Which numbered sense of "mind" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not <t>mind</t> spreading, for their own narrow purposes.

Senses:
1. definition=be offended or bothered by; take offense with, be bothered by | examples=I don't mind your behavior
2. definition=be concerned with or about something or somebody
3. definition=be in charge of or deal with | examples=She takes care of all the necessary arrangements
4. definition=pay close attention to; give heed to | examples=Heed the advice of the old men
5. definition=be on one's guard; be cautious or wary about; be alert to | examples=Beware of telephone salesmen
6. definition=keep in mind

[Assistant] We need to parse the sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not <t>mind</t> spreading, for their own narrow purposes." The word "mind" here is used in the sense of "be offended or bothered by" or "take offense with". The context: the teachers' unions do not mind spreading that kind of libel. That means they are not bothered by it, they are okay with it. So sense 1 fits. The other senses: concern about, be in charge of, pay attention, be cautious, keep in mind - none of those fit. So answer is 1.1

The user said: "Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 6. Return only the integer." That suggests that my previous response (which was 1) was considered invalid? Possibly because I gave a reasoning? The instruction says "Return only the number." I did return 1, but maybe the user wants just the integer without any extra text. However, the user says "Your previous answer was invalid." That might be a feedback that I need to output only the number, no extra words. But also, the system might have a constraint. Let me just output "1" without any explanation. But careful: The user said "Return only the number of the correct sense." So I should just output 1. But the previous response had "1" at the end? Actually I wrote "So answer is 1." That included text. Then the user said "Your previous answer was invalid." So I'll now just output the integer 1. But to be safe, I'll output only the number.1

Which numbered sense of "spread" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind <t>spreading</t>, for their own narrow purposes.

Senses:
1. definition=distribute or disperse widely | examples=The invaders spread their language all over the country
2. definition=become distributed or widespread | examples=the infection spread

raw_output:
We are given a sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind <t>spreading</t>, for their own narrow purposes." And we need to choose the correct sense number from the given list. The word "spreading" here is used in the context of "spreading libel". Libel is a false and damaging statement. The teachers' unions are spreading this kind of libel. So it's about disseminating information or a statement. Sense 5: "cause to become widely known" with example "spread information". That fits. Also sense 6: "become widely known and passed on" is intransitive, but here it's transitive: "do not mind spreading" so they are actively spreading it. Sense 5 is transitive: "cause to become widely known". Sense 1: "distribute or disperse widely" also could fit, but its example is "spread their language" which is similar. However, sense 5 is more specific to information. Let's examine all: 1: distribute or disperse widely - could apply to language, but also to libel? Possibly. 2: become distributed or widespread - intransitive, e.g., "the infection spread" - not fitting because it's "spreading" as verb with object? Actually "do not mind spreading" is followed by "libel" as object? The sentence: "the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading" - so "spreading" is transitive, they spread libel. So sense 2 is intransitive. 3: spread across or over - e.g., "oil spot spread" - intransitive. 4: spread out or open from closed - e.g., "open the map" - transitive but different. 5: cause to become widely known - transitive, example "spread information". 6: become widely known - intransitive. 7: strew or distribute over an area - e.g., "spread fertilizer" - transitive, but more physical. 8: move outward - e.g., "soldiers fanned out" - intransitive. 9: cover by spreading something over - e.g., "spread bread with cheese" - transitive, but different. 10: distribute over a surface in a layer - e.g., "spread cheese" - transitive, but physical.

The context is "libel", which is a false statement, so it's about information. Sense 5 specifically says "cause to become widely known". That seems most appropriate. Sense 1 also says "distribute or disperse widely" and could apply to information. But sense 5 is more specific to "spread information". The example for sense 1 is "spread their language", which is also a kind of distribution. However, sense 5's example is "spread information". Since the sentence is about libel (information), sense 5 is directly relevant. Also note that sense 6 is "become widely known" (intransitive) so not correct. So I think sense 5 is correct.

But let's double-check: The sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading" - they are actively spreading it. So "spreading" is used as a transitive verb with object "libel". So sense 5 or 1? Both are transitive. Sense 1: "distribute or disperse widely" - that could apply to anything, like physical objects. But libel is not a physical object; it's a statement. Sense 5 is specifically about causing something to become widely known, which is exactly what spreading libel does. So I'll go with 5.

Thus, answer is 5.5

Which numbered sense of "narrow" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading, for their own <t>narrow</t> purposes.

Senses:
1. definition=not wide | examples=a narrow bridge
2. definition=limited in size or scope | examples=the narrow sense of a word
3. definition=lacking tolerance or flexibility or breadth of view | examples=a brilliant but narrow-minded judge
4. definition=very limited in degree | examples=won by a narrow margin
5. definition=characterized by painstaking care and detailed examination | examples=a minute inspection of the grounds

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "narrow" is used in the sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading, for their own narrow purposes." The phrase "narrow purposes" suggests purposes that are limited in scope or self-interested, possibly lacking breadth. Sense 2 is "limited in size or scope", sense 3 is "lacking tolerance or flexibility or breadth of view". The phrase "their own narrow purposes" implies that the purposes are limited and self-serving, perhaps indicating a lack of broader consideration. Sense 3 might be more about a person's attitude, but "purposes" are not a person; however, "narrow" can describe purposes as being limited or selfish. Sense 2 is more neutral: limited in scope. But context: "the teachers' unions do not mind spreading libel for their own narrow purposes" suggests they are acting for limited, self-interested goals, which aligns with sense 2 (limited in scope) or sense 3 (lacking breadth of view). However, sense 3 is typically about a person's mindset, not about purposes. Usually "narrow purposes" means purposes that are restricted in scope or selfish. The example for sense 2 is "the narrow sense of a word", which is about a limited scope. So I think sense 2 fits best. Let's double-check: sense 4 is "very limited in degree" (narrow margin), not applicable. Sense 5 is about careful examination. Sense 1 is physical width. So answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "purpose" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading, for their own narrow <t>purposes</t>.

