In the context "Didn't feel a thing," the speaker is referring vaguely to any physical sensation or perceptible effect from the earthquake, without specifying exactly what they might have felt. This matches sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically," which captures the indefinite, unnamed nature of the reference.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Didn't feel a <t>thing</t>, but noticed some strange bird behavior."

The person is describing an earthquake experience. They didn't "feel a thing" means they didn't experience/perceive any physical sensation or effect from the earthquake.

Let me consider the senses:

1. "a special situation" - doesn't fit
2. "an action" - doesn't fit
3. "a special abstraction" - doesn't fit
4. "an artifact" - doesn't fit
5. "an event" - doesn't fit
6. "a vaguely specified concern" - doesn't fit
7. "a statement regarded as an object" - doesn't fit
8. "an entity that is not named specifically" - this could work. They're referring to something not named specifically (the earthquake or its effects)
9. "any attribute or quality" - doesn't fit
10. "a special objective" - doesn't fit
11. "a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion" - doesn't fit
12. "a separate and self-contained entity" - similar to 8

When someone says "didn't feel a thing", they mean they didn't feel/perceive anything. The "thing" here is being used to refer to a sensation or perception in a very vague, unspecified way.

Looking at sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically" with example "I couldn't tell what the thing was" - this seems like it could fit.

Actually, sense 6 "a vaguely specified concern" with synonyms "matter, affair" and examples about "matters to attend to" - this is also about vaguely specified things.

In "didn't feel a thing", the word "thing" is being used very vaguely to mean "anything" or "any sensation/effect". This is closest to sense 8 or possibly sense 6.
Sense 8 best captures what's happening here—the speaker is referring to something deliberately left unnamed and unspecified, which aligns with how "thing" functions as a catch-all term for any unidentified sensation or physical effect.

The context shows the speaker noticing (detecting/observing) strange bird behavior - becoming aware of something's existence or presence. This aligns best with sense 1's definition "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" and its synonyms "detect, observe." The speaker is reporting that they observed/detected the bird behavior occurring around the time of the earthquake.

Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "noticed" in the given sentence:

Context: "Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior. Duck swarms."

The person is describing that they didn't feel an earthquake (they're near the San Andreas Fault), but they noticed some strange bird behavior. So they "noticed" = they became aware of, they detected, they observed some bird behavior.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=notice%2:39:04:: | definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | synonyms=detect, observe, find, discover
   - This is about discovering or determining the existence of something
   - Examples involve detecting something (lead levels)
   - "noticed some strange bird behavior" fits this - they detected/discovered the bird behavior

2. sense_key=notice%2:39:00:: | definition=notice or perceive | synonyms=mark, note
   - This is about noticing or perceiving something
   - Examples: "She noted that someone was following her"
   - This could fit - they perceived the bird behavior

3. sense_key=notice%2:32:00:: | definition=make or write a comment on | synonyms=comment, remark, point out
   - This is about making a comment or remark
   - This doesn't fit the context - they're not making a comment about the bird behavior

4. sense_key=notice%2:32:01:: | definition=express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with | synonyms=acknowledge
   - This is about acknowledging or expressing recognition
   - This doesn't fit well either

The key difference between sense 1 and 2 is subtle. Sense 1 emphasizes "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms like "detect, observe, find, discover". Sense 2 emphasizes "notice or perceive" with synonyms like "mark, note".
In this context, the person is reporting an observation of bird behavior they encountered. Sense 1 appears more fitting since it captures the detection aspect—they observed something unusual happening—and the synonyms "detect" and "observe" directly align with how "noticed" functions here.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "strange" is being used.

The context is: "This being typed in a standing position. 1:20 a.m. DGAULT: Bolinas -- astride the San Andreas Fault. Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some <t>strange</t> bird behavior. Duck swarms."

The speaker noticed "strange bird behavior" - specifically duck swarms. Let me consider each sense:

1. Sense 1: "being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird" - synonyms: unusual. Examples: "a strange exaltation that was indefinable; a strange fantastical mind"

2. Sense 2: "not known before" - synonyms: unknown. Examples: "used many strange words; saw many strange faces in the crowd"

3. Sense 3: "relating to or originating in or characteristic of another place or part of the world" - synonyms: foreign. Examples: "foreign nations; a foreign accent"

In the context, the speaker is describing bird behavior as "strange." Duck swarms gathering near the San Andreas Fault would be unusual and unexpected behavior - something odd or out of the ordinary. The birds aren't being described as "foreign" or "unknown," but rather as behaving in an unexpected manner.

This clearly matches Sense 1: "being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird." The duck swarms would be unusual/strange behavior that the speaker wouldn't normally expect.

