The context shows the character "had already quite forgotten about him" regarding the landlord - meaning he has deliberately put the grievance and the landlord out of his mind and stopped thinking about them. This matches sense 1's definition of "dismiss from the mind; stop remembering," where the character has moved past his complaint and is no longer focusing on or remembering the landlord. The use of "already quite forgotten" suggests a deliberate mental dismissal rather than an inability to recall.

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

The relevant sentence is: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord. He had already quite forgotten about him."

The character is talking about a grievance (complaint) against the landlord. The speaker says he has "forgotten about him" - meaning he is no longer remembering or thinking about the landlord.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "dismiss from the mind; stop remembering" - This suggests actively putting something out of one's mind, dismissing it mentally. The synonym "bury" reinforces this as deliberate forgetting.

2. "be unable to remember" - This suggests a failure of memory, like drawing a blank or blocking something out.

3. "forget to do something" - This is about forgetting an action or task one was supposed to do. This doesn't fit here since the context is about forgetting about a person.

4. "leave behind unintentionally" - This is about physically leaving something behind. This doesn't fit the context of forgetting about someone mentally.

The context suggests the character has put the grievance and the landlord out of his mind. The phrase "had already quite forgotten" suggests a state of no longer remembering or thinking about it.

Looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 emphasizes "dismiss from the mind" which implies active effort to put it aside
- Sense 2 emphasizes "be unable to remember" which is more passive

The context says he "had already quite forgotten about him" - he has moved past thinking about it. This seems closer to sense 1 (dismiss from the mind; stop remembering) where "stop remembering" is the key phrase. However, sense 2 (be unable to remember) also fits if we interpret it as he simply doesn't remember anymore.

The word "dismiss" in sense 1's definition seems more deliberate/intentional. The context of "had already quite forgotten" suggests he has put it out of his mind and is not thinking about it anymore. This leans toward sense 1 - deliberately dismissing it from his mind.
Reconsidering the past tense construction "had forgotten," I'm drawn back to sense 2 as the more straightforward reading—he's reached a state where he no longer remembers. Yet the phrase "stop remembering" in sense 1 better captures the narrative arc of moving past the grievance. Sense 1 seems the stronger fit.

The context shows that the character "had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment," indicating a casual, incidental reference made spontaneously. This matches sense 1's definition "make reference to" with synonyms like "bring up" and "refer," which captures the act of casually bringing someone up in conversation. The other senses don't fit: sense 2 (observe/note) doesn't align with the spontaneous, brief nature of the action, and sense 3 (commend) is clearly inappropriate given the pejorative context of a "grievance."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence is: "In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment."

The context tells us that he mentioned the landlord on the spur of the moment - meaning he brought him up or made reference to him, but not in a deeply thought-out way. He had forgotten about the landlord and only mentioned him casually/spontaneously.

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=mention%2:32:02:: | definition=make reference to | synonyms=advert, bring up, cite, name, refer | examples=His name was mentioned in connection with the invention
   - This means to bring up or refer to something

2. sense_key=mention%2:32:00:: | definition=make mention of | synonyms=note, observe, remark | examples=She observed that his presentation took up too much time; They noted that it was a fine day to go sailing
   - This means to make mention of, note, observe, remark - seems more focused on noting something

3. sense_key=mention%2:32:01:: | definition=commend | synonyms=cite | examples=he was cited for his outstanding achievements
   - This means to commend or praise

In the context, "mentioned him on the spur of the moment" clearly means he brought him up or made reference to him casually. This aligns best with sense 1, which includes synonyms like "bring up," "refer," and the definition "make reference to." The example "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention" also matches the pattern of usage in our context.

Sense 2 seems to focus more on observing or noting something, which doesn't quite fit.

Sense 3 is about commending/praising, which definitely doesn't fit this context.

The best answer is sense 1.

The context contrasts the mentioned grievance about the landlord (stated "on the spur of the moment") with his "real" grievance about Lolly. The word "real" here means the genuine, essential, or authentic grievance—the true underlying one—which aligns with sense 5's definition of "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is: "His real grievance was Lolly."

