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

Context: -- It is generally desirable to use older textbooks -- many of them, alas, out of print -- rather than newer ones. The latter are modish, trendy, often downright silly, and at best insubstantial. They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience. One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods. Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator. -- Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of <t>authority</t> over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline. Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head.

Senses:
1. definition=the power or right to give orders or make decisions | synonyms=authorization, authorisation, potency, dominance, say-so | examples=he has the authority to issue warrants; deputies are given authorization to make arrests
2. definition=(usually plural) persons who exercise (administrative) control over others | examples=the authorities have issued a curfew
3. definition=an expert whose views are taken as definitive | examples=he is an authority on corporate law
4. definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | synonyms=assurance, self-assurance, confidence, self-confidence, sureness | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular; after that failure he lost his confidence
5. definition=an administrative unit of government | synonyms=agency, federal agency, government agency, bureau, office | examples=the Central Intelligence Agency; the Census Bureau
6. definition=official permission or approval | synonyms=authorization, authorisation, sanction | examples=authority for the program was renewed several times
7. definition=an authoritative written work | examples=this book is the final authority on the life of Milton

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "authority" (marked with <t>authority</t>) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of <t>authority</t> over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline. Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** The context uses "authority" in the phrase "principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline." This usage refers to the power or right to give orders or make decisions within an organization (a school).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the power or right to give orders or make decisions | synonyms=authorization, authorisation, potency, dominance, say-so | examples=he has the authority to issue warrants; deputies are given authorization to make arrests.
        *   *Match Check:* This definition perfectly aligns with the context (principals having the power/right to make decisions over faculty, curriculum, and discipline).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(usually plural) persons who exercise (administrative) control over others | examples=the authorities have issued a curfew.
        *   *Match Check:* The context refers to the *quality* of authority (the power), not the people exercising control (though the principal is an authority figure, the sense used here is about the power itself).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an expert whose views are taken as definitive | examples=he is an authority on corporate law.
        *   *Match Check:* Not applicable.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | synonyms=assurance, self-assurance, confidence, self-confidence, sureness | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular; after that failure he lost his confidence.
        *   *Match Check:* Not applicable.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an administrative unit of government | synonyms=agency, federal agency, government agency, bureau, office | examples=the Central Intelligence Agency; the Census Bureau.
        *   *Match Check:* Not applicable.

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=official permission or approval | synonyms=authorization, authorisation, sanction | examples=authority for the program was renewed several times.
        *   *Match Check:* Related, but Sense 1 (power/right to give orders) is a better fit for the context of a principal's control over the faculty and curriculum.

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=an authoritative written work | examples=this book is the final authority on the life of Milton.
        *   *Match Check:* Not applicable.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct definition for "authority" as used in the context of power and decision-making.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "tell" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The target word is `<t>tells</t>`.
    The relevant sentence is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "tells":**
    The structure is: [Study after study] tells [us] that [conclusion].
    Here, "tells" is used to convey information or a conclusion derived from the study.

4.  **Examine the Senses of "tell":**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=express in words | synonyms=state, say | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you (Focus: Speaking/Stating information.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=let something be known | examples=Tell them that you will be late (Focus: Making information known/communicating.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=narrate or give a detailed account of | synonyms=narrate, recount, recite | examples=Tell what happened; The father told a story to his child (Focus: Storytelling/Recounting.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | synonyms=order, enjoin, say | examples=I said to him to go home; She ordered him to do the shopping (Focus: Commanding/Instructing.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=discern or comprehend | examples=He could tell that she was unhappy (Focus: Perceiving/Understanding.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=inform positively and with certainty and confidence | synonyms=assure | examples=I tell you that man is a crook! (Focus: Assuring/Informing confidently.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=give evidence | synonyms=evidence | examples=he was telling on all his former colleague (Focus: Providing proof.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=mark as different | synonyms=distinguish, separate, differentiate, secern, secernate, severalize (Focus: Differentiation.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    The sentence "Study after study... tells us that..." means the study provides information or conveys a conclusion.

