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

Sentence: It can be used to <t>define</t> a container.

Senses:
1. definition=determine the essential quality of
2. definition=give a definition for the meaning of a word | examples=Define `sadness'
3. definition=determine the nature of | examples=What defines a good wine?
4. definition=show the form or outline of | examples=The tree was clearly defined by the light
5. definition=decide upon or fix definitely | examples=fix the variables

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "define" is used in the sentence: "It can be used to <t>define</t> a container."

Let me analyze the sentence and the senses:

Sentence: "It can be used to define a container."

This sounds like it's talking about creating or specifying what a container is, or perhaps outlining/delineating the boundaries of a container.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "determine the essential quality of" - This is about identifying the fundamental nature or characteristics of something.

2. "give a definition for the meaning of a word" - This is specifically about defining words or terms linguistically. Example given: "Define `sadness'".

3. "determine the nature of" - Similar to 1, but perhaps broader. Example: "What defines a good wine?"

4. "show the form or outline of" - This is about physically or visually delineating boundaries. Example: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - here it means the light made the outline/shape of the tree visible/clear.

5. "decide upon or fix definitely" - This is about setting or fixing something definitively. Example mentions "fix the variables."

Now, looking at the sentence "It can be used to define a container" - without more context, this is ambiguous, but let's think about common usages.

If we're talking about software/programming (which "container" often refers to in tech contexts), "define a container" could mean to specify/create a container object or structure.

If we're talking about physical objects, it could mean to delineate the boundaries.

But looking at the example for sense 4: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - this suggests making the outline visible.

However, "define a container" without additional context like "by the light" or similar could mean:
- To specify what a container is (sense 1 or 3)
- To create/specify a container in code (sense 5 - fix definitely/set)
- To delineate the boundaries (sense 4)

But wait, looking at the example for sense 4 again: "show the form or outline of" - this seems to fit if we're talking about delineating the physical boundaries of a container.

However, I need to be careful. The sentence "It can be used to define a container" is quite generic.

Let me reconsider the senses more carefully:

Sense 1: determine the essential quality of - This is about essence/nature.
Sense 2: give a definition for the meaning of a word - This is lexicographic.
Sense 3: determine the nature of - Similar to 1, example asks what defines a good wine (what makes it what it is).
Sense 4: show the form or outline of - This is about making visible or delineating the shape/boundaries.
Sense 5: decide upon or fix definitely - This is about setting/fixing.

In many contexts, especially technical ones (programming, mathematics), "define" means to specify or set something (sense 5). But "define a container" could also mean to determine what constitutes a container (sense 1 or 3).

But looking at the specific wording: "It can be used to define a container."

If this is from a WordNet or similar lexical database, I should think about how these senses are distinguished.

Actually, looking at the examples:
- Sense 4 has the example: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - this is about making the outline visible.
- Sense 5 has: "fix the variables" - this is about setting values.

For "define a container", if we're talking about drawing or creating a visual representation, it would be sense 4.
If we're talking about establishing what a container is in a system, it might be sense 5.
If we're talking about explaining what the word "container" means, it would be sense 2.

But the sentence doesn't specify "the word container" or similar, so probably not 2.

Between 1, 3, 4, and 5:

Sense 1 and 3 are quite similar. Sense 1 is "determine the essential quality of" and Sense 3 is "determine the nature of". These are very close.

Sense 4 is about physical form/outline.
Sense 5 is about fixing/deciding definitely.

Without more context, this is tricky. But let me think about the phrase "define a container" in common usage.

In programming: "define a container" usually means to declare/specify it (sense 5).
In general English: "define the container" might mean to delineate its boundaries (sense 4).

But wait, looking at the structure of the question, this seems like it might be from a specific dataset like Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) task.

Let me think about the specific example. The sentence is: "It can be used to define a container."

If "it" refers to something like "a line", "a border", "light", or "shadow", then it would be sense 4 (show the form or outline).
If "it" refers to "criteria", "characteristics", then it might be sense 1 or 3.
If "it" refers to "this code", "this function", then it might be sense 5.

Given that sense 4 specifically mentions showing form or outline, and containers have physical boundaries, sense 4 seems plausible if we're talking about delineating.

However, looking at the example for sense 4: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - the structure is "X was defined by Y" (passive), whereas our sentence is active: "to define a container".

But sense 5 example: "fix the variables" - this is about setting values.

Actually, looking at WordNet senses (which this appears to be based on):

WordNet define:
1. determine the essential quality of
2. give a definition for the meaning of a word
3. determine the nature of
4. show the form or outline of
5. decide upon or fix definitely

The sentence "It can be used to define a container" - if this is from a specific corpus, I need to guess based on typical usage.

But actually, looking at the pattern, this looks like it could be from the Word Sense Induction dataset or similar.

Let me reconsider. The most likely answer depends on the context. But given the options, and that "container" is a physical object or a logical construct:

If it's about programming: sense 5 (decide upon or fix definitely - i.e., specify)
If it's about delineating boundaries: sense 4 (show the form or outline)

But "define a container" in the sense of "delineate" (sense 4) would typically require some context like "the walls define the container" or similar.

Actually, looking at sense 4's example: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - this means the light made the outline of the tree visible. So "define" here means "delineate" or "mark the boundaries of".

If the sentence is "It can be used to define a container", and "it" is something like "the outline", "the border", then sense 4 fits.

But if "it" is a definition or criteria, then sense 1 or 3.

Given the ambiguity, I should look for clues in the wording. The sentence uses "a container" not "the container", which suggests it might be about creating or specifying a container instance, which aligns with sense 5 (fix definitely, specify).

However, looking at similar WSD examples online or in standard datasets:

Actually, I recall that in many WSD datasets, "define" when used with physical objects like "container", "boundary", "edge" often maps to sense 4 (delineate).

But let me think about the specific phrase "define a container".

If we consider "define" as in "delineate", we might say "The lines define the container."
If we consider "define" as in "specify/create", we might say "This code defines a container."

Given that the user hasn't provided context for what "it" refers to, but looking at the pattern of such questions, they often test the distinction between:
- Sense 2 (defining words/meanings)
- Sense 4 (delineating physical forms)
- Sense 5 (specifying/fixing)

Sense 2 is unlikely because there's no mention of words or meanings.

Between 4 and 5:
Sense 4 is about showing the form or outline.
Sense 5 is about deciding upon or fixing definitely.

"Define a container" could mean to create/specify a container (sense 5), or to delineate its boundaries (sense 4).

But looking at the WordNet definitions more carefully:

Sense 4: "show the form or outline of" - synonyms might include "delineate", "outline"
Sense 5: "decide upon or fix definitely" - synonyms include "specify", "set", "fix"

In programming contexts, we "define variables", "define functions", "define containers" - this is sense 5.

In physical contexts, we might say "the walls define the space" - this could be sense 4 (show the outline) or sense 1/3 (determine the nature).

But given the example for sense 4 specifically mentions visual delineation ("by the light"), and sense 5 mentions fixing variables, I think for "define a container" where container is likely a software container or logical container, sense 5 is most appropriate.

Wait, but I should check if there's a standard answer for this specific sentence. Since I don't have access to external databases, I need to reason based on the definitions.

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "It can be used to define a container."

This could be from a manual about drawing software: "The rectangle tool can be used to define a container."
Or from a programming manual: "This class can be used to define a container."

If it's drawing software, sense 4 (show the form/outline).
If it's programming, sense 5 (specify/fix).

But sense 1: "determine the essential quality of" - this would be like "What defines a container?" asking what makes something a container.
Sense 3: "determine the nature of" - similar.

The active use "to define a container" suggests creating or establishing the container, not analyzing its essential qualities.

Between sense 4 and 5, I think sense 5 is more likely for "define a container" in a general modern context (software), but sense 4 is possible if it's about physical delineation.

However, looking at the example for sense 4: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - this is a passive construction where the subject is the thing being defined, and the agent is what makes it visible.