Sense 2 (unknown/unfamiliar) could work somewhat, but it doesn't fit as well. The behavior isn't necessarily unknown to the speaker in the sense of never having seen those words or faces before - it's behavior that is out of the ordinary.

Sense 3 (foreign/relating to another place) doesn't fit at all.

The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "bird" is being used.

The sentence is: "Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange <t>bird</t> behavior. Duck swarms."

The context mentions:
- "bird behavior"
- "Duck swarms"

The author is discussing unusual animal behavior during or around an earthquake near the San Andreas Fault. The phrase "bird behavior" and the mention of "Duck swarms" indicates that the text is referring to actual birds - animals, not food, sports equipment, or slang terms.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=bird%1:05:00:: - warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings
   - This matches perfectly. The context talks about "bird behavior" and "Duck swarms" - clearly referring to the animals themselves.

2. sense_key=bird%1:13:00:: - the flesh of a bird or fowl used as food
   - This doesn't fit. The context is about behavior, not food.

3. sense_key=bird%1:18:00:: - informal terms for a (young) woman
   - This doesn't fit. The context is about animal behavior, not women.

4. sense_key=bird%1:10:00:: - a cry or noise made to express displeasure
   - This doesn't fit. While "bird" can mean this, the context clearly refers to animals and their behavior.

5. sense_key=bird%1:06:01:: - badminton equipment
   - This doesn't fit. The context is about actual animals.

The best sense is clearly #1 - the actual animal definition. The context talks about "bird behavior" and "Duck swarms," which are clearly references to actual birds as animals.

The context describes observing unusual behavior in birds (ducks) in response to an earthquake. Sense 4 is the best fit because it specifically defines behavior as "the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation." The birds' swarm behavior represents their reactions and movements as organisms responding to the seismic event circumstances, which aligns perfectly with this definition.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage talks about observing "strange bird behavior" after an earthquake, mentioning "Duck swarms."

The context is clearly about how birds (ducks) are behaving/acting in response to the earthquake. The author noticed unusual behavior exhibited by birds.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "manner of acting or controlling yourself" - This is about human behavior and self-control. Not applicable here as it's about bird behavior.

2. "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances" - This is about non-biological things like machines or substances. Could fit since birds are reacting to circumstances (earthquake), but it's more about physical systems.

3. "(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people" - This is specifically about interpersonal behavior. Not applicable to birds.

4. "(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation" - This is about how organisms (including animals) respond and react in situations. The ducks are exhibiting responses/reactions (swarms) to circumstances.

The key phrase is "noticed some strange bird behavior" with "Duck swarms" following. This describes how the birds are reacting/responding to the earthquake situation. The swarm behavior is a response by the organisms (birds) to circumstances.

Sense 4 seems most appropriate because:
- It's specifically about organisms (which birds are)
- It mentions "responses or reactions or movements" which fits with the observed swarm behavior
- It's about reactions to "any situation" (in this case, likely earthquake-related)

Sense 2 could also work since it mentions "action or reaction...under specified circumstances," but it's phrased more broadly for machines/substances, while sense 4 is specifically about organisms.

I believe sense 4 is the best fit.

Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense of "Duck" in this passage.

The context is: "This being typed in a standing position. 1:20 a.m. DGAULT: Bolinas -- astride the San Andreas Fault. Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior. <t>Duck</t> swarms. 3:25 a.m."

The passage is talking about:
- Someone standing and typing
- Location: Bolinas (near San Andreas Fault)
- They noticed "strange bird behavior"
- "Duck swarms"

This is clearly referring to multiple ducks (birds) that were observed swarming together. The context explicitly mentions "bird behavior" right before mentioning "Duck swarms."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "small wild or domesticated web-footed broad-billed swimming bird usually having a depressed body and short legs" - This is the animal duck. The context mentions "strange bird behavior" and "Duck swarms," which makes perfect sense for this definition.

2. "(cricket) a score of nothing by a batsman" - This is a cricket term. Nothing in the context suggests cricket.

3. "flesh of a duck (domestic or wild)" - This would refer to duck meat/food. The context doesn't suggest this interpretation.

4. "a heavy cotton fabric of plain weave; used for clothing and tents" - This is a textile. The context doesn't suggest this.

Clearly, sense 1 is the correct answer. The passage is describing bird behavior, specifically ducks swarming, which was observed as strange behavior during an earthquake event in Bolinas.

The context describes "Duck swarms" as strange bird behavior observed during seismic activity. This refers to ducks gathering and moving together as a crowd or drove. Sense 1 (a moving crowd, synonyms: drove, horde) is the most appropriate interpretation, as ducks forming swarms would constitute a moving crowd of animals, not merely a static collection of things. The synonym "drove" is particularly fitting for a group of ducks in motion.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "swarms" in the given sentence.

The context is: "Duck swarms. 3:25 a.m."

