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

Sentence: When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a <t>cell</t>'s growth in check.

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
3. definition=a device that delivers an electric current as the result of a chemical reaction
4. definition=a small unit serving as part of or as the nucleus of a larger political movement
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: "When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check."

The context is about proteins holding a "cell's growth in check." This is clearly referring to the biological context - the basic unit of living organisms. The sentence is talking about cellular biology and how proteins regulate cell growth.

Let me look at the senses:
1. Small compartment (like honeycomb) - not biological
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - this fits! The sentence is about cell growth and proteins in a cell
3. A device for electric current - no
4. A unit of a political movement - no
5. A mobile radiotelephone - no
6. A monk's/nun's room - no
7. A prisoner's room - no

The answer is clearly sense 2, as this is the biological definition of a cell, which is what makes sense in the context of proteins regulating a cell's growth.

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

Sentence: When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's <t>growth</t> in check.

Senses:
1. definition=(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 | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children
2. definition=a progression from simpler to more complex forms | examples=the growth of culture
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=vegetation that has grown | examples=a growth of trees
5. definition=the gradual beginning or coming forth | examples=figurines presage the emergence of sculpture in Greece
6. definition=(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)
7. definition=something grown or growing | examples=a growth of hair

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check."

The sentence is talking about proteins that regulate or control the growth of a cell. This is in a biological context, where cells grow and divide.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "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 process of growth of an organism becoming more complex. The example given is about "osseous development in children" which is the growth/development of bone.

2. "a progression from simpler to more complex forms" - This is more general, about progression.

3. "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - This is about the process of increasing in size, length, number, or importance.

4. "vegetation that has grown" - This is about plants/vegetation.

5. "the gradual beginning or coming forth" - This is about emergence.

6. "(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)" - This is about tumors/abnormal tissue growth.

7. "something grown or growing" - This is a very general sense.

In the context "hold a cell's growth in check," the proteins are preventing or limiting the cell's growth - meaning they're preventing the cell from becoming larger/multiplying. This is clearly referring to the biological process of a cell becoming larger or increasing in size/number.

This best matches sense 1 - "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" - since cells are biological organisms undergoing growth.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 3 says "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" which also fits - cells becoming larger or more numerous.
Sense 1 emphasizes the organic, biological nature of the process and the transformation toward greater complexity, while sense 3 is broader and just focuses on becoming larger or more numerous. Since cells are fundamentally biological entities undergoing growth, sense 1 captures this better. The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: But if the genes are <t>damaged</t> -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant.

Senses:
1. definition=inflict damage upon | examples=The snow damaged the roof
2. definition=suffer or be susceptible to damage | examples=These fine china cups damage easily

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two senses of "damage":

The sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

In this context, "damaged" is being used in a passive voice construction. The genes are being acted upon - they receive damage from external sources like radiation, chemicals, or accidents in cell division.

Sense 1: "inflict damage upon" - This is the transitive sense where something actively damages something else. Example: "The snow damaged the roof" - here the snow actively damages the roof.

Sense 2: "suffer or be susceptible to damage" - This is about experiencing or receiving damage. Example: "These fine china cups damage easily" - the cups are the ones that suffer damage.

In the sentence, "the genes are damaged" means the genes are receiving/suffering damage from external causes. This matches sense 2 - the genes are experiencing damage.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by <t>radiation</t>, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant.

Senses:
1. definition=energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
2. definition=the act of spreading outward from a central source
3. definition=syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., exposure to radioactive chemicals or to nuclear explosions); low doses cause diarrhea and nausea and vomiting and sometimes loss of hair; greater exposure can cause sterility and cataracts and some forms of cancer and other diseases; severe exposure can cause death within hours | examples=he was suffering from radiation
4. definition=the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay
5. definition=the spread of a group of organisms into new habitats
6. definition=a radial arrangement of nerve fibers connecting different parts of the brain
7. definition=(medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to a radioactive substance

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

The sentence states: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

The context is:
- Genes are damaged
- This damage can occur through radiation, a chemical, or a chance accident
- This leads to cancer (malignant cells)

Looking at the senses:

1. Energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles - This is a general physics definition
2. The act of spreading outward from a central source - This is about spreading
3. Syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation - This is about the disease/syndrome caused by exposure
4. The spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay - This is about radioactive decay
5. The spread of a group of organisms into new habitats - This is about biology/evolution
6. A radial arrangement of nerve fibers - This is about neurology
7. Treatment of disease by exposure to radioactive substance - This is about medical treatment

In the context of the sentence, radiation is mentioned as something that can damage genes and cause cancer. This refers to ionizing radiation from radioactive sources or nuclear processes that can cause genetic damage leading to cancer.

Sense 1 (energy that is radiated) is the most general and would encompass radioactive radiation used to damage genes.

Sense 4 (spontaneous emission of particles or rays in nuclear decay) is also about the physical phenomenon.

However, the most specific sense that matches the context of "radiation causing genetic damage and cancer" would be sense 1, which describes radiation as energy transmitted in the form of rays or particles - this is what damages genes.

I think sense 1 is the most appropriate answer.

