The context describes the speaker realizing what event/occurrence is taking place during an earthquake - the physical phenomena (sounds, bouncing car, flying cupboard doors, moving trash can). The phrase "I realized what was happening" clearly refers to an event coming to pass or occurring, which directly matches sense 1 ("come to pass"). The example provided in sense 1 ("What is happening?") is structurally parallel to the target usage.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "happening" in the context: "I realized what was happening..."

The context is about an earthquake - there are signs of unusual physical phenomena (sounds, car bouncing, cupboard doors flying, trash can moving, trash cans dancing). The speaker is realizing what event/occurrence is taking place in the moment.

Let me analyze each sense:

1. "come to pass" - synonyms: hap, go on, pass off, occur, pass, fall out. Example: "What is happening?" - This is about events occurring or taking place. This seems to fit the context - something is happening/occurring (the earthquake).

2. "happen, occur, or be the case in the course of events or by chance" - This is similar to #1 but emphasizes the course of events or by chance. The example "It happens that today is my birthday" shows it's about circumstances that happen to be true.

3. "chance to be or do something, without intention or causation" - Example: "I happen to have just what you need!" This is when something happens by chance, without planning. Doesn't fit well here.

4. "come into being; become reality" - This is about something coming into existence or materializing. Doesn't fit the context well.

5. "come upon, as if by accident; meet with" - This is about encountering something. Example: "I happened upon the most wonderful bakery". Doesn't fit here.

The best fit is sense 1: "come to pass" with definition about events occurring. The speaker realized what was occurring/what was happening (the earthquake), which is an event taking place. The example "What is happening?" is very similar to the context.

Sense 2 could also work, but sense 1 seems more direct and straightforward for describing an event/occurrence happening in real time.

I'll go with sense 1.

The context shows Kim screaming "into the house for the dogs" - she is uttering a sudden loud cry to call and summon the dogs. This matches sense 1 (utter a sudden loud cry), which includes "call" as a synonym and examples of using yelled speech to get someone's attention. Sense 3 (make a loud piercing sound) refers to inanimate objects, and sense 2 emphasizes declaring something rather than calling out for someone.

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

Context: "I realized what was happening and <t>screamed</t> into the house for the dogs."

The person (Kim) has realized that an earthquake or similar event is happening. She screamed into the house to call for/summon the dogs. This is about shouting loudly to communicate with the dogs indoors.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=scream%2:32:01:: - "utter a sudden loud cry" with synonyms like shout, shout out, cry, call, yell, holler. The examples show expressing pain or trying to communicate/get attention ("I yelled to her from the window"). This fits the context - she's shouting into the house to get the dogs' attention.

2. sense_key=scream%2:32:08:: - "utter or declare in a very loud voice" with synonym "yell". The example is about yelling so someone can hear you. This also could fit, as she's speaking loudly into the house.

3. sense_key=scream%2:39:00:: - "make a loud, piercing sound" with example of fighter planes screaming through skies. This is more about inanimate objects making loud sounds, not about uttering speech.

The key is that she "screamed into the house FOR the dogs" - this suggests calling out to them, trying to get their attention. The verb "call" and "cry" are synonyms in sense 1, which aligns with calling for someone.

Sense 1 (scream%2:32:01) seems most appropriate because:
- It involves uttering a loud cry
- "Call" is a synonym, and she's essentially calling for the dogs
- The context shows she's trying to communicate and summon the dogs
- This is the typical usage when shouting to communicate with someone. Sense 2 leans more toward declaring something loudly rather than summoning, while sense 3 doesn't apply since it's about utterance and communication, not inanimate sounds.

The answer is sense 1.

The context clearly refers to the physical residential building where KIM lives. The passage describes specific physical features of the house (cupboard doors, trash can in the kitchen, doorway) and references to being "in" and "into" the house during what appears to be an earthquake. This unambiguously matches sense 1: "a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "house" in this passage.

