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

Context: But the mood varies widely from country to country (see chart 4). Brazil's strong economic performance and the popularity of its outgoing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is reflected in a widely shared sense of progress. That is scarcer in Mexico and Central America, where the recession was more severe and violent crime has worsened. For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5). Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995. A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising support for private enterprise and the market economy: some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for <t>development</t>, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year.

Senses:
1. definition=act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining | examples=he congratulated them on their development of a plan to meet the emergency; they funded research and development
2. definition=a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) | synonyms=evolution | examples=the development of his ideas took many years; the evolution of Greek civilization
3. definition=(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level | synonyms=growth, growing, maturation, ontogeny, ontogenesis | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children
4. definition=a recent event that has some relevance for the present situation | examples=recent developments in Iraq; what a revolting development!
5. definition=the act of making some area of land or water more profitable or productive or useful | synonyms=exploitation | examples=the development of Alaskan resources; the exploitation of copper deposits
6. definition=a district that has been developed to serve some purpose | examples=such land is practical for small park developments
7. definition=a state in which things are improving; the result of developing (as in the early part of a game of chess) | examples=after he saw the latest development he changed his mind and became a supporter; in chess your should take care of your development before moving your queen
8. definition=processing a photosensitive material in order to make an image visible | synonyms=developing | examples=the development and printing of his pictures took only two hours
9. definition=(music) the section of a composition or movement (especially in sonata form) where the major musical themes are developed and elaborated

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "development" appears in the sentence: "some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for <t>development</t>, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6)."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The context discusses economic performance, recession, violent crime, unemployment, private enterprise, and the market economy in Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Central America).
3.  **Determine the meaning of "development" in this specific context:** When discussing economic performance, private enterprise, and the market economy, "development" refers to the process of a country or region becoming more advanced, prosperous, and mature economically.
4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. Act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining (e.g., R&D). (Possible, but usually too technical/specific.)
    *   2. A process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage). Synonyms: evolution. (This perfectly matches the concept of economic/societal advancement.)
    *   3. (Biology) Organism growing. (Incorrect.)
    *   4. A recent event. (Incorrect.)
    *   5. Act of making land/water productive. (This is *land* development, not general economic/societal development, though related.)
    *   6. A district that has been developed. (Incorrect.)
    *   7. A state in which things are improving; the result of developing. (This is a strong candidate, as it refers to the *state* of being developed, which is often the goal of economic development.)
    *   8. Processing photosensitive material. (Incorrect.)
    *   9. (Music) Section of a composition. (Incorrect.)
5.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 7:**
    *   Sense 2: "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)." (Focuses on the *process*.)
    *   Sense 7: "a state in which things are improving; the result of developing." (Focuses on the *state* or *result*.)
6.  **Re-examine the usage:** "private enterprise is indispensable for development." Here, "development" refers to the overall goal or state of becoming a developed nation (economic maturity). Both senses 2 and 7 are highly relevant to economic development. However, Sense 2, defining it as "a process... to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)," captures the dynamic nature of economic growth better than Sense 7, which focuses on the resulting "state." In common usage, "economic development" refers to the *process* of achieving a higher stage of maturity.
7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 is the most comprehensive and accurate definition for "economic development" in this context.

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

Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only <t>system</t> that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies.

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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only <t>system</t> that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "system" in this context:** The word "system" refers to the structure, rules, and mechanisms of the market economy—how it operates, how it organizes production, distribution, and wealth creation. It is a conceptual framework or a set of governing principles.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   1. instrumentality (artifacts): No. (e.g., stereo system)
    *   2. group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (scheme): Plausible, but perhaps too broad. (e.g., vast system of production and distribution)
    *   3. (physical chemistry) sample of matter: No.
    *   4. complex of methods or rules governing behavior (system of rules): Highly relevant. A market economy is defined by its rules (supply/demand, private property, etc.) and methods of operation.
    *   5. organized structure for arranging or classifying: Less relevant. While an economy is structured, this sense usually refers to classification (e.g., library organization).
    *   6. group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts: No.
    *   7. procedure or process for obtaining an objective: Possible, but usually refers to a specific method (e.g., a scientific system).
    *   8. the living body: No.
    *   9. an ordered manner; orderliness: Refers to the *quality* of being organized, not the structure itself.

