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

Sentence: Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the <t>new</t> findings.

Senses:
1. not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered (e.g., a new law)
2. original and of a kind not seen before (e.g., the computer produced a completely novel proof...)
3. lacking training or experience
4. having no previous example or precedent or parallel
5. other than the former one(s); different
6. unaffected by use or exposure
7. (of a new kind or fashion) gratuitously new
8. in use after medieval times
9. used of a living language; being the current stage in its development
10. (of crops) harvested at an early stage of development
11. unfamiliar

The phrase is "new findings". Findings are discovered things. "New findings" means recently discovered findings. Sense 1 is "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered". That matches "new findings" as recently discovered findings.

Sense 11 is "unfamiliar" - but "new findings" are recently discovered, not necessarily unfamiliar to the beneficiaries if they are among the first beneficiaries. But sense 1 explicitly includes "discovered". So sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new <t>findings</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation | examples=the determination of molecular structures
2. definition=the decision of a court on issues of fact or law
3. definition=something that is found | examples=the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "finding" (or "findings") is used in the sentence: "Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings."

The word is "findings", which is the plural of "finding". The senses listed are:
1. the act of determining the properties of something, usually by research or calculation (e.g., the determination of molecular structures)
2. the decision of a court on issues of fact or law
3. something that is found (e.g., the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner)

In the sentence, "findings" likely refers to something that has been discovered or determined, probably by research or investigation, and Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are benefiting from them. It doesn't refer to a court decision, and it's not the act of determining properties (that would be "determination" as an act, but "findings" as a noun usually means the results or things found). Sense 3 says "something that is found". This fits: the new findings are things that have been found/discovered. Sense 1 is the act, which is typically singular or used as a gerund, but here "findings" is plural and refers to things that are found or discovered. Sense 3 is the most common for "findings" meaning discoveries or results.

Check: In the example for sense 3: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate...", that's a medical or scientific finding. So sense 3 is "something that is found". The sentence says "beneficiaries of the new findings", meaning they benefit from the results/discoveries. So it's sense 3.

Thus, the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: The Dedham, Mass., <t>couple</t> knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births.

Senses:
1. definition=a pair who associate with one another | examples=the engaged couple
2. definition=a pair of people who live together | examples=a married couple from Chicago
3. definition=a small indefinite number | examples=he's coming for a couple of days
4. definition=two items of the same kind
5. definition=(physics) something joined by two equal and opposite forces that act along parallel lines

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which numbered sense of "couple" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "The Dedham, Mass., <t>couple</t> knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma..." Here, "couple" refers to two people (likely a married pair or a pair in a relationship) who knew something. Looking at the senses:

1. a pair who associate with one another | examples=the engaged couple
2. a pair of people who live together | examples=a married couple from Chicago
3. a small indefinite number | examples=he's coming for a couple of days
4. two items of the same kind
5. (physics) something joined by two equal and opposite forces that act along parallel lines

In the sentence, "The Dedham, Mass., couple" indicates two people, likely a married or cohabiting couple, from Dedham, Massachusetts. The senses 1 and 2 are close. Sense 1: "a pair who associate with one another" with example "the engaged couple". Sense 2: "a pair of people who live together" with example "a married couple from Chicago". The phrase "Dedham, Mass., couple" is similar to "a married couple from Chicago" – it's a pair of people identified by their location. They "knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987" – they are likely married or in a long-term relationship, possibly living together. Sense 2 specifies "live together", but does the sentence necessarily imply living together? It says "couple" as a unit that knew something. Typically, when referring to a "couple" from a place, especially in news articles, it means a married or cohabiting pair. Sense 2's example exactly matches the structure: "a married couple from Chicago". So sense 2 seems more precise. However, we should check which sense is more appropriate. The sentence doesn't explicitly state they are married or living together, but the term "couple" in this context (a couple from Dedham) typically means a romantic pair who are partners. Sense 1 says "associate with one another", which is broader, but the example "engaged couple" suggests a romantic pair that isn't necessarily living together. Sense 2 specifically says "pair of people who live together" with example "a married couple from Chicago". That example is almost identical to the given phrase. I'd lean towards sense 2. But let's consider if they are necessarily living together. Often "couple" in news reporting for a man and a woman expecting a child (she became pregnant) implies they are a couple living together or married. It's safe to choose sense 2 as it aligns with the example. The answer should be just the number: 2.

We need to analyze the sentence: "The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma..."

The couple knew a fact: "that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma". This is a piece of information they possessed. They were aware of this fact. So it matches sense 1: be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about. Example given: "I know that the President lied to the people" uses the same structure "know that ...".

Sense 3 is similar: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". But the sentence is about possessing information about a genetic risk, not necessarily a belief/faith beyond any doubt. It's a factual piece of information they were aware of. So sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus, the correct answer is 1.

