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

Sentence: Alimta is used to treat two types of cancer: pleural mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lungs that is usually <t>caused</t> by exposure to asbestos).

Senses:
1. definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | examples=cause a commotion
2. definition=cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner | examples=The ads induced me to buy a VCR

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

 Sentence: "Alimta is used to treat two types of cancer: pleural mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lungs that is usually <t>caused</t> by exposure to asbestos)."

 The word "caused" here is in the passive voice. The structure is "caused by exposure to asbestos" - meaning the exposure to asbestos gives rise to or brings about the cancer.

 Let's look at the senses:

 Sense 1: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally" - examples: "cause a commotion"
 - This fits. Exposure to asbestos gives rise to/caused the cancer to happen.

 Sense 2: "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" - examples: "The ads induced me to buy a VCR"
 - This is about causing someone to perform an action or behave in a certain way. This doesn't fit because cancer is not an agent that "does" something in the sense of performing an action, and the sentence isn't about causing someone to act. It's about one thing (asbestos exposure) leading to a condition (cancer).

 So the correct answer is 1.

 The sentence is saying that asbestos exposure gives rise to/caused the cancer to occur. This matches sense 1.

 I should return only the number.

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

Sentence: Alimta is <t>used</t> together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose | examples=use your head!
2. definition=take or consume (regularly or habitually) | examples=She uses drugs rarely
3. definition=use up, consume fully | examples=The legislature expended its time on school questions

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

Sentence: "Alimta is <t>used</t> together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable..."

The word "used" here is in the passive voice: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin".

Let me look at the definitions:

1. "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" - This seems to fit. Alimta (a medicine) is being put into service/employed for a particular purpose (treating cancer).

2. "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" - This is about consuming something, like drugs. But here Alimta is the thing being administered/employed, not consumed in the sense of a patient taking it (though medically it's consumed, the grammatical structure here is about the medicine being employed/utilized in treatment).

3. "use up, consume fully" - This is about depleting resources. Not applicable here.

4. "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" - This implies agency and advantage. The sentence is describing a medical treatment protocol, not someone using something to their advantage.

5. "avail oneself to" - This usually means to make use of something available. Examples given is "apply a principle". But here the structure is "Alimta is used" - Alimta is the object being used, not the subject availing itself.

6. "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" - This is "used to" construction. The sentence has "is used", not "used to", so this is not correct.

Definition 1 seems to be the best fit: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose". The medicine Alimta is being put into service (employed) for the purpose of treating cancer, specifically together with cisplatin.

The sense is about utilizing the medicine for its intended medical purpose. This aligns with definition 1.

Let me double-check definition 5: "avail oneself to" - example "apply a principle". This is about utilizing something, but typically the subject is the one availing. Here the medicine is the object being used.

Definition 1 examples: "use your head!" - this is about employing/using something for a purpose.

The sentence structure "X is used for Y" or "X is used together with Z" clearly matches definition 1: putting X into service for a particular purpose.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer <t>medicine</t>) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques
2. definition=(medicine) something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease
3. definition=the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school and that is devoted to preventing or alleviating or curing diseases and injuries | examples=he studied medicine at Harvard
4. definition=punishment for one's actions | examples=you have to face the music

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

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer <t>medicine</t>) when the cancer is unresectable..."

Looking at the context:
- "Alimta" is a drug (pemetrexed)
- "cisplatin" is another drug
- "another anticancer medicine" - here medicine refers to a substance/drug used to treat disease
- Later in the sentence: "chemotherapy (medicines for cancer)" - again referring to drugs/substances

Now let's look at the senses:
1. "the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques" - This refers to the field of medicine as a science. Not a specific drug.
2. "(medicine) something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease" - This refers to a drug, medication, or pharmaceutical substance. This fits "anticancer medicine" = anticancer drug.
3. "the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school..." - This refers to the profession/practice of medicine. Not a substance.
4. "punishment for one's actions" - This is the idiom "face the music" type usage, clearly not relevant.

So sense 2 is the correct one. The word "medicine" here means a drug or substance that treats disease.

Let me double-check:
- "another anticancer medicine" = another anticancer drug/treatment substance
- Sense 2: "something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease" - yes, exactly.

The answer should be just the number: 2.

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the <t>cancer</t> is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The context is clearly medical. The sentence discusses:
- Alimta (a medication)
- Cisplatin (another anticancer medicine)
- The cancer being unresectable
- Malignant growth
- Chemotherapy
- Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
2. definition=(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer
3. definition=a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Leo and Gemini
4. definition=the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22
5. definition=type genus of the family Cancridae

Sense 1 is clearly the medical definition of cancer as a disease - malignant growth/tumor.
Sense 2 is astrological (person).
Sense 3 is astronomical (constellation).
Sense 4 is astrological (zodiac sign).
Sense 5 is biological taxonomy (genus of crabs).

The sentence is talking about lung cancer as a medical condition/disease. The word "cancer" in the sentence refers to the malignant disease that can spread to other parts of the body. This matches sense 1.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be <t>removed</t> by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract | examples=remove a threat
2. definition=remove from a position or an office
3. definition=dispose of | examples=Get rid of these old shoes!
4. definition=cause to leave | examples=The teacher took the children out of the classroom
5. definition=shift the position or location of, as for business, legal, educational, or military purposes | examples=He removed his children to the countryside
6. definition=go away or leave | examples=He absented himself
7. definition=kill intentionally and with premeditation | examples=The mafia boss ordered his enemies murdered
8. definition=get rid of something abstract | examples=The death of her mother removed the last obstacle to their marriage

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of "remove" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is about medical context - specifically about cancer being "unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone)".

Let me analyze the sentence:
- "Alimta is used together with cisplatin... when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone)..."
- Here, "removed" refers to physically taking out the cancer/tumor through surgery.
- This is about removing something concrete (cancer/tumor) by surgery.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off, or remove something abstract | examples=remove a threat
   - This seems to fit. It mentions removing something concrete, which would include physical removal of a tumor/cancer through surgery.

2. definition=remove from a position or an office
   - This is about employment/positions. Not relevant here.

3. definition=dispose of | examples=Get rid of these old shoes!
   - This is about getting rid of something, often trash or unwanted items. While surgery removes cancer, "dispose of" usually implies discarding, not medical extraction. But sense 1 is more specific about concrete removal.

4. definition=cause to leave | examples=The teacher took the children out of the classroom
   - This is about causing someone/something to leave a place. Not quite right for surgical removal.

5. definition=shift the position or location of, as for business, legal, educational, or military purposes | examples=He removed his children to the countryside
   - This is about moving something to a different location. Not surgical removal.

6. definition=go away or leave | examples=He absented himself
   - Intransitive use - the subject is the one leaving. Here "cancer" is the object being removed.

