The current settlements are the first of their kind. The regulator had also approached other major banks and sued JPMorgan Chase, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Goldman Sachs in the summer. The dubious mortgage securities are so-called mortgage-backed securities. They are underpinned by home loans. This sealed the fate of a number of financial companies when the US property bubble exploded in 2007. The US investment bank, Lehman Brothers, went belly-up in September 2008 at the height of the financial <t>crisis</t>. The banks battling against a strong wind in the USA several years later.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the target word "crisis" in the given context.

Context: "The US investment bank, Lehman Brothers, went belly-up in September 2008 at the height of the financial <t>crisis</t>. The banks battling against a strong wind in the USA several years later."

Target word: crisis

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=crisis%1:26:00:: | definition=an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty | examples=they went bankrupt during the economic crisis
2. sense_key=crisis%1:11:00:: | definition=a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something | examples=after the crisis the patient either dies or gets better

Analysis:
The context mentions "Lehman Brothers, went belly-up" and "financial crisis." This refers to a severe economic downturn (the 2008 financial crisis).

Sense 1 definition: "an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty."
Sense 1 example: "they went bankrupt during the economic crisis."
This aligns perfectly with the context (Lehman Brothers going belly-up during a financial crisis).

Sense 2 definition: "a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something."
Sense 2 example: "after the crisis the patient either dies or gets better."
This relates more to medical or developmental turning points, not the economic collapse described.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context analysis:
"The regulator had also approached other major banks and sued JPMorgan Chase, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Goldman Sachs in the summer. The dubious mortgage securities are so-called mortgage-backed securities. They are underpinned by home loans. This sealed the fate of a number of financial companies when the US property bubble exploded in 2007.

Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish misconduct."

Key clues:
1. "major banks" (mentioned early, followed by specific financial institutions: JPMorgan Chase, Royal Bank of Scotland, Goldman Sachs).
2. Discussion of "mortgage securities," "home loans," "financial companies," "US investment bank, Lehman Brothers," and "financial crisis."
3. The context is entirely about the financial sector and banking institutions.

Target word: "banks" (plural).

Candidate sense evaluation:
1. sloping land (river bank): Incorrect. Context is financial.
2. a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities: Highly relevant. This matches the discussion of JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, financial crisis, and mortgage loans.
3. a long ridge or pile: Incorrect.
4. an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers: Incorrect.
5. a supply or stock held in reserve for future use: Possible, but less likely than the institutional sense, given the specific names mentioned.
6. the funds held by a gambling house: Incorrect.
7. a slope in the turn of a road or track: Incorrect.
8. a container (money box): Incorrect.
9. a building in which the business of banking transacted: Possible, but sense 2 (the institution itself) is a better fit for "major banks" in this context.
10. a flight maneuver: Incorrect.

Conclusion: The context overwhelmingly points to the meaning of a financial institution. Sense 2 is the best fit.

Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish misconduct."

Target word: "wind"
Collocation: "battling against a strong wind"
Domain: Financial crisis, banking, economic downturn.

Candidate senses:
1. air moving (physical wind)
2. a tendency or force that influences events (metaphorical force/trend)
3. breath (exhalation)
4. empty rhetoric
5. indication of potential opportunity (tip/lead)
6. musical instrument
7. intestinal gas expulsion
8. act of winding/twisting

Analysis:
The phrase "battling against a strong wind" in the context of banks facing a financial crisis strongly suggests a metaphorical meaning. They are not battling physical air currents (Sense 1), nor are they battling breath (Sense 3), rhetoric (Sense 4), or any of the other literal/physical senses.

Sense 2: "a tendency or force that influences events" (examples: the winds of change). This perfectly matches the metaphorical usage where the economic downturn/crisis is described as a powerful, influential force ("wind") that the banks are struggling against.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

Analysis:
The context discusses financial crises, mortgage securities, investment banks (JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers), and regulators.
The phrase containing the target word is: "The banks battling against a strong wind in the USA several years later."

The context clearly relates to the economic and financial landscape of a specific country.

Sense 1 refers to the political entity, the United States of America. This fits perfectly with the discussion of financial crises and banks operating within a national economy.
Sense 2 refers to the military (United States Army). This is completely irrelevant to the surrounding text about banks and financial markets.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct choice.

Analysis:
The phrase is "several years later." This indicates a duration of time following a previous event (the financial crisis in 2008).

