**Explanation:** In the context "it just got stronger," the verb "got" means the earthquake/temblor entered a state of greater intensity. This corresponds to sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition," with the synonym "become." The phrase can be paraphrased as "it just became stronger," which clearly fits this sense of expressing a change of state.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "got" in this sentence:

"This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

The context is about an earthquake (temblor) that was happening. The speaker is describing how the shaking intensified - "it just got stronger."

So we need to find which sense of "get" means something becoming or entering a state or condition. Looking at the options:

1. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" - No, this doesn't fit
2. "enter or assume a certain state or condition" - YES! This fits perfectly. "Got stronger" means "became stronger" or "entered a stronger state"
3. "cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition" - This is about causing something to happen, not fitting the context
4. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" - No
5. "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - No
...
15. "give certain properties to something" - No
...

Sense 2 is clearly the best fit. The definition "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with synonyms "become, go" is exactly what we need here. "It got stronger" = "it became stronger" = "it entered a stronger state."

The answer should be sense index 2.

The context clearly describes the physical structure of the watering hole (bar) shaking during an earthquake. The sentence "the building started shaking violently up and down" refers to the concrete edifice itself, not the act of construction, the construction industry, or the occupants. This matches sense 1: "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place."

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

Context: "This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

The person is in a watering hole (a bar) experiencing an earthquake. The building is shaking violently. The building here refers to the physical structure of the establishment where the person is located.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=building%1:06:00:: - "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place" - This is clearly the right definition. The building is the physical structure shaking during an earthquake.

2. sense_key=building%1:04:00:: - "the act of constructing something" - This would be used in a sentence like "The building of the bridge took several years." Not applicable here.

3. sense_key=building%1:04:01:: - "the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones" - This refers to the building industry. Not applicable here.

4. sense_key=building%1:14:00:: - "the occupants of a building" - This would be used in a sentence like "The building complained about the noise." The context here doesn't suggest we're talking about the people in the building.

The answer is clearly sense 1 - the physical structure itself is shaking during the earthquake.

Let me analyze the context to understand what "started" means in this sentence.

The context is: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

Here, "started" indicates that the building began shaking violently. This is about the building beginning to shake, as a result of the earthquake.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - This is about beginning to do something voluntarily
2. "set in motion, cause to start" - This is about causing something to begin
3. "leave" - Not relevant here
4. "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - This is about something beginning to exist or occur
5. "bring into being" - About creating something new
6. "get off the ground" - About starting an enterprise or venture
7. "move or jump suddenly, as if in surprise or alarm" - About startle/jumping
8. "get going or set in motion" - About causing something to start moving
9. "begin or set in motion" - About something beginning
10. "begin work or acting in a certain capacity" - About starting a job
11. "play in the starting lineup" - Sports context
12. "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" - Similar to 4
13. "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" - About starting something like an activity
14. "bulge outward" - Not relevant

The key is that the building "started shaking" - this is the building beginning to shake. The sense that best fits is sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" with synonyms "begin" and example "The DMZ begins right over the hill". The building's shaking has a beginning at this moment.
Sense 9 also works—"begin or set in motion" with the intransitive usage shown in "I start at eight in the morning." This captures the building commencing its shaking motion. Between the two, sense 9 fits better since it describes the action itself beginning, rather than just the abstract notion of a beginning.

The building is shaking "violently up and down" during an earthquake. This describes a rapid and intensive vibration characteristic of seismic movement, which best matches sense 3 ("shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively"). The context emphasizes the violent and continuous nature of the movement, rather than simple back-and-forth motion or tremors.

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

The context describes an earthquake (temblor) where "the building started <t>shaking</t> violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

Key details:
- The building is shaking
- It's shaking violently
- The motion is described as up and down
- It's compared to a toy block being tossed
- This is happening during an earthquake

Now let me evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=shake%2:38:00:: | definition=move or cause to move back and forth | synonyms=agitate | examples=The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking
   - This is about moving back and forth
   - The examples include shaking hands or a flask

2. sense_key=shake%2:29:00:: | definition=move with or as if with a tremor | synonyms=didder | examples=his hands shook
   - This is about moving with a tremor
   - Seems to fit the earthquake context

3. sense_key=shake%2:38:01:: | definition=shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively | synonyms=judder | examples=The old engine was juddering
   - This is about rapid and intensive vibration
   - Could fit the "shaking violently" description

