Let me analyze the sentence: "But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear."

The phrase is "lost count" - meaning he lost track of how many drinks he had consumed. He couldn't keep track of the number anymore.

Let me go through the senses:

1. "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have" - This could apply. "Lost count" means he ceased to maintain/keep track of the count. This seems like a good match.

2. "fail to win" - Not applicable here

3. "suffer the loss of a person through death or removal" - Not applicable

4. "place (something) where one cannot find it again" - Not really, he didn't misplace a physical count

5. "miss from one's possessions; lose sight of" - This is about losing sight of something. "Losing count" is about losing track of something, which is similar to losing sight of it. This could work.

6. "allow to go out of sight" - Not really applicable in this context

7. "fail to make money in a business" - Not applicable

8. "fail to get or obtain" - Not applicable

9. "retreat" - Not applicable

10. "fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind" - This could apply. If you've "lost count," you've failed to catch/track with your mind the number.

11. "be set at a disadvantage" - Not really applicable

The most accurate seems to be sense 1 - "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have" - because "losing count" means he failed to maintain his awareness/track of the count. Alternatively, sense 10 could work as it's about failing to perceive with the mind, but sense 1 seems most straightforward.
Sense 5 also captures the idea of losing mental grasp on something abstract, similar to losing sight of it. However, sense 1 remains the strongest fit since it directly addresses the failure to maintain awareness of the count.

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

Sentence: But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost <t>count</t>, and the man's eyes were still clear.

Senses:
1. definition=the total number counted | examples=a blood count
2. definition=the act of counting; reciting numbers in ascending order | examples=the counting continued for several hours
3. definition=a nobleman (in various countries) having rank equal to a British earl

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

The sentence is: "But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost <t>count</t>, and the man's eyes were still clear."

The phrase is "lost count" - this is an idiom meaning to lose awareness of how many of something has occurred. In this context, they're drinking and the speaker has lost track of how many drinks have been consumed.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the total number counted" - This is about the result of counting. "Lost count" would mean he lost track of the total number. This seems to fit - he lost awareness of the number of drinks.

2. "the act of counting; reciting numbers in ascending order" - This would mean the act itself. "Lost the act of counting" doesn't make as much sense in this context. While it's related, it's more about the action rather than the number itself.

3. "a nobleman" - This clearly doesn't fit.

The correct sense is 1, because "lost count" is an idiomatic expression meaning to lose track of a number/total. It refers to the total number that was being kept track of, which matches sense 1: "the total number counted."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the <t>man</t>'s eyes were still clear."

In this context, "the man" is referring to a specific male person - the buddy who had been drinking with the narrator. The context suggests this is someone the narrator knows, and the use of "the man" refers to a particular individual male person.

Let me check each sense:
1. "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)" - This is a basic definition referring to any adult male person. In the sentence, "the man" could be referring to a specific male person.
2. "someone who serves in the armed forces" - No indication of military service.
3. "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - This would be more abstract, like "man's inhumanity to man"
4. "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae" - Too technical/scientific
5. "a male subordinate" - No indication of this relationship
6. "an adult male person who has a manly character" - This would require the emphasis on the character being manly
7. "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - No indication of this
8. "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - No indication
9. "one of the British Isles" - Not relevant
10. "game equipment" - Not relevant
11. "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - Not relevant

The most straightforward interpretation is sense 1 - a simple reference to an adult male person. The sentence is simply referring to the male buddy character and describing his eyes being clear despite drinking.

Sentence: But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's <t>eyes</t> were still clear.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's <t>eyes</t> were still clear."

The sentence is describing the man's eyes being "still clear" - meaning his vision or eyes themselves (the physical organ) were not affected by the drinking. This is referring to the physical organs of sight.

Let me check each sense:
1. the organ of sight - YES, this fits. His eyes (the physical organs) were still clear.
2. good discernment - NO, this doesn't fit the context
3. attention to what is seen - NO, this doesn't fit
4. an area that is approximately central within some larger region - NO, this doesn't fit
5. a small hole or loop - NO, this doesn't fit

The answer is 1, as it's referring to the physical organ of sight.

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

Sentence: The <t>guy</t> is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those eyes.

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: "The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those eyes."

The phrase "off his rocker" is an idiom meaning someone is crazy or not in their right mind. The sentence is referring to a person who is acting irrationally.

Looking at the senses:
1. "an informal term for a youth or man" - This fits the context. The sentence is talking about a person (a man or youth) who is acting crazy.
2. "an effigy of Guy Fawkes that is burned on a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day" - This doesn't fit. The effigy doesn't have eyes and can't be "off his rocker."
3. "a cable, wire, or rope that is used to brace something" - This doesn't fit at all. A rope can't be "off his rocker."

The correct answer is sense 1, as "guy" here refers to an informal term for a man/youth.

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

3. definition=use or exercise the mind or one's power of reason in order to make inferences, decisions, or arrive at a solution or judgments | examples=I've been thinking all day and getting nowhere

12. definition=be capable of conscious thought | examples=Man is the only creature that thinks
13. definition=bring into a given condition by mental preoccupation | examples=She thought herself into a state of panic over the final exam

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The guy is off his rocker, Haney <t>thought</t> to himself, and looked away from those eyes."

Here, "thought to himself" means that Haney formulated or had a thought/idea in his mind. He's thinking this to himself - it's an internal thought or mental formulation.

Let me go through the senses:
1. Judge or regard - No, not judging the person
2. Expect, believe, or suppose - This could work - he's supposing/believing something
3. Use or exercise the mind to make inferences - Not really exercising reasoning
4. Recall from memory - No, not recalling
5. Imagine or visualize - Possibly, but the context is more about formulating a thought
6. Focus attention on a state - No
7. Have in mind as a purpose - No
8. Decide by pondering - Possibly
9. Ponder/reflect - Could work
10. Dispose the mind in a certain way - This could work with "do you really think so"
11. Have or formulate in the mind - This fits! "have...in the mind" and the example is "think good thoughts" which is about having/formulating thoughts
12. Be capable of conscious thought - No
13. Bring into a state by mental preoccupation - No

Looking at sense 11: "have or formulate in the mind" with example "think good thoughts" - this matches perfectly. Haney is having/formulating a thought in his mind ("The guy is off his rocker").

