Target lemma: close
Target surface form: close
Context:
The p53 gene has just been implicated in lung cancer. 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 missing this gene. There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers. At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes. Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. 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. 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.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "close" in the context: "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."

The phrase "close to finding" indicates proximity in time or degree, i.e., they are near to achieving the finding. This matches sense 3: "not far distant in time or space or degree or circumstances" with synonyms "near, nigh". Sense 1 also mentions "at or within a short distance in space or time", but sense 3 is more general and includes degree. The example "in the near future" aligns with "close to finding". Sense 2 is about relationship, not applicable. So sense 3 is best.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 3}

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "find" with surface form "finding" in context. The sentence is: "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." This is about discovering or locating a gene. The best sense seems to be sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms detect, observe, discover, notice. That matches the scientific discovery context. Alternatively, sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" also fits, but sense 2 is more about detecting existence. Sense 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding" is also plausible. However, sense 2 has the example "We found traces of lead in the paint" which is analogous to finding a gene. Sense 8 is more general discovery of something new. The context is about pinpointing tumor-suppressor genes and isolating them, which is a detection/discovery. I think sense 2 is the best. Also note that the target word is "finding" as a gerund, but the sense is based on verb. So I'll go with sense_index 2.

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

The context discusses genes that are implicated or associated with cancers. Here, "involved" means connected by participation or association. The gene is associated with colon cancer. Sense 1: "connected by participation or association or use" matches. The examples include "the problems involved" which is similar to "gene involved with colon cancer". Sense 2 is about entanglement like in mire, not fitting. Sense 3 is emotionally involved, not applicable. Sense 4 is complex/intricate, not appropriate. Sense 5 is enveloped, like in mist, not fitting. Thus, sense_index 1 is correct

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "believes" in context. The candidate senses are numbered 1-5. We need to choose the best sense.

The context: Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene ... are especially prone to lung cancer. This is a statement of belief based on evidence or reasoning. It is not simply accepting a report as true (sense 1), nor is it a judgment/regard (sense 2 - "think, consider, conceive" but that is more about forming an opinion), nor is it being confident about something (sense 3 - "be confident about something" with synonym trust, example "I believe that he will come back from the war" which is more about expectation), nor is it following a credo (sense 4), nor is it crediting with veracity (sense 5 - credit with veracity is about believing a person or publication, not a proposition).

The use here is: Dr. Minna believes [that] people who inherit... are prone. This is an intellectual belief based on research. It is closest to sense 2 (judge or regard; look upon; judge) or sense 1 (accept as true). But sense 2's examples are "I think he is very smart; I believe her to be very smart" which is about forming an opinion. Sense 1 is about accepting something as true, which fits "accept as true" about a scientific hypothesis. However, the gloss for sense 1 is "accept as true; take to be true" and examples are about believing reports/stories. In the context, Dr. Minna is not taking a report as true; he is forming a conclusion. Sense 2 seems more appropriate: "judge or regard; look upon; judge" with synonyms think, consider, conceive. That aligns with a scientific judgment. Also, sense 2 is often used with object+complement, like "I believe her to be very smart", but here it is "believes people who inherit... are prone" which is a belief about a state of affairs. That is more like "think, consider". Sense 2 includes "I think he is very smart" which is similar to "I believe people are prone". Therefore, I think sense 2 is best.

But let's double-check: sense 2 definition is "judge or regard; look upon; judge". That fits the context of a scientist making a judgment based on evidence. Sense 1 is "accept as true" which is more about credulity. The context is not about accepting a story but about a scientific belief. So sense 2 is better.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 2}.

We are given a target word "people" in the context: "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."

We need to choose the best sense from the four candidates.

Sense 1: (plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively. Example: old people; there were at least 200 people in the audience. This is a general sense.

Sense 2: the body of citizens of a state or country. Synonyms: citizenry. Example: the Spanish people. This refers to a political or national group.

Sense 3: members of a family line. Example: his people have been farmers for generations; are your people still alive? This refers to relatives or ancestors.

