Sentence: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their <t>children</t>."

Senses:
1. a young person of either sex
2. a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age
3. an immature childish person
4. a member of a clan or tribe

In the sentence, "their children" clearly refers to offspring (sons or daughters). The sense does not necessarily refer to young age; it could be of any age. So sense 2 is the most accurate. Sense 1 is about young persons, but here the focus is on parent-child relationship, not age. So answer is 2.

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

Senses:
1. connected by participation or association or use | examples: we accomplished nothing, simply because of the large number of people involved
2. entangled or hindered as if e.g. in mire | examples: the difficulties in which the question is involved
3. emotionally involved
4. highly complex or intricate and occasionally devious; ... | examples: the Byzantine tax structure
5. enveloped | examples: a castle involved in mist

We need to pick the correct sense number. The sentence says: "Parents should be involved with their children's education..." This means parents should participate, take part, be connected by participation. So sense 1 fits: "connected by participation or association or use". The definition exactly matches. There's no entanglement or hindrance, no emotional involvement specifically highlighted (though could be, but "involved with their children's education" is about participation, not necessarily emotional involvement as a primary sense; sense 3 is "emotionally involved", which is a subset but here the context is clearly participation). Sense 1 is the most direct.

Thus, answer: 1

Thus, the answer is 2.

6. definition=the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education (including federal aid to educational institutions and students); created 1979

We need to choose the correct sense. The sentence: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school." Here, "education" refers to the process of educating or instructing children. It's about the activities of imparting knowledge or skill, which parents do at home. It might also be seen as the gradual process of acquiring knowledge. But sense 1 is "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill". Sense 3 is "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge". The sentence says "education at home", which contrasts with "in school". Parents being involved with education at home could mean they are involved in the teaching/learning activities at home. It's likely sense 1, the activities of educating. "Education" in sense 3 is more about the process, but the phrase "involved with their children's education" often means the schooling/learning process. Let's see the example for sense 1: "he received no formal education". That's about schooling. Sense 3 example: "education is a preparation for life" – that's more abstract. The sentence says "at home, not in school". It's about where the educating takes place. So it's the activities of educating or instructing. Thus, sense 1. Let's double-check: Could it be sense 2? "knowledge acquired by learning and instruction" – "involved with their children's knowledge acquired" doesn't fit well. Sense 5? upbringing? It says "education", not "breeding". Sense 1 is the most straightforward. Answer: 1.

7. definition=an environment offering affection and security | examples=home is where the heart is
8. definition=a social unit living together | examples=he moved his family to Virginia
9. definition=an institution where people are cared for | examples=a home for the elderly

We need to match the usage "at home" in the context of children's education. The phrase "at home" here contrasts with "in school", meaning in the household, the place where they live, the domestic environment. It's not about the building (sense 1 or 2?), but specifically the environment where family life happens. Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" – that fits. It could also be sense 7: "an environment offering affection and security" – that's a more metaphorical sense. The sentence says "at home, not in school", so it's a physical location contrast. "Home" as the place where the family resides. Sense 1 seems most direct. Sense 2 is "housing that someone is living in", which is more about the physical structure (dwelling). "At home" typically means in one's own residence, which is sense 1. Sense 7 is more abstract ("home is where the heart is"). The sentence is straightforward: education at home vs. at school. So it refers to the place where one lives. I'll go with sense 1.

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "see" is used in the sentence:

"They should <t>see</t> to it that their kids do not play truant; they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should scrutinize the report card."

We need to return only the number.

The phrase is "see to it that...". This is a phrasal verb "see to" meaning to make sure that something is done, to attend to it, to ensure. Checking the provided senses, number 10 says: "definition=be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something | examples=He verified that the valves were closed". This matches "see to it that..." meaning "make certain that...". The sentence even parallels it with "they should make certain that...". So sense 10 is the correct one.

Let's confirm: "see to it that" = ensure, make sure. The sense definition for 10 is "be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something". Perfect. The example "He verified that the valves were closed" uses "verified" but the sense is "see" as in ensuring. So the number is 10.

