Context:
Soon after that report, two other research teams uncovered evidence that the same damaged p53 gene is present in tissue from lung and breast cancers. Colon, lung and breast cancers are the most common and lethal forms of the disease, collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year. Right now about a dozen laboratories, in the U.S., Canada and Britain, are racing to unmask other suspected tumor-suppressing genes. They have about seven candidates. 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 <t>versions</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to disambiguate the word "versions" in the context "if people inherit defective versions of these genes".

The context is about genes - defective versions of genes means variant forms of the same gene. This matches sense 2: "something a little different from others of the same type" with synonyms variant, variation, edition.

Genes have alleles/variants. "Defective versions of these genes" = defective variants of these genes. Sense 2 is clearly the best match.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "finally" in the context: "perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families."

Let me analyze the senses:
1. finally%4:02:02:: = after an unspecified period of time or an especially long delay (eventually)
2. finally%4:02:00:: = as the end result of a succession or process (ultimately, in the end, at last, at long last)
3. finally%4:02:03:: = the item at the end (last, lastly, in conclusion) - used for enumerating/discourse marker

In the context, "perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families" - here "finally" is a parenthetical discourse marker. It's not enumerating items in a list (not sense 3, since there's no sequence of points being made). It's not really "after a long delay" (sense 1) in the temporal sense.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase "explaining, finally, why..." suggests "ultimately explaining why" - as the end result of the research/succession of discoveries. The research has led to finally explaining the familial pattern. This fits sense 2: as the end result of a succession or process.

Sense 3 "lastly/in conclusion" is for listing items at the end of an enumeration. Here there's no enumeration - it's a single explanatory point. The commas around "finally" suggest it's parenthetical but meaning "ultimately/in the end" - the culmination of the explanation.

The research on tumor-suppressor genes, if inherited defective, explains (as the ultimate outcome/result) why cancers run in families. This is sense 2 - the end result of a process.

Answer: {"sense_index": 2}

Context: "The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that..."

Here "story" refers to the history/account of how tumor-suppressor genes were discovered/understood, going back to the 1970s. It's a narrative description of past events - the history of the scientific development.

Sense 1: narrative/narration/tale - a message telling particulars, presented in writing/drama/cinema/TV - more like a story as entertainment/artistic narrative
Sense 2: fiction piece - not applicable
Sense 3: floor/level - not applicable
Sense 4: history, account, chronicle - a record or narrative description of past events - "a history of France" - this fits "the story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s"
Sense 5: news report - not applicable
Sense 6: trivial lie - not applicable

The phrase "goes back to the 1970s" strongly indicates a historical account/chronicle of past events. Sense 4 is the best fit.

Target lemma: name
Target surface form: named
Context:
Colon, lung and breast cancers are the most common and lethal forms of the disease, collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year. Right now about a dozen laboratories, in the U.S., Canada and Britain, are racing to unmask other suspected tumor-suppressing genes. They have about seven candidates. 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 <t>named</t> 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 phrase "genetic defects" refers to defects in genes — relating to or produced by a gene. Sense 2: of or relating to or produced by or being a gene. Though "inherited" appears, "genetic defects" means gene-level defects, not merely familial occurrence. Sense 1 is "occurring among members of a family usually by heredity" — genetic defects could be inherited, but here one defect is inherited and one acquired later (Knudson's two-hit hypothesis: one inherited, one somatic mutation). So "genetic defects" = defects in genes. Sense 2. Return JSON.

Knudson's two-hit hypothesis was a proposed explanation, later validated. Sense 2 'construct a theory about' maybe closer to forming a theoretical model (Galileo theorized the motion of stars) with object; but target has proposition that infant inherited damaged copy. WordNet likely: theorize%2:31:00 (speculate etc.) is 'to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds'; in context 'he theorized that...' = conjectured/hypothesized that.

Target lemma: copy
Target surface form: copy
Context:
Right now about a dozen laboratories, in the U.S., Canada and Britain, are racing to unmask other suspected tumor-suppressing genes. They have about seven candidates. 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 <t>copy</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "parent" in the context: "an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other."

This clearly refers to a human father or mother - the infant inherited genes from one parent (mother or father) and the other parent. This is sense 1: a father or mother.

Sense 2 is about organisms from which younger ones are obtained - more general breeding/progenitor sense, often used for plants/animals in breeding contexts or cells. While humans are organisms, the specific context of an infant inheriting from a parent refers to the father/mother sense.

The answer is sense_index 1.

reasoning_content: We need answer only JSON object with sense_index. Need disambiguate. Context: 'The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged.' Target developed. Means tumor came into existence / arose / formed when second copy damaged. Need choose among senses. Candidate 5 'come into existence; take on form or shape' synonyms originate, arise, rise, uprise, spring up, grow; examples 'A new religious movement originated... a love sprang up...' Could fit tumor developed = arose. Candidate 10 'grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation...' examples flower developed on branch, country developed into superpower. Tumor developed could be grow through natural growth/process. But context specifically 'developed when the second normal copy also was damaged'—the tumor came into existence as result of two hits, not gradually matured? Need decide best indexed sense. In medical contexts 'tumor developed' often sense 4? 'come to have or undergo a change of physical features and attributes' examples 'patient developed abdominal pains' (acquire condition) but subject is tumor not patient; tumor developed = came to exist. Sense 5 'come into existence; take on form or shape' likely best: tumor arose when second copy damaged. Sense 20 'happen' synonyms break, recrudesce examples report news as it develops, political movements recrudesce—not fit. Sense 10 could fit biological growth: tumor grows through natural growth/differentiation/conducive environment. However the clause stresses a point in time/trigger: when second copy was damaged, tumor developed (originated). Knudson two-hit: tumor arises after both copies damaged. 'Developed' in cancer often means 'arose/form'. WordNet sense for 'develop' intransitive: come into existence; take on form/shape. A tumor is a thing that comes into existence. Sense 10 is more about growing/progressing/evolving over a process (flower developed on branch; country developed into superpower) and might include tumor growing. Need infer from examples: Sense 5 examples are abstract entities originating (religious movement, love), not physical tumor; but definition 'take on form or shape' fits tumor. Sense 10 examples include flower developed on branch (biological) and country developed into superpower; tumor developing could be natural growth/differentiation, but cancer is pathological not natural? It says 'through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment'. Tumor develops due to genetic damage in conducive environment. The phrase 'developed when the second... was damaged' indicates occurrence/origin rather than process of growth. In WSD tasks, for diseases: 'The patient developed abdominal pains' sense 4; 'He developed cancer' sense 4? Here subject 'the tumor developed' = came into being, not patient acquired. Sense 5.

reasoning_content: The target word "way" appears in "there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory" and "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes". The phrase "no way to prove" means no means/method to prove. This is sense 2: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means, agency). Sense 1 is manner (how something is done), but "way to prove" is a means to achieve a result. The best is sense 2. Return JSON only.
