raw_output:
2

The word "say" is used here to mean "maintain" or "claim" - as in "according to what you maintain/claim to feel about her." This matches sense 2: "report or maintain."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you <t>say</t>, why not just divorce her?"

In this context, "say" is being used to mean "claim" or "maintain that" - the person is asserting/claiming/maintaining that they hate her.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "express in words" - This could fit, but it's too general
2. "report or maintain" - This seems like a good fit. The person is maintaining/claiming that they hate her
3. "express a supposition" - No, this is not about a supposition
4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - No
5. "give instructions" - No
6. "speak, pronounce in a certain way" - No
7. "communicate nonverbally" - No
8. "utter aloud" - While they are uttering it, this is too general
9. "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - This could fit too. They're declaring/stating their opinion that they hate her
10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - No
11. "indicate" - No

Looking at sense 2: "report or maintain" with example "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" - this is about claiming/maintaining something. "as you say" means "as you claim/maintain"

Looking at sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" with example "I say let's forget this whole business" - this is also about stating an opinion.

The key phrase is "as you say" which means "as you claim/maintain/assert". Both 2 and 9 could work, but sense 2 "report or maintain" seems most appropriate because it's literally about maintaining a claim/position, which is what "say" means here.

Actually, let me reconsider. "As you say" typically means "according to what you say/claim". This is about stating/asserting/claiming/maintaining something.
Sense 2 captures this better than sense 9 since "maintain" directly refers to asserting or upholding a claim as true, which is precisely what's happening when someone says they hate someone else. Sense 9 is broader and more about expressing beliefs generally, whereas sense 2 is specifically about maintaining a position or assertion.

Let me reconsider the sentence: "If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you <t>say</t>, why not just divorce her?"

The key phrase is "as you say" - this means "as you claim/maintain/report."

Looking at the senses again:
1. express in words - "He said that he wanted to marry her"
2. report or maintain - "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"
3. express a supposition - "Let us say that he did not tell the truth"
4. have or contain a certain wording or form
5. give instructions to or direct somebody
6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way
7. communicate or express nonverbally
8. utter aloud
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare
10. recite or repeat a fixed text
11. indicate

In "as you say," the person is claiming/maintaining that they hate her. This is similar to "report or maintain" (sense 2), but let me think about the difference between sense 1 and sense 2.

Sense 1 is more general - "express in words"
Sense 2 is more specific - "report or maintain" (i.e., claim something is true)

In "as you say you hate her" - this is indeed claiming/maintaining that you hate her. But is it the best fit?

Actually, thinking about it more carefully: "as you say" could mean "as you claim/allege/maintain" (sense 2), or it could simply mean "as you express" or "as you state" (sense 1).

Given that my first answer of 2 was rejected, let me think if it should be 1 instead. Sense 1 is "express in words" which is very broad and foundational. "As you say you hate her" = "as you express (in words) that you hate her" = sense 1.
The most fitting answer is 1 - the phrase simply refers to expressing the sentiment in words, without the additional implication of claiming truth that sense 2 carries.

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

Sentence: If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you say, why not just <t>divorce</t> her "?

Senses:
1. definition=part; cease or break association with | examples=She disassociated herself from the organization when she found out the identity of the president
2. definition=get a divorce; formally terminate a marriage | examples=The couple divorced after only 6 months

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two sense options for "divorce":

Sentence: "If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you say, why not just <t>divorce</t> her?"

Sense 1: "part; cease or break association with" - This is about ending an association or relationship in a general sense. The example given is "She disassociated herself from the organization when she found out the identity of the president"

Sense 2: "get a divorce; formally terminate a marriage" - This is specifically about the legal/formal termination of a marriage. The example is "The couple divorced after only 6 months"

In the sentence in question, the speaker is asking someone why they don't divorce their wife (or spouse). The context talks about running around with other men, hating her, etc. - these are clearly marital/relationship issues. The word "divorce" here is being used in the specific legal sense of formally ending a marriage, not just breaking an association.

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

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

Sentence: "That <t>bitch</t> would love a divorce ", he growled.

Senses:
1. definition=an unpleasant difficulty | examples=this problem is a real bitch
2. definition=a person (usually but not necessarily a woman) who is thoroughly disliked | examples=she said her son thought Hillary was a bitch
3. definition=informal terms for objecting | examples=I have a gripe about the service here
4. definition=female of any member of the dog family

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "That <t>bitch</t> would love a divorce", he growled.

The context suggests:
- Someone is speaking angrily ("growled")
- They're referring to another person in a derogatory way
- The statement is about someone who would love a divorce, implying the speaker is angry at this person

Looking at the senses:

1. "an unpleasant difficulty" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't calling a problem a bitch.

2. "a person (usually but not necessarily a woman) who is thoroughly disliked" - This fits well. The speaker is angry and calling the other person a "bitch" as an insult, referring to them as a thoroughly disliked person.

3. "informal terms for objecting" - This doesn't fit. The speaker isn't objecting or complaining about something; they're insulting a person.

4. "female of any member of the dog family" - This doesn't fit. The context is clearly about a person, not an animal.

The correct answer is sense 2.

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

Sentence: "That bitch would <t>love</t> a divorce ", he growled.

Senses:
1. definition=have a great affection or liking for | examples=I love French food
2. definition=get pleasure from | examples=I love cooking
3. definition=be enamored or in love with | examples=She loves her husband deeply
4. definition=have sexual intercourse with | examples=This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "That bitch would <t>love</t> a divorce", he growled.

The context suggests this is a bitter, sarcastic statement. The speaker is suggesting that the person (referred to as "bitch") would greatly enjoy or be pleased about getting a divorce. This is clearly sarcasm - he's likely expressing that he thinks the other person wants a divorce.

Let me check each sense:

1. "have a great affection or liking for" - This could fit, as "love" here means having a strong liking for getting a divorce
2. "get pleasure from" - This could also fit, as it implies getting pleasure from the idea of divorce
3. "be enamored or in love with" - This doesn't fit; the sentence isn't about romantic love with the divorce itself
4. "have sexual intercourse with" - This doesn't fit at all in this context

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 focuses on affection or liking
- Sense 2 focuses on getting pleasure from something

The sentence "would love a divorce" most naturally means "would greatly like/be pleased by a divorce" or "would get pleasure from a divorce." Both 1 and 2 could work, but sense 2 "get pleasure from" seems like the more colloquial and natural reading of "would love a divorce" - it emphasizes the pleasure or enjoyment aspect rather than affection.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 "have a great affection or liking for" and sense 2 "get pleasure from" are very similar in this context. But "love" in the phrase "would love a divorce" most naturally translates to "would get pleasure from" or "would really like" - which aligns more with sense 2.

I think sense 2 is the best answer here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Then she'd get half of everything I have."

In this context, "get" means to come into the possession of something. The subject "she" would receive or obtain half of everything the speaker has. This is about acquiring or obtaining something concrete (half of possessions).

Looking at the senses:
1. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" with examples like "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle" - This matches perfectly. The sentence is about obtaining half of possessions.

The sentence is about acquiring/obtaining possession of something (half of the speaker's possessions).

This clearly matches sense 1: "definition=come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | examples=She got a lot of paintings from her uncle"

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "Then she'd get <t>half</t> of everything I have.

Senses:
1. definition=one of two equal parts of a divisible whole | examples=half a loaf
2. definition=one of two divisions into which some games or performances are divided: the two divisions are separated by an interval

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Then she'd get <t>half</t> of everything I have."

Let me analyze what "half" means here.

In this sentence, "half" refers to one of two equal parts of something divisible - specifically, one of two equal parts of "everything I have." This is about dividing possessions into two equal portions.

Sense 1: "one of two equal parts of a divisible whole" with examples like "half a loaf"
Sense 2: "one of two divisions into which some games or performances are divided: the two divisions are separated by an interval"

The sentence is clearly using "half" to mean one of two equal parts of something that can be divided (the person's possessions), which matches sense 1. It's not referring to a division of a game or performance separated by an interval.

The answer is 1.

Sentence: "Then she'd get half of everything I <t>have</t>.

13. definition=cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner | examples=The ads induced me to buy a VCR

18. definition=cause to be born | examples=My wife had twins yesterday!
19. definition=have sex with; archaic use | examples=He had taken this woman when she was most vulnerable

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Then she'd get half of everything I <t>have</t>."

This is talking about possession or things someone owns. The speaker is saying "everything I have" - meaning everything the speaker possesses or owns.

Looking at the senses:

1. "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" - This seems to match. The example "She has $1,000 in the bank" is similar in meaning.

2. "have as a feature" - No, this doesn't fit.

3. "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" - No.

4. "have ownership or possession of" - This also could fit, example "He owns three houses in Florida"

5-19: Most of these don't fit the context.

Between sense 1 and sense 4:
- Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" with example "She has $1,000 in the bank"
- Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of" with example "He owns three houses in Florida"

Both are about possession/ownership. The sentence "everything I have" is straightforward possession. Sense 1 seems to be the most basic and general meaning of "have" in the context of possession. Sense 4 is specifically about ownership and possession.

The distinction seems to be that sense 1 is more general (both concrete and abstract possession), while sense 4 is specifically about ownership/possession.

In "everything I have" - this is talking about what the person possesses or owns. Sense 1 seems most appropriate as it covers both concrete and abstract possession, and matches the example of "She has $1,000 in the bank" which is similar in structure.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Community property <t>deal</t> -- you know.

Senses:
1. definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | examples=it was a package deal
2. definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | examples=he made a bargain with the devil
3. definition=(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent | examples=a batch of letters
4. definition=a plank of softwood (fir or pine board)
5. definition=wood that is easy to saw (from conifers such as pine or fir)
6. definition=the cards held in a card game by a given player at any given time | examples=I didn't hold a good hand all evening
7. definition=the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement) | examples=he got a good deal on his car
8. definition=the act of distributing playing cards | examples=the deal was passed around the table clockwise
9. definition=the act of apportioning or distributing something | examples=the captain was entrusted with the deal of provisions

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Community property deal -- you know."

I need to determine what "deal" means in this context. It appears to be referring to an agreement or arrangement related to community property (a legal concept in family law).

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a particular instance of buying or selling" - This is about transactions
2. "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each" - This is about agreements
3. "a large number or amount or extent" - This is about quantity
4. "a plank of softwood" - This is about lumber
5. "wood that is easy to saw" - This is about wood material
6. "the cards held in a card game" - This is about card games
7. "the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement)" - This is about treatment/arrangement
8. "the act of distributing playing cards" - This is about card distribution
9. "the act of apportioning or distributing something" - This is about distribution

In the sentence "Community property deal -- you know," the word "deal" refers to an agreement or arrangement regarding community property in a divorce or legal context. This best matches sense 2: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each"

The example "he made a bargain with the devil" shows the sense of an agreement/arrangement, which is what "community property deal" refers to - an agreement about how community property will be divided.

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

Sentence: I'd have to sell out my <t>business</t> to pay her off with her share.

Senses:
1. definition=a commercial or industrial enterprise and the people who constitute it | examples=he bought his brother's business
2. definition=the activity of providing goods and services involving financial and commercial and industrial aspects | examples=computers are now widely used in business
3. definition=the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money | examples=he's not in my line of business
4. definition=a rightful concern or responsibility | examples=it's none of your business
5. definition=an immediate objective | examples=gossip was the main business of the evening
6. definition=the volume of commercial activity | examples=business is good today
7. definition=business concerns collectively | examples=Government and business could not agree
8. definition=customers collectively | examples=they have an upper class clientele
9. definition=incidental activity performed by an actor for dramatic effect | examples=his business with the cane was hilarious

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I'd have to sell out my <t>business</t> to pay her off with her share."

The context suggests that the speaker would need to sell their business (as in an enterprise) to pay off someone's financial share. This indicates the "business" refers to a commercial or industrial enterprise.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a commercial or industrial enterprise and the people who constitute it" - This fits perfectly. "Sell out my business" means to sell the enterprise itself.

2. "the activity of providing goods and services involving financial and commercial and industrial aspects" - This could potentially work but it's more about the activity rather than the entity that can be sold.

3. "the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money" - Not quite right; this is more about what someone does, not the enterprise itself.

4. "a rightful concern or responsibility" - Doesn't fit.

5. "an immediate objective" - Doesn't fit.

6. "the volume of commercial activity" - Doesn't fit.

7. "business concerns collectively" - Doesn't fit.

8. "customers collectively" - Doesn't fit.

9. "incidental activity performed by an actor for dramatic effect" - Doesn't fit.

The answer is clearly 1. The sentence is talking about selling a commercial enterprise/business as an entity, which matches definition 1 perfectly.

