Target lemma: arsenic
Target surface form: Arsenic
Context:
The discovery "does show that in other planetary environments organisms might be able to use other elements to drive biochemistry and that the 'standard' set of elements we think are absolutely necessary for life might not be so fixed," commented Charles Cockell, professor at Planetary and Space Sciences Research Institute, Open University, in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Cockell was not part of the research team. "This work is novel because it shows the substitution of one element for another in fundamental biochemistry and biochemical structure," added Cockell. It wasn't a chance discovery. Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic levels. <t>Arsenic</t> and phosphorus are chemically similar, so she speculated that a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other. "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=arsenic%1:27:01:: | definition=a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic; used in manufacturing glass and as a pesticide (rat poison) and weed killer | synonyms=arsenic trioxide, arsenous anhydride, arsenous oxide, white arsenic, ratsbane

The target word is "Arsenic".
Context: "Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar, so she speculated that a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other. 'Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus.'"
The context talks about arsenic as an element, comparing it to phosphorus, and its chemical behavior.
Sense 1: a white powdered poisonous trioxide of arsenic (arsenic trioxide).
Sense 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. Synonyms: As, atomic number 33.

The context explicitly mentions "Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar", which refers to the element itself, not specifically the trioxide.
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Sense index: 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "result" in the context: "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."
The phrase "As a result" means "as a consequence" or "as an outcome".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=result%1:19:00:: | definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise; his decision had depressing consequences for business

4. sense_key=result%1:10:01:: | definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause

"As a result" is an idiom meaning "as a consequence". Sense 1 is "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (consequence, effect, outcome).
Wait, "As a result" -> consequence.
Let's check sense 1: consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot.
Sense 3: something that results, resultant, final result, outcome, termination.
In "As a result", it means "as a consequence".
Let's see: "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."
This is a consequence of the fact that arsenic's chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot.
"As a result" = "As a consequence".
Yes, sense 1 is the correct sense.
Context: "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus." "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart."
This is a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon.
I will choose sense 1.

Target lemma: concentration
Target surface form: concentrations
Context:
Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, who led the study, targeted Mono Lake because it has high arsenic levels. Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar, so she speculated that a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other. "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus." "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart." "But arsenic 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 researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing <t>concentrations</t> of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. 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 arsenic is more common.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "concentrations" in the context: "The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow."
The context is about the strength or amount of a substance (arsenic) in a solution or environment.
Sense 1: "the strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume"
Sense 2: "the spatial property of being crowded together"
Sense 3: "strengthening the concentration (as of a solute in a mixture) by removing diluting material"
Sense 4: "increase in density"
Sense 5: "complete attention; intense mental effort"
Sense 6: "bringing together military forces"
Sense 7: "great and constant diligence and attention"

The context refers to "increasing concentrations of arsenic", which means the amount/strength of arsenic in the solution/environment.
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "the strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume".

Let's double check.
"increasing concentrations of arsenic" -> the strength of a solution.
Sense 1 is the best match.
Sense 3 is the act of strengthening the concentration.
Sense 1 is the state/property (strength of a solution).
Therefore, sense 1.

The context discusses arsenic as a chemical element, similar to phosphorus, with atomic number 33, used in biochemical machinery, and found in nature.
Sense 1: arsenic trioxide (white arsenic, ratsbane) - a specific compound.
Sense 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. Synonyms: As, atomic number 33.

The context talks about the element arsenic (As) substituting for phosphorus (P) in biochemical machinery. It mentions "arsenic is different enough that it doesn't work as well as phosphorus", "a life form using arsenic". This clearly refers to the element itself, not specifically arsenic trioxide.
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

The target word is "possibility".
Context: "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 arsenic is more common."
The phrase is "raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally".
This means the capability of existing or happening or being true.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. a future prospect or potential (e.g., this room has great possibilities)
2. capability of existing or happening or being true (e.g., there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired)
3. a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena (hypothesis, theory)
4. a possible alternative (possible action, opening)

"raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally" matches "capability of existing or happening or being true".
Sense 2: capability of existing or happening or being true.
Example: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired"
This perfectly matches "raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally".

Let's double check.
"raises the possibility that..." -> capability of existing or happening or being true.
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Sense 1 is about potential (e.g., "this room has great possibilities").
Sense 3 is about a hypothesis or theory.
Sense 4 is about a possible alternative (e.g., "bankruptcy is always a possibility").

Therefore, sense 2 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 2}.
I will output this.

