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

Context: The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional <t>average</t> (see chart 2). 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 (chart 3).

Senses:
1. definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | synonyms=norm | examples=it set the norm for American homes
2. definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
3. definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average

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

2.  **Examine the context:** The target word is "average" in the phrase: "...which drags down the regional <t>average</t> (see chart 2)."

3.  **Analyze the surrounding text/contextual clues:**
    *   The text discusses political attitudes (support for democracy, convinced democrats, satisfied with democracy).
    *   It mentions percentages (40%, 61%, half of respondents, 44%, 25%).
    *   The phrase "regional average" refers to a typical or mean value across the countries (Mexico and Brazil) regarding the percentage of "convinced democrats."

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | synonyms=norm | examples=it set the norm for American homes.
        *   *Relevance:* This relates to statistical measures (like mean, median, mode). A "regional average" of a percentage is a statistical measure of the central tendency of that variable across the region. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities.
        *   *Relevance:* This is specific to sports performance (e.g., batting average). The context is political/economic, not sports. (Eliminate)

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average.
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to a typical, non-statistical, general level (e.g., average height, average weather). While "average" can mean typical, in the context of "regional average" of a survey result (a percentage), it specifically refers to the calculated mean or typical value derived from the data set, making Sense 1 more precise than the general descriptive sense of Sense 3.

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 in the specific context:**
    *   The text is presenting data (percentages of respondents).
    *   "Regional average" here means the calculated mean percentage of convinced democrats across the region.
    *   Sense 1 ("a statistic describing the location of a distribution") perfectly captures the meaning of a calculated mean/average in a data set.
    *   Sense 3 ("an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual") is too general and usually applies to physical or qualitative traits (height, temperature).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit for "regional average" when discussing survey data and percentages.

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

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 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their <t>country</t>'s democracy works in practice..."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The text discusses "attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions," "support for democracy," "Peru," "Mexico," "Brazil," "regional average," "Congress," and "government." The focus is on political systems and governance within specific geographical entities.

3.  **Determine the meaning of "country" in this context:** When people are asked about how their "country's democracy works," they are referring to the political entity, the nation-state, or the sovereign body of people and territory that has a government and institutions (like Congress and government).

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations.** (This matches the concept of a nation-state/political entity.)
    *   **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.** (This focuses purely on geography/territory, though it overlaps with Sense 1. However, the context is about *democracy working*, which is a political function, not just the physical land.)
    *   **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.** (This refers to the population, not the political system/government.)
    *   **4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country.** (This is the literal, non-political meaning, irrelevant here.)
    *   **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.** (This is a broad geographical area, less specific than the political entity being discussed.)

5.  **Select the best fit:** Since the discussion revolves around "democracy," "institutions," "Congress," and "government," the most precise and relevant sense is the political entity—the nation-state.

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

2. definition=a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them | synonyms=republic, commonwealth
3. definition=the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group | synonyms=majority rule

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses "increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions."
    *   It mentions "Support for democracy has risen noticeably..."
    *   It gives examples: "support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year" (referring to Peru).
    *   It discusses "how their country's <t>democracy</t> works in practice."
    *   It mentions confidence in "Congress and 45% in their government."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "democracy" in the Context:** The context is discussing the *functioning* of a country's political system, the *support* for that system, and the *institutions* (Congress, government) that make up that system. This refers to the established political structure of the country.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives." (This refers to the *attitude* or *belief* of a person, not the system itself. While related, the text is discussing the system's performance.)
    *   **Sense 2:** "a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them | synonyms=republic, commonwealth." (This perfectly matches the discussion of "how their country's democracy works in practice," the institutions (Congress, government), and the overall political structure.)
    *   **Sense 3:** "the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group | synonyms=majority rule." (This is a specific *principle* of democracy, but the context is discussing the entire *system* and its stability/functionality, not just the mechanism of majority voting.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for the usage of "democracy" in the context.

