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

Sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer <t>work</t>, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

The word "work" here refers to the proteins functioning or operating as expected. The proteins are supposed to suppress growth, but if the genes are damaged, these proteins no longer function properly.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. exert oneself by doing mental or physical work - No, this is about human effort.
2. be employed - No, not about employment.
3. have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected - This could be close. "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - this is about functioning.
4. perform as expected when applied - This looks very promising. "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - this is about a machine functioning.
5. shape, form, or improve a material - No.
6. give a workout to - No.
7. proceed along a path - No.
8. operate in a certain place, area, or specialty - No, this is about working in a location or field.
9. proceed towards a goal - No.
10. move in an agitated manner - No.
11. cause to happen - No.
12. cause to work - No, this is transitive.
13. prepare for crops - No.
14. behave in a certain way when handled - This is about materials/dough.
15. have and exert influence or effect - This is about influence, like "the artist's work influenced..."
16. operate in or through - This is transitive "Work the phones"
17. cause to operate - Transitive.
18. provoke or excite - No.
19. gratify and charm - No.
20. make something - No.
21. move into or onto - No.
22. make uniform - No.
23. use or manipulate - No.
24. find the solution - No.
25. cause to undergo fermentation - No.
26. go sour or spoil - No.
27. arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion - No.

Now between 3 and 4:

3. have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected | examples=The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought
4. perform as expected when applied | examples=The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in

The sentence says "their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work". This means the proteins are not functioning properly or performing as expected.

Definition 4 says "perform as expected when applied" - this fits biological mechanisms like proteins. Proteins have specific functions, and when they don't "work", they aren't performing their expected function.

Definition 3 says "have an effect or outcome" - this is more general. But looking at the example "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought", this is about the process functioning.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected" - example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought"
- Definition 4: "perform as expected when applied" - example: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in"

The protein context is about the protein performing its function (growth suppression). When it doesn't work, it's not performing as expected.

But let me look at definition 3 again. "have an effect or outcome" - if the proteins don't work, they don't have the desired effect of suppressing growth.

However, definition 4 seems more about machinery and mechanisms "perform as expected when applied". The example is "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - this is about a machine operating.

But proteins are biological molecules that "work" or function. In dictionary terms, when we say a drug "works", we usually mean it has the desired effect (definition 3). When we say a machine "works", we mean it performs as expected (definition 4).

Let me look at the exact wording in the sentence: "their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work"

This is about the proteins functioning to suppress growth. If they don't work, they don't function.

Definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"
Definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 3 example: "The medicine works" - meaning it has the desired effect
- Sense 4 example: "The machine works" - meaning it operates/functions

But in this biological context, "proteins no longer work" is closer to "perform as expected" or "function".

Wait, let me reconsider definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"
And definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"

The key difference:
- Definition 3 focuses on the result/effect
- Definition 4 focuses on the operation/functioning

For proteins, when we say they "work", we mean they are functioning properly to do their job. But actually, looking at the example for definition 3: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - this is about the process functioning.

Let me think about this more carefully. In the sentence, the proteins are supposed to suppress growth. If they don't work, they don't suppress growth.

Is this "have an effect" (definition 3) or "perform as expected" (definition 4)?

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (since this looks like WordNet data):

WordNet sense for "work" as a verb:
- sense 1: exert oneself (physical/mental effort)
- sense 2: be employed
- sense 3: work, operate (operate in a certain way; "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in")
- sense 4: function, work, operate (perform as expected when applied)
- etc.

Wait, the numbering in the question might be from a specific dataset. Let me look at the definitions again with fresh eyes.

Definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected" - example about voting process
Definition 4: "perform as expected when applied" - example about washing machine

Actually, looking at the examples:
- Definition 3 example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - This is about functioning properly.
- Definition 4 example: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - This is also about functioning.

But there's a subtle difference. Definition 3 emphasizes "effect or outcome" - did it produce the result? Definition 4 emphasizes "perform as expected" - is it operating correctly?

For biological proteins, "work" usually means "function" or "operate".

But let me look at definition 4's example again: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - this is clearly about a machine operating.

Definition 3's example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - this is about the process functioning to produce results.

Actually, I think definition 4 is the best fit: "perform as expected when applied". The proteins are expected to suppress growth. When they don't work, they don't perform as expected.

But wait - I should also consider definition 15: "have and exert influence or effect" - example: "The artist's work influenced the young painter". No, that's about the noun "work" (artwork) or about influence, not about functioning.

Let me reconsider definition 3 vs 4.

Definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"
- If the medicine works, it has the desired effect.
- If the proteins work, they have the effect of suppressing growth.

Definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"
- If the washing machine works, it performs as expected.
- If the proteins work, they perform their function as expected.

Both could fit. But looking at the specific context: "growth-suppressing proteins no longer work"

In biological contexts, when we say a protein "works", we typically mean it functions properly. This aligns with definition 4.

However, looking at the example for definition 3: "The voting process doesn't work" - this is very similar to saying "the proteins don't work". Both are about systems/processes functioning.

But definition 4's example is about a machine (washing machine). Proteins are molecular machines. So definition 4 seems appropriate.

Actually, let me look more carefully at the wording of definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"

And definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"

The phrase "when applied" in definition 4 suggests something being used or put to use. For a washing machine, you apply electricity (plug it in) and it should work. For proteins, they are "applied" in the sense of being present and doing their job.

But actually, looking at standard WordNet senses:
WordNet 3.1 for verb "work":
- S: (v) work (exert oneself...)
- S: (v) work, do work (be employed...)
- S: (v) work, act, function (perform as expected when applied) - "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in"
- S: (v) work (have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected) - "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought"

Wait, that doesn't match the numbering. Let me check the numbering in the problem.

The problem has:
3. have an effect or outcome...
4. perform as expected when applied...

In WordNet, these might be reversed or different. But based on the examples given:
- Definition 3 has example about voting process not working
- Definition 4 has example about washing machine not working

The sentence is about proteins not working. Proteins are like machines - they perform functions. So definition 4 seems best.

But let me double-check by looking at all definitions again to see if there's a better fit.

Definition 15: "have and exert influence or effect" - example about artist's work influencing. This is different - it's about the noun "work" (creative work) having influence, or it's about causing influence. But the example "The artist's work influenced" uses "work" as a noun. Wait, looking at the definition text: "have and exert influence or effect | examples=The artist's work influenced the young painter"

Actually, looking at definition 15: "have and exert influence or effect" - this could be a verb. "The drug works to reduce inflammation" - but the example says "The artist's work influenced" which is the noun.

Hmm, the example shows "work" as a noun in "artist's work", but the definition says "have and exert influence" which would be a verb. This is confusing. But looking at the pattern, all these are verb senses of "work".

Actually, in "The artist's work influenced", "work" is a noun (the artwork). But the definition is for the verb "work". This might be an error in my reading or the definition is different.

Wait, I need to be more careful. The definition 15 says: "have and exert influence or effect". If this is a verb sense, it would be like "He worked his charm" or something. But the example "The artist's work influenced the young painter" - here "work" is clearly a noun.

Let me reconsider. Maybe these definitions are from a specific lexical database where the examples might use the word in different forms, or I'm misunderstanding.

