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

Sentence: 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 <t>patients</t> with locally advanced or metastatic disease who had received chemotherapy in the past.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
2. definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "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."

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly (Focuses on the *role* or *type* of person.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause (Focuses on the *semantic role* in the specific context of the sentence.)

4.  **Determine the Contextual Usage of "patients":**
    *   The sentence describes a study involving 571 individuals.
    *   These individuals have a specific condition ("locally advanced or metastatic disease").
    *   They received a specific treatment ("chemotherapy").
    *   In this context, "patients" refers to the people who are receiving the treatment/study and are affected by the disease.

5.  **Match the Usage to the Senses:**
    *   *Is it Sense 1 (Definition)?* Yes, "patient" fundamentally means a person who requires medical care.
    *   *Is it Sense 2 (Semantic Role)?* Yes, in the clause "involving 571 patients," the patients are the entities *affected by* the study/disease and *involved in* the comparison. They are the recipients of the action/condition described.

6.  **Refine the Distinction (Standard Semantic Role Labeling):**
    *   Sense 1 is the dictionary definition/type.
    *   Sense 2 is the specific function/role within the sentence structure.

    In many linguistic analyses, when a noun is used in a specific context (like "patients in a study"), it fulfills both the definition and the semantic role. However, the prompt asks which *sense* is used.

    *   The core meaning is "a person who requires medical care" (Sense 1).
    *   The function in the sentence is "the entity affected by the study/disease" (Sense 2).

    Since the sentence is about a medical study and the individuals are defined by their medical status and involvement in the study, both senses are relevant. However, Sense 2 is often the more precise answer when distinguishing between general definition and contextual function.

    Let's re-read the definitions provided:
    *   Sense 1: definition=a person who requires medical care
    *   Sense 2: definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause

    The word "patients" is used here to denote the specific group of people who are the subjects of the study and who are affected by the disease. This aligns perfectly with the definition of a semantic role (Sense 2).

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage is focused on the role of the entity in the clause (being affected by the disease/study), which corresponds to Sense 2.

    *   The sentence is discussing when the chemotherapy was received. It refers to a general time period or history of events (the time when the study took place or when the patients received treatment).
    *   The structure "received chemotherapy in the past" refers to a general time frame or history, not necessarily a specific, secret period of a person's life (Sense 2), nor is it defining a grammatical tense (Sense 3), although it uses past tense verbs.
    *   It is most closely aligned with the concept of elapsed time or history.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 (the time that has elapsed) is the best fit for the usage of "in the past" when referring to a general historical period or time frame.

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

Sentence: Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study <t>involving</t> 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past.

Senses:
1. definition=connect closely and often incriminatingly | examples=This new ruling affects your business
2. definition=engage as a participant | examples=Don't involve me in your family affairs!
3. definition=have as a necessary feature | examples=This decision involves many changes
4. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
5. definition=contain as a part | examples=Dinner at Joe's always involves at least six courses
6. definition=occupy or engage the interest of | examples=His story completely involved me during the entire afternoon
7. definition=make complex or intricate or complicated | examples=The situation was rather involved

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "involve" (marked with <t>involving</t>) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Examine the Sentence:** "Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study <t>involving</t> 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past."

3.  **Analyze the Context of the Target Word ("involving"):** The word modifies "study." The study is characterized by the fact that it included/concerned/had/participated 1,725 patients.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=connect closely and often incriminatingly | examples=This new ruling affects your business** (Does not fit. The study doesn't necessarily imply incrimination.)
    *   **2. definition=engage as a participant | examples=Don't involve me in your family affairs!** (Does not fit. The study didn't engage the speaker as a participant.)
    *   **3. definition=have as a necessary feature | examples=This decision involves many changes** (Possible, but usually implies necessity/requirement. The study *had* patients, but the primary meaning here is inclusion.)
    *   **4. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did** (Does not fit. The study didn't require something.)
    *   **5. definition=contain as a part | examples=Dinner at Joe's always involves at least six courses** (Possible, but usually refers to physical inclusion. Here, it refers to the inclusion of subjects in a study.)
    *   **6. definition=occupy or engage the interest of | examples=His story completely involved me during the entire afternoon** (Does not fit. The study didn't occupy the speaker's interest.)
    *   **7. definition=make complex or intricate or complicated | examples=The situation was rather involved** (Does not fit. The study wasn't described as complicated.)

