Target lemma: rational
Target surface form: rational
Context:
An additional piece of evidence from the Senate: Holding other factors constant, such as incumbency advantages and regional factors, the difference between popular votes for Republican presidential and senatorial candidates in states conducting a Senate election turns out to be a positive function of how onerous the federal government's tax burden is per state -LRB- a progressive tax rate hits higher - income states harder -RRB-. Put more simply, GOP candidates for president are looked on more kindly by voters than Republican candidates for the Senate when the prisoner's sentence is more severe. Moreover, ticket splitting appears to take the same peculiar pattern at the state government level as it does at the federal level. State government is more typically split along Republican-governor / Democratic-legislature lines than the reverse. A cross-state econometric investigation, furthermore, reveals that, holding other factors constant, the difference between a state's major - party vote going to the Republican gubernatorial candidate and the Republican share of the lower state house is a positive function of the state tax rate. In sum, at both the federal and state government levels at least part of the seemingly irrational behavior voters display in the voting booth may have an exceedingly <t>rational</t> explanation. Mr. Zupan teaches at the University of Southern California's business school.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "rational" with surface form "rational" in the given context. The context is: "In sum, at both the federal and state government levels at least part of the seemingly irrational behavior voters display in the voting booth may have an exceedingly <t>rational</t> explanation." So the word is used to describe an "explanation" that is rational, contrasting with "irrational behavior". The candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=rational%3:00:00:: | definition=consistent with or based on or using reason | examples=rational behavior; a process of rational inference
2. sense_key=rational%5:00:00:mental:00 | definition=of or associated with or requiring the use of the mind | synonyms=intellectual, noetic | examples=intellectual problems; the triumph of the rational over the animal side of man
3. sense_key=rational%3:01:00:: | definition=capable of being expressed as a quotient of integers | examples=rational numbers
4. sense_key=rational%5:00:00:intellectual:00 | definition=having its source in or being guided by the intellect (as distinguished from experience or emotion) | examples=a rational analysis

The context is about voter behavior appearing irrational but having a rational explanation. Here, "rational" means based on reason, logical, not irrational. Sense 1 fits perfectly: "consistent with or based on or using reason". The example "rational behavior" also matches. Sense 4 is similar but emphasizes guidance by intellect as opposed to emotion, but in this context, the emphasis is on being based on reason, not necessarily contrasting emotion vs. intellect. Sense 2 is about mental faculties generally. Sense 3 is mathematical and irrelevant. So sense 1 is the best.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "long" with surface form "long" in the given context. The context: "In the <t>long</t>, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

We need to choose among the 9 candidate senses. The target word is "long" modifying "night". So "long night" here refers to the duration of the night, that it felt long temporally because it was frightening and after an earthquake. So it's about time, not spatial extension. Sense 1: primarily temporal sense; indicating relatively great duration. Example: "a long life; a long boring speech". That fits perfectly. Sense 2 is spatial: "a long road; a long distance" – not about night. Sense 3: of relatively great height, not applicable. Sense 4: good at remembering (retentive) – no. Sense 5: financial sense – no. Sense 6: speech sounds or syllables – no. Sense 7: involving substantial risk – not describing night. Sense 8: planning prudently – no. Sense 9: having more than normal; "long on brains" – might be possible if "long night" meant night with lots of something, but here it's clearly describing the night's duration, and the examples are about supply. So sense 1 is the best.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "night" in the sentence: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could." The target is "night" (surface form: night). We need to pick the best sense among 8 options.

Let's analyze the context: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake". This refers to a specific night following an earthquake. It's described as "long" and "frightening". The main sense is the period of darkness after sunset and before sunrise. This is a literal night, not figurative gloom or a time unit. They are spending the night searching for comfort, so it's the actual nighttime.

