Context:
It didn't. 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 <t>levels</t>. Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar, so she speculated that a microbe exposed to both might be able to substitute one for the other.

    *   Sense 1 specifically mentions "a position on a scale of intensity or **amount** or quality."
    *   Sense 3 mentions "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series," which is close, but "amount" in Sense 1 is a more direct fit for chemical concentrations.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" (e.g., "high level of care").
        *   Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" (e.g., "at what stage are the social sciences?").
    *   "Arsenic levels" refers to the quantity/concentration, which fits "amount" in Sense 1 perfectly.

Target lemma: element
Target surface form: elements
Context:
"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. 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 <t>elements</t> 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.

*   Target word: "possibility"
    *   Context: "...showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the <t>possibility</t> that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common."
    *   Meaning: The discovery suggests that it is *possible* (capable of happening/being true) that arsenic-based life exists.

    *   Sense 1: "a future prospect or potential" (e.g., "this room has great possibilities"). This usually refers to potential for development or improvement.
    *   Sense 2: "capability of existing or happening or being true" (synonym: possibleness; example: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired"). This fits the context of something being potentially true or possible.
    *   Sense 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" (synonyms: hypothesis, theory). This is a more specialized scientific meaning.
    *   Sense 4: "a possible alternative" (synonyms: possible action, opening; example: "bankruptcy is always a possibility"). This refers to a choice or a specific option.

    *   The sentence says "raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally".
    *   This is essentially saying "raises the *possibleness*" or "suggests it is *possible* that...".
    *   Does it fit Sense 3 (hypothesis/theory)? While the overall context is scientific, the word "possibility" here is used to describe the *chance* or *capability* of it happening, rather than the formal hypothesis itself. "Raises the possibility that [clause]" is a standard construction for Sense 2.
    *   Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 3 again.
        *   Sense 2: "capability of existing or happening or being true" -> "raises the possibility [the capability of happening] that a life form... could occur naturally".
        *   Sense 3: "a tentative insight... a concept that is not yet verified" -> "raises the possibility [the hypothesis] that a life form... could occur naturally".
    *   Usually, "the possibility that [clause]" maps to the state of being possible (Sense 2). If it were "the possibility of arsenic-based life", it might lean toward Sense 3 or 4, but "the possibility that [clause]" strongly points to the likelihood or capability of the event described in the clause.

    *   Sense 2: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired" (Structure: possibility + that-clause).
    *   Context: "raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally" (Structure: possibility + that-clause).
    *   The structures are identical.

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: Yes.
    *   Sense 3: No, "possibility" here isn't being used as a synonym for "hypothesis" in the sense of a formal proposal, but rather the state of being possible.
    *   Sense 4: No.

"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 sentence is: "the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new".
    *   Here, "idea" refers to a hypothesis, a concept, or a theoretical proposition.
    *   Let's evaluate the senses:
        *   Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about". This fits well. A hypothesis is a content of cognition.
        *   Sense 2: "your intention". Not an intention.
        *   Sense 3: "a personal view". While it's a view, "idea" in the context of scientific hypotheses usually aligns more with a concept or a thought (Sense 1) than a subjective "personal view" (like "he has an idea that we don't like him").
        *   Sense 4: "approximate calculation". Not a calculation.
        *   Sense 5: "melodic subject". Not music.

    *   Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about". Example: "it was not a good idea".
    *   Sense 3: "a personal view". Example: "he has an idea that we don't like him".
    *   In the context "the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus", it's a scientific concept or hypothesis. This is a "thought" or "content of cognition" (Sense 1). Sense 3 is more about a belief or a suspicion (often mistaken).

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and fits the notion of a scientific concept/hypothesis.

    *   Wait, let me double-check if "idea" as a hypothesis fits Sense 1 better than Sense 3.
    *   Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about".
    *   Sense 3: "a personal view".
    *   "The idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus" is a theoretical proposition. This is a "thought" (Sense 1).

