Context: But what do we mean, specifically, by "creativity "? No one can say. In practice, it ends up being equated with a "self-expression "that encourages the youngsters' "self-esteem. "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves. The whole notion of "creativity "in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as "authoritarian, "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children.

3. definition=not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic | synonyms=quixotic, wild-eyed | examples=as quixotic as a restoration of medieval knighthood; a romantic disregard for money

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "The whole notion of "creativity "in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as "authoritarian, "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children. It is not surprising that parents find this <t>romantic</t> extravagance so attractive."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "romantic":**
    The word is used in the phrase "a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction." It also describes an "extravagance" that parents find attractive. The context is discussing a philosophical/educational movement (creativity in education) that rebels against strict, authoritarian instruction, focusing on "latent talents" and "potentialities."

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=belonging to or characteristic of Romanticism or the Romantic Movement in the arts | synonyms=romanticist, romanticistic | examples=romantic poetry
        *   *Relevance Check:* The text explicitly discusses a "romantic rebellion." This sense relates to the historical/artistic movement (Romanticism).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=expressive of or exciting sexual love or romance | synonyms=amatory, amorous | examples=her amatory affairs; amorous glances
        *   *Relevance Check:* The text does not discuss sexual love or romance. (Not relevant).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic | synonyms=quixotic, wild-eyed | examples=as quixotic as a restoration of medieval knighthood; a romantic disregard for money
        *   *Relevance Check:* The text discusses a rebellion against "disciplined instruction" and the pursuit of "latent talents and wonderful potentialities," which aligns with an idealistic or unrealistic view of education/society. The phrase "romantic rebellion" fits the idea of being idealistic or disregarding conventional structure.

5.  **Compare and Select the Best Fit:**

    *   The core meaning of "romantic rebellion" in this context is a movement or attitude characterized by the ideals of Romanticism (Sense 1) and often involves an idealistic disregard for strict, practical rules (Sense 3).
    *   However, the context is deeply rooted in the *idea* of Romanticism as a movement against authoritarianism.
    *   Let's re-read the structure: "a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction." This links the concept directly to the movement itself (Sense 1).

    *   Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 3: "a romantic disregard for money." This shows Sense 3 is applicable to idealistic disregard.

    *   The context is about a philosophical/educational movement. Sense 1 defines the movement itself. Sense 3 defines the *quality* of the rebellion (idealistic/unrealistic).

    *   In academic usage, when discussing a "romantic rebellion," Sense 1 (belonging to Romanticism) is the primary definition, but Sense 3 (idealistic/unrealistic) describes the *nature* of that rebellion.

    *   Let's check the provided examples again. Sense 1 is about the movement/arts. Sense 3 is about idealism/unrealism. The text is discussing an idealistic view of education.

    *   If the text were "They had a romantic affair," it would be Sense 2.
    *   If the text were "They were romantic about money," it would be Sense 3.
    *   Since the text is about a "rebellion" and "potentialities," it is describing an idealistic, non-practical stance.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While the rebellion is *characteristic* of Romanticism (Sense 1), the *action* described (rebellion against discipline, focusing on latent potential) is best captured by the *attitude* of being idealistic and unrealistic (Sense 3). The context is less about the art movement and more about the philosophical stance.

6.  **Final Decision:** Sense 3 captures the essence of the *attitude* being described (idealistic, unrealistic rebellion against convention).

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify the correct numbered sense of the word "so" (marked with `<t>so</t>`) in the provided context and return only the number.

    Context: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance <t>so</t> attractive. Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "so":** The phrase is "so attractive." This structure indicates a degree or extent of attractiveness.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   Sense 1: definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious; never been so happy (Matches the idea of degree/extent.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=in a manner that facilitates | examples=he observed the snakes so he could describe their behavior (Incorrect.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied | examples=They're happy and I hope they will remain so (Incorrect.)
    *   Sense 4: definition=to a certain unspecified extent or degree | examples=I can only go so far with this student; can do only so much in a day (Matches the idea of degree/extent.)
    *   Sense 5: definition=in the same way; also | examples=I was offended and so was he (Incorrect.)
    *   Sense 6: definition=in the way indicated; ; ; (Incorrect.)
    *   Sense 7: definition=(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed | examples=he was so tired he could hardly stand; so dirty that it smells (Matches the idea of extent/degree, often followed by 'that'.)
    *   Sense 8: definition=subsequently or soon afterward (Incorrect.)
    *   Sense 9: definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result (Incorrect.)
    *   Sense 10: definition=in truth (often tends to intensify) | examples=they said the car would break down and indeed it did (Incorrect.)

