The word "helps" here means "contribute to the furtherance of" or "be of use" or "give help or assistance". Let's look at the options.
1. give help or assistance; be of service
2. improve the condition of
3. be of use
4. abstain from doing
5. help to some food
6. contribute to the furtherance of
7. take or use
8. improve; change for the better

Wait, "helps them strike a friendly posture" -> "helps" + object + infinitive.
Let's check WordNet senses for "help".
Sense 1: give help or assistance; be of service. "Everyone helped out during the earthquake"
Sense 3: be of use. "This will help to prevent accidents"
Sense 6: contribute to the furtherance of. "This money will help the development of literacy in developing countries"

Wait, "helps them strike a friendly posture" -> "helps" + object + verb.
Is it sense 1? "give help or assistance; be of service"
Let's see: "helps them strike" -> helps them to strike.
In WordNet, "help" (verb)
1. give help or assistance; be of service
2. improve the condition of
3. be of use
4. abstain from doing
5. help to some food
6. contribute to the furtherance of
7. take or use
8. improve; change for the better

Wait, "helps them strike" -> "help" + object + bare infinitive.
Sense 1: give help or assistance; be of service.
Let's search for "helps them strike" or similar.
Actually, "help" + object + infinitive is often Sense 1.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "Everyone helped out during the earthquake"
Wait, maybe Sense 1 is the best fit. "give help or assistance; be of service"
Let's consider Sense 3: "be of use". Example: "This will help to prevent accidents".
In the sentence: "it helps them strike a friendly posture". "it" is the subject, "them" is the object, "strike" is the verb.
Does it mean "contribute to the furtherance of"? No, that's usually "help the development of".
Does it mean "be of use"? "This will help to prevent accidents" -> "help to prevent".
"helps them strike" -> "helps them to strike".
Let's look at similar sentences in WordNet or similar datasets (like Word-in-Context or similar).
Actually, "help" + object + infinitive is often Sense 1.
Let's check the exact definition in WordNet:
help (v)
1. give help or assistance; be of service
2. improve the condition of
3. be of use
4. abstain from doing; always used with a negative
5. help to some food; help with food or drink
6. contribute to the furtherance of
7. take or use
8. improve; change for the better

Wait, "helps them strike" -> "help" + object + verb.
Is it Sense 1? Yes, "give help or assistance; be of service".
Let's check if there's any other sense.
"help someone do something" -> Sense 1.
Let's review the options.
1. give help or assistance; be of service
3. be of use
6. contribute to the furtherance of

If I have to choose, "helps them strike" means it assists them in striking. So Sense 1.
Let's double check.
"help" (verb)
1. give help or assistance; be of service
"Can I help you?"
"Everyone helped out during the earthquake"
"helps them strike" -> assists them in striking.

Let's check if "help" + object + infinitive is Sense 1.
Yes, "help someone do something" is Sense 1.
I will output 1.
Wait, let's consider Sense 3: "be of use". "This will help to prevent accidents". Here "help" is intransitive or followed by "to" + verb.
In the sentence, "helps them strike" has an object "them".
Sense 1 allows an object: "help someone".
So 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm.
Sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency."
"helps them" -> assists them.
Sense 1: give help or assistance; be of service.
I am confident it is 1.

Sentence: "It is also the kind of libel politicians find useful, since it helps them strike a <t>friendly</t> posture on behalf of an important constituency."

Senses:
1. characteristic of or befitting a friend
2. inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile
3. easy to understand or use
4. of or belonging to your own country's forces or those of an ally

In the sentence, "strike a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency" means adopting a posture that is inclined to help or support, or not antagonistic/hostile, towards that constituency.
Sense 2: "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile" fits perfectly. "a government friendly to our interests" is similar to "a friendly posture on behalf of an important constituency".

Let's check Sense 1: "characteristic of or befitting a friend" - "friendly advice". A posture on behalf of a constituency is more about being supportive or not hostile, rather than being a personal friend.
Sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"strike a friendly posture" -> inclined to help or support.
Yes, sense 2.

In the sentence, "strike a friendly posture" refers to a mental attitude or a stance taken by politicians, not a physical arrangement of the body.

Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: physical arrangement.
Sense 2: physical bearing.
Sense 3: mental attitude.
Sense 4: military capability.

Politicians striking a friendly posture on behalf of a constituency is a mental/ideological stance, not a physical one.

Sense 1: of great significance or value. "important constituency" fits this well.
Sense 2: important in effect or meaning.
Sense 3: of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis.
Sense 4: having authority or ascendancy or influence.
Sense 5: having or suggesting a consciousness of high position.

