The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" means placing the incident in an abstract location—out of consciousness/memory. This matches sense 1 ("put into a certain place or abstract location"), where "out of mind" serves as the abstract location where the incident is being placed, similar to the example "Put your things here" which places objects in a location.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and find the best sense for "putting" in the phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" means to push something out of one's memory or consciousness. The person is deliberately dismissing the incident from their thoughts.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=put%2:35:00:: "put into a certain place or abstract location" - This involves placing something in a physical or abstract location. The phrase "out of mind" could be considered an abstract location, so this could fit. Examples: "Put your things here; Set the tray down"

2. sense_key=put%2:35:05:: "cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation" - This would mean causing something to be in a certain state. "Put out of mind" could mean to cause something to be out of one's mind/consciousness. This could also fit.

3. sense_key=put%2:32:00:: "formulate in a particular style or language" - This is about how something is expressed. Not a good match.

4. sense_key=put%2:34:00:: "attribute or give" - This is about assignment or attribution. Not a good match.

5. sense_key=put%2:40:00:: "make an investment" - This is about investments. Not relevant.

6. sense_key=put%2:31:13:: "estimate" - This is about estimation. Not a good match.
The remaining senses—causing someone to undergo something, adaptation, and arranging thoughts—don't align with the meaning here. The strongest candidate is sense 1, since "out of mind" functions as an abstract location where the incident is being placed, similar to how the phrasal verb "put out of mind" works.

The context shows "putting the whole incident out of mind," where "whole" means the entire, complete event without exception. This matches sense 1's definition of "including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete." The word is used to refer to the entirety of what happened during that night.

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

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

The phrase is "putting the whole incident out of mind." This means he was putting the entire incident, the complete event, out of his mind.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete" - This is about completeness, the entire thing. Examples: "gave his whole attention" (all of his attention), "a whole wardrobe for the tropics" (a complete set). This seems to fit - "the whole incident" = the entire incident.

2. "(of siblings) having the same parents" - This is about family relationships, clearly not applicable here.

3. "not injured" - This doesn't fit the context at all.

4. "exhibiting or restored to vigorous good health" - This is about physical health, not applicable.

5. "acting together as a single undiversified whole" - This is about unity and solidarity, not the right fit.

The most appropriate sense is clearly sense 1, which refers to the complete, entire extent of something. "The whole incident" means the entire incident, the complete event from beginning to end. This matches the definition "including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete."

The context describes Haney putting "the whole incident out of mind" after returning to his apartment following an encounter with a stranger. The word refers to the overall event or encounter that just occurred—the social interaction at the bar with Pete and the strange man. This aligns with sense 1 (a single distinct event) rather than sense 2, which refers to a public disturbance that would typically involve police or law enforcement, neither of which is present in this context.

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

The context describes:
- Pete, a stranger, meeting Haney and Phil at what seems to be a bar
- The stranger leaves quietly
- Phil stays longer
- Haney returns to his apartment and "hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep"

The two candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=incident%1:11:00:: | definition=a single distinct event
2. sense_key=incident%1:26:00:: | definition=a public disturbance | examples=the police investigated an incident at the bus station

In the context, "incident" refers to the visit/encounter with the strange little man - it's described as the overall event that happened. It's not being described as a "public disturbance" but rather as a single distinct event or occurrence that happened.

The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" suggests referring to the event that just occurred - the encounter with the stranger. This is more aligned with "a single distinct event" rather than "a public disturbance."

There's no indication of any disturbance or police involvement. It's simply referring to the social encounter/event that took place.

Therefore, sense 1 (a single distinct event) is the best fit.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" means to forget or stop recalling/remembering the incident. This directly corresponds to sense 2 (recall or remembrance), where putting something "out of mind" is the inverse action of recalling it. The context shows Haney deliberately removing the incident from his thoughts before sleep.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "mind" in the sentence:

"Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of <t>mind</t> before he fell asleep."

The phrase is "putting the whole incident out of mind" - this means to forget or stop thinking about something.

Let me look at each candidate sense:

1. "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason" - This is too general. While mind can refer to the cognitive faculty, that's not what "putting out of mind" means.

2. "recall or remembrance" - The example "it came to mind" suggests this is about remembering. "Putting out of mind" would be the opposite - removing from memory/thoughts. This seems quite fitting.

