reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."
The word is "showed".
The sense should match "provide evidence for" or "establish the validity of something".
Let's look at the options:
2. establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment | The experiment demonstrated...
3. provide evidence for | The blood test showed that he was the father.
The sentence uses "A test ... showed that ...". This perfectly matches sense 3: "provide evidence for" with the example "The blood test showed that he was the father".

Let's double check.
Sense 2: establish the validity of something (demonstrate, prove, show).
Sense 3: provide evidence for (bear witness, testify, show, evidence, prove). Example: "The blood test showed that he was the father".
Sentence: "A test ... showed that ..."
This is exactly Sense 3.

Let's review Sense 3 vs Sense 2.
Sense 2 examples: The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound.
Sense 3 examples: The blood test showed that he was the father.
The sentence has "A test ... showed that ...". This aligns perfectly with Sense 3.

I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity.
Test -> blood test
showed -> showed
that -> that
he was the father -> little Will Quinlan had not inherited...

Number is 3.

3. be oriented in a certain direction...
4. be opposite
5. turn so as to face

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

Sentence: A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no <t>more</t> risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=(comparative of `much' used with mass nouns) a quantifier meaning greater in size or amount or extent or degree | examples=more land
2. definition=(comparative of `many' used with count nouns) quantifier meaning greater in number | examples=a hall with more seats

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no <t>more</t> risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."

The word "more" modifies "risk".
"Risk" is generally considered a mass noun (uncountable) or an abstract noun in this context ("no more risk than...").
Sense 1: comparative of 'much' used with mass nouns.
Sense 2: comparative of 'many' used with count nouns.

Since "risk" is a mass noun here (you don't say "one risk, two risks" in this context, you say "amount of risk"), Sense 1 is the correct choice.
Let's double check. "no more risk" -> mass noun.
Therefore, Sense 1.

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

Sentence: A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more <t>risk</t> than other children of developing the rare cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune | examples=drinking alcohol is a health hazard
2. definition=a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury | examples=he saw the rewards but not the risks of crime
3. definition=the probability of becoming infected given that exposure to an infectious agent has occurred
4. definition=the probability of being exposed to an infectious agent

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more <t>risk</t> than other children of developing the rare cancer."

The word "risk" here refers to the probability or chance of developing the rare cancer.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune (e.g., health hazard)
2. a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury
3. the probability of becoming infected given that exposure to an infectious agent has occurred
4. the probability of being exposed to an infectious agent

Wait, none of the senses perfectly match "probability of developing cancer" except maybe 1 (possibility of incurring loss or misfortune) or maybe it's considered sense 1. Let's re-read carefully.
Is there a better fit?
WordNet senses for "risk":
1. risk, peril, danger (a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune) "drinking alcohol is a health hazard"
2. gamble, risk (a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury) "he saw the rewards but not the risks of crime"
3. risk (the probability of becoming infected given that exposure to an infectious agent has occurred)
4. risk (the probability of being exposed to an infectious agent)

Wait, the context is "faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer".
Here "risk" means "possibility of incurring loss or misfortune" or "danger".
Actually, does it mean sense 1? Yes, "possibility of incurring loss or misfortune".
Let's check if there's any other sense. In WordNet, "risk" (noun) has 4 senses.
Sense 1: a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune.
Sense 2: a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury.
Sense 3: the probability of becoming infected...
Sense 4: the probability of being exposed...

Since cancer is not an infectious agent (in this context, retinoblastoma is genetic), senses 3 and 4 are incorrect.
Sense 2 is about a venture (gamble).
So Sense 1 is the only one that fits ("possibility of incurring loss or misfortune").

Let's double check.
"faced no more risk than other children" -> possibility of incurring loss/misfortune (getting cancer).
Therefore, Sense 1.

The word is "other".
In this context, "other children" means children not already mentioned (i.e., children in general, besides Will Quinlan).
Let's check the senses:
1. not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied
2. recently past
3. belonging to the distant past
4. very unusual; different in character or quality

Sense 1 fits perfectly. "other children" = children other than Will Quinlan.
Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

Sense 3: an immature childish person.
Sense 4: a member of a clan or tribe.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of <t>developing</t> the rare cancer."
The word is "developing".
The context is "developing the rare cancer", which means contracting or coming to have a disease.
Let's check the senses.
1. make something new
2. work out
3. gain through experience
4. come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) | examples=He grew a beard (Wait, "develop a disease" might fall under "come to have or undergo a change of" or "come into existence")
Let's re-read sense 4: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". Wait, WordNet sense for "develop" (contract, as a disease) is often grouped with "grow" or "come to have".
Wait, WordNet synset for "develop, grow" (come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)): "He grew a beard", "The patient developed abdominal pains", "These children developed speech impediments".
Let's check if there is a specific sense for disease.
Sense 4: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" - examples: He grew a beard.
Wait, let's look at WordNet senses for "develop":
- develop, grow: come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes); "He grew a beard"; "The patient developed abdominal pains"; "These children developed speech impediments"
Yes, "developing a cancer" matches "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" which is Sense 4.
Let's double check other senses:
5. come into existence; take on form or shape (originate)
10. grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution... (A flower developed)
13. generate gradually (develop more potential customers)
20. happen (news as it develops)

Therefore, Sense 4 is the most appropriate, as it corresponds to the WordNet synset `develop, grow` (come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)).
Wait, could it be 4? Let's check the exact definition of WordNet synset `develop, grow` (verb.body): "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". Examples: "He grew a beard"; "The patient developed abdominal pains"; "These children developed speech impediments".
Yes, "developing the rare cancer" means coming to have a disease, which perfectly aligns with Sense 4.

Let's confirm:
Sentence: "...faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."
Sense 4: definition=come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) | examples=He grew a beard.
Number: 4.
It matches perfectly.
I will return 4.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It <t>made</t> our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan.
The phrase "made our New Year" means it assured the success of our New Year, or made it a great/successful New Year.
Looking at the senses:
41. definition=assure the success of | examples=A good review by this critic will make your play!
45. definition=cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable | examples=make my day

Wait, "make my day" is sense 45. "make your play" is sense 41.
"make our New Year" is very similar to "make my day" or "make your play".
Let's check the exact definitions in WordNet.
WordNet sense for "make" (verb):
- assure the success of: "A good review by this critic will make your play!" (make#41)
- cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable: "make my day" (make#45)

Wait, "It made our New Year" - is it "assure the success of" or "cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable"?
Usually, "make someone's day" is sense 45. "make our New Year" is analogous to "make my day".
Wait, could it be 45? Let's check WordNet 3.1 senses.
Sense: make (cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable) "make my day"
Sense: make (assure the success of) "A good review by this critic will make your play!"

Is "make our New Year" closer to "make my day"? Yes, "make my day", "make my year", "make our New Year".
Wait, could it be 45? Let's search if "make our New Year" is a known example. No, it's just a sentence.
Let's consider "make my day" -> cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable.
"make your play" -> assure the success of.
"make our New Year" -> assure the success of? Or cause to be enjoyable?
Actually, "make" as in "make the party" -> assure the success of. "The band really made the party."
"The fireworks made our New Year." -> assured the success of it? Or made it enjoyable?
Let's look at WordNet:
make, make (assure the success of) "A good review by this critic will make your play!"
make (cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable) "make my day"

Wait, "make my day" is an idiom. "make our New Year" might just be "assure the success of" (e.g., "make or break"). "Make or break" applies to plays, businesses, events. "It made our New Year" -> it assured the success of our New Year.
Let's check if there's an exact match in some corpus.
"It made our New Year," says Mr. Quinlan.
This is likely from a news article. "It made our New Year" - maybe a sports event, a win, a gift?
If it's "assure the success of", the definition is "assure the success of".
If it's "cause to be enjoyable", it's "make my day".
Usually, "make [event]" means to assure the success of [event]. E.g., "The music made the party." -> assure the success of.
"make my day" is specifically "cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable".
I will guess 41 (assure the success of). Wait, "make my day" is 45.
Let's rethink: "make" in "make our New Year" - "New Year" is an event. "Make an event" = assure the success of.
Let's check WordNet for "make" (assure the success of). Examples: "A good review by this critic will make your play!"
What about "make" (cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable)? Examples: "make my day".
I'll bet on 41 because "New Year" is an event like "play" or "party", whereas "my day" is a personal experience.
Wait! What if "make" here means "make" as in "constitute the essence of" (Clothes make the man)? No.
Let's choose 41.
Wait, let me double check 41 vs 45.
"make my day" -> make (verb) - cause to be enjoyable or pleasurable.
"make your play" -> make (verb) - assure the success of.
"It made our New Year" -> It assured the success of our New Year. I'll go with 41.

Let's review the sentence again: "It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan.
Could it be 45? "make my day" is very specific. "make our New Year" is not a fixed idiom like "make my day", but rather "make" + [event]. "Make" + [event] means to assure the success of.
Therefore, 41 is the most appropriate.
I will output 41.
Let me double check if there are any other senses.
34. constitute the essence of (Clothes make the man)
46. favor the development of (Practice makes the winner)
41 is "assure the success of".

I am confident in 41.

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

Sentence: "It made our New Year, "<t>says</t> Mr. Quinlan.

Senses:
1. definition=express in words | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her
2. definition=report or maintain | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime

9. definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | examples=I say let's forget this whole business
10. definition=recite or repeat a fixed text | examples=Say grace
11. definition=indicate | examples=The clock says noon

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It made our New Year, "<t>says</t> Mr. Quinlan.
The word "says" is used to attribute a quote to Mr. Quinlan.
Let's analyze the senses:
1. express in words | He said that he wanted to marry her
2. report or maintain | He alleged that he was the victim of a crime
3. express a supposition | Let us say that he did not tell the truth
4. have or contain a certain wording or form | The passage reads as follows
5. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | I said to him to go home
6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way | She pronounces French words in a funny way
7. communicate or express nonverbally | What does this painting say?
8. utter aloud | She said `Hello' to everyone in the office
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | I say let's forget this whole business
10. recite or repeat a fixed text | Say grace
11. indicate | The clock says noon