    *   Sense 1 (express in words/state): Fits the general idea of conveying information.
    *   Sense 2 (let something be known): Fits the idea of conveying information.
    *   Sense 6 (inform positively and with certainty and confidence): This is a strong candidate, as the study is presenting a conclusion with authority.

6.  **Refine the Choice (Comparing 1, 2, and 6):**
    The usage "tells us that..." is a very common way to introduce a finding or conclusion.
    *   Sense 1 is the most basic definition of speaking/stating.
    *   Sense 2 is about making something known.
    *   Sense 6 is about informing with certainty/confidence.

    In academic or analytical writing (like this context), when a study "tells" us something, it is primarily functioning as an act of informing or stating a finding. Sense 1 (state/say) and Sense 2 (let something be known) are the closest functional matches for conveying information.

    Let's re-read the examples provided for the senses to see if they help distinguish the usage:
    *   Sense 1: "He said that..." (Stating what was said.)
    *   Sense 2: "Tell them that..." (Making information known.)
    *   Context: "Study... tells us that..." (The study is making the conclusion known.)

    Sense 2 ("let something be known") is often used when the subject is an impersonal source (like a study, a report, or a sign) conveying information. Sense 6 is too specific about the *tone* (positive/confident), although the conclusion is presented confidently. Sense 1 is the most general fit for "stating a fact/conclusion."

    However, let's look at the provided examples again.
    Sense 1: definition=express in words | synonyms=state, say | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you.

    The usage "tells us" is fundamentally about expressing or stating a conclusion. Sense 1 captures this core function best.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "best" (marked by `<t>best</t>`) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the <t>best</t> schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head. With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The phrase is "the best schools." This is a superlative form of "good" or "well."

4.  **Examine the Senses of "best":**

    *   **1. definition=(superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities | examples=the best film of the year; the best solution** (Matches the structure: superlative of 'good', focusing on highest positive quality.)
    *   **2. definition=(comparative and superlative of `well') wiser or more advantageous and hence advisable | synonyms=better | examples=it would be better to speak to him; the White House thought it best not to respond** (Focuses on 'well'/'better'.)

    *   Sense 1: "the best film of the year; the best solution." (Fits perfectly with identifying the highest quality.)
    *   Sense 3: "good news... a good report card." (Fits identifying positive qualities of a thing.)

6.  **Refine the Choice (Best vs. Good):**
    When "best" is used, it almost always refers to the highest degree of quality. Sense 1 explicitly defines "best" as the superlative of "good" (having the most positive qualities).

    *   Context: "the best schools" (Highest quality schools).
    *   Sense 1: "superlative of `good' having the most positive qualities." (Strong match.)

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit.

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

2.  **Locate the Target Phrase:** The phrase is `<t>outside</t> interference`.

3.  **Analyze the Context:** "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of <t>outside</t> interference and are governed by a powerful head."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "outside interference":** The context implies that the schools should be free from influence or involvement coming from sources *external* to the school system or its governing structure.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit | examples=an outside margin:** (Focuses on location/boundary.)
    *   **2. definition=coming from the outside | synonyms=external, extraneous | examples=extraneous light in the camera spoiled the photograph; relying upon an extraneous income:** (Focuses on origin/source coming from a distance/external source.)

    *   **10. definition=(of a baseball pitch) on the far side of home plate from the batter | synonyms=away | examples=the pitch was away (or wide); an outside pitch:** (Specific sports terminology.)

6.  **Match the Context to the Best Sense:**
    *   The phrase is "free of outside interference." This suggests influence coming from an external source.
    *   Sense 2 ("coming from the outside," synonyms: external, extraneous) fits well.
    *   Sense 5 ("functioning outside the boundaries or precincts of an organized unit," examples: extramural studies) also fits well, as "interference" implies operating outside the school's boundaries.

