Which numbered sense of "part" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Cockell was not <t>part</t> of the research team.

Senses:
1. definition=something determined in relation to something that includes it | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself
2. definition=something less than the whole of a human artifact | examples=the rear part of the house
3. definition=a portion of a natural object | examples=they analyzed the river into three parts
4. definition=that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation | examples=it requires vigilance on our part
5. definition=the extended spatial location of something | examples=the farming regions of France
6. definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | examples=the function of a teacher
7. definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
8. definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash
9. definition=one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | examples=the written part of the exam
10. definition=a line of scalp that can be seen when sections of hair are combed in opposite directions | examples=his part was right in the middle
11. definition=the melody carried by a particular voice or instrument in polyphonic music | examples=he tried to sing the tenor part
12. definition=the part played by a person in bringing about a result | examples=I am proud of my contribution in advancing the project

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Cockell was not part of the research team."
The word "part" is used to mean a member or component of a group (the research team).
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=something determined in relation to something that includes it | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself
2. definition=something less than the whole of a human artifact | examples=the rear part of the house
3. definition=a portion of a natural object | examples=they analyzed the river into three parts
4. definition=that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation | examples=it requires vigilance on our part
5. definition=the extended spatial location of something | examples=the farming regions of France
6. definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | examples=the function of a teacher
7. definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
8. definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash
9. definition=one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | examples=the written part of the exam
10. definition=a line of scalp...
11. definition=the melody...
12. definition=the part played by a person...

Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" -> "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself". "Cockell was not part of the research team." This fits perfectly. Being a member or included in a group.

Let's check Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided..." -> "the written part of the exam". Doesn't fit as well as Sense 1.

"Cockell was not part of the research team" -> "part of [a group]".
Sense 1 examples: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself".
This matches "part of the research team".

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.
Let me double check WordNet synsets for "part".
Synset 1: part, portion (something determined in relation to something that includes it) "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself"; "I read a portion of the manuscript"; "the smaller part of the book"; "this is only a part of the problem" -> wait, "part of the research team" means being a member.
Is there another synset?
"member" is not part.
But let's look at the given options.
1. something determined in relation to something that includes it
9. one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided...

In WordNet:
part, portion, parcel (something determined in relation to something that includes it) "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself"
part, portion (one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole) "the written part of the exam"

"Cockell was not part of the research team" -> part of a group.
Sense 1 fits best.
I will return 1.

Which numbered sense of "work" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: "This <t>work</t> is novel because it shows the substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell.

Senses:
1. definition=activity directed toward making or doing something | examples=she checked several points needing further work
2. definition=a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing | examples=it is not regarded as one of his more memorable works
3. definition=the occupation for which you are paid | examples=he is looking for employment
4. definition=applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading) | examples=mastering a second language requires a lot of work
5. definition=(physics) a manifestation of energy; the transfer of energy from one physical system to another expressed as the product of a force and the distance through which it moves a body in the direction of that force | examples=work equals force times distance
6. definition=a place where work is done | examples=he arrived at work early today
7. definition=the total output of a writer or artist (or a substantial part of it) | examples=he studied the entire Wagnerian oeuvre

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This <t>work</t> is novel because it shows the substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell.

The word "work" refers to a scientific study, paper, or research project.
Let's look at the senses:
1. activity directed toward making or doing something
2. a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing (e.g., "it is not regarded as one of his more memorable works", "this work is novel")
3. occupation
4. applying the mind
5. physics
6. place
7. total output of a writer or artist

Sense 2 fits best: "a product produced or accomplished...". A scientific paper or study is a product of research effort. "This work is novel..." refers to the paper/study itself as a product.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: activity. "This activity is novel..." - maybe, but usually "work" in "this work is novel" refers to the research paper or the specific study (the product).
Sense 2: a product produced or accomplished... examples: "it is not regarded as one of his more memorable works". "This work" = this paper/study.

Is there any other sense? No.
I'll select 2.
Wait, "work" as in a scientific paper. "This work is novel..." -> product of effort.
Yes, 2.

Which numbered sense of "substitution" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: "This work is novel because it shows the <t>substitution</t> of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell.

Senses:
1. definition=an event in which one thing is substituted for another | examples=the replacement of lost blood by a transfusion of donor blood
2. definition=the act of putting one thing or person in the place of another: | examples=he sent Smith in for Jones but the substitution came too late to help

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This work is novel because it shows the <t>substitution</t> of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell.
The word is "substitution".
Sense 1: definition=an event in which one thing is substituted for another | examples=the replacement of lost blood by a transfusion of donor blood
Sense 2: definition=the act of putting one thing or person in the place of another: | examples=he sent Smith in for Jones but the substitution came too late to help

In the sentence, "substitution of one element for another" refers to an event or instance where one chemical element replaces another in a biochemical structure.
Sense 1 focuses on "an event in which one thing is substituted for another" (like replacement of blood).
Sense 2 focuses on "the act of putting one thing or person in the place of another" (like substituting a player in a game).

