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

Context: These beliefs so dominate our educational establishment, our media, our politicians, and even our parents that it seems almost blasphemous to challenge them. Here is an example. If I were to ask a sample of American parents, "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children? "the near-unanimous answer would be, "Yes, of course. "But what do we mean, specifically, by "creativity "? No one can say. In practice, it ends up being equated with a "self-expression "that <t>encourages</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=contribute to the progress or growth of | synonyms=promote, advance, boost, further | examples=I am promoting the use of computers in the classroom
2. definition=inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to
3. definition=spur on | examples=His financial success encouraged him to look for a wife

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

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The relevant sentence is: "In practice, it ends up being equated with a 'self-expression' that <t>encourages</t> the youngsters' 'self-esteem.'"
    *   The relationship is between "self-expression" and "self-esteem."
    *   The self-expression *causes* or *leads to* an increase in the youngsters' self-esteem.

3.  **Analyze the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=contribute to the progress or growth of | synonyms=promote, advance, boost, further | examples=I am promoting the use of computers in the classroom.
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=spur on | examples=His financial success encouraged him to look for a wife.

4.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   *Context:* Self-expression leads to/boosts/promotes self-esteem.
    *   *Sense 1:* "Contribute to the progress or growth of." This fits perfectly. Boosting self-esteem is a form of contributing to its growth/progress.
    *   *Sense 2:* "Inspire with confidence; give hope or courage to." While self-esteem relates to confidence, the action of "self-expression" is more about *causing* the increase (promoting/boosting) rather than *giving* hope or courage in a motivational sense.
    *   *Sense 3:* "Spur on." This is similar to Sense 1, but Sense 1's definition ("contribute to the progress or growth of") is a more precise fit for the abstract concept of "self-esteem."

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 (promote, advance, boost) is the best fit for "encourages the youngsters' self-esteem."

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

"The <t>result</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise; his decision had depressing consequences for business

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Context snippet: "The <t>result</t> is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves."
    *   The word "result" is used to describe the *outcome* or *consequence* of the preceding discussion (the push for "creativity" in education).

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater...; his decision had depressing consequences...
        *   *Match Check:* The generation of young people is the *consequence* or *outcome* of the educational philosophy discussed. This is a strong match.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem | synonyms=solution, answer, resolution, solvent | examples=they were trying to find a peaceful solution...
        *   *Match Check:* The context is not about finding a solution to a problem; it is describing an outcome. (No match).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=something that results | synonyms=resultant, final result, outcome, termination | examples=he listened for the results on the radio
        *   *Match Check:* This is also a strong match (outcome/final result). However, Sense 1 specifically emphasizes the *causal* relationship ("follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon"), which is exactly what is happening here (the educational philosophy *caused* the generation). Sense 3 is broader ("something that results").

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause | synonyms=resultant role
        *   *Match Check:* This is a technical linguistic definition (thematic role) and does not fit the usage in the sentence. (No match).

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Context: [Action/Philosophy] -> [Result/Outcome].
    *   Sense 1: Focuses on the *causal link* (A causes B).
    *   Sense 3: Focuses on the *state* (B is the outcome).
    *   Since the sentence explicitly links the negative characteristics of the generation to the preceding educational philosophy ("The result is a generation..."), the sense emphasizing the *consequence* or *effect* (Sense 1) is the most precise fit.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct sense.

5. definition=not tried or tested by experience | synonyms=unseasoned, untested, untried | examples=unseasoned artillery volunteers; still untested in battle

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

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The sentence containing the target word is: "The result is a generation of <t>young</t> people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves."
    *   The word "young" modifies "people" (a generation of people).
    *   The context discusses a generation of people who are characterized by ignorance and intellectual incompetence, despite having high self-esteem.