3. "an opinion formed by judging something" - This doesn't fit. The incident isn't being judged here.

4. "an important intellectual" - This refers to a person/thinker, not what's meant here.

5. "attention" - The example is "don't pay him any mind" which means don't pay attention. "Putting out of mind" could mean removing from attention/consideration. This could fit.

6. "your intention; what you intend to do" - This doesn't fit the context.

7. "knowledge and intellectual ability" - This doesn't fit the context.

Now, the phrase "put out of mind" most commonly means to forget or stop thinking about something.

Looking at sense 2 (recall or remembrance) - the definition says "recall or remembrance" and gives example "it came to mind". But if something is "put out of mind", it means it's no longer in one's memory/thoughts.

Looking at sense 5 (attention) - "don't pay him any mind" = don't pay attention. To "put something out of mind" could mean to remove it from one's attention/consideration.
Sense 1 also works—removing the incident from consciousness aligns with mind as the seat of thoughts. But sense 2 is the strongest match since putting something out of mind directly relates to removing it from your capacity to recall or remember it.

The context shows "The next day, Sunday" referring to the day immediately following the night before. This is a temporal use of "next" - the day that immediately follows in time. Sense 1 ("immediately following in time or order") with the example "the following day" is the perfect match for this usage. Sense 2 refers to spatial adjacency (wrong domain), and sense 3 is specific to elected officers (not applicable here).

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

The sentence is: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

Here, "next" is referring to "the next day" - the day immediately following the night before. This is clearly referring to time, not space.

Let me examine the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=next%5:00:00:succeeding:00 | definition=immediately following in time or order | synonyms=following | examples=the following day; next in line
   - This definition is "immediately following in time or order"
   - The example "the following day" is exactly the context we have
   - This refers to Sunday being the day that immediately follows Saturday night/Sunday morning

2. sense_key=next%5:00:00:close:01 | definition=nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space | synonyms=adjacent, side by side | examples=had adjacent rooms; in the next room
   - This is about spatial proximity, not temporal sequence
   - This doesn't fit - we're not talking about a room or spatial position

3. sense_key=next%5:00:00:incoming:00 | definition=(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving | synonyms=future, succeeding | examples=our next president
   - This is specifically about elected officers
   - This doesn't fit the context at all

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, as it deals with temporal succession ("next day" = "the following day"), which matches the context perfectly.

The phrase "The next day, Sunday" refers to the following calendar day, which is a complete 24-hour rotation period on Earth. This matches sense 1 (day%1:28:00::), which defines day as "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis." The example "two days later they left" uses "day" in the same temporal sense as the context sentence.

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

"The next <t>day</t>, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The context establishes:
- There was an incident the night before
- Phil (Haney) went to his apartment and went to sleep at night
- "The next day" refers to the following calendar day
- It's Sunday
- The hangover reminds him of the previous night

Now let's examine each sense:

1. sense_key=day%1:28:00:: - time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis (24 hours) - This fits because "The next day" refers to a 24-hour period
2. sense_key=day%1:28:03:: - some point or period in time - This is more vague and could work
3. sense_key=day%1:28:01:: - a day assigned to a particular purpose (like Mother's Day) - Doesn't fit, Sunday is not assigned a particular purpose in this context
4. sense_key=day%1:28:02:: - the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside - Doesn't fit because "day" here isn't referring to daylight hours specifically
5. sense_key=day%1:28:04:: - the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working) - Could fit, but less likely
6. sense_key=day%1:28:05:: - an era of existence or influence - Doesn't fit
7. sense_key=day%1:28:07:: - period of time taken by a particular planet to rotate - Doesn't fit
8. sense_key=day%1:28:06:: - sidereal day - Doesn't fit
9. sense_key=day%1:26:00:: - a period of opportunity - Doesn't fit
10. sense_key=day%1:18:00:: - US writer Clarence Day - Doesn't fit

The most natural reading is sense 1: "The next day" means the next 24-hour period. The example "two days later they left" is very similar in usage to "The next day, Sunday..." The answer should be sense 1.

The context clearly depicts Phil drinking at a bar the night before and experiencing the physical aftereffects the next day—"The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before" followed by "he groaned." This is the classic physiological sense of hangover as the disagreeable aftereffects of alcohol consumption, not a political office holder or a relic from the past.