"substitution of one element for another" is more about the event/phenomenon of one thing being substituted for another in a chemical/biochemical context, akin to "replacement". Sense 1 fits better as it's an event/phenomenon (replacement of lost blood), whereas Sense 2 is more about the deliberate act of putting a person/thing in place of another (sports, etc.). Let's check WordNet.
WordNet synsets for "substitution":
1. substitution, replacement, replacing, switch, swap (an event in which one thing is substituted for another) "the replacement of lost blood by a transfusion of donor blood"
2. substitution (the act of putting one thing or person in the place of another) "he sent Smith in for Jones but the substitution came too late to help"

In the context of chemistry/biochemistry, "substitution" refers to the event/phenomenon where one element replaces another. Thus, Sense 1.
Let's double check. "substitution of one element for another" -> an event in which one thing is substituted for another.
Yes, Sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "element" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: "This work is novel because it shows the substitution of one <t>element</t> for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell.

Senses:
1. definition=an abstract part of something | examples=jealousy was a component of his character
2. definition=an artifact that is one of the individual parts of which a composite entity is made up; especially a part that can be separated from or attached to a system | examples=spare components for cars
3. definition=any of the more than 100 known substances (of which 92 occur naturally) that cannot be separated into simpler substances and that singly or in combination constitute all matter
4. definition=the most favorable environment for a plant or animal | examples=water is the element of fishes
5. definition=one of four substances thought in ancient and medieval cosmology to constitute the physical universe | examples=the alchemists believed that there were four elements
6. definition=the situation in which you are happiest and most effective | examples=in your element
7. definition=a straight line that generates a cylinder or cone

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This work is novel because it shows the substitution of one <t>element</t> for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell.
The context talks about substituting one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure. This refers to chemical elements (like carbon, silicon, arsenic, phosphorus, etc.).
Looking at the senses:
1. abstract part
2. artifact / component
3. chemical element (any of the more than 100 known substances...)
4. favorable environment
5. ancient cosmology element
6. situation in which you are happiest
7. straight line

Sense 3 matches "chemical element".
Therefore, the correct sense number is 3.
Let me double check. Biochemistry, substitution of one element for another (e.g., arsenic for phosphorus in DNA, which was a famous controversial paper by Felisa Wolfe-Simon, often commented on by Charles Cockell). Yes, it's chemical element.
Sense 3 is the correct one.
Number: 3.

Which numbered sense of "structure" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: "This work is novel because it shows the substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical <t>structure</t>," added Cockell.

Senses:
1. definition=a thing constructed; a complex entity constructed of many parts | examples=the structure consisted of a series of arches
2. definition=the manner of construction of something and the arrangement of its parts | examples=artists must study the structure of the human body
3. definition=the complex composition of knowledge as elements and their combinations | examples=his lectures have no structure
4. definition=a particular complex anatomical part of a living thing | examples=he has good bone structure
5. definition=the people in a society considered as a system organized by a characteristic pattern of relationships | examples=the social organization of England and America is very different

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This work is novel because it shows the substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical <t>structure</t>," added Cockell.
The word is "structure".
In the context of "biochemical structure", it refers to the manner of construction or arrangement of parts of a biochemical entity (like a molecule, protein, DNA, etc.), or perhaps a particular complex anatomical/molecular part. Wait, "biochemical structure" usually refers to the arrangement of atoms/molecules (manner of construction and arrangement of its parts) or the thing constructed. Let's look at the senses.
1. a thing constructed; a complex entity constructed of many parts
2. the manner of construction of something and the arrangement of its parts
3. the complex composition of knowledge
4. a particular complex anatomical part of a living thing
5. the people in a society

"biochemical structure" -> the arrangement of its parts (e.g., molecular structure). "substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure". This means replacing an element (like arsenic for phosphorus) changes the biochemical structure (the arrangement/composition of the molecule). This aligns with sense 2: "the manner of construction of something and the arrangement of its parts".
Wait, could it be sense 4? "a particular complex anatomical part of a living thing" - no, biochemical structure is not an anatomical part like a bone or organ.
Could it be sense 1? "a thing constructed" - usually refers to buildings or physical structures.
Sense 2 is "the manner of construction of something and the arrangement of its parts", examples: "artists must study the structure of the human body", "structure of a sentence", "chemical structure". Yes, chemical/biochemical structure refers to the arrangement of atoms/parts.

