reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "accumulation" in the context of a sentence: "the <t>accumulation</t> of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer..." Here, "accumulation" refers to the process or result of multiple altered genes coming together. The context emphasizes that several altered genes accumulate, leading to cancer initiation. This aligns with sense 2: "several things grouped together or considered as a whole" (collection, aggregation, assemblage). Sense 1 is about natural growth or addition, but the context is about multiple genes being grouped, not necessarily natural growth. Sense 3 is the act of accumulating, but the sentence uses "accumulation" as a noun referring to the collection itself. Sense 4 is financial, irrelevant. Therefore, the best sense is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "altered" in the context of a scientific discussion about cancer and genes. The sentence: "Today, we know that the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer..." The word "altered" here refers to genes that have undergone some change, likely mutations or modifications that affect their function. The context is about genes that are changed in a way that contributes to cancer.

Let's consider the three senses:

1. sense_key=altered%3:00:00:: | definition=changed in form or character without becoming something else; examples: "the altered policy promised success; following an altered course we soon found ourselves back in civilization". This sense suggests a change that is not a complete transformation, but just a modification. However, the definition says "without becoming something else" – in the context of genes, a mutated gene is still a gene, but it becomes a cancer-causing gene. This could fit.

2. sense_key=altered%5:00:00:castrated:00 | definition=having testicles or ovaries removed; synonyms=neutered. This is clearly about castration. Not applicable to genes.

3. sense_key=altered%5:00:00:modified:00 | definition=changed in order to improve or made more fit for a particular purpose; synonyms=adapted; examples: "seeds precisely adapted to the area; instructions altered to suit the children's different ages". This sense implies a change for improvement or adaptation. In the context of cancer, genes are altered in a way that leads to cancer, which is not an improvement; it's a harmful change. However, the definition says "changed in order to improve or made more fit for a particular purpose". That doesn't fit because the altered genes are not improved; they cause disease. The example "seeds precisely adapted" is about beneficial adaptation. So sense 3 seems less appropriate.

Sense 1 seems more neutral: "changed in form or character without becoming something else". The gene is still a gene, but its form or character has changed (mutated). The examples include "altered policy" and "altered course", which are changes that lead to a different outcome. In the context, the accumulation of altered genes initiates cancer, so the genes are changed in a way that affects their function.

Thus, sense 1 is the best fit. The JSON should be {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "initiate" in the context: "the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer". The context is about causing cancer to start. Sense 1: "bring into being" matches starting something new like a cancer. Sense 5: "set in motion, start an event or prepare the way for" also fits. But sense 1 has synonyms "originate, start" and example "He initiated a new program". Sense 5 has "lead up" and example about leading up to WWII, which implies a chain of events. Here, initiating a cancer is directly starting it. Sense 1 seems more direct. Sense 2 is about pioneering, not applicable. Sense 3 induction into group. Sense 4 broaching a topic. So best is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform WSD on the word "then" in the given context. The context is: "Today, we know that the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state." The target surface form is "then". We have three candidate senses.

Sense 1: subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) with synonyms so, and so, and then. Examples: "then he left; go left first, then right". This sense indicates a sequence in time, one event after another.

Sense 2: in that case or as a consequence. Example: "if he didn't take it, then who did?; keep it then if you want to". This sense indicates a logical conclusion or consequence.

Sense 3: at that time. Example: "I was young then; prices were lower back then". This sense refers to a specific past time.

In the context, "the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state." The word "then" connects two sequential events: first initiate a cancer, then propel it into a deadly state. This is a temporal sequence, not a logical consequence in the sense of "in that case". Also, it doesn't refer to "at that time" because "then" is not referring back to a specific past time but rather indicating the next step in a process. So sense 1 is the best match: subsequently or soon afterward.

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

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "propel" fits the context. The context: "the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state." The action is about causing the cancer to move forward or progress. Sense 1: "cause to move forward with force" (synonym: impel), example: "Steam propels this ship." This fits a literal or metaphorical forward movement. Sense 2: "give an incentive for action" (motivate, actuate, etc.) is more about motivating a person. Here, the object is "it" (cancer), and it's being propelled into a deadly state, meaning it progresses. So sense 1 is more appropriate. Thus, sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "deadly" in the context: "accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state." The context is about cancer becoming deadly. The candidate senses are:

1. causing or capable of causing death (deathly, mortal) - "a fatal accident; a deadly enemy"
2. of an instrument of certain death (lethal) - "deadly poisons; lethal weapon"
3. extremely poisonous or injurious; producing venom (venomous, virulent) - "venomous snakes; a virulent insect bite"
4. involving loss of divine grace or spiritual death (mortal) - "the seven deadly sins"
5. exceedingly harmful (baneful, pernicious, pestilent)
6. (of a disease) having a rapid course and violent effect

