The context describes how voters act or conduct themselves in voting situations ("the seemingly irrational behavior voters display in the voting booth"). This aligns with sense 1, which defines behavior as the "manner of acting or controlling yourself." The passage is examining voting patterns and choices—essentially how voters behave or conduct themselves in elections—rather than psychological aggregate responses (sense 4), interpersonal behavior (sense 3), or mechanical reactions (sense 2).

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

The sentence in question is: "at both the federal and state government levels at least part of the seemingly irrational behavior voters display in the voting booth may have an exceedingly rational explanation."

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=behavior%1:04:00:: - "manner of acting or controlling yourself" - This is about how someone acts or conducts themselves. The synonyms are behaviour, conduct, doings.

2. sense_key=behavior%1:26:00:: - "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances" - This is about how things react under certain conditions. The example is about particles in experiments. This doesn't fit the context of voters.

3. sense_key=behavior%1:07:00:: - "(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people" - This is specifically about how someone behaves toward others. The synonyms include demeanor, deportment, conduct.

4. sense_key=behavior%1:04:01:: - "(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation" - This is a psychological term for aggregate responses/reactions of an organism.

In the context, "the seemingly irrational behavior voters display" refers to the voting patterns of voters. It's about how voters act or conduct themselves in voting situations.

The text is discussing voters' voting patterns and choices - how they behave when voting. This is about the manner in which voters act or their conduct in voting situations.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate - it's about "manner of acting or controlling yourself" - which fits the idea of how voters behave/act.

Sense 4 could also work as it's about responses/reactions of an organism, but it seems more psychological/technical.

Sense 3 is specifically about behavior toward others, which isn't quite what's being discussed here.
Sense 2 doesn't apply since it describes non-organic things. The first sense best captures what's happening here—it's the general way voters conduct themselves in voting situations.

The context uses "display" to mean "show" or "reveal" - the voters are exhibiting seemingly irrational behavior in the voting booth. This matches sense 1, which defines display as "to show, make visible or apparent" with synonyms like "expose" and "exhibit." Sense 2 refers specifically to animals or body parts in a mating/attention-seeking context, which is not applicable here.

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

The target sentence is: "at both the federal and state government levels at least part of the seemingly irrational behavior voters display in the voting booth may have an exceedingly rational explanation."

Here, "display" is used to mean "show" or "exhibit" - the voters are showing/exhibiting seemingly irrational behavior. This is about demonstrating or revealing behavior.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=display%2:39:00:: | definition=to show, make visible or apparent | synonyms=expose, exhibit | examples=The Metropolitan Museum is exhibiting Goya's works this month; Why don't you show your nice legs and wear shorter skirts?

2. sense_key=display%2:41:00:: | definition=attract attention by displaying some body part or posing; of animals

The second sense is specifically about animals or body parts with the purpose of attracting attention. That doesn't fit here.

The first sense is about showing or making something visible/apparent. In the context, voters are displaying (showing/revealing) seemingly irrational behavior. This fits perfectly with "to show, make visible or apparent."

The answer should be sense 1.

The context contrasts "seemingly irrational behavior" with an "exceedingly rational explanation." The passage argues that voter behavior that appears irrational can actually be explained by rational economic reasoning about tax policy. This directly aligns with sense 1's definition of "consistent with or based on or using reason," as the voters' voting patterns are shown to be based on logical economic factors. The example "rational behavior" in sense 1 matches the usage here perfectly.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "rational" best fits.

The target sentence is: "In sum, at both the federal and state government levels at least part of the seemingly irrational behavior voters display in the voting booth may have an exceedingly rational explanation."

The context discusses voting patterns and ticket splitting. The passage explains that what appears to be irrational voter behavior (voting differently for presidential vs. senatorial candidates, splitting votes between Republican governors and Democratic legislatures) can actually be explained by rational economic factors like tax burden.

