Target lemma: washington
Target surface form: Washington
Context:
The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term. The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward. But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week. Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term. And it provides a range of options for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate. It gives a lot of flexibility to the process, said John Coequyt, senior <t>Washington</t> representative for the Sierra Club. Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture."

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "It gives a lot of flexibility to the process, said John Coequyt, senior <t>Washington</t> representative for the Sierra Club."
2.  **Identify the target word:** Washington.
3.  **Analyze the role of the target word in the context:** "John Coequyt, senior Washington representative for the Sierra Club." Here, "Washington" modifies "representative." It indicates the location or affiliation of the representative.
4.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. The capital of the United States (Washington D.C.). (Location/Place)
    *   2. A state in northwestern United States (Washington State). (Location/Place)
    *   3. The federal government of the United States. (Institution/Entity)
    *   4. 1st President of the United States (George Washington). (Person)
    *   5. United States educator (Booker T. Washington). (Person)
5.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   If "Washington" refers to the President (4) or Booker T. Washington (5), the phrase would likely be "senior George Washington representative" or "senior Booker T. Washington representative," which is unlikely for a general representative title.
    *   If "Washington" refers to the government (3), the phrase would be "senior Washington government representative," which is grammatically possible but less common than specifying the location.
    *   If "Washington" refers to the capital (1) or the state (2), it functions as a geographical identifier.
6.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 (D.C.) and Sense 2 (State):**
    *   The Sierra Club is a national environmental organization. Representatives often operate out of the capital (D.C.) when dealing with federal policy, or they might be based in a specific state.
    *   In the context of climate negotiations and policy (the preceding text discusses U.N. conferences, greenhouse gas reductions, and policymakers), a representative based in the *capital* (D.C.) is the most logical fit, as they would be interacting with federal agencies and policymakers.
    *   Sense 1: "the capital of the United States in the District of Columbia."
    *   Sense 2: "a state in northwestern United States on the Pacific."
7.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 (Washington D.C.) is the strongest fit because the context is high-level national/international policy making, making the capital the most probable base of operations for a senior representative.
8.  **Final check:** "senior Washington representative" most likely means "senior representative based in Washington D.C."

9.  **Format the output:** Return the JSON object with the correct sense index. (Sense 1 corresponds to index 1).

Target word: representative

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=representative%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who represents others
2. sense_key=representative%1:18:02:: | definition=an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose | synonyms=spokesperson, interpreter, voice | examples=the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government

4. sense_key=representative%1:09:00:: | definition=an item of information that is typical of a class or group | synonyms=example, illustration, instance | examples=this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome; there is an example on page 10

Analysis:
The phrase is "senior Washington representative for the Sierra Club."
The Sierra Club is an environmental organization.
John Coequyt is associated with this organization and is described as a "representative."
This suggests he is a person who acts on behalf of the Sierra Club (or perhaps a specific group within it) in Washington D.C.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **a person who represents others:** This is a general definition covering someone who acts as an agent or delegate. This fits the context well.
2. **an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose:** This is a more specific type of person who represents others, focusing on policy/advocacy. Since the Sierra Club is an advocacy group, this is also a very strong fit.
3. **a member of the United States House of Representatives:** While he is in Washington, the context does not state he is a politician or a member of Congress. He is a representative *for* the Sierra Club, not necessarily *of* the US government. This sense is too narrow and likely incorrect.
4. **an item of information that is typical of a class or group:** This is the noun sense referring to an example or instance. This is clearly incorrect as the word modifies "John Coequyt" (a person).

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1: "a person who represents others" (General)
Sense 2: "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose" (Specific, focusing on advocacy/policy)

Since the Sierra Club is an advocacy group, and his role is likely to lobby or speak on behalf of the club's interests (policy/purpose), Sense 2 is the most precise and nuanced fit. He is a representative *for* the Sierra Club's interests.

I will choose Sense 2.

    *   Surrounding text discusses a "final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases," "negotiation," "U.N. ad-hoc working group," and "180-page negotiation text."

