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

Sentence: But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by <t>radiation</t>, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant.

Senses:
1. definition=energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
2. definition=the act of spreading outward from a central source
3. definition=syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., exposure to radioactive chemicals or to nuclear explosions); low doses cause diarrhea and nausea and vomiting and sometimes loss of hair; greater exposure can cause sterility and cataracts and some forms of cancer and other diseases; severe exposure can cause death within hours | examples=he was suffering from radiation
4. definition=the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay
5. definition=the spread of a group of organisms into new habitats
6. definition=a radial arrangement of nerve fibers connecting different parts of the brain
7. definition=(medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to a radioactive substance

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "radiation" is used in the sentence. The sentence is: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

We need to choose among the given senses, which are numbered 1 through 7. The sentence talks about genes being damaged by radiation, a chemical, or accident in cell division, leading to cells turning malignant (cancer). So the context is about damage to genes that can cause cancer. The sense of "radiation" here is likely related to energy that damages genes, such as ionizing radiation. Let's examine the definitions:

1. energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
2. the act of spreading outward from a central source
3. syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., ...); low doses cause ...
4. the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay
5. the spread of a group of organisms into new habitats
6. a radial arrangement of nerve fibers connecting different parts of the brain
7. (medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to a radioactive substance

In the sentence, "radiation" is listed as one of the potential causes of gene damage, alongside a chemical or chance accident. It's referring to the physical phenomenon that can damage DNA, i.e., ionizing radiation like X-rays, gamma rays, etc. That is sense 1: energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles. However, sense 4 also describes emission from nuclear decay. Sense 3 is about the syndrome (radiation sickness) from exposure to ionizing radiation, which is a medical condition, not the agent itself. Sense 7 is radiation therapy. The sentence does not refer to the syndrome (people don't damage genes by "suffering from radiation", but by exposure to radiation). So it's the energy itself. Sense 1 is the basic physics definition. Often, when we say "damaged by radiation", we mean the radiation energy, like ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, etc., which is sense 1. Sense 4 is specific to nuclear decay, but not all radiation that damages genes is from nuclear decay; it could be UV radiation from the sun or X-rays from machines. The broadest and most appropriate is sense 1. Despite sense 4 being plausible, sense 1 is the general term for the energy. The context doesn't specify nuclear decay. I'll go with

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

Sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer <t>work</t>, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

Senses given with numbers. We need to find the sense of "work" as used in this sentence. The phrase is: "their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work". This means that the proteins fail to function as they should; they no longer perform their intended function. They don't have the desired effect. So among the senses:

1. exert oneself (mental/physical) - no.
2. be employed - no.
3. have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected - "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought". That fits: proteins failing to have their effect.
4. perform as expected when applied - "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - also somewhat similar: function properly. But 'perform as expected when applied' is about functioning. Let's see: protein not working = not performing its function. Sense 4: "perform as expected when applied". Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". Both could fit. But I need to see which one is more precise. "proteins no longer work" means they fail to carry out their function, they are ineffective. The example for 3: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" – here "work" means to be effective. The example for 4: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" – here "work" means to operate, function. In biological context, proteins "work" meaning they perform their biological function, i.e., they have their intended effect. Often "work" for machines is sense 4, for systems/processes it might be 3. Let's examine definitions: 3. "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". 4. "perform as expected when applied". The protein is applied? No, it's not a tool. The growth-suppressing proteins are part of a process. If they no longer work, they no longer have the growth-suppressing effect. So sense 3 seems more appropriate: have an effect. Also, the example for 3 is about a process (voting process), whereas 4 is about a machine (washing machine). Proteins are more like a process/biological mechanism. So I'll go with 3.

Double-check: could it be 4? "perform as expected when applied" – proteins are not applied like a tool. They are produced and function. I think 3 is the closest. Answer: 3.

The sentence mentions "cell division", "genes are damaged", "growth-suppressing proteins", "turn malignant". This is clearly a biological context. The word "cells" refers to biological cells. So sense 2 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control <t>turn</t> malignant."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "turn" is used here. The senses are provided with definitions and examples. We need to return only the number.

Let's analyze the sentence. The phrase is "cells normally under control turn malignant." Here, "turn" is a linking verb meaning "become." The cells become malignant.

