The context describes "the auto paint shop" in relation to a fire incident. This refers to a workplace facility where auto painting work is performed, which corresponds to sense 2 - "a small workplace where handcrafts or manufacturing are done" (workshop). This is not a retail establishment (sense 1) where customers purchase goods, nor is it an educational course (sense 3).

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

The context mentions "the auto paint shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=shop%1:06:00:: - "a mercantile establishment for the retail sale of goods or services" (synonyms: store) - This is a general retail store where customers buy goods.

2. sense_key=shop%1:06:01:: - "small workplace where handcrafts or manufacturing are done" (synonyms: workshop) - This is a place where work is done, like manufacturing or handcrafts.

3. sense_key=shop%1:04:00:: - "a course of instruction in a trade" (synonyms: shop class) - This is an educational course in trades.

In the context, "auto paint shop" refers to a place where auto paint work is done - it's a workplace where auto painting/manufacturing is performed. This is not a retail store where customers buy things (sense 1), and it's not a school course (sense 3).

Sense 2 ("small workplace where handcrafts or manufacturing are done") is the best fit because:
- It's a workplace (auto paint shop)
- It involves manufacturing/technical work (auto painting)
- The synonym "workshop" aligns well with this meaning

The answer should be sense index 2.

The context describes an actual burning event at an auto paint shop that "sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air." This is clearly referring to a specific fire incident (the destructive event of something burning), not the abstract process of combustion or other metaphorical meanings. Sense 1 directly matches this usage with the definition "the event of something burning (often destructive)."

Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "fire" in this sentence.

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

This is describing a fire that occurred at an auto paint shop, which sent black smoke into the air. The speaker is describing an actual burning event.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=fire%1:11:00:: | definition=the event of something burning (often destructive) | examples=they lost everything in the fire
   - This refers to the event of something burning

2. sense_key=fire%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of firing weapons or artillery at an enemy
   - This is about weapons/warfare, not applicable here

3. sense_key=fire%1:22:00:: | definition=the process of combustion of inflammable materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke
   - This refers to the process of combustion itself

4. sense_key=fire%1:06:00:: | definition=a fireplace in which a relatively small fire is burning
   - This refers to a fireplace, not applicable

5. sense_key=fire%1:27:01:: | definition=once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles)
   - This is philosophical/elemental, not applicable

6. sense_key=fire%1:12:00:: | definition=feelings of great warmth and intensity
   - This is metaphorical about emotions, not applicable

7. sense_key=fire%1:27:00:: | definition=fuel that is burning and is used as a means for cooking
   - This is about cooking fires, not applicable

8. sense_key=fire%1:11:01:: | definition=a severe trial
   - This is metaphorical, not applicable

9. sense_key=fire%1:10:00:: | definition=intense adverse criticism
   - This is metaphorical, not applicable

The most fitting interpretation is sense 1. The passage refers to a specific incident at the auto paint shop—a destructive burning event that produced smoke—rather than the general combustion process or any metaphorical meaning.

The context describes how the fire "sent" a cloud of black smoke into the air. This matches sense 1 (cause to go somewhere), which captures the meaning of the fire causing or propelling the smoke to move upward. The provided example "The explosion sent the car flying in the air" is structurally parallel to the target sentence.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and choose the best sense for "sent" in this sentence:

"Then the auto paint shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air."

The sentence is describing how the fire caused/propelled a cloud of black smoke upward into the air.

Let me review each sense:

1. sense_key=send%2:38:01:: | definition=cause to go somewhere | synonyms=direct | examples=The explosion sent the car flying in the air; She sent her children to camp

This seems like a good match. The fire "sent" (caused to go) the smoke into the air. The example "The explosion sent the car flying in the air" is very similar to our context - an event causing something to move through space.

2. sense_key=send%2:35:00:: | definition=to cause or order to be taken, directed, or transmitted to another place | synonyms=send out | examples=He had sent the dispatches downtown to the proper people and had slept

This is about sending/transmitting things to another place, often administrative. Doesn't fit as well.

3. sense_key=send%2:32:00:: | definition=cause to be directed or transmitted to another place | synonyms=mail, post | examples=send me your latest results; I'll mail you the paper when it's written

This is about mailing or posting things. Doesn't fit.

