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

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 countries, are convinced <t>democrats</t>, 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).

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

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "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 Target Word in Context:** The word is "democrats." It is used as a noun referring to people/individuals who hold or support a certain political ideology or system. The sentence structure implies that the respondents are convinced *of* or *in favor of* these people/the concept they represent.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a member of the Democratic Party
    *   Sense 2: definition=an advocate of democratic principles | synonyms=populist

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context discusses support for "democracy" and how people are "convinced" about it.
    *   Sense 1 (member of the Democratic Party) is too narrow and doesn't fit the general discussion about support for democratic principles.
    *   Sense 2 (an advocate of democratic principles) aligns perfectly with the discussion about support for democracy and the general political landscape.

6.  **Conclusion:** The context uses the sense of "democrat" as an advocate of democratic principles. This corresponds to sense number 2.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "average" (1, 2, or 3) is used in the context provided and return only that number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   "The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood." (Sense 1?)
    *   "The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions." (Sense 2?)
    *   "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." (This uses "averaged 6%", which is a statistical mean.)
    *   "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 <t>average</t> (see chart 2)." (The context is discussing support/opinion/percentage.)
    *   "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied..."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word ("average") in Context:**
    *   The word "average" is used in the phrase: "drags down the regional average."
    *   The context is discussing political support/opinion/percentage of people convinced of democracy.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | synonyms=norm | examples=it set the norm for American homes (Focuses on statistical location/norm.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities (Focuses on ratio/performance.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average (Focuses on being normal or usual, often used in comparison.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context uses "average" to refer to a general level or trend of support/opinion across a region.
    *   Sense 1 (statistic describing location/norm) fits the idea of a statistical measure of a distribution.
    *   Sense 3 (intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual) fits the idea of a general, typical level (e.g., "about average").

6.  **Re-evaluate the usage:** When discussing regional support levels or percentages, "average" often functions as a measure of what is typical or normal for that group.
    *   If it were Sense 1, it would be strictly statistical (like the mean of a dataset).
    *   If it were Sense 3, it emphasizes the idea of being "normal" or "usual" for the region.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 3: "he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average." This usage emphasizes the concept of "normal" or "usual." The context is discussing the regional level of democratic conviction. This fits the interpretation of "normal" or "usual" (Sense 3) better than a strict statistical location (Sense 1) or a sports ratio (Sense 2).

7.  **Final Conclusion:** The usage of "average" here refers to a typical or normal level of support in the region. This aligns best with Sense 3.

    *   If "country" meant territory (Sense 2), the focus would be on land or borders.
    *   If "country" meant people (Sense 3), the focus would be on the population's mood or identity.
    *   If "country" meant a politically organized body/state (Sense 1), the focus is directly on the functioning of its political system (democracy, Congress, government).

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage of "country's democracy" and references to political institutions strongly aligns with the definition of a politically organized body of people under a single government (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1 (political orientation/support) is relevant, but the text focuses more on the functioning and institutions.
    *   Sense 2 (political system where supreme power lies in elected citizens) is relevant, as the text discusses the system's performance and institutions.
    *   Sense 3 (majority rule) is not the primary focus; the text discusses satisfaction with the *process* and *institutions*, not just the mechanism of majority decision-making.

5.  **Refine the Match:** The text is discussing the practical operation, institutions, and public perception of the political structure. Sense 2 defines democracy as the political *system* where power resides in the citizens who elect representatives. The discussion about satisfaction with how the country's democracy "works in practice" and confidence in Congress/government aligns best with evaluating the functioning of that system.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most appropriate fit.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify the correct numbered sense of the word "figure" (marked by `<t>figure</t>`) used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The sentence containing the target word is: "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.  **Analyze the Contextual Usage:**
    The phrase is "the same figure as last year." This implies that "figure" is being used in a way that refers to a numerical value, statistic, or amount, often presented graphically (as suggested by the reference to "chart 3").

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | synonyms=fig | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2. (Relates to visual representation/diagram.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | synonyms=human body, physical body, material body, soma, build, physique | examples=Leonardo studied the human body; he has a strong physique. (Relates to body.)