3.  **Analyze the target word's usage:** "young people" refers to individuals who are in an early stage of life or development.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=(used of living things especially persons) in an early period of life or development or growth | synonyms=immature | examples=young people.
        *   *Match?* Yes. "Young people" fits this definition perfectly.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(of crops) harvested at an early stage of development; before complete maturity | synonyms=new | examples=new potatoes; young corn.
        *   *Match?* No. The context refers to people, not crops.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=suggestive of youth; vigorous and fresh | synonyms=youthful, vernal | examples=he is young for his age.
        *   *Match?* Possible, but less precise than Sense 1. While they are young, the context emphasizes their *lack* of development/knowledge (ignorance, incompetence), which aligns more with the developmental stage (Sense 1) than just vigor (Sense 3).

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=being in its early stage | examples=a young industry; the day is still young.
        *   *Match?* No. This sense is typically used for abstract concepts, industries, or periods (not primarily people).

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=not tried or tested by experience | synonyms=unseasoned, untested, untried | examples=unseasoned artillery volunteers; still untested in battle.
        *   *Match?* This sense relates to lack of experience, which is related to the description ("ignorance and intellectual incompetence"). However, Sense 1 is the primary, general definition for "young people" (referring to age/developmental stage), while Sense 5 is a specific nuance (lack of experience). Since the context is describing a *generation* (a group of people) and the primary meaning is age/developmental stage, Sense 1 is the most direct and encompassing fit.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit for "young people" in the context of a generation being described by their developmental stage.

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

Senses:
1. definition=be compatible, similar or consistent; coincide in their characteristics | synonyms=fit, correspond, check, jibe, gibe, tally | examples=The two stories don't agree in many details; The handwriting checks with the signature on the check
2. definition=provide funds complementary to | examples=The company matched the employees' contributions
3. definition=bring two objects, ideas, or people together | synonyms=mate, couple, pair, twin | examples=This fact is coupled to the other one; Matchmaker, can you match my daughter with a nice young man?

10. definition=make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching | synonyms=equal, equalize, equalise, equate | examples=let's equalize the duties among all employees in this office; The company matched the discount policy of its competitors

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "matched" in the sentence: "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is <t>matched</t> only by their good opinion of themselves."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "matched" in this specific context:** The sentence is setting up a comparison. The level of "ignorance and intellectual incompetence" is being compared to the level of "good opinion of themselves." The structure "is matched only by" implies that the good opinion of themselves is *equal to* or *as great as* the ignorance/incompetence.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. be compatible, similar or consistent (coincide in characteristics). (Possible, but usually implies agreement, not necessarily equivalence in negative quality.)
    *   2. provide funds complementary to. (Irrelevant - financial.)
    *   3. bring two objects, ideas, or people together (mate, couple). (Irrelevant - pairing.)
    *   4. be equal to in quality or ability (equal, touch, rival). (Highly relevant. The incompetence is equaled by the good opinion.)
    *   5. make correspond or harmonize (fit). (Less likely; "matched" here is a state of being, not an action of fitting.)
    *   6. satisfy or fulfill (meet, cope with). (Irrelevant.)
    *   7. give or join in marriage. (Irrelevant.)
    *   8. set into opposition or rivalry (pit, oppose). (Irrelevant - the relationship is one of equivalence, not opposition.)
    *   9. be equal or harmonize (The two pieces match). (Relevant, but often used for aesthetics/harmony, not necessarily equivalence in quality/ability.)
    *   10. make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching (equalize, equate). (Relevant, as it describes the state of being equal, but Sense 4 focuses specifically on the comparison of quality/ability, which fits the tone of the sentence better.)

4.  **Compare the best candidates (4, 9, 10):**

    *   Sense 4: "be equal to in quality or ability." (The incompetence is *equal* to the good opinion.) This perfectly captures the comparative meaning in the sentence.
    *   Sense 9: "be equal or harmonize." (Too general; often used for visual harmony.)
    *   Sense 10: "make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching." (This is often used as an active verb, e.g., "The teacher matched the test to the curriculum." Here, it is a passive state: "is matched.")

