Let me analyze the sentence: "In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells <t>taken</t> from lung cancer tissue they tested are missing this gene."

The word "taken" here is used in the passive voice. I need to understand what "taken" means in context. The cells are "taken from lung cancer tissue" - this means the cells were removed or extracted from the tissue.

Let me look through the definitions:

1. carry out - no
2. require time/space - no
3. take somebody somewhere - no
4. get into one's hands, take physically - this could work, but it's about physically obtaining something
5. take on a certain form - no
6. interpret - no
7. take with oneself - no
8. take into one's possession - this could work
9. travel by transportation - no
10. pick out, select - no
11. receive willingly - no
12. assume roles/positions - no
13. take for example - no
14. require as proper - no
15. experience or submit to - no
16. make a film/photo - no
17. remove something concrete or abstract - YES! This fits perfectly. "Removed" is essentially what "taken" means here. The cells are taken (removed) from the lung cancer tissue.
18. serve oneself to - no
19. accept/undergo - no
20. make use of - no
21. take by force - no
22. occupy or take on - no
23. admit into group - no
24. determine by measuring - no
25. be a student of - no
26. take as consequence - no
27. head into direction - no
28. point/cause to go - no
29. be seized/affected - no
30. have with oneself - no
31. engage for service - no
32. receive regularly - no
33. buy, select - no
34. get into position of - no
35. have sex - no
36. lay claim to - no
37. be designed to hold - no
38. capable of holding - no
39. develop habit - no
40. proceed along - no
41. obtain by winning - no
42. fall victim to illness - no

Definition 17 is the correct match. The sense of "remove something concrete or abstract" captures exactly what's happening—the cells were extracted from the tissue sample.

Looking at the sentence: "In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer <t>tissue</t> they tested are missing this gene."

The word "tissue" here refers to "lung cancer tissue" - they are talking about biological cells from a cancer. This is clearly referring to a part of an organism consisting of an aggregate of cells having a similar structure and function.

Sense 1: "part of an organism consisting of an aggregate of cells having a similar structure and function" - This matches. They're talking about tissue composed of cells from a lung cancer patient.

Sense 2: "a soft thin (usually translucent) paper" - This doesn't match. They're not talking about tissue paper.

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

Sentence: In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer tissue they <t>tested</t> are missing this gene.

Senses:
1. definition=put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to | examples=This approach has been tried with good results
2. definition=test or examine for the presence of disease or infection | examples=screen the blood for the HIV virus
3. definition=examine someone's knowledge of something | examples=The teacher tests us every week
4. definition=show a certain characteristic when tested | examples=He tested positive for HIV
5. definition=achieve a certain score or rating on a test | examples=She tested high on the LSAT and was admitted to all the good law schools
6. definition=determine the presence or properties of (a substance)
7. definition=undergo a test | examples=She doesn't test well

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer tissue they <t>tested</t> are missing this gene."

The context is about scientists testing cells from lung cancer tissue to determine if they have a certain gene or not. They are examining the cells to determine the presence or properties of something (in this case, a gene).

Let me look at each sense:

1. "put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to" - This could fit, as they are experimenting with cells.

2. "test or examine for the presence of disease or infection" - This is specific to disease/infection, but they're testing for a gene, not necessarily disease.

3. "examine someone's knowledge of something" - This is about testing people's knowledge, not applicable here.

4. "show a certain characteristic when tested" - This would be how the cells respond to testing, not the action of testing itself.

5. "achieve a certain score or rating on a test" - Not applicable.

6. "determine the presence or properties of (a substance)" - This fits well. They are determining the presence or properties of a gene in the cells.

7. "undergo a test" - This would be the cells undergoing a test, but the sentence says "they tested" (active voice), not "they were tested."

The most accurate answer is sense 6: "determine the presence or properties of (a substance)" - because the scientists are testing the cells to determine the presence or absence of a gene.

Sense 1 could also fit, but sense 6 is more specific and accurate given that they're determining whether a gene is present or not.

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

Sentence: In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer tissue they tested are <t>missing</t> this gene.

Senses:
1. definition=fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind | examples=I missed that remark
2. definition=feel or suffer from the lack of | examples=He misses his mother
3. definition=fail to attend an event or activity | examples=I missed the concert
4. definition=leave undone or leave out | examples=How could I miss that typo?
5. definition=fail to reach or get to | examples=She missed her train
6. definition=be without | examples=This soup lacks salt
7. definition=fail to reach | examples=The arrow missed the target
8. definition=be absent | examples=The child had been missing for a week
9. definition=fail to experience | examples=Fortunately, I missed the hurricane

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer tissue they tested are <t>missing</t> this gene."

The word "missing" here is being used to describe cells that don't have a gene. The cells are "missing this gene" means the cells don't have this gene, they lack this gene, or they are without this gene.

Let me look at the senses:
1. fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind - Not this one
2. feel or suffer from the lack of - Not this one
3. fail to attend an event or activity - Not this one
4. leave undone or leave out - Not this one
5. fail to reach or get to - Not this one
6. be without - This could fit! "Missing this gene" = "be without this gene"
7. fail to reach - Not this one
8. be absent - This could also fit! "Missing" could mean the gene is absent
9. fail to experience - Not this one

Between 6 and 8:
- Sense 6: "be without" - the cells are without the gene
- Sense 8: "be absent" - the gene is absent from the cells

Both could work, but looking at the examples:
- Sense 6: "This soup lacks salt" - describes the state of being without something
- Sense 8: "The child had been missing for a week" - describes something or someone not being present/absent

The sentence structure "cells are missing this gene" is closer to "be absent" (the gene is absent/not there) than "be without" (though they're similar concepts).