The answer is 11.

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

Sentence: The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those <t>eyes</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the organ of sight
2. definition=good discernment (either visually or as if visually) | examples=she has an eye for fresh talent
3. definition=attention to what is seen | examples=he tried to catch her eye
4. definition=an area that is approximately central within some larger region | examples=it is in the center of town

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those <t>eyes</t>."

The sentence describes someone looking away from another person's eyes. The person described as "off his rocker" (meaning crazy) has eyes that Haney is looking away from. This is referring to the physical organ of sight - the eyes on the person's face.

Let me check each sense:
1. the organ of sight - This matches. The sentence is referring to the physical eyes on a person's face.
2. good discernment (either visually or as if visually) - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about discernment or talent evaluation.
3. attention to what is seen - This doesn't fit. "Looked away from those eyes" isn't about attention in the sense of "catching someone's eye."
4. an area that is approximately central within some larger region - This doesn't fit at all.
5. a small hole or loop (as in a needle) - This doesn't fit at all.

The correct answer is 1 - the physical organ of sight.

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

Sentence: <t>Eyes</t> that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them.

Senses:
1. definition=the organ of sight
2. definition=good discernment (either visually or as if visually) | examples=she has an eye for fresh talent
3. definition=attention to what is seen | examples=he tried to catch her eye
4. definition=an area that is approximately central within some larger region | examples=it is in the center of town
5. definition=a small hole or loop (as in a needle) | examples=the thread wouldn't go through the eye

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

The context is describing eyes that have certain visual qualities - they are "clear," "bright," and have "cold fire burning behind them." This describes the physical appearance and the literal organ of sight.

Looking at the senses:
1. the organ of sight - This fits because the sentence is describing the literal eyes as physical organs
2. good discernment - Not applicable; the sentence doesn't describe having good judgment or perception
3. attention to what is seen - Not applicable; the sentence doesn't describe trying to get someone's attention
4. an area approximately central within some larger region - Not applicable; this is a metaphorical use not present here
5. a small hole or loop - Not applicable; this is about needles, not relevant here

The sentence is clearly using "eyes" in the literal sense - the organ of sight. The description "clear, bright with a strange intensity, cold fire burning behind them" all refer to the physical appearance of the eyes themselves.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Eyes that were clear, but also <t>bright</t> with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them.

Senses:
1. definition=emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts | examples=the sun was bright and hot
2. definition=having striking color | examples=bright dress
3. definition=characterized by quickness and ease in learning | examples=some children are brighter in one subject than another
4. definition=having lots of light either natural or artificial | examples=the room was bright and airy

6. definition=splendid | examples=the bright stars of stage and screen
7. definition=not made dim or less bright | examples=undimmed headlights
8. definition=clear and sharp and ringing | examples=the bright sound of the trumpet section
9. definition=characterized by happiness or gladness | examples=bright faces
10. definition=full or promise | examples=had a bright future in publishing

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

The description is talking about eyes that have an intense, luminous quality - like a "cold fire burning behind them." This suggests the eyes are emitting or reflecting light, or at least appearing to do so with intensity.

Let me check each sense:

1. "emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts" - This could fit, as the eyes are described as having a fire-like intensity, suggesting they emit light or appear luminous.

2. "having striking color" - Not really about color here.

3. "characterized by quickness and ease in learning" - Not about intelligence.

4. "having lots of light either natural or artificial" - This is about a room/space, not applicable to eyes in this context.

5. "made smooth and bright by or as if by rubbing; reflecting a sheen or glow" - This could fit, suggesting a glow or shine.

6. "splendid" - Not the right sense.

7. "not made dim or less bright" - Not really fitting.

8. "clear and sharp and ringing" - About sound, not applicable here.

9. "characterized by happiness or gladness" - The intensity is described as "strange" and "cold," so not happiness.

10. "full of promise" - Not about the eyes being full of promise.

The key phrase is "with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them." This suggests the eyes are luminous, shining, emitting light or appearing to emit light. This best fits sense 1: "emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts."

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

Sentence: Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a <t>strange</t> intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them.

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

The word "strange" is being used to describe an "intensity" in the eyes. The context suggests that this intensity is unusual, unexpected, and odd - it's described as a "cold fire burning behind them," which creates an atmosphere of something unusual and somewhat unsettling.

Let me check each sense:

1. "being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird" - This fits well. The strange intensity is definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected. The phrase "cold fire" emphasizes this sense of something being unusual and eerie.

2. "not known before" - This doesn't fit as well. While the intensity might be unfamiliar, the primary meaning here is that it's odd or unusual in character, not just that it's new or previously unknown.

3. "relating to or originating in or characteristic of another place or part of the world" - This doesn't fit at all. There's nothing about foreign or foreign origins in this context.

The answer is clearly sense 1.

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

Sentence: Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange <t>intensity</t>, a sort of cold fire burning behind them.

Senses:
1. definition=the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation) | examples=he adjusted the intensity of the sound
2. definition=high level or degree; the property of being intense
3. definition=the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction) | examples=the kids played their music at full volume
4. definition=chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue

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

The sentence is: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange <t>intensity</t>, a cold fire burning behind them."

The context describes eyes that are "bright with a strange intensity" - this is describing the eyes as having a quality that makes them emotionally or psychologically striking. The phrase "cold fire burning behind them" suggests a deep, powerful emotional or psychological state.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation)" - This is a technical/scientific definition about energy transmission. While eyes could be described physically, this seems too technical for this literary context.