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4, "be equal to in quality or ability," is the most precise fit for the meaning of "is matched only by" in the context of comparing intellectual incompetence to self-esteem.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched <t>only</t> by their good opinion of themselves."

2.  **Determine the function of "only" in this specific sentence:** The sentence structure is "A is matched only by B." This means that B is the *only* thing that matches A.

3.  **Identify the relationship between the elements:**
    *   A = ignorance and intellectual incompetence (a negative quality).
    *   B = their good opinion of themselves (a positive quality).
    *   The phrase "matched only by" implies that B is the sole equivalent or counterpart to A.

4.  **Evaluate the senses of "only":**

    *   1. definition=and nothing more | synonyms=merely, simply, just, but (Focuses on limitation of scope/nature, e.g., "merely asking"). *Does not fit the comparison structure.*
    *   2. definition=without any others being included or involved | synonyms=entirely, exclusively, solely, alone (Focuses on exclusivity/singularity). *This fits the structure "matched only by B" - B is the sole match.*
    *   3. definition=with nevertheless the final result | examples=He arrived only to find his wife dead; We won only to lose again in the next round (Focuses on unexpected outcome/consequence). *Does not fit.*
    *   4. definition=in the final outcome | examples=These news will only make you more upset (Focuses on inevitability/result). *Does not fit.*
    *   5. definition=except that | examples=It was the same story; only this time she came out better (Focuses on exception). *Does not fit.*
    *   6. definition=never except when | synonyms=only if, only when (Focuses on conditionality/time). *Does not fit.*
    *   7. definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago (Focuses on time proximity). *Does not fit.*

5.  **Confirm the best fit:** Sense 2 ("without any others being included or involved," synonyms: exclusively, solely) perfectly captures the meaning of "matched only by." It means that their good opinion of themselves is the *sole* thing that matches their ignorance.

6.  **Final Answer Formulation:** Return only the number 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "their <t>good</t> opinion of themselves."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "good" in this specific phrase:** Here, "good" modifies "opinion." It means the opinion is positive, favorable, or high in quality/value.
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   1. having desirable or positive qualities (e.g., good news, good report card). -> Fits well. A "good opinion" is a positive opinion.
    *   2. having the normally expected amount. -> No.
    *   3. morally admirable. -> Not necessarily moral; it's about self-perception/value.
    *   4. deserving of esteem and respect. -> Possible, but usually applied to people/names (good name).
    *   5. promoting or enhancing well-being (beneficial). -> Not quite. It's about the *quality* of the opinion, not its health benefits.
    *   6. agreeable or pleasing (e.g., good time, good manners). -> Fits. A "good opinion" is a pleasing/favorable one.
    *   7. of moral excellence. -> Too strong (moral).
    *   8. having or showing knowledge and skill. -> No.
    *   9. thorough. -> No.
    *   10. with or in a close or intimate relationship. -> No.
    *   11. financially sound. -> No.
    *   12. most suitable or right for a particular purpose. -> Possible, but less direct than 1 or 6.
    *   13. resulting favorably. -> No (it's an adjective describing the opinion, not the result of an action).
    *   14. exerting force or influence. -> No.
    *   15. capable of pleasing (good looks). -> Fits, similar to 6.
    *   16. appealing to the mind (serious). -> No.
    *   17. in excellent physical condition. -> No.
    *   18. tending to promote physical well-being. -> No.
    *   19. not forged. -> No.
    *   20. not left to spoil. -> No.
    *   21. generally admired. -> Possible, but less precise than 1 or 6.

4.  **Compare the best fits (1, 6, 15):**
    *   Sense 1: "having desirable or positive qualities." (A good opinion has positive qualities.)
    *   Sense 6: "agreeable or pleasing." (A good opinion is pleasing/favorable.)
    *   Sense 15: "capable of pleasing." (Similar to 6.)

5.  **Select the most encompassing and standard definition:** Sense 1 ("having desirable or positive qualities") is the most general and accurate fit for describing a positive self-perception or a favorable opinion. Sense 6 is also very strong, but Sense 1 covers the broad concept of "positive quality" which is what a "good opinion" represents.