Actually, "be absent" (sense 8) seems most natural here - the gene is absent from the cells.

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

Sentence: There also are <t>reports</t> from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers.

Senses:
1. definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale
2. definition=the act of informing by verbal report | examples=he heard reports that they were causing trouble
3. definition=a short account of the news | examples=the report of his speech
4. definition=a sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing) | examples=they heard a violent report followed by silence
5. definition=a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment | examples=his father signed his report card
6. definition=an essay (especially one written as an assignment) | examples=he got an A on his composition
7. definition=the general estimation that the public has for a person | examples=he acquired a reputation as an actor before he started writing

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers."

The context here is about scientific findings from laboratories that have not yet been published. The word "reports" refers to written documents or communications describing the findings of these labs regarding missing p53 genes in various cancer tissues.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" - This fits! The sentence talks about reports from labs about their findings.

2. "the act of informing by verbal report" - This is about the act of informing verbally, not a written document. While it could loosely fit, it's less specific.

3. "a short account of the news" - This is about news accounts, which doesn't fit the context of scientific findings.

4. "a sharp explosive sound" - This clearly doesn't fit.

5. "a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment" - This is about student evaluations, not scientific findings.

6. "an essay (especially one written as an assignment)" - This is about essays/assignments, not research findings.

7. "the general estimation that the public has for a person" - This is about reputation, doesn't fit.

The best match is sense 1: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" because the reports from labs are documenting their findings about missing p53 genes.

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

Sentence: There also are reports from several labs, as <t>yet</t> unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers.

Senses:
1. definition=up to the present time | examples=I have yet to see the results
2. definition=used in negative statement to describe a situation that has existed up to this point or up to the present time | examples=So far he hasn't called
3. definition=to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | examples=looked sick and felt even worse
4. definition=within an indefinite time or at an unspecified future time | examples=he longed for the flowers that were yet to show themselves
5. definition=used after a superlative | examples=this is the best so far
6. definition=despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) | examples=although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers."

The phrase "as yet" means "up to the present time" or "so far." The reports are described as "as yet unpublished," meaning they have not been published up to this point in time.

Let me check each sense:

1. "up to the present time" - This matches! "as yet unpublished" means "unpublished up to the present time"
2. "used in negative statement to describe a situation that has existed up to this point or up to the present time" - This is similar, but the example given "So far he hasn't called" is a negative statement. Our sentence has "as yet unpublished" which is more of a descriptive phrase.
3. "to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons" - No, this doesn't fit.
4. "within an indefinite time or at an unspecified future time" - No, this is about the future.
5. "used after a superlative" - No, this doesn't apply.
6. "despite anything to the contrary" - No, this doesn't fit.

The best match is sense 1: "up to the present time" because "as yet unpublished" means "not yet published up to the present time." The example "I have yet to see the results" is also about something that hasn't happened up to the present time.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in <t>tissue</t> taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers."

In this context, "tissue" refers to biological tissue - specifically tissue samples taken from cancers of the kidney, brain, and skin. This is clearly referring to an aggregate of cells having a similar structure and function, which is sense 1.

Sense 2 refers to soft thin paper (like tissue paper used for wiping or wrapping), which is not the meaning used here.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue <t>taken</t> from kidney, brain and skin cancers."

In this context, "taken" is used to mean tissue that has been removed or extracted from kidney, brain and skin cancers. The tissue was physically removed/extracted from those places.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 4: "get into one's hands, take physically" - examples: "Take a cookie!" - This is about physically taking something
- Sense 17: "remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract" - examples: "remove a threat" - This is about removing something

Sense 17 seems to be the best fit because the tissue was "taken" (removed) from the cancers. The passive form "tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers" means tissue that was removed from those locations.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 4 "get into one's hands, take physically" could also work, but sense 17 which explicitly says "remove something concrete" seems more appropriate for this context where the tissue has been extracted/removed from the cancers.

The answer should be 17.

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

Sentence: There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, <t>brain</t> and skin cancers.

Senses:
1. definition=that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord
2. definition=mental ability | examples=he's got plenty of brains but no common sense
3. definition=that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason | examples=his mind wandered
4. definition=someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality | examples=Mozart was a child genius
5. definition=the brain of certain animals used as meat

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

The sentence is: "There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers."

In this context, "brain" is listed alongside "kidney" and "skin" as sources of cancer tissue. This is clearly referring to the physical organ - the brain tissue that is part of the body's anatomy.

Let me check each definition:

1. "that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord" - This describes the physical organ, the anatomical structure. This fits perfectly with the medical/scientific context of the sentence where tissue is being taken from different organs.

2. "mental ability" - This would be used metaphorically to refer to intelligence, but the sentence is talking about actual tissue samples, not intellectual capacity.

3. "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason" - This is also about mental faculties, not the physical organ.

4. "someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality" - This is about a person's intellect, not relevant here.

5. "the brain of certain animals used as meat" - While this is about brain tissue, it specifically refers to the meat preparation, not the organ in a medical context.