The speaker had mentioned the landlord as a grievance, but that was just something he mentioned "on the spur of the moment." His REAL grievance was Lolly. This contrasts with the superficial grievance about the landlord.

So we need a sense that captures the idea of "genuine" or "actual" or "true" in the sense of being the actual, underlying, or essential grievance - not just a superficial one.

Let me examine each candidate:

1. "being or occurring in fact or actuality" - This is about existence, whether something is real vs. illusory. His grievance does exist in fact, but that's not really the point of the contrast here.

2. "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" - This suggests something is genuine or authentic. This could work - his real grievance is a genuine one, worthy of being called a grievance, unlike the superficial one about the landlord.

3. "not to be taken lightly" - This is about seriousness. While it could apply, the main point isn't that the grievance is serious.

4. "capable of being treated as fact" - Similar to 1.

5. "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" - This is about being genuine and essential. This fits well - his REAL grievance is the genuine, essential one (about Lolly), as opposed to the superficial mention of the landlord.

6. About inflation-corrected values - Not relevant.

7. "having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary" - About substance and reality vs. imagination.

8. Legal/property term - Not relevant.

9. "coinciding with reality" - Not quite the right meaning.

The best fit is sense 5, which captures the idea of genuine, essential character. The real (genuine, essential) grievance versus the superficial one mentioned on the spur of the moment.
Sense 2 could also work with its emphasis on authenticity, but sense 5 better captures what's at stake—the underlying, fundamental grievance as opposed to what was merely mentioned in passing.

The context describes the character dwelling on a personal resentment against Lolly while drinking at a bar—repeatedly referred to as his "pet grievance" that he is brooding over. This aligns with sense 1, which defines grievance as "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" with the synonym "grudge." The phrase "holding a grudge" from the examples directly parallels the character's emotional state and behavior toward Lolly. Senses 2 and 3 are too formal/legal or generic for this intimate, personal resentment.

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

The passage describes a character sitting in a bar with "his pet grievance" which he was "washing down with bourbon." The narrator then clarifies that his "favorite grievance was not the landlord" - he had forgotten about the landlord and only mentioned him on impulse. His "real grievance was Lolly."

The context shows someone nursing a personal resentment or complaint against someone (Lolly) while drinking. This is clearly about a personal wrong or complaint.

Let me examine the three senses:

1. sense_key=grievance%1:12:00:: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" | synonyms: grudge, score | examples: holding a grudge; settling a score
   - This fits well with the context of having a "pet grievance" and the implication of lingering resentment toward Lolly.

2. sense_key=grievance%1:10:01:: "an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice"
   - This is a formal, legal sense. The context doesn't suggest a legal complaint or formal allegation.

3. sense_key=grievance%1:10:00:: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action"
   - This is a more general sense of complaint/resentment.

The key phrase is "his pet grievance" - something he's nursing and dwelling on. The mention of "washing down" with bourbon suggests he's brooding over it. The fact that it's directed at a specific person (Lolly) and involves resentment strongly suggests sense 1, which explicitly mentions "resentment" and uses the synonym "grudge" which perfectly captures the emotional weight here.
Sense 1 is the strongest match. The resentment and brooding quality of the scene aligns perfectly with a personal grudge rather than a formal complaint. The parallel to "holding a grudge" directly mirrors what's happening—someone dwelling on a long-standing animosity toward Lolly while drinking.

The phrase "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" refers to a point in time—specifically, as the character approaches the moment when he finishes drinking his fourth drink. This temporal sense ("the point in time at which something ends") is the most precise interpretation of "end" in this context, as the narrative is describing when during his drinking this observation about not being alone occurs.

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

The context: "Toward the <t>end</t> of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."

