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

Sentence: A comprehensive development <t>policy</t> for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need.

Senses:
1. definition=a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group | examples=it was a policy of retribution
2. definition=a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government | examples=they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation
3. definition=written contract or certificate of insurance | examples=you should have read the small print on your policy

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A comprehensive development <t>policy</t> for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
The word "policy" here refers to a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group (in this case, a development policy for governors).
Wait, "development policy" -> a plan of action or a set of principles/rules.
Let's check the senses:
1. a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group
2. a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government
3. written contract or certificate of insurance

Sense 1 fits best. "A comprehensive development policy" = a plan of action.

Wait, is "governors" referring to state governors or something else? "development policy for governors" - could it be a typo for "governesses"? Or just a plan of action. Regardless, it's Sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: plan of action.
Sense 2: line of argument.
Sense 3: insurance.

Clearly Sense 1.

Sentence: A comprehensive development policy for <t>governors</t> over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need.

The sentence is: "A comprehensive development policy for <t>governors</t> over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
Wait, "governors over 30"? That sounds like it might be referring to people (head of state government) who are over 30 years old, or maybe it's a specific context. Let me re-read carefully.
Could it be "governors" as in mechanical governors? "development policy for governors over 30" - maybe "governors" refers to state governors (politicians). Wait, "governors over 30" - could it be a typo for something?
Wait, if it's "governors over 30", it usually means state governors who are over 30 years of age, or maybe it means mechanical governors that are over 30 years old? "development policy for governors over 30 [years old]" -> probably mechanical governors (machines) or state governors. But "development policy" usually applies to people (like employee development policy, leadership development policy). Wait, "comprehensive development policy for governors over 30" - could it be from a text about leadership development for state governors?
Let's search my knowledge base for "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
Actually, it might be about state governors. Wait, "governors over 30" might mean "governors over 30 years of age"? Most governors are over 30.
What if it's "governors" in a school context? No, that's not one of the senses.
Let's consider the senses provided:
1. the head of a state government
2. a control that maintains a steady speed in a machine

If it's sense 1, "governors" = heads of state government.
If it's sense 2, "governors" = mechanical controls. "development policy for governors over 30" - maybe "over 30" means over 30 years old (obsolete machines)? Or over 30 [something else]?
Actually, "governors" usually refers to the politicians in texts about "development policy" (like professional development). Wait, could it be "governors" meaning members of a board of governors? The senses don't include board of governors. So it must be sense 1.
Let's think if there's any context where "governors over 30" means mechanical governors. "development policy for governors over 30 [rpm?]" No.
Let's assume Sense 1.
Wait, let's search for the exact phrase "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
Could it be about school governors? In the UK, school governors are members of a governing body. But sense 1 is "the head of a state government". Is there a better fit? No, only 2 senses are given.
Wait, what if the sentence is from a corpus like WordNet or SemCor?
In SemCor, "governor" as head of state is very common.
Let's check if there is any other interpretation. "governors over 30" -> "governors" (heads of state).
I will output 1.
Let me double check if "governors over 30" could mean "governors" (mechanical) operating at over 30 [something]. Unlikely to use "development policy". "Development policy" strongly implies human resource development, hence human governors. Thus, sense 1.
I will return 1.

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

Sentence: A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would <t>seem</t> to be a more pressing need.

Senses:
1. definition=give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | examples=She seems to be sleeping
2. definition=seem to be true, probable, or apparent | examples=It seems that he is very gifted
3. definition=appear to exist | examples=There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now
4. definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need."
The target word is "seem".
Let's analyze the senses:
1. give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect (She seems to be sleeping)
2. seem to be true, probable, or apparent (It seems that he is very gifted)
3. appear to exist (There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now)
4. appear to one's own mind or opinion (I seem to be misunderstood by everyone)

In the sentence, "would seem to be a more pressing need" means it appears to be true or probable that it is a more pressing need.
Wait, "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" fits "would seem to be".
Let's check the examples.
Sense 2: "It seems that he is very gifted" -> It is probable/apparent that he is very gifted.
In the sentence, "A comprehensive development policy... would seem to be a more pressing need." -> It seems to be true/probable that it is a more pressing need.
Could it be sense 1? "give a certain impression". "She seems to be sleeping" -> She gives the impression of sleeping.
Sense 2 is about a proposition being true/probable. "It seems that..." or "X seems to be Y" where it's an evaluation of truth/probability.
Actually, WordNet senses for "seem":
1. seem, appear, look (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 appear none too happy about the result"
2. seem (seem to be true, probable, or apparent) "It seems that he is very gifted"; "It appears that he is wrong"
3. seem, appear (appear to exist) "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"
4. seem, appear (appear to one's own mind or opinion) "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone"; "There seems no reason to..." wait.

Let's look closely at Sense 2: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent". Example: "It seems that he is very gifted".
In the sentence: "...would seem to be a more pressing need." This is expressing an opinion or probability about a proposition. "It would seem that a comprehensive development policy... is a more pressing need."
Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
Sense 1 is about physical appearance or outward aspect (She seems to be sleeping, he looks tired).
Sense 2 is about a situation or fact appearing to be true (It seems that..., it seems to be the case).
"A comprehensive development policy ... would seem to be a more pressing need." -> This is a proposition appearing to be true. So Sense 2.

Number 2.
Decision: 2.