Our sentence is active: "to define a container".

Sense 5 example: "fix the variables" - active.

Also, looking at WordNet sense 5: "decide upon or fix definitely" - this includes meanings like "specify".

I think the answer is likely 5 or 4.

But let me reconsider sense 1 and 3. Could "define a container" mean to determine its essential quality? Only if we're talking about analyzing it, not creating it. The phrase "can be used to" suggests a tool or method for creating/establishing, not analyzing.

So between 4 and 5.

If "container" is interpreted as a CSS container or UI element, sense 5.
If "container" is interpreted as a physical box, sense 4.

Given the lack of context, and that sense 4 specifically mentions "show the form or outline", which is a specific visual meaning, while sense 5 is more general "fix/specify", and "define" is very commonly used in the sense of "specify" (sense 5) in technical writing, I lean toward 5.

But I want to double-check. Is there any chance it's sense 1 or 3?

Sense 1 example from WordNet: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - actually, looking up WordNet, sense 4 is "delineate, limn, outline" - to determine the essential quality of something.

Wait, I think I need to be more careful. Let me recall WordNet senses for "define":

From WordNet 3.0:
1. specify, define, delineate, delimit, delimitate - determine the essential quality of
2. define - give a definition for the meaning of a word; "What does the word `plenum' mean?"
3. define - determine the nature of; "What defines a good wine?"
4. define, delineate - show the form or outline of; "The tree was clearly defined by the light"
5. specify, set, determine, define, fix, limit - decide upon or fix definitely; "fix the variables"

Actually, looking at this:
Sense 1: specify, delineate, delimit - determine the essential quality of
Sense 4: define, delineate - show the form or outline of
Sense 5: specify, set, determine, define, fix, limit - decide upon or fix definitely

There's overlap between sense 1 and 4 and 5.

Sense 1 is about determining essential qualities (like what makes something what it is).
Sense 4 is about showing the outline/form (visual).
Sense 5 is about fixing/specifying values or parameters.

For "define a container":
- If it means to specify what constitutes a container (criteria): sense 1 or 3
- If it means to draw the outline: sense 4
- If it means to create/specify a particular container instance: sense 5

Given the sentence "It can be used to define a container", without context, the most neutral interpretation is sense 5 (specify/fix), as it's the most general sense of "define" when used with objects in a creative/establishing sense.

However, looking at the exact wording of sense 4's definition: "show the form or outline of" - this is quite specific to visual representation.

And sense 5: "decide upon or fix definitely" - this is about establishing parameters.

In many WSD test sets, "define" + concrete noun (like container) often maps to sense 4 if it's about boundaries, or sense 5 if it's about specification.

But I found a similar example online or in my training data: "The camera is used to define the container" might be sense 4, but "This function is used to define a container" is sense 5.

Given the ambiguity, and that the user asks for only the number, I need to make a best guess.

Actually, looking at the pattern of the senses provided, they look like they might be from the Oxford English Dictionary or similar, or perhaps the WordNet definitions simplified.

Sense 4: "show the form or outline of" - this is clearly delineation.
Sense 5: "decide upon or fix definitely" - this is specification.

I think for "define a container", if we consider common usage in technical documentation (which this sentence resembles), sense 5 is most likely.

But let me reconsider sense 1: "determine the essential quality of". Could "define a container" mean to figure out what makes something a container? Like "This study will define a container [in terms of its properties]"? That's possible but less likely with "can be used to".

I think I'll go with 5.

Wait, I should check if "define" in the context of "container" could mean to set the boundaries. For example, in shipping or logistics, "define a container" might mean to specify which container or to establish the container parameters.

But actually, looking at the example for sense 4 again: "The tree was clearly defined by the light" - this is about making visible.

And for sense 5: "fix the variables" - this is about setting.

I think the answer is 5.

But I'm not entirely sure. Let me think if there's any other clue.

The sentence is: "It can be used to define a container."

If this is from a software context (very common), then it's definitely sense 5.
If it's from an art/drawing context, it could be sense 4.

Given that "container" is often used in software contexts (containerization, Docker, etc.), and the sentence structure is typical of technical documentation, I'll go with 5.

However, looking at the other senses, sense 1 is also possible if it means "determine the essential quality of a container", but that would be an unusual way to phrase it.

Let me reconsider sense 4. Could "define a container" mean to draw its outline? Yes, if "it" is a pen or drawing tool. But "define" in that sense is less common than "delineate" or "outline". People usually say "draw the outline" rather than "define the container" when speaking of physical drawing, though "define the boundaries" is common.

"Define the boundaries" would likely be sense 4 or 1.

But "define a container" as a whole...

I think I need to choose 5.

Final check: In WordNet, sense 5 is the most frequent sense for "define" when used with objects in a constructive/specifying context. Sense 4 is specifically for visual delineation.

Therefore, my answer is 5.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "useful" is used in the sentence: "Mainly <t>useful</t> for working with piecewise."

I have two senses to choose from:
1. definition=being of use or service | examples=the girl felt motherly and useful
2. definition=having a useful function | examples=utilitarian steel tables

Let me analyze the sentence: "Mainly useful for working with piecewise."

The word "useful" here describes something (likely a tool, function, or method) that is beneficial or serves a purpose for working with piecewise functions or piecewise data.

Sense 1: "being of use or service" - This is a general definition about being helpful or beneficial.
Sense 2: "having a useful function" - This seems to emphasize having a function that is useful, often used for objects or tools.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "the girl felt motherly and useful" - describes a person feeling useful
- Sense 2 example: "utilitarian steel tables" - describes objects with practical function

The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" seems to be describing something (probably a mathematical tool, software feature, or method) that is of use or service for a specific task.

However, looking closely at sense 2: "having a useful function" - this could also fit if we're talking about a tool or feature that has a function.

But sense 1 "being of use or service" is the broader, more general definition that applies when something is helpful or beneficial for a purpose.

Actually, looking at typical dictionary distinctions:
- Sense 1 is usually the general sense of "being of use; helpful"
- Sense 2 often relates to "functional" vs "decorative" - having utility rather than just being ornamental

In the sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise", the word is describing something that is helpful or beneficial for a specific task. This aligns with sense 1.

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence structure "Mainly useful for..." suggests describing the utility or service something provides.

Sense 1: "being of use or service" - fits well with "useful for [purpose]"
Sense 2: "having a useful function" - also could fit, but typically implies the object itself has a function (is utilitarian)

Given the example for sense 2 is "utilitarian steel tables", this suggests sense 2 is about being utilitarian or functional (as opposed to decorative).

The sentence doesn't suggest a contrast between decorative and functional. It simply states that something is helpful for a specific task. Therefore, sense 1 is more appropriate.

But I should look at the specific context. "Working with piecewise" likely refers to piecewise functions in mathematics or programming. The sentence is saying something is mainly useful for that purpose.

Both senses could arguably fit, but sense 1 is the more general "being of use or service" which applies to contexts where something is helpful or beneficial.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this format resembles):
- Sense 1 usually corresponds to "useful (a): being of use or service"
- Sense 2 might correspond to "useful" in the sense of "functional, utilitarian"

Given the example "utilitarian steel tables" for sense 2, this emphasizes the practical functionality of physical objects.

The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" doesn't specify if it's about a physical object or abstract tool, but "being of use or service" (sense 1) is the more general applicable sense.

However, looking at the exact wording:
Sense 1: "being of use or service"
Sense 2: "having a useful function"

If we're talking about software or a mathematical method, "having a useful function" could mean it serves a function.

But I think the key distinction is:
- Sense 1 = helpful, beneficial (general)
- Sense 2 = utilitarian, functional (as opposed to decorative)

Since there's no contrast with decorative/non-functional implied in the sentence, and it's simply stating that something is helpful for a task, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Wait, I should reconsider. The phrase "Mainly useful for..." is a very common collocation. Let me think about which sense this maps to in standard lexical databases.

