The context clearly indicates that Haney "mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly." This is describing a financial instrument—a written order to a bank to pay money—which is being sent regularly as a payment obligation. This matches the definition "a written order directing a bank to pay money" with synonyms "bank check, cheque."

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

"On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly <t>check</t> 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 key context here is:
- "Haney mailed the monthly check"
- "for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly"

This is talking about mailing something monthly to his wife. The context strongly suggests this is a financial payment - a written order from a bank to pay money, which would be used for "separate maintenance" (support payments in a divorce/separation context).

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=check%1:21:00:: - "a written order directing a bank to pay money" - synonyms: bank check, cheque. Example: "he paid all his bills by check"
   This fits perfectly. It's a written order to pay money, being mailed to his wife.

2. sense_key=check%1:09:00:: - "an appraisal of the state of affairs"
   Not relevant here.

3. sense_key=check%1:10:00:: - "the bill in a restaurant"
   Not relevant here.

4. sense_key=check%1:26:00:: - "the state of inactivity following an interruption"
   Not relevant here.

5. sense_key=check%1:09:01:: - "additional proof that something was believed is correct"
   Not relevant here.

6. sense_key=check%1:04:05:: - "the act of inspecting or verifying"
   Not relevant here.

7. sense_key=check%1:10:01:: - "a mark indicating that something has been noted"
   Not relevant here.

8-13: Various other senses, all irrelevant.
The answer is sense #1 - the written order directing a bank to pay money. Haney's monthly mailing to his wife for spousal support clearly refers to a bank check, the standard instrument for such recurring financial obligations.

The context clearly indicates this is a court-ordered spousal support payment. The key phrases are "monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly," where "separate" signals separation/divorce, and the payment is to his spouse. This matches the definition of sense 3: "court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated" (alimony), rather than general upkeep or subsistence.

Let me analyze the context for the word "maintenance".

The sentence is: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate <t>maintenance</t> to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

Key contextual clues:
- "monthly check" - it's a financial payment
- "to his wife Lolly" - it's being paid to his wife
- The text mentions "separate" before maintenance, which strongly suggests this is about spousal support
- The context seems to be about a divorced or separated couple

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=maintenance%1:04:00:: - "activity involved in maintaining something in good working order" (like car care) - NOT applicable here

2. sense_key=maintenance%1:21:00:: - "means of maintenance of a family or group" - This could potentially work, as it's about financial support

3. sense_key=maintenance%1:21:01:: - "court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated" with synonym "alimony" - This fits perfectly! The context mentions a "monthly check" paid to his wife, and the word "separate" is explicitly used. This is clearly alimony/spousal support.

4. sense_key=maintenance%1:04:01:: - "the act of sustaining life by food or providing a means of subsistence" - This could work, but it's more general and the examples are about food/fishing

5. sense_key=maintenance%1:04:02:: - "unauthorized interference in a legal action" - Clearly not applicable here

The best fit is sense 3 (maintenance%1:21:01::) because:
- It explicitly mentions "court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated"
- The synonym is "alimony"
- The context clearly shows a monthly check paid to his wife
- The word "separate" appears directly in the text, which is the precise legal terminology for this type of payment. This is sense 3.

The target word "wished" in context expresses Haney's hope or desire that the stranger (who has seemingly supernatural abilities) would do something about his wife. This aligns with sense 1: "hope for; have a wish," which captures the meaning of expressing a desire for something to happen in the future, similar to the example "I wish I could go home now."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context around "wished" to determine the correct sense.

Context: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

The sentence structure is "wished the stranger could do something about her [wife]". This means Haney is expressing a desire or hope that the stranger (referring to someone mentioned earlier in the text who seems to have supernatural powers - "the weirdy") would use those powers to do something about his wife (implying she's a problem for him).

Let me examine each sense:

1. "hope for; have a wish" - This is about hoping for something. The example "I wish I could go home now" shows a desire for something.

2. "prefer or wish to do something" - This is about preference. Synonyms are "care, like". This doesn't fit well here.

3. "make or express a wish" - This is about expressing a wish about a situation. Example "I wish that Christmas were over" - expresses a wish about a future event.

4. "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" - This is about expressing concern for someone's future or fortune. Synonyms include "wish well". This could fit.

5. "order politely; express a wish for" - This is about requesting something politely.

6. "invoke upon; bid" - This is about invoking something. Example "wish you a nice evening; bid farewell" - this is about saying something to someone.

Looking at the context again: "wished the stranger could do something about her"

This is expressing a hope/desire that the stranger would do something. The structure is "wished [that] the stranger could do something about her". This is similar to sense 1 or sense 3.
Sense 1 and sense 3 both fit the structure here. Sense 1 emphasizes the hopeful desire itself, while sense 3 emphasizes the act of expressing that wish. The phrasing "wished the stranger could do something" leans toward sense 1—Haney is simply hoping or desiring that the stranger would intervene with his wife.

The context shows Haney wishing that "the stranger" could do something about his wife. This refers to someone unknown to him personally—an individual he is not acquainted with. Sense 2 ("an individual that one is not acquainted with") is the appropriate choice, as the passage indicates this is someone Haney doesn't know, rather than someone who doesn't belong in a particular environment.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "stranger" best fits.

The sentence in question is: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the <t>stranger</t> 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 indicates that:
1. Haney is sending a maintenance check to his wife Lolly
2. He wishes "the stranger" could do something about "her" (presumably his wife)
3. There's a police car at his apartment building

Looking at the two senses:
1. Sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" - synonyms: alien, unknown
2. Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with"

In this context, "the stranger" appears to refer to someone unknown to Haney - someone Haney doesn't know or isn't acquainted with. He's wishing this unknown person could do something about his wife (which seems to involve an ongoing issue with her).

The use of "the stranger" with the definite article "the" suggests someone specific, yet unknown/unacquainted with. This fits sense 2 better - "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - because the context is clearly about someone Haney doesn't know personally.

Sense 1 talks about someone who doesn't belong in an environment, which is more about outsider status in a particular setting. Sense 2 is more about not being acquainted with someone.

Given the context where Haney is wishing an unknown person could help with his wife situation, sense 2 ("an individual that one is not acquainted with") seems to be the best fit.

Sense 2 is indexed as "sense_key=stranger%1:18:01::" so the sense_index would be 2.

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

The sentence is: "and wished the stranger could <t>do</t> something about her"

Context: Haney is mailing a monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly. He wishes the stranger (someone else) could do something about her (his wife Lolly).

The phrase "do something about" means to take action regarding something, to address or handle a situation.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "engage in" - synonyms: make - examples about making love/effort
2. "carry out or perform an action" - synonyms: perform, execute - this is about performing/executing an action
3. "get (something) done" - perform - examples: "I did my job"
4. "proceed or get along" - fare, make out, come, get along
5. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" - cause, make
6. "carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions" - practice
7. "be sufficient; be adequate" - suffice, answer, serve
8. "create or design" - make
9. "behave in a certain manner" - act, behave
10. "spend time in prison" - serve
11. "carry on or function" - manage
12. "arrange attractively" - dress, arrange
13. "travel or traverse" - travel

In "wished the stranger could do something about her," the speaker wishes the stranger could "do something" - this means to take some action or perform some action. This is most closely related to sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" with synonyms perform, execute.

Sense 3 "get (something) done" is also possible, but sense 2 seems more directly applicable to the general notion of "performing an action."

The answer should be sense 2 (index 2).

The phrase "Coming home from work" in context refers to arriving at or reaching home after work. Sense 2 ("reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress") with the synonym "arrive" and example "She arrived home at 7 o'clock" is the best match for this usage.

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

"Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed 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 sentence structure seems a bit unclear, but it appears to be saying something like "her coming home from work" - where "coming" refers to the action of returning/arriving home after work.

Looking at the sentence more carefully: "wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work" - this suggests that "coming" here means arriving at or reaching home after work.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=come%2:38:00:: - "move toward, travel toward something" - This could fit
2. sense_key=come%2:38:04:: - "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - This seems very fitting. "Coming home from work" clearly means arriving at home.
3. sense_key=come%2:30:01:: - "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" - This is more about events happening
4. sense_key=come%2:30:03:: - "reach or enter a state" - Not quite right
5-21. Various other senses that don't fit as well

The best match is sense 2 (come%2:38:04::) which is about "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" with the synonym "arrive" and examples like "She arrived home at 7 o'clock". This perfectly matches "coming home from work" - the person is arriving at home after work.