Looking at the senses:
Sense 3: definition=undergo a change or development | examples=The water turned into ice
Sense 7: definition=pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become | examples=The weather turned nasty
Sense 16: definition=cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics | examples=The princess turned the frog into a prince by kissing him

We need the intransitive sense, as the cells themselves turn malignant (no object). Sense 3: "undergo a change or development". Example: "The water turned into ice" uses "turned into", but our sentence uses "turn malignant" (adjective). Sense 7: "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become" with example "The weather turned nasty" (adjective). This closely matches "turn malignant" (become malignant). Sense 3 is similar but sense 7 explicitly mentions "become" and has an adjective example.

Sense 2: "undergo a transformation or a change of position or action | examples=We turned from Socialism to Capitalism". That's a change from one thing to another, often with "from...to". Not quite the same.

Sense 7 seems the best fit because it specifically says "become" and the example "The weather turned nasty" is analogous to "cells turn malignant."

Let's check if there's any other. Sense 14: "change color | examples=In Vermont, the leaves turn early". Leaves turn color, e.g., turn red. But that's a specific subcase of becoming. Sense 7 is more general and directly matches.

Thus, I will select 7.

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

Sentence: "The newly <t>identified</t> genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

The word is "identified" and it's used as a past participle modifying "genes". The phrase "newly identified genes" means genes that have recently been recognized or discovered as specific genes. In the context of science, "identify" a gene means to recognize it, to establish its identity, to determine what it is. So which sense matches?

Senses:
1. recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something. Examples: "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster" — matching a person to a known identity. This fits: genes are being recognized, their identity established.
2. give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name... examples: "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal" — this sense is about naming or listing someone, not about discovering their identity. "Newly identified genes" doesn't mean genes that were given a name, but genes that were discovered/established as an identity.
3. consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else.
4. conceive of as united or associated.
5. identify as in botany or biology, for example — this might be a specific sense: in biology, to identify a specimen, determine its species. The example says "identify as in botany or biology, for example". This could be a candidate because genes are biological entities. However, "identify" in biology often means classification, like identifying a plant species. But identifying genes is more about discovering them and establishing what they are. Sense 5 may be a special sub-sense for taxonomy. Often WordNet has a sense: "identify as in botany or biology, for example" (key, etc.). But the sentence is about genetics. It could still be that sense.
6. consider to be equal or the same. "He identified his brother as one of the fugitives" — this is about equating one person with another identity. Very similar to sense 1 but with "consider to be equal or the same".

Let's analyze carefully. The phrase "newly identified genes" likely means genes that have recently been discovered and recognized as distinct genes. That aligns best with sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity of. Sense 5 is "identify as in botany or biology, for example". In WordNet, that sense is usually "identify as in botany or biology, for example" (often with the gloss: "identify as belonging to a certain type"). Actually, I recall WordNet senses for "identify":
1. recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something; "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"
2. give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property; "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"; "The almanac identifies the auspicious months"
3. consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else; "He identified with the refugees"
4. conceive of as united or associated; "Sex activity is closely identified with the hypothalamus"
5. identify as in botany or biology, for example
6. consider to be equal or the same; "He identified his brother as one of the fugitives"

Sense 5 is typically "identify as in botany or biology, for example" which is a subordinate sense of "classify" or "assign to a class". In biological taxonomy, you identify a specimen as a particular species. However, identifying genes could be considered a form of classification. But "identify a gene" often means determining its sequence and function, establishing its identity as a distinct gene. It's more about recognition of its existence/identity than assigning it to a category. I'd lean towards sense 1. But let's see if sense 5 is more specific. In many disambiguation tasks, "newly identified species" would be sense 5. "Newly identified genes" might be similar. However, genes aren't identified by a taxonomic key like organisms; they are identified by molecular techniques, which is more about discovering their sequence and establishing their identity. I think sense 1 is the general "establish the identity" and fits best. Sense 5 is a narrower sense for taxonomy.

Let's check typical usage: "Scientists have identified a new gene responsible for..." Here, "identified" means they discovered it and recognized what it is. That's sense 1. WordNet's sense 1 is the most common and general. The example for sense 5 might be something like "The bird was identified as a robin." The phrase "newly identified genes" could just be sense 1. The sentence contrasts them with a family of genes discovered earlier. It's about discovery and identification. I'll go with sense 1.

