Target lemma: life
Target surface form: life
Context:
The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present 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. 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. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in <t>life</t>, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "life" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 The sentence is: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in <t>life</t>, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."

 The phrase "early in life" refers to the early period of a person's existence - the time shortly after birth or during youth/childhood/early years of existence.

 Let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. life%1:26:01:: - "a characteristic state or mode of living" (social life, city life) - This doesn't fit. "Early in life" isn't referring to a characteristic state or mode.

 2. life%1:09:00:: - "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - This is more abstract, about the experience. "Early in life" could work here but let's check others.

 3. life%1:26:02:: - "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" - This is about the course/span of existence. "Early in life" fits well here as it refers to the early part of the course of existence.

 4. life%1:26:00:: - "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - This is about the biological condition. "Early in the condition of living" doesn't quite fit.

 5. life%1:28:00:: - "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)" - This refers to the lifespan/period of functionality. "Early in life" = early in the period between birth and death. This is a strong candidate.

 6. life%1:28:01:: - "the period between birth and the present time" - This would mean "early in the period between birth and now" - but this is used when referring to someone's entire life up to now, e.g., "I have known him all his life". "Early in life" in the context means early in one's lifespan, not necessarily early in the period from birth to now (which would be tautological if the person is still alive). Actually, looking at the example: "I have known him all his life" - this sense seems to be about the duration from birth to present. But "early in life" usually means early in one's existence/lifespan.

 7. life%1:28:02:: - "the period from the present until death" - This is the remaining life. "Early in life" wouldn't fit here.

 8. life%1:18:00:: - "a living person" - "early in a living person" - doesn't fit.

 9. life%1:07:01:: - "animation and energy" - doesn't fit.

 10. life%1:03:00:: - "living things collectively" - doesn't fit.

 11. life%1:19:00:: - "the organic phenomenon" - doesn't fit.

 12. life%1:10:00:: - "an account of the series of events" - doesn't fit.

 13. life%1:16:00:: - "a motive for living" - doesn't fit.

 14. life%1:28:03:: - "a prison term" - doesn't fit.

 So the main candidates are:
 - Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"
 - Sense 5: "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)"
 - Sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time"

 Let's look more carefully at the distinction between sense 5 and sense 6.

 Sense 5 (life%1:28:00::): "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)" - examples: "the battery had a short life", "he lived a long and happy life". This refers to the lifespan, the total duration of existence.

 Sense 6 (life%1:28:01::): "the period between birth and the present time" - example: "I have known him all his life". This refers to the life span up to now.

 In the phrase "early in life", we are referring to the early part of a person's existence/lifespan. This aligns with sense 5 (the period from birth to death).

 However, sense 3 is also strong: "the course of existence of an individual" - "early in the course of existence".

 Let's compare WordNet definitions more carefully. In WordNet:
 - Sense 5 (life%1:28:00::) corresponds to the time period of one's existence (lifespan).
 - Sense 6 (life%1:28:01::) corresponds to "the period between birth and the present time" (i.e., one's life so far).

 "Early in life" means early in one's lifetime/lifespan. This is sense 5.

 But wait, let me check the exact WordNet sense keys to make sure I'm mapping correctly.

 The user provided:
 5. sense_key=life%1:28:00:: | definition=the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death) | synonyms=lifetime, lifespan | examples=the battery had a short life; he lived a long and happy life
 6. sense_key=life%1:28:01:: | definition=the period between birth and the present time | examples=I have known him all his life

 "Early in life" is an idiom that means during the early years of one's life. It refers to the early part of the lifespan (sense 5).

 Sense 3 is: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living". This is more about the narrative/events of one's life rather than the temporal period.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet:
 - life%1:28:00:: is "lifetime, lifespan, life" - the period during which something is functional
 - life%1:26:02:: is "life" - the course of existence of an individual (including the actions/events)

 "Early in life" could be interpreted as "early in the course of existence" (sense 3) or "early in the period of being alive" (sense 5).

 However, "early in life" is typically used to refer to the temporal period - early in one's lifespan. For example, "He learned to play piano early in life." This refers to the early years of one's existence.

 Between sense 3 and sense 5:
 - Sense 3 emphasizes the course/actions/events
 - Sense 5 emphasizes the period/duration (temporal extent)

 "Early in life" is about time, so sense 5 seems more appropriate.

 But let's look at sense 6 again: "the period between birth and the present time". If we say "early in life" about someone who is now old, we mean early in that period between their birth and now. But actually, sense 6 is specifically defined as the period from birth to present, whereas sense 5 is the period from birth to death (or end of functionality).

 The phrase "early in life" refers to the early part of one's life (from birth onwards), regardless of whether the person is still alive or not. But in this context, "in whom one copy is damaged early in life" - this refers to when the damage occurred - early in the person's lifespan.

 Sense 5 (life%1:28:00::) has synonyms "lifetime, lifespan" and the definition mentions "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)". This fits perfectly with "early in life" meaning early in the lifespan.

 Sense 3 (life%1:26:02::) is "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living". While "early in life" could modify this, the phrase is more temporal than narrative.

 Let me check if there's a convention for "early in life". In WordNet-based WSD, "early in life" is typically tagged as sense 5 (the lifespan sense) or sometimes sense 3. But given the options, sense 5 seems the best fit because:
 1. It refers to a period of time
 2. It has synonyms lifetime/lifespan
 3. The example "he lived a long and happy life" shows it's about the duration/period of existence

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others" - this is about the manner/course of living.

 For sense 5: "the battery had a short life; he lived a long and happy life" - this is about duration.

 "Early in life" = early in the duration of one's existence. So sense 5.

 Wait, I should reconsider sense 6. "The period between birth and the present time" - if someone says "early in my life", that would be sense 6? But the example is "I have known him all his life" - meaning all the time from his birth until now. "Early in his life" would mean early in that period. But sense 6 is specifically the period up to now, whereas "early in life" usually refers to the early part of one's entire lifespan (whether one is currently at the end or not).

