The context describes Pete as "the small but wiry man" - a specific adult male individual in the narrative. This is the straightforward reference to an adult male person, fitting sense 1 ("an adult person who is male"). There is no indication of military service (sense 2), subordinate status (sense 5), special character traits (sense 6), servant role (sense 7), or romantic relationship (sense 8).

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

The context describes: "the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently"

This is referring to a specific individual person - Pete, who was just introduced as a "stranger" and is described as "small but wiry". He's being referred to as "a man" in the sense of an adult male person.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)" - This is the basic definition of an adult male person. The context fits: Pete is described as "the small but wiry man" referring to an adult male.

2. "someone who serves in the armed forces" - There's no indication Pete is in the military.

3. "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - This is a generic/universal use, not applicable here since we're talking about a specific individual.

4. "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae" - Too broad/technical, this is the biological definition.

5. "a male subordinate" - There's no indication of a subordinate relationship here.

6. "an adult male person who has a manly character" - While Pete might be described as having some characteristics, the context doesn't emphasize manly character.

7. "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - There's no indication Pete is a servant.

8. "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - Not applicable in this context.

9. Isle of Man - Clearly not applicable.

10. Game equipment piece - Not applicable.

11. All of the living human inhabitants of the earth - Not applicable.

The best fit is sense 1: "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)".

The passage simply uses "man" to identify Pete as a specific adult male, nothing more complex than that straightforward meaning.

The context describes the man leaving "quickly and silently" while Haney felt "relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure." This clearly indicates stealthy, inconspicuous movement. Sense 1 ("move stealthily") with the synonym "steal" and example "The ship slipped away in the darkness" best captures this meaning of slipping out unobserved.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "slip" in this passage:

"Haney watched the small but wiry man <t>slip</t> out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

The key contextual clues:
- "slip out the door quickly and silently"
- Haney was "relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure"
- This is clearly describing someone leaving inconspicuously/stealthily

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "move stealthily" - synonyms: steal | This fits well. "The ship slipped away in the darkness" is similar to slipping out the door.

2. "insert inconspicuously or quickly or quietly" - This is more about putting something in, not about movement/departure.

3. "move obliquely or sideways, usually in an uncontrolled manner" - This is about skidding/sliding, not about stealthy movement.

4. "get worse" - Not relevant here.

5. "move smoothly and easily" - This is possible, but doesn't capture the stealthy aspect.

6. "make a mistake" - Not relevant.

7. "pass on stealthily" - This could work, but it's more about passing something to someone.

8. "move easily" - Similar to #5, but doesn't emphasize stealth.

9. "cause to move with a smooth or sliding motion" - This is a causative sense, not what we need.

10. "pass out of one's memory" - Not relevant.

11. "move out of position" - Not relevant.

The best match is sense 1: "move stealthily" with the synonym "steal" and the example "The ship slipped away in the darkness." This captures the idea of moving out the door quietly and unnoticed, which is exactly what's happening in the context.

**Reasoning**: The context describes a man physically "slip[ping] out the door," referring to the physical swinging or sliding barrier that closes the entrance to a space. The examples for sense 1 ("he knocked on the door; he slammed the door as he left") directly parallel this usage of interacting with a physical door structure. Sense 2 would refer to the doorway/opening itself rather than the barrier, and senses 3-5 represent more abstract or metonymic uses of "door."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the <t>door</t> quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

The context shows a man slipping out through a physical barrier (a door) from what appears to be a building or room. This is describing the physical object that closes an entrance.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "a swinging or sliding barrier that will close the entrance to a room or building or vehicle" - This is the physical barrier itself. The man is slipping out through/past this physical door.

2. "the entrance (the space in a wall) through which you enter or leave a room or building; the space that a door can close" - This is the doorway or opening itself, not the barrier.

