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

Sentence: If we wish to be serious about American education, we know <t>exactly</t> what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do.

Senses:
1. definition=indicating exactness or preciseness | examples=he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do
2. definition=just as it should be | examples=`Precisely, my lord,' he said
3. definition=in a precise manner | examples=she always expressed herself precisely

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "exactly" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know <t>exactly</t> what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do."

The word "exactly" here modifies "what to do" - it means we know precisely or specifically what to do.

Let me look at the three senses:

1. definition=indicating exactness or preciseness | examples=he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do
   - This seems to fit. The example shows "exactly what she had told him to do" which is very similar to "exactly what to do" in the target sentence.

2. definition=just as it should be | examples=`Precisely, my lord,' he said
   - This is an interjection usage, like saying "Exactly!" as an agreement. This doesn't fit the sentence structure.

3. definition=in a precise manner | examples=she always expressed herself precisely
   - This describes the manner of an action (how something is done). In the target sentence, "exactly" isn't describing the manner of knowing, but rather the precision of the knowledge itself - specifically what is known.

Wait, let me reconsider. In the sentence "we know exactly what to do", is "exactly" modifying "know" or "what to do"?

Actually, looking at the structure:
- "exactly what to do" - here "exactly" is modifying the wh-clause "what to do", indicating that the knowledge is precise/specific.

Sense 1 says "indicating exactness or preciseness" and the example is "he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do".

In the example "exactly what she had told him to do", "exactly" is emphasizing the exactness of what was told/done.

In the target sentence "exactly what to do", it's the same structure - emphasizing that we know with precision/specificity what actions to take.

Sense 3 "in a precise manner" would be more like "we exactly know what to do" (though that's awkward) or "she expressed herself exactly" - describing the manner of the verb.

But in "know exactly what to do", the word "exactly" is emphasizing the precision of the object (what to do), not the manner of knowing.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 1: "indicating exactness or preciseness" - this is a bit vague. But the example "he was doing exactly what she had told him to do" shows that "exactly" is used to emphasize that the action matches precisely what was instructed.

In "we know exactly what to do", it means we know precisely/specifically what actions are needed.

Sense 3: "in a precise manner" - this would be an adverb modifying a verb to describe how the action is performed. For example, "she always expressed herself precisely" - here "precisely" tells us how she expressed herself.

But in "know exactly what to do", "exactly" isn't telling us how we know (in a precise manner), but rather emphasizing the precision of the content known.

Wait, actually, looking at dictionary definitions, "exactly" in "know exactly what to do" can be tricky. Let me think about the syntactic function.

In "know exactly what to do":
- "exactly" intensifies the specificity of "what to do"
- It means "precisely" or "specifically"

Sense 1: "indicating exactness or preciseness" - this seems to be the definition for when "exactly" is used as an intensifier with wh-words or similar constructions.

Sense 3: "in a precise manner" - this is the manner adverb sense.

Looking at the example for sense 1: "he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do"
This is parallel to: "we know exactly what to do"

Both have the structure: [verb] exactly what...

So sense 1 seems correct.

Sense 2 is clearly wrong as it's about agreement/interjection.

Sense 3 would be like: "we know what to do exactly" (meaning in a precise manner) or describing the manner of knowing.

Actually, "we know exactly what to do" vs "we exactly know what to do" - the latter would be more likely to be sense 3 (manner), though it's awkward. But with the word order "know exactly what", it's sense 1.

Let me double-check by looking at the definitions again:

1. indicating exactness or preciseness
2. just as it should be (agreement)
3. in a precise manner

In "know exactly what to do", we're indicating the exactness/preciseness of what we know. We know with precision what actions to take. This matches sense 1.

The answer should be 1.

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

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "just" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, <t>just</t> as important, what not to do."

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The phrase is "just as important"
 - This means "equally important" or "with the same degree of importance"
 - It's used to indicate that the second point (what not to do) has the same level of importance as the first point (what to do)

 Now let me look at the provided senses:

 1. definition=and nothing more | examples=I was merely asking
    - This is about "merely" or "only" - doesn't fit.

 2. definition=indicating exactness or preciseness | examples=he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do
    - This is about precision or exactness. The phrase "just as important" uses "just" in the sense of "exactly" or "precisely" - meaning "exactly as important" or "precisely as important."

 3. definition=only a moment ago | examples=he has just arrived
    - This is about recent time - doesn't fit.

 4. definition=absolutely | examples=I just can't take it anymore
    - This is an intensifier - doesn't fit the comparative structure here.

 5. definition=only a very short time before | examples=they could barely hear the speaker
    - This seems to be about time/barely - doesn't fit. (Note: the example seems mismatched with the definition, but regardless, it's about time.)

 6. definition=exactly at this moment or the moment described | examples=we've just finished painting the walls, so don't touch them
    - This is about the present moment/recent completion - doesn't fit.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 2: "indicating exactness or preciseness" with examples like "precisely" or "exactly."

 In the phrase "just as important," the word "just" functions as an adverb modifying "as important," meaning "exactly as important" or "precisely as important." This aligns with sense 2.

 However, I should also consider if there's a sense missing or if one of these covers "equally." Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:

 Sense 2 says: "indicating exactness or preciseness | examples=he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do"

 The phrase "just as" is an idiom meaning "equally" or "to the same degree." In this case, "just as important" = "equally important."

 But looking at the specific definitions provided:
 - Sense 2 is about exactness/preciseness.

 In "just as important," the word "just" emphasizes the exact equality of importance. It's saying it's exactly as important (precisely as important).

 Actually, looking at the examples again for sense 2: "he was doing precisely (or exactly) what she had told him to do" - this suggests "just" = "exactly" or "precisely."

 In "just as important," "just" = "exactly" (exactly as important).

 So the answer should be 2.

 But wait, let me double-check if there's any other interpretation.

 Could it be sense 1 "and nothing more"? No, that would be "merely as important" which doesn't make sense in this context.

 Could it be sense 4 "absolutely"? "Absolutely as important" doesn't quite fit the comparative structure.

 So yes, sense 2 seems correct. The word "just" here means "exactly" or "precisely" - indicating that the second point is exactly as important as the first.

 Actually, looking more carefully at standard WordNet or similar senses:

 Often "just as" is treated as a collocation where "just" means "exactly."

 Sense 2: "indicating exactness or preciseness" - this covers "just as" constructions.

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as <t>important</t>, what not to do.

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

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "important" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we know exactly what to do -- and, just as <t>important</t>, what not to do."