Sentence: The Dedham, Mass., couple knew <t>even</t> before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births.

2. definition=in spite of; notwithstanding | examples=even when he is sick, he works

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "even" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "The Dedham, Mass., couple knew <t>even</t> before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births."

We need to return only the number of the correct sense from the provided list.

First, analyze the sentence. The phrase is "knew even before Bonnie became pregnant". "Even" is modifying the time adverbial clause "before Bonnie became pregnant". It emphasizes that the knowledge existed prior to that event. This usage indicates that the knowledge was held as early as that time, perhaps highlighting that it was earlier than one might expect. Let's look at the senses:

1. "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected | examples=even an idiot knows that" – This sense is used to stress a particular extreme or surprising case. "even an idiot knows that" suggests that it's so obvious that even the least likely person would know. In our sentence, "even before Bonnie became pregnant" could be seen as stressing the early time as surprising or unexpected: they knew at that early point. It intensifies the time adverbial.

2. "in spite of; notwithstanding | examples=even when he is sick, he works" – This sense is about contrast or concession. "Even when he is sick" means despite being sick. The sentence would mean "He works in spite of being sick." In our sentence, there is no contrast or concession of that sort. It doesn't mean "in spite of before becoming pregnant". So this doesn't fit.

3. "to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | examples=looked sick and felt even worse" – This is comparative. "even worse" compares to a previous state. The sentence does not have a comparative structure. Not this.

4. "to the full extent | examples=loyal even unto death" – This means up to the extreme limit. "loyal even unto death" means loyal to the utmost extent, i.e., death. In the sentence, "even before Bonnie became pregnant" could be interpreted as extending the time backward to the full extent of that time? "Even before" means something like "already by that early time". It's similar to the intensive sense, but "to the full extent" often deals with scales or extremes (like death). The example "loyal even unto death" uses "even unto" which is archaic or formal. "Even before" is more like "as early as". It doesn't quite mean "to the full extent of before".

The most fitting sense is 1: used as an intensive to indicate something unexpected or to emphasize a particular point. They knew as early as before the pregnancy – that might be unexpected or emphasized. It's the intensive use. Similarly, "even before" = "already before" is emphasized with "even".

Thus, the answer is 1.

2. definition=at or in the front | examples=I see the lights of a town ahead

We need to choose the correct sense. The word "before" here is used in a temporal sense: "knew even before Bonnie became pregnant" means they knew at a time earlier than her pregnancy. This matches sense 1: "earlier in time; previously". Sense 2 is spatial: "at or in the front", not applicable. So answer is 1.

4. definition=enhance the appearance of | examples=Mourning becomes Electra

We need to identify which sense fits "became pregnant". "Became pregnant" means she entered the state of being pregnant. That is "enter or assume a certain state or condition". Sense 1. "He became annoyed" is a parallel. Sense 2 is "undergo a change or development" but "pregnant" is a state, not a change into something else like water into ice. Also, the example for 1 is directly about becoming + adjective ("annoyed"), just like "pregnant". So sense 1 is correct.

In the sentence, "any child of theirs" refers to their offspring (son or daughter). The sentence talks about the genetic risk for their child. It's not about a young person (age-specific) because it's any child born to them, regardless of age. So sense 2 is the correct one.

5. the possibility of future success

In the sentence, "chance" is used as "a 50% chance", which means a probability or likelihood of an event occurring. The phrase "a 50% chance of being at risk" indicates a statistical probability. This matches sense 4: "a measure of how likely it is that some event will occur; a number expressing the ratio...". Sense 3 says "a risk involving danger", but here it's specifically a numerical probability, not just a general risk. Sense 4 is the best fit.

2. definition=come to one's mind; suggest itself | examples=It occurred to me that we should hire another secretary
3. definition=to be found to exist | examples=sexism occurs in many workplaces

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage of "occurs" in the sentence. The sentence says "an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births." This means the cancer happens or is found to exist at that rate. "Come to pass" means happen. "To be found to exist" also fits. Let's compare: Sense 1 "come to pass" (happen). Sense 3 "to be found to exist". In the context of a disease occurring with a certain frequency, "occur" often means "to happen" or "to be found to exist". Both could be possible. But typically, for medical conditions, "occur" means "to happen" or "to be present". Let's see examples: "What is happening?" is given for sense 1. Sense 3 example: "sexism occurs in many workplaces" – that's about existence. The sentence says "occurs about once every 20,000 births," which is an event happening. "Come to pass" is more event-like. "To be found to exist" is more about prevalence. In medical statistics, "occurs in X per Y births" is a typical phrasing for incidence, meaning "happens". But "to be found to exist" also works. Looking closely, many dictionaries define "occur" as 1. happen; take place. 2. exist or be found. The example for 3 is "sexism occurs in many workplaces" which is a state, not an event counted per births. The sentence is counting occurrences per births, so it's an event. So sense 1 "come to pass" is likely. But let's check: "an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births." It's an event of a baby being born with that cancer. So it comes to pass. I'd pick 1.