4. sense_key=send%2:38:00:: | definition=transport commercially | synonyms=transport, ship

This is about commercial transportation. Doesn't fit.
The remaining senses—assigning people to stations, transferring information, admitting people to institutions, and broadcasting—all clearly don't apply to smoke being propelled into the air. The first sense is the clear winner: the fire caused the smoke to move upward, matching the pattern of an event forcefully sending something through space.

The context describes "an evil-looking cloud of black smoke" rising from a fire. This is a literal description of a visible collection of smoke particles in the air, which directly matches sense 1: "any collection of particles (e.g., smoke or dust) or gases that is visible." The example explicitly mentions smoke as a type of particle collection forming a cloud, making this the best fit rather than sense 2 (water/ice particles at altitude) or the figurative senses 3-5.

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

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

This is clearly describing a visible mass of smoke rising into the air. Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=cloud%1:19:01:: | definition=any collection of particles (e.g., smoke or dust) or gases that is visible
   - This matches! It's describing a visible collection of smoke particles.

2. sense_key=cloud%1:17:00:: | definition=a visible mass of water or ice particles suspended at a considerable altitude
   - This is about water or ice particles at high altitude (typical clouds), not smoke from a fire.

3. sense_key=cloud%1:26:01:: | definition=out of touch with reality | examples=his head was in the clouds
   - This is a metaphorical/figurative sense, not literal. The context is literal.

4. sense_key=cloud%1:26:02:: | definition=a cause of worry or gloom or trouble
   - This is figurative/metaphorical, not fitting the literal context.

5. sense_key=cloud%1:26:00:: | definition=suspicion affecting your reputation
   - This is metaphorical ("under a cloud"), not literal.

6. sense_key=cloud%1:14:00:: | definition=a group of many things in the air or on the ground | synonyms=swarm | examples=a swarm of insects obscured the light; clouds of blossoms
   - This is about a group/swarm of things, which could fit but is less precise than sense 1.

The best match is sense 1 (cloud%1:19:01::), which explicitly mentions "smoke or dust" as particles forming a visible collection - exactly what's described in the context.
The sense index is 1.

The target word "black" describes the literal color of the smoke from the fire. The speaker is describing the visual appearance of smoke rising into the air as being dark/black in color, which corresponds to the sense of "being of the achromatic color of maximum darkness." This is a straightforward descriptive use of the color term in the context of observing the fire's smoke.

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

"Then the auto paint shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air."

The key phrase is "evil-looking cloud of black smoke". The speaker is describing smoke from a fire that visually appears as a dark cloud.

Let me go through the candidate senses:

1. "being of the achromatic color of maximum darkness" - This is the literal color sense. The smoke is literally dark/black in color.

2. "of or belonging to a racial group" - Not relevant here.

3. "marked by anger or resentment" - The smoke isn't angry, though the description "evil-looking" might suggest something dark in tone.

4. "offering little or no hope" - Could relate to hopelessness, but the focus seems more on the visual appearance.

5. "stemming from evil characteristics or forces; wicked or dishonorable" - The text says "evil-looking cloud" so this could be relevant.

6. "having extremely unfortunate or dire consequences" - Not the primary meaning here.

7. "(of the face) made black especially as with suffused blood" - Not applicable.

8. "extremely dark" - This could be relevant. The smoke is visually dark.

9. "harshly ironic or sinister" - Possible with the "evil-looking" description.

10. "deliberately misleading" - Not relevant.

11. "distributed or sold illicitly" - Not relevant.

12. "deserving or bringing disgrace or shame" - Not really relevant.

13. "(of coffee) without cream or sugar" - Not relevant.

14. "soiled with dirt or soot" - The smoke contains soot, so it could be considered black/soiled.

The most straightforward interpretation is sense 1 - the literal color sense. The smoke is literally dark/black in color from the fire at the auto paint shop.

The primary meaning here is simply the achromatic color of darkness—the smoke visually appears black. While "extremely dark" could work, the most natural reading is the basic color sense describing what the smoke looks like.

Let me analyze this context carefully.

The passage describes an "auto paint shop fire" that "sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air."

