Context:
KIM: I got home, let the dogs into the house and noticed some sounds above my head, as if someone were walking on the roof, or upstairs. Then I noticed the car was bouncing up and down as if someone were jumping on it. I realized what was happening and screamed into the house for the dogs. Cupboard doors were flying, the trash can in the kitchen walked a few feet, the dogs came running, and I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete. When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to <t>come</t> home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened.

The target word "come" in the phrase "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home" refers to arriving at or reaching a destination (the home). This is the sense of movement completed with arrival at a specific location, exemplified by "She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight," which directly parallels the usage here of waiting for someone to come/arrive home.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "come" in this sentence:

"When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there."

The speaker is waiting for Merrill (presumably her husband) to come home. The word "come" here means that Merrill should arrive at the home/house. This is clearly about Merrill arriving at a destination (the home).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody" - This is about movement toward a destination.
2. "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - This is about arriving at a destination (the home). Examples include "She arrived home at 7 o'clock".
3. "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" - This is about something happening over time.
4. "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position" - This is about reaching a state or condition.
5-21. Other senses not applicable.

The key difference between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1: "move toward" - emphasizes the movement toward
- Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - emphasizes arriving at/reaching the destination

In the context "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home", the speaker is specifically waiting for Merrill to reach/arrive at home. The focus is on the completion of the journey (arriving at the destination), not just the movement toward it.

This is more aligned with sense 2, which explicitly includes "arrive by movement or progress" and has examples like "She arrived home at 7 o'clock".

Actually, looking more carefully, "come home" typically means to arrive at home, which is sense 2 "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress".
The answer is sense 2.

The context shows that the speaker is waiting for Merrill to "come home" after a frightening natural disaster event (likely an earthquake, given the descriptions of shaking and objects moving). In this usage, "home" refers to the specific place where the speaker lives - the residence they share with Merrill. This matches sense 1: "where you live at a particular time," which directly describes the act of returning to one's residence. The narrative context about the house being shaken, the dogs, and waiting for Merrill to return to that physical location confirms this concrete, location-based meaning rather than more abstract or institutional senses.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "home" in this sentence:

"When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come <t>home</t>, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there."

The speaker is waiting for Merrill to "come home" - meaning return to where they live. This is clearly referring to the place where the person lives/resides.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. "where you live at a particular time" - This fits. Merrill is coming to where they live.
2. "housing that someone is living in" - This is about the physical dwelling/structure.
3. "the country or state or city where you live" - This is too broad geographically.
4. "baseball base" - Not applicable here.
5. "place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end" - Not applicable (military base).
6. "place where something began and flourished" - Not applicable.
7. "an environment offering affection and security" - Possible, but more abstract.
8. "a social unit living together" - This is about the family/household unit, not the place itself.
9. "an institution where people are cared for" - Not applicable.

The key phrase is "come home" - this is about returning to the place where one lives. Sense 1 ("where you live at a particular time") is the most appropriate. It captures the immediate meaning that the person is waiting for Merrill to return to where they live.

Sense 7 could work in some contexts as it has the example "home is where the heart is" which is sentimental, but in this narrative context, the meaning is straightforward - waiting for Merrill to return to their residence.

The best answer is sense 1.

The context shows someone waiting for her husband to arrive home after experiencing what appears to be an earthquake. The phrase "until he got there" indicates arrival at a destination (the house). This matches sense 5: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" with synonyms "arrive, come" and examples like "She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight."

reasoning_content:
The context is about someone who went home during what seems to be an earthquake or some kind of disaster, and is waiting for her husband (Merrill) to come home. The specific sentence is: "until he got there."

In this context, "got there" means "arrived" or "came to that place." The person is waiting for Merrill to arrive/come home.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=get%2:40:00:: - acquire, possess something - NOT the right sense
2. sense_key=get%2:30:00:: - become, go (enter or assume a state) - NOT the right sense

5. sense_key=get%2:38:00:: - **reach a destination; arrive** | synonyms=arrive, come | examples=She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight - THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE
6. sense_key=get%2:35:03:: - fetch, bring - NOT the right sense
7. sense_key=get%2:39:00:: - experience - NOT the right sense

The best fit is sense 5: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" with synonyms "arrive, come" and examples like "She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight."