Some 34% said they had confidence 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=a diagram or picture illustrating textual material | synonyms=fig | examples=the area covered can be seen from Figure 2
2. definition=alternative names for the body of a human being | synonyms=human body, physical body, material body, soma, build, physique | examples=Leonardo studied the human body; he has a strong physique

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "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.  **Determine the meaning of "figure" in this context:** The word "figure" is used immediately after a percentage (44%) and is being compared to another percentage ("the same... as last year") and a specific number ("25% in 2001"). Therefore, "figure" refers to a numerical value or statistic.

3.  **Examine the senses provided:** I need to find the definition that matches "a numerical value/statistic."

    *   1. diagram/picture (No)
    *   2. human body (No)
    *   3. digit (A part of a number, but not the whole statistic/value itself. Less likely.)
    *   4. model of a bodily form (No)
    *   5. notable person (No)
    *   6. shape (No)
    *   7. an amount of money expressed numerically (A specific type of numerical amount, but the context is a percentage/statistic, not necessarily money. Still related to numerical amounts.)
    *   8. impression (No)
    *   9. the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | synonyms=number (This perfectly matches the idea of a statistic, a total, or a numerical value.)
    *   10. figurative language (No)
    *   11. visual percept (No)
    *   12. decorative work (No)
    *   13. dance movement (No)

4.  **Compare Senses 7 and 9:**
    *   Sense 7: "an amount of money expressed numerically." (Too narrow, the context is a percentage/statistic.)
    *   Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals | synonyms=number." (This is the most general and accurate fit for a statistical value or percentage.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 9 is the correct meaning.

Some 34% said they had confidence 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=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
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 | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High

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 context. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Examine the context:** The relevant phrase is "...the same figure as last `<t>year</t>`...".

3.  **Determine the meaning of "last year" in this context:** The context is discussing statistics, specifically changes in support for democracy (percentages) over time (2001, 2003, 2005, and the current time). "Last year" refers to the preceding 12-month period relative to the time the data was collected/reported.

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 concept of a standard calendar year/twelvemonth.)
    *   **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. (This is specialized, like academic or fiscal years, not the general reference used here.)
    *   **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. (This is astronomical, irrelevant here.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High. (This is a cohort, irrelevant here.)

5.  **Conclusion:** The usage "last year" refers to the standard calendar period of 365/366 days. This corresponds to Sense 1.

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

Context: The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). 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). Some 34% said they had confidence 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=a quantity that is added | synonyms=addition, gain | examples=there was an addition to property taxes this year; they recorded the cattle's gain in weight over a period of weeks
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 | synonyms=increment, growth | examples=the increase in unemployment; the growth of population
4. definition=the amount by which something increases | synonyms=increment | examples=they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare
5. definition=the act of increasing something | synonyms=step-up | 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 context. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The specific phrase containing "increase" is: "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.  **Determine the Meaning of "increase" in the Context:**
    *   The context compares a current figure (44%) to a past figure (25% in 2001).
    *   The phrase "a big increase on the 25% in 2001" refers to the *difference* or the *amount* by which the value has grown from 25% to 44%.
    *   It is not describing the *process* of growing (Sense 3), nor is it describing the *act* of making it bigger (Sense 5), nor is it just a scheduled change (Sense 2). It is quantifying the change.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   1. definition=a quantity that is added | synonyms=addition, gain | (Focuses on the *thing* added, like property taxes.) - *Possible, but maybe too narrow.*
    *   2. definition=a change resulting in an increase | examples=the increase is scheduled for next month | (Focuses on the *event* or *result* of the change.) - *Not the best fit; the context is quantifying the magnitude.*
    *   3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | synonyms=increment, growth | (Focuses on the *process*.) - *Incorrect. The context is a measurement of the result.*
    *   4. definition=the amount by which something increases | synonyms=increment | (Focuses on the *magnitude* or *amount* of the change.) - *This perfectly matches "a big increase on the 25% in 2001." It is the measurable difference.*
    *   5. definition=the act of increasing something | synonyms=step-up | (Focuses on the *action*.) - *Incorrect.*

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the most accurate definition for "a big increase on the 25% in 2001."

