The context shows "it is not necessary to know MathML," which means the user doesn't need to possess knowledge or information about MathML. This matches sense 1 (be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about), rather than sense 2 (know how to perform) or sense 7 (have fixed in the mind through memorization).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the sentence where "know" appears:

"If we want to understand how it works, the best thing we can do is to realize that our input is being converted into MathML although it is not necessary to <t>know</t> MathML."

The sentence is saying that it's not necessary to know MathML (to understand how the software works).

Let me examine what "know" means here:
- It's not about knowing a person (sense 4)
- It's not about sexual intercourse (sense 8)
- It's not about having an emotional experience (sense 5)
- It's not about recognizing character (sense 9)
- It's not about distinguishing (sense 10)
- It's not about perceiving as familiar (sense 11)

The sentence is about whether one needs to possess knowledge or understanding of MathML. This is about being cognizant or aware of something, or having knowledge about something.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" - This seems to fit. The example "I know that the President lied to the people" shows being aware of a fact.
2. "know how to do or perform something" - This is about skill/ability (She knows how to knit)
3. "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something" - This is similar but emphasizes truth/belief
7. "have fixed in the mind" - This is about memorizing/learning something like "I know Latin"

The key phrase is "it is not necessary to know MathML" - meaning you don't need to have knowledge of or be cognizant of MathML.

Sense 1 (be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about) is the best fit here. The person doesn't need to know (be aware of/have knowledge about) MathML.
Sense 7 involves memorization and retention, while sense 2 refers to practical ability—neither applies here. The answer is sense 1.

The sentence "I have based the syntax basically on common sense" uses "based" in the sense of establishing or founding something on the basis of something else. This matches sense 1: "use as a basis for; found on," which is supported by the synonyms (establish, ground, found) and the example "base a claim on some observation." The context clearly indicates that common sense serves as the foundation for the syntax design.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "based" in the given sentence.

The sentence is: "I have based the syntax basically on common sense, it should not be hard for anyone."

Breaking this down:
- The subject is "I"
- The action is "have based"
- What was based? "the syntax"
- Based on what? "on common sense"

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "use as a basis for; found on" with synonyms "establish, ground, found" and example "base a claim on some observation"
   - This fits the context perfectly. The speaker is using "common sense" as the basis for the syntax. This is similar to the example "base a claim on some observation."

2. Sense 2: "situate as a center of operations" with example "we will base this project in the new lab"
   - This doesn't fit well. The sentence is not about situating the syntax as a center of operations.

3. Sense 3: "use (purified cocaine) by burning it and inhaling the fumes"
   - This is clearly not the intended sense and is completely inappropriate for this technical context.

The best fit is clearly Sense 1. The speaker is saying that they have founded/established the syntax based on common sense, which matches the definition "use as a basis for; found on" and the example "base a claim on some observation."

The sense index would be 1.

The target word "hard" in the phrase "it should not be hard for anyone" means "difficult" or "requiring effort to understand." This directly matches sense 1, which defines "hard" as "not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure," with synonyms including "difficult" and examples like "a difficult task." The context indicates the author is explaining that the syntax should be easy (not hard/difficult) for people to comprehend.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "hard" appears:

"I have based the syntax basically on common sense, it should not be hard for anyone."

In this context, "hard" is describing something that should not be "hard" - meaning it should not be difficult or challenging. The phrase "it should not be hard for anyone" means "it should not be difficult for anyone to understand."

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure" - This means difficult. This fits perfectly with "it should not be hard for anyone" = "it should not be difficult for anyone."

2. "dispassionate" - Doesn't fit. "It should not be dispassionate for anyone" doesn't make sense in context.

3. "resisting weight or pressure" - This is the physical hardness meaning. Doesn't fit.

4. "very strong or vigorous" - Doesn't fit contextually.

5. "characterized by effort to the point of exhaustion" - This relates to difficult/arduous work, but the sense itself is about something being effortful/arduous, not about something being difficult to understand.

6. "produced without vibration of the vocal cords" - Linguistic/phonetic meaning. Doesn't fit.

