The target word "study" refers to the research investigation that Felisa Wolfe-Simon led at Mono Lake. In context, this is clearly a detailed critical inspection or survey—the actual research project examining whether microbes could substitute arsenic for phosphorus. This matches sense 1 (a detailed critical inspection/survey) rather than the other senses, which refer to learning activities, documents, rooms, or artistic works.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for "study" in this passage.

The sentence is: "Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the <t>study</t>, targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic levels."

In this context, "study" refers to a research project or investigation that was conducted. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=study%1:04:00:: - a detailed critical inspection (survey)
2. sense_key=study%1:09:03:: - applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading)
3. sense_key=study%1:10:00:: - a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (report)
4. sense_key=study%1:09:04:: - a state of deep mental absorption
5. sense_key=study%1:06:00:: - a room used for reading and writing and studying
6. sense_key=study%1:09:02:: - a branch of knowledge
7. sense_key=study%1:06:01:: - preliminary drawing for later elaboration
8. sense_key=study%1:09:01:: - attentive consideration and meditation
9. sense_key=study%1:18:00:: - someone who memorizes quickly and easily
10. sense_key=study%1:10:01:: - a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique

Looking at the context: "Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake..."

This is clearly referring to a research project/investigation. The article is describing a scientific study that was conducted, and Felisa Wolfe-Simon led it.

Sense 1 (detailed critical inspection/survey) seems most appropriate - it's referring to the research investigation/survey that was conducted at Mono Lake.
While sense 3 could apply to the written report of findings, the passage emphasizes the actual research project itself rather than its documentation. Sense 1 best captures the investigative work that was performed.

The context discusses arsenic as a chemical element naturally present in Mono Lake, which is being compared to phosphorus based on their chemical similarity. The passage is concerned with the element itself and its potential use in biochemistry, not with a specific processed compound like arsenic trioxide. This clearly corresponds to sense 2, which defines arsenic as "a very poisonous metallic element" (As, atomic number 33).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "arsenic" is being used.

The context discusses:
- A discovery about organisms being able to use different elements for biochemistry
- A study about Mono Lake which has high arsenic levels
- Arsenic and phosphorus being chemically similar
- A microbe potentially substituting arsenic for phosphorus in biochemistry

The key phrase is: "targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic levels. Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar..."

This context is discussing arsenic as a chemical element that exists in nature (in Mono Lake), not specifically arsenic trioxide or a processed form used as a pesticide.

Sense 1: arsenic trioxide - "a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide"
- This is a specific compound (AS2O3), a processed form used for specific industrial purposes

Sense 2: arsenic - "a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar"
- This is the chemical element itself (As, atomic number 33)

The context talks about arsenic as a natural element present in Mono Lake, and compares it to phosphorus in terms of chemical properties. This is clearly referring to the element itself, not a specific compound like arsenic trioxide.

Therefore, sense 2 (arsenic%1:27:00::) is the correct answer.

The sense index would be 2.

Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "levels" in "it has high arsenic levels."

The context is about Mono Lake having "high arsenic levels." This is referring to the concentration or amount of arsenic present in the lake.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" - This could work. High arsenic levels means high amounts/intensity of arsenic.
2. "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" - This doesn't fit well
3. "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" - This could fit too
4. "height above ground" - Doesn't fit
5. "indicator that establishes the horizontal" - Doesn't fit
6. "a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line" - Doesn't fit
7. "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth" - Could fit (layers of meaning)
8. "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms" - Doesn't fit

The key phrase is "high arsenic levels." This is talking about the concentration or amount/degree of arsenic.

Sense 1 emphasizes "intensity or amount or quality" which matches perfectly with "high arsenic levels" - we're talking about the amount/intensity of arsenic.

Sense 3 talks about "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series" - this could also work, as levels of arsenic would be positions on a continuum.

However, sense 1 with its example "a high level of care is required" and synonym "degree" seems to fit better. "High arsenic levels" = "high degree of arsenic" = "high amount of arsenic"

I think sense 1 is the best match.

The context discusses arsenic as a chemical element that could substitute for phosphorus in biochemistry due to their similar chemical behavior. This refers to arsenic as the metallic element (As, atomic number 33) rather than a specific compound like arsenic trioxide. Sense 2 correctly identifies arsenic as the element itself, which aligns with the discussion of element substitution in fundamental biochemistry.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the target word "Arsenic" in the context provided.

The context is discussing how organisms might substitute arsenic for phosphorus in biochemistry. The passage mentions:
- "Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar"
- "a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other"
- "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus"

The two candidate senses are:
1. Sense 1: arsenic%1:27:01:: - a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used as pesticide, rat poison, weed killer. Synonyms include arsenic trioxide, white arsenic, ratsbane.

2. Sense 2: arsenic%1:27:00:: - a very poisonous metallic element with atomic number 33; found in various compounds; used as herbicides and insecticides.

In the context, arsenic is being discussed as a chemical element that organisms could use in their biochemistry as a substitute for phosphorus. The passage is talking about the element itself and its chemical behavior/properties, not a specific compound like arsenic trioxide.

Sense 2 refers to arsenic as a metallic element (with atomic number 33), which is the pure element itself. This makes more sense in the biochemistry context where they're talking about substituting one element for another.

Sense 1 refers to a specific compound (arsenic trioxide) used as a pesticide, which is more specific and wouldn't be the right sense for discussing it as an element that could substitute for phosphorus in biochemistry.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice - it's the element arsenic (As, atomic number 33).

The context is discussing biochemistry, the chemical behavior of elements, and their use in living organisms. The passage explicitly compares the chemical properties of arsenic and phosphorus, noting their chemical similarity. This clearly refers to phosphorus as the chemical element (sense 1), not as the astronomical term for Venus (sense 2).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "phosphorus" is being used.

The context is discussing:
- A scientific discovery about organisms using different elements for biochemistry
- Comparison between Arsenic and phosphorus
- Discussion of how arsenic can be substituted for phosphorus in biochemical processes
- The statement "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus"

Sense 1: "a multivalent nonmetallic element of the nitrogen family that occurs commonly in inorganic phosphate rocks and as organic phosphates in all living cells; is highly reactive and occurs in several allotropic forms" - This is the chemical element phosphorus, used in biochemistry and life.

Sense 2: "a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky" - This is the astronomical term for Venus as the morning star.

The context is clearly about biochemistry, organisms, elements used in life, and the chemical properties of phosphorus compared to arsenic. This is definitively about the chemical element, not the celestial body.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context discusses arsenic's chemical behavior compared to phosphorus at the elemental level, focusing on how organisms struggle to distinguish between these two chemical elements due to their similar properties. This clearly refers to arsenic as a chemical element (As), not as a specific compound like arsenic trioxide.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "arsenic" is being used.

The target word "Arsenic" appears in the quote: "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus."

Looking at the context:
1. The passage discusses how phosphorus and arsenic are chemically similar
2. They're comparing fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure
3. It's about a microbe that might substitute arsenic for phosphorus
4. The focus is on the chemical behavior and how organisms confuse these elements

Now let's look at the two candidate senses:

Sense 1: "a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer" - This is arsenic trioxide, a specific compound of arsenic.

Sense 2: "a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar" - This is arsenic as an element (As, atomic number 33).

The context is clearly discussing arsenic at the elemental level - it's comparing it to phosphorus (another element) in terms of their chemical behavior and properties. The passage is about how organisms cannot distinguish between these two elements because they're chemically similar. This is an elemental chemistry discussion, not about a specific compound like arsenic trioxide.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct answer - arsenic as a metallic element.

The target word "behavior" refers to how arsenic (a substance) reacts or acts chemically. This matches sense 2, which specifically defines behavior as "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances." The example about particles studied in experiments is directly analogous to the chemical behavior of arsenic being discussed in the context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "behavior" is being used.

The sentence is: "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus."

