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

Context: Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. "It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer. Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded. "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor <t>made</t> possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute. "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 there soon. "

The user wants me to identify the correct sense of the numbered verb "make" (<t>made</t>) in the provided context.

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

I need to analyze the structure of the sentence: "studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights..."

The verb "made" is used here in the structure: [Subject (studying... tumor)] + [Verb (made)] + [Object (possible)] + [Complement (some fundamental insights)].

This structure suggests that the subject (studying the tumor) caused or resulted in the object (insights) being made possible.

Let's review the senses of "make" and see which one fits the meaning of "cause to be" or "cause to happen/occur."

Senses to consider:
3. definition=make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor
5. definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir
16. definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision; make a move
24. definition=carry out or commit | examples=make a mistake; commit a faux-pas

Analyzing the usage: "studying a tumor made possible some insights."
This means studying the tumor resulted in or caused the insights to become possible.

Sense 3: definition=make or cause to be or to become. This fits perfectly.

Let's check other options briefly:
1. engage in (No)
2. give certain properties to something (No)
4. cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner (Possible, but 3 is more direct for 'made possible')
5. give rise to; cause to happen or occur (Very close, but 3 emphasizes the resulting state/possibility.)
18. change from one form into another (No)

Sense 3 is the strongest fit for "made possible."

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

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

3.  **Analyze the Target Word ("possible") in Context:**
    The structure is: [Action/Event] made [Result] possible.
    Studying the tumor -> made fundamental insights possible.
    This usage implies that the studying of the tumor created the *condition* or *opportunity* for the insights to exist or be obtained.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=capable of happening or existing | examples=a breakthrough may be possible next year; anything is possible
        *   Focus: Capability, potential for occurrence. (e.g., "a breakthrough *may be possible*")

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=existing in possibility | synonyms=potential | examples=a potential problem; possible uses of nuclear power
        *   Focus: Existing state of being potential or latent possibility. (e.g., "a *potential* problem"; "possible uses")

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context states that studying the tumor *made* insights possible. This suggests that the studying created the *opportunity* or *condition* for the insights to exist.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *capability* of something to happen (e.g., "It is possible to win").
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *existence* of a potential (e.g., "There is a potential for insight").

    *Re-evaluating the specific usage:* "made possible" often means "enabled" or "created the condition for."

    Let's look at the examples provided for the senses:
    *   Sense 1 examples: "a breakthrough may be possible next year; anything is possible" (Focus on future capability/potential).
    *   Sense 2 examples: "a potential problem; possible uses of nuclear power" (Focus on existing potential/latent possibility).

    The phrase "made possible" in the context of scientific discovery usually refers to creating the *condition* for something to exist (Sense 2: existing in possibility/potential).

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 1 deals with capability, Sense 2 deals with the state of being potential. When something "makes possible" something else, it often means that the prerequisite (the study) has brought the desired outcome (the insights) into existence from a state of non-existence or latent potential.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage aligns best with the definition of existing in possibility/potential (Sense 2).

3.  **Analyze the Target Word ("insights") in Context:**
    The sentence states that studying the tumor made possible "fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer." This suggests a deep, fundamental understanding gained from research.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=clear or deep perception of a situation | synonyms=penetration
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a feeling of understanding | synonyms=perceptiveness, perceptivity

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context uses "fundamental insights" about "the most basic workings of cancer."
    *   *Sense 1 (clear or deep perception):* Fits well.
    *   *Sense 2 (feeling of understanding):* Plausible, but perhaps too general.
    *   *Sense 3 (clear and often sudden understanding of a complex situation):* This is a strong candidate, as scientific discoveries often lead to sudden, clear understandings.
    *   *Sense 4 (grasping the inner nature of things intuitively):* This emphasizes the intuitive/non-rational aspect ("sixth sense").

6.  **Refine the Choice (Comparing 1, 2, 3, and 4):**
    The word "insights" in a scientific/research context usually implies a sudden, profound understanding of complex mechanisms.

    *   Sense 3: "the clear (and often sudden) understanding of a complex situation." This aligns very well with the idea that studying the tumor led to a new, fundamental understanding of cancer's workings.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the best fit for "fundamental insights" in this scientific context.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The word is used in the phrase "most basic workings of cancer" and "this basic research."