Now check candidate senses:
1. the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside (nighttime, dark) - This fits perfectly: the literal night after the earthquake.
2. a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom - Could be figurative, but here it's literal night, not a metaphorical "night".
3. the period spent sleeping - But they are not sleeping; they are searching for comfort, so it's not primarily about sleep.
4. the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit - This could work as a time unit (three nights later), but here it's just "night", not used as a count. Example: "three nights later he collapsed" shows it's a countable unit. In context, "the long, frightening night" is more like the continuous period of darkness, not a countable unit. But sense 1 is more direct: the time after sunset while dark. Sense 4 is about the cycle as a unit.
5. darkness - "vanished into the night" uses night as darkness. Here "night" could be seen as the dark period, but sense 1 explicitly says "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside", which includes darkness but is the time period.
6. a shortening of nightfall - "morning to night" meaning from dawn to dusk; here night is the evening. Not this.
7. the time between sunset and midnight - That's a specific part of the night, but the context doesn't specify it's only until midnight. It's the whole night.
8. Roman goddess - Not applicable.

Comparing 1 and 4: Sense 1 is more general and straightforward. Sense 4 is about the "dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" with example "three nights later". In our sentence, it's not a unit of counting, it's a descriptive noun phrase: "the long, frightening night". So sense 1 is better. Sense 5 "darkness" might also fit, but it's less precise than sense 1 which includes the time aspect. The sentence says "in the ... night after ... earthquake", which clearly denotes the time period. So sense 1 is best.

Thus, the answer is sense index 1.

We are asked: "Target lemma: devastate. Target surface form: devastating. Context: In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=devastate%2:30:00:: | definition=cause extensive destruction or ruin utterly | synonyms=lay waste to, waste, desolate, ravage, scourge | examples=The enemy lay waste to the countryside after the invasion
2. sense_key=devastate%2:30:01:: | definition=overwhelm or overpower | examples=He was devastated by his grief when his son died

We need to choose the single best indexed sense. The target word is "devastating" modifying "earthquake". The context: "devastating earthquake" suggests the earthquake caused extensive destruction. That aligns with sense 1: "cause extensive destruction or ruin utterly". Sense 2 is about emotional overwhelming, like being devastated by grief. The earthquake is physically destructive, not emotionally overwhelming in this context (though it may cause emotional distress, but "devastating earthquake" primarily refers to the physical destruction). The synonyms for sense 1: lay waste to, waste, desolate, ravage, scourge. These are about physical destruction. So sense 1 is the best fit.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to choose between two senses for "earthquake" in the context: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating <t>earthquake</t>, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

Sense 1: literal, physical earthquake (shaking and vibration...). Sense 2: metaphorical, a disturbance that is extremely disruptive. The context is about a "devastating earthquake" and residents seeking comfort. Given the devastation and the frightening night, it clearly refers to a literal earthquake, not a metaphorical one. So the correct sense is 1.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "search" with the surface form "searched" in the given context. The context is: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

We have four candidate senses:
1. sense_key=search%2:35:00:: | definition=try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of | synonyms=seek, look for | examples=The police are searching for clues; They are searching for the missing man in the entire county
2. sense_key=search%2:39:00:: | definition=search or seek | synonyms=look | examples=We looked all day and finally found the child in the forest; Look elsewhere for the perfect gift!
3. sense_key=search%2:31:00:: | definition=inquire into | synonyms=research, explore | examples=the students had to research the history of the Second World War for their history project; He searched for information on his relatives on the web
4. sense_key=search%2:35:01:: | definition=subject to a search | examples=The police searched the suspect; We searched the whole house for the missing keys

The context is about residents searching for comfort and solace. They are not literally looking for a physical object; they are trying to find emotional relief. The phrase "searched for comfort and solace" indicates a seek or look for something abstract. Let's evaluate each sense:

- Sense 1: "try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of". This fits well: they are trying to discover comfort and solace. The examples are about searching for clues or a missing man, which are physical objects, but the definition covers discovering the existence of something, which could be abstract.
- Sense 2: "search or seek" with synonyms "look". The examples are "looked all day and finally found the child" and "Look elsewhere for the perfect gift". This is also about looking for something, but it might be more general. It includes seeking, which fits abstract things like comfort.
- Sense 3: "inquire into" with synonyms "research, explore". This is more about intellectual investigation, like researching history or searching for information online. That doesn't fit comfort and solace, which are emotional needs.
- Sense 4: "subject to a search" meaning to physically search a person or place. That doesn't fit; they aren't subjecting comfort to a search.

