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

Context: Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two <t>major</t> pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=of greater importance or stature or rank | examples=a major artist; a major role
2. definition=greater in scope or effect | examples=a major contribution; a major improvement
3. definition=greater in number or size or amount | examples=a major portion (a majority) of the population; Ursa Major
4. definition=of the field of academic study in which one concentrates or specializes | examples=his major field was mathematics

    *   Target word: "unit"
    *   Usage: "the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co."

    *   Sense 1: Standard of measurement or exchange (e.g., dollar, bushel). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 2: Individual/group/structure as a constituent of a whole (e.g., linguistic unit, installations). -> *Possible, but usually refers to structural/functional parts.*
    *   Sense 3: An organization regarded as part of a larger social group (e.g., military unit, sports unit). -> *Very likely. A business unit/division is an organization within a larger company.*

    *   Sense 5: A single undivided natural thing (building block, e.g., nucleic acids). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 6: An assemblage of parts regarded as a single entity. -> *Incorrect.*

    *   The "Squibb unit" refers to a division or a specific organizational branch of the larger corporation "Bristol-Myers Squibb Co."
    *   Sense 3 defines it as "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group." A company/division fits this description of an organizational entity within a larger one.
    *   Sense 2 defines it as a "structural or functional constituent of a whole." While a business unit is a constituent, Sense 3 is more specific to organizations/groups.

    *   Sense 3: "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group" (Examples: offensive unit, military unit).
    *   In business contexts, a "unit" (like a strategic business unit) is a distinct organizational part of a company.

    *   Sense 2 is more general (structural/functional).
    *   Sense 3 is specifically about organizations/groups.
    *   "The Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co." is an organizational division.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Let's look at Sense 2 again: "an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole".
    Let's look at Sense 3 again: "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group".

    Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WordNet-based sense disambiguation), a business division is categorized as an organizational unit. Sense 3 mentions "organization" and "social group" (a company is a social group/organization).

    Wait, let's re-read Sense 2: "an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole".
    And Sense 3: "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group".

    Comparing "the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.":
    Is it a "structural or functional constituent" (Sense 2) or an "organization regarded as part of a larger social group" (Sense 3)?
    A business unit is definitely an organization within a larger organization.

    Let's check common dictionary definitions for "unit" in a business context.
    Merriam-Webster: "a subdivision of a larger organization" (This aligns closely with Sense 3's "organization regarded as part of a larger social group" or Sense 2's "group... regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole").

    However, Sense 3's examples (offensive unit, military unit) are specifically organizational/group-based. Sense 2's examples (installations, linguistic unit) are more structural/abstract.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

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

Context: Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer.

Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering
2. definition=something that is discovered
3. definition=a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find
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:
*   Context: A passage about genetic research into cancer (isolating genes on chromosomes 18, 5, and 3).
    *   Target word: "discoveries" (plural of "discovery").
    *   Sentence: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate." and "...turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests..."

    *   Sense 1: the act of discovering something (process/action).
    *   Sense 2: something that is discovered (the result/object).
    *   Sense 3: a productive insight (breakthrough/find).
    *   Sense 4: (law) compulsory pretrial disclosure.

    *   The text mentions researchers "finding another gene," "isolating one on chromosome 18," and reporting that a "suppressor gene may also be involved."
    *   "These discoveries" refers back to the identification of these genes and their roles in cancer.
    *   "Cascade of discoveries" refers to the series of findings/breakthroughs.

    *   Sense 1 (the act) is the process. While the process is happening, "these discoveries" refers to the *results* of that process.
    *   Sense 2 (something that is discovered) fits well. The genes found are the "discoveries."
    *   Sense 3 (a productive insight/breakthrough) also fits very well. In scientific contexts, finding a gene linked to a disease is often called a "breakthrough" or a "discovery" in the sense of a significant find.

    *   Sense 2 is very general ("something that is discovered").
    *   Sense 3 is more specific to scientific/intellectual breakthroughs ("a productive insight", "breakthrough", "find").
    *   Looking at the context: "Where these discoveries will lead...", "cascade of discoveries into predictive tests". This implies the *findings* themselves (the knowledge gained), which aligns with both 2 and 3.
    *   However, in many dictionary datasets (like WordNet), "discovery" as a "find" or "breakthrough" is often distinguished from the simple "act of discovering" or the "thing discovered."
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "something that is discovered" (e.g., "The discovery of the new land").
        *   Sense 3: "a productive insight" / "breakthrough" (e.g., "A major discovery in medicine").
    *   The context is scientific research leading to medical tests and therapies. This strongly suggests "breakthroughs" or "significant finds."

