Target lemma: prove
Target surface form: prove
Context:
Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to <t>prove</t> Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "way" in the context: "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes". The phrase "no way of [doing something]" means no means/method of achieving a result.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. way%1:07:01 - how something is done or how it happens (manner, mode, style, fashion) - this is about manner/style
2. way%1:04:01 - how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means, agency) - examples "a means of control", "an example is the best agency of instruction"

The phrase "had no way of ferreting out specific genes" = had no means/method of ferreting out specific genes. This matches sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with synonyms means, agency. "No way of doing X" = no means of doing X.

The answer is sense_index 2.

The target word is "see" in the context: "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells". This is clearly about perceiving by sight - using a microscope to visually perceive chromosomes. This matches sense 1: perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight. The example "Can you see the bird in that tree?" is analogous.

Not sense 19 (observe as if with an eye) - that's for cameras etc. Not sense 20 (examine) - they're just perceiving chromosomes under microscope, not inspecting carefully in that bureaucratic sense.

reasoning_content:
We need answer only JSON. Need disambiguate 'pairs' in context: 23 pairs of chromosomes. Target lemma pair. Candidate senses: 1 a set of two similar things considered as a unit (brace); 2 two items of same kind (couple...); 3 two people; 4 poker. Need choose best. Chromosomes occur as 23 pairs: two similar chromosomes considered as a unit? In biology, chromosome pairs are sets of two homologous chromosomes (one from each parent) considered as a unit. Sense 1 'a set of two similar things considered as a unit' likely for pair as noun (a pair of shoes/scissors) maybe items functioning as unit. Sense 2 'two items of same kind' is broader: two items of same kind, synonyms couple/twosome etc. For chromosomes, 23 pairs = 23 sets of two chromosomes; they are similar (homologous) and considered as units. Need determine WordNet sense distinction. Sense 1 pair%1:14:01:: definition 'a set of two similar things considered as a unit' synonyms brace. Example? likely 'a pair of gloves', 'a pair of earrings'? Sense 2 pair%1:23:00:: 'two items of the same kind' maybe for 'a pair of birds'? Let's recall WordNet noun pair senses:
- pair, brace: a set of two similar things considered as a unit (e.g. pair of trousers? actually pair%1:14:01 maybe group? It has hypernym 'set'? examples?)
- pair, couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke: two items of the same kind (maybe two people/things joined? hypernym two, digit? no 1:23 quantity? sense number 23 indicates quantity? It is noun.quantity? 'two items of same kind'
- pair: two people considered as a unit (e.g. a pair of lovers)
- pair: poker hand.
Context 23 pairs of chromosomes: They are not a unit in sense of pants (two parts make one object), nor people, nor poker. '23 pairs' means 46 chromosomes grouped into 23 sets of two homologous chromosomes. Sense 2 seems 'two items of same kind' maybe because chromosome pair are two items of same kind; sense 1 'set of two similar things considered as a unit' also fits. Need infer intended WSD. The phrase '23 pairs of chromosomes' emphasizes count of sets, each set comprises two matching chromosomes (homologous pair) considered together. In genetics, a chromosome pair is a unit: homologous chromosomes. WordNet sense 1 gloss exactly 'a set of two similar things considered as a unit'—chromosomes are similar things considered as a unit (karyotype has 23 pairs). Sense 2 is 'two items of same kind' generic; but synonym 'couple' etc. Which is best? Need choose single.
Let's deeply compare WordNet nuances. Sense 1 key pair%1:14:01:: noun.group? Lexicographer file 14 = group? Definition set of two similar things considered as a unit. Synonyms only brace. Example maybe in WordNet: "a pair of thieves"? no.
Sense 2 key pair%1:23:00:: noun.quantity? 'two items of the same kind' synonyms couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke. It might be for numerative: "a pair of shoes"? Wait pair of shoes are two items same kind but also a set considered unit.
WordNet often distinguishes 'brace' as set of two similar things considered as a unit (e.g. a brace of partridges? game?) vs 'pair' as two items same kind. Hmm.
Given chromosomes: 23 pairs of chromosomes in cells. We count 23 pairs; each pair consists of two chromosomes of same kind/homologous. It is a collective grouping. Sense 1's 'set ... considered as a unit' strongly fits chromosome pair: homologous chromosomes are paired (synapsed) as unit in meiosis. The context '23 pairs of chromosomes' in cell is canonical: humans have 23 pairs (one set from mother/father), considered as paired units. I'd choose sense 1.

There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible.

