The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "policy" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses educational reform, political leaders, and Gov. Bill Clinton advocating for "a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five"
 - Later it mentions "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30"
 - The context is about government action, plans of action for social groups (the country/government), and political decisions

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=policy%1:09:00::
    - definition: a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group
    - examples: "it was a policy of retribution; a politician keeps changing his policies"
    - This seems to fit general plans of action by groups or individuals

 2. sense_key=policy%1:10:00::
    - definition: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government
    - examples: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation"
    - This is specifically about government course of action

 3. sense_key=policy%1:10:02::
    - definition: written contract or certificate of insurance
    - synonyms: insurance policy, insurance
    - This is clearly about insurance, which doesn't fit the context at all

 The context is about Gov. Clinton proposing a "comprehensive child-development policy" - this is clearly a government plan of action.

 Now I need to decide between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" - broad, could include government
 - Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" - specific to government

 The context specifically mentions:
 - "political leaders"
 - "Gov. Bill Clinton"
 - "this country needs..."
 - "governors' conference"

 This is clearly referring to government policy. However, looking at the definitions:
 - Sense 2 mentions "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" - this seems to emphasize the rhetorical/argumentative aspect ("line of argument")
 - Sense 1 mentions "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" - this emphasizes the actual plan

 But wait, looking at the examples for sense 2: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation" - this suggests it's about the wisdom/prudence of government action.

 Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet structure:
 - policy%1:09:00:: is under noun.cognition (09)
 - policy%1:10:00:: is under noun.communication (10)
 - policy%1:10:02:: is under noun.communication (10) - insurance

 Sense 1 (09) is the general "plan of action" sense.
 Sense 2 (10) is the specific "line of argument rationalizing..." sense.

 In the context, Clinton is proposing an actual plan of action (a child-development policy), not just a line of argument. However, the text mentions "Gov. Clinton is advocating" which involves argumentation.

 But looking at the phrase "comprehensive child-development policy" - this refers to a systematic plan or course of action by the government.

 In WordNet, sense 1 is usually the more general sense covering government policies as plans of action. Sense 2 seems to be more specific to the rhetorical justification or the debate about prudence (note the example mentions "policy or impolicy" - impolicy means lack of wisdom/prudence).

 Actually, looking at the examples again:
 - Sense 1: "it was a policy of retribution; a politician keeps changing his policies"
 - Sense 2: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation"

 The context here is about announcing and advocating for a specific plan (child-development policy), not debating the wisdom (policy vs impolicy) of legislation.

 However, sense 2 is specifically about government, while sense 1 covers individuals or social groups (which would include governments).

 But wait, the target phrase is "comprehensive child-development policy" and "comprehensive development policy" - these refer to systematic government plans.

 Let me reconsider the WordNet senses. In WordNet 3.0 or similar:
 - Sense 1: a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group
 - Sense 2: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government

 The context is clearly about a government course of action (child-development policy for the country). But is it sense 1 or 2?

 The key difference seems to be that sense 2 focuses on the "line of argument" aspect - rationalizing the course of action. But in modern usage, "policy" usually means the actual plan/course of action itself when we talk about "child development policy" or "education policy."

 However, looking at the example for sense 2: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation" - this suggests sense 2 is about the concept of whether something is wise/prudent policy.

 But the Clinton example is about establishing a specific policy (a plan), not debating whether something is policy or impolicy.

 Actually, looking carefully at the text: "Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas announced that 'this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy...'"

 This is a proposed plan of action for the government/social group (the country).

 Sense 1 covers "social group" which would include the government/nation. Sense 2 is specifically about government.

 But sense 1 examples include "a politician keeps changing his policies" - which suggests political policies.

 I think sense 1 is the correct choice here because:
 1. It refers to a concrete plan of action (child-development policy)
 2. While it's governmental, it's not specifically about a "line of argument rationalizing" but rather the actual systematic plan
 3. The insurance sense (3) is clearly wrong

 Wait, I should check if there's any other nuance. The phrase "policy for children under five" suggests a systematic approach or plan.

 In many WSD datasets, "policy" in the context of government plans usually maps to sense 1 (the general plan of action), unless it's specifically about the rhetorical justification.

 But let me look at the definition of sense 2 again: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government"

 The text says Clinton is "advocating" extending the educational system. Advocacy involves argumentation. But the policy itself is the plan.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet sense distributions for "policy":
 - Sense 1 is the most common, covering general policies, plans of action
 - Sense 2 is more specific to the rhetorical/argumentative aspect
 - Sense 3 is insurance

 Given that the context mentions "comprehensive child-development policy" as something the country needs, and contrasts it with what governors need, this is clearly a general plan of action (sense 1), not specifically an insurance contract (sense 3) or a line of argument (sense 2).

 The mention of "policy or impolicy" in sense 2's example suggests that sense is about the quality/wisdom of the course of action, whereas sense 1 is about the actual adopted plan.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

 Wait, I want to double-check. Is there any chance sense 2 is correct? The text mentions "political leaders," "Gov. Clinton," "governors' conference" - all governmental contexts. But sense 1 explicitly includes "social group" which encompasses government.