This is part of a timestamped log entry about observations during an earthquake (note the mention of the San Andreas Fault). The writer is noting "strange bird behavior" and specifically mentions "Duck swarms."

Let me examine the two senses:

1. sense_key=swarm%1:14:01:: | definition=a moving crowd | synonyms=drove, horde
   - This refers to a crowd/group of living beings moving together
   - Synonyms like "drove" and "horde" suggest organized groups of animals moving

2. sense_key=swarm%1:14:00:: | definition=a group of many things in the air or on the ground | synonyms=cloud | examples=a swarm of insects obscured the light; clouds of blossoms
   - This refers to large groups of many things (insects, etc.)
   - The example specifically mentions "a swarm of insects" which is a classic use

In the context "Duck swarms," we're talking about ducks (birds) gathering/moving together. Ducks would create a swarm - a large group of living creatures.

Both senses could apply to birds/ducks, but let me think more carefully:

Sense 1 emphasizes "moving crowd" with synonyms "drove, horde" - a drove of ducks is a common phrase
Sense 2 emphasizes "a group of many things in the air or on the ground" with the example of insects

Given that ducks are moving animals that would form a "moving crowd" or "drove," and the context specifically mentions this is "strange bird behavior" during what appears to be seismic activity, sense 1 (a moving crowd) seems most appropriate for birds.

Sense 2 is more typically used for insects (as shown in the example "swarm of insects"), though it can apply more broadly.
The first sense better captures what's happening here—ducks forming a moving crowd or drove, which aligns with how we naturally describe flocking birds. The answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

The speaker describes feeling an aftershock, which is a physical phenomenon perceived through the body. Sense 3 - "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles" - best captures this meaning. The examples provided (feeling wind, feeling an object brushing one's arm) parallel the physical sensation of perceiving an earthquake tremor.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully:

"I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago. I'm just numb."

The speaker is talking about feeling an aftershock (an earthquake tremor). This is about perceiving a physical sensation through the body - the tremor/vibration would be felt physically.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=feel%2:37:00:: - undergo an emotional sensation or state of mind (She felt resentful; He felt regret) - This is about emotions, not about physical sensations

2. sense_key=feel%2:31:00:: - come to believe on the basis of emotion/intuitions (I feel that he doesn't like me) - This is about beliefs/opinions

3. sense_key=feel%2:39:00:: - perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from skin or muscles (He felt the wind; She felt an object brushing her arm) - This is about perceiving physical sensations

4. sense_key=feel%2:29:00:: - be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state (My cold is gone--I feel fine today) - This is about being conscious of a state

5. sense_key=feel%2:31:01:: - have a feeling about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior - This is about self-perception

6. sense_key=feel%2:39:01:: - undergo passive experience of (We felt the effects of inflation) - This is about experiencing effects

7. sense_key=feel%2:42:00:: - be felt or perceived in a certain way (The ground feels shaky) - This is about how something feels

The remaining senses don't apply here. Options 8-11 involve active searching, touching, or cautious exploration rather than passively experiencing a tremor. Options 12-13 relate to impressions or intimate contact, which aren't relevant to the earthquake context.

The most fitting sense is actually sense 3 - perceiving a physical sensation through the body. An aftershock is a tangible physical phenomenon that registers as vibration and tremor felt through muscles and skin, similar to how one might feel wind or an object brushing against them.

The context "I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago" clearly refers to the basic unit of time measurement. The speaker is measuring a brief duration of time in seconds, which aligns with sense 1: "1/60 of a minute; the basic unit of time adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context: "I just felt another aftershock a few <t>seconds</t> ago."

The speaker is talking about how recently they felt an aftershock - just a few seconds ago. This is clearly referring to a unit of time, specifically the measure of time.

Let me go through the options:

1. sense_key=second%1:28:00:: - "1/60 of a minute; the basic unit of time adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites" - This is the formal definition of a second as a unit of time.

2. sense_key=second%1:28:01:: - "an indefinitely short time" with examples like "wait just a moment; in a mo" - This refers to an unspecified short period.

3. sense_key=second%1:04:00:: - baseball position - Not relevant.

4. sense_key=second%1:28:02:: - "a particular point in time" - This would refer to a moment in time, not a duration.

5. sense_key=second%1:24:00:: - following the first in ordering - Not relevant.

6. sense_key=second%1:23:00:: - "a 60th part of a minute of arc" - This is an arcsecond, not a time second.

7-10: Not relevant to time.

The phrase "a few seconds ago" clearly refers to a unit of time measurement. The question is whether it's sense 1 (the precise unit of time) or sense 2 (an indefinitely short time).

Looking at the context: "I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago" - this is using "seconds" as a countable unit of time. The speaker is saying this happened in the recent past, measured in seconds. While sense 2 could work (an indefinitely short time), sense 1 is more precise and is the actual standard unit of time.

