Target lemma: next
Target surface form: next
Context:
I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK. Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor. 11:59 p.m. JKD: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table <t>next</t> to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together. That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=next%5:00:00:succeeding:00 | definition=immediately following in time or order | synonyms=following | examples=the following day; next in line
2. sense_key=next%5:00:00:close:01 | definition=nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space | synonyms=adjacent, side by side | examples=had adjacent rooms; in the next room
3. sense_key=next%5:00:00:incoming:00 | definition=(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving | synonyms=future, succeeding | examples=our next president

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "next" in the context: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table <t>next</t> to mine". The phrase "the table next to mine" indicates spatial proximity, meaning the table that is adjacent or nearest in space. This matches sense 2: "nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space" with synonyms "adjacent, side by side" and example "in the next room". Sense 1 is about time or order (succeeding), sense 3 is about elected officers not yet serving. So the correct sense is 2.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=guilty%3:00:00:: | definition=responsible for or chargeable with a reprehensible act | examples=guilty of murder; the guilty person
2. sense_key=guilty%5:00:00:ashamed:00 | definition=showing a sense of guilt; ; - Eric Linklater | synonyms=hangdog, shamefaced, shamed | examples=a guilty look; the hangdog and shamefaced air of the retreating enemy

raw_output:
We are given a sentence: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that <t>guilty</t> smile and we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake! 'together." The target word "guilty" is used to describe a smile. The candidate senses are:

1. responsible for or chargeable with a reprehensible act (e.g., guilty of murder; the guilty person)
2. showing a sense of guilt; synonyms: hangdog, shamefaced, shamed (e.g., a guilty look; the hangdog and shamefaced air of the retreating enemy)

In context, the speaker is describing a smile that is "guilty" in the sense of acknowledging something, perhaps a shared experience of anticipating the earthquake. It's not about being responsible for a crime; it's about a look or expression that conveys a sense of guilt or embarrassment. The phrase "that guilty smile" suggests a smile that indicates a feeling of guilt or shame, likely because they both knew what was happening (earthquake) and perhaps were caught off guard or had a shared secret. The second sense (sense_key=guilty%5:00:00:ashamed:00) is about showing a sense of guilt, like a guilty look. That matches the context better. So the best sense is sense index 2 (since it's the second sense listed, but note the JSON expects sense_index as number, so 2). However, the example format says "sense_index": 3? Wait, the senses are numbered 1 and 2 in the list. The instruction says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." That's just an example; we need to output the correct index. The first sense is sense_key=guilty%3:00:00: (indexed as 1?) Actually, the senses are given as "1. sense_key=guilty%3:00:00::" and "2. sense_key=guilty%5:00:00:ashamed:00". So sense 1 and sense 2. So we should choose sense 2. But the example output shows {"sense_index": 3}, which is weird; that might be a placeholder. We should follow the numbering: the first sense is 1, second is 2. So answer with {"sense_index": 2}. But double-check: The instruction says "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key." and "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." That is likely a typo in the example; they mean use the number of the sense as per the list. I'll go with 2.{"sense_index": 2}

We are given a sentence: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that <t>guilty</t> smile and we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake! 'together." The target word "guilty" is used to describe a smile. The candidate senses are:

1. responsible for or chargeable with a reprehensible act (e.g., guilty of murder; the guilty person)
2. showing a sense of guilt; synonyms: hangdog, shamefaced, shamed (e.g., a guilty look; the hangdog and shamefaced air of the retreating enemy)

In context, the speaker is describing a smile that is "guilty" in the sense of acknowledging something, perhaps a shared experience of anticipating the earthquake. It's not about being responsible for a crime; it's about a look or expression that conveys a sense of guilt or embarrassment. The phrase "that guilty smile" suggests a smile that indicates a feeling of guilt or shame, likely because they both knew what was happening (earthquake) and perhaps were caught off guard or had a shared secret. The second sense (sense_key=guilty%5:00:00:ashamed:00) is about showing a sense of guilt, like a guilty look. That matches the context better.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 2. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose between sense 1 and sense 2. The context is "smiled that guilty smile". This refers to a smile that shows a sense of guilt or embarrassment, not being legally guilty. So sense 2 (showing a sense of guilt) fits better. Sense 1 is about being responsible for a reprehensible act. So the correct answer is sense index 2. The JSON should be {"sense_index": 2}.