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 4.

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

2.  **Analyze the context:** The relevant phrase is "(see chart 2)" and "(<t>chart</t> 3)". The surrounding text discusses statistics, percentages, support for democracy, economic growth, and changes over time (e.g., "risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year," "the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001").

3.  **Analyze the senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a visual display of information.
    *   Sense 2: definition=a map designed to assist navigation by air or sea.

4.  **Determine the meaning of "chart" in the context:** Since the text is presenting statistical data (percentages, trends, comparisons over years), the "chart" must be a visual representation of this data.

5.  **Match the meaning to the senses:**
    *   The visual representation of statistical data matches Sense 1 (a visual display of information).
    *   It does not match Sense 2 (a navigational map).

6.  **Select the correct number:** The correct sense is 1.

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

Context: Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). 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 (chart 3). 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). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

Senses:
1. definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | synonyms=assurance, self-assurance, self-confidence, authority, sureness | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular; after that failure he lost his confidence
2. definition=a feeling of trust (in someone or something) | examples=I have confidence in our team; confidence is always borrowed, never owned
3. definition=a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable | examples=public confidence in the economy
4. definition=a trustful relationship | synonyms=trust | examples=he took me into his confidence; he betrayed their trust
5. definition=a secret that is confided or entrusted to another | examples=everyone trusted him with their confidences; the priest could not reveal her confidences

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "Some 34% said they had <t>confidence</t> in their country's Congress and 45% in their government..."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "confidence" in this specific context:** The people are expressing belief or trust in political institutions (Congress and government). They are not talking about their own self-belief (Sense 1), nor are they talking about a secret (Sense 5).
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   Sense 1: Belief in *yourself* and your abilities (Self-confidence). (Incorrect - they are talking about institutions).
    *   Sense 2: A feeling of trust (in someone or something). (Highly likely - they trust the institutions).
    *   Sense 3: A state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable (e.g., public confidence in the economy). (Possible, but Sense 2 is more direct for trust in a governing body).
    *   Sense 4: A trustful relationship. (Incorrect - confidence is a feeling/state, not a relationship itself).
    *   Sense 5: A secret. (Incorrect).
4.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)" -> "I have confidence in our team." (Fits perfectly: "confidence in their country's Congress").
    *   Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable" -> "public confidence in the economy." (While political confidence relates to hopefulness, the core meaning here is *trust* in the functioning of the body, which is the primary definition of Sense 2).
5.  **Conclusion:** The context requires the meaning of trusting an entity (Congress/Government). This aligns best with Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their <t>country</t>'s democracy works in practice..."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The text discusses political support for democracy, economic growth, and specific nations (Peru, Mexico, Brazil) in South America. The discussion is about political systems and governance.

3.  **Determine the meaning of "country" in this specific context:** When people are asked how their "country's democracy works," they are referring to the political entity, the nation-state, and its governing structure.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **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.
        *   *Match:* This perfectly matches the context of discussing democracy, government, and political organization.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match:* While a country *is* a territory, the focus here is on the *political system* ("democracy works in practice"), not just the physical land. Sense 1 is a more precise fit for the political discussion.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match:* The word "country" is not referring to the inhabitants (the people).

    *   **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.
        *   *Match:* This is the idiomatic meaning of "the country" (rural setting), which is irrelevant here.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match:* This is too broad (like "region"). The context requires a specific, politically defined nation-state.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, which defines "country" as a politically organized body under a single government (a nation-state), is the correct sense.