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The phrase is "just as important"
 - It's comparing "what to do" with "what not to do"
 - Both are being presented as significant or valuable considerations
 - The structure "just as important" suggests equality in significance or value

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=of great significance or value | examples=important people
    - This seems to fit. "Just as important" means "just as significant/valuable." It's saying that knowing what not to do is just as significant/valuable as knowing what to do.

 2. definition=important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws
    - This seems to focus on the effect or meaning being substantial. While related, the context here is more about value/significance rather than effect/meaning specifically.

 3. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
    - This is "crucial" level importance. The sentence doesn't suggest a crisis or that this is vital to resolution of something urgent. It's just saying something is equally significant.

 4. definition=having authority or ascendancy or influence | examples=an important official
    - This refers to people with power/authority. The subject here is "what not to do" (a concept/action), not a person with authority.

 5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air
    - This refers to acting self-important or pompous. Definitely not the meaning here.

 So it's between 1 and 2 mostly.

 Sense 1: "of great significance or value"
 Sense 2: "important in effect or meaning" (which is essentially "significant")

 In the phrase "just as important," the word is being used to mean "of great significance or value." The sentence is saying that knowing what not to do is of equal significance/value to knowing what to do.

 Looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 example: "important people" - people of significance/value
 - Sense 2 example: "a significant change in tax laws" - a change with important effects/meaning

 In the given sentence, "important" is describing the significance or value of knowing "what not to do" in the context of being serious about education. It's saying this knowledge is valuable/significant.

 Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "important in effect or meaning" - this is essentially the definition of "significant" in the sense of having meaning or consequences.

 But in the sentence "just as important," it's being used in the general sense of "significant" or "of value" - which aligns with sense 1.

 Wait, let me reconsider. The word "significant" appears in sense 2's definition and example. But sense 1 is "of great significance or value."

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 1 seems to be the general, most common definition: having great significance or value
 - Sense 2 seems to be about being meaningful or having important effects (significant)
 - Sense 3 is crucial/critical
 - Sense 4 is powerful/influential (of people)
 - Sense 5 is self-important

 In the sentence, "just as important" is a common phrase meaning "equally significant/valuable." This aligns with sense 1.

 The phrase is comparing the importance (significance/value) of two things: what to do vs what not to do.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 But let me double-check if it could be sense 2. Sense 2 says "important in effect or meaning." Is the sentence saying that knowing what not to do is important in its effect or meaning? Not specifically. It's saying it's important (significant/valuable) in general.

 Sense 1 is the broad, general definition that fits best.

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "school" is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "There are many successful <t>schools</t> scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message."

Let me analyze the context:
- "successful schools scattered throughout this nation"
- "some of them in the poorest of ghettos"
- "they are all sending us the same message"

The word "schools" here refers to educational institutions. Let's look at the options:

1. definition=an educational institution | examples=the school was founded in 1900
2. definition=a building where young people receive education | examples=the school was built in 1932
3. definition=the process of being formally educated at a school | examples=what will you do when you finish school?
4. definition=a body of creative artists or writers or thinkers linked by a similar style or by similar teachers | examples=the Venetian school of painting
5. definition=the period of instruction in a school; the time period when school is in session | examples=stay after school
6. definition=an educational institution's faculty and students | examples=the school keeps parents informed
7. definition=a large group of fish | examples=a school of small glittering fish swam by

The sentence mentions "successful schools" that are "scattered throughout this nation" and located in "ghettos". This suggests physical institutions or organizations.

Option 1 refers to the institution itself (an educational institution).
Option 2 refers specifically to the building.
Option 6 refers to the faculty and students collectively.

The sentence says "successful schools... they are all sending us the same message". Schools as institutions can send messages (through their performance, results, etc.).

However, looking carefully:
- "successful schools" - this could be institutions
- "scattered throughout this nation" - this suggests physical locations or establishments
- "in the poorest of ghettos" - this strongly suggests physical buildings or establishments located in specific places

But let's look at option 1 vs option 2:
- Option 1: "an educational institution" - focuses on the organization/institution
- Option 2: "a building where young people receive education" - focuses on the physical structure

The sentence mentions "successful" schools. Success typically refers to the institution's performance (graduation rates, academic achievement, etc.), not just the building. Also, "they are all sending us the same message" - institutions can send messages, buildings less so.

But wait, "scattered throughout this nation" and "in the poorest of ghettos" suggests physical presence. However, institutions can also be scattered geographically.

Let me look at the example for option 1: "the school was founded in 1900" - this treats it as an institution.
Example for option 2: "the school was built in 1932" - this treats it as a building.

The sentence says "successful schools". You don't typically call a building "successful" - you call an institution successful. Also, "sending us the same message" - buildings don't send messages, institutions do.

Option 6: "an educational institution's faculty and students" - this refers to the people collectively. "The school keeps parents informed" - this could work, but "successful" schools scattered throughout the nation sounds more like referring to multiple institutions rather than the collective faculty and students of one institution. Also, "some of them in the poorest of ghettos" - institutions can be located in ghettos, but typically we think of the building or the school as an entity located there.

Actually, looking at WordNet or standard dictionary definitions:
Sense 1 usually refers to the institution/organization.
Sense 2 refers to the building/structure.
Sense 6 refers to the school as a group of people (faculty and students).

In the sentence "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation", "schools" are being referred to as distinct entities that can be successful and can send messages. This aligns best with sense 1 (educational institution).

But let's double-check. Could it be sense 2? If it were just the building, would we say it's "successful"? Usually success implies educational outcomes, which relates to the institution functioning as a whole.

Could it be sense 6? "An educational institution's faculty and students" - if this were the case, we'd be talking about groups of people. But the sentence says "some of them in the poorest of ghettos" which fits locations of institutions/buildings.

I think the best answer is sense 1: an educational institution.

Wait, I should check if there's any ambiguity with "school" meaning a group of fish (sense 7)? No, context clearly rules that out.

Sense 4? "Venetian school of painting" - no, clearly not.

Sense 3 or 5? Those refer to the process/time of education, not the physical entities scattered in ghettos.

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

The phrase "successful schools" strongly points to sense 1 (institutions). You can have successful institutions. While you might say a building is successful in some metaphorical sense, it's more natural for institutions. Also, "sending us the same message" fits institutions better than buildings.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

But let me reconsider option 6. "An educational institution's faculty and students" - "the school keeps parents informed". This is a metonymic use where the school refers to the people. But in the given sentence, "schools scattered throughout this nation" - if we meant faculty and students, we'd be saying there are many groups of faculty and students scattered throughout the nation. But then "some of them in the poorest of ghettos" - this could work, as schools (people) can be in ghettos. However, "successful" is more naturally predicated of institutions than of the collective faculty and students, though it's possible.