1. Sense 1 (a period of time containing 365/366 days): This is the standard definition of a calendar year and fits perfectly with describing a duration of time ("several years later").
2. Sense 2 (a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year for activity): This refers to specific periods like academic years, which doesn't fit the context of a general duration following a crisis.
3. Sense 3 (orbital period): This refers to astronomical years, which is irrelevant here.
4. Sense 4 (group of students): This is completely irrelevant.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target word: `regulators` (plural of `regulator`).
    *   Context sentence: "Investors and <t>regulators</t> have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish misconduct."
    *   Surrounding context: The passage discusses the 2007 financial crisis, mortgage-backed securities, Lehman Brothers going belly-up, and financial companies battling a strong wind. The claims are for compensation or to punish misconduct related to this financial crisis.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `regulator%1:06:00` :: definition=any of various controls or devices for regulating or controlling fluid flow, pressure, temperature, etc. (Physical device/mechanism).
    *   **Sense 2:** `regulator%1:18:00` :: definition=an official responsible for control and supervision of a particular activity or area of public interest (Person/Authority).
    *   **Sense 3:** `regulator%1:06:01` :: definition=a control that maintains a steady speed in a machine (as by controlling the supply of fuel) | synonyms=governor (Mechanical device).

3.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context involves "Investors" and "regulators" bringing "claims for compensation or to punish misconduct" related to a massive financial crisis.
    *   *Sense 1 (Fluid/Pressure device)*: Irrelevant to financial misconduct or claims.
    *   *Sense 3 (Speed control device/Governor)*: Irrelevant to financial misconduct or claims.
    *   *Sense 2 (Official responsible for control and supervision)*: Highly relevant. In the context of a financial crisis and misconduct, "regulators" refers to government agencies or officials (like the FHFA mentioned later in the text) who oversee and police the financial industry.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the clear and best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "claims" (plural of "claim") in the given context.

Context: "Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of <t>claims</t> for compensation or to punish misconduct. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of claims."

The word "claims" is used in the context of investors and regulators bringing them "for compensation or to punish misconduct."

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=claim%1:10:00:: | definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages**
   * This fits well. Compensation is a form of money/property right.

2. **sense_key=claim%1:10:02:: | definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims**
   * This refers to making a statement of fact (e.g., "The company claims to be solvent"). While related to assertion, the context here is about seeking financial redress ("for compensation").

3. **sense_key=claim%1:04:00:: | definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day**
   * This also fits very well. Seeking compensation is a demand for something rightful/due.

4. **sense_key=claim%1:07:02:: | definition=an informal right to something | synonyms=title | examples=his claim on her attentions; his title to fame**
   * This is about informal rights, which is too narrow and doesn't capture the legal/financial nature of the context.

5. **sense_key=claim%1:07:01:: | definition=an established or recognized right | synonyms=title | examples=a strong legal claim to the property; he had no documents confirming his title to his father's estate**
   * This is about established rights (like property title), but the context is about *bringing* claims for compensation, which is an action based on a perceived right, rather than the right itself being established in the sense of ownership documents.

6. **sense_key=claim%1:10:01:: | definition=a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty**
   * This is too specific and doesn't match the context of financial compensation.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
* Sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)"
* Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due"

In the context "brought a vast number of claims for compensation," the claims are essentially formal demands (legal actions) seeking money (compensation). Both senses are highly relevant.

Sense 3 ("demand for something as rightful or due") captures the active nature of the legal action (bringing a claim) and the purpose (compensation/punishment).
Sense 1 ("an assertion of a right (as to money or property)") focuses on the underlying legal status.

However, in legal and financial contexts, when people "bring claims for compensation," they are making a formal *demand*. Sense 3 seems slightly more precise for the action described in the sentence structure ("brought a vast number of claims for compensation").

Let's re-examine the examples:
Sense 1 example: "his claim asked for damages" (Focuses on the assertion/request).
Sense 3 example: "they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day" (Focuses on the demand).

Since the context is about seeking compensation/punishment, which is a demand for financial redress, Sense 3 is the most fitting description of the function of these claims.

I will choose Sense 3.

Target lemma: compensation

Context:
The dubious mortgage securities are so-called mortgage-backed securities. They are underpinned by home loans. This sealed the fate of a number of financial companies when the US property bubble exploded in 2007. The US investment bank, Lehman Brothers, went belly-up in September 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. The banks battling against a strong wind in the USA several years later. Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for <t>compensation</t> or to punish misconduct. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of claims.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=compensation%1:21:00:: | definition=something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation (as for a service or loss or injury)
2. sense_key=compensation%1:22:00:: | definition=(psychiatry) a defense mechanism that conceals your undesirable shortcomings by exaggerating desirable behaviors

Context: "Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for <t>compensation</t> or to punish misconduct. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of claims."

