Context:
Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit 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. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer. The team used a battery of the newly developed "gene probes, "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell. By analyzing cells <t>extracted</t> from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome. The finding riveted medicine.

reasoning_content:
The target word "eye" appears in the phrase "eye tumors." This refers to tumors of the eye (the organ of sight). The context is about retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye, and chromosome 13 defects. So "eye" here refers to the organ of sight.

Sense 1: "the organ of sight" - this matches perfectly.
Sense 2: "good discernment" - doesn't fit.
Sense 3: "attention to what is seen" - doesn't fit.
Sense 4: "an area that is approximately central" - doesn't fit.
Sense 5: "a small hole or loop" - doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a scientific team using gene probes to analyze cells and finding defects in chromosome 13. The word "found" here means they discovered the defects through their investigation/analysis. Let me look at the candidate senses.

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 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding" - synonyms: discover. Examples: "Roentgen discovered X-rays; Physicists believe they found a new elementary particle"

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"

The team "found defects" in chromosome 13 through their analysis using gene probes. This is a scientific discovery made through investigation.

Sense 4 seems very fitting - they established a finding after investigation/study.
Sense 2 also fits - they discovered the existence of defects.
Sense 8 is about making a discovery/finding.

Let me think more carefully. The sentence says "they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome." This is about discovering/detecting defects through scientific analysis.

Sense 2 ("discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of") with synonyms detect, observe, discover, notice seems very close - they detected/found the presence of defects.

Sense 4 is more about establishing a result after calculation or study - "find the product of two numbers" - this is more about determining a value or outcome.

Sense 8 is about making a discovery - "make a discovery, make a new finding."

The earlier sentence says "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee... found the answer." This could be sense 4 (find out/ascertain) or sense 8 (make a discovery).

For "they found defects" - this is detecting the existence of defects, which aligns well with sense 2.

But actually, the overall context is about a scientific investigation establishing a finding. The "found" in "they found defects" means they discovered the defects were present. This could be sense 2 (discover or determine existence) or sense 8 (make a discovery).

Let me look at the examples more carefully:
- Sense 2: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water" - detecting something's existence
- Sense 8: "Roentgen discovered X-rays" - making a major discovery

The team's finding of defects in chromosome 13 is both detecting existence and making a discovery. But sense 2 is more specifically about detecting the existence/presence of something, while sense 8 is about making a new finding/discovery.

Given the scientific context and the nature of finding defects through analysis, I think sense 2 fits best - they discovered/detected the presence of defects. The synonyms "detect, observe, discover, notice" align with finding defects through analysis.

Actually, re-reading: "they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13" - this is detecting the existence of defects. Sense 2 seems most appropriate.

But wait, sense 4 also fits well because it's "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - and the team used gene probes (experiment/investigation) to establish this finding. The example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" is quite similar in nature.

Hmm, this is a tough call between sense 2 and sense 4. Let me think about the distinction.

Sense 2 is about discovering that something exists (detect, observe).
Sense 4 is about establishing a result/finding through systematic investigation.

The team systematically investigated and established a finding. Sense 4's "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" seems to capture this better.

But the example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" - that physicist detected the particle's existence, which could also be sense 2.

Looking at sense 2's examples again: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water" - this is about detecting the presence/existence of something. "We found traces of lead in the paint" - again, finding evidence of something's presence.

In the target context, they "found defects" - they detected the presence of defects. This aligns with sense 2.

I'll go with sense 2.

Wait, let me reconsider. The first sentence with "found the answer" - that's about finding/ascertaining the answer to a question. That could be sense 4 (determine, find out, ascertain). The second use "found defects" - that's about detecting the presence of defects, sense 2.

Since we're focused on the target word "<t>found</t>" which is in "they found defects," I should focus on that specific usage.

"They found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13" - they detected/observed/discovered the existence of defects. This is sense 2.

Final answer: sense 2.

