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

Context analysis:
- The sentence is: "We <t>know</t> that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
- The context is about educational policy and research findings.
- The speaker is stating a fact or piece of information: that early exposure to schooling improves first-grade performance, but the effect fades later.
- This is about possessing knowledge or information about a fact.

Now between sense 1 and sense 3:
- Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
- Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

The context: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance..."
This is stating a research finding or empirical fact. It's about possessing information/knowledge about educational outcomes.

Sense 1 examples: "I know that the President lied to the people" - this is very similar to the context "We know that very early exposure..."
Sense 3 examples: "I know that I left the key on the table" (personal certainty), "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" (scientific truth with certainty)

Both seem plausible. However, sense 1 focuses on "possess knowledge or information about" which fits better with the empirical research context (we have evidence/data showing this). Sense 3 emphasizes "belief or faith" and "regard as true beyond any doubt" which has a slightly different connotation - more about subjective certainty or conviction.

In academic/writing contexts like this, when citing research findings ("we know that..."), it's typically sense 1: possessing factual knowledge/information.

Also, looking at the WordNet sense numbering:
- know%2:31:01:: is usually the first/main sense for propositional knowledge
- know%2:31:02:: is often the "be aware of the truth of" sense

The example for sense 1 "I know that the President lied to the people" matches the syntactic structure "know that + clause" perfectly, just like the target sentence.

The distinction between sense 1 and 3 is subtle. Sense 3 often implies a deeper conviction or acceptance of truth (like knowing a scientific fact with certainty), while sense 1 is more general "possess knowledge/information about."

Given the context is about educational research findings (empirical knowledge), and the structure "know that [fact]", sense 1 seems the most appropriate.

Wait, let me double-check the exact WordNet definitions and typical distinctions.

Sense 1 (know%2:31:01): be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about
- Frames: [cognition]
- Examples: "I know that the President lied to the people"; "I want to know who is winning the game!"

Sense 3 (know%2:31:02): be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt
- Frames: [cognition]
- Examples: "I know that I left the key on the table"; "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun"

Actually, looking at the examples, sense 3 seems to include scientific knowledge ("Galileo knew that the earth moves..."). The context here is similar - it's about knowing educational research findings.

But sense 1 is the most general "possess knowledge about a fact" sense. In WSD tasks, "know that" clauses typically map to sense 1 when it's about having information, and sense 3 when it's about being convinced of the truth.

However, in this specific text, the author is stating what is known from research - it's factual knowledge.

Looking at the sentence structure: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance..."
This is a that-clause complement.

In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
- Sense 1: know, cognize, cognise (be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about)
- Sense 2: know (know how to do or perform something)
- Sense 3: know (be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt)

The key difference: Sense 3 specifically mentions "regard as true beyond any doubt" and "have a belief or faith in". This suggests a mental state of conviction.

Sense 1 is more about the state of having the information.

In the context: "We know that very early exposure..." - this is presenting research findings as established knowledge. This aligns with sense 1 (possessing knowledge/information).

Also, later in the text: "Let us sum up what we do know about education..." - this reinforces that it's about possessed knowledge/information.

I think sense 1 is the best fit.

But I should verify the sense indices. The user lists:
1. sense_key=know%2:31:01::
2. sense_key=know%2:31:03::
3. sense_key=know%2:31:02::
4. sense_key=know%2:31:00::
5. sense_key=know%2:31:04::
6. sense_key=know%2:31:06::
7. sense_key=know%2:31:15::
8. sense_key=know%2:31:11::
9. sense_key=know%2:31:12::
10. sense_key=know%2:31:14::

Wait, the indices seem mixed up. Let me check:
- The first one listed is index 1: know%2:31:01::
- The second is index 2: know%2:31:03::
- The third is index 3: know%2:31:02::
- The fourth is index 4: know%2:31:00::
- etc.

So if I choose sense_key=know%2:31:01::, that corresponds to index 1.
If I choose sense_key=know%2:31:02::, that corresponds to index 3.

Given my analysis, I believe the correct sense is know%2:31:01:: (be cognizant or aware of a fact...), which is listed as index 1.

However, I should reconsider if sense 3 (know%2:31:02::) might be better. The example "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" is very similar to the pattern here: "[Subject] know that [scientific/educational fact]".

But sense 1 also has "I know that the President lied to the people" which follows the same pattern.

The distinction in WordNet is often that sense 1 is the general "cognize" sense, while sense 3 is specific to "be aware of the truth of something" with connotations of conviction.

Actually, looking carefully at the WordNet entry for know (verb cognition):
- Sense 1: know, cognize, cognise (be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about)
- Sense 2: know (know how to do or perform something)
- Sense 3: know (be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt)

In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "know that" constructions often map to sense 1.

But let's look at the specific context again. The sentence is discussing empirical evidence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance..." This is a statement of fact based on research.

Both senses could work, but sense 1 is the broader, more general sense for propositional knowledge, while sense 3 emphasizes the "truth" and "belief" aspect. Since this is about educational research findings (empirical knowledge), sense 1 is safer.

Also, the instruction says "Do not hedge. Choose the single best indexed sense."

I will go with index 1.

Wait, I need to double-check the mapping. The user lists:
Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=know%2:31:01::
2. sense_key=know%2:31:03::
3. sense_key=know%2:31:02::
...

So:
- Index 1 -> know%2:31:01::
- Index 2 -> know%2:31:03::
- Index 3 -> know%2:31:02::

If I think know%2:31:01:: is correct, I should return {"sense_index": 1}.
If I think know%2:31:02:: is correct, I should return {"sense_index": 3}.

Given the analysis, I believe the target sense is know%2:31:01::, so the answer is index 1.

One final check: Is there any possibility it's sense 5 (experience)? "We know that very early exposure..." - no, this is not about experiencing the exposure, but about having the information/knowledge that it improves performance.

Is it sense 6 (acknowledge)? No.

Is it sense 10 (distinguish)? No, that's "know right from wrong" or "know X from Y".

So it's between 1 and 3.

In WordNet, sense 3 (02) is often used for "know that" where the object is a truth proposition that is accepted as true. But sense 1 is also used for "know that".

Actually, looking at the gloss for sense 3 again: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

The phrase "regard as true beyond any doubt" suggests a subjective stance of certainty. The context here is about empirical research findings ("improves performance... is quickly washed away"). This is presented as objective knowledge, not subjective conviction.

Therefore, sense 1 (possess knowledge or information about) is better.

Final answer: {"sense_index": 1}

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

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

Here, "very" modifies "early" (which is an adjective/modifier meaning "happening or done before the usual or expected time"). "Very" is intensifying the degree of "earlyness" - it's not just early, it's "very early" (extremely early).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=very%4:02:00:: | definition=used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | synonyms=really, real, rattling | examples=she was very gifted; he played very well
2. sense_key=very%4:02:01:: | definition=precisely so | examples=on the very next page; he expected the very opposite

Analysis:
Sense 1 is the intensifier sense - "very" modifies adjectives or adverbs to indicate a high degree. Examples: "very gifted", "played very well" - here "very" intensifies "gifted" and "well".

Sense 2 is the "precisely so" sense - indicating exactness or identity. Examples: "the very next page" (meaning the exact next page), "the very opposite" (meaning the exact opposite).

In the target sentence, "very early" means "extremely early" or "to a high degree early" - this is clearly the intensifier function, not the "precisely so" function. It's not saying "the precisely early" or "the exact early", but rather modifying the degree of earliness.

Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

The user wants a JSON object like {"sense_index": 1} (where 1 corresponds to the first sense in the list, which is sense_key=very%4:02:00::).

Wait, looking at the instructions: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

This suggests I should return the index number corresponding to the position in the candidate list. Since there are two candidates:
1. sense_key=very%4:02:00::
2. sense_key=very%4:02:01::

The correct one is the first one, so index 1.

Final check:
- Context: "very early exposure"
- "Very" here intensifies "early"
- Sense 1: intensifier sense (she was very gifted; he played very well)
- Sense 2: precisely so (on the very next page)

Yes, definitely sense 1.

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

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

 The phrase "very early exposure to schooling" refers to exposure at a young age or at an early stage of life/development. It's talking about when children are exposed to schooling - specifically at a young age (pre-kindergarten years as mentioned earlier in the text).

 Let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. early%3:00:00:: - at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time
    - Examples: early morning; an early warning
    - This is about temporal position relative to a time period or expected time.

 2. early%3:00:02:: - being or occurring at an early stage of development
    - Examples: in an early stage; early forms of life
    - This is about developmental stages.

 3. early%5:00:00:past:00 - belonging to the distant past
    - Examples: the early inhabitants of Europe; former generations
    - This is historical/archaeological context.

 4. early%5:00:00:young:00 - very young
    - Examples: at an early age
    - This specifically refers to age/youth.

 5. early%3:00:01:: - of an early stage in the development of a language or literature
    - Examples: Early Hebrew, Early Modern English
    - Specific to languages/literature.

 6. early%5:00:01:future:00 - expected in the near future
    - Examples: look for an early end to the negotiations
    - About future events happening soon.

 In the context "very early exposure to schooling", the word "early" is modifying "exposure" and refers to the age at which exposure happens. The text is discussing "pre-kindergarten years" and children "under five". This is about being young in age.

 Sense 4 (early%5:00:00:young:00) with definition "very young" and example "at an early age" seems to fit best. The phrase "early exposure" here means exposure at a young age.

 However, let me also consider sense 1: "at or near the beginning of a period of time..." - could this fit? "Early exposure" could mean exposure at the beginning of one's life/education. But the specific mention of age (children under five, pre-kindergarten) strongly points to the "young" sense.

 Sense 2: "being or occurring at an early stage of development" - this could also fit, as childhood is a stage of development. But sense 4 is more specific about age.

 Looking at the examples:
 - Sense 4: "at an early age" - this matches the context perfectly because "early exposure to schooling" for children under five is exposure at an early age.

 The context emphasizes the age of the children ("children under five", "pre-kindergarten years", "first grade"), so the sense relating to being young (sense 4) is most appropriate.

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet senses. In WordNet, "early" as an adjective (which it is here, modifying "exposure"):

 Actually, looking at the sense keys:
 - early%3:00:00:: is the first sense (usually the most common)
 - early%5:00:00:young:00 - the %5 indicates it's an adjective satellite, and the synonyms include "young"

 The phrase "at an early age" is the example for sense 4. The text says "very early exposure to schooling" which is equivalent to "exposure to schooling at a very early age".

 Therefore, sense 4 is the best match.

 But wait, I should check if sense 1 could be correct. Sense 1 is "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time". If we consider "schooling" as the course of events, then "early exposure" would be at the beginning of schooling. But the text contrasts it with "first grade" and mentions "pre-kindergarten", emphasizing the youth of the children rather than just the temporal sequence of education.

 Also, the word "very" modifies "early", and "very young" makes sense, while "very at or near the beginning..." is less natural.

 Actually, looking carefully at the context: "very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade". This refers to exposure when the children are very young (pre-kindergarten age).

 So my answer is sense 4 (index 4).

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=early%3:00:00::
 2. sense_key=early%3:00:02::
 3. sense_key=early%5:00:00:past:00
 4. sense_key=early%5:00:00:young:00
 5. sense_key=early%3:00:01::
 6. sense_key=early%5:00:01:future:00

 So sense 4 is the one with definition "very young".

