Target lemma: rest
Target surface form: rest
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.

Context:
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 rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units.

To determine the best sense for "state" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

"The rest 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. The bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank Merrill Lynch. Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the <t>state</t>."

Key points from the context:
- The sentence discusses "liabilities with the state," implying a relationship between a financial institution (Citigroup) and a governing entity.
- The mention of "American taxpayer" and "liabilities" suggests a governmental or public financial obligation.
- The goal is to "free itself from its liabilities with the state," indicating that the state is acting as a creditor or regulator imposing financial constraints.

Given these points, the most appropriate sense is the one referring to the government or sovereign authority that imposes financial obligations or restrictions. This aligns with:

**sense_key=state%1:14:01:: | definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state | synonyms=nation, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has lowered its income tax**

This sense captures the idea of the state as a governing body with which Citigroup has financial liabilities, making it the best fit for the context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

To determine the best sense for "circles" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

> "reported **circles**."

The context involves a financial news report about banks raising capital and discussing liabilities with the state. The term "circles" here is used in a journalistic or reporting context, likely referring to a figure or diagram that visually represents data, such as a chart or graph. This usage aligns with the idea of something approximating the shape of a circle, which is used to convey information or data visually.

Given the candidate senses:

1. **Ellipse definition** – irrelevant to the context.
2. **Unofficial association** – does not fit the financial reporting context.
3. **Something approximating the shape of a circle** – fits the idea of a visual representation (e.g., a chart or graph) used in reporting.
4. **Movement once around a course** – unrelated to the context.
5. **Road junction** – unrelated.
6. **Street names for flunitrazepan** – unrelated.
7. **Tier of seats** – unrelated.
8. **Circular mechanism** – unrelated.

The most appropriate sense is the one describing a visual representation or diagram that approximates a circle, which is sense 3.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "support" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

> Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their **support** in June.

The context involves financial institutions repaying something they received during a difficult time, specifically in relation to government assistance or bailout funds. The key phrase "repaid their support" suggests that the institutions are returning or settling a form of aid or assistance they had previously received.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **support%1:04:04::** - Refers to providing financial or material aid. This aligns with the idea of repaying assistance received during a crisis.
2. **support%1:04:00::** - Refers to aiding a cause or policy. Less specific to the repayment of financial aid.
3. **support%1:09:00::** - Refers to immaterial assistance. Too vague for the specific repayment context.
4. **support%1:04:03::** - Refers to military reinforcement. Irrelevant to financial institutions.
5. **support%1:04:02::** - Refers to documentary validation. Not applicable.
6. **support%1:21:00::** - Refers to livelihood or financial means of living. Not about repayment of aid.
7. **support%1:06:01::** - Refers to a supporting structure. Irrelevant.
8. **support%1:04:01::** - Refers to bearing weight or strengthening. Not applicable.
9. **support%1:10:01::** - Refers to musical accompaniment. Irrelevant.
10. **support%1:06:00::** - Refers to any device that bears weight. Irrelevant.
11. **support%1:21:01::** - Refers to financial resources provided to make a project possible. While related to financial aid, it emphasizes the provision of resources for a project rather than the repayment of previously received aid.

The most fitting sense is **support%1:04:04::**, which describes the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities. This sense directly captures the idea of repaying financial assistance received during a crisis.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}

raw_output:
The context describes a trial involving the killing of "three members of a Cheshire, Conn., <t>family</t>." This clearly refers to a group of people related by blood or marriage—parents and children—rather than a household, a biological taxonomic group, or any of the other senses listed. The most appropriate sense is the one that denotes "people descended from a common ancestor," which aligns with the reference to specific individuals within a family unit.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:
