Target lemma: challenge
Target surface form: challenge
Context:
Why ca not we teach our children to read, write and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do. It's that we do not want to. And the reason we do not want to is that effective education would require us to relinquish some cherished metaphysical beliefs about human nature in general and the human nature of young people in particular, well as to violate some cherished vested interests. These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and even our parents that it seems almost blasphemous to <t>challenge</t> them. Here is an example.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=challenge%2:32:01:: | definition=take exception to | synonyms=dispute, gainsay | examples=She challenged his claims
2. sense_key=challenge%2:32:00:: | definition=issue a challenge to | examples=Fischer challenged Spassky to a match
3. sense_key=challenge%2:32:03:: | definition=ask for identification | examples=The illegal immigrant was challenged by the border guard
4. sense_key=challenge%2:32:02:: | definition=raise a formal objection in a court of law | synonyms=take exception

    *   Context: "...These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and even our parents that it seems almost blasphemous to <t>challenge</t> them."
    *   Target surface form: "challenge"

    *   Sense 1: `challenge%2:32:01::` | definition: "take exception to" | synonyms: "dispute, gainsay" | examples: "She challenged his claims"

    *   Sense 4: `challenge%2:32:02::` | definition: "raise a formal objection in a court of law" | synonyms: "take exception"

    *   The context discusses "cherished metaphysical beliefs" and "vested interests" that dominate society.
    *   The sentence says it seems "blasphemous to challenge them" (referring to the beliefs).
    *   In this context, "challenge" means to question the validity of, dispute, or take exception to these beliefs.

    *   Sense 1 ("take exception to", "dispute", "gainsay") fits perfectly. Challenging beliefs is equivalent to disputing them or taking exception to their truth.
    *   Sense 2 ("issue a challenge to") usually refers to a competition or a duel (like the Fischer/Spassky example). Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3 ("ask for identification") is about security/border control. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4 ("raise a formal objection in a court of law") is a legal term. Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Looking at Sense 2: "in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail". This fits the usage of introducing an example to support a point.

    *   Sense 1: Physical location. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: "in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail". (Correct - "Here is an example" means "On this point, here is an example" or "In this respect, here is an example").
    *   Sense 3: Directional movement. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: Temporal. (Incorrect)

    *   "Here is an example" is a common way to introduce a point or detail in a text. This aligns with "on this point or detail".

    *   Sense 2: `make a request or demand for something` (e.g., "asked him for a loan"). Focuses on requesting an object or favor.
    *   Sense 3: `direct or put; seek an answer to` (e.g., "ask a question"). Focuses on the act of posing a question.
    *   Sense 4: `consider obligatory; request and expect` (e.g., "asking too much of these children"). Focuses on demands/expectations.
    *   Sense 5: `address a question to and expect an answer from` (e.g., "Ask your teacher about trigonometry"). Focuses on the person being asked.

    *   In the context: "ask a sample of American parents" -> "a sample of American parents" is the direct object.

    *   Sense 6: "necessitate" (No).

    *   The speaker is talking about asking a group of American parents a question to illustrate a point about general beliefs.
    *   This is a classic statistical/sociological use of "sample": selecting a subset of a population (American parents) to represent the whole population's views.

    *   Sense 1: "a small part of something intended as representative of the whole." (General)
    *   Sense 2: "items selected at random from a population and used to test hypotheses about the population." (Specific to statistics/research)

    *   Sense 3 is clearly wrong (not a biological specimen).
    *   Sense 1 is a general definition of a sample.
    *   Sense 2 is the technical definition used in surveys and research.
    *   In the context "ask a sample of American parents", the author is referring to a group of people selected from a larger population to gauge opinion. This fits the definition of a statistical sample (Sense 2) perfectly. While Sense 1 is also technically true, Sense 2 is the precise term for a group of people selected from a population for a survey/test.

    *   Sense 1: "a small part of something intended as representative of the whole" (e.g., a sample of fabric, a sample of food).
    *   Sense 2: "items selected at random from a population and used to test hypotheses about the population" (e.g., a sample of voters, a sample of parents).

    The context "ask a sample of American parents" is a textbook example of Sense 2.

        2.  `inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to`
        3.  `spur on` (example: financial success encouraged him to look for a wife)

    *   The sentence asks if parents want schools to "encourage creativity".
    *   "Encourage creativity" means to foster it, promote its growth, or help it develop.
    *   Sense 1: "contribute to the progress or growth of" (synonyms: promote, advance, boost, further). This fits perfectly. "Promote creativity" is a very common synonym.
    *   Sense 2: "inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to". This is about emotional support for a person, not a quality like creativity.
    *   Sense 3: "spur on". This usually implies motivating someone to take a specific action (like looking for a wife). While similar to promote, Sense 1 is more about the growth/development of a trait or concept.

    *   Sense 1: promote/advance/boost/further the growth of creativity. (Strong fit)
    *   Sense 2: give courage to creativity. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 3: spur on creativity. (Possible, but Sense 1's "contribute to the progress or growth of" is a more precise fit for "creativity" in an educational context).

