Target surface form: governors
Target lemma: governor

Candidate senses:
1. governor%1:18:00:: - the head of a state government (a political leader)
2. governor%1:06:00:: - a control that maintains a steady speed in a machine (regulator)

Context analysis:
The passage talks about "political leaders" and "the recent governors' conference on education." It mentions "Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas" - Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. It also makes a pun: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need" - clearly referring to political leaders (people) over 30 years old.

The context is clearly about state government leaders attending a conference on education, not machine parts. Bill Clinton was a governor (head of state government), and the passage discusses political leaders.

Therefore, the correct sense is sense 1: the head of a state government.

The user asks for output in JSON format exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. Since sense 1 is the best choice, I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

We need choose among senses for target word education in context. Need produce JSON {"sense_index": ?}. Let's analyze.

The sentence: "Thus at the recent governors' conference on <t>education</t>, Gov. Bill Clinton..." The governor's conference on education likely a conference about the topic of education, i.e., activities of educating/instructing, the field/system. Candidate sense 1: education as activities of educating or instructing. Candidate sense 4: the profession of teaching. Candidate sense 2: knowledge acquired. Candidate 3: gradual process of acquiring knowledge. Candidate 5: result of upbringing. Candidate 6: a department.

"governors' conference on education" is a conference concerning the subject/field of education (teaching/learning). Most likely sense 1: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill." Could also be sense 3 (process of acquiring knowledge), but a conference on education is about educational activities/policy, not the gradual process in an abstract statement. Compare "governors' conference on education" with "a conference on education." In WordNet examples, sense 1: formal education, educational activity. Sense 6 is Department of Education (capitalized). Here lower case and not referring to the federal department. Sense 4 profession of teaching, but a conference on teaching specifically maybe. However governors' conference likely broader educational policy. WordNet sense 1 most common broad definition.

Need not answer with sense key but with index. The candidate list enumerates 1 to 6. Need map to sense_index. The question says choose single best indexed sense. JSON {"sense_index": 1}.

We should provide exactly JSON. Ensure final only JSON object.

We need answer JSON only. Need choose sense for "needs" in sentence: "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five." Target lemma need, surface needs. Candidate senses:
1 need%2:42:00:: definition require as useful, just, or proper; synonyms necessitate, ask, postulate, require, take, involve. This is like "it takes nerve", "success requires hard work" - subj inanimate country? "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" means the country requires such a policy (as useful/necessary). Sense 1 is "require as useful, just, or proper". Sense 2 "have need of" synonyms want, require; examples "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner". That is about needing something, like "I need a drink". Sense 3 "have or feel a need for" examples "always needing friends and money" - more internal state.
We need decide between 1 and 2. WordNet verb senses for need: There are three senses. Typically:
- need.v.01: require as useful, just, or proper; "It takes nerve to do what she did"; "success usually requires hard work"; "This job asks a lot of patience and skill"; "This position demands a lot of personal sacrifice"; "This dinner calls for a spectacular dessert"; "This intervention does not postulate a patient's consent"
- need.v.02: have need of; "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner"
- need.v.03: have or feel a need for; "always needing friends and money"
The distinction between v01 and v02: v01 is "require" in sense of something necessitates/ calls for; v02 is "want" as in lack and require. In "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy", the country is not a person feeling need; it's an entity that requires a policy. Could be v01. But "have need of" also fits: the country has need of a policy. Which is best? Let's examine examples. v02 synonyms want, require; example "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner." That's an inanimate object needing attention. "This country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" is analogous: country needs/wants a policy. v01 examples: "It takes nerve to do what she did"; "success usually requires hard work"; "This job asks a lot of patience". These are impersonal requirement: something requires a quality/thing. "This country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" could be "requires as useful, just, or proper". The subject is country, object is policy. Both could fit.
Need to use fine-grained WSD. Let's think about WordNet mapping. In SemCor, "need" as "have need of" vs "require". For sentence "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy", likely annotated as need.v.02? Let's search memory. WordNet sense 2: "have need of" synonyms want, require. It often used for subjects that need something concrete. Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper" used for situations/actions requiring attributes. Example "It takes nerve". "This country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" is more like "requires" in sense of necessity, not "wants". But the gloss for sense 2 includes require too. Hmm.
Let's parse definitions carefully:
1. require as useful, just, or proper
2. have need of
3. have or feel a need for
The phrase "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" = the country has a need for a policy. That aligns with sense 2 "have need of". Sense 1 is more about something requiring something as a condition (e.g., job requires skill). A country can require a policy as necessary. But the object is a concrete thing (policy), not an abstract quality. The example for sense 2 "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner" is exactly an inanimate entity needing a service/thing. So sense 2 likely best.
However, the synonym list for sense 2 includes "want, require". The example uses "wants". "needs" here is not "wants" but "requires". But sense 1 synonyms include "require, necessitate, ask, postulate, take, involve". That seems to match "requires" more. But sense 2 also lists require. The difference: sense 1 is "require" as in "call for, demand, necessitate"; sense 2 is "require" as in "need, want". WordNet often distinguishes "need" v1 vs v2 by whether the subject is the entity lacking (v2) vs situation/action requiring (v1). For "this country needs..." country is entity lacking. So v2.
Let's verify with actual WordNet data. need.v.02 definition "have need of" synonyms want, require. It is the sense used in "This piano wants the attention". need.v.01 definition "require as useful, just, or proper" synonyms necessitate, ask, postulate, require, take, involve. It is used in "success usually requires hard work". The subject "success" is an abstract situation. "This country needs a policy" subject is country (entity). So v02.
But there is also "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need." Here need is noun. Not target.
Target is verb "needs". The phrase "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" is a statement of necessity. I think sense 2 is best.

