Target lemma: possible
Target surface form: possible
Context:
A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became <t>possible</t> last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

*   Target lemma: `possible`
    *   Target surface form: `possible`
    *   Context: "...Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became <t>possible</t> last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `possible%3:00:04::` (existing in possibility / potential) - Example: "a potential problem", "possible uses of nuclear power". (Adjective modifying a noun, meaning potential).
        2.  `possible%3:00:00::` (capable of happening or existing) - Example: "a breakthrough may be possible next year", "anything is possible". (Often used as a predicate adjective or in "it is possible to...").

    *   The sentence is: "...it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   Structure: "it became possible [to find out...]"
    *   Here, "possible" describes the action of finding out. It means that the action is now *capable of happening* or *achievable* due to the isolation of the gene.

    *   Sense 1 (potential): This sense usually functions as an attributive adjective (e.g., "a possible solution", "possible side effects"). It describes something that *might* exist or happen.
    *   Sense 2 (capable of happening or existing): This sense is used when something *can* happen or is *feasible*. The construction "it is possible to [verb]" is a classic usage of this sense.

    *   The context "it became possible... to find out" fits perfectly with Sense 2 ("capable of happening or existing"). It doesn't mean "potential" in the sense of "a potential finding," but rather that the act of finding out was now feasible/achievable.

    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses genetic tests, identifying cancer-susceptible individuals, and using "genetic probes" to determine if a baby inherited a damaged gene.

    *   Sense 1: `find_out%2:31:00` - get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally (synonyms: learn, hear, get wind).
    *   Sense 2: `find_out%2:32:00` - establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study (synonyms: determine, find, ascertain).

    *   The context describes a scientific process: "isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene" and "A test using new 'genetic probes'".
    *   The goal was to determine the genetic status of the baby.
    *   This is not accidental (Sense 1).
    *   This is not trapping someone in a lie (Sense 3).
    *   It is between Sense 2 (establish after investigation/experiment/study) and Sense 4 (determine with certainty by making an inquiry or other effort).

    *   Sense 2: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study". Synonyms: determine, find, ascertain. Example: "find the product of two numbers", "physicist who found the elusive particle".
    *   Sense 4: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort". Synonyms: determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn. Example: "I want to see whether she speaks French", "See whether it works".

    *   The context involves a medical/genetic test. A test is a form of investigation or experiment.
    *   Sense 2 specifically mentions "investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
    *   Sense 4 is more general ("making an inquiry or other effort").
    *   The "isolation of the gene" and the "test using new genetic probes" strongly align with the "investigation/experiment" aspect of Sense 2.

    *   Sense 2: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study"
    *   Sense 4: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort"
    *   In the context of a genetic test to determine a medical condition, "establish after an investigation/experiment" (Sense 2) is a very precise fit. However, Sense 4 is also very close.
    *   Let's look at the examples again. Sense 2 examples are more scientific/mathematical ("product of two numbers", "elusive particle"). Sense 4 examples are more everyday ("whether she speaks French", "whether it works").
    *   The context "isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene" and "genetic probes" is highly scientific.

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   The act of using a genetic probe to see if a baby has a gene is an "investigation" or "experiment" (Sense 2).

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2 and Sense 4.
    *   Sense 2: `find_out%2:32:00`
    *   Sense 4: `find_out%2:32:01`
    *   Looking at WordNet's structure, often these subtle differences depend on whether it's a formal scientific discovery (Sense 2) or a specific piece of information about a specific case (Sense 4).
    *   "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced" is about a specific individual's status, not a general scientific discovery.
    *   However, the *method* used was a scientific test.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 4: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort".
    *   Actually, "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced" sounds more like Sense 2 because it required a specific scientific investigation (the genetic probe). But Sense 4's "determine with certainty... by making an inquiry or other effort" also fits.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms. Sense 2: determine, find, ascertain. Sense 4: determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn.
    *   The phrase "it became possible... to find out" suggests that the *capability* was established by the scientific breakthrough (isolation of the gene), and then they used that capability to determine the baby's status.
    *   Comparing "find the product of two numbers" (Sense 2) and "see whether she speaks French" (Sense 4). The genetic test is more like a calculation or experiment than just asking a question.

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   The context is: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   This is a specific application of a scientific method to a specific case.
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, Sense 2's "investigation, experiment" fits the "genetic probe" and "isolation of the gene" context better than Sense 4's "inquiry or other effort".

