Context:
Arsenic-tolerant microbe raises possibility of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere The discovery of a strange bacteria that can use arsenic as one of its nutrients widens the scope for finding new forms of life on Earth and possibly beyond. While researchers discovered the unusual bacteria here in Earth, they say it shows that life has possibilities beyond the major elements that have been considered essential. "This organism has dual capability." "It can grow with either phosphorus or arsenic." "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some form of truly 'alien' life," commented Paul C. W. Davies of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report appearing in Thursday's online <t>edition</t> of the journal Science. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

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

- The sentence "The **find** is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like, Anbar said." suggests that "find" refers to a discovery or result of the research that is crucial for understanding and recognizing extraterrestrial life.

- The context involves a scientific study where researchers discovered that bacteria can substitute arsenic for phosphorus, which is a significant discovery in the search for life beyond Earth.

- The synonyms provided for the candidate senses are "discovery" and "uncovering" for sense 2, and "discovery" and "breakthrough" for sense 1. The phrase "is important in the search" aligns more closely with a general discovery rather than a breakthrough, which implies a more dramatic or novel advancement.

Given this analysis, the most appropriate sense is:

- **sense_key=find%1:04:00::** (definition: the act of discovering something; synonyms: discovery, uncovering)

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense 2.

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

> "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some form of truly 'alien' life," commented Paul C. W. Davies... The study focuses on a microbe found on Earth.

The key phrase here is "some form of truly 'alien' life." The context is discussing the possibility of life (specifically, microbial life) that could exist under different chemical conditions, such as substituting arsenic for phosphorus. This discussion is centered on the **definition of life**—what constitutes life, especially in the context of extraterrestrial or alternative biochemistry.

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** – too broad and human-centric.
3. **the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living** – still too general for the scientific discussion of life's definition.
4. **the condition of living or the state of being alive** – directly addresses the essence of what constitutes life, aligning with the discussion of microbial life and its biochemical requirements.
5. **the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)** – focuses on duration, not definition.
6. **the period from the present until death** – similarly about duration.
7. **the period from the present until death** – same as above.
8. **a living person** – too specific to individuals.
9. **animation and energy in action or expression** – metaphorical, not relevant.
10. **living things collectively** – broader than needed.
11. **the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones** – close, but more philosophical.
12. **an account of the series of events making up a person's life** – biographical, not relevant.
13. **a motive for living** – abstract, not relevant.
14. **a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives** – unrelated.

The most precise sense that captures the essence of "life" as discussed—its definition and the conditions under which it can exist—is **sense_key=life%1:26:00::**, which is defined as "the condition of living or the state of being alive" and includes synonyms like "animation," "living," and "aliveness." This sense directly aligns with the scientific exploration of what constitutes life, especially in alternative biochemical contexts.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

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

- The passage discusses a microbe that can substitute arsenic for phosphorus, questioning what else is possible in the search for life beyond Earth.
- The phrase "recognize life, to know what **life** looks like" is central, indicating a need to understand the fundamental nature or definition of life itself.

Considering 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** – too broad and human-centric.
3. **the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living** – still too general for defining life in a scientific context.
4. **the condition of living or the state of being alive** – directly addresses the fundamental state of being alive, which aligns with the need to "know what life looks like."
5. **the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)** – focuses on duration, not the essence of life.
6. **the period from the present until death** – similarly about duration.
7. **the period from the present until death** – same as above.
8. **a living person** – too specific to individuals.
9. **animation and energy in action or expression** – metaphorical, not about the definition of life.
10. **living things collectively** – broader than needed for the specific inquiry about the nature of life.
11. **the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones** – directly addresses the essence of life, crucial for recognizing life beyond Earth.
12. **an account of the series of events making up a person's life** – biographical, not relevant.
13. **a motive for living** – abstract and not about the definition of life.
14. **a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives** – unrelated.

The context emphasizes understanding the fundamental nature of life to recognize it elsewhere, making sense **11** ("the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones") the most appropriate. However, the instruction specifies returning only the sense index, not the sense key.

Thus, the best sense index is **3**, corresponding to "the condition of living or the state of being alive," which aligns closely with the need to define life in a scientific context.

**Answer:**
```json

Target lemma: find
Target surface form: find
Context:
Six major elements have long been considered essential for life - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. But the researchers found that the bacteria, discovered in Mono Lake, Calif., is able to continue to grow after substituting arsenic for phosphorus. "It makes you wonder what else is possible," said Ariel D. Anbar of Arizona State University, a co-author of the report. The find is important in the search for life beyond Earth because researchers need to be able to recognize life, to know what life looks like, Anbar said. The study focuses on a microbe found on Earth. However, the announcement of a news conference to discuss it, which did not disclose details of the <t>find</t>, generated widespread speculation on the Internet that the report would disclose the discovery of extraterrestrial life. It didn't.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=find%1:09:00:: | definition=a productive insight | synonyms=discovery, breakthrough
2. sense_key=find%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of discovering something | synonyms=discovery, uncovering

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 describes a scientific discovery where researchers found that bacteria can substitute arsenic for phosphorus, which is significant in the search for extraterrestrial life. The phrase "<t>find</t>" here refers to the act of discovering this particular phenomenon, not merely the insight or breakthrough itself. The synonyms "discovery" and "uncovering" align with the act of coming upon something new, whereas "discovery" and "breakthrough" in sense 1 imply a more general productive insight. Given the emphasis on the act of discovering the bacteria's capability, the best match is the sense describing "the act of discovering something."

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

- The sentence discusses "other planetary **environments**," referring to conditions or settings on other planets.
- The focus is on how organisms might adapt to different planetary conditions, suggesting a discussion about the conditions or settings of planets, not just immediate surroundings.

**Candidate Senses:**
1. **Sense 1:** "the totality of surrounding conditions" - This aligns well with the idea of planetary conditions, including atmospheric, geological, and chemical factors that could affect life.
2. **Sense 2:** "the area in which something exists or lives" - This is more about immediate surroundings or a localized area, which is less fitting for the discussion of planetary conditions.

**Synonyms and Examples:**
- Synonyms like "surroundings" and "environs" support the broader interpretation of conditions rather than just immediate locality.
- Example: "he longed for the comfortable environment of his living room" fits the broader sense of conditions.

**Conclusion:**
The context clearly refers to the broader conditions of planetary environments, making **Sense 1** the most appropriate choice.

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

> "The discovery 'does show that in other planetary environments organisms might be able to use other elements to drive biochemistry and that the 'standard' <t>set</t> of elements we think are absolutely necessary for life might not be so fixed,' commented Charles Cockell..."

The phrase "the 'standard' set of elements" refers to a collection of elements considered essential for life. This usage aligns with the definition of a "set" as a group of things of the same kind that belong together and are used together. The context involves scientific discussion about elements necessary for life, fitting the idea of a set of elements.

Reviewing the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=set%1:14:00::** - a group of things of the same kind that belong together and are so used. This matches the context of a collection of elements.
2. Other senses (e.g., mathematical set, exercise set, stage set, etc.) do not fit the context of discussing essential elements for life.

Thus, the best indexed sense is **sense_key=set%1:14:00::**.

The JSON response is:
