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

Sentence: Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the <t>strange</t> little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table.

Senses:
1. definition=being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird | examples=a strange exaltation that was indefinable
2. definition=not known before | examples=used many strange words
3. definition=relating to or originating in or characteristic of another place or part of the world | examples=foreign nations

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

Sentence: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the <t>strange</t> little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table."

The sentence describes a man as "strange." The context suggests that the man is odd or unusual in some way, which is why Phil is commenting on his unusual nature. The man is described as "strange" in the sense that he is peculiar, unexpected, or odd.

Let me check each definition:

1. "being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird" - This fits the usage. The "strange little man" is described as odd/weird/out of the ordinary.

2. "not known before" - This could potentially fit if the man is unfamiliar, but the primary meaning in the sentence seems to be about the man being odd or peculiar, not necessarily about being unknown.

3. "relating to or originating in or characteristic of another place or part of the world" - This is the foreign/foreign nations sense. While the man could be from elsewhere, the sentence doesn't emphasize this aspect.

The most natural interpretation is sense 1, which captures the idea of the man being odd, unexpected, and unusual - which is what makes the narrative interesting.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange <t>little</t> man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table."

The word "little" is used to describe a "man" - "the strange little man."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" - example: "a little dining room" - This is about physical size being small
2. "(quantifier used with mass nouns) small in quantity or degree" - This is about quantity, and is used with mass nouns like "little rain"
3. "(of children and animals) young, immature" - This is specifically about age/maturity
4. "(informal) small and of little importance" - This is about something being unimportant
5. "(of a voice) faint" - This is about voice being quiet
6. "low in stature; not tall" - This is about height
7. "lowercase" - This is about letters
8. "small in a way that arouses feelings (of tenderness or its opposite depending on the context)" - This describes something small in a way that creates an emotional response

In the context "the strange little man," "little" is describing the man as being small in stature or physically small. This seems to align with sense 1, which deals with physical size/extent. However, sense 8 also seems to fit because "little man" often carries connotations - it could arouse feelings. But the primary meaning here is that the man is physically small.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" with example "a little dining room" - this is about small physical size.

And sense 6 is "low in stature; not tall" which is more specific about height.

The phrase "little man" most naturally refers to a man of small stature. This would be sense 6 (low in stature; not tall) or sense 1 (small in magnitude or extent).
Sense 6 appears most fitting since it directly addresses stature and height, which is what "little man" typically conveys. While sense 1 covers physical size more broadly, sense 6's specificity about being short in stature makes it the most precise match for this usage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little <t>man</t> had never been there, but for the other glass on the table."

The word "man" here is used to describe a person. The context suggests this is referring to a male person, specifically describing them as "strange" and "little." The sentence is discussing a specific individual that was present (evidenced by the other glass on the table).

Let me go through the senses:
1. "an adult person who is male" - This fits. The "man" is described as a specific male person.
2. "someone who serves in the armed forces" - No evidence of this.
3. "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - While it could be generic, the context suggests a specific male person.
4. "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae" - Too scientific/academic for this context.
5. "a male subordinate" - No evidence of this.
6. "an adult male person who has a manly character" - No evidence about character traits like virility or courage.
7. "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - No evidence of this.
8. "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - No evidence of this.
9. "one of the British Isles in the Irish Sea" - No, this is about a place (Isle of Man).
10. "game equipment" - No.
11. "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - No, it's referring to a specific individual.

The most appropriate sense is #1 - "an adult person who is male." The sentence is describing a specific male person without any additional context suggesting he is a servant, soldier, lover, or anything else - just a male person.

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

Sentence: Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the <t>other</t> glass on the table.

Senses:
1. definition=not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied; - the White Queen | examples=today isn't any other day
2. definition=recently past | examples=the other evening
3. definition=belonging to the distant past | examples=the early inhabitants of Europe
4. definition=very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected; - Lance Morrow | examples=a strange, other dimension...where his powers seemed to fail

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses provided:

Sentence: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the <t>other</t> glass on the table."

The sentence is saying that there's another glass on the table - a glass that is different from or in addition to some other glass(es) that would be expected. The glass serves as evidence that the strange little man had indeed been there.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - This would mean "different" or "additional" glasses. In this context, there's one glass on the table that is different from what might be expected. This seems to fit.

2. "recently past" - This doesn't make sense in context. "The other evening" is an example of this meaning.

3. "belonging to the distant past" - This doesn't fit either.

4. "very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected" - While "other" can have this meaning, in this sentence it's not describing something as unusual in character. It's describing a glass as being a different one (the other glass = an additional glass).

The correct answer should be sense 1, as "the other glass" means the glass that is different from or additional to what was already mentioned, emphasizing that its presence is proof the man had been there.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other <t>glass</t> on the table."

The context suggests that there are multiple glasses on the table. The phrase "the other glass on the table" implies physical drinking glasses that someone was using - likely the strange little man had been drinking from it, which is evidence that he was actually there.