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

We need to pick the sense that matches "family of genes". In biology, a "family of genes" refers to a group of genes that share a common attribute (like sequence similarity or function). It's like sense 3: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute". Although sense 6 is taxonomic, genes are not organisms, so it's not a taxonomic group containing genera; that's for organisms like "Felidae". For genes, it's more general: a family of genes is a set of genes that share characteristics. Sense 3 fits perfectly. Let's just verify: sense 3 definition: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute" with examples: "there are two classes of detergents". That's a class, category. A family of genes is a category. So sense 3.

Answer: 3

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

Sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes <t>discovered</t> in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

We need to pick the sense number (from 1 to 8) that best matches the usage.

Let's read the senses carefully:

1. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water

2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children

3. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding | examples=Roentgen discovered X-rays

4. definition=make a discovery | examples=She found that he had lied to her

5. definition=find unexpectedly | examples=the archeologists chanced upon an old tomb

6. definition=make known to the public information that was previously known only to a few people or that was meant to be kept a secret | examples=The auction house would not disclose the price at which the van Gogh had sold

7. definition=see for the first time; make a discovery | examples=Who discovered the North Pole?

8. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example

Now, sentence: "... genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes." This refers to the identification of those genes. The sense is that scientists found these genes. It's a scientific discovery. Sense 3: "make a discovery, make a new finding" with example "Roentgen discovered X-rays" fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about detecting existence, but the example is about detecting lead in water, more like testing. Sense 7 is "see for the first time; make a discovery" (North Pole). Sense 8 is "identify as in botany or biology, for example", which also might be relevant because genes are biology. However, the sentence says "discovered" not necessarily "identified" in a taxonomic sense. They discovered the genes, meaning they first found them. Sense 3 is broad and typical for scientific discoveries. Let's compare: Sense 3: "make a discovery, make a new finding | Roentgen discovered X-rays" - that's exactly the context: discovering genes. Sense 8 is specific to identifying something like classifying a species. The example doesn't give a sentence, just "identify as in botany or biology, for example". It might be "The botanist discovered a new species", but the sense 8 is "identify as in botany or biology", which implies classification. In the sentence, they discovered a family of genes, which means they found them for the first time, not just identified them as something. So sense 3 is most appropriate.

Thus, the answer is 3.

reasoning_content: We need to interpret "called" in the sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes." The word "called" here is used to introduce the name "oncogenes" for the family of genes. This is sense 1: assign a specified proper name to. Or maybe sense 12: greet, as with a prescribed form, title, or name? But sense 1 is exactly "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to", examples: "They named their son David". Here, the family of genes is called oncogenes, i.e., named oncogenes. That fits. Sense 12: "greet, as with a prescribed form, title, or name" - example: "He always addresses me with `Sir'". That's about addressing someone directly. So sense 1 is the one. The answer is 1.

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "present" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be <t>present</t> for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

We have two senses provided:

1. definition=temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration | examples=the present leader
2. definition=being or existing in a specified place | examples=the murderer is present in this room

In the sentence, "present" means that oncogenes must exist or be present in the cell (in the sense of being there, in a specified place, i.e., the cell). It's not about time (now existing). It's about existence in a place. So sense 2 is correct.

Return only the number.

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

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to <t>become</t> malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

We need to identify which of the numbered senses of "become" is used here. The senses are:

1. enter or assume a certain state or condition (example: He became annoyed when he heard the bad news)
2. undergo a change or development (example: The water turned into ice)
3. come into existence (example: What becomes has duration)
4. enhance the appearance of (example: Mourning becomes Electra)

In the sentence, "become malignant" means the cell changes from a normal state to a malignant state. It is entering a certain state (malignant). This matches sense 1: "enter or assume a certain state or condition." Sense 2 is similar but emphasizes the process of change or development. The example "The water turned into ice" is a physical transformation. However, "become malignant" is specifically about assuming a state. Often, dictionaries might have a sense for "to come to be" (state). Sense 1 is specifically "enter or assume a certain state or condition." That fits perfectly. Sense 2 is "undergo a change or development" with example "The water turned into ice." But note that "become" is not used in that example; it's "turned into". So sense 2 is more about the process. The primary sense here is 1. I'll go with 1.

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

Sentence: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have <t>found</t> them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

We need to match the usage of "found" to one of the 16 senses provided.

Analyze the sentence: "researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells" -> "them" refers to oncogenes. So researchers discovered or determined the existence/presence of oncogenes in normal cells and cancerous cells.

