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

Context: Right now about a dozen laboratories, in the U.S., Canada and Britain, are racing to unmask other suspected tumor-suppressing genes. They have about seven candidates. Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. 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 <t>cancer</t>, 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.

The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged.

Senses:
1. definition=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
2. definition=an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses tumor-suppressor genes and cancer.
    *   The relevant sentence is: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one <t>parent</t> and a normal copy from the other."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    *   Target word: "parent"
    *   Usage: "an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other."
    *   In this biological/genetic context, "parent" refers to the individuals (the biological progenitors) who contributed the genes to the infant.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=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 the human/biological role of giving birth/raising.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained. (Focuses on the biological source/progenitor, applicable to plants, animals, or even genes/cells in a broader sense.)

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   While Sense 1 (father/mother) is technically correct, Sense 2 (an organism/source from which younger ones are obtained) is often the more precise definition used in genetics when discussing the source of genetic material.
    *   However, the context explicitly refers to the *individuals* (the biological beings) from whom the infant inherited the genes. These individuals are the biological parents (father and mother).
    *   Let's re-evaluate the scope.
        *   If the context were "The plant is a parent of the seedling," Sense 2 would be perfect.
        *   Since the context is "an infant inherited... from one parent and a normal copy from the other," the "parent" refers to the human biological progenitors.
    *   Sense 1 covers "a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child." This is the most direct and accurate fit for the usage in the sentence.

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

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

    *   The specific phrase is: "He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a `<t>normal</t>` copy from the other."
    *   The context is discussing genetics and gene copies.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word ("normal") in Context:**
    *   The gene copy is being compared to a "damaged copy."
    *   Therefore, "normal" here means the gene copy that is *not* damaged, i.e., it conforms to the expected, healthy, or standard genetic structure for that gene.

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; normal diplomatic relations. (This relates to standards, types, or being non-abnormal.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=in accordance with scientific laws. (Too specific, usually applied to physical laws, not gene copies in this manner.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child; of normal intelligence. (This relates to statistical averages or developmental milestones.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=forming a right angle. (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Sense:**
    *   The context is about a gene copy being structurally sound/undamaged compared to a damaged copy. This is a matter of conforming to the standard or expected type/state of the gene.
    *   Sense 1 ("conforming with or constituting a norm or standard... not abnormal") fits perfectly. The "normal copy" is the standard, non-abnormal version of the gene.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "The tumor, he suggested, <t>developed</t> when the second, normal copy also was damaged."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "developed" in this specific context:** The tumor *developed*. This means the tumor started to form, grew, or came into existence/progressed from a pre-existing state (the initial genetic defect).
3.  **Examine the senses provided:** I need to find the sense that matches the idea of a tumor forming or progressing.

    *   1. make something new (product/creation) - (Not quite, it's a biological process).
    *   2. work out (theory/plan) - (No).
    *   3. gain through experience (sense/skill) - (No).
    *   4. come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes) - (Possible, tumors change/grow).
    *   5. come into existence; take on form or shape (originate, arise) - (Very strong candidate, the tumor came into existence).
    *   6. change the use of (land/resources) - (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 things like plots or secrets).
    *   10. grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment - (Very strong candidate, describes biological growth/progression).
    *   11. become technologically advanced - (No).
    *   12. cause to grow and differentiate in ways conforming to its natural development - (This is about *causing* development, not the tumor doing it).
    *   13. generate gradually (customers/market) - (No).
    *   14. grow emotionally or mature - (No).
    *   15. make visible (film) - (No).
    *   16. superimpose (geometry) - (No).
    *   17. move one's pieces (chess) - (No).
    *   18. move into a strategically more advantageous position (chess) - (No).
    *   19. elaborate (music) - (No).
    *   20. happen (news develops) - (Possible, but less precise than biological growth).
    *   21. expand in the form of a series - (No).

4.  **Compare the best candidates (4, 5, 10):**
    *   Sense 4: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" - Fits the growth/change of the tumor.
    *   Sense 5: "come into existence; take on form or shape" - Fits the tumor starting to form.
    *   Sense 10: "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment" - This is the most comprehensive and accurate description of how a tumor progresses biologically (growth, differentiation, evolution).

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 10 captures the biological process of a tumor progressing and growing most accurately. Sense 5 is also plausible, but Sense 10 encompasses the *process* of development, which is implied by the context of genetic defects leading to cancer.

6.  **Final check:** "The tumor developed" -> The tumor grew/progressed/evolved through a biological process. This matches Sense 10.

The tumor, he suggested, developed when the <t>second</t>, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory.