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   The sentence mentions "American parents" and "elementary schools".
    *   The parents are being asked about "your children".
    *   In the context of parents and elementary schools, "children" refers to their offspring who are currently of school age.

    *   Sense 1: "a young person of either sex". This fits the "elementary school" part.
    *   Sense 2: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age". This fits the "parents" part.
    *   Sense 3: "an immature childish person". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "a member of a clan or tribe". Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *age* (young person).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *relationship* (offspring).
    *   The phrase "your children" strongly implies the relationship (offspring). While they are also young (elementary school), the possessive "your" points directly to the offspring sense.
    *   Comparing "she writes books for children" (Sense 1) vs "they had three children" (Sense 2).
    *   "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children?"
    *   If the sentence were "Elementary schools should encourage creativity in children," Sense 1 would be more likely.
    *   Because it says "your children" (referring to the parents' offspring), Sense 2 is the most precise fit.

    *   Sense 1: young person.
    *   Sense 2: offspring.
    *   Context: "American parents... your children".
    *   The relationship (parent-child) is the primary driver here.

    *   Wait, let me re-read. "If I were to ask a sample of American parents, 'Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children?'"
    *   The children are in elementary school (young), but they are the parents' children (offspring).
    *   Usually, "your children" in this context refers to their offspring.
    *   Let's check the examples again.
        *   Sense 1: "she writes books for children" (general category of young people).
        *   Sense 2: "they had three children" (offspring).
    *   "Your children" is almost always Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: young person.
    *   Sense 2: offspring.
    *   The context is parents talking about their own children. This is the definition of offspring.

    *   Sense 1: young person.
    *   Sense 2: offspring.
    *   The phrase "your children" specifically denotes the relationship.

    *   Sense 1: a young person of either sex.
    *   Sense 2: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age.
    *   In "your children", the "your" indicates the relationship.

    *   Sense 1: young person.
    *   Sense 2: offspring.
    *   If the sentence was "Children should be creative," it would be Sense 1.
    *   Since it is "your children" (referring to the parents), it is Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: `mean or intend to express or convey` (Synonyms: intend; Example: "You never understand what I mean!")
    *   Sense 2: `have as a logical consequence` (Synonyms: entail, imply; Example: "The water shortage means that we have to stop taking long showers")

    *   Sense 7: `destine or designate for a certain purpose` (Example: "These flowers were meant for you")

    *   The sentence is: "But what do we mean, specifically, by 'creativity'?"
    *   The speaker is asking for the definition or the intended meaning of the word "creativity".
    *   This is a question about the semantic content or the definition of a term.

    *   Sense 1 (`mean or intend to express or convey`) often refers to the speaker's intent in a specific utterance (e.g., "What do you mean by that?").
    *   Sense 3 (`denote or connote`) refers to the definition of a word or symbol (e.g., "'maison' means 'house'").
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 1 is more about the *speaker's* intention in a specific communicative act.
        *   Sense 3 is more about the *word's* meaning or definition.
        *   In "what do we mean, specifically, by 'creativity'?", the focus is on the definition of the term "creativity" as used by a group of people ("we"). This aligns closely with "denote or connote".

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "mean or intend to express or convey".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "denote or connote".
    *   Example for Sense 1: "You never understand what I mean!" (Speaker's intent).
    *   Example for Sense 3: "'maison' means 'house' in French" (Lexical meaning).
    *   The context "what do we mean... by 'creativity'?" is asking for the definition of the term. This is a lexical/semantic question.

    *   Sense 1: "intend to express" (often used in "What do you mean by that?" when someone is confused by a statement).
    *   Sense 3: "denote or connote" (used for definitions).
    *   The phrase "mean by [word]" is very common for both. However, "denote or connote" is the most precise fit for asking for the definition of a concept like "creativity".

    *   Sense 1: `mean or intend to express or convey`
    *   Sense 3: `denote or connote`
    *   In the context "what do we mean... by 'creativity'?", the speaker is asking for the definition of the word. Sense 3 is specifically about what a word denotes or connotes.

    *   Sense 1: "You never understand what I mean!" (The meaning of the *utterance*).
    *   Sense 3: "An example sentence would show what this word means" (The meaning of the *word*).
    *   The target sentence "what do we mean... by 'creativity'?" is asking about the meaning of the *word* "creativity".

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

*   Target lemma: `result`
    *   Target surface form: `result`
    *   Context: "The <t>result</t> is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves."
    *   Preceding context: The author discusses how "creativity" in schools is equated with "self-expression" and "self-esteem," leading to a specific outcome.

    *   Sense 1: `result%1:19:00::` - a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon (synonyms: consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot).
    *   Sense 2: `result%1:10:00::` - a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem (synonyms: solution, answer, resolution, solvent).
    *   Sense 3: `result%1:11:00::` - something that results (synonyms: resultant, final result, outcome, termination).
    *   Sense 4: `result%1:10:01::` - the semantic role of the noun phrase... (linguistic term).

