Let me analyze the sentence: "Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, <t>turned</t> on his heel and went back to his truck."

The phrase "turned on his heel" means the driver pivoted or rotated around his heel - essentially spinning around to face a different direction and walk back to the truck.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense" - Turn towards me. This seems to fit - he turned around/changed direction.

4. "cause to move around or rotate" - turn a key. This is about making something rotate.

6. "pass to the other side of" - turn the corner. This is about going around something.

9. "move around an axis or a center" - The wheels are turning. This describes rotational movement itself.

19. "cause to move along an axis or into a new direction" - turn your face to the wall. This could fit.

23. "direct at someone" - She turned a smile on me. This is about directing something.

The phrase "turned on his heel" most directly fits sense 1 - "change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense." The driver changed his orientation/direction by turning on his heel.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Turn on his heel" is a physical action where the driver pivots. This is about changing direction/orientation. Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense" with the example "Turn towards me" - which involves the same kind of physical directional change.

The answer should be 1.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his <t>heel</t> and went back to his truck."

The phrase "turned on his heel" is a common idiom that means to turn around quickly. In this context, we need to identify which sense of "heel" is being used.

Let's look at each sense:
1. The bottom of a shoe or boot - This refers to the shoe part
2. The back part of the human foot - This refers to the actual body part
3. Someone morally reprehensible - Not applicable here
4. A crusty end of bread - Not applicable here
5. The lower end of a ship's mast - Not applicable here
6. Part of a golf clubhead - Not applicable here

The phrase "turned on his heel" refers to the physical action of pivoting on one's heel. When someone "turns on their heel," they're physically rotating their body by pivoting on the heel of their foot. This is referring to the actual anatomical heel - the back part of the human foot (sense 2), not the shoe heel (sense 1).

The answer is 2.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 6. Return only the integer.

Let me reconsider. The phrase "turned on his heel" - what does this mean?

When someone "turns on their heel," they are pivoting/rotating quickly. The pivot point is where they're standing. This could be:

1. The bottom/back of a shoe - this is the physical thing touching the ground when you turn
2. The back part of the human foot - this is the anatomical part
3. A morally reprehensible person - doesn't fit
4. Crusty end of bread - doesn't fit
5. Lower end of ship's mast - doesn't fit
6. Golf club part - doesn't fit

The phrase "turned on his heel" is an idiom/expression. When you physically turn on your heel, you're rotating on the back part of your foot. But the shoe heel is what's actually making contact with the ground.

Actually, thinking about it more carefully - when you "turn on your heel," you're typically pivoting on the heel of your shoe/boot (the elevated back part that touches the ground). So it could be sense 1 - the heel of the shoe/boot that provides the pivot point.

Or it could be sense 2 - the back part of the foot.

The most common interpretation of "turn on one's heel" is to pivot quickly, using the heel as the pivot point. This is most likely referring to the physical heel of the shoe (sense 1) or the anatomical heel (sense 2).

Given that my previous answer of 2 was marked as invalid, the answer must be 1.

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

Sentence: Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his <t>truck</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling
2. definition=a handcart that has a frame with two low wheels and a ledge at the bottom and handles at the top; used to move crates or other heavy objects

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

"Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his <t>truck</t>."

The sentence mentions "the driver" went back to his truck. A driver is someone operating a vehicle. The context suggests the driver is returning to a vehicle they use for their work or transportation.

Sense 1: "an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling" - This fits the context of a driver returning to their vehicle.

Sense 2: "a handcart that has a frame with two low wheels and a ledge at the bottom and handles at the top; used to move crates or other heavy objects" - This is a hand-powered cart, not a vehicle a driver would typically operate or return to.

Given that the sentence refers to "the driver" returning to their "truck," this clearly refers to sense 1, which is an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time."

The phrase "given it much thought" means "devoted/dedicated thought to something" or "dedicated thought to it."

Looking at the senses provided:

Sense 10: "dedicate | examples=give thought to"

This is exactly what the sentence is saying. "Give thought to" is the example provided for sense 10, and in the sentence, "given it much thought" is using "give" in the sense of dedicating or devoting thought to something.

The answer is 10.

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

Sentence: Haney hadn't given it much <t>thought</t> at the time.

Senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
2. definition=the process of using your mind to consider something carefully | examples=thinking always made him frown
3. definition=the organized beliefs of a period or group or individual | examples=19th century thought
4. definition=a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty | examples=my opinion differs from yours

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney hadn't given it much <t>thought</t> at the time."

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

Let me go through each sense:

1. "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - This would be about what someone is thinking about. In the sentence, "hadn't given it much thought" doesn't quite fit this definition. This doesn't seem right.

2. "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully" - This refers to the act of thinking, the process of cognition. The phrase "hadn't given it much thought" means "hadn't spent much time/effort thinking about it carefully." This fits well - Haney hadn't engaged in much thinking/consideration of it. This seems correct.

3. "the organized beliefs of a period or group or individual" - This refers to a system of beliefs or ideology. "Hadn't given it much thought" wouldn't make sense in this context. This doesn't fit.

4. "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty" - This would be an opinion or belief. "Hadn't given it much thought" doesn't really fit this either.

The best fit is sense 2 - "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully." The phrase "give something thought" means to think about it, to consider it - which is the process of thinking.

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

Sentence: Now he <t>recalled</t> it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off.

