    *   **Sense 1:** definition=occurring among members of a family usually by heredity | examples=an inherited disease. (Focuses on inheritance/family traits.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=of or relating to or produced by or being a gene | examples=genic combinations. (Focuses on genes/genes/gene products.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=pertaining to or referring to origin | examples=genetic history reconstructs the origins of a literary work. (Focuses on origin/source.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=of or relating to the science of genetics | examples=genetic research. (Focuses on the field of study.)

6.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The sentence is talking about "genetic deletions." Deletions are changes in DNA/genes.
    *   Sense 2 ("of or relating to or produced by or being a gene") fits perfectly when describing a type of deletion.
    *   Sense 3 (origin) is less relevant than the structure/source (gene).
    *   Sense 4 (science) is not relevant.
    *   Sense 1 (heredity/family) is related but Sense 2 is more precise when discussing molecular events like deletions.

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage refers to something related to genes. This corresponds to Sense 2.

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "They began uncovering a confusing variety of genetic deletions, some existing only in benign polyps, others in malignant cells and many in both <t>polyps</t> and malignant cells."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Context:** The word is "polyps". It appears in the phrase "in both polyps and malignant cells."

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a small vascular growth on the surface of a mucous membrane
    *   Sense 2: definition=one of two forms that coelenterates take (e.g. a hydra or coral): usually sedentary with a hollow cylindrical body usually with a ring of tentacles around the mouth | examples=in some species of coelenterate, polyps are a phase in the life cycle that alternates with a medusoid phase

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence discusses "benign polyps," "malignant cells," and "polyps" in a context related to biological/genetic deletions and cell types.
    *   Sense 1 (small vascular growth on a mucous membrane) is a biological definition.
    *   Sense 2 (forms taken by coelenterates, phase in the life cycle) is also a biological definition.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit (Crucial Step):** The sentence is discussing genetic deletions and malignant cells. While Sense 1 is a valid definition, Sense 2 is highly specific to a particular group of organisms (coelenterates) and their life cycle.

    *   *Re-evaluating the sentence:* "many in both polyps and malignant cells." This phrasing suggests that "polyps" here might be used in a broader, perhaps pathological or cellular context, rather than strictly the coelenterate definition.

    *   *However, the task is to identify which sense is used.* Since the provided senses are the only options, I must choose the one that applies. Both senses are biological definitions.

    *   Let's look at the structure: "benign polyps" and "malignant cells." This strongly suggests a pathological context (Sense 1).

    *   Let's look at the options again.
        *   Sense 1: a small vascular growth on the surface of a mucous membrane. (Fits pathology/tissue context).
        *   Sense 2: forms taken by coelenterates. (Fits zoology/life cycle context).

    *   Since the sentence is discussing genetic deletions and malignant cells (pathology), Sense 1 is the most contextually relevant definition for a general biological term like "polyps" in a medical/genetic discussion.

7.  **Final Check:** The sentence is about genetic deletions and malignant cells. Sense 1 defines a physical structure (a growth). Sense 2 defines a life cycle phase of a specific animal group. Sense 1 is the better fit for the context provided.

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is used.

2. definition=capable of thinking and expressing yourself in a clear and consistent manner | examples=a lucid thinker
3. definition=(physics) of waves having a constant phase relation
4. definition=sticking together | examples=two coherent sheets

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "coherent" is used in the sentence: "Gradually, a coherent picture of cancer development emerged."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "a coherent picture of cancer development emerged."
    *   "Picture" implies a whole, a unified representation.
    *   "Coherent" modifies "picture." This suggests the picture is logically connected, orderly, and consistent.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=marked by an orderly, logical, and aesthetically consistent relation of parts | examples=a coherent argument
        *   *Check against sentence:* A "picture" (a collection of parts) being "orderly, logical, and aesthetically consistent" fits this definition perfectly.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=capable of thinking and expressing yourself in a clear and consistent manner | examples=a lucid thinker
        *   *Check against sentence:* This applies to a person (thinker/speaker), not a picture or a development. (Incorrect)

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(physics) of waves having a constant phase relation
        *   *Check against sentence:* This is a technical/scientific definition, irrelevant to a "picture of cancer development." (Incorrect)

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=sticking together | examples=two coherent sheets
        *   *Check against sentence:* While related to connection, "sticking together" is too literal. Sense 1 (orderly, logical consistency) is a much stronger fit for describing a complex concept like a "picture."