3. "anything providing a means of access (or escape)" - This is metaphorical/abstract, like "education is the door to success"

4. "a structure where people live or work (usually ordered along a street or road)" - This refers to a building or residence, like "the office next door"

5. "a room that is entered via a door" - This is referring to a room itself, like "the third door down the hall"

In the context, the man is physically slipping out "the door" - this is referring to the physical swinging or sliding barrier that closes the entrance. The examples for sense 1 ("he knocked on the door; he slammed the door as he left") perfectly match this usage where someone is physically interacting with or passing through a door.

The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context of "felt" in the sentence:

"Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and <t>felt</t> relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

The sentence structure is: "Haney... felt relieved to see that..."

This is expressing an emotional state - Haney is experiencing relief, which is an emotion.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" - synonyms: experience. Examples: "She felt resentful; He felt regret" - This fits well! The person is experiencing relief, which is an emotional sensation.

2. "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" - This is about believing or thinking something, not just feeling an emotion.

3. "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles" - This is about physical sensation through touch.

4. "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" - This could also work, but it's broader and includes being conscious of states.

5. "have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude" - This is about how you perceive yourself in relation to others.

6. "undergo passive experience of" - This is about experiencing something actively rather than just feeling an emotion.

7. "be felt or perceived in a certain way" - This is about how something is perceived, not about the subject's emotional state.

8-13. These are about physical touching or exploration, not applicable here.

The key phrase is "felt relieved" - this is expressing an emotional state or sensation. The most appropriate senses are 1 and 4.

Sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" with examples like "She felt resentful" fits perfectly.
Sense 4 also works with examples like "I feel fine today," but it's broader in scope. Since "relieved" is specifically an emotional sensation rather than just any state, sense 1 is the more precise match.

The target word "see" in the context "felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice" means to perceive or be aware of a situation. The character Haney is observing/perceiving that nobody noticed the departure. This matches sense 3 ("perceive or be contemporaneous with") with synonyms like "witness" and "find," which captures the sense of observing that a particular situation or fact is the case.

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

"Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to <t>see</t> that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

In this context, "see" is used in the sense of "perceive by sight" or to observe/notice that something is the case. The character Haney is relieved that he was able to observe/notice that nobody else noticed the man's departure.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - This could work, as "see" refers to visual perception
2. "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" - This could also fit, as he's perceiving a situation/fact mentally (that nobody noticed)
3. "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - This could fit
4. "imagine; conceive of" - No, this doesn't fit
5. "deem to be" - No
6. "get to know or become aware of" - This could fit
7. "see or watch" - This could fit
8. "come together" - No
9. "find out, learn, or determine" - This could fit
10. "be careful or certain to do something" - No
11-23. Various other uses - Not applicable

The best fit seems to be sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" because the synonyms include "witness" and "find", and the examples show cases like "You'll see a lot of cheating in this school" which is similar to the context of "see that nobody else seemed to notice".

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2 "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" with example "Now I see!" and synonyms like "understand, realize" might also work.

But I think sense 3 is the most natural reading here - "see that nobody else seemed to notice" means to perceive/observe that this situation was occurring. The phrase "feel relieved to see that" suggests perceiving a situation.
Sense 3 fits best—it captures how Haney observes the situation that nobody else noticed the man's departure, with "witness" and "find" as supporting synonyms that align with the passage's meaning.

1. **sense_key=seem%2:39:00::** "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - synonyms: look, appear. Examples: "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem"
   - This is about the outward appearance or impression something gives.

2. **sense_key=seem%2:39:01::** "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" - synonyms: appear. Examples: "It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad"
   - This is about something appearing to be true or probable based on available evidence.

3. **sense_key=seem%2:42:00::** "appear to exist" - Examples: "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"
   - This is about something appearing to exist.

4. **sense_key=seem%2:39:02::** "appear to one's own mind or opinion" - Examples: "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters"
   - This is about how something appears to the speaker themselves.

In the context: "felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure"

The speaker is observing others and noticing that none of them appeared to notice the departure. This is about the outward appearance or impression - how it appeared to the observer that nobody noticed. This fits sense 1 best, which is "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect."

