raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "new" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The target sentence is: "A test using new 'genetic probes 'showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene..."

Here, "new" is used to describe "genetic probes." The context is about emerging genetic tests and their application in diagnosing cancer susceptibility. The term "new" in this context suggests that the genetic probes being referred to are of a kind not previously used or are recent advancements in the field.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered.** This sense fits the context as it implies the genetic probes are recent or have been recently developed.

2. **Original and of a kind not seen before.** While this could potentially apply, the context doesn't strongly suggest that the genetic probes are entirely novel or unprecedented in their nature, just that they are new in the sense of being recent or advanced.

3. **Lacking training or experience.** This doesn't apply to "genetic probes."

4. **Having no previous example or precedent or parallel.** This is too strong for the context; the probes are new but not necessarily unprecedented.

5. **Other than the former one(s); different.** This could be a possible interpretation but doesn't directly convey the sense of being recent or advanced.

6. **Unaffected by use or exposure.** This doesn't apply to the context of "genetic probes."

7. **Gratuitously new.** This implies a negative connotation of being new just for the sake of being new, which isn't the focus here.

8, 9. **In use after medieval times** and **used of a living language; being the current stage in its development.** These are not relevant to the context.

10. **Harvested at an early stage of development.** This doesn't apply to "genetic probes."

11. **Unfamiliar.** While "new" can sometimes mean unfamiliar, the primary sense here seems to be about the recent development or application of genetic probes.

The most fitting sense is the first one: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered." This is because the context emphasizes the recent development or application of genetic probes in diagnosing cancer susceptibility.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "new" in the given context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "genetic" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the use of genetic tests to identify individuals susceptible to certain cancers, specifically retinoblastoma, and how these tests can determine if a child has inherited a damaged gene. The context revolves around genetics, genes, and heredity.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "genetic" is used in the phrase "genetic probes." The term "probes" in this context likely refers to tools or methods used in genetic testing, such as DNA probes that are used to detect specific DNA sequences.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. occurring among members of a family usually by heredity**: This sense is related to heredity and familial traits. While the passage does discuss heredity, the specific term "genetic probes" is more directly related to the science or study of genes rather than the concept of heredity itself.
   - **2. of or relating to or produced by or being a gene**: This sense directly relates to genes and their functions or products. "Genetic probes" could be understood as being related to genes, as they are used to detect or analyze genes.
   - **3. pertaining to or referring to origin**: This sense is more about the origin or history of something. While genetics can involve studying origins (e.g., the origin of a trait), the term "genetic probes" doesn't directly refer to the origin of something in a broad sense.
   - **4. of or relating to the science of genetics**: This sense is directly related to the field of genetics. "Genetic probes" are tools used within this field.

4. **Making a Decision**:
   - The term "genetic probes" is closely related to the field of genetics and involves the use of genes or genetic material to detect or analyze specific genetic conditions.
   - Senses 2 and 4 are both plausible because they relate to genes and the science of genetics, respectively. However, "genetic probes" is a term that is more directly associated with the methods or tools used in genetic research or diagnostics, which makes it closely related to the science of genetics.
   - Sense 2 ("of or relating to or produced by or being a gene") is very relevant because genetic probes are used in relation to genes. However, the term "genetic" in "genetic probes" directly relates to the field or science of genetics.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Given the context and the specific use of "genetic probes," the most appropriate sense is related to the science of genetics. Thus, the best indexed sense is **4. of or relating to the science of genetics**.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 4}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "showed" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."

Here, "showed" is used in the context of a test providing information or evidence about the genetic status of Will Quinlan regarding the retinoblastoma supressor gene.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. **give an exhibition of to an interested audience** - This doesn't fit as the context is about a test result, not an exhibition.
2. **establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment** - While related, the context is more about providing evidence or information rather than validating a concept or theory.
3. **provide evidence for** - This sense fits well as the test result provides evidence about Will Quinlan's genetic status.
4. **make visible or noticeable** - The test result isn't making something visible or noticeable in the literal sense; it's providing information.
5. & others - Other senses either don't fit the context or are less directly related to the act of providing evidence or information through a test result.

The closest match is sense_key=show%2:32:00:: with the definition **provide evidence for** and synonyms like testify, bear witness, prove, evidence. The example "The blood test showed that he was the father" is particularly relevant, as it parallels the use of "showed" in the context of a test providing evidence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "showed" in the given context is the one corresponding to **provide evidence for**, which is sense_index = 3.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "inherited" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses genetic testing and the risk of retinoblastoma, a type of eye cancer, being passed down through generations. It specifically mentions that Bill Quinlan knew he carried a damaged gene because he and his mother had suffered from the condition. The text then explains that a genetic test was used to determine if their child, Will Quinlan, had inherited the damaged gene.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "inherited" in the sentence: "A test using new 'genetic probes' showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma suppressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "obtain from someone after their death." The context does not imply that the gene was obtained after someone's death; rather, it's about the transmission of a genetic trait.
   - **Sense 2**: "receive from a predecessor." This sense is more related to the transfer of properties, roles, or responsibilities, not genetic traits.
   - **Sense 3**: "receive by genetic transmission." This directly relates to the context provided, as it discusses the transmission of a genetic trait (a damaged retinoblastoma suppressor gene) from parents to their child.

