Target lemma: study
Target surface form: studies
Context:
For the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma, Alimta has been studied in one main study in 456 patients who had not received chemotherapy for their disease before. The effects of Alimta in combination with cisplatin were compared with those of cisplatin alone. For the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, the effects of Alimta were compared with those of docetaxel (another anticancer medicine) in one study involving 571 patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease who had received chemotherapy in the past. Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past. In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the <t>studies</t>? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

    *   The context describes clinical trials (medical research) involving patients, chemotherapy, and measuring effectiveness (survival time).

    *   1: preliminary drawing (sketch) - No.
    *   2: detailed critical inspection (survey) - Possible, but usually refers to a general inspection.
    *   3: attentive consideration and meditation (cogitation) - No.
    *   4: state of deep mental absorption - No.
    *   5: composition for technique (music) - No.
    *   6: branch of knowledge (discipline) - No.
    *   7: applying the mind to learning (work) - No.
    *   8: a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (report, written report) - This fits clinical trials/research studies.
    *   9: someone who memorizes quickly - No.
    *   10: a room used for reading/writing - No.

    *   The text mentions "one main study in 456 patients", "one study involving 571 patients", and "a study involving 1,725 patients".
    *   These are clinical trials. In WordNet, a clinical trial or a research project that results in findings is typically categorized under the sense of a "written document describing the findings" or a "detailed critical inspection".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 8.
        *   Sense 2: "a detailed critical inspection" (synonym: survey).
        *   Sense 8: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" (synonyms: report, written report).
    *   In medical contexts, "a study" refers to the research project itself and the resulting report. Sense 8 ("a written document describing the findings") is the standard way WordNet represents a research study (like a scientific paper or a clinical trial report).

    *   "In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived."
    *   "What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies?"
    *   These "studies" are the clinical trials. Sense 8 is the most appropriate fit for a scientific/medical study.

    *   The context discusses medical studies on cancer treatments (Alimta, cisplatin, docetaxel, gemcitabine).
    *   The specific phrase is "survival time of patients".
    *   It refers to how long patients remained alive after treatment.

    *   Sense 1: "a state of surviving; remaining alive". This fits perfectly. "Survival time" refers to the duration of the state of remaining alive.
    *   Sense 2: "a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms...". This is about Darwinian evolution/natural selection. Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: "something that survives". This refers to an entity (e.g., a survivor or a remnant). "Survival time" is not "something that survives time".

    *   The context is clearly about the duration of life (remaining alive), which matches Sense 1.

    *   Sense 3: "Continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)". This often implies recovery or getting through a specific crisis (e.g., "survived the cancer").
    *   Sense 4: "Live longer than". This is a comparative sense (e.g., "He survived his wife"). While the sentence *compares* two groups, the verb "survived" itself is used to describe the duration of life for the patients ("survived for an average of 12.1 months"), not that they lived longer than someone else in a direct object relationship (e.g., "Patients survived the control group" - which would be incorrect grammar).

    *   Wait, let's look closer at Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    *   Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity" (synonyms: last, live, endure).
    *   Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)" (synonyms: pull through, come through, make it).
    *   In medical contexts, "survival time" or "patients survived for X months" usually refers to the period they remained alive.
    *   Sense 2's synonyms include "live".
    *   Sense 3's synonyms include "pull through" or "make it", which usually imply recovery or surviving a critical event.
    *   In the context of terminal cancer (metastatic disease), "survived for 12.1 months" doesn't mean they "pulled through" (recovered), but rather that they continued to live for that duration.

    *   Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity". Cancer is definitely a hardship/adversity.
    *   Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)". This often implies the adversity is over.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2. "These superstitions survive in the backwaters of America" (last/endure). "We went without water and food for 3 days" (endured).
    *   Actually, looking at WordNet's structure for "survive":
        *   survive (v) -> survive.n.01 (continue to live)
        *   survive.n.02 (outlive)
        *   survive.n.03 (pull through)
    *   Wait, the provided senses are:
        1. support oneself
        2. continue to live through hardship or adversity
        3. continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)
        4. live longer than

    *   If the patients "survived for 12.1 months", they continued to live despite the cancer.
    *   Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity".
    *   Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)".
    *   Usually, "survived for [time period]" maps to the general sense of continuing to live (Sense 2). Sense 3 is more like "He survived the crash" or "He survived the cancer" (meaning he is now past the danger). In this context, they didn't "survive the cancer" (they died after 12.1 months); they "survived for 12.1 months".

