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

Sentence: The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, <t>normal</t> copy also was damaged.

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:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, <t>normal</t> copy also was damaged."

In this context, the word "normal" is describing a copy (likely of a gene). The sentence is contrasting this "normal" copy with one that was already damaged. The meaning here is that this is a copy that is functioning properly, in its standard or expected state - not defective or abnormal in the biological/medical sense.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal" - This fits. The "normal" copy means it conforms to the expected standard state (undamaged, functioning properly), as opposed to the damaged copy. This is about not being abnormal.

2. "in accordance with scientific laws" - This doesn't really fit the context.

3. "being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development" - This is about being within typical ranges for development, which could relate but doesn't fit as well as sense 1.

4. "forming a right angle" - This is clearly not about geometry in this context.

The most appropriate sense is 1, which captures the meaning of "normal" as in "not abnormal" or "conforming to standard/expected state" - which is exactly what "normal copy" means in the genetic/biological context - a properly functioning copy as opposed to the damaged one.

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

Sentence: The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal <t>copy</t> also was damaged.

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

Let me analyze the sentence: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal <t>copy</t> also was damaged."

This sentence is discussing genes and genetic damage. In the context of genetics, when we talk about "copies" of genes, we're referring to the second copy of a gene (since we typically have two copies of most genes - one from each parent).

Looking at the senses:
1. A reproduction of a written record - No, this is about official/legal documents
2. A thing made to be similar or identical to another thing - This seems to fit. A gene copy is a duplicate/replica of the original gene
3. Matter to be printed - No, this is about printing/journalistic content
4. Material suitable for a journalistic account - No, this is about news stories

The word "copy" in this genetic context refers to one of the identical or similar replicas of a gene. This matches sense 2, which defines it as "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - a gene copy is one of the duplicate versions of a gene.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was <t>damaged</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=harmed or injured or spoiled | examples=I won't buy damaged goods
2. definition=being unjustly brought into disrepute | examples=a discredited politician

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

Sentence: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged."

In this context, we're talking about a tumor developing when a normal copy (presumably of a gene) was "damaged." This is about biological/physical harm to genetic material.

Sense 1: "harmed or injured or spoiled" - This fits the biological context. A gene or DNA copy being damaged means it was harmed or injured at the molecular level.

Sense 2: "being unjustly brought into disrepute" - This refers to reputation or credibility being harmed. This doesn't fit the medical/biological context of the sentence at all.

The correct sense is clearly 1, as it refers to physical harm/injury to the genetic material.

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

Sentence: But there was no <t>way</t> to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory.

Senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control
3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction
4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is
5. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue
6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out
7. definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way
8. definition=space for movement | examples=room to pass
9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow
10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way
11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing
12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But there was no <t>way</t> to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

In this sentence, "way" is being used to mean "a method" or "a means of doing something" - specifically, "there was no method/means to prove the theory."

Let me check each definition:

1. "how something is done or how it happens" - This could work, meaning "there was no manner in which to prove..."
2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - This is about means to achieve an end
3. "a line leading to a place or point" - No, this is about physical direction
4. "the condition of things generally" - No, this doesn't fit
5. "a course of conduct" - Possibly, but not quite the right fit
6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - No, this is physical
7. "a journey or passage" - No
8. "space for movement" - No
9. "the property of distance in general" - No
10. "doing as one pleases or chooses" - No
11. "a general category of things" - No
12. "a portion of something divided into shares" - No

Between 1 and 2, sense 2 "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control" fits best. The sentence is asking about the means/method to achieve proving the theory.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 is "how something is done or how it happens" which is very close. But sense 2 specifically emphasizes "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" which directly matches the context of trying to achieve/obtain proof of the theory.

I think the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: But there was no way to <t>prove</t> Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory.

Senses:
1. definition=be shown or be found to be | examples=She proved to be right
2. definition=establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment | examples=The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound
3. definition=provide evidence for | examples=The blood test showed that he was the father
4. definition=prove formally; demonstrate by a mathematical, formal proof
5. definition=put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to | examples=This approach has been tried with good results
6. definition=increase in volume | examples=the dough rose slowly in the warm room
7. definition=cause to puff up with a leaven | examples=unleavened bread
8. definition=take a trial impression of
9. definition=obtain probate of | examples=prove a will

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

The sentence is saying that it was not possible to establish whether the "two-hit" theory was valid or true. This is about demonstrating or establishing the validity or truth of something through evidence, explanation, or argument.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "be shown or be found to be" - This means to turn out to be. Not the right sense here.

2. "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" - This fits well. The sentence is about whether they could establish/demonstrate the validity of the theory.

3. "provide evidence for" - This is similar to sense 2, but slightly different. This is more about showing evidence that something is true.

4. "prove formally; demonstrate by a mathematical, formal proof" - This is very specific to mathematical proofs. The context doesn't suggest a mathematical proof.

5. "put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to" - This could fit if they mean testing the theory, but the language doesn't quite match.

6. "increase in volume" - Not relevant.

7. "cause to puff up with a leaven" - Not relevant.

8. "take a trial impression of" - Not relevant.

9. "obtain probate of" - Not relevant.

Between senses 2 and 3, sense 2 seems to be the best fit because it explicitly mentions "establish the validity" and includes examples of explanation or experiment, which aligns with how scientific theories are proven or disproven. The sentence is about establishing whether the theory is valid/true.

Actually, looking more carefully: sense 2 says "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" and sense 3 says "provide evidence for". In the context "there was no way to prove the theory" - they couldn't establish that the theory was valid or true.

Sense 2 is the answer because it directly captures the idea of establishing validity through scientific means like experiments and explanations, which matches the biological context of the two-hit theory.

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

Sentence: But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "<t>theory</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena | examples=theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses
2. definition=a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena | examples=a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory
3. definition=a belief that can guide behavior | examples=the architect has a theory that more is less

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

The key phrase is "there was no way to prove." This suggests that the theory hasn't been proven yet - it's something that still needs verification.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a well-substantiated explanation" - This refers to an explanation that is already well-substantiated and accepted. But the sentence says there was "no way to prove" it, which suggests it's not yet proven or well-substantiated. This doesn't fit well.

2. "a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena" - This definition emphasizes something that is "not yet verified." The sentence talks about there being no way to prove the theory, which aligns with something that is tentative and not yet verified. This fits well.

3. "a belief that can guide behavior" - This is too vague and doesn't seem to fit the context of a scientific theory about a medical condition (Dr. Knudson's two-hit hypothesis).

The most appropriate sense is #2, which emphasizes the tentative nature of the theory and the fact that it hasn't been verified/proven yet.

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

Sentence: <t>Back</t> then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=in or to or toward a former location | examples=she went back to her parents' house
2. definition=at or to or toward the back or rear | examples=he moved back
3. definition=in or to or toward an original condition | examples=he went back to sleep
4. definition=in or to or toward a past time | examples=set the clocks back an hour
5. definition=in reply | examples=he wrote back three days later
6. definition=in repayment or retaliation | examples=we paid back everything we had borrowed

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes..."

The phrase "back then" refers to a time in the past. The word "back" here is being used to refer to a past time period.

Let me check each sense:

1. "in or to or toward a former location" - No, it's not about a location
2. "at or to or toward the back or rear" - No, it's not about physical direction
3. "in or to or toward an original condition" - No, it's not about returning to a condition
4. "in or to or toward a past time" - Yes! "Back then" means "in that past time"
5. "in reply" - No, it's not about replying
6. "in repayment or retaliation" - No, it's not about repayment or retaliation

The correct answer is sense 4.

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

Sentence: Back <t>then</t>, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | examples=then he left
2. definition=in that case or as a consequence | examples=if he didn't take it, then who did?
3. definition=at that time | examples=I was young then

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Back <t>then</t>, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

The word "then" is used with "back" - "back then" - which is a common phrase meaning "at that time" or "in the past."

Let me check each sense:

1. "subsequently or soon afterward" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't saying that something happened and then something else happened after it. It's referring to a specific time in the past.

2. "in that case or as a consequence" - This doesn't fit either. There's no conditional or consequence being expressed.

3. "at that time" - This fits perfectly. "Back then" means "at that time" in the past when scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes.

The answer is 3.

The phrase "had no way of ferreting out" means the scientists had no means or method to achieve the result of identifying specific genes. This matches sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Back then, scientists had no <t>way</t> of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

The phrase is "no way of ferreting out specific genes" - this is asking about the "way of" doing something. They had no way of (method/means of) ferreting out genes.

Looking at the senses:
1. "how something is done or how it happens" - This is about the manner or method
2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - This is about the means to achieve something
3. "a line leading to a place or point" - physical direction
4. "the condition of things generally" - state of things
5. "a course of conduct" - a path of behavior
6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - physical path/road
7. "a journey or passage" - travel
8. "space for movement" - room to move
9. "the property of distance" - distance
10. "doing as one pleases" - personal choice
11. "a general category of things" - category in the expression "in the way of"
12. "a portion divided into shares" - splitting something

The key phrase is "had no way of ferreting out" - this means they had no means/method of doing it. This is clearly about how to achieve something or obtain a result.

Sense 2 says "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with the example "a means of control" - this fits perfectly. The sentence is saying they had no means/method of ferreting out genes.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 1 and 2:
- Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" with example "her dignified manner"
- Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with example "a means of control"

The distinction matters here. Sense 2 emphasizes the means to accomplish an objective, which aligns better with "way of ferreting out." Scientists lacked the method needed to achieve the goal of isolating genes.

The answer is 2.

The phrase "had no way of ferreting out" means the scientists had no means or method to achieve the result of identifying specific genes. This matches sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved."

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 12. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider the sentence: "Back then, scientists had no <t>way</t> of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

The phrase "had no way of ferreting out" - what does "way" mean here?

Let me look at the senses again:
1. how something is done or how it happens
2. how a result is obtained or an end is achieved
3. a line leading to a place or point
4. the condition of things generally
5. a course of conduct
6. any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another
7. a journey or passage
8. space for movement
9. the property of distance in general
10. doing as one pleases or chooses
11. a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of'
12. a portion of something divided into shares

"Had no way of ferreting out" - this is expressing that there was no method or manner available to do something.

Sense 1 is "how something is done or how it happens" - this seems very close. "Had no way" could mean "had no manner" of doing something.

Sense 2 is "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - this also seems relevant.

Actually, I think the answer might be 1. "How something is done or how it happens" - the "way" refers to the manner or method of ferreting out genes.

Let me think about the difference between 1 and 2. Sense 1 emphasizes HOW something happens, while sense 2 emphasizes how a RESULT or END is achieved. Both could apply, but I think 1 is more direct - "way of doing something" = manner/method = sense 1.

I'll go with 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could <t>see</t> the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

In this context, "see" means to perceive or observe something with the eyes. The scientists are using a microscope to visually observe the chromosomes. They are literally looking at and perceiving the chromosomes through the microscope.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - This fits! Scientists are using a microscope to perceive/observe the chromosomes by sight.

2. "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" - No, this is about mental perception of abstract concepts.

3. "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - No, not about being contemporary.

4. "imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind" - No, they're actually looking at them, not imagining.

5. "deem to be" - No.

6. "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - No, they're deliberately observing.

7. "see or watch" - This could work, but it's basically the same as #1.

The best fit is sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" with the example "You have to be a good observer to see all the details" - which is exactly what scientists are doing when observing chromosomes under a microscope.

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

Sentence: Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 <t>pairs</t> of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=a set of two similar things considered as a unit
2. definition=two items of the same kind
3. definition=two people considered as a unit
4. definition=a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value

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

The sentence: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 <t>pairs</t> of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

The context is about chromosomes, which are biological structures. The 23 pairs of chromosomes refers to the basic structure of human chromosomes - humans have 23 pairs (46 total chromosomes).

Let me look at each definition:

1. "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" - This would fit because pairs of chromosomes are two chromosomes that are similar (homologous pairs) considered as a unit.

2. "two items of the same kind" - This is more basic and describes just "two items" without necessarily emphasizing they're "considered as a unit."

3. "two people considered as a unit" - This doesn't fit because chromosomes are not people.

4. "a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value" - This doesn't fit because this is about chromosomes, not poker.

The best fit is sense 1: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" because:
- Pairs of chromosomes are two similar things (homologous chromosome pairs)
- They are being considered as a unit (the "23 pairs" refers to the organized collection)

The answer is 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: Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the <t>cells</t> that contain the genes.

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: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the <t>cells</t> that contain the genes."

The sentence is clearly talking about cells in a biological context - specifically human cells that contain chromosomes and genes. Scientists are looking at these under a microscope.

Looking at the senses:
1. Small compartment (like honeycomb) - No, this is not what's meant
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - YES, this is what's meant. The sentence explicitly mentions looking at cells under a microscope that contain chromosomes and genes.
3. A device that delivers electric current - No
4. A small unit of a political movement - No
5. A mobile radiotelephone - No
6. A room where a monk/nun lives - No
7. A room where a prisoner is kept - No

The answer is clearly sense 2, which is the biological definition of cell.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes."

The word "contain" is being used to mean that the cells have genes within them. The cells possess or hold the genes.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "include or contain; have as a component" - This could work, as genes are components of cells
2. "contain or hold; have within" - This seems to fit well. The cells hold/have the genes within them
3. "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint" - This doesn't fit the context
4. "be divisible by" - This is a mathematical sense, doesn't apply here
5. "be capable of holding or containing" - This is more about capacity
6. "hold back, as of a danger or an enemy; check the expansion or influence of" - This doesn't fit

Looking at the definitions more carefully:
- Sense 1: "include or contain; have as a component"
- Sense 2: "contain or hold; have within"

Both 1 and 2 seem to fit, but sense 2 explicitly says "contain or hold; have within" which directly matches the meaning in the sentence. The cells contain (hold within) the genes.

Sense 1 talks about "comprised in" which suggests inclusion as a component.

I think sense 2 is the best answer - "contain or hold; have within" is the most direct match for this usage.

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

Sentence: Occasionally, <t>gross</t> chromosome damage was visible.

Senses:
1. definition=before any deductions | examples=gross income
2. definition=lacking fine distinctions or detail | examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable
3. definition=repellently fat | examples=a bald porcine old man
4. definition=visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)
5. definition=without qualification; used informally as (often pejorative) intensifiers | examples=an arrant fool
6. definition=conspicuously and tastelessly indecent | examples=coarse language
7. definition=conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible | examples=a crying shame

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

The key phrase is "gross chromosome damage" and the context emphasizes that it "was visible."

Let me go through each sense:

1. "before any deductions" - This is financial terminology (gross income). Doesn't fit.

2. "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - This means roughly or broadly, not with fine detail. This could potentially fit, but let me check others.

3. "repellently fat" - Doesn't fit the context at all.

4. "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)" - This makes sense! Gross chromosome damage that is visible suggests damage that can be seen without magnification or in general/obvious terms. This fits very well with the context.

5. "without qualification; used informally as (often pejorative) intensifiers" - This would be like "that's gross!" meaning very bad. Doesn't fit the medical/scientific context well.

6. "conspicuously and tastelessly indecent" - Doesn't fit.

7. "conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible" - Could mean the damage is very bad, but doesn't fit the scientific context as well as #4.

The best fit is sense 4: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)" because the sentence is describing chromosome damage that is visible/observable, which is exactly what "gross" means in scientific/anatomical contexts - damage that can be seen or observed grossly (at a large/general level without magnification).

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

Sentence: Occasionally, gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible.

Senses:
1. definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse
2. definition=loss of military equipment
3. definition=the act of damaging something or someone
4. definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | examples=the price of gasoline
5. definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

The context here is about chromosomes, which is a biological/genetic context. The "damage" refers to harm or injury that has occurred to chromosomes. We can see the damage (it's visible), suggesting it's about the result/effect of something harmful happening.

Let me go through the senses:

1. "the occurrence of a change for the worse" - This could fit, as chromosome damage is a change for the worse
2. "loss of military equipment" - This doesn't fit the context at all
3. "the act of damaging something or someone" - This refers to the action/process of damaging, not the result
4. "the amount of money needed to purchase something" - This is about price, doesn't fit
5. "any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right" - This is about harm/injury, but specifically from a legal violation

The sentence is talking about visible harm or injury to chromosomes. Sense 1 seems to be about "the occurrence of a change for the worse" which is a general definition that could apply here. Sense 5 is about "harm or injury" but it's specifically about violations of legal rights, which doesn't apply here.

I think sense 1 is the best fit - it's describing a negative change that has occurred (chromosome damage that is visible).

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

Sentence: Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was <t>visible</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=capable of being seen; or open to easy view | examples=a visible object
2. definition=obvious to the eye | examples=a visible change of expression
3. definition=present and easily available | examples=the cash on hand is adequate for current needs

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

The word "visible" here is describing whether gross chromosome damage could be seen or perceived.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "capable of being seen; or open to easy view" - This fits because the chromosome damage is something that can be perceived/seen under a microscope. The damage is open to view.

2. "obvious to the eye" - This could also fit because it's suggesting the damage is noticeable/obvious when observed.

3. "present and easily available" - This doesn't fit well. The sentence isn't about availability of the damage, but about whether it can be seen.

The key difference between sense 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 is more about the capability of being seen (objective property)
- Sense 2 is more about being obvious to observation (subjective, what's apparent to the observer)

In the context "gross chromosome damage was visible," the sentence is stating that the damage could be observed/seen. Given that they specify "gross" (meaning large/obvious) damage, sense 2 "obvious to the eye" seems more appropriate - it's not just that the damage CAN be seen, but that it IS obviously seen.

However, sense 1 is also very reasonable - the damage is "capable of being seen."

Looking more carefully at the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "a visible object" - something that can be seen
- Sense 2 example: "a visible change of expression" - a noticeable/obvious change

The phrase "gross chromosome damage was visible" is more similar to "a visible change" - describing something that was observed as obvious/noticeable.

I think sense 2 is the better answer here.

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?

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

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: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

In this sentence, Dr. Knudson is discovering or determining something through investigation/research. He conducted research and determined/discovered that certain children had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "come upon, as if by accident; meet with" - This doesn't fit because this was likely through deliberate research/investigation, not accident.

2. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This could fit, but the example "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water" suggests detecting something through measurement.

3. "come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost" - This doesn't fit well.

4. "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - This fits! Dr. Knudson established through investigation that children had inherited a damaged chromosome.

9. "make a discovery" with example "She found that he had lied to her" - This also fits! The structure is very similar.

Both 4 and 9 seem to fit, but looking more closely:
- Sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study"
- Sense 9: "make a discovery"

The sentence says "found that" which is establishing a fact through research. Sense 4 specifically mentions "investigation, experiment, survey, or study" which fits Dr. Knudson's scientific work perfectly.

Sense 9's example "She found that he had lied to her" uses the same "found that" construction, making it also very fitting.

However, sense 4 is more specifically about establishing something after investigation/study, which is what a medical researcher does. Sense 9 is more general "make a discovery."
Sense 4 best captures the meaning here because it directly references the investigative and experimental process underlying the discovery, which aligns with how Dr. Knudson's research was conducted.

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

Sentence: Dr. Knudson found that some <t>children</t> with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

Senses:
1. definition=a young person of either sex | examples=she writes books for children
2. definition=a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age | examples=they had three children
3. definition=an immature childish person | examples=he remained a child in practical matters as long as he lived
4. definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel

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

"Dr. Knudson found that some <t>children</t> with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

The context is about children with eye cancer (retinoblastoma) who inherited a genetic condition from a parent. This is a medical/scientific context discussing young patients who have inherited a disease from their parents.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a young person of either sex" - This could fit, as the text is discussing young patients with eye cancer.

2. "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" - This could also fit since they are offspring who inherited the condition from a parent.

3. "an immature childish person" - This doesn't fit the medical context.

4. "a member of a clan or tribe" - This doesn't fit at all.

The key distinguishing factor between 1 and 2 is that sense 1 emphasizes "young" people, while sense 2 says "of any age."

In a medical context discussing eye cancer (retinoblastoma), the children mentioned would be relatively young children, as retinoblastoma typically manifests in very young children. However, the fact that they "inherited" this from a parent suggests we're talking about biological offspring.

Looking at the example for sense 2: "they had three children" - this is about offspring relationship.
Looking at the example for sense 1: "she writes books for children" - this is about young people.

Given the context that these are patients with eye cancer who inherited the condition from a parent, sense 2 (human offspring) seems more appropriate, as the emphasis is on the parent-child relationship and inheritance, not simply on age.

Actually, on reflection, in medical literature about retinoblastoma, children with this disease are typically young (often diagnosed before age 5), so sense 1 "a young person" could also be very appropriate.
The biological relationship and inheritance pattern initially suggested sense 2, but the medical focus on the specific age group affected by retinoblastoma points more directly to sense 1. Since the disease predominantly strikes young children, that age-specific meaning is what's most salient here.

Sentence: Dr. Knudson found that some children with the <t>eye</t> cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

Senses:
1. definition=the organ of sight
2. definition=good discernment (either visually or as if visually) | examples=she has an eye for fresh talent
3. definition=attention to what is seen | examples=he tried to catch her eye
4. definition=an area that is approximately central within some larger region | examples=it is in the center of town
5. definition=a small hole or loop (as in a needle) | examples=the thread wouldn't go through the eye

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the <t>eye</t> cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

The sentence is talking about "eye cancer" - this is referring to cancer that affects the eye organ, which is the organ of sight.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the organ of sight" - This would fit "eye cancer" as cancer of the organ of sight
2. "good discernment (either visually or as if visually)" - This doesn't fit with cancer
3. "attention to what is seen" - This doesn't fit with cancer
4. "an area that is approximately central within some larger region" - This doesn't fit with cancer
5. "a small hole or loop (as in a needle)" - This doesn't fit with cancer

The answer is sense 1 - "the organ of sight" because the sentence is referring to cancer of the eye organ.

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

reasoning_content:
Looking at the sentence: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye <t>cancer</t> had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

The context is:
- A medical/scientific context (Dr. Knudson, chromosome, inherited disease)
- Talking about children with "eye cancer"
- Referring to it as a disease that can be inherited

This is clearly referring to a malignant growth or tumor - a medical condition. The other senses refer to:
- Sense 2: astrology/person born under a zodiac sign
- Sense 3: constellation
- Sense 4: zodiac sign
- Sense 5: genus of crabs

Only sense 1 fits: "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"

The answer is 1.

Sentence: Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had <t>inherited</t> a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

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

The sentence is: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

The key phrase is "inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent."

Let me check each sense:

1. "obtain from someone after their death" - This refers to inheriting property or possessions after someone dies. In the sentence, there's no indication that the parent is dead, and we're not talking about property. This doesn't fit.

2. "receive from a predecessor" - This refers to receiving something (usually problems, responsibilities, or roles) from a predecessor in a position. This is about professional or organizational succession, not genetic transmission. This doesn't fit.

3. "receive by genetic transmission" - This refers to receiving traits or characteristics through genes passed from parents. The sentence explicitly mentions inheriting a "damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent," which is about genetic transmission. This fits perfectly.

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a <t>damaged</t> copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

Senses:
1. definition=harmed or injured or spoiled | examples=I won't buy damaged goods
2. definition=being unjustly brought into disrepute | examples=a discredited politician

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

"Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a <t>damaged</t> copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

In this context, "damaged" is describing a chromosome copy. The chromosome is "damaged" in the sense that it is defective or not functioning properly - it's associated with inheriting cancer predisposition from a parent who had the disease.

Looking at the two senses:

1. "harmed or injured or spoiled" - This refers to something being physically or functionally impaired or damaged. The example "I won't buy damaged goods" shows physical damage/harm.

2. "being unjustly brought into disrepute" - This refers to a person's reputation being harmed, not physical damage.

In the sentence, the chromosome is being described as defective or impaired - it's not functioning properly because it carries a genetic mutation. This is clearly about something being "harmed or injured" in a functional or structural sense.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

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

Sentence: Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged <t>copy</t> of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

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: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged <t>copy</t> of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

In this context, "copy" refers to a reproduction or duplicate of a chromosome. The children inherited a copy of chromosome No. 13, meaning they inherited a duplicate/replica of that chromosome from their parent.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)" - This is about documents, not chromosomes.

2. "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress" - This is about making a reproduction or duplicate of something to be similar or identical to another. This fits perfectly with the biological context - a copy of a chromosome is a duplicate of that chromosome.

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

4. "material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy" - This is about journalism/writing, not relevant here.

The correct answer is sense 2, as it describes something that is a reproduction/duplicate of another thing, which is exactly what a chromosome copy is.

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

Sentence: Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a <t>parent</t> who had had the disease.

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

The sentence reads: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a <t>parent</t> who had had the disease."

In this context, the parent is described as someone from whom children inherited a damaged chromosome. The parent "had had the disease" (referring to the eye cancer).

Let me consider 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 referring to a human parent in the traditional sense.

2. "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained" - This is a more biological/scientific definition that could apply to any organism.

In the context of this medical/genetic sentence, while the biological sense #2 could technically apply, the sentence is clearly referring to a human parent (father or mother) who had the disease and passed it on to their children. The mention of "who had had the disease" and the context of children inheriting from a parent points to sense #1, which specifically refers to a father or mother who begets or gives birth to a child.

The answer is 1.

The word "actually" is used to imply that one would expect the opposite—that without a microscope one might not expect to be able to see such a small detail, but surprisingly (with the microscope), he actually could see it.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

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

Let me examine each sense:

1. "in actual fact" - This would mean that in reality/in fact, he could see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. This seems plausible, but let me check the others.

2. "used to imply that one would expect the fact to be the opposite of that stated; surprisingly" - This would suggest that we might expect he wouldn't be able to see it, but surprisingly he could. Looking at the sentence, the microscope makes it possible to see something that wouldn't normally be visible, so there is a sense of "surprisingly" or contrary to expectation.

3. "at the present moment" - This doesn't seem to fit. The sentence isn't about what's happening right now.

4. "as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis" - This could work as an emphasis modifier, but it doesn't seem to be the primary meaning here.

Looking more carefully at sense 2: The example is "you may actually be doing the right thing by walking out" - where we might expect walking out to be wrong, but actually you're doing the right thing (surprising/contrary to expectation).

In the target sentence: Without the microscope, he wouldn't be able to see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. But with the microscope, he can actually see it. This suggests a contrary-to-expectation or surprising quality - you might not expect such small details to be visible, but with a microscope, he actually can see it.

I think sense 2 is the best fit here, as it conveys the idea that contrary to what one might expect (without a microscope, you couldn't see this detail), he actually can see it (with a microscope).

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 4. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider the sentence: "Under a microscope he could <t>actually</t> see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

Let me go through each sense:

1. "in actual fact" - This means really, in truth. "Under a microscope he could really see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing." This makes sense - it's saying that he could genuinely/truly see it.

2. "used to imply that one would expect the fact to be the opposite of that stated; surprisingly" - This would suggest that without the microscope, one might not expect to be able to see it, but surprisingly with the microscope, he can. This could work.

3. "at the present moment" - This doesn't fit well here. The sentence is not about what is currently happening versus what happened before.

4. "as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis" - This would be like saying "actually, he could see..." This could work too, adding emphasis.

Looking more carefully at sense 1: "in actual fact" with the example "to be nominally but not actually independent" - this is about something being true in reality versus appearance or claim. In the sentence, it's saying that in actual fact (truly, really), he could see the missing chromosome bit when using the microscope. This fits sense 1.

Sense 2 seems to be about contradiction or surprise. But the sentence isn't really saying something surprising or contrary to expectation in that way.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate - it's using "actually" to mean "in actual fact" or "really" - he could truly/really see the missing chromosome bit.

I'll go with 1.

The sentence is: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

Let me analyze what "see" means in this context. The person is looking through a microscope and observing a chromosome. They can perceive that a bit is missing.

This is about perceiving something visually through the microscope - they can actually perceive by sight that something is missing. This matches sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" with the example "You have to be a good observer to see all the details."

The person is using their visual perception (through a microscope) to detect/perceive the missing chromosome. This is the most straightforward interpretation - they can physically see/perceive with their eyes (aided by a microscope) that part of the chromosome is absent.

So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Under a microscope he could actually see that a <t>bit</t> of chromosome 13 was missing.

Senses:
1. definition=a small piece or quantity of something | examples=a spot of tea
2. definition=a small fragment of something broken off from the whole | examples=a bit of rock caught him in the eye
3. definition=an indefinitely short time | examples=wait just a moment
4. definition=an instance of some kind | examples=it was a nice piece of work
5. definition=piece of metal held in horse's mouth by reins and used to control the horse while riding | examples=the horse was not accustomed to a bit
6. definition=a unit of measurement of information (from binary + digit); the amount of information in a system having two equiprobable states | examples=there are 8 bits in a byte
7. definition=a small amount of solid food; a mouthful | examples=all they had left was a bit of bread
8. definition=a small fragment | examples=overheard snatches of their conversation
9. definition=a short theatrical performance that is part of a longer program | examples=he did his act three times every evening
10. definition=the part of a key that enters a lock and lifts the tumblers
11. definition=the cutting part of a drill; usually pointed and threaded and is replaceable in a brace or bitstock or drill press | examples=he looked around for the right size bit

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

In this context, "bit" refers to a small piece or fragment of chromosome that was missing. The speaker is talking about a small piece of a chromosome that is broken off or missing from the whole.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "a small piece or quantity of something" - This fits. A "bit of chromosome" is a small piece of chromosome.