This is not sense 2 (about being true/probable), not sense 3 (about existing), and not sense 4 (about the speaker's own perspective). It's about what appeared to be the case based on observation - what impression the situation gave.
Reconsidering the phrasing "nobody seemed to notice" - both sense 1 and sense 2 could apply here, but sense 1 with its synonyms "look" and "appear" aligns more naturally with how the observer perceives the situation. The first sense captures the most straightforward reading.

Let me analyze the context and each sense to determine which one is the best fit for "notice" in this sentence.

Context: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

The sentence is saying that Haney was relieved that no one else perceived/detected the man's departure.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=notice%2:39:04:: - "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms "detect, observe, find, discover". The examples are about discovering the existence of something (high levels of lead).

2. sense_key=notice%2:39:00:: - "notice or perceive" with synonyms "mark, note". The examples are "She noted that someone was following her; mark my words" - this is about perceiving or observing.

3. sense_key=notice%2:32:00:: - "make or write a comment on" with synonyms "comment, remark, point out". This is about making comments/remarks.

4. sense_key=notice%2:32:01:: - "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" with synonyms "acknowledge". Examples about acknowledging colleagues.

In the context, "nobody else seemed to notice his departure" means nobody else perceived or observed his departure. This is about detecting/perceiving the presence of something (the man's departure).

Sense 1 (detect, discover) and Sense 2 (perceive, note) both seem applicable. However, Sense 1 emphasizes "discover or determine the existence" while Sense 2 emphasizes "perceive or notice."

The word "notice" in the context seems most closely aligned with Sense 2 - "notice or perceive" - which directly uses "notice" as its definition and has synonyms like "mark" and "note" which fit the meaning of observing/perceiving something happening.
Sense 1 also captures the idea of detecting something's existence, but Sense 2 more directly aligns with perceiving an event as it occurs. The examples in Sense 2 about noting events happening fit better with someone noticing a departure in progress.

{"sense_index": 1}

The context clearly describes the stranger physically leaving the scene: "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell" and "slip out the door quickly and silently." The word "departure" refers to his literal act of leaving/going away. This matches sense 1 ("the act of departing") with synonyms "going, going away, leaving," which directly describes the physical action occurring in the passage.

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

The context shows:
"Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his <t>departure</t>."

The stranger is physically leaving - he stood up, nodded farewell, and slipped out the door quickly and silently. Haney was watching him leave and felt relieved that nobody noticed his departure.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "the act of departing" | synonyms: going, going away, leaving
   - This literally means the act of leaving, which fits perfectly with the context. The man is physically leaving the scene by going out the door.

2. "a variation that deviates from the standard or norm" | synonyms: deviation, divergence, difference
   - This is a metaphorical/abstract sense about deviation from standards. This doesn't fit the context at all.

3. "euphemistic expressions for death" | synonyms: passing, loss, exit, expiration, going, release
   - This is about death. While "exit" and "going" are synonyms here, the context clearly shows the man is physically leaving, not dying. There's no indication of death in this passage.

The correct answer is sense 1, which refers to the literal physical act of leaving/going away. The man is departing (leaving) the location, and Haney is watching his departure (the act of him leaving).

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The context shows Phil making a personal decision to stay longer at the location. This matches sense 1 "reach, make, or come to a decision about something" with synonyms like "make up one's mind" and "determine." The other senses involve settling legal matters (2), being caused to decide by external factors (3), or determining outcomes of external events (4), none of which apply to this straightforward personal decision.

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

The sentence is: "Phil decided to stay a little longer"

This is clearly Phil making a decision or choice about his action - he resolves to stay longer at the apartment/bar.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=decide%2:31:00:: | definition=reach, make, or come to a decision about something | synonyms=make up one's mind, determine | examples=We finally decided after lengthy deliberations
   - This fits perfectly. "Phil decided to stay a little longer" means he reached a decision about staying longer. The synonyms "make up one's mind" and "determine" both fit well.

2. sense_key=decide%2:31:01:: | definition=bring to an end; settle conclusively | synonyms=settle, resolve, adjudicate | examples=The case was decided; The judge decided the case in favor of the plaintiff
   - This is about settling legal/conclusive matters, not applicable here.

