We are given a sentence: "It is generally desirable to use older textbooks -- many of them, alas, out of print -- rather than newer ones."

We need to identify which sense of "new" is used for the word "newer". The senses are numbered 1 through 11 with definitions and examples.

Let's analyze the sentence. The sentence compares "older textbooks" to "newer ones". The context is about textbooks. The older textbooks are desirable, implying that newer ones are less desirable? The word "newer" here means more recently published or produced. Let's check the senses:

1. definition=not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered | examples=a new law
This fits: newer textbooks are those that have recently come into being (published). "newer ones" means textbooks that are more recently made.

2. original and of a kind not seen before - "newer" here doesn't necessarily mean original; it might just mean recently published, not necessarily novel in content.

3. lacking training or experience - not applicable to textbooks.

4. having no previous example or precedent - not necessarily.

5. other than the former one(s); different - "newer ones" could imply different textbooks, but the primary meaning is more recent. In the context, it's contrasting old vs. new in terms of age, not just different. Sense 5 example: "they now have a new leaders" means different leaders. Here "older textbooks" vs "newer ones" is about age, not just replacement. So sense 1 is more appropriate.

6. unaffected by use or exposure - "newer" books might be in better condition, but the context is about desirability of older textbooks, likely because of their content, not their physical condition. It says "out of print", which indicates age of edition, not condition.

7. newfangled - gratuitously new; not likely.

8. in use after medieval times; specific to historical periods like New Egyptian, not applicable.

9. used of a living language; current stage; not applicable.

10. harvested early; crops; not applicable.

11. unfamiliar? Wait, there is no 11? The list goes up to 10. Wait, the prompt says senses 1 to 11 but I only see up to 10 in the text:
Senses:
1. definition=not of long duration...
2. original and of a kind not seen before...
3. lacking training...
4. having no previous example...
5. other than the former one(s)...
6. unaffected by use...
7. (of a new kind or fashion) gratuitously new...
8. in use after medieval times...
9. used of a living language...
10. (of crops) harvested at an early stage...
Wait, no 11? The user's message says "Which numbered sense of "new" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense." And lists 1 through 11 but only 1-10 are listed. Maybe I misread: the user listed up to 10. There's no 11? Let me recount:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Yes, only 10 senses. That's fine.

Sense 1 seems the most direct: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired". Newer textbooks = textbooks that have been made more recently. So the answer is 1.

I'll output "1".

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

Sentence: -- It is generally desirable to use older textbooks -- many of them, alas, out of print -- rather than newer <t>ones</t>.

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

Sentence: "-- It is generally desirable to use older textbooks -- many of them, alas, out of print -- rather than newer <t>ones</t>."

Senses:
1. definition=the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number | examples=he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it
2. definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one

We need to pick the sense that matches "ones" in the sentence. In the sentence, "ones" is a pronoun replacing "textbooks". It means "textbooks" in the phrase "newer ones". So it is a single thing, but plural "ones". The sense 2 is "a single person or thing", and the example "he is the best one" shows a singular "one" referring to a person. But "ones" is the plural of "one" used as a pronoun meaning a thing of a particular type. The definition "a single person or thing" is for the noun "one" as a pronoun referring to a person or thing. In the sentence, "ones" refers to things (textbooks). It is not the number sense (sense 1). So sense 2 fits: a single person or thing, even though it's plural "ones", the base sense is the pronoun meaning "a thing" (or person). The examples given: "he is the best one" shows singular. The sentence uses plural "ones", which is derived from this sense. The question is asking for the numbered sense. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The latter are modish, trendy, <t>often</t> downright silly, and at best insubstantial.

Senses:
1. definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee
2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much
3. definition=in many cases or instances

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "The latter are modish, trendy, <t>often</t> downright silly, and at best insubstantial."

We need to determine which numbered sense of "often" is used. Senses:

1. many times at short intervals (we often met over a cup of coffee)
2. frequently or in great quantities (I don't drink much) — wait, example for 2 is "I don't drink much"? That seems odd. "Often" in sense 2 is "frequently or in great quantities". Example: "I don't drink much" - probably a mistake? Maybe the example is for "often"? Actually, the user provided definitions and examples. Sense 2: definition=frequently or in great quantities, examples=I don't drink much. That doesn't seem to match "often". But we must work with what's given.
3. in many cases or instances (no example provided? It just says "examples=" but empty? Actually, in the prompt: "3. definition=in many cases or instances | examples=" maybe empty)

Let's analyze the sentence: "The latter are modish, trendy, <t>often</t> downright silly, and at best insubstantial." Here "often" modifies "downright silly". It means "in many cases, the latter are downright silly". This is not about frequency of occurrence in time (many times) but "in many instances" or "in many cases". This corresponds to sense 3: "in many cases or instances". Sense 1 is "many times at short intervals", which implies repeated occurrences over time. Sense 2 seems odd but "frequently or in great quantities" might also refer to frequency. The sentence is about a characteristic: "The latter are ... often downright silly" meaning it is often the case that they are silly. That's sense 3.

