No student should be permitted to be graduated from elementary school without having mastered the 3 R's at the level that prevailed 20 years ago.

    *   The phrase is "get the necessary grounding".
    *   "Grounding" here means basic instruction or training.
    *   Does "get" mean "acquire" (Sense 1), "receive a treatment" (Sense 4), or "acquire as a result of effort" (Sense 21)?
    *   Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (synonym: acquire).
    *   Sense 4: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" (synonyms: receive, find, obtain, incur). Example: "His movie received a good review."
    *   Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action". Example: "Where did she get these news?"

    *   "Grounding" (basic education) is something a student *receives* or *acquires*.
    *   Sense 1 is very general: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    *   Sense 4 is "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". Is "grounding" a "treatment"? Not really in the medical or social sense, but "receive a good review" is similar to "receive a good education".
    *   Sense 21 is "acquire as a result of some effort or action". This fits well, as students acquire grounding through study.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 4: "receive a specified treatment (abstract) | synonyms=receive, find, obtain, incur".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Wait, "grounding" is an abstract thing (knowledge). "Get the necessary grounding" means to receive the necessary basic education.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4:
    Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire).
    Sense 4: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" (receive).

    Is "grounding" a "treatment"? In the sense of "treatment" as in "how someone is treated" or "a process of being treated"? No. But the example "His movie received a good review" suggests "treatment" might be used broadly for "something given or experienced".

    Let's look at Sense 1 again. "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle" (concrete). "They acquired a new pet" (concrete).

    Let's look at Sense 21 again. "acquire as a result of some effort or action". "You cannot get water out of a stone".

    Actually, "get the necessary grounding" is most similar to "receive an education".

    Let's look at Sense 4 again: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation".

    Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". "Grounding" is an abstract possession (knowledge).

    Let's check if there's a better sense.
    Sense 7: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "get an idea".
    Sense 17: "grasp with the mind". "did you catch that allusion?".

    "Get the necessary grounding" means to *receive* the basic training.

    Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 4 again.
    Sense 1: acquire (possession of something abstract).
    Sense 4: receive (a treatment/interpretation/review).

    "Grounding" is more like a set of knowledge (abstract possession) than a "treatment".

    Let's re-read Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire".
    Example: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle".

    Let's re-read Sense 4: "receive a specified treatment (abstract) | synonyms=receive, find, obtain, incur".
    Example: "His movie received a good review".

    If I say "He got a good education", is that Sense 1 or Sense 4?
    Education is an abstract thing you acquire (Sense 1) or a treatment/process you receive (Sense 4).

    Let's look at Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    "Grounding" is acquired through the process of tracking/schooling.

    Wait, let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: "receive, find, obtain, incur".
    "Receive the necessary grounding" sounds very natural.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "acquire".
    "Acquire the necessary grounding" also sounds natural.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 4 again: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation; His movie received a good review". These are things that are *given* to the subject.

    "Grounding" is given to the students by the system.

    Let's look at Sense 1 again: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle". This is also something given.

    Let's think about "get" in "get an education".
    In many WordNet-based datasets, "get an education" or "get a degree" is often mapped to "acquire" or "receive".

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 4.
    Sense 1: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract.
    Sense 4: receive a specified treatment (abstract).

    Is "grounding" a "treatment"?
    A "grounding" in this context is a foundation of knowledge.
    Is a "foundation of knowledge" a "treatment"? No.
    Is it "something abstract" that one "comes into the possession of"? Yes.

    Let's double-check Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    "You cannot get water out of a stone". This seems more about extracting something.

    Let's look at Sense 1 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    This seems the most fitting for "get the necessary grounding".

    Wait, let me search for "get grounding" in a corpus or dictionary.
    "Grounding" (noun): an instruction or training in the basic principles of a subject.
    "Get a grounding in something" = to receive basic training.

    If "get" = "receive", which sense is "receive"?
    Sense 4: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".

    Let's look at Sense 4's examples again: "receive an interpretation", "received a good review". These are reactions or responses.
    "Grounding" is not a reaction or response; it's a body of knowledge.