Senses:
1. definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude | synonyms=2nd, 2d
2. definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute; the second violins

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The relevant sentence is: "The tumor, he suggested, developed when the <t>second</t>, normal copy also was damaged."
    *   The context is discussing genetic defects (specifically, the "two-hit" theory proposed by Knudson).
    *   The theory involves an infant inheriting one damaged copy and one normal copy of a gene.
    *   The tumor develops when the *second* copy (the normal one) is also damaged.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=coming next after the first in position in space or time or degree or magnitude | synonyms=2nd, 2d. (Ordinal number)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a part or voice or instrument or orchestra section lower in pitch than or subordinate to the first | examples=second flute; the second violins. (Musical/Hierarchical ranking)

4.  **Apply the Context to the Senses:**
    *   In the phrase "the second, normal copy," "second" refers to the copy that follows the first copy (the one inherited from the other parent). It is referring to the order or position in the set of two copies.
    *   This matches the definition of Sense 1 (coming next after the first in position/magnitude).
    *   It does *not* match Sense 2 (a musical or hierarchical ranking).

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

6.  **Format the Output:** Return only the number.

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

Context: They have about seven candidates. Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. 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, <t>normal</t> copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory.

Senses:
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; normal diplomatic relations
2. definition=in accordance with scientific laws
3. definition=being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child; of normal intelligence
4. definition=forming a right angle

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses tumor-suppressor genes and cancer development.
    *   The specific phrase is: "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, <t>normal</t> copy also was damaged."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "normal" in the Context:**
    *   The context is discussing genetic copies of a gene.
    *   One copy is "damaged" (defective).
    *   The other copy is "normal."
    *   In this biological/genetic context, "normal" means the copy is functioning correctly, intact, or not mutated/defective, in contrast to the "damaged" copy.

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; normal diplomatic relations. (This sense relates to standards or typicality, often social or environmental. While genetic health is a standard, the core meaning here is *functional integrity*.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=in accordance with scientific laws. (This is too broad and doesn't capture the specific contrast between "damaged" and "normal" gene copies.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development | examples=a perfectly normal child; of normal intelligence. (This relates to average physical or cognitive traits, not the functional state of a specific gene copy.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=forming a right angle. (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Re-evaluate Sense 1 vs. the Context:**
    *   The context is about genetic *standards* or *types*. A "normal" gene copy is one that conforms to the standard, healthy, or non-mutated type of that gene.
    *   Sense 1 includes the phrase "conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal."
    *   In genetics, the "norm" is the wild-type, functional gene. The "damaged" copy is the abnormal one.
    *   Therefore, the use of "normal" here aligns best with the idea of conforming to the standard/type (Sense 1).

6.  **Final Check:** The gene copy is "normal" because it is the standard, functional version, contrasting with the "damaged" (abnormal) version. This fits Sense 1.

7.  **Formulate the Output:** Return only the number. (1)

    *   4. definition=material suitable for a journalistic account | examples=catastrophes make good copy (Relates to journalism/writing.)

4.  **Match the Context to the Sense:**
    *   In the context, the gene is duplicated or inherited in two forms (damaged and normal). The "copy" is an identical or similar version of the original gene.
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 2: "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing." (The normal gene is an identical version of the damaged gene, or vice versa, within the organism.)

5.  **Determine the Final Answer:** The correct sense is 2.

2.  **Determine the meaning of "prove" in this context:** The context discusses a scientific theory (Knudson's "two-hit" theory) and the lack of means to confirm or validate it at that time.
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. be shown or be found to be (Focuses on outcome/identity, e.g., "She proved to be right.") - Less fitting for establishing a scientific theory.
    *   2. establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment (Synonyms: demonstrate, establish, show). - This perfectly matches the need to validate a scientific theory.
    *   3. provide evidence for (Synonyms: testify, bear witness). - While related, Sense 2 is stronger because it implies the *act* of establishing validity through evidence/experimentation, which is what scientists do.
    *   4. prove formally; demonstrate by a mathematical, formal proof. - The context is biological/genetic, not mathematical.
    *   5. put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to (Synonyms: test, try, try out). - This is a possibility, but Sense 2 (establish validity) is a more formal and accurate description of scientific validation.

3. definition=a belief that can guide behavior | examples=the architect has a theory that more is less; they killed him on the theory that dead men tell no tales

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of "theory" (<t>theory</t>) is used in the provided context. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:** The relevant sentence is: "But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's 'two-hit <t>theory</t>.'"