Let's look at the senses:
1. come upon, as if by accident; meet with -> "We find this idea in Plato" (not exactly, this is a deliberate research finding, not just accidental meeting)
2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of -> "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water". This fits: researchers determined the presence of oncogenes in normal cells.
3. come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost -> "Did you find your glasses?" (not searching for lost oncogenes)
4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study -> "find the product of two numbers". Could fit, but it's specifically about establishing a fact via study. Sense 2 is "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of". The example for 2: "She detected high levels of lead..." is very similar to "found them in normal cells".
5. come to believe on the basis of emotion... no.
6. perceive or be contemporaneous with... no.
7. get something for a specific purpose... no.
8. make a discovery, make a new finding -> "Roentgen discovered X-rays". This could also fit, but 8 is "make a discovery, make a new finding", and example is discovering X-rays. However, 2 is "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of". The sentence says "found them in normal cells", meaning they discovered their presence. 2 seems more precise because it's about determining existence/presence.
9. make a discovery -> "She found that he had lied to her" (more like found out a fact about a situation). Our sentence: "found them in normal cells" is finding a physical thing (oncogenes) in a location. Sense 2 explicitly states "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of", example: "detected high levels of lead". That matches perfectly: detecting the presence of oncogenes.
4 is "establish after a calculation, investigation...", example: "find the product of two numbers". That's more about deriving a result. Finding oncogenes in cells is an observation of presence. So 2 seems best.

Let's double-check. Sense 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding", example: "Roentgen discovered X-rays". But the verb is "found them in normal cells", which is more about detecting presence. 2 is a better fit because it's about determining presence. Also the example for 2 is "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water", which is structurally similar: find + substance + location. So I'll go with 2.

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

Sentence: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in <t>normal</t> as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=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. definition=in accordance with scientific laws
3. definition=being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child
4. definition=forming a right angle

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "normal" is used in the sentence. The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in <t>normal</t> as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves." The word "normal" is tagged. We need to match the usage with one of the four numbered senses.

Let's examine the context. They talk about oncogenes being found in "normal" cells (as opposed to cancerous cells). So "normal" here means non-cancerous, healthy, typical, not abnormal. It's about cells that are not malignant, i.e., conforming to the standard healthy state. It's not about scientific laws, average intelligence, or room temperature. So sense 1 seems appropriate: "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal". Examples: "serve wine at normal room temperature". That's a different context, but the definition fits: not abnormal. Normal cells = cells that are not abnormal (cancerous). Sense 3 is "being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development" with example "a perfectly normal child". That sense focuses on average in a developmental context. But here "normal" cells are simply non-cancerous, which is the standard healthy state, not necessarily "average" in the sense of intelligence or development. It's about conforming to a norm. Sense 1 is the most general sense of "conforming to a norm, not abnormal". Sense 3 is a more specific sub-sense about average limits in intelligence/development. The phrase "normal cells" typically means non-cancerous, healthy cells, which aligns with sense 1. I think sense 1 is correct.

Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, <t>suggesting</t> that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

Senses:
1. make a proposal, declare a plan for something | example: the senator proposed to abolish the sales tax

3. imply as a possibility | example: The evidence suggests a need for more clarification
4. suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine | example: Tetracycline is indicated in such cases
5. call to mind | example: this remark evoked sadness

We need to determine which sense is used for "suggesting" in the sentence. The sentence is about evidence (researchers have found them) leading to an implication that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. The word "suggesting" here means the evidence implies something as a possibility. It's not a proposal, not a hint, not a medical indication, not calling to mind. Sense 3: "imply as a possibility" fits perfectly. The example given: "The evidence suggests a need for more clarification" matches the structure: evidence suggests something. So answer is 3.

I'll return 3.

Senses:
1. definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | examples=cause a commotion
2. definition=cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner | examples=The ads induced me to buy a VCR

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence says: "oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves." Here, "cause" means "give rise to" or "make something happen" (cancer). It does not mean "cause someone to do something". So sense 1 fits: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur". Sense 2 is about causing an agent to act. So answer is 1.

Senses provided:
1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

We need to choose the sense that best matches the usage. "Recent months" means the months just past, i.e., of the immediate past. Sense 2 directly matches: "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time". Sense 1 is "new", fitting "recent graduates" meaning new graduates. In the context of time ("recent months"), it's not about being "new" but about being in the immediate past. So sense 2 is correct.