 Let me verify once more:
 - Is it about age? Yes, the text discusses children under five vs governors over 30, and pre-kindergarten vs first grade.
 - "Early exposure" here means exposure at a young age.
 - Example "at an early age" matches perfectly.

 Yes, sense 4 is correct.

1. exposure%1:07:00:: - vulnerability to elements (weather, heat, cold, etc.)
   - Examples: exposure to the weather
   - Not relevant here - not about weather/elements

2. exposure%1:04:06:: - the act of subjecting someone to an influencing experience
   - Examples: she denounced the exposure of children to pornography
   - This seems relevant: "exposure to schooling" = subjecting children to schooling/influencing experience

3. exposure%1:10:00:: - disclosure of something secret
   - Examples: exposure of campaign plans
   - Not relevant - not about revealing secrets

4. exposure%1:09:00:: - aspect/direction a building faces
   - Examples: northern exposure
   - Not relevant

5. exposure%1:26:01:: - state of being vulnerable or exposed
   - Synonyms: vulnerability
   - Examples: exposure to ridicule
   - This could potentially fit, but the context is about experiencing schooling, not being vulnerable to it

6. exposure%1:23:00:: - intensity of light on photographic film
   - Not relevant

7. exposure%1:06:00:: - photograph/picture
   - Not relevant

8. exposure%1:04:02:: - act of exposing film to light
   - Not relevant

9. exposure%1:04:05:: - presentation to view in an open/public manner
   - Examples: exposure of his anger
   - Not quite right - this is about making something visible/public, not about experiencing something

10. exposure%1:04:01:: - abandoning without shelter (infant exposure)
    - Not relevant

Between sense 2 and sense 5:
- Sense 2: "the act of subjecting someone to an influencing experience" - example: "exposure of children to pornography"
- Sense 5: "the state of being vulnerable or exposed" - example: "exposure to ridicule"

The context is "exposure to schooling" - this is about subjecting children to schooling (an influencing experience). The example for sense 2 is "exposure of children to pornography" which parallels "exposure [of children] to schooling" very well.

Sense 5 is more about vulnerability/risk (exposure to ridicule, litigation), but schooling isn't framed as a vulnerability here - it's framed as an experience that influences performance.

Therefore, sense 2 (exposure%1:04:06::) is the best fit.

Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists them as:
1. sense_key=exposure%1:07:00::
2. sense_key=exposure%1:04:06::
3. sense_key=exposure%1:10:00::
4. sense_key=exposure%1:09:00::
5. sense_key=exposure%1:26:01::
6. sense_key=exposure%1:23:00::
7. sense_key=exposure%1:06:00::
8. sense_key=exposure%1:04:02::
9. sense_key=exposure%1:04:05::
10. sense_key=exposure%1:04:01::

So sense 2 is exposure%1:04:06:: which is "the act of subjecting someone to an influencing experience".

Yes, this matches perfectly: "very early exposure to schooling" = subjecting children to schooling at an early age (an influencing experience).

The answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

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

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses education, specifically about extending the educational system to pre-kindergarten years
 - The target sentence: "We know that very early exposure to <t>schooling</t> improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
 - The context is about formal education, the educational system, and how early formal education affects later performance
 - It's contrasting "schooling" with "child-care" and discussing educational programs

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=schooling%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of teaching at school
    - This refers to the act/process of teaching (the teacher's activity)
    - But the context is about children being exposed to schooling (being taught), not the act of teaching itself

 2. sense_key=schooling%1:09:00:: | definition=the process of being formally educated at a school | synonyms=school | examples=what will you do when you finish school?
    - This refers to the process of being educated/receiving education
    - Synonyms include "school"
    - The example "what will you do when you finish school?" suggests this is about the state/experience of being a student/receiving education
    - In the context: "exposure to schooling" means exposure to the process of being formally educated
    - This fits perfectly with the discussion about early education and its effects on first grade performance

 3. sense_key=schooling%1:04:01:: | definition=the training of an animal (especially the training of a horse for dressage)
    - This is clearly about animals/horses
    - The context is about human children and education
    - This is definitely not the right sense

 So the choice is between sense 1 and sense 2.

 Sense 1 (the act of teaching at school) vs Sense 2 (the process of being formally educated at a school)

 The phrase "exposure to schooling" in the context refers to children being exposed to the educational system - i.e., being formally educated. It's about the experience of the students (being schooled), not the activity of the teachers (teaching).

 Also, looking at the synonyms for sense 2: "school" - and the example "what will you do when you finish school?" - this clearly refers to the institution/educational process that students go through.

 The context mentions "extending the educational system" and "educational program" - this aligns with sense 2 about the process of formal education.

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

 Wait, let me double-check the indexing. The user shows:
 1. sense_key=schooling%1:04:00::
 2. sense_key=schooling%1:09:00::
 3. sense_key=schooling%1:04:01::

 So index 2 is the one with definition "the process of being formally educated at a school".

 Yes, that's the correct one.

 The user wants the output as: {"sense_index": 2}

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

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
 - The subject is "very early exposure to schooling" (an intervention/action)
 - The object is "performance in the first grade" (something being affected)
 - The verb "improves" is transitive here - the exposure is making the performance better.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=improve%2:30:01:: | definition=to make better | synonyms=better, amend, ameliorate, meliorate | examples=The editor improved the manuscript with his changes
    - This is the transitive sense: "to make better"
    - Example: The editor improved the manuscript (subject makes object better)
    - In our context: early exposure improves performance (subject makes object better)

 2. sense_key=improve%2:30:00:: | definition=get better | synonyms=better, ameliorate, meliorate | examples=The weather improved toward evening
    - This is the intransitive sense: "get better"
    - Example: The weather improved (the weather itself got better)
    - This would require the subject itself to be getting better, not causing something else to get better

 In the target sentence, "improves" is used transitively with an object "performance". The early exposure to schooling is making the performance better. This matches sense 1 (to make better), not sense 2 (get better).

 Sense 1 is the causative/transitive sense where the subject causes the object to become better.
 Sense 2 is the intransitive sense where the subject itself becomes better.

 Since "performance" is the object being improved by the subject "exposure", this is clearly sense 1.

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense keys. The format is usually:
 - improve%2:30:00:: (intransitive - get better)
 - improve%2:30:01:: (transitive - make better)

 Yes, looking at standard WordNet:
 - improve.v.01: get better (intransitive)
 - improve.v.02: make better (transitive)

 So the answer should be sense_index: 1.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=improve%2:30:01:: (make better)
 2. sense_key=improve%2:30:00:: (get better)

 So index 1 corresponds to "make better" and index 2 corresponds to "get better".

 In the context: "exposure to schooling improves performance" - this is transitive, so it's "make better", which is sense 1.

 Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

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

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is discussing education, specifically about extending educational systems to pre-kindergarten years.
 - The sentence containing the target word: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
 - Here, "performance" refers to how well children do academically in the first grade - their accomplishment or execution of educational tasks.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=performance%1:10:00:: | definition=a dramatic or musical entertainment | synonyms=public presentation | examples=they listened to ten different performances; the play ran for 100 performances
 - This is about theatrical/musical performances. Not relevant to academic achievement in first grade.

 2. sense_key=performance%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of presenting a play or a piece of music or other entertainment | examples=we congratulated him on his performance at the rehearsal; an inspired performance of Mozart's C minor concerto
 - This is about the act of performing (doing) a play or music. Not relevant.

 3. sense_key=performance%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it | synonyms=execution, carrying out, carrying into action | examples=they criticised his performance as mayor; experience generally improves performance
 - This refers to the act of performing/executing something, or how well one does something. The examples include "experience generally improves performance" which is very similar to the context about schooling improving performance. This seems relevant - it refers to how well students execute their schoolwork or academic tasks.

 4. sense_key=performance%1:04:03:: | definition=any recognized accomplishment | examples=they admired his performance under stress; when Roger Maris powered four home runs in one game his performance merits awe
 - This refers to accomplishments or achievements. While academic achievement could fit here, this seems more focused on notable accomplishments (like hitting home runs) rather than the general execution of tasks. However, "performance in the first grade" could be interpreted as an accomplishment.

 5. sense_key=performance%1:22:00:: | definition=process or manner of functioning or operating | synonyms=operation, functioning | examples=the power of its engine determines its operation; the plane's operation in high winds
 - This is about mechanical functioning, not relevant to human academic achievement.

 Between sense 3 and sense 4:
 - Sense 3 (performance%1:04:00::): "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it" - examples include "experience generally improves performance" which strongly parallels the context "very early exposure to schooling improves performance"
 - Sense 4 (performance%1:04:03::): "any recognized accomplishment" - examples include performance under stress, hitting home runs

 The key distinction:
 - Sense 3 focuses on the execution/action aspect - how well someone performs a task, using skills/knowledge.
 - Sense 4 focuses on the accomplishment/result aspect.

 In the context of "performance in the first grade", this typically refers to how well students do on their schoolwork, tests, etc. - their academic execution or achievement. However, the example "experience generally improves performance" in sense 3 is very close to the context pattern "exposure to schooling improves performance".

 Also, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
 - Sense 3 is often used for job performance, academic performance, etc. - the act of performing duties or tasks.
 - Sense 4 is for specific notable achievements.

 The phrase "performance in the first grade" is talking about academic achievement/execution in general, not a specific notable accomplishment. It's about how well they perform academically.

 Therefore, sense 3 seems best: "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it"

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense keys to make sure I understand the indices correctly:
 - %1:10:00:: - noun.artifact? No, 1:10 is noun.communication I think? Actually WordNet sense keys encode POS and lex_file_num.
 - %1:04:00:: - 1:noun, 04:act (noun.act)
 - %1:04:01:: - noun.act, different sense
 - %1:04:03:: - noun.act, different sense
 - %1:22:00:: - noun.act? No 22 is noun.process? Let me check... actually 1:04 is noun.act.

 Actually looking at the pattern:
 - performance%1:10:00:: - this is noun.communication (10)
 - performance%1:04:01:: - noun.act (04)
 - performance%1:04:00:: - noun.act (04)
 - performance%1:04:03:: - noun.act (04)
 - performance%1:22:00:: - noun.process (22)

 So senses 2, 3, and 4 are all from noun.act.

 Sense 3 definition: "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it"
 Synonyms: execution, carrying out, carrying into action

 This is about the process of executing or carrying out actions, specifically "using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it" - which fits perfectly with educational context where students are applying knowledge.

 Sense 4: "any recognized accomplishment" - synonyms might include achievement.

 Given the context of schooling and grade levels, "performance" refers to academic performance - how well students execute their academic tasks. This is sense 3.

 The example "experience generally improves performance" is almost exactly parallel to the sentence structure in the context.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 3.

 Wait, I need to check if the indexing in the candidate list corresponds to the sense key indices. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=performance%1:10:00::
 2. sense_key=performance%1:04:01::
 3. sense_key=performance%1:04:00::
 4. sense_key=performance%1:04:03::
 5. sense_key=performance%1:22:00::

 So:
 - Index 1 is %1:10:00:: (theatrical)
 - Index 2 is %1:04:01:: (act of presenting entertainment)
 - Index 3 is %1:04:00:: (act of performing successfully)
 - Index 4 is %1:04:03:: (recognized accomplishment)
 - Index 5 is %1:22:00:: (manner of functioning)

 Yes, index 3 is the one I want.

