reasoning_content:
The target word is "instruction" in the context: "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..."

Here, "instruction" refers to the activities of educating or instructing, specifically "disciplined instruction" in the context of education.
- Sense 1: "a message describing how something is to be done" (e.g., directions) - doesn't fit perfectly, though one could argue. "Disciplined instruction" could mean disciplined giving of directions, but the context is about education as an activity.
- Sense 2: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill" - This fits perfectly. "Disciplined instruction" contrasts with "creativity" in education, referring to the activity of teaching in a disciplined way.
- Sense 3: "the profession of a teacher" - This is about the profession. "Disciplined instruction" doesn't quite refer to the profession itself.
- Sense 4: computer science - irrelevant.

The contrast is between "creativity" in education and "disciplined instruction". This aligns with Sense 2 (the activities of educating or instructing).

Let's check Sense 1 again. "a message describing how something is to be done". Could "disciplined instruction" mean disciplined directions? In an educational context, "instruction" usually means teaching.
"our instruction was carefully programmed" (from Sense 2's examples) aligns with "disciplined instruction".
So Sense 2 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "authoritarian" in relation to "disciplined instruction" being regarded as "authoritarian," which is seen as "a repression and frustration of the latent talents" of children. This is in an educational context where disciplined instruction is being rebelled against.

Sense 1: characteristic of an absolute ruler or absolute rule; having absolute sovereignty. Examples: "an authoritarian regime; autocratic government."

Sense 2: expecting unquestioning obedience. Examples: "the timid child of authoritarian parents; insufferably overbearing behavior toward the waiter."

The context is about disciplined instruction being seen as authoritarian - expecting unquestioning obedience from students. This aligns more with Sense 2, which is about expecting unquestioning obedience (like authoritarian parents), rather than Sense 1 which is about absolute political rule (like a regime).

The word "authoritarian" here describes disciplined instruction that expects obedience from children, similar to authoritarian parenting mentioned in the examples for Sense 2.

So the best sense is Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "repression" in the context of education, where disciplined instruction is regarded as "authoritarian" and a "repression" of latent talents and potentialities in children.

Let me analyze the senses:

1. repression%1:26:00:: - "a state of forcible subjugation" - This is about political or social subjugation.
2. repression%1:22:00:: - "(psychiatry) the classical defense mechanism that protects you from impulses or ideas that would cause anxiety by preventing them from becoming conscious" - This is the psychoanalytic defense mechanism.
3. repression%1:04:00:: - "the act of repressing; control by holding down" with example "his goal was the repression of insolence" - This is about control by holding down, suppressing.

In the context, "repression" refers to the suppression or holding down of children's talents and potentialities through disciplined instruction. The romantic view sees disciplined instruction as "authoritarian" and a "repression" (holding down/suppression) of the latent talents of children.

This is not psychiatric repression (sense 2), as it's not about unconscious defense mechanisms. It's also not about political subjugation (sense 1) in the typical sense of the word.

Sense 3, "the act of repressing; control by holding down," seems most fitting. The example "his goal was the repression of insolence" parallels how disciplined instruction is seen as repressing (holding down) the talents and potentialities of children.

The answer is sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "frustration" of latent talents and potentialities in children. The sentence says disciplined instruction is regarded as "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful... potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."

This means disciplined instruction is seen as something that hinders or blocks the development/expression of children's talents. It's an act of hindering someone's plans or efforts (sense 2), or a feeling (senses 1 and 3).

Let's analyze the senses:
1. frustration%1:12:00:: - the feeling that accompanies an experience of being thwarted in attaining your goals. Synonyms: defeat.
2. frustration%1:04:02:: - an act of hindering someone's plans or efforts. Synonyms: thwarting, foiling.
3. frustration%1:12:01:: - a feeling of annoyance at being hindered or criticized.

In the context, "frustration" is used as an abstract noun referring to the act of hindering/blocking the latent talents. "Repression and frustration of the latent talents" - here frustration is parallel to repression, both being acts that hinder or suppress the talents. It is not a feeling here; it's the act of thwarting/hindering. So sense 2 fits best.

