reasoning_content:
We are given a target word "wish" with surface form "wished" in context. The context: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

We need to choose the best indexed sense among the candidates. Let's examine the sentence: "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

Here, "wished" is followed by a clause "the stranger could do something about her". This is a desire or hope for something that is not currently the case. It's a wish about a hypothetical situation. The structure: "wished (that) the stranger could do something..." It expresses a desire.

Now look at candidate senses:
1. hope for; have a wish. Example: "I wish I could go home now" – That example is exactly the structure "wish + clause" expressing a desire for something that is not true. This matches the context.
2. prefer or wish to do something. Synonyms: care, like. Examples: "Do you care to try this dish?"; "Would you like to come along?" This is about expressing a preference or desire to do something, often with "to" infinitive. Not the same as wishing a clause.
3. make or express a wish. Example: "I wish that Christmas were over" – Again, expressing a wish about a situation. Similar to sense 1. But let's see the difference: sense 1 definition: hope for; have a wish. Sense 3: make or express a wish. The example for sense 3 is "I wish that Christmas were over", which also has a clause. There might be a subtle distinction. Sense 1 is more about the mental act of hoping, while sense 3 is about expressing that wish. However, WordNet often groups these. Check the context: "he wished the stranger could do something..." It is a mental wish, not necessarily an expressed wish. The sentence says "Haney mailed ... and wished the stranger could do something..." It seems internal. He wished (thought/hoped) that the stranger could do something. That aligns with sense 1: hope for; have a wish. Sense 3: make or express a wish. If he expressed it, it would be like telling someone "I wish...", but here it's just in his mind. So sense 1 is more likely.

4. feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of (wish well). This is more like wishing someone well, not a clause.
5. order politely; express a wish for. That might be like requesting something.
6. invoke upon; bid. Example: "wish you a nice evening". That's like "I wish you a nice evening" – a direct object, not a clause.

Given the structure "wished (that) clause", senses 1 and 3 both fit. But sense 1's example "I wish I could go home now" is exactly the same structure. Sense 3's example is "I wish that Christmas were over". The difference is that sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish", which is more internal, while sense 3 is "make or express a wish", which could be either. In the context, he is not necessarily expressing it aloud; he just wished it. The phrase "and wished the stranger could do something" is likely a thought. So sense 1 is more appropriate.

Let's check if there's any other clue. The target word is "wished". In the sentence, it's in past tense. Both senses 1 and 3 can be used that way. But often WordNet distinguishes between the mental state (wish%2:37:00) and the act of expressing (wish%2:32:02). Sense 1 is from the verb class 37? Actually, the sense keys: wish%2:37:00, wish%2:37:02, wish%2:32:02, etc. The numbers after % are the verb class. 37 might be for verbs of mental state? 32 might be for verbs of communication? Let's see: sense 1: wish%2:37:00 – that's likely the mental state verb. Sense 3: wish%2:32:02 – that might be communication verb. So sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish", which is mental; sense 3 is "make or express a wish", which is communication. In our context, the character is thinking, not speaking. So sense

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the lemma "wish" and surface form "wished" in the given context. The target sentence is: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

We need to determine the sense in which "wished" is used here.

Let's analyze the context. The sentence fragment: "... and wished the stranger could do something about her" – it seems like Haney is expressing a desire or hope that the stranger could do something about his wife. The structure "wished that..." suggests a desire for a situation that is not currently true. It's like "I wish I could go home" type of construction.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=wish%2:37:00:: | definition=hope for; have a wish | examples=I wish I could go home now
2. sense_key=wish%2:37:02:: | definition=prefer or wish to do something | synonyms=care, like | examples=Do you care to try this dish?; Would you like to come along to the movies?
3. sense_key=wish%2:32:02:: | definition=make or express a wish | examples=I wish that Christmas were over
4. sense_key=wish%2:37:01:: | definition=feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of | synonyms=wish well
5. sense_key=wish%2:32:01:: | definition=order politely; express a wish for
6. sense_key=wish%2:32:00:: | definition=invoke upon | synonyms=bid | examples=wish you a nice evening; bid farewell