 Final check: Could it be index 4 (accomplishment)?
 "improves performance in the first grade" - this could mean improves their accomplishment/achievement. But the example "experience generally improves performance" is listed under sense 3, which suggests that pattern (improves performance) is associated with sense 3. Also, sense 4's examples are about specific feats (home runs) or performance under stress, whereas sense 3 is about general execution of duties/skills (performance as mayor).

 Academic performance is typically sense 3 in WordNet - the execution of academic tasks.

 Therefore: {"sense_index": 3}

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

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

The target word "first" here is referring to "first grade" - meaning the initial or earliest grade in elementary schooling.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. first%3:00:00:: - preceding all others in time or space or degree. This is the general adjective meaning "coming before all others in time." This could fit "first grade" as the grade that comes before all others.

2. first%5:00:00:ordinal:00 - indicating the beginning unit in a series. This is specifically ordinal. "Grade" is a countable unit in a series (1st grade, 2nd grade, etc.). The synonym is "1st".

3. first%5:00:02:opening:00 - serving to set in motion. Synonyms: inaugural, initiative, etc. This is about things like "inaugural issue" - not really applicable to grade levels in school.

4. first%5:00:01:opening:00 - serving to begin. Examples: "the beginning canto", "the first verse". This could potentially apply, but ordinal seems more specific for numbered grades.

5. first%5:00:00:best:00 - ranking above all others. This is about being best/foremost, not about temporal sequence.

6. first%3:00:03:: - highest in pitch or chief among parts (musical). Not relevant.

Now, "first grade" uses "first" as an ordinal number - indicating the position in a sequence (grade 1).

Sense 2 specifically mentions "indicating the beginning unit in a series" with synonym "1st". This matches exactly how we use "first" in "first grade" - it's the 1st grade in the sequence of grades.

Sense 1 is more general "preceding all others in time or space" - while technically true, "first grade" is specifically an ordinal usage (first, second, third grade).

In WordNet, ordinal numbers are often distinguished from general "preceding" senses. "First grade" definitely treats "first" as an ordinal (1st grade).

Therefore, sense 2 (first%5:00:00:ordinal:00) is the best choice.

Wait, let me check the sense keys again:
- sense_key=first%5:00:00:ordinal:00 | definition=indicating the beginning unit in a series | synonyms=1st

Yes, this is the ordinal sense. "First grade" is grade 1, the first in the series of grades.

Actually, looking at typical WordNet sense distinctions:
- Sense 1 (3:00:00) is the general adjective "the first day", "the first house"
- Sense 2 (5:00:00:ordinal:00) is specifically the ordinal number sense "1st"

In "first grade", "first" functions as an ordinal numeral modifying "grade", indicating the grade that comes first in the sequence. This corresponds to sense 2.

But I should verify: sometimes "first" before a noun like "grade", "place", "prize" could be ambiguous between ordinal and "highest/best", but clearly in "first grade" it's ordinal (as opposed to second, third grade).

Sense 5 is about ranking above all others (foremost, best). That's different.

So my answer should be sense_index: 2.

Double-checking the other options:
- Sense 3 and 4 are about beginning/initiating (inaugural, maiden). Not right.
- Sense 6 is musical. Not right.
- Sense 1 vs 2: Sense 1 is for "the first time", "first day of spring" (temporal/spatial primacy). Sense 2 is specifically ordinal - "indicating the beginning unit in a series" with synonym "1st".

"First grade" treats grade as a unit in a series (grade 1, grade 2...), so it's ordinal.

Decision: sense 2.

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

The context is about education, schooling, and early childhood development. The phrase "first grade" refers to a specific level or year in the educational system.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=grade%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who are taught together | synonyms=class, form, course | examples=early morning classes are always sleepy
- This refers to a group of students (like "the third grade class"). But in the phrase "first grade", we're referring to the level/year, not necessarily the body of students itself, though they are related.

2. sense_key=grade%1:26:00:: | definition=a relative position or degree of value in a graded group | synonyms=level, tier | examples=lumber of the highest grade
- This is about quality levels (like grade A eggs). Not quite right for "first grade" in school.

3. sense_key=grade%1:07:01:: | definition=the gradient of a slope or road or other surface | examples=the road had a steep grade
- This is about physical slope/gradient. Not relevant.

4. sense_key=grade%1:23:00:: | definition=one-hundredth of a right angle | synonyms=grad
- Mathematical/geometric term. Not relevant.

5. sense_key=grade%1:10:00:: | definition=a degree of ablaut | synonyms=gradation
- Linguistic term. Not relevant.

6. sense_key=grade%1:09:00:: | definition=a number or letter indicating quality (especially of a student's performance) | synonyms=mark, score | examples=she made good marks in algebra; grade A milk
- This is about letter grades (A, B, C) or scores. Not "first grade" as a level of schooling.

7. sense_key=grade%1:07:02:: | definition=the height of the ground on which something stands | synonyms=ground level | examples=the base of the tower was below grade
- Construction/engineering term. Not relevant.

8. sense_key=grade%1:07:00:: | definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | synonyms=degree, level | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence; a high level of care is required
- This is a general level or degree. Could potentially fit, but let's check sense 1.

9. sense_key=grade%1:05:00:: | definition=a variety of cattle produced by crossbreeding with a superior breed
- Animal husbandry. Not relevant.

Now, looking closely at sense 1: "a body of students who are taught together" with synonyms "class, form, course".

In the phrase "first grade", we are referring to the first year of elementary school. In WordNet, the sense "a body of students who are taught together" is often used for this meaning - like "the fifth grade" meaning the group of students in that year.

However, looking at the examples for sense 1: "early morning classes are always sleepy" - this suggests it's about the class as a group.

