Target lemma: tablet
Target surface form: tablets
Context:
How has Cerenia been studied? A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA. What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies? The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting. The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again). For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the <t>tablets</t> to the dog. Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the administration of Cerenia, a medicine for treating or preventing vomiting in dogs. It mentions that the treatment starts with an injection but can be followed up with the administration of tablets.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "tablets." The context indicates that "tablets" refers to a form in which the medicine Cerenia is administered.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. a slab of stone or wood suitable for bearing an inscription**: This sense is unrelated to the context of medicine or veterinary treatment.
   - **2. a number of sheets of paper fastened together along one edge**: This refers to a "pad" or "pad of paper," which is not relevant to the administration of medicine.
   - **3. a small flat compressed cake of some substance**: While this could potentially refer to a form of medicine or substance, the specific example given is "a tablet of soap," which doesn't directly relate to medicinal tablets.
   - **4. a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet**: This sense directly relates to the administration of medicine, with synonyms including "pill," "lozenge," and "tab," which are all forms of medicinal doses.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "tablets" refers to a form of medicine.
   - Sense 4 directly corresponds to this understanding, as it defines a "tablet" as a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet.
   - The synonyms provided for sense 4 ("pill," "lozenge," "tab") further support this interpretation, as they are all terms used to describe forms of medicinal doses.

Given the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "tablets" is sense 4, which corresponds to the definition of a dose of medicine.

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

The context revolves around the use of a medicine named Cerenia for preventing or treating vomiting in dogs. It discusses the effectiveness of Cerenia compared to a placebo, the method of administration (injection or tablets), and the importance of addressing the underlying causes of vomiting alongside the treatment.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)**
   - This sense is relevant because the context is about medical treatment for vomiting in dogs. The term "treatment" is used in relation to medical care and intervention.

2. **the management of someone or something**
   - While this is a possible interpretation of "treatment" in a broad sense, it is less specific to the medical context provided.

3. **a manner of dealing with something artistically**
   - This sense is not relevant to the context, as the discussion is about medical treatment, not artistic handling or representation.

4. **an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic**
   - This sense refers to a discussion or discourse on a topic, which is not the primary use of "treatment" in the given context.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense of "treatment" is related to medical care or intervention intended to relieve illness or injury, which corresponds to **sense_index: 1**.

Therefore, the response is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

The sentence is: "Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting."

First, we need to understand the meaning of "only" in this context. The sentence implies that the treatment of vomiting should be accompanied by other supportive measures or veterinary therapy; it should not be done in isolation.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "and nothing more" - This sense suggests that something is limited to the specified action or state without anything additional. While it could fit grammatically, the sentence's focus is on the necessity of combining the treatment with other measures, not just limiting it to being "together" without any other implication.

2. "without any others being included or involved" - This definition implies exclusivity. The sentence is saying that the treatment should be done exclusively together with other measures, which aligns with the context.

3. "with nevertheless the final result" - This doesn't fit the context as the sentence isn't discussing a final result or outcome in the sense of an unexpected twist.

4. "in the final outcome" - This sense doesn't fit as the sentence is not discussing a consequence or outcome of a situation.

5. "except that" - This is used to indicate an exception or a contrast, which isn't the primary function of "only" in the given sentence.

6. "never except when" - This implies a condition, which isn't the primary interpretation here.

7. "as recently as" - This sense is related to time, which isn't relevant to the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the best fit is sense 2, "without any others being included or involved," as it aligns with the idea that the treatment should be done exclusively in conjunction with other supportive measures or therapy. The synonyms provided for this sense (entirely, exclusively, solely, alone) support this interpretation.

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

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

The sentence is: "Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting."

Here, "other" is used to indicate that the treatment should be accompanied by additional or different supportive measures or veterinary therapies beyond what is explicitly mentioned (Cerenia).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." The examples given include "today isn't any other day" and "the construction of highways and other public works." This sense aligns with the usage in the context, where "other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy" implies measures or therapies beyond those already mentioned or implied (in this case, Cerenia).

2. The second sense refers to something "recently past," as in "the other evening." This does not fit the context.

3. The third sense is related to the "distant past," with synonyms like "early" and "former." Examples include "the early inhabitants of Europe" and "former generations." This sense does not match the context.

4. The fourth sense describes something as "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected." An example given is "a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail." While this sense implies a difference, it carries a connotation of something being unusual or unexpected, which is not the primary implication in the given context.

Given the context and the examples, the usage of "other" in "other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy" best aligns with the first sense: indicating something different from what has been mentioned or implied, i.e., additional or different measures beyond Cerenia.

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

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

The sentence is: "Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting."

