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

4. definition=a state of extreme poverty or destitution | examples=their indigence appalled him"

We need to match the sentence's usage of "need" to one of these senses. The sentence says a policy would be a more pressing need. This means the policy is something necessary but lacking. It is not a condition requiring relief (sense 1 is more about an emotional or physical need like affection), not a psychological feature (sense 3), and not extreme poverty (sense 4). Sense 2 is "anything that is necessary but lacking" with example "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs". A policy is something necessary but lacking, so it fits sense 2. Answer: 2.

We are given a sentence: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years." We need to determine which numbered sense of "extend" (from the provided list) matches this usage.

The word in the sentence is "extending". The sentence talks about making the educational system cover or include the pre-kindergarten years, thus broadening its scope. Let's examine the definitions:

1. extend in scope or range or area | example: "The law was extended to all citizens" - This matches the idea of broadening the scope of the educational system to include pre-kindergarten.
2. stretch out over a distance, space, time, or scope; run or extend between two points or beyond a certain point - Not exactly; it's not about spanning a distance.
3. span an interval of distance, space or time - Not specifically spanning an interval, but expanding scope.
4. make available; provide - Not about providing a loan or something.
5. thrust or extend out - Physical.
6. reach outward in space - Physical.
7. offer verbally - No.
8. extend one's limbs - Physical.
9. expand the influence of - Could be similar, but "scope or range or area" is more direct for extending a system.
10. lengthen in time - No, it's not time.
11. extend or stretch out to a greater or the full length - Physical.
12. cause to move at full gallop - No.
13. open or straighten out - Physical.
14. use to the utmost - No.
15. prolong the time allowed for payment - No.
16. continue or extend - Could be, but 1 is more precise.
17. increase in quantity or bulk by adding a cheaper substance - No.

The first sense: "extend in scope or range or area". The example: "The law was extended to all citizens". This parallels "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years", meaning broadening the scope of the educational system. So the correct sense 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: What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the <t>educational</t> system down to the pre-kindergarten years.

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

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years." The word "educational" is marked. We need to choose which sense (1 or 2) is used.

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

In the sentence, "educational system" refers to the system of education, not something that provides knowledge. It's the system that is educational in the sense of being related to the process of education. So sense 1 is correct. The example "educational psychology" is analogous: psychology related to education. Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational <t>system</t> down to the pre-kindergarten years."

Senses provided:
1. instrumentality that combines interrelated interacting artifacts designed to work as a coherent entity (e.g., stereo system)
2. a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (e.g., vast system of production and distribution...)
3. (physical chemistry) a sample of matter...
4. a complex of methods or rules governing behavior (e.g., operate under a system they oppose)
5. an organized structure for arranging or classifying (e.g., arrangement of topics)
6. a group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts (e.g., body system)
7. a procedure or process for obtaining an objective (e.g., devise a system)
8. the living body considered as made up of interdependent components...
9. an ordered manner; orderliness...

The phrase "educational system" refers to the network of institutions, policies, and people that provide education. It is a unified whole made up of many interrelated elements (schools, teachers, curricula, etc.). This aligns with sense 2: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole." The example given: "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going" is similar. Educational system is not an instrumentality (1), not a chemical system (3), not just rules (4), not a classification structure (5), not a body part (6), not a procedure per se (7), not a living body (8), not just orderliness (9). So sense 2 fits best.

Senses:
1. worth having or seeking or achieving
2. worthy of being chosen especially as a spouse

We need to choose the sense that matches the usage. The sentence says "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program..." meaning whether it is desirable (i.e., worth having or seeking) or not. The context is a program: child-care versus educational. "Desirable" here likely means something like "advantageous" or "worth having." The second sense is specifically about being chosen as a spouse, which doesn't fit. So sense 1 is correct. Return 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which sense of "program" is used in the sentence: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care <t>program</t>, not an educational program."

We need to return only the number of the correct sense.

Let's analyze the sentence. It's contrasting "child-care program" with "educational program." These are types of organized services or systems intended to meet a public need (child care and education). Sense 2 is "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" with example "he proposed an elaborate program of public works." Sense 6 is "an integrated course of academic studies" with example "he was admitted to a new program at the university." While "educational program" could fit sense 6, "child-care program" is not an academic course; it's a service. Both "child-care program" and "educational program" as general concepts refer to organized systems of services or projects. Sense 2 seems the best fit because it encompasses broad public services, including child care and education as societal programs.