But wait, in educational contexts, "grade" can mean:
- A level of schooling (e.g., "I'm in third grade")
- A mark/score (sense 6)
- A group of students (sense 1)

The phrase "first grade" most commonly refers to the level of schooling. Let me check if there's a better sense.

Looking at sense 1 again: "a body of students who are taught together" - this is synset 1:14:00, which is the "class" sense.

But actually, in "first grade", "grade" refers to a level or year in school. WordNet might classify this under sense 1 (as a class/group) or sense 8 (as a level).

Wait, looking at the synonyms for sense 1: "class, form, course". In British English, "form" is used for school years (e.g., "sixth form"). So sense 1 seems to be the one that covers school years/levels.

Let me reconsider sense 8: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" with synonyms "degree, level". Example: "a moderate grade of intelligence". This seems more general and abstract.

The specific educational sense of "grade" as a school year is sense 1. The phrase "first grade" means the first year of primary school, which corresponds to a specific body of students (cohort) or the level itself.

Actually, looking carefully at WordNet structure:
- Sense 1 (1:14:00) is under noun.group (14), meaning it's a group/collection noun.
- Sense 8 (1:07:00) is under noun.attribute (07), meaning it's a property/attribute.

"First grade" is definitely a noun.group sense - it's a grouping of students by age/year level.

But let me double-check by looking at the examples and usage. In the sentence: "improves performance in the first grade"

This means performance during the first year of school, or performance while in the group classified as first grade students.

Sense 1 is definitely the correct choice here. "First grade" refers to the class/cohort/level of students in their first year of elementary education.

Sense 6 would be about letter grades (A, B, C).
Sense 2 would be about quality grades (high grade lumber).
Sense 8 is too general and abstract.

Therefore, the answer is sense 1.

Wait, I need to be careful. The index requested is the "sense_index" which corresponds to the numbering in the candidate list (1-9), not the WordNet offset or the lexicographer file number.

The candidates are numbered 1 through 9. I need to return {"sense_index": 1} if I choose the first one.

Let me verify once more:
- The context is educational: "schooling", "first grade"
- "First grade" = first year of elementary school
- This corresponds to sense 1: "a body of students who are taught together" (synonyms: class, form, course)

Yes, this is correct. In WordNet, the school-grade sense is typically sense 1 (the class/group sense).

Actually, looking at standard WordNet for "grade":
- The first sense is usually the school class sense (a body of students)
- The sixth sense is usually the letter grade/marks sense

Given the context "first grade" referring to the school year level, sense 1 is correct.

One final check: Could it be sense 8? "a position on a scale..."?
- Example given: "a moderate grade of intelligence"
- This is different from "first grade" which is a specific educational stage.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

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

This sentence is talking about the difference in performance between children who had very early exposure to schooling and those who didn't. The "difference" refers to the gap or dissimilarity in performance that exists initially but then disappears (is washed away).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=difference%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of being unlike or dissimilar | examples=there are many differences between jazz and rock
- This refers to the quality of being unlike or dissimilar. In the context, we're talking about the dissimilarity in performance between two groups. The "difference" is the quality/degree to which they differ. This seems like a strong candidate.

2. sense_key=difference%1:11:00:: | definition=a variation that deviates from the standard or norm | synonyms=deviation, divergence, departure | examples=the deviation from the mean
- This is more about deviation from a standard or norm. The context isn't about deviation from a mean or standard, but about the gap between two groups. Less likely.

3. sense_key=difference%1:10:00:: | definition=a disagreement or argument about something important | synonyms=dispute, difference of opinion, conflict
- This is about interpersonal disagreement. Clearly not applicable here.

4. sense_key=difference%1:24:00:: | definition=a significant change | examples=the difference in her is amazing; his support made a real difference
- This refers to a change in state (e.g., "it made a difference"). The context isn't saying the performance changed, but that the gap between groups disappears. Not quite right.

5. sense_key=difference%1:23:00:: | definition=the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend | synonyms=remainder
- This is the mathematical sense. While performance could be quantified, the context is using "difference" in a more general sense of dissimilarity in performance, not specifically the result of a subtraction operation. Though there is some overlap, sense 1 seems more appropriate for talking about the general dissimilarity between groups.

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence says "the difference is quickly washed away." This refers to the performance gap between children who had early schooling and those who didn't.

Sense 1: "the quality of being unlike or dissimilar" - this fits well. The text is saying the dissimilarity in performance disappears.

Sense 5: mathematical difference - could this be it? If we're talking about test scores, the difference could be the numerical gap. But the context is from an education/policy article, not a mathematical text. The examples for sense 1 ("there are many differences between jazz and rock") show it can be used for comparing two things/groups.

Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet senses:
- difference%1:07:00:: is the general "quality of being unlike or dissimilar"
- difference%1:23:00:: is the mathematical remainder

In educational research contexts, when we say "the difference is washed away," we typically mean the performance difference (dissimilarity) between groups. This aligns with sense 1.

Let me double-check sense 4: "a significant change" - "the difference in her is amazing." This is about a single entity changing over time. Our context is about two groups differing from each other, not one entity changing.

So sense 1 seems best. The "difference" is the dissimilarity in performance between the two groups (those with early schooling and those without).

Wait, I should be careful. Let me look at the exact wording again: "very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

This means: Group A (early schooling) performs better than Group B in first grade. But later, Group A and Group B perform similarly. So the difference (dissimilarity) between them is washed away.

Yes, sense 1 is correct.

Actually, I want to reconsider if sense 5 could apply. In statistical contexts, "difference" can mean the numerical difference between means. "Washed away" could metaphorically describe the difference becoming zero. However, the text is written for a general audience in a policy/literary style ("washed away" is metaphorical). The general sense of dissimilarity (sense 1) is more appropriate than the specific mathematical operation (sense 5).