5.  **Compare Relevant Senses (1, 4, 7):**
    The usage is "so attractive."
    *   Sense 1: "so obvious" (degree)
    *   Sense 4: "can only go so far" (extent/degree)
    *   Sense 7: "so tired that..." (extent/degree, often followed by 'that')

    In the context "find this romantic extravagance so attractive," "so" functions as an intensifier indicating a high degree or extent of attractiveness. Both 1, 4, and 7 fit the general category of degree.

    *   Sense 1: "to a very great extent or degree"
    *   Sense 4: "to a certain unspecified extent or degree"
    *   Sense 7: "to an extent or degree as expressed (usually followed by 'that')"

    Sense 1 is a strong fit for expressing a high degree ("so attractive"). Sense 4 is also a good fit. Sense 7 is usually used when followed by a clause (e.g., "so beautiful that..."). Since "so attractive" stands alone, Sense 1 or Sense 4 are the most direct fits.

    Let's re-read the examples for 1 and 4.
    1: "the idea is so obvious" (High degree)
    4: "I can only go so far" (Limit/extent)

    The context implies that the parents find the extravagance attractive to a high degree. Sense 1 ("to a very great extent or degree") captures this intensity well.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate definition for expressing a high degree or extent.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The word is "attractive" in the sentence: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so <t>attractive</t>."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Usage:**
    The sentence describes parents finding a "romantic extravagance" attractive. This suggests an emotional, appealing, or pleasing quality that draws them in or makes them want it.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm | examples=a remarkably attractive young man; an attractive personality
        *   *Check against context:* Finding something "attractive" (in the sense of pleasing to the mind/charm) fits well with finding a "romantic extravagance" appealing.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=having power to arouse interest | examples=an attractive opportunity; the job is attractive because of the pay
        *   *Check against context:* This sense focuses on drawing interest or engagement. This is plausible, but Sense 1 (pleasing/charming) often overlaps with the emotional appeal of "romantic extravagance."

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=having the properties of a magnet; the ability to draw or pull | examples=an attractive force
        *   *Check against context:* This is a physical/magnetic pull. This does not fit the abstract concept of finding an "extravagance" appealing.

4.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** The word "same" modifies "parents."

    *   Sense 1 (Identity): Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 2 (Similar/Comparable in kind/quality): Fits well. They are similar in their shared goal/attitude.
    *   Sense 3 (Equal amount/value): Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 4 (Unchanged): Doesn't fit.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most appropriate fit, as it deals with similarity in quality or shared characteristics.

4.  **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
        *   *Fit:* This sense focuses on the age/status (young person). The context discusses "young people," "youngsters," "adolescent illiteracy," and "children" in the sense of young people who are developing. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age | synonyms=kid | examples=they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college
        *   *Fit:* The context uses "children" in a broader sense (a generation, a group of young people), not strictly limited to offspring. However, the context also mentions "parents" wanting their "children" to get an education, which strongly links to offspring.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an immature childish person | synonyms=baby | examples=he remained a child in practical matters as long as he lived; stop being a baby!
        *   *Fit:* The context does not use "children" in the sense of an immature person or a baby.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel
        *   *Fit:* The context does not refer to a clan or tribe.

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    The passage discusses the *potentialities* and *talents* of "all our children" and the need for them to receive an education. While "children" can mean offspring (Sense 2), the overall tone and usage ("young people," "adolescent illiteracy," "latent talents") align most closely with the sense of "a young person."

    *   *Re-evaluating the usage:* "potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children." This refers to the inherent qualities of young people. "Their commitment to 'creativity' can not survive adolescent illiteracy." This refers to the group of young people.

    *   Sense 1 (a young person) captures the focus on youth, development, and the group being discussed.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit for the context.