Wait, let me reconsider sense 1 as well. Sense 1 is "move toward, travel toward something" which is more about the movement/direction, whereas sense 2 is about actually "reaching a destination; arrive". The context "coming home from work" suggests completion of the arrival (reaching home), so sense 2 seems more appropriate than sense 1.
Sense 2 is the correct answer.

The context "Coming <t>home</t> from work" clearly refers to returning to the place where the person lives. This is the most straightforward use of "home" as a location or dwelling place where one resides at a particular time. The example "deliver the package to my home" is particularly analogous to this scenario of someone returning to their residence.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The phrase is "Coming home from work" in the sentence: "Coming <t>home</t> from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

This is about someone coming home from work. The context shows that "home" refers to where this person lives - specifically the apartment building mentioned. The person is coming back to their residence/dwelling after work.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "where you live at a particular time" - This fits! "home from work" suggests returning to the place where one lives.

2. "housing that someone is living in" - This is close but more about the physical structure/dwelling.

3. "the country or state or city where you live" - No, this doesn't fit. The context is specifically about coming to the apartment building.

4. Baseball sense - No, this is clearly not about baseball.

5. "the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end" - This is a military sense, doesn't fit.

6. "place where something began and flourished" - No, doesn't fit.

7. "an environment offering affection and security" - This is too metaphorical for this context.

8. "a social unit living together" - This is about the family/household unit itself, not the physical location.

9. "an institution where people are cared for" - No, this is about nursing homes.

The phrase "coming home from work" is clearly about returning to the place where one lives. Sense 1 "where you live at a particular time" is the best fit. This is a basic, concrete use of "home" to mean the physical location/residence.

Sense 2 could also work, but sense 1 seems more natural for the context "coming home from work" - it's about the place/location rather than the building/structure itself.
The answer is sense 1.

The phrase "coming home from work" refers to the person returning from their workplace. Sense 6 defines work as "a place where work is done" with the synonym "workplace" and the example "he arrived at work early today," which directly parallels the context of the sentence. The character is coming home from their place of employment.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "work":

"Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

In this context, "work" refers to where the character is coming from - specifically, the place of employment or job location. The phrase "coming home from work" is a common idiom that refers to returning from one's place of employment.

Let me evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=work%1:04:00:: | definition=activity directed toward making or doing something | examples=she checked several points needing further work
   - This could work, but it's more general activity

2. sense_key=work%1:06:00:: | definition=a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing
   - This doesn't fit - it's about a product/result

3. sense_key=work%1:04:01:: | definition=the occupation for which you are paid | synonyms=employment
   - This could fit - it's about employment/occupation

4. sense_key=work%1:09:00:: | definition=applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading)
   - This doesn't fit - it's about studying, not a job

5. sense_key=work%1:19:00:: | definition=(physics) a manifestation of energy...
   - This doesn't fit - it's a physics term

6. sense_key=work%1:06:01:: | definition=a place where work is done | synonyms=workplace | examples=he arrived at work early today
   - This fits! The example "he arrived at work early today" is very similar to "coming home from work"

7. sense_key=work%1:06:02:: | definition=the total output of a writer or artist
   - This doesn't fit

Between senses 3 and 6, sense 6 seems most appropriate since the example mirrors our phrase exactly—both describe arriving at or leaving from a workplace. While sense 3 (occupation/employment) could technically apply, the workplace location is the more direct referent in this sentence.

The context shows Phil being startled as he comes home from work and perceives a police car parked in front of his building. This is a straightforward case of visual perception—he sees (observes with his eyes) the police car. Sense 1 "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" is the most direct and appropriate match, consistent with the examples provided (e.g., "Can you see the bird in that tree?").

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully:

"Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

The key context here is:
- He was coming home from work
- He was startled to see something
- A police car parked in front of the apartment building

The word "see" here means to perceive something with sight - he looked at/perceived a police car. The action is perceiving the police car with his eyes.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - This is about basic visual perception. Examples: "You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?" - This fits well with the context.

2. "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" - This is about mental understanding, not visual perception.

3. "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - This could work, but it's more about witnessing an event.

4. "imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind" - This is about imagining, not literal perception.

5. "deem to be" - This is about considering/regarding.

6. "get to know or become aware of" - This is more about learning than visual perception.

7. "see or watch" - This is about watching, similar to #1 but explicitly includes "watch".

8. "come together/meet" - This is about encountering someone.

9. "find out, learn, or determine" - This is about investigation.

10. "be careful or certain to do something" - This is about ensuring.

And so on...

