Target lemma: hit

Context:
No, the man was not drunk He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger. But, of course, he remembered now. 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 <t>hit</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "hit" in the context: "...the man would have been <t>hit</t> if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before." The context describes a man crossing the street against the light, and a moving van roaring through the intersection. The van's brakes howled and horn blared, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't shouted to warn him. So the man would have been struck by the van. This is a physical contact event where a moving vehicle collides with a person. The relevant sense is "come into sudden contact" with something, like a vehicle hitting a pedestrian. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. cause to move by striking (e.g., hit a ball) - not a person being struck by a vehicle.
2. hit against; come into sudden contact with (synonyms: strike, impinge on, run into, collide with; examples: The car hit a tree; He struck the table with his elbow) - This fits perfectly: the van would have collided with the man.
3. deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument (e.g., He hit her hard in the face) - this typically involves intentional striking, not an accidental collision with a vehicle.
4. reach a destination (e.g., We hit Detroit by noon) - no.
5. affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely (e.g., We were hit by really bad weather) - that is more metaphorical, not a physical collision.
6. hit with a missile from a weapon - no weapon involved.
7. encounter by chance - not relevant.
8. gain points in a game - no.
9. cause to experience suddenly (e.g., An interesting idea hit her) - metaphorical.
10. make a strategic, offensive assault against an enemy - no.
11. kill intentionally - no.
12. drive something violently into a location (e.g., he hit his fist on the table; she struck her head on the low ceiling) - this is more about a person hitting a body part against something, not being hit by a vehicle.
13. reach a point in time or state - no.
14. produce by manipulating keys/strings - no.
15. consume to excess - no.
16. hit the intended target or goal - no.
17. pay unsolicited sexual attention to - no.

Clearly sense 2 is the best: "hit against; come into sudden contact with" with the example "The car hit a tree" mirrors the context: a van would have hit the man.

Thus, the answer is sense index 2.

reasoning_content:
We need to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "called out" in the given context. The target lemma is call_out, and the surface form is "called out". The context: "No, the man was not drunk He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger. But, of course, he remembered now. 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 <t>called out</t> to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment."

We need to choose among three candidate senses:
1. sense_key=call_out%2:32:01:: | definition=utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy | synonyms=exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, shout | examples=`I won!' he exclaimed; `Help!' she cried
2. sense_key=call_out%2:32:00:: | definition=call out loudly, as of names or numbers
3. sense_key=call_out%2:32:12:: | definition=challenge to a duel | examples=Aaron Burr called out Alexander Hamilton

The context: Phil "called out" to him a second before he would have been hit. The shout was involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking. So it's simply shouting to alert someone. The first sense is "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" with synonyms like exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, shout. The example: "I won!" he exclaimed; "Help!" she cried. That sense involves expressing emotional content, but here the call is to warn someone. The second sense: "call out loudly, as of names or numbers" might be like calling out a name or number loudly. Here, Phil "called out" to the stranger, probably just shouting a warning like "Watch out!" or something. The context doesn't specify what he said, just that he called out to him. It could be a shout of warning, which might fit the first sense if it involves uttering aloud with surprise/horror (he was surprised by the danger). But the first sense explicitly mentions surprise, horror, or joy, and the examples are exact words spoken. The second sense is just calling out loudly, as of names or numbers. That seems more like a general shout to get attention, not necessarily with emotional content. However, the context says "His shout had been involuntary", so it's not like calling out a name or number; it's just shouting. The first sense includes "shout" as a synonym, and it emphasizes the act of uttering aloud with emotion. Warning someone could be a cry of alarm. I think the first sense is most appropriate because it's about uttering aloud with surprise/horror/joy; here, it was horror (he saw the man about to be hit) and he shouted involuntarily. The second sense is more like calling out names or numbers in a loud voice, but it doesn't capture the spontaneous exclamation. The third sense is clearly wrong: challenge to a duel.

Thus, the best sense is sense 1. But let's check WordNet: sense 1 is "call_out%2:32:01::" which is "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy". The context: Phil called out to him, and it was a shout, involuntary. So it fits.