I think sense 1 is the best answer here.

Even when someone isn't being scientifically rigorous about it, "a few seconds ago" still invokes the actual temporal unit rather than just a vague notion of "shortly."

**Reasoning:** In this context, SAMURAI is responding to experiencing earthquake aftershocks and describes feeling "numb." This represents an emotional or psychological state—a detachment or lack of emotional responsiveness to the traumatic experience. This matches sense 2, which defines "numb" as "not showing human feeling or sensitivity; unresponsive" (followed by "to"). The emotional numbness that comes from shock or trauma is a well-established use of this word, distinct from physical numbness (sense 1) or fear-induced paralysis (sense 3).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the three candidate senses for the word "numb":

Context: A person (SAMURAI) is responding to experiencing aftershocks from what appears to be an earthquake. They say "I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago. I'm just numb."

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=numb%5:00:00:insensible:00 | definition=lacking sensation | synonyms=asleep, benumbed | examples=my foot is asleep; numb with cold
   - This refers to physical numbness, lacking physical sensation
   - Not the best fit here since they're describing an emotional/psychological state

2. sense_key=numb%5:00:00:insensitive:02 | definition=(followed by `to') not showing human feeling or sensitivity; unresponsive | synonyms=dead | examples=passersby were dead to our plea for help; numb to the cries for mercy
   - This refers to emotional insensitivity or lack of responsiveness to feelings/emotions
   - In the context of experiencing aftershocks, saying "I'm just numb" suggests an emotional state - they're likely overwhelmed or emotionally unresponsive/detached from the situation
   - This fits well with the emotional numbness that comes from trauma or shock

3. sense_key=numb%5:00:00:afraid:00 | definition=so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror; petrified | examples=too numb with fear to move
   - This is about being paralyzed by fear
   - While fear could be present in an earthquake scenario, the sentence says "I'm just numb" not "I'm terrified"

The best fit is sense 2. When someone experiences traumatic events like earthquakes, they often describe feeling "numb" in an emotional sense - unresponsive, disconnected, or emotionally insensitive to what's happening.

The person is expressing emotional detachment rather than physical insensitivity or fear-induced paralysis.

The sentence "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off" uses "seems" to express what appears to be true or apparent based on the observed conditions (no power, minimal phones, mess in stores). This aligns with sense 2, which conveys "seem to be true, probable, or apparent." The speaker is reporting an apparent fact derived from the situation, rather than describing a subjective impression or outward aspect alone.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off."

The target word is "seems" and I need to determine which sense is being used.

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense_key=seem%2:39:00::** "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" with synonyms "look, appear" and examples like "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem"

2. **sense_key=seem%2:39:01::** "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" with synonym "appear" and examples "It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad"

3. **sense_key=seem%2:42:00::** "appear to exist" with examples "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"

4. **sense_key=seem%2:39:02::** "appear to one's own mind or opinion" with examples "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters"

In the context: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off."

This is describing what appears to be true based on the circumstances described - no power, minimal phones, and a mess everywhere. The speaker is reporting what seems to be the case - that this area seems worst off.

This could fit:
- Sense 1: giving the impression/outward appearance that it's the worst off
- Sense 2: it seems true/apparent that it's the worst off
- Sense 3: appears to exist (doesn't fit as well)
- Sense 4: appears to the speaker's mind/opinion (could fit but less likely)

Between senses 1 and 2, sense 2 ("seem to be true, probable, or apparent") seems more fitting because the speaker is expressing what appears to be true/apparent based on the conditions observed, rather than just giving a general impression or outward appearance.
The most appropriate fit is sense 2, which captures the speaker's assertion that something appears to be true or probable given the observable evidence.

The context refers to "the part of town that's worst off," which is referring to a geographic area or region of the town. Sense 5 with the definition "the extended spatial location of something" and synonyms "region" is the best match, as evidenced by the example "religions in all parts of the world," which uses "part" in the same geographic/spatial sense.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and identify which sense of "part" is being used.

Context: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off."

The speaker is referring to a geographic location - specifically a particular area of a town. Let me look at the senses:

1. sense_key=part%1:24:00:: - "something determined in relation to something that includes it" - This is about components of a whole
2. sense_key=part%1:06:00:: - "something less than the whole of a human artifact" - Could apply but seems focused on man-made objects
3. sense_key=part%1:17:00:: - "a portion of a natural object" - This is about natural objects
4. sense_key=part%1:09:02:: - "that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation" - Not relevant
5. sense_key=part%1:15:00:: - "the extended spatial location of something" - This refers to regions/locations. Examples: "the farming regions of France; religions in all parts of the world"
6. sense_key=part%1:04:01:: - About roles/functions - Not relevant
7. sense_key=part%1:09:01:: - About acting roles - Not relevant
8. sense_key=part%1:21:00:: - About assets/shares - Not relevant
9. sense_key=part%1:09:00:: - "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided" - This could work
10. sense_key=part%1:08:01:: - About hair parting - Not relevant
11. sense_key=part%1:10:00:: - About music - Not relevant
12. sense_key=part%1:04:03:: - About contribution/role - Not relevant

The best match is sense 5 (part%1:15:00::), which has definition "the extended spatial location of something" with synonyms "region" and examples like "religions in all parts of the world".

