Context:
Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises possibility of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere The discovery of a strange bacteria that can use arsenic as one of its nutrients widens the scope for finding new forms of life on Earth and possibly beyond. While researchers discovered the unusual bacteria here in Earth, they say it shows that life has possibilities beyond the major elements that have been considered essential. "This organism has dual capability." "It can grow with either phosphorus or arsenic." "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some form of truly 'alien' life," commented Paul C. W. Davies of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online edition of the <t>journal</t> Science. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.

    *   The sentence is: "Six major elements have long been considered essential for life..."
    *   This refers to the biological requirements for the *phenomenon* of life to exist, rather than just a collection of living things. It's talking about the chemical basis of biological existence.
    *   Looking at the examples: "there is no life on the moon" (Sense 11) fits the scientific/biological context of the passage (finding "new forms of life on Earth and possibly beyond").
    *   Sense 10 ("living things collectively") is more about the presence of organisms (e.g., "the forest is full of life").
    *   The passage discusses "forms of life" and "essential [elements] for life," which points toward the biological phenomenon/definition of life.

    *   Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones."
    *   This fits perfectly with the discussion of chemical elements (C, H, N, O, P, S) being essential for the biological process of life.

"It can grow with either phosphorus or arsenic." "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some form of truly 'alien' life," commented Paul C. W. Davies of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. But the researchers found that the bacteria, discovered in Mono Lake, Calif., is able to continue to grow after substituting arsenic for phosphorus. "It makes you wonder what else is possible," said Ariel D. Anbar of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report. The <t>find</t> is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like, Anbar said. The study focuses on a microbe found on Earth.

        2.  `find%1:04:00::` | definition: the act of discovering something | synonyms: discovery, uncovering

    *   The sentence says "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth..."
    *   The "find" refers to the discovery that bacteria can grow using arsenic instead of phosphorus.
    *   Is it the *act* of discovering (the process) or the *result* of the discovery (the insight/breakthrough)?
    *   "The find is important" usually refers to the thing discovered or the significance of the discovery itself (the breakthrough), rather than the physical act of finding it.
    *   Comparing "productive insight/breakthrough" vs "act of discovering":
        *   Sense 1: "a productive insight", "breakthrough".
        *   Sense 2: "the act of discovering something", "uncovering".
    *   In scientific contexts, "a find" often refers to the discovery itself as a significant result (a breakthrough).

    *   Sense 1 (breakthrough/insight) fits better when describing why the discovery is "important in the search for life beyond Earth". The importance lies in the knowledge gained (the insight), not the act of having found it.

    *   Sense 1: discovery, breakthrough.
    *   Sense 2: discovery, uncovering.
    *   Both use "discovery", but "breakthrough" aligns better with "important in the search for life beyond Earth".

    *   "The find is important..." -> The discovery (the result/insight) is important.
    *   If it were the act, it would be "The finding of the bacteria was important," but "The find" as a noun usually refers to the thing found or the significance of the discovery.

    *   Sense 1: a productive insight / breakthrough.
    *   Sense 2: the act of discovering something.
    *   The context emphasizes the importance of the result for future research ("recognize life", "know what life looks like"). This points toward the "breakthrough" aspect.

Davies of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. But the researchers found that the bacteria, discovered in Mono Lake, Calif., is able to continue to grow after substituting arsenic for phosphorus. "It makes you wonder what else is possible," said Ariel D. Anbar of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report. The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what <t>life</t> looks like, Anbar said. The study focuses on a microbe found on Earth.

    *   12: biography - No.
    *   13: motive for living - No.
    *   14: prison term - No.

    *   The sentence is: "...researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like..."
    *   The context is about searching for "alien life" and identifying the chemical requirements for life.
    *   Sense 10: "living things collectively" (e.g., "the oceans are teeming with life").
    *   Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" (e.g., "there is no life on the moon").

    *   "Recognize life" and "what life looks like" in the context of astrobiology usually refers to the *phenomenon* of biological existence or the *presence* of living organisms.
    *   If the text says "the oceans are teeming with life," it's referring to the organisms (Sense 10).
    *   If the text says "there is no life on the moon," it's referring to the phenomenon/existence of biological life (Sense 11).
    *   "Recognize life" and "what life looks like" (in a scientific/biological sense) aligns closely with the distinction between living and non-living matter.

    *   Sense 10: living things collectively.
    *   Sense 11: the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones.
    *   In the phrase "recognize life," are they recognizing the *organisms* (Sense 10) or the *phenomenon* (Sense 11)?
    *   Usually, "search for life beyond Earth" (mentioned just before) refers to Sense 11 (the existence of the phenomenon).
    *   "What life looks like" suggests the physical manifestation of that phenomenon.

    *   Sense 11 example: "there is no life on the moon."
    *   Context: "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like..."
    *   This is almost identical in meaning to "search for life on the moon."

    *   Sense 10: "the oceans are teeming with life" (focus on the abundance of organisms).
    *   Sense 11: "there is no life on the moon" (focus on the presence/absence of the biological phenomenon).
    *   The context "search for life beyond Earth" and "recognize life" fits Sense 11 perfectly.

    *   The text discusses researchers discovering bacteria in Mono Lake that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus.
    *   It mentions "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth..."
    *   The specific instance: "...did not disclose details of the <t>find</t>..."
    *   In this context, "the find" refers to the discovery of the bacteria (the result/the thing discovered).