The phrase is "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is referring to a point in time. The character is drinking his fourth drink, and as he approaches the end/conclusion of that drink, he becomes aware of someone else's presence.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "either extremity of something that has length" - No, this refers to the physical extremity of an object
2. "the point in time at which something ends" - This could work. "The end of his fourth hairy highball" means the point in time when he finishes it
3. "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" - This could also work. The final part of drinking his fourth drink
4. "goal" - No, not relevant
5. "a final part or section" - Could work, similar to sense 3
6. "final state" or "destruction/death" - No, not relevant
7. "the surface at either extremity" - No
8. "football player position" - No
9. "boundary marking extremities" - No
10. "one of two places from which people are communicating" - No
11. "the part you are expected to play" - No
12. "the last section of a communication" - No
13. "leftover cloth" - No
14. "American football position" - No

The best fit is either sense 2 or sense 3.

Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" - emphasizes the temporal moment
Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" - emphasizes the concluding section

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - I think this is best understood as the concluding part/final stage of drinking the drink.

Both senses work here, but sense 2 better captures the temporal aspect—the specific moment when he's finishing the drink rather than just the concluding portion itself.

The context describes the character creating wet circular marks on the table surface using the bottom of his glass. This is an action of bringing something into being or causing a state to exist (the wet rings on the table). Sense 3 ("make or cause to be or to become") with its example "make a mess in one's office" best captures this sense of creating a physical result through an action. The wet rings are the created product/state resulting from the action.

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

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily <t>making</t> wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."

The character is "making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass" - he's creating wet circular marks on the table using the wet bottom of his glass.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "engage in" - do - make love, not war; make an effort - This is too general
2. "give certain properties to something" - get - get someone mad; She made us look silly - This doesn't fit
3. "make or cause to be or to become" - create - make a mess in one's office; create a furor - Possible
4. "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" - induce, stimulate, cause - Not applicable
5. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" - cause, do - Possible
6. "create or manufacture a man-made product" - produce, create - Not quite right for this context
7. "make, formulate, or derive in the mind" - draw - Not applicable
8. "compel or make somebody or something to act in a certain way" - Not applicable
9. "create by artistic means" - Not applicable
10. "earn on some commercial or business transaction" - Not applicable
11. "create or design, often in a certain way" - do - Do my room in blue - Could fit
12. "to compose or represent" - form, constitute - The branches made a roof - This is close
13. "reach a goal" - Not applicable
14. "be or be capable of being changed or made into" - He makes a great host - Not applicable
15. "make by shaping or bringing together constituents" - make a dress; make a cake - Possible
16. "perform or carry out" - make a decision; make a move - Possible
17. "make by combining materials and parts" - construct, build - Not applicable
18. "change from one form into another" - Not applicable
19. "act in a certain way so as to acquire" - make friends - Not applicable
20. "charge with a function" - Not applicable

The core action here is producing wet circular marks through physical contact. Sense 15 fits well since he's bringing together elements—the glass bottom and the table surface—to create something tangible. Sense 16 also works as a general action being performed, though it's broader. The most precise fit seems to be about physically creating or producing the marks themselves.

Looking at the broader definitions, sense 3 ("make or cause to be or to become") parallels the example "make a mess in one's office"—both involve creating visible marks or disorder. Sense 11 ("create or design, often in a certain way") with its example "Do my room in blue" also captures this idea of producing a physical result through an action. Between these, sense 3 appears most aligned since making wet rings, like making a mess, is fundamentally about creating marks or disorder on a surface.

The phrase "making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass" describes the physical state of the glass bottom being covered or soaked with the liquid (bourbon), which leaves wet impressions on the table. This directly matches sense 1: "covered or soaked with a liquid such as water."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The target word is "wet" in the phrase "while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass."

The context describes:
- Someone washing down his grievance with bourbon
- He's on his fourth hairy highball (a strong drink)
- He's making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass

The "wet rings" are being made by the wet bottom of the glass on the table. This is clearly referring to the physical state of the glass being covered or soaked with liquid (the drink).

