49. definition=eliminate urine | examples=Again, the cat had made on the expensive rug

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It <t>made</t> our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan.

The sentence means that something made their New Year (a special occasion, a memorable experience, etc.). The context suggests that something "made" or created/caused their New Year to be significant or successful.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

45. definition=cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable | examples=make my day
46. definition=favor the development of | examples=Practice makes the winner
41. definition=assure the success of | examples=A good review by this critic will make your play!

The phrase "made our New Year" most closely aligns with sense 45 "cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable" with the example "make my day" - this is nearly identical in structure and meaning. The phrase "make my day" means to make that day special/enjoyable/memorable, and "made our New Year" has the same meaning.

I believe the answer is 45.

Let me analyze the sentence: "It made our New Year, "<t>says</t> Mr. Quinlan.

This appears to be a quote attribution or dialogue tag. Mr. Quinlan is "saying" something - reporting what was previously stated. However, looking at the context, it seems to be quoting what Mr. Quinlan said: "It made our New Year."

Let me consider each sense:

1. "express in words" - This fits, but it's very general
2. "report or maintain" - This could fit as it's reporting something
3. "express a supposition" - No, doesn't fit
4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - This could fit if we're talking about what the statement says/contains
5. "give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority" - No
6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - No
7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - No
8. "utter aloud" - This could fit
9. "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - This could fit
10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - No
11. "indicate" - Could this fit? The quote "indicates" something?

Actually, looking more carefully at the context and the quote marks, this is a dialogue tag. When someone says something in quotation marks, we use sense 1 "express in words" or sense 8 "utter aloud" would be the most direct match.

Sense 1: "express in words" with example "He said that he wanted to marry her" - this is the most direct and common use.

I think the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: This test was the <t>first</t> to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=preceding all others in time or space or degree | examples=the first house on the right
2. definition=indicating the beginning unit in a series
3. definition=serving to set in motion | examples=the magazine's inaugural issue
4. definition=serving to begin | examples=the beginning canto of the poem
5. definition=ranking above all others | examples=was first in her class
6. definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer."

In this context, "first" means this test was the initial one, preceding all others in the ability to predict cancer reliably. It's referring to being before all others in time with respect to this particular function/ability.

Let me check each sense:

1. "preceding all others in time or space or degree" - This fits. The test is the first one (preceding all others) in time to predict cancer reliably. This is saying it's the earliest/initial one to do this.

2. "indicating the beginning unit in a series" - This could work too, but it's more about being part of a series.

3. "serving to set in motion" - This doesn't fit. The test isn't setting something in motion.

4. "serving to begin" - This could work in a sense, but it's more awkward.

5. "ranking above all others" - This doesn't really fit. It's not about ranking.

6. "highest in pitch or chief among parts" - This doesn't fit at all.

The best fit is sense 1 - "preceding all others in time or space or degree". The test came first (before all others) in time in terms of being able to predict cancer. The example "the first house on the right" shows a similar usage of preceding all others in space/position.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an <t>individual</t> could expect to develop cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=a human being | examples=there was too much for one person to do
2. definition=a single organism

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an <t>individual</t> could expect to develop cancer."

In this sentence, "individual" refers to a single person/human being who could develop cancer. The test is predicting whether a specific person (one human being) could develop cancer.

Let me check the definitions:
1. "a human being" - with example "there was too much for one person to do" - This fits the usage in the sentence, as it's talking about one human being who might develop cancer.
2. "a single organism" - This is broader and could technically include humans, but it's more general and would apply to any organism.

In the context of "whether an individual could expect to develop cancer," we're clearly talking about a human being, not just any organism. So sense 1 is the correct answer.

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

Sentence: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could <t>expect</t> to develop cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=regard something as probable or likely | examples=The meteorologists are expecting rain for tomorrow
2. definition=consider obligatory; request and expect | examples=We require our secretary to be on time
3. definition=look forward to the probable occurrence of | examples=We were expecting a visit from our relatives
4. definition=consider reasonable or due | examples=I'm expecting a full explanation as to why these files were destroyed
5. definition=look forward to the birth of a child | examples=She is expecting in March
6. definition=be pregnant with | examples=She is bearing his child

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer."

In this context, "expect" means to regard something as probable or likely. The test predicts whether someone is likely/probable to develop cancer. This is about considering something as probable or likely to happen in the future.

Let me check each sense:

1. "regard something as probable or likely" with example "The meteorologists are expecting rain for tomorrow" - This fits! The test predicts whether cancer is probable/likely to develop.

2. "consider obligatory; request and expect" - This doesn't fit. There's no obligation or request here.

3. "look forward to the probable occurrence of" - This is close but the implication is emotional anticipation ("look forward to"), whereas in the cancer context, it's just about probability without the anticipatory feeling.

4. "consider reasonable or due" - This doesn't fit well.

5. "look forward to the birth of a child" - Clearly not relevant.

6. "be pregnant with" - Clearly not relevant.

Sense 1 is the best fit. It's about regarding something as probable or likely to occur, which is exactly what "expect to develop cancer" means - it's likely/probable that cancer will develop.

