3. sense_key=then%4:02:01:: | definition=at that time | examples=I was young then; prices were lower back then

Analysis:
The phrase is "Back then". This phrase refers to a specific period in the past, contrasting with the present or a later time.
The context discusses the early days of the "two-hit theory" (which goes back to the 1970s), and describes the limitations of scientific tools during that period ("scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes").

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. "subsequently or soon afterward": This implies a sequence of events (e.g., "He left, then he went home"). This doesn't fit "Back then."
2. "in that case or as a consequence": This is a conditional or consequential use (e.g., "If it rains, then we stay inside"). This doesn't fit "Back then."
3. "at that time": This refers to a specific point or period in the past (e.g., "I was young then"). This perfectly matches the meaning of "Back then."

Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best fit.

Context: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no <t>way</t> of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

The phrase is "no way of ferreting out specific genes."
"Ferreting out" means finding or discovering something difficult to locate.
The structure "no way of [doing something]" implies a lack of method, means, or ability to achieve the goal.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: | definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion. (Fits the idea of method/manner.)
2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: | definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency. (This strongly matches "no way of ferreting out" - lack of means/method to achieve the result.)
3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: | definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction. (Physical path, irrelevant here.)
4. sense_key=way%1:26:00:: | definition=the condition of things generally. (Irrelevant.)
5. sense_key=way%1:04:00:: | definition=a course of conduct | synonyms=path, way of life. (Too broad, usually refers to lifestyle/morality.)
6. sense_key=way%1:06:00:: | definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another. (Physical road, irrelevant.)
7. sense_key=way%1:04:02:: | definition=a journey or passage. (Irrelevant.)
8. sense_key=way%1:23:00:: | definition=space for movement. (Irrelevant.)
9. sense_key=way%1:07:02:: | definition=the property of distance in general. (Irrelevant.)
10. sense_key=way%1:09:00:: | definition=doing as one pleases or chooses. (Irrelevant.)
11. sense_key=way%1:09:01:: | definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of'. (Irrelevant.)
12. sense_key=way%1:21:00:: | definition=a portion of something divided into shares. (Irrelevant.)

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1: manner, mode, style.
Sense 2: means, agency.

In the context "no way of ferreting out specific genes," the lack is not just a stylistic failure (manner), but a lack of the necessary *means* or *method* (how the result is obtained). Sense 2, defined as "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" and synonymous with "means," is the most precise fit for the idiomatic usage "no way to [achieve X]".

Therefore, sense_key=way%1:04:01 is the best choice.

18. **sense_key=see%2:31:08:: | definition=deliberate or decide | examples=See whether you can come tomorrow; let's see--which movie should we see tonight?**
    * This is deciding/waiting to see. (Incorrect)

19. **sense_key=see%2:39:11:: | definition=observe as if with an eye | examples=The camera saw the burglary and recorded it**
    * This is observation, which fits.

20. **sense_key=see%2:39:13:: | definition=observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect | synonyms=examine | examples=The customs agent examined the baggage; I must see your passport before you can enter the country**

    * This is interpretation. (Incorrect)

Comparing the best candidates:
* Sense 1 (39:00): perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight. (Directly relates to looking through a microscope.)
* Sense 7 (39:03): see or watch. (General viewing.)
* Sense 19 (39:11): observe as if with an eye. (Observation.)
* Sense 20 (39:13): observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect. (Inspection/Examination.)

The context states they "could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes... under a microscope." This is a fundamental act of visual perception enabled by the instrument. Sense 1, "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight," is the most accurate and general description of this action. While Sense 20 (inspect) is also plausible, Sense 1 captures the core mechanism (sight/perception) which is the primary function described here.

I select Sense 1.

