Which numbered sense of "dose" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin <t>dose</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
2. definition=the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time
3. definition=a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact
4. definition=street name for lysergic acid diethylamide

reasoning_content:
The user is asking me to identify which numbered sense of the word "dose" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

 Sentence: "When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin <t>dose</t>."

 The context is medical - specifically about administering medications (Alimta and cisplatin). The word "dose" here refers to the administration of cisplatin.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. "definition=a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
    - This refers to medicine taken (usually by a patient).
    - In the sentence, cisplatin is a medicine being given to a patient.
    - "the cisplatin dose" would refer to a measured portion of cisplatin being administered.

 2. "definition=the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"
    - This is broader and includes substances or radiation, not just medicine.
    - While cisplatin could be considered an active agent, sense 1 is more specific to medicine.

 3. "definition=a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact"
    - This is clearly a different meaning (slang for gonorrhea or similar).
    - Doesn't fit the medical context of administering chemotherapy drugs.

 4. "definition=street name for lysergic acid diethylamide"
    - This refers to LSD, a recreational drug.
    - Doesn't fit the context of cisplatin, which is a chemotherapy medication.

 Now, analyzing between sense 1 and sense 2:

 Sense 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
 Sense 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 The sentence is talking about cisplatin, which is a chemotherapy drug (medicine). The phrase "the cisplatin dose" refers to the measured portion of cisplatin being administered.

 However, I need to look carefully. Sense 1 says "taken" - which implies the patient is taking it. Sense 2 says "taken in or absorbed" - which could also apply.

 But looking at the exact wording:
 - "the cisplatin <t>dose</t>"
 - The context is about giving/administering the medication.

 Both senses 1 and 2 could potentially work, but let's look more carefully at the distinction.

 Sense 1 specifically mentions "medicine."
 Sense 2 mentions "active agent (substance or radiation)."

 Cisplatin is a medicine. It's a chemotherapy drug. So sense 1 seems most appropriate.

 However, I should consider if there's any subtlety. In medical contexts, "dose" can refer to the amount administered.

 Let me think about the exact definitions again:

 1. "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
 2. "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 The key difference is that sense 1 is specific to medicine and uses the word "taken" (which usually implies oral administration or patient taking it), while sense 2 is broader and includes any active agent.

 But wait - in the sentence, the medicines are "given" (administered by a healthcare provider). Cisplatin is typically given intravenously in a clinical setting, not "taken" by the patient in the sense of swallowing a pill.

 However, "taken" can also mean received or administered in a broader sense.

 Let me look at standard dictionary definitions. Usually, WordNet or similar lexical databases have these senses.

 Sense 1: dose (n) - a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 Sense 2: dose, dosage (n) - the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time

 Actually, looking at WordNet:
 - Sense 1: measured portion of medicine taken
 - Sense 2: quantity of active agent taken in or absorbed

 In medical contexts involving chemotherapy like cisplatin, both could apply. But cisplatin is a medicine, so sense 1 applies.

 However, looking at the exact wording of the question and the typical usage:

 The sentence says "the cisplatin dose" - referring to the administration of cisplatin.

 In pharmacology, "dose" refers to the quantity of a drug or medicine.

 Looking at the two definitions:
 1. Focuses on "medicine" and "taken"
 2. Focuses on "active agent" and "taken in or absorbed"

 Cisplatin is a medicine. So definition 1 fits.

 But let me double-check - could it be definition 2?

 Definition 2 mentions "active agent" which is a more technical term. Cisplatin is indeed an active agent. But it's also a medicine.

 However, looking at the context of the sentence, it says "anti-emetic medicine" and "fluids" and "cisplatin." Cisplatin is being referred to as a medicine in this context.

 Actually, looking at standard word sense disambiguation datasets (like from WordNet), the distinction is often:
 - Sense 1: a measured portion of medicine
 - Sense 2: the quantity of an active agent (includes radiation, chemicals, etc.)

 Since cisplatin is a medicine (a chemotherapy drug), sense 1 is the most accurate.

 But I want to be careful here. Let me think about whether cisplatin is being referred to as a medicine in this context.

 The sentence says: "When Alimta is given with cisplatin..."

 Alimta (pemetrexed) and cisplatin are both chemotherapy drugs (medicines).

 "the cisplatin dose" = the dose of cisplatin.

 Definition 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
 Definition 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 Hmm. Actually, looking at these definitions more carefully, I need to see which one is from WordNet or a similar source.

 These look like they might be from WordNet. Let me recall WordNet synsets for "dose":

 1. dose, dosage - a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 2. dose, dosage - the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time
 3. venereal disease, VD, venereal infection, social disease, Cupid's itch, Cupid's disease, Venus's curse, dose - a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact
 4. acid, back breaker, battery-acid, dose, dot, Elvis, loony toons, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, pane, superman, window pane, Zen - street name for lysergic acid diethylamide

 Wait, looking at these:
 - Sense 1 and 2 are both valid technical definitions.
 - Sense 1 is specifically about medicine.
 - Sense 2 is about any active agent (could be medicine, poison, radiation, etc.).

 In the sentence, cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug, which is a medicine. However, cisplatin is also a chemical substance/active agent.

 But the question is asking which numbered sense is used.

 Let me think about the specific context. The sentence is talking about medical treatment - specifically about administering cisplatin as part of cancer treatment.

 "the cisplatin dose" refers to the amount of cisplatin being administered.

 Now, looking at the exact wording of definition 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"

 And definition 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 In medical/pharmaceutical contexts, chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin are medicines. So definition 1 would apply.

 However, there's a subtle point: definition 1 says "taken" which often implies self-administration or oral administration, while definition 2 says "taken in or absorbed" which is more general and covers IV administration.

 But actually, looking at standard usage, "dose" in the context of chemotherapy is usually sense 1 or 2.

 Let me search my knowledge for similar examples.

 In WordNet, the examples might be:
 - dose: 1. "he took a dose of medicine"
 - dose: 2. "a dose of penicillin" or radiation dose

 Actually, looking at the glosses:

 WordNet 3.1:
 - dose, dosage (n) 1: a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 - dose, dosage (n) 2: the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time; "a lethal dose of radiation"; "a therapeutic dose"

 So:
 - Sense 1 is specifically about medicine portions.
 - Sense 2 is about active agents in general, including radiation.

 Cisplatin is a medicine. It is used as a drug. Therefore, sense 1 applies.

 However, I should consider: is there a reason to prefer sense 2?

 Sense 2 includes "substance" and cisplatin is a platinum-containing compound (a substance).
 But sense 1 says "medicine" and cisplatin is used as a medicine.

 The key is: in the context of the sentence, is cisplatin being referred to as a medicine or as an active agent?

 The sentence says: "When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine... and fluids... should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose."

 Cisplatin is listed alongside Alimta (another drug). The context is medical treatment. Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medication.

 I believe the answer is 1.

 But I want to double-check one more time.

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure, it says "the cisplatin dose."

 In pharmacology, when we say "the [drug name] dose," we are referring to the amount of that drug to be administered.

 Both senses could work, but sense 1 is more specific to medicine.

 Sense 2 is broader and includes things that aren't medicines (like radiation, poisons, or other chemicals).

 Since cisplatin is a medicine, sense 1 is the most appropriate.

 However, I just want to verify: are there any contexts where chemotherapy drugs are not considered "medicines" in the technical sense?

 No, chemotherapy drugs are definitely medicines - they're pharmaceutical drugs used to treat disease.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 But wait - I need to look at this more carefully. Let me read the sentence again.

 "When Alimta is given with cisplatin, an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose."

 The phrase "cisplatin dose" refers to the administration of cisplatin.

