Context:
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 <t>died</t>. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection.

We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for the word "died" in the provided context. The senses are numbered 1 through 11. We'll analyze the context:

"By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. ... Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection."

So the landlord died from a fall. The context is clearly about the landlord's physical death. Sense 1: "pass from physical life and lose all bodily attributes and functions necessary to sustain life". That matches perfectly. Synonyms: decease, perish, go, exit, pass away, expire. Examples: "She died from cancer; The children perished in the fire."

Other senses involve figurative death, spiritual death, emotional death, mechanical failure, etc. None fit the context of a person physically dying from a fall.

Thus, the best sense is 1.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "afternoon" in the context: "Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection." The context clearly refers to a time of day, specifically the part of the day between noon and evening. Sense 1 matches this definition. Sense 2 is a greeting or farewell expression, which doesn't fit here. Therefore, the correct sense index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "seem" and surface form "seemed". The context is: "Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection." Here, "it seemed" is used parenthetically to indicate that the information is based on what appears to be true or what people think happened. The sense is about something appearing to be the case based on evidence or reports. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=seem%2:39:00:: : definition="give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect", synonyms=look, appear, examples: "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem". This is about direct impression from observation. Example: She seems to be sleeping (she looks like she is sleeping). In the context, "it seemed" is not about outward aspect of a person or thing, but about a conclusion drawn from circumstances.

2. sense_key=seem%2:39:01:: : definition="seem to be true, probable, or apparent", synonyms=appear, examples: "It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad". This is typically used with "it seems that..." to express that something is apparently true. In the context, "it seemed" is used parenthetically: "Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen..." This is equivalent to "It seems that late that afternoon he had fallen..." So it matches this sense perfectly. It indicates that based on what is known or reported, it appears to be true.

3. sense_key=seem%2:42:00:: : definition="appear to exist", examples: "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now". This is about existence or non-existence of something, like reason, doubt, etc. It doesn't fit here because it's not about existence but about an event happening.

4. sense_key=seem%2:39:02:: : definition="appear to one's own mind or opinion", examples: "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters". This is about personal perception or difficulty, often with "I seem". Not applicable here.

Therefore, sense 2 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for the target word "fallen" in the given context. The context: "The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had <t>fallen</t> off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection." This clearly describes a person falling off a roof, which resulted in his death. So the sense is about physically dropping from a height under gravity. Let's look at the candidates:

1. sense_key=fall%2:38:03:: | definition=descend in free fall under the influence of gravity | examples=The branch fell from the tree; The unfortunate hiker fell into a crevasse. This fits perfectly: he fell off the roof, descending in free fall under gravity.

2. sense_key=fall%2:38:00:: | definition=move downward and lower, but not necessarily all the way | synonyms=descend, go down, come down | examples=The temperature is going down; The barometer is falling. This is more about gradual decrease, not a sudden drop from a height.

3. sense_key=fall%2:30:08:: | definition=pass suddenly and passively into a state of body or mind | examples=fall into a trap; She fell ill. Not applicable.

4. sense_key=fall%2:42:03:: | definition=come under, be classified or included. Not.

5. sense_key=fall%2:43:00:: | definition=fall from clouds (precipitation). No.

6. suffer defeat. No.

7. die, as in battle or in a hunt. While he died, it's not the meaning of "fallen"; it's the result of the fall.

8. touch visually (light). No.

9. be captured. No.

10. occur at a specified time. No.

11. decrease in size. No.

12. yield to temptation. No.

13. lose office. No.

14. to be given by assignment. No.

15. move in a specified direction. Not specific enough; it's about falling, not just moving.

16. be due payments. No.

17. lose chastity. No.

18. given by inheritance. No.

19. come into possession. No.

20. fall to someone by lot. No.

21. be inherited by. No.

22. slope downward. Not about a person.

23. lose an upright position suddenly | synonyms=fall down | examples=The vase fell over... Her hair fell across her forehead. This also seems relevant. He fell off the roof, losing his upright position. However, sense 1 is more specific to falling under gravity, while sense 23 is about toppling or dropping from an upright position. The phrase "fallen off the roof" implies he lost his balance and dropped off the roof, which is a free fall under gravity. Sense 1's examples: "The branch fell from the tree; The unfortunate hiker fell into a crevasse" are very similar. Sense 23 is more about falling over from an upright stance, often on the same level (like a vase falling over). He fell *off* the roof, which implies a descent through the air. So sense 1 is more precise.