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

Sentence: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to <t>develop</t> cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation | examples=Her company developed a new kind of building material that withstands all kinds of weather
2. definition=work out | examples=We have developed a new theory of evolution
3. definition=gain through experience | examples=I acquired a strong aversion to television

11. definition=become technologically advanced | examples=Many countries in Asia are now developing at a very fast pace
12. definition=cause to grow and differentiate in ways conforming to its natural development | examples=The perfect climate here develops the grain
13. definition=generate gradually | examples=We must develop more potential customers
14. definition=grow emotionally or mature | examples=The child developed beautifully in her new kindergarten
15. definition=make visible by means of chemical solutions | examples=Please develop this roll of film for me
16. definition=superimpose a three-dimensional surface on a plane without stretching, in geometry
17. definition=move one's pieces into strategically more advantageous positions | examples=Spassky developed quickly
18. definition=move into a strategically more advantageous position | examples=develop the rook
19. definition=elaborate by the unfolding of a musical idea and by the working out of the rhythmic and harmonic changes in the theme | examples=develop the melody and change the key
20. definition=happen | examples=Report the news as it develops
21. definition=expand in the form of a series | examples=Develop the function in the following form

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer."

In this context, "develop" means that a person could come to have or acquire cancer - it's about coming to have a disease or condition. The individual would gradually come to have cancer.

Let me look at the senses:

1. Make something new - No, not about creating something
2. Work out - No, not about working out a theory
3. Gain through experience - No, not about gaining through experience (though it's similar to acquiring)
4. Come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) - This seems close, but it's more about physical features
5. Come into existence - Not quite, cancer would come to exist in the person
6. Change the use of and make available - No
7. Elaborate theories - No
8. Create by training - No
9. Be gradually disclosed - No
10. Grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation - This could fit, as developing cancer is a natural process that unfolds
11. Become technologically advanced - No
12. Cause to grow and differentiate - No
13. Generate gradually - This could fit - developing customers means generating them gradually
14. Grow emotionally or mature - No
15. Make visible by chemical solutions - No
16. Geometry term - No
17-19. Chess/music terms - No
20. Happen - Could fit, but too general
21. Expand as a series - No

Looking more carefully, sense 10 ("grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment") with the example "A flower developed on the branch" seems to be about something naturally coming to exist or develop through a natural process.

Developing cancer would be similar - it's a natural, gradual process where the disease unfolds and progresses.

Sense 10 fits perfectly here.

Sentence: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop <t>cancer</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
2. definition=(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer
3. definition=a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Leo and Gemini
4. definition=the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22
5. definition=type genus of the family Cancridae

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop <t>cancer</t>."

The context here is about a test predicting whether an individual could develop cancer. This is clearly referring to a medical condition - a malignant growth or tumor.

Let me review the senses:
1. Any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division - This matches the context of a medical disease that individuals can develop.
2. A person born while the sun is in Cancer (astrology) - Doesn't fit the context
3. A zodiacal constellation - Doesn't fit the context
4. The fourth sign of the zodiac - Doesn't fit the context
5. Type genus of the family Cancridae (crabs) - Doesn't fit the context

The sentence is clearly using "cancer" in its medical sense - referring to the disease that can develop in individuals.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Equally</t> important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=to the same degree (often followed by `as') | examples=they were equally beautiful
2. definition=in equal amounts or shares; in a balanced or impartial way | examples=a class evenly divided between girls and boys

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

The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

Here, "equally" is used as an adverb modifying "important." It's indicating that something is important to the same degree as something else mentioned previously (though not explicitly stated in this sentence fragment).

Let me look at each definition:

Sense 1: "to the same degree (often followed by `as')" - This means something is important in the same way or to the same extent as something else. The example given is "they were equally beautiful" which suggests both things are beautiful to the same degree.

Sense 2: "in equal amounts or shares; in a balanced or impartial way" - This is about dividing things equally or doing something in a balanced/impartial manner.

In the sentence, "equally important" means that this discovery is important to the same degree as something else (likely the other topic being discussed). This fits sense 1 - "to the same degree."

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Equally <t>important</t>, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=of great significance or value | examples=important people
2. definition=important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws
3. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
4. definition=having authority or ascendancy or influence | examples=an important official
5. definition=having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses provided.

The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The word "important" here is being used to describe the significance or value of something - specifically, the initial discovery of the gene. The phrase "Equally important" is saying that this discovery is of great significance/value, similar to whatever was mentioned before.

Let me check each sense:

1. "of great significance or value | examples=important people" - This fits. The discovery is being described as having great significance/value.

2. "important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws" - This could also work, as the discovery has significant effects/meaning.

3. "of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career" - This seems too extreme. The sentence doesn't suggest this is vital to resolving a crisis.

4. "having authority or ascendancy or influence | examples=an important official" - This doesn't fit. The discovery doesn't have authority or influence in this context.

5. "having or suggesting a consciousness of high position | examples=recited the decree with an important air" - This doesn't fit. There's no suggestion of consciousness or pretentiousness.

Between 1 and 2, sense 1 seems more appropriate. The discovery is being described as "of great significance or value" in general terms, rather than specifically "important in effect or meaning."

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial <t>discovery</t> of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something
2. definition=something that is discovered
3. definition=a productive insight
4. definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure of documents relevant to a case; enables one side in a litigation to elicit information from the other side concerning the facts in the case

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

The sentence: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the act of discovering something" - This would refer to the process or action of finding/discovering something
2. "something that is discovered" - This refers to the object or result of discovering something
3. "a productive insight" - This refers to an important realization or breakthrough
4. "(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure..." - This is a legal term, clearly not applicable here

In the sentence, "the initial discovery of the gene" refers to the gene itself that was found/discovered by Thaddeus Dryja. The sentence is talking about the gene as the thing that was discovered, and this discovery "has opened a field of cancer study."

