reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "desirable" is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

3.  **Analyze the Word in Context:** The word is "desirable." It is used in the structure "Whether X or not," implying a consideration of quality, merit, or suitability.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=worth having or seeking or achieving | examples=a desirable job
    *   Sense 2: definition=worthy of being chosen especially as a spouse | examples=the parents found the girl suitable for their son

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "program" is used in the sentence: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:**
    *   "this is a child-care program"

    *   The context contrasts two types of structured activities/services (child-care vs. educational).

3.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished | examples=they drew up a six-step plan (Focuses on steps/goals/plan.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need | examples=he proposed an elaborate program of public works (Focuses on a system of services/projects intended to meet a need.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a radio or television show | examples=did you see his program last night? (Focuses on media/broadcast.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a document stating the aims and principles of a political party | examples=their candidate simply ignored the party platform (Focuses on political document/platform.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event | examples=you can't tell the players without a program (Focuses on event schedule/guide.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=an integrated course of academic studies | examples=he was admitted to a new program at the university (Focuses on academic curriculum/course.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=(computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute | examples=the program required several hundred lines of code (Focuses on code/instructions.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation | examples=the program lasted more than two hours (Focuses on a scheduled performance/show.)

4.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence refers to a "child-care program" and an "educational program." These are systems of services or projects designed to meet a specific need (child care, education).

    *   *Check Sense 1:* A series of steps/goals. (Plausible, but Sense 2 is more comprehensive for a large service structure.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* A system of projects or services intended to meet a public need. (This fits perfectly: child care is a service/project intended to meet a public need.)
    *   *Check Sense 6:* An integrated course of academic studies. (Doesn't fit "child-care" as well as Sense 2.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit.

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

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

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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "educational" is used in the sentence: "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program." The answer should be only the number of the correct sense.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "this is a child-care program, not an educational program."
    *   The word "educational" is used to describe the *type* or *nature* of the program.
    *   It contrasts the child-care program with a program focused on education.

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

4.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence is classifying a program (child-care vs. educational).
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *process* or *relation* to education (e.g., educational psychology).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *content* or *result* (providing knowledge, e.g., an educational film).

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   While "educational" often implies providing knowledge (Sense 2), in the context of classifying a program type (like a child-care program), it often refers to the *nature* or *process* of the program being discussed.
    *   However, let's re-examine the core meaning. A program is "educational" if its goal is to impart knowledge or skills.
    *   If the sentence meant "a program about how to teach," Sense 1 would be stronger.
    *   If the sentence meant "a program that teaches children," Sense 2 would be stronger.

6.  **Re-evaluating the Standard Usage:** In common usage, "educational program" primarily means a program designed to impart knowledge or instruction. This aligns strongly with Sense 2 (providing knowledge).

7.  **Final Check:**
    *   Sentence: "not an educational program." (Implies: not a program that provides knowledge.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=providing knowledge | examples=an educational film. (Fits well.)

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most direct fit for describing a program's function.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "program" (marked by `<t>program</t>`) is used in the sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program."

3.  **Examine the Context Clues:**
    *   The sentence contrasts a "child-care program" with an "educational program."
    *   The context suggests that "program" refers to an organized set of activities, services, or projects designed to achieve a specific goal (child care, education).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished | examples=they drew up a six-step plan. (Fits the idea of a structured plan/series of steps.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need | examples=he proposed an elaborate program of public works. (Fits the idea of a system/service intended to meet a need, like child care or education.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a radio or television show | examples=did you see his program last night? (Does not fit the context of child care/education.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a document stating the aims and principles of a political party | examples=their candidate simply ignored the party platform. (Does not fit the context.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event | examples=you can't tell the players without a program. (Does not fit the context.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=an integrated course of academic studies | examples=he was admitted to a new program at the university. (While related to education, the sentence is contrasting two *types* of services/systems, not defining a single course of study.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=(computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute | examples=the program required several hundred lines of code. (Does not fit the context.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation | examples=the program lasted more than two hours. (Does not fit the context.)