2. "high level or degree; the property of being intense" - This fits perfectly. The sentence is describing the quality of being intense - the eyes have a quality of being intense, expressing a deep emotional state or strong feeling.

3. "the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction)" - This is about sound, and the example confirms it's about volume/sound. This doesn't apply to eyes.

4. "chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue" - This is about color saturation. While the sentence mentions "bright," this sense is specifically about color purity, and the context "cold fire burning" suggests emotional intensity rather than color intensity.

The correct answer is 2 - the sense of "high level or degree; the property of being intense." The sentence uses intensity to mean a strong, profound emotional quality or presence in the eyes.

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

Sentence: Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of <t>cold</t> fire burning behind them.

Senses:
1. definition=having a low or inadequate temperature or feeling a sensation of coldness or having been made cold by e.g. ice or refrigeration | examples=a cold climate
2. definition=extended meanings; especially of psychological coldness; without human warmth or emotion | examples=a cold unfriendly nod
3. definition=having lost freshness through passage of time | examples=a cold trail
4. definition=(color) giving no sensation of warmth | examples=a cold bluish grey
5. definition=marked by errorless familiarity | examples=had her lines cold before rehearsals started
6. definition=lacking originality or spontaneity; no longer new | examples=moth-eaten theories about race
7. definition=so intense as to be almost uncontrollable | examples=cold fury gripped him
8. definition=sexually unresponsive | examples=was cold to his advances
9. definition=without compunction or human feeling | examples=in cold blood
10. definition=feeling or showing no enthusiasm | examples=a cold audience
11. definition=unconscious from a blow or shock or intoxication | examples=the boxer was out cold
12. definition=of a seeker; far from the object sought
13. definition=lacking the warmth of life | examples=cold in his grave

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

The phrase is "cold fire" - we're talking about fire that is described as "cold." The fire is metaphorically described as having a strange intensity and brightness, but being "cold."

Let me go through the senses:

1. Low temperature - No, this is metaphorical, not literally about low temperature
2. Psychological coldness; without human warmth or emotion - This could fit - the "cold fire" suggests intense but emotionless
3. Having lost freshness - No, not about time passage
4. (color) giving no sensation of warmth - This could be relevant, as colors can be cold
5. Familiar/memorized - No
6. Lacking originality - No
7. So intense as to be almost uncontrollable - This could fit - "cold fury" is used as an example, and we have "strange intensity" here
8. Sexually unresponsive - No
9. Without compunction or human feeling - This could fit - "in cold blood" is an example
10. Showing no enthusiasm - Could fit
11. Unconscious - No
12. Of a seeker; far from object - No
13. Lacking warmth of life - This could fit

Looking at sense 7: "so intense as to be almost uncontrollable" with example "cold fury gripped him" - this seems very relevant here. The "cold fire" is described as having "strange intensity" which matches "so intense as to be almost uncontrollable."

Sense 2 is also relevant - the psychological coldness, emotionless quality, which contrasts with the warmth of fire, creating that intensity.

I think sense 7 is the best fit because it captures the idea of intense but controlled/emotionless passion - "cold fire" suggests intensity without warmth, which is exactly what sense 7 describes.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

The phrase "cold fire" is used metaphorically to describe the intensity in someone's eyes. It's describing feelings of great warmth and intensity - though in this case it's a "cold" fire, suggesting a controlled, intense emotional state rather than warmth exactly, but the concept is about intense feelings.

Let me check each sense:
1. The event of something burning - No, not about an actual destructive fire
2. Firing weapons - No, not about weapons
3. Process of combustion - No, not about actual combustion
4. Fireplace - No, not about a physical fireplace
5. One of four elements - No, not referring to the classical element
6. Feelings of great warmth and intensity - YES, this seems to match. "Fire" here is used metaphorically to describe the intense feeling/emotion in the eyes
7. Fuel for cooking - No, not about cooking
8. Severe trial - No, not about a trial or hardship
9. Intense criticism - No, not about criticism

The answer is 6 - "feelings of great warmth and intensity". The "cold fire" is a metaphorical description of intense feelings or passion in the eyes.

14. definition=use up (energy) | examples=burn off calories through vigorous exercise

reasoning_content:
Looking at the sentence: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire <t>burning</t> behind them."

The context is metaphorical - "cold fire burning behind them" is describing an intense, passionate look in someone's eyes. It's not literally burning.

Let me consider the senses:
1. destroy by fire - No
2. shine intensely, as if with heat - This could fit, "burning" suggesting a bright, intense shine
3. undergo combustion - No, not literal
4. cause a sharp or stinging pain - No
5. cause to burn or combust - No
6. feel strong emotion, especially anger or passion - This fits! "burning with" emotion is a common expression
7. cause to undergo combustion - No
8. burn at the stake - No
9. spend money - No
10. feel hot or painful - No
11. cauterize - No
12. sunburn - No
13. create by duplicating - No
14. use up energy - No
15. burn with heat, fire, or radiation - This could work too

The phrase "cold fire burning behind them" combined with "eyes that were clear but also bright with a strange intensity" suggests both:
- A bright, shining quality (sense 2)
- An intense emotional quality (sense 6)

Given that "cold fire" is mentioned and it's about the intensity in their eyes, and the context suggests passionate or intense feeling, sense 6 "feel strong emotion, especially anger or passion" seems most appropriate. The "burning" here represents an intense inner emotion or passion.

Actually, rereading - sense 2 "shine intensely, as if with heat" might also work. But sense 6 about strong emotion fits better with the metaphorical "cold fire" - suggesting intense passion or emotion.

I think sense 6 is the best fit.

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

Sentence: Why hadn't he <t>noticed</t> it before?

