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

Sentence: 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 <t>injection</t> followed by tablets).

Senses:
1. definition=the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure
2. definition=any solution that is injected (as into the skin)
3. definition=the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe | examples=the nurse gave him a flu shot

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'injection' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

The sentence: "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 <t>injection</t> followed by tablets)."

Senses:
1. the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure
2. any solution that is injected (as into the skin)
3. the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe | examples: the nurse gave him a flu shot

The word "injection" is used twice: "either as injection or as <t>injection</t> followed by tablets". In both cases, it's a medical context. The phrase "as injection" likely means "in the form of an injection" (the act or the solution). Then "as <t>injection</t> followed by tablets" - here it means the treatment is given first as an injection (the act or the solution) and then continued with tablets. The senses: 2 is "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)" - that would be a noun referring to the liquid substance itself. 3 is "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe". In the sentence, "as injection" contrasts with "tablets", so it's about the form of the medication: injection vs oral tablets. So it refers to the dosage form, i.e., the solution that is injected. "As injection" means "as an injectable solution". If it were the act, it would be phrased differently, e.g., "by injection". However, "as injection" is a bit ambiguous. Often in medical texts, "injection" can mean the injectable product. Let's examine: "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." This likely describes the route of administration or dosage form: you can give it as an injectable solution, and then continue with tablets. So it's referring to the substance. Sense 2 says "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)". Sense 3 is "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe". The sentence says "as injection" – if they meant the act, they'd say "by injection" or "via injection". "As injection" strongly implies the form, i.e., the product. So sense 2. Let's double-check: In many dictionaries, sense 2 is the substance. I'll confirm: The word "injection" can mean a drug preparation that is injected. So number 2.

Thus, the answer is

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'tablet' is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "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 <t>tablets</t>)."

We have four senses:
1. a slab of stone or wood suitable for bearing an inscription
2. a number of sheets of paper fastened together along one edge
3. a small flat compressed cake of some substance | examples=a tablet of soap
4. a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet

The word "tablets" in the sentence refers to a form of medication (Cerenia is a veterinary drug). The context: "treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." So it's medicine in pill form. Sense 4 is "a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet". That matches.

Thus answer: 4.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'purpose' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "For these <t>purposes</t>, Cerenia can be given for up to five days"

Senses:
1. an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions
2. what something is used for
3. the quality of being determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose

We need to interpret the sentence. "For these purposes, Cerenia can be given for up to five days." The phrase "for these purposes" means "for these uses" or "for these intended functions". It refers to what Cerenia is used for. So it matches sense 2: "what something is used for". Sense 1 is about an intended outcome guiding actions, but "for these purposes" is idiomatic for "for these uses" or "for these functions". Sense 3 is about determination, clearly not. Thus, the answer is 2.

Senses: [list of 44 senses]"

We need to find the sense that matches "give" in the context: "Cerenia can be given for up to five days". Cerenia is a medication (vet medicine for dogs/cats, antiemetic). So it's about administering a drug. Check the list for a sense that matches giving medicine. Sense 19: "give (as medicine) | examples=I gave him the drug". That exactly fits. So answer is 19.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'day' ... is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "For these purposes, Cerenia can be given for up to five <t>days</t>"

We need to choose from the list of 10 senses. The sentence uses "days" as a unit of time duration: "up to five days". This refers to a 24-hour period, the time it takes for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis. That's sense 1.

Let's check the senses:
1. definition=time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis | examples=two days later they left
2. definition=some point or period in time | examples=it should arrive any day now
3. definition=a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance | examples=Mother's Day
4. definition=the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside | examples=the dawn turned night into day
5. definition=the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working) | examples=my day began early this morning

9. definition=a period of opportunity | examples=he deserves his day in court
10. definition=United States writer best known for his autobiographical works (1874-1935)

Sense 1 is the correct one. The sentence uses "days" as a measure of time (a 24-hour period).

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

Sentence: Cerenia blocks a neurokinin 1 (NK1) <t>receptor</t>, which acts in the central nervous system.

Senses:
1. definition=a cellular structure that is postulated to exist in order to mediate between a chemical agent that acts on nervous tissue and the physiological response
2. definition=an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Cerenia blocks a neurokinin 1 (NK1) <t>receptor</t>, which acts in the central nervous system."