2. definition=what something is used for | examples=the function of an auger is to bore holes
3. definition=the quality of being determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose | examples=his determination showed in his every movement

reasoning_content: We need to identify the sense of "purpose" in the given sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading, for their own narrow <t>purposes</t>." The phrase "their own narrow purposes" refers to the aims or objectives they have. That matches sense 1: an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions. Sense 2 is about function/use, sense 3 is about determination. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "politician" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is also the kind of libel <t>politicians</t> find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=a leader engaged in civil administration
2. definition=a person active in party politics
3. definition=a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "politician" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency." The context suggests that politicians are people who are involved in politics, and they use libel to gain advantage or appear friendly to a constituency. This aligns with sense 2: "a person active in party politics" because it refers to elected officials or those involved in political activities. Sense 1 is about civil administration, which is broader; sense 3 has a negative connotation of scheming. The sentence doesn't imply scheming or underhandedness specifically, just that they find it useful. So sense 2 is most appropriate.

Which numbered sense of "find" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is also the kind of libel politicians <t>find</t> useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with | examples=We find this idea in Plato
2. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
3. definition=come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost | examples=Did you find your glasses?
4. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | examples=find the product of two numbers
5. definition=come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds | examples=I feel that he doesn't like me
6. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices
7. definition=get something or somebody for a specific purpose | examples=I found this gadget that will serve as a bottle opener
8. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding | examples=Roentgen discovered X-rays
9. definition=make a discovery | examples=She found that he had lied to her
10. definition=obtain through effort or management | examples=She found the time and energy to take care of her aging parents
11. definition=decide on and make a declaration about | examples=find someone guilty
12. definition=receive a specified treatment (abstract) | examples=These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation
13. definition=perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place | examples=I found myself in a difficult situation
14. definition=get or find back; recover the use of | examples=She regained control of herself
15. definition=succeed in reaching; arrive at | examples=The arrow found its mark
16. definition=accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation | examples=My son went to Berkeley to find himself

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "find" is used in the sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency."

The phrase "find useful" means they consider it useful or perceive it as useful. This aligns with sense 5: "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" with example "I feel that he doesn't like me". But also sense 6: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" might fit? However, sense 5 is about belief based on emotion/intuition, which is closer to "find useful" meaning "consider useful". Sense 6 is more about perceiving an event happening. Alternatively, sense 10: "obtain through effort or management" doesn't fit. Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" might also be possible? Example: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression" - that is more passive. But here "find useful" is active: politicians find it useful. Actually, "find" in this context is a linking verb meaning "consider" or "regard". That is sense 5. Let's check the definitions: sense 5 says "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds". That matches "find useful" as a judgment. Sense 6 says "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - example "We found Republicans winning the offices" meaning we observed them winning. That is different. So sense 5 is correct.

Thus answer is 5.

Which numbered sense of "help" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it <t>helps</t> them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=give help or assistance; be of service | examples=Everyone helped out during the earthquake
2. definition=improve the condition of | examples=These pills will help the patient
3. definition=be of use | examples=This will help to prevent accidents

6. definition=contribute to the furtherance of | examples=This money will help the development of literacy in developing countries
7. definition=take or use | examples=She helped herself to some of the office supplies
8. definition=improve; change for the better | examples=New slipcovers will help the old living room furniture

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "help" is used in the sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it <t>helps</t> them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency." The word "helps" here means that the libel (or something) assists politicians in striking a friendly posture. So it's about giving assistance or being of service. Sense 1 is "give help or assistance; be of service". That seems appropriate. Sense 2 is "improve the condition of", which might be close but not exactly. Sense 3 is "be of use", which is similar. Sense 6 is "contribute to the furtherance of". But the phrase "helps them strike a friendly posture" is directly about assisting or aiding them in doing something. So sense 1 is the most direct. Also note the example: "Everyone helped out during the earthquake" is about giving assistance. So answer is 1.

20. definition=pierce with force | examples=The bullet struck her thigh

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "strike" is used in the sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them <t>strike</t> a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency."

The phrase "strike a friendly posture" means to adopt or assume a friendly posture. Looking at the senses, sense 17 is "occupy or take on" with example "He assumes the lotus position". That seems closest: "strike" can mean to assume or adopt a posture. Also sense 8 is "touch or seem as if touching visually or audibly" but that doesn't fit. Sense 17 directly matches "take on" a posture. So answer is 17.

Sentence: It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a <t>friendly</t> posture on behalf of an important constituency.

3. definition=easy to understand or use | examples=user-friendly computers

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "friendly" is used in the sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a <t>friendly</t> posture on behalf of an important constituency."