The text describes someone (KIM) who got home during what appears to be an earthquake or similar natural disaster. The passage mentions:
- "I got home, let the dogs into the house"
- "screamed into the house for the dogs"
- The context is about a physical dwelling where people live

The passage is clearly about a physical residential building where someone lives. Let me check the candidate senses:

1. "a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families" - This fits perfectly. The examples are "he has a house on Cape Cod; she felt she had to get out of the house"

2. "the members of a business organization..." - Not relevant

3. "members of a religious community..." - Not relevant

4. "audience gathered in a theatre..." - Not relevant

5. "official assembly..." - Not relevant

6. "aristocratic family line..." - Not relevant

7. "play in which children pretend..." - Not relevant

8. "astrology - one of 12 equal areas..." - Not relevant

9. "management of a gambling house..." - Not relevant

10. "a social unit living together" - This could fit, as it mentions household

11. "building where theatrical performances..." - Not relevant

12. "a building in which something is sheltered..." - Too generic

The most clear and direct meaning is sense 1: "a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families" - this is the physical residential building where KIM lives and screams for her dogs. This is the most straightforward interpretation.

Sense 10 is about the social unit (family/household), which is more abstract, while sense 1 is about the physical dwelling itself. Given the context emphasizes the physical space (the house itself with doors, kitchen, etc.), sense 1 is the best fit.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context clearly indicates domestic dogs as household pets. The passage describes letting dogs into the house, screaming for them when earthquake-like activity occurs, them coming running in response, and then putting them in a "dog run" (an enclosure for dogs). This is consistent with sense 1, which defines dogs as domesticated animals from the genus Canis that have been kept by humans since prehistoric times.

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

From the context:
- "I got home, let the dogs into the house"
- "I screamed into the house for the dogs"
- "the dogs came running"
- "I scooted them into the dog run"

The passage is describing a personal account of what appears to be an earthquake. The person let the dogs into the house (domesticated animals), screamed for them, they came running, and then the person put them into a "dog run" (an enclosure for dogs).

This clearly refers to domesticated animals - dogs as pets or household animals.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a member of the genus Canis...that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times" - This is the domestic dog/pet
2. "a dull unattractive unpleasant girl or woman" - insulting term for a woman
3. "informal term for a man" - as in "you lucky dog"
4. "someone who is morally reprehensible" - insulting term
5. "a smooth-textured sausage" - hotdog
6. "a hinged catch...in a ratchet" - mechanical part
7. "metal supports for logs in a fireplace" - andiron

The context clearly indicates sense 1 - domestic dogs as animals that the person owns, lives with, and puts in a dog run.

The context describes "Cupboard doors were flying," which refers to the physical swinging barriers of the cupboard that are being forcefully moved during the earthquake. This matches sense 1, which defines door as "a swinging or sliding barrier that will close the entrance to a room or building or vehicle." The example "he slammed the door as he left" similarly describes the physical door object being moved, just like the cupboard doors flying in this scenario.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "doors" in the context: "Cupboard doors were flying, the trash can in the kitchen walked a few feet..."

Let me analyze the context:
- The speaker is experiencing what appears to be an earthquake
- They mention "Cupboard doors were flying"
- This refers to the physical barrier of a cupboard/cabinet that swings open and shut

Now let me look at each sense:

1. "a swinging or sliding barrier that will close the entrance to a room or building or vehicle" - This is about a physical barrier that swings or slides. This fits! Cupboard doors are swinging barriers.

2. "the entrance (the space in a wall) through which you enter or leave a room or building" - This is about the opening/space itself, not the physical barrier. The example is about a doorway/opening.

3. "anything providing a means of access (or escape)" - This is metaphorical - about doors to opportunity, etc. Not applicable here.

4. "a structure where people live or work (usually ordered along a street or road)" - This is about buildings/residences. Not applicable.

5. "a room that is entered via a door" - This is about a room accessed through a door. Not applicable.

The cupboard doors in the sentence are clearly the physical swinging barriers of the cupboard, which matches sense 1 perfectly. The example even says "he slammed the door as he left" which is very similar to the situation described.

The answer should be 1.

The phrase "walked a few feet" uses "feet" as a unit of linear measurement to describe the distance the trash can moved during the earthquake. This corresponds to the sense defining foot as "a linear unit of length equal to 12 inches or a third of a yard."

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

The sentence is: "the trash can in the kitchen walked a few <t>feet</t>"

Here, "feet" is being used as a unit of measurement to describe the distance that the trash can moved. The context is describing earthquake damage - things are shaking, moving, bouncing due to what appears to be an earthquake. The phrase "walked a few feet" means the trash can moved a few feet (units of distance).

