The sentence is: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual <t>basis</t> of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."
The word is "basis".
Context: "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory"
Senses:
1. a relation that provides the foundation for something (e.g., footing)
2. the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained (e.g., the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture)
3. the most important or necessary part of something (e.g., the basis of this drink is orange juice)

"conceptual basis" refers to the fundamental assumptions or concepts from which mathematical theory is developed or explained.
Let's check the definitions.
Sense 2: "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained". "conceptual basis of mathematical theory" fits this perfectly. Mathematical theory is developed/calculated/explained from its conceptual basis (fundamental assumptions/concepts).

Let's double check Sense 1: "a relation that provides the foundation for something" - usually used as "on the basis of", "on a friendly footing".
Sense 3: "the most important or necessary part of something" - "the basis of this drink is orange juice".

Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's review the exact wording. "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory".
Basis = fundamental assumptions/principles.
Sense 2 matches best.
Return only the number.
Number: 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a <t>recent</t> math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator."
The word "recent" is used in the phrase "recent math major".
Sense 1: definition=new | examples=recent graduates
Sense 2: definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

"recent math major" is analogous to "recent graduates". It means he is a new math major, or recently graduated as a math major.
Wait, "recent graduate" uses "recent" in the sense of "new" (as in newly graduated).
Let's check WordNet senses for "recent".
Sense 1: new - "recent graduates"
Sense 2: late, recent - of the immediate past or just previous to the present time; "a late development"; "their recent quarrel"; "recent graduates" (wait, is recent graduates sense 1 or 2?)
Actually, WordNet:
recent (adj)
1. recent, late - of the immediate past or just previous to the present time; "a late development"; "their recent quarrel"; "the recent past"; "his recent experience"
2. recent, new - near to the present time; "recent graduates" -> Wait, "new" as in "recent graduates"? Let me check.
"new" (adj) -> "recent graduates" is an example for "new"? Or "recent"?
Let's look at the given senses:
1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

In the sentence: "...himself a recent math major at Harvard..."
This matches "recent graduates" (new). A "recent math major" means someone who recently majored in math / recently graduated.
So it aligns with Sense 1.

Wait, is "recent math major" closer to "recent graduates"? Yes.
Sense 1: definition=new | examples=recent graduates.
Sense 2: definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development.

I will return 1.
Let me double check if "recent" in "recent math major" means "new" or "of the immediate past".
Well, "recent graduates" is the exact example for the "new" sense in WordNet. "recent math major" is structurally identical to "recent graduate".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Another WordNet sense for recent:
recent (adj)
1. new - "recent graduates"
2. late, recent - of the immediate past...

Wait, the prompt says:
1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

I will output 1.
Let me confirm the exact wording. "recent graduates" is definitely Sense 1.
"recent math major" -> 1.
Done.

In the sentence: "Most important of all..."
This means "the most important of all". It's forming the superlative of "important".
Sense 1: used to form the superlative.
Let's double check. "Most important of all" -> superlative.
Sense 2: very. "a most important of all" doesn't make sense.
Sense 3: almost. Doesn't make sense.

So the correct sense is 1.

5. definition=(used with negation) having consequence | examples=they were friends and it was no matter who won the games
6. definition=written works (especially in books or magazines) | examples=he always took some reading matter with him on the plane

"matters of student discipline" means concerns or issues related to student discipline.
Sense 1: "a vaguely specified concern" - "several matters to attend to". "matters of student discipline" fits this well (affairs, concerns, issues).
Sense 2: "some situation or event that is thought about" - "topic".
Wait, WordNet senses for "matter":
1. matter, affair, thing (a vaguely specified concern) "several matters to attend to"
2. topic, subject, matter, issue (some situation or event that is thought about) "he kept drifting off the topic"
3. matter (that which has mass and occupies space)
4. trouble, matter (a problem) "is anything the matter?"
5. matter ((used with negation) having consequence)
6. reading_material, reading_matter, reading, matter (written works)

In the sentence, "matters of student discipline" refers to affairs or concerns. So Sense 1.
Let's double check. "affairs" -> "matters of student discipline".
Yes, Sense 1 is "a vaguely specified concern".
Sense 2 is "some situation or event that is thought about" (topic/subject).
"matters of student discipline" -> concerns/affairs. So 1.
Let's confirm if it could be 1. "all matters of student discipline" = all concerns/affairs of student discipline.
Yes, 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the <t>most</t> recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."
The target word is "most" in the phrase "the most recent".
"most recent" means the superlative form of "recent".
Sense 1: used to form the superlative (e.g., the king cobra is the most dangerous snake).
Sense 2: very (e.g., a most welcome relief).
Sense 3: slightly short of or not quite accomplished (e.g., the job is most done - wait, example says "about done", but definition is for "most" as in "most all" or "most done").

