reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "find"
    *   Target sentence: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."
    *   Context clues: The sentence structure is "Subject (parents) + verb (find) + Object (this romantic extravagance) + Object Complement (so attractive)." This is a classic transitive verb pattern where the verb means "to perceive or judge something to be [adjective]."
    *   The parents are experiencing a reaction or forming an opinion about the "romantic extravagance." They perceive it as attractive.

2.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `find%2:40:02::` (come upon, as if by accident; meet with) -> Examples: "We find this idea in Plato." This is about encountering something. The parents aren't "bumping into" the extravagance; they are judging it.
    *   2. `find%2:39:02::` (discover or determine the existence...) -> Examples: detecting lead. This is about discovering facts. Not fitting for an opinion like "attractive."
    *   3. `find%2:40:00::` (come upon after searching; find the location...) -> Examples: finding lost glasses. Not relevant here.
    *   4. `find%2:32:00::` (establish after a calculation...) -> Examples: "find the31:10::` (come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds; synonyms: feel) -> Examples: "I find him to be obnoxious." This fits very well. The structure "find [object] [adjective]" matches "find this romantic extravagance so attractive." It involves perception/judgment based on feeling.
    *   6. `find%2:39:01::` (perceive or be contemporaneous with) -> Examples: "We found Republicans winning." Witnessing an event. Not judging a quality.
    *   7. `find%2:40:01::` (get something or somebody for a specific purpose) -> Examples: finding a gadget. Not relevant.
    *   8. `find%2:36:00::` (make a discovery, make a new finding) -> Scientific discovery (Roentgen). Not:09::` (make a discovery) -> Examples: "She found that he had lied." Fact-finding.
    *   10. `find%2:40:03::` (obtain through effort) -> Examples: finding time. Not relevant.
   01::` (decide on and make a declaration about) -> Legal finding (guilty). Not relevant.
    *   12. `find%2:30:00::` (receive a specified treatment) -> Passive usage usually ("found expression"). The context is active voice.
    *   13. `find%2:39:05::` (perceive oneself to be...) -> Reflexive usage ("found myself"). Not relevant.
    *   14. `find%2:40:15::` (get or find back; recover) -> Not relevant.
    *   15. `find%2:38:10::` (succeed in reaching) -> Not relevant.
    *   16. `find%2:30:13::` (find oneself) -> Idiomatic. Not relevant.

3.  **Compare the best candidates:**
    *   Candidate 1 ("We find this idea in Plato") is close in structure but implies existence/location.
    *   Candidate 5 ("I find him to be obnoxious") is the semantic match. The parents are forming a judgment/opinion. The definition says "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds". Finding something "attractive" is an emotional/intuitive judgment. The synonym "feel" ("I feel that he doesn't like me") supports this internal state of mind rather than external discovery.

    Let's re-read the definition of sense 5: "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds."
    Context: "parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."
    This is a judgment of quality/characteristic.
    Does sense 1 fit? "come upon, as if by accident". No, finding something attractive is not "b No.
    Does sense 6 fit? "perceive". "perceive or be contemporaneous with". The example is "You'll see a lot of cheating". This is observation of an event.
    Sense 5 is the standard sense for "find [obj] [adj]" (e.g., "I find it difficult," "I find her charming"). The context "find ... attractive" aligns perfectly with this usage.

    Wait, let me double check if there's a specific "perceive" sense.
    Sense 2 is "discover... fact".
    Sense 6 is "perceive... with".
    Sense 5 is "come to believe...".

    Let's look at the example for Sense 5: "I find him to be obnoxious."
    Target: "parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."
    The structure is identical. "Find X [to be] Y".
    "Obnoxious" and "attractive" are subjective judgments based on emotion/intuition.
    Therefore, Sense 5 is the correct choice.

    Let's verify the index.
    1. sense_key=find%2:40:02::
    2. sense_key=find%2:39:02::
    3. sense_key=find%2:40:00::
    4. sense_key=find%2:32:00::
    5. sense_key=find%2:31:10:: (This is the one)
    ...

    Let's re-evaluate sense 6 just in case.
    Sense 6: "perceive or be contemporaneous with". Synonyms: "witness, see". Examples: "We found Republicans winning..."
    This implies witnessing an action or state occurring. "Finding something attractive" is a mental state of the subject (the parents), not an observation of an event occurring to the object. Sense 5 captures the mental judgment aspect.

    Conclusion: Sense 5 is the best fit.

    Choice: 5.

The user wants me to disambiguate the word "find" in the sentence:
"It is not surprising that parents <t>find</t> this romantic extravagance so attractive."

Let's analyze the context.
Subject: parents
Object: this romantic extravagance
Complement: so attractive (an adjective phrase describing the object).

The meaning here is about parents perceiving or evaluating the "romantic extravagance" as attractive. It involves an opinion or judgment.
They don't discover it (it's not hidden).
They don't locate it (it's not lost).
They don't calculate it.
It's about a subjective assessment or feeling.

