reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "intended" in the phrase "No offense intended". The target lemma is "intend", and the surface form is "intended". The context: The speaker is saying "No offense intended" as part of a conversation where he's manipulating someone, playing on a "soft spot." He says gently: "No offense intended, but it's just that -- well, you know."

We have 4 candidate senses:

1. have in mind as a purpose: synonyms mean, think. Example: "I mean no harm; I only meant to help you." This seems like the phrase "no offense intended" is equivalent to "I mean no offense" or "I intend no offense." This is a common phrase: "No offense intended" meaning "I don't mean to offend you." The example "I mean no harm" matches structurally.

2. design or destine: synonyms destine, designate, specify. Example: "She was intended to become the director." This is about someone or something being destined/designed for a role. Not the meaning here.

3. mean or intend to express or convey: synonyms mean. Example: "You never understand what I mean!; what do his words intend?" This is about conveying meaning through words. The phrase "no offense intended" could be about the speaker not intending to convey offense through his words. This sense is specifically about expressing or conveying a meaning. However, the phrase "no offense intended" is typically used to clarify that the speaker's purpose is not to offend, i.e., they don't have the purpose of offending. So it aligns more with sense 1: have in mind as a purpose. Sense 3 is about what words intend, what they mean. Example: "what do his words intend?" suggests we ask what the words are meant to convey. In "no offense intended," the focus is on the speaker's intention, not the words' connotation. The phrase often means "I have no intention of offending you" or "I don't mean to offend." That's sense 1. Sense 3 might be if someone says "What did you intend by that remark?" but here it's a set phrase: "No offense intended."

4. denote or connote: synonyms mean, signify, stand for. Example: "'maison' means 'house' in French." This is about words referring to things. Not applicable.

Now, consider the phrase "No offense intended." The WordNet examples for sense 1 include "I mean no harm," which is a very close parallel: "No offense intended" = "I mean no offense." Indeed, "intend" sense 1 is "have in mind as a purpose". The phrase often is "No offense intended" meaning "I didn't have the purpose of offending you." So sense 1 is clearly the best.

Sense 3 could be considered if we take "intend" as "mean or intend to express or convey". But that is more about the content of expression: "what do his words intend?" could be "what do they mean?" However, "no offense intended" is not "I didn't intend to express offense," but rather "I didn't intend to cause offense." It's about purpose, not about expressing. So sense 1 is better.

Thus, sense_index should be 1.

We must produce a JSON object like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "said" in the context. The target lemma is "say", surface form "said". The context is a narrative. Let's analyze the context:

"Suppose -- just suppose this guy was really what he said he was T!! A retired professional killer If he was just a nut, no harm was done. But if he was the real thing, he could do something about Lolly. He felt very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot. "No offense intended ", he <t>said</t> gently. "But it's just that -- well, you know."

Here, "he said gently" is a dialogue tag. The person is speaking words. The phrase "No offense intended" is what he said aloud. Then he continues with "But it's just that -- well, you know." So "said" is used to indicate that he spoke those words. This is a straightforward use of "say" as in expressing in words.

Let's check the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=say%2:32:00:: definition=express in words synonyms=state, tell examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you

2. sense_key=say%2:32:01:: definition=report or maintain synonyms=allege, aver examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war

3. sense_key=say%2:32:03:: definition=express a supposition synonyms=suppose examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth; Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do?

4. sense_key=say%2:42:00:: definition=have or contain a certain wording or form synonyms=read examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?

5. sense_key=say%2:32:04:: definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority synonyms=order, tell, enjoin examples=I said to him to go home; She ordered him to do the shopping

6. sense_key=say%2:32:02:: definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way synonyms=pronounce, articulate, enounce, sound out, enunciate examples=She pronounces French words in a funny way; I cannot say `zip wire'

7. sense_key=say%2:32:07:: definition=communicate or express nonverbally examples=What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?

8. sense_key=say%2:32:15:: definition=utter aloud examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office

9. sense_key=say%2:32:13:: definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare examples=I say let's forget this whole business

10. sense_key=say%2:32:08:: definition=recite or repeat a fixed text examples=Say grace; She said her `Hail Mary'

11. sense_key=say%2:32:09:: definition=indicate examples=The clock says noon

The context shows direct speech: "No offense intended", he said gently. This is reporting speech. The sense of "say" as utter aloud or express in words. Among the options, sense 1 (express in words) fits best. Sense 8 is "utter aloud", which is also very close, but sense 1 is more general and includes "express in words". Sense 8 emphasizes the act of uttering aloud, while sense 1 is about expressing in words. Typically, in narrative dialogue tags, "said" is the standard verb for reporting speech, which corresponds to expressing in words. I'd pick sense 1.

