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

Context: The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one <t>copy</t> is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

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 which numbered sense of the word "copy" (marked with `<t>copy</t>`) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The target word is `<t>copy</t>`.
    The relevant sentence is: "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:**
    *   "...one defective copy of a suppressor gene..." (Meaning: one duplicate/reproduction of the gene.)
    *   "...or in whom one copy is damaged..." (Meaning: one duplicate/reproduction of the gene is damaged.)
    *   "...need only lose the other copy..." (Meaning: lose the other duplicate/reproduction.)
    The context is clearly discussing genetic material (genes, suppressor genes) and their duplication/reproduction.

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 duplication/reproduction, but specifically written 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/identity/duplication.)
    *   **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 Usage to Sense:**
    The context uses "copy" in the biological sense (a duplicate or identical version of a gene).
    Sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" (e.g., "the clone was a copy of its ancestor"). This fits the biological meaning of a gene copy perfectly.

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

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "damage" (1 or 2) is used in the context provided, specifically for the word "<t>damaged</t>".

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is <t>damaged</t> early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** "...one copy is damaged early in life..."

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=inflict damage upon | examples=The snow damaged the roof; She damaged the car when she hit the tree (Focuses on the *action* of causing harm.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=suffer or be susceptible to damage | examples=These fine china cups damage easily (Focuses on the *state* of being harmed or vulnerable to harm.)

5.  **Apply Senses to the Context:**
    The context states that a gene copy is "damaged." This implies a state of impairment or harm to the gene structure/function, making it defective.

    *   If Sense 1 were used: It would imply an external agent actively *inflicted* damage upon the gene copy (e.g., "A virus damaged the gene").
    *   If Sense 2 were used: It implies the gene copy is in a state of being harmed, impaired, or susceptible to malfunction (e.g., "The gene copy is damaged/defective").

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "one copy is damaged" describes a state of impairment or vulnerability, aligning with the definition of Sense 2 (suffer or be susceptible to damage).

7.  **Final Check:** The context is about genetic impairment leading to cancer susceptibility. The gene copy is in a state of being damaged/defective. This fits Sense 2.

        14. definition=a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives | synonyms=life sentence (Legal term)

5.  **Match Context to Best Sense:**
    The phrase is "damaged early in life." This implies a developmental stage or a specific period of existence.

    *   Sense 5: "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death) | synonyms=lifetime, lifespan" This fits the idea of a specific period of existence (early life).
    *   Sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time" (This is also plausible, but "early in life" often refers to the developmental period.)

    Let's re-read the context: "...or in whom one copy is damaged early in life..." This suggests a developmental vulnerability.

    Sense 5 defines "life" as a *period* (lifetime/lifespan).
    Sense 6 defines "life" as a *period* (birth to present).

    In the context of genetic vulnerability and developmental damage, Sense 5 (period/span of existence) or Sense 6 (time elapsed) are the strongest candidates. However, Sense 5 is defined as the period *between birth and death*, which encompasses the developmental phase.

    Let's check the examples for Sense 5: "the battery had a short life; he lived a long and happy life." This aligns well with the concept of a span of existence.

    Let's check Sense 6: "I have known him all his life." This is about duration of acquaintance, not necessarily developmental stage.

    Sense 5 is the most robust fit for describing a specific span of existence (early life).

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "lose" in Context:** The sentence implies that the person needs to fail to keep or maintain the other copy of the gene (the functional copy) for the cancer to develop. It suggests a failure to retain or maintain possession/presence of something.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense | examples=She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat** (This fits the idea of failing to maintain possession/retention.)
    *   **2. definition=fail to win | examples=We lost the battle but we won the war** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **3. definition=suffer the loss of a person through death or removal | examples=She lost her husband in the war; The couple that wanted to adopt the child lost her when the biological parents claimed her** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **4. definition=place (something) where one cannot find it again | synonyms=misplace, mislay | examples=I misplaced my eyeglasses** (Related to losing something, but the context is about genetic copies, not physical misplacement.)
    *   **5. definition=miss from one's possessions; lose sight of | examples=I've lost my glasses again!** (Similar to 4, but focuses on missing possessions or sight.)
    *   **6. definition=allow to go out of sight | examples=The detective lost the man he was shadowing after he had to stop at a red light** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **7. definition=fail to make money in a business; make a loss or fail to profit | examples=I lost thousands of dollars on that bad investment!; The company turned a loss after the first year** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **8. definition=fail to get or obtain | examples=I lost the opportunity to spend a year abroad** (Possible, but less precise than 1 in the context of genetic copies.)
    *   **9. definition=retreat | synonyms=fall back, drop off, fall behind, recede** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **10. definition=fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind | synonyms=miss | examples=I missed that remark; She missed his point** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **11. definition=be set at a disadvantage | synonyms=suffer | examples=This author really suffers in translation** (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 ("fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have") best captures the idea that the person needs to fail to maintain the other copy of the gene.