5.  **Compare Best Fits (Sense 1 vs. Sense 2):**
    *   The sentence uses "child-care program" and "educational program." These are systems or services designed to meet a public need (child care, education).
    *   Sense 2: definition=a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need. This is a very strong match.
    *   Sense 1: definition=a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished. This is also plausible, but Sense 2 captures the scope (system/services) better.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate definition for "child-care program" and "educational program" in this context.

    *   **3. definition=the disclosure of something secret | examples=they feared exposure of their campaign plans:** (Irrelevant - not about revealing secrets.)

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=to make better | examples=The editor improved the manuscript with his changes
2. definition=get better | examples=The weather improved toward evening

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "improve" is used in the sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling <t>improves</t> performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:**
    *   "very early exposure to schooling improves performance"
    *   The context suggests that the exposure leads to a better outcome (performance).

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=to make better | examples=The editor improved the manuscript with his changes (Focuses on the *action* of making something better.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=get better | examples=The weather improved toward evening (Focuses on the *state* of becoming better.)

4.  **Apply Senses to the Target Word ("improves"):**
    *   The sentence states that exposure *causes* performance to become better. This aligns with the idea of making something better (Sense 1) or getting better (Sense 2).
    *   Let's look at the structure: [Cause] improves [Effect].
    *   If we use Sense 1 (to make better): Exposure makes performance better. (Fits well.)
    *   If we use Sense 2 (get better): Performance gets better. (Fits well.)

5.  **Re-evaluate the Examples (Crucial Step):**
    *   Sense 1 example: "The editor improved the manuscript with his changes." (Action/making better)
    *   Sense 2 example: "The weather improved toward evening." (State/getting better)

6.  **Determine the Best Fit for the Sentence:**
    *   The sentence is about a causal relationship where one thing leads to a better state of performance. Both senses are plausible.
    *   However, in the context of academic/skill improvement (schooling/performance), "improves performance" is a very common construction.
    *   Let's check if the examples strongly differentiate them.
        *   Sense 1 focuses on the agent/action (editor *improved*).
        *   Sense 2 focuses on the state change (weather *improved*).
    *   The sentence focuses on the *result* (performance) becoming better due to the exposure. This leans slightly toward the state change (Sense 2: performance gets better).

7.  **Final Check (Standard Usage):** When discussing skills, grades, or performance, "improve" is often used in the sense of "get better" or "become better."

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 (get better) is the most appropriate fit for describing performance changing to a better state.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "performance" (from the provided list) is used in the sentence: "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves <t>performance</t> in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:**
    *   "exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade."
    *   The context relates to academic achievement, skill development, and successful execution of learning/schooling.

3.  **Analyze the Senses of "performance":**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a dramatic or musical entertainment | examples=they listened to ten different performances (Relates to shows, concerts.) -> *Does not fit the context of schooling.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of presenting a play or a piece of music or other entertainment | examples=we congratulated him on his performance at the rehearsal (Relates to presenting art/entertainment.) -> *Does not fit the context of schooling.*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it | examples=they criticised his performance as mayor (Relates to execution, successful action, or demonstrating skill/knowledge.) -> *Plausible. Schooling/learning is an act of performing knowledge.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=any recognized accomplishment | examples=they admired his performance under stress (Relates to achievement, results, or accomplishments.) -> *Plausible. Improved performance relates to an accomplishment/result.*
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=process or manner of functioning or operating | examples=the power of its engine determines its operation (Relates to how something works.) -> *Does not fit the context of schooling/learning.*

4.  **Compare Context with Plausible Senses (3 and 4):**

    *   The sentence states that schooling *improves* performance. This suggests improvement in skill/execution (Sense 3) or improvement in results/achievement (Sense 4).
    *   *Sense 3:* "the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge..." (Focuses on the *act* of learning/doing.)
    *   *Sense 4:* "any recognized accomplishment" (Focuses on the *result*.)

    *   In the context of education, "improving performance" usually refers to the successful execution of tasks or the demonstration of learned skills. Sense 3 ("the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge") is a very strong fit for how academic performance is defined.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3 is the most accurate fit for "performance" in the context of schooling and learning.

6.  **Return the Number:** 3.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "first" (marked by `<t>first</t>`) is used in the given sentence.

