Why ca not we teach our children to read, write and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do. It's that we do not want to.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "These beliefs so dominate our educational <t>establishment</t>, our media, our politicians, and even our parents..."

We need to choose the best sense from the list. The context says "educational establishment" - this refers to the institution or organization that is the education system. It is not the act of forming something (sense1), not a specific institution (sense2) but more like the body that administers education. Sense3: definition: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something" - synonym: administration, governance, governing body. That fits: educational establishment refers to the governing body or administration of education. Sense2 is "an organization founded and united for a specific purpose" - that could also fit, but sense3 is more specific to the body that administers. Also, the context says "dominate our educational establishment" - it's about the people/institutions that run education, not just any organization. Sense3 examples: "he claims that the present administration is corrupt" - similar. So sense3 is best.

Other senses: sense4 is a structure (buildings), not relevant. sense5 any large organization - too broad. So sense3 is most appropriate.

We are given the target lemma "politician" with surface form "politicians". The context is: "These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our <t>politicians</t>, and even our parents that it seems almost blasphemous to challenge them."

We have three candidate senses:
1. sense_key=politician%1:18:01:: | definition=a leader engaged in civil administration
2. sense_key=politician%1:18:00:: | definition=a person active in party politics | synonyms=politico, pol, political leader
3. sense_key=politician%1:18:02:: | definition=a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways

The context is about challenging cherished beliefs and vested interests. The word "politicians" is listed alongside "educational establishment", "media", and "parents". It suggests that politicians are part of the group that holds these beliefs and has vested interests. The tone is critical, implying that these beliefs dominate and are hard to challenge. The third sense has a negative connotation: "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways". That might fit because the text implies that we are reluctant to relinquish beliefs due to vested interests. However, the context does not explicitly say they are scheming; it says they are dominated by beliefs. But the phrase "vested interests" aligns with the idea of gaining advantage. Also, the first sense "a leader engaged in civil administration" is more neutral and positive, but the context is critical. The second sense "a person active in party politics" is broad. The synonyms for sense 2 are "politico, pol, political leader". That seems generic. The third sense is specifically "a schemer". In the context, it says "cherished vested interests" and "these beliefs so dominate... our politicians". The word "dominate" might imply they are in positions of power and have self-interest. The third sense emphasizes "sly or underhanded ways", which might be a bit strong, but the context is about challenging beliefs that are "cherished" and "blasphemous" to challenge, suggesting that these beliefs are held for reasons that might not be entirely pure. The sentence: "These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and even our parents that it seems almost blasphemous to challenge them." The author is suggesting that these beliefs are entrenched and have powerful supporters. The term "politicians" here is likely used in a general sense as people involved in politics, but the negative connotation of "schemer" might be too specific. However, note that the third sense is defined as "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways". That could be interpreted as a specific type of politician, but the context does not explicitly describe them as scheming; rather, it says they are dominated by beliefs. The first two senses are more neutral. Given the critical tone, the third sense might be intended to highlight the negative aspect. But we need to choose the best single sense based on the context.

Let's look at the examples and synonyms. For sense 1: "a leader engaged in civil administration" - this is like a statesman. For sense 2: "a person active in party politics" - this is broad, including anyone involved in politics. For sense 3: "a schemer" - this is pejorative. The context is from a speech or essay that is critical of the educational system and politicians. The phrase "cherished vested interests" suggests that politicians have a stake in maintaining the status quo. That aligns with the idea of self-interest, but not necessarily "sly or underhanded". However, the text says "violate some cherished vested interests" - meaning to change them would violate those interests. So politicians are part of the group that has these vested interests. That might fit the third sense if we interpret "tries to gain advantage" as protecting their own interests. But the third sense specifically says "in an organization" and "sly or underhanded ways". It's not clear if the context implies underhandedness. The text does not say they are scheming; it says they are dominated by beliefs. The beliefs themselves are "cherished metaphysical beliefs". So it's more about ideology than self-interest. Actually, it says "as well as to violate some cherished vested interests." So there are both beliefs and vested interests. The politicians are among those who hold these beliefs and have these interests. So they are part of the establishment. The word "politicians" here is likely used in the general sense of people who are in political office. Sense 2 ("a person active in party politics") seems most appropriate because it's broad and includes the idea of being a political leader. Sense 1 is "a leader engaged in civil administration" which might be too narrow (like a bureaucrat). Sense 3 is too negative and specific. Typically, in such contexts, "politicians" refers to elected officials or people involved in politics. The third sense is a specialized meaning for a schemer, which is a minority sense. I think the best sense is sense 2.