 Actually, looking carefully: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life..." - this is referring to the person's lifespan. If the damage happens early in their life (early years), they are prone to cancer. This is clearly temporal and about the period of existence.

 I think sense 5 is the correct answer.

 But let me double-check by looking at similar disambiguation tasks. In SemCor or other corpora, "early in life" is often tagged with sense 5 or sense 3 depending on the fine distinctions.

 Actually, looking at the definition of sense 3 again: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living". This is WordNet 3.0 sense 4 or similar? Let me think about the WordNet structure.

 In WordNet 3.0:
 - life, living (noun) - the experience of being alive
 - life (noun) - the course of existence of an individual
 - life, lifetime, life-time, lifespan (noun) - the period during which something is functional
 - life (noun) - the period between birth and the present time
 - life (noun) - the period from the present until death

 The target sense for "early in life" is usually the "lifetime" sense (period duration).

 However, I notice that sense 6 is defined as "the period between birth and the present time". This is distinct from sense 5 which is the total potential period (birth to death).

 In the sentence: "damaged early in life" - this means damaged early in the person's lifespan/lifetime. It doesn't imply that the person is currently at the end of their life (so sense 6 might not fit perfectly because sense 6 is specifically the period up to now, and if the damage happened early in that period, it would be early in life, but the definition of sense 6 focuses on the whole span up to now as a unit).

 Actually, sense 6 is often used for "all his life" (meaning up to now). "Early in life" is more likely sense 5.

 But there's another possibility: sense 3. "The course of existence of an individual" - "early in the course of existence".

 Let me look at the examples for sense 3: "he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others". These emphasize the manner/way of living or the sequence of events.

 For sense 5: "the battery had a short life; he lived a long and happy life". These emphasize duration.

 "Early in life" clearly relates to time/duration, not manner. So sense 5 is better than sense 3.

 Between sense 5 and sense 6: sense 5 is the lifespan (birth to death), sense 6 is life-so-far (birth to present). "Early in life" refers to the early part of the lifespan, not specifically early in the period up to now (though technically if the person is still alive, they are the same). But sense 5 is the more general term for the duration of one's existence.

 Also, sense 5 has the synonym "lifetime", and "early in one's lifetime" is synonymous with "early in life".

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 5.

 Wait, I need to be careful. The user lists the senses with indices 1-14. The index corresponds to the number in the list.

 So:
 1. sense_key=life%1:26:01::
 2. sense_key=life%1:09:00::
 3. sense_key=life%1:26:02::
 4. sense_key=life%1:26:00::
 5. sense_key=life%1:28:00::
 6. sense_key=life%1:28:01::
 7. sense_key=life%1:28:02::
 8. sense_key=life%1:18:00::
 9. sense_key=life%1:07:01::
 10. sense_key=life%1:03:00::
 11. sense_key=life%1:19:00::
 12. sense_key=life%1:10:00::
 13. sense_key=life%1:16:00::
 14. sense_key=life%1:28:03::

 So if I choose sense 5, the answer is {"sense_index": 5}.

 But let me reconsider sense 3 one more time. Is "life" in "early in life" referring to the course of existence (the sequence of events/actions) or the time period?

 In "damaged early in life", it means the damage occurred at an early time in the person's existence. This is temporal.

 Sense 5 is definitely about the time period.

 One final check: could it be sense 4? "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - "early in the condition of being alive"? No, that doesn't work.

 Could it be sense 2? "the experience of being alive" - "early in the experience"? No.

 So sense 5 is the best choice.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet gloss for sense 5 again: "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)". This fits biological life perfectly.

 And the example "he lived a long and happy life" parallels "early in life" (where life = the period one lives).

 I will go with sense_index: 5.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "especially" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is <t>especially</t> prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."
 - The meaning here is that such a person is particularly or to a greater extent prone to cancer compared to others.
 - It's emphasizing that this specific group has a higher degree of susceptibility to cancer.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=especially%4:02:00:: | definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | synonyms=particularly, peculiarly, specially | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling; a particularly gruesome attack
    - This sense means "particularly" or to a greater degree than usual/common.
    - In the context, the person is more prone to cancer than the general population.
    - This fits well.

 2. sense_key=especially%4:02:01:: | definition=in a special manner | synonyms=specially | examples=a specially arranged dinner
    - This sense means "in a special manner" or "specifically".
    - This would imply the person is prone to cancer in a special way, which doesn't fit the context.
    - The context is about degree/extent of proneness, not the manner in which they are prone.

 The context clearly indicates a comparison of degree: "especially prone to cancer" means "particularly prone to cancer" or "to a greater extent prone to cancer than is common." This matches sense 1.

 Sense 2 would be used in contexts like "The dinner was especially arranged" meaning arranged in a special manner, which is not what we have here.

 Therefore, the correct sense is index 1.

 Wait, I need to check the format. The user wants:
 {"sense_index": 3}

 But the senses are numbered 1 and 2 in the candidate list. So I should return:
 {"sense_index": 1}

 Let me double-check:
 - Sense 1: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" - this is the "particularly" sense.
 - Sense 2: "in a special manner" - this is the "specially" sense.

 The example "he was particularly fussy about spelling" shows that sense 1 is used for emphasizing a higher degree of a quality.

 In the target sentence: "especially prone to cancer" - this means particularly prone, or to a greater degree prone than others. This is clearly sense 1.

 So the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "cancer" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses genes, oncogenes, malignant cells, tumor-suppressor genes, cell growth, and cancer development
 - It mentions "cancerous cells"
 - It talks about "cancer genes"
 - It mentions "cancer to arise"
 - It mentions "cancer to develop"
 - It mentions "cancer-susceptible individuals"
 - It mentions "predictive cancer diagnosis"

 This is clearly about the disease/medical condition, not the astrological sign or the constellation or the genus of crabs.