This could be interpreted as either sense 1 or 2:
- Sense 1: The act of discovering the gene
- Sense 2: The gene itself (the something that is discovered)

Looking more carefully at the phrasing: "the initial discovery of the gene... has opened a field of cancer study"

The discovery (the finding/the result) has opened a new field. This seems to be referring to the thing discovered (the gene) or the act of discovering it. In context, "discovery" here refers to the finding itself - the act and its result. This is more aligned with sense 1 (the act of discovering something) or sense 2 (something that is discovered).

Given the context "the initial discovery of the gene," I think this is referring to the act of discovering the gene, which is sense 1. The discovery opened a field - meaning the finding/the act of finding opened new research opportunities.

Actually, looking again, it could be sense 2 - "something that is discovered" - because the discovery here is the gene itself.
The phrasing "the discovery of the gene" most naturally points to the act of discovering rather than the object itself. Since the discovery is what opened new research opportunities, this aligns with sense 1—the action of finding the gene that catalyzed the field of study.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that <t>controls</t> retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=exercise authoritative control or power over | examples=control the budget
2. definition=lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits | examples=moderate your alcohol intake
3. definition=handle and cause to function | examples=do not operate machinery after imbibing alcohol
4. definition=control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully, usually to one's advantage | examples=She manipulates her boss
5. definition=check or regulate (a scientific experiment) by conducting a parallel experiment or comparing with another standard | examples=Are you controlling for the temperature?
6. definition=verify by using a duplicate register for comparison | examples=control an account
7. definition=be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something | examples=He verified that the valves were closed
8. definition=have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of | examples=Do you control these data?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "the initial discovery of the gene that <t>controls</t> retinal cell growth"

In this context, "controls" is describing how the gene regulates or influences retinal cell growth. The gene is responsible for managing or directing the growth of retinal cells.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "exercise authoritative control or power over" - This is about having power over something, like controlling a budget. The gene doesn't really have "authoritative power" in that sense.

2. "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits" - This is about restraint or moderation, which doesn't fit here.

3. "handle and cause to function" - This is about operating machinery, which doesn't fit.

4. "control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully, usually to one's advantage" - This is about manipulation for advantage, which doesn't fit.

5. "check or regulate (a scientific experiment) by conducting a parallel experiment or comparing with another standard" - This is about experimental controls, which doesn't fit this usage.

6. "verify by using a duplicate register for comparison" - This is about accounting/verification, which doesn't fit.

7. "be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something" - This is about verification, which doesn't fit.

8. "have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of" - This is about understanding/knowledge, which doesn't fit.

Wait, let me reconsider. The gene "controls" retinal cell growth. This means the gene regulates, directs, or manages the growth. This is most similar to sense 1 - "exercise authoritative control or power over" - in that the gene exercises control over (regulates/directs) the cell growth.

Actually, the definition for sense 1 is quite broad: "exercise authoritative control or power over" and the example is "control the budget." Managing a budget is similar to managing cell growth - it's about directing or regulating something.
The answer is sense 1.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal <t>cell</t> growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=any small compartment | examples=the cells of a honeycomb
2. definition=(biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals

5. definition=a hand-held mobile radiotelephone for use in an area divided into small sections, each with its own short-range transmitter/receiver
6. definition=small room in which a monk or nun lives
7. definition=a room where a prisoner is kept

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "cell" is being used:

"Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal <t>cell</t> growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The context is about:
- A gene discovery
- Gene that controls retinal cell growth
- Medical/biological context
- Cancer research

The word "cell" here refers to retinal cells - these are biological cells in the eye's retina. This is clearly a biological context where we're talking about the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.

Looking at the senses:
1. Small compartment (like honeycomb) - not applicable
2. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - THIS IS IT. This is clearly about biological cells
3. Device for electric current - not applicable
4. Political movement unit - not applicable
5. Mobile phone - not applicable
6. Monk/nun's room - not applicable
7. Prisoner's room - not applicable

The answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell <t>growth</t>, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The context is about "retinal cell growth" - this refers to the biological process of retinal cells becoming larger and more numerous, which is a fundamental biological process in the development and functioning of the eye.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level" - This is about the biological process of growth at the organism level, but it could also apply to cellular growth.

2. "a progression from simpler to more complex forms" - This is about complexity progression, which could relate to biological growth but seems more about evolution or development stages.

3. "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - This is a general definition that could apply to cells becoming larger or more numerous.

4. "vegetation that has grown" - This is about plants, not applicable here.

5. "the gradual beginning or coming forth" - This is about emergence, not about the process of cells growing.

6. "(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)" - This is about abnormal tissue growth, like tumors. While the sentence mentions "cancer study," the growth of retinal cells itself is not necessarily abnormal or pathological.

7. "something grown or growing" - This is about the product of growth, not the process.

In this context, "retinal cell growth" refers to the biological process of cells multiplying and becoming larger. Sense 1 best captures this - it's about the biological process of growth at a cellular/organic level. This is the most accurate definition for biological growth in the context of cell development.

Let me analyze this sentence carefully:

"Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, <t>made</t> by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The word "made" here is in a passive construction: "the initial discovery... made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja"

This is saying that a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja made/created/produced the initial discovery. In other words, Thaddeus Dryja is the one who made the discovery.