But let's double-check: The instruction says "choose the single best indexed sense". We are not to answer with a sense key, but with a JSON object with "sense_index". So we need to output the index number (1, 2, or 3). Based on analysis, I think sense 2 is most appropriate. However, the context is critical and might imply that politicians are protecting their vested interests, which could be seen as scheming. But the word "schemer" is a specific connotation. The definition for sense 2 includes "political leader" which is a synonym, and that fits the context of being part of the establishment. I'll go with sense 2.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 2}.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 3. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to re-evaluate the context. The sentence: "These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and even our parents..." The politicians are part of a list of groups that hold certain metaphysical beliefs. The context is about education and vested interests. The sense "a person active in party politics" (sense 2) seems most fitting, as it refers to politicians as political leaders/figures involved in party politics. Sense 1 is "a leader engaged in civil administration," which is more about administrative leaders, not necessarily party politics. Sense 3 is negative ("schemer") which doesn't fit the neutral listing. So sense 2 is best.

reasoning_content: We are given a context where "even" is used: "our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and <t>even</t> our parents". The phrase "and even our parents" suggests that parents are included as an unexpected or additional group beyond the others. This aligns with sense 1: "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected". The examples include "even an idiot knows that" which shows unexpectedness. Sense 2 is "in spite of; notwithstanding", which doesn't fit because it's not about contrast. Sense 3 is comparative ("to a greater degree") and sense 4 is "to the full extent". The context is listing groups, and adding "even" to parents suggests that it's surprising that parents are included in those who hold these beliefs. So sense 1 is appropriate. The sense_index for sense 1 is 1.

Sense 2 is about organisms, plants or animals from which younger ones are obtained, which is biological but not the typical human parent in this context. So sense 1 is correct.

The context is about beliefs dominating, and it gives an impression that challenging them is blasphemous. This is about giving a certain impression or outward aspect. Sense 1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" with synonyms look, appear. The example "She seems to be sleeping" matches the structure "it seems almost blasphemous" - it's an impression. Sense 2 is about seeming to be true or probable, but here it's more about the appearance of blasphemy. Sense 3 is "appear to exist" - not fitting. Sense 4 is about one's own mind or opinion - "I seem to be misunderstood" - but here it's a general impression, not personal opinion. So sense 1 is best.

We are given the target lemma "blasphemous" in a context. The context discusses that challenging certain metaphysical beliefs seems "almost blasphemous". The sentence says: "it seems almost <t>blasphemous</t> to challenge them." Here, "them" refers to cherished metaphysical beliefs and vested interests. The tone is about questioning sacred or deeply held beliefs.

Candidate sense 1: "grossly irreverent toward what is held to be sacred" with synonyms profane, sacrilegious. This matches the idea of challenging sacred beliefs.

Candidate sense 2: "characterized by profanity or cursing" with synonyms blue, profane. This is more about using foul language. The context does not involve cursing or profanity; it's about challenging beliefs. So sense 2 is less appropriate.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best. The output should be {"sense_index": 1}.