In "the most recent", "most" is used to form the superlative of the adjective "recent".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- <t>tells</t> us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."
The word is "tells".
Senses:
1. express in words
2. let something be known
3. narrate or give a detailed account of
4. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority
5. discern or comprehend
6. inform positively and with certainty and confidence
7. give evidence
8. mark as different

Wait, the studies "tell us that...".
Let's look at WordNet senses for "tell":
1. express in words (say, state, tell) - "He said that he wanted to marry her"
2. let something be known (tell) - "Tell them that you will be late"
3. narrate or give a detailed account of (tell, narrate, recount, recite) - "Tell what happened"
4. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority (tell, order, enjoin, say) - "I said to him to go home"
5. discern or comprehend (tell) - "He could tell that she was unhappy"
6. inform positively and with certainty and confidence (tell, assure) - "I tell you that man is a crook!"
7. give evidence (tell, tell on) - "he was telling on all his former colleague"
8. mark as different (distinguish, separate, differentiate, secern, secernate, demarcate, tell, tell apart) - "We distinguish several kinds of maple"

In the sentence, "Study after study ... tells us that..."
Is it sense 1 (express in words), sense 2 (let something be known), or sense 6 (inform positively)?
Usually, "X tells us that Y" where X is a study, report, etc.
Wait, "tell" as in "let something be known" -> "Tell them that you will be late".
"tell" as in "express in words" -> "He said that he wanted to marry her" (Wait, the example uses "said", but the sense is "express in words" - say, state, tell).
Let's check the exact WordNet sense for "tells us that".
"Study after study tells us that..."
Could it be "let something be known"? "Tell them that you will be late".
Could it be "inform positively and with certainty and confidence"? "I tell you that man is a crook!"
Could it be "express in words"? "He said that he wanted to marry her" -> say, state, tell. "The study tells us..." -> state.
Actually, in WordNet, "tell" (let something be known) is "Tell them that you will be late".
"tell" (express in words) is "say, state, tell". Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her".
Let's consider "tell" meaning "show" or "indicate" or "state".
Often, "tells us that" is mapped to sense 2 (let something be known) or sense 1 (express in words).
Wait! In the SemCor or similar datasets, "tell" in "tells us that" (when the subject is an inanimate object like a study, report, clock, etc.) is often sense 2 or sense 1.
Wait, "let something be known" -> "The study tells us that..." -> it makes it known to us.
Let's look at another example: "The data tells us that..." -> let something be known?
Actually, what about "inform"? "inform positively and with certainty" is assure.
Let's look at WordNet 3.0:
tell (let something be known) "Tell them that you will be late"
tell (express in words) "He said that he wanted to marry her" -> wait, the synset is {say, state, tell}.
If the subject is a study, it "states" or "says". So sense 1?
Wait, if it's "say, state, tell", the definition is "express in words".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"Study after study ... tells us that ..." -> "state" -> express in words.
Let's think if sense 2 "let something be known" is better. "Tell them that you will be late" implies a command or request to inform.
"The study tells us" -> The study states/informs.
I will guess sense 2 or sense 1. "inform" is not a separate sense here, but "let something be known" is.
Wait, in WordNet, "tell" has:
1. say, state, tell (express in words) "He said that he wanted to marry her"
2. tell (let something be known) "Tell them that you will be late"
3. tell, narrate, recount, recite (narrate or give a detailed account of) "Tell what happened"
4. order, tell, enjoin, say (give instructions to...) "I said to him to go home"
5. tell (discern or comprehend) "He could tell that she was unhappy"
6. tell, assure (inform positively and with certainty and confidence) "I tell you that man is a crook!"
7. tell, tell on (give evidence) "he was telling on all his former colleague"
8. distinguish, separate, differentiate, secern, secernate, demarcate, tell, tell apart (mark as different) "We distinguish several kinds of maple"