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

Sentence: I'd have to sell out my business to pay her off with her <t>share</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash
2. definition=any of the equal portions into which the capital stock of a corporation is divided and ownership of which is evidenced by a stock certificate | examples=he bought 100 shares of IBM at the market price
3. definition=the allotment of some amount by dividing something | examples=death gets more than its share of attention from theologians
4. definition=the part played by a person in bringing about a result | examples=I am proud of my contribution in advancing the project
5. definition=a sharp steel wedge that cuts loose the top layer of soil

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I'd have to sell out my business to pay her off with her <t>share</t>."

The word "share" here refers to the portion or amount of something that belongs to a person. In this context, the speaker is saying they would have to sell their business to pay off "her share" - meaning the portion that belongs to her.

Let me check each sense:

1. "assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group" - This fits well. The "share" here is the portion/amount of something that belongs to her. The example given is "he wanted his share in cash" which is very similar to the sentence.

2. "any of the equal portions into which the capital stock of a corporation is divided" - This is specifically about stock certificates and corporate shares. While the sentence mentions "business," it's not specifically referring to stock shares. This doesn't fit as well.

3. "the allotment of some amount by dividing something" - This could work, but it's more about the act of dividing rather than the portion itself.

4. "the part played by a person in bringing about a result" - This is about contribution to a result, not applicable here.

5. "a sharp steel wedge that cuts loose the top layer of soil" - This is a farming tool, clearly not applicable.

The best fit is sense 1, which refers to the portion or amount that belongs to someone, and the example "he wanted his share in cash" is very similar to the usage in the sentence.

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

Sentence: Pete <t>nodded</t> understandingly.

Senses:
1. definition=express or signify by nodding | examples=He nodded his approval
2. definition=lower and raise the head, as to indicate assent or agreement or confirmation | examples=The teacher nodded when the student gave the right answer
3. definition=let the head fall forward through drowsiness | examples=The old man was nodding in his chair
4. definition=sway gently back and forth, as in a nodding motion | examples=the flowers were nodding in the breeze
5. definition=be almost asleep | examples=The old man sat nodding by the fireplace

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "Pete nodded understandingly."

The adverb "understandingly" indicates that Pete is indicating understanding through the action of nodding. This suggests he's using the nod to express or signify something (his understanding/agreement).

Let me look at each sense:

1. "express or signify by nodding" - examples: He nodded his approval. This fits the meaning where Pete is using the nod to express/signify his understanding.

2. "lower and raise the head, as to indicate assent or agreement or confirmation" - examples: The teacher nodded when the student gave the right answer. This also involves indicating agreement through nodding.

3. "let the head fall forward through drowsiness" - This doesn't fit because Pete is nodding "understandingly," not out of drowsiness.

4. "sway gently back and forth, as in a nodding motion" - This is about passive swaying motion, not deliberate signaling of understanding.

5. "be almost asleep" - This doesn't fit because of the word "understandingly."

Both 1 and 2 could work, but sense 1 "express or signify by nodding" seems most directly aligned with "nodded understandingly" - the adverb emphasizes that he's expressing/signifying understanding through the nod, which is exactly what sense 1 describes.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 2 is about "indicate assent or agreement or confirmation" which is also very close. But sense 1 is broader - it's about expressing or signifying through nodding, and understanding is a form of signifying.

I think sense 1 is the best match because the focus is on expressing/signifying understanding through the nod action.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "Now I see."

This is a common expression that means "I understand" or "I comprehend." It's an expression of understanding or realization.

Let me look at the senses:

1. perceive by sight - No, this isn't about perceiving by sight
2. perceive (an idea or situation) mentally - Yes! The example is "Now I see!" which is exactly our sentence. This is about understanding something mentally.
3. perceive or be contemporaneous with - No
4. imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind - Could be, but the example doesn't match
5. deem to be - No
6. get to know or become aware of - Could be, but less specific
7. see or watch - No
8. come together - No
9. find out, learn, or determine - Could be related to understanding
10. be careful or certain - No
11-24. These are all about physical actions or other meanings

The best fit is clearly sense 2, which has the exact example "Now I see!" and is defined as "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" - which is exactly what the expression "Now I see" means in everyday language.

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

Sentence: You must <t>understand</t>, I haven't been in this state too long.

Senses:
1. definition=know and comprehend the nature or meaning of | examples=She did not understand her husband
2. definition=perceive (an idea or situation) mentally | examples=Now I see!
3. definition=make sense of a language | examples=She understands French
4. definition=believe to be the case | examples=I understand you have no previous experience?
5. definition=be understanding of | examples=You don't need to explain--I understand!

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "You must understand, I haven't been in this state too long."

In this context, "understand" is being used in a somewhat informal way. The speaker is saying something like "You must be aware" or "You must realize" or "You must know" - they're asking the listener to comprehend or grasp what they're about to explain.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "know and comprehend the nature or meaning of" - This seems to fit. The speaker is saying "you must know/comprehend..."

2. "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" - This is similar to #1

3. "make sense of a language" - This doesn't fit. The speaker isn't asking someone to understand a language.

4. "believe to be the case" - "I understand you have no previous experience?" - This is asking someone to believe something is true.

5. "be understanding of" - "You don't need to explain--I understand!" - This means to empathize or be sympathetic.

Looking at the usage "You must understand, I haven't been in this state too long," the speaker is asking the listener to comprehend or know what they're saying. This is closest to sense 1, which is "know and comprehend the nature or meaning of."

The example "She did not understand her husband" shows someone not knowing/comprehending another person. In our sentence, the speaker is asking the listener to comprehend/know the situation.

I think the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: You must understand, I haven't been in this <t>state</t> too long.

Senses:
1. definition=the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation | examples=his state is in the deep south
2. definition=the way something is with respect to its main attributes | examples=the current state of knowledge
3. definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state | examples=the state has lowered its income tax
4. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
5. definition=(chemistry) the three traditional states of matter are solids (fixed shape and volume) and liquids (fixed volume and shaped by the container) and gases (filling the container) | examples=the solid state of water is called ice
6. definition=a state of depression or agitation | examples=he was in such a state you just couldn't reason with him
7. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
8. definition=the federal department in the United States that sets and maintains foreign policies | examples=the Department of State was created in 1789

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "You must understand, I haven't been in this <t>state</t> too long."