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

Sentence: A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a <t>more</t> pressing need.

Senses:
1. definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | examples=more interesting
2. definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a <t>more</t> pressing need."
The word "more" modifies the adjective "pressing".
Sense 1: used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs (e.g., more interesting).
Sense 2: comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent (e.g., he works more now).

In the sentence, "more" is used to form the comparative of the adjective "pressing" (more pressing).
Therefore, it matches Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"more pressing" -> comparative of "pressing".
Sense 1 definition: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs"
Sense 2 definition: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" (usually used as an adverb modifying a verb, or as a pronoun/determiner).

So the correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing <t>need</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a condition requiring relief | examples=she satisfied his need for affection
2. definition=anything that is necessary but lacking | examples=he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs
3. definition=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 | examples=we did not understand his motivation
4. definition=a state of extreme poverty or destitution | examples=their indigence appalled him

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing <t>need</t>."
The word is "need".
Senses:
1. a condition requiring relief (she satisfied his need for affection)
2. anything that is necessary but lacking (he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs)
3. the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action... (motivation)
4. a state of extreme poverty or destitution (indigence)

In the sentence, "a more pressing need" refers to something that is necessary but lacking, or a condition requiring relief. Wait, "a pressing need" usually means something that is necessary. Let's look at the options.
"anything that is necessary but lacking" -> "a pressing need" fits "anything that is necessary".
Wait, WordNet senses for "need":
1. need, demand (a condition requiring relief) "she satisfied his need for affection"; "demand"
2. need (anything that is necessary but lacking) "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs"; "there is a need for jobs"
Wait, let's check WordNet exact definitions.
Sense 1: need, demand (a condition requiring relief) "she satisfied his need for affection"; "there is a demand for jobs" -> wait, "need" as in "a condition requiring relief".
Sense 2: need (anything that is necessary but lacking) "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs"; "there is a need for jobs" - actually, "a pressing need" usually falls under Sense 2 (anything that is necessary but lacking) or Sense 1?
Let's search for "a more pressing need".
In WordNet:
need (noun)
1. need, demand - a condition requiring relief; "she satisfied his need for affection"; "there is a demand for jobs"
2. need - anything that is necessary but lacking; "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs"; "there is a need for jobs"
3. motivation, motive, need - 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; "we did not understand his motivation"; "he acted with the best of motives"
4. indigence, need, pauperism, penury, privation - a state of extreme poverty or destitution; "their indigence appalled him"; "a general state of need exists among the homeless"

Is "a pressing need" sense 1 or 2?
"a more pressing need" -> "anything that is necessary but lacking".
Let's consider "need" as "something necessary". "A policy ... would seem to be a more pressing need." Here, "need" means "something that is needed" (i.e., necessary but lacking). So Sense 2.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1: "a condition requiring relief". Example: "she satisfied his need for affection".
Sense 2: "anything that is necessary but lacking". Example: "he had sufficient means to meet his simple needs".
A "policy" is a thing, an object, an entity that is necessary. So it is "anything that is necessary but lacking". Thus, Sense 2.

Let's double check.
"A comprehensive development policy ... would seem to be a more pressing need."
"need" here means "something needed".
Sense 2: "anything that is necessary but lacking".
Therefore, 2.
Let's confirm if it could be 1. "A condition requiring relief". A policy is not a condition. A policy is a thing. So "anything that is necessary" fits perfectly.

Let's review the examples.
Sense 1: she satisfied his need for affection. (need for affection is a condition requiring relief).
Sense 2: meet his simple needs. (needs = things that are necessary).
In the sentence, the policy itself is the "need" (the thing that is necessary). So Sense 2.

I am confident it is 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is <t>extending</t> the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years."

I need to identify which sense of "extend" is used here.
The context is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. This means expanding the scope, range, or area of the educational system.

Let's look at the options:
1. extend in scope or range or area | examples=The law was extended to all citizens
2. stretch out over a distance, space, time, or scope; run or extend between two points or beyond a certain point | examples=Service runs all the way to Cranbury
3. span an interval of distance, space or time
4. make available; provide
5. thrust or extend out
6. reach outward in space
7. offer verbally
8. extend one's limbs
9. expand the influence of
10. lengthen in time
11. extend or stretch out to a greater or the full length
12. cause to move at full gallop
13. open or straighten out
14. use to the utmost
15. prolong the time allowed for payment
16. continue or extend
17. increase in quantity or bulk

Sense 1: "extend in scope or range or area" - extending the educational system down to pre-kindergarten fits perfectly. It expands the scope/range of the system.

Let's double check.
"extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years" -> expanding its scope to include younger children.
Sense 1 definition: extend in scope or range or area. Example: The law was extended to all citizens.
This matches perfectly.

Wait, could it be 2? "stretch out over a distance, space, time, or scope; run or extend between two points" - "Service runs all the way to Cranbury". This is more about physical or temporal stretching/running.
Sense 1 is about expanding the scope or range to include something new (like pre-kindergarten).

Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm.
"extending the educational system" -> expanding its scope.
Number 1.
End of thought.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational <t>system</t> down to the pre-kindergarten years."
The word is "system" in the context of "educational system".
Let's look at the senses:
1. instrumentality that combines interrelated interacting artifacts designed to work as a coherent entity (stereo system)
2. a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going) - wait, educational system fits here or maybe 4?
Wait, WordNet senses for "system":
1. instrumentality... (stereo system)
2. a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (system of production, educational system?) Let's check WordNet. "educational system" or "school system" is often under sense 2: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole". Or is it sense 4? "a complex of methods or rules governing behavior" (system of government, system of laws).
Let's consider "educational system" as a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole (schools, universities, etc.).
Wait, could it be 2? "a vast system of production..."
Let's check WordNet synsets for "system".
Synset 1: system (instrumentality that combines interrelated interacting artifacts designed to work as a coherent entity) "he bought a new stereo system"
Synset 2: system (a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole) "a vast system of production and distribution and consumption keep the country going"
Synset 3: system (physical chemistry)
Synset 4: system, scheme (a complex of methods or rules governing behavior) "they have to operate under a system they oppose"; "the political system"
Synset 5: system, arrangement (an organized structure for arranging or classifying)
Synset 6: system (a group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts)
Synset 7: system (a procedure or process for obtaining an objective)
Synset 8: system (the living body)
Synset 9: system (an ordered manner)

"Educational system" refers to the network of schools, colleges, etc. This is a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole. So sense 2.
Let's verify. Are there other options?
Sense 2: "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole". Examples usually include "school system", "educational system", "transportation system", "system of production".
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"educational system" -> system of schools.
Yes, sense 2.

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

Sentence: Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care <t>program</t>, not an educational program.

Senses:
1. definition=a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished | examples=they drew up a six-step plan

7. definition=(computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute | examples=the program required several hundred lines of code
8. definition=a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation | examples=the program lasted more than two hours

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care <t>program</t>, not an educational program."
The word is "program".
The context is "child-care program" and "educational program".
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished (plan)
2. a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need (public works, social programs, child-care programs)
3. a radio or television show
4. a document stating the aims and principles of a political party
5. an announcement of the events...
6. an integrated course of academic studies (university program)
7. computer science
8. a performance

"child-care program" refers to a system of services intended to meet a public need (or a social service).
Wait, "educational program" could be an integrated course of academic studies (sense 6), but "child-care program" is definitely a system of services (sense 2).
Let's check sense 2: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need" - examples: "he proposed an elaborate program of public works". Social programs, welfare programs, child-care programs fall under this.
Could it be 6? "an integrated course of academic studies". Child-care is not an academic study.
Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check WordNet senses for "program".
Sense 1: plan, program, programme (a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished)
Sense 2: program, programme (a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need) "he proposed an elaborate program of public works"; "she works in community programs" -> Wait, the example in WordNet for sense 2 might include something like "she works in community programs". "child-care program" fits "system of projects or services intended to meet a public need".
Sense 3: broadcast, program, programme
Sense 4: platform, program
Sense 5: program, programme
Sense 6: course of study, program, programme, curriculum, syllabus
Sense 7: program, programme, computer program
Sense 8: program, programme

Yes, "child-care program" is a system of services (Sense 2).

Let's confirm if it could be 1. "a series of steps..." No.
Let's confirm if it could be 2. "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need". Yes, child-care is a service.

I will return 2.

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

Sentence: Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an <t>educational</t> program.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to the process of education | examples=educational psychology
2. definition=providing knowledge | examples=an educational film

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an <t>educational</t> program."
The word "educational" is used to describe a program.
Sense 1: relating to the process of education (e.g., educational psychology)
Sense 2: providing knowledge (e.g., an educational film)

An "educational program" is a program that provides education/knowledge, but let's look at the contrast: "child-care program, not an educational program". Here, "educational" refers to the process of education (schooling, teaching) as opposed to just child-care.
Wait, "educational program" could mean "providing knowledge" or "relating to the process of education".
Let's check WordNet definitions for "educational":
1. relating to the process of education ("educational psychology")
2. providing knowledge ("an educational film")

In the context of "child-care program, not an educational program", it means a program relating to the process of education (i.e., a school or educational institution's program), rather than just babysitting.
Wait, an "educational film" provides knowledge. An "educational program" provides education. Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Actually, "educational" in "educational program" usually means "relating to education" or "providing education".
Let's consider "educational" as an adjective.
Sense 1: relating to the process of education. Examples: educational psychology, educational opportunities, educational program.
Sense 2: providing knowledge. Examples: an educational film, an educational experience.

"not an educational program" -> not a program relating to the process of education.
Wait, "educational program" is a standard collocation for Sense 1.
Let's search for "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."
This is a quote from somewhere. Probably a corpus example for WordNet.
Let's check the WordNet examples for sense 1: "educational psychology", "educational opportunities", "educational program"? No, the prompt gives examples: "educational psychology" for sense 1, "an educational film" for sense 2.
If it's contrasting with "child-care", it's about the *process* or *institution* of education. Child-care is a service, education is a process.
Therefore, Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"educational"
Adj:
1. educational (relating to the process of education) "educational psychology"
2. educational (providing knowledge) "an educational film"

"educational program" -> relates to the process of education.
I will output 1.

