The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "so" in the given context.
The context is: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance <t>so</t> attractive."

Target word: so
Contextual meaning: The word "so" modifies the adjective "attractive," indicating a high degree of attractiveness.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=so%4:02:02:: | definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious; never been so happy
    * This matches the idea of intensifying "attractive."

2. sense_key=so%4:02:06:: | definition=in a manner that facilitates | examples=he observed the snakes so he could describe their behavior; he stooped down so he could pick up his hat
    * This is used for purpose (so that), which doesn't fit here.

3. sense_key=so%4:02:05:: | definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied | examples=They're happy and I hope they will remain so; so live your life that old age will bring no regrets
    * This is used for maintaining a state, which doesn't fit here.

4. sense_key=so%4:02:07:: | 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
    * This suggests limitation, not high degree of attractiveness.

5. sense_key=so%4:02:08:: | definition=in the same way; also | examples=I was offended and so was he; worked hard and so did she
    * This is used for agreement/addition, which doesn't fit here.

6. sense_key=so%4:02:04:: | definition=in the way indicated; ; ; (`thusly' is a nonstandard variant) | synonyms=thus, thusly | examples=hold the brush so; set up the pieces thus
    * This is an adverbial modifier of manner, but usually refers to a specific manner, not just intensity.

7. sense_key=so%4:02:03:: | 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
    * This is the structure "so [adjective] that [result]," which perfectly captures the meaning of intensifying an adjective ("so attractive").

8. sense_key=so%4:02:09:: | definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | synonyms=then, and so, and then | examples=then he left; go left first, then right
    * This is temporal/sequential, which doesn't fit here.

9. sense_key=so%4:02:10:: | definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result | synonyms=therefore, hence, thence, thus | examples=therefore X must be true; the eggs were fresh and hence satisfactory
    * This is used for consequence/conclusion, which doesn't fit here.

10. sense_key=so%4:02:00:: | definition=in truth (often tends to intensify) | synonyms=indeed | examples=they said the car would break down and indeed it did; it is very cold indeed
    * This is an intensifier, but usually used at the end of a clause or sentence to confirm truth ("indeed"). While it intensifies, sense 7 is a more precise description of how "so" functions when modifying an adjective ("so attractive").

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 7:
Sense 1: "to a very great extent or degree" (General intensifier)
Sense 7: "(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed" (Intensifier leading to a result/degree)

In the sentence "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive," "so" is functioning as an intensifier modifying "attractive." While it doesn't explicitly have a "that" clause following it, Sense 7 describes the function of "so" as an intensifier of degree, which is the core meaning here. Sense 1 is also very close, but Sense 7 captures the specific grammatical function of degree modification often associated with "so" in English, even when the 'that' clause is omitted (e.g., "It is so attractive").

However, if we strictly look at the provided examples for Sense 7 ("he was so tired he could hardly stand; so dirty that it smells"), the structure is clearly "so [adj] that [result]". The target sentence is "so attractive."

Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "to a very great extent or degree." This is the most general and accurate description of "so" when it intensifies an adjective, regardless of whether a 'that' clause follows.

Let's re-evaluate Sense 7: "to an extent or degree as expressed." This is highly specific to the 'so...that' construction.

Since the context is simply "so attractive," Sense 1 ("to a very great extent or degree") is the most robust and accurate description of the function of "so" here, as it is functioning as a general degree modifier/intensifier.

I will choose Sense 1.

Context: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."

Target word: attractive

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=attractive%3:00:01:: | definition=pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm | examples=a remarkably attractive young man; an attractive personality
2. sense_key=attractive%5:00:00:appealing:00 | definition=having power to arouse interest | examples=an attractive opportunity; the job is attractive because of the pay
3. sense_key=attractive%3:00:02:: | definition=having the properties of a magnet; the ability to draw or pull | examples=an attractive force

Analysis:
The context refers to "this romantic extravagance" (the notion of creativity in education, described as a "romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction"). The parents find this extravagance "attractive."