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a cloud of fine particles suspended in a gas" - This could fit, but it's quite general
2. "a hot vapor containing fine particles of carbon being produced by combustion" - This fits perfectly. It specifically mentions it's produced by combustion/fire, and the example even mentions "black smoke" from a fire
3. "an indication of some hidden activity" - Not applicable here, this is literal smoke, not metaphorical
4. "something with no concrete substance" - Not applicable, this is metaphorical
5. "tobacco leaves that have been made into a cylinder" - Not applicable, this is about a product to smoke
6. "street names for marijuana" - Not applicable
7. "the act of smoking tobacco or other substances" - Not applicable, this is about the action, not the visible smoke
8. "a pitch thrown with maximum velocity" - Not applicable, this is baseball slang

The context is clearly describing the visible smoke produced by a fire at an auto paint shop. The passage says "black smoke" which is directly mentioned in sense 2's example: "the fire produced a tower of black smoke that could be seen for miles."

Sense 2 is the best match because:
- It describes smoke produced by combustion/fire
- The example specifically mentions "black smoke" from a fire
- The definition explicitly includes "hot vapor containing fine particles of carbon being produced by combustion"
- This matches the context perfectly: a paint shop fire producing black smoke

The answer is sense 2.

The context describes smoke being sent "into the air" from a fire. This refers to the physical region or space above the ground, which is the meaning of sense 2 (air%1:15:00::). The examples provided for this sense ("her hand stopped in mid air; he threw the ball into the air") are directly parallel to the usage in the context, where something is propelled or moves into the air above the ground.

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

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

The context is about a fire sending black smoke into the air. Here, "air" refers to the physical space above the ground into which the smoke is sent.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=air%1:27:00:: - "a mixture of gases (especially oxygen) required for breathing; the stuff that the wind consists of" - This could fit, but it's more about the composition of air.

2. sense_key=air%1:15:00:: - "the region above the ground" - "her hand stopped in mid air; he threw the ball into the air" - This fits well with "smoke sent into the air"

3. sense_key=air%1:07:00:: - "a distinctive but intangible quality surrounding a person or thing" - This is about atmosphere in a figurative sense, doesn't fit.

4. sense_key=air%1:19:00:: - "a slight wind" - The context doesn't mention wind.

5. sense_key=air%1:15:01:: - "the mass of air surrounding the Earth" - This is about the atmosphere as a whole.

6. sense_key=air%1:27:01:: - "once thought to be one of four elements" - Too archaic.

7. sense_key=air%1:10:01:: - "a succession of notes forming a distinctive sequence" - Musical sense, doesn't fit.

8. sense_key=air%1:10:02:: - "medium for radio and television broadcasting" - Doesn't fit.

9. sense_key=air%1:04:00:: - "travel via aircraft" - Doesn't fit.

The best fit is sense_key=air%1:15:00:: which means "the region above the ground" with examples like "he threw the ball into the air". This matches the context of smoke being sent "into the air".
The sense index is 2.

The speaker is reassuring that despite the earthquake danger (buckled windows, falling books, smoke), they and their daughter are okay/safe. This is the "being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition" sense, directly paralleled by the example "the passengers were shaken up but are all right."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The speaker (ONEZIE) is responding after an earthquake. They're saying "My younger daughter and I are fine." This is in response to the building shaking and being worried about windows buckling and glass falling.

In this context, "fine" clearly means that they are okay, safe, unharmed - meaning in satisfactory condition despite the earthquake danger.

Let me check the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=fine%5:00:00:satisfactory:00 | "being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition" | synonyms: all right, o.k., okay, hunky-dory | examples about being shaken up but all right

This fits perfectly! The example even mentions "the passengers were shaken up but are all right" which is almost exactly parallel to the context where someone is reassuring that despite the earthquake, they are fine/okay/all right.

2. sense_key=fine%5:00:00:precise:00 - about precise distinctions - doesn't fit

3. sense_key=fine%5:00:00:thin:01 - about physical thinness - doesn't fit

4. sense_key=fine%5:00:00:elegant:00 - about elegance/refinement - doesn't fit

5. sense_key=fine%3:00:00:: - about textures and particles - doesn't fit

6. sense_key=fine%5:00:00:pure:02 - about purity - doesn't fit

The answer is clearly sense 1: "being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition"

The context describes the physical structure shaking during an earthquake ("This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger"). The speaker is referring to the concrete edifice/structure they are in, not the act of construction, the construction industry, or the occupants. Sense 1 (a structure with roof and walls) is the most appropriate.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully:

"This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger."