The instruction says to return only the number. So answer: 2

Sentence: "In recent <t>months</t>, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

Senses:
1. definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | examples=he paid the bill last month
2. definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill

We need to decide which sense matches "In recent months".

The phrase "recent months" refers to a period of time consisting of the last few months, meaning approximately the past couple of calendar months, but it's essentially a measure of time that is about a month long per unit. However, sense 1 is specifically about a calendar month (January, February, etc.), while sense 2 is about a time unit of approximately 30 days. When people say "in recent months", they are usually referring to calendar months in a loose sense, but it's often used interchangeably with "a time unit of 30 days". Let's see how the senses are differentiated. Sense 1: "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" with example "he paid the bill last month" (where "last month" likely refers to a specific named month, like January). Sense 2: "a time unit of approximately 30 days" with example "he was given a month to pay the bill" (a duration of 30 days, not tied to a specific calendar month).

"In recent months" - "recent" implies the past few months. Does it mean "recent calendar months" or just a duration? Usually, "months" in "recent months" means the most recent calendar months. Even if it's a duration, it's typically measured by calendar months. However, consider the phrase: "In recent months" refers to a period extending over several of the twelve divisions of the calendar year. For example, if today is April, "recent months" are January, February, March. Those are calendar months. The time unit sense is often used for periods like "a three-month project" (sense 2). But note: both senses are very close. The key is the example for sense 1: "he paid the bill last month" – "last month" refers to the previous calendar month. "In recent months" is analogous – "recent months" refers to the recent calendar months. So sense 1 seems correct. Sense 2 is typically for generic month durations. "A month to pay the bill" is any 30-day period. "In recent months" is typically grounded in the calendar. Let me double-check common dictionary definitions. Often "month" has a primary sense as a calendar month, and a secondary sense as a period of 30 days or four weeks. For instance, "in recent months" usually means "in the last few calendar months". I think 1 is the intended answer.

reasoning_content:
We need to identify the sense of "come" in the sentence: "In recent months, researchers have <t>come</t> to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert..."

The phrase is "have come to believe". This means they have reached a state of belief. The construction "come to + verb" indicates reaching a state or condition. Let's look at the senses.

Sense 4: "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position" with example "The water came to a boil". "Come to believe" fits this exactly: they reached a state of believing.

So numbered sense: 4.

Sentence: "In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

Senses:
1. any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
2. (astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer
3. a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Leo and Gemini
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

The sentence talks about "cancer genes", "oncogene", "tumor-suppressor gene", "malignant", "proliferating cells". This is clearly about the disease cancer. Sense 1 is the disease meaning. The other senses are astrological or biological genus. So the correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: "In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may <t>turn</t> proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged."

Senses list provided with numbers 1 to 26. We need to identify the correct sense.

Let's analyze the sentence. "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant" – Here, "turn" is used with an object ("proliferating cells") and a resultative adjective "malignant". It means "cause to become malignant". This is a causative sense: cause something to change into a different state.

Look at the senses:

1. change orientation or direction...
2. undergo a transformation...
3. undergo a change or development... (intransitive: The water turned into ice)
4. cause to move around or rotate...
5. change to the contrary...
6. pass to the other side of...
7. pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become... (intransitive: The weather turned nasty)
8. let (something) fall or spill...
9. move around an axis...
10. cause to move around a center so as to show another side...
11. to send or let go...
12. to break and turn over earth...
13. shape by rotating on a lathe...
14. change color...
15. twist suddenly so as to sprain...
16. cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics... (example: The princess turned the frog into a prince by kissing him)
17. accomplish by rotating...
18. get by buying and selling...
19. cause to move along an axis or into a new direction...
20. channel one's attention...
21. cause (a plastic object) to assume a crooked or angular form...
22. alter the functioning or setting of...
23. direct at someone...
24. have recourse to...
25. go sour or spoil...
26. become officially one year older...

In the sentence, "turn" is used transitively: "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant." This is a causative construction: cause something to become something. Sense 16 says: "cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics | examples=The princess turned the frog into a prince by kissing him". That is exactly "turn X into Y" or "turn X Y" (where Y is an adjective/noun phrase). Here "turn proliferating cells malignant" means cause the proliferating cells to become malignant. That matches sense 16.

