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

Sentence: Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears <t>crucial</t> to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix.

Senses:
1. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
2. definition=having crucial relevance | examples=crucial to the case
3. definition=of the greatest importance | examples=the all-important subject of disarmament

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and three numbered senses for the word "crucial". We need to identify which sense is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears <t>crucial</t> to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix."

Senses:
1. definition=of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis | examples=a crucial moment in his career
2. definition=having crucial relevance | examples=crucial to the case
3. definition=of the greatest importance | examples=the all-important subject

We need to match the usage in the sentence to one of these. "crucial to the development" means extremely important for the development. Sense 1 mentions "vital to the resolution of a crisis" which is a specific context (crisis). The sentence is about development of cancers, not necessarily a crisis moment. Sense 3 says "of the greatest importance". That seems more general. Sense 2 is "having crucial relevance", which seems redundant (using the word in the definition). However, note that sense 2 might be specific, but the phrase "crucial to" is exactly in the example. The sentence says "appears crucial to the development". The example for sense 2 is "crucial to the case", which matches the preposition "to" and indicates relevance. But sense 3 is "of the greatest importance" with example "the all-important subject". I'd say sense 3 is the most general and fits. However, I need to be careful. The senses are typical WordNet senses? WordNet lists "crucial" as:
1. of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis
2. having crucial relevance
3. of the greatest importance

The sentence: "appears crucial to the development..." The phrase "crucial to" is exemplified in sense 2: "crucial to the case". But sense 2 definition "having crucial relevance" is a bit circular. In WordNet, the senses for "crucial" might be:
Sense 1: (adj) crucial, important (of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis) "a crucial moment in his career"; "a crucial election"; "a crucial issue for women"
Sense 2: (adj) crucial (having crucial relevance) "crucial to the case"; "relevant testimony"
Sense 3: (adj) all-important(a), all important(p), crucial, essential, of the essence(p) (of the greatest importance) "the all-important subject of disarmament"; "crucial information"; "in chess cool nerves are of the essence"

In the given sentence, "crucial to the development of such scourges" is very similar to "crucial to the case", which is the example for sense 2. However, sense 2 definition is "having crucial relevance". That seems to define it as "relevant in a crucial way". But is the inactivation "relevant" to the development, or "of extreme importance"? It is of extreme importance. "Crucial to the development" means it is essential for the development. Sense 3 is "of the greatest importance", example: "crucial information". The sentence could be interpreted as "of the greatest importance to the development". Sense 1 specifies "vital to the resolution of a crisis", a specific kind of situation. This is not a crisis resolution, but a development. So sense 1 is less likely. Between sense 2 and 3, sense 3 is more straightforward: "of the greatest importance". Sense 2 definition is "having crucial relevance", which might be a specific linguistic sense, but it's often used for "relevant and decisive". The example "crucial to the case" means "of decisive importance to the case". In WordNet, "crucial" sense 2 is often defined as "having crucial relevance; 'crucial to the case'". That's a distinct sense? Actually, many dictionaries separate "decisive" from "extremely important". The sentence likely matches sense 2 because of the exact phrase "crucial to", but semantically, it's very close to sense 3. I'll check typical WordNet distinctions. WordNet 3.0:
- S: (adj) crucial, important (of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis) "a crucial moment in his career"; "a crucial election"; "a crucial issue for women"
- S: (adj) crucial (having crucial relevance) "crucial to the case"; "relevant testimony"
- S: (adj) all-important(a), all important(p), crucial, essential, of the essence(p) (of the greatest importance) "the all-important subject of disarmament"; "crucial information"; "in chess cool nerves are of the essence"

The sentence: "appears crucial to the development..." The phrase "crucial to" is exactly the example for sense 2. So sense 2 is specifically "crucial to something" indicating relevancy and decisiveness. I think sense 2 is the intended answer because the example matches the usage pattern. Let's see: "crucial to the case" vs "crucial to the development". Sense 3 example is "crucial information" or "all-important subject", not "crucial to". So I'll go with sense 2.

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

Sentence: Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the <t>development</t> of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix.

Senses:
1. definition=act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining | examples=he congratulated them on their development of a plan to meet the emergency
2. definition=a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) | examples=the development of his ideas took many years
3. definition=(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children
4. definition=a recent event that has some relevance for the present situation | examples=recent developments in Iraq

We are asked to identify which sense of "development" is used in the sentence:

"Sentence: Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the <t>development</t> of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix."

We have 9 senses to choose from. We need to return only the number.