4.  **Compare the best candidates (2 and 4):**

    *   Sense 2: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole." (Focuses on components).
    *   Sense 4: "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior." (Focuses on the operational framework/governance).

    In the context of "market economy," the defining characteristic is the set of rules and methods (private ownership, free trade, etc.) that govern economic behavior. Sense 4 captures this conceptual, rule-based nature most accurately. While an economy *is* a unified whole (Sense 2), the emphasis on "market economy" strongly points to the *rules* and *methods* that define it.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the most precise fit for "market economy" functioning as a governing framework.

Senses:
1. 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

5. 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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their <t>country</t> developed, up from 47% last year."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The passage discusses economic performance, market economies, development, crime rates, and political systems in Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Central America, Venezuela). The discussion is about national-level issues and development goals.

3.  **Analyze the usage of "country" in the sentence:** "make their country developed." Here, "country" refers to the political/economic entity whose development is being discussed.

4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **Sense 1:** 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.
        *   *Fit:* This aligns perfectly. The discussion is about the political/economic entity (the nation/state) achieving development.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries.
        *   *Fit:* While the territory is involved, the focus of the sentence ("make their country developed") is on the *system* and the *entity*, not just the physical landmass. Sense 1 is a better fit for the abstract concept of "development."

    *   **Sense 3:** 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.
        *   *Fit:* Incorrect. "Country" here refers to the place/entity, not the inhabitants.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country.
        *   *Fit:* Incorrect. The context is macroeconomics and national policy, not rural geography.

    *   **Sense 5:** 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.
        *   *Fit:* Possible, as a broad geographical region, but Sense 1 (the political/economic entity) is much more precise given the discussion of "market economy" and "developed."

5.  **Conclusion:** The usage "make their country developed" refers to the political and economic entity, matching Sense 1.

    *   "Over the past year" refers to the 12 months immediately preceding the survey.
    *   "Last year" refers to the 12 months preceding the previous survey/data point.
    *   "Up from 47% in 2007" (or "last year" in the general sense of a preceding annual measurement) refers to the 12-month period ending in 2007.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920. (This matches the usage of a standard 12-month period.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year. (Does not fit; the context is about general time measurement, not a specific activity cycle like school or fiscal year.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=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. (Does not fit; the context is human social/economic data.)

8. definition=graphic art consisting of the graphic or photographic representation of a visual percept | synonyms=scene | examples=he painted scenes from everyday life; figure 2 shows photographic and schematic views of the equipment
9. definition=the range of interest or activity that can be anticipated | synonyms=horizon, purview | examples=It is beyond the horizon of present knowledge
10. definition=outward appearance | examples=they look the same in outward view

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that <t>view</t> (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "view" in this specific context:** The sentence discusses what a percentage of respondents "hold." They hold a certain *stance* or *belief* regarding private enterprise, despite political opposition.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=a way of regarding situations or topics etc. | synonyms=position, perspective. (Matches holding a stance/perspective.)
    *   2. definition=the visual percept of a region | synonyms=aspect, prospect, scene, vista, panorama. (Visual, incorrect.)
    *   3. definition=the act of looking or seeing or observing | synonyms=survey, sight. (Action of looking, incorrect.)
    *   4. definition=the range of the eye | synonyms=eyeshot. (Visual, incorrect.)
    *   5. definition=a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty | synonyms=opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought. (Matches a held belief/opinion.)
    *   6. definition=a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof | synonyms=opinion. (Matches a stated belief/opinion.)
    *   7. definition=purpose; the phrase `with a view to' means `with the intention of' or `for the purpose of'. (Incorrect usage/context.)
    *   8. definition=graphic art consisting of the graphic or photographic representation of a visual percept | synonyms=scene. (Visual/artistic, incorrect.)
    *   9. definition=the range of interest or activity that can be anticipated | synonyms=horizon, purview. (Scope/range, less likely than a specific belief.)
    *   10. definition=outward appearance. (Appearance, incorrect.)

4.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 5, 6):**

    *   The context is about what respondents *hold*.
    *   Sense 1 (position/perspective): Focuses on *how* they regard the situation.
    *   Sense 5 (personal belief/judgment): Focuses on the *nature* of the belief (not necessarily proven).
    *   Sense 6 (message expressing a belief/opinion): Focuses on the *expression* of the belief.