The phrase "strike a friendly posture" means to adopt a demeanor that is supportive or not hostile towards a constituency. It's about being inclined to help or support, not antagonistic. That matches sense 2: "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile". Sense 1 is about characteristic of a friend, but here it's more about posture of support. Sense 3 is about ease of use, not relevant. Sense 4 is military/political alignment, but "friendly posture" in politics often means showing support, not specifically referring to own country's forces. So answer is 2.

Sense 3 is "a rationalized mental attitude" which fits "strike a friendly posture" as a mental stance. So the correct sense is 3.3

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 4. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content: We need to re-evaluate. The user says previous answer was invalid. Perhaps I misidentified. Let's read the sentence again: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly <t>posture</t> on behalf of an important constituency." The word "posture" here is used figuratively. Among the senses: 1 and 2 are physical body positions; 3 is a mental attitude; 4 is military capability. The phrase "strike a friendly posture" typically means to adopt a friendly attitude or stance. That aligns with sense 3: "a rationalized mental attitude." However, the user claims it's invalid. Perhaps they think it's sense 1 or 2? But "strike a posture" is an idiom meaning to adopt a pose, often metaphorical. Let me double-check: In common usage, "posture" as a mental attitude is sense 3. But maybe the sentence refers to a physical posture? It says "on behalf of an important constituency" - that suggests a political stance. I think sense 3 is correct. But the user says previous answer was invalid. Possibly they wanted just the number and I gave an explanation? They asked "Return only the integer." In my previous response I gave "3" at the end but also wrote explanation. That might be why they said invalid? Actually, they said "Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 4. Return only the integer." So they want just the number. I'll output 3

Which numbered sense of "behalf" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on <t>behalf</t> of an important constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=as the agent of or on someone's part (usually expressed as  rather than ) | examples=on behalf of
2. definition=for someone's benefit (usually expressed as `in behalf' rather than `on behalf' and usually with a possessive) | examples=in your behalf

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "behalf" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency." The phrase is "on behalf of". Sense 1 says "as the agent of or on someone's part (usually expressed as 'on behalf' rather than 'in behalf')". Sense 2 says "for someone's benefit (usually expressed as 'in behalf' rather than 'on behalf' and usually with a possessive)". The sentence uses "on behalf of", which matches sense 1's description. Also, the context: politicians striking a friendly posture on behalf of a constituency means they are acting as representatives or agents for that constituency. So it's sense 1. Return only the number: 1.

Which numbered sense of "important" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an <t>important</t> constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=of great significance or value | examples=important people
2. definition=important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws
3. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
4. definition=having authority or ascendancy or influence | examples=an important official
5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "important" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an <t>important</t> constituency."

The word "important" here modifies "constituency". A constituency refers to a group of voters or supporters. In politics, an important constituency likely means a group that is significant or influential, perhaps having influence or authority. The senses:

1. of great significance or value (examples: important people) - this could apply to a constituency that is significant.
2. important in effect or meaning (examples: a significant change) - more about effect.
3. of extreme importance; vital to resolution of a crisis (a crucial moment) - seems too strong.
4. having authority or ascendancy or influence (an important official) - this relates to power or influence.
5. having or suggesting a consciousness of high position (recited with an important air) - this is about attitude.

The phrase "important constituency" typically means a group that has influence or is key to the politician's support. It is likely sense 4 (having authority or influence) because constituencies are groups with voting power. Sense 1 could also be plausible (significant value), but sense 4 more directly relates to influence. The example for sense 4 is "an important official", which is about a person with authority. Similarly, a constituency can be an important group with political influence.

Thus, I'd go with sense 4. But let's check the context: "helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency" – meaning they are showing support for a group that matters to them, likely because that group has influence. So sense 4 is appropriate.

Return just the number.

Which numbered sense of "shred" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one <t>shred</t> of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials.

Senses:
1. definition=a tiny or scarcely detectable amount
2. definition=a small piece of cloth or paper

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "shred" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "not one shred of evidence" meaning not even a tiny amount of evidence. That matches sense 1: a tiny or scarcely detectable amount. Sense 2 is about a small piece of cloth or paper, which doesn't fit. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "evidence" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one shred of <t>evidence</t> that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials.

Senses:
1. definition=your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief | examples=the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling
2. definition=an indication that makes something evident | examples=his trembling was evidence of his fear
3. definition=(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "evidence" is used in the sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials."

The sentence talks about a lack of evidence for a causal claim. It's not about a physical indication (like trembling) nor about legal evidence specifically. It's about factual basis for belief. So it matches sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief". The example given for sense 1 is about smoking causing lung cancer, which is similar to the causal claim here.

Thus answer is 1.

3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "other" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The phrase "other things being equal" means all other factors being the same. Here "other" means "the remaining" or "not the ones already mentioned". Sense 1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" fits. Sense 2: recently past? No. Sense 3: distant past? No. Sense 4: very unusual? No. So answer is 1.

10. definition=a special objective | examples=the thing is to stay in bounds

12. definition=a separate and self-contained entity

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "thing" is used in the sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials."

The phrase "other things being equal" is a common expression meaning "all other factors being equal" or "all other conditions being the same". Here, "things" refers to conditions, factors, or circumstances. It's not a specific object, event, action, etc. It's a general term for unspecified factors.