    *   Let's look at other WordNet versions or similar examples. Often, "idea" as a hypothesis is mapped to the most general sense of "thought" or "concept".
    *   Comparing "the idea that [proposition]":
        *   "The idea that the earth is flat" (Sense 1 or 3?)
        *   "The idea that we can travel to Mars" (Sense 1)
    *   Sense 3 ("a personal view") usually implies a belief that might be incorrect or a subjective feeling.
    *   Sense 1 ("the content of cognition") is broader and covers concepts and hypotheses.

    *   Sense 1: content of cognition / thought.
    *   Sense 3: personal view.
    *   The context is a scientific discussion about a possibility ("the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new"). This is a conceptual proposition. Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
*   Target lemma: "phosphorus"
    *   Target surface form: "phosphorus"
    *   Context: The text discusses the chemical behavior of arsenic compared to phosphorus, their roles in biochemical machinery, bacteria (GFAJ-1), and the possibility of life forms using arsenic instead of phosphorus.
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `phosphorus%1:27:00::`: A multivalent nonmetallic element (chemical element P, atomic number 15).
        2.  `phosphorus%1:17:00::`: A planet (usually Venus) seen before sunrise (morning star).

    *   The context mentions "chemical behavior", "elements", "biochemical machinery", "microbiology", and "atomic number 15" (implied by the chemical context).
    *   This clearly refers to the chemical element, not the astronomical object (Venus).

    *   Sense 1: Chemical element.
    *   Sense 2: Morning star/Venus.
    *   The correct sense is 1.

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." "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 arsenic 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 <t>example</t> where it was shown to work. Arsenic was more common in the early times on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it.

Candidate senses:

2. sense_key=example%1:09:02:: | definition=a representative form or pattern | synonyms=model | examples=I profited from his example
3. sense_key=example%1:09:01:: | definition=something to be imitated | synonyms=exemplar, model, good example | examples=an exemplar of success; a model of clarity
4. sense_key=example%1:10:00:: | definition=punishment intended as a warning to others | synonyms=deterrent example, lesson, object lesson | examples=they decided to make an example of him
5. sense_key=example%1:11:00:: | definition=an occurrence of something | synonyms=case, instance | examples=it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday
6. sense_key=example%1:04:00:: | definition=a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding | synonyms=exercise | examples=you must work the examples at the end of each chapter in the textbook

*   Target lemma: "example"
    *   Context: "...Jamie S. Foster... said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been <t>example</t> where it was shown to work."
    *   Meaning: In this context, "example" refers to a specific case or occurrence where the substitution of arsenic for phosphorus was actually demonstrated to work.

    *   Sense 1: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group" (illustration, instance, representative).
    *   Sense 2: "a representative form or pattern" (model).
    *   Sense 3: "something to be imitated" (exemplar, model).
    *   Sense 4: "punishment intended as a warning to others" (deterrent).
    *   Sense 5: "an occurrence of something" (case, instance).
    *   Sense 6: "a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding" (exercise).

    *   The sentence says "there has never been [an] example where it was shown to work."
    *   This means there has never been a *case* or an *instance* of this happening.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 5:
        *   Sense 1 is more about an illustration of a general rule or a typical member of a class.
        *   Sense 5 is about a specific occurrence or case.
    *   "There has never been an example where it was shown to work" is synonymous with "There has never been a case where it was shown to work" or "There has never been an instance where it was shown to work."

    *   Sense 5: "an occurrence of something" (synonyms: case, instance). This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 1: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group". While "instance" is listed as a synonym here too, the primary definition of Sense 1 is about typicality/illustration. Sense 5 is more about the mere occurrence of the event.

    *   "there has never been [an] example where it was shown to work" -> "there has never been a case where it was shown to work."
    *   This is a statement about the existence of an occurrence, not about providing a typical illustration of a class.

    *   Sense 5 is the best fit.