7. definition=kill intentionally and with premeditation | examples=The mafia boss ordered his enemies murdered
   - This is about killing people. Not applicable to cancer removal (though it results in killing cancer cells, the primary meaning is physical extraction).

8. definition=get rid of something abstract | examples=The death of her mother removed the last obstacle to their marriage
   - This is specifically about abstract things. Cancer is concrete/physical, even though it's a disease.

The key distinction is between sense 1 and sense 8:
- Sense 1: remove something concrete, as by lifting, pushing, or taking off
- Sense 8: get rid of something abstract

Cancer is a physical tumor/concrete entity that is being physically extracted via surgery. Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

Even though cancer cells are biological, they constitute a concrete physical mass that is being surgically removed, not an abstract concept like an obstacle or threat (though "threat" is mentioned in the example for sense 1, the definition explicitly includes concrete things).

The phrase "removed by surgery" strongly implies physical extraction of a concrete object (the tumor/cancer).

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Let me analyze the sentence:
"Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by <t>surgery</t> alone)..."

Here, "surgery" refers to the medical procedure/operation to remove the cancer. It means a medical procedure involving an incision with instruments to repair damage or arrest disease.

Let me check the senses:
1. Branch of medical science (the field of surgery) - This would be like "he studies surgery." Not this one.
2. A room where a doctor/dentist can be consulted (British English usage) - Not this one.
3. A room in a hospital equipped for operations (operating room) - Not this one.
4. A medical procedure involving an incision with instruments; performed to repair damage or arrest disease in a living body - This matches. The context is "removed by surgery alone" meaning by a surgical procedure/operation.

So the answer is 4.

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery <t>alone</t>)..."

The word "alone" here is in the context "cannot be removed by surgery alone". This means surgery by itself, without other treatments or methods.

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=isolated from others | examples=could be alone in a crowded room
   - This refers to physical isolation or being by oneself in a space. Not the right meaning here.

2. definition=lacking companions or companionship | examples=he was alone when we met him
   - This refers to being without other people. Not the right meaning here.

3. definition=exclusive of anyone or anything else | examples=she alone believed him
   - This means "only" or "by itself". The example "she alone believed him" means only she believed him, exclusive of others.
   - In the sentence, "cannot be removed by surgery alone" means surgery by itself (exclusive of other treatments) cannot remove it. This matches sense 3.

4. definition=radically distinctive and without equal | examples=he is alone in the field of microbiology
   - This means unique or unparalleled. Not the right meaning here.

So the correct sense is 3.

The phrase "surgery alone" means surgery by itself, without other treatments, which fits definition 3: "exclusive of anyone or anything else".

The answer should be 3.

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

The sentence is: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has <t>spread</t>, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body)..."

The word "spread" here refers to cancer spreading to other parts of the body. This means the cancer is moving or extending from one part of the body to other parts.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. distribute or disperse widely - This is about distributing something actively (transitive). The cancer is spreading itself? Or is it becoming spread?

2. become distributed or widespread - This is intransitive. "the infection spread" - this matches the pattern of cancer spreading. The cancer becomes distributed to other parts.

3. spread across or over - This seems more about covering a surface. "A big oil spot spread across the water"

4. spread out or open from a closed or folded state - This is about physical unfolding, like a map.

5. cause to become widely known - This is about information (transitive).

6. become widely known and passed on - This is about rumors or information becoming known.

7. strew or distribute over an area - This is transitive, like spreading fertilizer.

8. move outward - "The soldiers fanned out" - This could work. Cancer moving outward from the original site.

9. cover by spreading something over - Transitive, like spreading butter on bread.

10. distribute over a surface in a layer - Also transitive, like spreading cheese.

Now, looking at the specific usage: "has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body"

The subject is "the cancer" (implied from "malignant"). The cancer has spread to other parts. This is an intransitive use.

Definition 2: "become distributed or widespread" - examples: "the infection spread"
Definition 8: "move outward" - examples: "The soldiers fanned out"

Between 2 and 8:

Definition 2 focuses on becoming distributed or widespread. This fits well with cancer spreading to other parts of the body - it becomes distributed throughout the body.

Definition 8 focuses on moving outward. While cancer does move outward, the phrase "spread to other parts of the body" emphasizes the distribution to multiple locations.

Looking at the example for definition 2: "the infection spread" - infections spreading is very similar to cancer spreading.

Looking at definition 8: "The soldiers fanned out" - this is about moving outward from a center, but "spread" in the cancer sense is more about extending to other areas/distributing itself.

Actually, let me reconsider definition 3: "spread across or over" - example: "A big oil spot spread across the water". This is also intransitive and about something expanding over an area.

But the key phrase is "spread to other parts" - this indicates movement to other locations, not just expanding across a surface.

Definition 2 seems most appropriate: "become distributed or widespread". The cancer becomes distributed to other parts of the body.

Wait, let me look at definition 8 again: "move outward". The example is "The soldiers fanned out".

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions for "spread" when referring to disease:
- (of a disease) be communicated or transmitted to other people or places
- extend over a large or increasing area

Definition 2 says "become distributed or widespread" which captures the idea of the cancer cells distributing themselves to other parts.

Definition 8 "move outward" is more about directional movement from a center.

In medical contexts, when we say cancer has "spread," we mean it has metastasized or become distributed to other parts of the body.

Definition 2's example "the infection spread" is the closest parallel to "the cancer has spread."

Therefore, the answer should be 2.

But let me double-check if there's any other possibility.

Definition 1: "distribute or disperse widely" - this would be transitive. But in the sentence, "has spread" is intransitive (or passive?). Actually, "has spread" could be passive of "spread" (transitive), but in context, cancer spreads itself? No, we usually say the cancer spreads (intransitive) meaning it extends to other areas.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body)"

The cancer is the subject. "The cancer has spread to other parts." This is intransitive.

So definitions 1, 5, 7, 9, 10 are transitive and can be eliminated.

Remaining: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.

4 is about folding/unfolding - eliminate.
6 is about rumors/information becoming known - eliminate (though metaphorically similar, cancer isn't "known" or "passed on" in the rumor sense).

Remaining: 2, 3, 8.

3: "spread across or over" - A big oil spot spread across the water. This suggests covering a continuous area. But cancer spreading to other parts suggests discrete locations (metastases), not necessarily a continuous spread across a surface. Though it could work.

8: "move outward" - The soldiers fanned out. This suggests radial movement from a center.

2: "become distributed or widespread" - the infection spread. This suggests becoming present in many places.

For cancer metastasis, definition 2 is the most accurate. Cancer cells break off and become distributed to other parts of the body, making the disease widespread.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is <t>likely</t> to spread easily, to other parts of the body)..."

The word "likely" here is used in the context: "is likely to spread easily to other parts of the body."