Senses:
1. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
2. definition=notice or perceive | examples=She noted that someone was following her
3. definition=make or write a comment on | examples=he commented the paper of his colleague
4. definition=express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with | examples=He never acknowledges his colleagues when they run into him in the hallway

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "Why hadn't he noticed it before?" and match it to the correct sense.

The sentence is asking why he hadn't noticed (perceived/detected) something before. He failed to perceive or become aware of something that existed.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This is about discovering or determining something exists. The example "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water" shows someone discovering/detecting something. This fits the meaning of "notice" in the sentence - he hadn't detected/discovered its existence before.

2. "notice or perceive" - This is explicitly about perceiving something. The example "She noted that someone was following her" shows perceiving something. This also fits well.

3. "make or write a comment on" - This is about commenting on something. This doesn't fit the sentence at all.

4. "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" - This is about acknowledging. The example shows not acknowledging colleagues. This doesn't quite fit the sentence.

Between 1 and 2, both seem similar. Let me think more carefully:
- Sense 1: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - focuses on discovering/determining
- Sense 2: "notice or perceive" - explicitly says "notice or perceive"

The sentence uses "noticed" which is directly related to perception/awareness. Sense 2 explicitly defines the verb as "notice or perceive" which is a direct match. Sense 1 is more about discovering or determining something exists, which is slightly different nuance.

I think sense 2 is the best match because it directly states "notice or perceive" and the example shows perceiving/noticing something happening.

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

Sentence: No, the <t>man</t> was not drunk

Senses:
1. definition=an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman) | examples=there were two women and six men on the bus
2. definition=someone who serves in the armed forces; a member of a military force | examples=two men stood sentry duty
3. definition=the generic use of the word to refer to any human being | examples=it was every man for himself
4. definition=any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae characterized by superior intelligence, articulate speech, and erect carriage
5. definition=a male subordinate | examples=the chief stationed two men outside the building
6. definition=an adult male person who has a manly character (virile and courageous competent) | examples=the army will make a man of you
7. definition=a manservant who acts as a personal attendant to his employer | examples=Jeeves was Bertie Wooster's man
8. definition=a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend) in the life of a particular woman | examples=she takes good care of her man
9. definition=one of the British Isles in the Irish Sea
10. definition=game equipment consisting of an object used in playing certain board games | examples=he taught me to set up the men on the chess board
11. definition=all of the living human inhabitants of the earth | examples=all the world loves a lover

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "No, the man was not drunk"

In this context, we're referring to a specific person (likely male) who was not drunk. The sentence is discussing a particular individual.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)" - This seems like the most straightforward interpretation. The sentence is referring to a specific adult male person who was not intoxicated.

2. "someone who serves in the armed forces" - This is too specific; nothing in the sentence indicates military service.

3. "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - This would be more like "man is mortal" or discussing humanity in general, not a specific person.

4. "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae..." - This is too academic/technical.

5. "a male subordinate" - Nothing suggests a subordinate-superior relationship.

6. "an adult male person who has a manly character" - While possible, the sentence doesn't emphasize character traits like virility or courage.

7. "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - Nothing suggests this.

8. "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - Nothing suggests this relationship.

9. "one of the British Isles" - Doesn't apply here.

10. "game equipment" - Doesn't apply here.

11. "all of the living human inhabitants" - Doesn't apply; this is about a specific individual.

The answer is 1 - the generic term for "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)".

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

Sentence: No, the man was not <t>drunk</t>

Senses:
1. definition=stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol) | examples=a noisy crowd of intoxicated sailors
2. definition=as if under the influence of alcohol | examples=felt intoxicated by her success

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "No, the man was not <t>drunk</t>"

I need to determine which sense of "drunk" is being used here:

1. First sense: "stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol)" - This refers to actually being intoxicated by alcohol or drugs.

2. Second sense: "as if under the influence of alcohol" - This is a metaphorical use, meaning excited or affected by something else (like the example "felt intoxicated by her success").

In the sentence "No, the man was not <t>drunk</t>", the speaker is saying the man was not intoxicated by alcohol. This is the literal meaning - actually affected by alcohol, which corresponds to sense 1.

If it were sense 2, the sentence might be something like "He was drunk by her beauty" (meaning affected/excited by it), but that's not what's being said here.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: He <t>wondered</t> how he got tied up with this stranger.

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: "He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger."

Now let me look at each sense:

1. "have a wish or desire to know something" - with example "He wondered who had built this beautiful church"
   - This involves wanting to know something about a fact or event

2. "place in doubt or express doubtful speculation" - with example "I wonder whether this was the right thing to do"
   - This involves expressing uncertainty or doubt about something

3. "be amazed at" - with example "We marvelled at the child's linguistic abilities"
   - This is about being amazed or astonished

In the sentence "He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger," the person is trying to understand or figure out how the situation came about. They have a question in their mind about this. This fits best with sense 1 - "have a wish or desire to know something" - because they want to know how/why this happened.

It's similar to the example given for sense 1: "He wondered who had built this beautiful church" - both express a desire to know something.

Sense 2 could work in some contexts, but the primary meaning here is more about wanting to know rather than expressing doubt.

Sense 3 (be amazed at) doesn't fit because the sentence doesn't express amazement.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "He wondered how he <t>got</t> tied up with this stranger."

The phrase "got tied up with" means to become involved in or entangled with something/someone. In this context, "got" means to enter or assume a certain state or condition - the condition being "tied up with this stranger."

Let me check the senses:
1. Come into possession - No, this isn't about possessing something

4. Receive a specified treatment - No
5. Reach a destination - No
6. Go or come after and bring back - No

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

Sentence: He wondered how he got tied up with this <t>stranger</t>.

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: "He wondered how he got tied up with this <t>stranger</t>."

The context suggests that the person (he) is questioning how they became involved or connected with someone they don't know or aren't familiar with.

Now let's look at the two senses:

1. "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" - This definition focuses on someone being out of place in a specific environment.