So we need to find which sense of "make" means to "create" or "produce" something, specifically an intellectual discovery.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 6: "create or manufacture a man-made product" - examples: We produce more cars than we can sell
- Sense 9: "create by artistic means" - examples: create a poem
- Sense 15: "make by shaping or bringing together constituents" - examples: make a dress
- Sense 17: "make by combining materials and parts" - examples: this little pig made his house out of straw

Actually, for a discovery/finding, the most appropriate sense would be something about creating or producing something.

Looking more carefully, sense 6 is about creating or manufacturing, which would apply to the discovery being made/created by the doctor. A discovery is something that is made/created (in the sense of brought into being or uncovered).

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence structure is passive. "made by a Boston doctor" means the doctor made/created the discovery. This is about producing or creating something.

Sense 6 seems most appropriate: "create or manufacture a man-made product"

But actually, for a scientific discovery, it might be better captured by sense 9 "create by artistic means" or perhaps sense 6.
The most straightforward interpretation is sense 6—the discovery was created or produced by the doctor through his research and work.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston <t>doctor</t> named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=a licensed medical practitioner | examples=I felt so bad I went to see my doctor
2. definition=(Roman Catholic Church) a title conferred on 33 saints who distinguished themselves through the orthodoxy of their theological teaching | examples=the Doctors of the Church greatly influenced Christian thought down to the late Middle Ages
3. definition=children take the roles of physician or patient or nurse and pretend they are at the physician's office | examples=the children explored each other's bodies by playing the game of doctor
4. definition=a person who holds Ph.D. degree (or the equivalent) from an academic institution | examples=she is a doctor of philosophy in physics

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "doctor" is being used.

The sentence says: "the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja..."

Key context clues:
- Thaddeus Dryja is described as making a scientific discovery about genes and retinal cell growth
- This is clearly a research/scientific context
- The person made a discovery about genetic research related to cancer

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a licensed medical practitioner" - This could potentially apply, as some medical doctors do research, but the primary emphasis is on someone who has made a genetic discovery.

2. "a title conferred on 33 saints..." - This is clearly not relevant to this context.

3. "children take the roles of physician..." - Not relevant; this is about actual scientific work.

4. "a person who holds Ph.D. degree (or the equivalent)" - This makes the most sense. Thaddeus Dryja is a researcher who discovered genes, which is academic/scientific work. He would likely have a Ph.D. in a scientific field.

Actually, looking more carefully: Thaddeus Dryja is indeed a real scientist who made discoveries in genetics and is affiliated with Massachusetts Eye and Ear (in Boston). He holds a Ph.D. and is known for his research work, not primarily as a practicing physician.

So the answer is 4 - "a person who holds Ph.D. degree (or the equivalent) from an academic institution"

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor <t>named</t> Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to | examples=They named their son David
2. definition=give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property | examples=Many senators were named in connection with the scandal
3. definition=charge with a function; charge to be | examples=She was named Head of the Committee
4. definition=create and charge with a task or function | examples=nominate a committee
5. definition=mention and identify by name | examples=name your accomplices!
6. definition=make reference to | examples=His name was mentioned in connection with the invention
7. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example
8. definition=give or make a list of; name individually; give the names of | examples=List the states west of the Mississippi
9. definition=determine or distinguish the nature of a problem or an illness through a diagnostic analysis

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and understand how "named" is being used.

The sentence: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor <t>named</t> Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

In this context, "named" is used as a passive participle to identify or refer to a doctor by his name. The phrase "a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja" means "a Boston doctor [who is] named Thaddeus Dryja" or "a Boston doctor [identified as] Thaddeus Dryja."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" - This would be active voice, like "They named their son David." Not quite the usage here.

2. "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property" - This fits! The sentence is identifying/referring to the doctor by his name (Thaddeus Dryja). Examples include "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal" where "named" means identified/referred to by name.

3. "charge with a function" - Doesn't fit.

4. "create and charge with a task" - Doesn't fit.

5. "mention and identify by name" - This also could fit, but let me compare with sense 2.

6. "make reference to" - This could fit loosely.

7. "identify as in botany or biology" - This is too specific.

8. "give or make a list of" - Doesn't fit.

9. "determine or distinguish the nature" - Doesn't fit.

Between sense 2 and 5, I think sense 2 is the best fit because it emphasizes identifying/referring to someone by name, which is exactly what's happening here. The doctor is being identified by the name Thaddeus Dryja.
Sense 2 is the correct answer.

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has <t>opened</t> a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

7. definition=become available | examples=an opportunity opened up
8. definition=have an opening or passage or outlet | examples=The bedrooms open into the hall
9. definition=make the opening move | examples=Kasparov opened with a standard opening
10. definition=afford access to | examples=the door opens to the patio
11. definition=display the contents of a file or start an application as on a computer

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The key phrase is "has opened a field of cancer study" - this means the discovery has made a field of cancer study available or accessible.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "cause to open or to become open" - like opening a door physically. Not this one.
2. "start to operate or function or cause to start operating" - like opening a business. This could work - the discovery started/caused a field of cancer study to begin or become active.
3. "become open" - this is intransitive. The sentence uses "opened" with a direct object (a field), so it's transitive.
4. "begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc." - this is about meetings or formal events.
5. "spread out or open from a closed or folded state" - like opening a map. Not applicable.
6. "make available" - this seems very fitting. The discovery made new possibilities available. The phrase "opens up new possibilities" matches exactly.
7. "become available" - this is intransitive, but the sentence uses "opened" transitively.
8. "have an opening or passage" - not applicable.
9. "make the opening move" - not applicable.
10. "afford access to" - this could work but is more specific to physical access.
11. "display contents of a file or start application on computer" - not applicable.