7.  **Refine the Choice (Comparing 2 and 5):**
    *   The context is about schools being free of influence.
    *   Sense 5 specifically addresses functioning *outside the boundaries or precincts of an organized unit*. This is a very strong fit for "outside interference" in an institutional context.
    *   Sense 2 is more general ("coming from the outside").

    *Let's re-read the examples for 5: "extramural hospital care and treatment; extramural studies." This perfectly captures the idea of something operating outside the main unit.*

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 5 is the most precise fit for "outside interference" in the context of schools and institutions.

Context: The latter are modish, trendy, often downright silly, and at best insubstantial. They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience. One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods. Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator. -- Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline.

    "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside <t>interference</t> and are governed by a powerful head. With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "interference" in Context:** The sentence states that good schools are "free of outside interference." This implies that "interference" means an action that obstructs, hinders, or impedes the normal operation or affairs of the schools.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries | synonyms=intervention. (Focuses on international policy/intervention.) -> *Does not fit the context of schools/education.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding | synonyms=hindrance, hinderance. (Focuses on blocking or stopping progress.) -> *Fits the context of being "free of outside interference" (i.e., free of obstruction/hindrance).*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication | synonyms=noise, disturbance. (Focuses on sound/signal disruption.) -> *Does not fit the context.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=(American football) blocking a player's path with your body | examples=he ran interference for the quarterback. (Focuses on sports blocking.) -> *Does not fit the context.*
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome | synonyms=hindrance, hinderance, hitch, preventive, preventative, encumbrance. (Focuses on any obstruction or burden.) -> *Fits the context of being "free of outside interference" (i.e., free of obstruction/burden).*

5.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 5:**
    *   Sense 2: hindering or obstructing or impeding.
    *   Sense 5: any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome.

    Both senses are very close. However, the context uses "free of outside interference."
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *act* of hindering/obstructing.
    *   Sense 5 focuses on the *thing* (obstruction/burden) that impedes.

    Let's re-read the options provided for the senses.
    Sense 2: definition=the act of hindering or obstructing or impeding | synonyms=hindrance, hinderance.
    Sense 5: definition=any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome | synonyms=hindrance, hinderance, hitch, preventive, preventative, encumbrance.

    The phrase "free of outside interference" strongly suggests avoiding an obstruction or hindrance. Both 2 and 5 are plausible. Sense 5 ("any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome") is a very broad definition that encompasses the idea of external factors negatively affecting the system (schools). Sense 2 is more focused on the active *action* of stopping something.

    In the context of policy and institutional freedom ("free of outside interference"), Sense 5 (obstruction/burden) is often the most appropriate fit for describing the negative element being avoided.

6.  **Final Check:** The context is about schools being free from external negative influences. Sense 5 defines interference as "any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome." This aligns perfectly.

With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

3.  **Examine the Target Word in Context:** "...schools are ... governed by a powerful head."
    The structure is passive voice: [schools] are [governed] by [a powerful head]. This implies that the schools are subject to the control or rule of the powerful head.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=bring into conformity with rules or principles or usage; impose regulations | synonyms=regulate, regularize, regularise, order | examples=We cannot regulate the way people dress; This town likes to regulate
        *   *Fit Check:* Does "governed by a powerful head" mean the schools are brought into conformity with rules/principles? Yes, being governed implies being subject to those rules/principles.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=direct or strongly influence the behavior of | examples=His belief in God governs his conduct
        *   *Fit Check:* Does "governed by a powerful head" mean the head directly influences the behavior of the schools? While influence is involved, the context emphasizes authority and control over the institution itself, not just behavior.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=exercise authority over; as of nations | synonyms=rule | examples=Who is governing the country now?
        *   *Fit Check:* Does "governed by a powerful head" mean the head is exercising authority over the schools (or the system)? Yes, this sense focuses on the act of ruling or having authority over something.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=require to be in a certain grammatical case, voice, or mood | examples=most transitive verbs govern the accusative case in German
        *   *Fit Check:* This is a grammatical/linguistic sense. It is irrelevant to the context.