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=has a good chance of being the case or of coming about | examples=these services are likely to be available to us all before long
   - This seems to fit. "likely to spread" means "has a good chance of spreading."

2. definition=likely but not certain to be or become true or real | examples=a likely result
   - This is more about describing something as probable in a general sense, like "a likely story" or "a likely candidate." The example "a likely result" suggests it's used as an adjective modifying a noun directly. In our sentence, "likely" is used with "to spread" - it's part of the construction "is likely to [verb]."

3. definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | examples=potential clients
   - This seems to be about potential or prospective things. The example "potential clients" suggests this is about things that could happen or people who could become clients. But "likely" in our sentence is about probability, not just potential.

4. definition=within the realm of credibility | examples=not a very likely excuse
   - This is about believability or credibility, like "that's not likely" meaning "that's not believable." This doesn't fit the medical context about cancer spreading.

Now, looking more carefully at sense 1 vs sense 2:

Sense 1: "has a good chance of being the case or of coming about" - this specifically mentions "coming about" and the example uses "likely to be available" - so it's about the probability of an event occurring.

Sense 2: "likely but not certain to be or become true or real" - this is more about the truth value or reality of something. The example "a likely result" uses it as an attributive adjective.

In the sentence: "is likely to spread easily"
- This is the construction: "be likely to [verb]"
- This matches sense 1's example: "likely to be available"
- Sense 1 mentions "coming about" which fits "spread" (an event/action)

Sense 2 seems to be about describing nouns directly (attributive use): "a likely result", "a likely candidate", "a likely story."

Sense 1 is about the predicative use with "to" infinitive: "is likely to [verb]" = "has a good chance of [verb-ing]."

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

Wait, let me double-check the exact wording of sense 1: "has a good chance of being the case or of coming about"
And the example: "these services are likely to be available to us all before long"

Yes, "is likely to spread" matches "are likely to be available" - both use the "be likely to [verb]" construction indicating probability of an event occurring.

Sense 2: "likely but not certain to be or become true or real" - this could potentially fit, but the example "a likely result" suggests it's used as an adjective before a noun. Also, the definition mentions "to be or become true or real" which is slightly different from "to spread" (an action).

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions, "likely" in the construction "be likely to" usually corresponds to the sense of probability or chance.

Sense 1 explicitly mentions "coming about" which fits actions/events like spreading.
Sense 2 focuses on "being true or real" which fits states or conditions.

The cancer spreading is an event/process, so sense 1 is better.

Also, looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "likely to be available" - uses "to be" (a state, but "available" is a state that "comes about")
- Sense 2 example: "a likely result" - modifies a noun directly

In our target sentence, "likely" is used predicatively with "to spread": "is likely to spread"

This is classic sense 1 usage.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to <t>spread</t> easily, to other parts of the body)..."

The context is about cancer spreading to other parts of the body. This means the cancer is moving/growing outward from its original location to other areas.

Let me look at the senses:

1. distribute or disperse widely - transitive, agent distributes something. Here cancer spreads itself? Not quite, but could be. Example: invaders spread language. Active agent.
2. become distributed or widespread - intransitive, something becomes widespread. Example: infection spread. This fits well with cancer spreading.
3. spread across or over - example: oil spot spread across water. This is about covering a surface.
4. spread out or open - physical unfolding.
5. cause to become widely known - transitive, information.
6. become widely known - intransitive, rumor.
7. strew or distribute over an area - transitive, spreading fertilizer.
8. move outward - example: soldiers fanned out. This is about moving outward from a center.
9. cover by spreading something over - transitive.
10. distribute over a surface in a layer - transitive.

Now, the specific usage: "cancer ... is likely to spread easily to other parts of the body"

Is this sense 2 or 8?

Sense 2: "become distributed or widespread" - example: the infection spread. This refers to something becoming more widespread generally.
Sense 8: "move outward" - example: The soldiers fanned out. This refers to moving from a center outward.

Cancer spreading to other parts of the body is often described as metastasizing, which is the process of cancer cells moving from the primary site to other parts. But in terms of general English senses, "spread" here means to extend over a larger area or to more locations.

Let me reconsider the exact wording. The cancer is likely to "spread" easily to other parts of the body.

Sense 2: "become distributed or widespread" - This is intransitive. The subject (cancer) becomes distributed or widespread.
Sense 3: "spread across or over" - This might require a prepositional phrase indicating the surface, but the example is "A big oil spot spread across the water".
Sense 8: "move outward" - This implies directional movement from a center.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary senses (likely WordNet based on the format), let me think about which sense ID corresponds to what.

These look like WordNet synsets. Let me recall WordNet senses for "spread":

WordNet 3.0/3.1 senses for verb "spread":
1. distribute, spread (distribute or disperse widely) - "The invaders spread their language"
2. spread, propagate (become distributed or widespread) - "the infection spread"
3. spread, overspread (spread across or over) - "A big oil spot spread across the water"
4. unfold, spread, spread out, open (spread out or open from a closed or folded state) - "open the map"
5. circulate, circularize, circularise, distribute, disseminate, propagate, broadcast, spread, diffuse, disperse, pass around (cause to become widely known) - "spread information"
6. go around, spread, circulate (become widely known and passed on) - "the rumor spread"
7. spread, scatter, spread out (strew or distribute over an area) - "He spread fertilizer over the lawn"
8. spread, fan out (move outward) - "The soldiers fanned out"
9. spread (cover by spreading something over) - "spread the bread with cheese"
10. spread (distribute over a surface in a layer) - "spread cheese on a piece of bread"

Wait, the example for sense 8 is "The soldiers fanned out" which is about people/things moving outward from a point. Cancer spreading to other parts of the body could be seen as moving outward, but it's more about becoming distributed/widespread.

However, sense 3 "spread across or over" has example "A big oil spot spread across the water". Cancer spreading to other parts of the body - is it spreading across the body? The sentence says "spread ... to other parts of the body".

Sense 2: "become distributed or widespread" - the infection spread. Cancer is like an infection in this context. "The cancer has spread" is very similar to "the infection spread".

Sense 8: "move outward" - soldiers fanned out. This is more about dispersal from a point in space.

I think sense 2 is the best fit. But let me double-check.

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body"

In medical contexts, when we say cancer "spreads", we mean it metastasizes - it extends to new areas. In WordNet, sense 2 is "become distributed or widespread" with example "the infection spread". Sense 3 is "spread across or over" with example "A big oil spot spread across the water".

Wait, is there a sense that includes "spread to"? The preposition "to" might be important.

Sense 2 example: "the infection spread" (intransitive, no destination specified, though it could take "to")
Sense 3 example: "spread across the water" (takes "across")
Sense 8 example: "fanned out" (directional, but usually doesn't take "to")

Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "is likely to spread easily to other parts of the body"

If I look at sense 2: "become distributed or widespread" - this captures the idea of becoming more widespread in the body.
If I look at sense 8: "move outward" - this captures movement from the original tumor to other parts.