In WordNet:
- useful#1: having a useful function; "utilitarian steel tables"
- useful#2: being of use or service; "the girl felt motherly and useful"

Actually, I might have the order reversed. Let me check typical WordNet entries.

In WordNet 3.0:
useful (adjective)
1. useful, utilitarian -- (having a useful function; "the girl felt motherly and useful"; "a useful device")
2. beneficial, good, useful -- (promoting or enhancing well-being; "a useful child")

Wait, that's not right either.

Let me think about this differently. The examples given are:
1. examples=the girl felt motherly and useful
2. examples=utilitarian steel tables

If sense 2 has the example "utilitarian steel tables", and the definition is "having a useful function", then sense 2 is about being functional or utilitarian.

Sense 1 with example "the girl felt motherly and useful" suggests a person feeling that they are of service or helpful to others.

The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" describes something (likely a tool, function, or feature) that serves a purpose.

If it's describing a mathematical function or software feature, "having a useful function" (sense 2) might fit because it's about having a practical function.

But "being of use or service" (sense 1) also fits because it means it's helpful.

However, looking at the examples:
- "the girl felt motherly and useful" - personal, emotional sense of being helpful
- "utilitarian steel tables" - objective, functional description

The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" seems more objective and functional, describing a tool or method's utility. This aligns more with sense 2.

But wait, "useful for" is a very common phrase. Let me reconsider.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
Sense 1 usually: "able to be used for a practical purpose or in several ways" (general)
Sense 2 might be: "functional" as opposed to decorative

Given the example for sense 1 is about a girl feeling useful (personal, subjective), and sense 2 is about steel tables (objective, functional), and the target sentence seems to be describing an objective utility (probably of a tool or method), sense 2 might be intended.

But I'm not entirely sure. Let me look at the phrase "Mainly useful for working with piecewise." This looks like it could be from a technical documentation or software manual, describing a feature or function.

If it's describing a function or feature, then "having a useful function" (sense 2) would be quite literal - it has a function that is useful.

But "being of use or service" (sense 1) is also correct.

However, looking at the distinction between the two senses:
- Sense 1 focuses on the state of being helpful or beneficial (service)
- Sense 2 focuses on having a practical function (utility)

Given that "working with piecewise" is a specific functional application, and the phrase describes the utility of something for that task, and given that sense 2's example is "utilitarian steel tables" which emphasizes practical application, I think sense 2 is the intended answer.

But I'm uncertain. Let me reconsider the example "the girl felt motherly and useful". This suggests sense 1 is about the quality of being helpful or beneficial in a general sense, applicable to people and things.

The example "utilitarian steel tables" for sense 2 suggests this sense is specifically about being functional or practical (utilitarian).

The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" emphasizes the practical application for a specific task. This aligns with the utilitarian connotation of sense 2.

However, "useful" in the sense of "being of use or service" is the primary definition.

Let me check if there's a pattern in how these senses are distinguished. Often in such datasets:
- Sense 1: General "helpful, beneficial"
- Sense 2: Specific "functional, serving a purpose"

Given the specific context "for working with piecewise", this indicates a specific functional application, which points to sense 2.

But actually, looking at the sentence structure again, without more context, it's hard to tell if it's describing a person, tool, or abstract concept.

Given the ambiguity, I should look at which sense is more likely given the specific phrasing "Mainly useful for..."

In many lexical semantic datasets (like WordNet), "useful" senses are distinguished as:
1. Having utility; serving a useful purpose
2. Capable of being turned to use or account

But I don't have the exact dataset.

Given the examples:
1. "the girl felt motherly and useful" - this is about being helpful, of service
2. "utilitarian steel tables" - this is about having a practical function

The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" is describing the utility of something for a specific task. This is closer to sense 1 "being of use or service" because it emphasizes that it serves the purpose of working with piecewise.

Sense 2 "having a useful function" might imply that the thing itself is a function or has a function, but the sentence emphasizes the service it provides (being useful for...).

Actually, looking at it again, if the sentence is describing a mathematical function or programming function, then "having a useful function" (sense 2) would be very literal.

But if it's describing a tool or person, sense 1 might be better.

Given the phrase "working with piecewise", this is likely technical documentation about a software feature or mathematical tool. In such contexts, "useful" typically means "having practical utility" which aligns with sense 2.

However, I think the safest answer is sense 1, as it is the broader sense that encompasses being helpful or beneficial for a purpose.

Wait, I notice that sense 2's definition is "having a useful function". This is somewhat circular or meta - it defines "useful" by referring to "useful function". This suggests sense 2 is about the property of having a function that is useful, i.e., being functional.

Sense 1 "being of use or service" is the more direct definition.

Given that "Mainly useful for..." indicates the purpose or service it provides, sense 1 seems correct.

But let me reconsider the examples once more. If sense 1 is illustrated by a person feeling useful, and sense 2 by utilitarian tables, and the target is likely an object or abstract tool, sense 2 might be intended to distinguish between decorative and functional objects.

However, "Mainly useful for..." doesn't contrast with decorative. It simply states the purpose.

I think I'll go with sense 1.

Actually, looking at similar tasks from datasets like WiC (Word in Context) or similar lexical semantic tasks, the distinction is often:
- Sense A: generally helpful, beneficial
- Sense B: functional, serving a practical purpose

Given "Mainly useful for working with piecewise", this is clearly about serving a practical purpose, which could be sense 2.

But the example for sense 1 "the girl felt motherly and useful" also shows serving a purpose (being motherly and useful).

I think I need to make a decision. I'll go with sense 1, as it is the primary sense of "being of use or service" which fits the context of being helpful for a specific task.

Final check: The sentence is "Mainly useful for working with piecewise."
- If sense 1: It is of service/helpful for working with piecewise.
- If sense 2: It has a useful function for working with piecewise.

Both work, but sense 1 is more general and likely the intended primary sense.

Actually, looking at the format, this might be from the Oxford English Dictionary or similar, where:
1. Able to be used for a practical purpose or in several ways
2. Functional rather than decorative

If so, "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" would be sense 1.

I'll return 1.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "work" is used in the sentence: "Mainly useful for <t>working</t> with piecewise."

 Let me analyze the sentence. The phrase is "working with piecewise."

 "Piecewise" typically refers to piecewise functions or piecewise-defined functions in mathematics, or it could refer to working with something in pieces or sections.

 Let me look at the context: "Mainly useful for working with piecewise."

 This seems to be describing a tool, function, or method that is useful for handling or manipulating piecewise functions or piecewise data.

 Let me examine the senses:

 1. exert oneself by doing mental or physical work - "working with piecewise" could fit, but let's check others.
 2. be employed - doesn't fit.
 3. have an effect or outcome - doesn't fit well.
 4. perform as expected - doesn't fit.
 5. shape, form, or improve a material - could be, but "piecewise" is not typically a material.
 6. give a workout to - doesn't fit.
 7. proceed along a path - doesn't fit.
 8. operate in a certain place, area, or specialty - "work the night clubs" - this is about operating in a location.

 Let me reconsider. The phrase is "working with piecewise."

 In mathematical or technical contexts, "work with" often means to manipulate, handle, operate on, or use.

 Looking at sense 16: "operate in or through" - examples: "Work the phones". This means to use or operate the phones.

 Looking at sense 17: "cause to operate or function" - examples: "This pilot works the controls". This is about making controls work.

 Looking at sense 1: "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work" - "working with piecewise" could mean doing mental work involving piecewise functions.

 But let me think about the specific context. The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" suggests a tool or software feature that is useful for handling, manipulating, or operating on piecewise functions.

 Sense 16: "operate in or through" - Work the phones. This could mean using the phones.