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (document%1:10:00):** | definition=writing that provides information (especially information of an official nature) | synonyms=written document, papers.
        *   *Relevance:* High. The context is about a negotiation text/political deal, which is an official writing providing information.
    *   **Sense 2 (document%1:06:00):** | definition=anything serving as a representation of a person's thinking by means of symbolic marks.
        *   *Relevance:* Too broad. While a document is a representation of thought, this definition is overly general (e.g., a drawing, a diagram). Sense 1 is more specific to the *type* of document in this context.
    *   **Sense 3 (document%1:21:00):** | definition=a written account of ownership or obligation.
        *   *Relevance:* Low. This refers specifically to legal/financial instruments (like deeds or contracts). While the negotiation might involve obligations, the word here refers to the *text* itself, not a specific legal instrument of ownership.
    *   **Sense 4 (document%1:10:01):** | definition=(computer science) a computer file that contains text (and possibly formatting instructions) using seven-bit ASCII characters | synonyms=text file.
        *   *Relevance:* Low. Although the document might exist digitally, the context refers to a physical/political negotiation text ("six-page," "180-page negotiation text"), making the general definition of a written/official text (Sense 1) more appropriate than the technical file format (Sense 4).

3.  **Compare and select the best fit:**
    *   The context describes a "six-page document" that was "drafted" and is a "negotiation text" related to international climate policy. This strongly aligns with a formal, official piece of writing containing information.
    *   Sense 1 ("writing that provides information (especially information of an official nature)") is the most precise fit for a high-level political/negotiation text.

4.  **Final check:** The chosen sense (Sense 1) matches the function and nature of the word in the sentence.

5.  **Format the output.** (The instruction requires returning only a JSON object with the sense index).

Target word: negotiation

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=negotiation%1:10:00:: | definition=a discussion intended to produce an agreement | synonyms=dialogue, talks | examples=the buyout negotiation lasted several days; they disagreed but kept an open dialogue
2. sense_key=negotiation%1:04:00:: | definition=the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms

Analysis:
The context refers to a "180-page negotiation text." This text is a document resulting from discussions among world leaders (mentioned earlier in the passage) regarding a political deal to regulate greenhouse gases.

Sense 1: "a discussion intended to produce an agreement." This refers to the process or the discussion itself.
Sense 2: "the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms." This refers to the overall process or activity.

In the phrase "180-page negotiation text," the word "negotiation" is functioning as an adjective or a noun referring to the *product* or *record* of the negotiation process.

If it were Sense 1 (a discussion), the text *is* the discussion, which is plausible.
If it were Sense 2 (the activity/business), the text is the record of that activity.

However, when a document is described as a "negotiation text," it usually refers to the substance, the record, or the outcome of the talks. Both senses capture the essence of the process leading to an agreement.

Let's look closely at the difference:
Sense 1 focuses on the *event* (the discussion).
Sense 2 focuses on the *process/activity* (the business of negotiating).

Since the text is a formal document summarizing the efforts of world leaders to reach a political deal, it represents the culmination of the *activity* of negotiating. Both senses are very close.

However, in common usage, when referring to the document itself, it encapsulates the entire *activity* or *business* of coming to terms. Sense 2, "the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms," seems slightly broader and better fits the idea of a comprehensive, multi-faceted document summarizing complex talks.

Let's re-examine the examples:
Sense 1 example: "the buyout negotiation lasted several days" (refers to the event/talks).
Sense 2 definition: "the activity or business of negotiating an agreement" (refers to the overall process).

The context is about a massive, complex, multi-party effort (world leaders, U.N. climate official). This points strongly to the comprehensive *activity* (Sense 2).

I will choose Sense 2 as it best captures the scope of the document summarizing the entire complex process of reaching a global agreement.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "text" based on the provided context and candidate senses.

Context analysis:
The passage discusses a negotiation regarding greenhouse gases and climate change.
Key phrases:
1. "The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles..." (Here, 'text' refers to a document/report.)
2. "...the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones..." (The document/report is silent on this.)
3. "Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation <t>text</t> to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official... described as 'the big picture.'" (The 180-page negotiation 'text' is a document.)
4. "It shows the outlines for a possible deal..." (Referring back to the document/text.)

