Target lemma: even
Target surface form: even
Context:
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 limitations of their children. Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school. 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. If parents are dissatisfied with a school, they should have the option of switching to another. -- "Community involvement "is an <t>even</t> worse idea. Here, the experience of New York City is decisive.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "even" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Community involvement is an even worse idea."

Here, "even" is used to intensify the comparison between "Parental involvement" being a "bad idea" and "Community involvement" being an idea that is worse than the former. The context implies a comparison where the degree of something (being a bad idea) is being intensified for "Community involvement".

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected". While "even" does indicate something unexpected or surprising, the primary function here seems to be comparative intensification rather than merely indicating surprise.

2. The second sense, "in spite of; notwithstanding", doesn't fit the context as "even" is not used to indicate a contrast or a condition being overcome.

3. The third sense is "to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons". The synonyms given are "yet" and "still", and an example is "looked sick and felt even worse". This matches our context perfectly because "even worse" is a comparative form where "even" intensifies the comparison, indicating that community involvement is not just bad but worse than parental involvement to an even greater extent.

4. The fourth sense, "to the full extent", is exemplified by "loyal even unto death". This doesn't fit the context as "even" is not used here to indicate a full extent but rather to compare degrees.

Given the context and the examples, the best fit for "even" in the sentence is the third sense, as it is used with a comparison ("worse idea") to indicate a greater degree or extent.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "worse" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context discusses the ideas of "parental involvement" and "community involvement" in education, concluding that the former is a bad idea and the latter is an even worse idea. The discussion revolves around the desirability and quality of these concepts in the context of educational reforms.

The target word "worse" is used comparatively to indicate that "community involvement" is of even lower quality or more undesirable than "parental involvement" in the context of educational reforms.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "worse" as the comparative of "bad," indicating something is inferior to another in quality or condition or desirability. The examples given, such as "this road is worse than the first one we took," align with the comparative usage in the context.

2. The second sense relates to a change for the worse in health or fitness, which doesn't directly apply to the context of evaluating the desirability of educational involvement ideas.

The other senses (3-16) are related to various meanings of "bad" and its synonyms, but they are not directly relevant to the comparative form "worse" used in the context.

Given the context and the comparative usage of "worse" to indicate that "community involvement" is more undesirable or of lower quality than "parental involvement," the most appropriate sense is the first one, which corresponds to sense_key=worse%3:00:00::.

Thus, the best indexed sense for "worse" in this context is 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "idea" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses education reforms, specifically criticizing "parental involvement" and "community involvement" as bad ideas. The sentence structure and the surrounding text indicate that the author is expressing a negative opinion or judgment about these concepts.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" with synonyms like "thought." The example given is "it was not a good idea," which aligns with the context where the author states that certain involvements are "a bad idea" and "an even worse idea." This suggests that the author is discussing a concept or thought that they believe is not good.

2. The second sense is about "your intention; what you intend to do" with a synonym "mind." While this could potentially fit in some contexts related to planning or intention, the given examples ("he had in mind to see his old teacher") don't directly align with the negative judgment expressed in the text.

3. The third sense refers to "a personal view." The example given is "he has an idea that we don't like him," indicating a personal belief or opinion. The context provided does involve the author's opinion or view on parental and community involvement in education.

4. The fourth sense is related to "an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth" with synonyms like "estimate" and "approximation." The context does not suggest that the author is discussing quantities or making estimates.

5. The fifth sense pertains to music, referring to the "melodic subject of a musical composition." This is clearly unrelated to the context.

Given the context, the use of "idea" is closest to expressing a thought or concept that the author is evaluating negatively. The first sense ("the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about") with the example "it was not a good idea" closely matches the usage in the text. The author is discussing concepts (parental and community involvement) and judging them as bad or worse ideas.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "idea" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Here" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing the idea of "Community involvement" in the context of school management and parental involvement. The sentence with "Here" is: "Here, the experience of New York City is decisive." This implies that the discussion is being brought to a specific point or aspect, where the experience of New York City serves as a crucial or decisive example.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to being "in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is." The example given is "I work here; turn here." This sense is more about physical location, which doesn't directly fit the context of discussing an abstract topic like community involvement.