    Therefore, Sense 1 ("come into the possession of something... abstract") is a better fit than Sense 4.

    Let's quickly check other senses one more time.
    Sense 7: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "get an idea".
    Sense 17: "grasp with the mind". "did you catch that allusion?".
    Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 21:
    Sense 1: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire).
    Sense 21: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Sense 1 is more general. Sense 21's example "get water out of a stone" is more about extraction. "Where did she get these news?" is more about the source.

    Let's look at Sense 1 again. "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle". This is a simple acquisition.

    "Get the necessary grounding" = acquire the necessary basic knowledge.

    Final check:
    Sense 1: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract.
    Sense 4: receive a specified treatment (abstract).
    Sense 21: acquire as a result of some effort or action.

    "Grounding" is an abstract thing (knowledge/training).
    "Get" = acquire/receive.
    Sense 1 fits "acquire/come into possession of something abstract".

    *   The phrase is "entering the modern world of work."
    *   This refers to starting a career or joining the workforce.
    *   It's not physical movement (Sense 1).
    *   It's not registering formally (Sense 3).
    *   It's not taking on a specific office/throne (Sense 7).
    *   It's not recording data (Sense 5).
    *   It's not coming on stage (Sense 6).
    *   It's not inserting something (Sense 8).

    *   Sense 9: "set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)" (Synonym: embark). Example: "she embarked upon a new career".

    *   "Entering the world of work" is very similar to "embarking upon a new career".
    *   Sense 9 specifically mentions "enterprise or subject of study" and the example "embarked upon a new career".
    *   Sense 2 is more about participation in an event or agreement.

    *   The context is about preparing students for their future careers ("grounding for further study or for entering the modern world of work").
    *   Sense 9 ("set out on (an enterprise...)", synonym "embark", example "embarked upon a new career") fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 6: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately" (examples: "the outdoor world", "the world of insects").

    *   "World of work" is a common idiom. Does it mean a "distinctive group of people" (Sense 2) or a "part of the earth/environment" (Sense 6)?
    *   Looking at Sense 2 again: "especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". The "world of work" isn't just the people, but the environment/system.
    *   Looking at Sense 6 again: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately". Examples: "the outdoor world", "the world of insects". This often covers conceptual spheres or environments.
    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 2's synonym: "domain". "The domain of work".
    *   Let's look at Sense 6 again. "The world of insects" is a biological category. "The outdoor world" is a physical location.
    *   Is there a better fit?
    *   Sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest".
    *   Sense 6: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately".
    *   Actually, "the world of work" usually refers to the environment or the sphere of activity.
    *   Let's compare "the world of work" to "the world of politics" or "the business world". These are typically categorized as "a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" or the "domain" they inhabit.
    *   Sense 2's synonym "domain" fits "the world of work" quite well.
    *   Sense 6's examples ("outdoor world", "world of insects") are more about physical or biological realms.

    *   Sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" (Synonym: domain).
    *   Sense 6: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately".
    *   In "the world of work", "world" refers to the sphere of activity or the community of people involved in working. This aligns better with Sense 2 (domain/distinctive group).

    *   Sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" (Synonym: domain).
    *   Example: "the Western world".

    *   Sense 6: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately".

    *   The sentence is: "The notion that tracking is somehow 'undemocratic' is absurd."
    *   The author is arguing against the idea that "tracking" (grouping students by ability) is undemocratic.
    *   The author calls this idea "absurd."

    *   Sense 4 (sewing items) is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 2 (general inclusive concept) is too neutral and abstract. "The concept that tracking is undemocratic" is possible, but "notion" here carries a negative connotation (it's "absurd").
    *   Sense 3 (odd or fanciful or capricious idea) fits the "absurd" description well. However, is it a "whim" or a "capricious idea"? Not necessarily. It's a belief held by some people.
    *   Sense 1 (a vague idea in which some confidence is placed / belief / opinion) fits well. The author is referring to a belief or opinion held by others that they find incorrect.