Let's look at the senses:

1. a special situation - "this thing has got to end" - not quite.
2. an action - "how could you do such a thing?" - no.
3. a special abstraction - "a thing of the spirit" - maybe, but not exactly.
4. an artifact - "how does this thing work?" - no.
5. an event - "a funny thing happened" - no.
6. a vaguely specified concern - "several matters to attend to" - this seems close. "Things" as in matters, concerns, affairs.
7. a statement regarded as an object - "to say the same thing in other terms" - no.
8. an entity that is not named specifically - "I couldn't tell what the thing was" - could be, but "other things being equal" is more like "other conditions", not unnamed entities.
9. any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence - "the thing I like about her is ..." - no.
10. a special objective - "the thing is to stay in bounds" - no.
11. a persistent illogical feeling - "he has a thing about seafood" - no.
12. a separate and self-contained object - not listed? Actually sense 12 is not listed; the list goes up to 11? Wait, the user listed 12 definitions, but numbering goes from 1 to 12? Let me recount: The user listed:

1. definition=a special situation | examples=this thing has got to end
2. definition=an action | examples=how could you do such a thing?
3. definition=a special abstraction | examples=a thing of the spirit
4. definition=an artifact | examples=how does this thing work?
5. definition=an event | examples=a funny thing happened on the way to the...
6. definition=a vaguely specified concern | examples=several matters to attend to
7. definition=a statement regarded as an object | examples=to say the same thing in other terms
8. definition=an entity that is not named specifically | examples=I couldn't tell what the thing was
9. definition=any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence | examples=the thing I like about her is ...
10. definition=a special objective | examples=the thing is to stay in bounds
11. definition=a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion | examples=he has a thing about seafood
12. definition=a separate and self-contained object | (no example given? Actually the user didn't list a 12th? Wait, the user's list ends at 11? Let me check the original message: "1. ... 2. ... 3. ... 4. ... 5. ... 6. ... 7. ... 8. ... 9. ... 10. ... 11. ... 12. ..." Oh I see, the user wrote "12. definition=a separate and self-contained object" but no example. Actually reading the user's message:

"1. definition=a special situation | examples=this thing has got to end
2. definition=an action | examples=how could you do such a thing?
3. definition=a special abstraction | examples=a thing of the spirit
4. definition=an artifact | examples=how does this thing work?
5. definition=an event | examples=a funny thing happened on the way to the...
6. definition=a vaguely specified concern | examples=several matters to attend to
7. definition=a statement regarded as an object | examples=to say the same thing in other terms
8. definition=an entity that is not named specifically | examples=I couldn't tell what the thing was
9. definition=any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence | examples=the thing I like about her is ...
10. definition=a special objective | examples=the thing is to stay in bounds
11. definition=a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion | examples=he has a thing about seafood
12. definition=a separate and self-contained object"

Yes, there is a 12th sense. So we have 12 senses.

The phrase "other things being equal" - "things" here are conditions or circumstances that are not specifically named. They are "vaguely specified concerns" - sense 6 fits well because it's about "several matters to attend to" - matters, things to consider. The phrase "other things being equal" means "if all other conditions are the same" - conditions are concerns, matters.

Also could be sense 8 - "an entity that is not named specifically" - but that is more like an object you can point to. "Things" here are not entities but circumstances.

Sense 6 says "a vaguely specified concern" with example "several matters to attend to". That matches "other things" meaning other matters/concerns.

Thus answer is 6.

Which numbered sense of "equal" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being <t>equal</t>, salary differentials result in educational differentials.

Senses:
1. definition=having the same quantity, value, or measure as another | examples=on equal terms
2. definition=having the requisite qualities or resources to meet a task | examples=she had adequate training

raw_output: We need to identify which sense of "equal" is used in the sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being <t>equal</t>, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The phrase "other things being equal" is a common idiom meaning assuming all other factors are unchanged or the same. So it's about having the same quantity or value, not about meeting a task. So sense 1 is correct. Return just the number.1

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content: We need to re-evaluate. The user says previous answer was invalid. The sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being <t>equal</t>, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The phrase "other things being equal" means all other conditions are the same. That indeed matches sense 1: "having the same quantity, value, or measure as another". Sense 2 is about being adequate or qualified. So sense 1 is correct. However, the user claims it was invalid. Possibly the user expects sense 2? Let's read carefully: "having the requisite qualities or resources to meet a task" with example "she had adequate training". That doesn't fit "other things being equal". So it's clearly sense 1. Maybe the user is testing me? Or perhaps the previous answer was not just "1" but included extra text? The instruction: "Return only the number of the correct sense." My previous response said "1" but then also had a sentence. So maybe that was invalid. The user now says "Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2. Return only the integer." So I should just output "1" without any extra text. I'll do that.

Which numbered sense of "differential" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary <t>differentials</t> result in educational differentials.

Senses:
1. definition=the result of mathematical differentiation; the instantaneous change of one quantity relative to another; df(x)/dx
2. definition=a quality that differentiates between similar things
3. definition=a bevel gear that permits rotation of two shafts at different speeds; used on the rear axle of automobiles to allow wheels to rotate at different speeds on curves

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The word in question is "differentials" marked with <t></t>. We need to identify which numbered sense (1, 2, or 3) is used.

