Context:

In this context, "educational limitations" refers to deficiencies or constraints related to the process of education and academic learning. The phrase describes limitations within the educational domain itself, not something that provides knowledge or is instructive. This aligns with sense 1: "relating to the process of education," which is similar to how we use "educational psychology" to describe something pertaining to education processes.

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

The target word is "educational" in: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

Let me look at the two senses:

1. sense_key=educational%3:01:00:: | definition=relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology
   - This is an adjective that modifies something by relating it to the process of education itself. Example: educational psychology relates to the psychology of education processes.

2. sense_key=educational%5:00:00:instructive:00 | definition=providing knowledge | examples=an educational film
   - This sense means something that provides knowledge or is instructive in nature. Example: an educational film is one that teaches/provides knowledge.

In the context, "educational limitations of their children" refers to limitations related to the process of education or academic/learning abilities. It's describing limitations that pertain to education (the process), not limitations that provide knowledge or are instructive.

The phrase "educational limitations" is talking about deficiencies in educational performance/achievement. This is more aligned with sense 1 - relating to the process of education.

If it were sense 2 (instructive/providing knowledge), we would expect something like "an educational limitation" meaning a limitation that teaches or provides knowledge, which doesn't fit the context well.

Sense 1 is the better fit because "educational limitations" means limitations within the educational domain/process.

The answer is sense 1.

The context "educational limitations of their children" refers to deficiencies or shortcomings in the children's educational abilities. This matches sense 2, which defines limitation as "the quality of being limited or restricted" with an example about a plan having "serious limitations." The term here refers to the weaknesses or constraints in the children's educational performance.

Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "limitations" in this passage.

The context is: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=limitation%1:09:00:: - "a principle that limits the extent of something" with synonyms "restriction" and example about restrictions on movements. This is about an abstract principle or rule that restricts.

2. sense_key=limitation%1:07:00:: - "the quality of being limited or restricted" with example "it is a good plan but it has serious limitations". This is about having deficiencies or shortcomings - the quality of being limited.

3. sense_key=limitation%1:23:00:: - "the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed" with example about limits on amounts. This is about maximum extent/amounts.

4. sense_key=limitation%1:28:00:: - "(law) a time period after which suits cannot be brought". This is a legal term - statute of limitations.

5. sense_key=limitation%1:04:00:: - "an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)". This is about the action or process of limiting.

In the context, "educational limitations of their children" refers to the deficiencies, shortcomings, or weaknesses in the children's education. It's talking about what the children lack or are lacking in terms of educational abilities/achievement.

This best fits sense 2: "the quality of being limited or restricted" - it's referring to the fact that the children have limitations (deficiencies/shortcomings) in their education. The example "it is a good plan but it has serious limitations" is very similar in meaning - referring to shortcomings or weaknesses.

The answer should be sense 2.

The context refers to parents and "their children" in a discussion about education and educational performance. The word is used to mean biological offspring or descendants of parents, which can apply to children of any age (from school-age through college-age, as implied by the example about sending "kids to college"). This matches sense 2: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "child" is being used when referring to "children" in this passage.

The sentence reads: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

Looking at the context:
- This is about education policy and parental involvement
- The passage discusses "very early exposure to schooling" and performance in "the first grade"
- Parents are talking about getting their kids to college later ("they were able to send their kids to college")
- The passage discusses "educational limitations of their children" in the context of school performance

Now let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=child%1:18:00:: - "a young person of either sex" - This would be a specific age group, children (typically pre-adult)

2. sense_key=child%1:18:01:: - "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" - This refers to offspring regardless of age, biological children of parents

3. sense_key=child%1:18:06:: - "an immature childish person" - This would refer to someone acting childishly, not applicable here

4. sense_key=child%1:18:07:: - "a member of a clan or tribe" - Not relevant to this context

The key phrase is "educational limitations of their children" - the parents blame schools for the limitations of their children. This could be interpretation 1 (young people) or 2 (offspring of any age).

However, looking at the examples in sense 2: "they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college" - this specifically mentions sending kids to college, which implies offspring of any age, since college students could be older.

In sense 1, the examples are "she writes books for children; they're just kids" - these seem to be specifically about young children.