Let's look at the candidate senses:

1. `find%2:40:02::` | come upon, as if by accident... (Examples: find an idea in Plato). Not fitting "find [object] [adjective]".
2. `find%2:39:02::` | discover or determine the existence... (Examples: detect lead). Not fitting the subjective opinion structure.
3. `find%2:40:00::` | come upon after searching... (Examples: find glasses). No.
4. `find%2:32:00::` | establish after a calculation... (Examples: find the product). No, this is intellectual/school context, but "find it attractive" is an opinion, not a calculation.
5. `find%2:31:10::` | come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds | synonyms=feel | examples=I feel that he doesn't like me; I find him to be obnoxious.
   This sense fits the structure "find [X] [adjective]" (I find him obnoxious / Parents find it attractive). It captures the subjective evaluation/opinion aspect.
6. `find%2:39:01::` | perceive or be contemporaneous with... (Examples: find Republicans winning). A bit close, but usually implies witnessing an event.
7. `find%2:40:01::` | get something... No.
8. `find%2:36:00::` | make a discovery... No.
9. `find%2:31:09::` | make a discovery... No.
10. `find%2:40:03::` | obtain through effort... No.
11. `find%2:32:01::` | decide on... No.
12. `find%2:30:00::` | receive a specified treatment... No.
13. `find%2:39:05::` | perceive oneself to be... No (Subject is "parents", object is "extravagance", not oneself).
14. `find%2:40:15::` | get or find back... No.
15. `find%2:38:10::` | succeed in reaching... No.
16. `find%2:30:13::` | accept and make use of... No.

Comparison between Sense 5 and Sense 6?
Sense 5 definition: "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds". Synonyms: "feel". Examples: "I find him to be obnoxious".
The sentence is "parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive". This expresses a belief/feeling/opinion about the quality of the thing. This matches Sense 5 perfectly.

Sense 6 definition: "perceive or be contemporaneous with". Examples: "We found Republicans winning the offices". This implies observing a state of affairs happening, rather than forming a subjective judgment of quality (attractive).

Therefore, Sense 5 is the correct choice. It captures the "find [object] [adjective]" construction used for expressing opinions or perceptions based on feeling/intuition.

The previous output was malformed: `sense_index": 5}`. I need to correct that to valid JSON.
The correct index is 5.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Word**: The target word is "romantic" (adjective).
2.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   The text discusses "creativity" in education, linking it to a rebellion against "disciplined instruction."
    *   It describes a view where children have "latent talents" and "wonderful... potentialities," and that structured teaching is "authoritarian."
    *   The phrase "romantic rebellion" suggests an intellectual or philosophical stance, specifically one that values intuition/emotion/potentiality over structure/reason.
    *   The specific sentence is: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."
    *   Here, "romantic" modifies "extravagance." The "extravagance" refers to the educational philosophy described above (idealistic, impractical, based on vague potentialities rather than rigorous discipline).
    *   The author is critical, calling the view "ignorance," "intellectual incompetence," and contrasting it with "common sense" and "traditional" education.
    *   The context emphasizes idealism, impracticality, and a rebellion against realism/discipline.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses**:

    *   **Sense 1**: `belonging to or characteristic of Romanticism or the Romantic Movement in the arts` (synonyms: romanticist, romanticistic; examples: romantic poetry).
        *   *Evaluation*: While the text mentions a "romantic rebellion," the specific usage "romantic extravagance" refers to the *nature* of the idea (impractical, idealistic) rather than strictly identifying it as a piece of art history or the specific historical movement (though the educational philosophy draws from Romanticism). However, WordNet often distinguishes between the *movement/style* (Sense 1) and the *disposition/character trait* (Sense 3). Let's look at Sense 3.

    *   **Sense 2**: `expressive of or exciting sexual love or romance` (synonyms: amatory, amorous; examples: amorous glances).
        *   *Evaluation*: This is clearly incorrect. The context is about education, parenting, and intellectual philosophy, not sexual love.

    *   **Sense 3**: `not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic` (synonyms: quixotic, wild-eyed; examples: quixotic as a restoration of medieval knighthood; a romantic disregard for money).
        *   *Evaluation*: The text describes a view that ignores "intellectual incompetence," believes in undefined "potentialities," and rejects "disciplined instruction." The author implies this is unrealistic and contrasts it with "common sense" and "practical matters" (getting a decent education). The phrase "romantic extravagance" fits the "unrealistic/idealistic" definition perfectly. The synonyms "quixotic" and "wild-eyed" align with the author's critical tone regarding this impractical approach to education.

4.  **Comparison between Sense 1 and Sense 3**:
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *movement* (Romanticism).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *quality* (impractical, idealistic).
    *   The text says: "part and parcel of a **romantic rebellion**..." then later "...find this **romantic extravagance**..."
    *   While the rebellion itself might be linked to the historical Romantic movement (Sense 1), the specific usage "romantic extravagance" describes the *quality* of the idea—unrealistic, fanciful, impractical. The parents finding it attractive suggests they are drawn to the *idealistic/impractical nature* of the promise (that every child is full of hidden potential without effort), rather than the art history movement.
    *   The definition "not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic" captures the essence of the criticism in the text perfectly.
    *   If I look at the examples for Sense 3 ("quixotic as a restoration of medieval knighthood"), they align well with the text's description of fanciful educational theories.
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit for the specific phrase "romantic extravagance" in this context.