 We need perform WSD. Need choose among 3 senses for "policy" in context: "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five." The context is about education reform, political leaders, government action. A policy = plan of action adopted by individual or social group (sense1). Sense2: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government. That fits? Let's examine. WordNet: policy%1:09:00:: noun.cognition: a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group. policy%1:10:00:: noun.communication: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government. The phrase "comprehensive child-development policy" is clearly a plan of action (government policy), but is it a line of argument rationalizing course of action? Examples: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation" indicates policy as prudent/sagacious course? Actually MW: "policy" can mean a definite course or method of action selected from among alternatives and in light of given conditions to guide and determine present and future decisions; also a high-level overall plan embracing the general goals and acceptable procedures especially of a governmental body. WordNet sense2 definition "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" maybe refers to "policy" as the rationale/argument. The example "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy" is a government plan to act. Children under five. It is not an insurance policy. Between sense1 and sense2. Need use context. The preceding text: "our political leaders were mute... governors' conference on education... this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy". This is a social group/government plan of action. sense1 examples: "it was a policy of retribution; a politician keeps changing his policies" includes politician plans. sense2 implies line of argument rationalizing course of action; could fit because a government policy is exactly line of argument? But WordNet sense2 examples: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation" uses impolicy, meaning wisdom/prudence? Let's inspect WordNet nominalization. policy in noun.communication: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". That seems narrower - e.g., foreign policy is the government's rationale. However child-development policy is social policy; could be either.

Need choose single best indexed sense. Many WSD taggers might map "policy" in this context to sense1 (most common). Let's analyze nuance: Sense1: a plan of action adopted by individual or social group. In context, "comprehensive child-development policy for children under five" = plan of action. The sentence is about what the country needs in terms of programs/rules. Not merely a line of argument rationalizing; it's an actual policy. The phrase "comprehensive child-development policy" is a class of social policies. So sense1 likely best.

Let's verify WordNet mapping: policy%1:09:00:: is under noun.cognition (plans, ideas). "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" includes government. policy%1:10:00:: under noun.communication "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". The criteria "communication" vs "cognition" - in context, the governors conference announces a need for a policy. It is a government course of action; sense2 might be defined exactly as rationalizing government action. But the surface phrase is used substantive: "needs a comprehensive child-development policy". If they said "we need a new policy on education" that is sense1. Example "it was a policy of retribution" matches.

But maybe the task expects sense2 because the context says "political leaders" and "course of action of a government." However the definition "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action" comes from word "policy" in sense of a principle? Hmm.

Let's see if the mention "governors' conference" and "country needs" indicates government. Still "policy" is plan of action. The second sense with example "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation" is about whether the legislation is wise/expedient (policy/impolicy) - that's a different sense: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". Actually "policy or impolicy" in example has "impolicy" being a noun? WordNet? impolicy (noun) means ... Could be less common. But definition includes "line of argument rationalizing..."; not the same as plan.