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

The context shows:
- Phil has been drinking with a stranger at what appears to be a bar
- The next day (Sunday), he experiences a "hangover"
- The hangover reminds him of where he was the night before
- He groaned in response to the hangover

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=hangover%1:26:00:: - "disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol)" with synonym "katzenjammer"
   - This refers to the physical/mental effects felt after drinking alcohol
   - This directly fits the context - he drank the night before and the next day he has a hangover from alcohol

2. sense_key=hangover%1:18:00:: - "an official who remains in office after his term" with synonym "holdover"
   - This is about political offices
   - This doesn't fit the context at all

3. sense_key=hangover%1:04:00:: - "something that has survived from the past" with synonym "holdover" and examples about things surviving from previous eras
   - This is a metaphorical/figurative sense about things from the past
   - This doesn't fit the context

The context clearly indicates:
- Phil went to a bar and drank
- The next morning he has a hangover
- The hangover is the physical/mental aftereffect of drinking
- This is causing him discomfort ("he groaned")

This is definitely sense 1: the disagreeable aftereffects from alcohol consumption.

The context shows the hangover causing Haney to remember (bringing back to his mind) where he had been the night before. This matches sense 1: "put in the mind of someone" - the hangover is putting the location/memory into Haney's mind. Sense 2 refers to theatrical/recitation prompting, which does not apply here.

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

Context: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The sentence is saying that the hangover brought back to his mind/made him remember where he had been the night before.

Let me look at the two senses:

1. sense_key=remind%2:31:00:: | definition=put in the mind of someone | examples=Remind me to call Mother
   - This means to cause someone to remember or think about something. The example "Remind me to call Mother" shows someone asking another to help them remember a task.
   - In the context, the hangover is causing Haney to remember/put in his mind where he had been.

2. sense_key=remind%2:32:00:: | definition=assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned | synonyms=prompt, cue
   - This is about prompting someone during performance/recitation (like in theater) by suggesting forgotten words.
   - This doesn't fit the context where a hangover is reminding someone of a location/event.

The first sense is clearly the correct one. The hangover is putting in Haney's mind where he had been - it's causing him to remember. This is the most common and general use of "remind" meaning to cause someone to remember something.

The answer should be sense index 1.

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

The sentence is: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

This is referring to the previous evening/night - the time period when Haney had been drinking and had the encounter with the stranger. He's saying the hangover reminded him about where he had been the night before (the night before Sunday).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - This is a general definition of night as a time period (nighttime)

2. "a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom" - This is metaphorical, not applicable here

3. "the period spent sleeping" - This refers specifically to sleeping time, but the context doesn't suggest he was sleeping the whole night

4. "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" - This refers to night as a time unit/period in the daily cycle

5. "darkness" - This is about the absence of light, not really about the time period

6. "a shortening of nightfall" - This is about the transition to darkness, not the full night period

7. "the time between sunset and midnight" - This is a specific portion of the night

8. "Roman goddess of night" - This is a proper noun/mythological reference, not applicable

The context "where he had been the night before" is referring to the evening/night period as a time unit when events occurred. Sense 4 ("the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit") with the example "three nights later he collapsed" seems to match - it treats night as a countable unit of time in the daily cycle.

However, sense 1 ("the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside") is also very appropriate and is the most straightforward definition of "night" as a time period.

Looking more carefully: The context is about "the night before" - a specific night as a time period.

Both senses 1 and 4 fit the usage, but sense 1 is the more direct and commonly used interpretation when referring to a particular evening or night period. The phrase "the night before" naturally points to sense 1 as the primary meaning here.

The context clearly indicates that Haney was drinking the night before, and woke up the next day with aftereffects from alcohol consumption. The text explicitly states "the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before" and later mentions he "went for more aspirin," which are typical responses to treating alcohol-related hangover symptoms. This unambiguously matches sense 1: disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol).