We need to determine which numbered sense of "receptor" applies, from the provided list:

1. definition=a cellular structure that is postulated to exist in order to mediate between a chemical agent that acts on nervous tissue and the physiological response
2. definition=an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation

The sentence mentions "neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor", which is a protein molecule, a cellular structure that binds to a chemical agent (neurokinin/substance P) and mediates a response. It acts in the central nervous system, meaning it's a molecular receptor in cells, not a sensory organ like skin or eyes. So it matches sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

5. definition=learn by reading books | examples=He is studying geology in his room
6. definition=think intently and at length, as for spiritual purposes | examples=He is meditating in his study"

We need to interpret the sentence: "How has Cerenia been studied?" Cerenia is likely a drug (maropitant citrate, an antiemetic for dogs/cats) or something similar. The sentence is asking about how it has been studied, meaning how it has been researched or analyzed scientifically. The verb "studied" here means "subjected to analysis or investigation". That matches sense 1: "consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning". The example given is "analyze a sonnet by Shakespeare", but the definition fits. Sense 2 is about being a student. Sense 3 is "give careful consideration to" (like "consider the possibility"), which might be a possibility but it's more about thinking about something rather than formal research. Sense 4 is "be a student of a certain subject". Sense 5 is "learn by reading books". Sense 6 is "think intently for spiritual purposes". The context "How has Cerenia been studied?" clearly refers to scientific or academic study, i.e., analysis. So the correct sense is 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

10. definition=a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique | examples=a study in spiccato bowing"

We need to pick the correct sense. The sentence refers to "studies with Cerenia" carried out in dogs (laboratory or animal patients). This indicates scientific/clinical studies or research investigations. "Studies" here means research studies, clinical trials, etc. That fits best with sense 3: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" often used as "a study" meaning a research study. However, sense 1 "a detailed critical inspection" might also be close, but "studies" as in scientific studies is typically covered by sense 3. In many dictionary entries, "study" as in a research project/report is like "a piece of research". The given sense 3: "a written document describing the findings..." The sentence says "A large number of studies ... were carried out", so it's the act of conducting research, not the document itself, but the word "study" in plural often refers to research projects. Could be sense 1? "detailed critical inspection" is often synonymous with a study. But sense 1 might be more like "an inspection" (e.g., a study of the problem). Sense 3 emphasizes the written document. However, "studies were carried out" implies the research activity, not just the written document. Let's see the examples for sense 3: "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" – that could refer to the research itself or the paper. In scientific context, "studies" are often referred to both the research and the resulting paper. Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" – an inspection is a careful examination. In research, a study is an investigation. I'd lean towards sense 3 because "studies" in plural often refers to published research or clinical trials. Let me double-check: many WordNet-based sense inventories list "study" as:
- a detailed critical inspection (sense 1: usually "study" as in analysis)
- a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (sense 3: "published study")
Because the sentence says "A large number of studies ... were carried out", it could be sense 1 if "carried out" means they performed inspections. But "studies with Cerenia" – Cerenia is a drug (maropitant) used in veterinary medicine. So these are clinical studies/trials. The phrase "carried out" fits both the research activity and the document (though you carry out a study, you don't carry out a document; you carry out the research). So the sense is the activity of investigating, which aligns more with sense 1? Let's read sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection". Does "study" in scientific research fit "detailed critical inspection"? Yes. However, often in WordNet, the scientific research sense is defined as "a detailed critical inspection" or "a piece of research". The example for sense 3 is "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale", which sounds like a research study. I need to see which sense is intended. Many datasets for word sense disambiguation use WordNet 3.0 or similar. The senses given here look exactly like WordNet's senses for "study" (noun). Let's check WordNet's study noun senses:
1. a detailed critical inspection (synset: survey, study)
2. applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading) (synset: study, work)
3. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (synset: report, study, written report)
4. a state of deep mental absorption (synset: study)
5. a room used for reading and writing and studying (synset: study)
6. a branch of knowledge (synset: discipline, subject, subject area, study)
7. preliminary drawing for later elaboration (synset: sketch, study)
8. attentive consideration and meditation (synset: cogitation, study)
9. someone who memorizes quickly and easily (synset: study)
10. a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique (synset: study)