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

3.  **Analyze the Context of "first":** The phrase refers to a specific grade level (the initial grade) where performance is improved.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=preceding all others in time or space or degree | examples=the first house on the right (Focuses on sequence/order).
    *   Sense 2: definition=indicating the beginning unit in a series (Focuses on the start of a sequence).
    *   Sense 3: definition=serving to set in motion | examples=the magazine's inaugural issue (Focuses on initiation/catalyst).
    *   Sense 4: definition=serving to begin | examples=the beginning canto of the poem (Focuses on starting an action/event).
    *   Sense 5: definition=ranking above all others | examples=was first in her class (Focuses on superiority/ranking).
    *   Sense 6: definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano (Focuses on being the top/chief).

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence is talking about the *initial* or *starting* grade level.
    *   It is not about ranking (Sense 5) or being the highest pitch (Sense 6).
    *   It is about being the beginning unit in a sequence of grades.

6.  **Evaluate the Best Fit:**
    *   Sense 1 (preceding all others in time/space): Fits, but maybe too general.
    *   Sense 2 (indicating the beginning unit in a series): Fits very well, as "first grade" is the starting point of the educational sequence being discussed.
    *   Sense 4 (serving to begin): Also fits, but Sense 2 is more specific to the structure of a series (grades).

7.  **Conclusion:** The use of "first grade" clearly indicates the starting point or the beginning unit in the sequence of schooling. This aligns best with Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "difference" (marked with `<t>difference</t>`) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "difference":**
    *   The sentence contrasts two states: improved performance (early exposure) and the subsequent state (afterward).
    *   The core idea is that the initial positive effect is *not maintained* or *is lost*.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the quality of being unlike or dissimilar | examples=there are many differences between jazz and rock
        *   *Application:* This fits the general meaning of "difference" (being unlike).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a variation that deviates from the standard or norm | examples=the deviation from the mean
        *   *Application:* This implies a deviation from an expected standard. The sentence talks about the *effect* (performance improvement) and how that effect *changes* or *deviates* from the initial state.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a disagreement or argument about something important | examples=he had a dispute with his wife
        *   *Application:* Not applicable. The sentence is not about conflict.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a significant change | examples=the difference in her is amazing
        *   *Application:* The sentence states that the initial positive effect (the difference/improvement) is "quickly washed away." This implies a change or loss of that distinction/effect.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the number that remains after subtraction; the number that when added to the subtrahend gives the minuend
        *   *Application:* Mathematical definition. Not applicable in this context.

5.  **Compare the Best Fits (1, 2, 4):**

    *   The sentence structure is: [Initial state/improvement] -> [Subsequent state where the difference is lost].
    *   The word "difference" here refers to the *effect* or the *distinction* between the improved state and the subsequent state.
    *   Sense 4 ("a significant change") captures the idea that the *state* or *effect* changes or is lost ("is quickly washed away").
    *   Sense 1 ("the quality of being unlike or dissimilar") is too general.
    *   Sense 2 ("a variation that deviates from the standard or norm") is plausible but less direct than the idea of a change/loss of effect.

6.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "the difference is quickly washed away" strongly emphasizes that the distinction or effect is lost or changed. This aligns best with Sense 4: "a significant change."

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "education" (marked with `<t>education</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The answer should be only the number.

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

3.  **Examine the Context of "education":**
    *   "...what we do know about education..." (Referring to the concept, system, or process.)
    *   "...and about those education reforms..." (Referring to changes in the system/process.)

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill | examples=he received no formal education. (Focuses on the *activities* or *process* of teaching/learning.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=knowledge acquired by learning and instruction | examples=it was clear that he had a very broad education. (Focuses on the *knowledge* itself.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the gradual process of acquiring knowledge | examples=education is a preparation for life. (Focuses on the *process* of acquiring knowledge.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university). (Focuses on the *person* who teaches.)

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education... (Focuses on the *government agency*.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The sentence discusses "education" generally, "education reforms," and what is known about it. This points toward the concept, process, or system.
    *   Sense 1 (activities/instructing) fits well.
    *   Sense 2 (knowledge acquired) fits well.
    *   Sense 3 (gradual process of acquiring knowledge) fits well.

