reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage describes a scene where "the stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

Key contextual clues:
1. "cross the street against the light" - this suggests the physical act of crossing
2. "a huge moving van roared through the intersection" - this indicates a vehicle traveling
3. "the part of a thoroughfare on which vehicles travel" - this is what the stranger would be crossing

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a thoroughfare (usually including sidewalks) that is lined with buildings" - This is a general definition of a street as a whole road including sidewalks
2. "the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel" - This specifically refers to the roadway where vehicles travel, which is exactly what someone would cross and where a moving van would be
3. "the streets of a city viewed as a depressed environment" - This doesn't fit the context at all
4. "a situation offering opportunities" - Metaphorical use, doesn't fit
5. "people living or working on the same street" - Doesn't fit the context

The context is clearly about physically crossing a street where vehicles travel. The moving van is roaring through the intersection on the street. The stranger is crossing against the light (crossing the vehicular part of the street).

Sense 2 is the best fit because it specifically refers to "the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel" which is exactly what's being described in the context - the area where the moving van is traveling and where the stranger is attempting to cross.

The context describes a traffic situation where a stranger "started to cross the street against the light." This refers to a traffic light—a visual warning signal used to control pedestrian and vehicle movement at intersections. This matches sense 14's definition: "a visual warning signal," with an example mentioning "a light at every corner," which directly parallels traffic lights at street intersections.

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

Context: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the <t>light</t> just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

In this context, "the light" refers to a traffic light - a visual warning signal that indicates when it's safe to cross the street. The phrase "against the light" means crossing the street when the traffic light is red (not in the pedestrian's favor).

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. Electromagnetic radiation - not relevant here
2. Device serving as a source of illumination - too general
3. A particular perspective/aspect - not relevant
4. Quality of being luminous - not relevant
5. An illuminated area - not relevant
6. Spiritual awareness - not relevant
7. Visual effect of illumination in pictures - not relevant
8. A person regarded fondly - not relevant
9. Having abundant light/illumination - not relevant
10. Mental understanding - not relevant
11. Merriment/brightness - not relevant
12. Public awareness - not relevant
13. Divine presence (Quakers) - not relevant
14. A visual warning signal - THIS IS IT! "they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner"
15. Device for lighting fuel/fires - not relevant

Sense 14 definition: "a visual warning signal" with examples "they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner"

This perfectly matches the context where the stranger crosses the street "against the light" - referring to a traffic signal/traffic light.

The answer is sense index 14.

The context describes a "huge moving van roared through the intersection," which refers to the loud mechanical sound produced by the vehicle as it moves rapidly. This directly matches sense 1's definition of "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles," which explicitly mentions vehicles and describes the type of loud noise characteristic of transportation. The example in sense 1 about water roaring and wind howling shows it applies to loud environmental/mechanical sounds, not animal cries (sense 5), speech (sense 2), or laughter (sense 6).

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

The sentence is: "But, of course, he remembered now. It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van <t>roared</t> through the intersection."

The context tells us that a "huge moving van roared through the intersection." This is describing the sound made by the moving van as it drives rapidly through the intersection.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles" - This fits! A moving van making noise as it passes through an intersection. The example mentions "vehicles" and talks about water roaring down a chute, wind howling. This is about loud mechanical/environmental sounds.

2. "utter words loudly and forcefully" - This doesn't fit because the moving van is not uttering words. The example is someone saying something loudly.

3. "emit long loud cries" - This is about animals or people making vocal cries, like wailing or howling with emotion. A moving van doesn't emit cries.

4. "act or proceed in a riotous, turbulent, or disorderly way" - This is about proceeding in a chaotic way, which could fit the image of a van rushing through an intersection, but it's not the primary meaning for a vehicle making a sound.

5. "make a loud noise, as of animal" - This is about animals making loud noises, with the example of a bull bellowing. A moving van is not an animal.

6. "laugh unrestrainedly and heartily" - This doesn't fit at all.