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a well-known or notable person | synonyms=name, public figure | examples=they studied all the great names in the history of France; she is an important figure in modern music. (Relates to a person.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape. (Relates to a physical shape/form.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=an amount of money expressed numerically | examples=a figure of $17 was suggested. (Relates to a numerical amount/sum.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=the impression produced by a person | examples=he cut a fine figure; a heroic figure. (Relates to appearance/impression.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | synonyms=number | examples=he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small. (Relates to quantity/number.)
    *   **Sense 10:** definition=language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense | synonyms=trope, figure of speech, image. (Relates to language/speech.)
    *   **Sense 11:** definition=a unitary percept having structure and coherence that is the object of attention and that stands out against a ground. (Relates to perception/object.)
    *   **Sense 12:** definition=a decorative or artistic work | synonyms=design, pattern. (Relates to art/design.)
    *   **Sense 13:** definition=a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating. (Relates to dance moves.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context uses "the same figure as last year" in reference to percentages (44% vs 25%). This usage refers to a specific numerical value or statistic.

    *   Sense 7: definition=an amount of money expressed numerically. (While percentages are amounts, this definition is specific to money. However, the core idea is a numerical amount.)
    *   Sense 9: definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | synonyms=number. (This is a strong fit for a statistic or total quantity.)

    Let's re-examine the options. The context is about statistics (percentages).
    *   If "figure" means a numerical amount/statistic, Sense 9 (property possessed by a sum/total/quantity) is highly relevant.
    *   If "figure" means a diagram/chart, Sense 1 is relevant, but the usage "the same figure as last year" usually refers to the data point itself, not the visual representation.

    Let's check the examples provided for Sense 7: "a figure of $17 was suggested." This confirms "figure" can mean a numerical amount.

    Let's check the examples provided for Sense 9: "he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small." This confirms "figure" can mean a quantity/number.

    Since the context is comparing percentages (a quantity/statistic), Sense 9 is the most accurate fit for the meaning of "figure" as a numerical quantity or statistic.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 9.

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

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.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "year" (marked with `<t></t>`) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Examine the 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).

3.  **Identify the Target Instance:** The target is `<t>year</t>`.

4.  **Analyze the Usage of "year" in the Target 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 <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."
    Here, "last year" refers to the previous calendar year, comparing the current figure to the figure from the year immediately preceding the current one.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
        *   *Relevance:* This sense is used when referring to a calendar year (e.g., "in the year 1920") or a duration (e.g., "last year"). This matches the usage in the context.

    *   **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
        *   *Relevance:* Not applicable. The context is not about a school period.

    *   **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
        *   *Relevance:* Not applicable. The context is about human political/economic time, not astronomical time.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High
        *   *Relevance:* Not applicable. The context is not about a group of students.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "last year" clearly refers to a calendar period of time, corresponding to Sense 1.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity that is added | synonyms=addition, gain | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year; they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "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.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** "...a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001."
    The structure is "increase on [a previous value]". This suggests a comparison or a change from one value to another.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a quantity that is added | synonyms=addition, gain | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year; they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks (Focuses on the addition/gain 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 | synonyms=increment, growth | examples=the increase in unemployment; the growth of population (Focuses on the *process* of growth.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the amount by which something increases | synonyms=increment | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare (Focuses on the *amount* of the increase.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the act of increasing something | synonyms=step-up | examples=he gave me an increase in salary (Focuses on the *action* of increasing.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context states that the figure (44%) is the "same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001." This describes a *change* or a *result* (the new figure is higher than the old one).

    *   Sense 1 (addition/gain): Possible, but less precise for describing the overall change in a percentage point.
    *   Sense 2 (a change resulting in an increase): Fits well. The context describes a change in the percentage point.
    *   Sense 3 (process of becoming larger): Not applicable; this is a static comparison of two points in time.
    *   Sense 4 (the amount by which something increases): Not applicable; the phrase "a big increase" refers to the overall change, not just the magnitude of the difference.
    *   Sense 5 (the act of increasing): Not applicable; no action is described.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2, "a change resulting in an increase," is the most accurate fit for describing the shift from one percentage to another.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The word is "<t>confidence</t>".
    The sentence containing it is: "Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> 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)."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:**
    The structure is "had confidence in [X]". This implies belief, assurance, or trust regarding the capability or legitimacy of the Congress and the government.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | synonyms=assurance, self-assurance, self-confidence, authority, sureness | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular; after that failure he lost his confidence.
        *   *Relevance:* This sense involves belief/assurance (like having confidence in an institution).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples=I have confidence in our team; confidence is always borrowed, never owned.
        *   *Relevance:* This sense involves trust in an entity (Congress/government).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy.
        *   *Relevance:* This is about hopefulness/expectation of favorable outcomes. (Less fitting for "confidence in Congress").