Check the examples: "He said that he wanted to marry her" is reported speech, similar to "he said gently, 'No offense intended'." So sense 1 is appropriate. Sense 8's example: "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office" is also direct speech, but sense 1 includes "state, tell". Both could work, but sense 1 is broader and likely the primary sense. In WordNet, sense 1 is the most common. I'll go with sense 1.

Therefore, answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for the word "suspect" in the given context. The context: "The cops didn't <t>suspect</t> a thing, and I thought it was a coincidence." The target is "suspect". We have three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=suspect%2:32:00:: | definition=imagine to be the case or true or probable | synonyms=surmise | examples=I suspect he is a fugitive; I surmised that the butler did it
2. sense_key=suspect%2:31:00:: | definition=regard as untrustworthy; regard with suspicion; have no faith or confidence in | synonyms=distrust, mistrust
3. sense_key=suspect%2:32:02:: | definition=hold in suspicion; believe to be guilty | examples=The U.S. suspected Bin Laden as the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks

In context: "The cops didn't suspect a thing" means the police had no suspicion, they didn't believe anything was wrong or that there was a crime. It's saying they didn't suspect (i.e., had no suspicion) about something. Sense 3 is about believing someone to be guilty, often in a criminal context. Sense 1 is about imagining something to be true. Sense 2 is about distrusting someone. Here, "cops didn't suspect a thing" is an idiomatic expression; it means they didn't suspect anything was amiss, they didn't have any suspicion. It's closest to sense 1? Actually, "suspect" meaning to imagine something to be the case, to think that something is likely. But note the example for sense 1: "I suspect he is a fugitive" or "I surmised that the butler did it" — it's a general belief that something is true. Sense 3 is more specific to holding someone in suspicion, believing them to be guilty of something. In "cops didn't suspect a thing", it's about suspecting a thing (like a crime or wrongdoing), not necessarily a person. It could be interpreted as they didn't have any suspicion that anything was wrong. Typically, we say "suspect something" meaning to think it exists or is true. For example, "I suspect foul play" means I think foul play occurred. That aligns with sense 1: imagining to be the case. Sense 3 requires believing someone to be guilty, often with a direct object that is a person: "The U.S. suspected Bin Laden". In the context, "a thing" is not a person, so sense 3 is less fitting. Sense 2 is about distrust, which doesn't fit because they didn't distrust "a thing". So sense 1 is the most appropriate: the cops didn't imagine anything to be the case, they didn't suspect anything.

Thus, I choose sense 1.

reasoning_content: We are asked to choose the best sense for "thing" in the sentence: "The cops didn't suspect a <t>thing</t>". In this context, it's part of a conversation where the speaker is saying the cops didn't suspect anything, they didn't suspect something. The phrase "didn't suspect a thing" means they didn't suspect anything at all, no specific thing. This is a common expression meaning that they had no suspicion whatsoever. So "thing" here is used to mean any object or entity, but in a negative sense: not any single thing. It's like "I didn't see a thing" meaning I saw nothing. So it's a non-specific entity. Among the senses, sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically" fits well. The example: "I couldn't tell what the thing was" - but here it's a negative: they didn't suspect any unspecified thing. Also sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" could be relevant, but "didn't suspect a thing" is more about any entity at all, not a concern or matter. Sense 6 has synonyms "matter, affair", which might be used in "I have a thing to discuss" but not in this idiom. Sense 8 is more generic: an entity not named specifically. The cops didn't suspect any specific entity. So I'll go with sense 8. Other senses: sense 1 (special situation) doesn't fit, sense 2 (an action) might? "didn't suspect a thing" - an action? Suspect an action? Not really, they suspected something, an object of suspicion. Sense 3 (special abstraction) no. Sense 4 (artifact) could be, but "thing" here is not necessarily an artifact; it's whatever might have been suspicious. Sense 5 (event) might be possible but suspecting an event? Possibly, but the broad unspecified entity is better. Sense 7 (statement) no. Sense 9 (attribute) no. Sense 10 (objective) no. Sense 11 (illogical feeling) definitely no. Sense 12 (separate and self-contained entity) is also a possibility, but sense 8 is specifically for unnamed entities, which aligns with the idiom. Sense 12 is broader "separate and self-contained entity", but 8 directly says "an entity that is not named specifically", matching the use where the thing is not specified. So 8 is best.

We are given: target lemma=think, target surface form=thought, context="I thought it was a coincidence." Let's analyze the sentence.

"I thought it was a coincidence." The speaker is expressing that they believed or considered that something (the situation with the cops not suspecting anything) was a coincidence. This is a past-tense mental state of judging or regarding something. Let's check the candidate senses.

