Target lemma: year
Target surface form: year
Context:
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 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 <t>year</t>. 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=year%1:28:01:: | definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: | 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. sense_key=year%1:28:00:: | 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. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High

raw_output:
The context refers to a comparison of data points across different years, specifically mentioning "last year" and "up from 47% last <t>year</t>". This usage clearly indicates a temporal span of 365 (or 366) days, i.e., a calendar year, rather than a school year, a planetary revolution, or a class of students. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one denoting a calendar year.

The best indexed sense is:

raw_output:
The context describes a survey where individuals are being asked about their views on economic issues and leadership in the region. The term "respondents" refers to the people who are answering the survey questions. This aligns with the definition of "respondent" as someone who responds or answers, and the synonym "responder" further supports this interpretation. The other sense, related to a codefendant in a divorce proceeding, is clearly unrelated to the survey context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one defined as "someone who responds" with the synonym "responder".

The sense index for this definition in the provided list is 2.

Thus, the output is:

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "view" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text and the candidate senses:

**Context Analysis:**
- The sentence discusses "respondents... cite crime, rather than unemployment, as the most important problem facing their country."
- It then states, "Interestingly, 62% of respondents in Venezuela hold that **view** (and 80% there back private enterprise)..."
- Here, "view" refers to the respondents' opinion or perspective on the most important problem and their stance on private enterprise.

**Candidate Senses Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1 (opinion/perspective):** Fits well as it describes a way of regarding situations or topics, aligning with respondents' opinions on crime and private enterprise.
2. **Sense 2 (visual percept):** Irrelevant, as the context is about opinions, not visual scenes.
3. **Sense 3 (act of looking/observing):** Not suitable; the context is about held beliefs, not the act of looking.
4. **Sense 4 (range of the eye):** Irrelevant to the discussion of opinions.
5. **Sense 5 (personal belief not founded on proof):** Similar to Sense 1 but emphasizes lack of proof, which is not the focus here.
6. **Sense 6 (message expressing belief):** Less direct than Sense 1 for this context.
7. **Sense 7 (purpose/intention):** Not applicable; the context is about opinions, not intentions.
8. **Sense 8 (graphic representation):** Irrelevant.
9. **Sense 9 (range of interest/anticipation):** Not fitting for the opinion context.
10. **Sense 10 (outward appearance):** Irrelevant.

**Conclusion:**
The most appropriate sense is **Sense 1**, which captures the idea of a way of regarding situations or topics, i.e., the respondents' perspective on the most pressing issues and their support for private enterprise.

**JSON Response:**
```json
{"sense_index": 3}

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context refers to "their left-wing <t>president</t>, Hugo Chávez," indicating a political leader of a country (Venezuela) rather than an executive officer of a corporation, the head of a college, or a presiding officer at meetings. The mention of "left-wing" and the political actions of expropriating private companies further support the interpretation of a head of state. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one defining the head of state of a republic.

The best indexed sense is:

**sense_key=president%1:18:00:: | definition=the chief executive of a republic**

Thus, the correct sense index is 3.

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 <t>year</t>), followed by the United States (9%, unchanged from last year) and Venezuela (9%, down from 11% last year). 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.

raw_output:
The target word "year" in the context refers to a specific past time period mentioned alongside other years (e.g., "last year," "last <t>year</t>"). This usage aligns with the definition of a calendar year—a period of 365 (or 366) days marking a complete cycle of the calendar. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is:

**sense_key=year%1:28:01::** (a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days).

Thus, the best indexed sense is the first one.

Context:
Scalia and Thomas dine with healthcare law 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. The occasion was last Thursday, when all nine justices met for a conference to pour over the <t>petitions</t> for review. One of the cases at issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide.

raw_output:
The context describes the Supreme Court reviewing "petitions for review" related to a legal challenge to President Obama's healthcare law. This usage aligns with the definition of a petition as a formal request submitted to an authority, specifically the court, to consider a case. The second sense, referring to a reverent petition to a deity, does not fit the legal context. Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.