1. Sense 1 (pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm): This relates to aesthetic or personal appeal. The "romantic extravagance" is appealing to the parents' sensibilities or desires. This fits well.
2. Sense 2 (having power to arouse interest/appealing): This relates to drawing interest or being desirable. The parents are drawn to or interested in this idea. This also fits well.
3. Sense 3 (having the properties of a magnet/ability to draw or pull): This is a physical/literal sense (magnetic attraction). This is clearly incorrect in this abstract context.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1 focuses on the quality of being pleasing (beauty/charm).
Sense 2 focuses on the quality of being interesting/desirable (arousing interest).

In the phrase "find this romantic extravagance so attractive," the parents are likely finding the *idea* or the *concept* appealing or desirable, which aligns strongly with Sense 2 (appealing/arousing interest). However, Sense 1 (pleasing to the mind) is also very close, as the concept is pleasing to their minds.

Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 2: "an attractive opportunity; the job is attractive because of the pay." These examples relate to desirability and interest (economic/situational appeal).
Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 1: "a remarkably attractive young man; an attractive personality." These examples relate to inherent qualities (beauty/charm).

Since the object ("romantic extravagance") is an abstract concept/idea, Sense 2, which covers general appeal and interest (like an attractive opportunity), seems slightly broader and more appropriate than Sense 1, which leans heavily towards aesthetic or personal charm.

However, often in linguistic tasks, "pleasing to the mind" (Sense 1) is the intended meaning when discussing abstract concepts being found "attractive" by people.

Let's re-evaluate the definitions:
Sense 1: pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm.
Sense 2: having power to arouse interest.

If the parents find it "attractive," they find it desirable or pleasing. Both senses capture this. If I must choose the *single best* fit, Sense 2 ("having power to arouse interest") captures the idea that the concept holds appeal and draws them in, which is a very strong fit for abstract concepts.

Let's check if there is any subtle difference. "Romantic extravagance" is appealing because it aligns with a certain romantic ideal, thus *arousing interest* (Sense 2) and being *pleasing to the mind* (Sense 1).

Given the options, Sense 2 (appealing/arousing interest) is the most general and robust fit for an abstract concept being found desirable by an audience.

I will select Sense 2.

4. sense_key=same%5:00:00:unchanged:00 | definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same; his attitude is the same as ever

Analysis of the context:
"Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education..."

Here, "these same parents" refers back to a group of parents previously mentioned or implied in the preceding text (which discusses parents finding "romantic extravagance" attractive). The use of "same" here is to identify or refer back to the specific group of parents already under discussion, emphasizing that *those specific* parents share a certain characteristic (wanting a decent education).

Let's evaluate the senses:

1. **same in identity**: This sense relates to referring to the exact same entity. "These same parents" functions as a demonstrative phrase referring back to the specific group of parents previously mentioned. This fits the function of "same" when used to identify a specific, previously mentioned group.
2. **closely similar or comparable**: This sense implies similarity (e.g., "parents of the same age"). While the parents might be similar, the structure "these same parents" is primarily an identity reference, not a comparison of attributes.
3. **equal in amount or value**: This sense relates to quantity or value (e.g., "like amounts"). This is clearly irrelevant here.
4. **unchanged in character or nature**: This sense relates to stability over time (e.g., "stayed the same"). This is also irrelevant here.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1 (same in identity) is the most accurate interpretation. When "same" is used with a demonstrative pronoun/adjective ("these same"), it functions to specify the exact group or item previously mentioned.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Analysis:
The sentence states: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education..."
The parents are expressing a preference or a strong wish regarding their children's education.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **feel or have a desire for; want strongly (synonyms=desire)**: This fits perfectly. The parents desire/wish for their children to have a decent education.
2. **have need of (synonyms=need, require)**: While education is a need, the phrasing "do want their children to get" suggests a desire or preference, not just a basic requirement (though it could overlap, sense 1 is a better fit for the emotional/volitional context).
3. **hunt or look for; want for a particular reason**: This is related to being sought or searching, which is irrelevant here.
4. **wish or demand the presence of**: This relates to physical presence ("I want you here"), which is not the case here (they want an education).
5. **be without, lack; be deficient in**: This is an intransitive usage meaning 'to lack' (e.g., "The room wants light"), which is incorrect here.