The context is about the "development of such scourges as cancer...". This refers to the process of cancer forming/growing. This is biological. Sense 3 is: "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level". Cancer development is a biological process where cells grow and change, fitting this sense. However, it might also fit sense 2: "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)". But sense 3 is specifically for biology. The sentence mentions tumors and cancer, so it's a biological context. Let's check if there's a better fit. Sense 1 is about improvement, which doesn't fit because cancer is a scourge, not an improvement. Sense 3 explicitly mentions biology and the process of an organism growing. Cancer is a pathological process, but it's still a biological process of growth. Therefore, 3 seems most precise.

I'll return 3.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "brain" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the <t>brain</t>, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix."

The word "brain" is tagged with <t> tags. We need to choose the sense number that matches the meaning in this context.

Let's examine the senses:

1. definition=that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord
2. definition=mental ability | examples=he's got plenty of brains but no common sense
3. definition=that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason | examples=his mind wandered
4. definition=someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality | examples=Mozart was a child genius
5. definition=the brain of certain animals used as meat

In the sentence, "cancer of the brain" clearly refers to the physical organ, the brain as a body part. That matches sense 1: the part of the central nervous system enclosed within the skull. The other senses are about intelligence, mind, a smart person, or food. So sense 1 is correct.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the <t>skin</t>, kidney, prostate, and cervix.

Senses:
1. definition=a natural protective body covering and site of the sense of touch | examples=your skin is the largest organ of your body
2. definition=an outer surface (usually thin) | examples=the skin of an airplane
3. definition=body covering of a living animal
4. definition=a person's skin regarded as their life | examples=he tried to save his skin
5. definition=the rind of a fruit or vegetable
6. definition=a bag serving as a container for liquids; it is made from the hide of an animal

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "skin" is used in the sentence: "Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix."

The word "skin" is in a list of body parts affected by cancer: brain, skin, kidney, prostate, cervix. It clearly refers to the biological organ, the outer covering of the body. Let's check the senses:

1. definition=a natural protective body covering and site of the sense of touch | examples=your skin is the largest organ of your body
2. definition=an outer surface (usually thin) | examples=the skin of an airplane
3. definition=body covering of a living animal
4. definition=a person's skin regarded as their life | examples=he tried to save his skin
5. definition=the rind of a fruit or vegetable
6. definition=a bag serving as a container for liquids; it is made from the hide of an animal

Sense 1 matches perfectly: "a natural protective body covering and site of the sense of touch", and it's the organ. Sense 3 is "body covering of a living animal", which could also apply, but in human medical context (cancer of the skin), sense 1 is more specific to the human organ. Typically, "skin" as human organ is sense 1. Sense 3 might be more general or animal-focused. Given the examples, sense 1 is explicitly the human organ. So I'll go with 1.

We need to determine which sense of "cervix" is used in the context of "cancer of the ... cervix". In the list: brain, skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. These are all body parts where cancer can occur. "Cervix" in this context refers to the uterine cervix, i.e., cancer of the cervix (cervical cancer). So sense 2 is correct.

Therefore, answer is 2.

2. definition=an indication that makes something evident | examples=his trembling was evidence of his fear
3. definition=(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved

We need to determine which sense is used. The sentence is about scientific/medical evidence supporting a hypothesis about genes and cancer. It's not a legal context. It's not just an indication like trembling (sense 2). It's knowledge or a basis for belief. Sense 1 fits perfectly: "knowledge on which to base belief", with an example "the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling". The sentence structure is similar: "There is evidence that ..." It refers to scientific evidence. So sense 1 is correct.

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

Sentence: There is evidence that if <t>people</t> inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families.

Senses:
1. definition=(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively | examples=old people
2. definition=the body of citizens of a state or country | examples=the Spanish people
3. definition=members of a family line | examples=his people have been farmers for generations
4. definition=the common people generally | examples=separate the warriors from the mass

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "There is evidence that if <t>people</t> inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families." We need to choose which sense of "people" is used from the given numbered senses.

Let's analyze the senses:
1. (plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively | examples=old people. This is a general sense referring to humans collectively.
2. the body of citizens of a state or country | examples=the Spanish people. This refers to a national or political group.
3. members of a family line | examples=his people have been farmers for generations. This refers to lineage, ancestors, or family.
4. the common people generally | examples=separate the warriors from the mass. This refers to the masses, common folk as opposed to elites.

In the sentence, "people" is used in a general scientific/medical context: "if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer..." This is talking about human beings in general, not a specific nation, not a family line (though it mentions families later, the word people here is generic), and not the common people as opposed to elites. It's sense 1: any group of human beings collectively.