2. "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - This definition focuses on someone you don't know.

In the sentence, the speaker is expressing confusion about being "tied up with" a stranger. The implication is that this is someone he is not acquainted with or doesn't know. The phrase "tied up with" means to be involved with or connected to.

Sense 2 seems more appropriate here - the person is questioning how they became involved with someone they don't know (not acquainted with).

Sense 1 would be more about someone being out of place in a particular location or environment, which doesn't seem to be the focus of this sentence.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: But, of course, he <t>remembered</t> now.

Senses:
1. definition=recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection | examples=I can't remember saying any such thing
2. definition=keep in mind for attention or consideration | examples=Remember the Alamo
3. definition=recapture the past; indulge in memories | examples=he remembered how he used to pick flowers
4. definition=show appreciation to | examples=He remembered her in his will
5. definition=mention favorably, as in prayer | examples=remember me in your prayers
6. definition=mention as by way of greeting or to indicate friendship | examples=Remember me to your wife
7. definition=exercise, or have the power of, memory | examples=After the shelling, many people lost the ability to remember
8. definition=call to remembrance; keep alive the memory of someone or something, as in a ceremony | examples=We remembered the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But, of course, he remembered now."

This sentence means that the person recalled or brought back to mind something from the past. The phrase "remembered now" suggests that he had been unable to remember something before, but now he is able to recall it.

Let me check each sense:

1. "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection" - This fits. He remembered (recalled) something that he knew before.

2. "keep in mind for attention or consideration" - This doesn't fit well. It's not about keeping something in mind for future attention, but about recalling something that already happened.

3. "recapture the past; indulge in memories" - This could fit, as remembering involves recalling the past, but it's not specifically about indulging in memories.

4. "show appreciation to" - This doesn't fit at all.

5. "mention favorably, as in prayer" - This doesn't fit.

6. "mention as by way of greeting or to indicate friendship" - This doesn't fit.

7. "exercise, or have the power of, memory" - This could fit, but the sentence is more specific than this general definition.

8. "call to remembrance; keep alive the memory of someone or something, as in a ceremony" - This is about keeping alive a memory in a ceremonial sense, which doesn't fit.

The best fit is sense 1: "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection". The sentence shows someone recalling or bringing back to mind something they had previously known or experienced.

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

Sentence: It was blurred, after two <t>hours</t> of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him.

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It was blurred, after two <t>hours</t> of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him."

The sentence is talking about "two hours of steady drinking" - this is referring to a period of time. The person was blurred (drunk/unclear) after spending two hours drinking.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day" - This fits. "Two hours" is a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day (actually 2/24ths). This is the basic unit of time.

2. "clock time" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about what time on the clock it is.

3. "a special and memorable period" - This doesn't fit. The hours of drinking aren't described as particularly special or memorable in a positive sense.

4. "distance measured by the time taken to cover it" - This doesn't fit. There's no reference to distance here.

The answer is sense 1.

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

Sentence: It was blurred, after two hours of <t>steady</t> drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him.

Senses:
1. definition=not subject to change or variation especially in behavior | examples=a steady beat
2. definition=not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall | examples=stocks are still firm
3. definition=securely in position; not shaky | examples=held the ladder steady
4. definition=marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable | examples=firm convictions
5. definition=relating to a person who does something regularly | examples=a regular customer
6. definition=not easily excited or upset | examples=steady nerves

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It was blurred, after two hours of <t>steady</t> drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him."

The key phrase is "steady drinking" - this means continuous, uninterrupted drinking. The person has been drinking for two hours continuously.

Looking at the senses:
1. "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" with example "a steady beat" - This fits. Steady drinking would be continuous, unvarying drinking.
2. "not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall" - This is more about financial stability
3. "securely in position; not shaky" - This is about physical position
4. "marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable" - This is about resolve/conviction
5. "relating to a person who does something regularly" - This is about someone who is a regular customer/does something regularly
6. "not easily excited or upset" - This is about emotional state

In the context of "steady drinking," it means continuous, uninterrupted drinking without variation. This matches sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" - the drinking continues steadily/consistently.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: It was blurred, after two hours of steady <t>drinking</t>, but the occasion of it came back to him.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of consuming liquids
2. definition=the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess | examples=drink was his downfall

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "It was blurred, after two hours of steady <t>drinking</t>, but the occasion of it came back to him."

The context clues are:
- "two hours of steady drinking"
- "It was blurred" - suggesting impaired vision/cognition
- This implies the person is intoxicated

The sentence is describing the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess, as evidenced by:
1. The sustained duration ("two hours of steady drinking")
2. The effect mentioned ("blurred" - implying intoxication)

Sense 1 is just the general act of consuming liquids, which is too broad.
Sense 2 specifically refers to drinking alcoholic beverages to excess, which matches the context of this sentence.

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: The <t>stranger</t>, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection.

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: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

Looking at the two senses:
1. "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" - This suggests someone who is out of place or doesn't fit in a particular setting/environment
2. "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - This is a person someone doesn't know

In the sentence, we have a person crossing the street. The narrative doesn't give us information about whether this person belongs in that street/environment or not. The key context is that we're looking at someone from an external perspective (the narrator knows nothing about this person - we don't even know their name, just that they're a "stranger").

The sentence introduces "The stranger" - someone we (the reader) don't know. The narrative presents this person without introducing them by name or establishing any familiarity. This fits definition 2 - "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - because from the narrator's perspective and the reader's perspective, this is someone we're not acquainted with.

Definition 1 would more specifically describe someone who is out of place in a particular environment (like a stranger in a foreign country, or a stranger in a small town where they don't belong).

The answer is 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The stranger, his <t>head</t> seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

The phrase is "his head seemingly sunk in thought." This describes the stranger's physical posture - their head is positioned in a way that suggests deep thought. The head here refers to the actual physical part of the body - the upper part of the human body that contains the face and brains.