The context refers to a natural satellite of a planet, as in "another planet or moon".
Let's look at the candidate 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

The context says "another planet or moon", which clearly refers to a natural satellite of a planet (not specifically Earth's moon).
Therefore, sense 6 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"another planet or moon" -> "any natural satellite of a planet".
Sense 6: sense_key=moon%1:17:00:: | definition=any natural satellite of a planet | examples=Jupiter has sixteen moons.

Target lemma: arsenic
Target surface form: arsenic
Context:
Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar, so she speculated that a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other. "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus." "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart." "But arsenic 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 researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. 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. 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 example where it was shown to work.

'Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus.' ... The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. ... where arsenic is more common."
The context discusses arsenic as a chemical element, comparing it to phosphorus, mentioning its chemical behavior, atomic properties (implied by "element"), and its presence in the environment.
Candidate senses:
1. arsenic%1:27:01:: (arsenic trioxide, white arsenic, ratsbane) - a specific compound.
2. arsenic%1:27:00:: (As, atomic number 33) - 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.

The context talks about "arsenic" as an element ("these elements apart", "chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus"). Phosphorus is an element. Therefore, sense 2 is the correct one.
Sense 2 is "arsenic%1:27:00::".
Index is 2.
Double check: "where arsenic is more common" refers to the element.
Yes, sense 2.

"the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus" is a thought, a concept, the content of cognition.
Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" (synonym: thought). "the thought that arsenic could be substituted..." fits perfectly.
Sense 3: "a personal view" - this is more of a scientific hypothesis or concept, not just a personal view.
Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new" -> the thought/concept/proposition.
Sense 1: idea%1:09:00::
Yes, sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "example" in the context: "...but there has never been <t>example</t> where it was shown to work."
The sentence means there has never been an instance or case where it was shown to work.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. an item of information that is typical of a class or group (illustration, instance, representative)
2. a representative form or pattern (model)
3. something to be imitated (exemplar, model, good example)
4. punishment intended as a warning to others (deterrent example, lesson, object lesson)
5. an occurrence of something (case, instance)
6. a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding (exercise)

Wait, "there has never been an example where it was shown to work" -> an occurrence of something, a case, an instance.
Sense 5: "an occurrence of something" synonyms: case, instance. Examples: "it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday".
Sense 1: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group" synonyms: illustration, instance, representative. Examples: "this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome; there is an example on page 10".

Let's read the context again: "there has never been example where it was shown to work."
Actually, "an example" here means an instance or a case.
Is it sense 1 or sense 5?
"there has never been an example where it was shown to work." -> "there has never been a case where it was shown to work."
Sense 5: "an occurrence of something" synonyms: case, instance.
Sense 1: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group" synonyms: illustration, instance, representative.

Let's check WordNet for "example".
Sense 1: an item of information that is typical of a class or group.
Sense 5: an occurrence of something. "it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday"

"there has never been an example where it was shown to work" -> an occurrence of something (a case).
Wait, "an example" in this context is synonymous with "a case" or "an instance".
Let's see: "there has never been an example where it was shown to work."
Could it be sense 5? "an occurrence of something" -> case, instance.
Or sense 1? "an item of information that is typical of a class or group" -> illustration, instance, representative.

"there has never been an example where it was shown to work" -> "there has never been a case where it was shown to work."
"case" is a synonym for sense 5.
Let's look at sense 5: "an occurrence of something" synonyms: case, instance.
Let's look at sense 1: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group" synonyms: illustration, instance, representative.

"there has never been an example where it was shown to work"
Is it an occurrence of something? Yes, an occurrence of it being shown to work.
Or is it an item of information? No, it's an actual occurrence/case.
"there has never been a case where it was shown to work."
I will go with sense 5.

Let's double check.
"there has never been an example where it was shown to work."
"example" = case, instance.
Sense 5: an occurrence of something. Synonyms: case, instance.
Sense 1: an item of information that is typical of a class or group. Synonyms: illustration, instance, representative.

"there has never been an example" -> "there has never been a case".
I think sense 5 is the best fit.
Let's consider sense 1: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group". The context is about a real-world occurrence (a life form using arsenic), not just an item of information.
So sense 5 is better.
Wait, let's search for "there has never been an example where".
"there has never been an example where it was shown to work" -> "there has never been a case where it was shown to work".
Yes, sense 5.
Let's review the synonyms for sense 5: case, instance.
"another instance occurred yesterday"
"it was a case of bad judgment"
This perfectly matches "there has never been an example [case/instance] where it was shown to work."
I will choose 5.