 Now, looking at the definitions provided:
 1. a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 2. the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time

 One thing to note: definition 1 says "taken" (which suggests the patient is taking it).
 Definition 2 says "taken in or absorbed" (which is more general).

 In the sentence, the drugs are "given" (passive voice, or administered by a healthcare provider).

 However, "taken" in definition 1 is part of the definition of the word "dose" - it doesn't necessarily mean the patient is the one actively taking it. It means the medicine is taken (received) by the patient.

 But actually, looking at WordNet examples:
 - dose#1: "he took a dose of medicine"
 - dose#2: "a dose of penicillin"; "a lethal dose of radiation"

 Hmm. Penicillin is a medicine, so why is it in sense 2?

 Let me look up the actual WordNet entries...

 In WordNet 3.0:

 dose#1: a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 dose#2: the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time

 Actually, looking at real WordNet data, penicillin would be under dose#1 because it's medicine.

 But let me think about the distinction more carefully.

 Actually, I found a key difference:
 - Sense 1: "measured portion of medicine"
 - Sense 2: "quantity of an active agent"

 The word "portion" vs "quantity" is interesting.

 But more importantly, looking at the hyponyms or usage:

 Sense 2 specifically mentions "radiation" and includes substances that may not be medicines.
 Sense 1 is specifically for medicine.

 Cisplatin is a medicine. It's a pharmaceutical drug.

 So the answer is 1.

 However, I want to make sure about one thing. In some medical contexts, "dose" when referring to chemotherapy might be classified as sense 2 because it's about the quantity of the active chemical agent.

 But no - chemotherapy drugs are medicines. They are drugs. They are pharmaceuticals.

 Let me check if there's any ambiguity in the word "medicine" itself.

 Medicine = a drug or other preparation used for the treatment or prevention of disease.

 Cisplatin is used for the treatment of cancer (disease). Therefore, it is a medicine.

 Thus, "a measured portion of medicine" applies.

 The answer is 1.

 Actually, I want to look at this from a different angle.

 The user is asking about a specific sense inventory. These look like WordNet senses.

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 1: dose, dosage -- (a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time)
 - Sense 2: dose, dosage -- (the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time)

 Examples for sense 2 include radiation, which is not a medicine.

 Cisplatin is a medicine.

 Also, looking at the sentence: it contrasts "anti-emetic medicine" with "cisplatin dose".

 Wait - the sentence says "an anti-emetic medicine... should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose."

 This suggests that cisplatin is also a medicine, but the text uses "dose" for cisplatin and "medicine" for the anti-emetic.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "an anti-emetic medicine (to prevent vomiting) and fluids (to prevent dehydration) should also be given before or after the cisplatin dose."

 So:
 - anti-emetic medicine
 - fluids
 - cisplatin dose

 The anti-emetic is explicitly called a "medicine."
 Cisplatin is modified by "dose."

 But cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug, which is a type of medicine.

 I think the answer is clearly 1.

 Let me also consider: could it be 2?

 Sense 2 says "active agent (substance or radiation)".
 Cisplatin is an active agent - it's a platinum-based compound that exerts a therapeutic effect.

 However, the definition says "taken in or absorbed."

 Both senses require the substance to be taken in/absorbed.

 The main distinction is:
 - Sense 1: specifically medicine
 - Sense 2: active agent (broader, includes non-medicinal substances and radiation)

 Since cisplatin IS a medicine, sense 1 is the more specific and appropriate definition.

 In word sense disambiguation, we generally choose the most specific sense that applies.

 Therefore: Answer = 1.

 Actually, I just realized something. Let me check the exact WordNet definitions one more time by thinking about standard WSD datasets.

 This looks like it might be from the WordSense or similar dataset.

 Looking at SemCor or other annotated corpora:
 - "dose of penicillin" -> usually sense 1
 - "dose of radiation" -> sense 2
 - "lethal dose" -> could be sense 2 (if referring to poison) or sense 1 (if referring to medicine overdose)

 Actually, "lethal dose" is often sense 2 because it refers to the quantity of a toxic substance.

 But cisplatin is a therapeutic medicine.

 Hmm.

 Let me think about this differently.

 The definition of sense 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 This covers:
 1. Medicines (as active agents)
 2. Poisons/toxins
 3. Radiation
 4. Any biologically active substance

 Definition of sense 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"

 This covers only medicines.

 Now, cisplatin is a medicine. But it is also an active agent.

 Which sense is correct?

 In lexicography, when a word has a general sense and a specific sense, and the specific sense applies, we choose the specific sense.

 Since cisplatin is a medicine, sense 1 applies specifically.

 However, I want to verify by looking at actual usage patterns.

 One more consideration: the word "medicine" in sense 1.

 Is cisplatin a medicine? Yes.
 Is it referred to as a medicine in this context?

 The text says "anti-emetic medicine" for the anti-nausea drug, and "cisplatin dose" for the chemotherapy.

 The fact that the anti-emetic is explicitly called "medicine" suggests that the author is distinguishing or using precise terminology.

 But wait - "anti-emetic medicine" is descriptive. It's saying what kind of medicine it is.

 For cisplatin, it just says "cisplatin dose" - using the proper name of the drug plus "dose."

 In medical writing, "drug dose" or "medication dose" is standard.

 I found a potential issue: Definition 1 says "taken" which might imply oral administration.
 Definition 2 says "taken in or absorbed" which is more general.

 Cisplatin is typically administered intravenously, not taken orally.

 However, "taken" in the definition doesn't necessarily mean "swallowed." It means "taken into the body."

 But let me check the exact wording again:

 1. "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
 2. "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 Definition 2 explicitly mentions "taken in or absorbed" which suggests it covers various routes of administration (oral, IV, topical, radiation exposure).
 Definition 1 just says "taken."

 In common parlance, IV drugs are not "taken" by the patient - they are "given" or "administered." The patient receives them.

 However, the definition says "taken," which could be interpreted as "taken into the body."

 But actually, looking at the WordNet gloss for sense 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"

 The word "taken" suggests the patient is the agent.

 For IV administration, the patient is not the agent - the healthcare provider is.

 But the medicine is still "taken" by the patient in the sense of being received.

 This is getting into very subtle distinctions.

 Let me look for actual annotated examples.

 In the SemCor corpus or similar, "dose" is annotated as follows:
 - "dose of medicine" -> sense 1
 - "radiation dose" -> sense 2
 - "took a dose" -> sense 1
 - "lethal dose" of poison -> sense 2

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0:

 The key distinction is:
 - Sense 1 is specifically the medical/pharmaceutical sense for medicines.
 - Sense 2 is the broader technical sense for any active agent, including radiation and chemicals.

 Now, here's an important point: Cisplatin is a chemotherapy agent. Chemotherapy drugs are often referred to as "agents" in medical literature.

 But they are also medicines.

 However, looking at the sentence: "the cisplatin dose"

 And comparing to typical usage:
 - "the penicillin dose" -> sense 1
 - "the radiation dose" -> sense 2

 Penicillin is a medicine.
 Radiation is not a medicine (though it is used medically).

 Cisplatin IS a medicine.

 Therefore: Sense 1.

 I think I've convinced myself. The answer is 1.

 Actually, one more check: are there any examples where "dose" of a specific drug name is sense 2?

 If the drug is considered an "active agent" rather than just a "medicine," it could be sense 2.

 But all medicines are active agents.

 The question is: why have two senses?

 Sense 1: Medicine specifically.
 Sense 2: Any active agent (including non-medicines like radiation, poison, or experimental chemicals).

 Since cisplatin is an FDA-approved drug used as a medicine, it falls under sense 1.

 Answer: 1.

 Actually, I want to check one more thing.

 Looking at the sentence: "before or after the cisplatin dose"

 This is a temporal reference - when to give the other medications relative to the cisplatin administration.

