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

Sentence: There is evidence that if people inherit defective <t>versions</t> of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families.

Senses:
1. definition=an interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint | examples=his version of the fight was different from mine
2. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | examples=an experimental version of the night fighter
3. definition=a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form | examples=the play is an adaptation of a short novel
4. definition=a written communication in a second language having the same meaning as the written communication in a first language
5. definition=a mental representation of the meaning or significance of something
6. definition=manual turning of a fetus in the uterus (usually to aid delivery)

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word:** The word is "versions" (plural of "version").
2.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "There is evidence that if people inherit defective <t>versions</t> of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "versions" in this context:** The word "versions" refers to different forms or types of genes. Since genes are biological entities, "versions" here must mean variations or specific forms of the gene.
4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=an interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint | examples=his version of the fight was different from mine** (Relates to opinions/accounts. Incorrect.)
    *   **2. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | examples=an experimental version of the night fighter** (Relates to variations or different types of something. This fits the concept of different forms/types of genes. A gene variant is a specific version of the gene.)
    *   **3. definition=a written work (as a novel) that has been recast in a new form | examples=the play is an adaptation of a short novel** (Relates to literature/adaptations. Incorrect.)
    *   **4. definition=a written communication in a second language having the same meaning as the written communication in a first language** (Relates to translation. Incorrect.)
    *   **5. definition=a mental representation of the meaning or significance of something** (Relates to cognition/ideas. Incorrect.)
    *   **6. definition=manual turning of a fetus in the uterus (usually to aid delivery)** (Relates to obstetrics. Incorrect.)

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 2, "something a little different from others of the same type," accurately describes how genetic variants (versions of genes) function in this biological context.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are <t>especially</t> prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "especially" in context:**
    *   The sentence is discussing a group (people who inherit defective genes).
    *   The phrase "especially prone to cancer" means that this group is *more* prone to cancer than the general population, or more prone than other groups mentioned (though no other groups are explicitly mentioned, the comparison is implied against the norm).
    *   It emphasizes a higher degree of proneness.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling.
        *   *Match?* Yes. "Especially prone" means "to a distinctly greater extent of proneness."
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=in a special manner | examples=a specially arranged dinner.
        *   *Match?* No. This sense relates to being unique or customized (like "special"), not to a higher degree of frequency or intensity.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct usage.

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

Sentence: There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers <t>seem</t> to haunt certain families.

Senses:
1. definition=give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | examples=She seems to be sleeping
2. definition=seem to be true, probable, or apparent | examples=It seems that he is very gifted
3. definition=appear to exist | examples=There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now
4. definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers <t>seem</t> to haunt certain families."
2.  **Analyze the target word and context:** The word is "seem." The context is "why some cancers seem to haunt certain families."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "seem" in this context:** The sentence is suggesting that the observed pattern (cancers haunting certain families) is *explained* by the genetic predisposition. The cancers *appear* or *look* like they are haunting those families, based on the evidence. It is a statement about the apparent nature or probability of the observation.
4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   **1. definition=give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | examples=She seems to be sleeping.** (Focuses on appearance/impression of a state/action. *Cancers seem to haunt* fits this, but let's check others.)
    *   **2. definition=seem to be true, probable, or apparent | examples=It seems that he is very gifted.** (Focuses on probability or truthfulness of a proposition. *Cancers seem to haunt* suggests that the haunting is an apparent truth or a probable outcome based on the evidence.)
    *   **3. definition=appear to exist | examples=There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now.** (Focuses on existence. Not applicable here.)
    *   **4. definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone.** (Focuses on the speaker's subjective perception. Not applicable here.)
5.  **Compare Senses 1 and 2:**
    *   Sense 1 (Impression/Outward Aspect): "The cancers give the impression of haunting certain families." (Focuses on the *appearance* of the cancer itself.)
    *   Sense 2 (Probable/Apparent Truth): "It is apparent/probable that the cancers haunt certain families." (Focuses on the *fact* or *likelihood* of the haunting.)
6.  **Refine the choice:** When we say "X seems to Y," and Y is a state or action (like "haunt"), we are usually stating that the observation (X doing Y) is apparent or probable. The evidence suggests that the genetic link makes the haunting *apparent* or *probable*. Sense 2 ("seem to be true, probable, or apparent") is the most accurate fit for stating that a pattern is observed and is therefore considered apparent or probable.