The correct answer is sense 1, as it refers to the physical organ of the brain in an anatomical/medical context where tissue samples are being taken.

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

Sentence: <t>At the same time</t>, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes.

Senses:
1. definition=at the same instant | examples=they spoke simultaneously
2. definition=overlapping in duration | examples=concurrently with the conference an exhibition of things associated with Rutherford was held

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes."

I need to determine which sense of "at the same time" is being used here.

Sense 1: "at the same instant" - This would mean everything is happening in one exact moment simultaneously.

Sense 2: "overlapping in duration" - This would mean things are happening during the same period/timeframe but not necessarily at the exact same instant.

In the sentence, "at the same time" seems to be introducing a contrasting or additional point that is happening during the same general period or timeframe. The Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to do something, and this is happening during the same period as whatever was mentioned before (though the full context isn't given).

The phrase here functions more as a transitional connector suggesting that this action is occurring during the same period/duration as something else mentioned earlier, rather than saying everything happens at one exact instant.

This matches Sense 2: "overlapping in duration" - the work of the Johns Hopkins team overlaps in time with whatever was discussed previously.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: At the same time, the Johns Hopkins <t>team</t> and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes.

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: "At the same time, the Johns Hopkins <t>team</t> and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes."

In this sentence, "team" refers to a group of people at Johns Hopkins who are working together on a scientific project (pinpointing tumor-suppressor genes). This is clearly a cooperative unit of people working together, not draft animals pulling something.

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

Sense 1 is the correct one - it's a cooperative unit. While the definition says "especially in sports," the broader meaning applies to any cooperative group working together on a common goal, including research teams like this Johns Hopkins team.

The answer is: 1

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

Sentence: At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are <t>rushing</t> to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes.

Senses:
1. definition=move fast | examples=He rushed down the hall to receive his guests
2. definition=attack suddenly
3. definition=urge to an unnatural speed | examples=Don't rush me, please!
4. definition=act or move at high speed | examples=We have to rush!
5. definition=run with the ball, in football
6. definition=cause to move fast or to rush or race | examples=The psychologist raced the rats through a long maze
7. definition=cause to occur rapidly | examples=the infection precipitated a high fever and allergic reactions

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes."

The word "rushing" here means that the Johns Hopkins team and others are working quickly/urgently to identify other tumor-suppressor genes. They are acting with haste or speed towards a goal.

Let me compare with the senses:

1. "move fast" - examples: "He rushed down the hall to receive his guests" - this is about physical movement
2. "attack suddenly" - not applicable
3. "urge to an unnatural speed" - "Don't rush me, please!" - this is about pressuring someone
4. "act or move at high speed" - "We have to rush!" - this seems general, could apply
5. "run with the ball, in football" - not applicable
6. "cause to move fast or to rush or race" - "The psychologist raced the rats through a long maze" - this is about causing something to move
7. "cause to occur rapidly" - "the infection precipitated a high fever and allergic reactions" - this is about causing something to happen

In the sentence "rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes," the team is acting/working at high speed to achieve a goal. This is similar to sense 4: "act or move at high speed" with the example "We have to rush!"

The sentence is saying "we have to rush" (to pinpoint genes) - they need to act quickly.

The answer is 4.

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

Sentence: At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint <t>other</t> tumor-suppressor genes.

Senses:
1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day
2. definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint <t>other</t> tumor-suppressor genes."

The word "other" here refers to tumor-suppressor genes that are different from the ones already mentioned or known about. The sentence is saying they are trying to find additional, different tumor-suppressor genes beyond those previously identified.

Looking at the senses:
1. "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - This fits. The "other" tumor-suppressor genes are different from ones already mentioned/known about.
2. "recently past" - Doesn't fit the context at all
3. "belonging to the distant past" - Doesn't fit the context
4. "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected" - This could potentially fit in a loose sense, but it's not the primary meaning here. The genes aren't described as "very unusual" or "strange" in a way that suggests sense 4.

The best fit is sense 1, which clearly describes "other" as "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." The genes are different/additional ones beyond what's already known.

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

Sentence: Dr. Vogelstein <t>hopes</t> soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=expect and wish | examples=I trust you will behave better from now on
2. definition=be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes | examples=I am still hoping that all will turn out well
3. definition=intend with some possibility of fulfilment | examples=I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer."

The verb here is "hopes" and it's followed by an infinitive "to isolate."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "expect and wish" - This seems to be about expecting something to happen while wishing for it. The example is "I trust you will behave better from now on" which shows an expectation with a wish for improvement.

2. "be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes" - This is about being optimistic or full of hope. The example is "I am still hoping that all will turn out well" which shows optimism about the future.

3. "intend with some possibility of fulfilment" - This means to intend to do something with the possibility it might happen. The example is "I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening" which shows intention with some uncertainty about completion.

In the sentence, Dr. Vogelstein hopes to isolate something. This is expressing an intention - the doctor intends to isolate the gene/factor, with some possibility of fulfilment (it may or may not work, but that's the intention). The structure "hope to [verb]" typically expresses intention with some uncertainty.

This matches sense 3: "intend with some possibility of fulfilment" with the example structure "I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening."

The answer is 3.

3. definition=emotionally involved
4. definition=highly complex or intricate and occasionally devious; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; - Sir Walter Scott | examples=the Byzantine tax structure
5. definition=enveloped | examples=a castle involved in mist

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also <t>involved</t> in colon cancer."