The author says that these beliefs dominate so much that challenging them seems blasphemous. The word "challenge" here means to dispute or question the validity of those beliefs. Sense 1 is "take exception to" with synonyms dispute, gainsay, and example "She challenged his claims." That fits: challenging the beliefs means disputing them. Sense 2 is "issue a challenge to" like a competition. No. Sense 3 is "ask for identification" like border guard. No. Sense 4 is "raise a formal objection in a court of law." Not applicable. So best is sense 1. However, note that the sense indices in the list are 1,2,3,4. So answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "ask" in the context: "If I were to ask a sample of American parents, 'Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children?'"

The target is "ask" meaning to pose a question. Let's examine the senses:

1. sense 1: inquire about (general inquiry)
2. sense 2: make a request or demand for something
3. sense 3: direct or put; seek an answer to (ask a question)
4. sense 4: consider obligatory; request and expect (require)
5. sense 5: address a question to and expect an answer from
6. sense 6: require as useful, just, or proper
7. sense 7: require or ask for as a price

The context: "If I were to ask a sample of American parents, 'Do you wish...'" This is directly addressing a question to them and expecting an answer. Sense 5 is specifically "address a question to and expect an answer from" with examples like "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" which fits. Sense 1 is "inquire about" which is more general, but the specific phrasing "ask a sample of American parents" implies addressing them directly. Sense 3 is about asking a question, but it's "direct or put; seek an answer to" like "ask a question" - that could be a possibility but sense 5 is more precise because it involves addressing someone. The example for sense 5: "The children asked me about their dead grandmother" is similar. So sense 5 is best.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 5}

reasoning_content: We are given a target word "sample" in the context: "If I were to ask a <t>sample</t> of American parents". The context is about asking a group of parents as a representative subset. The definition for sense 1 is "a small part of something intended as representative of the whole". That fits here: a sample of American parents means a small group representing the whole population of American parents. Sense 2 is more about statistical sampling and testing hypotheses, which is not the primary focus here; it's just asking a group. Sense 3 is about natural objects collected as examples, which is not applicable. Therefore, sense 1 is the best.

The context clearly refers to the United States: "American parents", "the elementary schools", and the discussion about education in the US. The second sense is about the continents (North and South America) which is broader. So sense 1 is appropriate. The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

Sense 1 is "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." Sense 2 is about organisms from which younger ones are obtained. The context is clearly about human parents, so sense 1 is correct. Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

Sense 1: "contribute to the progress or growth of" with synonyms promote, advance, boost, further. That fits perfectly: encouraging creativity means promoting its development. Sense 2: "inspire with confidence" is more about giving courage, not directly about creativity. Sense 3: "spur on" is about motivating someone to do something, but here it's about the abstract quality of creativity. The example for sense 3 is about financial success encouraging someone to look for a wife, which is different. So sense 1 is best.

The sense should be "a young person of either sex" (sense 1) because it refers to young children attending elementary school. Sense 2 is "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" but the context specifies elementary schools, so they are young. Sense 3 is "an immature childish person" which is derogatory and not appropriate. Sense 4 is "a member of a clan or tribe" not relevant. So sense 1 is best.

The context is: "If I were to ask a sample of American parents, 'Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children?' the near-unanimous answer would be, 'Yes, of course.'" Here, "answer" refers to the spoken or written reply to a question. It is a statement made in response to a question. The candidates include sense 1: "a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation" with synonyms reply, response. Sense 2 is about a solution, sense 3 is the speech act of replying, sense 4 is a legal pleading, sense 5 is a nonverbal reaction. Clearly, the context is about a verbal reply to a question. Sense 1 and sense 3 are both about replying to a question. Sense 1 defines it as a statement (the content), while sense 3 defines it as the speech act. The examples for sense 1 include "I waited several days for his answer" which is similar. In the context, "the near-unanimous answer would be, 'Yes, of course.'" The word "answer" here refers to the statement itself (the content). It is a noun. Sense 1 fits perfectly. Sense 3 is a bit more abstract (the speech act). Typically, when saying "the answer was X", it refers to the statement. So sense 1 is best. The sense index for sense 1 is 1. So the JSON should be {"sense_index": 1

reasoning_content:
We are given the target surface form "equated" in context: "In practice, it ends up being equated with a 'self-expression' that encourages the youngsters' 'self-esteem.'"