But in WordNet, sense 2 (spread, propagate) is specifically for things like diseases, ideas, etc. becoming distributed. The example "the infection spread" is very close to "the cancer spread".

Sense 3 (spread, overspread) is more about covering a surface.

Sense 8 (spread, fan out) is about physical movement outward.

Cancer cells do physically move, but the usage "cancer spreads" is almost always categorized under the "become distributed or widespread" sense in lexical databases, similar to diseases, fire, etc.

Let me verify by considering "has spread" earlier in the same sentence. "the cancer ... malignant (has spread ... to other parts of the body)". This is the same sense.

I believe the answer is 2.

Wait, let me reconsider if it could be 8. "move outward" - "The soldiers fanned out". If cancer spreads to other parts, it is moving outward from the original location. But "fan out" implies spreading in multiple directions from a point. Cancer spreading to other parts of the body is somewhat similar. However, the defining characteristic is that it becomes distributed/widespread (sense 2), not just that it moves outward.

Also, in the sentence, "spread" is used with "easily" and "to other parts". The phrase "spread easily" is very commonly used with diseases and sense 2.

Let me check if there's any chance it's sense 3: "spread across or over". The sentence uses "to other parts", not "across" or "over".

Sense 2 seems most appropriate.

Actually, I want to be very careful. Let me look at the exact WordNet glosses again mentally:

Sense 1: distribute or disperse widely (transitive)
Sense 2: become distributed or widespread (intransitive) - "the infection spread"
Sense 3: spread across or over - "A big oil spot spread across the water"
Sense 4: unfold...
Sense 5: cause to become widely known
Sense 6: become widely known and passed on - rumor
Sense 7: strew or distribute over an area - spread fertilizer
Sense 8: move outward - "The soldiers fanned out"
Sense 9: cover by spreading something over - spread bread with cheese
Sense 10: distribute over a surface in a layer - spread cheese on bread

The question is whether cancer spreading to other body parts is sense 2 or 8.

In many lexical semantic tasks, "disease spreads" maps to sense 2. The key distinction is that sense 2 is about distribution/widespread occurrence, while sense 8 is about physical entities moving outward in space.

Cancer in this context is being talked about like a disease condition. "Has spread ... to other parts" = has become distributed to other parts. This is sense 2.

Also, if it were sense 8, the example would likely be more about physical expansion from a point. But "spread to other parts" emphasizes the result (distributed to new locations) rather than the manner of movement (outward).

Therefore, the answer should be 2.

One more check: Could it be sense 3? "spread across or over"? No, because it says "to other parts", not "across the body" (though it means that implicitly). But the syntax and the specific sense definitions make 2 better.

I'll go with 2.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread <t>easily</t>, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=with ease (`easy' is sometimes used informally for `easily') | examples=she was easily excited
2. definition=without question | examples=easily the best book she's written
3. definition=indicating high probability; in all likelihood | examples=I might well do it

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

Let me analyze the sentence:
"Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread <t>easily</t>, to other parts of the body)..."

The word "easily" here modifies "spread" - describing how the cancer spreads. The context is about cancer spreading to other parts of the body.

Let me look at the three senses:

1. "with ease" - This means without difficulty, readily, or without trouble. In the context of cancer spreading, if it spreads "easily," it means it spreads without difficulty, readily, or with ease.

2. "without question" - This is used for emphasis, like "easily the best." This doesn't fit here because we're not comparing or emphasizing that something is unquestionably the case in terms of degree.

3. "indicating high probability; in all likelihood" - This is about likelihood or probability, similar to "well" in "I might well do it."

Now, looking at the sentence structure: "is likely to spread easily to other parts of the body"

Wait, let me look carefully. The phrase is: "has spread, or is likely to spread <t>easily</t>, to other parts of the body"

Actually, looking at the context, "malignant" is defined here as "has spread, or is likely to spread easily to other parts of the body."

So "easily" is describing the manner of spreading - meaning it spreads without difficulty, readily.

But let me reconsider sense 3: "indicating high probability; in all likelihood"

Is "easily" here being used to mean "probably" or "likely"?

Let me think about the phrase "is likely to spread easily."

If "easily" meant "probably" (sense 3), then we'd have "is likely to spread probably" which would be redundant and awkward.

If "easily" means "with ease" (sense 1), then it means the cancer spreads without difficulty - which makes medical sense. Malignant cancers spread easily (readily, without difficulty) to other parts of the body.

Sense 2 "without question" doesn't fit because we're not saying "easily the most spread" or something like that.

So sense 1 seems correct: "with ease" - describing the manner in which the cancer spreads.

Wait, let me double-check the exact wording: "is likely to spread easily"

Actually, looking at it again, could "easily" be modifying "likely"? No, the syntax is "is likely to spread easily" - so "easily" modifies "spread."

So: "is likely to [spread easily]" = "is likely to [spread with ease]"

This makes sense. Malignant tumors are characterized by their ability to spread easily (readily, without difficulty) to other parts of the body.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

But let me reconsider if there's any ambiguity with sense 3. Sense 3 examples include "I might well do it" where "well" indicates probability. Could "easily" be used similarly?

"I might easily do it" - yes, that can mean "I might very well do it" or "I might probably do it."

But in the sentence "is likely to spread easily," if "easily" meant "probably," we'd have "is likely to spread probably" which is redundant.

Whereas "is likely to spread with ease" makes perfect sense.

Also, looking at the definition of malignant in medical contexts: malignant means tending to spread to other parts of the body, or to recur after removal; cancerous.

So "spread easily" here means spread readily, without difficulty - sense 1.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to <t>other</t> parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day
2. definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

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

 Let me look at the sentence:
 "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to <t>other</t> parts of the body)..."

 The phrase is "other parts of the body". This means parts of the body that are different from the ones already mentioned or implied (i.e., not the primary location of the cancer).

 Now let me look at the senses:

 1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day
    - This matches "other parts" meaning parts different from the ones being discussed (the primary cancer location).

 2. definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
    - This refers to time, like "the other day". Not applicable here.

 3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
    - This doesn't match at all.

 4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail
    - This is a more poetic or metaphorical use meaning "strange" or "different in a supernatural way". Not applicable to "parts of the body" in a medical context.

 So sense 1 is the correct one. "Other parts of the body" means parts of the body that are not the same as the ones already mentioned (the primary tumor location).

 The answer is 1.

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

Let me look at the sentence:
"Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other <t>parts</t> of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The phrase is "other parts of the body". This refers to different regions or areas of the body.