24. drop oneself to a lower position (e.g., fall back in a chair). Not.

25. fall or flow in a certain way (hang). No.

26. assume a disappointed expression. No.

27. be cast down (eyes). No.

28. come out; issue (phrases). No.

29. be born (lambs). No.

30. begin vigorously. No.

31. go as if by falling. No.

32. come as if by falling (night). No.

Therefore, the best is sense 1.

Sense 3 is for inner top surfaces like a cave or mouth, not relevant. Sense 4 is figurative (upper limit), not relevant. So the answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the lemma "obscure" (adjective) in the given context. The target surface form is "obscure". The context sentence: "Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection." We need to choose the best sense among six candidate senses.

Let's analyze the context: The landlord was on the roof, doing some errand or inspection, and fell off. The errand is described as "obscure". What does "obscure" mean here? The errand is not clearly specified; it's unclear what exactly he was doing. It might be hard to understand or not well-known. But the sense should capture that the errand was not clearly identified or perhaps mysterious.

Now examine each sense:

1. sense_key=obscure%5:00:00:unclear:00 | definition=not clearly understood or expressed | synonyms=vague | examples=an obscure turn of phrase; an impulse to go off and fight certain obscure battles of his own spirit
   This sense means "vague, not clearly expressed or understood". The example "an obscure turn of phrase" suggests language that is unclear. But in the context, "obscure errand" might mean the purpose of the errand was not clearly known or perhaps not readily apparent. This could fit: the errand was unclear to others.

2. sense_key=obscure%5:00:00:incomprehensible:00 | definition=marked by difficulty of style or expression | synonyms=dark | examples=much that was dark is now quite clear to me; those who do not appreciate Kafka's work say his style is obscure
   This sense is about difficult style, specifically "marked by difficulty of style or expression". It's often used for artistic works, writing, etc. The example mentions Kafka's style. "obscure errand" doesn't fit this because an errand doesn't have a style or expression.

3. sense_key=obscure%5:00:00:concealed:00 | definition=difficult to find | synonyms=hidden | examples=hidden valleys; a hidden cave
   This sense means hidden, hard to find. An obscure errand could be one that is hidden? That doesn't quite fit. The errand itself isn't a physical object that is hidden. It might be that the errand was not publicly known, but that's more about being unknown, not physically hidden. The examples are physical hiding.

4. sense_key=obscure%5:00:00:inglorious:00 | definition=not famous or acclaimed | synonyms=unknown, unsung | examples=an obscure family; unsung heroes of the war
   This sense is about lack of fame or acclaim. An "obscure errand" would mean an errand that is not famous? Unlikely. While the errand might be unknown, but it's not about fame.

5. sense_key=obscure%5:00:00:inconspicuous:00 | definition=not drawing attention | synonyms=unnoticeable | examples=an unnoticeable cigarette burn on the carpet; an obscure flaw
   This sense means not noticeable, inconspicuous. An obscure flaw is a flaw that doesn't draw attention. An obscure errand might be one that was not noticed? Possibly, the errand was not one that drew attention; he might have been doing something quietly. But the context doesn't emphasize lack of attention; it just says "some obscure errand". It's unclear why he was on the roof. So the errand's purpose is unclear.

6. sense_key=obscure%5:00:00:unconnected:00 | definition=remote and separate physically or socially | synonyms=apart, isolated | examples=existed over the centuries as a world apart; preserved because they inhabited a place apart
   This sense means isolated or remote. "obscure errand" could not mean isolated errand; it would be odd.

Between sense 1 (vague, not clearly expressed or understood) and sense 5 (not drawing attention, unnoticeable). The key is that the errand is described as "obscure" meaning its nature was unclear. The other tenants are talking excitedly about the death; the landlord was on the roof for some unknown reason. So the sense of "not clearly understood or expressed" fits well. Sense 1 definition: "not clearly understood or expressed" and synonym "vague". The errand was vague, they didn't know what he was doing. Also the example "an impulse to go off and fight certain obscure battles of his own spirit" uses "obscure" to mean unclear or not well-defined. That aligns.

Sense 5 would emphasize that the errand didn't draw attention, but the context is more about the ambiguity of the errand, not its inconspicuousness. So sense 1 is best.

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

Target lemma: witness
Target surface form: witnessed
Context:
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. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody <t>witnessed</t> the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for "witnessed" in context. The senses are:

1. sense_key=witness%2:39:00:: | definition=be a witness to | examples=She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court
2. sense_key=witness%2:39:01:: | definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | synonyms=find, see | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school

Context: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement..."

