5.  **Evaluate Sense 1 against the Sentence:** "The increasing stability of attitudes..." (Does this fit "firm and steadfast"?) It could, but let's check the others.

6.  **Evaluate Sense 2 against the Sentence:** "a stable order (especially of society)." The sentence discusses the stability of *attitudes* towards democracy and institutions. While attitudes contribute to social order, the primary focus here is the state/condition of those attitudes, not necessarily the overall societal structure.

7.  **Evaluate Sense 3 against the Sentence:** "the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation." The sentence uses the modifier "increasing," suggesting a state that resists change or variation over time. This sense aligns well with the idea of attitudes being "free from change or variation."

8.  **Re-evaluate the Options (Focusing on the most precise fit):**
    *   The sentence is about the *state* of attitudes becoming more fixed/less variable.
    *   Sense 1 (firm and steadfast) is a general quality.
    *   Sense 3 (enduring and free from change or variation) specifically captures the idea of *stability* as resistance to change, which is strongly implied by "increasing stability."

9.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the most precise fit for the context of attitudes becoming less variable or changing.

    *   *Re-evaluation:* If the sentence were "South America is an important market...", Sense 2 would be correct. If the sentence were "The continent is located...", Sense 1 would be correct.
    *   The sentence is about countries *on the rim*. This is a geographical reference to the continent's location.

    *   Let's look at the provided definitions again:
        *   Sense 1: continent...
        *   Sense 2: nations... collectively.

    *   The sentence uses "South America" as a geographical region/continent. Therefore, Sense 1 is the primary meaning being employed.

7.  **Final Check:** The sentence is about countries located on the Pacific rim of the continent. This confirms the use of the geographical definition (Sense 1).

4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "year" (marked with `<t>year</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "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 <t>year>."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word:** The target word is "this year".

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "this year" in Context:**
    *   The sentence discusses economic growth (6% a year) and political changes (support for democracy).
    *   The phrase "to 61% this year" implies a comparison to the current time period or the current calendar year.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old. (Focuses on the duration/length of a year.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year. (Focuses on a specific segment/cycle within the calendar year.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days. (Focuses on orbital period.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97. (Irrelevant.)

6.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   "This year" refers to the current calendar year (the period of time we are currently living in).
    *   Sense 1 (duration/length) is relevant, but Sense 2 (a period occupying a regular part of a calendar year) is more specific to how we use the term "year" in common temporal references (e.g., "this year," "next year," "school year").

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage "this year" refers to the current calendar period. This aligns best with Sense 2. (Sense 1 is about the definition of a year itself, while Sense 2 is about a specific segment of the calendar year.)

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the system of production and distribution and consumption. (Matches the macroeconomic context of a country's performance/recovery.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the efficient use of resources | examples=economy of effort. (Focuses on efficiency/effort, less about the overall system/output recovery.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=frugality in the expenditure of money or resources | examples=the Scots are famous for their economy. (Focuses on saving/frugality, not the overall system recovery.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=an act of economizing; reduction in cost | examples=it was a small economy to walk to work every day. (Focuses on specific acts of saving/reducing cost, not the national system.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit because the sentence is discussing the recovery of a national economic system (output, production, distribution).

Which numbered sense of "democrat" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced <t>democrats</t>, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2).

Senses:
1. definition=a member of the Democratic Party
2. definition=an advocate of democratic principles

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "democrat" is used in the provided sentence. The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced <t>democrats</t>, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2)."

3.  **Analyze the Word in Context:** The word is "democrats." It is used as a noun referring to people/political actors.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a member of the Democratic Party (Focuses on party membership/affiliation).
    *   Sense 2: definition=an advocate of democratic principles (Focuses on ideology/belief system).

5.  **Determine the Meaning in Context:** The sentence discusses respondents being "convinced" of something. In a political context, when people are described as "democrats," it usually refers to people who support or are members of the political party or ideology.

6.  **Evaluate the Options against the Context:**
    *   If the sentence meant "people who belong to the Democratic Party," Sense 1 applies.
    *   If the sentence meant "people who believe in democracy/democratic principles," Sense 2 applies.

7.  **Refine the Interpretation (Political Usage):** In political discourse, "democrat" is often used broadly to mean someone who supports the Democratic Party (Sense 1) or someone who supports democratic ideals (Sense 2). However, when discussing *respondents* being "convinced," it often relates to their political affiliation or belief system.