The context is about cancer progressing into a deadly state. Cancer is a disease. Sense 6 is specifically for diseases: "(of a disease) having a rapid course and violent effect." That seems appropriate. However, sense 1 is more general "causing or capable of causing death." But sense 6 is more specific and fits the context of a disease. The phrase "propel it into a deadly state" suggests the cancer becomes lethal. Both 1 and 6 are plausible, but 6 is specifically for diseases. Also note the synonyms for sense 6: there are none listed? Actually sense 6 is "deadly%5:00:00:virulent:00" with definition "(of a disease) having a rapid course and violent effect". That matches the context well because it's about the progression of cancer to a state where it is rapidly fatal. Sense 1 is broader. I think sense 6 is the best choice. Sense 2 is for instruments, sense 3 for poisons/venom, sense 4 for spiritual, sense 5 for harmful but not specifically disease. So I'll go with sense 6.

Thus JSON: {"sense_index": 6}

That is about the condition or stage of the cancer. The sentence says: "the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly <t>state</t>." So it's about the state or condition of the cancer being deadly. This matches sense 2: "the way something is with respect to its main attributes" with example "his state of health".

reasoning_content: We are given: "Scientists <t>call</t> the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes." Here, "call" means to name or designate something with a specific name. This matches sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" with synonyms "name". The example "They named their son David" is analogous. Sense 2 is similar but with a quality, but here it's about naming a class. So sense 1 is best.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "new" in the context: "Scientists call the <t>new</t> class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes." The sentence refers to a "class of genes" that is newly identified or discovered. The candidate senses are listed with definitions and examples.

Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered" with example "a new law; new cars." This sense fits well because the class of genes has just been discovered or identified. The context mentions "newly identified genes" earlier, so this sense aligns.

Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before" with synonyms fresh, novel. This could also apply, but sense 1 is more general and directly mentions "discovered." The context says "new class of genes" – it is a class that has been recently discovered, not necessarily novel in the sense of being unprecedented in kind. However, it is also novel, but sense 1 emphasizes recency.

Sense 3: "lacking training or experience" – irrelevant.

Sense 4: "having no previous example or precedent" – this could apply to a new class, but the context doesn't emphasize that it has no precedent; it's just newly identified.

Sense 5: "other than the former one(s); different" – not applicable because it's not replacing an old class; it's a new discovery.

Sense 6: "unaffected by use or exposure" – not applicable.

Sense 7: "gratuitously new" – negative connotation, not appropriate.

Sense 8: "in use after medieval times" – irrelevant.

Sense 9: "used of a living language" – irrelevant.

Sense 10: "crops harvested early" – irrelevant.

Sense 11: "unfamiliar" – could apply, but less specific.

The best match is sense 1 because it directly relates to something that has just come into being or been discovered, and the context explicitly says "newly identified genes." Therefore, the sense index is 1.

We need to choose the best sense for "class" in the context: "Scientists call the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes."

The target surface form is "class", and the context describes a group of genes that share a common attribute (they suppress tumors). This matches sense 1: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute" with synonyms category, family. The example "there are two classes of detergents" shows similar usage. Other senses refer to students, social class, courses, league, graduation year, biology taxonomic group, or elegance. None fit as well as sense 1.

Thus answer is sense_index 1.

Sense 2 and 3 are about absolute or emphatic meanings, not fitting. Sense 4 is about living simply. So sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "function" with surface form "functioning" in context. The sentence is: "When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check." The context is about tumor-suppressor genes. The word "functioning" here means performing their expected role or working properly. Let's examine the candidate senses:

Sense 1: "perform as expected when applied" with synonyms work, operate, go, run. Examples: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in; Does this old car still run well?" This sense is about a machine or device working. In the context, genes are not machines but they are biological entities that "work" or "operate" normally. This sense could fit.

Sense 2: "serve a purpose, role, or function" with synonym serve. Examples: "The tree stump serves as a table; The female students served as a control group." This sense is about serving a purpose or acting as something. In the context, the genes are not serving as something else; they are performing their normal biological function. This sense might be too broad.

Sense 3: "perform duties attached to a particular office or place or function" with synonym officiate. Examples: "His wife officiated as his private secretary." This sense is about performing duties in an official capacity, which doesn't fit the biological context.

The best fit is sense 1, as it directly means working or operating as expected. The context says "functioning normally" which aligns with "perform as expected". Therefore, sense index 1.