If I search for "tells us that", it's often "state" -> sense 1.
Wait, let's consider the phrase "tells us". "us" is the indirect object. "that..." is the direct object.
In sense 1, "say, state, tell" - "He said that he wanted to marry her" (no indirect object in the example, but "state to us" or "tell us" works).
In sense 2, "tell" - "Tell them that you will be late". Here "them" is the indirect object.
So "tells us that" perfectly matches the syntax of sense 2: Tell [indirect object] that [clause].
But semantically, a study doesn't "let something be known" in the imperative sense, it "states" it.
However, "tell" in "The study tells us" is often synonymous with "informs us" or "lets us know".
Let's check if there's an exact match in a corpus.
"Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."
This looks like it's from a known corpus, probably the Wall Street Journal or similar, used in Senseval or SemCor.
If it's from SemCor, "tell" as in "The study tells us" might be tagged as sense 2 (let something be known) or sense 1 (express in words).
Actually, "tell" meaning "to let something be known" is often used for "tell someone something".
Let's consider "tell" (sense 2) vs "tell" (sense 1).
Sense 1: say, state, tell. "express in words".
Sense 2: tell. "let something be known".
"Study after study ... tells us that ..." -> "Studies state that..." -> Sense 1.
Wait, "tell" (let something be known) is usually "tell someone". "Tell them that you will be late."
What about "The evidence tells us that..."?
I'll bet on Sense 2 because of the ditransitive construction "tell [someone] that [something]". WordNet often distinguishes "say/state" (which can take a that-clause directly: "He said that...") from "tell" (which usually requires an indirect object: "He told me that..."). The sense "let something be known" specifically captures the ditransitive "tell [person] [message]".
Let's re-read the examples.
Sense 1 example: "He said that he wanted to marry her" (verb is 'said', but sense includes 'tell').
Sense 2 example: "Tell them that you will be late" (verb is 'Tell', indirect object 'them', that-clause).
Since the sentence has "tells us that", it matches the syntax of Sense 2 perfectly.
Let's double check. Is there any chance it's Sense 1?
"He said that..." -> Sense 1.
"Tell them that..." -> Sense 2.
The sentence has "tells us that". So Sense 2.

Let me think if "tell" in "tells us" could be "inform positively" (Sense 6). "I tell you that man is a crook!" - No, that's emphatic.
Could it be "give evidence" (Sense 7)? No.
I'm fairly confident it's Sense 2. Let me review if "let something be known" applies to inanimate subjects like "study". "The study lets it be known to us that..." -> "The study tells us that...". Yes, it makes it known.
Wait, could it be Sense 1? "state" -> "The study states to us that..." -> "The study tells us that...".
In WordNet, "tell" (let something be known) has hyponyms like "inform", "apprise", "advise", "notify". "The study informs us that..." makes perfect sense.
"tell" (express in words) has hyponyms like "say", "state", "mention", "note". "The study notes that..." (without 'us').
Because of the indirect object "us", "informs us" (let something be known) is a better fit than "states us" (which is ungrammatical). You "state that", but you "tell someone that". Thus, the presence of "us" strongly points to Sense 2 (let something be known / inform).

Let's confirm:
1. express in words (say, state, tell)
2. let something be known (tell) -> implies informing someone.
Therefore, "tells us" = informs us = lets us know = Sense 2.

I will output 2.

Sentence: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the <t>best</t> schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."

The word "best" is used to describe "schools". It means the schools with the most positive qualities, the highest quality schools.

1. definition=(superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities | examples=the best film of the year
2. definition=(comparative and superlative of `well') wiser or more advantageous and hence advisable | examples=it would be better to speak to him

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "best schools" = schools having the most positive qualities.
Sense 2 is for "well" (adverb/adjective meaning advisable).

Let's double check.
"best schools" -> superlative of good. Having the most positive qualities.
Therefore, the sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best <t>schools</t> are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."

The word is "schools".
The context is about educational institutions being free of outside interference and governed by a powerful head.
This refers to the educational institution itself (the organization/administration/entity), not just the building, the process, the period, or the faculty/students specifically, though it could be related. Let's look at the options.

