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

Context: Medical scientists are starting to uncover a handful of genes which, if damaged, unleash the chaotic growth of cells that characterizes cancer. Scientists say the discovery of these genes in recent months is painting a new and startling picture of how cancer develops. An emerging understanding of the genes is expected to produce an array of new strategies for future cancer treatment and prevention. That is for the future. Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an <t>otherwise</t> healthy individual is likely to get cancer. "It's a super-exciting set of discoveries, "says Bert Vogelstein, a Johns Hopkins University researcher who has just found a gene pivotal to the triggering of colon cancer.

Senses:
1. definition=in other respects or ways | examples=he is otherwise normal; the funds are not otherwise available
2. definition=in another and different manner | synonyms=differently, other than | examples=very soon you will know differently; she thought otherwise

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "otherwise" (1 or 2) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an <t>otherwise</t> healthy individual is likely to get cancer."

3.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** "...predict whether an *otherwise* healthy individual is likely to get cancer."

4.  **Determine the Meaning Needed:** The sentence is contrasting the state of being "healthy" with the state of getting cancer. The word "otherwise" is modifying "healthy." It implies a condition that is *not* the usual or expected condition (i.e., not having cancer).

5.  **Evaluate Sense 1:**
    *   Definition: "in other respects or ways"
    *   Example: "he is otherwise normal" (meaning: he is normal in other aspects/ways).
    *   *Application Check:* Does "otherwise healthy" mean "healthy in other respects"? This fits the structure of the example.

6.  **Evaluate Sense 2:**
    *   Definition: "in another and different manner"
    *   Synonyms: "differently, other than"
    *   Example: "very soon you will know differently" (meaning: you will know in a different manner).
    *   *Application Check:* Does "otherwise healthy" mean "healthy in another and different manner"? This doesn't fit the context of predicting a medical outcome based on a current state.

7.  **Conclusion:** The context uses "otherwise" to mean "in other respects" or "normally/typically," contrasting the current state (healthy) with the potential negative outcome (cancer). This aligns with Sense 1.

8.  **Final Check:** The structure "whether an [adjective] individual is likely to [negative outcome]" requires the adjective to describe the baseline state. "Otherwise healthy" means "healthy in all other respects" or "typically healthy." This strongly supports Sense 1.

Context: "Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an otherwise healthy individual is likely to <t>get</t> cancer."

I need to analyze the meaning of "get" in this specific sentence: "...is likely to get cancer."

1.  **Analyze the phrase "get cancer".** This means to develop or contract the disease.

2.  **Review the senses of "get":**

    *   1. definition=come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire | (Doesn't fit)
    *   2. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go | (Possible, but usually implies a change of state, e.g., getting angry.)
    *   3. definition=cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition | synonyms=let, have | (Doesn't fit)
    *   4. definition=receive a specified treatment (abstract) | synonyms=receive, find, obtain, incur | (Doesn't fit)
    *   5. definition=reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | synonyms=arrive, come | (Doesn't fit)
    *   6. definition=go or come after and bring or take back | synonyms=bring, convey, fetch | (Doesn't fit)
    *   7. definition=go through (mental or physical states or experiences) | synonyms=experience, receive, have | (Possible, but usually implies experiencing something, e.g., get an idea.)
    *   8. definition=take vengeance on or get even | synonyms=pay back, pay off, fix | (Doesn't fit)
    *   9. definition=achieve a point or goal | synonyms=have, make | (Doesn't fit)
    *   10. definition=cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner | synonyms=induce, stimulate, cause, have, make | (Doesn't fit)
    *   11. definition=succeed in catching or seizing, especially after a chase | synonyms=catch, capture | (Doesn't fit)
    *   12. definition=come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) | synonyms=grow, develop, produce, acquire | (This relates to developing a condition/disease.)
    *   13. definition=be stricken by an illness, fall victim to an illness | synonyms=contract, take | (This is a very strong candidate, as "get cancer" means to contract/fall victim to cancer.)
    *   14. definition=communicate with a place or person... | (Doesn't fit)
    *   15. definition=give certain properties to something | (Doesn't fit)
    *   16. definition=move into a desired direction of discourse | (Doesn't fit)
    *   17. definition=grasp with the mind or develop an understanding of | (Doesn't fit)
    *   18. definition=attract and fix | (Doesn't fit)
    *   19. definition=reach with a blow or hit in a particular spot | (Doesn't fit)
    *   20. definition=reach by calculation | (Doesn't fit)
    *   21. definition=acquire as a result of some effort or action | (Doesn't fit)
    *   22. definition=purchase | (Doesn't fit)
    *   23. definition=perceive by hearing | (Doesn't fit)
    *   24. definition=suffer from the receipt of | (Too general)
    *   25. definition=receive as a retribution or punishment | (Doesn't fit)
    *   26. definition=leave immediately... | (Doesn't fit)
    *   27. definition=reach and board | (Doesn't fit)
    *   28. definition=irritate | (Doesn't fit)
    *   29. definition=evoke an emotional response | (Doesn't fit)
    *   30. definition=apprehend and reproduce accurately | (Doesn't fit)
    *   31. definition=earn or achieve a base by being walked by the pitcher | (Doesn't fit)
    *   32. definition=overcome or destroy | (Doesn't fit)
    *   33. definition=be a mystery or bewildering to | (Doesn't fit)
    *   34. definition=take the first step or steps in carrying out an action | (Doesn't fit)
    *   35. definition=undergo (as of injuries and illnesses) | synonyms=suffer, sustain, have | (This is also a strong candidate, meaning to experience or be subjected to an illness.)
    *   36. definition=make children | (Doesn't fit)