2. "a small fragment of something broken off from the whole" - This also fits. The chromosome fragment was missing, suggesting it broke off from the whole.

3. "an indefinitely short time" - No, not related to time here.

4. "an instance of some kind" - No, this is not an instance of something, it's a piece.

5. Horse bit - No, clearly not relevant.

6. Unit of information - No, not relevant in this biological context.

7. "a small amount of solid food; a mouthful" - No, not food.

8. "a small fragment" - This also fits and is similar to sense 2.

9. Theatrical performance - No, not relevant.

10. Part of a key - No, not relevant.

11. Cutting part of a drill - No, not relevant.

The most precise fit would be sense 2 - "a small fragment of something broken off from the whole" because the chromosome bit is specifically a fragment (a piece that has broken off or is missing from the whole chromosome).

Sense 1 also works, but sense 2 is more specific to this situation where we're talking about a fragment that is missing from something larger.

I'll go with sense 2.

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

Sentence: He <t>assumed</t> the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=take to be the case or to be true; accept without verification or proof | examples=I assume his train was late
2. definition=take on titles, offices, duties, responsibilities | examples=When will the new President assume office?
3. definition=take on a certain form, attribute, or aspect | examples=His voice took on a sad tone
4. definition=take on as one's own the expenses or debts of another person | examples=I'll accept the charges

8. definition=take up someone's soul into heaven | examples=This is the day when May was assumed into heaven
9. definition=put clothing on one's body | examples=What should I wear today?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

In this context, the person is saying he "assumed" (believed or accepted without verification) that the missing piece contained certain genes. This is about taking something to be true without proof.

Let me check each sense:

1. "take to be the case or to be true; accept without verification or proof" - This matches! He accepted as true that the missing piece contained a gene without having verified it yet.

2. "take on titles, offices, duties, responsibilities" - No, not about taking on an office or duty.

3. "take on a certain form, attribute, or aspect" - No, not about taking on a form or aspect.

4. "take on as one's own the expenses or debts of another person" - No, not about debts or expenses.

5. "occupy or take on" - Too vague, but not the right sense.

6. "seize and take control without authority" - No, not about seizing control.

7. "make a pretence of" - No, he's not pretending or faking indifference.

8. "take up someone's soul into heaven" - No, religious context, doesn't apply.

9. "put clothing on one's body" - No, not about clothing.

The correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing <t>piece</t> contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=a separate part of a whole | examples=an important piece of the evidence
2. definition=an item that is an instance of some type | examples=he designed a new piece of equipment
3. definition=a portion of a natural object | examples=they analyzed the river into three parts
4. definition=a musical work that has been created | examples=the composition is written in four movements
5. definition=an instance of some kind | examples=it was a nice piece of work
6. definition=an artistic or literary composition | examples=he wrote an interesting piece on Iran
7. definition=a portable gun | examples=he wore his firearm in a shoulder holster
8. definition=a serving that has been cut from a larger portion | examples=a piece of pie
9. definition=a distance | examples=it is down the road a piece
10. definition=a work of art of some artistic value | examples=this store sells only objets d'art
11. definition=a period of indeterminate length (usually short) marked by some action or condition | examples=he was here for a little while
12. definition=a share of something | examples=a slice of the company's revenue
13. definition=game equipment consisting of an object used in playing certain board games | examples=he taught me to set up the men on the chess board

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

In this context, "piece" refers to a separate part of a whole - specifically, a part of DNA or genetic material that is missing. The piece is something that, when lost, affects the larger whole (the genome or genetic system).

Looking at the definitions:
1. "a separate part of a whole" - YES, this fits. The piece is a part of the genetic material/genome
2. "an item that is an instance of some type" - This could work but it's less specific
3. "a portion of a natural object" - This could potentially fit since genes are part of natural DNA
4. "a musical work" - No
5. "an instance of some kind" - Less likely
6. "an artistic or literary composition" - No
7. "a portable gun" - No
8. "a serving that has been cut from a larger portion" - No, not this
9. "a distance" - No
10. "a work of art" - No
11. "a period of time" - No
12. "a share of something" - No, not exactly
13. "game equipment" - No

The best fit is sense 1 - "a separate part of a whole" because the missing piece is a part of the complete genetic code/genome, and its loss affects the whole system and can trigger cancer.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing piece <t>contained</t> a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=include or contain; have as a component | examples=A totally new idea is comprised in this paper
2. definition=contain or hold; have within | examples=The jar carries wine
3. definition=lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits | examples=moderate your alcohol intake
4. definition=be divisible by | examples=24 contains 6
5. definition=be capable of holding or containing | examples=This box won't take all the items
6. definition=hold back, as of a danger or an enemy; check the expansion or influence of | examples=Arrest the downward trend

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece <t>contained</t> a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

In this context, "contained" means that the missing piece has a gene or genes within it. The piece includes or has as a component the gene(s).

Let me check each sense:

1. "include or contain; have as a component" - This fits. The missing piece has a gene or genes as a component within it.

2. "contain or hold; have within" - This also seems to fit, as it means to have something inside.

3. "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint" - This doesn't fit the context.

4. "be divisible by" - This is mathematical and doesn't fit.

5. "be capable of holding or containing" - This is about capacity, not quite the right sense.

6. "hold back, as of a danger or an enemy; check the expansion" - This doesn't fit.

The key distinction between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1: include or contain; have as a component
- Sense 2: contain or hold; have within

Both seem similar, but sense 1 emphasizes "have as a component" which is more specific to the idea that the gene is a constituent part of the piece. Sense 2 is more general about having something within.