Here, "measure" is used in the context of treating or managing a medical condition (vomiting in dogs). The term "supportive measure" suggests an action or step taken to support or aid in the treatment or management of the condition.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal** - This definition fits well with the context of taking actions (measures) as part of treating or managing a condition. The synonym "step" is particularly relevant.

2. **how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify** - This doesn't directly fit the context, as "measure" here doesn't refer to a quantity.

3. **a statute in draft before it becomes law** - This is unrelated to the context, as it pertains to legislation.

4. **the act or process of assigning numbers to phenomena according to a rule** - This refers to measurement, which isn't the focus in the given context.

5. **a basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated** - While this could be a possible interpretation in some contexts, it doesn't directly fit the use of "supportive measure" here.

6, 7, 8, 9. These senses relate to prosody, musical notation, measuring instruments, and containers for measuring, respectively. None of these fit the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal." The use of "supportive measure" aligns with taking steps or actions towards a goal (in this case, treating or managing vomiting).

Thus, the best indexed sense for "measure" in this context is the one corresponding to the definition related to actions or steps taken towards a goal.

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

The sentence is: "Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting."

The target word "other" appears twice in this sentence. The context is about the treatment of vomiting in dogs and the use of Cerenia.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense (sense_key=other%3:00:00::) is defined as "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." The examples given are "today isn't any other day" and "the construction of highways and other public works." This sense implies something different or additional to what has been mentioned or implied.

2. The second sense (sense_key=other%5:00:00:past:00) refers to something "recently past," as in "the other evening." This doesn't fit the context of the sentence.

3. The third sense (sense_key=other%5:00:02:past:00) means "belonging to the distant past," with synonyms like "early" and "former." Examples include "the early inhabitants of Europe" and "former generations." This sense doesn't match the context either.

4. The fourth sense (sense_key=other%5:00:00:strange:00) describes something as "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected." An example is "a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail." This sense implies a qualitative difference or strangeness.

Given the context, "other" is used to indicate something additional or different from what has been mentioned or implied (Cerenia), specifically "supportive measure" or "veterinary therapy." The usage here aligns with indicating something different or additional, not necessarily strange or from a different time.

Therefore, the best fit is the first sense, which is about something being different or additional to what has been mentioned.

10. adjust and aim (a golf ball)

The context suggests that "addressing" means dealing with or handling the underlying causes of vomiting. This involves directing one's efforts towards something (the underlying causes).

- Sense 5 ("address or apply oneself to something, direct one's efforts towards something") matches this interpretation as it involves directing efforts towards a problem or issue.
- Sense 8 ("act on verbally or in some form of artistic expression") also seems relevant because it includes synonyms like "deal with," "handle," and "treat," which fit the context of managing or handling the underlying causes of vomiting.

Between these, Sense 5 and Sense 8 are the most relevant. However, Sense 8 is more directly related to the context because "deal with" or "handle" are more commonly used in the context of tackling a problem or issue, such as the underlying causes of vomiting.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "addressing" in the given context is Sense 8, which corresponds to "act on verbally or in some form of artistic expression" with synonyms that include handling or dealing with something.

Context:
A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA. What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies? The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting. The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again). For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog. Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the <t>underlying</t> causes of the vomiting. What is the risk associated with Cerenia?

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

The sentence is: "...while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting."

Here, "underlying" is used to describe the "causes of the vomiting." The context suggests that the causes being referred to are the fundamental or basic reasons for the vomiting, rather than something that is merely implicit or located beneath something else in a physical sense.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "underlying" as "in the nature of something though not readily apparent" with synonyms like "implicit" and "inherent." While this sense could potentially fit, the context suggests that the causes are not just inherent or implicit but are rather the root or fundamental reasons.

2. The second sense refers to something "located beneath or below." This is more of a physical or spatial description, which doesn't fit well with the abstract concept of "causes of vomiting."

3. The third sense defines "underlying" as "being or involving basic facts or principles" with synonyms like "fundamental" and "rudimentary." This sense aligns well with the context, as "underlying causes" here refers to the basic or fundamental reasons for the vomiting.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense for "underlying" is the third one, as it correctly captures the idea of "basic facts or principles" or the fundamental reasons for the condition (vomiting) being discussed.

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

The context is discussing the treatment of vomiting in dogs using a medicine called Cerenia. It mentions that the treatment of vomiting should be accompanied by addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting.

1. The first sense refers to "events that provide the generative force that is the origin of something." The example given is "they are trying to determine the cause of the crash." This sense is related to identifying the origin or reason behind an event. In the context, "causes" refers to the underlying reasons for vomiting, which aligns with this sense.