1. an educational institution | the school was founded in 1900
2. a building where young people receive education | the school was built in 1932
3. the process of being formally educated at a school | what will you do when you finish school?
4. a body of creative artists...
5. the period of instruction...
6. an educational institution's faculty and students | the school keeps parents informed

"schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."
This defines the institution/organization. Sense 1: "an educational institution".
Let's double check sense 1 vs 6. "governed by a powerful head" applies to the institution. "free of outside interference" applies to the institution.
Sense 1 is "an educational institution".

Let's check WordNet senses for "school":
1. school (an educational institution) "the school was founded in 1900"
2. school, schoolhouse (a building where young people receive education) "the school was built in 1932"; "he walked to school every morning"
3. school, schooling (the process of being formally educated at a school) "what will you do when you finish school?"
4. school (a body of creative artists or writers or thinkers linked by a similar style or by similar teachers) "his poetry was not in the vogue of the school of Whitman"; "the Venetian school of painting"
5. school, schooltime (the period of instruction in a school; the time period when school is in session) "stay after school"; "he didn't miss a single day of school"
6. school (an educational institution's faculty and students) "the school keeps parents informed"; "the school has a good reputation"
7. school (a large group of fish) "a school of small glittering fish swam by"

In the sentence, "the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head." This refers to the institution as an organizational entity. Sense 1 is "an educational institution".

Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let's review if "school" as an institution is Sense 1. Yes.
Is it Sense 6? "the school keeps parents informed" -> the people. Here it's about the governance and interference, which is about the institution. So Sense 1.
I will return 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of <t>outside</t> interference and are governed by a powerful head."
The word "outside" modifies "interference".
"outside interference" means interference coming from the outside, originating beyond the bounds of the school.
Let's look at the senses:
1. relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit
2. coming from the outside (extraneous)
3. originating or belonging beyond some bounds: the outside world
Wait, "outside interference" -> interference coming from the outside.
Let's check WordNet senses for "outside" (adjective).
Sense 1: relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit ("an outside margin")
Sense 2: coming from the outside ("extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph", "outside interference"?) Wait, the example for Sense 2 is "extraneous light...". Let's check Sense 3: originating or belonging beyond some bounds ("the outside world").
Is "outside interference" Sense 2 or Sense 3?
"outside" (adj)
1. outside - relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit; "an outside margin"
2. external, outside - coming from the outside; "extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph"; "relying upon an extraneous income"; "outside interference" -> wait, is "outside interference" an example for external/outside?
Let's search my knowledge base for "outside interference".
WordNet:
external, outside (coming from the outside) "extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph"; "relying upon an extraneous income"; "outside interference" -> Wait, "extraneous" is a synonym. The definition is "coming from the outside".
Let's check the examples given in the prompt for Sense 2: "extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph".
Sense 3: "originating or belonging beyond some bounds:" "the outside world".
"outside interference" perfectly matches "coming from the outside" (external).
Let's double check.
"free of outside interference" -> interference coming from the outside.
Sense 2: coming from the outside.
Let's consider Sense 3: originating or belonging beyond some bounds. "the outside world".
Usually, "outside interference" is translated as external interference.
Let's check the exact WordNet synset for "outside" (adj).
Synset 1: outside (relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit) "an outside margin"
Synset 2: external, outside (coming from the outside) "extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph" "relying upon an extraneous income" "outside interference" -> Wait, if "outside interference" is an example in WordNet, it might not be listed in the prompt's truncated examples, or it is exactly Sense 2. The prompt gives "extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph" for Sense 2.
Synset 3: outside (originating or belonging beyond some bounds:) "the outside world"
Synset 4: outdoor, outside, out-of-door (located, suited for, or taking place in the open air) "outdoor clothes"
Synset 5: extramural, outside (functioning outside the boundaries or precincts of an organized unit) "extramural hospital care and treatment"
Synset 6: outside (leading to or from the outside) "an outside door"
Synset 7: external, international, outside (from or between other countries) "external commerce"
Synset 8: outside (very unlikely) "an outside chance"
Synset 9: outer, outside (on or toward an outer edge) "an outer lane"
Synset 10: away, outside, wide ((of a baseball pitch) on the far side of home plate from the batter)

So "outside interference" means interference coming from the outside. Thus, Sense 2.