Let me look at the relevant senses:
1. "the upper part of the human body or the front part of the body in animals; contains the face and brains" - examples: "he stuck his head out the window"
3. "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason" - examples: "his mind wandered"

While the sentence mentions the head being "sunk in thought," this is describing the physical position of the head, not the abstract concept of thought or reason. The sentence is describing a physical action/posture - the stranger's head is positioned as if sunk in thought. This is the literal, anatomical sense of head - the upper part of the body.

Sense 1 is the correct answer.

Let me analyze the sentence: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in <t>thought</t>, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

The phrase is "sunk in thought" - this is an idiomatic expression that describes someone who is deeply absorbed in thinking about something.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - example: "it was not a good idea" - This refers to a specific thought/idea, a piece of content being thought about.

2. "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully" - example: "thinking always made him frown" - This refers to the act or process of thinking.

3. "the organized beliefs of a period or group or individual" - example: "19th century thought" - This refers to a collective body of ideas from a period.

4. "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty" - example: "my opinion differs from yours" - This refers to an opinion or belief.

In the sentence, "sunk in thought" means the stranger is absorbed in the process of thinking or contemplation. The person is engaged in the act of thinking - considering something carefully with their mind. This matches sense 2: "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully."

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, <t>started</t> to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, <t>started</t> to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

In this context, "started" means the stranger began the action of crossing the street. The phrase "started to cross" indicates the beginning of the action of crossing.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - This fits. "Started to cross" means to begin the action of crossing.
2. "set in motion, cause to start" - This is more about causing something else to start, not applicable here.
3. "leave" - This could potentially fit, but "started to cross" is more about beginning an action.
4. "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - This is about something beginning/existing.
5. "bring into being" - Not applicable.
6. "get off the ground" - More about a company/project, not applicable.
7. "move or jump suddenly, as if in surprise or alarm" - The example shows "startled" not "started to cross."
8. "get going or set in motion" - This is similar to #1, about beginning an action.
9. "begin or set in motion" - This fits well. "We simply could not start the engine" - similar to starting an action.
10. "begin work or acting in a certain capacity" - Not applicable.
11. "play in the starting lineup" - Not applicable.
12. "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" - Not quite.
13. "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" - This could fit, like "begin a cigar" is to smoke it.
14. "bulge outward" - Not applicable.

The most fitting definitions are 1 and 9.

Definition 1 most directly captures what's happening—the stranger takes the first step in the action of crossing the street. Both definitions essentially convey the same meaning in this context: initiating the movement across the intersection.

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

Sentence: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to <t>cross</t> the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection.

Senses:
1. definition=travel across or pass over | examples=The caravan covered almost 100 miles each day
2. definition=meet at a point
3. definition=hinder or prevent (the efforts, plans, or desires) of | examples=What ultimately frustrated every challenger was Ruth's amazing September surge
4. definition=fold so as to resemble a cross | examples=she crossed her legs

6. definition=meet and pass | examples=the trains crossed
7. definition=trace a line through or across | examples=cross your `t'
8. definition=breed animals or plants using parents of different races and varieties | examples=cross a horse and a donkey

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to <t>cross</t> the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

The verb "cross" here is used to mean moving from one side of the street to the other side. This is about traveling across or passing over something.

Let me check each sense:

1. "travel across or pass over" - Example: "The caravan covered almost 100 miles each day" - This matches! Crossing a street means to travel across it or pass over it.

2. "meet at a point" - This doesn't fit. We're not meeting at a point.

3. "hinder or prevent" - This doesn't fit. The stranger isn't preventing anything.

4. "fold so as to resemble a cross" - This doesn't fit. The stranger isn't folding anything.

5. "to cover or extend over an area or time period" - This is similar to sense 1, but the example is about coverage over area/time. Not the best fit.

6. "meet and pass" - While the stranger and van do meet/pass, that's not what "cross the street" means. It's not about the trains crossing each other.

7. "trace a line through or across" - This doesn't fit.

8. "breed animals or plants" - This doesn't fit.

The correct answer is 1 - "travel across or pass over" - which is the definition that fits "cross the street."

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

Sentence: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the <t>street</t> against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection.

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 to determine which sense of "street" is being used:

"The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

The context here is:
- Someone is crossing the street
- There's a moving van roaring through the intersection
- The person is crossing "against the light" (implying traffic lights)

Let me review each sense:

1. "a thoroughfare (usually including sidewalks) that is lined with buildings" - This is a general definition of a street as a whole passage.

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

3. "the streets of a city viewed as a depressed environment..." - Not applicable here; no indication of poverty, crime, or dereliction.

4. "a situation offering opportunities" - Not applicable; this is idiomatic and not about a physical street.

5. "people living or working on the same street" - Not applicable; not about people.

The key detail in the sentence is that the stranger is crossing the street, and a "moving van roared through the intersection." The mention of vehicles, traffic lights, and the intersection clearly indicates this is about the roadway where vehicles travel.

This matches sense 2: "the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel"

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the <t>light</t> just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection.

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: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the <t>light</t> just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

In this context, "light" refers to a traffic light. When someone crosses the street "against the light," it means they're crossing when the traffic light is red (against them) or not in their favor.

Looking at the definitions:
1. Electromagnetic radiation - not this one
2. A device serving as a source of illumination - this could fit, but it's more general
3. A perspective or aspect - no
4. Quality of being luminous - no
5. An illuminated area - no
6. Spiritual awareness - no
7. Visual effect of illumination in pictures - no
8. A person regarded fondly - no
9. Having abundant light - no
10. Mental understanding - no
11. Merriment - no
12. Public awareness - no
13. Divine presence (Quaker) - no
14. A visual warning signal - this could be it
15. A device for lighting or igniting fuel - not this

Actually, let me reconsider. A traffic light is a "visual warning signal" - it signals traffic to stop or go. Definition 14 says "a visual warning signal | examples=they saw the light of the beacon"

However, definition 2 also could work - "any device serving as a source of illumination" - but that's more generic.