While the author *thinks* it's absurd (which aligns with the "odd" part of sense 3), the "notion" itself refers to the belief/opinion held by the opposing side.
    *   Usually, when someone says "The notion that [X] is [Y] is absurd," they are referring to a belief or a common idea (Sense 1) that they disagree with. Sense 3 is more about a sudden whim or a fanciful fancy.

    *   Sense 1: "belief, opinion".

    *   Is the idea that tracking is undemocratic a "whim"? No. It's a political/educational belief.
    *   Is it a "belief" or "opinion"? Yes.

    *   Sense 1: "a vague idea in which some confidence is placed" (synonyms: belief, opinion).
    *   The author is referring to the belief that tracking is undemocratic.

    *   Looking at the context: "Students should move up the educational ladder... tracking... ensure that the less gifted get the necessary grounding... The purpose of education is to encourage young men and women to realize their full academic potential."
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *act* of teaching (instruction, pedagogy).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *process* of learning/development (preparation for life).
    *   In the phrase "The purpose of education is to encourage... to realize their full academic potential," it refers to the overarching process/concept of learning and development rather than just the specific activities of teaching.

    *   Sense 1: "the activities of educating or instructing" (instruction, teaching).
    *   Sense 3: "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge" (preparation for life).
    *   The context discusses the "educational ladder," "tracking," and "realizing academic potential." This aligns more with the broad process of development and learning (Sense 3) than just the specific acts of instruction (Sense 1).

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill".
    *   Sense 3: "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge".
    *   If the purpose is to "encourage young men and women to realize their full academic potential," this is the goal of the *process* of education.

    *   Sense 1: "he received no formal education" (referring to the schooling/instruction).
    *   Sense 3: "education is a preparation for life" (referring to the process/concept).
    *   The sentence "The purpose of education is to encourage..." is very similar in structure and meaning to "education is a preparation for life."

    *   Sense 1: Instruction/Teaching.
    *   Sense 3: Process of acquiring knowledge.
    *   The context is about the system, the ladder, and the goal of realizing potential. This is the broad concept of education as a process.

    *   Sense 1: activities of educating.
    *   Sense 3: gradual process of acquiring knowledge.
    *   "The purpose of education" usually refers to the general concept/process.

    *   Sense 1: instruction, teaching, pedagogy.
    *   Sense 3: (no synonyms listed, but example "education is a preparation for life").
    *   The context "The purpose of education is to encourage young men and women to realize their full academic potential" fits the "preparation for life" / "process of acquiring knowledge" vibe of Sense 3 better than the "pedagogy/instruction" vibe of Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: activities of educating.
    *   Sense 3: process of acquiring knowledge.
    *   If I say "The purpose of education is X," I am usually talking about the process/institution of learning.

    *   Sense 1: "he received no formal education" (meaning he didn't go through the activities of schooling).
    *   Sense 3: "education is a preparation for life" (meaning the process of learning).
    *   The target sentence "The purpose of education is to encourage..." is almost identical in nature to "education is a preparation for life."

    *   Sense 1: activities of educating.
    *   Sense 3: process of acquiring knowledge.
    *   The context is about the *goal* of the whole endeavor. Sense 3 is the most abstract and encompassing.

    *   Sense 1: activities of educating or instructing.
    *   Sense 3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge.
    *   "The purpose of education is to encourage young men and women to realize their full academic potential."
    *   This is describing the *goal* of the process.

    *   Sense 1: activities of educating or instructing.
    *   Sense 3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge.
    *   Looking at the context again: "Students should move up the educational ladder... tracking... ensure that the less gifted get the necessary grounding... The purpose of education is to encourage..."
    *   This is talking about the system and the process. Sense 3 fits best.

*   Target lemma: `encourage`
    *   Context: "The purpose of education is to <t>encourage</t> young men and women to realize their full academic potential."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `encourage%2:41:00::`: contribute to the progress or growth of (synonyms: promote, advance, boost, further). Example: "promoting the use of computers in the classroom".
        2.  `encourage%2:37:00::`: inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to.
        3.  `encourage%2:32:00::`: spur on. Example: "His financial success encouraged him to look for a wife".

    *   The sentence is about the purpose of education helping students "realize their full academic potential."
    *   Does it mean "contribute to the progress or growth of" (Sense 1)? Education promotes the realization of potential.
    *   Does it mean "inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to" (Sense 2)? Education can do this, but the focus here is on the outcome (realizing potential).
    *   Does it mean "spur on" (Sense 3)? This implies a push or motivation toward a specific action.

    *   Sense 1 (promote/advance) fits well with the systemic goal of education (contributing to the growth/progress of the students' potential).
    *   Sense 2 (inspire confidence) is more about emotional support.
    *   Sense 3 (spur on) is about motivation/incentive.

    Looking closer at the context: "The purpose of education is to encourage young men and women to realize their full academic potential."
    If we replace "encourage" with "promote": "The purpose of education is to promote young men and women to realize..." (Doesn't quite fit grammatically).
    If we replace "encourage" with "inspire": "The purpose of education is to inspire young men and women to realize..." (Fits well).
    If we replace "encourage" with "spur on": "The purpose of education is to spur on young men and women to realize..." (Fits well).

    Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 1. "Contribute to the progress or growth of". Usually, this is used as "encourage [something]", not "encourage [someone] to [do something]".
    Example for Sense 1: "promoting the use of computers". (Encourage + Object).
    The target sentence is "encourage [someone] to [do something]".

    Sense 2: "inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to".
    Sense 3: "spur on".

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
    Sense 2 is about confidence/hope.
    Sense 3 is about motivation/incentive/pushing forward.

    "Realizing full academic potential" is a process of growth and achievement. "Spurring on" (Sense 3) fits the idea of pushing someone toward a goal. "Inspiring with confidence" (Sense 2) fits the idea of giving them the belief that they can do it.

    In the context of "the purpose of education", it's often about providing the motivation and the means to achieve. "Spur on" (Sense 3) is a strong candidate for "encourage someone to [do something]".

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1 again: promote, advance, boost, further. These are usually transitive verbs where the object is the thing being promoted (e.g., "encourage economic growth"). Here, the object is "young men and women".

    Between Sense 2 and Sense 3:
    Sense 2: inspire with confidence.
    Sense 3: spur on.

    "Encourage someone to realize their potential" usually means to motivate them or provide the support/incentive to do so. "Spur on" is a very close synonym for this type of motivation.

    Let's double-check Sense 2. "Inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to". This is more about the emotional state.

    Let's look at the example for Sense 3: "His financial success encouraged him to look for a wife." This is a motivation leading to an action. "Education encourages students to realize their potential" is a motivation/support leading to an achievement.

    Sense 1: encourage [something] (e.g., encourage growth).
    Sense 2: encourage [someone] (give them confidence).
    Sense 3: encourage [someone] to [do something] (spur them on).

    The sentence structure is "encourage [young men and women] to [realize their full academic potential]". This matches the pattern of Sense 3.

    Sense 1: promote/advance (e.g., encourage the development of...)
    Sense 2: give confidence (e.g., the teacher encouraged the student)
    Sense 3: spur on/motivate to act (e.g., encourage someone to do something)

    The target sentence is "encourage [someone] to [do something]". This is the classic "spur on" or "motivate" sense.

    Sense 3 is the best fit.

*   Target lemma: "full"
    *   Target surface form: "full"
    *   Context: "The purpose of education is to encourage young men and women to realize their <t>full</t> academic potential."

    *   Sense 1: containing as much as possible (e.g., full glass).
    *   Sense 2: constituting the full quantity or extent; complete (synonyms: entire, total; e.g., full attention).
    *   Sense 3: complete in extent or degree and in every particular (synonyms: total; e.g., a full game).
    *   Sense 4: filled with food (e.g., full stomach).
    *   Sense 5: sound deepness (e.g., full voice).
    *   Sense 6: having the normally expected amount (e.g., full measure).
    *   Sense 7: peak or culminating point (e.g., full summer).
    *   Sense 8: ample fabric (e.g., full skirt).