    *   "basic workings" implies fundamental, foundational, or essential principles.
    *   "basic research" implies foundational, introductory, or fundamental studies.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=pertaining to or constituting a base or basis | examples=a basic fact; the basic ingredients
        *   *Fit Check:* "basic fact" (fits well). "basic ingredients" (fits well). "workings" (how things operate/are constituted). This sense focuses on being a foundation or constituting a base.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality | synonyms=canonic, canonical | examples=a basic story line; a canonical syllable pattern
        *   *Fit Check:* This sense relates to simplification or canonical form. While "basic" can imply simplicity, the context here is about fundamental *principles* of cancer, not necessarily reducing a complex structure to its simplest form mathematically or linguistically.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=serving as a base or starting point | synonyms=introductory | examples=a basic course in Russian; basic training for raw recruits
        *   *Fit Check:* This sense relates to being an introduction or starting point. "Basic training" fits this well. "Basic course" fits this well. While "basic research" is foundational, the focus in the context is on the *nature* of the workings, not just the introductory nature of the research itself.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=of or denoting or of the nature of or containing a base
        *   *Fit Check:* This is very close to Sense 1 ("pertaining to or constituting a base or basis").

5.  **Compare and Select the Best Fit:**
    The context uses "basic workings" and "basic research" to mean fundamental, foundational, or essential principles.

    *   Sense 1: pertaining to or constituting a base or basis (Strong fit: "basic fact," "basic ingredients").
    *   Sense 4: of or denoting or of the nature of or containing a base (Strong fit).

    Since Sense 1 explicitly uses the phrase "a basic fact" and "the basic ingredients," and the usage in the text ("basic workings") refers to the fundamental nature/constituent parts of cancer, Sense 1 is the most accurate representation of the intended meaning (fundamental/constituent).

6.  **Final Check:** The context emphasizes the fundamental insights derived from studying the tumor, which aligns perfectly with the idea of the "basic" (fundamental/constituent) workings of cancer.

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

The word is "says". It is used here to introduce a quote or attribution of an opinion/statement by Samuel Broder.

Let's review the senses provided:

1. definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you (This fits reporting speech or expressing a statement.)
2. definition=report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war (This is about reporting information/allegations.)
3. definition=express a supposition | synonyms=suppose | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth; Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do? (Not applicable.)
4. definition=have or contain a certain wording or form | synonyms=read | examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say? (Not applicable.)
5. definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | synonyms=order, tell, enjoin (Not applicable.)
6. definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way | synonyms=pronounce, articulate, enounce, sound out, enunciate (This is about the act of speaking.)
7. definition=communicate or express nonverbally (Not applicable.)
8. definition=utter aloud (This is about speaking aloud.)
9. definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare (This is about expressing an opinion or judgment.)
10. definition=recite or repeat a fixed text (Not applicable.)
11. definition=indicate (Not applicable.)

Analysis of the usage:
The structure is: "[Quote/Statement], '<t>says</t> [Name], [Title]."
The statement being attributed is: "studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer."

When someone says something in this context, they are stating their opinion or observation/conclusion based on the research.

Compare Sense 1 (express in words | synonyms=state, tell) and Sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement; declare).

Sense 1 is broad: "He said that he wanted to marry her." (Reporting speech).
Sense 9 is specific: "I say let's forget this whole business." (Stating an opinion/judgment).

In the context of academic/scientific reporting, when a director of an institute says something, they are usually stating their finding, conclusion, or opinion based on the research.

Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her." This is a classic use of 'say' for reporting speech.
Let's re-examine the context: "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, 'says Samuel Broder...'"

The structure is slightly elliptical. It functions as "Samuel Broder says [the statement]". This is a form of reporting speech (Sense 1).

However, if we focus on the *function* of the verb in this specific attribution, it is often used to introduce a statement or opinion.

Let's look at the provided synonyms for Sense 1: state, tell.
Let's look at the provided synonyms for Sense 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare.

If the quote is a factual statement derived from research, Sense 1 is appropriate. If the quote is a subjective opinion, Sense 9 is appropriate. Given the context ("made possible some fundamental insights"), it sounds like a statement of conclusion/finding.