 The definition of sense 2 as "a line of argument" seems to restrict it to rhetorical contexts, whereas here the policy is a substantive proposal for action.

 I believe sense 1 is correct.

 But let me reconsider the index numbers. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=policy%1:09:00::
 2. sense_key=policy%1:10:00::
 3. sense_key=policy%1:10:02::

 So index 1 is the 09 (cognition) sense - plan of action.
 Index 2 is the 10 (communication) sense - line of argument for government.
 Index 3 is the 10 (communication) sense - insurance.

 The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

 But I want to be absolutely sure. Let me think about whether "child-development policy" could be interpreted as a line of argument rationalizing government action. In political science, "policy" can refer to the articulated position. But the phrase "comprehensive... policy" suggests a comprehensive plan/system, not just an argument.

 Also, the sarcastic remark "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30" mirrors the structure of Clinton's statement, implying the same type of policy - a plan of action for development (though jokingly applied to governors).

 Therefore, sense 1 is definitely the right choice.

 Final check: Could it be sense 3 (insurance)? Absolutely not. There's no mention of insurance, contracts, or certificates.

 So the answer is sense_index 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "governors" (lemma: governor) in the given context.

Let me analyze the context carefully:

The passage discusses political leaders, education reform, and specifically mentions:
- "our political leaders"
- "Thus at the recent governors' conference on education, Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas announced..."
- "A comprehensive development policy for <t>governors</t> over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
- "What Gov. Clinton is advocating..."

The target word "governors" appears in the phrase "governors' conference on education" and then again in "governors over 30". The context is clearly about political leaders, specifically state governors (like Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas).

The candidate senses are:
1. governor%1:18:00:: = the head of a state government
2. governor%1:06:00:: = a control that maintains a steady speed in a machine (as by controlling the supply of fuel) | synonyms=regulator

Sense 1 refers to the political position/leader.
Sense 2 refers to a mechanical device.

Given the context about Gov. Bill Clinton, political leaders, a conference on education, and the sarcastic remark about "governors over 30", this is clearly referring to the political leaders sense.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1 (index 1).

I need to return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}, but with the correct index, which is 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "seem" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the 4 candidate senses provided.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is discussing educational reform and political leaders
- The specific sentence is: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would <t>seem</t> to be a more pressing need."
- This is a sarcastic/ironic comment suggesting that governors over 30 need development policies more than children under five
- The structure is: "X would seem to be Y" meaning "X appears to be Y" or "it appears that X is Y"

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=seem%2:39:00:: | definition=give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | synonyms=look, appear | examples=She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem
- This sense is about giving a certain impression or having a certain outward aspect
- Example: "She seems to be sleeping" - this is about appearance/look
- In our context, it's not about outward appearance or looking like something physically

2. sense_key=seem%2:39:01:: | definition=seem to be true, probable, or apparent | synonyms=appear | examples=It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad
- This sense is about appearing to be true, probable, or apparent
- Example: "It seems that he is very gifted" - this indicates an assessment of probability/truth
- Our sentence: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need" - this is saying it appears/probably is a more pressing need
- This fits well with "seem to be true, probable, or apparent"

3. sense_key=seem%2:42:00:: | definition=appear to exist | examples=There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now
- This is about existence ("there seems no reason")
- Our sentence doesn't fit this pattern - it's not "there seems..."

4. sense_key=seem%2:39:02:: | definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters
- This is subjective, about appearing to one's own mind
- Examples use first person "I seem..."
- Our sentence is not about the speaker's subjective experience or their own mind

Comparing sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1 focuses on outward aspect/impression (like looking a certain way)
- Sense 2 focuses on truth/probability/apparentness (epistemic modality)

The sentence "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need" is making a claim about what appears to be true or what is apparently the case - it's an epistemic judgment about the relative importance/urgency of the policy.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - this is often used with "look" and "appear" in the sense of visual or general impression
- Sense 2: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" - this is about the truth or probability of a proposition

The construction "would seem to be" is typically used to indicate that something appears to be the case (epistemic), not that it looks a certain way (perceptual).

However, looking at the examples:
- Sense 1: "She seems to be sleeping" - this could be either perceptual or epistemic
- Sense 2: "It seems that he is very gifted" - clearly epistemic

Our sentence: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need"

This is saying "it would appear that a comprehensive development policy... is a more pressing need" or "it seems probable/true that..."

This aligns with sense 2: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent"

But wait, let me check if sense 1 could work. Sense 1 is "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect". The example "She seems to be sleeping" fits both senses potentially.

Actually, looking at WordNet structure:
- seem%2:39:00:: is usually the "look/appear" sense (perceptual)
- seem%2:39:01:: is the "appear to be true" sense (epistemic)

In the sentence "A comprehensive development policy... would seem to be a more pressing need", the author is expressing an opinion about what is apparently true or what appears to be the case regarding priorities. It's not about the outward appearance of the policy.

The phrase "would seem" is often used to soften an assertion or to indicate that something appears to be true based on the evidence or logic presented.

Sense 2 definition: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent"
This matches perfectly.

Sense 1 definition: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect"
This would fit if we were talking about how something looks, but here we're talking about a judgment about priorities.