 Actually, looking more carefully at sense 16: "operate in or through | examples=Work the phones"

 And sense 8: "operate in a certain place, area, or specialty | examples=She works the night clubs"

 Sense 9: "proceed towards a goal or along a path or through an activity | examples=work your way through every problem or task"

 But "working with piecewise" is most similar to sense 1: doing mental work with piecewise functions.

 However, let me look at sense 23: "use or manipulate to one's advantage | examples=He exploit the new taxation system"

 The example seems wrong (it says "exploit" not "work"), but the definition is "use or manipulate to one's advantage".

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "Mainly useful for <t>working</t> with piecewise."

 This could be from a documentation or description of a software tool or mathematical method.

 "Work with" is a phrasal verb. In many dictionaries, "work with" can mean:
 - to collaborate with
 - to use or manipulate
 - to handle or process

 Let me look at the senses again more carefully:

 Sense 1: exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity
 - This is the general sense of performing work. "Working with piecewise" could fit here as doing mental work involving piecewise functions.

 Sense 16: operate in or through
 - "Work the phones" means to use the phones, to operate them.

 Sense 17: cause to operate or function
 - "This pilot works the controls" - the pilot makes the controls function.

 Sense 21: move into or onto
 - "work the raisins into the dough" - incorporate.

 Sense 23: use or manipulate to one's advantage
 - "He exploit the new taxation system" - the example is weird, it should be "works" not "exploit".

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet senses (which this appears to be based on), let me think about which WordNet sense "work with" corresponds to.

 In WordNet, "work" has many senses. The phrase "work with" in the context of handling or manipulating data or mathematical objects...

 Sense 1 seems most likely: "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work"
 - "I will work hard to improve my grades" - this is about exerting effort.

 But "working with piecewise" is about the activity of handling piecewise functions.

 Actually, looking at sense 24: "find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of"
 - examples: "did you solve the problem?"
 - This is about solving.

 Wait, I need to be more careful. The sentence is "Mainly useful for working with piecewise."

 This looks like it might be from a software documentation context, like "This function is mainly useful for working with piecewise data."

 In that case, "working with" means handling, processing, or manipulating.

 Let me look at sense 16 again: "operate in or through"
 - Work the phones: to operate the phones, to use them.

 Sense 17: "cause to operate or function"
 - Work the controls: to operate the controls.

 But "working with" suggests collaboration or interaction with.

 Actually, looking at sense 1: "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work"
 - This is the intransitive sense of performing labor.

 But "working with" where the object is "piecewise" (piecewise functions) suggests the transitive sense.

 Wait, "working" is marked with <t></t>, and it's "working with", so it's likely intransitive with a prepositional phrase, or transitive with "with" as a complement.

 Let me reconsider all senses looking for "work with":

 Sense 1: intransitive - "I will work hard"
 Sense 2: intransitive - "Is your husband working"
 Sense 3: intransitive - "The voting process doesn't work"
 Sense 4: intransitive - "The washing machine won't go"
 Sense 5: transitive - "work stone into tools"
 Sense 6: transitive - "work one's muscles"
 Sense 7: transitive/intransitive - "work one's way through"
 Sense 8: transitive - "She works the night clubs"
 Sense 9: transitive - "work your way through every problem"
 Sense 10: intransitive - "His fingers worked"
 Sense 11: transitive - "work a miracle"
 Sense 12: transitive - "working his servants"
 Sense 13: transitive - "Work the soil"
 Sense 14: intransitive - "This dough does not work easily"
 Sense 15: transitive - "The artist's work influenced" - wait, this is "work" as a noun? No, "have and exert influence or effect" - "The artist's work influenced the young painter" - here "work" is a noun. But the sense says "have and exert influence or effect" which suggests it's about the verb "work" meaning to influence. Example: "The medicine works" or "The medicine works on the patient".

 Actually, looking at sense 15: "have and exert influence or effect"
 - This could be "The medicine works on the infection"

 Sense 16: transitive - "Work the phones" - to use, to operate
 Sense 17: transitive - "works the controls" - to operate
 Sense 18: transitive - "worked the crowd" - to excite
 Sense 19: transitive - "worked the crowds" - to charm
 Sense 20: transitive - "worked the metal" - to shape, make
 Sense 21: transitive - "work the raisins into the dough"
 Sense 22: transitive - "work the dough" - to knead
 Sense 23: transitive - "work the system" - to use or manipulate
 Sense 24: transitive - "work the problem" - to solve
 Sense 25: transitive - "work the grapes" - to ferment
 Sense 26: intransitive - "The wine has worked" - to ferment
 Sense 27: intransitive - "The stitches worked loose" - to move gradually

 Now, "working with piecewise" - the preposition "with" is important.

 In many of these senses, "work" takes a direct object. But here we have "working with [something]".

 This could be sense 1 (intransitive) + prepositional phrase: "I am working with piecewise functions" meaning I am doing work involving them.

 Or it could be sense 16 or 23 where "work with" means to handle or manipulate.

 But looking at the specific wording: "Mainly useful for working with piecewise."

 This is likely describing a software feature or tool. For example, "This software is mainly useful for working with piecewise functions."

 In computer science and mathematics, "work with" means to handle, process, manipulate, or operate on.

 Looking at the senses, sense 1 "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work" seems too general.

 Sense 16: "operate in or through" - "Work the phones" - this is about using a medium.
 Sense 23: "use or manipulate to one's advantage" - this is close but has a connotation of exploitation.

 Actually, looking at sense 24: "find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of"
 - The example is "did you solve the problem?"
 - This sense is about solving or figuring out.

 But "working with piecewise" doesn't necessarily mean solving. It means handling or manipulating piecewise functions.

 Let me look at sense 5: "shape, form, or improve a material"
 - "work stone into tools"
 - This is about crafting.

 Sense 21: "move into or onto"
 - "work the raisins into the dough"
 - This is about incorporating.

 Hmm.

 Let me search my knowledge of WordNet senses for "work". The sentence "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" appears to be from a specific dataset, possibly the SemEval or similar WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation) dataset.

 In WSD tasks, "work with" often maps to sense 1 (the general sense of working) or sense related to handling.

 But let me think about the word "piecewise". Piecewise is an adverb or adjective describing something composed of pieces. In mathematics, a piecewise function is defined by different expressions over different intervals.

 "Working with piecewise" likely means performing operations on piecewise functions, manipulating them, or handling them.

 In WordNet, sense 1 is: "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity"
 - This is the most common sense.

 But is there a sense that means "to handle" or "to operate on"?

 Sense 16: "operate in or through"
 - Example: "Work the phones"
 - Definition: to operate using something

 Sense 17: "cause to operate or function"
 - Example: "This pilot works the controls"

 Sense 23: "use or manipulate to one's advantage"
 - Example: "He works the system" (assuming the example has a typo with "exploit")

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 23: "He exploit the new taxation system" - this is clearly a typo and should be "He works the new taxation system" or similar.

 But "working with piecewise" - the preposition "with" makes it different from "work the phones" or "work the system".

 "Work with" can mean:
 1. Collaborate with (a person)
 2. Use or handle (a tool, material, or concept)

 For handling materials or tools, in WordNet, this might fall under sense 1 (the general activity of working).

 But let me look at sense 14: "behave in a certain way when handled"
 - Example: "This dough does not work easily"
 - This is intransitive with an implied object (when handled).

 Sense 27: "arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion"
 - Example: "The stitches of the hem worked loose"

 Let me reconsider sense 1. The definition is "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity".

 "Working with piecewise functions" would be doing mental work involving piecewise functions. This fits sense 1.

 But is there a better fit?

 Sense 24 is about solving: "find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of"
 - "work the problem" - this is a usage in American English, meaning to solve the problem.

 "Working with piecewise" could mean solving problems involving piecewise functions.

 But the phrase "useful for working with" suggests general handling, not specifically solving.

 Let me look at sense 5: "shape, form, or improve a material"
 - This is transitive: work stone, work metal, work the dough.

 Sense 22: "make uniform" - knead.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 23 again: "He exploit the new taxation system" - this is definitely a typo for "He works the new taxation system" meaning he uses it or manipulates it.

 But "working with" is different from "working" (transitive).

 "Work with" is often classified as sense 1 in WSD datasets when it means to labor in the context of.

 However, I recall that in some WSD datasets, "work with" in the sense of "handle" or "process" is mapped to sense 1.

 But let me think about whether any other sense fits better.

 Sense 16: "operate in or through"
 - "Work the phones" means to use the telephone system to make calls.

 If "piecewise" refers to piecewise functions, and the tool is for operating in the domain of piecewise functions, then sense 16 could fit: "operate in or through".

 But the preposition "with" suggests accompaniment, not "in or through".

 Sense 8: "operate in a certain place, area, or specialty"
 - "She works the night clubs"
 - This is about working in a location or domain.

 "Working with piecewise" could mean operating in the area of piecewise functions. But the preposition is "with", not "in".

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "Mainly useful for <t>working</t> with piecewise."

 The word "piecewise" is being used as a noun here (or short for "piecewise functions" or "piecewise data").

 In programming or mathematical contexts, "work with" is very common.

 Let me check if there's a sense about "functioning" or "operating".

 Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"
 - "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought"

 Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied"
 - "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in"

 These are intransitive.

 Sense 1 is the most general sense of performing work.

 Given the context "Mainly useful for...", this is describing a purpose. The tool is useful for the activity of working with piecewise functions.

 I think the answer is sense 1.

 But wait, let me look at sense 24 again. "find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of"
 - examples: "did you solve the problem?"
 - This is sense 24.

 In some contexts, "work" means to solve or figure out. "Let me work this problem."

 "Working with piecewise" could mean solving problems involving piecewise functions.

 But "work with" is a specific collocation.

 Let me search my internal database for similar WSD examples.

 Actually, looking at the senses provided, this looks like the WordNet 3.0 or 3.1 senses.

 In WordNet, the first sense is usually the most frequent, and "work with" as in handling or dealing with something is often sense 1.

 However, there's a specific sense that might fit: sense 16 or sense 23.

 Sense 16: operate in or through
 - "Work the phones"

 Sense 23: use or manipulate to one's advantage
 - "He works the system"

 But "working with" is not the same as "working" (transitive).

 "Work with" when followed by a person means to collaborate.
 "Work with" when followed by a material or tool means to use it or handle it.

 For handling materials, WordNet sense 1 covers it as "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work".

 But there's also sense 5: "shape, form, or improve a material" - but this requires the material as direct object, not with a preposition.

 Actually, looking at sense 21: "move into or onto"
 - "work the raisins into the dough"
 This has "work [object] into", not "work with".

 Let me reconsider sense 1. The definition says "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity".

 The example is: "I will work hard to improve my grades".

 This is about the activity of working.

 "Mainly useful for working with piecewise" - the phrase "useful for working with" suggests that the purpose is to enable the activity of working with piecewise functions.

 This is almost certainly sense 1.

 But I want to check if sense 24 could be it. Sense 24: "find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of".
 Example: "did you solve the problem?"

 The verb "work" can mean "solve" in American English, especially in the South. "Work the problem" means solve it.

 "Working with piecewise" would then mean solving problems involving piecewise functions.

 But the preposition "with" makes it less likely to be sense 24. Usually, we say "work the problem" (direct object), not "work with the problem".

 "Work with" suggests a broader interaction, not just solving.

 I think sense 1 is the most appropriate.

 However, I should consider sense 16: "operate in or through".
 Example: "Work the phones".
 This means to use the phones.

 "Work with piecewise" could mean to operate using piecewise functions or methods.

 But "with" suggests the piecewise is the object of the work, not the medium.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "Mainly useful for <t>working</t> with piecewise."

 This could be from a mathematical software documentation. For example, "This command is mainly useful for working with piecewise functions."

 In this context, "working with" means handling, processing, or manipulating.

 In WordNet, the sense "use or manipulate to one's advantage" (sense 23) is close, but has a negative connotation.

 The sense "operate in or through" (sense 16) is about using a medium.

 The sense "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work" (sense 1) is the general sense.

 I found a similar example in my training data. In many WSD datasets, "work with" in the context of data or materials is annotated as sense 1.

 For example, "This software works with Windows" - this would be sense 4 (function) or sense 1.

 "Works with" meaning compatibility is sense 4: "perform as expected when applied".

 But here it's "useful for working with", which is different.

 "Useful for working with" means useful for the activity of handling/manipulating.

 I believe the answer is 1.

 But let me double-check sense 24. Is "work with" ever used to mean solving?
 "I'm working with this equation" - could mean trying to solve it.
 But the definition of sense 24 is specifically "find the solution to", which is more specific than just working with.

 Let me look at sense 9: "proceed towards a goal or along a path or through an activity"
 - "work your way through every problem or task"
 This is about progressing through.

 "Working with piecewise" doesn't suggest progression through.

 Let me look at sense 7: "proceed along a path"
 - "work one's way through the crowd"

 No.

 I think sense 1 is correct.

 Wait, I want to look at sense 23 one more time: "use or manipulate to one's advantage"
 The example has a typo: "He exploit the new taxation system" should be "He works the new taxation system".

 "Work the system" means to manipulate it for personal gain.

 "Work with the system" means to use it or operate within it.

 "Work with" is different from "work" (transitive).

 In fact, "work with" is often intransitive + preposition.

 Sense 1 is intransitive: "I will work hard".

 So "working with piecewise" would be sense 1 (intransitive) + complement.

 Yes, that makes sense.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

 But I want to be absolutely sure. Let me see if there's any other sense that involves "with".

 Sense 21 involves "into": "work the raisins into the dough".

 Sense 5: "work stone into tools".

 Sense 27: "work loose" - particles.

 Actually, looking at sense 14: "behave in a certain way when handled"
 - "This dough does not work easily"
 This is intransitive.

 The key is that "working with X" means performing work involving X.

 This is sense 1.

 I'll go with 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Now</t> you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?

Senses:
1. definition=in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events | examples=President Kennedy now calls in the National Guard
2. definition=in these times; - Nancy Mitford | examples=it is solely by their language that the upper classes nowadays are distinguished
3. definition=used to preface a command or reproof or request | examples=now hear this!
4. definition=at the present moment | examples=goods now on sale
5. definition=without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening | examples=he answered immediately
6. definition=(prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity | examples=Now the next problem is...
7. definition=in the immediate past | examples=told me just now

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

Sentence: "Now you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?"

Let me look at the senses:

1. in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events
   - This is for storytelling about past events using present tense. The example is "President Kennedy now calls in the National Guard" - this sounds like a historical narrative.
   - The given sentence doesn't seem to be narrating past events historically.

2. in these times; - Nancy Mitford
   - This refers to "nowadays" - the current era.
   - Example: "it is solely by their language that the upper classes nowadays are distinguished"
   - The given sentence isn't talking about the current era or times.

3. used to preface a command or reproof or request
   - Example: "now hear this!"
   - The given sentence "Now you could ask me..." isn't really a command, reproof, or request. It's introducing a hypothetical question.

4. at the present moment
   - Example: "goods now on sale"
   - This is the most common temporal meaning - referring to the current time.
   - But the sentence "Now you could ask me..." seems to be using "now" in a discourse marker sense, not strictly temporal.

5. without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening
   - Example: "he answered immediately"
   - This is about immediacy. The sentence doesn't suggest immediate action.

6. (prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity
   - Example: "Now the next problem is..."
   - This seems to fit! The sentence "Now you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?" appears to be introducing a new point or transitioning to a potential question the listener might have. It's prefatory/transitional.

7. in the immediate past
   - Example: "told me just now"
   - This means "a moment ago." The sentence isn't referring to the immediate past.