The best fit is sense 1: "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles" - This specifically mentions vehicles and describes the loud noise made by a moving van passing through an intersection.
Sense 1 is the correct answer.

The context describes a street scenario where a stranger is crossing against a traffic light and a moving van is driving through. The word "intersection" refers to the junction where one street or road crosses another, which is the standard usage in traffic and urban contexts. This matches sense 2: "a junction where one street or road crosses another" with synonyms like crossroad and crossing.

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

In the sentence: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the <t>intersection</t>."

The context is:
- A person is crossing a street
- A moving van is going through the intersection
- There's traffic (brakes, horn)
- This is clearly a street/road scenario

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a point where lines intersect" - This is a geometric/mathematical definition, not applicable here since we're talking about an actual street crossing.

2. "a junction where one street or road crosses another" - This perfectly fits the context. The stranger is crossing a street at a junction with traffic (moving van).

3. "a point or set of points common to two or more geometric configurations" - This is too abstract/mathematical.

4. "the set of elements common to two or more sets" - This is a set theory definition, not applicable.

5. "a representation of common ground between theories or phenomena" - This is too abstract and doesn't fit the context.

6. "the act of intersecting (as joining by causing your path to intersect your target's path)" - This refers to the action, but in context we're talking about a place, not an action.

The best match is sense 2: "a junction where one street or road crosses another" with synonyms like "crossroad, crossway, crossing, carrefour". This is clearly what the text is referring to - a street intersection where the moving van roared through.

Sense 2 is the correct answer.

The context describes a vehicle emergency at an intersection where "Brakes howled" - this refers to the physical restraint device on the moving van that is activated to slow or stop the vehicle. This is the literal, concrete sense of the word in the situation described.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "Brakes" in this passage.

From the context:
"The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. <t>Brakes</t> howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

The passage describes a dangerous situation at an intersection with a moving van. The brakes "howled" - this is a description of the sound made by vehicle brakes when being applied suddenly.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "a restraint used to slow or stop a vehicle" - This is the physical device on a vehicle that slows or stops it. This fits perfectly with the context since it's a moving van that needs to brake suddenly.

2. "any of various ferns of the genus Pteris..." - This is clearly not related to the context.

3. "large coarse fern often several feet high..." - Also about ferns, not relevant to a vehicle/intersection scenario.

4. "an area thickly overgrown usually with one kind of plant" - This is about vegetation, not relevant to the context.

5. "anything that slows or hinders a process" - This is a figurative/metaphorical sense, but the context is literal - actual vehicle brakes.

The context clearly shows this is about vehicle brakes in a real emergency situation at an intersection. Sense 1 ("a restraint used to slow or stop a vehicle") is the most accurate and literal interpretation of "Brakes" in this context.

The answer is sense 1.

The brakes in a vehicle produce a loud screeching or squealing sound when suddenly applied. This matches sense 3, "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles," which specifically includes vehicles and describes non-vocal mechanical sounds. The definition and examples ("The wind was howling in the trees") clearly indicate this sense is about loud noises from inanimate objects or natural forces, not emotional vocalizations or animal cries.

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

Context: "Brakes <t>howled</t> and a horn blared furiously"

The target word is "howled" and it's describing what the brakes did. Brakes are mechanical parts of vehicles that produce loud screeching or squealing sounds when they are applied suddenly or forcefully.

Let me look at each candidate sense:

1. "emit long loud cries" - This is about vocal/emotional outcries like wailing or roaring with emotion. This doesn't fit brakes making noise.

2. "cry loudly, as of animals" - This is about animals making loud vocalizations (like coyotes howling). Brakes are not animals.

3. "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles" - This fits perfectly! The definition specifically mentions "vehicles" and the example includes "The water roared down the chute" showing non-vocal loud noises. Brakes on a vehicle making a loud screeching sound would fit this sense.

4. "laugh unrestrainedly and heartily" - This is about laughing, which doesn't apply to brakes.

The best answer is sense 3 (sense_key=howl%2:32:01::), which specifically includes vehicles in its definition and is about making loud mechanical noises, not vocal cries. This is the only sense that logically applies to brakes making noise.