So the answer should be 3.

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

Sentence: They are based on <t>dubious</t> psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience.

Senses:
1. definition=fraught with uncertainty or doubt | examples=they were doubtful that the cord would hold

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

Sentence: "They are based on <t>dubious</t> psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience."

Senses:
1. definition=fraught with uncertainty or doubt | examples=they were doubtful that the cord would hold
2. definition=open to doubt or suspicion; ; ; ; - Karen Horney | examples=the candidate's doubtful past
3. definition=not convinced | examples=they admitted the force of my argument but remained dubious

We need to determine which sense of "dubious" is used. The sentence says the theories are "dubious", meaning they are questionable, open to doubt, not reliable. That matches sense 2: "open to doubt or suspicion". Sense 1 is "fraught with uncertainty or doubt" but the example is "they were doubtful that the cord would hold" which seems to describe a person's feeling of uncertainty. However, sense 1's definition could apply to things as well. But note the examples: for sense 1, example is about people being doubtful. Sense 2 explicitly says "open to doubt or suspicion" and the example is "the candidate's doubtful past" – so it's about something being questionable. The sentence applies "dubious" to theories, so it's the theories that are open to doubt, not a person feeling uncertain. Sense 3 is about people not being convinced. So the correct sense is 2.

Thus, the answer is 2.

Senses given:
1. definition=mental or emotional as opposed to physical in nature | examples=give psychological support
2. definition=of or relating to or determined by psychology | examples=psychological theories

We need to pick the correct sense. The sentence says "dubious psychological and sociological theories". This is clearly referring to theories that come from the field of psychology. The example for sense 2 is "psychological theories", exactly matching. Sense 1 is about mental/emotional support vs physical. So sense 2 is correct. Return "2".

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

Sentence: They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories <t>rather</t> than on educational experience.

2. definition=to some (great or small) extent | examples=it was rather cold
3. definition=more readily or willingly | examples=clean it well, preferably with warm water
4. definition=to a degree (not used with a negative) | examples=quite tasty

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

Sentence: "They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories <t>rather</t> than on educational experience."

Senses provided:
1. definition=on the contrary | examples=rather than disappoint the children, he did two quick tricks before he left
2. definition=to some (great or small) extent | examples=it was rather cold
3. definition=more readily or willingly | examples=clean it well, preferably with warm water
4. definition=to a degree (not used with a negative) | examples=quite tasty

We need to identify which sense matches the usage of "rather" in the sentence. The sentence has "rather than" which means "and not" or "instead of". It's used to indicate a preference or a correction, saying that they are based on X instead of Y.

Looking at the senses:
1. "on the contrary" with example "rather than disappoint the children, he did two quick tricks before he left". This "rather than" introduces a contrasting alternative that is avoided or preferred. It fits: "rather than" is used to contrast two things, saying one is true and the other is not. The definition "on the contrary" is close to the meaning of "rather" when used in "rather than" to mean "instead of" or "and not".

2. "to some extent" – "rather cold" means somewhat cold. Doesn't fit.

3. "more readily or willingly" – "preferably" – example "clean it well, preferably with warm water". This sense of "rather" is often used as in "I'd rather" (prefer). It can be related to "rather than" meaning preference. But the sentence is not expressing a preference; it's stating a fact that they are based on X and not Y. It's more contrastive than expressing willingness.

4. "to a degree (not used with a negative) quite tasty" – doesn't fit.

The phrase "rather than" in the sentence is used to mean "and not" or "instead of", which is a common use of "rather" to indicate a contrasting fact. In many dictionaries, "rather than" is defined as "instead of; used especially when you prefer one thing to another". But sense 1 says "on the contrary" with the example "rather than disappoint the children, he did two quick tricks before he left". That example shows "rather than" used to introduce something that is avoided. The meaning is similar to "instead of". The sentence "They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience" means they are based on theories and not on experience. It's not about preference but about fact. However, "rather than" is often classified under "on the contrary" or "and not". Let's check the exact wording. Sense 1: definition=on the contrary, examples=rather than disappoint the children, he did two quick tricks before he left. That's exactly a "rather than" construction. The "rather than" here means "instead of". So sense 1 fits. Sense 3 is "more readily or willingly", which is the preference sense, e.g., "I would rather go home". Here, "rather" is not used with "would" to express preference; it's "rather than" meaning "instead of". So 1 is correct.

Thus, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on <t>educational</t> experience.

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

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

Sentence: "They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on <t>educational</t> experience."

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

We need to pick which sense fits the word "educational" in that sentence.

The sentence contrasts "dubious psychological and sociological theories" with "educational experience". Here, "educational experience" means experience in the field of education (the process or system of teaching/learning). It's not about an experience that provides knowledge to someone; it's about practical experience in education as a profession or domain. So it's relating to the process of education, not "providing knowledge". Sense 1: "relating to the process of education" fits better.

Thus answer: 1.