The phrase "haunt certain families" is part of the explanation, but the "people" in the if-clause refers to humans in general.

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: There is evidence that if people inherit defective <t>versions</t> of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families.

Senses:
1. definition=an interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint | examples=his version of the fight was different from mine
2. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | examples=an experimental version of the night fighter
3. definition=a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form | examples=the play is an adaptation of a short novel
4. definition=a written communication in a second language having the same meaning as the written communication in a first language
5. definition=a mental representation of the meaning or significance of something
6. definition=manual turning of a fetus in the uterus (usually to aid delivery)

Sentence: "There is evidence that if people inherit defective <t>versions</t> of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families."

Senses:
1. an interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint
2. something a little different from others of the same type
3. a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form
4. a written communication in a second language having the same meaning as the written communication in a first language
5. a mental representation of the meaning or significance of something
6. manual turning of a fetus in the uterus (usually to aid delivery)

We need to find the appropriate sense for "versions" in the context: "defective versions of these genes". In genetics, a "version" of a gene refers to an allele or a variant. It is something slightly different from others of the same type (the gene). So sense 2: "something a little different from others of the same type". Example: "an experimental version of the night fighter" fits the idea of a variant.

Answer: 2.

Sentence: "There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are <t>especially</t> prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families."

Senses:
1. definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling
2. definition=in a special manner | examples=a specially arranged dinner

We need to pick sense 1 or 2.

The word "especially" in the sentence modifies "prone to cancer": they are especially prone to cancer. This means they are more prone to cancer than common or normal. That matches sense 1: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common". Sense 2 is "in a special manner", like something arranged specially for a purpose. So the answer is 1.

4. the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22
5. type genus of the family Cancridae

Clearly, the sentence refers to the disease cancer (medical condition). Sense 1 fits perfectly. The word "cancer" is not capitalized (Cancer would be the astrological sign), and context is about genes, defective versions, cancers haunting families - all medical. So correct sense is 1.

I need to output only the number: 1.

2. define (e.g., The committee explained their plan for fund-raising to the Dean)
3. serve as a reason or cause or justification of (e.g., Your need to sleep late does not excuse your late arrival at work)

In the sentence, "explaining" is used to mean "serving as a reason or cause or justification of" why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The inherited defective genes provide a causal explanation. So it's sense 3.

Sentence: There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, <t>finally</t>, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families.

Senses:
1. definition=after an unspecified period of time or an especially long delay
2. definition=as the end result of a succession or process | examples=ultimately he had to give in
3. definition=the item at the end | examples=last, I'll discuss last

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage. The word "finally" here is used as an adverb meaning "after a long time" or "at last"? Let's analyze: "There is evidence... perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families." The implication is that this explanation has been sought for a long time, and now at last we have an explanation. So it's sense 1: after an unspecified period of time or an especially long delay. Sense 2 is "as the end result of a succession or process" (ultimately). But the sentence is about "finally" explaining something that has been a mystery, indicating a long-awaited explanation, not a step-by-step process leading to a result. Sense 3 is "the item at the end" which is used when listing items, not applicable here.

Thus, sense 1 is the correct one.

4. definition=the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22
5. definition=type genus of the family Cancridae

The word in the sentence is "cancers" (plural). The context is about inheriting defective genes, being prone to cancer, and cancers haunting families. Clearly, it's about the disease cancer, not astrology or a constellation or a genus of crabs. So sense 1 is correct.

4. definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone

I need to determine which sense is being used. The sentence: "why some cancers seem to haunt certain families." The phrase is "cancers seem to haunt". Cancers are not a person, so it's not "appear to one's own mind or opinion" (sense 4). It's not "appear to exist" (sense 3) because it's not "there seems...". It's about cancers giving an impression. Compare to sense 1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect". Example: "She seems to be sleeping." Here, "cancers seem to haunt" means cancers give the impression that they haunt certain families. Sense 2 is "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" with example "It seems that he is very gifted" which uses "it seems that...". The sentence is "cancers seem to haunt...", which is more like sense 1: the cancers themselves give a certain impression. Sense 2 is often used with impersonal "it". So I believe sense 1 is the correct one. Let's double-check: "some cancers seem to haunt certain families" = some cancers give the impression of haunting certain families. Yes, that matches sense 1. So answer is

We are given a sentence: "There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt <t>certain</t> families."

We need to choose which numbered sense of "certain" is used here, marked with <t> tags. The senses are listed with definitions and examples. We need to return only the number.