The best match is sense 6: "make available" with the example "This opens up new possibilities". The discovery "has opened a field of cancer study" means it has made that field available or created new possibilities in cancer study.

The sentence discusses a gene that controls retinal cell growth discovered by a doctor, in the context of "cancer study." This clearly refers to cancer as a malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division (sense 1), not to any astrological or constellation-related meaning.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 5. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider the sentence. It says "has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The context is about a gene that controls retinal cell growth discovered by a doctor. The field of "cancer study" refers to the study of cancer as a disease - the malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.

So sense 1 (definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division) is the correct one.

Wait, the user said my previous answer was invalid. But I answered "1" which should be correct. Let me think about why it might be invalid...

Looking at the answer format requested: "Choose one candidate index between 1 and 5. Return only the integer."

I returned "1" which is an integer between 1 and 5. That should be valid.

Unless... let me reconsider the meaning. The text talks about a gene that controls retinal cell growth. This could be related to cancer, but maybe in a different sense?

Actually, no. The sentence clearly states "cancer study" in the context of medical research about cell growth. This is definitely sense 1 - the medical/pathological definition of cancer as a disease.

But the user said it was invalid. Maybe I need to look at this more carefully. Let me read the original response instruction again - it says "Return only the number of the correct sense" and then later "Return only the integer."

Both times I should return just the number. The first time I returned "1" and explained it. Maybe the explanation made it "invalid" and they want ONLY the integer with no explanation?

In that case, my answer should still be 1.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in <t>recent</t> months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

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

The sentence states: "...which in recent months has exploded."

The phrase "recent months" refers to months that are close to the present time - specifically, the months that have just passed or are immediately prior to now.

Let me examine the two senses:

1. "new" - with examples like "recent graduates" - this would mean newly made or newly created
2. "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time" - with examples "a late development" - this refers to something that occurred in the immediate past, close to now

In the context "in recent months," the word "recent" is describing months that are of the immediate past - the months that have just occurred or are close to the present time. It's not saying the months are "new" in the sense of newly created, but rather that they are close to the present.

This matches sense 2: "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time"

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent <t>months</t> has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | examples=he paid the bill last month
2. definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill

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

The sentence says: "in recent <t>months</t> has exploded"

This is referring to a period of time in the recent past - a short, undefined period. The phrase "in recent months" is referring to approximately the last few months, but not necessarily tied to specific calendar months or the exact number of days.

Let me look at the two definitions:

1. "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" - this would be referring to January, February, March, etc., specific divisions of the year
2. "a time unit of approximately 30 days" - this is a general time period

The phrase "in recent months" is using "month" as a general time unit to indicate a period of several months ago without being specific about which calendar months. While it could technically span some actual calendar months, the emphasis is on the duration/time period of approximately 30 days each, not on the specific calendar divisions.

Actually, let me reconsider. "In recent months" could refer to recent calendar months (like the months that have just passed). But sense 2 defines it as "a time unit of approximately 30 days" which is more general and not tied to the calendar year.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1: "he paid the bill last month" - this suggests a specific month in the calendar
- Sense 2: "he was given a month to pay the bill" - this suggests a duration of time

The phrase "in recent months" seems more aligned with sense 2, as it's referring to a general time period/duration rather than specific calendar months. However, "recent months" could also mean the recent calendar months that have passed.

I think the most natural interpretation is that "months" here refers to a general time period (sense 2), meaning approximately 30-day periods.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has <t>exploded</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=cause to burst with a violent release of energy | examples=We exploded the nuclear bomb
2. definition=burst outward, usually with noise | examples=The champagne bottle exploded
3. definition=show a violent emotional reaction | examples=The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary
4. definition=be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise | examples=His anger exploded
5. definition=destroy by exploding | examples=The enemy exploded the bridge
6. definition=cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and /k/
7. definition=drive from the stage by noisy disapproval
8. definition=show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete
9. definition=burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction | examples=the bomb detonated at noon
10. definition=increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner | examples=The population of India is exploding

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to determine which sense of "explode" is being used:

"...which in recent months has exploded."

The context is: "the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth...has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

This is talking about a field of study (cancer research) that has exploded. It means the field has grown rapidly and extensively in recent months.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. cause to burst with violent release of energy - No, this is literal physical explosion
2. burst outward, usually with noise - No, literal physical explosion
3. show violent emotional reaction - No, not about emotions
4. be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise - No, not violent or noisy
5. destroy by exploding - No, not destructive
6. linguistic definition about stop consonants - No
7. drive from stage by noisy disapproval - No
8. show theory/claim to be baseless - No, not about refuting something
9. burst and release energy through chemical/physical reaction - No, literal explosion
10. increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner - YES! This fits perfectly - the field of cancer study has increased rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner in recent months.

The answer is 10.

11. definition=cause to stop operating by disengaging a switch | examples=Turn off the stereo, please
12. definition=get up and out of bed | examples=I get up at 7 A.M. every day

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer..."

The phrase "turns out" here means to "prove to be in the result or end" - essentially, the speaker is saying that it was found/discovered/proved that studying this tumor provided insights about cancer.