Looking at sense 6: "(prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity" with example "Now the next problem is..."

The sentence "Now you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?" is using "now" to introduce a new point or transition to a hypothetical question. It's a discourse marker indicating a shift in the discussion - moving to address a potential question from the user.

Actually, let me reconsider. Is it sense 4 (at the present moment) or sense 6 (transitional)?

The phrase "Now you could ask me" suggests that at this point in the conversation/discussion, the listener might ask something. But it's also functioning as a transitional marker - introducing a new topic or addressing a potential objection/question.

However, looking at the example for sense 6: "Now the next problem is..." - this is clearly transitional.

The sentence "Now you could ask me..." is similar - it's transitioning to a hypothetical question.

But wait, is it sense 4? "At the present moment you could ask me..." - this doesn't quite fit because "could" makes it hypothetical, not actual.

Actually, looking more carefully: "Now you could ask me" - this is introducing a rhetorical question or a potential question at this point in the discourse. This is clearly a transitional/prefatory use.

Sense 6 is defined as "(prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity"

The example "Now the next problem is..." shows it used to move to the next point.

In "Now you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?", the speaker is introducing a potential question that the listener might have at this point. This is transitional - moving from whatever was said before to address this potential question.

Therefore, the answer should be 6.

Let me double-check the other senses to make sure:

Sense 1: Historical present - no, this isn't a narrative of past events.
Sense 2: Nowadays - no, not referring to current times/era.
Sense 3: Command/reproof/request - "you could ask me" isn't a command.
Sense 4: At the present moment - while there's a temporal element, the primary function here is discourse-organizing (transitional), not simply temporal reference.
Sense 5: Without delay - no.
Sense 6: Prefatory or transitional - yes, this fits best.
Sense 7: Immediate past - no.

The answer is 6.

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

Sentence: Now you could <t>ask</t> me, why should the user mind about MathML?

Senses:
1. definition=inquire about | examples=I asked about their special today
2. definition=make a request or demand for something to somebody | examples=She asked him for a loan
3. definition=direct or put; seek an answer to | examples=ask a question
4. definition=consider obligatory; request and expect | examples=We require our secretary to be on time
5. definition=address a question to and expect an answer from | examples=Ask your teacher about trigonometry
6. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
7. definition=require or ask for as a price or condition | examples=He is asking $200 for the table

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

 Sentence: "Now you could <t>ask</t> me, why should the user mind about MathML?"

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "Now you could ask me..."
 - This is followed by a question: "why should the user mind about MathML?"
 - The structure is: ask [someone] [a question]

 Let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=inquire about | examples=I asked about their special today
    - This seems like inquiring, but the example "asked about" doesn't quite match "ask me, why..."

 2. definition=make a request or demand for something to somebody | examples=She asked him for a loan
    - This is asking for something tangible or a favor, not asking a question.

 3. definition=direct or put; seek an answer to | examples=ask a question
    - This is close. "ask a question" fits.

 4. definition=consider obligatory; request and expect | examples=We require our secretary to be on time
    - This is more like "require" or "expect", not fitting here.

 5. definition=address a question to and expect an answer from | examples=Ask your teacher about trigonometry
    - This fits well: "address a question to and expect an answer from" - in the sentence, you are addressing a question ("why should the user mind about MathML?") to "me".

 6. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
    - This seems like a different usage (like "it asks for" or requires), not fitting.

 7. definition=require or ask for as a price or condition | examples=He is asking $200 for the table
    - This is about pricing, not relevant.

 Now comparing 3 and 5:

 Sense 3: "direct or put; seek an answer to" with example "ask a question"
 Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from" with example "Ask your teacher about trigonometry"

 The sentence structure is: "ask me, why should..."
 This is addressing a question to someone (me).

 Actually, looking carefully:
 - "ask me" - addressing to me
 - "why should the user mind about MathML?" - the question being asked

 This matches sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from"

 Sense 3 is more general "seek an answer to" but doesn't capture the "addressing to someone" aspect as clearly as sense 5.

 Also, looking at the example for 5: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" - this is similar to "ask me [about] why..."

 Wait, the sentence is: "Now you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?"

 This could be interpreted as:
 - You could ask me the question: "Why should the user mind about MathML?"
 Or:
 - You could inquire of me: Why should...

 Let me check sense 1 again: "inquire about" - example "I asked about their special today"
 If it were "ask me about MathML", that might be sense 1.

 But the structure here is "ask me, [question]" or "ask me [indirect question]".

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 5 seems to be the definition of asking a person a question.
 - The example "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" matches the pattern where you ask a person (teacher/me) about something.

 But wait, in the sentence "ask me, why should...", the "why" clause is the content of the question.

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexicons (since this looks like a WordNet style question):

 WordNet senses for "ask":
 1. inquire about
 2. make a request or demand for something to somebody
 3. direct or put; seek an answer to
 4. consider obligatory; request and expect
 5. address a question to and expect an answer from
 6. require as useful, just, or proper
 7. require or ask for as a price or condition

 The sentence "Now you could ask me, why should the user mind about MathML?" involves posing a question to someone (me).

 Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from"
 This fits because:
 - "address a question to" = ask me
 - The question is implied in the "why" clause

 Sense 3 "direct or put; seek an answer to" with example "ask a question" is also close, but that sense is more about the act of asking the question itself, whereas sense 5 emphasizes addressing it to someone.

 Given the presence of the indirect object "me" (the person being asked), sense 5 is most appropriate.

 Let me verify with the example for sense 5: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry"
 Pattern: Ask [person] [about something/question]
 Our sentence: ask [me] [, why question...]

 This matches.

 Sense 1 example: "I asked about their special today" - no person mentioned as indirect object.
 Sense 2: "asked him for a loan" - asking for something, not asking a question.
 Sense 3: "ask a question" - general, no specific person.
 Sense 5: specifically about addressing to a person.

 Therefore, the answer is 5.

 Sentence: "Now you could ask me, why should the <t>user</t> mind about MathML?"

 Senses:
 1. definition=a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something
 2. definition=a person who uses something or someone selfishly or unethically
 3. definition=a person who takes drugs

 Analysis:
 - The sentence is talking about MathML, which is a markup language for mathematical notation (Mathematical Markup Language).
 - The context suggests someone who uses software, technology, or a system (in this case, likely a web user or someone using a system that employs MathML).
 - Sense 1 fits: "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something" - this would be someone who uses software/technology that implements MathML.
 - Sense 2 implies a negative connotation (selfish or unethical use), which doesn't fit the technical context of asking about MathML.
 - Sense 3 refers specifically to drug use, which is clearly not relevant to a discussion about MathML.

 Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

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

The sentence is: "That s <t>easy</t>. With this, we can operate with functions like cos(), sin(), any other trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()."

The context suggests that using "this" (presumably some tool, method, or code library) makes it possible to work with various mathematical functions without difficulty. The speaker is saying that something is simple or not difficult to do.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. posing no difficulty; requiring little effort - This seems to fit best. The sentence suggests that operating with those functions is not difficult or requires little effort when using "this" (whatever tool/method is being referred to).

2. not hurried or forced - This doesn't fit. "That s easy" in the context of operating with functions doesn't relate to speed or being unhurried.

3. free from worry or anxiety - This is about mental state, not about task difficulty.

4. affording pleasure - While the task might be pleasant, the primary meaning here seems to be about difficulty level.

5. having little impact - This refers to physical force, not relevant here.

6. readily exploited or tricked - This refers to people being gullible, not relevant.

7. in fortunate circumstances financially - Not relevant.

8. marked by moderate steepness - Physical terrain, not relevant.

9. affording comfort - Could be related, but less specific than sense 1.

10. casual and unrestrained in sexual behavior - Not relevant.

11. less in demand and therefore readily obtainable - About market availability, not relevant.

12. obtained with little effort or sacrifice, often obtained illegally - About obtaining things, not about doing tasks.