The context is about genetic defects in chromosome 13 - specifically missing genes in chromosome copies. This refers to an imperfection in a bodily system (genetic/bodily). Sense 1 is "an imperfection in a bodily system" with examples like "visual defects" and detection of defects in lungs. This fits genetic defects in chromosomes well.

Sense 3 is about imperfections in objects/machines, which doesn't fit chromosomes in a biological context.
Sense 2 is about a failing or deficiency, more abstract.
Sense 4 is about marks on a person's body/appearance.

The best fit is sense 1.

The context says "in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome." This means "precisely the same area." The word here is used to indicate precise location/position - that the defects were in the precise/same area as in the first copy. This relates to precision and strict accordance with fact (the actual location).

Sense 1: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact" - this fits "the exact area" meaning precisely the same/that very area.
Sense 2: "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct" - this is more about correctness of ideas, images, representations, expressions.

The phrase "the exact area" means "the very same area" / "precisely that area." This is about strict accordance with fact (the location is exactly the same). Sense 1 seems more appropriate with its example "an exact copy" - meaning precisely the same.

Sense 1 is the better choice.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "first" in the context: "defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the <t>first</t> copy of the chromosome."

Here, "first" is referring to the first of two copies of chromosome 13 - it's indicating the first in a series of copies. This is an ordinal use, indicating position in a series.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=first%3:00:00:: - preceding all others in time or space or degree
2. sense_key=first%5:00:00:ordinal:00 - indicating the beginning unit in a series
3. sense_key=first%5:00:00:opening:00 - serving to set in motion
4. sense_key=first%5:00:01:opening:00 - serving to begin
5. sense_key=first%5:00:00:best:00 - ranking above all others
6. sense_key=first%3:00:03:: - highest in pitch

The context is about "the first copy" and "the second copy" of chromosome 13. This is clearly ordinal - it's the first in a series of two copies. Sense 2 (ordinal, indicating the beginning unit in a series) fits best.

Wait, but sense 1 also could apply - "preceding all others in time or space or degree." But sense 2 is specifically about being ordinal (1st), which fits the "first... second..." pattern perfectly.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 1 is an adjective sense (3:00:00), and sense 2 is an ordinal adjective (5:00:00:ordinal:00). In the context of "first copy... second copy," this is clearly ordinal usage. Sense 2 with synonyms "1st" fits perfectly.

I'll go with sense 2.

The target word "finding" in this context refers to the result or discovery made by Webster Cavenee's team. The context says "The finding riveted medicine. It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer." This is clearly referring to something that was found/discovered - a result of their research.

Sense 1 is about "the act of determining" - the process itself.
Sense 2 is about a court decision.
Sense 3 is about "something that is found" - a result or discovery.

The best match is sense 3, as the finding here is the discovery/result - the revelation that loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to cancer. This is something that was found, not the act of finding it.

The target word "first" appears in the phrase "It was the first time anyone had showed that..."

This is referring to the first occurrence in time - the initial instance. Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=first%3:00:00:: | definition=preceding all others in time or space or degree
2. sense_key=first%5:00:00:ordinal:00 | definition=indicating the beginning unit in a series

6. sense_key=first%3:00:03:: | definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections

"The first time" refers to the initial/preceding occurrence in time. This is an ordinal use - it's the first in a series of times.

Looking at sense 2: "indicating the beginning unit in a series" with synonyms "1st" - this is the ordinal sense.
Looking at sense 1: "preceding all others in time or space or degree" - this is the adjective sense.

"The first time" - this is using "first" as an ordinal adjective modifying "time." It's indicating position in a series of times (the first one).

Sense 2 is the ordinal sense (5:00:00:ordinal:00), which fits "the first time" - it's the beginning unit in a series.

Sense 1 is also about preceding in time, but it's more general.

I think sense 2 is the best fit because "the first time" is specifically an ordinal usage - it's the 1st time, indicating the beginning of a series of times.

The sentence is: "It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."

