 Target lemma: pair
 Target surface form: pairs
 Context: Talking about chromosomes in cells - specifically "23 pairs of chromosomes"

 The sentence is: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 <t>pairs</t> of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

 Candidate senses:
 1. pair%1:14:01:: - a set of two similar things considered as a unit | synonyms=brace
 2. pair%1:23:00:: - two items of the same kind | synonyms=couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke
 3. pair%1:14:00:: - two people considered as a unit
 4. pair%1:14:02:: - a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value

 Analysis:
 - The context is biological - referring to chromosomes in human cells.
 - Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total, arranged as 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes).
 - These are sets of two chromosomes that are similar (homologous) - one from each parent.
 - They are considered as units (pairs).

 Looking at the senses:
 - Sense 1: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" - This fits well. Chromosomes come in pairs (homologous pairs), where each pair consists of two similar chromosomes (one maternal, one paternal). They are considered as a unit in genetics.
 - Sense 2: "two items of the same kind" - This is more general. While technically true, sense 1 is more specific about them being "similar things considered as a unit" which fits the biological concept of chromosome pairs better.
 - Sense 3: "two people considered as a unit" - Not applicable here, chromosomes are not people.
 - Sense 4: "a poker hand" - Not applicable.

 Between sense 1 and sense 2:
 Sense 1 (pair%1:14:01::) emphasizes "similar things considered as a unit"
 Sense 2 (pair%1:23:00::) emphasizes "two items of the same kind"

 In genetics, chromosomes are indeed organized as pairs where the two chromosomes in each pair are similar (homologous) and function as a unit for genetic inheritance. The phrase "23 pairs of chromosomes" specifically refers to the 23 homologous pairs.

 Sense 1 seems to be the best fit because:
 1. It mentions "similar things" - homologous chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and gene content
 2. It mentions "considered as a unit" - in genetics, we talk about chromosome pairs as units of inheritance

 However, I should check the WordNet entries more carefully. In WordNet:
 - pair%1:14:01:: is "a set of two similar things considered as a unit"
 - pair%1:23:00:: is "two items of the same kind"

 Actually, looking at typical usage, "23 pairs of chromosomes" would likely map to sense 1 or sense 2. Let me think about the distinction.

 Sense 1 (14:01) is under noun.group (1:14) - "a set of two similar things considered as a unit"
 Sense 2 (23:00) is under noun.quantity (1:23) - "two items of the same kind"

 Wait, let me verify the WordNet synset keys:
 - pair%1:14:00:: = two people considered as a unit (noun.group)
 - pair%1:14:01:: = a set of two similar things considered as a unit (noun.group)
 - pair%1:14:02:: = a poker hand... (noun.group)
 - pair%1:23:00:: = two items of the same kind (noun.quantity)

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0 or 3.1:
 - pair.n.01: two people considered as a unit
 - pair.n.02: a set of two similar things considered as a unit
 - pair.n.03: two items of the same kind
 - pair.n.04: a poker hand...

 Wait, the numbering might be different. Let me check the sense keys provided:
 1. pair%1:14:01:: - a set of two similar things considered as a unit
 2. pair%1:23:00:: - two items of the same kind
 3. pair%1:14:00:: - two people considered as a unit
 4. pair%1:14:02:: - a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value

 So:
 - pair%1:14:00:: = two people (index 0)
 - pair%1:14:01:: = set of two similar things (index 1)
 - pair%1:14:02:: = poker hand (index 2)
 - pair%1:23:00:: = two items of the same kind (index 0 in noun.quantity)

 In the context of chromosomes:
 - Chromosomes in a pair are similar (homologous)
 - They are considered as a unit (a pair)
 - This is a biological grouping

 So sense 1 (pair%1:14:01::) "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" seems best.

 However, sense 2 (pair%1:23:00::) "two items of the same kind" could also work, but it's more about quantity/grouping of two items, whereas sense 1 emphasizes the unit-like nature of the pair.

 In biology, we specifically refer to "homologous pairs" where the two chromosomes form a unit. The text mentions "23 pairs of chromosomes" which is the standard way to describe human karyotype (23 pairs = 46 chromosomes).

 Between the two:
 - Sense 1: "similar things considered as a unit" - fits because homologous chromosomes are similar and function as a unit
 - Sense 2: "two items of the same kind" - also fits but is more generic

 Given that chromosomes in a pair are specifically similar (homologous) and are considered as units in genetics (for segregation during meiosis, etc.), sense 1 is more precise.

 Also, the phrase "pairs of chromosomes" treats each pair as a unit containing two similar chromosomes.

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

 Wait, I need to make sure about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=pair%1:14:01:: ...
 2. sense_key=pair%1:23:00:: ...
 3. sense_key=pair%1:14:00:: ...
 4. sense_key=pair%1:14:02:: ...

 So if I choose sense 1, the index is 1.
 If I choose sense 2, the index is 2.

 I believe sense 1 is correct.

 But let me double-check by looking at the actual WordNet definitions and examples if possible.

 In WordNet 3.1:
 - pair, brace (noun) - a set of two similar things considered as a unit; "a pair of glasses"; "a pair of shoes"
 - pair, couple, twosome, twain, brace (noun) - two items of the same kind
 - pair (noun) - two people considered as a unit
 - pair (noun) - a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value

 The first one (pair%1:14:01:: in the list) is used for things like "a pair of glasses", "a pair of shoes", "a pair of chromosomes".

 Actually, looking at the examples, "a pair of glasses" consists of two similar things (lenses) considered as a unit. Similarly, chromosomes in a pair are two similar structures considered as a unit.

 The second sense (pair%1:23:00::) is more like "a couple of apples" or "a pair of items" in a more general sense.

 For chromosomes specifically, they are literally called "homologous pairs" and fit the "set of two similar things considered as a unit" definition perfectly.

 So the answer should be sense index 1.

 Wait, I should verify if there's any chance it's sense 2. Some might argue that chromosomes are just "two items of the same kind" arranged together. But in the context of "23 pairs", each pair is a distinct unit (Pair 1, Pair 2, etc., corresponding to chromosome 1, chromosome 2, etc.), and within each pair are two homologous chromosomes (similar things).

