raw_output:
The word "yet" in the sentence "the wonderful, if as <t>yet</t> undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children" is used to indicate that something has not been defined or determined up to the present time. This aligns with the sense of "up to the present time" and the synonym list that includes "so far," "thus far," "up to now," "hitherto," "heretofore," and "as yet." Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one defined as "used in negative statement to describe a situation that has existed up to this point or up to the present time."

The corresponding sense key is yet%4:02:04::, which matches the context and usage.

Thus, the correct sense index is 2.

"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.

raw_output:
The context describes "potentialities" as "the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children." This usage aligns with the idea of an inherent capacity for coming into being or existing, rather than a developed aptitude. Therefore, the best sense is:

**sense_key=potentiality%1:26:00:: | definition=the inherent capacity for coming into being | synonyms=potential, potency**

raw_output:
The context discusses "the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children," emphasizing that these potentialities are an essential and natural part of the children. This aligns with the definition of **intrinsic**—existing as an essential constituent or characteristic. The synonyms "built-in," "constitutional," and "integral" further support this sense, as they all imply something that is naturally and fundamentally part of something else. The alternative sense of "implicit" (in the nature of something though not readily apparent) does not fit as well because the passage explicitly refers to these potentialities as inherent, suggesting they are obvious and essential rather than merely underlying or implicit.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one defined as "existing as an essential constituent or characteristic."

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

> "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance **so** attractive."

The word "so" here is used to explain why parents find the extravagance attractive, linking the preceding clause about romantic extravagance to the parents' attraction to it. This usage aligns with the definition of "so" meaning "in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied," which connects a cause to its effect.

Examining the candidate senses:

1. **to a very great extent or degree** – does not fit the explanatory role.
2. **in a manner that facilitates** – does not fit the context.
3. **in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied** – matches the explanatory link.
4. **to an unspecified extent or degree** – less precise for the explanatory function.
5. **in the same way; also** – does not fit.
6. **in the way indicated** – not applicable.
7. **(usually followed by `that`) to an extent or degree as expressed** – similar but less direct than sense 3.
8. **subsequently or soon afterward** – not relevant.
9. **(used to introduce a logical conclusion)** – not the logical conclusion here.
10. **in truth (often tends to intensify)** – not fitting.

The best match is **sense_key=so%4:02:05::**, which is "in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied."

Therefore, the correct sense index is 3.

raw_output:
The context describes why parents find the romantic notion of creativity in education "attractive": it is appealing to them because it aligns with their desire to boost their children's self-esteem and presents an interesting, appealing alternative to disciplined instruction. The word "attractive" here is used to convey that this idea is appealing or interesting to parents, rather than referring to physical beauty or a magnetic force. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is:

- **Definition:** having power to arouse interest
- **Example:** an attractive opportunity; the job is attractive because of the pay

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "same" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence:

> "Fortunately, these <t>same</t> parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

The word "same" here is used to refer to the parents mentioned earlier in the paragraph, indicating that these particular parents share a common characteristic with those previously discussed. The context suggests a comparison or equivalence between two groups of parents, emphasizing that they are alike in their desire for a traditional education for their children.

Now, let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1: same in identity**
   - Definition: same in identity
   - Examples: the same man I saw yesterday; never wore the same dress twice
   - This sense focuses on exact identity, which is not the primary emphasis here. The sentence is not about identical individuals but about shared characteristics.

2. **Sense 2: closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree**
   - Definition: closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree
   - Examples: curtains the same color as the walls; two girls of the same age
   - This sense aligns well with the context, as "same" is used to indicate that these parents are comparable or similar to the previously mentioned parents in their educational preferences.

3. **Sense 3: equal in amount or value**
   - Definition: equal in amount or value
   - Synonyms: like
   - Examples: like amounts; equivalent amounts
   - This sense pertains more to quantities or values, which does not fit the context of parental attitudes.

4. **Sense 4: unchanged in character or nature**
   - Definition: unchanged in character or nature
   - Examples: the village stayed the same; his attitude is the same as ever
   - This sense suggests persistence over time, which is not the focus here; the sentence is about similarity between groups, not persistence.

Given the analysis, **Sense 2** best captures the meaning of "same" in this context, as it refers to parents being closely similar or comparable in their educational views.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
```

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

> "Fortunately, these same parents do <t>want</t> their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

The sentence indicates that parents **desire** or **wish** for their children to receive a traditional education. This aligns with the idea of having a strong desire or need for something, which is captured by the sense:

- **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 context where parents "want" (desire) a specific educational outcome for their children. The other senses (need, hunt, wish for presence, lack) do not fit as well within this context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one that corresponds to "feel or have a desire for; want strongly," which is sense index 3.

**Answer:**
```json

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "get" in the context:

**Context:**
"parents do want their children to **get** a decent education as traditionally understood..."

The phrase "want their children to get a decent education" implies that the parents desire their children to **obtain** or **receive** a traditional education. This aligns with the idea of acquiring something (an education) rather than entering a state, being caused to act, or reaching a destination.