Let's check the others:
1: series of steps/goals – not really, it's an ongoing service.
3: radio/TV show – no.
4: political party document – no.
5: announcement of events – no.
7: computer science – no.
8: performance – no.

Between 2 and 6, sense 2 is broader and applies to public services like child care. Sense 6 is specifically academic studies. "Educational program" could be sense 6, but the phrase "this is a child-care program, not an educational program" is classifying types of programs, likely in a policy or societal context, meaning a system of services. Therefore, sense 2 is more appropriate.

Thus, the answer is 2.

We need to pick between 1 and 2.

In the sentence: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program." The contrast is between child-care and educational. So they're saying it's for child care, not for education. The phrase "educational program" suggests a program that provides education/knowledge. Sense 2: "providing knowledge" fits an "educational program" that aims to teach something. Sense 1: "relating to the process of education" is more like "educational psychology" which is about the field of education. So here, "educational program" means a program that educates, i.e., provides knowledge. So sense 2.

Answer: 2

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

Sentence: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational <t>program</t>."

We have 8 senses. The key phrase is "child-care program" contrasted with "educational program". Here, "program" is being used in the sense of a system of services or a set of activities intended to meet a need, particularly in a social context. Let's check sense 2: "definition=a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need | examples=he proposed an elaborate program of public works". "Child-care program" fits the idea of services (like daycare, after-school care, etc.). Sense 6 is "an integrated course of academic studies", which would be an educational program, but note that the sentence says "not an educational program", meaning that the "program" we're focusing on is not educational. The highlighted word is the second "program" in the sentence? Actually the sentence has: "this is a child-care program, not an educational <t>program</t>." So the highlighted word is "program" in "educational program". However, the sense of "program" in both "child-care program" and "educational program" is the same overarching sense. The sentence is contrasting it with an educational program, so both are using "program" in the same sense: a system of services or projects (like a social program). Sense 2: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need". This fits child-care program and educational program as public services. Educational program could also be sense 6: "an integrated course of academic studies", but here they say it's not an educational program, meaning it's a child-care program. But what sense does "program" have in this context? A child-care program is a service, not necessarily a course of study. Educational program is also a service/system. Sense 2 says "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need". That fits both child-care and educational programs when they are referred to as public services. It's likely sense 2. But I should also consider if "educational program" could fall under other senses. Sense 6 is specifically "an integrated course of academic studies" like a degree program. A child-care program is definitely not sense 6. The word is used in the phrase "child-care program", so we need to identify the sense of the highlighted word. The highlighted word is the second "program", but it's the same word used twice with the same sense. The sentence says "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program." So we need to assign a sense to the word "program" as it appears in this sentence. The most appropriate sense is 2. I'll return "2".

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "know" matches the usage in the given sentence. The sentence is:

"We <t>know</t> that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

We need to look at the senses provided. The word "know" here is used with a that-clause: "We know that ...". It expresses awareness or possession of knowledge about a fact. Let's examine the senses:

1. definition=be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | examples=I know that the President lied to the people
(Matches: "know" + that-clause, exactly like the example. The sentence says "We know that very early exposure...". This is being aware of a fact.)

2. definition=know how to do or perform something | examples=She knows how to knit (Not a that-clause about a fact; it's about skill.)

3. definition=be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt | examples=I know that I left the key on the table (Also has a that-clause example. Let's differentiate 1 and 3. 1 says "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about". 3 says "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". The example for 3 is "I know that I left the key on the table" – that is still awareness of a fact. We need to see the nuance. Often, sense 1 is the standard "know that" for information. Sense 3 might emphasize belief or acceptance of truth. The sentence is a scientific finding: "We know that very early exposure...". That's knowledge of a fact, not necessarily a belief or faith. It fits the typical "know that" of factual knowledge. I'll go with 1, as it's the most direct: possess knowledge or information about. Sense 3 adds "have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt", which could apply but sense 1 is exactly "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information". The example for 1 is "I know that the President lied to the people", which is structurally identical. So 1 is the best match.)

4. familiarity with a person/object (no)
5. firsthand knowledge of states (no)
6. accept someone's authority (no)
7. have fixed in the mind (like knowing Latin, no)
8. sexual (no)
9. know the nature/character (no)
10. distinguish (no)
11. perceive as familiar (no)

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

We are given a sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away." The word "very" is tagged with <t> tags. We need to choose which numbered sense applies.

Sense 1: "used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | examples=she was very gifted"

Sense 2: "precisely so | examples=on the very next page"

In the sentence, "very early exposure" uses "very" as an intensifier modifying the adjective "early". It means extremely early. So it matches sense 1. Sense 2 is for "very" meaning exact or precise, like "the very next page" meaning exactly the next page. That's not the usage here.