So the word "rational" here is being contrasted with "irrational" and refers to behavior that is "based on or using reason" - in this case, economic reasoning about tax policy.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "consistent with or based on or using reason" - This fits perfectly. The passage says seemingly irrational behavior may have a rational explanation, meaning it's based on reason/logic (economic factors).

2. "of or associated with or requiring the use of the mind" / "intellectual, noetic" - This is more general about mental activity. While technically applicable, it's less specific.

3. "capable of being expressed as a quotient of integers" - This is about numbers and mathematics. Clearly not applicable here.

4. "having its source in or being guided by the intellect (as distinguished from experience or emotion)" - This is similar to sense 2 and also broader than what we need.

The best fit is sense 1: "consistent with or based on or using reason". The passage explains that voting behavior that seems irrational is actually based on rational economic reasoning about tax burden. This directly corresponds to the definition of being "based on or using reason" and the example of "rational behavior".

The answer is sense 1.

The word "long" in "In the long, frightening night" describes the temporal duration of the night following the earthquake. The context emphasizes how the night seemed to extend for a considerable amount of time, particularly given the frightening circumstances. This matches the primary temporal sense: "being or indicating a relatively great or greater than average duration or passage of time."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context: "In the <t>long</t>, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake..."

The word "long" here is describing the "night" that followed the earthquake. It's describing how the night seemed to go on for a considerable amount of time - the night felt extended in duration because of the frightening circumstances.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "primarily temporal sense; being or indicating a relatively great or greater than average duration" - This fits! A "long night" means the night extended for a considerable duration in time. The example "a long life; a long boring speech" also supports this temporal reading.

2. "primarily spatial sense; of relatively great or greater than average spatial extension" - This is about distance/space, not applicable here since we're talking about a night (temporal).

3. "of relatively great height" - Not applicable, we're not talking about height.

4. "good at remembering" - Not applicable, this doesn't make sense in context.

5. "holding securities or commodities" - Not applicable, financial term.

6. "(of speech sounds or syllables) of relatively long duration" - Not applicable, this is about phonetics.

7. "involving substantial risk" - This could be considered ("long odds"), but doesn't fit the context.

8. "planning prudently for the future" - Not applicable.

9. "having or being more than normal or necessary" - Could fit as "abundant," but the primary sense is temporal.

The best fit is sense 1: "primarily temporal sense; being or indicating a relatively great or greater than average duration or passage of time." The "long night" refers to a night that seemed to extend for a considerable duration of time, especially due to the frightening circumstances.

So the answer is sense 1.

The context describes "the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake" when "Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace." This refers to the literal dark hours following the earthquake, making the temporal sense of night (the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside) the most appropriate choice.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense of "night" in this sentence:

"In the long, frightening <t>night</t> after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could."

The context is describing the period following a devastating earthquake. The phrase "the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake" refers to the dark period after the earthquake occurred.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=night%1:28:00:: - "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - This is the literal, temporal meaning referring to the dark period of day.

2. sense_key=night%1:28:01:: - "a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom" - This is a metaphorical/figurative sense referring to a period of difficulty or darkness (as in emotional/metaphorical darkness).

3. sense_key=night%1:28:04:: - "the period spent sleeping" - This refers specifically to sleep, not applicable here.

4. sense_key=night%1:28:02:: - "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" - Similar to sense 1, referring to the night as a time unit.

5. sense_key=night%1:26:00:: - "darkness" - More abstract, referring to darkness itself.

6. sense_key=night%1:28:05:: - "a shortening of nightfall" - The transition from day to night.

7. sense_key=night%1:28:03:: - "the time between sunset and midnight" - A specific temporal period.

8. sense_key=night%1:18:00:: - Roman goddess - Not applicable.

In this context, "the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake" could be interpreted in two ways:
- The literal dark hours following the earthquake when people were frightened
- A metaphorical "night" representing a period of darkness/gloom (the difficult aftermath)
- The descriptors "frightening" and the earthquake's devastation, combined with people seeking "comfort and solace," suggest the literal nighttime hours immediately following the disaster. Sense 1 best fits—it captures the actual dark hours when residents were searching for reassurance and support.