 Also, the word "pair" in biology for chromosomes is definitely the "set of two similar things" sense rather than just "two items".

 Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

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

 Let me analyze the context:
 "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes."

 The sentence is saying that cells have/hold/encapsulate the genes within them. The chromosomes are in the cells, and the cells "contain" the genes.

 Now let me look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=contain%2:42:00:: | definition=include or contain; have as a component | synonyms=incorporate, comprise | examples=A totally new idea is comprised in this paper; The record contains many old songs from the 1930's
    - This suggests having as a part or component. The cells have genes as components/parts.

 2. sense_key=contain%2:42:13:: | definition=contain or hold; have within | synonyms=hold, bear, carry | examples=The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water
    - This suggests physically holding or having something within. Like a container holding contents.

 3. sense_key=contain%2:41:00:: | definition=lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint | synonyms=control, hold in...
    - This is about restraining or controlling, which doesn't fit.

 4. sense_key=contain%2:42:06:: | definition=be divisible by | examples=24 contains 6
    - Mathematical sense, doesn't fit.

 5. sense_key=contain%2:42:14:: | definition=be capable of holding or containing | synonyms=take, hold | examples=This box won't take all the items; The flask holds one gallon
    - This is about capacity/volume - being able to hold something.

 6. sense_key=contain%2:33:00:: | definition=hold back, as of a danger or an enemy | synonyms=check...
    - About restraining enemies/dangers, doesn't fit.

 Now, between sense 1 and sense 2:
 Sense 1: "include or contain; have as a component" - This is about composition. The whole comprises/includes the parts.
 Sense 2: "contain or hold; have within" - This is about spatial enclosure, having something inside.

 The context: "cells that contain the genes"
 Cells physically enclose/hold the genes within them. But also, genes are components of cells.

 However, looking at the examples:
 Sense 1 examples: "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper; The record contains many old songs"
 - This is about composition/constituency. A record (album) consists of songs.

 Sense 2 examples: "The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water"
 - This is about physical containers holding substances.

 In biology, when we say cells contain genes, we typically mean that genes are located within cells (spatially enclosed), but also that cells have genes as components.

 However, looking more carefully at the specific glosses:
 Sense 1: "include or contain; have as a component" - synonyms: incorporate, comprise
 Sense 2: "contain or hold; have within" - synonyms: hold, bear, carry

 The specific phrase is "cells that contain the genes". In biological contexts, this is essentially saying the cells have the genes inside them. But is this about composition or about physical enclosure?

 Actually, looking at the examples for sense 1: "The record contains many old songs" - this is similar to "cells contain genes" in terms of composition (the whole containing the parts).

 But sense 2 examples: "The jar carries wine" - cells are like jars/containers that carry/hold genes.

 Wait, there's also sense 5: "be capable of holding or containing" - this is about capacity. The examples show "This box won't take all the items" - about whether something can hold a certain volume/amount. This doesn't fit because the sentence isn't saying cells are capable of holding genes (in terms of capacity), but rather that they do hold them.

 Between sense 1 and 2:
 In WordNet, sense 1 (contain%2:42:00::) is often used for "have as a part/component"
 Sense 2 (contain%2:42:13::) is often used for "have within" in a physical container sense.

 The context: "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 Actually, looking at the structure:
 - Chromosomes are in the cells
 - Cells contain the genes
 - Genes are on chromosomes

 So the cells are the larger container that holds/includes the genes.

 But is this a "component" relationship (sense 1) or a "holder/has within" relationship (sense 2)?

 Let me check the verb frames or typical usage:
 - "This box contains apples" -> sense 2 (physical holding)
 - "This book contains information" -> sense 1 (having as component)
 - "Cells contain DNA" -> ?

 In biological texts, "contain" often maps to sense 2:42:13 (have within) when talking about physical location, or sense 2:42:00 (have as component) when talking about constitution.

 However, looking at the specific gloss for sense 1: "include or contain; have as a component"
 And sense 2: "contain or hold; have within"

 The key difference is whether it's about composition (part-whole) or about spatial enclosure.

 Genes are parts of cells (in the sense that they are located within cells), but they are not "components" in the same way songs are components of a record. Actually, they are - cells are made up of various components including genes/DNA.

 But the phrase "have within" (sense 2) suggests a container-contents relationship where the container is not necessarily constituted by the contents, but rather encloses them. Like a jar and wine.

 However, cells are defined partly by their genetic material. So genes are components.

 But looking at the example for sense 1: "The record contains many old songs" - this is a whole-part relationship where the whole (record) is composed of the parts (songs).

 "Cells contain genes" is similar - cells are composed of (among other things) genes.

 But wait, there's a subtle distinction. In "The record contains songs", the songs are the content. In "The jar contains wine", the wine is the content.

 Actually, looking at WordNet more precisely:
 Sense 1 (contain%2:42:00): This is the "comprise" sense - the whole comprises the parts.
 Sense 2 (contain%2:42:13): This is the "hold" sense - the container holds the contents.

 For biological entities like cells and genes, both could apply. But looking at the specific context: "cells that contain the genes" - this is describing where genes are located (within cells), emphasizing the spatial relationship.

 However, looking at the previous sentence: "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes..."

 So they can see chromosomes, and the cells contain the genes. This is about the physical location - genes are inside cells.

 But let's look at the actual WordNet sense distribution. In SemCor and other corpora:
 - "The can contains water" -> sense 2 (hold within)
 - "The basket contains apples" -> sense 2
 - "The plan contains several errors" -> sense 1 (have as component)

 For biological contexts:
 - "Peanuts contain protein" -> sense 1 (have as component/constituent)
 - "The cell contains a nucleus" -> sense 2 (hold within)? Or sense 1?

 Actually, I should look at the specific sense keys:
 contain%2:42:00:: (sense 1) - This is the "comprise" sense
 contain%2:42:13:: (sense 2) - This is the "hold/bear/carry" sense

 The synonyms for sense 2 are hold, bear, carry. These suggest physical support/transport/containment.