4. sense_key=shake%2:38:02:: | definition=move back and forth or sideways | synonyms=rock, sway | examples=the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed
   - This is about moving back and forth or sideways
   - The example mentions "tall building" which is relevant

5. sense_key=shake%2:30:00:: | definition=undermine or cause to waver | examples=my faith has been shaken
   - This is metaphorical, not about physical movement

The remaining senses are primarily metaphorical or non-physical: sense 6 deals with emotional disturbance, sense 7 involves removing or escaping from something, sense 8 refers to changing a condition through shaking, and sense 9 concerns using a body part to communicate.

For the earthquake scenario, the most applicable senses are the physical ones. Sense 2 (move with or as if with a tremor) aligns well with earthquake activity, while sense 3 (shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively) captures the violent, rapid movement described. Given that the building is moving up and down violently, sense 3 seems most precise—the "vibrate rapidly and intensively" definition directly matches the intense shaking motion. Sense 2 would also work since earthquakes produce tremors, but sense 3 better captures the intensity and speed of the movement.

The word "child" in "child's toy block" refers to a young person. The context describes a typical toy that a young person would play with, making sense 1 (a young person of either sex) the most appropriate. This is contrasted with the other senses: sense 2 emphasizes biological offspring regardless of age, sense 3 refers to immaturity as a character trait, and sense 4 refers to tribal membership.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage is describing an earthquake, and the narrator is comparing how the building is shaking "as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

The word "child's" is being used as a possessive modifier before "toy block". So we're looking at what sense of "child" is being used here.

Let me examine the senses:

1. sense_key=child%1:18:00:: | definition=a young person of either sex | synonyms=kid, youngster, minor, shaver, nipper, small fry | examples=she writes books for children; they're just kids

2. sense_key=child%1:18:01:: | definition=a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age | synonyms=kid | examples=they had three children; they were able to send their kids to college

3. sense_key=child%1:18:06:: | definition=an immature childish person | synonyms=baby | examples=he remained a child in practical matters as long as he lived; stop being a baby!

4. sense_key=child%1:18:07:: | definition=a member of a clan or tribe | examples=the children of Israel

In the context "a child's toy block," we're referring to a toy that belongs to or is typical of a small person (a young person). This is clearly referring to sense 1 - "a young person of either sex". The phrase "child's toy block" makes sense because children play with toy blocks, not because of any other meaning.

Sense 2 could also work since it refers to human offspring, but sense 1 is more specific and natural in this context - we're talking about toys that young people use.

Sense 3 is about immaturity/childishness, not about actual young people.
Sense 4 refers to tribal membership, which doesn't apply here. The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence says:

"the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed"

The word "toy" is being used to modify "block" - it's describing what kind of block is being referred to. A toy block is a small, miniature block that children play with.

Let me look at each candidate sense:

1. "an artifact designed to be played with" (plaything) - This is a general definition of toys, but in context we're talking about a toy block specifically, not just any toy.

2. "a nonfunctional replica of something else (frequently used as a modifier)" with example "a toy stove" - This fits well! A toy block is indeed a nonfunctional replica of a building block, used as a modifier. The example of "toy stove" is very similar to "toy block" - both are smaller, nonfunctional versions of the real thing.

3. "a device regarded as providing amusement" - This could fit, but it's more general.

4. "a copy that reproduces a person or thing in greatly reduced size" (miniature) - This is close, as a toy block is a reduced size copy, but the definition says it's about reproducing something in "greatly reduced size," which is more about miniatures.

5. "any of several breeds of very small dogs" - This is clearly not applicable here.

The best fit is sense 2, which emphasizes that "toy" is being used as a modifier to describe a nonfunctional replica of something. A toy block is exactly that - a nonfunctional replica of a real block used as a toy. The example "toy stove" is parallel in structure and meaning.

The answer should be index 2.

The context describes the building shaking "as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." This clearly refers to a concrete solid object—specifically a toy block—which matches sense 1: "a solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides)." The comparison emphasizes the toy's physical form being thrown around during the earthquake.

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

Context: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy <t>block</t> that was being tossed."

The person is describing the building shaking like a child's toy. They're comparing the building to a toy block that is being tossed around.