 Now, in pharmacology, we talk about "drug dosage" and "drug dose."

 Dosage is the regimen (how much, how often).
 Dose is the amount at one time.

 Both senses 1 and 2 capture this "amount at one time" concept.

 Sense 1: portion of medicine
 Sense 2: quantity of active agent

 Since cisplatin is a medicine, sense 1.

 I think the answer is definitely 1.

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "treatment" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "<t>Treatment</t> should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

 Let's analyze the sentence:
 - It talks about "Treatment" being delayed, discontinued, or dose reduced
 - It mentions "patients"
 - It mentions "blood counts" and "side effects"
 - This is clearly a medical context

 Now let's look at the senses:
 1. definition=care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)
 2. definition=the management of someone or something | examples=the handling of prisoners
 3. definition=a manner of dealing with something artistically | examples=his treatment of space borrows from Italian architecture
 4. definition=an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic | examples=the book contains an excellent discussion of modal logic

 The sentence is clearly about medical treatment - delaying or discontinuing medical care/procedures due to abnormal blood counts or side effects in patients. This matches sense 1 perfectly.

 Sense 2 is about management/handling (like handling prisoners), which doesn't fit.
 Sense 3 is about artistic treatment, which doesn't fit.
 Sense 4 is about communication/discussion, which doesn't fit.

 So the answer is 1.

4. definition=slow the growth or development of | examples=The brain damage will retard the child's language development

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "delay" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be <t>delayed</t> or discontinued, or the sense reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

 Let me analyze the meaning of "delay" in this context:
 - The sentence is about medical treatment
 - It says treatment should be "delayed" or "discontinued" or the dose "reduced"
 - This implies postponing the treatment to a later time, not proceeding with it as originally planned

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=cause to be slowed down or delayed | examples=Traffic was delayed by the bad weather
    - This is about causing something to slow down or be delayed (transitive, causative)
    - In the sentence, "delayed" is used in passive voice: "Treatment should be delayed"
    - But does this fit? Treatment being caused to be slowed down? Treatment itself isn't moving like traffic...

 2. definition=act later than planned, scheduled, or required | examples=Don't delay your application to graduate school or else it won't be considered
    - This means to postpone, to put off to a later time
    - "Don't delay your application" = don't postpone submitting your application
    - In the medical sentence: "Treatment should be delayed" = treatment should be postponed, put off to a later time
    - This seems to fit well.

 3. definition=stop or halt | examples=Please stay the bloodshed!
    - This seems wrong. "Stay" in the example means stop/halt, but "delay" doesn't mean stop or halt permanently. Delay means postponement, not cessation.

 4. definition=slow the growth or development of | examples=The brain damage will retard the child's language development
    - This is about slowing development or growth (retarding)
    - "Treatment should be delayed" doesn't mean treatment will slow the growth of something. It means the administration of treatment should be postponed.

 Comparing 1 and 2:
 - Sense 1: "cause to be slowed down or delayed" - this is about impeding progress (like traffic)
 - Sense 2: "act later than planned, scheduled, or required" - this is about postponing an action

 In the medical context, "treatment should be delayed" means the treatment should be postponed, not given at the scheduled time but moved to a later date. This matches sense 2.

 Actually, looking more carefully at sense 1: "cause to be slowed down or delayed" - this could apply to treatment being caused to be delayed (postponed). But sense 2 seems more specific to the act of postponing.

 Wait, let me reconsider the example for sense 1: "Traffic was delayed by the bad weather" - here traffic is being slowed down or impeded.

 Sense 2 example: "Don't delay your application..." - here delay means to postpone submitting the application.

 In "Treatment should be delayed", the meaning is clearly "Treatment should be postponed" (not given now but given later), which matches sense 2.

 However, I should check if sense 1 could also fit. If treatment is "delayed", it could mean the administration of treatment is being caused to happen later. But sense 2 is specifically about acting later than planned/scheduled, which is exactly what happens when you delay medical treatment - you reschedule it for later.

 Also, looking at the pattern: "delayed or discontinued" - discontinued means stopped, delayed means postponed. These are distinct actions.

 Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the exact wording of sense 1 vs sense 2.

 Sense 1: "cause to be slowed down or delayed"
 Sense 2: "act later than planned, scheduled, or required"

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions, "delay" often means:
 1. To make something happen at a later time than originally expected (transitive)
 2. To not act immediately (intransitive)

 But here the senses seem to be specific.

 Sense 1 example: Traffic was delayed... (passive, traffic is the thing being slowed/held back)
 Sense 2 example: Don't delay your application... (transitive, don't postpone your application)

 In the target sentence: "Treatment should be delayed" - passive voice.
 If it follows sense 1 pattern: Treatment should be caused to be slowed down or delayed... awkward.
 If it follows sense 2 pattern: Treatment should be acted on later than planned... this makes sense as "Treatment should be postponed".

 Actually, sense 2's definition says "act later than planned..." which is an intransitive or transitive meaning with the subject being the actor. In passive "Treatment should be delayed", it would mean the treatment should be the subject of the acting later? No, treatment doesn't act.

 Wait: "act later than planned" - who acts? The doctor? The administration?

 Let me parse: "Treatment should be delayed"
 - Subject: Treatment
 - Verb: should be delayed (passive)

 In passive constructions:
 - Sense 1: Treatment should be caused to be slowed down or delayed. This suggests treatment itself is being impeded or held back from starting.
 - Sense 2: Treatment should be acted upon later than planned... doesn't quite fit the wording of sense 2.

 Wait, I think I need to look at how WordNet or similar resources define these senses, as the format suggests this might be from WordNet or a similar lexical database.

 WordNet senses for "delay" (verb):
 1. delay, hold up (cause to be slowed down or delayed) - "Traffic was delayed by the bad weather"
 2. delay (act later than planned, scheduled, or required) - "Don't delay your application..."
 3. stay, detain, delay (stop or halt) - "Please stay the bloodshed"
 4. check, retard, delay (slow the growth or development of) - "The brain damage will retard..."

 Actually, looking at WordNet:
 - delay#1: cause to be slowed down or delayed. Example: "She delayed the work that she didn't want to perform"
 - delay#2: act later than planned, scheduled, or required. Example: "Don't delay your application to graduate school..."
 - delay#3: stop or halt. Example: "the peace talks were stalled"
 - delay#4: slow the growth or development of. Example: "The brain damage will retard..."

 Wait, I think sense 3 in the user's list corresponds to "stay" or "detain" in some dictionaries.

 But for the medical sentence: "Treatment should be delayed"

 If we use WordNet delay#1 (cause to be slowed down or delayed): Treatment should be caused to be slowed down. This doesn't quite fit because treatment isn't a process that is moving and gets slowed. Treatment is an intervention that happens at a point in time.

 If we use WordNet delay#2 (act later than planned...): In passive, "Treatment should be delayed" would mean the treatment should be the object of the delaying action - i.e., someone should delay the treatment. The definition "act later than planned" applies to the agent (the doctor), but in passive, the treatment is what's being delayed.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet entry for delay#2:
 Sense 2: delay (act later than planned, scheduled, or required)
 Example: "Don't delay your application to graduate school or else it won't be considered"
 Here, "delay" is transitive - you delay the application. You cause the application to be acted upon later.

 So delay#2 is actually transitive too? "Don't delay your application" = don't cause your application to be submitted later.

 So delay#1: cause to be slowed down or delayed (impeded in progress)
 delay#2: cause to happen at a later time (postpone)

 In the medical sentence: "Treatment should be delayed" clearly means "Treatment should be postponed", which is sense 2.

 Sense 1 would be more like "Treatment was delayed by the paperwork" where the treatment is an ongoing process that gets slowed down. But medical treatment can be an event or a process.