The target sentence: "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

Here "contain" means chromosomes have genes within them / include them as components. Need choose between sense 1 (include or contain; have as a component) and sense 2 (contain or hold; have within). The relation: chromosomes contain genes = genes are components/constituents located within chromosomes. WordNet sense 1 examples: record contains many old songs (includes as component). Sense 2 examples: jar carries wine; canteen holds fresh water (physical container holding substance). Chromosomes are biological structures that have genes as parts/components; more like include/have as component than vessel holding liquid. Context says "cells that contain the genes" actually target is in clause "chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes" — relative pronoun that refers to cells? Let's parse: "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes." Grammatically "that contain the genes" likely modifies cells (cells contain the genes) or chromosomes? It says chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Scientists could see chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes = cells contain genes. Either way cells/chromosomes contain genes as components within. Best is sense 1 include/have as component. Need return JSON only. Ensure no extra.

reasoning_content:
We need answer only JSON object. Need choose sense. Context: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." Under microscope could see chromosomes; occasionally gross damage visible. Target gross means visible to naked eye? In biology/anatomy, gross = macroscopic, visible to naked eye, especially anatomical features. Here damage visible under microscope? Phrase: scientists had no way ferreting genes, but under microscope see chromosomes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. "gross" in medical/scientific often means large-scale/macroscopic, coarse, as opposed to molecular; visible (maybe under microscope) large structural chromosome damage. Candidate 4 visible to naked eye especially rocks/anatomical features synonyms megascopic. Candidate 2 lacking fine distinctions/detail (gross details) could mean coarse/large-scale. Need decide best WordNet sense.

Let's analyze deeply. Sentence: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." They contrast specific genes (too small) vs chromosomes visible under microscope. "gross chromosome damage" means obvious large-scale damage to chromosome structure, microscopically visible (deletions, etc), not gene-level. In pathology, "gross" can mean macroscopic (visible without microscope), but chromosomes require microscope. However WordNet sense 4: visible to naked eye (especially rocks and anatomical features), synonyms megascopic. This is technical antonym microscopic. But context says under a microscope, damage visible; not naked eye. Hmm.

Could be sense 2: lacking fine distinctions or detail; "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable" = coarse, general. "gross chromosome damage" = damage at gross/coarse level (large-scale), as opposed to fine gene defects. Sense 2 definition lacking fine distinctions/detail: "gross" = coarse, not fine. Examples structure details. This seems plausible: gross chromosome damage = large/coarse structural damage, lacking fine detail? But "was visible" cues sense 4 maybe.

Need choose single best. Let's recall WN senses for gross adj:
- before deductions (income)
- lacking fine distinctions or detail: "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable" (rough, general)
- repellently fat
- visible to naked eye (esp rocks/anatomical features): megascopic; "gross anatomy"?
- unmitigated
- indecent
- conspicuously bad.

In scientific usage, "gross chromosome damage" likely means macroscopically/large visible damage, i.e., sense 4. Although chromosomes seen under microscope, phrase "gross damage was visible" echoes visible to naked eye definition, and synonyms megascopic = visible to naked eye, enlarged enough. But actual is under microscope, not naked eye, so sense 4's gloss too literal? WordNet gloss schematic; use context and synonyms. Sense 4 examples maybe "gross anatomical features" means large-scale visible structure. In genetics, "gross chromosomal aberrations" is a set phrase meaning large-scale structural changes visible by cytogenetic microscopy (e.g., deletions/translocations), as opposed to point mutations. This maps to macroscopic/megascopic, sense 4, despite microscope. Sense 2 is more about coarse in detail (approximate), not damage visibility. The clause "was visible" strongly selects visible sense. Answer index 4.

The user wants WSD for "found" in context. Need choose best indexed sense, return only JSON. Need reason. Context: Dr. Knudson found that some children with eye cancer had inherited damaged copy chromosome 13... Under microscope he could see missing bit. "found that" = discovered/determined fact through observation/investigation. Candidates: 2 discover/determine existence presence fact (detect, observe, discover, notice) examples found traces; 4 establish after calculation/investigation/experiment/study (determine, find out, ascertain) examples physicist who found elusive particle; 8 make a discovery, new finding; 9 make a discovery (that clause) examples She found that he had lied; The story false so far as I can discover. Need fine-grained. Sentence: "Dr. Knudson found that some children ... had inherited a damaged copy..." It's a research finding established by examination/study, followed by that-clause. Sense 9 specifically make a discovery with that-clause? synonyms discover; examples She found that he had lied to her. Sense 4 establish after investigation etc often "find that" too, determine/ascertain. Need choose single best. Let's examine nuances.

Target: found that [proposition]. Not physical object. It refers to empirical discovery in scientific research: based on observing chromosomes. WordNet senses: find%2:39:02 discover or determine existence, presence, or fact of — synonyms detect observe discover notice; examples "She detected high levels of lead", "We found traces of lead in paint". This fits discovering fact of damaged chromosome via microscope. But clause is "that some children had inherited..." could be "determine the fact of". Sense 4: establish after calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study — synonyms determine/find out/ascertain; examples include "The physicist who found the elusive particle won Nobel Prize" (odd), find product of numbers. This is for establishing after investigation, can be "found that". In scientific context, Knudson established relationship after study. Sense 9: make a discovery; examples exactly "She found that he had lied to her". But synonyms discover; definition "make a discovery" less specific, duplicate of 8? 8 is make a discovery, make a new finding (Roentgen discovered X-rays; Physicists believe they found new elementary particle) - for novel scientific discovery. 9 examples are proposition discovery (found that he lied). Hmm.