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. foot%1:08:01:: - the part of the leg of a human being below the ankle joint
2. foot%1:23:00:: - a linear unit of length equal to 12 inches or a third of a yard
3. foot%1:15:00:: - the lower part of anything
4. foot%1:05:01:: - the pedal extremity of vertebrates other than human beings
5. foot%1:06:00:: - lowest support of a structure
6. foot%1:05:00:: - any of various organs of locomotion or attachment in invertebrates
7. foot%1:04:00:: - travel by walking
8. foot%1:18:00:: - a member of a surveillance team who works on foot or rides as a passenger
9. foot%1:14:00:: - an army unit consisting of soldiers who fight on foot
10. foot%1:10:00:: - (prosody) a group of 2 or 3 syllables forming the basic unit of poetic rhythm
11. foot%1:06:01:: - a support resembling a pedal extremity

The phrase "walked a few feet" clearly refers to a unit of measurement. The trash can moved a distance measured in feet. This corresponds to sense 2: "a linear unit of length equal to 12 inches or a third of a yard" with the example "he is six feet tall" which shows the same usage pattern - feet as a unit of measurement for distance.
The answer is sense 2.

1. "let the dogs into the house" - the dogs are animals that can be let into a house
2. "screamed into the house for the dogs" - they respond to being called
3. "the dogs came running" - they can run and respond to commands
4. "scooted them into the dog run" - they can be moved into a dog run (an enclosure for dogs)
5. The passage mentions "the dog run" which is a specific structure for keeping dogs

This is clearly referring to actual domesticated canine animals, not any metaphorical or slang usage.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a member of the genus Canis... domestic dog, Canis familiaris" - This is the literal sense of domesticated dog animals
2. "a dull unattractive unpleasant girl or woman" - Not applicable
3. "informal term for a man" - Not applicable
4. "someone who is morally reprehensible" - Not applicable
5. "a smooth-textured sausage" - Not applicable
6. "a hinged catch" - Not applicable
7. "metal supports for logs in a fireplace" - Not applicable

The answer is clearly sense 1 - the domestic dog animal sense.

The context shows the dogs responding to Kim's scream and running to her location. "The dogs came running" means they moved toward and arrived at where Kim was standing. This matches sense 2 ("reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress"), similar to the example "She arrived home at 7 o'clock." The dogs completed their movement to reach Kim's location.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "came" appears:

"the dogs <t>came</t> running, and I scooted them into the dog run"

The dogs came running - this means the dogs moved toward/arrived at Kim's location by running. They responded to her scream and ran to her.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody" - This fits well. The dogs moved toward Kim by running.

2. "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - This also could fit, but it emphasizes reaching a destination more than just moving toward.

3. "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" - This doesn't fit. This is about events happening, not physical movement.

4. "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position" - This doesn't fit the context.

5-21. Other senses don't seem to fit.

Between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody"
- Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress"

In the context "the dogs came running," the dogs are moving toward Kim in response to her scream. They are approaching her location by running.

Sense 1 emphasizes the movement toward/approach aspect.
Sense 2 emphasizes reaching/arriving at a destination.

Both could work, but sense 1 seems more appropriate because the primary meaning here is the dogs responding and running toward her - the movement toward is the focus, not necessarily completing an arrival at a full destination.

Actually, looking again - "She arrived home at 7 o'clock" for sense 2 is very similar to this situation. The dogs came running means they moved toward and reached where Kim was.

I think sense 2 is actually the better choice - it's about arriving/reaching a destination through movement.

The dogs came running to her location, arriving through their movement toward her.

The context clearly refers to actual domestic dogs. Kim describes letting "the dogs into the house" and "the dogs came running," and then mentions putting them into "the dog run" (a fenced enclosure for dogs). This is the standard sense of dog as a domesticated animal, not any of the figurative or specialized senses.

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

In the passage, KIM is describing a frightening incident (likely an earthquake based on the descriptions). She mentions:
- "I scooted them into the <t>dog</t> run and stood in the doorway myself"

The "dog run" is a specific term referring to a fenced enclosure or pen for dogs. Given the context where she's referring to actual dogs (she mentions "let the dogs into the house" and "the dogs came running"), this is clearly referring to:

Sense 1: "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 literal, zoological sense referring to the domestic animal. The phrase "dog run" is a compound noun meaning a fenced area where dogs are kept or exercised.