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=compensation%1:21:00:: | definition=something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation (as for a service or loss or injury)
2. sense_key=compensation%1:22:00:: | definition=(psychiatry) a defense mechanism that conceals your undesirable shortcomings by exaggerating desirable behaviors
3. sense_key=compensation%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of compensating for service or loss or injury | synonyms=recompense

Analysis:
The context discusses financial crisis, mortgage-backed securities, financial companies going bankrupt, and "claims for compensation."
When people bring "claims" in a financial or legal context, they are typically seeking payment or reparation for losses incurred (e.g., financial losses due to the crisis).

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=compensation%1:21:00**: "something (such as money) given or received as payment or reparation (as for a service or loss or injury)". This perfectly matches the context of investors making claims for financial losses.
2. **sense_key=compensation%1:22:00**: "(psychiatry) a defense mechanism...". This is clearly irrelevant to the financial context.
3. **sense_key=compensation%1:04:00**: "the act of compensating for service or loss or injury | synonyms=recompense". This refers to the *act* (the process), while the context refers to what the investors are *seeking* (the payment/reparation). While related, sense 1 describes the *thing* being claimed (the payment/reparation), which is the more direct fit for "claims for compensation."

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
The phrase is "claims for compensation."
If compensation is the *act* (Sense 3), the phrase would be slightly awkward, though possible.
If compensation is the *payment/reparation* (Sense 1), the phrase "claims for [payment/reparation]" is standard legal/financial terminology.

Sense 1 is the most precise fit for the noun being sought in a legal/financial claim scenario.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best choice.

Context: "Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish <t>misconduct</t>. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of claims."

Target word: misconduct

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=misconduct%1:04:01:: | definition=bad or dishonest management by persons supposed to act on another's behalf
2. sense_key=misconduct%1:04:00:: | definition=activity that transgresses moral or civil law | synonyms=wrongdoing, wrongful conduct, actus reus | examples=he denied any wrongdoing

Analysis:
The context discusses financial crisis, investment banks (Lehman Brothers), regulators, and claims for compensation or punishment. The punishment is directed at "misconduct."

Sense 1: "bad or dishonest management by persons supposed to act on another's behalf." This relates specifically to fiduciary duty or management failure, which is highly relevant in the context of financial institutions and regulators.

Sense 2: "activity that transgresses moral or civil law." This is a broader definition of wrongdoing.

Comparing the senses:
The context is about financial institutions (banks, FHFA) and the actions of people within them (implied by the need for regulators to punish).
Sense 1 focuses on *management* and *dishonest action by those in charge* (e.g., executives, financial advisors), which fits perfectly with the idea of systemic failure or deliberate malfeasance in the financial sector.
Sense 2 is general wrongdoing. While financial misconduct is a form of wrongdoing, Sense 1 provides a more specific and precise fit for the corporate/regulatory context described (banks, claims against institutions).

The phrase "to punish misconduct" in this financial context strongly suggests professional or managerial malfeasance.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

4. sense_key=wave%1:11:02:: | definition=something that rises rapidly | examples=a wave of emotion swept over him; there was a sudden wave of buying before the market closed (Relates to rapid increase/sudden occurrence) -> Highly likely.

9. sense_key=wave%1:18:00:: | definition=a member of the women's reserve of the United States Navy (Military) -> Unlikely.

Contextual analysis:
The sentence is: "The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of claims."
"Claims" refers to legal or financial demands for compensation.
The "wave of claims" suggests a large, sudden, or widespread increase in these claims.

Comparing the highly likely senses (2 and 4):
Sense 2: "a movement like that of a sudden occurrence or increase in a specified phenomenon." (e.g., a wave of settlers)
Sense 4: "something that rises rapidly." (e.g., a sudden wave of buying)

Both sense 2 and sense 4 capture the meaning of a large, sudden influx or increase. Sense 2's definition ("a movement like that of a sudden occurrence or increase in a specified phenomenon") is a very general fit for "wave of claims." Sense 4 ("something that rises rapidly") is also a good fit, especially when paired with the example "a wave of emotion swept over him."

Since the context is about a large volume of claims (a phenomenon), Sense 2 seems the most precise fit for describing a surge or increase in a specific type of event (claims).

