Target lemma: wait
Target surface form: waiting
Context:
KIM: I got home, let the dogs into the house and noticed some sounds above my head, as if someone were walking on the roof, or upstairs. Then I noticed the car was bouncing up and down as if someone were jumping on it. I realized what was happening and screamed into the house for the dogs. Cupboard doors were flying, the trash can in the kitchen walked a few feet, the dogs came running, and I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete. When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, <t>waiting</t> and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "waiting" in the given context. The target lemma is "wait", surface form "waiting". Context: KIM describes a frightening situation during an earthquake or something similar, and then she stood outside waiting and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering until he arrived.

We have four candidate senses:

1. sense_key=wait%2:42:00:: | definition=stay in one place and anticipate or expect something | examples=I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets
2. sense_key=wait%2:42:01:: | definition=wait before acting | synonyms=hold off, hold back | examples=the scientists held off announcing their results until they repeated the experiment
3. sense_key=wait%2:31:00:: | definition=look forward to the probable occurrence of | synonyms=expect, look, await | examples=We were expecting a visit from our relatives; She is looking to a promotion
4. sense_key=wait%2:41:00:: | definition=serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant | synonyms=waitress | examples=I'm waiting on tables at Maxim's

We need the best sense for "waiting" in this context. KIM is standing outside, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home. She is anticipating his arrival, staying there until he comes. The phrase "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home" suggests she is staying in one place while expecting his return. Sense 1 is "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something". That fits well: she stood out in front of the house, stayed there, expecting Merrill. Sense 3 is "look forward to the probable occurrence of" with synonyms expect, look, await. That also seems plausible because she is looking forward to his arrival. But note the distinction: Sense 1 emphasizes staying in one place while expecting; Sense 3 emphasizes the emotional aspect of looking forward, expecting. Both could apply, but the context says she "stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home". The physical action of standing there, waiting, aligns with staying in one place. Also, the example for sense 1 "wait on line" involves physically waiting. Sense 3 examples are about expecting a visit or looking to a promotion, more about anticipation that might not involve physical presence. In the narrative, she is physically standing outside waiting. Sense 2 is about delaying action, holding back. Not appropriate: she is not delaying; she wants him to come soon. Sense 4 is waitering, not applicable.

Between 1 and 3, sense 1 seems more direct because it explicitly includes staying in one place and anticipating, which fits the physical act of standing and waiting. Sense 3 "look forward to" might be more emotional, but the context includes both the physical and emotional. The phrase "waiting and praying" suggests she is actively waiting there. I think sense 1 is the best. Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We are asked to do Word Sense Disambiguation for "praying" in the given context. The candidate senses are provided: sense 1: addressing a deity, saying a prayer; sense 2: begging, imploring. The context: KIM is describing an earthquake experience, and she was "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home". She was frightened. In this context, "praying" likely means addressing a deity, seeking divine help or protection, rather than simply begging. She is not directly imploring Merrill, but praying for his safe return. Thus sense 1 is more appropriate.

reasoning_content:
We need to disambiguate "come" in the context: "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home". The target form is "come" and context is "come home". Let's look at the candidate senses.

Sense 1: move toward, travel toward something. Example: "Come with me to the Casbah". Synonyms: come up. That is general movement toward.

Sense 2: reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress. Synonyms: arrive, get. Example: "She arrived home at 7 o'clock". This fits "come home" perfectly. "Arrived home" is typical.

Sense 3: come to pass; arrive, as in due course. Example: "It came as a shock". Not about physically arriving.

Sense 4: reach or enter a state, relation, condition. Example: "We came to understand the true meaning of life". Not physical.

Sense 5: to be the product or result. Example: "Melons come from a vine". Not.

Sense 6: be found or available. Example: "These shoes come in three colors". Not.

Sense 7: come forth. Example: "A scream came from the woman's mouth". Not.

Sense 8: be a native of. "She hails from Kalamazoo". Not.

Sense 9: extend or reach. "The water came up to my waist". Not.