Thus, the answer is 1.

6. definition=expected in the near future | examples=look for an early end to the negotiations

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which sense of "early" (marked with <t>) is used in the sentence: "We know that very <t>early</t> exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

We need to choose from the numbered senses provided.

Let's analyze the usage: "very early exposure to schooling". The word "early" modifies "exposure to schooling". This refers to exposure that happens at a young age, or at an early point in a child's life, before the usual time of schooling perhaps? The context "improves performance in the first grade" suggests the exposure happens before first grade. But which sense matches?

Look at the definitions:
1. at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time (early morning)
2. being or occurring at an early stage of development (in an early stage)
3. belonging to the distant past (the early inhabitants of Europe)
4. very young (at an early age)
5. of an early stage in the development of a language or literature...
6. expected in the near future...

"early exposure to schooling" – "early" here refers to the age of exposure. It means exposure at a young age. Sense 4 is "very young" with the example "at an early age". The phrase "early exposure to schooling" is synonymous with exposure at an early age. Let's confirm: "very early exposure" = exposure at a very early age. The sense "very young" fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about time periods (early morning, early in the century). Sense 2 is about stages of development. While one could argue an early stage of life, "early age" directly gives the sense "very young". The example "at an early age" matches exactly the construction.

Therefore, sense 4.

We need to find the sense that matches "exposure to schooling". "Exposure to schooling" means being subjected to the experience of schooling, or the act of subjecting someone to an influencing experience (schooling). Sense 2 is "the act of subjecting someone to an influencing experience", with example "she denounced the exposure of children to pornography". That fits perfectly: "exposure to schooling" is subjecting children to the influencing experience of schooling.

Thus the answer is 2.

Sense 1 is "the act of teaching at school", which is more about the teacher's action, but here it's exposure to the process of being educated. Sense 3 is about animals. Thus, the correct sense is 2.

I'll output just the number.

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

Sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling <t>improves</t> performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

Senses:
1. definition=to make better | examples=The editor improved the manuscript with his changes
2. definition=get better | examples=The weather improved toward evening

We need to determine whether "improves" here is transitive (to make better) or intransitive (to get better). In the sentence: "very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade." Here, "improves" has an object: "performance." So it means "makes performance better." That's sense 1: to make better. Sense 2 is intransitive (get better), as in "The weather improved." So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: We know that very early exposure to schooling improves <t>performance</t> in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away.

Senses:
1. definition=a dramatic or musical entertainment | examples=they listened to ten different performances
2. definition=the act of presenting a play or a piece of music or other entertainment | examples=we congratulated him on his performance at the rehearsal
3. definition=the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it | examples=they criticised his performance as mayor
4. definition=any recognized accomplishment | examples=they admired his performance under stress
5. definition=process or manner of functioning or operating | examples=the power of its engine determines its operation

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "performance" fits the sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

The word is used in the context of schooling and first grade, referring to how well students do academically. It's not about dramatic or musical entertainment (senses 1, 2). It's about how they perform in school, i.e., their academic achievement or functioning.

Sense 3: "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it" – example: "they criticised his performance as mayor". This could fit: performance in the first grade means doing well in school tasks, using knowledge.

Sense 4: "any recognized accomplishment" – example: "they admired his performance under stress". This also could fit: performance in first grade refers to their accomplishments (grades, learning outcomes).

Sense 5: "process or manner of functioning or operating" – example: "the power of its engine determines its operation". This is more about machines or systems, not typically used for a student's school performance.

Between 3 and 4, "performance in the first grade" is typically used to mean how well students perform academically, which aligns with sense 3: the act of doing something successfully using knowledge. Sense 4 is "any recognized accomplishment", which is slightly different; it's more about a specific deed. In educational contexts, "performance" typically refers to the act of performing academic tasks, or the level of achievement. Dictionary definitions often separate "performance" as the execution of an action (sense 3) versus an accomplishment (sense 4). The example for sense 3 includes "performance as mayor" which is about executing duties. For a student, "performance in the first grade" refers to how they perform academically, which is using knowledge. I think sense 3 is most appropriate. Sense 4 might be less direct. The sentence says "exposure to schooling improves performance" – it's the act of performing academically that improves. So I'll go with

Sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the <t>first</t> grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

Senses provided:
1. definition=preceding all others in time or space or degree | examples=the first house on the right

5. definition=ranking above all others | examples=was first in her class
6. definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano

We need to identify which sense applies to "first" in "first grade". "First grade" refers to the initial grade in elementary school, a specific level in a sequence of grades (first, second, third, etc.). This is "indicating the beginning unit in a series". That matches sense 2.

