Context:
Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises possibility of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere The discovery of a strange bacteria that can use arsenic as one of its nutrients widens the scope for finding new forms of life on Earth and possibly beyond. While researchers discovered the unusual bacteria here in Earth, they say it shows that life has possibilities beyond the major elements that have been considered essential. "This organism has dual capability." "It can grow with either phosphorus or arsenic." "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some <t>form</t> of truly 'alien' life," commented Paul C. W. Davies of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses arsenic-tolerant microbes and the possibility of new types of life on Earth or elsewhere. The word "life" here refers to living organisms collectively, or the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 10: "living things collectively" with example "the oceans are teeming with life"
- Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" with example "there is no life on the moon"

The context talks about "new types of life," "new forms of life," and "life has possibilities beyond the major elements." This is about the phenomenon of being alive / living organisms in general, not about a specific person's life or a characteristic state of living.

Sense 11 seems most appropriate because it's about the organic phenomenon of life itself - the fundamental nature of being alive. The discussion is about what constitutes life (the elements essential for it), which aligns with "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones."

Sense 10 is about living things collectively, which could also fit "new types of life." But the context is more about the phenomenon/nature of life itself rather than a collection of living things.

Actually, re-reading: "new types of life," "new forms of life," "life has possibilities beyond the major elements" - this is discussing the phenomenon of life, what it can be based on. Sense 11 fits best.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a report appearing in "Thursday's online edition of the journal Science." This refers to a specific issue/publication of the journal. Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "the form in which a text (especially a printed book) is published" - This is about the form of publication, not really fitting here.
2. "all of the identical copies of something offered to the public at the same time" - This could fit, as an edition of a journal is a set of copies published at the same time.
3. "an issue of a newspaper" - The example mentions "yesterday's edition of the Times," which is similar to "Thursday's online edition of the journal Science." However, this sense is specifically about newspapers, while the context is about a journal.
4. "something a little different from others of the same type" - This doesn't fit.

Between senses 2 and 3, sense 3 is specifically about newspapers, while sense 2 is more general about "identical copies offered to the public at the same time." The context mentions "journal Science," not a newspaper. However, sense 3's example "yesterday's edition of the Times" is structurally very similar to "Thursday's online edition of the journal Science."

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2 says "all of the identical copies of something offered to the public at the same time" with examples "the first edition appeared in 1920; it was too late for the morning edition." This is more general and could apply to journals too.

Sense 3 is specifically "an issue of a newspaper." The context is about a journal, not a newspaper. So sense 2 seems more appropriate.

Wait, but in common usage, "edition" of a journal is very similar to "edition" of a newspaper. The distinction in WordNet might be that sense 3 is specifically for newspapers. Since the context is about a journal (Science), sense 2 would be the better fit as it's more general.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 3 says "an issue of a newspaper" but the concept of an "edition" of a journal is essentially the same as an edition of a newspaper - it's a particular issue published at a particular time. The examples for sense 3 are very similar in structure to the context.

Hmm, but the definition specifically says "newspaper." The context says "journal." So sense 2 is more general and would cover journals as well.

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word "life" appears in the context: "Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur."

This is referring to the biological concept of life - the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones. The context discusses bacteria, nutrients, elements essential for biological organisms, etc.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

- sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" - this is about social life, city life
- sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - human experience
- sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual" - individual life
- sense 4: "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - general state of being alive, with example "life depends on many chemical and physical processes"
- sense 5: "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)" - lifetime
- sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time"
- sense 7: "the period from the present until death"
- sense 8: "a living person"
- sense 9: "animation and energy in action or expression"
- sense 10: "living things collectively" - "the oceans are teeming with life"
- sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" - "there is no life on the moon"
- sense 12: "an account of the series of events making up a person's life" - biography
- sense 13: "a motive for living"
- sense 14: "a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives"

The context is about elements essential for biological life. The example "there is no life on the moon" fits very well with this scientific/biological context. Sense 11 is "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" which matches perfectly with discussing the chemical elements essential for life.

Sense 4 has the example "life depends on many chemical and physical processes" which also seems relevant, but sense 11 is more specific to the biological/organism concept.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 11 is specifically about the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living from nonliving - this is the most precise match for "essential for life" in a biological/scientific context.

While researchers discovered the unusual bacteria here in Earth, they say it shows that life has possibilities beyond the major elements that have been considered essential. "This organism has dual capability." "It can grow with either phosphorus or arsenic." "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some form of truly 'alien' life," commented Paul C. W. Davies of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, <t>phosphorus</t> and sulfur. But the researchers found that the bacteria, discovered in Mono Lake, Calif., is able to continue to grow after substituting arsenic for phosphorus.