    *   Wait, let me double-check. Is "find out" in "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced" more like "determine" (Sense 2) or "learn" (Sense 4)?
    *   "It became possible... to find out"
    *   If the answer is a binary (yes/no, has gene/doesn't have gene), "determine" (Sense 2) is very strong.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort".
    *   Actually, Sense 2 is often used for discovering a general truth or a specific value (like the product of two numbers). Sense 4 is often used for discovering a specific fact about a person or situation.
    *   "what threat the Quinlan baby faced" is a specific fact about a person.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort". A genetic test is an "effort" to "determine with certainty".

    *   Sense 2: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study"
    *   Sense 4: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort"
    *   The "isolation of the gene" (the scientific study) made it possible to "find out" (the specific application).
    *   This makes Sense 2 (the result of the study/investigation) very appealing.
    *   But "find out what threat the baby faced" is the *result* of the test.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2 again: "find the product of two numbers", "The physicist who found the elusive particle". These are more about discovery or calculation.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 4: "I want to see whether she speaks French", "See whether it works". These are more about checking a specific condition.
    *   "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced" is checking a specific condition (whether the baby has the gene).

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   The genetic test is an "experiment" or "investigation" (Sense 2).
    *   The genetic test is also an "effort" to "determine with certainty" (Sense 4).
    *   Looking at the phrasing "it became possible... to find out", it emphasizes the *method* (the isolation of the gene) that enabled the discovery. This leans slightly towards Sense 2.
    *   However, "find out what threat the baby faced" is a very common way to use "find out" in the sense of "learn a specific fact".
    *   Let's search for "find out" in similar medical contexts. Usually, "determine" is used. Both Sense 2 and Sense 4 have "determine" as a synonym.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort".
    *   The "isolation of the gene" is the "study/investigation" that made the "finding out" possible. The "finding out" itself is the act of using the test.
    *   If the "finding out" is the act of using the test, then the test is the "investigation/experiment".
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is a very strong candidate.

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   Wait, Sense 4's definition *includes* the words "find out, learn, or determine". This is a bit circular.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 2: determine, find, ascertain.
    *   Sense 4: determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn.
    *   The context "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced" is essentially "determine whether the baby had the gene".
    *   This is a specific application of a scientific test.
    *   Let's try to see if Sense 2 is more for *general* discoveries and Sense 4 is for *specific* ones.
    *   Sense 2: "The physicist who found the elusive particle" (General discovery).
    *   Sense 4: "I want to see whether she speaks French" (Specific fact).
    *   "what threat the Quinlan baby faced" is a specific fact.

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   The "isolation of the gene" is the scientific study. The "test using new genetic probes" is the "effort" or "investigation".
    *   If the "finding out" is the result of the "test", and the "test" is an "investigation/experiment", then Sense 2 fits.
    *   If the "finding out" is just "learning a fact" through an "effort", then Sense 4 fits.
    *   Looking at the examples again: "find the product of two numbers" (Sense 2) is a specific result from a calculation. "See whether it works" (Sense 4) is a specific result from a check.
    *   A genetic test is more like a calculation/experiment (Sense 2) than a simple check (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   The phrase "it became possible... to find out" suggests that the *method* (the isolation of the gene) was the key. This points to the "investigation, experiment, survey, or study" part of Sense 2.
    *   Let's re-read: "Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   The "isolation of the gene" is the "study". The "finding out" is the "establishing" that follows.
    *   This fits Sense 2 perfectly: "establish after a... study".

    *   Sense 2: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
    *   Sense 4: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
    *   Wait, Sense 4 says "determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort". A genetic test is definitely an "effort" to "determine with certainty".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 2: determine, find, ascertain.
    *   Sense 4: determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn.
    *   Both have "determine" and "ascertain".
    *   The key difference seems to be "calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" (Sense 2) vs. "inquiry or other effort" (Sense 4).
    *   A genetic test is an investigation/experiment.
    *   Let's go with Sense 2.

    *   Wait, I just noticed something. Sense 2's example "find the product of two numbers" is very similar to "find out what threat the baby faced" in that it's a specific answer to a specific question, but it's derived from a formal process (calculation).
    *   Similarly, "find out what threat the baby faced" is a specific answer derived from a formal process (genetic testing).
    *   This strengthens the case for Sense 2.

