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

Context: In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer tissue they tested are missing this gene. There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers. At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes. Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two <t>copies</t> of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too.

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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify the numbered sense of the word "copy" (<t>copies</t>) used in the provided context.

2.  **Examine the Context:** "Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two <t>copies</t> of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer."

3.  **Analyze the Word "copies" in Context:** The context is discussing genetics, genes, chromosomes, and inheritance (defective gene). The phrase "two copies of chromosome 3" refers to the genetic material inherited from parents.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record) | synonyms=transcript. (Relates to text/records.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing | examples=she made a copy of the designer dress; the clone was a copy of its ancestor. (Relates to similarity, duplication, or replica.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials | synonyms=written matter. (Relates to text/printing.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy. (Relates to writing/journalism.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context uses "copies" in a biological/genetic sense (two sets of chromosomes).
    *   Sense 2 defines "copy" as "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" and provides examples like "clone was a copy of its ancestor." This aligns perfectly with the biological meaning of genetic copies.

6.  **Conclusion:** The correct sense is number 2.

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The word is "<t>other</t>" in the sentence: "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several <t>other</t> more common cancers, too."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "other":**
    The phrase is "several other more common cancers." This implies cancers that are distinct from the previously mentioned ones (lung cancers, retinoblastoma-related cancers) but are still common.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; examples=today isn't any other day; the construction of highways and other public works.
        *   *Check against context:* "other" here refers to cancers that are not the specific ones already discussed (lung cancer, retinoblastoma-related cancers). This matches the definition of "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied."

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=recently past; examples=the other evening.
        *   *Check against context:* Does "other" mean "recently past"? No.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=belonging to the distant past; synonyms=early, former; examples=the early inhabitants of Europe; former generations.
        *   *Check against context:* Does "other" mean "distant past"? No.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail.
        *   *Check against context:* While the cancers might be "different," the primary function of "other" here is simply inclusion/distinction from a set, not necessarily emphasizing abnormality or strangeness (though they are distinct). Sense 1 is a much closer fit for listing items outside a defined group.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 (not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied) is the correct interpretation.

2.  **Examine the Context:** "Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other <t>more</t> common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word:** The word is "more". It appears in the phrase "more common cancers".

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | synonyms=to a greater extent | examples=more interesting; more beautiful (Focuses on comparison/degree).
    *   Sense 2: definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now; they eat more than they should (Focuses on quantity/degree).

5.  **Apply Senses to the Context:**
    *   The phrase is "more common cancers."
    *   "Common" is an adjective.
    *   "More common" means having a greater degree of commonness, or occurring to a greater extent.
    *   This usage is a comparative form indicating a greater extent or degree of the quality (commonness).

6.  **Compare Context Usage with Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | synonyms=to a greater extent | examples=more interesting; more beautiful." (Matches the function of "more common" as a comparative adjective.)
    *   Sense 2: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now; they eat more than they should." (Matches the function of "more" in quantity/degree, e.g., "more water," "more time.")

7.  **Conclusion:** The usage "more common" functions as a comparative adjective, fitting Sense 1. (While Sense 2 deals with degree, Sense 1 specifically addresses the formation of comparatives for adjectives.)

3.  **Locate the Target Word:** The word is "common" in the phrase "several other more common cancers".

4.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** The word "common" is used to describe types of cancers that are frequently encountered or widespread, rather than being rare, inferior quality, or belonging to a specific community/class.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public (e.g., for the common good; common lands). (Does not fit the context of types of diseases.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual (e.g., the common man; a common sailor). (Fits well. "Common cancers" means typical or frequently encountered cancers.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=common to or shared by two or more parties (e.g., a common friend; mutual interests). (Does not fit.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=commonly encountered (synonyms=usual) (e.g., a common (or familiar) complaint; the usual greeting). (Fits very well. "Common cancers" are cancers that are commonly encountered.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language (e.g., common parlance). (Does not fit.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=of or associated with the great masses of people (e.g., the common people). (Does not fit.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=of low or inferior quality or value (e.g., coarse). (Does not fit.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=lacking refinement or cultivation or taste (e.g., coarse manners). (Does not fit.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=to be expected; standard (e.g., common decency). (Does not fit.)

6.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 4:**
    *   Sense 2: widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual.
    *   Sense 4: commonly encountered; usual.