Let's double-check: Some might think sense 7 ("pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become") but that's intransitive ("The weather turned nasty"). Here it's transitive with an object and a result complement. Sense 16 is the only transitive causative "turn into something different". The example given uses "into a prince", but the structure "turn [object] [adjective]" is the same causative change. So 16 is correct.

Thus, the answer is 16.

The sentence is about cancer genes, oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes, and proliferating cells turning malignant. This is clearly a biological context. The word "cells" here refers to biological cells, the basic structural and functional unit of organisms. That matches sense 2. So the answer is 2.

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

We need to determine which sense matches the use of "only" in the sentence. The sentence: "An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged." Meaning: The oncogene's action of turning cells malignant happens solely under the condition that the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged; it does not happen before or without that condition. This is a restrictive temporal or conditional sense: "only after" meaning "not until" or "never except when"? Sense 6: "never except when | call me only if your cold gets worse" seems similar: "call me only if your cold gets worse" means never except when your cold gets worse. "only after" means the turning malignant happens never except after the damaging. So it fits "never except when". Sense 1: "and nothing more" could be, but "only after" is more conditional/temporal. Sense 2: "without any others being included or involved" – "was entirely to blame" – not exactly. Sense 3: result, Sense 4: final outcome, Sense 5: except that (conjunction?), Sense 7: as recently as. The best match is sense 6: "never except when". So number 6.

Sentence: "In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been <t>damaged</t>."

Senses:
1. definition=inflict damage upon | examples=The snow damaged the roof
2. definition=suffer or be susceptible to damage | examples=These fine china cups damage easily

We need to determine which sense fits. The sentence is "... the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged." The gene is being acted upon (passive voice: "has been damaged"). The sense "inflict damage upon" is the transitive sense where the subject inflicts damage on an object. In the passive voice, the thing being damaged is the subject. So "the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged" means something inflicted damage upon it. This matches sense 1: inflict damage upon. Sense 2 is intransitive: something suffers damage, like "These fine china cups damage easily" meaning they are susceptible. In the sentence, it's not saying the gene damages easily; it says the gene has been damaged (by something). So it's the passive of the transitive verb. So answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to identify the correct sense of "inherited" from the given senses.

The sentence: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent."

The word is "inherited". The context clearly refers to genetic transmission from parents to offspring. Sense 3 is "receive by genetic transmission", with example "I inherited my good eyesight from my mother". That matches perfectly.

So the answer is 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two <t>copies</t>, one from each parent." We need to determine which numbered sense of "copy" is used. The senses are:

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 | example: she made a copy of the designer dress
3. matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. material suitable for a journalistic account | example: catastrophes make good copy

In the sentence, "copies" refers to the two versions of a gene inherited from each parent. These are not reproductions of a written record (sense 1), not printed matter (sense 3), and not journalistic material (sense 4). Sense 2 fits: a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing. In biology, genes come in copies (alleles) that are identical or similar. So the answer is 2.

We are asked which numbered sense of "parent" is used, and to return only the number.
Sense 1: a father or mother; one who begets or gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian.
Sense 2: an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained.

The sentence is about genes being inherited. In genetics, "parent" refers to the organism from which genes are inherited, not specifically a human father or mother in the social/guardian sense. While sense 1 could apply if we're talking about human parents, the sentence uses "parent" in a biological context explicitly about inheritance. Sense 2 defines "parent" as an organism from which younger ones are obtained, which fits the biological/genetic context more precisely. Therefore, sense 2 is used.

Sentence: "Either <t>copy</t> can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

Senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)

3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence is about cell growth, proteins, cancer, both copies. This is clearly a biological/genetic context: "copy" refers to a copy of a gene or chromosome. In biology, a gene copy is an identical or similar copy of a gene (e.g., alleles). This aligns with sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing". Sense 1 is about written records. Sense 3 is printing matter. Sense 4 is journalistic material. So sense 2 is the best fit.

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

Sentence: Either copy can make the proteins <t>needed</t> to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

Senses:
1. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
2. definition=have need of | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner
3. definition=have or feel a need for | examples=always needing friends and money

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Either copy can make the proteins <t>needed</t> to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

The word "needed" is inside <t> tags. We need to choose which numbered sense of "need" matches this usage. The senses provided:

1. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
2. definition=have need of | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner
3. definition=have or feel a need for | examples=always needing friends

We have to return only the number.

