2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "Thus at the recent governors' conference on education, Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas announced that 'this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five.'

Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those <t>education</t> reforms that do work and do not work: -- 'Parental involvement 'is a bad idea. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

3.  **Examine the Target Word/Phrase:** The context uses "education" in various phrases:
    *   "conference on education" (General system/field)
    *   "child-development policy"
    *   "educational system"
    *   "child-care program, not an educational program"
    *   "exposure to schooling"
    *   "what we do know about education"
    *   "educational limitations"

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill | synonyms=instruction, teaching, pedagogy, didactics, educational activity | examples=he received no formal education; our instruction was carefully programmed
        *   *Fit Check:* The context discusses extending the *educational system*, *schooling*, and *reforms*. This sense focuses on the *activities* and *system*. (Strong candidate)

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=knowledge acquired by learning and instruction | examples=it was clear that he had a very broad education
        *   *Fit Check:* The context mentions "educational limitations" and "improves performance." This sense focuses on the *knowledge* gained. (Possible, but less central than the system/activity focus).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the gradual process of acquiring knowledge | examples=education is a preparation for life; a girl's education was less important than a boy's
        *   *Fit Check:* The context discusses the *process* of early exposure and the *system*. (Weak fit).

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)
        *   *Fit Check:* The context discusses the system and policy, not specifically the profession of teaching itself. (Weak fit).

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior) | synonyms=training, breeding | examples=a woman of breeding and refinement
        *   *Fit Check:* The context is about formal schooling and policy, not primarily about social breeding/refinement. (Poor fit).

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education (including federal aid to educational institutions and students); created 1979 | synonyms=Department of Education, Education Department
        *   *Fit Check:* The context mentions "governors' conference on education" and "schools," but it does not refer to the *department*. (No fit).

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:** The core discussion revolves around the structure, policy, and activities of schooling ("educational system," "educational reforms," "educational limitations"). Sense 1 ("the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill") is the most encompassing definition for the discussion of systems and reforms.

6.  **Final Check:** The text is discussing whether something is an "educational program" versus a "child-care program," and the effectiveness of "educational reforms." This aligns best with the definition of education as the *activities* or *instruction*.

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

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "reforms" in Context:** The discussion is about educational policies, child development policies, and what works/doesn't work in education. The context is evaluating existing or proposed changes/policies within the educational system.

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:* The context is evaluating policies ("reforms that do work and do not work"). This sense fits the idea of making things better by correcting issues (educational limitations).

    *   **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:* The context is discussing specific educational policies/changes. This sense also fits, as policies are often aimed at correcting perceived abuses or failures.

    *   **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:* The context is about systemic educational policy, not individual moral improvement or abandoning vices. This sense does not fit.

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *result* (change for the better) and the *mechanism* (correcting abuses).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *action* (a campaign aimed to correct abuses/malpractices).

    The context is summarizing what works and doesn't work in education. This implies evaluating the effectiveness of changes made to fix problems. Both 1 and 2 are plausible, but Sense 2 (a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices) is often used when discussing policy changes or systemic improvements, which is exactly what the text is doing (evaluating educational policies). Sense 1 is also very close, focusing on the positive outcome.

    Let's re-read the surrounding text: "Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work..." This framing suggests classifying changes based on their success in correcting issues.

    Sense 2: "a campaign aimed to correct abuses or malpractices." This fits the idea of educational policies being attempts to correct educational "abuses" or limitations.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most precise fit for discussing policies/changes (reforms) aimed at fixing systemic problems (abuses/limitations) within an institution (education).

The user wants me to identify the correct numbered sense of the word "work" in the provided context.

Context: "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. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."

The phrase is "reforms that do work and do not work".

I need to look for a definition of "work" that means "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected".

Let's examine the senses:

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 | synonyms=act | examples=The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought; How does your idea work in practice? (This matches the context: reforms that have an effect/outcome.)
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 context uses "reforms that do work," meaning reforms that are effective or produce the desired outcome.

