Target lemma: defect
Target surface form: defects
Context:
Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer. The team used a battery of the newly developed "gene probes, "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell. By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found <t>defects</t> in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome. The finding riveted medicine.

reasoning_content:
The context is about chromosomes and genetic defects. The defects are in chromosome 13, referring to missing pieces or abnormalities in the genetic material. This relates to a bodily system (genetic/chromosomal level).

Sense 1: "an imperfection in a bodily system" - examples: visual defects; defects in the lungs. This seems to fit well as it's about biological/bodily systems.
Sense 2: "a failing or deficiency" - more abstract.
Sense 3: "an imperfection in an object or machine" - physical objects.
Sense 4: "a mark or flaw that spoils the appearance" - surface blemishes.

The defects here are in chromosomes, which are part of a bodily system (genetic system). Sense 1 fits best.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "the second copy of chromosome 13" - this refers to a biological copy, something similar or identical to another thing. Chromosomes come in pairs (copies), so this is about a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing.

Sense 2 fits: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" with examples like "the clone was a copy of its ancestor" which is biologically relevant.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "exact" in the context: "they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome."

Here, "exact" means precisely the same location/area. It's used as an adjective modifying "area," meaning the precise or identical area.

Sense 1: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact" - examples: "an exact mind; an exact copy"
Sense 2: "(of ideas, images, representations, expressions) characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct" - synonyms: accurate, precise - examples: "a precise image; a precise measurement"

The context "the exact area" means the precise/same area. "Exact" here is modifying "area" (a physical location), not an idea, image, representation, or expression.

Sense 2 is specifically about ideas, images, representations, expressions - which doesn't fit well with "area" (a physical location).

Sense 1 talks about "strict and particular and complete accordance with fact" and gives the example "an exact copy" - which is about something being precisely identical. "The exact area" means the very same/identical area, which aligns with "an exact copy" (exact = identical/precise).

Actually, let me reconsider. "Exact area" means the precise/same location. The phrase "exact copy" in sense 1's examples is similar - it means an identical copy. "Exact area" = the precise/same area.

Sense 2 is restricted to "ideas, images, representations, expressions" - an "area" is a physical location, not an idea or representation.

So sense 1 seems like the better fit. "Exact" here means "the very same" or "precisely that" - marked by strict and particular accordance with fact (i.e., the exact/same area).

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "first" in the context: "they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome."
Here, "first" is used in contrast with "second". It indicates the first unit in a series (the first copy vs the second copy).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. first%3:00:00:: | preceding all others in time or space or degree
2. first%5:00:00:ordinal:00 | indicating the beginning unit in a series | synonyms=1st
3. first%5:00:02:opening:00 | serving to set in motion

5. first%5:00:00:best:00 | ranking above all others
6. first%3:00:03:: | highest in pitch or chief among parts

"first copy" vs "second copy" is clearly an ordinal usage. Sense 2 explicitly mentions "indicating the beginning unit in a series" and has the synonym "1st". This fits perfectly.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. finding%1:04:00:: - the act of determining the properties of something (a process/action).
2. finding%1:04:01:: - the decision of a court on issues of fact or law.
3. finding%1:17:00:: - something that is found. Examples: "the findings in the gastrointestinal tract indicate that he died several hours after dinner". This fits the context perfectly: "The finding" refers to the result of the research, i.e., "something that is found".

Therefore, sense 3 is the best choice.

Sense 3: "the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school and that is devoted to preventing or alleviating or curing diseases and injuries" with synonyms "practice of medicine" and example "he studied medicine at Harvard" - this fits well. The finding riveted the medical profession/field.

Sense 1 is about "the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques" - this is more specific to nonsurgical techniques.

Sense 2 is about medication/drugs - doesn't fit.

Sense 4 is about punishment - doesn't fit.

Between sense 1 and sense 3: The context talks about a finding that riveted medicine - this is about the profession/field as a whole, not just nonsurgical techniques. Sense 3 seems better.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "first" in the phrase "It was the first time anyone had showed that..."