Sense 1: judge or regard; look upon; judge — synonyms: believe, consider, conceive — example: I think he is very smart; I believe her to be very smart. This fits "I thought it was a coincidence" meaning I considered/judged it to be a coincidence. Compare sense 2: expect, believe, or suppose — synonyms: opine, suppose, imagine, reckon, guess — example: I imagine she earned a lot of money; I thought to find her in a bad state. This is more about supposing or expecting. The context is about a belief about a past event, not an expectation or supposition about future/state? Sense 1 seems more direct: "I thought it was a coincidence" = I believed/judged it was a coincidence. Sense 3 is about active reasoning process, not the result of a belief. Sense 4 is about recalling from memory, not here. Sense 5 is imagining, not. Sense 6 is focusing attention (think big). Sense 7 is having purpose/intention (I mean no harm). Sense 8 is deciding by pondering. Sense 9 is pondering/reflecting. Sense 10 is disposing mind. Sense 11 is having/formulating thoughts. Sense 12 is capability of thought. Sense 13 is mental preoccupation bringing into a state. The best is sense 1: judge or regard. That is the most common use for "I thought X was Y". So index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "coincidence" in the given context. The target is "coincidence" (misspelled in the context as "coincidence" but it's clearly "coincidence"). Context: "The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I thought it was a <t>coincidence</t>. After all, I didn't know you, Pete." The speaker is explaining that he thought something was a coincidence, meaning an accidental or chance event. He didn't know Pete, so it seemed like a chance happening.

Now, look at the candidate senses:
1. sense 1: an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental. Synonyms: happenstance. This fits: "I thought it was a coincidence" meaning it seemed accidental.
2. sense 2: the quality of occupying the same position or area in space. Example: "he waited for the coincidence of the target and the cross hairs". This is about spatial coincidence, not relevant.
3. sense 3: the temporal property of two things happening at the same time. Synonyms: concurrence, conjunction, co-occurrence. This is about timing, but the context is about the event itself being accidental, not just the timing. The speaker says "I thought it was a coincidence" meaning it was an accidental occurrence. Sense 1 explicitly says "an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental," which matches the feel of the context.

So, sense 1 is the best match.

Return {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the word "know" in the sentence: "After all, I didn't <t>know</t> you, Pete." The context is a person speaking to another, saying he didn't know him, implying lack of acquaintance. The phrase "know you" clearly refers to being familiar or acquainted with a person.

Let's review the candidate senses:

1. be cognizant or aware of a fact... (knowledge of facts)
2. know how to do something (skill)
3. be aware of the truth; believe or regard as true (conviction)
4. be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object (acquaintance)
5. firsthand knowledge of states, emotions, sensations (experience)
6. accept someone's claim or authority
7. have fixed in the mind (memorized knowledge, like Latin or verbs)
8. have sexual intercourse with
9. know the nature or character of
10. be able to distinguish
11. perceive as familiar

In the context: "I didn't know you" – clearly sense 4: be familiar or acquainted with a person. The example for sense 4: "Do you know my sister?" is a direct parallel. The speaker is saying they weren't acquainted with Pete.

So the best sense is 4.

reasoning_content: We are given: target lemma "say", context: "But if you <t>say</t> you managed it "The stranger was hooked." The target is "say" in the phrase "if you say you managed it". The speaker is responding to the stranger's claim that he managed something. The context suggests the speaker is skeptical or acknowledging the claim: "But if you say you managed it" meaning if you claim/assert that you managed it. This is not about expressing in words in a general sense, but about reporting or maintaining a claim. The synonyms for sense 2 are "allege, aver", which fits perfectly: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war". This is about asserting something that might be doubted. Sense 1 is too broad, just expressing in words. Sense 3 is a supposition (let's say). Sense 4 is about wording. Sense 5 is giving instructions. Sense 6 is pronunciation. Sense 7 is nonverbal. Sense 8 is uttering aloud. Sense 9 is stating an opinion. Sense 10 is reciting a fixed text. Sense 11 is indicating. The best match is sense 2: report or maintain, with the nuance of alleging something possibly not believed. Therefore, index 2.

reasoning_content:
We are given the sentence: "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked." The context suggests someone (Pete?) might have "managed" something, likely an event or situation that appeared to be a coincidence or accident but was actually intentional. The speaker implies that the stranger (Pete) claims to have "managed it", meaning he caused or orchestrated it. This suggests a sense of "manage" that means to succeed in doing something, possibly through skill or cleverness, and perhaps with a hint of trickery? The context: "The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I thought it was a coincidence... But if you say you managed it..." The "it" likely refers to some event that was staged or controlled. The phrase "managed it" could mean "succeeded in doing it" or "pulled it off". Among the senses:

1. manage%2:41:09:: be successful; achieve a goal. Synonyms: pull off, negociate, bring off, carry off. Example: "I managed to carry the box upstairs." This fits: "you managed it" meaning you succeeded in doing it, you pulled it off.