Senses:
1. definition=recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection | examples=I can't remember saying any such thing
2. definition=go back to something earlier | examples=This harks back to a previous remark of his
3. definition=call to mind | examples=His words echoed John F. Kennedy
4. definition=summon to return | examples=The ambassador was recalled to his country
5. definition=cause one's (or someone else's) thoughts or attention to return from a reverie or digression | examples=She was recalled by a loud laugh
6. definition=make unavailable; bar from sale or distribution | examples=The company recalled the product when it was found to be faulty
7. definition=cause to be returned | examples=recall the defective auto tires

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Now he <t>recalled</t> it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off."

In this context, "recalled" is being used to mean that the person is bringing something back to mind - they are remembering or recollecting something from memory. The subject "he" is trying to remember "it" and is doing so "very clearly."

Looking at the senses:
1. "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection" - This fits! He's recalling/remembering something from his memory.
2. "go back to something earlier" - This doesn't fit; it's not about going back to a previous topic.
3. "call to mind" - This could fit as it means to bring something to mind, which is similar to recalling from memory.
4. "summon to return" - This doesn't fit; nothing is being summoned.
5. "cause one's thoughts or attention to return from a reverie or digression" - This doesn't fit; he's not being brought back from a daydream by someone else.
6. "make unavailable; bar from sale or distribution" - This doesn't fit; it's not about products.
7. "cause to be returned" - This doesn't fit; nothing is being returned.

Sense 1 is the most direct match: "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection." The example given is "I can't remember saying any such thing" which has the same meaning as our sentence where he recalls/remembers something from memory.

Sense 3 "call to mind" is also similar, but sense 1 is more directly about recollecting from memory, which is what's happening in the sentence.

The answer is 1.

Sentence: Now he recalled it very clearly, and <t>wondered</t> what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off.

Senses:
1. definition=have a wish or desire to know something | examples=He wondered who had built this beautiful church
2. definition=place in doubt or express doubtful speculation | examples=I wonder whether this was the right thing to do
3. definition=be amazed at | examples=We marvelled at the child's linguistic abilities

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

The sentence is: "Now he recalled it very clearly, and <t>wondered</t> what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "have a wish or desire to know something" - Example: "He wondered who had built this beautiful church" - This fits the usage in the sentence. The character is wondering (has a desire to know) what the truck driver had seen.

2. "place in doubt or express doubtful speculation" - Example: "I wonder whether this was the right thing to do" - This could also fit, as there's an element of speculation about what the truck driver saw.

3. "be amazed at" - Example: "We marvelled at the child's linguistic abilities" - This doesn't seem to fit well, as the sentence doesn't indicate amazement.

Looking more closely at the sentence, "wondered what the truck driver had seen" - this is asking/wanting to know something specific. The character is curious about what the truck driver saw. This most clearly matches sense 1: "have a wish or desire to know something."

The answer is 1.

23. definition=match or meet | examples=I saw the bet of one of my fellow players
24. definition=make sense of; assign a meaning to | examples=What message do you see in this letter?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had <t>seen</t> in those eyes to make him back off."

The context is that he's wondering what the truck driver had seen in those eyes. This is asking about what the truck driver perceived by sight or what visual impression he got from looking at those eyes.

Let me check the definition of each sense:

1. "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - This could fit, as "seen in those eyes" means to perceive something by looking at those eyes.

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

3. "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - Not quite right.

4. "imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind" - Not really what's happening here.

5. "deem to be" - No.

6. "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - Could fit, but not the best match.

7. "see or watch" - This is similar to sense 1, about watching/viewing.

8. "come together" - No.

9. "find out, learn, or determine with certainty" - Possibly, but not the best.

10. "be careful or certain to do something" - No.

11-22. These are more specialized meanings.

The most natural reading is that he was wondering what the truck driver had perceived/seen (by looking) in those eyes. This is sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - the basic visual perception meaning.

The answer is 1.

Let me analyze the sentence: "Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to <t>make</t> him back off."

The word "make" here is used in the context of "cause him to back off" - it's causing someone to do something (back off).

Let me look at the relevant senses:
- Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become" - examples: make a mess
- Sense 4: "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" - examples: The ads induced me to buy a VCR
- Sense 8: "compel or make somebody or something to act in a certain way" - examples: People cannot be made to integrate just by passing a law!

In the sentence, "make him back off" means "cause him to back off" or "force/compel him to back off."

Sense 4 specifically says "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" which is exactly what's happening here - the truck driver's action (backing off) is being caused by what he saw in the eyes.

Sense 8 is "compel or make somebody or something to act in a certain way" - this is also very similar and could work.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 4: "The ads induced me to buy a VCR" - this is similar to our sentence
- Sense 8: "People cannot be made to integrate just by passing a law!" - this is also similar

I think Sense 4 is the best match because it specifically focuses on "cause to do" which directly applies to "make him back off" (cause him to do the action of backing off).

Actually, looking more carefully, Sense 8 with "compel" might be more appropriate since the eyes "made" or forced him to back off. But Sense 4 "cause to do" is also very fitting.
Sense 4 best captures what's happening—the eyes directly caused the truck driver to perform the action of backing away, which aligns perfectly with the "cause to do" definition rather than the broader compulsion implied by Sense 8.

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

Sentence: It must have been the <t>sort</t> of look that can call a bluff without saying a word.

Senses:
1. definition=a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality | examples=sculpture is a form of art
2. definition=an approximate definition or example | examples=she wore a sort of magenta dress
3. definition=a person of a particular character or nature | examples=what sort of person is he?
4. definition=an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion | examples=the bottleneck in mail delivery is the process of sorting

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses of "sort":

"It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."