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. "covered or soaked with a liquid such as water" - This fits! The glass bottom is covered/soaked with the liquid (bourbon)
2. "containing moisture or volatile components" - This could apply but it's more about the state of things like paint still drying
3. "supporting or permitting the legal production and sale of alcoholic beverages" - This is about political/legal positions, not relevant
4. "producing or secreting milk" - Not relevant at all
5. "consisting of or trading in alcoholic liquor" - This is about cargo/canteen contents, not the state of being wet
6. "very drunk" - While the person is getting drunk in the story, this is not describing the adjective "wet" in the phrase "wet rings"

The most appropriate sense is clearly sense 1: "covered or soaked with a liquid such as water" - because the glass's bottom is covered/soaked with bourbon, creating wet rings on the table.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}

The context describes "wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass" - these are circular marks or shapes left by the glass. Sense 2 ("a toroidal shape") with its synonyms including "annulus" and examples like "a ring of ships" best captures this usage of "rings" as circular or ring-shaped marks/impressions on a surface.

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

The context describes a man sitting at a table with a glass of bourbon. The key phrase is: "while he was moodily making wet <t>rings</t> on the table-top with the bottom of the glass"

This is describing the wet circular marks left on a table surface by the bottom of a glass. The glass leaves a wet ring-shaped impression on the table.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=ring%1:07:00:: | definition=a characteristic sound - NOT relevant, this is about sound
2. sense_key=ring%1:25:00:: | definition=a toroidal shape - This could potentially fit as a circular/ring-shaped mark, but the examples given are "a ring of ships in the harbor; a halo of smoke" which are about circular arrangements
3. sense_key=ring%1:06:02:: | definition=a rigid circular band of metal or wood or other material - This refers to actual physical rings/hoops, not the marks they leave
4. sense_key=ring%1:17:00:: | definition=(chemistry) a chain of atoms in a molecule that forms a closed loop - NOT relevant, chemistry term
5. sense_key=ring%1:14:00:: | definition=an association of criminals - NOT relevant
6. sense_key=ring%1:11:00:: | definition=the sound of a bell ringing - NOT relevant, this is about sound
7. sense_key=ring%1:06:03:: | definition=a platform usually marked off by ropes in which contestants box or wrestle - NOT relevant
8. sense_key=ring%1:06:00:: | definition=jewelry consisting of a circlet of precious metal - NOT relevant, these are wet marks, not jewelry
9. sense_key=ring%1:06:01:: | definition=a strip of material attached to the leg of a bird - NOT relevant

The wet marks left by the glass are circular in shape, so sense 2 describing a toroidal shape fits best—it captures the circular form of the marks on the table surface.

The context describes "making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass," which refers to the lower surface or underside of the glass that rests on the table. This matches sense 1 ("the lower side of anything") with its synonyms "underside, undersurface." The bottom of the glass is the surface in contact with the table that would leave wet rings.

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

The relevant sentence is: "while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass"

The character is making wet rings on a table-top using the bottom of a glass. This is referring to the lower surface or underside of the glass - the part that contacts the table and would leave rings.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. "the lower side of anything" | synonyms: underside, undersurface - This fits! The bottom of a glass is its lower/underside that rests on the table.

2. "the lowest part of anything" - This could also apply, but is more general. The example given is "they started at the bottom of the hill" which is about the lowest elevation, not specifically the underside of an object.

3. "the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on" - This is clearly not about a glass.

4. "the second half of an inning" - Baseball term, not relevant.

5. "a depression forming the ground under a body of water" - Not relevant to a glass.

6. "low-lying alluvial land near a river" - Not relevant.

7. "a cargo ship" - Not relevant.

The most specific and appropriate sense is sense 1, which refers to "the lower side of anything" with synonyms "underside, undersurface." This is exactly what the bottom of a glass would be - the lower surface that touches the table and leaves rings.

Sense 2 could work, but sense 1 is more precise since it specifically emphasizes the "lower side" aspect, which is the underside of the glass.

The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "glass" in this passage.

The sentence in context: "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the <t>glass</t>, he became aware that he was not alone."

