The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually <t>see</t> that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer.

reasoning_content: We are asked to choose the best sense index for "see" in the context. The context: "Under a microscope he could actually <t>see</t> that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing." This is about perceiving by sight under a microscope. The most direct sense is sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight". The examples include "Can you see the bird in that tree?" which is similar to seeing something under a microscope. Other senses like "understand" or "imagine" don't fit as well. So sense index 1 is appropriate.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "bit" in the context: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a <t>bit</t> of chromosome 13 was missing." The word "bit" here refers to a small piece or fragment, specifically a part of a chromosome. Sense 1: "a small piece or quantity of something" fits. Sense 2: "a small fragment of something broken off from the whole" also fits, but it's more about something broken off. The context says "a bit of chromosome 13 was missing" - it's a small piece that is missing. Sense 1 has synonym "spot" and example "a bit of paper". Sense 2 has synonyms like chip, flake, scrap. Both are plausible. But sense 1 is more general for a small piece. However, note that sense 1's definition includes "quantity" which might be more abstract. Here it's a physical piece. Sense 2 explicitly says "small fragment of something broken off" - that seems more precise for a missing part of a chromosome. Also sense 8: "a small fragment" with synonym "snatch" but that's for overheard conversation. So sense 2 seems best. But let's check the other senses: none of the others are relevant. So sense index 2.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "assume" with surface form "assumed" in context. The context describes Dr. Knudson's hypothesis: he assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes. This is an inference or supposition without direct proof. The best sense is sense 1: "take to be the case or to be true; accept without verification or proof". The synonyms include "presume", "take for granted", and the example "I assume his train was late" matches the usage. Other senses involve taking on roles, forms, debts, positions, seizing, pretending, etc., which do not fit. So answer is sense index 1.

It is a portion of a natural object (chromosome). Sense 3: "a portion of a natural object" with synonyms "part" fits well. Sense 1: "a separate part of a whole" could also fit, but sense 3 is more specific to natural objects. Since it's a chromosome, a natural object, sense 3 is better. Also note that sense 3 example includes "he needed a piece of granite", similar to a piece of chromosome. So index 3.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "contained" in the provided context. The target word is "contained" in the phrase "the missing piece contained a gene or genes". The context is about chromosomes and genes. The missing piece of chromosome 13 contained genes. This is about having or including something as a component. Let's evaluate the senses:

Sense 1: include or contain; have as a component. Synonyms: incorporate, comprise. Example: The record contains many old songs. This fits well: the piece contained genes.

Sense 2: contain or hold; have within. Synonyms: hold, bear, carry. Example: The jar carries wine. This also fits, but sense 1 specifically mentions "have as a component" which is more precise for genes being components of the chromosome piece.

Sense 3: lessen intensity; hold in restraint. Not relevant.

Sense 4: be divisible by. Not relevant.

Sense 5: be capable of holding. Example: This box won't take all the items. Not exactly, as it's about capacity.

Sense 6: hold back, check. Not relevant.

Thus sense 1 is the best. The key difference between 1 and 2 is that 1 emphasizes "include or contain as a component" while 2 emphasizes "have within" physically. In genetics, genes are components of chromosomes, so sense 1 is more appropriate. Also the example for sense 1 includes "record contains songs" which is analogous to "piece contains genes". Sense 2 example "jar carries wine" is more about physical containment of a substance. So I choose sense index 1.

