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

Context: Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by <t>healthy</t> versions of the damaged genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has come close to doing that so far.

Senses:
1. definition=having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease | examples=a rosy healthy baby; staying fit and healthy
2. definition=financially secure and functioning well | examples=a healthy economy
3. definition=promoting health; healthful; ; ; ; ; - C.B.Davis | synonyms=salubrious, good for you | examples=a healthy diet; clean healthy air
4. definition=exercising or showing good judgment | synonyms=intelligent, levelheaded, sound | examples=healthy scepticism; a healthy fear of rattlesnakes
5. definition=large in amount or extent or degree | synonyms=goodly, goodish, hefty, respectable, sizable, sizeable | examples=it cost a considerable amount; a goodly amount

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence in question is: "The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by <t>healthy</t> versions of the damaged genes."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "healthy" in this specific context:** The context is about genes, defective genes, and cancer. The goal is to use proteins made by "healthy versions of the damaged genes." In this biological context, "healthy" means functional, non-defective, or normal (i.e., capable of performing their intended biological role).
3.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease | examples=a rosy healthy baby; staying fit and healthy (Focuses on the state of a living organism.)
    *   2. definition=financially secure and functioning well | examples=a healthy economy (Focuses on financial/systemic stability.)
    *   3. definition=promoting health; healthful; ; ; ; ; - C.B.Davis | synonyms=salubrious, good for you | examples=a healthy diet; clean healthy air (Focuses on things that *cause* health.)
    *   4. definition=exercising or showing good judgment | synonyms=intelligent, levelheaded, sound | examples=healthy scepticism; a healthy fear of rattlesnakes (Focuses on mental/behavioral state.)
    *   5. definition=large in amount or extent or degree | synonyms=goodly, goodish, hefty, respectable, sizable, sizeable | examples=it cost a considerable amount; a goodly amount (Focuses on size/quantity.)
4.  **Match the context meaning to the senses:**
    *   The genes are being described as "healthy versions." This means they are functioning correctly, not being defective or diseased.
    *   Sense 1 relates to being free from infirmity or disease (in a biological sense). A "healthy gene" is one that is not defective or diseased.
    *   Sense 3 relates to promoting health (like a diet or air). While related to health, the gene itself is the subject, and the meaning is about its *state* (non-defective), not its *effect* (promoting health).
    *   Sense 4 and 5 are clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 is clearly incorrect.
5.  **Refine the choice (Sense 1 vs. Sense 3):**
    *   If the gene is "healthy," it means it is *not* defective (i.e., it is free from the "infirmity" or "disease" of being mutated/damaged). This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease."
    *   Sense 3 ("promoting health") would imply the gene *causes* health, which is a possible interpretation, but Sense 1 captures the state of being *non-defective* or *normal* (the opposite of the "damaged genes" mentioned earlier) more precisely in a biological context.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit for describing a gene that is functional and not defective.

The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the <t>damaged</t> genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has come close to doing that so far.

Senses:
1. definition=harmed or injured or spoiled | examples=I won't buy damaged goods; the storm left a wake of badly damaged buildings
2. definition=being unjustly brought into disrepute | synonyms=discredited | examples=a discredited politician; her damaged reputation

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "damaged" is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number of the correct sense.

2.  **Analyze the context:** The relevant phrase is: "The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the <t>damaged</t> genes."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "damaged" in context:**
    *   The context discusses genes.
    *   The sentence contrasts "healthy versions" with "damaged genes."
    *   The preceding text mentions "defective gene" and "retinoblastoma suppressor gene."
    *   A "damaged" gene, in this biological context, means a gene that is faulty, defective, or not functioning correctly.

4.  **Analyze the provided senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=harmed or injured or spoiled | examples=I won't buy damaged goods; the storm left a wake of badly damaged buildings. (Relates to physical harm, injury, or spoilage.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=being unjustly brought into disrepute | synonyms=discredited | examples=a discredited politician; her damaged reputation. (Relates to reputation or social standing.)

5.  **Match the context meaning to the senses:**
    *   The context meaning (faulty/defective/non-functional) is closest to "spoiled" or "injured" (Sense 1), even though the examples in Sense 1 are physical objects. In a biological context, a "damaged" gene is functionally "spoiled" or "injured" compared to a healthy one.
    *   Sense 2 is clearly incorrect (no mention of reputation).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the intended meaning, referring to something that is spoiled or defective (functionally harmed).

7.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.

4. definition=put in the place of another; switch seemingly equivalent items | synonyms=substitute, interchange, exchange | examples=the con artist replaced the original with a fake Rembrandt; substitute regular milk with fat-free milk

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "It may even be possible to <t>replace</t> defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has come close to doing that so far."
2.  **Identify the action:** The action is replacing "defective genes" with "healthy versions."
3.  **Determine the nature of the replacement:** This is a biological/genetic intervention. A defective part (gene) is being swapped out for a functional, correct part (healthy version).
4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=substitute a person or thing for (another that is broken or inefficient or lost or no longer working or yielding what is expected).
        *   *Application:* Defective genes are broken/inefficient. Healthy versions are the functional substitute. This fits perfectly.
        *   *Example check:* "He replaced the old razor blade" (broken/inefficient item replaced).
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=take the place or move into the position of (synonyms=supplant, supersede, supervene upon, supercede).
        *   *Application:* This usually refers to taking a position or replacing a system/authority (e.g., a new CEO replacing an old one). While genes occupy a position, the core meaning here is functional substitution, not necessarily superseding a role in a hierarchical sense. Less precise than Sense 1.
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=put something back where it belongs (synonyms=put back).
        *   *Application:* This means returning an item to its original location (e.g., putting a book back on the shelf). This does not fit the concept of swapping a defective part for a healthy one.
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=put in the place of another; switch seemingly equivalent items (synonyms=substitute, interchange, exchange).
        *   *Application:* This involves swapping items (e.g., regular milk for fat-free milk). While genetic replacement is a form of substitution, Sense 1 specifically addresses the context of replacing something that is *broken or inefficient*, which is the precise nature of "defective genes." Sense 1 is more specific and accurate for this scientific context.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 best captures the meaning of replacing a non-functional or defective biological component with a functional one.

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "healthy" in Context:**
    *   In this biological/genetic context, "healthy versions of the damaged genes" means versions that are *not* defective, that function correctly, and that are capable of producing the necessary, non-mutated proteins.
    *   It refers to the *state* or *quality* of the gene/protein being free from disease/defect.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease | examples=a rosy healthy baby; staying fit and healthy**
        *   *Fit:* This sense relates directly to being free from disease or defect (infirmity). A "healthy gene" is one that is not defective/diseased. This is a strong match.

    *   **2. definition=financially secure and functioning well | examples=a healthy economy**
        *   *Fit:* No. The context is biological, not economic.

    *   **3. definition=promoting health; healthful; ; ; ; ; - C.B.Davis | synonyms=salubrious, good for you | examples=a healthy diet; clean healthy air**
        *   *Fit:* No. This sense is usually used as an adjective describing something that *causes* health (e.g., a healthy diet). Here, the gene *is* healthy (i.e., functional), not that it *promotes* health.

    *   **4. definition=exercising or showing good judgment | synonyms=intelligent, levelheaded, sound | examples=healthy scepticism; a healthy fear of rattlesnakes**
        *   *Fit:* No. This sense relates to mental or emotional state/judgment.

    *   **5. definition=large in amount or extent or degree | synonyms=goodly, goodish, hefty, respectable, sizable, sizeable | examples=it cost a considerable amount; a goodly amount**
        *   *Fit:* No. This sense relates to size or quantity.

2.  **Analyze the context sentence:** "It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has <t>come close</t> to doing that so far."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "come close" in this context:**
    *   The context discusses a highly advanced, difficult scientific procedure (replacing defective genes).
    *   The phrase "no one has come close to doing that so far" implies that no one has achieved or approximated the successful completion of this task.

4.  **Evaluate Sense 1:**
    *   Definition: nearly do something.
    *   Example: She came close to quitting her job (meaning she almost quit, but didn't).
    *   Application to context: "No one has come close to doing that" means no one has nearly succeeded in doing that. This fits the meaning of *almost achieving* the goal.

5.  **Evaluate Sense 2:**
    *   Definition: be close or similar.
    *   Synonyms: approximate.
    *   Example: Her results approximate my own.
    *   Application to context: If Sense 2 were used, it would mean "no one has been similar or close to the concept of doing that." This doesn't fit the structure "come close *to doing that*." Sense 2 usually describes similarity between two things (e.g., two numbers, two ideas).

6.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "no one has come close to doing that" means no one has nearly succeeded in doing that. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1 (nearly do something).