Now let me look at the senses:

1. something determined in relation to something that includes it - This is about being a member or component of a group, like "part of the team". Not quite right for physical body parts.

2. something less than the whole of a human artifact - This is about man-made objects like "part of the house". The body is natural, not an artifact.

3. a portion of a natural object - Examples: "they analyzed the river into three parts". The body is a natural object, and "parts of the body" would be portions of it. This seems like a strong candidate.

4. that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation - This is about responsibility or involvement, like "on my part". Not physical.

5. the extended spatial location of something - Examples: "the farming regions of France". This refers to regions or areas. "Parts of the body" could fit here as spatial locations/regions of the body.

6. the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group - This is about roles/functions, like "the function of a teacher". Not physical parts.

7. an actor's portrayal of someone in a play - This is about acting roles. Not relevant.

8. assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group - This is about shares or portions of assets/money. Not relevant.

9. one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole - Examples: "the written part of the exam". This is about segments or sections of a whole. This could work for "parts of the body" - the body divided into portions.

10. a line of scalp that can be seen when sections of hair are combed in opposite directions - Very specific, about hair parting. Not relevant.

11. the melody carried by a particular voice or instrument in polyphonic music - Musical parts. Not relevant.

12. the part played by a person in bringing about a result - Contribution or role. Not relevant.

Now I need to decide between 3, 5, and 9.

Sense 3: "a portion of a natural object" - The body is a natural object. "Parts of the body" are portions of that natural object.

Sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something" - This seems to refer to regions or areas, like geographical regions. While "parts of the body" could be considered spatial locations, this sense seems more about extended regions or territories.

Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" - This is a very general sense of part as a subdivision. It could apply to the body.

Let me look more carefully at the definitions and examples:

Sense 3: "a portion of a natural object" | examples="they analyzed the river into three parts"
- The body is a natural object. "Parts of the body" like organs, limbs, etc. are portions of the natural object (the body).

Sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something" | examples="the farming regions of France"
- This seems to be about regions or tracts of land/space. "Parts of the body" in the context of cancer spreading could mean different regions/areas of the body. But is the body an "extended spatial location"? Maybe, but this sense seems more geographical.

Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" | examples="the written part of the exam"
- This is a very abstract/general sense of subdivision.

In medical contexts, when we say "parts of the body" referring to where cancer spreads, we usually mean anatomical regions or portions of the body.

Let me think about WordNet senses (which this seems to be based on). In WordNet, "part" has many senses.

Sense 3 seems to match WordNet sense 3: "a portion of a natural object" - "he examined the rock in detail, noting its different parts" or similar.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "they analyzed the river into three parts" - this is about dividing a natural object (river) into parts.

For "parts of the body", the body is a natural object, and the parts are portions of it.

Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" - This is WordNet sense 1 or 2 usually. The example "the written part of the exam" suggests a component or section of a larger whole, often abstract or organized.

But "parts of the body" is more physical.

Let me reconsider sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something" - example "the farming regions of France". This is WordNet sense 4 maybe? "region, part" - the extended spatial location of something.

Actually, looking at standard WordNet definitions:
- Sense 3 here looks like WordNet 3.0 sense 3: "a portion of a natural object"
- Sense 5 here looks like WordNet 3.0 sense 4: "that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation" - no wait, that's sense 4 here.

Let me map them:
1. part, portion, component part, component, constituent - something determined in relation to something that includes it
2. part, portion - something less than the whole of a human artifact
3. part, piece - a portion of a natural object
4. part - that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation
5. region, part - the extended spatial location of something
6. function, office, part, role - the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group
7. character, role, theatrical role, part, persona - an actor's portrayal of someone in a play
8. share, portion, part, percentage - assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group
9. part, section, division - one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole
10. part, parting - a line of scalp that can be seen when sections of hair are combed in opposite directions
11. part, voice - the melody carried by a particular voice or instrument in polyphonic music
12. contribution, part, share - the part played by a person in bringing about a result

So for "parts of the body" in the context of cancer spreading to other parts of the body:

This refers to different regions or areas of the body, or different portions of the body.

Sense 3: "a portion of a natural object" - the body is a natural object, parts are portions.
Sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something" - this is "region, part" in WordNet.
Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" - this is "part, section, division".

In medical contexts, "parts of the body" usually refers to anatomical parts or regions.

Sense 3 seems most appropriate for physical parts of a natural object (the body). The body is a natural object (not an artifact), and "parts" here refers to portions of it (like organs, tissues, regions).

Sense 5 is about spatial locations/regions, which could work, but the example "the farming regions of France" suggests geographical regions rather than anatomical parts.

Sense 9 is very general and abstract.

The phrase "other parts of the body" in the context of cancer spreading suggests different areas or regions of the body where the cancer might go. But anatomically, we refer to these as parts of the body.

Let me check the exact wording of sense 3 again: "a portion of a natural object" with example "they analyzed the river into three parts".

The body is definitely a natural object. And "parts of the body" are portions of that natural object.

Sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something" with example "the farming regions of France". This is about regions.

Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully:
- Sense 3 (piece, part) is defined as "a portion of a natural object" - this fits body parts well.
- Sense 5 (region, part) is defined as "the extended spatial location of something" - this also could fit, as "parts of the body" could mean regions.

But in the context of cancer spreading, "other parts of the body" means other areas or regions of the body. However, the most common classification for "parts of the body" in word sense disambiguation tasks is usually sense 3 (portion of a natural object) or sense 9 (portion of a whole).

Wait, let me look at sense 9 again: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole". This is very general. The example is "the written part of the exam". This is about sections of a test.

For physical objects, especially natural ones, sense 3 is more specific and appropriate.

But let me reconsider the sentence: "spread easily, to other parts of the body"

In medical terminology, when cancer spreads to other "parts" of the body, it means other regions, areas, or sites in the body.

Sense 5 (region, part) might actually be the best fit because:
- Definition: "the extended spatial location of something"
- Example: "the farming regions of France"
- "Parts of the body" as spatial locations/regions of the body.

However, sense 3 is also strong: "a portion of a natural object".

Let me think about the distinction. Sense 3 emphasizes that it's a natural object (not artificial). Sense 2 is for human artifacts. Sense 3 is for natural objects like rivers, rocks, trees, bodies.

Sense 5 is about spatial extent/location.

In the sentence, "parts of the body" refers to different areas/regions of the body. But the body itself is the natural object, and the parts are portions of it.

Actually, looking at standard WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation) datasets like SemCor or WordNet examples:

For "parts of the body", which sense is used?

In WordNet, "part" sense 3 (piece, part) has examples like: "he needed a piece of granite" or similar? Let me recall.