6.  **Refine the Match (Distinguishing 1, 2, and 3):**
    *   The phrase "education reforms" suggests changes to the system or process (Sense 1 or 3).
    *   The phrase "what we do know about education" is broad.
    *   Sense 3 ("the gradual process of acquiring knowledge") is a very common, broad definition used when discussing systems and reforms.
    *   Sense 1 ("the activities of educating or instructing") is also very relevant.

    *Let's re-read the sentence:* "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms..." This structure treats "education" as a broad concept encompassing both the process and the knowledge/activities.

    *If we look at the examples:*
    *   Sense 1 example: "he received no formal education" (Focus on the lack of activities/instruction).
    *   Sense 2 example: "he had a very broad education" (Focus on the knowledge acquired).
    *   Sense 3 example: "education is a preparation for life" (Focus on the process).

    Since the sentence is discussing *reforms* (changes to the system/process), Sense 3 (the gradual process) or Sense 1 (the activities) are strong candidates. However, Sense 3 is often the most encompassing definition when discussing the overall structure or system of education.

    *Self-Correction/Re-evaluation:* In many contexts, when discussing "reforms," the focus is on the *process* or the *system*. Sense 3 captures the idea of education as a continuous process.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3 (the gradual process of acquiring knowledge) is the most appropriate fit for discussing reforms and the general concept of education.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the gradual process of acquiring knowledge | examples=education is a preparation for life. (Focuses on the *process* of acquiring knowledge.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university). (Focuses on the *person* or *job* of teaching.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior). (Focuses on the *outcome* or *social refinement*.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=the United States federal department... (Focuses on the *government agency*.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence talks about "education reforms." This relates to the system, the process, or the knowledge structure.
    *   Sense 1 (activities/instructing) is plausible.
    *   Sense 2 (knowledge acquired) is plausible.
    *   Sense 3 (gradual process of acquiring knowledge) is highly plausible, especially when discussing reforms (changes to the process).

6.  **Re-read the Sentence for Nuance:** "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work..."
    *   The discussion is about the *concept* of education and the *effectiveness* of reforms. This leans heavily toward the process (Sense 3) or the acquired knowledge (Sense 2).

7.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   If the focus were purely on the *content* (what is learned), Sense 2 would be best.
    *   If the focus is on the *system* or the *journey* (how knowledge is acquired), Sense 3 is best.
    *   Since the sentence is about "reforms" (changes to the system/process), Sense 3 ("the gradual process of acquiring knowledge") fits very well, as reforms change the process.

8.  **Final Check:** The context is academic/societal discussion about how knowledge is transmitted and structured. Sense 3 captures the dynamic nature of education as a process.

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

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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "reform" (marked as `<t>reforms</t>`) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- 'Parental involvement 'is a bad idea.'"

3.  **Determine the Context of "reforms":** The sentence is discussing changes or alterations to the system of education ("education reforms") and evaluating their effectiveness ("do work and do not work").

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses | examples=justice was for sale before the reform of the law courts
        *   *Check against context:* Does the sentence discuss a change for the better resulting from correcting abuses? Yes, they are evaluating reforms (changes) in education.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices | examples=the reforms he proposed were too radical for the politicians
        *   *Check against context:* Does the sentence discuss a campaign aimed at correcting abuses/malpractices? It discusses evaluating the *results* of reforms, not necessarily the campaign itself, but the core idea of "reform" often involves correcting something.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=self-improvement in behavior or morals by abandoning some vice | examples=the family rejoiced in the drunkard's reform
        *   *Check against context:* Does the sentence discuss self-improvement in behavior/morals? No, it discusses educational policy.

5.  **Compare Context to Senses (Refinement):**

    *   The sentence is about evaluating changes (reforms) in education.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on "a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses." This fits the general idea of evaluating policy changes aimed at improvement.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices." This is also plausible, as educational reforms are often aimed at correcting educational abuses.

6.  **Re-evaluate the typical usage of "reform" in policy discussions:** When discussing educational or social changes, "reform" usually implies a structural change intended to improve the system (Sense 1).

7.  **Final Check:** The sentence is a summary/evaluation of educational changes. Sense 1 (a change for the better as a result of correcting abuses) is the most encompassing definition for evaluating policy changes like educational reforms.

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

The target word is "work". It appears in the phrase "do work" and "do not work".

