The user wants me to identify the correct sense of the word "turn" in the sentence: "Then last spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."

The word in question is "turns".

Sentence analysis: "...which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."
Here, the gene (p53) causes a change in the state or nature of the cells (from healthy to cancerous).

I need to examine the provided senses for "turn" and find the one that fits the context of transformation or change of state.

Senses review:
1. definition=change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense
2. definition=undergo a transformation or a change of position or action
3. definition=undergo a change or development
4. definition=cause to move around or rotate
5. definition=change to the contrary
6. definition=pass to the other side of
7. definition=pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become
8. definition=let (something) fall or spill from a container
9. definition=move around an axis or a center
10. definition=cause to move around a center so as to show another side of
11. definition=to send or let go
12. definition=to break and turn over earth especially with a plow
13. definition=shape by rotating on a lathe or cutting device or a wheel
14. definition=change color
15. definition=twist suddenly so as to sprain
16. definition=cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics
17. definition=accomplish by rotating
18. definition=get by buying and selling
19. definition=cause to move along an axis or into a new direction
20. definition=channel one's attention, interest, thought, or attention toward or away from something
21. definition=cause (a plastic object) to assume a crooked or angular form
22. definition=alter the functioning or setting of
23. definition=direct at someone
24. definition=have recourse to or make an appeal or request for help or information to
25. definition=go sour or spoil
26. definition=become officially one year older

The context is: "if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous." This describes a change in state or nature.

Comparing the context to the senses:
Sense 3: definition=undergo a change or development (Fits the idea of a change in state/condition).
Sense 7: definition=pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become (Also fits the idea of becoming cancerous).
Sense 16: definition=cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics (This is very strong, as the gene *causes* the cells to change into a cancerous state).

Let's re-read the sentence: "...p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."
The gene (p53) acts upon the cells, causing them to change their nature.

Sense 16: "cause to change or turn into something different;assume new characteristics". This perfectly captures the biological meaning here.

Sense 3: "undergo a change or development". This is also plausible, but Sense 16 is more specific to the transformation of one state (healthy) into another (cancerous).

Sense 7: "pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become". This is also very good.

Sense 16 seems the most precise fit for the transformation of cells into a different type.

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

Sentence: Soon after that report, two other research teams uncovered evidence that the same damaged p53 gene is <t>present</t> in tissue from lung and breast cancers.

Senses:
1. definition=temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration | examples=the present leader
2. definition=being or existing in a specified place | examples=the murderer is present in this room

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "present" (1 or 2) is used in the sentence: "Soon after that report, two other research teams uncovered evidence that the same damaged p53 gene is <t>present</t> in tissue from lung and breast cancers."

2.  **Analyze the Target Word:** The target word is "present" (marked with <t>present</t>).

3.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "the same damaged p53 gene is present in tissue..." The gene exists or is found in the tissue.

4.  **Analyze Sense 1:**
    *   Definition: definition=temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration
    *   Example: the present leader
    *   *Check against context:* Does "present" mean "now existing or happening"? In the context of scientific evidence ("the gene is present in tissue"), it means the gene exists in that tissue now. This aligns with the temporal sense (now existing).

5.  **Analyze Sense 2:**
    *   Definition: definition=being or existing in a specified place
    *   Example: the murderer is present in this room
    *   *Check against context:* Does "present" mean "existing in a specified place"? Yes, the gene exists in the tissue.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit (Distinguishing between 1 and 2):**
    *   The sentence structure is: [Subject (gene)] + [Verb (is)] + [Adjective/Predicate (present)] + [Location (in tissue)].
    *   Sense 2 focuses purely on location/existence in a place.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on time (now existing).
    *   In scientific/factual reporting, when we say something "is present in X," we are primarily stating that it exists (Sense 2). However, Sense 1 (now existing) is often the underlying temporal component of "is present."

7.  **Re-evaluate the provided definitions and examples:**
    *   Sense 1: temporal sense; now existing or happening.
    *   Sense 2: being or existing in a specified place.

8.  **Apply to the specific usage:** "the gene is present in tissue." This usage emphasizes the location/existence within the tissue.
    *   If the sentence were: "The present leader is speaking," it would be Sense 1.
    *   If the sentence were: "The book is present on the shelf," it would be Sense 2.
    *   The sentence is: "the gene is present in tissue." This is fundamentally about existence/location.

9.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 (being or existing in a specified place) is the most direct and primary meaning conveyed by the structure "is present in [place]." (Although Sense 1 is also technically true, Sense 2 captures the spatial relationship emphasized by the prepositional phrase "in tissue.")

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "common" is used in the sentence: "Colon, lung and breast cancers are the most common and lethal forms of the disease, collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year."

2.  **Examine the Target Word and Context:** The word is "common." It is used in the phrase "the most common and lethal forms." The context refers to diseases affecting a large number of people.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   Sense 1: definition=belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public | examples=for the common good (Focuses on community/public participation.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual | examples=the common man (Focuses on lack of distinction, widespread occurrence, or average status.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=common to or shared by two or more parties | examples=a common friend (Focuses on shared ownership/relationship.)
    *   Sense 4: definition=commonly encountered | examples=a common (or familiar) complaint (Focuses on frequency of encounter.)