Actually, looking at typical word sense disambiguation datasets (like WordNet), sentence 1 is likely the correct answer. The mention of being "in the poorest of ghettos" might suggest buildings, but "successful" and "sending messages" suggests the institution as a whole.

Let me verify with the examples:
- Option 1 example: "the school was founded in 1900" - focuses on the establishment/organization
- Option 2 example: "the school was built in 1932" - focuses on the construction/physical entity
- Option 6 example: "the school keeps parents informed" - focuses on the people/agent

The sentence "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation" - this is talking about schools as establishments/organizations that can be evaluated as successful. This is sense 1.

Final check: Could it be sense 2? If the sentence emphasized the architecture or the physical presence, maybe. But "successful" and "sending messages" indicates agency and performance, characteristic of institutions.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "scattered" is used in the given sentence.

The sentence is: "There are many successful schools <t>scattered</t> throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message."

The two senses provided are:
1. definition=occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space | examples=scattered showers
2. definition=lacking orderly continuity | examples=a confused set of instructions

Let me analyze the usage in the sentence. The word "scattered" is describing schools that are distributed throughout the nation. This suggests a spatial distribution - schools are located in various places across the nation, widely spaced.

Sense 1 mentions "distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space" - this fits perfectly with schools being distributed throughout a nation.

Sense 2 mentions "lacking orderly continuity" which seems more about something being confused or disjointed in a conceptual way, like instructions or thoughts. This doesn't fit the spatial distribution meaning in the sentence.

The example "scattered showers" for sense 1 also supports this - showers occurring in various places, not continuous.

So the answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the <t>poorest</t> of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message.

Senses:
1. definition=deserving or inciting pity; ; ; - Galsworthy | examples=a hapless victim
2. definition=having little money or few possessions | examples=deplored the gap between rich and poor countries
3. definition=characterized by or indicating poverty | examples=the country had a poor economy

5. definition=not sufficient to meet a need | examples=an inadequate income
6. definition=unsatisfactory | examples=a poor light for reading

reasoning_content:
 Let me analyze the sentence and the senses provided.

The sentence is: "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the <t>poorest</t> of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message."

The word in question is "poorest" (superlative form of "poor").

Let me look at each sense:

1. "deserving or inciting pity" - This is about being pitiable or unfortunate. While ghettos might be pitiable, the context here seems to be about economic conditions rather than pity.

2. "having little money or few possessions" - This refers to poverty in terms of wealth. "Poorest of ghettos" would mean ghettos with the least amount of money/resources.

3. "characterized by or indicating poverty" - This is about showing signs of poverty. The example given is "the country had a poor economy."

4. "lacking in specific resources, qualities or substances" - This is about being deficient in something specific. Example: "poor land" (lacking nutrients).

5. "not sufficient to meet a need" - This is about inadequacy. Example: "an inadequate income."

6. "unsatisfactory" - This is about quality being bad. Example: "poor light for reading."

Now, looking at the sentence: "poorest of ghettos"

A ghetto is typically an area with poor people, economically disadvantaged. When we say "poorest of ghettos," we're talking about ghettos that have the least money or are most economically deprived.

Let me compare sense 2 and sense 3 more carefully:

Sense 2: "having little money or few possessions" - applies to people or entities that possess little wealth.
Sense 3: "characterized by or indicating poverty" - describes something that shows characteristics of poverty.

In the context "poorest of ghettos," we're describing ghettos (areas/neighborhoods) that have the least wealth.

However, looking at the example for sense 2: "deplored the gap between rich and poor countries" - here "poor" describes countries that have little money.

Looking at sense 3: "the country had a poor economy" - here "poor" describes the economy as being characterized by poverty.

Wait, let me reconsider. "Poorest of ghettos" - a ghetto is a area inhabited by poor people. The "poorest ghetto" would be the one where the inhabitants have the least money, or the area itself has the least wealth.

Actually, looking at sense 2 again: "having little money or few possessions"
And sense 3: "characterized by or indicating poverty"

Sense 2 focuses on the state of having little money (applies to the entity itself).
Sense 3 focuses on being characterized by poverty (showing signs of it).

But looking at the actual usage: When we say "poorest ghettos," we mean ghettos where the people have the least money - so sense 2.

Wait, let me look at sense 2's example again: "deplored the gap between rich and poor countries" - "poor countries" means countries with little money/resources. This fits.

Sense 3's example: "the country had a poor economy" - here the economy is described as poor (characterized by poverty).

But "poorest of ghettos" - this is describing the ghetto itself as having little wealth. A ghetto is a place/community.

Actually, looking more carefully: In WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 2 typically refers to people who are poor (having little money), while sense 3 refers to things characterized by poverty.

But the example for sense 2 includes "poor countries" - countries can be described as poor in the sense of having little money.

Let me think about the distinction:
- Sense 2: The entity itself lacks money (poor person, poor country)
- Sense 3: The entity is characterized by poverty (poor economy, poor neighborhood)

But "poorest ghettos" could go either way. However, looking at the example for sense 3: "characterized by or indicating poverty" with the example "the country had a poor economy" - this suggests sense 3 is about things that are indicative of poverty or consist of poverty.

Actually, looking at typical dictionary distinctions:
Sense 2: People who are poor (having little money)
Sense 3: Things/places that are indicative of poverty or characterized by it

But the example "poor countries" in sense 2 complicates this. Countries can be poor too.

Let me look at the actual sentence context again. The sentence mentions "successful schools... in the poorest of ghettos." This suggests economically deprived areas.

Given the options:
1. pitiable - doesn't fit well here
2. having little money - could fit "poorest ghettos" = ghettos with the least money/resources
3. characterized by poverty - could fit
4. lacking specific resources - too specific, not general poverty
5. insufficient - doesn't fit well with ghettos
6. unsatisfactory - could fit but less likely than economic poverty

Between 2 and 3:
Sense 2: "having little money or few possessions"
Sense 3: "characterized by or indicating poverty"

The key difference is that sense 2 refers to entities that possess little wealth themselves (people, countries), while sense 3 refers to things that are marked by poverty (economies, conditions).

But "ghetto" is a place. Places can be described as poor in sense 2 (like poor countries) or sense 3 (poor economy).

However, looking at the pattern in these senses, sense 2 is the primary definition of poor meaning economically deprived. The example "deplored the gap between rich and poor countries" shows that "poor" can apply to geopolitical entities.

"Poorest of ghettos" most naturally means the ghettos where the people have the least money - so sense 2.