4. **Making the Choice**: The context clearly indicates that the discussion is about genetic transmission. The passage uses terms like "genetic tests," "damaged gene," and "genetic probes," which strongly supports the interpretation that "inherited" refers to receiving a trait through genetic transmission.

5. **Selecting the Best Indexed Sense**: Based on the analysis, the most appropriate sense for "inherited" in the given context is **Sense 3**, as it directly pertains to receiving a characteristic (in this case, a damaged gene) through genetic inheritance.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "inherited" is: {"sense_index": 3}.

Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no <t>more</t> risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. "It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "more" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the risk of a child inheriting a damaged retinoblastoma suppressor gene and developing a rare eye cancer. It mentions that after a genetic test, it was found that little Will Quinlan had not inherited the damaged gene and therefore faced no more risk than other children of developing the cancer.

2. **Target Word Analysis**: The target word is "more" in the phrase "faced no more risk." Here, "more" is used to compare the risk faced by Will Quinlan with that of other children.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: This sense is defined as a comparative of 'much' used with mass nouns, indicating a quantifier meaning greater in size or amount or extent or degree. The example given is "more land; more support." The synonym provided is "more than."
   - **Sense 2**: This sense is defined as a comparative of 'many' used with count nouns, quantifier meaning greater in number. The example given is "a hall with more seats; we have no more bananas."

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - In the given context, "more" is used with the noun "risk," which is a mass noun. The phrase "faced no more risk" implies a comparison of the extent or degree of risk.
   - **Sense 1** fits this context because "risk" is considered a mass noun in this context, and "more" is used to indicate a greater extent or degree of risk. The usage aligns with the definition and examples provided for Sense 1.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the best indexed sense for "more" is **1**.

The response in the required JSON format is: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "risk" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the use of genetic tests to predict the likelihood of a child developing retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer. It mentions that the Quinlan couple's child, Will, had a test that showed he did not inherit a damaged retinoblastoma suppressor gene and thus faced no more risk than other children of developing the cancer.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "risk," and it is used in the context of the probability or likelihood of Will Quinlan developing retinoblastoma.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=risk%1:26:00::**: This sense defines "risk" as a source of danger or a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune. While related, the context specifically talks about the probability or likelihood of developing a condition, not just the condition itself being a danger.
   - **2. sense_key=risk%1:04:00::**: This defines "risk" as a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury. The context does not imply that developing retinoblastoma is a venture; rather, it's about the probability of getting the disease.
   - **3. sense_key=risk%1:07:02::**: This sense is about the probability of becoming infected given exposure to an infectious agent. Although retinoblastoma is a cancer and not an infection, this sense is closest to discussing a probability related to a health condition.
   - **4. sense_key=risk%1:07:01::**: This defines "risk" as the probability of being exposed to an infectious agent. The passage is not about the probability of exposure to a causative agent but rather about the likelihood of developing a condition given a genetic predisposition.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: The context revolves around the likelihood or probability of Will Quinlan developing retinoblastoma. The closest sense related to probability and health condition is **3. sense_key=risk%1:07:02::**, as it deals with the concept of probability in the context of health, even though it specifically mentions infection. The passage implies that the "risk" is about the probability of developing a condition (retinoblastoma), which aligns more with the concept of risk as related to the likelihood of an adverse health outcome.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "risk" in the given context is related to the concept of probability concerning a health condition. Thus, the most appropriate choice is the third sense.

{"sense_index": 1} is incorrect because it refers to a source of danger rather than a probability.
{"sense_index": 2} is incorrect because it implies a venture, which is not relevant here.
{"sense_index": 3} is the best choice because it's about probability concerning a health-related condition, even though it's more specific to infection.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1} is not the best; the best is actually related to the concept closest to probability. So, the best is {"sense_index": 3}.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "children" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a couple, Bill and Bonnie Quinlan, who are at risk of having a child with retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer, due to a genetic predisposition. It mentions that their child, Will Quinlan, was tested and found not to have inherited the damaged gene, thus not being at a higher risk than other children of developing the cancer.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "children," which is the plural form of "child." We need to understand how it is used in the context.