    *   4. have or contain a certain wording or form | synonyms=read | examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say? (Incorrect. Not about text content.)
    *   5. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | synonyms=order, tell, enjoin | examples=I said to him to go home; She ordered him to do the shopping (Incorrect. Not giving instructions.)
    *   6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way | synonyms=pronounce, articulate, enounce, sound out, enunciate | examples=She pronounces French words in a funny way; I cannot say `zip wire' (Incorrect. Not about pronunciation.)
    *   7. communicate or express nonverbally | examples=What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt? (Incorrect. She is speaking verbally.)
    *   8. utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office (This is possible, but Sense 1 is a more precise fit for introducing a formal statement/opinion.)
    *   9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | examples=I say let's forget this whole business (This is a strong candidate, focusing on the opinion/judgment aspect.)
    *   10. recite or repeat a fixed text | examples=Say grace; She said her `Hail Mary' (Incorrect. Not reciting a fixed text.)
    *   11. indicate | examples=The clock says noon (Incorrect. Not indicating time/data.)

4.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 2, 9):**
    *   Sense 1: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell." This is the most general and accurate fit for introducing a quote/statement.
    *   Sense 2: "report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver." While she is reporting, "allege" suggests a claim that might be disputed, which isn't necessarily the case here.
    *   Sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare." This is also very accurate, as the quote is an expert opinion.

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("express in words | synonyms=state, tell") is the most comprehensive and standard definition for using "say" to introduce a verbal statement or opinion, covering both the act of speaking and the content of the speech. Sense 9 is a strong synonym for this usage, but Sense 1 is the primary definition for this communicative act.

6.  **Final check:** "Dr. Minna says [expresses in words] 'We're witnessing the discovery...'" -> Matches Sense 1.

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

Context: Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has come close to doing that so far. In any case, says Dr. Minna of the National Cancer Institute, "We're <t>witnessing</t> the discovery of one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=be a witness to | examples=She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court
2. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | synonyms=find, see | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "witness" (marked as `<t>witnessing</t>`) is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number of the correct sense.

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The relevant sentence is: "In any case, says Dr. Minna of the National Cancer Institute, 'We're <t>witnessing</t> the discovery of one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer.'"

3.  **Analyze the Usage:**
    *   "We're witnessing the discovery..."
    *   This means they are currently observing, experiencing, or being present during the event (the discovery).

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:**
        *   Definition: be a witness to (implies being a legal or formal observer, often leading to testimony).
        *   Example: "She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court."
        *   *Fit Check:* While "witnessing" means observing, the context is scientific observation of a process/event, not necessarily a formal, legal observation requiring testimony.

    *   **Sense 2:**
        *   Definition: perceive or be contemporaneous with.
        *   Synonyms: find, see.
        *   Example: "We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school."
        *   *Fit Check:* "We're witnessing the discovery" aligns perfectly with "perceive or be contemporaneous with." They are actively observing the event as it happens.

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for the scientific/observational context.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering
2. definition=something that is discovered
3. definition=a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find
4. definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure of documents relevant to a case; enables one side in a litigation to elicit information from the other side concerning the facts in the case

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "discovery" (marked with `<t>discovery</t>`) is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the context:** The relevant sentence is: "In any case, says Dr. Minna of the National Cancer Institute, 'We're witnessing the <t>discovery</t> of one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer.'"

3.  **Determine the meaning of "discovery" in this context:**
    *   The context is scientific research (cancer, genes, proteins, therapies).
    *   "Witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps..." implies that scientists have found or identified a crucial piece of knowledge or a mechanism related to cancer's origin (genesis).
    *   It refers to the *act* or the *event* of finding this important step.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering. (This matches the idea of "witnessing the act of finding a crucial step.")
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=something that is discovered. (This would be the *thing* found, not the *act* of finding it. E.g., "The discovery was a new gene.")
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find. (This is very close to Sense 1, focusing on the *result* or *insight*. However, Sense 1, "the act of discovering," is a more precise fit for "witnessing the discovery of a step.")
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure... (This is legal jargon and is irrelevant to the scientific context.)

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Context: "We're witnessing the *discovery* of one of the most important steps..."
    *   Sense 1 (Act): The process of finding the step.
    *   Sense 3 (Insight/Breakthrough): The finding itself.
    *   In scientific discourse, when one "witnesses the discovery," they are witnessing the *process* or the *event* of the finding. Sense 1 ("the act of discovering something") is the most accurate fit for the grammatical and contextual usage here.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "most" (marked with `<t>most</t>`) is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the context sentence:** "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the <t>most</t> important steps in the genesis of cancer."