Actually, WordNet 3.0:
- Sense 3: "part, piece" - a portion of a natural object; "they analyzed the river into three parts"; "he needed a piece of granite"
- Sense 5: "region, part" - the extended spatial location of something; "the farming regions of France"; "religions in all parts of the world"

"Religions in all parts of the world" - this is similar to "parts of the body". It refers to regions/areas.

But "parts of the body" is very commonly used with sense 3 (anatomical parts as portions of the body).

However, looking at the specific context: "spread easily, to other parts of the body" - this is about the spatial distribution or location of the cancer. It spreads to other regions/locations of the body.

But I think sense 3 is the most accurate. The body is a natural object. The parts are portions of it.

Wait, let me check if there's a specific sense for body parts. In WordNet, "body part" is a separate entry, but here we're looking at "part".

Actually, looking at the options again, sense 3 says "a portion of a natural object" and gives the example of a river. The body is a natural object.

Sense 9 says "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole". This is more abstract.

Between 3 and 5:
- 3: portion of natural object (physical piece)
- 5: extended spatial location (region/area)

"Parts of the body" in the cancer context could be either, but I think 3 is better because:
1. The body is explicitly a natural object
2. "Parts" here refers to anatomical parts (organs, tissues, areas) which are portions of the body
3. Sense 5 is more about geographical or spatial regions

But let me reconsider sense 5. The example "the farming regions of France" shows it's about areas/regions. "Other parts of the body" = other regions of the body. This fits well.

However, in WordNet, sense 3 (part, piece) is specifically for portions of natural objects, which includes body parts.

Let me look for clues in the wording. The definition of sense 3 is "a portion of a natural object". The body is a natural object. The parts are portions of it.

The definition of sense 5 is "the extended spatial location of something". This is more about where something is located spatially.

When we say cancer spreads to other parts of the body, we mean it spreads to other portions/sections of the body.

I think the answer is 3.

But wait, I should also consider sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole". This is a very general sense that could apply to almost anything. However, sense 3 is more specific for natural objects.

In WSD tasks, more specific senses are preferred when they fit.

Let me verify with the example for sense 3: "they analyzed the river into three parts". This is dividing a natural object into parts.

Similarly, the body can be divided into parts (head, torso, limbs, organs, etc.).

So sense 3 seems correct.

However, I want to double-check sense 5. Is "parts of the body" ever sense 5 (region)?

In WordNet, sense 5 (region, part) examples include: "in all parts of the world", "the farming regions of France".

"Parts of the world" is similar to "parts of the body" - both refer to regions/areas.

But "parts of the body" is more commonly considered as sense 3 (pieces/portions of the natural object).

Actually, looking at the distinction:
- Sense 3: physical pieces of a natural thing (like a piece of rock, a section of river)
- Sense 5: spatial regions or areas (like parts of the world, parts of a country)

The body is a single organism. When cancer spreads to other parts, it could mean:
1. Other organs or tissues (physical portions - sense 3)
2. Other regions/areas (spatial locations - sense 5)

In medical English, "parts of the body" usually refers to anatomical structures or regions. But given the options, and that the body is a natural object, sense 3 is the best fit.

Let me also consider if it could be sense 9. "One of the portions into which something is regarded as divided". The body can be divided into parts. But sense 3 is more specific because it mentions "natural object".

I think the answer is 3.

But I want to be careful. Let me look at the exact sentence again: "spread easily, to other <t>parts</t> of the body"

The phrase "parts of the body" is a very common collocation. In WordNet, which sense does it belong to?

After checking my knowledge of WordNet:
- "part" sense 3: portion of a natural object - examples include parts of a plant, parts of an animal body
- "part" sense 5: region - examples include parts of the world, parts of a country

Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0 data:
Sense 3 (part, piece): "a portion of a natural object; 'they analyzed the river into three parts'; 'he needed a piece of granite'"
Sense 5 (region, part): "the extended spatial location of something; 'the farming regions of France'; 'religions in all parts of the world'; 'regions of outer space'"

The phrase "parts of the world" is sense 5.
The phrase "parts of the body" - is it more like "parts of the world" (regions) or "parts of a river" (portions of natural object)?

I think "parts of the body" is sense 3 because:
1. The body is a natural object (like a river or rock)
2. The parts are physical portions of that object
3. While "parts of the world" refers to geographical regions (sense 5), "parts of the body" refers to anatomical parts which are portions of the organism

However, there's ambiguity. But given the choices, and that sense 3 explicitly mentions "natural object" (which the body is), while sense 5 is about "extended spatial location" (which is more geographical), sense 3 is better.

Also, sense 2 is for human artifacts (man-made things), so it's definitely not that.
Sense 9 is very abstract and the example "the written part of the exam" suggests it's for abstract divisions or components of a system/test.

Therefore, the answer should be 3.

Wait, I should also consider if "parts" here could mean "regions" in the sense of anatomical regions. In anatomy, we talk about regions of the body. If the text means cancer spreading to different regions, sense 5 might be appropriate.

But looking at the definition of sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something". This is about the location of something. "Parts of the body" are not the location of something; they are components of the body.

Actually, "the extended spatial location of something" - this defines "region". So sense 5 is the "region" sense of "part".

Is "parts of the body" referring to regions? Possibly.

But let's look at the example for sense 3 again: "they analyzed the river into three parts". This is about dividing something into parts.

The body is divided into parts (head, neck, chest, abdomen, limbs, etc.). These are portions of the natural object.

I think 3 is the intended answer.

Let me also check if there's any chance it's sense 9. "One of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole". This is a very general definition. The body is divided into parts. This could work. But sense 3 is more specific and accurate for a natural object like the body.

In multiple choice WSD questions like this, the specific sense (3) usually trumps the general sense (9) when the specific conditions are met (natural object).

Therefore, I will go with 3.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the <t>body</t>), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=the entire structure of an organism (an animal, plant, or human being) | examples=he felt as if his whole body were on fire
2. definition=a group of persons associated by some common tie or occupation and regarded as an entity | examples=the whole body filed out of the auditorium
3. definition=a natural object consisting of a dead animal or person | examples=they found the body in the lake
4. definition=an individual 3-dimensional object that has mass and that is distinguishable from other objects | examples=heavenly body
5. definition=the body excluding the head and neck and limbs | examples=they moved their arms and legs and bodies
6. definition=a collection of particulars considered as a system | examples=a body of law
7. definition=the property of holding together and retaining its shape | examples=wool has more body than rayon
8. definition=the central message of a communication | examples=the body of the message was short
9. definition=the main mass of a thing
10. definition=a resonating chamber in a musical instrument (as the body of a violin)
11. definition=the external structure of a vehicle | examples=the body of the car was badly rusted

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

The sentence is: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the <t>body</t>), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The key phrase is "other parts of the body" - this refers to the physical human body, specifically the organism.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. definition=the entire structure of an organism (an animal, plant, or human being) | examples=he felt as if his whole body were on fire
2. definition=a group of persons associated by some common tie or occupation and regarded as an entity | examples=the whole body filed out of the auditorium
3. definition=a natural object consisting of a dead animal or person | examples=they found the body in the lake
4. definition=an individual 3-dimensional object that has mass and that is distinguishable from other objects | examples=heavenly body
5. definition=the body excluding the head and neck and limbs | examples=they moved their arms and legs and bodies
6. definition=a collection of particulars considered as a system | examples=a body of law
7. definition=the property of holding together and retaining its shape | examples=wool has more body than rayon
8. definition=the central message of a communication | examples=the body of the message was short
9. definition=the main mass of a thing
10. definition=a resonating chamber in a musical instrument (as the body of a violin)
11. definition=the external structure of a vehicle | examples=the body of the car was badly rusted

In the sentence, "other parts of the body" refers to the human organism - the entire physical structure of the patient. This matches definition 1: "the entire structure of an organism (an animal, plant, or human being)".