The target word "report" appears in the context of a scientific finding about bacteria that can grow with arsenic instead of phosphorus. The text mentions "a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science." This clearly refers to a written document describing research findings published in a scientific journal.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" - synonyms: study, written report - This fits perfectly. The report is a scientific study published in the journal Science.
2. "the act of informing by verbal report" - This doesn't fit; it's not a verbal report.
3. "a short account of the news" - This could be close but the context is about a scientific paper, not a news account.
4. "a sharp explosive sound" - Doesn't fit at all.
5. "a written evaluation of a student's scholarship" - Doesn't fit.
6. "an essay (especially one written as an assignment)" - Doesn't fit; it's a scientific research report.
7. "the general estimation that the public has for a person" - Doesn't fit.

Sense 1 is clearly the best match.

reasoning_content:
The target word "find" appears in the sentence: "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like, Anbar said."

Here, "find" refers to the discovery itself - the bacteria that was found that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus. This is a noun usage.

Let me consider the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=find%1:09:00:: | definition=a productive insight | synonyms=discovery, breakthrough
2. sense_key=find%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=discovery, uncovering

The context is talking about a scientific discovery - finding bacteria that can use arsenic instead of phosphorus. This is a significant scientific finding/discovery.

Sense 1 describes "a productive insight" - this could fit because the discovery is indeed a productive insight in astrobiology.
Sense 2 describes "the act of discovering something" - this is more about the process of discovery.

"The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth" - here "find" refers to the thing that was found (the discovery itself, the result), not the act of finding. It's being described as important because of what it reveals.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1: "a productive insight" - this is about the insight/result itself
- Sense 2: "the act of discovering something" - this is about the process

"The find is important" - the find (the thing found) is important. This seems more like the result/insight rather than the act.

However, "find" as a noun typically refers to something that has been found - a discovery. The distinction between "a productive insight" and "the act of discovering something" is subtle.

Looking at the examples that would typically accompany these senses:
- Sense 1 (productive insight): would be used for things like "a great find" meaning a valuable discovery
- Sense 2 (act of discovering): would be used for the process

In this context, "The find is important" - the find (the discovery/result) is important. This is more about what was found rather than the act of finding it.

I think Sense 1 is the better fit here because it's referring to the discovery itself as a productive insight that advances the field. The discovery of arsenic-using bacteria is indeed a productive insight for astrobiology.

Wait, let me reconsider. "Find" as a noun can mean either:
1. Something found (a discovery, an insight)
2. The act of finding

"The find is important" - this is saying the discovery is important. The discovery itself is what's important, not the act of discovering it.

Sense 1: "a productive insight" - this fits well because the discovery is a productive insight for the field.
Sense 2: "the act of discovering something" - this doesn't fit as well because we're not talking about the act being important, but the result.

I'll go with Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word "search" appears in the phrase "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like."

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. search%1:04:00:: - "the activity of looking thoroughly in order to find something or someone" (hunt, hunting)
2. search%1:04:02:: - "an investigation seeking answers" (examples: "a thorough search of the ledgers revealed nothing; the outcome justified the search")
3. search%1:22:00:: - "an operation that determines whether one or more of a set of items has a specified property" (lookup) - this is a computing sense
4. search%1:09:00:: - "the examination of alternative hypotheses" (examples: "his search for a move that would avoid checkmate was unsuccessful")
5. search%1:04:01:: - "boarding and inspecting a ship on the high seas" (right of search) - this is a legal/maritime sense

The context is about searching for life beyond Earth - this is an investigation seeking answers, not a physical hunt, not a computing operation, not examining alternative hypotheses, and not a maritime inspection.

Sense 2 "an investigation seeking answers" fits best. The phrase "search for life beyond Earth" is about an investigation seeking answers about whether life exists elsewhere.

The example "the outcome justified the search" is quite parallel - the outcome (the find) justified the search (for life beyond Earth).

Sense 1 (hunt/hunting) could also be considered, but "search" here is more about scientific investigation than a physical hunt. Sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses the search for life beyond Earth, the characteristics of living organisms (bacteria that can grow with arsenic), and whether something is truly "alien life." The target word "life" in "the search for life beyond Earth" and "what life looks like" refers to the phenomenon of living organisms - the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones.

Looking at the candidate senses:

- Sense 10 (life%1:03:00::): "living things collectively" - examples: "the oceans are teeming with life"
- Sense 11 (life%1:19:00::): "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" - examples: "there is no life on the moon"

Sense 11 is the best match. The context is about recognizing the phenomenon of life (living organisms) in the universe - whether something on another planet is alive. The example "there is no life on the moon" is very similar to "the search for life beyond Earth." This is about the biological phenomenon of being alive, not about a collection of living things.

reasoning_content:
The target word "life" appears in the context: "researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like"

This is in the context of a scientific article about bacteria that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus, and the search for life beyond Earth. The key question is about recognizing what constitutes life - distinguishing living organisms from non-living matter.