Let me look at the senses:
1. "a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure" - This is the material itself, not what's on a table
2. "a container for holding liquids while drinking" - This fits! A glass on the table would be a drinking glass
3. "the quantity a glass will hold" - This would be about measurement/volume, not the object itself
4. "a small refracting telescope" - Not relevant to the table context
5. "an amphetamine derivative" - Not relevant
6. "a mirror" - Not relevant to being on a table in this context
7. "glassware collectively" - This could fit, but the singular "glass" makes sense 2 more appropriate

The answer is 2 - "a container for holding liquids while drinking"

Sentence: Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the <t>table</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a set of data arranged in rows and columns | examples=see table 1
2. definition=a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs | examples=it was a sturdy table
3. definition=a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it | examples=I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant
4. definition=flat tableland with steep edges | examples=the tribe was relatively safe on the mesa but they had to descend into the valley for water
5. definition=a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game | examples=he entertained the whole table with his witty remarks
6. definition=food or meals in general | examples=she sets a fine table

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the <t>table</t>."

The context shows that there's a glass on the table. This suggests the table is a piece of furniture - specifically the flat surface where objects (in this case, a glass) can be placed.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "a set of data arranged in rows and columns" - No, this is about data/charts
2. "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs" - Yes, this fits. There's a glass on it, suggesting it's a furniture piece with a flat top.
3. "a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it" - This could work, but it specifically mentions "tableware for a meal laid out" - we only know there's a glass, not a full meal setting
4. "flat tableland with steep edges" - No, this is a geographic feature
5. "a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game" - No, this is about people
6. "food or meals in general" - No, this is about food

Sense 2 is the most straightforward - it's a piece of furniture with a flat top that has a glass on it. While sense 3 could potentially apply if the glass was part of a meal setting, the context only mentions "the other glass" without indication of a full meal setup. Sense 2 is the clearest match.

The answer is 2.

The sentence uses "returned" in the sense of going back to a place where one has been before—the person came back to his apartment after being away.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

In this context, "returned" means that he went back to his apartment - a place where he had been before (presumably his home). He came back to his apartment after being away.

Looking at the senses:
1. "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before" - This matches perfectly. He returned (came back) to his apartment (a place he had been before).
2. "give back" - doesn't fit
3. "go back to a previous state" - doesn't fit
4. "go back to something earlier" - doesn't fit
5. "bring back to the point of departure" - doesn't fit
6. "return in kind" - doesn't fit

14. "return to a previous position" - could potentially fit but is more technical/mathematical
15. "give or supply" - doesn't fit
16. "submit (a report, etc.)" - doesn't fit

The answer is clearly sense 1.

The sentence uses "returned" in the sense of going back to a place where one has been before—the person came back to his apartment after being away.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 16. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider. The sentence is: "Some time before midnight he <t>returned</t> to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

The person "returned to his apartment" - meaning he went back to a place he had been before.

Looking at the senses:
1. definition=go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before | examples=return to your native land

This seems to be the correct sense. The person is going back to his apartment, which is a place where he has been before.

But the human said my previous answer was invalid. So it can't be 1. Let me think about what else it could mean...

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 seems like the most obvious match. But if 1 is wrong, maybe I need to reconsider the meaning.

Wait, could it be sense 14? "return to a previous position" - but that seems more abstract/mathematical.

Or sense 3? "go back to a previous state" - not really, he's going to a place, not a state.

Actually, I'm confident it should be 1. But if the human said it's invalid, maybe I need to reconsider what "invalid" means. Perhaps my answer was formatted incorrectly? Let me just return the integer as requested.

I'll stick with 1 as that's the most logical interpretation.

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

Sentence: Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, <t>putting</t> the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep.

Senses:
1. definition=put into a certain place or abstract location | examples=Put your things here
2. definition=cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation | examples=That song put me in awful good humor

8. definition=adapt | examples=put these words to music
9. definition=arrange thoughts, ideas, temporal events | examples=arrange my schedule

raw_output:
1

The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" uses "put" in the sense of placing something into an abstract location (the mind/out of the mind), which matches sense 1: "put into a certain place or abstract location."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

The phrase is "putting the whole incident out of mind" - this means to remove or dismiss something from one's thoughts.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "put into a certain place or abstract location" - This could fit because "out of mind" is an abstract location. "Putting something out of mind" means placing it in an abstract location (not in one's mind).

2. "cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation" - This could also work as it describes causing the incident to be in a certain state (out of mind/forgotten).

3. "formulate in a particular style or language" - No, this doesn't fit.

4. "attribute or give" - No, this doesn't fit.

5. "make an investment" - No, this doesn't fit.

6. "estimate" - No, this doesn't fit.

7. "cause (someone) to undergo something" - No, this doesn't fit.

8. "adapt" - No, this doesn't fit.

9. "arrange thoughts, ideas, temporal events" - No, this doesn't fit.

The most appropriate sense is #1: "put into a certain place or abstract location" because "putting the whole incident out of mind" literally means placing/putting the incident in an abstract location (out of mind = not in the mind anymore). This is consistent with the definition and the example "Put your things here" which similarly places things in a location.

Sense #2 could also work, but sense #1 is more direct - we're literally putting something into an abstract place (out of mind).

I think the answer is 1.

The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" uses "put" in the sense of placing something into an abstract location (the mind/out of the mind), which matches sense 1: "put into a certain place or abstract location."

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 9. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider the sentence: "putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

The verb "put...out of mind" means to cause the incident to no longer be in one's thoughts or memory.

Looking at the senses again:
1. put into a certain place or abstract location - "Put your things here"
2. cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation - "That song put me in awful good humor"
3. formulate in a particular style or language - "I wouldn't put it that way"
4. attribute or give - "She put too much emphasis on her the last statement"
5. make an investment - "Put money into bonds"
6. estimate - "We put the time of arrival at 8 P.M."
7. cause (someone) to undergo something - "He put her to the torture"
8. adapt - "put these words to music"
9. arrange thoughts, ideas, temporal events

Wait, "putting the incident out of mind" is about causing the incident to be out of his mind - causing a state where the incident is not in mind. This seems more like sense 2 "cause to be in a certain state" - the incident is being caused to be in a state of being "out of mind."

