries" ("Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership...").
    *   The context discusses leadership and influence in a region (Latin America) by these entities.
    *   While "leadership" and "influence" can be exercised by governments, the parallel structure ("Brazil is the country... followed by the United States... and Venezuela") strongly suggests that the United States is being referred to as a country/nation in this list.

    *   Sense 1: Government.
    *   Sense 2: Country/Republic.
    *   Since it's listed alongside other countries (Brazil, Venezuela) and referred to in the context of being an "influential country", Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

    *   The target is "United States".
    *   It is compared to Brazil and Venezuela.
    *   It is explicitly called an "influential country" in the next sentence.
    *   Therefore, it refers to the nation/republic, not specifically the federal government branches.

    *   The sentence discusses the "most influential country," referring to the United States, Brazil, and Venezuela.
    *   Influence is typically attributed to the political entity (the state/government/nation as a political actor) rather than just the physical land (territory) or the people themselves (though they are related).
    *   Comparing "United States," "Brazil," and "Venezuela" as "influential countries" strongly suggests the political entity sense.

    *   Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (Synonyms: state, nation). This fits perfectly with "influential country" in a geopolitical context.
    *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" (Synonyms: state, land). While the US is a territory, "influence" is a property of the political entity, not the soil.
    *   Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" (Synonyms: nation, land). Again, influence is usually attributed to the state/government.
    *   Sense 4: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary". Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 5: "an area outside of cities and towns". Not applicable here.

    *   "Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership..."
    *   "the United States is seen as the most influential country..."
    *   This clearly points to the political organization (Sense 1).

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. A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising support for private enterprise and the market economy: some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for development, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies. Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of respondents (up from 18% last year), followed by the United States (9%, unchanged from last year) and Venezuela (9%, down from 11% last year). But the United States is seen as the most influential country by <t>respondents</t> in Mexico and much of Central America, whereas Venezuela enjoys that distinction in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

*   Target word: "distinction"
    *   Context: "...the United States is seen as the most influential country by respondents in Mexico and much of Central America, whereas Venezuela enjoys that <t>distinction</t> in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua."
    *   Meaning in context: "distinction" refers to the status or quality of being "the most influential country."

    *   Sense 1: "high status importance owing to marked superiority" (eminence, preeminence).
    *   Sense 2: "a distinguishing quality" (e.g., "the distinction of being the cheapest restaurant in town").
    *   Sense 3: "a distinguishing difference" (e.g., "distinction between gold and lead").
    *   Sense 4: "a discrimination between things as different and distinct" (differentiation).

    *   The sentence says the US is the most influential in some places, while Venezuela enjoys *that distinction* (being the most influential) in others.
    *   Is it a "distinguishing difference" (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Is it "discrimination between things" (Sense 4)? No.
    *   Is it "high status importance owing to marked superiority" (Sense 1)? It's close, but "most influential" is a specific quality/status.
    *   Is it "a distinguishing quality" (Sense 2)? The example "the distinction of being the cheapest restaurant in town" perfectly matches the structure "the distinction of being the most influential country."

    *   Sense 1 (eminence) usually refers to a person's reputation or a general state of being eminent.
    *   Sense 2 (distinguishing quality) is often used for a specific characteristic or title that sets someone/something apart, whether positive, negative, or neutral (like "cheapest").
    *   In the context "enjoys that distinction," it refers back to the quality of being "the most influential country." This fits Sense 2's pattern ("the distinction of being...").

    *   Sense 1: high status/eminence.
    *   Sense 2: a distinguishing quality.
    *   The phrase "enjoys that distinction" is a common idiom meaning "has that particular characteristic/status."

    *   Sense 2: "a distinguishing quality" -> Example: "it has the distinction of being the cheapest restaurant in town."
    *   Context: "the United States is seen as the most influential country... whereas Venezuela enjoys that distinction..."
    *   The "distinction" here is "being the most influential country." This is a distinguishing quality/status.

    *   Sense 1 is more about the *state* of being eminent.
    *   Sense 2 is about the *specific quality* that makes one distinct.
    *   "That distinction" refers back to the specific quality of being the most influential.