2. The second sense is "in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail." The example is "what do we have here?; here I must disagree." This sense fits well because "Here" is used to refer to the specific context or point being discussed, which is "Community involvement."

3. The third sense, "to this place (especially toward the speaker)," is accompanied by the synonym "hither" and the example "come here, please." This sense implies movement towards a location, which doesn't fit the context.

4. The fourth sense is "at this time; now," with the example "we'll adjourn here for lunch and discuss the remaining issues this afternoon." This sense refers to a point in time, which is not the primary interpretation in the given context.

Given the context and the examples, "Here" is used to indicate a specific point or aspect of the discussion ("Community involvement"), where the experience of New York City is cited as decisive. This aligns with the second sense: "in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "Here" in the given context is the second sense.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "especially" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the involvement of parents in their children's education and criticizes the idea of "community involvement" in school governance, citing the experience of New York City as a decisive example. It mentions that locally elected school boards, especially in larger cities, become prey to corrupt local politicians.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "especially" is used to modify the phrase "in our larger cities," indicating that the phenomenon described (locally elected school boards becoming prey to corrupt politicians) is more pronounced or notable in larger cities.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" with synonyms like "particularly," "peculiarly," and "specially." The example given is "he was particularly fussy about spelling."
   - **Sense 2**: "in a special manner" with the synonym "specially." The example is "a specially arranged dinner."

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The use of "especially" in the context indicates that the issue with locally elected school boards is more significant or occurs to a greater extent in larger cities. This aligns with the definition of Sense 1, which implies a greater degree or extent than is common. The synonym "particularly" could be used in place of "especially" here without changing the meaning, supporting this interpretation.
   - Sense 2 implies a special manner, which doesn't fit the context. The issue isn't that the school boards are being preyed upon in a special or unique way in larger cities, but rather that the problem is more pronounced or common in those cities.

5. **Conclusion**: The context supports the interpretation that "especially" is used to indicate a greater extent or degree, making Sense 1 the most appropriate choice.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "especially" in the given context is Sense 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "cities" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the involvement of parents in their children's education and the concept of "community involvement" in the context of school governance. It specifically mentions the experience of New York City and the dynamics of locally elected school boards in larger cities.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "cities," which is a plural form of "city." The context in which "cities" is used refers to large urban areas, specifically mentioning "larger cities" and giving New York City as an example.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to "a large and densely populated urban area; may include several independent administrative districts." The synonyms provided are "metropolis" and "urban center." The example given is "Ancient Troy was a great city." This sense aligns with the general understanding of "city" as a large urban area.
   - **Sense 2**: Defines "city" as "an incorporated administrative district established by state charter." An example is given, "the city raised the tax rate." This sense focuses on the administrative or legal aspect of a city.
   - **Sense 3**: Describes "city" as "people living in a large densely populated municipality." The synonym provided is "metropolis," and the example is "the city voted for Republicans in 1994." This sense refers to the population or the collective inhabitants of a city.

4. **Disambiguation**:
   - The context mentions "larger cities" and specifically names "New York City" and "Chicago." Here, "cities" refers to large urban areas, not just their administrative or legal status.
   - While Sense 2 focuses on the administrative aspect, the passage does not directly discuss the administrative or legal status of cities but rather their characteristic of being large and having certain political dynamics.
   - Sense 3 refers to the people living in a city, which is not the primary focus when discussing "larger cities" in the context of school governance and local politics, although it could be argued that the people (or politicians) within these cities are being referenced indirectly.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The use of "larger cities" and the reference to specific cities like New York and Chicago suggest that the focus is on the urban areas themselves, rather than just their administrative status or their inhabitants.
   - Sense 1 directly corresponds to this understanding, as it defines a city as a large and densely populated urban area.