Here, "first" is used to indicate the initial occurrence in a temporal sequence - it's the first time something happened. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=first%3:00:00:: | definition=preceding all others in time or space or degree | examples=the first house on the right; the first day of spring
2. sense_key=first%5:00:00:ordinal:00 | definition=indicating the beginning unit in a series | synonyms=1st

6. sense_key=first%3:00:03:: | definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano; the first violin section

"It was the first time anyone had showed..." - this is using "first" in a temporal sense, meaning "preceding all others in time." The phrase "the first time" indicates that this event came before all other similar events. This matches sense 1, which has the definition "preceding all others in time or space or degree" and the example "the first day of spring."

Wait, but sense 2 is "indicating the beginning unit in a series" with synonym "1st" - this is the ordinal sense. Hmm.

Actually, "the first time" is typically considered an ordinal use, marking the position in a series of times. But sense 1 is more specifically about temporal precedence.

Let me think more carefully. "The first time" - is this ordinal (sense 2) or temporal precedence (sense 1)?

In WordNet, sense 1 is the adjective sense about "preceding all others in time" while sense 2 is the adverb ordinal sense "1st".

"The first time anyone had showed" - "first" here modifies "time" and indicates the initial instance. This is about temporal ordering - it preceded all other times. Sense 1 captures this with "preceding all others in time."

Sense 2 is more about being the 1st in a countable series. "It was the first time" is expressing that this was the initial occurrence, which is about temporal precedence.

I'll go with sense 1.

The context is: "It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."

This means "showed" here means "demonstrated" or "established the validity of" something. The team demonstrated/proved that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to cancer.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" with synonyms prove, demonstrate, establish - this fits perfectly.
- Sense 3: "provide evidence for" with synonyms testify, bear witness, prove, evidence - this could also fit but sense 2 is more specific to establishing validity through experiment/example.

The example for sense 2 is "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound" which is very similar to our context where an experiment/research demonstrated that gene loss leads to cancer.

Sense 2 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The target word "same" in the context "the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer" refers to identical copies of a specific gene—the same gene that was defective in both copies. This is about identity (the same specific gene), not about similarity or equality in amount.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=same%3:00:02:: | definition=same in identity | examples=the same man I saw yesterday; never wore the same dress twice
2. sense_key=same%3:00:00:: | definition=closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree | examples=curtains the same color as the walls; two girls of the same age
3. sense_key=same%3:00:04:: | definition=equal in amount or value | synonyms=like | examples=like amounts; equivalent amounts
4. sense_key=same%5:00:00:unchanged:00 | definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same; his attitude is the same as ever

The context is about "both copies of the same gene" - this means the identical gene (same in identity). The sense 1 "same in identity" fits best here. The sentence is saying that both copies that were lost were copies of the very same gene (identical gene).

reasoning_content:
The context is: "It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."

Here, "lead to" means "result in" or "cause to happen." The loss of genes leads to (results in) the eruption of cancer.

Looking at the candidate senses:

3. sense_key=lead%2:42:12:: | definition=tend to or result in | examples=This remark lead to further arguments among the guests

This matches perfectly. The example "This remark lead to further arguments among the guests" is very similar in structure to "the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."

Sense 9 (be conducive to) is also close but sense 3 is more direct with "result in."

Sense 5 (cause to undertake a certain action) doesn't fit because it's about causing someone to do something, not causing an outcome.

Sense 2 (have as a result or residue) is about leaving behind something, not quite the same.

The best match is sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context is about cancer research - the loss of both copies of a gene leading to the "eruption" of a cancer. This is a metaphorical use meaning the sudden onset/occurrence of cancer.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. Volcanic eruption - not literal
2. Symptom consisting of breaking out and becoming visible - this is about skin symptoms
3. Volcanos pouring out fumes/lava - not literal
4. A sudden violent spontaneous occurrence (usually of some undesirable condition) - synonyms: outbreak, irruption - this fits well with the metaphorical use of "eruption" for cancer
5. A sudden very loud noise - no
6. Emergence of a tooth - no

Sense 4 fits best - "a sudden violent spontaneous occurrence (usually of some undesirable condition)" with synonyms outbreak, irruption. Cancer erupting is like an outbreak of disease.