Let's double check WordNet senses for "structure".
Sense 1: construction, structure (a thing constructed; a complex entity constructed of many parts) "the structure consisted of a series of arches"
Sense 2: structure (the manner of construction of something and the arrangement of its parts) "artists must study the structure of the human body"
Sense 3: structure (the complex composition of knowledge as elements and their combinations) "his lectures have no structure"
Sense 4: structure (a particular complex anatomical part of a living thing) "he has good bone structure"
Sense 5: social organization, social structure, structure (the people in a society considered as a system organized by a characteristic pattern of relationships)

"biochemical structure" clearly refers to the arrangement of parts (atoms/molecules) in a biochemical compound. Thus, Sense 2.
Let's consider "substitution of one element for another in ... biochemical structure". Element here means chemical element. The arrangement of chemical elements is the chemical/biochemical structure. So it's the manner of construction/arrangement of parts. Sense 2.

Which numbered sense of "discovery" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It wasn't a chance <t>discovery</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something
2. definition=something that is discovered
3. definition=a productive insight
4. definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure of documents relevant to a case; enables one side in a litigation to elicit information from the other side concerning the facts in the case

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "It wasn't a chance discovery."
The word "discovery" here refers to something that is discovered (e.g., a finding, an object, a fact found by chance). Wait, "a chance discovery" usually means a thing discovered by chance, or the act of discovering by chance. Let's look at the senses.
1. the act of discovering something
2. something that is discovered
3. a productive insight
4. (law) compulsory pretrial disclosure...

"It wasn't a chance discovery." -> "discovery" here is a countable noun referring to the thing discovered, or the event. Usually, "a discovery" means "something that is discovered" (e.g., Penicillin was a chance discovery).
Wait, "a chance discovery" -> "Penicillin was a chance discovery." Here, discovery = something that is discovered.
Let's check WordNet senses for "discovery".
Sense 1: discovery, find, uncovering (the act of discovering something)
Sense 2: discovery (something that is discovered) "the discoveries of the 19th century"
Sense 3: breakthrough, discovery, find (a productive insight)
Sense 4: discovery (law) compulsory pretrial disclosure...

Wait, is "a chance discovery" an act or a thing?
"It wasn't a chance discovery." -> "It" refers to the thing found, or the event. If "It" is the thing, then "discovery" is the thing.
Actually, in WordNet, "something that is discovered" has examples like "the discoveries of the 19th century".
What about "the act of discovering something"? Examples: "the discovery of the body", "the discovery of America".
"a chance discovery" -> Is it the act or the thing?
Usually, "a discovery" as a countable noun often means the thing discovered. "He made a great discovery." -> thing.
Let's consider "It wasn't a chance discovery."
Could it be Sense 2? "something that is discovered".
Let's search for "chance discovery" in WordNet examples.
Wait, "find, discovery, uncovering" (the act of discovering something).
"discovery" (something that is discovered).
Let's think if "a chance discovery" is sense 1 or 2.
If I say "The discovery of penicillin was a chance discovery." -> The second "discovery" is Sense 2 (something discovered) or Sense 1 (act)?
Actually, "a chance discovery" usually refers to the thing discovered or the event.
Let's look at similar WordNet disambiguation tasks.
Sentence: "It wasn't a chance discovery."
This exact sentence might be from a corpus (like SemCor).
Let's search my knowledge base for "It wasn't a chance discovery."
Maybe from a book or article.
If it refers to an object or a fact, it's Sense 2.
Wait, "chance discovery" is often used to mean the *event* of discovering by chance, or the *thing* discovered by chance.
Let's consider the phrase "a chance discovery". In WordNet, "discovery" (something that is discovered) - "the discovery of the Americas" (Wait, that's act).
Let's think about "discovery" as "something that is discovered". "The museum has many new discoveries."
"It wasn't a chance discovery." -> "It" = the thing. So "discovery" = the thing. Thus Sense 2.
Wait, what if "It" = the event? "Finding the coin wasn't a chance discovery." -> event.
But usually, "a discovery" = something discovered.
Let's check the exact SemCor sentence if possible.
"It wasn't a chance discovery."
Could it be Sense 2? Yes.
Let's reconsider Sense 1: "the act of discovering something".
Sense 2: "something that is discovered".
In many dictionaries, "a discovery" is "something that is discovered". E.g., "The drug was a major discovery."
Therefore, Sense 2 is highly likely.

Let's double check.
WordNet:
Noun
1. discovery, find, uncovering - the act of discovering something; "the discovery of the body"; "the discovery of America"
2. discovery - something that is discovered; "the discoveries of the 19th century"
3. breakthrough, discovery, find - a productive insight
4. discovery - (law) compulsory pretrial disclosure...

If the sentence is "It wasn't a chance discovery.", "discovery" is preceded by "a", which means it's a countable noun. Both Sense 1 and Sense 2 can be countable. "A discovery" (act) vs "A discovery" (thing).
Usually, "a chance discovery" means a thing discovered by chance. For example, "The ruins were a chance discovery."
I will bet on Sense 2.
Wait, let me think if it could be Sense 1. "The discovery of the ruins was a chance discovery." Here, the second one is the act? No, "The discovery was an accident." -> act.
"It wasn't a chance discovery." -> "It" = the thing found. "The artifact wasn't a chance discovery" (someone was looking for it). So "discovery" = the thing discovered. Sense 2.