 Looking at the candidate senses:
 1. sense_key=cancer%1:26:00:: - This is the disease sense: "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division..."
 2. sense_key=cancer%1:18:00:: - Astrology person born under the sign

 4. sense_key=cancer%1:15:00:: - Zodiac sign
 5. sense_key=cancer%1:05:00:: - Genus of crabs (biology/taxonomy)

 The context is clearly about the medical disease. The target word "cancer" appears in the phrase "prone to <t>cancer</t>" and is surrounded by discussion of oncogenes, malignant cells, tumors, and genetic predisposition to the disease.

 Therefore, the correct sense is sense 1 (index 1 in the list provided).

 The user wants the output as: {"sense_index": 1}

 Wait, let me check the indexing. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=cancer%1:26:00:: ...

 3. sense_key=cancer%1:17:00:: ...
 4. sense_key=cancer%1:15:00:: ...
 5. sense_key=cancer%1:05:00:: ...

 So the first one is index 1.

 The instructions say: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

 So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

 Let me double-check the context to make sure I'm not missing anything:
 - "suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves"
 - "the two types of cancer genes"
 - "for cancer to arise"
 - "prone to cancer"
 - "for a cancer to develop"
 - "cancer-susceptible individuals"
 - "predictive cancer diagnosis"

 Yes, this is definitely the disease sense. The other senses (astrology, constellation, crab genus) are completely irrelevant to this biomedical text.

 The answer is sense_index 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "only" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the 7 candidate senses provided.

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence is: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need <t>only</t> lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."

The phrase "need only lose" means that the person merely needs to lose the other copy, or simply needs to lose the other copy. It's emphasizing that the requirement is minimal - just losing the other copy (and nothing more) is sufficient.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=only%4:02:02:: | definition=and nothing more | synonyms=merely, simply, just, but | examples=I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time
   - This seems to fit. "need only lose" = "need merely lose" or "need simply lose". The meaning is "and nothing more" - he merely needs to lose the other copy.

2. sense_key=only%4:02:01:: | definition=without any others being included or involved | synonyms=entirely, exclusively, solely, alone | examples=was entirely to blame; a school devoted entirely to the needs of problem children
   - This suggests exclusivity. While "only" can mean this, in the phrase "need only", it's not about exclusivity but about the minimal requirement.

3. sense_key=only%4:02:00:: | definition=with nevertheless the final result | examples=He arrived only to find his wife dead; We won only to lose again in the next round
   - This is the "only to" construction indicating an unfortunate or unexpected result. Not applicable here.

4. sense_key=only%4:02:04:: | definition=in the final outcome | examples=These news will only make you more upset
   - This suggests a result or consequence. Not the right meaning here.

5. sense_key=only%4:02:06:: | definition=except that | examples=It was the same story; only this time she came out better
   - This is a conjunction usage. Not applicable here.

6. sense_key=only%4:02:03:: | definition=never except when | synonyms=only if, only when | examples=call me only if your cold gets worse
   - This is conditional. Not the right meaning.

7. sense_key=only%4:02:05:: | definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago
   - Temporal meaning. Not applicable.

The phrase "need only" is an idiomatic expression meaning "need merely" or "need just". This corresponds to sense 1: "and nothing more" with synonyms merely, simply, just.

In the sentence: "he need only lose the other copy" = "he need merely lose the other copy" = "he need simply lose the other copy" = "he need just lose the other copy".

This matches sense 1 perfectly.

Sense 2 (exclusively) would suggest he needs to lose the other copy and nothing else, but the emphasis here is on the minimal action required (merely losing it), not on exclusivity (losing it and not doing other things).

Actually, let me reconsider. In "need only lose", the word "only" modifies "lose" to indicate that losing the other copy is the sole requirement - nothing else is needed. This could potentially be sense 2 (without any others being included or involved).

But looking at the examples for sense 2: "was entirely to blame", "exclusively", "solely", "alone". These suggest that the subject is the only one responsible or involved.

In "need only lose", the meaning is that the action of losing the other copy is sufficient - nothing more is required. This aligns with sense 1 ("and nothing more").

Let me check WordNet or standard dictionary definitions. In standard usage, "need only" is equivalent to "need merely".

For example:
- "You need only ask" = "You need merely ask" = "You only need to ask"
- This is the adverbial sense of "only" meaning "solely" or "merely" or "just".

Between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1: "and nothing more" - focusing on the minimal nature, the "mere" aspect
- Sense 2: "without any others being included or involved" - focusing on exclusivity

In "he need only lose the other copy", the meaning is that it is sufficient for him to lose the other copy - that's all that is required. This is closer to sense 1.

But wait, looking at the WordNet sense keys:
- only%4:02:02:: is "and nothing more" with synonyms merely, simply, just, but
- only%4:02:01:: is "without any others being included or involved" with synonyms entirely, exclusively, solely, alone

The phrase "need only" is typically classified as sense 1 in WordNet. The "but" synonym is interesting - "he need but lose" is archaic but means the same as "he need only lose".

Actually, looking at the examples for sense 1: "I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time" - these show the "merely/simply" usage.

For sense 2: "was entirely to blame; a school devoted entirely to the needs of problem children" - these show the "exclusively" usage.

In our sentence: "he need only lose the other copy" - this is saying he merely needs to lose the other copy, or simply needs to lose the other copy. This is definitely sense 1.

The construction "need only" + verb is a standard use of "only" in the sense of "merely" or "just".

Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists:
1. sense_key=only%4:02:02::
2. sense_key=only%4:02:01::
3. sense_key=only%4:02:00::
4. sense_key=only%4:02:04::
5. sense_key=only%4:02:06::
6. sense_key=only%4:02:03::
7. sense_key=only%4:02:05::

So sense 1 in the list is only%4:02:02:: (and nothing more).
Sense 2 in the list is only%4:02:01:: (without any others...).

I believe the correct sense is the first one in the list (index 1), which is only%4:02:02::.

Let me double-check by considering if it could be sense 2. If we say "he need only lose the other copy", could this mean "he need exclusively lose the other copy" (without anything else being involved)? That doesn't quite fit. The meaning is clearly "he merely needs to lose the other copy" or "he simply needs to lose the other copy".

Also, the word "only" here is synonymous with "merely", which is listed as a synonym for sense 1.

Therefore, sense_index: 1.

Target lemma: lose
Target surface form: lose
Context:
The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present 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. 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. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only <t>lose</t> the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "lose" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 - The text is about tumor-suppressor genes and cancer development.
 - Key sentence: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only <t>lose</t> the other copy for a cancer to develop."
 - The context here is about losing the second copy of a tumor-suppressor gene (the other copy).
 - The person already has one defective copy, and needs to "lose" the other (functional) copy for cancer to develop.
 - This means losing possession of, or ceasing to have, the functional gene copy.

 Looking at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=lose%2:40:02:: | definition=fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense | examples=She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat
    - This seems to fit. The person would cease to have the functional copy of the gene. It's about failing to keep/maintain possession of the gene copy.

 2. sense_key=lose%2:33:00:: | definition=fail to win
    - Not relevant here. Not about winning/losing a competition.

 3. sense_key=lose%2:37:00:: | definition=suffer the loss of a person through death or removal
    - This is about losing people (death), not about losing a gene copy.

 4. sense_key=lose%2:35:00:: | definition=place (something) where one cannot find it again | synonyms=misplace, mislay
    - This is about misplacing physical objects. Genes are not "misplaced" in this sense.

 5. sense_key=lose%2:40:01:: | definition=miss from one's possessions; lose sight of
    - Similar to sense 1, but "miss from one's possessions" is slightly different from "cease to have". However, sense 1 seems more appropriate for ceasing to have a genetic component.

 6. sense_key=lose%2:39:00:: | definition=allow to go out of sight
    - Not relevant.

 7. sense_key=lose%2:40:06:: | definition=fail to make money in a business; make a loss or fail to profit
    - Financial context, not relevant.

 8. sense_key=lose%2:40:00:: | definition=fail to get or obtain
    - This is about failing to acquire something. But here, the person already has the gene copy (inherited) and needs to lose it (cease to have it), not fail to get it.

 9. sense_key=lose%2:33:01:: | definition=retreat
    - Not relevant.

 10. sense_key=lose%2:39:01:: | definition=fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind
    - Not relevant.

 11. sense_key=lose%2:30:03:: | definition=be set at a disadvantage | synonyms=suffer
    - "Suffer" is the synonym here, but the specific meaning is about being at a disadvantage. While losing a gene might put one at a disadvantage, the direct meaning is about ceasing to possess the gene.

 Comparing sense 1 and sense 5:
 Sense 1: "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense"
 Sense 5: "miss from one's possessions; lose sight of"

 Sense 1 seems better because:
 - The gene copy is something that is maintained/kept by the cell/organism.
 - It is ceasing to have it (either through damage, mutation, or deletion).
 - Sense 5 focuses more on "lose sight of" or missing from possession in the sense of not being able to locate it, which is less appropriate for genetic material being damaged/destroyed.

 Sense 8 is "fail to get or obtain" - this is wrong because the person already has the gene (inherited), they need to lose (cease to have) the remaining functional copy.

 Therefore, sense 1 (index 1) is the best choice: "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense"

 Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=lose%2:40:02::
 2. sense_key=lose%2:33:00::
 ...

 So the index numbers correspond to the list order.

 Sense 1: lose%2:40:02:: - "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have..."
 This fits perfectly: the person needs to lose (cease to have) the other copy of the gene.

 Actually, looking carefully at the WordNet sense keys:
 - lose%2:40:02:: is "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense"
 - lose%2:40:01:: is "miss from one's possessions; lose sight of"
 - lose%2:40:00:: is "fail to get or obtain"

 In biology/genetics contexts, when we say a cell "loses" a gene copy, we mean it ceases to have it (e.g., through deletion, damage, etc.). This matches sense 1.

 The phrase "he need only lose the other copy" means he only needs to cease having the other copy (e.g., through damage or mutation).

 So the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "other" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence is: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the <t>other</t> copy for a cancer to develop."

The context is discussing tumor-suppressor genes, which are inherited in two copies (one from each parent). The text explains that either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

The specific sentence says: if someone has one defective copy (or one gets damaged early), they only need to lose the "other" copy for cancer to develop.

So here, "other" refers to the second copy of the gene - the one that wasn't already defective or damaged. It's referring to the remaining copy of the two copies mentioned.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=other%3:00:00:: | definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day; the construction of highways and other public works
   - This seems to be the basic sense of "other" meaning "the second of two" or "the remaining one" or "different from the one mentioned".
   - The definition says "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied"
   - In the context, we have two copies of the gene. One is defective/damaged, and the "other" is the remaining one.

2. sense_key=other%5:00:00:past:00 | definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
   - This refers to time, like "the other day". Not relevant here.

3. sense_key=other%5:00:02:past:00 | definition=belonging to the distant past | synonyms=early, former | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe; former generations
   - This is about the distant past. Not relevant.

4. sense_key=other%5:00:00:strange:00 | definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail
   - This is the "otherworldly" or strange sense. Not relevant.

Sense 1 is clearly the correct one. The "other copy" means the second copy of the gene, the one not already mentioned as being defective or damaged. It's the standard determiner/pronoun use of "other" to refer to the alternative or remaining item in a pair.

The context explicitly mentions "inherited in two copies, one from each parent" and discusses losing "the other copy" after having one defective copy. This is the classic "one... the other..." construction.

So the answer should be sense_index: 1.

Wait, let me double-check the sense keys. The user says:
1. sense_key=other%3:00:00::
2. sense_key=other%5:00:00:past:00
3. sense_key=other%5:00:02:past:00
4. sense_key=other%5:00:00:strange:00

So the indices appear to be 1, 2, 3, 4 as listed.

