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 United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%. -RRB- But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress. That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened. 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 <t>year</t>, 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).

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
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
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
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past <t>year</t>, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

3.  **Analyze the Target Usage:** The phrase is "over the past year" and "last year." This usage refers to a span of time, typically 12 months, or a specific, defined period used for comparison (e.g., "last year," "this year").

4.  **Examine 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 defines a calendar year (365/366 days). This sense is used when referring to the duration of a calendar year (e.g., "in the year 1920").

    *   **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:* This defines a specific, recurring period within a calendar year (e.g., a school year, a fiscal 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
        *   *Relevance:* This is a sidereal or orbital year. Not relevant here.

    *   **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:* This is a specific, often informal, usage of "year" referring to a cohort of students. Not relevant here.

5.  **Match Usage to Sense:**
    The context uses "over the past year" and "last year." These phrases refer to a span of time (12 months) used for comparison, which aligns most closely with the general concept of a calendar period or duration.

    *   Sense 1 defines the fundamental unit of time (a period of 365 days/a calendar year).
    *   Sense 2 defines a *part* of a calendar year (like a school year).

    The usage "over the past year" is a standard temporal measurement, fitting the definition of a period of time (Sense 1).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit.

2.  **Locate the Target Word:** The target word is `<t>year</t>` in the context.
    Context snippet: "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 <t>year</t> and is the lowest figure since 1995."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Usage:** The phrase is "last year." This refers to the previous 12-month period.

4.  **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 definition describes a calendar year (a period of 365/366 days). "Last year" fits this sense perfectly.

    *   **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:* This refers to a segment of a year (e.g., a school year, a fiscal year). While "year" can be used this way, the context "last year" is comparing two full calendar years.

    *   **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 relevant. The context is about human statistics and crime rates, not planetary orbits.

    *   **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 relevant. The context is about economic data and crime statistics.

5.  **Conclusion:** The usage "last year" clearly refers to the standard 12-month period, which corresponds to Sense 1.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The sentence containing the target word is: "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 <t>figure</t> since 1995."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Usage:**

    The preceding context discusses crime statistics: "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."
    In this context, "figure" is being used to refer to a numerical value or statistic (the percentage/proportion of victims of crime).

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   1. definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | synonyms=fig | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2 (Incorrect - not a diagram)
    *   2. definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | synonyms=human body, physical body, material body, soma, build, physique (Incorrect - not a body)
    *   3. definition=one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration | synonyms=digit | examples=0 and 1 are digits (Incorrect - not a digit)

    *   6. definition=a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape (Incorrect - not a shape/form)
    *   7. definition=an amount of money expressed numerically examples=a figure of $17 was suggested (Possible, but the context is a percentage/statistic, not specifically money.)
    *   8. definition=the impression produced by a person examples=he cut a fine figure; a heroic figure (Incorrect - not an impression)
    *   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 (Strong candidate, as statistics are quantities/sums.)
    *   10. definition=language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense synonyms=trope, figure of speech, image (Incorrect - not language)
    *   11. definition=a unitary percept having structure and coherence that is the object of attention and that stands out against a ground (Incorrect - too abstract/visual)
    *   12. definition=a decorative or artistic work synonyms=design, pattern examples=the coach had a design on the doors (Incorrect - not a design)
    *   13. definition=a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating examples=she made the best score on compulsory figures (Incorrect - not a dance move)

5.  **Compare Best Candidates (7 and 9):**
    *   Context: "...is the lowest figure since 1995." (Referring to a statistic/number.)
    *   Sense 7: definition=an amount of money expressed numerically.
    *   Sense 9: definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals synonyms=number.

    Since the context is about a percentage/proportion (a quantity/sum of individuals), Sense 9 is the most accurate fit. (Sense 7 is too specific to money.)

6.  **Final Check:** The word "figure" here functions as a synonym for "number" or "quantity" in a statistical sense. Sense 9 matches this definition.

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "development" in Context:**
    *   "...private enterprise is indispensable for development..." (Implies progress, improvement, or advancement.)
    *   "...the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed..." (Implies reaching a mature or advanced stage.)

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining | examples=he congratulated them on their development of a plan... (Fits the idea of improving/refining.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) | synonyms=evolution | examples=the development of his ideas took many years; the evolution of Greek civilization (Fits the idea of moving to a more advanced stage.)

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=a state in which things are improving; the result of developing (as in the early part of a game of chess) | examples=after he saw the latest development he changed his mind... (Fits the idea of a state of improvement.)

5.  **Compare Best Fits (1, 2, 7):**
    *   The context discusses economic performance, private enterprise, and market systems leading to a better state.
    *   Sense 1 (improving/refining) is plausible.
    *   Sense 2 (passing by degrees to a more advanced stage/evolution) is highly plausible, especially when discussing economic systems moving toward maturity.
    *   Sense 7 (a state in which things are improving) is also plausible.