Looking at each sense:

1. "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality" - This could fit. A "sort" of look would be a type/category of look.

2. "an approximate definition or example" - This means something like "kind of" or "somewhat" - as in "she wore a sort of magenta dress" (approximately magenta, not exactly). In the sentence, "the sort of look" could mean something like "the kind of" or "a typical example of" a look.

3. "a person of a particular character or nature" - This doesn't fit because we're talking about a look, not a person.

4. "an operation that segregates items..." - This is a technical definition and doesn't fit the sentence.

The key question is whether sense 1 or sense 2 is being used.

Sense 1 emphasizes a clear category based on common characteristics.
Sense 2 emphasizes an approximate or typical example.

In "the sort of look," the phrase seems to mean "the kind of look" or "a typical example of a look" that can call a bluff. This is more aligned with sense 2, which is about an approximate definition or example of something.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2's definition says "an approximate definition or example" - this is about using "sort" to give an approximate or typical example. The sentence "the sort of look" is giving a typical or characteristic example of what kind of look it was.

I think sense 1 is actually the better fit here - it's clearly a category/type of look with particular characteristics (the ability to call a bluff without words).

Wait, let me reconsider. Sense 1's example is "sculpture is a form of art" - here "form" is similar to "sort" and it means a category.
Comparing the two senses more directly: sense 2 uses "sort of" to indicate something approximate or vague, while sense 1 treats "sort" as a distinct category with defining features. In this sentence, "the sort of look" refers to a specific type of look characterized by its ability to call a bluff silently—this points toward sense 1 as the primary meaning.

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

Sentence: It must have been the sort of <t>look</t> that can call a bluff without saying a word.

Senses:
1. definition=the feelings expressed on a person's face | examples=a sad expression
2. definition=the act of directing the eyes toward something and perceiving it visually | examples=he went out to have a look
3. definition=physical appearance | examples=I don't like the looks of this place
4. definition=the general atmosphere of a place or situation and the effect that it has on people | examples=the feel of the city excited him

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It must have been the sort of <t>look</t> that can call a bluff without saying a word."

I need to determine what "look" means in this context.

The sentence is saying that a certain "look" (expression/appearance on someone's face) can call a bluff without saying anything - meaning just by the expression on their face, they can challenge or confront someone without words.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the feelings expressed on a person's face | examples=a sad expression" - This seems to fit. A "look" that conveys feelings/expression without words would match this definition.

2. "the act of directing the eyes toward something and perceiving it visually | examples=he went out to have a look" - This is about the act of looking, not the appearance. This doesn't fit.

3. "physical appearance | examples=I don't like the looks of this place" - This is about the overall appearance of something, often a place. While it could relate to facial appearance, it's broader.

4. "the general atmosphere of a place or situation and the effect that it has on people" - This is about atmosphere, not facial expressions.

The sentence is talking about a facial expression - the sort of expression/look that someone can give with their face to call someone's bluff without saying a word. This is sense 1 - "the feelings expressed on a person's face."

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

Sentence: It must have been the sort of look that can call a <t>bluff</t> without saying a word.

Senses:
1. definition=a high steep bank (usually formed by river erosion)
2. definition=pretense that your position is stronger than it really is | examples=his bluff succeeded in getting him accepted
3. definition=the act of bluffing in poker; deception by a false show of confidence in the strength of your cards

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."

The phrase "call a bluff" is an idiom. When you "call someone's bluff," it means you challenge them when they are pretending to have a stronger position than they actually do. You're essentially exposing their deception.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a high steep bank (usually formed by river erosion)" - This is a geological/geographical meaning. This doesn't fit the context.

2. "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is | examples=his bluff succeeded in getting him accepted" - This fits perfectly. The phrase "call a bluff" means to challenge someone's pretense or false claim about being stronger than they are.

3. "the act of bluffing in poker; deception by a false show of confidence in the strength of your cards" - This is more specific to poker. While it's related to the general meaning of bluff (deception), the sentence isn't specifically about poker.

Both 2 and 3 involve deception and false confidence, but sense 2 is the broader definition that encompasses the general usage of "calling someone's bluff" in everyday language. Sense 3 is more specifically about poker.

The phrase "call a bluff" is a general idiom used beyond just poker, and it refers to challenging someone's pretense or false claim about their position/strength. This best matches sense 2.

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

Sentence: It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without <t>saying</t> a word.

Senses:
1. definition=express in words | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her
2. definition=report or maintain | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime
3. definition=express a supposition | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth
4. definition=have or contain a certain wording or form | examples=The passage reads as follows
5. definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | examples=I said to him to go home
6. definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way | examples=She pronounces French words in a funny way
7. definition=communicate or express nonverbally | examples=What does this painting say?
8. definition=utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office
9. definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | examples=I say let's forget this whole business
10. definition=recite or repeat a fixed text | examples=Say grace
11. definition=indicate | examples=The clock says noon

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."

The key phrase is "without saying a word" - this is actually a common idiom meaning "without needing to speak" or "without needing to express verbally."

But looking at the sentence more carefully, it's saying that a look can "call a bluff" without "saying a word."

"Saying a word" here means communicating or expressing something. The look itself is communicating/expressing something without using spoken words.