 However, "delayed or discontinued" suggests that "delayed" means temporarily stopped/postponed, while "discontinued" means permanently stopped. This contrast strongly suggests sense 2 (postponed) rather than sense 1 (slowed down).

 Also, "or the dose reduced" - this suggests temporal or quantitative modification. Discontinued (stop), delayed (postpone), reduced (lessen).

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

 Let me double-check sense 4: "slow the growth or development of" - this would be "The treatment will delay the tumor's growth" - treatment is the agent causing the delay in growth. But in our sentence, treatment is the thing being delayed, not doing the delaying.

 So sense 2 is definitely correct.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or <t>discontinued</t>, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

 The word "discontinued" here refers to stopping the treatment (medical treatment).

 Let me look at the three senses:

 1. definition=put an end to a state or an activity | examples=Quit teasing your little brother
    - This is an active sense where someone intentionally stops something. "Quit teasing" implies the agent stops the activity.

 2. definition=come to or be at an end | examples=the support from our sponsoring agency will discontinue after March 31
    - This is more intransitive or passive - something comes to an end on its own or as a natural consequence. The example shows "support will discontinue" - the support itself comes to an end.

 3. definition=prevent completion | examples=stop the project
    - This implies interrupting something before it's finished, preventing it from being completed.

 In the medical sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued..."
 - Here, the treatment is intentionally stopped by medical personnel (doctors).
 - This is an active decision to put an end to the treatment.
 - It matches sense 1: "put an end to a state or an activity"

 Sense 2 suggests something ending on its own or naturally concluding: "the support... will discontinue" - but treatment isn't typically described as "discontinuing" on its own in this context; it's a decision made by doctors to stop administering it.

 Sense 3 is about preventing completion, which doesn't fit well with ongoing medical treatment (which doesn't have a "completion" in the same sense as a project).

 Actually, looking more carefully:
 - Sense 1 seems to be the transitive use: someone discontinues something (puts an end to it).
 - Sense 2 seems to be the intransitive use: something discontinues (comes to an end).

 In the sentence "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued", "discontinued" is passive voice (or perhaps adjectival), but implies that someone (the medical staff) should discontinue the treatment. This is the transitive use - putting an end to the treatment.

 So the answer should be 1.

 Wait, let me reconsider Sense 2. The example "the support from our sponsoring agency will discontinue after March 31" - here "discontinue" is used intransitively (the support will come to an end). But in the medical sentence, "treatment... discontinued" - this is passive voice of the transitive verb. The treatment is being discontinued (by doctors).

 Sense 1: "put an end to a state or an activity" - this fits "discontinue treatment" (put an end to the treatment).

 Sense 3: "prevent completion" - this doesn't fit because medical treatment isn't necessarily about "completing" something in the way a project is.

 So the answer is 1.

 Actually, I should check if these sense definitions correspond to a specific dictionary. They look like they might be from WordNet or similar.

 In WordNet:
 - discontinue (v.) sense 1: put an end to a state or an activity; "cease to do"; "quit teasing your little brother"
 - discontinue (v.) sense 2: come to or be at an end; "the support from our sponsoring agency will discontinue after March 31"
 - discontinue (v.) sense 3: prevent completion; "break off"; "stop the project"

 In the sentence, "Treatment should be ... discontinued" - this is clearly sense 1 (transitive - stopping the treatment). The subject who discontinues is implied (doctors/medical staff), and the object is the treatment.

 Sense 2 is intransitive.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "dose" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the <t>dose</t> reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

 The word "dose" here is referring to the amount of medicine/treatment that should be reduced.

 Let's look at the senses:
 1. definition=a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 2. definition=the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time
 3. definition=a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact (this is clearly wrong - that's a definition for something like an STD or specific disease)
 4. definition=street name for lysergic acid diethylamide (that's LSD)

 Now, sense 1 and 2 are both plausible. Let me think about the subtle differences.

 Sense 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
 Sense 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 The sentence is talking about medical treatment and reducing the "dose" for patients with abnormal blood counts or side effects. This is a medical context.

 In medical/pharmaceutical contexts, "dose" often refers to the amount of medication administered.

 Sense 1 emphasizes "medicine" and "taken at any one time" (which could imply a single administration).
 Sense 2 emphasizes "active agent" and includes "radiation" and "absorbed".

 However, looking at the sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced..."

 This is clearly referring to the amount of medication being administered to the patient.

 But I need to determine if it's sense 1 or 2. Let me think about the distinction.

 Sense 1: "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time"
 Sense 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions (like WordNet or similar), these might be distinct senses. But in this context, both could apply.

 However, sense 2 is broader and includes radiation and substances, while sense 1 is specifically about medicine.

 The sentence mentions "Treatment" and "blood counts" and "side effects" - this is clearly a medical/pharmaceutical context involving medicine.

 But wait, let me reconsider. The sentence says "the dose reduced" - this is about adjusting the amount of medication given.

 In many lexical semantic datasets (like WordNet), sense 1 is typically the specific medicinal sense, while sense 2 is broader and includes things like radiation dosage, chemical dosage, etc.

 Actually, looking at the definitions again:
 1. medicine specifically
 2. active agent/substance/radiation

 The sentence is about medical treatment. It could be sense 1.

 But let me think about the exact wording. The sentence mentions "blood counts" which suggests chemotherapy or similar treatment where the "dose" might be of a cytotoxic agent. But it could also be any medicine.

 However, sense 1 says "medicine" and sense 2 says "active agent (substance or radiation)".

 In the context of the sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced..."

 This is standard medical language. When doctors talk about reducing the "dose", they are usually referring to sense 1 or 2.

 But which one is it? Let me think about the source of these senses. They look like they might be from WordNet.

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 1: dose, dosage -- (a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time)
 - Sense 2: dose, dosage -- (the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time)

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0 or 3.1:
 WordNet has:
 1. dose, dosage -- (a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time)
 2. dose, dosage -- (the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time)

 The difference is subtle. Sense 1 is specifically about medicine. Sense 2 is about any active agent including radiation.

 In the given sentence, it says "Treatment" which could be medicine or radiation therapy. But the mention of "blood counts" and "side effects" is very typical of chemotherapy or drug treatment.

 However, I need to be careful. The word "medicine" in sense 1 vs "active agent" in sense 2.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced..."

 This is a general medical statement. It could apply to drugs or radiation.

 But sense 1 is specifically defined as "medicine". Sense 2 includes "substance or radiation".

 If the treatment is radiation, then it would be sense 2. If it's medicine, it could be sense 1.

 However, in many lexical sample tasks, the distinction is that sense 1 is the common "pill" meaning - a portion of medicine, while sense 2 is the technical measurement of an active agent.

 Wait, I should look at the exact wording of the definitions provided:
 1. definition=a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 2. definition=the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time

 The key difference is:
 - Sense 1: medicine, portion, taken
 - Sense 2: active agent/substance/radiation, quantity, taken in or absorbed

 In the sentence: "the dose reduced" - this is referring to the amount of treatment.

 But here's the thing: in medical contexts involving blood counts and side effects, this is almost certainly referring to medication (chemotherapy or other drugs).

 However, sense 2 is actually the more technical definition that would be used in medical contexts for drugs as well, because drugs are "active agents" or "substances".

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet examples:
 For sense 1: "he took a dose of medicine"
 For sense 2: "the dose is lethal" or similar

 But let me think about this more carefully.

 Sense 1 emphasizes "medicine" as a complete formulation.
 Sense 2 emphasizes the "active agent" - the chemical component.

 In pharmacology, "dose" refers to the amount of drug administered.

 But looking at the specific definitions given, sense 1 says "medicine" and sense 2 says "active agent (substance or radiation)".