The other senses don't make sense:
- Sense 2: derogatory term for a girl/woman
- Sense 3: informal term for a man
- Sense 4: morally reprehensible person
- Sense 5: a sausage
- Sense 6: mechanical part (pawl)
- Sense 7: fireplace andirons

So the answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage describes someone during what appears to be an earthquake:

"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 <t>stood</t> in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete."

So Kim is in the doorway, standing there, watching the trash cans dance across concrete. She is standing in a physical upright position in the doorway.

The target form is "stood" - past tense of "stand"

Let me look at the senses:

1. "be standing; be upright" - synonyms: stand up - This seems very applicable. She is in an upright position in the doorway.

2. "be in some specified state or condition" - This is more abstract, like "I stand corrected"

3. "occupy a place or location, also metaphorically" - This could work - she is occupying a place (the doorway)

4. "hold one's ground; maintain a position; be steadfast or upright" - More about firmness/stubbornness

5. "put up with something or somebody unpleasant" - Not relevant

6. "have or maintain a position or stand on an issue" - Not relevant

7. "remain inactive or immobile" - She's standing there, but this seems to emphasize inactivity

8. "be in effect; be or remain in force" - Not relevant

9. "be tall; have a height of; copula" - Not relevant

10. "put into an upright position" - This is transitive, but the usage here is intransitive

11. "withstand the force of something" - Not relevant in this context

12. "be available for stud services" - Not relevant
The most fitting sense is the first one—she's literally standing upright in the doorway. While she's also occupying that location, the primary meaning here is the physical act of standing in an upright posture, not just being present in a space.

The speaker is standing in the doorway observing the trash cans moving across the concrete during what appears to be an earthquake. The use of "watching" here means to observe with attention as events unfold—similar to the example "They watched as the murderer was executed." This is not vigilant/cautious watching, nor is it about looking at an entertainment event, but rather observing and paying attention to something happening in real-time.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to understand what "watching" means here.

In the sentence: "I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, <t>watching</t> the outside trash cans dance across the concrete."

The speaker is standing in the doorway and watching the trash cans dance across the concrete during what appears to be an earthquake. The action of "watching" here is observing what's happening - looking at the trash cans moving.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "look attentively" (watch a basketball game) - This is about paying close attention to something. This fits - the speaker is looking attentively at the trash cans.

2. "follow with the eyes or the mind" - This also involves observation with attention to detail. This could fit as well.

3. "see or watch" - This is quite general, watching as a synonym for viewing/seeing.

4. "observe with attention" (look on) - This fits - the speaker is observing the trash cans with attention as they dance across the concrete.

5. "be vigilant, be on the lookout or be careful" - This is about being cautious/alert. The speaker is standing in the doorway watching, but not specifically being cautious about something.

6. "observe or determine by looking" - This is observing to learn or determine something.

7. "find out, learn, or determine with certainty" - This is too focused on learning/determining facts.

The core action here is: the speaker is looking attentively/observing something happening (the trash cans moving). This is not about being vigilant or cautious per se, but about observing/watching something occur.

Senses 1 and 4 seem most appropriate:
- Sense 1: "look attentively" with example "watch a basketball game"
- Sense 4: "observe with attention" with example "They watched as the murderer was executed"
- Sense 4 better captures the scenario since it mirrors the example structure—standing as an observer while something unfolds before you, rather than watching for entertainment purposes.

The phrase "outside trash cans" refers to trash cans that are located in the open air/outdoor area of the house (on the concrete). This matches sense 4, which describes something "located, suited for, or taking place in the open air" with the synonym "outdoor" and examples like "outdoor clothes; badminton and other outdoor games." The trash cans are outdoor items positioned outside the house in the open air.

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

The context is about an earthquake. The narrator describes: "I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the <t>outside</t> trash cans dance across the concrete."

The word "outside" modifies "trash cans" - so we're looking for a sense that describes the position or location of trash cans relative to the house. The trash cans are physically located outside the house, on the concrete.

Let me look at each candidate:

1. "relating to or being on or near the outer side or limit" - This refers to position/location (outer side)
2. "coming from the outside" - This is about origin/source
3. "originating or belonging beyond some bounds" - This is about origin/extent
4. "located, suited for, or taking place in the open air" - This describes outdoor locations
5. "functioning outside the boundaries or precincts of an organized unit" - Not relevant
6. "leading to or from the outside" - This is about doors/entrances
7. "from or between other countries" - Not relevant
8. "very unlikely" - Not relevant
9. "on or toward an outer edge" - This is about position (outer edge)
10. "on the far side of home plate" - Baseball-specific, not relevant

The most fitting sense is one that describes something being located physically outside (on the exterior).

