Target lemma: mouth
Target surface form: mouth
Context:
It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. 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. 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. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his <t>mouth</t> when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine the correct sense of "mouth" in the given context. The target surface form is "mouth" and it appears in the sentence: "Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop..." The context is about Phil shouting to warn a stranger, and later regretting having spoken. The phrase "opened his mouth" means he spoke, so it's about vocalization. But looking at the senses:

1. Sense 1: "the opening through which food is taken in and vocalizations emerge" - this is the literal anatomical mouth, and includes vocalizations. However, the phrase "opened his mouth" in this context means he started speaking, which is a common figurative use. But sense 1 is the literal anatomical opening. The example "he stuffed his mouth with candy" is physical.

2. Sense 2: "the externally visible part of the oral cavity" - also literal.

3. Sense 3: "an opening that resembles a mouth (as of a cave or a gorge)" - not applicable.

4. Sense 4: "the point where a stream issues into a larger body of water" - not.

5. Sense 5: "a person conceived as a consumer of food" - "he has four mouths to feed" - not here.

6. Sense 6: "a spokesperson (as a lawyer)" - synonym mouthpiece, but here it's not a spokesperson.

7. Sense 7: "an impudent or insolent rejoinder" - like sass, backtalk. In the context, Phil's shout was involuntary, not impudent. He regretted opening his mouth, meaning he regretted speaking. But it's not necessarily an impudent rejoinder. The phrase "opened his mouth" is a common idiom for speaking, not specifically insolent.

8. Sense 8: "the opening of a jar or bottle" - no.

The best fit is sense 1 because it includes vocalizations. The phrase "opened his mouth" is a metonymy for speaking, but the literal sense of mouth as the organ is used. WordNet sense 1 explicitly says "vocalizations emerge". So sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are given a target word "stop" in the context of a sentence: "when the truck came to a <t>stop</t>". The context describes a truck that was moving, then braked and came to a halt. The phrase "came to a stop" typically means the vehicle ceased moving. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=stop%1:11:00:: | definition=the event of something ending | synonyms=halt | examples=it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill

This seems directly applicable: "it came to a stop" matches the example. The definition is "the event of something ending", which fits the truck stopping.

2. sense_key=stop%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of stopping something | synonyms=stoppage | This is more about the act of stopping, but the phrase "came to a stop" is more about the event or state.

3. sense_key=stop%1:04:02:: | definition=a brief stay in the course of a journey | This is a stopover, not relevant.

4. sense_key=stop%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of inactivity following an interruption | This could apply, but the example "held them in check" is different.

5. sense_key=stop%1:15:00:: | definition=a spot where something halts or pauses | This is a location, not the event.

6-11 are clearly not applicable.

Thus, sense 1 is the best. The example even matches the exact phrasing.

So answer: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "jumped" is used in the context: "the angry driver <t>jumped</t> down from the cab and walked back toward them." The driver gets out of the cab quickly, likely leaping down. This matches sense 8: "jump down from an elevated point" with synonyms "leap, jump off" and example "the parachutist didn't want to jump; every year, hundreds of people jump off the Golden Gate bridge." Also sense 1 "move forward by leaps and bounds" could be possible but "down from the cab" specifies downward motion. Sense 8 is more specific. So answer sense index 8.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "walked" in the context: "the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them." The driver uses his feet to advance, moving back toward them. This is the basic sense of moving on foot. Sense 1 fits: "use one's feet to advance; advance by steps". The example "Walk, don't run!" is similar. Sense 2 is "accompany or escort" (e.g., I'll walk you to your car) but here the driver is walking alone, not accompanying someone. Sense 3 is baseball, not relevant. Sense 4 is "traverse or cover by walking" (e.g., walk the tightrope) but here it's just walking back, not covering a specific path. Sense 5 is baseball again. Sense 6 is "live or behave in a specified manner" - not applicable. Sense 7 is "be or act in association with" - not. Sense 8 is "walk at a pace" specifically for horses, but here it's a person. Sense 9 is "make walk" (e.g., walk the dog) - the driver is walking himself. Sense 10 is "take a walk; go for a walk; walk for pleasure" - but here the driver is walking back in anger, not for pleasure. So sense 1 is correct.

Context:
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. 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. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them.