3. sense_key=pair%1:14:00:: | definition=two people considered as a unit
4. sense_key=pair%1:14:02:: | definition=a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value

Analysis:
The context refers to "23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells."
Chromosomes are structures that carry genes. A chromosome pair refers to the two homologous chromosomes inherited from each parent for a specific chromosome type.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. sense_key=pair%1:14:01:: | definition=a set of two similar things considered as a unit | synonyms=brace. This is a general definition of a set of two similar things.
2. sense_key=pair%1:23:00:: | definition=two items of the same kind | synonyms=couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke. This is also a general definition of two similar items.
3. sense_key=pair%1:14:00:: | definition=two people considered as a unit. This is clearly incorrect as chromosomes are not people.
4. sense_key=pair%1:14:02:: | definition=a poker hand with 2 cards of the same value. This is clearly incorrect.

We are left with senses 1 and 2, both of which describe a grouping of two similar items.

Sense 1: "a set of two similar things considered as a unit"
Sense 2: "two items of the same kind"

In the context of genetics ("23 pairs of chromosomes"), the term refers to the homologous chromosomes, which are two items of the same kind (matching pair) that function together as a unit.

Sense 1 ("a set of two similar things considered as a unit") seems slightly more precise for biological structures like chromosomes, emphasizing the functional unit aspect (homologous pair).
Sense 2 ("two items of the same kind") is also accurate but perhaps less specific to the concept of a paired unit.

However, looking at the synonyms provided for Sense 2 (couple, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke), "couple" and "brace" fit well with the idea of paired biological structures.

Let's re-examine the relationship between the senses. Often, in WordNet, senses that are very close in meaning are differentiated by specific usage or hypernymy/hyponymy.

The concept of a homologous pair of chromosomes is fundamentally a "set of two similar things considered as a unit" (Sense 1).

If I must choose the *single best* indexed sense, Sense 1 captures the idea of a structured, functional unit (a pair) better than the more generic "two items of the same kind" (Sense 2), especially when applied to scientific terminology like chromosomes.

Let's check if there is any strong evidence favoring Sense 2. Sense 2 includes "couple," which is a very common synonym for a pair.

Given the context of chromosomes, which are inherently paired structures (homologous pairs), Sense 1 ("a set of two similar things considered as a unit") is the most appropriate description of this biological phenomenon.

Final choice: Sense 1.

There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that <t>contain</t> the genes."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'contain' in this context:** The chromosomes (structures within cells) are described as holding or having the genes within them.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. `contain%2:42:00`: include or contain; have as a component. (Synonyms: incorporate, comprise). *Fits the idea of having components.*
    *   2. `contain%2:42:13`: contain or hold; have within. (Synonyms: hold, bear, carry). *Fits the idea of physical holding/having within.*

    *   6. `contain%2:33:00`: hold back, as of a danger or an enemy. *Incorrect meaning (restraint/stopping).*
4.  **Compare the best candidates (1 and 2):**
    *   The chromosomes *have* the genes within them.
    *   Sense 1 (include or contain; have as a component) is very broad and accurate.
    *   Sense 2 (contain or hold; have within) is also very accurate and emphasizes the physical relationship (genes are *within* the chromosomes).
5.  **Select the best fit:** Both 1 and 2 are strong. Sense 2, "contain or hold; have within," directly addresses the physical relationship described (genes are held within the chromosomal structure). Sense 1 is slightly more abstract ("have as a component"). Given the biological context (chromosomes holding genes), Sense 2 is the most precise fit for the physical relationship.

6.  **Final check:** "The cells that contain the genes" -> The chromosomes (which are in the cells) hold the genes. Sense 2 works perfectly.

Target word: "gross"
Contextual phrase: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