Return {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "loss" in the context: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose <t>loss</t> had a critical role in setting off the cancer." The loss refers to the missing piece of chromosome 13, i.e., the loss of that genetic material. It's not a gradual decline (sense 2), not a financial loss (sense 6), not a loved one (sense 5), not death (senses 7 or 8), not an act of losing (sense 3 might be close? But sense 3 is "the act of losing someone or something" – here it's the loss itself, not the act. Sense 4: "the disadvantage that results from losing something" – that fits: the loss of the gene(s) resulted in a disadvantage (cancer). Sense 1: "something that is lost" – that also fits: the missing piece is something lost. But sense 1 example: "the car was a total loss" – that's more like a thing that is lost. Here the loss is the missing genes. However, the context emphasizes the consequence: the loss had a critical role. Sense 4 specifically mentions "the disadvantage that results from losing something" and synonym "deprivation". In the sentence, the loss is the missing genes, and it is that deprivation that caused cancer. Sense 4 seems more precise. But let's also consider sense 3: "the act of losing" – but here it's not the act, it's the state of having lost. The text says "whose loss" meaning the loss of those genes. I think sense 4 is best: the disadvantage/deprivation. Also note that sense 1 definition "something that is lost" – that could be the missing piece itself, but the context focuses on the effect. The sentence says "whose loss had a critical role" – that implies the loss as an event or state leading to consequence. I'll go with sense 4.

We are given a target word "critical" in a specific context. The context is about Dr. Knudson's theory, and the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer." So "critical role" means a very important, essential, or decisive role. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Marked by a tendency to find errors - not appropriate.
2. At a point of abrupt change (e.g., critical temperature) - not relevant.
3. Characterized by careful evaluation and judgment - could be possible but "critical role" is not about careful evaluation; it's about importance.
4. Urgently needed; absolutely necessary - "critical role" could mean an indispensable role. This fits well: the loss of those genes had a critical (vital, essential) role in causing cancer.
5. Forming a turning point or crisis; decisive - "critical role" could mean a decisive role. But the usage here emphasizes necessity rather than turning point. However, it could be ambiguous.
6. Being in a state of crisis - not directly.
7. Of or involving critics - not.

Between 4 and 5: sense 4 says "urgently needed; absolutely necessary" with synonyms "vital". The context says "had a critical role in setting off the cancer" meaning that the loss was crucial for causing cancer. Sense 5 says "forming or having the nature of a turning point or crisis" with synonyms "decisive". While a vital role can also be decisive, the nuance of "critical" here is more about necessity than a turning point per se. The phrase "critical role" is often used to mean an essential role. Also, note that sense 4 is explicitly "urgently needed; absolutely necessary", which matches the idea that the loss of that gene was necessary to set off the cancer. Sense 5 is more about a turning point, but the context doesn't mention a crisis or turning point; it's about causation. Therefore, sense 4 seems best.

Thus the answer is {"sense_index": 4}.

Target lemma: role
Target surface form: role
Context:
But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical <t>role</t> in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=role%1:04:00:: | definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | synonyms=function, office, part | examples=the function of a teacher; the government must do its part
2. sense_key=role%1:09:00:: | definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | synonyms=character, theatrical role, part, persona | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
3. sense_key=role%1:07:00:: | definition=what something is used for | synonyms=function, purpose, use | examples=the function of an auger is to bore holes; ballet is beautiful but what use is it?
4. sense_key=role%1:04:01:: | definition=normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting | examples=what is your role on the team?

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense index for "role" in the given context. The context is about a missing gene having a critical role in setting off cancer. The sense should be about the function or importance of something. Let's review the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group" — This is about a person's role, like a function in a job. Not exactly about a gene's role.

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

3. sense 3: "what something is used for" — This is about purpose or function. Synonyms: function, purpose, use. Example: "the function of an auger is to bore holes". This fits well: the gene's loss had a critical role (purpose/function) in setting off the cancer.

4. sense 4: "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting" — Again about a person's social role.

Thus sense 3 is the best fit. It matches the idea of the gene's function or purpose in causing cancer.

So JSON output: {"sense_index": 3}

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "set_off" with surface form "setting off" in the context: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer." The context describes that the loss of a gene or genes was critical in causing or initiating the cancer. We need to choose the best sense among the seven provided.

Let's examine each sense:

1. sense_key=set_off%2:36:00::: definition "put in motion or move to act" with synonyms trip, actuate, trigger, activate, spark off, spark. Example: "trigger a reaction". This sense fits well: the loss of genes triggered or activated the cancer.