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

Sentence: They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational <t>experience</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities | examples=a man of experience
2. definition=the content of direct observation or participation in an event | examples=he had a religious experience
3. definition=an event as apprehended | examples=a surprising experience

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which sense of "experience" is used in the sentence: "They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational <t>experience</t>."

We have three numbered senses:
1. the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities (e.g., "a man of experience")
2. the content of direct observation or participation in an event (e.g., "he had a religious experience")
3. an event as apprehended (e.g., "a surprising experience")

The sentence contrasts "dubious psychological and sociological theories" with "educational experience". The phrase "educational experience" here likely refers to practical knowledge or skill gained through education, not a specific event. The word "experience" in this context means the knowledge or skill acquired over time, which matches sense 1. Sense 2 is about a specific experience's content, like "a religious experience". Sense 3 is about the event itself as apprehended. The sentence is speaking broadly about basing something on theories rather than on practical experience in education. So it's sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: One of the <t>reasons</t> American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods.

Senses:
1. definition=a rational motive for a belief or action | examples=the reason that war was declared
2. definition=an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon | examples=the reason a steady state was never reached was that the back pressure built up too slowly

4. definition=the state of having good sense and sound judgment | examples=his rationality may have been impaired

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

Sentence: One of the <t>reasons</t> American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math" on American textbooks and teaching methods.

We need to match the usage of "reason" in the sentence to one of the given senses.

Senses:
1. a rational motive for a belief or action | example: the reason that war was declared
2. an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon | example: the reason a steady state was never reached was that the back pressure built up too slowly
3. the capacity for rational thought or inference or discrimination | example: we are told that man is endowed with reason and capable of distinguishing good from evil
4. the state of having good sense and sound judgment | example: his rationality may have been impaired
5. a justification for something existing or happening | example: he had no cause to complain
6. a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion | example: there is reason to believe he is lying

In the sentence, "reasons" refers to the cause or explanation for why American students do poorly. It's an explanation of the cause of a phenomenon. The sentence structure: "One of the reasons ... is the influence of the 'New Math'..." This is giving a cause. Let's see if it matches sense 2: "an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon". The example given: "the reason a steady state was never reached was that the back pressure built up too slowly" is exactly parallel: "the reason [phenomenon] was that [cause]". So sense 2 is a perfect match.

Sense 1: "a rational motive for a belief or action" – that's more about someone's reasoning for doing something, like a motive. Not quite the same as a cause for a phenomenon like test scores.

Sense 5: "a justification for something existing or happening" – justification implies a reason that justifies, often moral or logical, but here it's simply a causal explanation, not necessarily a justification.

Sense 6: "a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion" – again, justification, not just a cause.

Thus, sense 2 fits best.

The answer is

9. definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result | examples=therefore X must be true
10. definition=in truth (often tends to intensify) | examples=they said the car would break down and indeed it did

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods."

The word "so" is marked with <t> tags. We need to choose which numbered sense (1-10) applies.

Let's analyze how "so" is used here. "do so poorly" means "perform to such a great extent poorly" or "perform very poorly". It's an intensifier, meaning "to a very great extent". Let's check the senses:

1. definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious
This matches: "so poorly" = very poorly, to a great extent poorly.

2. definition=in a manner that facilitates | examples=he observed the snakes so he could describe their behavior
This is "so" meaning "in order that", not applicable.

3. definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied | examples=They're happy and I hope they will remain so
"That's the case" meaning. Not applicable.

4. definition=to a certain unspecified extent or degree | examples=I can only go so far with this student
This is "so far" as a limit, not an intensifier.

5. definition=in the same way; also | examples=I was offended and so was he
Not applicable.

6. definition=in the way indicated; ; ; (`thusly' is a nonstandard variant) | examples=hold the brush so
Meaning "like this". Not applicable.

7. definition=(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed | examples=he was so tired he could hardly stand
This is "so... that" construction. Here there is no "that" clause following. It's just "do so poorly". But note that sense 1 is "to a very great extent or degree" with example "the idea is so obvious" (which also doesn't have a "that" clause). Sense 7 is explicitly with "that". I think sense 1 is more appropriate for the intensifier use without a result clause. "so poorly" = very poorly.

8, 9, 10: clearly not.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'compare' ... is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as <t>compared</t> with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods."

We have 4 senses with definitions and examples.

Sense 1: examine and note the similarities or differences of (example: John compared his haircut to his friend's)

Sense 2: be comparable (example: This car does not compare with our line of Mercedes)

Sense 3: consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous (example: We can compare the Han dynasty to the Romans)

Sense 4: to form the comparative or superlative form on an adjective or adverb

In the sentence, "as compared with" is a phrase meaning "in comparison with". The sense here is "be comparable" because it's saying American students are compared with others in terms of performance, i.e., how they stack up. "as compared with" typically uses the "be comparable" sense (sense 2). The phrase doesn't mean examining similarities/differences (sense 1), nor considering as similar (sense 3), nor grammar (sense 4). The example for sense 2: "This car does not compare with our line of Mercedes" uses "compare with" meaning "be comparable". "as compared with" fits that sense.