Wait, "says Mr. Quinlan" is a reporting verb, expressing in words.
Sense 1: express in words. "He said that he wanted to marry her". "It made our New Year," says Mr. Quinlan. This is expressing in words.
Could it be 8? "utter aloud". "She said 'Hello' to everyone". But "says" here is just reporting what he said.
WordNet senses for "say":
1. say, state, tell (express in words) "He said that he wanted to marry her"; "I have to say I'm not surprised"
2. say, allege, aver (report or maintain) "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"; "The senator says that the President is lying"
3. say (express a supposition) "Let us say that he did not tell the truth"
4. read, say (have or contain a certain wording or form) "The passage reads as follows"; "What does the law say?"
5. order, tell, say, enjoin (give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority) "I said to him to go home"; "She ordered him to do the shopping"
6. pronounce, articulate, enounce, sound out, enunciate, say (speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way) "She pronounces French words in a funny way"; "I say 'Hello' to everyone in the office" -> Wait, sense 8 in the prompt is "utter aloud" (She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office). Actually, WordNet sense 6 is pronounce, sense 8 is "say" (utter aloud) "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office".
Wait, the prompt has:
1. express in words
8. utter aloud

Let's check WordNet exactly:
say (express in words) "He said that he wanted to marry her"
say, tell (let be known) "The clock says noon" -> wait, indicate.

In the sentence: "It made our New Year, " says Mr. Quinlan.
This is a standard quoting attribution. "express in words" (Sense 1).
"He said that he wanted to marry her" -> Sense 1.
"It made our New Year," says Mr. Quinlan. -> He expresses this in words.

Is there any specific WordNet sense for quoting?
Usually, "say" as a quotative verb is mapped to "express in words" (sense 1).

Let's double check.
Sense 1: express in words.
Sense 8: utter aloud. "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office."
The sentence "It made our New Year," says Mr. Quinlan is written text, reporting his words. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's review the options.
1. definition=express in words
I will output 1.

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

Sentence: This test was the <t>first</t> to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=preceding all others in time or space or degree | examples=the first house on the right
2. definition=indicating the beginning unit in a series
3. definition=serving to set in motion | examples=the magazine's inaugural issue
4. definition=serving to begin | examples=the beginning canto of the poem
5. definition=ranking above all others | examples=was first in her class
6. definition=highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This test was the <t>first</t> to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer."
The word "first" here means preceding all others in time (the first test to do something).
Let's check the senses:
1. preceding all others in time or space or degree | examples=the first house on the right
2. indicating the beginning unit in a series
3. serving to set in motion | examples=the magazine's inaugural issue
4. serving to begin | examples=the beginning canto of the poem
5. ranking above all others | examples=was first in her class
6. highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections | examples=first soprano

In the sentence, "first" means the earliest in time (the first one to predict). This matches sense 1: "preceding all others in time or space or degree".

Let's double check.
"first to predict" -> earliest in time. Sense 1 fits perfectly.
Sense 2 is like "first base", "first element".
Sense 3 is "inaugural".
Sense 4 is "beginning".
Sense 5 is "ranking above all others" (best).
Sense 6 is "first soprano".

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

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

Sentence: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an <t>individual</t> could expect to develop cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=a human being | examples=there was too much for one person to do
2. definition=a single organism

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an <t>individual</t> could expect to develop cancer."
The word is "individual".
Sense 1: a human being (e.g., there was too much for one person to do)
Sense 2: a single organism

In the context of developing cancer and taking a medical test, "individual" refers to a human being (a person).
Wait, "organism" could also apply, but "human being" is much more specific and appropriate for medical tests predicting cancer in people. Let's check WordNet senses for "individual".
WordNet:
1. individual, person (a human being) "there was too much for one person to do"
2. individual, organism (a single organism)

The sentence is about a medical test predicting cancer. Humans are the typical subjects of such tests in this context ( predicting whether an individual could expect to develop cancer). So Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check. Is there any reason it would be Sense 2? "single organism" is usually used in biological contexts contrasting with populations or colonies. "Human being" is used in medical/social contexts. "predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer" -> human being.

Therefore, Sense 1.

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

Sentence: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could <t>expect</t> to develop cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=regard something as probable or likely | examples=The meteorologists are expecting rain for tomorrow
2. definition=consider obligatory; request and expect | examples=We require our secretary to be on time
3. definition=look forward to the probable occurrence of | examples=We were expecting a visit from our relatives
4. definition=consider reasonable or due | examples=I'm expecting a full explanation as to why these files were destroyed
5. definition=look forward to the birth of a child | examples=She is expecting in March
6. definition=be pregnant with | examples=She is bearing his child

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could <t>expect</t> to develop cancer."
The word is "expect".
Senses:
1. regard something as probable or likely (The meteorologists are expecting rain for tomorrow)
2. consider obligatory; request and expect (We require our secretary to be on time)
3. look forward to the probable occurrence of (We were expecting a visit from our relatives)
4. consider reasonable or due (I'm expecting a full explanation...)
5. look forward to the birth of a child
6. be pregnant with

