Which numbered sense of "screen" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Some found it on the <t>screen</t> of a personal computer.

Senses:
1. definition=a white or silvered surface where pictures can be projected for viewing
2. definition=a protective covering that keeps things out or hinders sight | examples=they had just moved in and had not put up blinds yet
3. definition=the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube

9. definition=partition consisting of a decorative frame or panel that serves to divide a space

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

The sentence is talking about finding something on the screen of a personal computer. This refers to the display surface where information is shown on a computer.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a white or silvered surface where pictures can be projected for viewing" - This sounds like a projection screen, not a computer screen.

2. "a protective covering that keeps things out or hinders sight" - This is about blocking things, not a display.

3. "the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube" - This is specifically about cathode-ray tube displays, which is what computer monitors used to be (and still refers to the display of a computer in a general sense).

4. "a covering that serves to conceal or shelter something" - This is about hiding/sheltering, not a display.

5. "a protective covering consisting of netting; can be mounted in a frame" - This is about window screens.

6. "the personnel of the film industry" - This is not about a physical screen.

7. "a strainer for separating lumps from powdered material or grading particles" - This is about a sieve/strainer.

8. "a door that consists of a frame holding metallic or plastic netting" - This is about screen doors.

9. "partition consisting of a decorative frame or panel that serves to divide a space" - This is about room dividers.

The correct answer is sense 3, which refers to the electronic display on a computer/monitor (cathode-ray tube, though this can apply to modern displays too as they're successors to CRT technology).

Let me analyze the sentence: "Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards..."

The phrase is "made their way to their computers" - this is asking what sense of "make" is being used here.

"Made their way" means to proceed, to travel, to go in a direction toward somewhere. Let me look through the definitions:

- Sense 28: "head into a specified direction" with example "The escaped convict took to the hills"
- Sense 36: "proceed along a path" with example "work one's way through the crowd"
- Sense 22: "reach a destination, either real or abstract" with example "We hit Detroit by noon"

The most fitting seems to be sense 36 "proceed along a path" because "made their way" is about proceeding in a certain path/direction. The phrase "their way" is key - it's about the path or manner of proceeding.

Sense 28 "head into a specified direction" could also work, but sense 36 seems more precise with the "way" being the path.

Actually, looking more carefully, "made their way" is more about reaching a destination (computers) along a path. Let me reconsider.

Sense 22 is "reach a destination, either real or abstract" - "We hit Detroit by noon" - this is about reaching a destination.

Sense 36 is "proceed along a path" - "work one's way through the crowd" - this is about the process of going through.

"Made their way to their computers" - they went to their computers, they reached their computers. This seems more like sense 22.

Actually, thinking about it more carefully, "made their way" is a common expression meaning "went" or "proceeded to reach". The emphasis is on the journey/path taken (way) and the destination reached.

I think sense 22 "reach a destination" is the best fit here.

Which numbered sense of "computer" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Hundreds of Californians made their way to their <t>computers</t> after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines.

Senses:
1. definition=a machine for performing calculations automatically
2. definition=an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)

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

The sentence reads: "Hundreds of Californians made their way to their <t>computers</t> after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines."

Let me consider both senses:

1. "a machine for performing calculations automatically" - This refers to electronic/mechanical devices used for computing
2. "an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)" - This refers to a person who is skilled at calculations

In the sentence, the text says "made their way to their computers" and later "which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines." The context is about people going to machines (with the possessive "their computers") and these machines being linked together via phone lines for bulletin boards.

This is clearly referring to electronic machines/devices, not people. The context of electronic bulletin boards, phone lines, and linking them together all point to physical computing machines.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1: "a machine for performing calculations automatically"

Which numbered sense of "link" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which <t>link</t> computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines.

Senses:
1. definition=make a logical or causal connection | examples=I cannot connect these two pieces of evidence in my mind
2. definition=connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces | examples=Can you connect the two loudspeakers?
3. definition=be or become joined or united or linked | examples=The two streets connect to become a highway
4. definition=link with or as with a yoke | examples=yoke the oxen together

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the meaning of "link" in context:

"Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which <t>link</t> computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines."

In this sentence, "link" means that the bulletin boards connect computers together via phone lines. The computers are joined together by the bulletin boards.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "make a logical or causal connection" - This is about mental connections or relationships between ideas/evidence. Not fitting here.

2. "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" - This is about physically or functionally joining things together. The bulletin boards join/connect computers together via phone lines. This seems like a good match.

3. "be or become joined or united or linked" - This is about things becoming joined together. While this could work, it's more passive. The sentence is saying that the bulletin boards actively link (connect) the computers.

4. "link with or as with a yoke" - This is about yoking, which is specific to animals. Not applicable here.

The best fit is sense 2: "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" - the bulletin boards connect computers together via phone lines. The bulletin boards are the means by which computers are joined/connected together.

Which numbered sense of "computer" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link <t>computers</t> CB-radio-style, via phone lines.

Senses:
1. definition=a machine for performing calculations automatically
2. definition=an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link <t>computers</t> CB-radio-style, via phone lines."

The word "computers" in question is used in the context of electronic bulletin boards linking computers together via phone lines. This is clearly referring to machines - specifically electronic machines that can process and transmit information.

Sense 1: "a machine for performing calculations automatically" - this is the modern sense of computer as a physical machine
Sense 2: "an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)" - this is an older sense referring to a person

In this sentence, "computers" refers to the physical machines/devices that are linked together by electronic bulletin boards. It's not referring to people who calculate. So the correct sense is 1.

Which numbered sense of "vivid" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Some of the most <t>vivid</t> bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground.