The context describes a vehicle in an intersection with its horn making a warning noise to alert a pedestrian. The phrase "a horn blared furiously" refers to the physical device on the automobile that produces the warning sound—specifically the automobile horn used to warn other drivers or pedestrians of danger.

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

The context describes a scenario where:
- A stranger is about to cross the street against the light
- A huge moving van is coming through the intersection
- "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously"

This is describing a warning noise made by the driver of the vehicle to alert the pedestrian.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. A noisemaker (as at parties) - No, this is not a party or game context
2. Bony outgrowths on animal heads - No, not about animals
3. A noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning - YES, this matches! The horn is "blaring furiously" as a warning to the pedestrian
4. A high pommel of a Western saddle - No, not about saddles
5. A brass musical instrument (trumpet-like) - No, not a musical context
6. Hard protuberance similar to horn - No, too vague and not relevant
7. The material (keratin) - No, this is about the material, not the object
8. A device having the shape of a horn - No, not just about shape
9. An alarm device making warning sound - This could work, but...
10. A brass musical instrument (French horn) - No, not musical context
11. A device on an automobile for making warning noise - YES, this also fits!

Between senses 3 and 11:
- Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
- Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"

The sentence says "a horn blared furiously" - this is talking about the physical device or the sound it makes. Sense 11 is more specific to automobiles and talks about the device itself, while sense 3 refers to the noise/sound.
The distinction comes down to whether "horn" refers to the device producing the sound or the sound itself. Since the verb "blared" can apply to either—a device blaring or a sound blaring—both interpretations work. However, sense 11 captures the automotive context more precisely as the physical mechanism, making it the stronger choice.

The context describes a car horn sounding in response to an emergency situation ("a horn blared furiously"). Sense 2 is the best fit because:

1. The definition "make a loud noise" directly matches the scenario
2. The synonyms (honk, beep, claxon, toot) are all typical car horn sounds
3. The example "The horns of the taxis blared" parallels the sentence structure and context exactly

Sense 1 focuses on a "strident sound" with examples of speaking into a microphone, which is less appropriate for describing a car horn in this accident-prevention context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "blared."

The sentence is: "Brakes howled and a horn <t>blared</t> furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

The context is about a car horn making a loud noise in response to the stranger almost walking into a moving van.

Let's look at the two senses:

1. sense_key=blare%2:39:01:: | definition=make a strident sound | synonyms=blast | examples=She tended to blast when speaking into a microphone
   - "strident" means high-pitched and harsh
   - The example is about speaking into a microphone
   - This seems more focused on a harsh, piercing quality of sound

2. sense_key=blare%2:39:00:: | definition=make a loud noise | synonyms=honk, beep, claxon, toot | examples=The horns of the taxis blared
   - "loud noise" is more general
   - The synonyms include "honk" which is specifically what a car horn does
   - The example is directly about horn blaring, which matches our context

In the context, we have "a horn blared furiously." This is clearly describing a car horn making its characteristic sound. The synonyms in sense 2 (honk, beep, claxon, toot) are all typical car horn sounds. The example in sense 2 also explicitly mentions "horns of the taxis blared," which directly parallels our sentence.

Sense 1 is about making a "strident sound" with examples about speaking into a microphone. While a horn could be strident, the definition and examples seem more focused on harsh, high-pitched sounds in general.

The best fit is sense 2 (sense_key=blare%2:39:00::), which is indexed as sense 2.

The passage refers to "the man" as a specific adult male person (the stranger) who is about to be hit by a van. This is a straightforward reference to an individual adult male human, which corresponds to the basic definition in sense 1: "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)." There are no contextual clues suggesting military service (sense 2), a generic reference to humanity (sense 3 or 4), a subordinate role (sense 5), or any other specialized meaning.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "man" in this passage.

The context describes a situation where "the man" (the stranger) is about to be hit by a moving van if Phil hadn't called out to him. The passage is talking about an adult male person in a specific situation.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=man%1:18:00:: - "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)" - This is the basic definition of a male adult human.