3.  **Analyze the usage of "most" in the sentence:**
    *   "one of the most important steps"
    *   "Important" is an adjective.
    *   "Most important" is the superlative form of "important."
    *   The structure "one of the [superlative adjective] X" is a classic construction used to indicate that the item belongs to the top group of items in a set.

4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=used to form the superlative | synonyms=to the highest degree | examples=the king cobra is the most dangerous snake.
        *   *Match?* Yes. "Most important" is the superlative form, indicating the highest degree of importance.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=very | examples=a most welcome relief.
        *   *Match?* No. While "most" can mean "very" (as an intensifier), the structure here ("one of the most...") requires the superlative function, not just simple intensification.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(of actions or states) slightly short of or not quite accomplished; all but | synonyms=about, almost, nearly, near, nigh, virtually | examples=the job is (just) about done.
        *   *Match?* No. This sense relates to approximation or near completion, which is irrelevant to "most important."

5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air; took long important strides in the direction of his office

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most <t>important</t> steps in the genesis of cancer."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "important" in this context:** The discovery is a "step in the genesis of cancer." This step is being described as having great value or significance regarding the understanding or treatment of cancer.
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   **1. definition=of great significance or value | synonyms=of import | examples=important people; the important questions of the day.** (This fits the idea of a discovery having great value/significance.)
    *   **2. definition=important in effect or meaning | synonyms=significant | examples=a significant change in tax laws; a significant change in the Constitution.** (This also fits, as the step is *significant* in its effect on understanding cancer.)
    *   **3. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | synonyms=crucial | examples=a crucial moment in his career; a crucial election.** (While the discovery might be *crucial*, the phrasing "one of the most important steps" suggests a high degree of value/significance, which overlaps with 1 and 2, but 1 and 2 are broader and more direct.)
    *   **4. definition=having authority or ascendancy or influence | synonyms=authoritative | examples=an important official; the captain's authoritative manner.** (This relates to power/authority, which is irrelevant here.)
    *   **5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air; took long important strides in the direction of his office.** (This relates to demeanor/pride, which is irrelevant here.)
4.  **Distinguish between 1 and 2:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on *value* or *import* (e.g., "important questions").
    *   Sense 2 focuses on *effect* or *meaning* (e.g., "significant change").
    *   In the context of scientific discovery ("a step in the genesis of cancer"), the step is highly valued because of its profound *significance* or *value* to the field. Both 1 and 2 are plausible, but Sense 1 ("of great significance or value") is the most general and fitting description for a major scientific breakthrough. Sense 2 is often used when discussing changes or data points ("a significant change").
5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 captures the idea that the discovery holds great value and significance for the scientific community.

6.  **Final check:** "One of the most important steps" means it is a step of great value/significance. This matches Sense 1.

10. definition=a solid block joined to the beams in which the heel of a ship's mast or capstan is fixed
11. definition=a sequence of foot movements that make up a particular dance | synonyms=dance step | examples=he taught them the waltz step

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important <t>steps</t> in the genesis of cancer."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "steps" in this context:** "Genesis of cancer" refers to the process or development of cancer. A "step" here refers to a stage, phase, or crucial advance in that process or in the scientific understanding of it.
3.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal | synonyms=measure | examples=the situation called for strong measures; the police took steps to reduce crime. (This relates to progress/advancement.)
    *   2. definition=the distance covered by a step | synonyms=footstep, pace, stride | (Physical distance.)
    *   3. definition=the act of changing location by raising the foot and setting it down | (Physical action.)
    *   4. definition=support consisting of a place to rest the foot while ascending or descending a stairway | (Architectural part.)
    *   5. definition=relative position in a graded series | synonyms=gradation | examples=always a step behind; subtle gradations in color. (This relates to stages or levels in a progression.)
    *   6. definition=a short distance | synonyms=stone's throw | (Physical distance.)
    *   7. definition=the sound of a step of someone walking | (Auditory.)
    *   8. definition=a musical interval of two semitones | (Musical.)
    *   9. definition=a mark of a foot or shoe on a surface | (Physical mark.)
    *   10. definition=a solid block joined to the beams in which the heel of a ship's mast or capstan is fixed | (Nautical/structural.)
    *   11. definition=a sequence of foot movements that make up a particular dance | (Dance.)
4.  **Match the meaning to the best sense:**
    *   The context ("most important steps in the genesis of cancer") implies a crucial stage or phase in a complex process (the development of cancer).
    *   Sense 1 ("any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal") fits well, as scientific discoveries are steps toward understanding.
    *   Sense 5 ("relative position in a graded series") also fits very well, as the genesis of cancer is a graded series of changes.
5.  **Refine the choice (1 vs 5):**
    *   If the focus is on the *action* of moving forward (progress), Sense 1 is strong.
    *   If the focus is on the *stage* or *level* within a progression, Sense 5 is strong.
    *   In the context of scientific discovery and disease progression ("genesis"), "steps" often refers to the stages or levels of development. However, Sense 1 ("progress toward a goal") is also a very common metaphorical use for "step" in scientific/medical writing (e.g., "a step forward in research").
    *   Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 1: "the situation called for strong measures; the police took steps to reduce crime." (Focus on action/measure).
    *   Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 5: "always a step behind; subtle gradations in color." (Focus on relative position/level).
    *   Since the phrase is "most important steps in the genesis of cancer," it refers to critical stages or milestones in the development process. Both 1 and 5 are plausible, but Sense 5 (relative position in a graded series/stage) captures the idea of "genesis" (origin/development) more precisely than Sense 1 (a general measure/maneuver).