5.  **Re-evaluate the Core Meaning of "involving" in the Sentence:** The study *included* or *had* these patients.

6.  **Compare the Sentence Meaning to the Senses (Focusing on the most likely fit):**

    *   The structure "a study involving X patients" means the study included X patients. This aligns strongly with the idea of participation or inclusion.

    *   Let's look closely at Sense 2: definition=engage as a participant. (Example: Don't involve me in your family affairs!) While the sentence structure is passive ("study involving patients"), the underlying meaning is that the patients were engaged/participated in the study.

    *   Let's look closely at Sense 5: definition=contain as a part. (Example: Dinner always involves at least six courses.) This is a very literal sense.

    *   Let's look closely at Sense 3: definition=have as a necessary feature. (Example: This decision involves many changes.)

7.  **Conclusion based on Standard Usage:** When a study is described as "involving" a number of patients, it means those patients participated in the study. This is the definition of engaging as a participant.

8.  **Final Check:** Sense 2: definition=engage as a participant. (This is the best fit for describing the relationship between the study and the patients.)

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

Sentence: Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 <t>patients</t> who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
2. definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "patient" (<t>patients</t>) in the given sentence is being used. The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Alimta was also compared with gemcitabine (another anticancer medicine), both in combination with cisplatin, in a study involving 1,725 <t>patients</t> who had not received chemotherapy for lung cancer in the past."

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly (Focuses on the *person* receiving care, or the *count* of such people.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause (Focuses on the *role* of the entity in the action/study.)

4.  **Determine the Role of "patients" in the Sentence:**
    *   The clause is: "...in a study involving 1,725 patients who had not received chemotherapy..."
    *   The verb/action is "involving" (or the context of the study).
    *   The patients are the subjects/entities that were affected by the study/treatment/lack of treatment. They are the recipients of the study's focus.

5.  **Match the Role to the Senses:**
    *   Is it primarily a definition (a person requiring care)? Yes, but the context is a *study* involving a *number* of them.
    *   Is it primarily the semantic role (entity affected by the happening)? Yes, they are the entities involved in the study.

6.  **Refine the Distinction (Contextual Usage):**
    *   Sense 1 often deals with the noun meaning itself (a medical recipient).
    *   Sense 2 deals with the grammatical/semantic function within the specific sentence structure (the entity that is the object/affected party).

    In this specific context ("a study involving X patients"), "patients" functions as the entity that is directly involved in the study/happening. This aligns strongly with the definition of the semantic role (Sense 2).

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage here emphasizes the role of the entity in the study, not just the definition of the person. Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate fit.

    *   Sense 2: definition=a earlier period in someone's life (especially one that they have reason to keep secret) | examples=reporters dug into the candidate's past (Focuses on a specific period of a person's life.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=a verb tense that expresses actions or states in the past (Focuses on grammatical tense.)

5.  **Apply Senses to the Context:**
    *   The sentence discusses a study involving patients who *had not received* chemotherapy.
    *   The phrase is "...in the past."
    *   The context refers to a specific time period (when the study/patients were in that state).

6.  **Evaluate the Options against the Context:**
    *   *Is it Sense 1 (time that has elapsed)?* Yes, "in the past" often refers to a general historical period.
    *   *Is it Sense 2 (earlier period in someone's life)?* The context is about patients/a study, not a specific individual's secret history. (Unlikely.)
    *   *Is it Sense 3 (verb tense)?* No, "past" here is a noun referring to time, not a grammatical tense (like past perfect or simple past).

7.  **Re-evaluate the Usage of "in the past":** When used generally to describe a time period when something occurred, it aligns best with the concept of elapsed time or a historical period.

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 (the time that has elapsed) is the most appropriate definition for "in the past" in this context.

9.  **Final Check:** The request asks for only the number. (Answer: 1)

4.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**

    *   Sentence: "In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived."
    *   The word "studies" here refers to research projects or investigations.

