Target lemma: wash_away
Target surface form: washed away
Context:
They are inevitably inclined to echo the conventional pap, since this is the least controversial option that is open to them. Thus at the recent governors' conference on education, Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas announced that "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five. "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need. What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program. We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly <t>washed away</t>. Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=wash_away%2:30:01:: | definition=eliminate | examples=wash away all the differences
2. sense_key=wash_away%2:30:00:: | definition=remove by the application of water or other liquid and soap or some other cleaning agent | synonyms=wash, wash out, wash off | examples=he washed the dirt from his coat; The nurse washed away the blood

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "washed away" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

> "We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly **washed away**."

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "quickly washed away" follows a statement about an improvement in performance that diminishes over time.
- The implication is that the initial advantage or difference is erased or eliminated, suggesting a process of removal or nullification rather than a literal cleaning action.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1: eliminate**
   - **Definition:** eliminate
   - **Examples:** wash away all the differences
   - **Synonyms:** (none provided for this sense)
   - **Fit to Context:** This sense aligns with the idea of the initial advantage being erased or nullified, which matches the context of the difference being "quickly washed away."

2. **Sense 2: remove by the application of water or other liquid**
   - **Definition:** remove by the application of water or other liquid and soap or some other cleaning agent
   - **Synonyms:** wash, wash out, wash off
   - **Examples:** he washed the dirt from his coat; The nurse washed away the blood
   - **Fit to Context:** This sense implies a literal cleaning action, which does not fit the metaphorical use of "washed away" to describe the erasure of an educational advantage.

**Conclusion:**
The context clearly uses "washed away" metaphorically to indicate the elimination of an effect or difference, making **Sense 1 (eliminate)** the most appropriate choice.

**Final Answer:**
```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

raw_output:
The context shows that the phrase "Let us sum up what we do know about education..." is used to introduce a brief summary or recap of known facts about education and related reforms. This aligns with the definition "give a summary (of)" and the synonyms "summarize, summarise, resume," as well as the example "he summed up his results; I will now summarize." The other senses (determining a sum or being a summary itself) do not fit the context as well. Therefore, the best sense is the one that means to give a summary.

The best indexed sense is sense 1.

To determine the best sense for "know" in the context:

**Context:**
"We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away."

**Analysis of the context:**
- The sentence asserts a factual claim about the effects of early schooling.
- It implies possession of factual knowledge or awareness of a truth.
- The phrase "we know that" is used to state a known fact or piece of information.

**Evaluation of candidate senses:**
1. **sense_key=31:01** – "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about."
   - Directly matches the use of "we know that" to state a known fact.
2. **sense_key=31:03** – "know how to do or perform something."
   - Not applicable; the context is about knowing a fact, not a skill.
3. **sense_key=31:02** – "be aware of the truth of something; regard as true beyond any doubt."
   - Close, but implies a stronger conviction than the neutral factual assertion.
4. **sense_key=31:00** – "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object."
   - Irrelevant; the context is about a factual claim, not familiarity.
5. **sense_key=31:04** – "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations."
   - Not relevant; the context is about an empirical fact, not personal experience.
6. **sense_key=31:06** – "accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority."
   - Irrelevant; the context does not involve acceptance of authority.
7. **sense_key=31:15** – "have fixed in the mind."
   - Could apply, but is less precise than sense 31:01 for stating a known fact.
8. **sense_key=35:00** – "have sexual intercourse with."
   - Clearly irrelevant.
9. **sense_key=31:11** – "know the nature or character of."
   - Not applicable; the context is about a specific factual claim, not character knowledge.
10. **sense_key=31:12** – "be able to distinguish, recognize as being different."
    - Irrelevant; the context is about knowing a fact, not distinguishing.
11. **sense_key=31:14** – "perceive as familiar."
    - Not the best fit; the context is about factual knowledge, not perception of familiarity.

**Conclusion:**
The context most closely aligns with **sense_key=31:01**, which captures the idea of possessing factual knowledge or awareness of a truth.

**Final JSON response:**
```json

To determine the best sense for "education" in the given context, let's analyze the surrounding text and the candidate senses:

**Context Analysis:**
- The passage discusses "a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five," referring to extending the "educational system" to pre-kindergarten years.
- It contrasts "child-care" with "educational program," indicating a focus on the process of learning and instruction.
- The text mentions "what we do know about **education** and about those education reforms that do work and do not work," emphasizing the activities and outcomes of educating.

**Candidate Senses Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1:** "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill"
   - Aligns with the discussion of extending the "educational system" and the focus on learning activities.
   - Synonyms like "instruction" and "teaching" match the context of educational reforms and policies.

2. **Sense 2:** "knowledge acquired by learning and instruction"
   - Refers more to the outcome (knowledge) rather than the process (activities) emphasized in the context.

3. **Sense 3:** "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge"
   - While related, it is broader and less specific to the institutional or systemic aspects discussed.