Let's think if there's any reason it's Sense 1.
"the act of discovering something" -> "the discovery of..."
"something that is discovered" -> "a discovery"
Since it's "a ... discovery", it aligns perfectly with "something that is discovered".
I'll output 2.
Wait, could it be 1? Let's check "a chance discovery" in BNC or COCA.
"made a chance discovery" -> act of discovering or thing? "He made a chance discovery" -> find (noun).
I will go with 2.
Let me reconsider. In WordNet, "find" is a synonym for both.
Let's choose 2.
Actually, wait. Is "chance discovery" an act? "The chance discovery of the document..." -> act.
"A chance discovery" -> "It was a chance discovery."
I'll output 2.
Let me just review if "discovery" in "a chance discovery" is mapped to sense 2 in SemCor.
Often, "discovery" meaning "something discovered" is sense 2.
I will output 2.

9. definition=someone who memorizes quickly and easily (as the lines for a part in a play) | examples=he is a quick study
10. definition=a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique | examples=a study in spiccato bowing

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the <t>study</t>, targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic levels."
The word "study" refers to a scientific investigation or research project.
Looking at the senses:
1. a detailed critical inspection
2. applying the mind to learning...
3. a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale
Wait, "led the study" refers to the research project/investigation. Is it sense 1 or 3?
Sense 1: a detailed critical inspection (often used for scientific studies, e.g., "a study of the effects of..."). Wait, WordNet sense for "study" (investigation):
Let's check WordNet senses for "study":
1. study, survey (a detailed critical inspection) -> "a study of the effects of..."
2. discipline, subject, subject area, subject field, field, field of study, study, bailiwick (a branch of knowledge)
3. report, study, written report (a written document describing the findings of some individual or group) -> "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale"
4. study (applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading))
5. sketch, study (preliminary drawing for later elaboration)
6. discipline, study (attentive consideration and meditation)
7. study (a room used for reading and writing and studying)
8. study (a state of deep mental absorption)
9. study (someone who memorizes quickly and easily)
10. study (a composition intended to develop one aspect of the performer's technique)

In the sentence: "who led the study, targeted Mono Lake..."
Usually, "leading a study" means leading the investigation (Sense 1) or the research project.
Wait, "study" as in "a scientific study".
Let's look at Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" (WordNet: study, survey).
Let's look at Sense 3: "a written document describing the findings..." (WordNet: report, study, written report).
Did she lead the written document, or the investigation? She led the investigation/research project. So Sense 1 is more appropriate for the activity/project of investigating.
Wait, WordNet defines "study, survey" as "a detailed critical inspection".
Another WordNet sense: "research, study" - but that's not listed here.
Let's re-read Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection".
Sense 3: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group".
"who led the study" -> she led the research/investigation. Investigation matches "a detailed critical inspection".
Let's consider if "study" here means the research project. Yes.
Is "study" in "led the study" sense 1? Yes, "a detailed critical inspection" corresponds to the investigation itself.
Wait, could it be 1? Let's check the examples for Sense 1: none given in the prompt, but usually "they conducted a study".
Let's check Sense 3: "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" -> refers to the published paper/report.
In "led the study", it refers to the research project (the inspection/investigation). So Sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: definition=a detailed critical inspection (WordNet: study, survey)
Sense 3: definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (WordNet: report, study, written report)

"led the study" -> led the investigation. Investigation = detailed critical inspection.
Therefore, Sense 1.
I will return 1.

Which numbered sense of "arsenic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake because it has high <t>arsenic</t> levels.

Senses:
1. definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer
2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake because it has high <t>arsenic</t> levels."
The word "arsenic" here refers to the element arsenic, which is found in the environment (Mono Lake) in high levels.
Sense 1: a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic...
Sense 2: a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms...

In the context of "high arsenic levels" in a lake, it refers to the chemical element arsenic (Sense 2), not specifically the trioxide (Sense 1).
Therefore, the correct sense is 2.
Let's double check. Mono lake has high levels of the element arsenic.
Sense 2 is the element.
Sense 1 is arsenic trioxide.
So 2 is the correct answer.

7. definition=an abstract place usually conceived as having depth | examples=a good actor communicates on several levels
8. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | examples=what level is the office on?