"important constituency" -> a constituency that is of great significance or value (e.g., large, influential, or valuable for votes).
Sense 1 seems the most appropriate. "important people" is the example, which is similar to "important constituency" (a group of people of great significance).

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief". The example "the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling" is structurally and semantically very similar to "evidence that... salary differentials result in educational differentials".

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "thing" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other <t>things</t> being equal, salary differentials result in educational differentials."
The phrase is "other things being equal" (ceteris paribus).
In this context, "things" refers to vaguely specified concerns, circumstances, or matters.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a special situation
2. an action
3. a special abstraction
4. an artifact
5. an event
6. a vaguely specified concern | examples=several matters to attend to
7. a statement regarded as an object
8. an entity that is not named specifically
9. any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence
10. a special objective
11. a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion
12. a separate and self-contained entity

"other things being equal" means "other matters/circumstances/concerns being equal".
Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" matches "matters" or "circumstances".
Let's check WordNet for "thing".
WordNet sense for "thing" in "other things being equal":
"other things being equal" -> "thing" as in "several matters to attend to" -> vaguely specified concern.
Wait, let's search WordNet for "other things being equal".
Actually, "other things being equal" is a common idiom. "things" here means circumstances, matters, concerns.
Sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" (e.g., several matters to attend to).
Let's double check.
Is there a better fit?
Sense 12: a separate and self-contained entity.
Sense 6: a vaguely specified concern.
In WordNet, "thing" has the following senses:
1. a separate and self-contained entity
2. a vaguely specified concern ("several matters to attend to")
3. an action ("how could you do such a thing?")
4. an artifact ("how does this thing work?")
5. an event ("a funny thing happened on the way to the...")
6. a special situation ("this thing has got to end")
7. a special abstraction ("a thing of the spirit")
8. a statement regarded as an object ("to say the same thing in other terms")
9. an entity that is not named specifically ("I couldn't tell what the thing was")
10. any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence ("the thing I like about her is ...")
11. a special objective ("the thing is to stay in bounds")
12. a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion ("he has a thing about seafood")

Wait, the prompt lists:
1. definition=a special situation
2. definition=an action
3. definition=a special abstraction
4. definition=an artifact
5. definition=an event
6. definition=a vaguely specified concern
7. definition=a statement regarded as an object
8. definition=an entity that is not named specifically
9. definition=any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence
10. definition=a special objective
11. definition=a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion
12. definition=a separate and self-contained entity

In WordNet, "a vaguely specified concern" is sense 2 of "thing" (noun).
Let's see: "other things being equal" -> "things" = matters, concerns.
So sense 6 in the prompt's list is "a vaguely specified concern".
Let's confirm if "other things being equal" maps to "vaguely specified concern".
Yes, "matters" or "concerns" or "circumstances".
Therefore, the correct sense number is 6.
Let's review the prompt's numbering:
6. definition=a vaguely specified concern | examples=several matters to attend to

Yes, "other things being equal" means "other matters being equal".
I will output 6.

2. definition=have as a result or residue | examples=The water left a mark on the silk dress
3. definition=come about or follow as a consequence | examples=nothing will result from this meeting

In the sentence, "salary differentials result in educational differentials."
This means salary differentials cause or lead to educational differentials.
Sense 1: "issue or terminate (in a specified way, state, etc.); end" -> "result in"
Sense 3: "come about or follow as a consequence" -> "result from"

Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "result in tragedy" -> matches "result in educational differentials".
Sense 3: "nothing will result from this meeting" -> matches "result from".

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
Let's double check.
"result in" means to cause or lead to a particular outcome.
Sense 1 definition: "issue or terminate (in a specified way, state, etc.); end"
Example: "result in tragedy"
This perfectly matches "result in educational differentials".

Sense 3 is "come about or follow as a consequence", which is "result from".

So the answer is 1.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "educational" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "But there is not one shred of evidence that, other things being equal, salary differentials result in <t>educational</t> differentials."

Senses:
1. relating to the process of education

In the sentence, "educational differentials" refers to differences in education (e.g., years of schooling, degrees obtained), which relates to the process of education. It does not mean "providing knowledge" differentials.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.
Let's double check. "educational differentials" means differences in educational attainment. This is "relating to the process of education".
Sense 1 is correct.
Return only the number.

Let's check the options.
Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Sentence context: "salary differentials" means differences in salary. "educational differentials" means differences in education.
Therefore, sense 2.