But let's be absolutely sure. Sense 3: "to be found to exist" – "sexism occurs in many workplaces" means sexism exists in many workplaces. If we say "cancer occurs in 1 out of 20,000 births," it could be interpreted as "is found to exist in 1 out of 20,000 births." Both 1 and 3 are very close. However, the presence of a frequency ("about once every 20,000 births") indicates an event happening. Typically, sense 1 is for events, sense 3 is for existence. I'll go with 1. But let's think if any dictionary might consider it sense 3. Merriam-Webster's senses: 1: to be found or met with: appear (e.g., birds occur in this area); 2: to come into existence: happen (e.g., an accident occurred); 3: to come to mind. The phrase "occurs about once every 20,000 births" sounds like "happens". Actually, MW has "occur" intransitive verb: 1: to be found or met with : APPEAR. 2: to come into existence : HAPPEN. 3: to come to mind. Their example for 1 is "The disease occurs in all parts of the world." That's exactly about existence. Their example for 2 is "The accident occurred at 5 p.m." So "an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births" could be either. The rate "once every 20,000 births" suggests an event happening per birth, so it's more like happening. But MW's sense 1 includes "The disease occurs in all parts of the world" – that's prevalence, not incidence. "Occurs once every 20,000 births" is incidence, i.e., happening. Many dictionaries would classify this as "happen". Let's see the given senses: 1: come to pass (What is happening?) – that's happen. 3: to be found to exist (sexism occurs in many workplaces) – that's exist. Cancer occurring in births: each case is an event where a baby is born with cancer. It comes to pass. So I'll choose 1.

But let's double-check: sometimes "occur" in medical contexts means "to be found". But the example for 3 is "sexism occurs in many workplaces" which is a continuous state, not an event with a rate. So I think 1 is better. The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: "The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs <t>about</t> once every 20,000 births."

We need to pick the sense from the list. The word "about" here modifies "once every 20,000 births," meaning approximately once every 20,000 births. So it indicates an imprecise quantity. That matches sense 1: "definition=(of quantities) imprecise but fairly close to correct | examples=lasted approximately an hour".

Let's check other senses to confirm:
2: all around or on all sides - no.
3: in the area or vicinity - no.
4: movement to or among many different places - no.
5: reversed position or direction - no.
6: in rotation or succession - no.
7: slightly short of or not quite accomplished - no.

Sense 1 is the correct one.

Thus the answer is 1.

Sentence: The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about <t>once</t> every 20,000 births.

Senses:
1. definition=on one occasion | examples=once I ran into her
2. definition=as soon as | examples=once we are home, we can rest
3. definition=at a previous time | examples=at one time he loved her

We need to match the usage of "once" in the sentence to one of these three sense definitions.

In the sentence: "occurs about once every 20,000 births." Here "once" means "one time" in the frequency expression "once every 20,000 births". It indicates the rate: one occurrence per 20,000 births. This matches sense 1: "on one occasion" (though here it's used in a frequency context, it's fundamentally the meaning "one time"). Sense 2 is a conjunction meaning "as soon as". Sense 3 is "at a previous time", as in "formerly". Neither fits.

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 <t>births</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the time when something begins (especially life) | examples=they divorced after the birth of the child
2. definition=the event of being born | examples=they celebrated the birth of their first child
3. definition=the process of giving birth
4. definition=the kinship relation of an offspring to the parents
5. definition=a baby born; an offspring | examples=the overall rate of incidence of Down's syndrome is one in every 800 births

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and multiple senses of "birth" marked with numbers. We need to determine which numbered sense corresponds to the usage in the sentence and only return the number.

The sentence: "The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 <t>births</t>."

We need to look at the word "births" in "<t>births</t>". In context: "an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births." This is a statistical rate: number of occurrences per number of births. Here, "births" refers to the event of being born, counting each instance a baby is born. For example, "one in every 800 births" means out of 800 babies born.

Now examine the senses:

1. the time when something begins (especially life) | examples: they divorced after the birth of the child
   - This focuses on the time/beginning.
2. the event of being born | examples: they celebrated the birth of their first child
   - This is the event of a baby being born. In statistics, "per 20,000 births" means per 20,000 occurrences of the event of being born.
3. the process of giving birth
   - This focuses on the mother's labor/delivery process.
4. the kinship relation of an offspring to the parents
   - Relation, e.g., "of noble birth".
5. a baby born; an offspring | examples: the overall rate of incidence of Down's syndrome is one in every 800 births
   - This refers to the baby itself. The example exactly matches our context: "rate of incidence ... is one in every 800 births". So "births" here means the offspring, the baby born. Sense 5 definition: "a baby born; an offspring". The example provided: "the overall rate of incidence of Down's syndrome is one in every 800 births." This is virtually identical to the usage in the sentence: "an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births." So sense 5 is a perfect match. Sense 2 is "the event of being born", but in the context of rates, "births" usually means the number of babies born (offspring), not just the event. Although sometimes they are interchangeable, the presence of an exact matching example for sense 5 makes it clear that sense 5 is intended. Let's read the example for 5 again: "the overall rate of incidence of Down's syndrome is one in every 800 births." That is exactly the same construction. So the correct sense is 5.