We need to choose among three senses:

Sense 1: consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous (synonyms: compare, liken). Example: "You cannot equate success in financial matters with greed."

Sense 2: be equivalent or parallel, in mathematics (synonyms: correspond). This seems technical and mathematical.

Sense 3: make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching (synonyms: equal, match, equalize, equalise). Example: "let's equalize the duties among all employees in this office."

In the context, "it ends up being equated with a 'self-expression'..." The word "it" refers to "creativity". So creativity is being considered or described as similar to self-expression. This matches sense 1: "consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous". The example for sense 1 also fits: "You cannot equate success in financial matters with greed" is analogous to equating creativity with self-expression. Sense 3 might also be plausible, but sense 3 focuses on making things equal or matching, which implies an action of making equal, whereas here it's more about the act of considering them as similar. The context says "it ends up being equated with", which is passive and implies that people treat them as equivalent, not that they make them equal. Additionally, the synonym "compare" and "liken" are apt. Therefore, sense 1 is the best.

We must return a JSON object with "sense_index": 1.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "encourages" in the context: "a 'self-expression' that encourages the youngsters' 'self-esteem.'" The context is about fostering self-esteem through self-expression. Sense 1 is about contributing to progress or growth, synonyms promote, advance, boost, further. Sense 2 is inspire with confidence, give hope or courage. Sense 3 is spur on. The phrase "encourages the youngsters' self-esteem" means it boosts or promotes self-esteem. That aligns with sense 1 (promote, advance) more than directly inspiring confidence (sense 2) or spurring on (sense 3). Sense 2 is about giving courage, but here it's about self-esteem, which is more like promoting growth. Also note: "encourages" in this context is not directly giving hope or courage to the youngsters, but rather the self-expression acts to promote their self-esteem. So sense 1 is best.

Target lemma: result

Context:
Here is an example. If I were to ask a sample of American parents, "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children? "the near-unanimous answer would be, "Yes, of course. "But what do we mean, specifically, by "creativity "? No one can say. In practice, it ends up being equated with a "self-expression "that encourages the youngsters' "self-esteem. "The <t>result</t> is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves. The whole notion of "creativity "in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as "authoritarian, "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=result%1:19:00:: | definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise; his decision had depressing consequences for business

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "result" in the context: "The result is a generation of young people ..." This is clearly a phenomenon that follows from the previous situation. Sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" fits perfectly. Sense 3: "something that results" is broader and also fits, but sense 1 is more specific and matches the cause-effect relationship. The context shows a causal chain: the practice leads to a generation with ignorance and high self-esteem. So sense 1 is best. Sense 2 is about a solution, not relevant. Sense 4 is about semantic role, not relevant. Thus sense index 1.

The other senses are about biological descent, time between generations, technological stages, coming into being, production of heat/electricity, or reproduction. None of those fit. So the best sense is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "only" in the context: "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves."

We need to choose the best sense from the provided candidate senses.

Let's examine each sense:

1. sense_key=only%4:02:02:: | definition=and nothing more | synonyms=merely, simply, just, but | examples=I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time. This sense suggests "only" as meaning "just" or "merely". In the context, "matched only by" could be interpreted as "matched merely by" or "matched simply by". This is plausible.

2. sense_key=only%4:02:01:: | definition=without any others being included or involved | synonyms=entirely, exclusively, solely, alone | examples=was entirely to blame; a school devoted entirely to the needs of problem children. This sense suggests exclusivity. "matched only by" could mean "matched exclusively by" or "matched solely by". This is also plausible.

3. sense_key=only%4:02:00:: | definition=with nevertheless the final result | examples=He arrived only to find his wife dead; We won only to lose again in the next round. This sense implies a subsequent result that is contrary or unexpected. In the context, it's not about a result; it's about a comparison. So this doesn't fit.