In this context, "startled to see a police car" clearly refers to perceiving the police car with his eyes. This is the most basic and literal sense of "see" - visual perception.

Sense 1 (perceive by sight) is the best fit. This is the basic visual perception sense, and it matches the context perfectly.
While sense 3 could technically apply as witnessing an event, sense 1 more directly captures the act of visual perception itself. The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence is: "Inside the <t>lobby</t>, people were standing around, talking excitedly."

The context shows that the character is coming home from work and enters his apartment building. A police car is parked outside, and he goes inside the building where there's a lobby.

Now let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. "a large entrance or reception room or area" with synonyms: anteroom, antechamber, entrance hall, hall, foyer, vestibule
   - This is the physical space at the entrance of a building

2. "the people who support some common cause or business or principle or sectional interest"
   - This refers to a group of people advocating for a cause

3. "a group of people who try actively to influence legislation"
   - This is also about a group of people trying to influence legislation

In the given context, the character enters the building and goes "Inside the lobby" where "people were standing around." The text is clearly referring to the physical space within the apartment building entrance, not to any political group or pressure group.

The context strongly supports sense 1 - the lobby as a physical entrance room or reception area. The synonyms like "entrance hall," "foyer," and "vestibule" all fit perfectly with what's described in the text.

So the answer is sense 1.

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

Context: "Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly."

The sentence describes a group of human beings (men, women, or children) who are standing in the lobby of an apartment building, talking excitedly. This appears to be a collection of various individuals/tenants in the building.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=people%1:14:00:: - "(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively" - Examples: "old people; there were at least 200 people in the audience". This is the most generic sense referring to a group of human beings.

2. sense_key=people%1:14:01:: - "the body of citizens of a state or country" - Examples: "the Spanish people". This refers to citizens of a nation.

3. sense_key=people%1:14:02:: - "members of a family line" - Examples: "his people have been farmers for generations; are your people still alive?". This refers to relatives or family members.

4. sense_key=people%1:14:03:: - "the common people generally" - Synonyms: "multitude, masses, mass, hoi polloi, the great unwashed". This refers to ordinary people as a class.

In the context, "people were standing around, talking excitedly" refers to a group of various individuals (presumably other tenants or neighbors) who gathered in the lobby. This is clearly sense 1 - a simple reference to a collective group of human beings without any specific connotation about their nationality, family relation, or class status.

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

The context describes people in a physical upright posture grouped in the lobby. The phrase "standing around, talking excitedly" indicates they are in the basic physical state of being upright and stationary. This matches sense 1 ("be standing; be upright"), which is the most straightforward interpretation of the word's literal physical meaning in this context.

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

"Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly."

The word "standing" here is describing people who are in an upright position in the lobby, grouped around and talking. They are not sitting or lying down - they are in a physical upright posture.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "be standing; be upright" - This describes the physical state of being upright, which matches the context
2. "be in some specified state or condition" - Too general and abstract
3. "occupy a place or location, also metaphorically" - Possible, but doesn't emphasize the upright physical position
4. "hold one's ground; maintain a position; be steadfast or upright" - This is more about maintaining a position or being steadfast, not just standing in place
5. "put up with something or somebody unpleasant" - Doesn't fit at all
6. "have or maintain a position or stand on an issue" - About opinions/positions, not physical stance
7. "remain inactive or immobile" - Could fit, but emphasizes immobility rather than the upright position
8. "be in effect; be or remain in force" - About laws/rules, doesn't fit
9. "be tall; have a height of; copula" - About height, not applicable here
10. "put into an upright position" - This is transitive, but our use is intransitive
11. "withstand the force of something" - About resistance, doesn't fit
12. "be available for stud services" - About animals, doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 1: "be standing; be upright" with examples "We had to stand for the entire performance!" This perfectly captures the physical state of people being upright and in a standing position in the lobby.

The context describes people "standing around, talking excitedly" in response to an incident. This depicts a conversational interaction among multiple people exchanging thoughts and discussing what happened. Sense 1 ("exchange thoughts; talk with") best captures this interpersonal communication dynamic, rather than sense 2 which is more about expressing oneself generally, or the other senses which involve lecturing, revealing secrets, or other specific contexts not present here.

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

Context: "Inside the lobby, people were standing around, <t>talking</t> excitedly."