The speaker is talking about their physical experience during what appears to be an earthquake (given the context about fires and smoke from the auto paint shop). They're describing how the structure around them physically moved and vibrated.

The context clues:
- "building shook" - referring to a physical structure shaking
- "I am fine" - suggesting they were in a physical location
- The narrative mentions "the building" as a place where the speaker and their daughter are located during the earthquake

Now let me examine each 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 referring to a physical edifice/structure. This fits well with "the building shook like hell."

2. sense_key=building%1:04:00:: - "the act of constructing something" - This would be about the process/act of construction. Doesn't fit "building shook."

3. sense_key=building%1:04:01:: - "the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones" - This is about the building industry/trades. Doesn't fit "building shook."

4. sense_key=building%1:14:00:: - "the occupants of a building" - This would mean "the people in the building." While technically the inhabitants could "complain," it doesn't fit the context of "the building shook."

The best fit is clearly sense 1 - the physical structure itself that experienced the earthquake shaking.

The context describes a building experiencing physical movement during what appears to be an earthquake ("shook like hell and it kept getting stronger"). Sense 4 is the best fit because it captures the rocking/swaying motion of a structure, and one of its examples explicitly refers to "the tall building swayed" - directly paralleling the physical phenomenon described in the sentence.

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

Context: "This building <t>shook</t> like hell and it kept getting stronger."

The context indicates that a building is shaking during what appears to be an earthquake (based on "Then the auto paint shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air" and other details suggesting a disaster). The building is described as shaking intensely ("like hell") and getting stronger.

Let me evaluate each sense:

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

2. sense_key=shake%2:29:00:: | move with or as if with a tremor | synonyms=didder | examples=his hands shook
   - This is about trembling, usually with fear or cold

3. sense_key=shake%2:38:01:: | shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively | synonyms=judder | examples=The old engine was juddering
   - This is about rapid, intensive vibration

4. sense_key=shake%2:38:02:: | move back and forth or sideways | synonyms=rock, sway | examples=the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed
   - This is about rocking/swaying motion, and one example specifically mentions a building

5. sense_key=shake%2:30:00:: | undermine or cause to waver | examples=my faith has been shaken; The bad news shook her hopes
   - This is metaphorical/emotional

6. sense_key=shake%2:37:00:: | stir the feelings, emotions, or peace of | synonyms=stimulate, shake up, excite, stir | examples=These stories shook the community; the civil war shook the country
   - This is also metaphorical, referring to emotional or social disruption

7. sense_key=shake%2:38:04:: | get rid of | synonyms=shake off, throw off, escape from | examples=I couldn't shake the car that was following me
   - This involves removing or escaping something

8. sense_key=shake%2:30:01:: | bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking | examples=He was shaken from his dreams; shake the salt out of the salt shaker
   - This describes causing movement or displacement through shaking

9. sense_key=shake%2:32:00:: | shake (a body part) to communicate | examples=shake one's head; She shook her finger at the naughty students
   - This is about deliberate gesturing with a body part

The building itself is undergoing literal physical movement during an earthquake. The phrase "shook like hell and it kept getting stronger" indicates intense, escalating motion. Sense 4 (move back and forth or sideways) fits best here—it even includes "the tall building swayed" as an example, which directly parallels earthquake behavior. While sense 3 (rapid, intensive vibration) could apply, sense 4 is more precise because it captures the rocking and swaying characteristic of buildings during seismic events, with synonyms like "rock" and "sway" that match the phenomenon exactly. The answer is 4.

The phrase "like hell" in this context means the building shook with great intensity and force. The speaker is using it to emphasize the strength and severity of the shaking, which aligns with sense 1 ("with great speed or effort or intensity"). There is no ironic contradiction being expressed, as would be required for sense 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "like hell."

Context: "This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger."

In this sentence, "like hell" is describing how the building shook. It indicates the intensity and manner of the shaking - it shook intensely, strongly, with great force.

Candidate sense 1: "with great speed or effort or intensity" - synonyms include "like mad, like crazy, like sin, like thunder, like the devil" - examples are "drove like crazy; worked like hell to get the job done"

Candidate sense 2: "used ironically to indicate the opposite of what is stated" - example: "says he'll help me? Like hell he will!"