The target word "devastating" in this context describes an earthquake that caused extensive destruction and ruin to the Bay Area. This aligns with Sense 1, which defines devastate as "cause extensive destruction or ruin utterly" with synonyms like "lay waste to," "ravage," and "desolate." The earthquake as a natural disaster is characterized by its destructive impact on the region, which is the primary meaning here. Sense 2, which focuses on emotional overwhelm, is secondary to the physical destruction implied by describing a devastating earthquake.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "devastating" in this earthquake sentence.

Context: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could."

The sentence is describing an earthquake that is characterized as "devastating." Let me consider what this word means in this context:

Sense 1: "cause extensive destruction or ruin utterly" with synonyms "lay waste to, waste, desolate, ravage, scourge" and example "The enemy lay waste to the countryside after the invasion"

Sense 2: "overwhelm or overpower" with example "He was devastated by his grief when his son died"

In the context of an earthquake, "devastating" refers to the destructive nature of the natural disaster. An earthquake that is devastating causes extensive destruction and ruin - it lays waste to buildings, infrastructure, and the landscape. This clearly aligns with Sense 1.

Sense 2 is more about emotional overwhelming, as shown in the example where someone is emotionally devastated by grief. While one could argue that the earthquake's effects could emotionally overwhelm people, the primary meaning of "devastating" when describing an earthquake refers to its destructive physical impact - widespread destruction and ruin.

The answer should be Sense 1.

The context clearly describes a literal, physical seismic event—"Tuesday's devastating earthquake" in the Bay Area with a "frightening night" following it. This refers to an actual natural disaster resulting from underground geological movement, not a metaphorical disturbance as would be the case in sense 2.

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

The sentence states: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating <t>earthquake</t>, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could."

Key contextual clues:
- "Tuesday's devastating earthquake" - refers to a specific natural disaster
- "long, frightening night after" - describing the aftermath of a physical event
- "Bay Area" - geographic location affected by a natural disaster
- This is clearly referencing a real natural disaster

Let me examine the two senses:

Sense 1: "shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity" - This is the literal, geological meaning of earthquake. The synonyms are "quake, temblor, seism" which all refer to natural seismic events.

Sense 2: "a disturbance that is extremely disruptive" - This is a metaphorical sense, as shown in the example "selling the company caused an earthquake among the employees." This uses "earthquake" as a figurative expression for any major disruption.

The context clearly indicates a real, physical earthquake disaster in the Bay Area (likely referring to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake). The use of "devastating," "frightening night," and the geographic specificity all point to a natural seismic event, not a metaphorical disturbance.

Therefore, the answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "residents".

Context: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could."

The context is talking about people living in the Bay Area who experienced an earthquake and were searching for comfort. These are people who live in a particular geographic area (Bay Area).

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=resident%1:18:00:: - "someone who lives at a particular place for a prolonged period or who was born there" - synonyms: occupant, occupier. This fits the context perfectly - the residents are people who live in the Bay Area.

2. sense_key=resident%1:18:01:: - "a physician (especially an intern) who lives in a hospital and cares for hospitalized patients" - synonyms: house physician, resident physician. This is specifically about medical doctors/interns in hospitals, which clearly doesn't fit the context.

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, as the context is referring to people who live in the Bay Area, not medical professionals in hospitals.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}

The context shows residents actively seeking comfort and solace after the earthquake. This matches sense 1 ("try to locate or discover"), where "searched" means they are attempting to find and locate comfort and solace wherever possible. This is distinct from sense 2 (a more general synonymous "look"), sense 3 (which emphasizes inquiry/research), and sense 4 (which is passive/transitive).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses carefully.

Context: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could."

The sentence indicates that residents are searching for comfort and solace. This is looking for something intangible (comfort and solace) after a traumatic event.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=search%2:35:00:: - "try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of" - synonyms: seek, look for. Examples mention searching for clues, searching for a missing man. This is about actively looking for something specific.