Also, looking at the examples for sense 1: "there are many differences between jazz and rock" - this is exactly the comparative usage we see in the text (difference between groups).

Therefore, the answer is sense_index: 1.

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

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

 The sentence is talking about how early exposure to schooling improves first grade performance, but afterward (later grades), the difference is quickly washed away (disappears).

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=quickly%4:02:00:: | definition=with rapid movements | synonyms=rapidly, speedily, chop-chop, apace | examples=he works quickly
 - This sense seems to focus on physical speed or rapidity of action/movement.

 2. sense_key=quickly%4:02:02:: | definition=with little or no delay | synonyms=promptly, quick | examples=the rescue squad arrived promptly; come here, quick!
 - This sense seems to focus on promptness, immediacy, or happening soon/without delay.

 3. sense_key=quickly%4:02:03:: | definition=without taking pains | synonyms=cursorily | examples=he looked cursorily through the magazine
 - This sense means doing something hastily or superficially, without care.

 In the context: "the difference is quickly washed away"
 - This means the difference disappears rapidly or soon after first grade.
 - It's not about physical movement (sense 1).
 - It's not about doing something carelessly or superficially (sense 3).
 - It's about the difference disappearing soon/rapidly over time - indicating speed in terms of time progression.

 Actually, let me reconsider. "Washed away" is a metaphor here. The difference (in performance) disappears rapidly or soon after first grade.

 Sense 1: "with rapid movements" - this is about physical speed.
 Sense 2: "with little or no delay" - this is about promptness/immediacy in time.
 Sense 3: "without taking pains" - this is about carelessness.

 The phrase "quickly washed away" suggests that the difference disappears rapidly or soon. It's about the speed at which the effect dissipates over time.

 Looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1: "he works quickly" - manner of working (rapidly)
 - Sense 2: "the rescue squad arrived promptly" - time of arrival (soon/immediately)
 - Sense 3: "he looked cursorily through the magazine" - manner of looking (superficially)

 In "the difference is quickly washed away", we're talking about how fast the difference disappears. This is about the rate/speed of change over time.

 But wait, sense 1 is "with rapid movements" - this seems to be about physical motion.
 Sense 2 is "with little or no delay" - this is about time.

 Actually, looking at WordNet structure:
 - quickly%4:02:00:: is usually the "rapidly" sense (manner)
 - quickly%4:02:02:: is usually the "promptly" sense (time)

 In the context "the difference is quickly washed away", "washed away" is metaphorical for "disappears/erases". The question is: does "quickly" here mean:
 a) rapidly (at a fast rate) - sense 1
 b) soon (without much delay) - sense 2
 c) cursorily (sense 3) - definitely not

 The difference being "washed away" refers to the performance gap disappearing. If it happens "quickly", it means it happens rapidly or soon after first grade.

 Actually, looking at the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - Sense 1 (rapidly): refers to the speed of the action itself
 - Sense 2 (promptly): refers to the timing/immediacy

 But in "quickly washed away", it's describing how fast the washing away happens. This seems like sense 1 (rapidly).

 However, let me look at the actual WordNet definitions more carefully. The user provided:
 1. with rapid movements
 2. with little or no delay
 3. without taking pains

 "Washed away" is not really a "movement" in the physical sense, but metaphorical. But "rapidly" vs "promptly"...

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet senses for "quickly":
 - quickly#1: with rapid movements (rapidly, speedily, chop-chop, apace)
 - quickly#2: with little or no delay (promptly, quick)
 - quickly#3: without taking pains (cursorily)

 In the sentence: "the difference is quickly washed away"

 This means the difference disappears rapidly. It's about the rate of disappearance. This aligns with sense 1 (rapidly).

 But wait, "with little or no delay" could also fit - the difference disappears without delay (soon after first grade).

 Let me think about the distinction. In WordNet:
 - Sense 1 (quickly%4:02:00::) corresponds to "rapidly" - the manner/speed of the action
 - Sense 2 (quickly%4:02:02::) corresponds to "promptly" - the timeliness/immediacy

 "The difference is quickly washed away" - here "quickly" modifies "washed away". The washing away happens at a rapid pace. This is more about the speed of the process (sense 1) rather than the timing/promptness (sense 2).

 However, there's ambiguity. But looking at the example for sense 2: "the rescue squad arrived promptly" - this is about when something happens (immediately). "Come here, quick!" - immediate response.

 For sense 1: "he works quickly" - the manner of working is fast.

 "The difference is washed away" - if we say it's washed away "quickly", we mean the process of washing away happens rapidly. This is sense 1.

 But actually, in many WSD datasets, "quickly" in contexts like "quickly disappear" or "quickly fade" is often sense 1 (rapidly).

 However, I should look at whether "washed away" implies a process that happens over time, and "quickly" describes the speed of that process.

 Actually, looking at the context again: "afterward the difference is quickly washed away"
 This means: after first grade, the difference disappears rapidly.

 I think sense 1 is the best fit: "with rapid movements" (or more generally, at a rapid rate/pace).

 But let me double-check sense 2. Could it mean "without delay"? "The difference is without delay washed away" - this would mean it happens immediately after, which is somewhat true, but "quickly" here emphasizes the speed of the disappearance, not just the timing.

 Actually, looking at similar examples in WordNet or standard usage:
 - "The effect quickly wore off" - this would be sense 1 (rapidly)
 - "He quickly responded" - could be either, but usually sense 2 if it means "immediately"

 But "quickly washed away" - the washing away happens rapidly. This is sense 1.

 Wait, I should reconsider the gloss "with rapid movements". Is "washed away" a movement? It's a metaphorical movement, but the gloss "with rapid movements" might be too narrow if it only refers to physical movement.

 Actually, looking at the synonyms: rapidly, speedily, chop-chop, apace. These all indicate speed/rapidity.
 For sense 2: promptly, quick. These indicate immediacy/timeliness.