Actually, looking at definition 15 again: "have and exert influence or effect | examples=The artist's work influenced the young painter"

This is inconsistent if "work" is supposed to be a verb. Unless... "work" in the example is the noun form, but the definition is describing the effect of the artwork. But the task says these are "senses of 'work'", implying all are senses of the same word class, probably verb based on most definitions.

Let me assume all 27 are verb senses.

Definition 15 as a verb: "have and exert influence or effect" - this would be like "The speech worked on the crowd" or "His words worked magic" (but that's definition 11).

Actually, looking at definition 11: "cause to happen or to occur as a consequence | examples=I cannot work a miracle"
Definition 15: "have and exert influence or effect | examples=The artist's work influenced the young painter"

The example for 15 uses "work" as a noun. This is puzzling. Unless the database is showing related words or there's an error. But I should focus on the definition text, not just the example.

Definition 15 text: "have and exert influence or effect"
If the proteins work, do they have and exert influence? Yes, they influence cell growth. But the specific phrasing "no longer work" in the context of damaged genes suggests malfunction, not just lack of influence.

Let me go back to the main candidates: 3 and 4.

Definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"
- The proteins are supposed to have the effect of suppressing growth.
- If they don't work, they don't have this effect.

Definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"
- The proteins are supposed to perform the function of suppressing growth.
- If they don't work, they don't perform as expected.

In the context of biology and medicine, when we say a treatment "works", we usually mean it has the desired effect (definition 3). When we say a machine "works", we mean it performs as expected (definition 4).

Proteins are molecular machines. The text says their growth-suppressing function is no longer working. This is about the mechanism performing its function.

But looking at the example for definition 3: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - a voting process is a system/procedure, similar to biological processes.

Actually, I think I should look for the most common sense. "Work" meaning "function" or "operate" is very common.

Let me try a different approach. The sentence is: "proteins no longer work"

If I substitute the definitions:
- "proteins no longer have an effect or outcome" (definition 3) - plausible
- "proteins no longer perform as expected when applied" (definition 4) - plausible
- "proteins no longer behave in a certain way when handled" (definition 14) - no, this is about dough/materials
- "proteins no longer operate" - this would be definition 4 or similar

Actually, looking at definition 4's example: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - this is about operation.

Definition 3's example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - this is about effectiveness.

The distinction:
- Definition 3: effectiveness (does it achieve the goal?)
- Definition 4: operation (does it run/function?)

For proteins, when genes are damaged, the proteins may be malformed and not function (operate) properly. This prevents them from having the effect.

But in common parlance, "the protein doesn't work" means it doesn't function. This is definition 4.

However, I want to check if there's a sense specifically about biological function.

Looking at the list again, definition 4 is "perform as expected when applied" which covers machines, tools, and by extension, biological entities.

Definition 3 is "have an effect or outcome" which is more general.

I think the answer is 4. But let me reconsider definition 3 one more time.

Actually, looking at WordNet (which this appears to be based on):
WordNet 3.0 sense 4 for work.v is: "work, operate - operate in a certain way; 'The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in'"
WordNet 3.0 sense 5 is: "work - have an effect or outcome; 'The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought'"

But the numbering in the problem is:
3. have an effect or outcome...
4. perform as expected when applied...

So the numbering is shifted or different. But the content of definition 4 matches WordNet sense 4 (approximately): "perform as expected when applied" = "operate in a certain way/perform as expected".

And definition 3 matches WordNet sense 5: "have an effect or outcome".

Actually, looking at the examples:
- Definition 4 example: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in"
- Definition 3 example: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought"

In the sentence about proteins, it's saying that because genes are damaged, the proteins no longer work. This is analogous to the washing machine example - a mechanical/biological entity not functioning.

The voting process example (definition 3) is about a system or method being effective.

Proteins are specific functional units, like machines. So definition 4 is better.

But I want to check one more thing. Definition 14: "behave in a certain way when handled" - example: "This dough does not work easily". This is about materials being worked on. Not relevant.

Definition 26: "go sour or spoil" - "The milk has soured". Not relevant.

Definition 27: "arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion" - "The stitches of the hem worked loose". This is about gradual change through motion. Not relevant.

So it's between 3 and 4.

Let me think about the phrase "growth-suppressing proteins no longer work".

If the proteins don't work, the cells turn malignant. This means the proteins are supposed to suppress growth (prevent malignancy). When they work, they suppress growth. When they don't work, they don't suppress growth.

Is this about:
A) The proteins not performing their function (definition 4 - perform as expected)?
B) The proteins not having the desired effect (definition 3 - have an effect)?

Actually, looking at the exact wording of definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"

And definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"

The phrase "when applied" in definition 4 is interesting. When are proteins "applied"? They are always there. But "applied" can mean "when put to use" or "when functioning in their context".

Actually, I think definition 3 might be the intended answer because:
1. The example "The voting process doesn't work" is about a system not functioning properly to achieve its goal
2. The proteins are part of a growth-suppression system
3. "Work" in the sense of "be effective" is very common

But definition 4 with the washing machine example is also about functioning.

Let me search my mental database of how these senses are distinguished. In many lexical databases:
- One sense is for machinery operating (the car works)
- One sense is for methods being effective (the plan works)

Definition 4 with the washing machine is clearly the machinery sense.
Definition 3 with the voting process is the effectiveness sense.

Are proteins more like machinery or more like a plan/process? Proteins are physical entities that perform biochemical functions - they are molecular machines. So definition 4.

However, in the specific context, the emphasis is on the outcome: "cells normally under control turn malignant" because the proteins don't work. This suggests the proteins are not having their intended effect (suppressing growth).

But wait - the sentence says "their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work". The proteins are described as "growth-suppressing" - that's their type/function. When they don't work, they don't perform that function.

I think I'm overthinking this. Let me look for clues in the wording.

Definition 4: "perform as expected when applied"
The proteins are expected to suppress growth. They are "applied" in the sense of being present and active in the cell. When they don't work, they don't perform as expected.

Definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"
The proteins are expected to have the outcome of suppressed growth. When they don't work, they don't have this effect.

Both fit. But definition 4 is more specific to the mechanism functioning, while definition 3 is about the result.

In scientific contexts, when we say a protein "works", we usually mean it functions (definition 4). When we say a drug "works", we might mean either, but often mean it is effective (definition 3).

Actually, looking at the example for definition 3 again: "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought" - this is about effectiveness.

The example for definition 4: "The washing machine won't go unless it's plugged in" - this is about operation.

Damaged genes lead to proteins that don't work. Damaged proteins are like unplugged washing machines - they don't operate.

I think the answer is 4.

But let me double-check by considering if it could be any other number.

Definition 1: physical/mental effort - no
Definition 2: employment - no
Definition 3: have effect - possible
Definition 4: perform as expected - most likely
Definitions 5-27: mostly transitive or specific meanings that don't fit.

Actually, looking at definition 15 again: "have and exert influence or effect"
This is different from definition 3. Definition 3 is "have an effect or outcome" - passive or active? "The medicine works" = has effect.
Definition 15: "have and exert influence" - this is about influencing something else.

For proteins, they exert influence on cell growth. But the phrase is "no longer work" which is intransitive. Definition 15 doesn't specify transitivity, but "exert influence" suggests an object.

Definition 3 is clearly intransitive: "have an effect".

Definition 4 is intransitive: "perform as expected".