7. "(of light) transmitted directly from a pointed light source" - About light. Doesn't fit.

8. "(of speech sounds); produced with the back of the tongue raised" - Linguistic meaning. Doesn't fit.

9. "given to excessive indulgence of bodily appetites" - About drinking habits. Doesn't fit.

10. "being distilled rather than fermented" - About alcohol. Doesn't fit.

11. "unfortunate or hard to bear" - About being tough/difficult to bear. Could potentially fit but less direct than sense 1.

12. "dried out" - About physical state. Doesn't fit.
Sense 1 is the clear winner—it directly captures the meaning of "difficult" and aligns with the example of "a difficult task." The speaker is saying the syntax shouldn't require effort or mental strain for anyone to grasp.

The context "I've looked closely to maxima and maple's syntax" indicates careful, attentive examination of the syntax. This matches sense 2, which defines "closely" as "in an attentive manner" with the example "he remained close on his guard," both implying focused, careful observation.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "closely" is being used.

Context: "I ve looked <t>closely</t> to maxima and maple s syntax so they look very similar."

The sentence means: "I have looked closely at maxima and maple's syntax so they look very similar."

Now let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=closely%4:02:00:: | definition=in a close relation or position in time or space | examples=the onsets were closely timed; houses set closely together
   - This refers to physical or temporal proximity/closeness
   - Example: "houses set closely together" - spatial closeness
   - Example: "the onsets were closely timed" - temporal closeness
   - This doesn't fit our context

2. sense_key=closely%4:02:02:: | definition=in an attentive manner | synonyms=close, tight | examples=he remained close on his guard
   - This means "with careful attention"
   - Example: "he remained close on his guard" - paying careful attention
   - This would fit our context - "I looked closely at" means "I examined attentively"

3. sense_key=closely%4:02:01:: | definition=in a close manner | synonyms=intimately, nearly | examples=the two phenomena are intimately connected; the person most nearly concerned
   - This means "in an intimate or near relationship"
   - The examples suggest deep connection or proximity
   - "the two phenomena are intimately connected" - closely related
   - "the person most nearly concerned" - most directly involved
   - This could also fit, but it's about relationship/connection

Given the context "I ve looked closely to maxima and maple s syntax", the meaning is "I examined/studied attentively the syntax of maxima and maple." This is about careful, attentive examination.

Sense 2 (in an attentive manner) seems like the best fit, as it refers to looking/examining something with careful attention.

Let me analyze the context and the target word "look" in the sentence:

"I ve looked closely to maxima and maple s syntax so they look very similar."

The sentence is talking about comparing the syntax of kalgebra to maxima and maple. The word "look" here is used to mean "appear" or "seem" - that they appear very similar.

Let me check each sense:

1. "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards" - This is about physically looking at something. Not applicable here.

2. "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - synonyms are "appear, seem". This fits! The syntax "looks very similar" means it "appears/seems very similar".

3. "have a certain outward or facial expression" - This is about facial expressions. "How does she look?" example. Not applicable.

4. "search or seek" - Not applicable.

5. "be oriented in a certain direction" - Not applicable.

6. "take charge of or deal with" - Not applicable.

7. "convey by one's expression" - Not applicable.

8. "look forward to the probable occurrence of" - Not applicable.

9. "accord in appearance with" - Close but not quite. This is more about matching in appearance.

10. "have faith or confidence in" - Not applicable.

The best fit is sense 2: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" with synonyms "appear, seem". In the sentence, "they look very similar" means "they appear/seem very similar" - expressing how the syntax appears or seems to the observer.

The word "very" in the context "they look very similar" functions as an intensifier modifying the adjective "similar," indicating a high degree of similarity. This matches the first sense, which defines "very" as "used as intensifiers" with examples like "she was very gifted" showing the same pattern of intensifying an adjective. The second sense (meaning "precisely so") would be inappropriate here, as it typically appears with nouns (e.g., "the very next page"), not adjectives.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "very".