3. definition=English dramatist (1558-1594)
4. definition=a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age | examples=they had three children
5. definition=young goat

In the sentence, "their kids" refers to children, specifically offspring. The context mentions "their kids do not play truant" and "the children spend enough time doing homework". "Kids" here means sons/daughters, i.e., offspring. While sense 1 is "a young person of either sex", sense 4 is "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age". The possessive "their kids" indicates offspring. Also, the sentence later says "the children", but that doesn't necessarily mean only young persons; it refers to their offspring. Sense 4 explicitly defines it as offspring of any age, which fits "their kids" better than sense 1 which is just "young person". The phrase "their kids" implies a parent-child relationship. So sense 4 is the most precise. Let's double-check: sense 1 is a young person, but if someone says "their kids", they normally mean their children, regardless of age. But the context is about playing truant and homework, so they are school-age children, thus young persons. Both 1 and 4 could apply, but typically "kid" as "offspring" is a separate sense. I need to see which one is the intended sense. In the given list, sense 4 specifies "of any age", while sense 1 is "young person". In the sentence, they are clearly young (school), but the word "their kids" emphasizes the relationship (their offspring). Often lexicographers distinguish between "child" as young person and "child" as offspring. The presence of both senses suggests we need to pick the one that matches the usage. The phrase "their kids" indicates possession and relationship, so sense 4: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age. Even if they are young, the possessive "their" points to the offspring sense. So I'll go with 4.

"

We need to identify the sense of "play" in the phrase "play truant". The phrase "play truant" means to be absent from school without permission, i.e., to skip school. It's an idiomatic expression. Let's check the senses provided for a match.

The phrase is "play truant". Some senses:
1. participate in games or sport
2. act or have an effect ...
...
8. pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind (He acted the idiot)
...
16. engage in an activity as if it were a game rather than take it seriously
17. behave in a certain way (play safe)
...

"Play truant" is an idiom meaning to stay away from school without permission. Which sense fits? It often means to act like a truant, to be a truant. Sense 8: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind" – "He acted the idiot". Not exactly, "play truant" isn't pretending, it's actually being truant.
Sense 16: "engage in an activity as if it were a game rather than take it seriously" – could be, but "play truant" is a fixed phrase.
Sense 17: "behave in a certain way" – example: "play safe". "Play safe" is an idiom. "Play truant" might be similar: behaving in a certain way (truant). Let's see if there's a better one.

Some dictionaries define "play truant" as "to stay away from school without permission". The word "play" here is used in the sense of "to engage in" or "to behave as". It might be considered sense 17: "behave in a certain way" (play safe, play truant). But let's verify if any other sense matches more closely.

Sense 5: "be at play; be engaged in playful activity" – no.
Sense 8: pretend – no.
Sense 11: engage in recreational activities – no.
Sense 23: behave carelessly or indifferently – "Play about with a young girl's affection" – maybe? But "play truant" is more specific.

Often, "play" in "play truant" is classified as "to act or behave in a specified way". For example, "play the fool", "play safe", "play truant". So sense 17: "behave in a certain way" with example "play safe" is the most direct match. The example "play safe" is given. "Play truant" is exactly the same construction: "play" + adjective/noun indicating a role or behavior.

Thus, I'll go with sense 17.

Senses:
1. a young person of either sex
2. a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age
3. an immature childish person
4. a member of a clan or tribe

We need to find which sense matches the use of "children" in the sentence. The sentence refers to "their kids" and "children" in the context of parents making sure their kids do homework, don't play truant, and scrutinizing report cards. This clearly means offspring, sons or daughters. The word "kids" is used, then "children" as a synonym. The context is parental responsibility. So sense 2 ("a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age") is the correct one. Sense 1 is about young people generally, but here it's specifically in relation to "their" kids, indicating offspring. Sense 3 is metaphorical, sense 4 is about tribe members. So answer is 2.

4. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go
5. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
6. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears
7. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock | examples=do you know what time it is?
8. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
9. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration
10. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months"

The phrase is "spend enough time doing homework". Here "time" refers to a resource that can be spent. It's a period of time considered as a resource. That matches sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something". Example given: "take time to smell the roses". "Spend time" is a very common collocation for this sense. So the answer is 2.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'scrutinize' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: They should see to it that their kids do not play truant; they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should <t>scrutinize</t> the report card.