Wait, I need to be careful. Let me check if there's a standard way these senses are distinguished.

Actually, looking at the wording again:
Sense 2: "having little money or few possessions"
Sense 3: "characterized by or indicating poverty"

"Poorest ghettos" - a ghetto doesn't possess money, the people in it do. But we describe ghettos as poor.

However, the example for sense 2 is "poor countries" - countries possess wealth (or lack it).

I think sense 2 is the correct answer. "Poorest" here means having the least money/resources.

But let me reconsider sense 3. "Characterized by or indicating poverty" - the poorest ghettos are those most characterized by poverty.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar frame:
Sense 2 usually corresponds to "poor people" - those lacking material possessions
Sense 3 usually corresponds to "poor area/economy" - characterized by poverty

But I'm not entirely sure. Let me think about the sentence meaning.

The sentence contrasts "successful schools" with "poorest ghettos" - the contrast is between success (achievement) and economic deprivation (poverty).

Given that "poor" applied to "ghettos" typically refers to economic status of the residents, and comparing with "poor countries" in sense 2, I believe sense 2 is correct.

Wait, I want to double-check the distinction between sense 2 and 3.

Sense 2: having little money or few possessions
Sense 3: characterized by or indicating poverty

A "poor economy" (sense 3) is an economy that is characterized by poverty.
A "poor country" (sense 2) is a country that has little money.

A "poor ghetto" - is it a ghetto that has little money (sense 2) or a ghetto characterized by poverty (sense 3)?

Actually, both could work, but looking at the examples provided:
- Sense 2: "deplored the gap between rich and poor countries" - this is about economic wealth disparity
- Sense 3: "the country had a poor economy" - this is about the quality/nature of the economy

"Poorest of ghettos" is more like "poor countries" than "poor economy." It's referring to the economic status of the area/its inhabitants.

Therefore, sense 2.

But let me also consider if it could be sense 3. "Characterized by poverty" - yes, ghettos are characterized by poverty.

However, the phrasing "the poorest of ghettos" suggests a ranking by level of poverty/economic resources, which aligns with sense 2 (having little money).

I think the answer is 2.

Actually, looking at the sentence once more: "some of them in the poorest of ghettos" - this is setting up a contrast: successful schools in poor areas. This reinforces the economic deprivation meaning (sense 2).

One more check: Could it be sense 1 (pitiable)? The "poorest of ghettos" could mean the most pitiable, but given the context of successful schools in poor neighborhoods, the economic meaning is primary.

Could it be sense 6 (unsatisfactory)? Unlikely.

So I'll go with 2.

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

Sentence: There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the <t>same</t> message.

Senses:
1. definition=same in identity | examples=the same man I saw yesterday
2. definition=closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree | examples=curtains the same color as the walls
3. definition=equal in amount or value | examples=like amounts
4. definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "same" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the <t>same</t> message."

The word "same" here modifies "message." The context suggests that despite being in different locations (including poor ghettos), these successful schools are sending a message that is identical or shared among them.

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=same in identity | examples=the same man I saw yesterday
   - This refers to the exact same entity, not just similar ones. Like "the same person" meaning one identical individual.

2. definition=closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree | examples=curtains the same color as the walls
   - This refers to things that match or are alike, but not necessarily identical in the sense of being one and the same entity.

3. definition=equal in amount or value | examples=like amounts
   - This is about numerical equality or equivalence in value.

4. definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same
   - This refers to something remaining constant over time, not changing.

In the sentence, "they are all sending us the same message" - this means the message is identical or shared among all these schools. It's not about the message being unchanged over time (sense 4). It's not about equal amounts (sense 3).

Between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1 emphasizes identity - the exact same thing (e.g., "the same man" = that specific individual)
- Sense 2 emphasizes similarity or comparability - things that match or are alike

When we say "the same message" in this context, we mean that all schools are sending a message that is identical in content - they are sending one shared message or messages that are identical to each other.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- "The same message" could mean they are all sending one identical message (sense 1 - same in identity, i.e., the message content is identical)
- Or it could mean the messages are very similar (sense 2)

But typically, when we say "the same message" from multiple sources, we mean the content is identical or equivalent. This is closer to sense 1 (same in identity) in terms of the content being the same, or sense 2 (closely similar).

Wait, let me reconsider the example for sense 1: "the same man I saw yesterday" - this refers to numerical identity, i.e., one and the same entity.

For sense 2: "curtains the same color as the walls" - this refers to qualitative identity, i.e., matching in some property.

In "they are all sending us the same message":
- If School A sends Message X and School B sends Message X, are they sending the same message?
- Strictly speaking, they are sending different physical instances of the message, but the content is identical.
- This is usually categorized as sense 1 when we treat the abstract message as being the same content.

But actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1 usually covers "identical" in the sense of "one and the same" or "exactly alike"
- Sense 2 covers "similar" or "alike"

In WordNet (which this looks like it might be based on), the senses are:
1. same(p), same(p) -- (same in identity; "the same man I saw yesterday"; "never wore the same dress twice"; "this road is the same one we were on yesterday"; "on the same side of the street")
2. same(p) -- (closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree; "curtains the same color as the walls"; "two girls of the same age"; "mother and son have the same blue eyes"; "animals of the same species"; "the same rules as before"; "two boxes having the same dimensions"; "the same day next year")
3. like, equal, equivalent, same(p) -- (equal in amount or value; "like amounts"; "equivalent amounts"; "the same amount"; "gave one six blows and the other a like number"; "the same number")
4. same(p) -- (unchanged in character or nature; "the village stayed the same"; "his attitude is the same as ever")

In the sentence "they are all sending us the same message", this is most likely sense 1 - same in identity. The message content is identical across all schools. It's not just similar (sense 2), it's the identical message content.

However, there's a subtle distinction. When multiple entities send "the same message", it could be interpreted as:
- Each sends a message, and all these messages are identical to each other (sense 1 - same in identity applied to the type/content)
- Or the messages are just very similar (sense 2)

But given the context "all sending us the same message", this strongly implies identity of content, not just similarity. The schools are united in what they are communicating.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "curtains the same color as the walls" - this is about two different things having a matching property.

For sense 1: "the same man" - this is about one thing being identical to a previously referenced thing.

In "the same message", if we consider that each school sends its own message, but they are all identical in content, this is more like sense 2 (closely similar/comparable) or sense 1?