Conclusion: Sense 1, meaning "to desire," is the best fit.

Mapping to the required output format:
The best sense is sense_key=want%2:37:00.
The required output is a JSON object with the sense index.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target and Context:**
    *   Target lemma: child
    *   Target surface form: children
    *   Context sentence: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their <t>children</t> to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

2.  **Analyze the Contextual Usage:**
    *   The parents want their *children* to get a decent education.
    *   The relationship implied is parental/offspring.
    *   The context discusses education, upbringing, and parental desires regarding their young people.

3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (child%1:18:00):** definition=a young person of either sex | synonyms=kid, youngster, minor...
        *   *Fit:* Good. "Young person" fits the idea of someone needing education.
        *   *Specificity:* It's general ("young person").

    *   **Sense 2 (child%1:18:01):** definition=a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age | synonyms=kid | examples=they had three children...
        *   *Fit:* Excellent. "Offspring" directly matches the relationship implied by "parents do want their children." This is the most precise definition for the relationship between parents and the subject.

    *   **Sense 3 (child%1:18:06):** definition=an immature childish person | synonyms=baby | examples=he remained a child in practical matters...
        *   *Fit:* Poor. This sense refers to immaturity or behavior, not the biological/parental relationship.

    *   **Sense 4 (child%1:18:07):** definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel
        *   *Fit:* Very Poor. This is a collective/tribal usage, irrelevant to the context of parents and education.

4.  **Compare Best Candidates (Sense 1 vs. Sense 2):**
    *   Sense 1 is broad ("young person").
    *   Sense 2 is specific ("human offspring (son or daughter) of any age").

36. sense_key=get%2:29:08:: | definition=make children | Incorrect.

Comparing the best candidates:
1. sense_key=get%2:40:00:: (come into the possession of something concrete or abstract / acquire)
2. sense_key=get%2:30:03:: (receive a specified treatment (abstract) / obtain)
21. sense_key=get%2:40:14:: (acquire as a result of some effort or action)

"Get a decent education" strongly implies acquisition (Sense 1) or acquisition through effort (Sense 21). Sense 1 is the most general and direct fit for "acquire an abstract thing." Sense 21 emphasizes the effort, which is true, but Sense 1 covers the core meaning of obtaining the education.

Let's choose Sense 1 as the most straightforward definition of acquiring an abstract benefit like an education.

Sense 1: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire
Context: "do want their children to get a decent education" -> acquire an education.

Final check: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Candidate senses:

Analysis of the context:
The sentence is: "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."
The context discusses what parents want for their children, specifically a "decent education." This refers to the overall process or outcome of learning and instruction that prepares them for life/society, contrasting it with the "romantic rebellion" against "disciplined instruction."

Evaluating the senses:
1. (Activities of educating/instructing): This is close, but often refers to the *process* or *system* of teaching.
2. (Knowledge acquired): This refers to the *result* (the knowledge itself), not the overall educational experience/process.
3. (The gradual process of acquiring knowledge): This perfectly matches the idea of what parents want their children to *get*—the entire developmental journey and outcome of learning. The examples ("education is a preparation for life") support this holistic view.
4. (Profession of teaching): This refers to the job title (teacher), which is incorrect here.
5. (Result of good upbringing/social behavior): This is too narrow (social etiquette) compared to the general concept of "decent education" in this context.
6. (US federal department): Clearly incorrect.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1 focuses on the *activities* (instruction, teaching).
Sense 3 focuses on the *process* (the gradual acquisition of knowledge).