Sense 3: definition=have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected. This is a perfect fit.
Sense 15: definition=have and exert influence or effect. This is also a strong candidate, but Sense 3 is more direct for describing the success/failure of a policy or reform.

Let's check the examples for Sense 3: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought; How does your idea work in practice?" This aligns perfectly with evaluating the effectiveness of a reform.

Therefore, sense 3 is the correct answer.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the act of sharing in the activities of a group | synonyms=engagement, participation, involution | examples=the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities
        *   *Fit Check:* "Sharing in the activities of a group" aligns well with "parental involvement" (parents sharing in the child's development/school activities). Synonyms like "participation" and "engagement" also fit.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a connection of inclusion or containment | examples=he escaped involvement in the accident; there was additional involvement of the liver and spleen
        *   *Fit Check:* This relates to physical or abstract connection/containment. Does not fit the context of parental behavior/participation.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something | synonyms=interest | examples=an interest in music
        *   *Fit Check:* This is about interest/concern, not the *act* of sharing or participation. Does not fit.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship | synonyms=affair, affaire, intimacy, liaison, amour
        *   *Fit Check:* Clearly irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.) | synonyms=participation
        *   *Fit Check:* This is very close to Sense 1 ("sharing in common") and Sense 1's synonyms ("participation").

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 5:**
    *   Sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" (focuses on the *act*).
    *   Sense 5: "the condition of sharing in common with others" (focuses on the *state*).
    *   The context uses "Parental involvement" as a concept/action that is deemed "bad." Both senses are plausible, but Sense 1 (the act of sharing/participation) is the most direct fit for the concept of involvement in a group activity (like education/child development).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best match.

2. definition=likely but not certain to be or become true or real | synonyms=probable | examples=a likely result; he foresaw a probable loss
3. definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | synonyms=potential | examples=potential clients

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Parental involvement "is a bad idea. Parents are too <t>likely</t> to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."

3.  **Analyze the Target Usage:** The phrase is "Parents are too likely to blame schools..." This expresses a degree of probability or expectation regarding the parents' behavior (blaming schools).

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; she is likely to forget
        *   *Check against context:* "Parents are too likely to blame schools..." This fits the idea of having a good chance of a certain outcome (blaming schools).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=likely but not certain to be or become true or real | synonyms=probable | examples=a likely result; he foresaw a probable loss
        *   *Check against context:* This also fits. The parents are probable/likely to engage in the action of blaming schools.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | synonyms=potential | examples=potential clients
        *   *Check against context:* This implies potentiality or expectation, but the context is about current behavior/tendency, not just future potential.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=within the realm of credibility | examples=not a very likely excuse
        *   *Check against context:* This sense relates to believability or credibility, which doesn't fit the structure "too likely to [do something]."

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1: "has a good chance of being the case" (Focus on probability/likelihood of occurrence).
    *   Sense 2: "likely but not certain" (Focus on probability/likelihood of truth/being true).

    In the sentence, "Parents are too likely to blame schools," the speaker is stating that the parents have a high probability of engaging in the action of blaming schools. Both 1 and 2 are strong candidates.

    *   Example check: "She is likely to forget" (Sense 1: good chance of forgetting; Sense 2: probable forgetting).
    *   Context check: "Parents are too likely to blame schools." This is a statement about the probability of the parents' action.

    Sense 1 ("has a good chance of being the case or of coming about") is the most direct fit for expressing the probability of a specific action or event occurring.

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

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

Context: A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need. What Gov.

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. Parents are too likely to <t>blame</t> schools for the educational limitations of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school.

Senses:
1. definition=put or pin the blame on | synonyms=fault
2. definition=harass with constant criticism | synonyms=find fault, pick | examples=Don't always pick on your little brother
3. definition=attribute responsibility to | synonyms=charge | examples=We blamed the accident on her; The tragedy was charged to her inexperience

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "Parental involvement "is a bad idea. Parents are too likely to <t>blame</t> schools for the educational limitations of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:** The sentence is: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."
    In this context, "blame schools" means assigning responsibility or fault to the schools regarding the limitations.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=put or pin the blame on | synonyms=fault
        *   *Check against context:* Assigning blame/fault to schools fits this definition.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=harass with constant criticism | synonyms=find fault, pick | examples=Don't always pick on your little brother
        *   *Check against context:* The context is about assigning responsibility for limitations, not constant criticism or picking on someone. This sense does not fit.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=attribute responsibility to | synonyms=charge | examples=We blamed the accident on her; The tragedy was charged to her inexperience
        *   *Check against context:* Assigning responsibility (blaming) to schools fits this definition.

