*   Target lemma: `exact`
    *   Target surface form: `exact`
    *   Context: "...they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the <t>exact</t> area as in the first copy of the chromosome."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `exact%3:00:00::`: marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact (e.g., an exact mind; an exact copy).
        2.  `exact%5:00:00:correct:00`: (of ideas, images, representations, expressions) characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct (synonyms: accurate, precise).

    *   The sentence says "in the exact area as in the first copy".
    *   This means the location is identical or precisely the same.
    *   Sense 1 mentions "an exact copy", which implies identity or strict accordance.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on "conformity to fact or truth" (accuracy/precision).

    *   Is the "area" an idea, image, representation, or expression? No, it's a physical location on a chromosome.
    *   Is the "area" characterized by "perfect conformity to fact or truth"? Not exactly. It's not that the area is "correct"; it's that the area is *the same* (identical).
    *   Sense 1: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact". While "fact" is used, the example "an exact copy" is very close to the usage here (the area in the second copy is an "exact" match to the area in the first copy).

    *   Wait, let's look at the senses again.
    *   Sense 1: `exact%3:00:00::` - "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact". Example: "an exact copy".
    *   Sense 2: `exact%5:00:00:correct:00` - "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct". Synonyms: "accurate, precise".

    *   In "the exact area", "exact" means "precisely the same".
    *   Comparing "exact copy" (Sense 1) vs "precise measurement" (Sense 2).
    *   "The exact area" is more like "the precise area".
    *   However, "exact copy" (Sense 1) implies identity. "The exact area as in the first copy" implies the areas are identical.

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct". This usually applies to statements, measurements, or descriptions.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact". This is a bit vague, but the example "an exact copy" is key.

    *   If I say "the exact same spot", I mean the identical spot.
    *   If I say "the exact measurement", I mean the precise measurement.
    *   In "the exact area as in the first copy", it means the identical area.

    *   Looking at WordNet (via common knowledge of its structure):
        *   `exact%3` often refers to "precise" in the sense of "identical" or "strict".
        *   `exact%5` often refers to "accurate".

    *   "The exact area as in the first copy" -> The area is identical.
    *   Sense 1 example: "an exact copy".
    *   Sense 2 example: "a precise measurement".

    *   The usage "exact area as in..." is closer to "exact copy" (identity) than "precise measurement" (accuracy).

    *   Wait, let me double-check the definitions again.
    *   Sense 1: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact".
    *   Sense 2: "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct".

    *   Actually, "exact" in "exact area" often means "precise".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "accurate, precise".
    *   "They found defects in the precise area as in the first copy." (Works well).
    *   "They found defects in the identical area as in the first copy." (Works well).

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact". Example: "an exact copy".
    *   If something is an "exact copy", it is identical.
    *   If the area is the "exact area as in the first copy", it is the identical area.

    *   Let's compare:
        *   "The exact area" (meaning identical) -> Sense 1 (exact copy).
        *   "The exact area" (meaning precise) -> Sense 2 (precise measurement).

    *   In the context of "the exact area as in the first copy", the word "exact" is used to emphasize that the location is the same. This is a sense of identity.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact". This is a weird definition for "identical", but the example "an exact copy" strongly points to identity.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct". This is about accuracy.

    *   Is the area "accurate"? No. Is the area "identical"? Yes.

    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the better fit.

    *   Wait, let me search for "exact area" in a corpus.
    *   "The exact area of the house" (precise measurement) -> Sense 2.
    *   "The exact area where the accident happened" (precise location) -> Sense 2? Or Sense 1?
    *   "The exact area as in the first copy" (identical location) -> Sense 1.

    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "an exact copy".
    *   Sense 2: "a precise measurement".

    *   "The exact area as in the first copy" is much more like "an exact copy" (meaning identical) than "a precise measurement" (meaning accurate).

    *   Wait, let me think about "precise" again. "Precise" can also mean "exact" in terms of location.
    *   "The precise location" = "The exact location".
    *   Is "precise location" an example of "perfect conformity to fact or truth"? Not really. It's more about specificity.

    *   Let's look at the WordNet senses for "exact" (adjective) again.
    *   Sense 1: `exact%3:00:00::` (strict, particular, complete accordance with fact) - Example: "exact copy".
    *   Sense 2: `exact%5:00:00:correct:00` (perfect conformity to fact or truth) - Example: "precise measurement".

    *   If I say "the exact area", I am specifying the location precisely.
    *   If I say "the exact area as in the first copy", I am saying the location is identical.

    *   Let's try to substitute:
        *   "the identical area as in the first copy" (Sense 1)
        *   "the accurate area as in the first copy" (Sense 2) - This doesn't make sense.

    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most likely.