Now, the sentence: "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises..." This refers to scientific/clinical investigations. In WordNet, the sense "survey, study" is "a detailed critical inspection" often used for scientific studies? For instance, "a study of the phenomenon" would be sense 1. But when we say "a study by Hill and Dale", that is given as an example for sense 3: "a written document...". The example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" suggests that when referring to a specific named study (like "studies with Cerenia"), it's sense 3. Many WSD tasks classify clinical studies as sense 3. However, note that "studies ... were carried out" – "carried out" applies to the research activity, not the document. But we can say "a study was carried out" referring to the research project, and the resulting document is often called the same. In WordNet, the definition "a written document..." is sense 3, but the hypernym is "document". The example "carried out" might conflict. But the example sentence "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" uses "study" as a document (accord with). I recall that in the SemCor corpus and WSD datasets, clinical trials and research studies are often tagged as sense 1 (detailed critical inspection) if they refer to the investigation, and sense 3 if they refer to the publication. Actually, let's check typical usage: "They carried out a study" – usually sense 1 (investigation). "They published a study" – sense 3. The sentence says "A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out..." Here, "studies" refers to the investigations themselves, not the written documents. So it's more likely sense 1.

But wait: "A detailed critical inspection" – does it cover clinical studies? Yes. For example, WordNet gloss: "a detailed critical inspection". The synset includes "survey" and "study". This is often the sense used when you conduct a study. Sense 3 is specifically "a written document describing the findings". If the sentence had "according to a study...", it might be ambiguous. "Carried out" strongly suggests the activity was performed, so it's sense 1. Let's verify if there's any standard mapping. In the Raganato WSD evaluation framework (using WordNet senses), the noun "study" in "studies carried out" would be sense 1 (inspection/investigation). I'm leaning towards sense 1.

But let's read the definitions again carefully:
1. definition=a detailed critical inspection
3. definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale

Note that the example for sense 3 uses "study" as something that accords with something – it's the document. "Carried out" is not typical for a document. You carry out an inspection, an investigation. So it's sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: "A large number of studies with Cerenia were <t>carried out</t> either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA."

Senses provided:
1. definition=put in effect | examples=carry out a task
2. definition=pursue to a conclusion or bring to a successful issue | examples=Did he go through with the treatment?

We need to decide whether "carried out" here aligns more with sense 1 (put in effect) or sense 2 (pursue to a conclusion). Typically, when we talk about studies being "carried out", it means they were conducted or performed. "Put in effect" can mean to execute or perform a plan. Sense 2 "pursue to a conclusion" seems to emphasize finishing or seeing through to the end, but "carry out studies" generally just means to perform them. Checking the examples: sense 1 "carry out a task" is similar to "carry out studies". Sense 2's example "Did he go through with the treatment?" implies completing an action that was possibly in doubt. In the sentence, it's simply stating that studies were performed. So sense 1 is more appropriate.

Thus, answer: 1.

2. definition=a region resembling a laboratory inasmuch as it offers opportunities for observation and practice and experimentation | examples=the new nation is a testing ground for scientific research

Wait, the second sense is "a region resembling a laboratory...". The sentence says "in laboratory dogs". That means dogs that are kept in a laboratory setting, i.e., used for scientific research. The context: studies were carried out either in laboratory dogs (dogs in a research facility) or in animal patients at veterinary practices. So "laboratory" here refers to a workplace for scientific research. Therefore, sense 1 is correct. The answer is 1.

We need to pick which sense matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence uses "several" in "several European countries" meaning an indefinite number more than 2 or 3 but not many. That matches sense 1. Senses 2 and 3 are more archaic or legalistic meanings ("respective", "individual"). So answer is 1.

Senses:
1. financial assistance in time of need
2. something that aids or promotes well-being | examples=for the benefit of all

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "show" is used in: "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?"

Let's look at the sentence. Cerenia is presumably a drug or treatment. The question asks what benefit it has shown during studies. This means what benefit has been demonstrated or proven by evidence from the studies. It's about providing evidence of a benefit (efficacy, etc.).

Let's examine the senses:
1. give an exhibition of to an interested audience (like a dog show) - no.
2. establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment - "The experiment demonstrated the instability..." This could fit: studies demonstrate/show the validity of a benefit. But is it "establish the validity"? The sentence is "What benefit has Cerenia shown", meaning what benefit has it demonstrated/proven? Possibly.
3. provide evidence for - "The blood test showed that he was the father". This is showing evidence for a fact. A study shows evidence for a benefit. This seems close.
4. make visible or noticeable - "She showed her talent for cooking" - Not exactly; it's more about providing evidence.
5. show in or as in a picture - no.
6. give expression to - no.
7. indicate a place, direction - no.
8. be or become visible or noticeable - "His good upbringing really shows" - This is intransitive. But here "show" is transitive: "shown" has object "benefit". So not 8.
9. indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments - no.
10. give evidence of, as of records - "The diary shows his distress..." - records showing evidence. Studies are like records of experiments. This also fits: "The studies show/shown a benefit" meaning provide evidence of.
11. take to seats - no.
12. finish third or better - no.