    *   The sentence says "The result is a generation of young people...".
    *   This "result" is the consequence of the educational approach described previously (equating creativity with self-expression/self-esteem).
    *   Sense 1 (consequence, effect, outcome) fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2 (solution/answer) does not fit.
    *   Sense 3 (something that results, often used for test results or final scores) is similar to Sense 1 but usually refers to a specific output or a set of data (e.g., "the results of the election"). Sense 1 is broader and more focused on causality ("caused by some previous phenomenon").
    *   Sense 4 (semantic role) is a technical linguistic term and does not fit.

    *   Sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (consequence, effect).
    *   Sense 3: "something that results" (resultant, final result).
    *   In the context "The result is a generation of young people...", the author is describing a causal relationship: [Educational approach] $\rightarrow$ [Generation of incompetent people]. This is a classic "consequence" or "effect".

    *   Sense 1 is the most precise fit for a causal consequence.

    *   The sentence says: "ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves."
    *   This means that the *only* thing that matches (or equals/surpasses) their ignorance and incompetence is their good opinion of themselves.
    *   It implies exclusivity: nothing else matches it, *solely* their good opinion of themselves.

    *   Sense 1: "and nothing more" (merely, simply, just). Example: "I was merely asking." (Doesn't fit well; it's not saying the matching is "merely" happening).

    *   Sense 1 (merely) vs Sense 2 (solely).
    *   "Matched merely by" would imply that the matching is insignificant.
    *   "Matched solely by" implies that nothing else matches it.
    *   In the context of the sentence (a critique of a generation), the author is emphasizing that the *only* thing as great as their incompetence is their ego. This is an exclusive claim.

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

*   Target word: "good"
    *   Context: "...a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their <t>good</t> opinion of themselves."
    *   Meaning: The phrase "good opinion of themselves" refers to a high, positive, or favorable view of oneself. In this context, it's used ironically to contrast with "ignorance and intellectual incompetence."

    *   1: having desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified (e.g., good news, good report card).
    *   2: having the normally expected amount (ample).
    *   3: morally admirable.
    *   4: deserving of esteem and respect (reputable).
    *   5: promoting or enhancing well-being (advantageous).
    *   6: agreeable or pleasing (nice).
    *   7: of moral excellence (righteous).
    *   8: having or showing knowledge and skill (skilled).
    *   9: thorough (complete).
    *   10: close or intimate relationship.
    *   11: financially sound.
    *   12: most suitable or right (opportune).
    *   13: resulting favorably (fortunate).
    *   14: exerting force or influence (operative).
    *   15: capable of pleasing (pleasing).
    *   16: appealing to the mind (intellectual).
    *   17: in excellent physical condition (healthy).
    *   18: tending to promote physical well-being (healthful).
    *   19: not forged (genuine).
    *   20: not left to spoil (fresh).
    *   21: generally admired (discriminating).

    *   "Good opinion" means a positive or favorable view.
    *   Sense 1: "having desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified." A "good opinion" is an opinion that has positive qualities (i.e., it's a positive opinion).
    *   Sense 4: "deserving of esteem and respect." This doesn't fit "good opinion" as well as Sense 1.
    *   Sense 6: "agreeable or pleasing." This is close, but "good opinion" is more about the *content* of the opinion (positive) than the *feeling* of the opinion (agreeable).
    *   Sense 15: "capable of pleasing." Not quite.

    *   "Good opinion of oneself" is a standard idiom meaning a high opinion.
    *   Looking at Sense 1: "having desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified." If the "thing specified" is an opinion, a "good" one is a positive one.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4 (reputable/deserving of esteem). A "good name" is a reputable name. A "good opinion" isn't necessarily a "reputable" opinion.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 6 (agreeable/pleasing). "Good manners" are agreeable. A "good opinion" is a positive view.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general sense of "good" meaning "positive" or "desirable." In the phrase "good opinion," "good" means positive/favorable.

    *   Wait, let me check if there's a better fit.
    *   "Good opinion" = high opinion.
    *   Sense 1: "having desirable or positive qualities". A positive opinion is one that attributes desirable qualities to the subject.
    *   Is there any other sense?
    *   Sense 4: "deserving of esteem and respect". (No)
    *   Sense 6: "agreeable or pleasing". (No)
    *   Sense 15: "capable of pleasing". (No)

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "having desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified".
    *   Example: "good news" (positive news), "good report card" (positive report card).
    *   "Good opinion" fits this pattern perfectly (positive opinion).

    *   Context: "...ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves."
    *   The author is being sarcastic. The "good opinion" is actually unfounded, but the *nature* of the opinion is that it is positive/high.
    *   Sense 1 fits "positive/favorable".

Target lemma: opinion
Target surface form: opinion
Context:
Here is an example. If I were to ask a sample of American parents, "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children? "the near-unanimous answer would be, "Yes, of course. "But what do we mean, specifically, by "creativity "? No one can say. In practice, it ends up being equated with a "self-expression "that encourages the youngsters' "self-esteem. "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good <t>opinion</t> of themselves. The whole notion of "creativity "in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as "authoritarian, "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children.