In the context, "wished the stranger could do something about her" – this is clearly a wish about an unreal situation. Haney is hoping that the stranger could do something, but it's not possible. This matches sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" with example "I wish I could go home now". Sense 3 is "make or express a wish" with example "I wish that Christmas were over", which is similar. But note: sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish" (Verb, 37:00), while sense 3 is "make or express a wish" (Verb, 32:02). In WordNet, these are slightly different: one is the mental state of wishing, the other is the act of expressing that wish. The context says "he mailed the check ... and wished the stranger could do something about her". It could be interpreted as he thought to himself (mental wish) or he expressed it (maybe said to himself). Without explicit speech, it's likely an internal thought. However, both senses are close. Looking at the example for sense 1: "I wish I could go home now" – this is exactly the same structure: wish + past tense modal "could" to express an unreal desire. Sense 3 example: "I wish that Christmas were over" is also similar, but note that sense 3 is "make or express a wish", which might imply verbal expression. The definition says "make or express a wish", so it's more about the act of saying it. Since this is a narrative, "he wished" could just be his internal desire, not necessarily an expression. The definition "hope for; have a wish" in sense 1 seems more about the internal state.

Sense 2: prefer or wish to do something (e.g., "Do you care to try this dish?") – that's different, it's about willingness or preference, not a counterfactual wish.

Sense 4: feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of (wish well) – like "I wish you well". That's not a clause wish about something impossible, it's about wishing someone success.

Sense 5: order politely; express a wish for – e.g., "I wish to see the manager" – that's a polite request.

Sense 6: invoke upon (bid) – e.g., "wish you a nice evening" – a greeting or farewell.

In this context, "wished the stranger could do something" is clearly the unreal desire, like "I wish I could fly". Both senses 1 and 3 could fit. But the examples: Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now" exactly parallels "he wished the stranger could do something". Sense 3: "I wish that Christmas were over" also has a similar construction. However, many WordNet distinctions between 37:00 and 32:02 might be that 37:00 is the intransitive mental state, while 32:02 is more about expressing a wish. In many contexts, they merge. But we need to choose the best one. Looking at the definitions: sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" – this is a stative verb, just having the wish. Sense 3: "make or express a wish" – implies uttering. The text says "he mailed the check ... and wished the stranger could do something". It doesn't say he said it aloud; it's likely an internal thought. So sense 1 might be more appropriate. Additionally, note that in the Princeton WordNet, the verb frame for sense 1 might be "Somebody ----s that CLAUSE" (like "I wish that I could go"). Sense 3 might also have that frame. However, the example for sense 3 is "I wish that Christmas were over" which is also a that-clause. But the distinction is subtle.

I recall that WordNet has a set of senses for "wish" as a verb:
- wish%2:37:00:: (desire, want) "hope for; have a wish"
- wish%2:37:02:: (like, care) "prefer or wish to do something"
- wish%2:37:01:: (wish well) "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of"
- wish%2:32:00:: (bid) "invoke upon"
- wish%2:32:01:: "order politely; express a wish for"
- wish%2:32:02:: (make a wish) "make or express a wish"

Often, sense 1 is the most common for counterfactual desires. Sense 3 is explicitly "make or express a wish", like when you blow out candles and make a wish. The example "I wish that Christmas were over" is not necessarily a spoken wish; it could be a thought. But the definition says "make or express", which might lean toward uttering. In many WSD tasks, the counterfactual wish with "could" is assigned to sense 1. I'll check if there's any other clue: the target is "wished", past tense. Haney is thinking to himself about the stranger. The narrative doesn't indicate any speaking. So I think sense 1 is the best.

Thus, I'll select sense 1.

So the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to disambiguate "stranger" in the given context. The target surface form is "stranger", and it appears in: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

Wait, the full context: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building." But the sentence might be: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her." There's a period after "her" and then "Coming home from work..." but the target "stranger" is in the middle. The sentence: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her." So the "stranger" here is clearly the person referred to earlier as "the weirdy" and "the surly landlord"? Let's look at the context: "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her" So the characters: Phil and Haney? Actually, earlier it says "Phil shrugged and ignored him." Then "He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive." Then suddenly "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check..." So Haney is likely another character, or perhaps the same person? The narrative seems to shift. But the "stranger" here likely refers to the "weirdy" or the "landlord"? Or maybe it's a different stranger? The character wishes the stranger could do something about his wife Lolly. So he's thinking about a stranger he encountered. The conversation with the weirdy was about something that caused a hangover? He remembered the conversation and groaned. He passed the surly landlord. Then on Thursday, Haney mailed a check to his wife and wished the stranger could do something about her. So the "stranger" might be the weirdy he talked to. That weirdy is a "stranger" in the sense of an unknown person. Or it could be the landlord? But the landlord is described as "surly" and a constant presence, so he's not a stranger. The weirdy is probably a stranger he had a conversation with. So the sense is likely "an individual that one is not acquainted with" (sense 2), because it's a specific person he talked to but doesn't know well. Sense 1 is "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" (alien, unknown). That could also fit if the weirdy was out of place. But the context: "his conversation with the weirdy" - weirdy is a weird person, but not necessarily an alien. And "wished the stranger could do something about her" implies he knows the stranger from that conversation. So it's more about not being acquainted. I'll go with sense 2.

So the answer: {"sense_index": 2}

We are asked: "wished the stranger could do something about her". The context: Haney mailed the check for maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her. The "stranger" is the weirdy from earlier conversation? Actually, earlier: "his conversation with the weirdy" and "wished the stranger could do something about her". So he wishes the stranger could take some action regarding his wife. The sense of "do" here is to perform an action, to take some unspecified action. The candidate senses:

1. engage in (make love, not war; make an effort) - not suitable, not about engaging in something with her.
2. carry out or perform an action (perform, execute) - examples: John did the painting... This fits: do something about her, i.e., perform some action.
3. get (something) done (I did my job) - similar, but more about completing a task. Could work, but sense 2 is broader.
4. proceed or get along (How is she doing?) - not about doing something to someone else.
5. cause (cause a commotion) - maybe: do something about her = cause something to happen? But "do" here is more directly perform an action.
6. carry out or practice (as of jobs) - practice law, not appropriate.
7. be sufficient - no.
8. create or design - no.
9. behave - no, not about behavior.
10. spend time in prison - no.
11. carry on or function (manage) - "do with" a little help; not matching.
12. arrange attractively - no.
13. travel or traverse - no.

Sense 2: carry out or perform an action. The example: "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters" shows "do" as a general action verb. "Do something about her" means perform some action to deal with her. So sense 2 is the best. Sense 3 "get (something) done" is more about completing a task; but here it's about taking action. Sense 2 is more general. So I'll pick sense_index: 2.

We are given the target lemma "come" with surface form "Coming". Context: "... and wished the stranger could do something about her <t>Coming</t> home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

The phrase is: "her Coming home from work" (capital C maybe for emphasis, but it's "Coming home from work"). This is a participial phrase: "Coming home from work" modifies "he" (the subject of the main clause). The meaning is: while he was coming home from work, he saw a police car. "Come home" means arriving at home. The sense is about reaching a destination: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress". That matches sense 2: "come%2:38:04:: | reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | arrive, get | She arrived home at 7 o'clock". The example "She arrived home at 7 o'clock" uses "arrived home", which is exactly parallel to "coming home". Sense 1 is more general "move toward", but here it's specifically arriving at home, a destination. Sense 3 is "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" like "The first success came", abstract. Sense 4 is "reach or enter a state", not physical movement. So sense 2 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "home" with target surface form "home" in the context: "Coming <t>home</t> from work". We must pick the best indexed sense among candidates 1-9 based on context, synonyms, and examples.

The phrase is "Coming home from work". This is a common expression meaning returning to one's residence. The context: "he was startled to see a police car..." implies he is arriving at his place of residence.

Now, let's examine the senses:

1. sense_key=home%1:15:04:: definition=where you live at a particular time. examples: "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to" - This is a general sense of home as a place where one lives, not necessarily a building. It could fit "coming home from work" as returning to that place.

2. sense_key=home%1:06:00:: definition=housing that someone is living in. synonyms: dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house. examples: "he built a modest dwelling near the pond; they raise money to provide homes for the homeless" - This is more about the physical structure of a house. Still possible.

3. sense_key=home%1:15:02:: definition=the country or state or city where you live. examples: "Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home; his home is New Jersey" - This is more about a larger geographic area like country or city. "Coming home from work" doesn't fit because home here refers to his specific apartment, not a region.

4. baseball sense - irrelevant.

5. base sense - irrelevant.

6. sense_key=home%1:15:03:: place where something began - e.g., "home of basketball". Irrelevant.