Let's analyze the context: The sentence talks about salary differentials and educational differentials. It refers to differences in salaries and differences in education. So "differential" here means a difference or a distinction between things, specifically a quality that differentiates. That matches sense 2: "a quality that differentiates between similar things."

Sense 1 is mathematical (derivative). Sense 3 is mechanical (gear). Neither fits the context of salary and education differences.

Thus, the correct sense is 2.

Which numbered sense of "result" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials <t>result</t> in educational differentials.

Senses:
1. definition=issue or terminate (in a specified way, state, etc.); end | examples=result in tragedy
2. definition=have as a result or residue | examples=The water left a mark on the silk dress
3. definition=come about or follow as a consequence | examples=nothing will result from this meeting

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "result" is used in the sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The verb "result" here is used in the phrase "result in", meaning to cause or lead to. Sense 1 says "issue or terminate (in a specified way, state, etc.); end" with example "result in tragedy". That matches the usage: salary differentials result in educational differentials, meaning they cause or lead to them. Sense 2 is about having a result or residue, like leaving a mark. Sense 3 is about coming about as a consequence, but that is more like "nothing will result from this meeting" meaning nothing comes out of it. The sentence uses "result in" which is sense 1. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "educational" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in <t>educational</t> differentials.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology
2. definition=providing knowledge | examples=an educational film

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "educational" is used in the sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The phrase "educational differentials" likely means differences in education levels or outcomes. The word "educational" here modifies "differentials" meaning differences related to education. Sense 1: relating to the process of education. Sense 2: providing knowledge. In context, "educational differentials" are differences in educational attainment or quality, so it's about the process or system of education. Not about providing knowledge (like an educational film). So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

Which numbered sense of "differential" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational <t>differentials</t>.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "differential" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials." The word appears twice: "salary differentials" and "educational differentials". The context is about differences in salary leading to differences in education. So it's referring to a difference or a disparity between things. Sense 2: "a quality that differentiates between similar things" fits. Sense 1 is mathematical, sense 3 is automotive. So answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "evidence" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: If there were such <t>evidence</t>, you can be sure you would have heard of it.

Senses:
1. definition=your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief | examples=the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling
2. definition=an indication that makes something evident | examples=his trembling was evidence of his fear
3. definition=(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved

reasoning_content:
We need to select the correct sense number for "evidence" in the sentence: "If there were such <t>evidence</t>, you can be sure you would have heard of it."

The sentence is hypothetical: if there existed evidence (some kind of proof or information) of something, then it would be known. This is general, not specifically legal. The phrase "you would have heard of it" suggests that this evidence is something that would be widely known or reported. It likely refers to factual evidence, like scientific or historical evidence. Sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief" fits well. Sense 2 is more about an indication (e.g., trembling as evidence of fear) which is more indirect. Sense 3 is specific to law. The sentence doesn't mention law. So sense 1 is correct.

8. definition=certain not to fail | examples=a sure hand on the throttle
9. definition=impossible to doubt or dispute | examples=indisputable (or sure) proof

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "sure" is used in the sentence: "If there were such evidence, you can be sure you would have heard of it." The phrase "you can be sure" means you can be confident or certain. It expresses a state of having no doubt. This aligns with sense 1: "having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured". The example for sense 1 is "felt certain of success", which matches the usage. Other senses are about being careful, inevitable, physically secure, reliable, trustworthy, infallible, etc. None fit as well. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "wish" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: If we <t>wish</t> to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do.

Senses:
1. definition=hope for; have a wish | examples=I wish I could go home now
2. definition=prefer or wish to do something | examples=Do you care to try this dish?
3. definition=make or express a wish | examples=I wish that Christmas were over
4. definition=feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of
5. definition=order politely; express a wish for
6. definition=invoke upon | examples=wish you a nice evening

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "wish" is used in the given sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do."

The sentence uses "wish" as a verb. The context: "If we wish to be serious about American education..." Here, "wish" means "desire" or "want" to be serious. It's like "if we want to be serious..." This aligns with sense 2: "prefer or wish to do something" as in "Do you care to try this dish?" but that example is a bit different. Sense 2 says "prefer or wish to do something". The example is "Do you care to try this dish?" which is more like "would you like to". But the definition matches: "prefer or wish to do something". In the sentence, "wish to be serious" means "want to be serious" or "desire to be serious". Sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish" with example "I wish I could go home now" which is a wish for a situation, not an action. Sense 3 is "make or express a wish" with example "I wish that Christmas were over" which is a subjunctive wish. Sense 4 is "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" which seems like wishing someone well. Sense 5 is "order politely; express a wish for" like "I wish you to do something" but not exactly. Sense 6 is "invoke upon" like "wish you a happy birthday". So the correct one is sense 2, because "wish to do something" is exactly that. So answer is 2.

