3.  **Analyze the specific usage:** The word "fund" is used as part of the proper name "TARP" (Troubled Asset Relief Program) and is described as a "bank protection fund." It refers to a pool of money provided by the state to support banks.

4.  **Analyze the senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a reserve of money set aside for some purpose | synonyms=monetary fund. (Matches the idea of a pool of money set aside for protection/support.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=a supply of something available for future use | synonyms=store, stock. (Too general; usually refers to physical goods or abstract resources, not specifically a monetary reserve.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=a financial institution that sells shares to individuals and invests in securities issued by other companies | synonyms=investment company, investment trust, investment firm. (This defines an *entity* (like a mutual fund), not the *pool of money* itself, which is what "TARP fund" is.)

And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity of money | synonyms=sum, sum of money, amount of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "amount" is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number of the correct sense.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the <t>amount</t> USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    The word "amount" is immediately followed by a specific monetary value ("USD 45 billion"). It is quantifying the specific sum of money being repaid.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a quantity of money | synonyms=sum, sum of money, amount of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient.
        *   *Match?* Yes. "USD 45 billion" is a specific quantity of money (a sum).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion | examples=an adequate amount of food for four people.
        *   *Match?* No. This refers to sufficiency or relative size, not a specific, stated sum.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify | synonyms=measure, quantity.
        *   *Match?* Plausible, as it refers to quantity, but Sense 1 is much more specific and accurate given the context of money.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers | synonyms=sum, total.
        *   *Match?* No. While the repayment might be a total, the word "amount" here is functioning as the *label* for the specific total value, not necessarily the *process* of addition. Sense 1 captures the nature of the quantity (money) better.

5.  **Conclusion:** The context explicitly refers to a specific sum of money ("USD 45 billion"). Sense 1, which defines "amount" as "a quantity of money," is the most precise fit.

3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. Administrative district (province). (Incorrect. It's not a geographical region in this context.)
    *   2. Condition/way something is. (Incorrect. "State support" is not describing the condition of the banks, but the source of the aid.)

    *   Sense 4 focuses on the *political entity* (the government/nation/country).
    *   When discussing financial aid provided by a national government (like the US government providing TARP support), Sense 4 ("a politically organized body of people under a single government") is the standard and most encompassing definition for the source of the support ("state support").

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text discusses US banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) repaying "state support" from the bank protection fund TARP. The banks are trying to "wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money."
2.  **Identify the key phrase:** "state support" in the context of a financial fund (TARP).
3.  **Determine the nature of the support:** The support is money provided by the state (government) to the banks during a crisis.
4.  **Examine the senses provided:** I need to find the sense that best describes financial aid/funding provided by a government or institution.

    *   1. Providing for/maintaining by supplying with money or necessities (General financial aid/care).
    *   2. Aiding the cause or policy or interests of (Ideological/political support).

    *   Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible." This is highly specific to funding/backing, which is exactly what TARP money is.

6.  **Select the most precise fit:** Since the context is about a specific financial injection (TARP fund) used to stabilize banks (a project/entity), Sense 11 ("financial resources provided to make some project possible") is the most accurate and specific definition for government bailout/funding. Sense 1 is also technically correct but less precise than 11 in the context of large-scale financial backing/funding.

7.  **Final check:** The banks received financial resources (TARP) to keep them operating (make the project possible). This matches Sense 11.

Senses:
1. definition=an organization founded and united for a specific purpose | synonyms=establishment
2. definition=an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated
3. definition=a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society | examples=the institution of marriage; the institution of slavery

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text discusses "US major banks," "Bank of America," "Citigroup," "bank protection fund TARP," and the banks "repaying the support" and "breaking free from their state shackles/restrictions." The phrase in question is "The <t>institutions</t> thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions..."

2.  **Identify the referent of "institutions":** In this context, "institutions" refers to the major financial organizations (banks) mentioned earlier (Bank of America, Citigroup, etc.).

3.  **Analyze the senses provided:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=an organization founded and united for a specific purpose | synonyms=establishment. (Fits banks/financial organizations.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an establishment consisting of a building or complex of buildings where an organization for the promotion of some cause is situated. (Too specific, usually refers to physical locations like museums or universities, not the abstract corporate entity itself.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a custom that for a long time has been an important feature of some group or society. (Refers to social customs, like marriage or slavery. Does not fit banks.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new. (Refers to the *act* of founding, not the organization itself.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a hospital for mentally incompetent or unbalanced person. (Refers to psychiatric facilities. Does not fit banks.)

4.  **Match the context to the best sense:** The banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) are organizations founded for a specific purpose (banking/finance). This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

5.  **Formulate the final answer:** The correct sense number is 1.

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

Context: US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the <t>restrictions</t> going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans.