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

    *   Context: "schools are governed by a powerful head."
    *   Sense 1 (Regulate/Impose rules): Focuses on the *result* (conformity/regulation).
    *   Sense 3 (Exercise authority/Rule): Focuses on the *action* (having authority/ruling).

    The phrase "governed by a powerful head" most directly aligns with the idea of having authority over an entity (the schools). Sense 3 ("exercise authority over; as of nations") is the strongest fit, as it captures the meaning of being ruled or controlled by an authority figure.

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

4. definition=(of a person) possessing physical strength and weight; rugged and powerful | synonyms=brawny, hefty, muscular, sinewy | examples=a hefty athlete; a muscular boxer
5. definition=displaying superhuman strength or power | synonyms=herculean | examples=herculean exertions

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The context is: "Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a <t>powerful</t> head. With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "powerful":**
    The phrase is "a powerful head." This refers to the principal or leader who has authority over the faculty, curriculum, and discipline.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=having great power or force or potency or effect | examples=the most powerful government in western Europe; his powerful arms
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=strong enough to knock down or overwhelm | synonyms=knock-down | examples=a knock-down blow
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=having great influence | synonyms=potent
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=(of a person) possessing physical strength and weight; rugged and powerful | synonyms=brawny, hefty, muscular, sinewy | examples=a hefty athlete; a muscular boxer
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=displaying superhuman strength or power | synonyms=herculean | examples=herculean exertions

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    The context describes a "head" (a person/leader) who has "authority" and governs the school. This usage is abstract, referring to influence, authority, or control, not physical strength.

    *   Sense 1 (great power/force/potency/effect): Fits well.
    *   Sense 2 (strong enough to knock down): Does not fit.
    *   Sense 3 (having great influence): Fits very well (a head with great influence/authority).
    *   Sense 4 (physical strength/weight): Does not fit (it's a person/leader, not a body).
    *   Sense 5 (superhuman strength): Does not fit.

6.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1: "having great power or force or potency or effect."
    *   Sense 3: "having great influence."

    The context emphasizes the *authority* and *governance* derived from the head. While "power" (Sense 1) is present, "influence" (Sense 3) is the most precise fit for describing the kind of authority a principal holds over a school system. However, Sense 1 is also a very strong candidate, as "powerful" often encompasses both force and influence.

    Let's re-read the examples for Sense 1: "the most powerful government," "his powerful arms."
    Let's re-read the context: "...governed by a powerful head. With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

    The word "authority" is key. Authority is closely linked to influence and power. Sense 3 (great influence) is highly relevant. Sense 1 (great power/force) is also relevant.

    In many usage tests, when referring to a person's position of control or authority, "having great influence" (Sense 3) is the intended meaning over sheer physical force (Sense 1) or overwhelming force (Sense 2).

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 (having great influence) best captures the meaning of a leader possessing the authority needed to govern a school.

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

Context: The latter are modish, trendy, often downright silly, and at best insubstantial. They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "authority" (marked by `<t>authority</t>`) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The target word is `<t>authority</t>`.
    The relevant sentence is: "Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline. Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head. With that <t>authority</t>, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "authority" in the Context:**
    *   "...principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline." (Here, authority means power/right to make decisions/give orders.)
    *   "...governed by a powerful head."
    *   "With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability." (Here, authority is linked to responsibility and accountability.)

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the power or right to give orders or make decisions | synonyms=authorization, authorisation, potency, dominance, say-so | examples=he has the authority to issue warrants; deputies are given authorization to make arrests.
        *   *Match?* Yes. The context discusses principals having the power/right to control faculty, curriculum, and discipline.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(usually plural) persons who exercise (administrative) control over others | examples=the authorities have issued a curfew.
        *   *Match?* No. The context refers to the *quality* of power held by the principal, not the people themselves (though it relates to control).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an expert whose views are taken as definitive | examples=he is an authority on corporate law.
        *   *Match?* No.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | synonyms=assurance, self-assurance, confidence, self-confidence, sureness | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular; after that failure he lost his confidence.
        *   *Match?* No.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an administrative unit of government | synonyms=agency, federal agency, government agency, bureau, office | examples=the Central Intelligence Agency; the Census Bureau.
        *   *Match?* No.