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic <t>levels</t>."
The word is "levels".
The context is "high arsenic levels", which refers to the amount or concentration of arsenic.
Let's check the senses:
1. definition=a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality | examples=a moderate grade of intelligence (Wait, the examples say "grade", but the definition is "amount or intensity". "Levels" of arsenic means amount/concentration). Let's check WordNet senses for "level".
Wait, WordNet sense for "level" (amount):
level, grade, tier (a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality) "a moderate grade of intelligence"; "a high level of care and concern"; "the highest level of landscape in the park"
Sense 1: a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality.
Sense 2: a relative position or degree of value in a graded group (lumber of the highest grade).
Sense 3: a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process (a remarkable degree of frankness - wait, degree? WordNet: degree, level, stage, point).
Sense 4: height above ground (the water reached ankle level).

"high arsenic levels" -> amount or intensity. This matches Sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality".

Let's double check.
Sense 1: level, grade, tier - a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality.
Sentence: "...high arsenic levels."
"levels" here means amount/concentration. So Sense 1.

Wait, is there any other sense?
Sense 1: a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality
Sense 2: a relative position or degree of value in a graded group
Sense 3: a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series...
Sense 4: height above ground

Clearly Sense 1.
Let's confirm if it's 1.
Yes, "high arsenic levels" = amount.

4. definition=the most favorable environment for a plant or animal | examples=water is the element of fishes
5. definition=one of four substances thought in ancient and medieval cosmology to constitute the physical universe | examples=the alchemists believed that there were four elements
6. definition=the situation in which you are happiest and most effective | examples=in your element
7. definition=a straight line that generates a cylinder or cone

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."
The word is "elements".
Context: "organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."
This likely refers to chemical elements (e.g., heavy metals, isotopes, or specific chemical elements in the environment that organisms confuse, like sodium and potassium, or toxic elements mimicking essential ones).
Wait, could it be "components" or "parts"? "telling these elements apart" -> chemical elements.
Let's check the senses.
Sense 1: abstract part
Sense 2: artifact / component
Sense 3: chemical element (any of the more than 100 known substances...)
Sense 4: favorable environment
Sense 5: ancient four elements
Sense 6: in one's element
Sense 7: geometry

"organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart." -> chemical elements (e.g., strontium and calcium, or cesium and potassium).
Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct one.
Let's double check. Is there any other interpretation? "elements" as in "components of a system"? Unlikely in the context of "organisms". Usually, organisms confuse chemical elements (like heavy metals mimicking essential minerals).
So Sense 3.
There is no ambiguity.

Number: 3

1. definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer
2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But <t>arsenic</t> is different enough that it doesn't work as well as phosphorus, so it gets in there and sort of gums up the works of our biochemical machinery," explained Anbar.
The senses are:
1. a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer
2. a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

In the sentence, arsenic is being compared to phosphorus ("doesn't work as well as phosphorus"). Phosphorus is a chemical element. Arsenic here refers to the chemical element, which can substitute for phosphorus in biochemical machinery (like in DNA, referring to the GFAJ-1 bacteria controversy).
Therefore, it refers to the metallic element (sense 2), not the trioxide (sense 1).

Let's double check.
Sense 1: arsenic trioxide (white powdered poisonous trioxide).
Sense 2: arsenic (metallic element).
Since it's compared to phosphorus (an element) in the context of biochemical machinery (substituting in molecules), it's the element.
So the answer is 2.

2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

reasoning_content:
The sentence mentions "exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic".
The word "arsenic" here refers to the chemical element (or its compounds/ions in solution, but generally the element itself as a substance).
Sense 1: "a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic..." (This is arsenic trioxide, often just called arsenic in common parlance, but specifically a compound).
Sense 2: "a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms..." (This is the element arsenic, As).
In scientific contexts like "increasing concentrations of arsenic" (referring to the element/ions, e.g., arsenate), it refers to the element.
Let's check WordNet senses for "arsenic".
Sense 1: arsenic, As, atomic number 33 (a very poisonous metallic element...)
Sense 2: arsenic trioxide, white arsenic, arsenic (a white powdered poisonous trioxide...)
Wait, the order in the prompt:
1. definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic...
2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element...

In the sentence, "concentrations of arsenic", it refers to the element (or its ions, like arsenate, which are forms of the element). Researchers studying GFAJ-1 exposed it to arsenic (the element, specifically arsenate).
Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check. GFAJ-1 is a bacterium that was claimed to substitute arsenic for phosphorus. Arsenic here is the element.
So Sense 2.

Sentence: The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another <t>planet</t> or moon where arsenic is more common.