2. sense_key=set_off%2:38:00::: definition "leave" with synonyms depart, etc. This is about leaving a place. Not relevant.

3. sense_key=set_off%2:30:02::: definition "direct attention to, as if by means of contrast" with synonyms bring out. Example: "I set off these words by brackets". This is about highlighting or contrasting. Not relevant.

4. sense_key=set_off%2:30:00::: definition "cause to burst with a violent release of energy" with synonyms explode, detonate, blow up. This is about explosions. The cancer is not literally exploding; it's a metaphorical initiation. But sense 1 is more appropriate.

5. sense_key=set_off%2:42:00::: definition "make up for" with synonyms cancel, offset. Example: "His skills offset his opponent's superior strength". This is about compensating. Not relevant.

6. sense_key=set_off%2:30:01::: definition "set in motion or cause to begin" with example: "The guide set the tour off to a good start". This is very similar to sense 1, but sense 1 has more specific synonyms like trigger, activate. This sense is about causing to begin. Both are plausible, but sense 1 is more about triggering a reaction, which fits the biological context.

7. sense_key=set_off%2:32:00::: definition "provoke or stir up" with synonyms incite, instigate, stir up. Example: "incite a riot; set off great unrest among the people". This is about provoking something negative like unrest. The cancer is not being provoked in the sense of incitement; it's more of a causal trigger.

The best fit is sense 1 because it directly refers to triggering a reaction or activating something, which matches the idea of setting off cancer. Sense 6 is also possible but sense 1 is more precise. Also, note the example "trigger a reaction" is very similar to "setting off the cancer".

Thus, I choose sense_index 1.

I must return only a JSON object: {"sense_index": 1}

Clearly, it refers to a medical condition, a malignant growth. Among the senses, sense 1 is "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division". The other senses are astrological or zodiacal or a genus of crabs. So the correct sense is sense 1. The output should be {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "know" in the context. The context: "But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared." This indicates a lack of awareness or knowledge about a specific fact (which gene). Sense 1 is "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" with examples like "I know that the President lied to the people". Sense 3 is "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt" with example "I know that I left the key on the table". Both are similar, but sense 1 emphasizes possessing information about a fact, while sense 3 emphasizes being aware of the truth. The context is about knowing which gene disappeared—it's about factual knowledge. Sense 1 seems more appropriate because it directly says "be cognizant or aware of a fact". Sense 3 is more about believing something as true beyond doubt, which is slightly different. Also note that the example for sense 1 includes "I want to know who is winning the game!" which is similar to "which gene". So I think sense 1 is best.

Let's check other senses: sense 2 is know how to do something, not relevant. Sense 4 is familiar with a person or object, not relevant. Sense 5 is experience, not relevant. Sense 6 is accept as claimed, not. Sense 7 is have fixed in the mind (know Latin) but not about fact. Sense 8 is sexual, no. Sense 9 is know the nature or character, not. Sense 10 is distinguish, not. Sense 11 is perceive as familiar, not.

Thus sense 1 is correct.

I'll output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "then" in the sentence: "Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer." The target surface form is "Then" at the beginning of the sentence. The context describes a sequence: first, Dr. Knudson made assumptions, and then a scientific team found the answer. This indicates a temporal sequence: subsequently or soon afterward. The candidate senses are:
1. subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) - synonyms: so, and so, and then. Example: "then he left; go left first, then right"
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"
3. at that time - example: "I was young then; prices were lower back then"

The target "Then" at the beginning of the sentence is used as a sentence connector to indicate what happened next. It is not used to mean "in that case" or "at that time" (the latter would refer to a specific past time, but here it's about the sequence). Also note the secondary occurrence: "then at the University of Utah" would be sense 3 (at that time). But the target is the first "Then" (capitalized and in tags). So the best sense is sense 1.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

We are given a target word "scientific" in the context: "Then, a <t>scientific</t> team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer." We need to choose between two senses.