2. sense_key=search%2:39:00:: - "search or seek" - synonyms: look. Examples: "We looked all day and finally found the child in the forest; Look elsewhere for the perfect gift!" This is a general looking/seeking sense.

3. sense_key=search%2:31:00:: - "inquire into" - synonyms: research, explore. Examples: research history, search for information about relatives. This is more about investigating or exploring.

4. sense_key=search%2:35:01:: - "subject to a search" - This is about being searched (passive), like the police searched the suspect. This doesn't fit.

In the context "searched for comfort and solace," the residents are actively seeking/looking for something to make them feel better. This could be sense 1 (try to locate or discover) or sense 2 (search or seek) or potentially sense 3 (inquire into).

Sense 4 is clearly wrong because it's passive (being searched).

Sense 3 (inquire into) seems less appropriate here because they're not really inquiring into comfort - they're looking for it as an emotional state.

Between sense 1 and 2:
Sense 1 captures the idea of trying to locate or discover something specific, which aligns with residents attempting to find comfort and solace. Sense 2 is more general seeking behavior. Given that the residents are actively trying to establish the existence of comfort in their lives after trauma, sense 1 fits better than the broader sense 2.

The context emphasizes people seeking "comfort and solace" during a frightening and traumatic time (after an earthquake). Sense 3 directly defines comfort as "the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction" with synonyms including "solace," which is explicitly mentioned in the sentence. The definition perfectly captures the emotional support and relief from distress that residents were searching for during this frightening night.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and candidate senses for the word "comfort" in this sentence:

"In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for <t>comfort</t> and solace wherever they could."

The context is clear: people are experiencing fear and distress after an earthquake and are seeking "comfort and solace" - which are emotional/psychological consolation in a time of affliction.

Let me go through the senses:

1. **sense 1 (comfort%1:26:00:: - "a state of being relaxed and feeling no pain")**: This is about physical comfort/relaxation. While related, the context suggests emotional comfort, not just physical relaxation.

2. **sense 2 (comfort%1:12:00:: - "a feeling of freedom from worry or disappointment")**: This could fit - freedom from worry after a traumatic event.

3. **sense 3 (comfort%1:04:00:: - "the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction")**: This is about the act of consoling others. The examples given are about consolation. The sentence mentions "solace" as a synonym, and the definition includes "giving relief in affliction" which matches the frightening night after an earthquake perfectly.

4. **sense 4 (comfort%1:26:01:: - "a freedom from financial difficulty that promotes a comfortable state")**: Not relevant here.

5. **sense 5 (comfort%1:26:02:: - "satisfaction or physical well-being provided by a person or thing")**: This could fit - people seeking things that provide comfort.

6. **sense 6 (comfort%1:06:00:: - "bedding made of two layers of cloth")**: Not relevant.

7. **sense 7 (comfort%1:04:01:: - "assistance to an enemy or criminal")**: Not relevant.

The key phrase is "searched for comfort and solace" - solace is explicitly defined in sense 3 as a synonym.

Given the traumatic circumstances—a devastating earthquake creating a frightening night—residents are clearly seeking relief from their affliction. Sense 3 directly captures this with its definition of "giving relief in affliction" and its explicit synonym "solace," which appears right alongside "comfort" in the original sentence. This is the best match.