2. sense_key=man%1:18:03:: - "someone who serves in the armed forces" - There's no indication this man is in the armed forces.

3. sense_key=man%1:18:04:: - "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - This is a generic/universal reference.

4. sense_key=man%1:05:01:: - "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae" - This is too scientific/taxonomic.

5. sense_key=man%1:18:08:: - "a male subordinate" - There's no indication of a subordinate relationship here.

6. sense_key=man%1:18:06:: - "an adult male person who has a manly character (virile and courageous competent)" - Not specifically highlighted in the context.

7. sense_key=man%1:18:05:: - "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - No indication of this.

8. sense_key=man%1:18:07:: - "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - Not relevant here.

9. sense_key=man%1:15:00:: - "Isle of Man" - Not relevant.

10. sense_key=man%1:06:00:: - "game equipment" - Not relevant.
11. sense_key=man%1:05:00:: - "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - Too broad and generic for this specific reference.

The passage simply identifies a particular adult male in a dangerous moment. The most direct interpretation is sense 1, which captures the straightforward reference to a male adult human without additional connotations. The answer is sense index 1.

The context describes a dangerous situation where a moving van is roaring through an intersection, and the man would have been struck by the van if Phil hadn't warned him. The word "hit" here refers to the van coming into sudden contact with the man's body - making an impact or collision. This directly matches sense 2: "hit against; come into sudden contact with," which includes the synonyms "strike, collide with" and examples like "The car hit a tree."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "hit" in this passage.

The context is: "the man would have been <t>hit</t> if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before"

This is describing a situation where a moving van is roaring through an intersection and the man was about to cross the street. The moving van would have hit the man - meaning the van would have struck the man, making contact with him.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "cause to move by striking" (hit a ball) - not quite right, the focus is on the contact itself
2. "hit against; come into sudden contact with" - THIS SEEMS RIGHT. The van would come into sudden contact with the man. Examples: "The car hit a tree; He struck the table with his elbow"
3. "deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument" - this is more about intentional striking with a blow
4. "reach a destination" - not relevant
5. "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" - this could work, being hit by the van would be adverse
6. "hit with a missile from a weapon" - not relevant
7. "encounter by chance" - not quite right
8. "gain points in a game" - not relevant
9. "cause to experience suddenly" - not really
10. "make a strategic, offensive assault against an enemy" - not relevant
11. "kill intentionally and with premeditation" - not quite, the van hitting would be accidental
12. "drive something violently into a location" - not quite right
13. "reach a point in time" - not relevant
14. "produce by manipulating keys" - not relevant
15. "consume to excess" - not relevant
16. "hit the intended target or goal" - could work
17. "pay unsolicited sexual attention" - not relevant

Sense 2 is the best fit: "hit against; come into sudden contact with" - The van would have made sudden contact with the man. This is the most natural interpretation of the sentence.
The answer is sense 2.

The context describes Phil shouting a warning to prevent the man from being hit by the moving van. This is consistent with sense 1 (utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy), which emphasizes vocalization with emotional intensity. The synonyms "cry," "cry out," and "shout" all match Phil's involuntary warning shout. Sense 2 refers to calling out names or numbers in sequence, and sense 3 refers to issuing a challenge to duel, neither of which applies here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for "called out" in this sentence:

"...if Phil hadn't <t>called out</t> to him a second before."

The context shows that Phil is warning the man about the moving van. The man was about to cross the street against the light and would have been hit, but Phil yelled/shouted a warning to alert him.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=call_out%2:32:01:: | definition=utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy | synonyms=exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, shout | examples=`I won!' he exclaimed; `Help!' she cried
   - This sense refers to uttering something aloud, often with emotion. The example "'Help!' she cried" fits well with someone calling out as a warning/alert.

2. sense_key=call_out%2:32:00:: | definition=call out loudly, as of names or numbers
   - This would be calling out like at roll call or announcing names/numbers.