Senses:
1. definition=evoking lifelike images within the mind | examples=pictorial poetry and prose
2. definition=having the clarity and freshness of immediate experience | examples=a vivid recollection
3. definition=having striking color | examples=bright dress
4. definition=(of color) having the highest saturation | examples=vivid green

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some of the most <t>vivid</t> bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

In this context, "vivid" is describing "bulletins" - which are brief news reports or announcements. The bulletins are described as coming over an electronic bulletin board system called "The Well."

Let me consider each sense:

1. "evoking lifelike images within the mind" - This would mean the bulletins create vivid mental images, like in pictorial poetry. This could fit - the bulletins are being described as particularly lively and striking.

2. "having the clarity and freshness of immediate experience" - This would mean the bulletins have freshness and immediacy about them. This seems plausible in the context of real-time electronic communication.

3. "having striking color" - This would mean the bulletins are brightly colored. This doesn't make sense for text-based bulletins from the 1980s-90s era when The Well was in its heyday.

4. "(of color) having the highest saturation" - Similar to #3, this is about color saturation, which doesn't apply to text bulletins.

Looking at the context more carefully: "one of the liveliest outposts" - liveliest suggests energy, vibrance, and immediacy. The word "vivid" is paired with "liveliest" in the sentence, suggesting they're describing similar qualities.

I think sense 1 is the most appropriate - the bulletins "evoked lifelike images" or struck readers with their vividness, making them memorable and impactful. Or sense 2, emphasizing their freshness and immediacy.

Actually, I think sense 1 is most appropriate here - "vivid bulletins" = bulletins that evoke striking, lifelike descriptions or accounts.

Which numbered sense of "come" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Some of the most vivid bulletins <t>came</t> over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground.

Senses:

2. definition=reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | examples=She arrived home at 7 o'clock
3. definition=come to pass; arrive, as in due course | examples=The first success came three days later
4. definition=reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position | examples=The water came to a boil
5. definition=to be the product or result | examples=Melons come from a vine
6. definition=be found or available | examples=These shoes come in three colors; The furniture comes unassembled
7. definition=come forth | examples=A scream came from the woman's mouth
8. definition=be a native of | examples=She hails from Kalamazoo
9. definition=extend or reach | examples=The water came up to my waist
10. definition=exist or occur in a certain point in a series | examples=Next came the student from France
11. definition=cover a certain distance | examples=She came a long way
12. definition=come under, be classified or included | examples=fall into a category
13. definition=happen as a result | examples=Nothing good will come of this
14. definition=add up in number or quantity | examples=The bills amounted to $2,000
15. definition=develop into | examples=This idea will never amount to anything
16. definition=be received | examples=News came in of the massacre in Rwanda
17. definition=come to one's mind; suggest itself | examples=It occurred to me that we should hire another secretary
18. definition=come from; be connected by a relationship of blood, for example | examples=She was descended from an old Italian noble family
19. definition=proceed or get along | examples=How is she doing in her new job?
20. definition=experience orgasm | examples=she could not come because she was too upset
21. definition=have a certain priority | examples=My family comes first

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some of the most vivid bulletins <t>came</t> over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

The word "came" here is being used to mean that bulletins "were received" or "arrived" (in the form of electronic messages/communications over The Well, which is a computer bulletin board).

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 1: "move toward" - not quite, the bulletins aren't necessarily moving toward something
- Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - This could work, as the bulletins are arriving/reaching
- Sense 3: "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" - Could work, but more about something happening over time
- Sense 7: "come forth" - This could work, meaning the bulletins emerged/were produced
- Sense 16: "be received" - This seems like the best fit. The bulletins "came over" the board, meaning they were received through the board

Actually, let me reconsider. "Came over" suggests movement or transmission through a medium. In the context of a bulletin board system, "came" means the bulletins were transmitted/received through the system.

Sense 16 says "be received" with the example "News came in of the massacre in Rwanda" - this is very similar to our sentence where bulletins "came over" the board.

The answer should be 16.

Which numbered sense of "electronic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the <t>electronic</t> underground.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons | examples=electronic devices
2. definition=of or concerned with electrons | examples=electronic energy

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

The sentence is referring to "the electronic underground" - this is talking about an underground community/movement that operates through electronic/digital means. The Well is described as a computer bulletin board system.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons" - This would apply here because "electronic underground" refers to an underground that operates using electronic devices/systems (like computer bulletin boards).

2. "of or concerned with electrons" - This is more technical/scientific, relating specifically to electrons themselves, not to systems or devices that use electronics.

In this context, "electronic underground" is referring to a community/movement that uses electronic devices (like The Well bulletin board), not a scientific description about electrons themselves. So sense 1 is the correct answer, as it's about "relating to electronics" and "using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons."

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "subscriber" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 <t>subscribers</t> live in the Bay Area.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who expresses strong approval
2. definition=someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication
3. definition=someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 <t>subscribers</t> live in the Bay Area."

The sentence is talking about subscribers to "the Well" - which appears to be a publication or service. The sentence indicates that these subscribers receive something (issues of a publication or access to a service) in exchange for payment.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "someone who expresses strong approval" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about people expressing approval.

2. "someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication" - This fits perfectly. The subscribers are paying for access to "the Well" (likely a publication or online service) and they receive it.

3. "someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money" - While this could potentially apply if they're contributing money, the more specific definition about contracting to receive a service is more accurate here, as the sentence emphasizes that they "subscribe" to the Well, implying an ongoing service or publication.

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "live" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers <t>live</t> in the Bay Area.

Senses:
1. definition=inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of | examples=People lived in Africa millions of years ago
2. definition=lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style | examples=we had to live frugally after the war
3. definition=continue to live through hardship or adversity | examples=We went without water and food for 3 days
4. definition=support oneself | examples=he could barely exist on such a low wage
5. definition=have life, be alive | examples=Our great leader is no more
6. definition=have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations | examples=I know the feeling!
7. definition=pursue a positive and satisfying existence | examples=You must accept yourself and others if you really want to live

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area."

