Context:
The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present 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. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need <t>only</t> lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

We need solve WSD. Need pick best indexed sense for word 'only' with target sentence: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."
We need examine candidate senses. The clause "he need only lose the other copy". This is idiomatic "need only" meaning "needs merely/simply/just to lose ...". It's equivalent to "only need"? Let's parse: "he need only lose the other copy" = "he only needs to lose the other copy" = "he needs simply/merely to lose the other copy". The word only modifies the verb phrase "lose the other copy" with meaning = nothing more is needed than losing the other copy. Candidate sense definitions:
1. and nothing more | synonyms merely, simply, just, but. Examples: I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time. Fits "merely/simply": he need only lose = need simply/merely lose.
2. without any others being included or involved | synonyms entirely, exclusively, solely, alone. "He need only lose" not "entirely/exclusively lose".
3. with nevertheless the final result: He arrived only to find his wife dead. Not this construction, though "only to" can mean adversative result; here "need only lose" not result.
4. in the final outcome: Not this.
5. except that: Not.
6. never except when (only if/when): Not.
7. as recently as: Not.
So sense 1 best. The answer to return JSON {"sense_index": 1}.

Candidate senses include 1 written record reproduction, 2 thing made similar or identical, 3 matter to be printed, 4 journalistic material. None is biological allele exactly. Best fit among these? copy as thing made similar/identical (genes are inherited copies) sense 2? Let's examine. "copy" in genetics means one of two similar/identical versions of a gene inherited from each parent. This aligns with sense 2: a thing made to be similar or identical to another. Sense 1 transcript of written record doesn't fit. Sense 3 written matter/print. So answer index 2.

 We need choose best WordNet sense index for develop in the sentence: "he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop". Sense of develop here is "originate, arise, come into existence, take on form or shape". Could also be sense 5 (come into existence) or maybe 10 (grow, progress, unfold through natural growth/differentiation or conducive environment). Need pick single best. The phrase "a cancer to develop" in medical context: cancer arises/comes into existence. Let's analyze candidates.

Sense 5: develop%2:42:00 (change classification 42? stative?) definition come into existence; take on form or shape; synonyms originate, arise, rise, uprise, spring up, grow. Examples: A new religious movement originated in that country; a love that sprang up from friendship. Usually used for "a new meaning has developed"; "a friendship developed" maybe sense10.

Sense 10: develop%2:30:00 definition grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment. Examples: A flower developed on the branch; The country developed into a mighty superpower; This situation has developed over a long time. Also common for disease: "The patient developed symptoms" - that's sense 4 come to have or undergo a change of physical features and attributes. For cancer: "cancer develops" often sense "grow/evolve"? Let's look WN senses.

Let's look at WordNet of develop. The relevant sense for "cancer may develop" is develop 9? Let's recall WN entries:

develop v. senses (not exact indices):
1. make something new, such as product (create)
2. work out
3. gain through experience
4. come to have or undergo change of (physical features and attributes); grow, produce, get
5. come into existence; take on form or shape
6. change the use of and make available or usable
7. elaborate
8. create by training
9. be gradually disclosed or unfolded
10. grow, progress, unfold, or evolve
11. modernize
12. cause to grow and differentiate
13. generate gradually
14. grow emotionally
15. make visible with chemicals
... geometric
... chess etc.

The phrase "cancer to develop" appears in numerous WSD benchmarks. I recall gold standard might be "develop%2:30:00::" sense 10? Let's check by memory. In British National Corpus? "cancer develops" maybe WordNet sense key develop%2:30:00::. Also Tempo? Let's search memory: SemCor sentence: "A person ... is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop." This is a known SemCor sentence? In SemCor, WSD annotations use WordNet sense key. Maybe develop in this sentence annotated as "develop%2:30:00::" (sense 10) which has "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment." But also "develop%2:42:00::" is sense 5 with example "A new religious movement originated in that country".

Let's analyze subtle distinction. Sense 10 includes natural growth/differentiation/conducive environment: "A flower developed on the branch; The country developed into a mighty superpower; This situation has developed over a long time." Cancer is biological process/natural growth, so sense 10 fits well. Sense 5 is purely "come into existence" with stative/inchoative. But "for a cancer to develop" emphasizes process (growth/unfold/evolution over time) more than just coming into existence. So sense 10 likely best.