I need to evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **gross%3:00:00:: | definition=before any deductions | examples=gross income** (Financial/Total amount) -> Does not fit "chromosome damage was visible."
2. **gross%5:00:00:general:00 | definition=lacking fine distinctions or detail | examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable** (Coarse, general) -> Possible, but usually relates to lack of precision.
3. **gross%5:00:00:fat:01 | definition=repellently fat | synonyms=porcine | examples=a bald porcine old man** (Fat/Greasy) -> Does not fit "chromosome damage was visible."
4. **gross%5:00:00:visible:00 | definition=visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features) | synonyms=megascopic** (Large enough to see) -> This fits the context of observing physical damage (chromosomes) that is visible, even if the observation is done under a microscope (which implies visibility). The definition specifically mentions visibility of features.
5. **gross%5:00:00:unmitigated:00 | definition=without qualification; used informally as (often pejorative) intensifiers | synonyms=arrant, complete, consummate, double-dyed, everlasting, perfect** (Complete, total) -> This is a strong possibility. "Gross damage" could mean extensive or complete damage.
6. **gross%5:00:00:indecent:00 | definition=conspicuously and tastelessly indecent | synonyms=crude, earthy, vulgar** (Vulgar) -> Does not fit "chromosome damage was visible."
7. **gross%5:00:00:conspicuous:00 | definition=conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible | synonyms=crying, egregious, flagrant, glaring, rank** (Obvious, glaringly bad) -> This is also a strong possibility, suggesting the damage was obvious or striking.

Comparing 4, 5, and 7:

*   **Sense 4 (visible):** Focuses on the physical ability to see something (megascopic). "Gross chromosome damage was visible." This is technically true, but "gross" here likely describes the *nature* of the damage, not just its size relative to the eye.
*   **Sense 5 (unmitigated):** Focuses on totality/extent. "Gross damage" = extensive damage. This is a very common usage in scientific/technical contexts (e.g., gross error, gross pathology).
*   **Sense 7 (conspicuous):** Focuses on being easily noticed or striking. "Gross damage" = obvious damage.

In the context of scientific observation ("under a microscope they could see... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible"), "gross" often means large-scale, extensive, or obvious/striking.

If we look at the synonyms for Sense 7 (egregious, glaring, flagrant), they emphasize the *noticeability* and *severity*.
If we look at the synonyms for Sense 5 (complete, consummate), they emphasize the *extent*.

In pathology and genetics, "gross" often refers to macroscopic or large-scale features, which aligns well with Sense 4 (visible to the naked eye, or large enough to be seen). However, Sense 5 (unmitigated/complete) is also extremely common when describing the *degree* of damage.

Let's re-examine the relationship between Sense 4 and Sense 7.
Sense 4: visible to the naked eye (megascopic).
Sense 7: conspicuously and outrageously bad (glaring).

If the damage is "gross," it is usually large enough to be seen easily (Sense 4), and because it is large/extensive, it is also conspicuous (Sense 7).

Given the phrase "chromosome damage was visible," the meaning of "gross" is likely related to the *scale* or *extent* of the damage, making it easily observable. Sense 4, defined as "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)," captures the idea of large, observable features, which is highly relevant when discussing chromosomes under a microscope.

However, if I consider the common usage of "gross damage" in scientific literature, it often means *extensive* or *severe* damage, which aligns better with Sense 5 (unmitigated/complete) or Sense 7 (conspicuous/egregious).

Let's check the provided examples for Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)." This fits the physical nature of chromosomes.
Let's check the provided examples for Sense 7: "a crying shame; an egregious lie." This fits the severity/obviousness of the damage.

Since the context is about physical observation of genetic defects ("under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes"), the physical scale (Sense 4) is a very strong candidate. The damage must be large enough to be observed as a physical feature.

If I must choose the *single best* fit, and considering the scientific context where "gross" often denotes macroscopic features, Sense 4 is the most precise fit for the physical description implied by the sentence structure.

Final check: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."
If gross = large/macroscopic (Sense 4), then large chromosome damage was visible. (Fits)
If gross = extensive/complete (Sense 5), then extensive chromosome damage was visible. (Fits, but less specific to the physical observation aspect).
If gross = obvious/glaring (Sense 7), then obvious chromosome damage was visible. (Fits).

Sense 4 directly addresses the physical characteristic (size/visibility) that makes the damage observable, which is the core action described in the preceding clause ("under a microscope they could see...").

I will select Sense 4.

Occasionally, gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

Target word: "damage" (specifically "gross chromosome damage").

Let's analyze the context surrounding the target word:
"...but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."

The context is highly scientific, dealing with genetics, chromosomes, and cancer. "Damage" here refers to physical alterations or defects in the chromosomes.