3. sense_key=decide%2:31:02:: | definition=cause to decide | examples=This new development finally decided me!
   - This would be about something causing someone else to decide, not about the person themselves deciding.

4. sense_key=decide%2:31:06:: | definition=influence or determine | examples=The vote in New Hampshire often decides the outcome of the Presidential election
   - This is about determining the outcome of something, not about making a personal decision.

The best fit is clearly sense 1: "reach, make, or come to a decision about something". Phil is making a personal decision to stay longer.

The context "Phil decided to stay a little longer" indicates Phil is choosing to remain in his current location for an extended period. Sense 3 (dwell) best captures this meaning, especially supported by the example "stay a bit longer--the day is still young," which parallels the target sentence almost exactly. This reflects temporary remaining in a place rather than a permanent residence.

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

"Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table."

The context indicates that Phil is deciding to remain in a location (a bar or restaurant where they are currently) for a longer period of time.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "stay the same; remain in a certain state" - This is about remaining unchanged, not about location. Not the best fit.

2. "stay put (in a certain place)" - This is about remaining in a location. The example "We are staying in Detroit" is similar to Phil staying (remaining) in the current location.

3. "dwell" - This is about living somewhere, temporary residence. The example "You can stay with me while you are in town; stay a bit longer--the day is still young" is very similar to our context. "Stay a bit longer" matches the context.

4. "continue in a place, position, or situation" - Similar to sense 2 and 3, about continuing to be in a place. The example "After graduation, she stayed on in Cambridge" shows continuation.

5. "remain behind" - This is specifically about being left behind or staying at home. The example shows staying at home. This doesn't fit as well.

6. "stop or halt" - This doesn't fit the context. It's about stopping something.

7. "stay behind" - This is about remaining behind after others leave. Doesn't fit.

8. "hang on during a trial of endurance" - Not relevant.

9. "stop a judicial process" - Not relevant.

10. "fasten with stays" - Not relevant.

11. "overcome or allay" - Not relevant.

Looking at the context more carefully: "Phil decided to stay a little longer" - Phil is deciding to remain/continue in his current location for a longer time period.
Sense 3 is the best match because it directly parallels the example "stay a bit longer--the day is still young," which mirrors Phil's decision to extend his time in the current location. This sense captures temporary residence or remaining in a place, making it the most fitting interpretation.

The phrase "as time passed" refers to an indefinite period of time progressing. Sense 3 ("an indefinite period") best captures this usage, where time is understood as a duration or stretch of period that continues. The example "he waited a long time" parallels the narrative context where time is elapsing during Phil's stay.

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

"Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as <t>time</t> passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table."

In this context, "as time passed" means as the passage of time continued. The phrase "time passed" is idiomatic and refers to the progression or continuation of time itself.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "an instance or single occasion" - No, this doesn't fit. "Time passed" isn't referring to a specific instance.

2. "a period of time considered as a resource under your control" - This could potentially fit, but the phrase "time passed" doesn't emphasize control or resource.

3. "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - This could fit. "Time passed" refers to an indefinite period.

4. "a suitable moment" - No, doesn't fit.

5. "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past" - This fits well. "As time passed" refers to time as the continuum in which events happen sequentially.

6. "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - No, this is about personal experience.

7. "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - No, not about clock time specifically.

8. "the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event" - This is a physics definition. Could fit but seems too technical.

9. "rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration" - No, not about rhythm or meter.

10. "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - No, not relevant.

The best fit is sense 5, which defines time as "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past". The phrase "as time passed" directly refers to the passage through this continuum. This is the most fundamental understanding of time in the context.
Reconsidering sense 3 though—it emphasizes a concrete period of duration rather than the abstract continuum. The example "he waited a long time" parallels the usage here more closely, suggesting sense 3 might be the better fit since it captures the notion of a measurable period passing rather than time as an abstract philosophical concept.

The context "as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there" uses "passed" to mean time elapsing or flowing by. This matches sense 4 (elapse, lapse, slip by, go by) with the synonym "elapse" and example "three years elapsed."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context: "as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there"

The word "passed" is used here in the context of time flowing. The phrase "as time passed" means "as time went by" or "as time elapsed."