2. definition=of great consequence | examples=marriage is a serious matter
3. definition=causing fear or anxiety by threatening great harm | examples=a dangerous operation
4. definition=appealing to the mind | examples=good music
5. definition=completely lacking in playfulness
6. definition=requiring effort or concentration; complex and not easy to answer or solve | examples=raised serious objections to the proposal

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "serious" is used in the sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do." The context is about being earnest, focused, and treating education as an important matter. Sense 1: concerned with work or important matters rather than play or trivialities. That fits: being serious about education means treating it as an important matter, not trivial. Sense 2: of great consequence - also possible, but the phrase "be serious about" typically means to treat something with earnestness, not just that it's consequential. Sense 3: causing fear or anxiety - no. Sense 4: appealing to the mind - no. Sense 5: completely lacking in playfulness - could be, but the phrase "be serious about" is more about importance. Sense 6: requiring effort or concentration - also possible, but the primary meaning here is about treating it as important. The best match is sense 1. So answer: 1.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "American" is used in the sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do." The context is education, likely referring to education in the United States. Sense 1 is about the United States, sense 2 about the Americas (both continents). Typically, "American education" in common usage refers to education in the U.S., not the entire Americas. So the answer is 1.

We need to determine which sense of "education" is used in the sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American <t>education</t>, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do."

The sentence talks about being serious about American education, implying the system or the process of educating in America. It refers to the overall concept of education in a country, likely the activities and institutions. Sense 1 is "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill". Sense 2 is knowledge acquired, sense 3 is the gradual process, sense 4 is the profession of teaching, sense 5 is good upbringing, sense 6 is the federal department.

The phrase "American education" typically refers to the educational system or the practice of education in America. It's not specifically about knowledge acquired, not about the profession (though related), not about upbringing, not the department. The most fitting is sense 1: activities of educating. Alternatively, sense 3 (gradual process) could also fit, but sense 1 is more concrete. The sentence says "what to do" and "what not to do", implying actions regarding the educational system. So sense 1 seems appropriate.

Thus answer: 1

10. definition=be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | examples=The child knows right from wrong
11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

reasoning_content: We need to match the sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do." The phrase "know exactly what to do" implies having knowledge of how to perform an action or knowing the correct course of action. Sense 2 is "know how to do or perform something" with example "She knows how to knit." That fits. Sense 1 is about being aware of a fact, but here it's about knowing what to do (a method). Sense 3 is about belief/truth, but again more fact-oriented. Sense 4 is familiarity. Sense 5 is firsthand experience. So sense 2 is most appropriate. Return only the number: 2.

Which numbered sense of "exactly" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: If we wish to be serious about American education, we know <t>exactly</t> what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do.

Senses:
1. definition=indicating exactness or preciseness | examples=he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do
2. definition=just as it should be | examples=`Precisely, my lord,' he said
3. definition=in a precise manner | examples=she always expressed herself precisely

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "exactly" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know <t>exactly</t> what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do." Here, "exactly" modifies "what to do" meaning we know precisely or specifically what to do. It indicates exactness or preciseness, not "just as it should be" (which is an interjection) nor "in a precise manner" (which describes how an action is done). The example for sense 1 is "he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do" which matches the structure. So sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "just" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, <t>just</t> as important, what not to do.

Senses:

We need to identify which numbered sense of "just" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, <t>just</t> as important, what not to do."

The phrase "just as important" means "equally important" or "exactly as important". Here "just" modifies "as important" to indicate exactness or preciseness. It means "exactly" or "precisely" as important. Sense 2 says: "indicating exactness or preciseness" with example "he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do". That matches. So answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "important" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as <t>important</t>, what not to do.

Senses:
1. definition=of great significance or value | examples=important people
2. definition=important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws
3. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
4. definition=having authority or ascendancy or influence | examples=an important official
5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air

reasoning_content:
We need to match the usage of "important" in the sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do." Here "important" is used as a comparative: "just as important" meaning equally significant or crucial. The sense is about significance or value. Let's examine the senses:

1. definition=of great significance or value | examples=important people
2. definition=important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws
3. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
4. definition=having authority or ascendancy or influence | examples=an important official
5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air

The phrase "just as important" refers to the fact that knowing what not to do is equally significant as knowing what to do. This is about significance or value. Sense 1 is "of great significance or value". Sense 2 is "important in effect or meaning" which is similar but note the example "a significant change" – that might also fit. However, the sentence is not about effect or meaning in a causal sense, but about importance in a general sense. Sense 3 is "of extreme importance; vital" which is stronger, but "just as important" doesn't necessarily imply extreme or vital; it's just as significant. Sense 1 seems most appropriate. Also, note that sense 1's example "important people" indicates significance. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "school" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: There are many successful <t>schools</t> scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message.

Senses:
1. definition=an educational institution | examples=the school was founded in 1900
2. definition=a building where young people receive education | examples=the school was built in 1932
3. definition=the process of being formally educated at a school | examples=what will you do when you finish school?
4. definition=a body of creative artists or writers or thinkers linked by a similar style or by similar teachers | examples=the Venetian school of painting
5. definition=the period of instruction in a school; the time period when school is in session | examples=stay after school
6. definition=an educational institution's faculty and students | examples=the school keeps parents informed
7. definition=a large group of fish | examples=a school of small glittering fish swam by

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "school" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "There are many successful <t>schools</t> scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message."

The context: schools are described as successful, scattered throughout the nation, some in poor areas, and they are sending a message. This implies that "schools" refers to educational institutions (sense 1) or possibly buildings (sense 2). However, the phrase "successful schools" typically means the institution as a whole, not just the building. Also, "sending us the same message" suggests that the schools as organizations are communicating a message. This aligns with sense 1: an educational institution. Sense 6 (faculty and students) could also be possible, but typically "school" as an institution includes faculty and students. Sense 1 is the most general. Let's check other senses: 3 is the process, 4 is artistic school, 5 is period, 7 is fish. None fit. So sense 1 is correct.