Return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "hold" in the context: "they make proteins that <t>hold</t> a cell's growth in check." The phrase "hold in check" means to restrain or control. Looking at the candidate senses, sense 7: "to close within bounds, limit or hold back from movement" with synonyms "restrain, confine" fits well. Also sense 27: "lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits" with synonyms "control, hold in, contain, check, curb, moderate" is also relevant. But note sense 27 includes "hold in restraint" and "check" which matches "hold in check". However, sense 7 is specifically about "hold back from movement". The context is about controlling growth. Both are plausible. But sense 27 has more direct relation to "check". The examples include "hold your tongue". The phrase "hold in check" is a common idiom meaning to control. Sense 27's definition explicitly includes "hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits". So I think sense 27 is the best. But let's check the indices: sense 27 is sense_key=hold%2:41:15::, index 27. Sense 7 is index 7. The context "hold a cell's growth in check" is exactly "hold in check" which is a synonym for control/restrain. So I'll choose 27.

content: {"sense_index": 3"}

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "growth" in the context: "they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check." The context is about cancer and tumor-suppressor genes that prevent uncontrolled cell growth. The word "growth" here refers to the process of a cell growing, specifically in terms of size or number. This is a biological process of becoming larger or more numerous. Sense 3: "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important" fits well. Sense 1 is about organic growth of an organism, but here it's about cell growth. Sense 2 is about progression to complex forms, not fitting. Sense 4 is vegetation. Sense 5 is emergence. Sense 6 is abnormal proliferation (tumor), but the sentence says "hold a cell's growth in check" which is the normal process, not necessarily abnormal. The genes normally suppress growth, but if damaged, cells become malignant. So the growth being checked is normal cell growth. Thus sense 3 is best. Sense 6 might be tempting because of tumor context, but the phrase "cell's growth" is about normal growth process. So answer: {"sense_index": 3

Target lemma: growth

Context:
Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an otherwise healthy individual is likely to get cancer. "It's a super-exciting set of discoveries, "says Bert Vogelstein, a Johns Hopkins University researcher who has just found a gene pivotal to the triggering of colon cancer. "Only a decade ago cancer was a black box about which we knew nothing at the molecular level. Today, we know that the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state. "Scientists call the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes. When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's <t>growth</t> in check. But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "growth" in the context: "they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check." Here, "growth" refers to the process of a cell becoming larger or increasing in number, which is a general process of becoming larger or more numerous. That aligns with sense 3: "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important." Sense 1 is about organic growth of an organism, but here it's specifically about cell growth at a cellular level. Sense 1 is more about the entire organism's development. Sense 3 is more appropriate for "hold a cell's growth in check" meaning the increase in size or number. So index 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "damage" in the surface form "damaged". The context is about genes being damaged by radiation, chemicals, or accident. The two candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=damage%2:30:00:: | definition=inflict damage upon | examples=The snow damaged the roof; She damaged the car when she hit the tree
2. sense_key=damage%2:30:01:: | definition=suffer or be susceptible to damage | examples=These fine china cups damage easily

Sense 1 is transitive active: inflict damage upon something. Sense 2 is intransitive or passive: suffer damage or be susceptible.

In the sentence: "But if the genes are damaged..." The verb is in passive voice: "are damaged". This implies that something damages the genes, i.e., an external agent inflicts damage. The context says "by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident". So it is clearly an act of damaging inflicted on the genes. Therefore, sense 1 fits.

Sense 2 would be like "the genes damage easily" but here it's passive "are damaged" with an agent. So sense 1 is appropriate.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1

reasoning_content: We are asked to do fine-grained WSD for "radiation". The context: "perhaps by <t>radiation</t>, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division". This is discussing damage to genes. The radiation is a cause of damage. It is not the treatment (sense 7), not the syndrome (sense 3), not spreading outward (sense 2), not biological spread (sense 5), not nerve fibers (sense 6), not radioactivity emission (sense 4). It likely refers to energy that is radiated, like ionizing radiation, that can damage DNA. So sense 1: "energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles". That seems best. The phrase "perhaps by radiation" suggests a type of damaging agent. Sense 1 is the general emission of energy. Sense 4 is specifically nuclear decay, but it says "the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay" which could also be radioactive decay, but the context doesn't specify nuclear decay, just radiation in general. So sense 1 is broader and more appropriate. Therefore sense 1.

We are given the target lemma "work" in a context about tumor-suppressor genes. The sentence is: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer <t>work</t>, and cells normally under control turn malignant." The context indicates that the proteins stop functioning properly. So we need the sense that means "function" or "perform as expected."

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected" with synonym "act". Example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought". This could fit.
- Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied" with synonyms "function, operate, go, run". Example: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in". This also fits.