The target word is "very" in the sentence: "I ve looked closely to maxima and maple s syntax so they look very similar."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=very%4:02:00:: | definition=used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | synonyms=really, real, rattling | examples=she was very gifted; he played very well
   - This sense describes "very" as an intensifier that modifies adjectives to indicate degree
   - Examples: "she was very gifted" (intensifying "gifted"), "he played very well" (intensifying "well")

2. sense_key=very%4:02:01:: | definition=precisely so | examples=on the very next page; he expected the very opposite
   - This sense describes "very" as meaning "precisely" or "exactly"
   - Examples show it modifying nouns: "the very next page", "the very opposite"

In the context sentence "they look very similar":
- "very" is modifying the adjective "similar"
- It's indicating the degree/intensity of similarity
- This is an intensifier use, not a "precisely so" use
- This matches the first sense perfectly

The sentence is saying the syntax looks very (to a high degree) similar, not that it looks "precisely similar" in some exact manner.

Therefore, the answer should be sense index 1.

The context describes kalgebra's syntax as looking "very similar" to maxima and maple's syntax, indicating a correspondence or resemblance in their characteristics. Sense 1 ("marked by correspondence or resemblance") best captures this usage, as it refers to things having matching or comparable features, which is exactly what is being conveyed when comparing the syntax of these programming/computational environments.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "similar".

In the context, the sentence is:
"I've looked closely to maxima and maple's syntax so they look very similar."

This is saying that the syntax of kalgebra looks very similar to the syntax of maxima and maple. The meaning here is that they have corresponding or resembling characteristics - the syntax looks alike.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "marked by correspondence or resemblance" - examples: "similar food at similar prices; problems similar to mine" - This seems to be about having correspondence or resemblance.

2. "having the same or similar characteristics" - synonyms: alike, like - examples: "all politicians are alike; they looked utterly alike" - This is about having the same or similar characteristics.

3. "resembling or similar; having the same or some of the same characteristics; often used in combination" - synonyms: like - examples: "suits of like design; a limited circle of like minds"

4. About words expressing closely related meanings - not applicable here as we're talking about syntax, not words.

5. About being replaceable/interchangeable - not the meaning here, we're not saying they're interchangeable.

The context is about kalgebra's syntax looking very similar to maxima and maple's syntax. This is clearly about resemblance or correspondence in characteristics.

Senses 1, 2, and 3 all seem related and very similar to each other. They all deal with resemblance or having similar characteristics.

Looking at the definitions more carefully:
- Sense 1: "marked by correspondence or resemblance" - very general
- Sense 2: "having the same or similar characteristics" - also general
- Sense 3: "resembling or similar; having the same or some of the same characteristics"

Actually, all three seem very similar. But sense 1 seems the most straightforward and general - "marked by correspondence or resemblance" with examples like "similar food at similar prices" which is exactly the kind of usage we have here.
Sense 1 is the best fit here.

The context explicitly refers to the `+` operator in a mathematical calculator (kalgebra) alongside other arithmetic operators (subtraction, multiplication, division). This clearly indicates the arithmetic operation of summing numbers, which corresponds to sense 6: "the arithmetic operation of summing; calculating the sum of two or more numbers." The synonyms (summation, plus) and examples (four plus three equals seven) align perfectly with this mathematical operation context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The target lemma is "addition" and we need to find the best sense.

The context is:
"+ - * /: <t>Addition</t>, subtraction, multiplication and division. ^, **: Power, you can use them both."

This is from a documentation about kalgebra, a mathematical calculation tool. The context is describing arithmetic operators:
- + is described as "Addition"
- - is subtraction
- * is multiplication
- / is division

This is clearly referring to the mathematical operation of adding numbers together.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=addition%1:06:00:: | definition=a component that is added to something to improve it | This is about adding something to improve something - not the math operation.

2. sense_key=addition%1:04:02:: | definition=the act of adding one thing to another | This is the act of adding in general - could be the math operation or other meanings.

3. sense_key=addition%1:23:00:: | definition=a quantity that is added | This is about the result/quantity added - not the operation itself.