Senses:
1. definition=a principle that limits the extent of something | synonyms=limitation | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements
2. definition=an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation) | synonyms=limitation
3. definition=the act of keeping something within specified bounds (by force if necessary) | synonyms=confinement | examples=the restriction of the infection to a focal area

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "restriction" is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses US major banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) repaying state support (TARP).
    *   The banks want to "wiggle themselves free from the <t>restrictions</t> going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money."
    *   Examples of these restrictions are given: "the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    *   Target word: "restrictions"
    *   Usage: The banks are trying to escape specific rules/limits placed on their operations (bonuses, charges) that were tied to receiving government aid.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a principle that limits the extent of something | synonyms=limitation | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements.
        *   *Match Check:* The restrictions here are limits on *extent* (e.g., how much they can pay in bonuses). This fits the idea of a limiting principle or rule.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation) | synonyms=limitation.
        *   *Match Check:* This is very close to Sense 1, focusing on the *act* or *result* of limiting via regulation. The limits on bonuses are regulatory constraints.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the act of keeping something within specified bounds (by force if necessary) | synonyms=confinement | examples=the restriction of the infection to a focal area.
        *   *Match Check:* This implies physical confinement or strict containment (like a disease). The context is financial/regulatory, not physical confinement. This sense is incorrect.

5.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 and Sense 2 (Refinement):**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *principle* or *limit* itself (e.g., "The restriction is a 10% cap on bonuses").
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *act* or *result* of limiting (e.g., "The government imposed restrictions").
    *   In the phrase "wiggle themselves free from the restrictions," the word refers to the specific *rules* or *limits* (the caps on bonuses, the rules on charges). Both senses are plausible, but Sense 1 ("a principle that limits the extent of something") captures the nature of these financial/operational limits most accurately. The limits on bonuses *are* the principles/rules that limit the extent of their spending.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 provides the best fit for the regulatory limits (limits on bonuses, charges) that the banks are trying to escape.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number. (1)

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

Context: US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the <t>acceptance</t> of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans.

Senses:
1. definition=the mental attitude that something is believable and should be accepted as true | synonyms=credence | examples=he gave credence to the gossip; acceptance of Newtonian mechanics was unquestioned for 200 years
2. definition=the act of accepting with approval; favorable reception | synonyms=adoption, acceptation, espousal | examples=its adoption by society; the proposal found wide acceptance
3. definition=the state of being acceptable and accepted | examples=torn jeans received no acceptance at the country club
4. definition=(contract law) words signifying consent to the terms of an offer (thereby creating a contract)
5. definition=banking: a time draft drawn on and accepted by a bank | synonyms=banker's acceptance
6. definition=a disposition to tolerate or accept people or situations | synonyms=toleration, sufferance | examples=all people should practice toleration and live together in peace
7. definition=the act of taking something that is offered | examples=her acceptance of the gift encouraged him; he anticipated their acceptance of his offer

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the <t>acceptance</t> of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
2.  **Identify the role of "acceptance":** Here, "acceptance" refers to the condition or agreement that came with receiving the state support (TARP money). The restrictions (limits on bonuses, high charges) are tied to the fact that the banks *accepted* the money.
3.  **Examine the relationship between "acceptance" and "restrictions":** The banks want to escape the restrictions. These restrictions are consequences of the initial agreement/taking of the money.
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **1. Credence (believable/true):** Does the money have to be believable? No. (Incorrect)
    *   **2. Act of accepting with approval; favorable reception:** Did the banks accept the money? Yes. Was this acceptance favorable (i.e., they agreed to the terms)? Yes, they agreed to the terms that came with the support. This fits the idea of agreeing to the conditions. (Plausible)
    *   **3. State of being acceptable/accepted:** This refers to the *quality* of the money or the situation (e.g., "The jeans received no acceptance"). Here, "acceptance" is the *act* or *condition* of the banks taking the money under specific terms. (Less precise than 2 or 7)
    *   **4. Contract law (consent to terms):** This is highly relevant. The state support (TARP) was given under specific terms (restrictions on bonuses). The banks' "acceptance" of the money constituted consent to those terms. (Very plausible)
    *   **5. Banking (time draft):** Irrelevant. (Incorrect)
    *   **6. Disposition to tolerate/accept people/situations:** This refers to attitude/tolerance. The context is contractual/financial. (Incorrect)
    *   **7. Act of taking something that is offered:** The banks took the money (the offer). This is a very general fit. (Plausible)

5.  **Compare the best fits (2, 4, 7):**

    *   Sense 7 ("Act of taking something that is offered") is too broad.
    *   Sense 2 ("Act of accepting with approval; favorable reception") focuses on the *approval* aspect, which is part of the contract.
    *   Sense 4 ("Contract law) words signifying consent to the terms of an offer") is the most precise fit for a situation involving government support (TARP) and associated restrictions (limits on bonuses). The banks didn't just *take* the money; they *consented* to the terms attached to the money.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 captures the legal and conditional nature of the "acceptance" in this financial/regulatory context best.