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate meaning for "coherent picture."

5.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Gradually, a coherent picture of cancer development emerged."
    *   The context is about "cancer development."
    *   The word "picture" is used in the phrase "a coherent picture of [something]."
    *   This implies a mental concept, an understanding, or a visualization, not necessarily a physical painting or a TV image.

3.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a visual representation (of an object or scene or person or abstraction) produced on a surface | examples=they showed us the pictures of their wedding** (Physical visual representation/photograph/drawing). *Possible, but usually implies a physical object.*
    *   **2. definition=graphic art consisting of an artistic composition made by applying paints to a surface | examples=a small painting by Picasso** (Art/Painting). *Unlikely in a medical/development context.*
    *   **3. definition=a clear and telling mental image | examples=he described his mental picture of his assailant** (Mental image/Concept). *Highly relevant.*
    *   **4. definition=a situation treated as an observable object | examples=the political picture is favorable** (Situation/Viewpoint). *Possible, but less common than mental image here.*
    *   **5. definition=illustrations used to decorate or explain a text | examples=the dictionary had many pictures** (Diagrams/Illustrations). *Unlikely.*
    *   **6. definition=a form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement | examples=they went to a movie every Saturday night** (Film/Movie). *Unlikely.*
    *   **7. definition=the visible part of a television transmission | examples=they could still receive the sound but the picture was gone** (TV image). *Unlikely.*
    *   **8. definition=a graphic or vivid verbal description | examples=too often the narrative was interrupted by long word pictures** (Verbal description). *The sentence uses "picture" as a noun describing the development, not a description itself.*
    *   **9. definition=a typical example of some state or quality | examples=the very picture of a modern general** (Typical example/Stereotype). *Possible, but doesn't fit the context of "development."*
    *   **10. definition=a representation of a person or scene in the form of a print or transparent slide; recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material** (Photograph/Print). *Possible, but again, usually implies a physical object.*

4.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "a coherent picture of cancer development" refers to a conceptual understanding or visualization of the process. Sense 3 ("a clear and telling mental image") is the best fit.

    *   Sense 2: "a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage." (Fits the idea of disease progression.)
    *   Sense 3: "(biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level." (Fits the biological context perfectly.)

5.  **Re-evaluate the specific phrasing:** "a coherent picture of cancer development emerged." This refers to the progression of the disease. While Sense 3 is the most specific biological definition, Sense 2 is the most general definition of a *process* moving through stages, which is what "development" implies in this context (the progression of the disease).

    *   Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 2: "the development of his ideas took many years." (Process over time.)
    *   Let's look at the examples provided for Sense 3: "he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children." (Biological growth.)

    Since the context is "cancer," the biological meaning (Sense 3) is highly relevant. However, the structure "a coherent picture of X development emerged" emphasizes the *process* of change.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In general usage, "development" often leans toward Sense 2 (process of progression) or Sense 3 (biological growth). Since the subject is cancer (a biological entity), Sense 3 is the most precise fit for the *type* of development being discussed.

    *   Sentence: Gradually, a coherent picture of cancer development emerged.
    *   Sense 3: (biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level. (This describes exactly how cancer progresses.)

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3 is the most accurate fit given the subject matter (cancer).

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

Sentence: Gradually, a coherent picture of cancer development <t>emerged</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=come out into view, as from concealment | examples=Suddenly, the proprietor emerged from his office
2. definition=come out of | examples=Water issued from the hole in the wall
3. definition=become known or apparent | examples=Some nice results emerged from the study
4. definition=come up to the surface of or rise | examples=He felt new emotions emerge
5. definition=happen or occur as a result of something

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "emerge" is used in the sentence: "Gradually, a coherent picture of cancer development <t>emerged</t>."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Gradually, a coherent picture of cancer development emerged."
    *   The context is about a "picture" (information, understanding) becoming visible or clear over time ("Gradually").

