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 <t>respondents</t> 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).

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "country" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses attitudes towards democracy, economic growth, and the functioning of democratic institutions in various countries in South America, specifically mentioning Peru, Mexico, and Brazil. 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..."

Let's examine the candidate 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"
   - This sense refers to the political entity or government.

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 sense refers to the geographical territory of a nation.

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 sense refers to the population or citizens of a country.

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 sense is unrelated to the context, as it refers to a rural or non-urban area.

5. **Definition: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary**
   - Synonyms: area
   - Examples: "it was a mountainous area; Bible country"
   - This sense is also somewhat unrelated, as it refers to any geographical region, not necessarily a country in the political or national sense.

Given the context, the target word "country" is used in the phrase "their country's democracy works in practice," which implies the functioning of the political system or government of a nation.

- Sense 1 refers to a politically organized body of people, which aligns with the concept of a country's democracy and government.
- Sense 2 refers to the territory, which could be a possible interpretation but is less directly related to the functioning of democracy.
- Sense 3 refers to the people of a nation, which could also be a plausible interpretation since the satisfaction with democracy could be seen as reflecting the people's view.

However, the phrase "their country's democracy works in practice" more directly relates to the political system or government (Sense 1) than to the people themselves, although it's closely related to Sense 3 as the people's satisfaction is being discussed.

Upon closer inspection, the use of "country's democracy" suggests that "country" is being used to refer to the political entity or the state of the nation, rather than just its people or territory. Thus, the most appropriate sense is Sense 1, as it directly relates to the political organization and governance.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "country" in this context is **1**.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "democracy" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions in certain countries, particularly in South America. It mentions support for democracy, satisfaction with how democracy works in practice, and confidence in governmental institutions like Congress and the government.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives.
   - **Sense 2**: Describes a political system where the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect representatives. It is synonymous with "republic" and "commonwealth."
   - **Sense 3**: Relates to the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group, also known as "majority rule."

3. **Analyzing the Context for Sense Disambiguation**:
   - The passage talks about "support for democracy," "satisfaction with how their country's democracy works in practice," and confidence in governmental institutions. This indicates a discussion about the functioning and perception of a political system.
   - The term "democracy" here is used to refer to the actual system or form of government in place, rather than the ideology or doctrine behind it.

4. **Matching the Context to the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1** (political orientation) is relevant but not the primary focus since the passage is more about the system and people's satisfaction with it rather than just the orientation towards democracy.
   - **Sense 2** (political system) fits well because the discussion revolves around how democracy functions in practice, people's satisfaction with it, and their confidence in related institutions. This suggests that "democracy" refers to the system of government.
   - **Sense 3** (majority rule doctrine) is not directly relevant as the passage does not explicitly discuss the decision-making process or the doctrine behind democracy.

5. **Conclusion**: The best fit for the context provided is **Sense 2**, as it directly relates to the political system in place and how it is perceived by the populace. The discussion is centered around the functioning of democracy as a system of government.

Therefore, the JSON response is: {"sense_index": 2}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "figure" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence 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 increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."

Here, "figure" refers to a numerical value or percentage that represents the proportion of respondents satisfied with their country's democracy. The context is discussing statistical data and trends in public opinion regarding democracy.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A diagram or picture illustrating textual material - Not relevant as the context is about numerical data, not illustrations.
2. Alternative names for the body of a human being - Not relevant as the context is statistical.
3. One of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration - While "figure" can mean a digit, the context here is more about a statistical value or percentage rather than a single digit.
4. A model of a bodily form - Not relevant as the context is not about physical models.
5. A well-known or notable person - Not relevant as the context is statistical.
6. A combination of points and lines and planes that form a visible palpable shape - Not relevant as the context is not geometric.
7. An amount of money expressed numerically - Not relevant as the context is about percentages, not monetary amounts.
8. The impression produced by a person - Not relevant as the context is statistical.
9. The property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals - This sense is relevant because "figure" here refers to a numerical value or percentage, which is a quantity.
10. Language used in a figurative or nonliteral sense - Not relevant as the context is literal and statistical.
11. A unitary percept having structure and coherence - Not directly relevant as the context is not about perception in this sense.
12. A decorative or artistic work - Not relevant as the context is statistical.
13. A predetermined set of movements in dancing or skating - Not relevant as the context is not about performance or sports.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is that "figure" refers to a numerical value or quantity, which aligns with sense 9, "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals," as it is about a number or quantity (44% in this case).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "figure" in this context is 9.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "increase" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the trend of support for democracy in certain South American countries. It mentions specific percentages and changes in public opinion over the years regarding satisfaction with democracy.

