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

Context: "As a result, organisms have a hard time telling these elements apart." "But arsenic is different enough that it doesn't work as well as phosphorus, so it gets in there and sort of gums up the works of our biochemical machinery," explained Anbar. The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common. Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work. Arsenic was more common in the early <t>times</t> on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it. "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth," said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team.

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

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Arsenic was more common in the early <t>times</t> on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** "early times".

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=a more or less definite period of time now or previously present | examples=it was a sign of the times** (Fits "early times" as a defined historical period.)
    *   **2. definition=an arithmetic operation...** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **3. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | synonyms=time, clip | examples=this time he succeeded; he called four times** (Does not fit "early times" as a period.)
    *   **4. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | synonyms=time | examples=take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish** (Does not fit the historical context.)
    *   **5. definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | synonyms=time | examples=he waited a long time; the time of year for planting** (Could potentially fit, but "early times" usually implies a historical era, which is often more definite than indefinite.)
    *   **6. definition=a suitable moment | synonyms=time | examples=it is time to go** (Does not fit.)
    *   **7. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past | synonyms=time** (Too philosophical/abstract for the usage here.)
    *   **8. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | synonyms=time | examples=he had a time holding back the tears; they had a good time together** (Does not fit.)
    *   **9. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock | synonyms=clock time, time | examples=do you know what time it is?; the time is 10 o'clock** (Does not fit.)
    *   **10. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required... | synonyms=fourth dimension, time** (Physics/math context, irrelevant.)
    *   **11. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration | synonyms=meter, metre, time** (Irrelevant.)
    *   **12. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | synonyms=prison term, sentence, time | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months; his sentence was 5 to 10 years** (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "early times" refers to a specific, defined historical period. Sense 1 matches this definition best.

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "Earth":**
    The phrase is "early times on Earth" and "early Earth." This refers to the planet where life formed.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on | synonyms=world, globe | examples=the Earth moves around the sun; he sailed around the world
        *   *Match:* This definition directly refers to the planet.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the loose soft material that makes up a large part of the land surface | synonyms=ground | examples=they dug into the earth outside the church
        *   *Match:* Refers to soil/ground, not the planet.

The research was supported by NASA, the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.

Senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion | examples=her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency | examples=a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction

8. definition=space for movement | synonyms=room, elbow room | examples=room to pass; make way for
9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow; he went a long ways
10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way
11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing
12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The sentence containing the target word is: "It does suggest that that there could be other <t>ways</t> to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth," said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team.

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "ways":**
    The phrase is "other ways to form life." This implies alternative methods, paths, or modes of achieving something (forming life).

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion | examples=her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking** (Focuses on method/manner.)
    *   **2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency | examples=a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction** (Focuses on means/method to achieve a goal.)
    *   **3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction | examples=he looked the other direction; didn't know the way home** (Focuses on physical path/direction.)
    *   **4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is; I felt the same way** (Focuses on state/condition.)
    *   **5. definition=a course of conduct | synonyms=path, way of life | examples=the path of virtue; we went our separate ways** (Focuses on a long-term path or lifestyle.)
    *   **6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out** (Focuses on a physical road/path.)
    *   **7. definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way** (Focuses on the act of traveling.)
    *   **8. definition=space for movement | synonyms=room, elbow room | examples=room to pass; make way for** (Focuses on physical space.)
    *   **9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow; he went a long ways** (Focuses on distance.)
    *   **10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way** (Focuses on choice/will.)
    *   **11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing** (Focuses on category/obstacle.)
    *   **12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways** (Focuses on division.)

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    The context is about "ways to form life" (alternative methods/approaches).

    *   Sense 1 (how something is done/manner) fits well.
    *   Sense 2 (how a result is obtained/means) fits very well.
    *   Sense 5 (course of conduct/path) is plausible but less direct than 1 or 2.

    The phrase "ways to form life" strongly suggests alternative *methods* or *means* to achieve the goal of forming life.

    *   Sense 1: "other ways (methods) to form life." (Strong fit)
    *   Sense 2: "other means (methods) to form life." (Strong fit)

    Let's re-read the options. Both 1 and 2 are strong candidates. However, in scientific/conceptual contexts like this, "ways" often refers to methods or approaches.

    *   Sense 1: definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion. (Focuses on the process/method.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency. (Focuses on the tool/method used to achieve the result.)

    Since the context is about *how* life can be formed (the process/method), Sense 1 is highly appropriate. Sense 2 is also acceptable, but Sense 1 captures the idea of "method" or "mode" most directly.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1 defines "ways" as "how something is done or how it happens," which aligns perfectly with "other ways to form life."

5.  **Match Context to Best Sense:**
    The context discusses:
    *   "form life" (origin/creation of living things)
    *   "how life formed" (evolution/origin)

    *   Sense 4: definition=the condition of living or the state of being alive | synonyms=animation, living, aliveness. This fits the scientific/biological context of "life forms" and "how life formed."
    *   Sense 11: definition=the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones. This is also highly relevant, as the text is discussing the possibility of *life* existing (a phenomenon).

    Let's re-read the specific usage: "there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth." This refers to the existence and formation of living entities. Sense 4 ("the condition of living or the state of being alive") is the most fundamental definition of the state of being alive, which is what the researchers are speculating about.