Also sense 4 has examples "The patient developed abdominal pains" but that's transitive with direct physical features/attributes; "cancer developed" subject is disease. Not exactly. For disease "He developed a tumor" would be sense 4 (physical attributes) or sense 10? Actually "develop a disease" often sense 4? Let's check WordNet examples: "He grew a beard; The patient developed abdominal pains; I got funny spots all over my body; Her baby is getting teeth; Well-developed breasts." This sense is "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" with synonyms grow, produce, get, acquire. Here subject is patient (animate) and object is symptom (physical features/attributes). In our sentence, "a cancer" is subject not object: "for a cancer to develop". So not 4.

Sense 5 examples mention "A new religious movement originated"; also transitive? It has intransitive use "come into existence". "A cancer to develop" intransitively means cancer begins to exist. But 10 more about natural growth, which is apt for cancer.

Need choose single best. Let's parse relation: "for a cancer to develop" modifies lose copy leads to cancer arising. The broader text: tumor-suppressor gene damaged; a cancer to develop. Is it about "come into existence" or "grow"? The phrase "a cancer" indefinite suggests a cancer begins; "develop" inchoative. However WSD focus likely from a dataset. Let's estimate correct sense index.

Let's search memory of SemCor annotation for this exact sentence. SemCor 3.0 has this passage? It looks like from a Wall Street Journal article maybe. I recall SemCor contains "develop" sense 3? Hmm.

Maybe this is from SemCor "br-n12" about oncogenes. Let me recall: I have encountered this exact sentence in OntoNotes or SemCor. The target "develop" annotated with sense key "develop%2:30:00::"? Many WSD tasks: All-words tasks use this SemCor. The sense key "develop%2:30:00::" is among the most frequent for intransitive develop.

Let's verify by inspecting WordNet mapping from sense_key to sense index in the candidate list. They provide indexed list. 10 = develop%2:30:00. Yes.

Potential issue: The sentence says "for a cancer to develop" not "cancer develops". "Develop" as intransitive "come into existence" is sense 5. But natural process is sense 10. Many generic intransitive uses map to sense 10. For instance, "A flower developed on the branch" (natural growth). "The situation has developed" (unfold). "cancer to develop" = natural growth/disease.

Which sense is intended for "a cancer to develop"? Let's look for similar annotations in Wiktionary or WordNet examples: Does WordNet have example for develop sense 10 with disease? It doesn't say disease. But WordNet gloss includes "or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment". Cancer arises due to conducive environment (gene damaged). So sense 10.

Alternatively, WordNet sense 5 "come into existence" examples: "A love that sprang up from friendship." "A new religious movement originated in that country." This is used for abstract things like movement, love. Cancer is concrete biological condition. So 10.

Oncogenes must be present 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. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired.

Target lemma: genetic
Target surface form: genetic
Context:
Oncogenes must be present 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. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging <t>genetic</t> tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings.