3. sense_key=call_out%2:32:12:: | definition=challenge to a duel | examples=Aaron Burr called out Alexander Hamilton
   - This is about challenging someone to a duel, which doesn't fit.

In the context, Phil is uttering a warning aloud to save the man from being hit. This is an involuntary shout of warning. This fits sense 1 best - uttering something aloud with emotion (in this case, urgency/warning). The synonyms "cry," "cry out," and "shout" all fit what Phil did.

Sense 2 might seem possible since it's about calling out loudly, but it's more about announcing/calling out names or numbers in a systematic way (like roll call), not shouting a warning.

The answer should be sense 1.

The phrase "a second before" in the context refers to an indefinitely short duration of time—just moments before the accident would have occurred. Sense 2 captures this meaning perfectly, defined as "an indefinitely short time" with synonyms like "moment" and examples like "wait just a moment." While sense 1 provides the technical definition of a unit of time, the context uses "second" idiomatically to mean a brief, unspecified duration rather than a precise temporal measurement.

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

"...but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a <t>second</t> before."

The phrase is "a second before" - meaning a very short amount of time before the accident would have happened.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. 1/60 of a minute (technical definition)
2. An indefinitely short time - "wait just a moment; in a mo"
3. Baseball position
4. A particular point in time - "the moment he arrived"
5. Following the first in ordering
6. 60th part of a minute of arc (angular measurement)
7. Attendant in a duel/boxing match
8. Speech seconding a motion
9. Second gear in a car
10. Merchandise with imperfections

In the context "a second before," this is referring to a very short duration of time. The key phrase is "a second" meaning just before something happened.

Sense 2 says "an indefinitely short time" with synonyms "moment, mo, minute, bit" and examples like "wait just a moment; in a mo". This perfectly matches the usage "a second before" meaning a very short time before the event.

Sense 1 is the technical definition (1/60 of a minute), but while technically a second is 1/60 of a minute, the usage here is more colloquial, referring to an indefinite short time.

Sense 4 is "a particular point in time" which could work, but sense 2 is more specifically about an indefinitely short duration.

The best match is sense 2 - "an indefinitely short time"

Let me analyze the context where "done" appears in the sentence:

"His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have <t>done</t> without thinking, on the spur of the moment."

Here, "done" is used in the sense of performing an action. The context is that Phil made an involuntary shout to warn the stranger, and the speaker is saying that this is "something anybody might have done" - meaning performed/carried out/executed.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "engage in" - synonyms: make. Examples: "make love, not war; make an effort" - This could work, but "engage in" doesn't quite fit the context as well.

2. "carry out or perform an action" - synonyms: perform, execute. Examples: "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters; the skater executed a triple pirouette" - This fits perfectly! The sentence says "something anybody might have done" which means performed/carried out the action of shouting.

3. "get (something) done" - This could work but it's more about completing something, and here it's just about the action of shouting.

4. "proceed or get along" - This doesn't fit.

5. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" - This is about causing something, not performing it.

6. "carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions" - This is specific to jobs/professions, doesn't fit.

7. "be sufficient; be adequate" - Doesn't fit.

8. "create or design" - Doesn't fit.

9. "behave in a certain manner; conduct oneself" - This could work, but it's more about general behavior rather than a specific action.

10. "spend time in prison" - Doesn't fit.

11. "carry on or function" - Doesn't fit.
12. "arrange attractively" - Doesn't fit.

13. "travel or traverse" - Doesn't fit.

Sense 2 is the clear match here—"carry out or perform an action" with perform and execute as synonyms directly captures what the text conveys about the involuntary shout being something anyone could have executed in that moment.

The phrase "he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit" uses "cared" to mean "felt concern or interest." The speaker is expressing indifference—that he would not have been concerned about whether the stranger was struck by the truck. This directly corresponds to sense 1: "feel concern or interest."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the sentence where "cared" appears:

"As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit."