Let me think about "the same rules". In sense 2 example: "the same rules as before" - wait, looking at the examples provided in the prompt for sense 2: "curtains the same color as the walls"

Actually, looking at standard WordNet data:
Sense 1: same in identity (the same man I saw yesterday)
Sense 2: closely similar or comparable (curtains the same color as the walls; two girls of the same age; the same rules as before)

Wait, "the same rules as before" - if rules are the same as before, that could be sense 4 (unchanged) or sense 2.

Let me reconsider. The key distinction:
- Sense 1: Numerical identity (one and the same thing)
- Sense 2: Qualitative identity (exactly alike, matching)
- Sense 3: Equal in amount/value
- Sense 4: Unchanged over time

In "they are all sending us the same message":
- This is not sense 3 (not about amounts)
- This is not sense 4 (not about staying unchanged over time)
- Between sense 1 and 2:

If I say "John and Mary sent the same message", I mean they sent messages with identical content. This is qualitative identity (sense 2), not numerical identity (sense 1), because there are two different physical messages (or two different instances of communication).

However, if I say "This is the same message I received yesterday", that could be sense 1 (numerical identity - the exact same message) or sense 2 (qualitative - a message with the same content).

But looking at the example for sense 1: "the same man I saw yesterday" - clearly numerical identity.
Example for sense 2: "curtains the same color as the walls" - clearly qualitative similarity/matching.

"Sending the same message" from multiple schools fits better with sense 2: the messages are closely similar or comparable (in fact, identical in content). But wait, sense 2 says "closely similar" which might allow for minor differences, whereas "the same message" usually means identical content.

But in WordNet, "the same rules" is listed under sense 2. "The same age" is sense 2. "The same color" is sense 2.

"Sending the same message" would be analogous to "the same color" - it's about the content being matching/identical in character.

Actually, looking carefully at the sentence: "they are all sending us the same message"

This could mean:
1. They are sending one collective message (unlikely)
2. Each is sending a message, and all these messages are identical in content

If 2, then it's about the messages being qualitatively identical, which is sense 2.

But let me check if there's any chance it's sense 1. Sense 1 requires identity - the exact same thing. If School A sends Message M1 and School B sends Message M2, and M1 and M2 have the same content, are they the "same message"? In one sense yes (same content), in another no (different tokens).

In natural language processing and word sense disambiguation tasks based on WordNet, "the same message" in contexts like "they gave the same answer" or "sending the same message" is typically tagged as sense 2 (similar/comparable) or sense 1?

Let me think about "the same answer". If two students give the same answer, is that sense 1 or 2?
- It's not sense 1 because there are two different answers (two pieces of paper, or two utterances).
- It's sense 2 because the answers match in content.

Similarly, "the same message" from multiple schools should be sense 2.

But wait, looking at the example for sense 1 again: "never wore the same dress twice" - here, "the same dress" means the identical dress (numerical identity).

For sense 2: "the same rules as before" - here, the rules now match the rules before (qualitative identity).

So "the same message" where multiple entities send messages that match would be sense 2.

However, there's a complication. Sometimes "message" can be treated as an abstract content, and "the same message" means the identical content, which blurs the line between sense 1 and 2.

But given the examples:
- Sense 1: the same man, the same dress, the same road, the same side
- Sense 2: same color, same age, same rules, same species, same dimensions

"Same message" is more like "same rules" than "same dress". With "same dress", you can't have two different dresses that are the same dress (unless you mean identical dresses, but even then, in WordNet, clothing items are usually sense 1 if referring to the specific garment, sense 2 if referring to the style).

Actually, "never wore the same dress twice" - this means the identical garment (sense 1).

"Two girls of the same age" - sense 2.

"They are sending the same message" - this is like "two girls of the same [property]" - sense 2.

Therefore, the answer should be 2.

But let me double-check. Is there any interpretation where it's sense 1? Only if we think of "the message" as a single abstract entity that multiple schools are jointly sending. But the sentence says "they are all sending us the same message" which implies each is sending it, and they are the same (identical).

Actually, looking at similar examples in word sense disambiguation datasets:

In SemCor or similar, "the same kind" is usually sense 2.
"the same thing" could be sense 1 or 2 depending on context.

But "the same message" from multiple sources... I think sense 2 is safer.

Wait, I should reconsider sense 4: "unchanged in character or nature". Could it be that? No, because it's not about the message staying the same over time, but about multiple schools sending identical messages.

Sense 3 is clearly about amounts.

So it's between 1 and 2.

Let me look at the exact wording of sense 1: "same in identity"
Sense 2: "closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree"

The key is "identity" vs "similar or comparable".

When two schools send the same message, the messages are comparable and similar (identical in content), but are they the same in identity? Not really - they are two different instances of communication.

Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

But I want to check one more thing. In some dictionaries, "same" when meaning "identical" (qualitatively) is distinguished from "same" meaning "the very same" (numerically).

Given the example "curtains the same color as the walls" for sense 2, and "the same man" for sense 1, the pattern is:
- Sense 1: coreference or numerical identity
- Sense 2: matching attributes

"Message" in "the same message" refers to the content. So it's about matching content - sense 2.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "majority" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "Conversely, there are the <t>majority</t> of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

The word "majority" here is used in the context of "the majority of unsuccessful schools" - this refers to the greater part or main part of something (unsuccessful schools).

Let me look at the senses:

1. "the property resulting from being or relating to the greater in number of two parts; the main part" - examples: "the majority of his customers prefer it"
   - This matches the usage in the sentence. "The majority of unsuccessful schools" means most of them, the greater part, the main part.

2. "(elections) more than half of the votes"
   - This is specifically about elections and voting. The sentence is about schools, not elections.

3. "the age at which persons are considered competent to manage their own affairs"
   - This refers to legal age (age of majority). The sentence is clearly not talking about age.

So the correct answer is sense 1.

The sentence uses "majority" to mean the greater number or main part of the unsuccessful schools. This aligns perfectly with sense 1.

I should return only the number: 1

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "school" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence:

"Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful <t>schools</t>, and we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

The word "schools" here is referring to educational institutions that can be "unsuccessful" and are subject to "educational reform."

Let me look at the options:

1. definition=an educational institution | examples=the school was founded in 1900
2. definition=a building where young people receive education | examples=the school was built in 1932
3. definition=the process of being formally educated at a school | examples=what will you do when you finish school?
4. definition=a body of creative artists or writers or thinkers linked by a similar style or by similar teachers | examples=the Venetian school of painting
5. definition=the period of instruction in a school; the time period when school is in session | examples=stay after school
6. definition=an educational institution's faculty and students | examples=the school keeps parents informed
7. definition=a large group of fish | examples=a school of small glittering fish swam by

The context is about "unsuccessful schools" and "educational reform." This suggests we're talking about the institution itself, not just the building (sense 2), not the process of education (sense 3), not an artistic movement (sense 4), not the time period (sense 5), not just the people (sense 6), and definitely not fish (sense 7).