6.  **Final check:** "Good opinion" = a positive/desirable opinion. This matches Sense 1.

Context: Here is an example. If I were to ask a sample of American parents, "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children? "the near-unanimous answer would be, "Yes, of course. "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 <t>opinion</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty | synonyms=sentiment, persuasion, view, thought | examples=my opinion differs from yours; I am not of your persuasion
2. definition=a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof | synonyms=view | examples=his opinions appeared frequently on the editorial page
3. definition=a belief or sentiment shared by most people; the voice of the people | synonyms=public opinion, popular opinion, vox populi | examples=he asked for a poll of public opinion
4. definition=the legal document stating the reasons for a judicial decision | synonyms=legal opinion, judgment, judgement | examples=opinions are usually written by a single judge
5. definition=the reason for a court's judgment (as opposed to the decision itself) | synonyms=ruling
6. definition=a vague idea in which some confidence is placed | synonyms=impression, feeling, belief, notion | examples=his impression of her was favorable; what are your feelings about the crisis?

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good <t>opinion</t> of themselves."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "opinion" in this specific context:** The context describes young people who are intellectually incompetent but have a positive view of themselves. "Good opinion of themselves" means they have high self-regard, confidence, or a favorable self-assessment.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses against the determined meaning:**

    *   **Sense 1:** a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty (e.g., *my opinion differs from yours*). This fits the idea of a personal judgment about oneself.
    *   **Sense 2:** a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof (e.g., *his opinions appeared frequently on the editorial page*). This relates more to published views or statements, not necessarily self-perception.
    *   **Sense 3:** a belief or sentiment shared by most people; the voice of the people (e.g., *he asked for a poll of public opinion*). This is about collective sentiment, which is irrelevant to "good opinion of themselves."
    *   **Sense 4:** the legal document stating the reasons for a judicial decision (e.g., *opinions are usually written by a single judge*). This is legal jargon and irrelevant.
    *   **Sense 5:** the reason for a court's judgment (e.g., *synonyms=ruling*). This is legal jargon and irrelevant.
    *   **Sense 6:** a vague idea in which some confidence is placed (e.g., *his impression of her was favorable; what are your feelings about the crisis?*). This relates to impressions or feelings, which is close, but Sense 1 captures the idea of a *judgment* or *belief* about one's own worth more accurately than a vague impression.

4.  **Refine the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 6:**
    *   "Good opinion of themselves" is a judgment (a belief about one's own value/worth).
    *   Sense 1: "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty." (Fits perfectly: self-esteem/self-judgment).
    *   Sense 6: "a vague idea in which some confidence is placed." (Closer to "impression" or "feeling," but "opinion" here is a strong, positive self-assessment, which is a judgment).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, focusing on a personal judgment or belief, is the most accurate fit for "good opinion of themselves."

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

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The text discusses the concept of "creativity" in education.
    *   It describes how "creativity" is equated with "self-expression" and "self-esteem."
    *   The key sentence is: "The whole <t>notion</t> of 'creativity' in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction..."
    *   The word "notion" here refers to the *idea* or *concept* that "creativity" holds within the educational framework (specifically, the romanticized, anti-disciplined view).

3.  **Analyze the senses provided:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a vague idea in which some confidence is placed | synonyms=impression, feeling, belief, opinion. (Relates to a held belief or impression.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a general inclusive concept. (Relates to a broad, encompassing idea.)

    *   The context uses "notion" to mean the *idea* or *concept* of creativity as understood by the parents/system (a romanticized view).
    *   Sense 1 (vague idea, impression, belief, opinion) fits well, as the "notion" is a shared belief or impression about what creativity means.
    *   Sense 2 (general inclusive concept) also fits, as "creativity" is a broad concept.
    *   Sense 3 (odd or fanciful idea) is possible, given the description of the view as a "romantic rebellion," but Sense 1 and 2 are more general fits for the function of the word.
    *   Sense 4 is clearly incorrect (physical objects).