Therefore, sense 2 (index 2) is the best choice.

Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user wants the "sense_index" which corresponds to the numbered list:
1. sense_key=seem%2:39:00::
2. sense_key=seem%2:39:01::
3. sense_key=seem%2:42:00::
4. sense_key=seem%2:39:02::

So if I choose sense 2 from the list, the index is 2.

Let me double-check by looking at the specific WordNet senses:

seem%2:39:00:: - This is the "look, appear" sense (like "She seems happy")
seem%2:39:01:: - This is the "appear to be true" sense (like "It seems likely")
seem%2:42:00:: - This is the "appear to exist" sense (like "There seems to be a problem")
seem%2:39:02:: - This is the subjective sense (like "I seem to remember")

In the context: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."

This is equivalent to: "It would seem that a comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 is a more pressing need."

This is clearly the epistemic sense - about what appears to be true or probable.

Therefore, sense_index: 2.

Actually, looking at the examples again for sense 1: "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem"
And sense 2: "It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad"

The structure in our sentence is "X would seem to be Y" which is similar to sense 1's example "This appears to be a very difficult problem" but also similar to sense 2's general meaning.

However, "appear" in sense 1 is grouped with "look" (synonyms: look, appear), while sense 2 has synonyms just "appear".

The key distinction in WordNet is:
- Sense 1 (seem%2:39:00): perceptual appearance (looking like)
- Sense 2 (seem%2:39:01): epistemic appearance (appearing to be true/probable)

The sentence is making a judgment about what is a more pressing need - it's about the apparent truth of the matter, not about how something looks.

Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

One more check: could it be sense 4? "appear to one's own mind or opinion" - examples use "I seem..." which is not our case.

Could it be sense 3? "appear to exist" - this is for existential "there seems..." constructions.

So it's between 1 and 2.

The phrase "would seem to be" is a classic epistemic construction indicating that based on the evidence/logic, something appears to be the case. This is sense 2.

Final answer: {"sense_index": 2}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "more" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 The sentence is: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a <t>more</t> pressing need."

 Here, "more" is modifying the adjective "pressing" (which is part of the noun phrase "pressing need"). So "more pressing" means "to a greater extent pressing" or "more urgent/important."

 Looking at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=more%4:02:00:: | definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | synonyms=to a greater extent | examples=more interesting; more beautiful
 2. sense_key=more%4:02:01:: | definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now; they eat more than they should

 Let me analyze the difference:
 - Sense 1 seems to be about forming comparatives of adjectives and adverbs (like "more interesting", "more beautiful")
 - Sense 2 seems to be about the comparative of "much" (quantity/degree), often used with verbs or as a determiner/pronoun

 In the target sentence: "a more pressing need"
 - "pressing" is an adjective
 - "more" is forming the comparative of the adjective "pressing"
 - This matches sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs"

 Sense 2 examples show "he works more now" (modifying verb) and "they eat more than they should" (pronoun/determiner usage or adverbial).

 Actually, looking carefully at WordNet:
 - Sense 1 (more%4:02:00::) is typically the adverbial sense for forming comparatives of adjectives/adverbs (when "more" is used with adjectives/adverbs that don't take -er)
 - Sense 2 (more%4:02:01::) is the comparative of "much" - used when comparing quantities or degrees in a different way

 In "more pressing":
 - "pressing" is an adjective
 - "more" is functioning as an adverb modifying the adjective "pressing" to form the comparative degree
 - This aligns with sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs"

 The examples for sense 1 include "more interesting; more beautiful" - both are adjectives being modified by "more" to form comparatives.

 The examples for sense 2 include "he works more now" (comparative adverb of much) and "they eat more than they should" (comparative pronoun/determiner).

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense keys to make sure I understand the numbering correctly.

 In WordNet:
 - more%4:02:00:: is usually "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs"
 - more%4:02:01:: is usually "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent"

 In the phrase "more pressing":
 - "pressing" is an adjective
 - "more" is making it comparative
 - This is exactly what sense 1 describes.

 So the answer should be sense_index: 1.

 But wait, I need to be careful. Sometimes "more" before an adjective can be analyzed differently. Let me think about the syntax.

 "A comprehensive development policy... would seem to be a more pressing need."

 Here "more pressing" is a comparative adjective phrase modifying "need".

 Sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" - this fits because "pressing" is an adjective and "more" is forming its comparative.

 Sense 2: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" - this would fit if we were saying something like "more need" (meaning a greater amount of need), but here we have "more pressing" - the "more" is specifically comparative for the adjective "pressing", not comparative of "much" applied to "pressing need".

 Actually, looking at it again: "a more pressing need" could be parsed as:
 1. "more pressing" = comparative of "pressing" (adjective)
 2. "more" modifying "pressing need" as a whole? No, that doesn't make sense because "pressing need" is a noun phrase, and "more" before it would be a determiner/quantifier, but "pressing" is clearly being modified.

 The structure is: [a [more pressing] need]
 So "more" modifies "pressing" (adjective), and "more pressing" modifies "need".

 Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

 The answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

 - The word "need" here is being used as a noun (since it's preceded by "pressing" and the article "a")
 - The context suggests that such a policy for governors would be something necessary or required - a condition requiring relief or attention

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=need%1:26:00:: | definition=a condition requiring relief | synonyms=demand | examples=she satisfied his need for affection; God has no need of men to accomplish His work
    - This seems to fit. The context is saying that a policy for governors is a "condition requiring relief" - it's something that needs to be addressed or satisfied.

 2. sense_key=need%1:17:00:: | definition=anything that is necessary but lacking | synonyms=want | examples=he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs; I tried to supply his wants
    - This could also fit, as it refers to something necessary. However, the examples suggest more personal/material wants rather than abstract policy needs.

 3. sense_key=need%1:03:00:: | definition=the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior | synonyms=motivation, motive
    - This is about psychological motivation, which doesn't fit the context of a policy need.

 4. sense_key=need%1:26:01:: | definition=a state of extreme poverty or destitution | synonyms=indigence, penury...
    - This is about poverty, which clearly doesn't fit here.

 Between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - Sense 1: "a condition requiring relief" - this fits well with "pressing need" in the context of policy. A pressing need is a condition that requires relief/attention.
 - Sense 2: "anything that is necessary but lacking" - this is more about lacking something, like "he has needs" (material needs).

 In the sentence: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
 - The author is saying that such a policy is something that is required/needed - it's a condition requiring relief (relief in the sense of remedy or solution).
 - The word "pressing" suggests urgency, which aligns with "condition requiring relief."

 Looking at the examples for sense 1: "she satisfied his need for affection" - this is a condition requiring relief (the need for affection requires satisfaction/relief).
 "God has no need of men" - no condition requiring relief.

 For sense 2: "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs" - these are things necessary but lacking (that he must acquire).

 In the target sentence, the "need" is for a policy - it's a requirement, a condition that calls for action/relief. It's not necessarily something "lacking" in the sense of a personal want, but rather a societal requirement.

 Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet distinctions:
 - Sense 1 (need%1:26:00::) is often used for "a need for something" - a requirement, demand.
 - Sense 2 (need%1:17:00::) is for "a need" as in something needed, a necessity.

 The phrase "pressing need" commonly collocates with sense 1 (condition requiring relief).

 Also, looking at the structure: "a more pressing need" - the indefinite article suggests a countable noun sense. Both 1 and 2 are countable.

 But sense 1 has the synonym "demand" which fits well here - a policy for governors is a demand/requirement of the situation.

 Sense 2 has synonym "want" which suggests something desired but not necessarily urgent or demanding relief.

 The context is sarcastic/critical - suggesting that governors need development more than children under 5. It's saying that improving governors is a more pressing requirement/condition requiring attention (relief) than the policy Clinton proposed.

 I think sense 1 is the best fit: "a condition requiring relief" where relief means remedy or solution.

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense keys to make sure I understand the numbering:
 - need%1:26:00:: - this is the first sense (noun.state)
 - need%1:17:00:: - this is the second sense (noun.artifact? noun.object?)
 - need%1:03:00:: - noun.cognition
 - need%1:26:01:: - noun.state (poverty)

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet:
 - need.n.01: a condition requiring relief (as in "there is a need for...")
 - need.n.02: anything that is necessary but lacking (as in "meet one's needs")
 - need.n.03: motivation/motive
 - need.n.04: indigence/poverty

 In the context: "a more pressing need" - this is parallel to "there is a need for..."
 The phrase "pressing need" is an extremely common collocation with sense 1.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=need%1:26:00::
 2. sense_key=need%1:17:00::
 3. sense_key=need%1:03:00::
 4. sense_key=need%1:26:01::

 So the index numbers correspond to the order given: 1, 2, 3, 4.

 I should return {"sense_index": 1}

 Let me verify once more by looking at the specific context:
 "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."

 Is this:
 1. A condition requiring relief? Yes - the situation requires relief in the form of this policy.
 2. Anything necessary but lacking? Maybe, but less precise.
 3. Psychological feature? No.
 4. Poverty? No.

 The author is saying that governors over 30 need development (are immature/uneducated), so a policy for them is a pressing requirement/condition that needs to be addressed.

 Yes, sense 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "extending" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses Gov. Bill Clinton advocating for a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five.
 - The specific sentence is: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is <t>extending</t> the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years."
 - This means expanding the scope/range of the educational system to include younger children (pre-kindergarten).

 Now let me look at the candidate senses:

 1. extend%2:30:01:: - extend in scope or range or area; synonyms=widen, broaden
    - This seems very relevant. The educational system is being widened/broadened to include pre-kindergarten years.

 2. extend%2:42:03:: - stretch out over a distance, space, time, or scope; run or extend between two points
    - This is more about physical extension or running between points.

 3. extend%2:42:01:: - span an interval of distance, space or time
    - This is about covering a time period or distance.

 4. extend%2:40:05:: - make available; provide
    - Not relevant here.

 5. extend%2:29:01:: - thrust or extend out (physical action)
    - Not relevant.

 6. extend%2:42:02:: - reach outward in space
    - Physical spatial extension.