7. definition=(computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute | examples=the program required several hundred lines of code
8. definition=a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation | examples=the program lasted more than two hours

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational <t>program</t>."
The word "program" here refers to a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need (child-care program, educational program).
Let's check the senses:
1. a series of steps to be carried out...
2. a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need (e.g., public works, child-care program, educational program).
3. a radio or television show
4. a document stating the aims...
5. an announcement of events...
6. an integrated course of academic studies
7. computer science
8. a performance

Sense 2 fits best: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need". Child-care and educational programs are services intended to meet a public need.
Wait, could it be 6? "an integrated course of academic studies". "educational program" could be a course of studies, but "child-care program" is definitely a service. Sense 2 covers both as services/systems of projects.
Let's re-read Sense 2: "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need | examples=he proposed an elaborate program of public works".
WordNet synset for "program" (sense 2): "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need; 'he proposed an elaborate program of public works'; 'working mothers rely on the day care program'" -> matches "child-care program".
Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check.
"child-care program" -> day care program.
Yes, Sense 2.
Number: 2.

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "know" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "We <t>know</t> that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

Senses:
1. be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | I know that the President lied to the people
2. know how to do or perform something | She knows how to knit
3. be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt | I know that I left the key on the table

9. know the nature or character of | we all knew her as a big show-off
10. be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | The child knows right from wrong
11. perceive as familiar | I know this voice!

In the sentence, "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance..." refers to being cognizant or aware of a fact or specific piece of information (based on research/data).
Wait, Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about". Example: "I know that the President lied to the people".
Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". Example: "I know that I left the key on the table".

Let's look at the structure: "know that [clause]".
Both 1 and 3 take a "that" clause.
Sense 1 is about facts/information. "We know that [fact]".
Sense 3 is about truth/belief. "I know that [I did something]".
The sentence states a scientific/sociological fact: "that very early exposure to schooling improves performance...". This aligns perfectly with Sense 1 (aware of a fact or piece of information).

Let's double check WordNet senses for "know".
Sense 1: know, cognize, cognise (be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about) "I know that the President lied to the people"; "I want to know who is going to be there"
Sense 3: know (be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt) "I know that I left the key on the table"; "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun"

Wait, "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" is Sense 3? Let me check if "We know that very early exposure..." is Sense 1 or 3.
Actually, Sense 1 is "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information".
Let's consider the phrase "We know that...". It's stating a fact derived from studies.
Is it Sense 1? Yes, "possess knowledge or information about".

Let's review the examples.
Sense 1: I know that the President lied to the people.
Sense 3: I know that I left the key on the table.

"We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance..." -> this is a fact/piece of information. Sense 1.

Let's check if there's any ambiguity.
"know" as in "know a fact" -> Sense 1.
I will output 1.

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

Senses:
1. definition=used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | examples=she was very gifted
2. definition=precisely so | examples=on the very next page

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "We know that <t>very</t> early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
The word "very" modifies "early". "Very early" means "extremely early" or "really early".
Let's check the senses:
1. used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | examples=she was very gifted
2. precisely so | examples=on the very next page

In "very early", "very" is used as an intensifier (meaning extremely or really).
Sense 2 is "precisely so" as in "the very next page" or "the very same thing".
Therefore, sense 1 is correct.
Wait, "very early" -> intensifier.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: intensifier.
Sense 2: precisely so.
Clearly Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "We know that very <t>early</t> exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
The word "early" modifies "exposure to schooling".
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time (e.g., early morning)
2. being or occurring at an early stage of development (e.g., in an early stage)
3. belonging to the distant past (e.g., early inhabitants)
4. very young (e.g., at an early age)
5. of an early stage in the development of a language or literature
6. expected in the near future

Wait, "early exposure" - exposure happening at an early stage of a child's life or development, or near the beginning of a period of time.
Could it be 1 or 2 or 4?
"very early exposure" -> exposure at an early age? But "early" modifies "exposure", not "age".
"early exposure" usually means exposure at an early stage of development or near the beginning of a period.
Let's check WordNet senses for "early".
Sense 1: at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time. (early morning, early warning, early diagnosis, an early start, early retirement, early spring, early in the year)
Sense 2: being or occurring at an early stage of development. (early stage, early forms of life, early man, early in his career, early in the game, early in the century, early exposure) -> Wait, is "early exposure" an example for Sense 2?
Let's check WordNet:
"early" (adjective)
1. at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time; "early morning"; "an early warning"; "early diagnosis"; "an early start"; "early retirement"; "early spring"; "early in the year"
2. being or occurring at an early stage of development; "in an early stage"; "early forms of life"; "early man"; "an early computer"
Wait, does Sense 2 have "early exposure"?
Let's search my knowledge base for WordNet examples of "early".
Adj:
1. early (at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time) "early morning"; "an early warning"; "early diagnosis"; "an early start"; "early retirement"; "early spring"; "early in the year"
2. early (being or occurring at an early stage of development) "in an early stage"; "early forms of life"; "early man"; "an early computer"
Wait, what about "very early exposure"?
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Actually, "exposure to schooling" is an event. "early exposure" means exposure at an early stage of life/development, or early in the course of events.
Let's consider "early" as an adjective.
In WordNet 3.1:
early (at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time) "early morning"; "an early warning"; "early diagnosis"; "an early start"; "early retirement"; "early spring"; "early in the year"
early (being or occurring at an early stage of development) "in an early stage"; "early forms of life"; "early man"; "an early computer"
Wait, could it be Sense 1? "early exposure" -> "early" means happening before the usual time or near the beginning of a period.
Let's think if there's an exact match in the SemCor or WordNet examples.
"very early exposure to schooling"
Wait, if it's "early exposure", exposure is a noun.
Could it be 1? "at or near the beginning of a period of time..."
Let's look at Sense 1: "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time"
Sense 2: "being or occurring at an early stage of development"
"early exposure" is often used in the context of child development, meaning exposure at an early stage of development. But the definition 2 examples are "in an early stage", "early forms of life", "early man", "an early computer".
What about "early" in "early exposure"?
Wait, is "early" in "early exposure" considered Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Usually, "early" modifying an event like "exposure", "intervention", "detection" falls under Sense 1 (before the usual or expected time, or near the beginning of a course of events). "early diagnosis", "early warning", "early start". "early exposure" is similar to "early start" or "early intervention".
Let's check if there is an exact match for "early exposure" in WordNet. No, but "early diagnosis" is Sense 1.
"early exposure" -> near the beginning of a course of events (a child's life). So Sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time"
Sense 2: "being or occurring at an early stage of development"
If it's "early exposure to schooling", the exposure occurs at an early stage of the child's development. But "early" modifies "exposure", not the child. The exposure itself is not "at an early stage of development", the exposure *happens* early. So it's Sense 1.
Let's check Sense 1 again. "early start", "early diagnosis". Yes, "early exposure" fits perfectly with "early diagnosis" and "early start".
Let's double check.
"early" (adjective)
1. at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time
2. being or occurring at an early stage of development
3. belonging to the distant past
4. very young
5. of an early stage in the development of a language or literature
6. expected in the near future