The sense 1 emphasizes being a witness, possibly with legal implications of testifying. Sense 2 is more about perceiving or being present for an event, with synonyms like "find, see". In this context, "witnessed the fall" means nobody saw the fall happen. It's simply observing an event. There's no legal context; it's about direct perception. Sense 2 fits better with "perceive or be contemporaneous with", as in "see". The example for sense 1 includes testifying in court, which isn't relevant here. Sense 2's synonyms "find, see" match the everyday observation. So sense 2 is correct.

Thus: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "fall" as a noun, context about a landlord falling off a roof. The blank is "...the <t>fall</t> -- just the sickening impact...". So it refers to the act of falling, a sudden drop. Looking at senses: sense 2: "a sudden drop from an upright position" with synonyms spill, tumble, example: he had a nasty spill on the ice. Sense 11: "a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity" with synonym drop, example: survived the drop from that height. Sense 2 is specifically about a person falling from an upright position, while sense 11 is more general about any free fall. The context says "he had fallen off the roof", which is a drop from a height, an accidental fall. Both could fit, but sense 2 mentions "spill" which is often used for a fall from a standing position, not necessarily from a roof. Sense 11's example "survived the drop from that height" matches a fall from a roof. Also note that the context emphasizes the impact and the body smashing, so gravity's force is involved. However, sense 11 is "free and rapid descent by the force of gravity", which is exactly falling from a roof. Sense 2 might be more for tripping and falling. The gloss for sense 2 is "a sudden drop from an upright position" which could include falling off a roof if he was standing on it. But the example "spill" often implies slipping. The best match is likely sense 11: "a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity". The word "fall" in "the fall" refers to the event of falling. So I'll choose sense 11.

reasoning_content: We are asked to disambiguate the word "impact" in context. The context is about a man falling from a roof and the sound of his body hitting the pavement. The phrase: "just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement." This clearly refers to the striking of one body against another, i.e., the physical collision. Sense 1: "the striking of one body against another" fits perfectly. Sense 2 is about a forceful consequence or effect, which is more abstract. Sense 3 is about influencing strongly, like cultural impingement. Sense 4 is about violent interaction in combat. So sense 1 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for "smashed" (surface form: smashed; lemma: smash) in the given context. We have 10 candidate senses. The context: "the sickening impact when his body <t>smashed</t> on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." So we have a body smashing on the pavement. The body of the landlord who fell off the roof.

Let's examine the senses:

1. hit hard (sports, e.g., He smashed a 3-run homer) - not a body hitting pavement.
2. break into pieces, as by striking or knocking over (Smash a plate) - breaking something into pieces. But here "smashed on the pavement" – the body is hitting the pavement, likely breaking bones, but it's not about breaking a plate.
3. reduce to bankruptcy - no.
4. hit violently (She smashed her car against the guard rail) - This is about hitting something violently. "smashed her car against" – similar structure, but here "his body smashed on the pavement" – the body is the object doing the smashing? Or the body is the subject? Wait: "the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement" – here "smashed" is intransitive? "body smashed on the pavement" – the body smashed into/on the pavement. It's like colliding violently. Sense 8: collide or strike violently and suddenly (e.g., The motorcycle smashed into the guard rail). That seems perfect: the body smashes into the pavement. But note the surface form is "smashed on the pavement". Could be "smash into" but "smash on" might just be a variation.

5. humiliate or depress completely - no.
6. damage or destroy as if by violence (bang up, smash up) - usually transitive: "banged up the car". But here it's intransitive: "body smashed on the pavement". Could it be passive? Actually "body smashed" could be intransitive (sense 10: break suddenly into pieces, from a violent blow: The window smashed). But "The window smashed" means the window itself broke into pieces. Here "his body smashed on the pavement" – the body isn't breaking into pieces like a window; it's hitting the pavement. Sense 10 says "break suddenly into pieces". Sense 2 says "break into pieces, as by striking or knocking over" – transitive. Sense 10 is intransitive: break suddenly into pieces.

But in the context, the body hitting pavement – it might be a violent collision, so sense 8: collide or strike violently and suddenly. Example: "The motorcycle smashed into the guard rail." Our context: "his body smashed on the pavement" – preposition "on" instead of "into", but that's likely similar. Also sense 4: hit violently (transitive: She smashed her car against the guard rail). That's transitive with object. Here, "his body smashed" is intransitive. So sense 8 seems better.