2. **Target Word Context**: The sentence where "increase" appears 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 increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)." Here, "increase" refers to the difference or change in the percentage of people satisfied with their democracy between 2001 and the current year.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. a quantity that is added**: This sense refers to something being added to something else. The examples given relate to additions or gains, which could fit the context of an "increase" in percentage.
   - **2. a change resulting in an increase**: This is more about the event or fact of something becoming larger or more numerous. While it could relate, it's somewhat generic.
   - **3. a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important**: This sense focuses on the process or trend of something increasing. The example given is "the increase in unemployment," which is similar in structure to the context provided.
   - **4. the amount by which something increases**: This directly refers to the quantity or magnitude of the increase. The example "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" directly quantifies an increase.
   - **5. the act of increasing something**: This implies an action or decision to make something larger or more numerous. The example given is "he gave me an increase in salary," indicating an action taken.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context indicates a comparison between two percentages (25% in 2001 and 44% in the current year), highlighting a positive change or difference.
   - The word "increase" here directly refers to the **amount or quantity by which something has increased** (from 25% to 44%).
   - Sense 4 ("the amount by which something increases") directly corresponds to this interpretation, as it is about quantifying the change.

5. **Conclusion**: The best sense for "increase" in the given context is the one that refers to "the amount by which something increases." This corresponds to **sense_index: 4**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "chart" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context discusses statistics and trends related to attitudes towards democracy in various countries, particularly in South America. It mentions specific percentages and comparisons over time, referencing "table 1," "chart 2," and "chart 3." The use of "chart" here is associated with the presentation of data, such as percentages of people supporting democracy or being satisfied with their country's democratic processes.

The two candidate senses for "chart" are:
1. A visual display of information.
2. A map designed to assist navigation by air or sea.

Given the context, "chart" is used to refer to a visual representation of statistical data (e.g., "see chart 2," "chart 3"). This usage aligns with the first sense: "a visual display of information." The text does not relate to navigation or maps, which rules out the second sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "chart" in this context is the first one.

1. The first sense refers to "freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities." The context, however, is about people's trust in institutions (Congress and government), not about personal beliefs or abilities. So, this sense doesn't fit well.

2. The second sense is "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)." The context is about people's trust in their country's institutions, which aligns with this definition. The examples given ("I have confidence in our team; confidence is always borrowed, never owned") also suggest a trust or faith in entities or groups.

3. The third sense, "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable," relates to a general positive outlook on future events. While related to trust, it's more about a general feeling towards the economy or a situation rather than specific institutions.

4. The fourth sense, "a trustful relationship," implies a personal or close relationship based on trust. The context doesn't suggest that respondents have a personal or direct trustful relationship with their Congress or government; rather, it's about their trust or faith in these institutions.

5. The fifth sense refers to "a secret that is confided or entrusted to another," which is unrelated to the context of trust in institutions.

Given the context, the most relevant definition is the second sense: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)." The sentence discusses having "confidence in their country's Congress and government," which directly relates to trusting these institutions.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "confidence" in this context is the second sense.

Target lemma: country
Target surface form: country
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 confidence in their <t>country</t>'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.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "country" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses support for democracy in various countries in South America, mentioning specific nations like Peru, Mexico, and Brazil, and referencing their economic conditions and political sentiments. The target sentence contains the phrase "their country's democracy," indicating that "country" refers to the political entity or the people associated with it.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Definition: a politically organized body of people under a single government** - This sense refers to a nation or state as a political entity. The synonyms include "state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic." The example "African nations" supports the use of "nation" as a synonym. This sense is plausible because the context discusses countries in terms of their political aspects (democracy, Congress, government).

2. **Definition: the territory occupied by a nation** - This sense focuses on the geographical aspect of a country. While related to the first sense, it emphasizes the land rather than the political organization or people. The context does not directly focus on the geographical aspects of the countries mentioned.

3. **Definition: the people who live in a nation or country** - This sense directly refers to the population or citizens of a country. The synonym "nation" is used, and an example is given as "a statement that sums up the nation's mood." The phrase "their country's democracy" can be interpreted as referring to the democratic system of the people or nation, suggesting this sense is relevant.