The word "involved" here is describing the role of chromosome 18 in colon cancer. It means that chromosome 18 is "connected by participation or association" with colon cancer.

Let me check each sense:

1. "connected by participation or association or use" - This fits. Chromosome 18 is connected by association/participation in colon cancer.

2. "entangled or hindered as if in mire" - This doesn't fit. There's no sense of being trapped or hindered.

3. "emotionally involved" - This doesn't fit. This is about chromosome 18 and cancer, not emotions.

4. "highly complex or intricate" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't describing chromosome 18 as complex or intricate.

5. "enveloped" - This doesn't fit. Chromosome 18 is not being enveloped in mist or anything similar.

The correct sense is 1 - "involved" means connected by participation or association with colon cancer.

14. definition=giving or spending with reluctance | examples=our cheeseparing administration
15. definition=inclined to secrecy or reticence about divulging information | examples=although they knew her whereabouts her friends kept close about it

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are <t>close</t> to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5."

The phrase is "close to finding" - this is clearly expressing that they are near to achieving or reaching the goal of finding the gene. It's about proximity in terms of progress or outcome.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "at or within a short distance in space or time or having elements near each other" - examples: close to noon. This talks about being near in space, time, or proximity. The phrase "close to finding" could fit this sense - they are near to the point of finding it.

3. "not far distant in time or space or degree or circumstances" - examples: near neighbors. This is similar to #1.

Looking at these options, sense 1 seems most appropriate. When we say someone is "close to finding" something, we mean they are near to achieving it, which relates to being near in time/space or in proximity to an outcome. This matches sense 1's definition of "at or within a short distance in space or time."

The answer should be 1.

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 to understand which sense of "find" is being used:

"Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to <t>finding</t> another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5."

The context is that scientists are "close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer." This is about discovering or determining the existence of something through research and investigation.

Let me look at the senses:

1. Come upon by accident - not this, they're actively researching
2. Discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of - this could fit
3. Come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost - this could fit
4. Establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study - this fits well
5. Come to believe on basis of emotion - not this
6. Perceive or be contemporaneous with - not this
7. Get something or somebody for a specific purpose - not this
8. Make a discovery, make a new finding - this fits
9. Make a discovery - this fits
10. Obtain through effort or management - not this
11. Decide on and make a declaration about - not this
12. Receive a specified treatment - not this
13. Perceive oneself to be in a certain condition - not this
14. Get or find back; recover the use of - not this
15. Succeed in reaching; arrive at - not this
16. Accept and make use of one's personality - not this

The most appropriate sense seems to be either 2, 4, 8, or 9. Given that this is about scientists being "close to finding" a gene through research, sense 4 (establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study) seems most precise.

Actually, sense 8 (make a discovery, make a new finding) and sense 9 (make a discovery) also fit very well here. But sense 4 specifically mentions "investigation" and "survey" which are what the scientists are doing.
Sense 4 is the best fit since it directly captures the methodical research process these scientists are engaged in.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the word "involved":

"Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5."

In this sentence, "involved with" means that the gene is connected to/associated with some types of colon cancer. The gene is participating in or associated with colon cancer through causation or relationship.

Let me check each sense:

1. "connected by participation or association or use" - This fits! The gene is connected by association with colon cancer. The example "we accomplished nothing, simply because of the large number of people involved" shows participation/association.

2. "entangled or hindered as if e.g. in mire" - This doesn't fit. The gene isn't hindered or entangled.

3. "emotionally involved" - This doesn't fit. This is about emotional involvement.

4. "highly complex or intricate" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't describing the gene as complex.

5. "enveloped" - This doesn't fit. The gene isn't enveloped.

The correct answer is 1, as "involved with" means connected by association with the colon cancer types.

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

Sentence: Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some <t>types</t> of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5.

Senses:
1. definition=a subdivision of a particular kind of thing | examples=what type of sculpture do you prefer?
2. definition=a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities) | examples=a real character
3. definition=(biology) the taxonomic group whose characteristics are used to define the next higher taxon
4. definition=printed characters | examples=small type is hard to read
5. definition=all of the tokens of the same symbol | examples=the word `element' contains five different types of character
6. definition=a small metal block bearing a raised character on one end; produces a printed character when inked and pressed on paper | examples=he dropped a case of type, so they made him pick them up

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some <t>types</t> of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5."

The word "types" is being used to refer to different kinds or categories of colon cancer. The sentence is asking about different subdivisions or categories of colon cancer.

Looking at the senses:
1. "a subdivision of a particular kind of thing" - this would fit well. "Types of colon cancer" means different subdivisions/categories of colon cancer
2. "a person of a specified kind" - doesn't fit, it's not referring to people
3. "the taxonomic group" - could potentially fit in a biological context, but it's not the primary meaning here
4. "printed characters" - doesn't fit
5. "all of the tokens of the same symbol" - doesn't fit
6. "a small metal block bearing a raised character" - doesn't fit

The best match is sense 1: "a subdivision of a particular kind of thing" - different types of colon cancer are different subdivisions/categories of colon cancer. The example given in sense 1 is "what type of sculpture do you prefer?" which is very similar in structure to the usage in the sentence.