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

Context analysis:
"The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The sentence clearly indicates:
1. Haney was drinking the night before (there was "another glass on the table")
2. He hit the sack (went to bed) after drinking
3. The next day (Sunday), he has a "hangover" - which reminded him where he had been
4. Later he "went for more aspirin" - aspirin is commonly used for hangover symptoms

The three candidate senses are:
1. Disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol) - synonyms: katzenjammer
2. An official who remains in office after his term - synonyms: holdover
3. Something that has survived from the past - synonyms: holdover

Clearly, sense 1 is the correct interpretation here. The context explicitly shows:
- Haney was drinking the night before
- He woke up the next day with aftereffects from alcohol use
- He needed aspirin to deal with the hangover

Senses 2 and 3 don't make any sense in this context - this is not about officials or remnants from the past, it's about the physical aftereffects of drinking alcohol.

The answer is sense 1.

The context shows the hangover causing Haney to remember (be put in mind of) his conversation from the night before. This is the basic sense of "remind" - to bring something to someone's attention or memory. Sense 2, which refers to prompting someone during a recitation or performance, does not fit this context.

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

The sentence is: "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned."

Context analysis:
- The hangover (a physical symptom) is causing him to remember/be put in mind of his conversation with the weirdy
- This is about bringing something to someone's attention/memory
- The hangover is triggering recall of the memory

Let me examine the two senses:

Sense 1: "put in the mind of someone" with example "Remind me to call Mother"
- This is the general sense of causing someone to remember something or bringing something to their attention
- The hangover put in his mind the memory of his conversation
- This fits the context well

Sense 2: "assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned"
- This is about prompting or cueing someone during a performance or recitation
- This is a more specific theatrical/performance context
- This doesn't fit the context - the hangover is not assisting him in reciting something

The context clearly shows that the hangover is causing him to remember or bringing to mind the memory of the conversation. This is the basic sense of "remind" - to put something in someone's mind.

The answer is sense 1.

The phrase "He went for more aspirin" indicates Haney moved to obtain aspirin, which is a change of location/moving to another place. This matches sense 1 ("change location; move, travel, or proceed"), the most basic and direct sense of "go" in this context. He physically traveled somewhere to get the aspirin.

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

"He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

The phrase is "He went for more aspirin." This means he set out to get/obtain more aspirin.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "change location; move, travel, or proceed" - This could fit - he physically moved to get aspirin
2. "follow a procedure or take a course" - Not really
3. "move away from a place into another direction" - Possible, but "go away" specifically means to depart
4. "enter or assume a certain state or condition" - No
5. "be awarded; be allotted" - No
6. "have a particular form" - No
7. "stretch out over a distance, space, time, or scope" - No
8. "follow a certain course" - Possible, but this seems more about the course of events
9. "be abolished or discarded" - No
10. "be or continue to be in certain condition" - No
11. "make a certain noise or sound" - No
12. "perform as expected when applied" - No
13. "to be spent or finished" - No
14. "progress by being changed" - No
15. "continue to live through hardship or adversity" - No
16. "pass, fare, or elapse" - No
17. "pass from physical life" - No
18. "be in the right place or situation" - No
19. "be ranked or compare" - No
20. "begin or set in motion" - Possible - "go for" could mean to seek or attempt to get
21. "have a turn; make one's move in a game" - No
22. "be contained in" - No
23. "be sounded, played, or expressed" - No
24. "blend or harmonize" - No
25. "lead, extend, or afford access" - No
26. "be the right size or shape; fit correctly" - No
27. "go through in search of something; search through" - No
28. "be spent" - No
29. "give support (to) or make a choice (of)" - No
30. "stop operating or functioning" - No

The most fitting sense appears to be the first one—physical movement to obtain something. The "go for" construction specifically indicates pursuing or attempting to acquire aspirin, which aligns with changing location to accomplish that goal.

The phrase "later in the day" refers to the daytime hours—the period of time after sunrise and before sunset when it is light outside. This is the most natural interpretation of the target word in context, as Phil is going out to get aspirin during the daylight hours after his hangover-affected morning.

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

The sentence is: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way..."

Let me look at the context more carefully:
- Phil had a hangover the morning after
- "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before"
- "He went for more aspirin later in the day"

So "day" here refers to a specific part of a day - "later in the day" - meaning during the daytime, the period after he woke up when it was light outside, and he was doing activities like going for aspirin.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=day%1:28:00:: - "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" (24 hours) - This is about the full 24-hour period. The phrase "later in the day" doesn't fit well with this if it means the whole 24-hour period.