The person is saying they haven't been in "this state" for very long. This doesn't refer to:
1. A geographic territory or administrative district (sense 1)
2. A politically organized body of government (sense 3 or 4)
3. Matter in chemistry (sense 5)
4. The US State Department (sense 8)

The phrase "in this state" suggests a condition or way of being. Looking at the options:
- Sense 2: "the way something is with respect to its main attributes" - This fits because they're talking about the condition or way they are
- Sense 6: "a state of depression or agitation" - This could fit if they mean an emotional or mental state

Actually, sense 6 is more specific to emotional/mental conditions. Sense 2 is broader - "the way something is with respect to its main attributes."

In the context "I haven't been in this state too long," the speaker is describing their current condition or situation - how they are. This is closest to sense 2, "the way something is with respect to its main attributes" - the current condition or state of being.

However, sense 6 could also work if they're talking about being in a state of distress. But sense 2 is the more general meaning that would apply to any state/condition someone is in.

I think sense 2 is the best answer because it's the general meaning of "state" as a condition or way of being.

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

Sentence: I <t>came</t> out here to retire.

21. definition=have a certain priority | examples=My family comes first

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "I came out here to retire."

The sentence is saying that the speaker traveled to this place (out here) in order to retire. The word "came" here means to move toward or travel toward a location.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody" - This seems like a good match. The example is "He came singing down the road" which shows movement/travel toward a place.

2. "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - This is similar, more about arriving.

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

4. "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position" - This is about entering a state/condition.

5-21. Various other meanings...

In "I came out here to retire," the person is moving/traveling to this location. This is about the physical movement toward and arrival at a place.

Sense 1 emphasizes "move toward, travel toward"
Sense 2 emphasizes "reach a destination; arrive"

Both seem applicable, but sense 1 has the example "He came singing down the road" which is very similar - it's about traveling/moving toward a location. Sense 2 is more specifically about the arrival/reaching the destination.

I think sense 2 "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" is more accurate here because the person has come OUT HERE (implying they've arrived at a location). If it were sense 1, it would be more about the act of traveling/approaching.

Actually, looking again at the definitions:
- Sense 1: move toward, travel toward
- Sense 2: reach a destination; arrive

"I came out here" - the "out here" indicates a destination that has been reached. So sense 2 seems most appropriate.

8. definition=lose interest | examples=he retired from life when his wife died
9. definition=cause to be out on a fielding play
10. definition=cause to get out | examples=The pitcher retired three batters
11. definition=prepare for sleep | examples=I usually turn in at midnight

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "I came out here to retire."

The sentence suggests someone is going to a place to retire, likely meaning they are going to withdraw from active participation or to go into retirement from work.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "go into retirement; stop performing one's work or withdraw from one's position" - This fits well with the context of coming out somewhere to retire.

2. "withdraw from active participation" - This could also fit, but is more general.

3. "pull back or move away or backward" - This doesn't fit the context well.

4. "withdraw from circulation or from the market" - This is about financial instruments, doesn't fit.

5. "break from a meeting or gathering" - This doesn't fit.

6. "make (someone) retire" - This is transitive, doesn't fit the context.

7. "dispose of (something no longer useful or needed)" - Doesn't fit.

8. "lose interest" - This could fit but seems less likely than sense 1.

9. "cause to be out on a fielding play" (baseball) - Doesn't fit.

10. "cause to get out" - Doesn't fit.

11. "prepare for sleep" - Doesn't fit.

The most natural reading is sense 1: "go into retirement; stop performing one's work or withdraw from one's position." The speaker is saying they came to this place to retire (from work/life).

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: That's why I -- why I <t>do</t> a free job now and then.

Senses:
1. definition=engage in | examples=make love, not war
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
6. definition=carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions | examples=practice law
7. definition=be sufficient; be adequate, either in quality or quantity | examples=A few words would answer
8. definition=create or design, often in a certain way | examples=Do my room in blue
9. definition=behave in a certain manner; show a certain behavior; conduct or comport oneself | examples=You should act like an adult

11. definition=carry on or function | examples=We could do with a little more help around here
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: "That's why I -- why I do a free job now and then."

The context is about doing a free job occasionally. Let me look at each sense:

1. "engage in" - make love, not war - this doesn't fit
2. "carry out or perform an action" - John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters - this could fit, as doing a job means performing it
3. "get (something) done" - I did my job - this is very similar to the context, getting a job done
4. "proceed or get along" - How is she doing in her new job? - this is different, it's about how someone is managing
5. "give rise to; cause" - cause a commotion - doesn't fit
6. "carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions" - practice law - this is about practicing a profession regularly
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 key phrase is "do a free job." This is clearly about performing or carrying out an action/task.

Between sense 2 and 3:
- Sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" with examples like "John did the painting, the weeding"
- Sense 3: "get (something) done" with example "I did my job"

Both could apply, but sense 3 "get (something) done" seems most aligned with "do a job" - when you "do a job," you're getting it done.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2 is "carry out or perform an action" and the examples include "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters" which are all jobs/tasks. This seems to match "do a free job."
Sense 3 emphasizes completion while sense 2 focuses on the performance itself. In this context, "I do a free job now and then" is about performing the work occasionally, so sense 2 fits better than emphasizing the finished result.

9. definition=not literal | examples=a loose interpretation of what she had been told

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "That's why I -- why I do a free job now and then."

The phrase "a free job" refers to a job that someone does without being paid for it. The person is willing to work without compensation.

Looking at the senses:
1. Able to act at will - not quite, this is about freedom of action
2. Unconstrained or not chemically bound - not applicable
3. Costing nothing - this seems to fit! A "free job" would mean a job that costs nothing, i.e., unpaid work
4. Not occupied or in use - doesn't fit
5. Not fixed in position - doesn't fit
6. Not held in servitude - doesn't fit
7. Not taken up by scheduled activities - doesn't fit
8. Completely wanting or lacking - doesn't fit
9. Not literal - doesn't fit

The answer should be 3, which means "costing nothing" - a free job is a job done without payment.

13. definition=a crime (especially a robbery) | examples=the gang pulled off a bank job in St. Louis

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "That's why I -- why I do a free job now and then."

The person is saying they do a free job "now and then" - meaning occasionally. They're talking about work they do occasionally for free.

Looking at the senses:
1. Principal activity to earn money - doesn't fit because they said it's free
2. A specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or for a specific fee - this could fit, as it's a specific piece of work
3. A workplace - doesn't fit
4. An object worked on - doesn't fit
5. The responsibility to do something - doesn't fit
6. The performance of a piece of work - this could fit
7. A damaging piece of work - doesn't fit
8. A state of difficulty - doesn't fit
9-13. These are all specialized uses that don't fit

The key is that they're doing "a job" - a specific piece of work. This is sense 2: "a specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or for a specific fee" - though in this case without fee since it's free, but it still refers to a specific piece of work.