7.  **Final Check:** "Why some cancers seem to haunt certain families" means "Why it appears/is probable that some cancers haunt certain families." This aligns perfectly with Sense 2.

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

Sentence: 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 <t>certain</t> families.

Senses:
1. definition=definite but not specified or identified | examples=set aside a certain sum each week
2. definition=having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured | examples=felt certain of success
3. definition=established beyond doubt or question; definitely known | examples=what is certain is that every effect must have a cause
4. definition=certain to occur; destined or inevitable; ; ; - Benjamin Franklin | examples=he was certain to fail
5. definition=established irrevocably | examples=his fate is sealed
6. definition=reliable in operation or effect | examples=a quick and certain remedy
7. definition=exercising or taking care great enough to bring assurance | examples=be certain to disconnect the iron when you are through

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:** The word is "certain" in the sentence: "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 <t>certain</t> families."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "certain" in this context:** "Certain families" refers to specific, identifiable groups of families (those who are prone to cancer due to the genes). It means specific, particular, or definite families, not necessarily that the speaker is confident about them, or that their fate is sealed.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses against the determined meaning:**

    *   **1. definition=definite but not specified or identified | examples=set aside a certain sum each week**
        *   *Match?* Yes. "Certain families" means specific, particular families, but the sentence doesn't name them; it just refers to a group. This aligns with "definite but not specified or identified."

    *   **2. definition=having or feeling no doubt or uncertainty; confident and assured | examples=felt certain of success**
        *   *Match?* No. The families themselves are not feeling confident.

    *   **3. definition=established beyond doubt or question; definitely known | examples=what is certain is that every effect must have a cause**
        *   *Match?* No. The families are not a known scientific fact; they are a group being described.

    *   **4. definition=certain to occur; destined or inevitable; ; ; - Benjamin Franklin | examples=he was certain to fail**
        *   *Match?* No. The families are not an inevitable event.

    *   **5. definition=established irrevocably | examples=his fate is sealed**
        *   *Match?* No. This is too strong and relates to fate, not identification.

    *   **6. definition=reliable in operation or effect | examples=a quick and certain remedy**
        *   *Match?* No. This relates to reliability or effectiveness.

    *   **7. definition=exercising or taking care great enough to bring assurance | examples=be certain to disconnect the iron when you are through**
        *   *Match?* No. This relates to taking precautions or being sure of an action.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 ("definite but not specified or identified") is the correct fit for "certain families."

5.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

7. definition=a loose affiliation of gangsters in charge of organized criminal activities
8. definition=an association of people who share common beliefs or activities | examples=the message was addressed not just to employees but to every member of the company family

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "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 <t>families</t>."
2.  **Analyze the context of "families":** The sentence discusses inherited genes, genetic defects, and cancer susceptibility that seems to affect specific groups of people ("certain families").
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. a social unit living together (General living arrangement) - Possible, but too broad.
    *   2. primary social group; parents and children (Nuclear family) - Possible, but doesn't capture the genetic/ancestral link implied by "inherited genes."
    *   3. a collection of things sharing a common attribute (Non-human collection) - Incorrect.
    *   4. people descended from a common ancestor (Lineage/Ancestry) - This perfectly matches the context of inherited genes and shared genetic traits (like cancer predisposition) within a group.
    *   5. a person having kinship with another or others (Individual relationship) - Incorrect (it refers to a group).
    *   6. (biology) a taxonomic group (Scientific classification) - Incorrect (not about biological classification, but human lineage).
    *   7. a loose affiliation of gangsters (Criminal group) - Incorrect.
    *   8. an association of people who share common beliefs or activities (Social group/Community) - Possible, but Sense 4 is much more precise given the genetic context.
4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 4 ("people descended from a common ancestor") is the most accurate interpretation, as the shared genetic predisposition (inherited genes) strongly implies a shared ancestry or lineage.
5.  **Final check:** The phrase "cancers seem to haunt certain families" in a genetic context refers to a pattern of disease running through a lineage or family line. This aligns with Sense 4.