3.  **Analyze the surrounding text/contextual clues:**
    *   The discussion is about genetic defects, tumor-suppressor genes, and the development of cancer.
    *   Knudson *proposed* that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects (one inherited, one acquired).
    *   The phrase "no way to prove" suggests the idea is not yet fully established or verified.
    *   The idea is a specific explanation for a biological phenomenon (cancer development).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** "a well-substantiated explanation... an organized system of accepted knowledge..." (This implies a fully established, proven theory, like the Theory of Evolution.)
        *   *Fit Check:* The text says there was "no way to prove" it, suggesting it was not yet a fully accepted, substantiated theory. (Poor fit).

    *   **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 | synonyms=hypothesis, possibility..."
        *   *Fit Check:* Knudson *proposed* this idea. It was an explanation for cancer development, but it was not yet proven ("no way to prove"). This perfectly matches the definition of a hypothesis/tentative insight. (Strong fit).

    *   **Sense 3:** "a belief that can guide behavior | examples=the architect has a theory that more is less..." (This is a philosophical or behavioral theory, not a scientific one.)
        *   *Fit Check:* The context is strictly scientific (genetics, cancer). (Poor fit).

5.  **Conclusion:** The "two-hit theory" in this context is a proposed, unproven explanation for a biological phenomenon, matching Sense 2.

2. definition=in that case or as a consequence | examples=if he didn't take it, then who did?; keep it then if you want to
3. definition=at that time | examples=I was young then; prices were lower back then

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "Back <t>then</t>, 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."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "then" in this specific context:** The phrase "Back then" refers to a specific period in the past (the 1970s, when Knudson proposed his theory and before modern genetic tools were available). It sets the temporal scene for the limitations of scientific knowledge at that time.

3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=subsequently or soon afterward (temporal sequence/connector). (e.g., *then* he left). This implies a sequence of events (A happened, *then* B happened). While the context is historical, "Back then" is not functioning as a simple sequence connector.
    *   Sense 2: definition=in that case or as a consequence (conditional/result). (e.g., *then* who did?). This is clearly not the meaning here.
    *   Sense 3: definition=at that time (referring to a past period). (e.g., I was young *then*; prices were lower back *then*). This perfectly matches the function of "Back then," referring to the historical period being discussed.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "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.  **Determine the meaning of "way" in this specific context:** "No way of ferreting out specific genes" means they lacked the *method*, *means*, or *ability* to isolate or find the genes.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion. (Relates to *how* the action is performed.)
    *   2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency. (Relates to the *method* or *tool* used to achieve a goal.)
    *   3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction. (Physical path.)
    *   4. definition=the condition of things generally. (State of affairs.)
    *   5. definition=a course of conduct | synonyms=path, way of life. (Behavioral path.)
    *   6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage. (Physical road.)
    *   7. definition=a journey or passage. (Travel.)
    *   8. definition=space for movement. (Physical space.)
    *   9. definition=the property of distance in general. (Measurement of distance.)
    *   10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses. (Personal preference/autonomy.)
    *   11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of`. (Category.)
    *   12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares. (Division.)

4.  **Match the meaning to the best sense:** The phrase "no way of ferreting out" implies a lack of *method* or *means* to achieve the goal (ferreting out genes).

    *   Sense 1 (manner/mode) is close, but Sense 2 (means/agency) is a stronger fit when discussing scientific methodology or capability.
    *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency." This perfectly matches the idea of lacking the *means* to achieve the result.

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

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

Context: 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.

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, <t>gross</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=before any deductions | examples=gross income
2. definition=lacking fine distinctions or detail | examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable
3. definition=repellently fat | synonyms=porcine | examples=a bald porcine old man
4. definition=visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features) | synonyms=megascopic
5. definition=without qualification; used informally as (often pejorative) intensifiers | synonyms=arrant, complete, consummate, double-dyed, everlasting, perfect | examples=an arrant fool; a complete coward
6. definition=conspicuously and tastelessly indecent | synonyms=crude, earthy, vulgar | examples=coarse language; a crude joke
7. definition=conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible | synonyms=crying, egregious, flagrant, glaring, rank | examples=a crying shame; an egregious lie

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Occasionally, <t>gross</t> chromosome damage was visible."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text:** The text discusses genetics, chromosomes, and viewing cells "under a microscope."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "gross" in this specific context:** Since the damage is being observed (or potentially observed) in chromosomes, and the context involves scientific observation, "gross" likely refers to something large, obvious, or visible without needing extreme magnification, or perhaps visible even when viewed generally.
4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=before any deductions | examples=gross income (Financial/Total amount) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   2. definition=lacking fine distinctions or detail | examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable (Coarse/General) -> *Possible, but usually implies lack of precision, not necessarily size.*
    *   3. definition=repellently fat | synonyms=porcine (Fat/Pig-like) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   4. definition=visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features) | synonyms=megascopic (Large/Easily seen) -> *This fits the idea of damage being large enough to be seen, even if the observation is under a microscope, it implies a large, obvious scale.*
    *   5. definition=without qualification; used informally as (often pejorative) intensifiers | synonyms=arrant, complete, consummate (Absolute/Total) -> *Does not fit the physical description of damage.*
    *   6. definition=conspicuously and tastelessly indecent | synonyms=crude, earthy, vulgar (Vulgar/Crude) -> *Does not fit the scientific context.*
    *   7. definition=conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible | synonyms=crying, egregious, flagrant, glaring, rank (Extremely bad) -> *While damage can be bad, the primary meaning here relates to the *visibility* or *scale* of the damage, not just its moral quality.*