Sense 4: the common people generally. Synonyms: multitude, masses, mass, hoi polloi, the great unwashed. Example: separate the warriors from the mass; power to the people. This refers to the ordinary people as opposed to elites.

In the context, "people who inherit a defective gene" refers to individuals in general, not specifically citizens, family members, or the common masses. It is a general group of human beings. The phrase "people who inherit" is a generic reference to any human beings with that genetic trait. Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "Target surface form: copies" in the context: "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 target word is "copies" (plural of copy). In this context, "copies" refers to the two instances of chromosome 3 that each person inherits (one from each parent). It is a biological context: each chromosome is present in two copies (homologous chromosomes). So "copy" here means "an individual instance of a chromosome" – essentially, a thing that is identical or similar to another thing? Specifically, each copy of chromosome 3 is a separate physical entity, but they are analogous. The sense that fits is: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" – that is sense 2, because each chromosome copy is an instance of the same chromosome type. However, note that sense 2's example: "the clone was a copy of its ancestor" – not exactly the same, but it's about replication. In genetics, "copy" is commonly used to refer to one of two homologous chromosomes. So sense 2 is appropriate.

Other senses: sense 1 is about a reproduction of a written record, sense 3 is matter to be printed, sense 4 is material suitable for a journalistic account. None fit.

Thus answer: sense 2.

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 missing this gene. There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers. At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes. Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. 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. 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. 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=especially%4:02:00:: | definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | synonyms=particularly, peculiarly, specially | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling; a particularly gruesome attack
2. sense_key=especially%4:02:01:: | definition=in a special manner | synonyms=specially | examples=a specially arranged dinner

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We are given a target lemma "especially" with two candidate senses. The context talks about people who inherit a defective gene being especially prone to lung cancer. This indicates a degree or extent: they are more prone than common. The first sense matches: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common". The second sense is about doing something in a special manner, which does not fit. So the correct sense is index 1.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "report" in the surface form "reported". The context is about scientific research findings. The sentence: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers..." This is announcing the result of an investigation or finding. The best sense is sense 2: "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding". The example "The team reported significant advances in their research" matches closely. So sense_index = 2.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "involved" in the given context. The target word appears twice: "also involved in colon cancer" and "involved with some types of colon cancer", and later "may also be involved in some lung cancers". The context is about genes being associated with or participating in cancer. The first sense (sense_key=involved%3:00:00::) is "connected by participation or association or use". That fits perfectly: the genes are connected to cancer by participation. The examples include "the problems involved" and "the large number of people involved". Sense 2 is about being entangled/hindered, which doesn't fit. Sense 3 is emotionally involved, not relevant. Sense 4 is complex/intricate, not the meaning here. Sense 5 is enveloped, like a castle in mist, also not relevant. So sense 1 is correct. Return JSON with sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "common" in the context: "several other more common cancers". The phrase is "more common cancers". This suggests that these cancers are frequently encountered or widespread. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public" - not fitting.
2. Sense 2: "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - this seems closest. The phrase "more common cancers" means cancers that are more frequently occurring, i.e., widely known or commonly encountered.
3. Sense 3: "common to or shared by two or more parties" - not fitting.
4. Sense 4: "commonly encountered" with synonyms "usual" - also fits, but note that sense 2 already includes "widely known or commonly encountered". Sense 4 is a more specific sense under the same general idea? Actually sense 4 is labeled as "commonly encountered" with synonym "usual". But sense 2 is broader. Which one is better? The context: "several other more common cancers" - meaning cancers that are more usual or frequently occurring. Sense 4's example: "a common (or familiar) complaint" matches. But sense 2 also has examples like "the common man". However, sense 2 includes "average or ordinary" which might imply lack of distinction, but here it's about frequency. I think sense 4 is more precise because it explicitly says "commonly encountered" and has synonym "usual". But let's check WordNet hierarchy: sense 4 is a derived sense (sense_key ending with familiar:02). Sense 2 is the main sense for "common" meaning ordinary. In many WSD tasks, the most frequent sense is sense 2. However, the context clearly emphasizes frequency. The phrase "more common cancers" is comparative, meaning cancers that are more frequent. That aligns with sense 4 "commonly encountered". Also sense 2 definition includes "commonly encountered" but also other connotations. I think sense 4 is the best fit. Let's double-check other senses: sense 5 (vernacular), 6 (plebeian), 7 (inferior), 8 (unrefined), 9 (to be expected) - none fit. So between 2 and 4, I lean towards 4.