The context is discussing how arsenic, a chemical element, behaves in a chemical system. The sentence is specifically talking about the chemical properties and reactions of arsenic compared to phosphorus.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=behavior%1:04:00:: | definition=manner of acting or controlling yourself | synonyms=behaviour, conduct, doings
   - This is about how a person acts or controls themselves. Not relevant here - we're talking about a chemical element, not a person.

2. sense_key=behavior%1:26:00:: | definition=the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances | synonyms=behaviour | examples=the behavior of small particles can be studied in experiments
   - This is about how a substance or thing reacts under certain circumstances. This perfectly fits - we're talking about how arsenic (a substance/chemical element) behaves/reacts chemically. The example about small particles is also very relevant.

3. sense_key=behavior%1:07:00:: | definition=(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people | synonyms=demeanor, demeanour, behaviour, conduct, deportment
   - This is about interpersonal behavior - how a person acts toward others. Not relevant here.

4. sense_key=behavior%1:04:01:: | definition=(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation | synonyms=behaviour
   - This is about an organism's responses/reactions in psychology. While it could work in a broad sense, the context is specifically about chemistry, not psychology.

The best fit is sense 2 (index 2), which explicitly covers "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance)" and has an example about particles in experiments, which is exactly what we're talking about here - the chemical behavior/reaction of arsenic as a substance.

The context discusses phosphorus as a chemical element in biochemical structures and cellular processes. The passage explicitly refers to "substitution of one element for another," "chemical similarity" between arsenic and phosphorus, and how "organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart." This clearly indicates the chemical element sense (P, atomic number 15) rather than the astronomical sense (Venus/morning star).

reasoning_content:
The target word is "phosphorus" and I need to determine which of the two senses is appropriate in this context.

Let me analyze the context:
The passage is about a scientific study involving microbes, arsenic, and phosphorus. The researchers are investigating whether microbes can substitute arsenic for phosphorus in their biochemistry. The sentence states: "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus."

Now let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=phosphorus%1:27:00:: - "a multivalent nonmetallic element of the nitrogen family that occurs commonly in inorganic phosphate rocks and as organic phosphates in all living cells; is highly reactive and occurs in several allotropic forms" with synonyms "P, atomic number 15". This is clearly the chemical element.

2. sense_key=phosphorus%1:17:00:: - "a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky" with synonyms "morning star, daystar, Lucifer". This is the astronomical sense referring to Venus as the morning star.

The context is clearly about chemistry and biochemistry - discussing arsenic and phosphorus as chemical elements that can be substituted in biological systems. The passage explicitly mentions "elements," "biochemistry," "chemical behavior," and discusses the similarity between arsenic and phosphorus as elements that organisms can potentially confuse.

Therefore, the correct sense is clearly sense 1, the chemical element. This would be sense_index=1.

Context:
"This work is novel because it shows the substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell. It wasn't a chance discovery. Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic levels. Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar, so she speculated that a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other. "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus." "As a <t>result</t>, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."

The word "result" in the phrase "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart" is used to mean **consequence** or **outcome**. The sentence structure shows that the organisms' difficulty in distinguishing the elements is a phenomenon that follows from (and is caused by) arsenic being chemically similar to phosphorus. This directly matches sense 1's definition: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon," with the synonyms consequence, effect, and outcome.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "result" is being used.

The context is: "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."

This is discussing the consequence or outcome of arsenic being chemically similar to phosphorus. The word "result" is being used to mean "consequence" or "outcome of a previous action/situation."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=result%1:19:00:: - "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" with synonyms consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot. This fits the context perfectly. The organisms having a hard time telling elements apart is a consequence of arsenic being similar to phosphorus.

2. sense_key=result%1:10:00:: - "a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem" - This is about solutions/answers. This doesn't fit.

3. sense_key=result%1:11:00:: - "something that results" with synonyms resultant, final result, outcome, termination. This is more abstract and seems to be about the thing that results, but it's quite similar to sense 1.

4. sense_key=result%1:10:01:: - This is a linguistic/semantic term about roles in clauses. This doesn't fit.