Sense 10: exist or occur in a certain point in a series. "Next came the student from France". Not.

Sense 11: cover a certain distance. "She came a long way". Not.

Sense 12: come under, be classified. Not.

Sense 13: happen as a result. "Nothing good will come of this". Not.

Sense 14: add up in number. Not.

Sense 15: develop into. Not.

Sense 16: be received. "News came in of the massacre". Not.

Sense 17: come to one's mind. Not.

Sense 18: come from; be connected by blood. Not.

Sense 19: proceed or get along. "How are you making out in graduate school?" Not.

Sense 20: experience orgasm. Definitely not.

Sense 21: have a certain priority. "My family comes first". Not.

So sense 2 is clearly the right one: reach a destination; arrive by movement. "Come home" = "arrive home". Context: "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home", i.e., arrive home. That's sense_key=come%2:38:04::.

Thus output: {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
We are given: Target lemma "home", target surface form "home" in context. The context is a narrative: KIM: "I got home, let the dogs into the house... I screamed into the house for the dogs... waiting and praying for Merrill to come <t>home</t>..." So the target is "come home." The candidate senses are listed with sense indices 1-9.

We need to choose the single best indexed sense. The context is clearly about a person (Merrill) coming back to the place where they live. The first line: "I got home, let the dogs into the house" indicates that "home" is the house where they live. Then later, she is waiting for Merrill to come home. So it's the same "home" — the physical place where they reside.

Now, look at the senses:

1. sense_key=home%1:15:04:: | definition=where you live at a particular time | synonyms=place | examples=deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to
   This seems to refer to the location where one lives, possibly temporary. "where you live at a particular time" suggests it could be a current residence. The examples support that.

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, the dwelling. "home" as a house.

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 about a larger region (country, state, city) rather than a specific residence.

4. baseball home plate.

5. a base for missions.

6. place where something began.

7. environment offering affection and security, like "home is where the heart is."

8. a social unit living together (family household).

9. an institution like nursing home.

In the context, "come home" clearly means return to the place where they live, the residence. It's not about a country or a nursing home. The narrator got home, let dogs into the house, saw things happening around the house. So it's the physical house/residence. Sense 1 and Sense 2 are both close. Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" with example "deliver the package to my home". Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" with example "he built a modest dwelling...". For "come home," it often implies the place one resides. The phrase "come home" is very standard for returning to one's dwelling. In WordNet, which sense is more appropriate? Sense 1 is labeled as "place" (noun.location? Actually %1:15:04:: likely location). Sense 2 is a type of housing (noun.artifact? %1:06:00:: likely artifact). The context emphasizes the physical house and events happening there. She got home, let dogs into the house, then waited for Merrill to come home. It's the same structure. So both 1 and 2 could work. But we need to choose the single best. In WordNet, "home" in "come home" typically maps to sense 1? Let's check examples: Sense 1 examples: "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to" – here "home" is destination. Sense 2 examples: "he built a modest dwelling near the pond; they raise money to provide homes for the homeless" – this is about the building itself. In "come home," the emphasis is on the location where one lives, not the physical construction. Often, WordNet aligns "home" in "come home" with sense 1 (the where-you-live sense). Also, note that sense 1 synonyms: place. So it's a location. Sense 2 synonyms: dwelling, domicile, abode. Abode is also a place where one lives. But sense 1 specifically says "where you live at a particular time" which fits. However, sense 2 definition: "housing that someone is living in" – that's the actual house. The context: "I got home, let the dogs into the house" – here "home" is essentially synonymous with "house" (the building). Then "come home" is coming back to that house. So both are plausible.

