Target lemma: contact
Target surface form: contact
Context:
The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again). For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog. Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting. What is the risk associated with Cerenia? Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment). What are the precautions for the person who gives the medicine or comes into <t>contact</t> with the animal? Cerenia does not represent a particular risk for people.

The task is Word Sense Disambiguation for "particular" in the sentence: "Cerenia does not represent a <t>particular</t> risk for people."
The sentence is: "Cerenia does not represent a <t>particular</t> risk for people."

And the target lemma is "particular", surface form "particular".

I need to choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.

From the context: "Cerenia does not represent a particular risk for people."

It says "Cerenia was generally well tolerated..." and then "What is the risk associated with Cerenia?" and then "Cerenia does not represent a <t>particular</t> risk for people."

So, it's saying that it doesn't pose a particular risk, meaning probably no special or notable risk, or no specific risk.

In English, "not a particular risk" often means not especially risky, i.e., not exceptional or special in being risky.

But let's see candidates.

Candidate 3: surpassing what is common or usual or expected | synonyms=especial, exceptional, special | examples exceptional kindness

So "no particular risk" = not an exceptional risk, i.e., not special in riskiness.

Candidate 1: unique or specific to a person or thing or category | synonyms=peculiar, special

"particular risk" could be a risk specific to people.

But the sentence is "does not represent a particular risk for people" – implying it doesn't represent one that is particular (specific) for people.

But in context, it's likely to reassure that it's not a risk for people at all, or not particularly so.

The full context: "What are the precautions for the person who gives the medicine or comes into contact with the animal? Cerenia does not represent a <t>particular</t> risk for people."

So, it's answering that there are no precautions needed for people because it doesn't represent a particular risk for them.

Meaning, no special precautions, because no particular risk.

I think it's closest to sense  3: surpassing what is common or usual or expected, i.e., no exceptional risk.

Or sense 1, with special.

But synonyms in 3 include special, exceptional.

In safety contexts, "no particular risk" means no additional or special risk beyond what's expected.

I choose 3.

Confidence: fairly 60.

Let's see.

Upon better thought, in EU product info for Cerenia, likely from veterinary product, the phrase is standard: "does not represent a particular risk to humans" meaning no specific hazard.