Sense 2 says "indicating the beginning unit in a series". That is exactly what "first grade" means: it's the first unit in the series of grades.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

Sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first <t>grade</t>, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

Senses provided:
1. a body of students who are taught together | examples=early morning classes are always sleepy
2. a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | examples=lumber of the highest grade

8. a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence
9. a variety of cattle produced by crossbreeding with a superior breed

The phrase is "performance in the first grade". In the context of schooling, "first grade" refers to a specific level in school, often a class or a group of students at that level. Sense 1 says "a body of students who are taught together" with example "early morning classes are always sleepy". However, "first grade" in US education is a specific year/level in elementary school, which refers to the class itself. Sense 1 directly says "a body of students who are taught together". That matches "grade" meaning a class in school. Sense 6 is about marks/performance indicators, but here it's "in the first grade" (location/class), not "she got a grade". So sense 1 is the correct one.

Double-check: "first grade" is a level of schooling, synonymous with "first year class". Sense 1 definition: "a body of students who are taught together". This fits.

Thus answer is 1.

Sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the <t>difference</t> is quickly washed away."

Senses given:

1. the quality of being unlike or dissimilar | examples=there are many differences between jazz and rock
2. a variation that deviates from the standard or norm | examples=the deviation from the mean
3. a disagreement or argument about something important | examples=he had a dispute with his wife
4. a significant change | examples=the difference in her is amazing
5. the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend | examples=(none given, but it's the math definition)

Let's analyze the sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

Here, "difference" refers to a discrepancy or gap in performance between those who had early exposure and those who didn't, or a deviation from some baseline. It means the disparity in performance. It is likely "the quality of being unlike or dissimilar" (sense 1) or "a variation that deviates from the standard or norm" (sense 2). But let's see: sense 1 is "the quality of being unlike or dissimilar", whereas sense 2 is "a variation that deviates from the standard or norm". In context, "the difference" refers to the difference in performance between groups. It's a specific gap. Often "difference" in such contexts means the gap or disparity, which aligns with sense 2 "a variation that deviates from the standard or norm"? Let's see. In statistics, we talk about the difference between means, which is a deviation. But sense 1 is just general dissimilarity.

Let's think: "the difference is quickly washed away" - meaning the advantage or the gap in performance disappears. That's like the difference between two groups (the one with early schooling and the one without). It's not an argument (3), not a significant change in a person (4), not a subtraction number (5). Is it 1 or 2? Sense 1: "the quality of being unlike or dissimilar". The sentence says "the difference is washed away" – it refers to the measurable gap in performance. Usually in social sciences, "difference" in this context means the disparity or gap. I think sense 1 is the most basic sense: "the quality of being unlike or dissimilar". Sense 2 is more about "deviation from the norm". But here it's comparing two groups, so the quality of being dissimilar.
Let's check examples for sense 1: "there are many differences between jazz and rock". This matches the context of comparing two groups. The difference between early exposed and not early exposed. So sense 1.

Sense 2: "a variation that deviates from the standard or norm". The example: "the deviation from the mean". This is more like an individual's deviation from average, not a difference between two groups. The sentence says "the difference is washed away" – meaning the difference between groups. I'd lean towards sense 1.

But wait: in education and economics, "the difference" often refers to the "gap" (achievement gap). "Difference" is a countable noun here: "the difference". It's a specific dissimilarity (sense 1).

Let's double-check: Sense 1: the quality of being unlike or dissimilar. The example: "there are many differences between jazz and rock". This is plural, but it's about points of dissimilarity. In the sentence, it's singular: "the difference", meaning the state of being different, or the amount by which they are different? Both could be sense 1.

I think sense 1 is correct.

Sentence: We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is <t>quickly</t> washed away.

Senses:

We are given a sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is <t>quickly</t> washed away."

We need to determine which sense of "quickly" is being used. The senses:
1. definition=with rapid movements | examples=he works quickly
2. definition=with little or no delay | examples=the rescue squad arrived promptly
3. definition=without taking pains | examples=he looked cursorily through the magazine

In the sentence, "the difference is quickly washed away" means the difference disappears rapidly or soon after. It doesn't imply physical rapid movements, nor does it imply doing something without taking pains (cursorily). It means that after a short amount of time, the difference disappears. So it aligns with sense 2: with little or no delay.

The answer is 2.