Between 3 and 4, I think 4 is slightly better for proteins as functional entities, but 3 is also reasonable.

However, looking at the exact match with the washing machine example - both are about physical entities (machine, proteins) functioning. The voting process is an abstract system.

Therefore: 4.

Wait, I want to check one more thing. Is there any chance it's definition 1? No. Definition 2? No.

Let me reconsider definition 3 vs 4 one more time with the exact sentence.

"But if the genes are damaged... their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work"

If I say "the growth-suppressing proteins no longer have an effect" (def 3) - this is true.
If I say "the growth-suppressing proteins no longer perform as expected" (def 4) - this is true.

But "perform as expected when applied" - the "when applied" is a bit odd for proteins. Proteins are always there. But "applied" can mean "in operation".

Actually, looking at dictionary definitions:
Merriam-Webster for "work" (verb):
1: to bring about : EFFECT
2: to do work : LABOR
3: to perform or carry through a task requiring sustained effort or continuous repeated operations
4: to exert oneself physically or mentally
...
6: to function or operate according to plan or design [the car works]
7: to produce a desired effect : SUCCEED [the pill worked]

Ah! This is helpful.
- Sense 6: function or operate (like a machine) - matches definition 4
- Sense 7: produce a desired effect, succeed - matches definition 3

For proteins: Do they "function or operate" (like machines) or do they "produce a desired effect"?

In biology, proteins are often described as molecular machines that function. But they are also described as working when they have their intended effect.

However, looking at the context: "genes are damaged... proteins no longer work". When genes are damaged, the proteins might be misfolded or not produced correctly, so they don't function properly. This is about the mechanism.

But actually, the sentence is describing the consequence: cells turn malignant because the proteins don't work. This is about the proteins not having their growth-suppressing effect.

I think both are defensible, but in multiple choice questions like this, usually there's a clear answer.

Let me look at the wording of definition 4 once more: "perform as expected when applied"
And definition 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"

The phrase "growth-suppressing proteins" tells us what effect they are supposed to have. "No longer work" means they no longer have that effect.

But "perform as expected" also fits because they are expected to suppress growth.

However, the key might be in the word "applied". Definition 4 specifically mentions "when applied". This suggests an external agent applying the thing. You apply a washing machine (plug it in, turn it on).

For proteins, are they "applied"? Not really. They are present in the cell and function when the cell operates.

Definition 3 doesn't have this "applied" restriction. It's just about having an effect.

Actually, looking at the WordNet gloss for sense 4 (which I believe corresponds to definition 4): "perform as expected when applied"
And sense 5 (definition 3): "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected"

In WordNet, sense 4 is the one with the washing machine example.
Sense 5 is the one with the voting process example.

For biological proteins, WordNet sense 4 (perform as expected) is typically used. For example, "the drug works" might be sense 5 (have effect), but "the machine works" is sense 4.

Actually, looking up usage: "The drug works" usually means it is effective (has the desired effect).
"The protein works" could mean it functions.

But in this specific sentence, with "growth-suppressing proteins", the emphasis is on their function.

I think I'll go with 4. But I want to see if there's any other interpretation.

Actually, looking at definition 26: "go sour or spoil" - no.
Definition 27: "arrive at a certain condition through repeated motion" - no.

One more check: Definition 14 "behave in a certain way when handled" - this is for materials like dough. Proteins are molecules, but "handled" suggests physical manipulation by a person. Not right.

Okay, I think it's between 3 and 4, and I'm leaning toward 4 because proteins are functional entities like machines, and the "perform as expected" definition fits damaged components not working.

But actually, reading the sentence again: "their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant."

The logical flow is:
1. Genes damaged
2. Proteins don't work
3. Cells turn malignant

This means the proteins are supposed to keep cells under control. When they work, cells stay controlled. When they don't work, cells become malignant.

This is about the proteins having the effect of controlling cells. So definition 3: "have an effect or outcome".

Definition 4 is more about the internal operation ("perform"), while definition 3 is about the result ("have an effect").

Since the sentence emphasizes the consequence (cells turn malignant), it's about the proteins not having their protective effect.

Therefore, definition 3 might be better.

But let me look at the examples one more time:
- Definition 3: "The voting process doesn't work" - a process that is supposed to produce a fair outcome
- Definition 4: "The washing machine won't go" - a machine that is supposed to run

Proteins are things, not processes. They are like machines. So definition 4.

I'm going in circles. Let me try a different approach. In the context of the sentence, "work" is intransitive. The proteins work (or don't work).

Looking at the definitions, which are intransitive?
1. exert oneself - intransitive
2. be employed - intransitive
3. have an effect - intransitive
4. perform as expected - intransitive
14. behave when handled - intransitive
26. go sour - intransitive
27. arrive at condition - intransitive

Most others are transitive (shape, give workout, cause, etc.).

Between the intransitive ones:
1. exert oneself - no, not about effort
2. be employed - no
3. have effect - possible
4. perform as expected - possible
14. behave when handled - no, this is about how a material responds to manipulation
26. go sour - no
27. stitches worked loose - no, this is specific to becoming loose through motion

So it's 3 or 4.

Now, the distinction in many dictionaries:
- Work = function, operate (for machines, devices, body parts)
- Work = be effective, succeed (for plans, methods, medicines)

Definition 4 with the washing machine is clearly "function/operate".
Definition 3 with the voting process is "be effective".

Are proteins more like washing machines or voting processes? They are physical functional units, like washing machines.

Answer: 4.

Actually, one last check: Could it be definition 1? "exert oneself by doing mental or physical work" - no, proteins don't exert themselves in the sense of effort.

Definition 4 is the correct answer.

- The sentence mentions "genes"
- It mentions "radiation" and "chemical" damaging genes
- It mentions "cell division"
- It mentions "growth-suppressing proteins"
- It mentions cells turning "malignant" (which is a term used in biology/medicine to describe cancerous cells)

This is clearly a biological context. The word "cell" here refers to biological cells - the basic units of life.

Now let's look at the senses:
1. any small compartment (like honeycomb cells) - not this one
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms... - this matches perfectly
3. electric cell/battery - not this one
4. political cell - not this one
5. mobile phone/cell phone - not this one
6. monk's room - not this one
7. prison cell - not this one

The context is clearly biological: genes, cell division, proteins, malignant growth. This is sense 2.

The answer should be just the number: 2

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

 Sentence: "But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control <t>turn</t> malignant."

 The word "turn" here is used in the context of cells becoming malignant. Let's analyze the sentence structure:
 - Subject: cells normally under control
 - Verb: turn
 - Object/Complement: malignant

 So the structure is "cells turn malignant" meaning cells become malignant.