2. The second sense is defined as "a justification for something existing or happening" with synonyms like "reason" and "grounds." While this sense could potentially fit because "causes" can be understood as reasons, the context is more focused on the origin or source of the vomiting rather than just a justification.

3. The third sense refers to "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end," with examples like "campaigns" or "crusade." This doesn't directly relate to the context of identifying reasons for vomiting.

4. The fourth sense is "any entity that produces an effect or is responsible for events or results," with synonyms like "causal agent" or "causal agency." This sense is more about the agent causing an effect, which is somewhat relevant but not directly fitting the context of "underlying causes of vomiting" as it leans more towards the agent or entity responsible.

5. The fifth sense is related to legal proceedings, which is not relevant to the context.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly relates to the "events or reasons that provide the generative force" behind the vomiting. The sentence is discussing the need to address the underlying reasons or origins of the vomiting.

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 effectiveness and safety of a medicine called Cerenia for treating vomiting in dogs. It mentions the benefits, administration methods, and the importance of addressing underlying causes. The sentence with the target word "risk" is: "What is the risk associated with Cerenia?" This indicates the context is about the potential negative consequences or dangers associated with using Cerenia.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=risk%1:26:00::**: Defines "risk" as a source of danger or a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune. Synonyms include hazard, jeopardy, peril, and endangerment.
   - **2. sense_key=risk%1:04:00::**: Defines "risk" as a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury. Synonyms are peril and danger.
   - **3. sense_key=risk%1:07:02::**: Refers to the probability of becoming infected given exposure to an infectious agent. The synonym is "risk of infection."
   - **4. sense_key=risk%1:07:01::**: Refers to the probability of being exposed to an infectious agent. The synonym is "risk of exposure."

3. **Analyzing the Context and Candidate Senses**:
   - The context is about the potential negative consequences or dangers of using Cerenia for treating vomiting in dogs.
   - The first sense (risk%1:26:00::) fits well because it talks about a source of danger or possibility of incurring loss or misfortune, which aligns with inquiring about the negative aspects or hazards associated with Cerenia.
   - The second sense (risk%1:04:00::) implies undertaking a venture without regard to possible loss, which doesn't directly fit the context of inquiring about the dangers of a medicine.
   - The third and fourth senses (risk%1:07:02:: and risk%1:07:01::) are related to the probability of infection or exposure to an infectious agent, which is not directly relevant to the context of discussing the general risks associated with a veterinary medicine like Cerenia.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context is about inquiring into the dangers or negative consequences associated with Cerenia, the most appropriate sense is the first one, which is about a source of danger or possibility of incurring loss or misfortune.

5. **Conclusion**:
   - The best indexed sense for "risk" in the given context is the first sense.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

The sentence is: "Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment)."

1. The first sense suggests that "generally" means "usually; as a rule" with synonyms like "by and large," "more often than not," and "mostly." The example given is "by and large it doesn't rain much here." This sense implies a general tendency or rule. In the context, "Cerenia was generally well tolerated" implies that, as a rule or usually, Cerenia was well tolerated, which fits this sense.

2. The second sense defines "generally" as "without distinction of one from others" with synonyms "in general" and "in the main." The example is "he is interested in snakes in general." This sense is about a general category or overall view without specifying individual differences. While it could fit grammatically, the context is more about the usual or typical tolerance of Cerenia rather than a categorical or overall view.

3. The third sense is "without regard to specific details or exceptions" with synonyms "broadly," "loosely," and "broadly speaking." The example is "he interprets the law broadly." This sense is about considering something in a broad or general manner, disregarding specific details. The context does not directly imply ignoring specific details or exceptions regarding the tolerance of Cerenia.

Given the context, "generally" is used to indicate that Cerenia was "usually" or "as a rule" well tolerated. This aligns with the first sense, which is about a general tendency or rule.

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

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

The sentence is: "Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment)."

The context is about the tolerance of a medicine, Cerenia, when administered in high dosages or for an extended period. The word "well" here is used to describe how Cerenia was tolerated.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. in a good or proper or satisfactory manner or to a high standard - This could potentially fit as it implies a positive aspect.
2. thoroughly or completely; fully - This sense implies a completeness or thoroughness, which could apply to being tolerated.
3. indicating high probability; in all likelihood - This doesn't directly relate to the context of tolerance.
4. entirely or fully - This is a possible interpretation as it suggests a complete or full tolerance.
5. to a suitable or appropriate extent or degree - This could fit as it implies a certain level of tolerance.
6. favorably; with approval - While related to positive sentiment, it doesn't directly describe the manner of tolerance.
7. to a great extent or degree - This implies a significant level, which could apply to the degree of tolerance.
8. with great or especially intimate knowledge - This doesn't relate to the context.
9. with prudence or propriety - This also doesn't directly relate to the tolerance of a medicine.
10. with skill or in a pleasing manner - Not directly relevant to the context of medical tolerance.
11. in a manner affording benefit or advantage - Not directly related to the tolerance.
12. in financial comfort - Not relevant to the context.
13. without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor - Not directly related to the tolerance of a medicine.