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=come out into view, as from concealment | examples=Suddenly, the proprietor emerged from his office
        *   *Check against sentence:* Does a picture "come out into view"? Yes, it becomes visible or apparent.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=come out of | examples=Water issued from the hole in the wall
        *   *Check against sentence:* Does a picture "come out of"? No.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=become known or apparent | examples=Some nice results emerged from the study
        *   *Check against sentence:* Does a picture "become known or apparent"? Yes, the picture of development became clear/apparent.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=come up to the surface of or rise | examples=He felt new emotions emerge
        *   *Check against sentence:* Does a picture "come up to the surface"? No.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=happen or occur as a result of something
        *   *Check against sentence:* Does the picture "happen or occur"? No, this is too passive and doesn't capture the sense of becoming visible.

4.  **Compare Best Fits (Sense 1 vs. Sense 3):**

    *   Sentence: "Gradually, a coherent picture... emerged."
    *   Sense 1: "come out into view" (Focuses on visibility/appearance).
    *   Sense 3: "become known or apparent" (Focuses on clarity/realization).

    Both Sense 1 and Sense 3 are strong candidates. However, "emerge" often implies something becoming visible or clear.

    *   Example for Sense 1: "The hidden treasure emerged from the sand." (Physical coming out into view).
    *   Example for Sense 3: "The truth emerged from the confusion." (Conceptual becoming apparent).

    In the context of a "picture of cancer development," the picture is becoming clear or visible. Sense 3 ("become known or apparent") fits this conceptual development very well. Sense 1 ("come out into view") also fits, but Sense 3 often better captures the idea of complex information or understanding becoming clear.

    Let's re-examine the provided examples:
    *   Sense 1 example: "Suddenly, the proprietor emerged from his office" (Physical movement/coming out).
    *   Sense 3 example: "Some nice results emerged from the study" (Results becoming apparent/known).

    The sentence describes a conceptual development (a picture of development). Sense 3 is the most precise fit for the idea of understanding or information becoming clear.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3.

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

Sentence: If both <t>copies</t> of a certain gene were knocked out, benign polyps would develop.

Senses:
1. definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
3. definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "copy" is used in the sentence: "If both copies of a certain gene were knocked out, benign polyps would develop."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "If both copies of a certain gene were knocked out, benign polyps would develop."
    *   The word is "copies".
    *   Context: "gene," "knocked out," "benign polyps." This is clearly a biological/genetic context.
    *   Meaning of "copies" here refers to duplicate versions of a gene.

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
    *   Sense 2: definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress
    *   Sense 3: definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
    *   Sense 4: definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

4.  **Match the Sentence Meaning to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence uses "copies" in the sense of duplicate physical or biological entities (duplicate genes).
    *   Sense 1 (reproduction of a written record) -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 (thing made to be similar or identical) -> Plausible, but usually applied to physical objects (like a photocopy).
    *   Sense 3 (matter to be printed) -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (journalistic material) -> Incorrect.

5.  **Re-evaluate Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 2: definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress.
    *   While the context is biological, the core meaning of "copy" is duplication/similarity. The examples provided for Sense 2 (designer dress) strongly support the definition of making something similar or identical. In a scientific context, a "copy" of a gene is a version made to be identical to the original.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit, as it relates to duplication and similarity, which is the function of "copies" in the sentence.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 2.

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "If both copies of a certain gene were knocked out, benign polyps would develop."

3.  **Examine the Word in Context:** The word is "certain." It modifies "gene."

4.  **Analyze the Meaning of "certain" in the Sentence:** The sentence is making a statement about a specific, identifiable gene. It is not expressing doubt, inevitability, or a promise of future action. It is identifying the gene being discussed.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=definite but not specified or identified | examples=set aside a certain sum each week. (This suggests a specific, defined item, even if not fully detailed.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured | examples=felt certain of success. (This is about confidence/lack of doubt.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=established beyond doubt or question; definitely known | examples=what is certain is that every effect must have a cause. (This is about being definitely known or established.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=certain to occur; destined or inevitable; ; ; - Benjamin Franklin | examples=he was certain to fail. (This is about inevitability/destiny.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=established irrevocably | examples=his fate is sealed. (This is about being fixed/sealed.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=reliable in operation or effect | examples=a quick and certain remedy. (This is about reliability.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=exercising or taking care great enough to bring assurance | examples=be certain to disconnect the iron when you are through. (This is about taking care to ensure something.)

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

    *   The sentence uses "a certain gene." This implies that the gene is specific and identifiable within the context of the discussion (genetics).
    *   Sense 1: "definite but not specified or identified." This fits the idea of identifying a specific type of gene, even if the exact sequence isn't listed.
    *   Sense 3: "established beyond doubt or question; definitely known." This is also plausible, but Sense 1 often applies when referring to a specific category or item being discussed.