 Now let's look at the definitions:

 1. change orientation or direction - doesn't fit
 2. undergo a transformation or a change of position or action - possible, but let's check others
 3. undergo a change or development - possible
 4. cause to move around or rotate - doesn't fit (this is transitive, our usage is intransitive)
 5. change to the contrary - doesn't fit well
 6. pass to the other side of - doesn't fit
 7. pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become - This fits perfectly! "turn malignant" = become malignant
 8. let (something) fall or spill - doesn't fit
 9. move around an axis - doesn't fit
 10. cause to move around a center - doesn't fit (transitive)
 11. to send or let go - doesn't fit
 12. to break and turn over earth - doesn't fit
 13. shape by rotating - doesn't fit
 14. change color - doesn't fit (though similar, it's specific to color)
 15. twist suddenly so as to sprain - doesn't fit
 16. cause to change or turn into something different - this is transitive (cause to change), our sentence is intransitive
 17. accomplish by rotating - doesn't fit
 18. get by buying and selling - doesn't fit
 19. cause to move along an axis - doesn't fit (transitive)
 20. channel one's attention - doesn't fit
 21. cause (a plastic object) to assume a crooked or angular form - doesn't fit
 22. alter the functioning or setting of - doesn't fit
 23. direct at someone - doesn't fit
 24. have recourse to - doesn't fit
 25. go sour or spoil - doesn't fit (specific to food)
 26. become officially one year older - doesn't fit

 Now comparing 2, 3, and 7:

 Sense 2: "undergo a transformation or a change of position or action" - examples: "We turned from Socialism to Capitalism". This implies a deliberate or directional change.

 Sense 3: "undergo a change or development" - examples: "The water turned into ice". This is close, but usually implies a physical transformation into something else.

 Sense 7: "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become" - examples: "The weather turned nasty". This fits exactly with "cells turn malignant". "Turn" here means "become" or "pass into a condition".

 Actually, looking at sense 3 again: "The water turned into ice" - this is similar to "cells turn malignant". But sense 7 specifically mentions "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become" with the example "The weather turned nasty".

 "Malignant" is an attribute/condition, just like "nasty" in the example. So sense 7 is the best fit.

 Let me double-check if there's any other sense that could fit.

 Sense 16: "cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics" - example: "The princess turned the frog into a prince". This is transitive (cause to change), but in our sentence, the cells themselves turn malignant - it's intransitive. So 16 is out.

 Sense 7 is specifically about becoming or passing into a condition: "become" is explicitly mentioned in the definition.

 So the answer should be 7.

6. definition=consider to be equal or the same | examples=He identified his brother as one of the fugitives

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

Sentence: "The newly <t>identified</t> genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

The word "identified" here is used in the context of genes being discovered or recognized. Let me look at each sense:

1. "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something" - This could fit. The genes were recognized/discovered.

2. "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property" - This is about naming or referring to something by name. The sentence doesn't emphasize naming, but rather discovery/recognition.

3. "consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else" - This is about personal identification with others. Doesn't fit.

4. "conceive of as united or associated" - This is about association. Doesn't fit the context of discovering genes.

5. "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - This is about classifying or identifying in a scientific taxonomy sense. This could potentially fit since it's about genes (biology).

6. "consider to be equal or the same" - This is about equating things. Doesn't fit.

Now I need to decide between sense 1 and sense 5, and possibly sense 2.

Sense 1: "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something"
- Example: "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"
- This is about establishing what something is, recognizing it.

Sense 5: "identify as in botany or biology, for example"
- This seems to refer to the specific technical usage in biology for classifying organisms or biological entities.

In the sentence "The newly identified genes", this means genes that have been discovered or recognized. This is most similar to sense 1 - establishing the identity of something, recognizing what it is.

However, sense 5 mentions "identify as in botany or biology, for example" which suggests it's about biological classification. But "identified genes" in scientific literature usually means "discovered" or "found and recognized" rather than "classified taxonomically."

Let me reconsider sense 2: "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property"
- Example: "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"
- This is about naming or specifying who someone is.

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "The newly identified genes" - this means genes that have been discovered and recognized. In scientific contexts, when we say "identified genes," we mean genes whose existence has been established or discovered.

Sense 1 seems like the best fit: "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something"

But wait, let me look at sense 5 again. "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - this might be referring to the specific technical term used in biology for classifying species or specimens. But "identified genes" is more about discovery.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster" - this is about recognizing someone visually or establishing who they are.

In the sentence, "newly identified genes" means genes that were recently discovered/recognized. This aligns with sense 1.

But I should also consider if sense 5 is specifically for biological classification. The phrase "identify as in botany or biology" suggests it's about the classification process in biology (like identifying a plant species).

However, in modern molecular biology, when we identify a gene, we are establishing its identity - discovering it and determining what it is. This is sense 1.

Let me check if there's any other interpretation. The word "identified" here is an adjective modifying "genes" - genes that have been identified (discovered/recognized).

Sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
Sense 2: give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name...

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property" with the example "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal."

Hmm, "named" here seems to be used in the sense of "mentioned" or "identified by name."

But in "newly identified genes," the meaning is that the genes were discovered and their identity established. This is sense 1.

Wait, I need to be careful. In many dictionary sense inventories for WordNet or similar, sense 5 "identify as in botany or biology, for example" is often about the specific technical usage of identifying specimens in taxonomy.

But "identified genes" in the sentence is about discovery. Genes are discovered and then identified (their function or sequence is determined).

Actually, looking at the definitions again:

Sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
Sense 5: identify as in botany or biology, for example

Sense 5 is likely the biological classification sense. But the sentence is using "identified" in the sense of "discovered" or "found."

However, looking at the example for sense 1: "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster" - this is about recognizing someone.

For genes, when we say they are "identified," we mean they have been discovered and recognized as specific genes.

I think sense 1 is the correct answer. But let me reconsider sense 5. If sense 5 is specifically about biological identification (like identifying a species, genus, etc.), then it might be relevant. But genes aren't really "identified" in the taxonomic sense - they're discovered, sequenced, characterized.

Actually, looking at WordNet senses for "identify" (which this seems to be based on):

1. recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
2. give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property
3. consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else
4. conceive of as united or associated
5. identify as in botany or biology, for example

Sense 5 in WordNet is specifically: "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - this is used for classifying organisms.

But in the sentence, we're talking about genes being identified. This is sense 1 or possibly sense 2.

Let me think about the exact wording: "The newly identified genes"

This means genes that have been recently discovered/recognized.

Sense 1: establish the identity of something - yes, the identity of the genes has been established.
Sense 2: give the name or identifying characteristics - this is about the act of naming or specifying.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal" - this suggests sense 2 is about naming or specifying individuals.

But "identified genes" is an adjectival use meaning "genes that have been identified."

I think the answer is 1. The genes have been recognized/discovered - their identity has been established.

However, I want to double-check sense 5. In biological contexts, "identify" can mean to determine the nature of a biological specimen. But genes are molecular entities, and identifying them usually means discovering them and determining their sequence or function.

Actually, looking at the sentence more carefully: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s..."

The parallel structure suggests "identified" is similar to "discovered."

"Discovered" in the second part corresponds to "identified" in the first part.

So "identified" here means "discovered" or "found."

Which sense is closest to "discover"?

Sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
- This includes the idea of establishing what something is, which involves discovery.

Sense 5: identify as in botany or biology, for example
- This is about classification.

I think sense 1 is correct.

But wait - I should look at whether sense 5 might be the answer intended here. In biological literature, when we identify a gene, we are often assigning it to a category or determining what it is. But the definition says "identify as in botany or biology, for example" which suggests it's the technical biological sense.

Let me reconsider the WordNet definitions. In WordNet, sense 5 of "identify" is:
"identify as in botany or biology, for example"

This is glossed as: identify (a specimen in biology, for example)

So it's specifically about identifying specimens in biology.

But genes aren't specimens in the traditional sense. However, the sentence is about genes (biological entities).