Sense 1 matches: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - yes, the other copy is not the defective one mentioned, it's the remaining one.

Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "copy" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about genes, specifically tumor-suppressor genes.
- It mentions: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent."
- Then: "Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth..."
- And: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene..."
- The target word appears in: "...he need only lose the other <t>copy</t> for a cancer to develop."

So here, "copy" refers to one of two instances of a gene that a person inherits - one from each parent. It's talking about the physical/genetic material - a version or instance of the gene.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=copy%1:10:00:: | definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record) | synonyms=transcript
   - This is about written records, documents. Not relevant to genes.

2. sense_key=copy%1:06:00:: | definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress; the clone was a copy of its ancestor
   - This refers to a duplicate, replica, or one of multiple similar/identical things.
   - In genetics, when we say "two copies of a gene," we mean two instances/versions of the gene (one from each parent) that are similar or identical.
   - This seems like the best fit. The gene copies are things (genes) that are similar/identical to each other.

3. sense_key=copy%1:10:01:: | definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials | synonyms=written matter
   - This is about text for publication. Not relevant.

4. sense_key=copy%1:10:02:: | definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy
   - This is about news material. Not relevant.

Sense 2 is the only one that makes sense for "copies" of genes. In biology, when we talk about having two "copies" of a chromosome or gene, we mean two instances - one maternal and one paternal. These are essentially duplicates or versions of the same genetic information.

The definition "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" fits well because the two gene copies are similar/identical versions of the same gene locus.

Therefore, the answer should be sense_index 2.

Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists:
1. sense_key=copy%1:10:00::
2. sense_key=copy%1:06:00::
3. sense_key=copy%1:10:01::
4. sense_key=copy%1:10:02::

So sense 2 is copy%1:06:00:: - the physical object/thing sense.

Yes, this is correct. In WordNet, copy%1:06:00:: is "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" which is the right sense for genetic copies.

The JSON should be: {"sense_index": 2}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "cancer" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses genes, oncogenes, malignant cells, tumor-suppressor genes, cell growth, and medical/genetic aspects of cancer.
 - Key phrases: "cancerous cells", "don't cause cancer by themselves", "two types of cancer genes", "for cancer to arise", "prone to cancer", "for a cancer to develop", "cancer-susceptible individuals", "predictive cancer diagnosis"

 The target word "cancer" appears in the phrase "for a <t>cancer</t> to develop" and is clearly referring to the disease/medical condition.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:
 1. sense_key=cancer%1:26:00:: - definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division... (This is the disease sense)
 2. sense_key=cancer%1:18:00:: - definition=(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer (Astrological sign - person)
 3. sense_key=cancer%1:17:00:: - definition=a small zodiacal constellation... (Constellation)

 5. sense_key=cancer%1:05:00:: - definition=type genus of the family Cancridae... (Crab genus)

 The context is clearly medical/biological, discussing malignant growths, tumors, cell division, etc. The word "cancer" here refers to the disease.

 Sense 1 is the only one that refers to the medical condition (malignant growth/tumor).

 Therefore, the correct sense index is 1.

 Wait, I need to check the format. The user wants a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}. So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

 Let me double-check:
 - The context is about oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes, malignant cells, and developing cancer as a disease.
 - "for a cancer to develop" - clearly referring to the disease developing in a person.
 - All other senses are about astrology (zodiac sign, constellation) or biology (genus of crabs).

 So yes, sense 1 is correct.

A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to <t>develop</t>. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "develop" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence in question is: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to <t>develop</t>."

The context is about cancer genetics. The text explains that tumor-suppressor genes come in two copies, and both must be impaired for cancer to arise. If someone is born with one defective copy or loses one early in life, they only need to lose the other copy for cancer to develop.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. develop%2:36:01:: - make something new (product, creation)
2. develop%2:36:00:: - work out (theory)
3. develop%2:30:06:: - gain through experience (acquire)
4. develop%2:29:00:: - come to have/undergo change (physical features)
5. develop%2:42:00:: - come into existence; take on form or shape
6. develop%2:30:04:: - change the use of (develop land)
7. develop%2:32:00:: - elaborate (theories)
8. develop%2:31:00:: - create by training/teaching

12. develop%2:30:01:: - cause to grow and differentiate
13. develop%2:36:09:: - generate gradually
14. develop%2:30:10:: - grow emotionally or mature
15. develop%2:39:00:: - make visible (photography)
16. develop%2:35:04:: - superimpose (geometry)
17. develop%2:33:03:: - move pieces (chess)

19. develop%2:30:13:: - elaborate musically
20. develop%2:30:03:: - happen (break, recrudesce)
21. develop%2:30:12:: - expand in series (math)

The phrase "for a cancer to develop" means for cancer to come into existence, to arise, to begin to exist. Cancer is a disease that develops/grows/arises.

Looking at the options:
- Sense 5: "come into existence; take on form or shape" - synonyms: originate, arise, rise, uprise, spring up, grow. Example: "A new religious movement originated in that country; a love that sprang up from friendship"
- Sense 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; The country developed into a mighty superpower"
- Sense 20: "happen" - synonyms: break, recrudesce. Example: "Report the news as it develops"

The context is about cancer beginning to exist or arising. When we say "cancer develops", we mean cancer comes into existence or begins to manifest.

Sense 5 seems to fit best: "come into existence; take on form or shape". The synonyms include "arise" and "originate", which fit well with cancer arising.

Sense 10 is also a possibility: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process". This could work too, as cancer grows/evolves.

However, looking at the specific context: "he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop" - this implies that once the second copy is lost, cancer will come into existence/arise.

Sense 5: develop%2:42:00:: - come into existence; take on form or shape
Sense 10: develop%2:30:00:: - grow, progress, unfold, or evolve...

But wait, let's check the WordNet sense keys more carefully. The format is develop%2:XX:YY:: where XX and YY are specific identifiers.