The word "live" here means to inhabit or reside in a place. The subscribers reside in the Bay Area.

Looking at the senses:
1. "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of" - This matches perfectly. The example "People lived in Africa millions of years ago" also shows people inhabiting a location.
2. "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style" - This doesn't fit the context.
3. "continue to live through hardship or adversity" - This doesn't fit.
4. "support oneself" - This doesn't fit.
5. "have life, be alive" - This doesn't fit the context.
6. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" - This doesn't fit.
7. "pursue a positive and satisfying existence" - This doesn't fit.

The correct answer is sense 1, as it refers to inhabiting or being an inhabitant of a place (the Bay Area).

Which numbered sense of "hour" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The quake knocked The Well out for six <t>hours</t>, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports.

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day | examples=the job will take more than an hour
2. definition=clock time | examples=the hour is getting late
3. definition=a special and memorable period | examples=it was their finest hour
4. definition=distance measured by the time taken to cover it | examples=we live an hour from the airport

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six <t>hours</t>, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports."

The sentence is saying that "The Well" (presumably a news website or platform) was knocked out (went offline) for six hours.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day" - This is the basic definition of an hour as a unit of time. The sentence is saying something was offline for six hours, meaning six units of time.

2. "clock time" - This refers to what time it is on a clock, which doesn't fit here.

3. "a special and memorable period" - This refers to a significant moment or period in time (like "their finest hour"), which doesn't apply here.

4. "distance measured by the time taken to cover it" - This refers to distance, like "an hour away," which doesn't fit here.

The correct sense is #1 - the sentence is using "hours" to describe a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day. The website was offline for six such periods.

Which numbered sense of "come_up" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it <t>came</t> back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports.

Senses:
1. definition=bring forth, usually something desirable | examples=The committee came up with some interesting recommendations
2. definition=result or issue | examples=A slight unpleasantness arose from this discussion
3. definition=move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody | examples=He came singing down the road

7. definition=be mentioned | examples=These names came up in the discussion
8. definition=start running, functioning, or operating | examples=the lights went on
9. definition=get something or somebody for a specific purpose | examples=I found this gadget that will serve as a bottle opener
10. definition=come up, of celestial bodies | examples=The sun also rises
11. definition=gather (money or other resources) together over time | examples=She had scraped together enough money for college
12. definition=gather or bring together | examples=muster the courage to do something

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it <t>came</t> back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports."

The context is that something (called "The Well") was knocked out by a quake and then "came back up." The sentence says that when it "came back up," it was full of reports - suggesting it became operational/functional again.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "bring forth, usually something desirable" - not a match
2. "result or issue" - not a match
3. "move toward, travel toward something" - not a match
4. "come to the surface" - this could be literal, like something coming up to the surface
5. "originate or come into being" - not quite right
6. "move upward" - this is about literal movement upward
7. "be mentioned" - not a match
8. "start running, functioning, or operating" - This seems very fitting! The Well was knocked out and when it "came back up" it started operating again
9. "get something or somebody for a specific purpose" - not a match
10. "come up, of celestial bodies" - not a match
11. "gather (money or other resources) together" - not a match
12. "gather or bring together" - not a match

The phrase "came back up" in the context of something that was knocked out suggests it became operational again, started functioning again. This best matches sense 8: "start running, functioning, or operating" with the example "the lights went on."

The answer is 8.

Which numbered sense of "teem" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it <t>teemed</t> with emotional first-hand reports.

Senses:
1. definition=be teeming, be abuzz | examples=The garden was swarming with bees
2. definition=move in large numbers | examples=people were pouring out of the theater

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two senses of "teem":

Sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports."

Sense 1: "be teeming, be abuzz" - This means to be full of or crowded with something. Example: "The garden was swarming with bees"

Sense 2: "move in large numbers" - This means things are moving or flowing in large quantities. Example: "people were pouring out of the theater"

In the sentence, "it teemed with emotional first-hand reports" means that the place (The Well, which seems to be some kind of platform or website) was full of or crowded with emotional first-hand reports. This is describing a state of being full/crowded with something, not movement of things in large numbers.

This matches Sense 1: "be teeming, be abuzz" - meaning to be full of or crowded with something.

So the answer is 1.

Sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports."

Here, "emotional" is describing "first-hand reports." The reports are characterized by emotion - they contain emotional content or are emotionally charged accounts from people who experienced the earthquake.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "determined or actuated by emotion rather than reason" - This would mean the reports were made based on emotion rather than reason. While this could potentially apply, it's not the primary meaning here.

2. "of more than usual emotion" - This would mean the reports had more emotion than typical. This could apply, but it's not quite the core meaning.

3. "of or pertaining to emotion" - This means relating to or concerning emotion. The reports are emotional in the sense that they pertain to/contain emotion. This fits well - the reports are emotionally-charged accounts pertaining to the disaster.

4. "(of persons) excessively affected by emotion" - This applies to persons being excessively emotional, not to reports.

The best fit is sense 3: "of or pertaining to emotion" - the reports are emotional first-hand accounts, meaning they pertain to or contain emotional content. The reports are about people's emotional experiences and reactions to the earthquake.

The answer is 3.

Which numbered sense of "report" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand <t>reports</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale
2. definition=the act of informing by verbal report | examples=he heard reports that they were causing trouble
3. definition=a short account of the news | examples=the report of his speech
4. definition=a sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing) | examples=they heard a violent report followed by silence
5. definition=a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment | examples=his father signed his report card
6. definition=an essay (especially one written as an assignment) | examples=he got an A on his composition
7. definition=the general estimation that the public has for a person | examples=he acquired a reputation as an actor before he started writing

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand <t>reports</t>."