Let's analyze the context: "...reforms that do work and do not work."
Here, "work" is used as a verb describing the effectiveness or outcome of the reforms.

I need to check the provided senses for a meaning related to "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected".

Senses review:
1. definition=exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity
2. definition=be employed
3. definition=have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected (Examples: The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought) -> This matches the context perfectly.
4. definition=perform as expected when applied
5. definition=shape, form, or improve a material
6. definition=give a workout to
7. definition=proceed along a path
8. definition=operate in a certain place, area, or specialty

20. definition=make something, usually for a specific function
21. definition=move into or onto
22. definition=make uniform
23. definition=use or manipulate to one's advantage
24. definition=find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of
25. definition=cause to undergo fermentation
26. definition=go sour or spoil
27. definition=arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion

Sense 3: definition=have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected. Example: The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought.

The sentence structure "reforms that do work and do not work" clearly aligns with the meaning of having an effect or outcome.

The user wants me to identify the numbered sense of the word "work" (marked with <t>work</t>) in the provided sentence.

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

I need to analyze the context of the word "work" in the phrase "do work and do not work".

1.  **"do work"**: This implies achieving an effect, outcome, or result.
2.  **"do not work"**: This implies failing to achieve the desired effect or outcome.

Let's review the definitions provided:

1.  definition=exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity
2.  definition=be employed
3.  definition=have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected
4.  definition=perform as expected when applied
5.  definition=shape, form, or improve a material
6.  definition=give a workout to
7.  definition=proceed along a path
8.  definition=operate in a certain place, area, or specialty
9.  definition=proceed towards a goal or along a path or through an activity
10. definition=move in an agitated manner
11. definition=cause to happen or to occur as a consequence
12. definition=cause to work
13. definition=prepare for crops
14. definition=behave in a certain way when handled
15. definition=have and exert influence or effect
16. definition=operate in or through
17. definition=cause to operate or function
18. definition=provoke or excite
19. definition=gratify and charm, usually in order to influence
20. definition=make something, usually for a specific function
21. definition=move into or onto
22. definition=make uniform
23. definition=use or manipulate to one's advantage
24. definition=find the solution to (a problem or question) or understand the meaning of
25. definition=cause to undergo fermentation
26. definition=go sour or spoil
27. definition=arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion

The phrase "do work" in the context of "reforms that do work and do not work" clearly refers to the effectiveness or outcome of those reforms.

*   Sense 3: definition=have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected. (Examples: The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought) -> This fits perfectly.
*   Sense 1: definition=exert oneself... (Doesn't fit the context of reforms working/not working).
*   Sense 15: definition=have and exert influence or effect. (Also plausible, but Sense 3 is more direct regarding the result/outcome).

The structure "do X and do not X" strongly points to the concept of achieving an effect or outcome.

Therefore, sense 3 is the correct choice.

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "the act of sharing in the activities of a group." (This fits the idea of parents participating in educational activities.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "a connection of inclusion or containment." (Doesn't fit the context.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "a sense of concern with and curiosity." (Doesn't fit the context.)
    *   *Check Sense 4:* "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship." (Doesn't fit the context.)
    *   *Check Sense 5:* "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)." (This is very close to Sense 1, but Sense 1 specifically emphasizes the *act* of sharing in *activities*.)

6.  **Refine the Match (Sense 1 vs. Sense 5):**
    *   Sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" (Focuses on participation/action).
    *   Sense 5: "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" (Focuses on the state/condition of being shared).

    In the context of "Parental involvement," the meaning is about the *action* or *participation* of parents in the educational process. Sense 1 captures this dynamic best.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit.

8.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number. (1)

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- 'Parental involvement' is a bad idea."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:** The word is "idea" in the phrase "is a bad idea."

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
        *   *Relevance Check:* This sense relates to the concept or content being discussed (Parental involvement is a concept/concept/view). The example "it was not a good idea" fits the structure of judging a concept.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher
        *   *Relevance Check:* The sentence is not about intention. (Incorrect)

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
        *   *Relevance Check:* "Parental involvement" is a concept, and calling it "bad" is expressing a personal view or judgment about that concept. This is highly relevant.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
        *   *Relevance Check:* The sentence is not about calculation or worth. (Incorrect)

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures
        *   *Relevance Check:* Not applicable. (Incorrect)

5.  **Compare the Best Fits (Sense 1 vs. Sense 3):**

    *   The structure is: [Concept] is a bad idea.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *content* of cognition (the concept itself).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *personal view* or judgment *about* that concept.