However, note that sense 2 also has "common" as in "common cold" which is a common illness. That fits cancer. But "common" in that sense is often sense 2. Many WordNet sense annotations for "common cancer" would likely be sense 2. But sense 4 is specifically "commonly encountered" with synonym "usual". I think both are plausible, but sense 2 is broader and includes that meaning. Since the instructions say "Choose the single best indexed sense", we need to decide.

Look at the examples: sense 2: "the common man; a common sailor" - these refer to ordinary people, not frequency. Sense 4: "a common (or familiar) complaint; the usual greeting" - these refer to something frequently encountered. The context is about types of cancers that are more frequently occurring. So sense 4 is more directly applicable.

Thus sense_index = 4.

But wait, sense 4 is labeled as "common%5:00:00:familiar:02" which is a satellite sense to "familiar". It's correct.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 4}

reasoning_content: We are asked to perform WSD on the word "only" in the sentence: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate." The context is about scientific discoveries and scientists' ability to predict where they will lead. The word "only" here modifies "speculate". The sense is that scientists can do nothing more than speculate; they are limited to speculating. This matches sense 1: "and nothing more" with synonyms "merely, simply, just, but". The example "I was merely asking" shows a similar limiting sense. Sense 2 "without any others being included or involved" (entirely, exclusively) might also be considered, but the primary meaning here is that they can do no more than speculate, not that they exclusively speculate. Sense 3 "with nevertheless the final result" doesn't fit because it's not about a result that follows. Sense 4 "in the final outcome" is about eventual outcome, not limiting. Sense 5 "except that" introduces a clause, not fitting. Sense 6 "never except when" is conditional. Sense 7 "as recently as" is temporal. So the best is sense 1.

Target lemma: speculate
Target surface form: speculate
Context:
At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes. Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. 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. 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. 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. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only <t>speculate</t>. Already two major 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=speculate%2:31:01:: | definition=to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds | synonyms=theorize, theorise, conjecture, hypothesize, hypothesise, hypothecate | examples=Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps
2. sense_key=speculate%2:32:00:: | 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. sense_key=speculate%2:31:00:: | definition=reflect deeply on a subject | synonyms=chew over, think over, meditate, ponder, excogitate, contemplate | examples=I mulled over the events of the afternoon; philosophers have speculated on the question of God for thousands of years
4. sense_key=speculate%2:40:00:: | definition=invest at a risk | synonyms=job | 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

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate." The context is about scientific discoveries and researchers hypothesizing about future outcomes. The word 'speculate' here means forming theories or conjectures without firm evidence. Looking at the senses:

1. sense 1: "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" - synonyms: theorize, conjecture, etc. This fits well; scientists are theorizing about where discoveries will lead.
2. sense 2: "talk over conjecturally, or review in an idle or casual way..." - This seems more casual, like gossip. The context is serious scientific speculation, not idle talk.
3. sense 3: "reflect deeply on a subject" - synonyms: meditate, ponder. This also fits, but the example "philosophers have speculated on the question of God" suggests deep reflection. The context here is more about forming hypotheses about future outcomes, which is closer to sense 1.
4. sense 4: "invest at a risk" - financial speculation, not relevant.

