Target lemma: take
Target surface form: taken
Context:
The discovery "suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation, "says Robert Weinberg, a leader in cancer-gene research at Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass. Evidence now is emerging that the p53 suppressor gene is involved in other cancers, too. Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies. The scientists say that since breast cancer often strikes multiple members of certain families, the gene, when inherited in a damaged form, may predispose women to the cancer. The p53 gene has just been implicated in lung cancer. In a report out last week, John Minna and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute say that about half the cells <t>taken</t> 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 There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue taken from kidney, brain and skin cancers.

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The sentence "There also are reports from several labs, as yet unpublished, of missing p53 genes in tissue **taken** from kidney, brain and skin cancers." refers to samples of tissue being collected from cancer patients. The verb "taken" here means that the tissue samples were **removed or obtained** from the patients for study. This aligns with the sense of "take" meaning "take into one's possession" or "remove something from its original place."

The most appropriate sense among the candidates is:

**sense_key=take%2:40:01:: | definition=take into one's possession | examples=We are taking an orphan from Romania; I'll take three salmon steaks**

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense index 8.

Target lemma: brain
Target surface form: brain
Context:
Evidence now is emerging that the p53 suppressor gene is involved in other cancers, too. Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies. The scientists say that since breast cancer often strikes multiple members of certain families, the gene, when inherited in a damaged form, may predispose women to the cancer. The p53 gene has just been implicated in lung cancer. 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, <t>brain</t> and skin cancers. At the same time, the Johns Hopkins team and others are rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=brain%1:08:00:: | definition=that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord | synonyms=encephalon
2. sense_key=brain%1:09:00:: | definition=mental ability | synonyms=brainpower, learning ability, mental capacity, mentality, wit | examples=he's got plenty of brains but no common sense
3. sense_key=brain%1:09:01:: | definition=that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason | synonyms=mind, head, psyche, nous | examples=his mind wandered; I couldn't get his words out of my head
4. sense_key=brain%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality | synonyms=genius, mastermind, brainiac, Einstein | examples=Mozart was a child genius; he's smart but he's no Einstein
5. sense_key=brain%1:13:00:: | definition=the brain of certain animals used as meat

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 discusses the involvement of the p53 gene in various cancers, including breast, lung, kidney, **brain**, and skin cancers. The mention of "brain" here is referring to the organ in which the p53 gene is found to be missing in tissue samples from brain cancer patients. This aligns with the definition of the brain as "that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord," which is the anatomical context relevant to the discussion of cancer tissue.

Therefore, the best sense is the anatomical one, corresponding to sense_key=brain%1:08:00::.

The sense index for this in the provided list is 1.

Thus, the answer is:

{"sense_index": 1}

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=at_the_same_time%4:02:03:: | definition=at the same instant | synonyms=simultaneously | examples=they spoke simultaneously
2. sense_key=at_the_same_time%4:02:05:: | definition=overlapping in duration | synonyms=concurrently | examples=concurrently with the conference an exhibition of things associated with Rutherford was held; going to school and holding a job at the same time

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "At the same time" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text and the candidate senses:

**Context Analysis:**
- The sentence "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."
- The phrase "At the same time" is used to indicate that two events are happening concurrently: the reports of missing p53 genes in various cancers and the efforts by the Johns Hopkins team to identify other tumor-suppressor genes.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1: at_the_same_time%4:02:03::**
   - Definition: "at the same instant"
   - Synonyms: "simultaneously"
   - Example: "they spoke simultaneously"
   - This sense implies that the events occur at exactly the same moment, which is not the primary implication here. The context suggests a broader overlap in timing rather than exact simultaneity.

2. **Sense 2: at_the_same_time%4:02:05::**
   - Definition: "overlapping in duration"
   - Synonyms: "concurrently"
   - Example: "concurrently with the conference an exhibition of things associated with Rutherford was held; going to school and holding a job at the same time"
   - This sense captures the idea that the two activities (reports of missing genes and the search for other tumor-suppressor genes) are happening at the same time, but not necessarily at the exact same instant. It aligns well with the context of concurrent efforts.

**Conclusion:**
The context emphasizes that the two activities are happening together in time, fitting the definition of "overlapping in duration" and the synonym "concurrently." Therefore, the best indexed sense is the second one.