In the context provided, "like hell" is being used to intensify the description of how the building shook. This is parallel to saying "the building shook intensely" or "the building shook like mad/crazy."

This is clearly sense 1 - the phrase is indicating great intensity/force of the shaking. There's no irony or contradiction being expressed here. The speaker is genuinely describing how intensely the building shook.

So the answer should be sense 1.

The sentence "This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger" uses "kept" to express the continuation of an ongoing action—the shaking persisted and continued intensifying. This matches sense 2: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" with synonyms like "continue" and "go on," as exemplified by "Keep on working!" The structure "kept getting stronger" is equivalent to "continued getting stronger," indicating sustained action rather than maintaining a static state.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence is: "This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger."

The word "kept" here is used in the context of the building continuing to shake and the shaking continuing to intensify. The phrase "kept getting stronger" means the shaking continued to get stronger - it's about a continuous action/state.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. keep in a certain state, position, or activity - "keep clean; hold in place" - This is about maintaining a state
2. continue a certain state, condition, or activity - "Keep on working!; We continued to work into the night" - This is about continuing an action or state
3. retain possession of - "Can I keep my old stuffed animals?" - Not relevant
4. stop from doing something - "prevent" - Not relevant
5. conform one's action or practice to - "keep appointments" - Not relevant
6. stick to correctly or closely - "observe, maintain" - Not relevant
7. look after - "He keeps the shop" - Not relevant
8. maintain by writing regular records - "keep a diary" - Not relevant
9. supply with room and board - Not relevant
10. allow to remain in a place - Not relevant
11. supply with necessities - Not relevant
12. fail to spoil or rot - Not relevant
13. behave as expected during holidays - Not relevant
14. keep under control - Not relevant
15. maintain in safety - Not relevant
16. raise - Not relevant
17. retain rights to - Not relevant
18. store or keep customarily - Not relevant
19. have as a supply - Not relevant
20. maintain for use - Not relevant
21. hold and prevent from leaving - Not relevant
22. prevent food from rotting - Not relevant

The best match is sense 2: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" with the synonym "continue, go on, proceed, go along" and examples "Keep on working!; We continued to work into the night"
This fits the meaning perfectly—the shaking continued to intensify. While sense 1 could technically apply, sense 2 better captures the emphasis on ongoing continuation rather than simply maintaining a state.

The context shows "it kept getting stronger" where "getting" means the building's shaking was "becoming stronger" or "assuming a more intense state." This matches sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with synonyms "become, go." The example provided for this sense ("It must be getting more serious") is structurally identical to the target sentence.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context: "This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger."

Here, "getting" is describing a change or progression - the building kept becoming/getting stronger in its shaking. This is about the state or condition of the building becoming more intense.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. sense_index 1 - come into possession - doesn't fit
2. sense_index 2 - "enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go" - This fits! The building is "getting stronger" = "becoming stronger"
3. sense_index 3 - cause to move/position - doesn't fit, this isn't about causing
4. sense_index 4 - receive treatment - doesn't fit
5. sense_index 5 - reach destination - doesn't fit
...

The key phrase is "getting stronger" which is equivalent to "becoming stronger" or "going stronger". This is clearly about entering or assuming a certain state or condition - the state of being "stronger".

Looking at sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious"

The example "It must be getting more serious" is almost identical in structure to "it kept getting stronger" in the context. This is clearly sense_index 2.

Also, I could consider sense_index 12 "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" but that's more about physical characteristics like "He grew a beard", not about a state becoming more intense.

The best answer is sense_index 2.

The context describes a gas tank bursting due to a fire, which is a physical explosion involving chemical combustion. Sense 9 ("burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction") best captures this scenario, particularly given the examples of bombs and incendiary devices that similarly involve violent physical/chemical reactions. The gas tank would explode due to the heat from the fire causing the fuel to ignite violently and release energy.

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

The context is: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

The speaker is describing a gas tank that is exploding. This is a physical event where the gas tank bursts violently, likely releasing its contents in a violent manner due to the fire from the auto paint shop.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "cause to burst with a violent release of energy" - This is transitive (someone causes something to explode). The gas tank is not being actively caused to explode by someone; it's exploding as a result of the fire.

2. "burst outward, usually with noise" - This is intransitive and describes something bursting outward. This fits the context of a gas tank bursting outward.

3. "show a violent emotional reaction" - This is about emotions. Not applicable here.

4. "be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise" - This is more about emotions or forces being unleashed.

5. "destroy by exploding" - This is transitive. Not applicable here.

6. About stop consonants - Linguistic term, not applicable.

7. "drive from the stage by noisy disapproval" - Not applicable.

8. "show (a theory or claim) to be baseless" - Not applicable.

9. "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction" - This describes a physical explosion with chemical or physical reaction. The gas tank would explode due to chemical/physical reaction of the fuel and heat.

10. "increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner" - Not applicable here.

The best choices seem to be between sense 2 and sense 9.

Sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise" - simple intransitive sense
Sense 9 is "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction" with examples like "the bomb detonated at noon; The Molotov cocktail exploded"
Since a gas tank explosion fundamentally involves fuel igniting through a chemical reaction, sense 9 captures this more precisely than the simpler sense 2. The examples provided—bombs and Molotov cocktails—parallel a gas tank explosion in their violent release of energy through combustion.

The gas tank is "burning" after the explosion, referring to the process of undergoing combustion. In context, this describes an active fire where the tank is combusting. Sense 3 ("undergo combustion") most accurately captures this core meaning, with the intransitive use showing that the tank itself is burning rather than being burned by an external agent.

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

"Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and <t>burning</t> in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

The subject is "the gas tank" and it's "burning". This is describing an actual fire/combustion happening - the gas tank is on fire after the explosion.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. destroy by fire - This is transitive (they burned the house), but here burning is used as a passive/intransitive action
2. shine intensely, as if with heat - The coals glow, candles burning. This is about emitting light/heat from combustion
3. undergo combustion - This is intransitive, describing something catching fire and burning
4. cause sharp pain - Not relevant
5. cause to burn or combust - This is transitive (the sun burned off the fog)
6. feel strong emotion - Not relevant
7. cause to undergo combustion - This is transitive (burn garbage)
8. burn at the stake - Not relevant
9. spend money - Not relevant
10. feel hot or painful - Not relevant
11. cauterize - Not relevant
12. get sunburn - Not relevant
13. create by duplicating data - Not relevant
14. use up energy - Not relevant
15. burn with heat, fire, or radiation - "The iron burnt a hole in my dress" - this is about physical burning

In the context, the gas tank is "burning" - it's undergoing combustion. The most appropriate sense is either:
- sense 3: "undergo combustion" (intransitive, the object is burning)
- sense 2: "shine intensely, as if with heat" (focusing on the light/heat emission)

Given that the sentence describes a gas tank that exploded and is burning (following an explosion), sense 3 "undergo combustion" seems most direct and appropriate. This is the basic sense of something burning - it's undergoing the process of combustion.
Sense 2 could capture the luminous quality of the fire, but in this scenario the core meaning is simply that the tank is actively undergoing combustion. Sense 3 is the best fit.

In this context, "things" refers to the overall situation or state of affairs in Berkeley at that moment. The speaker is saying that except for the specific incidents mentioned (the fire, explosion), the general situation is quite peaceful. This matches sense 1 "a special situation" perfectly, where "things" can be understood as a colloquial way to describe "how things are" or "the situation."

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

"Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

The speaker is describing the overall situation/state of their surroundings. They're saying that except for some specific incidents (the fire, the explosion), the overall situation or state of affairs where they are is quite peaceful.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "a special situation" - This could fit. The speaker is referring to the general situation/state.
2. "an action" - Doesn't fit. "Things" isn't referring to specific actions.
3. "a special abstraction" - Could fit but less natural.
4. "an artifact" - Doesn't fit. Not referring to physical objects.
5. "an event" - Doesn't fit. Not referring to specific events (those are mentioned separately).
6. "a vaguely specified concern" (synonyms: matter, affair) - This fits well. "Things" = state of affairs, matters.
7. "a statement regarded as an object" - Doesn't fit.
8. "an entity that is not named specifically" - Could fit but less natural.
9. "a special objective" - Doesn't fit.
10. "a persistent illogical feeling" - Doesn't fit.
11. "an artifact" - Doesn't fit.
12. "a separate and self-contained entity" - Doesn't fit.

The best match is sense 6 "a vaguely specified concern" with synonyms "matter, affair" - the speaker is saying that except for the specific incidents mentioned, the overall state of affairs/matters where they are is peaceful.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 1 "a special situation". This also fits well - "except for the explosions, things here are peaceful" = "except for the explosions, the situation here is peaceful."
Sense 1 feels more direct and natural here. The word "things" is capturing the overall situation rather than specific concerns or matters, so sense 1 is the better fit.

The context describes an earthquake disaster with fires and explosions. The speaker uses "peaceful" to characterize the overall state of things as relatively undisturbed or calm despite the specific catastrophic incidents. This matches Sense 1, which defines "peaceful" as "not disturbed by strife or turmoil or war." Sense 2 about nonviolent resistance to injustice is irrelevant to the context.

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

The context describes an earthquake situation:
- Auto paint shop fire
- Black smoke
- Building shaking strongly
- Gas tank explosion and burning in downtown Berkeley
- Car alarms going off

The speaker (ONEZIE) says "things here are quite peaceful" except for the specific incidents mentioned (the explosions and fires).

Looking at the two senses:

Sense 1: "not disturbed by strife or turmoil or war" - synonyms: peaceable, examples: "a peaceful nation; peaceful times"
This sense refers to a general state of absence of disturbance, conflict, or war.

Sense 2: "peacefully resistant in response to injustice" - synonyms: passive, examples: "passive resistance"
This sense is about nonviolent resistance, which doesn't fit the context at all.

In the context, the speaker is saying that despite the disaster happening around them (earthquake with fires and explosions), things are relatively peaceful - meaning they're not experiencing further turmoil or disturbance beyond what's already happening. The speaker is being somewhat ironic or using comparative language - things would be peaceful except for these specific incidents.

The most appropriate sense here is Sense 1, which describes a state free from disturbance or turmoil. This matches how "peaceful" is being used to characterize the general state of things (despite specific catastrophic events).

Sense 2 about peaceful/passive resistance has nothing to do with this context.

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

The phrase "A lot of car alarms went off" uses "lot" to express a large quantity or number of car alarms. This matches sense 1, which defines lot as "(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent" with examples like "a batch of letters; a deal of trouble". The syntax and meaning align perfectly with this sense.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "lot" in the sentence: "A lot of car alarms went off."

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=lot%1:23:00::** - "a large number or amount or extent" with synonyms like batch, deal, flock, good deal, great deal. Examples include "a batch of letters; a deal of trouble". This is about expressing a large quantity of something.

2. **sense_key=lot%1:15:00::** - "a parcel of land having fixed boundaries" - This is about a plot of land.

3. **sense_key=lot%1:14:00::** - "an unofficial association of people or groups" - This refers to a group of people.

4. **sense_key=lot%1:26:00::** - "your overall circumstances or condition in life" - This is about fate/destiny/fortune.

5. **sense_key=lot%1:06:00::** - "anything taken or chosen at random" - This is about drawing lots.

6. **sense_key=lot%1:14:01::** - "any collection in its entirety" - This refers to a collection of things.

7. **sense_key=lot%1:18:00::** - The biblical figure Lot.

In the context "A lot of car alarms went off," the phrase "a lot of" is being used to mean "a large number of" or "a large amount of". This is clearly sense 1, which defines lot as "a large number or amount or extent" and is typically "followed by 'of'". The examples given (batch of letters, deal of trouble) align perfectly with this usage pattern.

The answer is sense 1.

The context describes an earthquake ("This building shook like hell") during which "car alarms went off." This is clearly referring to alarm systems in motor vehicles (automobiles), not railway cars, elevator cars, airship gondolas, or cable cars. Sense 1 (a motor vehicle with four wheels; usually propelled by an internal combustion engine) is the only appropriate meaning.

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

The sentence is: "A lot of <t>car</t> alarms went off."

This is clearly referring to the alarms in vehicles that are activated during an earthquake. The context mentions an earthquake ("This building shook like hell"), and car alarms went off as a result.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=car%1:06:00:: - a motor vehicle with four wheels; usually propelled by an internal combustion engine. This is the standard car - an automobile. This matches the context perfectly. "Car alarms" refers to alarms in motor vehicles.