Let's check synonyms/examples for each:
Sense 1: hit hard (nail, boom, blast) - sports.
Sense 2: break into pieces (dash) - transitive, smash a plate.
Sense 3: bankruptcy.
Sense 4: hit violently (transitive: She smashed her car against...)
Sense 5: crush emotionally.
Sense 6: damage or destroy as if by violence (bang up, smash up) - transitive.
Sense 7: tennis overhead stroke.
Sense 8: collide or strike violently and suddenly (intransitive/transitive? "The motorcycle smashed into the guard rail" - intransitive with preposition).
Sense 9: overthrow/destroy (police smashed drug ring).
Sense 10: break suddenly into pieces (intransitive: The window smashed).

So the intransitive uses are sense 8 and sense 10. Sense 10 is about breaking into pieces (like a window). A body falling onto pavement likely doesn't "break into pieces" (maybe bones break, but the body as a whole doesn't shatter like glass). It's more of a violent impact/collision. So sense 8: "collide or strike violently and suddenly." That matches "body smashed on the pavement" – the body collided violently with the pavement. So I think sense 8 is the best.

But wait: sense 8's example uses "into". Here it's "on". Could it be sense 4: "hit violently" but intransitive? No, sense 4 is transitive. Sense 4: "She smashed her car against the guard rail." That is transitive; the subject smashes something. Our sentence: "his body smashed on the pavement" – subject is body, it smashes on the pavement, no direct object. So it's intransitive. So sense 8 is the only intransitive collision sense. Sense 10 is intransitive breaking into pieces. I'll go with sense 8.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 8}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "pavement" in context. The context: "when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." This is a typical use of "pavement" to mean the hard surface of a street or sidewalk. In the context, the fall was from the roof onto the ground outside a building. "Pavement" here refers to the hard surface (likely concrete or asphalt) of the ground. Synonyms: "paving" (sense 1), "paving material" (sense 2), and "sidewalk" (sense 3). Sense 1: "the paved surface of a thoroughfare" - that is, the surface itself. Sense 2 is "material used to pave an area" (like asphalt), but the sentence says "smashed on the pavement", not "smashed on the paving material". Sense 3 is specifically "sidewalk", a paved area for pedestrians beside a street. The context says "just outside the basement delivery entrance." That might be a sidewalk or just a paved area. It might be a thoroughfare for deliveries, so sense 1 "paved surface of a thoroughfare" seems broad enough. Sense 3 "sidewalk" is also possible, but it's more specific to pedestrian walkways beside a street. The delivery entrance might not be a sidewalk, but a paved area. Usually "pavement" without further context typically means the paved surface of a road or street, but it can also mean sidewalk. In American English, "pavement" often means the road surface, while in British English, it means the sidewalk. The sense 3 is explicitly "sidewalk", which is one kind of pavement. However, the sentence does not specify it's a sidewalk; it's "just outside the basement delivery entrance." That could be a paved road or alley. I'd lean towards sense 1 as the more general "paved surface of a thoroughfare". Let's check the senses:
- sense 1: paved surface of a thoroughfare (synonym: paving)
- sense 2: material
- sense 3: sidewalk

The impact on pavement suggests the surface, not the material. Sidewalk is a specific type, but the delivery entrance might be on a road or driveway. Without explicit "sidewalk", I'd go for sense 1. The phrase "pavement" just after "smashed on the" refers to the hard ground. Usually, in WordNet, the first sense for pavement is the surface, the second is material, and the third is sidewalk. The context: "fell off the roof ... smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." That sounds like a concrete area outside a building, possibly a walkway or a paved area. It could be a sidewalk if it's a pedestrian area. But delivery entrance implies a place where deliveries are made, so it might be a driveway or road. So I'd pick sense 1 as the most likely.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to choose the best sense for "basement" in the context. The context is: "the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." The target word is "basement". The two candidate senses:

2. the ground floor facade or interior in Renaissance architecture

Clearly, sense 1 fits the context: a basement delivery entrance is a common feature in buildings where the basement is partly or wholly below ground, used for storage or deliveries. Sense 2 is a specialized architectural term referring to a specific style, which doesn't fit. So the best sense is sense 1. Return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "delivery" in the given context. The context is:

"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. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone.

Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks."

The target word is "delivery" and it appears in the phrase "basement delivery entrance". We need to choose the best sense from the candidates.