    *   The phrase is "full academic potential."
    *   This refers to the *entirety* or *complete extent* of a person's potential.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete" (synonyms: entire, total). Example: "gave full attention".
        *   Sense 3: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular" (synonyms: total). Example: "a full game".
    *   "Full potential" is very similar to "full attention" (Sense 2) in that it refers to the total extent of a capacity or resource.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete" (entire, total).
        *   Sense 3: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular" (total).
    *   Actually, "full potential" usually means the maximum possible extent.
    *   Looking at Sense 2's example "gave full attention", it fits the pattern of "full [abstract noun of capacity/extent]".
    *   Looking at Sense 3's example "a full game", it refers to the completion of a set duration or requirement.
    *   Sense 2 seems more appropriate for "full potential" (the entire extent of one's potential).

    *   Sense 1: Physical containment (No).
    *   Sense 2: Entirety/extent (Yes).
    *   Sense 3: Completeness in every particular/duration (Less likely than 2).
    *   Sense 4: Food (No).
    *   Sense 5: Sound (No).
    *   Sense 6: Expected amount (No).
    *   Sense 7: Peak (No).
    *   Sense 8: Fabric (No).

    *   "Full potential" = "entire potential" or "total potential".
    *   Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete" (synonyms: entire, total).
    *   This matches perfectly.

        3.  `academic%5:00:00:scholarly:00`: marked by a narrow focus on or display of learning especially its trivial aspects (synonyms: donnish, pedantic).

    *   The word "academic" modifies "potential" in the phrases "academic potential" and "equal academic potential."
    *   The context discusses students, the educational ladder, elementary school, tracking, and the purpose of education.
    *   "Academic potential" refers to a student's ability to succeed in educational/scholarly pursuits.

    *   Sense 1: "associated with academia or an academy". This fits well. "Academic potential" is potential related to school/academia.
    *   Sense 2: "hypothetical or theoretical". This does not fit. The text is not talking about a hypothetical potential.
    *   Sense 3: "marked by a narrow focus on or display of learning especially its trivial aspects" (pedantic). This does not fit. The text is not criticizing the potential as being pedantic.

    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate. It describes things related to education and schooling.

    *   The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
*   Target lemma: "actually"
    *   Context: "No one in his right mind <t>actually</t> believes that we all have an equal academic potential."
    *   Sentence meaning: The author is arguing that it's a fact that people have different academic potentials, and anyone sane would recognize this. The word "actually" here emphasizes the reality of the belief (or lack thereof).

    *   Sense 1: `actually%4:02:01::` | definition=in actual fact | synonyms=really | examples=to be nominally but not actually independent; no one actually saw the shark.
    *   Sense 2: `actually%4:02:00::` | definition=used to imply that one would expect the fact to be the opposite of that stated; surprisingly | synonyms=in reality | examples=you may actually be doing the right thing by walking out; she actually spoke Latin.

    *   Sense 4: `actually%4:02:02::` | definition=as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis | examples=actually, we all help clear up after a meal; actually, I haven't seen the film.

    *   Sense 3 (at the present moment) is clearly wrong.
    *   Sense 4 (sentence modifier) is wrong because "actually" is modifying the verb "believes" within the clause, not acting as a discourse marker for the whole sentence.
    *   Sense 2 (surprisingly/contrary to expectation) doesn't fit well here. The author isn't saying it's surprising that no one believes it; they are stating a perceived fact.
    *   Sense 1 (in actual fact/really) fits best. "No one in his right mind *really* believes..." It emphasizes the truth of the matter.

    *   "No one actually saw the shark" (Sense 1) is very similar in structure to "No one... actually believes..."
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the distinction between nominal/apparent and actual fact. In the context, the author is contrasting a "notion" (that tracking is undemocratic) with the "actual" reality of academic potential.

    *   Sense 1: "in actual fact" / "really".
    *   Context: "No one in his right mind actually believes..." -> "No one in his right mind really believes..."
    *   This matches perfectly.