Let's check the other instance of "says" earlier in the text: "It made our New Year, 'says Mr. Quinlan." Here, Mr. Quinlan is stating a fact/observation.

Both instances function as reporting speech (Sense 1).

Let's stick to the most general and accurate definition for reporting what someone communicated.

Sense 1: definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell. This covers reporting what someone communicated.

If the context was: "I say that the sky is blue," Sense 9 would be better.
If the context is: "He said the meeting was canceled," Sense 1 is better.

Since the quote is attributed to a director stating a finding, Sense 1 (expressing in words/stating) is the most robust fit for reporting the communication.

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

Context: Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. "It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer. Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded. "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, <t>director</t> of the National Cancer Institute. "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 there soon. "

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The word is `<t>basic</t>`.

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

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "basic" in Context:**
    The phrase is "the most basic workings of cancer."
    "Basic workings" implies the fundamental, foundational, or essential principles/mechanisms of how cancer operates.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=pertaining to or constituting a base or basis | examples=a basic fact; the basic ingredients
        *   *Fit:* "workings" (mechanisms/principles) can be considered the "base" or "basis" of cancer. This seems plausible.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality | synonyms=canonic, canonical | examples=a basic story line; a canonical syllable pattern
        *   *Fit:* This sense relates to simplification or reduction to the essential form. "Most basic workings" aligns well with finding the simplest, most significant form of the process.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=serving as a base or starting point | synonyms=introductory | examples=a basic course in Russian; basic training for raw recruits
        *   *Fit:* While research might be a starting point, the context refers to the *workings* (the nature of the system), not just an introductory course or training. Less likely.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=of or denoting or of the nature of or containing a base
        *   *Fit:* This is very broad, but it relates to the nature of the workings.

5.  **Compare and Select the Best Fit:**
    The context uses "most basic workings." This emphasizes the fundamental, essential nature of the subject matter.

    *   Sense 1 focuses on "constituting a base or basis."
    *   Sense 2 focuses on "reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible."

    In scientific/analytical contexts (like studying the workings of cancer), "basic" often means fundamental or essential. Sense 2 captures the idea of stripping the subject down to its core, most significant elements, which fits the idea of gaining "fundamental insights."

    Let's re-examine the examples:
    Sense 1: "a basic fact; the basic ingredients" (Focus on foundation/constituent parts)
    Sense 2: "a basic story line; a canonical syllable pattern" (Focus on reduction to the simplest, most significant form)

    The phrase "most basic workings" strongly suggests the essential, irreducible core of the system. Sense 2 is the strongest fit for this meaning.

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=have a beginning characterized in some specified way | synonyms=start | *Example: The novel begins with a murder; My property begins with the three maple trees* (Focuses on the starting point, often with a specific characteristic.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object | *Example: begin a cigar; She started the soup while it was still hot* (Focuses on initiating an action related to the object.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=achieve or accomplish in the least degree, usually used in the negative | *Example: This economic measure doesn't even begin to deal with the problem of inflation* (Uses "begin" as an intensifier, usually negative.)
    *   **Sense 10:** definition=begin to speak, understand, read, and write a language | *Example: She began Russian at an early age; We started French in fourth grade* (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context is: "...this basic research will begin showing results there soon."
    This means the research will start the process of showing results.

    *   Sense 1 (take the first step or steps in carrying out an action) - Good fit.
    *   Sense 3 (set in motion, cause to start) - Excellent fit, emphasizing the initiation of the research/process.

6.  **Refine the Choice (1 vs 3):**
    "Begin showing results" is about initiating the process.
    Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action."
    Sense 3: "set in motion, cause to start."

    Both are strong. However, Sense 3 ("set in motion, cause to start") often captures the idea of initiating a larger, complex process (like research leading to results) more effectively than Sense 1, which focuses more on the immediate "first step."

    Let's re-read the examples for 1 and 3.
    Sense 1: "We began working at dawn; Who will start?" (Simple action start)
    Sense 3: "The U.S. started a war in the Middle East; The Iraqis began hostilities" (Initiating a major event/process)

    The context is about research leading to results—a process being set in motion. Sense 3 is the most precise fit for initiating a process or cause.

The user wants me to identify the correct sense of the word "show" in the context provided.
The context is: "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 <t>showing</t> results there soon."