Let's re-examine the definitions:
Sense 2: "a movement like that of a sudden occurrence or increase in a specified phenomenon."
Sense 4: "something that rises rapidly."

"Wave of claims" means a large, sudden influx of claims. Both definitions cover this. However, Sense 2 explicitly uses the phrase "sudden occurrence or increase in a specified phenomenon," which perfectly matches "claims."

I will choose Sense 2.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "claims" (lemma: claim) based on the provided context.

Context: "Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish misconduct. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of <t>claims</t>. It accuses 18 major international banks of having taken in US lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on mortgage transactions valued at around 200 billion dollars."

The word "claims" appears in two contexts:
1. "Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish misconduct."
2. "The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been behind the largest wave of claims."

In both instances, the claims relate to financial issues, compensation, and legal/regulatory actions (punishing misconduct, mortgage transactions).

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=claim%1:10:00::** | definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages.
    * This fits perfectly. Compensation and punishing misconduct relate to asserting a right to money or damages.

2. **sense_key=claim%1:10:02::** | definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims.
    * This is about making a statement (e.g., "The bank is corrupt"). While related, the context here is about *demands* for compensation, not just factual assertions.

3. **sense_key=claim%1:04:00::** | definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day.
    * This is also a very strong fit. "Claims for compensation" is a specific type of "demand for something as rightful or due."

4. **sense_key=claim%1:07:02::** | definition=an informal right to something | synonyms=title | examples=his claim on her attentions; his title to fame.
    * Too informal and personal. Not relevant to financial/legal claims.

5. **sense_key=claim%1:07:01::** | definition=an established or recognized right | synonyms=title | examples=a strong legal claim to the property; he had no documents confirming his title to his father's estate.
    * This is about ownership/title, not necessarily a demand for compensation arising from a financial crisis.

6. **sense_key=claim%1:10:01::** | definition=a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty.
    * This is too specific (like "call of duty") and doesn't capture the legal/financial nature of the context.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
* Sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)"
* Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due"

The context explicitly mentions "claims for compensation or to punish misconduct."
"Compensation" is a demand for money/property (Sense 1).
"Demand for something as rightful or due" (Sense 3) is essentially synonymous with demanding compensation or damages.

Sense 1 is slightly more precise because it specifies the nature of the right: "as to money or property," which directly relates to "compensation" and financial misconduct in the context of banks and mortgages.

Let's re-examine the examples:
Sense 1 example: "his claim asked for damages." (Directly related to compensation/money).
Sense 3 example: "they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day." (A demand for a benefit/right).

Both are excellent fits. However, given the highly financial and legal nature of the text (Lehman Brothers, FHFA, mortgage transactions, compensation), Sense 1, which anchors the claim specifically to "money or property," is the most accurate and fine-grained choice.

I will select Sense 1.

The text discusses the financial crisis of 2007-2008, involving US property bubbles, investment banks (Lehman Brothers), financial institutions (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Deutsche Bank), mortgage transactions, and large monetary values (200 billion, 14.2 billion).
The specific phrase is: "...on mortgage transactions valued at around 200 billion <t>dollars</t>." and "...a total value of 14.2 billion dollars from 2005 to 2007."

The word "dollars" here refers to the unit of currency used to quantify the value of these financial transactions.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=dollar%1:23:00:: | definition=the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents
2. sense_key=dollar%1:21:00:: | definition=a piece of paper money worth one dollar | synonyms=dollar bill, one dollar bill, buck, clam
3. sense_key=dollar%1:21:01:: | definition=a United States coin worth one dollar | examples=the dollar coin has never been popular in the United States
4. sense_key=dollar%1:10:00:: | definition=a symbol of commercialism or greed | synonyms=dollar mark, dollar sign | examples=he worships the almighty dollar; the dollar sign means little to him

Evaluation:
The context refers to "200 billion dollars" and "14.2 billion dollars" as a measure of transaction value. This requires the general concept of the currency unit, not specifically a physical bill or coin, nor a symbolic representation of greed.

Sense 1: "the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents." This perfectly matches the usage of "dollars" as a unit of account for large financial transactions.
Sense 2: "a piece of paper money worth one dollar." Too specific (one dollar bill).
Sense 3: "a United States coin worth one dollar." Too specific (one dollar coin).
Sense 4: "a symbol of commercialism or greed." Incorrect meaning in this context.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context: "Deutsche Bank also faces legal action by the FHFA covering multiple transactions with a total <t>value</t> of 14.2 billion dollars from 2005 to 2007."

