Target lemma: average
Target surface form: average
Context:
For the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, the effects of Alimta were compared with those of docetaxel (another anticancer medicine) in one study involving 571 patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease who had received chemotherapy in the past. Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past. In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an <t>average</t> of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators.

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

 Context analysis:
 - The text is about clinical studies comparing cancer treatments (Alimta vs other drugs)
 - The specific sentence: "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."
 - Here, "average" refers to the mean survival time - a statistical measure describing the central tendency of a distribution of survival times.

 Candidate sense analysis:
 1. sense_key=average%1:09:00:: | definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | synonyms=norm | examples=it set the norm for American homes
    - This is the statistical sense - referring to the arithmetic mean or other measures of central tendency.
    - In the context, "average of 12.1 months" clearly refers to the mean survival time, which is a statistic describing the location of the distribution of survival times.

 2. sense_key=average%1:24:00:: | definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
    - This is clearly about sports statistics (like batting average).
    - The context is medical/clinical, not sports. So this is wrong.

 3. sense_key=average%1:09:01:: | definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average
    - This refers to being "average" as in ordinary, typical, or middle-of-the-road quality/quantity.
    - While related to the concept of mean, this sense is more about the quality of being unremarkable or typical (e.g., "average student").
    - In the context "average of 12.1 months", it's specifically referring to the calculated statistical mean, not describing something as being of ordinary quality.

 The key distinction:
 - Sense 1: The statistical calculation (arithmetic mean) - "the average is 12.1 months"
 - Sense 3: The quality of being ordinary or typical - "he is average height"

 In the sentence "survived for an average of 12.1 months", this is clearly referring to the statistical mean (arithmetic average) of the survival times in the patient group. This matches sense 1: "a statistic describing the location of a distribution".

 The synonym "norm" in sense 1 might seem confusing because "norm" can mean "normal/typical", but in statistical contexts, "norm" can also relate to the average. However, looking at the definition "a statistic describing the location of a distribution" - this is exactly what the mean (average) is.

 Sense 3's examples ("about average in height", "below average") suggest it's used as an adjective or noun referring to the middle point of a scale of quality/quantity in a general sense, whereas sense 1 is specifically the statistical technical term.

 Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet:
 - average%1:09:00:: is likely the noun referring to the arithmetic mean (statistic)
 - average%1:09:01:: is likely the noun referring to the middle value on a scale (the "norm" in the sense of what's typical)

 But wait, the synonym for sense 1 is "norm", and the definition mentions "statistic". In the medical context, "average survival time" is definitely a statistic (the mean survival time).

 Let me reconsider sense 3: "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual". This could potentially apply to "12.1 months" if interpreted as "the usual/normal survival time". However, the phrase "an average of 12.1 months" strongly suggests the statistical calculation across the group, not just that 12.1 months is a typical value.

 Also, sense 1 has the example "it set the norm for American homes" - here "norm" seems to mean standard/pattern, which is close to average as a statistic.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet entries:
 - average (n) sense 1: a statistic describing the location of a distribution (synonyms: norm)
 - average (n) sense 2: (sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
 - average (n) sense 3: an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual

 In the context "an average of 12.1 months", this is clearly sense 1 - the arithmetic mean calculated from the data. It's a specific statistical measure.

 Sense 3 would be used in contexts like "his height is about average" or "the temperature is below average" - where it refers to the middle point of a range or what is considered normal.

 Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

 Wait, I need to check if there's any ambiguity. The phrase "average of 12.1 months" could theoretically be interpreted as "a typical duration of 12.1 months" (sense 3), but in the context of clinical trials reporting results, "average" almost always means the arithmetic mean (statistical average). The mention of "survival time" and the comparison with specific numbers (9.3 months) confirms this is a statistical report.

 So sense 1 is correct.

 But let me double-check the sense indices provided:
 1. sense_key=average%1:09:00::
 2. sense_key=average%1:24:00::
 3. sense_key=average%1:09:01::

 The user asks for the "sense_index", which appears to be the number at the beginning (1, 2, or 3).

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

 Actually, looking at the format again, the user says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." So I need to provide the index number of the chosen sense.

 Chosen sense: 1 (sense_key=average%1:09:00::)

 Reasoning:
 - The context describes a clinical study measuring survival time
 - "Average" here refers to the arithmetic mean of the survival times, which is a statistical measure describing the central location of the distribution of survival times in the patient population
 - This matches definition 1: "a statistic describing the location of a distribution"
 - Definition 2 is sports-specific and irrelevant
 - Definition 3 refers to an intermediate value regarded as normal/usual, which while related, is less specific than the statistical sense required here; the context is clearly reporting a calculated statistical measure (12.1 months vs 9.3 months), not just describing something as being of ordinary magnitude

 Final check: Is there any chance sense 3 is better? Sense 3 examples: "he is about average in height; the snowfall this month is below average". These are descriptive uses. But "survived for an average of 12.1 months" is reporting a computed mean from a dataset. This is definitely the statistical sense.

 Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "months" in the given context. The target lemma is "month" and the surface form is "months".

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about medical studies comparing cancer treatments (Alimta vs other drugs)
- The specific sentence is: "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."
- Here, "months" refers to a duration of time - specifically approximately 30-day periods used to measure survival time in clinical trials.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=month%1:28:01:: | definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | synonyms=calendar month | examples=he paid the bill last month
   - This refers to calendar months (January, February, etc.) or specific named months in the calendar system.
   - Example "he paid the bill last month" refers to the previous calendar month.

2. sense_key=month%1:28:00:: | definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill
   - This refers to a duration of approximately 30 days, not necessarily aligned with calendar months.
   - Example "he was given a month to pay the bill" refers to a 30-day period.

In the context of the medical study, "12.1 months" and "9.3 months" refer to durations of time - specifically periods of approximately 30 days each. These are not referring to specific calendar months (like January, February), but rather to lengths of time/survival duration.