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

Sentence: Dr. Minna <t>believes</t> people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=accept as true; take to be true | examples=I believed his report
2. definition=judge or regard; look upon; judge | examples=I think he is very smart
3. definition=be confident about something | examples=I believe that he will come back from the war
4. definition=follow a credo; have a faith; be a believer | examples=When you hear his sermons, you will be able to believe, too
5. definition=credit with veracity | examples=You cannot believe this man

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Dr. Minna <t>believes</t> people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer."

Here, Dr. Minna is stating that she accepts as true the proposition that people with this genetic condition are prone to lung cancer. She is accepting this information as true based on evidence or her professional judgment.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "accept as true; take to be true" - This fits. Dr. Minna accepts/believes as true that these people are prone to lung cancer.

2. "judge or regard; look upon; judge" - This would be about her opinion or judgment about people, which doesn't quite fit the context. The example "I think he is very smart" is about forming a judgment about someone's qualities.

3. "be confident about something" - This could potentially fit, but it's more about confidence/assurance about something happening.

4. "follow a credo; have a faith; be a believer" - This is about religious or ideological belief, which doesn't apply here.

5. "credit with veracity" - This is about believing someone's testimony/honesty, not about believing a fact.

The most appropriate sense is #1, "accept as true; take to be true" because Dr. Minna is accepting as true the scientific statement about people with this genetic defect being prone to lung cancer.

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

Sentence: Dr. Minna believes <t>people</t> who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively | examples=old people
2. definition=the body of citizens of a state or country | examples=the Spanish people
3. definition=members of a family line | examples=his people have been farmers for generations
4. definition=the common people generally | examples=separate the warriors from the mass

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer."

In this context, "people" refers to human beings in general - specifically those who inherit a defective gene. It's talking about individuals/persons in a collective sense without any specific cultural, political, or familial connotation.

Let me check each sense:

1. "(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively" - This seems to fit. "People" here refers to human beings collectively who have this genetic condition.

2. "the body of citizens of a state or country" - No, this is not about citizens of a specific country or state.

3. "members of a family line" - No, this is not about family members specifically.

4. "the common people generally" - This could potentially fit, but it's not specifically about common people as opposed to upper classes.

The most appropriate sense is #1, which describes any group of human beings collectively. The sentence is using "people" to mean "human beings who inherit a defective gene" - a general group of humans with a specific characteristic.

Sentence: Dr. Minna believes people who <t>inherit</t> a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer.

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 and the three definitions of "inherit":

Sentence: "Dr. Minna believes people who <t>inherit</t> a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer."

Looking at the three senses:

1. "obtain from someone after their death" - This doesn't fit. The sentence is about inheriting genes, not obtaining property after someone dies.

2. "receive from a predecessor" - This could fit loosely, but it's more general and doesn't specifically address genetic inheritance.

3. "receive by genetic transmission" - This is clearly the right definition. The sentence explicitly mentions "a defective gene" and "chromosome 3," which are biological/genetic concepts. When someone inherits genes, that's genetic transmission from parents or ancestors.

The answer 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: Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two <t>copies</t> of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer.

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 and the different senses of "copy":

The sentence: "Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer."

Here, "copies" refers to the two versions/instances of chromosome 3 that a person has - one inherited from each parent. This is referring to the actual genetic copies of the chromosome.

Let's look at each sense:

1. "a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)" - This is about reproducing legal or school documents. Not applicable here.

2. "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - This is about creating something that is similar or identical to another thing. In the genetic context, the two copies of a chromosome are indeed similar/identical versions of the same chromosome (one from each parent), but this is not about something "made to be" similar - they're naturally occurring duplicates.

3. "matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials" - This is about written material for printing. Not applicable.

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

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - in genetics, when we talk about "copies" of chromosomes or genes, we're referring to the natural duplicates. Each person has two copies of most chromosomes (one from each parent). This fits the definition of being something that is "similar or identical to another thing."

The answer should be 2, as it's the general meaning of "copy" as a duplicate or replica of something.

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

Sentence: Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are <t>especially</t> prone to lung cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling
2. definition=in a special manner | examples=a specially arranged dinner

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

"Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer."

The word "especially" here is being used to mean "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" - it's indicating that people with this defective gene have a higher/greater tendency to get lung cancer compared to the general population.

Sense 1: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" - This fits. The sentence is saying these people are particularly/distinctly more prone to lung cancer than others.

Sense 2: "in a special manner" - This doesn't fit. The sentence is not saying they are prone to lung cancer in a special manner, but rather that they are MORE prone to it (to a greater degree).

The answer is 1.

5. definition=be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism | examples=Snow reported on China in the 1950's
6. definition=complain about; make a charge against | examples=I reported her to the supervisor

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too."

In this context, "reported" means that he and others announced or made known the results of their findings or investigation. They are sharing the results of their work/research about the retinoblastoma suppressor gene and its involvement in lung cancers.

Let me check each sense:
1. "give an account or representation of in words" - This is general, could apply
2. "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" - This fits perfectly. They are announcing findings/results of investigation
3. "announce one's presence" - No, this doesn't fit. They're not just showing up
4. "make known to the authorities" - No, this is about reporting to authorities
5. "be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism" - This could fit, but it's more specific to journalism/reporting in media
6. "complain about; make a charge against" - No, doesn't fit

The best match is sense 2: "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" because the researchers are announcing their findings about the gene's involvement in cancers.

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

"Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be <t>involved</t> in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too."