Here, "first" is used to mean the earliest or initial instance in time - "the first time anyone had showed..." This means preceding all others in time.

Sense 1: "preceding all others in time or space or degree" - examples: "the first house on the right; the first day of spring" - This fits "the first time" perfectly.

Sense 2: "indicating the beginning unit in a series" - This is more about ordinal numbering (1st).

Sense 3: "serving to set in motion" - inaugural, initiative - doesn't fit.

Sense 4: "serving to begin" - beginning canto, first verse - This could potentially fit but it's more about something that serves to begin something else.

Sense 5: "ranking above all others" - foremost - doesn't fit.

Sense 6: "highest in pitch or chief among parts" - doesn't fit.

The phrase "the first time anyone had showed" means the earliest/initial time, which is "preceding all others in time." This matches sense 1.

Sense 2 is about ordinal numbers indicating the beginning unit in a series. "First time" could be seen as ordinal, but the usage here is more about temporal precedence - the earliest occurrence.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The first time" - is this ordinal (sense 2) or temporal precedence (sense 1)?

Sense 1: "preceding all others in time or space or degree" - examples include "the first day of spring" which is similar to "the first time."

Sense 2: "indicating the beginning unit in a series" - synonym "1st" - This is more about enumeration.

"The first time anyone had showed" = the earliest time, preceding all others in time. This fits sense 1 better, as "the first day of spring" example shows a similar temporal usage.

I'll go with sense 1.

The context is about a scientific team that demonstrated/proved that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to cancer. The sentence is: "It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."

This is about establishing the validity of something through scientific research/experiment. Let me look at the candidate senses:

Sense 2: definition=establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment | synonyms=prove, demonstrate, establish, shew | examples=The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound; The mathematician showed the validity of the conjecture

This fits perfectly. The scientific team established/proved through their research that the loss of both copies of a gene could lead to cancer. The example "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound" is very similar in structure and meaning.

Sense 3 is about providing evidence for, like "The blood test showed that he was the father" - this is more about providing evidence/testimony rather than establishing validity through experiment.

The distinction between sense 2 and sense 3: Sense 2 is about establishing validity through example, explanation, or experiment (like a proof). Sense 3 is about providing evidence for (like testimony).

In this context, the scientific team's research established the validity of a hypothesis through experiment. This matches sense 2 better. The phrase "showed that" followed by a proposition that was proven/demonstrated aligns with "The mathematician showed the validity of the conjecture."

So the answer is sense_index 2.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "the loss of both copies of the same gene" leading to cancer. This refers to the act or process of losing something (the genes). Let me analyze the senses:

1. loss%1:21:01:: - something that is lost (e.g., "the car was a total loss")
2. loss%1:22:00:: - gradual decline in amount or activity (e.g., "weight loss")
3. loss%1:04:00:: - the act of losing someone or something (e.g., "his loss was a shock")
4. loss%1:07:00:: - the disadvantage that results from losing something (synonyms: deprivation)
5. loss%1:11:01:: - the experience of losing a loved one
6. loss%1:21:00:: - financial loss
7. loss%1:11:00:: - military personnel lost
8. loss%1:11:02:: - euphemistic expressions for death

In the context "the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer," the word "loss" refers to the act of losing the genes (both copies). This is about the act of losing something, not the thing that is lost (the genes themselves are not called "a loss" here - rather, the "loss" is the event/process of losing them).

Sense 3 (loss%1:04:00::) - "the act of losing someone or something" - fits best. The example "everyone expected him to win so his loss was a shock" shows "loss" as the act of losing.

Sense 1 (loss%1:21:01::) - "something that is lost" - this would refer to the thing lost, like "the car was a total loss." In the context, "the loss of both copies" is about the act/event of losing, not the genes themselves being called "a loss."

So sense 3 is thebest fit.

The context is about genetics, specifically "both copies of the same gene". A gene copy is a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing (in genetics, organisms have two copies of each gene/chromosome - one from each parent).
Sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" - examples include "the clone was a copy of its ancestor". This fits the biological context of gene copies.
So the best sense is 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "same" in the context: "the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."