Sense 1 is "an educational institution" - this fits best because the sentence is talking about schools as institutions that can be successful or unsuccessful and are subject to reform.

Sense 6 is "an educational institution's faculty and students" - while this could potentially fit, the example "the school keeps parents informed" suggests this refers to the collective body of people associated with the school. However, the sentence mentions "unsuccessful schools" in the context of educational reform, which typically refers to the institution as a whole (including its policies, leadership, structure, etc.), not just the faculty and students.

Also, looking at the phrase "majority of unsuccessful schools" - this is talking about multiple institutions. Sense 1 fits perfectly here.

The answer should be 1.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "know" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we <t>know</t> which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - The subject is "we"
 - The verb is "know"
 - The object is "which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand" - this is a clause acting as the object

 The meaning here is that "we" are aware or cognizant of the fact that certain efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand. We possess the information or knowledge about which specific efforts will fail.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" | examples=I know that the President lied to the people
    - This seems to fit. The example "I know that the President lied to the people" shows knowing a fact. In our sentence, we know which efforts are doomed - this is knowing a fact or specific piece of information.

 2. "know how to do or perform something" | examples=She knows how to knit
    - This is about skills/procedural knowledge. Doesn't fit.

 3. "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt" | examples=I know that I left the key on the table
    - This is similar to 1 but emphasizes certainty/belief. The example suggests being certain about something. This could potentially fit, but let's look more carefully.
    - Actually, sense 1 is about possessing information/knowledge about something.
    - Sense 3 is about being aware of the truth and having certainty.
    - In the sentence, "we know which efforts... are doomed" - this is about having information/being aware of specific facts, not necessarily about having faith or certainty beyond doubt in a belief.

 4. "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object" | examples=She doesn't know this composer
    - This is about familiarity with people or objects. Doesn't fit.

 5. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" | examples=I know the feeling!
    - This is about personal experience. Doesn't fit.

 6. "accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority" | examples=The Crown Prince was acknowledged as the true heir to the throne
    - This is about acknowledgment/recognition of status. Doesn't fit.

 7. "have fixed in the mind" | examples=I know Latin
    - This is about memorized knowledge or learned material. Doesn't fit.

 8. "have sexual intercourse with" | examples=This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm
    - Biblical/archaic usage. Doesn't fit.

 9. "know the nature or character of" | examples=we all knew her as a big show-off
    - This is about understanding someone's character. Doesn't fit.

 10. "be able to distinguish, recognize as being different" | examples=The child knows right from wrong
     - This is about discrimination between options. Doesn't fit exactly, though there's a "which" involved.

 11. "perceive as familiar" | examples=I know this voice!
     - This is about recognition. Doesn't fit.

 Now between 1 and 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 key difference:
 - Sense 1 focuses on possessing information, being aware of facts.
 - Sense 3 focuses on certainty, belief, regarding as true beyond doubt.

 In the sentence "we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand", the meaning is that we are aware of the specific efforts that will fail. We possess the information about which ones are doomed. This is about having knowledge/information (sense 1), not necessarily about having certainty or faith in a truth (sense 3).

 Also, looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 example: "I know that the President lied to the people" - this is knowing a fact.
 - Sense 3 example: "I know that I left the key on the table" - this is being certain about something (perhaps despite doubt or contrary evidence).

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (since these definitions look like they're from WordNet), sense 1 is typically the basic "know" with a that-clause or fact, while sense 3 is more about conviction.

 Wait, let me reconsider the exact wording of sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
 And the example: "I know that the President lied to the people"

 The sentence has: "we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand"
 This is knowing a specific piece of information (which efforts are doomed).

 Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"
 Example: "I know that I left the key on the table"

 Both could potentially work, but sense 1 is the more general "possess knowledge/information about" while sense 3 emphasizes the certainty aspect ("beyond any doubt").

 In the context of the sentence, it's about being aware of which specific efforts are doomed - this is possessing information. It's not emphasizing that we are certain beyond doubt, but rather that we have the knowledge to identify which efforts will fail.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

 Let me double-check by looking at the structure:
 - "know" + wh-clause (which efforts...)
 This is typically sense 1 - knowing information.

 Sense 3 is usually with "that" clauses expressing propositions that are held to be true with certainty.

 Actually, looking at the definitions again carefully:
 1. "possess knowledge or information about" - this fits "know which efforts..."
 3. "have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt" - this is more epistemic certainty.

 The sentence is saying we have the knowledge to identify which efforts are doomed. This is sense 1.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "effort" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which <t>efforts</t> at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

The word "efforts" here refers to attempts or actions taken toward educational reform. Let me look at each sense:

1. "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something" - This seems close. It refers to attempts or endeavors to accomplish something.

2. "use of physical or mental energy; hard work" - This refers to the exertion itself, the labor involved.

3. "a notable achievement" - This refers to a feat or accomplishment that has been completed.

4. "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end" - This sounds like a campaign or movement.

In the sentence, "efforts at educational reform" refers to attempts or endeavors to reform education. The phrase "which efforts... are doomed beforehand" suggests we're talking about specific attempts or endeavors that are destined to fail.

Looking at sense 1: "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something" - this fits well. Educational reform efforts are activities intended to accomplish educational reform.

Looking at sense 4: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end" - this could also fit, as educational reform could be seen as a series of actions toward a particular end.

But let me look more carefully. Sense 4 mentions "campaigns" in the example ("he supported populist campaigns"). This suggests sense 4 is more about organized campaigns or movements.

Sense 1 has the example "made an effort to cover all the reading material" - this is about an attempt to do something.

In the sentence, "efforts at educational reform" - this is talking about attempts or endeavors to reform education. The context suggests specific attempts or initiatives at reform.

Actually, looking at the definitions again:

Sense 1: earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something
Sense 4: a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end

The phrase "efforts at educational reform" could fit both, but I think sense 1 is the better fit because:
- It refers to the attempts themselves
- The word "effort" in sense 1 is about the activity/attempt
- Sense 4 seems more like "campaign" or "movement" - a sustained series of actions

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence says "which efforts at educational reform" - this suggests specific instances or types of reform efforts.

Looking at the examples:
Sense 1: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" - this is about making an attempt
Sense 4: "he supported populist campaigns" - this suggests organized efforts

Actually, I think sense 1 is correct. "Efforts at educational reform" means attempts at educational reform - earnest activities intended to accomplish educational reform.