We need to pick the most appropriate. Distinguishing between 2, 3, 4, 10. In scientific/medical contexts, "show" often means "demonstrate" or "provide evidence for". Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment". Sense 3: "provide evidence for". Sense 10: "give evidence of, as of records".

The sentence: "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?" Typically, in clinical studies, a drug "shows" a benefit meaning it demonstrates/provides evidence of that benefit. Let's look at the examples:
3: "The blood test showed that he was the father" -> providing evidence.
2: "The experiment demonstrated the instability..." -> establishing validity.
10: "The diary shows his distress that evening" -> giving evidence of (a historical record).

Is Cerenia a drug? "during the studies" implies clinical/preclinical studies. The drug shows benefit = provides evidence of benefit. This is very similar to sense 3 or 10. Often in definitions, "demonstrate" is sense 2. But sense 2 explicitly mentions "experiment". Could it be sense 2? "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment". The subject "Cerenia" is the thing being tested; the studies show its benefit. Actually, the sentence is "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?" So Cerenia is the subject, it "shows" benefit. It's not the studies showing, but the drug showing through the studies. That is like "The experiment showed the instability" -> The experiment showed. Here it's "Cerenia showed benefit". Like "The drug showed efficacy". That falls under providing evidence for something. Sense 3: "provide evidence for" - example: "The blood test showed that he was the father". Blood test provided evidence. Cerenia (in studies) provided evidence of benefit.

Alternatively, sense 10: "give evidence of, as of records" - "The diary shows his distress". A diary is a record. Studies produce records? The sentence says "during the studies". So the studies are the context. Likely sense is 2 or 3. Let's check typical dictionary definitions. Merriam-Webster's senses for "show" as transitive verb:
1: to cause or permit to be seen: exhibit.
2: to offer for sale.
3: to present as a public spectacle: perform.
4: to reveal by one's behavior or condition.
5: to give indication or evidence of.
...
Sense 5: to demonstrate or establish by argument or reasoning. (show a plan to be faulty)
Sense 6: to prove.

Often, "show" in research means "demonstrate, provide evidence for". I lean towards sense 3: "provide evidence for" because the sentence is "What benefit has Cerenia shown..." -> "What benefit has it provided evidence for?" It doesn't necessarily mean "establish validity" absolutely, just provided evidence. Also, sense 4: "make visible or noticeable" might work if it's about showing a talent, but here it's about studies, more evidentiary.

Let's check the list again:
1. exhibition
2. establish validity (experiment demonstrated)
3. provide evidence (blood test showed)
4. make visible (showed her talent)
5. picture
6. express (disappointment)
7. indicate place
8. become visible (intransitive)
9. gauge reading
10. give evidence of, as of records (diary shows)
11. usher
12. race

Between 2 and 3:
2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" -> The experiment demonstrated the instability. Here "Cerenia" is the subject, like "the experiment". But Cerenia is a drug, not an experiment. The studies are the experiment. It's a bit of a stretch.
3: "provide evidence for" -> The blood test showed... Here the test shows something. Cerenia shows benefit = provides evidence for benefit. Cerenia's effects provide evidence.
Also, 10 is very similar: "give evidence of, as of records" -> diary shows.
The sentence is about studies, so "show" means to provide evidence from the studies. I'd say 3 is the most direct: "provide evidence for". Let's see if there's any other.

Sometimes "show" in medical context: "Drug X showed a significant reduction in symptoms" = provided evidence of a reduction. This matches sense 3: "provide evidence for". Sense 10: "give evidence of, as of records" is also close but the example is a diary (a record). Studies are also records. But sense 3's example is a blood test, which is a scientific test. So 3 seems more scientific.

I'll go with 3.

Sentence: What benefit has Cerenia shown during the <t>studies</t>?

Senses: ..."

We have a list of definitions. The word is "studies" (plural). The sentence is about "Cerenia" and "studies". Cerenia is a medication (maropitant) used in veterinary medicine for vomiting/motion sickness. So "studies" refers to clinical trials or research studies. Looking at the senses:
1. a detailed critical inspection
2. applying the mind to learning...
3. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (example: this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale)
4. state of deep mental absorption
5. room...
6. branch of knowledge
7. preliminary drawing...
8. attentive consideration...
9. someone who memorizes...
10. composition...