Therefore, the answer is 5.

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

Sentence: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, <t>knew</t> he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby."

We need to identify the correct sense among the 11 given definitions. The word "knew" is used in the clause "knew he carried a damaged gene". This means he was aware of a fact (that he carried a damaged gene). Let's check the definitions:

1. definition=be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | examples=I know that the President lied to the people
2. definition=know how to do or perform something | examples=She knows how to knit
3. definition=be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt | examples=I know that I left the key on the table
4. definition=be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object | examples=She doesn't know this composer
5. definition=have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations | examples=I know the feeling!
6. definition=accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority | examples=The Crown Prince was acknowledged as the true heir to the throne

9. definition=know the nature or character of | examples=we all knew her as a big show-off
10. definition=be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | examples=The child knows right from wrong
11. definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

The sense here is "be aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge about", which is exactly definition 1. Definition 3 is similar: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". The distinction: sense 1 is simply being cognizant of a fact; sense 3 emphasizes belief/faith. The sentence says "knew he carried a damaged gene" - he possessed the information about the gene, likely from genetic testing or medical knowledge. It's a factual awareness, not just belief. But let's see which one matches better. Typically, "know that..." for factual information falls under 1. The example for 1 is "I know that the President lied to the people" (factual awareness). The example for 3 is "I know that I left the key on the table" (also factual). They overlap. But in many such word sense disambiguation tasks, sense 1 is the basic "know that" factual knowledge. Sense 3 adds "have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt" which might apply to things like "I know God exists." The sentence is a straightforward statement of awareness of a medical fact. So 1 is most appropriate. Also, the definition of 1 specifically says "possess knowledge or information about". The sentence: "knew he carried a damaged gene" - he possessed that information. Therefore, I'll answer 1.

The context is "carried a damaged gene". A gene is something inherent, a characteristic feature you possess within your body.

Looking at sense 18: "have as an inherent or characteristic feature or have as a consequence" | examples=This new washer carries a two year guarantee.
This matches well: having a damaged gene as an inherent feature.

Could it be sense 7: "contain or hold; have within"? Example: "The jar carries wine." That could also apply: the body contains the gene.

Sense 10: "be necessarily associated with or result in or involve". Example: "This crime carries a penalty of five years in prison". It could be argued that having a damaged gene might carry risks, but the sentence says "knew he carried a damaged gene", meaning he possesses it.

Sense 21: "have or possess something abstract" – example: "I carry her image in my mind's eye." A gene is not abstract; it's a physical piece of DNA.

Sense 18 is specifically "have as an inherent or characteristic feature", and genes are inherent features. Some dictionaries might also list "carry a gene" under a specific biological definition, but here sense 18 seems closest.

Let's verify if there is a more specific sense.
Senses:
7. contain or hold; have within – The jar carries wine.
18. have as an inherent or characteristic feature or have as a consequence – This new washer carries a two year guarantee.

Carrying a gene is indeed having it as an inherent characteristic feature. Many dictionary definitions of "carry" for genes fall under "to have as an attribute or accompanying feature" or "to possess (a gene)". In this list, 18 is the best match.

Thus, I will answer 18.

Sentence: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a <t>damaged</t> gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby."

Senses:
1. definition=harmed or injured or spoiled | examples=I won't buy damaged goods
2. definition=being unjustly brought into disrepute | examples=a discredited politician

We need to determine which sense of "damaged" is used here. The word "damaged" is used to modify "gene" in the phrase "damaged gene". This refers to a gene that is harmed or injured, i.e., not functioning properly, which aligns with sense 1: harmed or injured. Sense 2 is about disrepute, which doesn't fit a gene. So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having <t>lost</t> an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby."

We need to match the usage "lost" (past tense of lose) with one of the given senses.

Analyzing the sentence: "having lost an eye to the rare tumor" means he suffered the loss of an eye due to the tumor. That is, he no longer has that eye; it was removed or destroyed by the tumor. So it's a physical loss of a body part. Which sense matches?

