Target lemma: study
Target surface form: studied
Context:
It is used in dogs to prevent vomiting such as vomiting caused by chemotherapy (medicines used for the treatment of cancer, some of which are known to cause vomiting). In combination with supportive measures such as other veterinary treatment or a special diet, Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets). For these purposes, Cerenia can be given for up to five days How does Cerenia work? Cerenia blocks a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor, which acts in the central nervous system. How has Cerenia been <t>studied</t>? A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA.

reasoning_content:
We need to find the best sense for "studied" in the given context. The context: "How has Cerenia been studied? A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out..." The target word is "studied" (past participle). It refers to research on Cerenia, involving scientific investigation. The candidate senses:

1. sense_key=study%2:31:02:: - "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning" - synonyms: analyze, examine. This fits the scientific research context.

2. sense_key=study%2:31:03:: - "be a student; follow a course of study; be enrolled at an institute of learning" - not relevant.

3. sense_key=study%2:39:00:: - "give careful consideration to" - synonyms: consider. This is similar but more general.

4. sense_key=study%2:31:00:: - "be a student of a certain subject" - not relevant.

5. sense_key=study%2:31:01:: - "learn by reading books" - not relevant.

6. sense_key=study%2:31:04:: - "think intently and at length, as for spiritual purposes" - not relevant.

The context talks about studies (scientific experiments) on Cerenia. The verb "studied" here means to conduct research or analyze. Sense 1 fits best: "consider in detail and subject to an analysis". The examples include "analyze a sonnet by Shakespeare", which is similar to analyzing data. So sense 1 is best. But note: the sense index in the list is 1 (first in the list). However, the instruction says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}". But that's just an example format; we need to output the actual index. The candidate senses are numbered 1 to 6. So sense 1 corresponds to study%2:31:02. So answer: {"sense_index": 1}. But careful: the example in instruction says "like {"sense_index": 3}" but that's just an example. We need to output the correct index. So I'll output 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "study" and surface form "studies". The context: "A large number of <t>studies</t> with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA." This refers to clinical trials or research investigations. The candidate senses:

1. survey (detailed critical inspection) - could fit, but "studies" here are more specific.
2. applying the mind to learning (work) - not quite; it's not about learning but about experiments.
3. a written document describing findings (report) - could be, but "studies" often refer to the research projects themselves, not just the document.
4. state of deep mental absorption - no.
5. room - no.
6. branch of knowledge - no.
7. preliminary drawing - no.
8. attentive consideration - possible but less specific.
9. someone who memorizes quickly - no.
10. composition for technique - no.

The best sense is likely sense 1 (survey) or sense 3 (report). However, in medical contexts, "studies" typically refer to research studies, which are systematic investigations. WordNet sense 1 is "a detailed critical inspection" with synonym "survey". Sense 3 is "a written document describing the findings". In context, "a large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out" suggests the actual investigations, not just the written reports. Also, "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?" implies the studies as the activities. Sense 1 seems more appropriate as it refers to the inspection or investigation itself. Sense 3 is more about the document. The examples for sense 3: "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" - that could be a report. But the context says "studies ... were carried out", which aligns more with the activity of studying/investigating. I think sense 1 is better. However, let's check synonyms: survey. In medical research, "study" often means a research project. I'll go with sense 1.

2. sense_key=carry_out%2:30:00:: | definition=pursue to a conclusion or bring to a successful issue | synonyms=follow through, follow up, follow out, implement, put through, go through | examples=Did he go through with the treatment?; He implemented a new economic plan

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "carry_out" in the form "carried out". The context is about studies that were carried out. The two candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=carry_out%2:36:00:: | definition=put in effect | synonyms=carry through, accomplish, execute, action, fulfill, fulfil | examples=carry out a task; execute the decision of the people
2. sense_key=carry_out%2:30:00:: | definition=pursue to a conclusion or bring to a successful issue | synonyms=follow through, follow up, follow out, implement, put through, go through | examples=Did he go through with the treatment?; He implemented a new economic plan

The context: "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises..."

The phrase "carried out" here means that the studies were conducted or performed. Both senses are similar, but sense 1 emphasizes putting into effect or executing, while sense 2 emphasizes pursuing to a conclusion or implementing. In the context of studies, "carried out" typically means they were performed or conducted. Sense 1's example "carry out a task" fits well. Sense 2's example "Did he go through with the treatment?" is more about following through with something already planned. The studies were simply conducted. I think sense 1 is more appropriate. But let's check the synonyms: sense 1 has "carry through, accomplish, execute, action, fulfill, fulfil". Sense 2 has "follow through, follow up, follow out, implement, put through, go through". The context doesn't imply a follow-through or implementation of a plan; it's just the execution of studies. So I choose sense 1.