In clinical trials and medical contexts, survival time is typically measured in units of approximately 30 days (months as a unit of time), not as specific calendar months. The values 12.1 and 9.3 are decimal numbers, which strongly suggests these are durations (you wouldn't say "12.1 Januarys" or refer to 12.1 specific calendar months in this way).

Therefore, sense 2 (month%1:28:00::) is the correct choice - "a time unit of approximately 30 days".

Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user asks for a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}, but the candidate senses are numbered 1 and 2. I should return the index number from the candidate list.

Candidate 1: month%1:28:01:: (calendar month)
Candidate 2: month%1:28:00:: (time unit of ~30 days)

The correct sense is 2.

But I need to be careful about the format. The user says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}". This suggests I should return the index number of the sense in the candidate list. Since the correct sense is the second one listed, I should return {"sense_index": 2}.

Let me verify once more:
- "12.1 months" - this is clearly a duration measured in 30-day units, not referring to specific calendar months like "January through December"
- In medical studies, survival is measured in time units
- The decimal values (12.1, 9.3) confirm this is a continuous time measurement, not discrete calendar months

Yes, sense 2 is correct.

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

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about medical studies comparing Alimta with other anticancer medicines
 - The specific sentence is: "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."
 - This is setting up a comparison between two survival times: 12.1 months vs 9.3 months

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=compare%2:31:00:: | definition=examine and note the similarities or differences of | examples=John compared his haircut to his friend's; We compared notes after we had both seen the movie
    - This is about examining similarities or differences between two things
    - The structure "compared with" here suggests examining the difference between 12.1 months and 9.3 months

 2. sense_key=compare%2:42:00:: | definition=be comparable | examples=This car does not compare with our line of Mercedes
    - This is about being comparable or worthy of comparison
    - The example "does not compare with" suggests this is an intransitive use meaning "to be equal or similar"
    - In our context, it's not saying "12.1 months compared with 9.3 months" in the sense of "12.1 months is comparable to 9.3 months" - rather it's setting up a contrast/comparison between the two values

 3. sense_key=compare%2:31:01:: | definition=consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous | synonyms=liken, equate | examples=We can compare the Han dynasty to the Romans; You cannot equate success in financial matters with greed
    - This is about likening one thing to another, treating them as similar or analogous
    - The example uses "compare... to" or "equate... with"
    - In our context, we're not saying 12.1 months is analogous to 9.3 months - we're contrasting them to show a difference

 4. sense_key=compare%2:32:00:: | definition=to form the comparative or superlative form on an adjective or adverb
    - This is a grammatical/linguistic sense about forming comparative forms (e.g., "taller")
    - Clearly not relevant here

 Now, between sense 1 and sense 3:
 - Sense 1 is about examining similarities or differences (contrasting)
 - Sense 3 is about likening, equating, or describing as similar

 In the phrase "compared with 9.3 months", the meaning is: "when we examine the difference between 12.1 months and 9.3 months" or "in comparison to 9.3 months". This is about noting the difference (12.1 vs 9.3), not about saying they are similar or analogous.

 Actually, looking more carefully at the structure:
 "Patients receiving Alimta... survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."

 This is using "compared with" to introduce the contrasting figure. This is sense 1: examining and noting the similarities or differences.

 Sense 3 would be more like "We can compare the survival time to a marathon" (likening it to something else) or treating them as equal/analogous.

 But wait, let me look at the examples again:
 Sense 1 examples: "John compared his haircut to his friend's" - this is examining differences/similarities
 Sense 3 examples: "We can compare the Han dynasty to the Romans" - this is likening, treating as analogous

 In medical/clinical trial contexts, when we say "X was compared with Y", we are typically examining the differences in outcomes between two treatment groups. This is sense 1.

 However, looking at the specific phrase "12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months", this is a participial phrase showing the contrast between the two numbers. It's noting the difference between the two survival times.

 Sense 1 seems correct: examining and noting the similarities or differences.

 But let me double-check sense 2. Sense 2 is "be comparable" - intransitive. Example: "This car does not compare with our line of Mercedes" meaning "is not comparable to" or "doesn't match up to". In our sentence, "compared" is clearly transitive (or passive), not intransitive "is comparable".

 Actually, looking at the syntax: "12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months" - this is a reduced passive construction: "(which was) compared with 9.3 months". So it's transitive.

 Between sense 1 and sense 3:
 - Sense 1: examine similarities or differences
 - Sense 3: consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous

 In the context of clinical trials, when we compare survival times, we are examining the difference between them (12.1 vs 9.3). We are not saying they are similar or analogous - in fact, we're highlighting the difference (2.8 months improvement).

 Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

 Wait, I should reconsider sense 3. The definition says "consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous". But in the example "We can compare the Han dynasty to the Romans", this could mean drawing an analogy (they are similar in some ways). But in "John compared his haircut to his friend's" (sense 1), this could also involve noting similarities.

 Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully:
 Sense 1 (compare%2:31:00::) is the general sense of making a comparison, examining similarities and differences.
 Sense 3 (compare%2:31:01::) is more specific to likening, equating - treating things as analogous or equal.

 In the phrase "compared with", when used to contrast two numbers like "12.1 months compared with 9.3 months", this is clearly about examining the difference between them, not equating them or treating them as analogous.

 Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

 But let me check if there's any chance it's sense 3. The synonyms for sense 3 are "liken, equate". We are not likening 12.1 months to 9.3 months, nor equating them. We are contrasting them.

 So sense 1 is definitely the answer.

 Index 1 corresponds to sense_key=compare%2:31:00::.

 Wait, I need to make sure about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=compare%2:31:00::
 2. sense_key=compare%2:42:00::
 3. sense_key=compare%2:31:01::
 4. sense_key=compare%2:32:00::

 So sense 1 is index 1, sense 2 is index 2, etc.

 My answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

 But let me reconsider one more time. Is there any ambiguity?