4. sense_key=addition%1:21:00:: | definition=something added to what you already have | This is about something that has been added, not the operation.

5. sense_key=addition%1:15:00:: | definition=a suburban area laid out in streets and lots for a future residential area | This is about land/residential area - completely wrong.

6. sense_key=addition%1:04:01:: | definition=the arithmetic operation of summing; calculating the sum of two or more numbers | This is explicitly about the arithmetic operation of summing/adding numbers. Synonyms include "summation, plus" and examples show "the summation of four and three gives seven; four plus three equals seven"

Given the context where "+" is explicitly named "Addition" alongside other arithmetic operators (subtraction, multiplication, division) in a mathematical calculator software, the target is clearly the mathematical operation of adding numbers.
Sense 6 directly matches this usage—it defines addition as the arithmetic operation of summing numbers, includes "plus" as a synonym (which is the name of the + operator), and provides numerical examples like "four plus three equals seven." This is unambiguously the correct sense for how addition is used in kalgebra's operator documentation.

The context describes mathematical operations in a calculator application, specifically listing subtraction alongside addition, multiplication, and division as basic arithmetic operations. The target word refers to the arithmetic operation of calculating the difference between two numbers (4 - 3 = 1), which directly matches sense 1 with its definition "an arithmetic operation in which the difference between two numbers is calculated" and the synonym "minus."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "subtraction" is being referred to.

The context is about a calculator/computer algebra system (kalgebra) and its syntax for mathematical operations. The sentence states:

"+ - * /: Addition, <t>subtraction</t>, multiplication and division."

This is clearly describing mathematical operations and their symbols. The user is explaining that:
- + is Addition
- - is subtraction
- * is multiplication
- / is division

This is referring to the arithmetic operation itself - specifically the mathematical operation of calculating the difference between two numbers.

Now let me look at the two candidate senses:

Sense 1 (sense_key=subtraction%1:04:01::): "an arithmetic operation in which the difference between two numbers is calculated" with synonyms "minus" and examples like "the subtraction of three from four leaves one; four minus three equals one"

Sense 2 (sense_key=subtraction%1:04:00::): "the act of subtracting (removing a part from the whole)" with synonyms "deduction" and examples about money being subtracted from paychecks.

In the context provided, we're clearly talking about a mathematical operation - one of the basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). This is unmistakably referring to the arithmetic operation of calculating the difference between two numbers, which matches Sense 1 perfectly.

Sense 2 is more about the general act of removing something from a whole, which is broader and less specific to mathematics.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context clearly refers to multiplication as a basic arithmetic operation in a mathematical software (kalgebra), listed alongside addition, subtraction, and division. Sense 3 directly defines multiplication as "an arithmetic operation that is the inverse of division" with examples of numerical computation (four times three equals twelve), which perfectly matches the usage in the technical documentation.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "multiplication".

Context: The text is about kalgebra (a mathematical/calculator software). It's explaining the basic mathematical operations: "+ - * /: Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."

This is clearly a technical/mathematical context where they're describing basic arithmetic operations.

Now let's look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=multiplication%1:04:01:: - "the act of producing offspring or multiplying by such production" - This is about biological reproduction. Not relevant here.

2. sense_key=multiplication%1:22:00:: - "a multiplicative increase" with examples about copying leading to multiplication of errors and multiplication of cells. This is about a process of increase or proliferation. Not the mathematical operation.

3. sense_key=multiplication%1:04:00:: - "an arithmetic operation that is the inverse of division; the product of two numbers is computed" with examples "the multiplication of four by three gives twelve; four times three equals twelve" and synonym "times". This is clearly about the mathematical operation.

Given the context where they're listing mathematical operations (Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), and the operation symbols (* /), this is definitely referring to the mathematical arithmetic operation.

The answer is sense 3.

The context is clearly about mathematical operations in a calculator application. The passage lists basic arithmetic operations ("+", "-", "*", "/") with their names, and "division" here refers to the arithmetic operation of computing the quotient of two numbers. Sense 11 is the only candidate that captures this specific mathematical meaning.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a mathematical/calculator software (kalgebra) where the user is explaining how to do calculations. They list mathematical operations: "+ - * /: Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."