The sentence "What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?" refers to the research studies (clinical studies/trials) that tested the drug. "Studies" here means research investigations. Which sense fits best? Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" could refer to a study. But sense 3 is "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group". However, in the phrase "during the studies", it refers to the research activity or trials, not the written document. "Studies" plural often means systematic investigations. Sense 1: "detailed critical inspection" – that's close to an investigation. But let's check the dictionary source. This list looks like WordNet senses for "study". WordNet senses for "study" as noun:
1. a detailed critical inspection (synonym: survey)
2. applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading)
3. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group
4. a state of deep mental absorption
5. a room used for reading and writing and studying
6. a branch of knowledge
7. preliminary drawing for later elaboration
8. attentive consideration and meditation
9. someone who memorizes quickly and easily
10. a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique

In clinical research, "studies" refers to research studies. Which WordNet sense is that? It's sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection". Often "studies" in a scientific context corresponds to sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" or "investigation". Sense 3 is specifically "a written document". During the studies implies the process, not the document. So sense 1 is more appropriate. Let's confirm: WordNet sense 1: "study, survey" – "a detailed critical inspection". Example: "his study of the problem was thorough." This fits "studies" as investigations/trials. Sense 3 is the report. So I'll go with 1.

4. definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause

We need to match the usage of "results" in the sentence. The sentence talks about "The results of the studies showed that...". Here, "results" refers to the findings or outcomes of the studies. It's the data or conclusions that came out of the studies. Sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" fits: the studies (previous phenomenon) caused the results (phenomenon). Sense 3: "something that results" is very broad and could also fit, but it's essentially the same as sense 1? Let's examine carefully. Sense 1 emphasizes the causal relationship (a phenomenon following and caused by a previous phenomenon). Sense 3: "something that results" - that's essentially a tautology, but the example given: "he listened for the results on the radio" suggests something like election results or sports results, which are outcomes. In many dictionaries, "result" has a meaning akin to "the outcome of an experiment or test", which is exactly sense 1: the phenomenon that follows and is caused by the experiment. Sense 3 might be intended as a more general "something that results", but often dictionaries list "results" (plural) as "the final score or outcome" (like sports results). The example for sense 3: "he listened for the results on the radio" - that sounds like election results or sports scores. In the sentence, "results of the studies" refers to the findings/conclusions that emerged from the studies. That fits sense 1 (a phenomenon that follows and is caused by a previous phenomenon) better: the studies are the cause, the results are the effect. It also fits the scientific context. Sense 2 is about a solution to a problem. Sense 4 is a linguistic/semantic role, not likely in this everyday sentence. So I'd choose sense 1.
But let's double-check: Could it be sense 3? The definition "something that results" is so vague, but often dictionaries distinguish between "result" as an outcome (1) and "result" as the score or answer (like in a competition). The example "he listened for the results on the radio" typically means the announced outcomes of a contest or election, which is a specific kind of result. "Results of the studies" is more like scientific outcomes. I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "The results of the <t>studies</t> 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."

We need to determine which sense of "study" (marked with <t>, here it's "studies") is used. The senses are listed with definitions and examples. We need to return only the number.

Let's analyze the sentence. "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective..." Here, "studies" refers to research investigations or experiments that were conducted to test the effectiveness of Cerenia. The phrase "results of the studies" indicates that these are scientific or clinical studies. Looking at the senses:

1. detailed critical inspection
2. applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading) | mastering a second language requires a lot of work
3. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale
4. state of deep mental absorption
5. a room used for reading and writing and studying
6. branch of knowledge
7. preliminary drawing for later elaboration
8. attentive consideration and meditation
9. someone who memorizes quickly and easily
10. a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique

The context is about a medical study (or studies) comparing Cerenia to a placebo in dogs, looking at vomiting. The word "studies" here refers to the actual research projects or experiments. Sense 3 says "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" and gives example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale". That example is very similar to "The results of the studies showed...". In scientific and academic contexts, "study" often refers to a research paper or a research project, and the word "studies" can refer to the research itself or the published reports of it. Sense 1 is "detailed critical inspection", which could also fit, but the example in sense 3 specifically references "the recent study by Hill and Dale" which is a typical way to refer to a research study. Also, "results of the studies" strongly suggests the findings of a research project or a published paper. So sense 3 seems most appropriate.