In the sentence "until he got there," the meaning is clearly that the speaker waited until Merrill arrived/reached the house. This is exactly what sense 5 describes.

The phrase "Never in my life have I been so frightened" uses "life" to refer to the period from the speaker's birth until the present moment. This is the idiomatic expression meaning the entire span of the speaker's existence up to now, which matches sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "life" in the phrase "Never in my life have I been so frightened."

The speaker is describing a traumatic experience during an earthquake. The phrase "Never in my life" is a common expression that refers to the entire period during which the person has been alive.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=life%1:26:01:: - a characteristic state or mode of living (social life; city life) - Not a match
2. sense_key=life%1:09:00:: - the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities - Possible, but not the best fit
3. sense_key=life%1:26:02:: - the course of existence of an individual - This could work
4. sense_key=life%1:26:00:: - the condition of living or the state of being alive - Not quite right
5. sense_key=life%1:28:00:: - the period during which something is functional - Possible
6. sense_key=life%1:28:01:: - the period between birth and the present time - This seems like the best fit! "Never in my life" = "Never in the period from my birth to now"
7. sense_key=life%1:28:02:: - the period from the present until death - Not a match
8. sense_key=life%1:18:00:: - a living person - Not a match
9. sense_key=life%1:07:01:: - animation and energy - Not a match
10. sense_key=life%1:03:00:: - living things collectively - Not a match
11. sense_key=life%1:19:00:: - the organic phenomenon - Not a match
12. sense_key=life%1:10:00:: - an account of events making up a person's life - Not a match
13. sense_key=life%1:16:00:: - a motive for living - Not a match
14. sense_key=life%1:28:03:: - a prison term - Not a match

The most fitting sense is clearly the one referring to the span from birth to the present moment, as "Never in my life" expresses something that hasn't occurred throughout the speaker's entire existence up to now.

The context describes the person looking at pictures of the damaged Bay Bridge and Route 880 following the earthquake. "When I saw the pictures" means they perceived these images by sight - the basic visual perception sense of the verb. This matches sense 1 (perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight) perfectly, as exemplified in the provided examples like "Can you see the bird in that tree?"

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The person is describing a traumatic earthquake experience. After the earthquake ends and they're standing outside, the passage states: "When I <t>saw</t> the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry."

In this context, "saw" means they looked at or observed pictures - specifically pictures of the Cypress Street Viaduct (Route 880) and the Bay Bridge, which were damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The person is describing actually viewing/observing pictures.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight - This is about visual perception, seeing something directly
2. perceive (an idea or situation) mentally - Understanding, like "Now I see!"
3. perceive or be contemporaneous with - witness, find
4. imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind - visualize
5. deem to be - consider
6. get to know or become aware of - learn, hear
7. see or watch - watch, view, catch, take in
8. come together - meet, encounter
9. find out, learn, or determine with certainty
10. be careful or certain to do something
11. go to see for professional reasons
12. go to see for a social visit
13. go to see a place for entertainment
14. take charge of or deal with
15. receive as a specified guest
16. date regularly
17. see and understand, have a good eye
18. deliberate or decide
19. observe as if with an eye
20. observe, check out, and look over carefully
21. go or live through - experience
22. accompany or escort
23. match or meet
24. make sense of; assign a meaning

The context is: "When I <t>saw</t> the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge"

This is about looking at pictures - perceiving them visually.

The most fitting sense is the first one: basic visual perception where they looked at and perceived the pictures directly, similar to examples like "Can you see the bird in that tree?" The answer is sense_index: 1

The context describes someone witnessing an earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area (referencing Highway 880 and the Bay Bridge). When they saw the "pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge," they were looking at photographs—specifically, news images documenting earthquake damage to these locations. Sense 10 (photographs recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material) is the best fit for this usage, as it specifically refers to visual representations captured through photography rather than general visual representations or other art forms.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The person is describing experiencing what appears to be an earthquake. They mention:
- The car bouncing
- Cupboard doors flying
- Trash cans moving
- Dogs being brought inside
- Standing outside watching trash cans dance across concrete
- Waiting for someone to come home
- Being frightened
- Seeing "pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge"

The key phrase is "When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry."

880 is a highway in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bay Bridge is the San Francisco Bay Bridge. This suggests the person is looking at photographs or images (likely news photos) showing damage from the earthquake to these locations.