Which one is more typical? Let's think about the word "come home" in a corpus. In WordNet, "home" has multiple senses. The most frequent sense for "home" as a destination after going out is probably sense 1. For instance, in WordNet, sense 1 is the general location sense. Sense 2 is specifically the physical building. If someone says "I'm going home," it's ambiguous whether they mean the building or the location. But typically, WordNet would assign that to the location sense. I recall that in many WSD tasks, "home" as in "go home" is tagged with the "where you live" sense. Let's check the synsets: sense 1: hypernym probably "place", sense 2: hypernym "housing". In this narrative, she says "I got home, let the dogs into the house" – so "home" and "house" are used interchangeably. That might suggest sense 2, but it's also just the location. The phrase "come home" is more about arriving at one's place of residence. The examples for sense 1 include "deliver the package to my home" – that's the location as a destination. For sense 2, none of the examples show "come home". So I lean toward sense 1.

Additionally, sense 7 is "an environment offering affection and security" – but that's more abstract, not about a physical place in this context.

Thus, the best indexed sense is 1.

Let's double-check: The target sentence: "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home". Merrill is likely her partner, returning to their shared residence. It's the same place she "got home" to. So sense 1.

Hence, I'll output {"sense_index": 1}.

We are disambiguating the target word "got" in the sentence: "I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he <t>got</t> there."

The context: The narrator is waiting for Merrill to come home. The phrase is "until he got there." "Got" here is in the sense of arriving, reaching a destination. The clause "until he got there" means until he arrived at the home.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 5: reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress. Synonyms: arrive, come. Examples: "She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight." That fits perfectly: "got there" meaning "arrived there." This is a very common use of "get" to mean arrive.

Checking other possibilities:
- Sense 1: acquire, but he's not acquiring something, he's arriving.
- Sense 2: become, but he's not changing state.
- Sense 3: cause to move, but he's not causing anything.
- Sense 4: receive treatment, no.
- Sense 6: fetch, no.
- Sense 7: experience, no.
- Sense 9: achieve a point or goal, maybe, but that's more about scoring, not arriving at a location.
- Sense 14: communicate with, "got Mary" as in reached by phone, but here it's physical arrival, not communication.
- Others don't fit.

The best is sense 5: reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress. The example "She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight" is exactly like "get there". So sense 5 is correct.

Thus, the output is {"sense_index": 5}.

Cupboard doors were flying, the trash can in the kitchen walked a few feet, the dogs came running, and I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "life" in the sentence: "Never in my life have I been so frightened." The context describes a terrifying experience (an earthquake, it seems). The phrase "Never in my life" is an idiomatic expression meaning "in my entire existence up to now." So "life" here refers to the duration of one's existence, the period from birth to the present. Looking at the candidate senses:

Sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time" with examples: "I have known him all his life." That fits perfectly: "Never in my life" = in the period from my birth until now.

Other senses:
- Sense 5: "the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)" - lifetime. That could also be a candidate, but "in my life" used in this context typically means "in my experience so far," emphasizing the period up to now, not the entire lifetime (including future). Sense 6 is more specific to the past. The example "I have known him all his life" uses "life" to mean the period from birth until now. So sense 6 is the best.
- Sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - too broad.
- Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" - also could fit, but again, sense 6 is more precise for the temporal expression "in my life".
- Sense 4: "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - not temporal.
- Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" - no.
- Sense 7: "the period from the present until death" - opposite, not past.
- Sense 8: "a living person" - no.
- Sense 9: "animation and energy" - no.
- Sense 10: "living things collectively" - no.
- Sense 11: "organic phenomenon" - no.
- Sense 12: "biography" - no.
- Sense 13: "a motive for living" - no.
- Sense 14: "prison term" - no.

Thus, sense 6 is correct

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry." The context describes a frightening earthquake experience, and then the speaker sees pictures of the collapsed freeway (880) and the Bay Bridge and starts crying. The target is "saw". We need to pick the best sense from the candidate senses.

Let's analyze each candidate:

1. sense_key=see%2:39:00:: | definition=perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight | examples=You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?
This is literal visual perception. In the sentence, "saw the pictures" implies she looked at them and perceived them visually.

2. see%2:31:01:: | perceive (an idea or situation) mentally | synonyms=understand, realize, realise | Now I see!; I just can't see your point. This is metaphorical, like understanding. She saw the pictures and then cried, but the act of seeing the pictures is visual, not just understanding something mentally.