 The phrase "compared with" can sometimes be used to mean "in contrast to" or "as opposed to", which is clearly about noting differences (sense 1).

 Sense 3 would be used in contexts like "He compared the heart to a pump" (likening, analogy).

 In our medical context: "12.1 months compared with 9.3 months" - this is presenting the two data points for comparison/contrast. It's sense 1.

 Yes, I'm confident it's sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "months" in the given context. The target lemma is "month" and the surface form is "months" (plural).

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about clinical studies for cancer treatment (Alimta, docetaxel, gemcitabine, cisplatin)
- It mentions survival times: "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."
- Here, "months" refers to a duration of time - specifically approximately 30-day periods used to measure survival time.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=month%1:28:01:: | definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | synonyms=calendar month | examples=he paid the bill last month
   - This refers to calendar months (January, February, etc.) or the specific divisions of the year.
   - The example "he paid the bill last month" suggests a specific calendar month or the period of a specific month in the calendar.

2. sense_key=month%1:28:00:: | definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill
   - This refers to a duration of approximately 30 days, regardless of which specific calendar months are involved.
   - The example "he was given a month to pay the bill" suggests a duration of about 30 days.

In the context:
- "12.1 months" and "9.3 months" refer to durations of survival time.
- These are not referring to specific calendar months (like January, February), but rather to time periods of approximately 30 days each.
- 12.1 months is roughly 365 days, 9.3 months is roughly 279 days.
- This is clearly a measurement of time duration, not a reference to specific calendar divisions.

Therefore, sense 2 (month%1:28:00::) is the correct choice because it refers to "a time unit of approximately 30 days" which matches the usage in the medical context where survival time is being measured as a duration.

Sense 1 would be appropriate if the text said something like "the study started in January and ended 12 months later" where it might be referring to calendar months, but even then, when used as a duration measurement in medical contexts, it's typically the time unit sense.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- "12.1 months" - this is a decimal/fractional number of months. You can't really have 0.1 of a calendar month (since calendar months vary in length), but you can have 0.1 of a 30-day time unit (3 days).
- The fact that it's expressed as "12.1 months" strongly suggests it's being used as a continuous time measurement (duration), not discrete calendar months.

So the answer should be sense index 2.

Wait, I need to check the format. The user wants:
{"sense_index": 2}

But I need to make sure about the indexing. The candidate senses are labeled:
1. sense_key=month%1:28:01::
2. sense_key=month%1:28:00::

So sense 1 is the calendar month sense, sense 2 is the time unit sense.

I should return {"sense_index": 2}.

Let me double-check WordNet:
- month%1:28:00:: - "a time unit of approximately 30 days" - "he was given a month to pay the bill"
- month%1:28:01:: - "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" - "he paid the bill last month"

Yes, in the context of survival analysis in clinical trials, "months" refers to the time unit of approximately 30 days, not specific calendar months. The values 12.1 and 9.3 are continuous measurements of time.

Therefore, the correct answer is sense_index 2.

4. treatment%1:10:00:: - an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic | synonyms=discussion, discourse

Sense 1 is clearly the best fit. The context is medical (anticancer medicine, patients, lung cancer, chemotherapy). The definition mentions "especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury" which matches perfectly. The synonym "intervention" also fits in a medical context.

Sense 2 could theoretically apply to "management of someone" but the examples show handling prisoners or sewage, not medical treatment. The medical context strongly favors sense 1.

Sense 3 is artistic - clearly wrong.
Sense 4 is about communication/discourse - clearly wrong.

So the answer should be sense_index: 1.

Wait, let me double-check the sense keys and indices. The user lists:

4. sense_key=treatment%1:10:00::

So index 1 corresponds to the medical sense.

Target lemma: patient
Target surface form: patients
Context:
Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past. In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of <t>patients</t> with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators. In patients who had received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 8.3 months with Alimta, compared with 7.9 months with docetaxel.

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

 Target lemma: patient
 Target surface form: patients
 Context: Medical text about Alimta (anticancer medicine), clinical studies, survival times, chemotherapy, lung cancer, etc.

 Candidate senses:
 1. patient%1:18:00:: - "a person who requires medical care" - examples: "the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly"
 2. patient%1:10:00:: - "the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause" - synonyms: affected role, patient role

 Analysis:
 The context is clearly about medical/clinical studies. The text mentions:
 - "1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer"
 - "how long the patients survived"
 - "patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma"
 - "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin"
 - "patients with non-small cell lung cancer"
 - "patients who had received chemotherapy"

 These are clearly referring to people receiving medical treatment, i.e., "a person who requires medical care" or who is receiving medical care.

 Sense 2 is about semantic roles in linguistics/grammar (the patient role in a sentence, like "the ball was hit by John" where "the ball" is the patient). This is clearly not the meaning here. The text is discussing actual human beings participating in clinical trials.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

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

 Wait, looking at the instructions: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

 So I should return {"sense_index": 1} since sense 1 is the correct one.

 Let me double-check the sense keys:
 - patient%1:18:00:: corresponds to sense 1 (noun, person)
 - patient%1:10:00:: corresponds to sense 2 (noun, semantic role)

 Yes, sense 1 is the medical patient meaning.

 The context is definitely about medical patients, not grammatical patients.

 Final answer: {"sense_index": 1}

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

 Context analysis:
 - The text is about medical/clinical trials involving Alimta (a chemotherapy drug)
 - Specifically mentions: "non-small cell lung cancer"
 - This is a medical term referring to a type of lung cancer
 - "Non-small cell lung cancer" (NSCLC) is a standard medical classification

 Candidate sense analysis:
 1. cell%1:06:03:: - "any small compartment" - examples: honeycomb cells. This is too general, not biological.
 2. cell%1:03:00:: - "(biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms..." - This is the biological sense of cell.
 3. cell%1:06:00:: - "a device that delivers an electric current..." - electric cell/battery. Not relevant here.
 4. cell%1:14:00:: - "a small unit serving as part of or as the nucleus of a larger political movement" - political cell. Not relevant.
 5. cell%1:06:04:: - "a hand-held mobile radiotelephone..." - cellphone. Not relevant.
 6. cell%1:06:02:: - "small room in which a monk or nun lives" - monastic cell. Not relevant.
 7. cell%1:06:01:: - "a room where a prisoner is kept" - prison cell. Not relevant.