26. definition=go sour or spoil | examples=The milk has soured
27. definition=arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion | examples=The stitches of the hem worked loose after she wore the skirt many times

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer <t>work</t>, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

In this context, the proteins "no longer work" means they no longer function as they should or have the desired effect. The proteins are supposed to suppress growth, but when the genes are damaged, these proteins can no longer perform their function or achieve their intended purpose.

Looking at the definitions:
- Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected" - This fits because the proteins should have an effect (suppressing growth) but no longer do.
- Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied" - This could also fit, as the proteins should perform their function but no longer do.

The key difference is:
- Sense 3 is about having an effect or outcome (often desired)
- Sense 4 is about performing as expected

The sentence is saying the proteins "no longer work" in the sense that they don't function or perform their role anymore. This is closest to sense 4, which is about something performing as expected.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" for sense 4 suggests the machine needs to operate/function properly. Similarly, the proteins need to "work" means they need to function/operate properly.

Yes, I think sense 4 is the correct answer - "perform as expected when applied" - because the proteins should perform their growth-suppressing function but no longer do when the genes are damaged.

Alternatively, sense 3 could work too - "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected" - because the proteins should have the effect of suppressing growth.

I think sense 3 is actually more accurate here because the emphasis is on having an effect or outcome, rather than just operating/functioning.
Both interpretations are defensible, but sense 3 captures the core meaning more precisely—the proteins fail to produce their intended suppressive effect on cell growth.

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

The sentence is: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

The context mentions:
- Genes being damaged
- Cell division (which is a biological process)
- Growth-suppressing proteins
- Cells turning malignant (becoming cancerous)

This is clearly discussing cellular biology. The "cells" in the sentence refers to the basic structural and functional units of organisms that can become cancerous/malignant.

Let me check the definitions:
1. Small compartment (like honeycomb) - Not the right context
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - This matches! The context is about genes, division, proteins, and malignancy
3. Device that delivers electric current - Not relevant
4. Small unit of political movement - Not relevant
5. Mobile phone - Not relevant
6. Monk/nun's room - Not relevant
7. Prisoner's room - Not relevant

The answer is 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control <t>turn</t> malignant."

The phrase is "cells turn malignant" - this means cells become malignant. We need to find which sense means "become" or "undergo a change to become."

Let me look through the options:

1. Change orientation/direction - No
2. Undergo a transformation or change of position or action - Possibly
3. Undergo a change or development - Could be
4. Cause to move around - No
5. Change to the contrary - No
6. Pass to the other side - No
7. Pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become - This looks like the right one! "become"
8. Let something fall - No
9. Move around axis - No
10. Cause to move around - No
11. Send or let go - No
12. Turn over earth with plow - No
13. Shape on lathe - No
14. Change color - No
15. Twist to sprain - No
16. Cause to change into something different - This could also work
17. Accomplish by rotating - No
18. Get by buying and selling - No
19. Cause to move - No
20. Channel attention - No
21. Bend - No
22. Alter functioning - No
23. Direct at someone - No
24. Make appeal - No
25. Go sour - No
26. Become officially one year older - No

Sense 7 specifically says "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become" with example "The weather turned nasty" - this is very similar to "cells turn malignant" - becoming malignant is taking on a specific property/attribute.

The answer is 7.

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

Sentence: The newly <t>identified</t> genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:
1. definition=recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something | examples=She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster
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=consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else | examples=He identified with the refugees
4. definition=conceive of as united or associated | examples=Sex activity is closely identified with the hypothalamus
5. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example
6. definition=consider to be equal or the same | examples=He identified his brother as one of the fugitives

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

In this context, "identified" means that the genes have been recognized or determined - essentially classified or determined to be a particular type of gene. The genes are being "identified" in the scientific sense.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something" - This could fit, as it means to recognize what something is.

2. "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property" - This seems to be about naming or describing.

3. "consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else" - This doesn't fit; it's about personal identification.

4. "conceive of as united or associated" - This is about association, doesn't quite fit.

5. "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - This is specifically about biological/botanical classification, which fits perfectly for genes.

6. "consider to be equal or the same" - This doesn't fit well.

The sentence is clearly about scientific discovery and classification of genes. Sense 5 specifically mentions "identify as in botany or biology" which is exactly the context here. This is about classifying genes in a scientific context.

The answer should be 5.

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

Sentence: The newly identified genes <t>differ</t> from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:
1. definition=be different | examples=These two tests differ in only one respect
2. definition=be of different opinions | examples=I beg to differ!

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "be different" - This means the genes are not the same, they are different from each other
2. "be of different opinions" - This means to disagree about opinions

In the sentence, the genes are being compared and shown to be different from each other. The newly identified genes are not the same as the oncogenes from the 1980s. This is using the sense of "be different."

The sentence is not about opinions or disagreements between people - it's about genes being different/distinct from another family of genes.

So the answer is sense 1.

Sentence: The newly identified genes differ from a <t>family</t> of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:
1. definition=a social unit living together | examples=he moved his family to Virginia
2. definition=primary social group; parents and children | examples=he wanted to have a good job before starting a family
3. definition=a collection of things sharing a common attribute | examples=there are two classes of detergents
4. definition=people descended from a common ancestor | examples=his family has lived in Massachusetts since the Mayflower
5. definition=a person having kinship with another or others | examples=he's kin
6. definition=(biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera | examples=sharks belong to the fish family
7. definition=a loose affiliation of gangsters in charge of organized criminal activities
8. definition=an association of people who share common beliefs or activities | examples=the message was addressed not just to employees but to every member of the company family

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a <t>family</t> of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

In this context, "family" refers to a group of genes that share common characteristics or properties. It's not referring to:
- A social unit (sense 1)
- Parents and children (sense 2)
- People descended from a common ancestor (sense 4)
- A person having kinship (sense 5)
- A biological taxonomic group (sense 6) - though this is about biology, it's not about the formal taxonomic classification
- Gangsters (sense 7)
- A corporate/organizational affiliation (sense 8)

The definition "a collection of things sharing a common attribute" (sense 3) with the example "there are two classes of detergents" matches perfectly. The sentence is talking about genes that belong to the same "family" or group because they share common characteristics, similar to how detergents can be grouped into classes based on shared attributes.

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes <t>discovered</t> in the early 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:
1. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children
3. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding | examples=Roentgen discovered X-rays
4. definition=make a discovery | examples=She found that he had lied to her
5. definition=find unexpectedly | examples=the archeologists chanced upon an old tomb
6. definition=make known to the public information that was previously known only to a few people or that was meant to be kept a secret | examples=The auction house would not disclose the price at which the van Gogh had sold
7. definition=see for the first time; make a discovery | examples=Who discovered the North Pole?
8. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

The word "discovered" here refers to genes that were found/identified in the early 1980s. The sentence is saying that scientists found/identified a family of genes in the early 1980s that are called oncogenes.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This is about detecting or determining something exists. The example is "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water" - this is about determining/detecting the presence of something.

2. "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - This is about becoming aware, usually accidentally.

3. "make a discovery, make a new finding" - This is about making a new discovery or finding. Example: "Roentgen discovered X-rays" - this is about making a new scientific discovery.

4. "make a discovery" - Similar to 3. Example: "She found that he had lied to her"

5. "find unexpectedly" - Finding something by chance.

6. "make known to the public information that was previously known only to a few people" - This is about revealing secrets or private information.

7. "see for the first time; make a discovery" - This is about seeing/finding something for the first time. Example: "Who discovered the North Pole?"

8. "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - This is about identifying/classifying something.

In the sentence, the genes were "discovered in the early 1980s" - meaning they were found/identified for the first time at that time. This fits with sense 7 "see for the first time; make a discovery" - the example "Who discovered the North Pole?" is very similar in structure.

Actually, sense 3 also fits well - "make a discovery, make a new finding" with the example "Roentgen discovered X-rays."
Sense 7 is the better fit because it explicitly emphasizes finding something for the first time, which captures the essence of genes being identified as new to science in the early 1980s. The answer is 7.

6. definition=expected in the near future | examples=look for an early end to the negotiations

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

Let me analyze the usage of "early" here:
- It's referring to "the early 1980s"
- This means the beginning of the 1980s decade (like 1980-1983 or so)
- It's not about development, not about the distant past, not about age, not about language development, and not about something expected in the future

Looking at the senses:
1. "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time" - This fits! "The early 1980s" means at or near the beginning of the 1980s period.
2. "being or occurring at an early stage of development" - This is more about stages of development
3. "belonging to the distant past" - The 1980s isn't really the distant past
4. "very young" - Not about age
5. "of an early stage in the development of a language or literature" - Not about language/literature
6. "expected in the near future" - Not about future expectations

The correct sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

In this context, "called" means that the genes are "named" or "referred to as" oncogenes. The genes are known as/designated as oncogenes.

Let me look at the senses:
1. assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to - "They named their son David"
2. ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality - "He called me a bastard"
27. consider or regard as being - "I would not call her beautiful"

The phrase "called oncogenes" means the genes are "known as" or "designated as" oncogenes. This is similar to sense 1 (assigning a name) or sense 27 (considering/regarding as being).

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 is about assigning a proper name
- Sense 2 is about ascribing a quality with a common noun
- Sense 27 is about considering or regarding something as being something

In "genes called oncogenes," the genes are being designated/named as oncogenes. This is closest to sense 1 - "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" - but "oncogenes" is not a proper name, it's a common noun.

Wait, let me reconsider. "Called" in this context means the genes are "referred to as" or "named" oncogenes. This is essentially the passive form of sense 1 - the genes were given the name oncogenes. Even though oncogenes is not a proper name, the definition still applies - it's assigning/giving a name to something.

I think the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be <t>present</t> for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration | examples=the present leader
2. definition=being or existing in a specified place | examples=the murderer is present in this room

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

The word "present" is used as an adjective here. Let me analyze what it means:

"Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant" - this means oncogenes must exist or be there/in the cell for the cell to become malignant.

Let me check both senses:

1. "temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration" - This could refer to something that exists now or is being considered.

2. "being or existing in a specified place" - This refers to something existing in a location.

In the context of the sentence, "present" means that oncogenes must exist (be there) in the cell. The example "the murderer is present in this room" shows a similar usage - it means the murderer is in that location/existing in that place.

However, "present" in "Oncogenes must be present" could also mean they need to exist or be there in a more general sense of "existing" rather than specifically "in a particular place."

Let me think about this more carefully:
- Sense 1: "now existing or happening or in consideration" - oncogenes must be existing/in existence
- Sense 2: "being or existing in a specified place" - oncogenes must be existing in the cell

Actually, sense 2 seems more appropriate because the context implies they need to be in the cell. The sentence is talking about their presence/existence in cells (both normal and cancerous).

The answer should be 2.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a <t>cell</t> to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

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
3. definition=a device that delivers an electric current as the result of a chemical reaction
4. definition=a small unit serving as part of or as the nucleus of a larger political movement
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:
Looking at the sentence: "Oncogenes must be present for a <t>cell</t> to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

This sentence is clearly discussing biology and cancer. The context involves:
- Oncogenes (cancer-related genes)
- Malignant cells
- Normal vs cancerous cells
- Cancer biology

The word "cell" here refers to the basic structural and functional unit of organisms - a biological cell. This matches sense 2.

Let me verify the other senses:
1. Small compartment like honeycomb cells - No, this is not the context
2. Biology - basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - YES, this is it
3. Device that delivers electric current - No, not relevant here
4. Small unit of political movement - No, not relevant
5. Mobile phone - No, not relevant
6. Monk/nun's room - No, not relevant
7. Prisoner's room - No, not relevant

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to <t>become</t> malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news
2. definition=undergo a change or development | examples=The water turned into ice
3. definition=come into existence | examples=What becomes has duration
4. definition=enhance the appearance of | examples=Mourning becomes Electra

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the different senses of "become":

The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

The word "become" here is being used to describe a cell transitioning into a malignant state or condition. Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "enter or assume a certain state or condition" - This fits the context. The cell is becoming malignant, meaning it's entering or assuming the condition of being malignant. The example "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news" shows entering a state (annoyed).

2. "undergo a change or development" - This could also seem relevant, but the example given is "The water turned into ice" which is more about a transformation. This is similar but the definition says "undergo a change or development."

3. "come into existence" - This doesn't fit. The cell already exists; it's not coming into existence.

4. "enhance the appearance of" - This doesn't fit at all. This is about making something look better.

Between 1 and 2, sense 1 is more accurate. "Enter or assume a certain state or condition" directly describes what happens when a cell becomes malignant - it enters/assumes the state of being malignant. This is the most precise sense for this usage.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have <t>found</t> them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with | examples=We find this idea in Plato
2. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
3. definition=come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost | examples=Did you find your glasses?
4. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | examples=find the product of two numbers
5. definition=come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds | examples=I feel that he doesn't like me
6. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices
7. definition=get something or somebody for a specific purpose | examples=I found this gadget that will serve as a bottle opener
8. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding | examples=Roentgen discovered X-rays
9. definition=make a discovery | examples=She found that he had lied to her
10. definition=obtain through effort or management | examples=She found the time and energy to take care of her aging parents
11. definition=decide on and make a declaration about | examples=find someone guilty
12. definition=receive a specified treatment (abstract) | examples=These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation
13. definition=perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place | examples=I found myself in a difficult situation
14. definition=get or find back; recover the use of | examples=She regained control of herself
15. definition=succeed in reaching; arrive at | examples=The arrow found its mark
16. definition=accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation | examples=My son went to Berkeley to find himself

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

In this context, "found" means that researchers discovered or determined the existence of oncogenes in both normal and cancerous cells. They were investigating whether oncogenes exist, and through their research/investigation, they discovered their presence.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "come upon, as if by accident" - No, this wasn't accidental
2. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This fits well. Researchers determined the existence/presence of oncogenes
3. "come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost" - Possible, but less precise
4. "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - This also fits well. Through their experiments/research, they established that oncogenes are present
8. "make a discovery, make a new finding" - This could also fit
9. "make a discovery" - This could fit too

The most precise match is sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - because the key idea is that researchers determined the presence of oncogenes in normal cells (which was significant/notable).

Actually, sense 4 also fits very well: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - This emphasizes that through research/investigation, they established this fact.

But sense 2 is more about discovering/determining the existence or presence, which is exactly what happened in this sentence. Sense 4 is more about establishing something through a process.

I think sense 2 is the best answer.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in <t>normal</t> as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal | examples=serve wine at normal room temperature
2. definition=in accordance with scientific laws
3. definition=being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child
4. definition=forming a right angle

reasoning_content:
The sentence states: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

I need to determine which sense of "normal" is being used here.

Let me analyze each sense:

1. "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal" - This is about something being standard or typical, not unusual. In the context of the sentence, "normal cells" would mean cells that are typical or standard, not abnormal (not cancerous).

2. "in accordance with scientific laws" - This relates to whether something follows scientific laws or principles.

3. "being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development" - This is about being within normal range of development or characteristics.

4. "forming a right angle" - This is a geometric term.

In the sentence, "normal cells" is contrasted with "cancerous cells." This is clearly referring to cells that are healthy and typical, as opposed to abnormal (cancerous) cells. The word "normal" here means cells that are in their standard state, not abnormal.

This matches sense 1: "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal"

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in <t>cancerous</t> cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to or affected with cancer | examples=a cancerous growth
2. definition=like a cancer; an evil that grows and spreads | examples=remorse was cancerous within him

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

Sentence: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

The word "cancerous" is being used in a scientific/medical context. The sentence is talking about cells that have cancer or are affected by cancer - specifically referring to cells that are malignant or diseased with cancer.

Sense 1: "relating to or affected with cancer" with example "a cancerous growth" - This is clearly about cells that are affected with or have cancer.

Sense 2: "like a cancer; an evil that grows and spreads" with example "remorse was cancerous within him" - This is a metaphorical use, describing something that grows and spreads like cancer but isn't literally cancer.

In the sentence, "cancerous cells" refers to cells that are literally affected with cancer, not a metaphorical use. This matches Sense 1 perfectly.

The answer is 1.

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:
The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous <t>cells</t>, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

The context is about cancer, oncogenes, and whether cells become malignant. This is clearly a biological/medical context.

Looking at the senses:
1. small compartment (like in honeycomb) - no
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - YES, this fits perfectly
3. electric current device - no
4. small unit of political movement - no
5. hand-held mobile radiotelephone - no
6. monk's/nun's room - no
7. prisoner's room - no

The answer is clearly 2, as "cells" refers to biological cells in the context of cancer and organisms.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, <t>suggesting</t> that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=make a proposal, declare a plan for something | examples=the senator proposed to abolish the sales tax
2. definition=drop a hint; intimate by a hint
3. definition=imply as a possibility | examples=The evidence suggests a need for more clarification
4. definition=suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine | examples=Tetracycline is indicated in such cases
5. definition=call to mind | examples=this remark evoked sadness

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions of each sense:

"Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

Looking at how "suggesting" is used here:
- The sentence is saying that the finding (oncogenes in both normal and cancerous cells) indicates or implies that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves
- It's pointing to a logical implication or conclusion from the evidence

Let me match this with the definitions:

1. "make a proposal, declare a plan for something" - No, this is not about making a proposal
2. "drop a hint; intimate by a hint" - Could be close, but this seems more like subtle hinting
3. "imply as a possibility" - Yes, this fits. The findings imply/suggest the possibility that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves
4. "suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine" - No, this is specific to medical intervention
5. "call to mind" - Not really, it's not about calling something to mind

The best match is definition 3: "imply as a possibility" with the example "The evidence suggests a need for more clarification" which is very similar in structure to our sentence where the evidence suggests something about the nature of oncogenes.

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't <t>cause</t> cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | examples=cause a commotion
2. definition=cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner | examples=The ads induced me to buy a VCR

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "suggesting that oncogenes don't <t>cause</t> cancer by themselves."

I need to determine which sense of "cause" is being used:

1. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally" - example: cause a commotion
2. "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" - example: The ads induced me to buy a VCR

In the sentence, "cause cancer" means to "give rise to" or "bring about" cancer. It's not about causing something/someone to do something or act in a particular way. It's about causing an event or condition (cancer) to happen.

This matches sense 1: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally"

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause <t>cancer</t> by themselves.

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 discussing oncogenes, malignant growth, cell division, and whether they cause cancer. The context is clearly about medical/biological disease, not astrology or zoology.

The word "cancer" in this sentence refers to a malignant tumor or disease caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division. This matches sense 1.

The other senses are:
2. A person born under the Cancer zodiac sign
3. A constellation
4. A zodiac sign
5. A genus of crabs

Clearly, sense 1 is the correct answer.

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

Sentence: In <t>recent</t> months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged.

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 and the two senses provided.

The sentence is: "In <t>recent</t> months, researchers have come to believe..."

Now let's look at the two senses:

1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
   - This sense refers to something that is new
   - "recent graduates" = new graduates (graduates from a recent graduation time)

2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development
   - This sense refers to something that happened in the immediate past, not long ago
   - "a late development" = something that happened recently/in the immediate past

In the sentence "In recent months," the word "recent" is referring to months that are in the immediate past - the months that just happened or happened not long ago. This is not necessarily about something being "new" in the sense of a new object or person, but rather about time that is close to the present.

So the correct sense is #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: In recent <t>months</t>, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged.

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 usage of "months" in the sentence:

"In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

The word "months" is used to refer to a period of time in the recent past. Let me consider both senses:

1. "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" - This would refer to specific calendar months like January, February, etc.
2. "a time unit of approximately 30 days" - This refers to months as a duration of time, without necessarily referring to specific calendar divisions.

In the sentence, "in recent months" refers to a general period of time in the past, not to specific calendar divisions. The phrase "in recent months" is describing an approximate time period of duration, not which specific calendar months. This aligns with sense 2, which defines a month as "a time unit of approximately 30 days."

The answer is 2.

19. definition=proceed or get along | examples=How is she doing in her new job?
20. definition=experience orgasm | examples=she could not come because she was too upset
21. definition=have a certain priority | examples=My family comes first

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert..."

I need to find which sense of "come" fits this usage. Looking at the phrase "come to believe," this is describing a change of state - researchers have reached a state of believing something. They have transitioned from not believing to believing.