6.  **Final check:** "Steps in the genesis of cancer" = critical stages/levels in the development of cancer. This aligns perfectly with Sense 5: "relative position in a graded series."

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 5 is the most accurate fit.

    *   **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 who are taught skills.)
    *   **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. (While children are offspring, the context focuses on their *age/stage* for education, not just their status as offspring. Sense 1 is a better fit for the educational context.)
    *   **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! (This implies immaturity or lack of adult capability, which is related but less precise than the general category of "young person" being educated.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel. (Irrelevant.)
4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1, "a young person of either sex," best captures the meaning of individuals who are being taught basic skills like reading and writing.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Why ca not we teach our children to <t>read</t>, write and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "read" in this context:** The context lists "read" alongside "write" and "reckon" (calculate/figure out). This strongly suggests the fundamental skill of decoding written text.
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. interpret something that is written or printed (Reading comprehension/decoding). -> Matches the core meaning of teaching children to read.
    *   2. have or contain a certain wording or form (e.g., "The passage reads as follows"). -> Incorrect.
    *   3. look at, interpret, and say out loud something that is written or printed (Reading aloud). -> Possible, but Sense 1 is broader and more fundamental to the general skill of "reading."
    *   4. obtain data from magnetic tapes (Technical reading). -> Incorrect.
    *   5. interpret the significance (Divination/behavior). -> Incorrect.
    *   6. interpret something in a certain way (Interpreting meaning). -> Incorrect (This is comprehension, but Sense 1 is more specific to the act of reading text).
    *   7. be a student of a certain subject (Studying). -> Incorrect.
    *   8. indicate a certain reading (Gauge reading). -> Incorrect.
    *   9. audition for a stage role (Reading parts). -> Incorrect.
    *   10. to hear and understand (Auditory). -> Incorrect.
    *   11. make sense of a language (Understanding language). -> This is close to comprehension, but Sense 1 focuses specifically on the act of processing *written* material, which is what "teaching children to read" implies.

4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("interpret something that is written or printed") is the most accurate and general definition for the foundational skill of reading listed alongside writing and reckoning. Sense 3 is also plausible (reading aloud), but Sense 1 covers the entire process of decoding and understanding text.

5.  **Final check:** "Teach children to read" means teaching them to decode and understand written symbols. Sense 1 fits this perfectly.

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

Context: Why ca not we teach our children to read, <t>write</t> and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do.

Senses:

2. definition=communicate or express by writing | examples=Please write to me every week
3. definition=have (one's written work) issued for publication | synonyms=publish | examples=How many books did Georges Simenon write?; She published 25 books during her long career

10. definition=create code, write a computer program | examples=She writes code faster than anybody else