So, senses 1 and 2 both seem plausible. The difference: Sense 1 is a bit more specific: "try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of". Sense 2 is simpler: "search or seek". The examples for sense 1 include "searching for clues" which is concrete, but the definition includes "establish the existence of". Sense 2 includes "look" with abstract example "Look elsewhere for the perfect gift!" So both can apply.

We need to choose the single best indexed sense. Typically, in WordNet, sense 1 (35:00) is a more specific sense, while sense 2 (39:00) is often a generic "look" sense. Since the phrase is "searched for comfort and solace", they are trying to find comfort. It's like "seek comfort". The example for sense 2: "Look elsewhere for the perfect gift!" shows it can be used for abstract things. But sense 1's definition is "try to locate or discover" which fits. However, note that the target word is "search", and in WordNet, sense 1 (35:00) is a transitive verb frame? Actually, the sense keys aren't fully explained, but typically the first sense is the most common. But we need to rely on the definitions and examples.

I think sense 1 is appropriate because it specifically mentions "try to establish the existence of", which can apply to abstract concepts like comfort. Sense 2 is also a candidate, but it might be too broad. However, let's check the examples: sense 1 says "searching for clues", "searching for the missing man" — both concrete. Sense 2 says "Look elsewhere for the perfect gift" — abstract. So maybe sense 2 is more about looking for something you want, not necessarily physical. But the definition of sense 2 is just "search or seek", which is almost identical to the headword. It's likely a finer distinction. I'd lean toward sense 2 because it is often used with abstract things. But I'm not entirely sure.

Another perspective: The context mentions "some found it on the screen of a personal computer." So they were seeking comfort, and some found it via computer. That's like looking for solace online. It could align with sense 3 (research, explore) if they were searching the web for information that brought comfort. But the primary action is "searched for comfort", not "searched for information". So it's still a seeking action. There's no indication they were researching anything. They just sought comfort.

Thus, sense 3 is out. Sense 4 is out.

Now between 1 and 2: I'll go with sense 2: "search or seek" because it's a direct synonym and the example "Look elsewhere for the perfect gift!" shows it applies to non-physical things. Sense 1 is more about physically trying to locate something concrete, like a person or object.

I'll pick sense 2.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "comfort" in the given context. The target surface form is "comfort". The context: "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer."

We need to choose the best indexed sense from the list of 7 candidate senses. The sense index corresponds to the order given: first is 1, second is 2, ..., seventh is 7.

Let's analyze each sense:

1. sense_key=comfort%1:26:00:: | definition=a state of being relaxed and feeling no pain | synonyms=comfortableness | examples=he is a man who enjoys his comfort; she longed for the comfortableness of her armchair
   This sense is about physical relaxation and no pain. The context is about emotional distress after an earthquake, people seeking comfort/solace. Not physical relaxation.

2. sense_key=comfort%1:12:00:: | definition=a feeling of freedom from worry or disappointment
   This is an emotional state of no worry/disappointment. People might seek that after a frightening event.

3. sense_key=comfort%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction | synonyms=consolation, solace | examples=his presence was a consolation to her
   This sense is about the act of consoling or giving relief in affliction. The context explicitly uses "comfort and solace", and solace is a synonym here. They are seeking comfort/solace. This seems very fitting.

4. sense_key=comfort%1:26:01:: | definition=a freedom from financial difficulty that promotes a comfortable state | synonyms=ease | examples=a life of luxury and ease; he had all the material comforts of this world
   Financial comfort, not relevant.

5. sense_key=comfort%1:26:02:: | definition=satisfaction or physical well-being provided by a person or thing | examples=his friendship was a comfort; a padded chair was one of the room's few comforts
   This could be applicable: something that provides comfort. They found it on a computer screen, so a thing providing comfort. But note: "his friendship was a comfort" is emotional satisfaction. This sense is a bit ambiguous: it includes both physical well-being and satisfaction provided by a person/thing. In the context, they searched for comfort and found it on a computer screen, so something that gave them comfort. However, the phrase "comfort and solace" strongly suggests consolation in time of distress.

   Not relevant.

7. sense_key=comfort%1:04:01:: | definition=assistance, such as that provided to an enemy or to a known criminal | examples=it gave comfort to the enemy
   This is a negative sense, often "aid and comfort to the enemy". Not relevant here.

Between sense 2 and 3 and 5:
Sense 2: a feeling of freedom from worry.
Sense 3: the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction.
Sense 5: satisfaction or physical well-being provided by a person or thing.

In the sentence, they "searched for comfort and solace". Here "comfort" is paired with "solace", which is a direct synonym of sense 3 (consolation, solace). So sense 3 is strongly indicated. Sense 5 could also fit: they found it on a computer screen, which is a thing providing comfort. But the pairing with "solace" and the context of "frightening night after earthquake" points to consolation/relief in affliction, which is exactly sense 3. Sense 2 is more a state of mind, whereas they are searching for something (an act or something that provides relief). Actually, "searched for comfort" could mean they wanted to feel relief, but "comfort and solace" as a phrase is classic for consoling. Additionally, the example for sense 3: "his presence was a consolation to her" is similar: they found it on the screen, which provided consolation. So sense 3 is the best match.

Thus, I'll choose sense index 3.

Output: {"sense_index": 3}

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "solace" in the given context. The context is about Bay Area residents searching for comfort and solace after an earthquake. They find it wherever they could, including on a computer screen. The target is "solace" as a noun. We have three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=solace%1:12:00:: | definition=the comfort you feel when consoled in times of disappointment | synonyms=consolation, solacement | examples=second place was no consolation to him
2. sense_key=solace%1:26:00:: | definition=comfort in disappointment or misery | synonyms=solacement
3. sense_key=solace%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction | synonyms=consolation, comfort | examples=his presence was a consolation to her

We need to choose the best sense. In the sentence, "residents searched for comfort and solace" – both comfort and solace are nouns, parallel. They are seeking an abstract thing that provides relief. The event is a devastating earthquake, which causes misery and affliction, not just disappointment. Sense 1 mentions "times of disappointment" and the example is about second place, which is less severe. Sense 2 says "comfort in disappointment or misery," which includes misery. Sense 3 is "the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction." The context says "searched for comfort and solace" – solace here is something they searched for, a thing they want to obtain. It could be the feeling of comfort (sense 1 or 2) or the act of consoling? They searched for solace, meaning they wanted the comfort that comes from being consoled. In the phrase "comfort and solace", it's likely the state or feeling of being solaced, not the act. The synonyms for sense 1 and 2 are "solacement", sense 3 has "consolation, comfort". The example for sense 3: "his presence was a consolation to her" – that suggests the act or the thing that consoles. But "solace" can mean the comfort itself. In WordNet, sense 1 is the feeling, sense 2 is also a state? Sense 2's definition: "comfort in disappointment or misery" – that sounds like the comfort itself, a synonym for solacement. Sense 1: "the comfort you feel when consoled" – that explicitly is the feeling. Sense 3 is the act of consoling. The context: "searched for comfort and solace" – they are looking for something to make them feel better. It could be either the feeling or the act. But typically, when you search for solace, you're looking for the comfort that eases distress, which is the feeling (sense 1 or 2). The difference between sense 1 and 2: sense 1 is limited to "times of disappointment", while sense 2 includes "misery". The earthquake is not just disappointment, it's a disaster causing misery. So sense 2 might be broader. Sense 1's example: "second place was no consolation" is about disappointment. So sense 2 is better because it includes misery. Also, sense 2 is solely "solacement" as a synonym, while sense 1 includes consolation. But the clue is "comfort in disappointment or misery" for sense 2, which fits the tragic situation. Sense 3 is an act, and "searched for solace" doesn't necessarily denote an act; they want solace, the thing itself. The phrase "found it on the screen" suggests that solace is something they obtained, a feeling. So I'd go with sense 2. Sense 1 is too narrow. Therefore, the best indexed sense is 2. Return JSON.

