Target lemma: find_out
Target surface form: find out
Context:
A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to <t>find out</t> what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=find_out%2:32:00:: | definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | synonyms=determine, find, ascertain | examples=find the product of two numbers; The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize

raw_output:
The sentence uses "little" to describe the probability that Will Quinlan inherited a damaged gene, specifically stating that he "had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma suppressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children." This usage aligns with the sense that "little" is used with mass nouns to indicate a small quantity or degree—here, a small chance or low probability. The relevant sense is:

- **sense_key=little%3:00:03::** definition=(quantifier used with mass nouns) small in quantity or degree; not much or almost none or (with `a`) at least some; synonyms: slight; examples: a little rain fell in May; gave it little thought.

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense 3.

Context:
Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis. Bill and Bonnie Quinlan are among the first beneficiaries of the new findings. The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not <t>inherited</t> a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

raw_output:
The context describes a genetic transmission of a gene from a parent to a child, specifically regarding the risk of retinoblastoma. The sentence "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma suppressor gene" clearly refers to receiving a gene through genetic inheritance, not through will or succession after death, nor from a predecessor in a non-genetic sense.

Therefore, the best sense is:

**inherit (sense 3): receive by genetic transmission**

The appropriate JSON response is:

The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. "It <t>made</t> our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "says" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

> "It made our New Year," *says* Mr. Quinlan.

The context indicates that Mr. Quinlan is expressing his personal opinion or statement about how the test results made their New Year special. The verb "says" here is used to convey what Mr. Quinlan personally declares or states.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **express in words** (synonyms: state, tell) - Fits the idea of conveying a personal statement.
2. **report or maintain** (synonyms: allege, aver) - Implies asserting something possibly without full proof, which doesn't match the straightforward personal declaration.
3. **express a supposition** (synonym: suppose) - Suggests hypothesizing, which is not the case here.
4. **have or contain a certain wording or form** (synonym: read) - Irrelevant to the context of personal declaration.
5. **give instructions to or direct somebody** (synonyms: order, tell, enjoin) - Implies giving a command, which doesn't fit.
6. **speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way** (synonyms: pronounce, articulate) - Focuses on manner of speaking, not the content of the statement.
7. **communicate or express nonverbally** - Not applicable as the context is verbal.
8. **utter aloud** - While close, it lacks the nuance of expressing an opinion or statement.
9. **state as one's opinion or judgement; declare** (synonyms: opine) - Directly matches the act of Mr. Quinlan declaring his personal view about the New Year.
10. **recite or repeat a fixed text** - Not relevant.
11. **indicate** - Too vague for the specific context.

The most fitting sense is **sense_key=say%2:32:13::**, which is defined as "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare." This aligns perfectly with Mr. Quinlan's personal declaration about the New Year.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 9}
```

raw_output:
The context refers to "an individual" in the sense of a single organism facing a medical risk assessment, specifically regarding the inheritance of a gene related to retinoblastoma. The sentence discusses the prediction of cancer risk for a specific person (Will Quinlan) based on genetic testing, emphasizing the individual's unique genetic makeup. The synonym "organism" aligns closely with this usage, whereas "person" would be more appropriate if the focus were on social or psychological aspects. Therefore, the best sense is the one referring to a single organism.

The appropriate sense index is 2.

Thus, the JSON response is:

- This sense aligns well with the idea of an individual **undergoing a change** that results in the onset of cancer.

**Comparison with Other Senses:**
- **Sense 1** (make something new) and **Sense 2** (work out) are about creation or problem-solving, not applicable here.
- **Sense 3** (gain through experience) and **Sense 10** (grow emotionally) focus on personal growth, not medical onset.
- **Sense 5** (come into existence) and **Sense 6** (originate) imply creation or emergence, but are less precise for the medical context.
- **Sense 7** (change the use of and make available) and **Sense 8** (elaborate theories) are unrelated to disease onset.
- **Sense 9** (become gradually disclosed) and **Sense 11** (become technologically advanced) do not fit the medical context.
- **Sense 12** (cause to grow and differentiate) is close but more about biological growth processes, whereas **Sense 4** directly addresses the onset of a disease.

**Conclusion:**
The most appropriate sense for "develop" in this context is **Sense 4**: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)".

Target lemma: cancer
Target surface form: cancer
Context:
The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. "It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop <t>cancer</t>. Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context clearly refers to a medical condition, specifically "retinoblastoma, an eye cancer," and discusses genetic testing to predict the risk of developing cancer. This aligns with the definition of cancer as "any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream." The other senses relate to astrology or zoology, which are irrelevant here.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.
