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 <t>respondents</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: respondent
    *   Target surface form: respondents
    *   Context sentence: "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)."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses poverty, economic performance, crime rates, and mentions "polls began" and "chart 5."

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `respondent%1:18:01` - definition: the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding) who is accused of adultery with the corespondent. (Legal/Marital context)
    *   Sense 2: `respondent%1:18:00` - definition: someone who responds | synonyms=responder, answerer. (General context of answering/replying)

3.  **Evaluate the senses against the context:**
    *   The context explicitly mentions "polls began" and people "cite crime... as the most important problem." This indicates that the people being discussed are participants in a survey or poll.
    *   Sense 1 (divorce/adultery) is completely irrelevant to the topic of social issues and polls.
    *   Sense 2 (someone who responds/answerer) perfectly matches the role of a participant in a poll or survey who provides answers.

4.  **Select the best sense:** Sense 2 is the clear and correct choice.

5.  **Format the output:** The instruction requires a JSON object with the sense index. Since the provided candidates are numbered 1 and 2, and Sense 2 is the correct one, the index is 2. (Wait, the instructions ask for the JSON format `{"sense_index": 3}` as an example, but the candidates are 1 and 2. I must use the index corresponding to the chosen sense.)

    *   Sense 1 -> Index 1
    *   Sense 2 -> Index 2

    The correct index is 2.

Context: "For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a <t>whole</t> cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5)."

Target word: whole

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=whole%1:09:00:: | definition=all of something including all its component elements or parts | examples=Europe considered as a whole; the whole of American literature
2. sense_key=whole%1:03:00:: | definition=an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity | synonyms=unit | examples=how big is that part compared to the whole?; the team is a unit

Analysis:
The phrase is "respondents across Latin America as a whole".
"Latin America" is the collection of countries/regions.
"as a whole" means treating the entire region (all its component parts/countries) as a single entity for the purpose of the survey results.

Let's evaluate the senses:

Sense 1: "all of something including all its component elements or parts".
Example: "Europe considered as a whole". This matches the structure and meaning perfectly. When you consider a region "as a whole," you are considering all its parts.

Sense 2: "an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity".
Example: "the team is a unit". This also captures the idea of treating parts as a single entity.

Comparison:
Sense 1 focuses on the comprehensive inclusion of all parts ("all of something including all its component elements or parts").
Sense 2 focuses on the resulting state of being treated as one unit ("an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity").

In the context "respondents across Latin America as a whole," the meaning is that the data is aggregated across all countries of Latin America, treating the entire region as one unit for the statistical reporting. Both senses are very close.

However, Sense 1's definition ("all of something including all its component elements or parts") aligns strongly with the idea of aggregating data from all constituent parts (the countries) into a single measurement for the entire region (Latin America). The example "Europe considered as a whole" is a direct parallel.

Sense 2 is also applicable, but Sense 1 seems to capture the scope of inclusion more precisely in this statistical context.

I will choose Sense 1 as the best fit because it emphasizes the inclusion of all component elements (all countries/respondents) when referring to the larger entity (Latin America).

Final check:
Context: Latin America (many parts) -> treated as a whole (all parts included) -> single data point.
Sense 1: all of something including all its component elements or parts. (Perfect match).

Context snippet: "...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 <t>crime</t>, 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..."

Candidate senses:
1. `crime%1:04:00`: | definition=(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act | synonyms=offense, criminal offense, criminal offence, offence, law-breaking | examples=a long record of crimes
2. `crime%1:04:01`: | definition=an evil act not necessarily punishable by law | examples=crimes of the heart

Analysis:
1. The context mentions "violent crime has worsened." This strongly suggests illegal, punishable acts.
2. It also mentions people being "victims of crime over the past year." This refers to criminal victimization.
3. The general discussion is about social problems, economic recession, and public safety, which aligns with legal/criminal definitions of crime.

Comparing with senses:
Sense 1: Defined as "an act punishable by law," synonyms include "offense," and examples relate to criminal records. This perfectly matches the context (violent crime, victims of crime).
Sense 2: Defined as "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law" (e.g., "crimes of the heart"). This is clearly incorrect in this context.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

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 <t>problem</t> facing their country (see chart 5)."

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=problem%1:26:00:: | definition=a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved | synonyms=job | examples=she and her husband are having problems; it is always a job to contact him
2. sense_key=problem%1:10:00:: | definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
3. sense_key=problem%1:09:00:: | definition=a source of difficulty | synonyms=trouble | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?

Analysis:
The word "problem" is used to describe what respondents cite as the "most important [problem] facing their country." The preceding text discusses social issues like crime and unemployment, which are difficulties or challenges for a country.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=problem%1:26:00**: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved." This fits well. Crime and unemployment are states of difficulty.
2. **sense_key=problem%1:10:00**: "a question raised for consideration or solution." This usually applies to academic or logical puzzles (e.g., math problems). While social issues require consideration, the primary meaning here is the *issue itself*, not the question format.
3. **sense_key=problem%1:09:00**: "a source of difficulty." This also fits very well. Crime and unemployment are sources of difficulty.

Comparing 1 and 3:
Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved."
Sense 3: "a source of difficulty."

In the context of social surveys ("most important problem facing their country"), both definitions are applicable. However, Sense 3 ("a source of difficulty") is often the most direct and common way to refer to a major societal issue (like crime or unemployment) that is causing distress or hindering progress. Sense 1 emphasizes the *need for resolution*, while Sense 3 emphasizes the *nature* of the issue.

Let's look at the synonyms provided:
Sense 1 synonyms: job (This synonym seems weak or potentially misleading in this context).
Sense 3 synonyms: trouble (This is a very strong synonym for a major societal issue).

Given the strong synonym "trouble" in Sense 3, and the context referring to major societal challenges (crime, unemployment), Sense 3 seems the most precise fit for describing the *nature* of the issue cited by the respondents.

Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best fit.

Analysis:
The sentence discusses respondents citing problems (crime, unemployment) facing "their country." This refers to the nation or political entity where the respondents live.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=country%1:14:00**: "a politically organized body of people under a single government." This perfectly matches the concept of a nation/state where political problems (crime, unemployment) are measured. Synonyms include 'nation' and 'state'.
2. **sense_key=country%1:15:00**: "the territory occupied by a nation." While related, the focus here is on the political entity/nation itself, not just the physical territory.
3. **sense_key=country%1:14:01**: "the people who live in a nation or country." The context refers to the *place* or *entity* facing the problem, not the people themselves (though the people are the respondents).
4. **sense_key=country%1:15:01**: "an area outside of cities and towns." This is clearly incorrect (rural area).
5. **sense_key=country%1:15:02**: "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary." This is too vague and doesn't capture the political/national scope implied by discussing crime rates and unemployment.

Conclusion: Sense 1, defining "country" as a politically organized body/nation, is the most accurate fit for the context.

Sense 1: "a visual display of information" (e.g., a graph, diagram, or table). This fits perfectly with presenting survey results or statistical data.
Sense 2: "a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea." This is a nautical or aeronautical map, which is irrelevant to presenting survey results about crime and unemployment.

    *   Sense 2: `sense_key=victim%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who is tricked or swindled | synonyms=dupe`

3.  **Evaluate Sense 1 against the context:**
    *   Definition 1: "an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance."
    *   Context: Suffering from "crime."
    *   Match: Being a victim of crime is a classic example of suffering an adverse circumstance. This is a strong match.

4.  **Evaluate Sense 2 against the context:**
    *   Definition 2: "a person who is tricked or swindled."
    *   Context: Suffering from "crime."
    *   Match: While being tricked or swindled (fraud/scam) is a type of crime, the definition is too narrow. The general context of "crime" encompasses physical assault, theft, etc., which fall under the broader definition of suffering an adverse circumstance.

5.  **Determine the best fit:**
    *   Sense 1 is the broader, more accurate fit for "victims of crime," encompassing all types of harm or adverse events resulting from criminal activity.

6.  **Format the output:**
    *   The best sense is Sense 1.
    *   The required output format is a JSON object with the sense index. (Note: The provided candidates are numbered 1 and 2, so I will use those indices).

Target lemma: crime
Target surface form: crime
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 <t>crime</t> 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).

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "crime" in the provided context.
The context is about economic and social conditions in Latin America, specifically mentioning poverty, economic performance, and social problems.

Context snippet: "...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 <t>crime</t> over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995."

The target word is "crime".

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=crime%1:04:00:: | definition=(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act | synonyms=offense, criminal offense, criminal offence, offence, law-breaking | examples=a long record of crimes
2. sense_key=crime%1:04:01:: | definition=an evil act not necessarily punishable by law | examples=crimes of the heart

Analysis:
The context discusses "violent crime," "crime" as a major problem cited by respondents, and specifically mentions people being "victims of crime."
When people are victims of crime, it refers to illegal acts committed against them (e.g., assault, robbery, theft). These are acts punishable by law.

Sense 1: Definition includes "(criminal law) an act punishable by law." Synonyms include "offense," "criminal offense," "law-breaking." This aligns perfectly with the context of "violent crime" and being a "victim of crime."
Sense 2: Definition is "an evil act not necessarily punishable by law." This refers to moral failings or metaphorical acts (like "crimes of the heart") and does not fit the context of victimization and public safety issues.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct sense.