This sentence describes people in a lobby standing around and engaging in conversation. They are talking excitedly, which suggests they are having a discussion or conversation with each other.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=talk%2:32:01:: | definition=exchange thoughts; talk with | synonyms=speak | examples=We often talk business; Actions talk louder than words
   - This is about exchanging thoughts or conversing with someone. This fits the context of people talking excitedly with each other.

2. sense_key=talk%2:32:00:: | definition=express in speech | synonyms=speak, utter, mouth, verbalize, verbalise | examples=She talks a lot of nonsense; This depressed patient does not verbalize
   - This is more about expressing something through speech, more general expression.

3. sense_key=talk%2:32:03:: | definition=use language | synonyms=speak | examples=the baby talks already; the prisoner won't speak
   - This is about the ability to use language, more basic/fundamental.

4. sense_key=talk%2:32:02:: | definition=reveal information | synonyms=spill | examples=If you don't oblige me, I'll talk!; The former employee spilled all the details
   - This is about revealing secrets or information, not applicable here.

5. sense_key=talk%2:32:06:: | definition=divulge confidential information or secrets | synonyms=spill the beans, let the cat out of the bag, tattle, blab, peach, babble | examples=Be careful--his secretary talks
   - This is about revealing secrets, not applicable.

6. sense_key=talk%2:32:05:: | definition=deliver a lecture or talk | synonyms=lecture | examples=She will talk at Rutgers next week; Did you ever lecture at Harvard?
   - This refers to formal presentations or lectures, which doesn't match the scene.

Sense 1 best captures the scenario—people exchanging thoughts and conversing with one another in an excited manner. While sense 2 could apply, it's too general; sense 1 specifically emphasizes the interpersonal, interactive nature of their communication.

The context describes "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition," which is an idiomatic expression describing a physical sensation of fear or dread running along the backbone. This clearly references the anatomical spine—the vertebral column—rather than any of the other senses (pointed projections, botanical spines, book spine, or animal appendages).

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

The sentence is: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

The phrase "spine crawled" is a figurative expression meaning that he felt a shivering sensation, goosebumps, or a tingling feeling along his back due to fear or dread. This is an idiomatic expression where "spine" refers to the backbone/back part of the body.

Let me examine each sense:

1. spine%1:08:00:: - "the series of vertebrae forming the axis of the skeleton and protecting the spinal cord" - This is the anatomical spine/backbone. The phrase "spine crawled" uses spine in the anatomical sense of the backbone, as it's referring to the physical sensation running along the backbone.

2. spine%1:25:00:: - "any sharply pointed projection" - This doesn't fit the context.

3. spine%1:20:00:: - "a small sharp-pointed tip resembling a spike on a stem or leaf" - This doesn't fit the context.

4. spine%1:06:00:: - "the part of a book's cover" - This doesn't fit the context.

5. spine%1:05:00:: - "a sharp rigid animal process or appendage" - This could refer to animal spines, but doesn't fit the context.

The idiom "one's spine crawled" or "it made my spine crawl" refers to a feeling of fear or dread that causes a physical sensation along the backbone. This is clearly referring to the anatomical spine (sense 1).

The answer should be sense 1.

Let me analyze the context of the sentence where "crawled" appears:

"His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

The phrase is "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition." This is describing a physical sensation caused by fear or dread.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. move slowly; crawl along the ground (like crocodile crawling) - doesn't fit, his spine isn't physically crawling on the ground
2. feel as if crawling with insects - "My skin crawled--I was terrified" - THIS fits! The example even mentions being terrified, which matches the foreboding premonition context
3. be full of (like cheese full of maggots) - doesn't fit the context
4. show submission or fear (fawn, cringe, cower, grovel) - could potentially fit with the fear aspect, but the context is more about a physical sensation
5. swim by doing the crawl - doesn't fit at all

The context is clearly describing a physical sensation of dread/fear - "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition." This matches sense 2, which is "feel as if crawling with insects" with the example "My skin crawled--I was terrified."

The answer is sense 2.