Let's search mental corpus: "comprehensive development policy" appears in Senseval/SEMSEM? There is a known WSD instance: "policy" in school context maybe annotated. I recall WordNet 1.7 mapping maybe sense 1 (plan of action) because examples include "a politician keeps changing his policies". Also if definition "line of argument" maybe used in: "the policy of containment". But child-development policy not a line of argument; it's a plan.

Therefore choose sense_index: 1.

Need return JSON only exact like {"sense_index": 1}.

We need do WSD for target word "seem" in sentence: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
Candidate senses:
1: give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect; look, appear; examples She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem.
2: seem to be true, probable, or apparent; appear; examples It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad.
3: appear to exist; examples There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now.
4: appear to one's own mind or opinion; examples I seem to be misunderstood by everyone.
The usage: "would seem to be a more pressing need". It means it appears (is likely/apparent) to be a more pressing need. The clause is "there is a more pressing need"? It gives impression/has outward aspect. Sense 1 covers "She seems to be sleeping" copular with adjective phrase. Sense 2 covers impersonal it seems that... Sense 4 covers I seem to be misunderstood (subjective own mind). Our subject is a noun phrase policy, no experiencer. "would seem to be a more pressing need" = it seems likely/makes appearance that it is a more pressing need. Which indexed sense? In WordNet, seem%2:39:00 is "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" with frame: something seems to be ...; seem%2:39:01 is "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" with frame: it seems that...; seem%2:39:02 is "appear to one's own mind or opinion". The context: "A comprehensive development policy ... would seem to be a more pressing need." This matches sense 1? Let's analyze WordNet distinction.
WordNet 3.0 likely:
S: (v) look, appear, seem (give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect) "She seems to be sleeping"; "This appears to be a very difficult problem"; "This project looks fishy"; "they appeared like people who had not eaten or slept for a long time"
S: (v) appear, seem (seem to be true, probable, or apparent) "It seems that he is very gifted"; "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"
S: (v) seem (appear to exist) "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"? Wait candidate label sense 3: appear to exist; examples same "There seems no reason..." Candidate 2 has same example? Listed examples: It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather... Candidate 3: There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now. In WordNet, "There seems no reason" maybe sense "appear to exist". But candidate 2 examples include "It seems that". Might be mis-ordered due data.
Need choose best based on actual glosses despite candidate examples possibly from wordnet. The target is not existential there-seems. It's "would seem to be a more pressing need". It uses linking verb with infinitival complement indicating appearance. This aligns best with sense 1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect". Example "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem" exactly same structure: NP seems to be ADJP/ NP. So sense index 1.

Candidate 1: sense_key more%4:02:00:: definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs; synonyms=to a greater extent; examples=more interesting, more beautiful. This is the adverb modifying adjective/adverb comparative use. Candidate 2: more%4:02:01:: comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent; examples=he works more now; they eat more than they should. This seems as pronoun? But in WordNet sense keys 4:02 are adverbs? Is 'more' as comparative adverb of much (quantifier) like degree extent, functioning as adverb of quantity. The target phrase: "a <t>more</t> pressing need". Here 'more' modifies the adjective 'pressing': more pressing. That is candidate 1 sense. But note in WordNet there is more%5:00:00:more(a):00 maybe adjective? Not in candidates. Since two options given, the clear choice is 1. But we should consider if 'more pressing need' is comparative of 'much pressing'? The word 'more' is used to form the comparative of adjective 'pressing'. That matches candidate 1. Candidate 2 more of much with verb works/eat more. Therefore sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
 Let me analyze the context carefully.

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

The author is being sarcastic. He's saying that after Gov. Clinton said "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five," the author counters that actually, a comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need.

This is using "need" as a noun. There's an implied "there is": "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need [than what Clinton is advocating]."

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. need%1:26:00:: | a condition requiring relief | synonyms=demand | examples=she satisfied his need for affection; God has no need of men to accomplish His work

This sense often combines with "for" or "of" - "need for X", "need of X". It means a condition/situation that calls for relief/satisfaction. Example: "she satisfied his need for affection" - there was a condition requiring relief (lack of affection) and she satisfied it.