Analysis:
The phrase is "over the past year". This refers to a standard unit of time (12 months).
The context compares this period ("the past year") to "38% last year" and "the lowest figure since 1995". This confirms it is referring to calendar/chronological time periods.

Checking candidates:
1. sense_key=year%1:28:01: Definition is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days". This perfectly matches the usage "over the past year" in a statistical/chronological context.
2. sense_key=year%1:28:02: Refers to specific activities (e.g., school year). Not applicable here.
3. sense_key=year%1:28:00: Refers to astronomical revolution (e.g., Martian year). Not applicable here.
4. sense_key=year%1:14:00: Refers to a cohort of students. Not applicable here.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

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 year and is the lowest <t>figure</t> since 1995."

The word "figure" is used here immediately after percentages (31%, 38%) and in relation to a time span ("since 1995"). It refers to a numerical value or statistic.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=figure%1:10:00:: | definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | synonyms=fig | (Relates to charts/diagrams, but the context is a numerical statistic, not a visual representation.)
2. sense_key=figure%1:08:00:: | definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | (Irrelevant.)
3. sense_key=figure%1:23:00:: | definition=one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration | synonyms=digit | (Refers to digits like 0, 1, 2, not the overall statistic.)
4. sense_key=figure%1:06:00:: | definition=a model of a bodily form (especially of a person) | (Irrelevant.)
5. sense_key=figure%1:18:00:: | definition=a well-known or notable person | (Irrelevant.)
6. sense_key=figure%1:25:00:: | definition=a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape | (Irrelevant.)
7. sense_key=figure%1:21:00:: | definition=an amount of money expressed numerically | examples=a figure of $17 was suggested | (Refers specifically to money, but the context is a percentage/statistic.)
8. sense_key=figure%1:07:00:: | definition=the impression produced by a person | (Irrelevant.)
9. sense_key=figure%1:07:01:: | 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 | (This sense relates to a quantity or total, which fits the context of a statistic/percentage.)
10. sense_key=figure%1:10:01:: | definition=language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense | (Irrelevant.)
11. sense_key=figure%1:09:00:: | definition=a unitary percept having structure and coherence that is the object of attention and that stands out against a ground | (Too abstract, likely irrelevant.)
12. sense_key=figure%1:06:01:: | definition=a decorative or artistic work | (Irrelevant.)
13. sense_key=figure%1:04:00:: | definition=a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating | (Irrelevant.)

Comparing candidates 7 and 9:
Candidate 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically." (Too narrow, context is a percentage/statistic about crime victims.)
Candidate 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals." (This is a general term for a numerical value or statistic, which perfectly describes "the lowest figure since 1995" when referring to a percentage.)

While "figure" can mean "a numerical value" generally, sense 9 captures the idea of a "sum or total" or "quantity" better than sense 7 (which is restricted to money). In statistical reporting, "figure" is often used synonymously with "number" or "statistic."

Therefore, sense 9 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising <t>support</t> 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)."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'support' in context:** Here, 'support' refers to the level of agreement, approval, or backing given by the respondents (a percentage of people) for private enterprise and the market economy. It is a measure of public opinion or endorsement.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. Providing for/maintaining by supplying money/necessities (Financial/Material aid). (Incorrect)
    *   2. Aiding the cause or policy or interests of (Endorsement/Approval). (Highly relevant)
    *   3. Something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest (General backing/Approval). (Highly relevant)
    *   4. Military operation/reinforcement. (Incorrect)
    *   5. Documentary validation. (Incorrect)
    *   6. Financial means/livelihood. (Incorrect)
    *   7. Supporting structure/foundation. (Incorrect)
    *   8. Act of bearing weight/strengthening. (Incorrect)
    *   9. Musical part. (Incorrect)
    *   10. Device that bears weight. (Incorrect)
    *   11. Financial resources/funding. (Incorrect)
4.  **Compare the highly relevant senses (2 and 3):**
    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (e.g., "the president no longer has the support of his own party"). This fits the idea of political/policy backing.
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (e.g., "the policy found little public support"). This also fits the idea of public backing/approval for a concept (private enterprise/market economy).
5.  **Select the best fit:** Both 2 and 3 are very close. However, Sense 3 uses the phrase "public support" in its example ("the policy found little public support"), which directly mirrors the context where a percentage of respondents (the public) are expressing their approval for a policy/system (private enterprise/market economy). Sense 2 is also good, but Sense 3 captures the abstract, non-material nature of the approval (a belief or opinion) slightly better in this specific context of public opinion polling.
6.  **Final check:** The context is about rising *approval* (support) for an economic system. Sense 3 ("something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest") is the most precise fit for abstract public endorsement.