Senses:
1. definition=to look at critically or searchingly, or in minute detail | examples=he scrutinized his likeness in the mirror
2. definition=examine carefully for accuracy with the intent of verification | examples=audit accounts and tax returns

We need to decide which sense fits "scrutinize the report card". The context: parents making sure kids do homework, checking the report card. The report card is a document that shows grades. Parents would examine it carefully for accuracy and to verify the child's performance. Sense 2: "examine carefully for accuracy with the intent of verification" fits well. Sense 1 is more about looking critically or in minute detail, like examining one's reflection. The report card scrutiny is to check grades, i.e., verify accuracy of reported performance. So sense 2 is more appropriate.

Thus answer: 2

2. definition=an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained"

The sentence uses "parents" in the context of being dissatisfied with a school and switching to another. This refers to human parents (fathers or mothers) who have children in school. That matches sense 1. Sense 2 is about organisms (plants or animals). So answer is 1

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

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

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'option' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

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

Senses:
1. definition=the right to buy or sell property at an agreed price; the right is purchased and if it is not exercised by a stated date the money is forfeited
2. definition=one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen | examples=what option did I have?
3. definition=the act of choosing or selecting | examples=your choice of colors was unfortunate

We need to determine which sense matches the use in the sentence. The sentence says "they should have the option of switching to another." This implies they should have the choice or the ability to choose to switch. It's not about a financial option (sense 1). Sense 3 is "the act of choosing or selecting", but here "option" is something they have, a possibility or choice. It's more like "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen" but phrased as "option of switching" – "switching to another" is one of the things they can choose, so it's sense 2. Sense 2 defines it as "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen." So they have the choice among options; switching is an option. This matches sense 2. So answer: 2.

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

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

6. flog with or as if with a flexible rod
7. reverse (a direction, attitude, or course of action)

We need the number. The sentence: "switch to another" (another school). They are changing from one school to another. "Switch to" means abandon one and take up another. Sense 3: "lay aside, abandon, or leave for another | examples=switch to a different brand of beer". This matches exactly: "switching to another". Sense 1 is about changing order or sequence, not exactly fitting. Sense 4 is about exchanging roles, etc. So answer is 3

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

Sentence: -- "<t>Community</t> involvement "is an even worse idea.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'community' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: -- '<t>Community</t> involvement 'is an even worse idea."

Senses:
1. a group of people living in a particular local area
2. common ownership
3. a group of nations having common interests
4. agreement as to goals
5. a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences
6. (ecology) a group of interdependent organisms inhabiting the same region and interacting with each other

We need to interpret "Community involvement". In this phrase, "community" is used as a noun modifier. "Community involvement" typically means involvement of or by the community (local residents, the public). It refers to the participation of people living in a particular area or sharing a common characteristic. Sense 1 ("a group of people living in a particular local area") seems most appropriate. Sense 5 is "a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences" which is a physical place, but "community involvement" isn't about a district involving itself; it's about the people. So sense 1 fits. Let's double-check: "community" often refers to the people in an area, not just the area. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: -- "Community involvement "is an <t>even</t> worse idea.

4. definition=to the full extent | examples=loyal even unto death

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Community involvement is an even worse idea." And we need to determine which numbered sense of "even" (marked with <t></t>) is used. The senses are:

1. used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected | examples=even an idiot knows that
2. in spite of; notwithstanding | examples=even when he is sick, he works
3. to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | examples=looked sick and felt even worse
4. to the full extent | examples=loyal even unto death

The sentence says: "Community involvement is an even worse idea." The word "even" here is modifying "worse", which is a comparative adjective. It intensifies the degree of "worse", meaning to a greater extent. Sense 3 matches: "to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons" and the example "looked sick and felt even worse" is very similar. Therefore, the correct sense is 3.

1. definition=(comparative of 'bad') inferior to another in quality or condition or desirability | examples=this road is worse than the first one we took
..."