We must output JSON with single sense_index. So {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "second" in the given context. The target surface form is "second". The context: "...if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before." The phrase is "a second before", meaning a brief moment before. Let's review the senses:

1. 1/60 of a minute (time unit)
2. an indefinitely short time (moment, bit) with examples: wait just a moment; in a mo
3. fielding position in baseball
4. a particular point in time (moment, instant) with example: the moment he arrived the party began
5. following the first in ordering or series (noun)
6. a 60th part of a minute of arc (arcsecond)
7. official attendant in duel/boxing
8. speech seconding a motion
9. second gear
10. irregular merchandise

In context: "called out to him a second before." That means a very short time before. It doesn't refer to a precise unit of time (sense 1) but rather an indefinite short duration. Sense 2: "an indefinitely short time" with synonyms moment, mo, minute, bit. That fits perfectly. Sense 4: "a particular point in time" is similar but more about a specific instant (like "the moment he arrived"). Here, "a second before" means a brief time prior, not a specific point in time but a duration. Sense 2 is the best match because it emphasizes short duration, often used informally. The synonyms: moment, bit. Example: "wait just a moment" – similar usage.

Thus, the correct sense index is 2.

Now, output JSON: {"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 a context sentence with "done" appearing as part of "something anybody might have done without thinking". The target lemma is "do", surface form "done". The context: Phil shouted involuntarily to warn a stranger about to be hit by a moving van. His shout was involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. So "done" here means performed (an action), specifically the action of shouting to warn someone. Among the candidate senses, sense 2 seems most fitting: "carry out or perform an action" with synonyms perform, execute, examples like "John did the painting...". That matches the idea of doing an action (shouting). Sense 3 is "get (something) done" but that typically implies completing a task, like "did my job". Sense 1 is "engage in" (like make love, make an effort) which might fit but "make an effort" is a bit different. Sense 2 is more general. Sense 5 is "cause to happen", but the shout didn't cause the event, it was the action itself. So sense 2 is best.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for "cared" in the given context. The target is "cared", lemma "care". The context: "As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have <t>cared</t> at all if the guy had been hit." So Phil didn't care if the stranger got hit by the van. The meaning is about lacking concern or interest. Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=care%2:37:02:: | definition=feel concern or interest | examples=I really care about my work; I don't care. This fits: "he wouldn't have cared at all" means he wouldn't have felt concern. Example: "I don't care" matches exactly.

2. sense_key=care%2:41:13:: | definition=provide care for | synonyms=give care | examples=The nurse was caring for the wounded. This is about providing physical care, not applicable here.

3. sense_key=care%2:37:00:: | definition=prefer or wish to do something | synonyms=wish, like | examples=Do you care to try this dish?; Would you like to come along to the movies? This is about preference or willingness, e.g., "Do you care for some tea?" Not the meaning here.

4. sense_key=care%2:41:11:: | definition=be in charge of, act on, or dispose of | synonyms=manage, deal, handle. Not relevant.

5. sense_key=care%2:37:12:: | definition=be concerned with | synonyms=worry | examples=I worry about my grades. This is similar to sense 1 but with a nuance of worrying. However, the canonical "I don't care" is sense 1. The context "he wouldn't have cared at all" strongly matches the "feel concern or interest" definition, and the example "I don't care" is given.

Thus, sense_index 1 is correct.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "guy" in the given context. The word appears as "guy" in the sentence: "As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit." The context describes a situation where a stranger nearly gets hit by a truck, and the character Phil involuntarily shouted to warn him. The target word "guy" refers to that stranger.