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Why ca not we teach our children to read, <t>write</t> and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "write" in this context:** The sentence lists fundamental skills that children should learn: "read," "write," and "reckon" (calculate/do arithmetic).
3.  **Evaluate the potential senses of "write":**
    *   1. Produce a literary work (Compose a novel). (Too specific/high level for basic literacy.)
    *   2. Communicate or express by writing (General act of writing). (Plausible, but maybe too broad.)
    *   3. Have issued for publication (Publish). (Incorrect.)
    *   4. Communicate (with) in writing (Send a letter/message). (Plausible, but usually implies communication *to* someone.)
    *   5. Communicate by letter (Send a letter). (Too specific.)
    *   6. Write music (Compose music). (Incorrect.)
    *   7. Mark or trace on a surface (Draw letters). (This is the fundamental physical act of writing/forming letters.)
    *   8. Record data on a computer (Save data). (Modern context, but the sentence implies basic literacy.)
    *   9. Write or name the letters that comprise the conventionally accepted form of (a word or part of a word) (Spell). (This is a very specific skill related to forming words, but often encompassed by the general act of writing.)
    *   10. Create code (Program). (Incorrect.)
4.  **Refine the choice based on the list of basic skills (read, write, reckon):** When discussing basic literacy, "write" refers to the ability to form letters and symbols to represent language.
    *   Sense 7 ("mark or trace on a surface") describes the physical action necessary for writing.
    *   Sense 9 ("spell") describes the cognitive/linguistic skill of forming words correctly.
    *   Sense 2 ("communicate or express by writing") is the overall goal.

5.  **Re-examine the relationship between the senses and the context:** The context is about teaching fundamental skills. The most basic, foundational skill that allows one to "write" is the ability to form characters/letters on a surface. Sense 7 captures this physical act. Sense 2 is the functional outcome.

6.  **Compare Sense 7 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 2: "communicate or express by writing." (The purpose of writing.)
    *   Sense 7: "mark or trace on a surface." (The physical mechanism of writing.)
    *   In the context of teaching basic literacy (read, write, reckon), the ability to physically form letters (Sense 7) is the core skill being taught, which then enables communication (Sense 2). However, Sense 2 is the most common and general definition of "write" when listed alongside "read" (i.e., the ability to use written language).

7.  **Check the provided examples/definitions again:**
    *   Sense 2: definition=communicate or express by writing | examples=Please write to me every week. (This is the standard, general definition of writing as a skill.)
    *   Sense 7: definition=mark or trace on a surface | examples=The artist wrote Chinese characters on a big piece of white paper. (This focuses on the physical act, often used when discussing calligraphy or handwriting.)

8.  **Conclusion:** Since the context is about teaching the general skill of literacy (reading and writing), Sense 2, which defines the act of expressing oneself through writing, is the most appropriate and encompassing sense. While Sense 7 describes the physical action, Sense 2 describes the function of the skill being taught.

9.  **Final selection:** Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is "Why ca not we teach our children to read, write and <t>reckon</t>? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "reckon" in this context:** The sentence lists basic skills (read, write) and then adds "reckon." The structure implies that "reckon" is a fundamental cognitive skill, similar to reading and writing. It refers to the ability to form opinions, make judgments, or think logically.
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **1. definition=expect, believe, or suppose | synonyms=think, opine, suppose, imagine, guess:** This aligns perfectly with the idea of teaching children how to *think* or *form opinions*.
    *   **2. definition=judge to be probable | synonyms=calculate, estimate, count on, figure, forecast:** This is more about estimation/forecasting, which is a specific type of thinking, but Sense 1 is broader and fits the general skill set better.
    *   **3. definition=deem to be | synonyms=see, consider, view, regard:** This is close, but Sense 1 (believe/suppose) captures the active process of forming a thought/judgment better than the passive "deem."
    *   **4. definition=make a mathematical calculation or computation | synonyms=calculate, cipher, cypher, compute, work out, figure:** This is too narrow (only math).
    *   **5. definition=have faith or confidence in | synonyms=count, bet, depend, look, calculate:** This relates to reliance/trust, not general cognitive ability.
    *   **6. definition=take account of | synonyms=count:** This relates to inclusion/consideration, not general cognitive ability.

4.  **Conclusion:** The context "teach our children to read, write and reckon" implies teaching them how to think, believe, or form opinions. Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Context: Why ca not we teach our children to read, write and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do. It's that we do not <t>want</t> to. And the reason we do not want to is that effective education would require us to relinquish some cherished metaphysical beliefs about human nature in general and the human nature of young people in particular, well as to violate some cherished vested interests.

