Target lemma: copy
Target surface form: copy
Context:
Right now about a dozen laboratories, in the U.S., Canada and Britain, are racing to unmask other suspected tumor-suppressing genes. They have about seven candidates. Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged <t>copy</t> of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged.

    *   Sense 15: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment". Example: "A flower developed on the branch".

    *   The sentence is: "The tumor... developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged."
    *   A tumor is a physical growth/mass.
    *   Sense 10 is often used for medical conditions or symptoms ("developed abdominal pains", "developed a cough").
    *   Sense 15 is about natural growth/differentiation ("A flower developed on the branch").
    *   Sense 6 is more general ("come into existence").

    Let's look closer at Sense 10: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". If the subject is the *tumor* itself, does the tumor "come to have" a change, or does the *person* "develop a tumor"?
    Wait, the sentence says "The tumor... developed".
    If the subject is "The tumor", then "The tumor developed" means the tumor came into existence or grew.
    If the sentence were "The patient developed a tumor", Sense 10 would be perfect.
    But here, the tumor is the subject.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 6 and Sense 15.
    Sense 6: "come into existence; take on form or shape" (originate, arise, grow).
    Sense 15: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".

    A tumor "developing" is a process of abnormal growth and differentiation. Sense 15 specifically mentions "natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment". While a tumor is abnormal, the biological process is one of growth and differentiation.

    However, Sense 6 ("come into existence; take on form or shape") is also very fitting for the start of a tumor.

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 6: "A new religious movement originated in that country; a love that sprang up from friendship".
    Sense 15: "A flower developed on the branch; The country developed into a mighty superpower".

    Comparing "A flower developed on the branch" (Sense 15) to "The tumor developed" (Context), they are very similar. Both describe a biological entity growing/forming.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 10 again. "The patient developed abdominal pains". Here, "developed" means "started to experience". If the subject is the tumor, Sense 10 doesn't fit as well because the tumor isn't "experiencing" a change; it *is* the change.

    Is there a better sense?
    Sense 6: "come into existence; take on form or shape".
    Sense 15: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".

    In the context of cancer, "development" often refers to the process of carcinogenesis (the tumor developing). This is a process of growth and differentiation (albeit abnormal).

    Let's check if "develop" in "the tumor developed" is more about the *start* (Sense 6) or the *process of growth* (Sense 15).
    "The tumor... developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged."
    This suggests the *onset* or the *initiation* of the tumor.

    Let's re-read Sense 6: "come into existence; take on form or shape".
    Let's re-read Sense 15: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".

    Actually, looking at Sense 15's example "A flower developed on the branch", this is very similar to a tumor developing in the body.

    Let's double-check Sense 10 one more time. "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". If the subject is the tumor, it doesn't "come to have" a change; it *is* the growth. If the subject were "the patient", then "the patient developed a tumor" would be Sense 10.

    Between 6 and 15:
    Sense 6 is more about the *origin* (originate, arise).
    Sense 15 is more about the *process of growth/differentiation*.

    The sentence "The tumor... developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged" points to the moment of origin/initiation.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 15 again: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".
    A tumor is a result of cell differentiation and growth.

    Let's search for "tumor developed" in corpora. It often means "appeared" or "grew".
    If I have to choose between "come into existence" (6) and "grow/progress/unfold through a process of growth/differentiation" (15), Sense 15 feels more biologically precise for a tumor.

    Let's re-examine Sense 6: "come into existence; take on form or shape".
    Example: "A new religious movement originated in that country".

    Let's re-examine Sense 15: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".
    Example: "A flower developed on the branch".

    A tumor developing is much more like a flower developing (biological growth) than a religious movement developing (social origin).

    Wait, let me look at Sense 10 again. "The patient developed abdominal pains".
    If the subject is "The tumor", can it be Sense 10? "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)". No, that doesn't fit.

    So, Sense 15 seems the most appropriate for biological growth/formation.

    Wait, let me check Sense 6 again. "come into existence; take on form or shape".
    If the tumor "developed when the second copy was damaged", it means it *started* to exist.

    Let's compare:
    "The tumor developed" (it began to grow/form).
    Sense 6: "come into existence".
    Sense 15: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of... natural growth, differentiation".

    Actually, Sense 15 is a very strong fit for biological development.

    Let's think about the "two-hit theory" mentioned in the text. The theory is about how the tumor *starts*. "The tumor... developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged." This is the trigger for the tumor's existence.

    Does "developed" here mean "started to exist" (6) or "grew through a process of differentiation" (15)?
    In biological terms, the "development" of a tumor is the whole process from the first mutation to the clinical tumor.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 15 again: "A flower developed on the branch". This is a perfect parallel. A flower develops; a tumor develops. Both are biological growths.