    *   Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity" (synonyms: last, live, endure).
    *   Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)" (synonyms: pull through, come through, make it).
    *   The phrase "survived for an average of 12.1 months" describes the duration of their life. This fits "continue to live" (Sense 2) better than "pull through" (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity".
    *   Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)".
    *   Sense 4: "live longer than".

    Let's check the examples for Sense 2: "We went without water and food for 3 days". This is about enduring a period of time.
    Let's check the examples for Sense 3: "He survived the cancer against all odds". This is about getting through the illness.

    In the target sentence: "Patients... survived for an average of 12.1 months". This is about the duration of their life during the illness.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 2 and 3 again.
    Sense 2: continue to live through hardship or adversity.
    Sense 3: continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.).

    If you survive *for* a period of time, you are continuing to live through the adversity. If you survive *the* adversity, you have come out the other side.
    The patients did not survive the cancer (they died); they survived *for* 12.1 months. Therefore, Sense 2 is the most accurate.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me double-check if "survive" in "survived for X months" is just the basic "continue to live".
    Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity"
    Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)"
    If the adversity is the cancer, and they are still in the process of it, Sense 2 fits better.

    Let's look at the synonyms again.
    Sense 2: last, live, live on, go, endure, hold up.
    Sense 3: pull through, pull round, come through, make it.

    "Patients... lived for an average of 12.1 months" (Sense 2) vs "Patients... pulled through for an average of 12.1 months" (Sense 3).
    "Lived" is much more natural here.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 2 again. "continue to live through hardship or adversity".
    Is there a simpler sense of "survive" that just means "to remain alive"?
    WordNet often has "survive" as "continue to live".
    Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity".
    Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)".

    Actually, in many medical papers, "overall survival" refers to the time from treatment until death. The verb "survive" in "patients survived for X months" is simply the act of remaining alive.

    Comparing Sense 2 and 3 again:
    Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity"
    Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)"

    If the patients are still suffering from the cancer while they are alive, they are living *through* the adversity.

    Let's check Sense 4: "live longer than".
    "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."
    The sentence *compares* the two, but the verb "survived" is not used as "outlived". It's not "Patients receiving Alimta survived those receiving cisplatin". It's "Patients... survived for 12.1 months".

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *Wait*, let me re-read Sense 2 and 3 one more time.
    Sense 2: "continue to live through hardship or adversity"
    Sense 3: "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)"
    Example for 3: "He survived the cancer against all odds".
    Example for 2: "We went without water and food for 3 days".

    In the target sentence, the patients are living *with* the cancer. They are continuing to live despite the adversity. This matches Sense 2.

    Let me double-check if "survive" in "survived for X months" could be Sense 3.
    If you "survive the cancer", you have beaten it.
    If you "survive for 12 months", you have not necessarily beaten it; you have just remained alive for that long.

    Sense 2 seems the most plausible.

    *Wait*, let me look at the synonyms for Sense 2 again: "last, live, live on, go, endure, hold up".
    "Patients... lasted for an average of 12.1 months." (Possible, though a bit cold).
    "Patients... lived for an average of 12.1 months." (Perfect).

    Let's look at Sense 3 synonyms: "pull through, pull round, come through, make it".
    "Patients... pulled through for an average of 12.1 months." (Doesn't make sense).

    Conclusion: Sense 2.

Context:
For the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, the effects of Alimta were compared with those of docetaxel (another anticancer medicine) in one study involving 571 patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease who had received chemotherapy in the past. Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past. In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an <t>average</t> of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators.

Context:
Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past. In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as <t>effective</t> as the comparators.