In the sentence, "expect to develop cancer" means to regard it as probable or likely to happen to them.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
Sense 1: regard something as probable or likely. Example: expecting rain.
Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of. Example: expecting a visit.
"expect to develop cancer" -> regard developing cancer as probable or likely.
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
Usually, "expect to [verb]" falls under Sense 1 (regard as probable/likely) or Sense 3.
WordNet senses for expect:
1. expect, anticipate (regard something as probable or likely) "The meteorologists are expecting rain for tomorrow"
2. require, ask, expect (consider obligatory; request and expect) "We require our secretary to be on time"
3. expect, look, await, wait (look forward to the probable occurrence of) "We were expecting a visit from our relatives"
4. expect, require (consider reasonable or due) "I'm expecting a full explanation as to why these files were destroyed"
5. expect, look (look forward to the birth of a child) "She is expecting in March"
6. have a bun in the oven, bear, carry, gestate, expect (be pregnant with) "She is bearing his child"

"expect to develop cancer" -> "regard something as probable or likely". The test predicts whether an individual is likely to develop cancer. So "expect" here means "regard as probable".
Let's consider "anticipate" / "expect". "whether an individual could expect to develop cancer" -> whether it is probable that they will develop cancer.
Sense 1 fits best.

Check Sense 1: "regard something as probable or likely".
Check Sense 3: "look forward to the probable occurrence of". You don't "look forward to" developing cancer.

So it must be Sense 1.
Number: 1.

17. definition=move one's pieces into strategically more advantageous positions | examples=Spassky developed quickly
18. definition=move into a strategically more advantageous position | examples=develop the rook
19. definition=elaborate by the unfolding of a musical idea and by the working out of the rhythmic and harmonic changes in the theme | examples=develop the melody and change the key
20. definition=happen | examples=Report the news as it develops
21. definition=expand in the form of a series | examples=Develop the function in the following form

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to <t>develop</t> cancer."
The word is "develop".
In this context, "develop cancer" means to come to have or undergo a change of physical features and attributes, or to contract a disease.
Let's check the senses:
1. make something new
2. work out
3. gain through experience
4. come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) | examples=He grew a beard (also applies to diseases: develop a disease/cancer)
5. come into existence
6. change the use of
7. elaborate
8. create by training
9. be gradually disclosed
10. grow, progress, unfold (flower developed)
11. become technologically advanced
12. cause to grow
13. generate gradually
14. grow emotionally or mature
15. make visible (film)
16. superimpose
17. move pieces
18. move into position
19. elaborate musical idea
20. happen
21. expand in series

Wait, "develop a disease" falls under sense 4: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". WordNet sense for "develop" (grow a disease, etc.) is often grouped with "grow" (e.g., grow a beard, develop a cough, develop cancer).
Let's verify WordNet senses for "develop":
- develop, grow (come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)) "He grew a beard"; "The patient developed abdominal pains"; "I developed a cold" -> This matches Sense 4 exactly.
Let's check the examples for Sense 4: "He grew a beard". The definition is "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)".
Yes, "develop cancer" means to come to have cancer. So Sense 4 is the correct one.

Let me double check sense 5: "come into existence; take on form or shape" (originate).
Sense 10: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment" (A flower developed on the branch).
Sense 4 is definitely the one for acquiring a disease or physical attribute. "develop cancer" = "grow/come to have cancer".

Therefore, the number is 4.
Let's confirm: 4. definition=come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) | examples=He grew a beard.
Yes.

Sentence: Equally <t>important</t>, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=of great significance or value | examples=important people
2. definition=important in effect or meaning | examples=a significant change in tax laws

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally <t>important</t>, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
The word "important" here means "of great significance or value". The discovery is equally important (significant/valuable).
Let's check the senses:
1. of great significance or value
2. important in effect or meaning (significant)
3. of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis (crucial)
4. having authority or ascendancy or influence (influential)
5. having or suggesting a consciousness of high position (self-important)

"Equally important" usually aligns with sense 1: "of great significance or value".
Let's consider WordNet senses for "important":
1. important (of great significance or value) "important people"; "has the important part of the play"
2. significant, important (important in effect or meaning) "a significant change in tax laws"; "significant improvement in the schools"
3. crucial, important (of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis) "a crucial moment in his career"; "a crucial election"
4. important (having authority or ascendancy or influence) "an important official"
5. important (having or suggesting a consciousness of high position) "recited the decree with an important air"

In the sentence, "Equally important, the initial discovery..." means it is of great significance. Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. Sense 1 is the most general and fits "important" as an adjective describing the significance of the discovery.
Number: 1.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial <t>discovery</t> of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

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: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
The word is "discovery".
Senses:
1. the act of discovering something
2. something that is discovered
3. a productive insight
4. (law) compulsory pretrial disclosure...