    Let's double-check Sense 6 again: "A new religious movement originated in that country". This is more about the *start* of something non-biological.

    Therefore, Sense 15 is the best fit.

    Wait, let me just check Sense 10 one more time. "The patient developed abdominal pains".
    If the sentence was "The patient developed a tumor", it would be Sense 10.
    But the sentence is "The tumor developed".
    If "The tumor developed", it means the tumor grew or came into being.

    Let's check Sense 15 again. "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment".
    This fits the biological process of a tumor forming.

    Final check:
    Sense 6: come into existence (general)
    Sense 15: grow/evolve through natural growth/differentiation (biological/evolutionary)
    The context is biological (tumor, genes, cancer). Sense 15 is the most specific and accurate.

Target lemma: second
Target surface form: second
Context:
They have about seven candidates. Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the <t>second</t>, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory.

    *   The tumor develops when the "second, normal copy" is also damaged.
    *   In this context, "second" refers to the other of two copies (the one following the first one mentioned). This is an ordinal use.

    *   Sense 1 is specific to music/orchestra (pitch/subordination). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2 is the ordinal number meaning "coming next after the first". This fits perfectly.

    *   Crucially, it says "there was no way to **prove** Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit' theory."
    *   If it was not yet proven at the time, it fits the definition of a "tentative insight" or "concept that is not yet verified" (Sense 1) rather than a "well-substantiated explanation" or "organized system of accepted knowledge" (Sense 3).
    *   Sense 2 (belief guiding behavior) is clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1: Tentative, not yet verified, hypothesis. (Matches "proposed", "theorized", "no way to prove").
    *   Sense 3: Well-substantiated, accepted knowledge. (Contradicts "no way to prove").

    *   The context describes a hypothesis being proposed and the inability to prove it at the time. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

Target lemma: back
Target surface form: Back
Context:
There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. <t>Back</t> then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible.

    *   The sentence describes scientists using a microscope to observe chromosomes.
    *   "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes"
    *   This is a literal act of visual perception using an instrument (microscope).

    *   Sense 21: "see or watch" (usually for entertainment/shows)

    In the context "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes", the primary meaning is the ability to perceive them visually. While they are inspecting them, the word "see" here refers to the visual perception made possible by the microscope. Sense 13 is the most fundamental and accurate description of visual perception.

    *   Sense 13: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight"
    *   Example: "Can you see the bird in that tree?"
    *   Context: "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes"
    *   This fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 3: "observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect"
    *   Example: "The customs agent examined the baggage"
    *   While scientists *do* inspect, the sentence says they "could see" them (meaning they were visible), contrasting with "no way of ferreting out specific genes" (which they couldn't see/find). The focus is on visibility/perception.

    *   Sense 8: "observe as if with an eye" (Example: "The camera saw the burglary"). This is for non-human entities.

    Sense 13 is the best fit.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `pair%1:14:00`: two people considered as a unit.
        2.  `pair%1:14:01`: a set of two similar things considered as a unit.

        4.  `pair%1:23:00`: two items of the same kind.

    *   The context refers to "23 pairs of chromosomes".
    *   Chromosomes are biological structures, not people (eliminates sense 1).
    *   They are not poker cards (eliminates sense 3).
    *   We are left with sense 2 ("a set of two similar things considered as a unit") and sense 4 ("two items of the same kind").

    *   Sense 2: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" (synonym: brace).
    *   Sense 4: "two items of the same kind" (synonyms: couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke).

    *   In biology, homologous chromosomes come in pairs (one from each parent). They are similar (same genes at same loci) and are considered as a unit in the context of the genome (23 pairs in humans).
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical distinctions:
        *   `pair%1:14:01` (set of two similar things considered as a unit) often refers to things that naturally go together (like a pair of shoes, a pair of scissors - though scissors is a different sense, usually "pair of" is used for things that come in twos).
        *   `pair%1:23:00` (two items of the same kind) is a more general count of two.

    *   Wait, let's re-examine the senses provided in the prompt:
        1. `pair%1:14:00`: two people
        2. `pair%1:14:01`: a set of two similar things considered as a unit
        3. `pair%1:14:02`: poker hand
        4. `pair%1:23:00`: two items of the same kind

    *   In the phrase "23 pairs of chromosomes", we are talking about 23 sets, where each set consists of two chromosomes.
    *   Sense 2 ("a set of two similar things considered as a unit") fits the biological concept of homologous chromosomes very well.
    *   Sense 4 ("two items of the same kind") is also very close.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: brace.

    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, `pair%1:14:01` is the standard sense for "a set of two things".
    *   Let's compare "a pair of shoes" (Sense 2) vs "a pair of birds" (Sense 4).
    *   Chromosomes are homologous; they are a specific set.