The senses:
1. definition=eliminate | examples=wash away all the differences
2. definition=remove by the application of water or other liquid and soap or some other cleaning agent | examples=he washed the dirt from his coat

We need to determine which sense is used. In the sentence, "the difference is quickly washed away" is metaphorical. It means the difference is eliminated or disappears. It does not involve literal water or cleaning agents. Sense 1 matches: eliminate. The example given for sense 1 even uses "wash away all the differences", which is very similar to the sentence. So the answer is 1.

We are given a sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "sum up" is used. The senses are:

1. give a summary (of) | example: he summed up his results
2. be a summary of | example: The abstract summarizes the main ideas in the paper
3. determine the sum of | example: Add all the people in this town to those of the neighboring town

In the sentence, "Let us sum up what we do know..." This is an imperative, asking to give a summary. Sense 1 is "give a summary (of)". Sense 2 is "be a summary of", which is intransitive/static (e.g., this sums up the situation). Here, the phrase is "sum up what we do know", so it's an action of summarizing. Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.

So the answer is 1.

We need to determine which sense of "know" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "Let us sum up what we do <t>know</t> about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."

The word is "know" in the context "what we do know about education and about those education reforms..." Here, "know" means possess knowledge or information about a topic. It's about being aware of facts, information. So it's sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about". The example: "I know that the President lied to the people" aligns with knowing facts. Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt" could also be considered, but the phrasing "what we do know about education" is about collected knowledge/information, not necessarily "truth beyond any doubt". The sentence is summarizing known facts about education reforms. So sense 1 is most fitting. I'll return "1".

We need to determine which sense of "education" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Let us sum up what we do know about <t>education</t> and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- 'Parental involvement' is a bad idea."

We have numbered senses:
1. the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill (e.g., he received no formal education)
2. knowledge acquired by learning and instruction (e.g., it was clear that he had a very broad education)
3. the gradual process of acquiring knowledge (e.g., education is a preparation for life)
4. the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)
5. the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior) (e.g., a woman of breeding and refinement)
6. the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education (created 1979)

We need to choose the sense that matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence talks about "what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work." The phrase "education reforms" refers to reforms in the system or process of education. The word "education" here likely refers to the general field or system of teaching and learning, not specifically the process of acquiring knowledge, nor the knowledge acquired, nor the profession, nor upbringing, nor the federal department. Sense 1 is "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill". That seems to fit: "what we do know about education" meaning the activities/systems of educating. "Education reforms" are reforms to those activities/systems. Sense 3 (gradual process of acquiring knowledge) could also be considered, but "education reforms" typically refer to reforms in the educational system, which is more about the activities of educating. Sense 2 is the knowledge acquired, not the system. Sense 4 is the profession, which is too narrow. Sense 5 is upbringing/social behavior, not relevant. Sense 6 is the federal department, which is a proper noun and would be capitalized, and doesn't fit the context. So sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Thus, answer: 1

Sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those <t>education</t> reforms that do work and do not work: -- 'Parental involvement' is a bad idea."

We need to pick the sense number from the list that matches the usage of "education" in the phrase "education reforms". The word "education" is used as a modifier in "education reforms", meaning reforms related to education. The sense of "education" here is the general concept of the system or process of educating, likely referring to the field of education or the activities of educating. Let's check the senses:

1. the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill. (e.g., he received no formal education) - This refers to the general process or system.
2. knowledge acquired by learning and instruction. (e.g., it was clear that he had a very broad education) - This refers to the knowledge someone has.
3. the gradual process of acquiring knowledge. (e.g., education is a preparation for life) - This is the process.
4. the profession of teaching. - This refers to teaching as a career.
5. the result of good upbringing... - This is about refinement, not relevant.
6. the United States federal department... - Not relevant.

In "education reforms", "education" refers to the system or activities of educating, i.e., sense 1. "Education reforms" means reforms to the educational system or the activities of educating. It fits sense 1: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill". Also note that the sentence talks about "education reforms" that work or do not work, and gives an example: "Parental involvement is a bad idea." This is about policies or practices in education. So sense 1 is the best match.

Could it be sense 3? "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge" - but "education reforms" typically refer to reforms in the system of education, not the process itself. Sense 1 is more about the system/activities. Sense 1 definition explicitly says "activities of educating or instructing", which aligns with the institutional concept.

Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education <t>reforms</t> that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea.