2. sense_key=car%1:06:01:: - a wheeled vehicle adapted to the rails of railroad. This would be a railway car, not relevant to car alarms going off from an earthquake.

3. sense_key=car%1:06:03:: - the compartment suspended from an airship. This is clearly not relevant.

4. sense_key=car%1:06:02:: - where passengers ride up and down (elevator car). This doesn't make sense in context.

5. sense_key=car%1:06:04:: - a conveyance for passengers or freight on a cable railway. This is not relevant.

The answer is clearly sense 1 - car%1:06:00:: which refers to a motor vehicle with four wheels (automobile). The car alarms mentioned are from regular automobiles, which would be triggered by the earthquake.

The sense index is 1.

The phrase "car alarms went off" refers to the automatic warning signals (sounds) being triggered by the earthquake vibrations. This matches sense 3 (an automatic signal usually a sound warning of danger) perfectly, as "went off" is the typical phrasing for when an alarm signal is activated. The context of an earthquake explains why the car alarms were triggered to produce their warning signals.

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

Context: "A lot of car alarms went off."

The context is about a building that shook (earthquake) and things that happened as a result. The sentence "A lot of car alarms went off" is describing what happened during this earthquake event.

Let me consider each sense:

1. sense_key=alarm%1:12:00:: | definition=fear resulting from the awareness of danger | synonyms=dismay, consternation
   - This would be the noun meaning "fear/emotional response"
   - But "car alarms went off" doesn't make sense with this - you can't have car fears go off

2. sense_key=alarm%1:06:00:: | definition=a device that signals the occurrence of some undesirable event | synonyms=warning device, alarm system
   - This is the physical device itself
   - "car alarms" could be devices in cars
   - But this is more general "device"

3. sense_key=alarm%1:10:00:: | definition=an automatic signal (usually a sound) warning of danger | synonyms=alert, warning signal, alarum
   - This is the signal/sound that the device makes
   - "car alarms went off" perfectly fits this - when triggered, they produce an automatic warning signal
   - The synonym "alert" and "warning signal" fit perfectly
   - "went off" is typical phrasing for an alarm signal being triggered

4. sense_key=alarm%1:06:01:: | definition=a clock that wakes a sleeper at some preset time | synonyms=alarm clock
   - This is specifically an alarm clock
   - Car alarms are not alarm clocks

The best fit is sense 3. When car alarms "go off" during an earthquake, they're producing the automatic signal/sound that warns of danger. The phrase "alarms went off" is idiomatic for the signal being triggered.
The answer is sense 3.

The phrase "car alarms went off" in the context of an earthquake refers to the alarms being triggered or activated. This matches sense 2: "be discharged or activated," which has the supporting example "the explosive devices went off." The alarms were set off by the shaking of the building during the earthquake.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "went off" is correct.

The context is: "A lot of car alarms <t>went off</t>."

This is talking about car alarms being triggered/activated during an earthquake. The alarms went off as a result of the shaking from the earthquake.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=go_off%2:38:00:: - "run away; usually includes taking something or somebody along" - This doesn't fit. The alarms didn't run away.

2. sense_key=go_off%2:30:00:: - "be discharged or activated" - This fits! Car alarms being activated during the earthquake. The example is "the explosive devices went off" which is similar - both refer to something being triggered/activated.

3. sense_key=go_off%2:33:00:: - "go off or discharge" (synonyms: fire, discharge) - This is similar to sense 2, but the example given is "The gun fired" which is more about a weapon discharging.

4. sense_key=go_off%2:35:00:: - "stop running, functioning, or operating" - This would mean the alarms stopped working, but the context suggests they activated/started, not stopped.

5. sense_key=go_off%2:30:01:: - "happen in a particular manner" - This is too vague and doesn't apply well to alarms.

6. sense_key=go_off%2:30:02:: - "burst inward" (implode) - This doesn't apply to alarms.

The best fit is sense 2 (go_off%2:30:00::) which means "be discharged or activated" with the example "the explosive devices went off". Car alarms going off means they were activated/triggered, which aligns perfectly with this sense.
The correct answer is sense index 2.