    Sense 10 ("living things collectively") is too specific (the text is talking about *forms* and *formation*, not just the collective).
    Sense 11 is about the *distinction* of life, which is related but Sense 4 is about the *state* of life itself.

    Sense 4 is the strongest fit for the general concept of "life" in a biological/evolutionary context.

    *   8. definition=a living person | examples=his heroism saved a life (Focuses on a *person*.)
    *   9. definition=animation and energy in action or expression | synonyms=liveliness, spirit, sprightliness | examples=it was a heavy play and the actors tried in vain to give life to it (Focuses on *energy/spirit*.)
    *   10. definition=living things collectively | examples=the oceans are teeming with life (Focuses on *organisms*.)
    *   11. definition=the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones | examples=there is no life on the moon (Focuses on the *distinguishing property*.)
    *   12. definition=an account of the series of events making up a person's life | synonyms=biography, life story, life history (Focuses on a *narrative*.)
    *   13. definition=a motive for living | examples=pottery was his life (Focuses on *motive*.)
    *   14. definition=a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives | synonyms=life sentence | examples=he got life for killing the guard (Focuses on *punishment*.)

5.  **Match the Usage to the Best Sense:**
    The context discusses "how life formed." This relates to the origin or genesis of living things.

    *   Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones." (This is a strong candidate, as the discussion is about the *formation* of life.)
    *   Sense 10: "living things collectively." (Less likely, as it refers to the formation process, not just the collection.)
    *   Sense 4: "the condition of living or the state of being alive." (Plausible, but 11 is more specific to the scientific context of "formation.")

    Let's re-read the surrounding text: "...there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth." The discussion is about the *process* or *origin* of life. Sense 11 defines what *is* life (the distinguishing phenomenon), which is central to the concept of "how life formed."

    Let's check Sense 11 again: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones." This fits the scientific discussion about the origin of life (how non-living things become living).

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 11 is the most appropriate definition for "life" in the context of discussing its formation and distinction from non-living matter.

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

Context: "But arsenic is different enough that it doesn't work as well as phosphorus, so it gets in there and sort of gums up the works of our biochemical machinery," explained Anbar. The researchers collected the bacteria known as GFAJ-1 and exposed it to increasing concentrations of arsenic, which it was able to adapt to and grow. The microbe does grow better on phosphorus, but showing that it can live with arsenic instead raises the possibility that a life form using arsenic could occur naturally, either elsewhere on Earth or on another planet or moon where arsenic is more common. Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work. Arsenic was more common in the early times on Earth, she said, so researchers have speculated that early life forms might have used it. "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early <t>Earth</t>," said Foster, who was not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team. The research was supported by NASA, the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.

6.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    The usage is "not part of [a team]." This aligns best with Sense 1 (inclusion/component) or Sense 8 (share/portion/group membership).

    *   Sense 1: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself" (Inclusion/Component) -> Fits the context of team membership.
    *   Sense 8: "he wanted his share in cash" (Share/Portion) -> Less fitting for team membership, more fitting for financial division.

    Sense 1 is the strongest fit for being a member or component of a group.

7.  **Final Check:** The context uses "part of" to mean membership in a research team. Sense 1 defines "part" as "something determined in relation to something that includes it" and lists synonyms like "portion, component part, constituent." This is the correct sense.

    *   1. definition=a special situation | examples=this thing has got to end; it is a remarkable thing (No, "things" here are not situations.)
    *   2. definition=an action | examples=how could you do such a thing? (No.)
    *   3. definition=a special abstraction | examples=a thing of the spirit; things of the heart (Possible, but usually refers to abstract concepts, not specific poll findings.)
    *   4. definition=an artifact | examples=how does this thing work? (No.)
    *   5. definition=an event | examples=a funny thing happened on the way to the... (No.)
    *   6. definition=a vaguely specified concern | synonyms=matter, affair (Possible, but usually refers to issues/concerns, not the specific findings themselves.)
    *   7. definition=a statement regarded as an object | examples=to say the same thing in other terms; how can you say such a thing? (No.)
    *   8. definition=an entity that is not named specifically | examples=I couldn't tell what the thing was (No, the things are clearly identified as "Latin America's fairly sunny mood" and another related thing.)
    *   9. definition=any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence | examples=the thing I like about her is ... (This fits well. "Mood" and "support levels" are attributes/qualities that exist in the results.)
    *   10. definition=a special objective | examples=the thing is to stay in bounds (No.)
    *   11. definition=a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion (No.)
    *   12. definition=a separate and self-contained entity (Possible, but less precise than 9.)

6.  **Refine the Choice (Focusing on Senses 9 and 12):**
    The text says: "Two related things stand out... The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood."
    "Mood" is an attribute or quality. Sense 9 ("any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence") is a very strong fit.

    Sense 12 ("a separate and self-contained entity") is also plausible, as the two findings are separate entities. However, Sense 9 describes *what* those entities are (attributes/qualities), which is more descriptive of the context (poll results/moods).

7.  **Final Check:** The context is about identifying key findings/qualities in a poll. Sense 9 defines "thing" as an attribute or quality. This is the most accurate fit.
