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. "It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute. "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin <t>showing</t> results there soon.

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

*"I am convinced this basic research will begin <t>showing</t> results there soon."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "begin showing results" suggests that the research will start to produce or manifest outcomes that can be observed or noticed.
- The context is about scientific research leading to observable outcomes, not about demonstrating, proving, or indicating something directly.

**Synonym and Example Review:**
- **Sense 1 (demo, exhibit, present, demonstrate):** Focuses on giving an exhibition or demonstration to an audience. This does not fit because the context is about research outcomes, not a public exhibition.
- **Sense 2 (prove, establish, shew):** Involves establishing validity through examples or experiments. While related to research, the phrase "begin showing results" implies observable outcomes rather than proving something.
- **Sense 3 (provide evidence for):** Involves testifying or evidencing something. The context is about results becoming visible, not about providing evidence.
- **Sense 4 (make visible or noticeable):** Directly aligns with "begin showing results," indicating that the results will become visible or noticeable.
- **Sense 5 (show in, or as in, a picture):** Pertains to depicting or rendering something visually, which is not the focus here.
- **Sense 6 (give expression to):** Relates to expressing something, which is not the primary meaning in this context.
- **Sense 7 (indicate a place, direction, person, or thing):** Involves pointing or designating, which does not apply.
- **Sense 8 (be or become visible or noticeable):** Matches the idea of results becoming visible or noticeable soon.
- **Sense 9 (be or become visible or noticeable):** Similar to Sense 8, emphasizing visibility.
- **Sense 10 (give evidence of):** Involves indicating evidence, which is not the main point.
- **Sense 11 (take (someone) to their seats):** Irrelevant to the context.
- **Sense 12 (finish third or better in a race):** Clearly unrelated.

**Conclusion:**
The most fitting sense is **Sense 8: "be or become visible or noticeable."** This sense captures the idea that the research will soon produce observable results.

**Final Answer:**
```json
{"sense_index": 8}
```

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "results" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

> "I am convinced this basic research will begin showing **results** there soon."

The sentence suggests that the basic research will soon produce observable outcomes or findings related to cancer treatment. The context is about the anticipated outcomes of scientific research, not a solution to a problem or a direct consequence of a specific action.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Consequence/Effect/Outcome**: This sense fits well, as "results" here refers to the outcomes or effects of the research on cancer treatment.
2. **Solution/Answer**: This sense is less appropriate because the sentence does not discuss solving a problem directly; it discusses the emergence of outcomes.
3. **Resultant/Outcome**: This sense also aligns with the idea of outcomes from research.
4. **Resultant Role**: This sense is too abstract and does not directly apply to the context of anticipated outcomes.

Given the context, the most fitting sense is the one that captures the idea of outcomes or effects from the research, which is best described by sense 1 (consequence/effect/outcome) or sense 3 (resultant/outcome). However, sense 1 is more directly aligned with the phrase "begin showing results," emphasizing the emergence of outcomes.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **sense 1**.

The JSON response is:

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "there" in the sentence:

*"I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results <t>there</t> soon."*

we analyze the context:

- The speaker is discussing the future outcomes of basic cancer research.
- The phrase "will begin showing results **there** soon" implies a future location or time where these results will manifest.

**Evaluation of candidate senses:**

1. **Sense 1: "in or at that place"**
   - Synonyms: at that place, in that location.
   - Example: "they have lived there for years; it's not there."
   - This sense refers to a physical location, which doesn't fit the abstract future outcome context.

2. **Sense 2: "in that matter"**
   - Synonyms: in that respect, on that point.
   - Example: "I agree with you there."
   - This sense is used to refer to a specific aspect or matter, which aligns with the idea of results emerging "in that matter" (i.e., concerning the research).

3. **Sense 3: "to or toward that place; away from the speaker"**
   - Synonyms: thither.
   - Example: "go there around noon!"
   - This sense implies movement toward a place, which is less relevant to the abstract future results of research.

**Conclusion:**

The context suggests a future occurrence of results related to the research, fitting the notion of "in that matter" or "on that point." Therefore, the best sense is **Sense 2**.