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

Context: The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the <t>other</t> copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

Senses:
1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day; the construction of highways and other public works

4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

reasoning_content:
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 and return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the <t>other</t> copy for a cancer to develop."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "other" in Context:**
    The context discusses tumor-suppressor genes, which are inherited in two copies. For cancer to arise, *both* copies must be impaired. The person is prone to cancer because they only need to lose the *other* copy (the remaining functional copy) for cancer to develop. This "other copy" is distinct from the defective copy and is necessary for the disease to manifest.

4.  **Analyze 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. (Focus: distinction, difference from what is already known/mentioned.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=recently past; examples=the other evening. (Focus: time.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=belonging to the distant past; synonyms=early, former; examples=the early inhabitants of Europe; former generations. (Focus: time/history.)
    *   **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. (Focus: unusualness, difference in quality.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context uses "other copy" to mean the remaining, distinct copy of the gene that is necessary for the outcome (cancer). It emphasizes that this copy is different from the defective one and is crucial for the process.
    *   Sense 1 ("not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied") fits the idea of distinguishing one copy from the other.
    *   Sense 4 ("very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected") also fits the idea of difference, but Sense 1 is more precise when referring to distinct items or copies.

6.  **Final Comparison:** The core meaning here is that the "other copy" is distinct from the first copy. This aligns best with Sense 1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." (The two copies are distinct entities.)

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "develop" in Context:** The sentence describes the process by which cancer arises or manifests, specifically when a person loses the other copy of the tumor-suppressor gene. It implies the progression or emergence of the disease.

4.  **Analyze the Senses of "develop":** I need to match the context's meaning (to come into existence, arise, or progress) with the provided definitions.

    *   1. definition=make something new... (Creation) - No.
    *   2. definition=work out (Evolve, germinate) - Possible, but usually refers to theories or processes.

    *   6. definition=change the use of and make available or usable (Build up) - No.
    *   7. definition=elaborate, as of theories and hypotheses (Explicate, formulate) - No.
    *   8. definition=create by training and teaching (Train, prepare) - No.
    *   9. definition=be gradually disclosed or unfolded; become manifest (Plot developed slowly) - No.
    *   10. definition=grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment (A flower developed on the branch; The country developed into a mighty superpower) - Very strong candidate, emphasizing progression/evolution.
    *   11. definition=become technologically advanced (Modernize) - No.
    *   12. definition=cause to grow and differentiate in ways conforming to its natural development (Make grow) - No.

    *   20. definition=happen (Develops) - Too general.
    *   21. definition=expand in the form of a series (Develop the function in the following form) - No.

5.  **Compare Strong Candidates (5 and 10):**
    *   Context: "...for a cancer to develop." (Focuses on the emergence/coming into being of the disease.)
    *   Sense 5: definition=come into existence; take on form or shape | synonyms=originate, arise, rise, uprise, spring up, grow. (Fits the idea of a disease arising.)
    *   Sense 10: definition=grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment. (Fits the idea of a process of progression leading to malignancy.)

6.  **Final Selection:** Both 5 and 10 are plausible. However, in a biological/medical context, "develop" often implies the progression or unfolding of a condition over time. Sense 10 captures the idea of growth, progress, and evolution through a process, which aligns well with the biological mechanism described (gene damage leading to malignancy). Sense 5 is also correct, but Sense 10 is more specific to the process of disease progression.

    *Let's re-read the context:* "...for a cancer to develop." This is a simple statement of the outcome. Sense 5 ("come into existence") is the most direct fit for the outcome of a disease.

    *Let's check the examples for 5:* "A new religious movement originated in that country; a love that sprang up from friendship." (Fits the idea of coming into existence/arising.)