 The example: "The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water"

 For "cells contain genes", is this more like "jar carries wine" or "record contains songs"?

 Genes are physical entities located within cells. Cells are physical containers. This seems closer to sense 2 (hold within).

 However, genes are also constituents/components of cells. So sense 1 could also fit.

 But let's look at sense 5: "be capable of holding or containing" - examples: "This box won't take all the items; The flask holds one gallon" - this is about capacity, not actual containing.

 So sense 5 is out.

 Now, sense 1 vs sense 2:
 Sense 1: "have as a component" - This is about constitution. The whole is made up of the parts.
 Sense 2: "have within" - This is about spatial inclusion. Something is inside something else.

 In the context: "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 The cells are being described as the location where genes are found. It's a spatial relationship - genes are inside cells.

 Also, looking at the flow: scientists could see chromosomes under a microscope in cells, and cells contain (hold) the genes.

 But wait - the sentence structure: "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 This could be interpreted as: cells have genes (as their content).

 Let me reconsider sense 1 examples carefully:
 "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper" - the paper contains (has as component) the idea.
 "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's" - the record has songs as components/parts.

 Sense 2 examples:
 "The jar carries wine" - the jar holds wine.
 "The canteen holds fresh water" - the canteen holds water.

 In biological English, when we say "cells contain DNA", we typically use sense 2:42:13 (hold within) or sense 2:42:00 (have as component)?

 Actually, looking at standard WSD datasets:
 - "This drink contains alcohol" -> usually sense 1 (have as component/ingredient)
 - "The box contains toys" -> usually sense 2 (hold within)

 For cells and genes: genes are not just ingredients/components in the sense of a mixture; they are physical entities contained within the physical boundary of the cell.

 However, the distinction is subtle.

 Let me look at the gloss for sense 1 again: "include or contain; have as a component"
 And sense 2: "contain or hold; have within"

 The key phrase in sense 2 is "have within" - this emphasizes the interiority.

 In the context, "cells that contain the genes" - this is clearly about genes being inside cells.

 But wait, there's another clue. The text says: "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells..."

 So they can see chromosomes (which are visible under microscope), and the cells contain the genes (which are specific sequences on the chromosomes).

 Actually, reading carefully: "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 This could mean: the cells contain the genes (and within these cells are chromosomes).

 So: cells that contain the genes, and within these cells are chromosomes.

 Or: the 23 pairs of chromosomes (which are in the cells) that contain the genes?

 Wait, "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 Actually, reading the full sentence: "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

 This is ambiguous. It could mean:
 1. they could see, in the cells that contain the genes, the 23 pairs of chromosomes.
 2. they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes (which are in the cells) that contain the genes.

 Given the context about genetics, chromosomes contain genes. So interpretation 2 makes sense: chromosomes contain genes.

 But the target word is "contain" in "cells that contain the genes". So it's the cells that are doing the containing.

 Wait, let me parse:
 "they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes"

 Relative clause attachment:
 - "cells that contain the genes" - the cells contain the genes
 - "chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes" - could be chromosomes located in cells, where those cells contain genes
 - Or: chromosomes that contain the genes, and these chromosomes are in cells

 But the relative clause "that contain" most naturally attaches to the closest noun, which is "cells". So: "cells that contain the genes".

 So cells contain genes.

 Now, do cells "have genes as components" (sense 1) or "hold genes within" (sense 2)?

 Both are plausible, but in biological contexts describing the location of genetic material, "contain" usually maps to sense 2:42:13 "have within" - the physical container sense.

 However, looking at the actual WordNet entries:
 Sense 1: contain%2:42:00:: - contain = comprise
 Sense 2: contain%2:42:13:: - contain = hold/enclose

 The examples suggest:
 - Sense 1: abstract containment (ideas in papers, songs in records)
 - Sense 2: physical containment (wine in jar, water in canteen)

 Since cells physically enclose genes, sense 2 seems more appropriate.

 But wait - genes are not merely physical contents like water in a jar; they are integral components that define the cell. But physically, they are inside.

 Actually, looking at "The record contains songs" - a record is a physical object, songs are physical grooves (or data). This is physical containment too.

 But the synonym "comprise" in sense 1 suggests a part-whole relationship, while "hold/bear/carry" in sense 2 suggests a container/contained relationship.

 For cells and genes, it's both. But WordNet usually distinguishes these.

 Let me check if there's any other clue. The word "bear" as a synonym for sense 2. "Cells bear genes" - yes, that works.
 "Cells carry genes" - yes, that works (and carry is a synonym).

 For sense 1: "Cells incorporate genes" - yes. "Cells comprise genes" - grammatically odd (comprise usually goes the other way: genes comprise cells? No, that's wrong. Actually, "cells comprise genes" means cells are made of genes, which is backwards. Usually we say "genes comprise cells" or "cells are comprised of genes". So "cells comprise genes" is not standard usage.

 Wait, "comprise" can mean "consist of" or "be made up of". So "cells comprise genes" would mean cells consist of genes - this is true in the sense that genes are part of what makes up cells.

 But more commonly: "The team comprises five members" = the team consists of five members.
 "The cell comprises various organelles" = the cell consists of various organelles.

 But "comprise" is tricky.

 However, looking at the examples for sense 1:
 "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper" - passive usage
 "The record contains many old songs" - active usage

 If I say "Cells contain genes", is this more like "The record contains songs" or "The jar carries wine"?

 I think "record contains songs" is more similar because both are about informational/structural content in a medium. But genes are physical molecules...

 Actually, genes are sequences of DNA. Cells contain DNA. This is often considered sense 1 (have as component) when talking about chemical composition, or sense 2 (hold within) when talking about physical location.

 But looking at the specific context: discussing chromosomes visible under microscope, and cells containing genes. This is about genetic material being present in cells.

 I think the safest choice is sense 2:42:13 - "contain or hold; have within" - because cells are physical containers that hold genes within them.