The phrase "the part of town that's worst off" is asking which geographic area or region of the town is experiencing the most hardship. This clearly aligns with the spatial location sense, making sense index 5 the correct answer.

The context describes "the part of town that's worst off" in reference to Downtown Bolinas, indicating a specific geographical/physical urban area affected by the earthquake. This matches sense 1, which defines town as "an urban area with a fixed boundary that is smaller than a city." The reference to a localized area being damaged fits the spatial, geographic meaning rather than the people (sense 2), administrative division (sense 3), or the architect (sense 4).

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

Context: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of <t>town</t> that's worst off."

The text is discussing Bolinas, which is a real place in California. The speaker is saying that "Downtown Bolinas" is the part of the town that's worst off from an earthquake/aftershock.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=town%1:15:00:: - "an urban area with a fixed boundary that is smaller than a city" - This refers to the physical urban area itself.

2. sense_key=town%1:14:00:: - "the people living in a municipality smaller than a city" - This refers to the people/townspeople.

3. sense_key=town%1:15:01:: - "an administrative division of a county" - This refers to a township as an administrative unit.

4. sense_key=town%1:18:00:: - "United States architect..." - This is a proper noun for a person, clearly not relevant here.

In the context "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off," the word "town" refers to the physical location/urban area. The speaker is talking about which geographical part of the town (urban area) is damaged.

This is sense 1: "an urban area with a fixed boundary that is smaller than a city" - because they're referring to the physical geographical location/place.

It could potentially be sense 3 (administrative division), but sense 1 seems more natural because they're specifically referring to the geographic/physical area that's damaged.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context indicates a disaster scenario where the speaker is listing what's unavailable due to an earthquake: "No power, minimal phones." This refers to telephone equipment/communication infrastructure, which matches sense 1 (electronic equipment for transmitting sound over distances). Sense 2 refers to phonetic units of speech (irrelevant here), and sense 3 refers to earphones/earpieces (not the intended meaning in this context).

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

The sentence reads: "No power, minimal <t>phones</t>, and a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors..."

This is written during what appears to be a disaster/earthquake situation. The person is describing the lack of services and functioning infrastructure in their town - no power, minimal phones.

In this context, "phones" refers to telecommunications equipment - telephone sets or telephone lines that allow people to communicate. This is about the inability to make calls due to the disaster.

Let me check the three senses:

1. **Sense 1 (phone%1:06:00::)**: "electronic equipment that converts sound into electrical signals that can be transmitted over distances and then converts received signals back into sounds" - synonyms: telephone, telephone set. This matches the context - they're talking about the minimal availability of telephone equipment/service.

2. **Sense 2 (phone%1:10:00::)**: "(phonetics) an individual sound unit of speech" - This is clearly not relevant. They're not talking about phonetic units of speech.

3. **Sense 3 (phone%1:06:01::)**: "electro-acoustic transducer for converting electric signals into sounds; it is held over or inserted into the ear" - This refers to earphones/headphones/earpieces. This doesn't fit the context.

The correct sense is clearly Sense 1, which refers to telephone equipment/telephone sets - the devices used for communication.

The phrase "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else" uses "mess" to indicate a large quantity or amount of these substances scattered on the floors. This matches sense 6, which defines "mess" (often followed by "of") as "a large number or amount or extent," with synonyms like "deal," "batch," and "great deal."

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

"...a <t>mess</t> of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the big old general store and the People's Co-op."

The sentence is describing the aftermath of an earthquake. There is mayonnaise, wine, and other items scattered all over the floors. Let me consider which sense best fits:

1. sense_key=mess%1:26:00:: - "a state of confusion and disorderliness" - This could work, describing a confused and disorderly state of things scattered on the floor.

2. sense_key=mess%1:26:02:: - "informal terms for a difficult situation" - This is about being in a difficult situation, not directly applicable here.

3. sense_key=mess%1:13:01:: - "soft semiliquid food" - This describes porridge-like food, but the context mentions mayonnaise, wine, and other items, not specifically food.

4. sense_key=mess%1:13:00:: - "a meal eaten in a mess hall" - Not applicable.

5. sense_key=mess%1:06:00:: - "a military dining room" - Not applicable.