    In the phrase "hold that view," the meaning is "hold that opinion/perspective." Both 1 and 5 are strong candidates, but 1 ("a way of regarding situations or topics") captures the idea of a political or economic *stance* or *perspective* most accurately in this socio-political context. Sense 5 is also very close, but Sense 1 often encompasses the idea of a specific viewpoint or position on a topic (like supporting private enterprise).

    Let's re-evaluate the common usage of "view" when discussing political/economic stances. "To hold a view" means to hold a specific opinion or perspective.

    *   Sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." (This is the definition of a perspective/position.)
    *   Sense 5: "a personal belief or judgment..." (This is the definition of an opinion.)

    Since the context is about a specific stance on economic policy (supporting private enterprise), Sense 1 (position/perspective) is the most precise fit for describing the *nature* of the belief they hold.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5). Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995. A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising support for private enterprise and the market economy: some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for development, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing <t>president</t>, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies. Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of respondents (up from 18% last year), followed by the United States (9%, unchanged from last year) and Venezuela (9%, down from 11% last year).

Senses:
1. definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation
2. definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | synonyms=President of the United States, United States President, Chief Executive | examples=the President likes to jog every morning

4. definition=the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | synonyms=chairman, chairwoman, chair, chairperson | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson
5. definition=the head administrative officer of a college or university | synonyms=prexy
6. definition=the office of the United States head of state | synonyms=President of the United States, Chief Executive | examples=a President is elected every four years

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing <t>president</t>, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies."

2.  **Identify the referent:** The word "president" refers to "Hugo Chávez."

3.  **Determine Hugo Chávez's role:** Hugo Chávez was the political leader and head of state of Venezuela.

4.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. executive officer of a firm or corporation (Corporate/Business context) -> Incorrect.
    *   2. the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government (Specific to US) -> Incorrect (Chávez was Venezuelan).
    *   3. the chief executive of a republic (General political/governmental context) -> Highly likely.
    *   4. the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization (Meeting chair) -> Incorrect.
    *   5. the head administrative officer of a college or university (Academic context) -> Incorrect.
    *   6. the office of the United States head of state (The office itself, specific to US) -> Incorrect (and refers to the office, not the person, though the usage here is for the person).

5.  **Match the usage to the best sense:** Hugo Chávez was the head of state/chief executive of Venezuela (a republic). Sense 3, "the chief executive of a republic," is the most accurate and general definition for his role.

6.  **Final check:** The context discusses political views, economic systems, and the actions of a national leader (Chávez expropriating companies). This aligns perfectly with the definition of a chief executive/head of state (Sense 3).

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

Context: For only the second time since the polls began, more respondents across Latin America as a whole cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country (see chart 5). Some 31% say that either they or a close relative have been victims of crime over the past year, but that is down from 38% last year and is the lowest figure since 1995. A more robust economic performance is reflected in rising support for private enterprise and the market economy: some 71% of respondents across the region say that private enterprise is indispensable for development, up from 56% in 2007 (see chart 6). Some 58% agree that the market economy is the only system that will make their country developed, up from 47% last year. Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that view (and 80% there back private enterprise) even though their left-wing president, Hugo Chávez, is expropriating many private companies. Brazil is the country which exercises most leadership in the region, mentioned by 19% of respondents (up from 18% last year), followed by the United States (9%, unchanged from last year) and Venezuela (9%, down from 11% last <t>year</t>). But the United States is seen as the most influential country by respondents in Mexico and much of Central America, whereas Venezuela enjoys that distinction in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "But the United States is seen as the most influential country by respondents in Mexico and much of Central America, whereas Venezuela enjoys that <t>distinction</t> in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/meaning:**
    *   The US is seen as the *most influential* in certain regions.
    *   Venezuela enjoys that *distinction* in other regions (Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua).
    *   The word "distinction" here must refer to the quality of being the *most influential* or having a superior status in that specific context.