{"sense_index": 2}
```

The context describes people seeking "comfort and solace" after a traumatic earthquake. Sense 2—"comfort in disappointment or misery"—best captures the meaning here, as it directly describes comfort sought during times of distress. The residents are looking for this comfort/consolation as a noun (the thing itself), not describing an action (sense 3) or specifically emphasizing a feeling after being consoled (sense 1).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the three candidate senses for "solace".

Context: "Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

The context is about people experiencing comfort and consolation after a devastating earthquake. They are looking for ways to feel better and find comfort.

Let me examine the three senses:

1. sense_key=solace%1:12:00:: | definition=the comfort you feel when consoled in times of disappointment | synonyms=consolation, solacement | examples=second place was no consolation to him
   - This is about the comfort you FEEL when consoled - it's the state/feeling of being comforted

2. sense_key=solace%1:26:00:: | definition=comfort in disappointment or misery | synonyms=solacement
   - This is simply comfort in disappointment or misery - it's the comfort itself

3. sense_key=solace%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction | synonyms=consolation, comfort | examples=his presence was a consolation to her
   - This is the ACT of consoling - the action of providing comfort

In the context, "searched for comfort and solace wherever they could" - the residents are searching FOR solace, looking for comfort. This suggests solace is something they seek to experience/feel or find.

Senses 1 and 2 both refer to the comfort/consolation as a noun (the thing itself or the feeling), while sense 3 is the act of consoling (the action).

The subtle difference between 1 and 2:
- Sense 1: "the comfort you feel when consoled" - emphasizes the feeling/state after being consoled
- Sense 2: "comfort in disappointment or misery" - more general comfort in difficult times
- Sense 2 appears more fitting since it describes comfort sought during distress itself, rather than specifically after consolation. The sense codes suggest different grammatical categories, with sense 2 being the most direct match for what residents are searching for in their frightened state.

The context clearly refers to the display of a personal computer where users viewed electronic bulletin boards. Sense 3 ("the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube" with synonym "CRT screen") is the most precise match. In 1989, personal computers used CRT monitors, and this sense specifically describes the electronic visual display component of such computers.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence states: "Some found it on the <t>screen</t> of a personal computer."

This is talking about a personal computer screen - the display where information is shown. The context is from 1989 (after an earthquake) when people were using personal computers and electronic bulletin boards via phone lines.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=screen%1:06:06:: - projection screen (like movie theater) - NOT this, it's about personal computer
2. sense_key=screen%1:06:04:: - protective covering/blinds - NOT this
3. sense_key=screen%1:06:05:: - "the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube" with synonym "CRT screen" - THIS MATCHES! It's about the display on a computer screen
4. sense_key=screen%1:06:01:: - covering to conceal/shelter - NOT this
5. sense_key=screen%1:06:00:: - protective netting - NOT this
6. sense_key=screen%1:14:00:: - film industry personnel - NOT this
7. sense_key=screen%1:06:02:: - strainer/sieve - NOT this
8. sense_key=screen%1:06:07:: - screen door - NOT this
9. sense_key=screen%1:06:03:: - decorative partition - NOT this

The context clearly refers to looking at information on a personal computer display/monitor. Sense 3 is the best fit because:
- It specifically mentions "the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube"
- The synonym "CRT screen" confirms this is about computer displays
- In 1989, personal computers used CRT monitors
- People were checking in with each other on bulletin boards viewed on this display
- The answer is sense index 3.

The phrase "made their way to their computers" is a classic example of sense 36 ("proceed along a path"), which explicitly includes the example "make one's way into the forest." The context describes residents traveling/proceeding to their computers after the earthquake.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake"

The phrase is "made their way to their computers" - this is a phrasal construction where "make one's way" means to proceed along a path or travel to a destination.

Looking at the candidate senses:

Sense 36 has definition: "proceed along a path" with synonyms "work" and examples "work one's way through the crowd; make one's way into the forest"

This is almost the exact phrase from the sentence! "make one's way" is explicitly listed as an example for sense 36.

Sense 28 is "head into a specified direction" which could also fit, but it's about heading/going in a direction rather than proceeding/making one's way.

Sense 22 is "reach a destination, either real or abstract" which is related but more about the destination itself.

The most precise match is sense 36: "proceed along a path" because:
1. It has the exact example "make one's way into the forest"
2. The context "made their way to their computers" fits perfectly
3. It captures the meaning of traveling/proceeding along a path to reach a destination