The sentence uses "worse" as a comparative adjective modifying "idea". The phrase is "an even worse idea". This implies that the idea of community involvement is inferior in quality or desirability compared to something else. It matches sense 1: "(comparative of 'bad') inferior to another in quality or condition or desirability". So the answer is 1.

5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures"

We need to return just the number.

Let's analyze the sentence: "Community involvement "is an even worse <t>idea</t>." The tag <t>idea</t> means that "idea" is the word in question. The sentence says: "Community involvement" is an even worse idea. (There might be a quote before "Community involvement", but the important part is that "Community involvement" is the subject, and it is being described as "an even worse idea".) Which sense of "idea" fits? Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about", example: "it was not a good idea". That matches perfectly: "an even worse idea" is like "not a good idea", just comparative. It's about a thought or suggestion. Sense 2 is about intention, e.g., "his idea was to visit his teacher". Sense 3 is a personal view, e.g., "he has an idea that we don't like him" (like a notion or belief). Sense 4 is an estimate. Sense 5 is music. Clearly sense 1 fits best, as it's a general cognitive content, a suggestion or plan. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Here</t>, the experience of New York City is decisive.

Senses:

2. definition=in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail | examples=what do we have here?
3. definition=to this place (especially toward the speaker) | examples=come here, please
4. definition=at this time; now | examples=we'll adjourn here for lunch and discuss the remaining issues this afternoon

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "here" is used in the sentence: "Here, the experience of New York City is decisive."

The word "here" is marked with <t></t>. The sentence is: "Here, the experience of New York City is decisive."

Let's look at the senses:

1. in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is. Example: "I work here." This refers to physical location.
2. in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail. Example: "what do we have here?" This refers to a particular context or point in a discussion.
3. to this place (especially toward the speaker). Example: "come here, please." This is directional.
4. at this time; now. Example: "we'll adjourn here for lunch..." This refers to a point in time.

In the sentence: "Here, the experience of New York City is decisive." The word "here" is used to introduce a point or aspect of an argument. It means "in this circumstance" or "on this point." It's not physical location, nor directional, nor time. So sense 2 fits.

Thus, the answer is 2.

Senses:

1. definition=by a particular locality | examples=it was locally decided
2. definition=to a restricted area of the body | examples=apply this medicine topically

We need to determine which sense fits. The word "locally" in the sentence modifies "elected". "Locally elected" means elected by the people in a particular locality (like a town, city, or region). That matches sense 1: by a particular locality. Sense 2 is about applying medicine to a restricted area of the body, which is clearly not the case. So the answer is

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, <t>especially</t> in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and asked which sense of "especially" is used. The senses are numbered 1 and 2.

Sentence: "Locally elected school boards, <t>especially</t> in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

Sense 1: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" (example: "he was particularly fussy about spelling")
Sense 2: "in a special manner" (example: "a specially arranged dinner")

In the sentence, "especially" is used to single out "in our larger cities" as a specific case where the statement is even more true. It means "particularly" or "to a greater extent", which matches sense 1. Sense 2 (in a special manner) doesn't fit because it's not saying the school boards become prey in a special manner, but rather that this is particularly true in larger cities.

Thus the answer is 1.

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger <t>cities</t>, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians.

Senses:
1. definition=a large and densely populated urban area; may include several independent administrative districts | examples=Ancient Troy was a great city

3. definition=people living in a large densely populated municipality | examples=the city voted for Republicans in 1994

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence with a word "cities" tagged, and three senses of "city." We need to determine which sense is used.

Sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger <t>cities</t>, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

We need to choose among:
1. a large and densely populated urban area; may include several independent administrative districts
2. an incorporated administrative district established by state charter
3. people living in a large densely populated municipality

In the sentence, "cities" refers to geographical/political areas where school boards exist. It's talking about larger cities as places. It's not about the administrative district as a legal entity (sense 2 focuses on the incorporated administrative district itself). Sense 1 is the general geographical urban area. Sense 3 is the people (metonymy). The sentence says "in our larger cities" – a location. It says school boards become prey of politicians. The word "cities" here denotes the place, the urban area. Sense 1 fits perfectly. It's not referring to the legal entity specifically (like "the city raised the tax rate" where the city acts as a government). Here it's just "in our larger cities" as places. So sense 1.