Let's examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=delivery%1:04:04:: | definition: the act of delivering or distributing something (as goods or mail) | synonyms: bringing | examples: his reluctant delivery of bad news.

2. sense_key=delivery%1:11:00:: | the event of giving birth | examples: she had a difficult delivery

3. sense_key=delivery%1:10:00:: | your characteristic style or manner of expressing yourself orally | synonyms: manner of speaking, speech | examples: his manner of speaking was quite abrupt; her speech was barren of southernisms

4. sense_key=delivery%1:04:01:: | the voluntary transfer of something (title or possession) from one party to another | synonyms: livery, legal transfer

5. sense_key=delivery%1:04:03:: | (baseball) the act of throwing a baseball by a pitcher to a batter | synonyms: pitch

6. sense_key=delivery%1:04:00:: | recovery or preservation from loss or danger | synonyms: rescue, deliverance, saving | examples: work is the deliverance of mankind; a surgeon's job is the saving of lives

7. sense_key=delivery%1:04:02:: | the act of delivering a child | synonyms: obstetrical delivery

Now, in the context, "basement delivery entrance" refers to an entrance where deliveries (of goods, mail, etc.) are made. This is a common term: a delivery entrance is where goods are delivered, often to a building's basement. The word "delivery" here clearly refers to the act of delivering goods or items. That matches sense 1: "the act of delivering or distributing something (as goods or mail)".

Sense 2 is about giving birth, not relevant. Sense 3 is about manner of speaking, not relevant. Sense 4 is legal transfer of title/possession; while it could be a "delivery" in a legal sense, a "delivery entrance" is not about transferring title but physical delivery. Sense 5 is baseball pitching. Sense 6 is rescue/saving, not relevant. Sense 7 is about delivering a child (obstetrical), not relevant.

Thus, the best sense is sense 1.

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

Context:
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. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery <t>entrance</t>. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "entrance" in the given context. The target word is in the phrase "basement delivery entrance". Let's analyze the context: "the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance". This refers to a physical location: a place where one enters, specifically a delivery entrance at the basement level. It is a physical access point.

Now, looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=entrance%1:06:00:: | definition: something that provides access (to get in or get out) | synonyms: entranceway, entryway, entry, entree | examples: they waited at the entrance to the garden; beggars waited just outside the entryway to the cathedral

2. sense_key=entrance%1:11:00:: | definition: a movement into or inward | synonyms: entering

3. sense_key=entrance%1:04:00:: | definition: the act of entering | synonyms: entering, entry, ingress, incoming | examples: she made a grand entrance

The context clearly refers to a physical entrance: a delivery entrance is a place where deliveries are made, an access point. Sense 1 matches that: "something that provides access". Senses 2 and 3 refer to the act or movement of entering, which doesn't fit here because "basement delivery entrance" is a location, not an act. The phrase "just outside the basement delivery entrance" indicates a place.

Thus, the best sense is 1.

Now, return JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the sense of "noticed" in the given context. The target lemma is "notice", and the surface form is "noticed". The context: Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks.

We need to choose among four candidate senses:

1. sense_key=notice%2:39:04:: | definition: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | synonyms: detect, observe, find, discover | examples: She detected high levels of lead...; We found traces...

2. sense_key=notice%2:39:00:: | definition: notice or perceive | synonyms: mark, note | examples: She noted that someone was following her; mark my words

3. sense_key=notice%2:32:00:: | definition: make or write a comment on | synonyms: comment, remark, point out | examples: he commented the paper...

4. sense_key=notice%2:32:01:: | definition: express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with | synonyms: acknowledge | examples: He never acknowledges his colleagues...

In the sentence: "Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks." The meaning is that Haney hoped that nobody perceived or observed his sudden paleness. He didn't want anyone to see his reaction. It is about visual perception or becoming aware of something. So sense 2 (notice or perceive) seems fitting. Sense 1 is about discovering or determining the existence of something, often through investigation or careful observation. Here, it's simply noticing (seeing) the pallor. Sense 3 is about commenting, which isn't the case. Sense 4 is about acknowledging someone's presence, not applicable.

Thus, sense 2 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for "felt" in the context: "Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks." The target word is "felt", lemma "feel". We need to pick the best sense from the list of 13 candidate senses.