2. sense_key=day%1:28:03:: - "some point or period in time" - This could work but is quite general.

3. sense_key=day%1:28:01:: - "a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance" - Not relevant here.

4. sense_key=day%1:28:02:: - "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside" - This seems very fitting! "Later in the day" clearly refers to the daytime hours, the period when it's light outside. The synonyms are "daytime, daylight" and examples include "the dawn turned night into day; it is easier to make the repairs in the daytime". This matches perfectly with "later in the day."

5. sense_key=day%1:28:04:: - "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)" - This could also work. Examples: "my day began early this morning; it was a busy day on the stock exchange" suggest the waking hours of a person's routine, which fits the context of him going out for aspirin during his active hours.

The other senses—an era of existence, planetary rotation periods, a period of opportunity, or proper nouns—don't apply here. The most precise fit is sense 4, which directly captures the daytime period when he's awake and moving about.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "passed" is most appropriate.

The sentence is: "Phil shrugged and ignored him. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and <t>passed</t> the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

So Phil goes for aspirin and "passed the surly landlord on the way." This means he walked by the landlord, went past him.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

Sense 2: "move past" | synonyms: travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by | examples: "A black limousine passed by when she looked out the window; He passed his professor in the hall"

This fits perfectly! The example "He passed his professor in the hall" is almost identical to the context where Phil passed the landlord on the way.

Sense 1: "go across or through" - This is more about passing through a space or location, not about moving past someone.

Sense 7: "travel past" | synonyms: overtake, overhaul | examples: "The sports car passed all the trucks" - This implies overtaking or going faster, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

The best fit is sense 2: "move past" with the example "He passed his professor in the hall" which directly parallels "passed the surly landlord on the way."

The context indicates that the landlord "was still alive and scowling as usual." This is using "alive" in its most basic literal sense—possessing life, meaning the landlord is still living. The word "still" emphasizes that he continues to exist. The phrase describes an actual person's continued existence, not any figurative sense of being animated, aware, or in operation.

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

The sentence is: "he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

This is talking about the surly landlord. The context indicates that Phil passed the landlord on his way, and notes that the landlord "was still alive and scowling as usual."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "possessing life" - This would mean the landlord is still living (not dead). This is the most straightforward, literal meaning. The phrase "he was still alive" suggests the landlord is still living.

2. "full of life and spirit" - This would suggest the landlord is lively and full of energy. The description "scowling as usual" doesn't suggest liveliness or spirit.

3. "having life or vigor or spirit" - Similar to 2, suggesting the landlord is vigorous or spirited. Again, "scowling as usual" doesn't support this.

4. "aware of" - This doesn't fit the context.

5. "in operation" - This doesn't fit a person.

6. "mentally perceptive and responsive" - This doesn't fit the context well.

7. "capable of erupting" - This is about volcanoes, not applicable here.

The most appropriate sense is sense 1: "possessing life" - meaning the landlord is still living. The phrase "he was still alive and scowling as usual" is simply noting that the landlord is still there, still living, and still grumpy.

The answer should be sense_index: 1

The context describes a landlord's perspective on tenants as a burden. The mention of "landlord" in the same sentence clearly indicates the rental relationship where tenants pay rent to occupy the landlord's property. Sense 1 ("someone who pays rent to use land or a building...") is the best fit, especially given the example "the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent," which directly parallels the landlord-tenant dynamic in this passage.

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

The sentence is: "he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

This is referring to the landlord's perspective on tenants. The context makes it clear that:
1. There is a landlord
2. Tenants are people who interact with the landlord
3. The landlord finds them bothersome/a burden

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=tenant%1:18:00:: - "someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else" | synonyms: renter
   - This is the most common usage - someone who rents property from a landlord

2. sense_key=tenant%1:18:02:: - "a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)"
   - This is a more legal/formal definition covering various types of holders

3. sense_key=tenant%1:18:01:: - "any occupant who dwells in a place"
   - This is a broader definition that includes any occupant

In the context, we have a landlord who is scowling at tenants who pay rent to him (implied). The use of "landlord" in the same sentence strongly suggests we're talking about the typical landlord-tenant rental relationship. The example for sense 1 even mentions "the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent" which directly parallels our context.

