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

Context: "Arsenic is toxic mainly because its chemical behavior is so similar to that of phosphorus." "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 <t>idea</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | synonyms=thought | examples=it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | synonyms=mind | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher; the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | synonyms=estimate, estimation, approximation | examples=an estimate of what it would cost; a rough idea how long it would take
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | synonyms=theme, melodic theme, musical theme | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures; the accompanist picked up the idea and elaborated it

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "idea" (marked with `<t>idea</t>`) is used in the provided context. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context surrounding the target word:**
    *   "...Jamie S. Foster, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Florida, said the <t>idea</t> that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "idea" in this specific sentence:**
    *   The sentence refers to the *concept* or *hypothesis* that arsenic could replace phosphorus in biological processes. It is a theoretical proposition or a scientific concept.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | synonyms=thought | examples=it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind.
        *   *Match Check:* A scientific hypothesis ("arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus") is a content of cognition/a thought/a concept. This is a strong match.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=your intention; what you intend to do | synonyms=mind | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher; the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces.
        *   *Match Check:* The context is not about intention or planning; it's about a scientific concept. (No match).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him.
        *   *Match Check:* While a hypothesis is a view, Sense 1 (content of cognition/thought) is a more precise fit for a scientific concept being discussed as a general proposition, rather than just a personal opinion. However, it is related. Let's compare 1 and 3. Sense 1 is broader (the content of cognition), while Sense 3 emphasizes the *personal* nature of the view. The context treats the "idea" as a general scientific concept ("isn't new"), not just Foster's personal opinion. Sense 1 is better.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | synonyms=estimate, estimation, approximation | examples=an estimate of what it would cost; a rough idea how long it would take.
        *   *Match Check:* The context is not about calculation or approximation. (No match).

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | synonyms=theme, melodic theme, musical theme | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures; the accompanist picked up the idea and elaborated it.
        *   *Match Check:* The context is microbiology, not music. (No match).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, defined as "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about," best captures the meaning of a scientific hypothesis or concept ("the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus").

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

6. definition=a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding | synonyms=exercise | examples=you must work the examples at the end of each chapter in the textbook

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:** The target word is "example" (<t>example</t>). The context is: "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 <t>example</t> where it was shown to work."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "example" in this specific sentence:** The sentence is discussing whether there has been a *case* or *instance* where the substitution (arsenic for phosphorus) was successfully demonstrated or shown to work. It refers to a specific occurrence or documented instance of this phenomenon.

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

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=an item of information that is typical of a class or group | synonyms=illustration, instance, representative | examples=this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome; there is an example on page 10.
        *   *Match?* Yes. "Instance" and "representative" fit the idea of a specific occurrence or case study. "There has never been [instance/case] where it was shown to work."

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a representative form or pattern | synonyms=model | examples=I profited from his example.
        *   *Match?* No. The context is not about a pattern or a model, but a specific event/proof.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=something to be imitated | synonyms=exemplar, model, good example | examples=an exemplar of success; a model of clarity.
        *   *Match?* No. The context is not about imitation.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=punishment intended as a warning to others | synonyms=deterrent example, lesson, object lesson | examples=they decided to make an example of him.
        *   *Match?* No. The context is scientific demonstration, not punishment.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=an occurrence of something | synonyms=case, instance | examples=it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday.
        *   *Match?* Yes. This is a very strong match. "There has never been [occurrence/case] where it was shown to work."

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=a task performed or problem solved in order to develop skill or understanding | synonyms=exercise | examples=you must work the examples at the end of each chapter in the textbook.
        *   *Match?* No. The context is not about a textbook exercise.

4.  **Compare the best matches (Sense 1 and Sense 5):**
    *   Sense 1 uses "instance" and "representative."
    *   Sense 5 uses "case" and "instance."
    *   Both are highly accurate. However, Sense 5's definition ("an occurrence of something") and synonyms ("case, instance") perfectly capture the meaning of a specific, documented event or proof ("there has never been an instance/case where it was shown to work"). Sense 1 is also correct, but Sense 5 is perhaps the most precise fit for the usage of "instance/case" in this scientific context.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 5.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "other ways to form life."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "ways" in this specific context:** The sentence is discussing different methods or processes by which life could originate. It's about alternative *methods* or *modes* of formation.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion. (Matches "methods" or "modes of formation").
    *   2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency. (Also matches, as "ways" can mean "means," but Sense 1 focuses more on the *manner* or *mode* of the process itself, which fits "to form life" very well).
    *   3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | (Direction/path - Incorrect).
    *   4. definition=the condition of things generally | (State of affairs - Incorrect).
    *   5. definition=a course of conduct | (Path of life/behavior - Incorrect).
    *   6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path | (Physical road - Incorrect).