The word "reports" here refers to accounts or descriptions of something. Specifically, they are "emotional first-hand reports" - meaning personal accounts or narratives of people's experiences with the earthquake.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" - This could fit, as reports are written documents describing findings.

2. "the act of informing by verbal report" - This is about the act of informing, not about the document itself.

3. "a short account of the news" - This fits well. Reports of an event are short accounts. This seems very relevant given the context of earthquake news.

4. "a sharp explosive sound" - Clearly not relevant here.

5. "a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment" - Not relevant, this is about school reports.

6. "an essay (especially one written as an assignment)" - Not the right context.

7. "the general estimation that the public has for a person" - Not relevant.

The sentence is talking about "emotional first-hand reports" - these are accounts/stories from people who experienced the earthquake. This best matches sense 3: "a short account of the news" - reports of the earthquake would be news accounts.

Actually, sense 1 also fits - "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" could also work.

But sense 3 "a short account of the news" seems more directly applicable since these are reports about a newsworthy event (the earthquake).

I'll go with 3.

Which numbered sense of "electronic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Following are excerpts from the <t>electronic</t> traffic that night.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons | examples=electronic devices
2. definition=of or concerned with electrons | examples=electronic energy

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Following are excerpts from the electronic traffic that night."

In this context, "electronic traffic" refers to traffic (communication, data, signals) that occurs through electronic means - electronic devices, networks, digital communication, etc.

Let me analyze the two senses:

1. "of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons" with example "electronic devices" - This fits the usage in the sentence. Electronic traffic would mean traffic conducted through electronic devices/systems.

2. "of or concerned with electrons" with example "electronic energy" - This is a more technical/scientific definition relating to electrons themselves and their properties/energy.

In the sentence, "electronic traffic" clearly means traffic that occurs through electronic means/devices (like email, digital communications, etc.). This matches the first definition, which is about devices and electronics in general use.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "traffic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Following are excerpts from the electronic <t>traffic</t> that night.

Senses:
1. definition=the aggregation of things (pedestrians or vehicles) coming and going in a particular locality during a specified period of time
2. definition=buying and selling; especially illicit trade
3. definition=the amount of activity over a communication system during a given period of time | examples=heavy traffic overloaded the trunk lines
4. definition=social or verbal interchange (usually followed by `with')

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Following are excerpts from the electronic traffic that night."

The context is about "electronic traffic" at night. This is referring to communications or data transmission over electronic/communication systems.

Looking at the senses:
1. Pedestrians or vehicles coming and going - This doesn't fit because it's "electronic traffic"
2. Buying and selling; illicit trade - This doesn't fit
3. The amount of activity over a communication system during a given period of time - This fits! "Electronic traffic" refers to the activity/data flowing through electronic communication systems. The example even mentions "trunk lines" which are communication lines.
4. Social or verbal interchange - This could potentially fit, but it's less specific and wouldn't typically be called "electronic traffic"

The best match is sense 3, which specifically refers to activity over a communication system, and the phrase "electronic traffic" is a common term in telecommunications/networking for data transmission.

Which numbered sense of "time" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The <t>time</t> is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | examples=this time he succeeded
2. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses
3. definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | examples=he waited a long time
4. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go
5. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
6. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears
7. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock | examples=do you know what time it is?
8. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
9. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration
10. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves."

The phrase "The time is Pacific Daylight Time" is asking what the current time zone/time reading is. It's referring to a specific point in time as shown by a clock or time zone measurement.

Let me look at each sense:

1. An instance or single occasion - No, not about a single occasion
2. A period of time as a resource - No, not about having time to do something
3. An indefinite period marked by specific attributes - No
4. A suitable moment - No
5. The continuum of experience - No, not about the general concept
6. A person's experience on a particular occasion - No
7. A reading of a point in time as given by a clock - YES! "The time is Pacific Daylight Time" is asking for a reading/measurement of what time it currently is (specifically what time zone/time designation)
8. The fourth coordinate for specifying a physical event - No
9. Rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration - No
10. The period a prisoner is imprisoned - No

The answer is 7. When someone says "The time is [something]" they're asking for or stating what time it is according to a clock or time measurement system.

Which numbered sense of "time" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The time is Pacific Daylight <t>Time</t>, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | examples=this time he succeeded
2. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses
3. definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | examples=he waited a long time
4. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go
5. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
6. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The time is Pacific Daylight <t>Time</t>, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves."

The word "Time" here is being used as part of a proper noun phrase "Pacific Daylight Time" - which is a timezone designation.

Let me look at each sense:

1. An instance or single occasion - No, this is not a single event
2. A period of time as a resource - No
3. An indefinite period - No
4. A suitable moment - No
5. The continuum of experience - No
6. A person's experience on a particular occasion - No
7. A reading of a point in time as given by a clock - This could fit - Pacific Daylight Time is a way of designating what time it is based on a specific timezone
8. The fourth coordinate for specifying a physical event - No
9. Rhythm as given by division into parts - No
10. The period of time a prisoner is imprisoned - No

Actually, "Pacific Daylight Time" is a standard designation for a time zone. It refers to a specific way of keeping time in the Pacific region. This would be closest to sense 7 - "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" because it's a standard designation for telling time in a particular region.

Yes, sense 7 makes the most sense here.

Which numbered sense of "subscriber" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those <t>subscribers</t> use to identify themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who expresses strong approval
2. definition=someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication
3. definition=someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the three definitions of "subscriber":

Sentence: "The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves."

In this context, the subscribers are people who use "initials or nicknames to identify themselves." This suggests they are users of some kind of service or platform where they can use identifiers.

Let me check each definition:

1. "someone who expresses strong approval" - This doesn't fit. The subscribers aren't expressing approval; they're using nicknames/initials to identify themselves.