The most specific and accurate answer is 14 - a visual warning signal, because a traffic light is indeed a visual warning signal that tells drivers and pedestrians when to stop or go.

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

Sentence: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van <t>roared</t> through the intersection.

Senses:
1. definition=make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles | examples=The wind was howling in the trees
2. definition=utter words loudly and forcefully | examples=`Get out of here,' he roared
3. definition=emit long loud cries | examples=wail in self-pity
4. definition=act or proceed in a riotous, turbulent, or disorderly way; -R.A.Billington | examples=desperadoes from the hills regularly roared in to take over the town
5. definition=make a loud noise, as of animal | examples=The bull bellowed
6. definition=laugh unrestrainedly and heartily

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

In this context, "roared" is describing the sound made by a huge moving van as it goes through an intersection. A moving van makes a loud noise as it moves, which would be the sound of an engine, machinery, or vehicle in motion.

Let me look at the senses:
1. "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles" - This matches! It's about vehicles making loud noise
2. "utter words loudly and forcefully" - No, the van isn't speaking
3. "emit long loud cries" - No, not about the van crying out
4. "act or proceed in a riotous, turbulent, or disorderly way" - While the van is moving through the intersection, this sense is more about chaotic behavior, not the noise itself
5. "make a loud noise, as of animal" - This is about animals, not vehicles
6. "laugh unrestrainedly and heartily" - No, not laughing

The correct answer is sense 1, which explicitly includes vehicles as an example of things that roar.

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

Sentence: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the <t>intersection</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a point where lines intersect
2. definition=a junction where one street or road crosses another
3. definition=a point or set of points common to two or more geometric configurations
4. definition=the set of elements common to two or more sets | examples=the set of red hats is the intersection of the set of hats and the set of red things
5. definition=a representation of common ground between theories or phenomena | examples=there was no overlap between their proposals
6. definition=the act of intersecting (as joining by causing your path to intersect your target's path)

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the <t>intersection</t>."

In this context, the sentence is describing a scene where a stranger is crossing the street and a moving van is going through an intersection. The intersection here refers to a physical location where the street the stranger is crossing meets another street or road - it's describing a junction where streets cross.

Looking at the senses:
1. "a point where lines intersect" - This is too abstract/geometric
2. "a junction where one street or road crosses another" - This fits perfectly. The intersection is the junction of streets where the moving van is driving through
3. "a point or set of points common to two or more geometric configurations" - This is abstract geometric language
4. "the set of elements common to two or more sets" - This is about set theory
5. "a representation of common ground between theories or phenomena" - This is about theories/phenomena
6. "the act of intersecting" - This describes the action, not the location

Sense 2 is clearly the correct answer. The sentence is using intersection to refer to the physical junction of streets where the moving van is traveling through.

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

Sentence: <t>Brakes</t> howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before.

Senses:
1. definition=a restraint used to slow or stop a vehicle
2. definition=any of various ferns of the genus Pteris having pinnately compound leaves and including several popular houseplants
3. definition=large coarse fern often several feet high; essentially weed ferns; cosmopolitan
4. definition=an area thickly overgrown usually with one kind of plant
5. definition=anything that slows or hinders a process | examples=she wan not ready to put the brakes on her life with a marriage

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

In this context, "brakes" is making a noise ("howled") and is part of a scenario where a vehicle is trying to stop (preventing someone from being hit). This indicates we're talking about the mechanism that slows or stops a vehicle.

Let me check each sense:
1. "a restraint used to slow or stop a vehicle" - This fits perfectly with the context of brakes howling (the sound brakes make) and preventing someone from being hit.
2. "any of various ferns of the genus Pteris" - This doesn't fit; ferns don't howl.
3. "large coarse fern" - This doesn't fit; ferns don't howl.
4. "an area thickly overgrown usually with one kind of plant" - This doesn't fit; overgrown areas don't howl.
5. "anything that slows or hinders a process" - This is more general/metaphorical usage, but the sentence specifically talks about vehicle brakes making noise.

The correct answer is sense 1, which is the most specific and direct meaning in this context.

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

Sentence: Brakes <t>howled</t> and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before.

Senses:
1. definition=emit long loud cries | examples=wail in self-pity
2. definition=cry loudly, as of animals | examples=The coyotes were howling in the desert
3. definition=make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles | examples=The wind was howling in the trees
4. definition=laugh unrestrainedly and heartily

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses:

Sentence: "Brakes <t>howled</t> and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

The word "howled" is used to describe the sound that brakes make.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "emit long loud cries | examples=wail in self-pity" - This is about emotional crying, not the sound of brakes.

2. "cry loudly, as of animals | examples=The coyotes were howling in the desert" - This is specifically about animals crying/making sounds.

3. "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles | examples=The wind was howling in the trees" - This is about loud noises made by objects/natural phenomena. Brakes are part of a vehicle, so when brakes make a loud screeching noise, this would fit. The example mentions wind howling, and here we have brakes (a vehicle component) howling.

4. "laugh unrestrainedly and heartily" - This doesn't apply at all.

The sentence says "Brakes howled" - brakes are part of a vehicle, and they make a loud screeching noise when applied. This matches sense 3: "make a loud noise, as of wind, water, or vehicles" - specifically the "vehicles" part, since brakes are a vehicle component.

The answer is 3.

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

Sentence: Brakes howled and a <t>horn</t> blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before.