 The phrase "non-small cell lung cancer" is a medical term where "cell" refers to biological cells. In oncology, lung cancers are classified into small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on the type of cells involved.

 Therefore, the correct sense is the biological one: sense_key=cell%1:03:00::, which corresponds to sense index 2 in the list (assuming the list is 1-indexed as shown).

 Wait, let me check the indexing. The candidate senses are numbered 1-7. I need to return the index number.

 Sense 2: cell%1:03:00:: - (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms...

 This matches "non-small cell lung cancer" perfectly, as this refers to the biological classification of cancer cells.

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

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

 Context analysis:
 - The text is about a medical study comparing Alimta (an anticancer medicine) with other treatments
 - The specific sentence is: "In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as <t>effective</t> as the comparators."
 - This is comparing the efficacy/treatment outcomes of Alimta versus other drugs (docetaxel, gemcitabine)
 - The context discusses survival times, effectiveness in treatment, medical outcomes
 - "Alimta was as effective as the comparators" means it produced similar intended results (survival benefits) as the other drugs

 Candidate sense analysis:

 1. sense_key=effective%3:00:00:: | definition=producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect
    - This seems very relevant. The "intended result" here is treating cancer/extending survival.
    - Synonyms: effectual, efficacious
    - Examples mention "effective teaching methods" - producing desired outcomes

 2. sense_key=effective%5:00:00:competent:00 | definition=able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively
    - Synonyms: efficient
    - Examples mention "highly effective persons" - referring to people who are competent/efficient
    - This seems more about competence/efficiency of people or systems, not medical efficacy

 3. sense_key=effective%5:00:00:efficacious:00 | definition=works well as a means or remedy
    - Examples: "an effective reprimand", "lotion that is effective"
    - This is specifically about remedies/treatments working well
    - This could fit well for a medicine

 4. sense_key=effective%5:00:00:operative:00 | definition=exerting force or influence
    - Synonyms: good, in effect, in force
    - Examples: "the law is effective immediately"
    - This is about being in force/legally binding, not about medical efficacy

 5. sense_key=effective%5:00:00:actual:00 | definition=existing in fact; not theoretical; real
    - Examples: "effective demand", "effective work done"
    - This is about actual vs theoretical, not relevant here

 6. sense_key=effective%5:00:00:operational:00 | definition=ready for service
    - Examples: "100 effective soldiers"
    - This is about being fit for duty/service, not relevant for drug comparison

 Now comparing sense 1 and sense 3, as both seem potentially relevant:

 Sense 1 (effective%3:00:00::): "producing or capable of producing an intended result"
 - Very general sense of producing desired outcomes
 - Synonyms: effectual, efficacious

 Sense 3 (effective%5:00:00:efficacious:00): "works well as a means or remedy"
 - More specific to remedies/treatments
 - "works well as a means or remedy"

 In the context of comparing cancer drugs, both could work, but sense 1 is the core adjective sense that applies broadly to things that produce intended results. However, sense 3 is specifically about remedies.

 Let me look more carefully at the WordNet structure. Sense 1 is the main sense (3:00:00), while senses 2-6 are satellite adjectives (5:00:00...).

 Sense 3 is specifically marked as "efficacious" - which means "successful in producing a desired or intended result" - specifically for remedies/medicines.

 But wait, looking at the examples for sense 3: "an effective reprimand; a lotion that is effective in cases of prickly heat"
 - The lotion example is medical/topical treatment, which is very close to our context of Alimta (a medicine).

 However, sense 1 examples include: "an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation; effective teaching methods"
 - This is the general sense of producing intended results.

 In medical contexts, when we say a drug is "effective", we usually mean it produces the intended therapeutic result. Both senses capture this, but sense 1 is the primary sense.

 Actually, looking at WordNet structure:
 - Sense 1 (3:00:00) is the main adjective sense: "producing or capable of producing an intended result"
 - Sense 3 (5:00:00:efficacious:00) is a satellite of efficacious: "works well as a means or remedy"

 The key distinction:
 - Sense 1 is about producing intended results generally (broad)
 - Sense 3 is specifically about remedies/means working well

 In the sentence "Alimta was as effective as the comparators", this is a direct comparison of medical efficacy. The word is being used to describe the drug's ability to produce the intended result (treating cancer/extending survival).

 However, I need to check if sense 3 is actually a distinct sense or if it's grouped under efficacious. The sense key shows effective%5:00:00:efficacious:00, which means it's a satellite adjective linked to efficacious.

 In WordNet, "effective" as a general term for producing results is sense 1. The specific sense about remedies is sense 3.

 But looking at the examples again:
 - Sense 1: "effective teaching methods" - producing learning
 - Sense 3: "a lotion that is effective" - working as a remedy

 The context is clearly medical - comparing anticancer medicines. The word "effective" here means "producing the desired therapeutic effect" or "working well as a treatment."

 However, in standard WordNet disambiguation, sense 1 is usually the correct choice for "effective" when something produces the intended result, even for medicines. Sense 3 is more specifically about the remedy aspect.

 Let me reconsider the distinction. Sense 3 is defined as "works well as a means or remedy" and is a satellite of "efficacious". Sense 1 is "producing or capable of producing an intended result".

 In the phrase "as effective as", comparing two cancer drugs, we are saying they produce equivalent intended results (survival benefit). This fits sense 1 perfectly.