Let me review if it could be 3. "originating or belonging beyond some bounds". "the outside world". "outside interference" means interference from outside the school. "coming from the outside" is the definition of external/outside.
I am confident it is Sense 2.
"outside interference" is a classic collocation for "external".
Sense 2 definition: coming from the outside.

Let's just re-verify:
Sentence: "...free of outside interference..."
Sense 2: coming from the outside
Sense 3: originating or belonging beyond some bounds
"interference" is an action or influence, so it "comes from" the outside. Sense 2 fits best.

Number: 2.
I will return 2.

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

Sentence: Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside <t>interference</t> and are governed by a powerful head.

Senses:
1. definition=a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries
2. definition=the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding
3. definition=electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication
4. definition=(American football) blocking a player's path with your body | examples=he ran interference for the quarterback
5. definition=any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside <t>interference</t> and are governed by a powerful head."
The word is "interference".
The context is about schools being free of outside interference, meaning outside intervention or meddling in their affairs.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries (No, this is about schools, not countries). Wait, WordNet sense for interference: "a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries" -> noninterference. But maybe "intervening in the affairs of others"? Let's read the exact WordNet definitions.
Wait, let's check WordNet senses for "interference":
1. interference, intervention - (a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries) -> wait, no, "intervention" is that. Let's check "interference" in WordNet.
Senses of interference:
1. interference (the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding)
2. interference, noise, disturbance (electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication)
3. interference (a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries) - wait, is this a sense of interference? Yes, "noninterference" is related, but "interference" has the sense "a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries" or just "intervention". Actually, WordNet has:
- interference (the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding)
- interference, noise, disturbance (electrical or acoustic activity...)
- interference (a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries) -> wait, "interference" as in "government interference".
Let's re-read the provided senses:
1. definition=a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries
2. definition=the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding
3. definition=electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication
4. definition=(American football) blocking a player's path with your body | examples=he ran interference for the quarterback
5. definition=any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome

Wait, is "outside interference" in schools "the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding" (Sense 2) or "a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries" (Sense 1)? Obviously not countries.
Could it be Sense 2? "the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding".
Wait, could it be "intervention" in the affairs of others? The definition says "other countries", which doesn't fit schools.
Let's consider Sense 2: "the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding". Outside interference hinders the school's autonomy.
Wait, what about the exact WordNet synsets for "interference"?
Synset 1: interference (the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding)
Synset 2: interference, noise, disturbance (electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication)
Synset 3: interference (a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries) -> wait, no, the WordNet definition for "interference" (noun) is:
1. interference (the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding)
2. interference, noise, disturbance (electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication)
3. interference (a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries) -> actually, this might be the definition for "intervention" or "interference" in international law.
Wait, "outside interference" in the context of schools means meddling, which hinders or obstructs. So Sense 2.

Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"free of outside interference" -> meddling. Meddling is hindering/obstructing/impeding.
Therefore, Sense 2.

Let's review the options again.
1. a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries (No)
2. the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding (Yes)
3. electrical or acoustic activity... (No)
4. American football... (No)
5. any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome (This is "hindrance" or "encumbrance", not interference. Wait, "hindrance" is "any obstruction that impedes...").

So Sense 2 is the best fit.
Number: 2.
I will return 2.

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

Sentence: Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are <t>governed</t> by a powerful head.

Senses:
1. definition=bring into conformity with rules or principles or usage; impose regulations | examples=We cannot regulate the way people dress
2. definition=direct or strongly influence the behavior of | examples=His belief in God governs his conduct
3. definition=exercise authority over; as of nations | examples=Who is governing the country now?
4. definition=require to be in a certain grammatical case, voice, or mood | examples=most transitive verbs govern the accusative case in German

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."
The word is "governed".
Senses:
1. bring into conformity with rules... (regulate)
2. direct or strongly influence the behavior of (His belief in God governs his conduct)
3. exercise authority over; as of nations (Who is governing the country now?)
4. require to be in a certain grammatical case...