    Both Sense 2 and Sense 4 are very close synonyms and both accurately describe the meaning of "common" when referring to types of things (cancers).

    *   Context: "...several other more common cancers, too."
    *   Sense 4 definition: "commonly encountered." (Direct match)
    *   Sense 2 definition: "widely known or commonly encountered." (Direct match)

    Since Sense 4 is explicitly defined as "commonly encountered" and Sense 2 includes that definition, both are technically correct interpretations. However, Sense 4 is the most precise fit for the usage of "common" describing types of things that are frequently seen or encountered.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 4 (commonly encountered) or Sense 2 (widely known or commonly encountered). Since both are present, I will select the one that is most directly synonymous with the usage. Sense 4 is a perfect match.

Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "discoveries" (marked with <t>) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:** The word is "discoveries."
    *   Usage 1: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate." (Referring to the results/outcomes of the research.)
    *   Usage 2: "...turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests..." (Referring to the findings/results/insights gained.)

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering (Focuses on the *action*.)
    *   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 Senses:**
    *   The context uses "discoveries" as nouns referring to the results of scientific research (new genes, links to cancer, etc.).
    *   Sense 1 (the act of discovering) is a verb/process. (Not the best fit for the plural noun "discoveries" in this context.)
    *   Sense 2 (something that is discovered) fits the literal meaning of the noun.
    *   Sense 3 (a productive insight) fits the implication that these discoveries are significant findings or breakthroughs that lead to new therapies.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit (Standard Contextual Interpretation):** While Sense 2 is technically correct (discoveries = things that are discovered), Sense 3 ("a productive insight," "breakthrough") captures the *significance* of the scientific findings being discussed (leading to predictive tests and new therapies). In scientific/medical contexts, "discovery" often implies a significant insight or breakthrough.

7.  **Re-evaluate the options based on common usage:**
    *   If the focus is purely on the *fact* that things were found, Sense 2 works.
    *   If the focus is on the *value* of the findings (which the rest of the paragraph emphasizes—turning them into tests and therapies), Sense 3 is stronger.

    Let's look at the structure: "anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies." This emphasizes the *output* and *value* of the discoveries.

    Sense 3: definition=a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find. This aligns well with the high-stakes, forward-looking nature of the text.

8.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3.

6. definition=never except when | synonyms=only if, only when | examples=call me only if your cold gets worse
7. definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The sentence containing the target word is: "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can <t>only</t> speculate."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "only" in Context:**
    "scientists can only speculate." This means that the extent of what scientists can do is limited to speculation; they cannot do anything more (e.g., they cannot definitively know the outcome).

4.  **Examine the Provided Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=and nothing more | synonyms=merely, simply, just, but | examples=I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time (Focuses on limitation/restriction of scope.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=without any others being included or involved | synonyms=entirely, exclusively, solely, alone | examples=was entirely to blame; a school devoted entirely to the needs of problem children (Focuses on exclusivity/singularity.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=with nevertheless the final result (Focuses on consequence/result.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=in the final outcome (Focuses on result/consequence.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=except that (Focuses on exception.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=never except when (Focuses on condition/restriction.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=as recently as (Focuses on time.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The phrase "can only speculate" means "can do nothing but speculate" or "can only do speculation." This fits the definition of limitation or restriction of scope.

    *   Sense 1: "and nothing more" (Fits the idea of limitation/restriction.)
    *   Sense 2: "without any others being included" (Does not fit; it's not about exclusivity of the subject, but limitation of the action.)
    *   Sense 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: Do not fit the meaning of limitation.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage aligns best with Sense 1 (definition=and nothing more).

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

Context: Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb <t>unit</t> of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=any division of quantity accepted as a standard of measurement or exchange | synonyms=unit of measurement | examples=the dollar is the United States unit of currency; a unit of wheat is a bushel
2. definition=an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole | examples=the reduced the number of units and installations; the word is a basic linguistic unit
3. definition=an organization regarded as part of a larger social group | synonyms=social unit | examples=the coach said the offensive unit did a good job; after the battle the soldier had trouble rejoining his unit

5. definition=a single undivided natural thing occurring in the composition of something else | synonyms=building block | examples=units of nucleic acids
6. definition=an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity | synonyms=whole | examples=how big is that part compared to the whole?; the team is a unit