Looking at the senses:
1. "be shown or be found to be" - similar meaning
2. "prove to be in the result or end" - this matches perfectly with the example "It turns out that he was right"
3. "produce quickly or regularly, usually with machinery" - no
4. "result or end" - this is about the outcome in general, not quite the same
5. "come, usually in answer to an invitation" - no
6. "bring forth" - no
7. "put out or expel from a place" - no
8. "come and gather for a public event" - no
9. "outfit or equip" - no
10. "turn outward" - no
11. "cause to stop operating" - no
12. "get up and out of bed" - no

The correct sense is 2, which explicitly provides the example "It turns out that he was right" - which is structurally identical to our sentence.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer..."

The word "studying" here means examining or analyzing a tumor in detail to gain insights about cancer. Let me check each sense:

1. "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning" - This seems to fit. The scientists are examining/analyzing the tumor in detail to discover essential features about cancer.

2. "be a student; follow a course of study; be enrolled at an institute of learning" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about someone being a student or enrolled.

3. "give careful consideration to" - This is similar to sense 1 but more general.

4. "be a student of a certain subject" - This doesn't fit well.

5. "learn by reading books" - This doesn't fit. They're not learning by reading books; they're studying/examining an actual tumor.

6. "think intently and at length, as for spiritual purposes" - This doesn't fit.

The best match is sense 1: "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning" - which includes the example "analyze a sonnet by Shakespeare". Similarly, here they are analyzing/studying a tumor to discover essential features (insights about cancer).

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a <t>tragic</t> but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=very sad; especially involving grief or death or destruction | examples=a tragic face
2. definition=of or relating to or characteristic of tragedy | examples=tragic hero

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

The sentence reads: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer."

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "very sad; especially involving grief or death or destruction" - example: "a tragic face"
2. "of or relating to or characteristic of tragedy" - example: "tragic hero"

In this context, "tragic" is describing a tumor that is "uncommon" and associated with cancer research. The tumor itself is not sad or grief-inducing in the way sense 1 suggests. Rather, it's describing something that has serious, unfortunate, or unfortunate consequences - i.e., it's a serious illness/disease.

However, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 emphasizes "very sad; especially involving grief or death or destruction" - a tumor that causes death would fit this definition
- Sense 2 is about being "characteristic of tragedy" - relating to the literary or dramatic concept of tragedy

In medical/scientific contexts, when describing a disease or tumor as "tragic," the speaker typically means it's serious and involves death or destruction (sense 1). The tumor itself causes death/destruction, making it tragic in the sense of being very sad and involving death.

This seems to align more with sense 1 - the tumor is tragic because it causes death/destruction (cancer is a deadly disease).

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but <t>uncommon</t> tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=not common or ordinarily encountered; unusually great in amount or remarkable in character or kind | examples=uncommon birds
2. definition=marked by an uncommon quality; especially superlative or extreme of its kind; -J.R.Lowell | examples=what is so rare as a day in June

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two sense definitions provided.

The sentence states: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer..."

Let me look at what "uncommon" means in this context:
- A tragic but uncommon tumor - this is describing a type of tumor that is not frequently encountered, unusual, rare

Now let me examine the two senses:

Sense 1: "not common or ordinarily encountered; unusually great in amount or remarkable in character or kind" with examples like "uncommon birds"
- This definition emphasizes "not ordinarily encountered" and "unusual"
- The example "uncommon birds" suggests birds that are rarely seen/encountered

Sense 2: "marked by an uncommon quality; especially superlative or extreme of its kind" with examples like "what is so rare as a day in June"
- This definition is more about something being remarkable or superlative in its quality
- The example suggests something extraordinarily good or remarkable

In the sentence, "uncommon tumor" refers to a tumor that is rarely encountered or not commonly seen - it's describing the frequency/rarity of this type of tumor, not necessarily that it's superlative in quality.

This fits better with Sense 1: "not common or ordinarily encountered" - the tumor is one that is not ordinarily encountered.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor <t>made</t> possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer,"

The structure here is "made possible some fundamental insights" - this is saying that studying the tumor made it possible to have these insights. In other words, studying the tumor caused it to be possible to have these insights.

Let me look at the sense definitions:

Sense 2: "give certain properties to something" - examples: "get someone mad"
- This could fit - "made possible" gives the property of being possible

Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become" - examples: "make a mess in one's office"
- This fits well - "made possible" means caused to be possible

Looking more carefully at the structure "made possible X" - this is making something (X) to be possible. It's giving something the property of being possible.

Sense 2 says "give certain properties to something" which seems like the right fit. It's like "made possible" is similar to "made different" or giving something the quality of being possible.

Actually, looking at sense 3 again: "make or cause to be or to become" with example "make a mess" - this is making something become something (a mess). "Made possible" is making something become possible.

I think sense 3 is the best fit here because it's about causing something to be or to become a certain way. The tumor made the insights become/be possible.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made <t>possible</t> some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=capable of happening or existing | examples=a breakthrough may be possible next year
2. definition=existing in possibility | examples=a potential problem

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the use of "possible" in the sentence:

"It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made <t>possible</t> some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer."

The sentence structure is "made possible" which means "made [it] possible" or "enabled/allowed."

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "capable of happening or existing" - example: "a breakthrough may be possible next year"
   This sense refers to something that is able to occur or exist.