I will bet on Sense 1 because "exposure" is an event, and events happening near the beginning of a period of time or before the usual time are Sense 1. "early diagnosis", "early warning", "early start".
Wait, could it be 2? "early forms of life" (forms of life at an early stage of development). "early man" (man at an early stage of development). "early computer" (computer at an early stage of development). "early exposure" is not an exposure at an early stage of its own development, but an exposure that happens early in time. Thus, 1.

Let's review the sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade..."
"early" here means happening at a young age or near the beginning of the child's life.
Sense 1: "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time"
Sense 4: "very young" - "at an early age". But here it's "early exposure", not "early age". "early" modifies "exposure", not a person. So it's not 4.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will return 1.

The word "schooling" refers to the process of being formally educated at a school (early exposure to formal education/schooling).
Let's check the senses:
1. the act of teaching at school
2. the process of being formally educated at a school
3. the training of an animal

"exposure to schooling" means exposure to the process of being formally educated. Sense 2.

Wait, is "schooling" here the act of teaching or the process of being educated? "exposure to schooling" -> experiencing education. So it's the process of being formally educated. Sense 2.
Let's double check. WordNet:
schooling:
1. schooling, school (the process of being formally educated at a school) "what will you do when you finish school?"
2. schooling (the act of teaching at school)
3. training, schooling (the training of an animal (especially the training of a horse for dressage))

The word is "improves".
Sense 1: to make better (transitive). Example: The editor improved the manuscript...
Sense 2: get better (intransitive). Example: The weather improved...

In the sentence, "exposure to schooling" (subject) "improves" (verb) "performance" (object).
This is a transitive use, meaning "to make better".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves <t>performance</t> in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
The word "performance" refers to how well a student does in school (academic performance).
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. dramatic or musical entertainment - No.
2. act of presenting a play or music - No.
3. the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it - Maybe, but usually refers to executing a task or role (e.g., performance as mayor).
4. any recognized accomplishment - "they admired his performance under stress". Academic performance could be seen as accomplishment or execution. Wait, let's look at WordNet senses for "performance".
WordNet senses for performance:
1. performance (a dramatic or musical entertainment) "they listened to ten different performances"; "the play ran for 100 performances"
2. performance, executing, execution (the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it) "they criticised his performance as mayor"; "experience generally improves performance"
3. performance (any recognized accomplishment) "they admired his performance under stress"; "when the marquis made his entrance it was a performance that drew gasps from the audience"

5. operation, performance, functioning (process or manner of functioning or operating) "the power of its engine determines its operation"; "the jet's performance conformed to high standards"

Wait, "improves performance in the first grade" - academic performance.
Which sense fits best?
Sense 2: "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it" -> "experience generally improves performance". This matches "exposure to schooling improves performance".
Wait, let's check Sense 3 vs Sense 2. In the prompt:
Sense 2: definition=the act of presenting a play... (Prompt's sense 2)
Sense 3: definition=the act of performing; of doing something successfully... (Prompt's sense 3)
Sense 4: definition=any recognized accomplishment... (Prompt's sense 4)
Sense 5: definition=process or manner of functioning... (Prompt's sense 5)

Let's look at the example for Sense 3 in the prompt: "they criticised his performance as mayor".
Wait, the example "experience generally improves performance" is from WordNet sense 2 (which is prompt's sense 3).
"exposure to schooling improves performance" is very similar to "experience generally improves performance".
Therefore, prompt's sense 3 is the correct one.

Let me double check WordNet.
WordNet 3.1:
S: (n) performance (a dramatic or musical entertainment) "they listened to ten different performances"; "the play ran for 100 performances"; "the older students enjoyed the performance"
S: (n) performance, executing, execution (the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it) "they criticised his performance as mayor"; "experience generally improves performance"
S: (n) performance (any recognized accomplishment) "they admired his performance under stress"; "when the marquis made his entrance it was a performance that drew gasps from the audience"
S: (n) performance (the act of presenting a play or a piece of music or other entertainment) "we congratulated him on his performance at the rehearsal"; "the second movement was a performance of great delicacy"
S: (n) operation, performance, functioning (process or manner of functioning or operating) "the power of its engine determines its operation"; "the jet's performance conformed to high standards"

Prompt's ordering:
1. a dramatic or musical entertainment
2. the act of presenting a play...
3. the act of performing; of doing something successfully...
4. any recognized accomplishment
5. process or manner of functioning...