5.  **Refine the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   The phrase "The whole notion of 'creativity'..." implies the entire *conceptual framework* or *understanding* of creativity.
    *   Sense 2 ("a general inclusive concept") is the most precise fit for a broad, overarching idea like "creativity" in an academic/sociological context.
    *   Sense 1 ("a vague idea in which some confidence is placed") is also plausible, but Sense 2 captures the scope of the idea better.

6.  **Final check:** Does "The whole concept of 'creativity' in education..." match Sense 2? Yes.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit. (If the options were forced to be mutually exclusive, Sense 2 is the most formal and accurate description of a broad concept like "creativity.")

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses parents asking about encouraging creativity in elementary schools.
    *   It discusses how "creativity" in the context of schooling is interpreted (as self-expression, self-esteem).
    *   It contrasts this modern view with "disciplined instruction" and "authoritarian" methods.
    *   The phrase is: "The whole notion of 'creativity' in <t>education</t> was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction..."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "Education" in Context:**
    *   The discussion is about the *system* or *process* of schooling, teaching methods, and the goals of instruction (creativity vs. discipline).
    *   "Education" here refers to the overall system, the activities, and the methods used in schools.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **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 refers to the activities and methods of teaching/learning. The context is explicitly discussing the *methods* (disciplined instruction vs. creativity) within the schooling system. This is a strong match.

    *   **2. definition=knowledge acquired by learning and instruction | examples=it was clear that he had a very broad education**
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *result* (the knowledge itself). The context is discussing the *process* and *philosophy* of the schooling, not the knowledge gained. (Weak fit).

    *   **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 close to Sense 1, focusing on the *process*. However, Sense 1 (activities/instruction/pedagogy) is a more precise fit for the discussion of specific teaching *methods* (creativity vs. discipline).

    *   **4. definition=the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)**
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the *profession* (the teacher). The context refers to the *system* or *curriculum*, not the job title. (Poor fit).

    *   **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 is the sense of social refinement/manners. The context is academic/pedagogical. (Poor fit).

    *   **6. definition=the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education...**
        *   *Fit:* This is the governmental agency. The context is philosophical/pedagogical. (Poor fit).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, which defines education as the activities of educating or instructing (pedagogy/instruction), best captures the meaning of "education" when discussing the philosophical debate over teaching methods (creativity vs. discipline) in schools.

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. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The passage discusses the concept of "creativity" in education.
    *   It contrasts modern educational approaches (focusing on "self-expression" and "self-esteem") with older, "disciplined instruction."
    *   The phrase in question is: "The whole notion of 'creativity' in education was (and is) part and parcel of a <t>romantic</t> rebellion against disciplined instruction..."
    *   The text continues: "...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."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "romantic" in the context:**
    *   The rebellion is against "disciplined instruction" and "authoritarian" methods.
    *   It champions "latent talents" and "potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."
    *   The text describes this approach as "romantic extravagance."
    *   This usage aligns with an idealistic, emotionally driven, and perhaps impractical rejection of strict rules, characteristic of the Romantic Movement or the general concept of idealism.

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.
        *   *Fit:* The context explicitly links the notion of creativity/rebellion to a movement/ideology ("part and parcel of a romantic rebellion"). This is a strong fit.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=expressive of or exciting sexual love or romance | synonyms=amatory, amorous | examples=her amatory affairs; amorous glances.
        *   *Fit:* No mention of sexual love or romance. (Poor fit).

    *   **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.
        *   *Fit:* The phrase "romantic extravagance" and the description of the rebellion as prioritizing "potentialities" over "disciplined instruction" strongly suggests idealism and lack of practicality. This is also a very strong fit, as the Romantic Movement (Sense 1) is often characterized by the traits in Sense 3.