So "pictures" here refers to visual representations, most likely photographs or images showing the damage from what was clearly a significant earthquake (likely the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the Bay Area).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. A visual representation (of an object or scene or person or abstraction) produced on a surface - could fit, this is general
2. Graphic art/painting - doesn't fit, these aren't paintings
3. Mental image - doesn't fit, these are actual photos
4. A situation treated as an observable object - doesn't fit well
5. Illustrations used to decorate or explain a text - could fit, but not the best
6. Movie/film - doesn't fit
7. Television image - doesn't fit
8. Graphic or vivid verbal description - doesn't fit, these are visual
9. Typical example of some state or quality - doesn't fit
10. A representation in the form of a print or transparent slide; recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material (photograph) - this fits best

The best answer is sense 10, which specifically defines pictures as photographs recorded by a camera. The context strongly suggests these are news photographs of earthquake damage to the Bay Bridge and Highway 880.
Sense 1 is too broad and general, whereas sense 10 directly captures what "pictures" means in this context—photographs documenting the earthquake's destruction. The answer is 10.

The context shows the speaker starting to perform the action of crying: "I began to cry." This matches sense 1 - "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - as evidenced by the similar pattern in the provided examples "We began working at dawn." The speaker is initiating the action of crying in response to seeing the earthquake damage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "began" is correct.

The sentence is: "When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry."

The speaker is describing starting to cry after seeing pictures of damage from what appears to be an earthquake (based on the context about the house shaking, trash cans, etc.).

Let me examine each sense:

1. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - This could work, as crying is an action. The example is "We began working at dawn"

2. "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - This is about something having a beginning (like a place or event)

3. "set in motion, cause to start" - This means to cause something to begin (like starting a war)

4. "begin to speak or say" - This is about speaking

5. "be the first item or point, constitute the beginning or start" - This is about being the first item

6. "have a beginning, of a temporal event" - This is about events having a beginning (like WW II began in 1939)

7. "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" - This is about how something begins (like "The novel begins with a murder")

8. "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" - This is about beginning a specific activity (like "begin a cigar")

9. "achieve or accomplish in the least degree" - This is about accomplishing something in the least degree

10. "begin to speak, understand, read, and write a language" - This is about starting to learn a language

The key phrase is "began to cry." Crying is an action/activity that the speaker initiated. The verb pattern is "began to [verb]" where the infinitive follows.

Looking at sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" with examples "We began working at dawn; Who will start?" - This seems to fit. The speaker began the action of crying.
Sense 8 also fits the pattern of starting a specific activity, but sense 1 is broader and more directly applies to initiating any action like crying.

The context describes a traumatic earthquake experience where the narrator was extremely frightened. Upon seeing pictures of the damage to the Bay Bridge and area 880, they "began to cry." This is clearly about shedding tears due to emotional distress (fear, sadness, horror at the destruction) rather than uttering loud sounds. Sense 2 ("shed tears because of sadness, rage, or pain") with its synonyms and examples of crying in response to distressing news perfectly matches this emotional response to witnessing the aftermath of the disaster.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The narrator is describing a traumatic earthquake experience - their car bouncing, doors flying, trash cans moving, dogs being scared, etc. This was a terrifying situation. After it was over, the narrator went to see pictures of the damage (880 and the Bay Bridge) and "began to cry."

Given that context:
- The narrator was extremely frightened during the earthquake ("Never in my life have I been so frightened")
- They then saw pictures of the damage
- They began to cry

This is clearly about shedding tears due to emotional distress (fear, sadness, horror at the destruction). This is not about screaming out loud or making a loud utterance - it's about an emotional response to traumatic events.

Let me check the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=cry%2:32:01:: - "utter a sudden loud cry" - This is about making a loud sound, not about tears. Examples show "cried with pain" and "yelled" - not about tears.

2. sense_key=cry%2:29:00:: - "shed tears because of sadness, rage, or pain" - This is clearly about shedding tears. Examples: "She cried bitterly when she heard the news of his death; The girl in the wheelchair wept with frustration" - This matches the context perfectly.

3. sense_key=cry%2:32:07:: - "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" - This is about uttering words, not shedding tears.

4. sense_key=cry%2:32:02:: - "proclaim or announce in public" - Not relevant.