Senses:
1. a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses
2. a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices
3. self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice

We need to pick the sense number. The word is "reforms" in the context "education reforms". It refers to changes in the education system intended to improve it, likely as a result of correcting problems. Sense 1: "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses" seems close. Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices" is about the campaign itself, not the resulting change. In the sentence, they talk about "education reforms that do work and do not work", meaning the changes themselves (the implemented policies or alterations) work or don't work. So it's the result, not the campaign. Sense 1 is a change for the better. Sense 3 is about moral self-improvement, not relevant.

Thus, sense 1 is correct.

I'll return only the number.

So both instances are the same sense? The question says "Which numbered sense of 'work' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below?" So we focus on the first "work" in "do work". The phrase "those education reforms that do work and do not work" means reforms that are successful and those that are not successful. So "work" here means "have the desired effect or outcome". That matches sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought". That's the sense of being effective or successful. Also sense 4: "perform as expected when applied". The washing machine example. But "work" as in reforms that work is about having the desired effect. The distinction: Sense 3 is "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Sense 4 is "perform as expected when applied". The washing machine example is a machine. But reforms are not machines, they are abstract. Sense 3's example is "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought". That's very similar: a process (voting process) working. Education reforms that work: meaning they have the desired effect. So sense 3 seems most appropriate. Let's check all:
1. exert oneself...
2. be employed
3. have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected
4. perform as expected when applied
5. shape...
6. give a workout...
7. proceed along a path...
8. operate in a certain place...
9. proceed towards a goal...
10. move in an agitated manner...
11. cause to happen...
12. cause to work...
13. prepare for crops...
14. behave in a certain way when handled...
15. have and exert influence...
16. operate in or through...
17. cause to operate...
18. provoke or excite...
19. gratify and charm...
20. make something...
21. move into...
22. make uniform...
23. use or manipulate...
24. find the solution...
25. cause to undergo fermentation...
26. go sour...
27. arrive at a certain condition...

So 3 and 4 are close. Sense 4 says "perform as expected when applied" – that could be a machine or a method. Sense 3 says "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". In the context, "education reforms that do work" means they are effective, they have the desired outcome. Both could work, but we need to pick one. The example for 3 is "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" – that's a system/process working. Example for 4 is "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" – that's a machine performing. Reforms are more like a process. So 3 is more fitting. Let's see: "work" in "work and do not work" is intransitive. Sense 3 is intransitive: "have an effect". Sense 4 is also intransitive: "perform as expected". Often in WordNet, sense 4 is a hyponym of sense 3? Actually, the numbering might be from some specific sense inventory. This looks like WordNet senses for "work" as a verb. WordNet 3.0 has:
1. work - exert oneself...
2. work, do work - be employed...
3. work, act - have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected; "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought"; "The medicine works only if you take it with a lot of water"; "This method doesn't work"; "The breaks of my new car act quickly"
4. work, operate, function, go, run - perform as expected when applied; "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in"; "Does this old car still run well?"; "This old radio doesn't work anymore"
In WordNet, sense 3 is about abstract effectiveness, sense 4 is about mechanical functioning. The word "work" in "reforms that work" is clearly sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Example in WordNet for sense 3: "This method doesn't work". Reforms that work = methods that work. So sense 3 is correct.

Thus answer: 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not <t>work</t>: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "work" is used in the sentence, specifically for the word marked with <t>work</t>. The sentence contrasts reforms that "do work" and "do not work". The context is "education reforms that do work and do not work". This means reforms that are effective versus ineffective. So "work" here means to have the desired effect or outcome, to be successful or effective. Looking at the senses:

3. definition=have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected | examples=The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought
4. definition=perform as expected when applied | examples=The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in

We need to distinguish between 3 and 4. Sense 3 is more abstract: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Sense 4 is "perform as expected when applied", typically for mechanical things or methods. The example for 4 is about a washing machine. The sentence is about education reforms, which are not physical objects but abstract ideas/policies. "Reforms that work" means they have the desired effect or outcome. That aligns with sense 3. Also, sense 3 example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" – voting process is an abstract system. So sense 3 is the correct one.

Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied" could also fit some methods, but typically for machines. The definition "perform as expected when applied" might also apply to reforms, but the keyword is "have an effect or outcome". Given the examples, sense 3 is more fitting for abstract concepts like reforms. Let's double-check. In many dictionaries, "work" for methods/plans means to be successful/effective. Sense 3 explicitly says "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". That perfectly matches "reforms that work". Sense 4 is more about functioning (like a machine). The sentence is about whether reforms are effective, not whether they "function" mechanically. So I'll select 3.