Let me go through the senses:

1. A solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides) - This could work for a toy block
2. A rectangular area in a city - No, doesn't fit
3. A three-dimensional shape with six square or rectangular sides (cube) - This could fit, but it's more specific
4. A number or quantity of related things - No
5. Housing in a large building - No
6. Computer science term - No
7. Mental block - No
8. Simple machine/pulley - No
9. Engine block - No
10. Obstruction in a pipe - No
11. Platform for auctioneer - No
12. Act of obstructing - No

The key phrase is "child's toy block." This clearly refers to a toy block, which is a solid piece of something with flat rectangular sides - exactly sense 1.

Sense 1: "a solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides)" with example "the pyramids were built with large stone blocks" fits perfectly.

Sense 3 (cube) is more abstract and geometric, while sense 1 is more concrete about the physical object.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context describes the building "shaking violently up and down" during an earthquake. The verb "tossed" here refers to the violent, continuous movement and agitation of the structure, not a light throw or casual toss. This matches sense 4, which defines "toss" as "move or stir about violently," with synonyms like "convulse" and "thrash" and examples of violent physical movement.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "tossed" in this sentence:

"the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

The sentence describes the building being shaken violently up and down during an earthquake, compared to a toy block being tossed.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=toss%2:35:04:: | definition=throw or toss with a light motion | synonyms=flip, sky, pitch | examples=flip me the beachball
   - This is about throwing with a LIGHT motion - not appropriate here since it's violent

2. sense_key=toss%2:38:00:: | definition=lightly throw to see which side comes up | synonyms=flip | examples=flip a coin
   - This is about coin flipping - not relevant

3. sense_key=toss%2:35:05:: | definition=throw carelessly | synonyms=chuck | examples=chuck the ball
   - This is about throwing carelessly, but the context is about violent shaking

4. sense_key=toss%2:38:01:: | definition=move or stir about violently | synonyms=convulse, thresh, thrash, thrash about, slash | examples=The feverish patient thrashed around in his bed
   - This is about violent movement/agitation - this matches "shaking violently up and down"

5. sense_key=toss%2:40:00:: | definition=throw or cast away | synonyms=discard, fling, cast aside | examples=Put away your worries
   - This is about discarding/throwing away - not relevant

6. sense_key=toss%2:35:00:: | definition=agitate | examples=toss the salad
   - This is about agitation but more like mixing (salad)

The key context is "shaking violently up and down" - the building is being moved/stirred about violently.

Sense 4 is the clear match here. It captures the violent, convulsive movement described in the sentence, with synonyms like "thrash" and "convulse" that align perfectly with how the building is being shaken during the earthquake.

The context describes a person being physically present inside the Berkeley Main Library during an earthquake, worried about structural elements like windows. The reference is to an actual building housing a collection of books and materials, not merely a room or an abstract collection of documents. Sense 5 directly defines library as "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials," which perfectly matches this concrete, physical location context.

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

The context states: "I was in the Berkeley Main library when it hit [the earthquake]."

This is clearly referring to a physical location - the Berkeley Main Library, which is a well-known building. The passage discusses being inside this building during an earthquake, worried about windows buckling and showering glass.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "a room where books are kept" - This is too narrow; the Berkeley Main Library is not just a room, it's a building.

2. "a collection of literary documents or records kept for reference or borrowing" - This is about a collection, not necessarily a physical building.

3. "a depository built to contain books and other materials for reading and study" - This emphasizes it as a building ("built to contain"), which fits the context of being a physical place where someone could be during an earthquake.

4. "(computing) a collection of standard programs and subroutines" - This is clearly not relevant; the context is not about computing.

5. "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials" - This explicitly mentions a building, which fits perfectly with the context of being physically present in the Berkeley Main Library during an earthquake.

Between 3 and 5, both describe a building. However:
- Sense 5 is more explicitly about "a building that houses a collection"
- Sense 3 is "a depository built to contain books" with synonyms "depository library"

Both seem appropriate, but sense 5 is the most direct and clear definition of what the person is referring to - they were physically in a building (the Berkeley Main Library). Sense 5 explicitly says "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials," which is the most natural interpretation.

I'll go with sense 5, which is indexed as 5.

The earthquake "hit" the Berkeley Main library, meaning it suddenly affected that location adversely. This matches sense 5 ("affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely") perfectly, as demonstrated by the provided example "We were hit by really bad weather," which is parallel in structure and meaning to the earthquake context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The passage describes an earthquake. The sentence in question is: "I was in the Berkeley Main library when it <t>hit</t>."