The context talks about "educational limitations" and parents' involvement in school, which could apply to children of any age in the family. The passage seems to be about parents in general and their children's education, not specifically young children.
Sense 2 fits best here. The passage uses "children" to mean biological offspring without age restriction, particularly since the example about sending kids to college suggests the term encompasses offspring across different life stages. The broader educational context doesn't limit the reference to young children specifically.

The target word is "Parents" in the context provided. Let me analyze which sense is being used.

Looking at the context:
"Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school. They should see to it that their kids do not play truant; they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should scrutinize the report card."

The context is clearly talking about human parents who:
- Are involved with their children's education
- See to it that their kids don't play truant
- Make sure children do homework
- Scrutinize report cards

This is clearly referring to mothers and fathers - humans who have children and are responsible for their upbringing and education.

Sense 1: "a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian" - This matches perfectly. It refers to humans (fathers and mothers) who nurture and raise children.

Sense 2: "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained" - This is a more biological/general sense that could apply to any organism that produces offspring.

Given the context about human parents, children's education, homework, report cards, etc., this is clearly sense 1.

The question asks me to return only a JSON object with the sense_index. Since sense 1 is listed first, the sense_index would be 1.

The sentence states that "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home" in the context of discussing parental participation through homework supervision, truancy monitoring, and report card review. The word "involved" here means participating in or being connected through active participation in their children's educational activities. This matches sense 1: "connected by participation or association or use."

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

"Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."

The context is discussing parental involvement in education. The word "involved" here means that parents should participate in their children's education - specifically doing homework supervision, checking report cards, ensuring attendance, etc.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. **sense_key=involved%3:00:00:: | definition=connected by participation or association or use** - This means participating in or connected through participation. The examples "we accomplished nothing, simply because of the large number of people involved" fits well with the context of parents participating in their children's education.

2. **sense_key=involved%5:00:00:encumbered:00 | definition=entangled or hindered as if e.g. in mire** - This is about being hindered or stuck. This doesn't fit the context at all.

3. **sense_key=involved%5:00:00:attached:01 | definition=emotionally involved** - This is about emotional attachment. While parents might be emotionally involved, the sentence is more about active participation in educational activities.

4. **sense_key=involved%5:00:00:complex:00 | definition=highly complex or intricate** - This is about something being complicated. Doesn't fit the context.

5. **sense_key=involved%5:00:00:enclosed:00 | definition=enveloped** - This is about being enclosed or surrounded. Doesn't fit the context.

The best fit is sense 1, which means "connected by participation or association or use." Parents being "involved" with their children's education means they should participate in helping with homework, checking report cards, etc. This is about participation.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}

The context focuses on the parent-child relationship and parental responsibility for their offspring's education, homework, and school attendance. Sense 2 ("a human offspring of any age") best captures this relationship, as the passage emphasizes parents' duty to guide their children's educational development. While sense 1 could apply to young people generally, the explicit focus on the parent-child relationship and parental obligations makes sense 2 the most precise fit.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for "children" in this passage.

The context discusses parental involvement in children's education. The sentence is: "they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should scrutinize the report card."

This is clearly referring to the offspring of parents - people who:
- Go to school (first grade mentioned earlier)
- Do homework
- Have report cards
- Can be prevented from playing truant

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a young person of either sex" - This is a general definition for children as young people. This could apply.

2. "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" - This refers to children as offspring of parents, regardless of age. The context talks about parents' responsibility for their children's education and school attendance, which fits perfectly with this definition.

3. "an immature childish person" - This doesn't fit the context. The passage is not calling someone emotionally immature or childish in behavior.

4. "a member of a clan or tribe" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no reference to tribes or clans.

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 focuses on "young person"
- Sense 2 focuses on "human offspring (son or daughter) of any age"

The context emphasizes the parent-child relationship ("Parents should be involved with their children's education", "they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework"). The use is specifically about offspring of parents who have responsibility for them. This points more toward sense 2 "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" rather than just "a young person."

Sense 2 is the best fit because it emphasizes the relationship as offspring, which is the primary context of the passage - parents' roles in managing their children's education.

The answer should be sense 2.