Sense 2 definition: "an act of hindering someone's plans or efforts" with synonyms "thwarting, foiling". This matches the context where disciplined instruction is seen as hindering/blocking the expression of children's talents.

So the answer is sense_index 2.

The context talks about "latent talents" and "potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children." This clearly refers to potential that exists but is not yet realized, not a pathology-related dormant condition.

Sense 1: "potentially existing but not presently evident or realized" with examples "a latent fingerprint; latent talent" - this matches perfectly with "latent talents" in the context.

Sense 2: "(pathology) not presently active" with examples "latent infection; latent diabetes" - this is medical/pathological and doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 1.

Sense 1: natural abilities or qualities (endowment, gift, natural endowment)
Sense 2: a person who possesses unusual innate ability in some field or activity

In the context, "latent talents" refers to innate abilities or qualities that children possess but haven't yet developed. It's about the abstract qualities/abilities, not about people who have talent.

So sense 1 is correct.

The target word is "potentialities" in context: "latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."

Sense 1: "the inherent capacity for coming into being" - synonyms: potential, potency
Sense 2: "an aptitude that may be developed" - synonyms: capability, capableness

The context talks about "latent talents" and "potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children." The word "latent" suggests something that exists but hasn't come into being yet. "Inherent" also matches with "inherent capacity." The potentialities are described as "as yet undefined" - suggesting they haven't come into being yet.

Sense 1 focuses on the inherent capacity for coming into being - this aligns well with "latent" and "inherent" in the context. The potentialities are something that could come into being but haven't yet.

Sense 2 focuses on an aptitude that may be developed - this is more about capability/capableness, a skill that can be developed.

The context mentions "latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities" - this suggests these are inherent capacities that could come into being, rather than specific aptitudes to be developed. The romantic notion described is about the inherent potential within children that could manifest.

Sense 1 seems to be the better fit.

The target word is "inherent" in the context: "...the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."

Sense 1: "existing as an essential constituent or characteristic" - synonyms: built-in, constitutional, inbuilt, integral. Examples: "the Ptolemaic system with its built-in concept of periodicity"; "a constitutional inability to tell the truth"

Sense 2: "in the nature of something though not readily apparent" - synonyms: implicit in, underlying. Examples: "shortcomings inherent in our approach"; "an underlying meaning"

The context talks about "latent talents" and "wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children." The key here is "latent" and "as yet undefined" - these potentialities are not readily apparent. They exist in the nature of the children but are not yet visible or manifested.

Sense 2 seems to fit better because it emphasizes "in the nature of something though not readily apparent," which aligns with "latent" and "as yet undefined" potentialities. The example "shortcomings inherent in our approach" also shows a similar pattern of something being part of the nature but not immediately obvious.

Sense 1 is about being an essential constituent or characteristic, like "built-in" or "constitutional" - things that are fundamental parts.

Both could work, but the emphasis on "latent" and "undefined" potentialities that are not yet apparent points more strongly to Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "souls" in the context: "...the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."

Here, "souls" refers to the inner being or immaterial essence of the children. It talks about "latent talents" and "potentialities inherent in the souls." This aligns with sense 1: "the immaterial part of a person; the actuating cause of an individual life" with synonym "psyche."

Let's consider the alternatives:
- Sense 2: "a human being" - could work as in "the souls of all our children" meaning "the people", but the context is about inherent potentialities and talents, which refers to the inner essence, not just the person as a whole.
- Sense 3: "deep feeling or emotion" - doesn't fit well here; the context is about potentialities and talents, not emotions per se.
- Sense 4: "the human embodiment of something" - example "the soul of honor" - doesn't fit.
- Sense 5: music genre - doesn't fit.

Sense 1 seems best: "the immaterial part of a person; the actuating cause of an individual life." The phrase "potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children" refers to the inner, immaterial essence of the children where their talents and potential reside.

Actually, let me reconsider. The romantic notion of "soul" here is very much about the inner spirit/essence of a person - the immaterial part. Sense 1 is the best fit.