    *   4. definition=create and charge with a task or function | examples=nominate a committee (This is about nomination/task assignment.)
    *   5. definition=mention and identify by name | examples=name your accomplices! (This is about listing/calling out names.)
    *   6. definition=make reference to | examples=His name was mentioned in connection with the invention (This is about mentioning, not identifying the person *as* that name.)
    *   7. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example (Too specific.)
    *   8. definition=give or make a list of; name individually; give the names of (This is about listing names.)
    *   9. definition=determine or distinguish the nature of a problem or an illness through a diagnostic analysis (This is about diagnosis.)
5.  **Select the best fit:** The sentence uses "named" to state the identity of the pediatrician (Pediatrician = Alfred G. Knudson Jr.). Both Sense 1 and Sense 2 are strong candidates.
    *   Sense 1: "assign a specified (usually proper) proper name to." (The name was assigned to the person.)
    *   Sense 2: "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property." (The person is identified by their name.)

    In the context of a descriptive phrase ("a pediatrician named X"), Sense 2 ("refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property") is often the most accurate general fit for identification, but Sense 1 ("assign a specified proper name to") is also highly relevant when the name is the defining characteristic.

    Let's re-examine the usage: "a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr." This structure means "a pediatrician who is Alfred G. Knudson Jr." This is a direct identification.

    Sense 1: "They named their son David." (Action of naming.)
    Sense 2: "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal." (Identification/reference by name.)

    Since the sentence is identifying the person *by* their name, Sense 2 is the most precise fit for the passive/participial construction used here (being identified/referred to by that name).

6.  **Final check:** The pediatrician *is* Alfred G. Knudson Jr. He is identified by his name. Sense 2 covers this identification perfectly.

1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "genetic" (marked with `<t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "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 <t>genetic</t> defects."

3.  **Analyze the context of "genetic defects":**
    *   Retinoblastoma is a disease.
    *   The defects are related to genes (tumor-suppressor genes).
    *   The defects are the underlying cause of the disease.
    *   The term "genetic" here modifies "defects," meaning the defects are related to genes or are inherent to the genetic makeup.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=occurring among members of a family usually by heredity | examples=an inherited disease. (Focuses on inheritance/family pattern. While retinoblastoma is inherited, the phrase "genetic defects" specifically refers to the nature of the defect itself, not just its pattern of occurrence.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=of or relating to or produced by or being a gene | examples=genic combinations. (This perfectly matches the context. A "genetic defect" is a defect *of* or *relating to* a gene.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=pertaining to or referring to origin | examples=genetic history reconstructs the origins of a literary work. (This relates to origin/history, not the biological nature of the defect.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=of or relating to the science of genetics | examples=genetic research. (This refers to the field of study, not the characteristic of the defect itself.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "genetic defects" in this biological context.

2. definition=a failing or deficiency | examples=that interpretation is an unfortunate defect of our lack of information
3. definition=an imperfection in an object or machine | examples=a flaw caused the crystal to shatter
4. definition=a mark or flaw that spoils the appearance of something (especially on a person's body) | examples=a facial blemish

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "defects" (marked with `<t>defects</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "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 <t>defects</t>."