In the sentence, schools are "governed by a powerful head". This means the powerful head exercises authority over the schools, manages or directs them. This aligns with sense 3: "exercise authority over". Wait, is it 3 or 2?
Sense 3: exercise authority over; as of nations. But it can apply to schools, organizations, etc. "governed by a powerful head" -> the head exercises authority over the school.
Let's check WordNet definitions for "govern".
1. govern, regulate, regularize, regularise, order (bring into conformity with rules or principles or usage; impose regulations) "We cannot regulate the way people dress"; "This decision regularizes the use of drugs"
2. govern, influence (direct or strongly influence the behavior of) "His belief in God governs his conduct"
3. govern, command (exercise authority over; as of nations) "Who is governing the country now?"
4. govern (require to be in a certain grammatical case, voice, or mood) "most transitive verbs govern the accusative case in German"

"governed by a powerful head" -> A powerful head exercises authority over the school. This fits sense 3 (exercise authority over).

Let's double check.
Sense 3: exercise authority over. The head of a school governs it.
Therefore, the sense is 3.
There is no ambiguity.

Number: 3.

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

Sentence: Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a <t>powerful</t> head.

Senses:
1. definition=having great power or force or potency or effect | examples=the most powerful government in western Europe
2. definition=strong enough to knock down or overwhelm | examples=a knock-down blow
3. definition=having great influence
4. definition=(of a person) possessing physical strength and weight; rugged and powerful | examples=a hefty athlete
5. definition=displaying superhuman strength or power | examples=herculean exertions

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a <t>powerful</t> head."
The word "powerful" refers to a "head" (as in headmaster or principal) of a school.
The context is about a school being free of outside interference and governed by a powerful head. This implies the head has great authority, influence, or power to govern.
Let's look at the senses:
1. having great power or force or potency or effect (e.g., the most powerful government)
2. strong enough to knock down or overwhelm (e.g., a knock-down blow)
3. having great influence
4. (of a person) possessing physical strength and weight; rugged and powerful (e.g., a hefty athlete)
5. displaying superhuman strength or power (e.g., herculean exertions)

Wait, "having great influence" (sense 3) vs "having great power or force or potency or effect" (sense 1).
In WordNet, "powerful" has senses:
1. powerful (having great power or force or potency or effect) "the most powerful government in western Europe"; "a powerful argument"
2. mighty, powerful (strong enough to knock down or overwhelm) "a knock-down blow"
3. powerful (having great influence) "a powerful director"; "a powerful lobby"
4. brawny, beefy, hefty, husky, powerful, puissant (of a person) possessing physical strength and weight; rugged and powerful) "a hefty athlete"; "a powerful wrestler"
5. herculean, mighty, powerful (displaying superhuman strength or power) "herculean exertions"

The sentence says "governed by a powerful head". "Head" here means headmaster or leader. A powerful director/leader has great influence or authority. Sense 3 has the example "a powerful director". "Head" of a school is synonymous with director.
Let's check if there is an exact match for the sentence in the examples or if it aligns with "having great influence".
"governed by a powerful head" -> a head with great influence/power.
Wait, sense 3 is "having great influence".
Let's consider Sense 1: "having great power or force or potency or effect".
Sense 3: "having great influence".
Often, "powerful" applied to a person in a leadership role (like a head, director, politician) falls under "having great influence" or "having great power".
Let's check WordNet for "powerful head".
Wait, the example for sense 3 is "a powerful director". A school head is a director.
Is it sense 3?
Let's think if "powerful" in "powerful head" means influential or having great power.
Actually, WordNet sense 3 for powerful: "having great influence" - examples: "a powerful director", "a powerful lobby".
Sense 1: "having great power or force or potency or effect" - examples: "the most powerful government in western Europe", "a powerful argument".
Since "head" is a person in charge, similar to "director", sense 3 seems very appropriate.
Wait, let me double check WordNet 3.1.
Senses of powerful (adjective):
1. powerful (having great power or force or potency or effect) "the most powerful government in western Europe"; "a powerful argument"
2. mighty, powerful (strong enough to knock down or overwhelm) "a knock-down blow"
3. powerful (having great influence) "a powerful director"; "a powerful lobby"
4. brawny, beefy, hefty, husky, powerful, puissant ((of a person) possessing physical strength and weight; rugged and powerful) "a hefty athlete"; "a powerful wrestler"; "a powerful man"
5. herculean, mighty, powerful (displaying superhuman strength or power) "herculean exertions"

The sentence: "...governed by a powerful head."
"head" here refers to the head of the school (headmaster / principal). This is a person with authority and influence. So sense 3 ("having great influence") fits perfectly, like "a powerful director".
Could it be 1? "powerful government" is an organization. "head" is a person.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best match.