 The sentence mentions "Treatment" which is general. But "blood counts" suggests hematological monitoring, which is typical for chemotherapy drugs.

 However, I think the answer is likely sense 1 or 2. Let me see if there's a way to distinguish.

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "the dose reduced" - this is a noun phrase where "dose" is the object of "reduced".

 In medical writing, when we say "reduce the dose", we are referring to the amount of medication.

 But here's a crucial point: sense 3 is clearly "gonorrhea" or similar (archaic slang), and sense 4 is LSD.

 So it's between 1 and 2.

 Let me think about the context clues. The sentence mentions:
 - Treatment
 - blood counts
 - side effects

 This is clearly a medical/pharmaceutical context.

 Now, in WordNet, sense 1 is specifically about medicine. Sense 2 is broader and includes radiation.

 But actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
 Both are under the same hypernym probably.

 Wait, I recall that in some versions of WordNet or similar resources:
 - Sense 1: the amount of medicine
 - Sense 2: the amount of active ingredient

 But in the sentence, it just says "dose" without specifying whether it's the medicine or the active agent.

 However, in common medical usage, when we say "reduce the dose", we are using sense 1 or 2.

 Let me try a different approach. The definitions provided are:
 1. a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time
 2. the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time

 The phrase "taken at any one time" vs "taken in or absorbed at any one time".

 In the sentence: "Treatment should be... the dose reduced"

 The patient is receiving treatment. The dose is being reduced.

 If this is about radiation therapy, it would be sense 2.
 If this is about taking pills, it could be sense 1.

 But "blood counts" monitoring is very typical of chemotherapy (cancer treatment), where "dose" refers to the amount of chemotherapeutic agent.

 In oncology, "dose" can refer to the amount of radiation or the amount of drug.

 However, looking at the exact wording of sense 1: "medicine". Chemotherapy drugs are medicines.

 But sense 2 includes "substance" which would cover drugs too.

 Actually, I think the distinction is:
 - Sense 1: the patient takes a dose (self-administered or administered) of medicine
 - Sense 2: the quantity of the active component

 But in modern medical English, "dose" in the context of "reducing the dose due to side effects" is sense 1 or 2.

 Let me look for clues in the wording "taken at any one time" vs "taken in or absorbed at any one time".

 The sentence doesn't specify "taken" or "absorbed". It just says the dose should be reduced.

 However, I notice that sense 1 uses "portion" while sense 2 uses "quantity".

 In the context of the sentence, "dose" is something that can be reduced. Both a portion and a quantity can be reduced.

 But I think the key distinction is that sense 1 is specifically about medicine (pharmaceuticals), while sense 2 is about any active agent including radiation and chemicals.

 Given that the sentence mentions "blood counts", this is most likely referring to chemotherapy or similar drugs that affect bone marrow. Chemotherapy drugs are medicines, so sense 1 would apply.

 However, chemotherapy dosing is often discussed in terms of the active agent (mg/m² of body surface area), which might suggest sense 2.

 But wait - I should consider whether this is from a specific lexical database like WordNet, and what the actual distinctions are.

 In WordNet 3.0:
 Sense 1: dose, dosage -- (a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time)
 Sense 2: dose, dosage -- (the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time)

 Examples for sense 2 include things like radiation dosage.

 The sentence mentions "Treatment" which is a general term, but "blood counts" is specific to hematological effects.

 Actually, I just realized something. Sense 3 is "a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact" - that's the slang term "dose" meaning gonorrhea or venereal disease.

 Sense 4 is LSD.

 So the sentence is definitely using either sense 1 or 2.

 Now, looking at the sentence again: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced..."

 This is clearly about the amount of therapeutic agent being administered.

 In standard lexical semantics tasks (like SemEval or similar), the sense of "dose" in medical contexts referring to medication is usually sense 1.

 But let me double-check the distinction.

 Sense 1: "medicine" - this is the commercial/preparations sense.
 Sense 2: "active agent" - this is the chemical/radiation sense.

 For example:
 - "Take a dose of cough syrup" -> Sense 1
 - "A lethal dose of radiation" -> Sense 2
 - "The drug dose was 50mg" -> Could be either, but usually sense 1 in patient contexts, sense 2 in pharmacological contexts.

 The sentence uses medical terminology: "blood counts", "side effects", "treatment".

 This looks like it could be from a medical textbook or drug label.

 In drug labels, when they say "reduce the dose", they are referring to sense 1 (the amount of medicine) or sense 2 (the amount of active ingredient).

 But I think the answer is 1.

 Wait, I want to reconsider. The definition of sense 2 includes "substance or radiation". Medicine is a substance. So sense 2 technically covers medicine too.

 But sense 1 is specific to medicine.

 Usually, in word sense disambiguation, the more specific sense is preferred when applicable.

 Since this is about medical treatment and medicine (implied by "treatment" and "side effects"), sense 1 is the most appropriate.

 However, there's another consideration. The phrase "taken at any one time" in sense 1 suggests a discrete administration (like a pill). Sense 2 has "taken in or absorbed" which is more general.

 The sentence doesn't specify the route of administration.

 But "blood counts" suggests a systemic effect, which could be from oral or IV medication.

 I think I need to go with sense 1, as it is the standard sense for medical dosage of drugs.

 Actually, let me reconsider one more time. Is there any possibility this is sense 2?

 Sense 2 explicitly mentions "radiation". Could this be about radiation therapy?

 In radiation therapy, we do monitor blood counts (radiation can cause myelosuppression), and we do adjust the dose.

 However, radiation doses are usually measured in Gray (Gy) or rad, and we say "radiation dose".

 But the sentence says "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued". Radiation treatment can be delayed or discontinued.

 And "blood counts are abnormal" - radiation therapy can cause low blood counts.

 So this could be radiation therapy, in which case sense 2 would be correct because sense 1 specifies "medicine" and radiation is not medicine (it's radiation).

 But radiation therapy is a medical treatment...

 Hmm, sense 1 says "medicine". Is radiation considered medicine? Not really. Medicine usually implies a substance or drug.

 So if this is radiation therapy, it must be sense 2.

 If this is chemotherapy (drugs), it could be sense 1 or 2, but sense 1 is more specific.

 However, looking at the definition of sense 2: "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation)..."

 This explicitly includes radiation.

 Sense 1: "medicine"

 Medicine is typically defined as a substance used in treatment, not energy/radiation.

 So:
 - If the treatment is radiation -> sense 2
 - If the treatment is drugs -> sense 1 or 2

 But given that sense 2 explicitly mentions radiation, and sense 1 is restricted to medicine, and the context could be either, but sense 2 is the broader definition that includes medical substances as "active agents"...

 Actually, drugs are "active agents" or "substances". So drugs fall under sense 2 as well.

 But sense 1 is specifically about medicine.

 In WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation), the rule is usually: if the specific sense applies, use it; otherwise use the general sense.

 Medicine is a specific type of active agent/substance.

 So if it's a drug, sense 1 applies.
 If it's radiation, sense 2 applies (and sense 1 does not).

 Since the sentence doesn't specify whether it's drugs or radiation, but mentions "side effects" and "blood counts", both are possible.

 However, "side effects" is more commonly used with drugs than radiation, though radiation has side effects too.

 "Blood counts" abnormalities occur with both chemotherapy and radiation.

 But I think the safest answer is sense 1, as it is the primary sense for medical treatment with drugs.

 Wait, I just realized - I should look at whether "dose" in this context is countable/uncountable or specific.

 The sentence says "the dose" - singular.

 Both senses can be singular.

 Let me try to find this exact sentence or similar sentences to see which sense is intended.

 The sentence looks like it might be from a pharmacology or medical context.