7.  **Refine the Choice (Comparing 1 and 3):**
    *   If the sentence were: "We are certain that the gene is X," Sense 3 would be strong.
    *   If the sentence is: "a certain gene," it functions as an adjective specifying the type of gene being referenced. This aligns best with the idea of being definite or identified (Sense 1).

8.  **Final Check:** The structure "a [certain] gene" means "a specific/definite gene." Sense 1 captures this idea best. (Sense 3 implies a higher degree of established knowledge or proof, which isn't necessarily required just to name the gene.)

    *   *Check Sense 1 (remove/make invisible):* Possible, but less precise for genetic material.
    *   *Check Sense 2 (wipe out digitally/magnetically recorded information):* This fits the idea of removing a copy of information (the gene).
    *   *Check Sense 3 (cut or eliminate):* This fits the idea of removing or eliminating a copy of genetic material.

5.  **Refine the Distinction (Delete in a biological context):** When talking about genes, "delete" means to remove the sequence of DNA. This aligns strongly with the concept of elimination or cutting out a segment.

    *   If the context were "delete a file," Sense 2 would be best.
    *   If the context were "delete a name from a list," Sense 1 would be best.
    *   If the context is "delete a gene," it is fundamentally an elimination or cutting out of that sequence.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 (cut or eliminate) is the most accurate representation of removing a segment (a gene copy) from a larger structure (DNA).

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

Sentence: If both copies of a second gene were then deleted, the <t>polyps</t> would progress to malignancy.

Senses:
1. definition=a small vascular growth on the surface of a mucous membrane
2. definition=one of two forms that coelenterates take (e.g. a hydra or coral): usually sedentary with a hollow cylindrical body usually with a ring of tentacles around the mouth | examples=in some species of coelenterate, polyps are a phase in the life cycle that alternates with a medusoid phase

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "If both copies of a second gene were then deleted, the <t>polyps</t> would progress to malignancy."

3.  **Analyze the Word in Context:** The word is "polyps." The context involves "gene," "deleted," and "malignancy." This strongly suggests a biological/medical context (cancer, genetics).

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=a small vascular growth on the surface of a mucous membrane
    *   Sense 2: definition=one of two forms that coelenterates take (e.g. a hydra or coral): usually sedentary with a hollow cylindrical body usually with a ring of tentacles around the mouth | examples=in some species of coelenterate, polyps are a phase in the life cycle that alternates with a medusoid phase

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The sentence discusses gene deletion and malignancy (cancer).
    *   Sense 1 discusses a vascular growth on a mucous membrane (relevant to some types of tumors/growths).
    *   Sense 2 discusses coelenterates (hydra, coral) and life cycles.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** While the sentence is about genetics, the term "polyps" in a biological context often refers to growths. Sense 1 defines a polyp as a "small vascular growth on the surface of a mucous membrane." This definition is the most relevant biological definition provided, even if the specific context here is genetic progression to malignancy.

7.  **Final Check:** The context is biological/medical. Sense 1 is a biological definition. Sense 2 is a definition specific to cnidarians (coelenterates). Therefore, Sense 1 is the intended meaning.

8.  **Format the Output:** Return only the number. (1)

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

Sentence: If both copies of a second gene were then deleted, the polyps would progress to <t>malignancy</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=(medicine) a malignant state; progressive and resistant to treatment and tending to cause death
2. definition=quality of being disposed to evil; intense ill will

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

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "If both copies of a second gene were then deleted, the polyps would progress to <t>malignancy</t>."

3.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=(medicine) a malignant state; progressive and resistant to treatment and tending to cause death
    *   Sense 2: definition=quality of being disposed to evil; intense ill will

4.  **Determine the Context:** The sentence discusses "polyps" and the progression of a disease state due to gene deletion. This is a biological/medical context.

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1 (medical): "a malignant state; progressive and resistant to treatment and tending to cause death." (Fits the context of polyps progressing to a serious condition.)
    *   Sense 2 (moral/psychological): "quality of being disposed to evil; intense ill will." (Does not fit the context of biological progression.)

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct sense.

7.  **Format the Output:** The request asks for only the number.