Sentence: "If there were such <t>evidence</t>, you can be sure you would have heard of it."

Senses:
1. definition=your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief | examples=the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling
2. definition=an indication that makes something evident | examples=his trembling was evidence of his fear
3. definition=(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved

Let's analyze the sentence: "If there were such evidence, you can be sure you would have heard of it."
This refers to evidence as a basis for belief or knowledge about something (e.g., a claim, a phenomenon). It's not specifically a legal context (sense 3), nor is it a physical indication like trembling (sense 2). It aligns best with sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief".

Let's double check.
Sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief"
Sentence: "If there were such evidence, you can be sure you would have heard of it."
This implies "evidence" as proof or knowledge supporting a claim.

Sense 2: "an indication that makes something evident"
Sense 3: "(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved"

Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

9. definition=impossible to doubt or dispute | examples=indisputable (or sure) proof

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "If there were such evidence, you can be <t>sure</t> you would have heard of it."
The word "sure" here means having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured.
Let's check the senses:
1. having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured
2. exercising or taking care great enough to bring assurance
3. certain to occur; destined or inevitable
4. physically secure or dependable
5. reliable in operation or effect
6. (of persons) worthy of trust or confidence
7. infallible or unfailing
8. certain not to fail
9. impossible to doubt or dispute

6. invoke upon | examples=wish you a nice evening

In the sentence, "wish" is followed by an infinitive "to be serious".
"If we wish to be serious..." means "If we prefer or wish to do something" or "If we want to do something".
Sense 2: "prefer or wish to do something" fits perfectly. "wish to do something" is the exact phrasing in the definition.

Let's check the examples for sense 2: "Do you care to try this dish?" (care to = wish to).
Wait, "prefer or wish to do something" is the definition.
Let's see: "wish to be serious" -> wish to do something.
Sense 2 is the best match.

Let's double check.
1. hope for; have a wish (I wish I could go home now) - usually followed by a clause.
2. prefer or wish to do something - followed by an infinitive. "wish to be serious"
3. make or express a wish - "I wish that Christmas were over"
4. feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of - "I wish you luck"
5. order politely; express a wish for - "I wish to see the manager" (maybe, but 2 is more direct for "wish to do something")
6. invoke upon - "wish you a nice evening"

Therefore, sense 2 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "If we wish to be serious about American education, we <t>know</t> exactly what to do -- and, just as important, what not to do."
The word "know" here means "know how to do or perform something" or "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information". Wait, "know exactly what to do" means we are aware of the fact of what to do, or we know how to do it.
Let's check the senses.
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 2: know how to do or perform something. Example: She knows how to knit.
Wait, "know exactly what to do" -> "know what to do" is often considered Sense 1 (aware of a fact/information) or Sense 2 (know how to do).
Let's look at similar examples. "I know what to do" -> "know how to do or perform something" (Sense 2) or "be cognizant or aware of a fact" (Sense 1).
Actually, "know what to do" is often Sense 1: possess knowledge or information about (what to do).
Wait, "know exactly what to do" -> "know" + interrogative clause.
Let's check WordNet for "know".
Sense 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", "I know what to do".
Wait, WordNet sense 1 includes "I know what to do"? Let's check WordNet.
WordNet "know" senses:
1. know - 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 know what to do"
2. know - know how to do or perform something; "She knows how to knit"; "Does your husband know how to cook?"
Let's search my internal knowledge for WordNet "know" sense 1 examples.
"I know that the President lied to the people" is definitely Sense 1.
Does Sense 1 include "I know what to do"? Yes, "know" + wh-clause is often Sense 1.
Let's re-read Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | examples=I know that the President lied to the people"
Wait, if it's "know exactly what to do", it's about possessing knowledge or information about what to do.
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2. Sense 2 is "know how to do or perform something". "know what to do" is slightly different from "know how to do". "What to do" is the information/fact. "How to do" is the skill.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
Sentence: "we know exactly what to do"
Is it Sense 1? Yes, "know" + wh-clause (what to do) falls under being aware of a fact or specific piece of information.
Let's review the options.
1. definition=be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about
2. definition=know how to do or perform something
"know exactly what to do" -> we possess the knowledge/information of what to do.
I will go with 1.
Wait, let's think if "know what to do" could be 1. Yes, "I know what to do" is a classic example of Sense 1 in some datasets, or maybe it's just "possess knowledge or information about".
Let's choose 1.