The answer should be sense 36, which is index 36.

The context clearly refers to computers as physical machines that people use to access electronic bulletin boards and communicate with each other. The phrase "made their way to their computers" and "bulletin boards, which link computers...via phone lines" indicate physical computing devices, not persons who perform calculations. This matches sense 1: "a machine for performing calculations automatically."

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

The passage discusses:
- Bay Area residents searching for comfort after an earthquake
- People making their way to their computers after the quake
- People checking in with each other on electronic bulletin boards
- The bulletin boards link computers via phone lines
- Reference to "The Well," a Sausalito board (an electronic bulletin board)

The context clearly indicates that "computers" refers to physical machines/devices that people use to connect to electronic bulletin boards and communicate with each other. These are personal computers (as mentioned in the text: "personal computer").

Sense 1: "a machine for performing calculations automatically" with synonyms like "computing machine, computing device, data processor, electronic computer, information processing system" - This fits the context. The computers mentioned are physical machines (personal computers) that people use to access electronic bulletin boards.

Sense 2: "an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)" - This refers to a person, not a machine. This doesn't fit the context where people are going "to their computers" - implying physical objects they can travel to.

The answer is clearly sense 1 - computers are physical machines/devices in this context.

The context describes how electronic bulletin boards physically connect computers together via phone lines. This matches the transitive sense of "link" as "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" (sense 2). The bulletin boards are actively joining/connecting multiple computers, which is a physical connection of distinct pieces, similar to the example of connecting loudspeakers or tying ropes together.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense of "link" here.

From the context: "electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines"

The sentence is explaining how electronic bulletin boards work - they connect computers together via phone lines, similar to how CB radios work.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "make a logical or causal connection" - This is about mental/abstract connections, like connecting ideas or facts. This doesn't fit the physical/technical context.

2. "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" - This is about physically connecting things together. This seems to fit - the bulletin boards connect computers together via phone lines.

3. "be or become joined or united or linked" - This is about things being joined together, forming a connection. This could also fit - the computers are being joined through the bulletin boards.

4. "link with or as with a yoke" - This is specifically about yoking, like with oxen. Doesn't fit.

Now I need to decide between senses 2 and 3:

Sense 2: "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" - transitive, actively connecting things
Sense 3: "be or become joined or united or linked" - this seems more like a state or reciprocal action

In the sentence "bulletin boards, which link computers," the bulletin boards are the subject doing the linking action. So it's a transitive verb - the bulletin boards are connecting the computers together.

Sense 2 seems to be the transitive version - "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" with examples like "Can you connect the two loudspeakers?"

This is parallel to our sentence structure - the bulletin boards link (connect) the computers together via phone lines.

So the best sense is 2.

Context:
In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer. Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link <t>computers</t> CB-radio-style, via phone lines. Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground.

The context clearly refers to physical machines that link together via phone lines for electronic communication. The passage describes people going to "their computers" and connecting to bulletin boards through these devices, establishing them as calculating machines/computing devices, not human calculators.

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

The sentence says: "which link <t>computers</t> CB-radio-style, via phone lines"

This is talking about electronic bulletin boards that link computers together via phone lines. The context is clearly about physical machines - computers that people use to connect to bulletin boards and communicate electronically.

Looking at the two senses:
1. sense_key=computer%1:06:00:: - "a machine for performing calculations automatically" with synonyms like computing machine, computing device, data processor, electronic computer
2. sense_key=computer%1:18:00:: - "an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)" - this is referring to a person, not a machine

In the context, "computers" refers to the physical devices/machines that are being linked together via phone lines. People are accessing their computers (the machines) to check in with each other on electronic bulletin boards. This is clearly referring to the machine sense, not a person.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 1.