3. see%2:39:02:: | perceive or be contemporaneous with | synonyms=witness, find | We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school. This often implies being present at an event or experiencing something. She saw pictures after the fact, so she wasn't contemporaneous with the actual event; she saw images of it.

4. see%2:36:00:: | imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind | I can't see him on horseback!; I can see what will happen. Not applicable; she actually saw photographs.

5. see%2:31:00:: | deem to be | consider, reckon... She views this differently. Not applicable.

6. see%2:31:02:: | get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally | learn, hear... I learned that she has two grown-up children. She saw pictures, so she became aware of the damage, but it's visual.

7. see%2:39:03:: | see or watch | watch, view, catch, take in | view a show on television; This program will be seen all over the world. This is for watching something like a show. Seeing pictures might fit, but it's not a program.

8. see%2:38:00:: | come together | meet, run into... I'll probably see you at the meeting. Not applicable.

9. see%2:32:00:: | find out, learn, or determine with certainty... I want to see whether she speaks French. Not applicable.

10. see%2:31:03:: | be careful or certain to do something... See that the curtains are closed. Not applicable.

11. see%2:41:11:: | go to see for professional or business reasons | You should see a lawyer. Not applicable.

12. see%2:41:12:: | go to see for a social visit | I went to see my friend Mary. Not applicable.

13. see%2:41:10:: | go to see a place, as for entertainment | visit | We went to see the Eiffel Tower. Not applicable.

14. see%2:41:14:: | take charge of or deal with | attend, take care, look | Could you see about lunch? Not applicable.

15. see%2:35:09:: | receive as a specified guest | the doctor will see you now. Not applicable.

16. see%2:41:00:: | date regularly | go steady, go out, date. Not applicable.

17. see%2:39:05:: | see and understand, have a good eye | The artist must first learn to see. Not applicable.

18. see%2:31:08:: | deliberate or decide | See whether you can come tomorrow. Not applicable.

19. see%2:39:11:: | observe as if with an eye | The camera saw the burglary and recorded it. This is for mechanical/recording observation. The person saw pictures directly.

20. see%2:39:13:: | observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect | examine | The customs agent examined the baggage. Not really; she wasn't inspecting the pictures, she was just looking at them and reacting emotionally.

21. see%2:39:12:: | go or live through | experience, go through | he saw action in Vietnam. This is about living through events. She didn't live through the event by seeing pictures; she experienced the event earlier.

22. see%2:38:03:: | accompany or escort | I'll see you to the door. Not applicable.

23. see%2:33:00:: | match or meet | I saw the bet... Not applicable.

24. see%2:31:13:: | make sense of; assign a meaning to | interpret, construe | What message do you see in this letter? Not applicable.

The most straightforward sense is visual perception: sense 1. "perceive by sight". Seeing pictures is a classic example of visual perception.

Sense 3 (witness, find) might be tempting because she "witnessed" the aftermath through pictures, but "witness" often implies being present. The example "We found Republicans winning the offices" suggests coming across a situation. But here, "saw the pictures" is simply looking at them. Sense 1 is more direct.

Sense 6 (learn, become aware of) could apply: she learned about the damage by seeing pictures, but the verb "saw" with the direct object "pictures" strongly indicates visual perception. If it were "I saw that the bridge had collapsed," then sense 6 might work. But it's "saw the pictures."

Thus, sense 1 is best.

The answer should be a JSON with sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the context: a person describes an earthquake experience, then mentions seeing "pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge" and starting to cry. The target word is "pictures". We need to choose the best sense among the candidates.

Context: "When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry." Here, "pictures" likely refers to visual representations, probably photographs or news images of the damage to Interstate 880 and the Bay Bridge after an earthquake (this is likely the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake). So it's about seeing images of those locations.