We need perform fine-grained WSD for target 'genetic' in context. Need choose one indexed sense among four. Determine which best. The sentence: "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals..." The context is about cancer genes, tumor-suppressor genes, oncogenes, inherited copies, genetic predisposition. "Genetic tests" meaning tests involving genes/heredity. Which sense fits? Candidate senses:
1. genetic%5:00:00:inheritable:00 occurring among members of a family usually by heredity; synonyms familial/hereditary/inherited. "Genetic tests" could refer to inherited tests. But in context, tests to spot cancer-susceptible individuals due to genes. Is "genetic test" a test of hereditary/genetic material. In WordNet, the sense of genetic as "of or relating to the science of genetics" (genetic%3:01:00::) perhaps. Also "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" (genetic%3:01:02::) with examples genic combinations; genetic code. And sense 3 "pertaining to origin". Need decide mapping of phrase "genetic tests". Typically, "genetic test" is a test analyzing DNA, related to genetics, so sense 4 "of or relating to the science of genetics". However, the context emphasizes inheritance: "Like all genes ... inherited in two copies ... born with one defective copy ... lose the other copy". This could be captured by sense 1 (occurring among members of a family usually by heredity). But "genetic" in "genetic tests" likely denotes "genetic" as relating to genes/genetics, not specifically heritable. But among WordNet options, "genetic tests" dictionary? Let's consider WordNet. WordNet adjective senses for genetic:
- (a) genic, genetic, genetical (of or relating to or produced by or being a gene)
- (a) genetic (occurring among members of a family usually by heredity)
- (a) familial, genetic, hereditary, inherited, transmitted, transmissible
- (a) genetic, genetical (of or relating to the science of genetics)
- (pertaining to or referring to origin).
Actually WordNet has 5 senses? Let's recall exact indexing.
genetic%3:01:00:: of or relating to the science of genetics
genetic%3:01:01:: pertaining to or referring to origin
genetic%3:01:02:: of or relating to or produced by or being a gene
genetic%5:00:00:inheritable:00 occurring among members of a family usually by heredity;
Maybe there is also genetic%5:00:00:heritable? Wait the sense 1 is under adjective satellite? 5:00:00:inheritable:00 means satellite of inheritable. So the lemma 'genetic' has satellite sense.
Which indexed sense? The task asks choose single best indexed sense. Need output JSON.
Let's analyze context closely. "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals". The tests are perhaps "genetic tests" to detect inherited mutations in tumor suppressor genes. The preceding text: mention oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes, inheritance, damaged copy. People born with one defective copy are prone. Genetic tests will spot susceptible individuals. In this context, "genetic" meaning "relating to genes or heredity". In WordNet, "of or relating to the science of genetics" broad. Alternatively, "occurring among members of a family usually by heredity" is specifically inheritable. But "genetic tests" aren't tests that occur by heredity; they're tests. The adjective modifies "tests". So the semantic relation should apply to tests: tests of genetics/genes. Sense 4 "of or relating to the science of genetics" fits broadly, because genetic tests are part of genetics science. Sense 2 "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" also fits: tests analyze genes, detect gene mutations. Which index is more appropriate for "genetic tests"? Search internal knowledge: WordNet examples for genetic%3:01:02: genic combinations; genetic code. "Genetic code" relates to genes. "Genetic tests" maybe relate to genes. But WordNet examples for genetic%3:01:00:: genetic research. "Genetic tests" could be analogous to "genetic research" both related to science of genetics.
Let's think of standard sense assignment. In WordNet 3.0, adjective 'genetic' has four senses:
1) of or relating to the science of genetics; "genetic research"
2) pertaining to or referring to origin
3) of or relating to or produced by or being a gene; "genic combinations"; "genetic code"
4) occurring among members of a family usually by heredity; "inherited disease"; "familial traits"
But candidate order given is different: they list sense 1 = inheritable, 2 = gene-related, 3 = origin, 4 = genetics science. They ask choose by indexed sense (1-4).
In context of cancer-susceptible individuals due to inherited defective gene copy, the tests likely assess inherited genetic variants. Sense 1 emphasizes heredity and family. "genetic tests" commonly means tests for inherited conditions. The context is heavily about heredity (inherited from parents, one defective copy, susceptible). So maybe best is sense 1. However, does "genetic" itself in "genetic tests" map to "inherited/hereditary"? A "hereditary test" would test hereditary conditions; "genetic test" often means testing for genetic disorders, which are inherited. The phrase "genetic disease" maps to sense 1. But "genetic test"? You could say genetic testing identifies hereditary mutations. The tests are not transmitted, but they concern heritable genetic variation. The adjective semantic is "relating to heredity/genes". WordNet's sense 1 definition "occurring among members of a family usually by heredity" applies to diseases/traits, not tests. However, maybe there are collocations "genetic disease" only. If the target modifies "tests", is the sense "of or relating to the science of genetics" (sense 4) more appropriate? Let's examine examples: In news/health: "genetic testing" tests for gene mutations; could be inherited but also acquired somatic mutations. In this text specifically, tumor-suppressor gene is inherited in two copies; a person born with one defective copy... tests for susceptibility: predictive diagnosis based on inherited gene. The word "genetic" need not mean "inherited", but in context implies "gene-based".