6.  **Re-evaluate the specific phrasing:**
    *   "...private enterprise is indispensable for development..."
    *   "...the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed..."

    The usage here is about the progression of an economy or a country toward a more advanced, mature state. Sense 2 ("a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)") is the strongest fit for describing economic or societal progress/evolution.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate interpretation in this socio-economic 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 <t>chart</t> 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year.

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The target word is `<t>system</t>`.
    The sentence containing it is: "Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only <t>system</t> that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:**
    The phrase is "the only system that will make their country developed."
    Here, "system" refers to the market economy, which is a complex structure or set of rules/mechanisms designed to achieve a specific outcome (development).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=instrumentality that combines interrelated interacting artifacts designed to work as a coherent entity | examples=he bought a new stereo system; the system consists of a motor and a small computer. (Focuses on interacting parts working together.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole | synonyms=scheme | examples=a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going. (Focuses on elements forming a unified whole, often used for large-scale processes.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(physical chemistry) a sample of matter in which substances in different phases are in equilibrium | examples=in a static system oil cannot be replaced by water on a surface; a system generating hydrogen peroxide. (Specific scientific definition.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a complex of methods or rules governing behavior | synonyms=system of rules | examples=they have to operate under a system they oppose; that language has a complex system for indicating gender. (Focuses on rules/methods governing behavior.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an organized structure for arranging or classifying | synonyms=arrangement, organization, organisation | examples=he changed the arrangement of the topics; the facts were familiar but it was in the organization of them that he was original. (Focuses on structure/arrangement.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=a group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts | examples=the body has a system of organs for digestion. (Biological/anatomical.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=a procedure or process for obtaining an objective | examples=they had to devise a system that did not depend on cooperation. (Focuses on a procedure/process.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=the living body considered as made up of interdependent components forming a unified whole | examples=exercise helped him get the alcohol out of his system. (Biological/body.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized | synonyms=organization, organisation | examples=his compulsive organization was not an endearing quality; we can't do it unless we establish some system around here. (Focuses on orderliness/method.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context discusses "the market economy" as the "only system that will make their country developed." This implies a set of rules, methods, and structures governing the economy.

    *   Sense 4 (a complex of methods or rules governing behavior) fits well, as an economy is governed by economic rules and methods.
    *   Sense 5 (an organized structure for arranging or classifying) also fits, as an economy is an organized structure.
    *   Sense 9 (an ordered manner; orderliness) is too focused on mere orderliness, not the governing structure itself.
    *   Sense 1 (instrumentality combining interacting artifacts) is too focused on physical components (like a stereo system).
    *   Sense 2 (group of independent but interrelated elements) is plausible but Sense 4 or 5 is more precise for a socio-economic structure.

    Let's re-examine the options based on the common usage of "system" in social/economic contexts.

    *   If the system is the *rules* of the economy -> Sense 4.
    *   If the system is the *structure* of the economy -> Sense 5.

    The phrase "the market economy is the only system" emphasizes that this structure/set of rules is the mechanism for development. Sense 4 ("a complex of methods or rules governing behavior") is a very strong fit for describing an economic system.

6.  **Final Check:** The context is about economic policy and structure. Sense 4 defines a system as a complex of methods or rules. This is the most accurate fit for "market economy."

(Focuses on a defined region, often cultural/geographical.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context discusses the "market economy" and what system will make the *country* developed. This implies a political/economic entity or nation-state.

    *   Sense 1 (politically organized body/state/nation) fits well when discussing economic development and systems.
    *   Sense 2 (territory/land) is relevant but less specific than the political structure implied by "market economy."
    *   Sense 3 (people) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (rural area) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 5 (geographical region) is plausible, but Sense 1 is a stronger fit when discussing national economic systems.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "make their country developed" refers to the nation-state or political entity. This aligns best with Sense 1.

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "view":**
    The phrase is "hold that view." This implies an opinion, perspective, or belief about a situation (the expropriation of private companies).

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a way of regarding situations or topics etc. | synonyms=position, perspective | examples=consider what follows from the positivist view. (Matches the idea of a perspective/position.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the visual percept of a region | synonyms=aspect, prospect, scene, vista, panorama | examples=the most desirable feature of the park are the beautiful views. (Relates to sight/visual.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the act of looking or seeing or observing | synonyms=survey, sight | examples=he tried to get a better view of it; his survey of the battlefield was limited. (Relates to the act of looking.)

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty | synonyms=opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought | examples=my opinion differs from yours; I am not of your persuasion. (Matches the idea of a personal belief/judgment.)

(Relates to an expressed belief/opinion.)

    *   **Sense 10:** definition=outward appearance | examples=they look the same in outward view. (Relates to appearance.)

5.  **Compare Usage to Senses:**
    The context uses "hold that view" to express a stance or perspective on a political/economic issue.

    *   Sense 1 (position, perspective) is a strong candidate.
    *   Sense 5 (personal belief or judgment, opinion) is a strong candidate.
    *   Sense 6 (message expressing a belief/opinion) is also a strong candidate.