5. manage%2:41:08:: achieve something by means of trickery or devious methods. Synonyms: wangle, finagle. This could fit if the context implies trickery. The cops didn't suspect, and it seemed like a coincidence, so if Pete did something devious, this sense might be appropriate. However, the context says "I thought it was a coincidence... But if you say you managed it..." The word "managed" here might simply mean "you pulled it off" or "you succeeded in doing it", not necessarily emphasizing trickery. But the overall tone suggests something clandestine. Sense 1 includes "pull off", which can have a connotation of successfully doing something difficult or deceptive. Sense 5 is specifically "by means of trickery". Which is more precise? The target word is "managed" used transitively: "you managed it". Sense 1 can be used transitively: "I managed the task" or "I managed to do it". Example: "I managed to carry the box upstairs" but that's intransitive with to-infinitive. The gloss for sense 1 says "be successful; achieve a goal", synonyms "pull off, negociate, bring off, carry off". All these can be used with an object: "pull it off", "bring it off". So "managed it" could be sense 1. Sense 5 is "achieve something by means of trickery or devious methods", synonyms "wangle, finagle". Those words are more specialized for underhandedness. The context: "the cops didn't suspect a thing", "it could have been an accident" suggests that if it was not an accident, it was intentional and hidden. That could imply trickery. However, the speaker says "But if you say you managed it..." as if the stranger claims he did it intentionally. "Managed it" might simply mean "you succeeded in making it happen without being caught". It's not necessarily that he used trickery, but he achieved it successfully. The sense 5 is more negative, but it might be the most precise because of the context of fooling the cops. But let's check the other senses. Sense 2: be in charge of, act on, or dispose of. Doesn't fit. Sense 3: come to terms with, cope. Not fit. Sense 4: watch and direct. Not. Sense 6: carry on or function, "do". Example "We could do with a little more help" is intransitive. Not. Sense 7: handle effectively, "wield". Not.

Between 1 and 5, the clue is "the cops didn't suspect a thing" and the stranger is "hooked", suggesting a con-artist scenario. So sense 5 might be more appropriate because it implies devious methods. However, many instances of "managed it" in similar contexts just mean "succeeded in doing it". For example, "He managed to fool the cops" uses sense 1 with an infinitive, but here it's "managed it", with "it" standing for the whole scheme. The definition for sense 1 says "be successful; achieve a goal" which is broad, while sense 5 adds "trickery". Given the sharky nature of the sentence ("the stranger was hooked"), it might be a con artist. The word "managed" might be used in a way that suggests slickness. I'd lean towards sense 5 because the context emphasizes that it appeared as coincidence, but if he says he "managed it", he's admitting to orchestrating it covertly. But sense 1 includes "pull off", which also implies success in something difficult or deceptive. For example, "They pulled off a bank heist" doesn't necessarily specify trickery, but sense 1 is broader. The question is: is there enough evidence to pick the trickery sense? The target word is "managed", not a more specific word like "wangled". In everyday language, "managed it" is very often used simply to mean "succeeded in doing it", even in contexts of deception. But the sense 5 is a specific sub-sense. I need to choose the single best indexed sense. I'll re-read: "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked." The phrase "managed it" might be a response to the earlier "It could have been an accident". So he's saying, "If you, Pete, claim that you made it happen (i.e., you succeeded in orchestrating it), then..." That points to success, not necessarily trickery, though the act itself involves trickery. However, the trickery is in the nature of the event, not in the managing. So "manage" here is just "succeed in doing something". The trickery is inherent to the event. So I think sense 1 is the best fit. Examples: "She succeeded in persuading us" -> "she managed it" works. "I managed to carry the box" shows sense 1. So I'll go with sense 1.

But let's double-check: The synset for sense 1 is actually "manage%2:41:09::" which is labeled as "be successful; achieve a goal" and the examples are with "to" infinitive. That synset might be intransitive? But it gives synonyms "pull off, negociate, bring off, carry off" which are transitive. So the sense allows "manage it" meaning "bring it off". Yes. Sense 5 is explicitly "achieve something by means of trickery or devious methods". Would we use "managed it" for that? "He wangled it" would be typical, not "managed it" unless the context strongly indicates wangling. Here, the conversation is colloquial. I suspect the intended meaning is just "you pulled it off". So I'll choose sense 1.

Final answer: sense_index 1.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "stranger" in the given context. We have two candidate senses:

Here, the speaker is addressing Pete, saying "I didn't know you, Pete." Then the narrative says "The stranger was hooked." So the "stranger" refers to Pete, who the speaker did not know. That aligns with sense 2: an individual that one is not acquainted with. Sense 1 is about not belonging in the environment, like an alien or unknown person in a group. But here the focus is on the lack of acquaintance: the speaker explicitly says "I didn't know you." Thus, sense 2 is the correct one.

We return JSON: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
We are given: "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly."

Context: The stranger is being described. "hooked" here likely means captivated, ensnared, or addicted. The sentence "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly." suggests a strong emotional or psychological state, like being fascinated, trapped, or addicted. We need to match this with the given senses.