Let's examine the usage: "haunt certain families". Here, "certain" modifies "families". It means some specific but not identified families. It doesn't mean confident, or established beyond doubt, or inevitable. It's the sense of "definite but not specified or identified". That matches sense 1: "definition=definite but not specified or identified | examples=set aside a certain sum each week". So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain <t>families</t>."

Senses:
1. a social unit living together
2. primary social group; parents and children
3. a collection of things sharing a common attribute
4. people descended from a common ancestor
5. a person having kinship with another or others
6. (biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera
7. a loose affiliation of gangsters...
8. an association of people who share common beliefs or activities

In context: "inherit defective versions of these genes" and "cancers seem to haunt certain families." This refers to genetic inheritance, so it's about people descended from a common ancestor sharing genes. Sense 4 fits: "people descended from a common ancestor". Sense 5 is about kinship, but 4 is more specific to ancestry. Usually, family in genetics context means those related by blood and ancestry. I'll pick 4.

Let's confirm: The sentence is about inheriting genes, so family means blood relatives with common ancestry. So answer is 4.

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

Sentence: The <t>story</t> of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects.

Senses:
1. definition=a message that tells the particulars of an act or occurrence or course of events; presented in writing or drama or cinema or as a radio or television program | examples=his narrative was interesting
2. definition=a piece of fiction that narrates a chain of related events | examples=he writes stories for the magazines
3. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | examples=what level is the office on?
4. definition=a record or narrative description of past events | examples=a history of France

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

Sentence: "The <t>story</t> of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects."

We need to choose among the given senses:

1. a message that tells the particulars of an act or occurrence or course of events; presented in writing or drama or cinema or as a radio or television program (narrative)
2. a piece of fiction that narrates a chain of related events (fictional story)
3. a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale (floor level)
4. a record or narrative description of past events (history)
5. a short account of the news (news report)
6. a trivial lie (fib)

The sentence is talking about the history or development of the understanding of tumor-suppressor genes, tracing back to the 1970s. It's not a fictional story, not a building level, not a news report, not a lie. It could be interpreted as sense 1 (a narrative) or sense 4 (a record or narrative description of past events). However, the phrase "The story of tumor-suppressor genes" refers to the historical account or narrative of how they were discovered and understood. Sense 4 explicitly says "a record or narrative description of past events" and gives example "a history of France". Sense 1 is more general for any narrative (could be fictional or non-fictional, presented in media). But sense 4 is specifically about past events, history. In context, "story" here means the history or account of past scientific developments. So sense 4 fits best.
Let's double-check: "goes back to the 1970s" indicates a historical account. Sense 4 definition: "a record or narrative description of past events" with example "a history of France". That matches perfectly. Sense 1 could also describe a narrative, but sense 4 is more precise for a historical account.

Thus, the answer is 4.

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

Sentence: The story of tumor-suppressor genes <t>goes back</t> to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects.

Senses:
1. definition=belong to an earlier time | examples=This story dates back 200 years
2. definition=return in thought or speech to something
3. definition=regain a former condition after a financial loss | examples=We expect the stocks to recover to $2.90

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a list of senses for "goes back" (which is a form of "go back"). We need to identify which numbered sense matches the usage in the sentence.

Sentence: "The story of tumor-suppressor genes <t>goes back</t> to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects."

Senses:
1. definition=belong to an earlier time | examples=This story dates back 200 years
2. definition=return in thought or speech to something
3. definition=regain a former condition after a financial loss | examples=We expect the stocks to recover to $2.90

The phrase "goes back to the 1970s" means that the story originates from or belongs to an earlier time, specifically the 1970s. This matches sense 1: "belong to an earlier time" with the example "This story dates back 200 years". The example is very similar: "dates back" is synonymous with "goes back" in this context.

Sense 2 is about returning in thought or speech, which is not the case here. Sense 3 is financial recovery, not relevant.

Sentence: The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician <t>named</t> Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects.

Senses:
1. definition=assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to | examples=They named their son David
2. definition=give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property | examples=Many senators were named in connection with the scandal

9. definition=determine or distinguish the nature of a problem or an illness through a diagnostic analysis

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician <t>named</t> Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects."

We need to identify which sense of "name" (the verb) is used here. The senses are provided with definitions and examples.

The word "named" in the sentence is a past participle used in a reduced relative clause: "a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr." This means a pediatrician who was named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. That corresponds to the sense of "give a name to someone", i.e., "assign a specified proper name to". Let's look at the senses:

1. assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to | examples=They named their son David

This exactly matches: the pediatrician was named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. (his proper name).