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

The passage is discussing:
- Educational reforms and their effectiveness
- Parental involvement in education
- The quote specifically states: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school. They should see to it that their kids do not play truant; they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should scrutinize the report card."

The context is talking about what parents should be involved with - their children's education at home. This is referring to the processes and activities of educating and instructing children, or the knowledge/learning itself.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=education%1:04:00:: - "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill" - This fits well. It refers to educational activities.

2. sense_key=education%1:09:00:: - "knowledge acquired by learning and instruction" - This could also fit, referring to the knowledge itself.

3. sense_key=education%1:09:01:: - "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge" - This also fits, referring to the process of learning.

4. sense_key=education%1:04:01:: - "the profession of teaching" - This doesn't fit. The passage isn't talking about teaching as a profession.

5. sense_key=education%1:07:01:: - "the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior)" - This doesn't quite fit. It's too narrowly focused on social behavior.

6. sense_key=education%1:14:00:: - This is about the federal department, clearly not the intended sense.

Now, between senses 1, 2, and 3:
- The context "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home" suggests the process of learning and instruction
- The activities mentioned (homework, report cards, not playing truant) are activities related to education
- Sense 1 emphasizes the concrete actions parents should take, while sense 3 frames education as an ongoing developmental process. Given the passage's focus on specific parental responsibilities like monitoring homework and attendance, sense 1 (activities of educating or instructing) best captures what the text is referring to.

The context uses "at home" to refer to the physical location where parents live and where they should supervise their children's education (homework, not playing truant, reviewing report cards). This is contrasted with "in school." The sense "where you live at a particular time" best captures this usage of home as the residential location.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense of "home" in this passage.

The sentence is: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."

The context is discussing parental involvement in children's education. The phrase "at home" is being contrasted with "in school." It's referring to the place where parents should supervise their children's education - where they live.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=home%1:15:04:: | definition=where you live at a particular time | synonyms=place
   - This is about where someone lives at a particular time. This fits well.

2. sense_key=home%1:06:00:: | definition=housing that someone is living in | synonyms=dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house
   - This is about the physical structure/housing. Could fit.

3. sense_key=home%1:15:02:: | definition=the country or state or city where you live
   - This is about a broader geographic location. Doesn't fit here.

4. sense_key=home%1:06:02:: | definition=(baseball) base consisting of a rubber slab where the batter stands
   - Not relevant - this is a baseball term.

5. sense_key=home%1:15:05:: | definition=the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end
   - Not relevant - military/operational base term.

6. sense_key=home%1:15:03:: | definition=place where something began and flourished
   - Not relevant - talking about origin of something.

7. sense_key=home%1:26:00:: | definition=an environment offering affection and security
   - This could fit - it's talking about the home as a place where education happens with affection/care.

The remaining senses don't align with the passage. Sense 8 (home%1:14:00::) referring to a family unit or household could work, but the most direct interpretation is sense 1 - the physical location where someone resides. This straightforward reading best captures what "at home" means when contrasted with "in school" in the context of parental educational involvement.

Let me analyze the context carefully. The target word is "see" in the sentence:

"They should see to it that their kids do not play truant"

This is a phrasal verb construction: "see to it that" which means "make certain that" or "ensure that".

Looking at the candidate senses:

Sense 10: "be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something" with synonyms "check, insure, see to it, ensure, control, ascertain" and examples "He verified that the valves were closed; See that the curtains are closed"

This is a perfect match. The sense explicitly includes the synonym "see to it" and the definition "be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something" which aligns perfectly with "see to it that their kids do not play truant" (ensure that their kids don't play truant).

This is clearly sense 10.

The context discusses parental involvement in children's education, specifically mentioning that parents should ensure "their kids do not play truant" and monitor homework and report cards. This usage emphasizes the parent-child relationship and the children in an educational context. Sense 4 ("a human offspring") is the best fit, as it captures both the familial relationship indicated by "their kids" and aligns with the example provided ("they were able to send their kids to college"), which matches the educational theme of the passage. Sense 1, while also referring to young people, is less specific to the parent-child relationship that is central to the context.