Sense 1: fasten with a hook (literal) – not figurative.
Sense 2: overcharge – no.
Sense 3: crochet – no.
Sense 4: golf spin – no.
Sense 5: steal – no.
Sense 6: pilfer – no.
Sense 7: hit with a hook (boxing) – no.
Sense 8: catch with a hook (fishing) – could be metaphorical, but not fitting the "feverish eyes".
Sense 9: to cause to become dependent (addict) – "hooked" can mean addicted, as in hooked on drugs. The feverish eyes could indicate withdrawal or craving. This seems plausible.
Sense 10: secure with the foot – no.
Sense 11: entice and trap – synonyms: snare. "The stranger was hooked" meaning he was enticed and trapped, like being snared. This could fit: the stranger fell for the story, he was captivated/trapped by the speaker’s words. "His eyes burned feverishly" could indicate excitement or being caught up.
Sense 12: approach with sexual favors – no.

Between sense 9 and sense 11. Sense 9: "addict" – specifically cause to become dependent, often on a drug. Sense 11: "entice and trap" – more like luring someone into a trap. The context before: "The cops didn't suspect a thing... It could have been an accident... But if you say you managed it..." The stranger is talking to Pete? Actually, the stranger says: "But if you say you managed it..." and then "The stranger was hooked." So the stranger is being drawn in, believing the story, enticed. It's about deception. The stranger is hooked as in captivated, ensnared by the story. "Burned feverishly" suggests intense interest, not necessarily drug addiction. So sense 11 "entice and trap" with synonym "snare" fits better. Example: "The car salesman had snared three potential customers." That's about luring, convincing. Here, the speaker is likely spinning a tale to hook the stranger, making him believe something. So sense 11 is the best.

Check sense 9: Could the stranger be "addicted" to the story? That is less direct. "Hooked" often means captivated, but the gloss for 11 explicitly says "entice and trap", which captures the idea of being lured in. Therefore, I'll go with 11.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "eye", surface form "eyes", in the given context. The context: "After all, I didn't know you, Pete. It could have been an accident ". He shrugged casually. "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly. "Yes, yes ", he muttered impatiently." The target is "eyes" in "His eyes burned feverishly." We need to choose the best sense from the candidate senses provided.

Candidate senses:
1. eye%1:08:00:: (the organ of sight)
2. eye%1:09:00:: (good discernment, as in "she has an eye for fresh talent")
3. eye%1:09:01:: (attention to what is seen, as in "he tried to catch her eye")
4. eye%1:15:00:: (an area that is approximately central, like "center")
5. eye%1:06:00:: (a small hole or loop, as in a needle)

The context: "His eyes burned feverishly." This clearly refers to the physical organ of sight, as "eyes" are burning feverishly, implying an intense, passionate look. It's a metaphorical use of the organ of sight being described as burning with intensity. It's not about discernment, attention, center, or a hole. So sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Thus, we output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "His eyes burned feverishly." The target word is "burned" (lemma "burn").

We need to choose the best sense from the candidates. The context describes eyes burning with a feverish intensity. This suggests a metaphorical or intense emotional/physiological state. Let's review the candidates:

1. destroy by fire (literal fire destruction)
2. shine intensely, as if with heat (glow) - "The coals were glowing in the dark; The candles were burning" - This could fit eyes shining intensely, but "feverishly" implies more than just shining; it could be a passionate or intense emotion.
3. undergo combustion (literal)
4. cause a sharp or stinging pain or discomfort (bite, sting) - "The sun burned his face" - physical pain.
5. cause to burn or combust (cause combustion) - "The sun burned off the fog" - literal.
6. feel strong emotion, especially anger or passion - "She was burning with anger; He was burning to try out his new skies" - This is metaphorical, describing an intense emotion. "His eyes burned feverishly" could imply that his eyes showed intense emotion, like passion, excitement, or feverish intensity. "Feverishly" suggests a strong emotional state, often associated with eagerness, excitement, or delirium.
7. cause to undergo combustion (incinerate)
8. burn at the stake (execution)
9. spend money (burn through money)
10. feel hot or painful - "My eyes are burning" - This is a literal sensation of burning, like from smoke or irritation. "His eyes burned feverishly" might suggest a sensation of heat or pain, but "feverishly" ties more to a feverish state, which could be metaphorical for intense emotion or actual physical discomfort. The example "My eyes are burning" is a direct physical sensation. However, "feverishly" is an adverb that often implies a frantic, intense, or passionate manner, not just a physical sensation. So it might be more about the look in his eyes, not a literal physical pain.
11. cauterize (medical)
12. sunburn
13. duplicate data (CD burning)
14. use up energy (calories)
15. burn with heat, fire, or radiation (e.g., iron burning a hole)