2. "someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication" - This could fit. The subscribers would be users of a service (perhaps a radio station, given the mention of "Pacific Daylight Time" which suggests a broadcast or communication context), and they're identifying themselves on that service.

3. "someone who contributes (or promises to contribute) a sum of money" - This doesn't fit well. There's no mention of contributing money; the context is about identifying themselves.

The most appropriate definition is #2, as it describes people who are subscribed to or users of a service where they identify themselves with initials or nicknames.

Which numbered sense of "use" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers <t>use</t> to identify themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose | examples=use your head!
2. definition=take or consume (regularly or habitually) | examples=She uses drugs rarely
3. definition=use up, consume fully | examples=The legislature expended its time on school questions
4. definition=seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage | examples=She uses her influential friends to get jobs
5. definition=avail oneself to | examples=apply a principle
6. definition=habitually do something (use only in the past tense) | examples=She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers <t>use</t> to identify themselves."

I need to determine which sense of "use" is being used here.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose" - This would mean the subscribers put into service the initials or nicknames to identify themselves. This seems to fit.

2. "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about consuming something.

3. "use up, consume fully" - This doesn't fit either.

4. "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" - This would suggest manipulating someone, which doesn't fit the context.

5. "avail oneself to" - Apply a principle. This doesn't seem right.

6. "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" - The sentence uses "use" in present tense, not past tense, so this doesn't fit.

The sentence is saying that the subscribers employ/use the initials or nicknames as a means to identify themselves. This is sense 1 - putting something into service or employing it for a particular purpose.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "identify" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to <t>identify</t> themselves.

Senses:
1. definition=recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something | examples=She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster
2. definition=give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property | examples=Many senators were named in connection with the scandal
3. definition=consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else | examples=He identified with the refugees
4. definition=conceive of as united or associated | examples=Sex activity is closely identified with the hypothalamus
5. definition=identify as in botany or biology, for example
6. definition=consider to be equal or the same | examples=He identified his brother as one of the fugitives

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves."

The key here is understanding what "identify" means in this context. The subscribers are using initials or nicknames to "identify themselves."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something" - This is about recognizing/establishing identity
2. "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property" - This is about giving a name or characteristics
3. "consider (oneself) as similar to somebody else" - This is about identifying with/feeling connected to
4. "conceive of as united or associated" - This is about associating things
5. "identify as in botany or biology, for example" - Scientific classification
6. "consider to be equal or the same" - Treating things as equivalent

In the sentence, the subscribers are using nicknames/initials to identify themselves - meaning they are presenting themselves/making themselves known/establishing who they are.

This seems closest to sense 1 - they are establishing their identity. But let me think more carefully.

Actually, sense 1 is more about recognizing someone else as being something. Sense 2 talks about giving a name or identifying characteristics to refer to something by name.

In "identify themselves," the subscribers are using initials/nicknames to refer to themselves - to establish how they will be known. This seems like sense 2 - they are using these characteristics (initials/nicknames) to refer to themselves.

Actually, I think sense 1 is the most appropriate here - they are using these characteristics to establish/present their identity, which is about "establish the identity of someone or something."

Let me reconsider: sense 1 is "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something" - yes, this fits. They are using initials/nicknames to establish their identity.
The answer is sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "avenue" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: I was in the <t>avenues</t>, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK.

Senses:
1. definition=a line of approach | examples=they explored every avenue they could think of
2. definition=a wide street or thoroughfare

reasoning_content:
The sentence says: "I was in the <t>avenues</t>, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK."

Let me analyze what "avenues" means in this context. The person is saying they were "in the avenues" on the third floor of an old building. This suggests a physical location - they were physically present in a place called "the avenues" and specifically on the third floor of a building there.

This indicates a physical place/street/thoroughfare rather than a figurative "line of approach."

Sense 1: "a line of approach" - This is a figurative meaning, used in phrases like "they explored every avenue they could think of" - meaning they tried different approaches or methods.

Sense 2: "a wide street or thoroughfare" - This is a literal, physical meaning referring to an actual street or road.

Given that the person is physically located somewhere ("I was in the avenues, on the third floor"), this clearly refers to a physical location - a street or area of town. So it's sense 2.

Sentence: I was in the avenues, on the third <t>floor</t> of an old building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK.

Senses:
1. definition=the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure) | examples=they needed rugs to cover the bare floors
2. definition=a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale | examples=what level is the office on?
3. definition=a lower limit | examples=the government established a wage floor
4. definition=the ground on which people and animals move about | examples=the fire spared the forest floor
5. definition=the bottom surface of any lake or other body of water
6. definition=the lower inside surface of any hollow structure | examples=the floor of the pelvis
7. definition=the occupants of a floor | examples=the whole floor complained about the lack of heat
8. definition=the parliamentary right to address an assembly | examples=the chairman granted him the floor
9. definition=the legislative hall where members debate and vote and conduct other business | examples=there was a motion from the floor
10. definition=a large room in a exchange where the trading is done | examples=he is a floor trader

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my heart - (Beat, BEAT!) - I'm OK."

The context is clearly about being "on the third floor of an old building." This refers to a level or story of a building.

Let me look at the senses:
1. The inside lower horizontal surface of a room - this would be the surface you walk on
2. A structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale - this is describing a level/story of a building
3. A lower limit (wage floor, price floor) - not applicable
4. The ground where people and animals move about - not applicable
5. The bottom surface of a lake or body of water - not applicable
6. The lower inside surface of any hollow structure - not applicable
7. The occupants of a floor - not applicable
8. Parliamentary right to address an assembly - not applicable
9. The legislative hall where members debate - not applicable
10. A large room in an exchange where trading is done - not applicable

In the sentence, "third floor of an old building" clearly means the third level or story of the building, which is sense 2: "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale."