"improves performance in the first grade" -> doing something successfully, using knowledge. This maps to Sense 3.

4. definition=serving to begin | examples=the beginning canto of the poem
5. definition=ranking above all others | examples=was first in her class
6. definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
The word "first" is used in "first grade".
"first grade" refers to the beginning unit in a series of grades (first grade, second grade, third grade, etc.).
Let's check the senses:
1. preceding all others in time or space or degree
2. indicating the beginning unit in a series
3. serving to set in motion
4. serving to begin
5. ranking above all others
6. highest in pitch...

"first grade" fits "indicating the beginning unit in a series" (sense 2). Wait, could it be 1? "first house on the right" is space. "first grade" is the first in a series of school grades.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "first":
1. first (preceding all others in time or space or degree) "the first house on the right"; "the first day of spring"; "his first political race"; "her first baby"; "the first time"; "the first meetings of the new party"; "the first phase of his training"
2. first (indicating the beginning unit in a series) "first base"
3. inaugural, maiden, initiative, initiatory, first (serving to set in motion) "the magazine's inaugural issue"; "the initiative voyage"; "the initiative meeting"; "the maiden voyage of the ship"
4. beginning, first (serving to begin) "the beginning canto of the poem"; "the first verse"
5. first, number one, premier (ranking above all others) "was first in her class"
6. first (highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections) "first soprano"; "the first violin section"; "played first horn"

In WordNet, "first base" is an example for sense 2. "first grade" is also the beginning unit in a series (grades 1-12).
Wait, "first" in "first grade" could also just be sense 2. Let's verify.
Actually, sense 2 is "indicating the beginning unit in a series". Examples: first base.
Sense 1 is "preceding all others in time or space or degree".
Is "first grade" sense 2? Yes, grade 1, grade 2, etc. It's a series.
Let's double check if there's any other fit. "first grade" -> beginning unit in a series.
I will return 2.
Wait, let's think if WordNet has "first grade" under sense 2.
"first" (indicating the beginning unit in a series) "first base"
What about "first" in "first class"?
I am confident it is 2.
Let me reconsider 1 vs 2. "first grade" is the first in the series of grades.
Yes, 2.

Wait, none of the senses perfectly match "a level of schooling" except maybe sense 1? "a body of students who are taught together" -> "early morning classes are always sleepy" (this is "class"). Wait, WordNet sense for grade:
grade, level, tier (a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality)
grade, class, form (a body of students who are taught together) -> "early morning classes are always sleepy" - wait, the example is for "class", but the synset is {class, form, grade, course}.
Let's check WordNet synsets for "grade":
1. class, form, grade, course: a body of students who are taught together.
2. grade, level, tier: a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality.
3. grade, mark, score: a number or letter indicating quality (especially of a student's performance).
4. grade: the gradient of a slope or road or other surface.
5. degree, grade, level, position: a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality (wait, 8 is this one).
6. grade: one-hundredth of a right angle.
7. gradation, grade: a degree of ablaut.
8. grade: a variety of cattle...
9. grade: the height of the ground...

In the sentence, "first grade" refers to the first year of school, which is a group of students or a level. In WordNet, "first grade" usually falls under the synset `class, form, grade, course` (a body of students who are taught together) or maybe it's considered a level. But "first grade" means the first year of elementary school.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "a body of students who are taught together | examples=early morning classes are always sleepy". The synset is {class, form, grade, course}.
Is "first grade" a body of students? Yes, "he is in the first grade".
Let's check if there's any other sense. "a number or letter indicating quality" (sense 6) - no, that's school grades (A, B, C).
So it must be sense 1.

Wait, is "first grade" a "class, form, grade, course"? Yes, in WordNet, the synset `class, form, grade, course` has the definition "a body of students who are taught together". Examples: "early morning classes are always sleepy".
Therefore, sense 1 is the correct match.

Let's double check.
Sentence: "...improves performance in the first grade..."
Could it be "level"? There is no "level" sense for school grade in the options except 8 "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality", which doesn't fit school grade.
Thus, sense 1 is the intended answer.
The number is 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of being unlike or dissimilar | examples=there are many differences between jazz and rock
2. definition=a variation that deviates from the standard or norm | examples=the deviation from the mean
3. definition=a disagreement or argument about something important | examples=he had a dispute with his wife
4. definition=a significant change | examples=the difference in her is amazing
5. definition=the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the <t>difference</t> is quickly washed away."
The word is "difference".
The context is about the difference in performance (improvement) between those with early exposure and those without, which is a change or an effect, or the quality of being unlike. Wait, "the difference is quickly washed away" implies the gap in performance, the change in performance, or the dissimilarity.
Let's look at the senses:
1. the quality of being unlike or dissimilar (e.g., differences between jazz and rock)
2. a variation that deviates from the standard or norm (e.g., deviation from the mean)
3. a disagreement or argument
4. a significant change (e.g., the difference in her is amazing)
5. the number that remains after subtraction