Thus, the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "<t>Parental</t> involvement "is a bad idea."

Senses:
1. designating the generation of organisms from which hybrid offspring are produced
2. relating to or characteristic of or befitting a parent | examples=parental guidance

The word "parental" in the sentence is "Parental involvement". It refers to involvement of parents (in education). Sense 2 says "relating to or characteristic of or befitting a parent" with example "parental guidance". That fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about hybrid offspring, which is a biological term, not relevant here.

So answer: 2.

Sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental <t>involvement</t> "is a bad idea."

Senses given:
1. definition=the act of sharing in the activities of a group | examples=the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities
2. definition=a connection of inclusion or containment | examples=he escaped involvement in the accident
3. definition=a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something | examples=an interest in music
4. definition=a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship
5. definition=the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)

We need to decide which sense applies to "Parental involvement". In this context, "parental involvement" likely refers to the participation or engagement of parents in their children's education. So it's about the act of sharing in the activities, which matches sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group". The example given for sense 1 is about student engagement in class activities, analogous to parental involvement in education. Sense 2 is about being included in something like an accident; sense 3 is about curiosity; sense 4 is sexual; sense 5 is about sharing in common. The best fit is 1.

Thus answer: 1.

Sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a <t>bad</t> idea."

We need to pick the sense number from the provided list.

The sentence says: "Parental involvement is a bad idea."

What does "bad" mean here? It means it's not a good idea; it's an idea with undesirable or negative qualities.

Let's check the senses:
1. having undesirable or negative qualities | example: a bad report card
This fits perfectly: a "bad idea" is an idea that has undesirable or negative qualities.

Other senses:
2. very intense (bad headache) - no.
3. feeling physical discomfort - no.
4. not in an edible condition - no.
5. feeling or expressing regret - no.
6. not collectible (debt) - no.
7. below average in quality/performance - could be close, but "bad idea" is more about undesirable qualities than performance/quality below average. Sense 1 is more direct.
8. nonstandard (grammar) - no.
9. not financially safe - no.
10. physically unsound - no.
11. capable of harming - maybe, but sense 1 is the general sense.
12. wickedness/immorality - no.
13. reproduced fraudulently - no.
14. not working properly - no.

Sense 1 is the most straightforward and general sense of "bad" meaning "not good, having negative qualities". So the answer is 1.

Senses provided:

2. your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher

4. an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. (music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

Now, analyze the sentence: "Parental involvement" is a bad idea. Here, "idea" refers to the concept or proposition that parental involvement is a good thing (or a reform). They're saying it's a bad notion, a bad concept. It fits with sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about", example: "it was not a good idea". That's exactly parallel: "it was not a good idea" -> "Parental involvement is a bad idea." So sense 1 is the correct one. Sense 2 is about intention, not relevant. Sense 3 is about a personal view like "he has an idea that we don't like him" (a belief or suspicion), not quite. Sense 4 is estimate. Sense 5 is music. So answer is 1.

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

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits | examples=too big
2. definition=in addition | examples=he has a Mercedes, too

We need to determine if "too" means sense 1 (excessively) or sense 2 (also). In the sentence, "too likely" means "excessively likely" or "more likely than is proper or normal." It is not adding information ("in addition"). So sense 1 is correct. Hence return "1".

4. definition=within the realm of credibility | examples=not a very likely excuse

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "likely" is used in the sentence: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

The senses provided are:

1. definition=has a good chance of being the case or of coming about | examples=these services are likely to be available to us all before long
2. definition=likely but not certain to be or become true or real | examples=a likely result
3. definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | examples=potential clients
4. definition=within the realm of credibility | examples=not a very likely excuse

We need to match the usage. The sentence uses "likely" in the construction "too likely to blame schools". This is a common pattern: "likely to do something". The meaning here is "has a good chance of doing something" or "probable". It's an adjective describing the probability that parents will blame schools.

Let's check each sense:
Sense 1: "has a good chance of being the case or of coming about" – this fits "likely to blame" (they have a good chance of blaming). The example "these services are likely to be available..." is very similar in structure.
Sense 2: "likely but not certain to be or become true or real" – this is similar, but it's defined as a synonym of "probable". In the sentence, "likely" is used as an adjective complement with an infinitive, not just "a likely result" (attributive). Sense 2 is more of an attributive usage? The definition says "likely but not certain..." This is essentially the same as sense 1, but the example "a likely result" is attributive. Often, dictionaries might separate predicative vs attributive uses. In the sentence, it's predicative: "Parents are too likely to blame..." The structure is "be likely to do something", which matches sense 1 better because sense 1's example shows "are likely to be available". Sense 2's example is "a likely result" (attributive).
Sense 3: "expected to become or be; in prospect" – example "potential clients". This seems to define "potential" rather than "likely"? The word "likely" can mean "expected to become or be", but the example "potential clients" doesn't even use "likely". It might be a sense that is more like "promising" (e.g., "a likely candidate"). But here it's "too likely to blame", which is probability, not "promising".
Sense 4: "within the realm of credibility" – example "not a very likely excuse". This means plausible. Is "too likely to blame" meaning "too plausible"? Not really. It means they have a high probability of blaming, not that the excuse is credible. So not sense 4.