Let's double-check: "The results of the studies showed..." – Here "studies" is plural, and it's talking about the outcome of these studies. In a medical context, "studies" are often clinical trials or research projects, and the word can refer to the entire process, but when we talk about "results of the studies", it often refers to the published or documented findings. Sense 3: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" – this fits well.

Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" – that might be more like "a study of the data" where you inspect something carefully. But here, "studies" is a noun referring to the whole research endeavor that produced results.

Therefore, the correct sense is 3.

We need to identify which sense corresponds to "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective...".

The sentence is about study results demonstrating or proving something. Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment". Sense 3: "provide evidence for". Both are close. Sense 3's example: "The blood test showed that he was the father" (providing evidence). Sense 2: "establish the validity". In scientific studies, results "show" something, meaning they demonstrate or provide evidence. Often "show" in this context means "demonstrate" or "indicate". Let's see the exact wording: "establish the validity" vs "provide evidence for". Sense 2 is more about demonstrating the truth of something. Sense 3 is providing evidence. In the sentence, the studies showed effectiveness, meaning the results provided evidence. I think Sense 3 "provide evidence for" is the most direct. The example: "The blood test showed that he was the father" is exactly parallel: a test/study provides evidence for a conclusion. Sense 2 example: "The experiment demonstrated the instability..." could also fit. Which one is more precise? Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment". The word "establish" might imply conclusively proving, while "provide evidence for" might be less absolute. Scientific studies often "show" meaning provide evidence, not necessarily establish absolute validity. Often dictionaries have a sense like "to demonstrate or prove" and another like "to indicate; to make evident". Let's compare the given definitions. Sense 3 is "provide evidence for". Sense 2 is "establish the validity". In context of scientific studies, "showed that Cerenia was more effective" means the studies provided evidence. I'd lean toward 3. But let's check if there's another sense. Sense 10: "give evidence of, as of records" - example: diary shows distress. That's more like displaying evidence. The word "studies showed" is a common phrase meaning "indicated" or "demonstrated". I think sense 3 is the best match: "provide evidence for".

Sentence: The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was <t>more</t> 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.

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

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose which sense of "more" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was <t>more</t> effective than the placebo..."

The two senses given:
1. used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | example: more interesting
2. comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | example: he works more now

In the sentence, "more" is used with the adjective "effective" to form the comparative: more effective. So it matches sense 1: used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs. Sense 2 is for "more" as the comparative of "much", indicating a greater degree or extent of an action, not forming a comparative adjective. So answer is 1.

The sentence: Cerenia was more effective than the placebo in reducing vomiting (both treatment and prevention). This is about a medicine producing the intended result. Sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result..." That fits. Sense 3: "works well as a means or remedy" also fits a medicine. Which one is more precise? Sense 1 says "producing an intended result or having a striking effect." The example is about a motor being effective for transportation. Sense 3 explicitly says "works well as a means or remedy" with example "an effective reprimand". The sentence is about a remedy (medicine) working well. Both 1 and 3 might apply. We need to identify the sense that most closely matches. Often, WordNet senses distinguish these: Sense 1 is generally "effective" as producing an effect. Sense 3 is more like "efficacious" or "works well as a means/remedy". The sentence is about comparing a drug to a placebo; it's a medical context. The definition "works well as a means or remedy" seems tailor-made for a drug. However, note that Sense 2 also says "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively". But the example is about people. The context here is a substance. Sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result" is also fitting. Let's see the precise wording: in WordNet, "effective" has these senses (I recall):
1. effective, effectual, efficacious - producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect.
2. effective, efficient - able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively.
3. effective - works well as a means or remedy.
4. effective, good, in effect, in force - exerting force or influence.
5. effective - existing in fact; not theoretical; real.
6. effective - ready for service.
In medical studies, "effective" typically means "producing a desired effect", often sense 1 or sense 3. The phrase "works well as a means or remedy" is specifically for remedies. The example "an effective reprimand" is a means. For a drug, it's a remedy. So sense 3 is likely the intended one. I'll go with 3.

Senses:
1. an innocuous or inert medication; given as a pacifier or to the control group in experiments on the efficacy of a drug
2. (Roman Catholic Church) vespers of the office for the dead

The sentence discusses a medical study (dogs, vomiting, medicine vs placebo). This clearly refers to sense 1. The answer should be "1".