Let's analyze the context: "as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks". Here, "felt" is used with a direct object clause: "the blood drain from his cheeks". He is experiencing a physical sensation: the sensation of blood draining from his cheeks, which is a physical feeling (presumably a cold or tingling sensation as blood leaves the face). He is perceiving this physical change in his body. The phrase "blood drain from his cheeks" indicates a physical process that he feels.

Now, examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=feel%2:37:00::: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind", synonyms=experience, examples: "She felt resentful", "He felt regret". This is about emotional states, not physical sensation of blood draining.

2. sense_key=feel%2:31:00::: "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds", synonyms=find, examples: "I feel that he doesn't like me". This is about a cognitive/intuitive belief, not physical sensation.

3. sense_key=feel%2:39:00::: "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles", synonyms=sense, examples: "He felt the wind", "She felt an object brushing her arm". This sense is about perceiving external physical stimuli through touch/sensation. The example "He felt the wind" is an external sensation. Here, he feels his blood draining, which is an internal physical sensation. This might fit, but note the blood draining is internal, not from skin contact with an external object. However, the definition says "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles". Blood draining might be felt as a sensation inside the body, perhaps not strictly from skin. But this sense often applies to tactile perception of external things.

4. sense_key=feel%2:29:00::: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state", examples: "My cold is gone--I feel fine today", "She felt tired after the long hike". This sense is about being aware of one's own state. "She felt tired" - tired is a physical/mental state. Here, "felt the blood drain from his cheeks" is being conscious of a physical change in his body. The phrase describes a process, but the feeling is the awareness of that physical state. This might be a good fit.

5. sense_key=feel%2:31:01::: "have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude", examples: "She felt small and insignificant", "You make me feel naked". This is about a feeling in reaction to others' behavior, not relevant here.

6. sense_key=feel%2:39:01::: "undergo passive experience of:", examples: "We felt the effects of inflation", "her fingers felt their way through the string quartet". This seems about experiencing effects, not a direct physical sensation. "We felt the effects of inflation" is more abstract. Not a good fit.

7. sense_key=feel%2:42:00::: "be felt or perceived in a certain way", examples: "The ground feels shaky", "The sheets feel soft". This is about the object being perceived as having a quality, not about the subject feeling something. "The ground feels shaky" means the ground gives the sensation of being shaky. Here, the subject is feeling something, not the object being felt.

8. sense_key=feel%2:39:10::: "grope or feel in search of something", examples: "He felt for his wallet". This is an action of searching by touch, not applicable.

9. sense_key=feel%2:35:00::: "examine by touch", synonyms=finger, examples: "Feel this soft cloth!". Active touching, not feeling a bodily process.

10. sense_key=feel%2:35:01::: "examine (a body part) by palpation", synonyms=palpate, examples: "The nurse palpated the patient's stomach". Medical examination, not applicable.

11. sense_key=feel%2:40:00::: "find by testing or cautious exploration", examples: "He felt his way around the dark room". Moving cautiously, not applicable.

12. sense_key=feel%2:39:09::: "produce a certain impression", examples: "It feels nice to be home again". Impersonal "it feels", not subject feeling.

13. sense_key=feel%2:35:11::: "pass one's hands over the sexual organs of", not applicable.