Wait, "just as important" means "exactly as important" or "precisely as important".
Let's check sense 2: "indicating exactness or preciseness".
"just as important" -> exactly as important.
Is there any other sense?
Sense 1: and nothing more. "just as important" doesn't mean "and nothing more as important".
Sense 2: indicating exactness or preciseness. "just as important" = exactly as important.
Let's verify.
"just" in "just as important" means "exactly".
So sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"just as important" -> exactly as important.
Sense 2: indicating exactness or preciseness.
Yes, "just" here is an adverb meaning "exactly" or "precisely".

1. and nothing more

WordNet sense 1: an educational institution. "the school was founded in 1900"
WordNet sense 2: a building where young people receive education.
WordNet sense 6: an educational institution's faculty and students. "the school keeps parents informed"

1. occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space (e.g., scattered showers)
2. lacking orderly continuity (e.g., a confused set of instructions)

In the sentence, "scattered throughout this nation" means distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in space.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "poor" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the <t>poorest</t> of ghettos, and they are all sending us the same message."

Senses:
1. deserving or inciting pity
2. having little money or few possessions
3. characterized by or indicating poverty
4. lacking in specific resources, qualities or substances
5. not sufficient to meet a need
6. unsatisfactory

In the sentence, "poorest of ghettos" refers to ghettos that are characterized by or indicating poverty, or having little money or few possessions. Wait, "ghettos" are places. A place is characterized by poverty.
Let's look at the examples:
2. having little money or few possessions | examples=deplored the gap between rich and poor countries
3. characterized by or indicating poverty | examples=the country had a poor economy

Wait, "poorest of ghettos" - ghettos are areas. "poor" modifying "ghettos".
Is it sense 2 or 3?
"poor countries" -> sense 2.
"poor economy" -> sense 3.
"poor ghettos" -> ghettos are areas, like countries. So sense 2? Or sense 3?
Let's check WordNet or similar dictionary.
WordNet senses for "poor":
1. poor (deserving or inciting pity)
2. poor (having little money or few possessions) - "deplored the gap between rich and poor countries"
3. poor (characterized by or indicating poverty) - "the country had a poor economy"
4. poor (lacking in specific resources, qualities, or substances) - "a poor land"
5. poor (not sufficient to meet a need) - "an inadequate income"
6. poor (unsatisfactory) - "a poor light for reading"

"poorest of ghettos" -> ghettos are places. "poor countries" is sense 2. "poor ghettos" is similar to "poor countries".
Wait, sense 2: "having little money or few possessions". Can a ghetto have money or possessions? A country can be said to have little money.
Let's consider "poor" modifying "ghettos". A ghetto is a place.
Actually, in WordNet, "poor" (adj)
Sense 2: having little money or few possessions; "deplored the gap between rich and poor countries"
Sense 3: characterized by or indicating poverty; "the country had a poor economy"

Is a ghetto "having little money or few possessions"? Or "characterized by or indicating poverty"?
"poorest of ghettos" -> the ghettos themselves are poor.
Let's search for "poorest of ghettos" in WordNet or similar datasets (like SemCor or WordNet glosses).
Actually, "poor" modifying a place (ghetto) is likely sense 2, as in "poor countries".
Wait, "poor" in "poor economy" is sense 3.
"poor" in "poor land" is sense 4.
"poor" in "poor ghettos" - ghettos are areas inhabited by poor people. So the ghettos are "poor" in the sense of having little money or few possessions (the people in them, or the area as a whole, like a poor country).
Let's look at the example for sense 2: "rich and poor countries". A country is a place, just like a ghetto. So "poor ghettos" aligns with "poor countries".
Therefore, sense 2 is the most likely.

Let's double check.
"some of them in the poorest of ghettos"
If I say "a poor neighborhood", it means the neighborhood has little money or few possessions (or the people in it do).
Sense 2: having little money or few possessions.
Sense 3: characterized by or indicating poverty. (e.g., poor economy, poor health)
A ghetto is a place, like a country. So sense 2 fits best.

Let's review the options.
1. deserving or inciting pity
2. having little money or few possessions
3. characterized by or indicating poverty
4. lacking in specific resources, qualities or substances
5. not sufficient to meet a need
6. unsatisfactory

"poorest of ghettos" -> ghettos are places. "poor countries" is sense 2.
I will go with 2.
Wait, let's think if "ghetto" is considered to have "little money or few possessions". Yes, a poor country is said to have little money. A poor ghetto is similar.
Let's consider if it's 3. "characterized by or indicating poverty". A poor economy is characterized by poverty. A poor ghetto is characterized by poverty? But "poor countries" is explicitly sense 2. A ghetto is more like a country (a geopolitical or social entity) than an abstract concept like an economy.
So 2 is the best match.
Let's confirm with another example: "poor family" -> sense 2. "poor neighborhood" -> sense 2.
Yes, 2.
I will output 2.