5.  **Final Decision**: Sense 3.

6.  **Format Output**: JSON object `{"sense_index": 3}`.

The target word is "so" in the context: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."

Here, "so" is an adverb modifying "attractive". It means "to a very great extent or degree". Parents find the romantic extravagance very attractive.

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. so%4:02:02:: | definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious; never been so happy
2. so%4:02:06:: | definition=in a manner that facilitates
3. so%4:02:05:: | definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied
4. so%4:02:07:: | definition=to a certain unspecified extent or degree
5. so%4:02:08:: | definition=in the same way; also
6. so%4:02:04:: | definition=in the way indicated
7. so%4:02:03:: | definition=(usually followed by `that`) to an extent or degree as expressed
8. so%4:02:09:: | definition=subsequently or soon afterward
9. so%4:02:10:: | definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion)
10. so%4:02:00:: | definition=in truth (often tends to intensify)

The sentence is "find this romantic extravagance so attractive". This fits sense 1: "to a very great extent or degree" (examples: "so obvious", "so happy").

Sense 7 mentions "(usually followed by `that`)", which is not the case here ("It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive" - "that" follows "surprising", not "so").
Sense 4 is "to a certain unspecified extent or degree" (e.g., "only so much").

So Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."
    *   Target word: "attractive".
    *   Subject: "parents".
    *   Object: "this romantic extravagance" (referring to the educational philosophy described as a "romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction" that focuses on "self-expression" and "self-esteem").
    *   Meaning: Parents like or are drawn to this idea. The text implies the idea appeals to them emotionally or intellectually (it flatters their children, aligns with romantic notions, etc.), even if the author criticizes the result.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (attractive%3:00:01::):** "pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm".
        *   Examples: "attractive young man", "attractive personality".
        *   Fit: Does "romantic extravagance" have beauty or charm in a visual or personality sense? Not really. It's an abstract concept or a pedagogical approach. While parents might find it pleasing to the mind, Sense 2 is usually more specific to ideas/opportunities.
    *   **Sense 2 (attractive%5:00:00:appealing:00):** "having power to arouse interest".
        *   Examples: "attractive opportunity", "the job is attractive because of the pay".
        *   Fit: This sense deals with things like opportunities, ideas, or offers. The context describes an educational philosophy ("romantic extravagance") that parents find appealing or interesting. It "arouses interest" or "appeals" to them. The synonym "appealing" fits well here.
    *   **Sense 3 (attractive%3:00:02::):** "having the properties of a magnet; the ability to draw or pull".
        *   Examples: "attractive force".
        *   Fit: This is a physical/scientific definition. Definitely not the case here.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 is often used for physical appearance or personality traits (human attributes).
    *   Sense 2 is used for abstract concepts, opportunities, or situations where something draws someone in because of its qualities or benefits.
    *   The text discusses an idea/approach ("romantic extravagance"). Parents find the idea appealing.
    *   Sense 2 examples: "attractive opportunity". The text discusses a philosophical stance/opportunity for self-expression.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice. It captures the "appealing nature" of the concept to the parents.

4.  **Final Conclusion:** The target word means "appealing" or "having power to arouse interest" in the context of an abstract idea/philosophy.

5.  **Format Output:** JSON object `{"sense_index": 2}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "same"
    *   Context snippet: "Fortunately, these <t>same</t> parents do want their children to get a decent education..."
    *   The sentence refers back to the parents mentioned in the previous sentence ("It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive.").
    *   The phrase "these same parents" is an anaphoric reference. It points to the specific group of people already introduced.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `same%3:00:02::` -> "same in identity". Examples: "the same man I saw yesterday".
        *   This sense refers to exact identity. "These same parents" refers to the specific individuals mentioned earlier. They are not just *similar* parents (Sense 2), nor are we talking about an *amount* (Sense 3). They are the identical group of people previously mentioned.
        *   Usage check: "These same parents" = the identical ones previously mentioned.

    *   **Sense 2:** `same%3:00:00::` -> "closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree". Examples: "curtains the same color as the walls".
        *   This refers to similarity in attributes, not identity of the entity itself. The parents aren't just *similar* to the ones mentioned before; they *are* the ones mentioned before.

    *   **Sense 3:** `same%3:00:04::` -> "equal in amount or value". Synonyms: like. Examples: "like amounts".
        *   This is about equivalence in measurement. Not applicable to the identity of a group of people in this specific structure.

    *   **Sense 4:** `same%5:00:00:unchanged:00` -> "unchanged in character or nature". Examples: "the village stayed the same".
        *   This refers to constancy over time. The sentence isn't saying the parents haven't changed their nature (though they might have a conflicting desire), it is identifying them as the specific group discussed previously.