Let's review the exact text of the sentence. It looks like it's from a corpus (like Brown or WaC).
"Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."
This is likely from a news article or essay.
In WordNet, "powerful" sense 3 is "having great influence".
I will output 3.
Let me double check if there's any reason it might be 1.
"having great power or force or potency or effect"
If the head has "great power", it could be 1. But "director" is explicitly in 3. "Head" is synonymous with "director".
I'll go with 3.
Wait, is "head" considered an organization or a person? A person.
Sense 3: having great influence.
I am confident in 3.
Let me just re-read sense 1 and 3.
1. having great power or force or potency or effect
3. having great influence
Yes, 3 is for people and groups that exert influence (director, lobby).
I will return 3.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful <t>head</t>."

The word "head" here refers to the person in charge of a school, i.e., a headmaster, principal, or head of the school.
Let's check the senses.
Sense 4: a person who is in charge (e.g., the head of the whole operation)
Sense 13: the educator who has executive authority for a school (e.g., she sent unruly pupils to see the principal) - wait, the example uses "principal", but the definition is "the educator who has executive authority for a school". "Head" is often used as a synonym for principal (headmaster/headmistress).

Let's look closely at Sense 13: "definition=the educator who has executive authority for a school | examples=she sent unruly pupils to see the principal". Synonyms for principal include head, headmaster, school principal.
In the sentence: "...governed by a powerful head." This refers to the head of the school.
Sense 13 specifically mentions "the educator who has executive authority for a school".
Sense 4 is "a person who is in charge".

Is it 13 or 4?
"governed by a powerful head" in the context of "the best schools".
WordNet synonym set for principal/headmaster/school principal/head: "the educator who has executive authority for a school".
Yes, "head" in the context of a school is Sense 13.
Let's double check.
Sense 13: the educator who has executive authority for a school.
Matches perfectly with "schools ... governed by a powerful head".

Let's confirm if WordNet has "head" as a synonym for principal.
Yes, "principal, school principal, head, headmaster, headmistress" -> the educator who has executive authority for a school.
Therefore, Sense 13 is the correct one.
Number: 13.
Wait, let me just ensure it's not 4. "head of the whole operation" is "head, honcho, boss, top dog".
"head" as school principal is definitely sense 13.
I will return 13.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "With that <t>authority</t>, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."
The word is "authority".
The sentence implies that having the power/right to make decisions or give orders comes with accountability.
Let's check the senses:
1. the power or right to give orders or make decisions
2. persons who exercise control
3. an expert
4. freedom from doubt
5. an administrative unit
6. official permission
7. an authoritative written work

Let's double check.
Sense 1: power or right to give orders or make decisions.
Yes, "With that authority [power to make decisions], of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: With that authority, of course, <t>goes</t> an unambiguous accountability.

Senses:
1. definition=be present or associated with an event or entity | examples=French fries come with the hamburger
2. definition=go or occur together | examples=The word 'hot' tends to cooccur with 'cold'

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."
The word is "goes" (from "go_with").
Sense 1: be present or associated with an event or entity. Examples: French fries come with the hamburger.
Sense 2: go or occur together. Examples: The word 'hot' tends to cooccur with 'cold'.

Wait, "go with" in "With that authority goes an unambiguous accountability" means "is associated with" or "accompanies".
Let's check WordNet senses for "go_with" or "go with".
Actually, WordNet has:
- go_with, go with (be present or associated with an event or entity) "French fries come with the hamburger"; "The heart attack went with his high cholesterol level" -> Wait, "go with" / "come with" / "accompany"
- cooccur, co-occur, concurrent, go_with (go or occur together) "The word 'hot' tends to go with 'cold'"

In the sentence "With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability", accountability is associated with authority. It's an abstract association, or accompanying feature.
Let's look at Sense 1: "be present or associated with an event or entity".
Sense 2: "go or occur together" (like words co-occurring, or events occurring together in time).
Authority and accountability are entities/concepts that are associated. "With X goes Y" means Y is associated with X. This fits Sense 1 better (be present or associated with).
Wait, "go with" Sense 1: "French fries come with the hamburger".
Sense 2: "cooccur, co-occur, go with".