2. definition=wealth reckoned in terms of money | examples=all his money is in real estate
3. definition=the official currency issued by a government or national bank | examples=he changed his money into francs

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses US major banks (Bank of America, Citigroup).
    *   The banks are repaying state support (TARP funds).
    *   The banks want to "wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the <t>money</t>, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
    *   The restrictions mentioned are limits on bonuses and high charges.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    *   The word is "money."
    *   It is used in the phrase: "acceptance of the <t>money</t>, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
    *   The restrictions (limits on bonuses, high charges) are financial/economic constraints placed on the banks. The "acceptance of the money" refers to accepting these specific financial conditions or constraints.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender | examples=we tried to collect the money he owed us.
        *   *Fit?* While bonuses and charges involve money (medium of exchange), the context is about *restrictions* and *acceptance* of those restrictions, not the physical act of exchanging currency. This sense is too narrow (focuses on the physical/legal tender aspect).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=wealth reckoned in terms of money | examples=all his money is in real estate.
        *   *Fit?* This sense refers to overall wealth or assets. The restrictions (limits on bonuses, high charges) are constraints on how that wealth is managed or distributed, but the phrase "acceptance of the money" here seems to refer to the *conditions* or *terms* of the financial agreement, not the total wealth itself.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the official currency issued by a government or national bank | examples=he changed his money into francs.
        *   *Fit?* This is the specific physical currency (e.g., dollars, euros). The context is about financial policies and restrictions, not the physical currency itself.

5.  **Re-evaluating the Context and Senses (Refined Analysis):**
    *   The phrase "acceptance of the <t>money</t>, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges" is slightly awkward English, but it refers to the *financial terms* or *economic conditions* that the banks must accept as part of the state support agreement.
    *   When "money" is used in a broader economic sense (like "financial money," "economic money," or "monetary policy"), it often relates to the system of wealth and exchange.
    *   Let's reconsider Sense 1: "the most common medium of exchange." The limits on bonuses and high charges are restrictions on how the banks use the medium of exchange (money). This is the closest fit, as the restrictions directly govern the flow and use of currency/funds.
    *   Let's reconsider Sense 2: "wealth reckoned in terms of money." The restrictions are placed on the *management* of the bank's wealth.

    *   *Conclusion on best fit:* The restrictions (bonuses, charges) are mechanisms of exchange and distribution of wealth. Since the context is about the *terms* of the financial agreement, and those terms govern the flow of funds, Sense 1 (medium of exchange) is the most appropriate interpretation of the *function* of the money being discussed, even if the phrasing is slightly abstract. The banks are accepting the *rules* governing the use of their funds.

6.  **Final Check:** The restrictions (limits on bonuses, high charges) are rules governing the *exchange* of funds within the bank. This aligns best with Sense 1.

    *   3. definition=as far as something can go (General extent.) -> *Too vague.*
    *   4. definition=the boundary of a specific area | synonyms=demarcation, demarcation line (Focuses on physical boundaries.) -> *Not applicable to financial rules.*
    *   5. definition=the mathematical value toward which a function goes as the independent variable approaches infinity (Calculus definition.) -> *Clearly incorrect.*
    *   6. definition=the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed | synonyms=limitation | examples=there are limits on the amount you can bet; it is growing rapidly with no limitation in sight (Focuses on maximum allowed quantity/restriction.) -> *This perfectly matches "limits on manager bonuses."*

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "the paying of high <t>charges</t>."

The restrictions mentioned are "limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "charges" in this specific context:** When discussing financial institutions, bonuses, and limits on payments, "charges" refers to fees, costs, or amounts that must be paid.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:** I need to find the sense that matches "fees/costs/amounts paid."

    *   1. impetuous rush (Incorrect)
    *   2. criminal law pleading (Incorrect)
    *   3. the price charged for some article or service (Correct - this refers to fees or costs.)
    *   4. electrical quantity (Incorrect)
    *   5. attention/management/responsibility (Incorrect)
    *   6. special assignment/mission (Incorrect)
    *   7. person committed to care (Incorrect)

    *   13. assertion of guilt (Incorrect)
    *   14. heraldry design (Incorrect)
    *   15. quantity of explosive (Incorrect)

4.  **Compare Sense 3 and Sense 8/11:**
    *   Sense 3: "the price charged for some article or service | examples=the admission charge." This perfectly fits "high charges" related to bonuses or financial restrictions.
    *   Sense 8: "financial liabilities (such as a tax) | examples=the charges against the estate." This is broader, but Sense 3 is the most direct fit for the concept of a fee or cost being paid.
    *   Sense 11: "request for payment of a debt | synonyms=billing | examples=they submitted their charges at the end of each month." This refers to the *act* of billing, not necessarily the fee itself, though it is related.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3, "the price charged for some article or service," is the most accurate and common interpretation of "high charges" in the context of financial restrictions and bonuses.