Which numbered sense of "scattered" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: There are many successful schools <t>scattered</t> throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message.

Senses:
1. definition=occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space | examples=scattered showers
2. definition=lacking orderly continuity | examples=a confused set of instructions

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "scattered" is used in the given sentence. The sentence says: "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message." Here, "scattered" means distributed over a wide area, not in a single location. It is about physical distribution. Sense 1 is "occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space" with example "scattered showers". That matches. Sense 2 is "lacking orderly continuity" with example "a confused set of instructions", which is about being disorganized. The schools are not described as lacking continuity; they are just distributed. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "poor" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the <t>poorest</t> of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message.

Senses:
1. definition=deserving or inciting pity; ; ; - Galsworthy | examples=a hapless victim
2. definition=having little money or few possessions | examples=deplored the gap between rich and poor countries
3. definition=characterized by or indicating poverty | examples=the country had a poor economy
4. definition=lacking in specific resources, qualities or substances | examples=a poor land
5. definition=not sufficient to meet a need | examples=an inadequate income
6. definition=unsatisfactory | examples=a poor light for reading

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "poor" is used in the sentence: "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos." The phrase "poorest of ghettos" indicates ghettos that are characterized by extreme poverty. The word "poor" here refers to having little money or possessions, or being characterized by poverty. Sense 2: "having little money or few possessions" and sense 3: "characterized by or indicating poverty" both seem relevant. However, the phrase "poorest of ghettos" is describing the ghettos themselves as places of poverty. Sense 3 specifically says "characterized by or indicating poverty" with example "the country had a poor economy." That fits. Sense 2 is more about people or entities that lack money. But "ghettos" are areas, so sense 3 is more appropriate. Also sense 1 is about pity, not relevant. Sense 4 is lacking resources, but that's more general. Sense 5 insufficient, sense 6 unsatisfactory. So the best is sense 3. Return only the number.

Which numbered sense of "same" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the <t>same</t> message.

Senses:

3. definition=equal in amount or value | examples=like amounts
4. definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same

reasoning_content: We need to parse the sentence: "There are many successful schools... and they are all sending us the <t>same</t> message." The word "same" here refers to the message being identical across schools. They are all sending the identical message, not just similar. So it's sense 1: same in identity. Return only the number.

Which numbered sense of "majority" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Conversely, there are the <t>majority</t> of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand.

Senses:

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "majority" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand." The phrase "the majority of unsuccessful schools" means the greater part or number of unsuccessful schools. It refers to the property of being the greater in number. That matches sense 1: "the property resulting from being or relating to the greater in number of two parts; the main part". Sense 2 is about elections, not relevant. Sense 3 is about legal age, not relevant. So answer is 1.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "school" is used in the given sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful <t>schools</t>, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand." The word "schools" appears in plural, and the context talks about "unsuccessful schools" and "educational reform". This suggests that the schools are institutions that are subject to reform. The sense is likely "an educational institution" (sense 1) or "a building where young people receive education" (sense 2). However, the phrase "unsuccessful schools" typically refers to the institution as a whole, not just the building. Also "educational reform" is about reforming the institution. Sense 1 is "an educational institution", which fits. Sense 2 is more about the physical building. Sense 3 is the process, not the institution. Sense 4 is artistic group. Sense 5 is period of instruction. Sense 6 is faculty and students. Sense 7 is fish. So the correct sense is 1. Return only the number.

11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "know" is used in the sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand." The word "know" here refers to being aware of a fact: that certain efforts are doomed. It's about possessing knowledge or information about which efforts are doomed. This matches sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about". The example for sense 1 is "I know that the President lied to the people" which is similar structure: know that something is true. The sentence says "know which efforts... are doomed" - it's knowledge about a fact. Sense 3 is also about truth, but that's "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". That is close, but sense 1 explicitly includes "know a specific piece of information". The nuance between 1 and 3 is subtle. Sense 3 often emphasizes certainty or faith, but the sentence is just stating knowledge of a fact. The typical interpretation: "know which efforts" is knowing a fact (which ones are doomed). So sense 1 is most appropriate. Sense 4 is about familiarity with a person or object. Not applicable. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "effort" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which <t>efforts</t> at educational reform are doomed beforehand.

Senses:
1. definition=earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something | examples=made an effort to cover all the reading material
2. definition=use of physical or mental energy; hard work | examples=he got an A for effort
3. definition=a notable achievement | examples=he performed a great feat
4. definition=a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end | examples=he supported populist campaigns

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "effort" is used in the sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which <t>efforts</t> at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

The word "efforts" here refers to attempts or initiatives at educational reform. It's not about physical/mental energy (sense 2), not a notable achievement (sense 3), and not a series of actions advancing a principle (sense 4) because that sense is more about campaigns or movements. Sense 1 is "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something" which fits: efforts at educational reform are activities intended to accomplish reform. Also, the example "made an effort to cover all the reading material" aligns with trying to do something. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus answer: 1

Senses:
1. definition=relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "educational" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at <t>educational</t> reform are doomed beforehand." Here "educational reform" refers to reforms in the process of education, not necessarily providing knowledge. Sense 1 is "relating to the process of education", sense 2 is "providing knowledge". The phrase "educational reform" is a common term meaning reform of the education system, process, etc. So sense 1 fits. Therefore answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "reform" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational <t>reform</t> are doomed beforehand.