    *   Sense 1: Act of discovering. (No, it's referring to the results).
    *   Sense 2: Something discovered. (Yes, the genes/links).
    *   Sense 3: Productive insight/breakthrough. (Yes, the scientific findings).
    *   Sense 4: Legal. (No).

    *   Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WSD - Word Sense Disambiguation), if there's a distinction between "the thing found" and "the breakthrough/insight," the scientific context usually leans towards the "breakthrough/find" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "breakthrough, find".
    *   "The anticipated cascade of breakthroughs/finds into predictive tests." This sounds very natural.
    *   "The anticipated cascade of things that are discovered into predictive tests." This is also correct but less precise.

    *   Sense 2 is the most basic definition of the result.
    *   Sense 3 is the specific application to a significant finding.
    *   In the context of "gene hunters" and "predictive tests," these are significant scientific findings.

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at the phrasing "Where these discoveries will lead". This refers to the *knowledge* or the *findings*.
    Sense 2: something that is discovered.
    Sense 3: a productive insight / breakthrough.

    If I have to choose the *best* fit:
    The text describes the identification of specific genes. These are "finds" or "breakthroughs" in the field of oncology.

    Let's double-check Sense 2 again. "Something that is discovered." A gene is something that is discovered.
    Let's double-check Sense 3 again. "A productive insight." The fact that gene X causes cancer Y is a productive insight.

    Often, "discovery" in a scientific context is mapped to "breakthrough" (Sense 3).

    Wait, let's look at the provided senses again.
    1. act of discovering
    2. something that is discovered
    3. a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find

    In the sentence "Where these discoveries will lead", "discoveries" refers to the specific genes/links found. These are "finds" (Sense 3).

    Let's compare:
    "The discovery of gold" (Sense 2 - the gold itself or the fact it's there).
    "The discovery of penicillin" (Sense 3 - the breakthrough).

    The context here is the discovery of genes linked to cancer. This is a scientific breakthrough.

    Let's try to see if Sense 2 is more appropriate. "Something that is discovered."
    If the text said "The discovery of the gene was accidental," that's Sense 1 (the act).
    If the text said "The gene is a great discovery," that's Sense 2 or 3.

    Given the options, Sense 3 ("breakthrough, find") is the most descriptive of scientific advancements.

    *Wait*, let me think about this again. Is there a subtle difference?
    Sense 2: The object discovered.
    Sense 3: The insight/breakthrough.

    "Where these discoveries will lead..."
    The "discoveries" are the findings (the knowledge that gene X is on chromosome 18). This is an insight/breakthrough.

    Let's check common WSD datasets (like SemCor). Usually, "discovery" in science is categorized as the "find" or "breakthrough."

    Final check:
    Context: "turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests"
    Sense 3: "breakthrough, find" -> "turn the anticipated cascade of breakthroughs into predictive tests." (Perfect fit).
    Sense 2: "something that is discovered" -> "turn the anticipated cascade of things that are discovered into predictive tests." (A bit clunky).

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the most likely intended answer.

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

Context: Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers <t>say</t> new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes.

    *   "Some researchers say new cancer drugs... may be based on..."
    *   The researchers are stating a possibility or a hypothesis based on their findings/knowledge.
    *   Is it "express in words" (1)? Yes, but is there a more specific sense?
    *   Is it "report or maintain" (2)? "Report or maintain" often implies an allegation or a claim that might be disputed or is being formally stated.
    *   Is it "state as one's opinion or judgement" (9)? This fits well, as they are suggesting a possibility ("may be based on").
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1 vs Sense 2 vs Sense 9.
        *   Sense 1: General expression in words.
        *   Sense 2: Report or maintain (allege, aver).
        *   Sense 9: State as one's opinion or judgement.

    *   "Some researchers say [that] new cancer drugs... may be based on..."
    *   This is a common way to report scientific hypotheses or claims.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 2: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war."
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you."
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 9: "I say let's forget this whole business." (This seems more like a proposal or a strong opinion).

    *   In scientific writing, "researchers say" usually means they are reporting a finding or maintaining a position/hypothesis.
    *   Sense 2: "report or maintain". Synonyms: "allege, aver".
    *   Sense 1: "express in words". Synonyms: "state, tell".