I need to analyze the usage of "showing" in this sentence.

Context analysis: "...this basic research will begin showing results there soon."
The meaning here is that the research will start to reveal or make visible the results.

Now I will check the provided senses for "show".

1. definition=give an exhibition of to an interested audience | synonyms=demo, exhibit, present, demonstrate
2. definition=establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment | synonyms=prove, demonstrate, establish, shew
3. definition=provide evidence for | synonyms=testify, bear witness, prove, evidence
4. definition=make visible or noticeable | examples=She showed her talent for cooking; Show me your etchings, please
5. definition=show in, or as in, a picture | synonyms=picture, depict, render
6. definition=give expression to | synonyms=express, evince
7. definition=indicate a place, direction, person, or thing; either spatially or figuratively
8. definition=be or become visible or noticeable | synonyms=show up
9. definition=indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments
10. definition=give evidence of, as of records
11. definition=take (someone) to their seats, as in theaters or auditoriums
12. definition=finish third or better in a horse or dog race

Comparing the context ("will begin showing results") with the senses:

Sense 4: definition=make visible or noticeable. This fits the idea of research results becoming visible.
Sense 8: definition=be or become visible or noticeable. This is very similar to Sense 4.

Let's re-examine the options.
The phrase "showing results" means revealing or making the results apparent.

If I look at the examples for Sense 4: "She showed her talent for cooking; Show me your etchings, please." (Making talent/etchings visible).
If I look at the examples for Sense 8: "His good upbringing really shows; The dirty side will show." (Becoming visible/noticeable).

The context: "...this basic research will begin showing results there soon."
This means the research will start to make the results visible or noticeable.

Both 4 and 8 are strong candidates.
4: make visible or noticeable
8: be or become visible or noticeable

In the context of research results, "making visible" (4) or "becoming visible" (8) are appropriate. Since 8 uses "become visible or noticeable" and has "show up" as a synonym, and 4 uses "make visible or noticeable", both are plausible.

Let's check if there is any subtle difference.
"showing results" implies the results are coming into view.

If I use Sense 4: "this basic research will begin making results visible there soon." (Fits well)
If I use Sense 8: "this basic research will begin becoming visible results there soon." (Grammatically awkward, usually "show results" or "show up results", not "become visible results").

Let's stick with the core meaning: revealing or making apparent.

Sense 4: definition=make visible or noticeable.

This seems the most direct fit for "showing results."

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "result" (marked by `<t>results</t>`) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. 'It made our New Year,' says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer. Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

'To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The target is `<t>results</t>`.
    The relevant sentence is: "but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise; his decision had depressing consequences for business
        *   *Check against context:* The research will show consequences/outcomes/effects. This is plausible.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem | synonyms=solution, answer, resolution, solvent | examples=they were trying to find a peaceful solution; the answers were in the back of the book
        *   *Check against context:* The research is showing findings/data, not necessarily solving a problem (though it might lead to a solution). Less likely.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=something that results | synonyms=resultant, final result, outcome, termination | examples=he listened for the results on the radio
        *   *Check against context:* "this basic research will begin showing results." This fits the definition of "something that results" or "outcome."

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause | synonyms=resultant role
        *   *Check against context:* This is a highly technical/linguistic definition (semantic role). The context is general scientific reporting, not linguistic analysis. Highly unlikely.

5.  **Compare and Select the Best Fit:**
    The context states that research will show *results*.
    Sense 3: definition=something that results | synonyms=resultant, final result, outcome, termination.
    This is the most direct and common usage of "results" in a scientific/research context, meaning the outcomes or findings produced by the research.

6.  **Final Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the correct fit.

3. definition=to or toward that place; away from the speaker | synonyms=thither | examples=go there around noon!

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "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. "To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors."

3.  **Analyze the Target Sentence:** "I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "there" in Context:** The speaker is talking about research/results. "There" is used to indicate a future location or state where the results will appear or where the research will lead. It is not pointing to a physical place the speaker is currently standing or moving toward.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=in or at that place | synonyms=at that place, in that location | examples=they have lived there for years; it's not there (Focuses on physical location.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=in that matter | synonyms=in that respect, on that point | examples=I agree with you there (Focuses on a topic or situation.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=to or toward that place; away from the speaker | synonyms=thither | examples=go there around noon! (Focuses on movement/direction.)