Now, between sense 3 and sense 4, we need to decide. Sense 3: "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles". The example "He felt the wind" is perceiving something external. Sense 4: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state". The example "She felt tired after the long hike" is being aware of an internal state. Feeling blood draining from one's cheeks is a perception of an internal bodily change. It's like feeling a chill or feeling one's heart beat. It's being conscious of a physical state. Moreover, the context says "his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks" - he is noticing the sensation of blood leaving his face, which is akin to feeling a physical state (like feeling faint, feeling a cold sensation). The direct object is a clause "the blood drain from his cheeks", but the verb "feel" often takes a clause to express awareness. For example, "I felt my heart racing" - that is awareness of a physical state. In WordNet, "feel" with a clause to indicate a bodily process is likely sense 4. I recall that in WordNet, sense 4 is "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" and it often takes an adjective or clause. Example: "I feel fine" (adjective), "She felt tired" (adjective). But it can also take a clause: "I felt my heart sink" would be similar. Sense 3 typically takes a noun phrase: "She felt an object brushing her arm" is a noun phrase ("an object brushing her arm" is a noun phrase with a participle). "the blood drain from his cheeks" is a clause with an infinitive or bare infinitive? Actually, it's "felt the blood drain": "drain" is a bare infinitive. This construction is common for sense 4? Let's check examples for sense 4: the examples given are "My cold is gone--I feel fine today" and "She felt tired after the long hike". Both are adjectives. But sense 4 definition says "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state". "The blood drain from his cheeks" is not an adjectival state, it's a process. But it could be considered a physical state awareness. Sense 3 examples include "He felt the wind" (simple noun) and "She felt an object brushing her arm" (noun phrase with participle). That is similar: "an object brushing her arm" is like "the blood draining from his cheeks". So "feel" + noun phrase + present participle? In the sentence, it's "felt the blood drain" - drain is bare infinitive, not participle. "Blood drain" is like "he felt the blood drain" (drain as infinitive). Some might say "he felt the blood draining", but here it's "drain". So it's a clause: "he felt [the blood drain from his cheeks]" where "the blood drain..." is a small clause. This pattern is typical of sense 4 when expressing a state change. However, WordNet's sense 4 may not explicitly show that pattern. Let's check the WordNet 3.0 definitions to be sure. In WordNet, the synset for sense 4 is "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state". Its examples include "My cold is gone--I feel fine today" and "She felt tired after the long hike". It also lists similar to "feel like" etc. But it often takes adjectives. Sense 3: "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles". Its examples: "He felt the wind", "She felt an object brushing her arm". The object can be a noun or a noun phrase with a present participle. "the blood drain" is noun + bare infinitive, which is slightly different. In English, verbs like "feel" can take a bare infinitive after a noun: "I felt the ground shake". Is that sense 3 or 4? "I felt the ground shake" is perceiving a physical sensation, so sense 3. In that case, "shake" is a bare infinitive. So "felt the blood drain" is directly analogous to "felt the ground shake": perceiving a physical event. Therefore, I think sense 3 is a better fit: perceiving by physical sensation the blood draining. It's like feeling a change in the body, but it's still a direct physical sensation. The distinction between sense 3 and sense 4: sense 4 is "be conscious of a state", like feeling happy, tired, fine. Sense 3 is perceiving a sensation from skin/muscles. Feeling blood draining is a sensation, likely from the skin (pallor, coldness). So I'd lean toward sense 3.

Let's double-check the examples: Under feel%2:39:00:: (sense 3), the examples are "He felt the wind" and "She felt an object brushing her arm". Both involve perceiving an external stimulus. "He felt the wind" is external, "She felt an object brushing her arm" is an external object touching her. The blood draining is internal, but it might still be considered a physical sensation coming from the body (skin/muscles). However, it's not an external object; it's an internal physiological process. That might lean toward sense 4 if it's about being conscious of a physical state. But note that sense 4 often uses adjectives or "like" constructions. There is a related sense: "feel" meaning to perceive a physical change can be ambiguous. Looking at other dictionaries: Merriam-Webster has "to perceive by touch" (sense 3) and "to be conscious of an inward impression, state of mind, or physical condition" (sense 4). The example "I feel sick" is sense 4. "I feel a pain in my side" - would that be sense 3 or 4? In WordNet, "feel a pain" might be sense 3 because you're perceiving a specific physical sensation. I recall a typical WSD task: "He felt a sharp pain" -> sense feel%2:39:00:: (perceive by physical sensation). So "the blood drain from his cheeks" is like feeling a sensation (the sensation of blood leaving, likely a cold, tingling sensation). So it's more like perceiving a distinct physical sensation. I'll go with sense 3.

But there's also a possibility that it could be sense 4. Let's examine the example for sense 4: "My cold is gone--I feel fine today", "She felt tired after the long hike". These are states. Feeling the blood drain is more an event perception. So sense 3.

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense 3. The sense_index is 3 (1-indexed from the list). So answer: {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks." The target word is "blood". We need to choose the correct sense from the given list.

Sense 1: fluid in vertebrates, pumped by the heart, with examples about blood carrying oxygen and nutrients, and the ancient belief that blood was the seat of emotions.

Sense 2: temperament or disposition, e.g., "a person of hot blood". This is a metaphorical extension.

Sense 3: a dissolute man (obsolete or archaic), synonyms: rake, rakehell, etc.

Sense 4: descendants, lineage.

Sense 5: people viewed as members of a group, as in "new young blood".

In the context, "blood drain from his cheeks" refers to the physical blood leaving his face, causing paleness. This is a literal or semi-literal use: blood as the bodily fluid. The phrase "blood drain from his cheeks" is a common expression for going pale due to shock or fear, but it still refers to the physical blood. It's not about temperament (sense 2), nor about a person (sense 3), nor about lineage (sense 4) or group (sense 5). Sense 1 includes the note about blood being the seat of emotions, but in the context, it's about the actual fluid leaving the cheeks. So sense 1 is the best match.