Target lemma: mouth
Target surface form: mouthed
Context:
I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK. Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor. 11:59 p.m. JKD: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both <t>mouthed</t> the words, "Earth-quake! "together. That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=mouth%2:32:00:: | definition=express in speech | synonyms=talk, speak, utter, verbalize, verbalise | examples=She talks a lot of nonsense; This depressed patient does not verbalize
2. sense_key=mouth%2:32:01:: | definition=articulate silently; form words with the lips only | examples=She mouthed a swear word
3. sense_key=mouth%2:35:00:: | definition=touch with the mouth

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "mouth" with surface form "mouthed". The context is: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both <t>mouthed</t> the words, "Earth-quake! "together."

We need to choose among three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=mouth%2:32:00:: | definition=express in speech | synonyms=talk, speak, utter, verbalize, verbalise | examples=She talks a lot of nonsense; This depressed patient does not verbalize
2. sense_key=mouth%2:32:01:: | definition=articulate silently; form words with the lips only | examples=She mouthed a swear word
3. sense_key=mouth%2:35:00:: | definition=touch with the mouth

In the context, they "mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!'" This suggests they formed the word with their lips without making sound, because they are in a quiet or tense situation (earthquake). The example for sense 2 is exactly "She mouthed a swear word", which matches the action of silently articulating. Sense 1 is about expressing in speech (talking, speaking), which would involve audible words. Sense 3 is about touching with the mouth, which doesn't fit here.

Thus, the best sense is sense index 2.

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "word" with surface form "words" in the context. The context describes two people together mouthing the words "Earth-quake!" The key phrase: "we both mouthed the <t>words</t>, 'Earth-quake!' together." This refers to spoken language, specifically a unit of language. The most appropriate sense is the first one: a unit of language that native speakers can identify. The other senses do not fit: it's not a brief statement (that would be more like "he didn't say a word about it"), not news, not a command, not a discussion, not a promise, not a computer term, not divine, not a password, not scripture. The context clearly shows them mouthing the words "Earth-quake!" so it's about linguistic units. Thus sense_index 1.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "earthquake" in the context. The context describes a physical temblor: "I felt the temblor begin" and "temblor" is a synonym for earthquake in sense 1. The sentence mentions "Earth-quake!" as a word they mouth together, referring to the shaking. No indication of metaphorical disruption. So sense 1 is correct. Sense 2 is metaphorical. Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "long" in the context: "That's usually how <t>long</t> it takes for the temblors to pass." The context is about the duration of time it takes for earthquakes (temblors) to pass. The speaker says "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass." This is clearly referring to a duration of time. Among the candidate senses, sense 1 is "primarily temporal sense; being or indicating a relatively great or greater than average duration or passage of time or a duration as specified". This matches perfectly. The other senses are spatial (2), height (3), memory (4), financial (5), speech sounds (6), risk (7), provident (8), abundant (9). None of these fit the temporal duration context. Therefore, the best sense is sense 1.

reasoning_content: We need to determine the correct sense of "takes" in the context: "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass." The phrase "it takes" refers to the amount of time required for the temblors to pass. This aligns with sense 2: "require (time or space)" with examples like "It took three hours to get to work this morning." Also note sense 14: "require as useful, just, or proper" but that is more about necessity (e.g., it takes nerve), whereas here it's specifically time. Sense 2 explicitly mentions time. So sense_index 2.

Context:
Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor. 11:59 p.m. JKD: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start.

reasoning_content: We are given a context where the target word "pass" appears: "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to <t>pass</t>." The speaker is describing earthquakes (temblors). Usually, the tremors pass quickly, but this time they got stronger. The sense here is about the earthquake ending or disappearing. The relevant candidates are sense 13: "disappear gradually" with examples like "The pain eventually passed off". Also sense 4: "pass by" meaning elapse or go by (of time). But here it's about the earthquake itself passing, not time elapsing. Sense 1: go across/through is not correct. Sense 2: move past is not correct. Sense 8: come to pass (happen) is opposite: it means occur, but here it's about ending. Sense 13 is the best fit: disappear gradually. Context: "it just got stronger" implies that usually it passes (disappears) quickly. So sense 13.

reasoning_content:
We are given the context: "This <t>time</t>, it just got stronger..." The target word is "time" used in the phrase "this time". The phrase "this time" refers to a particular instance or occasion. Looking at the senses: sense 1 is "an instance or single occasion for some event" with synonyms "clip" and examples "this time he succeeded; he called four times". That matches perfectly. The context contrasts this specific occasion with usual behavior. So sense index 1 is correct.

The other senses do not fit as well. Sense 2 refers to a resource, sense 3 indefinite period, sense 4 suitable moment, etc. None of those match "this time" meaning "on this occasion".

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
We are given the target word "started" in the context: "the building started shaking violently up and down". The candidate senses are various senses of the verb "start". We need to choose the best one.