    *   Let's re-read: "23 pairs of chromosomes". This is a standard biological term.
    *   Sense 2: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit".
    *   Sense 4: "two items of the same kind".

    *   If I have two apples, I have a pair (Sense 4). If I have a pair of socks, I have a set (Sense 2).
    *   Chromosomes are not just any two items of the same kind; they are specific matching pairs (homologous). This makes them a "set of two similar things considered as a unit".

    *   Sense 2: `pair%1:14:01`
    *   Sense 4: `pair%1:23:00`

    *   Wait, let me double-check the WordNet hierarchy if possible.
    *   `pair%1:14:01` is often used for things that are meant to be together.
    *   `pair%1:23:00` is often used for a simple count of two.

    *   In "23 pairs of chromosomes", the "pair" refers to the homologous relationship. They are a unit.

    *   Let's look at the options again.
    *   1: people
    *   2: set of two similar things considered as a unit
    *   3: poker
    *   4: two items of the same kind

    *   Comparing 2 and 4 again. "Two items of the same kind" (4) is very general. "A set of two similar things considered as a unit" (2) is more specific to the biological pairing of chromosomes.

    *   Actually, looking at common WSD datasets (like SemCor), "pair of chromosomes" is often mapped to the sense of "two of a kind" or "a set of two".

    *   Let's try to see if there's a more distinct difference.
    *   Sense 2: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit"
    *   Sense 4: "two items of the same kind"

    *   If you have 23 pairs, you have 46 chromosomes. Each pair is a unit. This points strongly to Sense 2.

    *   Wait, let me search for "pair of chromosomes wordnet sense".
    *   In some versions of WordNet:
        *   `pair` (n) - two of a kind (Sense 4 in this list)
        *   `pair` (n) - a set of two similar things (Sense 2 in this list)

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4: "two items of the same kind".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit".

    *   Chromosomes in a pair are homologous (similar), and they are considered as a unit (the pair).

    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 2: brace
    *   Sense 4: couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke

    *   This is tricky. Let's think about "a pair of shoes" vs "a pair of people".
    *   "A pair of shoes" = Sense 2.
    *   "A pair of people" = Sense 1.
    *   "A pair of chromosomes" = ?

    *   Chromosomes are more like shoes (they come in matching sets) than like two random people.

    *   Let's check Sense 4 again: "two items of the same kind".
    *   If I have two chromosomes of the same type, I have a pair.

    *   Let's consider the most common usage in linguistic corpora. "Pair of [plural noun]" where the noun is a biological or physical object often maps to the "set of two" sense.

    *   Sense 2: `pair%1:14:01`
    *   Sense 4: `pair%1:23:00`

    *   Looking at the provided senses again:
        2. `pair%1:14:01`: a set of two similar things considered as a unit
        4. `pair%1:23:00`: two items of the same kind

    *   The phrase "23 pairs of chromosomes" describes the organization of the genome. Each pair is a unit consisting of two homologous chromosomes. This fits "a set of two similar things considered as a unit" (Sense 2) slightly better than just "two items of the same kind" (Sense 4).

    *   Wait, let me search for "pair%1:23:00" and "pair%1:14:01".
    *   `pair%1:14:01` is often "a set of two similar things considered as a unit".
    *   `pair%1:23:00` is often "two items of the same kind".

    *   Actually, in many contexts, "pair" as in "two of a kind" is the more general sense.

    *   Let's try to find examples for `pair%1:14:01`. Examples often include "a pair of gloves", "a pair of earrings".
    *   Examples for `pair%1:23:00` often include "a pair of birds", "a pair of aces".

    *   Chromosomes are more like gloves (matching) than like birds (just two of the same species).

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the most likely.

    *   Wait, let me double-check the synonyms for Sense 4: "couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke".
    *   And Sense 2: "brace".

    *   This is very subtle. Let's look at the context again: "23 pairs of chromosomes".
    *   In biology, the term "pair" is used because they are homologous. They are a matching set.

    *   Let's re-read the definitions one more time.
    *   2: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit"
    *   4: "two items of the same kind"

    *   "A set of two similar things considered as a unit" is a very good description of homologous chromosomes.

    *   Let's double-check if there's any other possibility.
    *   Sense 1: people (No)
    *   Sense 3: poker (No)

    *   Between 2 and 4, 2 is more specific to the "matching/unit" aspect, which is key for chromosomes.

    *   Wait, I just noticed something. In some WordNet versions, `pair%1:14:01` is the sense for "a set of two similar things" and `pair%1:23:00` is "two items of the same kind".

    *   Let's think about "a pair of chromosomes" again. Is it a "set" or just "two items"?
    *   It's definitely a set. The 23 pairs make up the 46 chromosomes.

    *   Let's try Sense 2.

Target lemma: cell
Target surface form: cells
Context:
There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the <t>cells</t> that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible.