4. **Sense 4:** "the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)"
   - Too narrow; the context is about educational policies and systems, not just the profession.

5. **Sense 5:** "the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior)"
   - Not relevant to the discussion of educational policies and reforms.

6. **Sense 6:** "the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education"
   - Irrelevant to the general discussion of education as a concept.

**Conclusion:**
The context primarily focuses on the activities and processes involved in educating children, making **Sense 1** the most appropriate choice.

**Final Answer:**
```json

Target lemma: parental
Target surface form: Parental
Context:
Thus at the recent governors' conference on education, Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas announced that "this country needs a comprehensive child-development policy for children under five. "A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need. What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program. We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away. Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "<t>Parental</t> involvement "is a bad idea. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=parental%3:01:00:: | definition=designating the generation of organisms from which hybrid offspring are produced
2. sense_key=parental%3:00:00:: | definition=relating to or characteristic of or befitting a parent | synonyms=maternal, paternal | examples=parental guidance

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context discusses "Parental involvement" in the context of education and child development, specifically critiquing the idea that parental involvement is a bad idea. The term "parental" here refers to something relating to or characteristic of parents, as opposed to a biological sense related to parentage or hybrid offspring. The synonym "maternal" and "paternal" further support the idea of relating to parents, and the example "parental guidance" aligns with the educational context. Therefore, the best sense is the one that means "relating to or characteristic of or befitting a parent."

The correct sense index is 2.

Thus, the output is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}

The context discusses "schools" in the educational sense, specifically referring to the institutions where children receive education and the impact of early schooling on performance. The phrase "blame <t>schools</t> for the educational limitations of their children" clearly indicates that "schools" are being used to denote educational institutions. Among the candidate senses, sense 1 ("an educational institution") directly matches this usage, while sense 2 ("a building where young people receive education") is a more specific physical location, which is less appropriate given the broader educational discussion. Therefore, the best indexed sense is sense 1.

However, the instruction specifies to return the sense index as per the provided list, which maps to sense 1 as sense_key=school%1:14:00::. According to the list, sense 1 corresponds to index 1. But the instruction also states to return the sense index as per the mapping provided in the examples, which indicates that sense 1 is indexed as 3 in the examples. Therefore, the correct sense index to return, following the instruction to use the examples mapping, is 3.

Thus, the answer is:

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for the word "educational" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

- The sentence discusses "extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years" and contrasts it with a "child-care program, not an educational program."
- Later, it mentions "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school," referring to "the <t>educational</t> limitations of their children."

The context emphasizes the **process of education** and its involvement in children's development, rather than merely providing knowledge. The focus is on the broader educational system and its impact on children's learning and limitations, aligning with the definition of "relating to the process of education."

Comparing the candidate senses:
1. **Sense 1**: "relating to the process of education" fits the context well, as it captures the systemic and developmental aspects discussed.
2. **Sense 2**: "providing knowledge" is too narrow and does not encompass the systemic and parental involvement aspects highlighted.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **Sense 1**.

The JSON response is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

Target lemma: limitation
Target surface form: limitations
Context:
A comprehensive development policy for governors over 30 would seem to be a more pressing need. What Gov. Clinton is advocating, in effect, is extending the educational system down to the pre-kindergarten years. Whether desirable or not, this is a child-care program, not an educational program. We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away. Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational <t>limitations</t> of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school.

Candidate senses:

raw_output:
The sentence discusses "educational limitations" of children, suggesting that these limitations are factors that restrict or constrain the effectiveness of education for the children. The context implies a discussion of constraints or shortcomings in the educational system rather than a legal time period, a formal regulation, or a general principle. The most fitting sense is the one describing the quality of being limited or restricted in the context of education.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json

To determine the best sense for "see" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

> "They should **see** to it that their kids do not play truant; they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should scrutinize the report card."

The phrase "see to it" is a common idiomatic expression meaning **to ensure or take care of something**. This aligns with the definition and examples provided for sense_key=see%2:31:03, which is:

- **Definition:** see or watch; be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something.
- **Synonyms:** check, insure, see to it, ensure, control, ascertain.
- **Examples:** "See that the curtains are closed"; "I must see about this matter."

The context involves parents ensuring their children do not play truant, spend time on homework, and scrutinize report cards, all of which require taking specific actions to guarantee these outcomes. This matches the sense of **making certain or ensuring** something happens, as described in sense_key=see%2:31:03.

Other senses, such as perceiving by sight (sense_key=see%2:39:00::) or perceiving mentally (sense_key=see%2:31:01::), do not fit the idiomatic usage of "see to it" in this context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **sense_key=see%2:31:03**.

**Answer:**

The context refers to "their kids" in the discussion of parental involvement in children's education, homework, and school attendance. This clearly indicates a reference to children as human offspring, not to any of the other senses (young goat, leather, dramatist, or a generic young person without the specific connection to offspring).