The person (Phil) saved someone's life by warning them about an oncoming truck. But then the sentence says he "wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit" - meaning he wouldn't have been concerned or bothered if the stranger had been hit by the truck.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "feel concern or interest" - This fits the context. "He wouldn't have cared" = "He wouldn't have felt concern" about the man being hit. This is saying he was indifferent/didn't care about the outcome.

2. "provide care for" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about providing medical care or looking after someone.

3. "prefer or wish to do something" - This could potentially fit in the sense of "wouldn't care to" meaning "wouldn't want to," but the structure here is "wouldn't have cared at all if" which is more about not being concerned rather than not wanting something specific.

4. "be in charge of, act on, or dispose of" - This doesn't fit at all. The sentence isn't about managing or handling something.

5. "be concerned with" / "worry" - This is essentially similar to sense 1, about feeling concern or worry.

The best fit is sense 1: "feel concern or interest." The phrase "he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit" means he wouldn't have felt concern or interest about whether the man was hit or not. It's expressing indifference.

Sense 5 is also very similar (worry/be concerned), but sense 1 is more directly about the feeling of concern/interest which matches the context better.

The word "guy" in this context clearly refers to the stranger who nearly got hit by the truck. It's used as an informal term for a man/person, which directly matches sense 1. The other senses (a Guy Fawkes effigy and a bracing cable) are entirely inconsistent with the narrative context of referring to a human individual.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "guy".

Context: The passage talks about a man that Phil calls out to before he gets hit by a truck. The passage refers to this person as "the guy" - "he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit."

Candidate senses:
1. An informal term for a youth or man (synonyms: cat, hombre, bozo; examples: "a nice guy", "the guy's only doing it for some doll")
2. An effigy of Guy Fawkes that is burned on a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day
3. A cable, wire, or rope that is used to brace something (especially a tent)

Looking at the context:
- "the guy" clearly refers to a person (the stranger who was about to cross the street)
- It's used informally to refer to a man/person
- This matches sense 1 perfectly

Sense 2 (Guy Fawkes effigy) doesn't fit at all - there's no reference to burning effigies or Guy Fawkes Day.

Sense 3 (cable/rope) doesn't fit - "guy" is not being used to refer to a cable or rope in this context.

The clear answer is sense 1 - "guy" is being used as an informal term for a man/person in the narrative.

The context describes a man who nearly gets struck by a moving van at an intersection. The phrase "would have been hit" refers to the van coming into sudden contact with the man's body. This matches sense 2 ("hit against; come into sudden contact with"), which has synonyms like "strike," "run into," and "collide with" that perfectly capture the scenario of a vehicle striking a person.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage is about a man who is crossing the street against the light, and a huge moving van is coming through the intersection. The text says "the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

So we're looking for the sense of "hit" that means to be struck by the moving van. The man would have been struck by a vehicle.

Let me go through the senses:

1. cause to move by striking - not quite right, this is about the result (moving), not the collision itself
2. hit against; come into sudden contact with - This seems perfect. The van would come into sudden contact with the man. Synonyms include "strike, impinge on, run into, collide with" - and in this context, the van would "run into" the man.
3. deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument - This is more about intentional strikes with hands or instruments
4. reach a destination - not relevant
5. affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely - This could work, but it's more abstract
6. hit with a missile from a weapon - not relevant
7. encounter by chance - not quite right
8. gain points in a game - not relevant
9. cause to experience suddenly - not relevant
10. make a strategic, offensive, assault against an enemy - not relevant
11. kill intentionally - not relevant
12. drive something violently into a location - not quite right
13. reach a point in time - not relevant
14. produce by manipulating keys - not relevant
15. consume to excess - not relevant
16. hit the intended target or goal - not quite right
17. pay unwanted sexual attention - not relevant

The best fit is sense 2: "hit against; come into sudden contact with" - because the man would have been struck/come into contact with the moving van. The synonyms "run into, collide with" perfectly fit the scenario.

The context shows Phil regrets his action (opening his mouth/shouting) because of the unwanted consequences that followed—the angry driver's confrontation. He wasn't truly sorry for the humanitarian act itself (he "wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit"), but rather he feels sorry/remorseful that he did something he now wishes he hadn't done. This matches sense 1: "feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about," which captures the meaning of wishing one hadn't performed a particular action due to its consequences.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for "regretted" in this passage.