Let's examine the senses:

1. definition=fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense | examples=She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat
2. definition=fail to win | examples=We lost the battle but we won the war
3. definition=suffer the loss of a person through death or removal | examples=She lost her husband in the war
4. definition=place (something) where one cannot find it again | examples=I misplaced my eyeglasses
5. definition=miss from one's possessions; lose sight of | examples=I've lost my glasses again!
6. definition=allow to go out of sight | examples=The detective lost the man he was shadowing after he had to stop at a red light
7. definition=fail to make money in a business; make a loss or fail to profit | examples=I lost thousands of dollars on that bad investment!
8. definition=fail to get or obtain | examples=I lost the opportunity to spend a year abroad
9. definition=retreat
10. definition=fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind | examples=I missed that remark
11. definition=be set at a disadvantage | examples=This author really suffers in translation

The closest is sense 1: "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense". Losing an eye is ceasing to have it physically. Sense 3 is about persons (through death or removal). Sense 5 is "miss from one's possessions; lose sight of" but that's more about misplacing. Sense 4 is misplacing. So sense 1 fits best: he ceased to have the eye.

Thus the answer is 1.

We need to match the usage of "only" in "only two months old" to one of the provided senses. Let's examine the senses:

1. definition=and nothing more | examples=I was merely asking
2. definition=without any others being included or involved | examples=was entirely to blame
3. definition=with nevertheless the final result | examples=He arrived only to find his wife dead
4. definition=in the final outcome | examples=These news will only make you more upset
5. definition=except that | examples=It was the same story; only this time she came out better
6. definition=never except when | examples=call me only if your cold gets worse
7. definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago

In the phrase "only two months old", "only" emphasizes how young he was. It means something like "merely" or "as recently as" two months old? Actually, "only" with an age often means "no more than" or "merely", stressing the smallness of the number. Sense 1 is "and nothing more", example "I was merely asking". That fits: he was merely two months old. But let's check sense 7: "as recently as", example "I spoke to him only an hour ago." That also works for time expressions: "only two months old" means he was as young as two months old. Which one is more precise?

In linguistics, "only" in temporal expressions like "only two months old" can be interpreted as a scalar focus particle meaning "no more than". Sense 1: "and nothing more" / "merely". Sense 7: "as recently as" is specifically for recent time. "Two months old" is an age, not necessarily "recently" in the temporal sense relative to now. The sentence is about a past event (when he was two months old). "Only" there emphasizes the tender age, not that it happened recently. So "merely" (sense 1) seems more fitting. But let's consider typical dictionary definitions for "only" used with an age: "He was only two months old" means "He was no more than two months old." That aligns with "and nothing more" (sense 1). Sense 7 would be if it said "He lost his eye only two months ago" or something. So I'll go with sense 1.

Double-check: Is there any other possibility? Sense 6: "never except when"? No. So I'm confident it's sense 1.

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

Sentence: Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his <t>mother</t> had suffered the same fate when she was a baby.

Senses:
1. definition=a woman who has given birth to a child (also used as a term of address to your mother) | examples=the mother of three children
2. definition=a stringy slimy substance consisting of yeast cells and bacteria; forms during fermentation and is added to cider or wine to produce vinegar
3. definition=a term of address for an elderly woman
4. definition=a term of address for a mother superior
5. definition=a condition that is the inspiration for an activity or situation | examples=necessity is the mother of invention

reasoning_content:
We need to find which sense of "mother" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his <t>mother</t> had suffered the same fate when she was a baby." The word "mother" here is clearly referring to his female parent. Look at the available senses:

1. definition=a woman who has given birth to a child (also used as a term of address to your mother) | examples=the mother of three children
2. definition=a stringy slimy substance consisting of yeast cells and bacteria; forms during fermentation and is added to cider or wine to produce vinegar
3. definition=a term of address for an elderly woman
4. definition=a term of address for a mother superior
5. definition=a condition that is the inspiration for an activity or situation | examples=necessity is the mother of invention

Clearly, sense 1 fits: his mother, meaning the woman who gave birth to him. So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had <t>suffered</t> the same fate when she was a baby.

Senses:
1. definition=undergo or be subjected to | examples=He suffered the penalty

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

Sentence: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had <t>suffered</t> the same fate when she was a baby."

We need to look at the senses provided.

Senses:
1. definition=undergo or be subjected to | examples=He suffered the penalty
2. definition=undergo (as of injuries and illnesses) | examples=She suffered a fracture in the accident
3. definition=experience (emotional) pain | examples=Every time her husband gets drunk, she suffers

9. definition=be given to | examples=She suffers from a tendency to talk too much
10. definition=undergo or suffer | examples=meet a violent death
11. definition=be set at a disadvantage | examples=This author really suffers in translation

In the sentence: "his mother had suffered the same fate" – fate refers to losing an eye to the rare tumor. So she experienced a similar fate. "Suffered" here is used transitively with "the same fate" as object, meaning she underwent or experienced that fate. Let's check the senses.