The best fit is sense 1: result%1:19:00:: which means "consequence" or "outcome of a previous phenomenon." The phrase "As a result" is a classic phrase meaning "as a consequence" or "because of this," and the following clause describes what happens because of arsenic's similarity to phosphorus.

The sense index for this would be 1.

The context discusses microbes in Mono Lake and their inability to distinguish between chemically similar elements (arsenic and phosphorus). The word "organisms" refers to actual living microorganisms in a biological context, not a metaphorical system. This corresponds to sense 1: a living thing that has the ability to act or function independently.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "organisms" in this passage.

The target word is "organisms" in the sentence: "As a result, <t>organisms</t> have a hard time telling these elements apart."

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=organism%1:03:00:: | definition=a living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently | synonyms=being
   - This refers to actual living beings/creatures

2. sense_key=organism%1:14:00:: | definition=a system considered analogous in structure or function to a living body | examples=the social organism
   - This is more metaphorical, referring to something that functions like a living organism but isn't necessarily a biological entity (like a "social organism")

Looking at the context:
- The passage discusses Mono Lake and microbes (bacteria)
- Felisa Wolfe-Simon led a study targeting Mono Lake
- The study is about whether microbes can substitute arsenic for phosphorus
- The sentence states that "organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart"
- This is clearly referring to actual living microorganisms/bacteria, not a metaphorical system

The context is clearly about biological organisms - specifically microbes in Mono Lake. The passage is discussing how these actual living things (microorganisms) cannot distinguish between arsenic and phosphorus because they're chemically similar.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer - it refers to actual living things/beings that can function independently, which matches the biological context of microorganisms discussed throughout the passage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense for "hard time" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."

This is discussing how organisms cannot distinguish between arsenic and phosphorus because they are chemically similar.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=hard_time%1:26:00:: - "a difficulty that can be overcome with effort" with examples like "we had a hard time getting here; analysts predicted rough sledding for handset makers"

2. sense_key=hard_time%1:28:00:: - "a term served in a maximum security prison"

In the context, "organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart" means organisms face difficulty in distinguishing between arsenic and phosphorus. This is clearly referring to a difficulty or challenge, not to a prison term.

Sense 1 is the correct interpretation. The "rough sledding" synonym and the example "we had a hard time getting here" fit perfectly with the meaning in the sentence - it's about difficulty that can be overcome (or in this case, difficulty experienced in a biochemical process).

Sense 2 (a term in prison) is completely unrelated to this scientific context.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context clearly refers to chemical elements. The passage discusses arsenic and phosphorus as chemical substances that are similar in their chemical behavior but different enough to affect biochemical processes. This directly corresponds to sense 3, which defines element as "any of the more than 100 known substances (of which 92 occur naturally) that cannot be separated into simpler substances and that singly or in combination constitute all matter." The mention of these being chemically similar substances that organisms struggle to distinguish, and their role in biochemical structure, confirms this is the chemical element sense.

reasoning_content:
The context is about biochemistry and chemical elements. The passage discusses arsenic and phosphorus being chemically similar elements, and how organisms have a hard time telling "these elements apart."

In this context, "elements" clearly refers to chemical elements - arsenic and phosphorus are being compared as chemical substances that are similar in their chemical behavior.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=element%1:09:00:: - "an abstract part of something" - This refers to abstract components, not chemical elements.

2. sense_key=element%1:06:00:: - "an artifact that is one of the individual parts of which a composite entity is made up" - This is about parts of composite systems like machines or cars, not chemical elements.

3. sense_key=element%1:27:00:: - "any of the more than 100 known substances (of which 92 occur naturally) that cannot be separated into simpler substances and that singly or in combination constitute all matter" - This is exactly about chemical elements like arsenic and phosphorus. This matches the context perfectly.

4. sense_key=element%1:15:00:: - "the most favorable environment for a plant or animal" - Not relevant here.

5. sense_key=element%1:27:01:: - "one of four substances thought in ancient and medieval cosmology to constitute the physical universe" - This is about ancient cosmology (earth, air, fire, water), not modern chemistry.