The word is "needed" used as a past participle in the phrase "proteins needed to control cell growth". This means "proteins that are needed to control cell growth". The verb "need" here means "require" or "have need of". Let's look at the senses:

Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper" - example: "It takes nerve to do what she did" (that seems like a weird example, maybe it's for a different word? But the definition is "require as useful, just, or proper"). That could fit "needed" meaning "required".

Sense 2: "have need of" - example: "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner" (where "wants" means "needs"). This sense is "have need of", which also fits.

Sense 3: "have or feel a need for" - example: "always needing friends". This implies a personal, emotional or felt need.

In the sentence, "proteins needed to control cell growth" is a passive construction, meaning "proteins that are needed". The subject is not a person feeling a need; it's an objective requirement. So sense 3 (have or feel a need for) is less likely because it's about feeling a need. Sense 1 and 2 are both about requirement. Often, dictionaries define "need" as: 1) require something because it is essential or very important; 2) expressing necessity or obligation. Here, the proteins are necessary. Sense 1 says "require as useful, just, or proper", which is more about moral or proper necessity? "It takes nerve..." example seems mismatched. Sense 2: "have need of" with example "This piano wants..." meaning "to need", as in "This piano needs the attention...". That is a standard sense of need: to require something. I'd say sense 2 is the most straightforward: "have need of". In the passive "needed", it means "had need of" by the cell growth process. So I'll choose 2.

But let's double-check: The phrase "proteins needed to control cell growth" can be rephrased as "proteins that are needed to control cell growth". Here, "needed" is a past participle. The sense is "required". Typically, "need" as a transitive verb means "to require; have need of". So sense 2 is "have need of". Sense 1 "require as useful, just, or proper" might be more about moral or situational necessity, like "She needed to be punished" (just), but the example is "It takes nerve..." which doesn't fit "need" at all - maybe the example is wrong or from a different context. Regardless, the definition "require as useful, just, or proper" vs "have need of": "proteins needed" is a straightforward requirement, not necessarily "useful, just, or proper". So 2 is better. Also, looking up typical dictionary senses for "need": 1) require something essential; 2) have to; 3) want. Sense 2 here is "have need of", which is the basic transitive verb. I'll go with 2.

Answer: 2.

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

Sentence: Either copy can make the proteins needed to <t>control</t> cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

Senses:
1. definition=exercise authoritative control or power over | examples=control the budget
2. definition=lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits | examples=moderate your alcohol intake
3. definition=handle and cause to function | examples=do not operate machinery after imbibing alcohol
4. definition=control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully, usually to one's advantage | examples=She manipulates her boss
5. definition=check or regulate (a scientific experiment) by conducting a parallel experiment or comparing with another standard | examples=Are you controlling for the temperature?
6. definition=verify by using a duplicate register for comparison | examples=control an account
7. definition=be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something | examples=He verified that the valves were closed
8. definition=have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of | examples=Do you control these data?

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "control" is used in the given sentence: "Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

The word is "control" in "proteins needed to control cell growth". We need to match this to one of the numbered senses.

Let's examine the senses:
1. exercise authoritative control or power over (e.g., control the budget) – authoritative, power over something. Could cell growth be controlled authoritatively? Not exactly; it's biological regulation.
2. lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits (e.g., moderate your alcohol intake) – control meaning to limit or restrain. "Control cell growth" could mean keep cell growth within limits, i.e., regulate/restrain growth so it doesn't go unchecked. In cancer context, uncontrolled cell growth is a hallmark. Proteins that control cell growth likely mean they regulate/restrain it to prevent excessive growth.
3. handle and cause to function (e.g., operate machinery) – doesn't fit "control cell growth". Proteins don't operate growth as a machine.
4. control or influence skillfully, usually to one's advantage (manipulate) – no, not skillful manipulation to one's advantage.
5. check or regulate (a scientific experiment) by conducting a parallel experiment or comparing with another standard – specifically a scientific control experiment.
6. verify by using a duplicate register for comparison – like accounting.
7. be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something – verifying.
8. have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of – e.g., control these data, understand them.

In the context of "proteins needed to control cell growth", the most appropriate sense is sense 2: hold or keep within limits, restrain. Cell growth control means regulating cell division and growth, keeping it within normal limits. In cancer, control is lost → uncontrolled growth. So sense 2.