6. sense_key=mess%1:23:00:: - "(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent" - This describes a large quantity. The phrase is "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else" - this could be interpreted as "a large amount/quantity of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else."

Looking at the phrase more carefully: "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors"

Sense 6 fits well because it's describing a large quantity or amount of these substances. The phrasing "a mess of" is consistent with "a large number or amount or extent." This is a colloquial way of saying "a large amount of."
The phrasing "a mess of" aligns with synonyms like "batch," "deal," and "great deal," making sense 6 the strongest match for this usage.

The context clearly refers to wine as a beverage that spilled on the floors of a store during an earthquake, listed alongside mayonnaise and other items. This is wine as fermented grape juice, not as a color descriptor.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "wine" in this sentence.

The context says: "No power, minimal phones, and a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the big old general store and the People's Co-op."

This is clearly referring to wine as a beverage that spilled on the floors during an earthquake. It's listing items that fell and made a mess: mayonnaise, wine, and other things.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=wine%1:13:00:: | definition=fermented juice (of grapes especially) | synonyms=vino
   - This is the beverage - fermented grape juice
   - This fits the context perfectly - wine as a drink that spilled

2. sense_key=wine%1:07:00:: | definition=a red as dark as red wine | synonyms=wine-colored, wine-coloured
   - This is a color sense - referring to a dark red color like wine
   - This doesn't fit the context - the text is not describing a color, it's describing physical items that fell on the floor

Given the context, where wine is being mentioned alongside mayonnaise as items that spilled on the floor during an earthquake, this is clearly referring to wine as the actual beverage (fermented grape juice), not as a color descriptor.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context describes items (mayonnaise, wine, and other things) scattered "all over the floors of the big old general store and the People's Co-op" due to earthquake damage. This clearly refers to the inside lower horizontal surface of rooms within these buildings, which matches sense 1 perfectly. The example "they needed rugs to cover the bare floors" from that sense directly parallels the usage here.

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

From the context:
"No power, minimal phones, and a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the big old general store and the People's Co-op."

The passage is describing damage from an earthquake (aftershocks mentioned). There's a mess of various items (mayonnaise, wine, etc.) all over the "floors" of buildings - specifically a general store and People's Co-op.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=floor%1:06:00:: "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)" - This fits! The floors of the store have items scattered on them.

2. sense_key=floor%1:06:01:: "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale" - This refers to a level/story of a building, not the surface items are on.

3. sense_key=floor%1:10:00:: "a lower limit" - No, this is abstract/metaphorical.

4. sense_key=floor%1:17:01:: "the ground on which people and animals move about" - This is outdoor ground, not indoors.

5. sense_key=floor%1:17:00:: "the bottom surface of any lake or other body of water" - Not relevant.

6. sense_key=floor%1:17:02:: "the lower inside surface of any hollow structure" - Possible but less specific than sense 1.

7. sense_key=floor%1:14:00:: "the occupants of a floor" - Not what we need.

8. sense_key=floor%1:07:00:: "the parliamentary right to address an assembly" - Not relevant.

9. sense_key=floor%1:06:03:: "the legislative hall where members debate and vote" - Not relevant.
10. sense_key=floor%1:06:02:: "a large room in a exchange where the trading is done" - Not relevant.

The first sense clearly matches—it describes the inside lower horizontal surface where the scattered items rest. The answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

The word "big" is used to describe the physical size of the general store. The context clearly refers to a "big old general store," indicating that the store is large in physical dimensions rather than important, intense, or any other quality. This matches sense 1: "above average in size or number or quantity or magnitude or extent," which aligns with the examples "a large city; set out for the big city."

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

The context is: "No power, minimal phones, and a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the <t>big</t> old general store and the People's Co-op."

The speaker is describing a general store that is "big" and "old". This is talking about the physical size of the building/store.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "above average in size or number or quantity or magnitude or extent" - This is clearly about physical size. The example is "a large city; set out for the big city". This fits perfectly.

2. "significant" - Not about the store being important, but about its physical size.

3. "very intense" - No intensity being described.

4. "loud and firm" - Not about volume/loudness.

5. "conspicuous in position or importance" - While the store is physically large, the context doesn't emphasize its importance or prominence in the community.

6. "prodigious" (heavy eater/spender) - Not about consumption patterns.

7. "exhibiting self-importance" - No self-importance here.

8. "feeling self-importance" - No self-importance.

9. "fully developed/adult" - Not about the store being grown/adult.

10. "marked by intense physical force" - Not describing a physical force like wind.

11. "generous and understanding" - Not about generosity.

12. "given or giving freely" - Not about generosity.

13. "in an advanced stage of pregnancy" - Doesn't apply.

The best sense is clearly sense 1, which describes physical size/magnitude. The store is literally a "big old general store" - it's large in physical dimensions.
The answer is sense 1.