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

The context is about education and parental involvement. The passage discusses:
- Educational programs and schooling
- Parents' involvement in their children's education
- Parents should ensure their "kids" do not play truant
- Parents should ensure children spend time on homework
- Parents should scrutinize report cards

So "kids" here refers to young people/children in the context of schooling and parental supervision.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=kid%1:18:00:: - "a young person of either sex" - synonyms include child, youngster, minor, etc. Examples: "she writes books for children; they're just kids"

2. sense_key=kid%1:27:00:: - "soft smooth leather from the hide of a young goat" - clearly about material/leather, not applicable here

3. sense_key=kid%1:18:02:: - "English dramatist (1558-1594)" - proper noun/person, not applicable

4. sense_key=kid%1:18:01:: - "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" - refers to children. Examples: "they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college"

5. sense_key=kid%1:05:00:: - "young goat" - clearly not applicable in this educational context

So the choice is between sense 1 and sense 4. Both refer to young people/children:
- Sense 1: "a young person of either sex"
- Sense 4: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age"

The distinction appears to be that sense 1 focuses on the age aspect ("young person"), while sense 4 emphasizes the relationship aspect ("offspring").

In the context, "kids" refers to children in an educational setting being supervised by parents. Both senses would work, but sense 4 ("a human offspring") seems more appropriate because it emphasizes the parent-child relationship, which is central to the passage ("their children's education", "their kids").
The example for sense 4 about sending kids to college directly parallels the educational context here, making it the stronger match.

The phrase "play truant" in the context means to pretend absence from school or to behave as absent without permission. This aligns with sense 8, which defines play as "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind," with the parallel example "She plays deaf when the news are bad." Both involve using "play" to indicate feigned or pretended behavior.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "play" in "they should see to it that their kids do not play truant".

The context is about parental responsibilities in their children's education. The phrase is "kids do not play truant" which means the children don't skip school.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- "play truant" is an idiom that means to stay away from school without permission
- This is not about participating in games/sports
- This is not about playing a musical instrument
- This is not about acting
- This is about using "play" in a phrasal verb/idiomatic way

The key phrase "play truant" means to be absent from school without permission. Let me look for the sense that matches this.

Sense 8 says: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind" with examples "He acted the idiot; She plays deaf when the news are bad"

Sense 16 says: "engage in an activity as if it were a game rather than take it seriously" with examples "They played games on their opponents; play the stock market"

Actually, "play truant" is closest to sense 8 "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind" - because playing truant means pretending you're somewhere else or being absent (though that's not quite right).

Wait, let me reconsider. "Play truant" is an idiom meaning to stay away from school without permission. This could be related to:
- Sense 2: "act or have an effect in a specified way"
- Sense 8: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind"
- Sense 17: "behave in a certain way"

Looking more carefully, "play truant" is similar to "play deaf" in sense 8, where "play" means to pretend or behave as if. So sense 8 seems most appropriate.

Actually, sense 17 "behave in a certain way" with examples "play safe; play it safe" might also work, but it's less about pretending.
Sense 8 fits best since "play truant" parallels "plays deaf"—both involve pretending or adopting a particular demeanor. This is the most fitting sense.

The context discusses parental responsibilities toward their "children," emphasizing the parent-child relationship in an educational setting. Sense 2 ("a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age") best fits because it foregrounds this familial relationship, which is central to the passage's discussion of how parents should be involved with their children's education. The example "they were able to send their kids to college" similarly captures children in an educational context under parental care.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "children" in this passage.

The sentence reads: "they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework"

This is discussing parental responsibilities regarding their children's education at home. The context is about making sure children do homework and checking report cards.

Let me examine the four senses:

1. sense_key=child%1:18:00:: - "a young person of either sex" - Definition focuses on youth/age
   Examples: "she writes books for children; they're just kids"
   This is about young people in general

2. sense_key=child%1:18:01:: - "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" - Definition focuses on being offspring
   Examples: "they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college"
   This emphasizes the parent-child relationship and can refer to offspring of any age

3. sense_key=child%1:18:06:: - "an immature childish person" - Definition focuses on immaturity/childishness
   Examples: "he remained a child in practical matters as long as he lived; stop being a baby!"
   This is about immature behavior

4. sense_key=child%1:18:07:: - "a member of a clan or tribe"
   This is about tribal membership

Given the context about parental involvement in education - parents making sure "the children spend enough time doing homework" - this refers to young people who are the offspring of parents. The context makes clear this is about kids in school who need parental supervision.