Let me check the relevant senses:

1. Move toward/approach - doesn't fit
2. Reach a destination/arrive - doesn't fit
3. Come to pass/arrive as in due course - doesn't fit
4. "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position" with example "The water came to a boil" - THIS FITS! "Come to believe" means to enter into a state of believing, similar to "come to a boil"
5. Product or result - doesn't fit
6. Be found or available - doesn't fit
7. Come forth - doesn't fit
8. Be a native of - doesn't fit
9. Extend or reach - doesn't fit
10. Exist in a certain point in series - doesn't fit
11. Cover a distance - doesn't fit
12. Come under/be classified - doesn't fit
13. Happen as a result - doesn't fit
14. Add up in number - doesn't fit
15. Develop into - doesn't fit
16. Be received - doesn't fit
17. Come to one's mind - doesn't fit
18. Come from/be connected by relationship - doesn't fit
19. Proceed or get along - doesn't fit
20. Experience orgasm - doesn't fit
21. Have certain priority - doesn't fit

The answer is clearly 4, as "come to believe" follows the same pattern as "come to a boil" - both represent reaching or entering a particular state or condition.

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 to determine which sense of "cancer" is being used.

The sentence is: "In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

The context here is clearly medical/biological. The sentence discusses:
- Cancer genes
- Oncogenes
- Proliferating cells becoming malignant
- Tumor-suppressor genes
- Cell damage

This is discussing cancer as a disease - malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.

Let me check each sense:
1. "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division" - This matches perfectly with the context of the sentence.
2. "(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer" - Not applicable
3. "a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere" - Not applicable
4. "the fourth sign of the zodiac" - Not applicable
5. "type genus of the family Cancridae" - This is a taxonomic term for a genus of crabs, not applicable

The answer is clearly sense 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

I need to understand what "turn" means in this context. The oncogene "turns" the proliferating cells malignant. This means the oncogene causes the cells to become malignant.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

- Sense 3: "undergo a change or development" - examples: "The water turned into ice" - this is about something undergoing a change
- Sense 7: "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become" - examples: "The weather turned nasty" - this is about something becoming a certain way
- Sense 16: "cause to change or turn into something different; assume new characteristics" - examples: "The princess turned the frog into a prince by kissing him" - this is about causing something to change

Looking at the sentence structure: "turn proliferating cells malignant" - this is a causative construction where the oncogene causes the cells to become malignant.

This fits best with sense 16: "cause to change or turn into something different; assume new characteristics" - because the oncogene is causing the cells to change from proliferating to malignant.

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider. The example for sense 16 is "The princess turned the frog into a prince" which shows turning X into Y. In our sentence, it's "turn cells malignant" where malignant is an adjective, not a noun. This is still the causative sense though.

I believe the answer is 16.

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 and the senses provided.

The sentence is: "In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating <t>cells</t> malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

This is a scientific/biological context discussing cancer genes and how they affect cells. The term "cells" is being used to refer to the basic structural and functional units of living organisms that are affected by the cancer genes.

Let me check each sense:
1. Small compartments (honeycomb) - No, this is not what's meant
2. (Biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - YES, this is clearly the biological meaning
3. A device for electric current - No
4. A small unit in a political movement - No
5. A mobile phone - No
6. A monk's room - No
7. A prisoner's room - No

The correct answer is sense 2, as it refers to the biological definition of cells as the basic structural and functional units of organisms.

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

Sentence: In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant <t>only</t> after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged.

Senses:
1. definition=and nothing more | examples=I was merely asking
2. definition=without any others being included or involved | examples=was entirely to blame
3. definition=with nevertheless the final result | examples=He arrived only to find his wife dead
4. definition=in the final outcome | examples=These news will only make you more upset
5. definition=except that | examples=It was the same story; only this time she came out better
6. definition=never except when | examples=call me only if your cold gets worse
7. definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago

raw_output:
6

The word "only" in this sentence means "never except when" - it's specifying that the oncogene turns cells malignant never except when the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. This restrictive sense emphasizes the conditional requirement for the oncogene's action.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

I need to determine which sense of "only" is being used here.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "and nothing more" - This would mean the oncogene is "nothing more than" turning cells malignant after the gene is damaged. This doesn't fit well.

2. "without any others being included or involved" - This could mean the oncogene alone (and no other factors) turns cells malignant after the gene is damaged. This could fit.

3. "with nevertheless the final result" - This implies arriving/happening to find something. Doesn't fit.

4. "in the final outcome" - This would suggest that in the final outcome, the oncogene upsets you. Doesn't fit contextually.

5. "except that" - This would be a conjunction. Doesn't fit here.

6. "never except when" - This would mean "The oncogene never turns cells malignant except when the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged." This fits very well.

7. "as recently as" - This is about time. Doesn't fit.

The sentence is saying that the oncogene can only (meaning "never except when") turn cells malignant after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. This is restrictive - it's specifying the condition under which the oncogene acts.

The answer should be 6.

The word "only" in this sentence means "never except when" - it's specifying that the oncogene turns cells malignant never except when the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. This restrictive sense emphasizes the conditional requirement for the oncogene's action.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 7. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider this sentence: "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant <t>only</t> after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

Looking at the senses again:
1. and nothing more | I was merely asking
2. without any others being included or involved | was entirely to blame
3. with nevertheless the final result | He arrived only to find his wife dead
4. in the final outcome | These news will only make you more upset
5. except that | It was the same story; only this time she came out better
6. never except when | call me only if your cold gets worse
7. as recently as | I spoke to him only an hour ago

The structure is "may turn... malignant only after X" - this means it will turn malignant in the final outcome or as a final result when X happens.