In this context, "involved in" means that the gene plays a role or has participation/association with lung cancers and other cancers. The gene is connected by participation in the development or occurrence of these cancers.

Let me check each sense:

1. "connected by participation or association or use" - This matches! The gene is connected through participation in cancer development.

2. "entangled or hindered as if e.g. in mire" - This doesn't fit. The gene isn't entangled or hindered.

3. "emotionally involved" - This doesn't apply to a gene.

4. "highly complex or intricate" - While cancer can be complex, this isn't the primary meaning here. The focus is on involvement/participation, not complexity.

5. "enveloped" - This doesn't fit the context.

The correct sense is #1 - "connected by participation or association or use" - because the gene is participating in or associated with the development of lung cancers and other cancers.

4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

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

The sentence reads: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several <t>other</t> more common cancers, too."

The word "other" is being used to refer to cancers that haven't been mentioned before - in this case, cancers beyond the lung cancers that were just mentioned.

Let me check each sense:

1. "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - This seems to fit. The "other" cancers are different from the lung cancers just mentioned.

2. "recently past" - This doesn't fit. The word "other" isn't referring to a recent time period.

3. "belonging to the distant past" - This doesn't fit either. Again, not about time.

4. "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't describing the cancers as unusual or strange.

The correct sense is #1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied". The "other" cancers are different cancers that haven't been mentioned yet in the context of this sentence.

Sentence: Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other <t>more</t> common cancers, too.

Senses:
1. definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | examples=more interesting
2. definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other <t>more</t> common cancers, too."

The phrase in question is "more common cancers."

Let me look at what "more" is doing here:
- It's modifying the adjective "common"
- It's creating the comparative form: "more common" (as opposed to just "common")
- This is comparing cancers that are more common (to a greater degree) vs less common

Looking at the two senses:
1. "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" - examples like "more interesting"
2. "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" - examples like "he works more now"

In "more common cancers":
- "more" is used with the adjective "common" to form a comparative
- This matches sense 1 exactly: it's forming the comparative of an adjective ("common")
- The example "more interesting" is structurally identical to "more common"

So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more <t>common</t> cancers, too.

Senses:
1. definition=belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public | examples=for the common good
2. definition=having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual | examples=the common man
3. definition=common to or shared by two or more parties | examples=a common friend
4. definition=commonly encountered | examples=a common (or familiar) complaint
5. definition=being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language | examples=common parlance
6. definition=of or associated with the great masses of people | examples=the common people in those days suffered greatly
7. definition=of low or inferior quality or value; - Shakespeare | examples=of what coarse metal ye are molded
8. definition=lacking refinement or cultivation or taste | examples=he had coarse manners but a first-rate mind
9. definition=to be expected; standard | examples=common decency

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more <t>common</t> cancers, too."

In this context, "common" is being used to describe cancers. The phrase "several other more common cancers" is referring to cancers that are frequently encountered or widespread in occurrence.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public" - No, this doesn't fit
2. "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - This could fit. "Common cancers" would mean cancers that are frequently encountered and ordinary
3. "common to or shared by two or more parties" - No, this is about sharing between parties
4. "commonly encountered" - This fits well. The sentence is referring to cancers that are commonly/frequently encountered
5. "being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language" - No, this is about language
6. "of or associated with the great masses of people" - This could potentially fit, but it's more specific
7. "of low or inferior quality or value" - No, this doesn't fit
8. "lacking refinement or cultivation or taste" - No, this doesn't fit
9. "to be expected; standard" - This could fit

Senses 2, 4, and 9 seem most appropriate. However, sense 4 "commonly encountered" is the most direct and precise meaning. Sense 2 talks about "widely known or commonly encountered" which includes the idea but is broader. Sense 4 is more specific to "commonly encountered."

Actually, I think sense 4 is the best fit because it directly means "commonly encountered" which is exactly what "common cancers" means - cancers that are frequently encountered.

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

Sentence: Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common <t>cancers</t>, too.

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.

The sentence states: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common <t>cancers</t>, too."

The context is:
- Scientific/medical discussion about a suppressor gene
- Reference to "lung cancers" and "other more common cancers"
- This is clearly discussing medical/pathological conditions

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

The sentence is discussing malignant growths/tumors in the context of genetics and medical research. This clearly corresponds to sense 1, which is the medical/pathological definition of cancer.

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

Sentence: Where these <t>discoveries</t> will lead, scientists can only speculate.

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Where these <t>discoveries</t> will lead, scientists can only speculate."

In this context, "discoveries" refers to things that have been found or uncovered - it's referring to the actual findings or things that were discovered, not the act of discovering them.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "the act of discovering something" - This would be about the process/action of discovering, but the sentence is talking about the discoveries themselves, not the act.

2. "something that is discovered" - This fits perfectly. The sentence is referring to discoveries as things/findings that have been found, and wondering where those findings will lead.

3. "a productive insight" - While discoveries can lead to insights, the sentence is talking about the discoveries themselves and where they will lead to, not about insights.

4. "(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure..." - This is clearly a legal/technical definition that doesn't apply to the scientific context in the sentence.

The correct answer is sense 2 - "something that is discovered" because the sentence is referring to the discoveries themselves (the actual things found), not the act of discovering them.

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

Sentence: Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can <t>only</t> speculate.

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can <t>only</t> speculate."