 But let me double-check by considering if sense 1 could be wrong. If we say "The record contains songs", we mean the record has songs as its content. But "cells contain genes" - do we mean cells have genes as content, or as components?

 Actually, looking at WordNet's verb groupings:
 - Sense 1 (contain%2:42:00) is grouped with "include" - this is about membership in a whole.
 - Sense 2 (contain%2:42:13) is grouped with "hold" - this is about spatial enclosure.

 Given the biological context of physical observation under microscopes, and the mention of chromosomes (physical structures), sense 2 seems best.

 However, I recall that in many WSD systems, "contain" for chemical/biological composition (like "this food contains sugar") often goes to sense 1 (have as component).

 Let me reconsider the specific phrasing: "cells that contain the genes"

 In the context of the paragraph discussing inheritance and genetic defects, "contain" here means "have within them" or "possess".

 But looking at the options again:

 Sense 1: include or contain; have as a component
 Sense 2: contain or hold; have within
 Sense 5: be capable of holding or containing

 The distinction between 1 and 2 is subtle. In many dictionaries, they might overlap.

 But in WordNet:
 - Sense 1: {contain, incorporate, comprise} - This is the "whole made of parts" sense.
 - Sense 2: {hold, bear, carry, contain} - This is the "container with contents" sense.

 For cells and genes:
 - Are cells containers for genes? Yes.
 - Are cells made up of genes? Partially - they contain DNA which constitutes genes.

 But "genes" as units are located within cells. The relationship is more "container-contents" than "whole-component" in the mereological sense, though both apply.

 However, chromosomes contain genes (in the sense that genes are located on chromosomes). The text mentions chromosomes in the previous clause.

 Actually, reading carefully: "they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 If the relative clause modifies "chromosomes", then chromosomes contain genes. This is a standard biological fact: chromosomes contain genes.

 If it modifies "cells", then cells contain genes. Also true.

 But "chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes" - the relative clause could modify either:
 1. the cells (the cells contain genes)
 2. the chromosomes (the chromosomes contain genes and are in the cells)

 In standard English syntax, relative clauses attach to the nearest antecedent. "cells" is closer to "that" than "chromosomes" is? Let's see:

 "chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 Structure: chromosomes [in [the cells [that contain the genes]]]
 or: chromosomes [in the cells] [that contain the genes]

 Actually, "in the cells" is a prepositional phrase modifying "chromosomes". So we have "chromosomes (in the cells) that contain..." - the relative clause could modify "cells" or "chromosomes".

 Usually, relative clauses attach to the immediately preceding noun, which is "cells".

 But biologically, chromosomes contain genes, not cells (though cells do contain genes too).

 Actually, the sentence says: "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes"

 If it meant chromosomes contain genes, it would likely say "the 23 pairs of chromosomes that contain the genes in the cells" or "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells, which contain the genes".

 Given the ambiguity, both cells and chromosomes contain genes. But the attachment is probably to "cells".

 Regardless, both "cells contain genes" and "chromosomes contain genes" would use the same sense of "contain".

 Now, looking at the distinction:
 - "Chromosomes contain genes" - genes are arranged along the chromosome (linearly). This is part-whole? Or container-contained?
 - "Cells contain genes" - genes are inside cells.

 I think for both, sense 2 (contain or hold; have within) is the best fit, as it emphasizes the spatial/holding relationship rather than the compositional relationship.

 But I should verify with similar examples.

 Actually, looking at the examples provided in the candidate senses:
 Sense 1: "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's" - This is about a collection having items.
 Sense 2: "The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water" - This is about a vessel holding a substance.

 Are cells more like records (collections) or like jars (vessels)?

 Cells are vessels/compartments that hold biological material. So sense 2.

 Are genes more like songs (discrete items that make up the collection) or like wine (substance contained)?

 Genes are discrete units (like songs), but they are physically inside cells (like wine in a jar).

 However, the critical distinction in WordNet is that sense 1 = comprise (the whole comprises the parts) while sense 2 = hold/secure within.

 Given "have within" in the gloss for sense 2, and that genes are within cells, I'll go with sense 2.

 Wait, I should check if there's a pattern. In biological texts, "contain" is very frequently sense 2:42:13 for physical containment.

 For example: "The vacuole contains water" - sense 2.
 "The nucleus contains chromatin" - sense 2.
 "The cell contains organelles" - sense 2.

 Whereas sense 1 is used for: "The list contains five items", "The book contains errors", "The proposal contains a clause".

 Actually, "The book contains a chapter" - is this sense 1 or 2?
 - Sense 1: have as a component (the book comprises/contains a chapter)
 - Sense 2: have within (the book holds a chapter within it)

 Both could work, but typically in WSD:
 - Abstract contents (ideas, information, errors) -> sense 1
 - Physical contents (water, objects) -> sense 2

 Since genes are physical entities (DNA sequences), sense 2.

 Final check: Is there any reason to choose sense 1?
 - If we view the sentence as saying cells have genes as their genetic component...
 - But sense 2's synonyms (carry, bear) also fit: "cells carry genes" (genetically).

 The word "contain" in genetics usually maps to the physical location sense.

 I choose sense 2.

 Sense index 2 corresponds to sense_key=contain%2:42:13::

 Wait, let me check the indices:
 1. sense_key=contain%2:42:00::
 2. sense_key=contain%2:42:13::
 3. sense_key=contain%2:41:00::
 4. sense_key=contain%2:42:06::
 5. sense_key=contain%2:42:14::
 6. sense_key=contain%2:33:00::

 So sense 2 is the one with definition "contain or hold; have within".

 Yes, that's the one.

 Actually, looking at sense 5: "be capable of holding or containing" - this is different from actually holding. So not that.

 So my answer is {"sense_index": 2}.

Target lemma: gross
Target surface form: gross
Context:
The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, <t>gross</t> chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "gross" in the given context. The context is about genetics, chromosomes, and tumor-suppressor genes. Specifically, the sentence is: "Occasionally, <t>gross</t> chromosome damage was visible."

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=gross%3:00:00:: | definition=before any deductions | examples=gross income
   - This is the financial meaning (gross vs net). Not relevant to chromosome damage.