3.  **Compare and Select:**
    *   The context clearly uses "same" to indicate that the parents being discussed now are the *identical* parents mentioned in the preceding sentence. This fits Sense 1 perfectly ("same in identity", "the same man I saw yesterday").

    *   Could it be Sense 4? No, the sentence structure "these same [noun]" is a determinative usage indicating identity reference, not a predicative usage indicating lack of change (e.g., "the parents are the same").
    *   Could it be Sense 2? No, "these same parents" does not mean "parents of a similar type". It means "the aforementioned parents".

4.  **Final Decision:** Sense 1 is the correct match.

5.  **Format Output:** JSON object `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: `want`
    *   Context sentence: "Fortunately, these same parents do **want** their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood..."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses parents' attitudes towards education. They like the idea of "creativity" and "self-expression" (romantic extravagance), but they also have a strong desire for their children to receive a "decent education" (traditional instruction). The sentence contrasts the romantic attraction with a practical desire.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `want%2:37:00::` | Definition: "feel or have a desire for; want strongly" | Synonyms: "desire" | Examples: "I want to go home now; I want my own room".
        *   *Fit:* This fits the general meaning of "want" here. Parents *desire* that their children get an education. It expresses a wish or longing for an outcome.

    *   **Sense 2:** `want%2:34:00::` | Definition: "have need of" | Synonyms: "need, require" | Examples: "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner".
        *   *Fit:* While parents might *need* education for their children, the context emphasizes the parents' attitude and wish alongside their "common sense". The construction "do want their children to get..." suggests a volition/desire rather than a requirement or lack. However, sometimes "want" and "need" overlap. But "desire" (Sense 1) is usually the primary sense for human volition. The example for Sense 2 ("This piano wants...") is distinctively about object requirements. Human agents usually "desire" things.

    *   **Sense 3:** `want%2:35:00::` | Definition: "hunt or look for; want for a particular reason" | Examples: "Your former neighbor is wanted by the FBI; Uncle Sam wants you".
        *   *Fit:* This is the "wanted by the police" sense. Clearly incorrect here.

    *   **Sense 4:** `want%2:31:01::` | Definition: "wish or demand the presence of" | Examples: "I want you here at noon!".
        *   *Fit:* This is about summoning someone or demanding presence in a specific location. The parents want an *outcome* (children getting an education), not necessarily the physical presence of the children right now. This is too specific.

    *   **Sense 5:** `want%2:42:01::` | Definition: "be without, lack; be deficient in" | Examples: "want courtesy; want the strength to go on living".
        *   *Fit:* This is the archaic or formal sense of "lacking" something. The context uses "do want" (emphatic do), which emphasizes the positive desire, not the lack. Clearly incorrect.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Context: "parents do want their children to get a decent education".
    *   This expresses a psychological state of the parents (volition/desire).
    *   Sense 1 (desire) captures the volition. "I want my own room" parallels "I want my children to get an education".
    *   Sense 2 (need/require) is often used for objects or objective necessity ("This piano wants attention"). While one could argue parents "need" their kids to get an education, the phrasing "do want" implies emphasis on the wish/desire, distinguishing it from the previous "romantic" attraction. The parents *desire* the education outcome. Sense 1 is the standard definition of human volition.

4.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the standard transitive use of "want" with a human subject expressing a desire for an object or outcome.
    *   The context contrasts "finding romantic extravagance attractive" (desire/preference) with "wanting a decent education" (desire/preference).
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