5.  **Refine the choice (Sense 1 vs. Sense 3):**
    *   The text uses "romantic rebellion" (Sense 1) and "romantic extravagance" (Sense 3).
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *movement* or *style* (Romanticism).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *quality* (idealistic, unrealistic).
    *   Since the passage frames the concept as being "part and parcel of a romantic rebellion," the primary reference is to the *ideological movement* (Romanticism). While the *nature* of that movement is idealistic (Sense 3), the specific usage here is tied to the historical/cultural concept of Romanticism (Sense 1).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most precise fit because the text explicitly refers to a "romantic rebellion," linking the concept to the historical/artistic movement. (Sense 3 is a close secondary meaning, but Sense 1 captures the specific cultural reference.)

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

    *   While it is a form of opposition, it is not described as a large-scale, organized, physical conflict (like an insurrection or revolt). It is a conceptual, cultural, or pedagogical shift.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 (refusal to accept some authority or code or convention) is the most accurate fit.

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

Context: If I were to ask a sample of American parents, "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children? "the near-unanimous answer would be, "Yes, of course. "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 <t>disciplined</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=obeying the rules
2. definition=trained mentally or physically by instruction or exercise | examples=the beautiful coordination of his disciplined muscles; a disciplined mind

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses the shift in educational philosophy.
    *   It contrasts "creativity" (seen as self-expression, anti-authoritarian) with "disciplined instruction."
    *   "Disciplined instruction" is described as "authoritarian," "a repression and frustration of the latent talents."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    *   Target word: "disciplined"
    *   Usage: "The whole notion of 'creativity' in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against *disciplined* instruction..."
    *   In this context, "disciplined instruction" refers to teaching that emphasizes structure, rules, control, and adherence to a curriculum/methodology.

4.  **Analyze the Provided Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=obeying the rules
    *   Sense 2: definition=trained mentally or physically by instruction or exercise | examples=the beautiful coordination of his disciplined muscles; a disciplined mind

5.  **Match the Usage to the Senses:**
    *   *Does "disciplined instruction" mean "obeying the rules" (Sense 1)?* Yes, instruction that is disciplined is instruction that enforces rules and structure.
    *   *Does "disciplined instruction" mean "trained mentally or physically by instruction or exercise" (Sense 2)?* Yes, instruction *is* training.

6.  **Refine the Match (Contextual Nuance):**
    *   The passage frames "disciplined instruction" as the *opposite* of free, creative self-expression. It is presented as rigid, controlling, and authoritarian.
    *   While Sense 2 (trained) is technically correct for instruction, Sense 1 (obeying the rules/structure) captures the *negative connotation* and the *nature* of the rebellion described (rebellion against authoritarian control/rules).
    *   However, let's look closely at the definitions provided.
        *   Sense 1: Focuses on the *state* of obedience.
        *   Sense 2: Focuses on the *process* of training/instruction.
    *   "Disciplined instruction" is fundamentally instruction that *trains* (Sense 2). The training involves adherence to rules (Sense 1).
    *   Since the instruction itself is the subject, Sense 2 ("trained mentally or physically by instruction or exercise") is the most direct definition of what "disciplined instruction" means.

7.  **Final Check:** If the instruction is "disciplined," it means it is structured and rigorous, meaning it is *trained* (Sense 2). The context supports this: it is a system of instruction that is being rejected in favor of unstructured creativity.

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "disciplined instruction." (Self-correction: Although Sense 1 is related, Sense 2 defines the *action* of the instruction.)

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill | synonyms=education, teaching, pedagogy, didactics, educational activity | *Context fit:* "Disciplined instruction" perfectly fits this definition. It refers to the structured activities of teaching/education. (Highly likely)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the profession of a teacher | synonyms=teaching, pedagogy | *Context fit:* The context is discussing the *method* (instruction), not the *profession* (the person who instructs). (Incorrect)

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses the shift in educational philosophy.
    *   The new philosophy emphasizes "creativity," "self-expression," and "self-esteem."
    *   This new approach is described as a "romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word's Usage:**
    *   "Disciplined instruction" is being contrasted with "creativity."
    *   "Disciplined instruction" is being characterized as "authoritarian."