In the sentence, "the initial discovery of the gene... made by a Boston doctor..." refers to the act of discovering the gene, or the event of discovering it. Wait, "the discovery of the gene... made by..." could be the act. Let's look at WordNet senses for discovery.
Sense 1: discovery, find, uncovering (the act of discovering something) "the discovery of the body"
Sense 2: discovery (something that is discovered) "the discoveries of the 19th century"
Sense 3: discovery, breakthrough, find (a productive insight)
Sense 4: discovery ((law) compulsory pretrial disclosure...)

"the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor" -> "made by" implies it's an act or an event, but "discovery" can also be the thing discovered. "The discovery... has opened a field".
Wait, usually "discovery of [object]" where it's an action performed by someone ("made by") aligns with Sense 1: the act of discovering something.
Let's check if there's a distinction. "the discovery of America" (act). "the discovery of penicillin" (act).
"made by a Boston doctor" - you "make" a discovery (the act).
Therefore, Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"the initial discovery of the gene... made by..."
Act of discovering.
Sense 1: the act of discovering something.
Sense 2: something that is discovered. (e.g., "The new element was a great discovery.")

Here, it's the act of discovering the gene. So 1.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that <t>controls</t> retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

7. definition=be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something | examples=He verified that the valves were closed
8. definition=have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of | examples=Do you control these data?

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that <t>controls</t> retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
The word "controls" refers to a gene regulating or controlling cell growth.
Looking at the senses:
1. exercise authoritative control or power over (e.g., control the budget) - not quite biological. Wait, WordNet sense for "control" as in "regulate" or "determine". Let's check WordNet senses for "control".
Sense 1: exercise authoritative control or power over (control the budget, control the population)
Sense 2: lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits (moderate your alcohol intake, control your anger)
Sense 3: handle and cause to function (do not operate machinery...)
Sense 4: control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully... (manipulate)
Sense 5: check or regulate (a scientific experiment)...
Sense 6: verify by using a duplicate register...
Sense 7: be careful or certain to do something...
Sense 8: have a firm understanding or knowledge of...

Wait, is there a sense for "regulate" or "determine the behavior of"?
Let's re-read Sense 1: "exercise authoritative control or power over". In WordNet, "control" (verb) has:
1. control, command (exercise authoritative control or power over) "control the budget"; "Command the military forces"
2. control, hold in, hold, contain, check, curb, moderate (lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits)
3. operate, control (handle and cause to function)
4. manipulate (control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully, usually to one's advantage)
5. control, verify (check or regulate (a scientific experiment) by conducting a parallel experiment or comparing with another standard)
6. control (verify by using a duplicate register for comparison)
7. see, check, see to it, ensure, control, ascertain, assure, verify (be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something)
8. master, control (have a firm understanding or knowledge of; be on top of)

Wait, what about biological control? "the gene that controls retinal cell growth".
Is it Sense 1? "exercise authoritative control or power over" - often used metaphorically for genes controlling processes.
Or is there another sense?
Let's check if there's a sense "direct or influence".
Actually, WordNet verb "control" has:
1. exercise authoritative control or power over
2. lessen the intensity of
3. handle and cause to function
4. influence skillfully
5. check or regulate
6. verify
7. be careful
8. have a firm understanding

In the context of "gene that controls retinal cell growth", "control" means to regulate or direct. Which WordNet sense is this mapped to?
Often, "control" in biology (e.g., "genes control development") is mapped to Sense 1 (exercise authoritative control or power over) or Sense 2 (hold in restraint). But "regulate" is closer to 1 or maybe there's a specific sense.
Wait, let's look at the options.
1. exercise authoritative control or power over
2. lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint
3. handle and cause to function
4. control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully
5. check or regulate (a scientific experiment)
6. verify
7. be careful
8. have a firm understanding

Could it be 1? "The gene controls cell growth." -> The gene exercises control over cell growth.
Let's consider "control" as in "regulate". WordNet synset: `control, command` (exercise authoritative control or power over). Examples: "control the budget", "Command the military forces".
Another synset: `control, hold in, hold, contain, check, curb, moderate` (lessen the intensity of...).
Another: `operate, control` (handle and cause to function).
Another: `manipulate` (control others...).
There is no specific biological sense in the 8 provided. Therefore, it must be Sense 1, as it's the most general "exercise control over" (i.e., determine the behavior of, direct).
Let's double check if there's any other sense. "handle and cause to function" (operate a machine). "lessen the intensity" (control anger). "check or regulate an experiment".
So Sense 1 is the best fit for "gene controls growth" (it exercises control over it).

Wait, I should also consider if "control" here means "regulate" which might be grouped under 1.
Yes, "exercise authoritative control or power over" is the hypernym/general sense for "direct, determine, regulate" in many NLP datasets (like SemCor). In SemCor, "gene that controls" is usually tagged as `control%2:41:00` (exercise authoritative control or power over) or `control%2:39:00`? No, 2:41:00 is the first sense.
Let's confirm: 1. exercise authoritative control or power over.
I will return 1.