In this context, "hit" refers to when the earthquake reached/struck the location (Berkeley Main library). The person is describing when the earthquake suddenly affected them.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "cause to move by striking" - hitting a ball. Not quite right.
2. "hit against; come into sudden contact with" - the car hit a tree. This could work - the earthquake came into sudden contact with the library.
3. "deal a blow to" - hitting someone hard. Not quite right.
4. "reach a destination" - we hit Detroit by noon. This is about reaching a destination. The earthquake "reached" the library.
5. "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" - hit by bad weather, struck with cancer. This fits perfectly! The earthquake affected them suddenly.
6. "hit with a missile" - not relevant.
7. "encounter by chance" - stumbled across a cousin. Not quite right.
8. "gain points in a game" - scoring in sports. Not relevant.
9. "cause to experience suddenly" - panic struck me. This could also work!
10. "make a strategic, offensive assault" - strike Poland. Not relevant.
11. "kill intentionally" - murder. Not relevant.
12. "drive something violently into a location" - hit fist on table. Not quite right.
13. "reach a point in time or state" - thermometer hit 100. Could work.
14. "produce by manipulating keys" - piano strike. Not relevant.
15. "consume to excess" - hit the bottle. Not relevant.
16. "hit the intended target" - not enough definition provided.
17. "pay unwanted sexual attention" - not relevant.

The best matches are:
- Sense 5: "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" with example "We were hit by really bad weather"
- Sense 9: "cause to experience suddenly" with example "Panic struck me"

Sense 5 is the stronger fit because it directly parallels natural phenomena impacting people and places, explicitly uses "strike" as a synonym, and the weather example maps closely onto an earthquake scenario. While sense 9 captures the sudden experiential aspect, sense 5 more precisely captures the adverse natural event striking a location.

The word "Endless" in this context describes the subjective experience of time during the earthquake - the seconds felt "tiresomely long; seemingly without end" as the speaker anxiously waited to see if the library windows would break. This matches sense 1's definition of "tiresomely long; seemingly without end" with synonyms like "eternal, interminable." The speaker is expressing how psychological time stretched during this stressful moment, not making a literal statement about infinite duration or a continuous physical loop.

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

"Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass."

The speaker is describing their experience during an earthquake in the Berkeley Main library. They're talking about how the seconds felt during the earthquake - long, seemingly stretching on. They're waiting anxiously to see if the windows would break and hurt them.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=endless%5:00:00:long:02 | definition=tiresomely long; seemingly without end | synonyms=eternal, interminable | examples=endless debates; an endless conversation
   - This fits the context well. The seconds felt long and endless - dragging on, seemingly without end. The person was anxious waiting, and the time felt like it stretched forever.

2. sense_key=endless%5:00:02:infinite:00 | definition=infinitely great in number | examples=endless waves
   - This could work if we're talking about infinite number of seconds, but it's less likely given the context.

3. sense_key=endless%5:00:00:infinite:00 | definition=having no known beginning and presumably no end | synonyms=dateless, sempiternal | examples=the dateless rise and fall of the tides; time is endless
   - This is more about eternity and the nature of time itself, which doesn't fit the specific context as well.

4. sense_key=endless%5:00:00:continuous:01 | definition=having the ends united so as to form a continuous whole | examples=an endless chain
   - This is about the physical structure (no beginning or end point), not applicable here.

The best fit is sense 1. The speaker is using "Endless" to describe how the seconds felt subjectively - long, dragging, seemingly without end.

The first definition captures this perfectly—those moments of dread during the earthquake made time feel drawn out and interminable, matching the anxious waiting scenario.

The phrase "Endless seconds" in the context of an earthquake describes an indefinite period of anxious time during which the speaker feared the windows would break. This is not a literal measurement of time units but rather an idiomatic expression capturing a subjective experience of time—a moment or period of indefinite duration. This matches sense 2: "an indefinitely short time" with synonyms like "moment" and examples such as "wait just a moment."

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

Context: "Endless <t>seconds</t> wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass."