In this context, "division" refers to the mathematical operation of dividing numbers.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. Military army unit - not relevant
2. One of the portions something is divided into - not the right sense for mathematical operation
3. The act or process of dividing - this could work, but it's general
4. Administrative unit - not relevant
5. Discord that splits a group - not relevant
6. League/class ranking - not relevant
7. Biology organism grouping - not relevant
8. Botany taxonomic unit - not relevant
9. Air Force unit - not relevant
10. Naval unit - not relevant
11. An arithmetic operation that is the inverse of multiplication; the quotient of two numbers is computed - this is the mathematical operation sense
12. The act of dividing or partitioning; separation by the creation of a boundary - this is more general

The best match is sense 11 because it specifically refers to the arithmetic operation of division (computing the quotient of two numbers), which is exactly what is being discussed in the context of mathematical operations in a calculator software.

Sense 3 is more general (the act or process of dividing), while sense 11 is specifically about arithmetic division.

The context is about mathematical syntax for functions and calculations. The passage specifically mentions:
"^, **: <t>Power</t>, you can use them both. Also it is possible to use the unicode ² characters."

This is discussing mathematical notation where "^" and "**" are operators used for exponentiation - raising a number to a power.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. Possession of controlling influence - Not relevant to mathematics
2. Physics: rate of doing work - Not relevant to mathematics
3. Mental qualities to do something - Not relevant to mathematics
4. Holding office - Not relevant
5. One possessing influence or authority - Not relevant
6. "a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself" - This is about exponents/indices in mathematics - PERFECT MATCH
7. Physical strength - Not relevant

The context discusses using mathematical operators (^ or **) and unicode characters for their intended purpose in performing calculations. This clearly corresponds to sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose." The speaker is instructing that these symbols can be employed as tools for mathematical operations, which aligns directly with the definition and examples provided for this sense.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "use" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "Power, you can <t>use</t> them both. Also it is possible to use the unicode ² characters."

In this context, "use" means to put something into service or employ it for a particular purpose. The speaker is talking about using either "^" or "**" for power operations, or using unicode ² characters. This is clearly about putting these symbols/operators into practical service for calculations.

Let me check each sense:

1. sense_key=use%2:34:01:: - "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" - Examples include "use your head!; we only use Spanish at home" - This seems to fit. The sentence talks about using symbols/operators for their intended purpose in calculations.

2. sense_key=use%2:34:02:: - "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" - Example: "She uses drugs rarely" - This doesn't fit the context.

3. sense_key=use%2:34:00:: - "use up, consume fully" - This is about consuming something fully, doesn't fit.

4. sense_key=use%2:41:14:: - "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" - This is about using someone/something to one's advantage in a manipulative way. Doesn't fit.

5. sense_key=use%2:41:04:: - "avail oneself to" - Examples: "apply a principle; practice a religion" - This could work, but sense 1 is more direct.

6. sense_key=use%2:41:03:: - "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" - This requires past tense, and the example "She used to call her mother every week" shows this is specifically for past habit. The text uses present tense "you can use", so this doesn't fit.
Sense 1 is the clearest match—it captures the idea of employing mathematical operators for their intended function. The answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

The context states "it is possible to use the unicode ² characters," meaning it is capable of being done or feasible to use these characters. This aligns with sense 1 ("capable of happening or existing"), which describes something within the realm of feasibility or capability. Sense 2 ("existing in possibility") emphasizes hypothetical or potential scenarios, which is less fitting for describing an actual capability in the described syntax.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "possible" in this sentence:

"Also it is possible to use the unicode ² characters."

The sentence is explaining that one can use unicode characters for powers in this MathML syntax. The word "possible" here means that it is capable of happening or that one is able to do it - you can use unicode characters for this purpose.