Senses:
1. definition=a noisemaker (as at parties or games) that makes a loud noise when you blow through it
2. definition=one of the bony outgrowths on the heads of certain ungulates
3. definition=a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning
4. definition=a high pommel of a Western saddle (usually metal covered with leather)
5. definition=a brass musical instrument with a brilliant tone; has a narrow tube and a flared bell and is played by means of valves
6. definition=any hard protuberance from the head of an organism that is similar to or suggestive of a horn
7. definition=the material (mostly keratin) that covers the horns of ungulates and forms hooves and claws and nails
8. definition=a device having the shape of a horn | examples=horns at the ends of a new moon
9. definition=an alarm device that makes a loud warning sound
10. definition=a brass musical instrument consisting of a conical tube that is coiled into a spiral and played by means of valves
11. definition=a device on an automobile for making a warning noise

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Brakes howled and a <t>horn</t> blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

The context is:
- Brakes howled (sound of braking)
- A horn blared furiously (a loud noise)
- This is warning about something (implied danger)
- This is related to an automobile (brakes are mentioned, suggesting a car)

The horn is making a warning noise in an automobile context. This is used to warn the man about danger.

Let me look at the definitions:
1. A noisemaker at parties - No, this is in a traffic/accident context
2. Bony outgrowths on animal heads - No, this is not about animals
3. A noise made by a car driver to give warning - Yes, this fits
4. Pommel of a saddle - No, not relevant
5. Brass musical instrument (French horn type) - No
6. Hard protuberance similar to horn - No
7. Material (keratin) - No
8. Device shaped like horn (moon reference) - No
9. An alarm device making warning sound - This could fit, but it's similar to 3 and 11
10. Coiled brass instrument - No
11. Device on automobile for warning noise - Yes, this also fits

Both 3 and 11 seem to fit. Let me reconsider:
- Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning" - this describes the sound itself
- Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise" - this describes the physical device

In the sentence, "horn blared" - the horn is the thing doing the action of blaring. This suggests we're talking about the device/instrument itself, not the sound. So sense 11 seems more appropriate.
The phrasing "horn blared" treats the horn as an active agent producing the sound, which aligns better with sense 11's description of a physical device rather than sense 3's focus on the driver's action. The horn itself is the subject performing the action here.

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

Sentence: Brakes howled and a horn <t>blared</t> furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before.

Senses:
1. definition=make a strident sound | examples=She tended to blast when speaking into a microphone
2. definition=make a loud noise | examples=The horns of the taxis blared

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

"Brakes howled and a horn <t>blared</t> furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

In this sentence, "blared" is describing the sound that a horn makes. The horn is making a loud noise.

Let me compare the two senses:
1. "make a strident sound" - A strident sound is a harsh, loud, and grating sound. The example given is "She tended to blast when speaking into a microphone" which is about loud speech.
2. "make a loud noise" - This directly refers to making a loud noise. The example is "The horns of the taxis blared" which is exactly about horns making noise.

In the sentence, "a horn blared furiously" clearly matches sense 2, because:
- It's specifically about a horn making a loud noise
- The example in sense 2 is very similar: "The horns of the taxis blared"
- While a horn could be said to make a "strident" sound, the definition in sense 2 is the more direct and appropriate match

The answer is 2.

10. definition=game equipment consisting of an object used in playing certain board games | examples=he taught me to set up the men on the chess board
11. definition=all of the living human inhabitants of the earth | examples=all the world loves a lover

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the <t>man</t> would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

In this context, we're talking about a specific individual who is male - someone who almost got hit by a vehicle. The word "man" here is being used to refer to a specific adult male person.

Let me check each sense:

1. "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)" - This seems like it could fit. It's referring to a specific adult male person.

2. "someone who serves in the armed forces" - No indication of this in the context.

3. "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being" - This is a generic/universal use, but our sentence is talking about a specific individual, not a generic reference.

4. "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae" - No, too technical/biological.

5. "a male subordinate" - No indication of this.

6. "an adult male person who has a manly character (virile and courageous competent)" - The sentence doesn't emphasize these qualities.

7. "a manservant who acts as a personal attendant" - No indication of this.

8. "a male person who plays a significant role (husband or lover or boyfriend)" - No indication of this.

9. "one of the British Isles in the Irish Sea" - This is about the place Isle of Man, not relevant.

10. "game equipment consisting of an object used in playing certain board games" - No.

11. "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - No.

The correct sense is #1 - it's referring to a specific adult male person, someone who is male as opposed to female/woman. This is the most straightforward use of the word "man" to refer to an adult male person.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been <t>hit</t> if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

In this context, the man would have been hit (struck) by something - presumably a car, given the mention of brakes and a horn. This is describing a vehicle coming into contact with the person.

Let me look at the definitions:
1. cause to move by striking - like hitting a ball

Sentence: Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't <t>called out</t> to him a second before.

Senses:
1. definition=utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy | examples=`I won!' he exclaimed
2. definition=call out loudly, as of names or numbers
3. definition=challenge to a duel | examples=Aaron Burr called out Alexander Hamilton

Let me analyze the sentence: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't <t>called out</t> to him a second before."

In this context, Phil "called out" to warn the man about the danger. Phil is alerting/warning the man loudly to get his attention before he could be hit.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" - This is about expressing emotions aloud. The example "'I won!' he exclaimed" shows emotional expression. This could fit, as calling out a warning could involve some urgency/surprise.

2. "call out loudly, as of names or numbers" - This is about calling something loudly, specifically names or numbers. This could fit - Phil called out (spoke loudly) to get the man's attention to warn him.

3. "challenge to a duel" - This is clearly not the right sense here. There's no duel involved.

Between 1 and 2, sense 2 seems more appropriate because:
- Sense 2 emphasizes the volume and directedness of calling - calling out loudly to someone
- In the sentence, Phil is calling out "to him" - directly addressing the man to warn him
- The emphasis is on the act of calling out loudly to get someone's attention, not on expressing an emotion

Sense 1 is more about emotional expression (surprise, horror, joy), whereas sense 2 is simply about calling someone loudly.

I believe the answer is 2.