Let's check if there's a specific WordNet sense for "go_with" or just "go".
Actually, in WordNet:
Verb: go
...
Sense: accompany, go with, go together, go along (be present or associated with an event or entity) "French fries come with the hamburger"
Sense: cooccur, co-occur, go with (go or occur together) "The word 'hot' tends to go with 'cold'"

"With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."
This means accountability is associated with authority.
Sense 1: be present or associated with an event or entity.
Sense 2: go or occur together.

"associated with an event or entity" fits "authority" (entity) and "accountability" (associated with it).
Therefore, Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"With that authority goes an unambiguous accountability." -> Accountability accompanies authority.
Sense 1: "be present or associated with an event or entity".
Sense 2: "go or occur together" (usually for events or words).
So Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will return 1.

2. definition=admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion | examples=unequivocal evidence

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "With that authority, of course, goes an <t>unambiguous</t> accountability."
The word is "unambiguous".
Sense 1: having or exhibiting a single clearly defined meaning (e.g., apartheid is absolutely unambiguous).
Sense 2: admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion (e.g., unequivocal evidence).

In the sentence, "unambiguous accountability" means accountability that is clear, admitting no doubt or misunderstanding, absolute. It doesn't refer to a "single clearly defined meaning" in a linguistic or semantic sense (like a word or a concept like apartheid), but rather to a state of being clear and undeniable, leaving no room for doubt.
Wait, let's look at the definitions closely.
Sense 1: "having or exhibiting a single clearly defined meaning"
Sense 2: "admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion" - "unequivocal evidence", "unambiguous accountability".

Let's check WordNet.
unambiguous (adjective)
1. unambiguous - admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion; "unequivocal evidence"; "unambiguous authority"
Wait, "unambiguous authority" is an example for Sense 2?
Let's search for "unambiguous accountability".
Actually, WordNet synsets for unambiguous:
S: (adj) unambiguous (admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion) "unequivocal evidence"; "unambiguous authority"
Wait, is "unambiguous authority" the exact example?
Let's check the given sentence: "With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."
This strongly aligns with "admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding".

Let's review Sense 1: "having or exhibiting a single clearly defined meaning; - Mario Vargas Llosa | examples=As a horror, apartheid...is absolutely unambiguous"
Sense 2: "admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion | examples=unequivocal evidence"

"unambiguous accountability" means accountability that is clear and undeniable. This fits Sense 2 (admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding).

Let's double check.
Sense 2 definition: admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding...
Yes, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Number: 2.

6. an educational institution's faculty and students
7. a large group of fish

In the sentence, "Schools that are structured in this way produce students..." refers to the educational institutions as a whole (or the faculty/students, but "educational institution" is the most direct fit for "structured in this way produce students"). Wait, "educational institution" (sense 1) vs "educational institution's faculty and students" (sense 6).
"Schools that are structured..." - refers to the institution itself. Let's look at the examples.
Sense 1: "the school was founded in 1900"
Sense 6: "the school keeps parents informed" (referring to the people).
Here, "Schools ... produce students" refers to the institution. So sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: an educational institution.
Sense 2: a building.
Sense 6: faculty and students.
"Schools that are structured in this way" -> the institution's structure.
Therefore, sense 1.

Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens". Example: "her dignified manner" (manner/way).
Wait, "in this way" -> manner.
Let's check Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
Sense 1: how something is done or how it happens (manner, fashion, way). "Schools that are structured in this way" -> structured in this manner.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
WordNet sense for "way":
- way, manner, mode, fashion, style (how something is done or how it happens) "her dignified manner"; "his rapid manner of talking"; "they started in a business-like way (or manner)"; "in the American fashion" -> Sense 1.
- means, way, agency (how a result is obtained or an end is achieved) "a means of control"; "an example is the way to clarify"; "his way of thinking" -> Sense 2.

"structured in this way" -> manner -> Sense 1.
I will return 1.
End of thought.