So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target word "stranger" in a context. The candidate senses are two:
1. sense_key=stranger%1:18:00:: | definition=anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found | synonyms=alien, unknown
2. sense_key=stranger%1:18:01:: | definition=an individual that one is not acquainted with

We need to choose the best indexed sense. The context: The stranger is described as someone crossing the street, and then he thanks Haney (the narrator?) and puts an arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. The key point: is he a stranger in the sense of not belonging in the environment, or simply someone not acquainted? The context does not suggest he is alien or out of place; rather, he is just a person that the narrator and Haney do not know. The phrase "the stranger" is used to refer to a person who is not known to the characters. The driver curses at both of them as if they were in a plot together. The stranger acts familiar with Haney. So it is about not being acquainted. Sense 2 is more appropriate: an individual that one is not acquainted with. Sense 1 would imply someone who does not belong in the environment, but there is no indication that he is out of place; he is simply a pedestrian. So I choose sense 2.

The output should be a JSON object with "sense_index" key? The instruction says: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." But in the candidate, senses are numbered 1 and 2. So the index for sense 2 is 2. The example shows "sense_index": 3, but that's just an example. So I'll output {"sense_index": 2}.

Target lemma: arm
Target surface form: arm
Context:
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. 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. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one <t>arm</t> around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content: We are given the context: "the stranger... had one <t>arm</t> around his shoulders as if he were an old friend." Here, "arm" clearly refers to a body part, the human limb. That matches sense 1: "a human limb; technically the part of the superior limb between the shoulder and the elbow but commonly used to refer to the whole superior limb." The other senses (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are not relevant. Sense 1 is the correct one. So the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We are given: "had one arm around his shoulders". The target word is "shoulders" (plural). In context, it's about a person having an arm around someone's shoulders. This clearly refers to the part of the body. So sense 1 is the most appropriate: "the part of the body between the neck and the upper arm". The other senses: meat cut, joint, part of garment, edge of road are not relevant. So answer should be sense index 1.

reasoning_content: We are given: "the stranger ... had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an <t>old</t> friend." The context indicates that the stranger is treating Phil (Haney) as if he were a very familiar friend, even though they are strangers. So "old friend" here means a long-standing, familiar friend. Sense 3: "(used for emphasis) very familiar" with example "good old boy; same old story" fits. Sense 2 is about duration/not new, but it's more general; sense 3 specifically indicates emphasis on familiarity. Also sense 5 (erstwhile, former) could mean former friend, but here it's used as if they were long-time friends. The phrase "as if he were an old friend" is a common expression meaning a very familiar friend, even if they just met. So sense 3 is best.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "friend" fits the context. The passage describes a stranger who thanks Haney profusely and puts an arm around his shoulders "as if he were an old friend". This indicates a close personal relationship, but it's a metaphorical comparison: the stranger acts as if they were old friends, even though they just met. The best sense is likely the first one: "a person you know well and regard with affection and trust". The other senses: ally (cooperation), acquaintance (just known), supporter (backs a team/politician), Quaker. The context emphasizes affection and trust, as the stranger is grateful and acts like an old friend. So sense 1.

reasoning_content: We need to disambiguate "driver" in the context. The context describes a truck driver who is angry after a near-accident. The driver is operating a motor vehicle (a truck).

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "curse" in context. The context: the truck driver started to curse at both of them. The driver is angry and shouts obscenities or profanities at them. The sense "utter obscenities or profanities" (sense 1) fits perfectly. Sense 2 is "heap obscenities upon" which is similar but typically directed at someone; however the example shows cursing the passenger. In the context, the driver is cursing at them, so it could be either 1 or 2. Sense 1 is more general "utter obscenities" and sense 2 is specifically heaping upon. The driver is directing his curses at them, so sense 2 might be more precise. But sense 1 also includes "cuss, blaspheme, swear" and the example "The drunken men were cursing loudly in the street" which is general. The context says "started to curse at both of them" which implies he is directing his curse words at them, so sense 2 "heap obscenities upon" is appropriate. Sense 3 is about wishing harm, which is not indicated. Sense 4 is excommunication. So best is sense 2. But let's double-check: sense 2 definition "heap obscenities upon" and example about taxi driver cursing the passenger. That matches. So answer {"sense_index": 2}.