7. sense_key=home%1:26:00:: environment offering affection and security - "home is where the heart is". The phrase could metaphorically align, but "coming home from work" is literal, not about an emotional environment. The phrase "coming home" is routine, not metaphorical.

8. sense_key=home%1:14:00:: social unit living together - "he moved his family". "Coming home" could mean returning to his family, but in this context, he is surprised by a police car at his apartment building, so physical location is key. Also, the text doesn't mention family there, just the building.

9. nursing home - irrelevant.

So between 1 and 2: sense 1 is more abstract "where you live at a particular time", sense 2 is "housing that someone is living in" as a physical dwelling. "Coming home" typically refers to the place you live, which could be a dwelling. In WordNet, sense 1 is more general, sense 2 is a hypernym (dwelling). However, the example for sense 1 "deliver the package to my home" uses "home" as the place one lives, while sense 2 is "he built a modest dwelling". "Coming home" matches sense 1 better because it's the concept of returning to your living place, not the physical building per se, though they often overlap. Also, the example for sense 1: "he doesn't have a home to go to" parallels "coming home". Sense 2's examples emphasize construction, providing homes for homeless. So I think sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus, sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content: We are to disambiguate "work" in the sentence: "Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car..." The context: He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday ... On Thursday ... Coming home from work, he was startled... The phrase "coming home from work" strongly suggests the sense of employment or occupation. The candidate senses: sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid" with synonym employment, examples "he is looking for employment; a lot of people are out of work". That fits perfectly. Sense 6 is "a place where work is done" (workplace), but "coming home from work" typically means returning from one's job, not strictly from the workplace? Both could be argued, but the phrase "from work" in idiomatic usage often refers to the activity/employment, similar to "from school". Checking examples: Sense 6 has example "he arrived at work early today" which emphasizes the place. Sense 3 emphasizes the occupational activity. In "coming home from work", "work" is metonymically the place, but the intended sense is the employment. Typically, WordNet would assign such usage to sense 3 (employment) because it's the general concept of being at one's job. I'll check if there's an explicit note. Actually, in WordNet, "work" as "employment" is the abstract occupation, not place. But when someone says "coming home from work", "work" refers to the activity/job. The example for sense 3: "a lot of people are out of work" meaning unemployment. So "coming home from work" means returning after the period of employment for the day. I'll go with sense 3. Sense 6 is specifically "workplace", but the phrase doesn't necessarily emphasize the building, it's the concept of employment. So index 3.

We need to disambiguate "see" in the sentence: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building. Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly."

The target is "see" in "he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building." This is a physical perception: he saw the police car with his eyes. He was startled to see it. So sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" fits perfectly. Synonyms: perceive. Examples: "You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?" It's about visual perception.

Other senses: sense 2 is understand, realize (mentally), sense 3 is witness/find (like "We found Republicans winning"), sense 4 is imagine, sense 5 is consider, sense 6 is learn/find out accidentally, sense 7 is watch/view, sense 8 meet, sense 9 find out/learn, sense 10 ensure, sense 11 professional visit, sense 12 social visit, sense 13 visit a place, sense 14 attend to, sense 15 receive as guest, sense 16 date, sense 17 artistic seeing, sense 18 deliberate/decide, sense 19 observe as if with an eye (camera), sense 20 examine/inspect, sense 21 experience/go through, sense 22 escort, sense 23 match a bet, sense 24 interpret.

Clearly, the context is about visually perceiving a police car. He came home and saw it parked. So sense 1 is the best. But we need to return only the index (1-based) of the sense in the list. The list is 1-indexed? The candidate senses are numbered 1 through 24. So we return {"sense_index": 1}. However, check if there's any nuance: He was "startled to see" might suggest he perceived it with surprise, but that's still visual perception. Sense 6 "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" could also be considered, but "see" here is direct visual, not just "learned" through other means. He literally saw the car. So sense 1. Sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" like "witness" might also fit, but it's more about being present at an event. But the example "You'll see a lot of cheating" is more like witness. Here "see a police car" is simply seeing an object, not an event. So sense 1 is most straightforward. We'll go with sense 1.

Double-check: The target surface form is "see", lemma "see". So index 1.

We are given a target word "people" with surface form "people" in a specific context. The context: Phil is going about his week, and one day coming home from work he sees a police car parked in front of the apartment building. Inside the lobby, <t>people</t> were standing around, talking excitedly. He asks a fellow tenant what happened.