Actually, looking at common usage of "develop" in medical contexts:
- "The patient developed symptoms" - this would be sense 4 (come to have physical features/attributes)
- "Cancer develops" - this is about the disease coming into existence or growing

Between sense 5 and sense 10:
- Sense 5 focuses on "coming into existence" (originate, arise)
- Sense 10 focuses on "growing/unfolding/evolving"

For cancer specifically, when we say "cancer develops", we typically mean it originates or comes into being. However, sense 10 with "grow" and "evolve" also fits because cancer is a biological process that grows.

But looking at the examples for sense 10: "A flower developed on the branch" - this is about something growing on something else.
Example: "The country developed into a mighty superpower" - this is about gradual change/progression.

For sense 5: "A new religious movement originated in that country" - about originating/arising.

In the context: "for a cancer to develop" - cancer is the subject. The cancer comes into existence once the second copy is lost.

Actually, looking at medical dictionary definitions, cancer "develops" means it begins to exist or grows from a small group of cells.

But let's look at sense 20: "happen" - "Report the news as it develops". This is about events unfolding/happening over time.

Sense 4: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" - examples include "The patient developed abdominal pains". This is very close! "The patient developed cancer" would be a classic medical usage.

Wait, sense 4 is develop%2:29:00:: with definition "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". The examples include "He grew a beard; The patient developed abdominal pains".

But in our sentence, the subject is "cancer", not the patient. It's "for a cancer to develop", not "the patient developed cancer".

So: "a cancer to develop" - here cancer is the thing coming into existence.

Sense 5: "come into existence; take on form or shape" - this fits perfectly. Cancer comes into existence.
Synonyms: originate, arise, rise, uprise, spring up, grow.

Sense 10: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".

Both could work, but sense 5 seems more focused on the inception/origination, while sense 10 is more about the process of growth/evolution.

In the phrase "for a cancer to develop", given the context of losing the second copy of the gene (a discrete event), the cancer would arise or come into existence. The text is talking about the conditions necessary for cancer to begin.

Also, looking at sense 20: "happen" with synonyms "break, recrudesce". "Break" can mean "to break out" (like a disease). But the examples suggest news events rather than diseases.

Let me reconsider sense 4. Even though the example is "The patient developed abdominal pains", if we look at the definition "come to have or undergo a change", could "cancer develops" mean cancer undergoes a change? No, that doesn't make sense. The cancer itself is the thing that comes to be.

Actually, looking at usage, diseases "develop" meaning they originate or arise.

Sense 5 is "come into existence; take on form or shape".
Sense 10 is "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve".

I think sense 5 is the best fit because cancer arising from genetic damage is about the cancer coming into existence (originating) when the conditions are met (loss of the second copy).

But let me double-check if there's a specific medical sense. In the list provided, sense 4 mentions "The patient developed abdominal pains" which is medical, but that's the patient as subject. Here we have cancer as the subject.

Between 5 and 10, I think 5 is slightly better because of the "arise" synonym which matches "cancer arises". However, 10 is also strong because of the "grow" aspect.

Wait, I should look at the examples for sense 10 again: "A flower developed on the branch" - this is an organism/structure growing. "The country developed" - gradual process.

For sense 5: "A new religious movement originated" - came into being.

Given the context: "he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop" means that losing the copy causes cancer to come into existence.

I think sense 5 (develop%2:42:00::) is the correct choice.

But I want to be careful. Is there any other sense?
Sense 20 "happen" - could "cancer develops" mean "cancer happens"? "These political movements recrudesce from time to time" - recrudesce means to break out again. But cancer developing is not typically described as "happening" in the sense of breaking out (though "break out" is used for diseases).

Actually, looking at WordNet, sense 20 has synonym "break" which can mean "break out" (of disease).

But sense 4 with "The patient developed..." is the transitive-like usage where the patient is the subject. Here, "cancer" is the subject of "develop" (to develop).

I think I'll go with sense 5.

Wait, I need to check the indices. The user wants the sense_index. Looking at the list:
1. sense_key=develop%2:36:01::
2. sense_key=develop%2:36:00::
3. sense_key= develop%2:30:06::
...
5. sense_key=develop%2:42:00::
...
10. sense_key=develop%2:30:00::
...
20. sense_key=develop%2:30:03::

So sense 5 is index 5, sense 10 is index 10.

Actually, looking at the ordering, these seem to be arbitrary indices 1-21, not related to the WordNet lexicographer file numbers (the numbers after %2:).

So I just need to return the number from the list (1-21).

The question is whether it's 5 or 10 or 20 or something else.

Let me think about "cancer develops" more carefully.
- "The cancer developed rapidly" - cancer grew/progressed (sense 10)
- "Cancer develops when mutations occur" - cancer comes into existence/originates (sense 5)

In the text: "he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop"
This is about the condition for cancer to arise/come into being.

Actually, looking at the frame, it's similar to "A flower developed on the branch" (sense 10) - something biological appears/grows.

But "spring up" (sense 5) also fits - cancer springs up.

However, looking at the gloss for sense 10: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment"

Cancer developing after losing the second copy fits this: it grows/evolves through natural processes (the conducive environment is the lack of tumor suppression).

Sense 5: "come into existence; take on form or shape"
This is also good.

Let me see if I can find how WordNet actually annotates this. Typically, for diseases "developing", if it's the disease as subject, sense 5 or 10 could apply.

But looking at "The plot developed slowly" (sense 9) - this is about gradual unfolding.
"Report the news as it develops" (sense 20) - happening/unfolding.

Actually, I think sense 5 is the most appropriate: "come into existence". When the second copy is lost, the cancer comes into existence.

But I'm not entirely sure. Let me reconsider sense 4. Even though the example shows the patient as subject, could "cancer develops" fall under "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)"? No, cancer is not an attribute or feature of the person in this construction (though it could be in "He developed cancer"). Here it's "for a cancer to develop" - cancer is the grammatical subject.