 Sense 3 might be slightly more specific to the remedy aspect, but sense 1 is the standard sense used for drugs and treatments producing desired outcomes.

 Actually, looking carefully at the satellite structure:
 - Sense 2 is satellite of "competent" (efficient)
 - Sense 3 is satellite of "efficacious"
 - Sense 4 is satellite of "operative" (in force)
 - Sense 5 is satellite of "actual"
 - Sense 6 is satellite of "operational"

 Sense 3 being a satellite of "efficacious" suggests it's specifically about efficacy in treatment. But "efficacious" itself means "producing the desired result" specifically for treatments/remedies.

 However, sense 1 already covers "producing or capable of producing an intended result" and lists "efficacious" as a synonym.

 Wait, looking at the synonyms listed:
 - Sense 1: effectual, efficacious
 - Sense 3: (no synonyms listed in the prompt, but implied by being satellite of efficacious)

 Actually, sense 3 is marked as effective%5:00:00:efficacious:00, meaning it's a satellite adjective that is similar to efficacious.

 But sense 1 already has efficacious as a synonym. So what's the difference?

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 1 (3:00:00) is the direct adjective sense
 - The 5:00:00 senses are satellite adjectives (pertainyms or similar)

 Sense 3 specifically: "works well as a means or remedy"
 This is very close to the medical context.

 But sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result"
 This is broader and includes medical contexts.

 Let me look at the examples provided for sense 3 again: "an effective reprimand; a lotion that is effective in cases of prickly heat"
 - "Lotion" is a medical/topical treatment, similar to Alimta (a medicine).

 Examples for sense 1: "an air-cooled motor...; effective teaching methods"
 - These are general purpose effectiveness, not specifically remedial.

 Given that the context is specifically about a medicine (Alimta) being compared to other medicines for treating cancer, and the specific mention of "treatment of patients", sense 3 seems very appropriate as it specifically refers to remedies.

 However, I should check if "effective" in comparative clinical trials is typically sense 1 or sense 3.

 In clinical trial language, "effective" means "producing the intended therapeutic effect" which aligns with sense 1. But sense 3 is specifically about remedies.

 Actually, looking at standard WSD datasets like SemCor or Senseval, for medical contexts:
 - "an effective drug" is usually tagged with sense 1 (the main sense) or sometimes sense 3.

 But given that sense 3 explicitly mentions "remedy" and the example includes "lotion" (a medical treatment), and our context is about comparing cancer drugs, sense 3 seems like a strong candidate.

 However, sense 1 is the broader, more common sense. The phrase "as effective as" in comparative effectiveness research usually maps to sense 1.

 Let me reconsider sense 2: "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively" - synonyms: efficient. This is about competence/efficiency, not about therapeutic efficacy. Not right.

 Sense 4: about laws being in force. Not relevant.

 Sense 5: about actual vs theoretical. Not relevant.

 Sense 6: about soldiers being ready for service. Not relevant.

 So it's between 1 and 3.

 Sense 1 definition: "producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect"
 - The intended result is survival/cancer treatment.
 - This fits well.

 Sense 3 definition: "works well as a means or remedy"
 - Alimta is a remedy (medicine).
 - This fits well.

 Which is better?
 The key might be in the examples. Sense 3's example includes "a lotion that is effective" which is very similar to "Alimta was... effective" - both are medicines/treatments.

 However, sense 1 is the primary sense and is used for "effective teaching methods" etc.

 In WordNet, sense 3 is specifically the "efficacious" sense - meaning it specifically pertains to treatments and remedies working well.

 Given the explicit medical context (anticancer medicine, treatment of patients), sense 3 seems more precise. However, sense 1 is also correct and is the more general sense.

 But wait, the instruction says "Choose the single best indexed sense" and "WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together."

 The context is: "In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators."

 This is saying the drug works well as a treatment (remedy) compared to others.

 However, looking at the synonyms for sense 1: "effectual, efficacious" - efficacious specifically means effective as a treatment. So sense 1 already covers the medical meaning via its synonym.

 But sense 3 is specifically the satellite of efficacious.

 In WordNet hierarchy:
 - effective (sense 1) is similar to effectual, efficacious
 - effective (sense 3) is a satellite adjective specifically meaning "works well as a means or remedy" and is grouped under efficacious

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet:
 effective.a.01 (sense 1): producing or capable of producing an intended result
 effective.a.02 (sense 2): able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively (efficient)
 effective.s.03 (sense 3): works well as a means or remedy (efficacious)
 effective.s.04 (sense 4): exerting force or influence (operative)
 effective.s.05 (sense 5): existing in fact; not theoretical (actual)
 effective.s.06 (sense 6): ready for service

 Sense 3 is specifically: "works well as a means or remedy"

 Given that Alimta is explicitly a medicine/remedy, and the context is about its performance as a treatment, sense 3 seems the most precise fit.

 However, I need to be careful. In many WSD systems, sense 1 is the default for "effective" when talking about results/outcomes, even for drugs.

 But let's look at the specific wording: "works well as a means or remedy" vs "producing or capable of producing an intended result".

 The context emphasizes survival time (the intended result), which might favor sense 1.

 But the phrase "In the treatment of..." suggests the remedy aspect.

 Let me check if there's any distinction in the examples:
 Sense 1 examples: "an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation; effective teaching methods"
 - These are about achieving goals/transportation and teaching.

 Sense 3 examples: "an effective reprimand; a lotion that is effective in cases of prickly heat"
 - Reprimand (means of discipline), lotion (remedy).

 The lotion example is very close to our context (medicine).

 However, "Alimta was as effective as the comparators" is comparing the efficacy of two treatments. This is essentially saying "works equally well as a remedy", which is exactly sense 3.

 But sense 1 could also apply: "producing an intended result" (survival).

 I think sense 1 is the safer, more general choice, but sense 3 is more specific to the medical context.

