Context:
In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells taken from lung cancer tissue they tested are missing this gene. There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers. At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes. Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes <t>people</t> who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too.

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

> "...Recently, he and others **reported** that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too."

The key phrase here is "reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers." This indicates that the researchers are **announcing or stating the result of their investigation**—they are presenting findings from their study. The context does not involve describing, announcing presence, making a complaint, or covering an event as a journalist. Instead, it aligns with the definition of **announcing the result of an investigation or experience**.

Matching this to the candidate senses:

1. **describe** – not fitting, as the context is about presenting findings, not merely describing.
2. **announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding** – fits perfectly, as the researchers are sharing their study results.
3. **announce one's presence** – irrelevant to the context.
4. **make known to the authorities** – not applicable; the context is about scientific findings, not reporting to authorities.
5. **be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism** – while related to reporting, the context is scientific, not journalistic coverage.
6. **complain about; make a charge against** – clearly not relevant.

Thus, the best sense is **sense_key=report%2:32:04::**, which corresponds to the definition of announcing the result of an investigation or finding.

Returning the required JSON object:

```json

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

> "...as well as several **other** more common cancers, too."

The word "other" here is used to refer to additional, unspecified types of cancers that are also common, distinct from the ones already mentioned (retinoblastoma suppressor gene and colon cancer). This usage aligns with the definition of "other" as **not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied**. The context does not suggest any temporal aspect (recent past, distant past) nor does it imply strangeness or unusualness. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one that captures the idea of additional, unspecified items.

**Selected sense:** not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied.

**Corresponding sense key:** 1

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

> "...as well as several <t>more</t> common cancers, too."

The word "more" is used to compare the frequency or prevalence of certain cancers, indicating that there are additional cancers that are even more common than those already mentioned. This usage aligns with the definition of "more" as a comparative term indicating a greater degree or extent.

Examining the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" - This sense is broader and fits the general use of "more" to compare adjectives or adverbs, but it does not specifically address the comparative nature of quantity or frequency.

2. **Sense 2**: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" - This sense directly addresses the use of "more" to indicate a greater degree or extent, which is precisely what is needed in the context of comparing the commonality of cancers.

Given the context where "more" is used to indicate that there are additional cancers that are even more common, **Sense 2** is the most appropriate choice.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
```

Context:
At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes. Dr. Vogelstein hopes soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer. Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can <t>only</t> speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies.

raw_output:
The sentence "Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only <t>speculate</t>." indicates that the word "speculate" is used to express uncertainty about future outcomes based on current knowledge. This aligns with the sense of forming an opinion or theory without full information, which is captured by the definition "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds." The synonyms "conjecture," "hypothesize," and the example "Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps" further support this interpretation. Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one describing forming an opinion on uncertain grounds.

The appropriate sense index is 1.

Thus, the answer is:

{"sense_index": 1}

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

> "...collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into **new** therapies."

The phrase "new therapies" refers to therapies that have not yet been discovered or are being developed as a result of recent scientific discoveries. This aligns with the idea of something being **not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered**. The context emphasizes the novelty and recent emergence of these therapies due to new scientific findings.

Among the candidate senses:

1. **not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered** - This directly matches the context of therapies being newly developed as a result of recent discoveries.
2. **original and of a kind not seen before** - While "novel" could apply, the emphasis is on the recent development rather than the uniqueness of the concept.

Target lemma: say

Context:
Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers <t>say</t> new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes.

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

"Some researchers **say** new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes."

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The sentence discusses researchers expressing an opinion or speculation about the potential basis for new cancer drugs.
- The phrase "Some researchers say" indicates that the researchers are stating their belief or hypothesis.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **sense_key=say%2:32:00::** (express in words) - General expression, but does not capture the speculative nature.
2. **sense_key=say%2:32:01::** (report or maintain) - Implies a formal reporting, which is less fitting for speculative opinion.
3. **sense_key=say%2:32:03::** (express a supposition) - Directly matches the idea of stating a hypothesis or speculation.
4. **sense_key=say%2:42:00::** (have or contain a certain wording) - Irrelevant to the speculative context.
5. **sense_key=say%2:32:04::** (give instructions) - Not applicable as no directive is given.
6. **sense_key=say%2:32:02::** (speak in a certain way) - Too broad and does not emphasize the speculative aspect.
7. **sense_key=say%2:32:07::** (communicate nonverbally) - Not relevant.
8. **sense_key=say%2:32:15::** (utter aloud) - Too literal and does not capture the speculative nature.
9. **sense_key=say%2:32:13::** (state as opinion or judgment) - Close, but "express a supposition" (sense 3) more precisely captures the speculative tone.
10. **sense_key=say%2:32:08::** (recite a fixed text) - Irrelevant.
11. **sense_key=say%2:32:09::** (indicate) - Not fitting the context.

**Conclusion:**
The context involves researchers expressing a hypothesis or speculation about cancer drugs. The most appropriate sense is **sense_key=say%2:32:03::**, which means "express a supposition" and aligns with the researchers' speculative statement.

**Final Answer:**
```json
{"sense_index": 3}

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

"The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes."

The phrase "new cancer drugs to **slow** or reverse tumor growth" indicates that the action of "slow" is related to making the growth of tumors proceed more slowly. This aligns with the definition of causing something to proceed more slowly, which matches the context of controlling tumor growth.

Comparing the candidate senses:

1. **lose velocity; move more slowly** - This sense is more about physical movement and deceleration, which doesn't fit the context of biological processes like tumor growth.
2. **become slow or slower** - This sense implies a passive change in speed, which is less precise for the active role of drugs in controlling growth.
3. **cause to proceed more slowly** - This sense directly matches the intended meaning of using drugs to reduce the rate of tumor growth.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one that describes causing a process to proceed more slowly, which is sense 3.

The answer is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

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

"Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or **reverse** tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes."

The key phrase here is "reverse tumor growth," which implies stopping or undoing the progression of tumor growth. This aligns with the idea of changing a process to its opposite or counteracting it.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Change to the contrary** (sense_key=reverse%2:30:00::): This sense involves altering something to its opposite or reversing a trend. The context of reversing tumor growth fits this definition well, as it suggests stopping or undoing the growth of tumors.

2. **Turn inside out or upside down** (sense_key=reverse%2:30:01::): This sense is more physical, involving a literal turning or inversion. It does not fit the abstract, biological context of tumor growth.

3. **Rule against** (sense_key=reverse%2:31:00::): This sense pertains to legal or authoritative decisions, such as overturning a ruling. It is unrelated to biological processes like tumor growth.

4. **Cancel officially** (sense_key=reverse%2:32:00::): This sense involves annulment or revocation of official actions, which does not apply to the biological context of reversing tumor growth.

5. **Reverse the position, order, relation, or condition of** (sense_key=reverse%2:30:03::): While this sense involves inverting order or condition, it is broader and less specific than the first sense. The context of "reverse tumor growth" is more directly captured by the first sense, which emphasizes changing a process to its opposite.

Given the analysis, the best indexed sense for "reverse" in this context is **change to the contrary**.

Therefore, the answer is:

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