The word "well" in the given context is used to describe the tolerance of Cerenia. The closest meaning is that Cerenia was tolerated "in a good or proper or satisfactory manner or to a high standard," which aligns with sense 1. It indicates that the medicine was tolerated without significant adverse effects, implying a good or satisfactory tolerance.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "well" in this context is sense 1.

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

The context is about a medicine called Cerenia, used for treating or preventing vomiting in dogs. The sentence where "tolerated" appears discusses the risk associated with Cerenia, stating that it was "generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is about putting up with something or somebody unpleasant. While this could broadly apply, the context is more specific to the medical tolerance of a drug.

2. The second sense involves recognizing and respecting the rights and beliefs of others, which doesn't fit the context of a medical treatment and its tolerance by an organism.

3. The third sense is about having a tolerance for a poison, strong drug, pathogen, or environmental condition. This aligns closely with the context, as it discusses the tolerance of a drug (Cerenia) by dogs.

4. The fourth sense is about allowing the presence of something or someone or permitting an activity. This doesn't directly relate to the medical context of tolerating a drug.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the third one, which is about having a tolerance for a strong drug. The sentence discusses how Cerenia was "well tolerated" in terms of its administration to dogs, indicating the drug's tolerance by the canine organisms.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "tolerated" in this context is 3.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the administration of a medicine named Cerenia to dogs for the treatment or prevention of vomiting. It mentions the effectiveness of the medicine, the method of administration (injection or tablets), and the tolerance of the medicine at various dosages.

2. **Target Word**: The target word is "administered," which is a form of the lemma "administer."

3. **Candidate Senses**:
   - Sense 1: work in an administrative capacity; supervise or be in charge of. (e.g., administer a program)
   - Sense 2: perform (a church sacrament) ritually. (e.g., administer the last unction)
   - Sense 3: administer or bestow, as in small portions. (e.g., administer critical remarks; synonyms: distribute, mete out, deal, parcel out, lot, dispense)
   - Sense 4: give or apply (medications). (e.g., synonyms: dispense)
   - Sense 5: direct the taking of. (e.g., administer an exam; administer an oath)

4. **Analysis**:
   - The context revolves around the administration of a medication (Cerenia) to dogs.
   - The action involves giving or applying the medication, which directly relates to Sense 4: "give or apply (medications)" with synonyms like "dispense."
   - Although Sense 3 involves "administer or bestow, as in small portions" and includes "dispense" as a synonym, its examples and primary definition lean more towards abstract or non-medical distributions (e.g., "administer critical remarks").
   - Sense 4 directly corresponds to the context of giving medication.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "administered" in the given context is Sense 4, as it directly relates to giving or applying medications.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 4.

Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting. What is the risk associated with Cerenia? Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered <t>daily</t> at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment). What are the precautions for the person who gives the medicine or comes into contact with the animal?

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

The context discusses the administration of a medicine called Cerenia to dogs for the treatment or prevention of vomiting. The specific sentence where "daily" appears is: "Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment)."

The two candidate senses for "daily" are:
1. every day; without missing a day
2. gradually and progressively (synonyms: day by day)

The sentence context indicates that "daily" refers to the frequency of administering Cerenia, implying that it is given every day without missing a day. This matches the first definition: "every day; without missing a day." The example given for this sense, "he stops by daily," illustrates the same usage, where "daily" denotes a regular, day-to-day occurrence.

The second definition, "gradually and progressively," does not fit the context as well because "daily" here is not describing a gradual change or progression but rather the frequency of administration.

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

Context:
The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting. The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again). For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog. Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting. What is the risk associated with Cerenia? Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at <t>dosages</t> up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment). What are the precautions for the person who gives the medicine or comes into contact with the animal?

Candidate senses:

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for "dosages" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context discusses the administration of Cerenia, a medicine for dogs, and its tolerance at various dosages. The sentence specifically mentions that "Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time."

1. The first sense (dosage%1:23:00::) defines "dosage" as "the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time" and is synonymous with "dose." This definition focuses on the quantity of the substance.

2. The second sense (dosage%1:06:00::) defines "dosage" as "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time," also synonymous with "dose." This definition emphasizes a measured portion.