 7. extend%2:40:04:: - offer verbally
    - Not relevant.

 8. extend%2:29:00:: - extend one's limbs (physical stretching)
    - Not relevant.

 9. extend%2:30:09:: - expand the influence of
    - This could work, but "expand the influence" seems more about power/influence rather than scope of a system.

 10. extend%2:30:02:: - lengthen in time; cause to be or last longer
     - This is about duration, not scope/range.

 11. extend%2:38:10:: - extend or stretch out to a greater or the full length (physical)
     - Not relevant.

 12. extend%2:38:14:: - cause to move at full gallop
     - Not relevant.

 13. extend%2:35:10:: - open or straighten out; unbend
     - Not relevant.

 14. extend%2:34:00:: - use to the utmost; exert vigorously
     - Not relevant.

 15. extend%2:30:15:: - prolong the time allowed for payment
     - Not relevant.

 16. extend%2:30:06:: - continue or extend (carry on)
     - This could be close, but "carry" suggests continuation rather than expansion to new areas.

 17. extend%2:30:12:: - increase in quantity or bulk by adding a cheaper substance
     - Not relevant.

 The best fit seems to be sense 1: "extend in scope or range or area" with synonyms "widen, broaden".

 The context is about broadening the educational system to include pre-kindergarten years - this is clearly about scope/range/area of coverage, not about time duration (sense 10) or physical stretching.

 Sense 1 examples: "The law was extended to all citizens; widen the range of applications" - this matches perfectly with extending the educational system down to pre-kindergarten years.

 Sense 16 "continue or extend" with example "The civil war carried into the neighboring province" is about continuation into adjacent areas, but sense 1 is more about expanding the scope/range to include new categories (pre-kindergarten children).

 Actually, looking more carefully:
 - Sense 1: extend in scope or range or area (widen, broaden)
 - Sense 16: continue or extend (carry) - "The civil war carried into the neighboring province"

 The example for sense 16 suggests geographical or logical continuation into adjacent territory. But in the context, we're talking about expanding the scope of the educational system to cover a new age group (pre-kindergarten). This is more about broadening the range/scope (sense 1) than continuing into an adjacent province (sense 16).

 Also, sense 9 "expand the influence of" - this is about influence/power, not quite right.

 So sense 1 is the best choice.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 10: "lengthen in time; cause to be or last longer" - this is about duration. But pre-kindergarten comes before kindergarten, so it's not extending the time duration of education, but rather lowering the age range - expanding scope to include younger children.

 Actually, looking at the phrase "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years" - this could be interpreted as expanding the scope downward to include earlier years.

 Sense 1 definition: "extend in scope or range or area"
 Examples: "The law was extended to all citizens; widen the range of applications"

 This fits perfectly. The educational system is being widened/broadened to include pre-kindergarten years.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "educational" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses a governors' conference on education
 - Gov. Bill Clinton advocates extending the "educational" system down to pre-kindergarten years
 - The author argues this is a child-care program, not an educational program
 - The context is about the formal system of education (schools, institutions, etc.)

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=educational%3:01:00:: | definition=relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology
    - This sense refers to relating to education as a system, process, or field
    - "Educational system" is a common collocation referring to the institutional framework of schooling

 2. sense_key=educational%5:00:00:instructive:00 | definition=providing knowledge | examples=an educational film
    - This sense refers to something that educates or instructs, having the quality of teaching
    - Examples like "educational film" suggest something designed to teach or inform

 In the context: "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years"
 - Here "educational" modifies "system"
 - It refers to the formal system of education (schools, institutions)
 - This is about the process/institution of education, not about something that provides knowledge in the sense of being instructive

 The phrase "educational system" clearly maps to sense 1: relating to the process of education (the institutional/systemic aspect).

 Sense 2 would apply if we were talking about something like "an educational experience" or "educational toys" - things that provide knowledge or instruction. But here we're talking about the "educational system" - the formal structure of schooling.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "system" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses education policy
 - Gov. Bill Clinton is advocating extending the "educational system" down to pre-kindergarten years
 - The context is about extending the existing educational structure/organization to younger children
 - It's referring to the educational system as an organized structure or institution

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=system%1:06:00:: - instrumentality combining artifacts (like stereo system, computer system) - This is physical/technical systems. Not right for "educational system".

 2. sense_key=system%1:14:00:: - a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (synonyms: scheme) - examples mention production/distribution/consumption. This could work for educational system as a social/economic system.

 3. sense_key=system%1:27:00:: - physical chemistry definition - clearly wrong.

 4. sense_key=system%1:09:00:: - a complex of methods or rules governing behavior (system of rules) - examples mention operating under a system, language system. This is about rules/methods.

 5. sense_key=system%1:09:02:: - an organized structure for arranging or classifying (arrangement, organization) - examples mention arrangement of topics, organization of facts. This seems more about classification/organization schemes.

 6. sense_key=system%1:08:00:: - physiological/anatomical organs - biological system. Wrong.

 7. sense_key=system%1:09:01:: - a procedure or process for obtaining an objective - examples mention devising a system. This is about methods/procedures.

 8. sense_key=system%1:08:01:: - living body considered as made up of components - biological again. Wrong.