reasoning_content: We are asked: "Target lemma: screen Target surface form: screen Context: ... Some found it on the <t>screen</t> of a personal computer. ..." The context mentions "screen of a personal computer" and "electronic bulletin boards" which are displayed on screens. The best sense is the display screen of a computer, which corresponds to sense 3: "the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube" or CRT screen, but that's a bit old-fashioned; however, it's the closest to a computer monitor. Sense 1 is a projection screen, not for a personal computer. Sense 2, 4, 5, etc. are about physical coverings. Sense 6 is film industry personnel. Sense 7 is a sieve. Sense 8 is a screen door. Sense 9 is a partition. So sense 3 is clearly the intended one. Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 3}.

Hundreds of Californians <t>made</t> their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards..."

We need to choose the single best indexed sense from the given list. The phrase is "made their way to their computers". The verb "make" used in "make one's way" means to proceed, go, move towards a destination (often with some effort or difficulty). Looking at the candidate senses, number 36: definition="proceed along a path" | synonyms="work" | examples="work one's way through the crowd; make one's way into the forest". That fits exactly: "made their way to their computers" means they proceeded to their computers. So sense 36 is the correct one.

Check others: sense 13 "reach a goal", sense 14 "be or be capable of being changed or made into", no. Sense 22 "reach a destination", but "reach" is a synonym for sense 22: definition="reach a destination, either real or abstract" | examples: "We hit Detroit by noon". But "make one's way" is a specific phrase that sense 36 captures with "proceed along a path". Sense 22 might be relevant, but "reach" doesn't necessarily imply the manner of movement; it's more about arriving. The context says "made their way to their computers" which emphasizes the action of moving towards the computers, not just reaching them. The example in sense 36 includes "make one's way into the forest", which parallels "made their way to their computers". So sense 36 is precise. Sense 22 might be a candidate but it doesn't include the phrase "make one's way". Sense 36 explicitly has it. So I'll choose 36.

reasoning_content:
We are asked: "Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context." The target lemma is "link" and surface form is "link". Context: "...electronic bulletin boards, which <t>link</t> computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines." So here "link" is a verb meaning to connect computers. The candidate senses are:

1. sense 1: "make a logical or causal connection" (associate, tie in, relate, colligate, link up, connect). Example: I cannot connect these two pieces of evidence in my mind.
2. sense 2: "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces" (connect, tie, link up). Example: Can you connect the two loudspeakers? Tie the ropes together.
3. sense 3: "be or become joined or united or linked" (connect, link up, join, unite). Example: The two streets connect to become a highway; Our paths joined. This is intransitive or linking verb sense? "be or become joined" suggests a state or process of joining.
4. sense 4: "link with or as with a yoke" (yoke). Example: yoke the oxen together.

In the sentence: "electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines." Here "link" is used transitively: the bulletin boards link computers. So it's an action where the boards connect computers. This is a physical or network connection, not a logical/causal one. Sense 2 is about connecting pieces, like loudspeakers or ropes. Sense 4 is specific to yoking. Sense 3 is intransitive or passive: "be or become joined". But the sentence uses active voice: "which link computers". So it's likely sense 2: "connect, fasten, or put together two or more pieces". The example includes "connect the two loudspeakers", which is analogous to linking computers. The phrase "via phone lines" indicates a physical medium, further supporting a tangible connection.