1. sense_key=respondent%1:18:01:: | definition=the codefendant (especially in a divorce proceeding) who is accused of adultery with the corespondent
2. sense_key=respondent%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who responds | synonyms=responder, answerer

Analysis:
The context discusses economic performance, private enterprise, market economy, and percentages of people ("some 71% of respondents across the region say..."). This strongly suggests that "respondents" refers to people who have given answers or participated in a survey/poll.

Sense 1 relates to legal proceedings (divorce, adultery). This is completely irrelevant to the context of economic surveys and public opinion.
Sense 2 defines "someone who responds" and provides synonyms like "responder" and "answerer." This perfectly matches the usage in the context (people who responded to a survey/poll).

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the correct choice.

Context:
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 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 <t>development</t>, 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 context:** The sentence is: "some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for <t>development</t>, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6)."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'development' in this context:** The context discusses economic performance, market economy, private enterprise, and progress in Latin American countries (Brazil, Mexico, Central America). 'Development' here refers to the improvement, advancement, or maturation of a country's economy or society.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining (General improvement/refinement). Plausible, but perhaps too general.
    *   2. a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage). Synonyms: evolution. This strongly matches the idea of economic/societal advancement.
    *   3. (biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically. Incorrect (biological).
    *   4. a recent event that has some relevance for the present situation. Incorrect (a specific event).
    *   5. the act of making some area of land or water more profitable or productive or useful. (Land/resource development). Possible, but the context is broader (economic/societal), not just land use.
    *   6. a district that has been developed to serve some purpose. Incorrect (a physical area).
    *   7. a state in which things are improving; the result of developing. This is very close to sense 2, focusing on the *state* or *result* of improvement.
    *   8. processing a photosensitive material. Incorrect (photography).
    *   9. (music) the section of a composition. Incorrect (music).
4.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 2, 7):**
    *   Sense 1: "act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining."
    *   Sense 2: "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)." (Synonym: evolution).
    *   Sense 7: "a state in which things are improving; the result of developing."
5.  **Select the best fit:** When discussing national economies and progress, 'development' refers to the long-term, gradual process of moving to a more advanced stage (economic development, national development). Sense 2 captures this process of gradual advancement/maturation most accurately, aligning perfectly with the concept of economic progress mentioned earlier in the text ("widely shared sense of progress"). Sense 7 is also good, but Sense 2 emphasizes the *process* which is inherent in economic development.

6.  **Final Check:** "Private enterprise is indispensable for [the process of a country becoming more advanced/mature]." This matches Sense 2.

    *   9. `system%1:07:00`: Ordered manner; orderliness. (Too general; lacks the specific connotation of rules/structure.)

5.  **Compare the best candidates (2 and 4):**
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *elements* (interrelated parts).
    *   Sense 4 focuses on the *rules/methods* (governing behavior).
    *   When discussing "market economy," the primary concept being referenced is the *structure of rules and mechanisms* (supply/demand, private ownership, etc.) that govern economic behavior. Sense 4, "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior," captures this regulatory and structural nature most accurately in an economic context.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the best fit.

    *   **sense_key=country%1:14:00:** | definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | *Relevance:* High. This fits the political/governmental context (market economy, development, nation).

    *   **sense_key=country%1:14:01:** | definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | *Relevance:* Low. The sentence refers to the *thing* that will be developed, not the people themselves.
    *   **sense_key=country%1:15:01:** | definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | *Relevance:* Very Low. This is a geographical/locational sense, completely irrelevant to the economic discussion.
    *   **sense_key=country%1:15:02:** | definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | *Relevance:* Medium. While it is a region, sense 1 is a much stronger fit because the discussion is explicitly about political systems (market economy) and national development.

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("a politically organized body of people under a single government") is the most precise fit because the context is about national development and the adoption of a specific political/economic system (market economy).

6.  **Final check:** The phrase "make their country developed" in a political/economic survey context refers to the nation-state. Sense 1 captures this best.

5.  **Format the output:** The instruction requires a JSON object with the sense index. Since the provided candidates are numbered 1 and 2, and Sense 2 is the correct one, the index is 2. (Wait, the instructions ask to return only a JSON object exactly like `{"sense_index": 3}`. I must use the index corresponding to the chosen sense.)

    *   Sense 1 -> Index 1
    *   Sense 2 -> Index 2

    The correct index is 2.