The context clearly indicates a feeling of dread or apprehension about an impending event. The phrase "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" emphasizes an emotional sensation of something bad to come, rather than factual information or warning about a specific future event. The adjective "foreboding" that directly precedes "premonition" is listed as a synonym for sense 1, reinforcing that this is about a feeling of evil to come, not an external warning.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses:

Context: The narrator is coming home from work and sees a police car. He feels his "spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" as he asks what happened. Then we learn the landlord had died.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=premonition%1:12:00:: | definition=a feeling of evil to come | synonyms=foreboding, presentiment, boding | examples=a steadily escalating sense of foreboding; the lawyer had a presentiment that the judge would dismiss the case

2. sense_key=premonition%1:10:00:: | definition=an early warning about a future event | synonyms=forewarning

Looking at the context:
- The narrator's "spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" - this is describing a feeling or sensation that something bad is about to happen
- The context emphasizes that he feels an emotional response (spine crawling - a physical manifestation of fear/dread)
- He doesn't yet know what happened, but he has a strong feeling that something is wrong
- The adjective "foreboding" is actually used right before "premonition" in the text, and "foreboding" is listed as a synonym for sense 1

Sense 1 describes "a feeling of evil to come" - this matches perfectly. It's about a feeling/emotional experience of dread or wrongness.

Sense 2 describes "an early warning about a future event" - this is more about receiving actual information/warning about something that will happen, rather than just a feeling.

Given that:
- The text explicitly uses "foreboding" which is a synonym for sense 1
- The context emphasizes the emotional/physical response ("spine crawled")
- The narrator hasn't received any actual warning or information yet, just has a gut feeling
- The first sense aligns with the visceral, intuitive nature of what he's experiencing rather than any concrete forewarning

Sense 1 is the correct choice.

The target word "asked" in context refers to the character addressing a question to one of his fellow tenants and expecting an answer ("what had happened"). Sense 5 ("address a question to and expect an answer from") best captures this usage, as it specifically describes asking a person for information by posing a question directly to them. The example "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" parallels the structure here.

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

In the sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he <t>asked</t> one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

The character is asking one of his fellow tenants "what had happened" - essentially seeking information about an event that occurred.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "inquire about" - to ask about something, seek information. Examples: "I asked about their special today; He had to ask directions several times"

2. "make a request or demand for something to somebody" - Example: "She asked him for a loan" - This is about requesting something you want.

3. "direct or put; seek an answer to" - Example: "ask a question" - This is about posing/asking a question.

4. "consider obligatory; request and expect" - Examples with "require" - This is about demanding or expecting something.

5. "address a question to and expect an answer from" - Examples: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother" - This is about addressing someone with a question expecting an answer.

6. "require as useful, just, or proper" - This is about needing/requiring (different meaning).

7. "require or ask for as a price or condition" - This is about asking for a price/payment.

In the context, he asked one of his fellow tenants "what had happened" - he is addressing a question to them and expecting an answer. This fits sense 5 perfectly: "address a question to and expect an answer from"

This is also similar to sense 1 (inquire about) and sense 3 (seek an answer to), but sense 5 seems the best match because it specifically emphasizes addressing a question to someone and expecting an answer, which is what's happening here.

The answer should be sense 5.

The word "fellow" in "fellow tenants" refers to people who share the same status or position—other tenants in the apartment building. This matches sense 3 ("a person who is member of one's class or profession"), which is exemplified by phrases like "fellow hackers" and captures the meaning of people who occupy the same role or category.

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

The sentence is: "...he asked one of his <t>fellow</t> tenants what had happened."

The context is that he's coming home from work and sees a police car. He asks "fellow tenants" - meaning other people who live in the same apartment building as him.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "a boy or man" - This is the most basic/general sense of fellow
2. "a friend who is frequently in the company of another" - This suggests a close relationship/companion
3. "a person who is member of one's class or profession" - This means someone who shares the same occupation, class, or profession
4. "one of a pair" - This doesn't fit at all
5. "a member of a learned society" - This is specific to academic/society membership
6. "an informal form of address for a man" - This would be used when directly addressing someone
7. "a man who is the lover of a girl or young woman" - This doesn't fit at all

The key phrase is "fellow tenants" - meaning other tenants. The word "fellow" here means people who share the same status/position, i.e., they're all tenants in the same building.

Looking at sense 3: "a person who is member of one's class or profession" with synonyms "colleague, confrere" and example "the surgeon consulted his colleagues; he sent e-mail to his fellow hackers" - the last example is particularly relevant. "Fellow hackers" is analogous to "fellow tenants" - people who share the same status or position.

So sense 3 is the best fit.

The context clearly establishes a landlord-tenant relationship in an apartment building setting. The narrator asks "one of his fellow tenants" what happened, indicating someone who rents from the landlord. This directly aligns with sense 1's definition of "someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else," which is the most straightforward and contextually appropriate meaning.