3.  **Locate the Target Word and its Context:** The word is "decent" in the phrase: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "decent education":** The parents want the children to receive an education that is "as traditionally understood." This implies an education that adheres to standards, propriety, or conventional expectations, rather than just being adequate (sufficient) or merely nice.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous | synonyms=nice | examples=from a decent family; a nice girl. (Focuses on moral/social correctness and refinement.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=according with custom or propriety | synonyms=becoming, comely, comme il faut, decorous, seemly | examples=her becoming modesty; comely behavior. (Focuses on conforming to established rules/customs/propriety.)

    The context refers to an "education as traditionally understood." This strongly suggests adherence to established standards, propriety, and conventional norms (how an education *should* be).

    *   Sense 1 (socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous) fits well with the idea of a proper, high-quality, or morally sound education.
    *   Sense 2 (according with custom or propriety) fits the idea of conforming to traditional educational customs.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 1 is plausible, Sense 2 is a more direct fit for "according with custom or propriety," which governs how an institution (like an education system) should operate traditionally.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 emphasizes adherence to custom and propriety, which aligns perfectly with the idea of a "traditionally understood" education.

3.  **Examine the Usage of "education" in the Context:**
    *   The text discusses:
        *   Self-expression and self-esteem.

    *   **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:* This sense deals with the *activities* and *instruction* (disciplined instruction vs. creativity). This is highly relevant.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=knowledge acquired by learning and instruction | examples=it was clear that he had a very broad education
        *   *Fit:* This is about the *knowledge* gained. Relevant, but Sense 1 focuses more on the *process* and *system* being debated.

    *   **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:* This is about the *process* of acquiring knowledge. Relevant, but Sense 1 captures the broader scope of the debate (instruction vs. self-expression).

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)
        *   *Fit:* Not directly about the concept of education itself, but the *person* who delivers it. Less likely.

    *   **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:* This focuses on social behavior/upbringing. While related to "decent education," the context is more focused on intellectual/creative development and formal instruction.

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education...
        *   *Fit:* Completely irrelevant.

5.  **Conclusion:** The context is debating the nature of instruction, discipline, and formal learning ("disciplined instruction," "traditional understanding"). Sense 1, which defines education as the *activities of educating or instructing*, best captures the scope of the discussion.

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "In practice, it ends up being equated with a 'self-expression 'that encourages the youngsters' 'self-esteem.' The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves. The whole notion of 'creativity 'in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as 'authoritarian, 'a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children. It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive. Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands. Their <t>commitment</t> to 'creativity 'can not survive adolescent illiteracy. American education's future will be determined by the degree to which we -- all of us -- allow this common sense to prevail over the illusions that we also share."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "commitment" in Context:**
    The sentence is: "Their commitment to 'creativity 'can not survive adolescent illiteracy."
    Here, "commitment" refers to the parents' dedication, resolve, or dedication to supporting or valuing creativity in education. It is a steadfast adherence to a belief or course of action.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose | synonyms=committedness | examples=a man of energy and commitment
        *   *Match Check:* This sense involves a "steadfast fixity of purpose." This aligns well with parents' dedication to a value (creativity).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action | synonyms=allegiance, loyalty, dedication | examples=his long commitment to public service; they felt no loyalty to a losing team
        *   *Match Check:* This sense involves "binding yourself... to a course of action" and "dedication." This also aligns very well with the context (parents' dedication to creativity).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an engagement by contract involving financial obligation | examples=his business commitments took him to London
        *   *Match Check:* Not relevant. The commitment here is not financial.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a message that makes a pledge | synonyms=dedication
        *   *Match Check:* Not relevant. It is not a message or pledge.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the official act of consigning a person to confinement (as in a prison or mental hospital) | synonyms=committal, consignment
        *   *Match Check:* Not relevant.

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1: fixity of purpose (focus on the internal state/trait).
    *   Sense 2: binding oneself to a course of action/dedication (focus on the action/loyalty).

    The phrase "Their commitment to 'creativity'" strongly suggests a dedication or loyalty to a principle. Both 1 and 2 are plausible, but Sense 2 ("the act of binding yourself... to a course of action," synonyms: allegiance, loyalty, dedication) is perhaps the most direct fit for expressing dedication to an idea or cause. Sense 1 is also very close (steadfast fixity of purpose).