Context:
A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what <t>threat</t> the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan <t>baby</t> faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

        1.  `baby%1:05:00`: a very young mammal (general)

        6.  `baby%1:18:00`: very young child (birth to 1 year)
        7.  `baby%1:18:04`: unborn child; human fetus

    *   The text discusses a couple (Bill and Bonnie Quinlan) and their child, Will Quinlan.
    *   The sentence is: "...it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   The following sentence refers to "little Will Quinlan".
    *   The context mentions Bonnie became pregnant in 1987.
    *   The "Quinlan baby" refers to the child born to the Quinlans (Will).
    *   Is the baby unborn (sense 7) or born (sense 6)?
    *   The text says "it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced." and "A test... showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited...".
    *   Usually, "the [Family Name] baby" refers to the infant.
    *   Let's check if it's a fetus. The text says "Bonnie became pregnant in 1987". It doesn't explicitly state if the test happened before or after birth, but "little Will Quinlan" suggests a child.
    *   Sense 6: "a very young child (birth to 1 year)".
    *   Sense 7: "an unborn child; a human fetus".
    *   Looking at the phrasing "the Quinlan baby faced", and the subsequent "little Will Quinlan", it's most likely referring to the infant/child. Even if the test was prenatal, "baby" is often used for both. However, "little Will Quinlan" usually implies a born child.
    *   Wait, let's re-read: "Bonnie became pregnant in 1987... it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   If Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 and the test happened "last January", and the text is written around that time, the baby could be an infant or a fetus.
    *   However, sense 6 (very young child) is the most standard meaning for "the [Name] baby" when referring to a child of a couple.

    *   Sense 1: Mammal (too broad).
    *   Sense 2: Slang (incorrect).
    *   Sense 3: Childish person (incorrect).
    *   Sense 4: Youngest member (incorrect).
    *   Sense 5: Project (incorrect).
    *   Sense 6: Very young child (birth to 1 year).
    *   Sense 7: Unborn child.

    Comparing 6 and 7: "little Will Quinlan" strongly suggests a born child. "The Quinlan baby" is a common way to refer to a newborn or infant.

    *   "The Quinlan baby" -> Will Quinlan.
    *   Will Quinlan is a child.
    *   Sense 6 fits best.

    *   The sentence is "find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced."
    *   The "threat" is the risk of developing retinoblastoma.
    *   To "face a threat" or "face a risk" means to be in a situation where one must deal with or is exposed to something unpleasant or dangerous.
    *   Comparing this to Sense 2: "deal with (something unpleasant) head on" (synonyms: confront, face up). While "deal with head on" implies an active response, in a broader sense, "facing a threat" means being confronted by it or being subject to it.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 6: "present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize". This doesn't fit.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2 again. "He faced the terrible consequences of his mistakes." This is very similar to "faced a threat."

    *   Sense 2: "deal with (something unpleasant) head on" / "confront".
    *   In the context of "what threat the Quinlan baby faced," the baby is the one who would have to deal with the possibility/threat of the disease.

    *   Sense 2 is the only one that fits the concept of being confronted by a negative situation (a threat/risk).

    *   A "genetic probe" is a tool used in molecular biology to detect a specific sequence of DNA (a gene).

    *   Sense 1 (inheritable/hereditary): This describes the *trait* or *disease* (e.g., "genetic disease"). A "probe" itself isn't inheritable.
    *   Sense 2 (science of genetics): This describes the *field* (e.g., "genetic research"). While the probe is used in the science of genetics, the probe itself relates more specifically to the gene.
    *   Sense 3 (origin): This refers to the origin of things (e.g., "genetic history of a text"). Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 4 (relating to a gene): This describes things that are "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene". A genetic probe is a piece of DNA used to find a specific gene. This fits best.

    *   Sense 1: "an inherited disease" (The probe is not a disease).
    *   Sense 2: "genetic research" (The probe is a tool used in research, but the probe itself is a molecular entity relating to the gene).
    *   Sense 4: "genetic code" (The probe interacts with the genetic code/gene).

    *   "Genetic probes" are molecular tools designed to bind to specific DNA sequences (genes). Therefore, they are "of or relating to... a gene".

    *   Sense 1: Hereditary.
    *   Sense 2: Science of genetics.
    *   Sense 3: Origin.
    *   Sense 4: Relating to a gene.

    The probe is a tool that targets a gene. Sense 4 is the most precise.