Other senses don't fit:
2. give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name... (like identifying someone in a scandal)
3. charge with a function (appoint)
4. create and charge with a task (nominate)
5. mention and identify by name (like "name your accomplices")
6. make reference to
7. identify as in botany or biology
8. give or make a list of
9. determine or distinguish the nature of a problem

So sense 1 is the correct one.

The answer should be just the number.

The sentence: "The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. <t>proposed</t> that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects."

We have five senses with definitions and examples. We need to match the usage in the sentence to one of these senses.

Let's analyze the sentence: "proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects." This is a scientific hypothesis or theory being put forward. The pediatrician is suggesting an explanation for a phenomenon. He is not making a plan (sense 1), not presenting something for consideration like a plan (sense 2 might overlap but it's more about a plan or proposal for action), not intending (sense 3), not nominating someone for an office (sense 4), and not asking to marry (sense 5).

Sense 2: "present for consideration, examination, criticism, etc." Example: "He proposed a new plan for dealing with terrorism". Sense 2 is about presenting an idea, theory, or plan for others to consider. In science, proposing a hypothesis fits "present for consideration, examination, criticism". However, sense 1 is "make a proposal, declare a plan for something". The scientist isn't declaring a plan; he's proposing an explanation (a hypothesis). Sense 2 seems more appropriate. Let's check sense 2: "present for consideration, examination, criticism, etc." This is exactly what a scientist does when proposing a theory: they present it for examination and criticism.

Sense 1: "make a proposal, declare a plan for something" - more about a plan of action. The scientist isn't proposing a plan of action, but a causal explanation. So sense 2 is the best fit.

Thus the answer should be 2.

2. definition=cause to point inward | examples=stem your skis
3. definition=stop the flow of a liquid | examples=staunch the blood flow
4. definition=remove the stem from | examples=for automatic natural language processing, the words must be stemmed

We need to identify which sense matches "stemmed" in that sentence. The sentence says "retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects." That means the retinoblastoma originated from / grew out of two separate genetic defects. So it matches sense 1: "grow out of, have roots in, originate in". Example: "The increase in the national debt stems from the last war". So the correct number is 1.

We only return the number.

We need to choose which sense (1-4) matches the usage of "separate" in this sentence.

Let's examine the senses:

1. definition=independent; not united or joint | examples=a problem consisting of two separate issues
2. definition=standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything | examples=a freestanding bell tower
3. definition=separated according to race, sex, class, or religion | examples=separate but equal
4. definition=have the connection undone; having become separate

In the sentence, "two separate genetic defects", "separate" means that they are independent, distinct, not the same defect, not united. That matches sense 1 perfectly.

Thus, answer is 1

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence with a word "genetic" marked with <t> tags. We need to determine which numbered sense applies. The sentence: "The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate <t>genetic</t> defects."

Context: "two separate genetic defects" – in the context of tumor-suppressor genes and retinoblastoma, this refers to defects that are related to genes. The proposed mechanism by Knudson is the "two-hit hypothesis" involving mutations in genes. So "genetic defects" means defects of or relating to genes. Looking at the senses:
1. occurring among members of a family usually by heredity (inherited)
2. of or relating to or produced by or being a gene (genic combinations)
3. pertaining to or referring to origin
4. of or relating to the science of genetics

The defects are "genetic defects" meaning defects in genes. So sense 2 is the correct one.

4. definition=a mark or flaw that spoils the appearance of something (especially on a person's body) | examples=a facial blemish"

I need to choose the number of the correct sense. The context is about genetic defects, specifically in tumor-suppressor genes, leading to retinoblastoma. Genetic defects are imperfections in the bodily system (genetic material affecting bodily functions). Sense 1: "an imperfection in a bodily system" with examples "visual defects". That seems to match "genetic defects" as they are imperfections in a biological system. Sense 4 is about marks or flaws on appearance, not applicable. Sense 3 is about objects/machines. Sense 2 is about a failing or deficiency, which might also fit, but the example "that interpretation is an unfortunate defect of our lack of information" shows it's more abstract, while genetic defects are biological imperfection in a bodily system. So sense 1 is the best match. The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: He <t>theorized</t> that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other.

Senses:
1. definition=to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds | examples=Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps
2. definition=construct a theory about | examples=Galileo theorized the motion of the stars
3. definition=form or construct theories | examples=he thinks and theorizes all day

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "theorize" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other."