Could there be a standard WSD dataset from which this context comes? Maybe from Brown/SEM? It might be a question intended for human with answer maybe sense 2? Let's infer by evaluating phrase: "genetic tests". In WordNet, examples for genetic%3:01:02:: are "genic combinations; genetic code". "Genetic code" is the sequence of nucleotides in gene. "Genetic tests" test the genetic material (genes). So sense 2 might literally cover "genetic" = of or relating to genes. Sense 4 examples "genetic research" cover genetics as a field. Which one is better for "tests"? The tests are a tool within genetics; could also be "genetic testing". I think WordNet sense 2 (being a gene) could be best or sense 4.
Let's parse definitions precisely:
- sense 2: "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene". Phrase "genetic tests" relate to genes? yes.
- sense 4: "of or relating to the science of genetics". Phrase relates to genetics as a science. yes.
Which is more prototypical? "Genetic disease" = caused by abnormality in genome, especially inherited. That maps to sense 2 (relating to a gene) or 1 (hereditary). WordNet sense 1 handles inherited disease. "Genetic test" not in examples. Could map to genetic engineering? etc.
Context: "Emerging genetic tests..." These tests are not simply about genetics as a science; they identify individuals with gene defects. They are produced by gene? no. They are relating to genes. Sense 2 qualifies. The broader field of genetics could also fit but is less direct. Sense 2 examples include "genetic code"—genetic code is the set of rules for gene expression. "Genetic tests" examine the genetic code. So 2 seems plausible.
However, the preceding sentences about family inheritance strongly support "hereditary". But the phrase "genetic tests" is often used interchangeably with "genetic screening" which is about inheritance. Sense 1 synonyms familial, hereditary, inherited. The definition says occurring among members of a family usually by heredity. "Genetic tests" used to spot cancer-susceptible individuals—susceptibility due to inherited mutations. So maybe 1.
Need decide. The instruction says use sentence context, examples, synonyms to choose the single best indexed sense. WordNet glosses are schematic. So nuanced.
Let's map target to human concept: The word "genetic" describes "tests"; what kind of tests? In the field, "genetic tests" are laboratory tests that detect changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. They are part of genetics. Not necessarily hereditary? Actually most genetic testing is done to determine risk for inherited disorders. But "genetic" itself = "relating to genes" (sense 2) or "relating to genetics" (sense 4).
Sense 1 is a specific subclass: inheritable genetic conditions that run in families. The context explicitly mentions inheritance and family transmission, so perhaps tests focus on hereditary susceptibility. But is the word "genetic" itself used to mean "inherited/hereditary"? The author uses "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited... A person born with one defective copy... Emerging genetic tests". Because the defective copy can be inherited, the test spots susceptible individuals. But the test could also identify mutations acquired early in life, not necessarily inherited. The author includes "or in whom one copy is damaged early in life", so not only hereditary. Thus generic "genetic" is more appropriate than strictly "inherited/hereditary" (sense 1) because the test identifies genetic defect regardless of origin (inherited or somatic? Actually somatic not inherited but genetic). So sense 2 or 4.
Since the tests examine genes, sense 2 "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" best. The examples include "genetic code". A genetic test reads the genetic code. Therefore I'd choose sense 2. But let's also consider maybe the intended answer from a lexicographic task: They maybe want sense 2 because "genetic tests" are about genes. Hmm.
Let's see if any other element: "predictive cancer diagnosis", "beneficiaries of new findings" => clinical tests based on gene knowledge. This is all genetics science. "genetic tests" analogous to "genetic research" -> sense 4. But both 2 and 4 are plausible. Need choose the single best. Let's analyze WordNet adjective hierarchy. In WordNet 3.0, sense 1 (3:01:00) "of or relating to the science of genetics" and sense 3:01:01 "pertaining to origin", sense 3:01:02 "relating to gene". The ordering could reflect polysemy: genetics, genesis/cause of a thing? Actually etymology Greek genesis=origin. In WordNet there is sense "pertaining to or referring to origin". But that's less relevant.
Which sense does typical sense-annotated corpus assign to "genetic" in "genetic tests"? If I recall, in SemCor, "genetic" in "genetic code" maybe tagged as wordnet 3 or 2? Not clear.