5. sense_key=cry%2:34:00:: - "demand immediate action" - Not relevant.

6. sense_key=cry%2:32:03:: - "utter a characteristic sound" - Not relevant (this would be for animals).
7. sense_key=cry%2:29:02:: - "bring into a particular state by crying" - This describes a secondary effect of crying rather than the act itself. The answer is sense 2, which directly captures shedding tears in response to emotional trauma. The narrator's tears upon witnessing the earthquake's destruction align perfectly with this definition.

The context describes a pajama party that lasted "all evening," with people and dogs socializing together. This is a special way of spending time in the early part of night, which aligns with sense 3 ("the early part of night spent in a special way"). The example "an evening at the opera" parallels the social, recreational nature of the pajama party described in the text.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "evening" is being used.

The context is: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."

This is a description of an event (a pajama party) that lasted throughout the evening. The speaker is describing what happened during the evening hours - people were walking around, drinking beer.

Let me examine each sense:

1. Sense 1 (evening%1:28:00::): "the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)" - This refers to the time period from late afternoon until sunset/nightfall. The synonyms include "eve, even, eventide."

2. Sense 2 (evening%1:28:01::): "a later concluding time period" - This is a metaphorical/abstract use, as in "the evening of the Roman Empire" meaning a declining period.

3. Sense 3 (evening%1:28:02::): "the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way" - This refers to the time after dinner until bedtime, often spent doing something special or social.

Looking at the context: "a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer"

The pajama party seems to be an evening social event. The time of day seems to be the early part of night (given the context of a pajama party). This suggests sense 3 is most appropriate - it's describing a special way of spending the early part of night.

However, let me reconsider. The phrase "all evening" could mean throughout the latter part of the day/early night. A pajama party would typically happen in the early evening or night hours.

Actually, sense 3 explicitly says "the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way" and the example is "an evening at the opera" - which is a special way of spending time in the evening. The pajama party described in the context is similarly a special way of spending the evening.
Sense 3 fits best here—the pajama party is a social activity that characterizes how the evening was spent, matching the definition of a special way to pass the early night hours.

The target word "people" in this context refers to a group of individuals gathered at a pajama party in the Sunset District. This is the most general and basic sense of "people" as any collective group of human beings, matching the definition and examples provided in sense 1 (similar to "there were at least 200 people in the audience"). The other senses refer to more specific contexts: citizens of a state (sense 2), family members (sense 3), or the masses as a social class (sense 4), none of which apply here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "people" in this passage.

The context: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."

The word "people" is used to refer to a group of individuals who were walking around in the Sunset District at a pajama party event. This is a straightforward reference to a collection of human beings gathered in a specific location.

Let me examine each sense:

1. Sense 1 (people%1:14:00::): "(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively" - This is the most general sense referring to any group of humans collectively. The examples are "old people; there were at least 200 people in the audience" - this matches the context where "lots of people" is referring to a general group of individuals gathered.

2. Sense 2 (people%1:14:01::): "the body of citizens of a state or country" - This refers to all citizens of a nation or state. The context doesn't suggest a reference to citizens of a state or country collectively. This doesn't fit.

3. Sense 3 (people%1:14:02::): "members of a family line" - This refers to relatives or family members. The context shows people at a party, not family members. This doesn't fit.

4. Sense 4 (people%1:14:03::): "the common people generally" - This refers to common people as opposed to elites or nobility (synonyms: masses, hoi polloi). The context is just people at a party, not suggesting a class distinction.

The best fit is Sense 1. The context is simply referring to a group of human beings at a pajama party, which matches the definition "any group of human beings collectively" with examples like "there were at least 200 people in the audience" - very similar to "lots of people" walking around at a party.

The context clearly describes dogs as animals walking around at a social gathering ("lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer"). This is a straightforward reference to domesticated dogs as animals present at the event, matching the standard sense of "dog" as a member of the genus Canis - a domesticated animal.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "dogs" is being used.

Context: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."

The sentence describes a social gathering where "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer." This clearly refers to actual dogs - animals - that people bring to a social event or party. The dogs are literally walking around with people at this gathering.

Let me consider each sense:

1. sense_key=dog%1:05:00:: - "a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds" - This is the standard domestic dog/animal meaning. This fits perfectly with "dogs walking around" at a social gathering.