Sense 1 and 9 are both about position/outer side.
Sense 4 is about "open air" which fits with trash cans being outside the house.
Sense 6 is specifically about doors/entrance ways.

The trash cans are outside the house, in the open air, dancing across concrete. This best matches sense 4 "located, suited for, or taking place in the open air" with the synonym "outdoor". The trash cans are outdoor items in an outdoor location.
Sense 1 also fits well since it directly describes the trash cans as being on the exterior of the house. Between the two, sense 1 seems most direct—it's simply identifying the trash cans as located on the outside (outer side) of the house, which is the most straightforward reading of "outside trash cans."

The trash cans are moving "up and down or sideways" across the concrete during what appears to be an earthquake. This matches sense 3, which defines dance as "skip, leap, or move up and down or sideways." The example "Dancing flames" in this sense is particularly relevant, as it demonstrates how inanimate objects can "dance" with rapid, erratic movement. Senses 1 and 2 describe intentional, controlled movement and rhythmical dancing to music, which do not fit the context of trash cans bouncing during seismic activity.

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

The context describes trash cans moving "across the concrete" during what appears to be an earthquake. The sentence is: "watching the outside trash cans <t>dance</t> across the concrete."

   - This refers to graceful, rhythmical movement, typically associated with human dancing. This doesn't fit well with trash cans.

2. sense_key=dance%2:36:00:: | definition=move in a pattern; usually to musical accompaniment; do or perform a dance | synonyms=trip the light fantastic, trip the light fantastic toe | examples=My husband and I like to dance at home to the radio
   - This is about intentional dancing to music. This doesn't fit the context.

3. sense_key=dance%2:38:02:: | definition=skip, leap, or move up and down or sideways | examples=Dancing flames; The children danced with joy
   - This refers to quick, bouncy, up-and-down or sideways movement. The example of "dancing flames" suggests movement that's not controlled or graceful, but rather bouncing/moving erratically. This fits the trash cans bouncing across the concrete during an earthquake.

The trash cans are moving up and down and across the concrete (sideways) due to earthquake tremors. This matches sense 3, which describes movement that skips, leaps, or moves up and down or sideways. The example "Dancing flames" is particularly apt since it shows inanimate objects moving in a lively, bouncy manner.

The answer is sense 3.

The context shows the speaker becoming aware that the earthquake had ended ("When I realized it was over"). This matches sense 1, "be fully aware or cognizant of," which captures the meaning of suddenly recognizing or becoming conscious of a situation. The synonyms "recognize" and "recognise" are particularly apt here, as the speaker is recognizing that the dangerous event has concluded.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "realized" is used:

"When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home..."

The speaker is describing their reaction during an earthquake (based on the context of cupboard doors flying, trash cans moving, etc.). They use "realized" to mean they understood or became aware that the earthquake was ending.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "be fully aware or cognizant of" - This means to know or be conscious of something. This could fit - realizing the earthquake was over means becoming aware/conscious of this fact.

2. "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" - This means to understand or see mentally. This could also fit - understanding/perceiving that the earthquake was over.

3. "make real or concrete; give reality or substance to" - This is about making something real or tangible, which doesn't fit this context.

4. "earn on some commercial or business transaction" - This is about earning money, completely unrelated.

5. "convert into cash" - Also about money, unrelated.

6. "expand or complete a part in baroque music" - About music, unrelated.

So it's between senses 1 and 2. Let me look at them more carefully:

Sense 1: "be fully aware or cognizant of" with synonyms "recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise"

Sense 2: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" with synonyms "understand, realise, see" and examples "Now I see!; I just can't see your point"

In the context, the speaker "realized it was over" - meaning they became aware/understood that the earthquake had ended.

Sense 1 emphasizes being aware or cognizant - knowing something.
Sense 2 emphasizes perceiving an idea or situation mentally - understanding.

Both could work, but sense 1 seems slightly more direct - "realize" in this context means to become aware of or recognize that something has happened.

