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 <t>way</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
The target word "way" appears in the sentence: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

In this context, "way" means "means" or "method" - it refers to how something could be done. The sentence is saying there was no means/method available to prove the theory.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with synonyms "means, agency" - this fits perfectly. "There was no way to prove" = "there was no means to prove"
- Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" with synonyms "manner, mode, style, fashion" - this is more about the manner in which something is done, not whether it can be done at all.

Sense 2 is the best match because "no way to prove" means "no means to prove" - it's about the availability of a method/means to achieve an end.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."

Here, "prove" means to demonstrate or establish the validity of the theory. This matches sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" with synonyms demonstrate, establish, show.

Sense 4 is about mathematical/formal proof, which is not the case here.
Sense 3 is about providing evidence, which is closer but sense 2 is more appropriate as it's about establishing validity.

The answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "way" in the sentence: "Back then, scientists had no <t>way</t> of ferreting out specific genes..."

This means "scientists had no means/method of ferreting out specific genes." So "way" here refers to a means or method of achieving something.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: | definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion
2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: | definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency
3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: | definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction
4. sense_key=way%1:26:00:: | definition=the condition of things generally
5. sense_key=way%1:04:00:: | definition=a course of conduct | synonyms=path, way of life
6. sense_key=way%1:06:00:: | definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage
7. sense_key=way%1:04:02:: | definition=a journey or passage
8. sense_key=way%1:23:00:: | definition=space for movement
9. sense_key=way%1:07:02:: | definition=the property of distance in general
10. sense_key=way%1:09:00:: | definition=doing as one pleases or chooses
11. sense_key=way%1:09:01:: | definition=a general category of things
12. sense_key=way%1:21:00:: | definition=a portion of something divided into shares

The phrase "had no way of ferreting out specific genes" means they didn't have the means or method to do so. This matches sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with synonyms "means, agency."

Sense 1 is about manner/mode (how something is done), while sense 2 is about means (how a result is obtained). The phrase "had no way of [doing something]" is more about means/method to achieve a result, which is sense 2.

The answer should be sense index 2.

Context:
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 <t>pairs</t> of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible.

reasoning_content:
The context talks about "23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes." This refers to the biological pairs of chromosomes - each chromosome has a homologous pair. The sense that best fits is "two items of the same kind" which is sense 2, or "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" which is sense 1.

Looking at the definitions:
1. "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" - synonyms: brace
2. "two items of the same kind" - synonyms: couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke

In biological context, "pairs of chromosomes" refers to homologous chromosomes - two items of the same kind. Sense 2 seems more appropriate as it specifically mentions "two items of the same kind," which fits the biological concept of chromosome pairs perfectly. However, sense 1 also works well - "a set of two similar things considered as a unit."

The chromosome pairs are considered as a unit (sense 1) and they are two items of the same kind (sense 2).

In WordNet, "23 pairs of chromosomes" - this is a classic example of items considered together as matching sets. Sense 1 is more about the unit concept, while sense 2 is more about the two items being the same kind.

For chromosomes, the pairs are literally two of the same kind (homologous pairs), so sense 2 fits well. But sense 1 emphasizes them as a unit, which is also how we think of chromosome pairs.

I'll go with sense 1, as "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" best captures the idea of chromosome pairs being treated as a single unit in the cell.

The context is about biology - specifically about genes, chromosomes, and cancer. The sentence mentions "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes." This clearly refers to biological cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of organisms.

Sense 2 is the biology sense: "(biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals"

This is the correct sense.

The context is about cells that "contain" the genes. This means the cells hold or have the genes within them. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "include or contain; have as a component" - synonyms: incorporate, comprise. Examples: "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's"
2. "contain or hold; have within" - synonyms: hold, bear, carry. Examples: "The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water"
5. "be capable of holding or containing" - synonyms: take, hold. Examples: "This box won't take all the items; The flask holds one gallon"

The sentence says "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes." This is about cells holding genes within them.