Sense 6 is also about the performance of a piece of work, but sense 2 seems more directly about the job as a specific task/piece of work.

I think sense 2 is the best fit here.

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

Sentence: You should have <t>told</t> me about her before ".

7. definition=give evidence | examples=he was telling on all his former colleague
8. definition=mark as different | examples=We distinguish several kinds of maple

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "You should have told me about her before."

This is saying that the person should have informed me/let me know about her before. The speaker is asking why the other person didn't inform them or let them know about someone named "her" before.

Let me check each sense:

1. "express in words" - This is too general and doesn't fit well. It's about expressing anything in words.

2. "let something be known" - This fits! The person should have made it known to me about her. This is about informing or letting someone know about something.

3. "narrate or give a detailed account of" - This would be more like "tell me the story of her" or "tell me what happened with her". This is about narrating events.

4. "give instructions to or direct somebody" - This would be "I told him to go home" type of usage. Not applicable here.

5. "discern or comprehend" - This would be "I could tell she was unhappy". Not applicable here.

6. "inform positively and with certainty and confidence" - This is similar to sense 2 but with emphasis on certainty/confidence.

7. "give evidence" - Not applicable here.

8. "mark as different" - Not applicable here.

The most appropriate sense is #2: "let something be known" - The person should have let me know about her before. This is essentially informing someone about something.

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

Sentence: Haney <t>felt</t> a twinge of annoyance when he heard the now familiar line again.

Senses:
1. definition=undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind | examples=She felt resentful

12. definition=produce a certain impression | examples=It feels nice to be home again
13. definition=pass one's hands over the sexual organs of | examples=He felt the girl in the movie theater

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney felt a twinge of annoyance when he heard the now familiar line again."

The sentence is about Haney experiencing an emotional sensation - a twinge of annoyance. He felt annoyance, which is an emotion.

Let me review the senses:

1. "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" | examples: She felt resentful
   - This fits! He's undergoing the emotional sensation of annoyance.

2. "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" | examples: I feel that he doesn't like me
   - This is more about believing something, not just experiencing an emotion.

3. "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles" | examples: He felt the wind
   - This is about physical sensation, not emotion.

4. "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" | examples: My cold is gone--I feel fine today
   - This is about being conscious of a state. "A twinge of annoyance" is an emotional state.

Both 1 and 4 seem possible. Let me think more carefully:

Sense 1 is specifically about "undergo an emotional sensation" with the example "She felt resentful" - which matches perfectly with feeling annoyance.

Sense 4 is about "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" with the example "I feel fine today" - this is more about the overall state.

The key difference: Sense 1 is about undergoing/experiencing the emotion, while sense 4 is about being conscious of a state. In the sentence, Haney is experiencing/undergoing the emotional sensation of annoyance (a twinge of it), not just being conscious of his state.

So the answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Haney felt a <t>twinge</t> of annoyance when he heard the now familiar line again.

Senses:
1. definition=a sudden sharp feeling | examples=pangs of regret
2. definition=a sharp stab of pain

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney felt a <t>twinge</t> of annoyance when he heard the now familiar line again."

The word "twinge" is used to describe a feeling of annoyance. Let me look at the two definitions:

1. "a sudden sharp feeling" | examples=pangs of regret
2. "a sharp stab of pain"

In the sentence, "twinge of annoyance" refers to a sudden sharp emotional feeling (annoyance), not a physical pain. This matches definition 1 - "a sudden sharp feeling" - which is a broader sense that can encompass emotional feelings like annoyance, regret, etc.

Definition 2 is specifically about physical pain, which is not what's being described here.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Haney felt a twinge of <t>annoyance</t> when he heard the now familiar line again.

Senses:
1. definition=the psychological state of being irritated or annoyed
2. definition=anger produced by some annoying irritation
3. definition=an unpleasant person who is annoying or exasperating
4. definition=something or someone that causes trouble; a source of unhappiness | examples=washing dishes was a nuisance before we got a dish washer
5. definition=the act of troubling or annoying someone

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney felt a twinge of annoyance when he heard the now familiar line again."

In this context, "annoyance" refers to an emotional state or feeling - specifically the psychological state of being irritated or annoyed. Haney experiences a twinge (a brief feeling) of this emotional state when hearing something repeated.

Let me check each definition:
1. "the psychological state of being irritated or annoyed" - This fits perfectly. A twinge of annoyance is describing a brief instance of this emotional state.
2. "anger produced by some annoying irritation" - This is more about anger specifically, and while annoyance can involve anger, the primary meaning here is the emotional state of annoyance itself.
3. "an unpleasant person who is annoying or exasperating" - This is wrong because annoyance here is not a person.
4. "something or someone that causes trouble; a source of unhappiness" - This would be more like "an annoyance" being the thing causing the problem, not the feeling itself.
5. "the act of troubling or annoying someone" - This is the action of annoying, not the state of being annoyed.

The correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Haney felt a twinge of annoyance when he <t>heard</t> the now familiar line again.

Senses:
1. definition=perceive (sound) via the auditory sense
2. definition=get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children
3. definition=examine or hear (evidence or a case) by judicial process | examples=The jury had heard all the evidence
4. definition=receive a communication from someone | examples=We heard nothing from our son for five years
5. definition=listen and pay attention | examples=Listen to your father

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney felt a twinge of annoyance when he <t>heard</t> the now familiar line again."

The context shows that Haney heard something auditory - "the now familiar line again." A "line" typically refers to something spoken/said, and "heard" here means he perceived the sound of this line through his auditory sense.

Let me check each sense:

1. "perceive (sound) via the auditory sense" - This fits perfectly. He heard the line, meaning he perceived the sound of it through hearing.

2. "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - While there might be some awareness involved, the primary meaning here is the act of perceiving the sound, not learning something.

3. "examine or hear (evidence or a case) by judicial process" - This is about legal proceedings. Not applicable here.

4. "receive a communication from someone" - While communication could be involved, this is more about the act of perceiving the sound itself.

5. "listen and pay attention" - The example says "Listen to your father." This would be more about actively paying attention. The sentence just says he "heard" the line, not that he listened to it.

The correct answer is sense 1 - the basic definition of hearing as perceiving sound via the auditory sense.

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

Sentence: Haney felt a twinge of annoyance when he heard the now <t>familiar</t> line again.