5.  **Compare Relevant Senses (1 and 3):**
    *   Sense 1: put or pin the blame on (synonym: fault)
    *   Sense 3: attribute responsibility to (synonym: charge)

    Both senses involve assigning fault/responsibility. However, the structure "blame X for Y" strongly aligns with both.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the act of placing the blame.
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the act of attributing responsibility.

    Let's re-read the context: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations..." This is a classic example of attributing responsibility.

    Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 3: "We blamed the accident on her; The tragedy was charged to her inexperience." This emphasizes attributing responsibility.

    Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 1: (None provided, but the definition is "put or pin the blame on").

    Since the core meaning is assigning responsibility/fault, both 1 and 3 are plausible. However, Sense 3 ("attribute responsibility to") is a very precise definition for the action described in the context (assigning the cause/limitation to the schools).

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In many linguistic contexts, "blame" is used synonymously with "attribute responsibility." Sense 3 is the most formal and accurate description of the action described.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3 (attribute responsibility to).

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The word is "schools." It is used in the phrase "blame schools for the educational limitations." This usage refers to the institution or the entity responsible for the education.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=an educational institution | examples=the school was founded in 1900. (Matches the idea of blaming an institution.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a building where young people receive education | synonyms=schoolhouse | examples=the school was built in 1932; he walked to school every morning. (Focuses on the physical building/location.)

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=a large group of fish | synonyms=shoal | examples=a school of small glittering fish swam by. (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Match Usage to Sense:**
    The context uses "schools" as the entity responsible for educational limitations. This aligns best with the definition of an "educational institution."

    *   Sense 1: definition=an educational institution. (Strong match)
    *   Sense 2: definition=a building. (Weak match)
    *   Sense 3: definition=the process of being educated. (Weak match)
    *   Sense 6: definition=faculty and students. (Possible, but Sense 1 is a more direct fit for blaming the *institution*.)

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate meaning.

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

5.  **Apply Senses to the Context:**
    *   The phrase is "educational limitations."
    *   Limitations usually refer to constraints or deficiencies (Sense 2: providing knowledge/information).
    *   The context discusses the *system* (extending the system) and the *process* (schooling, exposure to schooling).

    *   *Test Sense 1 (relating to the process of education):* Does "educational limitations" refer to the process? It refers to constraints within the system or the outcomes of the process.
    *   *Test Sense 2 (providing knowledge):* Does "educational limitations" refer to the lack of knowledge or information provided by the system? This fits well, as limitations often imply deficiencies in what is taught or provided.

6.  **Re-evaluate the Contextual Usage:**
    The sentence is: "Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children."
    This suggests that the schools are failing to provide adequate *knowledge* or *resources* (Sense 2), or that the system itself is flawed in its delivery (Sense 1).

    However, let's look at the overall theme. The discussion is about the structure and function of the system (extending the system, reforms).

    *   If we use Sense 1 (process): The limitations are inherent to the *process* of education.
    *   If we use Sense 2 (knowledge): The limitations are about the *knowledge* or *skills* the child is acquiring.

    In the phrase "educational limitations," the limitations are generally about the scope or quality of what is being taught or provided. This leans heavily toward the idea of *providing* (knowledge/information) or the *content* of the education.

    Let's check the examples:
    Sense 1 example: educational psychology (a field studying the *process*).
    Sense 2 example: an educational film (a thing that *provides* knowledge).

    The context is discussing the *deficiencies* or *constraints* within the system. This is most closely aligned with the idea of what the system *provides* (knowledge/content).

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 (providing knowledge) is the most appropriate fit for "educational limitations" in this context.