The word "only" here is being used to mean that scientists can do nothing more than speculate - they can speculate and nothing more/nothing else. They cannot do anything other than speculate about where these discoveries will lead.

Let me check each sense:

1. "and nothing more" - This seems to fit. Scientists can speculate and nothing more. They have no other option but to speculate.

2. "without any others being included or involved" - This doesn't fit. It's not about exclusion of others.

3. "with nevertheless the final result" - This doesn't fit. There's no "nevertheless" implication here.

4. "in the final outcome" - This doesn't fit. It's not about a final outcome.

5. "except that" - This doesn't fit. It's not used as a conjunction meaning "except that."

6. "never except when" - This doesn't fit. It's not used in a conditional way.

7. "as recently as" - This doesn't fit. It's not about timing.

The best fit is sense 1: "and nothing more" - Scientists can only speculate means they can speculate and nothing more; they have no other option.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only <t>speculate</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds | examples=Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps
2. definition=talk over conjecturally, or review in an idle or casual way and with an element of doubt or without sufficient reason to reach a conclusion | examples=We were speculating whether the President had to resign after the scandal
3. definition=reflect deeply on a subject | examples=I mulled over the events of the afternoon
4. definition=invest at a risk | examples=I bought this house not because I want to live in it but to sell it later at a good price, so I am speculating

raw_output:
2

The sentence uses "speculate" in the sense of making conjectures about possibilities without sufficient information to reach a certain conclusion. Scientists can only conjecture about where the discoveries will lead because they lack complete certainty.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate."

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

Let me look at each definition:

1. "believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" - This means to think something is likely based on uncertain evidence. The example given is about scientists supposing something.

2. "talk over conjecturally, or review in an idle or casual way and with an element of doubt or without sufficient reason to reach a conclusion" - This means to discuss or consider something as a possibility without certain knowledge. The example is about discussing whether the President had to resign.

3. "reflect deeply on a subject" - This means to think carefully about something. The example is about mulling over events.

4. "invest at a risk" - This means to buy something expecting to profit later. The example is about buying a house to sell it later.

In the sentence "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate," the scientists are essentially making educated guesses or conjectures about where the discoveries will lead. They cannot know for certain, so they can only form tentative beliefs or discuss possibilities.

This fits best with sense 2, which talks about discussing or considering something conjecturally (as a conjecture/guess) without sufficient reason to reach a conclusion. The scientists don't have enough information to know where discoveries will lead, so they can only speculate about it.

Actually, sense 1 could also work - "believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds." But sense 2 seems to better capture the meaning of making conjectures about possibilities.

Let me reconsider. The key phrase is "can only speculate" - meaning they can only make guesses or educated guesses about where these discoveries will lead. This is more about offering conjectures/possibilities rather than deep reflection, and definitely not about investment.

Between 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 is more about believing something
- Sense 2 is about talking or discussing conjecturally
- The phrase "can only speculate" in this context points toward making conjectures about possibilities without sufficient grounds to know for certain. The answer is sense 2.

Let me reconsider the sentence: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only <t>speculate</t>."

Looking at the senses:
1. "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" - This fits the idea of forming beliefs without certainty
2. "talk over conjecturally, or review in an idle or casual way and with an element of doubt or without sufficient reason to reach a conclusion" - This is about discussing/talking
3. "reflect deeply on a subject" - This is about deep reflection
4. "invest at a risk" - This is about financial investment

The sentence is about scientists thinking about where discoveries will lead - they form beliefs/suppositions on uncertain grounds. This matches sense 1 better than sense 2. Sense 1 emphasizes "believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" which is exactly what "speculate" means here - to form suppositions about an uncertain future.

Sense 2 emphasizes "talk over" which suggests discussion, and the example shows people discussing/talking about something.

The sentence is more about forming beliefs about uncertain outcomes (sense 1) rather than discussing/talking things over (sense 2).

I should answer 1.

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

Sentence: Already two <t>major</t> pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies.

Senses:
1. definition=of greater importance or stature or rank | examples=a major artist
2. definition=greater in scope or effect | examples=a major contribution
3. definition=greater in number or size or amount | examples=a major portion (a majority) of the population
4. definition=of the field of academic study in which one concentrates or specializes | examples=his major field was mathematics
5. definition=of a scale or mode | examples=major scales
6. definition=of greater seriousness or danger | examples=a major earthquake
7. definition=of full legal age
8. definition=of the elder of two boys with the same family name | examples=Jones major

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

The sentence: "Already two <t>major</t> pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters..."

The word "major" is describing "pharmaceutical companies." It's referring to two companies that are significant or important in the pharmaceutical industry.

Let me check each sense:

1. "of greater importance or stature or rank" - This could fit. The companies are being described as important/significant.

2. "greater in scope or effect" - This could also fit. These companies have greater scope or effect than smaller pharmaceutical companies.

3. "greater in number or size or amount" - This could apply if referring to size, but it's not specifically about quantity of something.

4. "of the field of academic study" - Doesn't apply.

5. "of a scale or mode" - Doesn't apply.

6. "of greater seriousness or danger" - Doesn't fit this context.

7. "of full legal age" - Doesn't apply.

8. "of the elder of two boys with the same family name" - Doesn't apply.

The most appropriate sense seems to be sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank" - because the sentence is emphasizing that these are important, significant pharmaceutical companies (in contrast to smaller or less important ones). This matches the example "a major artist" which means an important/significant artist.