When parents want their children to "get a decent education," they are usually referring to the entire developmental process and the resulting level of knowledge/skill, which aligns best with Sense 3: "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge." Sense 3 captures the scope of the concept better than Sense 1, which emphasizes the mechanics of teaching.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

The context requires the parents to understand or be aware of the requirements of a traditional education. This is about possessing knowledge or awareness of a fact/requirement.

*   Sense 1 (cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information) fits perfectly. They need to be aware of what a decent education demands.
*   Sense 3 (be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt) is slightly stronger than mere awareness; it implies conviction or certainty about the truth of the demands. Given the phrase "have enough common sense to know," it suggests a fundamental, accepted truth or requirement.
*   Sense 2 (know how to do) is incorrect; they are not learning a skill, they are understanding requirements.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information."
Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt."

When one says they "know what that demands," they are asserting that they understand the necessary facts/requirements. While Sense 1 is generally applicable, Sense 3 captures the idea of having a deep, accepted understanding or conviction (which aligns with "common sense") about the nature of those demands.

However, in the context of understanding requirements ("what that demands"), Sense 1 (awareness of facts/information) is the most direct and least overly strong interpretation. They need to know the *information* about the demands.

Let's re-examine the nuance. "Common sense to know what that demands." This implies practical understanding.
If I choose Sense 1: They are aware of the facts/information regarding the demands. (Good fit)
If I choose Sense 3: They hold a firm belief/conviction about the truth of the demands. (Also a good fit, perhaps slightly stronger than necessary).

In general usage, "to know what X demands" usually means "to understand the requirements of X." This falls squarely under possessing knowledge/awareness (Sense 1).

Let's stick with Sense 1 as the most neutral and accurate fit for understanding requirements.

Sense 1: know%2:31:01:: | definition=be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | synonyms=cognize, cognise

Final check: "they have enough common sense to know what that demands." -> They have enough common sense to be aware of the requirements. This works perfectly.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "demands" (target surface form) based on the provided context.
The target lemma is "demand".

Context: "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 <t>demands</t>. Their commitment to "creativity "can not survive adolescent illiteracy."

The word "demands" refers to what a "decent education as traditionally understood" requires.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=demand%2:32:00:: | definition=request urgently and forcefully** (e.g., demanding compensation, demanding firing). This implies a strong, often aggressive, request. While education might require things, the phrasing "what that demands" suggests a necessary condition or requirement, not necessarily an urgent, forceful request.
2. **sense_key=demand%2:42:00:: | definition=require as useful, just, or proper** (synonyms: necessitate, ask, postulate, need, require, take). This sense fits well with the idea of what a standard education *requires* or *necessitates*.
3. **sense_key=demand%2:32:02:: | definition=claim as due or just** (synonyms: exact). This relates to claiming something owed (like payment). This doesn't fit the context of educational requirements.
4. **sense_key=demand%2:32:09:: | definition=lay legal claim to**. This is a specific legal action. Not relevant.
5. **sense_key=demand%2:32:05:: | definition=summon to court**. This is a specific legal action. Not relevant.
6. **sense_key=demand%2:32:06:: | definition=ask to be informed of**. This is about requesting information. Not relevant.

The phrase "what that demands" means "what that requires" or "what that necessitates."

Sense 2: "require as useful, just, or proper" aligns perfectly with the meaning of necessary requirements for a decent education.

Therefore, sense_key=demand%2:42:00 is the best fit.

    *   **5. sense_key=commitment%1:04:01:: | definition=the official act of consigning a person to confinement (as in a prison or mental hospital) | synonyms=committal, consignment**
        *   *Fit:* This is a legal/medical meaning. It does not fit the context. (Reject)

4.  **Compare the best candidates (1 and 2):**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *trait* (fixity of purpose).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *act* of binding oneself (dedication/loyalty to a course of action).
    *   In the phrase "commitment to 'creativity'," the parents are demonstrating a dedication (Sense 2) or having a steadfast purpose (Sense 1) regarding this educational approach.
    *   Sense 2, with synonyms like "dedication" and "loyalty," captures the idea of adhering to a specific *course of action* (the educational philosophy) most accurately. It is slightly broader and more encompassing of the idea of dedication to a cause than Sense 1.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 is the most precise fit for "commitment to [a philosophical/educational approach]."