Given the context and the analysis above, the best indexed sense for "cities" is Sense 1, as it aligns with the reference to large urban areas.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "become" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

Here, "become" is used to indicate that the locally elected school boards enter into a certain state or condition, specifically becoming prey to certain types of politicians.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with synonyms "go" and "get". The examples given are "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious". This sense fits the context because "become the prey" means to enter into the state of being preyed upon or dominated by someone or something.

2. The second sense is "undergo a change or development" with the synonym "turn". Examples include "The water turned into ice; Her former friend became her worst enemy". While this sense involves change, the context provided doesn't necessarily imply a transformation or development over time in the same way the examples do.

3. The third sense is "come into existence" with the example "What becomes has duration". This doesn't directly fit the context because "become the prey" doesn't mean coming into existence but rather entering a certain state.

4. The fourth sense is "enhance the appearance of" with the synonym "suit". Examples are "Mourning becomes Electra; This behavior doesn't suit you!". This sense is unrelated to the context as "become" here is used to mean something looks good on or is appropriate for someone, which is not the case in the given sentence.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("enter or assume a certain state or condition") is the most appropriate because it accurately describes the process of the school boards entering into the state of being preyed upon or dominated by certain politicians.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "become" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "ambitious" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing the involvement of local politicians in school boards, describing them as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic." Here, "ambitious" is used alongside "corrupt" and "demagogic," which have negative connotations, suggesting that the politicians are driven by self-interest or a desire for power.

1. The first candidate sense defines "ambitious" as "having a strong desire for success or achievement." This sense aligns with the context because it implies that the local politicians are driven by a desire for success or achievement, likely in a political context. The term "ambitious" here could suggest that they are eager to advance their careers or increase their influence.

2. The second candidate sense defines "ambitious" as "requiring full use of your abilities or resources," with synonyms like "challenging." This sense does not fit the context as well because it describes a task or project rather than a person's character or motivation. The sentence is characterizing the politicians rather than describing a task they are undertaking.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("having a strong desire for success or achievement") is the most appropriate. It describes the politicians' drive for success or achievement, likely in terms of political power or influence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "ambitious" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "generally" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Locally elected school boards, especially in our larger cities, become the prey of ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians."

Here, "generally" is used to describe the characteristic of local politicians or would-be politicians, indicating that they are typically or usually corrupt.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "usually; as a rule" with synonyms "by and large, more often than not, mostly." The example given is "by and large it doesn't rain much here." This sense fits the context because "generally corrupt" implies that local politicians are usually or typically corrupt.

2. The second sense is "without distinction of one from others" with synonyms "in general, in the main." The example is "he is interested in snakes in general." This doesn't perfectly fit the context because the sentence is not talking about local politicians in general without distinction, but rather indicating a typical characteristic of them.

3. The third sense is "without regard to specific details or exceptions" with synonyms "broadly, loosely, broadly speaking." The example given is "he interprets the law broadly." This sense doesn't fit as well because "generally corrupt" is not about interpreting something broadly or without regard to specific details, but rather about the usual state of being corrupt.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("usually; as a rule") is the most appropriate because it indicates that local politicians are typically corrupt, aligning with the usage of "generally" in the sentence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "generally" in the given context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "local" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the involvement of parents in their children's education and the concept of "community involvement" in school governance, criticizing the influence of "local politicians" in this context, particularly in larger cities like New York.

1. The first candidate sense is defined as "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area." The example given is "local taxes; local authorities." This sense aligns with the context of "local politicians" being involved in the administration or governance of schools at a city or district level.

2. The second candidate sense is "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood," with examples like "local customs; local schools." While this sense could potentially fit the context of "local politicians," it leans more towards characteristics or institutions specific to a neighborhood or locality rather than the administrative or political aspect.

3. The third candidate sense refers to "affecting only a restricted part or area of the body," as in "local anesthesia." This sense is clearly unrelated to the context of politicians and school governance.