    *   Wait, let me double-check the definition of Sense 1 again: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact".
    *   If the area in the second copy is the "exact area" as in the first, it is in "complete accordance" with the first.

    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct".
    *   This is definitely about accuracy/truth.

    *   Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit because it covers identity ("exact copy"), whereas Sense 2 covers accuracy ("precise measurement").

    *   Target: "exact area as in the first copy"
    *   Sense 1: "exact copy" (Identity)
    *   Sense 2: "precise measurement" (Accuracy)
    *   Identity is the intended meaning here.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1's definition: "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact".
    *   And Sense 2's definition: "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct".
    *   These are very similar. Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "an exact copy".
    *   Sense 2: "a precise measurement".

    *   "The exact area as in the first copy" is essentially saying the area is a "copy" of the area in the first copy.

    *   Let's double-check if there's any other sense.
    *   (Searching for WordNet exact adjective)
    *   Sense 1: `exact%3:00:00::` - "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact"
    *   Sense 2: `exact%5:00:00:correct:00` - "characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct"

    *   Actually, looking at other WordNet-based datasets, "exact" in the sense of "identical" is often mapped to the "exact copy" sense.

    *   Final check:
        *   Context: "exact area as in the first copy"
        *   Meaning: Identical area.
        *   Sense 1 example: "exact copy".
        *   Sense 2 example: "precise measurement".
        *   Sense 1 is the winner.

    *   Key phrase: "the first copy of the chromosome" (contrasted with "the second copy").

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree (e.g., "the first house on the right").
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series (synonym: 1st).

    *   Sense 5: ranking above all others (synonyms: foremost, world-class).
    *   Sense 6: highest in pitch or chief among parts (e.g., "first soprano").

    *   The context mentions "the second copy" and "the first copy".
    *   This is a clear ordinal sequence (1st, 2nd).
    *   Sense 1 refers to position in space/time/degree.
    *   Sense 2 refers to the ordinal number (1st).
    *   Sense 3 and 4 refer to "beginning" or "opening" in a more functional or structural way (like an inaugural issue or the first verse).
    *   Sense 5 is about quality/rank.
    *   Sense 6 is about music/pitch.

    *   "The first copy" vs "the second copy" is a classic use of ordinal numbers to distinguish between two items in a set.
    *   Sense 1 ("preceding all others in time or space or degree") is very close.
    *   Sense 2 ("indicating the beginning unit in a series") is the definition of the ordinal "1st".

    *   Sense 1: "the first house on the right" (spatial order).
    *   Sense 2: "1st" (ordinal).
    *   In the context of "first copy" and "second copy", we are numbering the copies. This is an ordinal use.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "preceding all others in time or space or degree".
    *   Sense 2: "indicating the beginning unit in a series".
    *   Usually, "first" as an adjective meaning "number one in a sequence" is mapped to the ordinal sense.
    *   Let's compare "the first house on the right" (Sense 1) with "the first copy" (Sense 2).
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, "first" as an adjective meaning "coming before all others" is Sense 1. Sense 2 is often the adverbial or specific ordinal marker.
    *   Let's re-read:
        Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
        Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   "The first copy" (compared to the second) fits "preceding all others" (though there are only two) or "beginning unit in a series".
    *   However, "first" and "second" are the quintessential ordinal numbers.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "the first house on the right", "the first day of spring". These are also ordinal in nature.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2: "indicating the beginning unit in a series". Synonym: "1st".
    *   In the phrase "the first copy", "first" is an adjective.
    *   Is "the first copy" a "beginning unit in a series"? Yes.
    *   Is it "preceding all others in time or space or degree"? Yes.
    *   Usually, when "first" is used as an ordinal adjective (1st, 2nd, 3rd), it's the ordinal sense.
    *   Let's check the distinction between Sense 1 and Sense 2 in WordNet.
    *   Sense 1 (adj): preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2 (adj/adv): indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   Actually, looking at the provided options:
        1. preceding all others in time or space or degree
        2. indicating the beginning unit in a series
    *   "The first copy" (of two) is the first unit in the series of copies.
    *   "The first house on the right" is the first unit in the series of houses.
    *   Wait, "the first house on the right" is listed under Sense 1. If "the first house" is Sense 1, then "the first copy" is likely Sense 1.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2. "indicating the beginning unit in a series". This is often used for the ordinal number itself.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        Sense 1: "the first house on the right", "the first day of spring".
        Sense 2: No examples, just synonym "1st".
    *   If "the first house" is Sense 1, then "the first copy" (which is structurally identical: [the] [first] [noun]) should also be Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   If "the first house on the right" is Sense 1, then Sense 1 covers the use of "first" as an adjective describing position in a sequence.
    *   Sense 2 might be more about the ordinality itself (like "I came in first").
    *   Let's double-check the context: "the first copy of the chromosome". This is exactly like "the first house on the right".