    *   Sense 1: eminence, preeminence.
    *   Sense 2: distinguishing quality.
    *   If the text said "Venezuela's distinction is well known," it might be Sense 1. But "enjoys that distinction" (referring to a specific attribute mentioned previously) strongly points to Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: high status importance owing to marked superiority.
    *   Sense 2: a distinguishing quality.
    *   "Most influential" is a form of superiority/status. However, the grammatical structure "enjoys that distinction" (referring to a specific attribute) is the classic usage of Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: "a scholar of great eminence" (distinction as a quality of the person).
    *   Sense 2: "the distinction of being the cheapest restaurant" (distinction as the specific fact/quality).
    *   Context: "the most influential country... enjoys that distinction."
    *   This matches Sense 2's pattern exactly.

*   Target lemma: "day"
    *   Target surface form: "day"
    *   Context: "The <t>day</t> the Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama's healthcare law..."
    *   Further context: "The occasion was last Thursday..."

    *   Sense 1: Recurring hours when not sleeping/working (e.g., "busy day").
    *   Sense 2: Era of existence (e.g., "day of the dinosaurs").
    *   Sense 3: Period of opportunity (e.g., "day in court").
    *   Sense 4: Day assigned to a particular purpose (e.g., "Mother's Day").
    *   Sense 5: Daytime (sunrise to sunset).
    *   Sense 6: Planetary rotation (e.g., "day on Jupiter").
    *   Sense 7: Some point or period in time (e.g., "after that day she never trusted him again").
    *   Sense 8: 24-hour period (e.g., "two days later").
    *   Sense 9: Sidereal day.
    *   Sense 10: Clarence Day (person).

    *   The sentence says "The day the Supreme Court gathered...".
    *   It refers to a specific date/point in time ("The occasion was last Thursday").
    *   It's not referring to the 24-hour duration (Sense 8), nor the daylight hours (Sense 5), nor an era (Sense 2), nor a holiday (Sense 4), nor a period of opportunity (Sense 3).
    *   It refers to a specific calendar date or a particular point in time when an event occurred.

    *   Sense 7: "some point or period in time" (Example: "after that day she never trusted him again").
    *   Sense 8: "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" (Example: "two days later they left").

    Wait, let's look closer at Sense 7 vs Sense 8.
    Sense 8 is often used for counting or duration (24-hour periods).
    Sense 7 is used for a specific date or point in time.
    "The day the Supreme Court gathered..." refers to a specific date (which is later identified as "last Thursday").

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 7: "some point or period in time" (Example: "after that day she never trusted him again"). This fits perfectly for referring to a specific date on which something happened.

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: No.
    *   Sense 3: No.
    *   Sense 4: No.
    *   Sense 5: No.
    *   Sense 6: No.
    *   Sense 7: Yes (specific point in time).
    *   Sense 8: No (not referring to the 24-hour duration).
    *   Sense 9: No.
    *   Sense 10: No.

    "The day the Supreme Court gathered..." -> "That specific date/point in time when the event occurred." This aligns with Sense 7.

        3.  `conference%1:10:00::`: a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic (synonym: group discussion)

    *   The context describes the Supreme Court justices meeting "behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama's healthcare law."
    *   Specifically, "all nine justices met for a conference to pour over the petitions for review."
    *   In the legal context of the US Supreme Court, a "conference" is a formal, prearranged meeting where the justices discuss cases and vote on whether to grant certiorari (review petitions).

    *   Sense 2 (sports league) is clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 3 (group discussion) is a general discussion.
    *   Sense 1 (prearranged meeting for consultation/exchange of information/discussion, especially with a formal agenda) fits the description of a Supreme Court conference perfectly. It is a formal, scheduled meeting with a specific agenda (reviewing petitions).

    *   Sense 1 is more specific to the *event* of the meeting (the "prearranged meeting"), whereas Sense 3 is more about the *act* of discussion. The sentence says they "met for a conference," which points to the meeting itself.

    *   Sense 1: "a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)"
    *   Sense 3: "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic"
    *   The Supreme Court conference is a formal, scheduled event. Sense 1 captures the "prearranged meeting" and "formal agenda" aspects better than Sense 3.