 Actually, looking at the wording: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced"

 This is very standard language for drug prescribing information (labels).

 For example, from FDA drug labels: "The dose should be reduced in patients with..."

 In drug labels, "dose" refers to the amount of drug product, which is sense 1.

 But technically, the drug product contains the active agent, so it could be sense 2.

 However, I found a key distinction in the definitions:
 Sense 1: "taken at any one time"
 Sense 2: "taken in or absorbed at any one time"

 The phrase "taken at any one time" suggests oral administration or administration at a specific time.
 "taken in or absorbed" suggests the process of absorption, which is more technical.

 In the sentence, there's no mention of "taken" or "absorbed". It's just "the dose reduced".

 But the context of the definitions might help.

 Actually, I think the answer is 1.

 Let me reconsider sense 2 one more time. Sense 2 mentions "radiation". If the sentence were about radiation, it would likely mention radiation explicitly or context would make it clear. The general term "Treatment" and "blood counts" is more suggestive of chemotherapy (drugs) than radiation, or could be either.

 But sense 1 is the more common sense.

 Also, looking at the other senses:
 3. STD (gonorrhea)
 4. LSD

 These are slang senses.

 In a formal medical sentence like this, it's either 1 or 2.

 I think the answer is 1.

 But I'm not entirely sure. Let me think about whether there's any clue that makes it definitely sense 2.

 The phrase "active agent" in sense 2 is very technical.
 The phrase "medicine" in sense 1 is more common.

 The sentence uses technical language: "blood counts", "side effects", "abnormal".

 This could go either way.

 But here's a deciding factor: in WordNet, sense 1 is the first sense, which is usually the most common. In the absence of specific evidence for sense 2 (like mention of radiation), sense 1 is the default for medical contexts involving drugs.

 Also, "medicine" is a hyponym of "active agent" or "substance". Since sense 1 is more specific and applies to drugs, and this is clearly a medical context involving drugs (implied by "treatment" and "side effects"), sense 1 is correct.

 One more thing: the definition of sense 1 says "taken at any one time". This implies discrete administration.
 Sense 2 says "taken in or absorbed", which could be continuous or discrete.

 But both fit.

 I think I'll go with 1.

 Actually, wait. I want to check if "dose" in the context of "reducing dose" in patients with low blood counts is more likely to be sense 1 or 2.

 In oncology, we distinguish between:
 - Drug dose (amount of drug)
 - Radiation dose

 For drugs, we use "dose" in sense 1 primarily.

 For example, "The starting dose is 50mg" - this is sense 1.

 Sense 2 is used when emphasizing the pharmacological amount, like "absorbed dose" or "radiation dose".

 Given the sentence structure and the fact that it's talking about a medical treatment plan where the dose can be reduced, and given the alternatives are slang meanings, the answer is 1.

 Final answer: 1

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "reduce" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose <t>reduced</t>, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

 The word "reduced" here refers to decreasing the amount of medication/dose given to patients.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. definition=cut down on; make a reduction in | examples=reduce your daily fat intake
 2. definition=make less complex
 3. definition=bring to humbler or weaker state or condition
 4. definition=simplify the form of a mathematical equation

 18. definition=cook until very little liquid is left
 19. definition=lessen the strength or flavor of a solution
 20. definition=take off weight

 The sentence is about reducing a "dose" of medication. This means making the dose smaller or decreasing the amount.

 Sense 1: "cut down on; make a reduction in" - This fits. Reducing the dose means making a reduction in the dose.
 Sense 7: "reduce in size; reduce physically" - This could fit, but "dose" is more about amount/quantity than physical size.
 Sense 8: "lessen and make more modest" - "Lessen" fits, but "make more modest" doesn't quite fit a dose.
 Sense 9: "make smaller" - This fits well. Making the dose smaller.
 Sense 11: "narrow or limit" - Not quite right for a dose.
 Sense 19: "lessen the strength or flavor of a solution" - This is about diluting, not necessarily reducing the dose amount.

 Actually, looking closely at sense 1: "cut down on; make a reduction in" - this seems like a general definition that would cover reducing a dose.

 Sense 9: "make smaller" - also fits.

 But let's look at the examples:
 Sense 1 example: "reduce your daily fat intake" - this is about reducing intake/amount.
 Sense 9 example: "reduce an image" - this is about making physically smaller (like resizing a photo).

 The dose is an amount/quantity, not necessarily a physical size (though it could be). But in medical contexts, "reduce the dose" means to decrease the amount of medication given.

 Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "cut down on; make a reduction in"

 However, I should also consider sense 8: "lessen and make more modest" - example "reduce one's standard of living". This is about decreasing.

 But "make a reduction in" (sense 1) seems the most direct match for reducing a dose.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 9: "make smaller". In medical terminology, when you reduce a dose, you are making the quantity smaller.

 But sense 1 "make a reduction in" is more general and covers quantitative reduction.

 Actually, looking at sense 19: "lessen the strength or flavor of a solution or mixture" - this is specifically about solutions and strength. While medicine is often a solution, "reduce the dose" typically means reduce the amount (volume or mass), not necessarily dilute it (though it could mean that). But the example "cut bourbon" suggests dilution.

 Let me look at sense 1 again. The example is "reduce your daily fat intake" - this is about consumption amount.

 Reducing a dose is about decreasing the amount administered.

 Between sense 1, 7, 8, 9, and possibly 19.

 Sense 7: "reduce in size; reduce physically" - example "Hot water will shrink the sweater". This is physical shrinkage.
 Sense 9: "make smaller" - example "reduce an image". This is also physical/size.

 Sense 1: "cut down on; make a reduction in" - example "reduce your daily fat intake". This is about quantity/consumption.

 Sense 8: "lessen and make more modest" - example "reduce one's standard of living". This is about degree/extent.

 Sense 11: "narrow or limit" - example "reduce the influx of foreigners". This is about limiting flow.

 For a "dose", which is a measured amount of medicine, "make a reduction in" (sense 1) or "make smaller" (sense 9) could work.

 But "make smaller" (sense 9) with the example "reduce an image" suggests spatial reduction (like photocopying reduction).

 "Cut down on; make a reduction in" (sense 1) with the example "reduce your daily fat intake" suggests quantitative reduction, which is exactly what reducing a dose is.

 Therefore, sense 1 seems correct.

 Wait, I should check if there's a more specific sense. Sense 19 is about lessening strength of a solution. While medicine is a solution, "dose" refers to the amount given, not necessarily the concentration. You can reduce a dose by giving less volume of the same concentration, or by diluting. But typically "reduce the dose" means give less amount.

 Actually, looking at medical dictionaries, to "reduce a dose" means to decrease the amount or size of the dose.

 Sense 1: "cut down on; make a reduction in" - This is the general sense.
 Sense 9: "make smaller" - This is also general.

 But looking at the examples provided:
 Sense 1: "reduce your daily fat intake" - quantitative
 Sense 9: "reduce an image" - spatial/size

 A dose is quantitative (amount), not spatial. So sense 1 is better than sense 9.

 What about sense 8? "lessen and make more modest" - "reduce one's standard of living". This is about decreasing quality/extent.

 What about sense 11? "narrow or limit" - "reduce the influx". This is about restricting flow.

 Sense 1 seems the best fit.

 But let me double-check sense 19. "lessen the strength or flavor of a solution or mixture". If you reduce a dose, you might be reducing the strength, but usually you're reducing the quantity. However, in some contexts, "reduce" can mean dilute. But the example "cut bourbon" clearly means dilution. "Reduce the dose" is not typically used to mean dilute the medicine (you'd say "dilute" or "reduce the concentration"), you'd say "reduce the dose" to mean give less.

 So sense 1 is the answer.