5.  **Format Output:**
    *   JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
```

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target lemma and surface form**:
    *   Lemma: child
    *   Surface form: children (plural)

2.  **Analyze the context**:
    *   Sentence: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood..."
    *   Broader context discusses education, "youngsters", "adolescent illiteracy", parents, and the relationship between parents and their offspring regarding schooling.
    *   Key phrase: "parents do want their children..." This explicitly establishes a parent-child relationship.

3.  **Analyze the candidate senses**:

    *   *Sense 1 (child%1:18:00::)*:
        *   Definition: a young person of either sex.
        *   Synonyms: kid, youngster, minor, etc.
        *   Examples: "she writes books for children".
        *   Fit: The context mentions "youngsters" and "adolescent illiteracy", suggesting young age. However, the specific phrase "parents want their children" emphasizes the relationship status more than just the age, although age is implied by the education context. This is a strong contender, but often WordNet distinguishes between "young person" (age-based) and "offspring" (relationship-based).

    *   *Sense 2 (child%1:18:01::)*:
        *   Definition: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age.
        *   Synonyms: kid.
        *   Examples: "they had three children", "send their kids to college".
        *   Fit: The context explicitly pairs "parents" with "children". The example "send their kids to college" is semantically very close to "want their children to get a decent education". This sense focuses on the kinship relation. Even though the context implies they are of school age (education), the definition "offspring of any age" captures the relationship aspect inherent in the phrase "their children".

    *   *Sense 3 (child%1:18:06::)*:
        *   Definition: an immature childish person.
        *   Synonyms: baby.
        *   Fit: No. The context refers to students/potential students, not describing them as immature in character, but rather in relation to their parents.

    *   *Sense 4 (child%1:18:07::)*:
        *   Definition: a member of a clan or tribe.
        *   Fit: No. This is about "children of Israel" or similar tribal contexts.

4.  **Disambiguate between Sense 1 and Sense 2**:
    *   Sense 1 emphasizes *young age* (synonyms: youngster, minor).
    *   Sense 2 emphasizes *relationship/offspring* (definition: human offspring... of any age).
    *   The text says "parents do want their children".
    *   Is the author emphasizing that they are *young* (Sense 1) or that they are the *offspring* of the parents mentioned (Sense 2)?
    *   In WordNet, the possession "their children" usually triggers Sense 2 (offspring). The example provided for Sense 2 is "they were able to send their kids to college". This example is remarkably similar to the target context "want their children to get a decent education".
    *   Sense 1 examples: "writes books for children". Here the relationship isn't possession/kinship, but a target audience defined by age.
    *   The target text has a possessive "their children". This is the standard marker for Sense 2. While they are also young (Sense 1 applies loosely), the specific semantic relation of being the offspring of the "parents" is the primary meaning in this syntactic frame.
    *   Let's look at the earlier mention: "latent talents ... inherent in the souls of all our children." Here, "our children" refers to the children of society/parents. Again, the offspring relationship.
    *   The target sentence: "want their children to get a decent education".
    *   WordNet Sense 2 example: "send their kids to college".
    *   The mapping is almost exact. The kinship sense is the distinct marker here.

    *   Wait, let's reconsider. The text talks about "youngsters", "adolescent illiteracy", "generation of young people". The topic is clearly about young people/education.
    *   However, WSD usually distinguishes "offspring" vs "young person".
    *   Phrase: "their children".
    *   If I say "The children played in the park", I usually mean Sense 1 (young people).
    *   If I say "They love their children", I mean Sense 2 (offspring).
    *   The context is: "parents do want their children...".
    *   The possessive "their" points strongly to the offspring relationship. The fact that they are young is secondary context (education), but the primary semantic link is parent -> child.
    *   Sense 2 allows for "of any age", but in this specific context, they happen to be young. However, the definition "a human offspring (son or daughter)..." is the defining characteristic invoked by the word "parents".
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice.

    Let's double check the sense indexing.
    Sense 1: young person.
    Sense 2: offspring.

    Target sentence: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education..."
    The connection "parents" -> "children" defines the relationship. "Offspring" is the core meaning here.
    Sense 2 example: "they were able to send their kids to college".
    Target context: "want their children to get a decent education".
    This confirms Sense 2.

    Let's check the indices provided in the prompt.
    1. sense_key=child%1:18:00:: (young person)
    2. sense_key=child%1:18:01:: (offspring)
    3. sense_key=child%1:18:06:: (immature person)
    4. sense_key=child%1:18:07:: (clan member)

    Result: Sense 2.

The target sentence is: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to **get** a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

The context is discussing education, and parents wanting their children to obtain/receive a decent education.

Let me analyze the meaning of "get" in this context:
- Parents want their children to "get" a decent education
- This means acquiring, obtaining, or receiving an education

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=get%2:40:00::** | definition=come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire | examples=She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet
   - This fits: "get a decent education" = "acquire a decent education"

2. sense_key=get%2:30:00:: | definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition
   - Doesn't quite fit - education isn't a state or condition in this sense

3. sense_key=get%2:30:03:: | definition=receive a specified treatment (abstract)
   - Possible, but "education" isn't exactly "treatment"

4-7: Various other senses that don't quite fit

7. sense_key=get%2:39:00:: | definition=go through (mental or physical states or experiences) | synonyms=experience, receive, have | examples=get an idea; experience vertigo
   - This could potentially work - "get an education" could mean "experience education"
   - But the examples are about specific experiences like vertigo, not acquiring something like education

21. sense_key=get%2:40:14:: | definition=acquire as a result of some effort or action
   - This could also work - education requires effort