    Let's compare "Some researchers say..." with "He said that he wanted to marry her" (Sense 1) and "He said it was too late to intervene in the war" (Sense 2).
    The "too late to intervene" example is a claim/maintenance of a position. The "wanted to marry her" example is a simple statement of fact/desire.
    "New cancer drugs... may be based on..." is a claim/hypothesis.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "report or maintain". This fits the context of researchers presenting a theory.

    Let's check Sense 1 again: "express in words". This is the most general sense.

    Let's check Sense 9 again: "state as one's opinion or judgement". "I say let's forget this whole business." This is more of a suggestion or a declaration.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
    Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her." (Simple statement)
    Sense 2: "He said it was too late to intervene in the war." (Claim/Maintenance of a position)

    "Some researchers say new cancer drugs... may be based on..." is closer to reporting a claim or maintaining a scientific position.

    However, in many dictionaries, "say" in this context is often just the basic "state" (Sense 1). Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "allege, aver". "Allege" is often used when something is not yet proven. "Aver" means to state as a fact.

    Let's re-read the context: "Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes."
    This is reporting a scientific view.

    Let's look at the options again.
    1. express in words (state, tell)
    2. report or maintain (allege, aver)

    If I say "The researchers say that X is true," am I just expressing it in words, or am I reporting/maintaining a position? Usually, it's the latter in a formal/scientific context.

    Let's double-check Sense 2's example: "He said it was too late to intervene in the war." This is a claim about a situation.
    The researchers' statement is a claim about a possibility ("may be based on").

    Is it Sense 1? "He said that he wanted to marry her." This is a direct report of a statement.
    "Some researchers say..." is also a report of a statement.

    Let's look at the difference between "state" (1) and "report/maintain" (2).
    "State" is very general. "Report or maintain" is more specific to claims.

    In many NLP datasets (like WordNet-based ones), "say" as in "researchers say" is often mapped to the sense of reporting or claiming.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "report or maintain".
    Example: "He said it was too late to intervene in the war."
    This matches the structure and intent of "Some researchers say new cancer drugs... may be based on..."

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "express in words".
    Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her."

    The researchers are not just expressing words; they are asserting a scientific possibility.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 2 again. "allege, aver".
    "Allege" = claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong, without proof.
    "Aver" = state or assert to be the case.

    "Some researchers say [assert/aver] that new cancer drugs... may be based on..."

    This seems to fit Sense 2 better than the simple "express in words" of Sense 1.

    Let's check Sense 9 again: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare".
    Example: "I say let's forget this whole business."
    This is more like "I propose" or "In my opinion".

    Comparing 1 and 2 again.
    Sense 1: state, tell.
    Sense 2: report, maintain, allege, aver.

    "Some researchers say..." is a very common way to introduce a reported claim.

    Let's think about the most likely intended answer for this type of task. Usually, the most specific sense that fits is chosen. Sense 2 is more specific than Sense 1.

    Let's try to see if "say" in "researchers say" is typically "report".
    Yes, "report" is a synonym for "say" when introducing a claim.

    Let's double-check the examples for Sense 2: "He said it was too late to intervene in the war."
    This is almost identical in function to "Some researchers say new cancer drugs... may be based on..."

    Final check:
    Sense 1: He said that he wanted to marry her. (Simple statement of fact/desire)
    Sense 2: He said it was too late to intervene in the war. (Claim/Assertion)
    Context: Some researchers say new cancer drugs... may be based on... (Claim/Assertion)

    Sense 2 seems the most appropriate.

    *   Sense 11: unfamiliar. (Example: new experiences)

    *   The "new cancer drugs" are those that would be created/discovered based on the research mentioned. This fits perfectly with "having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered."

    *   Sense 2 (novel) is close, but "new drugs" in a medical/pharmaceutical context usually refers to the fact that they are recently developed or about to be developed, rather than being "original and of a kind not seen before" in a theoretical or mathematical sense (though they are novel in a way, Sense 1 is the standard meaning for newly developed products).
    *   Sense 5 (different from previous) is possible, but Sense 1 is more precise for newly created medications.

    *   Sense 1: "having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered" -> "new cancer drugs" (drugs that will be made/discovered). This is the most accurate fit.

    *   In the sentence "drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth", the "drugs" are the agent, and "tumor growth" is the object being acted upon.
    *   The drugs are intended to *cause* the growth of the tumor to proceed more slowly.
    *   This matches Sense 3 ("cause to proceed more slowly").

    *   Sense 1 is about physical velocity (not applicable to biological growth in this sense).

    *   Sense 5: "reverse the position, order, relation, or condition of" (synonyms: invert).