 Actually, looking at the sense keys:
 1. effective%3:00:00:: (main adjective)
 3. effective%5:00:00:efficacious:00 (satellite of efficacious)

 In WordNet, the satellite adjectives (5:XX:XX) are similar to their head adjectives. So sense 3 is similar to efficacious.

 But sense 1 already lists efficacious as a synonym.

 The question is: is "effective" in this context closer to sense 1 (general effectiveness) or sense 3 (specifically remedial)?

 Given that the text is from a medical context (EMA/EPAR style document about Alimta), and specifically discusses the drug as a treatment/remedy, and compares it to other treatments, sense 3 seems appropriate.

 However, I recall that in many lexical resources, "effective" for drugs is often mapped to the primary sense (sense 1) unless specifically emphasizing the "remedy" aspect.

 Let me reconsider the definition of sense 3: "works well as a means or remedy"
 The word "means" is broad, "remedy" is specific.

 In the sentence, Alimta is the subject, and it's being compared to comparators (other drugs). It's being described as effective in the treatment.

 Actually, looking at the full context again: "In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators."

 This is standard comparative effectiveness language. In clinical trials, "effective" means producing the intended clinical outcome.

 I think sense 1 is the correct choice because:
 1. It's the primary sense
 2. The definition "producing or capable of producing an intended result" directly applies - the intended result is survival/tumor response
 3. While sense 3 is also applicable, sense 1 is the broader sense that encompasses medical efficacy
 4. The examples for sense 1 include comparisons ("more effective than"), similar to our context ("as effective as")

 Wait, sense 3 examples don't include comparative structures, but sense 1 does ("more effective than").

 Also, sense 1 includes "efficacious" as a synonym, which covers the medical aspect.

 I think sense 1 is the best choice.

 But let me double-check sense 2. Could it be about being "efficient"? No, the context is about survival outcomes, not efficiency of resource use.

 Sense 4? No, not about laws.

 Sense 5? No, not about actual vs theoretical demand.

 Sense 6? No, not about soldiers.

 So it's between 1 and 3.

 Upon reflection, in WordNet:
 - Sense 1 is the general sense: producing intended results
 - Sense 3 is specifically: works well as a means or remedy

 While sense 3 seems tempting for a medical context, sense 1 is actually the standard sense used for drugs and treatments in WordNet annotations. Sense 3 is more specific to the mechanism of working as a remedy, but sense 1 captures the outcome-oriented nature of clinical effectiveness (producing survival benefits).

 Also, the gloss for sense 1 mentions "producing or capable of producing an intended result" - in this context, the intended result is explicitly stated earlier: "the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived."

 Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

 Final check: The word "effective" appears in "as effective as", comparing the survival outcomes. This is about producing the intended result (survival), which maps to sense 1.

 I'll go with sense 1.

Target lemma: patient
Target surface form: patients
Context:
In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators. In <t>patients</t> who had received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 8.3 months with Alimta, compared with 7.9 months with docetaxel. In patients who had not received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 10.3 months in both groups.

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

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about medical studies involving Alimta (a chemotherapy drug)
- It discusses "patients" in the context of survival time, medical treatment, chemotherapy, lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma
- Phrases like "patients survived", "patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma", "Patients receiving Alimta", "treatment of patients"
- These are clearly people receiving medical care/treatment

Now looking at the candidate senses:
1. patient%1:18:00:: - "a person who requires medical care" - examples mention "emergency patients"
2. patient%1:10:00:: - "the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause" - this is a linguistic/grammatical sense (patient role in syntax/semantics)

The context is clearly about medical patients - people being treated for cancer. This is sense 1.

Sense 2 is about the grammatical role (like "the patient of the verb" - the one receiving the action), which is not what's meant here. The text is talking about actual human beings receiving medical treatment.

Target lemma: past
Target surface form: past
Context:
In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators. In patients who had received chemotherapy in the <t>past</t>, the average survival time was 8.3 months with Alimta, compared with 7.9 months with docetaxel. In patients who had not received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 10.3 months in both groups.

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

Context analysis:
The sentence is: "In patients who had received chemotherapy in the <t>past</t>, the average survival time was 8.3 months with Alimta, compared with 7.9 months with docetaxel."

The phrase "in the past" refers to a previous time period before the current study/treatment. It's talking about patients who had received chemotherapy at some earlier time.

Candidate sense analysis:
1. sense_key=past%1:28:00:: | definition=the time that has elapsed | synonyms=past times, yesteryear | examples=forget the past
   - This refers to time that has gone by, previous time periods.
   - "In the past" is a common phrase using this sense.
   - The context is about time that has elapsed (previous chemotherapy treatment).

2. sense_key=past%1:28:01:: | definition=a earlier period in someone's life (especially one that they have reason to keep secret) | examples=reporters dug into the candidate's past
   - This refers to someone's personal history, often with connotations of secrecy or personal biography.
   - The context is about medical history/treatment history, not necessarily a secretive or personal past, though it is about patients' histories.
   - However, the first sense is more general and fits "in the past" better as a temporal reference.

3. sense_key=past%1:10:00:: | definition=a verb tense that expresses actions or states in the past | synonyms=past tense
   - This is a grammatical term.
   - The context is clearly not about grammar or verb tenses.

Decision:
Sense 1 is the best fit. The phrase "in the past" refers to elapsed time, previous time periods. The context discusses patients who received chemotherapy at an earlier time (in the past), which aligns with "the time that has elapsed."

Sense 2 could potentially fit as it refers to an earlier period, but the specific connotation of "especially one that they have reason to keep secret" doesn't apply here, and the general temporal sense (sense 1) is more appropriate for "in the past" referring to previous medical treatment.

The index should be 1.

Wait, I need to check the format. The user wants {"sense_index": 1} (or whatever number corresponds to the best sense).

The candidate senses are listed as:
1. sense_key=past%1:28:00::
2. sense_key=past%1:28:01::
3. sense_key=past%1:10:00::

So sense_index should be 1.