2. need%1:17:00:: | anything that is necessary but lacking | synonyms=want | examples=he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs; I tried to supply his wants

This sense refers to a concrete thing that is lacking/necessary. "Meet his simple needs" - the necessities of life, things required.

3. need%1:03:00:: | the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior | synonyms=motivation, motive

This is the psychological/motivational sense.

4. need%1:26:01:: | a state of extreme poverty or destitution | synonyms=indigence, penury

This is the poverty sense.

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

The phrase "pressing need" is a very common collocation. Here, "need" refers to a condition requiring relief/attention. What is needed? A comprehensive development policy for governors. The "need" is the condition/situation that makes such a policy necessary - the lack of adequate development policy for governors.

Is this sense 1 or sense 2?

Sense 1: "a condition requiring relief" - the state/condition that needs to be addressed.
Sense 2: "anything that is necessary but lacking" - the thing itself that is needed.

In "a more pressing need," this is most naturally interpreted as "a more pressing condition requiring relief/attention" or "a matter of more pressing necessity."

Let me think about the examples:
- "she satisfied his need for affection" = sense 1 - the need for affection is a condition requiring relief (lack of affection)
- "God has no need of men" = sense 1 - God has no condition requiring men's help
- "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs" = sense 2 - concrete necessities (food, shelter, etc.)
- "I tried to supply his wants" = sense 2 - supply the things he lacked

In our sentence, "a comprehensive development policy for governors over 30" is the thing being called for. But "need" itself refers to the condition: the situation/condition that requires such a policy.

Actually, "a more pressing need" could be read as "a more pressing [thing that is] necessary [but lacking]" - in which case the policy itself could be the need.

Hmm, but the policy is what's proposed to satisfy the need, not the need itself. The need is the underlying problem/condition.

Think of it as: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be [needed] more pressingly" or "there is a more pressing need [for a policy]."

Wait, the structure is: "[Such a policy] would seem to be a more pressing need." This equates the policy with the need. So "need" here is more like "something necessary/lacking" - the policy is the thing that's needed.

But actually, I think this is a metonymic usage. The policy is what satisfies the need. When we say "X is a pressing need," X is typically what is needed.

Consider: "Better education is a pressing need in this community." Here, "better education" is the need (the thing necessary but lacking). This aligns with sense 2.

But also: "There is a pressing need for better education." Here, "need" is the condition requiring relief. This aligns with sense 1.

Our sentence structure: "A comprehensive development policy... would seem to be a more pressing need." This is closer to "X is a pressing need" — so sense 2 might be better.

However, WordNet makes a distinction between:
- sense 1: condition requiring relief ("she satisfied his need")
- sense 2: anything necessary but lacking ("he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs")

The phrase "pressing need" is very common with sense 1. Let me think...

Actually, "need" in "a pressing need" when the subject is the thing needed is somewhat ambiguous. But I think in WordNet's classification, it would be sense 1 because:
- "pressing need" collocation strongly suggests urgency/relief
- The need is for the policy; the policy satisfies the need
- The underlying semantic frame is "there is a need [condition] for X"

But wait, the example for sense 2: "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs" - "needs" here are things like food, clothing, shelter. These are concrete necessities. A "development policy" is more abstract.

In sense 1: "she satisfied his need for affection" - need for affection is an abstract condition requiring relief.

A policy is abstract. So sense 1 seems more likely.

Also: "a more pressing need" — the comparative "pressing" modifies the urgency of the condition. "This is a more pressing condition requiring relief than that."

I think the best answer is sense 1: need%1:26:00:: — "a condition requiring relief."

But let me reconsider sense 2. If someone says "A new school is a need in this town," they're saying a new school is something necessary but lacking. Similarly, "A comprehensive development policy... is a more pressing need" could mean the policy itself is the necessary thing.

The key distinction in WordNet:
- 1:26:00 = condition requiring relief (a state/situation)
- 1:17:00 = anything necessary but lacking (a thing)

"A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30" is clearly a thing (albeit abstract). And the sentence says this thing "would seem to be a more pressing need." So equating the policy with the need suggests sense 2.