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

Sentence: Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb <t>unit</t> of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies.

Senses:
1. definition=any division of quantity accepted as a standard of measurement or exchange | examples=the dollar is the United States unit of currency
2. definition=an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole | examples=the reduced the number of units and installations
3. definition=an organization regarded as part of a larger social group | examples=the coach said the offensive unit did a good job
4. definition=a single undivided whole | examples=an idea is not a unit that can be moved from one brain to another
5. definition=a single undivided natural thing occurring in the composition of something else | examples=units of nucleic acids
6. definition=an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity | examples=how big is that part compared to the whole?

raw_output:
3

The "Squibb unit" refers to a division or organizational component of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., which matches the definition of an organization regarded as part of a larger social group.

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

The sentence is: "Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb <t>unit</t> of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters..."

In this context, "the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co." refers to a division or part of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. that is known as Squibb. It's a subdivision or constituent part of the larger company.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a standard of measurement or exchange" - No, this is not about currency or measurement standards.

2. "an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole" - This seems to fit. The Squibb unit is part of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and is a functional/structural constituent of the larger company.

3. "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group" - This also seems to fit well. The Squibb unit is an organization (a division/department) that is part of the larger Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. organization.

4. "a single undivided whole" - No, this doesn't fit.

5. "a single undivided natural thing occurring in the composition of something else" - This seems more scientific/biological in nature and doesn't fit pharmaceutical divisions.

6. "an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity" - While this could potentially fit, it's not the best match.

Between 2 and 3, sense 3 ("an organization regarded as part of a larger social group") seems like the most accurate definition for how "unit" is being used here. The Squibb unit is a division/organization that is part of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
The best fit is sense 3, since the Squibb unit functions as a distinct organizational division within the larger Bristol-Myers Squibb company structure.

The "Squibb unit" refers to a division or organizational component of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., which matches the definition of an organization regarded as part of a larger social group.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 6. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider this. The sentence mentions "the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co."

Looking at the senses:
1. A standard of measurement or exchange (like currency)
2. An individual or group or structure regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole
3. An organization regarded as part of a larger social group
4. A single undivided whole
5. A single undivided natural thing occurring in composition
6. An assemblage of parts regarded as a single entity

The Squibb unit is a division of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. - it's a structural or functional constituent of the larger whole company. This sounds more like sense 2 - "an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole."

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider sense 3 vs sense 2:
- Sense 2: structural or functional constituent of a whole
- Sense 3: organization regarded as part of a larger social group

The Squibb unit is both - it's an organization (a business unit) that is part of a larger social group (Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.).

Actually, sense 3 seems more appropriate because it specifically refers to "an organization" and gives an example about "the offensive unit" which is similar in structure to "the Squibb unit" - both are named units of larger organizations.

But I was told my answer of 3 was invalid. Let me think about sense 2 instead. Yes, I think sense 2 is the better fit - a structural or functional constituent of a whole.

The answer should be 2.

2. definition=cooperate as a traitor | examples=he collaborated with the Nazis when they occupied Paris

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

The sentence states: "Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are <t>collaborating</t> with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies."

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "work together on a common enterprise of project" - with example "The soprano and the pianist did not get together very well"

2. "cooperate as a traitor" - with example "he collaborated with the Nazis when they occupied Paris"

In the sentence, two pharmaceutical companies are working together with gene hunters on a common project - to turn discoveries into predictive tests and therapies. This is clearly a legitimate, positive business collaboration for a common goal.

This matches sense 1: "work together on a common enterprise of project"

Sense 2 refers to collaborating as a traitor, which is clearly not the case here.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene <t>hunters</t> to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who hunts game
2. definition=a person who searches for something | examples=a treasure hunter
3. definition=a constellation on the equator to the east of Taurus; contains Betelgeuse and Rigel
4. definition=a watch with a hinged metal lid to protect the crystal

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand how "hunters" is being used:

"Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene <t>hunters</t> to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies."

The context indicates that:
- These are pharmaceutical companies
- They're collaborating with "gene hunters"
- The purpose is to turn discoveries into predictive tests and therapies
- This is about searching for genes and genetic discoveries

"Gene hunters" clearly refers to people who search for or investigate genes - scientists who are researching genes.

Let me check each sense:
1. "someone who hunts game" - This is literal hunting of animals, not applicable here
2. "a person who searches for something" - This fits perfectly. Gene hunters are people who search for genes
3. "a constellation" - Not applicable
4. "a watch with a hinged metal lid" - Not applicable

The correct sense is #2 - "a person who searches for something" with the example given as "a treasure hunter". Similarly, "gene hunters" are people who search for genes.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to <t>turn</t> the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies."

The key phrase is "turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies."

This is about converting or transforming discoveries into something different - into predictive tests and new therapies.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 2: "undergo a transformation or a change of position or action" - this is about something undergoing change
- Sense 3: "undergo a change or development" - this is also about undergoing change
- Sense 16: "cause to change or turn into something different; assume new characteristics" with example "The princess turned the frog into a prince by kissing him"

The sentence structure is "turn X into Y" which is exactly the structure of sense 16 with its example. This is about causing something to change into something different.

Sense 3 is more passive (something undergoes change), while sense 16 is active (causing something to change into something different).

The sentence is actively turning discoveries into tests/therapies, so sense 16 is the best match.