From the context:
- Phil shouted involuntarily to warn a stranger about an oncoming truck
- Phil himself didn't care if the guy had been hit
- However, he regretted having opened his mouth
- The reason he regretted it was because the truck came to a stop and the angry driver confronted them
- The stranger is now profusely thanking him and acting like they're old friends

So Phil regretted shouting because it got him into an awkward/unwanted situation with the angry driver and the overly grateful stranger.

Now let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about" - This would suggest Phil feels morally wrong or guilty about his action. But the text suggests he doesn't care if the guy had been hit, so it's not about feeling sorry for the stranger or feeling guilty about potentially letting him die.

2. "feel sad about the loss or absence of" - This doesn't fit. He's not sad about loss or absence.

3. "decline formally or politely" - This doesn't fit at all. This is about refusing something.

4. "express with regret" - This also doesn't fit the usage here.

Looking back at the passage: "Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

Phil regrets opening his mouth because of the consequences - the confrontation with the angry driver. It's about wishing he hadn't done it because of the negative consequences that followed.

Sense 1 (feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about) fits best here. He regrets the action itself - opening his mouth - because of what it led to. This is about feeling sorry he did it, even though it wasn't necessarily a moral issue, but rather a consequence he didn't want.
The core meaning here is that Phil is sorry he spoke up—he wishes he hadn't done it given the unpleasant situation that resulted. This aligns with sense 1, which captures the feeling of wishing you hadn't taken a particular action.

The phrase "opened his mouth" is being used literally to mean the physical action of opening one's mouth (which enabled him to speak/shout). Sense 1 captures this meaning: "cause to open or to become open," as exemplified by "Mary opened the car door." While the regret stems from the consequences of speaking, the actual verb refers to the physical action of opening his mouth.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "opened" in the phrase "he regretted having opened his mouth."

Let me analyze the context:
- Phil involuntarily shouted to warn a stranger
- He regrets having "opened his mouth" (speaking/shouting)
- The truck came to a stop due to his shout
- The stranger thanked him

The phrase "opened his mouth" is an idiomatic expression meaning "spoke" or "said something." The context makes it clear that Phil regrets speaking/shouting out.

Looking at the senses:

1. cause to open or to become open - "Mary opened the car door" - This is about physically opening doors/objects
2. start to operate or function - "open a business" - This is about starting operations
3. become open - "The door opened" - Physical opening
4. begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc. - "He opened the meeting with a long speech" - This is about initiating something
5. spread out or open from a closed or folded state - unfold, spread
6. make available - "This opens up new possibilities" - Making available
7. become available - "an opportunity opened up"
8. have an opening or passage or outlet - "The bedrooms open into the hall"
9. make the opening move - chess context
10. afford access to - "the door opens to the patio"
11. display/start an application on computer

The phrase "opened his mouth" in "he regretted having opened his mouth" is idiomatic and refers to speaking. Looking at sense 4 "begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc." with the example "He opened the meeting with a long speech" - this seems closest as it deals with "opening" in the context of initiating or beginning something with one's mouth/speech.

However, sense 1 could also work if we're thinking of "opening" one's mouth as a physical action, though the regret is more about the speech itself, not the physical action.
Sense 4 appears most fitting since the idiom involves initiating speech, paralleling how one "opens" a meeting by beginning to speak. While sense 1 captures the literal physical act of parting one's lips, the regret centers on the utterance itself rather than the mechanical action.

The phrase "opened his mouth" is an idiomatic expression referring to speaking or saying something. In context, Phil regrets having spoken (shouted to warn the stranger), which has now brought the angry truck driver toward them. Sense 1 is the most appropriate because it explicitly includes "vocalizations emerge" as part of the definition—capturing the sense of the mouth as the opening through which speech is produced.