Definition 5 is "the body excluding the head and neck and limbs" - this is the torso/trunk. But the sentence says "other parts of the body" in the context of cancer spreading, which means different locations/regions of the organism, not specifically the torso.

Definition 1 is the most general and appropriate for "parts of the body" referring to the human organism as a whole.

So the answer should be 1.

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 used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in <t>patients</t> who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

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 numbered sense of "patient" is used in the given sentence. The word "patient" is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

Let me analyze the sentence:
"Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in <t>patients</t> who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The word "patients" here refers to people who are receiving medical treatment (specifically for cancer). They are people who require medical care.

Now let's look at the two senses provided:
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

Sense 1 is the common noun meaning - a person receiving medical treatment.
Sense 2 is a linguistic/semantic role term (like in "patient" as a grammatical term, similar to "agent", "theme", etc.).

In the sentence, "patients" clearly refers to actual human beings who are sick and receiving treatment, not to a semantic role in linguistics.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (<t>medicines</t> for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques
2. definition=(medicine) something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease
3. definition=the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school and that is devoted to preventing or alleviating or curing diseases and injuries | examples=he studied medicine at Harvard
4. definition=punishment for one's actions | examples=you have to face the music

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

 Let me look at the sentence:
 "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (<t>medicines</t> for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

 The marked word is "medicines" (plural of medicine) in the context: "chemotherapy (<t>medicines</t> for cancer)".

 Now let me look at the senses:

 1. "the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques" - This refers to the field of medicine as a branch of science, not a substance.

 2. "(medicine) something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease" - This refers to a substance or drug used to treat disease. The example shows it's about a physical treatment.

 3. "the learned profession that is mastered by graduate training in a medical school and that is devoted to preventing or alleviating or curing diseases and injuries | examples=he studied medicine at Harvard" - This refers to the profession or field of study.

 4. "punishment for one's actions | examples=you have to face the music" - This is an idiomatic usage.

 In the sentence, "medicines" is used in the context of "chemotherapy medicines for cancer". Chemotherapy involves drugs/substances used to treat cancer. So "medicines" here refers to substances that treat disease.

 Looking at sense 2: "something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease" - this fits perfectly. Chemotherapy medicines are substances/drugs used to treat cancer.

 Sense 1 is about the branch of medical science (nonsurgical techniques).
 Sense 3 is about the profession.
 Sense 4 is about punishment.

 The context is clearly referring to pharmaceutical substances used in chemotherapy treatment.

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for <t>cancer</t>) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
2. definition=(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer
3. definition=a small zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere; between Leo and Gemini
4. definition=the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22

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

Let me look at the sentence:

The word in question is in the phrase "medicines for <t>cancer</t>".

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
2. definition=(astrology) a person who is born while the sun is in Cancer

4. definition=the fourth sign of the zodiac; the sun is in this sign from about June 21 to July 22
5. definition=type genus of the family Cancridae

The context is clearly medical. The sentence is talking about:
- Alimta (a medication)
- cisplatin (another anticancer medicine)
- unresectable cancer
- malignant cancer
- chemotherapy
- non-small cell lung cancer

The phrase "medicines for cancer" refers to medications used to treat the disease characterized by malignant growth or tumors.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct definition: "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream"

The other senses are related to astrology (2, 3, 4) or taxonomy (5 - crab genus), which don't fit the medical context.

So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before <t>advanced</t> or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=farther along in physical or mental development | examples=the child's skeletal age was classified as `advanced'
2. definition=comparatively late in a course of development | examples=the illness had reached an advanced stage
3. definition=ahead of the times | examples=the advanced teaching methods
4. definition=at a higher level in training or knowledge or skill | examples=an advanced degree
5. definition=ahead in development; complex or intricate | examples=advanced technology
6. definition=far along in time | examples=a man of advanced age
7. definition=(of societies) highly developed especially in technology or industry | examples=advanced societies
8. definition=situated ahead or going before | examples=an advance party

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "advanced" is used in the given sentence. I need to look at the context of the word "advanced" in the sentence and match it to the correct definition.

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before <t>advanced</t> or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The word "advanced" here is describing "non-small cell lung cancer". In medical contexts, when we say "advanced cancer", it means the cancer has progressed to a later stage in its course of development.

Let me look at the senses:
1. farther along in physical or mental development - this is about a child's development, not quite right for cancer stage.
2. comparatively late in a course of development - examples: "the illness had reached an advanced stage". This fits perfectly. "Advanced cancer" means the cancer is at a late stage in its development.
3. ahead of the times - teaching methods, etc. Not relevant.
4. at a higher level in training or knowledge or skill - degrees, etc. Not relevant.
5. ahead in development; complex or intricate - technology. Not quite right for cancer.
6. far along in time - advanced age. This is about age/time, not disease progression specifically, though related.
7. (of societies) highly developed - societies. Not relevant.
8. situated ahead or going before - advance party. Not relevant.

Sense 2 specifically mentions "the illness had reached an advanced stage" as an example. The sentence is talking about advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which means lung cancer that has reached a late stage (unresectable, malignant, spread to other parts).

Sense 6 is "far along in time" with example "a man of advanced age". While cancer can be "far along in time", the specific medical usage of "advanced" for diseases maps better to sense 2: "comparatively late in a course of development".

Wait, let me reconsider. Is "advanced cancer" more about being "far along in time" (sense 6) or "comparatively late in a course of development" (sense 2)?

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Advanced cancer typically means cancer that has spread or is at a late stage.
- Sense 2: "comparatively late in a course of development" with the example "the illness had reached an advanced stage" is the exact usage.
- Sense 6 is more about age ("advanced age", "advanced years").

So the answer should be 2.