Actually, looking at this more carefully: the action is causing the incident to be out of his mind - this is more about causing a certain state. So sense 2 seems more appropriate.

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

Sentence: Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the <t>whole</t> incident out of mind before he fell asleep.

Senses:
1. definition=including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete | examples=gave his whole attention
2. definition=(of siblings) having the same parents | examples=whole brothers and sisters
3. definition=not injured
4. definition=exhibiting or restored to vigorous good health | examples=hale and hearty
5. definition=acting together as a single undiversified whole | examples=a solid voting bloc

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the <t>whole</t> incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

In this context, "whole incident" means the entire incident, the complete incident without exception. The person is putting the entire/complete incident out of their mind.

Looking at the definitions:
1. "including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete" - This fits perfectly. "The whole incident" means the entire/complete incident.

2. "(of siblings) having the same parents" - This doesn't apply at all.

3. "not injured" - This doesn't make sense in context.

4. "exhibiting or restored to vigorous good health" - This doesn't apply.

5. "acting together as a single undiversified whole" - While it mentions "whole," it's more specific about acting together as a bloc, which doesn't fit this context.

The correct sense is 1, which captures the meaning of "complete" or "entire" - the person is putting the entire/complete incident out of their mind.

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

Sentence: Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole <t>incident</t> out of mind before he fell asleep.

Senses:
1. definition=a single distinct event
2. definition=a public disturbance | examples=the police investigated an incident at the bus station

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two sense definitions:

Sentence: "Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole <t>incident</t> out of mind before he fell asleep."

The context suggests someone is trying to forget about something that happened earlier. The word "incident" here refers to a specific event or occurrence that happened.

Now let's look at the two senses:

1. "a single distinct event" - This is a general definition that could apply to any distinct event
2. "a public disturbance | examples=the police investigated an incident at the bus station" - This specifically refers to a public disturbance, something notable enough that police might investigate

In the sentence, the "incident" appears to be something personal that happened to this person - they're trying to put it out of their mind. The definition doesn't specify it needs to be public or a disturbance. It's just "a single distinct event" that occurred.

Sense 1 is the more general and appropriate definition. The incident could be any kind of event, not necessarily a public disturbance.

The answer is 1.

Sentence: Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of <t>mind</t> before he fell asleep.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of <t>mind</t> before he fell asleep."

The phrase "out of mind" means to forget something or stop thinking about it. Let me look at each sense:

1. "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason" - This is a general definition of mind as the thinking organ. "Out of mind" would mean the incident is no longer in the thinking organ, meaning forgotten. This could work but let me check others.

2. "recall or remembrance" - This is about memory. "Out of mind" would mean out of memory/recall, meaning forgotten. This fits well - he put the incident out of his remembrance.

3. "an opinion formed by judging something" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about an opinion.

4. "an important intellectual" - This doesn't make sense in context.

5. "attention" - "Out of mind" could mean out of attention, but that's not the primary meaning here.

6. "your intention; what you intend to do" - This doesn't fit the context.

7. "knowledge and intellectual ability" - This doesn't fit well.

The phrase "out of mind" is an idiomatic expression meaning "forgotten" or "not remembered." This best fits sense 2 (recall or remembrance) because when something is "out of mind," it means it's out of one's remembrance or recall - it's been forgotten.

The answer should be 2.

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

Sentence: The <t>next</t> day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before.

Senses:
1. definition=immediately following in time or order | examples=the following day
2. definition=nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space | examples=had adjacent rooms
3. definition=(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving | examples=our next president

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The <t>next</t> day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The word "next" is being used to describe "day" and specifically refers to "the following day" (Sunday coming after the day before when Haney was out drinking).

Let me check each sense:

1. "immediately following in time or order" with example "the following day" - This matches perfectly. "Next day" means the day immediately following, which is the same as "the following day."

2. "nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space" - This is about physical proximity/location, not about time sequence. This doesn't fit.

3. "(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving" - This is specific to political offices and doesn't apply here.

The correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: The next <t>day</t>, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before.

Senses:
1. definition=time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis | examples=two days later they left
2. definition=some point or period in time | examples=it should arrive any day now
3. definition=a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance | examples=Mother's Day
4. definition=the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside | examples=the dawn turned night into day
5. definition=the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working) | examples=my day began early this morning
6. definition=an era of existence or influence | examples=in the day of the dinosaurs
7. definition=the period of time taken by a particular planet (e.g. Mars) to make a complete rotation on its axis | examples=how long is a day on Jupiter?
8. definition=the time for one complete rotation of the earth relative to a particular star, about 4 minutes shorter than a mean solar day
9. definition=a period of opportunity | examples=he deserves his day in court
10. definition=United States writer best known for his autobiographical works (1874-1935)

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The next <t>day</t>, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The word "day" here refers to "the next day" which is Sunday. This is referring to a specific point in time - the next day after a previous reference point (the night before when Haney had been somewhere).

Let me look at each definition:

1. "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" - This is a technical/scientific definition, like "two days later they left". The sentence does reference "the next day" which could be this, but it's more about a point in time.

2. "some point or period in time" - This fits well. "The next day" is a point in time.