Senses:
1. definition=feel or have a desire for; want strongly | synonyms=desire | examples=I want to go home now; I want my own room
2. definition=have need of | synonyms=need, require | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner
3. definition=hunt or look for; want for a particular reason | examples=Your former neighbor is wanted by the FBI; Uncle Sam wants you
4. definition=wish or demand the presence of | examples=I want you here at noon!
5. definition=be without, lack; be deficient in | examples=want courtesy; want the strength to go on living

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "It's that we do not <t>want</t> to. And the reason we do not want to is that effective education would require us to relinquish some cherished metaphysical beliefs..."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "want" in the context:** The speaker is discussing the motivation or willingness of people (society/parents) to implement effective education. They are saying that they lack the *desire* or *will* to make the necessary changes (relinquish beliefs, violate interests).
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   **1. definition=feel or have a desire for; want strongly | synonyms=desire | examples=I want to go home now; I want my own room.** (This matches the idea of lacking the *desire* or *will*.)
    *   **2. definition=have need of | synonyms=need, require | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner.** (This is about necessity, not motivation/desire. Incorrect.)
    *   **3. definition=hunt or look for; want for a particular reason | examples=Your former neighbor is wanted by the FBI; Uncle Sam wants you.** (This is about being sought after. Incorrect.)
    *   **4. definition=wish or demand the presence of | examples=I want you here at noon!** (This is about demanding presence. Incorrect.)
    *   **5. definition=be without, lack; be deficient in | examples=want courtesy; want the strength to go on living.** (This is a state of lacking something, often abstractly. While related to lack, Sense 1 captures the active *lack of desire* better, which is the core meaning here.)
4.  **Select the best fit:** The phrase "we do not want to" refers to a lack of willingness or desire to undertake the difficult task of educational reform. Sense 1 ("feel or have a desire for; want strongly") is the most accurate fit.
5.  **Final check:** "We do not want to [change our beliefs]" = "We do not desire to [change our beliefs]." This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

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

Context: Why ca not we teach our children to read, write and reckon? It's not that we do not know how to, because we do. It's that we do not want to. And the <t>reason</t> we do not want to is that effective education would require us to relinquish some cherished metaphysical beliefs about human nature in general and the human nature of young people in particular, well as to violate some cherished vested interests. These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and even our parents that it seems almost blasphemous to challenge them.

Senses:
1. definition=a rational motive for a belief or action | synonyms=ground | examples=the reason that war was declared; the grounds for their declaration
2. definition=an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon | examples=the reason a steady state was never reached was that the back pressure built up too slowly
3. definition=the capacity for rational thought or inference or discrimination | synonyms=understanding, intellect | examples=we are told that man is endowed with reason and capable of distinguishing good from evil
4. definition=the state of having good sense and sound judgment | synonyms=rationality, reasonableness | examples=his rationality may have been impaired; he had to rely less on reason than on rousing their emotions
5. definition=a justification for something existing or happening | synonyms=cause, grounds | examples=he had no cause to complain; they had good reason to rejoice
6. definition=a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion | examples=there is reason to believe he is lying

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "And the <t>reason</t> we do not want to is that effective education would require us to relinquish some cherished metaphysical beliefs about human nature in general and the human nature of young people in particular, well as to violate some cherished vested interests."

2.  **Determine the function of "reason" in the context:**
    *   The structure is "The reason [that] we do not want to is that [X]."
    *   [X] ("effective education would require us to relinquish...") is presented as the *explanation* or *motive* for the action ("we do not want to").
    *   It answers the question: "Why do we not want to?"

3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **1. definition=a rational motive for a belief or action | synonyms=ground | examples=the reason that war was declared; the grounds for their declaration**
        *   *Fit:* The context provides the motive/ground for the lack of desire ("we do not want to"). This is a strong candidate.

    *   **2. definition=an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon | examples=the reason a steady state was never reached was that the back pressure built up too slowly**
        *   *Fit:* The context is providing an explanation (the cause/reason) for the phenomenon (not wanting to teach). This is also a very strong candidate, perhaps slightly broader than Sense 1, but functionally equivalent here.