Thus, index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "drain" and the target surface form "drain" in the context: "He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator." Wait, the actual context with the target word is: "Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood <t>drain</t> from his cheeks." So the phrase is "felt the blood drain from his cheeks". This is a common expression where blood seems to flow away or leave the cheeks, often due to shock or fear. The blood is not being actively drained by someone; it's a physiological reaction where blood leaves the face. So the sense is about flowing off or running out. Looking at the candidates:

1. sense_key=drain%2:38:00:: | definition=flow off gradually | synonyms=run out | examples=The rain water drains into this big vat. This matches: blood flowing off/away from the cheeks. It's intransitive: the blood drains (from his cheeks). The example shows water draining into a vat, similar movement of liquid.

2. sense_key=drain%2:34:00:: | definition=deplete of resources | examples=The exercise class drains me of energy. This is transitive, and involves depleting energy, not liquid. Not fitting.

3. sense_key=drain%2:30:01:: | definition=empty of liquid; drain the liquid from | examples=We drained the oil tank. Transitive, active removal of liquid. Here, no one is actively draining the blood; it's happening on its own. So not this.

4. sense_key=drain%2:30:04:: | definition=make weak | synonyms=enfeeble, debilitate | examples=Life in the camp drained him. This is metaphorical, making someone weak. Could apply to feeling blood drain causing weakness, but the phrase is specifically about blood draining from cheeks, a physical movement of blood. The definition is "make weak", not about liquid flow.

Thus, sense 1 best fits: flow off gradually, run out. The blood drains from his cheeks means the blood flows off gradually from the cheeks, causing pallor.

We are asked to disambiguate "cheeks" in the given context. The target is "cheeks" in the sentence: "Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his <t>cheeks</t>." The sense is clearly about the face, as pallor and blood draining are associated with facial cheeks. Sense 1 is "either side of the face below the eyes". Sense 3 is about buttocks, which doesn't fit. Sense 2 and 4 are about impudence or boldness, which don't fit the physical description of blood draining. So the correct index is 1.

Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He <t>muttered</t> something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "muttered" in the given context. The candidate senses are:

1. mutter%2:32:01:: - talk indistinctly; usually in a low voice. Synonyms: mumble, maunder, mussitate.
2. mutter%2:32:00:: - make complaining remarks or noises under one's breath. Synonyms: murmur, grumble, croak, gnarl. Example: "she grumbles when she feels overworked."

Context: The landlord has died. Haney is told the news and feels sudden pallor, then he "muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator." He is shocked, not complaining. He says something about how terrible it was, likely in a low, indistinct voice due to shock. That matches sense 1: talk indistinctly, usually in a low voice. Sense 2 is about complaining remarks, which doesn't fit here because he is expressing sorrow, not grumbling. So the answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "terrible" in the given context. The context is the speaker (Haney) muttering "how terrible it was" after learning the landlord died by falling off a roof. The focus is on the news being shocking, dreadful, causing fear/dread, or just extremely bad. Let's examine the options:

Sense 1: alarming, causing fear or dread. That fits: the sudden death is alarming and dreadful.

Sense 2: exceptionally bad or displeasing, like atrocious taste. This sense is typically for quality, e.g., "terrible movie". The context is about an event, not a qualitative judgment of something like workmanship. The death is bad, but the focus is on the emotional impact (fear/dread) rather than displeasing quality.

Sense 3: intensely or extremely bad in degree or quality, like severe pain. This is similar to sense 2 but emphasizes intensity. Again, more about degree of badness. The death is severe, but the immediate reaction "how terrible" likely expresses shock and alarm.

Sense 4: extreme in degree or amount, like a frightful hurry. This is about extent/amount, not typically used for a tragic event like a death. "He spent a frightful amount of money" – not fitting here.

The examples for sense 1: "the awful war; an awful risk" – that aligns with a shocking, dread-inducing event. Sense 2 examples are about taste, workmanship. Sense 3: severe pain, flu. Sense 4: hurry, money.

Thus, sense 1 is most appropriate for the emotional reaction of horror and dread. Haney is shocked and feels blood drain from his face; he mutters "how terrible" – it's about the dreadfulness of the event. So sense_index: 1.