Given the context, the word "local" is used to describe politicians who are involved in or characteristic of the administration or governance at a city or district level. The first sense directly relates to the administration of a city or town, which fits the discussion about "local politicians" and their impact on school governance in cities like New York.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "local" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "politicians" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the involvement of parents in their children's education and criticizes the idea of "community involvement" in school governance, citing the experience of New York City. It specifically mentions that locally elected school boards become prey to "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians." The description of these politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic" suggests they are being used in a context that implies they are acting in self-interest or in a manipulative manner.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "a leader engaged in civil administration" - This definition doesn't directly imply the negative connotations or the specific behaviors (ambitious, corrupt, demagogic) described in the context.

2. **Sense 2**: "a person active in party politics" - This is a plausible definition since it directly relates to individuals involved in political activities. The synonyms provided (politico, pol, political leader) generally fit the context of individuals being involved in political maneuvers or governance.

3. **Sense 3**: "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways" - This definition closely aligns with the context's negative portrayal of politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic." It suggests that these individuals are acting in self-serving or manipulative ways, which matches the description given.

Given the context and the descriptions of the candidate senses, the use of "politicians" in the passage aligns most closely with **Sense 3**, as it emphasizes the scheming or manipulative aspect of their behavior, fitting the negative descriptors used.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "politicians" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the involvement of parents in their children's education and criticizes the concept of "community involvement" in school governance, citing the experience of New York City. It specifically mentions that locally elected school boards become prey to "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians or would-be politicians." The description of these politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic" suggests they are involved in party politics and are using their positions for personal or political gain.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "a leader engaged in civil administration" - While politicians can be leaders in civil administration, the context here focuses more on their involvement in party politics and their behavior (ambitious, corrupt, demagogic) rather than their role in civil administration.

2. **Sense 2**: "a person active in party politics" - The description of the politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic" aligns well with this sense. The context implies that these individuals are actively engaged in party politics and are using their influence in potentially corrupt ways.

3. **Sense 3**: "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways" - While this sense could apply to the behavior described (especially the term "corrupt" suggests underhanded behavior), it is more about the method of gaining advantage rather than the role or position of the individual.

Given the context, the term "politicians" is used to describe individuals who are "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic" and are involved in local politics, particularly in the context of school governance. The description best fits **Sense 2**, as it directly relates to being active in party politics, which is the primary context provided.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "politicians" in this context is **2**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "process" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance..."

Here, "process" refers to a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. The phrase "in the process of" is a common idiomatic expression indicating that something is being done or is in progress.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A particular course of action intended to achieve a result. This sense fits well with the context, as "process" here refers to the actions or steps New York is taking.
2. A cognitive process or operation. The context doesn't directly relate to mental or cognitive activities.
3. A writ issued by authority of law. This is a legal term and doesn't fit the context.
4. A mental process that you are not directly aware of. Again, this doesn't fit as the context is about an action being taken, not an unconscious mental process.
5. A natural prolongation or projection from a part of an organism. This is unrelated to the context.
6. A sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states. While this could potentially fit in some contexts, it's less directly related to the action or steps being taken than sense 1.

Given the context and the examples provided, the best fit for "process" is sense 1: "a particular course of action intended to achieve a result." This is because "in the process of" doing something implies a series of actions or steps towards achieving a goal, which aligns with the definition and examples of sense 1.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "trying" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance..."

Here, "trying" is used in the context of making an effort or attempting to do something, which is "to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment."

Let's look at the candidate senses:

1. Make an effort or attempt.
2. Put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to.
3. Put on trial or hear a case and sit as the judge at the trial of.
4. Take a sample of.
5. Examine or hear (evidence or a case) by judicial process.
6. Give pain or trouble to.
7. Test the limits of.
8. Melt (fat or lard) in order to separate out impurities.
9. Put on a garment in order to see whether it fits and looks nice.