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   Wait, "the first day of spring" (Sense 1) is the beginning unit in the series of days of spring.
    *   This is tricky. Let's look at the difference again.
    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   If "the first house" is Sense 1, then "the first copy" is almost certainly Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   Wait, if Sense 1 is "preceding all others", and there are only two copies, the first one precedes the second one.
    *   If Sense 2 is "indicating the beginning unit in a series", the first copy is the beginning unit in the series of two copies.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "the first house on the right". This is a spatial sequence. "The first day of spring" is a temporal sequence.
    *   "The first copy" is a sequence of items (copies).
    *   Looking at WordNet's structure, Sense 1 is the most general adjective for "first". Sense 2 is often the ordinal number.
    *   Let's try Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-based datasets, "the first [noun]" is mapped to the "preceding all others" sense.

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, and "the first house on the right" is Sense 1, then "the first copy" is Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: preceding all others in time or space or degree.
    *   Sense 2: indicating the beginning unit in a series.
    *   Wait, "the first house on the right" is a spatial sequence. "The first day of spring" is a temporal sequence. "The first copy" is a sequence of items.
    *   Is there a difference between "preceding all others" and "beginning unit in a series"?
    *   "Preceding all others" is the definition of being the first in a series.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "indicating the beginning unit in a series".
    *   This is almost the same. But the example "the first house on the right" is explicitly given for Sense 1.
    *   Therefore, "the first copy" should be Sense 1.

    *   Target surface form: `showed`
    *   Context: "It was the first time anyone had <t>showed</t> that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."
    *   Meaning: In this scientific context, "showed" means that researchers provided evidence or established the validity of a scientific hypothesis (that the loss of both copies of a gene leads to cancer).

    *   Sense 1: give an exhibition (demo, exhibit) - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2: establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment (prove, demonstrate, establish) - This fits well. The context is a scientific discovery.
    *   Sense 3: provide evidence for (testify, bear witness, prove, evidence) - This also fits, but Sense 2 is more about establishing a scientific fact/validity.
    *   Sense 4: make visible or noticeable - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: show in a picture (depict) - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 6: give expression to (express, evince) - Not applicable.

    *   Sense 11: take someone to their seats (usher) - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 12: finish third or better in a race - Not applicable.

    *   Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" (Synonyms: prove, demonstrate, establish). Example: "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound."
    *   Sense 3: "provide evidence for" (Synonyms: testify, bear witness, prove, evidence). Example: "The blood test showed that he was the father."

    The context "It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer" describes a scientific breakthrough establishing a causal relationship or a general principle. This aligns more closely with "establishing the validity" (Sense 2) than simply "providing evidence for" (Sense 3), although they are close. In scientific literature, "showing that [hypothesis]" usually means demonstrating/proving the validity of that hypothesis.

    *   Sense 2: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment"
    *   Sense 3: "provide evidence for"

    The sentence "It was the first time anyone had showed that..." suggests a definitive demonstration of a scientific principle. Sense 2's "establish the validity" and "demonstrate" are perfect fits for this.

    *   Sense 2: establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment.
    *   Context: "It was the first time anyone had showed that the loss of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."
    *   This is a classic use of "show" in a scientific context to mean "demonstrate" or "prove".

    *   Target surface form: `loss`
    *   Context: "...the <t>loss</t> of both copies of the same gene could lead to the eruption of a cancer."
    *   Meaning: The disappearance or absence of genetic material (genes).

    *   Sense 1: `something that is lost` (e.g., total loss of a car, loss of livestock).
    *   Sense 2: `gradual decline in amount or activity` (e.g., weight loss, loss of business).
    *   Sense 3: `the act of losing someone or something` (e.g., losing a game/competition).
    *   Sense 4: `the disadvantage that results from losing something` (synonym: deprivation).
    *   Sense 5: `the experience of losing a loved one`.
    *   Sense 6: `the amount by which the cost of a business exceeds its revenue` (financial loss).
    *   Sense 7: `military personnel lost by death or capture`.
    *   Sense 8: `euphemistic expressions for death`.

    *   The context describes the disappearance of genes ("which gene or genes had disappeared", "defects in the second copy of chromosome 13").
    *   "the loss of both copies of the same gene" refers to the fact that the genes are gone/missing.
    *   Sense 1 ("something that is lost") fits well here. It describes the state or the thing that has been lost (the genes).
    *   Sense 2 ("gradual decline") doesn't fit; the loss of a gene is usually a discrete event (deletion), not a gradual decline in amount.
    *   Sense 3 ("the act of losing") usually refers to a competition or a specific event of losing.
    *   Sense 4 ("the disadvantage") refers to the *result* of the loss, but the sentence says "the loss... could lead to the eruption of a cancer," meaning the *absence* of the gene is the cause, not the *disadvantage* of the absence.