6. sense_key=element%1:26:00:: - "the situation in which you are happiest and most effective" - Not relevant.

7. sense_key=element%1:25:00:: - "a straight line that generates a cylinder or cone" - Mathematical/geometric term, not relevant.

The answer is clearly sense 3, which refers to chemical elements.

Arsenic and phosphorus are being discussed as distinct substances that organisms struggle to differentiate from one another due to their chemical similarities, which aligns with the definition of chemical elements as fundamental substances that cannot be broken down further.

The context discusses arsenic in terms of its chemical properties and behavior as an element relative to phosphorus, its ability to affect biochemical machinery, and how microbes can adapt to it at increasing concentrations. This describes arsenic as a chemical element rather than a specific compound or commercial product, matching the second sense definition of "a very poisonous metallic element."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "arsenic" is being used.

The context is about:
- A study by Felisa Wolfe-Simon at NASA's Astrobiology Institute
- High arsenic levels in Mono Lake
- Arsenic and phosphorus being chemically similar
- A microbe (GFAJ-1) being exposed to increasing concentrations of arsenic
- The chemical behavior and biological effects of arsenic

The two senses are:
1. sense_key=arsenic%1:27:01:: - a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer - this is a specific compound (arsenic trioxide)
2. sense_key=arsenic%1:27:00:: - a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar - this is the element itself

In the context, the discussion is about:
- The chemical element arsenic and its similarity to phosphorus
- How it affects organisms at a biochemical level
- Its ability to substitute for phosphorus in microbes

The discussion focuses on arsenic as a chemical element that behaves similarly to phosphorus and affects biochemical machinery. It's not specifically talking about arsenic trioxide as a manufacturing or pesticide product. The context emphasizes arsenic as an element with specific chemical properties and behavior.

Therefore, sense 2 (arsenic%1:27:00::) - the metallic element - is the correct sense being used here.

The context clearly refers to phosphorus as a chemical element involved in biochemical processes. The passage discusses phosphorus's chemical behavior, its role in living cells, and its similarity to arsenic in terms of chemical properties. This matches sense 1 (the multivalent nonmetallic element), not sense 2 (the astronomical body).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "phosphorus" is being used.

The context discusses:
- A study about Mono Lake with high arsenic levels
- How arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar
- A microbe that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus
- How arsenic doesn't work as well as phosphorus in biochemical machinery
- Researchers exposing bacteria to arsenic and studying its adaptation

This is clearly discussing phosphorus in a biochemical/chemical context. The passage talks about:
- Chemical behavior and properties
- Phosphate rocks and living cells
- Biochemical machinery
- Chemical similarity to arsenic

Sense 1 is: "a multivalent nonmetallic element of the nitrogen family that occurs commonly in inorganic phosphate rocks and as organic phosphates in all living cells; is highly reactive and occurs in several allotropic forms"

Sense 2 is: "a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky" (the morning star)

The context is clearly about the chemical element phosphorus, not about the astronomical phenomenon. The discussion of biochemical machinery, chemical similarity to arsenic, and living cells all point to sense 1.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The target word "concentrations" refers to the strength or amount of arsenic dissolved in the solution that the bacteria were exposed to. This matches sense 1, which defines concentration as "the strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume." The phrase "increasing concentrations of arsenic" indicates varying levels of how much arsenic was present in the bacterial growth medium.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "concentration" is being used.

The sentence reads: "The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow."

In this context, "concentrations of arsenic" refers to the different amounts or levels of arsenic - specifically how much arsenic is dissolved in the solution that the bacteria is exposed to.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "the strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume" - This is about how much of a solute is present in a solution. This fits perfectly with "concentrations of arsenic" meaning different levels/amounts of arsenic in the liquid medium.

2. "the spatial property of being crowded together" - This is about density or compactness, which doesn't fit the context.

3. "strengthening the concentration (as of a solute in a mixture) by removing diluting material" - This is about the process of concentrating, not the state/level itself.

4. "increase in density" - Not applicable here.

5. "complete attention; intense mental effort" - This is the cognitive sense, not relevant here.