Actually, thinking about it more carefully:
- Sense 3 "with nevertheless the final result" fits sentences like "He arrived only to find his wife dead" - where there's a final/unexpected result
- Sense 4 "in the final outcome" fits "These news will only make you more upset" - where something happens as a final result

In the cancer sentence: "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged" - the "only" here indicates that the malignant turning happens after that condition, suggesting it's about the final outcome or what happens in the end.

I think this is sense 3 or 4. Sense 3 seems to fit better because it describes a result/outcome that follows.

Let me go with 3.

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

Sentence: In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been <t>damaged</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=inflict damage upon | examples=The snow damaged the roof
2. definition=suffer or be susceptible to damage | examples=These fine china cups damage easily

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze how "damaged" is used in the sentence:

"An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been <t>damaged</t>."

In this sentence, "damaged" is used in passive voice - "has been damaged." We need to determine what "damaged" means here.

Sense 1: "inflict damage upon" - This would mean someone/something is actively causing damage to something else. In passive voice, this would mean the tumor-suppressor gene is having damage inflicted upon it by some external force or agent.

Sense 2: "suffer or be susceptible to damage" - This would mean the tumor-suppressor gene itself is experiencing damage or is prone to being damaged.

Looking at the sentence, the tumor-suppressor gene "has been damaged" - this is passive voice. The agent causing the damage is not explicitly mentioned, but the key question is whether we're talking about:
1. Something inflicting damage on the gene (sense 1)
2. The gene suffering/experiencing damage (sense 2)

In the context of cancer biology, when a tumor-suppressor gene "has been damaged," it means the gene has suffered damage - its DNA has been altered or mutated. This is describing the state or condition of the gene experiencing damage.

However, sense 1 "inflict damage upon" can also work with passive voice - "The gene has been damaged" = "damage has been inflicted upon the gene."

The question is which sense is being used. Both could technically fit, but sense 1 (inflict damage) is the more standard/primary meaning when we talk about something being damaged. Sense 2 seems more specific to things that are "susceptible" to damage.

Given the biological context where genes suffer mutations/damage, and the passive voice construction "has been damaged," I think sense 1 is the correct answer - damage has been inflicted upon the tumor-suppressor gene.

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

Sentence: Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are <t>inherited</t> in two copies, one from each parent.

Senses:
1. definition=obtain from someone after their death | examples=I inherited a castle from my French grandparents
2. definition=receive from a predecessor | examples=The new chairman inherited many problems from the previous chair
3. definition=receive by genetic transmission | examples=I inherited my good eyesight from my mother

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent."

The sentence is talking about genes being inherited, and it specifically mentions "one from each parent." This is clearly about genetic transmission - the passing of genes from parents to offspring.

Looking at the three senses:
1. "obtain from someone after their death" - This is about inheritance of property after death. Not relevant here.
2. "receive from a predecessor" - This is about receiving things in a professional or institutional context. Not relevant here.
3. "receive by genetic transmission" - This is about inheriting traits or genes from parents. The example "I inherited my good eyesight from my mother" is very similar to the sentence about inheriting genes from parents.

The correct sense is 3.

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

Sentence: Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two <t>copies</t>, one from each parent.

Senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent."

In this context, "copies" refers to the two versions of the genes - one inherited from each parent. This is a biological/genetic context where we're talking about having two instances or versions of something.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)" - This is about copying documents or records. Not the right sense.

2. "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - This talks about a reproduction or duplicate of something. In the genetic context, the two copies of genes are indeed similar/identical versions of the same gene. This seems to fit.

3. "matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials" - This is about content for printing/publishing. Not relevant.

4. "material suitable for a journalistic account" - This is about journalistic content. Not relevant.

The correct sense is 2. The two copies of genes are indeed things that are similar or identical to one another (one from each parent), though they may have slight variations. But the definition states "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" which fits the usage here where we have two versions of the same gene.

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

Sentence: Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each <t>parent</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian
2. definition=an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each <t>parent</t>."

The context is about genes being inherited. In biology, when we talk about genes being inherited from parents, we're talking about organisms that produce offspring. The sentence is saying that genes come from two organisms - one copy from each organism that is the source of the genetic material.

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian" - This is the human/familial sense of parent.

2. "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained" - This is the biological/biological reproduction sense of parent.

In this sentence, we're talking about genes being inherited from "parents" in a biological context. While the sentence could technically refer to a human mother and father, the definition that specifically fits the biological context of genes and inheritance is sense 2 - "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained."

However, I should reconsider. The sentence could be talking about human parents passing on genes. But sense 2 is more specifically about the biological relationship in terms of offspring reproduction, which is exactly what we're discussing - organisms that produce offspring and pass on genes.

The answer should be 2, as this is the biological sense of parent that refers to an organism as the source of genetic material for offspring.

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

Sentence: Either <t>copy</t> can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

Senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Either <t>copy</t> can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

The sentence is talking about genes (specifically, copies of a gene). In genetics, we talk about "copies" of genes - organisms have two copies of most genes (one from each parent).