Candidate senses:
1. general visual representation (image, icon) - could be, but broad.
2. painting - not likely, they are likely photographs or video.
3. mental picture - no, she's seeing actual pictures.
4. situation as observable object - not relevant.
5. illustrations in text - not indicated.
6. movie/film - possible if it's a news film, but she says "pictures" not a movie.
7. visible part of TV transmission - could be if watching TV, but the context doesn't specify TV.
8. verbal description - no, she saw something.
9. typical example - not relevant.
10. photograph/photo - this is very specific: a representation of a person or scene recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material. The context mentions "pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge" after a disaster, which are almost certainly photographs or news photos. This sense fits perfectly.

Sense 1 is "image, icon" which could include photographs, but sense 10 is explicitly "photograph, photo, exposure, pic". Since the context implies seeing actual images (likely photographs or video stills), sense 10 is the most precise. Sense 6 (movie/film) is less likely because "pictures" plural could refer to a movie (as in "motion pictures"), but the phrase "pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge" suggests still images rather than a film. Sense 7 (TV transmission) could be if she's watching TV, but still, "pictures" here likely refers to the photographic images themselves. Given the options, sense 10 is the best match.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 10}

10. sense_key=begin%2:32:04:: | definition=begin to speak, understand, read, and write a language... Not this.

Clearly, sense 1 is the best match: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" with example "We began working at dawn" – analogous to "began to cry".

So answer: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: cry
Target surface form: cry
Context:
Then I noticed the car was bouncing up and down as if someone were jumping on it. I realized what was happening and screamed into the house for the dogs. Cupboard doors were flying, the trash can in the kitchen walked a few feet, the dogs came running, and I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete. When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened. When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to <t>cry</t>. 5:09 a.m.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=cry%2:32:01:: | definition=utter a sudden loud cry | synonyms=shout, shout out, call, yell, scream, holler | examples=she cried with pain when the doctor inserted the needle; I yelled to her from the window but she couldn't hear me
2. sense_key=cry%2:29:00:: | definition=shed tears because of sadness, rage, or pain | synonyms=weep | examples=She cried bitterly when she heard the news of his death; The girl in the wheelchair wept with frustration when she could not get up the stairs
3. sense_key=cry%2:32:07:: | definition=utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy | synonyms=exclaim, cry out, outcry, call out, shout | examples=`I won!' he exclaimed; `Help!' she cried

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "cry" in the given context. Let's examine the context: The narrator describes a frightening experience (likely an earthquake, given references to 880 and the Bay Bridge). After seeing the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, she began to cry. The time is 5:09 a.m. The feeling is fear and relief. "Cry" here likely means shedding tears due to emotion (sadness, relief, etc.), not shouting or yelling. Looking at the senses:

1. utter a sudden loud cry (shout, yell) — not fitting, she's not shouting in pain or to get attention.
2. shed tears because of sadness, rage, or pain (weep) — fits perfectly: She was frightened, saw destruction, and began to cry (weep) from emotion.
3. utter aloud with surprise, horror, or joy (exclaim) — although it mentions horror, it refers to uttering words like "I won!" or "Help!", not just crying tears. The context doesn't indicate she exclaims anything.
4. proclaim or announce publicly — not relevant.
5. demand immediate action — no.
6. utter a characteristic sound (like a cat) — no.
7. bring into a particular state by crying — e.g., cried himself to sleep. Not relevant.

Thus, sense 2 is the clear choice.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "evening", surface form "evening", in the given context. The candidate senses are provided with index 1, 2, 3. We need to choose the single best indexed sense and return a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}.

Context: The text is: "When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened. When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry. 5:09 a.m. JROE: The Sunset -LCB- District -RCB- was more or less like a pajama party all <t>evening</t>, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer. 6:50 a.m."