The sentence is talking about the loss of both copies of the "same" gene. This means it's referring to one particular gene (the same gene in both copies), not two different genes.

Sense 1: "same in identity" - examples: "the same man I saw yesterday; never wore the same dress twice" - This means identical in identity, referring to one and the same entity.

Sense 2: "closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree" - examples: "curtains the same color as the walls; two girls of the same age" - This means similar but not necessarily identical in identity.

Sense 3: "equal in amount or value" - synonyms: like - examples: "like amounts; equivalent amounts"

Sense 4: "unchanged in character or nature" - examples: "the village stayed the same; his attitude is the same as ever"

In the context, "both copies of the same gene" means both copies are of the identical gene (same identity). The two copies of chromosome 13 both had the same gene (same gene in identity), and losing both copies of that particular gene led to cancer.

So Sense 1 "same in identity" is the best fit. The "same gene" refers to one particular gene, and both copies of that identical gene were lost.

The answer is sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "lead" in the context: "...the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."
The sentence talks about a cause and effect. The loss of genes results in the eruption of cancer.
Looking at the senses:
Sense 2: lead%2:42:04:: | definition=have as a result or residue | examples=The water left a mark on the silk dress

The context: "It was extraordinarily satisfying," says Dr. Knudson, now at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center in Philadelphia. "I was convinced that what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers."
Dr. Knudson is expressing that the finding (the confirmation of his theory) gave him a deep sense of fulfillment, relief, and satisfaction—freedom from the worry of whether his theory was correct.
Sense 1 (hearty, solid, substantial) relates to nourishment/food. This doesn't fit the context.
Sense 2 (comforting, cheering) relates to providing freedom from worry. The discovery brought a sense of relief and satisfaction, confirming his conviction. "Satisfying" here means it brought emotional satisfaction, relief, and comfort (freedom from worry about whether his theory was correct).
While "satisfying" commonly means fulfilling or gratifying (which isn't explicitly listed as a sense here, but Sense 2 aligns more with the emotional aspect of being comforting/cheering/providing freedom from worry), Sense 2 is much closer to the intended meaning than Sense 1.
The discovery was extraordinarily comforting/satisfying because it confirmed his theory, alleviating the worry/uncertainty.
I will choose Sense 2.

The target word is "says" in the context: "It was extraordinarily satisfying," says Dr. Knudson, now at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center in Philadelphia.

Here, Dr. Knudson is being quoted as expressing something in words. He is stating/reporting his feelings about the finding.

Sense 1: express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you

This seems to be the most appropriate sense. Dr. Knudson is expressing in words his satisfaction with the finding.

Sense 2: report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war

This could also fit, as he is reporting or maintaining something. But sense 1 is more general and fits better for a direct quote of someone expressing their feelings.

Sense 8: utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office

This is also possible since he uttered the words aloud, but it's more about the act of saying simple utterances.

Looking at the context more carefully, "says" here is introducing a quote where Dr. Knudson is expressing his opinion/feeling. He's stating something in words.

Sense 1 (express in words) with synonyms "state, tell" and example "He said that he wanted to marry her" seems to be the best fit. This is a standard use of "say" to introduce a quoted statement.

Actually, let me reconsider. The context is "It was extraordinarily satisfying," says Dr. Knudson. He's reporting/maintaining that it was extraordinarily satisfying.

Sense 1 is about expressing in words - which is what's happening here.
Sense 2 is about reporting or maintaining (allege, aver) - which could also apply.

But sense 1 is the more general and common sense for introducing quotes. The example "He said that he wanted to marry her" is very similar in structure to the context.

I'll go with sense 1.

Context:
Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer. The team used a battery of the newly developed "gene probes, "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell. By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome. The finding riveted medicine. It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "now" in the context: "says Dr. Knudson, now at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center in Philadelphia."

Here, "now" is used to indicate Dr. Knudson's current affiliation - he is currently/at present at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center. This is contrasting with the past events being described (the historical narrative about the scientific discovery).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events" - This is for when narrating past events in present tense, like "President Kennedy now calls in the National Guard." Not quite right here.