The target word "vivid" describes the bulletins as evoking lifelike, graphic images within the minds of readers. In the context of earthquake reports and personal accounts shared on bulletin boards, the "vivid bulletins" would be those providing detailed, realistic descriptions that create strong mental images of the disaster and people's experiences. This aligns with sense 1's definition of "evoking lifelike images within the mind" and its synonyms of "graphic" and "pictorial."

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

The sentence reads: "Some of the most <t>vivid</t> bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

The context is describing bulletin board messages/posts that came over an electronic communication system. The passage is talking about people sharing information and comfort after an earthquake. The term "vivid bulletins" here refers to the quality of the messages themselves.

Let me consider each sense:

1. **sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:realistic:00** - "evoking lifelike images within the mind" with synonyms like "graphic, lifelike, pictorial" and examples like "graphic accounts of battle"
   - This makes sense because the bulletins would be vivid accounts/descriptions that create strong mental images of what people experienced.

2. **sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:clear:00** - "having the clarity and freshness of immediate experience" with example "a vivid recollection"
   - This could work as well, suggesting the bulletins have clear, fresh descriptions.

3. **sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:colorful:00** - "having striking color"
   - This doesn't fit well. Bulletin board text is typically monochrome/black and white, not colorful. This sense is about visual color.

4. **sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:saturated:03** - "(of color) having the highest saturation"
   - This is clearly about color saturation, which doesn't apply to text bulletins.

The best fit is sense 1. The bulletins are described as "vivid" because they evoke lifelike images within the minds of readers - they are graphic, detailed accounts that create strong mental images. This aligns with the context of people seeking comfort and information during a crisis, where vivid/graphic descriptions of the earthquake and its aftermath would be meaningful and impactful.

The sentence describes bulletins that "came over The Well," meaning they were received or transmitted through the electronic bulletin board system. This matches sense 16 ("be received"), which has the example "News came in of the massacre in Rwanda" - a parallel construction about information being received through a communication medium.

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

"Some of the most vivid bulletins <t>came</t> over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

The sentence is about bulletins that came (arrived/were received) over The Well, an electronic bulletin board system.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. Move toward - doesn't fit, the bulletins didn't travel
2. Reach a destination - partial fit, but not quite right
3. Come to pass; arrive as in due course - this could work
4. Reach or enter a state - doesn't fit
5. Be the product or result - doesn't fit
6. Be found or available - doesn't fit well
7. Come forth / issue forth - this could work! "A scream came from the woman's mouth" is a similar example
8. Be a native of - doesn't fit
9. Extend or reach - doesn't fit
10. Exist or occur in a certain point in a series - doesn't fit
11. Cover a certain distance - doesn't fit
12. Come under, be classified - doesn't fit
13. Happen as a result - doesn't fit
14. Add up in number - doesn't fit
15. Develop into - doesn't fit
16. Be received - "News came in of the massacre in Rwanda" - this is very similar!
17. Come to one's mind - doesn't fit
18. Come from; be connected by relationship - doesn't fit
19. Proceed or get along - doesn't fit
20. Experience orgasm - definitely doesn't fit
21. Have a certain priority - doesn't fit

The best match is sense 16: "be received" with the example "News came in of the massacre in Rwanda". The bulletins came (were received) over The Well. This is about receiving information/messages.
Sense 7 could also apply, but sense 16 captures the specific meaning of receiving messages through the bulletin board system more accurately.

The answer is 16.

The context describes "the electronic underground" referring to bulletin board systems, computers, and communication networks - technological devices and infrastructure. Sense 1 ("of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons") is the appropriate interpretation here, as it captures the reference to electronic technology and devices. Sense 2, which focuses narrowly on "electrons" in a physics context, is too narrow and technical for this usage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the target word "electronic" in the context provided.

The context is about "the electronic underground" referring to the community of bulletin board system (BBS) users and the networks they form through electronic devices like computers.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. Sense 1 (electronic%3:01:00::): "of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons" with examples "electronic devices"

2. Sense 2 (electronic%3:01:01::): "of or concerned with electrons"

In the context, "electronic underground" refers to:
- The community of users on electronic bulletin boards
- Computer networks and communication systems
- This is referring to a subculture or community that operates through electronic devices