2. sense_key=gross%5:00:00:general:00 | definition=lacking fine distinctions or detail | examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable
   - This means broad/general, not detailed. Could potentially fit, but let's look at others.

3. sense_key=gross%5:00:00:fat:01 | definition=repellently fat | synonyms=porcine | examples=a bald porcine old man
   - Physical appearance meaning. Not relevant.

4. sense_key=gross%5:00:00:visible:00 | definition=visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features) | synonyms=megascopic
   - This means visible without magnification. The context mentions "under a microscope they could see... but... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." Wait, let me look carefully.

   The text says: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   Actually, looking at the context: "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   But sense 4 says "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)". However, in medical/pathology contexts, "gross" often means visible to the naked eye as opposed to microscopic. But here they say it WAS visible... wait.

   Actually, let me read the context again carefully:
   "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   So they could see chromosomes under a microscope, and occasionally gross damage was visible. The word "gross" here likely means "large-scale" or "visible without needing special techniques" or "obvious".

   Sense 4 says "visible to the naked eye" - but they are using a microscope. However, in medical terminology, "gross" often means visible to the naked eye (macroscopic) vs microscopic. But here they say they were looking under a microscope and could see gross damage...

   Actually, looking at sense 4 again: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)". The synonym is "megascopic".

   In the context of chromosomes and genetics, "gross chromosomal aberrations" or "gross damage" refers to large-scale, obvious changes that can be seen under a microscope, as opposed to subtle molecular changes. But wait, sense 4 specifically says "visible to the naked eye", which would mean without a microscope.

   However, let me look at sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - this could mean large-scale, not subtle.

   And sense 7: "conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible" - this could fit "obvious" damage.

   Let me reconsider the medical usage. In pathology, "gross" means visible to the naked eye (macroscopic), as opposed to "microscopic". But here, they are talking about seeing chromosomes under a microscope. Chromosomes themselves are not visible to the naked eye; you need a microscope to see them. So "gross chromosome damage" would mean damage that is visible/noticeable under the microscope, as opposed to molecular-level damage that wouldn't be visible.

   Actually, looking at the exact wording: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." The word "visible" is already there. So "gross" is modifying "chromosome damage" and emphasizing that it was noticeable or obvious or large-scale.

   Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye" - this is specific to things that don't require magnification. But chromosomes do require microscopy. However, "gross" in medical contexts often distinguishes macroscopic from microscopic.

   But wait, there's another sense. Let me look at WordNet senses again.

   Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - example: "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"

   Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)" - synonym: megascopic

   In the context of cytogenetics (chromosome studies), "gross" typically means macroscopic or large-scale abnormalities that can be detected under a microscope, as opposed to sub-microscopic changes (like point mutations) that require molecular techniques.

   However, the definition in sense 4 says "visible to the naked eye", which technically contradicts the fact that chromosomes are microscopic. But in practice, "gross" in pathology means macroscopic (visible without magnification) while "microscopic" requires a microscope.

   But looking at the context: "under a microscope they could see... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   Actually, I think sense 2 might be better: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" meaning large-scale, obvious, not subtle.

   Or sense 7: "conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible" with synonyms like "flagrant", "glaring", "egregious". This emphasizes the obviousness.

   But let's look at sense 4 more carefully. The definition says "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)". This is the biological sense of gross anatomy vs microscopic anatomy.

   In biology, "gross anatomy" refers to anatomy visible without a microscope. "Gross" means macroscopic.

   The example in the text: chromosome damage visible under a microscope. If they could see it under a microscope, and they call it "gross", this likely means the damage was obvious, large-scale, etc.

   But I need to check if sense 4 applies to things seen under a microscope. The definition says "visible to the naked eye". If the damage was visible under a microscope, it's not visible to the naked eye. So sense 4 might be technically incorrect here.

   However, looking at sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - this describes something that is coarse, not subtle. "Gross chromosome damage" = large-scale, obvious damage to the chromosome structure.

   Let me look at sense 7 again: "conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible" - this seems to be about moral qualities (shame, lies), not physical damage.

   So it's likely between sense 2 and sense 4.

   In medical genetics literature, "gross chromosomal abnormalities" refers to large structural changes (deletions, translocations, etc.) that can be seen under a microscope, as opposed to small changes.

   The WordNet sense 4 example includes "anatomical features" - so it's used for anatomy. Chromosomes are anatomical features at the cellular level.

   But the key is: "visible to the naked eye". Chromosomes are not visible to the naked eye. You need a microscope. So if sense 4 means strictly "visible without magnification", it doesn't fit.

   However, WordNet sense 4 might be used more broadly to mean "macroscopic" as opposed to "microscopic" even if a microscope is technically needed to see the object itself? No, that doesn't make sense.

   Let me reconsider. The text says: "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   The contrast is between specific genes (which they couldn't see/identify) and chromosomes (which they could see under microscope). And "gross" damage means obvious, visible damage to the chromosomes.

   Looking at the synonyms and examples:
   - Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - example: "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"
   - Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye" - synonym: megascopic

   "Megascopic" means visible to the naked eye or using a simple hand lens, not requiring a microscope.

   But in the context, they ARE using a microscope. So "gross" here probably means "large-scale" or "obvious" rather than "visible without magnification".

   Actually, wait. In the history of genetics, "gross chromosomal abnormalities" refers to abnormalities that can be detected cytogenetically (under a microscope), as opposed to molecular abnormalities. But technically, you need a microscope to see chromosomes at all.

   Let me search my internal knowledge for how "gross" is used with chromosomes. "Gross chromosomal rearrangements" or "gross chromosomal abnormalities" are common phrases in genetics. Here "gross" means large-scale, macroscopic relative to the chromosome itself.

   Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - this captures the "large-scale" aspect.

   But let's look at all the senses again:

   1. Financial - no
   2. Lacking fine detail/general - possible
   3. Fat - no
   4. Visible to naked eye - possible if interpreted loosely, but technically wrong
   5. Unmitigated/intensifier - no
   6. Indecent - no
   7. Conspicuously bad - possible, but usually for moral failings

   Between 2 and 4, which is better?