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Their commitment to "creativity "can not <t>survive</t> adolescent illiteracy."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'survive' in this context:** The commitment (an abstract idea/belief) is being tested or negated by adolescent illiteracy (a condition/obstacle). The commitment cannot *endure* or *persist* despite the presence of illiteracy.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   **sense_key=survive%2:42:01:** | 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.
        *   *Fit:* "Last" and "endure" fit well. The commitment is being challenged by illiteracy. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **sense_key=survive%2:42:02:** | 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.
        *   *Fit:* This usually implies surviving a specific, often physical, event or crisis (like illness). While abstract concepts can "pull through," the focus here is on persistence *despite* a condition, not necessarily overcoming a singular, acute event. Less precise than 42:01.

    *   **sense_key=survive%2:42:00:** | definition=support oneself | synonyms=exist, live, subsist | examples=he could barely exist on such a low wage; Can you live on $2000 a month in New York City?
        *   *Fit:* This relates to sustenance (physical or financial). It does not fit the abstract concept of a "commitment" being challenged by "illiteracy."

    *   **sense_key=survive%2:42:03:** | definition=live longer than | synonyms=outlive, outlast | examples=She outlived her husband by many years.
        *   *Fit:* This requires a comparison of duration between two entities. It does not fit the structure "commitment cannot survive illiteracy."

4.  **Compare the best candidates (42:01 vs. 42:02):**
    *   42:01 uses synonyms like "last" and "endure," which perfectly capture the idea of an abstract belief or commitment failing to persist when faced with a persistent challenge (illiteracy).
    *   42:02 focuses more on overcoming a specific, often life-threatening, adversity.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 42:01 is the best fit because it covers the meaning of persistence and endurance against a challenging condition, which applies to abstract concepts like "commitment."

6.  **Format the output:** Return the JSON object with the correct sense index. (The index is 1 for 42:01).

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Their commitment to "creativity "can not survive <t>adolescent</t> illiteracy."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text/theme:** The passage discusses education, children, young people, "creativity," "self-esteem," "youngsters," and the need for a "decent education as traditionally understood." The focus is on the educational needs and capabilities of young people.
3.  **Analyze the target word and its role:** "Adolescent illiteracy" refers to a lack of literacy among a specific group of young people.
4.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (relating to or peculiar to or suggestive of an adolescent):** This is a general descriptor. While technically possible, it's too broad.
    *   **Sense 2 (being of the age 13 through 19):** This is the chronological definition (teenager). "Adolescent illiteracy" could refer to this age group.
    *   **Sense 3 (displaying or suggesting a lack of maturity):** This relates to *behavior* or *quality* (immature). While adolescence is often associated with immaturity, "adolescent illiteracy" is a state of *lack of skill* (illiteracy), not necessarily a lack of maturity, although the two can overlap.
    *   **Sense 4 (in the state of development between puberty and maturity):** This is the developmental stage definition. This aligns closely with the general concept of adolescence, which is the period when educational development is occurring.

5.  **Refine the choice based on the collocation ("illiteracy"):**
    *   Illiteracy is a measurable skill deficit.
    *   Sense 2 (Age 13-19) defines *who* the person is chronologically.
    *   Sense 4 (Developmental stage) defines *what* the person is undergoing biologically/psychologically.
    *   Sense 3 (Immaturity) defines a *trait*.

    In the context of education and development ("creativity," "decent education"), both Sense 2 and Sense 4 are strong. However, when discussing educational outcomes (like illiteracy), the term often refers to the developmental stage (Sense 4) or the age group (Sense 2).

    Let's look at the provided synonyms/examples for Sense 2: `teen, teenage, teenaged`. These are strong synonyms for the age group.
    Let's look at the provided synonyms/examples for Sense 4: None provided, but the definition is "in the state of development between puberty and maturity."