3.  **Compare the strongest candidates (13 and 35):**
    *   Context: "...is likely to get cancer."
    *   Sense 13: definition=be stricken by an illness, fall victim to an illness | synonyms=contract, take | examples=He got AIDS; She came down with pneumonia. (Perfect fit for developing a disease.)
    *   Sense 35: definition=undergo (as of injuries and illnesses) | synonyms=suffer, sustain, have | examples=She suffered a fracture in the accident; He had an insulin shock after eating three candy bars. (Also fits, meaning to experience the illness.)

Both 13 and 35 are highly relevant. However, "get" in the context of diseases often aligns closely with "contract" or "fall victim to." Sense 13 explicitly uses the phrase "be stricken by an illness, fall victim to an illness."

Let's re-read the context: "...is likely to get cancer." This is a prediction of developing the disease.

Sense 13: "He got AIDS." (Past tense of getting sick/contracting the illness.)
Sense 35: "She suffered a fracture." (Undergoing an injury.)

Since cancer is an illness, Sense 13 is the most precise definition for "get" in this medical context.

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

Context: Medical scientists are starting to uncover a handful of genes which, if damaged, unleash the chaotic growth of cells that characterizes cancer. Scientists say the discovery of these genes in recent months is painting a new and startling picture of how cancer develops. An emerging understanding of the genes is expected to produce an array of new strategies for future cancer treatment and prevention. That is for the future. Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an otherwise healthy individual is likely to get cancer. "It's a super-exciting set of <t>discoveries</t>, "says Bert Vogelstein, a Johns Hopkins University researcher who has just found a gene pivotal to the triggering of colon cancer. "Only a decade ago cancer was a black box about which we knew nothing at the molecular level.

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

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** The target is `<t>discoveries</t>`. This is a plural noun derived from the verb "discover."

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

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    The context uses "discoveries" in the phrase: "It's a super-exciting set of discoveries."
    *   The discoveries are the genes, the understanding of the genes, and the new tests based on them.

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering." (This describes the *process*.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "something that is discovered." (This describes the *result* or the *thing*.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find." (This describes a specific type of discovery/insight.)

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    The sentence refers to a "set of discoveries." These discoveries are the genes and the new understanding/findings derived from them.
    *   Sense 2 ("something that is discovered") is a very direct fit for the noun "discoveries."
    *   Sense 1 ("the act of discovering something") is the verb form, though nouns often relate back to the act.
    *   Sense 3 ("a productive insight") is also plausible, as finding genes is a major insight.

    However, in the context of scientific breakthroughs (finding genes, painting a new picture), "discoveries" primarily refers to the *things* that have been found.

    Let's re-read the context surrounding the word: "It's a super-exciting set of discoveries..." The set consists of the genes and the resulting knowledge. This aligns best with Sense 2: "something that is discovered."

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

3.  **Analyze the Target Usage:** The structure is: "[Person] says [statement]." This usage typically involves reporting what someone stated or expressing their opinion/finding.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses of "say":**

    *   **1. definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you** (This involves expressing something verbally, often reporting speech.)
    *   **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 involves reporting information or maintaining a claim.)
    *   **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?** (Involves hypothesizing.)