We need to choose the best WordNet sense from the four candidates.

Let's examine each sense:

1. sense_key=people%1:14:00:: | definition=(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively | examples=old people; there were at least 200 people in the audience
2. sense_key=people%1:14:01:: | definition=the body of citizens of a state or country | synonyms=citizenry | examples=the Spanish people
3. sense_key=people%1:14:02:: | definition=members of a family line | examples=his people have been farmers for generations; are your people still alive?
4. sense_key=people%1:14:03:: | definition=the common people generally | synonyms=multitude, masses, mass, hoi polloi, the great unwashed | examples=separate the warriors from the mass; power to the people

In the context, "people" refers to individuals in the lobby of an apartment building, standing around and talking excitedly. They are not specifically the citizenry of a country (sense 2), nor a family line (sense 3), nor the common people as opposed to the elite or warriors (sense 4). It is simply a group of human beings collectively. So sense 1 is the most appropriate. It's the general plural sense of "persons".

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense 1.

Now, we must output a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "standing" in the given context. The target lemma is "stand", surface form "standing". The context: Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly.

We need to choose the best sense from the list. Let's analyze the context. "People were standing around" means they were on their feet, upright, not moving much, just being present and talking. The phrase "standing around" is a common phrasal verb meaning to stand idly, without doing anything in particular. The key is that they are in an upright posture.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=stand%2:35:00:: | definition=be standing; be upright | synonyms=stand up | examples=We had to stand for the entire performance! -> This fits well: people were standing around, i.e., they were in an upright posture, on their feet.

2. sense_key=stand%2:42:04:: | be in some specified state or condition. "I stand corrected" -> Not about physical standing.

3. sense_key=stand%2:42:03:: | occupy a place or location, also metaphorically. "We stand on common ground" -> Could be metaphorical, but "standing around" implies physical location, though this sense might capture the idea of being present in a place. However, the definition "occupy a place or location" might be too broad. The example "We stand on common ground" is metaphorical. In the context, it's literal physical standing.

4. sense_key=stand%2:42:00:: | hold one's ground; maintain a position; be steadfast or upright. "I am standing my ground" -> This is about not yielding, not about physical posture per se.

5. sense_key=stand%2:31:00:: | put up with something. Not applicable.

6. sense_key=stand%2:31:01:: | maintain a position on an issue. Not applicable.

7. sense_key=stand%2:42:06:: | remain inactive or immobile. "standing water" -> This could fit "standing around" as idle, not moving. But the primary sense is of water that is not flowing. People "standing around" are inactive, but they are still upright. This sense is often used for liquids, but also can apply to people? The definition says "remain inactive or immobile", but the example "standing water" shows it's typically for liquids. However, the phrase "stand around" often means to loiter idly. So there might be an overlap. But sense 1 directly captures the physical posture, which is the most literal interpretation.

8. sense_key=stand%2:42:02:: | be in effect; remain in force. Not applicable.

9. sense_key=stand%2:42:01:: | be tall; have a height of. Not applicable.

10. sense_key=stand%2:35:01:: | put into an upright position (transitive). "Can you stand the bookshelf up?" Not applicable, as "standing" is intransitive here.

11. sense_key=stand%2:33:00:: | withstand. Not applicable.

12. sense_key=stand%2:35:10:: | be available for stud services. Not applicable.

So the best sense is sense 1: be standing; be upright. The context says "people were standing around", meaning they were in a standing position. The example "We had to stand for the entire performance!" matches this intransitive use.

Thus, sense_index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the lemma "talk" with the surface form "talking" in the given context. We have six candidate senses with definitions, synonyms, and examples. We need to pick the single best sense based on the context.

Context: The relevant sentence is "Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly." People are talking excitedly, likely about some event (a police car parked outside). They are conversing with each other, exchanging thoughts. The word "talking" here is used intransitively, describing the action of people speaking together.

Let's examine the senses:

1. sense_key=talk%2:32:01:: | definition=exchange thoughts; talk with | synonyms=speak | examples=We often talk business; Actions talk louder than words. This implies a mutual exchange, communication with others. It often requires an object or a topic ("talk business"). The synonym is "speak" but the definition emphasizes exchanging thoughts. In the context, people are standing around and talking excitedly—they are likely exchanging thoughts with each other. This sense fits well.

