2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "The second is the increasing <t>stability</t> of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
3.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence discusses "attitudes towards democracy" and how these attitudes are becoming "increasingly stable."
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast." (Does "increasing stability of attitudes" mean the attitudes are becoming firm and steadfast? Yes, they are becoming consistent and unshakeable.)
    *   **Sense 2:** "a stable order (especially of society)." (This refers to the *state* of being stable, not the *quality* of the attitudes themselves. While democracy is an order, the sentence is describing the *quality* of the attitudes.)

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1 (firm and steadfast) is a good fit.
    *   Sense 3 (enduring and free from change or variation) is an even better fit, as "attitudes" are inherently subject to change, and "stability" here means they are becoming *less* prone to change.
6.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 3 captures the meaning of consistency and lack of variation in beliefs/attitudes most accurately.
7.  **Final check:** The sentence means the attitudes are becoming more consistent and less likely to fluctuate. This matches Sense 3.

1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "It also rose in Mexico, where the <t>economy</t> has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year."

3.  **Analyze the context of "countries":**
    *   "Mexico and Brazil" are the specific entities.
    *   They are described as "the region's two most populous countries."
    *   The context is political (respondents, convinced democrats, regional average).
    *   The term refers to the political/geographical entities themselves, which are nations.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president**
        *   *Fit:* Mexico and Brazil are politically organized bodies (nations/states). This fits the political context perfectly.

    *   **2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth**
        *   *Fit:* While countries *have* territory, the sentence refers to Mexico and Brazil as the *entities* (the nations/states), not just their physical landmass. Sense 1 is a stronger fit for the subject of the sentence (the political unit).

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced <t>democrats</t>, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2)."

3.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The sentence discusses "respondents in Mexico and Brazil."
    *   It states that these respondents are "convinced democrats."
    *   The context is a survey/data analysis ("regional average," "chart 2").
    *   In political contexts, when people are described as "democrats," they usually refer to their political affiliation (i.e., belonging to the Democratic Party or a similar political faction).

    *   Sense 2: definition=an advocate of democratic principles. (While possible, if the sentence meant they advocate for principles, it would usually be phrased differently, e.g., "are convinced of democratic principles" or "are democratic advocates." The phrasing "are convinced democrats" strongly suggests an identity or affiliation.)

    *   It mentions a political affiliation ("convinced democrats").
    *   It refers to a "regional average" that is being "dragged down."
    *   The phrase "(see chart 2)" strongly suggests a statistical or quantitative measure.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | examples=it set the norm for American homes.
        *   *Fit:* This sense relates directly to statistics and distributions (like the average political leaning of a region). This fits the context perfectly.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities | examples=...
        *   *Fit:* This is a specific, narrow definition (like batting average) and is irrelevant to political polling data.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to a typical or normal state (e.g., average height, average intelligence). While "average" can sometimes mean a statistical mean, this sense emphasizes the *qualitative* notion of "normal," whereas the context (chart, respondents, dragging down) requires a *quantitative* statistical measure.

5.  **Conclusion:** The usage "regional average" in a context involving survey data and charts refers to the statistical mean or central tendency of the data set. This matches Sense 1.

    *   **Sense 3:** "the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group." (Focuses specifically on *majority rule* within a group, often used in organizational contexts, not necessarily the full political system.)

5.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    *   The phrase "how their country's democracy works in practice" refers to the actual operation of the national political structure (elections, representation, citizen power).
    *   Sense 2 perfectly describes the structure and function of a political system where citizens elect representatives.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the correct fit.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same <t>figure</t> as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2
2. definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | examples=Leonardo studied the human body
3. definition=one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration | examples=0 and 1 are digits
4. definition=a model of a bodily form (especially of a person) | examples=he made a figure of Santa Claus
5. definition=a well-known or notable person | examples=they studied all the great names in the history of France
6. definition=a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape
7. definition=an amount of money expressed numerically | examples=a figure of $17 was suggested
8. definition=the impression produced by a person | examples=he cut a fine figure
9. definition=the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | examples=he had a number of chores to do
10. definition=language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense
11. definition=a unitary percept having structure and coherence that is the object of attention and that stands out against a ground
12. definition=a decorative or artistic work | examples=the coach had a design on the doors
13. definition=a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating | examples=she made the best score on compulsory figures

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same <t>figure</t> as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "figure".
3.  **Analyze the context:** The word "figure" is being used in relation to percentages (44%, 25%) and is explicitly compared to a previous year's percentage ("the same figure as last year"). It is also referenced in relation to a "chart 3".
4.  **Determine the meaning of "figure" in this context:** It refers to a numerical value or statistic.
5.  **Review the provided senses:**
    *   1. a diagram or picture illustrating textual material (Relates to charts/data presentation, but the word itself is the *number*.)
    *   2. alternative names for the body of a human being (Incorrect.)
    *   3. one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration (A digit, not the overall statistic.)
    *   4. a model of a bodily form (Incorrect.)
    *   5. a well-known or notable person (Incorrect.)
    *   6. a combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape (Geometric shape, incorrect.)
    *   7. an amount of money expressed numerically (A specific type of numerical amount, but often used more broadly for statistics.)
    *   8. the impression produced by a person (Incorrect.)
    *   9. the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals (Refers to the *quality* of being a sum, not the numerical value itself.)
    *   10. language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense (Incorrect.)
    *   11. a unitary percept having structure and coherence that is the object of attention and that stands out against a ground (Visual perception, incorrect.)
    *   12. a decorative or artistic work (Incorrect.)
    *   13. a predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating (Incorrect.)
6.  **Compare the context meaning (numerical statistic/value) with the best fit among the senses:**
    *   Sense 7 ("an amount of money expressed numerically") is close, but the context is a percentage/statistic, not necessarily money.
    *   Sense 1 ("a diagram or picture illustrating textual material") is related to the *source* (chart 3), but the word "figure" here is the *data point* itself.
    *   In common usage, when referring to a statistic or data point (like 44%), "figure" means the numerical value. Sense 7 is the closest definition provided for a numerical value, even if it specifies "money." However, let's re-examine the relationship between "figure" and "statistic."
    *   Often, "figure" is used synonymously with "statistic" or "number."
    *   If we must choose the best fit from the list, Sense 7 is the only one that explicitly defines a numerical amount.

7.  **Re-evaluating the options based on common usage vs. strict definitions:**
    *   The sentence uses "figure" to mean "statistic" or "percentage value."
    *   Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically." (Too narrow, but captures the numerical nature.)
    *   If there were a sense like "a numerical statistic," that would be perfect. Since there isn't, Sense 7 is the most plausible candidate for a numerical quantity, even if the context is not strictly monetary.

8.  **Final check:** The sentence compares two numerical values (44% and 25%) and refers to the percentage (44%) as "the same figure as last year." This confirms "figure" means "numerical value/statistic." Sense 7 is the best match for a numerical value among the choices.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "year" (marked with `<t>year</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last <t>year</t> but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

3.  **Analyze the context of "last year":** "Last year" refers to the 12 months immediately preceding the time of the report/chart. It is used to compare data points across consecutive annual periods.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old." (General duration/age). This fits the concept of a standard calendar year used for comparison.
    *   **Sense 2:** "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year." (Specific, defined activity period). This is too narrow (e.g., academic year, fiscal year).
    *   **Sense 3:** "the period of time that it takes for a planet... to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days." (Astronomical definition). This is incorrect.
    *   **Sense 4:** "a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97." (Group of people). This is incorrect.

5.  **Determine the best fit:** The usage "last year" refers to a standard, completed 12-month cycle used for tracking data (like satisfaction rates). This aligns perfectly with Sense 1 (a period of time containing 365/366 days).

6.  **Final check:** The comparison is between the current year's data and the previous calendar year's data. This is the general definition of a year (Sense 1).