    *   **11. definition=indicate | examples=The clock says noon** (Involves showing/indicating.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The sentence is: "It's a super-exciting set of discoveries, 'says' Bert Vogelstein..."
    Bert Vogelstein is a researcher making a statement about the discoveries. This is a form of reporting or stating an opinion/finding.

    *   Sense 1 (express in words/state, tell) fits well for reporting speech.
    *   Sense 2 (report or maintain) fits well for reporting findings/claims.
    *   Sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement; declare) fits well if the focus is on the opinion.

    In journalistic or scientific contexts, when a person is quoted making a finding or observation, Sense 1 (expressing in words/stating) or Sense 2 (reporting/maintaining a claim) are the most common fits.

    Let's re-read the definitions:
    Sense 1: definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell
    Sense 2: definition=report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver

    Since Vogelstein is reporting his discovery/finding, Sense 2 (report or maintain) is highly appropriate, but Sense 1 (express in words/state) is also very close, especially when used in direct quotation.

    However, the structure "X says Y" is fundamentally about *expressing* something verbally. Sense 1 captures the core function of using "say" to convey information verbally.

    Let's check the examples for 1 and 2 again.
    1: He said that he wanted to marry her. (Reporting speech)
    2: He alleged that he was the victim of a crime. (Reporting a claim/allegation)

    The context is reporting a finding/opinion. Sense 1 is the most general and direct fit for the act of verbal expression used in quotation.

3.  **Analyze the Target Usage:** The key phrase is: "who has just found a gene pivotal to the triggering of colon cancer."

4.  **Evaluate the Senses of "find":**

    *   **1. definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with:** (Synonyms: happen, chance, bump, encounter) -> *Does not fit the context of a scientific discovery.*
    *   **2. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of:** (Synonyms: detect, observe, discover, notice) -> *Fits the context of finding a gene.*
    *   **3. definition=come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost:** (Synonyms: regain) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **4. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study:** (Synonyms: determine, find out, ascertain) -> *Could apply to the process, but the immediate action is finding the gene.*
    *   **5. definition=come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds:** (Synonyms: feel) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **6. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with:** (Synonyms: witness, see) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **7. definition=get something or somebody for a specific purpose:** (Synonyms: line up, get hold, come up) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **8. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding:** (Synonyms: discover) -> *Very strong fit. Finding a gene is a discovery/finding.*
    *   **9. definition=make a discovery:** (Synonyms: discover) -> *Very strong fit. Finding a gene is a discovery.*
    *   **10. definition=obtain through effort or management:** (Examples: She found the time and energy...) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **11. definition=decide on and make a declaration about:** (Synonyms: rule) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **12. definition=receive a specified treatment (abstract):** (Synonyms: receive, get, obtain, incur) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **13. definition=perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place:** -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **14. definition=get or find back; recover the use of:** -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **15. definition=succeed in reaching; arrive at:** -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **16. definition=accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation:** -> *Does not fit.*

5.  **Compare Strong Candidates (8 and 9):**
    *   8. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding (synonyms=discover)
    *   9. definition=make a discovery (synonyms=discover)

    Both 8 and 9 mean essentially the same thing (making a discovery). Since the context describes the identification of a new gene, both are highly appropriate. In many standardized tests, if two options are nearly identical, the most direct synonym is preferred. Both 8 and 9 are excellent fits.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* The context is about a scientist identifying a gene. This is a classic "discovery." Both 8 and 9 capture this meaning perfectly. I will select the most direct match.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 9 (make a discovery) or Sense 8 (make a discovery, make a new finding). Since they are functionally identical in this context, either is correct, but I must choose one number. I will choose 9 as it is a direct match for the core action described.

    *   Is it height above ground (4)? No.
    *   Is it a flat surface (6)? No.
    *   Is it a structure/floor (8)? No.
    *   Is it a layer/stratum/depth (7)? Possible, but "molecular" usually implies a specific scale of organization.
    *   Is it a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality (1)? Yes, "molecular level" describes the scale or degree of organization/understanding.
    *   Is it a relative position or degree of value in a graded group (2)? Less likely.
    *   Is it a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process (3)? Possible, but 1 is a better fit for describing a scale of understanding.

    The phrase "molecular level" refers to the scale or degree of organization/complexity. Sense 1 ("a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality") fits this meaning best, as it describes where something sits on a scale of understanding or complexity.

6.  **Final Check:** The context is about scientific understanding and complexity ("molecular level"). Sense 1 defines "level" as a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality. This is the most appropriate fit.