The speaker is describing their experience during an earthquake. They're talking about an indefinite amount of time that felt very long, during which they were worried about the windows breaking. The phrase "Endless seconds" suggests a feeling of time lasting a long time (though seconds normally pass quickly), implying a subjective experience of uncertainty and worry.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=second%1:28:00:: | definition=1/60 of a minute; the basic unit of time adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites
   - This is a literal unit of time (60 seconds = 1 minute). While the word "seconds" could literally refer to the time unit, the phrase "endless seconds" suggests something more subjective.

2. sense_key=second%1:28:01:: | definition=an indefinitely short time | synonyms=moment, mo, minute, bit

The context shows the speaker experiencing an earthquake and questioning whether the windows will break ("wondering if those huge windows would buckle"). This expresses doubtful speculation about an uncertain outcome during a dangerous moment, which aligns with sense 2. The structural similarity to the example "I wonder whether it would snow tonight" (expressing uncertainty about a future event) confirms this interpretation. Sense 1 would be seeking information about a fact, and sense 3 would require amazement, neither of which applies here.

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

"Endless seconds <t>wondering</t> if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass."

The speaker is describing being in an earthquake in the Berkeley Main library. They're experiencing a situation where they're uncertain about what will happen - specifically questioning whether the windows will break.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "have a wish or desire to know something" - This is about wanting to know something, with examples like "He wondered who had built this beautiful church." This is asking a question to gain information.

2. "place in doubt or express doubtful speculation" - This is about expressing doubt or speculation, with examples like "I wonder whether this was the right thing to do; she wondered whether it would snow tonight." This fits the context of the speaker questioning whether the windows would buckle.

3. "be amazed at" - This means to marvel at something amazing. Example: "We marvelled at the child's linguistic abilities."

In the sentence "Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass," the speaker is:
- Uncertain about whether the windows will break
- Experiencing doubt and speculation during the earthquake
- Not expressing a wish to know something in the sense of asking a question
- Not expressing amazement

This best fits sense 2: "place in doubt or express doubtful speculation" - the speaker is speculating doubtfully about whether the windows would buckle. The example "I wonder whether it would snow tonight" is very similar in structure and meaning to "wondering if those huge windows would buckle."

Sense 1 would be more like "I wonder who built this church" (asking a question to find information), which is different from the doubtful speculation here.

Sense 3 would require amazement, which isn't present.

The answer is sense 2.

The context describes large windows in the Berkeley Main library during an earthquake that the speaker fears could "buckle and shower us with glass." This refers to the architectural windows built into the library's walls—the complete framework with glass panes designed to admit light and air into the building. Sense 1 is the most appropriate as it encompasses the whole window structure rather than just the glass pane (sense 6) or specialized meanings.

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

The context is about an earthquake in the Berkeley Main library. The speaker is describing the experience: "Endless seconds wondering if those huge <t>windows</t> would buckle and shower us with glass."

The speaker is worried about large windows in the library building that could break and shower them with glass. This is clearly referring to the physical windows in the library building - the structures that let light and air in.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "a framework of wood or metal that contains a glass windowpane and is built into a wall or roof to admit light or air" - This is the standard architectural window frame and pane
2. "a transparent opening in a vehicle" - Not applicable, this is a building
3. "a transparent panel inserted in otherwise opaque material" - Like a window in an envelope, not applicable
4. "an opening that resembles a window in appearance or function" - Metaphorical, not applicable
5. "the time period that is considered best for starting or finishing something" - Abstract meaning, not applicable
6. "a pane of glass in a window" - This is specifically the glass pane itself
7. "an opening in a wall or screen that admits light and air and through which customers can be served" - Like a service window, not applicable here
8. "(computer science) a rectangular part of a computer screen" - Not applicable

The context mentions "huge windows" that could "buckle and shower us with glass." The concern is about the glass breaking from the shaking, so they're referring to the entire window structure.

Sense 1 is the most comprehensive - "a framework of wood or metal that contains a glass windowpane and is built into a wall or roof to admit light or air" - this covers the whole window structure.

Sense 6 specifically refers to just "a pane of glass in a window" - which would be just the glass part.

Given the context mentions the windows potentially buckling and showering with glass, it seems like they're referring to the entire window structure that could break, not just the pane. Sense 1 is the best fit.
The answer is 1.