Sense 1 is the most appropriate because:
- It's the most common understanding
- The context mentions a landlord, which pairs with renters/tenants
- The synonym "renter" fits perfectly with the landlord context
- The example directly relates to the landlord-tenant relationship. The other senses are either too broad or too technical—sense 3 lacks the specificity of a rental arrangement, and sense 2 relies on legal terminology that doesn't match the everyday tone of the passage.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context shows the landlord treating tenants as problematic, with the phrase "as if tenants were a burden in his life." This aligns with sense 1 ("an onerous or difficult concern"), which uses synonyms like "onus" and "load" and provides examples such as "the burden of responsibility." The word refers to something that is a source of difficulty or worry for the landlord, not a physical weight (sense 2) or a thematic element in discourse (senses 3-4).

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

"as if tenants were a burden in his life"

The sentence is describing the landlord and his attitude toward tenants. The phrase "burden in his life" suggests something that causes difficulty, worry, or is onerous to deal with.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "an onerous or difficult concern" - synonyms: load, encumbrance, incumbrance, onus
   Examples: "the burden of responsibility; that's a load off my mind"
   This fits well with the context - tenants being a burden suggests they are a source of difficulty or concern for the landlord.

2. "weight to be borne or conveyed" - synonyms: load, loading
   This is the physical/literal meaning of burden (something heavy to carry). This doesn't fit the context about tenants.

3. "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work" - synonyms: effect, essence, core, gist
   This doesn't fit at all - we're not talking about a speech or literary work.

4. "the central idea that is expanded in a document or discourse"
   This also doesn't fit - same issue as sense 3.

The most appropriate sense is clearly sense 1: "an onerous or difficult concern" - the landlord views tenants as a burden because they are a source of difficulty or annoyance to him. This is the metaphorical/figurative use of "burden" meaning something that is troublesome or taxing to deal with.

The phrase "tenants were a burden in his life" refers to the landlord's overall existence and the events/circumstances that comprise his existence. The context describes how dealing with tenants is part of the course of his life's experience. This best matches sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living," rather than sense 1 (a specific mode of living like "city life") or sense 2 (broader philosophical experience of being alive).

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

The sentence is: "he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

The phrase "a burden in his life" suggests that we're talking about the existence or experience of the landlord - his daily existence, his circumstances, the way he lives. The tenants are described as a burden "in his life," which means in the course of his existence, his experience, his daily living.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "a characteristic state or mode of living" - Examples: social life; city life. This is about a specific aspect/domain of living.

2. "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - This refers to the overall experience and course of one's life, which seems fitting here.

3. "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" - This is about the sequence of events in someone's life, their personal journey.

4. "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - This is more about the state of being alive vs dead.

5. "the period during which something is functional" - This is about duration/lifespan.

6-7. About specific time periods related to life span.

8. "a living person" - Not applicable here.

9. "animation and energy in action or expression" - Not applicable.

10. "living things collectively" - Not applicable.

11. "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms" - Not applicable.

12. "an account of the series of events making up a person's life" - Not applicable.

13. "a motive for living" - Not applicable.

14. "a prison term" - Not applicable.

The key phrase is "in his life" - meaning in the context of his existence, his daily experience, his situation. This seems to best match sense 2 or 3.
Sense 2 and 3 are quite similar, but sense 3 better captures what's happening here—the tenants are part of the events and circumstances making up his existence. Sense 1 could also apply if we're thinking of landlord life as a specific domain, but the phrasing suggests we're talking about his overall life course rather than a particular aspect of it.

The context shows Phil choosing not to engage with or pay attention to the surly landlord. After shrugging, he deliberately disregards the landlord and moves on with his day. This matches sense 4 ("give little or no attention to") rather than sense 3 (fail to notice), since Phil clearly sees the landlord but chooses to dismiss him. It's not the active social snubbing of sense 1, but rather a deliberate choice to not give him consideration.

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

The sentence is: "Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday."

The context shows that Phil:
1. Sees the surly landlord who is scowling
2. The narrator describes the landlord as if tenants were a burden in his life
3. Phil shrugs and ignores him
4. Then continues with his day

Let me examine each sense:

1. "refuse to acknowledge" - This means actively rejecting or refusing to recognize someone. This would be more like deliberately snubbing someone. The synonyms "disregard, snub, cut" suggest a more deliberate social rejection.