7.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year
2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "increase" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

3.  **Analyze the context of "increase":**
    *   The sentence compares two figures: 44% (current) and 25% (2001).
    *   The phrase is "a big increase on the 25% in 2001."
    *   "Increase" here refers to the *difference* or the *amount* by which the percentage has risen from 25% to 44%.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a quantity that is added | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year:** This focuses on the *act* of adding a quantity (like an addition to taxes). While related, it's usually about the action or the resulting quantity itself, not specifically the *amount* of the change between two points.
    *   **2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month:** This describes the *event* or *process* of change (e.g., "The increase in temperature"). This is close, but often "increase" in this sense refers to the *state* of being higher.
    *   **3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment:** This is a dynamic process (e.g., "The increase in population").
    *   **4. definition=the amount by which something increases | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare:** This specifically refers to the *magnitude* or *amount* of the rise (e.g., "an increase of 15 percent"). This perfectly matches the context: the difference between 25% and 44% is the *amount* of the increase.
    *   **5. definition=the act of increasing something | examples=he gave me an increase in salary:** This focuses on the action taken by an agent (e.g., "He increased my salary").

5.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "a big increase on the 25% in 2001" refers to the *magnitude* of the difference between the two percentages. This aligns best with Sense 4.

6.  **Final check:** The sentence is quantifying the difference (44% - 25% = 19 percentage points). Sense 4 defines "the amount by which something increases." This is the correct fit.

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

Sentence: Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (<t>chart</t> 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a visual display of information
2. definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "chart" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (<t>chart</t> 3)."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "chart":** The word "chart" is placed in parentheses, likely referring to a visual representation of the data (44%, 25%, etc.). The context is statistical data comparison over time (last year vs. 2001).

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a visual display of information (e.g., bar chart, pie chart, line chart).
    *   Sense 2: definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea.

5.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    *   The data (percentages of satisfaction) is being presented/referenced.
    *   A visual display of information (Sense 1) is the appropriate term for presenting statistical data like this.
    *   A navigational map (Sense 2) is irrelevant to political satisfaction percentages.

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

7.  **Format the Output:** Return only the number.

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

Sentence: Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively).

Senses:
1. definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular
2. definition=a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples=I have confidence in our team
3. definition=a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy
4. definition=a trustful relationship | examples=he took me into his confidence
5. definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> in their country's Congress and 45% in their government..."
2.  **Identify the context:** The confidence is directed *in* institutions (Congress, government). This suggests a belief in their competence, reliability, or future performance.
3.  **Analyze the senses provided:**
    *   1. freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities (Self-belief). *Does not fit "confidence in Congress."*
    *   2. a feeling of trust (in someone or something). *Fits "confidence in their country's Congress."*
    *   3. a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable (Optimism about the future). *Fits "confidence in their government" (i.e., they believe the government will do well).*
    *   4. a trustful relationship (Interpersonal trust). *Does not fit "confidence in Congress."*
    *   5. a secret that is confided or entrusted to another (A secret). *Does not fit.*
4.  **Compare Senses 2 and 3:**
    *   Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" -> This is a general term for believing in the reliability of the entity.
    *   Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" -> This focuses specifically on the *future* outcome (hopefulness).
5.  **Determine the best fit:** When people express confidence in a government or institution, they are expressing a belief in its competence and reliability (trust), which often implies hopefulness (Sense 3). However, Sense 2 ("a feeling of trust (in someone or something)") is the most direct and encompassing definition for having faith in an entity like a Congress or government. The examples provided for Sense 2 ("I have confidence in our team") strongly support this interpretation of trust in an entity.
6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the primary meaning used when referring to trust in an organization or political body. (Sense 3 is a strong secondary meaning, but Sense 2 is the most accurate general fit for "confidence in X").

7.  **Final check:** "They had confidence in their government" = "They trusted their government." This matches Sense 2.

2.  **Identify the context of "country":** The word "country" is possessive ("country's") and modifies "Congress" and "government."
3.  **Determine what "country's Congress" and "country's government" refer to:** They refer to the governing institutions of a nation-state.
4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president (This refers to the *political entity* or *nation-state*.)