We have three candidate senses:
1. an informal term for a youth or man (e.g., "a nice guy")
2. an effigy of Guy Fawkes
3. a cable, wire, or rope used to brace something

The context clearly uses "guy" to refer to a person, the stranger. Sense 1 is the informal term for a man. Sense 2 is about a specific effigy, not relevant. Sense 3 is about a rope, not relevant. Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

We must return a JSON object with the sense_index as a number. So: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "hit" in a context. The context: A man named Phil sees a stranger about to be hit by a moving van. He shouts involuntarily, but then reflects that he wouldn't have cared if the guy had been hit. Specifically, the phrase: "As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been <t>hit</t>." So here, "hit" refers to the van striking the pedestrian. The meaning is about a vehicle hitting a person, i.e., coming into sudden contact, colliding with. The candidate senses:

1. sense_key=hit%2:35:03:: | definition=cause to move by striking | examples=hit a ball → This is about hitting something to cause it to move, like a ball. Not a collision with a person by a vehicle.
2. sense_key=hit%2:35:01:: | definition=hit against; come into sudden contact with | synonyms=strike, impinge on, run into, collide with | examples=The car hit a tree; He struck the table with his elbow → This fits: the van would have hit the man (come into contact, collide). The example "The car hit a tree" is very similar.
3. sense_key=hit%2:35:00:: | definition=deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument | examples=He hit her hard in the face → This is about intentionally striking someone, not an accidental vehicle collision.
4. sense_key=hit%2:38:00:: | definition=reach a destination | examples=We hit Detroit by noon → Not about collision.
5. sense_key=hit%2:35:05:: | definition=affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely | synonyms=strike | examples=We were hit by really bad weather → This is metaphorical, not literal physical collision.
6. sense_key=hit%2:33:01:: | definition=hit with a missile from a weapon | examples=shoot, pip → Not about a van.
7. sense_key=hit%2:40:05:: | definition=encounter by chance | examples=I stumbled across a long-lost cousin → Not about physical contact.
8. sense_key=hit%2:33:02:: | definition=gain points in a game | examples=score → Not applicable.
9. sense_key=hit%2:39:00:: | definition=cause to experience suddenly | examples=Panic struck me → Metaphorical.
10. sense_key=hit%2:33:00:: | definition=make a strategic, offensive assault | examples=Germans struck Poland → War context.
11. sense_key=hit%2:41:00:: | definition=kill intentionally | examples=murder → Not accidental van hit.
12. sense_key=hit%2:38:02:: | definition=drive something violently into a location | examples=he hit his fist on the table; she struck her head on the low ceiling → That's about a person hitting something with a body part, not a vehicle hitting a person.
13. sense_key=hit%2:38:07:: | definition=reach a point in time, or a certain state or level | examples=The thermometer hit 100 degrees → Not collision.
14. sense_key=hit%2:35:02:: | definition=produce by manipulating keys or strings of musical instruments | examples=strike a middle C → Not.
15. sense_key=hit%2:34:00:: | definition=consume to excess | examples=hit the bottle → Not.
16. sense_key=hit%2:33:03:: | definition=hit the intended target or goal → Could be a projectile hitting a target, but here it's a vehicle striking a pedestrian. Closer to sense 2.
17. sense_key=hit%2:32:12:: | definition=pay unsolicited and usually unwanted sexual attention to | examples=hit on women → Not.

Sense 2 is clearly the best: "hit against; come into sudden contact with" with synonyms like collide with. The example "The car hit a tree" directly matches the scenario of a vehicle hitting a person. So I'll select sense_index 2.

Target lemma: regret
Target surface form: regretted
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 <t>regretted</t> 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.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "regretted" in context. The target lemma is "regret". We have four candidate senses, indexed 1-4. The context: Phil shouted to warn a stranger about a moving van, but after the driver stops and jumps down angrily, the stranger thanks Haney (Phil? It says "Phil" then "Haney" - maybe Phil Haney?) and Phil regrets having opened his mouth. That is, he feels sorry or remorseful about having shouted because it led to an angry driver and an awkward situation. So the sense is definitely about feeling remorse, not about feeling sad about loss, or declining formally, or expressing regret. Sense 1: "feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about" with synonyms "repent, rue." Sense 2: "feel sad about the loss or absence of" — that doesn't fit; there's no loss. Sense 3: "decline formally or politely" — example: "I regret I can't come to the party." Not at all. Sense 4: "express with regret" — example: "I regret to say that you did not gain admission to Harvard." That is performative, expressing regret. In the context, Phil is not expressing regret to someone; he internally feels regret. The phrase "regretted having opened his mouth" is about feeling remorse for a past action. So Sense 1 is clearly the best.