8.  **Re-read the Options and Context for Nuance:** The sentence is about political conviction. While Sense 2 (advocate of principles) is a valid meaning, Sense 1 (member of the party) is a very specific, concrete political identity.

9.  **Conclusion based on standard usage:** Both senses are plausible depending on the specific context of the survey, but Sense 1 (party membership) is a very common, concrete definition. Sense 2 (advocate) is also common.

10. **Self-Correction/Final Check:** Since the options are mutually exclusive definitions, I must choose the best fit. If the context is purely about political affiliation, Sense 1 is strong. If the context is about ideology, Sense 2 is strong. Without further context, let's assume the most common political usage.

    *   *Wait:* Let's look at the structure: "are convinced [democrats]". This implies they are convinced of *who* or *what* they are.

    *   If the sentence meant "people who support democracy," it would be Sense 2.
    *   If the sentence meant "people who are members of the Democratic Party," it would be Sense 1.

    In the absence of explicit context, both are possible. However, Sense 2 (advocate of democratic principles) is often the broader, more abstract meaning used when discussing political opinions or beliefs, which fits the idea of being "convinced."

    *Let's assume Sense 2 is the intended meaning, as it relates to the *principles* that drive political conviction.*

11. **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "figure" (marked by `<t>figure</t>`) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Examine the Sentence:** "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)."

3.  **Determine the Context of "figure":** The word "figure" is used in the phrase "the same figure as last year" and refers to a percentage (44% and 25%). It is being used in a statistical or graphical sense.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**

    *   1. definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2 (Relates to visual representation/chart.)
    *   2. definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | examples=Leonardo studied the human body (Relates to anatomy.)
    *   3. definition=one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration | examples=0 and 1 are digits (Relates to mathematics/numerals.)
    *   4. definition=a model of a bodily form (especially of a person) | examples=he made a figure of Santa Claus (Relates to sculpture/model.)
    *   5. definition=a well-known or notable person | examples=they studied all the great names in the history of France (Relates to a person.)
    *   6. definition=a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape (Relates to shape/geometry.)
    *   7. definition=an amount of money expressed numerically | examples=a figure of $17 was suggested (Relates to money/amount.)

    *   12. definition=a decorative or artistic work (Relates to art.)
    *   13. definition=a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating (Relates to dance.)

5.  **Match Context to Sense:** The context is statistical data (a percentage/number).

    *   Sense 1: "a diagram or picture illustrating textual material." (Fits the context of a chart/data representation.)
    *   Sense 3: "one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration." (Fits the context of numbers/data points.)
    *   Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically." (Too specific to money.)
    *   Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals." (Fits the context of a total/sum, like a percentage.)

6.  **Refine the Match (Figure in Statistics):** When referring to a statistical result (like 44%), "figure" often refers to the numerical value itself, or the representation of that value.

    *   If "figure" means the numerical value (44%), Sense 3 (element of numeration) or Sense 9 (property of a sum/total) are strong candidates.
    *   If "figure" means the visual representation (chart 3), Sense 1 is strong.

    The sentence says: "...the same figure as last year..." This refers to the numerical value being compared.

    Let's re-evaluate the options based on common usage in data reporting.
    *   Sense 1: Diagram/Picture. (Possible, but less direct than the numerical value.)
    *   Sense 3: Element of numeration. (Very strong, as a percentage is a numerical element.)
    *   Sense 9: Property possessed by a sum/total. (Very strong, as 44% is a total/sum.)

    In the context of statistics, "figure" is most commonly used to mean a number or amount. Sense 9 captures the idea of a quantity or total.

    *Self-Correction/Final Check:* If the sentence meant "the same chart," it would use Sense 1. Since it compares the *value* (44% vs 25%), it refers to the quantity. Sense 9 is the best fit for a quantity or total.

3.  **Analyze the Context of `<t>year</t>`:** The phrase is "last year". This refers to a previous period of time, specifically a calendar year or a span of time used for comparison (like a statistical period).

4.  **Examine the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old (Focuses on the duration/length of a calendar year.)