Which is more precise? The gloss of sense 4 is specifically about performing as expected when applied, which matches the idea of proteins functioning. Sense 3 is broader about having an effect or outcome. In the context, the proteins are supposed to hold growth in check; when damaged, they no longer perform that function. So sense 4 seems more appropriate because it directly refers to performing as expected when applied, like a machine or device. Also, the example for sense 4 mentions a washing machine, which is analogous to a biological mechanism. Sense 3's example is about a voting process or an idea, which is more abstract.

Thus, sense 4 is the best match. However, we must ensure we don't select the wrong index. Sense index is 4 (since it is listed as 4). The JSON output should be {"sense_index": 4}.

But let's double-check: The candidate senses are numbered 1,2,3,... and sense 4 is "perform as expected when applied". That seems correct. So answer: {"sense_index": 4}.

We need to choose the best sense for "turn" in the context: "cells normally under control turn malignant." This describes a change of state from normal to malignant. Among the candidate senses, sense 3: "undergo a change or development; become" with example "The water turned into ice" fits perfectly. Also sense 7: "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become" with example "The weather turned nasty" is similar but sense 3 is more general "undergo a change or development". Sense 2 is "undergo a transformation" but it's more about change of position or action? Actually sense 2: "undergo a transformation or a change of position or action" and synonyms "change state" might also fit. However, sense 2 includes "We turned from Socialism to Capitalism" which is a change of system, but "turn malignant" is a change of state. Sense 3 explicitly has "become" and example "The water turned into ice". Sense 7 also has "become" and example "The weather turned nasty". Which one is more appropriate? Sense 7 emphasizes gradual transition with "pass into a condition gradually". In the context, it's a change from normal to malignant, which can be gradual. But sense 3 is also about change or development. Both are plausible. However, WordNet often separates these as different senses. Let's check: In WordNet, sense 3 is "undergo a change or development; become" (verb.change) and sense 7 is "pass into a condition gradually; become" (verb.change). The example for sense 3 is "The water turned into ice" which is a clear change of state, while sense 7 is "The weather turned nasty" which is also a change. Given the context "cells... turn malignant", it's a change of state. I think sense 3 is a good match because it's a straightforward change. But sense 7 emphasizes gradualness, which might be implied but not explicit. Also, note that sense 2 is "undergo a transformation or a change of position or action" but its example is about turning from socialism to capitalism, which is a transformation, but might be considered a change of state as well. However, sense 2 has synonyms "change state", which is exactly what happens. But sense 2's definition includes "change of position or action", which is a bit different. I think the most precise is sense 3 (become) or sense 7 (become gradually). Among these, sense 3 is listed first and is more general. Also, in many WSD tasks, "turn" + adjective (malignant) is often sense "become". So I'll pick sense 3.

Thus output {"sense_index": 3}

Target lemma: identify
Target surface form: identified
Context:
"Only a decade ago cancer was a black box about which we knew nothing at the molecular level. Today, we know that the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state. "Scientists call the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes. When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check. But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant. The newly <t>identified</t> genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

We are given the target lemma "identify" with surface form "identified" in context. The context discusses newly identified genes. The sentence: "The newly <t>identified</t> genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

We need to choose the best sense among the six candidate senses. Let's evaluate each:

1. sense_key=identify%2:31:00:: | definition=recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something | synonyms=place | examples=She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster
   This sense is about recognizing or establishing identity, like picking someone out. In our context, the genes are "identified" meaning they have been found or recognized as a new class. This could fit.

2. sense_key=identify%2:32:00:: | definition=give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property | synonyms=name | examples=Many senators were named in connection with the scandal; The almanac identifies the auspicious months
   This is about naming or specifying characteristics. In context, the genes are not being named; they are simply being discovered/identified. Possibly, but less precise.

3. sense_key=identify%2:31:04:: | definition=consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else | examples=He identified with the refugees
   This is about empathy or association, not relevant.

4. sense_key=identify%2:31:03:: | definition=conceive of as united or associated | examples=Sex activity is closely identified with the hypothalamus
   This is about association. In context, the genes are not being associated with something; they are being discovered.

5. sense_key=identify%2:31:01:: | definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example | synonyms=discover, key, key out, distinguish, describe, name
   This sense is specifically about biological identification, like classifying or discovering a species. The context is about genes, which is biological. Synonyms include "discover". The newly identified genes: this fits perfectly because it's about discovering and classifying genes.

6. sense_key=identify%2:31:02:: | definition=consider to be equal or the same | examples=He identified his brother as one of the fugitives
   This is about considering something as the same as something else. Not fitting.

So the best sense is #5, which is specifically for biological identification. The context is about genes, a biological discovery. Sense #1 could also work but sense #5 is more specific with "discover" as a synonym and explicitly mentions botany or biology.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 5}.