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

Context: The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The <t>rest</t> of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units.

Bank head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks to the American taxpayer on Wednesday evening: The cash injection helped over a very difficult time.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity of money | synonyms=sum, sum of money, amount of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient
2. definition=the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion | examples=an adequate amount of food for four people
3. definition=how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify | synonyms=measure, quantity
4. definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers | synonyms=sum, total

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses Bank of America repaying support (TARP).
    *   "Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the <t>amount</t> was taken from its own kitty..."
    *   The word "amount" refers to the remaining portion of the total money needed/raised for the repayment/operation.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    *   Target word: "amount"
    *   Usage: "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty..."
    *   The "amount" here is a specific, quantifiable sum of money (the remaining portion of the total required/raised).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a quantity of money | synonyms=sum, sum of money, amount of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient.
        *   *Match?* Yes. The context deals explicitly with billions of USD (money/sum).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion | examples=an adequate amount of food for four people.
        *   *Match?* No. This refers to sufficiency or relative size (e.g., "a large amount of time"). The context is about a specific monetary value.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify | synonyms=measure, quantity.
        *   *Match?* Plausible, as money is quantifiable. However, Sense 1 is much more specific and accurate because it specifies "a quantity of *money*." Sense 3 is very general.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers | synonyms=sum, total.
        *   *Match?* No. While the amount is part of a total, the word "amount" itself here refers to the *remaining portion* (a specific quantity), not the calculation of the total (the sum).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most precise fit. The "amount" refers to a specific quantity of money (the remaining portion of the required funds).

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number. (1)

Bank head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks to the American taxpayer on Wednesday evening: The cash injection helped over a very difficult time.

Senses:
1. definition=a particular instance of selling | examples=he has just made his first sale; they had to complete the sale before the banks closed
2. definition=the general activity of selling | examples=they tried to boost sales; laws limit the sale of handguns
3. definition=an occasion (usually brief) for buying at specially reduced prices | synonyms=cut-rate sale, sales event | examples=they held a sale to reduce their inventory; I got some great bargains at their annual sale
4. definition=the state of being purchasable; offered or exhibited for selling | examples=you'll find vitamin C for sale at most pharmacies; the new line of cars will soon be on sale
5. definition=an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred from the seller (vendor) to the buyer (vendee) for a fixed price in money (paid or agreed to be paid by the buyer) | synonyms=sales agreement | examples=the salesman faxed the sales agreement to his home office

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the <t>sale</t> of business units."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "sale" in this context:** "Sale of business units" means the act or process of selling off parts of the company (the business units) to other parties (investors/buyers).
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. a particular instance of selling (e.g., "made his first sale"). This refers to a single transaction.
    *   2. the general activity of selling (e.g., "boost sales," "laws limit the sale"). This refers to the overall process or commercial activity.
    *   3. an occasion for buying at reduced prices (e.g., "held a sale to reduce inventory"). This is a specific type of retail event.
    *   4. the state of being purchasable (e.g., "for sale"). This is an adjective/state.
    *   5. an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred... (e.g., "sales agreement"). This refers to the legal document.
4.  **Match the context meaning to the senses:**
    *   The context refers to the *act* of selling off multiple units/assets to raise capital. This is a broad commercial activity or a specific instance of that activity (the transaction itself).
    *   Sense 1 ("a particular instance of selling") fits well, as the sale of a specific business unit is a single instance/transaction.
    *   Sense 2 ("the general activity of selling") also fits, as the divestiture is part of the company's overall strategy of selling assets.
5.  **Refine the choice (Instance vs. Activity):** When referring to the *action* of selling specific items or units (like "sale of business units"), it usually refers to the completed transaction or the specific event of the transfer. Sense 1 ("a particular instance of selling") is the most precise fit for a completed transaction of specific assets. Sense 2 is broader (like "increasing sales volume").
6.  **Final check:** "Sale of business units" = the specific transaction/instance where the units were sold. This aligns best with Sense 1. (Although Sense 2 is plausible, Sense 1 captures the transactional nature of divesting specific units.)

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit | synonyms=investing**
        *   *Fit:* This sense relates directly to the *act* or *business* of investing money/capital. An "investment bank" is a bank whose primary business is the act of investing/facilitating investments. This is a strong match.

    *   **2. definition=money that is invested with an expectation of profit | synonyms=investment funds**
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *funds* themselves (the noun, e.g., "a large investment"). The context uses "investment" as a descriptor of the *type* of bank, not the money held by the bank. (Weak match).

    *   **3. definition=the commitment of something other than money (time, energy, or effort) to a project...**
        *   *Fit:* This is about non-monetary commitment. Irrelevant to "investment bank." (No match).