 9. sense_key=system%1:07:00:: - ordered manner; orderliness; methodical organization - examples mention compulsive organization, establishing system. This is about the quality of being systematic.

 Now, "educational system" in the context of extending it to pre-kindergarten years refers to the institutional framework or organized structure of education.

 Looking at sense 2: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole" with examples like "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going". This seems to fit social systems like the educational system.

 Looking at sense 4: "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" - this could also fit, as education involves methods and rules.

 Looking at sense 5: "an organized structure for arranging or classifying" - this seems more about classification systems.

 The phrase "educational system" typically refers to the organized institution/structure comprising schools, policies, administration, etc. - a group of interrelated elements (schools, teachers, administrators, policies) working together.

 Sense 2 (system%1:14:00::) seems most appropriate for "educational system" as a social/organizational system comprising interrelated elements.

 However, let me reconsider. The context says "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years." This suggests the existing structure/organization of education.

 Sense 2 examples: "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going" - this is about economic systems, similar to educational systems as social institutions.

 Sense 4: "they have to operate under a system they oppose" - this is more about abstract systems of rules.

 Sense 9: "we can't do it unless we establish some system around here" - this is about method/order.

 Actually, looking carefully at WordNet sense 2 (system%1:14:00::): "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole" - this is the "system" as in "ecosystem", "solar system", "economic system". The educational system fits here as a complex of interrelated institutions/elements.

 But wait, there's also sense 4: "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" - synonym "system of rules". Educational systems do involve methods and rules.

 However, in common parlance, "the educational system" refers to the institutional framework (schools, districts, etc.) - which is a group of interrelated elements (sense 2).

 Let me check the WordNet hierarchy:
 - sense 2 is under noun.group (1:14)
 - sense 4 is under noun.cognition (1:09)

 "Educational system" as an institution is definitely a group/organization of elements.

 Also, looking at the example in sense 2: "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption" - this parallels "educational system" as a social organization.

 I think sense 2 is the best fit.

 Wait, I should double-check sense 4 vs sense 2. Sense 4 is "system of rules" - like "the metric system", "a system of government". Sense 2 is more about the physical or organizational entity comprising parts.

 Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully:
 - system%1:14:00:: is the "scheme" sense - "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole"
 - system%1:09:00:: is "system of rules"

 For "educational system", we usually mean the organized set of institutions, which fits sense 2.

 But let me reconsider the context. The text mentions "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years." This treats the educational system as something that can be extended, like an organized structure.

 Actually, looking at the examples again:
 - Sense 2: "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going"
 - Sense 4: "they have to operate under a system they oppose; that language has a complex system for indicating gender"

 "Educational system" is closer to the economic system example in sense 2 than to the language system (which is sense 4, about rules/methods).

 However, there's also sense 5: "an organized structure for arranging or classifying" - but this seems to be about classification schemes, not institutional systems.

 I think sense 2 (index 2) is correct.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=system%1:06:00::
 2. sense_key=system%1:14:00::
 3. sense_key=system%1:27:00::
 4. sense_key=system%1:09:00::
 5. sense_key=system%1:09:02::
 6. sense_key=system%1:08:00::
 7. sense_key=system%1:09:01::
 8. sense_key=system%1:08:01::
 9. sense_key=system%1:07:00::

 So index 2 corresponds to system%1:14:00::.

 But let me reconsider if "educational system" might be sense 4. In WordNet, "educational system" is often linked to sense 2 (the group/organization sense). For example, "the public school system" refers to the organized set of institutions.

 Actually, looking at the definition of sense 4 again: "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" - this could include educational systems as methods of teaching/learning.

 But the context emphasizes extending the existing structure to younger ages, which suggests the institutional framework.

 I think index 2 is the best choice.

 Let me verify by checking if there's any other interpretation. Could it be sense 9 (orderliness)? No, "extending the educational orderliness" doesn't make sense. Sense 7 (procedure/process)? "extending the educational procedure" - possible but less likely than the institutional sense. Sense 5 (arrangement/classifying)? No.

 So it's between 2 and 4. Sense 2 is about the entity comprising elements. Sense 4 is about methods/rules. "Educational system" as an institution is sense 2.

 Final answer: {"sense_index": 2}

The text discusses political leaders and education policy. Specifically, it mentions Gov. Bill Clinton advocating for extending the educational system down to pre-kindergarten years. Then it says: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

The usage here is questioning whether this policy (extending education to pre-kindergarten) is "worth having" or "worth seeking/achieving" - i.e., whether it is a good thing, beneficial, or something to be desired.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=desirable%3:00:00:: | definition=worth having or seeking or achieving | examples=a desirable job; computer with many desirable features
   - This sense refers to something being worth having, beneficial, or good to have.
   - Examples: a desirable job, desirable features.

2. sense_key=desirable%5:00:00:eligible:00 | definition=worthy of being chosen especially as a spouse | synonyms=suitable, worthy | examples=the parents found the girl suitable for their son
   - This sense is specifically about being suitable as a spouse or partner.
   - Synonyms: suitable, worthy (in the context of marriage/selection).