The context clearly indicates that using the functions (cos, sin, etc.) is not difficult when using the referenced tool/method. Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

The sentence structure "That s easy" followed by an explanation of what can be done with it supports the interpretation that it means "not difficult" or "requiring little effort."

So the answer is 1.

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

"That s easy. With this, we can operate with <t>functions</t> like cos(), sin(), any other trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()."

The sentence mentions "cos()", "sin()", "trigonometric functions", "sum()", "product()". These are clearly mathematical functions or programming functions.

Looking at the senses:
1. (mathematics) a mathematical relation such that each element of a given set (the domain of the function) is associated with an element of another set (the range of the function) - This is about mathematical functions like sin, cos, etc.
2. what something is used for - This is about purpose or utility.
3. the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group - This is about roles/jobs.
4. a relation such that one thing is dependent on another - This is about dependency relationships.
5. a formal or official social gathering or ceremony - This is about events/parties.
6. a vaguely specified social event - This is also about social events.
7. a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program - This is about programming functions/subroutines.

The sentence mentions "cos()", "sin()" which are trigonometric functions. These are mathematical functions. However, the context "operate with functions like cos(), sin()" and the notation with parentheses suggests this could be either:
- Sense 1: Mathematical functions
- Sense 7: Computer program functions

But looking carefully at the examples given: "cos(), sin(), any other trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()"

Wait, the sentence uses "cos()" and "sin()" with parentheses, and mentions "sum()" and "product()". This looks like it could be programming context where functions are being called. However, trigonometric functions like cos and sin are fundamentally mathematical concepts.

Let me look at sense 1 again: "(mathematics) a mathematical relation such that each element of a given set (the domain of the function) is associated with an element of another set (the range of the function)"

And sense 7: "a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program"

The mention of "cos()", "sin()" strongly points to mathematical functions. Even though they are written with parentheses which is common in programming syntax, they are fundamentally mathematical functions. The examples "sum()" and "product()" could be either mathematical or programming.

But looking at the context: "operate with functions like..." - this sounds like it could be describing mathematical operations or programming operations.

However, sense 1 specifically mentions "mathematics" and defines mathematical functions. Cosine and sine are classic examples of mathematical functions.

Sense 7 is specifically about computer programs. While cos() and sin() can be functions in a computer program, they are primarily mathematical functions.

The key is that "cos" and "sin" are explicitly trigonometric functions (mentioned in the text: "any other trigonometric functions"). Trigonometric functions are mathematical functions.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence says "operate with functions like cos(), sin()..." The word "operate" and the syntax with empty parentheses () might suggest a programming context. But trigonometric functions are mathematical.

Actually, looking at sense 7: "a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program" - this would be like a subroutine or method.

But cos() and sin() are built-in mathematical functions. In programming languages, these are often called "functions" and they implement mathematical functions.

However, the definition in sense 1 is the standard mathematical definition of a function, which is exactly what cosine and sine are.

Let me check if there's any clue that this is specifically about computer programming. The sentence mentions "With this, we can operate with functions..." - "this" might refer to some software or tool. But without more context, the safest answer is sense 1 because cos, sin, trigonometric functions are quintessentially mathematical functions.

Actually, looking at the examples in sense 1: it doesn't give examples, but the definition is clearly about mathematical relations.

Sense 7 is specifically about computer programs.

Given that the sentence explicitly mentions "trigonometric functions", this is definitely sense 1. Trigonometric functions are a subset of mathematical functions.

Even if this is in a programming context, the word "function" here refers to mathematical functions (sin, cos) that are being implemented or used.

But wait, the phrase "sum () or product ()" with spaces before the parentheses might suggest programming syntax. In mathematics, we usually write sin(x), not sin(). But the empty parentheses could just be indicating the function names without arguments.

However, the critical point is that "cos", "sin", "trigonometric" are mathematical terms. Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

Let me double-check sense 4: "a relation such that one thing is dependent on another". While mathematical functions are relations where y depends on x, sense 4 seems more general and the examples given ("height is a function of age") suggests a different usage - more like "function of" meaning "dependent on" or "determined by".

Sense 1 is specifically the technical mathematical definition.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

 Sentence: "That s easy. With this, we can operate with functions like <t>cos()</t>, sin(), any other trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()."

 The word "cos" is marked with <t></t> tags.

 Looking at the context:
 - It mentions "functions like cos(), sin()"
 - It mentions "any other trigonometric functions"
 - cos() and sin() are standard mathematical functions (cosine and sine)

 Now let's look at the senses:
 1. definition=ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle - This is the cosine function in trigonometry.
 2. definition=lettuce with long dark-green leaves in a loosely packed elongated head - This is "cos" as in "cos lettuce" (also known as romaine).
 3. definition=an odorless very poisonous gas that is a product of incomplete combustion of carbon - This is CO (carbon monoxide), not "cos".
 4. definition=a hard ferromagnetic silver-white bivalent or trivalent metallic element; a trace element in plant and animal nutrition - This is cobalt (Co).
 5. definition=one who refuses to serve in the armed forces on grounds of conscience - This is "conscientious objector" (CO).
 6. definition=a state in west central United States in the Rocky Mountains - This is Colorado (CO).

 The context clearly indicates trigonometric functions. "cos()" is the cosine function, which is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

 Wait, let me double-check:
 - Sense 1 mentions "ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse" which is indeed the definition of cosine (cos).
 - The sentence mentions "cos()" as a function, which refers to the cosine function.

 So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "That s easy. With this, we can operate with functions like cos(), <t>sin()</t>, any other trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()."

The word "sin" appears inside parentheses with empty parentheses: sin(). The context mentions "cos()" and "any other trigonometric functions".

Let me look at the senses:
1. definition=estrangement from god - This is the religious concept of sin as separation from God.
2. definition=an act that is regarded by theologians as a transgression of God's will - This is the moral/religious definition of sin as an act.
3. definition=ratio of the length of the side opposite the given angle to the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle - This is the mathematical definition of sine (sin).
4. definition=(Akkadian) god of the Moon; counterpart of Sumerian Nanna - This is a proper noun, a deity.
5. definition=the 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet - This is a letter.
6. definition=violent and excited activity | examples=they began to fight like sin - This is an idiom.

In the sentence, "sin()" is mentioned alongside "cos()" and described as a "trigonometric function". This clearly refers to the mathematical sine function.

Sense 3 describes the trigonometric ratio: "ratio of the length of the side opposite the given angle to the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle". This is the definition of the sine function.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

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

Sentence: "That s easy. With this, we can operate with functions like cos(), sin(), any <t>other</t> trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()."

The word "other" here is used in the phrase "any other trigonometric functions". This means trigonometric functions that are not the same ones already mentioned (cos, sin).

Looking at the senses:
1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day
2. definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied". The sentence mentions cos() and sin(), and then refers to "any other trigonometric functions" meaning ones besides those already mentioned.

Sense 2 is about time (recently past), which doesn't fit.
Sense 3 is about distant past, which doesn't fit.
Sense 4 is about unusual/different quality, which doesn't fit.

So the answer is 1.

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

 Sentence: "That s easy. With this, we can operate with functions like cos(), sin(), any other trigonometric functions, <t>sum</t> () or product ()."

 The context here is clearly mathematical/computational. The sentence mentions functions like cos(), sin(), trigonometric functions, and then "sum () or product ()".

 Looking at the senses:
 1. definition=a quantity of money - This is about money, not relevant here.
 2. definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers - This is the mathematical operation of addition/summation.
 3. definition=the final aggregate - This is more abstract, like "sum total" of troubles.
 4. definition=the choicest or most essential part - This is "gist" or "essence".
 5. definition=the whole amount - Similar to aggregate.
 6. definition=a set containing all and only the members of two or more given sets - This is the mathematical definition of "union" of sets.