The most plausible senses are 2 (shine intensely) and 6 (feel strong emotion). Also 10 (feel hot or painful) could be considered. Let's analyze: "His eyes burned feverishly." The context shows the stranger was hooked and muttered "Yes, yes" impatiently. That suggests an intense, eager, passionate state. The word "feverishly" modifies "burned." In literature, eyes "burning" often indicates intense emotion, like desire, anger, or passion. Sense 6 specifically mentions "feel strong emotion, especially anger or passion" and gives examples: "She was burning with anger; He was burning to try out his new skies." That fits well: his eyes burned with a feverish passion/eagerness. Sense 2 (shine intensely) is more about the appearance of shining, but "feverishly" doesn't just mean shining brightly; it conveys a sense of agitated intensity. Sense 10 is about a physical sensation of pain or heat, which might be possible if he was literally feverish, but the context doesn't indicate a physical illness; instead, he is hooked, interested, muttering impatiently. So the metaphorical sense of intense emotion is best. Therefore, I'll choose sense 6.

We are given a target lemma "mutter" and target surface form "muttered". The context: "It could have been an accident". He shrugged casually. "But if you say you managed it" The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly. "Yes, yes", he muttered impatiently. "Of course it looked like an accident."

Candidate senses:
1. talk indistinctly; usually in a low voice (synonyms: mumble, maunder, mussitate)
2. make complaining remarks or noises under one's breath (synonyms: murmur, grumble, croak, gnarl; examples: she grumbles when she feels overworked)

We need to choose the best indexed sense. The context has "muttered impatiently." The speaker is impatient, but the content is "Yes, yes ... Of course it looked like an accident." This is not a complaining remark; it's more like an agreement or affirmation said in a low voice due to impatience. The sense 1 is "talk indistinctly; usually in a low voice", which matches speaking in a low, possibly unclear voice. Sense 2 explicitly involves complaining. The example for sense 2: "she grumbles when she feels overworked" indicates a habitual or grumbling complaint. Here, the stranger is eager, saying "Yes, yes" impatiently, but not complaining. So sense 1 fits better. Thus, index 1.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "look" with surface form "looked" in the given context. The context is: "He shrugged casually. 'But if you say you managed it 'The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly. 'Yes, yes ', he muttered impatiently. 'Of course it looked like an accident. I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi.'"

We need to choose the single best indexed sense from the provided list of 10 candidate senses. The target word is "looked" in the phrase "Of course it looked like an accident." Here, "looked" is part of the phrase "looked like", which is a common construction meaning "appeared to be" or "seemed". The speaker is saying that the incident appeared to be an accident. So we need to find the sense that matches "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect". That is sense 2: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" with synonyms "appear, seem", and examples: "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem." The example exactly fits "it looked like an accident" meaning "it seemed to be an accident". Sense 3 is about facial expression: "have a certain outward or facial expression" with examples "How does she look?; The child looks unhappy". That is more about a person's expression, not about an event seeming like something. Sense 9 is "accord in appearance with" with example "You don't look your age!" but that typically refers to appearance matching some expected attribute, not a general impression of being something. So sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "way" in the sentence: "I always work it that <t>way</t> -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi." The speaker is explaining how they manage to make something look like an accident. The phrase "work it that way" refers to the manner or method of doing something. The context is about achieving a result (making it look like an accident) by a specific method.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. manner, mode, style, fashion: how something is done or happens. Example: "her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking." Could fit: "I always work it that way" meaning "I always do it in that manner." But is it more about the result or the manner?

2. means, agency: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved. Example: "a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction." This sense focuses on the instrument or method to achieve an end. "Work it that way" could mean using that method/means to achieve the result. This seems directly about achieving an end.

3. direction: a line leading to a place or point. Not applicable.

4. condition of things: "that's the way it is". Not applicable.

5. course of conduct: "the path of virtue; we went our separate ways". Could be a stretch, but not exactly.

6. artifact: road or path. Not applicable.

7. journey or passage. Not applicable.

8. space for movement. Not applicable.

9. property of distance. Not applicable.

10. doing as one pleases. Not applicable.

11. general category of things: "in the way of". Not applicable.

12. portion. Not applicable.

The main contenders are 1 and 2. The phrase "work it that way" means "do it using that method" or "in that manner." Both senses are quite close. Sense 1 is about the manner of doing something, the style. Sense 2 is specifically about a means to an end. Since the context involves achieving a result (making it look like an accident), sense 2 might be more precise: the way is the means by which he accomplishes the deception. But sense 1 could also work as the manner in which he executes the plan. However, the examples for sense 2 include "a means of control," which is about achieving an end, while sense 1 examples are about behavior style (dignified manner, rapid manner). In "work it that way," the emphasis is on the method to achieve the result, not just the style. So I'd lean towards sense 2.

Also, note that WordNet sometimes distinguishes these finely. Sense 1 is more about the manner, while sense 2 is the instrumental means. Given that the speaker is talking about a technique to create an alibi, sense 2 seems more appropriate.

Thus, I choose sense 2.