Let me go through the senses:
1. express in words - This would be about verbal expression specifically
2. report or maintain - Not fitting
3. express a supposition - Not fitting
4. have or contain a certain wording or form - Not fitting
5. give instructions - Not fitting
6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way - This is about how something is said verbally
7. communicate or express nonverbally - This is about expressing WITHOUT words! The example is "What does this painting say?" - a painting communicates meaning without words
8. utter aloud - This is about speaking out loud
9. state as one's opinion - Not fitting
10. recite or repeat a fixed text - Not fitting
11. indicate - Could work, but less precise

The answer is clearly 7 - "communicate or express nonverbally" because the sentence is about expressing or communicating something (calling a bluff) without using words (without saying a word).

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

Sentence: It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a <t>word</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a unit of language that native speakers can identify | examples=words are the blocks from which sentences are made
2. definition=a brief statement | examples=he didn't say a word about it

4. definition=a verbal command for action | examples=when I give the word, charge!
5. definition=an exchange of views on some topic | examples=we had a good discussion
6. definition=a promise | examples=he gave his word
7. definition=a word is a string of bits stored in computer memory | examples=large computers use words up to 64 bits long
8. definition=the divine word of God; the second person in the Trinity (incarnate in Jesus)
9. definition=a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group | examples=he forgot the password
10. definition=the sacred writings of the Christian religions | examples=he went to carry the Word to the heathen

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."

In this context, "word" means a brief utterance or statement. The phrase "without saying a word" means "without speaking" or "without making any verbal statement."

Let me check each sense:

1. "a unit of language that native speakers can identify" - This is the basic linguistic definition, but that's not how it's used here.

2. "a brief statement" - This fits! "Without saying a word" means without making any statement or without speaking.

3. "information about recent and important events" - No, this doesn't fit.

4. "a verbal command for action" - No, not in this context.

5. "an exchange of views on some topic" - No.

6. "a promise" - No, though "give one's word" is a phrase using this sense.

7. "a word is a string of bits stored in computer memory" - No, this is too technical.

8. "the divine word of God; the second person in the Trinity" - No.

9. "a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group" - No.

10. "the sacred writings of the Christian religions" - No.

The correct answer is sense 2: "a brief statement" because "without saying a word" is an idiom meaning "without speaking" or "without uttering any words/statements."

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

Sentence: When the <t>light</t> went their way, they went on across the street.

Senses:
1. definition=(physics) electromagnetic radiation that can produce a visual sensation | examples=the light was filtered through a soft glass window
2. definition=any device serving as a source of illumination | examples=he stopped the car and turned off the lights
3. definition=a particular perspective or aspect of a situation | examples=although he saw it in a different light, he still did not understand
4. definition=the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light | examples=its luminosity is measured relative to that of our sun
5. definition=an illuminated area | examples=he stepped into the light
6. definition=a condition of spiritual awareness; divine illumination | examples=follow God's light
7. definition=the visual effect of illumination on objects or scenes as created in pictures | examples=he could paint the lightest light and the darkest dark
8. definition=a person regarded very fondly | examples=the light of my life
9. definition=having abundant light or illumination | examples=they played as long as it was light
10. definition=mental understanding as an enlightening experience | examples=he finally saw the light
11. definition=merriment expressed by a brightness or gleam or animation of countenance | examples=he had a sparkle in his eye
12. definition=public awareness | examples=it brought the scandal to light
13. definition=a divine presence believed by Quakers to enlighten and guide the soul
14. definition=a visual warning signal | examples=they saw the light of the beacon
15. definition=a device for lighting or igniting fuel or charges or fires | examples=do you have a light?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "When the light went their way, they went on across the street."

The phrase "light went their way" is interesting. We need to think about what "light" means here. Let me consider the context:

- If it was about the traffic light turning green or changing, that would make sense for why they could then go across the street.
- This seems to be talking about a traffic signal that allowed them to proceed.

Looking at the senses:
1. Electromagnetic radiation - doesn't fit
2. Device serving as a source of illumination - could be a traffic light
3. A particular perspective - doesn't fit
4. Quality of being luminous - doesn't fit
5. An illuminated area - doesn't fit
6. Spiritual awareness - doesn't fit
7. Visual effect in pictures - doesn't fit
8. Person regarded fondly - doesn't fit
9. Having abundant light - doesn't fit
10. Mental understanding - doesn't fit
11. Merriment/brightness of expression - doesn't fit
12. Public awareness - doesn't fit
13. Divine presence (Quaker) - doesn't fit
14. A visual warning signal - this could fit! A traffic light is a visual warning signal
15. Device for lighting fires - doesn't fit

Actually, sense 2 (device serving as a source of illumination) would be most natural if referring to a traffic light. But sense 14 (a visual warning signal) is also applicable since traffic lights are visual signals.

Given the context of "went their way, they went on across the street," this is clearly about a traffic signal. Sense 14 "a visual warning signal" with example "they saw the light of the beacon" seems most appropriate for a traffic light context, as it's being used as a signal that controls their movement.

I think the answer is 14.

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

Sentence: When the light went their <t>way</t>, they went on across the street.

Senses:
1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | examples=her dignified manner
2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | examples=a means of control
3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | examples=he looked the other direction
4. definition=the condition of things generally | examples=that's the way it is
5. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue
6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another | examples=he said he was looking for the way out
7. definition=a journey or passage | examples=they are on the way
8. definition=space for movement | examples=room to pass
9. definition=the property of distance in general | examples=it's a long way to Moscow
10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses | examples=if I had my way
11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of' | examples=they didn't have much in the way of clothing
12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "When the light went their <t>way</t>, they went on across the street."

The key phrase is "the light went their way." This means the light (traffic light) turned in their favor, allowing them to proceed across the street.