The target word is "evening" in the phrase "all evening". The sentence is: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer." This is a report from 5:09 a.m. talking about the previous evening? Actually, the timestamp is 5:09 a.m., so it's early morning, and the description is about the evening before? Possibly an earthquake event? The context mentions 880 and Bay Bridge, so it's likely about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. People were outside in the evening after the quake. Here, "all evening" refers to the period from late afternoon until nightfall, or the early part of night? The candidate senses: sense 1: the latter part of the day (decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall). sense 2: a later concluding time period (figurative). sense 3: the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way. The example for sense 3 is "an evening at the opera", which suggests a social event. In the context, it's "all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer" – it describes a lively scene, like a pajama party. This is likely referring to the time period from late afternoon into the night, but the specific phrase "like a pajama party all evening" indicates a period of social activity. Sense 3 emphasizes "spent in a special way". The definition: "the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way". So if the evening was like a pajama party, it fits the idea of a special event during the evening. Sense 1 is more general: just the period of decreasing daylight. Sense 2 is metaphorical. Given the context, sense 3 seems most appropriate because the evening is characterized as a party-like atmosphere. Thus, I'll choose sense 3.

Answer: {"sense_index": 3}

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "people" with the context: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of <t>people</t> & dogs walking around, drinking beer." The target surface form is "people" within the sentence. We need to choose the best indexed sense among four options.

Let's analyze the context: It describes a scene in the Sunset District with lots of people and dogs walking around, drinking beer, like a pajama party. The word "people" here refers to a general group of human beings present in that area, not specifically citizens, family members, or the common people as a social class. Sense 1: "(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively" fits perfectly: it's a casual gathering of humans. Sense 2 refers to citizens of a state/country, which is too specific. Sense 3 refers to family line, not appropriate. Sense 4 refers to the common people generally (the masses), which has a political/social connotation, but the context is just a casual evening gathering, no indication of class distinction. Thus, sense 1 is best.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "dog" and target surface form "dogs" in context. The context is about an earthquake (likely the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, references to 880 and Bay Bridge). The sentence: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer." This is a narrative of what happened after the earthquake. "&" is likely "&" for "and". So "lots of people and dogs walking around". So "dogs" here plainly means the domestic animal. The sense that matches is sense 1: domestic dog. There is no indication it's a person (like "lucky dog" or "dirty dog") or a sausage or a mechanical part. So the best sense is 1.

I must return {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "walk_around" with surface form "walking around" in a context: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer." We have four candidate senses.

Let's analyze each sense:

Sense 1: "walk with no particular goal", synonyms: perambulate, walk about. Examples: "we were walking around in the garden; after breakfast, she walked about in the park." This implies a leisurely, aimless walking.

Sense 2: "walk around something", synonyms: circumambulate. This implies going around an object or obstacle, like circling something.

Sense 3: "behave in a certain manner or have certain properties", examples: "He walks around with his nose in the air; She walks around with this strange boyfriend." This sense is about manner of behavior, not literal walking.

Sense 4: "walk randomly", examples: "We were walking around in the neighborhood to see whether we could find an open drugstore." This implies wandering without a specific destination, often with a purpose like searching.

Context: "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer." This paints a picture of a casual, social gathering (pajama party). People are milling about, walking with no particular goal, just enjoying the evening. The phrase "walking around" here suggests leisurely, aimless strolling, similar to "perambulate" or "walk about." It's not about walking around something (sense 2) because there's no object mentioned. It's not about behaving in a certain manner (sense 3) because it's not describing a behavior or property, just the action of walking. Sense 4 "walk randomly" might seem close, but its example suggests a purposeful searching, like looking for a drugstore. The context here is a pajama party with people and dogs walking around and drinking beer, which is more about aimless enjoyment. Sense 1 fits perfectly: "walk with no particular goal", and the synonyms "walk about" match.

Thus, I'll choose sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "drink" and the surface form "drinking" in the context: "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer." The context describes a pajama party atmosphere with people and dogs walking around and drinking beer. This is clearly about consuming a beverage, specifically beer. The candidate senses are:
1. take in liquids (general)
2. consume alcohol
3. propose a toast
4. be fascinated (drink in)
5. drink excessively; be an alcoholic

The context says "drinking beer" which directly indicates consuming a liquid, and beer is an alcoholic beverage. Sense 2 is specifically "consume alcohol" with synonyms booze, fuddle, examples: "We were up drinking all night." Sense 1 is general "take in liquids" including non-alcoholic drinks. But here, beer is alcoholic, so sense 2 is more precise. The context doesn't indicate excessive drinking (sense 5) or a toast (sense 3). Sense 4 is irrelevant. So the best fit is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "sitting down" in the given context. The target lemma is "sit_down" and the surface form is "sitting down". Context: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy." This means the person was in the process of taking a seat or getting seated to begin the meeting. The phrase "sitting down to meet" suggests the action of taking a seat in preparation for the meeting.