**Final Answer:**
```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 describes researchers and scientists working together to study cancer genes, specifically mentioning "the Johns Hopkins <t>team</t> and others." This clearly refers to a group of people collaborating on a scientific project, which aligns with the sense of a "cooperative unit" (especially in research or scientific endeavors). The second sense, referring to draft animals, is irrelevant here.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one: a cooperative unit (especially in research or scientific endeavors).

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 describes researchers "rushing to pinpoint other tumor-suppressor genes," indicating they are acting quickly and urgently to accomplish this task. The most appropriate sense is one that captures the idea of moving or acting at a high speed due to urgency, without implying a sudden attack or a specific sport action.

Among the candidate senses:
- Sense 1 (move fast) and Sense 4 (act or move at high speed) both fit the urgency but Sense 4 includes additional connotations of hastening or hurrying, which aligns closely with the researchers' purposeful, urgent effort.
- Sense 2 (attack suddenly) and Sense 3 (urge to an unnatural speed) are less fitting.
- Sense 5 (run with the ball) and Sense 6 (cause to move fast or to race) are too specific to sports.
- Sense 7 (cause to occur rapidly) is close but more about inducing rapid occurrence rather than the researchers' active, urgent action.

Thus, the best match is **Sense 4: act or move at high speed**, which captures the researchers' urgent, purposeful effort to identify other genes.

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

> "Dr. Vogelstein <t>hopes</t> soon to isolate one on chromosome 18, also involved in colon cancer."

The context indicates that Dr. Vogelstein is expressing a wish or expectation about a future scientific achievement—specifically, the isolation of a tumor-suppressor gene. This aligns with the idea of having hopes or expectations for a future event to occur.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Expect and wish** (synonyms: trust, desire) - This sense focuses on wishing for something to happen, but it doesn't explicitly capture the forward-looking optimism about a future scientific outcome.
2. **Be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes** - This sense directly describes having hopes or optimism about a future event, which matches Dr. Vogelstein's intention to achieve a goal soon.
3. **Intend with some possibility of fulfilment** (synonyms: go for) - This sense suggests a plan or intention with a chance of success, but it is more about actively pursuing a goal rather than expressing hope about it.

Given that Dr. Vogelstein is expressing optimism and expectation about achieving a specific scientific goal soon, the most fitting sense is the one that captures this forward-looking optimism.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

**Sense 2: be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes**

The JSON response is:

```json

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

> 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.

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The sentence discusses Dr. Minna's opinion or conclusion about a scientific relationship between a defective gene and lung cancer susceptibility.
- The verb "believes" is used to express Dr. Minna's confidence or acceptance of a particular hypothesis or theory.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **sense_key=believe%2:31:00::** - "accept as true; take to be true." This fits well as Dr. Minna is accepting a hypothesis as true.
2. **sense_key=believe%2:31:04::** - "judge or regard; look upon; judge." This also fits, as Dr. Minna is judging or regarding people with a defective gene as prone to lung cancer.
3. **sense_key=believe%2:31:03::** - "be confident about something." This matches the idea of Dr. Minna being confident in his belief about the genetic link.
4. **sense_key=believe%2:31:01::** - "follow a credo; have a faith; be a believer." This is less appropriate as it implies a broader, possibly religious or philosophical adherence, which is not the focus here.
5. **sense_key=believe%2:31:02::** - "credit with veracity." This suggests giving credit to something's truthfulness, which is close but less specific to the confidence aspect.

**Synonyms and Examples:**
- **Synonyms for sense_key=31:03** include "trust," which aligns with Dr. Minna's confidence in the hypothesis.
- **Example for sense_key=31:03:** "I believe that he will come back from the war." This mirrors Dr. Minna's confidence in the genetic link.

**Conclusion:**
The context emphasizes Dr. Minna's confidence in a scientific hypothesis, making **sense_key=believe%2:31:03::** ("be confident about something") the most appropriate choice.

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

> 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 "he and others 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 or finding** regarding the involvement of the retinoblastoma suppressor gene in lung cancers.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "to give an account or representation of in words" - This is a general definition of reporting, but it doesn't specifically capture the investigative or result-oriented aspect.
2. **Sense 2**: "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" - This directly matches the context where researchers are announcing the findings of their investigation.
3. **Sense 3**: "announce one's presence" - Irrelevant to the context of announcing findings.
4. **Sense 4**: "make known to the authorities" - Not applicable; the context is about scientific findings, not reporting to authorities.
5. **Sense 5**: "be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism" - While related to reporting, it emphasizes journalistic coverage rather than the scientific announcement of findings.
6. **Sense 6**: "complain about; make a charge against" - Clearly unrelated to the context of scientific findings.

Given the context, **Sense 2** is the most appropriate as it captures the essence of announcing the results of an investigation or finding.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

Target lemma: involved
Target surface form: involved
Context:
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 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 <t>involved</t> in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=involved%3:00:00:: | definition=connected by participation or association or use | examples=we accomplished nothing, simply because of the large number of people involved; the problems involved
2. sense_key=involved%5:00:00:encumbered:00 | definition=entangled or hindered as if e.g. in mire | synonyms=mired | examples=the difficulties in which the question is involved; brilliant leadership mired in details and confusion
3. sense_key=involved%5:00:00:attached:01 | definition=emotionally involved
4. sense_key=involved%5:00:00:complex:00 | definition=highly complex or intricate and occasionally devious; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; - Sir Walter Scott | synonyms=Byzantine, convoluted, knotty, tangled, tortuous | examples=the Byzantine tax structure; Byzantine methods for holding on to his chairmanship