    Let's re-read the synonyms for Sense 2: allegiance, loyalty, dedication. The context speaks of parents' desire/resolve regarding education. This fits the idea of dedication/loyalty to a cause.

    Let's re-read the synonyms for Sense 1: committedness. This is also a strong fit.

    In many usage contexts, "commitment" is used to mean dedication/loyalty (Sense 2).

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Both 1 and 2 are strong candidates. However, Sense 2 explicitly includes "dedication" and "loyalty," which perfectly capture the emotional/moral investment implied by parents advocating for creativity.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 is the most precise fit for the meaning of dedication/loyalty to a course of action/belief.

4. definition=live longer than | synonyms=outlive, outlast | examples=She outlived her husband by many years

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Their commitment to "creativity "can not <t>survive</t> adolescent illiteracy."

3.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** "survive adolescent illiteracy."

4.  **Analyze the Options (Senses):**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=continue to live through hardship or adversity | synonyms=last, live, live on, go, endure, hold up | examples=We went without water and food for 3 days; These superstitions survive in the backwaters of America
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.) | synonyms=pull through, pull round, come through, make it | examples=He survived the cancer against all odds

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=live longer than | synonyms=outlive, outlast | examples=She outlived her husband by many years

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

    *   The sentence structure is: [Commitment] cannot [survive] [illiteracy].
    *   "Survive" here means "to continue to exist/last/endure despite a challenge."

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "continue to live through hardship or adversity." (Fits well. Illiteracy is an adversity.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)." (Fits very well. The commitment must continue to exist despite the problem of illiteracy.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "support oneself." (Does not fit. The commitment isn't supporting itself; it's enduring a condition.)
    *   *Check Sense 4:* "live longer than." (Does not fit. Illiteracy is not a lifespan.)

6.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on enduring hardship.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on continuing existence/pulling through.
    *   In the context of an idea or commitment ("creativity"), the meaning is that the idea must persist or continue to exist despite the negative factor (illiteracy). Sense 2 ("continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)") is the most precise fit for an abstract concept like a commitment.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

    *   "Illiteracy" refers to a lack of knowledge/education.
    *   The surrounding discussion focuses on intellectual incompetence, ignorance, and the failure of education/creativity.
    *   The term "adolescent illiteracy" implies a lack of literacy *specific to* or *characteristic of* the adolescent stage.

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "relating to or peculiar to or suggestive of an adolescent | examples=adolescent problems." (Fits the structure of "adolescent illiteracy" as a specific type of problem/condition.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "being of the age 13 through 19." (While true, the context is discussing a *condition* or *lack*, not just the age group itself.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "displaying or suggesting a lack of maturity." (While related to the intellectual incompetence mentioned, the core focus of "illiteracy" is knowledge, not just immaturity.)
    *   *Check Sense 4:* "in the state of development between puberty and maturity." (Too broad; the context is about a specific deficit.)

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage of "adolescent illiteracy" refers to a condition or problem specific to the adolescent stage. This aligns best with Sense 1.

5.  **Match the Context to the Best Sense:**

    *   The text discusses "creativity in education," "disciplined instruction," "authoritarian" methods, "adolescent illiteracy," and the "education establishment."
    *   The discussion centers on the *system*, the *methods* of instruction, and the *future* of the system ("American education's future").
    *   The context is highly critical of the *system* and the *instructional philosophy*.

    *   Sense 1 (activities/instruction) fits the discussion about "instruction" and "disciplined instruction."
    *   Sense 2 (knowledge acquired) is less central than the process or system.
    *   Sense 3 (gradual process) is too narrow.
    *   Sense 4 (profession of teaching) is not the primary focus.
    *   Sense 5 (result of good upbringing) is contrasted with the current situation.
    *   Sense 6 (federal department) is not mentioned.

    *   The phrase "creativity in education" and the critique of "disciplined instruction" strongly align with the idea of education as the *activities of educating or instructing* (Sense 1).

6.  **Final Check:** The context is about the philosophy and practice of schooling. Sense 1 defines education as the activities of instructing/teaching. This is the most encompassing sense for the discussion about instruction, rebellion against instruction, and the establishment.