3. **Examining the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a young person of either sex" - synonyms include "kid," "youngster," "minor," etc. The example given is "she writes books for children; they're just kids." This sense aligns with referring to young individuals.
   - **Sense 2**: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age" - synonyms include "kid." Examples are "they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college." This sense is about offspring, regardless of age.
   - **Sense 3**: "an immature childish person" - synonym is "baby." Examples given are "he remained a child in practical matters as long as he lived; stop being a baby!" This refers to someone behaving immaturely.
   - **Sense 4**: "a member of a clan or tribe" - example is "the children of Israel." This is a more specific, group-related usage.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The passage is talking about the risk of a specific cancer in young individuals and compares Will Quinlan's risk to that of "other children." Here, "children" refers to young individuals in general, not specifically to the offspring of the Quinlans or any particular age group beyond being young.
   - The comparison is made in the context of risk for a rare cancer, indicating "children" is used to denote young persons.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the usage in the sentence ("faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer"), the most appropriate sense is **Sense 1** ("a young person of either sex"). This is because "children" here refers to young individuals in general, comparing Will Quinlan's risk to that of other young persons.

6. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The index for Sense 1 is 1.

Therefore, the JSON object representing the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "developing" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "...other children of developing the rare cancer."

The context is about a genetic test that determines whether a child is at risk for retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer. The phrase "developing the rare cancer" refers to the likelihood or risk of the child getting or having the cancer.

Let's look at the candidate senses and their definitions:

1. Make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation.
2. Work out.
3. Gain through experience.
4. Come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes).
5. Come into existence; take on form or shape.
6. Change the use of and make available or usable.
7. Elaborate, as of theories and hypotheses.
8. Create by training and teaching.
9. Be gradually disclosed or unfolded; become manifest.
10. Grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment.
11. Become technologically advanced.
12. Cause to grow and differentiate in ways conforming to its natural development.
13. Generate gradually.
14. Grow emotionally or mature.
15. Make visible by means of chemical solutions.
16. Superimpose a three-dimensional surface on a plane without stretching, in geometry.
17. Move one's pieces into strategically more advantageous positions.
18. Move into a strategically more advantageous position.
19. Elaborate by the unfolding of a musical idea and by the working out of the rhythmic and harmonic changes in the theme.
20. Happen.
21. Expand in the form of a series.

The phrase "developing the rare cancer" is most closely related to the sense of "come to have" or "get" a disease or condition. This aligns with sense 4: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" as it includes examples like "The patient developed abdominal pains," indicating the onset or acquisition of a condition.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "developing" in this context is sense 4.

The Dedham, Mass., couple knew even before Bonnie became pregnant in 1987 that any child of theirs had a 50% chance of being at risk for retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that occurs about once every 20,000 births. Mr. Quinlan, 30 years old, knew he carried a damaged gene, having lost an eye to the rare tumor when he was only two months old -- after his mother had suffered the same fate when she was a baby. Because of the isolation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene, it became possible last January to find out what threat the Quinlan baby faced. A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer. "It <t>made</t> our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "first" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer."

Here, "first" is used to indicate that the test was the initial or pioneering one in predicting reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer. It signifies a beginning or an inaugural event in a series of potential tests or methods for such predictions.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "preceding all others in time or space or degree" - This definition could apply as it implies something happening before others in time.
2. "indicating the beginning unit in a series" - This is a strong candidate because it directly relates to being the first in a series, which aligns with the context of being the initial test.
3. "serving to set in motion" - This implies an action that initiates something else, which is somewhat relevant but not directly applicable to the context of being the "first" test.
4. "serving to begin" - This is relevant as it talks about something that starts or begins something else, which could apply to the context.
5. "ranking above all others" - This implies a sense of superiority or being the best, which is not directly the focus in the given context.
6. "highest in pitch or chief among parts or voices or instruments or orchestra sections" - This is related to music and is not relevant to the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the most suitable sense is related to being the initial or beginning test. Both senses 2 and 4 seem plausible because they both relate to the concept of being the first in a sequence or beginning something. However, sense 2 ("indicating the beginning unit in a series") is more directly related to the ordinal aspect, which fits well with the context of being the first test in a series of potential tests or advancements.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "first" in the given context is sense 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "expect" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer."

Here, "expect" is used in the context of anticipating or regarding something as probable or likely to happen in the future, specifically developing cancer.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "regard something as probable or likely" - This matches the usage in the sentence, as it talks about anticipating the development of cancer based on a test.
2. "consider obligatory; request and expect" - This doesn't fit the context, as the sentence is not about demanding or requiring something.
3. "look forward to the probable occurrence of" - While this could potentially fit in terms of anticipating an event, it slightly differs because "look forward to" often carries a more positive connotation or anticipation than what's implied here.
4. "consider reasonable or due" - This doesn't directly apply to the context of anticipating an event like developing cancer.
5. "look forward to the birth of a child" - This is unrelated to the context, as the sentence is not about expecting a child.
6. "be pregnant with" - This is also unrelated and doesn't fit the context.

The most suitable definition is the first one: "regard something as probable or likely." The synonyms provided for this sense include "anticipate," which aligns with the usage in the given sentence. The example "The meteorologists are expecting rain for tomorrow" illustrates a similar usage of "expect" to mean anticipating something based on available information or prediction.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "expect" in the given context is the first one.

"It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan. This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to <t>develop</t> cancer. 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.