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "old" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an <t>old</t> building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK.

Senses:
1. definition=(used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age | examples=his mother is very old
2. definition=of long duration; not new | examples=old tradition
3. definition=(used for emphasis) very familiar | examples=good old boy
4. definition=skilled through long experience | examples=an old offender
5. definition=belonging to some prior time | examples=erstwhile friend
6. definition=(used informally especially for emphasis) | examples=a real honest-to-god live cowboy
7. definition=of a very early stage in development | examples=Old English is also called Anglo Saxon
8. definition=just preceding something else in time or order | examples=the previous owner

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an <t>old</t> building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK."

The word "old" is being used to describe a "building." What sense of "old" is being used here?

Let me go through the senses:

1. "having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age" - This is typically for persons, not buildings. Not this one.

2. "of long duration; not new" - This could apply to a building that has existed for a long time and is not new. This seems to fit.

3. "(used for emphasis) very familiar" - This doesn't seem to be emphasizing familiarity here.

4. "skilled through long experience" - This is about being skilled, not applicable to buildings.

5. "belonging to some prior time" - This could mean the building is from an earlier time period, but that's a bit of a stretch.

6. "(used informally especially for emphasis)" - This is informal emphasis, could be a possibility but doesn't seem to be the primary sense.

7. "of a very early stage in development" - This relates to historical language stages, not applicable here.

8. "just preceding something else in time or order" - This doesn't fit.

The most straightforward interpretation is that "old" means the building is not new, it's of long duration or has been around for a long time. This matches sense 2: "of long duration; not new."

The sentence describes being "on the third floor of an old building," which refers to a physical structure—a structure with a roof and walls that stands in one place.

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

"I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old <t>building</t>, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK."

The speaker is on the third floor of a building. This indicates a physical structure - they are physically located inside it, on one of its floors.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place" - This fits perfectly. The speaker is inside a structure with multiple floors.

2. "the act of constructing something" - This doesn't fit. The speaker is not describing the act of construction.

3. "the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones" - This doesn't fit either. Not about commercial activity.

4. "the occupants of a building" - This doesn't fit. The speaker is describing being in the building itself, not referring to the occupants.

The answer is clearly sense 1.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 4. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
The user is saying my previous answer was invalid. I returned "1" with an explanation, but they're asking me to return ONLY the integer.

Let me reconsider the sentence: "I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old <t>building</t>, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK."

The sentence is talking about being on the third floor of an old building. This clearly refers to a physical structure (a building as a noun - the physical object). Looking at the senses:

1. A structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place - this matches
2. The act of constructing something - this is the gerund/noun form referring to the process
3. The commercial activity involved in repairing or constructing - this is about the business/activity
4. The occupants of a building - this is about people

Sense 1 is definitely correct. The user said my answer was invalid, but I did answer "1". Maybe they meant I should have ONLY returned the number without explanation. Let me re-read their instruction: "Return only the number of the correct sense."

I did return a number but also added explanation. Maybe they want just the digit. Let me try again with ONLY the integer as they explicitly state now: "Return only the integer."

Sentence: I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my <t>heart</t> -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK.

Senses:
1. definition=the locus of feelings and intuitions | examples=in your heart you know it is true
2. definition=the hollow muscular organ located behind the sternum and between the lungs; its rhythmic contractions move the blood through the body | examples=he stood still, his heart thumping wildly
3. definition=the courage to carry on | examples=he kept fighting on pure spunk
4. definition=an area that is approximately central within some larger region | examples=it is in the center of town
5. definition=the choicest or most essential or most vital part of some idea or experience | examples=the gist of the prosecutor's argument

8. definition=a firm rather dry variety meat (usually beef or veal) | examples=a five-pound beef heart will serve six
9. definition=a positive feeling of liking | examples=he had trouble expressing the affection he felt
10. definition=a playing card in the major suit that has one or more red hearts on it | examples=he led the queen of hearts

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my <t>heart</t> -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK."

The context shows:
- "except for my heart - Beat, BEAT! - I'm OK"
- The sound description "Beat, BEAT!" is clearly referring to the heartbeat
- This suggests the physical organ that beats

This is clearly sense 2: "the hollow muscular organ located behind the sternum and between the lungs; its rhythmic contractions move the blood through the body" with the example "he stood still, his heart thumping wildly"

The "Beat, BEAT!" description directly indicates the physical heartbeat, which is the rhythmic contractions of the muscular organ.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor."

The context is that the speaker returned to a place and found things in disarray - broken frames, glass on the floor, file cabinets dumped. The word "fallen" is used to describe the state of things that have collapsed or come down.

Looking at the senses:
1. Descend in free fall - this could fit, as things falling down
2. Move downward but not necessarily all the way - possible
3. Pass into a state - this could fit, "everything had fallen" into a state of disarray
6. Suffer defeat, failure, or ruin - this could fit in the sense of things being ruined/in disarray
23. Lose an upright position suddenly - this fits well, as broken frames and dumped cabinets suggest things that have lost their upright positions
26. Assume a disappointed expression - doesn't fit
31. Go as if by falling - doesn't quite fit
32. Come as if by falling - doesn't fit

Given the context where physical objects are broken, scattered on the floor, and cabinets are dumped, the most appropriate sense is #23 "lose an upright position suddenly" because the objects have physically fallen from their proper positions, losing their upright state.

Actually, thinking more about it - sense #1 (descend under gravity) could also work, but #23 is more specific to the context of objects like vases, frames, and furniture that have lost their upright positions.

I think #23 is the best answer.

Which numbered sense of "poster" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken <t>poster</t> frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor.