    *   11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | (Category - Incorrect).
    *   12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | (Portion/share - Incorrect).
4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode). Example: "her dignified manner."
    *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means, agency). Example: "a means of control."
    *   In "other ways to form life," the focus is on the *mode* or *manner* of the process (formation). While "means" (Sense 2) is related, "manner/mode" (Sense 1) is the most precise fit for describing alternative *processes* or *styles* of biological origin.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

Which numbered sense of "life" (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 <t>life</t>, not just how life formed on early Earth," 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.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text discusses bacteria (GFAJ-1), arsenic, phosphorus, biochemical machinery, adaptation, growth, and the possibility of "a life form using arsenic" or "other ways to form life." The specific phrase is: "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form <t>life</t>, not just how life formed on early Earth."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "life" in the context:** The context is scientific (microbiology, biochemistry, planetary science). It is discussing the fundamental characteristics and existence of living organisms (microbes, life forms).

3.  **Examine the senses provided:**

    *   1. characteristic state or mode of living (e.g., social life) - *Too abstract/social.*
    *   2. experience of being alive; course of human events (e.g., complexities of life) - *Too focused on human experience.*
    *   3. course of existence of an individual (e.g., new life in Australia) - *Too focused on individual existence/migration.*
    *   4. condition of living or the state of being alive (e.g., while there's life there's hope) - *Relates to the state, but perhaps too general.*
    *   5. period during which something is functional (e.g., battery life) - *Refers to duration/lifespan.*
    *   6. period between birth and the present time (e.g., all his life) - *Refers to duration/past.*
    *   7. period from the present until death (e.g., for life) - *Refers to duration/future.*
    *   8. a living person (e.g., saved a life) - *Refers to an individual.*
    *   9. animation and energy in action (e.g., give life to it) - *Refers to vitality/spirit.*
    *   10. living things collectively (e.g., oceans are teeming with life) - *Refers to organisms in general.*
    *   11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones (e.g., no life on the moon) - *This is the scientific definition of life (biological existence).*
    *   12. an account of the series of events making up a person's life (e.g., biography) - *Refers to a story/history.*
    *   13. a motive for living (e.g., pottery was his life) - *Refers to purpose.*
    *   14. a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives (e.g., life sentence) - *Refers to duration/punishment.*

4.  **Match the context to the best sense:** The discussion is about whether a non-traditional chemical process (arsenic substitution) could lead to the emergence of a *living organism* or *life form*. This aligns perfectly with the scientific definition of life—the property that distinguishes biological entities.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 11 is the correct fit.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "It does suggest that that there could be other ways to form life, not just how <t>life</t> formed on early Earth."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "life" in this context:** The discussion revolves around bacteria, arsenic, phosphorus, biochemical machinery, and the possibility of "life forms" or "early life forms." The context is scientific, specifically microbiology and astrobiology, discussing the fundamental nature of living organisms.
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. characteristic state or mode of living (social life, city life) - Too abstract/social.
    *   2. experience of being alive; course of human events (living, he could no longer cope with the complexities of life) - Focuses on human experience/events.
    *   3. course of existence of an individual (he hoped for a new life in Australia) - Focuses on individual existence/journey.
    *   4. the condition of living or the state of being alive (while there's life there's hope; life depends on many chemical and physical processes) - This relates to the fundamental state of being alive, often tied to biological processes.
    *   5. period during which something is functional (lifetime, lifespan) - Focuses on duration.
    *   6. period between birth and the present time - Focuses on duration/past.
    *   7. period from the present until death - Focuses on duration/future.
    *   8. a living person (his heroism saved a life) - Refers to an individual.
    *   9. animation and energy in action (liveliness, spirit) - Focuses on vitality/energy.
    *   10. living things collectively (the oceans are teeming with life) - Refers to a collective group.
    *   11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones (there is no life on the moon) - This is the most precise scientific definition, referring to the *state* or *property* of being alive (biological existence).
    *   12. an account of the series of events making up a person's life (biography) - Focuses on narrative.
    *   13. a motive for living (pottery was his life) - Focuses on purpose.
    *   14. a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives (life sentence) - Focuses on duration/punishment.
4.  **Compare the best candidates (4 and 11):**
    *   Sense 4: "the condition of living or the state of being alive... life depends on many chemical and physical processes." (Broad biological state).
    *   Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones... there is no life on the moon." (Specific scientific definition of biological existence).
5.  **Select the best fit:** The context is discussing the *formation* of life ("how life formed on early Earth") and the possibility of *life forms* existing elsewhere. This is a discussion of the fundamental biological property that defines an organism. Sense 11, "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones," perfectly captures this scientific concept of biological existence. While Sense 4 is close, Sense 11 is the precise technical term used in astrobiology and biology when discussing the presence or absence of life.