    *   The sentence is: "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene..."
    *   The subject is "A test using new 'genetic probes'".
    *   The object is a clause: "that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene".
    *   This is a medical test providing a result/evidence about a genetic condition.

    *   Sense 12: "provide evidence for" (synonyms: testify, bear witness, prove, evidence). Example: "The blood test showed that he was the father." This matches the context perfectly (medical test -> result).
    *   Sense 8: "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" (synonyms: prove, demonstrate). This is close, but Sense 12's example ("The blood test showed...") is almost identical in structure and meaning to the target sentence.
    *   Sense 10: "indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments". A genetic probe is a tool, but "showed that [clause]" is more about the evidence/result than a simple reading (like a thermometer).
    *   Sense 5: "give evidence of, as of records". This is for records (like a diary), not a medical test.

    *   Sense 12 is the most precise fit, especially given the example "The blood test showed that he was the father."

Context:
Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby.

    *   Sense 1: Disreputable/discredited. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: Harmed/injured/spoiled. (Correct - a mutated gene is a "spoiled" or "harmed" version of the normal gene).

    *   Sense 1: turn so as to expose the face (e.g., face a playing card) - *Incorrect*
    *   Sense 2: turn so as to face; turn the face in a certain direction (e.g., Turn and face your partner now) - *Incorrect*
    *   Sense 3: be opposite (e.g., the facing page) - *Incorrect*
    *   Sense 4: deal with (something unpleasant) head on (e.g., confront your problems; faced the terrible consequences) - *Possible, but usually implies active dealing/confronting.*

    *   Sense 9: oppose, as in hostility or a competition (e.g., confront your opponent) - *Incorrect*

    *   The sentence says: "...little Will Quinlan... faced no more risk than other children..."
    *   In this context, "faced" means to be confronted by or to be in a position where one is subject to a particular risk or situation.
    *   Looking at the candidate senses again:
        *   Sense 4: "deal with (something unpleasant) head on" / "confront". Example: "He faced the terrible consequences of his mistakes".
        *   Sense 7: "present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize". Example: "He was faced with all the evidence".

    *   Wait, let me re-examine Sense 4. "Deal with (something unpleasant) head on". Does "facing a risk" mean "dealing with a risk head on"? Not exactly. It means the risk is present for them.
    *   Let's look at Sense 7 again. "Present somebody with something". "He was faced with all the evidence". This is closer to "being presented with a situation".
    *   Actually, let's look at Sense 4 again. "He faced the terrible consequences of his mistakes". This is very similar to "faced no more risk". In both cases, the person is in a situation where they must encounter or are subject to something unpleasant.

    *   Sense 4: "deal with (something unpleasant) head on" / "confront".
    *   Sense 7: "present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize".
    *   Is there another sense? Let's re-read the list.
    *   1: expose face
    *   2: turn face
    *   3: be opposite
    *   4: deal with (something unpleasant) head on
    *   5: oriented in a certain direction
    *   6: cover surface
    *   7: present somebody with something (accuse/criticize)
    *   8: line edge of garment
    *   9: oppose (hostility/competition)

    *   "Faced no more risk" means the risk was not present for him, or he was not confronted by that risk.
    *   Comparing "faced the consequences" (Sense 4) and "faced with evidence" (Sense 7).
    *   "Faced the consequences" (Sense 4) fits the structure "faced [something unpleasant]" better than "faced with [something]".
    *   The target sentence is "faced no more risk" (Active voice: Subject + faced + Object).
    *   Sense 4: "He faced the terrible consequences" (Active voice: Subject + faced + Object).
    *   Sense 7: "He was faced with all the evidence" (Passive voice: Subject + was faced with + Object).

    *   The target sentence "faced no more risk" matches the structure and general meaning of Sense 4 ("faced the terrible consequences").

    *   Sense 4: deal with (something unpleasant) head on.
    *   Does "facing a risk" mean "dealing with it head on"? Not necessarily. It often just means "to be confronted by". However, in WordNet, "face" in the sense of "be confronted by a problem/risk" is often grouped under the "confront" sense.
    *   Let's check if "confront" (synonym for Sense 4) fits. "He confronted no more risk" (a bit awkward, but "confronted the danger" is common).
    *   Let's check Sense 7 again. "Present somebody with something". "He was faced with the risk". This is a passive construction. The target is active: "Will Quinlan... faced no more risk".