The context clearly indicates that "trying" is about making an effort or attempting to disengage from a system. This matches with the first candidate sense: "make an effort or attempt." The synonyms provided for this sense are "seek, attempt, essay, assay," and the examples include "He tried to shake off his fears," which aligns with the usage in the given sentence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "trying" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "system" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the governance of schools, mentioning "Locally elected school boards" and the process of "trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance." This indicates that "system" refers to a method or structure of organizing or managing something, in this case, school governance.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **instrumentality that combines interrelated interacting artifacts designed to work as a coherent entity** - This refers to a device or machinery, which doesn't fit the context of school governance.
2. **a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole** - This is a broad definition that could apply, but it's somewhat generic.
3. **(physical chemistry) a sample of matter in different phases in equilibrium** - This is a very specific scientific definition that doesn't fit the context.
4. **a complex of methods or rules governing behavior** - This definition is relevant as it talks about methods or rules, which could apply to governance.
5. **an organized structure for arranging or classifying** - This is also relevant as it refers to an organization or arrangement, which could apply to a governance system.
6. **a group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts** - This refers to biological systems, not relevant here.
7. **a procedure or process for obtaining an objective** - This is relevant as it discusses a method or process, which could apply to governance.
8. **the living body considered as made up of interdependent components forming a unified whole** - Again, this is about biological systems.
9. **an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized** - This talks about a general quality of being organized, which is somewhat relevant.

Given the context, the most relevant definitions are those that relate to a method, structure, or organization of governance. Senses 4, 5, and 7 directly relate to concepts of organization, rules, or processes, which are relevant. However, the context specifically mentions "system of school governance," which aligns closely with **a complex of methods or rules governing behavior** (sense 4).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "system" in this context is sense 4.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "school" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses parents' involvement in their children's education, their dissatisfaction with a particular school, and the governance of schools. It mentions "switching to another" school, "locally elected school boards," and "system of school governance." The discussion revolves around the management and the quality of education provided by educational institutions.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. An educational institution - This sense fits well with the context as it talks about parents being dissatisfied with a school and switching to another, indicating different educational institutions.

2. A building where young people receive education - While this could be a possible interpretation, the context seems to focus more on the institution or the system rather than the physical building.

3. The process of being formally educated at a school - This sense is relevant as the context discusses the governance and management of education.

4. A body of creative artists or writers or thinkers linked by a similar style or by similar teachers - This sense is not relevant to the context as it does not discuss art, literature, or any specific style.

5. The period of instruction in a school; the time period when school is in session - The context does not directly refer to the time or period of schooling.

6. An educational institution's faculty and students - This sense is plausible as "school governance" and "school boards" could imply the involvement of the institution's faculty, staff, or the student body indirectly.

7. A large group of fish - This sense is not relevant to the context.

Given the context, the most relevant senses are 1 (an educational institution) and 6 (an educational institution's faculty and students), as both relate to the concept of a school as an entity that can be governed, managed, or switched between. However, the term "school governance" and the discussion around "school boards" and switching between schools lean more towards the institution as a whole, including its management and policies, rather than just the people within it.

Between senses 1 and 6, sense 1 ("an educational institution") is the most fitting because it directly relates to the concept of different schools (educational institutions) that parents can switch between and the governance of these institutions.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "school" in the given context is sense 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "governance" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the involvement of parents and community in the education system, criticizing the idea of "community involvement" in managing schools, particularly highlighting the negative experiences with locally elected school boards in larger cities like New York. It mentions New York's attempt to disengage from a system of school governance that has been in place for 20 years.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "governance" is used in the context of managing or administering schools.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something." The synonyms include administration, governing body, etc. An example given is "the governance of an association is responsible to its members."
   - **Sense 2**: Refers to "the act of governing; exercising authority." The synonyms include government, governing, etc. An example is "regulations for the governing of state prisons."

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The passage discusses a "system of school governance," which implies a structure or body responsible for managing schools. This aligns closely with **Sense 1**, which refers to the entity or body that administers something. The mention of "locally elected school boards" becoming prey to corrupt local politicians further supports this interpretation, as it indicates a specific body or system of administration.
   - While **Sense 2** refers to the act of governing, the context provided focuses more on the system or structure (i.e., the entity responsible for governance) rather than the act itself.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. It correctly identifies "governance" as referring to the body or system responsible for administering schools.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "governance" in the given context is **1**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "cities" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the governance of schools in large urban areas, specifically mentioning "New York City" and "Chicago" as examples. The discussion revolves around the administrative and political aspects of these urban areas, particularly in relation to their school governance systems.