But let me double-check sense 4. "A series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end" - this could describe reform efforts. However, the example "campaigns" suggests this is about organized political or social movements.

In the context of the sentence, it seems to be talking about attempts or endeavors (sense 1) rather than campaigns (sense 4).

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this format resembles):

Sense 1 usually corresponds to "attempt, endeavor, endeavour, effort, try, shot" - an attempt to do something
Sense 2 usually corresponds to "effort, elbow grease, exertion, sweat, travail" - use of energy
Sense 3 usually corresponds to "feat, effort, exploit" - a notable achievement
Sense 4 usually corresponds to "campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement, effort" - a series of actions advancing a principle

Given the sentence "efforts at educational reform", this is most likely sense 1 or sense 4.

But "efforts at educational reform" - the preposition "at" suggests "attempts at" which aligns with sense 1.

Also, the phrase "doomed beforehand" suggests these are attempts that are destined to fail, which fits sense 1 (attempts/endeavors).

Sense 4 would be more like "the effort to reform education" as a campaign or movement.

I think the answer is 1.

Wait, I should look at the exact wording again. The sentence is: "we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

This is referring to specific reform efforts or attempts. In lexical semantics, "effort" in this context is typically sense 1 - an attempt or endeavor.

Let me verify by considering if it could be sense 4. Sense 4 is "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end." Educational reform could be seen as a principle or end, and efforts could be campaigns toward it. But the phrase "efforts at" is more idiomatic with sense 1.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 4: "he supported populist campaigns" - this suggests that sense 4 is synonymous with "campaign."

But "efforts at educational reform" doesn't necessarily mean campaigns. It could mean attempts, initiatives, or endeavors.

I believe sense 1 is the correct answer.

Let me reconsider one more time. The word "effort" in the sentence is plural: "efforts".

Sense 1: earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something
Sense 4: a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end

Both can be plural. But sense 4 is specifically about campaigns or organized movements (as indicated by the example "campaigns").

The sentence is contrasting successful and unsuccessful schools, and mentions that we can predict which reform efforts will fail. This suggests specific attempts or initiatives.

I think it's sense 1.

Actually, looking at similar questions from Word Sense Disambiguation datasets, "effort" in the context of "efforts at reform" or similar is typically sense 1.

The answer should be 1.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "educational" is used in the given sentence. The word is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

 Sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at <t>educational</t> reform are doomed beforehand."

 The two senses are:
 1. relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology
 2. providing knowledge | examples=an educational film

 Let me analyze the context. The phrase is "educational reform".

 "Educational reform" refers to reform of the education system or the process of education. It's about changing how education is conducted, structured, or delivered.

 Sense 1: "relating to the process of education" - This fits because "educational reform" means reform related to the process/system of education.

 Sense 2: "providing knowledge" - This would apply to things like "an educational film" or "an educational experience" where the purpose is to teach or provide knowledge to the consumer/viewer/participant.

 In "educational reform", the word is describing the type of reform - it's reform of the education system, not reform that provides knowledge.

 So this is Sense 1.

 Examples comparison:
 - "educational psychology" (Sense 1 example) - psychology related to education as a field/process
 - "an educational film" (Sense 2 example) - a film that provides knowledge/education to viewers

 "Educational reform" is analogous to "educational psychology" - both relate to the field/system/process of education, rather than providing knowledge directly to a learner in that moment.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "reform" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational <t>reform</t> are doomed beforehand."

The word "reform" here is used in the context of "educational reform" and is described as something that people make "efforts at" and that can be "doomed beforehand."

Let me look at the three senses:

1. definition=a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses | examples=justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts
   - This refers to the actual change or improvement itself, particularly as a result of correcting abuses.

2. definition=a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices | examples=the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians
   - This refers to a campaign, effort, or proposal aimed at making changes. The example mentions "the reforms he proposed" which suggests plans or campaigns for change.

3. definition=self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice | examples=the family rejoiced in the drunkard's reform
   - This is about personal moral improvement, giving up bad habits.

In the sentence, "efforts at educational reform" suggests that reform here refers to attempts or campaigns to change the educational system. The phrase "efforts at" indicates that "reform" is something people are working toward or attempting to implement.

Looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 emphasizes the actual change or result ("a change for the better")
- Sense 2 emphasizes the campaign or effort aimed at correction ("a campaign aimed to correct")
- Sense 3 is about personal moral improvement

The sentence mentions "efforts at educational reform" - this suggests that "reform" here is the object of efforts, meaning the attempts to change the system.

But let me think about the specific wording. "Efforts at educational reform" could mean:
- Efforts aimed at bringing about reform (where reform = the change itself, sense 1)
- Efforts that are part of the reform campaign (where reform = the campaign, sense 2)

However, looking at the example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians" - this shows "reforms" as things that can be proposed, which aligns with "educational reform" being something that efforts are directed at.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand"

This is talking about attempts to reform education. The word "reform" here is being used to mean the process or campaign of making changes to the educational system.

Let me compare the definitions again:
- Sense 1: "a change for the better" - the result
- Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses" - the effort or movement
- Sense 3: "self-improvement" - personal change

In the context of "educational reform," this typically refers to the movement or efforts to change the education system. The phrase "efforts at educational reform" suggests that reform is the goal or the campaign itself.

But wait - "efforts at reform" could mean:
1. Efforts aimed at achieving reform (where reform = the change, sense 1)
2. Efforts that constitute the reform campaign (where reform = the campaign, sense 2)

Looking at the example for sense 1: "justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts" - here "reform" refers to the actual changes made to the law courts.

Looking at the example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed were too radical" - here "reforms" refers to proposals or plans for change.

In the given sentence: "efforts at educational reform" - this is most similar to sense 2. Educational reform is a campaign or movement to correct problems in education. The word "efforts" aligns with "campaign" in the definition.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase is "efforts at educational reform."

If reform = change for the better (sense 1), then "efforts at reform" means efforts to achieve that change.
If reform = campaign (sense 2), then "efforts at reform" means efforts as part of that campaign, or efforts toward that campaign.

But looking at the example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed" - these are specific proposals or measures for change.

In modern usage, "educational reform" usually refers to the movement or set of changes being proposed or implemented in education.

However, looking at the specific definitions provided:
Sense 1: "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses"
Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices"

The key difference is:
- Sense 1 is the actual change/improvement itself
- Sense 2 is the campaign or movement to make the change

In the sentence "we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed," the word "reform" is modified by "educational" and is the object of "efforts at."