Now let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=damage%1:11:00:: | definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment**
   * This is a general sense of harm or impairment. It fits the biological context (genetic defects, changes for the worse).

2. **sense_key=damage%1:11:01:: | definition=loss of military equipment | synonyms=equipment casualty**
   * Irrelevant.

3. **sense_key=damage%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of damaging something or someone | synonyms=harm, hurt, scathe**
   * This sense focuses on the *act* of causing harm. While the *result* is damage, the noun form "damage" here refers to the *state* of being harmed (the visible alteration). However, this sense is often used broadly for physical harm.

4. **sense_key=damage%1:21:00:: | definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | synonyms=price, terms**
   * Irrelevant.

5. **sense_key=damage%1:04:01:: | definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right | synonyms=wrong, legal injury**
   * Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (Impairment/Harm). This fits the biological context of genetic/chromosomal changes.
Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone" (The action/result of harm).

In the phrase "gross chromosome damage," "damage" refers to the observable state of alteration or impairment of the chromosome structure. Both Sense 1 and Sense 3 relate to harm/impairment.

Sense 1 ("the occurrence of a change for the worse") seems slightly more precise for describing a biological state (a change in the chromosome structure) than Sense 3 ("the act of damaging something or someone"), which leans more towards the verb or the immediate action.

However, let's re-examine the provided synonyms and definitions.
Sense 1: definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment
Sense 3: definition=the act of damaging something or someone | synonyms=harm, hurt, scathe

In common usage, when referring to physical or structural defects (like in biology or engineering), "damage" is often categorized under the general concept of "harm" or "impairment." Since the context is about genetic/chromosomal defects, Sense 1 (impairment/change for the worse) is the most appropriate fit for describing the state of the chromosome.

Let's select Sense 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "visible" in a given context.
The context is: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was <t>visible</t>."
The target lemma is "visible".

Candidate senses:
1. `visible%3:00:00`: capable of being seen; or open to easy view (synonyms: seeable; examples: a visible object; visible stars)
2. `visible%5:00:00:overt`: obvious to the eye (examples: a visible change of expression)
3. `visible%5:00:00:available`: present and easily available (examples: the cash on hand is adequate for current needs; emergency police were on hand in case of trouble)

Analysis of the context:
The sentence discusses "gross chromosome damage" being "visible". The preceding sentence mentions that scientists could "see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes" under a microscope.

Evaluation of senses:
1. `visible%3:00:00`: "capable of being seen; or open to easy view". This fits perfectly. Chromosome damage, when observed under a microscope, is something that is capable of being seen.
2. `visible%5:00:00:overt`: "obvious to the eye". While related, this sense often implies something striking or immediately apparent without needing specific tools (like a change of expression). Here, the visibility is achieved *through* the microscope, making sense 1 (capable of being seen) a more precise fit for the physical observation.
3. `visible%5:00:00:available`: "present and easily available". This sense relates to availability (e.g., resources, information) and is clearly incorrect in this biological context.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit, as the damage is physically observable under the microscope.

The required output format is a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Dr. Knudson <t>found</t> that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."
2.  **Determine the meaning of 'found' in this context:** Dr. Knudson (a scientist/researcher) concluded or determined a specific fact (that children inherited a damaged chromosome) based on his observations/investigations.
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   1. come upon, as if by accident; meet with (Accidental encounter - unlikely)
    *   2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of (Detect, observe, discover, notice - Highly relevant. He determined a fact.)
    *   3. come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost (Locating a lost item - Unlikely)
    *   4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study (Determine, find out, ascertain - Highly relevant. This fits the scientific context perfectly.)
    *   5. come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds (Feeling/believing - Unlikely)
    *   6. perceive or be contemporaneous with (Witness, see - Possible, but less precise than determining a fact.)
    *   7. get something or somebody for a specific purpose (Acquiring/obtaining - Unlikely)
    *   8. make a discovery, make a new finding (Discover - Relevant, but sense 4 is more specific to the *process* of scientific determination.)
    *   9. make a discovery (Discover - Similar to 8.)
    *   10. obtain through effort or management (Acquiring resources - Unlikely)
    *   11. decide on and make a declaration about (Ruling/judging - Unlikely)
    *   12. receive a specified treatment (Abstract reception - Unlikely)
    *   13. perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place (Self-perception - Unlikely)