The context: "the building <t>started</t> shaking violently up and down" – meaning the building began to shake. This is about something beginning to happen. The sense that fits is the one meaning "begin or set in motion" or "take the first step". But note the specific phrasing: "started shaking" – the shaking began. Among the senses, sense 1 is "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" with synonyms like begin, get down, etc. Sense 2 is "set in motion, cause to start" but that is more about causing something to start, like "start a war". Sense 9 is "begin or set in motion" with examples like "I start at eight in the morning". But sense 9 has synonyms "go, get going" and examples that are about starting an action. Sense 1 seems appropriate: "We began working at dawn; Who will start?" That matches the idea of beginning an action. The building started shaking – it began to shake. So sense 1 is a good fit.

However, sense 4 is "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" with examples like "The DMZ begins right over the hill". That might also fit, but the building started shaking is a specific action, not just a beginning in a spatial sense. Sense 5 is "bring into being" like "start a foundation". Not quite. Sense 8 is "get going or set in motion" like "start the engine". That is more about starting a machine. Here it's about starting to shake. Sense 13 is "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" with examples "begin a cigar; She started the soup while it was still hot". That seems odd. The most natural is sense 1 or sense 9. But sense 1 has "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" – that is exactly what the building did: it began to shake. So sense 1 seems best.

The instruction says to choose the single best sense. So I'll go with sense 1. But note: The candidate senses are numbered 1 to 14 in the list. We need to return the sense_index as per the numbering. So answer should be {"sense_index": 1}. But wait: The user said "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." That example has 3, but we should output the correct index. So I'll output {"sense_index": 1}.

Double-check: The context is "the building started shaking". This is a classic use of "start" as "begin". Sense 1 is "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" – that fits. Sense 9 is "begin or set in motion" with example "I start at eight in the morning" – that is more about starting a routine. So sense 1 is more precise.

Thus answer.{"sense_index": 1}

We are given the target word "started" in the context: "the building started shaking violently up and down". The candidate senses are various senses of the verb "start". We need to choose the best one.

The context: "the building <t>started</t> shaking violently up and down" – meaning the building began to shake. This is about something beginning to happen. The sense that fits is the one meaning "begin or set in motion" or "take the first step". But note the specific phrasing: "started shaking" – the shaking began. Among the senses, sense 1 is "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" with synonyms like begin, get down, etc. Sense 2 is "set in motion, cause to start" but that is more about causing something to start, like "start a war". Sense 9 is "begin or set in motion" with examples like "I start at eight in the morning". But sense 9 has synonyms "go, get going" and examples that are about starting an action. Sense 1 seems appropriate: "We began working at dawn; Who will start?" That matches the idea of beginning an action. The building started shaking – it began to shake. So sense 1 is a good fit.

However, sense 4 is "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" with examples like "The DMZ begins right over the hill". That might also fit, but the building started shaking is a specific action, not just a beginning in a spatial sense. Sense 5 is "bring into being" like "start a foundation". Not quite. Sense 8 is "get going or set in motion" like "start the engine". That is more about starting a machine. Here it's about starting to shake. Sense 13 is "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" with examples "begin a cigar; She started the soup while it was still hot". That seems odd. The most natural is sense 1 or sense 9. But sense 1 has "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" – that is exactly what the building did: it began to shake. So sense 1 seems best.

The instruction says to choose the single best sense. So I'll go with sense 1. But note: The candidate senses are numbered 1 to 14 in the list. We need to return the sense_index as per the numbering. So answer should be {"sense_index": 1}. But wait: The user said "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." That example has 3, but we should output the correct index. So I'll output {"sense_index": 1}.

Double-check: The context is "the building started shaking". This is a classic use of "start" as "begin". Sense 1 is "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" – that fits. Sense 9 is "begin or set in motion" with example "I start at eight in the morning" – that is more about starting a routine. So sense 1 is more precise.

Thus answer.{"sense_index": 1}

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 14. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the correct sense for "started" in the context: "the building started shaking violently up and down". The verb "start" here means "to begin" an action (shaking). Among the candidate senses:

- Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" (begin, get down, start out) – fits perfectly.
- Sense 2: "set in motion, cause to start" – would be if someone started the shaking, but here it's the building itself starting to shake.
- Sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" – could work but is less specific to actions.
- Sense 9: "begin or set in motion" (go, get going) – example "I start at eight" is about starting an activity, but "started shaking" is clearly beginning an action.

The best match is sense 1 because it explicitly includes the idea of taking the first steps in carrying out an action, and the example "We began working at dawn" parallels "started shaking". Other senses are for causing or setting in motion (sense 2, 8), or for spatial beginnings (sense 4, 12). So we choose sense index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "the building started <t>shaking</t> violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." The context is an earthquake making the building move. The movement is violent up and down shaking.