    *   **3. definition=the capacity for rational thought or inference or discrimination | synonyms=understanding, intellect | examples=we are told that man is endowed with reason and capable of distinguishing good from evil**
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *ability* to think rationally (e.g., "He used reason to solve the problem"). The context is not about ability; it's about the *cause* of a decision. (Reject)

    *   **4. definition=the state of having good sense and sound judgment | synonyms=rationality, reasonableness | examples=his rationality may have been impaired; he had to rely less on reason than on rousing their emotions**
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *quality* of being rational (e.g., "His reasoning was sound"). The context is not about the quality of thought; it's about the *motive*. (Reject)

    *   **5. definition=a justification for something existing or happening | synonyms=cause, grounds | examples=he had no cause to complain; they had good reason to rejoice**
        *   *Fit:* This is essentially synonymous with Sense 1 and Sense 2. It functions as the justification/cause for the lack of desire. (Strong candidate)

    *   **6. definition=a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion | examples=there is reason to believe he is lying**
        *   *Fit:* This is a specific type of logical support (a premise for a conclusion). While related, the context is giving a *causal explanation* for a *state of being* (not wanting to), not providing a logical premise for a conclusion. (Less precise)

4.  **Refine the choice between 1, 2, and 5:**
    *   The phrase "the reason we do not want to" is asking for the *cause* or *motive*.
    *   Sense 1 (rational motive/ground) is perfect.
    *   Sense 2 (explanation of the cause) is perfect.
    *   Sense 5 (justification/cause/grounds) is perfect.

5.  **Select the best fit based on typical usage and provided definitions:**
    *   When "reason" is used to explain *why* an action or state exists ("The reason X is Y"), it is functioning as a cause or explanation.
    *   Sense 1 focuses specifically on a "rational motive for a belief or action." The context is about a lack of desire/action, and the explanation provided is a complex, rational argument (metaphysical beliefs, vested interests).
    *   Sense 5 uses the synonyms "cause, grounds," which aligns perfectly with the function of the sentence.

    *Self-Correction/Final Check:* Sense 1 ("a rational motive for a belief or action") captures the nuance that the explanation provided (relinquishing beliefs) is a *rational* argument for the decision not to teach. Sense 5 ("a justification for something existing or happening") is also correct, but Sense 1 is slightly more precise regarding the *nature* of the explanation (it is a rational motive). Given the options, Sense 1 is the most precise fit for a complex, argumentative explanation.

6.  **Final Answer Selection:** 1.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "And the reason we do not want to is that <t>effective</t> education would require us to relinquish some cherished metaphysical beliefs about human nature in general and the human nature of young people in particular, well as to violate some cherished vested interests."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "effective" in this context:** The sentence is discussing the *nature* of education that would achieve its goals (i.e., successfully teach reading, writing, and reckoning, as mentioned in the preceding sentence). The education must *work* or *achieve* results.

3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect; synonyms=effectual, efficacious; examples=effective teaching methods. (This aligns perfectly with the idea of education *achieving* its intended result.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively; synonyms=efficient; examples=effective personnel. (This is very close to Sense 1, focusing on the ability to accomplish a purpose.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=works well as a means or remedy; examples=an effective reprimand; a lotion that is effective in cases of prickly heat. (This focuses on the *utility* or *success* of a method/remedy, which fits "education" as a means.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=exerting force or influence; synonyms=good, in effect, in force; examples=the law is effective immediately. (This relates to validity or implementation, not necessarily successful outcome.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=existing in fact; not theoretical; real; examples=a decline in the effective demand. (This relates to reality/practicality, not necessarily success.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=ready for service; examples=the fort was held by about 100 effective soldiers. (This relates to readiness/availability.)

4.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 2, and 3):**

    *   The context is about *education* (a method/means).
    *   Sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result." (Strong fit)
    *   Sense 2: "able to accomplish a purpose." (Strong fit)
    *   Sense 3: "works well as a means or remedy." (Strong fit, specifically using "means")

5.  **Select the most precise match:** While 1, 2, and 3 are semantically close, Sense 1 ("producing or capable of producing an intended result") and Sense 2 ("able to accomplish a purpose") are often used interchangeably in academic contexts like this. Sense 3 is also highly relevant because education is a "means."

    *   Let's re-examine the phrasing: "effective education." This education must *work* to teach reading, writing, and reckoning.
    *   Sense 1 uses "intended result" and "efficacious," which is the standard definition for successful methods.
    *   Sense 2 uses "able to accomplish a purpose," which is also standard.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In many lexical databases, the distinction between "efficacious" (Sense 1) and "efficient" (Sense 2) is key. Efficacious means achieving the desired result (effectiveness), while efficient means achieving the result with minimal waste (efficiency). Since the context is about whether the education *works* (achieves the goal), Sense 1 (efficacious/producing intended result) is the most precise fit for the concept of successful educational outcomes. Sense 3 is also very good, but Sense 1 provides the broader, more formal definition of successful outcome.

6.  **Final Choice:** Sense 1.