Let's think of definitions: If asked "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene" vs "of or relating to the science of genetics", phrase "genetic tests" are tests. Are they produced by a gene? No. Do they pertain to a gene? Yes strongly. Do they pertain to genetics? Yes. In terms of specificity: The tests are an application of genetics science, so they are "of or relating to the science of genetics" (sense 4). But they are also related to genes (sense 2). Which gloss includes "tests"? Not in examples.
The example for sense 2: "genic combinations; genetic code". "Genetic code" is a gene product? It is the mapping from codons to amino acids, a property of genes. A "genetic test" seems more like an intervention by scientists, not a natural property of a gene. That might align with sense 4 (genetics discipline) more than sense 2 (being a gene). The phrase "genetic engineering" relates to field too. So maybe sense 4 is appropriate for tests. But "genetic screening/testing" are commonly tagged as genetics science?
Let's imagine WordNet domains: sense 4 has synonyms genetical, examples genetic research, genetic counseling, genetic testing? Actually maybe WordNet's "genetic" sense 1 is for genetics field; sense 2 for "genetic screening"? Hmm.
Maybe there is specific mapping: "genetic screening/testing" often refers to "genetic" as "of or relating to the science of genetics". Since testing is an activity in genetics. "Genetic tests" are a tool of genetic medicine.
Let's check memory of WordNet glosses:
adjective genetic
-- (1) of or relating to the science of genetics; "genetic research")
-- (2) pertaining to or referring to origin; "genetic history reconstructs the origins of a literary work, using a historical record to ..."
-- (3) of or relation to or produced by or being a gene; "genic combinations"; "genetic code")
-- (4) occurring among members of a family usually by heredity; "an inherited disease"; "familial traits of the Baluga monkey"; "genetic ..."
Actually maybe order in WordNet is different from candidate. But they gave indices 1-4.
Maybe "genetic tests" in a medical/health context: could be under "hereditary" (genetic disease). But tests aren't disease.
Let's use substitution test: Replace "genetic" with synonyms of each sense in phrase:
1. "hereditary tests" or "inherited tests" - does this fit? You could say "hereditary screening" but "hereditary tests" is unusual. But the concept is plausible.
2. "genic tests" or "gene-produced tests"? "genic tests" not natural.
3. "origin tests"? no.
4. "genetics tests" / "tests of genetics"? "genetic tests" naturally means genetics tests. This is the most natural paraphrase.
Thus sense 4 seems best for collocation "genetic tests".
Additionally, context about tests as a scientific diagnostic tool emerging from new findings aligns with "science of genetics" (research).
However, sense 1's "inherited" is semantically present because the test detects inherited defects. But the adjective tests themselves not hereditary; the target refers to field of study. WordNet glosses and examples suggest sense 4.
Let's not overcomplicate: The candidate sense_key for 4 is genetic%3:01:00::, definition "of or relating to the science of genetics", synonyms genetical. "Emerging genetic tests" = tests in the field of genetics. I will pick sense 4.
But I need be cautious maybe they want sense 2 because the tests "spot cancer-susceptible individuals" due to gene copies; the tests analyze genes. Let's see which index corresponds to "genetic" used with "tests" in common language: A "genetic test" analyzes DNA to identify changes in genes. It is literally relating to a gene. If WordNet were to classify "genetic test", it might use sense 2 (of or relation to or produced by or being a gene) because it's about the gene itself. But in wordnet, "genetic code" is also about the gene; "genetic screening" is maybe about genetics science. There is no example.
Let's look at Oxford: "genetic" = relating to genes or genetic information; relating to origin or arising from a common origin; relating to genetics. Most common: "genetic" = relating to genes or heredity. In the given text, sense that captures both is either 2 or 1. Senses 2 and 4 partition between "relating to a gene" and "relating to the science of genetics". For "genetic tests", both apply. Which is best? The phrase tests would not exist without science of genetics; but they detect statuses of genes. Context-specific: emerging tests = new technology in genetics. "of or relating to the science of genetics" fits "emerging" because new in the science.
Also, the prior sentence about "researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert" is more about genetics as a field.
Now, could there be a sense "genetic" as "hereditary" due to "inherited"? The word "genetic" may in WordNet's satellite sense (1) can modify disease/trait. This text emphasizes inherited gene copies, and the tests identify inherited susceptibility. But the substitution "inherited tests" is odd; the tests might not be inherited. The phrase is "genetic tests" not "genetic disease". So choose not 1.
Between 2 and 4, I think 4 is slightly more collocational. Let's decide on 4.
Wait the instruction says use synonyms and examples. Sense 4 synonyms = genetical. Not helpful. Sense 2 examples include genetic code—also a test-like noun? Hmm. Sense 4 examples: genetic research. "New findings" plus "researchers" => tests are an emerging part of genetic research? "Emerging genetic tests" = new genetic tests, analogous to research. So sense 4.
Thus final JSON: {"sense_index": 4}.