Let me examine both senses:

1. Sense 1: "capable of happening or existing" with examples "a breakthrough may be possible next year; anything is possible"
   - This sense refers to something that is able to happen or exist, something within the realm of possibility

2. Sense 2: "existing in possibility" with synonyms "potential" and examples "a potential problem; possible uses of nuclear power"
   - This sense emphasizes the potential or hypothetical nature of something that could exist or be used

In the context "it is possible to use the unicode ² characters," we're saying that using unicode characters for powers is something that can be done, something that is capable of happening or being executed. This fits better with sense 1 - "capable of happening or existing" - because we're describing the capability to perform an action.

Sense 2 seems more about theoretical potential or hypothetical scenarios that might exist (like "potential problem" or "possible uses"), whereas sense 1 is about capability or feasibility of something happening.

The context here is about what you are able to do (use unicode characters), which aligns with "capable of happening or existing."

The answer should be sense index 1.

The context shows "use" being applied to unicode characters as a tool for representing mathematical powers. This is the prototypical sense of "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose," aligned with the synonyms "utilize" and "employ." The sentence describes using these characters as a practical method to accomplish the goal of notation, which matches sense 1 perfectly.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "use" in this sentence:

"Also it is possible to use the unicode ² characters."

The sentence is explaining syntax rules for mathematical notation. It's saying that you can use (employ/utilize) unicode superscript characters as an alternative way to represent powers.

Now let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=use%2:34:01:: - "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose" - This fits well. You are employing/utilizing unicode characters for the purpose of representing powers.

2. sense_key=use%2:34:02:: - "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" - This doesn't fit. The context isn't about consuming something regularly.

3. sense_key=use%2:34:00:: - "use up, consume fully" - This doesn't fit. We're not consuming or using up the characters.

4. sense_key=use%2:41:14:: - "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" - This doesn't quite fit. While you could argue the unicode characters are used to advantage, the primary meaning here is just about employing them as a tool.

5. sense_key=use%2:41:04:: - "avail oneself to" / "apply a principle" - This could fit. You are applying/using unicode characters.

6. sense_key=use%2:41:03:: - "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" - This doesn't fit. The sentence doesn't use the past tense form and isn't about habitual actions.

The best fit is sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose". The synonyms (utilize, apply, employ) all fit perfectly in this context. You are employing/utilizing the unicode characters for the purpose of representing powers.
This is the most straightforward interpretation—using something as a tool or method to accomplish a specific goal.

The context is explicitly about mathematical notation and operations. The passage discusses syntax for mathematical operations including "^" and "**" as "Power" operators, mentions unicode ² characters (exponentiation), and states "Powers are one way to make roots too" - all clearly referring to the mathematical exponent concept. Sense 6, "a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself," with synonyms "exponent, index," is the only sense that fits this mathematical context.

reasoning_content:
The user is asking me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "Powers" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
"Power, you can use them both. Also it is possible to use the unicode ² characters. Powers are one way to make roots too."

This is clearly about mathematical operations. The context discusses:
- Syntax for mathematical operations
- Power (^, **) as mathematical operators
- Using unicode ² characters (which represents squaring)
- "Powers are one way to make roots too"

The term "Powers" here is referring to the mathematical operation of raising a number to a power/exponent. This is about the mathematical notation where you raise a number to a power.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. possession of controlling influence - not relevant
2. (physics) rate of doing work - not relevant (though this uses the word "power" but in a physics context)
3. mental qualities required - not relevant
4. government office - not relevant
5. one possessing power/influence - not relevant
6. a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself - THIS IS IT
7. physical strength - not relevant
8. world power/superpower - not relevant
9. wealthy businessman - not relevant

Sense 6 is clearly the best fit: "a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself" with synonyms "exponent, index". This perfectly matches the context where "Powers are one way to make roots" - powers/exponents are indeed a mathematical notation used to perform operations.

The answer should be sense index 6.

The sentence "Powers are one way to make roots too" uses "way" to mean a method or means by which an end is achieved (making roots through powers). This matches sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with synonyms "means, agency." The context is describing powers as one method among possibly others for accomplishing the goal of creating/calculating roots.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "way" is used.

The full sentence is: "Powers are one <t>way</t> to make roots too."