4.  **Evaluate Sense 1:**
    *   *Definition:* Characteristic of an absolute ruler or absolute rule; having absolute sovereignty.
    *   *Synonyms:* autocratic, dictatorial, despotic, tyrannic.
    *   *Fit to Context:* While "disciplined instruction" can be strict, the context is focused on the *effect* of the instruction (repression of talent), not necessarily the existence of a single, absolute ruler or regime. This sense is too political/governmental.

5.  **Evaluate Sense 2:**
    *   *Definition:* Expecting unquestioning obedience.
    *   *Synonyms:* dictatorial, overbearing.
    *   *Fit to Context:* "Disciplined instruction" that leads to "repression and frustration of the latent talents" strongly implies a system that demands conformity and discourages independent thought or questioning. This aligns perfectly with the idea of "expecting unquestioning obedience" or being "overbearing" in its demands for structure.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 captures the meaning of "authoritarian" as applied to a system (education/instruction) that demands strict adherence and suppresses individuality, which is the central conflict described in the passage.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense (1 or 2) of the word "potentialities" is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses the concept of "creativity" in education.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word ("potentialities") in Context:**
    *   The potentialities are described as "latent talents" and are "inherent in the souls of all our children."

5.  **Compare Context to Senses:**
    *   The phrase "latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities" strongly suggests innate, undeveloped *capacities* or *powers* (Sense 1).
    *   While Sense 2 (aptitude that may be developed) is related, Sense 1 captures the idea of something *inherent* and *waiting to come into being* (latent), which is the core meaning when discussing the "soul" and "inherent" nature of these qualities. The talents themselves are the inherent capacities.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 ("the inherent capacity for coming into being") is the most accurate fit for "latent talents" and "inherent potentialities."

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

Context: If I were to ask a sample of American parents, "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children? "the near-unanimous answer would be, "Yes, of course. "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 <t>inherent</t> in the souls of all our children. It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive.

Senses:
1. definition=existing as an essential constituent or characteristic | synonyms=built-in, constitutional, inbuilt, integral | examples=the Ptolemaic system with its built-in concept of periodicity; a constitutional inability to tell the truth
2. definition=in the nature of something though not readily apparent | synonyms=implicit in, underlying | examples=shortcomings inherent in our approach; an underlying meaning

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

2.  **Analyze the context sentence:** "...a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities <t>inherent</t> in the souls of all our children."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "inherent" in this context:**
    *   The sentence refers to "latent talents and potentialities."
    *   These talents/potentialities are *in* the souls of the children.
    *   They are not necessarily obvious ("latent"), but they are fundamentally part of the children's nature/being.
    *   The word suggests that these talents are naturally present or existing within them, even if they haven't been developed or recognized yet.

4.  **Evaluate Sense 1:**
    *   *Definition:* existing as an essential constituent or characteristic (built-in, constitutional, integral).
    *   *Fit:* While talents are essential characteristics, this sense often implies a fixed, structural, or definitional component (like a built-in feature of a system).
    *   *Example:* "The Ptolemaic system with its built-in concept of periodicity." (A structural feature).
    *   *Context check:* Are the talents a *structural* part of the soul, or are they *present* within the soul? Sense 2 seems closer to the idea of something being *in* nature but not immediately visible.

5.  **Evaluate Sense 2:**
    *   *Definition:* in the nature of something though not readily apparent (implicit in, underlying).
    *   *Fit:* "Latent talents" perfectly matches "not readily apparent." The talents are "in the nature of" the children's souls.
    *   *Example:* "shortcomings inherent in our approach; an underlying meaning." (Something present but not obvious).
    *   *Context check:* The phrase "latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls" strongly supports the idea that these potentials are *underlying* or *implicit* in their nature.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit. The talents are present in the children's nature but are not yet manifest (latent/undefined).

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 2.