"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 <t>children</t>. It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "children" in the context: "the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."

The context discusses parents, elementary schools, young people, and "youngsters." The sentence mentions "latent talents" and "potentialities" in the "souls of all our children," referring to young people who are being educated.

Sense 1: a young person of either sex (kid, youngster, minor)
Sense 2: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age
Sense 3: an immature childish person
Sense 4: a member of a clan or tribe

The context clearly refers to young people in an educational setting (elementary schools), and the text uses "youngsters" and "young people" as related terms. This aligns with Sense 1: "a young person of either sex."

While "our children" could suggest offspring (Sense 2), the broader context is about young people in schools, creativity in education, and the romantic view of young people's potential. The emphasis is on their age/youth rather than their relationship as offspring. The text also uses "youngsters" and "young people" which are synonyms for Sense 1.

So Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Let me analyze the context. The parents are coming upon or encountering this romantic extravagance and finding it attractive. This is about perceiving or encountering something and forming a judgment/opinion about it.

Let me look at the candidates:

1. come upon, as if by accident; meet with - "We find this idea in Plato" - This could work. The parents encounter this romantic extravagance.
2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of - "We found traces of lead in the paint" - Not quite right.
3. come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost - No, not searching for something lost.
4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study - No, not a study.
5. come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds - "I find him to be obnoxious" - This is about forming an opinion/judgment. "Parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive" - they perceive it as attractive.
6. perceive or be contemporaneous with - "We found Republicans winning the offices" - Not quite.
7. get something or somebody for a specific purpose - No.
8. make a discovery, make a new finding - No.
9. make a discovery - "She found that he had lied to her" - Not quite.
10. obtain through effort or management - No.
11. decide on and make a declaration about - No.
12. receive a specified treatment (abstract) - No.
13. perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place - No.
14. get or find back; recover the use of - No.
15. succeed in reaching; arrive at - No.
16. accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation - No.

Between 1 and 5:

Sense 1: "come upon, as if by accident; meet with" with examples "We find this idea in Plato; I happened upon the most wonderful bakery" - This is about encountering or coming across something.

Sense 5: "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" with examples "I feel that he doesn't like me; I find him to be obnoxious" - This is about forming an opinion or perception.

The sentence "parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive" - here "find" means they perceive/consider it to be attractive. This is about forming a judgment or perception about something, which aligns with sense 5.

But wait, let me reconsider sense 1. "We find this idea in Plato" - here "find" means to discover or locate something in a source. That's different from "parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."

Actually, looking more carefully, "find [something] attractive" is a construction where "find" means to perceive or consider something to have a certain quality. This is closer to sense 5 - "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" with the example "I find him to be obnoxious."

"I find him to be obnoxious" = I perceive/consider him to be obnoxious.
"Parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive" = Parents perceive/consider this romantic extravagance to be so attractive.

This aligns well with sense 5.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 5 says "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" with synonyms=feel. The example "I find him to be obnoxious" is very similar to "parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."

I'll go with sense 5.

This is about an idealistic, unrealistic approach to education that ignores practical matters. The author criticizes it as impractical and not sensible about practical matters.

Sense 3 fits best: "not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic" with synonyms like "quixotic" and example "a romantic disregard for money."

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

Here, "so" means "to a very great extent or degree" - it's an intensifier modifying "attractive."

Let me check the candidates:

1. sense_key=so%4:02:02:: | definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious; never been so happy

This fits perfectly. "so attractive" = "to a very great extent or degree attractive."