This is saying that powers are one method/means to make roots. Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "manner" - how something is done or how it happens - This could fit, as "way" here means a method or manner of doing something.

2. "means" - how a result is obtained or an end is achieved - This also fits well. "Way" is being used as a means/method to achieve making roots.

3. "direction" - a line leading to a place or point - Doesn't fit.

4. "condition of things generally" - Doesn't fit.

5. "path" - a course of conduct - Could potentially fit as a metaphorical use.

6. "road or path" - physical path - Doesn't fit in this technical context.

7. "journey or passage" - Doesn't fit.

8. "space for movement" - Doesn't fit.

9. "property of distance" - Doesn't fit.

10. "doing as one pleases" - Doesn't fit.

11. "general category of things" - Doesn't fit.

12. "portion divided into shares" - Doesn't fit.

The best fit is sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with synonyms "means, agency".

In the context, "Powers are one way to make roots too" means powers are one means/method of creating/calculating roots. This is clearly about the method or means by which something is achieved.

Sense 1 about "manner" is close, but sense 2 "means" is more precise because the context is specifically about achieving an end result (making roots).
Sense 2 is the correct answer since it captures how powers function as a mechanism to accomplish the goal of making roots.

The context is clearly about mathematical syntax and operations. The sentence "Powers are one way to make roots too" refers to mathematical roots - the inverse operation of exponents. Sense 4 defines this mathematical concept: "a number that, when multiplied by itself some number of times, equals a given number," which is exactly the mathematical meaning needed here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "roots" is being used.

The context is about mathematical syntax:
"Powers are one way to make <t>roots</t> too."

This is discussing mathematical operations. The sentence is saying that powers (exponents) are one way to make roots. In mathematics:
- Roots are mathematical operations where you find a number that when multiplied by itself a certain number of times equals a given number
- For example, the square root of 9 is 3 (because 3 × 3 = 9)
- This is the inverse operation of powers/exponents

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. Botanical root - not relevant to mathematical context
2. Origin/beginning - could mean source of calculation, but not the mathematical meaning
3. Linguistic root - not relevant
4. A number that, when multiplied by itself some number of times, equals a given number - THIS IS IT. This is the mathematical definition of root.
5. Values that satisfy an equation - This is related (solution set), but less direct than sense 4
6. Ancestor - not relevant
7. Etymon - not relevant
8. Tooth root - not relevant

Sense 4 is clearly the best fit. The context is discussing mathematical operations (power, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and "roots" in mathematics refers to the mathematical operation where you find a number that when multiplied by itself some number of times equals a given number. This is exactly what sense 4 describes.

The word "too" in this context means "also" or "in addition." The sentence is stating that powers are an additional way (besides perhaps other methods) to make roots, which aligns with the sense "in addition" (synonyms: besides, also, likewise, as well).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "too" appears:

"Powers are one way to make roots <t>too</t>."

The sentence is saying that powers are one way to make roots. The word "too" here seems to mean "as well" or "also" - it's stating an additional point that powers can be used not just for one purpose but also for making roots.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=too%4:02:00:: - "to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits" (excessively, overly) - This would make the sentence read "Powers are one way to make roots excessively" which doesn't make sense.

2. sense_key=too%4:02:01:: - "in addition" (besides, also, likewise, as well) - This would make the sentence read "Powers are also one way to make roots" which makes perfect sense. It's adding an additional function/capability of powers.

The context clearly shows that "too" is being used to mean "also" or "in addition" - it's listing another use case for powers beyond what was previously mentioned.

The answer is sense 2.

The context describes "-gt" as "the way to specify the bounded variable in a function," which is asking about the manner or method of specifying something. This aligns with sense 1 (way%1:07:01::), which defines "way" as "how something is done or how it happens" with synonyms including "manner, mode, style, fashion." The word "way" here is functionally equivalent to "manner" or "method" - describing the mode by which an action is performed.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"-gt: It s the <t>way</t> to specify the bounded variable in a function."

This is discussing programming syntax where "-gt" is described as "the way to specify the bounded variable in a function."