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

2.  **Analyze the context:** The relevant sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's <t>Congress</t> and 45% in their government..."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "Congress" in context:**
    *   The context discusses political stability, democracy, government, and public confidence in these institutions in countries like Peru, Mexico, and Brazil.
    *   "Congress" here refers to the representative body or legislative branch of these national governments.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the legislature of the United States government | synonyms=United States Congress, U.S. Congress. (Too specific to the US, though related to legislature.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a meeting of elected or appointed representatives. (This is a general definition of a gathering, but often applies to legislative bodies.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a national legislative assembly. (This perfectly describes the legislative body of a country like Peru, Mexico, or Brazil, which is what "their country's Congress" refers to.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the act of sexual procreation... (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Compare Sense 3 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 3 ("a national legislative assembly") is the most precise and appropriate definition for a country's governing body (like the National Congress of Mexico or the Congress of Peru).
    *   Sense 2 ("a meeting of elected or appointed representatives") is technically correct but less specific than Sense 3, which emphasizes its function as a *national legislative assembly*.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the best fit for "their country's Congress" in a discussion about national democracy and government institutions.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 3.

Senses:

3. definition=(government) the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed | examples=tyrannical government
4. definition=the study of government of states and other political units | synonyms=politics, political science

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

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

3.  **Determine the meaning of "government" in this specific context:** The context is discussing public opinion polls regarding confidence in political institutions (Congress and government) within specific countries (Peru, Mexico, Brazil). "Government" here refers to the body or system that holds the governing authority.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit | synonyms=authorities, regime | examples=the government reduced taxes; the matter was referred to higher authorities.
        *   *Fit:* This sense refers to the specific body/organization (the executive, legislative, and judicial branches acting as a unit) that people vote for and express confidence in. This is a strong fit.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of governing; exercising authority | synonyms=governing, governance, government activity, administration | examples=regulations for the governing of state prisons; he had considerable experience of government.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *process* or *activity* (e.g., "the government's policies"). While related, the context asks about confidence in the *entity* (the government itself), not the act of governing.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(government) the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed | examples=tyrannical government.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *type* of system (e.g., democracy, monarchy, totalitarianism). While the context is about democracy, the phrase "confidence in their government" usually refers to the specific functioning *organization* (Sense 1), not the abstract *system* (Sense 3). However, Sense 1 (the organization) is often a component of Sense 3 (the system).

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the study of government of states and other political units | synonyms=politics, political science.
        *   *Fit:* This is clearly incorrect.

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   The phrase "confidence in their government" typically refers to the specific institutions and officials (Sense 1). If the poll asked "confidence in the democratic system," Sense 3 might be more appropriate. Since it refers to the entity that is running the country, Sense 1 (the organization/authority) is the most precise fit.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best match.

4.  **Determine the meaning of "last year" in this context:** The context is discussing survey results and statistics (percentages of respondents satisfied/confident) measured at a specific point in time (implied to be the current survey year). "Last year" refers to the preceding 12-month period or the previous calendar year when the same survey was conducted.

5.  **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.
        *   *Fit:* "Last year" refers to the preceding 12-month period. This fits the definition of a standard period of time.

    *   **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.
        *   *Fit:* No. This refers to specific institutional periods (like academic or fiscal years).

    *   **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.
        *   *Fit:* No. This is astronomical.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High.
        *   *Fit:* No. This refers to cohorts of people.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "last year" refers to the standard chronological unit of time (12 months). This corresponds to Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "the same as last year in both <t>cases</t>".
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text:** The sentence is: "Some 34% said they had confidence 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)."
3.  **Identify the referents:** The two items being compared are "their country's Congress" and "their government."
4.  **Determine the function of "cases":** "Cases" refers back to these two specific entities (Congress and government). It is used to mean "in both instances" or "in both situations."
5.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. an occurrence of something / instance, example. (Fits the meaning of "instance" or "situation.")
    *   2. a special set of circumstances / event. (Fits the meaning of "situation" or "circumstance.")

6.  **Compare Senses 1 and 2:**
    *   Sense 1: "an occurrence of something | synonyms=instance, example."
    *   Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances | synonyms=event."
7.  **Select the best fit:** In the phrase "in both cases," the meaning is "in both instances" or "in both situations." Both Sense 1 (instance) and Sense 2 (circumstance/event) are very close. However, Sense 1, using "instance," is the most direct and common interpretation when referring to specific examples or situations (Congress and Government). Sense 2 is also plausible, but Sense 1 captures the idea of referring back to specific examples (the two entities mentioned).