6.  **Final check:** The phrase "how life formed on early Earth" refers to the origin of biological existence, which is defined by Sense 11.

4.  **Re-evaluating Sense 4 vs. Sense 12:**
    *   Context: "not part of Wolfe-Simon's research team." (Meaning: not a member/participant).
    *   Sense 4: "that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation." (Example: "on our part" - meaning "our responsibility/involvement"). This sense captures the idea of involvement in a situation (the research team).
    *   Sense 12: "the part played by a person in bringing about a result." (Example: "did their share of the work" - meaning contribution). This focuses more on the *action* or *contribution* to the result, rather than the status of being a member of the group itself.

5.  **Conclusion:** When "part" is used to mean "member" or "participant" in a group or situation, Sense 4 is the most appropriate fit, as it relates to the person's involvement in that specific situation/role.

6.  **Final Check:** "Foster was not part of the team" = "Foster was not involved in the team's situation/role." This aligns best with Sense 4.

4. definition=a military operation (often involving new supplies of men and materiel) to strengthen a military force or aid in the performance of its mission | synonyms=reinforcement, reenforcement | examples=they called for artillery support
5. definition=documentary validation | synonyms=documentation | examples=his documentation of the results was excellent; the strongest support for this view is the work of Jones

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "The democratic routine <t>Support</t> for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "Support" in this context:** It refers to approval, backing, or endorsement of the democratic system and private enterprise.
3.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. Providing necessities/money (Financial/Emotional care). (Doesn't fit "democratic routine.")
    *   2. Aiding the cause or policy or interests of. (Fits perfectly: supporting the *cause* of democracy.)
    *   3. Immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest. (Fits well, but Sense 2 is more precise regarding political/policy backing.)
    *   4. Military operation/reinforcement. (Irrelevant.)
    *   5. Documentary validation. (Irrelevant.)
    *   6. Financial means of living (Livelihood). (Irrelevant.)
    *   7. Supporting structure/foundation. (Physical, irrelevant.)
    *   8. Act of bearing weight/strengthening. (Physical, irrelevant.)

    *   10. Device that bears weight. (Physical, irrelevant.)

    *   Sense 2: "aiding the cause or policy or interests of." (This is the most accurate definition for political/ideological support.)
    *   Sense 3: "something providing immaterial assistance to a person or cause or interest." (Also accurate, but Sense 2 is more formal and specific to political backing.)
    *   Sense 11: "financial resources provided to make some project possible." (This is too narrow; the support mentioned is general backing, not just money.)
5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit for "Support for democracy."

(This is a specific type of support, often financial, but Sense 1 is broader and covers general support/approval, which is what "backing for private enterprise" usually implies in a political/economic context, though Sense 3 is also plausible if the support is strictly financial. Let's compare 1 and 3.)
4.  **Refine the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 3:**

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "it tracks <t>changes</t> in attitude across the region."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "changes" in this context:** The poll is taken regularly since 1995. It is tracking how attitudes (opinions, beliefs) have shifted or evolved over time (from 1995 up to the present).
3.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   1. an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another (alteration, modification). *This fits the idea of attitudes shifting from one state (e.g., skeptical) to another (e.g., supportive).*
    *   2. a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event. *This also fits. The poll compares the attitude state now vs. the attitude state in the past.*
    *   3. the action of changing something. (The *process* of changing, not the resulting shift itself). *Less likely.*
    *   4. the result of alteration or modification. (The *difference* or *new state* resulting from the shift). *This is a strong candidate, as the poll tracks the resulting differences in attitude.*
    *   5-9. Financial/monetary senses. *Irrelevant.*
    *   10. a difference that is usually pleasant. *Irrelevant.*
4.  **Compare the best candidates (1, 2, 4):**
    *   The poll tracks *how* attitudes have shifted (the process/event - Sense 1).
    *   The poll tracks the *difference* between the past attitude and the present attitude (Sense 2).
    *   The poll tracks the *resulting differences* in attitude (Sense 4).

5.  **Refine the choice based on typical usage in social science/polling:** When a poll "tracks changes in attitude," it is measuring the *difference* or *alteration* that has occurred over time.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *event* of passing from one state to another.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *relational difference* between the states (Past State vs. Present State).
    *   Sense 4 focuses on the *result* of the alteration (the observed difference).

    In the context of tracking longitudinal data, "changes in attitude" refers to the measurable *difference* or *alteration* observed between the initial state and the current state. Sense 2 ("a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event") captures this comparison perfectly. Sense 4 ("the result of alteration or modification") is also very close, but Sense 2 emphasizes the *comparison* inherent in tracking over time.

6.  **Final check:** "It tracks changes in attitude" means it tracks the difference between the attitude in 1995 and the attitude today. This is a relational difference between two states.

7.  **Select the number:** 2.