 In "the difference is quickly washed away", the word "quickly" is synonymous with "rapidly" - the difference rapidly disappears. This is sense 1.

 Sense 3 is clearly wrong (cursorily).

 So I choose sense 1.

 But let me reconsider one more time. Could it be sense 2?
 "With little or no delay" - the difference is washed away with little delay after first grade.
 This interpretation is also plausible.

 However, the phrase "washed away" suggests a process, and "quickly" describes how fast that process occurs. This aligns with "rapidly" (sense 1) rather than "promptly" (sense 2).

 Also, looking at the example for sense 1: "he works quickly" - this describes the rate of work.
 For sense 2: "the rescue squad arrived promptly" - this describes the timing of arrival.

 "The difference is washed away" - if we substitute:
 - "rapidly washed away" - makes sense, describes the speed of disappearance
 - "promptly washed away" - also makes sense, but implies immediate action in response to something, or immediate occurrence.

 But "quickly" in the sense of "rapidly" (sense 1) is the more general adverb for high speed/rate.

 Given that the difference "washes away" over time (a process), describing it as happening "quickly" refers to the speed of that process, not just the timing. Therefore, sense 1.

 Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully:
 quickly%4:02:00:: is the first sense, usually the most common, meaning "rapidly".
 quickly%4:02:02:: is the second sense, meaning "promptly".

 In many WSD test sets, "quickly" when meaning "rapidly" is sense 1, and when meaning "immediately/soon" is sense 2.

 Here, "the difference is quickly washed away" - the washing away happens at a rapid pace. This is sense 1.

 Final decision: sense_index: 1

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "wash_away" with the surface form "washed away" in the given context.

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

 The sentence is talking about the effect of early schooling on performance. It says that while early exposure improves performance in first grade, afterward the difference (between those who had early exposure and those who didn't) is quickly "washed away."

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=wash_away%2:30:01:: | definition=eliminate | examples=wash away all the differences
 2. sense_key=wash_away%2:30:00:: | definition=remove by the application of water or other liquid and soap or some other cleaning agent | synonyms=wash, wash out, wash off | examples=he washed the dirt from his coat; The nurse washed away the blood

 Sense 2 is clearly the literal sense involving physical cleaning with water/liquid. The examples mention washing dirt from a coat and washing away blood.

 Sense 1 is the figurative sense meaning "eliminate." The example given is "wash away all the differences" which is very close to the context here ("the difference is quickly washed away").

 In the context, "washed away" is used metaphorically to mean that the difference in performance disappears or is eliminated over time. It's not referring to literal washing with water.

 Therefore, Sense 1 (eliminate) is the correct choice.

 The sense index would be 1 (since it's listed as the first candidate sense).

 Wait, I need to check the format. The user wants a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}. So I should return {"sense_index": 1} since I choose the first sense.

 Let me double-check:
 - Context: "the difference is quickly washed away" - this means the difference disappears/eliminates
 - Sense 1: eliminate - matches "wash away all the differences"
 - Sense 2: remove by application of water - literal washing, doesn't fit the abstract context of "difference" in performance

 Yes, Sense 1 is correct.

 Context analysis:
 The text is discussing education policy, specifically about Gov. Bill Clinton's proposal for child-development policy. The sentence containing "sum up" is: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work:"

 After this, there's a list following the colon which appears to summarize points about education.

 Analysis:
 - Sense 3 is clearly about mathematical addition/totalling, which doesn't fit here. The context is about summarizing knowledge/points about education, not adding numbers.

 - Between Sense 1 and Sense 2:
   - Sense 1: "give a summary (of)" - active voice, someone is performing the action of summarizing
   - Sense 2: "be a summary of" - stative, descriptive of what something is

 In the context "Let us sum up what we do know...", the subject "us" (the author and readers) are being asked to perform the action of summarizing. This is an active, transitive use where someone is creating a summary.

 The examples for Sense 1 ("he summed up his results; I will now summarize") match this usage perfectly - someone is actively summarizing information.

 The examples for Sense 2 ("The abstract summarizes the main ideas") describes something being a summary, not someone actively summarizing.

 Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

 Wait, I need to check the sense indices. The user asks for the "single best indexed sense" and wants a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}.

 2. sense_key=sum_up%2:42:00::
 3. sense_key=sum_up%2:32:03::

 The indices appear to be 1, 2, and 3 as listed. So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

 Let me double-check the WordNet sense keys to make sure I understand the indexing correctly. The format is usually:
 sum_up%2:32:00:: (verb, communicate, specific sense)
 sum_up%2:42:00:: (verb, stative, specific sense)
 sum_up%2:32:03:: (verb, communicate, specific sense - but different one)

 Actually, looking at WordNet:
 - sum_up%2:32:00:: is "give a summary (of)"
 - sum_up%2:32:03:: is "determine the sum of"
 - sum_up%2:42:00:: is "be a summary of"

 The numbers after the colon are:
 - 2 = verb
 - 32 = verb.communication (for senses 1 and 3)
 - 42 = verb.stative (for sense 2)
 - 00, 03 = specific sense numbers

 But for the purpose of this task, the user has labeled them as 1, 2, and 3 in the list. The instruction says "Choose the single best indexed sense" and the example format is {"sense_index": 3}. So I should use the numbering provided in the candidate list (1, 2, or 3).

 Context: "Let us sum up what we do know..."
 This is clearly an imperative or hortative use where the speaker is proposing to provide a summary. This matches sense 1 "give a summary (of)".

 Sense 2 "be a summary of" would be used in contexts like "This chapter sums up the main arguments" where the chapter (inanimate subject) is the summary.

 Sense 3 is mathematical.

 So the answer is sense_index: 1.