The senses:
1. to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds (example: Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps)
2. construct a theory about (example: Galileo theorized the motion of the stars)
3. form or construct theories (example: he thinks and theorizes all day)

In the sentence, "He theorized that ..." - he put forward a hypothesis or explanation about a specific phenomenon (the inheritance pattern in eye cancer). This is like proposing a theory or a specific explanatory idea. Sense 1 is about believing something on uncertain grounds, often synonymous with "suppose" or "speculate". Sense 2 is "construct a theory about", which fits proposing a specific theory. But note the examples: sense 2 example: "Galileo theorized the motion of the stars" uses "theorized" with a direct object (the motion). In the sentence, it's "theorized that ...", which is a clause. Sometimes "theorize that" can be sense 1 (suppose) or sense 2 (construct a theory). Let's check dictionary definitions. Usually, "theorize" has two main meanings: 1. to form a theory or theories (intransitive: he theorizes all day), and 2. to propose a theory about something (transitive: theorize that...). Sense 2 definition: "construct a theory about" seems transitive and could cover "theorize that". Sense 1: "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" is synonymous with "suppose" or "speculate", often used when someone is guessing. In scientific contexts, "theorize that" often means to propose a theory, not merely to guess. The inheritance explanation sounds like a scientific theory (the two-hit hypothesis for retinoblastoma? Actually that sounds like Knudson's hypothesis. He theorized that...). That's constructing a theory. So sense 2 is more appropriate.

Let's check: Sense 1 example: Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps. That uses "supposed", which is a tentative belief. The sentence uses "theorized" in a similar structure: He theorized that ... So it's possible it's sense 1. But "theorized" in the context of cancer genetics is likely a scientific theory, not a tentative guess. It is a specific explanation. Sense 2 definition: "construct a theory about" – the example uses a noun phrase: "theorized the motion of the stars". That is a direct object. But the definition says "construct a theory about", and the sentence "theorized that..." can be seen as constructing a theory about the inheritance pattern. Many dictionaries list "theorize that" under the meaning "to suggest an explanation or theory". For instance, Merriam-Webster: 1. to form a theory : speculate. 2. to propose as a theory. For sentence "He theorized that...", it's the second sense. Oxford: 1. [no obj.] form a theory or set of theories about something. 2. [with clause] create a theoretical premise or framework for. Actually, Oxford: "theorize" verb: 1. form a theory or set of theories about something. "he theorized that the pattern of investment was a result of the changing economic climate" – that is given as example for sense 1 in some dictionaries? Let's check: Oxford Learner's Dictionaries: theorize (verb) [intransitive, transitive] to suggest facts and ideas to explain something; to form a theory or theories about something. "The study theorizes about the role of dreams in peoples' lives." "He theorized that the money was used to finance terrorist activities." So there they treat "theorize that" as the same sense as forming a theory. In the given senses, sense 1 is "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" (speculate). Sense 2 is "construct a theory about". Sense 3 is "form or construct theories" (intransitive, like he thinks and theorizes all day). The sentence has a that-clause. It's not the intransitive sense 3. Between sense 1 and sense 2: sense 1 emphasizes uncertainty and tentativeness, like a guess. Sense 2 is about constructing a theory. In the cancer example, he is constructing a specific explanatory theory (the two-hit hypothesis). So it's more like constructing a theory. "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other." This is a precise mechanistic hypothesis. So I'd pick sense 2.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "He theorized that in the <t>eye</t> cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other." The word "eye" is tagged. There are five senses provided. We need to determine which numbered sense is used. The word is "eye" as part of the phrase "eye cancer". This is a compound noun where "eye" modifies "cancer". It means cancer of the eye, i.e., the organ of sight. Let's check the senses:
1. the organ of sight
2. good discernment...
3. attention to what is seen...
4. an area that is approximately central...
5. a small hole or loop...

Clearly, "eye cancer" refers to cancer affecting the eye (sense 1). So the answer is 1.

We need to choose sense 1 or 2.

The word "damaged" here refers to a "damaged copy of a gene". That means the gene copy is harmed or spoiled (i.e., not functioning properly). It doesn't mean being unjustly brought into disrepute. So sense 1 is the correct one.

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

Sentence: He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged <t>copy</t> of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other.

Senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged <t>copy</t> of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other." We need to choose the numbered sense of "copy" that matches the usage in the sentence. Senses given:

1. a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples: she made a copy of the designer dress
3. matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

In the sentence, "copy" refers to a copy of a gene. This is a biological sense: one of the two alleles or instances of a gene inherited from parents. It's not a written record reproduction, not a duplicate of a designer dress exactly, but it aligns most closely with sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - in biology, genes are replicated or inherited as copies. However, the definitions provided are quite specific. Sense 2 says "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" and example is a copy of a designer dress. In genetics, "copy" of a gene refers to an instance or version, essentially one that is identical or similar (homologous) to another. The other senses don't fit: 1 is about written records, 3 is about text to be printed, 4 is about journalistic material. So sense 2 is the best fit.