2. sense_key=talk%2:32:00:: | definition=express in speech | synonyms=speak, utter, mouth, verbalize, verbalise | examples=She talks a lot of nonsense; This depressed patient does not verbalize. This sense is about producing speech, uttering words, not necessarily involving an interlocutor. In the context, they are probably talking to each other, so it's more than just uttering; it's a conversation.

3. sense_key=talk%2:32:03:: | definition=use language | synonyms=speak | examples=the baby talks already; the prisoner won't speak. This refers to the ability to speak, to use language. The context doesn't imply people demonstrating language ability; they're just talking.

4. sense_key=talk%2:32:02:: | definition=reveal information | synonyms=spill | examples=If you don't oblige me, I'll talk!; The former employee spilled all the details. This sense implies disclosing secrets or revealing information, often under pressure. The context doesn't suggest that; they are talking excitedly, not necessarily spilling secrets.

5. sense_key=talk%2:32:06:: | definition=divulge confidential information or secrets | synonyms=spill the beans, let the cat out of the bag, tattle, blab, peach, babble | examples=Be careful--his secretary talks. This is very specific to revealing secrets. Not applicable.

6. sense_key=talk%2:32:05:: | definition=deliver a lecture or talk | synonyms=lecture | examples=She will talk at Rutgers next week; Did you ever lecture at Harvard? This is about giving a formal lecture. Not the case here.

The best fit is sense 1: exchanging thoughts; talking with others. It captures the conversational aspect. Sense 2 is close but is more about the act of speaking, possibly without an exchange. Sense 1 explicitly mentions "exchange thoughts; talk with", which matches people standing around and talking excitedly to each other. So I'll go with sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to analyze the context for "spine" in the sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

The phrase "spine crawled" is a common idiom. It often refers to a physical sensation along the back, sometimes called "a chill down the spine" or "spine-tingling." It's metaphorical but grounded in the anatomical spine (sense 1: the series of vertebrae). The crawling sensation suggests the spine as the back. Sense 1 is the spinal column. The other senses: any sharply pointed projection (spur, acantha), small sharp tip (thorn, prickle), book spine, sharp animal process. None of those would "crawl" in a foreboding premonition. The crawling is a feeling along the backbone. So sense 1 is correct. However, the instruction says: "Do not hedge. Choose the single best indexed sense." So we return only a JSON object with the sense_index. Sense 1 is the first one. So {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to do word sense disambiguation for the word "crawled" in the given context. The context is: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened." We need to pick the best sense from the list.

The senses:
1. move slowly; in the case of people or animals with the body near the ground (creep) - example: crocodile crawling along riverbed.
2. feel as if crawling with insects - example: My skin crawled--I was terrified.
3. be full of - example: The old cheese was crawling with maggots.
4. show submission or fear - synonyms: fawn, creep, cringe, cower, grovel.
5. swim by doing the crawl - example: European children learn breast stroke, not crawl.

In context, "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" – this is a figurative use, meaning he felt a sensation as if insects were crawling on his spine, often associated with fear or unease. Sense 2 is exactly that: feel as if crawling with insects, example: "My skin crawled--I was terrified". This matches the context of a fearful premonition.

Sense 1 is literal physical crawling. Sense 3 is "be full of" something, like maggots, but here it's "crawled with a foreboding premonition" – premonition isn't a physical thing that can literally crawl; it's metaphorical. Sense 4 could be about fear, but it means showing submission or fear through physical actions like cowering, not a sensation on the spine. Sense 5 is about swimming.

Thus, sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "premonition" in context. The context describes a person feeling a "foreboding premonition" when seeing a police car and then learning the landlord died. The two candidate senses: 1) "a feeling of evil to come" with synonyms foreboding, presentiment, boding; 2) "an early warning about a future event". The context uses "foreboding premonition" which aligns with sense 1. The landlord's death is an evil event, and the feeling is one of foreboding. Sense 2 is more neutral warning, but here it's explicitly a feeling. The correct choice is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "premonition" and context with a sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died." We have two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=premonition%1:12:00:: | definition=a feeling of evil to come | synonyms=foreboding, presentiment, boding | examples=a steadily escalating sense of foreboding; the lawyer had a presentiment that the judge would dismiss the case

2. sense_key=premonition%1:10:00:: | definition=an early warning about a future event | synonyms=forewarning

In context, the premonition is described as a "foreboding premonition," linking it directly to the synonym "foreboding." It's a feeling he has, a sensation in his spine, not a concrete warning. The example for sense 1 uses "sense of foreboding" and "presentiment," which fits the subjective, emotional anticipation of something bad. Sense 2, "forewarning," is more about an actual advance notice or warning, not typically a feeling. The context emphasizes his spine crawling, an intuitive feeling. Therefore, sense 1 is best.