**JSON response:**

```json

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

"To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors. Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986. Then **last** spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."

The word "last" here refers to the most recent occurrence of "spring" that has passed, indicating a time frame immediately before the present moment. This aligns with the definition of "last" as "immediately past" and is supported by examples like "last Thursday" or "the last chapter we read."

Among the candidate senses, the one that matches this usage is:

- **sense_key=last%5:00:00:past:00 | definition=immediately past | examples=last Thursday; the last chapter we read**

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one corresponding to this definition.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "spring" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

> "Then last **spring**, researchers reported finding a gene called p53..."

The context refers to a specific time period, indicating a season. The sentence discusses a recent event ("last spring") that occurred in the recent past, aligning with the temporal use of "spring" to denote the season.

Reviewing the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "the season of growth" - This matches the temporal reference to a specific season.
2. **Sense 2**: "a metal elastic device" - Irrelevant to the context of scientific discovery and time.
3. **Sense 3**: "a natural flow of ground water" - Not applicable to the discussion of gene discovery.
4. **Sense 4**: "a point at which water issues forth" - Also unrelated to the context.
5. **Sense 5**: "the elasticity of something that can be stretched and returns to its original length" - Not relevant to the temporal reference.
6. **Sense 6**: "a light, self-propelled movement upwards or forwards" - Unrelated to the context of a time period.

The context clearly indicates a reference to the season, making **Sense 1** the most appropriate choice.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

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

"Then last spring, researchers <t>reported</t> finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."

The key phrase here is "researchers reported finding a gene." This indicates that the researchers are communicating the result of their investigation or study. The context is about scientific discovery and the announcement of findings, which aligns with the definition of "report" as "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding."

Let's match this to the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "to give an account or representation of in words" - This is too general and does not specifically address the idea of announcing results of an investigation.
2. **Sense 2**: "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" - This directly matches the context of researchers announcing their discovery.
3. **Sense 3**: "announce one's presence" - Irrelevant to the context of announcing a discovery.
4. **Sense 4**: "make known to the authorities" - Not applicable; the context is about scientific findings, not informing authorities.
5. **Sense 5**: "be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism" - While related to reporting, it emphasizes journalism rather than the scientific announcement of findings.
6. **Sense 6**: "complain about; make a charge against" - Clearly unrelated to the context.

The best match is **Sense 2**, which is defined as "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding." This sense captures the essence of researchers communicating their scientific findings.

Therefore, the correct sense index is 2.

```json
{"sense_index": 2}

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

"To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors. Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986. Then last spring, researchers reported <t>finding</t> a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous."

The phrase "researchers reported finding a gene" indicates that the act of "finding" involves the discovery or determination of the existence of something—in this case, a gene. The context emphasizes that this is a scientific discovery, aligning with the idea of detecting or observing something that was previously unknown.

Let's review the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=find%2:40:02::** - "come upon, as if by accident; meet with" (e.g., happen, chance). This does not fit the scientific discovery context.
2. **sense_key=find%2:39:02::** - "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" (e.g., detect, observe). This matches the idea of scientists discovering a gene.
3. **sense_key=find%2:40:00::** - "come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost." This is more about locating something lost, not about scientific discovery.
4. **sense_key=find%2:32:00::** - "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study." This is close but more focused on establishing results after a process, rather than the act of discovering.
5. **sense_key=find%2:31:10::** - "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds." This does not apply to scientific discovery.
6. **sense_key=find%2:39:01::** - "perceive or be contemporaneous with." This does not fit the context.
7. **sense_key=find%2:40:01::** - "get something or somebody for a specific purpose." This is unrelated.
8. **sense_key=find%2:36:00::** - "make a discovery, make a new finding" (e.g., discover). This is very close and emphasizes the act of making a new finding, which aligns perfectly with the context.
9. **sense_key=find%2:31:09::** - "make a discovery." This is similar to sense 8 but slightly broader.
10. **sense_key=find%2:40:03::** - "obtain through effort or management." This does not fit.
11. **sense_key=find%2:32:01::** - "decide on and make a declaration about." This is unrelated.
12. **sense_key=find%2:30:00::** - "receive a specified treatment." This does not apply.
13. **sense_key=find%2:39:05::** - "perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place." This is unrelated.
14. **sense_key=find%2:40:15::** - "get or find back; recover the use of." This does not fit.
15. **sense_key=find%2:38:10::** - "succeed in reaching; arrive at." This is unrelated.
16. **sense_key=find%2:30:13::** - "accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation." This does not apply.