Actually, "the difference is quickly washed away" refers to the gap or the dissimilarity between the two groups (those with early exposure and those without). Or does it mean "a significant change"? "improves performance... but afterward the difference is quickly washed away" -> the difference in performance between the two groups. This is the quality of being unlike or dissimilar (Sense 1).
Wait, could it be Sense 1 or Sense 4?
Sense 1: the quality of being unlike or dissimilar. "there are many differences between jazz and rock"
Sense 4: a significant change. "the difference in her is amazing"

In the sentence, "difference" refers to the gap in performance between the two groups (early exposure vs. no early exposure). This gap is a dissimilarity. So Sense 1.
Let's double check WordNet.
WordNet senses for "difference":
1. difference, difference of opinion, dispute, difference of opinion (a disagreement or argument about something important) -> Sense 3
Wait, WordNet noun senses for difference:
1. difference (the quality of being unlike or dissimilar) "there are many differences between jazz and rock"
2. deviation, difference, departure, divergence (a variation that deviates from the standard or norm) "the deviation from the mean"
3. dispute, difference, difference of opinion, conflict (a disagreement or argument about something important) "he had a dispute with his wife"; "the irreconcilable differences between the parties"
4. difference (a significant change) "the difference in her is amazing"
5. remainder, difference (the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend)

In the sentence, "the difference is quickly washed away". The difference refers to the disparity or gap between the two groups. This corresponds to Sense 1 (the quality of being unlike or dissimilar, or a point of dissimilarity).
Wait, "gap" or "disparity" is often mapped to Sense 1.
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 4. Sense 4 is "a significant change" as in "what a difference a day makes" or "the difference in her is amazing" (she changed). Here, it's not a change in a single entity over time, but the difference between two groups (the treated and control groups) which diminishes over time. So it's the dissimilarity between the groups. Sense 1.

Let's read the sentence again: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
The "difference" is the difference in performance between the exposed and unexposed children. This is a dissimilarity. Sense 1.

Is there any chance it's Sense 2? "deviation from the standard or norm". No.
Sense 5? "the number that remains after subtraction". While it's a numerical difference, the sense "quality of being unlike or dissimilar" encompasses "a point of dissimilarity" or "a distinguishing characteristic" or "the state of being different". In WordNet, "gap" or "disparity" between two groups falls under Sense 1.

Let's confirm Sense 1.
"the quality of being unlike or dissimilar"
Examples: "there are many differences between jazz and rock"

Yes, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Another example from WordNet for Sense 1: "the difference between them is..."
I will output 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=with rapid movements | examples=he works quickly
2. definition=with little or no delay | examples=the rescue squad arrived promptly
3. definition=without taking pains | examples=he looked cursorily through the magazine

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."
The word is "quickly".
Senses:
1. with rapid movements (he works quickly)
2. with little or no delay (the rescue squad arrived promptly)
3. without taking pains (he looked cursorily through the magazine)

In the sentence, "the difference is quickly washed away" means the difference disappears with little or no delay, or in a short time.
Sense 2: "with little or no delay" fits best. It's about time passing before the difference is washed away.
Sense 1 is about physical rapid movements.
Sense 3 is about doing something without taking pains (cursorily).

Let's check WordNet senses for "quickly":
1. quickly, rapidly (with rapid movements) "he works quickly"
2. promptly, quickly (with little or no delay) "the rescue squad arrived promptly"
3. cursorily, quickly (without taking pains) "he looked cursorily through the magazine"

"the difference is quickly washed away" -> in a short time, without much delay. Sense 2.

Let me double check. If something happens "quickly" in terms of time elapsing before an event, it's sense 2 (with little or no delay / promptly / soon).
Example: "the rescue squad arrived promptly" -> they arrived with little delay.
"difference is quickly washed away" -> it is washed away with little delay.

Therefore, Sense 2.
Number: 2.
Return only the number.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Let us sum up what we do know about <t>education</t> and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."
The word "education" here refers to the general concept of educating, the activities of educating or instructing, or the system/process of education.
Looking at the senses:
1. the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill
2. knowledge acquired by learning and instruction
3. the gradual process of acquiring knowledge
4. the profession of teaching
5. the result of good upbringing
6. the US federal department

"education and about those education reforms" -> refers to the system or activities of educating.
Sense 1: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill" - fits "education reforms".
Wait, sense 1 vs sense 3. Sense 1 is often used for the system or the activities (e.g., formal education, education reforms).
Let's check WordNet senses for "education".
Sense 1: education, instruction, teaching, pedagogy, didactics, educational activity (the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill) "he received no formal education"; "our education was a good grounding in the basics"
Sense 2: education (knowledge acquired by learning and instruction) "it was clear that he had a very broad education"

In the sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms..."
"education reforms" implies reforms to the system of teaching/instructing. Thus, Sense 1 (educational activity, teaching, instruction).
Let's double check. Sense 1 is "the activities of educating or instructing".
Sense 3 is "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge".
Usually, "education" as a field or system (like "education reforms", "department of education", "formal education") falls under Sense 1.
I will choose Sense 1.

The sentence is: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those <t>education</t> reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."
The word marked is "education" in the phrase "education reforms".
Wait, the sense of "education" in "education reforms" refers to the activities of educating or instructing, or the profession of teaching, or the system of education.
Let's look at the options:
1. the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill
2. knowledge acquired by learning and instruction
3. the gradual process of acquiring knowledge
4. the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)
5. the result of good upbringing
6. the United States federal department...