Sense 1 is for abstract connections (logical or causal). So sense 2 is the best.

Some of the most <t>vivid</t> bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground. About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "vivid" in the context: "Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well..." The candidate senses are:

1. evoking lifelike images within the mind (synonyms: graphic, lifelike, pictorial; examples: pictorial poetry and prose; graphic accounts of battle)
2. having the clarity and freshness of immediate experience (examples: a vivid recollection)
3. having striking color (synonyms: bright, brilliant; examples: bright dress; brilliant tapestries)
4. (of color) having the highest saturation (synonyms: intense; examples: vivid green; intense blue)

Context: "vivid bulletins" – bulletins here are postings on an electronic bulletin board after an earthquake. They are descriptions of experiences, likely containing powerful, clear descriptions that evoke images or are fresh in the mind. There's no mention of color. So sense 3 and 4 are about color, which is not relevant. Between sense 1 and 2: sense 1 is "evoking lifelike images within the mind", which fits descriptions that are graphic, pictorial. Sense 2: "having the clarity and freshness of immediate experience" like a vivid recollection. Here, the bulletins are from people who just experienced the quake, so they probably are fresh, clear accounts. Both could work, but sense 2 emphasizes clarity and freshness, while sense 1 emphasizes evoking images. The example "a vivid recollection" aligns with sense 2. The context says "checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards" – these are personal accounts, so they might be vivid in the sense of clarity and freshness. "Vivid bulletins" likely means clear, fresh, immediate. Sense 1 is more about being graphic or pictorial, which could also apply, but sense 2 seems more direct for describing accounts. However, the synonyms for sense 1 include "graphic", which often describes detailed, striking descriptions. But sense 2 is specifically about the clarity and freshness of immediate experience, which fits the context of people sharing their experiences right after the quake. I'll go with sense 2.

Thus, the answer is sense_index 2.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "came" in the sentence: "Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

Context: Bulletins (messages) came over an electronic bulletin board. The phrase "came over" suggests that the bulletins were transmitted or arrived via this board. It's like messages appearing on a platform. The sense should capture the idea of messages being received or appearing via a communication medium.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. Move toward, travel toward something. No, bulletins aren't physically moving.
2. Reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress. Could be metaphorical: bulletins arriving. But the example "She didn't get to Chicago" is physical arrival. The bulletins are not physically traveling; they are being transmitted. Sense 16: "be received" with example "News came in of the massacre" seems better.
3. Come to pass; arrive, as in due course. Example: "The first success came three days later." This is about events happening. Not a perfect fit because bulletins are messages, not events, but they do appear.
4. Reach or enter a state, relation, condition. Not applicable.
5. To be the product or result. Example "Melons come from a vine; Understanding comes from experience." Not about transmission.
6. Be found or available. "These shoes come in three colors." Not about transmission.
7. Come forth; issue forth. Example: "A scream came from the woman's mouth; His breath came hard." This could work: bulletins coming forth from the board? But "came over" suggests they appeared on the board, not necessarily from a source. It's like they were posted.
8. Be a native of. No.
9. Extend or reach. Not.
10. Exist or occur in a certain point in a series. Not.
11. Cover a certain distance. No.
12. Come under, be classified. No.
13. Happen as a result. "Nothing good will come of this." Not.
14. Add up in number or quantity. No.
15. Develop into. No.
16. Be received. "News came in of the massacre." This is very close: bulletins being received on the board. The example uses "came in", similar to "came over". This sense is specifically about information being received. Index 16.
17. Come to mind; suggest itself. No.
18. Come from; be connected by blood. No.
19. Proceed or get along. No.
20. Orgasm. No.
21. Have a certain priority. No.

Sense 16: be received, with synonym "come in", and example "News came in of the massacre in Rwanda". The bulletins are akin to news coming in over the board. "Came over" is a phrasal usage meaning transmitted via. The board is the medium. So this is the best fit.