Sense 2: "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses) | examples=She suffered a fracture in the accident." This matches closely: she suffered a fate, where the fate is an injury/illness (losing an eye to a tumor). Sense 1 is "undergo or be subjected to", example "He suffered the penalty". Could be a candidate, but "penalty" is not an injury/illness. The sentence describes a medical condition. So sense 2 is more specific: injuries and illnesses. The mother lost an eye to a tumor, which is an illness/injury. So sense 2 fits perfectly. Let's see if any other sense fits. Sense 10: "undergo or suffer", example "meet a violent death". That could also fit, but 2 is specifically "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)". The phrase "suffered the same fate" means she underwent the loss of an eye. That is an injury/illness. Sense 2 seems best. Also, the example "She suffered a fracture" is structurally similar to "suffered the same fate" where fate = loss of eye.

Thus, the correct sense number is 2.

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

Sentence: Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the <t>same</t> fate when she was a baby.

Senses:
1. definition=same in identity | examples=the same man I saw yesterday
2. definition=closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree | examples=curtains the same color as the walls
3. definition=equal in amount or value | examples=like amounts
4. definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "same" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby."

The word "same" modifies "fate". It refers to the fate of losing an eye to the rare tumor as a baby.

Let's look at the senses:
1. same in identity (the same man I saw yesterday) - This implies identical entity.
2. closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree (curtains the same color as the walls) - This means similar in kind/quality, not identical instance.
3. equal in amount or value (like amounts) - This refers to quantity/value.
4. unchanged in character or nature (the village stayed the same) - This means a single thing that hasn't changed over time.

In the sentence, "the same fate" means the identical kind of fate (losing an eye to the rare tumor as a baby), but it's not the identical instance of the fate (it happened to his mother, and then to him; it's the same type of fate, not literally the same event/token). It's closely similar or comparable in kind. "Fate" here is an abstract concept. If I said "he suffered the same injury," it would mean an injury of the same kind. This matches sense 2: "closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree". Sense 1 is about identical entity (the same man). Sense 3 is about amount/value. Sense 4 is about one thing unchanged. So sense 2 is correct.

Number: 2

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

Sentence: Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same <t>fate</t> when she was a baby.

Senses:
1. definition=an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future
2. definition=the ultimate agency regarded as predetermining the course of events (often personified as a woman) | examples=we are helpless in the face of destiny
3. definition=your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you) | examples=whatever my fortune may be

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same <t>fate</t> when she was a baby."

We need to determine which sense of "fate" (from the provided numbered list) is used. The word is tagged with <t>fate</t>.

The three senses:
1. an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future
2. the ultimate agency regarded as predetermining the course of events (often personified as a woman) | examples: we are helpless in the face of destiny
3. your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you) | examples: whatever my fortune may be

In the sentence, "fate" refers to his mother having suffered the same thing: losing an eye to the rare tumor when she was a baby. This is a specific event that happened to her. It's not an agency (sense 2) nor an overall condition in life (sense 3). It is something that happened inevitably? Wait, "having suffered the same fate" means she experienced the same outcome or misfortune. Does it imply inevitability? Sense 1 says "an event ... that will inevitably happen". The context is about a damaged gene, so the tumor is due to genetics, perhaps making it seem inevitable. But "suffered the same fate" is a common idiom meaning "experienced the same thing (usually a bad outcome)". The word "fate" here refers to the outcome (losing an eye to the tumor), which is an event that happened. However, sense 1 emphasizes "inevitably happen in the future", which might not be the primary meaning here. Sense 3 says "your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you)". But this is a specific event (losing an eye), not an overall condition. The phrase "suffered the same fate" typically aligns with the idea of a destined outcome or just the outcome itself. Among these, sense 1 fits best: an event that happened, with an implication of inevitability because of the genetic factor? Actually, the phrase "suffered the same fate" often means "met the same end" or "experienced the same unfortunate event". It doesn't necessarily require the "inevitable" aspect, but sense 1 is the closest because it's an event that happened. Could it be sense 3? No, that's too broad. Could it be sense 2? No, it's not an agency.

Let's check the exact wording: "suffered the same fate". In dictionaries, "fate" meaning "the outcome or destiny of a person or thing" is common. But the provided sense 1 says "an event ... that will inevitably happen". The event here is losing an eye. Because it's genetic, one could say it was inevitable. However, I think sense 1 is the intended match. The phrase doesn't personify fate, so not 2. It's not "fortune" in the sense of overall condition, so not 3.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

5. (slang) sometimes used as a term of address for attractive young women
6. a very young mammal
7. a project of personal concern to someone

In the sentence, "when she was a baby" refers to the mother's infancy. The mother had suffered the same fate (losing an eye to the rare tumor) when she was a baby. "Baby" here means a very young child. The age isn't specified but typically "baby" refers to an infant. The phrase "when she was a baby" matches sense 1: a very young child (birth to 1 year) who has not yet begun to walk or talk. So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Because of the <t>isolation</t> of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced.