In this context, "way" refers to the direction or course that the light is going. More specifically, it's about things going in a particular direction or being favorable to someone.

Let me check each definition:

1. "how something is done" - not really about manner here
2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - not about the means itself
3. "a line leading to a place or point" / "direction" - this could fit, as "the light went their way" means the light went in a direction favorable to them
4. "the condition of things generally" - not really about condition
5. "a course of conduct" - not about conduct
6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - not about a physical road or path
7. "a journey or passage" - not about a journey
8. "space for movement" - this could fit! "When the light went their way" means they had the space/clearance to move across the street
9. "property of distance in general" - not about distance
10. "doing as one pleases" - this could relate to their preferences
11. "a general category of things" - not applicable
12. "a portion divided into shares" - not applicable

I think the best answer is 8 - "space for movement" / "room to pass". When the light went their way, they had the space/clearance to cross. This is about making space for them to move across the street.

Actually, thinking more carefully - "the light went their way" is an idiom meaning things were in their favor. This is most closely related to sense 8 about "space for movement" or having room to pass.

When circumstances align favorably, you gain the opportunity to proceed forward.

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

Sentence: When the light went their way, they <t>went on</t> across the street.

Senses:
1. definition=continue a certain state, condition, or activity | examples=Keep on working!
2. definition=come to pass | examples=What is happening?
3. definition=move forward, also in the metaphorical sense | examples=Time marches on
4. definition=continue talking;  he continued, | examples=I know it's hard,
5. definition=start running, functioning, or operating | examples=the lights went on

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "When the light went their way, they <t>went on</t> across the street."

The phrase "went on" is used here to mean the action of moving across the street. They continued forward across the street after the light went their way.

Let me check each sense:

1. "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" - This could fit, as "going on" could mean continuing an action
2. "come to pass" - This doesn't fit well
3. "move forward, also in the metaphorical sense" - This fits well. The example "Time marches on" shows forward movement/progress. In the sentence, they are moving forward/across the street.
4. "continue talking" - This doesn't fit; there's no talking happening
5. "start running, functioning, or operating" - This doesn't fit; the lights already went their way, not starting to function

The best fit is sense 3 - "move forward, also in the metaphorical sense" - because the people are literally moving forward across the street after the light (traffic light) allowed them to proceed.

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

Sentence: When the light went their way, they went on across the <t>street</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a thoroughfare (usually including sidewalks) that is lined with buildings | examples=they walked the streets of the small town
2. definition=the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel | examples=be careful crossing the street
3. definition=the streets of a city viewed as a depressed environment in which there is poverty and crime and prostitution and dereliction | examples=she tried to keep her children off the street
4. definition=a situation offering opportunities | examples=he worked both sides of the street
5. definition=people living or working on the same street | examples=the whole street protested the absence of street lights

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "When the light went their way, they went on across the <t>street</t>."

This sentence describes people crossing a street when they get a traffic light signal (the light goes their way). They then go "across the street."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a thoroughfare (usually including sidewalks) that is lined with buildings" - This is a broader definition of a street including sidewalks and buildings.

2. "the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel" - This is the specific part where vehicles travel.

3. "the streets of a city viewed as a depressed environment" - This is about crime, poverty, etc. Not relevant here.

4. "a situation offering opportunities" - This is a metaphorical use. Not relevant here.

5. "people living or working on the same street" - This refers to people. Not relevant here.

In the context "they went on across the street," the word refers to the physical path they cross. When you cross a street and a light goes your way (a traffic light), you're crossing the part where vehicles travel - the roadway itself. However, sense 2 specifically mentions "the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel," which is exactly what you cross.

But sense 1 could also work as it includes the whole idea of a street as a thoroughfare.

Actually, when people say "cross the street," they typically mean the roadway/the part between sidewalks where cars drive. This aligns more with sense 2.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: And when the <t>stranger</t> found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them.

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 sentence to determine which sense of "stranger" is being used.

The sentence is: "And when the <t>stranger</t> found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

The context tells us:
- There is a person referred to as "the stranger"
- This person found out that Phil was going to a bar
- The stranger offered to buy drinks for both of them
- The stranger seems to know Phil (addressing him by name and knowing where he was going)

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" - This would mean the person is in a place where they don't belong (like a stranger in a bar they don't belong in).

2. "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - This would mean someone you don't know.

In the context, the "stranger" is someone who:
- Found out Phil was going somewhere (doesn't necessarily mean they know Phil well)
- Offered to buy drinks (being friendly or forward)

The person is called "the stranger," which suggests they are someone not previously introduced and not acquainted with. The definition that best fits is #2 - "an individual that one is not acquainted with" because the person is referred to as a "stranger" without any prior introduction or familiarity.

Sense 1 is more about being in a place where you don't belong, while sense 2 is about not knowing someone. The sentence seems to use it as someone Phil doesn't know or isn't acquainted with.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: And when the stranger <t>found out</t> that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them.

Senses:
1. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | examples=find the product of two numbers
2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children
3. definition=find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort | examples=I want to see whether she speaks French
4. definition=trap; especially in an error or in a reprehensible act | examples=He was caught out

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

The sentence is: "And when the stranger <t>found out</t> that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

In this sentence, "found out" means the stranger discovered or learned that Phil was going to one of his favorite bars. This happened when the stranger learned this information.

Let me check each sense:

1. "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - This is about finding something through mathematical or systematic investigation (like finding a product). Not applicable here.

2. "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - This means to discover something, usually by accident. The stranger learned/discovered that Phil was going to the bar. This could fit, but it doesn't necessarily emphasize the accidental nature or the effort involved.