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

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "ask" with surface form "asked" in a given context. We must choose the best indexed sense from the list provided, returning only a JSON object like {"sense_index": N}. The context is: "He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building. Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly. His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died."

The target sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened." So, he asked a question: "what had happened?" He is inquiring about the situation.

Now let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=ask%2:32:00:: | definition=inquire about | synonyms=inquire, enquire | examples=I asked about their special today; He had to ask directions several times
2. sense_key=ask%2:32:01:: | definition=make a request or demand for something to somebody | examples=She asked him for a loan
3. sense_key=ask%2:32:02:: | definition=direct or put; seek an answer to | examples=ask a question
4. sense_key=ask%2:32:05:: | definition=consider obligatory; request and expect | synonyms=require, expect | examples=We require our secretary to be on time; Aren't we asking too much of these children?
5. sense_key=ask%2:32:04:: | definition=address a question to and expect an answer from | examples=Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother
6. sense_key=ask%2:42:00:: | definition=require as useful, just, or proper | synonyms=necessitate, postulate, need, require, take, involve | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did; success usually requires hard work
7. sense_key=ask%2:32:09:: | definition=require or ask for as a price or condition | examples=He is asking $200 for the table; The kidnappers are asking a million dollars in return for the release of their hostage

The target usage: "asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened." This is clearly a question, seeking information. The direct object of "asked" is "one of his fellow tenants", and then an indirect question: "what had happened." So he addressed a question to a person. This matches sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from". That sense's examples: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother" involve asking someone a question. Sense 1 is "inquire about", which is similar but often used intransitively or with "about", like "I asked about their special". But here, he asked a person something. Sense 3 is "direct or put; seek an answer to" with example "ask a question". That sense seems to be about the act of asking a question, possibly without specifying the recipient? The definition: "direct or put; seek an answer to". That could also work: "ask a question" is the typical phrase. However, in context, "asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened" implies both the question and the person. Sense 3 focuses on the question itself (seeking an answer), while sense 5 focuses on addressing a question to someone. The two are very close. Often in WordNet, sense 5 might be more specific for when there's an explicit addressee. Let's check the glosses carefully:

Sense 1: inquire about (e.g., I asked about their special today; He had to ask directions several times). Here, the object is the topic, not a person. In the target, it's "asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened." So it's not just "asked about something", it's "asked someone something". So sense 1 likely doesn't fit perfectly because it doesn't entail a person as recipient.

Sense 3: "direct or put; seek an answer to" with example "ask a question". This sense doesn't necessarily specify that you're asking a person, but the example "ask a question" is a common collocation. In "asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened", you could parse it as "asked [a person] [a question]" where "what had happened" is the question. So sense 3 could be applied. But sense 5 explicitly says "address a question to and expect an answer from", which seems to precisely fit the structure: ask [someone] [question]. The examples for sense 5 include: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" (ask someone about something) and "The children asked me about their dead grandmother" (ask someone about something). That matches "asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened" more closely than sense 3's example of just "ask a question" without a person.

Sense 4 is about requiring/expecting, not applicable. Sense 2 is making a request (e.g., asked for a loan), not a question. Sense 6 and 7 are about necessity or price, no.

Thus, the best choice is sense 5, as it specifically covers asking a person a question. Sense 3 is a close second, but sense 5 is more precise for the syntactic pattern "ask [person] [question]".

Let's interpret the indexing: The senses are listed with numbers 1 through 7. We need to output the index as given. So I'll output {"sense_index": 5}.

Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly. His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died."