Let me think more carefully:

When parents want their children to "get a decent education," what does this mean?
- It means the children should receive/acquire/obtain an education
- Education is something that can be possessed or attained

The most appropriate sense seems to be:

**Sense 1**: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" - with synonym "acquire"
- "get a decent education" = "acquire a decent education"
- Education is abstract (mentioned in the definition)
- The examples show acquiring things (paintings, pets), but the definition includes abstract things

**Sense 21**: "acquire as a result of some effort or action"
- Also fits, since education requires effort
- But the examples are different: "get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"

**Sense 7**: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)"
- Synonyms include "experience, receive, have"
- Example "get an idea" is somewhat relevant
- But this seems more about transient experiences

I think **Sense 1** is the best fit because:
1. Education is an abstract thing that one can "come into possession of"
2. The synonym "acquire" fits well with education
3. "Get an education" is a common collocation meaning to acquire education

Let me double-check by comparing Sense 1 and Sense 21:
- Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract"
- Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action"

Both could work, but Sense 1 is more general and fits the context of wanting children to "get a decent education" - which is about possession/acquisition of education as an abstract entity. The emphasis on effort in Sense 21 isn't the main point here - the parents simply want the children to possess/have obtained an education.

I'll go with **Sense 1**.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target:** The target word is "decent" in the phrase "get a decent education".
2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses education, criticizing a focus on "creativity" and "self-esteem" over "disciplined instruction".
    *   It mentions "adolescent illiteracy" as a negative outcome.
    *   Parents want their children to get a "decent education as traditionally understood".
    *   The context implies a standard of quality or adequacy. It's contrasted with "ignorance and intellectual incompetence" and "adolescent illiteracy".
    *   It refers to "traditionally understood" education, which usually implies a functional, proper, or adequate education (reading, writing, etc.).
3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**
    *   *Sense 1 (respectable):* "socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous". Examples: "from a decent family". While education can be "respectable", the context here focuses more on the *result* (competence vs. incompetence) and the standard required, rather than social status or virtue.
    *   *Sense 2 (proper):* "according with custom or propriety". Examples: "becoming modesty". This is more about behavior and appropriateness, not quality of education.
    *   *Sense 3 (sexual behavior):* "conforming to conventions of sexual behavior". Irrelevant here.
    *   *Sense 4 (sufficient):* "sufficient for the purpose". Examples: "an adequate income". The context talks about avoiding "ignorance and intellectual incompetence" and "illiteracy". Parents want an education that is good enough to function, or meets a basic standard of quality. "Decent" here means "adequate" or "reasonably good". The phrase "decent education" is a common collocation meaning an education that meets a sufficient standard.
    *   *Sense 5 (clothed):* "decently clothed". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 6 (modest/sexual mores):* "observing conventional sexual mores". Irrelevant.
4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 4:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on social propriety/virtue.
    *   Sense 4 focuses on sufficiency/adequacy.
    *   In the context of "a decent education", especially contrasted with "ignorance" and "illiteracy", the meaning leans towards an education that is adequate or of sufficient quality to be useful. It's about the functional quality of the education.
    *   However, sometimes "decent" in "decent education" can mean "good" in a general sense, which overlaps with "respectable" (Sense 1) or just "satisfactory" (Sense 4).
    *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 4 again: "sufficient for the purpose". Does the text imply just "barely sufficient"? Or "good"? The text contrasts it with "ignorance". Parents want a *proper* education (traditionally understood).
    *   Let's check standard WSD mappings or usage.
        *   "A decent job" usually maps to 'adequate' or 'good'.
        *   "A decent education" usually means a satisfactory or proper education.
    *   Is there a "good" sense in WordNet for 'decent'?
        *   Looking at the provided list:
            1. socially correct/respectable.
            2. proper/becoming.
            3. sexual behavior.
            4. sufficient.
            5. clothed.
            6. modest/sexual mores.
    *   Actually, WordNet 3.0 often groups "good" or "adequate" under the specific "decent%3:00:00::" or similar. Wait, looking at the provided candidates:
        *   Sense 4 is defined as "sufficient for the purpose" with synonyms "adequate, enough".
        *   Is "decent education" just "sufficient"? Or is it "respectable"?
    *   Context clue: "ignorance and intellectual incompetence". The opposite of incompetence is competence. Competence implies ability/functionality.
    *   "A decent education" usually means "a proper education" or "a good education".
    *   Let's look at Sense 1: "socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous". Does education fit "virtuous"? Maybe not. "Refined"? Not necessarily.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4: "sufficient for the purpose". Synonyms: "adequate". Examples: "an adequate income". In many contexts, "decent" implies "adequate" or "reasonably good". For example, "It was a decent meal" = It was adequate/good enough. "Get a decent education" = Get an education that is good enough/sufficient to avoid illiteracy.
    *   Is there a "good" sense missing? Usually, WordNet has a sense "fairly good". Let me check if Sense 4 captures "fairly good" or just "bare minimum".
    *   Often, "decent" implies "respectable" in terms of quality (Sense 1 might be interpreted as 'respectable quality'). But Sense 4 is "sufficient".
    *   Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "from a decent family", "a nice girl". These refer to moral/social standing.
    *   Let's check the examples for Sense 4: "an adequate income".
    *   "Decent education" is similar to "decent income" (living wage/adequate). It is the education needed to function in society.
    *   However, is "decent" closer to "proper" (Sense 2)? "Traditionally understood" suggests following the proper/customary way. Sense 2 definition: "according with custom or propriety". But Sense 2 examples are "becoming modesty", "comely behavior". This is clearly behavioral appropriateness.