6.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context is about research results/progress ("showing results").
    *   Sense 1 (place) is unlikely, as the results aren't a physical location.
    *   Sense 3 (movement/direction) is unlikely, as the results aren't a destination to move to.
    *   Sense 2 (in that matter/in that context) fits best, implying "in that situation" or "in that field of study" (i.e., the research will yield results *in that area*).

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage aligns with Sense 2.

3.  **Match the meaning to the context:**
    *   The context implies the action of achieving or accomplishing a discovery.
    *   Sense 13: definition=reach a goal, e.g., synonyms=reach, get to, progress to, examples=make the first team; We made it! (Fits the idea of achieving a goal/milestone.)
    *   Sense 21: definition=achieve a point or goal, synonyms=have, get, examples=Nicklaus had a 70; The Brazilian team got 4 goals (Also fits achieving a goal.)
    *   Sense 24: definition=carry out or commit (make a mistake; commit a faux-pas) (Less likely, as discovery is usually not a mistake.)
    *   Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a decision; make a move) (Possible, but less focused on the result of the discovery.)

4.  **Compare 13 and 21:**
    *   "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery..."
    *   This is an achievement, reaching a goal. Both 13 and 21 are strong candidates.
    *   Sense 21: achieve a point or goal.
    *   Sense 13: reach a goal.

    In the context of scientific discovery, "achieve a point or goal" (21) or "reach a goal" (13) are the most appropriate. Since the discovery is a specific achievement, 21 is a very strong fit.

    Let's re-read the options for 13 and 21.
    13: reach a goal, e.g., make the first team; We made it!
    21: achieve a point or goal; Nicklaus had a 70; The Brazilian team got 4 goals.

    Both work, but 21 is a direct definition of achieving a goal/point.

    Let's check the surrounding text again: "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986." This emphasizes the successful completion of the discovery.

    Sense 21: definition=achieve a point or goal. This is the best fit for describing the successful completion of a major scientific finding.

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

Context: This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer. Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded. "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute. "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 there soon. "To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors. Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma <t>discovery</t> in 1986. Then last spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering
2. definition=something that is discovered

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "discovery" (marked with `<t>discovery</t>`) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target word: `discovery`
    *   Sentence containing it: "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma <t>discovery</t> in 1986."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Usage:**
    *   "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986."
    *   Here, "discovery" is used as a noun, referring to the specific finding or finding of the gene/condition. The structure is "made [X] [Y]".

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering (Focuses on the *act*.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=something that is discovered (Focuses on the *thing*.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find (Focuses on the *result* or *insight*.)
    *   Sense 4: definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure... (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Match Usage to Sense:**
    *   The phrase "made his retinoblastoma discovery" refers to the specific finding or event (the discovery itself).
    *   Sense 1 (the act of discovering something) fits well, as the doctor *performed* the act.
    *   Sense 2 (something that is discovered) also fits, as "discovery" is the noun representing the finding.
    *   Sense 3 (a productive insight) is less fitting, as it refers to the *result* of the research, not necessarily the specific event of finding the gene/condition.

6.  **Re-evaluate the Options based on typical usage:**
    *   When we say "He made a discovery," we are referring to the finding itself.
    *   Sense 1: "the act of discovering something." (Fits)
    *   Sense 2: "something that is discovered." (Fits)

    *   Let's look at the surrounding text: "Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986." This is a historical event where a finding was made.

    *   If the context were: "The discovery led to a breakthrough," Sense 3 would be better.
    *   Since the context is simply naming the event/finding, both 1 and 2 are plausible. However, Sense 1 ("the act of discovering something") is often the most direct definition of the noun form when used in this manner (e.g., "He made a discovery").

    *   Let's check the provided options again.
        *   1. definition=the act of discovering something
        *   2. definition=something that is discovered

    *   In the phrase "made his discovery," the discovery is the *thing* (Sense 2), but the verb "made" implies the *action* (Sense 1). Since the word itself is the noun "discovery," it functions as the result (Sense 2).

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In many contexts, "discovery" is used as a noun meaning "the finding." Sense 2 is the most direct definition of the noun itself.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 (something that is discovered).