4. and 5. are less relevant as they refer to "an area outside of cities and towns" and "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary," respectively. These do not directly relate to the context of discussing countries in terms of political entities or their people.

Given the context, the target word "country" is used in the possessive form ("their country's democracy"), indicating it refers to the political entity or the people associated with it. Both sense 1 and sense 3 could potentially fit this interpretation. However, sense 3 directly refers to "the people who live in a nation or country," which aligns with the possessive usage ("their country's democracy") implying the democracy of the people or for the people of that country.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "country" in the given context is **3**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Congress" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses political and economic trends in countries on the Pacific rim of South America, specifically mentioning Peru, Mexico, and Brazil. It talks about support for democracy, economic growth, and confidence in governmental institutions.

2. **Target Word Context**: The target word "Congress" appears in the sentence, "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government..." Here, "Congress" is mentioned alongside "government" as an institution in the respondents' countries.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. United States Congress, U.S. Congress**: This sense is specific to the legislature of the United States. While the passage does discuss countries in the Americas, it does not specifically focus on the United States.
   - **2. a meeting of elected or appointed representatives**: This is a more general definition that could apply to various legislative or representative gatherings. However, it is not as directly related to a national legislative assembly as another option is.
   - **3. a national legislative assembly**: This definition fits well with the context, as it refers to a legislative body at the national level, which could apply to countries like Peru, Mexico, and Brazil, all of which have such institutions.
   - **4. sexual intercourse**: This sense is unrelated to the context of political and governmental institutions.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The passage is discussing national institutions in various South American countries, not specifically the United States. Thus, sense 1 is less likely.
   - Sense 4 is completely unrelated to the context.
   - Between senses 2 and 3, sense 3 ("a national legislative assembly") is more specific and directly relevant to the context of discussing confidence in a country's legislative body.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "Congress" in the given context is "a national legislative assembly," which corresponds to **sense_index: 3**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "government" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses public opinion and satisfaction with democratic institutions in several South American countries, specifically mentioning confidence in their country's Congress and government. The sentence where "government" appears 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)."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit." The synonyms provided are "authorities" and "regime." The example given is "the government reduced taxes; the matter was referred to higher authorities." This sense fits well with the context, as "government" here refers to the governing body or organization of a country.

2. The second sense is "the act of governing; exercising authority." Synonyms include "governing," "governance," "government activity," and "administration." An example is "regulations for the governing of state prisons; he had considerable experience of government." While this sense is related to the actions or processes of governing, the context seems to refer more directly to the entity being governed or having confidence in, rather than the act itself.

3. The third sense is defined as "(government) the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed." An example given is "tyrannical government." This sense refers to the system or structure of governance rather than the governing body itself.

4. The fourth sense is "the study of government of states and other political units," with synonyms "politics" and "political science." This sense is clearly not relevant to the context, as the discussion is not about the academic study of government.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly refers to the governing authority or organization of a country, which is what people are expressing confidence in. The sentence structure implies that "government" is an entity similar to "Congress," which is also an institution.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "government" in this context is the first sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "year" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses changes in support for democracy in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America over time, referencing specific percentages and comparing them across different years (e.g., 2001, 2003, 2005, and "this year," "last year").

1. The first sense defines "year" as "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days." The examples given include "she is 4 years old" and "in the year 1920." This sense aligns with the general understanding of a year as a unit of time.

2. The second sense refers to "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity," such as "a school year." This sense is more specific to contexts where "year" is used in relation to a specific activity or cycle.

3. The third sense is "the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun." An example given is "a Martian year takes 687 of our days." This definition is more astronomical.

4. The fourth sense defines "year" as "a body of students who graduate together," synonymous with "class." Examples include "the class of '97."

Given the context, the word "year" is used to refer to a general period of time corresponding to the calendar year, as in comparisons across different calendar years (e.g., "last year," "this year," "2001," "2003," "2005"). The usage fits the first sense, which describes a year as a period of 365 or 366 days, aligning with how "year" is used in the context to denote calendar years.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "year" in the given context is the first sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "cases" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

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)."

The word "cases" here refers to the situations or instances being discussed, specifically the confidence in Congress and the government.