    *   What about Sense 1? "socially or conventionally correct". An education can be socially correct? Not really.
    *   Sense 4 seems the best fit for "quality/standard". "Decent" here means "satisfactory" or "adequate" or "of a good enough standard". The parents want their kids not to be illiterate. They want a functional education. This aligns with "sufficient for the purpose".
    *   Let's double check if there is a sense meaning "good" specifically. In WordNet 3.0, the adjective "decent" has senses:
        1. socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous (decent%5:00:00:respectable:00)
        2. according with custom or propriety (decent%5:00:00:proper:00)
        3. conforming to conventions of sexual behavior (decent%3:00:00::)
        4. sufficient for the purpose (decent%5:00:00:sufficient:00) - synonyms: adequate, enough.
        5. decently clothed...
        6. observing conventional sexual mores...
    *   There isn't a separate "good" sense listed here. Usually, when people say "a decent education", they mean a "good" education. "Sufficient" or "adequate" is the closest proxy in the provided list, often carrying the meaning of "reasonably good" or "passable".
    *   Let's reconsider Sense 1. Could it be "respectable"? "A respectable education"? It's possible, but the examples for Sense 1 ("decent family", "nice girl") are heavily coded for morality/social class. The education context here is about the *utility* of the education (avoiding illiteracy/incompetence), not the social cachet.
    *   Therefore, Sense 4 (sufficient/adequate) is the most appropriate. It denotes a level of quality that is acceptable. "Adequate income" parallels "decent education" (an education that meets needs).
    *   Let's verify if "traditionally understood" pushes it toward "proper" (Sense 2). "Proper" education? Sense 2 is "according with custom or propriety" regarding behavior (modesty). The examples "comely behavior", "becoming modesty" are very specific to behavior/dress appropriateness. "Decent education" is not about the education behaving modestly.
    *   Conclusion: Sense 4 is the best fit among the options. It captures the meaning of "satisfactory" or "adequate quality".

    *   Wait, let me check if Sense 1 "refined or virtuous" could apply. A "refined education"? No. "Virtuous education"? No. "Decent" here means "reasonably good" or "adequate".
    *   The text contrasts "decent education" with "adolescent illiteracy". Illiteracy = failure. Decent education = success/competence. Competence = adequacy/sufficiency.
    *   Therefore, Sense 4.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Context:** The target word is "education" in the phrase "get a decent education as traditionally understood".
    *   The context discusses "creativity" in education vs. "disciplined instruction".
    *   Parents want their children to "get a decent education".
    *   This implies a process, a system, or a body of knowledge provided to the children.
    *   The phrase "traditionally understood" suggests a formal process of schooling/learning.
    *   "Get a decent education" is a very common collocation.

2.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (education%1:04:00::):** "the activities of educating or instructing... activities that impart knowledge or skill". Synonyms: instruction, teaching. Example: "he received no formal education". This fits well. Parents want the *activity* or the *process* of instruction provided to their children.
    *   **Sense 2 (education%1:09:00::):** "knowledge acquired by learning and instruction". Example: "he had a very broad education". This refers to the *result* or the specific body of knowledge possessed by someone. While parents want their children to have knowledge, the phrase "get a ... education" usually refers to the process/system undergone or the instruction received, not just the static possession of knowledge. However, often these are blurred. Let's look closer. "Get an education" usually means "undergo schooling".
    *   **Sense 3 (education%1:09:01::):** "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge". Example: "education is a preparation for life". This is very abstract. It's about the *process* broadly.
    *   **Sense 4 (education%1:04:01::):** "the profession of teaching". Context: "parents want their children to get a decent education". They don't want their children to "get a profession of teaching". This is incorrect.
    *   **Sense 5 (education%1:07:01::):** "the result of good upbringing... knowledge of correct social behavior". Context: "adolescent illiteracy" is mentioned. The text contrasts "self-esteem" with "intellectual incompetence". The text talks about "instruction" and "knowledge". This is about academic learning, not manners/breeding.
    *   **Sense 6 (education%1:14:00::):** "the United States federal department...". Noun phrase "get a decent education" doesn't fit a specific government department entity.

3.  **Refine the Choice between Sense 1 and Sense 2/3.**
    *   The phrase "get a decent education" strongly aligns with Sense 1 in many dictionaries (often defined as the field of study or the activities).
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "activities of educating or instructing... impart knowledge or skill".
    *   Let's look at Sense 2: "knowledge acquired...".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3: "gradual process of acquiring knowledge".

    *   In the sentence "get a decent education", the focus is on what the children receive.
    *   WordNet distinctions can be subtle.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *activities* (teaching, instruction). The text contrasts "creativity in education" with "disciplined instruction". This suggests "education" here is the vessel or system containing these activities. "He received no formal education" (Sense 1 example).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *knowledge* itself. "He had a very broad education".
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *process*.

    *   Context clue: "The whole notion of 'creativity' in education... rebellion against disciplined instruction". Here, "education" acts as the domain or field. This aligns with Sense 1.
    *   Context clue: "parents do want their children to get a decent education". This usually refers to the schooling/instructional experience.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 ("activities of educating...") and Sense 2 ("knowledge acquired..."):
        *   If I say "I want a good education," I am saying I want to be taught well (Sense 1). If I say "I have a good education," I possess the knowledge (Sense 2).
        *   The verb "get" suggests the process of receiving instruction/activities.
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most fitting because it encompasses the "instruction" aspect mentioned explicitly in the context ("disciplined instruction"). The text equates "education" with "instruction" in the comparison.