Senses:
1. (astronomy) any of the nine large celestial bodies in the solar system...
2. a person who follows or serves another
3. any celestial body (other than comets or satellites) that revolves around a star

Analysis:
The sentence refers to "another planet or moon where arsenic is more common", implying an exoplanet or a planet outside our solar system. Sense 1 specifically refers to the "nine large celestial bodies in the solar system" (Mercury to Pluto). Sense 3 refers to "any celestial body... that revolves around a star", which includes exoplanets. Since the context is about life elsewhere in the universe ("either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet"), Sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check. Sense 1 restricts to the solar system. Sense 3 is broader and fits "another planet... where arsenic is more common" (could be an exoplanet).
Therefore, Sense 3 is correct.
Wait, WordNet senses for planet:
1. planet, major planet (any of the nine large celestial bodies in the solar system that revolve around the sun and shine by reflected light)
2. satellite, planet (a person who follows or serves another)
3. planet (any celestial body (other than comets or satellites) that revolves around a star)

Yes, Sense 3 is the exoplanet/general planet sense. The sentence talks about "another planet or moon", referring to extraterrestrial locations in general, not just our solar system.
So the answer is 3.

6. definition=any natural satellite of a planet | examples=Jupiter has sixteen moons

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or <t>moon</t> where arsenic is more common."

The word "moon" in this context refers to a natural satellite of a planet (since it says "another planet or moon").
Looking at the senses:
1. the natural satellite of the Earth
2. any object resembling a moon
3. the period between successive new moons
4. the light of the Moon
5. United States religious leader
6. any natural satellite of a planet

Sense 6 is "any natural satellite of a planet".

Therefore, the correct sense is 6.
I will return only the number 6.

Which numbered sense of "arsenic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where <t>arsenic</t> is more common.

Senses:
1. definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer
2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

reasoning_content:
The sentence mentions "arsenic" as an element that could be used by a life form instead of phosphorus. Phosphorus is an element, so the sentence is comparing the element arsenic to the element phosphorus.
Sense 1 refers to arsenic trioxide (a specific compound).
Sense 2 refers to arsenic as a metallic element.
The sentence clearly uses "arsenic" to mean the chemical element, comparable to phosphorus.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct sense.
Let's double check. "live with arsenic instead [of phosphorus]". Phosphorus is an element. Arsenic is an element. Sense 2: "a very poisonous metallic element..."
Sense 1: "a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic..."
So it is Sense 2.
Number: 2.
Return only the number.

Which numbered sense of "idea" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the <t>idea</t> that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work.

Senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the <t>idea</t> that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work."

The word "idea" refers to the concept or thought that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus.
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about". The idea (concept/thought) that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus.
Sense 3: "a personal view". "he has an idea that we don't like him" -> belief/opinion.
In the sentence, "the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus" refers to a scientific concept or hypothesis, which aligns best with Sense 1 (content of cognition, the main thing you are thinking about, a concept).

Let's double check WordNet senses for "idea".
Sense 1: idea, thought (the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about) "it was not a good idea"; "the thought never entered my mind"
Sense 2: mind, idea (your intention; what you intend to do) "he had in mind to see his old teacher"
Sense 3: idea (a personal view) "he has an idea that we don't like him"
Sense 4: estimate, estimation, approximation, idea (an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth)
Sense 5: theme, melodic theme, musical theme, idea ((music) melodic subject of a musical composition)

"the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus" -> a concept, a thought, a hypothesis. This is Sense 1.

I will return 1.
End of thought.

Which numbered sense of "arsenic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that <t>arsenic</t> could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work.

Senses:
1. definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer
2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that <t>arsenic</t> could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work."
The context is about substituting arsenic for phosphorus in biological molecules (like DNA, referring to the GFAJ-1 bacterium controversy). Phosphorus is a chemical element. Arsenic is also a chemical element.
Sense 1: a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic (arsenic trioxide).
Sense 2: a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms...
Since it's being substituted for phosphorus (an element), it refers to the element arsenic.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct sense.
Let's double check. Phosphorus is an element. Arsenic is an element. Substituting one element for another.
Sense 2 represents the element.
Sense 1 represents arsenic trioxide.
So the answer is 2.

2. definition=a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for <t>phosphorus</t> isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work."
The context is about microbiology, arsenic being substituted for phosphorus. Arsenic and phosphorus are both chemical elements.
Sense 1: a multivalent nonmetallic element of the nitrogen family...
Sense 2: a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise...

Clearly, Sense 1 is the correct sense.
Number: 1.

Which numbered sense of "example" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been <t>example</t> where it was shown to work.

Senses:
1. definition=an item of information that is typical of a class or group | examples=this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome
2. definition=a representative form or pattern | examples=I profited from his example
3. definition=something to be imitated | examples=an exemplar of success
4. definition=punishment intended as a warning to others | examples=they decided to make an example of him
5. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
6. definition=a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding | examples=you must work the examples at the end of each chapter in the textbook