In the context provided, the word "desirable" is used to question whether the policy is good/beneficial/worth having ("Whether desirable or not"). This clearly aligns with sense 1 - "worth having or seeking or achieving."

Sense 2 is about being suitable as a spouse, which makes no sense in this context about education policy and child-care programs.

Therefore, the correct sense is index 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "program" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is discussing Gov. Bill Clinton's proposal for "a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five"
 - The author argues that what Clinton is advocating is "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years"
 - The key sentence is: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care <t>program</t>, not an educational program."

 So the target word "program" refers to a child-care program or educational program - essentially a system of services or projects intended to meet a public need (child-care or education).

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=program%1:09:00:: - "a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished" (synonyms: plan, programme)
    - This is more about a plan or scheme of action. While related, the context seems to be referring to an actual service/system rather than just a plan.

 2. sense_key=program%1:09:01:: - "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" (synonyms: programme)
    - Examples: "he proposed an elaborate program of public works; working mothers rely on the day care program"
    - This fits very well! The example mentions "day care program" which is exactly what "child-care program" is. The definition mentions "system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" - child-care is a public need/service.

 3. sense_key=program%1:10:01:: - "a radio or television show"
    - Not relevant here.

 4. sense_key=program%1:10:04:: - "a document stating the aims and principles of a political party"
    - Not relevant here, though it's political context, it's not referring to a party platform.

 5. sense_key=program%1:10:00:: - "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event"
    - Not relevant.

 6. sense_key=program%1:10:05:: - "an integrated course of academic studies" (synonyms: course of study, curriculum, syllabus)
    - The text contrasts "child-care program" with "educational program" - so if "educational program" would fit this sense (curriculum/academic studies), then "child-care program" would be different. But actually, the text says "this is a child-care program, not an educational program" - distinguishing between two types of programs. However, sense 6 is specifically about academic studies/curriculum, while the child-care program is more about a service system.

 7. sense_key=program%1:10:02:: - "(computer science) a sequence of instructions..."
    - Not relevant.

 8. sense_key=program%1:04:00:: - "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation"
    - Not relevant.

 So the best fit is sense 2: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" with the example specifically mentioning "day care program" which is synonymous with "child-care program" in the context.

 Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=program%1:09:00::
 2. sense_key=program%1:09:01::
 3. sense_key=program%1:10:01::
 etc.

 So sense 2 corresponds to "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need".

 The context is about a "child-care program" which is clearly a system of services to meet a public need (child care). The example "working mothers rely on the day care program" is almost exactly parallel to the context.

 Therefore, the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "educational" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text discusses Gov. Clinton advocating for extending the educational system down to pre-kindergarten years.
- The author argues that this is "a child-care program, not an <t>educational</t> program."
- The distinction being made is between something being merely childcare vs. being related to the process of education/schooling.
- The author mentions "very early exposure to schooling" and whether the program is educational in nature.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=educational%3:01:00:: | definition=relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology
   - This refers to something related to the system or process of education/schooling.

2. sense_key=educational%5:00:00:instructive:00 | definition=providing knowledge | examples=an educational film
   - This refers to something that educates or instructs, providing knowledge.

In the context, the author is distinguishing between a "child-care program" and an "educational program." The contrast is between mere care/supervision vs. formal schooling/educational system. The author says "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

Here, "educational program" means a program that is part of the formal education system or relates to the process of education/schooling, as opposed to just childcare.

Sense 1 ("relating to the process of education") fits better because:
- It's about whether the program belongs to the educational system (schooling)
- The text mentions "extending the educational system" and contrasts it with childcare
- It's about the institutional/systemic aspect of education rather than just whether it provides knowledge

Sense 2 ("providing knowledge") is more about the instructive quality of something. While an educational program would provide knowledge, the distinction being drawn here is specifically about whether it's part of the formal education system vs. childcare.

Wait, let me reconsider. The author says "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance..." and talks about "extending the educational system."

The question is: is the author saying it's not "relating to the process of education" (sense 1) or not "providing knowledge" (sense 2)?

Actually, looking carefully: "this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

In common usage, when we distinguish childcare from educational programs, we usually mean:
- Childcare = supervision, keeping kids safe
- Educational = related to school, learning, the education system

But sense 2 is "providing knowledge" - an educational film provides knowledge but isn't necessarily part of the school system.

However, the context mentions "extending the educational system" and "exposure to schooling." This strongly suggests sense 1 - relating to the process/system of education.

Also, looking at the examples:
- Sense 1: "educational psychology" - psychology related to education as a system/process
- Sense 2: "an educational film" - a film that teaches you something

In the sentence "not an educational program", given the context about schooling and the education system, sense 1 seems more appropriate.

But I should check the WordNet indices. The user asks for the sense index. The options are numbered 1 and 2 in the prompt.

Sense 1: educational%3:01:00::
Sense 2: educational%5:00:00:instructive:00

In WordNet, adjectives have different satellite systems. Sense 1 is the "pertainym" or relational adjective sense (relating to education). Sense 2 is the "instructive" sense.

Given the context contrasting childcare with the educational system/schooling, sense 1 is the better fit.