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell <t>growth</t>, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell <t>growth</t>, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
The word is "growth".
The context is "retinal cell growth", which relates to the biological process of cells growing and dividing, or the proliferation of cells. Wait, is it the biological process of an organism growing (sense 1), or an abnormal proliferation of tissue (sense 6), or something else?
The sentence talks about "retinal cell growth" and "opened a field of cancer study".
Wait, retinal cell growth here refers to the normal or abnormal biological process. But sense 1 is "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically". Retinal cells are not an individual organism.
Let's re-read the senses.
1. (biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically...
2. a progression from simpler to more complex forms
3. a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important
4. vegetation that has grown
5. the gradual beginning or coming forth
6. (pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)
7. something grown or growing

Wait, "cell growth" usually refers to the process of cells increasing in size or number. Is it sense 1? WordNet defines "growth, growing, maturation, development, ontogeny" as "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically...". But "cell growth" might just be "growth" in a general biological sense, or "increase in size".
Let's check WordNet senses for "growth".
Noun:
1. growth, growing, maturation, development, ontogeny ((biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level) "he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children"
2. growth (a progression from simpler to more complex forms) "the growth of culture"
3. growth, increase, increment (a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important) "the increase in unemployment"; "the growth of population"
4. growth, vegetation (vegetation that has grown) "a growth of trees"
5. emergence, growth, outgrowth (the gradual beginning or coming forth) "figurines presage the emergence of sculpture in Greece"
6. growth, abnormal proliferation ((pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor))
7. growth (something grown or growing) "a growth of hair"

In the sentence: "...gene that controls retinal cell growth..."
Could it be sense 1 (development/growing)? "retinal cell growth" -> the process of cells growing. But sense 1 specifies "individual organism".
Could it be sense 3 (process of becoming larger or more numerous)? Cell growth = cells becoming more numerous (proliferation) or larger.
Could it be sense 6 (abnormal proliferation)? The gene controls retinal cell growth, and its discovery opened a field of cancer study. The gene might be a tumor suppressor or oncogene (e.g., Rb gene, retinoblastoma). Retinoblastoma is a cancer. So the gene controls cell growth, and when mutated, leads to abnormal proliferation (cancer). But the phrase is "retinal cell growth", which is a normal process controlled by the gene, or is it referring to the tumor growth? "controls retinal cell growth" usually means the normal physiological process of cell proliferation.
Wait, let's think about WordNet sense mappings in SemCor or similar datasets.
"cell growth" is often mapped to sense 1 (development) or sense 3 (increase).
Actually, "growth" in "cell growth" or "plant growth" is often mapped to sense 1 in WordNet, despite the "individual organism" gloss, because it's the biological sense. Let's check if there's a better fit.
Wait, "growth" (biology) - sense 1.
Let's consider "retinal cell growth". Is it sense 1?
Let's look at the gloss for sense 1: "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level".
Is "cell growth" considered sense 1? Yes, in biology, cellular growth and development.
What about sense 3? "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important". Examples: "increase in unemployment", "growth of population".
What about sense 6? "(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)". The sentence says "controls retinal cell growth... opened a field of cancer study". The gene controls normal growth, and its dysregulation causes cancer. So it's not the abnormal proliferation itself, but the biological process of growth.
Let's search for the exact sentence: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
This is from a corpus, likely the Brown corpus or Wall Street Journal (Penn Treebank). Thaddeus Dryja discovered the retinoblastoma gene (or rather, the gene for retinoblastoma, actually it was Webster Cavenee or Dryja? Dryja cloned the Rb gene in 1986).
In the Penn Treebank / SemCor, "growth" in "cell growth" or "economic growth".
If it's SemCor, "growth" as in biological growing is Sense 1.
Let's check if "cell growth" is Sense 1.
"the process of an individual organism growing organically"
Could it be Sense 1? Yes.
Wait, could it be Sense 3? "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous". Cell growth = cells becoming more numerous.
But "growth" in a biological context (like "cell growth", "plant growth", "bacterial growth") is almost always tagged as Sense 1 in WordNet-based datasets because of the "(biology)" tag, even if the gloss says "individual organism".
Let's reconsider Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
"retinal cell growth" -> biological process. Sense 1 has the domain tag "(biology)".
Let's choose Sense 1.

Wait, is there any chance it's Sense 6? "an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)". The sentence says "controls retinal cell growth... opened a field of cancer study". The gene controls the *normal* growth, preventing cancer. So it's not the tumor itself.

Let's double check if there's any other biological sense. No, Sense 1 is the only general biology sense.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's review the sentence again: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell <t>growth</t>, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
"retinal cell growth" -> biology -> Sense 1.