Key context clues:
1. "making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass" - this indicates a physical container holding liquid
2. "fourth hairy highball" - a highball is a cocktail drink served in a glass
3. The person is drinking alcohol (bourbon), and the glass is being used to hold and drink the beverage
4. He's making wet rings with the bottom of the glass on the table - this is a drinking glass

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=glass%1:27:00:: - "a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure" - This is the material itself, not relevant here since we're talking about a glass as a container.

2. sense_key=glass%1:06:00:: - "a container for holding liquids while drinking" - This is the most straightforward interpretation. The person is drinking from a glass, making wet rings with it.

3. sense_key=glass%1:23:00:: - "the quantity a glass will hold" - This would refer to "a glass of bourbon" (the amount), not the object itself making rings on the table.

4. sense_key=glass%1:06:03:: - "a small refracting telescope" - Not relevant to drinking.

5. sense_key=glass%1:06:01:: - "an amphetamine derivative" - Not relevant to drinking bourbon.

6. sense_key=glass%1:06:02:: - "a mirror" - Not relevant to the context.

7. sense_key=glass%1:06:04:: - "glassware collectively" - This would be a general reference to glass objects, but the context specifically refers to one glass he's holding.
The drinking vessel interpretation fits perfectly—he's actively using it to make condensation rings on the table surface.

The context shows "became aware," which describes entering or assuming a state of awareness. This matches sense 1 ("enter or assume a certain state or condition"), which is structurally parallel to the provided example "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news." The subject transitions from one state (unaware) to another state (aware).

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

Context: "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."

The phrase is "became aware" - meaning he entered into a state of awareness. He transitioned from not being aware to being aware.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "enter or assume a certain state or condition" | synonyms: go, get | examples: "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious"
   - This fits perfectly. "became aware" means he entered into a state of awareness. This is similar to "became annoyed" in the example.

2. "undergo a change or development" | synonyms: turn | examples: "The water turned into ice; Her former friend became her worst enemy"
   - This is more about transforming into something different. "became worst enemy" suggests a fundamental change of nature/identity. This doesn't fit as well as sense 1.

3. "come into existence" | examples: "What becomes has duration"
   - This is about something coming into being/existence. Not applicable here.

4. "enhance the appearance of" | synonyms: suit | examples: "Mourning becomes Electra; This behavior doesn't suit you!"
   - This is about something being flattering or suitable. Not applicable here.

The best fit is sense 1: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" because "became aware" means he entered into a state of being aware, which is exactly what this sense describes. The example "He became annoyed" is structurally parallel to "he became aware."

The context shows the character suddenly realizing or becoming conscious that "he was not alone." This is a moment of gaining knowledge or perception of a fact—he becomes aware (realizes) of the stranger's presence. This matches the first sense definition of "having or showing knowledge or understanding or realization or perception," which is exemplified by phrases like "became aware of her surroundings." The second sense about being "mindful" or "attentive to" responsibilities would imply ongoing attentiveness rather than a sudden realization, which doesn't fit the narrative moment here.

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

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."

The character is becoming conscious/realizing that there is a stranger sitting at the table with him. He suddenly notices/becomes conscious of the stranger's presence.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. "aware%3:00:00::" - "(sometimes followed by `of') having or showing knowledge or understanding or realization or perception" with synonyms cognizant, cognisant. Examples: "was aware of his opponent's hostility; became aware of her surroundings"

2. "aware%3:00:04::" - "bearing in mind; attentive to" with synonym mindful. Examples: "ever mindful of her health; mindful of his responsibilities"

In the context, "he became aware that he was not alone" means he suddenly realized/became conscious that there was another person present. This is about gaining knowledge or perception of a fact.

Sense 1 is about having knowledge, understanding, or realization - which fits perfectly. The character is becoming aware (realizing/understanding) that he is not alone.

Sense 2 is about being mindful or attentive to something - which is more about being conscious or careful about something ongoing, bearing it in mind.

The context clearly supports sense 1 - it's about suddenly realizing/becoming conscious that something is the case (that he's not alone). This is about perception and realization, not about being attentive or mindful in an ongoing way.

The answer should be sense 1.