I think the most accurate reading is Sense 2. Why? Because "educational reform" refers to the campaign or movement to change education. The phrase "efforts at" suggests attempts to carry out this reform.

But actually, looking at it again, "reform" in "educational reform" is typically used to mean the process or movement of changing the system, which aligns with sense 2 (a campaign).

Let me check the example for sense 1 again: "justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts" - here "reform" is a specific instance of change that happened to the law courts.

Example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed were too radical" - here "reforms" are proposals or plans.

In our sentence: "efforts at educational reform" - this is talking about attempts to change the education system.

Actually, I need to be more careful. The phrase "educational reform" is a compound noun. Is the reform:
1. A change that happens to education (sense 1)?
2. A campaign concerning education (sense 2)?
3. Self-improvement in education (sense 3 - unlikely)?

Given that the sentence mentions "unsuccessful schools" and "doomed" efforts, this is about attempts to fix the education system.

I think the answer is Sense 2. The word "reform" here refers to the campaign or movement to correct abuses in education. The phrase "efforts at" fits well with "campaign" - efforts at a campaign to correct abuses.

Wait, let me look at the wording of sense 2 again: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices"

And the sentence: "efforts at educational reform"

Hmm, "efforts at reform" could be interpreted as efforts directed toward the reform (where reform is the change, sense 1).

But let's look at the example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians"

This shows that "reforms" can be things that are proposed - i.e., proposals for change.

In our sentence, "educational reform" is something that efforts are directed at.

Actually, I think I need to look at this differently. The phrase "educational reform" is the object of the preposition "at" in "efforts at."

"Efforts at reform" = attempts to reform
"Efforts at campaign" doesn't make as much sense.

But looking at the definition of sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses"

If "reform" = "campaign", then "efforts at reform" = "efforts at a campaign" which is a bit redundant but possible.

However, looking at sense 1: "a change for the better"
"Efforts at change" = attempts to bring about change.

I think the key is in the example for sense 2: "the reforms he proposed"

In the sentence, "educational reform" is parallel to "the reforms he proposed" - it's the proposed changes or the campaign for change.

Let me think about the word "doomed" in the sentence. "Efforts at educational reform are doomed."

If reform is the change itself (sense 1), then efforts to achieve that change are doomed.
If reform is the campaign (sense 2), then efforts as part of that campaign are doomed.

Actually, reading the sentence again: "we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand."

This suggests that there are multiple efforts at reform, and some are doomed. This treats "reform" as a field or area of activity - which aligns with sense 2 (campaign).

But let me look at the first sense example again: "justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts"

Here, "reform" is a specific event or set of changes.

The second sense example: "the reforms he proposed were too radical"

Here, "reforms" are proposals or plans.

In our sentence: "educational reform" - in common parlance, this refers to the movement or set of proposed changes to improve education. This is sense 2.

Also, the word "reform" in the sentence is singular: "educational reform" not "educational reforms."

Sense 1 can be singular: "the reform of the law courts"
Sense 2 can be plural or singular: "the reforms he proposed" or "a campaign..."

Actually, looking at sense 2 definition: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses"

"Educational reform" as a campaign to correct abuses in education fits sense 2.

Sense 1 would be "a change for the better in education" - the actual improvement.

The sentence says "efforts at educational reform are doomed" - this suggests that the attempts to carry out the reform are doomed. This fits sense 2 better because sense 2 is about the campaign/efforts, while sense 1 is about the result.

Wait, that's an important insight. If sense 1 is the actual change (result), and sense 2 is the campaign (process/effort), then:

"Efforts at [sense 1]" = efforts to achieve the change
"Efforts at [sense 2]" = efforts as part of the campaign

But "efforts at campaign" is a bit odd. Usually we say "campaign efforts" or "efforts in the campaign."

Actually, looking at the phrase "efforts at reform" - this is a common collocation meaning attempts to bring about reform.

I think the answer is 2. Let me verify by checking if there's any indication that this is about personal self-improvement (sense 3) - no, it's about schools and education system.

Between 1 and 2:
- Sense 1: the actual improvement/change
- Sense 2: the campaign to make the change

"Educational reform" in the context of "unsuccessful schools" and "doomed efforts" refers to the attempts to fix the system - the campaign or movement. This is sense 2.

The example for sense 2 mentions "the reforms he proposed" - proposals for change. Educational reform consists of proposals and efforts to change the system.

I believe the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are <t>doomed</t> beforehand.

Senses:

2. definition=in danger of the eternal punishment of Hell | examples=poor damned souls

4. definition=(usually followed by `to') determined by tragic fate | examples=doomed to unhappiness

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "doomed" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we know which efforts at educational reform are <t>doomed</t> beforehand."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - It talks about "efforts at educational reform"
 - These efforts are described as "doomed beforehand"
 - The context suggests that these efforts are destined to fail or have bad fortune from the start

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "marked for certain death" - This usually refers to living beings facing death. The subject here is "efforts at educational reform" (abstract concepts/plans), not living beings. So probably not sense 1.

 2. "in danger of the eternal punishment of Hell" - This is a religious/theological sense. The context is about educational reform, not religion or souls. So not sense 2.

 3. "marked by or promising bad fortune" - The example given is "their business venture was doomed from the start". This fits well with "efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand". Both suggest something is destined to fail or have bad outcomes from the beginning.

 4. "(usually followed by `to') determined by tragic fate" - The example is "doomed to unhappiness". This sense usually requires the preposition "to" followed by a noun or verb indicating the fate. In our sentence, "doomed" is followed by "beforehand" (an adverb), not "to". Also, the structure "doomed beforehand" suggests the timing of the doom (before it happens), not the specific fate determined by tragic fate.

 Looking at sense 3 again: "marked by or promising bad fortune" with the example "their business venture was doomed from the start". This matches "efforts... are doomed beforehand" - both indicate that something is destined to fail from the beginning.

 Sense 4 requires "to" after "doomed" (as indicated by the definition), but in the sentence, "doomed" is followed by "beforehand", not "to". So sense 4 is unlikely.

 Therefore, the correct answer is sense 3.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 4. The definition says "(usually followed by `to') determined by tragic fate". In the sentence, we have "doomed beforehand". "Beforehand" is an adverb modifying when they are doomed, not what they are doomed to. So this doesn't fit the pattern of sense 4.

 Sense 3 fits because it means marked by bad fortune/promising bad fortune, and "beforehand" indicates from the start/before it begins, which aligns with the example "doomed from the start".

 So the answer is 3.
