8. call to remembrance; keep alive the memory of someone or something, as in a ceremony (e.g., We remembered the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz)

In the sentence, "we all can remember one or two truly inspiring teachers from our school days", it means recalling knowledge from memory, having a recollection of those teachers.
Wait, let's distinguish between 1 and 3.
Sense 1: recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection.
Sense 3: recapture the past; indulge in memories.
"remember one or two truly inspiring teachers" -> recall knowledge from memory.
Let's check WordNet for "remember".
Sense 1: recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection. "I can't remember saying any such thing"
Sense 3: recapture the past; indulge in memories. "he remembered how he used to pick flowers"
Wait, "remember one or two truly inspiring teachers" is recalling a specific fact/person from memory.
Is it sense 1? Yes, "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection".

Let's read the sentence again: "Yes, we all can remember one or two truly inspiring teachers from our school days."
This is recalling a specific memory or knowledge.
Sense 1 fits best.

Let's double check.
"recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection" -> "remember one or two truly inspiring teachers"

2. definition=by right | examples=baseball rightfully is the nation's pastime
3. definition=with sincerity; without pretense | examples=she praised him sincerely for his victory
4. definition=in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers) | examples=in truth, moral decay hastened the decline of the Roman Empire

In the sentence, "truly" is used as an intensifier modifying "inspiring". It means "in fact" or "really" or "genuinely" in an intensifying way.
Let's check the senses.
Sense 1: in accordance with truth or fact or reality. (e.g., truly American)
Sense 4: in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers). (e.g., in truth, moral decay...)

Wait, "truly inspiring" means "really inspiring" or "genuinely inspiring".
Is it sense 1 or sense 4?
Let's look at WordNet senses for "truly".
WordNet senses for "truly":
1. in accordance with truth or fact or reality; "she was now truly American"
2. by right; "baseball rightfully is the nation's pastime"
3. with sincerity; without pretense; "she praised him sincerely for his victory"
4. in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers); "in truth, moral decay hastened the decline of the Roman Empire"

"truly inspiring" -> "in fact" (used as intensifier).
Let's see: "truly" as an intensifier. "truly inspiring" = "in fact inspiring" or "really inspiring".
Sense 4 explicitly says "used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers".
"truly" in "truly inspiring" is an intensifier.
Therefore, sense 4 is the best match.

Let's double check.
"truly inspiring" -> intensifier.
Sense 4: "in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers)"
Yes, sense 4.
Let's review the options.
1. in accordance with truth or fact or reality
4. in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers)

"truly" modifying "inspiring" is an intensifier.
So 4 is the correct sense.
I will return 4.

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

Sentence: But our <t>education</t> proceeded at the hands of those others, who were merely competent and conscientious.

Senses:
1. definition=the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill | examples=he received no formal education
2. definition=knowledge acquired by learning and instruction | examples=it was clear that he had a very broad education

Let's look at the senses:

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 United States federal department

In the sentence, "our education proceeded at the hands of those others", "education" refers to the process or activities of educating or instructing them. "Proceeded at the hands of" implies an ongoing activity or process of being taught.
Wait, let's distinguish between 1 and 3.
Sense 1: the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill.
Sense 3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge.

"our education proceeded at the hands of those others" -> the activities of educating or instructing us proceeded at the hands of those others.
Let's check WordNet for "education".
Sense 1: the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill. "he received no formal education"
Sense 2: knowledge acquired by learning and instruction. "it was clear that he had a very broad education"
Sense 3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge. "education is a preparation for life"

"our education proceeded at the hands of those others" -> the activities of educating or instructing. The "hands of those others" implies the agents doing the educating. So it's the activities of educating or instructing.
Let's see: "proceeded at the hands of" -> the activities of educating.
Therefore, Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"our education proceeded at the hands of those others"
If it were sense 3, "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge proceeded at the hands of those others" - a bit awkward, since acquiring knowledge is done by the learner, not "at the hands of" the teacher. The activities of educating or instructing are done by the teacher ("at the hands of those others").
So Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's review the options.
1. definition=the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill
2. definition=knowledge acquired by learning and instruction
3. definition=the gradual process of acquiring knowledge
4. definition=the profession of teaching

Senses:
1. continue talking
2. move ahead; travel onward in time or space
3. follow a procedure or take a course
4. follow a certain course
5. continue a certain state, condition, or activity

Let's look at the sentence: "our education proceeded at the hands of those others"
This means the education continued or went on, or followed a certain course.
Wait, "proceeded" in the context of "education proceeded" means it continued or went on.
Let's check the senses.
Sense 5: continue a certain state, condition, or activity. "Keep on working!"
Sense 4: follow a certain course. "The inauguration went well"
Sense 3: follow a procedure or take a course. "We should go farther in this matter"
Sense 2: move ahead; travel onward in time or space. "We proceeded towards Washington"

Let's look at WordNet senses for "proceed":
1. continue talking (e.g., "he continued")
2. move ahead; travel onward in time or space (e.g., "We proceeded towards Washington")
3. follow a procedure or take a course (e.g., "We should go farther in this matter")
4. follow a certain course (e.g., "The inauguration went well")
5. continue a certain state, condition, or activity (e.g., "Keep on working!")