2. sense_key=dog%1:18:01:: - "a dull unattractive unpleasant girl or woman" - This is a derogatory slang term for an unattractive woman. This doesn't fit because the sentence talks about dogs walking around with people, not women.

3. sense_key=dog%1:18:00:: - "informal term for a man" - This is slang for a man. Doesn't fit the context.

4. sense_key=dog%1:18:02:: - "someone who is morally reprehensible" - This is derogatory slang. Doesn't fit.

5. sense_key=dog%1:13:01:: - "a smooth-textured sausage of minced beef or pork usually smoked; often served on a bread roll" - This is a hot dog/frankfurter. While people at a party might eat hot dogs, the context says "dogs walking around" which wouldn't make sense for food items.
The remaining senses—mechanical devices like ratchet catches and fireplace equipment—don't apply to the context at all.

The domestic animal sense is the only interpretation that makes sense given the description of dogs walking around at a social gathering.

The context describes people and dogs moving about casually at a social gathering (pajama party), drinking beer and moving around without apparent direction or purpose. This aligns with sense 1, which means "walk with no particular goal" and includes examples like "we were walking around in the garden." The scene depicts aimless, leisurely movement at a social event, not movement around a specific object (sense 2), nor a manner of conduct (sense 3), nor specifically seeking something while wandering (sense 4).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for "walking around".

Context: "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer" - This is describing people and dogs at what sounds like a casual party/gathering, moving around while drinking beer.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=walk_around%2:38:00:: - "walk with no particular goal" - synonyms: perambulate, walk about - examples include "we were walking around in the garden; after breakfast, she walked about in the park"
   - This fits well with the context of casual movement without a specific purpose at a party

2. sense_key=walk_around%2:38:01:: - "walk around something" - synonym: circumambulate
   - This means walking in a circle around an object, which doesn't fit the context

3. sense_key=walk_around%2:41:00:: - "behave in a certain manner or have certain properties" - examples: "He walks around with his nose in the air; She walks around with this strange boyfriend"
   - This is more about a manner of conducting oneself or a characteristic behavior, doesn't fit as well

4. sense_key=walk_around%2:41:01:: - "walk randomly" - example: "We were walking around in the neighborhood to see whether we could find an open drugstore"
   - This is about wandering or moving randomly, could fit

The key phrase is "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer" at a "pajama party all evening". This suggests casual, aimless movement at a social gathering - people just moving about without a particular destination, which aligns best with sense 1: "walk with no particular goal".

Sense 4 (walk randomly) is similar but sense 1 is more general and fits better with the social party context where people are just casually moving around.
The first sense captures this best—people moving about aimlessly at a social event without any specific destination in mind.

The context describes people "drinking beer" at a social gathering. The explicit mention of beer (an alcoholic beverage) makes sense 2 (consume alcohol) the best fit, rather than sense 1 (general consumption of liquids). This is casual social drinking, not excessive drinking that would warrant sense 5.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "drinking" in this passage.

The context says: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."

The sentence is describing people walking around and drinking beer at what sounds like a social gathering.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=drink%2:34:00:: | definition=take in liquids | synonyms=imbibe | examples=The patient must drink several liters each day; The children like to drink soda
   - This is the general sense of consuming liquids

2. sense_key=drink%2:34:01:: | definition=consume alcohol | synonyms=booze, fuddle | examples=We were up drinking all night
   - This specifically refers to consuming alcohol

3. sense_key=drink%2:34:12:: | definition=propose a toast to | synonyms=toast, pledge, salute, wassail | examples=Let us toast the birthday girl!; Let's drink to the New Year
   - This is about making a toast, not relevant here

4. sense_key=drink%2:31:00:: | definition=be fascinated or spell-bound by; pay close attention to | synonyms=drink in | examples=The mother drinks in every word of her son on the stage
   - This is a different meaning about being fascinated, not relevant

5. sense_key=drink%2:34:02:: | definition=drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic | synonyms=tope | examples=The husband drinks and beats his wife
   - This implies chronic drinking/alcoholism, not just casual social drinking

The context mentions "drinking beer" - they are consuming beer at a social gathering.

Senses 1 and 2 both fit the basic meaning, but the specific mention of "beer" indicates we're talking about consuming alcohol specifically. Sense 1 is the most general (take in liquids), while sense 2 specifically refers to consuming alcohol.
Since the object is "beer" (an alcoholic beverage), sense 2 "consume alcohol" is the most appropriate choice. This is casual social drinking at a gathering, not excessive drinking, so sense 5 doesn't apply.