    *   Sense 4 is the best fit among the provided options, as it covers encountering or dealing with an unpleasant situation/consequence.

    *   "Risk" is used here as a mass noun (uncountable), not a count noun (you wouldn't say "three risks" in this specific context of probability/likelihood).

    *   Sense 1 is for count nouns (greater in number).
    *   Sense 2 is for mass nouns (greater in size, amount, extent, or degree).
    *   Since "risk" is used as a mass noun referring to the degree of danger/probability, Sense 2 is the correct fit.

    *   Sense 2: "comparative of `much' used with mass nouns... greater in size or amount or extent or degree". This matches "no more risk".

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `risk%1:26:00::`: a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune (synonyms: hazard, jeopardy, peril, endangerment).
        2.  `risk%1:04:00::`: a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury (synonyms: peril, danger).
        3.  `risk%1:07:02::`: the probability of becoming infected given that exposure to an infectious agent has occurred (synonyms: risk of infection).
        4.  `risk%1:07:01::`: the probability of being exposed to an infectious agent (synonyms: risk of exposure).

    *   The sentence is: "...faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."
    *   The "risk" here refers to the probability or possibility of developing a genetic cancer (retinoblastoma).
    *   It is not a "venture" (sense 2).
    *   It is not about an "infectious agent" (senses 3 and 4), as retinoblastoma is a genetic cancer, not an infectious disease.
    *   It refers to the "possibility of incurring loss or misfortune" (in this case, the misfortune of developing cancer).

    *   Sense 1: "a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune". This fits the general meaning of having a probability of developing a disease.
    *   Sense 2: "a venture undertaken...". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: "probability of becoming infected...". Not applicable (cancer is not an infection).
    *   Sense 4: "probability of being exposed to an infectious agent". Not applicable.

    *   The context describes a genetic predisposition to cancer.
    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of the "possibility of incurring loss or misfortune" (developing cancer).

    *   Sense 1: `risk%1:26:00::`
    *   Sense 2: `risk%1:04:00::`
    *   Sense 3: `risk%1:07:02::`
    *   Sense 4: `risk%1:07:01::`

Target lemma: other
Target surface form: other
Context:
Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than <t>other</t> children of developing the rare cancer. "It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan.

    *   Sense 1: `other%5:00:02:past:00` - belonging to the distant past (early, former).
    *   Sense 2: `other%3:00:00::` - not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied.
    *   Sense 3: `other%5:00:00:strange:00` - very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected.
    *   Sense 4: `other%5:00:00:past:00` - recently past.

    *   The sentence says: "...faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."
    *   Here, "other children" refers to children who are not Will Quinlan (the child already mentioned).
    *   It means children in general, excluding the specific child being discussed.

    *   Sense 1 (distant past) - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 (not the same one or ones already mentioned) - Correct. "Other children" = children other than Will.
    *   Sense 3 (strange/unusual) - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (recently past) - Incorrect.

    *   The sense "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" fits perfectly.

reasoning_content:
*   Target lemma: `child`
    *   Target surface form: `children`
    *   Context: "...little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other <t>children</t> of developing the rare cancer."

    *   Sense 1: `child%1:18:06::` - an immature childish person (behavioral/psychological).
    *   Sense 2: `child%1:18:00::` - a young person of either sex (age-based).
    *   Sense 3: `child%1:18:07::` - a member of a clan or tribe (group-based).
    *   Sense 4: `child%1:18:01::` - a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age (relationship-based).

    *   The sentence compares "little Will Quinlan" (a baby/young child) to "other children".
    *   The context is about genetic risk for a cancer that occurs in births/infancy.
    *   "Other children" here refers to other young people of the same age group/developmental stage as Will Quinlan.
    *   Is it "offspring" (Sense 4)? While Will is an offspring, the comparison "no more risk than other children" refers to the general population of young people, not specifically to other people's offspring in a relational sense.
    *   Is it "a young person" (Sense 2)? Yes, it refers to the age group.
    *   Is it "immature person" (Sense 1)? No.
    *   Is it "member of a clan" (Sense 3)? No.

    *   Sense 2: "a young person of either sex" (kid, youngster).
    *   Sense 4: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age".
    *   In the phrase "no more risk than other children", the comparison is based on age/developmental stage (young people), not on the fact that they are someone's offspring. If it meant offspring, it would be redundant because everyone is someone's offspring. The medical context (retinoblastoma, births) strongly points to the age-based definition.

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.