I will output 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, <t>made</t> by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The word "made" is used in the phrase "the initial discovery ... made by a Boston doctor".
Here, "made" means "performed or carried out" or "achieved" or "formulated in the mind" (discovery).
Let's look at the senses:
Sense 7: make, formulate, or derive in the mind (I draw a line here) - maybe?
Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a decision, make a discovery). "Make a discovery" is a classic collocation for "perform or carry out".
Let's check Sense 16: definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision. "Make a discovery" fits perfectly here.
Wait, "make a discovery" -> perform or carry out.
Let's see if there is another sense.
Sense 6: create or manufacture
Sense 7: formulate in the mind
Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a decision, make an attempt, make a discovery).
Is "discovery" something you perform or carry out? Yes, "make a discovery" is an action.
Let's check WordNet senses for "make":
- perform or carry out: "make a decision", "make a move", "make a discovery"?
Wait, WordNet sense for "make" (perform or carry out): "make a decision", "make a move", "make a pass", "make a discovery" might be under this.
Let's check "make a discovery".
Actually, WordNet 3.1:
make, do, perform, execute, carry out, accomplish - perform or carry out; "make a decision", "make a move", "make a discovery" -> wait, is "make a discovery" under "perform or carry out"?
Let's look at the given examples for Sense 16: "make a decision".
What about Sense 7: "make, formulate, or derive in the mind" -> "draw a line", "make a mental picture".
What about Sense 16: "perform or carry out" -> "make a decision".
Yes, "make a discovery" is definitely "perform or carry out".

Let's double check.
"discovery ... made by a doctor" -> the doctor made the discovery.
Make a discovery = perform/carry out a discovery.
Therefore, Sense 16.

Let's review the options.
1. engage in
2. give certain properties
3. make or cause to be
4. cause to do
5. give rise to
6. create or manufacture
7. make, formulate, or derive in the mind
8. compel
9. create by artistic means
10. earn
11. create or design
12. compose or represent
13. reach a goal
14. be capable of being changed
15. make by shaping
16. perform or carry out (make a decision)
17. make by combining
18. change from one form
19. act in a certain way
20. charge with a function
21. achieve a point
22. reach a destination
23. institute, enact
24. carry out or commit (make a mistake) -> wait, "make a mistake" is carry out or commit. "make a discovery" is perform or carry out.
Let's check Sense 24: "carry out or commit" - "make a mistake", "make a blunder", "commit a crime".
Sense 16: "perform or carry out" - "make a decision", "make a move", "make a discovery".

Yes, 16 is the best fit.
Let's confirm if "make a discovery" is 16.
"make a decision" is 16.
"make a discovery" is an action, performing the act of discovering.
I will output 16.
Wait, could it be 7? "formulate in the mind". No, discovery is finding something that exists, not formulating it.
Could it be 6? "create or manufacture". No.
So 16 is correct.
I'm confident in 16.

Senses:
1. definition=a licensed medical practitioner | examples=I felt so bad I went to see my doctor
2. definition=(Roman Catholic Church) a title conferred on 33 saints who distinguished themselves through the orthodoxy of their theological teaching | examples=the Doctors of the Church greatly influenced Christian thought down to the late Middle Ages
3. definition=children take the roles of physician or patient or nurse and pretend they are at the physician's office | examples=the children explored each other's bodies by playing the game of doctor
4. definition=a person who holds Ph.D. degree (or the equivalent) from an academic institution | examples=she is a doctor of philosophy in physics

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston <t>doctor</t> named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
The word "doctor" refers to Thaddeus Dryja, a Boston doctor who discovered a gene controlling retinal cell growth. This refers to a medical practitioner (an ophthalmologist/physician).
Sense 1: a licensed medical practitioner.
Sense 2: Roman Catholic Church title.
Sense 3: children's game.
Sense 4: person who holds Ph.D. degree.

Thaddeus Dryja is an ophthalmologist (medical doctor) and researcher. Wait, could it be Sense 1 or Sense 4? He is an MD (medical doctor). "Boston doctor" usually implies a medical practitioner in this context (retinal cell growth, cancer study). Sense 1 fits best.

Check Sense 1: "a licensed medical practitioner".
Check Sense 4: "a person who holds Ph.D. degree".
Usually, "Boston doctor" in the context of medical research (retinal cell growth, cancer) refers to a medical doctor (physician). Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check. Thaddeus Dryja is an ophthalmologist. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors.
Thus, Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor <t>named</t> Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."

The word "named" in this context means "having the name" or "called". Wait, the senses are:
1. assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to (They named their son David) -> "a doctor named Thaddeus Dryja" -> he was assigned the name Thaddeus Dryja, or rather, he is called Thaddeus Dryja. Let's look closely at sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to". "a doctor named Thaddeus Dryja" is a passive construction of "They named the doctor Thaddeus Dryja" or simply "a doctor who has the name". Actually, WordNet sense 1 for "name" is "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to; 'They named their son David'".
Wait, could it be 2? "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property".
Let's check WordNet senses for "name":
1. name, call (assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to) "They named their son David"; "The child was named after his grandfather"
2. name, identify (give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property) "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"; "The almanac identifies the auspicious months"
3. name, nominate (charge with a function; charge to be) "She was named Head of the Committee"; "The president named his new secretary of state"
4. nominate, name, make (create and charge with a task or function) "nominate a committee"
5. name (mention and identify by name) "name your accomplices!"
6. name, bring up, cite, mention, refer, advert (make reference to) "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention"
7. name, identify (identify as in botany or biology, for example)
8. list, name (give or make a list of; name individually; give the names of) "List the states west of the Mississippi"
9. diagnose, name (determine or distinguish the nature of a problem or an illness through a diagnostic analysis)

In "a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja", "named" means "called". Which sense is this?
Sense 1: assign a specified proper name to. "They named their son David". Passive: "Their son was named David". "a doctor named Thaddeus Dryja". This perfectly matches Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"named" as an adjective/participle here means "given the name" or "called".
Sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to" -> "They named their son David".
Is there another sense? No, Sense 1 is the standard sense for "named [Name]".