Look at candidate senses:
1. move or cause to move back and forth - generic, but example "my hands were shaking" might fit.
2. move with or as if with a tremor - example "his hands shook" - but this is about tremors, not necessarily violent up-down.
3. shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively - synonyms: judder - example "The old engine was juddering" - this seems to emphasize rapid and intensive vibration, which could fit the violent shaking of a building.
4. move back and forth or sideways - synonyms rock, sway - but the text says "up and down", not sideways.
5. undermine or cause to waver - abstract.
6. stir feelings - emotional.
7. get rid of - not.
8. bring to a condition by shaking - not.
9. shake a body part to communicate - not.

The building is shaking violently up and down. Sense 3 (shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively) seems the best fit because it emphasizes rapid and intensive vibration. Also the example "judder" suggests a more violent shaking. Sense 1 is too general, and sense 2 is about tremor. Sense 4 is about back and forth or sideways, but the text says up and down. So sense 3 is best.

reasoning_content: We are given: "as though it were a <t>child</t>'s toy block that was being tossed." So the target word "child" is used here in possessive form: "child's toy block". The context describes a building shaking violently like a toy block being tossed. The comparison is to a toy block that belongs to a child. Here, "child" refers to a young person, the typical owner of a toy block. That matches sense 1: a young person of either sex. It doesn't refer to offspring (sense 2) or immature childish person (sense 3) or member of a tribe (sense 4). So sense_index 1

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." The target word is "toy" in "toy block". The phrase "toy block" refers to a block that is a toy, i.e., a plaything for children. This aligns with sense 1: "an artifact designed to be played with" with synonym "plaything". Sense 2 is "a nonfunctional replica of something else" with example "a toy stove". But a toy block is typically a functional toy for building, not necessarily a nonfunctional replica. Sense 3 is "a device regarded as providing amusement" with example "private airplanes are a rich man's toy", which is more metaphorical. Sense 4 is "a copy that reproduces a person or thing in greatly reduced size" - a toy block might be a reduced size of a real block? But usually it's just a block for play. Sense 5 is about dogs. So the best fit is sense 1.

Thus the JSON output should be {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "block" in context: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." The candidate senses are numbered 1-12. The context compares the building to a "child's toy block". A child's toy block is typically a small, usually rectangular or square piece of wood or plastic. Sense 1: "a solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides)" with example "the pyramids were built with large stone blocks" – this fits well. Sense 3: "a three-dimensional shape with six square or rectangular sides" synonyms "cube" – also fits, but a toy block is often a cube or rectangular prism. However, sense 1 specifically mentions "a solid piece of something" and includes the idea of flat rectangular sides, which is more general. The context says "child's toy block" – that is a specific type of block. Sense 3 is more about the shape (cube). But many toy blocks are cubes. The definition of sense 1 includes rectangular sides, which includes cubes. Also sense 1 has an example with stone blocks, but toy blocks are similar. Sense 1 seems more appropriate because it's about a solid piece, while sense 3 is purely about shape. However, note that sense 3 has synonyms "cube" which is exactly a child's toy block often is. But the example for sense 1 is about building blocks (stone blocks) but toy blocks are similar. I think sense 1 is the best because it's more general and fits the idea of a solid piece. Also sense 3 is specifically about shape, but the context says "child's toy block" which is a specific object. I'll go with sense 1. But let's check other senses: none others fit. So answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "toss" with surface form "tossed" in the context: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." We need to choose the best sense from the list.

Let's examine each sense:

1. toss%2:35:04: throw or toss with a light motion - synonyms: flip, sky, pitch. Examples: "flip me the beachball" - This implies a gentle, light throw. The context is about violent shaking, not a light motion.

2. toss%2:38:00: lightly throw to see which side comes up - synonyms: flip. Example: flip a coin. Not relevant.

3. toss%2:35:05: throw carelessly - synonyms: chuck. Example: "chuck the ball". This suggests a casual, perhaps not forceful throw. But the context is violent shaking, not a careless throw.

4. toss%2:38:01: move or stir about violently - synonyms: convulse, thresh, thresh about, thrash, thrash about, slash. Examples: "The feverish patient thrashed around in his bed". This fits perfectly: the building is shaking violently up and down, like being tossed about. The verb "tossed" here means moving violently, not a throw.

5. toss%2:40:00: throw or cast away - synonyms: discard, fling, toss out, etc. Example: "Put away your worries". Not relevant.