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "a detailed critical inspection." (Fits the nature of research.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject." (Fits the process of research.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "a written document describing the findings..." (The sentence uses "studies" plural, referring to the research projects themselves, not just the documents.)

5.  **Refine the Match (Focusing on "studies" as research projects):**

    *   When we say "In all three studies," we are referring to the investigations or research projects.
    *   Sense 1 (detailed critical inspection) and Sense 2 (applying the mind to learning/understanding) are both relevant to the *process* of a study.
    *   Sense 3 (written document) refers to the *output* of a study.

    *   Let's re-read the examples provided for the senses to see if they clarify the usage.
        *   Sense 1: (No specific example given, but the definition is strong.)
        *   Sense 2: examples=mastering a second language requires a lot of work (Focuses on the application/process.)
        *   Sense 3: examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale (Focuses on the document.)

    *   The sentence is discussing the *results* or *scope* of the research projects ("the main measure of effectiveness was..."). This aligns most closely with the idea of research/inspection/application of knowledge.

    *   If we consider "study" as a research project, Sense 1 (detailed critical inspection) or Sense 2 (applying the mind to learning/understanding) are the strongest candidates.

    *   However, in academic contexts, "study" often refers to the investigation itself. Sense 1 ("a detailed critical inspection") captures the essence of what a scientific study is.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 is the most accurate definition for a research investigation.

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

Sentence: In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the <t>patients</t> survived.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
2. definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "patient" in the sentence "In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived" is being used.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived."
    *   The word in question is "patients".
    *   Context: The sentence discusses studies, effectiveness, and survival time.

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly (Focuses on a medical/care context, or a countable group of people needing care.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause (Focuses on the grammatical/semantic role of an entity in a specific event/clause.)

4.  **Apply Senses to the Target Word ("patients"):**
    *   In the sentence, "patients" refers to individuals who survived (or died) in studies. This is a medical/clinical context.

5.  **Compare Application to Senses:**
    *   *Does it fit Sense 1?* Yes. "Patients" are people who require medical care (or are studied in a medical context).
    *   *Does it fit Sense 2?* While "patients" *is* an entity involved in the happening (surviving), Sense 2 is a highly abstract grammatical definition. Sense 1 provides the concrete meaning relevant to the context of the sentence (studies, survival).

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage of "patients" here is grounded in the meaning of people who receive medical care or are subjects of medical study. This aligns with Sense 1.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number. (1)

4. definition=live longer than | examples=She outlived her husband by many years

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "survive" is used in the sentence: "In all three studies, the main measure of effectiveness was how long the patients survived."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "how long the patients survived." This refers to the duration of life or existence after an event (implied hardship/illness).

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=continue to live through hardship or adversity | examples=We went without water and food for 3 days (Focuses on enduring/continuing life despite difficulty.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.) | examples=He survived the cancer against all odds (Focuses on continuing to exist after a specific threat/adversity.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=support oneself | examples=he could barely exist on such a low wage (Focuses on self-sufficiency/subsistence.)
    *   Sense 4: definition=live longer than | examples=She outlived her husband by many years (Focuses on duration/outliving others.)

4.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence asks about "how long" the patients survived. This emphasizes duration and continuing existence through a difficult period (implied by the context of "studies" and "patients").

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "continue to live through hardship or adversity." (Fits well.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)." (Fits well, especially in a medical context.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "support oneself." (Does not fit the context of patient survival duration.)
    *   *Check Sense 4:* "live longer than." (While related, the focus is on the *process* of surviving, not just the comparison of length.)

5.  **Refine the Choice (1 vs. 2):**
    *   The context is medical/experimental ("studies," "patients").
    *   Sense 2 ("continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)") is a very strong fit for medical survival.
    *   Sense 1 ("continue to live through hardship or adversity") is also a strong fit.

    *   Let's re-examine the examples provided:
        *   Sense 1 example: "We went without water and food for 3 days." (Focuses on enduring.)
        *   Sense 2 example: "He survived the cancer against all odds." (Focuses on continuing existence after a specific adversity.)