The context describes an earthquake with violent shaking. The speaker is concerned that large windows would "buckle and shower us with glass." In this scenario, buckling refers to the windows bending or warping out of shape under the structural stress of the earthquake. This matches sense 3 (bend out of shape, as under pressure), which is analogous to the example of a highway buckling during a heat wave. Sense 1 (fasten) is irrelevant, and while sense 2 (collapse) is somewhat plausible, sense 3 more precisely captures how architectural materials deform under physical stress.

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

The sentence is: "Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass."

The context is about an earthquake where the building is shaking violently. The speaker is concerned that the large windows might buckle.

Let me examine the three candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=buckle%2:35:00::** | definition=fasten with a buckle or buckles | synonyms=clasp
   - This is about fastening something with a buckle (like a belt buckle)
   - This doesn't fit the context at all

2. **sense_key=buckle%2:35:01::** | definition=fold or collapse | synonyms=crumple | examples=His knees buckled
   - This means to fold, collapse, or give way
   - Example: "His knees buckled" means his knees collapsed or gave way
   - In the context, windows buckling could mean they collapse or fold
   - This is plausible

3. **sense_key=buckle%2:30:00::** | definition=bend out of shape, as under pressure or from heat | synonyms=heave, warp | examples=The highway buckled during the heat wave
   - This is about bending out of shape under pressure
   - Example: "The highway buckled during the heat wave" - the highway bent and warped from heat
   - In the context of an earthquake with violent shaking, windows buckling would mean bending out of their normal shape
   - This fits very well

Given the context of an earthquake with strong vibrations, sense 3 (bend out of shape, as under pressure) seems most appropriate. The windows would bend or warp from the stress of the earthquake, similar to how a highway buckles from heat stress. This is the most natural interpretation in the context of structural stress from an earthquake.
The correct answer is sense 3.

Let me analyze the context and the target word "shower" carefully.

The context is: "Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass."

This is describing a potential earthquake scenario where windows might break and scatter glass.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "expend profusely; also used with abstract nouns" - with example "He was showered with praise" - This is about being covered with something metaphorically or abundantly.

2. "spray or sprinkle with" - with example "The guests showered rice on the couple" - This is about spraying or sprinkling something on someone/something.

3. "take a shower; wash one's body in the shower" - This is clearly about the bathing activity, not relevant here.

4. "rain abundantly" - with example "Meteors showered down over half of Australia" - This is about things falling/raining down in abundance.

5. "provide abundantly with" - with example "He showered her with presents" - This is about providing something abundantly.

In the context "shower us with glass," the glass would be scattered/sprayed on them if the windows broke. This is describing a large amount of glass coming down on the people.

The phrase "shower us with glass" is about glass falling/raining down on them, or being scattered on them.

Sense 2 "spray or sprinkle with" seems most fitting - it's about the action of glass being sprayed or scattered on the people.

Sense 4 "rain abundantly" could also work - things (glass) showering/raining down.

Sense 1 and 5 seem more metaphorical about bestowing/providing something abundantly, which doesn't fit as well with glass being scattered.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "spray or sprinkle with" - this directly describes glass being sprayed/scattered on people.
Both senses 2 and 4 capture the physical action here—glass either being sprayed directly onto them or falling down like rain. Sense 2 best captures the immediate scattering effect of breaking windows.

The context describes an earthquake where the speaker fears windows would break and "shower us with glass." The word refers to the brittle transparent material from the windows that would shatter and fall. This is sense 1: glass as a brittle transparent solid substance, not a container, mirror, or any other specialized meaning.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze this context carefully.

The context is about an earthquake in the Berkeley Main library. The speaker is worried about "huge windows" that would "buckle and shower us with glass."

In this context, "glass" refers to the material that breaks from the windows - the shattered glass fragments that would fall on people during the earthquake. This is talking about glass as a brittle transparent solid material.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure" - This is the material sense of glass, which matches the context
2. "a container for holding liquids while drinking" - This would be drinking glasses, not relevant
3. "the quantity a glass will hold" - Not relevant
4. "a small refracting telescope" - Not relevant
5. "an amphetamine derivative" - Not relevant
6. "a mirror" - Not relevant
7. "glassware collectively" - This could refer to glass items, but the context is specifically about window glass breaking, not glassware in general

The phrase "shower us with glass" refers to broken fragments of the transparent material from the windows. This is clearly sense 1 - glass as a brittle transparent solid material.