    *   Sense 2 (a period for a particular activity, like a school year) is less fitting here, although "year" can be used this way.
    *   Sense 3 (orbital period) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 4 (class of students) is irrelevant.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "last year" aligns best with the definition of a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. This corresponds to Sense 1.

Sentence: 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 <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "increase" (marked with <t>increase</t>) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "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 <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

3.  **Determine the Context of the Target Word (<t>increase</t>):**
    *   The sentence compares a current figure (44%) to a previous figure (25% in 2001).
    *   The structure is: "the same figure as last year but a big increase on [previous figure]."
    *   The word "increase" is modifying the change between the two figures (44% vs 25%).

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year (Focuses on the *addition* itself.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month (Focuses on the *change* or *result* of becoming larger.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment (Focuses on the *process* or *state* of growing.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare (Focuses on the *magnitude* or *amount* of the change.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary (Focuses on the *action* taken.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The sentence describes a comparison of percentages (44% vs 25%) and highlights the difference/change between them.
    *   The phrase "a big increase on the 25%" refers to the *change* or *difference* in the percentage value.

    *   *Check Sense 1 (addition):* While an increase is an addition, the context is comparative change, not just a simple addition.
    *   *Check Sense 2 (change resulting in an increase):* This fits well. The sentence is describing a change (from 25% to 44%) that resulted in an increase.
    *   *Check Sense 3 (process of becoming larger):* This is too broad; it describes a specific data point change.
    *   *Check Sense 4 (amount by which something increases):* This would apply if the sentence said, "The increase was 19 percentage points." The sentence uses "a big increase on the 25%," focusing on the overall change.
    *   *Check Sense 5 (act of increasing):* This implies an agent performing the action (e.g., "They increased the satisfaction rate"). The sentence is describing the result, not the action.

6.  **Conclusion:** The sentence is describing a change or shift in the figure. Sense 2 ("a change resulting in an increase") is the most accurate fit for describing the relationship between the two percentages.

    *   Sense 1 (self-belief) is not the primary focus here.
    *   Sense 4 and 5 relate to relationships or secrets, which are not the core meaning used when discussing confidence *in* an institution.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "had confidence in [institution]" aligns best with Sense 2 (a feeling of trust in something).

7.  **Final Check:** The required output is the number of the correct sense. The correct sense is 2.

    *   Sense 1: definition=the legislature of the United States government
    *   Sense 2: definition=a meeting of elected or appointed representatives
    *   Sense 3: definition=a national legislative assembly
    *   Sense 4: definition=the act of sexual procreation... (Irrelevant)

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The context is about a political body (Congress).
    *   Sense 1 (legislature of the US government) is highly relevant, especially when discussing "their country's Congress."
    *   Sense 2 (meeting of representatives) is also relevant, as Congress is a meeting of representatives.
    *   Sense 3 (national legislative assembly) is also relevant.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit (Standard Usage):** While all three (1, 2, 3) are related, in political discourse, "Congress" most commonly refers to the legislative body (Sense 1) or the assembly (Sense 3). Since the options are numbered, I need to see which definition is the most precise fit for the political context presented.

    *   The sentence is discussing confidence in the *institution* (Congress) and the *government*.

    *   Let's re-evaluate the options based on common usage:
        *   Sense 1: legislature of the United States government (Specific, but often used generally for legislative bodies).
        *   Sense 2: a meeting of elected or appointed representatives (Accurate description of what Congress *is*).
        *   Sense 3: a national legislative assembly (Accurate description of what Congress *is*).

    *   Since the context is broad ("their country's Congress"), Sense 3 (national legislative assembly) or Sense 1 (legislature) are strong candidates.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In multiple-choice questions about polysemy, if the context is political, the definitions related to lawmaking bodies (1, 2, 3) are correct. Since the options are distinct, I must choose the most encompassing or specific definition used in this context.

    *   If we assume the context is US politics (implied by "their country's Congress"), Sense 1 is very strong. If we assume a general definition, Sense 3 is strong.

    *   Let's check the provided options again. Since the options are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the context is clearly political, 4 is out.

    *   If I must choose one, Sense 1 (the legislature) is the most formal and specific political definition. Sense 3 (national legislative assembly) is also excellent. Sense 2 (a meeting) is too general.

    *   Given the options, Sense 1 is the most precise political definition.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the most appropriate fit.