Thus the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose between sense 1 and sense 2. The context: "a large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in <t>laboratory</t> dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises". This refers to dogs in a laboratory setting for scientific research. Sense 1 is "a workplace for the conduct of scientific research". Sense 2 is metaphorical: "a region resembling a laboratory inasmuch as it offers opportunities for observation and practice and experimentation". The context clearly refers to actual laboratory dogs, not a metaphorical region. So sense 1 is correct. The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

Sense 1: "(used with count nouns) of an indefinite number more than 2 or 3 but not many" - fits typical meaning. Sense 2: "considered individually" - like "respective, various" - but here it's not emphasizing individuality, just that there are multiple countries. Sense 3: "distinct and individual" - "three several times" is archaic. The context is modern and clearly uses "several" to mean a number of countries. So sense 1 is the best.

The context discusses the effectiveness of Cerenia in reducing vomiting. The benefit here is not financial assistance (sense 1) nor a performance to raise money (sense 3). It is something that aids or promotes well-being, i.e., the positive effect of the drug. Sense 2 matches: "something that aids or promotes well-being" with synonym "welfare" and example "for the benefit of all". So the answer is sense_index 2.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "shown" in the sentence: "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?" The context: Cerenia is a medicine, studies were done, and the question is about the benefit that Cerenia has shown. The phrase "shown" here means demonstrated or exhibited a benefit. Looking at candidate senses: sense 1 is about exhibiting to an audience (like showing dogs), not appropriate. Sense 2 is about establishing validity by example/experiment – that fits: the studies showed the benefit, i.e., demonstrated it. Sense 3 is "provide evidence for" – also close, but sense 2 seems more precise because it's about establishing validity through studies. Sense 4 is "make visible or noticeable" – possible but less specific. Sense 6 is "give expression to" – not exactly. Sense 10 is "give evidence of, as of records" – also possible but less direct. Given the context of a scientific study demonstrating efficacy, sense 2 is best. Also, the example in sense 2: "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound" parallels "the studies showed the benefit". So sense_index 2.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "studies" in the context of a text about Cerenia, a medication for dogs. The text mentions "a large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out" and "the results of the studies showed..." This clearly refers to scientific investigations or experiments. Among the senses, sense 3 (index 3) is "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" with synonyms "report, written report". This fits the context best, as they are referring to the studies as reports or investigations. Sense 1 ("a detailed critical inspection") might also fit but is more general. Sense 3 specifically includes the notion of a written document, which matches the context of "a large number of studies... carried out" and "results of the studies". Also, the example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" aligns with this usage. Therefore, the best sense is index 3.

How does Cerenia work? Cerenia blocks a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor, which acts in the central nervous system. How has Cerenia been studied? A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA. What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies? The <t>results</t> of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting. The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again).

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform fine-grained Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "result" in the given context. The target surface form is "results". The sentence: "The <t>results</t> of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo..."

We need to choose among four candidate senses (1-4). Let's examine each:

Sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - synonyms: consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot. This is about a cause-effect relationship. The results of studies are outcomes, but "results" here refers to the data or findings from the studies, not necessarily a causal phenomenon per se. However, this sense includes "outcome" which fits.

Sense 2: "a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem" - synonyms: solution, answer, resolution, solvent. This is about a solution. The results of studies are not a solution; they are findings that show effectiveness. Not fitting.

Sense 3: "something that results" - synonyms: resultant, final result, outcome, termination. Examples: "he listened for the results on the radio." This is very general: "something that results" - the outcome or final product. In the context, the results of the studies are the findings, the outcomes of the studies. This seems a good fit. Note: sense 1 and sense 3 both have "outcome" as a synonym, but sense 3 is more general "something that results" while sense 1 emphasizes causality. The context says "the results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective..." - this is the outcome of the studies, not necessarily a causal phenomenon (though studies investigate cause-effect). I lean toward sense 3 because it's the most straightforward: the results are what came out of the studies.

Sense 4: "the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause" - this is a linguistic/grammatical sense (thematic role). Not applicable.

Thus, senses 1 and 3 are plausible. But which is best? Let's see the examples: for sense 1, "the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise" and "his decision had depressing consequences for business" - these emphasize causal effects. For sense 3, "he listened for the results on the radio" - that's more like news results, e.g., election results, study results. In our context, "results of the studies" is a typical usage: the findings or outcomes. Sense 3 explicitly includes "final result" and "outcome". Also, the definition "something that results" is very general. Sense 1 is more specific to causal phenomena. In the sentence, the results are not presented as a causal phenomenon per se but as the findings. So sense 3 is more appropriate.

Therefore, the best index is 3.

reasoning_content: We are asked to choose the best sense for "studies" in the context. The context is about scientific studies on Cerenia. The word "studies" appears multiple times: "a large number of studies", "during the studies", "the results of the studies". These refer to research investigations. Looking at the senses, sense 3 is "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" with example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale". However, in context, "studies" refers to the actual research projects or experiments, not just the written documents. Sense 1 is "a detailed critical inspection" with synonym "survey", which could fit but is less specific. Sense 2 is about learning, sense 4 absorption, etc. The best match is sense 3 because it refers to a scientific study as a research project, and the example uses "study" in a similar scientific context. Also, the phrase "results of the studies" indicates a formal research study. So I choose sense 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "The results of the studies <t>showed</t> that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen..."

The target word is "showed" (past tense of show). We need to choose the best sense from the list.