The context "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients" uses "sitting down" to describe the action of settling in or beginning to engage in the activity of meeting with clients. This matches the sense of "take a seat" rather than describing a completed state of being seated or one person seating another.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for "sitting down" in the sentence:

"I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."

The context shows that the speaker was in the process of beginning to meet with therapy clients. The phrase "sitting down to meet" suggests the beginning of an activity or action.

Let me examine the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=sit_down%2:38:00:: | definition=take a seat | synonyms=sit
   - This means the act of assuming a seated position

2. sense_key=sit_down%2:35:00:: | definition=show to a seat; assign a seat for | synonyms=seat, sit | examples=The host seated me next to Mrs. Smith
   - This is about one person seating another person, showing them to a seat. This doesn't fit the context since CAROLG is talking about themselves.

3. sense_key=sit_down%2:35:03:: | definition=be seated | synonyms=sit
   - This means to be in a seated position

Looking at the sentence more carefully: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients"

The phrase "sitting down to meet" typically means to settle down or prepare to engage in an activity (meeting with clients). This is idiomatic usage where "sitting down to" means beginning or settling in to do something.

Sense 1 (take a seat) is about the physical action of transitioning to a seated position.
Sense 3 (be seated) is about being in the state of being seated.

The phrase "sitting down to meet" is actually using the construction "sit down to [verb]" which means to settle in to do something. This fits best with sense 1 - "take a seat" - because it's about the action/beginning of settling in to meet.
Sense 1 captures the action of settling in to begin the meeting, making it the most appropriate choice here.

The context shows the speaker was "sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients" for a specific professional purpose. This is a planned gathering with a defined purpose (therapy session), which matches sense 2: "get together socially or for a specific purpose."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"I was just sitting down to <t>meet</t> with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."

The speaker is "sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients" - this indicates the action of coming together for a specific purpose (a therapy session).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. come together - encounter, see (more casual meeting)
2. get together socially or for a specific purpose - get together (THIS SEEMS RIGHT)
3. be adjacent or come together - converge (physical space)
4. fill or meet a want or need - satisfy (not applicable here)
5. satisfy a condition or restriction - fit, conform to (not applicable)
6. satisfy or fulfill - match, cope with (not applicable)
7. collect in one place - gather, assemble (not quite right)
8. get to know; get acquainted with - meet someone new (possible but less likely)
9. meet by design; be present at the arrival - be present at arrival (not really this)
10. contend against an opponent - encounter in sport/battle (not applicable)
11. experience as a reaction - encounter, receive (not applicable)
12. undergo or suffer - suffer (not applicable)
13. be in direct physical contact - touch (not applicable)

The context is very clear: the speaker is "sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients" for a professional/therapeutic purpose. This is a planned meeting with a specific purpose.

Sense 2 fits perfectly: "get together socially or for a specific purpose" with synonym "get together"

Sense 8 is about "get to know" which could apply, but the context emphasizes the planned meeting for therapy, not the getting acquainted part.

The best sense is #2: get together socially or for a specific purpose.

The word "new" describes "therapy clients" that the speaker is meeting. In context, "new therapy clients" refers to clients that have recently come into being as clients (newly acquired or recently started working with). This aligns with sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "new" in the sentence:

"I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."

The word "new" is describing "therapy clients" - these are clients that the speaker is meeting for the first time (or recently started working with).

Let me examine each sense:

1. "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered" - This could fit. Therapy clients would be "new" if they just recently came into being as clients (i.e., just became clients).

2. "original and of a kind not seen before" - This doesn't fit. The clients aren't necessarily original or unprecedented.

3. "lacking training or experience" - This could fit if the clients are inexperienced, but that's not necessarily what "new" means here.

4. "having no previous example or precedent or parallel" - This doesn't fit.

5. "other than the former one(s); different" - This could mean these are different from previous clients, but it doesn't capture the "newly acquired" meaning.

6. "unaffected by use or exposure" - This doesn't fit. The clients aren't objects that are "unaffected by use."

7. "gratuitously new" (newfangled) - This doesn't fit.

8-9. These relate to language stages, not relevant.