We need to choose the best sense from the 10 candidate senses provided. The context: "I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi." So "time" here refers to a specific moment or occasion. It is "at a time when..." meaning an instance or occasion. The senses:

1. sense_key=time%1:11:00:: | definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | synonyms=clip | examples=this time he succeeded; he called four times
2. sense_key=time%1:28:05:: | definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish
3. sense_key=time%1:28:00:: | definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | examples=he waited a long time; the time of year for planting

5. sense_key=time%1:03:00:: | definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
6. sense_key=time%1:11:01:: | definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears; they had a good time together

10. sense_key=time%1:28:01:: | definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | synonyms=prison term, sentence | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months; his sentence was 5 to 10 years

The phrase "at a time when" clearly indicates a specific occasion or instance. Sense 1 is "an instance or single occasion for some event" with example "this time he succeeded". Sense 6 is about a person's experience on a particular occasion, but that would be something like "he had a time", not "at a time". Sense 4 is "a suitable moment", like "it is time to go". But "at a time when" is more neutral than "suitable moment". Sense 1 captures the idea of an instance. So I'll choose sense_index 1.

Let's confirm: "at a time when the customer has an alibi" means on each occasion that he does the thing, he makes sure it's a moment when the customer has an alibi. So it's an instance. Sense 1 fits best.

Thus, output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "has" in the sentence: "I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi." We need to choose the best sense from the candidate list.

First, analyze the context: The speaker is explaining that they arrange it so the customer has an alibi. "Has" here means the customer possesses an alibi. It's about possession or having something.

Now look at the candidate senses:

1. have%2:40:00:: | definition=have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense. Examples: She has $1,000 in the bank; He has got two beautiful daughters. This fits: having an alibi is possessing an alibi.

2. have%2:42:00:: | have as a feature. Example: This restaurant features the most famous chefs. Not appropriate; an alibi is not a feature.

3. have%2:39:06:: | go through (mental or physical states or experiences). Example: get an idea. Not about possessing an alibi.

4. have%2:40:04:: | have ownership or possession of. Example: He owns three houses. This also sounds like possession, but note the distinction: sense 1 is more general "have or possess", sense 4 is specifically "ownership or possession". An alibi is not something you own; it's something you have as an attribute or claim. Typically, "have an alibi" means you possess an alibi, but it's abstract. Sense 1 includes abstract possession. Sense 4 might be more about owning physical objects.

5. cause to move, etc. Not relevant.

6. consume, ingest. No.

7. have a personal or business relationship. No.

8. organize or be responsible for. No.

9. have left. No.

10. be confronted with. Example: What do we have here? Not.

11. undergo. Example: The stocks had a fast run-up. An alibi is not something you undergo.

12. suffer from; be ill with. No.

13. cause to do. No.

14. receive willingly something given or offered. No.

15. get something; come into possession of. Could be, but alibi is not something you receive.

16. undergo (as of injuries). No.

17. achieve a point or goal. No.

18. cause to be born. No.

19. have sex with. No.

The two top candidates are senses 1 and 4. Sense 1 is "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" and includes the abstract case. Sense 4 is "have ownership or possession of" with the synonyms "own, possess", and the example "He owns three houses". Ownership implies legal possession. An alibi is not something you own like property; it's an abstract thing you have. So sense 1 is the best fit. Sense 1 explicitly mentions "abstract sense" and examples like "She has $1,000 in the bank" (abstract: having money in bank) and "He has got two daughters" (relationship, not ownership). Having an alibi is similar: you have an alibi abstractly. So I'll pick sense 1.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "alibi" in the given context. The context is from a story: "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly. "Yes, yes ", he muttered impatiently. "Of course it looked like an accident. I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi. Let me prove it, Phil."

We have two candidate senses:
1. (law) a defense by an accused person purporting to show that he or she could not have committed the crime in question
2. a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc. (synonyms: excuse, exculpation, self-justification, examples: he kept finding excuses to stay; every day he had a new alibi for not getting a job)

In the context, the speaker is talking about making a killing look like an accident, and they mention doing it at a time when the customer has an "alibi". This appears to be in a criminal context: the speaker is an assassin for hire, and the customer is the person who wants someone killed. The customer needs an alibi for the time of the murder to avoid suspicion. So, the meaning is clearly the legal sense: a defense showing the accused was elsewhere. Even though the customer might not be physically committing the crime, they are an accomplice, so they need an alibi to cover themselves. The second sense, as a general excuse for not doing something, doesn't fit here because it's about a crime, not a broken promise or offensive behavior. Thus, sense 1 is correct.

So, the answer is sense_index 1.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the word "let" in the given context. The target surface form is "Let" (capitalized) but it's the start of a sentence. The context: The stranger is speaking, saying: "Let me prove it, Phil. I think I can manage one more favor for you". So the phrase is "Let me prove it". We need to choose among 6 candidate senses.