We need to choose the best indexed sense from the list. The target word "fellow" appears in "his fellow tenants". So it modifies "tenants", meaning the people who live in the same building. The sense should reflect that they are co-tenants, members of the same community/group. Looking at the options:

1. A boy or man (informal) - not fitting, "fellow tenants" doesn't mean male tenants per se.
2. A friend or companion - not necessarily friends, just people living in the same building.
3. A person who is member of one's class or profession; synonyms: colleague, confrere. Example: "he sent e-mail to his fellow hackers". Here, "fellow tenants" means people who share the same status as tenants. They are in the same class/group of being tenants. This fits well.
4. One of a pair - not a pair.
5. A member of a learned society - not relevant.
6. An informal form of address - not as an address, but as a modifier.
7. Lover/boyfriend - no.

Sense 3 is clearly the best: "a person who is member of one's class or profession". Here, tenants share the class of being tenants in the building. So answer: {"sense_index": 3}.

He comes home and sees a police car, people talking, and he asks "one of his fellow tenants" what happened. He learns the landlord died. The word "tenants" clearly refers to other people who live in the apartment building and rent from the landlord. So they are people who dwell in the building and presumably pay rent.

Now we have three candidate senses:
1. sense 1: someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car... specifically renter. Example: "the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent" — this highlights the payment of rent.
2. sense 2: a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease) — this is about holding title, which could include owners or leaseholders, not necessarily renters. This seems broader and not limited to renters; it includes those who own or lease land.
3. sense 3: any occupant who dwells in a place — this is generic, just an occupant, not necessarily paying rent or having any legal title. It simply means someone who lives there.

In context, the man asks his "fellow tenants" in the apartment building. The term "fellow tenants" implies they are all tenants under the same landlord. The story also mentions he mails a check for separate maintenance to his wife, so he is likely a paying tenant. The landlord-tenant relationship is central: the landlord is dead. The natural interpretation is that these are people who rent the apartments. Sense 1 specifically mentions paying rent and uses landlord-tenant examples. Sense 3 is too broad; it could be anyone living there, but in context of "fellow tenants" and a landlord, the rental aspect is key. Sense 2 involves holding title, which isn't typical for apartment renters; they don't hold title. So sense 1 is best.

Thus, sense_index = 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "happen" with surface form "happened" in a specific context. We have five candidate senses from WordNet with sense keys, definitions, synonyms, and examples. We need to choose the single best indexed sense, where the index is the number in the list: 1 through 5. We must return JSON like {"sense_index": 3}.

Let's analyze the context: The narrative describes a sequence of events. The protagonist comes home, sees a police car, people talking excitedly, and asks "what had happened." The answer is "The landlord had died." So the question is about an event that occurred. The word "happened" here refers to something that took place, an occurrence.

Now examine each sense:

1. sense_key=happen%2:30:00:: | definition=come to pass | synonyms=hap, go on, pass off, occur, pass, fall out | examples=What is happening?; The meeting took place off without an incidence. This is the most general sense of "happen" meaning to occur or come to pass. The example "What is happening?" matches the context very well: asking what event occurred.

2. sense_key=happen%2:30:02:: | definition=happen, occur, or be the case in the course of events or by chance; (Santayana) | synonyms=befall, bechance | examples=It happens that today is my birthday; These things befell. This sense emphasizes happening by chance or in the course of events, often with a hint of fate or accident. The examples use "It happens that..." and "befell". In the context, the question "what had happened?" is neutral, just asking for the event, not emphasizing chance. The event is the landlord's death, which might be natural, not necessarily chance. So this sense might be less direct.

3. sense_key=happen%2:41:00:: | definition=chance to be or do something, without intention or causation | examples=I happen to have just what you need! This is a different usage: "happen to do something" meaning by chance. The context does not use "happen to", so this is incorrect.

4. sense_key=happen%2:30:01:: | definition=come into being; become reality | synonyms=materialize, materialise | examples=Her dream really materialized. This is about something materializing, like a dream coming true. It doesn't fit asking about an event like a death.

5. sense_key=happen%2:40:12:: | definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with | synonyms=find, chance, bump, encounter | examples=We find this idea in Plato; I happened upon the most wonderful bakery not very far from here. This is "happen upon" meaning to encounter accidentally. Not used in the context.

Clearly, the intended sense is the basic "occur; come to pass". It matches sense 1. The example "What is happening?" is exactly the same kind of interrogative asking about an event. So sense_index should be 1.

Now output {"sense_index": 1} as per instructions.