Need infer from WordNet sense keys likely: find%2:31:09:: is "make a discovery" maybe cognitive that-clause; find%2:36:00 is "make a discovery, make a new finding" scientific discoveries. In context: Dr. Knudson found that some children... inherited damaged copy. This is a scientific finding, but not discovering a new object/particle; it's determining an association/fact after examining patients. Sense 4 or 2.

The prompt says WordNet glosses schematic; use context, examples, synonyms. The sentence: "found that some children ... had inherited..." plus next sentence evidence: under microscope he could actually see missing bit. It is observational determination of a fact. Sense 2 definition: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" synonyms detect, observe, discover, notice. This is very apt: he discovered/determined the fact of inherited damaged chromosome; observed under microscope. Sense 4 emphasizes establish after calculation/investigation/experiment/survey/study; also apt but more procedural. Since he literally could see under microscope, detect/observe/notice sense 2. However "found that" with a proposition in research often maps to sense 4 (establish after investigation) or 9. Need choose best indexed sense.

Let's recall WordNet find senses:
- find, detect, observe, discover, notice (2:39:02) = discover or determine existence/presence/fact of. Example "She detected high levels of lead..." "We found traces of lead in the paint". This often takes NP object (traces) not that-clause? But can take clause? "notice that" yes.
- determine, find out, ascertain (2:32:00) = establish after calculation, investigation... Example "find the product"; "The physicist who found the elusive particle won Nobel Prize" weird maybe should be "found"=determine? It takes NP or clause. Scientific investigation.
- discover (2:36:00) = make a discovery, make a new finding (new to world). Knudson's finding was new to science (some children had inherited damaged copy). Could be sense 8. But target not "found a new particle"; found a correlation/fact.
- discover (2:31:09) = make a discovery; example "She found that he had lied to her" general epistemic discovery, not necessarily scientific.

The sentence in a biomedical article: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy..." This is reporting an empirical result. In WSD datasets, this likely sense is "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" (2) or "establish after investigation" (4). Need decide.

Let's compare wording: Candidate 4 synonyms determine/find out/ascertain. "found that some children had inherited" = determined/ascertained that. It followed an investigation of children under microscope. Definition explicitly includes "after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" — scientific study context. Example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" maybe actually discovery, but gloss leans determine. Candidate 2 synonyms detect/observe/discover/notice, examples are detection of substances; context includes microscope see missing bit, but main clause is inherited damage (not directly visible? the missing bit visible). Sense 2 covers existence/presence/fact of lead/traces—more concrete presence. Here fact about inheritance pattern. Sense 4 is more abstract establishment through study.

Potential clue: He "theorized" earlier, no way to prove; then "found that" some children... This is a finding supporting theory via observation. In academic prose, "found that" = established/determined after study. I'd lean 4.

But sense 9 example exactly "She found that he had lied to her" (that-clause, discovery of fact). Yet synonyms only discover; definition same as 8 but less new finding? It might be for that-clause. However target is scientific new finding, closer to 8/4 than personal discovery.

Target lemma: inherit
Target surface form: inherited
Context:
He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had <t>inherited</t> a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "copy" in the context of genetics/chromosomes: "a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent". This refers to one of the two versions/instances of a chromosome (or gene) inherited from parents. Among the senses:
1. transcript of written record - no
2. a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing - this fits best: a copy of a chromosome/gene is an instance/version that is similar/identical. Examples include "the clone was a copy of its ancestor" - very relevant to biological inheritance.
3. matter to be printed - no
4. journalistic material - no
So sense_index 2.

Need disambiguate among senses. Context: scientists couldn't prove two-hit, no way to ferret genes, but under microscope could see chromosomes. Occasionally gross damage visible. Knudson found some children inherited damaged copy. Under microscope he could actually see that a bit was missing. Here "actually" emphasizes in actual fact / really, contra expectation? It means he really could see missing bit. Is it surprising/contrastive? Sentence: no way to prove, but could see chromosomes; occasionally damage visible. He could actually see a bit missing. It affirms reality of observation. Sense 1 'in actual fact' synonyms really; examples "no one actually saw the shark" similar: could actually see = really saw. Sense 2 implies expectation opposite, surprisingly; there is some contrast with inability to prove, but the targeted phrase "could actually see" = genuinely/indeed see, not "surprisingly" as sentence modifier. Sense 3 present moment no. Sense 4 sentence modifier slight emphasis no (not sentence-initial, not discourse marker). Best 1. Need final exactly JSON object only, no explanation.

Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece <t>contained</t> a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We need answer only JSON. Need disambiguate. Context: missing piece contained a gene or genes. Means included/had as component. Candidate 1 include or contain; have as component. Candidate 2 contain or hold; have within (physical container). A chromosome piece contains genes as components, not physical holding. Best sense 1. Need output JSON exactly. Ensure no extra. Final only {"sense_index": 1}.