Senses:
1. definition=a state of separation between persons or groups
2. definition=a feeling of being disliked and alone
3. definition=the act of isolating something; setting something apart from others
4. definition=(psychiatry) a defense mechanism in which memory of an unacceptable act or impulse is separated from the emotion originally associated with it
5. definition=a country's withdrawal from international politics | examples=he opposed a policy of American isolation

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "isolation" fits the given sentence. The sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced." The word "isolation" here is used in a scientific/biological context: the isolation of a gene. This refers to the act of isolating something (the gene) – setting it apart from others, extracting it, identifying it separately. Let's check the senses:

1. state of separation between persons or groups
2. feeling of being disliked and alone
3. the act of isolating something; setting something apart from others
4. (psychiatry) a defense mechanism...
5. a country's withdrawal from international politics

Sense 3 matches perfectly: "the act of isolating something; setting something apart from others". In biology, isolating a gene means separating it or identifying it as a distinct entity.

Thus, the answer is 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it <t>became</t> possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "become" is used. Options:

1. enter or assume a certain state or condition (e.g., He became annoyed)
2. undergo a change or development (e.g., The water turned into ice)
3. come into existence (e.g., What becomes has duration)
4. enhance the appearance of (e.g., Mourning becomes Electra)

In the sentence, "became" is part of the phrase "it became possible". This is an idiomatic construction: "it became possible" meaning "it came to be possible". It refers to entering a state or condition (the state of being possible). Sense 1: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" fits because "possible" is a state. So the correct sense is 1.

Thus answer:1

Sentence: Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became <t>possible</t> last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced.

Senses:
1. definition=capable of happening or existing | examples=a breakthrough may be possible next year
2. definition=existing in possibility | examples=a potential problem"

We need to pick sense 1 or 2. Let's analyze the sentence: "it became possible to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced." This means that the action of finding out became capable of happening, achievable. It's not about something merely existing in possibility (like a potential problem), but about something becoming doable, achievable. Sense 1 says "capable of happening or existing" with example "a breakthrough may be possible next year" which aligns with something becoming achievable. Sense 2 says "existing in possibility" with example "a potential problem", which is more like "possible" as an adjective describing something that might be the case, like a "possible explanation". Here, "it became possible to find out" is the "capable of happening" sense. So sense 1.

Sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible <t>last</t> January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."

We need to select the correct sense number from the given list.

The word "last" is used here as in "last January", meaning the January immediately preceding the present. This meaning is "immediately past", as in sense 1: "definition=immediately past | examples=last Thursday". The example "last Thursday" directly parallels "last January". So the correct sense is 1.

Let's double-check the other senses:
2. coming after all others (e.g., the last time I saw Paris) – not the same.
3. occurring at or forming an end – not "immediately past".
4. most unlikely – no.
5. at death – no.
6. conclusive – no.
7. highest in extent – no.
8. not to be altered – no.
9. lowest in rank – no.

Thus answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to <t>find out</t> what threat the Quinlan baby faced.

Senses:
1. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | examples=find the product of two numbers
2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children
3. definition=find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort | examples=I want to see whether she speaks French
4. definition=trap; especially in an error or in a reprehensible act | examples=He was caught out

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which numbered sense of "find out" matches the sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to <t>find out</t> what threat the Quinlan baby faced."

Senses given:
1. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | examples=find the product of two numbers
2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children
3. definition=find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort | examples=I want to see whether she speaks French
4. definition=trap; especially in an error or in a reprehensible act | examples=He was caught out

In the sentence, the context is about isolating a gene, which allowed them to determine what threat the baby faced. That was through scientific investigation, not accidentally. So it matches sense 1: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study". Alternatively, sense 3 also involves determining with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort. But sense 1 specifically mentions "experiment, study" which fits the gene isolation context better. Sense 3's examples are about seeing whether she speaks French, which is more like a test/inquiry. The sentence involves scientific research to establish a fact about a gene's threat. That's a study/investigation. So sense 1 is the best match.

Let's double-check sense definitions: Sense 1: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study". The gene was isolated (study/experiment) and they could then find out the threat (establish it). Sense 3: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort". This is very similar, but 1 specifically mentions investigation/experiment. Which one is more precise? Often, "find out" in a research context fits "establish after investigation". The example in sense 3: "I want to see whether she speaks French" is more casual inquiry. The sentence uses "it became possible ... to find out" implying a scientific determination. So I'm leaning towards 1.

Thus, answer: 1.

Sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what <t>threat</t> the Quinlan baby faced."