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this seems to be based on), sense 1 is usually the most general "decrease, lessen, diminish" sense.

 The sentence: "the dose reduced" - this is clearly making the dose smaller in amount.

 I think the answer is 1.

 But wait, I should look at sense 9 again. "make smaller". Is there a distinction between "make smaller" and "cut down on"?

 In WordNet:
 reduce (v) 1: cut down on; make a reduction in; "reduce your daily fat intake"
 reduce (v) 2: make less complex; ...
 ...
 reduce (v) 7: reduce in size; reduce physically; "Hot water will shrink the sweater"
 ...
 reduce (v) 9: make smaller; "reduce an image"

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet senses:
 1. reduce, cut down, cut back, trim, trim down, trim back, cut, bring down -- (cut down on; make a reduction in; "reduce your daily fat intake")
 ...
 7. shrink, reduce -- (reduce in size; reduce physically; "Hot water will shrink the sweater")
 ...
 9. reduce, scale down -- (make smaller; "reduce an image")

 Sense 1 is about reducing in amount/degree.
 Sense 7 is about reducing in physical size (shrinking).
 Sense 9 is about making smaller (often used for images/scaling).

 For a "dose", we are talking about the amount/quantity of medication. This aligns with sense 1 (cut down on; make a reduction in).

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 Let me reconsider if any other sense fits better.
 Sense 8: reduce, deoxidize, deoxidise -- (add hydrogen to; remove oxygen from; chemically reduce) - No, that's sense 10 in the list provided.
 Sense 10 in the list: "to remove oxygen from a compound..." - that's chemical reduction.

 Sense 17/18 are cooking senses (reducing a sauce).

 Sense 20: "take off weight" - "reduce, melt off, lose weight, slim, slenderize, thin, slim down" - This is specific to losing weight.

 So yes, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Which numbered sense of "patient" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in <t>patients</t> whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
2. definition=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

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "patient" is used in the given sentence. The word is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in <t>patients</t> whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

 Senses:
 1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
 2. definition=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

 Let me analyze the sentence. The sentence is talking about medical treatment - delaying or discontinuing treatment, or reducing the dose. It mentions "patients whose blood counts are abnormal" - this clearly refers to people receiving medical care/treatment.

 Sense 1 is the common noun meaning "a person who requires medical care" or "a person receiving medical treatment."

 Sense 2 is a linguistic/semantic term referring to the semantic role in a sentence (like "patient" as opposed to "agent" in grammar). This is a technical linguistic sense where "patient" means the entity that undergoes the action of the verb.

 In the given sentence, "patients" refers to actual human beings who are receiving medical treatment. The context is clearly medical - talking about blood counts, side effects, treatment doses. This matches sense 1.

 Sense 2 would be used in a linguistic context, for example: "In the sentence 'John broke the window,' the window is the patient of the verb 'broke.'"

 So the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "blood_count" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose <t>blood counts</t> are abnormal or who have certain other side effects.

Senses:
1. definition=the number of red and white corpuscles in a blood sample
2. definition=the act of estimating the number of red and white corpuscles in a blood sample

The user wants me to identify which sense of "blood_count" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose <t>blood counts</t> are abnormal or who have certain other side effects."

The two senses are:
1. definition=the number of red and white corpuscles in a blood sample
2. definition=the act of estimating the number of red and white corpuscles in a blood sample

Let me analyze the sentence. The phrase is "blood counts are abnormal".

If we look at sense 1, it refers to the actual number/count of blood cells. So if blood counts are abnormal, it means the numbers are abnormal (too high or too low).

If we look at sense 2, it refers to the act of estimating/counting. So "blood counts are abnormal" would mean the act of estimating is abnormal, which doesn't make sense in this medical context.

In medical contexts, when we say "blood counts are abnormal", we mean the results of the blood count - i.e., the numbers of cells are abnormal. We don't mean that the procedure of counting is abnormal.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

The sentence is talking about patients whose blood counts (the numbers) are abnormal, which would indicate conditions like anemia, leukopenia, etc., requiring adjustment of treatment.

So the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "abnormal" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are <t>abnormal</t> or who have certain other side effects.

Senses:
1. definition=not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm | examples=abnormal powers of concentration
2. definition=departing from the normal in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=they were heartbroken when they learned their child was abnormal
3. definition=much greater than the normal | examples=abnormal profits

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "abnormal" is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are <t>abnormal</t> or who have certain other side effects."

Senses:
1. not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm | examples=abnormal powers of concentration
2. departing from the normal in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=they were heartbroken when they learned their child was abnormal
3. much greater than the normal | examples=abnormal profits

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is talking about blood counts being abnormal in a medical context. Blood counts that are abnormal means they are not within the normal/typical range. This could mean too high or too low - essentially not normal.

Sense 1: "not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm" - This fits perfectly. Blood counts that don't conform to the normal range.

Sense 2: This is specifically about intelligence and development (e.g., abnormal child). Not relevant here.

Sense 3: "much greater than the normal" - This implies only higher than normal, but abnormal blood counts could be either higher or lower than normal. Also, the example "abnormal profits" suggests excessive amounts. In medical contexts, "abnormal" usually means outside the normal range (either direction), not specifically "much greater."

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Wait, let me double-check. The sentence says "blood counts are abnormal." In medical terminology, this means deviating from the normal range. Sense 1 covers "not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm." Sense 3 is specifically "much greater than the normal" which is too narrow.

So the answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "have" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who <t>have</t> certain other side effects."

 The word "have" here is used in the context of patients experiencing or suffering from side effects.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. "have or possess" - This is general possession. Not quite right for side effects.
 2. "have as a feature" - No, patients don't feature side effects.
 3. "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" - This could be close, but let's check others.
 4. "have ownership or possession of" - No, you don't own side effects.
 5. "cause to move..." - No.
 6. "serve oneself to..." - No.
 7. "have a personal or business relationship" - No.
 8. "organize or be responsible for" - No.
 9. "have left" - No.
 10. "be confronted with" - This could work, but let's check others.
 11. "undergo" - This could work for side effects.
 12. "suffer from; be ill with" - This seems very close. "She has arthritis" is the example, and having side effects is similar to having a medical condition.
 13. "cause to do..." - No.
 14. "receive willingly..." - No.
 15. "get something..." - No.
 16. "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" - This is also close. "She suffered a fracture" - but the definition says "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)".
 17. "achieve a point or goal" - No.
 18. "cause to be born" - No.
 19. "have sex with" - No.

 Now between 11, 12, and 16:

 Sense 11: "undergo" - examples: "The stocks had a fast run-up"
 Sense 12: "suffer from; be ill with" - examples: "She has arthritis"
 Sense 16: "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" - examples: "She suffered a fracture in the accident"

 The sentence says patients "have certain other side effects". Side effects are typically medical conditions or symptoms that patients experience or suffer from.

 Sense 12 specifically mentions "suffer from; be ill with" and gives the example "She has arthritis". Having side effects is very similar to having arthritis or an illness.

 Sense 16 uses "undergo" but the example uses "suffered" (not "had"), and it's specifically about injuries and illnesses. But the word "have" in the sentence is being used to mean they are experiencing/suffering from side effects.

 Actually, looking carefully at sense 16: "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" - example: "She suffered a fracture". This sense seems to be defined as "undergo" but the example uses "suffered". However, the definition says "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)".

 But sense 12 is "suffer from; be ill with" with example "She has arthritis".

 In medical contexts, when we say patients "have side effects", we mean they are suffering from or experiencing those side effects.

 Sense 12 seems the most appropriate: "suffer from; be ill with".

 Let me double-check sense 3: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" - example "get an idea". This is more about experiencing a state, but "have side effects" is more specific to medical suffering.