1. The first sense defines a city as "a large and densely populated urban area; may include several independent administrative districts." The synonyms provided are "metropolis" and "urban center." This sense focuses on the physical and demographic characteristics of a city.

2. The second sense defines a city as "an incorporated administrative district established by state charter." This definition emphasizes the administrative and legal status of a city.

3. The third sense refers to "people living in a large densely populated municipality," with "metropolis" as a synonym. This sense focuses on the inhabitants of a city.

Given the context, the discussion is about the administrative aspect of cities (e.g., "Locally elected school boards" and "system of school governance"). The mention of "larger cities" and specific examples like "New York City" and "Chicago" indicates that the focus is on cities as administrative entities that have their own governance structures, including for education.

While the first sense (city as a large and densely populated urban area) could apply because New York City and Chicago are indeed large and densely populated, the context specifically highlights their role in governance and administration ("Locally elected school boards" and the process of "institut[ing] it"). The second sense directly relates to this administrative aspect.

The third sense, focusing on the people living in a city, is less directly relevant because the context is more about the administrative and governance aspects rather than the population itself.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one that aligns with the administrative and governance context, which is the second sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "institute" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "institute" is used is: "New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school governance, even as Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it." Here, "it" refers to the system of school governance involving locally elected school boards.

2. **Understanding the Usage**: In this context, "institute" means to establish or introduce a system or a practice.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "set up or lay the groundwork for" with synonyms like "establish, found, plant, constitute" and an example "establish a new department". This sense aligns with introducing or establishing a new system or practice.
   - **Sense 2**: "advance or set forth in court" with a synonym "bring" and examples like "bring charges; institute proceedings". This sense is more related to legal actions.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context is about introducing or establishing a system of school governance in cities.
   - The action described is not related to legal proceedings but to the establishment of a governance system.
   - Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one related to setting up or establishing something.

5. **Indexed Sense Selection**: The first sense provided matches the usage in the context. Hence, the best indexed sense for "institute" as used in the given context is **1**.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "most" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "In most states, increasing expenditures on education, in our current circumstances, will probably make things worse, not better."

Here, "most" is used to describe "states," which is a count noun because it refers to individual, countable entities (the states in the United States).

Candidate sense 1 refers to the superlative of "many" used with count nouns, indicating the greatest in number. The example given is "who has the most apples?" or "most people like eggs." This sense aligns with the usage in the given sentence because "most states" refers to the greatest number of states.

Candidate sense 2 refers to the superlative of "much" used with mass nouns, indicating the greatest in amount or extent or degree. Examples include "made the most money he could" or "what attracts the most attention?" This sense is used with uncountable or mass nouns.

Given that "states" is a count noun and "most" is describing a quantity of these countable entities, the usage in the sentence matches the description of candidate sense 1.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "most" in the given context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "expenditures" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses the potential negative outcomes of increasing spending on education, suggesting that more money may not necessarily improve educational outcomes because the influence of money in the classroom is minimal. The sentence specifically mentions "increasing expenditures on education" and its potential effects.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "expenditure" as "money paid out; an amount spent" with synonyms like "outgo, spending, outlay." This sense focuses on the amount of money spent.
2. The second sense defines it as "the act of spending money for goods or services" with the synonym "expending." This sense emphasizes the action of spending.
3. The third sense defines it as "the act of consuming something" with synonyms like "consumption, using up." This sense is broader and not limited to financial spending.

In the given context, "expenditures" refers to the amount of money spent on education. The discussion revolves around the financial aspect, specifically the amount spent, rather than the act of spending itself or the consumption of resources.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one that aligns with "money paid out; an amount spent," which is the first sense.