Reviewing the candidate senses:
1. sit_down%2:38:00:: | definition=take a seat | synonyms=sit
2. sit_down%2:35:00:: | definition=show to a seat; assign a seat for | synonyms=seat, sit | examples=The host seated me next to Mrs. Smith
3. sit_down%2:35:03:: | definition=be seated | synonyms=sit

Sense 1: "take a seat" - this matches the action of the subject themselves taking a seat. The context: "I was just sitting down" suggests the person was in the act of sitting down, i.e., taking a seat. It is the standard meaning for "sit down" as an intransitive action performed by the subject.

Sense 2: "show to a seat; assign a seat for" - this is a transitive sense, where someone seats someone else. Example: "The host seated me next to Mrs. Smith." In the context, "I was just sitting down" does not have an object; it's intransitive. So sense 2 is not applicable.

Sense 3: "be seated" - this is stative, meaning to be in a seated position. But the phrase "I was just sitting down" suggests the inchoative action, not the state. The progressive "was sitting down" typically indicates the process of taking a seat, not the state of being seated. "Be seated" would be more like "I was sitting" or "I was seated." The phrase "sitting down to meet" implies the intent to seat oneself for the meeting, so it's an action.

Thus, sense 1 "take a seat" is the best match. It is the verb that denotes the action of lowering oneself onto a seat. Sense 3 "be seated" is static, but the context shows a dynamic action with the progressive aspect and the purpose infinitive "to meet". So index 1.

Answer: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "meet" in the context: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy." So "meet" here is part of "meet with" meaning to have a meeting or session with clients. The clients are new therapy clients, so it's a professional meeting. The phrase "meet with" suggests a planned meeting for a specific purpose. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: come together (run into, encounter) - this is more casual, like bumping into someone. The context is planned, so not this.

2. sense 2: get together socially or for a specific purpose (get together) - this fits "meet with" for a specific purpose (therapy session). The example doesn't show "meet with" but the definition includes "for a specific purpose". This seems plausible.

3. sense 3: be adjacent or come together (converge) - not about people meeting.

4. sense 4: fill or meet a want or need - not relevant.

5. sense 5: satisfy a condition or restriction - not relevant.

6. sense 6: satisfy or fulfill (match, cope with) - not relevant.

7. sense 7: collect in one place (gather, assemble) - not exactly, it's a planned meeting.

8. sense 8: get to know; get acquainted with - these are new clients, so she might be meeting them for the first time, but the phrase "meet with ... clients" suggests a professional meeting, not just introductory acquaintance. Still, sense 8 includes "we met in Singapore", which is about initial acquaintance. But the context emphasizes sitting down to meet with them as clients, so it's a session, not just a first introduction. It could be a first meeting, but the sense "get to know" might apply. However, "meet with" often implies a business meeting. Sense 8 is more about social acquaintance.

9. sense 9: meet by design; be present at the arrival of (e.g., meet at the train station) - this is about picking someone up, not a therapy session.

10. sense 10: contend against an opponent - not relevant.

11. sense 11: experience as a reaction - not relevant.

12. sense 12: undergo or suffer - not relevant.

13. sense 13: be in direct physical contact with - not relevant.

The best fit is sense 2: get together socially or for a specific purpose. The phrase "meet with" matches this sense. Sense 8 is possible but less likely because "meet with" is not used for initial acquaintance; it's more for a planned gathering. The example in sense 2 is just "get together", but the definition explicitly says "for a specific purpose". So I'll go with sense 2.