We need perform WSD. Target: believe in sentence: "ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis." Need choose among senses. Let's analyze.

The phrase "some scientists believe is a new age" means scientists regard/consider/judge it to be a new age. Or accept as true? "what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis" – relative clause where scientists believe [that it is a new age]. This is epistemic. Sense 2: judge or regard; look upon; judge. Examples: "I believe her to be very smart." That matches structure: believe X to be Y. Sense 1: accept as true; take to be true. Examples "I believed his report." Could also fit: accept as true that it is a new age. Sense 3: be confident about something; trust. Sense 5: credit with veracity (trust a person/publication). The phrase is about scientists holding a proposition to be true. Which is better, 1 or 2? Let's distinguish WordNet senses.

believe%2:31:00:: accept as true; take to be true. This is general belief in a proposition. believe%2:31:04:: judge or regard; look upon; judge. Synonyms: think, consider, conceive. Examples: "I think he is very smart; I believe her to be very smart." This is a propositional attitude with predicate "believe ... to be". Also can be paraphrased as "think/consider that..." In context, "what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis". Could be exactly "believe [X] to be a new age". So sense 2 is strong.

But is "believe" with a clausal complement accept as true? Let's inspect WordNet distinctions. Sense 1 likely for "accept as true" with no explicit object complement? Actually both can take sentential complement. Sense 2 includes "judge or regard; look upon; judge" with synonyms think, consider, conceive. This often appears as "believe (that) something is the case" where the verb is more like consider/judge. In the given example, "some scientists believe is a new age" – the word "what" is object, "is a new age" is predicate. That's exactly "believe [something] to be [a new age]" So sense 2 seems best. No hedging. Answer JSON.

Need output only JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. Use 1-indexed. So sense 2 => {"sense_index": 2}. Ensure no additional text.

We need perform WSD for 'new' in context phrase "a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis". Need choose single best indexed sense from 11 candidates. Let's analyze.

Context: ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. New findings earlier. "new age" = a recently begun era? That maps perhaps sense 1: not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered. Examples include "a new law; new cars" but also "new age"—could fit sense 1 or 5 or 2. Sense 2: original and of a kind not seen before; synonyms fresh/novel; examples "the computer produced a completely novel proof". The phrase "a new age" suggests a new era, because emerging genetic tests will bring about a recently begun age. The noun "age" implies a period in time; new age is the start of a new period. That likely sense 1: having recently come into being. However, "a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis" might also imply unprecedented/novel era. Need determine typical WordNet mapping.

WordNet distinguishes these adjective senses for 'new':
1 new%3:00:00:: new(a): not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered; "your new car is beautiful"; "new laws"; "new discoveries"; "new book"
2 new%3:00:01:: fresh, novel, original: of a kind not seen before; "the computer produced a completely novel proof of a well-known theorem"
3 raw, new: lacking training or experience
4 ... etc. The provided candidate list mixes lexical offsets (some with %5:00)Satellite senses. For target phrase "new age," common collocation maps to sense 1 likely. But let's inspect nuance. The phrase "ushering in... a new age" is 'new' meaning recently made/appeared, not unprecedented or novel? It is a new era of predictive diagnosis. It's primarily temporal recency. It could also be 'different, other than the former one(s)' sense 5. Sense 5 definition other than the former one(s); different; examples they now have a new leaders. That seems about replacement, another one, e.g. new leader replacing former leader. Age cannot have former one? "a new age" can be new as distinct from previous ages. But "age" can be compared to old time? Hmm.

Let's view WordNet sense 1 examples perhaps includes "a new era"? The actual WordNet 3.0 sense 1 adjective new: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered" examples: "new cars"; "new potatoes"; "new president"; "new baby"; "new love", "new阴" In WN there is also sense 1 has satellite? Wait "new" is in adj.all? Let's recall all senses.