Senses:
1. definition=a sign posted in a public place as an advertisement | examples=a poster advertised the coming attractions
2. definition=someone who pastes up bills or placards on walls or billboards
3. definition=a horse kept at an inn or post house for use by mail carriers or for rent to travelers

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor."

In this context, "poster frames" refers to frames that hold posters. The speaker is describing broken frames that contained posters (advertisements or printed images) - the type you would hang on a wall.

This matches sense 1: "a sign posted in a public place as an advertisement" - because the poster frames are holding posters which are signs/advertisements.

Sense 2 is about a person who pastes up bills, not relevant here.

Sense 3 is about a horse, not relevant here.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses of "glass" to determine which one is being used.

The sentence is: "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor."

The context is describing what fell - broken poster frames with glass on the floor. This refers to the glass that would be in picture frames or poster frames. In poster frames, glass is used as the transparent material that covers and protects the poster.

Let me go through the senses:
1. "a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure" - This is the material definition of glass
2. "a container for holding liquids while drinking" - This is a drinking glass, not applicable here
3. "the quantity a glass will hold" - This is about volume/capacity, not applicable
4. "a small refracting telescope" - Not applicable
5. "an amphetamine derivative" - Not applicable
6. "a mirror" - Not applicable
7. "glassware collectively" - This could potentially work, but doesn't quite fit the specific context

The sentence is talking about broken poster frames that have glass on the floor. This refers to the brittle transparent material that is used in frames. This is sense 1 - "a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the <t>floor</t>, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor."

The context shows that there are broken poster frames with glass on the floor, and file cabinets dumped onto the floor. This is clearly referring to the physical surface inside a structure (likely a room or building).

Let me check each sense:

1. "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)" - This matches perfectly. The floor is the inside lower horizontal surface of a room where broken frames and file cabinets are located.

2. "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale" - This refers to a story/level of a building, which doesn't fit here.

3. "a lower limit" - This is about wage floors or similar limits, not relevant.

4. "the ground on which people and animals move about" - This is outdoor ground (like forest floor), not what's described.

5. "the bottom surface of any lake or other body of water" - Not relevant.

6. "the lower inside surface of any hollow structure" - This could apply, but it's more specific to anatomical structures like the floor of the pelvis.

7. "the occupants of a floor" - Not relevant.

8. "the parliamentary right to address an assembly" - Not relevant.

9. "the legislative hall where members debate and vote" - Not relevant.

10. "a large room in a exchange where the trading is done" - Not relevant.

The answer is clearly sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "open" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets <t>open</t> or dumped onto the floor.

19. definition=affording free passage or view | examples=a clear view
20. definition=openly straightforward and direct without reserve or secretiveness | examples=his candid eyes
21. definition=ready for business | examples=the stores are open

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets <t>open</t> or dumped onto the floor."

The word "open" is describing file cabinets. The file cabinets are either "open" or "dumped onto the floor."

This suggests that the file cabinets have their doors/lids opened (unsealed), allowing access to their contents. They could either have their doors open or be completely dumped out on the floor.

Let me look at the senses:
1. "affording unobstructed entrance and exit; not shut or closed" - this seems like the most appropriate definition. The file cabinets have unobstructed entrance (their doors are open).
13. "not sealed or having been unsealed" - this could also apply, as the cabinets are no longer sealed shut.

Between 1 and 13, sense 1 seems more fitting because it's about the state of being open (doors not closed), while sense 13 is more about something that was sealed and is now unsealed. File cabinets being "open" in this context means their doors are not closed, affording access to what's inside.

I think the answer is 1.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the <t>floor</t>."

The context is talking about things that have fallen - broken poster frames with glass, file cabinets dumped. The "floor" here refers to the surface inside a structure (a room/building) where these items have fallen.

Let me check each sense:
1. "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)" - This matches perfectly. Glass and file cabinets falling onto the floor inside a room/structure.
2. "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale" - This is about a level of a building, not what matches here.
3. "a lower limit" - Not relevant here.
4. "the ground on which people and animals move about" - This could work for outdoor ground, but the context (broken poster frames, file cabinets inside) suggests indoor.
5. "the bottom surface of any lake or other body of water" - Not relevant.
6. "the lower inside surface of any hollow structure" - This could apply, but sense 1 is more specific to the context.
7. "the occupants of a floor" - Not relevant.
8. "the parliamentary right to address an assembly" - Not relevant.
9. "the legislative hall where members debate and vote" - Not relevant.
10. "a large room in an exchange where the trading is done" - Not relevant.

The best answer is sense 1, which specifically refers to "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)" with examples about covering floors with rugs. The sentence is clearly about items falling onto the floor inside a room/structure.

Which numbered sense of "favorite" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: I was in my <t>favorite</t> watering hole, waiting for the game to start.

Senses:
1. definition=appealing to the general public | examples=a favorite tourist attraction
2. definition=preferred above all others and treated with partiality | examples=the favored child

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I was in my <t>favorite</t> watering hole, waiting for the game to start."

The word "favorite" here is describing "watering hole" (which is a colloquial term for a bar or pub). The speaker is saying it's their preferred/preferred bar - the one they like best.

Let me compare with the two senses:

1. "appealing to the general public" - example: "a favorite tourist attraction" - This would suggest something that is popular with many people in general.

2. "preferred above all others and treated with partiality" - example: "the favored child" - This means something that is personally preferred by the speaker above all others.

In the sentence, "my favorite watering hole" means the bar/pub that the speaker prefers above all others. It's something personally preferred by the speaker. This matches sense 2 - "preferred above all others and treated with partiality."

Sense 1 would be more like "a favorite tourist attraction" which is popular in general, not necessarily a personal preference.

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "wait" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: I was in my favorite watering hole, <t>waiting</t> for the game to start.