Thus, the number is 2.

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

Sentence: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one <t>parent</t> and a normal copy from the other."

Senses:
1. definition=a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian
2. definition=an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained

We need to determine which sense is used in the context. The sentence is about genetics/inheritance. "Parent" here refers to a biological father or mother from whom a gene is inherited. Sense 1 explicitly includes "a father or mother; one who begets...". Sense 2 says "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained". While a human is an organism, sense 1 is more specific to human parents. The context is an infant inheriting genes from parents, so it clearly refers to a human parent (father or mother). Sense 2 is more general, like a parent plant or animal in breeding/biology. But note: sense 1 says "a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child...". That fits perfectly. Sense 2 says "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained" – this could also technically apply, but usually sense 1 is for human familial relations, which is exactly the context here. The sentence is about a child inheriting genes from a parent (mother or father). So sense 1 is the correct one.

Thus, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a <t>normal</t> copy from the other."

Senses:
1. conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal | examples=serve wine at normal room temperature
2. in accordance with scientific laws
3. being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child
4. forming a right angle

We need to decide which sense of "normal" fits here. The sentence is about genetics: inherited a damaged copy from one parent and a normal copy from the other. Here, "normal" means not damaged, i.e., the typical or standard copy of the gene, not mutated. That would be sense 1: conforming with or constituting a norm or standard; not abnormal. It's not about scientific laws (sense 2), not about intelligence/development (sense 3), and not about right angles (sense 4). So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal <t>copy</t> from the other.

Senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a list of senses for the word "copy". The sentence is: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other." The word "copy" in the sentence is marked with <t> tags: "<t>copy</t>". We need to choose the numbered sense that matches the usage.

Let's analyze the sentence. It's about genetics: "inherited a damaged copy of a gene ... and a normal copy". Here, "copy" refers to a version or instance of a gene. Genes are segments of DNA; each parent provides one copy (allele) of a gene. So "copy" means one of the two instances/versions of a gene inherited from parents. This is a biological/genetic context.

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

None of these directly mention genetics. However, sense 2 says "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing". In genetics, a "copy" of a gene is not necessarily "made" artificially; it's a naturally occurring instance. But the core idea is that it's an identical or similar version of something. Genes replicate, so each copy is essentially a duplicate. The sense 2 might be the closest: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" – a gene copy is an identical or similar version. But wait: is it "made"? In genetics, copies are produced through DNA replication and inheritance. It's a biological copy. The WordNet or typical dictionary might have a specific sense for genetics, like "one of the two or more identical parts of a chromosome or gene". But here, only these four are given. The most general sense is 2. Sense 1 is specific to written records. Sense 3 is printing. Sense 4 is journalistic material. So 2 is the only one that fits "a version or instance that is similar/identical". In many dictionaries, the biological sense is an extension of the "duplicate" sense: a copy of a gene. I think the intended answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The tumor, he suggested, <t>developed</t> when the second, normal copy also was damaged."

We need to choose among 21 senses. The word "developed" refers to a tumor coming into existence or forming. The sentence says the tumor developed when the second, normal copy was damaged. That means the tumor came into existence, took form. Let's look at the senses:

1. make something new (product/creation) - transitive, but here "developed" is intransitive (the tumor developed). Not 1.
2. work out (developed a theory) - transitive. Not 2.
3. gain through experience - not.
4. come to have or undergo a change of physical features - "He grew a beard" - that's transitive? Actually "He grew a beard" means he came to have a beard. The tumor developed... could be "come to have"? But sense 4 is "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" with example "He grew a beard". The tumor is not a physical feature of a person, but a growth. However, note the wording: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". It's about a person or organism acquiring an attribute. The tumor is the thing that develops, not the person. The person might "develop a tumor", which would be transitive and might match sense 4? But the sentence is "The tumor developed", intransitive. So not 4.
5. come into existence; take on form or shape - example: "A new religious movement originated in that country." This seems perfect: the tumor came into existence.
6. change the use of land - no.
7. elaborate theories - no.
8. train - no.
9. be gradually disclosed; become manifest - "The plot developed slowly." The tumor could become manifest? It's about something unfolding or being revealed. A tumor might develop (grow) but the sentence says "developed when the second copy was damaged" meaning it originated.
10. grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment - example: "A flower developed on the branch." This also fits: a tumor grows, progresses. "A flower developed" means it grew, came into being. "The tumor developed" could mean it grew or came into being. Let's compare 5 and 10. 5 is "come into existence; take on form or shape". 10 is "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment." The context: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged." This describes the origin, the point when it came into existence, caused by damage. "Developed" here means "came into existence" or "formed". Sense 5 says "come into existence; take on form or shape". Sense 10 includes "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve". A tumor can develop over time, but the trigger is the damage, leading to its formation. Usually in medical context, "a tumor develops" means it arises/forms. So sense 5 seems more precise: "come into existence; take on form or shape". Sense 10 is more about gradual growth. The word "when" indicates the moment of development equals the moment of damage. That suggests origination, not just growth. I'd go with 5. But let's check all senses. 20: happen - "Report the news as it develops" could also fit. But "happen" is generic. 5 is more specific: "come into existence". The tumor developed = the tumor came into existence. So I think 5 is the best match. The answer should be the number 5.

Sentence: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the <t>second</t>, normal copy also was damaged."

Senses:
1. definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude
2. definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute

We need to determine which sense fits. The sentence mentions "the second, normal copy". This is about a copy of something (likely a gene). There are two copies: one is presumably abnormal or damaged, and the "second, normal copy" is the other one. "Second" here means the other one, the one that comes after the first in order. There's no musical or orchestral context. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus, the answer is 1.

2. in accordance with scientific laws

3. being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child

4. forming a right angle

We need to interpret "normal copy" in the context of genetics/tumor. A "normal copy" of a gene typically means the wild-type or non-mutated, standard version. The sense is the one that means not abnormal, conforming to a standard or type. That matches sense 1: "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal". In medical/genetics, "normal" often means the typical or non-mutant form. Sense 1 explicitly says "not abnormal" which fits perfectly. Sense 3 is about average intelligence/development, which is not the meaning here. Sense 2 is about scientific laws, sense 4 is geometry. So answer is 1.

We need to choose the sense that matches the use of "copy" in the sentence about a tumor, where a "second, normal copy" (likely of a gene) was damaged. This is a biological context: "copy" refers to a duplicate of something, like a gene copy. That aligns with sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing". It's not a written record, not printing matter, not journalistic material. So answer: 2.

Sentence: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was <t>damaged</t>."

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 fits the context: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged." This is likely about a biological context: a tumor develops when the second normal copy (of a gene, like a tumor suppressor gene) is damaged. So "damaged" here means harmed, injured, or spoiled (the gene is harmed/mutated). It's not about being brought into disrepute. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus return "1".

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

Sentence: But there was no <t>way</t> to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory.

Senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control
3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction
4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is
5. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue

10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way
11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing
12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "way" applies to the sentence: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

The phrase "no way to prove" means no method or means of proving it. So it's about how a result is obtained or an end is achieved. That matches sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control". "No way to prove" = no means to prove.

Let's check the other senses:
1: how something is done (manner) - not exactly, "way to prove" could be a manner but it's more about a method/means.
3: line leading to a place - no.
4: condition of things - no.
5: course of conduct - no.
6: artifact consisting of a road - no.
7: journey - no.
8: space for movement - no.
9: distance - no.
10: doing as one pleases - no.
11: category - no.
12: portion - no.

So sense 2 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which numbered sense of "prove" is used in the sentence: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

The sentence is about proving a theory. The meaning is to establish the validity of something, or provide evidence for it. Let's check the senses:

1. be shown or be found to be (example: She proved to be right) - This is intransitive or linking verb sense ("prove to be"). Not fitting because it's "prove a theory" (transitive, establishing validity).
2. establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment - Example: "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound". This fits perfectly: proving a theory means establishing its validity.
3. provide evidence for - Example: "The blood test showed that he was the father". This could also fit, but often "prove" in the context of a scientific theory is "establish the validity". Let's compare 2 and 3. Usually "prove a theory" matches sense 2. "provide evidence for" is more like "show" or "demonstrate". However, dictionaries often list "prove" as "establish the truth or validity of". Let's read carefully: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" - This explicitly matches proving a theory. "provide evidence for" is slightly weaker (evidence doesn't necessarily prove). In context, proving a theory means demonstrating it's true. I think 2 is the best match. 4 is formal proof (mathematical). 5 is test. 6,7,8,9 are irrelevant.

Therefore, sense 2 is correct