Sense 2 ("a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age") fits best because:
- It emphasizes the parent-child relationship
- The example "they were able to send their kids to college" shows children in an educational context
- The passage is about parents and their children's education
- Though sense 1 captures the youth aspect, sense 2 more directly captures the familial bond that's fundamental to the passage's focus on parental oversight.

The context "the children spend enough time doing homework" uses "spend" to mean allocating or passing time in a specific way (by doing homework). This matches sense 1's definition of "pass time in a specific way" with the synonymous example "how are you spending your summer vacation?" Senses 2 and 3 relate to paying out or depleting resources (typically money), which don't fit this temporal context.

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

The sentence is: "they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework"

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=spend%2:42:00:: | definition=pass time in a specific way | synonyms=pass | examples=how are you spending your summer vacation?
   - This is about "passing" time in a particular way
   - Synonym: pass
   - Example: "how are you spending your summer vacation?"

2. sense_key=spend%2:40:00:: | definition=pay out | synonyms=expend, drop | examples=spend money
   - This is about paying out money
   - Synonyms: expend, drop
   - Example: "spend money"

3. sense_key=spend%2:40:01:: | definition=spend completely | examples=I spend my pocket money in two days
   - This is about using up or depleting resources completely
   - Example: "I spend my pocket money in two days"

In the context: "they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework"

The word "spend" is used with "time" as the object. The question is whether they mean:
- Allocating/passing time in a specific way (doing homework)
- Paying out time
- Using up time completely

The phrase "spend enough time doing homework" means to allocate or pass sufficient time on the activity of doing homework. This is not about money, but about time.

Sense 1 is about "passing time in a specific way" with the example "how are you spending your summer vacation?" This directly parallels our sentence. You can "spend time" by doing homework, just like you can "spend your summer vacation" by doing particular activities.
Senses 2 and 3 both involve monetary or resource depletion, which doesn't apply when discussing time allocation. The correct sense is clearly the first one—passing time in a particular manner.

The context describes parents ensuring children "spend enough time doing homework," which refers to time as a quantifiable resource that can be allocated or controlled to accomplish a task (homework completion). This matches sense 2's definition of "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something," with similar examples like "take time to smell the roses."

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

"They should see to it that the children spend enough time doing homework"

The sentence is about parents ensuring their children spend a sufficient amount of time on homework. Let me go through each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=time%1:11:00:: - "an instance or single occasion for some event" - This would mean "this particular occasion" but that doesn't fit here.

2. sense_key=time%1:28:05:: - "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - This seems to fit well. The context is about how much time (as a resource) children should dedicate to homework.

3. sense_key=time%1:28:00:: - "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - This is more general and less specific than sense 2.

4. sense_key=time%1:28:06:: - "a suitable moment" - This doesn't fit the context.

5. sense_key=time%1:03:00:: - "the continuum of experience" - This is too abstract/philosophical.

6. sense_key=time%1:11:01:: - "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - Doesn't fit.

7. sense_key=time%1:28:03:: - "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - This is about specific time of day, not relevant here.

8. sense_key=time%1:28:04:: - "the fourth coordinate" - Too physical/technical.

9. sense_key=time%1:07:01:: - "rhythm as given by division into parts" - Not relevant.

10. sense_key=time%1:28:01:: - "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - Not relevant.

The best fit is sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something." The example given is "take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish" which aligns well with "spend enough time doing homework."
So the answer is index 2.

The context describes parents examining a report card, which involves looking at it critically and in detail to assess their child's academic performance. This aligns with sense 1: "to look at critically or searchingly, or in minute detail." While sense 2 emphasizes verification with attention to accuracy, the sentence context is more about careful examination and review of the report card itself rather than verifying its accuracy.

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

The sentence is: "they should scrutinize the report card."