Looking at the context: The studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo. This is about establishing or demonstrating a fact based on evidence. The definition for sense 2 is "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" with synonyms prove, demonstrate, establish, shew. This matches well. Sense 3 is "provide evidence for" but with synonyms testify, bear witness, prove, evidence. That is similar, but sense 2 explicitly mentions "establish the validity" and "experiment". The context is about studies and results, so sense 2 seems appropriate.

Sense 1 is about giving an exhibition to an audience, not appropriate. Sense 4 is "make visible or noticeable" which could be close but more general. Sense 5 is about pictures. Sense 6 is give expression to. Sense 7 is indicate a place. Sense 8 is become visible. Sense 9 is indicate a reading. Sense 10 is give evidence of records. Sense 11 is usher. Sense 12 is horse racing.

Between sense 2 and sense 3, sense 2 "establish the validity of something" is more specific to the scientific context of proving through studies. Also, the example "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound" parallels "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective".

Thus sense index 2.

But careful: The sense indices in the list are numbered 1-12. So answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "more" in the context: "Cerenia was more effective than the placebo". The word "more" is used to form the comparative of the adjective "effective". That matches sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" with examples like "more interesting". Sense 2 is "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" which is used with verbs or uncountable nouns (e.g., "he works more now"). Here, "more" modifies an adjective, so sense 1 is appropriate. Therefore answer: {"sense_index": 1}

Vomiting is a mass noun (the act or amount of vomiting). So sense 1 is about amount/degree. Sense 2 is about lower quality (usually preceded by 'no'). Sense 3 is about fewer (countable).

reasoning_content: We need to determine the best sense for "seen" in the context: "less vomiting was <t>seen</t> in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo". The verb "see" here is used in the sense of observing or witnessing an event or phenomenon. It is not about perceiving by sight (sense 1) because it's about observed results. It could be sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" (witness, find) with example "You'll see a lot of cheating in this school". That fits: witnessing vomiting (or lack thereof) as an observed outcome. Also sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" (learn, find out) but that implies accidental discovery, whereas here it's a reported observation from a study. Sense 2 is mental perception, but not appropriate. Sense 7 is about watching TV. Sense 19 is about a camera seeing, not applicable. The best is sense 3: witness, find. So answer: {"sense_index": 3}.

Context:
How does Cerenia work? Cerenia blocks a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor, which acts in the central nervous system. How has Cerenia been studied? A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA. What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies? The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in <t>dogs</t> that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting. The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=dog%1:05:00:: | definition=a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds | synonyms=domestic dog, Canis familiaris | examples=the dog barked all night

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "dogs" in the context. The context is about a medicine for vomiting in dogs, clearly referring to the animal. Sense 1 is the domestic dog. The other senses are derogatory terms for women or men, a sausage, mechanical parts, or fireplace supports. None fit. So sense_index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "started" in the context: "The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection". The meaning is to begin or initiate the treatment. Looking at candidate senses:

1. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - fits well: beginning the treatment.
2. "set in motion, cause to start" - also possible but more about causing something to start, like a war.
3. "leave" - not relevant.
4. "have a beginning" - more about something beginning itself, not someone starting something.
5. "bring into being" - like initiate a program, could fit but less direct.
6. "get off the ground" - similar to initiate.
7. "move or jump suddenly" - no.
8. "get going or set in motion" - like starting an engine, not quite.
9. "begin or set in motion" - like "I start at eight" - more about beginning an activity.
10. "begin work or acting in a certain capacity" - like start a new job, not exactly.
11. "play in the starting lineup" - no.
12. "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" - no.
13. "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" - e.g., begin a cigar, start the soup - this could apply to "started the treatment" but the example is odd.
14. "bulge outward" - no.

The most straightforward is sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action". The synonyms include "begin", "get down", "set about". The example "We began working at dawn" matches the idea of starting a treatment. Sense 2 is also plausible but sense 1 is more general and fits the context of beginning a course of action. Sense 5 and 6 are about initiating something new, but here it's starting a treatment that is already defined. So sense 1 is best.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}

The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting. The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the <t>injection</t>, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again). For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog.

reasoning_content:
We are given a context about Cerenia, a medicine for dogs to prevent vomiting. The target word is "injection" in the sentence: "The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the <t>injection</t>, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down..."

We need to choose among three senses:

1. sense_key=injection%1:04:00:: | definition=the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure
2. sense_key=injection%1:27:00:: | definition=any solution that is injected (as into the skin) | synonyms=injectant
3. sense_key=injection%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe | synonyms=shot | examples=the nurse gave him a flu shot

The context clearly refers to administering a medicine via injection (as opposed to tablets). The phrase "started with the injection" indicates the act of injecting. Sense 3 specifically mentions "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe" and has the synonym "shot". This matches the context: the dog is vomiting, so they cannot keep a tablet down, so they start with an injection (the act of injecting the medicine). Sense 1 is about forceful insertion under pressure, which might be too general (e.g., injection molding). Sense 2 is about the solution itself (the injectable liquid). In the context, "injection" refers to the procedure, not the liquid. The sentence says "started with the injection" meaning the administration method. So sense 3 is the best.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 3}