But actually, I think the natural reading is: "It would seem that there is a more pressing need for a comprehensive development policy for governors over 30." The phrase has been nominalized.

This is genuinely tricky. Let me look for additional clues.

The previous sentence: Gov. Clinton says "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five." Then the author: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."

The parallel is:
- "this country needs [policy X]"
- "[policy Y] would seem to be a more pressing need"

In the first, "needs" is a verb meaning requires. In the second, "need" is a noun. The noun "need" corresponds to the requirement/condition.

Given the schematic WordNet glosses and the typical usage, I think sense 1 is the standard interpretation of "a pressing need." The phrase "pressing need" almost always indicates sense 1 in WordNet.

Let me verify with intuition: If I say "There is a pressing need for action," the "need" is the condition/situation requiring relief. If I say "Food is a pressing need," the "need" could be sense 2 (the thing itself).

In our sentence, "A comprehensive development policy... would seem to be a more pressing need" — this is structurally "X is a pressing need" not "there is a pressing need for X." So it might be sense 2.

But I think WordNet annotators would likely tag "pressing need" as sense 1 because the collocation is so strongly associated with that sense, and because the underlying semantics is about a condition requiring relief.

Actually, I just realized: in "X is a pressing need," X is the satisfier of the need, but "need" refers to the necessity/condition. For example, "Money is a pressing need" = "There is a pressing need for money." Both instances would be sense 1 in WordNet, I believe, because "need" = condition requiring relief, and "for money" specifies what would relieve it.

Whereas sense 2 examples: "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs" - "needs" here are like requirements, necessities, things one must have. "Meet his needs" = satisfy his requirements. These are more like concrete items on a list of necessities.

In our case, "a more pressing need" follows "would seem to be" — I'm now leaning toward sense 1 because the noun "need" is being predicated of a policy, meaning "the necessity/condition for such a policy is more pressing."

Let me make a decision. Given:
1. "pressing need" is a very common collocation for sense 1
2. The underlying semantic structure is "there is a more pressing need [condition] for X"
3. Sense 2 examples involve concrete/meetable necessities, while this is satirical/abstract

I'll go with sense 1.

Let's analyze. The target "extending" means expanding scope/range of educational system to include younger ages. Candidate 1: extend%2:30:01 definition=extend in scope or range or area; synonyms=widen, broaden; examples The law was extended to all citizens; widen the range of applications. This fits well: extend the educational system down to pre-kindergarten years = broaden scope/range.

Candidate 9: expand the influence of; synonyms=expand; example The King extended his rule to the Eastern part of the continent. Could also fit, extending system down to pre-K. But sense 1 is more about extending scope/range/area, while sense 9 specifically expand the influence of. Candidate 16: continue or extend; example The disease extended into remote provinces; carry. Could indicate spatial/figurative extension. But target with object "the educational system" to pre-K: making it cover more grades, i.e., broaden/widen scope. The phrase "extending ... down to" implies downward expansion in scope.

Need decide single best. Let's inspect WordNet senses details. extend%2:30:01: "extend in scope or range or area" synset: widen, broaden, extend. Example: "The law was extended"; "widen the range of applications". This matches educational system scope. Candidate 16 extend%2:30:06 "continue or extend" syn carry. Example: civil war carried into neighboring province; disease extended. This is intransitive? It can be transitive "The disease extended into..." Actually "extend" there is intransitive or "carry" transitive? Sense maybe "continue or extend" includes spatial spreading. But "extending the educational system down to..." is transitive with object system, changing scope. Candidate 9 expand the influence of: extend one's rule to a region; transitive, but implies influence/power. Educational system not influence.

Candidate 1 likely best. But need be careful because candidate 16 might also be used for "extended into" but here object is system. Candidate 1 is index 1. Need output JSON only. No hedge.

Let's analyze. Context: political article. We really know all we need... Gov Clinton announced comprehensive child-development policy. Then: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational <t>system</t> down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program." So target phrase: "educational system". The meaning: the system (institution/organized structure) of education, extending down to pre-K. Candidate senses:
1. instrumentality with artifacts (physical system like stereo), not educational.
2. group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole; examples: production/distribution/consumption system. Syn scheme. Could apply to educational system as social organization of schools.
3. physical chemistry sample matter equilibrium - no.
4. complex of methods or rules governing behavior (system of rules). "they have to operate under a system they oppose" - political or bureaucratic. Could be "educational system" as system of rules/methods? It is an institution, not just rules.
5. organized structure for arranging or classifying. Topics, facts. Not educational system.
6. anatomical system - no.
7. procedure/process for obtaining objective - "they had to devise a system". Maybe educational system as process. But more social institution.
8. living body - no.
9. ordered manner/orderliness - "we need some system around here". Not educational system.