In "education reforms", "education" acts as a noun adjunct referring to the system or activities of educating.
Wait, "education" in WordNet:
Sense 1: education, instruction, teaching, pedagogy, didactics, educational activity (the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill) -> "he received no formal education"
Sense 2: education (knowledge acquired by learning and instruction) -> "it was clear that he had a very broad education"
Sense 3: education (the gradual process of acquiring knowledge) -> "education is a preparation for life"
Sense 4: education (the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university))

"education reforms" -> reforms of the educational system / activities of educating.
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 4?
Usually, "education" as an institution or system falls under Sense 1 (the activities of educating).
Let's check WordNet examples for Sense 1: "he received no formal education".
What about "education reforms"? It modifies reforms. The activities of educating.
Could it be 1? Yes.

Wait, looking at Sense 1: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill".
Sense 4: "the profession of teaching".
"education reforms" typically refers to reforms in the system of education, which relates to the activities of educating (Sense 1).

Let's double check if there's any other sense.
1 is the most general and fits "education reforms" (reforms in the activities/system of educating).

Let's consider "education" in "what we do know about education". This is also Sense 1 or 3. But the marked word is the second "education" in "those <t>education</t> reforms".
Actually, both refer to the same concept. The system/activity of education. Sense 1.

Let's confirm the definitions.
1: the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill
2: knowledge acquired by learning and instruction
3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge
4: the profession of teaching
5: the result of good upbringing
6: the US federal department

"education reforms" -> reforms of the activities of educating. Sense 1.

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

Sentence: Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education <t>reforms</t> that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea.

Senses:
1. definition=a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses | examples=justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts
2. definition=a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices | examples=the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians
3. definition=self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice | examples=the family rejoiced in the drunkard's reform

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education <t>reforms</t> that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."
The word is "reforms".
Sense 1: a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses.
Sense 2: a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices.
Sense 3: self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice.

"education reforms" refers to changes made to the education system to improve it (correcting abuses or inefficiencies).
Wait, "reforms" here means changes for the better, or campaigns?
"those education reforms that do work and do not work" -> changes for the better (or intended to be for the better) as a result of correcting abuses.
Let's look at Sense 1: "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses"
Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices"
"reforms" as in policy changes. "education reforms" usually means changes in policy or practice. So Sense 1 is a better fit than Sense 2 (campaign).

Let's check WordNet definitions.
reform (noun)
1. reform: a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses; "justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts"
2. crusade, drive, movement, campaign, cause, effort, reform: a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end; "he supported populist reforms"; "the movement for equal rights"; "the crusade against nuclear proliferation" -> Wait, the sense 2 here is "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices".
Actually, WordNet noun senses for reform:
1. reform (a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses) "justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts"
2. reform (a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices) "the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians"
3. reform (self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice) "the family rejoiced in the drunkard's reform"

In the sentence: "those education reforms that do work and do not work".
Does it mean the changes (Sense 1) or the campaigns (Sense 2)?
Usually, "education reforms" refers to the changes themselves. "Reforms that do work" -> the changes that are effective.
Therefore, Sense 1.

Wait, looking at Sense 2 example: "the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians". Here "reforms" refers to the proposed changes/policies.
But Sense 1 example: "reform of the law courts".
Let's consider "education reforms". It's plural. "changes for the better".
Could it be Sense 1? Yes.
Let's double check. Sense 1 is "a change for the better...". Sense 2 is "a campaign...".
"reforms that do work" -> the changes work. A campaign doesn't "work" in the same way a policy change does, or maybe it does, but "change" is more direct.
I will output 1.
Actually, in WordNet, "reform" as "a change for the better" is the most common sense for policy reforms.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's re-read Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices". "the reforms he proposed..."
Sense 1: "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses".
I'll go with 1.
Another thought: "education reforms" -> changes in the education system. So 1.
I am confident in 1.
Let me check if 1 is definitely the right one. Yes.
Result: 1.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "work" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do <t>work</t> and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea."

Context: "...education reforms that do work and do not work..."
Meaning: Reforms that are effective, have the desired effect, or are successful.

Let's look at the senses:
1. exert oneself...
2. be employed
3. have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected | examples=The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought
4. perform as expected when applied | examples=The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in
...

Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought". This fits "reforms that do work" (have the desired effect/outcome).
Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied" usually refers to machines or devices.

Let's check Sense 3 again. "reforms that work" -> have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected.
Yes, Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"education reforms that do work" -> they are effective.
Sense 3: have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected.

Therefore, the number is 3.
There is no ambiguity.

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "work" in the given sentence.
Sentence: Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not <t>work</t>: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea.

The word "work" here means "to be effective" or "to have the desired effect".
Let's look at the options:
1. exert oneself...
2. be employed
3. have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected | examples=The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought
4. perform as expected when applied (usually for machines/devices)
...

Sense 3 fits best: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Education reforms that "work" (are effective/have the desired outcome).

Let's double check.
"reforms that do work and do not work" -> reforms that are effective and not effective.
Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"
Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied" (The washing machine won't go...) - usually for machines.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct one.
Number: 3.
Action: Return only the number.
End of thought.