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

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, <t>become</t> the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians.

Sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, <t>become</t> the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

Senses:
1. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news
2. definition=undergo a change or development | examples=The water turned into ice
3. definition=come into existence | examples=What becomes has duration
4. definition=enhance the appearance of | examples=Mourning becomes Electra

We need to identify which sense fits the sentence.

The sentence: "school boards ... become the prey of ... politicians." Meaning they turn into prey, i.e., they assume the state/condition of being prey. That matches sense 1: "enter or assume a certain state or condition." Sense 2 is "undergo a change or development" – closely related, but sense 1 specifically says "enter or assume a certain state or condition". The example for sense 1 is "He became annoyed", which is an adjective (state/condition). "Become the prey" is a noun phrase, but it still means they assume the role/condition of prey. Sense 2's example is "The water turned into ice" (a change/development). But sense 1 is more about assuming a state or condition. Often, "become" + noun is considered "enter or assume a state/condition" as well. Let's check typical dictionary definitions: "become" meaning "to come to be" (e.g., she became a lawyer) is sense 1. Sense 2 "undergo a change or development" might be more like "the situation became worse" but "turned into ice" is also a change. However, "become + noun" is often sense 1 "to begin to be". The given sense 1 definition: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" fits "become the prey". Sense 2: "undergo a change or development" example "The water turned into ice" – this is a physical change. Sense 3: "come into existence". Sense 4: "enhance the appearance of" (like "that dress becomes you").

I think sense 1 is the correct one. So the answer is 1.

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of <t>ambitious</t>, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of <t>ambitious</t>, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

We need to determine which sense of "ambitious" is used here, from the provided options:
1. having a strong desire for success or achievement
2. requiring full use of your abilities or resources (example: ambitious schedule)

The word "ambitious" modifies "local politicians or would-be politicians". It describes the politicians themselves. So it's about their personal characteristic: they are ambitious, corrupt, demagogic. That matches sense 1: having a strong desire for success or achievement. Sense 2 is about a task or project that requires full use of abilities (like an ambitious schedule), which doesn't fit describing a person. So the answer is 1.

2. definition=without distinction of one from others | examples=he is interested in snakes in general
3. definition=without regard to specific details or exceptions | examples=he interprets the law broadly

We need to figure out the meaning of "generally" in the sentence. The word "generally" here modifies "corrupt" in the phrase "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic". It means "usually corrupt" or "as a rule corrupt". That matches sense 1: usually; as a rule. Sense 2 is "without distinction" (in general, as opposed to specific). Sense 3 is "broadly" or "without regard to specifics". In this context, "generally corrupt" means they are corrupt most of the time, typical. So sense 1.

Sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally <t>corrupt</t>, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

Senses:
1. lacking in integrity (example: humanity they knew to be corrupt...from the day of Adam's creation)
2. not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive
3. containing errors or alterations (example: a corrupt text)
4. touched by rot or decay (example: tainted bacon)

We need to choose the sense that matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence describes politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic". This refers to moral corruption, dishonesty, lack of integrity. Sense 1 is "lacking in integrity". Sense 2 is "not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive". These are very similar. But the instruction says "Which numbered sense" and we must return only the number. Let's examine the distinctions: Sense 1: lacking in integrity. Sense 2: not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive. Both could apply. However, we need to see if there's a specific nuance. In many dictionaries, "corrupt" for politicians means dishonest, using power for personal gain, lacking integrity. Sense 2 says "not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive". The word "corrupt" in the context of politicians is typically about moral corruption, bribery, etc. I might lean towards sense 1: lacking in integrity, as it's a common definition. But let's see the examples: sense 1 has an example about humanity. Sense 2 has no example. Sense 3 is about texts. Sense 4 is about decay. The sentence is about politicians, so it's moral corruption. I think sense 1 is the primary definition for moral corruption. Sometimes "lacking in integrity" is exactly it. I'll go with 1. But let's double-check: sense 2 says "not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive". That also fits. However, the prompt likely expects us to differentiate. Could they have a specific sense in mind? Possibly they want sense 2 because "dishonest" is explicitly stated. But sense 1 says "lacking in integrity", which is essentially the same. I recall that sometimes these exercises come from a specific dictionary where sense 1 might be "lacking in integrity" and sense 2 "not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive". In context, "corrupt politicians" are those lacking integrity, open to bribery. I'd pick sense 1. But let's think: "lacking in integrity" is a broader moral failing. "Dishonest or immoral or evasive" might also fit. Which one is more precise? The phrase "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic" suggests a moral flaw. I'll select 1. However, sometimes "corrupt" in politics specifically means "dishonest" in the sense of taking bribes. I'll go with 1.