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

Context: The narrator is asking a fellow "tenant" what happened at the apartment building. This is set in an apartment building where the landlord (the owner) has died.

Let's examine each sense:

1. sense_key=tenant%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else | synonyms=renter
   - This refers to someone who pays rent to use a building owned by someone else
   - This is the most common, everyday understanding of tenant

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

3. sense_key=tenant%1:18:01:: | definition=any occupant who dwells in a place
   - This is a very general definition meaning anyone who lives somewhere
   - This is the most general sense

In the context of the story:
- There's a landlord (owner) who has died
- The narrator is living in an apartment building
- He asks "one of his fellow tenants" what happened
- This clearly indicates he is living in an apartment where he pays rent to a landlord

The context strongly suggests sense 1: someone who pays rent to use a building owned by someone else. This is the most straightforward interpretation given that:
1. There's an explicit landlord mentioned
2. They live in an apartment building
3. The tenant is a fellow resident who also would pay rent

Sense 3 (any occupant) is too broad and general.
Sense 2 (holder of buildings by any kind of title) is too formal/legal and doesn't fit the casual context of asking "fellow tenants."
The answer is sense 1 because the passage explicitly references a landlord and depicts a typical renter-landlord relationship in an apartment building setting.

The context shows someone asking "what had happened" in response to seeing a police car and people gathered in the lobby. This usage refers to asking what event occurred or came to pass (the landlord had died). This matches sense 1 ("come to pass") perfectly, which includes the synonym "occur" and the similar example "What is happening?" The other senses involve either chance occurrence (2, 3), becoming real (4), or encountering something (5), none of which fit this straightforward inquiry about what event took place.

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

Context: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died."

The speaker is asking what occurred/what happened - specifically, what event took place. The landlord had died, which is what "happened."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "come to pass" - synonyms: hap, go on, pass off, occur, pass, fall out. This is about events occurring. "What happened?" asking about what event occurred. This fits well.

2. "happen, occur, or be the case in the course of events or by chance" - Examples: "It happens that today is my birthday; These things befell" - This is more about chance occurrences or things that happen to someone.

3. "chance to be or do something, without intention or causation" - Examples: "I happen to have just what you need!" - This is about coincidentally having or being something.

4. "come into being; become reality" - Examples about dreams materializing. This is about things becoming real/existing.

5. "come upon, as if by accident; meet with" - Examples: "We find this idea in Plato; I happened upon the most wonderful bakery" - This is about encountering or finding something.

In the sentence "what had happened," the character is asking what event occurred or what took place. The landlord had died. This is asking about an event that came to pass.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "come to pass" with synonyms like "occur" and the example "What is happening?" which is very similar to the target usage "what had happened."

The answer should be sense index 1.

The context clearly indicates the landlord's literal death from falling off the roof. Sense 1 ("pass from physical life and lose all bodily attributes and functions necessary to sustain life") is the most appropriate sense, with examples like "She died from cancer" and "The children perished in the fire" that match the literal death scenario described in the passage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage describes a situation where "The landlord had died." According to the text, "Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection."

So the landlord literally fell off a roof and died - this is describing the end of physical life.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=die%2:30:00:: - "pass from physical life and lose all bodily attributes and functions necessary to sustain life" with examples like "She died from cancer; The children perished in the fire" - This fits perfectly. The landlord died from falling off the roof.

2. sense_key=die%2:39:00:: - "suffer or face the pain of death by an intense emotion" - Not applicable here.

3. sense_key=die%2:37:00:: - "be brought to or as if to the point of death by an intense emotion such as embarrassment, amusement, or shame" - Not applicable.

4. sense_key=die%2:30:04:: - "stop operating or functioning" - While this could technically apply to a body, it's not the primary meaning in this context.

5. sense_key=die%2:37:03:: - "feel indifferent towards" - Not applicable.

6. sense_key=die%2:37:01:: - "languish as with love or desire" - Not applicable.

7. sense_key=die%2:35:00:: - "cut or shape with a die" - Not applicable.

8. sense_key=die%2:33:00:: - "to be on base at the end of an inning" - Not applicable, this is about baseball.
The remaining senses don't fit either—losing sparkle, disappearing, or spiritual damnation aren't what's happening here. The first sense is the only one that matches: the landlord's physical life ended when he fell from the roof.