Let me double-check:
- "In patients who had received chemotherapy in the past" - this means at a previous time, before the current study.
- This matches definition 1: "the time that has elapsed"
- Definition 2 is more about someone's personal history/biography with potential secrecy connotations.
- Definition 3 is grammatical.

Yes, sense 1 is correct.

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

 Context analysis:
 The text is about clinical studies measuring survival times of patients receiving different cancer treatments (Alimta, cisplatin, docetaxel).
 The specific sentences containing "average":
 1. "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months..."
 2. "In patients who had received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 8.3 months..."
 3. "In patients who had not received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 10.3 months..."

 These are clearly statistical contexts. The word "average" is being used to describe the arithmetic mean of survival times - a statistical measure of central tendency.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=average%5:00:02:normal:01 | definition=approximating the statistical norm or average or expected value | synonyms=mean | examples=the average income in New England is below that of the nation; of average height for his age
 - This seems to fit. It mentions "statistical norm or average" and synonyms include "mean". The examples include "average income" which is similar to "average survival time".

 2. sense_key=average%5:00:00:common:01 | definition=lacking special distinction, rank, or status; commonly encountered | synonyms=ordinary | examples=average people; the ordinary (or common) man in the street
 - This is about being ordinary/common, not statistical. Doesn't fit.

 3. sense_key=average%5:00:00:ordinary:00 | definition=lacking exceptional quality or ability | synonyms=fair, mediocre, middling | examples=a novel of average merit; only a fair performance of the sonata
 - This is about quality being mediocre. Doesn't fit the statistical context.

 4. sense_key=average%5:00:00:moderate:00 | definition=around the middle of a scale of evaluation | synonyms=intermediate, medium | examples=an orange of average size; intermediate capacity
 - This could potentially fit but is more about physical size/scale rather than statistical calculation. The examples suggest physical attributes ("orange of average size").

 5. sense_key=average%5:00:03:normal:01 | definition=relating to or constituting the most frequent value in a distribution | synonyms=modal | examples=the modal age...
 - This is specifically about the "mode" (most frequent value), not the arithmetic mean. The text mentions specific numbers (12.1 months, 8.3 months) which are likely means, not modes.

 6. sense_key=average%5:00:01:normal:01 | definition=relating to or constituting the middle value of an ordered set of values (or the average of the middle two in a set with an even number of values) | synonyms=median | examples=the median value...
 - This is specifically about the "median". While median is a type of average, the context here is comparing specific calculated values (12.1 vs 9.3, 8.3 vs 7.9) which suggests arithmetic mean. Also, the synonym is "median" which is distinct from "mean".

 Sense 1 is the best fit because:
 - It mentions "statistical norm or average"
 - Synonym is "mean"
 - Examples include "average income" which parallels "average survival time"
 - The context is clearly statistical, reporting numerical results from clinical trials

 The other senses either refer to:
 - Being ordinary/common (senses 2, 3)
 - Being medium/moderate in size (sense 4)
 - Specific statistical measures: mode (sense 5) and median (sense 6)

 While senses 5 and 6 are statistical, they refer to specific types of averages (mode and median). Sense 1 refers to the general concept of the arithmetic mean or expected value, which is what is typically meant when reporting "average survival time" in clinical studies unless specified otherwise (like "median survival time").

 Therefore, the answer should be sense index 1.

 Wait, let me double-check the sense keys and indices. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=average%5:00:02:normal:01
 2. sense_key=average%5:00:00:common:01
 3. sense_key=average%5:00:00:ordinary:00
 4. sense_key=average%5:00:00:moderate:00
 5. sense_key=average%5:00:03:normal:01
 6. sense_key=average%5:00:01:normal:01

 So the indices are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 as listed.

 Sense 1 is definitely the correct choice.

 The output should be: {"sense_index": 1}

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

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about medical studies measuring how long patients survived
- It mentions "survival time" multiple times
- It compares survival times between different treatment groups (Alimta vs cisplatin, Alimta vs docetaxel)
- The context is about patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer
- The specific target is in the phrase "the average <t>survival</t> time was 8.3 months"

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=survival%1:26:00:: | definition=a state of surviving; remaining alive | synonyms=endurance
   - This seems to refer to the state or condition of being alive, continuing to live
   - "Survival time" in medical context refers to the duration of remaining alive
   - This fits well with "average survival time" - measuring how long patients remain alive

2. sense_key=survival%1:22:00:: | definition=a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment | synonyms=survival of the fittest, natural selection, selection
   - This is about evolutionary biology, natural selection
   - The context is about cancer patients and medical treatment, not evolution
   - This doesn't fit at all

3. sense_key=survival%1:04:00:: | definition=something that survives
   - This refers to an object or thing that has survived (like a relic, artifact, or remnant)
   - Example might be "a survival from ancient times"
   - In the context, "survival" is not referring to a physical object that survived, but to the act or state of surviving or the duration of life

The phrase "survival time" is a technical term in medical/clinical trials context referring to the length of time patients remain alive. This aligns with sense 1: "a state of surviving; remaining alive" - specifically focusing on the duration of that state.

Sense 1 (survival%1:26:00::) is the correct choice because:
- It refers to the state of being alive/remaining alive
- "Survival time" measures the duration of this state
- The synonyms include "endurance" which relates to lasting through time
- The context is about how long patients lived (remained alive)

Sense 2 is clearly about evolution and doesn't fit.
Sense 3 refers to physical objects/relics and doesn't fit.

Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the lemma "time" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 - The text is about clinical studies measuring survival duration of patients with cancer (malignant pleural mesothelioma, non-small cell lung cancer).
 - The specific phrase is "survival time" and "average survival time".
 - The context discusses duration measured in months (12.1 months, 9.3 months, 8.3 months, 7.9 months, 10.3 months).
 - This refers to the duration/period that patients survived after treatment.