Thus, the answer is sense index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the context: "He regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop..." The phrase "opened his mouth" is idiomatic, meaning to speak, but let's look at the senses.

Sense 1: cause to open or to become open, e.g., "Mary opened the car door." This fits literal opening of something like a mouth. However, "opened his mouth" here is more about speaking, but the literal act is opening the mouth to speak. But note that the example "Mary opened the car door" is about opening an object. Opening one's mouth is a physical action, but the context is about regretting having said something. So it's metaphorical to speaking, but the verb is still "open" applied to "mouth". Does any other sense fit better?

Sense 3: become open, e.g., "The door opened." That is intransitive. Here "opened" is transitive: "having opened his mouth". So not intransitive.

Sense 2: start to operate or function, e.g., open a business. No.

Sense 4: begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, etc. Example: "He opened the meeting with a long speech." Could "open his mouth" mean begin a speech? Not exactly.

Sense 5: spread out or open from a closed or folded state. Example: "open the map; spread your arms." Opening mouth could be seen as spreading lips, but it's not the typical usage.

Sense 6: make available. No.

Sense 7: become available. No.

Sense 8: have an opening or passage. No.

Sense 9: make the opening move, like in chess. No.

Sense 10: afford access to. Example: "the door opens to the patio." No.

Sense 11: display contents of a file. No.

Given that "opened his mouth" is a phrase meaning to speak, but literally he opened his mouth. The regret is about having spoken. Which sense corresponds to literal opening of a bodily part? Sense 1: "cause to open or to become open" includes opening a door, etc. The definition doesn't mention mouths specifically, but it's the general transitive sense of causing something to open. Also, synonyms "open up". Sense 3 is intransitive, so not correct. So sense 1 is the best fit for the literal action of opening his mouth. But maybe they consider "open one's mouth" as an idiom for speaking, and perhaps there's a sense for starting to operate? Not really.

Let's check the candidate senses carefully. The index for sense 1 is 1, sense 3 is 3. The answer should be 1, but let's see if there's any other nuance. The context: "he regretted having opened his mouth" is clearly about speaking out. However, WordNet might classify this under sense 1 because the object is a body part being opened. There's no dedicated sense for "open one's mouth" to speak. So sense 1 is the most direct.

Thus, sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content: We are given a sentence: "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." The target word is "mouth". We need to choose the best sense from the list. Let's analyze the context. The phrase "opened his mouth" typically refers to speaking, not physically opening the oral cavity. In the context, Phil shouted to warn the stranger, so he spoke. Regretting having opened his mouth means he regrets speaking up. Among the senses, sense 1 is about the physical opening for food and speech. Sense 2 is the externally visible part. Sense 3 is a metaphorical opening like a cave. Sense 4 is a river mouth. Sense 5 is a person as a consumer. Sense 6 is a spokesperson. Sense 7 is an impudent rejoinder (like backtalk). Sense 8 is the opening of a container. The phrase "opened his mouth" is an idiom for speaking, but the word "mouth" here is still the physical mouth, used in the idiom. However, the senses include definition for sense 1: "the opening through which food is taken in and vocalizations emerge". That specifically includes vocalizations. The example: "he stuffed his mouth with candy" is for eating, but the definition covers speech. Sense 2 is only externally visible part, not the opening for speech. Sense 1 seems most appropriate. Also, note that sense 7 "an impudent or insolent rejoinder" might be relevant if the speech was sassy, but here it was an involuntary shout to warn, not insolent. So sense 1 is the best. Return {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the word "truck" in the given context. We have two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=truck%1:06:00:: | definition=an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling | synonyms=motortruck
2. sense_key=truck%1:06:01:: | definition=a handcart that has a frame with two low wheels and a ledge at the bottom and handles at the top; used to move crates or other heavy objects | synonyms=hand truck

The context: The text describes a "huge moving van" roaring through an intersection. Then it says "when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab". This clearly refers to the motor vehicle, not a handcart. The description "moving van" and "driver jumped down from the cab" indicates a large automotive vehicle. Sense 1 matches this. Sense 2 is a hand truck, which is a small manual cart, not something that would have a driver in a cab. So sense 1 is correct.