10. "harvested at an early stage" - Not relevant.

11. "unfamiliar" - This could fit, as "new" clients might be unfamiliar to the therapist.

The best fit is sense 1 - "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered". The "new therapy clients" are clients that the speaker has recently acquired or is meeting for the first time/recently.
Sense 3 about lacking experience doesn't clearly apply here since the context doesn't suggest these clients are inexperienced. Sense 1 remains the most direct interpretation.

The context describes a therapist meeting with clients seeking therapy services. This matches sense 2 ("someone who pays for goods or services"), which is the general sense for people who obtain professional services. Sense 1 is too narrowly specific to legal advice, and sense 3 refers to computers, neither of which applies here.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "clients" and I need to determine which sense is being used in the context.

Context: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."

Let me analyze each sense:

1. sense_key=client%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who seeks the advice of a lawyer
   - This refers specifically to legal clients

2. sense_key=client%1:18:01:: | definition=someone who pays for goods or services | synonyms=customer
   - This is a general definition for someone who pays for services or goods

3. sense_key=client%1:06:00:: | definition=(computer science) any computer that is hooked up to a computer network
   - This is about computers on a network

In the context, the speaker says "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients." The person is a therapist, and the "clients" are people coming for therapy/counseling services. These are people who are paying for (or seeking) therapy/counseling services.

This clearly matches sense 2 (someone who pays for goods or services) rather than sense 1 (a person who seeks the advice of a lawyer - which is too specific to legal context) or sense 3 (computer networks).

While sense 1 could technically apply to people seeking professional advice, "therapy clients" specifically refers to people seeking therapy services, which fits better with the broader sense 2 definition of "someone who pays for goods or services."

The answer should be sense 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "couple" in this sentence:

"I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."

The speaker is saying they were about to meet with "some new therapy clients, a couple" - this means they were going to meet with clients that consist of a couple (two people).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "a pair who associate with one another" - synonyms: twosome, duo, duet | examples: the engaged couple; an inseparable twosome
   - This refers to two people who are associated with each other

2. "a pair of people who live together" - synonyms: mates, match | examples: a married couple from Chicago
   - This specifically refers to people who live together, typically married couples

3. "a small indefinite number" | examples: he's coming for a couple of days
   - This is a different part of speech/meaning - referring to "a couple of" meaning "a few"

4. "two items of the same kind" - synonyms: pair, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke
   - This is a generic sense for any two items

5. "(physics) something joined by two equal and opposite forces..."
   - This is a physics term, clearly not applicable here

In the context, "a couple" refers to two people who are coming in as therapy clients. The speaker doesn't specify if they're married or living together - they're just two people coming together for therapy.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate - "a pair who associate with one another" - because they're coming in together as clients. The generic sense about "two items" (sense 4) would be too vague.

Sense 2 specifically says "live together" and the example is "married couple" - we don't know if these therapy clients live together or are married.

Sense 1 "a pair who associate with one another" is the best fit because it simply means two people who are together/associated, without the specific requirement of living together or being married.
The most fitting answer is sense 1, which captures the essential meaning of two people in association without imposing additional constraints about their living situation or marital status.

The context clearly indicates the physical structure of the building itself - describing how "the building started shaking" and characterizing it as "a flimsy structure, built up on supports." This directly aligns with sense 1, which defines building as a physical structure with roof and walls. The description of it shaking and rocking around refers to the concrete edifice, not the construction process, industry, or occupants.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "building" in the given sentence.

The context is: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy. It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around."

The person is describing how the building they are in started shaking (presumably during an earthquake). They describe it as "a flimsy structure, built up on supports."

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place" - This describes a physical structure. The context mentions "It's a flimsy structure" which aligns with this definition. The building is the physical object that is shaking.

2. "the act of constructing something" - This would refer to the process of construction. The context doesn't discuss the act of constructing; it discusses the physical structure shaking.

3. "the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones" - This refers to the construction industry/trades. The context is not about the commercial activity of construction.

4. "the occupants of a building" - The examples given suggest this would mean "the people in the building complained." The context doesn't refer to the occupants; it refers to the physical structure itself.

The key phrase is "the building started shaking" and "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around." This clearly refers to the physical structure itself - the building as a concrete noun meaning a physical edifice.

The best fit is sense 1: "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place"