Senses:
1. definition=well known or easily recognized | examples=a familiar figure
2. definition=within normal everyday experience; common and ordinary; not strange | examples=familiar ordinary objects found in every home
3. definition=(usually followed by `with') well informed about or knowing thoroughly | examples=conversant with business trends
4. definition=having mutual interests or affections; of established friendship | examples=on familiar terms

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Haney felt a twinge of annoyance when he heard the now <t>familiar</t> line again."

The context suggests that Haney has heard this line multiple times before, and it's now something he recognizes because he's heard it repeatedly. The word "again" supports this interpretation.

Let me check each sense:

1. "well known or easily recognized" - This fits. The line is something Haney recognizes because he's heard it before. It's easily recognized to him.

2. "within normal everyday experience; common and ordinary; not strange" - This could fit to some degree, but it's more about it being common in general experience rather than specifically well-known.

3. "(usually followed by `with') well informed about or knowing thoroughly" - This doesn't fit the usage here. The sentence doesn't use "familiar with."

4. "having mutual interests or affections; of established friendship" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no friendship context here.

The best fit is sense 1 - "well known or easily recognized." The line is something Haney recognizes from having heard it before, which makes it well-known and easily recognized to him.

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

Sentence: Then a <t>wild</t> thought ran circles through his clouded brain.

Senses:
1. definition=marked by extreme lack of restraint or control | examples=wild talk
2. definition=in a natural state; not tamed or domesticated or cultivated | examples=wild geese
3. definition=in a state of extreme emotion | examples=wild with anger
4. definition=deviating widely from an intended course | examples=a wild bullet
5. definition=(of colors or sounds) intensely vivid or loud | examples=a violent clash of colors
6. definition=without a basis in reason or fact | examples=baseless gossip
7. definition=talking or behaving irrationally | examples=a raving lunatic
8. definition=involving risk or danger | examples=skydiving is a hazardous sport
9. definition=fanciful and unrealistic; foolish | examples=a fantastic idea of his own importance
10. definition=located in a dismal or remote area; desolate | examples=a desert island
11. definition=intensely enthusiastic about or preoccupied with | examples=crazy about cars and racing
12. definition=without civilizing influences; ; ; ; -Margaret Meade | examples=barbarian invaders
13. definition=(of the elements) as if showing violent anger | examples=angry clouds on the horizon

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Then a wild thought ran circles through his clouded brain."

The word "wild" here is describing a "thought." We need to determine what characteristic of the thought is being described.

A "wild thought" in this context is a thought that is:
- Fanciful or unrealistic
- Foolish or irrational
- Without a proper basis

Let me go through the senses:

1. "marked by extreme lack of restraint or control" - could apply to a thought running circles through the brain, but not quite the best fit
2. "in a natural state; not tamed or domesticated" - doesn't apply to thoughts
3. "in a state of extreme emotion" - doesn't quite fit
4. "deviating widely from an intended course" - could apply to the thought
5. "(of colors or sounds) intensely vivid or loud" - doesn't apply
6. "without a basis in reason or fact" - this could fit - a wild thought might be baseless
7. "talking or behaving irrationally" - could apply but requires behavior/talking
8. "involving risk or danger" - doesn't fit
9. "fanciful and unrealistic; foolish" - this seems to fit well. A wild thought would be an unrealistic, fanciful, or foolish idea
10. "located in a dismal or remote area" - doesn't apply
11. "intensely enthusiastic about or preoccupied with" - doesn't fit
12. "without civilizing influences; barbarous" - doesn't fit
13. "(of the elements) as if showing violent anger" - doesn't apply

The best fit appears to be sense 9: "fanciful and unrealistic; foolish" with the example "a fantastic idea of his own importance". A "wild thought" that runs circles through someone's brain suggests an unrealistic, fanciful, or foolish idea.
Sense 6 also captures something about the thought being baseless, but sense 9 more directly captures the essential quality—the thought is simply unrealistic and foolish rather than grounded in reason.

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

Sentence: Then a wild <t>thought</t> ran circles through his clouded brain.

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: "Then a wild <t>thought</t> ran circles through his clouded brain."

The word "thought" here refers to a specific idea or notion that is occurring in his brain. It's something that came to him - "a wild thought" - suggesting a single idea or piece of cognition.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - This fits. A "wild thought" is something he is thinking about, a specific piece of content in his mind.

2. "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about the process of thinking, but about a specific thought/idea.

3. "the organized beliefs of a period or group or individual" - This doesn't fit. It's not about organized beliefs.

4. "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty" - This could partially fit, but it's more about an opinion or belief. "A wild thought" is more likely just an idea that came to him rather than a personal belief or judgment.

The best fit is sense 1 - it's describing the content of cognition, the specific thing he is thinking about (a wild idea/thought that comes to his mind).

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

Sentence: Then a wild thought ran circles through his <t>clouded</t> brain.

Senses:
1. definition=made troubled or apprehensive or distressed in appearance | examples=his face was clouded with unhappiness
2. definition=filled or abounding with clouds
3. definition=mentally disordered | examples=a mind clouded by sorrow
4. definition=unclear in form or expression; ; - H.G.Wells | examples=the blurred aims of the group

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Then a wild thought ran circles through his <t>clouded</t> brain."

The word "clouded" is being used to describe the brain. We need to determine which sense applies.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "made troubled or apprehensive or distressed in appearance" - example: "his face was clouded with unhappiness" - This is about appearance being troubled/distressed.

2. "filled or abounding with clouds" - This is about actual clouds, which doesn't fit with "brain."

3. "mentally disordered" - example: "a mind clouded by sorrow" - This describes a mind that is mentally disordered, confused, or impaired.

4. "unclear in form or expression" - This is about something being unclear or blurred.

In the sentence, "clouded brain" is being used to describe a brain that is confused, disordered, or impaired in its mental functioning. This matches sense 3: "mentally disordered" with the example "a mind clouded by sorrow."

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: Then a wild thought ran circles through his clouded <t>brain</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord
2. definition=mental ability | examples=he's got plenty of brains but no common sense
3. definition=that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason | examples=his mind wandered
4. definition=someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality | examples=Mozart was a child genius
5. definition=the brain of certain animals used as meat

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Then a wild thought ran circles through his clouded brain."

The context shows someone has a thought that is going through their "brain" in a cloudy/confused manner. Let me examine each sense:

1. The anatomical part of the central nervous system - This is the literal, physical definition. While the brain is the physical organ, in this context it's being used more metaphorically to refer to the seat of thought.

2. Mental ability - "he's got plenty of brains but no common sense" - This is about intellectual capability, not quite what's being used here.

3. That which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason - This fits well! The sentence talks about a thought running through his brain, suggesting the brain as the location where thoughts occur and feelings are processed.

4. Someone with exceptional intellectual ability - This is a noun referring to a person, not applicable here.

5. Brain used as meat - Not applicable here.

The sentence uses "brain" to mean the place where thoughts and feelings occur - essentially the seat of consciousness and thought. This matches sense 3: "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason."

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: <t>Suppose</t> -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!!

Senses:
1. definition=express a supposition | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth
2. definition=expect, believe, or suppose | examples=I imagine she earned a lot of money with her new novel
3. definition=to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds | examples=Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps
4. definition=take for granted or as a given; suppose beforehand | examples=I presuppose that you have done your work
5. definition=require as a necessary antecedent or precondition | examples=This step presupposes two prior ones

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!!"

The word "suppose" is being used here in a context where the speaker is asking someone to imagine or consider a hypothetical scenario. The phrase "just suppose" emphasizes this - it's asking to imagine or express a supposition.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "express a supposition" - examples: "Let us say that he did not tell the truth" - This fits. It's about expressing a hypothetical or supposition.

2. "expect, believe, or suppose" - examples: "I imagine she earned a lot of money with her new novel" - This could fit, but it's more about believing something based on evidence or likelihood.

3. "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" - examples: "Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps" - This is about believing something tentatively, but the context seems different from the sentence.

4. "take for granted or as a given; suppose beforehand" - example: "I presuppose that you have done your work" - This is about presupposing, which is different.

5. "require as a necessary antecedent or precondition" - This is clearly about presupposing requirements, not fitting.

The sentence is asking to imagine or express a hypothetical situation - "just suppose this guy was really what he said he was." This is clearly sense 1: "express a supposition" where the speaker is asking to consider a hypothetical scenario and express that supposition.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Suppose -- just <t>suppose</t> this guy was really what he said he was T!!

Senses:
1. definition=express a supposition | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth
2. definition=expect, believe, or suppose | examples=I imagine she earned a lot of money with her new novel
3. definition=to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds | examples=Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps
4. definition=take for granted or as a given; suppose beforehand | examples=I presuppose that you have done your work
5. definition=require as a necessary antecedent or precondition | examples=This step presupposes two prior ones

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Suppose -- just <t>suppose</t> this guy was really what he said he was T!!"

The word "suppose" here is being used in the context of a hypothetical situation. The speaker is saying "imagine this scenario" or "let's say this scenario is true" - they're asking the listener to consider a hypothetical case.

Let me check each sense:

1. "express a supposition" with example "Let us say that he did not tell the truth" - This matches! The speaker is expressing a hypothetical supposition, asking to imagine a scenario.

2. "expect, believe, or suppose" - This could work, but it's more about what you expect or believe rather than expressing a hypothetical.

3. "to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds" - This is more about believing something, not about expressing a hypothetical supposition.

4. "take for granted or as a given; suppose beforehand" - This is about presupposing something as a precondition.

5. "require as a necessary antecedent or precondition" - This is also about presupposing.

The correct sense is #1 because the speaker is using "suppose" to express a hypothetical supposition - they're essentially saying "let's say" or "imagine that" this scenario is true. This matches the definition "express a supposition" and the example "Let us say that he did not tell the truth."

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

Sentence: Suppose -- just suppose this <t>guy</t> was really what he said he was T!!

Senses:
1. definition=an informal term for a youth or man | examples=a nice guy
2. definition=an effigy of Guy Fawkes that is burned on a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day
3. definition=a cable, wire, or rope that is used to brace something (especially a tent)

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Suppose -- just suppose this <t>guy</t> was really what he said he was T!!"

The word "guy" is being used here to refer to a person - specifically someone who claimed to be something (a person who said what he was). The speaker is expressing doubt about whether this person's claim is true.

Let me check each sense:

1. "an informal term for a youth or man" - This fits. The sentence is discussing a person ("this guy") and questioning whether he really is what he claimed to be.

2. "an effigy of Guy Fawkes that is burned on a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day" - This doesn't fit. There's no indication of a bonfire, effigy, or Guy Fawkes Day context.

3. "a cable, wire, or rope that is used to brace something (especially a tent)" - This doesn't fit at all. The sentence is clearly about a person, not a physical object like a cable or rope.

The correct sense is #1 - an informal term for a youth or man.

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

Sentence: Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he <t>said</t> he was T!!

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: "Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!!"

The word "said" here is being used to refer to what the person claimed or maintained to be. The context is "suppose...this guy was really what he said he was" - meaning what he claimed/maintained/alleged to be.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "express in words" - "He said that he wanted to marry her" - This is about expressing something verbally
2. "report or maintain" - "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" - This fits well with "he said he was"
3. "express a supposition" - "Let us say that he did not tell the truth" - This is about hypothetical statements
4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - About text content
5. "give instructions" - About commanding
6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - About manner of speaking
7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - About non-verbal communication
8. "utter aloud" - About saying words out loud
9. "state as one's opinion or judgement" - About declaring opinion
10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - About reciting
11. "indicate" - About showing/pointing out

In the sentence "what he said he was" - this is reporting what he claimed or maintained about himself. This fits sense 2: "report or maintain" with the example "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" - both are about claiming something about oneself.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: A retired <t>professional</t> killer

Senses:
1. definition=engaged in a profession or engaging in as a profession or means of livelihood | examples=the professional man or woman possesses distinctive qualifications
2. definition=of or relating to or suitable as a profession | examples=professional organizations
3. definition=characteristic of or befitting a profession or one engaged in a profession | examples=professional conduct
4. definition=of or relating to a profession | examples=we need professional advice
5. definition=engaged in by members of a profession | examples=professional occupations include medicine and the law and teaching

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "A retired professional killer" and match it to the correct sense.

In this sentence, "professional" is being used as an adjective to describe a type of killer. The word "professional" here means someone who kills as their profession or means of livelihood - in other words, someone who is engaged in killing as a profession.

Let me go through each sense:

1. "engaged in a profession or engaging in as a profession or means of livelihood" - This would fit with a "professional killer" being someone engaged in killing as a profession/means of livelihood. This seems to fit.

2. "of or relating to or suitable as a profession" - This is about whether something is suitable as a profession, not about someone being engaged in it.

3. "characteristic of or befitting a profession or one engaged in a profession" - This is about whether something is characteristic of professionals.