We need to output JSON: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "stop" (surface form "stop") in a context: "the truck came to a stop". We need to choose from 11 candidate senses.

Let's analyze the context: "the truck came to a stop". This is a vehicle (truck) coming to a halt. The phrase "came to a stop" means the truck ceased moving. Look 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 matches exactly: "it came to a stop" (in the example) and the context is "the truck came to a stop". The definition is "the event of something ending" and synonym "halt". This is clearly the sense where a motion stops.

2. sense_key=stop%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of stopping something | synonyms=stoppage | examples=the third baseman made some remarkable stops; his stoppage of the flow resulted in a flood. This is about an agent stopping something, not a vehicle coming to a stop.

3. sense_key=stop%1:04:02:: | definition=a brief stay in the course of a journey | synonyms=stopover, layover | examples=they made a stopover to visit their friends. This is about a stop during a journey, like a layover. The truck coming to a stop is not a journey stopover, it's an abrupt halt.

4. sense_key=stop%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of inactivity following an interruption | synonyms=arrest, check, halt, hitch, stay, stoppage | examples=the negotiations were in arrest; held them in check. This is more about a state of being stopped, but the phrase "came to a stop" is about the event of stopping, not a state. Also the example "the negotiations were in arrest" doesn't fit.

5. sense_key=stop%1:15:00:: | definition=a spot where something halts or pauses | examples=his next stop is Atlanta. This is a location where stopping occurs, like a bus stop. The truck came to a stop is not a designated spot.

6. sense_key=stop%1:10:00:: | definition=a consonant produced by stopping the flow of air... not relevant.

7. sense_key=stop%1:10:01:: | definition=a punctuation mark (.) ... not relevant.

8. sense_key=stop%1:06:03:: | definition=(music) a knob on an organ... not relevant.

9. sense_key=stop%1:06:02:: | definition=a mechanical device in a camera... not relevant.

10. sense_key=stop%1:06:00:: | definition=a restraint that checks the motion of something | synonyms=catch | examples=he used a book as a stop to hold the door open. This is a physical object used to stop something. The truck came to a stop doesn't refer to a physical object.

11. sense_key=stop%1:06:01:: | definition=an obstruction in a pipe or tube... not relevant.

The best match is sense 1: "the event of something ending", with synonym "halt", and example "it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill". The context is "the truck came to a stop", which is exactly the same construction. So sense index 1.

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

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."

We need to disambiguate "angry" in "the angry driver". The driver is the driver of the moving van, who had to brake and honk furiously. So the driver is angry (feeling or showing anger). That matches sense 1: feeling or showing anger. The examples: angry customers. An angry driver is a person feeling anger.

Sense 2: (of the elements) as if showing violent anger. This is for natural forces like winds, clouds, etc. The driver is not an element. So sense 2 is not appropriate.

Sense 3: severely inflamed and painful, e.g., an angry sore. Not applicable to a person/driver.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 1.

We return {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are tasked with performing Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "driver" in the given context. We need to choose the best sense from the provided candidate senses. Let's analyze the context.

Context summary: A man named Phil is at a bar, drinking. He recalls an event where a stranger almost gets hit by a moving van. Phil shouted to warn the stranger. The van stops, and the angry driver jumps down from the cab and walks toward them. So, "driver" here clearly refers to the person operating the moving van (a truck). It's the operator of a motor vehicle.

Now, let's check the candidate senses:
1. driver%1:18:00:: | definition=the operator of a motor vehicle → This fits perfectly: the driver of the moving van.
2. driver%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who drives animals that pull a vehicle → Not relevant; no animals.
3. driver%1:18:01:: | definition=a golfer who hits the golf ball with a driver → Golf context, not this.
4. driver%1:10:00:: | definition=(computer science) a program... → Obviously not.
5. driver%1:06:00:: | definition=a golf club... → Golf club, not this.