Between sense 1 and sense 3, sense 1 seems more precise because it explicitly includes "on uncertain or tentative grounds," which matches the context of scientists not knowing for sure. Sense 3 is about deep reflection, but the sentence implies they are guessing about future directions. Also, the example for sense 1 is about scientists supposing, which is very similar. So best index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "major" in a specific context. The context discusses pharmaceutical companies collaborating with gene hunters. The phrase "two major pharmaceutical companies" indicates that "major" modifies "pharmaceutical companies" to convey importance, size, or prominence. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. major%3:00:06:: - "of greater importance or stature or rank" with examples "a major artist; a major role". This fits well because pharmaceutical companies are important/stature/rank.

2. major%3:00:02:: - "greater in scope or effect" with examples "a major contribution; a major improvement". This could also fit but "scope or effect" is more about the impact of something, not necessarily the company's stature.

3. major%3:00:01:: - "greater in number or size or amount" with examples "a major portion (a majority) of the population; Ursa Major". This suggests size, but pharmaceutical companies are not necessarily large in number but in influence. "Major" here is more about importance than size.

4. major%3:00:05:: - "of the field of academic study in which one concentrates or specializes" - not relevant.

5. major%3:00:04:: - "of a scale or mode" - not relevant.

6. major%3:00:07:: - "of greater seriousness or danger" - not relevant here; the context is not about danger.

7. major%3:00:03:: - "of full legal age" - not relevant.

8. major%5:00:00:senior:00 - "of the elder of two boys with the same family name" - not relevant.

The best fit is sense 1 (importance or stature). The phrase "major pharmaceutical companies" is commonly used to denote companies of high importance, prominence, or leading status. Sense 2 (scope or effect) is less direct; it's about the effect of their actions, not the companies themselves. Sense 3 (size) could be argued, but typically "major" in this context implies importance, not just size.

Thus, the answer should be sense_index 1.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "unit" in the given context. The sentence is: "Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating ..." Here "unit" refers to a division or subsidiary of a larger company. That matches sense 2: "an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole" - specifically a constituent part of a larger organization. Sense 3 is "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group" - that also fits but the example there is about military unit or sports unit. Sense 2 seems more appropriate for a corporate division. Also sense 6 is "an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity" but that's more like a whole. The context clearly indicates a component of a larger corporation. Thus sense 2 is best.

We are given the target word "hunters" in the context: "Already two major 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."

The context is about genetic research and finding genes. The phrase "gene hunters" refers to people who search for genes. So the sense is "a person who searches for something" (sense 2). The example "a treasure hunter" matches. Sense 1 is about hunting game, not appropriate. Sense 3 is a constellation, not relevant. Sense 4 is a watch, not relevant.

Thus, the best sense is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
We are given a context about scientific discoveries and pharmaceutical companies collaborating to "turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies." The target word is "turn" used as a verb. The sentence: "Already two major pharmaceutical companies... are collaborating with gene hunters to <t>turn</t> the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies."

This suggests a transformation or conversion: turning discoveries into tests and therapies. Among the candidate senses, sense 16: "cause to change or turn into something different; assume new characteristics" fits well. The example: "The princess turned the frog into a prince" and "The alchemists tried to turn lead into gold" directly parallel the idea of turning something into something else. Also sense 2: "undergo a transformation or a change of position or action" is similar but sense 16 specifically includes "cause to change or turn into something different" and the examples match the context of turning discoveries into tests. Sense 3 "undergo a change or development" with synonym "become" might also fit but lacks the causative aspect. The sentence uses "turn" as a transitive verb: the companies are turning discoveries into tests, so it's causative. Thus sense 16 is the best.

We should output only the JSON with the sense index. The index for sense 16 is 16.

Thus: {"sense_index": 16}

Sense 3 is "a productive insight" which is similar but more abstract. The context says "cascade of discoveries" meaning a series of things discovered. So sense 2 is most appropriate. Sense 4 is legal and irrelevant. Thus answer: {"sense_index": 2}

Sense 2 "original and of a kind not seen before" also fits but is more about novelty in kind. Sense 5 "other than the former one(s); different" could also fit but "new therapies" implies newly created, not just different. The context emphasizes recent discoveries leading to new therapies, so sense 1 seems most appropriate. The example "new laws" similar. So best is sense 1.