8.  **Final Check:** "The same as last year in both instances (Congress and Government)." This matches Sense 1.

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

Context: For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). 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 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence 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). A <t>decade</t> ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery.

Senses:
1. definition=a period of 10 years | synonyms=decennary, decennium
2. definition=the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system | synonyms=ten, 10, X, tenner

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

2.  **Examine the context:** The relevant sentence is: "A <t>decade</t> ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

3.  **Analyze the usage:** "A decade ago" refers to a point in time, specifically 10 years prior to the present time.

4.  **Analyze the senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a period of 10 years | synonyms=decennary, decennium
    *   Sense 2: definition=the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system | synonyms=ten, 10, X, tenner

5.  **Match the usage to the senses:**
    *   "A decade ago" means "10 years ago."
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "a period of 10 years."
    *   It does not align with Sense 2, which refers to the number 10 itself (e.g., "ten dollars").

6.  **Determine the final answer:** The correct sense is 1.

It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). 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 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence 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). A decade ago economic <t>woes</t> in Latin America undermined support for democracy. That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery.

Senses:
1. definition=misery resulting from affliction | synonyms=suffering
2. definition=intense mournfulness | synonyms=woefulness

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The relevant sentence is: "A decade ago economic <t>woes</t> in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

3.  **Analyze the Word "woes" in Context:**
    *   "Economic woes" refers to problems, difficulties, or hardships related to the economy (e.g., recession, low growth, instability).
    *   The context links these "woes" to undermining support for democracy.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=misery resulting from affliction | synonyms=suffering
    *   Sense 2: definition=intense mournfulness | synonyms=woefulness

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   "Economic woes" (economic problems/hardships) aligns best with the concept of *suffering* or *affliction* caused by economic conditions.
    *   Sense 1 (misery resulting from affliction / suffering) is the correct match.
    *   Sense 2 (intense mournfulness / woefulness) refers to emotional sadness (e.g., "a woeful cry"), which does not fit "economic woes."

6.  **Determine the Final Output:** The correct sense is 1.

That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American countries suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery.

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities | examples=his support kept the family together; they gave him emotional support during difficult times
2. definition=aiding the cause or policy or interests of | examples=the president no longer has the support of his own party; they developed a scheme of mutual support
3. definition=something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest | examples=the policy found little public support; his faith was all the support he needed
4. definition=a military operation (often involving new supplies of men and materiel) to strengthen a military force or aid in the performance of its mission | synonyms=reinforcement, reenforcement | examples=they called for artillery support
5. definition=documentary validation | synonyms=documentation | examples=his documentation of the results was excellent; the strongest support for this view is the work of Jones
6. definition=the financial means whereby one lives | synonyms=keep, livelihood, living, bread and butter, sustenance | examples=each child was expected to pay for their keep; he applied to the state for support

11. definition=financial resources provided to make some project possible | synonyms=financial support, funding, backing, financial backing | examples=the foundation provided support for the experiment

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "support" in the phrase "undermined support for democracy."
2.  **Determine the meaning in context:** "Support for democracy" refers to the level of approval, backing, or agreement that the public has for the democratic system.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. Providing necessities (financial/emotional). (Doesn't fit "support for democracy.")
    *   2. Aiding the cause or policy or interests of. (Fits perfectly: the public's backing/agreement for the cause of democracy.)
    *   3. Immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest. (Also fits, but Sense 2 is more precise regarding political/ideological backing.)
    *   4. Military operation/reinforcement. (Irrelevant.)
    *   5. Documentary validation. (Irrelevant.)
    *   6. Financial means of living. (Irrelevant.)
    *   7. Supporting structure/foundation. (Irrelevant.)
    *   8. Act of bearing weight/strengthening. (Irrelevant.)
    *   9. Musical part. (Irrelevant.)
    *   10. Device that bears weight. (Irrelevant.)
    *   11. Financial resources/funding. (Irrelevant.)
4.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of" (e.g., "the president no longer has the support of his own party"). This is the standard political usage.
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest" (e.g., "the policy found little public support"). This is also applicable, but Sense 2 captures the active endorsement/backing aspect inherent in political support more accurately.
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 2 is the most precise definition for "support for democracy."