The sentence: "So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a <t>plot</t> together to ruin his safe-driving record." The driver thinks the two men (Phil/Haney and the stranger) conspired together to make him hit someone. This is a secret scheme, an underhand plan. That matches sense 1: "a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal)". The synonyms "secret plan, game" and example "they concocted a plot to discredit the governor" fit. The other senses: plot of land, story, or chart do not fit. So sense_index is 1

reasoning_content: We are given a context where a truck driver is angry and starts cursing at two people, accusing them of plotting together to ruin his safe-driving record. The word "ruin" here means to spoil or destroy the driver's record, i.e., to cause it to fail or be damaged. This best matches sense 2: "destroy or cause to fail" with examples like "This behavior will ruin your chances of winning the election." Sense 1 is about destroying something physically or completely, but here it's about a record, which is abstract. Sense 3 is about bankruptcy, sense 4 about reducing to ruins (physical), sense 5 about depriving of virginity, sense 6 about falling into ruin. So sense 2 is most appropriate.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "the truck driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving <t>record</t>." The context is about a truck driver who is angry because his safe-driving record might be ruined. This refers to his history of safe driving, i.e., his track record or accumulated accomplishments (or lack of accidents). The best sense among the candidates is sense 4: "the sum of recognized accomplishments" with synonyms "track record". The example "the lawyer has a good record" matches. Sense 5 is about a compilation of known facts, but that is more about a book or document. Sense 8 is criminal record, not applicable. Sense 4 fits best. Sense index 4.

Thus output: {"sense_index": 4}

Target lemma: man
Target surface form: man
Context:
His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the <t>man</t> he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "man" is used in the context. The target surface form "man" appears in the sentence: "Then the <t>man</t> he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word." The context: A stranger saved someone (Haney?) Actually, earlier: "the stranger was thanking Haney profusely" and then the driver curses at both. Then "the man he saved turned..." So "the man he saved" refers to the person who was saved by Haney? Actually careful: The narrator says "He" (the protagonist) saved someone? Let's read: "His shout had been involuntary... he wouldn't have cared if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver... By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely..." So "the stranger" is thanking Haney. Then "the man he saved" - here "he" likely refers to Haney? Or the protagonist? The sentence: "Then the man he saved turned..." The antecedent of "he" is ambiguous but likely refers to Haney because Haney is the one who saved the stranger? Or maybe the protagonist saved the stranger? The text says "His shout" intended to warn? But then the stranger thanks Haney. So Haney might have saved the stranger? Actually, earlier: "he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit." So the protagonist didn't care. But then the stranger thanks Haney. So Haney might have done something to save him. Then the driver curses at both. "Then the man he saved turned..." So "the man" is the person who was saved by Haney. That man is the stranger. So "man" here refers to an adult male person. The context is a normal use of "man" to refer to a male individual. Not military, not generic human, not valet, not board game piece, not Isle of Man, etc. So sense 1 is appropriate: adult person who is male. Sense 6 (manly character) might be possible but not explicitly indicated; sense 8 (lover) is not relevant. So best is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the context: "the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face". The target is "saved". Which sense? The context: a truck driver had come to a stop, and the stranger (the man who was saved) was thanking Haney. Then the driver cursed at both of them. Then the man he saved turned and looked at the driver's face. So the man was saved from something? Possibly from being hit or from a dangerous situation? The definition: "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" (sense 1) or "bring into safety" (sense 3). The examples for sense 3: "We pulled through most of the victims of the bomb attack" - that fits rescuing from danger. The context: the guy had been in danger of being hit? Actually, earlier: "he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit." So the man was saved from being hit? But more likely, the man was saved from the truck driver's anger? Actually, the driver initially was angry and cursing, but then stopped. The man was saved from harm? It seems like a rescue from a dangerous situation. Sense 1: "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" - that could be abstract. But the specific action: The man was saved from the truck driver's wrath? However, the context says "the man he saved" - meaning the man that Haney (or the speaker?) saved? Actually the sentence: "Then the man he saved turned..." The "he" refers to the person who shouted? The text: "His shout had been involuntary... he regretted having opened his mouth... Then the man he saved..." So the person who shouted (the protagonist) saved the man? But earlier: "the stranger was thanking Haney profusely" - so Haney is the one being thanked. So the man (the stranger) was saved by Haney? Actually, it's ambiguous: "the man he saved" - the subject "he" is the person who shouted? Or the driver? Let's parse: "Then the man he saved turned..." The "he" likely refers to the person who shouted (the protagonist). Because the protagonist is the one who had the thought, and then the man he saved turned. So the protagonist saved the man from something? But it says "His shout had been involuntary... he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit." So the protagonist had shouted involuntarily, and then the truck driver stopped and started cursing. The man he saved? Actually, the protagonist said something? No, the protagonist's shout was involuntary. Then the driver stopped and cursed at both of them (the protagonist and the stranger). Then the man he saved turned... So the "he" is the protagonist? Or could it be the truck driver? Let's read carefully: "By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word." The "he" here could refer to the truck driver? "the man he saved" - the driver saved? But the driver is the one who was angry. The driver saved the man? No, the driver didn't save anyone. The protagonist? The protagonist is the one who shouted. He saved the man? Actually, the shout was involuntary, and he didn't care if the guy got hit. So he didn't save anyone. The context says "the man he saved" - it might be ambiguous. But likely "he" refers to the protagonist (the person who shouted) because the previous sentence: "He regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop..." Then "the man he saved" - so the protagonist saved the man by shouting? That seems odd. Actually, the shout might have alerted the driver, causing him to stop, and thus the man (the stranger) was saved from being hit? The text says: "His shout had been involuntary... he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit." So the guy (the stranger) was about to be hit? The truck was coming? Then the protagonist shouted, and the truck stopped? But then the driver got out and cursed. So the shout actually caused the driver to stop, saving the man from being hit? That makes sense: the man (the stranger) was saved from being hit by the truck. So the sense is about saving from harm or danger. Sense 1 or 3? Sense 1: "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" - that fits. Sense 3: "bring into safety" - also fits. But sense 3 has synonyms "carry through, pull through, bring through" which is more about rescuing from a dangerous situation. The examples: "We pulled through most of the victims of the bomb attack" - that's similar. The context: the man was saved from being hit by the truck. So sense 3 is about bringing into safety. Also, note that sense 2 is about preserving for personal use, sense 4 about spending less, etc. Not relevant. So the best sense is either 1 or 3. Which one? Both have similar definitions. But look at the verb group: sense 1 is "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" with synonyms salvage, salve, relieve. That might be more about saving from harm in a general sense. Sense 3 is "bring into safety" with synonyms carry through, etc. That is more specific to rescuing from danger. In this context, the man was saved from being hit by a truck, so it's a physical danger. So sense 3 seems appropriate. Also, the example for sense 3 is about victims of a bomb attack - similar. So I think sense 3 is best.