In the context of biological/genetic material, "contained a gene" suggests that the gene is a component or part of the missing piece. This would be sense 1.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose <t>loss</t> had a critical role in setting off the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=something that is lost | examples=the car was a total loss
2. definition=gradual decline in amount or activity | examples=weight loss
3. definition=the act of losing someone or something | examples=everyone expected him to win so his loss was a shock
4. definition=the disadvantage that results from losing something | examples=his loss of credibility led to his resignation
5. definition=the experience of losing a loved one | examples=he sympathized on the loss of their grandfather
6. definition=the amount by which the cost of a business exceeds its revenue | examples=the company operated at a loss last year
7. definition=military personnel lost by death or capture
8. definition=euphemistic expressions for death | examples=thousands mourned his passing

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose <t>loss</t> had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

The context is about a missing piece that contained a gene or genes, and the "loss" of that gene had a critical role in cancer development. This is talking about the gene being lost or absent, which caused cancer.

Let me check each definition:

1. "something that is lost" - This could fit, but it's quite general
2. "gradual decline in amount or activity" - This could work - the loss of a gene could mean a decline in that gene
3. "the act of losing someone or something" - This is about the act itself
4. "the disadvantage that results from losing something" - This focuses on the disadvantage/consequence
5. "the experience of losing a loved one" - Not applicable here
6. "the amount by which cost exceeds revenue" - Not applicable
7. "military personnel lost" - Not applicable
8. "euphemistic expressions for death" - Not applicable

Looking at the context, the loss of the gene refers to its absence or the consequence of it being absent/lost, which had a critical role in cancer development. This seems most aligned with sense 4 - "the disadvantage that results from losing something" - because the loss of the gene is what causes the negative outcome (cancer development).

Actually, let me reconsider sense 2 - "gradual decline in amount or activity" - this could also fit if we think of the gene being lost as a decline.

But I think sense 4 is more accurate because the focus is on the consequence/disadvantage of losing the gene, which is its critical role in setting off cancer.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a <t>critical</t> role in setting off the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=marked by a tendency to find and call attention to errors and flaws | examples=a critical attitude
2. definition=at or of a point at which a property or phenomenon suffers an abrupt change especially having enough mass to sustain a chain reaction | examples=a critical temperature of water is 100 degrees C--its boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure
3. definition=characterized by careful evaluation and judgment | examples=a critical reading
4. definition=urgently needed; absolutely necessary | examples=a critical element of the plan
5. definition=forming or having the nature of a turning point or crisis | examples=a critical point in the campaign
6. definition=being in or verging on a state of crisis or emergency | examples=a critical shortage of food
7. definition=of or involving or characteristic of critics or criticism | examples=critical acclaim

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a <t>critical</t> role in setting off the cancer."

In this context, "critical" is describing the role that the loss of genes plays in causing cancer. The sentence is saying that this role is of extreme importance or necessity - the loss of the gene is essential/vital in setting off the cancer.

Let me check each sense:

1. "marked by a tendency to find and call attention to errors and flaws" - No, this is about being judgmental or fault-finding.

2. "at or of a point at which a property or phenomenon suffers an abrupt change" - No, this is about physics/chemistry (critical temperature, etc.)

3. "characterized by careful evaluation and judgment" - No, this is about analytical thinking.

4. "urgently needed; absolutely necessary" - This could fit - the role is absolutely necessary/vital.

5. "forming or having the nature of a turning point or crisis" - This could also fit - it's a crucial turning point.

6. "being in or verging on a state of crisis or emergency" - No, this doesn't fit the context.

7. "of or involving or characteristic of critics or criticism" - No, this is about criticism/critics.

Between 4 and 5, I think 4 is the best fit. The sentence is saying that the gene loss is necessary/essential to cancer development. Sense 4 "urgently needed; absolutely necessary" captures the essential nature of this role.

Actually, sense 5 "forming or having the nature of a turning point or crisis" could also work since it's a pivotal moment. But I think sense 4 is more precise - it's describing something that is absolutely necessary/essential to the process.

I'll go with 4.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical <t>role</t> in setting off the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | examples=the function of a teacher
2. definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
3. definition=what something is used for | examples=the function of an auger is to bore holes
4. definition=normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting | examples=what is your role on the team?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical <t>role</t> in setting off the cancer."

In this context, "role" is being used to describe what function or part the gene plays in causing cancer. It's describing the purpose or function of something (the gene's loss) in a process (setting off cancer).

Let me check each sense:

1. "the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | the function of a teacher" - This is about what a person is expected to do. Not quite right for genes.

2. "an actor's portrayal of someone in a play" - This is about acting, not relevant here.

3. "what something is used for | the function of an auger is to bore holes" - This is about the function or purpose of something. The gene's loss has a function in setting off cancer - this fits.

4. "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting" - This is about social roles, not relevant here.

The word "role" in the sentence is being used to describe the function or purpose that the gene's loss plays in the cancer process. This is closest to sense 3, which defines role as "what something is used for" with the example about the function of an auger.

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in <t>setting off</t> the cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=put in motion or move to act | examples=trigger a reaction
2. definition=leave | examples=The family took off for Florida
3. definition=direct attention to, as if by means of contrast | examples=This dress accentuates your nice figure!
4. definition=cause to burst with a violent release of energy | examples=We exploded the nuclear bomb
5. definition=make up for | examples=His skills offset his opponent's superior strength
6. definition=set in motion or cause to begin | examples=The guide set the tour off to a good start
7. definition=provoke or stir up | examples=incite a riot

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

In this context, "setting off" means to cause or trigger the cancer to begin or start. Let me look at each sense:

1. "put in motion or move to act | trigger a reaction" - This could fit, as setting off cancer means triggering it to start
2. "leave" - Doesn't fit
3. "direct attention to, as if by means of contrast" - Doesn't fit
4. "cause to burst with a violent release of energy" - Doesn't fit, this is too literal/physical
5. "make up for" - Doesn't fit
6. "set in motion or cause to begin | The guide set the tour off to a good start" - This fits well, as setting off cancer means causing it to begin
7. "provoke or stir up" - Could fit, but it's more about inciting a riot

Sense 6 is the most direct match: "set in motion or cause to begin" with an example "The guide set the tour off to a good start" - this is parallel to "setting off the cancer" meaning causing it to begin.