The word "text" clearly refers to a written document, report, or set of negotiated proposals.

Candidate senses analysis:
1. `text%1:10:00`: definition=the words of something written | synonyms=textual matter | examples=there were more than a thousand words of text; they handed out the printed text of the mayor's speech. (This fits the idea of written content/document.)
2. `text%1:10:03`: definition=a passage from the Bible that is used as the subject of a sermon. (Irrelevant.)
3. `text%1:10:02`: definition=a book prepared for use in schools or colleges | synonyms=textbook, text edition, schoolbook, school text. (This is a specific type of book, not a negotiation document.)
4. `text%1:10:01`: definition=the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.) | examples=pictures made the text easier to understand. (This refers to the body of writing, but sense 1 seems broader and more appropriate for a formal document/report.)

Comparison:
The context refers to a "six-page document" and a "180-page negotiation text." This is a formal written document containing specific content (obstacles, options, deal outlines).

Sense 1: "the words of something written" / "textual matter." This is a very general sense covering the content of a written work, which perfectly describes a negotiation document.
Sense 4: "the main body of a written work." While technically correct, Sense 1 captures the essence of the document itself (the content/matter) better than just the structural body, especially when referring to a complete negotiation outcome.

Given the options, Sense 1 is the most accurate and encompassing definition for a formal, written negotiation document.

Final check: The target instance is "a 180-page negotiation <t>text</t>". This is a body of textual matter resulting from negotiations. Sense 1 fits best.

The context is about international negotiations, greenhouse gases, global warming, carbon output, and global temperature rise.
The target word is "climate" in the phrase "the U.N.'s top <t>climate</t> official, Yvo de Boer, described as 'the big picture.'"

Candidate senses:

2. sense_key=climate%1:26:01:: | definition=the prevailing psychological state | synonyms=mood | examples=the climate of opinion; the national mood had changed radically since the last election

Analysis:
The surrounding text discusses "greenhouse gases," "global warming," "carbon output," and "global temperature rise." These topics are directly related to the scientific concept of climate (long-term weather patterns).
The phrase "the big picture" in this context refers to the overall situation regarding global environmental policy and warming trends.

Sense 1 relates to long-term weather patterns and environmental conditions (clime). This aligns perfectly with the discussion of global warming and emissions.
Sense 2 relates to psychological state or atmosphere (mood/opinion). This is irrelevant to the scientific/political context of the text.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct choice.

Context snippet: "Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate <t>official</t>, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture.""

Target word: official
Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=official%1:18:01:: | definition=a worker who holds or is invested with an office | synonyms=functionary
2. sense_key=official%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who administers the rules of a game or sport | examples=the golfer asked for an official who could give him a ruling

Analysis:
The context refers to "the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer."
Yvo de Boer is associated with the U.N. (United Nations) and is described as a "top climate official." This suggests a high-ranking representative or functionary within an international organization dealing with climate issues.

Sense 1: "a worker who holds or is invested with an office" (synonyms=functionary). This fits the description of a high-ranking representative/functionary in the U.N.
Sense 2: "someone who administers the rules of a game or sport." This is clearly irrelevant to a U.N. climate negotiation context.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct choice.

The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward. But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week.

Context: "Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as 'the big <t>picture</t>'."

Target word: "picture"
Contextual usage: "the big picture"

Analysis of "the big picture":
In this context, the speaker (Yvo de Boer) is referring to the overall scope, the complete view, or the general situation of the complex negotiation text. It is not a literal image, a mental image in the sense of a personal impression, or a visual representation. It refers to the comprehensive understanding or framework of the situation.