The synonym "recognize" for sense 1 fits perfectly here—the speaker recognized that the earthquake had ended. Sense 2's examples like "Now I see!" suggest a sudden conceptual understanding, whereas this passage is about recognizing a change in circumstances. Sense 1 is the better fit.

The speaker moved from one location (inside/at the house) to another (out in front of the house). This is a clear instance of physical movement and change of location, which matches sense 1: "change location; move, travel, or proceed."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "went" 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..."

The speaker is describing what happened after realizing the earthquake/natural disaster was over. They "went and stood out in front of the house" - this is describing a movement from one location to another.

Let me examine the relevant senses:

1. sense_key=go%2:38:00:: - "change location; move, travel, or proceed" - This seems very relevant. The person physically moved to stand in front of the house.

2. sense_key=go%2:41:00:: - "follow a procedure or take a course" - Less relevant, this is more about following a process.

3. sense_key=go%2:38:01:: - "move away from a place into another direction" - This is specifically about departing/going away, which fits the context of moving from inside the house to outside in front.

20. sense_key=go%2:38:09:: - "begin or set in motion" - Could work with "went and stood" but the primary action is movement.

Looking at the context more carefully: "I went and stood out in front of the house" - the word "went" here indicates physical movement from one location (inside/at the house) to another location (out in front of the house).

Sense 1 (go%2:38:00) is about "change location; move, travel, or proceed" - this is the most general and accurate.
Sense 3 (go%2:38:01) is specifically "move away from a place into another direction" - this also fits well.

Between these two, sense 1 seems more appropriate as it encompasses general movement/change of location, while sense 3 specifically emphasizes "going away" or "departing." The context shows the person moving to a specific location (in front of the house), not just departing.
Sense 1 is the best fit here.

The context shows Kim standing in an upright physical position ("stood out in front of the house, waiting"). She is maintaining an upright posture while waiting for her husband. This matches sense 1: "be standing; be upright" with its synonym "stand up" and example about standing for an extended period. While sense 3 (occupy a place) is also plausible, sense 1 more directly captures the physical act of standing upright that is clearly depicted in this scene.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for "stood out in front of the house":

The sentence is: "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 person is standing outside the house in front of it, waiting. They're in a physical upright position, waiting for their husband to come home.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "be standing; be upright" - This is about being in an upright position physically. This seems very relevant.

2. "be in some specified state or condition" - Not really about the physical position.

3. "occupy a place or location, also metaphorically" - This could work, as she's occupying a place (in front of the house).

4. "hold one's ground; maintain a position; be steadfast or upright" - This is more about holding firm, not just standing in place.

5. "put up with something or somebody unpleasant" - Not relevant.

6. "have or maintain a position or stand on an issue" - Not relevant.

7. "remain inactive or immobile" - Not really about standing, more about standing water or inactive state.

8. "be in effect; be or remain in force" - Not relevant.

9. "be tall; have a height of; copula" - Not relevant here.

10. "put into an upright position" - This is transitive, but "stood" is intransitive here.

11. "withstand the force of something" - Not relevant.

12. "be available for stud services" - Not relevant.

The context suggests she is physically standing in an upright position in front of the house. Sense 1 ("be standing; be upright") seems like the best match. The example "We had to stand for the entire performance!" is very similar to the context - standing in place for a period of time.
Sense 3 could also apply since she's occupying a specific location, but sense 1 is more precise and directly captures the physical act of standing upright. Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage describes a natural disaster (likely an earthquake) happening, and KIM is describing experiencing it at home. Key phrases include:

- "I got home, let the dogs into the house" - referring to where she lives
- "noticed some sounds above my head, as if someone were walking on the roof, or upstairs" - inside the house
- "screamed into the house for the dogs" - calling into the building where she lives
- "went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home" - standing outside her residence

This is clearly referring to a dwelling - a residential building where people live. The person went home, let dogs into it, experienced natural disaster effects in and around it, and then stood in front of it waiting for her husband to come home.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families" - This is the definition of a residential house. This matches perfectly.

2. A business organization - No, this is not about a business.

3. A religious community - No, this is not about a religious community.

4. The audience in a theater - No, not about an audience.

5. A legislative assembly - No, not about government.

6. Aristocratic family line - No, not about aristocracy.

7. Children's pretend play - No, not about playing.

8. Astrology zodiac - No, not about astrology.

9. Gambling house management - No, not about gambling.

10. "a social unit living together" (family, household, home, menage) - This could work as it's synonymous with household, but sense 1 is more directly about the physical dwelling itself.