    Let's re-read the options for 1, 5, and 6.
    *   Sense 1: definition=a way of regarding situations or topics etc. | synonyms=position, perspective.
    *   Sense 5: definition=a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty | synonyms=opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought.
    *   Sense 6: definition=a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof | synonyms=opinion.

    In academic or analytical writing, "hold a view" often refers to a specific perspective or standpoint (Sense 1). However, "view" is also frequently used synonymously with "opinion" (Sense 5/6).

    Since the sentence is about respondents *holding* a belief about the situation, Sense 5 (personal belief/judgment) or Sense 6 (expressed belief/opinion) are highly relevant. Sense 5 is slightly broader ("personal belief or judgment"), while Sense 6 focuses on the *expression* of that belief.

    Given the options, Sense 1 (position, perspective) fits the structure "hold that view" very well, as it refers to the standpoint taken on the topic.

    Let's check the examples provided for Sense 1: "consider what follows from the positivist view." This confirms the usage as a standpoint or perspective.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit for "hold that view" in the context of expressing a position on a complex issue.

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing <t>president</t>, 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)."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:** The word is "president" used in the phrase "...their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies." This refers to a head of state or a leader of a country/government (Venezuela).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation. (Focuses on corporate executive.) -> *Does not fit Hugo Chávez.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | synonyms=President of the United States, United States President, Chief Executive | examples=the President likes to jog every morning. (Focuses on US Head of State/Chief Executive.) -> *Plausible, as Hugo Chávez is a head of state, but the context is about a Latin American leader.*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the chief executive of a republic. (Focuses on a head of state/chief executive of a republic.) -> *Plausible.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | synonyms=chairman, chairwoman, chair, chairperson. (Focuses on meeting officer.) -> *Does not fit Hugo Chávez.*
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the head administrative officer of a college or university | synonyms=prexy. (Focuses on university officer.) -> *Does not fit Hugo Chávez.*
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=the office of the United States head of state | synonyms=President of the United States, Chief Executive | examples=a President is elected every four years. (Focuses on the *office* of the US head of state.) -> *This sense is about the office, not the person (Hugo Chávez).*

5.  **Re-evaluate Senses 2 and 3 based on the context:**
    The context discusses Hugo Chávez, the leader of Venezuela. He is a head of state/chief executive of a republic.

    *   Sense 2 focuses specifically on the US President.
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the chief executive of a republic (a general concept).

    Since the text is discussing a leader of a country (Hugo Chávez), Sense 3 ("the chief executive of a republic") is the most accurate general definition for the role being referenced, even if the specific example is not the US.

6.  **Final Check:** The context uses "president" to refer to a political leader/head of state (Hugo Chávez). Sense 3 defines "president" as "the chief executive of a republic." This is the best fit among the options provided for a non-US political leader.

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

Context: That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened. 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.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "leadership" (1, 2, 3, or 4) is used in the context provided.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**

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."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The context uses "Brazil exercises most leadership in the region." This usage refers to a country performing a certain function or holding a position of influence/dominance over others in a geographical/political context.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the activity of leading | synonyms=leading | examples=his leadership inspired the team (Focuses on the *action* or *process* of leading.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=the body of people who lead a group | synonyms=leaders | examples=the national leadership adopted his plan (Focuses on the *group* or *people* who lead.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=the status of a leader | examples=they challenged his leadership of the union (Focuses on the *position* or *role* held by a leader.)
    *   Sense 4: definition=the ability to lead | examples=he believed that leadership can be taught (Focuses on the *capacity* or *skill* required to lead.)

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   The context is talking about a *country* (Brazil) exercising *influence* or *dominance* over a region.
    *   Is it the *activity* (1)? No, it's not describing an action being performed by an individual/group in this sentence.
    *   Is it the *body of people* (2)? No, it's referring to a country, not a group of people.
    *   Is it the *status* (3)? This is plausible, as "leadership" can refer to the status of a country as a regional power.
    *   Is it the *ability* (4)? No, it's not discussing the capacity to lead.

6.  **Re-evaluate Sense 1 vs. Sense 3 in the context of a country:**
    *   Sense 1 (activity/leading): A country *exercises* leadership (the activity of leading/influencing).
    *   Sense 3 (status): Brazil holds the status of the most influential country.

    In political geography, when we say a country "exercises leadership in a region," we are often referring to its functional role or status of influence. However, Sense 1 ("the activity of leading") is also a very strong candidate, as "exercises" implies an ongoing action.

    Let's look at the examples provided:
    *   Sense 1 example: "his leadership inspired the team" (Action/Activity)
    *   Sense 3 example: "they challenged his leadership of the union" (Status/Role)

    The phrase "exercises most leadership" describes the function or role that Brazil plays. This aligns most closely with the *activity* or *function* of leading.

7.  **Final Check:** The context describes Brazil's role/function in the region. This aligns best with the definition of leadership as "the activity of leading."

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1.

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