2. "in these times; nowadays, today" - This is about general current times, like "we now rarely see horse-drawn vehicles." Not quite right - it's more about general present times vs. specific current moment.

3. "used to preface a command or reproof or request" - Not applicable.

4. "at the present moment; at present" - This fits. Dr. Knudson is at present at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center. The "now" indicates his current position.

5. "without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening" - Not applicable.

6. "(prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity" - Not applicable.

7. "in the immediate past" - Not applicable.

Sense 4 seems to be the best fit. "Dr. Knudson, now at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center" means he is currently/at present at that center. This is similar to the example "the now-aging dictator" which describes someone's current state.

Wait, let me reconsider sense 2 vs sense 4. Sense 2 is "in these times; nowadays, today" with examples about general current times. Sense 4 is "at the present moment; at present" with examples like "goods now on sale" and "the now-aging dictator."

The context "Dr. Knudson, now at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center" is describing his current position - at the present moment, he is at Fox Chase. This seems more like sense 4 "at the present moment" rather than sense 2 "in these times/modern era."

I'll go with sense 4.

Here, "true" means "consistent with fact or reality" - i.e., what holds/applies to retinoblastoma would also hold/apply to all cancers. This is sense 1: "consistent with fact or reality; not false".

The sentence is saying that the principle/finding that was true (accurate, correct, consistent with reality) for retinoblastoma would also be true for all cancers. This is clearly sense 1.

The context is: "I was convinced that what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers."

Here "true" means consistent with fact or reality, not false. The statement "what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers" means the property/fact that applied to retinoblastoma would also apply to all cancers.

Sense 1: consistent with fact or reality; not false. This fits perfectly - what was fact about retinoblastoma would be fact for all cancers.

Sense 5: conforming to definitive criteria. This could also apply ("what conforms to the criteria of retinoblastoma would conform to all cancers") but sense 1 is more natural here. The phrase "what was true of X" means "what was factually the case about X." This is sense 1.

Let me choose sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a scientific claim made by Dr. Knudson. He claimed that what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers. This is described as an "audacious claim."

Let me analyze the senses:

1. "invulnerable to fear or intimidation" - brave, fearless. This doesn't quite fit a claim. A claim isn't really "brave" in the sense of being fearless against danger.

2. "unrestrained by convention or propriety" - brazen, bold, shameless. This could fit - making a claim that extends from one specific cancer to ALL cancers could be seen as bold and unrestrained by conventional caution.

3. "disposed to venture or take risks" - daring, venturesome. This also fits - the claim is daring, it takes a risk by generalizing from one type of cancer to all cancers.

Let me think more carefully. The claim is described as "audacious" because it's a bold, daring generalization - extending findings about retinoblastoma to ALL cancers. This is about taking an intellectual risk, making a bold scientific leap.

Sense 3 "disposed to venture or take risks" with synonyms like "daring" seems to fit well - the claim is daring and venturesome.

Sense 2 "unrestrained by convention or propriety" with examples like "an audacious trick to pull" and synonyms like "brazen" - this has more of a negative connotation of being shameless or improper.

Sense 1 is about being brave/fearless, which doesn't quite fit a "claim."

I think sense 3 is the best fit - the claim is daring and venturesome, taking a risk by generalizing broadly. The example "audacious visions of the total conquest of space" is similar in that it's about a bold, daring vision that takes risks.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Audacious claim" - the claim itself is bold and daring. Sense 3 seems most appropriate because it's about being disposed to venture or take risks, which aligns with making a sweeping scientific claim that generalizes from one cancer type to all cancers.

I'll go with sense 3.

The target word is "young" describing Dr. Vogelstein, a "young molecular biologist at Johns Hopkins Medical School."

Let me analyze the context:
- Dr. Vogelstein is described as a "young molecular biologist"
- This refers to a person in an early period of life or career

Sense 1: "(used of living things especially persons) in an early period of life or development or growth" - synonyms=immature, examples=young people. This fits because it's describing a person who is young.