    *Let's check the examples for 10:* "A flower developed on the branch; The country developed into a mighty superpower." (Fits the idea of growth/evolution over time.)

    Given the context is about a biological process (cancer arising), Sense 10 (growth, progress, evolve) is highly appropriate for describing the progression of the disease.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In medical contexts, "develop" often means the onset or progression of a condition. Sense 10 captures this progression best.

6.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    The phrase is "genetic tests." This usually refers to the science or the material (genes).

    *   If it meant Sense 1 (heredity/family), the context would focus more on family traits or inherited diseases.
    *   If it meant Sense 2 (relating to a gene), this is highly relevant.
    *   If it meant Sense 3 (origin), it would focus on the history of the genes.
    *   If it meant Sense 4 (science of genetics), this is also highly relevant.

    Let's re-examine the options provided for "genetic":
    *   Sense 2: definition=of or relating to or produced by or being a gene | synonyms=genic, genetical | examples=genic combinations; genetic code
    *   Sense 4: definition=of or relating to the science of genetics | synonyms=genetical | examples=genetic research

    In the context of "genetic tests," the term is used to describe tests based on the material of genes (Sense 2) or the field of study (Sense 4). Both are plausible. However, Sense 2 is the most direct link to the biological material being tested (genes). Sense 4 is also very strong, as "genetic tests" are a type of "genetic research/science."

    Let's check the provided synonyms for Sense 2: "genic, genetical."
    Let's check the provided synonyms for Sense 4: "genetical."

    Since the context is about spotting individuals based on their genes/copies, Sense 2 (relating to the gene itself) or Sense 4 (the science) are the best fits.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* When we talk about "genetic tests," we are usually referring to the *science* (Sense 4) or the *material* (Sense 2). If the context were "hereditary traits," it would be Sense 1. Since the context is about genes, Sense 2 is the most precise definition of the *adjective* modifying "tests."

    Let's assume the standard usage where "genetic" modifies "tests" (tests related to genes).

    Sense 2: of or relating to or produced by or being a gene. (Fits well.)
    Sense 4: of or relating to the science of genetics. (Fits well.)

    In many standardized tests, if the context is about the *application* (tests), Sense 4 (the science) is often preferred, but Sense 2 (the object/material) is equally valid.

    Let's look at the provided options again. Since both 2 and 4 are strong, I must choose the best fit. The core subject of the entire passage is the structure and inheritance of genes (tumor-suppressor genes, oncogenes, inherited copies). Therefore, the fundamental meaning relating to the gene itself (Sense 2) is central.

    *Final check:* "genetic tests" = tests related to genes. Sense 2 defines the relationship to the gene.

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

Context: Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be <t>able</t> to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings.

Senses:
1. definition=(usually followed by `to') having the necessary means or skill or know-how or authority to do something | examples=able to swim; she was able to program her computer
2. definition=have the skills and qualifications to do things well | synonyms=capable | examples=able teachers; a capable administrator
3. definition=having inherent physical or mental ability or capacity | examples=able to learn; human beings are able to walk on two feet
4. definition=having a strong healthy body | synonyms=able-bodied | examples=an able seaman; every able-bodied young man served in the army

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The phrase is "will be able to spot." This structure uses "able" as an adjective modifying the subject ("genetic tests") and is followed by the infinitive "to spot."

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=(usually followed by `to') having the necessary means or skill or know-how or authority to do something | examples=able to swim; she was able to program her computer
        *   *Match Check:* The context uses "able to spot." This definition fits perfectly (having the skill/means to perform the action of spotting).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=have the skills and qualifications to do things well | synonyms=capable | examples=able teachers; a capable administrator
        *   *Match Check:* While related, Sense 1 focuses more on the *means* or *ability* to perform the action, whereas Sense 2 focuses on the *quality* of having skills/qualifications. Sense 1 is a better fit for "able to do X."

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=having inherent physical or mental ability or capacity | examples=able to learn; human beings are able to walk on two feet
        *   *Match Check:* This is about inherent capacity (e.g., "He is able to learn"). The context is about the *tests* having the capacity/skill to perform a task, not the inherent ability of the tests themselves.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=having a strong healthy body | synonyms=able-bodied | examples=an able seaman; every able-bodied young man served in the army
        *   *Match Check:* This relates to physical health/stamina. Not relevant here.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct definition, as it describes the tests having the necessary skill or means ("to spot").