The phrase "electronic underground" is describing a community/cultural phenomenon that exists within or is connected to electronic devices and computer networks. This is clearly referring to electronics as devices/technology, not to the physics of electrons themselves.

Sense 1 fits better because it talks about "devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons" and includes the example "electronic devices." The context is about electronic bulletin boards (which are devices/systems) and the community that uses them.

Sense 2 is more narrow and physics-focused, talking about being "concerned with electrons" - this seems to be a more technical/scientific usage.

The context clearly uses "electronic" to describe the technological infrastructure (bulletin boards, computers) and the community built around them, which aligns with Sense 1.

The context describes "The Well" as an electronic bulletin board service, and the 3,000 subscribers are individuals who have contracted to receive access to and pay for this service. This matches sense 2: "someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication." The subscribers are service users, not merely contributors or endorsers.

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

Context: "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area."

The Well is described as "a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground." Earlier in the text, it mentions "electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines."

So The Well is an electronic bulletin board system (BBS). The subscribers are people who have access to this service - they would be paying to access and use The Well's services.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=subscriber%1:18:02:: - "someone who expresses strong approval" - This doesn't fit. The subscribers aren't just expressing approval; they're users of the service.

2. sense_key=subscriber%1:18:01:: - "someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication" - This fits perfectly. The subscribers are users of The Well bulletin board service who would pay for access to it.

3. sense_key=subscriber%1:18:00:: - "someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money" - While there might be a payment component, the primary meaning here is about people who receive the service, not just contributors. This is less precise than sense 2.

The best fit is sense 2, which describes people who contract to receive and pay for a service. The Well is a bulletin board service, and the subscribers are its users who have subscriptions to use it.

The sentence "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area" uses "live" to indicate where the subscribers reside or dwell. This matches sense 1 ("inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of") with synonyms like "dwell" and "inhabit."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "live".

The sentence is: "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area."

This is clearly referring to where people reside or dwell. The context is about subscribers of an electronic bulletin board, and it's saying that approximately two-thirds of them are located/reside in the Bay Area.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of" - This is about dwelling in a place, being an inhabitant. Examples: "People lived in Africa millions of years ago; The people inhabited the islands"

2. "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style" - This is about the manner/style of living. Example: "we had to live frugally after the war"

3. "continue to live through hardship or adversity" - This is about surviving difficult conditions. Example: "We went without water and food for 3 days"

4. "support oneself" - This is about making a living, sustaining oneself financially. Example: "Can you live on $2000 a month in New York City?"

5. "have life, be alive" - This is the most basic sense of existence. Example: "My grandfather lived until the end of war"

6. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" - This is about experiencing something. Example: "have you ever known hunger?"

7. "pursue a positive and satisfying existence" - This is about living well/contentedly. Example: "You must accept yourself and others if you really want to live"

In the context "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area," the word "live" means to reside or dwell in a particular place. This is clearly sense 1: "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of". The synonyms "populate, dwell, inhabit" align perfectly with this usage.
The correct answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "hours" in the context: "The quake knocked The Well out for six hours"

This is talking about a duration of time - specifically 6 hours as a period of time. The sentence means the electronic bulletin board system was down/offline for a 6-hour period.

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=hour%1:28:00:: "a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day" - This matches perfectly. The example "the job will take more than an hour" shows a duration of time.

2. sense_key=hour%1:28:01:: "clock time" / "time of day" - This refers to what time it is (like "3 o'clock"), not a duration.

3. sense_key=hour%1:28:02:: "a special and memorable period" - This is more metaphorical/figurative (like "the finest hour"), not applicable here.

4. sense_key=hour%1:07:00:: "distance measured by the time taken to cover it" - This is about distance (like "an hour from the airport"), not applicable here.

The phrase "for six hours" clearly indicates a duration of time - meaning a span of 6 continuous time periods, each equal to 1/24th of a day. This is sense 1.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}