3.  **Analyze the context of "defects":** The defects are described as "genetic" and are the cause of "retinoblastoma" (a type of cancer/tumor). This implies a failure or flaw in the genetic material/system.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=an imperfection in a bodily system | examples=visual defects.
        *   *Relevance:* Retinoblastoma is a bodily system/genetic system issue. Genetic defects are imperfections in the biological system. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a failing or deficiency | examples=that interpretation is an unfortunate defect of our lack of information.
        *   *Relevance:* While a genetic defect is a deficiency, this sense often applies to abstract concepts (interpretations, plans, systems of thought). Sense 1 is more specific to the biological context.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an imperfection in an object or machine | examples=a flaw caused the crystal to shatter.
        *   *Relevance:* The defects are genetic, not mechanical or physical objects. (Incorrect).

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a mark or flaw that spoils the appearance of something (especially on a person's body) | examples=a facial blemish.
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to cosmetic flaws (blemishes, scars). Genetic defects are underlying causes, not necessarily visible marks (though they can lead to visible conditions). (Incorrect).

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   The context is *genetic* and *biological*.
    *   Sense 1 explicitly links "imperfection" to a "bodily system" (which includes genetic systems).
    *   Sense 2 is broader ("failing or deficiency") and often used for non-physical systems.
    *   In genetics, a "genetic defect" is fundamentally an imperfection in the biological system's code. Sense 1 is the most precise fit for the biological context.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=form or construct theories | examples=he thinks and theorizes all day. (Focuses on the *process* of forming theories, often abstractly.)

4.  **Match the sentence to the senses:**
    *   The sentence describes a specific, testable hypothesis (the inheritance pattern of the gene). This is the act of *constructing a theory* or *proposing an explanation*.
    *   Sense 1 (mere belief/supposition) is too weak; this is a structured scientific hypothesis.
    *   Sense 3 (general process of thinking/forming theories) is too broad.
    *   Sense 2 (construct a theory about) perfectly fits the context of proposing a scientific explanation (a theory) regarding the cause of eye cancer.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the correct usage.

3.  **Analyze the context of "normal":** The word "normal" is modifying "copy" (specifically, a copy of a gene). It is contrasting a "damaged copy" with a "normal copy." In genetics, a "normal copy" refers to a gene copy that is functional, standard, or typical, as opposed to one that is mutated or defective.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal | examples=serve wine at normal room temperature.
        *   *Relevance:* This sense relates to conforming to a standard or being not abnormal. In genetics, a "normal" gene copy conforms to the standard, non-mutated state. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=in accordance with scientific laws.
        *   *Relevance:* While genetics is scientific, this sense is too broad and doesn't capture the specific meaning of "not damaged" or "standard."

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child.
        *   *Relevance:* This sense relates to average physical or cognitive traits. While gene function relates to development, the context here is about the *integrity* of the gene copy itself (damaged vs. not damaged), not its average performance.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=forming a right angle.
        *   *Relevance:* Irrelevant (geometric).

5.  **Determine the best fit:** The contrast is between a *damaged* copy and a *normal* copy. "Normal" here means conforming to the standard, non-abnormal, functional state of the gene. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal."

6.  **Final check:** The context is biological/genetic, where "normal" means standard/non-mutated. Sense 1 covers the concept of conforming to a standard/norm and being "not abnormal."

7.  **Formulate the output:** Return only the number 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged."
2.  **Identify the key word and context:** The key word is "developed." The context is a biological/medical one (a tumor developing).
3.  **Determine the meaning of "developed" in this context:** A tumor is a growth or mass. "Developed" here means it started to form, grew, or came into existence.
4.  **Review the provided senses:** I need to find the sense that matches "coming into existence" or "growing/changing physically."