3. "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort" - This means to discover something through investigation or inquiry. The stranger discovered that Phil was going to the bar - possibly through asking or investigating. This emphasizes the effort and determination to learn something with certainty.

4. "trap; especially in an error or in a reprehensible act" - This is about catching someone doing something wrong. This doesn't apply to the context.

The key distinction between 2 and 3 is that sense 2 is "usually accidentally" while sense 3 is "usually by making an inquiry or other effort."

In the sentence, the stranger "found out" that Phil was going to the bar. The phrasing suggests the stranger learned this information, possibly through inquiry or asking someone. The most natural interpretation would be sense 3 - the stranger determined/learned with certainty (possibly through inquiry) where Phil was going.

Actually, looking at sense 2 again - "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - this could also work, but the "usually accidentally" part doesn't seem to be emphasized in the sentence.
Sense 3 better captures the idea of learning something with certainty, which aligns with how the stranger acquired knowledge about Phil's destination. The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his <t>favorite</t> bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them.

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 to determine which sense of "favorite" is being used.

Sentence: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

The sentence is saying that Phil has a bar that is his favorite - meaning it's the bar he prefers above all others. This indicates that the bar holds special preference for Phil.

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "appealing to the general public" - with examples "a favorite tourist attraction" - This refers to something that is popular or appealing to many people in general.

2. "preferred above all others and treated with partiality" - with examples "the favored child" - This refers to something that is specifically preferred by an individual or group, treated with special favor.

In the sentence, "one of his favorite bars" indicates that this is Phil's personally preferred bar - the one he likes better than others. This is about personal preference, not about general public appeal.

Therefore, the correct answer is sense 2.

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

"And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

The context is:
- Phil is going to one of his favorite "bars"
- Someone is offering to buy drinks for both of them

This clearly indicates that "bars" refers to establishments where alcoholic drinks are served. The mention of "buy drinks" makes this very clear.

Looking at the senses:
1. "a room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served over a counter" - This matches perfectly!
2. "a counter where you can obtain food or drink" - This is more general (food or drink)
3-15. Other meanings that don't fit the context

The correct answer is sense 1, as it specifically refers to a room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served, which is exactly what the sentence is describing.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses of "insist":

Sentence: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he <t>insisted</t> on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "be emphatic or resolute and refuse to budge" - This sense means to firmly and stubbornly demand or maintain something. The example is "I must insist!" which shows someone being firm in their demand.

2. "beg persistently and urgently" - This would mean asking repeatedly and urgently. The example "I importune you to help them" shows persistent pleading.

3. "assert to be true" - This means to state or claim something as fact. The example "The letter asserts a free society" shows making a claim.

In the sentence, the stranger "insisted on offering to buy drinks" - this means the stranger firmly demanded or was resolute about buying drinks. The stranger wouldn't budge on this point; they were emphatic about wanting to buy the drinks.

This matches sense 1: "be emphatic or resolute and refuse to budge" - the stranger was being emphatic and resolute about offering to buy drinks.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on <t>offering</t> to buy drinks for both of them."

The stranger is "offering to buy drinks" - this means he's proposing or agreeing to do something (buy drinks). Let me look at the definitions:

1. "make available or accessible, provide or furnish" - The conference center offers a health spa. This is about providing a service/facility.

2. "present for acceptance or rejection" - She offered us all a cold drink. This is about presenting something to someone for them to accept or reject.

3. "agree freely" - She volunteered to drive the old lady home. This is about freely agreeing to do something.

4. "put forward for consideration" - He offered his opinion. This is about presenting an opinion.

5. "offer verbally" - extend my greetings. This is about verbal offering.

6. "make available for sale" - The stores are offering specials on sweaters this week.

7. "propose a payment" - The Swiss dealer offered $2 million for the painting.

8. "produce or introduce on the stage" - The Shakespeare Company is offering `King Lear' this month.

9. "present as an act of worship" - offer prayers to the gods.

10. "mount or put up" - put up a good fight.

11. "make available; provide" - extend a loan.

12. "ask (someone) to marry you" - he popped the question on Sunday night.

13. "threaten to do something" - I offered to leave the committee if they did not accept my proposal.

In the sentence, the stranger is "offering to buy drinks" - he's proposing/agreeing to buy drinks. Looking at sense 3, it says "agree freely" and the example is "She volunteered to drive the old lady home." This seems like the best match - offering to do something voluntarily.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "present for acceptance or rejection" with example "She offered us all a cold drink" - this is presenting something for someone to accept. That's also similar.
The most fitting sense is 3 - it captures the voluntary nature of freely agreeing to purchase drinks for both of them.

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

Sentence: And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to <t>buy</t> drinks for both of them.

Senses:
1. definition=obtain by purchase; acquire by means of a financial transaction | examples=The family purchased a new car
2. definition=make illegal payments to in exchange for favors or influence | examples=This judge can be bought
3. definition=be worth or be capable of buying | examples=This sum will buy you a ride on the train
4. definition=acquire by trade or sacrifice or exchange | examples=She wanted to buy his love with her dedication to him and his work
5. definition=accept as true | examples=I can't buy this story

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

In this context, "buy" means to obtain drinks by paying for them. The stranger is offering to pay money in exchange for drinks.

Looking at the senses:

1. "obtain by purchase; acquire by means of a financial transaction" - This is the standard definition of buying something for money. This fits the context perfectly - the stranger is purchasing drinks.