    *   The sentence is about the *measure of effectiveness* (how long they lasted). This aligns most closely with the concept of continuing existence after a challenge.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most precise fit for the context of patient survival in a study.

    *   Sense 3: definition=a performance to raise money for a charitable cause

4.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence asks about an *outcome* or *aid* shown during studies.
    *   Sense 1 (financial assistance) doesn't fit the context of "studies" unless the studies were about poverty relief, which is unlikely in a general context.
    *   Sense 2 (something that aids or promotes well-being) fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 3 (performance to raise money) doesn't fit the context of "studies" unless the studies were a fundraising event.

5.  **Conclusion:** The sentence uses the sense of "something that aids or promotes well-being." This corresponds to sense number 2.

6.  **Final Output Check:** The request asks for only the number. (2)

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

Sentence: Alimta <t>increased</t> the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Senses:
1. definition=become bigger or greater in amount | examples=The amount of work increased
2. definition=make bigger or more | examples=The boss finally increased her salary

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "increase" (marked with `<t>increased</t>`) is used in the sentence. The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma."

3.  **Analyze the Word/Context:** The word is "increased." It is used in the context of "survival time."

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=become bigger or greater in amount | examples=The amount of work increased (Focuses on quantity/amount).
    *   Sense 2: definition=make bigger or more | examples=The boss finally increased her salary (Focuses on making something larger/more intense).

5.  **Apply Senses to the Sentence:**
    *   The sentence states that Alimta made the *survival time* (a duration/measure) bigger or longer.
    *   If we use Sense 1 (amount/quantity): "The amount of survival time increased." (Plausible, but usually, we talk about the duration itself being extended.)
    *   If we use Sense 2 (make bigger/more): "Alimta made the survival time longer/greater." (This fits the context of extending a medical outcome.)

6.  **Re-evaluate the Examples:**
    *   Sense 1 example: "The amount of work increased." (Focuses on the quantity of work.)
    *   Sense 2 example: "The boss finally increased her salary." (Focuses on making the salary a larger number.)

7.  **Determine the Best Fit:** In the context of medical research (survival time), "increasing the survival time" means extending the duration. This aligns more closely with the idea of "making bigger or more" (Sense 2), rather than just changing the numerical quantity of the time itself (Sense 1).

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most appropriate fit.

    *   4. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go (Focus: moment/opportunity) -> *Does not fit "survival time."*
    *   5. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past (Focus: philosophical/experiential flow of time) -> *Too abstract for a medical context.*
    *   6. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears (Focus: personal experience) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   7. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock | examples=do you know what time it is? (Focus: clock reading) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   8. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event (Focus: physics/spacetime) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   9. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration (Focus: rhythm/measurement) -> *Could apply, but less direct than duration.*
    *   10. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months (Focus: specific, defined period, often legal/punitive) -> *Does not fit.*

4.  **Re-evaluate the Best Fit (Focusing on Duration/Period):**

    *   The phrase "survival time" is a measure of duration.
    *   Sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something." (This emphasizes duration/period.)
    *   Sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)." (This emphasizes duration.)

    *   In the context of medical research ("increased the survival time"), "time" refers to the duration of survival. Sense 2 is a very strong candidate as it defines time as a measurable period/resource.

5.  **Final Check:** The sentence is about increasing the *duration* of survival. This aligns best with the concept of time as a measurable period or duration.

    *   Sense 2: definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something. (Fits the concept of a measurable duration/period.)

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

Sentence: Alimta increased the survival time of <t>patients</t> with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly
2. definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "patient" in the sentence "Alimta increased the survival time of <t>patients</t> with malignant pleural mesothelioma" is being used.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Alimta increased the survival time of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma."

3.  **Analyze the Word in Context:** The word is "patients." It is the object of the preposition "of" and is the entity whose survival time was increased.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a person who requires medical care | examples=the number of emergency patients has grown rapidly (Focuses on the *type* of person/entity).
    *   Sense 2: definition=the semantic role of an entity that is not the agent but is directly involved in or affected by the happening denoted by the verb in the clause (Focuses on the *role* of the entity in the action/event).