Therefore, the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "program" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context carefully:

The passage discusses Gov. Bill Clinton advocating for extending the educational system to pre-kindergarten years. The key sentence is: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational <t>program</t>."

The author is distinguishing between a "child-care program" and an "educational program." The context is about public policy, specifically child development policy and education.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=program%1:09:00:: | definition=a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished | synonyms=plan, programme | examples=they drew up a six-step plan; they discussed plans for a new bond issue
- This is a general plan. While possible, the context seems more specific.

2. sense_key=program%1:09:01:: | definition=a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need | synonyms=programme | examples=he proposed an elaborate program of public works; working mothers rely on the day care program
- This mentions "day care program" as an example! The context explicitly mentions "child-care program" and "educational program" in the context of public policy (governors' conference, child-development policy). This seems like a very strong match.

3. sense_key=program%1:10:01:: | definition=a radio or television show | synonyms=broadcast, programme
- Not relevant here.

4. sense_key=program%1:10:04:: | definition=a document stating the aims and principles of a political party | synonyms=platform, political platform, political program
- This is about a political platform. While politicians are mentioned, the specific use here is about child-care/educational services, not a party platform.

5. sense_key=program%1:10:00:: | definition=an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event | synonyms=programme
- Not relevant.

6. sense_key=program%1:10:05:: | definition=an integrated course of academic studies | synonyms=course of study, programme, curriculum, syllabus | examples=he was admitted to a new program at the university
- This is about academic curriculum/programs at universities. The context mentions "educational system" and "pre-kindergarten," but is it referring to a curriculum? The contrast is between "child-care program" and "educational program." However, sense 2's example "working mothers rely on the day care program" seems more directly applicable to public services. Also, sense 6 is specifically an integrated course of academic studies (like a university major), which doesn't quite fit pre-kindergarten.

7. sense_key=program%1:10:02:: | definition=(computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute
- Not relevant.

8. sense_key=program%1:04:00:: | definition=a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation
- Not relevant.

So it's between sense 1 and sense 2, possibly sense 6.

Sense 2: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" with the example "working mothers rely on the day care program." The context is exactly about child-care and educational services as public policy. The phrase "child-care program" appears in the text, and the example includes "day care program." This is a system of services intended to meet a public need (child care/education).

Sense 1: "a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished" - this is more like a plan. While Clinton's proposal could be called a plan, the specific contrast between "child-care program" and "educational program" in the context of public services strongly points to sense 2.

Sense 6: "an integrated course of academic studies" - this is specifically about academic curriculum (like a degree program). Pre-kindergarten wouldn't typically be called an "integrated course of academic studies" in the WordNet sense, which is more like a university program.

The context: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

The author is saying Clinton's proposal is child-care services, not educational services. This maps perfectly to sense 2: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need."

Therefore, the best sense is index 2.

Wait, let me double-check the indexing. The user lists:
1. sense_key=program%1:09:00::
2. sense_key=program%1:09:01::
3. sense_key=program%1:10:01::
4. sense_key=program%1:10:04::
5. sense_key=program%1:10:00::
6. sense_key=program%1:10:05::
7. sense_key=program%1:10:02::
8. sense_key=program%1:04:00::

So sense 2 is program%1:09:01::.

Actually, looking at the WordNet sense keys:
- program%1:09:00:: is noun.cognition (plan)
- program%1:09:01:: is noun.cognition (system of projects or services)
- program%1:10:01:: is noun.communication (broadcast)
- program%1:10:04:: is noun.communication (political platform)
- program%1:10:00:: is noun.communication (theatrical program)
- program%1:10:05:: is noun.communication (curriculum)
- program%1:10:02:: is noun.communication (computer program)
- program%1:04:00:: is noun.act (performance)

Wait, actually in WordNet:
- program%1:09:00:: = plan, program, programme
- program%1:09:01:: = program, programme = a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need
- program%1:10:00:: = program, programme = a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation [noun.act? No, noun.communication? Wait, let me check... actually %1:04:00 is noun.act? No, 1:04 is noun.act? Let me recall WordNet lexicographer file numbers...]

Actually, the sense keys provided in the prompt are:
1. program%1:09:00::
2. program%1:09:01::
3. program%1:10:01::
4. program%1:10:04::
5. program%1:10:00::
6. program%1:10:05::
7. program%1:10:02::
8. program%1:04:00::

The numbers after %1: are the lexicographer file numbers. 09 is noun.cognition, 10 is noun.communication, 04 is noun.act? Actually:
- 04: noun.act
- 09: noun.cognition
- 10: noun.communication
- 14: noun.event? No...

But regardless, the prompt gives the definitions and examples. Sense 2 has the example "working mothers rely on the day care program" which is extremely close to "child-care program" in the text. The definition "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" fits perfectly with educational/child-care services provided by the government.

Sense 6 (program%1:10:05::) is "an integrated course of academic studies" with example "he was admitted to a new program at the university." This is more like a specific academic track or degree program, not a general public service system.

The context is about public policy (governors' conference, country needs policy, extending educational system). The word "program" here refers to a government initiative/service system.

Therefore, sense index 2 is the correct choice.
