We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'come' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "<t>Coming</t> home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

We need to select the correct sense number from the provided list.

The word in question is "Coming" (the -ing form of "come"). The phrase is "Coming home from work". This implies movement toward home or arriving at home.

Let's examine the senses:

1. move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody | examples=He came singing down the road
2. reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | examples=She arrived home at 7 o'clock
3. come to pass; arrive, as in due course | examples=The first success came three days later
4. reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position | examples=The water came to a boil
...

"Coming home" typically means "arriving at home" or "moving toward home". The context: "he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building" – he was in the process of arriving home. The phrase "coming home from work" often implies the journey and arrival. Sense 2 is "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress", with example "She arrived home at 7 o'clock". That perfectly matches "come home" meaning "arrive home". Sense 1 is "move toward", which could also fit, but "coming home" implies the destination is reached or the action of arriving. In the sentence, he was coming home (he was on his way home / arriving home). Often "come home" is listed under sense 2. Also, in many dictionaries, "come" meaning "arrive" is a primary sense for "come home".

Let's check the exact wording: "Coming home from work" – he was in the process of arriving at his home. The sense 2 says "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress". The example uses "arrived", but "come" itself can mean "arrive". The sentence doesn't specify if he fully arrived, but "Coming home" often means "on the way home and arriving". Sense 1 is more generic movement toward something. But "home" as destination emphasizes arrival. Typically, "come home" is classified under sense 2 (arrive). I'll go with 2.

But let's double-check: If the sentence was "He was coming home from work when he saw...", it could be interpreted as "he was moving toward home" (sense 1). However, the sense 2 example is "She arrived home at 7 o'clock" which maps "arrive" to "come". The word "arrive" is used in the definition. So sense 2 is specifically "reach a destination". "Coming home" is a common expression for reaching home. I think sense 2 is the intended one.

I'll output 2.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'home' is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "Coming <t>home</t> from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

We are given a list of senses. We need to identify which one matches the usage in the sentence.

The sentence: "Coming home from work..." Here, "home" refers to the place where he lives. He's returning from work to his residence.

Let's review the senses:

1. definition=where you live at a particular time | examples=deliver the package to my home
2. definition=housing that someone is living in | examples=he built a modest dwelling near the pond
3. definition=the country or state or city where you live | examples=Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home
4. definition=(baseball) base consisting of a rubber slab where the batter stands; it must be touched by a base runner in order to score | examples=he ruled that the runner failed to touch home
5. definition=the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end
6. definition=place where something began and flourished | examples=the United States is the home of basketball
7. definition=an environment offering affection and security | examples=home is where the heart is
8. definition=a social unit living together | examples=he moved his family to Virginia
9. definition=an institution where people are cared for | examples=a home for the elderly

Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" - this fits perfectly. He is coming home (to the place where he lives).

Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" - this is more about the physical dwelling, but sense 1 specifically says "where you live at a particular time", and "home" in "coming home" is more about one's own residence. Typically, "coming home" uses the first sense. Sense 2 might be a synonym for "dwelling", but "home" in this context is a location, not just a building. Still, sense 1 is the most direct and common.

Sense 3: country/state/city - not that.

Sense 4: baseball - no.

Sense 5: military - no.

Sense 6: origin - no.

Sense 7: affection/security - figurative, not literal location.

Sense 8: family unit - no.

Sense 9: institution - no.

Thus, sense 1 is the correct one.

Which numbered sense of "work" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Coming home from <t>work</t>, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building.

Senses:

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'work' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Coming home from <t>work</t>, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building.

Senses:
1. activity directed toward making or doing something
2. a product produced or accomplished...
3. the occupation for which you are paid
4. applying the mind to learning and understanding...
5. (physics) a manifestation of energy...
6. a place where work is done
7. the total output of a writer or artist...