Other senses don't fit as well:
- Sense 2 is about facilitating something ("so he could...")
- Sense 3 is about "in such a condition or manner"
- Sense 4 is about "to a certain unspecified extent"
- Sense 5 is about "in the same way; also"
- Sense 6 is about "in the way indicated" (thus)
- Sense 7 is about "so...that" construction
- Sense 8 is about "subsequently"
- Sense 9 is about logical conclusion
- Sense 10 is about "in truth (indeed)"

Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content: The context discusses "parents" wanting their "children" to get a decent education. The children are offspring of the parents. Sense 2 is "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age." Sense 1 is "a young person of either sex." The text says "these same parents do want their children to get a decent education." The focus is on parents and their children. This strongly suggests the offspring relation. Also the context mentions "youngsters" and "young people" and "children" in general in the romantic rebellion discussion. But the specific target token "Fortunately, these same parents do want their <t>children</t> to get a decent education" clearly refers to parents' offspring. Sense 2 examples: "they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college" fits well with parents wanting children to get education. So sense 2.

Target: get
Object: a decent education

Here, "get a decent education" means to acquire or receive an education.
Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire). "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle". "Education" is abstract. "get a decent education".
Sense 21: acquire as a result of some effort or action (You cannot get water out of a stone).
Sense 7: go through (mental or physical states or experiences) (experience, receive, have) "get an idea". "get an education" is often considered an experience or acquisition.

However, "get an education" typically means to acquire or receive an education. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" fits perfectly for "get a decent education" (an education being abstract). Let's also consider sense 21, "acquire as a result of some effort or action". Getting an education definitely requires effort. But "get an education" is a very standard collocation that aligns well with "come into the possession of something abstract".

Let's check Sense 1 definition: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". This fits perfectly with "get an education". "education" is abstract.
Sense 21 definition: "acquire as a result of some effort or action". Example: "Where did she get these news?" Wait, "acquire as a result of some effort" often fits "get an education", but in WordNet, "get an education" is often mapped to sense 1 or 21. Let's see. Actually, "get" in "get a decent education" means to acquire or receive it.

Let's look at WordNet 3.0 senses for "get":
Sense 1: get, acquire -- (come into the possession of something concrete or abstract; "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle"; "They acquired a new pet"; "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle";...)
Sense 2: become, go, get -- (enter or assume a certain state or condition; ...)
Sense 3: get, let, have -- (cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition; ...)
Sense 4: get, receive, find, obtain, incur -- (receive a specified treatment (abstract); "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation"; "His movie received a good review"; "I got a headache"; "You get a 4-point line with this pen"...) -> wait, "I got a headache" is an example for sense 4.
Actually, "get an education" can be sense 1: acquire an education (acquire something abstract).

Let's think about "get an education". Does it fit sense 1 better or sense 4? Sense 4 is "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". Not really a treatment.
What about sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action; "You cannot get water out of a stone"; "Where did she get these news?"" No, sense 21 is more about fetching or obtaining something physical or extracting something.
Sense 1 is the most general "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract", and it fits "education" perfectly. "a decent education" is something you acquire/possess.

Let's double check.
"parents do want their children to get a decent education" -> acquire a decent education.

Could it be sense 7: "experience, receive, have -- go through (mental or physical states or experiences); "get an idea"; "experience vertigo"; "get nauseous"; "undergo a strange sensation"; "experience vertigo"" - wait, "get an idea" is under sense 7? No, "get an idea" in WordNet might be under sense 7 (experience). But "get an education" is more of an acquisition (sense 1). Actually, "acquire" is a synonym for sense 1. You acquire an education.

Let's review the sense 1 examples: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle", "They acquired a new pet".
Let's choose sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "decent" in the context "get a decent education as traditionally understood".
The context discusses parents wanting their children to get a "decent" education, as traditionally understood.
"decent education" means an education that is adequate, good enough, of a satisfactory standard.
Looking at the candidate senses:
1. socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous (nice) -> e.g., decent family
2. according with custom or propriety (decent, decorous) -> e.g., becoming modesty
3. conforming to conventions of sexual behavior
4. sufficient for the purpose (adequate, enough) -> e.g., an adequate income
5. decently clothed
6. observing conventional sexual mores