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

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic <t>local</t> politicians or would-be politicians.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area | examples=local taxes
2. definition=of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood | examples=local customs
3. definition=affecting only a restricted part or area of the body | examples=local anesthesia

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'local' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic <t>local</t> politicians or would-be politicians."

We have three senses:
1. relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area | examples=local taxes
2. of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood | examples=local customs
3. affecting only a restricted part or area of the body | examples=local anesthesia

The word "local" in the sentence modifies "politicians". So it's about politicians who are from that particular area (the city or district). The sentence says "Locally elected school boards... become the prey of ... local politicians". The sense here is that these politicians are from the local area, as opposed to state or national politicians. It’s about belonging to or being characteristic of a particular locality. Let's check: Sense 1 is "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area". That could also apply: local politicians are concerned with the administration of a city/town/district. Sense 2 is "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood". Both seem plausible. But we need to pick the most appropriate one. Let's see the examples: Sense 1 gives "local taxes" (taxes administered by a local government). Sense 2 gives "local customs" (customs characteristic of a locality). A "local politician" is a politician who operates at the local level of government, i.e., concerned with the administration of a city or town. The phrase "local politicians" typically means politicians in local government, as opposed to national politicians. That aligns with sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area". The sentence also mentions "Locally elected school boards", which are part of local administration. So sense 1 is about administration. Sense 2 is more about being characteristic of a locality (like local customs, local dialect). A local politician could be a politician from the neighborhood, but the context emphasizes the role in local government (prey of school boards, etc.). I think sense 1 is the correct one because it's specifically about the administration of a city/town/district. The word "local" here contrasts with state or federal politicians. So I'll go with 1.

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local <t>politicians</t> or would-be politicians.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'politician' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local <t>politicians</t> or would-be politicians."

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

We need to pick the one that best fits the context. The sentence describes local politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic". "Demagogic" means appealing to popular prejudices rather than rational argument, often characteristic of a political leader. The phrase "or would-be politicians" suggests these are people seeking power or influence in the local school board context. The word "prey" and the negative adjectives suggest a sense of manipulation and scheming. The third sense, "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways", fits the corrupt and demagogic description, especially since they are preying on school boards (an organization). However, sense 2 "a person active in party politics" might also be plausible since school boards are political. But the emphasis is on their corrupt, demagogic nature and the "prey" metaphor, implying they are exploiting the system for personal gain. The third sense captures that negative, scheming connotation better than the fairly neutral first two senses. Sense 1 is about civil administration, which is true but doesn't emphasize the negative traits. Sense 2 is about party politics; school boards are often non-partisan or local, not necessarily party politics. Given "corrupt" and "demagogic", sense 3 is the most specific and appropriate. The phrasing "prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians" indicates they are schemers trying to gain advantage. Therefore, the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be <t>politicians</t>.

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 are given a sentence and a list of numbered senses for the word "politician". We need to identify which sense is used in the sentence, focusing on the tagged word "<t>politicians</t>".

The sentence: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be <t>politicians</t>."

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

We need to choose the number of the correct sense.