Looking at the candidate senses:

- Sense 10: "living things collectively" - examples: "the oceans are teeming with life"
- Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" - examples: "there is no life on the moon"
- Sense 4: "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - examples: "while there's life there's hope; life depends on many chemical and physical processes"

The context is about recognizing life in a scientific/astrobiological sense - what distinguishes living from non-living. Sense 11 specifically refers to "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" which fits perfectly with the scientific context of recognizing what life "looks like" in terms of biological characteristics.

Sense 10 is about living things collectively, which could also fit ("recognize life" = recognize living things), but sense 11 is more specifically about the phenomenon/quality that makes something alive, which aligns better with "know what life looks like" - knowing the characteristics/phenomena that define life.

The phrase "know what life looks like" suggests understanding the defining characteristics or phenomenon of life itself, not just identifying a collection of living things. This points to sense 11.

reasoning_content:
The target word "life" appears in the context: "to know what life looks like." This is about recognizing life beyond Earth, and the article discusses whether a microbe using arsenic instead of phosphorus qualifies as "alien life" and what life looks like in general.

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. "a characteristic state or mode of living" - like "social life" or "city life" - doesn't fit
2. "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - too human-specific
3. "the course of existence of an individual" - about individual lives
4. "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - about the state of being alive
5. "the period during which something is functional" - about duration
6. "the period between birth and the present time" - about duration
7. "the period from the present until death" - about duration
8. "a living person" - doesn't fit
9. "animation and energy in action or expression" - doesn't fit
10. "living things collectively" - doesn't quite fit
11. "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" - "there is no life on the moon" - this fits well! It's about recognizing what life is, the phenomenon of being alive biologically
12. "an account of the series of events making up a person's life" - biography - doesn't fit
13. "a motive for living" - doesn't fit
14. "a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives" - doesn't fit

The context is about recognizing life (as a biological phenomenon) beyond Earth. The sentence "researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like" is about being able to identify the phenomenon of life. This is most aligned with sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" with the example "there is no life on the moon."

Sense 4 is about "the condition of living or the state of being alive" which is close but sense 11 is more about the biological phenomenon of life itself, which is what's being discussed in the context of astrobiology and what constitutes "life."

Sense 11 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context says "did not disclose details of the find" - this means specific pieces of information about the discovery. This is about isolated facts or particular pieces of information.

Looking at the candidates:
1. "an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole" - synonyms: item, point - examples: "a point of information"
2. "a small part that can be considered separately from the whole" - synonyms: particular, item - examples: "perfect in all details"
3. "extended treatment of particulars" - too much detail
4. crew of workers - not relevant
5. military unit - not relevant

"Disclose details of the find" means revealing specific pieces of information about the discovery. This aligns with sense 1 (isolated facts/points of information) or sense 2 (small parts/particulars).

Sense 1 emphasizes "isolated fact" and "point of information" - this fits "disclose details" well, as it refers to specific pieces of information that would be revealed.

Sense 2 emphasizes "small part" considered separately, which is more about the structure of something (perfect in all details = every small aspect).

In the context of "did not disclose details of the find," we're talking about specific pieces of information being held back. This is more about isolated facts/points of information, so sense 1 seems best.

The target word is "find" in the context: "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth..." and "the announcement of a news conference to discuss it, which did not disclose details of the <t>find</t>".

Here, "find" refers to the discovery itself - the thing that was found (the arsenic-using bacteria).

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. find%1:09:00:: - "a productive insight" with synonyms: discovery, breakthrough
2. find%1:04:00:: - "the act of discovering something" with synonyms: discovery, uncovering

The key distinction:
- Sense 1 (1:09:00) is about the thing found - a discovery/breakthrough as an object/insight
- Sense 2 (1:04:00) is about the act of discovering

In the context, "The find" refers to the discovery itself - the finding, the thing that was found. The text says "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth" - this treats "find" as a thing (a discovery/breakdown), and "details of the find" - the details of what was discovered.

Sense 1 (1:09:00) - "a productive insight" with synonyms discovery, breakthrough - this fits better because "the find" here refers to the discovery itself as a thing/insight/breakthrough.

Sense 2 (1:04:00) - "the act of discovering something" - this would be more about the process/act.

The context treats "find" as a noun referring to the discovery itself (the bacteria findings), not the act of discovering. So sense 1 is the better choice.

reasoning_content:
The context: "generated widespread speculation on the Internet that the report would disclose the discovery of extraterrestrial life."

This is about people guessing/conjecturing based on incomplete evidence (the news conference didn't disclose details). This matches sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence" with synonyms guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise.

Sense 2 is about a hypothesis formed by speculating, which is similar but more about the hypothesis itself rather than the act/message of speculating. Sense 1 fits better because the "speculation" here refers to the widespread guessing/opinions expressed on the Internet.