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'less' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: <t>less</t> 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."

Senses:
1. (comparative of 'little' usually used with mass nouns) a quantifier meaning not as great in amount or degree | examples=of less importance
2. (usually preceded by 'no') lower in quality | examples=no less than perfect
3. (nonstandard in some uses but often idiomatic with measure phrases) fewer | examples=less than three weeks

We need to determine which sense "less" fits in the sentence. "less vomiting" - vomiting is an uncountable (mass) noun here, meaning the amount or frequency of vomiting. So it's "not as great in amount". Sense 1 fits: comparative of 'little' used with mass nouns, quantifier meaning not as great in amount or degree. Sense 3 refers to "fewer" which is used with countable nouns. While some might use "less" with countables (nonstandard), here "vomiting" is treated as a mass noun. So the answer is 1.

Thus, the output should be just "1".

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'see' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was <t>seen</t> in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting."

We need to choose from the list of senses. The word is "seen" (past participle of "see"). The phrase is "less vomiting was seen in dogs..." meaning "less vomiting was observed/noticed/recorded". In scientific or formal contexts, "was seen" often means "was observed". Looking at the senses, which one best fits this meaning?

1. perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight
2. perceive (an idea or situation) mentally
3. perceive or be contemporaneous with
4. imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind
5. deem to be
6. get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally
7. see or watch
8. come together
9. find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort
10. be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something
11. go to see for professional or business reasons
12. go to see for a social visit
13. go to see a place, as for entertainment
14. take charge of or deal with
15. receive as a specified guest
16. date regularly
17. see and understand, have a good eye
18. deliberate or decide
19. observe as if with an eye (e.g., The camera saw the burglary and recorded it)
20. observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect
21. go or live through
22. accompany or escort
23. match or meet
24. make sense of; assign a meaning to

The sense needed is "observed" or "noticed" in the context of a study. Sense 1 is "perceive by sight", but here the vomiting is recorded as data; it's not about the power of sight. Sense 6 "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" – here it's not accidental, it's observed in a study. Sense 20 "observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect" – this fits "observed" but it's about careful inspection. However, in scientific writing, "was seen" is a passive construction meaning "was observed" or "was found". It often corresponds to sense 1 broadly (perceive by sight) or sense 19 "observe as if with an eye" (like a camera saw it). But let's check typical dictionary definitions. "See" meaning "to observe, find out, or ascertain" often falls under "perceive with the eyes" or "discern". If we look at WordNet or similar, there might be a sense: "observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect" (sense 20) implies active inspection. "less vomiting was seen" means the researchers observed it, they perceived it with their eyes or through data. Sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight". That's the basic sense, and it fits: the researchers perceived less vomiting by sight (by looking at the data/dogs). In many datasets, "see" in passive like "was seen" maps to sense 1. However, let's see if there's a better one. Sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" has example "I learned that she has two grown-up children". Not accidental here. Sense 19: "observe as if with an eye" – "The camera saw the burglary and recorded it". This fits the abstracted sense: the study "saw" the vomiting. But the sentence is passive: "less vomiting was seen" – it's an event that was observed. I'd lean toward sense 1 as the primary sense of "perceive by sight". In scientific writing, "seen" is often just the standard sense of "perceive". But let's double-check: Sometimes dictionaries have a specific sense for "find out, learn, ascertain" (sense 9). However, sense 9 says "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort" – example: "I want to see whether she speaks French". That's "see" as in "ascertain". Here "less vomiting was seen" means "less vomiting was observed/found". That's close to "determine with certainty". But the example "I want to see whether she speaks French" is active, intentional. Sense 6 is "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" – "I learned that she...". That's often rendered as "I saw that..." but here it's passive. I think the most straightforward is Sense 1: perceive by sight. But let's examine the exact wording: "less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine". Does this mean someone physically watched the dogs and saw them vomit less? Yes, it's an observation. Many scientific papers use "seen" synonymously with "observed". That aligns with Sense 1. Could it be Sense 20? "observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect" – The customs agent examined the baggage. That implies a detailed inspection, which isn't exactly the case for counting vomiting occurrences. Sense 19: "observe as if with an eye" – The camera saw the burglary. That's a passive observation by a non-living entity, which might fit the study as a whole, but the sentence is "was seen by researchers" implicitly. I think Sense 1 is the primary.