    *   Sense 1: "a productive insight" (synonyms: discovery, breakthrough). This often refers to the *thing* discovered or the *result* of the discovery (e.g., "The archaeological find was priceless").
    *   Sense 2: "the act of discovering something" (synonyms: discovery, uncovering). This refers to the *process* or *event* of finding.

    *   "details of the find"
    *   Does "find" here mean the *act* of discovering the bacteria or the *thing* (the bacteria/the discovery itself)?
    *   Usually, "details of the find" refers to the specifics of what was found (the discovery/breakthrough).
    *   Looking at the previous sentence: "The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth..." This suggests the discovery itself (the result) is what's important, not the act of finding it.
    *   Comparing "productive insight/breakthrough" vs "act of discovering":
        *   Sense 1 (breakthrough/discovery as a thing) fits better when talking about the importance of the result and the details of what was found.
        *   Sense 2 (the act) is more about the process.

    *   Sense 1: discovery, breakthrough (the result).
    *   Sense 2: discovery, uncovering (the act).
    *   In "details of the find", "find" is used as a noun meaning the thing discovered.
    *   Example: "An archaeological find" (Sense 1).
    *   Example: "The find of a lifetime" (Sense 1).
    *   Example: "The find took three years" (Sense 2 - act).

    *   The context "details of the find" and "The find is important" strongly points to the result/discovery rather than the act of discovering.

    *   Sense 1: a productive insight / discovery / breakthrough.
    *   Sense 2: the act of discovering something.
    *   The bacteria discovery is a "breakthrough" or a "discovery" (the thing found).

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "a productive insight". Is a bacterium a "productive insight"? Maybe not literally, but "discovery" and "breakthrough" are synonyms.
    *   Let me re-read Sense 2: "the act of discovering something".
    *   If I say "details of the find", am I talking about the act of finding it or the thing found? Usually the thing found.
    *   Let's check WordNet's typical usage for `find` (noun).
        *   `find%1:04:00` (act of discovering)
        *   `find%1:09:00` (something found) -> "a productive insight" is a bit narrow, but the synonyms "discovery, breakthrough" fit.

    *   Actually, looking at WordNet (via other sources), `find%1:09:00` is often "something found" or "a discovery".
    *   Let's re-evaluate: "details of the find". The "find" is the bacteria/the fact that it can use arsenic. This is a discovery/breakthrough.

    *   Sense 1: discovery, breakthrough.
    *   Sense 2: act of discovering.
    *   "The find is important" -> The discovery is important.
    *   "details of the find" -> details of the discovery.
    *   This is the result, not the act.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

*   Target word: "speculation"
    *   Context: "...the announcement of a news conference to discuss it... generated widespread <t>speculation</t> on the Internet that the report would disclose the discovery of extraterrestrial life."
    *   Meaning: People were guessing or forming hypotheses about the content of the report based on incomplete information.

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence" (Synonyms: guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise, surmisal, hypothesis).
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)" (Synonyms: conjecture; Example: "speculations about the outcome of the election").
    *   Sense 3: "an investment that is very risky but could yield great profits" (Synonyms: venture).
    *   Sense 4: "continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature" (Synonyms: meditation).

    *   Sense 3 (investment) and Sense 4 (deep meditation) are clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 1 refers to "a message expressing an opinion".
    *   Sense 2 refers to "a hypothesis that has been formed".

    *   The context says "generated widespread speculation on the Internet that the report would disclose...".
    *   Is it the *messages* (Sense 1) or the *hypotheses/act of conjecturing* (Sense 2)?
    *   "Widespread speculation" usually refers to the general state of conjecturing or the conjectures themselves, rather than individual messages.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 ("a message") and Sense 2 ("a hypothesis"), Sense 2 is a broader and more standard fit for "widespread speculation". The example "speculations about the outcome of the election" is very similar to "speculation... that the report would disclose the discovery of extraterrestrial life".

    *   Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion..." (Too narrow, focuses on the medium/message).
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing..." (Fits the general act and the resulting ideas).

    *   The context "generated widespread speculation" aligns perfectly with Sense 2's definition and example.

Target lemma: report
Target surface form: report
Context:
Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. But the researchers found that the bacteria, discovered in Mono Lake, Calif., is able to continue to grow after substituting arsenic for phosphorus. "It makes you wonder what else is possible," said Ariel D. Anbar of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report. The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like, Anbar said. The study focuses on a microbe found on Earth. However, the announcement of a news conference to discuss it, which did not disclose details of the find, generated widespread speculation on the Internet that the <t>report</t> would disclose the discovery of extraterrestrial life. It didn't.

    *   The "report" in question is the result of scientific research (the "find" regarding bacteria substituting arsenic for phosphorus).
    *   Sense 1 specifically refers to a "written document describing the findings of some individual or group" and lists "study" as a synonym.
    *   Sense 3 refers to a "short account of the news" (like a news story).
    *   The text says "co-author of the report" and "the report would disclose the discovery". In a scientific context, the "report" is the formal document/paper detailing the research findings.

    *   Sense 1: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" (synonyms: study, written report). This fits perfectly with "co-author of the report" and the context of scientific research findings.
    *   Sense 3: "a short account of the news". While a news conference is mentioned, the "report" being discussed is the source of the findings (the scientific paper/study), not the news story *about* the findings.

    *   The "report" is the scientific document authored by the researchers.
    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.