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

2. definition=a learned person (especially in the humanities); someone who by long study has gained mastery in one or more disciplines"

We need to select the correct sense for the word "students" as marked by <t>students</t> in the sentence. The sentence is comparing American students with British, French, German or Japanese students in the context of math tests. This clearly refers to students in the educational system, i.e., learners enrolled in educational institutions, not learned persons/scholars. So sense 1 is correct. The answer should be just the number: 1.

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

Sentence: One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the <t>influence</t> of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods.

Senses:
1. definition=a power to affect persons or events especially power based on prestige etc | examples=used her parents' influence to get the job
2. definition=causing something without any direct or apparent effort
3. definition=a cognitive factor that tends to have an effect on what you do | examples=her wishes had a great influence on his thinking

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

Sentence: "One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the <t>influence</t> of the 'New Math' on American textbooks and teaching methods."

Senses:
1. definition=a power to affect persons or events especially power based on prestige etc | examples=used her parents' influence to get the job

4. definition=the effect of one thing (or person) on another | examples=the influence of mechanical action
5. definition=one having power to influence another | examples=she was the most important influence in my life

We need to select the sense that matches the usage: "the influence of the 'New Math' on American textbooks and teaching methods". Here "influence" means the effect that the "New Math" (a movement or approach) had on textbooks and teaching methods. It's about how one thing affects another. Sense 4: "the effect of one thing (or person) on another" fits perfectly. The example: "the influence of mechanical action". So answer is 4.

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

Sentence: One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on <t>American</t> textbooks and teaching methods.

The word in context is "American textbooks" (the <t> tags are around the word "American"). The sentence compares American students with British, French, German, or Japanese students. This clearly refers to the United States of America, not the continents of the Americas. Therefore, sense 1 is correct: "of or relating to the United States of America or its people or language or culture". Sense 2 is about the Americas (North and South America). So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Anyone who <t>wants</t> to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator.

Senses:
1. definition=feel or have a desire for; want strongly | examples=I want to go home now
2. definition=have need of | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner
3. definition=hunt or look for; want for a particular reason | examples=Your former neighbor is wanted by the FBI
4. definition=wish or demand the presence of | examples=I want you here at noon!
5. definition=be without, lack; be deficient in | examples=want courtesy

reasoning_content:
We are tasked with identifying which numbered sense of "want" corresponds to the usage in the given sentence. The senses are:

1. feel or have a desire for; want strongly (e.g., "I want to go home now")
2. have need of (e.g., "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner")
3. hunt or look for; want for a particular reason (e.g., "Your former neighbor is wanted by the FBI")
4. wish or demand the presence of (e.g., "I want you here at noon!")
5. be without, lack; be deficient in (e.g., "want courtesy")

Sentence: "Anyone who <t>wants</t> to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

The phrase is "Anyone who wants to appreciate...". Here, "wants" is followed by an infinitive ("to appreciate"). It expresses a desire or wish to do something. That matches sense 1: feel or have a desire for; want strongly. Example: "I want to go home now" follows the same structure (want + to-infinitive).

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

3. hold dear | example: I prize these old photographs
4. gain in value | example: The yen appreciated again!
5. increase the value of | example: The Germans want to appreciate the Deutsche Mark

The sentence talks about wanting to "appreciate just how bizarre this situation is". That means to fully understand or realize how bizarre it is. So sense 2: "be fully aware of; realize fully" fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about gratitude, sense 3 about holding dear, senses 4 and 5 about monetary value. So the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Anyone who wants to appreciate <t>just</t> how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator.

Senses:

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

Sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate <t>just</t> how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

We need to match the usage of "just" in the sentence to one of the provided senses.

Let's look at the sentence: "appreciate just how bizarre this situation is". Here, "just" modifies "how bizarre". It means something like "exactly" or "truly". Or possibly it means "simply" or "merely"? Let's see the senses:

1. definition=and nothing more | examples=I was merely asking
2. definition=indicating exactness or preciseness | examples=he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do
3. definition=only a moment ago | examples=he has just arrived
4. definition=absolutely | examples=I just can't take it anymore
5. definition=only a very short time before; ; ; ; ; - W.B.Yeats | examples=they could barely hear the speaker
6. definition=exactly at this moment or the moment described | examples=we've just finished painting the walls, so don't touch them

The phrase "appreciate just how bizarre" uses "just" to emphasize the degree or extent. It means "appreciate exactly how bizarre" or "truly how bizarre". It indicates exactness or preciseness. So sense 2: "indicating exactness or preciseness" with example "he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do" fits. "Appreciate just how bizarre" = appreciate precisely how bizarre.

Note that sense 4 is "absolutely" with example "I just can't take it anymore". That is also an intensifier, but here "just" is used before a question-word clause ("how bizarre"), which is a specific construction meaning "exactly". For example, "I don't know just how many people came." It's about exactness.