4. sense_key=only%4:02:04:: | definition=in the final outcome | examples=These news will only make you more upset. This sense implies a final outcome or consequence. Again, the context is about matching, not an outcome. Not fitting.

5. sense_key=only%4:02:06:: | definition=except that | examples=It was the same story; only this time she came out better. This sense is like "but" or "except". In the context, it's not contrasting two clauses; it's a comparison. So unlikely.

6. sense_key=only%4:02:03:: | definition=never except when | synonyms=only if, only when | examples=call me only if your cold gets worse. This is conditional. Not fitting.

7. sense_key=only%4:02:05:: | definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago. This is temporal. Not fitting.

So the best candidates are senses 1 and 2. Which one is more precise? The phrase "matched only by" typically means that the only thing that matches it is something else. This is about exclusivity: nothing else matches it except that. That aligns with sense 2: "without any others being included or involved". Sense 1 ("and nothing more") is more about "merely" or "just", which is also close but often used to indicate that something is not more than that. For "matched only by", it's about being the sole match. For example, "His ignorance is matched only by his arrogance" means the only thing that equals his ignorance is his arrogance. That is a sense of exclusivity. So sense 2 seems better.

Also, note the synonyms for sense 2: entirely, exclusively, solely, alone. These fit well. Sense 1 synonyms: merely, simply, just, but. "Merely" might imply a downplaying, but here it's not about downplaying; it's about stating the one thing that matches. So I think sense 2 is correct.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for the word "good" in the given context. The target phrase is: "matched only by their <t>good</t> opinion of themselves." The context describes a generation of young people with ignorance and intellectual incompetence, matched by their "good opinion of themselves." Here, "good opinion" likely means a high or favorable opinion, but with a negative connotation because it is unwarranted. The adjective "good" here modifies "opinion," meaning they have a favorable self-opinion.

Which sense fits? Let's examine candidate senses:

1. "having desirable or positive qualities" - This could fit, as a good opinion is a positive/desirable opinion. But the context is sarcastic: their ignorance is matched by their good opinion, implying the opinion is overblown. Still, sense 1 is general.

2. "having the normally expected amount" - Not relevant (full measure).

3. "morally admirable" - Not directly about self-opinion, but could be about being morally good? The opinion is not about morality but about themselves.

4. "deserving of esteem and respect" - This is about being reputable. "Good opinion" could be an opinion of esteem, but the phrase "good opinion of themselves" means they have a high opinion of themselves. The sense "deserving of esteem" might apply to the person, but here it's the opinion.

5. "promoting or enhancing well-being" - beneficial? Not quite.

6. "agreeable or pleasing" - A good opinion could be agreeable to oneself, but not the intended meaning.

7. "of moral excellence" - similar to sense 3.

8. "having or showing knowledge and skill" - not relevant.

9. "thorough" - as in a good cleaning? No.

10. "with or in a close or intimate relationship" - not relevant.

11. "financially sound" - no.

12. "most suitable or right for a particular purpose" - no.

13. "resulting favorably" - as in "it's a good thing" - not here.

14. "exerting force or influence" - no.

15. "capable of pleasing" - good looks? No.

16. "appealing to the mind" - good music? No.

17. "in excellent physical condition" - no.

18. "tending to promote physical well-being" - no.

19. "not forged" - no.

20. "not left to spoil" - no.

21. "generally admired" - good taste? This might be close: "generally admired" could apply to opinion? But "good opinion" is often used as "high opinion." Sense 21 is about "good taste" meaning admired taste. Not directly.

The most relevant appears to be sense 1: "having desirable or positive qualities." A "good opinion" is a positive opinion about oneself. The context implies it is unwarranted, but the word itself is used in a positive sense. Also sense 4 "deserving of esteem" might be a candidate, but "good opinion" is a set phrase.

I think sense 1 is the best fit. The example given is "good news from the hospital" - it's about positive qualities. Similarly, "good opinion" is an opinion that is positive.

Thus, I choose sense index 1.