Let's look at the candidate senses and their definitions:
1. an occurrence of something
2. a special set of circumstances
3. a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law
4. the actual state of things
5. a portable container for carrying several objects
6. a person requiring professional services
7. a person who is subjected to experimental or other observational procedures
8. a problem requiring investigation
9. a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument
10. the quantity contained in a case
11. nouns or pronouns or adjectives related in some way to other words in a sentence
12. a specific state of mind that is temporary
13. a person of a specified kind
14. a specific size and style of type within a type family
15. an enveloping structure or covering enclosing an animal or plant organ or part
16. the housing or outer covering of something
17. the enclosing frame around a door or window opening
18. the receptacle in which a compositor has his type
19. bed linen consisting of a cover for a pillow
20. a glass container used to store and display items

The use of "cases" in the sentence refers to the two instances or situations being compared (confidence in Congress and confidence in the government). The phrase "in both cases" is used to indicate that the comparison is being made across these two specific situations.

The most relevant definition here is "an occurrence of something" or "a special set of circumstances," as "cases" refers to the instances or situations of confidence in Congress and government.

Between senses 1 and 2, sense 1 ("an occurrence of something") is more suitable because it directly relates to instances or examples, and "in both cases" is a common idiomatic expression used to refer to two instances or situations.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "cases" in the given context is sense 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "decade" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context discusses economic growth, support for democracy, and the recovery of Latin American countries from economic woes and the world financial crisis. The sentence containing the target word is: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

The two candidate senses for "decade" are:
1. A period of 10 years.
2. The cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system.

Given the context, the word "decade" is used to refer to a period of time, specifically 10 years, before the current time of reference. The sentence implies that economic difficulties in Latin America occurred approximately 10 years prior to the time of writing, which undermined support for democracy.

The use of "decade" here aligns with the first definition: "a period of 10 years." This is because it refers to a span of time rather than the numerical value itself. The synonyms provided for this sense, "decennary" and "decennium," also support this interpretation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "decade" in this context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "woes" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the economic situation and its impact on democracy in Latin America. It mentions that a decade ago, economic issues negatively affected support for democracy but notes an improvement in recent years due to strong economic recovery.

2. **Target Word**: The target word is "woes," which is a plural form of "woe." The context in which "woes" is used is: "A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy."

3. **Candidate Senses**:
   - Sense 1: misery resulting from affliction | synonyms=suffering
   - Sense 2: intense mournfulness | synonyms=woefulness

4. **Analysis of Candidate Senses**:
   - The first sense refers to "misery resulting from affliction" and is associated with the synonym "suffering." In the context, "economic woes" can be understood as economic difficulties or problems that caused suffering or affliction.
   - The second sense is related to "intense mournfulness" with the synonym "woefulness." While this could potentially fit a broad interpretation of "woes," it is more closely associated with sorrow or grief rather than the specific challenges or difficulties implied by "economic woes."

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context, "economic woes" clearly refers to economic difficulties or problems. The first sense, "misery resulting from affliction," aligns well with this interpretation because economic difficulties can cause misery or suffering.
   - The use of "undermined support for democracy" suggests that the "woes" had a negative impact, which is consistent with the idea of suffering or affliction caused by economic issues.

6. **Conclusion**: The best fit for "woes" in the given context is the first sense, which corresponds to misery or suffering resulting from economic affliction.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: support
Target surface form: support
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).

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "countries" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses various countries in Latin America, their economic conditions, and the people's perception of democracy. The term "countries" is used in reference to political entities with their own governments and economies.

1. The first sense defines "country" as "a politically organized body of people under a single government." The context supports this sense as it talks about countries having their own governments and economies, and people's confidence in their country's Congress and government.

2. The second sense refers to "the territory occupied by a nation." While this could be a plausible interpretation, the context focuses more on the political and social aspects rather than just the geographical territory.

3. The third sense is "the people who live in a nation or country." The context sometimes refers to the people within countries (e.g., "respondents across the region"), which could relate to this sense. However, the primary focus is on the countries as entities rather than just their populations.

4. The fourth sense, "an area outside of cities and towns," is not relevant to the context as it discusses countries in a geopolitical sense, not rural vs. urban areas.

5. The fifth sense, "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary," is also not the best fit because the context refers to countries as defined political entities, not vague geographical regions.

Given the context and the candidate senses, the first sense ("a politically organized body of people under a single government") is the most appropriate. It aligns with how "countries" is used in the passage, referring to political entities with governments and economies.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "recovery" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the economic situation in Latin America, mentioning that many countries suffered a brief recession but have since enjoyed a strong recovery. This is linked to the discussion about the support for democracy in the region and how economic factors have influenced this support.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "return to an original state" with an example related to the recovery of a forest after a fire. This sense is relevant in the context of economic recovery, where it implies returning to a previous state of economic health or stability.