6. "bringing together military forces" - Not relevant.

7. "great and constant diligence and attention" - The cognitive/effort sense, not relevant.

The best fit is sense 1, which refers to "the strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume." This is exactly what "concentrations of arsenic" means in the experimental context - the bacteria were exposed to different levels/amounts of arsenic in solution.

The context discusses arsenic in terms of its chemical properties as an element (comparable to phosphorus chemically), its behavior in organisms, and its natural occurrence in different environments. This aligns with sense 2, which defines arsenic as a poisonous metallic element with specific chemical properties, rather than sense 1, which refers to a specific compound (arsenic trioxide) used as a pesticide.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "arsenic" is being used.

The passage is discussing arsenic in the context of:
1. Astrobiology research
2. Mono Lake having "high arsenic levels"
3. Chemical similarity between arsenic and phosphorus
4. Arsenic being "toxic" and "poisonous"
5. Its chemical behavior
6. How organisms interact with it
7. A microbe exposed to "concentrations of arsenic"
8. The possibility of life forms using arsenic

The two candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=arsenic%1:27:01:: - "a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer" - This is a specific compound (arsenic trioxide)
2. sense_key=arsenic%1:27:00:: - "a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar" - This is the element itself

In the context, the passage is discussing arsenic as:
- A chemical element with certain properties
- Something that has "chemical behavior"
- Something that can exist in different forms in nature
- An element comparable to phosphorus on the periodic table
- Something found in various places (Mono Lake, possibly other planets)

The first sense is specifically about a white powdered form (arsenic trioxide), which is a specific compound. However, the context is discussing arsenic more broadly as an element, comparing it to phosphorus, and discussing it in terms of its chemical properties and availability in different environments.

Sense 2 is about arsenic as a metallic element, which fits much better with the scientific discussion of it as a chemical element with specific chemical properties and behavior.

The answer should be sense 2 (arsenic%1:27:00::), which corresponds to sense index 2.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "phosphorus" is being used.

The context is discussing:
1. Arsenic and phosphorus being chemically similar
2. Microbes/bacteria (GFAJ-1) and their ability to substitute one element for another
3. How arsenic is toxic because its chemical behavior is similar to phosphorus
4. Biochemical machinery and organisms' ability to process these elements
5. The possibility of life forms using arsenic instead of phosphorus

This is clearly a scientific/biochemical context about chemical elements and their properties in living organisms.

Now let's look at the two senses:

Sense 1: "a multivalent nonmetallic element of the nitrogen family that occurs commonly in inorganic phosphate rocks and as organic phosphates in all living cells; is highly reactive and occurs in several allotropic forms" with synonyms P, atomic number 15

This is the chemical element phosphorus, commonly used in biochemistry and biology. This makes perfect sense in the context about chemical properties, biochemical machinery, and organic phosphates in living cells.

Sense 2: "a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky" with synonyms morning star, daystar, Lucifer

This is referring to the astronomical phenomenon/name for Venus as the morning star. This has absolutely nothing to do with the context provided, which is about chemistry and biochemistry.

The answer is clearly sense 1 - the chemical element.

The context discusses arsenic in terms of its chemical behavior as an element that can potentially substitute for phosphorus in biological systems. The passage emphasizes the elemental and chemical properties of arsenic (comparing it to phosphorus, discussing its use in compounds and alloys, and its presence on other planets), rather than referring to a specific chemical compound like arsenic trioxide. This aligns with sense 2, which defines arsenic as the poisonous metallic element with atomic number 33.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "arsenic" is being used.

The passage discusses:
1. Arsenic and phosphorus being chemically similar
2. A microbe (GFAJ-1) that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus
3. Arsenic's chemical behavior and toxicity
4. The possibility of life forms using arsenic instead of phosphorus
5. Discussion of arsenic being more common on other planets

The two senses are:
1. Sense 1 (arsenic%1:27:01::): a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic - this is a specific chemical compound (arsenic trioxide)
2. Sense 2 (arsenic%1:27:00::): a very poisonous metallic element - this is arsenic as an element with atomic number 33

In the context, when the passage talks about "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior..." and discusses how organisms have difficulty distinguishing between arsenic and phosphorus at the chemical/elemental level, it's clearly referring to arsenic as a chemical ELEMENT, not as a specific compound like arsenic trioxide.