Still, I think sense 1 is more general and fits better. "Establish the identity of" something is exactly what happens when scientists identify a gene - they figure out what it is, its sequence, its location, etc.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 1 again: "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"
This is about recognizing someone visually.

And sense 2: "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"
This is about naming people.

Sense 5 is the biological classification sense.

In the context of molecular biology, identifying a gene is about determining its sequence, location, and function - establishing its identity. This is sense 1.

I think the answer is 1.

But I want to be thorough. Is there any chance it's sense 2? "give the name or identifying characteristics of" - when genes are identified, they are often given names. But the primary meaning in "newly identified genes" is that they were discovered/recently found, not specifically that they were named.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

Actually, I just realized something. In many lexical semantic datasets, sense 5 might be the specific sense for biological classification, and the sentence is about genes (biology). But "identified" here doesn't mean classified taxonomically - it means discovered.

Let me check if there's a pattern in how these senses are distinguished.

Sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity
Sense 5: identify as in botany or biology

The key difference is that sense 5 is specifically for the biological/taxonomic domain. But "identify" in molecular biology (identifying a gene) is different from taxonomic identification (identifying a species).

However, the definition of sense 5 says "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - the "for example" suggests it's not limited to botany but includes biology broadly. This could include molecular biology.

But looking at the gloss and typical usage, sense 5 is about classifying biological specimens. Sense 1 is the general sense of establishing identity.

I think for "identified genes," the general sense 1 applies. The genes were recognized/discovered.

Let me see if I can find similar examples. "Identified genes" - this would use sense 1.

Actually, looking at the WordNet entry more carefully:

Sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something; "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"
Sense 2: give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property; "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"; "The almanac identifies the auspicious months"
Sense 5: identify as in botany or biology, for example

Sense 5 in WordNet is actually: "identify (a specimen in biology, for example)"

The example for sense 5 might be something like "The biologist identified the plant as a rare species."

In our sentence: "The newly identified genes" - this is a passive construction. The genes were identified by researchers.

Is this establishing their identity (sense 1) or biological classification (sense 5)?

I think it's sense 1. The process of gene identification in molecular biology is about finding and characterizing genes - establishing their identity.

However, I want to consider if the answer might be 5 because the context is biological (genes).

But looking at the definitions provided:
1. recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
5. identify as in botany or biology, for example

Sense 5 is specifically for biological classification contexts. But "genes" are biological, so one might think sense 5 applies. However, the act of identifying a gene is not the same as identifying a specimen in taxonomy. It's about discovery and characterization.

Actually, looking at the WordNet sense 5 more precisely, it's often used for: "The botanist identified the plant as a member of the rose family." This is classification.

For genes: "Scientists identified a new gene associated with cancer." This is discovery/establishing existence.

I think sense 1 is correct.

But let me reconsider sense 2: "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property"

Could "identified" mean that the genes were named? The sentence says "newly identified genes differ from... genes discovered in the 1980s called oncogenes."

The parallel is: identified genes vs. discovered genes.
"Discovered" suggests "identified" here means found/recognized.

Also, the word "newly" suggests recently discovered.

I think the answer is 1.

Wait, I should check if sense 5 has examples that include genes. The definition says "identify as in botany or biology, for example." This is quite broad. It could include identifying genes.

But sense 1 is the general sense that applies to recognizing anything. When we identify genes, we are establishing their identity.

I think I'm overthinking this. The most likely answer is 1.

But actually, looking at similar tasks (this looks like a Word Sense Disambiguation task), I should consider the specific nuances.

In WSD for WordNet, "identify" sense 5 is specifically for biological classification. The example is usually about identifying a species or specimen.

Sense 1 is the general "recognize/establish identity" sense.

The sentence is: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

The word "identified" here is synonymous with "discovered" or "found." This maps to sense 1: establish the identity of something (figure out what it is, that it exists).

Sense 5 would be more about classifying something already known to exist into a taxonomic category.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Actually, I want to check one more thing. Is there any possibility it's sense 6?
6. consider to be equal or the same | examples=He identified his brother as one of the fugitives

This is about equating one thing with another. "He identified X as Y" means he recognized X to be Y.

Wait, the example for sense 6 is: "He identified his brother as one of the fugitives"

This looks similar to sense 1! Let me look at the definitions again:

1. recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
6. consider to be equal or the same

Actually, looking at WordNet:
Sense 1: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something; "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"
Sense 6: consider to be equal or the same; "He identified his brother as one of the fugitives"

Hmm, these seem very similar. But sense 6 might be about considering two things as the same, whereas sense 1 is about establishing what something is.

Actually, in WordNet, sense 6 is often: "identify, place: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something" - wait, that's confusing.

Let me look at the standard WordNet 3.0 senses for the verb "identify":

1. recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something; "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"
2. give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property; "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"; "The almanac identifies the auspicious months"
3. consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else; "He identified with the refugees"
4. conceive of as united or associated; "Sex activity is closely identified with the hypothalamus"
5. identify as in botany or biology, for example
6. consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else - wait, that's sense 3.

Actually, looking up WordNet 3.0:
The senses are:
1. recognize, place, identify - recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something
2. name, identify - give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property
3. identify - consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else
4. identify - conceive of as united or associated
5. identify - identify as in botany or biology, for example
6. identify - consider to be equal or the same

Sense 6 example: "He identified his brother as one of the fugitives"

So sense 6 is about identifying X as Y - equating them.
Sense 1 is about identifying something (establishing what it is).

In "newly identified genes", there is no "as" phrase. It's just "identified genes" - genes that have been identified (discovered/recognized).

This is sense 1.

Sense 6 requires an object and a complement: identify X as Y.
Sense 1 can be used with just an object: identify X.

In the sentence: "The newly identified genes" - this is passive. Someone identified the genes. The genes were identified.

This is sense 1.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

I'm now quite confident the answer is 1.

Sentence: The newly identified genes <t>differ</t> from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:

2. definition=be of different opinions | examples=I beg to differ!

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "differ" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "The newly identified genes <t>differ</t> from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

The two senses provided are:
1. definition=be different | examples=These two tests differ in only one respect
2. definition=be of different opinions | examples=I beg to differ!

Let me analyze the sentence. The subject is "The newly identified genes" and the verb is "differ" followed by "from a family of genes..." This is describing a relationship between two sets of genes - the newly identified ones and the oncogenes discovered in the 1980s.

The meaning here is that the newly identified genes are different from the oncogenes. They are not the same. This matches sense 1: "be different".

Sense 2 refers to having different opinions, which doesn't make sense in this context because genes don't have opinions. The context is biological/genetic comparison.

So the answer should be 1.

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

 Sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a <t>family</t> of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is talking about "genes"
 - It mentions "a family of genes"
 - This is a biological/scientific context
 - The word "family" here refers to a group or classification of genes that share common characteristics

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=a social unit living together | examples=he moved his family to Virginia
    - This is about people living together. Not applicable to genes.

 2. definition=primary social group; parents and children | examples=he wanted to have a good job before starting a family
    - This is about human parents and children. Not applicable to genes.

 3. definition=a collection of things sharing a common attribute | examples=there are two classes of detergents
    - This is a general definition of a group of things with common attributes. This could potentially fit, as genes in a family share common attributes.

 4. definition=people descended from a common ancestor | examples=his family has lived in Massachusetts since the Mayflower
    - This is about human ancestry. Not applicable to genes in this technical sense.