    *   Usage: "average survival time"

    *   Sense 1: `common:01` - lacking special distinction (ordinary people).
    *   Sense 2: `ordinary:00` - lacking exceptional quality (mediocre).

    *   The context is a medical study reporting survival times (8.3 months vs 7.9 months).
    *   "Average survival time" in a clinical trial typically refers to the mean (or sometimes median, but "average" as a general term for the statistical norm is most commonly mapped to the mean in general language, though technically it can be any measure of central tendency).

        *   Sense 3 is specifically "median".

    *   In medical literature, "average survival" usually refers to the mean survival time (though median survival is also very common). However, when the word "average" is used in a general statistical sense to describe a representative value of a group (like survival time), Sense 5 ("mean" / "statistical norm") is the standard fit for the general term "average" unless specifically identified as the median or mode.
    *   Comparing Sense 3 (median), Sense 4 (modal), and Sense 5 (mean/statistical norm):
        *   Sense 5 is the most general and common meaning of "average" when referring to a calculated value for a group.

    *   Sense 5: "approximating the statistical norm or average or expected value | synonyms=mean". This fits "average survival time" perfectly.

In patients who had received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 8.3 <t>months</t> with Alimta, compared with 7.9 months with docetaxel. In patients who had not received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 10.3 months in both groups.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `month%1:28:00::`: a time unit of approximately 30 days (duration).
        2.  `month%1:28:01::`: one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year (specific calendar month).

    *   The context refers to "average survival time" (e.g., 12.1 months, 9.3 months, 8.3 months).
    *   These are measurements of duration/time elapsed, not references to specific months on a calendar (like January or February).
    *   "12.1 months" clearly indicates a quantity of time (approximately 30 days per unit), not a calendar division.

    *   Sense 1: "a time unit of approximately 30 days" (Fits perfectly for duration/measurement).
    *   Sense 2: "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" (Does not fit; the text isn't talking about January, February, etc.).

    *   The target word "months" in "8.3 months" refers to the unit of time measurement.
    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.

Target lemma: compare
Target surface form: compared
Context:
In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived. What benefit has Alimta shown during the studies? Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone. In the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, Alimta was as effective as the comparators. In patients who had received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 8.3 months with Alimta, <t>compared</t> with 7.9 months with docetaxel. In patients who had not received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 10.3 months in both groups.

Candidate senses:

    *   Context: "In patients who had received chemotherapy in the past, the average survival time was 8.3 months with Alimta, <t>compared</t> with 7.9 months with docetaxel."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `compare%2:31:01::`: consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous (liken, equate).
        2.  `compare%2:31:00::`: examine and note the similarities or differences of.
        3.  `compare%2:32:00::`: to form the comparative or superlative form on an adjective or adverb.
        4.  `compare%2:42:00::`: be comparable.

    *   The sentence is comparing two numerical values: "8.3 months with Alimta" and "7.9 months with docetaxel".
    *   The phrase "compared with" is used here to contrast or note the difference between two sets of data.

    *   Sense 1: "consider or describe as similar, equal, or analogous" (liken). This is more about metaphors or equating things (e.g., "comparing a man to a lion"). Not the case here.
    *   Sense 2: "examine and note the similarities or differences of". This fits the act of looking at two numbers (8.3 vs 7.9) to see the difference.
    *   Sense 3: "to form the comparative or superlative form". This is a grammatical sense. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "be comparable". This usually means "to be as good as" or "to measure up to" (e.g., "This car does not compare with..."). While the context is about comparison, the usage "compared with [value]" is a standard way of presenting a contrast/difference (Sense 2).

    *   The phrase "X, compared with Y" is a very common construction used to highlight a difference or similarity between two things. This aligns with "examine and note the similarities or differences of".

    *   Sense 2 is the most accurate description of comparing two data points to show a difference.

    *   The context is clearly medical.
    *   The "patients" mentioned are people with cancer receiving chemotherapy and other treatments.
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 2 ("a person who requires medical care").
    *   Sense 1 is a linguistic term (patient role) and is completely irrelevant here.