2. The second sense refers to "gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury," which is not directly related to economic contexts but rather to health.

3. The third sense is about "the act of regaining or saving something lost," which could potentially apply to economic recovery in a broad sense, as it involves regaining lost economic ground.

Given the context, the discussion is centered around economic recovery. The sentence mentions that Latin American countries "suffered only a brief recession and have enjoyed a strong recovery." This indicates that "recovery" here refers to the economy returning to a healthier or more original state after a downturn.

The first sense, "return to an original state," fits this context well as it aligns with the idea of an economy recovering from a recession. The example given, though not economic, illustrates the concept of returning to a previous state, which is applicable to economic recovery.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "recovery" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "safety net" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context discusses the political and economic situation in Latin America, focusing on the resilience of support for democracy despite economic challenges. It mentions that a stronger social "safety net" has helped to shield the poor during the world financial crisis.

The two candidate senses for "safety net" are:
1. A guarantee of professional or financial security.
2. A large strong net to catch circus acrobats who fall or jump from a trapeze.

Given the context, the discussion is about economic and social support systems in Latin America, not about circus performances or literal nets. The term "social safety net" is commonly used to refer to programs or policies that provide financial assistance or support to individuals or groups in need, thereby ensuring a certain level of economic security.

The use of "social" before "safety net" and the discussion about shielding the poor during economic hardship aligns with the first sense: a guarantee of professional or financial security. This is further supported by the mention of the United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reporting on poverty rates, which ties into the idea of economic or financial security.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "safety net" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "week" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "week" appears is: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%." Here, "week" refers to a recent period of time when the United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America made a report.

2. **Understanding the Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "any period of seven consecutive days" with examples like "it rained for a week". This sense is general and refers to any seven consecutive days.
   - **Sense 2**: "hours or days of work in a calendar week", related to the concept of a "workweek". This doesn't directly apply to the context of reporting news or events.
   - **Sense 3**: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday", defining a "calendar week". While this is a specific interpretation of a week, the context doesn't necessarily tie the reporting to a specific starting day.

3. **Analyzing the Context for "week"**: The phrase "reported this week" is commonly used in news to indicate that something was reported recently, within the last seven days. It doesn't necessarily refer to a specific calendar week starting on Sunday (Sense 3) or to working hours (Sense 2).

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The use of "this week" indicates a recent period, aligning with the general concept of a week as any seven consecutive days (Sense 1). The phrase is used to indicate the report was made recently, not specifying the exact days or relation to a workweek.
   - The context doesn't specifically relate to working hours or days (ruling out Sense 2).
   - While "this week" could imply a calendar week in some contexts, the critical aspect here is the recency of the report, not that it started on a Sunday or followed a specific calendar structure (making Sense 3 less directly relevant).

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense is Sense 1 because "this week" is used to indicate that the report was made recently, within a general period of seven consecutive days, not necessarily tied to a specific calendar week or workweek.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "week" in the given context is Sense 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "proportion" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the percentage of Latin Americans living in poverty, citing a specific figure (32%) and comparing it to previous years. The sentence in which "proportion" appears is: "The United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America reported this week that the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty rose only marginally in 2009 and has fallen again this year, to 32%."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole** - This definition refers to a fraction or percentage that represents a part of a whole. The context mentions "the proportion of Latin Americans living in poverty," which directly relates to the fraction or percentage of a population that is in poverty.

2. **magnitude or extent** - This sense is related to the size or scale of something. While it could broadly apply, the specific context here is about a fraction of the population, not the extent or magnitude of poverty itself.

3. **balance among the parts of something** - This refers to a state of symmetry or equilibrium. The context does not discuss balance or symmetry among different parts.

4. **the relation between things (or parts of things) with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree** - This definition is about comparing quantities or magnitudes. The context compares the quantity of people in poverty over different years, which fits this sense.

5. **harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole** - This is about a pleasing or aesthetically balanced arrangement. The context is statistical and does not relate to aesthetic balance.

Given the context, the word "proportion" is used to describe a fraction or percentage of the population that is living in poverty. The most relevant definitions are sense 1 ("the quotient obtained when the magnitude of a part is divided by the magnitude of the whole") and sense 4 ("the relation between things... with respect to their comparative quantity, magnitude, or degree"). Sense 1 directly corresponds to the fraction or percentage of a population, which is the most straightforward interpretation in this context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "proportion" in this context is **1**.