**Evaluation of candidate senses:**

1. **sense_key=get%2:40:00::** – "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire). This matches the idea of obtaining an education.
2. **sense_key=get%2:30:00::** – "enter or assume a certain state or condition" (become). Not fitting for obtaining an education.
3. **sense_key=get%2:30:02::** – "cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition" (let, have). Irrelevant.
4. **sense_key=get%2:30:03::** – "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" (receive, find, obtain, incur). Also plausible, but "receive" is more about being given rather than actively acquiring.
5. **sense_key=get%2:38:00::** – "reach a destination; arrive" (arrive, come). Not applicable.
6. **sense_key=get%2:35:03::** – "go or come after and bring or take back" (bring, convey, fetch). Irrelevant.
7. **sense_key=get%2:39:00::** – "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" (experience, receive, have). Not fitting.
8. **sense_key=get%2:33:00::** – "take vengeance on or get even" (pay back, pay off, fix). Irrelevant.
9. **sense_key=get%2:40:01::** – "achieve a point or goal" (have, make). Could apply, but less direct than acquiring.
10. **sense_key=get%2:32:00::** – "cause to do; cause to act" (induce, stimulate, cause, have, make). Not fitting.
11. **sense_key=get%2:35:09::** – "succeed in catching or seizing" (catch, capture). Irrelevant.
12. **sense_key=get%2:29:01::** – "come to have or undergo a change" (grow, develop, produce, acquire). Close, but more about development than obtaining.
13. **sense_key=get%2:29:00::** – "be stricken by an illness" (contract, take). Irrelevant.
14. **sense_key=get%2:32:03::** – "communicate with a place or person" (communicate). Irrelevant.
15. **sense_key=get%2:30:01::** – "give certain properties to something" (make). Irrelevant.
16. **sense_key=get%2:32:08::** – "move into a desired direction of discourse" (drive, aim). Irrelevant.
17. **sense_key=get%2:31:09::** – "grasp with the mind or develop an understanding" (catch). Irrelevant.
18. **sense_key=get%2:35:00::** – "attract and fix" (catch, arrest). Irrelevant.
19. **sense_key=get%2:35:10::** – "reach with a blow or hit" (catch). Irrelevant.
20. **sense_key=get%2:31:03::** – "reach by calculation" (What do you get when you add up these numbers?). Irrelevant.
21. **sense_key=get%2:40:14::** – "acquire as a result of some effort or action" (You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?). This is very close, but the primary focus is on the act of acquiring, which is captured by sense 1.
22. **sense_key=get%2:40:13::** – "purchase" (What did you get at the toy store?). Irrelevant.
23. **sense_key=get%2:39:13::** – "perceive by hearing" (I didn't catch that allusion). Irrelevant.
24. **sense_key=get%2:39:09::** – "receive as a retribution or punishment" (She will catch hell for this behavior!). Irrelevant.
25. **sense_key=get%2:39:14::** – "receive as a retribution or punishment" (He got 5 years in prison). Irrelevant.
26. **sense_key=get%2:38:15::** – "leave immediately" (Scram!). Irrelevant.
27. **sense_key=get%2:38:12::** – "reach and board" (She got the bus just as it was leaving). Irrelevant.
28. **sense_key=get%2:37:12::** – "irritate" (Her childish behavior really get to me). Irrelevant.
29. **sense_key=get%2:37:11::** – "evoke an emotional response" (Brahms's `Requiem' gets me every time). Irrelevant.
30. **sense_key=get%2:36:14::** – "apprehend and reproduce accurately" (She really caught the spirit of the place in her drawings). Irrelevant.

32. **sense_key=get%2:35:12::** – "overcome or destroy" (The ice storm got my hibiscus). Irrelevant.
33. **sense_key=get%2:31:10::** – "be a mystery or bewildering to" (This beats me!). Irrelevant.
34. **sense_key=get%2:30:12::** – "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" (We began working at dawn). Irrelevant.
35. **sense_key=get%2:29:11::** – "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" (She suffered a fracture in the accident). Irrelevant.
36. **sense_key=get%2:29:08::** – "make children" (Abraham begot Isaac). Irrelevant.

**Conclusion:** The context clearly indicates that parents want their children to **obtain** a decent education, which aligns best with **sense_key=get%2:40:00::** (acquire).

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

> "...they have enough common sense to know what that demands. Their commitment to "creativity" can not survive adolescent illiteracy. **Their commitment to "creativity" can not survive adolescent illiteracy.** Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a **<t>decent</t> education** as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands."

The phrase "a decent education as traditionally understood" implies an education that is **sufficient** and **adequate** for the purpose of providing proper knowledge and skills, aligning with the traditional view of education. The context emphasizes the necessity of a quality, sufficient education to counteract illiteracy.

Now, let's match this interpretation to the candidate senses:

1. **Respectable / refined**: This sense focuses on social or moral refinement, which does not directly address the sufficiency or adequacy of an education.
2. **According with custom or propriety**: This sense relates to propriety and decorum, which is more about behavior than the quality of an education.
3. **Conforming to conventions of sexual behavior**: Irrelevant to the context of education.
4. **Sufficient for the purpose**: Directly matches the idea of an education being adequate and meeting the necessary standards.
5. **Decently clothed**: Irrelevant to the context.
6. **Observing conventional sexual mores**: Irrelevant to the context.

The context clearly requires a sense that conveys the idea of an education being **adequate and sufficient** to meet traditional standards. Therefore, the best sense is:

**Sense 4: sufficient for the purpose**

Thus, the correct sense index is 3 (as per the instruction format).