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    Context: "Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb <t>unit</t> of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** The phrase is "the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co."
    *   "Squibb" is a company.
    *   The phrase refers to a specific part or division of that company (or the company itself acting as a distinct entity in a collaboration).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=any division of quantity accepted as a standard of measurement or exchange | synonyms=unit of measurement | examples=the dollar is the United States unit of currency; a unit of wheat is a bushel. (Focuses on measurement/quantity.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole | examples=the reduced the number of units and installations; the word is a basic linguistic unit. (Focuses on a constituent part of a larger whole.) -> *Possible fit.*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an organization regarded as part of a larger social group | synonyms=social unit | examples=the coach said the offensive unit did a good job; after the battle the soldier had trouble rejoining his unit. (Focuses on a social/military group.) -> *Possible fit, but the context is corporate/pharmaceutical, not strictly social/military.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a single undivided whole | examples=an idea is not a unit that can be moved from one brain to another. (Focuses on singularity.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a single undivided natural thing occurring in the composition of something else | synonyms=building block | examples=units of nucleic acids. (Focuses on biological building blocks.) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity | synonyms=whole | examples=how big is that part compared to the whole?; the team is a unit. (Focuses on an assemblage/entity.) -> *Possible fit.*

5.  **Refine the Comparison (Focusing on "Squibb unit"):**
    The phrase "the Squibb unit" refers to a specific corporate entity or division.

    *   Sense 2: "an individual or group or structure or other entity regarded as a structural or functional constituent of a whole." (A company/division is a constituent part of the larger pharmaceutical industry/collaboration.)
    *   Sense 3: "an organization regarded as part of a larger social group." (A company is an organization.)
    *   Sense 6: "an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity." (A company is an assemblage of parts.)

    In a corporate context, Sense 2 (structural/functional constituent) and Sense 3 (organization/social unit) are strong contenders. However, Sense 2 is often the most general definition for a component part of a larger system or structure. Sense 3 is specifically about social groups. Since the context is about pharmaceutical companies collaborating, treating the company as a functional entity within the larger scientific/business structure aligns well with Sense 2.

    Let's re-examine the examples provided for Sense 2: "the reduced the number of units and installations; the word is a basic linguistic unit." This emphasizes the idea of a constituent part.

    Let's re-examine the examples provided for Sense 3: "the coach said the offensive unit did a good job; after the battle the soldier had trouble rejoining his unit." This emphasizes a group/social structure.

    Since the context is about pharmaceutical companies collaborating, treating the company as a functional entity within the larger scientific/business structure (Sense 2) is the most accurate interpretation of "unit" in this corporate context.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 fits best.

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

Context: Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of <t>discoveries</t> into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering
2. definition=something that is discovered
3. definition=a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find
4. definition=(law) compulsory pretrial disclosure of documents relevant to a case; enables one side in a litigation to elicit information from the other side concerning the facts in the case

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "discoveries" (marked with <t>) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:** The word is "discoveries."
    *   Usage 1: "Where these discoveries will lead..." (Referring to the results/outcomes of the research.)
    *   Usage 2: "...turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies." (Referring to the acts/results of finding new information/genes.)

4.  **Examine the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering (Focuses on the *action*.)
    *   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 Senses:**
    *   The context uses "discoveries" in the plural, referring to the findings, genes, and insights resulting from the research.
    *   Sense 1 (the act of discovering something) fits the general theme of research findings.
    *   Sense 2 (something that is discovered) fits the noun form of the findings.
    *   Sense 3 (a productive insight) fits the idea of a breakthrough or significant finding.

6.  **Determine the Best Fit (Contextual Analysis):**
    The passage is about scientists finding genes and linking them to cancer. These findings are significant breakthroughs and insights.
    *   If it were purely Sense 1 (the act), the sentence structure might focus more on the researchers' actions.
    *   If it were purely Sense 2 (the thing), it's a literal finding.
    *   If it were Sense 3 (a productive insight/breakthrough), it emphasizes the *value* of the findings that are being translated into therapies.

    The phrase "anticipated cascade of discoveries" strongly suggests significant, valuable findings (insights/breakthroughs) that lead to new applications. Sense 3 ("a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find") is the strongest fit for this context.

7.  **Final Check:** The context is about scientific breakthroughs leading to new therapies. Sense 3 captures this idea best.