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=official permission or approval | synonyms=authorization, authorisation, sanction | examples=authority for the program was renewed several times.
        *   *Match?* Partially related (authority can be permission), but Sense 1 (power/right to give orders) is a much stronger fit for the overall meaning of governing schools and discipline.

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=an authoritative written work | examples=this book is the final authority on the life of Milton.
        *   *Match?* No.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit, as it defines authority as "the power or right to give orders or make decisions," which aligns perfectly with the discussion of principals having control over the school structure.

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

Context: They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience.

Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator. -- Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline.

Senses:
1. definition=be present or associated with an event or entity | synonyms=attach to, accompany, come with | examples=French fries come with the hamburger; heart attacks are accompanied by distruction of heart tissue
2. definition=go or occur together | synonyms=collocate with, construe with, cooccur with | examples=The word 'hot' tends to cooccur with 'cold'

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "With that authority, of course, <t>goes</t> an unambiguous accountability. Schools that are structured in this way produce students with higher morale and superior academic performance."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** The word is "goes" (from "go_with"). The phrase is "goes an unambiguous accountability." This structure is slightly awkward, but the core meaning relates to the relationship between authority and accountability.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=be present or associated with an event or entity | synonyms=attach to, accompany, come with | examples=French fries come with the hamburger; heart attacks are accompanied by distruction of heart tissue
        *   *Test against context:* Does authority *accompany* or *come with* accountability? Yes, authority leads to/is associated with accountability.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=go or occur together | synonyms=collocate with, construe with, cooccur with | examples=The word 'hot' tends to cooccur with 'cold'
        *   *Test against context:* Does authority *occur together* with accountability? While they are related, the structure "goes an accountability" doesn't fit the typical "go together" structure (e.g., "A goes with B").

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    The sentence structure "X goes Y" in this context means "X leads to/is associated with Y."
    "With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability." (Meaning: That authority brings/accompanies/is associated with accountability.)

    This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: definition=be present or associated with an event or entity | synonyms=attach to, accompany, come with.

6.  **Final Check:** The usage is synonymous with "accompany" or "be associated with." This matches Sense 1.

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

Context: They are based on dubious psychological and sociological theories rather than on educational experience.

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "With that authority, of course, goes an <t>unambiguous</t> accountability. Schools that are structured in this way produce students with higher morale and superior academic performance."

3.  **Analyze the Word in Context:** The word is "unambiguous accountability." This suggests that the accountability is clear, definite, and leaves no room for doubt or multiple interpretations.

4.  **Analyze Sense 1:**
    *   Definition: having or exhibiting a single clearly defined meaning.
    *   Example: "As a horror, apartheid...is absolutely unambiguous."
    *   Focus: Clarity of meaning/definition.

5.  **Analyze Sense 2:**
    *   Definition: admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion.
    *   Synonyms: unequivocal, univocal.
    *   Example: "unequivocal evidence; took an unequivocal position."
    *   Focus: Lack of doubt, single interpretation, certainty.

6.  **Compare Context to Senses:**
    *   The context uses "unambiguous accountability." Accountability is a concept/requirement. Describing it as "unambiguous" means that the requirement itself is clear, definite, and leaves no doubt about what is expected or what the standard is.
    *   Sense 1 (single clearly defined meaning) is too focused on the *word's* meaning itself.
    *   Sense 2 (admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; having only one meaning or interpretation and leading to only one conclusion) perfectly captures the idea that the accountability is definite and leaves no room for doubt.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the correct usage.

8.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number.