Only sense 1 makes sense. So the answer is sense index 1.

Return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to perform fine-grained Word Sense Disambiguation for the lemma "jump" with surface form "jumped" in the given context. We need to choose the best indexed sense from the candidate list (15 senses). We must return only a JSON object with the sense_index.

Let's analyze the 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 mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver <t>jumped</t> 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."

The key phrase: "the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

The driver is getting off the truck's cab. The action "jumped down" suggests moving from a higher point (the cab) to the ground. The preposition "down" is a strong clue. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. move forward by leaps and bounds: generic jumping, but not specifically down from a height.
2. move or jump suddenly, as if in surprise or alarm: could be a startle reaction, but the driver is angry, not necessarily surprised. The phrase "jumped down from the cab" suggests a deliberate action of getting out.
3. make a sudden physical attack on: no attack here.
4. increase suddenly: not applicable.
5. be highly noticeable: not applicable.
6. enter eagerly into: not applicable.
7. rise in rank or status: not applicable.
8. jump down from an elevated point: synonyms: leap, jump off. Examples: "the parachutist didn't want to jump; every year, hundreds of people jump off the Golden Gate bridge". This specifically includes "jump down" as part of the gloss. The driver jumps down from the cab, which is an elevated point. This seems very fitting.
9. run off or leave the rails: not applicable.
10. jump from an airplane with a parachute: not applicable.
11. cause to jump: not applicable.
12. jumpstart: not applicable.
13. bypass: not applicable.
14. pass abruptly from one state or topic to another: not applicable.
15. alternate: not applicable.

Sense 8 is explicitly "jump down from an elevated point" and includes the synonym "jump off". The context says "jumped down from the cab", which perfectly matches this sense. Sense 1 is more general, but sense 8 is more specific and directly matches the preposition "down". Even without the word "down" in the target, the context has "jumped down", so the down is part of the phrase. The indexing uses the word "jumped" alone, but the context clearly includes "down". In WordNet, the sense "jump%2:38:11::" is defined as "jump down from an elevated point". So it's the best match.

Thus, the answer is sense_index 8.

Now, output JSON: {"sense_index": 8}

reasoning_content: We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the lemma "cab" with the target surface form "cab" in the given context. The context is: "the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them." The driver is of a "huge moving van" that had to brake and honk. So the driver jumps down from the cab of the moving van. A moving van is a truck, so the "cab" here refers to the compartment where the driver sits in a vehicle. That matches sense 1: "a compartment at the front of a motor vehicle or locomotive where driver sits." Sense 2 is a horse-drawn carriage that is unlikely in this modern context. Sense 3 is a taxi, which doesn't fit a moving van driver. So the best sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are going to disambiguate the word "walked" in the given context. The sentence is: "the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them." The driver is on foot after jumping down from the truck cab, moving back toward the people. The sense must be the basic sense of moving on foot. Let's check candidate senses:

1. sense_key=walk%2:38:00:: | definition=use one's feet to advance; advance by steps | examples=Walk, don't run!; We walked instead of driving. This fits: the driver is advancing on foot toward them.

2. sense_key=walk%2:38:01:: | definition=accompany or escort | examples=I'll walk you to your car. This implies walking with someone, not the case here. The driver is walking alone back toward them, not escorting.

3. sense_key=walk%2:33:00:: | definition=obtain a base on balls (baseball). Not relevant.

4. sense_key=walk%2:38:03:: | definition=traverse or cover by walking | examples=Walk the tightrope; Paul walked the streets of Damascus. This sense often has a direct object, like walk the streets, walk a path. Here it's "walked back toward them," no direct object, just direction.

5. sense_key=walk%2:33:01:: | definition=give a base on balls to. Not relevant.

6. sense_key=walk%2:41:00:: | definition=live or behave in a specified manner | examples=walk in sadness. Not relevant.

7. sense_key=walk%2:41:01:: | definition=be or act in association with | examples=We must walk with our dispossessed brothers and sisters; Walk with God. Not relevant.