    *   Sense 1 fits best. "Reverse tumor growth" means changing the trend of the growth (from growing to shrinking/stopping). This is a change to the contrary of the current trend.
    *   Sense 2 (inside out/upside down) is physical and doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3 (rule against) is legal/procedural and doesn't fit.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally <t>produced</t> by the genes."
    *   Target word: "produced"
    *   Meaning in context: The genes create or synthesize suppressor proteins.

    *   Sense 1: bring forth or yield (e.g., tree producing fruit).
    *   Sense 2: create or manufacture a man-made product (e.g., producing cars).
    *   Sense 3: cause to happen, occur or exist (e.g., procedure producing an effect).
    *   Sense 4: bring out for display (e.g., producing pictures).
    *   Sense 5: cultivate by growing (e.g., region producing wines).
    *   Sense 6: bring onto the market or release (e.g., produce a movie).
    *   Sense 7: come to have or undergo a change of (e.g., grew a beard).

    *   The context is biological: genes producing proteins.
    *   Sense 1 ("bring forth or yield") is often used for biological production (like fruit from a tree or a result from a process).
    *   Sense 2 ("create or manufacture a man-made product") is specifically for man-made products. Proteins are not man-made in this context (they are produced by genes naturally).
    *   Sense 3 ("cause to happen") is more about effects or events.
    *   Sense 4, 5, 6, 7 are clearly incorrect.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "bring forth or yield". Example: "The tree would not produce fruit". This fits the biological synthesis of a substance.
    *   Is there a better fit? Let's re-examine Sense 2. "create or manufacture a man-made product". No, proteins are natural.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3. "cause to happen, occur or exist". Not quite.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1. "bring forth or yield". In biology, genes "produce" proteins. This is a form of yielding or bringing forth a substance.

    *   Sense 1: "bring forth or yield" (Tree -> fruit).
    *   Context: "genes -> proteins".
    *   This is a very close match.

    *   Sense 1: bring forth or yield.
    *   Sense 2: man-made.
    *   Sense 3: cause to happen.
    *   Sense 4: display.
    *   Sense 5: agriculture.
    *   Sense 6: market/release.
    *   Sense 7: develop/acquire.

    The biological process of a gene creating a protein is most similar to a tree producing fruit (Sense 1).

    *Self-Correction/Double Check:* Could it be Sense 2? "create or manufacture". While proteins are "manufactured" by the cell, the definition specifies "man-made product". Proteins are not man-made. Could it be Sense 3? "cause to happen". No, the protein is a physical substance, not an event.

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Context: Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The <t>idea</t> would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has come close to doing that so far.

Senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | synonyms=thought | examples=it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | synonyms=mind | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher; the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | synonyms=estimate, estimation, approximation | examples=an estimate of what it would cost; a rough idea how long it would take
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | synonyms=theme, melodic theme, musical theme | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures; the accompanist picked up the idea and elaborated it

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The <t>idea</t> would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes."
    *   Sentence meaning: The proposed plan or intention is to give patients specific proteins to treat cancer.

    *   Sense 1: Content of cognition/thought (e.g., "it was not a good idea").
    *   Sense 2: Intention/what you intend to do (e.g., "the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces").
    *   Sense 3: Personal view/belief (e.g., "he has an idea that we don't like him").
    *   Sense 4: Approximate calculation/estimate (e.g., "a rough idea how long it would take").
    *   Sense 5: Musical theme.

    *   The sentence "The idea would be to administer..." describes a proposed plan, a goal, or a method of action.
    *   Comparing this to Sense 2: "your intention; what you intend to do" and the example "the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces." This fits well because it describes the intended approach or the goal of the proposed treatment.
    *   Comparing to Sense 1: While it is a "thought," Sense 2 is more specific to a plan or intention.
    *   Comparing to Sense 3: It's not a personal belief or opinion about someone.
    *   Comparing to Sense 4: It's not a numerical estimate.
    *   Comparing to Sense 5: It's not about music.

    *   "The idea would be to [do X]" is a common way to express a proposed plan or intention.
    *   Sense 2: "your intention; what you intend to do".

    *   The correct sense is 2.

    *   Sense 3: Administer or bestow, as in small portions (distribute, mete out). (Close, but usually refers to things like remarks or money).
    *   Sense 4: Give or apply (medications). (Fits perfectly; proteins used as therapy are medications/treatments).
    *   Sense 5: Direct the taking of (e.g., an exam or oath). (Doesn't fit).

    *   The context describes giving proteins (as a form of therapy/drug) to patients. This aligns exactly with Sense 4.