    *   15. succeed in reaching; arrive at (Reaching a target - Unlikely)
    *   16. accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation (Self-discovery - Unlikely)

4.  **Compare the best candidates (2 and 4):**
    *   Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" (General discovery/determination).
    *   Sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" (Specific determination based on scientific methodology).

5.  **Select the best fit:** Since the context involves a scientist (Dr. Knudson) making a conclusion ("found that some children... had inherited...") based on scientific investigation (implied by the preceding discussion of chromosomes and microscopic viewing), Sense 4 is the most precise and contextually appropriate definition.

6.  **Final check:** "Dr. Knudson established/determined that some children... had inherited..." This matches the meaning perfectly.

Target lemma: child
Target surface form: children
Context:
He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some <t>children</t> with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "children" (plural of "child") based on the provided context.

Context: "Dr. Knudson found that some <t>children</t> with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

Target word: children

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=child%1:18:00:: | definition=a young person of either sex | synonyms=kid, youngster, minor, shaver, nipper, small fry | examples=she writes books for children; they're just kids
2. sense_key=child%1:18:01:: | definition=a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age | synonyms=kid | examples=they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college

4. sense_key=child%1:18:07:: | definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel

Analysis:
The context discusses a genetic theory ("two-hit theory"), eye cancer, chromosomes, and inheritance patterns. The word "children" refers to individuals who possess this eye cancer and have inherited specific genetic damage.

1. sense_key=child%1:18:00 (young person): This is plausible, as the individuals are likely young enough to be studied in this context, but it is too broad.
2. sense_key=child%1:18:01 (human offspring): This refers to human descendants/offspring. Since the context is about inherited disease and genetic traits in human subjects, this sense fits well.
3. sense_key=child%1:18:06 (immature childish person): This focuses on immaturity, which is not the primary focus of the sentence (the focus is on the genetic condition).
4. sense_key=child%1:18:07 (member of a clan/tribe): This is clearly incorrect.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1 emphasizes youth ("young person").
Sense 2 emphasizes relationship ("human offspring").

In the context of medical research discussing inherited genetic diseases, "children" refers to the affected individuals who are the offspring of parents (who may or may not have the disease). While they are likely young, the core meaning being invoked is that they are human subjects whose genetic makeup is being analyzed, fitting the definition of "human offspring." Sense 2 is the most precise fit for describing the subjects of a genetic study involving inheritance.

Therefore, sense_key=child%1:18:01 is the best choice.

Analysis:
The context discusses "eye cancer," "genes," "chromosomes," "tumor," and "microscope." This is a medical/biological context.
"Eye cancer" refers to cancer originating in the eye organ.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. sense_key=eye%1:08:00:: | definition=the organ of sight. This perfectly matches the context of "eye cancer."
2. sense_key=eye%1:09:00:: | definition=good discernment. This is metaphorical and irrelevant to cancer.
3. sense_key=eye%1:09:01:: | definition=attention to what is seen. This is also metaphorical and irrelevant.
4. sense_key=eye%1:15:00:: | definition=central area. Irrelevant.
5. sense_key=eye%1:06:00:: | definition=a small hole or loop. Irrelevant.

The best fit is sense 1.

Sense 1: "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division..." This matches the medical/biological context perfectly. The phrase "eye cancer" refers to a type of malignant tumor in the eye.
Sense 2, 3, 4: These relate to astrology/constellations. They are irrelevant to the discussion of genes and tumors.
Sense 5: This is a biological genus name (Cancridae), which is unrelated to the disease context.

4. sense_key=copy%1:10:02:: | definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses genetics, chromosomes, and inheritance. Specifically, it mentions inheriting a "damaged copy of chromosome No. 13".