2. "bar from attention or consideration" - This means to exclude from one's thoughts/consideration. Synonyms like "dismiss, disregard, brush aside" suggest actively pushing something out of one's mind.

3. "fail to notice" - This means not paying attention to something, not observing it.

4. "give little or no attention to" - This means not giving something much attention, essentially disregarding it. Synonyms include "neglect, disregard."

5. "be ignorant of or in the dark about" - This means not knowing about something.

In the context, Phil is not failing to notice the landlord - he sees him ("passed the surly landlord on the way"). He's choosing not to engage with him or give him attention. He shrugs (showing emotional detachment) and ignores him.

This seems most consistent with:
- Sense 2: "bar from attention or consideration" - actively excluding the landlord from his consideration
- Sense 4: "give little or no attention to" - simply not paying much attention to him

Between 2 and 4, I think sense 2 is more precise here. Phil is actively choosing to dismiss/brush aside the landlord's presence rather than simply failing to notice him. The "shrug" indicates an active choice to disregard.

Reconsidering the phrasing though, sense 4 captures the essence better—Phil is simply choosing not to give the landlord much attention and moving past the interaction. The example "disregard the errors" parallels how Phil disregards the landlord's presence and continues on with his day.

The context clearly indicates that the landlord still possesses life (is not dead). The sentence "By Wednesday the landlord was still alive" is a straightforward statement about the landlord's continued existence. This matches sense 1: "possessing life," which is the basic, literal meaning of "alive" as living or not dead.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "alive" to determine the correct sense.

The context is: "By Wednesday the landlord was still <t>alive</t>."

This is a straightforward statement that the landlord was still alive, meaning he was still living/possessing life. The sentence is contrasting the landlord's continued existence - he's still around on Wednesday, still living.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "possessing life" - This is the most literal, basic meaning of "alive" meaning still living, not dead. The examples given are "the happiest person alive; the nerve is alive" - both about having life.

2. "full of life and spirit" - This would be about being lively, full of energy. The examples show this is about being vibrant and energetic. This doesn't fit - we're not told the landlord is full of life and spirit.

3. "having life or vigor or spirit" - Similar to #2, about vitality and energy. Examples show "animated and expressive face; animated conversation" - not about simple existence.

4. "aware of" - This doesn't fit the context at all.

5. "in operation" - This could potentially apply if "alive" means "still in existence/operating" in a more metaphorical sense. But in this context, we're literally talking about the landlord's existence.

6. "mentally perceptive and responsive" - This is about awareness/alertness, doesn't fit.

7. "capable of erupting" - This is about volcanoes, doesn't fit.

The context is clearly using "alive" in the basic sense of "possessing life" or "not dead" - the landlord is still alive, still living. This is sense 1.

Context:
The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney <t>mailed</t> the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building.

The context describes Haney sending a monthly check to his wife through the postal service. Sense 1 ("send via the postal service") directly matches this action, with the example "I'll mail you the check tomorrow" being nearly identical in meaning to the target sentence. Sense 2 is a broader definition that encompasses any transmission method, but the specific context of mailing a check clearly invokes the traditional postal service meaning.

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

Context: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly..."

The two senses are:
1. sense_key=mail%2:35:00:: | definition=send via the postal service | synonyms=get off | examples=I'll mail you the check tomorrow
2. sense_key=mail%2:32:00:: | definition=cause to be directed or transmitted to another place | synonyms=post, send | examples=send me your latest results; I'll mail you the paper when it's written

In this context, Haney is mailing a monthly check (for separate maintenance/alimony) to his wife Lolly. This is clearly sending a physical check through the postal system, which is the traditional meaning of "mail."

Sense 1 is more specific: "send via the postal service" - this directly refers to sending something through the mail system.

Sense 2 is broader: "cause to be directed or transmitted to another place" - this is a more general definition that could apply to various methods of transmission.

Given that the context specifically mentions "mailed the monthly check," which is a concrete action of sending a check through the postal service (the traditional meaning of "mail"), Sense 1 appears to be the best fit. The example in Sense 1 ("I'll mail you the check tomorrow") is directly parallel to the context sentence.

The answer should be sense_index: 1