Sense 2 says "contain or hold; have within" with examples like "The canteen holds fresh water" - this seems very similar to cells holding genes.
Sense 5 says "be capable of holding or containing" - this is about capacity, like "This box won't take all the items."

Sense 2 is more about actively having something within, while sense 5 is about capacity. The cells "contain" the genes means the cells have the genes within them, which aligns more with sense 2's "have within" meaning.

Sense 1 is about being a component or comprising - like "The record contains many old songs" where the songs are part of the record's content. This could also work, but the physical metaphor of cells containing genes is more about holding within.

Between sense 1 and sense 2, the context is about cells physically holding genes within them. Sense 2 with "have within" and examples like "The canteen holds fresh water" fits well. Sense 1 with "comprise" suggests the genes are components/part of the cells.

Actually, both could work. But "contain" in biological context where "cells contain genes" is typically about having within. Sense 2 seems best.

Wait, let me reconsider. Sense 1: "include or contain; have as a component" with "comprise" - this is more about the relationship of parts to whole, like the songs are part of the record. Sense 2: "contain or hold; have within" with "hold, bear, carry" - this is more physical containment.

The cells containing genes is a case of physical containment - the genes are within the cells. Sense 2 fits better.

I'll go with sense 2.

The user wants me to choose the best sense for "contain" in the context. The context is: "but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

Here, "contain" means that the cells have the genes within them - they hold/have the genes inside.

Looking at the candidates:
1. include or contain; have as a component (incorporate, comprise) - this is about being a component of something
2. contain or hold; have within (hold, bear, carry) - this is about having something within
3. lessen the intensity of - doesn't fit
4. be divisible by - doesn't fit
5. be capable of holding or containing - this is about capacity
6. hold back, as of a danger or an enemy - doesn't fit

The cells "have" the genes within them. This is sense 2: "contain or hold; have within" - the cells have the genes within them. The example "The canteen holds fresh water" is similar - the canteen has water within it.

Sense 1 is about being a component (X contains Y means Y is a part of X in a compositional sense).
Sense 2 is about having something physically within.

Since cells physically hold/have genes within them, sense 2 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The context is about tumor-suppressor genes and retinoblastoma. The sentence in question is: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

Here, "damage" refers to physical harm or injury to chromosomes that can be observed under a microscope. This is about the occurrence of a change for the worse - harm or impairment to the chromosomes.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=damage%1:11:00:: | definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment
2. sense_key=damage%1:11:01:: | definition=loss of military equipment | synonyms=equipment casualty

5. sense_key=damage%1:04:01:: | definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right | synonyms=wrong, legal injury

Sense 1 is about the occurrence of a change for the worse (harm, impairment) - this fits because "chromosome damage" refers to the state/occurrence of harm to the chromosomes.
Sense 3 is about the act of damaging something - this would be more about the process of causing damage.

In "gross chromosome damage was visible" - this is referring to the damage itself as a state/condition that was visible, not the act of damaging. So sense 1 (the occurrence of a change for the worse) fits better than sense 3 (the act of damaging).

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word "visible" in the context: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was <t>visible</t>."

This is about chromosome damage being seen under a microscope. It's describing something that can be seen, i.e., it's observable/capable of being seen. The word refers to the physical ability to see something.

Sense 1: "capable of being seen; or open to easy view" - synonyms: seeable - examples: "a visible object; visible stars"
Sense 2: "obvious to the eye" - examples: "a visible change of expression"
Sense 3: "present and easily available" - this doesn't fit.

The context is about gross chromosome damage being observable under a microscope. This aligns most with sense 1 - "capable of being seen." The damage was visible (could be seen) under the microscope. While sense 2 is similar, it leans more toward something being obvious/notable. Here, it's about the capability of being seen.

Sense 1 fits best.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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."

Here, "found" means he discovered/determined that some children had inherited a damaged copy. This is about discovering or determining the existence/presence/fact of something through investigation/observation.

Let me look at the candidates:

- Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - synonyms: detect, observe, discover, notice. Examples: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water; We found traces of lead in the paint"
- Sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - synonyms: determine, find out, ascertain. Examples: "find the product of two numbers; The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize"
- Sense 9: "make a discovery" - synonyms: discover. Examples: "She found that he had lied to her"

The context involves Dr. Knudson investigating and discovering a fact about children with eye cancer. This is discovering or determining the existence of something through scientific observation.