3. "a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance" - No, this isn't about Mother's Day or special observances.

4. "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside" - No, this is about daytime specifically.

5. "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)" - No, this is about daily activity hours.

6. "an era of existence or influence" - No.

7. "the period of time taken by a particular planet to make a complete rotation" - No.

8. "the time for one complete rotation relative to a particular star" - No.

9. "a period of opportunity" - No.

10. A person's name - No.

The most accurate definition is #2: "some point or period in time" with the example "it should arrive any day now". The phrase "the next day" refers to a specific point in time.

However, #1 could also work as "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" since a day is that literal period, and "the next day" means the next 24-hour period.
Actually, thinking about it more carefully, #1 is probably the better fit. "The next day" literally denotes the following 24-hour cycle, not just an abstract point in time.

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

Sentence: The next day, Sunday, the <t>hangover</t> reminded Haney where he had been the night before.

Senses:
1. definition=disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol)
2. definition=an official who remains in office after his term
3. definition=something that has survived from the past | examples=a holdover from the sixties

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The next day, Sunday, the <t>hangover</t> reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The context clues are:
- "The next day" - referring to the day after an event
- "reminded Haney where he had been the night before" - suggesting something physical or mental that results from the previous night's activities

Let me check each sense:

1. "disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol)" - This fits perfectly. A hangover is the physical and mental discomfort someone experiences the day after drinking alcohol. The sentence makes sense: the hangover reminded him where he'd been (drinking) the night before.

2. "an official who remains in office after his term" - This doesn't fit. There's no context about officials or office holders in this sentence.

3. "something that has survived from the past | examples=a holdover from the sixties" - While this is also a definition of "hangover," it doesn't fit the context. The sentence is clearly about the physical/mental effects from drinking, not something surviving from the past.

The correct sense is #1.

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

Sentence: The next day, Sunday, the hangover <t>reminded</t> Haney where he had been the night before.

Senses:
1. definition=put in the mind of someone | examples=Remind me to call Mother
2. definition=assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover <t>reminded</t> Haney where he had been the night before."

In this sentence, the hangover is causing Haney to remember or become aware of where he had been. The hangover is bringing something to his mind - the memory of where he was the night before.

Sense 1: "put in the mind of someone" - This fits the sentence. The hangover is putting in Haney's mind the memory of where he had been.

Sense 2: "assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned" - This is specifically about helping someone remember lines or words they forgot, typically in a performance context. This doesn't fit.

The correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the <t>night</t> before.

Senses:
1. definition=the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside
2. definition=a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom
3. definition=the period spent sleeping | examples=I had a restless night
4. definition=the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit | examples=three nights later he collapsed
5. definition=darkness | examples=it vanished into the night
6. definition=a shortening of nightfall | examples=they worked from morning to night
7. definition=the time between sunset and midnight | examples=he watched television every night
8. definition=Roman goddess of night; daughter of Erebus; counterpart of Greek Nyx

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before."

The context is that someone had a hangover (hangover = aftereffect of drinking alcohol, typically headache, fatigue, etc.), and they're trying to remember where they had been "the night before."

In this context, "the night before" refers to the previous night - the time period when the person likely went out drinking. This is referring to a specific time period in the past - the evening/nighttime hours of the previous day.

Let me go through the senses:

1. "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - This is the general definition of night as a time period
2. "a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom" - Not applicable here
3. "the period spent sleeping" - Not what's meant here; they weren't necessarily sleeping, they were out
4. "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" - This could work; it's referring to a night as a unit of time (the night before = the previous night)
5. "darkness" - Not the primary meaning here
6. "a shortening of nightfall" - Not applicable
7. "the time between sunset and midnight" - This could work, but it's more specific than what's needed
8. Roman goddess - Not applicable

The most fitting senses are 1 or 4. The phrase "the night before" is referring to a specific night as a time period. Sense 4 specifically talks about "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" and even has an example "three nights later he collapsed" which shows it being used as a countable time unit. This fits the usage of "the night before" perfectly.

I think sense 4 is the best answer.

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

Sentence: The <t>hangover</t> in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned.

Senses:
1. definition=disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol)
2. definition=an official who remains in office after his term
3. definition=something that has survived from the past | examples=a holdover from the sixties

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The <t>hangover</t> in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned."

The context suggests that the hangover is causing a negative feeling (he groaned), and it reminded him of a conversation. This fits with the first definition about the disagreeable aftereffects from drug/alcohol use - physical hangover symptoms often cause discomfort and can trigger memories or associations.

Let me check the other options:
- Sense 2: "an official who remains in office after his term" - This doesn't fit the context at all
- Sense 3: "something that has survived from the past | examples=a holdover from the sixties" - This could theoretically work metaphorically, but the sentence specifically says "the hangover reminded him" which suggests a physical/medical context

The most natural interpretation is sense 1 - the physical/medical hangover from alcohol use, which is causing discomfort and triggering memories.

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

Sentence: The hangover in turn <t>reminded</t> him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned.

Senses:
1. definition=put in the mind of someone | examples=Remind me to call Mother
2. definition=assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned."

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

Sense 1: "put in the mind of someone" - This means to cause someone to think of or remember something. Example: "Remind me to call Mother"

Sense 2: "assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned" - This is about helping someone remember lines or words they've forgotten while performing.

In the sentence, the hangover reminded him of his conversation - meaning it caused him to think of or remember his conversation. This is clearly the first sense - putting something in someone's mind, causing them to think of or remember something.