The target word "looked" in "He looked up with bloodshot eyes" refers to the action of directing one's gaze toward something or someone. The character perceives the stranger across the table by directing his attention and visual focus upward. This matches sense 1's definition of "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards," which aligns perfectly with the idiomatic phrase "looked up" in this narrative context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage describes a drunk man sitting at a table making wet rings with his glass, and then:

"He <t>looked</t> up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him..."

The key phrase here is "looked up" - this means the man directed his gaze upward/toward the stranger. He perceived the stranger with his attention by directing his gaze.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards" - This is the core meaning. "She looked over the expanse of land; Look at your child!" - These examples match the context perfectly. "He looked up" = he directed his gaze upward.

2. "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - This is about how something appears, not about directing one's gaze. This doesn't fit.

3. "have a certain outward or facial expression" - This is about expression, not the action of looking. Doesn't fit.

4. "search or seek" - While "looked" could mean searched in some contexts, the sentence shows "looked up" meaning he directed his gaze upward to see someone, not that he was searching for something.

5. "be oriented in a certain direction" - Not the right meaning here.

6. "take charge of or deal with" - Not the meaning here.

7. "convey by one's expression" - Not the meaning.

8. "look forward to the probable occurrence of" - Not the meaning.

9. "accord in appearance with" - Not the meaning.

10. "have faith or confidence in" - Not the meaning.

The best answer is sense 1: "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards" - He looked up means he directed his gaze upward and perceived the stranger.

The context clearly refers to the physical organ of sight. The descriptive phrase "bloodshot eyes" indicates the physical condition of the eyes caused by drinking, and the action "He looked up with bloodshot eyes" demonstrates their use as organs of vision. This is a straightforward reference to the anatomical eye, not any figurative or abstract sense.

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

The passage describes a man looking up at someone. It says "He looked up with bloodshot <t>eyes</t> and beheld the stranger sitting across the table..."

The context shows:
- Physical description: "bloodshot eyes" - this is clearly referring to the physical organ that allows him to see
- Action: "He looked up" - he is using his eyes to look
- The character perceives the stranger sitting across the table through vision

This is clearly referring to the organ of sight - the physical eyes. The descriptor "bloodshot" (indicating tiredness/intoxication from drinking) modifies the physical organ.

Let me check each sense:
1. "the organ of sight" - This fits perfectly. "Bloodshot eyes" refers to the physical organ affected by his drinking.
2. "good discernment (either visually or as if visually)" - This doesn't fit. We're not talking about his ability to judge or discern talent/quality.
3. "attention to what is seen" - This could theoretically fit (he's looking), but it's more about the physical act.
4. "an area that is approximately central within some larger region" - Doesn't fit at all.
5. "a small hole or loop (as in a needle)" - Doesn't fit.

The answer is clearly sense 1 - the organ of sight. The "bloodshot" descriptor makes it clear we're talking about the physical eyes, not any metaphorical or abstract sense.

The context establishes that the protagonist is unacquainted with the person sitting across from him—he hasn't noticed the person sit down, questions "what was his name? Pete?" and appears surprised by their presence. The passage emphasizes the lack of familiarity between the two individuals, which directly corresponds to sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with."

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

The passage describes a man at a bar who is drinking and making wet rings on the table. He suddenly becomes aware that there is someone sitting across from him at the table, smiling at him. The narrator notes that the man "hadn't even noticed" this person sit down, and the text indicates he doesn't know the person's name ("what was his name? Pete?").

The two senses are:
1. "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" (alien, unknown)
2. "an individual that one is not acquainted with"

In the context, the stranger is someone:
- The protagonist hasn't noticed until now
- Sitting across the table from him
- Someone who he doesn't seem to know (questioning "what was his name?")
- Someone who appears to be smiling at him knowingly/secretly

Both senses could technically apply here, but let me think about which is more precise:

Sense 1 emphasizes that the person "does not belong in the environment" - this could apply if the bar setting is relevant and the person seems out of place.

Sense 2 emphasizes that it's "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - this is more directly about the relationship (or lack thereof) between the protagonist and this person.