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: | "how something is done or how it happens" - manner, mode, style, fashion
2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: | "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - means, agency
3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: | "a line leading to a place or point" - direction
4. sense_key=way%1:26:00:: | "the condition of things generally"
5. sense_key=way%1:04:00:: | "a course of conduct" - path, way of life
6. sense_key=way%1:06:00:: | "any artifact consisting of a road or path"
7. sense_key=way%1:04:02:: | "a journey or passage"
8. sense_key=way%1:23:00:: | "space for movement" - room, elbow room
9. sense_key=way%1:07:02:: | "the property of distance in general"
10. sense_key=way%1:09:00:: | "doing as one pleases or chooses"
11. sense_key=way%1:09:01:: | "a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of'"
12. sense_key=way%1:21:00:: | "a portion of something divided into shares"

In the context, "-gt" is "the way to specify the bounded variable in a function." This means it is the METHOD or MANNER by which you specify something. The sentence is asking "how do you specify a bounded variable?" The answer is "by using -gt" which is described as "the way to specify."
Sense 1 captures this perfectly—it describes the manner or mode in which something is performed. Sense 2 could work but emphasizes the means to achieve an end rather than the procedure itself. The word "way" here functions as a synonym for "method" or "manner," making sense 1 the strongest match.

The context describes how to "specify the bounded variable in a function" in mathematical syntax. This usage aligns with sense 2 ("decide upon or fix definitely"), which has the example "specify the parameters" - directly parallel to specifying a variable in a function. The user is describing how to designate or set which variable is bounded in the function definition.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "specify" in this sentence:

"-gt: It's the way to specify the bounded variable in a function."

The context is about Maxima and Maple syntax. The phrase "specify the bounded variable in a function" means to indicate or designate which variable is the bounded variable in a mathematical function.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "specify as a condition or requirement in a contract" - This is about making demands in agreements. Not relevant here.

2. "decide upon or fix definitely" - Examples include "fix the variables; specify the parameters". This is about setting or determining parameters, which fits the context of specifying a bounded variable.

3. "determine the essential quality of" - This is about defining the essential nature of something. Not quite right.

4. "be specific about" - This is about giving particular details. Could fit, but seems less precise.

5. "define clearly" - This is about clarifying or pinning down rules. Somewhat relevant.

6. "design or destine" - This is about intending something for a purpose. Not relevant.

7. "select something or someone for a specific purpose" - This is about assigning something for a particular purpose. Could fit.

The best fit is sense 2: "decide upon or fix definitely" with the example "specify the parameters" which is very similar to specifying a bounded variable in a function. This sense is about setting or determining something, which is what "specify the bounded variable" means in the context of mathematical syntax.

The phrase "specify the bounded variable in a function" clearly indicates a symbol (like x or y) representing a variable quantity in a mathematical expression, which is precisely what sense 4 describes.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "variable" is being used.

The context is about syntax in a mathematical/programming language (comparing Maxima and Maple). The specific phrase is:
"-gt: It s the way to specify the bounded <t>variable</t> in a function."

This is talking about a mathematical programming context where "variable" refers to a symbol used in a function.

Let me examine each sense:

1. Sense 1 (something that is likely to vary; something subject to variation) - This is a general meaning about things that can change.

2. Sense 2 (a quantity that can assume any of a set of values) - This is about a mathematical/logical concept of a quantity that can have different values.

3. Sense 3 (a star that varies noticeably in brightness) - This is astronomy-specific, clearly not relevant here.

4. Sense 4 (a symbol like x or y used in mathematical or logical expressions to represent a variable quantity) - This is explicitly about symbols used in mathematical/logical expressions.

In the context of programming languages and mathematical syntax, a "variable" in a function refers to a symbol that represents a value. Sense 4 is the most specific and appropriate, as it directly describes a symbol used in mathematical expressions.

Sense 2 could also work, but Sense 4 is more precise because it specifically mentions symbols (like x or y) which is exactly what we're talking about in the context of specifying a bounded variable in a function in a mathematical programming language.

The answer should be sense 4.