Thus, the answer is sense_index 16.

2. sense_key=electronic%3:01:01:: | definition=of or concerned with electrons | examples=electronic energy

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

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for "electronic" from two candidate senses.

The target is "electronic" in the phrase "the electronic underground". The context: "Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=electronic%3:01:00:: | definition=of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons | examples=electronic devices
2. sense_key=electronic%3:01:01:: | definition=of or concerned with electrons | examples=electronic energy

The phrase "electronic underground" refers to a community or network that exists through electronic means, specifically computer-based bulletin board systems. The context mentions electronic bulletin boards, which link computers. So "electronic" here means relating to electronics, using devices like computers. Sense 1 fits: "of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons". Sense 2 is more about the fundamental particle "electrons", like "electronic energy", which doesn't fit. So the best sense is sense 1, indexed as the first candidate.

Thus, we output {"sense_index": 0} if 0-indexed, or {"sense_index": 1} if 1-indexed? The instruction says "Choose the single best indexed sense" and the candidate senses are listed with numbers 1 and 2. Typically, in such tasks, we return the index as given. Since the prompt says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}" (probably an example), we should return the number corresponding to the sense. Here, it's the first candidate, so sense_index 1. To be safe, since the candidates are labeled 1 and 2, I'll use 1.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "subscriber" and the surface form "subscribers" in the context. The context is about an electronic bulletin board called The Well. It says "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area." The Well is a board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground. It is a service that people subscribe to, via phone lines, to access electronic bulletin boards. So, "subscribers" here refers to people who have contracted to receive and pay for a service, i.e., access to The Well. This matches sense 2: "someone who contracts to receive and pay for a service or a certain number of issues of a publication". Synonyms: reader. In the context, these subscribers are paying for the bulletin board service. Sense 1 is about expressing strong approval, and sense 3 is about contributing money. Both are less fitting. The Well is a subscription service, so sense 2 is the correct one.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "live" in the sentence: "About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers <t>live</t> in the Bay Area." The context is about subscribers of an electronic bulletin board. They are people who live in a certain geographic area. The sense likely relates to residing or inhabiting a place. Let's check the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=live%2:42:08:: | definition=inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of | synonyms=populate, dwell, inhabit | examples=People lived in Africa millions of years ago; The people inhabited the islands that are now deserted. This matches "live in the Bay Area" perfectly.

2. sense_key=live%2:42:06:: | definition=lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style | examples=we had to live frugally after the war. This is about lifestyle, not location.

3. sense_key=live%2:42:04:: | definition=continue to live through hardship or adversity | synonyms=survive, last, live on, go, endure, hold up | examples=We went without water and food for 3 days. Not about location.

4. sense_key=live%2:42:01:: | definition=support oneself | synonyms=exist, survive, subsist | examples=he could barely exist on such a low wage; Can you live on $2000 a month in New York City? This is about financial subsistence, not simply residing.

5. sense_key=live%2:42:00:: | definition=have life, be alive | synonyms=be | examples=Our great leader is no more; My grandfather lived until the end of war. This is about being alive, but the context is "live in the Bay Area," which is clearly about residence.

6. sense_key=live%2:31:00:: | definition=have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations | synonyms=know, experience | examples=I know the feeling!; have you ever known hunger? This does not fit.

7. sense_key=live%2:42:07:: | definition=pursue a positive and satisfying existence | examples=You must accept yourself and others if you really want to live. This is abstract, not about residence.

The best fit is sense 1: inhabit or live in. So I'll return that index.