Let me double-check the sentence structure: "advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer". "Metastatic" means it has spread. "Advanced" here is parallel to metastatic, meaning late-stage. This aligns with sense 2.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small <t>cell</t> lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=any small compartment | examples=the cells of a honeycomb
2. definition=(biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals

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

"Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small **cell** lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The phrase "non-small cell lung cancer" is a medical term. In oncology, "non-small cell lung cancer" (NSCLC) is a type of lung cancer. The word "cell" here refers to biological cells - specifically, the classification is based on the size and appearance of the cancer cells under a microscope.

Let me look at the senses:
1. any small compartment (like honeycomb) - not biological
2. (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms - this is the biological definition
3. electric current device (battery) - not relevant
4. political movement unit - not relevant
5. mobile phone - not relevant
6. monk/nun room - not relevant
7. prison room - not relevant

In the medical context of "non-small cell lung cancer," the word "cell" refers to biological cells. This is sense #2: the basic structural and functional unit of organisms.

The sentence specifically mentions "non-small cell lung cancer" and contrasts it with affecting "squamous cells" (which are also biological cells). This confirms it's the biological sense.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not <t>affecting</t> the squamous cells.

Senses:
1. definition=have an effect upon | examples=Will the new rules affect me?
2. definition=act physically on; have an effect upon | examples=the medicine affects my heart rate
3. definition=connect closely and often incriminatingly | examples=This new ruling affects your business

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

Sentence: "Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not <t>affecting</t> the squamous cells."

Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=have an effect upon | examples=Will the new rules affect me?
2. definition=act physically on; have an effect upon | examples=the medicine affects my heart rate
3. definition=connect closely and often incriminatingly | examples=This new ruling affects your business
4. definition=make believe with the intent to deceive | examples=He feigned that he was ill
5. definition=have an emotional or cognitive impact upon | examples=This child impressed me as unusually mature

Wait, sense 4 seems wrong. "Affect" can mean to make a pretense of something, but the example "He feigned that he was ill" doesn't use the word "affect". Actually, "affect" as a verb can mean "to make a pretense of having or feeling (something)" but the example given is weird. However, the definition says "make believe with the intent to deceive". That's sense 4.

Sense 5: "have an emotional or cognitive impact upon". Example: "This child impressed me as unusually mature". Again, the example doesn't use "affect". But the definition is about emotional/cognitive impact.

Now, in the sentence, "advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells."

The cancer is not affecting the squamous cells. This means the cancer is not acting upon the squamous cells, not having a physical effect on them. This seems like sense 2: "act physically on; have an effect upon" with the example "the medicine affects my heart rate". The context is medical/physical. The cancer (a physical disease) is not affecting (acting physically on) the squamous cells.

Sense 1 is more general: "have an effect upon". Sense 2 is specifically "act physically on; have an effect upon". Given the medical context of cancer and cells, sense 2 seems more appropriate. However, sense 1 is also broad. Let's think carefully.

In WordNet or similar lexical databases, "affect" has several senses:
- Sense 1: have an effect upon (generic)
- Sense 2: act physically on (specific to physical action)
- Sense 3: involve or affect (as in "This new ruling affects your business") - actually "connect closely and often incriminatingly" sounds like the WordNet sense "involve, affect" maybe? Let's check. WordNet sense 3 for affect (verb) might be "involve, affect, regard" meaning "connect closely and often incriminatingly". Example: "This new ruling affects your business." That seems like a specific legal/business sense.

Sense 5: "have an emotional or cognitive impact upon" - this is like "move, strike, impress".

In the sentence, "cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells" - this is about a physical disease process influencing a specific cell type. This is clearly a physical effect. So sense 2 is the best match.

But wait, is there any ambiguity? Could it be sense 1? Sense 1 is the most general. Usually in word sense disambiguation tasks, if a more specific sense fits, it's preferred. The example for sense 2 is "the medicine affects my heart rate" which is exactly the same domain: medicine/physiology acting on body parts. The sentence is about cancer acting on cells. So sense 2.

Let me double-check the exact wording of the sentence: "advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells." This means the cancer is of a type that does not involve squamous cells. Wait, "non-small cell lung cancer" is a category that includes adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, etc. Squamous cell carcinoma is a different type. The sentence says "non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells." Actually, it might mean the cancer is not of the squamous cell type? No, the grammar is "non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells." That seems odd medically because non-small cell lung cancer includes squamous cell carcinoma. But maybe it means the cancer is not affecting (involving) the squamous cells? Or perhaps it's a poorly written sentence. Regardless, the word "affecting" here means "having a physical effect on" or "involving".

Wait, could sense 3 be relevant? "connect closely and often incriminatingly" - no, that's about involving in a legal sense. Not relevant.

Sense 5 is emotional/cognitive - not relevant.

Sense 4 is feigning - not relevant.

So it's between 1 and 2. The distinction:
1. have an effect upon (general)
2. act physically on; have an effect upon (physical)

Given the biological context (cancer and cells), sense 2 is the intended answer. The example for sense 2 ("the medicine affects my heart rate") parallels the structure: [medical condition/agent] affects [body part/cells].

Therefore, the answer is 2.

The user wants only the number. So I should return just "2".

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

 Sentence: "Alimta is <t>used</t> in combination with cisplatin in patients who have not been treated before, and on its own in patients who have received another type of chemotherapy in the past."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "Alimta" is a medication (pemetrexed)
 - It is being "used" in combination with cisplatin
 - This is about employing/administering the drug for a medical purpose

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose | examples=use your head!
    - This seems to fit. The drug is being put into service/employed for a particular purpose (treatment).

 2. definition=take or consume (regularly or habitually) | examples=She uses drugs rarely
    - This would be about a patient taking drugs. But here the subject is "Alimta" (the drug itself), not a person consuming it. Also, it's about medical administration, not habitual consumption by a patient in the sense of drug abuse or regular taking.

 3. definition=use up, consume fully | examples=The legislature expended its time on school questions
    - This means to exhaust or deplete. The sentence doesn't suggest Alimta is being used up or depleted.

 4. definition=seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage | examples=She uses her influential friends to get jobs
    - This is about exploiting something for personal advantage. The sentence is about medical treatment, not exploiting something for advantage.

 5. definition=avail oneself to | examples=apply a principle
    - This usually means to make use of something available to oneself. But here Alimta is the thing being used, not the one availing itself.

 6. definition=habitually do something (use only in the past tense) | examples=She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally
    - This is the "used to" construction indicating past habitual action. The sentence uses "is used" which is passive present, not "used to" indicating past habit.

 So sense 1 is the best fit: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose"

 The drug Alimta is being put into service/employed for the purpose of treating patients (in combination with cisplatin or on its own).

 The sentence structure is passive: "Alimta is used..." meaning someone (doctors/medical professionals) use Alimta for treatment.

 This matches sense 1 perfectly.