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been <t>example</t> where it was shown to work."
Wait, "there has never been example" -> "there has never been an example" (probably a typo in the prompt's sentence, missing "an").
The word "example" here means "an occurrence of something" or "a case". "there has never been an example where it was shown to work" = "there has never been a case / an instance where it was shown to work".
Let's check the senses:
1. an item of information that is typical of a class or group (e.g., typical example)
2. a representative form or pattern (e.g., profited from his example)
3. something to be imitated (e.g., exemplar of success)
4. punishment intended as a warning to others (e.g., make an example of him)
5. an occurrence of something (e.g., it was a case of bad judgment) -> Wait, WordNet sense for "case, example, instance" is "an occurrence of something". Examples: "it was a case of bad judgment", "another instance of good behavior", "here is an example of what I mean".
6. a task performed or problem solved (e.g., work the examples)

In the sentence, "example where it was shown to work" means an instance or occurrence of it working.
Therefore, sense 5 is the correct one. "an occurrence of something".
Let's double check.
"there has never been an example where it was shown to work" -> instance/case/occurrence.
Sense 5: definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment. (Synonyms: case, instance, example).

Yes, sense 5.
Wait, could it be 1? "an item of information that is typical of a class or group". No, it's not a typical item, it's an instance of the phenomenon occurring.
Sense 5 is "case, example, instance" -> an occurrence of something.

Let's confirm WordNet senses for "example":
1. example, illustration, instance, representative (an item of information that is typical of a class or group) "this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome"
2. model, example (a representative form or pattern) "I profited from his example"
3. example, model (something to be imitated) "an exemplar of success"
4. example, lesson (punishment intended as a warning to others) "they decided to make an example of him"
5. case, example, instance (an occurrence of something) "it was a case of bad judgment" "another instance of good behavior" "here is an example of what I mean"
6. example, exercise (a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding) "you must work the examples at the end of each chapter in the textbook"

The sentence uses "example" to mean "instance" or "case". "there has never been [an] example where it was shown to work."
Thus, sense 5.
I will return 5.

Sentence: <t>Arsenic</t> was more common in the early times on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it.

Senses:
1. definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer
2. definition=a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "<t>Arsenic</t> was more common in the early times on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it."
The word "arsenic" here refers to the chemical element, which early life forms might have used in their biochemistry (e.g., substituting for phosphorus).
Sense 1: a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic (arsenic trioxide).
Sense 2: a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms...
The sentence refers to the element itself, not specifically the trioxide. "Arsenic was more common..." refers to the element.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check. Early life forms using arsenic refers to the element (like the GFAJ-1 bacteria controversy where they thought it used arsenic instead of phosphorus). Phosphorus is an element, so arsenic here is the element.
Sense 2 is the element.
Return only the number: 2.

Which numbered sense of "times" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Arsenic was more common in the early <t>times</t> on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it.

Senses:
1. definition=a more or less definite period of time now or previously present | examples=it was a sign of the times
2. definition=an arithmetic operation that is the inverse of division; the product of two numbers is computed | examples=the multiplication of four by three gives twelve
3. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | examples=this time he succeeded
4. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses
5. definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | examples=he waited a long time
6. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go
7. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
8. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears
9. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock | examples=do you know what time it is?
10. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
11. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration
12. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Arsenic was more common in the early <t>times</t> on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it."
The word "times" refers to a period of time in the past, specifically "early times on Earth".
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. "a more or less definite period of time now or previously present" - "it was a sign of the times". This fits "early times". Wait, "early times" refers to an indefinite period marked by specific attributes (early Earth) or a previously present period.
Let's check sense 5: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - "he waited a long time".
Wait, sense 1 is "a more or less definite period of time now or previously present". Examples: "it was a sign of the times", "in times of trouble", "early times".
Actually, WordNet sense for "times" (plural of time):
- time, times, modern times, present times (a more or less definite period of time now or previously present) "it was a sign of the times"
Let's check the exact WordNet synsets for "time":
1. time (a more or less definite period of time now or previously present) "it was a sign of the times" -> Synset: time.n.06 (or similar). Wait, "times" plural is often used for this sense. "early times" -> "in the early times".
Let's consider "early times". Is it sense 1? "a more or less definite period of time now or previously present".
What about sense 5? "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" "he waited a long time". This is usually singular "time", e.g., "a long time".
"early times" -> plural.
Sense 1 explicitly has the plural "times" in its typical usage ("sign of the times", "hard times", "early times").
Let's review the WordNet senses for "time":
1. time (instance) "this time he succeeded" -> sense 3
2. time (indefinite period) "he waited a long time" -> sense 5
3. time (suitable moment) "it is time to go" -> sense 6
4. time (continuum) -> sense 7
5. time, times, modern times, present times (a more or less definite period of time now or previously present) "it was a sign of the times" -> sense 1
6. time (person's experience) "he had a time holding back the tears" -> sense 8
7. time, clock time (reading of a point in time) -> sense 9
8. time (fourth coordinate) -> sense 10
9. meter, time (rhythm) -> sense 11
10. time, prison term (period of time a prisoner is imprisoned) -> sense 12
11. time (resource) "take time to smell the roses" -> sense 4
12. multiplication (arithmetic operation) -> sense 2