Sense 3: "suggestive of youth; vigorous and fresh" - synonyms=youthful, vernal, examples="he is young for his age." This could also apply, but it's more about appearing youthful rather than simply being young in age.

Sense 5: "not tried or tested by experience" - synonyms=unseasoned, untested, untried. This doesn't fit as well because the context doesn't emphasize inexperience; it's more about his age/career stage.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate because it's the straightforward description of a person being young (in an early period of life). The context is describing Dr. Vogelstein as a young person/professional, not necessarily commenting on his vigor or inexperience specifically.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "believed" in the context: "But in Baltimore, Dr. Vogelstein, a young molecular biologist at Johns Hopkins Medical School, believed Dr. Knudson was right, and set out to repeat the Cavenee experiment in cells from other cancers."

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. accept as true; take to be true (I believed his report)
2. judge or regard; look upon; judge (I believe her to be very smart)
3. be confident about something (I believe that he will come back from the war)
4. follow a credo; have a faith; be a believer
5. credit with veracity (You cannot believe this man)

Context: Dr. Vogelstein believed Dr. Knudson was right.
This means he accepted Knudson's claim as true.
Sense 1: "accept as true; take to be true" fits perfectly. Example: "I believed his report" -> "believed Dr. Knudson was right".
Sense 2: "judge or regard" usually takes a direct object followed by a complement (e.g., "believe her to be very smart"). Here the object is a clause ("Dr. Knudson was right").
Sense 3: "be confident about something" - maybe, but 1 is more direct for accepting a claim.
Sense 5: "credit with veracity" - means to believe someone (as a person or source). But here it's "believed Dr. Knudson was right" (believed a statement).

Let's evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2 vs Sense 5.
"believed Dr. Knudson was right" -> "accepted as true [that] Dr. Knudson was right".
Sense 1 is "accept as true; take to be true".
Sense 5 is "credit with veracity", like believing a person or a publication as a source.

Dr. Vogelstein accepted as true that Dr. Knudson was right.
Sense 1 seems the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"Dr. Vogelstein believed Dr. Knudson was right"
This means he accepts the statement "Dr. Knudson is right" as true.
Sense 1: accept as true; take to be true.

I will choose Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Dr. Vogelstein believing Dr. Knudson was "right" about his claim regarding retinoblastoma being true for all cancers.

"believed Dr. Knudson was right" - here "right" means correct in opinion or judgment.

Sense 5: definition="correct in opinion or judgment" | synonyms=correct | examples="time proved him right"
This fits perfectly. Dr. Knudson made an audacious claim, and Dr. Vogelstein believed he was correct in his opinion/judgment.

Sense 2: definition="free from error; especially conforming to fact or truth" | examples="the correct answer; the correct version"
This is also possible, but sense 5 ("correct in opinion or judgment") is more specific to the context of someone making a claim/claiming something and being right about it.

The example "time proved him right" is very close to "believed Dr. Knudson was right" - both refer to a person being right about their assertion/claim.

So the best sense is 5.

Target lemma: set_out
Target surface form: set out
Context:
The finding riveted medicine. It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer. "It was extraordinarily satisfying, "says Dr. Knudson, now at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center in Philadelphia. "I was convinced that what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers. "It was an audacious claim. But in Baltimore, Dr. Vogelstein, a young molecular biologist at Johns Hopkins Medical School, believed Dr. Knudson was right, and <t>set out</t> to repeat the Cavenee experiment in cells from other cancers. His was one of two research teams in 1984 to report dual chromosome losses for a rare childhood cancer of the kidney called Wilm's tumor.

reasoning_content:
The context says "set out to repeat the Cavenee experiment." This means they began the process of repeating the experiment. The sense "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" with synonyms like "begin" and "start" fits best. "Set out to [do something]" means to begin or undertake to do something.

Sense 3 is "leave" which doesn't fit.
Sense 2 is "lay out orderly" which doesn't fit.
Sense 1 is "begin" which fits perfectly with "set out to repeat."