    In the context of evaluating a policy or concept ("Parental involvement"), calling it "bad" is primarily expressing a judgment or personal view. While the concept itself is involved (Sense 1), the usage here is evaluative and subjective. Sense 3 ("a personal view") is the most precise fit for the structure "X is a bad idea."

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3.

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

Sentence: Parents are too <t>likely</t> to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children.

Senses:
1. definition=has a good chance of being the case or of coming about | examples=these services are likely to be available to us all before long
2. definition=likely but not certain to be or become true or real | examples=a likely result
3. definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | examples=potential clients
4. definition=within the realm of credibility | examples=not a very likely excuse

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "likely" (marked with `<t>likely</t>`) is used in the sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

3.  **Determine the Contextual Meaning of "likely":**
    *   The sentence expresses a degree of probability or expectation regarding the parents' action (blaming schools).
    *   The structure "too [adjective] to [verb]" implies that the probability is high enough to warrant criticism or concern.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=has a good chance of being the case or of coming about | examples=these services are likely to be available to us all before long
        *   *Check against sentence:* This fits the idea of having a good chance/probability.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=likely but not certain to be or become true or real | examples=a likely result
        *   *Check against sentence:* This fits the idea of probability without certainty.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | examples=potential clients
        *   *Check against sentence:* This focuses more on expectation/prospect than probability/chance.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=within the realm of credibility | examples=not a very likely excuse
        *   *Check against sentence:* This relates to credibility, which doesn't seem central to the core meaning of the sentence.

5.  **Compare the Best Fits (Sense 1 vs. Sense 2):**
    *   The sentence states parents *are* likely to blame schools. This is a statement of probability.
    *   Sense 1: "has a good chance of being the case." (High probability)
    *   Sense 2: "likely but not certain." (Probability, but acknowledges uncertainty)

    *   In the context of "Parents are *too* likely to blame schools," the emphasis is on the high probability that this action will occur. Both 1 and 2 are plausible, but Sense 1 captures the core meaning of "having a good chance" most directly.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the most accurate definition for expressing a strong probability or chance of an event occurring.

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

Sentence: Parents are too likely to <t>blame</t> schools for the educational limitations of their children.

Senses:
1. definition=put or pin the blame on
2. definition=harass with constant criticism | examples=Don't always pick on your little brother
3. definition=attribute responsibility to | examples=We blamed the accident on her

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "blame" is used in the sentence: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Parents are too likely to blame schools..."
    *   The structure is "to blame [someone/something] for [a reason]."
    *   This implies assigning responsibility or fault to the schools.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=put or pin the blame on
    *   Sense 2: definition=harass with constant criticism | examples=Don't always pick on your little brother
    *   Sense 3: definition=attribute responsibility to | examples=We blamed the accident on her

4.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence is about assigning fault/responsibility (blaming schools for limitations).
    *   Sense 1: "put or pin the blame on" (Matches the concept of assigning fault).
    *   Sense 2: "harass with constant criticism" (Does not match the context).
    *   Sense 3: "attribute responsibility to" (Matches the concept of assigning responsibility/fault).

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sentence: Parents are too likely to *blame* schools...
    *   Sense 1: put or pin the blame on
    *   Sense 3: attribute responsibility to

    Both senses are closely related to assigning fault. However, Sense 3 ("attribute responsibility to") is a very direct synonym for the action described in the sentence (assigning fault/responsibility). Sense 1 ("put or pin the blame on") is also highly relevant.

    Let's re-read the examples provided for clarity:
    *   Sense 1 example: (Not provided, but definition is "put or pin the blame on")
    *   Sense 3 example: "We blamed the accident on her" (This is a classic example of attributing responsibility).

    The sentence structure "blame X for Y" is fundamentally about attributing responsibility (Sense 3).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the most precise fit for the meaning of assigning fault or responsibility in this context.