The target word is "satisfying" in the context: "It was extraordinarily satisfying," says Dr. Knudson. This is about the feeling of being gratified or pleased by a scientific discovery being confirmed.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=satisfying%5:00:00:wholesome:00 | definition=providing abundant nourishment | synonyms=hearty, solid, square, substantial | examples=a hearty meal; good solid food

This sense is about food/nourishment, which doesn't fit the context at all.

2. sense_key=satisfying%5:00:00:satisfactory:00 | definition=providing freedom from worry | synonyms=comforting, cheering

This sense is about providing comfort/cheer, which is closer but still not perfect. The word "satisfying" in this context means "giving satisfaction" or "gratifying."

Wait, but the sense provided is "providing freedom from worry" with synonyms "comforting, cheering." This could relate to the feeling of satisfaction from a scientific breakthrough - it provides comfort and relief.

Actually, looking more carefully, the context is about being convinced that a hypothesis was correct and having it proven. "Satisfying" here means "gratifying" or "fulfilling."

Between the two options, sense 2 is clearly better than sense 1 (which is about food). The comforting/cheering sense fits reasonably well with the idea of a scientific discovery bringing emotional satisfaction and relief.

I'll go with sense 2.

The target word is "says" in the context of a direct quote: "It was extraordinarily satisfying, says Dr. Knudson..."

This is a simple reporting verb used to introduce a direct quotation. Dr. Knudson is expressing his thoughts in words. This matches sense 1: "express in words" with synonyms "state, tell."

Let me consider the other options:
- Sense 2 (allege/aver): This is more about asserting something potentially unproven. Here, Dr. Knudson is simply stating his feelings, not alleging.
- Sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement; declare): This could work, but sense 1 is more general and fits better for a simple quote attribution.
- Sense 8 (utter aloud): This is also possible, but sense 1 is more standard for quote attribution.

Sense 1 is the best fit for a simple reporting verb introducing a direct quote where someone is expressing their thoughts in words.

reasoning_content:
The target word "now" appears in the context: "says Dr. Knudson, <t>now</t> at Fox Chase Cancer Research Center in Philadelphia."

This is referring to Dr. Knudson's current location/affiliation. The context is a historical narration about past events, and "now" is used to indicate his current position at the time of the quote/narration, distinguishing it from his past position mentioned earlier ("then at the University of Utah" referring to Cavenee).

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=now%4:02:05:: - "in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events" - This fits well because the sentence is narrating past events and "now" refers to the current time of Dr. Knudson (as opposed to the past time being discussed).
2. sense_key=now%4:02:00:: - "in these times; nowadays, today" - Less specific to this narrative context.
4. sense_key=now%4:02:04:: - "at the present moment" - Generic present moment sense.

The example for sense 1 is very relevant: "Washington now decides to cross the Delaware" - this is about historical narration where "now" marks the current point in the story relative to past events being narrated.

In this context, we're narrating past events (the discovery of cancer genes), and "now" indicates Dr. Knudson's current (at the time of the quote/article) location, contrasting with past events. This is the "historical present" sense - using present tense to describe current status while narrating past events.

Sense 1 seems best.

reasoning_content:
The target word "true" appears in the context: "I was convinced that what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers."

Here, "true" is used in the sense of "consistent with fact or reality" or "expressing the truth." The sentence is saying that what applies to retinoblastoma would also apply to all cancers - meaning what is true/factual about retinoblastoma would be true/factual for all cancers.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=true%3:00:00:: | definition=consistent with fact or reality; not false
4. sense_key=true%3:00:04:: | definition=expressing or given to expressing the truth

Sense 1 is about something being consistent with fact or reality - this fits "what was true of retinoblastoma would be true for all cancers" - meaning what is factually the case about retinoblastoma would be factually the case for all cancers.

Sense 4 is about expressing truth - more about statements/truthfulness.

The best fit is sense 1, as it's about something being factually true/accurate, consistent with reality.