The context doesn't suggest the person doesn't belong in the bar environment. The context emphasizes that the protagonist simply doesn't know who this person is - he hasn't noticed them, doesn't know their name, and seems surprised to see them. This is more consistent with sense 2: someone you are not acquainted with.

The answer should be sense 2.

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

The passage describes a man in what appears to be a bar or similar establishment, drinking and making wet rings on a table. He looks up and sees a stranger "sitting" across the table from him, smiling. The context makes it clear that the stranger is in a seated position at the table.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "be seated" - This fits the context. The stranger is sitting across the table in a seated position.
2. "be around, often idly or without specific purpose" - Could fit, as the person is just sitting at the table.
3. "take a seat" - This would be the action of moving to sit down, not the state of being seated. The passage says "he hadn't seen him sit down" - referring to the action. But "sitting" here describes the state, not the action.
4. "be in session" - Not applicable, not about a court or official body.
5. "assume a posture as for artistic purposes" - Not applicable, not modeling or posing.
6. "sit and travel on the back of animal" - Not applicable, no animals involved.
7. "be located or situated somewhere" - This could work, describing where the stranger is positioned.
8. "work or act as a baby-sitter" - Not applicable.
9. "show to a seat; assign a seat for" - Not applicable, this is transitive and describes showing someone to a seat.
10. "serve in a specific professional capacity" - Not applicable.

The most natural interpretation is sense 1: "be seated" - the stranger is in a seated position across the table. The person observes him sitting (in the state of being seated).

However, sense 2 "be around, often idly or without specific purpose" could also fit - the stranger is just sitting around at the table.

I think sense 1 "be seated" is the best fit because it directly describes the state of being seated, which is what's happening in the context - the stranger is sitting across the table.

The context clearly describes a physical piece of furniture—"making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass" and a stranger "sitting across the table." This is a bar scene where the table is a sturdy piece of furniture with a smooth flat top, not a dining table with meals set upon it (sense 3), a data arrangement (sense 1), a geographic formation (sense 4), a group of people (sense 5), or food/meals in general (sense 6).

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

The passage describes a scene where a man is sitting at a table in what appears to be a bar setting. He's making "wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass" - this indicates a physical piece of furniture where someone can place a drink. Later, he "looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table" - this shows that the table is a physical piece of furniture that people sit at, and they sit across from each other at it.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "a set of data arranged in rows and columns" - This is clearly about data/information, not relevant here.

2. "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs" - This fits! The description of making wet rings on the table-top with a glass clearly indicates a physical piece of furniture with a smooth flat surface.

3. "a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it" - While people are sitting at the table, there's no indication of a meal or formal dining setup with tableware laid out.

4. "flat tableland with steep edges" - This is a geographical feature, clearly not relevant.

5. "a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game" - The focus is on the physical table itself, not the group of people at it.

6. "food or meals in general" - Not relevant; this is about the physical table, not food.

The best fit is sense 2, which describes a piece of furniture with a flat top supported by legs - exactly what you would make wet rings on with a glass and what two people would sit across from each other at.

The context describes a "secret smile...as if they were fellow conspirators." The smile itself functions as a covert form of communication—conveying hidden understanding between the two figures without explicit words. This aligns with sense 4's definition of "communicated covertly," which captures how the smile acts as a secret signal conveying shared meaning, similar to the example "their secret signal was a wink."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage describes a moment where the protagonist looks up and sees a stranger "smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators."

The key phrase is "as if they were fellow conspirators." This suggests:
- The smile is conveying something hidden or covert
- It implies a shared understanding that others wouldn't know about
- The smile itself is a form of communication that contains hidden meaning

Let me examine each sense:

1. "not open or public; kept private or not revealed" - Could fit, but the smile itself isn't really a formula or ingredient
2. "conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods" - This fits with "fellow conspirators" but seems more about operations
3. "not openly made known" - Similar to sense 1
4. "communicated covertly" - This could work since the smile is communicating something covertly
5. "not expressed" - Not quite right, the smile is being expressed
6. "designed to elude detection" - Somewhat fits but not the best
7. "hidden from general view or use" - Not quite right
8. "(of information) given in confidence or in secret" - Not really about information here
9. "indulging only covertly" - Not applicable
10. "having an import not apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence" - Could work, the smile has hidden meaning
11. "classified documents" - Not applicable

The best fit seems to be sense 4: "communicated covertly" with the example "their secret signal was a wink; secret messages" - since the smile is itself a covert form of communication, suggesting shared understanding like "fellow conspirators."