   The phrase "gross chromosome damage" paired with "visible" suggests that "gross" emphasizes that it can be seen (detected). In medical terminology, "gross" pathology is distinguished from "microscopic" pathology.

   However, looking at the WordNet sense 4: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)". Chromosomes are anatomical features (at the cellular level), but they require a microscope.

   Yet, within microscopy, there's a distinction between "gross" changes (large changes) and subtle changes.

   Let me check if there's another sense I'm missing. The user provided 7 senses.

   Sense 2 example: "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable" - this is about the level of detail. "Gross details" = overall details, not fine details.

   In the context: "gross chromosome damage" vs presumably subtle or minor damage. The text suggests that while they couldn't detect specific genes, they could see gross damage to chromosomes.

   Actually, looking at the text flow:
   - They couldn't ferret out specific genes (too small)
   - But under a microscope they could see chromosomes (larger)
   - Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible (obvious/large-scale damage)

   The word "gross" here functions to mean "obvious", "conspicuous", "large-scale", or "macroscopic".

   Sense 7 has synonyms: crying, egregious, flagrant, glaring, rank. These mean conspicuous, obvious, outstanding. "A crying shame" = conspicuous/conspicuously bad.

   But sense 7 definition: "conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible"

   Is chromosome damage "reprehensible"? Not really. It's a physical/medical condition.

   Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye"

   Even though chromosomes require a microscope, "gross" in this medical context is likely being used in the sense of "megascopic" or "macroscopic" (sense 4), distinguishing it from molecular/genetic changes that can't be seen even with a microscope.

   Actually, I think sense 4 is the best fit because:
   1. It relates to visibility (the word "visible" appears in the context sentence)
   2. It relates to anatomical features (chromosomes are anatomical structures)
   3. In biological contexts, "gross" vs "microscopic" is a standard distinction, and even though chromosomes themselves require microscopy, "gross" here means the damage is visible at the level of the chromosome structure under the microscope, as opposed to being invisible/sub-microscopic.

   Wait, but sense 2 also fits well: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - gross damage = coarse damage, major damage, not subtle.

   Let me check the WordNet definitions more carefully.

   Sense 2: gross%5:00:00:general:00 - "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - similar to "broad", "general", "coarse".

   Sense 4: gross%5:00:00:visible:00 - "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)"

   In the sentence: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   If "gross" meant "visible to the naked eye", then "gross... was visible" would be slightly redundant but acceptable (visible to the naked eye was visible).

   But if they are looking under a microscope, and they see damage, calling it "gross" (visible to naked eye) would be contradictory unless "gross" is used in sense 2 (large-scale).

   However, looking at medical dictionaries: "Gross" means visible to the naked eye; not microscopic.

   But chromosomes are microscopic. So how can there be "gross chromosome damage"?

   The answer is that in cytogenetics, "gross chromosomal abnormalities" refers to abnormalities visible under the microscope, particularly at the metaphase stage, where chromosomes are condensed. But technically, since chromosomes are microscopic, any damage to them is microscopic. But "gross" here distinguishes large abnormalities (like large deletions, translocations) from small ones (like point mutations, small deletions) that require molecular methods (FISH, sequencing) to detect.

   So in this context, "gross" is being used relatively to mean "large-scale" or "major".

   Given the choices:
   - Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - this fits "large-scale", "not subtle"
   - Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye" - this is technically inaccurate for chromosomes

   But wait, the user says "WordNet glosses are schematic. Use the sentence context, the examples, and the synonyms to choose the best indexed sense."

   So I should look at which sense is actually used for biological/medical contexts in WordNet.

   Sense 4 specifically mentions "anatomical features". Chromosome damage is damage to anatomical features (cells, chromosomes).

   Even though chromosomes aren't visible to the naked eye, WordNet sense 4 might be the one intended for biological "gross" (as in gross anatomy).

   Let me think about the example for sense 2: "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"

   And sense 4: no example given in the prompt, just synonyms.

   Actually, looking at the user's list:
   Sense 4: synonyms=megascopic

   "Megascopic" specifically means visible to the unaided eye.

   Sense 2: examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable

   This suggests sense 2 is about the level of detail (coarse vs fine).

   In the context: "gross chromosome damage" - this means major, obvious damage to the chromosome structure, as opposed to subtle molecular changes.

   I think sense 2 is actually the better fit. "Lacking fine distinctions or detail" = coarse, large-scale.

   But let me reconsider sense 7: "conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible"

   The damage is conspicuous (visible), but is it "outrageously bad or reprehensible"? Probably not the best fit.

   Actually, looking at the context again: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   The fact that "visible" is used suggests that "gross" might be emphasizing the visibility aspect.

   In many medical dictionaries, "gross" = visible to the naked eye; macroscopic.

   So even though chromosomes themselves are microscopic, the phrase "gross chromosome damage" is using "gross" in a specialized way, or perhaps the word has shifted.

   But given WordNet sense 4 specifically mentions "anatomical features" and has the synonym "megascopic" (visible to naked eye), and the context is about anatomical features (chromosomes), sense 4 seems to be the intended biological sense, even if technically chromosomes require magnification.

   Actually, I realize now: in the early days of genetics (1970s as mentioned), they could see chromosomes under a microscope, but "gross damage" would mean damage visible under the microscope (as opposed to genetic damage they couldn't see). But "gross" in WordNet sense 4 is specifically "visible to the naked eye".

   Let me check if there's a possibility that sense 2 is correct. "Gross details of the structure" - gross chromosome damage = damage at the gross structural level.

   Yes, I think sense 2 is correct. The damage lacked fine detail - it was coarse, obvious, structural damage.

   But I'm torn between 2 and 4.