2. "existing in possibility" - example: "a potential problem"
   This sense refers to something that exists as a possibility or potential.

In the sentence "made possible some fundamental insights," the word "possible" means that the insights became capable of happening/existing - they became something that could occur or exist. The studying of the tumor enabled/made it capable for these insights to happen.

This fits sense 1 best: "capable of happening or existing" - the insights became capable of happening because of the study of the tumor.

Sense 2 would be more like "existing in possibility" which would mean the insights are potential insights, which isn't quite the same meaning in this context.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental <t>insights</t> about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=clear or deep perception of a situation
2. definition=a feeling of understanding
3. definition=the clear (and often sudden) understanding of a complex situation
4. definition=grasping the inner nature of things intuitively

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the different senses of "insight" provided.

The sentence states: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental <t>insights</t> about the most basic workings of cancer..."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "clear or deep perception of a situation" - This could fit, as it refers to understanding something deeply.

2. "a feeling of understanding" - This is vague and seems to focus more on the emotional aspect rather than the actual understanding itself.

3. "the clear (and often sudden) understanding of a complex situation" - This fits well. Cancer's workings are certainly a complex situation, and the study led to understanding about it. The word "fundamental insights" suggests clear, significant understanding of this complexity.

4. "grasping the inner nature of things intuitively" - This suggests an intuitive, almost instinctive understanding. While related, the sentence emphasizes systematic study rather than intuitive grasping.

In the context of the sentence, the "insights" are about understanding "the most basic workings of cancer" - this is describing a complex situation (cancer biology) being understood clearly through research. This aligns best with sense 3: "the clear (and often sudden) understanding of a complex situation."

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most <t>basic</t> workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=pertaining to or constituting a base or basis | examples=a basic fact
2. definition=reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality | examples=a basic story line
3. definition=serving as a base or starting point | examples=a basic course in Russian
4. definition=of or denoting or of the nature of or containing a base

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

The sentence is: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer,"

Here, "basic" is describing "workings of cancer." The phrase "basic workings of cancer" refers to the fundamental, essential, or most significant aspects of how cancer operates - the simplest and most important mechanisms.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "pertaining to or constituting a base or basis" - with example "a basic fact" - This is about something that serves as a foundation or basis for something else.

2. "reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality" - with example "a basic story line" - This refers to something stripped down to essentials, fundamental in the sense of most important/essential.

3. "serving as a base or starting point" - with example "a basic course in Russian" - This is about something that is foundational or introductory.

4. "of or denoting or of the nature of or containing a base" - This seems to be a chemistry-related definition.

The context "most basic workings of cancer" suggests the most fundamental, essential, or elementary aspects. This matches sense 2 - "reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality." The "basic workings" are the fundamental, essential mechanisms without unnecessary complexity.

Actually, it could also fit sense 1 - "pertaining to or constituting a base or basis" - the basic (fundamental) workings of cancer would be those that form the basis of understanding cancer.

But sense 2 seems more precise with its emphasis on "simplest and most significant form."

I think the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of <t>cancer</t>, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
2. definition=(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer
3. definition=a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Leo and Gemini
4. definition=the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22
5. definition=type genus of the family Cancridae

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

The context clearly indicates this is about tumors and the National Cancer Institute, which is a medical/scientific institute dealing with cancer as a disease. The sentence is discussing how studying a tumor led to insights about cancer, and it's said by the director of the National Cancer Institute.

Looking at the senses:
1. "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream" - This is the medical definition of cancer as a disease.
2. "a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer" - This is an astrology definition.
3. "a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Leo and Gemini" - This is an astronomy definition.
4. "the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22" - This is an astrology/zodiac definition.
5. "type genus of the family Cancridae" - This is a biological/taxonomy definition (genus of crabs).

The sentence is clearly using cancer in the medical sense, referring to malignant tumors and disease. So the answer is sense 1.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "<t>says</t> Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=express in words | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her
2. definition=report or maintain | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime
3. definition=express a supposition | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth
4. definition=have or contain a certain wording or form | examples=The passage reads as follows
5. definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | examples=I said to him to go home
6. definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way | examples=She pronounces French words in a funny way
7. definition=communicate or express nonverbally | examples=What does this painting say?
8. definition=utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office
9. definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | examples=I say let's forget this whole business
10. definition=recite or repeat a fixed text | examples=Say grace
11. definition=indicate | examples=The clock says noon

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

In this context, "says" is being used in a direct quote attribution. Samuel Broder is expressing/stating something. The sentence structure is reporting what Samuel Broder said about the research findings.

Looking at the senses:
1. "express in words" - This seems general but fits
2. "report or maintain" - This is about reporting/stating something
3. "express a supposition" - Not applicable here
4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - Not applicable
5. "give instructions" - Not applicable
6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - About how something is said, not applicable
7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - Not applicable
8. "utter aloud" - Could fit, but seems too literal
9. "state as one's opinion or judgement" - This could fit, he's stating his opinion
10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - Not applicable
11. "indicate" - Not applicable

The key here is that Samuel Broder is reporting or stating something about the research - he's expressing information, not just uttering words. This is more like "report or maintain" (sense 2) or possibly just "express in words" (sense 1).

Actually, looking more carefully, in journalistic attribution, "says" typically means the person is expressing/stating something. Sense 1 "express in words" seems most general and appropriate here. But sense 2 "report or maintain" is also very close.