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. go across or through - doesn't fit
2. move past - could fit but seems more about physical movement
3. make laws - doesn't fit
4. pass by / elapse / lapse / slip by - "three years elapsed" - THIS FITS! This is about time elapsing
5. place into hands - doesn't fit

22. cause to pass - doesn't fit
23. grant authorization - doesn't fit
24. pass from physical life - doesn't fit
25. eliminate from body - doesn't fit

The best match is sense 4: "pass by / elapse / lapse / slip by" with the example "three years elapsed". The phrase "as time passed" clearly means time elapsed or went by.

So the answer is sense index 4.

The context shows Phil experiencing an impression that the strange man "had never been there." The phrase "seemed as if" expresses that something appeared to be true or probable—the man's absence seemed apparent. This matches sense 2 ("seem to be true, probable, or apparent") rather than the other options. Sense 1 focuses on outward aspect/impression, sense 3 on existence, and sense 4 on personal subjective perception, but the construction here indicates a judgment about what appears to be true given the circumstances.

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

"as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table"

The sentence is expressing how it appeared or gave the impression that the strange little man had never been there. This is about how something appears to be true or how an impression is created.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=seem%2:39:00:: - "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - examples: "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem" - This is about the outward appearance or impression.

2. sense_key=seem%2:39:01:: - "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" - examples: "It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad" - This is about something appearing to be true or probable.

3. sense_key=seem%2:42:00:: - "appear to exist" - examples: "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now" - This is about something appearing to exist or being present.

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

In the context "it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there", the phrase is expressing that it appeared/seemed as if something were true (that the man had never been there). This is closest to sense 2, which deals with "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" with the example "It seems that he is very gifted" which has a similar structure to "it seemed as if...".

Sense 1 could also work, but sense 2 is more specific to "appear to be true" which matches the context better.
The correct sense is sense 2.

The target word "strange" in this context refers to the man being unfamiliar or unknown to Phil. The passage establishes that this is a person Phil has just met—referred to earlier as "the stranger"—whom he does not know. The phrase "as if the strange little man had never been there" emphasizes the unfamiliar, unknown nature of this person. This aligns with sense 2 (not known before; unfamiliar), similar to the example "saw many strange faces in the crowd," rather than sense 1 (odd/weird) or sense 3 (foreign).

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

The context describes a small, wiry man whom Phil Haney has just met. The passage says:
- "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell"
- "the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently"
- "as if the strange little man had never been there"

Let me examine each sense:

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

2. Sense 2: "not known before; unknown" - This refers to something unfamiliar or not previously known. 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; foreign" - This refers to something from another place or foreign origin.

Looking at the context, the man is described as a "stranger" (literally, a person he doesn't know). The text says "the strange little man had never been there" - this suggests the man is unfamiliar or unknown to Phil. The emphasis seems to be on the fact that this person is unfamiliar/not known to Phil.

Between sense 1 and sense 2, sense 2 seems most appropriate because:
- The man is a "stranger" (unknown person)
- Phil doesn't know him
- The phrase "saw many strange faces in the crowd" in the examples of sense 2 is very similar - seeing unfamiliar faces
- The context emphasizes the man being unknown/unfamiliar rather than being odd or bizarre

So the best choice is sense 2.

The context describes "the strange little man" in relation to his physical appearance. Earlier in the passage, he's explicitly described as "the small but wiry man," emphasizing his short stature. Sense 6 ("low in stature; not tall") is the most precise fit for this description of an adult man's physical characteristic, distinguishing it from sense 1, which is more general about size/magnitude.

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

The sentence in question is: "and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange <t>little</t> man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table."

The target word is "little" in the phrase "the strange little man".

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" - This refers to physical size. The context describes the man as "small but wiry" earlier and calls him a "little man", which suggests small physical stature.

2. "(quantifier used with mass nouns) small in quantity or degree" - This is used with mass nouns like "little rain". The phrase "a little longer" uses this sense, but the target is "little man", not this usage.