3.  **Determine the context of "Congress":**
    *   "Congress" is being discussed in relation to "their country's" and "their government."
    *   Confidence is being measured in the institution/body of Congress.
    *   In the context of US politics (implied by the structure and common usage), "Congress" refers to the legislative branch.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the legislature of the United States government. (Matches the context of a specific governmental body.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a meeting of elected or appointed representatives. (This is a general definition, but Sense 1 is more specific to the US context implied by the phrasing "their country's Congress" when discussing government confidence.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a national legislative assembly. (This is a broader, more international definition, but Sense 1 is the most precise fit for the US context.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the act of sexual procreation... (Irrelevant.)

3.  **Analyze the context of "government":**
    *   It is paired with "country's Congress." Congress is a legislative body, a part of the governing structure.
    *   The sentence discusses "confidence in their government." This implies confidence in the *entity* or *system* that rules the country.

4.  **Analyze the senses provided:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit | examples=the government reduced taxes. (Focuses on the *body/organization*.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of governing; exercising authority | examples=regulations for the governing of state prisons. (Focuses on the *action*.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(government) the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed | examples=tyrannical government. (Focuses on the *system/structure*.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the study of government of states and other political units. (This is "political science," not the word "government" itself in this context.)

5.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   The sentence refers to the entity/system (the ruling body/structure) of the country.
    *   Sense 1 (the organization) fits well, as the government *is* the organization (e.g., Congress, executive branch, etc.).
    *   Sense 3 (the system or form) also fits well, as the government *is* the system (e.g., democracy, republic).

6.  **Refine the choice (1 vs 3):**
    *   When discussing confidence in "the government" in a political poll context, it usually refers to the overall functioning entity (the organization/system).
    *   Sense 1 ("the organization that is the governing authority") is the most direct fit for the concrete entity the public is assessing confidence in.
    *   Sense 3 ("the system or form") is also plausible, but Sense 1 captures the practical, institutional meaning implied by the pairing with "Congress."

7.  **Conclusion:** Both 1 and 3 are close, but Sense 1 (the organization/authority) is the standard interpretation when referring to the governing body of a country in a survey context.

8.  **Final check:** The sentence refers to the governing *body* (the organization) of the country. This matches Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both <t>cases</t> but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively)."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "cases".
3.  **Determine the context:** The word "cases" refers to the two scenarios or situations being compared: (1) confidence in Congress and (2) confidence in the government. The phrase "in both cases" means "in both situations/scenarios."
4.  **Examine the provided senses:** I need to find the definition that matches "a situation" or "a scenario."
    *   1. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment (Possible, but maybe too broad)
    *   2. definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded (This strongly matches "in both cases" referring to two specific circumstances/scenarios.)
    *   3. definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law... (Legal proceeding - Incorrect)
    *   4. definition=the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case (This is a common usage, but sense 2 is more precise for "in both cases.")
    *   5. definition=a portable container... (Container - Incorrect)
    *   6. definition=a person requiring professional services (Patient/Client - Incorrect)
    *   7. definition=a person who is subjected to experimental... (Subject - Incorrect)
    *   8. definition=a problem requiring investigation (Mystery/Problem - Incorrect)
    *   9. definition=a statement of facts and reasons... (Legal argument - Incorrect)
    *   10. definition=the quantity contained in a case (Quantity - Incorrect)

    *   12. definition=a specific state of mind that is temporary (Feeling/State - Incorrect)
    *   13. definition=a person of a specified kind... (Character - Incorrect)
    *   14. definition=a specific size and style of type... (Typography - Incorrect)
    *   15. definition=an enveloping structure or covering... (Biological structure - Incorrect)
    *   16. definition=the housing or outer covering of something (Housing/Casing - Incorrect)
    *   17. definition=the enclosing frame around a door or window opening (Trim - Incorrect)
    *   18. definition=(printing) the receptacle in which a compositor has his type... (Typography - Incorrect)
    *   19. definition=bed linen consisting of a cover for a pillow (Pillowcase - Incorrect)
    *   20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items... (Display case - Incorrect)
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 2, "a special set of circumstances," perfectly captures the meaning of "in both cases" when referring to the two distinct situations (Congress confidence vs. Government confidence). Sense 4 ("the actual state of things") is related but less precise than Sense 2 in this comparative context.

6.  **Final Answer Formulation:** The request asks for only the number. (2)