6.  **Final check:** "Undermined support for democracy" means the backing/endorsement for democracy was weakened. This matches Sense 2.

That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery. In addition, a stronger social safety net has helped to shield the poor.

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
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

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 word "countries" appears in the sentence: "That it has held up during the world financial crisis is probably because many Latin American <t>countries</t> suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery."

2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/topic:** The text discusses economic recovery, output, democracy, political systems (Congress, government), and regional averages (Mexico and Brazil).

3.  **Determine the meaning of "countries" in this specific context:** The sentence refers to Latin American entities that experienced economic recessions and recoveries. These entities are political and economic units (like Mexico, Brazil, etc.).

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **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.
        *   *Match?* Yes. Latin American countries (Mexico, Brazil) are politically organized bodies/states. This fits the economic/political discussion.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match?* Possible, but less precise than Sense 1. While a country *is* territory, the context focuses on the *economic performance* and *political systems* of these entities, making the political/governmental definition (Sense 1) stronger.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match?* No. The text is talking about the *nations/states* themselves, not the population.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match?* No. This is the geographical/rural sense, which is irrelevant here.

    *   **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.
        *   *Match?* No. While Latin America is a region, the specific reference is to individual sovereign entities (Mexico, Brazil, etc.), not the general concept of a region.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, defining a country as a politically organized body/state, is the most accurate fit for the context discussing economic recovery and political systems in Latin America.

5. definition=harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design); - John Ruskin | synonyms=proportionality, balance | examples=in all perfectly beautiful objects there is found the opposition of one part to another and a reciprocal balance

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word "proportion" is used in the sentence: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the <t>proportion</t> of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "proportion" in this context:** The sentence is discussing the percentage (32%) of a specific group (Latin Americans) who are living in poverty. This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of poor people by the total population.

3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole. (This is the definition of a ratio or percentage.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=magnitude or extent | synonyms=dimension | examples=a building of vast proportions. (This refers to size/scale, not a calculated fraction.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=balance among the parts of something | synonyms=symmetry. (This refers to aesthetic balance.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree | synonyms=ratio | examples=an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations; a dry martini has a large proportion of gin. (This refers to a comparative quantity or ratio.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design); - John Ruskin | synonyms=proportionality, balance | examples=in all perfectly beautiful objects there is found the opposition of one part to another and a reciprocal balance. (This refers to aesthetic harmony/design.)

4.  **Compare the context meaning to the senses:**
    *   The context uses "proportion" to mean a calculated fraction or percentage (e.g., 32% of the population).
    *   Sense 1 is the precise mathematical definition of this concept (quotient of part/whole).
    *   Sense 4 is also very close, defining it as "the relation between things... with respect to their comparative quantity."

5.  **Refine the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 4:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *result* of the division (the quotient).
    *   Sense 4 focuses on the *relationship* (the ratio/degree).
    *   In common usage, when discussing statistics (like "the proportion of people"), both senses apply, but Sense 4 ("ratio" synonym) is often the broader, more encompassing definition used in general vocabulary, while Sense 1 is the strict mathematical definition.
    *   However, Sense 4 explicitly includes "ratio" as a synonym and covers "comparative quantity," which perfectly describes a percentage (32% compared to 100%).
    *   Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 4: "an inordinate proportion of the book is given over to quotations" (a large part/ratio) and "a dry martini has a large proportion of gin" (a large part/ratio). This fits the statistical context well.

6.  **Final Selection:** Both 1 and 4 are technically correct, but Sense 4 provides the most robust definition covering the concept of a statistical ratio or comparative quantity, which is what "proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty" represents. (If forced to choose the best fit for statistical usage, 4 is often preferred over the purely mathematical definition in 1, though 1 is also accurate.)

7.  **Check the prompt requirement:** Return only the number of the correct sense. (Choosing 4).