Reviewing the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=picture%1:06:00: visual representation (image, icon). (Literal image - unlikely)
2. sense_key=picture%1:06:01: graphic art (painting). (Art form - unlikely)
3. sense_key=picture%1:09:00: a clear and telling mental image. (Internal mental image - possible, but usually refers to a specific internal visualization, not the overall scope of a complex situation.)
4. sense_key=picture%1:26:00: a situation treated as an observable object. (Synonym: scene. Example: "the political picture is favorable." This aligns perfectly with "the big picture" meaning the overall situation or context.)
5. sense_key=picture%1:10:00: illustrations used to decorate or explain a text. (Diagrams/illustrations - unlikely)
6. sense_key=picture%1:10:02: form of entertainment (movie, film). (Media - unlikely)
7. sense_key=picture%1:10:01: visible part of a television transmission (video). (Media - unlikely)
8. sense_key=picture%1:10:03: graphic or vivid verbal description (word picture). (Descriptive language - unlikely)
9. sense_key=picture%1:09:01: a typical example of some state or quality. (Archetype - unlikely)
10. sense_key=picture%1:06:02: representation in print/slide (photograph). (Photography - unlikely)

The phrase "the big picture" is a common idiom meaning the overall context or general view of a situation. Sense 4, "a situation treated as an observable object," with the example "the political picture is favorable," is the best fit for this idiomatic usage.

Therefore, sense_key=picture%1:26:00 is the correct choice.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "outlines" (target surface form) based on the provided context.
The target lemma is "outline".
The context describes a document/text resulting from a negotiation process. This document summarizes a large negotiation text (180 pages) and focuses on "the big picture."
The specific sentence is: "It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=outline%1:15:00:: | definition=the line that appears to bound an object | synonyms=lineation (Physical boundary/drawing)
2. sense_key=outline%1:10:00:: | definition=a sketchy summary of the main points of an argument or theory | synonyms=synopsis, abstract, precis (Summary/overview)
3. sense_key=outline%1:09:00:: | definition=a schematic or preliminary plan | synonyms=schema, scheme (Plan/framework)

Analysis:
The context refers to a "six-page document" that "boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official... described as 'the big picture.'"
The phrase "It shows the outlines for a possible deal" refers to the structure or plan of this deal.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Sense 1 (line/boundary): This is physical and does not fit the context of a negotiation document or a "possible deal."
2. Sense 2 (sketchy summary): While the document is a summary, "outlines for a possible deal" suggests more than just a summary of existing arguments; it suggests the structure or framework of what the deal *will* look like.
3. Sense 3 (schematic or preliminary plan): This fits perfectly. The document provides the framework or preliminary plan ("outlines") for the future deal, detailing targets (emissions cuts by 2020, 2050).

Both Sense 2 and Sense 3 are plausible, as a plan often includes a summary. However, Sense 3, "a schematic or preliminary plan," captures the forward-looking, structural nature of the "possible deal" better than Sense 2, which emphasizes summarizing existing content. The document is setting out the *structure* of the agreement.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "emissions" in the provided context.
The target lemma is "emission".
The context is about a negotiation text regarding global warming and climate change.
The specific phrase is: "in which industrial nations would collectively cut their <t>emissions</t> by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050."

The context clearly relates to cutting carbon output and reducing greenhouse gases associated with industrial activity and climate change.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=emission%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth | synonyms=emanation**
   * This is the process or act. While related, the context refers to the *substance* being cut (carbon output).

2. **sense_key=emission%1:27:00:: | definition=a substance that is emitted or released | synonyms=discharge**
   * This refers to the material released. In the context of climate change and cutting carbon output, "emissions" refers to the gases (like CO2) released into the atmosphere. This fits perfectly.

3. **sense_key=emission%1:22:00:: | definition=the release of electrons from parent atoms**
   * This is a highly technical physics definition (atomic emission). Irrelevant to climate negotiations.

4. **sense_key=emission%1:22:01:: | definition=any of several bodily processes by which substances go out of the body | synonyms=discharge, expelling | examples=the discharge of pus**
   * This is a biological/medical definition. Irrelevant.

5. **sense_key=emission%1:11:00:: | definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe)**
   * This is a plumbing/fluid dynamics definition. Irrelevant.