5.  **Apply Senses to the Sentence:**
    *   The verb is "increased."
    *   The action (increasing survival time) is done *to* the patients.
    *   The patients are the entity *affected* by the action.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   Is it Sense 1 (Definition)? The sentence uses "patients" as a group of people affected by a medical condition, which aligns with the definition.
    *   Is it Sense 2 (Semantic Role)? The patients are the entity that is directly involved in (affected by) the happening (the increase in survival time).

7.  **Refine the Distinction (Standard Semantic Roles):**
    *   In many linguistic frameworks (like PropBank or thematic roles), the entity receiving the action or being affected by the action is often categorized as the Patient (or Theme/Undergoer). Sense 2 describes this functional/semantic role.

8.  **Conclusion:** Since the sentence focuses on the *role* of the patients (they are the ones whose survival time is being discussed/changed), Sense 2 is the most precise description of how the word functions in this specific clause structure.

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   Is it used as a definition (a person requiring care)? Yes, but the context is more about their role in the study/treatment.
    *   Is it used as a semantic role (entity affected by the verb)? Yes, they are the entities affected by the action of receiving treatment and surviving.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage aligns best with Sense 2, which defines the semantic role of an entity directly involved in the happening.

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

Sentence: Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin <t>survived</t> for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone.

Senses:
1. definition=continue to live through hardship or adversity | examples=We went without water and food for 3 days
2. definition=continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.) | examples=He survived the cancer against all odds
3. definition=support oneself | examples=he could barely exist on such a low wage
4. definition=live longer than | examples=She outlived her husband by many years

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "survive" (marked by `<t>survived</t>`) is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Patients receiving Alimta and cisplatin survived for an average of 12.1 months, compared with 9.3 months in those receiving cisplatin alone."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "survived":**
    *   The context is medical treatment (patients, Alimta, cisplatin).
    *   The verb "survived" is followed by a duration ("for an average of 12.1 months").
    *   It refers to the duration of life/existence after a treatment/illness.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=continue to live through hardship or adversity | examples=We went without water and food for 3 days (Focuses on enduring a difficult period.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.) examples=He survived the cancer against all odds (Focuses on continuing to exist after a threat/illness.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=support oneself examples=he could barely exist on such a low wage (Focuses on self-sufficiency/subsistence.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=live longer than examples=She outlived her husband by many years (Focuses on duration/outlasting others.)

5.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**

    *   The sentence is discussing the length of time patients lived after treatment.
    *   Sense 2 ("continue in existence after (an adversity, etc.)") fits the medical context (surviving cancer/treatment).
    *   Sense 4 ("live longer than") is also plausible, as it measures duration, but Sense 2 is more specific to the act of enduring the condition itself.
    *   Sense 1 (enduring hardship) is too general.
    *   Sense 3 (support oneself) is irrelevant.

6.  **Refine the Choice (Sense 2 vs. Sense 4):**
    *   The sentence states *how long* they lived (12.1 months).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *act* of continuing existence after an adversity.
    *   Sense 4 focuses on the *comparison* of duration (outliving someone).
    *   In a medical context, "survived for X months" primarily means they continued to exist after the treatment/illness.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "survived" in the context of medical outcomes.

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

Sentence: 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.

Senses:
1. definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | examples=it set the norm for American homes
2. definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
3. definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "average" is used in the provided sentence. The answer should be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "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."

3.  **Determine the Context of "average":** The word "average" is used in the context of survival time (12.1 months) and comparison to another group (9.3 months). This is a statistical measure describing a typical or central value within a dataset.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a statistic describing the location of a distribution | examples=it set the norm for American homes
        *   *Relevance:* This definition aligns perfectly with using "average" to describe a statistical measure (survival time) and setting a norm.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(sports) the ratio of successful performances to opportunities
        *   *Relevance:* Not applicable. The sentence is about medical survival time, not sports performance ratios.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual | examples=he is about average in height
        *   *Relevance:* While "average" can mean "normal" (like in the example), the sentence is providing a specific numerical statistic (12.1 months) for a group, not just stating that a single patient is "about average." Sense 1 is a more precise fit for statistical data reporting.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, which defines "average" as a statistic describing the location of a distribution, is the correct sense used in the sentence.

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.