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a trustful relationship | synonyms=trust | examples=he took me into his confidence; he betrayed their trust.
        *   *Relevance:* This is about a relationship, not necessarily belief in an institution.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences; the priest could not reveal her confidences.
        *   *Relevance:* This is about secrets/disclosure. (Not relevant).

5.  **Compare Context to Senses 1 and 2:**
    *   The context uses "confidence in their country's Congress and their government."
    *   Sense 1 focuses on self-belief/assurance.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on trust (in someone or something).

    While "confidence" can overlap, the phrase "confidence in [an institution]" most strongly aligns with the idea of *trust* or *belief* in that institution's ability or legitimacy. Sense 2 explicitly defines confidence as "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)."

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Let's re-read the examples for Sense 2: "I have confidence in our team." This is a direct application of trust in a group. The context applies this to Congress and the government.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 (a feeling of trust in someone or something) is the best fit.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:** The word is "Congress." It is being used in the phrase "their country's Congress," and the context compares confidence in it to confidence in the "government."

4.  **Examine the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the legislature of the United States government | synonyms=United States Congress, U.S. Congress
    *   Sense 2: definition=a meeting of elected or appointed representatives

    *   Sense 3 (national legislative assembly) is a strong fit for a country's legislative body.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** While Sense 1 is a specific instance, Sense 3 ("a national legislative assembly") is the most accurate general definition for a country's legislative body being discussed in a political context, especially when contrasted with the "government." Sense 2 is too general, and Sense 4 is completely wrong.

7.  **Final Check:** The context discusses confidence in a country's legislative body. Sense 3 fits this meaning perfectly. (If the context had explicitly mentioned the US, Sense 1 might be preferred, but here it is general.)

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "year" (marked with <t>year</t>) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Examine the 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 country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

3.  **Locate the Target Instance:** The target is the instance marked <t>year</t>.
    The relevant sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last <t>year</t> in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "last year" in Context:**
    The phrase "the same as last year" refers to a previous calendar year, used for comparison of statistics (confidence levels).

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920. (This is the standard definition of a calendar 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. (This refers to a specific activity period, not the general 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. (This is an astronomical year.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High. (This is a student cohort/class year.)

6.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    The context uses "last year" in a statistical comparison (confidence levels). This usage aligns perfectly with the definition of a calendar period of time (365/366 days).

    *   If it were Sense 2 (school year), the context would likely refer to a specific academic period.
    *   If it were Sense 3 (planetary year), the context would be about astronomy.
    *   If it were Sense 4 (class year), the context would be about students.

    The usage "last year" in a general statistical context points to Sense 1.

7.  **Final Check:** The context uses "last year" to compare current confidence levels to the previous calendar year's levels. This matches Sense 1.

    *   The phrase "Latin American countries" refers to specific political entities (Mexico, Brazil, and others in the region).
    *   Sense 1 (politically organized body of people under a single government) fits this definition best, as it emphasizes the political structure and governance of the entity.
    *   Sense 2 (territory) is relevant but less specific than the political entity itself.
    *   Sense 3 (people) is about the inhabitants, not the country as a political unit.

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 <t>recovery</t>. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor.

    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 <t>recovery</t>. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "recovery" in Context:**
    The sentence is: "...many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."
    The context discusses economic woes, recessions, and holding up during a financial crisis. This usage refers to an economic situation returning to a better state after a downturn.

4.  **Analyze the Provided Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=return to an original state | examples=the recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid
    *   Sense 2: definition=gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury | synonyms=convalescence, recuperation
    *   Sense 3: definition=the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost) | synonyms=retrieval

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context is about economic woes/recession and enjoying a strong state afterward.
    *   Sense 1 (return to an original state) fits economic recovery well. (Example: recovery of the forest).
    *   Sense 2 (gradual healing after sickness/injury) is biological/medical. (Does not fit the economic context).
    *   Sense 3 (regaining or saving something lost) is general retrieval. (Less specific than Sense 1 for economic context).

6.  **Conclusion:** The context uses "recovery" in the economic sense—the return to a previous, better state after a decline. This aligns best with Sense 1.

7.  **Final Check:** The context discusses economic recovery after a recession. Sense 1 defines recovery as "return to an original state." This is the correct fit.