2. "make illegal payments to in exchange for favors or influence" - This doesn't fit. There's nothing illegal or about favors/influence here.

3. "be worth or be capable of buying" - This doesn't fit. This is about what money can purchase, not the act of purchasing.

4. "acquire by trade or sacrifice or exchange" - This could fit in a broader sense of exchange, but it's not the primary meaning here. The focus is on paying money.

5. "accept as true" - This doesn't fit at all. This is an idiom meaning to believe something.

The correct answer is sense 1 - the stranger is obtaining drinks by means of a financial transaction (paying for them).

Sentence: And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy <t>drinks</t> for both of them.

Senses:
1. definition=a single serving of a beverage | examples=I asked for a hot drink
2. definition=the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess | examples=drink was his downfall
3. definition=any liquid suitable for drinking | examples=may I take your beverage order?
4. definition=any large deep body of water | examples=he jumped into the drink and had to be rescued
5. definition=the act of swallowing | examples=one swallow of the liquid was enough

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

The context here is:
- Phil is going to one of his favorite bars
- The stranger is offering to buy "drinks" for both of them
- This is clearly in the context of a social situation at a bar

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a single serving of a beverage" - This fits. In a bar context, a "drink" is a single serving of a beverage (likely alcoholic).

2. "the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess" - This doesn't fit. The sentence is talking about "drinks" as individual servings, not the act of drinking to excess.

3. "any liquid suitable for drinking" - This is too broad and generic. While drinks are liquids suitable for drinking, in the context of being at a bar and buying "drinks," it's more specific than just any liquid.

4. "any large deep body of water" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no reference to water bodies.

5. "the act of swallowing" - This doesn't fit. There's no reference to the act of swallowing.

The correct answer is sense 1: "a single serving of a beverage." In the bar context, "buying drinks" means buying individual servings of beverages (likely alcoholic drinks).

30. definition=stop operating or functioning | examples=The engine finally went

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

The word "went" here refers to the action of Phil leaving or traveling somewhere alone. He went to (presumably) some place where he would sit alone in a corner.

Let me look at the most relevant senses:

1. "change location; move, travel, or proceed" - This seems like the right one. Phil went (traveled/moved) alone to some location.

3. "move away from a place into another direction" - This could work, suggesting he went away from others.

8. "follow a certain course" - This could mean his behavior followed a pattern of going alone.

The most straightforward interpretation is sense 1: "change location; move, travel, or proceed" - Phil went (moved/traveled) alone, sitting in a corner. The example given is "How fast does your new car go?" which is about movement/travel, similar to "went alone" in our sentence.

Actually, thinking more about it - "went alone" most naturally means he traveled/moved to some place alone. This aligns with sense 1: "change location; move, travel, or proceed."

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

Sentence: Phil usually went alone and <t>kept to himself</t>, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges.

Senses:
1. definition=shun the company of others | examples=The new student keeps to herself
2. definition=withhold information | examples=I kept your little secret to myself all these years

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil usually went alone and <t>kept to himself</t>, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

The sentence describes Phil's behavior - he went alone, kept to himself, sat in a corner. This describes someone who isolates themselves from others, avoids social interaction.

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "shun the company of others" - This means to avoid being with other people, to isolate oneself. The example "The new student keeps to herself" shows someone avoiding social interaction.

2. "withhold information" - This means to keep a secret or not share information. The example "I kept your little secret to myself all these years" shows keeping something confidential.

In the given sentence, Phil is described as someone who:
- went alone
- kept to himself
- sat in a corner
- passed the time

This clearly describes someone who is isolating themselves from others, avoiding social company. It's not about withholding information - it's about his behavior of avoiding social interaction.

Therefore, the correct sense is **1**.

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

Sentence: Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, <t>sitting</t> in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges.

Senses:

3. definition=take a seat
4. definition=be in session | examples=When does the court of law sit?
5. definition=assume a posture as for artistic purposes | examples=We don't know the woman who posed for Leonardo so often
6. definition=sit and travel on the back of animal, usually while controlling its motions | examples=She never sat a horse!
7. definition=be located or situated somewhere | examples=The White House sits on Pennsylvania Avenue
8. definition=work or act as a baby-sitter | examples=I cannot baby-sit tonight; I have too much homework to do
9. definition=show to a seat; assign a seat for | examples=The host seated me next to Mrs. Smith
10. definition=serve in a specific professional capacity | examples=the priest sat for confession

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

The word "sitting" here is describing Phil's action/state in a corner. Let me go through the senses:

1. "be seated" - This means he is in a seated position
2. "be around, often idly or without specific purpose" - This means being in a place, often without purpose. The example "The object sat in the corner" is similar to our sentence about sitting in a corner while idly passing the time.
3. "take a seat" - This is an action of moving to sit, not the state of sitting
4. "be in session" - Not applicable
5. "assume a posture as for artistic purposes" - Not applicable
6. "sit and travel on the back of animal" - Not applicable
7. "be located or situated somewhere" - This is about physical location
8. "work or act as a baby-sitter" - Not applicable
9. "show to a seat" - Not applicable
10. "serve in a specific professional capacity" - Not applicable

Between 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 is just "be seated"
- Sense 2 is "be around, often idly or without specific purpose" with example "The object sat in the corner"

In the sentence, Phil is sitting in a corner passing time by nursing grudges - this is clearly being there idly/without specific purpose, not just being in a seated position. This matches sense 2 better, which emphasizes the lack of specific purpose and the location/presence rather than just the posture.

The answer is 2.