Let's examine each sense:

1. sense_key=let%2:41:00:: | definition=make it possible through a specific action or lack of action for something to happen | synonyms=allow, permit | examples=This permits the water to rush in; This sealed door won't allow the water come into the basement. This is about enabling something to happen, often in a physical or causal sense.

2. sense_key=let%2:32:00:: | definition=actively cause something to happen | examples=I let it be known that I was not interested. This is a causative sense, where someone causes an event or state.

3. sense_key=let%2:32:02:: | definition=consent to, give permission | synonyms=permit, allow, countenance | examples=She permitted her son to visit her estranged husband; I won't let the police search her basement. This is about granting permission, allowing someone to do something.

4. sense_key=let%2:30:01:: | definition=cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition | synonyms=get, have | examples=He got his squad on the ball; This let me in for a big surprise. This is about causing a change of state or position, often in a more physical or resultative sense.

5. sense_key=let%2:30:00:: | definition=leave unchanged | examples=let it be. This is a specific sense, like "let it be" meaning leave it alone.

6. sense_key=let%2:40:00:: | definition=grant use or occupation of under a term of contract | synonyms=lease, rent | examples=I am leasing my country estate to some foreigners. This is about leasing/renting, obviously not relevant here.

In the context: "Let me prove it, Phil." The speaker is asking Phil to allow him to prove something. This is a request for permission, or a polite way to say "allow me to prove it". It's the imperative form "Let me" meaning "allow me" or "permit me". So it's about giving permission. That matches sense 3: consent to, give permission. The examples are "She permitted her son..." and "I won't let the police search her basement" – both involve permitting an action. "Let me prove it" is a typical imperative of permission. Sense 1 also involves allow/permit, but the gloss says "make it possible through a specific action or lack of action for something to happen" – that is more about enabling conditions, like a door allowing water to come in, not a person giving permission. Sense 2 is about actively causing something, like "let it be known", which is more deliberate causation. Sense 4 is about causing a change of state. Sense 5 is "let it be". So sense 3 is the best fit.

Thus, return {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a context: "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly. 'Yes, yes', he muttered impatiently. 'Of course it looked like an accident. I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi. Let me prove it, Phil. I think I can manage one more favor for you.'"

We need to disambiguate "prove" in the phrase "Let me prove it, Phil." The target word is "prove", surface form "prove", lemma "prove". We have nine senses from WordNet, each with definitions, synonyms, and examples.

We must choose the sense that best fits the context. Let's analyze:

The speaker is talking about setting up an accident for a customer, and he says he always makes it look like an accident and the customer has an alibi. Then he says "Let me prove it, Phil." He wants to show Phil that he can do it, presumably by doing another favor? He wants to demonstrate or establish that his method works or that he can do what he says. So "prove" here likely means to demonstrate the truth or validity of something by providing evidence or a demonstration.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "be shown or be found to be" (intransitive), synonyms: turn out, turn up. Example: She proved to be right. This is intransitive, but here "prove it" is transitive with a direct object "it", so likely not sense 1.

2. "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment" (transitive), synonyms: demonstrate, establish, show. Example: The experiment demonstrated the instability; The mathematician showed the validity of the conjecture. This fits: he wants to demonstrate or establish the validity of his claim by doing it.

3. "provide evidence for" (transitive), synonyms: testify, bear witness, evidence, show. Example: The blood test showed that he was the father; Her behavior testified to her incompetence. This is similar, but perhaps more about providing evidence rather than actively demonstrating through action. He says he can "manage one more favor", implying he will do something to prove it, so it's an active demonstration.

4. "prove formally; demonstrate by a mathematical, formal proof" — too specific, not relevant here.

5. "put to the test, as for its quality, or give experimental use to" (transitive), synonyms: test, try, try out, examine, essay. Example: Test this recipe. This would mean testing something, but he's not testing his method; he's using it to prove something to Phil. He wants to show that his claim is true, not test it.

6. "increase in volume" (intransitive) — dough rising, not applicable.

7. "cause to puff up with a leaven" (transitive) — leavening, not applicable.

8. "take a trial impression of" — printing, not applicable.

9. "obtain probate of" — legal, prove a will, not applicable.

So the main contenders are 2 and 3. Both are transitive and mean to show something is true. The distinction: sense 2 is more active demonstration/establishment, sense 3 is more about providing evidence. In the context, the speaker is offering to "manage one more favor" for Phil, which sounds like he will perform another staged accident to demonstrate his ability. So he is going to actively prove his claim by doing it. That aligns with sense 2. Sense 3 might also work, but the example sentences for sense 2 include "The mathematician showed the validity of the conjecture", which is similar in tone: showing through demonstration. The phrase "Let me prove it" often implies "let me demonstrate that what I say is true by doing something". Thus, I lean toward sense 2.

Check sense 3's examples: "The blood test showed that he was the father" – that is evidence, not necessarily an active demonstration. The speaker is not just providing evidence; he is going to do something. So sense 2 is better.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 2.