Thus, answer is 2.

Sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this <t>situation</t> is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

We need to match the meaning of "situation" in this context to one of the provided senses.

Senses:
1. the general state of things; the combination of circumstances at a given time
2. a condition or position in which you find yourself
3. a complex or critical or unusual difficulty
4. physical position in relation to the surroundings
5. a job in an organization

Look at the sentence. The phrase "how bizarre this situation is" refers to a scenario described: students who cannot add or subtract are learning the conceptual basis of mathematical theory. This is a specific set of circumstances or a state of affairs, not a personal condition (sense 2), a difficulty (3), physical position (4), or job (5). It's a combination of circumstances at a given time, a general state of things. The sentence calls it a "situation" and describes it as bizarre. It's an abstract state of affairs in education. So sense 1 is the best fit.

But let's double-check: sense 1: "the general state of things; the combination of circumstances at a given time". Yes, "this situation is" points to a state of affairs. Sense 3: "a complex or critical or unusual difficulty". It is bizarre, so maybe it's a difficulty? However, the word "situation" itself in this context refers to the state of affairs, not inherently a "difficulty". Sense 1 is broader and more fitting. In fact, "situation" often just means a set of circumstances. I'll go with 1.

2. definition=a learned person (especially in the humanities); someone who by long study has gained mastery in one or more disciplines

We need to determine which sense fits. The sentence says: "with students who cannot add or subtract 'learning' the conceptual basis of mathematical theory". The word "students" here refers to people who are supposed to be learning, but they can't do basic arithmetic, yet they are "learning" advanced concepts. They are clearly learners enrolled in an educational institution (likely school). The context does not indicate they are learned persons with mastery; rather, they are students lacking basic skills. So sense 1 is the correct one.

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

Sentence: Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not <t>add</t> or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator.

Senses:
1. definition=make an addition (to); join or combine or unite with others; increase the quality, quantity, size or scope of | examples=We added two students to that dorm room
2. definition=state or say further | examples=`It doesn't matter,' he supplied

6. definition=constitute an addition | examples=This paper will add to her reputation

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

Sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not <t>add</t> or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

The word is "add" inside <t> tags. The context: "students who cannot add or subtract". This is about basic arithmetic operations: adding and subtracting numbers. This corresponds to sense 4 or 5.

Let's examine the senses:

1. make an addition; join or combine... (general)
2. state or say further
3. bestow a quality on
4. make an addition by combining numbers | example: "Add 27 and 49, please!"
5. determine the sum of | example: "Add all the people in this town to those of the neighboring town"
6. constitute an addition | example: "This paper will add to her reputation"

"Add" in "cannot add or subtract" clearly means the basic arithmetic operation. Both 4 and 5 are about arithmetic. Sense 4: "make an addition by combining numbers". Sense 5: "determine the sum of". The phrase "add or subtract" is typically about performing addition. In elementary education, "add" means to combine numbers. Sense 5 is broader, "determine the sum of", which might include counting. But typically "add" in the arithmetic sense is covered by both. Which one is more precise? Often, "add" as a basic math operation is sense 4: make an addition by combining numbers. The example for 4 is "Add 27 and 49, please!" That's exactly the arithmetic operation. Sense 5 says "determine the sum of". They are very similar. In many dictionaries, the arithmetic sense is simply "perform addition". I'd lean towards sense 4. "Add or subtract" -> arithmetic operations. Let's check if there's any nuance. Sense 4: "make an addition by combining numbers". Sense 5: "determine the sum of". Both fit. But "add" in "add or subtract" is the act of adding numbers. I think 4 is the most direct. I'll output 4.

But let's double-check. The sentence has "students who cannot add or subtract". It implies they lack basic arithmetic skills. That's sense 4 (or 5). Typically, WordNet or similar sense inventories have "add" as in arithmetic. WordNet senses for "add" verb:
1. add (make an addition by combining numbers) "Add 27 and 49, please!"
2. add, append, supply (state or say further) "`It doesn't matter,' he supplied"
3. add, add together (make an addition to; join or combine...)
Wait, the given senses:
1: make an addition (to); join or combine...
2: state or say further
3: bestow a quality on
4: make an addition by combining numbers
5: determine the sum of
6: constitute an addition

In WordNet, "add" has multiple senses. The arithmetic sense is "make an addition by combining numbers" or "determine the sum of". "Add 2 and 2" is the example. So both 4 and 5 are arithmetic. Which one is more specific to "add" as a basic skill? "Add or subtract" refers to the operation itself, not necessarily determining the sum. I'd say 4 is the core arithmetic operation. Sense 5 is "Add all the people in this town to those of the neighboring town" which is more like summing up totals. But "cannot add" means they can't do the basic operation of adding numbers. I think 4 is the best match.

Thus, answer: 4.

The sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract 'learning' the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

The word in question is "subtract" within the phrase "add or subtract". The senses given:
1. definition=make a subtraction | examples=subtract this amount from my paycheck
2. definition=take off or away | examples=this prefix was subtracted when the word was borrowed from French

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage. In "add or subtract", it refers to basic arithmetic operations: addition and subtraction. That's mathematical subtraction. Sense 1 is "make a subtraction" (mathematical operation). Sense 2 is "take off or away" in a more general sense, like removing something (prefix subtracted). The context: "students who can not add or subtract" clearly means they cannot perform basic arithmetic. So it's mathematical subtraction. That's sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who can not add or subtract "<t>learning</t>" the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

We need to identify the sense of "learning" in the context: "students who cannot add or subtract learning the conceptual basis of mathematical theory". Actually, the phrase is: "with students who can not add or subtract 'learning' the conceptual basis of mathematical theory". Wait, the sentence has quotes around learning? The text says: "with students who can not add or subtract "<t>learning</t>" the conceptual basis of mathematical theory". This is a bit confusing. Let me parse: The students cannot add or subtract, but they are "learning" the conceptual basis? It might be ironic: they are learning conceptual math but can't do basic arithmetic. The verb "learning" here is used in the sense of "gaining knowledge or skills". Specifically, they are being taught or studying the conceptual basis. But we have to choose among the given senses.

Senses:
1. gain knowledge or skills (e.g., She learned dancing from her sister)
2. get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally (e.g., I learned that she has two grown-up children)
3. commit to memory; learn by heart (e.g., Have you memorized your lines for the play yet?)
4. be a student of a certain subject (e.g., She is reading for the bar exam)
5. impart skills or knowledge to (e.g., I taught them French) [Wait, this is "teach", but the sense is listed under "learn"? Possibly this is a misassignment, but sense 5 says "impart skills or knowledge to", but the example is "I taught them French". That might be a mistake, but we follow the given senses.]
6. find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort (e.g., I want to see whether she speaks French)

In the sentence: "students who cannot add or subtract 'learning' the conceptual basis of mathematical theory". The word "learning" is in quotes, perhaps indicating it's being used ironically. But the meaning: they are learning (i.e., studying, being taught) the conceptual basis. It's not accidental (sense 2), not memorizing (sense 3), not "be a student of" (sense 4 is "be a student of a certain subject", but the structure "learning the conceptual basis" is a direct object, not "learning a subject" as an intransitive or with subject? Sense 4 example: "She is reading for the bar exam" - that doesn't match "learning". Sense 5 is impart skills, which means teach, but "learning" doesn't mean teach. Sense 6 is find out.

Sense 1: gain knowledge or skills. This fits perfectly: they are gaining knowledge of the conceptual basis. Even if ironic, it's the core meaning.

Thus, the answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "basis" is used in the given sentence. The word is enclosed in <t> tags: "the conceptual <t>basis</t> of mathematical theory".

Let's examine the context: "students who can not add or subtract 'learning' the conceptual basis of mathematical theory". This refers to the fundamental concepts or underlying principles that form the foundation of mathematical theory. It's not about a friendly relationship (sense 1), or just a part of a drink (sense 3). Sense 2 says "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained". That fits perfectly: the conceptual basis of mathematical theory refers to the fundamental assumptions or foundational ideas on which the theory is built. Sense 2's example: "the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture" is similar in structure to "conceptual basis of mathematical theory".

Therefore, the correct sense is number 2.

The sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract 'learning' the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

We need to match "mathematical" in this context. The word is "mathematical theory". It's about a theory that pertains to mathematics. The senses provided:

1. of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics | examples=a mathematical textbook
2. relating to or having ability to think in or work with numbers | examples=tests for rating numerical aptitude
3. beyond question | examples=a mathematical certainty
4. statistically possible though highly improbable | examples=have a mathematical chance of making the playoffs
5. characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics | examples=mathematical precision

In the phrase "mathematical theory", it's simply a theory that belongs to the field of mathematics. That corresponds to sense 1: "of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics". Example given: "a mathematical textbook" (which is a textbook about mathematics, pertaining to mathematics). So sense 1 is correct.

Hence, answer is 1.

4. definition=obtain data from magnetic tapes | examples=This dictionary can be read by the computer
5. definition=interpret the significance of, as of palms, tea leaves, intestines, the sky; also of human behavior | examples=She read the sky and predicted rain
6. definition=interpret something in a certain way; convey a particular meaning or impression | examples=I read this address as a satire
7. definition=be a student of a certain subject | examples=She is reading for the bar exam
8. definition=indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments | examples=The thermometer showed thirteen degrees below zero
9. definition=audition for a stage role by reading parts of a role | examples=He is auditioning for `Julius Caesar' at Stratford this year
10. definition=to hear and understand | examples=I read you loud and clear!
11. definition=make sense of a language | examples=She understands French

The sentence: "should read the article..." Clearly the meaning is to interpret something that is written or printed (i.e., read a text). That matches sense 1: "interpret something that is written or printed | examples=read the advertisement". Sense 3 involves reading aloud, not applicable. Sense 6 is about interpreting in a certain way, but the sentence just says "read the article" meaning to look at and comprehend the text. So sense 1 is the most direct. Therefore the correct number is 1.

Sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a <t>recent</t> math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."

Senses:
1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

We need to select the sense that matches. The word is "recent" modifying "math major". "a recent math major at Harvard" means someone who recently graduated or was recently a math major. This aligns with sense 2: "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time". Sense 1 says "new" and gives "recent graduates" as example, which might seem similar, but sense 2 is more precise. But let's check: sense 1 is "new" with example "recent graduates". Sense 2 is "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time". In the sentence, "recent math major" means he was a math major in the immediate past. That closely matches sense 2. Also, "recent graduates" could fit both "new graduates" and "of the immediate past". However, the definitions are given. Usually, in such tasks, "recent" meaning "having just happened" is the typical sense. Sense 2 explicitly says "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time", which fits "a recent math major" (someone who just recently was a math major). Sense 1 says "new", which might be more like "recent developments" meaning new developments. But "recent math major" isn't exactly "new math major" (like a fresh graduate), it means someone who just recently completed that major. I think sense 2 is correct. Let's double-check: "recent graduates" is under sense 1? That's interesting. The example "recent graduates" is listed under sense 1 definition="new". But "recent graduates" often means people who graduated recently. That could be sense 2 as well. However, the definitions provided are distinct. Sense 2: "a late development" is example. In the sentence, "recent math major" is a noun phrase like "recent graduates". If the test maker put "recent graduates" under sense 1, they might intend sense 1 for such phrases. I need to think: is "a recent math major" meaning "a new math major" or "a math major of the immediate past"? Actually, "new math major" sounds odd; "recent math major" means someone who was a math major recently. So it's about time, not about being new. The sense "of the immediate past" fits better. Some dictionaries define "recent" as "having happened, begun, or been done not long ago; belonging to a past period comparatively close to the present." That's sense 2. The example "recent graduates" might be listed under "new" in some dictionaries? I'll trust the definitions given: sense 1 is "new", sense 2 is "of the immediate past...". The phrase "recent math major" means he was a math major in the immediate past. So sense 2. I'll answer 2.

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

Sentence: Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math <t>major</t> at Harvard) in the November American Spectator.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which numbered sense of "major" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator." The word in angle brackets is "major". The senses given:

1. definition=a commissioned military officer...
2. definition=British statesman...
3. definition=a university student who is studying a particular field as the principal subject | examples=she is a linguistics major
4. definition=the principal field of study of a student at a university | examples=her major is linguistics

The sentence says "Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard)". So "math major" refers to a student who majors in math. That is a person. Sense 3: a university student who is studying a particular field as the principal subject. Example: she is a linguistics major. That matches exactly. Sense 4 is the field itself (her major is linguistics), but here it says "a math major" meaning a person, so sense 3. Return only the number: 3.

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

Sentence: -- <t>Most</t> important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline.

Senses:
1. definition=used to form the superlative | examples=the king cobra is the most dangerous snake
2. definition=very | examples=a most welcome relief
3. definition=(of actions or states) slightly short of or not quite accomplished; all but | examples=the job is (just) about done

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline." The word "Most" is tagged. We need to determine which numbered sense applies.

Let's examine the senses:
1. used to form the superlative (e.g., "the king cobra is the most dangerous snake")
2. very (e.g., "a most welcome relief")
3. (of actions or states) slightly short of or not quite accomplished; all but (e.g., "the job is (just) about done")

In the sentence, "Most important of all" uses "most" to indicate the superlative degree of "important". It's saying "the most important of all". This is a superlative construction. "Most" here forms the superlative of "important". It is not sense 2 ("very") because "very important of all" doesn't make sense. Sense 3 is clearly about "almost" meaning, not applicable.

Thus, sense 1 is correct.

Sentence: -- Most <t>important</t> of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline.

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

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "-- Most <t>important</t> of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline."

We need to choose which numbered sense of "important" is used. The senses are:
1. of great significance or value (examples: important people)
2. important in effect or meaning (examples: a significant change in tax laws)
3. of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis (examples: a crucial moment in his career)
4. having authority or ascendancy or influence (examples: an important official)
5. having or suggesting a consciousness of high position (examples: recited the decree with an important air)

In the sentence, "Most important of all" is a phrase meaning "what is most significant" or "most importantly". It introduces a point that the speaker considers the most significant. The word "important" here means "of great significance or value". It doesn't mean having authority (sense 4) or suggesting consciousness of high position (sense 5). It is a superlative adverbial phrase implying "the most significant thing is...". So it matches sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

7. a large group of fish (example: a school of small glittering fish swam by)

We need to identify the sense of "schools" in the sentence. The sentence talks about "schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline." Here, "schools" refers to the institution as an entity that has a principal, faculty, curriculum, etc. It's the educational institution. Sense 1 is exactly that: an educational institution. Sense 6 is "an educational institution's faculty and students", which would be odd because you wouldn't say "the faculty and students should have principals"; the sentence says "schools should have principals". So sense 1 is correct.