Therefore, "early times" refers to a period previously present. Sense 1 is the best fit for plural "times" meaning "eras" or "periods".
Wait, could it be sense 5? "an indefinite period...". But "times" is plural, and sense 1 includes "times" in its lemma list (time, times, modern times, present times).
I will output 1.
Let's double check.
"Arsenic was more common in the early times on Earth..."
"early times" = a more or less definite period of time previously present.
Yes, Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Arsenic was more common in the early times on <t>Earth</t>, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it."
The word "Earth" here refers to the planet we live on.
Sense 1: the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on.
Sense 2: the loose soft material that makes up a large part of the land surface (soil/dirt).
Sense 3: the solid part of the earth's surface (land).
Sense 4: the abode of mortals.

Sentence: "It does suggest that that there could be other <t>ways</t> to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth," said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team.

Senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control
3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction

12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "way" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "It does suggest that that there could be other <t>ways</t> to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth," said Foster...

Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner (manner, way)
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control (means, way)
3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction (direction, way)
4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is (way)
5. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue (path, way)
6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out (way)
7. definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way (way)
8. definition=space for movement | examples=room to pass (room, way)
9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow (way)
10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way (way)
11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing (way)
12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways (way)

In the sentence, "ways to form life" means "methods" or "means" to achieve the result of forming life.
Wait, let's distinguish between 1 and 2.
1: how something is done or how it happens (manner) - "her dignified manner" -> "her dignified way"
2: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means) - "a means of control" -> "a way of control", "ways to form life" -> methods/means to achieve the end (forming life).

"ways to form life" -> methods/means to achieve an end. Sense 2 fits perfectly ("how a result is obtained or an end is achieved").
Let's double check WordNet senses for "way".
Sense 1: manner, mode, style, way (how something is done or how it happens) "her dignified manner"
Sense 2: means, way (how a result is obtained or an end is achieved) "a means of control" "an example is the way to do it" "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"
"ways to form life" -> methods/means to achieve the result of forming life.

Let's check Sense 1 again. "how something is done or how it happens".
Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved".
Forming life is an end/result. So "ways to form life" = means to achieve the end of forming life.
Therefore, Sense 2.

Let's confirm with similar examples. "a way to do something" usually maps to means/way (Sense 2).
"ways to form life" -> "methods to form life".
I will output 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form <t>life</t>, not just how life formed on early Earth," said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team.
The word "life" here refers to the phenomenon of living organisms, the origin of life, biological life.
Looking at the senses:
1. characteristic state or mode of living
2. experience of being alive
3. course of existence of an individual
4. condition of living or state of being alive
5. period during which something is functional
6. period between birth and present
7. period from present until death
8. a living person
9. animation and energy
10. living things collectively
11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones (e.g., there is no life on the moon)
12. an account of series of events
13. a motive for living
14. a prison term

Sense 11 fits best: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" - "how life formed on early Earth", "other ways to form life". This is about the origin of the organic phenomenon (abiogenesis).
Let's double check sense 10 vs 11. "living things collectively" vs "the organic phenomenon". "form life" refers to the phenomenon or the state of being alive/living organisms. Usually, "origin of life" or "form life" maps to the organic phenomenon (sense 11). Example for 11: "there is no life on the moon". "how life formed on early Earth" is exactly about whether the organic phenomenon exists or how it came to be.

Therefore, Sense 11 is the correct one.
Let's confirm.
"form life" -> create the organic phenomenon.
Yes, 11.
Wait, could it be 4? "the condition of living or the state of being alive". "while there's life there's hope". No, 11 is much better for "life on Earth", "life on the moon".

I will output 11.

The word in question is "life".
The context is about the formation of "life" on early Earth, and other ways to form "life".
This refers to the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones, or living things collectively.
Let's check the senses:
10. living things collectively (the oceans are teeming with life)
11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones (there is no life on the moon)

"form life" -> "there is no life on the moon" -> sense 11.

Let's re-read sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones | examples=there is no life on the moon"
Sense 10: "living things collectively | examples=the oceans are teeming with life"

"form life" usually refers to the phenomenon or the origin of living organisms. "there is no life on the moon" matches "life on early Earth".
Therefore, sense 11 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"how life formed on early Earth" -> origin of life.
Sense 11: the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones.
Yes, "life" in "origin of life" or "life on Mars" or "life on early Earth" corresponds to sense 11.

Let's confirm sense 11 vs 10.
"teeming with life" -> living things collectively.
"life on the moon" -> the organic phenomenon...
"life formed on early Earth" -> the organic phenomenon.

I will return 11.
Wait, is there any other sense?
4. the condition of living or the state of being alive.
But 11 explicitly has "there is no life on the moon" which is exactly the astrobiology context of "life on early Earth".

Number: 11.
I will output 11.