8. sense_key=walk%2:38:02:: | definition=walk at a pace | examples=The horses walked across the meadow. This is about a specific gait (walk vs trot etc). Not applicable unless specifying pace, unlikely for an angry driver. He just walked.

9. sense_key=walk%2:38:05:: | definition=make walk | examples=He walks the horse up the mountain; Walk the dog twice a day. This is transitive, to cause someone/something to walk. Not the case.

10. sense_key=walk%2:38:04:: | definition=take a walk; go for a walk; walk for pleasure | synonyms=take the air | examples=The lovers held hands while walking; We like to walk every Sunday. This implies leisurely walking for pleasure. The driver is angry, going back to confront someone, not a pleasure walk.

Thus, the most appropriate is sense 1: the general sense of using one's feet to advance. Sense 8 (walk at a pace) is more specific about gait, but the example "horses walked across the meadow" refers to the horse's gait, not human. Sense 4 is transitive; sense 10 is for pleasure. So sense 1 fits best.

Therefore, the index is 1. Output JSON as requested.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "stranger" and its surface form "stranger". The context is provided. We need to choose between two senses:

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

The context: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street ... Phil called out ... By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely ..." The stranger is the person who was about to be hit. Phil doesn't know him? The text says: "something anybody might have done without thinking ... he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth ..." So Phil doesn't know this person. The stranger is just some guy on the street. The sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with" seems appropriate. The sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment" might imply an alien or outsider. But here, the person is just unknown to them, not necessarily out of place. The context doesn't indicate he's an alien or doesn't belong; he's just a pedestrian crossing the street, and Phil doesn't know him. So sense 2 is more fitting.

Thus, we choose sense_index 2.

Context: "... the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one <t>arm</t> around his shoulders as if he were an old friend." So clearly, the stranger put one arm around Haney's shoulders. That is a human limb. The sense 1 is: "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". That fits perfectly. None of the other senses are plausible: it's not a projection (sense 2), not a weapon (3), not part of furniture (4), not a division of an organization (5), not a sleeve (6). So the best sense is sense 1. We return JSON with {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "shoulders" in the given context. The target surface form is "shoulders". The context: "By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his <t>shoulders</t> as if he were an old friend."

The word "shoulders" here is part of the phrase "had one arm around his shoulders." This clearly refers to a part of the human body. The sense definitions:
1. body part between neck and upper arm.
2. cut of meat.
3. ball-and-socket joint (anatomical joint).
4. part of a garment.
5. narrow edge of land along road.

In the context, the stranger puts his arm around Haney's shoulders, a common gesture of friendship. This refers to the body part, so sense 1 is the best fit. Sense 3 is more specific to the joint, but "shoulders" here is the general area, not specifically the joint. The phrase "arm around his shoulders" uses the plural "shoulders" to refer to the upper back/arm area. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are given: Target lemma: old, surface form: old. Context: "...as if he were an <t>old</t> friend." The phrase is "old friend". We need to choose the best sense from the given candidates.

Let's examine the context: The stranger is thanking Haney profusely and has an arm around his shoulders "as if he were an old friend". Meaning a friend of long standing, a familiar friend, not a new friend. The word "old" modifies "friend" and indicates a longstanding relationship, implying familiarity and prior acquaintance, even if faked in this context.

Now check the candidate senses:

1. (used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age: e.g., his mother is very old; a ripe old age. This sense is about age of a person. "old friend" could mean a friend who is elderly in age. But in this context, "old friend" more likely means a friend of long duration, not necessarily aged. The phrase "as if he were an old friend" typically means a friend from the past, a longtime friend.

2. of long duration; not new: e.g., old tradition; old house. This can apply to "old friend" meaning a friendship of long duration.

3. (used for emphasis) very familiar: e.g., good old boy; same old story. This emphasizes familiarity. "old friend" might be a familiar friend, but this sense is specifically for emphasis like "good old boy". The example "same old story" shows a familiar, repeated thing. "Good old boy" is an idiom. The phrase "old friend" could fit "very familiar", but note that sense 3 is tagged as "familiar" and the example "good old boy" suggests an idiomatic, emphatic use. But "old friend" can simply mean a longtime friend, not just familiar.