    *   Target word: "healthy"
    *   Usage: "healthy versions of the damaged genes" and "replace defective genes with healthy versions".

    *   Sense 1: having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease (e.g., a rosy healthy baby).
    *   Sense 2: financially secure and functioning well (e.g., a healthy economy).

    *   Sense 4: exercising or showing good judgment (e.g., healthy scepticism).
    *   Sense 5: large in amount or extent or degree (e.g., a healthy amount).

    *   The context contrasts "healthy versions" with "damaged genes" and "defective genes".
    *   In a biological/genetic context, a "healthy gene" is one that is not mutated or defective; it is "free from infirmity or disease" (or in this case, free from the defect causing the disease).
    *   Sense 1 refers to being free from disease or infirmity. While usually applied to a whole person, it is the most appropriate fit for a gene that is not "defective" or "damaged".
    *   Sense 2 (financial), Sense 3 (promoting health/diet), Sense 4 (judgment), and Sense 5 (amount) are clearly incorrect.

    *   Does "healthy" in "healthy versions of the damaged genes" mean "free from infirmity or disease"? Yes, in the sense that the gene itself is not diseased/mutated.

    *   Sense 1: "substitute a person or thing for (another that is broken or inefficient or lost or no longer working or yielding what is expected)"
        *   Example: "He replaced the old razor blade."
        *   Analysis: This fits well. A defective gene is "broken" or "no longer working," and a healthy version is being substituted for it.

    *   Sense 2: "take the place or move into the position of" (supplant, supersede)
        *   Example: "Smith replaced Miller as CEO."
        *   Analysis: This usually refers to a person taking over a role or a technology making another obsolete. While a healthy gene takes the place of a defective one, the nuance here is more about fixing/substituting a broken part.

    *   Sense 3: "put something back where it belongs" (put back)
        *   Example: "replace the book on the shelf."
        *   Analysis: Definitely not this.

        *   Example: "the con artist replaced the original with a fake Rembrandt."
        *   Analysis: This often implies a switch or an exchange of similar items, sometimes deceptively. While "substitute" is used, Sense 1 specifically mentions "broken or inefficient," which fits "defective genes" perfectly.

    *   Sense 1 specifically mentions replacing something "broken or inefficient or no longer working." A "defective gene" fits this description perfectly.
    *   Sense 4 is more about switching equivalents.
    *   Sense 2 is more about succession or obsolescence.

    The context "replace defective genes with healthy versions" aligns most closely with Sense 1 (substituting something broken/inefficient).

    *   This aligns with the idea of being "free from infirmity or disease" or functioning normally/correctly in a biological sense.
    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate because it refers to the biological state of being free from disease or defect.

    *   Sense 2 (financial) - No.
    *   Sense 3 (promoting health) - No, the genes themselves aren't "promoting health" in the way a diet does; they are the non-diseased version.
    *   Sense 4 (judgment) - No.
    *   Sense 5 (amount) - No.

    *   Sense 1 fits best.

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

Context: Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy <t>versions</t>, though no one has come close to doing that so far. In any case, says Dr. Minna of the National Cancer Institute, "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=an interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint | examples=his version of the fight was different from mine
2. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | synonyms=variant, variation, edition | examples=an experimental version of the night fighter; a variant of the same word
3. definition=a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form | synonyms=adaptation | examples=the play is an adaptation of a short novel
4. definition=a written communication in a second language having the same meaning as the written communication in a first language | synonyms=translation, interlingual rendition, rendering
5. definition=a mental representation of the meaning or significance of something | synonyms=interpretation, reading
6. definition=manual turning of a fetus in the uterus (usually to aid delivery)

*   Context: "The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy <t>versions</t>, though no one has come close to doing that so far."
    *   Target word: "versions" (plural of "version").
    *   Contextual meaning: The text discusses replacing "defective genes" with "healthy versions." In genetics, a "version" of a gene refers to a variant or a specific form of that gene (allele).

    *   Sense 1: Interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint (e.g., "his version of the fight"). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 2: Something a little different from others of the same type (synonyms: variant, variation, edition). -> *Matches.* A healthy gene is a variant/variation of the defective gene.
    *   Sense 3: A written work recast in a new form (synonym: adaptation). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 4: A written communication in a second language (synonym: translation). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 5: A mental representation of meaning (synonym: interpretation). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 6: Manual turning of a fetus in the uterus. -> *Incorrect.*

    *   The context refers to "healthy versions" of genes compared to "defective genes." This fits the definition of "something a little different from others of the same type" or a "variant."