 Sense 11: "undergo" - example "The stocks had a fast run-up". This is more general.

 Sense 16: "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" - this is also close, but the example uses "suffered" not "had". Wait, the example for 16 is "She suffered a fracture in the accident" - this suggests that sense 16 might be about the verb "suffer" rather than "have"? No, looking at the format, these are all senses of "have". So sense 16 means "have = undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)".

 But sense 12 is "have = suffer from; be ill with".

 Between 12 and 16:
 - 12: suffer from; be ill with (example: She has arthritis)
 - 16: undergo (as of injuries and illnesses) (example: She suffered a fracture...)

 Actually, looking at the example for 16: "She suffered a fracture in the accident" - this doesn't use the word "had", whereas example for 12 uses "has": "She has arthritis".

 Also, "have side effects" is very similar to "have arthritis" - both are medical conditions that a patient possesses/suffers from.

 Sense 12 seems the best fit.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense". Could side effects be abstract possessions? Maybe, but sense 12 is more specific to medical conditions.

 Sense 12: "suffer from; be ill with" - this captures the meaning of experiencing negative medical symptoms.

 Therefore, the answer should be 12.

Which numbered sense of "certain" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have <t>certain</t> other side effects.

Senses:

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "certain" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have <t>certain</t> other side effects."

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is talking about medical treatment guidelines
 - It mentions patients with abnormal blood counts OR patients who have "certain" other side effects
 - The word "certain" here is modifying "other side effects"
 - It means some specific but unspecified side effects - not all side effects, but particular ones that are definite but not named individually

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=definite but not specified or identified | examples=set aside a certain sum each week
    - This fits! "A certain sum" means some specific amount but not specified. Similarly, "certain other side effects" means some specific side effects but not named.

 2. definition=having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured | examples=felt certain of success
    - This is about being confident or sure. Doesn't fit here.

 3. definition=established beyond doubt or question; definitely known | examples=what is certain is that every effect must have a cause
    - This is about something being definitely known or true. Doesn't fit the usage here.

 4. definition=certain to occur; destined or inevitable; ; ; - Benjamin Franklin | examples=he was certain to fail
    - This means inevitable or bound to happen. "Certain other side effects" doesn't mean inevitable side effects.

 5. definition=established irrevocably | examples=his fate is sealed
    - This is similar to sealed/irrevocable. Doesn't fit.

 6. definition=reliable in operation or effect | examples=a quick and certain remedy
    - This means reliable or dependable. "Certain remedy" means a remedy that works reliably. Doesn't fit "certain other side effects."

 7. definition=exercising or taking care great enough to bring assurance | examples=be certain to disconnect the iron when you are through
    - This is used as "be certain to" meaning make sure to. Doesn't fit the attributive use here.

 So sense 1 is the correct one: "definite but not specified or identified" - meaning particular but unspecified side effects.

 The answer should be: 1

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "other" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "Treatment should be delayed or discontinued, or the dose reduced, in patients whose blood counts are abnormal or who have certain <t>other</t> side effects."

The word "other" here is modifying "side effects". The context suggests that there are already mentioned side effects (abnormal blood counts), and now it's referring to additional or different side effects.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - This seems to fit. The sentence mentions abnormal blood counts as one issue, and then refers to "other side effects" meaning side effects different from or in addition to the abnormal blood counts.

2. "recently past" - This doesn't fit. "Other side effects" doesn't mean recently past side effects.

3. "belonging to the distant past" - This doesn't fit either.

4. "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected" - While "other" can mean unusual in some contexts (like "a strange, other dimension"), in this medical context, "other side effects" simply means additional or different side effects, not necessarily unusual or strange ones.

Sense 1 is the standard meaning of "other" when referring to additional or different items from those already mentioned. In the sentence, "certain other side effects" means side effects that are different from or in addition to the abnormal blood counts mentioned.

So the answer should be 1.

 Sense 1: definition=a secondary and usually adverse effect of a drug or therapy | examples=severe headaches are one of the side effects of the drug

 Sense 2: definition=any adverse and unwanted secondary effect | examples=a strategy to contain the fallout from the accounting scandal

 Analysis:
 - The sentence is talking about medical treatment ("Treatment should be delayed or discontinued", "blood counts", "dose reduced")
 - The context is clearly medical/pharmaceutical
 - "Side effects" here refers to adverse reactions to a drug or therapy
 - Sense 1 specifically mentions "a secondary and usually adverse effect of a drug or therapy"
 - Sense 2 is more general: "any adverse and unwanted secondary effect" with an example about an accounting scandal (not medical)

 The sentence is discussing medical treatment and drug dosage, so Sense 1 is the correct answer.

6. definition=exerting shrewd or devious influence especially for one's own advantage | examples=his manipulation of his friends was scandalous
7. definition=(law) the exercise of the legal right to enjoy the benefits of owning property | examples=we were given the use of his boat

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "use" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Alimta is not recommended for <t>use</t> in patients with moderate or severe kidney problems."

Let me analyze the sentence:
- "Alimta" is a medication (pemetrexed)
- The sentence says it's not recommended for "use" in certain patients
- Here, "use" refers to the act of using the medication, or the application of the medication

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=the act of using | examples=he warned against the use of narcotic drugs
   - This seems to fit. "The use of narcotic drugs" is similar to "use in patients" - both refer to the act of using something.

2. definition=what something is used for | examples=the function of an auger is to bore holes
   - This refers to the purpose or function. The sentence isn't saying what Alimta is used for (its purpose), but rather about the act of using it in specific patients.

3. definition=a particular service | examples=he put his knowledge to good use
   - This is about putting something to use, making use of it. The phrase "put to use" is idiomatic. The sentence doesn't fit this pattern.

4. definition=(economics) the utilization of economic goods to satisfy needs or in manufacturing | examples=the consumption of energy has increased steadily
   - This is specifically economic usage. Medical context doesn't fit here.

5. definition=(psychology) an automatic pattern of behavior in reaction to a specific situation; may be inherited or acquired through frequent repetition | examples=owls have nocturnal habits
   - This is about habits. Not relevant here.

6. definition=exerting shrewd or devious influence especially for one's own advantage | examples=his manipulation of his friends was scandalous
   - This is about manipulation/exploitation. Not relevant.

7. definition=(law) the exercise of the legal right to enjoy the benefits of owning property | examples=we were given the use of his boat
   - This is legal terminology about property rights. Not relevant to medication.

So sense 1 seems correct: "the act of using" - referring to the act of using Alimta (the medication) in patients with kidney problems.

Let me double-check:
- "use" in the sentence is a noun (preceded by "for")
- It refers to the act or practice of using the drug
- Sense 1: "the act of using" - matches perfectly
- The example "he warned against the use of narcotic drugs" is structurally very similar to "not recommended for use in patients..."

Yes, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Which numbered sense of "patient" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Alimta is not recommended for use in <t>patients</t> with moderate or severe kidney problems.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
2. definition=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

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "patient" is used in the given sentence.

 The sentence is: "Alimta is not recommended for use in <t>patients</t> with moderate or severe kidney problems."

 Let me analyze the two senses provided:

 Sense 1: "a person who requires medical care" with the example "the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly"
 Sense 2: "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"

 In the sentence, "patients" refers to people who receive medical treatment (specifically, they are the ones taking or being considered for Alimta medication). These are people who require medical care and are being treated by healthcare professionals.

 Sense 1 clearly fits: these are people requiring medical care (they have kidney problems and are being considered for a drug).

 Sense 2 is a linguistic/semantic term referring to the grammatical role of "patient" as opposed to "agent" in a sentence structure (like in "John hit the ball" - John is agent, ball is patient). This is clearly not the meaning being used in the medical context sentence.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.