Thus, the most appropriate sense is 1, which matches the predicative use with an infinitive. Sense 2 is similar but attributive. However, sense 2 definition says "likely but not certain to be or become true or real" and example "a likely result" – that could also be interpreted as the same probability. The difference between sense 1 and sense 2 is often that sense 1 is used in predicative positions (likely to do something) and sense 2 is attributive. The sentence uses it predicatively: "are too likely to blame". So sense 1 is the direct match.

Return only the number: 1.

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

Senses:
1. definition=put or pin the blame on
2. definition=harass with constant criticism | examples=Don't always pick on your little brother
3. definition=attribute responsibility to | examples=We blamed the accident on her

We need to pick the correct sense number.

Analyze the sentence: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children." This means parents hold schools responsible for the limitations. They are placing blame on the schools.

Sense 1: "put or pin the blame on" – This directly matches: putting the blame on schools.
Sense 2: "harass with constant criticism" – That's more like "pick on", not just blaming.
Sense 3: "attribute responsibility to" – Also seems plausible, but note the example: "We blamed the accident on her" (preposition "on"). Here the sentence is "blame schools for the limitations", which uses "blame [someone] for [something]". This is equivalent to "put the blame on [someone] for [something]". Both sense 1 and 3 might seem similar, but typically "blame" in "blame someone for something" is sense 1. Sense 3 is often used in constructions like "blame something on someone". The sentence structure: "blame schools for ..." aligns with "put or pin the blame on".

The distinction: Sense 1 is transitive with the object being the person/entity blamed: "blame schools". Sense 3's example is "blamed the accident on her", where the object is the thing (accident) and the person is after "on". The sentence says "blame schools" (schools is the direct object of blame). So it matches sense 1: put or pin the blame on (someone). Sense 3 is attribute responsibility to, with example "blamed the accident on her" – object is "accident". So the usage here matches sense 1.

Thus the answer is 1.

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

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

We are given 7 senses with definitions and examples. The word in the sentence is "schools", plural. We need to see which sense matches the usage.

Let's analyze the sentence: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children." Here, "schools" refers to the institutions that provide education. Parents blame these institutions. It's not about the building, the process, a group of artists, the period of instruction, the faculty and students as a collective, or a group of fish. It's about the educational institutions themselves.

Sense 1: "an educational institution", example: "the school was founded in 1900". This fits "schools" as institutions. Sense 2 is "a building where young people receive education", but the sentence is not specifically blaming the physical buildings; it's blaming the institutions. Sense 6 is "an educational institution's faculty and students", but the blame is likely on the institution as a whole, not just the people. However, sense 1 is explicitly "an educational institution". Sense 6 is "the school keeps parents informed" – that implies the institution as a collective of people. But the primary sense for an institution is 1. Let's check the example for 1: "the school was founded in 1900" – institution. In the sentence, "blame schools" – blame the institutions. So sense 1 is correct.

Let's double-check: Could it be sense 6? "the school keeps parents informed" – that uses "school" to mean the faculty and students. But "blame schools" is more general, blaming the institution as an entity. Usually, when we say "blame schools", we mean the educational system/institutions. Sense 1 is the most direct.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

We need to match this usage to one of the provided senses:

1. a principle that limits the extent of something | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements
2. the quality of being limited or restricted | examples=it is a good plan but it has serious limitations
3. the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed | examples=there are limits on the amount you can bet
4. (law) a time period after which suits cannot be brought | examples=statute of limitations
5. an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)

In the sentence, "educational limitations" refers to the limitations that the children have in their education. It is a state of being limited, not a principle, not a maximum amount, not a legal time period, not an act of limiting. It's about the quality of being limited or restricted in their education. Sense 2 fits: "the quality of being limited or restricted" with example "it is a good plan but it has serious limitations." Here, "educational limitations" means the children have serious limitations in education. So answer is 2.