 Candidate senses analysis:
 1. time%1:11:00:: - "an instance or single occasion for some event" - examples like "this time he succeeded". Doesn't fit - we're talking about duration, not an occurrence.
 2. time%1:28:05:: - "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - examples about having time to do things. Doesn't fit - survival duration isn't a resource to be controlled here.
 3. time%1:28:00:: - "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - examples: "he waited a long time", "the time of year for planting". This fits well - "survival time" is a period marked by the activity of surviving.
 4. time%1:28:06:: - "a suitable moment" - example "it is time to go". Doesn't fit.
 5. time%1:03:00:: - "the continuum of experience..." - philosophical concept of time. Too abstract for this clinical measurement context.
 6. time%1:11:01:: - "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - examples about having a good time. Doesn't fit.
 7. time%1:28:03:: - "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - specific clock time. Doesn't fit - we're talking about duration, not a specific clock reading.
 8. time%1:28:04:: - "the fourth coordinate..." - physics concept. Doesn't fit.
 9. time%1:07:01:: - "rhythm..." - musical meter. Doesn't fit.
 10. time%1:28:01:: - "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - specifically about prison sentences. While this is a duration, it's too specific to imprisonment and doesn't apply to medical survival.

 Best match is sense 3: time%1:28:00:: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)".

 In the context, "survival time" refers to the period during which patients survived (the activity/attribute being survival), measured in months. This aligns with examples like "he waited a long time" (duration of waiting) and "the time of year for planting" (period marked by planting).

 Actually, let me reconsider. Is there a better sense?

 Sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - "survival time" is definitely a period marked by the attribute of survival.

 But wait, looking at the examples again:
 - "he waited a long time" - duration
 - "the time of year for planting" - period/season

 Medical "survival time" is the duration from a point (treatment start or diagnosis) until death or end of study. It's a period characterized by survival.

 Let me check if any other sense could fit better.

 Sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource..." - no, survival time isn't something you allocate or control like a resource.

 Sense 1: "an instance or single occasion" - no, it's not saying "this time they survived" but rather "the time [duration] they survived".

 So sense 3 (index 3 in the list) seems correct.

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=time%1:11:00::
 2. sense_key=time%1:28:05::
 3. sense_key=time%1:28:00::
 4. sense_key=time%1:28:06::
 5. sense_key=time%1:03:00::
 6. sense_key=time%1:11:01::
 7. sense_key=time%1:28:03::
 8. sense_key=time%1:28:04::
 9. sense_key=time%1:07:01::
 10. sense_key=time%1:28:01::

 So the index I want is 3.

 But let me double-check if "survival time" might be considered sense 10? No, sense 10 is specifically about prison terms.

 Could it be sense 7? No, that's clock time.

 Could it be sense 5 (the abstract continuum)? While survival time exists within the continuum of time, the specific usage here is referring to a specific duration/period, not the abstract concept of time itself.

 Sense 3 is definitely the best fit: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - here the attribute is survival (staying alive), and it's measured as a duration (8.3 months, etc.).

 Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully, sense 3 corresponds to:
 time%1:28:00:: - "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)"
 Examples: "he waited a long time"; "the time of year for planting"; "the President declared a time of war"

 Yes, "survival time" fits this pattern: a period marked by the attribute of survival.

 Therefore, the answer should be {"sense_index": 3}.

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "months" in the given context. The target lemma is "month" and the surface form is "months".

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about clinical studies measuring survival time of patients
- It mentions specific durations: "12.1 months", "9.3 months", "8.3 months", "7.9 months", "10.3 months"
- These are measurements of time duration/survival time
- The context is medical/scientific, discussing how long patients survived

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=month%1:28:01:: | definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | synonyms=calendar month | examples=he paid the bill last month
   - This sense refers to the named months (January, February, etc.) or the concept of a month as a division of the calendar year
   - Example "last month" refers to a specific calendar month (e.g., if today is March, "last month" is February)

2. sense_key=month%1:28:00:: | definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill
   - This sense refers to a duration of time, approximately 30 days
   - Example "a month to pay" refers to a duration, not a specific calendar month

In the context:
- "12.1 months" refers to a duration of time (approximately 12.1 × 30 days)
- It's measuring survival time, which is a duration
- It's not referring to specific calendar months like "January" or "February"
- It's comparing lengths of time: 12.1 months vs 9.3 months

Therefore, sense 2 (month%1:28:00::) is the correct choice because it refers to a time unit/duration of approximately 30 days, which matches the usage in the medical context where survival time is being measured as a duration.

Sense 1 would be used in contexts like "in the month of January" or "last month" (referring to a specific calendar month), but here we have "12.1 months" which is clearly a duration.

The index for sense 2 appears to be 2 (since the options are listed as 1 and 2).

Wait, let me check the format. The user wants:
{"sense_index": 3}

But I only have two senses listed: 1 and 2.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=month%1:28:01::
2. sense_key=month%1:28:00::

So the indices are 1 and 2. The correct one is 2.

But wait, I need to be careful. In WordNet, the sense keys encode the sense number. month%1:28:00:: would be sense 0 (or 1 depending on indexing), and month%1:28:01:: would be sense 1 (or 2).

Actually, looking at standard WordNet sense key format: lemma%pos:lex_filenum:lex_id:head_word:head_id

The lex_id field (the number after the second colon) usually indicates the sense number within the lexicographer file. But in the output, the user seems to want the index as presented in the list (1 or 2).

The user says "Choose the single best indexed sense" and provides them as:
1. sense_key=...
2. sense_key=...

So I should return the index from this list, which would be 2.

But let me double-check the senses:

Sense 1: "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" - this is the named month sense (January, February, etc.)
Sense 2: "a time unit of approximately 30 days" - this is the duration sense

In the context: "survived for an average of 12.1 months" - this is clearly a duration of time, not referring to specific calendar months. So sense 2 is correct.

Therefore: {"sense_index": 2}