Sense 1: "of or relating to the practice of science" (e.g., scientific journals)
Sense 2: "conforming with the principles or methods used in science" (e.g., a scientific approach)

The phrase "scientific team" refers to a team that is engaged in scientific work, i.e., a team of scientists. This is more about being related to science rather than conforming to methods. Sense 1 seems appropriate: "of or relating to the practice of science." The team is composed of scientists practicing science. Sense 2 would apply to something like a method or approach, not a team. So the best index is 1.

Thus, output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine the correct sense of "led" in the context. The phrase is "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee". This indicates that Cavenee was the leader or head of the team. Examining the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: take somebody somewhere - not appropriate.
2. sense 2: have as a result or residue - no.
3. sense 3: tend to or result in - no.
4. sense 4: travel in front of; go in advance of others - could be close but not exactly.
5. sense 5: cause to undertake a certain action - not.
6. sense 6: stretch out over a distance - no.
7. sense 7: be in charge of - synonyms: head. This matches: "be in charge of" with example "Who is heading this project?" The phrase "team led by" means someone is in charge/directing.
8. sense 8: be ahead of others; be the first - could be close but "led" here is not about being first in a competition but leading a team.
9. sense 9: be conducive to - no.
10. sense 10: lead as in performance - no.
11. sense 11: lead, extend, or afford access - no.
12. sense 12: move ahead (of others) in time or space - not.
13. sense 13: cause something to pass - no.
14. sense 14: preside over - synonyms moderate, chair. This is similar to sense 7. Sense 7 has "be in charge of" and sense 14 "preside over". In context, "led by" is more like being in charge as the leader. Both sense 7 and 14 are plausible. Sense 7 explicitly says "be in charge of" with synonym "head". Sense 14 says "preside over" with synonyms "moderate, chair". In a scientific team, the leader is typically in charge, not necessarily presiding over a meeting. The phrase "led by" is commonly used to indicate the head of a research group. I think sense 7 is more appropriate. Also, sense 14 might be more for formal meetings. So best is sense 7.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 7}

Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, <t>then</t> at the University of Utah, found the answer. The team used a battery of the newly developed "gene probes, "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "then" in the context: "Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, <t>then</t> at the University of Utah, found the answer." The target surface form is "then" and it appears twice in the sentence: first as a sentence connector "Then," and second as an adverb "then" modifying "at the University of Utah". The candidate senses are:

1. subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) - synonyms: so, and so, and then - examples: then he left; go left first, then right
2. in that case or as a consequence - examples: if he didn't take it, then who did?; keep it then if you want to
3. at that time - examples: I was young then; prices were lower back then

The context: The sentence describes a sequence of events. First, Dr. Knudson had assumptions. Then, a scientific team found the answer. The word "Then" at the beginning of the sentence is a sentence connector meaning "subsequently". The second occurrence of "then" is in "then at the University of Utah", which means "at that time" (i.e., at the time of the discovery, he was at the University of Utah). The target surface form is the second occurrence, as indicated by the <t> tags around "then". So we need to disambiguate the second "then" in the phrase "then at the University of Utah". That usage means "at that time" (sense 3). The first "Then" is a separate occurrence and not the target. Therefore, the best sense is sense 3.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "found" in the context. The sentence: "Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer." The team discovered the answer after research. This aligns with sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" with example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize." Also sense 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding" but sense 4 is more specific to investigation. Sense 2 is about detecting existence, but here it's about finding the answer. Sense 1 is accidental meeting. Sense 3 is finding something lost. Sense 4 fits best. So sense_index 4.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "answer" in the context: "Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer." The context is about solving a problem: they did not know which gene had disappeared, and the team found the answer, meaning they discovered which gene(s) were missing. This fits sense 2: "a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem" with synonyms solution, result, etc. The example "the answers were in the back of the book" is similar. Sense 1 is about a reply to a question, but here it's more about solving a scientific puzzle. Sense 3 is speech act of replying, not fitting. Sense 4 is legal pleading. Sense 5 is nonverbal reaction. So best is sense 2.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "developed" in the context: "The team used a battery of the newly <t>developed</t> 'gene probes'". The word "developed" here means created or invented something new, specifically the gene probes. Sense 1 is "make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation". That fits perfectly: they made new gene probes. Other senses like "work out" (2) or "elaborate" (7) could also be close, but sense 1 is most direct because it explicitly mentions "make something new, such as a product". The examples include "developed a new technique" which is analogous. So sense index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "genetic" in the context: "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell." The candidate senses are:

1. Sense 1: "occurring among members of a family usually by heredity" (inheritable traits) - This doesn't fit because "genetic material" is not about familial occurrence.