In the sentence, "our education proceeded at the hands of those others", it means the education continued or went on.
Is it sense 5? "continue a certain state, condition, or activity"
Or sense 4? "follow a certain course"
Let's search for "proceeded at the hands of".
Actually, "proceed" meaning "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" fits "our education proceeded".
Wait, let's consider "proceed" as "continue a certain state, condition, or activity".
Let's check WordNet:
proceed
1. continue talking (e.g., "he continued")
2. move ahead; travel onward in time or space (e.g., "We proceeded towards Washington")
3. follow a procedure or take a course (e.g., "We should go farther in this matter")
4. follow a certain course (e.g., "The inauguration went well")
5. continue a certain state, condition, or activity (e.g., "Keep on working!")

"our education proceeded" -> the education continued.
Let's see: "proceed" in the sense of "continue a certain state, condition, or activity".
Wait, could it be 5?
Let's check the examples. "Keep on working!" -> continue a certain state, condition, or activity.
"our education proceeded" -> our education continued.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"proceed" meaning "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" is often used for processes or activities continuing. Education is an activity.
Let's consider "follow a certain course" (4). "The inauguration went well".
"our education proceeded at the hands of those others" -> it continued.
I will guess 5.

Let's rethink: "proceed" in WordNet:
Sense 1: continue talking
Sense 2: move ahead; travel onward in time or space
Sense 3: follow a procedure or take a course
Sense 4: follow a certain course
Sense 5: continue a certain state, condition, or activity

"our education proceeded" -> continued.
Let's search for "our education proceeded at the hands of those others". This is from a text, maybe "The Education of Henry Adams" or similar? No, "But our education proceeded at the hands of those others, who were merely competent and conscientious."
Actually, it might be from a specific corpus (like SemCor or similar).
In SemCor, "proceeded" might be tagged.
Let's look at the senses again.
Sense 5: continue a certain state, condition, or activity.
"our education proceeded" = our education continued.
I'll go with 5.
Wait, let's look at Sense 5: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity".
Is "education" an activity? Yes.
Does "proceeded" mean "continued" here? Yes.
I will output 5.
Let's double check if 4 is better. "follow a certain course". "The inauguration went well". "Our education went well"? No, "proceeded at the hands of those others" means it was carried on by them, i.e., continued.
So 5 is the most appropriate.
Let's consider "proceed" as in "continue".
Yes, 5.
I will return 5.

Sentence: "But our education proceeded at the hands of those others, who were merely <t>competent</t> and conscientious."

Senses:
1. properly or sufficiently qualified or capable or efficient (e.g., a competent typist)
2. adequate for the purpose (e.g., a competent performance)
3. legally qualified or sufficient (e.g., a competent court)

In the sentence, "competent" describes people ("those others") who were teaching or providing education. They were "merely competent and conscientious". This refers to their capability, qualification, or efficiency as teachers/educators.
Sense 1: "properly or sufficiently qualified or capable or efficient" fits perfectly for describing people (teachers).
Sense 2: "adequate for the purpose" is more for things like performances, though it can apply to people, but Sense 1 is the primary sense for people being capable/qualified.
Sense 3: "legally qualified" does not fit.

Let's look at the distinction between 1 and 2.
Sense 1: "properly or sufficiently qualified or capable or efficient" -> applies to people (a competent typist, competent teachers).
Sense 2: "adequate for the purpose" -> applies to things (a competent performance).

The sentence refers to "those others, who were merely competent and conscientious." "Who" refers to people. Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"competent" meaning capable, qualified.
Sense 1: properly or sufficiently qualified or capable or efficient.
Yes, Sense 1.

In the sentence "In this sense, a teacher can be compared to one's family doctor.", "sense" refers to the way the situation or comparison is interpreted or understood. It means "in this meaning" or "in this interpretation".
This matches sense 2: "the meaning of a word or expression; the way in which a word or expression or situation can be interpreted".

"In this sense" -> in this meaning / in this interpretation.
Sense 2 fits perfectly.

In the sentence, "a teacher" is compared to "one's family doctor". A family doctor is a person whose occupation is medicine. Therefore, "teacher" here refers to a person whose occupation is teaching.
Sense 1 matches this.
Sense 2 is for personified abstractions (like books).

4. to form the comparative or superlative form on an adjective or adverb

In the sentence, "a teacher can be compared to one's family doctor", it means considering or describing the teacher as similar or analogous to a family doctor.
Sense 3: "consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous" fits perfectly. "We can compare the Han dynasty to the Romans" is similar to "a teacher can be compared to one's family doctor".

Let's check Sense 1: "examine and note the similarities or differences of". This is more active, like "John compared his haircut to his friend's".
Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"compare A to B" -> consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous.
Yes, Sense 3.

2. definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one

Wait, "one's" in this context means "a person's" or "any person's".
Let's re-read the senses.
Sense 1: the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number.
Sense 2: a single person or thing.