    *   1. make something new (product/creation) - No.
    *   2. work out (theory) - No.
    *   3. gain through experience - No.
    *   4. come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) - Possible, but maybe too general. (e.g., He grew a beard).
    *   5. come into existence; take on form or shape - Very strong match. (e.g., A new religious movement originated...). A tumor takes on form.
    *   6. change the use of and make available or usable - No.
    *   7. elaborate (theories) - No.
    *   8. create by training and teaching - No.
    *   9. be gradually disclosed or unfolded; become manifest - Possible, but usually used for abstract concepts (plot, secret).
    *   10. grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment - Very strong match, especially for biological growth (tumors, flowers).
    *   11. become technologically advanced - No.
    *   12. cause to grow and differentiate - No (this is causative).
    *   13. generate gradually - Possible, but less specific than 5 or 10.
    *   14. grow emotionally or mature - No.
    *   15. make visible (film) - No.
    *   16. superimpose (geometry) - No.
    *   17. move pieces (chess) - No.
    *   18. move into a strategically more advantageous position - No.
    *   19. elaborate (music) - No.
    *   20. happen - Possible, but weak.
    *   21. expand in the form of a series - No.

5.  **Compare the best candidates (5 and 10):**
    *   Sense 5: "come into existence; take on form or shape." (A tumor takes shape.)
    *   Sense 10: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment." (A tumor grows/evolves.)

    In the context of a tumor (a biological growth), Sense 10 is the most precise and comprehensive description of the process of tumor formation and growth. Sense 5 is also correct, but Sense 10 specifically covers the *process* of biological development/growth, which is what is implied when discussing the damage to the normal copy leading to the tumor's development.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 10.

2. definition=a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena | examples=a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory
3. definition=a belief that can guide behavior | examples=the architect has a theory that more is less

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "theory" is used in the given sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit theory'."

3.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   "Dr. Knudson" suggests a scientific or academic context.
    *   "two-hit theory" is a specific, named concept related to a scientific idea (likely cancer development, given Knudson's work).
    *   The phrase "no way to prove" implies that the concept is being tested or debated within a scientific framework.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge..." (This is a mature, established scientific theory.)
    *   **Sense 2:** "a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena..." (This is a hypothesis or an early, unproven scientific idea.)
    *   **Sense 3:** "a belief that can guide behavior..." (This is a general, non-scientific belief or philosophy.)

5.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   The phrase "no way to prove" strongly suggests that the theory is *not* yet fully established or accepted (ruling out Sense 1, which implies a high degree of substantiation).
    *   The context (Dr. Knudson, scientific concept) rules out Sense 3.
    *   The concept is a specific, testable idea ("two-hit") that is currently under scrutiny ("no way to prove"). This aligns perfectly with Sense 2: a tentative insight or concept that needs verification.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "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."
2.  **Identify the target word:** "way".
3.  **Analyze the context of "way":** "had no way of ferreting out specific genes."
4.  **Determine the meaning of "way" in this context:** It means they lacked a method, a means, or a procedure to find the genes.
5.  **Review the provided senses:**
    *   1. how something is done or how it happens (manner/method)
    *   2. how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means/method)
    *   3. a line leading to a place or point (path/direction)
    *   4. the condition of things generally (state)
    *   5. a course of conduct (behavior)
    *   6. any artifact consisting of a road or path (physical path)
    *   7. a journey or passage (trip)
    *   8. space for movement (clearance)
    *   9. the property of distance in general (distance)
    *   10. doing as one pleases or chooses (preference)
    *   11. a general category of things (type/kind)
    *   12. a portion of something divided into shares (share)
6.  **Match the meaning to the senses:**
    *   "No way of ferreting out" strongly suggests a lack of *method* or *means* to achieve the result (finding the genes).
    *   Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" (Fits well, referring to the method).
    *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (Fits even better, referring to the means/method used to achieve the goal of finding the genes).
7.  **Select the best fit:** Both 1 and 2 are close, but "a means of control" (Sense 2) captures the idea of a necessary procedure or tool to achieve a specific outcome (ferreting out genes) very accurately. "A means" is synonymous with "a way" in this context.

8.  **Final check:** "They had no means (way) of achieving the goal (ferreting out genes)." -> Sense 2.