    *   Let's check Sense 3 ("gradual process"). While true, the specific examples in Sense 1 ("formal education") match the context of "parents", "schools" (implied), and "instruction" better than the abstract "preparation for life" example of Sense 3.
    *   Let's check Sense 1 Synonyms: "instruction, teaching, pedagogy". The text explicitly contrasts the "romantic rebellion" with "disciplined instruction". This suggests the sense of education being the domain of instruction.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit. It captures the "activity" or "system of instruction" nuance present in "get a decent education" and matches the discussion on teaching methods.

4.  **Final Verification:**
    *   Sentence: "...parents do want their children to get a decent education..."
    *   Sense 1 definition: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill".
    *   Example in Sense 1: "he received no formal education". This maps to "get a decent education".
    *   The context discusses "instruction", "pedagogy" (implied by teaching methods), and "formal" systems (implied by "traditionally understood").
    *   Sense 2 is usually the state of having knowledge ("he has a good education").
    *   Sense 3 is a very general process.
    *   Sense 1 is the most precise linguistic fit for the "get/receive an education" construction referring to the act/system of teaching/learning.

    Decision: Sense 1.

"Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to **know** what that demands."

Let me analyze the context:
- The parents have common sense
- They "know what that demands" - where "that" refers to getting "a decent education as traditionally understood"
- So the parents know/understand what is required for a decent education

Looking at the senses:

1. "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" - This is about knowing facts or information. Examples: "I know that the President lied"; "I want to know who is winning the game"

2. "know how to do or perform something" - Examples: "She knows how to knit"; "Does your husband know how to cook?" - This is about procedural knowledge/skills

3. "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"; "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun"

4. "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object" - Examples: "She doesn't know this composer"; "Do you know my sister?"

5. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" - Examples: "I know the feeling!"; "have you ever known hunger?"

6. "accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority" - About acknowledging/recognizing

7. "have fixed in the mind" - Examples: "I know Latin"; "This student knows her irregular verbs" - About memorized knowledge

8. "have sexual intercourse with" - Not applicable

9. "know the nature or character of" - "we all knew her as a big show-off"

10. "be able to distinguish, recognize as being different" - "The child knows right from wrong"

11. "perceive as familiar" - "I know this voice!"

The context is about parents understanding what a decent education demands/requires. This is about knowing information - knowing what is required for education.

"what that demands" is essentially a piece of information - knowing what education requires. This fits sense 1 best - being cognizant or aware of information/facts.

Sense 2 (know how to do something) doesn't quite fit because it's not about knowing a skill.
Sense 3 is about being certain of truth/believing something beyond doubt, which is close but slightly different.
Sense 1 seems most appropriate - knowing information about what education demands.

The parents "know what that demands" - they have knowledge about what education requires. This is being cognizant/aware of a piece of information.

I'll choose sense 1.

Target lemma: demand
Target surface form: demands
Context:
No one can say. In practice, it ends up being equated with a "self-expression "that encourages the youngsters' "self-esteem. "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves. The whole notion of "creativity "in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as "authoritarian, "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children. It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive. Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that <t>demands</t>. Their commitment to "creativity "can not survive adolescent illiteracy.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that <t>demands</t>."
    *   Subject: "that" (referring to getting a decent education as traditionally understood).
    *   Object: None explicit, but implied (it demands certain things: discipline, instruction, etc.).
    *   Meaning: Getting a decent education requires certain conditions or actions. It involves necessity or requirement.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `demand%2:32:00::` - "request urgently and forcefully". Example: "The victim's family is demanding compensation." This implies an agent making a request to another agent. While education might metaphorically "demand" things, the primary sense here is about a speech act or a strong request. Education itself isn't a person requesting things forcefully in this context; it's a process that *requires* things.
    *   Sense 2: `demand%2:42:00::` - "require as useful, just, or proper". Synonyms: necessitate, ask, postulate, need, require, take. Example: "Success usually requires hard work." This fits perfectly. Getting a decent education *requires* specific inputs (discipline, instruction). It is about the logical or practical necessity of the situation.
    *   Sense 3: `demand%2:32:02::` - "claim as due or just". Synonyms: exact. Example: "The bank demanded payment of the loan." Similar to sense 1, this is about claiming a right or debt. Not fitting the abstract concept of "decent education".
    *   Sense 4: `demand%2:32:09::` - "lay legal claim to". Specific legal context. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: `demand%2:32:06::` - "summon to court". Legal context. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 6: `demand%2:32:05::` - "ask to be informed of". Example: "I demand an explanation." Speech act. Not applicable.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 is about an active request/plea/order ("The boss demanded...").
    *   Sense 2 is about a requirement/need ("It takes nerve...", "success usually requires...").
    *   The context sentence says "know what that [a decent education] demands". This parallels "Success usually requires hard work". It is an impersonal or abstract subject demanding specific requirements to be met.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice.

4.  **Format the output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   The correct index is 2 (corresponding to the second item in the list).

    Let's double check the indexing.
    1. sense_key=demand%2:32:00::...
    2. sense_key=demand%2:42:00::...
    ...
    Yes, it is the second item.

    The definition "require as useful, just, or proper" and the example "success usually requires hard work" map directly to "education... demands".