Sense 2 is specifically about assisting someone who is acting or reciting (like in theater), which is not what's happening here.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way"

The phrase is "went for more aspirin" - this means he traveled or proceeded to get more aspirin. He left and went to get aspirin.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically" - This seems like it could fit. He went (traveled) for aspirin.

3. "move away from a place into another direction" - He's moving away to get aspirin.

15. "continue to live through hardship or adversity" - No, this doesn't fit.

20. "begin or set in motion" - He's setting out to get aspirin.

Looking at sense 1 more carefully: "change location; move, travel, or proceed" - "How fast does your new car go?" - This is about the car moving/traveling.

In the sentence, "went for more aspirin" means he traveled/proceeded to get more aspirin. This is clearly about changing location and traveling.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate. "He went" means he traveled or moved to a location to get aspirin.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 20: "begin or set in motion" with example "I start at eight in the morning" - This is about starting or beginning an action.

But the more direct meaning here is that he moved/traveled to get aspirin, which is sense 1: "change location; move, travel, or proceed."

The answer should be 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He went for more aspirin later in the <t>day</t>, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

The phrase is "later in the day" - this refers to a specific period during a 24-hour cycle, specifically the daytime portion. Let me consider each definition:

1. "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" - This would be about a 24-hour period. "Later in the day" doesn't quite fit this.

2. "some point or period in time" - This could work, but it's more general.

3. "a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance" - Doesn't fit, nothing about a special purpose here.

4. "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside" - This fits perfectly! "Later in the day" means later during the daytime hours, when it's still light outside.

5. "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)" - This could fit too, referring to the waking/working hours.

6. "an era of existence or influence" - Doesn't fit.

7. "the period of time taken by a particular planet to make a complete rotation" - Doesn't fit.

8. "the time for one complete rotation of the earth relative to a particular star" - Technical definition, doesn't fit.

9. "a period of opportunity" - Doesn't fit.

10. "United States writer" - Doesn't fit.

Between 4 and 5, sense 4 seems most accurate. "Later in the day" specifically refers to the period after sunrise and before sunset when it's light outside. Sense 5 is about working hours, which isn't as specific to this context.

The answer is 4.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

The word "passed" is used here in the context of "He... passed the surly landlord on the way". This means he went by or moved past the landlord while going somewhere.

Let me look at the relevant senses:
1. go across or through - "We passed the point where the police car had parked" - This is about going through/across a location
2. move past - "A black limousine passed by when she looked out the window" - This is about moving past something
7. travel past - "The sports car passed all the trucks" - This is about traveling past something

In the sentence, "he passed the surly landlord on the way" means he encountered/went by the landlord while walking. This is most similar to sense 7 "travel past" or sense 2 "move past".

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 2: "move past" with example "A black limousine passed by" - this fits
- Sense 7: "travel past" with example "The sports car passed all the trucks" - this also fits

The difference is subtle. In the sentence, he's moving/traveling past the landlord. Sense 7 seems more appropriate since it's about traveling past something, similar to how a sports car passes trucks.

I think the answer is 7.

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

Sentence: He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still <t>alive</t> and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life.

Senses:
1. definition=possessing life | examples=the happiest person alive
2. definition=(often followed by `with') full of life and spirit | examples=she was wonderfully alive for her age
3. definition=having life or vigor or spirit | examples=an animated and expressive face
4. definition=(followed by `to' or `of') aware of | examples=is alive to the moods of others
5. definition=in operation | examples=keep hope alive
6. definition=mentally perceptive and responsive | examples=an alert mind
7. definition=capable of erupting | examples=a live volcano

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still <t>alive</t> and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

The context here is that the narrator encountered the landlord and the landlord was still alive (not dead) and scowling. The phrase "he was still alive and scowling" suggests that the landlord was existing/living and showing his typical surly behavior.

Let me check each sense:

1. "possessing life" - This fits. The landlord is still alive, meaning he still possesses life (hasn't died).
2. "full of life and spirit" - This doesn't fit well. The landlord is scowling and described as surly, not particularly full of life and spirit.
3. "having life or vigor or spirit" - Similar to #2, this doesn't fit the surly, scowling description.
4. "(followed by 'to' or 'of') aware of" - This doesn't fit. "Alive" isn't followed by "to" or "of" in this sentence.
5. "in operation" - This doesn't fit. We're not talking about something being in operation.
6. "mentally perceptive and responsive" - This doesn't fit the context.
7. "capable of erupting" - This doesn't fit.

The most appropriate sense is #1 - "possessing life" - because the sentence is simply stating that the landlord was still alive (living/not dead).

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

Sentence: He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if <t>tenants</t> were a burden in his life.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else | examples=the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent
2. definition=a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)
3. definition=any occupant who dwells in a place

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the three senses of "tenant" provided:

The sentence is: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if <t>tenants</t> were a burden in his life."

Context: The landlord is annoyed by tenants and sees them as a burden.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else" - This is about people who pay rent to use property. The example mentions a landlord evicting a tenant who doesn't pay rent. This fits the context of a landlord complaining about tenants.

2. "a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)" - This is a more legal/formal definition about holding property by various titles. This doesn't quite fit the context.

3. "any occupant who dwells in a place" - This is broader and refers to anyone who lives/occupies a place, not necessarily someone paying rent.