The most appropriate sense is **sense_key=find%2:36:00::**, which specifically denotes "make a discovery, make a new finding." This aligns perfectly with the context of researchers reporting the discovery of a gene.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 8}

raw_output:
The sentence "if impaired, <t>turns</t> healthy colon cells cancerous" describes a causal transformation: the impaired p53 gene causes healthy colon cells to become cancerous. This aligns with the sense of "turn" meaning to undergo a transformation or change of state, specifically becoming something different (cancerous) when a condition (impaired p53) is met.

The most appropriate sense is:

**sense_key=turn%2:30:04::**
**definition=undergo a transformation or a change of position or action**
**synonyms=change state**
**examples=We turned from Socialism to Capitalism; The people turned against the President when he stole the election**

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense index 3.

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

The word "other" here refers to additional research teams that are distinct from the two previously mentioned teams (Dr. Dryja's and the researchers who found the p53 gene). It is used to indicate a different set of teams, not past, strange, or belonging to a distant past.

- **Sense 1** ("not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied") fits this usage perfectly, as it describes additional, distinct entities.
- **Sense 2** ("recently past") and **Sense 3** ("belonging to the distant past") are irrelevant because "other" is not referring to time.
- **Sense 4** ("very unusual; different in character or quality") does not apply because "other" is not describing an unusual or strange characteristic here.

Thus, the best indexed sense is **Sense 1**.

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

> "Soon after that report, two other research teams uncovered evidence that the **same** damaged p53 gene is present in tissue from lung and breast cancers."

The key point is that the "same damaged p53 gene" is found in both lung and breast cancers, indicating that the gene is identical in both types of cancer tissue. This suggests a comparison of identity or equality in nature or quality.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1: same in identity**
   - Definition: same in identity
   - Examples: the same man I saw yesterday; never wore the same dress twice
   - This sense directly addresses the idea of identical identity, which aligns with the context where the same gene is present in different cancer types.

2. **Sense 2: closely similar or comparable**
   - Definition: closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree
   - Examples: curtains the same color as the walls; two girls of the same age
   - This sense implies similarity but not exact identity, which is less precise for the context where the gene is explicitly stated to be the "same."

3. **Sense 3: equal in amount or value**
   - Definition: equal in amount or value
   - Synonyms: like
   - Examples: like amounts; equivalent amounts
   - This sense focuses on equality in quantity or value, which does not fit the context of identical genetic material.

4. **Sense 4: unchanged in character or nature**
   - Definition: unchanged in character or nature
   - Examples: the village stayed the same; his attitude is the same as ever
   - This sense pertains to constancy over time, which is unrelated to the comparison of genetic material across different cancers.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is **Sense 1: same in identity**, as it precisely captures the idea that the damaged p53 gene is identical across lung and breast cancers.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

raw_output:
The context describes the p53 gene being "damaged" in relation to cancer tissues (lung and breast cancers). This usage aligns with the idea of the gene being harmed or impaired, which directly corresponds to the definition "harmed or injured or spoiled." The second sense, relating to disrepute, does not fit the scientific context of gene impairment. Therefore, the best sense is the first one.

Target lemma: present
Target surface form: present
Context:
"It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute. "All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon. "To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors. Dr. Dryja made his retinoblastoma discovery in 1986. Then last spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous. Soon after that report, two other research teams uncovered evidence that the same damaged p53 gene is <t>present</t> in tissue from lung and breast cancers. Colon, lung and breast cancers are the most common and lethal forms of the disease, collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=present%3:00:01:: | definition=temporal sense; intermediate between past and future; now existing or happening or in consideration | examples=the present leader; articles for present use
2. sense_key=present%3:00:02:: | definition=being or existing in a specified place | examples=the murderer is present in this room; present at the wedding

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 sentence uses "present" to indicate that the damaged p53 gene is found in tissue from lung and breast cancers. This aligns with the definition of "present" meaning "being or existing in a specified place" or "found in a particular context." Therefore, the best sense is the one that refers to the existence or presence of something in a specified context.

The appropriate sense is:

sense_key=present%3:00:02::

Thus, the correct sense index is 2.

The JSON response is:

{"sense_index": 2}

raw_output:
The context describes "tissue from lung and breast cancers," referring to biological material containing cells that are part of an organism and have a similar structure and function. This aligns with the definition of "tissue" as a part of an organism consisting of an aggregate of cells having a similar structure and function, rather than the definition of tissue paper. Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.