 5. definition=a person having kinship with another or others | examples=he's kin
    - This is about kinship between people. Not applicable.

 6. definition=(biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera | examples=sharks belong to the fish family
    - This is a biological taxonomy term. While "family" is used in taxonomy (like Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species), the example here is about "a family of genes" which is slightly different from the taxonomic rank. However, in biology, "gene family" is a term used to describe a group of genes that share a common ancestry and have similar functions or structures.

    Wait, let me reconsider. The definition says "a taxonomic group containing one or more genera" - that's the taxonomic rank "family" (like Felidae for cats). But in the sentence, it's "a family of genes" - this is using "family" in the sense of a group or class of related genes.

    Actually, looking at sense 3: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute" - this seems like it could fit. But sense 6 is specifically biological.

    Let me think about "gene family". In molecular biology, a gene family is a group of genes that share a common ancestry and often have similar functions. This is related to the taxonomic sense but applied to genes.

    However, looking at the specific definition in sense 6: "(biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera" - this is specifically about the taxonomic rank (Family) that contains genera. For example, the family Felidae contains the genus Panthera, Felis, etc.

    But "a family of genes" is not using the taxonomic rank "Family" (which is above genus). Instead, it's using "family" in the sense of a group of related things.

    Let me look at sense 3 again: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute". The example is "there are two classes of detergents". This is a very general sense.

    But wait, in biological contexts, when we say "family of genes" or "gene family", is this sense 3 or sense 6?

    Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases, "family" in "gene family" is often sense 3 (a group of things with common attributes) or sometimes considered a specialized use.

    But let me look more carefully at sense 6: "(biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera". This is very specific to the Linnaean taxonomy (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species).

    The sentence says "a family of genes". Genes are not organisms classified in the Linnaean hierarchy. So sense 6 doesn't fit perfectly because genes don't form "genera" in the taxonomic sense.

    However, sense 3: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute" - genes in a gene family share common attributes (sequence similarity, common ancestry, similar function).

    But let me check if there's a more specific sense. Looking at the list:
    - Sense 3 is the general "group/class" sense
    - Sense 6 is the specific biological taxonomy sense

    In many lexical semantic datasets (like WordNet), "family" in the context of "gene family" is actually sense 3, or sometimes there's a specific sense for biological groups.

    Wait, I should look at the example in sense 6: "sharks belong to the fish family". This is about the taxonomic group.

    The sentence is about "a family of genes". This is metaphorical or extended use from the biological taxonomy, but technically, genes are grouped into "families" based on homology.

    Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
    - In biology, a family is a taxonomic category above genus and below order.
    - But "family" can also mean a group of related things, especially in chemistry or biology (like "family of curves", "family of genes").

    Let me reconsider sense 3: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute". This is very general and would cover "family of genes".

    But is there a better fit? Sense 6 is specifically marked as biology, but it's about taxonomic groups containing genera.

    Actually, looking at the sentence again: "a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes". Oncogenes are a specific class/category of genes.

    In WordNet 3.0 or similar, the sense for "family" meaning "a group of things with common characteristics" is usually sense 3 (class, category).

    Sense 6 is specifically: (biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera.

    Since genes are not classified into "genera", sense 6 is not correct. Genes are molecular entities, not organisms.

    Therefore, the correct sense is likely 3: a collection of things sharing a common attribute.

    But wait, let me double-check. In some contexts, "family" in biology can refer to:
    1. A taxonomic rank (sense 6)
    2. A group of related chemical elements (like the halogen family)
    3. A group of related genes (gene family)

    For chemical elements, it's sense 3 (collection of things sharing common attributes).
    For genes, it's also sense 3.

    However, I should check if the question might be expecting sense 6 because it's a biological context. But the definition of sense 6 specifically mentions "containing one or more genera", which doesn't apply to genes.

    Let me look at the other senses to be sure:
    - Sense 7: gangsters - no
    - Sense 8: association of people - no

    So it's between sense 3 and sense 6.

    Sense 3: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute" - examples: "there are two classes of detergents"
    Sense 6: "(biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera" - examples: "sharks belong to the fish family"

    The sentence is about genes. Genes don't form taxonomic groups containing genera. They form groups based on shared characteristics (homology, function).

    Therefore, sense 3 is the correct answer.

    But I want to be careful. In some lexical databases, "family" might have a specific sense for biological groups. But given the definitions provided, sense 3 is the best fit.

    Actually, looking at the example in sense 3: "there are two classes of detergents" - this shows it's about categories or classes of things.

    "A family of genes" = a class/category of genes that share common attributes (they are related, have similar sequences, etc.).

    So the answer should be 3.

    Wait, I should reconsider. Is it possible that in this specific dataset (looks like WordNet), "family" in the biological sense of "gene family" maps to sense 6?

    Let me think about WordNet senses:
    - Sense 1: family, household, home, menage...
    - Sense 2: family, family unit...
    - Sense 3: class, category, family... (a collection of things sharing a common attribute)
    - Sense 4: family, family line, folk, kinfolk...
    - Sense 5: kin, kinsperson, family...
    - Sense 6: family (biology)...
    - Sense 7: syndicate, crime syndicate, mob, family...
    - Sense 8: family, fellowship...

    In WordNet, sense 3 is indeed the hypernym for "class" or "category" - a collection of entities sharing a common attribute.

    Sense 6 is specifically the taxonomic rank.

    "Gene family" is not a taxonomic rank in the Linnaean sense. It's a grouping of genes. So it should be sense 3.

    However, I want to verify by looking at how "family" is used in biology beyond taxonomy. In biology, we say:
    - "the family Felidae" (taxonomic rank - sense 6)
    - "a family of proteins" (group of related proteins - sense 3)
    - "a family of curves" (mathematics - sense 3)
    - "a family of genes" (group of related genes - sense 3)

    Yes, sense 3 is correct.

    But let me double-check the exact wording of sense 3: "a collection of things sharing a common attribute"
    And sense 6: "(biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera"

    The sentence mentions "oncogenes" which are a type/family of genes. This is definitely a collection of things (genes) sharing a common attribute (being oncogenes, having the ability to cause cancer when mutated, etc.).

    Therefore, the answer is 3.

    Actually, one more check: could it be sense 6 because it's biology? The definition says "a taxonomic group containing one or more genera". Genes are not organisms and don't contain genera. So no.

    Could it be sense 4 about descendants? "people descended from a common ancestor" - genes aren't people.

    So yes, sense 3 is the only one that fits.

    Final answer: 3

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

Sentence: The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes <t>discovered</t> in the early 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:
1. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children
3. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding | examples=Roentgen discovered X-rays
4. definition=make a discovery | examples=She found that he had lied to her
5. definition=find unexpectedly | examples=the archeologists chanced upon an old tomb
6. definition=make known to the public information that was previously known only to a few people or that was meant to be kept a secret | examples=The auction house would not disclose the price at which the van Gogh had sold
7. definition=see for the first time; make a discovery | examples=Who discovered the North Pole?
8. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example

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

Sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes <t>discovered</t> in the early 1980s called oncogenes."

Let me analyze the sentence:
- It talks about genes that were "discovered" in the early 1980s
- These are called oncogenes
- This refers to a scientific finding/made a discovery in the past

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This is about detecting something, like lead in water. While related, this seems more about detection/testing.