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

The context describes books physically falling in a library during an earthquake ("Only a few books fell in the reading room"). This emphasizes the books as physical objects—bound pages that can be knocked off shelves—rather than as written compositions or intellectual works. Sense 2's definition of "physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together" with the synonym "volume" best captures this tangible, material aspect that is central to the sentence.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "books" is most appropriate.

From the context: "Only a few books fell in the reading room."

This is describing physical books in a library (Berkeley Main library is mentioned) that fell during an earthquake. The user is describing how some books physically fell from shelves.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "a written work or composition that has been published" - This is the published work/composition sense
2. "physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together" - This emphasizes the physical object aspect with synonym "volume"
3. "a compilation of the known facts regarding something or someone" - This is about records/record books
4. "a written version of a play or other dramatic composition" - This is about scripts/plays
5. "a record in which commercial accounts are recorded" - This is about ledgers/accounting
6. "a collection of playing cards" - This is about card games
7. "a collection of rules or prescribed standards" - This is about rule books
8-11. Various specialized meanings (Quran, Bible, divisions of texts, ticket books, etc.)

In the context, the books are physical objects in a library that fell during an earthquake. The most appropriate sense is sense 2: "physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together" because:
- The context emphasizes them as physical objects that "fell"
- They are in a library reading room
- The synonym "volume" fits well
- This emphasizes the physical, tangible nature rather than the intellectual work

Sense 1 could also work, but it emphasizes the "written work or composition" rather than the physical object. Given that the text focuses on the books physically falling, sense 2 is more precise.

The answer is sense 2.

The context describes books falling from shelves/surfaces in a library during an earthquake due to the violent shaking. This is a straightforward case of objects descending under the influence of gravity, which precisely matches sense 1: "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity." The example "The branch fell from the tree" is particularly analogous to books falling from library shelves.

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

Context: "Only a few books fell in the reading room."

This sentence describes what happened during an earthquake in a library. Books physically dropped from surfaces (shelves) to the ground due to the shaking.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity" - Examples: "The branch fell from the tree; The unfortunate hiker fell into a crevasse" - This matches the physical falling of objects.

2. "move downward and lower, but not necessarily all the way" - This is more general movement downward.

3. "pass suddenly and passively into a state of body or mind" - Not applicable here.

4. "come under, be classified or included" - Not applicable.

5. "fall from clouds" - About precipitation, not applicable.

6-14. Various other meanings not applicable to physical objects falling.

15. "move in a specified direction" - Could apply, but less specific.

16-22. Various other meanings not applicable.

23. "lose an upright position suddenly" - This could also apply - the books lose their upright position on shelves.

24. "drop oneself to a lower or less erect position" - More about intentional actions.

25-32. Various other meanings not applicable.

The most specific and best match is sense 1 (fall%2:38:03::) which explicitly describes "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity" and has examples of books/branches falling from places. Sense 23 about "lose an upright position suddenly" could also work, but sense 1 is more directly about the physical falling action caused by gravity.

Given that books fell due to the earthquake's shaking (gravity-induced), sense 1 is the best choice.

12:06 a.m. HRH: I was in the Berkeley Main library when it hit. Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass. Only a few books fell in the reading room. Then the auto <t>paint</t> shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air. 12:07 a.m.

The context "auto paint shop fire" clearly refers to paint as a substance used for coating automobiles. This matches sense 1, which defines paint as "a substance used as a coating to protect or decorate a surface." The mention of a fire and black smoke in an auto shop reinforces that this is about the protective coating material, not makeup (sense 3) or a basketball court area (sense 2).

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

The sentence mentions: "the auto <t>paint</t> shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air."

This is referring to an "auto paint shop" - a shop that deals with painting automobiles. The context of a fire in such a shop and black smoke being produced suggests this is about the substance used to coat/paint cars.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=paint%1:06:00:: - "a substance used as a coating to protect or decorate a surface (especially a mixture of pigment suspended in a liquid); dries to form a hard coating" - This matches perfectly. An auto paint shop is a place where paint (the substance) is applied to vehicles.

2. sense_key=paint%1:15:00:: - This is about basketball, specifically the key/paint area on a basketball court. This makes no sense in context with "auto paint shop."

3. sense_key=paint%1:06:01:: - This is about makeup (rouge/blusher). This makes no sense for an auto paint shop.

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, which refers to the coating substance used in auto shops. The answer should be sense index 1.