4. "of or relating to a profession" - Similar to sense 2, more about the relationship to profession itself.

5. "engaged in by members of a profession" - This is about activities engaged in by professionals.

The phrase "professional killer" refers to someone who kills as their profession - someone engaged in killing as a means of livelihood. This matches sense 1 most closely: "engaged in a profession or engaging in as a profession or means of livelihood."

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: A retired professional <t>killer</t>

Senses:
1. definition=someone who causes the death of a person or animal
2. definition=the causal agent resulting in death | examples=heart disease is the biggest killer in the United States
3. definition=a difficulty that is hard to deal with | examples=that exam was a real killer
4. definition=predatory black-and-white toothed whale with large dorsal fin; common in cold seas

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "A retired professional killer" and match it with the given senses.

The context is about someone who is "a retired professional killer." This refers to someone whose profession was to kill people - essentially a hit person or assassin who has now retired from that profession.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "someone who causes the death of a person or animal" - This is a general definition that could apply to any entity that causes death, including the person described in the sentence.

2. "the causal agent resulting in death | examples=heart disease is the biggest killer in the United States" - This seems to refer to things that cause death (like diseases, conditions), not necessarily a person who commits murder.

3. "a difficulty that is hard to deal with | examples=that exam was a real killer" - This is a metaphorical/informal sense meaning something difficult.

4. "predatory black-and-white toothed whale with large dorsal fin; common in cold seas" - This is a killer whale, clearly not applicable here.

The sentence "A retired professional killer" is describing a person whose profession involved killing others - so it's referring to someone who causes the death of another person. This matches sense 1 best, as it specifically refers to "someone who causes the death of a person or animal" - and in this context, it's clearly about a person who kills people professionally.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: If he was just a <t>nut</t>, no harm was done.

Senses:
1. definition=usually large hard-shelled seed
2. definition=Egyptian goddess of the sky
3. definition=a small (usually square or hexagonal) metal block with internal screw thread to be fitted onto a bolt
4. definition=half the width of an em
5. definition=a whimsically eccentric person
6. definition=someone who is so ardently devoted to something that it resembles an addiction | examples=a golf addict
7. definition=one of the two male reproductive glands that produce spermatozoa and secrete androgens | examples=she kicked him in the balls and got away

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "If he was just a <t>nut</t>, no harm was done."

The sentence is describing a person as "a nut." In this context, it's referring to a person in a way that suggests they are unusual or eccentric in some way.

Let me look at the senses:
1. usually large hard-shelled seed - This is a literal sense about seeds/nuts as food, not applicable here since we're talking about a person
2. Egyptian goddess of the sky - This is a proper noun/mythological reference, not applicable
3. a small metal block with internal screw thread - This is a literal/technical sense about hardware, not applicable to a person
4. half the width of an em - This is a typographical term, not applicable
5. a whimsically eccentric person - This describes someone who is quirky or odd, which fits with calling someone "a nut"
6. someone who is so ardently devoted to something that it resembles an addiction - This is about being addicted or devoted to something, but this doesn't quite fit the context of "just a nut"
7. one of the two male reproductive glands - This is not applicable to calling someone "a nut" in this context

The best fit is sense 5: "a whimsically eccentric person" - this is the idiomatic usage where "nut" refers to someone who is quirky, eccentric, or unusual in a somewhat harmless way.

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

Sentence: If he was just a nut, no <t>harm</t> was done.

Senses:
1. definition=any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident or fracture etc.
2. definition=the occurrence of a change for the worse
3. definition=the act of damaging something or someone

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "If he was just a nut, no <t>harm</t> was done."

This sentence is about whether any damage or negative effect occurred. Let me look at each sense:

1. "any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident or fracture etc." - This is specifically about physical damage to the body. The sentence doesn't specify physical damage to a body; it's more general.

2. "the occurrence of a change for the worse" - This refers to a negative change or deterioration. In the context "no harm was done," it means no negative change occurred.

3. "the act of damaging something or someone" - This is about the act of damaging. In "no harm was done," it refers to the action of causing damage.

Looking at the context more carefully: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done" - this is saying that if he was just a crazy person/fool, then no negative consequence resulted. It's about the negative effect or consequence (change for the worse).

Between senses 2 and 3:
- Sense 2 focuses on "the occurrence of a change for the worse" - the result/consequence
- Sense 3 focuses on "the act of damaging" - the action itself

In this context, "no harm was done" suggests that no bad result occurred, which aligns more with sense 2 - the occurrence of something negative.

I believe the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: If he was just a nut, no harm was <t>done</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=engage in | examples=make love, not war
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
6. definition=carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions | examples=practice law
7. definition=be sufficient; be adequate, either in quality or quantity | examples=A few words would answer
8. definition=create or design, often in a certain way | examples=Do my room in blue
9. definition=behave in a certain manner; show a certain behavior; conduct or comport oneself | examples=You should act like an adult
10. definition=spend time in prison or in a labor camp | examples=He did six years for embezzlement
11. definition=carry on or function | examples=We could do with a little more help around here
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: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done."

The word "done" is the past participle of "do" used in a passive construction. Let me think about what sense is being used here.

"No harm was done" means "no harm was caused" or "no harm resulted from this."

Looking at the senses:
1. engage in - doesn't fit
2. carry out or perform an action - could potentially fit, but doesn't seem right
3. get (something) done - doesn't fit the context
4. proceed or get along - doesn't fit
5. give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally - This seems to fit! "No harm was done" = "no harm was caused to happen"
6. carry out or practice - doesn't fit
7. be sufficient - 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 meaning is clearly about causing harm. "No harm was done" means "nothing harmful happened as a result" or "no harm was caused."

Sense 5 definition is "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally" which perfectly matches this usage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But if he was the real thing, he could <t>do</t> something about Lolly."

The context here is that someone could "do something about Lolly" - meaning they could take action or perform some action to deal with the situation regarding Lolly.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "engage in" - doesn't quite fit
2. "carry out or perform an action" - this seems to fit well. "Do something about" means to perform an action or carry out something to address a situation
3. "get (something) done" - similar to #2, but the examples given (I did my job) suggest completing a task
4. "proceed or get along" - doesn't fit
5. "give rise to; cause to happen" - could potentially fit, but not the best match
6. "carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions" - not quite
7. "be sufficient" - 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" is a common expression meaning to take action to address or deal with a situation. This aligns best with sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" because it means to perform/execute some action regarding Lolly.

The answer is 2.