Let's review the sentence again: "made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja"
This means the doctor's name is Thaddeus Dryja. He was given the name Thaddeus Dryja. Thus, Sense 1.

Wait, Sense 1 is "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to".
Sense 2 is "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name...".
In "a doctor named Thaddeus Dryja", "named" is the past participle of "name" in the sense of "call" or "give a name to".
Therefore, Sense 1 is correct.
I will return 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has <t>opened</t> a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded."
The word is "opened".
The context is "opened a field of cancer study". This means it made the field available, or started to operate/function, or caused to become open/available.
Let's check the senses:
1. cause to open or to become open (Mary opened the car door)
2. start to operate or function or cause to start operating or functioning (open a business)
3. become open (The door opened)
4. begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc.
5. spread out or open from a closed or folded state
6. make available (This opens up new possibilities)
7. become available (an opportunity opened up)
8. have an opening or passage or outlet
9. make the opening move
10. afford access to
11. display the contents of a file

"opened a field of cancer study" -> made it available? Or started it?
Wait, "open a field" is similar to "open up new possibilities".
Let's look at sense 6: "make available" - "This opens up new possibilities". "opened a field of cancer study" -> made a field of cancer study available.
Could it be sense 2? "start to operate or function" - "open a business". A field of study is not a business.
Could it be sense 1? "cause to open" - physical.
Could it be sense 6? "make available". "opened a field" = made a field available for study.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "open".
Sense: make available. Example: "This opens up new possibilities".
Sentence: "...has opened a field of cancer study..." -> made available.
Let's double check.
"open a field" -> to make available.
Is there any other sense? "begin or set in action" (sense 4) - no, that's for meetings.
"start to operate" (sense 2) - open a business, open a new store.
"make available" (sense 6) - opens up new possibilities, opens a field.
Yes, sense 6 fits best. "make available" -> "opened a field of cancer study".

Let's review the exact WordNet definition:
Verb:
1. open, open up (cause to open or to become open) "Mary opened the car door"
2. open (start to operate or function or cause to start operating or functioning) "open a business"
3. open (become open) "The door opened"
4. open (begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc.) "He opened the meeting with a long speech"
5. open, open up (spread out or open from a closed or folded state) "open the map"
6. open, open up (make available) "This opens up new possibilities"
7. open, open up (become available) "an opportunity opened up"

In the sentence, "has opened a field of cancer study" means it made the field available (for research, etc.).
Therefore, sense 6 is the correct one.
Let's confirm if it could be 2. "open a business" -> "open a field"? No, "field" is not an organization or business.
Could it be 1? No.
So 6 is the most appropriate.
I will return 6.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "recent" as used in the provided sentence.
Sentence: "...which in recent months has exploded."

Senses:
1. definition=new | examples=recent graduates
2. definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time | examples=a late development

In the sentence, "recent months" refers to the months of the immediate past or just previous to the present time.
Sense 1 refers to "new" (e.g., recent graduates).
Sense 2 refers to "of the immediate past or just previous to the present time" (e.g., a late development, recent months).

Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check.
"recent months" -> months that just passed. Sense 2 fits perfectly.
Sense 1 is "new" as in "recent graduate" (a new graduate).

Return only the number.
Number: 2.

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

Sentence: Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent <t>months</t> has exploded.

Senses:
1. definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | examples=he paid the bill last month
2. definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent <t>months</t> has exploded."
The word "months" here refers to the calendar months (recent months).
Let's check the senses:
1. one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | examples=he paid the bill last month
2. a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill

"in recent months" refers to the calendar months that have recently passed. So sense 1 is more appropriate. Wait, "recent months" means the calendar months. Sense 1 is "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year". Sense 2 is "a time unit of approximately 30 days". "Recent months" clearly uses sense 1.

Let's double check. WordNet sense for month:
1. calendar month, month - one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year; "he paid the bill last month"
2. month - a time unit of approximately 30 days; "he was given a month to pay the bill"

"in recent months" refers to calendar months. So sense 1.
I will return 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has <t>exploded</t>."

The word "exploded" here refers to a field of cancer study expanding or increasing rapidly.
Let's check the senses:
1. cause to burst...
2. burst outward...
3. show a violent emotional reaction
4. be unleashed...
5. destroy by exploding
6. cause to burst as a result of air pressure...
7. drive from the stage...

10. increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner | examples=The population of India is exploding

Sense 10 fits "increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner". A field of study "exploding" means it is growing rapidly.

Let's double check.
"which in recent months has exploded." -> The field of cancer study has increased rapidly.
Sense 10 is the correct one.
Number: 10.