Evaluation of senses:
1. sense_key=copy%1:10:00 (reproduction of a written record): Irrelevant. Chromosomes are not written records.
2. sense_key=copy%1:06:00 (a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing): This fits the biological concept of a genetic copy or a segment of DNA/chromosome being identical (or damaged) relative to the original. The context refers to a segment of chromosome 13 being inherited.
3. sense_key=copy%1:10:01 (matter to be printed): Irrelevant.
4. sense_key=copy%1:10:02 (material suitable for a journalistic account): Irrelevant.

The best fit is sense 2, where "copy" means an identical or similar reproduction, which applies perfectly to genetic material (a copy of a chromosome).

The required output format is a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 2 corresponds to index 2.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a <t>parent</t> who had had the disease."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding information:** The text discusses eye cancer, genes, chromosomes, inheritance, and children. The word "parent" is used in the context of genetic inheritance ("inherited a damaged copy... from a parent").
3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian." (Focuses on human/biological progenitors and guardians).
    *   Sense 2: "an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained." (Focuses on reproduction in a broader biological sense, often used for plants or general organisms).
4.  **Determine the best fit:**
    *   The context explicitly links the "parent" to the inheritance of a specific genetic material (chromosome No. 13) by a child who has eye cancer.
    *   Sense 1 (father/mother/begetter) perfectly matches the role of a biological progenitor in human genetics.
    *   Sense 2 is too broad, although technically correct in a biological sense, Sense 1 is much more specific and relevant to the human medical/genetic context provided.
5.  **Select the best sense:** Sense 1.
6.  **Format the output:** The instruction requires returning only a JSON object with the sense index. Since the provided candidates are numbered 1 and 2, and I chose Sense 1, the index is 1. (Wait, the prompt structure implies the final output should be a JSON object like `{"sense_index": 3}`, suggesting I need to map my choice to a numerical index if the candidates were numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. Since I only have two candidates, I will use the index corresponding to my choice.)

*Self-Correction/Refinement:* The prompt asks me to return a JSON object exactly like `{"sense_index": 3}`. I chose Sense 1. Therefore, the index is 1.

*Final check:* Context is human genetics/inheritance. Sense 1 is "a father or mother; one who begets...". This is the correct fit. Index = 1.

Context:
The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could <t>actually</t> see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer.

Context: "Under a microscope he could <t>actually</t> see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

Target word: actually

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=actually%4:02:01:: | definition=in actual fact | synonyms=really | examples=to be nominally but not actually independent; no one actually saw the shark
2. sense_key=actually%4:02:00:: | definition=used to imply that one would expect the fact to be the opposite of that stated; surprisingly | synonyms=in reality | examples=you may actually be doing the right thing by walking out; she actually spoke Latin

Analysis:
The sentence is: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

The context describes a scientific observation (looking at chromosomes under a microscope). The word "actually" modifies the verb "see."

Let's evaluate the senses:

1. **in actual fact / really**: This sense suggests confirmation of a reality. "He could actually see" means that the observation was possible or true, confirming the existence of the missing piece. This fits well.
2. **surprisingly / in reality**: This sense implies contrast or surprise. While the observation might be surprising, the primary function here seems to be confirming the possibility of seeing it, rather than emphasizing surprise.
3. **at the present moment**: This is temporal and doesn't fit the meaning of confirming an observation.
4. **as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis**: This is a general function of "actually." It emphasizes the ability or the fact of seeing it.

Comparing 1 and 4:
Sense 4 ("add slight emphasis") is very broad.
Sense 1 ("in actual fact") is more specific to confirming the reality of the observation.

In this scientific context, "he could actually see" means that the observation was physically possible and verifiable, confirming the hypothesis or the expected state of the sample. This aligns strongly with "in actual fact" (Sense 1).

Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 1: "no one actually saw the shark." Here, "actually" confirms the fact of the sighting.
In the target sentence: "he could actually see..." Here, "actually" confirms the fact of the visibility.

Sense 1 seems the most precise fit for confirming the reality of the visual observation.

Final choice: Sense 1.