    *   The sentence states that these cancers are the "most common." This implies they are widespread, ordinary, or frequently encountered.
    *   Sense 2: "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual." This fits the idea that these cancers are typical or widespread occurrences.
    *   Sense 4: "commonly encountered." This is very close, but Sense 2 captures the broader meaning of being "ordinary" or "average" in a statistical sense, which fits the context of disease prevalence better than just "encountered."
    *   Sense 6: "of or associated with the great masses of people." While true that these are common, the primary meaning used here is descriptive of their frequency/ordinariness, not just their association with the masses.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 ("having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual") is the best fit for describing diseases that are statistically frequent and typical.

2.  **Examine the sentence:** "Colon, lung and breast cancers are the most common and lethal forms of the disease, collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year."

3.  **Analyze the context of "killing":** The sentence refers to cancers being "lethal forms of the disease" and collectively "killing almost 200,000 Americans a year." This usage means causing death.

4.  **Review the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=cause to die; put to death, usually intentionally or knowingly | examples=This man killed several people when he tried to rob a bank (Focus: causing death)
    *   2. definition=thwart the passage of | examples=kill a motion (Focus: stopping/blocking)
    *   3. definition=end or extinguish by forceful means | examples=Stamp out poverty! (Focus: ending/extinguishing)

    *   15. definition=destroy a vitally essential quality of or in | examples=Eating artichokes kills the taste of all other foods (Focus: destroying quality)

5.  **Match the context to the senses:** The sentence describes cancers causing death (lethal forms, killing Americans).

    *   Sense 1: cause to die. (Strong match)
    *   Sense 9: deprive of life. (Strong match)
    *   Sense 10: cause the death of, without intention. (Match, but the context implies a natural/disease process, not necessarily "without intention.")

6.  **Refine the choice:** Both 1 and 9 relate to causing death.
    *   Sense 1: cause to die; put to death, usually intentionally or knowingly.
    *   Sense 9: deprive of life.

    The context is about the *effect* of the disease (cancers) on the population. Sense 9 ("deprive of life") is a very direct synonym for the outcome described (killing 200,000 Americans). Sense 1 ("cause to die") is also accurate.

    Let's re-read the examples for 1 and 9.
    1: killed several people (intentional/knowingly).
    9: AIDS has killed thousands (depriving of life).

    Since the sentence is discussing the collective impact of diseases (cancers), Sense 9 (deprive of life) is perhaps the most encompassing description of the outcome, although Sense 1 (cause to die) is also fundamentally correct.

    However, in standard usage, "killing" a population is fundamentally "causing death." Let's check if there is a better fit.

    The sentence: "...collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year."

    If we look at the provided options, Sense 1 is the most direct definition of the action of causing death.

    *Self-Correction/Final Check:* The core meaning of "killing" in the context of disease mortality is causing death. Sense 1 explicitly states "cause to die."

While Sense 3 is close ("greatest importance"), Sense 1 captures the sense of being "vital" or "extreme importance" most accurately in a scientific/medical context where something is necessary for a process. Sense 2 ("having crucial relevance") is too weak for the strong claim being made here.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit.

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

Sentence: Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the <t>development</t> of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix.

Senses:
1. definition=act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining | examples=he congratulated them on their development of a plan to meet the emergency
2. definition=a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) | examples=the development of his ideas took many years
3. definition=(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 | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children
4. definition=a recent event that has some relevance for the present situation | examples=recent developments in Iraq
5. definition=the act of making some area of land or water more profitable or productive or useful | examples=the development of Alaskan resources
6. definition=a district that has been developed to serve some purpose | examples=such land is practical for small park developments
7. definition=a state in which things are improving; the result of developing (as in the early part of a game of chess) | examples=after he saw the latest development he changed his mind and became a supporter
8. definition=processing a photosensitive material in order to make an image visible | examples=the development and printing of his pictures took only two hours
9. definition=(music) the section of a composition or movement (especially in sonata form) where the major musical themes are developed and elaborated

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "development" (marked with `<t>development</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. I must return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the <t>development</t> of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix."

3.  **Determine the Context of "development":**
    *   The sentence discusses the inactivation of genes and its role in the emergence/progression of diseases (cancers).
    *   The phrase is "development of such scourges as cancer..." This refers to the biological process by which these diseases arise or progress.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining | examples=he congratulated them on their development of a plan... (Focuses on improvement/refinement of a plan.) -> *Does not fit the biological context.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) | examples=the development of his ideas took many years (Focuses on progression to a more advanced stage.) -> *Plausible, but often used in a general sense.*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(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 | examples=he proposed an indicator of osseous development in children (Focuses on biological growth/unfolding.) -> *Highly relevant, as the context is cancer/genes/biology.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a recent event that has some relevance for the present situation | examples=recent developments in Iraq (Focuses on recent events.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=the act of making some area of land or water more profitable or productive or useful | examples=the development of Alaskan resources (Focuses on economic/land use.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=a district that has been developed to serve some purpose | examples=such land is practical for small park developments (Focuses on a district/area.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=a state in which things are improving; the result of developing (as in the early part of a game of chess) | examples=after he saw the latest development he changed his mind... (Focuses on a state of improvement/result.) -> *Less specific than Sense 3.*
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=processing a photosensitive material in order to make an image visible | examples=the development and printing of his pictures took only two hours (Focuses on chemical processing of film.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=(music) the section of a composition or movement... where the major musical themes are developed and elaborated (Focuses on music.) -> *Does not fit.*

5.  **Conclusion:** The context is biological (genes, cancer, organs). Sense 3, which explicitly defines "development" in a biological context (growth, unfolding of events, changing from simple to complex), is the most appropriate fit.