But let's see the other senses: sense 8 "refrain from harming" - that is like sparing. Not fitting. So I'll go with sense 3.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 3}

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "looked" in the context: "Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word." This is clearly a physical act of directing one's gaze. Sense 1 is "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards" with examples like "Look at your child!" That fits perfectly. Other senses like "give a certain impression" or "have a certain outward facial expression" don't fit because the action is specifically looking into someone's face. So sense index 1 is correct.

We need to choose the best sense for "saying" in the context: "without saying a word". The phrase is "without saying a word" meaning not speaking. Let's examine the senses.

Sense 1: express in words – general speaking. Sense 2: report or maintain (allege). Sense 3: express a supposition (suppose) – not fitting. Sense 4: have a certain wording (read) – not for people. Sense 5: give instructions (order) – not here. Sense 6: pronounce in a certain way – not relevant. Sense 7: communicate nonverbally – but here it's "without saying a word" meaning not speaking, so presumably not nonverbally. Sense 8: utter aloud – fits "saying a word" as uttering. Sense 9: state as opinion – not exactly. Sense 10: recite fixed text – no. Sense 11: indicate (clock) – no.

The phrase "without saying a word" is about not uttering any words. Sense 8 says "utter aloud" with example "She said 'Hello'..." That seems closest. Also sense 1 "express in words" fits but is broader. However, sense 8 specifically matches "utter aloud" which is exactly what he didn't do. Also note "saying" is the gerund form. The context: "turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word." He didn't utter a word. So sense 8 is best.

But check sense 1: "express in words" – that could also work, but "utter aloud" is more precise for speaking words. Sense 1 examples: "He said that he wanted to marry her" – more about stating something. Here it's about uttering even a single word. Sense 8 explicitly includes "She said 'Hello'..." which is uttering a word. So I'll go with sense 8.

Thus JSON: {"sense_index": 8}

Target lemma: say
Target surface form: saying
Context:
His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without <t>saying</t> a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 11. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "saying" in the context: "without saying a word." The phrase "without saying a word" means without speaking or uttering any sound. This aligns with sense 8: "utter aloud". The example "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office" fits. Sense 1 is "express in words" but that is more general. Sense 8 is more specific to uttering aloud. The context is about not speaking at all, so "utter aloud" is appropriate. Thus sense index 8.