3.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a discrimination between things as different and distinct | synonyms=differentiation | examples=it is necessary to make a distinction between love and infatuation. (This relates to separating or differentiating concepts, not status or superiority.) -> *Incorrect.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=high status importance owing to marked superiority | synonyms=eminence, preeminence, note | examples=a scholar of great eminence. (This relates directly to high status, superiority, and importance. "Most influential" aligns perfectly with "marked superiority.") -> *Strong Candidate.*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a distinguishing quality | examples=it has the distinction of being the cheapest restaurant in town. (This refers to a specific quality that sets something apart, e.g., being the cheapest. While related to superiority, Sense 2 captures the *high status* aspect better, especially when paired with "most influential.") -> *Possible, but less precise than Sense 2.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a distinguishing difference | examples=he learned the distinction between gold and lead. (This relates to a difference in kind or type, similar to Sense 1.) -> *Incorrect.*

4.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   The context is about being the *most influential*. This is a matter of high status and superiority (preeminence).
    *   Sense 2: "high status importance owing to marked superiority." (Perfect fit for "most influential.")
    *   Sense 3: "a distinguishing quality." (A bit too general; it doesn't emphasize the *high status* or *superiority* inherent in being the "most influential.")

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "distinction" when it refers to having the highest status or importance (being the "most influential").

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

Context: Scalia and Thomas dine with healthcare <t>law</t> challengers as court takes case The day the Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama's healthcare law, two of its justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that will argue the case before the high court.

Senses:
1. definition=the collection of rules imposed by authority | synonyms=jurisprudence | examples=civilization presupposes respect for the law; the great problem for jurisprudence to allow freedom while enforcing order

3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. Collection of rules imposed by authority (Jurisprudence/Philosophy of law). Too broad, focuses on the study/system, not the specific document/rules.
    *   2. Legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity. This perfectly matches a specific piece of legislation like "healthcare law."
    *   3. Rule of conduct inherent in human nature (Natural law). Incorrect.

    *   5. Branch of philosophy concerned with law (Jurisprudence/Legal philosophy). Incorrect.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text mentions "Scalia and Thomas dine with healthcare law challengers as <t>court</t> takes case." It further specifies that the "Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama's healthcare law." The challengers will "argue the case before the high court."

2.  **Identify the specific usage of "court":** In this context, "court" refers to the judicial body (the Supreme Court/high court) that hears and decides legal cases.

3.  **Examine the senses provided:**

    *   1. definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature
    *   2. definition=a room in which a lawcourt sits | synonyms=courtroom | examples=television cameras were admitted in the courtroom
    *   3. definition=the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state | synonyms=royal court
    *   4. definition=a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played | examples=players had to reserve a court in advance
    *   5. definition=Australian woman tennis player who won many major championships (born in 1947) | synonyms=Margaret Court
    *   6. definition=the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince | synonyms=royal court
    *   7. definition=a hotel for motorists; provides direct access from rooms to parking area | synonyms=motor hotel, motor inn, motor lodge, tourist court
    *   8. definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws | synonyms=lawcourt, court of law, court of justice
    *   9. definition=the residence of a sovereign or nobleman | examples=the king will visit the duke's court
    *   10. definition=an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings | synonyms=courtyard | examples=the house was built around an inner court
    *   11. definition=respectful deference | synonyms=homage | examples=pay court to the emperor

4.  **Match the usage to the best sense:**
    *   The Supreme Court is a judicial body/assembly.
    *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business." This is a perfect match.
    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws." This is also a very strong match, as the Supreme Court is a high tribunal.

5.  **Refine the choice between 1 and 8:**
    *   Sense 1 emphasizes the *assembly* aspect (the group of judges).
    *   Sense 8 emphasizes the *function* (a tribunal administering justice).
    *   Since the context refers to the "Supreme Court" (the institution/assembly) taking a case, both are technically correct, but Sense 1 ("an assembly... to conduct judicial business") is often the most direct definition for the institution itself (the Court). Sense 8 is also highly applicable.

6.  **Final check:** The Supreme Court is fundamentally an assembly of judges (Sense 1) that functions as a tribunal (Sense 8). Given the options, Sense 1 is a very precise definition of the institution mentioned. Sense 8 is also correct. If forced to choose the single best fit for the institutional name "Supreme Court," Sense 1 is highly appropriate.

7.  **Select the number:** 1. (Or 8, but 1 captures the "assembly" nature of the body.) I will select 1 as it is the most general and accurate description of the judicial body itself.