2. "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - This implies accidental learning, like "I learned she has children". Doesn't fit the scientific context of discovering genes.

3. "make a discovery, make a new finding" - Examples: "Roentgen discovered X-rays". This fits perfectly. Scientists discovered oncogenes in the 1980s - this is a scientific discovery/new finding.

4. "make a discovery" - Examples: "She found that he had lied to her". This seems more about finding out a fact or truth about something known, rather than scientific discovery.

5. "find unexpectedly" - Examples: "the archeologists chanced upon an old tomb". This implies accident/chance. While discoveries can be accidental, the specific context of scientific discovery of genes in the 1980s fits better with sense 3.

6. "make known to the public information that was previously known only to a few people" - This is about revealing/disclosing secrets. Not applicable here.

7. "see for the first time; make a discovery" - Examples: "Who discovered the North Pole?" This is also about first discovery/exploration.

Now I need to distinguish between sense 3 and sense 7, and possibly sense 1.

Sense 3: "make a discovery, make a new finding" with example "Roentgen discovered X-rays" - This is about scientific discovery, finding something new scientifically.

Sense 7: "see for the first time; make a discovery" with example "Who discovered the North Pole?" - This is about being the first to find/see something, often geographical/exploration.

Sense 1: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This is more like detecting, noticing.

In the context of genes being discovered in the 1980s (oncogenes), this is clearly a scientific research discovery - making a new finding in science. This matches sense 3 best (Roentgen discovered X-rays).

Sense 7 could also work (discovering the North Pole), but sense 3 is more specific to scientific findings/research discoveries, while sense 7 seems more about exploration/seeing for the first time.

Actually, looking carefully:
- Sense 3: make a discovery, make a new finding (Roentgen discovered X-rays)
- Sense 7: see for the first time; make a discovery (Who discovered the North Pole?)

Both involve "make a discovery". But sense 3 explicitly mentions "make a new finding" which is perfect for scientific research context. The example "Roentgen discovered X-rays" is exactly parallel to discovering oncogenes.

Sense 7 with "see for the first time" seems more visual/exploratory.

Also, looking at sense 1 vs sense 3:
- Sense 1: detect/determine existence (like detecting lead in water - testing for presence)
- Sense 3: make a new finding (like discovering X-rays or oncogenes)

Discovering oncogenes is definitely "making a new finding" (sense 3) rather than just "determining the existence" (sense 1) or "seeing for the first time" (sense 7).

Therefore, the answer should be 3.

Wait, let me double-check if there's any other nuance.

Sense 8: "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - This could also fit, as genes are biological. But sense 3 with the example "Roentgen discovered X-rays" seems more directly aligned with discovering genes. Sense 8 seems to be about classification/identification within taxonomy, like "identify this plant as a rare species". But "discovered oncogenes" is about the initial discovery of their existence, not just classifying them.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar dictionaries, sense 8 might be from WordNet: "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - verb: discover, key out, key (identify as in botany or biology, for example). This is about identification/classification using keys, not discovery of existence.

So between 3 and possibly 7, sense 3 is the best fit.

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the <t>early</t> 1980s called oncogenes.

Senses:
1. definition=at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time | examples=early morning
2. definition=being or occurring at an early stage of development | examples=in an early stage
3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very young | examples=at an early age
5. definition=of an early stage in the development of a language or literature | examples=the Early Hebrew alphabetical script is that used mainly from the 11th to the 6th centuries B.C.
6. definition=expected in the near future | examples=look for an early end to the negotiations

reasoning_content:
 Let me analyze the sentence and the senses of "early" provided.

 Sentence: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the <t>early</t> 1980s called oncogenes."

 The word "early" here modifies "1980s" which is a period of time.

 Let me look at each sense:

 1. "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time" - examples: early morning

 This sense refers to being at or near the beginning of a period of time. "Early 1980s" means the beginning part of the 1980s (like 1980-1983 or so). This fits perfectly.

 2. "being or occurring at an early stage of development" - examples: in an early stage

 This refers to development stages, not time periods like decades.

 3. "belonging to the distant past" - examples: the early inhabitants of Europe

 This refers to things in the distant past, but "1980s" is a specific time period, and "early" here specifies which part of that period, not that it's distant past.

 4. "very young" - examples: at an early age

 This refers to age/youth.

 5. "of an early stage in the development of a language or literature" - examples: the Early Hebrew alphabetical script

 This is specific to language/literature development.

 6. "expected in the near future" - examples: look for an early end

 This refers to future expectations.

 Clearly, sense 1 is the correct answer. "Early 1980s" means at or near the beginning of the 1980s (the period of time).

 The definition in sense 1 says "at or near the beginning of a period of time" - and "1980s" is a period of time. The phrase "early 1980s" refers to the years at the beginning of that decade (1980, 1981, 1982, etc.).

 So the answer is 1.

28. definition=rouse somebody from sleep with a call | examples=I was called at 5 A.M. this morning

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "call" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s <t>called</t> oncogenes."

 Let me analyze the sentence structure:
 - "a family of genes... called oncogenes"
 - This is a passive construction where "oncogenes" is the name given to the family of genes.
 - The word "called" here means "named" or "assigned the name".

 Looking at the senses:
 1. "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" - This seems close. The genes are being assigned the name "oncogenes".
 2. "ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality" - This is about calling someone a bastard (insulting or describing with a noun). Not quite right.
 3. telephone - no
 4. cry out - no
 5. order to come - no
 6. visit - no
 7. call a meeting - no
 8. read aloud - no
 9. radio/phone message - no
 10. characteristic note of animal - no
 11. stop/postpone - no
 12. greet - no
 13. stop in harbour - no
 14. demand payment - no
 15. demand card in game - no
 16. square dance - no
 17. indicate decision (umpire) - no
 18. predict - no
 19. require presentation for redemption - no
 20. challenge - no
 21. declare as umpire - no
 22. lure animals - no
 23. order/command for strike - no
 24. summon for duty - no
 25. utter in loud voice - no
 26. challenge sincerity - no
 27. consider/regard as being - "I would not call her beautiful" - this is about considering something as having a quality
 28. rouse from sleep - no

 Now between sense 1 and sense 27:
 Sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" - example: "They named their son David"
 Sense 27: "consider or regard as being" - example: "I would not call her beautiful"

 In the sentence: "genes... called oncogenes"
 This is saying the genes are named "oncogenes". This is about assigning a name.

 Sense 1 seems to be the best fit. The genes are assigned the name "oncogenes".

 Wait, let me look at sense 1 again: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to"
 The example is "They named their son David"
 In our sentence: "genes... called oncogenes"
 This is exactly the structure: X called Y = X named Y.

 But wait, is "oncogenes" a proper name? It's a technical term, a name for that family of genes.

 Actually, looking more carefully at sense 27: "consider or regard as being" - this is when you say "I call that unfair" or "He called me a liar". Wait, sense 2 is "ascribe a quality... give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality" with example "He called me a bastard".

 Sense 1 is about proper names: "They named their son David"
 Sense 2 is about common nouns reflecting qualities: "He called me a bastard" (using a common noun as a label)

 "Oncogenes" is a technical term, a classification name. It's not a proper name like "David". But in the context of word senses, "called" in "genes called oncogenes" means "named" or "referred to as".