 Wait, sense 6 mentions "union of sets" but labels it as "sum"? Actually, looking carefully: "a set containing all and only the members of two or more given sets | examples=let C be the union of the sets A and B". This is describing the union operation, but is it called "sum" in set theory? Usually, union is denoted by ∪, while sum might refer to disjoint union or something else, but the example explicitly mentions "union".

 However, in the context of the sentence: "operate with functions like cos(), sin(), any other trigonometric functions, sum () or product ()".

 Here "sum" is being used as a function/operation alongside "product". In mathematics, "sum" refers to addition (sense 2), while "product" refers to multiplication.

 Sense 2: "a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers" - this fits the context of a mathematical function that performs addition.

 Sense 6 is about sets and union, which doesn't fit the context of being listed alongside trigonometric functions like cos() and sin() in what appears to be a programming or mathematical context where sum() is a function that adds numbers.

 Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

 Let me double-check:
 - The sentence mentions "operate with functions"
 - It lists cos(), sin(), trigonometric functions
 - Then sum() or product()
 - In programming/mathematics, sum() is a function that calculates the sum (addition) of elements
 - Product() would be the multiplication equivalent

 So yes, sense 2 is the correct answer.

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

 Sentence: "That s easy. With this, we can operate with functions like cos(), sin(), any other trigonometric functions, sum () or <t>product</t> ()."

 The context is clearly mathematical - talking about functions like cos(), sin(), sum(), and product().

 Looking at the senses:
 1. commodities offered for sale - This is commercial/retail meaning. Not relevant here.
 2. an artifact that has been created - This is a general manufactured item. Not relevant.
 3. a quantity obtained by multiplication - This is the mathematical definition. The examples mention "the product of 2 and 3 is 6". In the sentence, "product()" appears to be a mathematical function/operation, similar to sum().
 4. a chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction - Chemistry context. Not relevant.
 5. a consequence of someone's efforts - Abstract result. Not relevant.
 6. the set of elements common to two or more sets - This is actually the definition of "intersection" (set theory), not product. Wait, let me check... actually, in set theory, "product" usually refers to Cartesian product, not intersection. But sense 6 says "the set of elements common to two or more sets" which is definitely intersection, not product. But regardless, the context in the sentence is about mathematical operations/functions.

 The sentence mentions "sum () or product ()" - these are clearly mathematical operations. In mathematics, "product" refers to the result of multiplication, and "product()" would be a function that calculates the product of elements.

 Therefore, sense 3 is the correct answer: "a quantity obtained by multiplication".

 Wait, let me double-check sense 6. It says "the set of elements common to two or more sets" - that's definitely intersection. But sometimes "product" in set theory means Cartesian product. However, the definition given in sense 6 is definitely intersection, not product. But regardless, the context in the sentence is clearly about arithmetic/mathematical operations (cos, sin, sum, product).

 So the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: We can <t>use</t> plus(), times() and everything which has its operator.

Senses:
1. definition=put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose | examples=use your head!

6. definition=habitually do something (use only in the past tense) | examples=She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally

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

 Sentence: "We can <t>use</t> plus(), times() and everything which has its operator."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - The context appears to be programming or mathematics, where "plus()" and "times()" are likely functions or operators.
 - The meaning is about employing or utilizing these functions/operators for a particular purpose.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" | examples="use your head!"
    - This fits well. The sentence is talking about employing or utilizing functions (plus(), times()) for some purpose.

 2. "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" | examples="She uses drugs rarely"
    - This is about consumption, typically of substances. Doesn't fit.

 3. "use up, consume fully" | examples="The legislature expended its time on school questions"
    - This means to exhaust or deplete. Doesn't fit.

 4. "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" | examples="She uses her influential friends to get jobs"
    - This implies exploiting or taking advantage of something/someone for personal gain. The example sentence doesn't suggest taking advantage; it's just about employing functions.

 5. "avail oneself to" | examples="apply a principle"
    - This is similar to "make use of" or "apply". This could potentially fit, but let's look closer.
    - Actually, looking at the definition "avail oneself to", this might mean to make use of something available to oneself.

 6. "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" | examples="She used to call her mother every week..."
    - This is specifically for "used to" construction. The sentence uses "can use", so this doesn't fit.

 Between sense 1 and sense 5:
 - Sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose"
 - Sense 5: "avail oneself to"

 The example for sense 5 is "apply a principle". The sentence is about using functions/operators in programming or math.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions (like WordNet which these seem to be based on):
 - Sense 1 is the general "utilize, employ" meaning.
 - Sense 5 "avail oneself to" might be more about "use" as in "use the opportunity" or similar.

 But in the context of programming/functions: "We can use plus(), times()..." - this is clearly about employing or utilizing these functions for a purpose. This is the core meaning of "use" as in sense 1.

 Sense 1 examples include "use your head!" which is about employing a faculty.
 The sentence is about employing functions.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 5. "avail oneself to" - this is a bit unusual phrasing. Usually it's "avail oneself of". But looking at WordNet synsets:
 - Sense 1: use, utilize, utilise, apply, employ
 - Sense 5: use - "avail oneself to" - this might correspond to WordNet sense 5 which is "use, habituate" (but that's not right...)

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet 3.0 senses for "use" as a verb:
 1. use, utilize, utilise, apply, employ - put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose
 2. use, habituate - take or consume (regularly or habitually)
 3. use, expend - use up, consume fully
 4. use - seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage
 5. practice, apply, use - avail oneself to
 6. use - habitually do something (use only in the past tense)

 Sense 5 "practice, apply, use" with definition "avail oneself to" and example "apply a principle" - this seems to be about applying or putting into practice.

 But in the programming context: "We can use plus(), times()..." - this is employing these functions. This is sense 1.

 The key distinction:
 - Sense 1 is the general "employ/utilize" meaning.
 - Sense 5 is more specific to "apply" in the sense of "practice" or "put to use" in a habitual or specific way, often with abstract things like principles.

 But "use plus() and times()" is clearly employing these functions for computation. That's sense 1.

 Also, the example "use your head!" in sense 1 is very similar - employing a cognitive faculty.
 Similarly, employing mathematical functions.

 So the answer is 1.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "plus" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "We can use <t>plus()</t>, times() and everything which has its operator."

 Looking at the context:
 - The sentence mentions "plus()", "times()" and refers to them as having "its operator"
 - This appears to be a programming or mathematical context where "plus" refers to the addition operation
 - The notation "plus()" suggests a function or operator for addition

 Now examining the senses:
 1. "a useful or valuable quality" - This would be the noun sense meaning something positive or advantageous (e.g., "The plus of this job is the flexible hours")
 2. "the arithmetic operation of summing; calculating the sum of two or more numbers" - This is the mathematical/operational sense

 Given the context mentions "operator" and pairs "plus" with "times" (multiplication), this is clearly referring to the arithmetic operation of addition.

 Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

The word "times" here is marked with <t></t> tags. Looking at the context:
- "plus()" refers to the addition operator/function
- "times()" refers to the multiplication operator/function
- "everything which has its operator" suggests we're talking about mathematical or programming operators

Looking at the senses:
1. definition=a more or less definite period of time now or previously present - This is about time as a period, not relevant here.
2. definition=an arithmetic operation that is the inverse of division; the product of two numbers is computed - This matches multiplication.
3. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event - This is about occasions, not relevant.
4. definition=a period of time considered as a resource - Not relevant.
5. definition=an indefinite period - Not relevant.
6. definition=a suitable moment - Not relevant.
7. definition=the continuum of experience - Not relevant.
8. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion - Not relevant.
9. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock - Not relevant.
10. definition=the fourth coordinate - Not relevant.
11. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration - This is musical time, not relevant.
12. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned - Not relevant.

The context clearly indicates a mathematical or programming context where "times" refers to multiplication. Sense 2 explicitly mentions "an arithmetic operation" and "the product of two numbers" which is multiplication.

Therefore, the answer is 2.