    *   Sense 1: "something that is lost" (e.g., "loss of livestock"). In the context of genetics, "loss of a gene" means the gene is gone. This is the most direct fit.

    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    *   Sense 1: "something that is lost" (the car was a total loss; loss of livestock).
    *   Sense 3: "the act of losing someone or something" (everyone expected him to win so his loss was a shock).
    *   In "loss of both copies of the same gene," is it the *act* of losing them or the *fact* that they are gone?
    *   Usually, in scientific contexts, "loss of function" or "loss of a gene" refers to the state of being missing or the process of becoming missing.
    *   Looking at Sense 1's example "loss of livestock left the rancher bankrupt," this mirrors "loss of both copies... could lead to the eruption of a cancer." Both describe the absence/disappearance of something essential.

    *   Sense 1: something that is lost.
    *   Sense 2: gradual decline.
    *   Sense 3: act of losing (often in competition).
    *   Sense 4: disadvantage.
    *   Sense 5: losing a loved one.
    *   Sense 6: financial loss.
    *   Sense 7: military casualties.
    *   Sense 8: death.

    Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

        4.  `same%5:00:00:unchanged:00`: unchanged in character or nature (e.g., the village stayed the same).

    *   The sentence discusses "both copies of the same gene".
    *   In genetics, humans have two copies of most genes (one from each parent). These are called alleles of the *same* gene.
    *   Are they the *identical* physical object (Sense 1)? No, they are two separate physical copies (one on each chromosome).
    *   Are they *closely similar or comparable in kind* (Sense 2)? Yes. They are the same *type* of gene (e.g., the RB1 gene), even though they are two distinct physical entities.
    *   Are they *equal in amount or value* (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Are they *unchanged in character* (Sense 4)? No.

    *   Sense 1 (Identity): "the same man I saw yesterday" refers to one single person. "Both copies of the same gene" refers to two different physical copies of one *kind* of gene.
    *   Sense 2 (Similarity/Kind): "curtains the same color as the walls" refers to two different things sharing a property. "Both copies of the same gene" refers to two different physical copies sharing the identity of being the same gene (type).

    *   In biological contexts, "the same gene" usually refers to the same locus/type of gene across different chromosomes or individuals.
    *   Example: "Both copies of the same gene" means the gene at the same locus on both homologous chromosomes.
    *   This fits Sense 2: "closely similar or comparable in kind".

    *   Sense 1: Identity (One and the same).
    *   Sense 2: Kind/Type (Similar/Comparable).
    *   Since there are "both copies", they cannot be the identical physical object. They are two objects of the same kind.

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 3: Volcanic pouring out of fumes/lava. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: A sudden violent spontaneous occurrence (usually of some undesirable condition). Synonyms: outbreak, irruption. Example: "outbreak of hostilities". (Strong fit: cancer is an undesirable condition, and "outbreak" is a common synonym for the start of a disease).
    *   Sense 5: Sudden loud noise. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 6: Emergence of a tooth. (Incorrect)

    *   Sense 2 refers to a visible symptom (like a rash). While cancer can be visible, "eruption of a cancer" in this genetic context refers to the *occurrence* or *onset* of the disease process.

    *   Sense 1 (nourishment/food) is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 2 (providing freedom from worry/comforting/cheering) is closer, although "satisfying" in this context usually means "giving fulfillment" or "gratifying."

    *   Sense 2: `report or maintain` (allege, aver). This is more about making a claim.
    *   Sense 8: `utter aloud`. This is more about the physical act of speaking.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 8:
    Sense 1 is the general "state" or "tell".
    Sense 8 is "utter aloud" (e.g., "She said 'Hello'").
    In the context of a quote in an article, "says" is typically used to attribute a statement (Sense 1).

    Let's re-examine Sense 1: "express in words" (state, tell).
    Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her".
    This matches the usage in the text.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 8 again: "utter aloud".
    Example: "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office".
    The quote "It was extraordinarily satisfying" is a statement being reported.

    Usually, in these datasets, the general reporting of a statement is Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: express in words (state, tell)
    *   Sense 2: report or maintain (allege, aver)
    *   Sense 8: utter aloud

    The sentence is: `"It was extraordinarily satisfying," says Dr. Knudson`.
    This is a standard attribution of a statement. Sense 1 is the most fitting general sense for "state".

    Let's double-check if Sense 2 (report or maintain) is better. "Report or maintain" often implies a claim (allege). Dr. Knudson is expressing a feeling/opinion about his work, not necessarily making a disputed claim.

    Let's double-check Sense 8 (utter aloud). "Utter aloud" is often used for short interjections or the physical act.

    Sense 1 is the most comprehensive and standard fit for "says" in a reporting context.