2. Sense 2: "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" - This seems plausible: "genetic material" refers to material that is related to genes.

3. Sense 3: "pertaining to or referring to origin" - This might be too broad and not specific to genes.

4. Sense 4: "of or relating to the science of genetics" - This could also fit, but "genetic material" is more directly about genes themselves rather than the science.

The context mentions "gene probes" and "track a gene's presence," so "genetic material" is material that is genic, i.e., related to genes. Sense 2 specifically includes "genic" as a synonym and example "genic combinations; genetic code." Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 2}.

Sense 1: "the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object" with synonyms "stuff". That fits: genetic material is the substance of chromosomes. Sense 2 is about information, but here it's physical material. Sense 3 is fabric, not relevant. Sense 4 is things needed for doing/making, but not exactly. Sense 5 is person. So sense 1 is best. But note: The sense key is material%1:27:00, but we need to output sense_index. The instruction says "Return only a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}." But we need to output the index number. The list shows sense indexes 1-5. So sense 1 corresponds to "material%1:27:00". So answer: {"sense_index": 1}. However, check: The instruction says "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key." and "Return only a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}." So we output the index number. So it's 1.

Target lemma: presence
Target surface form: presence
Context:
Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer. The team used a battery of the newly developed "gene probes, "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's <t>presence</t> in a cell. By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=presence%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being present; current existence | examples=he tested for the presence of radon
2. sense_key=presence%1:15:00:: | definition=the immediate proximity of someone or something | synonyms=front | examples=she blushed in his presence; he sensed the presence of danger
3. sense_key=presence%1:18:00:: | definition=an invisible spiritual being felt to be nearby
4. sense_key=presence%1:09:00:: | definition=the impression that something is present | examples=he felt the presence of an evil force
5. sense_key=presence%1:07:00:: | definition=dignified manner or conduct | synonyms=bearing, comportment, mien
6. sense_key=presence%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of being present

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
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 "presence" in a scientific context about gene probes tracking a gene's presence in a cell. The context: "The team used a battery of the newly developed 'gene probes,' snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's <t>presence</t> in a cell."

We need to choose the best indexed sense from the list. The senses:

1. the state of being present; current existence (example: he tested for the presence of radon)
2. the immediate proximity of someone or something (synonyms: front; examples: she blushed in his presence; he sensed the presence of danger)
3. an invisible spiritual being felt to be nearby
4. the impression that something is present (example: he felt the presence of an evil force)
5. dignified manner or conduct (synonyms: bearing, comportment, mien)
6. the act of being present

The context is about tracking a gene's presence in a cell. This clearly refers to the existence or occurrence of the gene in the cell, not proximity, spiritual being, impression, or demeanor. Sense 1 is "the state of being present; current existence" which fits perfectly. Sense 6 is "the act of being present" which is more about the act, but sense 1 seems more appropriate given the example "tested for the presence of radon" which is analogous to tracking a gene's presence. So sense 1 is the best.

Thus, output: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We need to determine the correct sense of "cell" in the given context. The context is about genetics, chromosomes, gene probes, and extracting cells from tumors. The sentence: "The team used a battery of the newly developed 'gene probes,' snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell." Here, "cell" refers to the biological unit. The candidate senses: sense 2 is "(biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms". That matches. Other senses are unrelated: compartment, electric cell, political cell, mobile phone, monk's room, prison cell. So sense_index is 2.