 Let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 2.
 Sense 1: assign a proper name (like David, John, etc.)
 Sense 2: ascribe a quality or give a name of a common noun (like bastard, liar, etc.)

 "Oncogenes" is a common noun (plural), but it's a technical term functioning as a name for that class.

 Actually, looking at typical dictionary definitions for "call" in this context:
 - "The genes are called oncogenes" = "The genes are named oncogenes"

 In WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 1 is usually the naming sense.
 Let me check: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to"

 But "oncogenes" is not a proper name. However, the sense says "usually proper" which suggests that it's primarily for proper names but might include other naming contexts.

 Actually, looking at sense 27: "consider or regard as being"
 Example: "I would not call her beautiful"
 This is different from naming. This is about categorizing or describing.

 The sentence "genes called oncogenes" is about naming/categorizing them with that term.

 In many lexical sense inventories (like WordNet), the sense "give a name to" covers both proper and common nouns when used as names. But looking at the specific senses provided:

 Sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to"
 Sense 2: "ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality"

 Actually, looking at the examples:
 Sense 1: "They named their son David" - proper name
 Sense 2: "He called me a bastard" - common noun used as insult/description

 "Oncogenes" is a technical term, a class name. It's functioning as a name for the genes.

 In the context of biological/scientific classification, when we say "genes called oncogenes", we are saying they are named oncogenes. This is closest to sense 1, even though oncogenes isn't a "proper name" in the traditional sense (like David), it's a technical term used as a name.

 However, sense 27 might also be relevant: "consider or regard as being" - but that's more subjective.

 Let me look at the exact wording again: "a family of genes... called oncogenes"
 This is a reduced relative clause: "a family of genes [which were] called oncogenes"

 The meaning is: people named them/called them oncogenes.

 Between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - Sense 1 emphasizes proper names but says "usually proper"
 - Sense 2 emphasizes common nouns that reflect qualities (like "bastard", "liar", "fool")

 "Oncogenes" is neither a proper name like "David" nor a quality-reflecting common noun like "bastard". It's a technical classification term.

 But looking at the options, sense 1 is the only one that fits the "naming" aspect. Sense 2 is specifically about ascribing qualities (insults or descriptions).

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.1 or similar:
 WordNet sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" - "They named their son David"
 WordNet sense 2: "assign a name or title to" - might be different.

 But given the specific list provided, sense 1 is: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to"
 And sense 2 is: "ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality"

 Wait, I think I need to look at this more carefully. The word "called" in the sentence is used to indicate what the genes are named.

 If I look at sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" - the example is naming a son David. This is about giving a proper name.

 But in scientific contexts, "called" is used to introduce the name of something: "a device called a telephone", "genes called oncogenes".

 This might actually be sense 27 or similar, but let's look at sense 27: "consider or regard as being" - "I would not call her beautiful". This is different.

 Actually, looking at the full list, there might be a sense missing or I might be misreading.

 Let me reconsider sense 1. The key is "assign a specified... name to". In the sentence, the genes are assigned the name "oncogenes". Even though "oncogenes" is not a proper noun like "David", it is functioning as the name of those genes.

 But wait - there's also the possibility that this is sense 1 because it's the only one that deals with naming.

 Actually, looking at standard lexicographic practice, "call" in "something called X" usually falls under the "name" sense.

 Let me check if there's a better fit.
 Sense 25: "utter in a loud voice or announce" - no
 Sense 12: "greet" - no

 I think sense 1 is the intended answer, despite the "proper name" qualification in the definition. The phrase "usually proper" suggests it can be used for other types of names too, or the definition is approximated.

 However, looking at sense 2 again: "ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality"
 "Oncogene" is a common noun (plural: oncogenes). Does it reflect a quality? It's a classification. The example "He called me a bastard" - "bastard" is a common noun reflecting a quality (illegitimacy or unpleasantness).

 But "oncogene" is just a name for a type of gene. It doesn't necessarily reflect a quality in the same way.

 Actually, looking at typical word sense disambiguation datasets (like SemCor or similar), when you have "X called Y" where Y is a technical term or class name, it usually maps to the "name" sense.

 Let me reconsider sense 27: "consider or regard as being"
 If the sentence were "I would call these genes oncogenes", that might be sense 27.
 But "genes called oncogenes" is passive, meaning "genes which are named oncogenes".

 I think the answer is 1.

 But let me double-check. Is there any other sense?
 Sense 25: "utter in a loud voice or announce" - "He called my name" - this is about shouting a name.
 Sense 1: "They named their son David" - this is about assigning a name.

 The sentence uses "called" in the passive voice: "genes... called oncogenes" = "genes which are called oncogenes" = "genes which are named oncogenes".

 This is clearly sense 1.

 Wait, I should check if "call" in this context could be sense 27. "Consider or regard as being" - if I say "He is called intelligent", that might be sense 27. But "He is called John" is sense 1. "Oncogenes" is like "John" here - it's the actual name of the genes, not a subjective assessment.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

 Actually, one more check: in some dictionaries, "call" meaning "to give a name to" is distinct from "call" meaning "to describe as".
 - "They called the baby John" = name (sense 1)
 - "They called him a fool" = describe/label (sense 2 or 27)

 "Oncogenes" is the name of the genes. So sense 1.

 The answer is 1.

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

The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be <t>present</t> for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

The two senses provided are:
1. temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration (examples: the present leader)
2. being or existing in a specified place (examples: the murderer is present in this room)

Let me analyze the usage in the sentence. The word "present" here means that oncogenes must exist or be found in the cell. It's talking about the existence/location of oncogenes within cells (normal or cancerous).

Sense 1 refers to time (present vs past vs future).
Sense 2 refers to existence in a place/location (being somewhere).

In the sentence, "Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant" - this means oncogenes must exist/be found in the cell. It's about the presence/existence of something in a location (the cell), not about time.

However, looking more carefully, sense 2 says "being or existing in a specified place" and the example is "the murderer is present in this room" - which is about physical presence/location.

But in the biological context, "present" could mean "existing" or "found" which is closer to sense 2 (existence in a place) than sense 1 (temporal).

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "Oncogenes must be present" - this means they must exist or be found in the cells. This is clearly sense 2 - being or existing in a specified place (or in this case, existing within the cell).

Sense 1 would be like "the present situation" or "at the present time" - referring to the current time.

So the answer should be 2.

Wait, let me double-check. In biology, when we say a gene is "present," we mean it exists in the genome or in the cell. This is about existence/location, not time. So yes, sense 2.

The answer is 2.

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

The sentence is: "Oncogenes must be present for a <t>cell</t> to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves."

Key context clues:
- "Oncogenes" - these are genes that have the potential to cause cancer
- "become malignant" - refers to cancer/malignancy
- "normal as well as in cancerous cells" - comparing normal biological units to cancerous ones
- "researchers" - scientific context
- "cancer" - medical/biological context

Looking at the senses:
1. any small compartment (like honeycomb) - not biological context
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - this fits perfectly with oncogenes, malignant, cancerous cells, etc.
3. device delivering electric current (battery) - not relevant
4. political movement unit - not relevant
5. mobile phone - not relevant
6. monk/nun room - not relevant
7. prisoner room - not relevant

The context is clearly biological/medical, talking about oncogenes and cancer, so sense 2 is the correct answer.

I should return only the number.