We need to output only the number. I'll pick 1.

Sentence: "The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the <t>medicine</t> than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting."

We have senses:
1. the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques
2. (medicine) something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease
3. the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school and that is devoted to preventing or alleviating or curing diseases and injuries | examples=he studied medicine at Harvard
4. punishment for one's actions | examples=you have to face the music

The word "medicine" in the sentence refers to Cerenia, which is a drug given to dogs to treat/prevent vomiting. So it is a substance that treats or prevents symptoms of disease. That matches sense 2. Sense 1 is the field of medical science (nonsurgical techniques), sense 3 is the profession, sense 4 is idiomatic "face the music" meaning punishment. So answer is 2.

The sentence is: "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 <t>dogs</t> that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting."

The word in question is "dogs", which is plural of "dog". The context clearly refers to the animal, as it's about veterinary medicine for vomiting in dogs. Sense 1 is: "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". That matches the animal. Other senses refer to people, sausage, mechanical parts, etc. So the correct sense is 1.

Sentence: "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 <t>treatment</t> or in the prevention of vomiting."

Let's look at the context. The sentence talks about a medicine (Cerenia) that is effective against vomiting. It says "both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting". The word "treatment" here refers to the medical care or procedure to relieve illness (vomiting). It is sense 1: "care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)".

Thus the answer is 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'start' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "The treatment of a vomiting dog should be <t>started</t> with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again)."

We have senses 1-14.

Let's analyze the sentence. "The treatment ... should be started with the injection." This means the treatment should begin by administering the injection, as the first step. The verb "start" here is used in the sense of "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action." Looking at the senses:

1. definition=take the first step or steps in carrying out an action | examples=We began working at dawn
   This fits perfectly: "started" with the injection means begin the treatment by giving the injection. "Take the first step in carrying out an action."

Let's check other senses to be sure:
2. set in motion, cause to start: "The U.S. started a war" - This is more about causing something to start, often something large. The treatment is started, we're not causing the treatment to start another thing; we are beginning the treatment.
3. leave - no.
4. have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense - This is intransitive: "The DMZ begins..." Sentence is transitive passive: "should be started".
5. bring into being - "initiated a new program" - This is about creating something new. Treatment is not newly created; it's an action being begun.
6. get off the ground - "Who started this company?" - founding, establishing.
7. move or jump suddenly - no.
8. get going or set in motion - "start the engine" - similar to 2, but again the treatment is not a machine being set in motion; it's an action being begun.
9. begin or set in motion - "I start at eight" - intransitive, work schedule.
10. begin work or acting... - "Take up a position" - no.
11. play in the starting lineup - no.
12. have a beginning characterized... - "The novel begins with a murder" - intransitive, similar to 4 but with a specification. Our sentence is passive: "treatment should be started with the injection". But we could also interpret it as "The treatment begins with the injection", which is sense 12? Wait, sense 12 is "have a beginning characterized in some specified way", and the example is "The novel begins with a murder". That's intransitive. Our sentence uses "be started", which is the passive form of the transitive verb. However, sometimes transitive uses correspond to intransitive senses when passivized. Let's see sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action." That is transitive: "We began working" or "We started the treatment". In the passive: "The treatment was started." The semantic role of the subject in "The treatment was started" is the action being begun. "Start" in sense 1 often takes a gerund or an action noun: "start the treatment". Sense 12 is about the thing itself having a beginning characterized in some way: "The novel begins with a murder" -> "The novel is begun with a murder"? That's less common, but possible. But typically, when we say "treatment should be started with the injection", we mean "one should start the treatment with the injection", meaning "take the first step in the treatment by giving the injection." This aligns with sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action". The action is "treatment" or the implied gerund "treating". "Start treating by injecting." Sense 1 explicitly says "take the first step in carrying out an action."

Sense 12: "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" is more about the nature of the beginning itself, e.g., "The novel begins with a murder" describes the content of the beginning. "The treatment begins with an injection" also fits, but the verb in the sentence is passive transitive: "should be started". The sense list often distinguishes between transitive and intransitive senses. Sense 1 is transitive ("take the first step" - you take the step, so the subject is the agent). The passive version corresponds to that. Sense 4: "have a beginning" is intransitive; sense 12 is also intransitive. Since the sentence uses "be started" (passive of transitive), it's more likely the transitive sense 1.

Also, "should be started" implies an agent is expected to start it. That's sense 1.

Thus, I'll go with 1.