The two candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=scrutinize%2:39:00:: | definition=to look at critically or searchingly, or in minute detail | synonyms=size up, take stock, scrutinise | examples=he scrutinized his likeness in the mirror

2. sense_key=scrutinize%2:31:00:: | definition=examine carefully for accuracy with the intent of verification | synonyms=audit, scrutinise, inspect | examples=audit accounts and tax returns

In the context, parents "should scrutinize the report card." This is about examining the report card carefully to assess their child's academic performance. The parent is looking at it to understand the child's grades and performance, but also potentially to verify whether the school is doing its job properly.

Sense 1 is about looking at something critically or searchingly, in minute detail. This could fit.

Sense 2 is about examining carefully for accuracy with the intent of verification. This emphasizes verification and checking accuracy.

When a parent scrutinizes a report card, they are:
- Looking at it carefully to see the grades and performance
- Checking to verify their child's academic standing
- Examining it for accuracy

The context doesn't explicitly mention verification or checking for accuracy as the main purpose. It seems more about carefully examining/reviewing the report card to see how the child is doing. This seems more aligned with sense 1 - looking at critically or searchingly.

However, sense 2's focus on verification could also apply - parents would want to verify the report card is accurate.

Actually, looking more carefully at the context: parents examining a report card typically involves reviewing it carefully to assess performance, which is more about careful examination than verification of accuracy. Sense 1 seems more appropriate.
Sense 1 is the better fit here.

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

In the passage, the text is discussing education, parental involvement, and what parents should do regarding their children's education. The relevant sentence is: "If <t>parents</t> are dissatisfied with a school, they should have the option of switching to another."

The context makes it clear that:
1. Parents are involved in their children's education
2. They monitor homework, check report cards
3. They have the option to switch schools for their children
4. The passage discusses "Parental involvement" in education

This is clearly referring to human mothers and fathers - people who are raising and nurturing children.

Sense 1: "a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian"
- This fits perfectly with the context

Sense 2: "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained"
- This is a biological sense, referring to any organism that produces offspring
- This would not be appropriate in the educational context about parents monitoring homework and report cards

The answer is clearly sense 1.

The word "option" in this context means "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen" (an alternative or choice among available possibilities). The sentence indicates that parents dissatisfied with a school should have available to them the alternative of switching to another school. This is clearly about having a choice available, not about a financial transaction (sense 1) or the act of choosing itself (sense 3).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "option" in this passage.

The sentence is: "If parents are dissatisfied with a school, they should have the <t>option</t> of switching to another."

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=option%1:21:00:: - "the right to buy or sell property at an agreed price..." This is a financial/legal term specifically about buying or selling property at a set price. This doesn't fit the context at all.

2. sense_key=option%1:09:00:: - "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen" with synonyms "alternative, choice" and examples like "what option did I have?; there no other alternative". This means an available choice or alternative among multiple possibilities. In the context, "have the option of switching to another" means having the choice/alternative of switching to another school.

3. sense_key=option%1:04:00:: - "the act of choosing or selecting" with synonyms "choice, selection, pick". This refers to the act/process of choosing rather than the available choice itself.

In the context "they should have the option of switching to another," the word "option" refers to having a choice/alternative available to them. It's not about the act of choosing (sense 3), but rather about what choices are available to them (sense 2).

Sense 2 is clearly the best fit because it describes one of the available alternatives or choices. The parents should have the ability to choose between different schools - they should have available to them the alternative of switching.

The answer is sense 2.

The context describes parents switching from one school to another school when dissatisfied. Sense 3 ("lay aside, abandon, or leave for another") fits best, as evidenced by its example "She switched psychiatrists," which parallels the action of switching schools—moving from one service provider to another similar one.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "switching" in the context: "If parents are dissatisfied with a school, they should have the option of switching to another."