   Let me look for external validation. In WordNet 3.0 or 3.1, what are the actual senses?

   gross (adj):
   1. gross (vs. net) - before deductions
   2. gross (vs. fine) - lacking fine distinctions or detail; "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"
   3. gross, vulgar, crude - conspicuously and tastelessly indecent
   4. gross - repulsively fat; "a bald porcine old man"
   5. gross, megascopic - visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)
   6. ... (other senses)

   So sense 5 in WordNet is "visible to naked eye" (which is sense 4 in the user's list, but indexed as 4).

   Sense 2 in the user's list is "lacking fine distinctions or detail".

   In the context of "gross chromosome damage", medical literature uses "gross" to mean:
   1. Visible to the naked eye (macroscopic)
   2. Or: severe, obvious, flagrant

   But for chromosomes specifically, since they are microscopic, "gross chromosomal abnormalities" means abnormalities visible under the microscope (as opposed to submicroscopic).

   However, looking at the WordNet definition for sense 4/5: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)"

   The phrase "anatomical features" strongly suggests this sense applies to biology/medicine.

   Even though chromosomes are microscopic, the damage to them is being described as "gross" meaning visible/structural/obvious.

   But the key is that the text says the damage was "visible". This links to sense 4.

   However, sense 2 "lacking fine distinctions" also fits because gross damage = damage that affects the overall structure, not fine details.

   Let me look at the synonyms for sense 4: megascopic.
   Megascopic specifically means visible without magnification.

   Synonyms for sense 2: none provided, but "coarse" would be a near-synonym.

   Given that "megascopic" is a technical term for visible without microscope, and the context is explicitly about what they could see under a microscope, I think there's a contradiction if we choose sense 4.

   Unless... "gross" here distinguishes the damage from molecular damage. Under the microscope they could see gross (obvious) damage.

   Actually, reading the sentence carefully: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   This suggests that the damage was of a type that was visible - specifically, gross (obvious/conspicuous) damage.

   Between sense 2 (lacking fine detail) and sense 4 (visible to naked eye), and considering that chromosomes are mentioned and these are anatomical features, and that the word "visible" is used in the sentence, I think the intended answer is sense 4.

   But wait, there's sense 7: "conspicuously and outrageously bad" with synonyms like "glaring", "egregious", "flagrant", "rank".

   "Glaring" and "conspicuous" relate to visibility.
   "Gross negligence" = obvious, flagrant negligence.

   In medical contexts, "gross" can mean "obvious" or "flagrant".

   But sense 7 is specifically about moral qualities (shame, lies, coward).

   Let me reconsider sense 2. The example "the gross details of the structure" is very close to "gross chromosome damage". The structure of the chromosome.

   I think I need to choose between 2 and 4.

   Context: "under a microscope they could see... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   If the damage was visible under the microscope, and "gross" modifies "damage", then:
   - If sense 4: visible to naked eye damage was visible under microscope (redundant, contradictory?)
   - If sense 2: large-scale/structural damage was visible (makes sense)

   Also, WordNet sense 4 applies to "rocks and anatomical features" visible to naked eye. But chromosomes are not visible to naked eye. So sense 4 is technically incorrect.

   Therefore, sense 2 is better: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" = relating to the overall structure, not minute details; coarse; macroscopic in a relative sense.

   But let me check if sense 4 could apply. Maybe in WordNet, "anatomical features" includes things visible only under microscope? No, that would contradict "visible to the naked eye".

   Actually, looking at WordNet online: "gross, megascopic -- (visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features))"

   This clearly excludes microscopic features.

   Therefore, for chromosome damage (microscopic), sense 4 cannot be correct.

   So we eliminate 4.

   Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail; "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"; for example, gross brain anatomy would be the major structures, as opposed to cellular details.

   "Gross chromosome damage" = damage affecting the coarse structure of the chromosome, visible as abnormalities under the microscope.

   This fits perfectly.

   Sense 7 is about moral indignation.
   Sense 5 is intensifier.
   Sense 6 is indecent.
   Sense 3 is fat.
   Sense 1 is financial.

   So the answer must be sense 2.

   Wait, I want to double-check sense 4's applicability. Is there any way chromosomes are considered visible to the naked eye? No.

   Could "gross" be sense 5: "without qualification; used informally as (often pejorative) intensifiers"?
   "Gross chromosome damage" = complete/total damage? Maybe, but the context suggests it's about the detectability/visibility.

   Actually, looking at the user's sense indexing:

   In biological literature, "gross morphology" refers to morphology visible without magnification.
   But for things requiring microscopes, "gross" can mean "at the level of the whole organism/organ/tissue" vs "cellular/molecular".

   But specifically for chromosomes, "gross chromosomal abnormalities" are abnormalities of chromosome number or large structure visible under a microscope during karyotyping.

   The word "gross" here means "large-scale" or "macroscopic relative to the chromosome".

   This aligns with sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail".

   I will go with sense 2.

   Actually, let me reconsider one more time. Is there any chance it's sense 4?

   The context says: "under a microscope they could see... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

   The parallelism suggests: they could see chromosomes, and occasionally they could see gross damage.

   But "megascopic" (synonym for sense 4) is the opposite of microscopic.

   If they are looking under a microscope, they are looking for microscopic features. "Gross" damage would be damage visible without a microscope, but since they're looking at chromosomes which require a microscope, this is confusing.

   However, in standard medical English, "gross" and "microscopic" are contrasting terms. You examine tissue "grossly" (with naked eye) and then under the microscope.

   But for chromosomes, you can't see them grossly. You can only see them microscopically. So "gross chromosome damage" is a bit of a misnomer if taken literally, but in genetics it means "cytogenetically visible" as opposed to "molecularly detectable".

   Given the options, and that sense 4 specifically mentions "anatomical features" but requires them to be naked-eye visible, and chromosomes are anatomical features but not naked-eye visible, while sense 2 is about the level of detail which is applicable to microscopic structures too (gross structural damage vs subtle damage), I think sense 2 is the correct choice.

   Final decision: sense 2 (index 2).

   Wait, I should reconsider sense 4 one more time. Maybe the user expects sense 4 because it's the biological sense, even if imperfectly matched.

   But as a linguist, I should choose the sense that actually fits.

   "Gross" meaning "obvious, conspicuous" could be sense 7, but that's for moral things.

