Target lemma: life

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.

raw_output:
The sentence discusses the possibility of life forms using arsenic instead of phosphorus, suggesting alternative ways life could have formed. The context focuses on the concept of "life" as a biological phenomenon that can exist in different forms or modes, rather than personal experiences or lifespans. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is:

**Definition:** the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living.

**Sense Index:** 3

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

- The passage discusses the possibility of life forms using arsenic instead of phosphorus, suggesting alternative ways life could exist.
- Key phrases include "there could be other ways to form life, not just how life formed on early Earth," and "the idea that arsenic could be substituted for phosphorus isn't new, but there has never been example where it was shown to work."
- The focus is on the **concept of life as a biological phenomenon**—specifically, the conditions and mechanisms that allow life to exist, and how it might vary across different environments or planets.

Now, let's match this to the candidate senses:

1. **social life; city life** – Refers to lifestyles or environments, not relevant here.
2. **the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities** – Broad, but more about personal experience, not the biological mechanism.
3. **the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living** – Still too personal.
4. **the condition of living or the state of being alive** – Directly addresses the biological state of being alive and how it can be realized under different conditions (e.g., with arsenic).
5. **the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)** – Refers to lifespan, not the fundamental nature of life.
6. **the period from the present until death** – Similar to 5, not relevant.
7. **the period from the present until death** – Same as 6.
8. **a living person** – Too specific to individuals.
9. **animation and energy in action or expression** – Metaphorical, not about biological life.
10. **living things collectively** – General, but not focused on the mechanism of life.
11. **the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones** – Directly aligns with the discussion of life forms using arsenic.
12. **an account of the series of events making up a person's life** – Irrelevant.
13. **a motive for living** – Not applicable.
14. **a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives** – Irrelevant.

The context emphasizes the **biological phenomenon of life** and how it might be realized under different chemical conditions. Therefore, the best sense is:

**sense_key=life%1:19:00::** – "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones."

Thus, the appropriate sense index is 3.

raw_output:
The sentence in question is: *"who was not <t>part</t> of Wolfe-Simon's research team."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The word *part* is used to describe the relationship of Jamie S. Foster to the research team.
- It implies that Foster is **not included** in the group that constitutes the research team.
- This usage aligns with the idea of a **portion or component** of a larger entity (the research team).

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **sense_key=part%1:24:00::** (something determined in relation to something that includes it) – Fits well, as Foster is a component of the broader scientific community but not part of this specific team.
2. **sense_key=part%1:06:00::** (something less than the whole of a human artifact) – Less appropriate; the context is about membership, not a physical artifact.
3. **sense_key=part%1:17:00::** (a portion of a natural object) – Irrelevant to the abstract concept of a research team.
4. **sense_key=part%1:09:02::** (that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation) – Close, but the focus is on **membership**, not on a role or situation.
5. **sense_key=part%1:15:00::** (the extended spatial location of something) – Not applicable.
6. **sense_key=part%1:04:01::** (the actions and activities assigned to or expected of a person or group) – Not about actions, but about membership.
7. **sense_key=part%1:09:01::** (an actor's portrayal of someone in a play) – Irrelevant.
8. **sense_key=part%1:21:00::** (assets belonging to or due to an individual) – Not about assets.
9. **sense_key=part%1:09:00::** (one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole) – Directly matches the idea of Foster being a **portion** (or part) of the scientific community, specifically **not** a part of Wolfe-Simon's team.
10. **sense_key=part%1:08:01::** (a line of scalp) – Irrelevant.
11. **sense_key=part%1:10:00::** (the melody carried by a voice) – Irrelevant.
12. **sense_key=part%1:04:03::** (the part played by a person in bringing about a result) – Not about the role in the team, but about contribution to a result.

**Conclusion:**
The best sense is **sense_key=part%1:09:00::**, which describes a portion of a whole, fitting the context of Foster not being a member of the research team.

**JSON Response:**

raw_output:
The context refers to a group of researchers working together on a scientific project, specifically "the <t>team</t>" involved in Wolfe-Simon's research. This usage aligns with the sense of "team" as a cooperative unit of people working together, typically in a professional or scientific context, rather than as draft animals or a sports squad. Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one describing a group of people collaborating on a task.