The passage also mentions "arsenic compounds" separately and discusses how the element can be used in various roles (herbicides, insecticides, alloys). The context emphasizes the elemental nature and its position in the chemical table relative to phosphorus.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 2 - arsenic as the metallic element (As, atomic number 33).

The answer should be {"sense_index": 2}

The context uses "possibility" to express the capability or potential for something to be true or to happen ("raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally"). This matches sense 2: "capability of existing or happening or being true," which has a similar example structure: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully to determine which sense of "possibility" is being used.

The sentence is: "showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common."

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense 1: "a future prospect or potential"** - examples include "this room has great possibilities" - This refers to potential or prospects that something has.

2. **sense 2: "capability of existing or happening or being true"** - examples: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired" - This refers to the capability or potential for something to exist, happen, or be true.

3. **sense 3: "a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena"** - This is about hypothesis/theory, which doesn't fit well here.

4. **sense 4: "a possible alternative"** - examples: "bankruptcy is always a possibility" - This refers to an alternative option.

In the context, the sentence is saying that the experiment "raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally." This is expressing the idea that it's now conceivable or capable of being true that such a life form could exist.

This most closely matches **sense 2**: "capability of existing or happening or being true" with the example "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired." The structure is very similar - "raises the possibility that X" is expressing the capability or potential for X to be true or to happen.

The answer should be sense 2, which would be indexed as 2.

The context discusses arsenic in terms of its chemical properties, elemental characteristics, and potential biological substitution for phosphorus. The passage focuses on arsenic as a chemical element (atomic number 33) and its behavioral similarities to phosphorus, not on any specific arsenic compound like arsenic trioxide. This aligns with sense 2, which defines arsenic as the metallic element itself.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "arsenic" is being used.

The passage is about arsenic being potentially substituted for phosphorus in biochemical processes. The context discusses:
- Arsenic and phosphorus being chemically similar
- Arsenic being toxic because of its chemical similarity to phosphorus
- GFAJ-1 bacteria being exposed to arsenic
- Arsenic as a chemical element that could potentially be used by life forms

Now let's look at the two candidate senses:

1. Sense 1 (arsenic%1:27:01::): "a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer"
   - This refers to arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃), a specific compound
   - Synonyms: arsenic trioxide, arsenous anhydride, arsenous oxide, white arsenic, ratsbane

2. Sense 2 (arsenic%1:27:00::): "a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar"
   - This refers to arsenic as a chemical element (As, atomic number 33)
   - Synonyms: As, atomic number 33

The context is discussing arsenic as a chemical element that could potentially substitute for phosphorus in biochemical processes. The passage talks about:
- The chemical behavior and properties of arsenic
- Its similarity to phosphorus
- Bacteria adapting to arsenic
- Arsenic being more common on other planets/moons
- The possibility of life forms using arsenic

This is clearly referring to arsenic as a chemical element, not as a specific compound (arsenic trioxide). The discussion is about the elemental form and its chemical properties, not about a particular manufactured compound.
The correct answer is Sense 2, since the passage focuses on arsenic's elemental properties and its potential role in biochemistry, not on any specific manufactured form of the element.

The context clearly refers to Earth as our planet, contrasting it with "another planet or moon where arsenic is more common." This is a direct reference to Earth as the third planet from the sun where life currently exists, making sense 1 the best choice.

reasoning_content:
Looking at the context, the sentence is: "showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common."

The context is discussing life forms that could exist on different celestial bodies. The word "Earth" here refers to our planet - the 3rd planet from the sun. It's being contrasted with "another planet or moon."

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=earth%1:17:00:: - "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on" - This fits perfectly. The context mentions Earth in contrast to "another planet or moon," clearly referring to our home planet.