The word "old" describes the general store, indicating it is a long-established, not-new building. This matches sense 2 ("of long duration; not new"), which is the most appropriate interpretation in the context of describing a physical structure that has been around for a considerable time.

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

The sentence is: "No power, minimal phones, and a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the big <t>old</t> general store and the People's Co-op."

The word "old" is being used to describe a "general store." The context is about an earthquake that has damaged a building, and they're describing the physical condition and mess inside a general store.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "Having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age" - This is about people/organisms, not buildings. Not applicable.

2. "Of long duration; not new" - This fits. The general store is being described as "old" meaning it has been around for a long time, it's not a new building. This makes sense in context.

3. "Very familiar" - Not really the main meaning here. Though it could apply with emphasis, it doesn't fit the primary meaning.

4. "Skilled through long experience" - This is about people having experience. Not applicable to a building.

5. "Belonging to some prior time" - This is about something being from the past (like "my old house" meaning a house I used to own). While this could technically apply, sense 2 is more direct.

6. "Used informally especially for emphasis" - Not the primary meaning here.

7. "Of a very early stage in development" - Like "Old English." Not applicable to a general store.

8. "Just preceding something else in time or order" - Like "previous owner." This is about sequence, not about the age of the building.

The best fit is sense 2: "of long duration; not new" - the general store is described as "old" meaning it's an aged/long-established building, not a new one. This is the most natural reading in this context.

The context describes earthquake tremors moving through the house ("The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals"). This refers to the physical shaky motions of the earth/house during seismic activity, which matches sense 2: "a shaky motion" with synonyms including shaking, trembling, and vibration. The passage clearly describes the movement of tremors through the speaker's home during what appears to be an earthquake event in Bolinas.

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

The context mentions:
- "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals"
- This is in the context of earthquakes (mentioned indirectly - "No power, minimal phones" - this is discussing the aftermath of what appears to be an earthquake in Bolinas)
- The speaker mentions being "just numb" and describes physical disturbances
- There's a mouse that is "clearly pretty distressed"

The four senses are:
1. An almost pleasurable sensation of fright (frisson, shiver, chill, shudder, thrill, tingle) - examples: "a frisson of surprise shot through him"
2. A shaky motion (shaking, shakiness, trembling, quivering, vibration, palpitation) - examples: "the shaking of his fingers as he lit his pipe"
3. Case for holding arrows
4. The act of vibrating (vibration, quivering)

Given the context of an earthquake with "quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals," this is clearly referring to earthquake tremors or trembling movements of the earth/house.

Senses 2 and 4 are both related to shaking/vibration:
- Sense 2: "a shaky motion" with synonyms including "shaking, shakiness, trembling, quivering, vibration"
- Sense 4: "the act of vibrating" with synonyms "vibration, quivering"

The key difference is that sense 2 is a noun describing the physical shaking/motion itself, while sense 4 is more about the process/act. In the context "The quivers move through my house," we're talking about the tremors/shaking motions themselves moving through the house.

Sense 2 "a shaky motion" seems to be the best fit - it's describing the actual tremors (shaky motions) that move through the house.
Sense 1 doesn't work here since it's metaphorical and doesn't align with physical tremors moving through a space, and sense 3 is obviously irrelevant. So sense 2 is the answer.

The context clearly refers to the author's personal dwelling where they live. The mention of "my kitchen" and the quivers (earthquake aftershocks) moving through the physical space of their residence makes it evident that "house" refers to a home serving as living quarters. This directly matches sense 1's definition.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense of "house" in this sentence:

"The quivers move through my <t>house</t> every few minutes at unpredictable intervals, and the mouse that's been living in my kitchen has taken refuge under my desk."

The context is:
- It's describing a personal dwelling after what appears to be an earthquake (given the reference to "quivers")
- The author mentions "my kitchen" which is inside the house
- The author is describing the interior space where they live
- The author mentions the mouse that's been living in their kitchen taking refuge

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families" - This fits perfectly. The author is describing their personal residence, mentioning the kitchen and quivers moving through it.

2. "the members of a business organization" - Doesn't fit, this is clearly personal.

3. "the members of a religious community living together" - Doesn't fit.

4. "the audience gathered together in a theatre or cinema" - Doesn't fit.

5. "an official assembly having legislative powers" - Doesn't fit.

6. "aristocratic family line" - Doesn't fit.

7. "play in which children take the roles of father or mother" - Doesn't fit.

8. "(astrology) one of 12 equal areas into which the zodiac is divided" - Doesn't fit.

9. "the management of a gambling house or casino" - Doesn't fit.

10. "a social unit living together" - This could work, but it's more about the family/household as a social unit rather than the physical dwelling.