3. "(of children and animals) young, immature" - The man is described as "wiry" and appears to be an adult, so this doesn't fit.

4. "(informal) small and of little importance" - This sense suggests unimportance. While the man is mysterious and tries to go unnoticed, "little" here seems to describe size rather than importance.

5. "(of a voice) faint" - Not relevant here; we're not describing a voice.

6. "low in stature; not tall" - This directly describes height/stature. The passage earlier says "the small but wiry man", which aligns with being short in stature.

7. "lowercase" - Not relevant; this is about typography.

8. "small in a way that arouses feelings (of tenderness or its opposite depending on the context)" - This could apply, but seems secondary to the physical description.

The most straightforward reading is that "the strange little man" refers to someone of small physical stature. Earlier in the text, he's described as "the small but wiry man", which confirms he's physically small/short.
Sense 6 is the most precise fit since it specifically addresses stature and height rather than general size. While sense 1 could work as a broader descriptor of physical dimensions, the man's "wiry" build and quick movements suggest the focus is on his shortness rather than overall magnitude.

The passage describes a specific male individual - "the small but wiry man" - who is a stranger in a scene. The context refers to him as a distinct male person, supporting the basic sense of "an adult person who is male." There is no indication of military service, servile status, romantic relationship, manly virtues, or generic human reference - it is simply identifying a particular male person in the narrative.

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

Context: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently... as if the strange little man had never been there..."

The passage is describing a physical person - a stranger who is visiting. The text describes him as:
- "small but wiry"
- "strange little man"
- A person who exits and could be noticed by others
- Someone with a physical presence

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "an adult person who is male" - This is the basic sense for an adult male human
2. "someone who serves in the armed forces" - Not supported by context
3. "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - Possible, but the context specifically indicates male
4. "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae" - Too technical/formal for this context
5. "a male subordinate" - No indication of subordinate role
6. "an adult male person who has a manly character" - No evidence of this character description
7. "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - No evidence of this role
8. "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - No evidence of this relationship
9. "one of the British Isles in the Irish Sea" - Geographic sense, not applicable
10. "game equipment" - Not applicable
11. "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - Too broad for context

The most appropriate sense is sense 1: "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)" because:
- The context describes a specific male individual
- He is described as "man" in contrast to potential female observers
- This is the most straightforward, literal meaning in this narrative context
- The answer is sense_index: 1

The target word "other" in the phrase "the other glass on the table" refers to a glass that is different from what has been previously mentioned—evidence of the stranger's presence. This meaning aligns with sense 1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied," which captures the idea of a distinct, additional glass distinguishing itself from the glasses already established in the context.

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

The sentence is: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the <t>other</t> glass on the table."

Let me break down the context:
- The narrator mentions "the other glass on the table"
- It's referring to a glass left behind by the stranger who just left
- It's distinguishing this glass from some other glass(es) at the table
- The meaning is that the only evidence the stranger was there is this other/additional glass

Now let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=other%3:00:00:: - "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - This fits! The glass is different from other glasses that might have been there, implying a glass that's different from what we've already mentioned. Examples: "today isn't any other day; the construction of highways and other public works" - This shows "other" means "additional" or "different/distinct from what's mentioned."

2. sense_key=other%5:00:00:past:00 - "recently past" - Example: "the other evening" - This doesn't fit at all. We're not talking about time.

3. sense_key=other%5:00:02:past:00 - "belonging to the distant past" - Examples: "the early inhabitants of Europe; former generations" - This doesn't fit either. Not about the distant past.

4. sense_key=other%5:00:00:strange:00 - "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected" - This doesn't fit. The glass isn't being described as strange or unusual in character, just as an "other" glass (different/additional one).

The best fit is sense 1, which means "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - referring to a different/additional glass on the table that serves as evidence the stranger was there.

The context describes a glass left on the table by the stranger who just departed from what appears to be a bar or restaurant setting. This is clearly referring to a drinking glass—a container used for holding beverages, not the material, a quantity, or any of the other senses listed.