The appropriate sense is:

- **sense_key=team%1:14:00::** (a cooperative unit, especially in scientific or professional contexts)

Thus, the correct sense index is 1.

To determine the best sense for "Support" in the context "The democratic routine <t>Support</t> for democracy in Latin America continues to edge up, as does backing for private enterprise. Crime has become a bigger worry than unemployment.", we analyze the context and compare it with the provided senses:

- **Sense 1**: Refers to providing financial or material aid. The context does not mention money or necessities.
- **Sense 2**: Refers to aiding a cause or policy. This matches the context, as it discusses support for democracy and private enterprise, which are political causes.
- **Sense 3**: Refers to immaterial assistance to a person or cause. While similar to Sense 2, it is broader and less specific to the political context.
- **Sense 4**: Pertains to military operations, which is irrelevant here.
- **Sense 5**: Concerns documentary validation, which does not fit the context.
- **Sense 6**: Relates to livelihood or financial means, which is not the focus.
- **Sense 7**: Involves physical support structures, which is unrelated.
- **Sense 8**: Refers to the act of bearing weight, which does not apply.
- **Sense 9**: Concerns musical accompaniment, which is irrelevant.
- **Sense 10**: Involves any device that bears weight, which is unrelated.
- **Sense 11**: Refers to financial resources for a project, which is close but more specific to funding a project rather than supporting a cause or policy.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is **Sense 2**, which specifically addresses aiding a cause or policy, aligning with the discussion of support for democracy and private enterprise.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}

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 mentions "backing for private enterprise" alongside "support for democracy," indicating a financial or resource-based support rather than a physical back or general approval. The synonyms "financial support, funding, financial backing" align with this interpretation, and the example "the foundation provided support for the experiment" further supports the idea of financial resources enabling a project. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing financial resources provided to make a project possible.

The appropriate sense index is 3.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=crime%1:04:00:: | definition=(criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act | synonyms=offense, criminal offense, criminal offence, offence, law-breaking | examples=a long record of crimes

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context indicates that "Crime" is being discussed as a concern that outweighs unemployment, specifically in the context of public worry and regional influence. This aligns with the definition of "crime" as an act punishable by law, typically considered an evil act, which is relevant to public concerns about safety and governance. The synonym "offense" and the example "a long record of crimes" further support this interpretation. The second sense, referring to an evil act not necessarily punishable by law, does not fit as well given the legal and societal implications implied in the context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "things" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence:

> Two related **things** stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October.

The context suggests that "things" refers to specific aspects or findings that are notable within the poll results. The phrase "related things" implies that these are particular concerns or observations that have emerged from the survey data.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Special situation** - This sense is about a unique circumstance, which doesn't fit the context of notable findings from a poll.
2. **Action** - This sense pertains to an activity, which is not applicable here.
3. **Special abstraction** - This sense involves abstract concepts, which is too vague for the specific findings mentioned.
4. **Artifact** - This sense refers to a manufactured object, which is irrelevant.
5. **Event** - While a poll result could be considered an event, the phrase "related things" suggests specific observations rather than a single event.
6. **Vaguely specified concern** - This sense aligns well with the idea of notable findings or concerns that have emerged from the poll. The synonyms "matter" and "affair" further support this interpretation, as they often denote issues or topics of interest.
7. **Statement regarded as an object** - This sense is about treating a statement as an entity, which doesn't match the context.
8. **Unspecified entity** - This sense is too generic and doesn't capture the specific nature of the findings.
9. **Attribute or quality** - This sense refers to characteristics considered as entities, which is not the focus here.
10. **Special objective** - This sense implies a goal, which doesn't fit the context of findings.
11. **Persistent illogical feeling** - This sense is about emotions or aversions, which is unrelated.
12. **Persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion** - This sense is about emotional states, which is not applicable.

Given the analysis, the most fitting sense is **a vaguely specified concern**, which corresponds to sense_key=thing%1:09:00::.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 6}
```