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

Sentence: There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the <t>same</t> message.

Senses:
1. definition=same in identity | examples=the same man I saw yesterday
2. definition=closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree | examples=curtains the same color as the walls
3. definition=equal in amount or value | examples=like amounts
4. definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "same" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "There are many successful schools scattered throughout this nation, some of them in the poorest of ghettos, and they are all sending us the <t>same</t> message."

Senses:
1. same in identity
2. closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree
3. equal in amount or value
4. unchanged in character or nature

In the sentence, "they are all sending us the same message", the message is not literally the identical physical message (identity), but rather a message that is closely similar or comparable in kind or quality (i.e., the same kind of message, conveying the same idea).
Wait, "same message" usually means the message is identical in content or meaning. Let's look at the options.
Sense 1: same in identity. "the same man I saw yesterday"
Sense 2: closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree. "curtains the same color as the walls"
Sense 3: equal in amount or value. "like amounts"
Sense 4: unchanged in character or nature. "the village stayed the same"

Is "same message" sense 1 or sense 2?
If multiple schools send the "same message", they are sending messages that are closely similar or comparable in kind or quality (they all say the same thing, but they are distinct messages from distinct schools). They are not the *identical* message (same in identity, like the exact same physical object or the exact same instance).
Wait, "same" meaning "identical in kind or quality" is often Sense 2.
Let's check WordNet for "same".
WordNet senses for "same":
1. same - identical with the one previously mentioned or known; "the same man I saw yesterday"
2. same - closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree; "curtains the same color as the walls"; "two girls of the same age"; "had the same amount of money"; "had the same number of votes"; "no two animals are ever the same"
3. same - equal in amount or value; "like amounts"; "similar amounts"; "equal in amount"
4. same - unchanged in character or nature; "the village stayed the same"; "his attitude is the same as ever"

In "sending us the same message", the messages are from different schools, so they are not the identical message (Sense 1). They are closely similar or comparable in kind or quality (Sense 2).
Let's double check. "two girls of the same age", "curtains the same color". "same message" -> the message is of the same kind/quality.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's consider if "same message" could be Sense 1. "the same message" could be considered identical in content, but since they are sent by different schools, they are distinct instances of a message that are closely similar in kind/quality.
WordNet example for sense 2: "no two animals are ever the same".
"same message" -> similar in kind or quality.
I will go with 2.
Let's review the sentence: "they are all sending us the same message."
The message is not the identical token, but the same type of message. So sense 2.
Wait, let's think if "same" here means "identical in content". If it's identical in content, is it sense 1?
"the same man I saw yesterday" -> identity.
"curtains the same color as the walls" -> similar in quality.
"same message" -> similar in kind/quality.
Yes, 2.
I will output 2.

6. definition=an educational institution's faculty and students | examples=the school keeps parents informed
7. definition=a large group of fish | examples=a school of small glittering fish swam by

In the sentence, "unsuccessful schools" refers to educational institutions that fail, not just the building, the process, the artists, the time period, the faculty/students, or fish.
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check. "unsuccessful schools" -> educational institutions.
Sense 1: an educational institution.

11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Conversely, there are the majority of unsuccessful schools, and we <t>know</t> which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand."
The word "know" here means to be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about.
Let's check the senses:
1. definition=be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | examples=I know that the President lied to the people
2. definition=know how to do or perform something
3. definition=be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt

"we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand" -> we possess knowledge or information about which efforts are doomed.
This matches sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about".
Let's double check sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". Sense 1 is more about possessing knowledge or information about a fact (which efforts are doomed).
Wait, "know which efforts..." is knowing a fact or piece of information.
Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
Yes, "know which efforts..." fits sense 1 perfectly.
Let's review the example for sense 1: "I know that the President lied to the people".
"we know which efforts at educational reform are doomed beforehand" -> we possess knowledge about which efforts are doomed.
Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.
Let's consider 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".
Sense 1 is "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about".