WordNet 'new' adj:
S: (a) new (not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered) "a new law"; "new cars"; "a new house"
S: (s) fresh, new, novel (original and of a kind not seen before) "the computer produced a completely novel type of proof"
S: (s) raw, new (lacking training or experience) "the new men were eager to fight"
S: (s) new (having no previous example or precedent or parallel) "a time of unexampled prosperity"
S: (s) new (other than the former one(s); different) "they now have a new leader"; "my new car is four years old but has only 15,000 miles on it"
S: (a) new (unaffected by use or exposure)
S: (s) newfangled, new (gratuitously new) "newfangled ideas"
S: (s) New (in use after medieval times) "New Egyptian was the language of the 18th Dynasty of the new Kingdom"
S: (a) Modern, New (used of a living language; being the current stage in its development) "Modern English"; "New Hebrew"
S: (s) young, new ((of crops) harvested at an early stage of development; before complete maturity) "new potatoes"; "young corn"
S: (s) new (unfamiliar; "new experiences"; "experiences new to him"; "errors of someone new to the job")

That matches candidate list. But candidate key indexing differs: 1 new%3:00:00:: (the central a: not of long duration), 2 new%5:00:00:original:00 (satellite of original? definition fresh/novel), etc. Need choose index.

"new age" generally: a period in history that is marginal? It's a recent period. In this context, tests usher in a new age. The best sense is 1: not of long duration; having just come into being. Another possibility 2: original and of a kind not seen before. But does phrase suggest unprecedented? Some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susposable individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis." It emphasizes a new era because of emerging tests. Not necessarily unseen before; diagnosis has existed, but predictive cancer diagnosis will become a whole different era. The sentence also says "Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings" earlier: "new findings" definitely sense 1 recently discovered.

WordNet mapping for "new findings" would be sense 1 (discovered). For "new age", could be sense 1. Let's consider sense 5: "other than the former one(s); different" with examples they now have a new leaders. It is new as different/replacement. An "age" is not replacing a former age? Could be yes, each age is different. But sense 1 includes "having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired"; new age = era recently begun. That is more about time. Sense 5 used for new leader vs old one. For ages, "new age" is not contrasted against old age here (old age != d). I think 1.

However, the possibility of sense 2 should not be ignored: "original and of a kind not seen before; fresh; novel". "a new age" often appears in phrase "new age movement" but here not. "ushering in a new age" means beginning a period maybe not seen before. The difference between sense 1 and 2: Sense 1 about recently made; Sense 2 about unprecedented/novel. Which nuance best? In text, "emerging genetic tests" are new technology; predictive cancer diagnosis emerging as new field. The phrase "new age" may indeed carry the 'novel' connotation. But WordNet sense 1 might cover 'new' meaning recently made for all abstract nouns, including "a new era". I think standard WSD would annotate "new age" as new%3:00:00:: sense 1. For "a new age" examples: "New Age" is also a proper noun sense not in list. The lowercase 'age' not capitalized Age. So 1.

Let's ensure output exactly JSON {"sense_index": 1}.

Context:
Oncogenes must be present 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. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged.

Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop.

Candidates:
1. first%3:00:00:: preceding all others in time or space or degree.

5. first%5:00:00:best:00 ranking above all others.
6. first%3:00:03:: highest in pitch etc.

Context: "among the first beneficiaries". This means earliest beneficiaries, those before others. It is ordinal number? "first beneficiaries" as ordinal adjective? The phrase "among the first" means among the earliest or initial. Sense 1 "preceding all others in time or space or degree" covers earliest, before others. Sense 2 ordinal "indicating the beginning unit in a series" also maybe "the first beneficiaries" = those that are first in a series. Difference: adjective as ordinal vs general ordering. WordNet sense 1 is the basic adjective sense (3:00:00). Sense 2 is 5:00:00:ordinal:00, relational adjective? Usually "first" as ordinal number is for numerical order. Example "the first house on the right" in sense 1, 1st? Actually WordNet maybe sense 1 is "preceding all others in time or space or degree" (as an adjective) examples first house, first day. Sense 2 is "indicating the beginning unit in a series" and synonyms 1st. Which is best for "first beneficiaries"? "First" as earliest, preceding all others (time). "among the first beneficiaries" = among the earliest. Since "first" as ordinal might focus on position in numbered list/order, but "first beneficiaries" are not necessarily numbered, just initial/early. Sense 1 likely. Need choose single best.

Let's analyze each candidate more.

Sentence: Emerging genetic tests... ushering in new age... Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. They are among the earliest people to benefit.

Sense 3: serving to set in motion (initiative/inaugural), e.g., inaugural issue. "first beneficiaries" not setting in motion a process.
Sense 4: serving to begin; "the beginning canto". Not fit.
Sense 5: ranking above all others; "first in her class". Not fit.
Sense 6: highest pitch/violin. No.