In the context of the sentence, we have a landlord who sees tenants as a burden. A landlord would naturally be complaining about the people who rent from him - meaning sense 1 is the most appropriate. Sense 1 explicitly defines a tenant in relation to a landlord (someone who pays rent to the landlord).

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a <t>burden</t> in his life.

Senses:
1. definition=an onerous or difficult concern | examples=the burden of responsibility
2. definition=weight to be borne or conveyed
3. definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
4. definition=the central idea that is expanded in a document or discourse

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

"He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

In this context, the landlord views tenants as a "burden" - something that is difficult or onerous to deal with. The landlord is scowling and unhappy about having tenants.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "an onerous or difficult concern" - This fits perfectly. Tenants are portrayed as a difficult concern or worry in the landlord's life. The example "burden of responsibility" supports this usage.

2. "weight to be borne or conveyed" - This is about physical weight, which doesn't fit the context here.

3. "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work" - This is about the main point of a speech or text, which doesn't apply here.

4. "the central idea that is expanded in a document or discourse" - This is also about the main theme of a document or speech, which doesn't apply.

The correct answer is sense 1, as it refers to tenants being an onerous or difficult concern in the landlord's life.

Sentence: He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his <t>life</t>.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his <t>life</t>."

The phrase is "tenants were a burden in his life." This is talking about the landlord's life - meaning his existence, the way he lives, his lifestyle or manner of living.

Let me look at the definitions:
1. a characteristic state or mode of living | social life - This could fit, as it's about the mode of living
2. the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities - This could also fit
3. the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living - This could fit
4. the condition of living or the state of being alive - This is about the state of being alive, not quite right
5. the period during which something is functional - About functionality, not right
6. the period between birth and the present time - Specific time period, doesn't fit as well
7. the period from the present until death - Specific time period, doesn't fit
8. a living person - Not right
9. animation and energy in action or expression - Not right
10. living things collectively - Not right
11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms - Not right
12. an account of the series of events making up a person's life - Not right
13. a motive for living - Not right
14. a prison term - Not right

The phrase "tenants were a burden in his life" means they were a burden in the way he lives, his lifestyle, his existence. This is referring to definition 1 or 3. Definition 1 is "a characteristic state or mode of living" and definition 3 is "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living."

I think definition 1 or 3 both fit, but looking more carefully:
- Definition 1 focuses on the "characteristic state or mode of living"
- Definition 3 focuses on "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"

In context, "tenants were a burden in his life" is saying they made his life (his existence, his lifestyle) burdensome. Definition 1 seems strongest—it captures how tenants weigh on his characteristic way of living as a landlord. Definition 2 could work too, describing the experience and events of his daily existence, but definition 1 more precisely captures the sense of his lifestyle being burdened by tenant interactions.

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

Sentence: Phil shrugged and <t>ignored</t> him.

Senses:
1. definition=refuse to acknowledge | examples=She cut him dead at the meeting
2. definition=bar from attention or consideration | examples=She dismissed his advances
3. definition=fail to notice
4. definition=give little or no attention to | examples=Disregard the errors
5. definition=be ignorant of or in the dark about

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "Phil shrugged and ignored him."

The context here is that Phil is choosing not to pay attention to or respond to someone ("him"). The shrug suggests an indifferent, dismissive action.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "refuse to acknowledge" - This is about outright refusing to accept something. This could fit, but it's more about refusing to admit something exists.

2. "bar from attention or consideration" - This means to exclude from one's thoughts or consideration. This is close but emphasizes exclusion.

3. "fail to notice" - This means not seeing or perceiving something, often unintentionally.

4. "give little or no attention to" - This means to disregard or not pay attention to something. In the context "Phil shrugged and ignored him," Phil is deliberately not giving attention to the person.

5. "be ignorant of or in the dark about" - This means to not know about something.

In the sentence, Phil is deliberately choosing not to pay attention to someone (the pronoun "him"). This is an intentional action. The best fit is sense 4: "give little or no attention to" because Phil is shrugging and disregarding this person, not paying them attention.

Sense 1 could also work but is more about refusing to acknowledge rather than simply not giving attention.

I think sense 4 is the best answer.

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

Sentence: By Wednesday the landlord was still <t>alive</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=possessing life | examples=the happiest person alive
2. definition=(often followed by `with') full of life and spirit | examples=she was wonderfully alive for her age
3. definition=having life or vigor or spirit | examples=an animated and expressive face
4. definition=(followed by `to' or `of') aware of | examples=is alive to the moods of others
5. definition=in operation | examples=keep hope alive
6. definition=mentally perceptive and responsive | examples=an alert mind
7. definition=capable of erupting | examples=a live volcano

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "By Wednesday the landlord was still alive."

In this context, "alive" refers to the landlord still being alive, meaning the landlord has not died - the landlord still possesses life.

Let me check each sense:

1. "possessing life" - Yes, this fits. The landlord still has life/is not dead.
2. "full of life and spirit" - This doesn't seem to be the primary meaning here. The sentence is just stating the landlord is alive, not necessarily full of spirit.
3. "having life or vigor or spirit" - Similar to #2, not the primary meaning.
4. "aware of" - Doesn't fit.
5. "in operation" - Doesn't fit.
6. "mentally perceptive and responsive" - Doesn't fit.
7. "capable of erupting" - Doesn't fit.

The sentence is simply stating that the landlord is still alive, meaning the landlord still has life. This is sense 1: "possessing life."

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=send via the postal service | examples=I'll mail you the check tomorrow
2. definition=cause to be directed or transmitted to another place | examples=send me your latest results

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two senses of "mail" provided.