Target word: value
Contextual meaning: The total amount of money involved in multiple transactions.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=value%1:09:00:: | definition=a numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed | examples=the value assigned was 16 milliseconds
2. sense_key=value%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality (positive or negative) that renders something desirable or valuable | examples=the Shakespearean Shylock is of dubious value in the modern world
3. sense_key=value%1:21:00:: | definition=the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else | synonyms=economic value | examples=he tried to estimate the value of the produce at normal prices

6. sense_key=value%1:09:01:: | definition=an ideal accepted by some individual or group | examples=he has old-fashioned values

Analysis:
The phrase is "a total value of 14.2 billion dollars". This clearly refers to a monetary amount or the total worth of the transactions.

Let's check the candidates:
1. "a numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed." This is broad, but fits.
2. "the quality (positive or negative) that renders something desirable or valuable." This refers to inherent worth/quality, not a specific monetary total. (e.g., "The value of honesty"). Does not fit "14.2 billion dollars".
3. "the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else." This definition specifically includes "amount (of money...)" and relates to economic/transactional worth. This is a very strong fit.
4. "relative darkness or lightness of a color." Irrelevant.
5. "the relative duration of a musical note." Irrelevant.
6. "an ideal accepted by some individual or group." Irrelevant.

Comparing 1 and 3:
Sense 1 is general ("numerical quantity").
Sense 3 is specific ("the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else)"), and explicitly mentions "amount (of money)". Since the context is a financial transaction total ("14.2 billion dollars"), Sense 3 is the most precise and appropriate fit.

Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best choice.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "dollars" in the provided context.
The target lemma is "dollar".
The target surface form is "dollars".

Context snippet:
"Deutsche Bank also faces legal action by the FHFA covering multiple transactions with a total value of 14.2 billion <t>dollars</t> from 2005 to 2007."

The word "dollars" is used here to quantify the value of financial transactions (14.2 billion).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=dollar%1:23:00:: | definition=the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents
2. sense_key=dollar%1:21:00:: | definition=a piece of paper money worth one dollar | synonyms=dollar bill, one dollar bill, buck, clam

4. sense_key=dollar%1:10:00:: | definition=a symbol of commercialism or greed | synonyms=dollar mark, dollar sign | examples=he worships the almighty dollar; the dollar sign means little to him

Analysis:
The context refers to "a total value of 14.2 billion dollars." This usage refers to the general unit of currency used for large financial transactions, not specifically a physical bill (sense 2) or a physical coin (sense 3), nor is it used metaphorically (sense 4).

Sense 1: "the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents." This perfectly matches the usage of "dollars" as a unit of account for a large sum of money.

Sense 2 and 3 are too specific (physical forms: bill or coin).
Sense 4 is metaphorical.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target word: "bank" (the one referring to the Frankfurt-based entity).

Analysis of the context:
The surrounding text discusses "Investors and regulators," "claims for compensation," "misconduct," "major international banks," "mortgage transactions," "legal action," and "regulator is demanding that the Frankfurt-based bank take responsibility for 'substantial losses'."
This context clearly relates to financial institutions and banking activities.

Evaluation of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=bank%1:17:01:: | definition=sloping land... (Geographical) -> Incorrect.
2. sense_key=bank%1:14:00:: | definition=a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels the money into lending activities | synonyms=depository financial institution, banking concern, banking company -> Highly relevant. This matches the context of international banks, mortgage transactions, and financial claims.
3. sense_key=bank%1:17:00:: | definition=a long ridge or pile -> Incorrect.
4. sense_key=bank%1:14:01:: | definition=an arrangement of similar objects in a row or in tiers -> Incorrect.
5. sense_key=bank%1:21:00:: | definition=a supply or stock held in reserve for future use -> Incorrect (though related to finance, the entity itself is the institution).
6. sense_key=bank%1:21:01:: | definition=the funds held by a gambling house... -> Incorrect.
7. sense_key=bank%1:17:02:: | definition=a slope in the turn of a road or track -> Incorrect.
8. sense_key=bank%1:06:01:: | definition=a container (usually with a slot in the top) for keeping money at home -> Incorrect (this is a piggy bank/money box).
9. sense_key=bank%1:06:00:: | definition=a building in which the business of banking transacted -> Possible, but sense 2 is broader and more accurate for referring to the institution itself (Deutsche Bank is an institution, not just a building).
10. sense_key=bank%1:04:00:: | definition=a flight maneuver... -> Incorrect.