Both definitions relate to the quantity or amount of a medicine or substance administered. However, the context here is discussing the quantity of Cerenia administered over a period, comparing it to "the recommended doses." The term "dosages" is used in relation to varying the quantity of the medicine administered.

Given that "dosages" refers to varying quantities of the medicine (Cerenia) and is compared directly to "doses," we need to consider which sense fits best. The first sense focuses on the quantity of an active agent taken in or absorbed, which aligns with the context of varying the amount of Cerenia administered. The second sense is more about a measured portion taken at any one time, which is also relevant but slightly more specific to a single administration.

The context implies a discussion about the quantity of the medicine that can be administered, which is more aligned with the first sense's focus on the quantity of an active agent. However, both senses are closely related, and the distinction is subtle.

Upon closer inspection, the sentence implies that "dosages" refers to the amount of medicine given, which is directly related to the concept of "dose." Both candidate senses relate to this concept. The key here is understanding that "dosages" is being used to refer to different levels or amounts of the medicine being administered, which is a concept closely related to both definitions provided.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a veterinary medicine named Cerenia, its effectiveness in preventing or treating vomiting in dogs, and its tolerance when administered at various dosages. The context is medical and veterinary.

2. **Target Word**: The target word is "doses," which is a form of the lemma "dose."

3. **Candidate Senses**:
   - Sense 1: a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time. Synonyms include "dosage."
   - Sense 2: the quantity of an active agent (substance or radiation) taken in or absorbed at any one time. Synonyms include "dosage."
   - Sense 3: a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact. Synonyms include "venereal disease," "VD," "venereal infection," "social disease," "Cupid's itch," "Cupid's disease."
   - Sense 4: street name for lysergic acid diethylamide. Synonyms include "acid," "back breaker," "battery-acid," "dot," "Elvis," "loony toons."

4. **Analysis**:
   - The context is about veterinary medicine and the administration of a specific drug (Cerenia) to dogs.
   - Both Sense 1 and Sense 2 relate to the quantity of a substance (medicine or an active agent) taken at one time, which fits the context of administering medicine.
   - Sense 3 and Sense 4 are unrelated to the context of veterinary medicine and drug administration in the given passage.

5. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - Between Sense 1 and Sense 2, both could potentially fit because they both relate to the administration of medicine. However, Sense 2 is broader and encompasses not just medicine but any active agent, including radiation. The context specifically talks about the administration of a veterinary medicine.
   - Sense 1 directly refers to "a measured portion of medicine taken at any one time," which aligns closely with the context of administering Cerenia to dogs.

6. **Decision**:
   - Given that "doses" refers to the quantity of the medicine Cerenia administered to dogs, and considering the context and the definitions provided, Sense 1 is the most appropriate. It directly relates to the administration of medicine.

7. **Indexed Sense**: The best indexed sense for "doses" in the given context corresponds to the first definition.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The text discusses the efficacy and safety of a medicine called Cerenia for treating vomiting in dogs. It mentions that Cerenia was well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period.

2. **Target Word Analysis**: The target word is "extended," which is used to describe the duration of the treatment period.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=extended%5:00:00:long:02**: This sense refers to something being relatively long in duration. The example given is "a drawn-out argument; an extended discussion." The context of "extended period of time" fits this description as it refers to a duration that is considered long.
   - **2. sense_key=extended%3:00:00::**: This sense is about being fully extended or stretched forth, as in "an extended telescope; his extended legs reached almost across the small room." This doesn't directly relate to duration but to physical extension or stretching.
   - **3. sense_key=extended%5:00:00:long:01**: This refers to something being drawn out or made longer spatially, with examples like "lengthened skirts are fashionable this year." While it involves the concept of length, it's more about spatial extension rather than duration.
   - **4. sense_key=extended%5:00:00:figurative:00**: This sense is about a word or phrase being used beyond its literal or primary sense. The example given is "`hot off the press' shows an extended sense of `hot'." The use of "extended" here is figurative and doesn't directly apply to the context of duration or spatial extent.
   - **5. sense_key=extended%5:00:00:large:00**: This sense refers to something being large in spatial extent or range or scope or quantity, with "extensive" as a synonym. An example is "an extensive Roman settlement." While it implies a form of extension, it's more about the scale or scope rather than specifically duration.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: The context clearly refers to the duration of the treatment ("for an extended period of time"), indicating that the relevant sense is related to the length or duration of time rather than spatial extent or figurative usage. The most relevant definition is the one that describes something as being relatively long in duration.

Given the context and the definitions provided, the best match is **sense_index=1**, as it directly relates to the duration being long ("relatively long in duration; tediously protracted").