The context ("cut their carbon output," "global warming," "industrial nations," "reduce theirs") strongly points to the release of atmospheric pollutants/gases. Sense 2, "a substance that is emitted or released," is the correct fit for greenhouse gas emissions.

Therefore, the best sense is sense_key=emission%1:27:00.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "levels" (surface form of "level") based on the provided context.

Context snippet:
"...in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 <t>levels</t>, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent."

The word "levels" here refers to the amount of emissions in 1990, against which future reductions are measured. This relates to a quantitative measure or a specific point in a series of measurements (time/emissions).

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=level%1:07:00:** definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | synonyms=degree, grade. (Fits well, as emissions are measured on a scale/amount).
2. **sense_key=level%1:26:01:** definition=a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | synonyms=grade, tier. (Less specific than sense 1, but related to grading/amount).
3. **sense_key=level%1:26:00:** definition=a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process | synonyms=degree, stage, point. (This emphasizes a specific point or stage in a continuum, which fits the idea of a baseline measurement (1990 levels) against which change is measured).
4. **sense_key=level%1:07:01:** definition=height above ground. (Irrelevant. Emissions are not physical height).
5. **sense_key=level%1:06:00:** definition=indicator that establishes the horizontal... (Irrelevant. Physical tool).
6. **sense_key=level%1:06:03:** definition=a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line. (Irrelevant. Physical surface).
7. **sense_key=level%1:09:00:** definition=an abstract place usually conceived as having depth. (Irrelevant. Not about layers of meaning or depth).
8. **sense_key=level%1:06:01:** definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms... (Irrelevant. Building floor).

Comparing the best candidates (1 and 3):

*   **Sense 1 (07:00):** "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality." This is very broad and accurate. "1990 levels" are a specific amount/intensity.
*   **Sense 3 (26:00):** "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process." This emphasizes the baseline nature of the 1990 measurement—it is a specific point (a baseline) in the continuum of emissions over time.

In the context of scientific/policy data (emissions reduction targets), "levels" often refers to the quantitative measurement at a specific point in time (a baseline or a target point). Sense 3 captures this idea of a specific, identifiable point in a continuum (time/emissions) very well. Sense 1 is also good, but Sense 3 is slightly more precise for a baseline measurement used for comparison.

Let's re-examine the phrasing: "compared with 1990 levels." This establishes the starting point (the baseline). Sense 3, defining a "specific identifiable position in a continuum," perfectly describes a baseline measurement.

Therefore, sense_key=level%1:26:00 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "period" in the given context.

Context:
"...while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same <t>period</t> by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050."

The word "period" refers to a span of time during which the reduction targets (15 to 30 percent) must be achieved by major developing countries. This span of time is implicitly related to the overall timeline of the agreement, which mentions targets by 2020 and 2050.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=period%1:28:00:: | definition=an amount of time | synonyms=time period, period of time | examples=a time period of 30 years; hastened the period of time of his recovery
2. sense_key=period%1:28:02:: | definition=the interval taken to complete one cycle of a regularly repeating phenomenon

Analysis:
The context uses "period" to denote a duration of time for achieving emission reduction targets.

Sense 1: "an amount of time" (synonyms: time period, period of time). This perfectly matches the usage in the sentence ("during the same period").
Sense 2: "the interval taken to complete one cycle of a regularly repeating phenomenon." This is too specific (cyclical/periodic events) and doesn't fit the general timeframe of a climate agreement.
Sense 3: Hockey division. Irrelevant.
Sense 4: Geological time. Irrelevant.
Sense 5: End or completion. While time periods have ends, the meaning here is the duration itself, not the conclusion.
Sense 6: Menstruation. Irrelevant.
Sense 7: Punctuation mark. Irrelevant.

Sense 1 is the clear and best fit.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target surface form: "countries" (plural of "country").
    *   Context sentences:
        *   "Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term."
        *   "...while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent."
        *   "Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050."
        *   "The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change..."
    *   The context discusses global warming, climate change, rich/poor nations, developing countries, and international agreements (U.N., European Union).