Conclusion:
Sense 2, defining a financial institution, is the best fit, as the text is entirely about major international financial institutions facing legal and regulatory action regarding mortgage transactions.

The index for sense 2 is bank%1:14:00.

Analysis:
The sentence is: "The regulator is demanding that the Frankfurt-based bank take responsibility for 'substantial losses,' but has not yet specified the exact sum."

The context involves legal action, claims, misconduct, and financial losses. The regulator (FHFA) is demanding that Deutsche Bank "take responsibility" for these losses. This implies accountability for the negative outcome.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Sense 1 (duty, obligation): While related to obligation, this sense focuses more on a moral or social binding force (e.g., "every right implies a responsibility"). In a legal/financial context regarding losses, the focus is usually on accountability for the action/outcome, not just a general moral duty.
2. Sense 2 (proper sphere or extent of activities): This means jurisdiction or scope (e.g., "it was his province"). This does not fit the context of taking blame for losses.
3. Sense 3 (a form of trustworthiness; the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one's conduct): This definition perfectly matches the idea of being accountable for losses or misconduct. When a bank "takes responsibility" for losses, it means it accepts accountability for the financial damage.

Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best fit.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "The regulator is demanding that the Frankfurt-based bank take responsibility for 'substantial losses,' but has not yet specified the exact <t>sum</t>."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'sum' in context:** Here, 'sum' refers to the specific, exact amount of the "substantial losses." It is a quantifiable total value.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. `sum%1:21:00`: a quantity of money. (Fits the context of "losses" and "amount.")
    *   2. `sum%1:09:01`: a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers. (Fits the idea of a total, but perhaps too mathematical/process-oriented.)
    *   3. `sum%1:14:00`: the final aggregate. (Refers to the result of aggregation, which is what the 'losses' total is.)
    *   4. `sum%1:09:00`: the choicest or most essential part. (Incorrect. This is about essence/gist.)
    *   5. `sum%1:06:00`: the whole amount. (A general term for total.)
    *   6. `sum%1:14:01`: a set containing all and only the members of two or more given sets. (Incorrect. This is set theory.)
4.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 2, 3, 5):**
    *   The losses are a monetary value.
    *   Sense 1 (`a quantity of money`) is highly specific and accurate for "losses."
    *   Sense 5 (`the whole amount`) is also accurate but less specific than Sense 1 regarding the nature of the quantity (money).
    *   Sense 2 (`a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers`) is too technical.
    *   Sense 3 (`the final aggregate`) is abstract.
5.  **Select the best fit:** Since the context involves financial losses ("substantial losses"), the most precise meaning is a specific quantity of money. Sense 1 captures this perfectly.

6.  **Final check:** Context: "exact sum" of "substantial losses." Sense 1: "a quantity of money." This is the best match.

Deutsche Bank also faces legal action by the FHFA covering multiple transactions with a total value of 14.2 billion dollars from 2005 to 2007. The regulator is demanding that the Frankfurt-based bank take responsibility for "substantial losses," but has not yet specified the exact sum. Deutsche Bank has rejected the <t>claims</t> as baseless and has declared its intention to fend off the claims.

Analysis of the context:
"Investors and regulators have brought a vast number of claims for compensation or to punish misconduct." (This sets the legal/financial context).
"Deutsche Bank has rejected the claims as baseless and has declared its intention to fend off the claims."

The claims here are related to financial losses, compensation, and legal action against the bank. They are demands for money or redress.

Evaluating the senses:
1. sense_key=claim%1:10:00: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)". This fits perfectly with compensation and legal demands for financial losses.
2. sense_key=claim%1:10:02: "an assertion that something is true or factual". While a claim can be an assertion of fact, in this legal/financial context, the primary meaning is a demand for remedy, not just a statement of fact.
3. sense_key=claim%1:04:00: "demand for something as rightful or due". This is very close to sense 1 and captures the essence of a legal demand for compensation.
4. sense_key=claim%1:07:02 & 5. sense_key=claim%1:07:01: These relate to informal or established rights/titles, which is less specific to the financial/legal demands for compensation mentioned in the text.
6. sense_key=claim%1:10:01: This is too general ("a demand especially in the phrase").

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1: "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)"
Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due"

The context explicitly mentions "claims for compensation or to punish misconduct." This strongly points to a demand for money or property (compensation).
Sense 1 explicitly includes "(as to money or property)," making it the most precise fit for the financial/legal nature of the claims described. Sense 3 is also good, but Sense 1 is more specific to the domain (money/property).

Therefore, sense_key=claim%1:10:00 is the best choice.