11. A theater building - No, not about a theater.

12. "a building in which something is sheltered or located" - This is too general/vague.
The first sense is clearly the strongest fit. It directly captures the physical structure where KIM lives with her family, which is what the passage emphasizes throughout—her returning home, experiencing the disaster within and around the building, and waiting outside it for her husband.

The target word "waiting" in this context means to "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something." KIM is standing in front of her house, remaining in that location while expecting and waiting for Merrill to return home. This matches sense 1 perfectly, as it captures both the physical act of staying in place (standing in front of the house) and the mental state of expecting something to happen (Merrill's arrival).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the target word "waiting" to determine which sense is best.

The context describes KIM experiencing what appears to be an earthquake or natural disaster (dogs bouncing, car bouncing, cupboard doors flying, trash cans moving). After it's over, she goes to stand outside the house "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=wait%2:42:00:: | definition=stay in one place and anticipate or expect something | examples=I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets
   - This means to remain in a location while expecting something to happen. In the context, KIM is standing in front of the house, waiting for Merrill to come home. This fits well.

2. sense_key=wait%2:42:01:: | definition=wait before acting | synonyms=hold off, hold back | examples=the scientists held off announcing their results until they repeated the experiment
   - This is about delaying an action or holding back. This doesn't fit as well - she's not waiting before acting, she's waiting for someone to arrive.

3. sense_key=wait%2:31:00:: | definition=look forward to the probable occurrence of | synonyms=expect, look, await | examples=We were expecting a visit from our relatives; She is looking to a promotion
   - This is about anticipating something. While there's an element of anticipation here, the primary action is standing and waiting for Merrill to come home, not just the psychological act of anticipating.

4. sense_key=wait%2:41:00:: | definition=serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant | synonyms=waitress | examples=I'm waiting on tables at Maxim's
   - This is clearly not the right sense - there's no restaurant context here.

Sense 1 best captures what's happening here—KIM is physically positioned outside the house in anticipation of Merrill's arrival. Sense 3 focuses more on the mental aspect of anticipation rather than the concrete act of remaining in place and waiting. The answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

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 <t>praying</t> for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened.

The context shows Kim standing frightened after a natural disaster, "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home." In this usage, "praying" refers to addressing a deity (implicitly God) in prayer for his safe return. This aligns with sense 1, which captures the formal religious sense of prayer. While sense 2 (entreating/begging) could theoretically apply, the colloquial phrase "praying for someone" conventionally invokes the sense of making a prayer to a deity rather than simply expressing a desperate wish.

Let me analyze the context and the two senses available for "praying".

Context: Kim is standing in front of her house after an earthquake (seemingly), waiting and "praying" for Merrill to come home. She was frightened.

Sense 1: "address a deity, a prophet, a saint or an object of worship; say a prayer" | examples: "pray to the Lord"
- This is the formal religious sense of prayer, directed toward a deity or sacred figure.

Sense 2: "call upon in supplication; entreat" | synonyms: beg, implore | examples: "I beg you to stop!"
- This is a more general sense meaning to make an urgent request or supplication.

In the context, Kim is "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home." This is an expression of hope and desire, but it's not explicitly addressing a deity. It could be interpreted either way:

1. She could be literally praying to God/a deity for Merrill's safety
2. She could be using "praying" in a more colloquial sense meaning she desperately hopes/wishes for Merrill to come home

However, looking at the actual usage in English, when someone says they are "praying for" someone to arrive or be safe, this is typically either:
- A religious prayer to a deity (sense 1)
- A desperate wish/hope, which could align with sense 2's "entreating" or supplication

The phrase "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home" seems to lean more toward sense 1 - addressing a deity (implicitly God) for his safe arrival. This is a common idiomatic usage where "praying" refers to prayer addressed to a deity.

However, sense 2 with "entreat" or "beg" could also fit if we interpret "praying for" as desperately hoping/requesting.

Given the context of her fear and distress after a natural disaster, she is likely praying in the religious sense to a deity for Merrill's safe return. This would be sense 1.
Both senses could technically apply here—sense 2 captures the earnest supplication aspect of "praying for" someone—but the idiomatic usage of "praying for" in English typically invokes sense 1, addressing a deity. I'll go with sense 1.