Sense 1 also could work with "trigger a reaction," but sense 6 is more specific to the "cause to begin" aspect of the sentence.

I think the answer is 6, as it most directly means "cause to begin," which is what "setting off the cancer" means in this context.

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

Sentence: He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the <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 to determine which sense of "cancer" is being used:

"He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

The sentence is discussing:
- A missing piece (genetic material)
- A gene or genes
- Their role in "setting off" cancer

The context is clearly biological/medical. The phrase "setting off the cancer" means causing or triggering cancer disease. This is talking about the disease itself - a 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 fits perfectly. The sentence is talking about genes that trigger this disease.
2. "a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer" - No, this doesn't fit the context
3. "a small zodiacal constellation" - No, this is about astronomy
4. "the fourth sign of the zodiac" - No, this is about astrology
5. "type genus of the family Cancridae" - No, this is about a genus of crustaceans

The correct sense is 1.

9. definition=know the nature or character of | examples=we all knew her as a big show-off
10. definition=be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | examples=The child knows right from wrong
11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared."

The person doesn't know which gene or genes had disappeared. This means they are not aware of or don't possess the knowledge/information about which specific gene or genes had disappeared.

Looking at the definitions:
1. "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" - This seems to match. The person doesn't have knowledge about which gene disappeared.
2. "know how to do or perform something" - Not this one, not about knowing how to do something
3. "be aware of the truth of something" - This could fit, but it's more about the fact/information
4. "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object" - Not about being acquainted with a person or object
5. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" - Not about firsthand experiences
6. "accept (someone) to be what is claimed" - Not applicable
7. "have fixed in the mind" - Could be similar to sense 1
8. "have sexual intercourse with" - Not applicable
9. "know the nature or character of" - Not about knowing the nature/character
10. "be able to distinguish, recognize as being different" - Not about distinguishing
11. "perceive as familiar" - Not about familiar perception

The best fit is sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" - he doesn't know (possess knowledge about) which genes had disappeared.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Then</t>, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer.

Senses:
1. definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | examples=then he left
2. definition=in that case or as a consequence | examples=if he didn't take it, then who did?
3. definition=at that time | examples=I was young then

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

"Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

There are actually two instances of "then" in this sentence:
1. The first "then" at the beginning (marked with <t></t>)
2. The second "then" in the phrase "then at the University of Utah"

The question asks about the "Then" marked with <t></t>, which is the first one at the beginning of the sentence.

Let me evaluate which sense applies:

1. "Subsequently or soon afterward" - This would mean that after something else happened, this scientific team found the answer. Looking at the context, it seems like the "Then" is indicating that at a certain point in time (following some prior events not explicitly mentioned in this excerpt), the team found the answer.

2. "In that case or as a consequence" - This would imply "if X, then Y" type logic.

3. "At that time" - This would mean at a particular moment in the past.

The first "then" appears to be functioning as a sentence connector, indicating that subsequently or soon afterward (in time sequence) the scientific team found the answer. This fits with sense 1 - "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)."

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Then, a <t>scientific</t> team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to the practice of science | examples=scientific journals
2. definition=conforming with the principles or methods used in science | examples=a scientific approach

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the usage of "scientific" in the sentence:

"Then, a <t>scientific</t> team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

The sentence uses "scientific team" to describe a team of scientists/researchers. It's describing the nature or type of team - specifically, a team engaged in scientific research/work.

Let me compare with the two senses:

1. "of or relating to the practice of science" - A scientific team would be a team related to/engaged in the practice of science. This fits this definition well.

2. "conforming with the principles or methods used in science" - This would mean the team operates according to scientific principles/methods. This could also potentially fit.

However, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 is more about the domain or field (relating to science)
- Sense 2 is about following scientific methodology/principles

"Scientific team" in this context means a team engaged in scientific research - so it's "of or relating to the practice of science." The team is characterized as scientific because it's doing science/engaged in scientific work, not necessarily because it's following scientific methodology (though that would be implied).

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Then, a scientific <t>team</t> led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer.

Senses:
1. definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

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

The sentence is: "Then, a scientific <t>team</t> led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

The context describes "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee." This is referring to a group of people working together on a scientific research project.

Let me look at the two senses:
1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This is a group of people working together cooperatively. While the example mentions sports, the definition itself is broader and refers to a cooperative unit in general.

2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This refers to animals like horses or oxen pulling something together.

In the sentence, we have a scientific team - a group of people (not animals) working together cooperatively. This fits sense 1, which is a cooperative unit. Even though sense 1 notes "(especially in sports)," the definition of "a cooperative unit" can apply to any group working together cooperatively, including a scientific team.

The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Then, a scientific team <t>led</t> by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

The key phrase is "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee"

In this context, "led" means that Webster Cavenee is in charge of or directing the scientific team. The team is under his leadership/direction.

Let me look at the senses:

1. take somebody somewhere - No
2. have as a result or residue - No
3. tend to or result in - No
4. travel in front of; go in advance of others - No, this is more physical
5. cause to undertake a certain action - Possibly, but not quite
6. stretch out over a distance - No
7. be in charge of - YES! This matches. "Led by" means "headed by" or "in charge of"
8. be ahead of others; be the first - Not quite
9. be conducive to - No
10. lead, as in the performance of a composition - No
11. lead, extend, or afford access - No
12. move ahead (of others) in time or space - No
13. cause something to pass or lead somewhere - No
14. preside over - This could work too, but 7 is more direct

Sense 7 "be in charge of" with example "Who is heading this project?" is the perfect match. "Led by Webster Cavenee" = "headed by Webster Cavenee" = "with Webster Cavenee in charge"

The answer is 7.