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

The passage reads: "...but for the other glass on the table."

This is referring to a glass that was left on the table by the stranger who just left. The context suggests there was some drinking or beverage consumption happening in what appears to be a bar or restaurant setting (given "Customer" and "Pete smiled modestly").

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=glass%1:27:00:: | definition=a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure
   - This is the material itself, not referring to a container

2. sense_key=glass%1:06:00:: | definition=a container for holding liquids while drinking | synonyms=drinking glass
   - This makes perfect sense - a glass container left on the table that someone was drinking from

3. sense_key=glass%1:23:00:: | definition=the quantity a glass will hold | synonyms=glassful
   - This refers to the amount/quantity, not the object itself

4. sense_key=glass%1:06:03:: | definition=a small refracting telescope | synonyms=field glass, spyglass
   - Doesn't fit the context

5. sense_key=glass%1:06:01:: | definition=an amphetamine derivative...
   - This seems like slang for methamphetamine, doesn't fit the context

6. sense_key=glass%1:06:02:: | definition=a mirror; usually a ladies' dressing mirror | synonyms=looking glass
   - Doesn't fit the context

7. sense_key=glass%1:06:04:: | definition=glassware collectively | examples=She collected old glass
   - This is about a collection of glassware, not a single glass object on a table

The answer is sense 2 - a drinking glass left behind on the table. This is the only interpretation that fits the scenario of someone departing and leaving their beverage container behind.

The context describes a glass sitting "on the table" in what appears to be a bar or restaurant setting. This refers to a physical piece of furniture with a flat surface where objects (like drinks) are placed, which matches sense 2: "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs."

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

The context is: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the <t>table</t>."

The passage is describing a scene in what appears to be a bar or similar establishment. Phil is sitting there, and there's a glass on the table - indicating this is a physical piece of furniture with a smooth flat top where items are placed.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "a set of data arranged in rows and columns" - This is a data table. Not applicable here.

2. "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs" - This fits! The description mentions "the other glass on the table," indicating a physical surface where objects are placed.

3. "a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it" - This is a table set for dining. While the context could be a bar/restaurant, the mention of "the other glass" suggests it's just a furniture piece, not specifically a table set with food/tableware for a meal.

4. "flat tableland with steep edges" - This is a geological feature. Not applicable.

5. "a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game" - This would be people gathered around a table. The passage doesn't focus on a group of people at a table together.

6. "food or meals in general" - Not applicable here.

The best fit is sense 2: "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs" - because the context clearly refers to a physical piece of furniture (a table) on which a glass is placed.

The context describes Haney/Phil going back to his apartment after being out at a location (the bar/establishment where he met the stranger). This is a straightforward physical return to a place where he has been before, which matches sense 1: "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before." The examples provided ("return to your native land"; "the professor returned to his teaching position") parallel this use perfectly.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target lemma "returned".

The context sentence is:
"Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

Here, "returned" is being used to mean that the person (Haney/Phil) went back to his apartment. He was out (at a bar/location where he met the stranger), and then he went back to his apartment.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before" - This fits! He's coming back to his apartment where he lives/has been before.

2. "give back" - Doesn't fit the context at all.

3. "go back to a previous state" - Not about going back to a place, but returning to a state.

4. "go back to something earlier" - This is about recalling or going back to something mentioned earlier, not physical location.

5. "bring back to the point of departure" - This would require an object, like "return something to..."

6. "return in kind" - Doesn't fit.

7. "make a return" - Too vague.

8. "answer back" - Doesn't fit.

9. "be restored" - Not about going back to a place.

10. "pay back" - Doesn't fit.

11. "pass down" - Doesn't fit.

12. "elect again" - Doesn't fit.

13. "be inherited by" - Doesn't fit.

14. "return to a previous position; in mathematics" - Possibly, but this seems more technical/mathematical.

15. "give or supply" - Doesn't fit.

16. "submit (a report, etc.) to someone in authority" - Doesn't fit.

The best match is clearly sense 1: "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before" with examples like "return to your native land" which is similar to returning to one's apartment.
The answer is sense_index 1.