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

The sentence is: "Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

The phrase "opened his mouth" is an idiomatic expression referring to speaking or saying something. In this context, Phil regrets having called out/shouted to warn the stranger about the truck, because now the angry driver is coming toward them.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=mouth%1:08:01:: - "the opening through which food is taken in and vocalizations emerge" - This is the anatomical opening used for eating and speaking.

2. sense_key=mouth%1:08:00:: - "the externally visible part of the oral cavity on the face and the system of organs surrounding the opening" - This is the external/visible mouth.

3. sense_key=mouth%1:17:01:: - "an opening that resembles a mouth (as of a cave or a gorge)" - Not applicable here.

4. sense_key=mouth%1:17:00:: - "the point where a stream issues into a larger body of water" - Not applicable here.

5. sense_key=mouth%1:18:00:: - "a person conceived as a consumer of food" - Not applicable here.

6. sense_key=mouth%1:18:01:: - "a spokesperson (as a lawyer)" - Not really applicable here.

7. sense_key=mouth%1:10:00:: - "an impudent or insolent rejoinder" - Not applicable here.

8. sense_key=mouth%1:06:00:: - "the opening of a jar or bottle" - Not applicable here.

The phrase "opened his mouth" refers to speaking/vocalizing. This involves the mouth as the opening through which vocalizations emerge. Sense 1 explicitly mentions "vocalizations emerge" alongside eating.

Since the idiom centers on the act of speaking, sense 1 captures this meaning most accurately—the mouth as the channel through which speech emerges. The answer is sense index 1.

The context clearly indicates a large automotive vehicle: it's described as a "huge moving van," has a cab with a driver who "jumped down," makes a horn blast, and produces loud braking sounds. These details match sense 1 (an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling), not sense 2 (a small handcart).

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

The passage describes a scene where:
- A stranger is about to be hit by a "huge moving van" that "roared through the intersection"
- The context mentions "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously"
- The passage refers to "the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them"

Key clues:
1. "huge moving van" - this is described earlier as a vehicle that can cause serious injury/death
2. "Brakes howled" - a large vehicle's brakes
3. "angry driver jumped down from the cab" - vehicles with cabs are large vehicles
4. The truck "roared through the intersection" - suggesting a large, noisy vehicle

Now looking at the candidate senses:
1. truck%1:06:00:: - "an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling" with synonym "motortruck" - This is a large automotive vehicle
2. truck%1:06:01:: - "a handcart that has a frame with two low wheels and a ledge at the bottom" - This is a small hand-operated cart

Given the context of a "huge moving van" that could hit someone, roars through an intersection, has a cab with a driver who can jump down from it, and brakes loudly - this is clearly a large automotive vehicle (sense 1), not a small handcart (sense 2).

The answer is sense 1.

Context:
It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a <t>stop</t> and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend.

The context describes the truck "came to a <t>stop</t>" - referring to the event or moment when the truck halted/ended its motion. This matches sense 1 ("the event of something ending") with its example "it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill" being nearly identical to the target sentence.

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

"Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a <t>stop</t> and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

The sentence is describing the truck coming to a stop - meaning the truck halted or ceased moving. This is about the event or state of the truck stopping.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=stop%1:11:00:: - "the event of something ending" - synonyms: halt - example: "it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill" - This matches perfectly! The truck coming to a stop means it came to an end/halted.

2. sense_key=stop%1:04:00:: - "the act of stopping something" - This would be about the action of stopping (like the brakes stopping the truck), not the state of the truck being stopped.

3. sense_key=stop%1:04:02:: - "a brief stay in the course of a journey" - This is about a planned stop during travel, not applicable here.

4. sense_key=stop%1:26:00:: - "the state of inactivity following an interruption" - This is close, but more about a pause in an ongoing process.

5. sense_key=stop%1:15:00:: - "a spot where something halts or pauses" - This is about a location, not the event itself.

The best match is sense 1 (stop%1:11:00::), which represents "the event of something ending" with the example "it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill" - almost identical to our context where "the truck came to a stop."

The answer should be index 1.