Sense 2 seems like a good fit - "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of." The example "We found traces of lead in the paint" is very similar to the scientific discovery context.

Sense 4 is about establishing after a calculation/investigation/experiment - this also fits well since it's a scientific investigation.

Sense 9 is about making a discovery, and "She found that he had lied to her" is structurally similar to "Dr. Knudson found that some children..."

Let me think more carefully. The sentence says "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13." This is him discovering/determining a fact through his investigation.

Sense 2 is about discovering or determining the existence, presence, or fact of something - this fits well because he's determining the fact that children inherited damaged chromosomes.

Sense 4 is about establishing after a calculation, investigation, experiment - this is also fitting.

Sense 9 "make a discovery" with the example "She found that he had lied to her" - the structure is very similar.

Between these, I think Sense 2 is the best match because it specifically mentions "determine the existence, presence, or fact of" which directly matches what's happening - Knudson is determining the fact that some children had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome 13. The example "We found traces of lead in the paint" parallels the scientific discovery of genetic patterns.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 4 specifically mentions "investigation, experiment, survey, or study" which is very relevant to scientific research. Knudson's work was an investigation/study.

But looking at sense 2 more carefully: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms detect, observe, discover, notice. The example about finding traces of lead is similar to finding damaged chromosomes under a microscope.

I think Sense 2 is the best fit. The context is about Dr. Knudson observing under a microscope and determining the fact that some children had inherited damaged chromosomes. The sense is about discovering/determining a fact through observation.

Wait, I should also consider Sense 9: "make a discovery" with example "She found that he had lied to her." The structure is similar. But sense 9 is more general about making a discovery.

I'll go with Sense 2 as it most specifically captures the meaning of discovering or determining a fact through observation/investigation.

reasoning_content:
The context is about "eye cancer" - this refers to retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye. The text discusses inherited gene damage related to eye cancer. The word "eye" here refers to the organ of sight.

Sense 1: "the organ of sight" - This matches perfectly. The cancer is in the eye, referring to the organ.

Sense 2: "good discernment" - No, this is not about visual discernment.
Sense 3: "attention to what is seen" - No.
Sense 4: "an area that is approximately central" - No.
Sense 5: "a small hole or loop" - No.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about genetics. "Copy" here refers to a copy of a gene or chromosome - one of the two versions inherited from parents. This is similar to the "clone" or "replica" sense - a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing. Specifically, it's a biological copy (allele/instance) of a gene.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. copy%1:10:00:: - reproduction of a written record (transcript) - not this
2. copy%1:06:00:: - a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing (example: "the clone was a copy of its ancestor") - this fits perfectly
3. copy%1:10:02:: - material suitable for a journalistic account - not this
4. copy%1:10:01:: - matter to be printed - not this

Wait, let me re-count. The candidate senses listed are:
1. copy%1:10:00::
2. copy%1:06:00::
3. copy%1:10:01::
4. copy%1:10:02::

So sense_index 2 corresponds to copy%1:06:00:: which is the "thing made to be similar or identical" sense. This is the best match because in genetics, each parent contributes a "copy" of a gene/chromosome - it's an identical instance/similar version. The example "the clone was a copy of its ancestor" is very analogous.

The sentence is: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

Here, "actually" is used to emphasize that he could truly/really see the missing piece under the microscope. It's confirming the reality of the observation. This matches sense 1: "in actual fact" with synonym "really." The example "no one actually saw the shark" is similar in that it emphasizes the reality of the seeing.

Sense 2 is for surprise/expectation, which doesn't fit here.
Sense 3 is for "at the present moment," which doesn't fit.
Sense 4 is used as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis, often at the beginning of a sentence. Here "actually" is mid-sentence modifying "could see," emphasizing the realness of the action.

The best fit is sense 1.

Context:
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 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 <t>bit</t> of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer.