Therefore, answer: 1.

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "principal" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Most important of all, schools should have <t>principals</t> with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline."

We need to look at the senses provided:
1. the original amount of a debt on which interest is calculated
2. the educator who has executive authority for a school | examples: she sent unruly pupils to see the principal
3. an actor who plays a principal role
4. capital as contrasted with the income derived from it
5. (criminal law) any person involved in a criminal offense, regardless of whether the person profits from such involvement
6. the major party to a financial transaction at a stock exchange; buys and sells for his own account

The sentence is about schools having "principals" with authority over faculty, curriculum, and student discipline. This clearly refers to sense 2: the educator who has executive authority for a school. The example given for sense 2 even matches: "she sent unruly pupils to see the principal".

So the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: "Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large <t>measure</t> of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline."

We need to pick the numbered sense that matches the meaning of "measure" in this sentence.

The word "measure" in the sentence is used as a noun, in the phrase "a large measure of authority". This means "a considerable amount or degree of authority". It's synonymous with "a large amount" or "a great deal".

Now examine the senses:

1. any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal (e.g., "strong measures") -> This refers to actions/steps taken. Not a match.
2. how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify -> This is about quantity, amount. "A large measure of authority" fits: a large amount of authority.
3. a statute in draft before it becomes law -> not a match.
4. the act or process of assigning numbers to phenomena according to a rule -> measurement process, not a match.
5. a basis for comparison; a reference point -> standard, not a match.
6. (prosody) accent in metrical foot -> not a match.
7. musical notation for repeating pattern of musical beats -> "bars" in music, not a match.
8. measuring instrument having marks -> ruler, etc., not a match.
9. a container of some standard capacity -> measuring cup, not a match.

Sense 2 is exactly about quantity or amount. "A large measure of authority" means a large amount of authority. So the correct answer is 2.

7. definition=an authoritative written work | examples=this book is the final authority on the life of Milton

In the sentence, "authority" is about a principal having "a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline." This means the power or right to make decisions and give orders in those areas. Sense 1 matches: "the power or right to give orders or make decisions".

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

4. definition=a problem | examples=is anything the matter?
5. definition=(used with negation) having consequence | examples=they were friends and it was no matter who won the games
6. definition=written works (especially in books or magazines) | examples=he always took some reading matter with him on the plane

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

Sentence: "Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all <t>matters</t> of student discipline."

Senses:
1. a vaguely specified concern (examples: several matters to attend to)
2. some situation or event that is thought about (he kept drifting off the topic)
3. that which has mass and occupies space (physics)
4. a problem (is anything the matter?)
5. (used with negation) having consequence (they were friends and it was no matter who won)
6. written works (especially in books or magazines) (he always took some reading matter with him)

Now, analyze the sentence: "all <t>matters</t> of student discipline". Here, "matters" refers to issues, affairs, concerns related to student discipline. It's a plural noun meaning "affairs" or "subjects of concern". This fits best with sense 1: "a vaguely specified concern". Sense 2 is "some situation or event that is thought about", which is similar but often used as a singular "matter" meaning "topic" (e.g., the matter at hand). However, sense 1 says "a vaguely specified concern" with examples "several matters to attend to". "Matters of student discipline" are concerns or affairs. The distinction: sense 1 and 2 are very close. Let's check the exact wording. Sense 1: "a vaguely specified concern". Sense 2: "some situation or event that is thought about". The phrase "matters of student discipline" refers to the various issues/areas within student discipline, not just something thought about. In many dictionaries, "matter" as "affair, concern" is a primary sense. Given the choices, "a vaguely specified concern" fits "all matters of student discipline" as in "all affairs/concerns relating to student discipline". Sense 2 is more like "topic" or "subject matter". The example for sense 2: "he kept drifting off the topic" suggests "subject under discussion". That's not exactly the same as "matters of discipline" which are practical affairs. So sense 1 is the best match.

Thus, the answer is 1.

We need to determine which sense fits the usage of "student" in the phrase "student discipline". The context is about principals having authority over faculty, curriculum, and student discipline. "Student discipline" refers to discipline of students (the learners in the school). It does not refer to a learned person. So sense 1 is correct.

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

Sentence: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."

The word "Study" is used twice: "Study after study". This phrase means one study after another, i.e., a series of research efforts or published reports. "the most recent from the Brookings Institution" indicates a think tank that publishes research. So "study" here refers to a research project or a written document describing findings.

Looking at the senses:
1. detailed critical inspection (could be a study of something, but usually not "study after study" meaning a publication)
2. applying mind to learning (the activity of studying)
3. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | examples: this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale. This matches perfectly: "Study after study" means one published study after another, and the example mentions "the recent study by Hill and Dale", which parallels "the most recent from the Brookings Institution".
4-10 are other meanings (state of absorption, room, branch of knowledge, drawing, meditation, quick learner, musical composition).

Clearly sense 3 is the intended one.