Sense 10 has examples: "A flower developed on the branch" - this is very similar to "cancer develops in the body". Both are biological growths.

Sense 5 has: "A new religious movement originated..." - more abstract.

Between 5 and 10, 10 seems more appropriate for a biological entity like cancer.

But wait, sense 12: "cause to grow and differentiate" - transitive.
Sense 13: "generate gradually" - transitive.

The use here is intransitive: "for a cancer to develop" (intransitive).

So back to 5 vs 10.

Actually, looking at FrameNet or typical WSD datasets, "cancer develops" is often sense 10 (grow, progress) or sense 5 (arise).

Given the example "A flower developed on the branch" for sense 10, and cancer being like a flower (a growth), I think sense 10 is the intended answer.

But let me look at sense 20 again: "happen". "For a cancer to develop" = "for cancer to happen"? That's a bit informal.

Sense 9: "be gradually disclosed or unfolded; become manifest" - "The plot developed slowly". This is about becoming manifest/visible.

Actually, when cancer develops, it becomes manifest. But the text is talking about the genetic conditions for it to come into existence, not for it to become visible.

Given the context of genetics and the mechanism described, sense 5 "come into existence" seems most precise. However, sense 10 "grow... through natural growth" is also very plausible.

Let me check if there's a pattern with "tumor" or "cancer" in the examples. I don't see any in the provided candidates.

Given the phrase "work in concert" and the biological process description, sense 10 with "evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth" seems to fit the scientific tone.

But I want to look at the word "arise" which appears in the text: "for cancer to arise" - wait, looking back at the text:

"Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired."

Then: "A person... is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."

So the text uses "arise" earlier for the same concept, and then "develop". This suggests that "develop" here is synonymous with "arise".

Looking at the candidates:
Sense 5 has synonym "arise".
Sense 20 has synonym "break" (as in break out).

Therefore, sense 5 is the best match because it lists "arise" as a synonym, and the text uses "arise" in the immediately preceding clause with the same meaning.

So my answer is sense 5.

Double-checking: sense 5 is index 5 in the list provided.
develop%2:42:00:: | definition=come into existence; take on form or shape | synonyms=originate, arise, rise, uprise, spring up, grow

Yes, that's index 5.

One final check: could it be sense 20?
develop%2:30:03:: | definition=happen | synonyms=break, recrudesce
"for a cancer to happen" - not really idiomatic medical English.
"for a cancer to break (out)" - possible, but "develop" is more gradual.
"for a cancer to arise" - very common, and matches sense 5.

Therefore, sense_index: 5.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "emerging" in the given context.

Context analysis:
The sentence is: "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susible individuals..."
Here, "emerging" modifies "genetic tests". It refers to genetic tests that are coming into existence, being developed, or appearing on the scene. These are new tests that are just becoming available.

Candidate senses:
1. emerging%5:00:00:future:00 | definition=coming to maturity | synonyms=rising | examples=the rising generation
2. emerging%5:00:00:nascent:00 | definition=coming into existence | synonyms=emergent | examples=an emergent republic

Analysis:
- Sense 1: "coming to maturity" - This suggests something that is maturing, like a generation growing up. The example "the rising generation" supports this. But "genetic tests" aren't really "coming to maturity" in this context.
- Sense 2: "coming into existence" - This means something that is beginning to exist or appear. The example "an emergent republic" supports this. "Emerging genetic tests" fits well here - tests that are newly being developed or coming into use.

"Emerging" in this context means new, developing, coming into being. The genetic tests are new technologies that are just becoming available. This aligns with "coming into existence" (sense 2) rather than "coming to maturity" (sense 1).

Wait, let me double-check. "Emerging" can mean:
- For sense 1 (future/rising): "the emerging generation" - means growing up, reaching maturity
- For sense 2 (nascent/emergent): "emerging markets", "emerging technologies" - means coming into existence, newly formed

In the context of "emerging genetic tests", this clearly refers to tests that are newly developed or coming into use - i.e., coming into existence. This is sense 2.

The JSON should be: {"sense_index": 2}

Wait, the instructions say "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." This is just an example format. I need to return {"sense_index": 2} since sense 2 is the best choice.

Let me reconsider if there's any ambiguity. Could "emerging" mean the tests themselves are maturing? No, tests don't mature. They emerge (come into existence/use). The context talks about "new findings" and "new age of predictive cancer diagnosis", reinforcing that these are new, coming-into-existence technologies.

Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "genetic" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 The text discusses oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes, inherited genes, and "genetic tests" that can spot cancer-susceptible individuals. The specific phrase is "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals..."

 The target word "genetic" modifies "tests" - so we're talking about tests related to genes/genetics.

 Let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=genetic%5:00:00:inheritable:00 | definition=occurring among members of a family usually by heredity | synonyms=familial, hereditary, inherited, transmitted, transmissible | examples=an inherited disease; familial traits
    - This sense focuses on heritability/inheritance within families.
    - While the context mentions inheritance ("inherited in two copies"), the phrase "genetic tests" refers to tests that analyze genes, not necessarily tests that check for familial/hereditary traits specifically (though that's related).
    - However, "genetic tests" typically means tests related to genes/DNA, not specifically "inheritable tests".

 2. sense_key=genetic%3:01:02:: | definition=of or relating to or produced by or being a gene | synonyms=genic, genetical | examples=genic combinations; genetic code
    - This sense relates directly to genes.
    - "Genetic tests" would be tests related to genes.
    - This seems like a strong candidate.

 3. sense_key=genetic%3:01:01:: | definition=pertaining to or referring to origin | examples=genetic history reconstructs the origins of a literary work
    - This is about origins/history (etymological sense).
    - Doesn't fit the biological context of gene testing.

 4. sense_key=genetic%3:01:00:: | definition=of or relating to the science of genetics | synonyms=genetical | examples=genetic research
    - This relates to the science of genetics.
    - "Genetic tests" could mean tests in the field of genetics.
    - This is also a strong candidate.

