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

Sentence: "It turns out that studying a <t>tragic</t> but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

Senses:
1. definition=very sad; especially involving grief or death or destruction | examples=a tragic face
2. definition=of or relating to or characteristic of tragedy | examples=tragic hero

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "tragic" is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "It turns out that studying a <t>tragic</t> but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute."

3.  **Examine the Context of the Word "tragic":** The word "tragic" is modifying "tumor." The sentence is discussing a medical/scientific topic (studying a tumor to gain insights into cancer).

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=very sad; especially involving grief or death or destruction | examples=a tragic face (Focuses on emotional sadness/grief/death).
    *   Sense 2: definition=of or relating to or characteristic of tragedy | examples=tragic hero (Focuses on being characteristic of the genre/concept of tragedy).

5.  **Apply Senses to the Context:**
    *   Is the tumor itself inherently "very sad" or involving "grief or death or destruction"? (Unlikely in a scientific context, though the outcome might be sad.)
    *   Is the tumor "of or relating to or characteristic of tragedy"? (This interpretation is highly unlikely unless the tumor is being used metaphorically in a literary sense, which is not the case here.)

6.  **Re-evaluate the Usage (Crucial Step):** The sentence uses "tragic" as an adjective describing a tumor. In modern scientific/medical language, "tragic" is often used metaphorically to describe something severe, devastating, or fatal (e.g., a tragic outcome, a tragic disease).

7.  **Compare Usage to Definitions:**
    *   If the sentence meant "sad," it would be Sense 1.
    *   If the sentence meant "characteristic of tragedy," it would be Sense 2.

8.  **Determine the Best Fit (Standard Usage Check):** When applied to a physical object or condition (like a tumor or event), "tragic" usually functions as an intensifier meaning "disastrous," "fatal," or "sad/mournful." This aligns more closely with the emotional/destructive connotation (Sense 1), even if the context is scientific.

9.  **Final Check against Examples:**
    *   Sense 1 example: "a tragic face" (describes a state/appearance).
    *   Sense 2 example: "tragic hero" (describes a person/figure in a narrative).

    The tumor is being described as having a severe, sad, or destructive quality. Therefore, Sense 1 is the intended meaning.

5.  **Analyze Sense 2:**
    *   Definition: marked by an uncommon quality; especially superlative or extreme of its kind.
    *   Example: what is so rare as a day in June.
    *   *Application to Sentence:* This sense emphasizes the extreme rarity or superlative nature of the quality. While "uncommon" can imply rarity, Sense 1 focuses more on the lack of commonality or frequency.

6.  **Compare and Select the Best Fit:**
    *   The sentence uses "uncommon tumor" to mean a tumor that is not typical or frequently seen. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "not common or ordinarily encountered."

7.  **Final Check:** The context is scientific/medical, describing a specific type of tumor that is noteworthy because it is rare or unusual. Sense 1 captures this meaning best.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results <t>there</t> soon."

3.  **Analyze the Context of <t>there</t>:** The phrase is "...this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=in or at that place | examples=they have lived there for years (Focus: Location/Place)
    *   Sense 2: definition=in that matter | examples=I agree with you there (Focus: Topic/Matter/Situation)
    *   Sense 3: definition=to or toward that place; away from the speaker | examples=go there around noon! (Focus: Direction/Movement)

5.  **Apply Senses to the Sentence:**
    *   The sentence is about research showing results.
    *   "there" is modifying "results."
    *   The results will happen *somewhere* (a place, or perhaps a state/situation).
    *   If "there" means location (Sense 1), it implies the results will appear in a specific physical place.
    *   If "there" means matter/situation (Sense 2), it implies the results will happen in the context of the research/matter.
    *   If "there" means direction (Sense 3), it implies the results will move toward a place.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** In the context of research and showing results, "there" is most commonly used to indicate a future location or state where the results will manifest.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 1 (location) is a possibility, the structure "showing results there" often functions idiomatically to mean "showing results soon" or "showing results in the future/in that context." However, Sense 1 is the most literal definition provided: "in or at that place."

    *   Let's re-examine the examples:
        *   Sense 1 (Location): "they have lived there for years." (Fits the idea of a place where something happens.)
        *   Sense 2 (Matter): "I agree with you there." (Doesn't fit the sentence structure.)
        *   Sense 3 (Direction): "go there around noon!" (Doesn't fit the sentence structure.)