   "Gross" meaning "complete, total" (sense 5)?

   Let me look at the example for sense 2 again: "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"

   This is very similar to "gross chromosome damage". Both are about physical structures.

   Example for sense 4: no example given in the prompt.

   The context mentions "under a microscope... visible". This suggests that "gross" is being used to describe the type of damage that can be seen.

   In the history of genetics, "gross chromosomal aberrations" is a standard term.

   I found a reference: "Gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs)" - here gross means large-scale.

   Sense 2: lacking fine distinctions or detail = coarse, large-scale.

   Yes.

   One final check: Could it be sense 1? "before any deductions" - gross income? No.

   Could it be sense 5? "an arrant fool; a complete coward" - "gross chromosome damage" = complete damage? Maybe, but less likely than "coarse/large-scale" damage.

   I choose sense 2.

Target lemma: damage
Target surface form: damage
Context:
The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

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

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about tumor-suppressor genes and retinoblastoma
 - It mentions "gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible"
 - The context is about genetic/chromosomal damage - a change for the worse in the chromosome structure
 - It's talking about visible changes/deterioration in chromosomes under a microscope

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=damage%1:11:00:: | definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment
    - This seems to fit well. Chromosome damage refers to a change in the chromosome structure (for the worse). It's a state/condition of being damaged.

 2. sense_key=damage%1:11:01:: | definition=loss of military equipment | synonyms=equipment casualty
    - This is clearly wrong. No military context here.

 3. sense_key=damage%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of damaging something or someone | synonyms=harm, hurt, scathe
    - This refers to the act/process of causing damage. But in the context "gross chromosome damage was visible", it seems to refer to the state/result of damage, not the act of damaging. The visibility suggests we're looking at the result/state.

 4. sense_key=damage%1:21:00:: | definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | synonyms=price, terms
    - Wrong context. Not about money.

 5. sense_key=damage%1:04:01:: | definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right | synonyms=wrong, legal injury
    - Wrong context. Not about legal rights.

 So it's between sense 1 and sense 3.

 Sense 1 (damage%1:11:00::) is a noun referring to the occurrence/result - "the occurrence of a change for the worse"
 Sense 3 (damage%1:04:00::) is a noun referring to the act - "the act of damaging something or someone"

 In the sentence: "Occasionally, gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible."

 If damage is "visible" under a microscope, we're looking at the physical manifestation of the damage - the changed state of the chromosome. This aligns with "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (sense 1) rather than "the act of damaging" (sense 3).

 Also, looking at the synonyms:
 - Sense 1: harm, impairment
 - Sense 3: harm, hurt, scathe

 "Impairment" fits well with chromosome damage - an impaired chromosome structure.

 The context also mentions "inherited a damaged copy" earlier, which suggests a state/condition of being damaged, not the act of damaging.

 Therefore, sense 1 (index 1) is the best choice.

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense keys to make sure I understand the indices correctly.

 The user lists:
 1. sense_key=damage%1:11:00::
 2. sense_key=damage%1:11:01::
 3. sense_key=damage%1:04:00::
 4. sense_key=damage%1:21:00::
 5. sense_key=damage%1:04:01::

 So index 1 is the first one in the list.

 Actually, looking at the lexicographer file numbers:
 - %1:11:00:: - noun.state (11 is state/condition)
 - %1:04:00:: - noun.act (04 is act/action)

 Yes, sense 1 is the state/condition sense, which fits "chromosome damage" as a visible condition/state.

 Sense 3 is the act sense.

 The phrase "damage was visible" clearly indicates we're talking about the visible result/state, not the act of damaging.

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

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

Context: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

The sentence is talking about scientists looking at chromosomes under a microscope. They could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes, and occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=visible%3:00:00:: | definition=capable of being seen; or open to easy view | synonyms=seeable | examples=a visible object; visible stars
   - This is the basic sense of "capable of being seen" or "open to easy view"
   - The example "a visible object" fits well with chromosome damage being seen under a microscope

2. sense_key=visible%5:00:00:overt:00 | definition=obvious to the eye | examples=a visible change of expression
   - This is more about being "obvious" or "noticeable" rather than just "capable of being seen"
   - The example "a visible change of expression" suggests something that stands out, is noticeable/obvious
   - While chromosome damage might be obvious, the context emphasizes the capability of being seen under a microscope (scientific observation), not necessarily that it stands out or is obvious in the sense of being overt

3. sense_key=visible%5:00:00:available:00 | definition=present and easily available | examples=the cash on hand is adequate for current needs; emergency police were on hand in case of trouble
   - This is clearly wrong. The context is about seeing chromosomes under a microscope, not about availability.

Between sense 1 and sense 2:
Sense 1 (3:00:00) is the primary adjective sense meaning "capable of being seen; or open to easy view".
Sense 2 (5:00:00:overt:00) is a satellite adjective meaning "obvious to the eye".

The context is scientific: "under a microscope they could see... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

The key phrase is "under a microscope they could see" - this establishes that we're talking about the capability of being seen/perceived visually. The word "visible" here means "capable of being seen" (i.e., perceptible to the eye, seeable).

Sense 1 examples: "a visible object; visible stars" - these are things that can be seen, just like chromosome damage under a microscope.

Sense 2 examples: "a visible change of expression" - this implies something that is clearly apparent, obvious, overt. While chromosome damage might be obvious, the context emphasizes the physical capability of being seen under magnification, not the obviousness or overt nature of it.

Also, looking at the WordNet structure:
- 3:00:00 is the main sense (adjective)
- 5:00:00 senses are satellite adjectives (pertainyms or similar)

The context "gross chromosome damage was visible" under a microscope fits best with "capable of being seen" (sense 1) rather than "obvious to the eye" (sense 2). The focus is on the perceptibility through visual inspection (microscope), not on the conspicuousness or obviousness.

Therefore, the best choice is sense_index: 1.

Wait, I need to check the exact format. The user wants: {"sense_index": 3} format, where the number corresponds to the candidate sense number (1, 2, or 3).

So my answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}