2.  **Determine the Meaning in Context:**
    *   In this context, "countries" refers to sovereign political entities (nations/states) that are involved in international climate negotiations and economic classifications (rich/poor, developed/developing).

3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**

    *   **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 | *Matches the concept of a sovereign political entity (nation/state).*
    *   **sense_key=country%1:15:00:** | definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | *Focuses on the physical territory, though related, the context emphasizes the political/economic entity.*
    *   **sense_key=country%1:14:01:** | definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | *Refers to inhabitants (people), not the political entity itself.*
    *   **sense_key=country%1:15:01:** | definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | *Refers to countryside/rural areas. Irrelevant.*
    *   **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 | *Refers to a region, which is too vague compared to the specific political/economic context.*

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 (14:00) perfectly captures the meaning of a politically organized body (nation/state) involved in international policy and economic classification (rich/poor countries). This is the standard usage when discussing global politics and climate change.

5.  **Final Check:**
    *   Context: "rich countries," "poor countries," "developing countries."
    *   Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government."
    *   Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit. (Note: The prompt requires returning the index number, not the definition.)

3.  **Match context to senses:**
    *   The context explicitly mentions "carbon output" and "global warming." The nations are cutting percentages of their "emissions."
    *   Sense 3 (electrons) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 4 (bodily processes) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 5 (water flow) is irrelevant.
    *   The emissions being discussed are related to industrial activity and climate change, meaning they are pollutants or greenhouse gases (substances).
    *   Sense 1 (the act of emitting) is possible, but Sense 2 (the substance that is emitted or released) is a better fit when discussing "cutting emissions by X percent," as you are cutting the quantity of the substance (e.g., CO2).
    *   Sense 2: "a substance that is emitted or released." This perfectly describes greenhouse gases (like CO2) that nations are mandated to reduce.

Analysis:
The phrase is "$3.6 billion a year over the next three years".
Here, "a year" refers to a unit of time used for calculating the disbursement rate of money ($3.6 billion per year).

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. sense_key=year%1:28:01: This is the standard definition of a year (365/366 days). This fits perfectly with the usage "a year" as a unit of time for financial planning.
2. sense_key=year%1:28:02: This refers to specific periods like "school year." This is too specific and doesn't match the general financial/calendar usage here.
3. sense_key=year%1:28:00: This refers to astronomical years (orbital periods). This is incorrect in this context.
4. sense_key=year%1:14:00: This refers to a cohort of students. This is completely irrelevant.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

I need to analyze the candidate senses:

1. **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 | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations
    * This refers to a sovereign political entity (nation-state).
2. **sense_key=country%1:15:00:** | definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries
    * This refers to the physical geographical area.
3. **sense_key=country%1:14:01:** | definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation
    * This refers to the inhabitants (the populace).
4. **sense_key=country%1:15:01:** | definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
    * This refers to the countryside/rural setting.
5. **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 | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country
    * This refers to a general region or area.

**Context Analysis:**
The context discusses climate change adaptation, financial aid ($3.6 billion), and helping entities "adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation."

The phrase is "poorer countries."
When discussing climate change impacts, adaptation, and international aid, "countries" refers to sovereign nations or political entities that are vulnerable to climate change.

**Matching Context to Senses:**
* **Sense 1 (Politically organized body):** This fits perfectly. "Poorer countries" refers to poorer nations/states.
* **Sense 2 (Territory):** While countries have territory, the focus here is on the political/economic status ("poorer") and the need for adaptation, not just the landmass itself.
* **Sense 3 (People):** "Poorer people" would be used if the focus was on the inhabitants, but the structure "poorer countries" indicates the political unit.
* **Sense 4 (Rural area):** Irrelevant.
* **Sense 5 (Geographical region):** Too vague. The context implies distinct political units receiving aid.

**Conclusion:**
Sense 1, defining a country as a "politically organized body of people under a single government," is the most accurate fit for "poorer countries" in the context of international climate policy and aid.

The index for Sense 1 is `country%1:14:00`.