So in this context, "copy" refers to a reproduction of something - specifically a gene or genetic sequence. The sentence says "either copy can make the proteins" - meaning either of the two copies of this gene can produce proteins.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)" - This is about legal/school records specifically. Not a good fit.

2. "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - This is about something made to be similar or identical to another thing. In genetics, we do have copies of genes that are similar/identical to each other. This seems like the best fit.

3. "matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials" - This is about printing/journalism. Not relevant here.

4. "material suitable for a journalistic account" - This is also about journalism. Not relevant here.

The answer is sense 2 - a copy is something made to be similar or identical to another thing, which is exactly what a gene copy is.

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

Sentence: Either copy can make the proteins <t>needed</t> to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

Senses:
1. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
2. definition=have need of | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner
3. definition=have or feel a need for | examples=always needing friends and money

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Either copy can make the proteins <t>needed</t> to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

The word "needed" here is used in the context of proteins that are required or necessary to control cell growth.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "require as useful, just, or proper" - This seems to fit. The proteins are needed/required for the purpose of controlling cell growth. The example "It takes nerve to do what she did" shows "nerve" being required or necessary.

2. "have need of" - This would mean the proteins themselves have a need, which doesn't make sense in context.

3. "have or feel a need for" - This would suggest someone needs the proteins, but the structure here is "proteins needed to control" which is more about the proteins being required/necessary for the function.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate. The proteins are required as necessary/useful for controlling cell growth. The definition "require as useful, just, or proper" fits the meaning that the proteins are necessary/required for the function of controlling cell growth.


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

Sentence: Either copy can make the proteins needed to <t>control</t> cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

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: "Either copy can make the proteins needed to <t>control</t> cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

In this context, "control" means to regulate or manage the growth of cells. The proteins are needed to regulate/manage/keep in check the cell growth.

Let me look at each definition:

1. "exercise authoritative control or power over" - This could fit, but it's more about exercising power/authority.

2. "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits" - This seems to fit well. The proteins control (regulate, keep within limits) cell growth. They prevent excessive growth.

3. "handle and cause to function" - This doesn't fit. We're not just making it function.

4. "manipulate skillfully" - Doesn't fit in this biological context.

5. "check or regulate a scientific experiment" - Not about experimental controls.

6. "verify by using a duplicate register" - Doesn't fit.

7. "be careful or certain to do something" - Doesn't fit.

8. "have a firm understanding or knowledge of" - Doesn't fit.

The best fit is definition 2: "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits". The proteins keep cell growth within limits/regulate it.

Actually, definition 1 could also work - "exercise authoritative control or power over" - meaning the proteins exert control over cell growth. But definition 2 seems more accurate given the biological context where we're talking about regulating/limiting cell growth rather than exercising authority.

I think the answer is 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Either copy can make the proteins needed to control <t>cell</t> growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

The context is about biology - discussing proteins, cell growth, and cancer. This is clearly referring to the biological unit that is the basic structural and functional unit of organisms.

Looking at the senses:
1. Small compartment (like honeycomb) - not biological
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - THIS IS IT
3. A device that delivers electric current - no
4. A small unit serving as part of a political movement - no
5. A mobile radiotelephone - no
6. A small room where a monk or nun lives - no
7. A room where a prisoner is kept - no

The answer is clearly sense 2, as the sentence is discussing cell growth in the context of cancer, which is a biological context.

Sentence: Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell <t>growth</t>, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

Senses:
1. definition=(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 | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children
2. definition=a progression from simpler to more complex forms | examples=the growth of culture
3. definition=a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important | examples=the increase in unemployment
4. definition=vegetation that has grown | examples=a growth of trees
5. definition=the gradual beginning or coming forth | examples=figurines presage the emergence of sculpture in Greece
6. definition=(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)
7. definition=something grown or growing | examples=a growth of hair

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell <t>growth</t>, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

This sentence is talking about cell growth in a biological context. The sentence is discussing how proteins are needed to control cell growth, and how cancer can arise when both copies (of presumably a tumor suppressor gene) are impaired.

Let me look at 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 process of growth at the organism level.

2. "a progression from simpler to more complex forms" - This is about progression to complexity.

3. "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - This could apply to cell growth becoming larger/more numerous.

4. "vegetation that has grown" - This doesn't apply, it's about plants.

5. "the gradual beginning or coming forth" - This doesn't fit the context.

6. "(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)" - This is about abnormal growth like tumors.

7. "something grown or growing" - This is too vague.

In the context of the sentence, we're talking about cell growth that needs to be controlled. When both copies of a gene are impaired, cancer (tumors/abnormal growth) can arise.

The most appropriate sense is #1, which specifically mentions "the process of an individual organism growing organically" and is the biological process of growth. Cell growth is the biological process of cells becoming larger and dividing.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 1 is about "an individual organism growing organically" - this is about the whole organism. But we're talking about cell growth here.

Sense 3 "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" - cells grow by becoming more numerous (dividing). This could fit.
Sense 1 stands out because it's explicitly marked as a biological process, and while the definition references an organism, cells themselves are biological entities undergoing this same organic growth process. The answer is 1.