The target lemma is "hour", surface form "hours" in the sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six <t>hours</t>, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports." So the phrase is "for six hours", indicating a duration of time. The senses: 1. a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day; 2. clock time; 3. a special and memorable period; 4. distance measured by time. Clearly, "for six hours" means a duration of 6 hours, so sense 1 is the best fit. Sense 2 is about clock time, not duration. Sense 3 is figurative, sense 4 is distance. So answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

We are given: "but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports." The target lemma is "come_up", and the target surface form is "came". The context is about a computer system called "The Well" that was knocked out by the quake, and then it "came back up" (meaning it started working again). The phrasal verb is "come back up", which is a variant of "come up" in the sense of returning to operation. Looking at the candidate senses, sense 8 is: "start running, functioning, or operating | synonyms=go on, come on | examples=the lights went on; the computer came up". That perfectly matches the context: the computer system (The Well) came back up, meaning it started functioning again. The example "the computer came up" directly aligns. So sense_index = 8.

We are given a target lemma "teem" with surface form "teemed" used in a sentence: "The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports." So "it" refers to The Well (a bulletin board system). We need to choose between two senses.

Sense 1: definition=be teeming, be abuzz; synonyms=pullulate, swarm; examples: "The garden was swarming with bees; The plaza is teeming with undercover policemen". This sense is about a place being full of activity or things, like swarming.

Sense 2: definition=move in large numbers; synonyms=pour, swarm, stream, pullulate; examples: "people were pouring out of the theater; beggars pullulated in the plaza". This sense focuses on the movement of many individuals.

In the context, "it teemed with emotional first-hand reports" means the bulletin board was full of reports, not that the reports were moving. The reports are just there, not moving. So it matches Sense 1: the board was abuzz or swarming with reports. Sense 2 would be about the reports themselves moving in large numbers, which is awkward. Therefore, Sense 1 is correct.

The response should be JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: emotional
Target surface form: emotional
Context:
In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer. Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines. Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground. About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area. The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with <t>emotional</t> first-hand reports. Following are excerpts from the electronic traffic that night.

We are asked to disambiguate "emotional" in the context: "it teemed with emotional first-hand reports." The context describes people sharing their experiences after an earthquake. The reports are first-hand accounts that are likely filled with emotion because of the scary event. We need to pick the best sense from the four candidates.

Sense 1: "determined or actuated by emotion rather than reason" – example: "it was an emotional judgment". This implies a decision based on emotion, not necessarily applicable to reports.

Sense 2: "of more than usual emotion" – example: "his behavior was highly emotional". This suggests something that displays more emotion than usual. Could apply to reports that are full of emotion.

Sense 3: "of or pertaining to emotion" – examples: "emotional health; an emotional crisis". This is a general sense relating to emotion. It could describe reports that are about or contain emotion.

Sense 4: "(of persons) excessively affected by emotion" – synonyms: aroused, excited, worked up. Examples: "he would become emotional over nothing at all; she was worked up about all the noise". This sense applies to persons, not reports. So it's not fitting.

We need the best indexed sense. Sense 4 is clearly for persons, so it's out. Sense 1 is about decisions or judgments based on emotion, not about reports. Sense 3 is general "pertaining to emotion", which could work: "emotional first-hand reports" meaning reports pertaining to emotion, i.e., describing emotional experiences. Sense 2 is "of more than usual emotion" meaning highly emotional. The context says "teemed with emotional first-hand reports" – the implication is that the reports were filled with emotion because of the traumatic event. So both senses 2 and 3 could be argued. But we need the single best. WordNet indexes them as distinct. Let's think about the subtleties. Sense 2 is about a high degree of emotion, while sense 3 is merely relating to emotion. Typically, "emotional reports" would mean reports that are emotional in nature, i.e., they express or evoke emotion. That aligns with sense 2: of more than usual emotion. The examples given for sense 2: "his behavior was highly emotional" is similar. Sense 3 is more about a connection to emotion as a topic: "emotional health" is health regarding emotions, "emotional crisis" is a crisis of emotion. But "emotional reports" doesn't necessarily mean reports about the topic of emotion; it means reports that are characterized by emotion. That leans towards sense 2. In many WordNet disambiguation tasks, sense 2 is the one for "emotional" when describing something that is full of emotion. Sense 3 is often used in compounds like "emotional state" etc. So I'll go with sense 2.

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