2. sense_key=earth%1:27:00:: - "the loose soft material that makes up a large part of the land surface" - No, this is about soil/dirt material, not the planet itself.

3. sense_key=earth%1:17:01:: - "the solid part of the earth's surface" - This could work, but it's more about the solid ground/land surface rather than the planet as a whole.

4. sense_key=earth%1:15:00:: - "the abode of mortals (as contrasted with Heaven or Hell)" - Not the right meaning here.

5. sense_key=earth%1:27:01:: - "once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe" - Not the right meaning.

6. sense_key=earth%1:09:00:: - "the concerns of this life as distinguished from heaven and the afterlife" - Not the right meaning.

7. sense_key=earth%1:06:00:: - "a connection between an electrical device and a large conducting body, such as the earth" - Not the right meaning.

The best fit is sense 1 - "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on".

The juxtaposition with other celestial bodies makes this unambiguous—we're clearly referring to our own planet rather than soil or ground material.

The context discusses the possibility of life forms occurring "on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common," referencing celestial bodies beyond Earth in a general astronomical sense. Sense 3, which defines a planet as "any celestial body (other than comets or satellites) that revolves around a star," is the most appropriate. This general definition encompasses planets across the universe, fitting the speculative discussion about potential extraterrestrial life. Sense 1 is too restrictive (limited to our solar system), and Sense 2 is not applicable (refers to a person, not a celestial body).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and candidate senses for the word "planet."

The context is discussing the possibility of life forms using arsenic instead of phosphorus. The sentence reads: "...raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common."

Now let me evaluate the three candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "(astronomy) any of the nine large celestial bodies in the solar system that revolve around the sun and shine by reflected light; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in order of their proximity to the sun; viewed from the constellation Hercules, all the planets rotate around the sun in a counterclockwise direction"
   - This is specifically about planets in our solar system

2. Sense 2: "a person who follows or serves another" with synonym "satellite"
   - This is a metaphorical sense, referring to a person. This doesn't fit the context at all.

3. Sense 3: "any celestial body (other than comets or satellites) that revolves around a star"
   - This is a more general astronomical definition that encompasses any planet orbiting any star, not just our solar system.

In the context, the text says "either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common." The mention of "or on another planet" in the context of potentially finding life elsewhere suggests we're talking about planets in a general astronomical sense, not just planets in our solar system.

Sense 3 is the best fit because:
- It refers to celestial bodies orbiting stars (general definition)
- The context discusses planets where life forms might exist naturally, which could be planets outside our solar system
- The discussion is more general and speculative about life on other planets
- Therefore, sense_index 3 is the correct answer.

The context discusses potential locations where extraterrestrial life using arsenic could exist: "either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon." The word "moon" here refers to natural satellites of planets in general (not specifically Earth's Moon), as the passage is speculating about life forms that could exist on other celestial bodies throughout the universe. This aligns with sense 6, which defines moon as "any natural satellite of a planet."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "moon" is being used.

The sentence reads: "...a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common."

The context is discussing potential locations where life forms using arsenic could exist. It mentions:
1. Elsewhere on Earth
2. Another planet
3. A moon

So the question is: what does "moon" mean here?

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. The natural satellite of the Earth - This is a specific moon (Earth's Moon)
2. Any object resembling a moon - This seems to be about lamp-like objects, not relevant
3. The lunar month period - Not relevant
4. The light of the Moon - Not relevant
5. Sun Myung Moon (a person) - Not relevant
6. Any natural satellite of a planet - This refers to moons in general, any natural satellite

In the context, they're talking about locations in the universe where life could exist. When they say "another planet or moon," they're referring to moons as natural satellites of planets in general, not specifically Earth's moon.

The phrase "on another planet or moon" suggests they're talking about natural satellites that orbit planets, which is the definition of sense 6: "any natural satellite of a planet."

If it were sense 1 (the natural satellite of the Earth), it would be strange to say "on another planet or moon" because "the moon" refers to Earth's Moon specifically. But here they're clearly talking about any moon in the solar system or universe.

So the best answer is sense 6.