4. skilled through long experience: e.g., an old offender; the older soldiers. Doesn't fit "friend".

5. belonging to some prior time: synonyms: erstwhile, former, onetime, quondam, sometime. e.g., erstwhile friend. This means former friend, someone who was a friend but no longer is. In the context, the stranger is acting as if he were an old friend, meaning a friend from the past, possibly a former friend? But typically "old friend" means a friend of long standing, not necessarily a former friend. Sense 5 says "belonging to some prior time" and synonyms include "erstwhile, former". That would mean "Old friend" = "former friend". But in the sentence, the stranger is pretending to be a friend, acting overly familiar. If it were "former friend", that might imply they were friends before but not anymore. However, the context: "thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend." This suggests a display of camaraderie as if they have been friends for a long time. It's about the depth of the friendship, not that it's in the past. Sense 5 emphasizes "belonging to some prior time, former", which changes the meaning: an "old friend" in sense 5 would be a friend from the past, maybe no longer a friend. That's a possible reading, but less likely given the typical phrase "old friend" meaning long-time friend.

6. (used informally especially for emphasis) genuine: e.g., a real honest-to-god live cowboy; had us a high old time. This sense is about genuine, real, used for emphasis. "high old time" might be an idiom. Not fitting for "old friend".

7. early stage in development: e.g., Old English, Old High German. Not applicable.

8. just preceding something else in time or order: e.g., the previous owner; my old house was larger. This means previous, former. For "old friend", this could mean "previous friend", i.e., the friend you had before, perhaps the former friend. Similar to sense 5 but here it's "preceding in time or order". For example, "my old house" means the house I used to live in. So "old friend" might mean the friend I used to have. But again, the phrase "old friend" usually means a friend of long standing, not necessarily previous.

Among these, the most appropriate sense is 2: of long duration; not new. "old friend" = a friend of long duration. Also, sense 3 "very familiar" might compete, but sense 3 is for emphasis, and the examples "good old boy", "same old story" indicate a specific type of emphasis, while "old friend" is a straightforward modifier. Sense 2 has example "old tradition; old house", and "old friend" fits that pattern. So 2 seems best.

But let's check WordNet itself. In WordNet, "old" has multiple adjective senses. For "old friend", the usual mapping is to sense 2: "of long duration; not new." Indeed, WordNet synset: old%3:00:01:: of long duration; not new; "old tradition"; "old house"; "old wine"; "old country"; "old friendships"; "old money". The examples include "old friendships", so "old friend" would be there. So sense 2.

Now, the instructions say: "WordNet glosses are schematic. Use the sentence context, the examples, and the synonyms to choose the best indexed sense. Do not hedge. Choose the single best indexed sense."

Thus, I pick sense index 2.

The JSON output should be exactly {"sense_index": 2}.

Target lemma: friend
Target surface form: friend
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 arm around his shoulders as if he were an old <t>friend</t>. 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 asked to choose the best sense for "friend" in the given context. The context describes a scene where a stranger thanks Haney profusely and has one arm around his shoulders "as if he were an old friend." The candidate senses:

1. a person you know well and regard with affection and trust (best friend)
2. an associate who provides cooperation or assistance (ally)
3. a person with whom you are acquainted (acquaintance)
4. a person who backs a politician or a team etc. (supporter)
5. Quaker

In the context, the stranger is acting as if Haney were an old friend, meaning a close, familiar person, even though they just met. The phrase "old friend" typically implies sense 1: a person you know well and regard with affection and trust. Sense 3 (acquaintance) might be too weak for "old friend"; an old friend is more than just an acquaintance. Sense 2 (ally) doesn't fit the emotional display of an arm around the shoulders. Thus, sense 1 is the best fit.

But let's double-check: The stranger is pretending to be an old friend, so the sense is about a close, trusted friend, not just an acquaintance or ally. So I'll choose sense 1.