Let me analyze the context:
- Parents are dissatisfied with a school
- They should have the option of switching to another (school)
- This means they want to change from one school to a different school

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=switch%2:30:03:: | definition=change over, change around, as to a new order or sequence | synonyms=switch over, exchange
   - This is about changing over or changing the order/sequence

2. sense_key=switch%2:40:00:: | definition=exchange or give (something) in exchange for | synonyms=trade, swap, swop
   - This is about trading or swapping

3. sense_key=switch%2:30:02:: | definition=lay aside, abandon, or leave for another | synonyms=shift, change | examples=switch to a different brand of beer; She switched psychiatrists
   - This is about abandoning one thing and choosing another. The examples are very relevant: "switch to a different brand of beer" and "She switched psychiatrists" - both are about moving from one to another. This fits perfectly with "switching to another school"

4. sense_key=switch%2:30:01:: | definition=make a shift in or exchange of | synonyms=change over, shift | examples=First Joe led; then we switched
   - This seems more about shifting positions or roles

5. sense_key=switch%2:35:00:: | definition=cause to go on or to be engaged or set in operation | synonyms=throw, flip | examples=switch on the light; throw the lever
   - This is about turning something on

6. sense_key=switch%2:35:03:: | definition=flog with or as if with a flexible rod
   - This is about hitting with a rod, not relevant

7. sense_key=switch%2:30:00:: | definition=reverse (a direction, attitude, or course of action) | synonyms=interchange, tack, alternate, flip, flip-flop
   - This involves reversing direction or changing course. Sense 3 remains the strongest match since it specifically captures the idea of leaving one institution for another, as shown in the psychiatrist example—parents moving from their current school to a different one aligns with this definition of abandoning one choice in favor of an alternative.

The context discusses "Community involvement" in schools, contrasting it with parental involvement. In this educational policy context, "community" refers to the broader group of people living in the local area served by the school—the residents and stakeholders of a particular locality. This is the standard usage in education discourse when discussing community participation in schools.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "Community" in this passage.

The text discusses education reforms and mentions "Community involvement" in schools. The author contrasts "Parental involvement" with "Community involvement," suggesting that community involvement refers to broader stakeholder participation in schools - likely involving people from the local area who are invested in school affairs.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a group of people living in a particular local area" - This refers to the general population of an area
2. "common ownership" - Not relevant here
3. "a group of nations having common interests" - Not relevant here
4. "agreement as to goals" - synonyms: community of interests - This could fit if we interpret "community involvement" as shared interests in education
5. "a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences" - This is about geography, not involvement
6. "(ecology) a group of interdependent organisms" - Not relevant here

In the context of "Community involvement" in schools, the author is referring to broader involvement beyond just parents - likely stakeholders from the local area or people with shared interests in education.

Sense 1 (a group of people living in a particular local area) seems most appropriate because "community involvement" typically means involvement from the local community - the people living in that area who are affected by the schools. This is the standard usage when discussing community engagement in schools.

Sense 4 is about "agreement as to goals" which could work but is less specific and more about shared interests abstractly.

The best answer is sense 1.

The target word "even" is used in "even worse idea" to indicate a greater degree or extent when making a comparison. This directly parallels the example "looked sick and felt even worse" provided in sense 3. The word modifies the comparative adjective "worse" to show that community involvement is being depicted as worse than parental involvement.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "even" is used:

"Community involvement is an even worse idea."

This is comparing community involvement as being worse than parental involvement (which was already described as "a bad idea").

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=even%4:02:00::** | definition=used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected | examples=even an idiot knows that; declined even to consider the idea
   - This would use "even" to emphasize something surprising, like "Community involvement is an even worse idea" meaning it's surprisingly bad. This doesn't quite fit.

2. **sense_key=even%4:02:03::** | definition=in spite of; notwithstanding | examples=even when he is sick, he works; even with his head start she caught up with him
   - This is about concession/contrast. It doesn't fit the context.

3. **sense_key=even%4:02:01::** | definition=to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | synonyms=yet, still | examples=looked sick and felt even worse; an even (or still) more interesting problem
   - This fits perfectly! "even worse" is directly used as an example. The sentence is comparing the badness of community involvement to parental involvement, indicating a greater degree or extent. The word "worse" being modified by "even" shows we're talking about a greater degree of badness.

4. **sense_key=even%4:02:04::** | definition=to the full extent | examples=loyal even unto death
   - This is about complete extent, which doesn't fit here.

The answer is clearly sense 3, which matches the example "looked sick and felt even worse" almost exactly with our context "Community involvement is an even worse idea."