11. "a building where theatrical performances or motion-picture shows can be presented" - Doesn't fit.
12. "a building in which something is sheltered or located" - Too vague for this context. The first sense is clearly the intended meaning—the author is referring to their personal residence where they experience the tremors and where the mouse has sought shelter.

The context "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals" uses "minutes" to denote a measurable unit of time (60 seconds each). The speaker is describing that earthquake aftershocks occur at intervals of multiple minutes, which is the standard temporal unit sense, not an indefinite period or other meanings.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "minutes" in this sentence:

"The quivers move through my house every few <t>minutes</t> at unpredictable intervals, and the mouse that's been living in my kitchen has taken refuge under my desk."

The context is describing earthquake aftershocks (quivers) that occur repeatedly "every few minutes."

Let me consider each sense:

1. Sense 1: "a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour" - This is the standard unit of time, 60 seconds.

2. Sense 2: "an indefinitely short time" - This refers to a moment or short period, not a specific unit.

3. Sense 3: "a particular point in time" - This is about a specific moment in time, not a duration.

4. Sense 4: "a unit of angular distance equal to a 60th of a degree" - This is about angles/angles, not relevant.

5. Sense 5: "a short note" or "keeps the minutes of the meeting" - This is about meeting notes, not relevant.

6. Sense 6: "distance measured by the time taken to cover it" - This refers to a distance measured in time (like "5 minutes away"), not relevant to the context.

In the sentence "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals," the word "minutes" refers to a specific unit of time - a duration of 60 seconds each. The phrase "every few minutes" indicates that the quivers occur at intervals of multiple 60-second units.

This clearly corresponds to Sense 1, which defines a minute as "a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour."

The answer should be 1.

The context describes earthquake tremors ("quivers") occurring at variable, irregular intervals. The phrase "unpredictable intervals" specifically emphasizes the erratic timing and frequency of these tremors, not the general inability to foresee them. This matches sense 3's definition of "not occurring at expected times" with the synonym "irregular," which captures the sporadic, inconsistent pattern of the earthquake quivers rather than simply their unforeseeable nature.

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

The sentence is: "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals."

The context describes earthquakes causing tremors/quivers ("the quivers move through my house"). The writer is noting that these tremors occur at unpredictable intervals.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. **sense_key=unpredictable%3:00:00:: | definition=not capable of being foretold**
   - This is a general definition meaning something cannot be predicted or foreseen

2. **sense_key=unpredictable%5:00:00:indeterminable:00 | definition=unknown in advance | examples=an unpredictable (or indeterminable) future**
   - This emphasizes something that is unknown in advance, with emphasis on the future being uncertain

3. **sense_key=unpredictable%5:00:00:sporadic:00 | definition=not occurring at expected times | synonyms=irregular**
   - This specifically means occurring at irregular intervals, sporadic pattern, not at expected times

In context, "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals" is describing the timing/pattern of earthquake tremors. The writer is saying these tremors happen irregularly - sometimes more frequently, sometimes less frequently, without a regular pattern. This is less about whether the future event can be known in advance (sense 2) and more specifically about the timing being irregular/sporadic (sense 3).

Sense 3 is the most precise fit because:
- "intervals" directly relates to timing/frequency
- The definition "not occurring at expected times" and synonym "irregular" perfectly match the context of earthquake tremors happening at variable intervals
- This is more specific than the general "not capable of being foretold" in sense 1

The answer is sense 3.

The context describes quivers (earthquake tremors) that occur "every few minutes at unpredictable intervals." This clearly refers to the time periods or gaps between successive tremors. The phrase "every few minutes" and the description of the quivers happening periodically indicates a temporal meaning. Sense 1, "a definite length of time marked off by two instants," with the synonym "time interval," is the correct interpretation.

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

The sentence is: "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable <t>intervals</t>, and the mouse that's been living in my kitchen has taken refuge under my desk."

The context describes earthquakes/tremors ("quivers") that happen "every few minutes at unpredictable intervals." This is clearly referring to the timing or time period between occurrences of the quivers.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a definite length of time marked off by two instants" - This refers to a length of time. In the context, "intervals" refers to the time periods or gaps between the earthquake tremors. This makes perfect sense. The quivers happen at unpredictable intervals = they happen with unpredictable time gaps between them.

2. "a set containing all points between two given endpoints" - This is a mathematical definition about sets of points or real numbers. Not relevant to the context about timing of earthquakes.

3. "the distance between things" - This refers to physical separation/distance. While you could theoretically say there are spatial intervals, the context is clearly about time intervals (every few minutes).

4. "the difference in pitch between two notes" - This is about music. Not relevant.

The best sense is clearly sense 1, which refers to a "definite length of time marked off by two instants." The synonyms "time interval" also strongly support this. In the context, "intervals" refers to the time periods between the earthquake quivers.