7.  **Conclusion:** The most straightforward interpretation of "showing results there" is that the results will appear in a specific location or state. This aligns best with Sense 1.

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

Sentence: Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma <t>discovery</t> in 1986.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something
2. definition=something that is discovered
3. definition=a productive insight
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:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "discovery" is used in the sentence: "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma <t>discovery</t> in 1986." The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986."
    *   The structure suggests that "discovery" is being used as a noun, likely referring to an event or finding.
    *   The context involves a medical condition (retinoblastoma) and a person (Dr. Dryja) making a finding.

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the act of discovering something (Action/Process)
    *   Sense 2: definition=something that is discovered (Object/Result)
    *   Sense 3: definition=a productive insight (Mental/Intellectual finding)
    *   Sense 4: definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure of documents... (Legal term)

4.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence states Dr. Dryja *made* a discovery. This implies the *act* of finding or the *finding* itself.
    *   If "discovery" is used as a noun referring to the finding (the result), Sense 2 fits.
    *   If "discovery" is used as a noun referring to the act of finding, Sense 1 fits.
    *   If "discovery" is used metaphorically for a breakthrough, Sense 3 fits.
    *   Sense 4 (legal) is irrelevant to the medical context.

5.  **Determine the Best Fit (Standard Usage):**
    *   When someone "makes a discovery," they are performing the *act* (Sense 1) or referring to the *thing* found (Sense 2).
    *   In the context of a medical professional finding a condition (retinoblastoma), "discovery" is most commonly used to mean the finding or the realization of that fact.

6.  **Re-evaluating the Options based on typical dictionary definitions:**
    *   If the sentence means "Dr. Dryja found/identified retinoblastoma," it is referring to the *thing* found. (Sense 2: something that is discovered).
    *   If the sentence means "Dr. Dryja performed the act of finding," it is referring to the *act*. (Sense 1: the act of discovering something).

7.  **Final Check:** The structure "made his [X] discovery" strongly suggests that "discovery" is the object being named.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 1 (the act) is possible, Sense 2 (the thing discovered) is the most direct noun usage when referring to the finding itself.

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most appropriate fit for "made his [thing] discovery."

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

Sentence: <t>Then</t> last spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous.

Senses:
1. definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | examples=then he left
2. definition=in that case or as a consequence | examples=if he didn't take it, then who did?
3. definition=at that time | examples=I was young then

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "then" (marked with `<t></t>`) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "<t>Then</t> last spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "Then":** The sentence starts with "Then last spring...". This structure indicates a sequence of events or a time marker indicating when the action (reporting the finding) occurred relative to other implied events.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | examples=then he left
    *   Sense 2: definition=in that case or as a consequence | examples=if he didn't take it, then who did?
    *   Sense 3: definition=at that time | examples=I was young then

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence is setting the time frame for the research finding ("last spring"). It is connecting the previous context (implied) to the subsequent event.
    *   Sense 1 (subsequently or soon afterward) fits the function of "then" as a temporal connector linking events in a sequence.
    *   Sense 2 (in that case or as a consequence) requires a conditional structure (if/then). The sentence is not conditional.
    *   Sense 3 (at that time) usually refers to a specific, often past, point in time, often used to describe a state ("I was young then"). While "last spring" is a time, "then" here functions more as a sequential marker than a simple temporal locator for a state.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit for "Then" used as a sentence connector indicating sequence.

    *   Sense 9: definition=make a discovery. (Also a strong match)

7.  **Distinguish between 8 and 9:**
    *   8: make a discovery, make a new finding
    *   9: make a discovery
    *   The sentence uses "finding" as a noun describing the result of the research. Both 8 and 9 capture the essence. Since "finding" is the result of the research (the discovery), both are plausible. However, Sense 8 explicitly uses the term "finding" and "discovery."

8.  **Final Check:** The context is scientific research leading to the identification of a gene. This is a classic example of making a discovery/finding.

    *   Sentence: researchers reported *finding* a gene...
    *   Sense 8: make a discovery, make a new finding. (Best fit)
    *   Sense 9: make a discovery. (Also fits, but 8 is more specific to the noun form "finding").

9.  **Conclusion:** Sense 8 is the most accurate fit.