We need to find which sense fits "Coming home from work". "Work" here refers to the place or the occupation? The phrase "coming home from work" typically means returning from one's job or place of employment. Sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid" and examples "he is looking for employment". Sense 6 is "a place where work is done", example "he arrived at work early today". Both could be relevant. However, "coming home from work" is a common phrase where "work" can mean either the job or the workplace. Consider the example for 3: "he is looking for employment" - that's the occupation. For 6: "he arrived at work early today" - that's the place. In the sentence, "from work" suggests a location or the activity. Typically, "coming home from work" means returning from the place where one works. The phrase is similar to "he arrived at work". I'd lean towards sense 6 because it specifies "a place where work is done". But let's check the definitions carefully. Sense 1 is "activity directed toward making or doing something". Sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid". Sense 6 is "a place where work is done". In "coming home from work", "work" is a noun representing the place or the job. Often, dictionaries list this as the workplace. For example, Merriam-Webster has a sense: "a place where one works" (e.g., "didn't go to work today"). That matches sense 6. Sense 3 is the employment concept, but "coming home from work" is more about the location. The example for 6 is exactly "he arrived at work early today", which parallels "Coming home from work". So I'll go with 6.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "see" is used in the sentence: "Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

We must return only the number.

Let's analyze the sentence. "see a police car parked" - he is visually perceiving the police car. This is perception by sight. So sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight". The example: "You have to be a good observer to see all the details" aligns with visual perception.

Other senses: 6 is "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" but that is more about learning information, not direct visual perception. Here, he literally sees the car. It's direct sight. So sense 1 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "stand" is used in: "Inside the lobby, people were <t>standing</t> around, talking excitedly."

The senses are numbered. Look at the sentence: "people were standing around". This is the literal sense of standing upright. Sense 1: definition=be standing; be upright | examples=We had to stand for the entire performance! That fits perfectly. It's the physical act of being on your feet, standing around.

Check other senses to be sure. Sense 2: "be in some specified state or condition" e.g., "I stand corrected" – not literal standing. Sense 3: "occupy a place or location, also metaphorically" e.g., "We stand on common ground" – that's metaphorical. Sense 4: hold one's ground; be steadfast. Sense 6: have a position on an issue. Here, "standing around" is just standing upright in a lobby, not moving much. It matches sense 1 exactly. So answer: 1.

Sentence: Inside the lobby, people were standing around, <t>talking</t> excitedly.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of "talk" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Inside the lobby, people were standing around, <t>talking</t> excitedly.

Senses:
1. definition=exchange thoughts; talk with | examples=We often talk business
2. definition=express in speech | examples=She talks a lot of nonsense
3. definition=use language | examples=the baby talks already

5. definition=divulge confidential information or secrets | examples=Be careful--his secretary talks
6. definition=deliver a lecture or talk | examples=She will talk at the conference"

Analyzing the sentence: "people were standing around, talking excitedly." This means people are conversing with one another, exchanging thoughts. It's the general sense of conversing. Sense 1: exchange thoughts; talk with. Sense 2: express in speech (closer to utterance, like "She talks a lot of nonsense" where the content is nonsense). Sense 3: use language (ability to speak). In the sentence, people are talking excitedly, implying they are conversing, exchanging thoughts. This fits sense 1 best. Many might think sense 2, but "express in speech" is more about the act of speaking to express something, not necessarily exchanging thoughts. "Exchange thoughts; talk with" is explicitly about conversation. Since the sentence describes people standing around and talking, it implies conversation. So sense 1.

Thus the answer is 1.

5. definition=a sharp rigid animal process or appendage; as a porcupine quill or a ridge on a bone or a ray of a fish fin

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "spine" is used in the sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

The word "spine" here is metaphorical, referring to the sensation along one's spine, i.e., the backbone. The phrase "spine crawled" is a common expression indicating a shiver or tingling sensation running down one's back, associated with fear or premonition. So it's using "spine" to mean the backbone, the series of vertebrae. That matches sense 1: "the series of vertebrae forming the axis of the skeleton and protecting the spinal cord". The example "the fall broke his back" is literal, but the definition fits the intended meaning. No other sense matches: sense 2 is any sharply pointed projection; sense 3 is a tip on a stem/leaf; sense 4 is book spine; sense 5 is animal process/quill. So the answer is 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'crawl' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "His spine <t>crawled</t> with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

Senses:
1. move slowly; in the case of people or animals with the body near the ground
2. feel as if crawling with insects | example: My skin crawled--I was terrified
3. be full of | example: The old cheese was crawling with maggots
4. show submission or fear
5. swim by doing the crawl

The phrase "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" is metaphorical. It means he felt a creepy sensation along his spine, as if something was crawling on it, typically associated with fear or foreboding. This matches sense 2: "feel as if crawling with insects" with example "My skin crawled--I was terrified". Even though it's "spine" instead of "skin", it's the same figurative sense of a sensation of something crawling, often due to fear. Sense 3 is "be full of" like crawling with maggots, but here it's not literally full of something; it's a sensation. So sense 2 is correct.