6. toss%2:35:00: agitate - synonyms: none listed, example: "toss the salad". This could mean mixing, but the context is violent shaking, not a gentle agitation like salad tossing.

Therefore, the best sense is 4. So answer: {"sense_index": 4}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "library" in the context. The context: "I was in the Berkeley Main library when it hit." This refers to a physical building, likely a library that houses books and materials. It's not just a room (sense 1) because it's "Berkeley Main library" which is a building. Sense 3: "a depository built to contain books and other materials for reading and study" with synonym "depository library". Sense 5: "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials". Both are similar, but sense 3 has the synonym "depository library" and sense 5 is more general. The example in sense 1 is "they had brandy in the library" which suggests a room in a house. The context clearly indicates a large library building (Berkeley Main library). So sense 3 or 5 are both plausible. However, sense 3 specifies "depository built to contain books" which aligns with a main library. Sense 5 is just "a building that houses a collection". But note that WordNet senses are often ordered by frequency? Sense 3 is a specific type: "depository library" might refer to a library that is a depository, but Berkeley Main is likely a general academic library. Sense 5 is more generic. Given that the gloss for sense 3 includes "built to contain books and other materials for reading and study", that fits. Sense 5 is similar. But looking at the examples: sense 3 doesn't have examples, sense 5 doesn't either. The context is about an earthquake hitting the library. It's a physical structure. I think the best is sense 3 because it emphasizes the building as a depository for reading and study. Alternatively, many might choose sense 5. But to be precise, I'll check the WordNet hierarchy: sense 1 is a room, sense 2 is a collection of documents, sense 3 is a depository building, sense 4 is computing, sense 5 is a building. Actually sense 5 and 3 are very close. Possibly sense 5 is the hypernym of sense 3? But in WordNet, sense 5 (library%1:06:02) is "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials" and sense 3 (library%1:06:00) is "a depository built to contain books and other materials for reading and study". The difference is that sense 3 specifies "depository" and "for reading and study". In context, "Berkeley Main library" is likely a library for reading and study, so sense 3 fits. Also the phrase "Main library" suggests it's a main building, a depository. I'll go with sense index 3.

reasoning_content: We are given a context: "I was in the Berkeley Main library when it hit." The "it" refers to the earthquake (temblor). So the earthquake hit or struck suddenly. The context describes the shaking and the earthquake itself. Among the senses, sense 5: "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" with example "We were hit by really bad weather" fits perfectly. Also sense 2 is about hitting against something, but here the earthquake is the subject, and it "hits" meaning it occurs suddenly and affects people. Sense 9 "cause to experience suddenly" could also fit, but sense 5 is more specific to adverse affliction. The earthquake is a natural disaster. So sense 5 is best.

reasoning_content: We are given a context: "Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass." The word "endless" modifies "seconds" meaning the seconds felt very long, probably tiresomely long. Sense 1: "tiresomely long; seemingly without end" with synonyms eternal, interminable, and examples "endless debates; an endless conversation." That matches the feeling of seconds that seem to go on forever in a stressful situation. Sense 2 is about infinite number, not fitting. Sense 3 is about having no known beginning and end, like time, but here it's about seconds feeling long. Sense 4 is about a continuous loop, not fitting. So sense 1 is best.

Target lemma: second

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "seconds" in context. The context describes a moment of time during an earthquake: "Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle..." This clearly refers to a period of time, not a baseball position, arcseconds, attendant, gear, or merchandise. Between sense 1 and sense 2: sense 1 is exactly 1/60 of a minute, a precise unit; sense 2 is "an indefinitely short time". The context says "endless seconds", which emphasizes the subjective experience of time feeling long, not exactly measured seconds. However, "seconds" literally means units of time, but the phrase "endless seconds" suggests a figurative use meaning a short but seemingly endless period. Sense 2 fits better: "an indefinitely short time" with synonyms like moment. But sense 1 is also plausible. Looking at the examples: sense 2 example is "wait just a moment; in a mo". The context "endless seconds" is similar to "moments". Also, the sentence "endless seconds wondering" implies a brief but intense period, not necessarily precisely 60 seconds. I think sense 2 is the best match. Sense 1 might be too literal. So I'll choose sense_index 2.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "wondering" in the context. The person is in a library during an earthquake, and they are "wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass." This is a moment of uncertainty and doubt about a potential outcome. Sense 2: "place in doubt or express doubtful speculation" with synonym "question" and example "I wonder whether this was the right thing to do" fits well. Sense 1 is about a desire to know something (like curiosity), but here it's more about doubt and speculation. Sense 3 is about being amazed, which doesn't fit the fearful context. So sense 2 is best.