Senses provided:
1. something that is a source of danger | examples: earthquakes are a constant threat in Japan

3. declaration of an intention or a determination to inflict harm on another | examples: his threat to kill me was quite explicit
4. a person who inspires fear or dread | examples: he was the terror of the neighborhood

We need to interpret "threat" in the sentence. "what threat the Quinlan baby faced" — The context is medical, about a tumor-suppressor gene. They isolated the gene and now can find out what threat the baby faced. The "threat" is likely a danger or risk, such as developing retinoblastoma or cancer. It is not a warning (sense 2), not a declaration (sense 3), not a person (sense 4). It is a source of danger (sense 1). So sense 1 is the correct one.

Sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan <t>baby</t> faced."

We have senses 1-7. We need to pick the correct sense.

The sentence refers to "the Quinlan baby". This is likely a reference to a real-life case? The phrase "retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene" and "Quinlan baby" might refer to a famous case. Possibly the "Quinlan baby" refers to an unborn child or a fetus? Wait, "Quinlan" might refer to the Karen Ann Quinlan case? Karen Ann Quinlan was a young woman in a persistent vegetative state. But "baby" suggests an infant. Or perhaps "Quinlan baby" refers to an unborn child being tested for a genetic condition? "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced." Retinoblastoma is an eye cancer that affects young children. Often genetic testing can be done prenatally or on a newborn. "Baby" could mean an unborn child (sense 4) or a very young child (sense 1). The phrase "what threat the Quinlan baby faced" might imply they were testing the fetus for the gene mutation. I recall a case: The "Quinlan baby" might refer to a fetus? Let's think: If the gene was isolated, they could perform prenatal diagnosis. The sentence says "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced." It might be an unborn child, as they can now test the fetus. Sense 4: "an unborn child; a human fetus". Example: "I felt healthy and very feminine carrying the baby". That fits the context of genetic testing during pregnancy. Alternatively, it could be a newborn. But "faced" suggests a future threat, possibly before birth. I lean towards sense 4. Let's check if there's a known "Quinlan baby" case. There is the "Baby Quinlan" case? Actually, Karen Ann Quinlan's case was about removing life support. Not a baby. But "Quinlan baby" might be a different case. In the context of retinoblastoma, genetic testing could be prenatal. I think the intended sense is "an unborn child; a human fetus". Many pre-natal genetic testing news articles use "baby" to mean fetus. Also, sense 1 specifies "birth to 1 year", but if they're finding out what threat it faced, it might be before birth. I'll go with 4.

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

Sentence: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby <t>faced</t>."

The word is "faced". The senses are numbered 1 through 9. We need to pick the sense that matches "faced" in this context.

Let's parse the sentence: "what threat the Quinlan baby faced." So the baby faced a threat. Meaning the baby was confronted with a threat, had to deal with a threat. "Faced" here means "to deal with (something unpleasant) head on" or "to be confronted with". Looking at the definitions:

1. definition=deal with (something unpleasant) head on | examples=You must confront your problems
2. oppose, as in hostility or a competition
3. be oriented in a certain direction...
4. be opposite
5. turn so as to face; turn the face in a certain direction
6. present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize
7. turn so as to expose the face
8. line the edge (of a garment)
9. cover the front or surface of

The sentence "what threat the Quinlan baby faced" means the threat that the baby was confronting or had to deal with. This is sense 1: deal with (something unpleasant) head on. "Threat" is something unpleasant. The baby faced the threat. So sense 1.

Let's double-check sense 6: "present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize" – could be interpreted as "confronted with", but the definition says "present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize". The example: "We confronted him with the evidence." That implies you are presenting something to someone, not that they are facing it. In the sentence, the baby faced a threat, not someone presenting a threat to the baby (though that could be a reading, but the active meaning is the baby facing it). The sense 1 is "deal with (something unpleasant) head on", which fits "faced a threat" perfectly: the threat is something unpleasant that one must confront/deal with.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: A test <t>using</t> new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose | examples=use your head!
2. definition=take or consume (regularly or habitually) | examples=She uses drugs rarely
3. definition=use up, consume fully | examples=The legislature expended its time on school questions
4. definition=seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage | examples=She uses her influential friends to get jobs
5. definition=avail oneself to | examples=apply a principle
6. definition=habitually do something (use only in the past tense) | examples=She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "A test <t>using</t> new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."

We need to determine which numbered sense of "use" applies to the word "using" in this context.

The senses:
1. put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose | examples: use your head!
2. take or consume (regularly or habitually) | examples: She uses drugs rarely
3. use up, consume fully | examples: The legislature expended its time on school questions
4. seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage | examples: She uses her influential friends to get jobs
5. avail oneself to | examples: apply a principle
6. habitually do something (use only in the past tense) | examples: She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally

The word is "using" in "A test using new 'genetic probes'". Here, "using" means the test employed or made use of genetic probes. It's about employing something for a purpose. So sense 1: put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose. "Using new genetic probes" means the test employs genetic probes. No element of consumption, habitual action, or exploitation as in the other senses.

Thus, the correct sense is 1.