We need decide between sense 2 (group of independent but interrelated elements comprising unified whole) and sense 4 (complex of methods/rules governing behavior) maybe sense 7.

WordNet sense inventory: system%1:14:00: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole; "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going" "synergy" etc. It is under noun.group (group noun? lexicographer file 14 = groups). It includes scheme. This often corresponds to "social/economic/educational system". system%1:09:00: "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" e.g., "they have to operate under a system they oppose; that language has a complex system for indicating gender" (noun.cognition). This is like "system of rules", system as a set of rules/methods.

"educational system" likely maps to sense 2? Let's think about WordNet examples. Sense 2 examples: "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going". This is a socioeconomic system. Educational system could be "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole" e.g., schools, curricula, students, teachers. It belongs to noun.group. The sense 4 examples: "they have to operate under a system they oppose; that language has a complex system for indicating gender". Emphasis on rules/methods. The phrase "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years" suggests extending the existing schooling structure, institutions down. It refers to the organized network of education (schools etc.) rather than rules. Sense 2 likely best.

But let's verify by considering WordNet definitions for "educational system". In WordNet, "educational system" might be defined as "the system of public education" maybe? Let me recall: "system" in WordNet. Synset 2: system, scheme - a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole. "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going". "system" can be combined with "educational" or "economic". Yes, sense 2.

Sense 4: system, system of rules - a complex of methods or rules governing behavior. "they have to operate under a system they oppose". That also might include "educational system"? Could be "the educational system" as set of rules? Usually "system of rules" is used for language gender, legal system? Actually "legal system" is sense 4? Let's think: "system of rules" maybe "legal system" is sense 2? Hard. Let's see dictionary: "system: a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular: a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network." This broad. In WordNet, sense 2 covers social systems (transportation system, communication system, irrigation system). Sense 4 covers "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" e.g., feudal system, capitalist system? Hmm examples show "system they oppose". "Language has complex system for indicating gender". This is not artifacts; it is method/rules. Educational system has artifacts (schools) and rules. Which sense is more typical?

Let's see how WordNet distinguishes: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole" uses 'scheme' as synonym? Wait 'scheme' has many senses. This synset includes 'system' and 'scheme' (a schematic or systematic arrangement). Examples: "a vast system of production and distribution..." This is a social system. "the language has a complex system for indicating gender" belongs to sense 4 though. Why not sense 2? Because it focuses on rules of grammar, not elements. Educational system: an institution. WordNet may classify as sense 2. In SemCor, "system" is tagged? Let's recall maybe "educational system" examples. I can't recall exact.

Let's carefully examine candidate list and choose. The phrase "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years" implies extending the existing network/structure of education to include younger children. The "system" is a social organization/structure. Candidate 2 definition includes group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole; synonyms=scheme; examples production/distribution/consumption. That's about institutions. Candidate 4 is "complex of methods or rules governing behavior" e.g., operate under a system, language system. Candidate 7 is "procedure or process for obtaining an objective" e.g., devise a system. Candidate 9 "ordered manner". Among these, sense 2 is best.

2. sense_key=desirable%5:00:00:eligible:00 | definition=worthy of being chosen especially as a spouse | synonyms=suitable, worthy | examples=the parents found the girl suitable for their son

In this context, the author is discussing whether extending education down to pre-kindergarten is desirable or not - meaning whether it is worth having, worth seeking, or worth achieving. It's about whether such a policy would be good/beneficial to pursue.

This clearly matches sense 1, which means "worth having or seeking or achieving."

Sense 2 relates to being worthy as a spouse/partner - "eligible" in a romantic/marriage context with synonyms like "suitable, worthy" - this doesn't match at all. The context is not about marriage or being a spouse/romantic partner.

The sense index would be 1.