Looking at the sentence: "...local politicians or would-be politicians." The context describes them as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic". This carries a negative connotation, suggesting they are scheming. Sense 3 is "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways". This matches the negative description ("corrupt, demagogic"). Sense 2 is neutral: "a person active in party politics". Sense 1 is also neutral. The word "politician" here is used in a pejorative sense, especially with "ambitious, corrupt, demagogic". Therefore, the sense used is likely 3.

Let's double-check: the phrase "politicians or would-be politicians" in the context of being prey to ambitious, corrupt, demagogic types. The word "politicians" here is not just about being a party member or administrator, but about being a schemer. The sentence is from a larger context (maybe H.L. Mencken or similar) often using "politician" to mean a schemer. So sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Thus, the answer is 3.

5. definition=a natural prolongation or projection from a part of an organism either animal or plant | examples=a bony process
6. definition=a sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states | examples=events now in process

We need to see which sense fits "in the process of trying to disengage". "In the process of" means in the course of doing something, often implying a series of actions or steps. Sense 1: a particular course of action intended to achieve a result. Sense 6: a sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states. The phrase "in the process of" is an idiom meaning "currently engaged in doing something". It often aligns with sense 1. Sense 1's definition: a particular course of action intended to achieve a result. Example: the procedure of obtaining a driver's license. "trying to disengage" is a course of action. Sense 6 mentions "events now in process" as example, but its definition is "a sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states". That might also fit, but "in the process of" as an idiom typically maps to sense 1. Let's check: The phrase "in the process of doing something" is often covered by sense 1: a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. For instance, Oxford defines "process" as "a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end". That matches sense 1: "a particular course of action intended to achieve a result". Sense 6 is more about a continuous and natural phenomenon. The sentence refers to New York's attempt, a deliberate action. So likely sense 1. The examples for 6 are "events now in process", which could be similar, but the core definition "sustained phenomenon" sounds more passive. Sense 1 specifically says "intended to achieve a result" which fits "trying to disengage itself". So answer is 1.

So the answer is 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'system' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this <t>system</t> of school governance, even as Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it."

We need to match the sense of "system" from the given list.

Let's analyze the sentence. "this system of school governance" refers to a particular way of governing schools, a structure or method for running schools. It's about a set of rules, methods, or organizational structure for governance.

Now look at the senses:

1. instrumentality that combines interrelated interacting artifacts designed to work as a coherent entity (physical system like stereo system) - no.
2. a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (e.g., a vast system of production and distribution) - This could be metaphorical for a system of governance, but it's a bit broad.
3. (physical chemistry) a sample of matter... - no.
4. a complex of methods or rules governing behavior - "they have to operate under a system they oppose" - This fits "system of school governance" very well: a system of rules/methods governing how schools are run.
5. an organized structure for arranging or classifying - "he changed the arrangement of the topics" - more about classification.
6. a group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts - no.
7. a procedure or process for obtaining an objective - "they had to devise a system that did not depend on cooperation" - could fit, but "system of school governance" is more about an ongoing set of rules than a one-time procedure.
8. the living body... - no.
9. an ordered manner; orderliness... - no.

Sense 4 specifically mentions "methods or rules governing behavior", with example "operate under a system they oppose". Governance is about governing behavior, rules, methods. So sense 4 is the best match.

Thus answer: 4.

Sentence: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of <t>school</t> governance, even as Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it."

We need to select from the given senses (1 through 7) which one matches the usage of "school" in "school governance". The word "school" here modifies "governance", referring to the system of how schools are governed. It doesn't refer to a specific school building, an institution, a process of being educated, a body of artists, a period of instruction, the faculty/students, or a group of fish. It's referring to "school" as in the educational system, the concept of schools in general. Let's see the definitions:

1. an educational institution (e.g., "the school was founded in 1900") - This is a countable noun referring to a specific institution. In "school governance", "school" is used as a modifier, like "school system", which relates to the general idea of schools, not one specific institution. Sometimes this is treated as an attributive noun. The closest might be "an educational institution" in general, but "school governance" refers to governance of schools collectively. The sense "an educational institution" could be used attributively. Let's check others.

2. a building where young people receive education - that's a specific building, not fitting "school governance".

3. the process of being formally educated at a school - e.g., "finish school" - that's abstract, uncountable. "school governance" doesn't mean governance of the process of being educated. No.