11. definition=(architecture) solid exterior angle of a building; especially one formed by a cornerstone

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

The sentence is describing Phil sitting in a corner - this is a physical location. He's sitting in a corner of what would typically be a room (since he's indoors given the context of "sitting").

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "a place off to the side of an area" - This could fit, as a corner is off to the side
2. "the point where two lines meet or intersect" - This is more abstract/geometric
3. "an interior angle formed by two meeting walls" - This fits perfectly! When you sit in a corner of a room, you're sitting in the interior angle formed by two meeting walls
4. "the intersection of two streets" - This is about streets, doesn't fit the context
5. "the point where three areas or surfaces meet or intersect" - More abstract
6. "a small concavity" - Doesn't fit
7. "a temporary monopoly on a kind of commercial trade" - Doesn't fit
8. "a predicament from which a skillful or graceful escape is impossible" - Doesn't fit
9. "a projecting part where two sides or edges meet" - Could fit but is more about projecting parts
10. "a remote area" - Doesn't fit this context
11. "(architecture) solid exterior angle of a building" - This is exterior, not interior

The best answer is sense 3: "an interior angle formed by two meeting walls" - this is the most natural interpretation when someone sits in a corner of a room.

The sentence is: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and <t>passing</t> the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

Let me analyze what "passing" means in this context. Phil is "passing the time" - this is an idiomatic expression that means spending time in a particular way or occupying oneself during a period of time.

Looking at the senses:

This is exactly what the sentence means. "Passing the time" is synonymous with "spending time" or occupying oneself during a time period.

The answer is 10.

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: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

The phrase "passing the time" means to spend or occupy one's time while waiting or doing something to avoid boredom. In this context, Phil is sitting in a corner and doing something (nursing his grudges) to occupy or fill his time.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "an instance or single occasion for some event" - Not this. "Passing the time" isn't about a single occasion.

2. "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - This could work. "Passing the time" does suggest treating time as a resource that needs to be filled/used.

3. "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - This could also work. Phil is sitting in a corner for some indefinite period.

4. "a suitable moment" - No, not about a suitable moment.

5. "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past" - No, too abstract.

6. "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - No, not about experience on an occasion.

7. "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - No, not about clock reading.

8. "the fourth coordinate..." - No, too technical.

9. "rhythm as given by division into parts..." - No, not about rhythm.

10. "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - No, this is a specific legal term.

The phrase "passing the time" most directly fits sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something." When you "pass the time," you're treating time as something you control and need to use/fill up.
Sense 3 about an indefinite period could apply as well, but sense 2 better captures the essence of the idiom.

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

Sentence: Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by <t>nursing</t> his favorite grudges.

Senses:
1. definition=try to cure by special care of treatment, of an illness or injury | examples=He nursed his cold with Chinese herbs
2. definition=maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings) | examples=bear a grudge
3. definition=serve as a nurse; care for sick or handicapped people
4. definition=treat carefully | examples=He nursed his injured back by lying in bed several hours every afternoon
5. definition=give suck to | examples=The wetnurse suckled the infant

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

Let me analyze each sense:

1. "try to cure by special care of treatment, of an illness or injury" - This is about nursing someone back to health from an illness/injury. Not applicable here.

2. "maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings)" with example "bear a grudge" - This is about keeping/maintaining feelings or thoughts. In the sentence, "nursing his favorite grudges" means he's maintaining/keeping his grudges alive. This fits perfectly.

3. "serve as a nurse; care for sick or handicapped people" - This is about professional nursing care. Not applicable here.

4. "treat carefully" - This is about handling something with care, like nursing an injured back. While "nursing grudges" could involve some careful attention, the emphasis here is more on maintaining/keeping the grudges rather than treating them carefully.

5. "give suck to" - This is about breastfeeding. Not applicable here.

The phrase "nursing his favorite grudges" clearly means he's maintaining/keeping his grudges alive, which corresponds to sense 2: "maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings)" with the example "bear a grudge".

The answer is 2.

Let me analyze the usage of "favorite" in the sentence: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

In this context, "favorite grudges" means the grudges that Phil prefers to dwell on or that are his preferred ones. The author is indicating that these are the grudges Phil prefers or favors above others.

Let me check both definitions:

1. "appealing to the general public" - A favorite tourist attraction is something that appeals broadly to the public. This doesn't fit here because "favorite grudges" is not about appealing to the general public; it's about Phil's personal preference.

2. "preferred above all others and treated with partiality" - This fits well. Phil's "favorite grudges" are the ones he prefers above others and dwells on with partiality. He selectively chooses to think about certain grudges that he favors.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: But he <t>decided</t> he wouldn't mind company in return for free drinks, even though he made good money at his job.

Senses:
1. definition=reach, make, or come to a decision about something | examples=We finally decided after lengthy deliberations

3. definition=cause to decide | examples=This new development finally decided me!
4. definition=influence or determine | examples=The vote in New Hampshire often decides the outcome of the Presidential election

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But he decided he wouldn't mind company in return for free drinks, even though he made good money at his job."

In this context, "decided" means that he reached a decision or came to a conclusion about whether he would mind having company in return for free drinks. He made a decision about this matter.

Let me check each sense:

1. "reach, make, or come to a decision about something" - This fits. He came to a decision about whether he would mind company.

2. "bring to an end; settle conclusively" - This doesn't fit. He's not ending or settling a dispute here.

3. "cause to decide" - This doesn't fit. There's no one causing him to decide; he is the one doing the deciding.

4. "influence or determine" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about something determining an outcome.

The correct sense is 1.