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

The verb "mailed" is used in the context of sending a check through the postal service to his wife.

Let me examine both senses:

1. "send via the postal service" - example: "I'll mail you the check tomorrow"
   - This fits perfectly. Haney is sending (via postal service) the monthly check to his wife.

2. "cause to be directed or transmitted to another place" - This is a more general sense about directing or transmitting something, but it doesn't specifically refer to the postal service.

In the sentence, Haney is specifically mailing a check, which is the classic usage of "mail" meaning to send something through the postal service.

The answer is 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a written order directing a bank to pay money | examples=he paid all his bills by check
2. definition=an appraisal of the state of affairs | examples=they made an assay of the contents
3. definition=the bill in a restaurant | examples=he asked the waiter for the check
4. definition=the state of inactivity following an interruption | examples=the negotiations were in arrest
5. definition=additional proof that something that was believed (some fact or hypothesis or theory) is correct | examples=fossils provided further confirmation of the evolutionary theory
6. definition=the act of inspecting or verifying | examples=they made a check of their equipment
7. definition=a mark indicating that something has been noted or completed etc. | examples=as he called the role he put a check mark by each student's name

9. definition=a mark left after a small piece has been chopped or broken off of something
10. definition=a textile pattern of squares or crossed lines (resembling a checkerboard) | examples=she wore a skirt with checks
11. definition=the act of restraining power or action or limiting excess | examples=his common sense is a bridle to his quick temper
12. definition=obstructing an opponent in ice hockey
13. definition=(chess) a direct attack on an opponent's king

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

I need to understand what kind of "check" is being used here. The context says:
- Haney mailed the monthly check
- It's for separate maintenance
- It's to his wife Lolly

A monthly check for separate maintenance (alimony/support payments) would be a written order from a bank to pay money to someone. This is a payment instrument.

Looking at the senses:
1. definition=a written order directing a bank to pay money | examples=he paid all his bills by check

This is clearly sense 1 - a check (cheque) as a payment instrument, like a bank check used to pay bills or in this case, for maintenance payments.

Let me verify the other senses don't fit:
2. appraisal - no
3. restaurant bill - no
4. state of inactivity - no
5. proof/confirmation - no
6. inspection/verification - no
7. mark/checkmark - no
8. something interfering - no
9. mark from chipping - no
10. textile pattern - no
11. restraint - no
12. ice hockey - no
13. chess - no

Yes, it's definitely sense 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=activity involved in maintaining something in good working order | examples=he wrote the manual on car care
2. definition=means of maintenance of a family or group
3. definition=court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated
4. definition=the act of sustaining life by food or providing a means of subsistence | examples=they were in want of sustenance
5. definition=the unauthorized interference in a legal action by a person having no interest in it (as by helping one party with money or otherwise to continue the action) so as to obstruct justice or promote unnecessary litigation or unsettle the peace of the community | examples=unlike champerty, criminal maintenance does not necessarily involve personal profit

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence carefully:

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

The key context clues are:
- "monthly check" - paid regularly
- "to his wife Lolly" - paid to a spouse
- "separate maintenance" - this is a legal term referring to spousal support

This is clearly referring to court-ordered support payments made from one spouse to another. Let me check each definition:

1. Activity involved in maintaining something in good working order - No, this is about cars/machinery
2. Means of maintenance of a family or group - This is too vague, could be related but not specific
3. Court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated - YES, this matches perfectly. The context shows a payment to his wife, and "separate maintenance" is specifically a legal term for this
4. The act of sustaining life by food or providing means of subsistence - This is more general/archaic
5. The unauthorized interference in a legal action - No, this is a legal term but different context

The answer is 3. The phrase "separate maintenance" is a legal term that specifically refers to court-ordered spousal support payments.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=hope for; have a wish | examples=I wish I could go home now
2. definition=prefer or wish to do something | examples=Do you care to try this dish?
3. definition=make or express a wish | examples=I wish that Christmas were over
4. definition=feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of
5. definition=order politely; express a wish for
6. definition=invoke upon | examples=wish you a nice evening

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and <t>wished</t> the stranger could do something about her"

In this sentence, "wished" is used in the context where Haney is expressing a desire or hope concerning the stranger and what he/she could do. The structure is "wished the stranger could do something" - meaning Haney is expressing a hope about what the stranger could do.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "hope for; have a wish" - This is about having a wish for something. The example "I wish I could go home now" shows expressing a wish about one's own situation.

2. "prefer or wish to do something" - This is about preferences.

3. "make or express a wish" - This is about expressing a wish, similar to sense 1.

4. "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" - This is about expressing a desire or hope about someone/something else's future or fortune.

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

6. "invoke upon" - This is about calling upon or invoking something, like "wish you a nice evening."

In the sentence, Haney "wished the stranger could do something about her" - this means he's expressing a desire or hope that the stranger would do something. This is expressing a desire/hope about what someone else could do (the stranger's actions).

This matches sense 4: "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" - because he's expressing a hope concerning what the stranger could do.

The answer is 4.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found
2. definition=an individual that one is not acquainted with

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

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

Context clues:
- Haney is married to Lolly (his wife)
- They are separated (he's sending "monthly check for separate maintenance")
- He wishes "the stranger" could do something about her (Lolly)

The key here is understanding who "the stranger" refers to. Given that Haney is sending a check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and he's wishing that "the stranger" could do something about her, it seems he's referring to Lolly as a stranger - meaning someone he doesn't know or is unfamiliar with, despite being married to her. This suggests their relationship has become distant enough that he views her as someone unfamiliar to him.

Sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" - This would mean Lolly doesn't belong in the environment she's in.

Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - This would mean Haney is not acquainted with Lolly, despite being married to her, which fits the context of a separated couple who have become strangers to each other.

Sense 2 seems more appropriate here. Haney has become so distant from his wife Lolly that he refers to her as "the stranger" - someone he's not acquainted with anymore.

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

Senses:

2. definition=carry out or perform an action | examples=John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters
3. definition=get (something) done | examples=I did my job
4. definition=proceed or get along | examples=How is she doing in her new job?
5. definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | examples=cause a commotion

12. definition=arrange attractively | examples=dress my hair for the wedding
13. definition=travel or traverse (a distance) | examples=This car does 150 miles per hour

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could <t>do</t> something about her"

The structure is "wished the stranger could do something about her"

Let me think about what "do something about her" means in this context. It means to take some action or perform some action concerning "her" (his wife Lolly).

Looking at the senses:
1. engage in - not really fitting
2. carry out or perform an action - this could fit, as "do something" means to perform/carry out an action
3. get (something) done - this could also fit
4. proceed or get along - doesn't fit
5. give rise to; cause to happen - could fit
6. carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions - doesn't fit
7. be sufficient; be adequate - doesn't fit
8. create or design - doesn't fit
9. behave in a certain manner - doesn't fit
10. spend time in prison - doesn't fit
11. carry on or function - doesn't fit
12. arrange attractively - doesn't fit
13. travel or traverse - doesn't fit

The phrase "do something about her" is a common expression meaning to take action or perform an action regarding something/someone. This most directly corresponds to sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" - which includes the example "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters." These are all specific actions.

However, sense 3 "get (something) done" could also work - "wished the stranger could get something done about her"

But sense 2 seems more general and appropriate for "do something" - it's about performing/carrying out an action. The example "John did the painting" is very similar to "do something about her."

I think the answer is 2.

19. definition=proceed or get along | examples=How is she doing in her new job?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

In this context, "coming home from work" means returning to his home from work. He is traveling/moving toward home.

Let me go through the senses:

1. "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody" - This seems to fit. He is moving toward/approaching his home.

2. "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - This could also work, but it's more about the act of arriving/reaching.

3. "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" - This is about events happening over time, not movement.

4. "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position" - Not applicable here.

5-21. Most of these don't seem to fit.

Looking at sense 1 and 2 more carefully:
- Sense 1: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody" with example "He came singing down the road" - This is about the movement/traveling action
- Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" with example "She arrived home at 7 o'clock" - This is about arriving/reaching the destination

In the sentence "Coming home from work," the focus is on the act of traveling toward/approaching home. He's in the process of coming home. This seems more like sense 1 (the movement toward) rather than sense 2 (reaching the destination).

Actually, I think sense 1 is the best fit here - he is moving toward/approaching his home from work.

9. definition=an institution where people are cared for | examples=a home for the elderly

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

In this context, "home" refers to the place where someone lives - specifically, the apartment building where they reside. The person is coming back from work to where they live.

Let me check each definition:

1. "where you live at a particular time" - This seems to fit. He's coming home from work, which means returning to where he lives.

2. "housing that someone is living in" - This could also fit, as it refers to the actual dwelling/housing.

3. "the country or state or city where you live" - This is too broad; the context suggests a specific residence, not a country/state/city.

4. "(baseball) base consisting of a rubber slab where the batter stands" - This is about baseball, not applicable.

5. "the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end" - This is military/operational context, not applicable.

6. "place where something began and flourished" - Not applicable.

7. "an environment offering affection and security" - This is more abstract/emotional.

8. "a social unit living together" - This refers to a family/household.

9. "an institution where people are cared for" - Not applicable.

The most direct and primary meaning is #1: "where you live at a particular time" because he's coming home from work to the apartment building where he lives at the particular time in question.

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

The context is "coming home from work" - this is referring to the place where someone is employed and spends their working day.

Let me check each definition:

1. "activity directed toward making or doing something" - Not this one, it's too general
2. "a product produced or accomplished through effort" - No, not referring to a product
3. "the occupation for which you are paid" - This could fit
4. "applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject" - No, this is about studying
5. "(physics) a manifestation of energy" - No, this is a physics term
6. "a place where work is done" - This fits perfectly! "Coming home from work" means coming home from the place of employment
7. "the total output of a writer or artist" - No, this is about creative output

The best fit is sense 6: "a place where work is done" with the example "he arrived at work early today" which is very similar to the sentence structure in question.

The answer is 6.

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

The person is coming home and sees a police car. This is about perceiving something with their eyes - they visually perceived the police car.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - This matches perfectly. The example "You have to be a good observer to see all the details" also fits this usage pattern.

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

3. "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - This is about experiencing something at the same time.

4. "imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind" - This is mental imagery.

5. "deem to be" - This is about considering or viewing.

6. "get to know or become aware of" - This is about learning/becoming aware.

7. "see or watch" - This seems similar to 1, but the example "view a show on television" suggests watching something unfold over time.

8. "come together" - This is about meeting someone.

And so on...

In the sentence, "he was startled to see a police car" - the person is visually perceiving the police car. This is the basic, primary sense of "see" meaning to perceive with the eyes.

This is sense #1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight"