 Now I need to distinguish between sense 2 (relating to genes) and sense 4 (relating to the science of genetics).

 Sense 2: "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" - focuses on the physical gene itself.
 Sense 4: "of or relating to the science of genetics" - focuses on the scientific discipline.

 In the phrase "genetic tests", we are talking about tests that analyze genes/DNA to detect susceptibility. These are tests related to genes (sense 2), but also could be seen as tests used in genetics (sense 4).

 However, looking at the examples:
 - Sense 2 examples: "genic combinations; genetic code" - these are about the gene itself.
 - Sense 4 examples: "genetic research" - this is about the field.

 "Genetic testing" typically refers to analyzing DNA/genes, which aligns more with sense 2 (relating to genes). However, sense 4 is also plausible.

 Let me look more carefully at the WordNet hierarchy. In WordNet:
 - genetic%3:01:02:: is the adjective "genetic" meaning "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" (similar to "genic")
 - genetic%3:01:00:: is the adjective "genetic" meaning "of or relating to the science of genetics"

 In common usage, "genetic test" means a test of one's genes/DNA. This is closer to sense 2.

 But wait, let me reconsider sense 1. The context talks about inherited genes: "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies..." and "A person who is born with one defective copy..." and "spot such cancer-susceptible individuals". This is about hereditary cancer susceptibility.

 However, "genetic tests" in this context are tests that look at the genes to see if they are defective. While the susceptibility is hereditary (sense 1), the tests themselves are "genetic" in the sense of relating to genes (sense 2) or genetics (sense 4).

 Actually, looking at sense 1 again: "occurring among members of a family usually by heredity" - this is used to describe diseases or traits that run in families. "Genetic tests" are not "occurring among members of a family" - the tests are procedures. So sense 1 is unlikely.

 Between sense 2 and 4:
 - Sense 2 emphasizes the gene itself (the molecular entity)
 - Sense 4 emphasizes the scientific field

 "Genetic testing" is standard terminology for DNA-based testing. In WordNet, "genetic code" is under sense 2, which suggests sense 2 covers the biological/gene-related meaning.

 However, looking at the actual WordNet entries (from my knowledge):
 - genetic%3:01:00:: usually maps to "of or relating to genetics" (the science)
 - genetic%3:01:02:: usually maps to "of or relating to genes" (the entities)

 In the context: "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals"
 These tests are analyzing genes to find defects. This is about the relationship to genes (sense 2).

 But I should verify if there's any distinction in WordNet. Sometimes "genetic" when modifying "test" or "testing" might be classified under the science sense (4) or the gene sense (2).

 Actually, looking at typical WSD datasets:
 - "genetic testing" or "genetic test" usually maps to sense 2 (relating to genes) or sense 4 (relating to genetics).

 Let me think about the specific context. The text discusses:
 - Oncogenes
 - Tumor-suppressor genes
 - Inherited copies
 - Defective copies
 - Tests to spot susceptible individuals

 These tests are detecting genetic mutations/defects. This is about the genes themselves.

 However, sense 4 ("of or relating to the science of genetics") could also fit because these are tests used in the field of genetics.

 But looking at the synonyms:
 - Sense 2: genic, genetical
 - Sense 4: genetical

 "Genic" specifically means relating to genes. If "genetic" is synonymous with "genic" in sense 2, then sense 2 is about genes.

 In the phrase "genetic tests", the word "genetic" describes what kind of tests they are - they are tests that examine genes. This aligns with sense 2.

 Wait, I should check if there's a pattern in WordNet for "genetic" + noun compounds.
 - "genetic code" -> sense 2 (relating to genes)
 - "genetic research" -> sense 4 (relating to the science)
 - "genetic disease" -> could be sense 1 (hereditary) or sense 2 (caused by genes)

 In this context, the tests are analyzing the genes to predict cancer. This is similar to "genetic screening", "genetic analysis" - these typically map to sense 2.

 But let me reconsider sense 1. Could "genetic tests" mean "hereditary tests" or "inherited tests"? No, that doesn't make sense. The tests aren't inherited; the genes are.

 So it's between 2 and 4.

 Looking at the definition of sense 2: "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene"
 - Genetic tests are tests relating to genes. Yes.

 Looking at sense 4: "of or relating to the science of genetics"
 - Genetic tests are tests relating to the science of genetics. Also yes.

 But which is the better fit?
 The context emphasizes the biological mechanism: genes, copies, defective genes, proteins. It's about the gene-level analysis, not just the scientific field in general. The tests are looking at specific gene defects.

 Also, sense 2 has the synonym "genic", which is clearly about genes. "Genetic tests" are "genic tests" in the sense that they test genes.

 I think sense 2 is the best fit.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=genetic%5:00:00:inheritable:00
 2. sense_key=genetic%3:01:02::
 3. sense_key=genetic%3:01:01::
 4. sense_key=genetic%3:01:00::

 So:
 - Index 1: inheritable/hereditary
 - Index 2: relating to genes (genic)
 - Index 3: pertaining to origin
 - Index 4: relating to science of genetics

 Given the context of testing for gene defects to predict cancer, and the mention of "inherited" separately in the text (distinguishing the hereditary nature of the susceptibility from the tests themselves), index 2 seems correct.

 However, I should double-check if "genetic test" is commonly tagged as sense 4 in WordNet-based corpora. In many WSD datasets, "genetic" when referring to the scientific field (like "geneticist", "genetics department") is sense 4, while "genetic" when referring to the material (like "genetic material", "genetic information") is sense 2.

 "Genetic tests" analyze genetic material (genes), so sense 2.

 Final check: The context mentions "inherited in two copies" and "born with one defective copy" - this establishes the hereditary aspect (sense 1), but the tests themselves are tools to detect these genetic conditions. The tests are "genetic" because they deal with genes.

 I will go with sense_index: 2.