Sense 4 fits "decent education" as it means an adequate or good enough education. Wait, "decent education" often means a good or adequate education.
Let's check sense 4: "sufficient for the purpose | synonyms=adequate, enough | examples=an adequate income; the food was adequate"
In "decent education", it means an adequate education.
Is there another sense? Often "decent" can mean "of good quality", but in WordNet 3.0, the senses provided are:
1. decent%1:04:00:: (noun)
2. decent%3:00:00:: (adjective) conforming to conventions of sexual behavior
3. decent%5:00:00:respectable:00 (adjective) socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous
4. decent%5:00:00:proper:00 (adjective) according with custom or propriety
5. decent%5:00:00:sufficient:00 (adjective) sufficient for the purpose
6. decent%5:00:00:modest:01 (adjective) observing conventional sexual mores
7. decent%5:00:02:modest:01 (adjective) decently clothed

Wait, the sense index for "sufficient for the purpose" is index 4 in the provided list.
Let's verify if "decent education" means adequate. "get a decent education as traditionally understood" means a good, adequate education. Sense 4 seems to be the best fit.
Let's double check if there's any other sense. "decent" = "adequate".
So sense_index: 4.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "education" in the sense of what parents want for their children - "get a decent education as traditionally understood." It's referring to the process of acquiring knowledge, the institutional/systematic learning that children go through.

Sense 1: activities of educating or instructing (formal education, instruction)
Sense 2: knowledge acquired by learning and instruction (broad education)
Sense 3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge (preparation for life, girl's education)

The phrase "get a decent education" and "as traditionally understood" along with the discussion of "disciplined instruction" and the broader context about schooling and learning suggests this is about the process of education - the gradual process of acquiring knowledge (sense 3), which includes the example "a girl's education was less important than a boy's" referring to the educational process children go through.

Sense 1 focuses on the activities of instructing. Sense 3 focuses on the gradual process of acquiring knowledge. The context here is about children getting an education - the whole process they go through to become educated. "Get a decent education" aligns well with sense 3's examples about education as preparation for life.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Get a decent education" - this could be sense 1 (the activities/instruction) or sense 3 (the gradual process).

Sense 3's examples: "education is a preparation for life; a girl's education was less important than a boy's" - these refer to education as a process/experience that someone undergoes.

The context talks about what parents want for their children - the whole educational experience, which is the gradual process of acquiring knowledge. The phrase "get a decent education as traditionally understood" refers to the process of being educated.

I'll go with sense 3.

The target word is "know" in the sentence: "they have enough common sense to know what that demands."
The context is about parents understanding what a decent education demands.
"know what that demands" means to be cognizant or aware of a fact or specific piece of information. They possess the knowledge about what a decent education requires.
Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" fits perfectly. "I know that the President lied..."
Sense 2: "know how to do or perform something" - not quite.
Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something" - possible, but usually implies believing a proposition to be true beyond any doubt. Sense 1 is broader and better for "know what X demands" (possessing knowledge/information about what it demands).

Let's look at sense 1: "possess knowledge or information about"
"know what that demands" -> to possess knowledge about what a decent education demands.
This seems to be the best fit.

The target word is "commitment" in the context: "Their commitment to 'creativity' can not survive adolescent illiteracy."

Let's analyze the context.
Parents have a "commitment" to "creativity".
Here, "commitment" means dedication or allegiance to the idea of creativity.
Sense 1: "the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose"
Sense 2: "the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action" | synonyms=allegiance, loyalty, dedication | examples=his long commitment to public service
Sense 3: "an engagement by contract involving financial obligation"
Sense 4: "a message that makes a pledge"
Sense 5: "the official act of consigning a person to confinement"

"commitment to 'creativity'" matches Sense 2's example "his long commitment to public service" and synonym "dedication". They are intellectually or emotionally bound to the course of action of supporting creativity. Wait, could it be Sense 1? Sense 1 is "trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose". Sense 2 is "binding yourself to a course of action". Both are very close.
But "commitment to X" (creativity, public service) is exactly Sense 2's example "his long commitment to public service".
Let's look at Sense 2's definition: "the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action".
In this context, they have bound themselves to creativity.
Sense 1's example is "a man of energy and commitment", which is more about the personal trait rather than dedication to a specific cause like "commitment to public service" or "commitment to creativity".

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.