I think sense 1 "express in words" is the most straightforward answer here.

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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, <t>director</t> of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who controls resources and expenditures
2. definition=member of a board of directors
3. definition=someone who supervises the actors and directs the action in the production of a show
4. definition=the person who directs the making of a film
5. definition=the person who leads a musical group

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses provided.

The sentence is: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute."

Samuel Broder is the director of the National Cancer Institute. The National Cancer Institute is a government agency/research organization.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "someone who controls resources and expenditures" - This could potentially apply to someone who heads an organization, but this is more general.

2. "member of a board of directors" - This is not what's being described. He's not just a member of a board; he's THE director of the organization.

3. "someone who supervises the actors and directs the action in the production of a show" - This is about theater/film production. Not applicable.

4. "the person who directs the making of a film" - This is about filmmaking. Not applicable.

5. "the person who leads a musical group" - This is about music. Not applicable.

Wait, let me reconsider. The title "director of the National Cancer Institute" is a leadership position. This is more about someone who leads/heads an organization. Looking back at sense 1, "someone who controls resources and expenditures" - this would be the head of an organization who controls its resources.

Actually, I think sense 1 is the most appropriate here, as it refers to someone in a leadership position who controls the resources and expenditures of an organization.

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

Sentence: "All this may not be obvious to the <t>public</t>, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon. "

Senses:
1. definition=people in general considered as a whole | examples=he is a hero in the eyes of the public
2. definition=a body of people sharing some common interest | examples=the reading public

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and determine which sense of "public" is being used.

The sentence is: "All this may not be obvious to the <t>public</t>, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "people in general considered as a whole" - examples: "he is a hero in the eyes of the public"
2. "a body of people sharing some common interest" - examples: "the reading public"

In the sentence, "the public" refers to people in general who are concerned about medical advances in treatment. It's talking about the general population, not a specific group of people with a particular common interest like "the reading public" (which would be specifically people who read) or "the scientific public" (which would be specifically scientists).

The phrase "the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment" refers to people in general - the general population - who have this concern.

This matches sense 1: "people in general considered as a whole"

Sentence: "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is <t>concerned</t> about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon. "

Senses:
1. definition=feeling or showing worry or solicitude | examples=concerned parents of youthful offenders
2. definition=involved in or affected by or having a claim to or share in | examples=a memorandum to those concerned
3. definition=culpably involved | examples=all those concerned in the bribery case have been identified

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is <t>concerned</t> about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

The word "concerned" is used here in the phrase "the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment."

Let me check each sense:

1. "feeling or showing worry or solicitude" - This fits. The public is worried/anxious about advances in treatment. This shows the public is expressing worry about something.

2. "involved in or affected by or having a claim to or share in" - This could partially fit because the public is affected by advances in treatment, but the primary meaning here is about their emotional state of worry.

3. "culpably involved" - This doesn't fit. There's no suggestion of guilt or culpable involvement.

The sentence is clearly saying that the public is worried/anxious about advances in treatment. This is sense 1 - "feeling or showing worry or solicitude."

The example "concerned parents of youthful offenders" also supports this - parents who are worried about or solicitious of youthful offenders.

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

Sentence: "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about <t>advances</t> in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon. "

Senses:
1. definition=a movement forward | examples=he listened for the progress of the troops
2. definition=a change for the better; progress in development
3. definition=a tentative suggestion designed to elicit the reactions of others | examples=she rejected his advances
4. definition=the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)
5. definition=an amount paid before it is earned
6. definition=increase in price or value | examples=the news caused a general advance on the stock market

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the different senses of "advance" (or "advances" in this case).

The sentence is: "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

The word used is "advances" (plural noun form of "advance").

Let me go through each sense:

1. "a movement forward" - This is more literal/physical movement
2. "a change for the better; progress in development" - This seems relevant to "advances in treatment"
3. "a tentative suggestion designed to elicit reactions of others" - This doesn't fit (and is often used in contexts like "romantic advances")
4. "the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)" - Similar to #1, more literal
5. "an amount paid before it is earned" - This is a financial term, doesn't fit
6. "increase in price or value" - This is also about value/price, doesn't fit

In the context of "advances in treatment," the word refers to improvements or progress in medical treatment. This clearly corresponds to sense #2: "a change for the better; progress in development."

The answer is 2.

Senses:
1. definition=care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)
2. definition=the management of someone or something | examples=the handling of prisoners
3. definition=a manner of dealing with something artistically | examples=his treatment of space borrows from Italian architecture
4. definition=an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic | examples=the book contains an excellent discussion of modal logic

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "treatment" is being used:

"All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about advances in <t>treatment</t>, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

The context is about "advances in treatment" in relation to medical/basic research showing results. The public is "concerned about advances in treatment."

Let me go through each sense:

1. "care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)" - This fits. In the context of medical research and showing results, "treatment" refers to medical procedures or applications to help patients.

2. "the management of someone or something | examples=the handling of prisoners" - This is about managing/handling things or people. This doesn't fit the medical context here.

3. "a manner of dealing with something artistically | examples=his treatment of space borrows from Italian architecture" - This is about artistic approach. This doesn't fit.

4. "an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic | examples=the book contains an excellent discussion of modal logic" - This is about discussion or communication about a topic. This doesn't fit.

The sentence is clearly about medical advances and how research will show results in improving medical care for patients. The sense being used is #1 - medical procedures or applications intended to relieve illness or injury.