4. a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end

In the sentence, "efforts at educational reform" refers to a series of actions or campaigns advancing a principle (educational reform) or tending toward a particular end.
Let's check the examples:
Sense 1: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" (singular, specific attempt)
Sense 2: "he got an A for effort" (hard work)
Sense 3: "he performed a great feat" (achievement)
Sense 4: "he supported populist campaigns" (series of actions advancing a principle)

"efforts at educational reform" aligns well with Sense 4, as it refers to campaigns or series of actions aimed at reforming education.
Wait, let's look at WordNet definitions for "effort".
WordNet sense 1: earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something. ("made an effort to cover all the reading material")
WordNet sense 2: use of physical or mental energy; hard work. ("he got an A for effort")

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

In the sentence, "efforts at educational reform" refers to a campaign or movement aimed at correcting abuses or malpractices in the educational system. "Efforts at" strongly suggests a campaign or movement.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "the reform of the law courts" (a change for the better)
Sense 2: "the reforms he proposed" (a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices)
"efforts at educational reform" aligns well with Sense 2, as it refers to a campaign or organized effort to change the educational system.

Wait, "efforts at educational reform" could be Sense 2. Let's look closely at the definition.
Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices"
"efforts at educational reform" -> efforts at a campaign aimed to correct abuses.

Let's rethink: "reform" in "educational reform" is often a mass noun referring to the process or campaign of reforming.
"efforts at educational reform" -> efforts at a campaign.
Sense 2 fits best.

Let's double check.
"efforts at educational reform"
Sense 1: a change for the better. "efforts at educational change for the better"
Sense 2: a campaign aimed to correct abuses. "efforts at educational campaign" - wait, "reform" here is the campaign itself. "efforts at [the campaign of] educational reform".
Actually, "reform" as a mass noun can be Sense 1 or Sense 2.
But "efforts at" usually collocates with a campaign or movement.
Let's search for similar examples in WordNet.
WordNet sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices" -> "the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians"
WordNet sense 1: "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses" -> "justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts"

"educational reform" is typically a campaign or movement to improve education.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's consider Sense 1: "a change for the better". "efforts at educational change for the better".
But "efforts at" implies an ongoing attempt, which aligns with "campaign".
I will output 2.
Wait, let's look at the phrasing: "efforts at educational reform". Reform here is the campaign.
I'll go with 2.
Let's review the options.
1. a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses
2. a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices
3. self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice

"educational reform" is a campaign to correct abuses or malpractices in education.
So 2.

In the sentence, "really" is used as an intensifier modifying the verb "do know".
"We really do know..."
Sense 4: "used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal"
Wait, let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: in accordance with truth or fact or reality (truly)
Sense 2: in actual fact (actually)
Sense 3: in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers)
Sense 4: used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal

Let's check WordNet for "really".
WordNet senses for "really":
1. in accordance with truth or fact or reality; "she was now truly American"; "they were genuinely grateful"
2. in actual fact; "to be nominally but not actually independent"; "no one actually saw the shark"; "large meteorites actually come from the asteroid belt"
3. in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers); "in truth, moral decay hastened the decline of the Roman Empire"; "he was really a better man than she"; "really, it is quite impossible"
4. used as intensifiers; "real" is sometimes used informally for "really"; "rattling" is informal; "she was very gifted"; "he really fell in love"; "your real friend"

In the sentence: "We really do know all we need to know..."
"really" is used as an intensifier.
Is it sense 3 or sense 4?
"really do know" -> "he really fell in love" is sense 4.
Let's see: "really" as an intensifier modifying a verb phrase.
Sense 4: used as intensifiers; "real" is sometimes used informally for "really"; "rattling" is informal.
Wait, "really" in "really do know" is an intensifier.
Let's check the examples for sense 4: "she was very gifted", "he really fell in love", "your real friend".
"really do know" matches "he really fell in love".
Let's check sense 3: "in truth, moral decay hastened the decline of the Roman Empire"; "he was really a better man than she"; "really, it is quite impossible".
"really do know" is an intensifier for the verb "do know".
Therefore, sense 4 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
Sentence: We really do know all we need to know...
"really" is an intensifier.
Sense 4: used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal.
Yes, "really" is used as an intensifier here.

Let's review the options.
1. in accordance with truth or fact or reality
2. in actual fact
3. in fact (used as intensifiers or sentence modifiers)
4. used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal

"really do know" -> intensifier.
I will output 4.
Wait, let's consider if "really" here means "in actual fact". "We in actual fact do know..."
But "really do know" is a classic intensifier construction. "I really do love you."
WordNet sense 4: "used as intensifiers; 'real' is sometimes used informally for 'really'; 'rattling' is informal"