Senses:
1. definition=a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses | examples=justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts
2. definition=a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices | examples=the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians
3. definition=self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice | examples=the family rejoiced in the drunkard's reform

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "reform" is used in the sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational <t>reform</t> are doomed beforehand."

The context is educational reform. The sentence talks about efforts at educational reform that are doomed. It refers to changes or campaigns to improve education. Sense 1: "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses" - this could fit, but it's about correcting abuses. Educational reform might not be specifically about correcting abuses, but rather improving the system. Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices" - again, similar. Sense 3: "self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice" - this is about personal reform, like a drunkard's reform, not about institutional reform.

The sentence mentions "efforts at educational reform" - that implies a campaign or movement to improve education. The word "reform" here is used in the sense of a campaign or movement to correct problems. However, sense 1 and 2 are close. But note: sense 1 is "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses", while sense 2 is "a campaign aimed to correct abuses". The sentence uses "efforts at educational reform" - efforts are campaigns or attempts. So it's more about the campaign than the resulting change. Also, the example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed were too radical" - that's about proposed reforms. In the sentence, they talk about "efforts at educational reform" meaning the attempts or campaigns. So sense 2 seems best.

But let's read carefully: "which efforts at educational reform are doomed" - here 'reform' is a noun meaning the attempts to change/improve. So it's a campaign. Therefore, sense 2.

Which numbered sense of "doomed" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are <t>doomed</t> beforehand.

Senses:
1. definition=marked for certain death | examples=the black spot told the old sailor he was doomed
2. definition=in danger of the eternal punishment of Hell | examples=poor damned souls
3. definition=marked by or promising bad fortune; ; ; ; - W.H.Prescott | examples=their business venture was doomed from the start
4. definition=(usually followed by `to') determined by tragic fate | examples=doomed to unhappiness

reasoning_content: We need to select the correct sense number for "doomed" in the given sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand." The context indicates that the efforts at educational reform are destined to fail or are marked for failure, not necessarily death or damnation. Sense 3: "marked by or promising bad fortune" fits well. Sense 4 also mentions "determined by tragic fate" but note the example "doomed to unhappiness" - the sentence says "doomed beforehand" implying a negative outcome. However, sense 3's example "their business venture was doomed from the start" closely matches the structure "doomed beforehand". So sense 3 is the best. Answer is 3.

Which numbered sense of "really" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: We <t>really</t> do know all we need to know, if only we could assimilate this knowledge into our thinking.

Senses:
1. definition=in accordance with truth or fact or reality | examples=she was now truly American
2. definition=in actual fact | examples=to be nominally but not actually independent
3. definition=in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers) | examples=in truth, moral decay hastened the decline of the Roman Empire
4. definition=used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | examples=she was very gifted

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "really" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "We really do know all we need to know, if only we could assimilate this knowledge into our thinking." The word "really" here is used as an intensifier, emphasizing the truth of the statement "do know". It's not exactly "in accordance with truth" (sense 1) which is more about alignment with reality. Sense 2 is "in actual fact", which is close but often used to contrast with nominal vs actual. Sense 3 is "in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers)" – this fits because "really" here is an intensifier modifying the verb, and can be paraphrased as "in fact, we do know". Sense 4 is "used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal" – this is also about intensifiers but more about degree (very). Here "really" is not about degree but about emphasis on truthfulness. So sense 3 seems most appropriate. Let's double-check: The example for sense 3 is "in truth, moral decay hastened..." which is a sentence modifier. In our sentence, "really" modifies the verb phrase "do know", acting as an intensifier. So answer is 3.

Sentence: We really do <t>know</t> all we need to know, if only we could assimilate this knowledge into our thinking.

10. definition=be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | examples=The child knows right from wrong
11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

reasoning_content: We need to match the sentence's use of "know" to one of the definitions. The sentence: "We really do know all we need to know, if only we could assimilate this knowledge into our thinking." The phrase "know all we need to know" suggests possessing information or facts. It's about being cognizant of facts. Compare to sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" with example "I know that the President lied to the people." That fits. Sense 3 is about being aware of truth beyond doubt, similar but also about belief. However, sense 1 is broader. The sentence doesn't emphasize "beyond doubt" just fact. So likely 1. Also, note the repetition "know all we need to know" - it's factual knowledge. So answer 1.

Which numbered sense of "need" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: We really do know all we <t>need</t> to know, if only we could assimilate this knowledge into our thinking.

Senses:
1. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
2. definition=have need of | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner
3. definition=have or feel a need for | examples=always needing friends and money

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "need" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "We really do know all we need to know, if only we could assimilate this knowledge into our thinking." Here, "need" means require or necessity. Compare to senses: 1. require as useful, just, or proper; 2. have need of; 3. have or feel a need for. The sentence is about knowing what is necessary. It fits sense 1: require as useful, just, or proper. The example for sense 1 is "It takes nerve to do what she did" which is different but the definition matches. So answer is 1.