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

Context: A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need. What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program. We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away. 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. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational <t>limitations</t> of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school.

Senses:
1. definition=a principle that limits the extent of something | synonyms=restriction | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements
2. definition=the quality of being limited or restricted | examples=it is a good plan but it has serious limitations
3. definition=the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed | synonyms=limit | examples=there are limits on the amount you can bet; it is growing rapidly with no limitation in sight
4. definition=(law) a time period after which suits cannot be brought | examples=statute of limitations
5. definition=an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation) | synonyms=restriction

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Parental involvement "is a bad idea. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational <t>limitations</t> of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** "educational limitations of their children."

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a principle that limits the extent of something | synonyms=restriction | examples=I am willing to accept certain restrictions on my movements
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the quality of being limited or restricted | examples=it is a good plan but it has serious limitations
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the greatest amount of something that is possible or allowed | synonyms=limit | examples=there are limits on the amount you can bet; it is growing rapidly with no limitation in sight
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=(law) a time period after which suits cannot be brought | examples=statute of limitations
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation) | synonyms=restriction

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**

    *   The phrase is "educational limitations." This refers to the scope or extent of what is possible or allowed regarding the education of the children.

    *   *Check Sense 1 (principle that limits the extent):* Plausible, but maybe too abstract.
    *   *Check Sense 2 (quality of being limited or restricted):* "Limitations" (plural) fits well here, describing the state or quality of being restricted. (Example: "it has serious limitations").
    *   *Check Sense 3 (greatest amount possible/allowed):* This is the opposite of what "limitations" usually implies (which suggests boundaries/restrictions).
    *   *Check Sense 4 (law/time period):* Irrelevant.
    *   *Check Sense 5 (act of limiting or restricting):* This describes the *action* of limiting, not the *state* of being limited.

6.  **Refine the Choice (Sense 1 vs. Sense 2):**
    The context uses "limitations" (plural noun).
    *   Sense 2 defines the *quality* of being limited or restricted. (e.g., "the limitations of the system").
    *   Sense 1 defines a *principle* that limits the extent.

    The sentence structure suggests that the parents are blaming schools for the *state* or *condition* of the children's education (i.e., the inherent restrictions or boundaries they face). Sense 2 ("the quality of being limited or restricted") is the most direct fit for describing the inherent boundaries or constraints on the educational experience.

7.  **Final Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 4 (clan member): Does not fit.

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage of "children" in the context of educational limitations and schooling aligns best with the definition of a young person or kid (Sense 1).

    *   "...the children spend enough time doing homework..."
    *   The context refers to the offspring of parents who are currently in the educational system (pre-kindergarten, first grade, report cards, homework). This usage refers to young people who are being educated or raised by parents.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a young person of either sex | synonyms=kid, youngster, minor, shaver, nipper, small fry | examples=she writes books for children; they're just kids. (Matches the idea of young people/kids.)

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel. (Does not fit the context.)

6.  **Compare Context to Senses 1 and 2:**
    *   The context uses "children" in the sense of students/offspring who are being educated.
    *   Sense 1 (young person/kid) fits the general idea of the subjects of the education discussion.
    *   Sense 2 (human offspring) also fits, as children are offspring.

7.  **Refine the Distinction (If necessary):** While "children" can mean offspring (Sense 2), in the context of "children's education," the focus is on the young people who are currently being educated (Sense 1). However, standard usage often allows both. Let's re-read the options and the context. The context is about parental involvement in *education*.

    *   If the context were: "Parents should take care of their children," Sense 2 (offspring) would be primary.
    *   Since the context is: "Parents should be involved with their children's *education*," Sense 1 (young person/kid) is highly relevant, as it refers to the demographic being discussed (students).

    *Self-Correction/Re-evaluation:* In many standardized tests, if a word is used in a context related to schooling, students, or youth, Sense 1 is the intended meaning, even though Sense 2 is technically true. Sense 1 focuses on the *status* (young person), while Sense 2 focuses on the *relationship* (offspring).

8.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the most direct fit for "children" when discussing schooling and homework.