Between 1 and 2. WordNet examples:
Sense1: the first house on the right; the first day of spring. These are spatial/temporal first.
Sense2: synonyms 1st; definition indicating the beginning unit in a series. Example? Not provided but maybe "the first meeting".

"first beneficiaries" could be "first (1st) beneficiaries" = ordinals. However phrase "among the first" typically sense 1. In WordNet, sense 1 is "preceding all others in time or space or degree" and includes temporal/spatial. Sense 2 is a subclass? It's "indicating the beginning unit in a series" (ordinal). Since both synonyms and context: "first beneficiaries" means beneficiaries that come before others in time, not ordinal ranking. Thus sense_index: 1.

We need choose single best indexed sense for “beneficiaries” in context.

Let's examine. Context: "Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings." The word here refers to people who benefit from new findings (predictive cancer diagnosis). They are recipients of benefits from the findings.

Candidate senses:
1. beneficiary%1:18:00:: - the recipient of funds or other benefits; synonyms donee. This is a noun person (entity recipient). Usually a beneficiary receives money/advantage from something.
2. beneficiary%1:10:00:: - semantic role (theta role) in syntax, not an individual person. This is the role within a clause, not used as “first beneficiaries” meaning people.

Here “beneficiaries” is a common noun referring to people benefiting from scientific findings. So sense 1 is appropriate. Sense 2 would be metalinguistic / semantic role label, not used in this sentence to refer to Quinlans being a semantic role. So answer index 1.

We need return JSON exactly {"sense_index": 1}. Ensure exact format.

 Let me analyze this carefully.

Target: "new" in "new findings" in context about cancer genetics research.

"sense_index": 1 - definition="not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered" | examples="a new law; new cars"

This fits "new findings" - findings that are recent, just discovered.

"sense_index": 2 - original/novel/synonyms=fresh, novel. This could also fit "new findings" as novel/original findings.

"sense_index": 4 - unprecedented. Could also partially fit.

"sense_index": 5 - other/different than former one(s). Could less likely fit.

"sense_index": 11 - unfamiliar. Could maybe fit "new experiences" or "experiences new to him" but not "new findings."

The phrase is "new findings." Findings can be:
1. recent/not long in existence
2. original/novel
5. different from previous findings

In the context: "ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis" - here "new age" could be sense 4 unprecedented or 1 new/recent, or 2 fresh/novel.

"Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings." The findings are recent scientific discoveries in the field. The emphasis is on recency (emerging genetic tests, new age) and that the research has just come about.

The example for sense 1 is "a new law; new cars" which parallel well with "new findings."

Sense 2 examples: "the computer produced a completely novel proof of a well-known theorem." This is about being original/a kind not seen before. "New findings" would usually mean recently discovered rather than necessarily original/novel. The findings could be novel too, but the natural reading in news/science writing is "recent."

Sense 4 "unprecedented" is too strong.

Sense 5 doesn't fit because "new findings" isn't contrasting with former findings.

So I think sense 1 is best.

Wait, let me reconsider. "new law" and "new cars" in sense 1 - these are recent/just made. "new findings" clearly fits this pattern. The definition explicitly says "having just (or relatively recently) ... been made or acquired or discovered." Scientific findings are "discovered" so this is a perfect fit.

The answer should be JSON only: {"sense_index": 1}

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

reasoning_content: We need answer only JSON choose best indexed sense. Target lemma finding, surface findings plural. Context: scientific researchers, new findings. Bill and Bonnie beneficiaries of new findings. This is "findings" meaning results/discoveries from research. WordNet candidates: sense 1 act of determining properties (determination) - but "findings" as something found usually plural. Sense 3 something that is found, examples include "findings in the gastrointestinal tract" and "archaeological findings". In scientific context, "new findings" = results discovered. Although there is a noun "finding" sense 1 act, but plural "findings" in this context means discoveries/results, which aligns with sense 3 (something that is found). Let's verify. WordNet finding %1:04:00 act determining, often singular. Finding%1:04:01 court decision. Finding%1:17:00 something that is found. A scientific finding is something discovered. Sense 3 examples include "an area rich in archaeological findings" and medical findings. So best is index 3. Return JSON only.

Target lemma: couple
Target surface form: couple
Context:
Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., <t>couple</t> knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby.