Wait, is "one" here a pronoun meaning "a person"?
Let's check the senses again.
Sense 1: the smallest whole number...
Sense 2: a single person or thing.

Actually, "one's" is the possessive of the pronoun "one", which means "a person" or "any person".
Does Sense 2 cover "a single person or thing"? Yes, "a single person".
Let's see: "a teacher can be compared to one's family doctor." Here "one" refers to a person (any person).
So Sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"one's family doctor" -> the family doctor of a person.
Sense 2: "a single person or thing".
Sense 1: "the smallest whole number".
Clearly, it's not the number 1. It's a person.
Therefore, Sense 2.

3. characterized by grandeur
4. having striking color

Wait, "probably" means "with considerable certainty; without much doubt".
Sense 1: with considerable certainty; without much doubt.
Sense 2: easy to believe on the basis of available evidence (this seems like "plausibly", but the word is "probably"? Wait, the example says "he talked plausibly before the committee", which is weird for "probably", but maybe it's a WordNet sense for "probably" or "plausibly"? Actually, WordNet has "probably" as an adverb: "with considerable certainty; without much doubt".
Let's check the sentence: "he probably would not be a family doctor". This means "with considerable certainty; without much doubt".
So sense 1 is the correct one.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: with considerable certainty; without much doubt.
Sentence: If he were brilliant, he probably would not be a family doctor in the first place.

The sentence is: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind <t>spreading</t>, for their own narrow purposes."
The word is "spreading".
The object of spreading is "libel" (a false statement that damages a person's reputation).
So they are spreading libel, which means they are distributing or disseminating it, or causing it to become widely known.
Let's look at the senses:
1. distribute or disperse widely (The invaders spread their language all over the country)
2. become distributed or widespread (the infection spread)
3. spread across or over (A big oil spot spread across the water)
4. spread out or open from a closed or folded state (open the map)

8. move outward (The soldiers fanned out)

"spreading libel" -> causing libel to become widely known, or distributing it widely.
Wait, "spread information" is sense 5. "spread libel" is very similar to "spread information" or "spread rumors".
Let's check sense 1: distribute or disperse widely.
Let's check sense 5: cause to become widely known.
Is "libel" information? Yes, false information.
Wait, "spread" in the sense of "spread information" or "spread rumors" is often sense 5.
Let's see: "cause to become widely known" -> "spread information".
"spread libel" -> cause libel to become widely known.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "spread":
1. distribute or disperse widely (spread the news)
Wait, WordNet sense 1: distribute or disperse widely. "The invaders spread their language all over the country."
WordNet sense 5: cause to become widely known. "spread information"
Let's check WordNet for "spread":
v 1: distribute or disperse widely; "The invaders spread their language all over the country"
v 2: become distributed or widespread; "The infection spread"
v 3: spread across or over; "A big oil spot spread across the water"
v 4: spread out or open from a closed or folded state; "open the map"

v 8: move outward; "The soldiers fanned out"
v 9: cover by spreading something over; "spread the bread with cheese"
v 10: distribute over a surface in a layer; "spread cheese on a piece of bread"

In the sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading, for their own narrow purposes."
They are spreading libel. Libel is a type of information or rumor.
Is it sense 1 or sense 5?
"spread information" is sense 5.
"spread libel" is causing libel to become widely known.
Let's search for "spread libel" or "spread information".
"cause to become widely known" fits "spreading libel" perfectly, as libel is a statement (information) that is spread to damage reputation.
Wait, let's look at the example for sense 5: "spread information".
Libel is a form of information (false statement).
Let's consider sense 1: "distribute or disperse widely". Example: "The invaders spread their language all over the country".
Sense 5: "cause to become widely known". Example: "spread information".
Spreading libel is definitely causing it to become widely known.
Let's choose 5.
Wait, could it be 1? "distribute or disperse widely".
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
WordNet 3.1:
spread (v)
1. distribute or disperse widely; "The invaders spread their language all over the country"
2. become distributed or widespread; "The infection spread"
3. spread across or over; "A big oil spot spread across the water"
4. spread out or open from a closed or folded state; "open the map"
5. cause to become widely known; "spread information"
6. become widely known and passed on; "the rumor spread"
7. strew or distribute over an area; "He spread fertilizer over the lawn"
8. move outward; "The soldiers fanned out"
9. cover by spreading something over; "spread the bread with cheese"
10. distribute over a surface in a layer; "spread cheese on a piece of bread"

"spreading libel" -> libel is information. So sense 5 is the best match.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"spread rumors" is often sense 5 or 6. Since it's transitive ("unions do not mind spreading"), it must be a transitive sense. Sense 5 is transitive ("cause to become widely known"). Sense 6 is intransitive ("the rumor spread").
So it has to be 5.
Let's review the sentence: "It is the kind of libel the teachers' unions do not mind spreading, for their own narrow purposes."
Transitive verb. Object: libel.
Sense 5: cause to become widely known.
Yes, 5 is the correct sense.
I will return 5.