Senses:
1. definition=stay in one place and anticipate or expect something | examples=I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets
2. definition=wait before acting | examples=the scientists held off announcing their results until they repeated the experiment
3. definition=look forward to the probable occurrence of | examples=We were expecting a visit from our relatives
4. definition=serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant | examples=I'm waiting on tables at Maxim's

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start."

The person is in a bar/watering hole and is waiting for a game to start. They are staying in that place and anticipating/expecting the game to begin.

Let me check each sense:

1. "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something" - This fits perfectly. The person is in a watering hole (staying in one place) and waiting for the game to start (anticipating/expecting).

2. "wait before acting" - This is about delaying action, which is not what's happening here.

3. "look forward to the probable occurrence of" - This is similar to sense 1 but "waiting for" in the sentence is more specifically about staying in a place and anticipating rather than just looking forward to something.

4. "serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant" - This doesn't apply. The person is a customer waiting for something, not serving.

The correct answer is sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "game" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the <t>game</t> to start.

Senses:
1. definition=a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game

11. definition=frivolous or trifling behavior | examples=for actors, memorizing lines is no game

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start."

A watering hole is a bar or place where people gather to socialize and drink. The person is waiting for a game to start - this would be a sporting event or contest.

Let me go through the senses:

1. "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - This could fit. A sporting event in a bar context could be a game.

2. "a single play of a sport or other contest" - This could also fit. Like waiting for a football game to start.

3. "an amusement or pastime" - This is too general and vague.

4. "animal hunted for food or sport" - Doesn't fit.

5. "(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves" - Too specific to tennis.

6. "(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win" - Doesn't fit, this is about the score, not waiting for something to start.

7. "the flesh of wild animals that is used for food" - Doesn't fit.

8. "a secret scheme to do something" - Doesn't fit.

9. "the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game" - Doesn't fit.

10. "your occupation or line of work" - Doesn't fit.

11. "frivolous or trifling behavior" - Doesn't fit.

The most natural interpretation is sense 1 or 2. Sense 1 is "a contest with rules to determine a winner" and sense 2 is "a single play of a sport or other contest."

Given the context of waiting for the game to START, this is referring to a specific sporting event or contest, which would be sense 2 - "a single play of a sport or other contest" - like a football game, basketball game, etc.
Sense 2 fits best here since the example "the game lasted two hours" describes a complete sporting event, not just one play, which aligns with waiting for a specific match or contest to begin.

13. definition=begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object | examples=begin a cigar
14. definition=bulge outward | examples=His eyes popped

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to <t>start</t>."

The context is that someone is waiting for a game to start. This means the game should begin. I need to find which sense of "start" means "to begin" or "have a beginning."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - This could work, but it's more about taking action.
2. "set in motion, cause to start" - This is about causing something to start, not the thing itself starting.
3. "leave" - Not applicable here.
4. "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - This seems to fit! The game having a beginning.
5. "bring into being" - This is about creating something new, not quite the same as beginning.
6. "get off the ground" - This is more about establishing or founding something.
7. "move or jump suddenly" - Not applicable, this is a different meaning of "start."
8. "get going or set in motion" - This could work, about putting something in motion/beginning it.
9. "begin or set in motion" - This directly says "begin" which is what we want.
10. "begin work or acting in a certain capacity" - This is about beginning work specifically, not a game.
11. "play in the starting lineup" - Not applicable.
12. "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" - This is about how something begins.
13. "begin an event that is implied and limited" - This is about beginning a specific type of event.
14. "bulge outward" - Not applicable.

The sentence is asking about the game having a beginning. The most direct match is sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" with the example "The DMZ begins right over the hill."
Sense 9 also captures this meaning with "begin or set in motion," as in "I start at eight in the morning." Both definitions work here, but sense 4 more precisely describes the game coming into existence at a particular moment.

Which numbered sense of "feel" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: I <t>felt</t> the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together.

Senses:
1. definition=undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind | examples=She felt resentful
2. definition=come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds | examples=I feel that he doesn't like me
3. definition=perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles | examples=He felt the wind
4. definition=be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state | examples=My cold is gone--I feel fine today
5. definition=have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude | examples=She felt small and insignificant
6. definition=undergo passive experience of: | examples=We felt the effects of inflation
7. definition=be felt or perceived in a certain way | examples=The ground feels shaky
8. definition=grope or feel in search of something | examples=He felt for his wallet
9. definition=examine by touch | examples=Feel this soft cloth!
10. definition=examine (a body part) by palpation | examples=The nurse palpated the patient's stomach
11. definition=find by testing or cautious exploration | examples=He felt his way around the dark room
12. definition=produce a certain impression | examples=It feels nice to be home again
13. definition=pass one's hands over the sexual organs of | examples=He felt the girl in the movie theater

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I <t>felt</t> the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake! together.'"

The verb "felt" here means to perceive or experience the earthquake through physical sensation. The person is physically sensing the temblor (earthquake) happening.

Let me go through the senses:

1. undergo an emotional sensation - No, it's not about an emotion
2. come to believe on the basis of emotion - No, not about belief
3. perceive by a physical sensation - YES! This fits - they felt (perceived) the temblor physically
4. be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state - This could work, but it's more about being conscious of one's own state
5. have a feeling about oneself - No, not about themselves
6. undergo passive experience of - This could work, but sense 3 is more specific
7. be felt or perceived - This is the passive voice, not applicable
8. grope or feel in search of something - No
9. examine by touch - No
10. examine body part by palpation - No
11. find by testing cautious exploration - Somewhat, but not quite
12. produce a certain impression - No
13. sexual - No

The best fit is sense 3: "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles" with the example "He felt the wind". This is exactly parallel - they felt the temblor (earthquake) as a physical sensation, just like someone feels the wind.

The answer is 3.