5.  **Compare the best candidates (2 and 4):**
    *   If "gross" means "lacking fine distinctions" (Sense 2), it means the damage is generally visible, not detailed.
    *   If "gross" means "visible to the naked eye" (Sense 4), it means the damage is large and obvious.

6.  **Re-examine the phrase "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."** When discussing physical features (like damage on a chromosome), "gross" often means large-scale, easily observable, or macroscopic. Sense 4 ("visible to the naked eye") captures this sense of large, obvious scale, which is the most common usage of "gross" when describing physical features in a scientific or descriptive context (e.g., gross anatomy).

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 4 is the most appropriate fit for describing the scale of visible chromosome damage.

5. definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right | synonyms=wrong, legal injury

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

2.  **Examine the context:**
    *   The context discusses retinoblastoma, tumor-suppressor genes, and chromosomes.
    *   The relevant sentence is: "Occasionally, gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible."
    *   The context is biological/genetic, referring to physical changes or defects in chromosomes.

3.  **Analyze the target word and its usage:**
    *   Target word: "damage"
    *   Usage: "gross chromosome damage"
    *   Meaning in this context: Physical alteration, defect, or impairment of the chromosome structure.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **1. definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment**
        *   *Fit:* "Impairment" and "change for the worse" perfectly describe genetic or structural damage to a chromosome. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **2. definition=loss of military equipment | synonyms=equipment casualty**
        *   *Fit:* No. This is military/logistical.

    *   **3. definition=the act of damaging something or someone | synonyms=harm, hurt, scathe**
        *   *Fit:* This is the *action* (verb or gerund). While "damage" can be a noun meaning the result of this action, Sense 1 focuses more on the *state* of being impaired, which is more precise for a biological defect. However, let's compare 1 and 3.
        *   *Sense 3 (Act/Result):* The *act* of damaging.
        *   *Sense 1 (State):* The *occurrence* of a change for the worse/impairment.
        *   In "chromosome damage," we are describing the *state* of the chromosome (it is impaired/changed for the worse), not necessarily the *act* of the damage itself. Sense 1 is a better fit for describing a biological state.

    *   **4. definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | synonyms=price, terms | examples=the price of gasoline; he got his new car on excellent terms**
        *   *Fit:* No. This is financial.

    *   **5. definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right | synonyms=wrong, legal injury**
        *   *Fit:* No. This is legal.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 ("the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment") is the most accurate definition for "gross chromosome damage."

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


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

Context: 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 contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was <t>visible</t>. 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.

Senses:
1. definition=capable of being seen; or open to easy view | synonyms=seeable | examples=a visible object; visible stars
2. definition=obvious to the eye | examples=a visible change of expression
3. definition=present and easily available | examples=the cash on hand is adequate for current needs; emergency police were on hand in case of trouble

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

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The context discusses genetic defects, retinoblastoma, chromosomes, and microscopic examination.
    *   The specific sentence is: "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was <t>visible</t>."
    *   The action is related to what scientists could observe under a microscope.

3.  **Analyze the senses of "visible":**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=capable of being seen; or open to easy view | synonyms=seeable | examples=a visible object; visible stars. (Relates to physical sight/observation.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=obvious to the eye | examples=a visible change of expression. (Relates to being apparent or noticeable.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=present and easily available | examples=the cash on hand is adequate... (Relates to availability/presence, not necessarily sight.)

4.  **Apply the senses to the context:**
    *   "Gross chromosome damage was visible."
    *   The damage was observable when looking at the cells (under a microscope).
    *   Does it mean the damage was *obvious* (Sense 2)? Yes, but Sense 1 is more fundamental.
    *   Does it mean the damage was *available* (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Does it mean the damage was *capable of being seen* (Sense 1)? Yes. The damage was physically present and could be perceived by sight (via the microscope).

5.  **Determine the best fit:** Sense 1 ("capable of being seen; or open to easy view") perfectly describes the state of the damage when viewed under a microscope.

6.  **Formulate the final answer:** The correct number is 1. (Ensure the output is *only* the number.)