Alternatively, sense 5 "not expressed" could work if we think of the smile as hiding inner thoughts, but sense 4 seems better because the smile IS expressing something, but in a covert way.
Sense 4 captures it best—the smile functions as a covert signal between them, much like the example of a secret wink or hidden message.

The context shows the character was unaware of the stranger sitting down at his table - he didn't perceive or become aware of this happening. The phrase "he hadn't even noticed...he hadn't seen him sit down" indicates a failure to perceive an event. Sense 2 ("notice or perceive") with synonyms like "mark" and "note" best captures this meaning of becoming aware of something through observation. Sense 1 (detect/discover) is less appropriate as it emphasizes determining existence rather than the immediate act of perceiving, and senses 3-4 don't fit the context at all.

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

The sentence is: "He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down."

The context shows that the narrator/character didn't perceive or become aware of someone sitting down at his table. He was drinking and lost in his thoughts, and suddenly realized there was a stranger sitting across from him - but he hadn't noticed him sit down.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This is about detecting something, determining its existence. Synonyms: detect, observe, find, discover. This relates to becoming aware of something's existence or presence.

2. "notice or perceive" - This is about perceiving or noting something. Synonyms: mark, note. This is about becoming aware of something.

3. "make or write a comment on" - This is about making remarks about something. This doesn't fit the context at all.

4. "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" - This is about acknowledging someone's presence. Synonyms: acknowledge. This would mean to show recognition or greet.

In the context, the character didn't notice the stranger sitting down - he wasn't aware of it happening. The man appeared like a shadow without being seen. This is about a failure to perceive or become aware of an action/event.

Sense 1 (detect, discover, observe) and Sense 2 (notice/perceive, mark, note) both seem relevant. However, sense 1 seems more about discovering the existence or fact of something, while sense 2 is more about perceiving/noticing in the present moment.

Given the context - he hadn't perceived/become aware of the stranger sitting down - Sense 2 "notice or perceive" seems most appropriate. It's about not being aware of or not seeing the action as it happened.
Both senses could work since "observe" overlaps with perception, but Sense 2 with "mark" and "note" captures the idea of simply failing to perceive the stranger's arrival more directly.

Context:
He had already quite forgotten about him. In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly. Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even noticed -- what was his <t>name</t>? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down. The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow.

The character is asking what the stranger is called—seeking the linguistic label or identifier by which the person is known. This is the basic denotative sense of "name" as a language unit used to distinguish and identify a person.

reasoning_content:
Looking at the context, the character is looking up at a stranger and wondering "what was his name?" This is clearly asking about the person's designation or label by which he is known - the basic meaning of a name used to identify/distinguish a person.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=name%1:10:00:: - "a language unit by which a person or thing is known" - This matches! The character is asking what the stranger is called. Examples: "his name really is George Washington; those are two names for the same thing"

2. sense_key=name%1:26:00:: - "a person's reputation" - No, the character is not concerned with reputation here

3. sense_key=name%1:14:00:: - "family based on male descent" - No, not about family lineage

4. sense_key=name%1:18:00:: - "a well-known or notable person" - No, not using "name" as a noun meaning a famous person

5. sense_key=name%1:04:00:: - "by the sanction or authority of" - No, this would be "in the name of"

6. sense_key=name%1:10:01:: - "a defamatory or abusive word or phrase" - No, not an insult/epithet

The context is clearly asking "what is this person called?" which is the basic denotative meaning of name as a linguistic unit used to identify someone. This is sense 1.