4. a body of creative artists... - irrelevant.

5. the period of instruction... - irrelevant.

6. an educational institution's faculty and students - irrelevant.

7. a large group of fish - irrelevant.

So the only plausible one is 1: "an educational institution". Even though it's used in a compound noun, the base meaning is that it pertains to schools as educational institutions. "school governance" means governance of an educational institution or institutions. Sense 1 is the basic countable institution meaning. So the numbered sense is 1.

1. definition=the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something | examples=he claims that the present administration is corrupt
2. definition=the act of governing; exercising authority | examples=regulations for the governing of state prisons

The word "governance" in the sentence refers to "this system of school governance". A system of school governance could be interpreted as the way schools are governed, i.e., the act or process of governing. Or it could refer to the body that governs. Let's analyze: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance, even as Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it." The phrase "system of school governance" typically means the structure or method by which schools are governed, which aligns with the act of governing or the system of exercising authority. It doesn't refer to the persons themselves, but rather the system. For example, it might refer to mayoral control of schools, or local school boards, etc. "This system of school governance" means the particular arrangement for governing schools. That matches sense 2: "the act of governing; exercising authority". Sense 1 is about the people. So I'll go with 2.

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

We need to determine which sense best matches the usage of "other" in the sentence.

In the sentence, "Chicago and other cities", "other" means additional cities besides Chicago, i.e., not the same as the one already mentioned (Chicago). This corresponds to sense 1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied."

Sense 2: "recently past" (e.g., the other evening) – not applicable.
Sense 3: "belonging to the distant past" – not applicable.
Sense 4: "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected" – not applicable; "other cities" is straightforward, not strange or unusual.

Thus, the correct answer is 1.

Sentence: New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance, even as Chicago and other <t>cities</t> are moving to institute it.

Sentence: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance, even as Chicago and other <t>cities</t> are moving to institute it."

Senses:
1. a large and densely populated urban area; may include several independent administrative districts | examples: Ancient Troy was a great city
2. an incorporated administrative district established by state charter | examples: the city raised the tax rate
3. people living in a large densely populated municipality | examples: the city voted for Republicans in 1994

We need to determine which sense is used for "cities" in the sentence. The word is "cities" and it refers to Chicago and other cities. Chicago is a city. The context is about school governance systems. New York is disengaging from a system, while Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it. Here, "cities" clearly refers to the municipal governments or the administrative entities that can institute a system of school governance. It's not about the population (sense 3: people living there), because "the city voted" is typically a metonymy where "city" stands for its inhabitants. In this sentence, "Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it" – "it" refers to "this system of school governance". This is an action taken by the city government or the school district, which is an administrative entity. So sense 2 ("an incorporated administrative district established by state charter") fits because it's about the city as a legal/governmental entity that can take actions like instituting a system. Also sense 1 is just a general urban area, not necessarily the governmental entity. But "cities" here are acting as agents that institute policies. Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's double-check: Could it be sense 1? Sometimes "city" is used loosely to refer to the urban area. But the action "moving to institute it" implies a decision-making body, i.e., the city government. Sense 2 explicitly defines it as an incorporated administrative district. Sense 3 is clearly about people. So answer is 2.

The sentence: "In <t>most</t> states, increasing expenditures on education, in our current circumstances, will probably make things worse, not better."

Senses provided:
1. definition=(superlative of `many' used with count nouns and often preceded by `the') quantifier meaning the greatest in number | examples=who has the most apples?
2. definition=the superlative of `much' that can be used with mass nouns and is usually preceded by `the'; a quantifier meaning the greatest in amount or extent or degree | examples=made the most money he could

Now, analyze the usage of "most" in the sentence: "most states". Here, "most" is a determiner meaning "the majority of" or "the greatest number of". It is used with a count noun ("states") to indicate a quantity. In sense 1, it says "superlative of 'many' used with count nouns ... quantifier meaning the greatest in number". That fits. Sense 2 refers to mass nouns (much), and the example is about amount/extent/degree. "Most states" clearly refers to number, not amount. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus, the answer is 1.