    Since the context is about the educational challenges of young people, and "adolescent" is used as an adjective modifying "illiteracy," it is most likely referring to the developmental stage or the age group.

    If we must choose the *best* fit for "adolescent illiteracy," Sense 4 (developmental stage) is often the most precise linguistic definition of the period itself, encompassing the age range. However, Sense 2 (age range) is the most common practical usage in educational policy.

    Let's re-examine the provided options and their nuances.
    Sense 3: `displaying or suggesting a lack of maturity`. If the illiteracy is *due* to immaturity, this fits.
    Sense 4: `in the state of development between puberty and maturity`. This is the definition of the period.

    Given the general educational discussion, the term "adolescent" is being used to identify the population group undergoing this educational challenge. Sense 4 captures the essence of this developmental period better than Sense 2 (which is purely chronological) or Sense 3 (which is a judgment of character/behavior).

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 4 provides the most accurate linguistic definition of the period of development that is being discussed in relation to educational outcomes.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target word: *illiteracy*
    *   Context sentence: "Their commitment to "creativity "can not survive adolescent <t>illiteracy</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The passage discusses the tension between modern, "creative" educational philosophies (which prioritize self-esteem and latent talents) and the traditional need for a "decent education as traditionally understood." The parents want their children to succeed educationally.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   Sense 2: `illiteracy%1:09:00` | definition=an inability to read | synonyms=analphabetism

3.  **Evaluate the usage in context:**
    *   "Their commitment to 'creativity' can not survive adolescent illiteracy."
    *   The context implies that the modern, unstructured approach ("creativity") is insufficient or unsustainable if the students lack fundamental educational skills.
    *   "Adolescent illiteracy" here refers to a lack of necessary skills or knowledge required for formal education or functioning in society.

4.  **Compare senses to context:**
    *   Sense 2 ("an inability to read" / *analphabetism*) is a very specific definition (functional inability). While reading inability is a form of illiteracy, the context might be broader—a lack of general academic competence or foundational knowledge that prevents the "creativity" from being properly developed or applied in a structured educational setting.
    *   Sense 1 ("ignorance resulting from not reading") is broader. It encompasses both the inability to read (Sense 2) and the resulting lack of knowledge/understanding (ignorance).

5.  **Determine the best fit:**
    *   In the context of educational failure ("can not survive..."), the term *illiteracy* often refers to a general lack of educational attainment or competence, not just the specific inability to decode text.
    *   Sense 1, defining it as "ignorance resulting from not reading," captures the broader concept of educational deficiency (ignorance) which is the consequence of lacking the necessary skills (not reading/not learning). This aligns better with the high-level discussion about educational philosophy and outcomes in the passage.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit. (Note: The instructions require returning the index number, but the provided candidates are not numbered sequentially in the prompt, so I must assume the order provided is 1 and 2).

    *   Candidate 1 = Sense 1
    *   Candidate 2 = Sense 2

    The best sense is Candidate 1.

1. sense_key=american%3:01:01:: | definition=of or relating to the United States of America or its people or language or culture | examples=American citizens; American English
2. sense_key=american%3:01:00:: | definition=of or relating to or characteristic of the continents and islands of the Americas | examples=the American hemisphere; American flora and fauna

Analysis:
The phrase is "American education's future".
Education is a cultural/national institution.
If the meaning were related to the continents (Americas), it would likely refer to a broader regional educational system (e.g., Latin American education, North American education).
However, when discussing "American education" in a general discourse about educational philosophy and standards (especially in a context that sounds like US-centric commentary, given the focus on "common sense" vs "romantic rebellion" in education), it almost certainly refers to the education system of the United States of America.

Sense 1: "of or relating to the United States of America or its people or language or culture." This fits perfectly with "American education" referring to US education.
Sense 2: "of or relating to or characteristic of the continents and islands of the Americas." This is too broad and less likely in this specific context.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.