Thus, answer: 2

Sentence: His spine crawled with a foreboding <t>premonition</t> as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened.

Senses:
1. definition=a feeling of evil to come | examples=a steadily escalating sense of foreboding
2. definition=an early warning about a future event | examples=an early warning about a future event? (The original input says: "definition=an early warning about a future event | examples=" but it's incomplete; wait, let me re-read: "2. definition=an early warning about a future event | examples=" and then it ends? Actually the prompt shows: "2. definition=an early warning about a future event | examples=" but there is no example given. Possibly it's just that. The user input: "Senses:
1. definition=a feeling of evil to come | examples=a steadily escalating sense of foreboding
2. definition=an early warning about a future event | examples="

In the sentence, "foreboding premonition" – foreboding is an adjective meaning "implying or seeming to imply that something bad is going to happen." A "premonition" is a strong feeling that something is about to happen, especially something unpleasant. Sense 1 is "a feeling of evil to come" – that matches a foreboding premonition. Sense 2 is "an early warning about a future event" – that could be a more general warning, not necessarily a feeling. The sentence says "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" – it's a physical sensation of dread, a feeling of evil to come. So it's sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

6. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
7. definition=require or ask for as a price or condition | examples=He is asking $200 for the table

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "ask" is used in the sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

We need to look at the grammatical construction and meaning. The sentence uses "asked" with a direct object (one of his fellow tenants) and a clausal complement "what had happened." He is addressing a question to someone expecting an answer. Let's look at the senses:

1: inquire about - example: I asked about their special today. (intransitive or with preposition "about")
2: make a request or demand for something - example: She asked him for a loan. (ditransitive: ask somebody for something)
3: direct or put; seek an answer to - example: ask a question. (transitive with object like "question")
4: consider obligatory; request and expect - example: We require our secretary to be on time. (different meaning, "require")
5: address a question to and expect an answer from - example: Ask your teacher about trigonometry. (ask someone something)
6: require as useful, just, or proper - example: It takes nerve... (different, "require")
7: require or ask for as a price or condition - example: He is asking $200 for the table. (ask money)

In the sentence: "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened." He is addressing a question to someone and expecting an answer. The structure is "ask someone something" (the something is a clause). The sense that matches is 5: address a question to and expect an answer from. The example "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" matches this pattern. Sense 3 is "ask a question" (without an indirect object). Sense 1 is "ask about" without a person. So sense 5 is the correct one.

Return the number: 5.

Sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his <t>fellow</t> tenants what had happened."

We need to look at the senses:

1. a boy or man
2. a friend who is frequently in the company of another
3. a person who is member of one's class or profession
4. one of a pair
5. a member of a learned society
6. an informal form of address for a man
7. a man who is the lover of a girl or young woman

In the sentence, "fellow tenants" means "people who share the same status as tenants with him". It means "a person who is a member of the same group or class". Specifically, "fellow" is an adjective here, but the sense is "a person who is member of one's class or profession". Sense 3 matches: "a person who is member of one's class or profession". Examples given: "the surgeon consulted his colleagues". In "fellow tenants", it means tenants who are in the same class/group as him. So the correct sense is 3.

Thus, the answer is 3.

Which numbered sense of "tenant" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow <t>tenants</t> what had happened.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else | examples=the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent
2. definition=a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)
3. definition=any occupant who dwells in a place

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'tenant' ... is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow <t>tenants</t> what had happened."

Senses given:
1. definition=someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else | examples=the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent
2. definition=a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)
3. definition=any occupant who dwells in a place

The sentence mentions "fellow tenants". This typically means people who live in the same building, probably renting. Sense 1 focuses on paying rent. Sense 2 is broader legal term. Sense 3 is any occupant. The word "tenant" in everyday context usually implies a renter (sense 1). But let's see if there's more nuance. "Fellow tenants" suggests they are both occupants of the same building, likely renters. Sense 1 explicitly says "pays rent". Without context indicating ownership, sense 1 is most common. However, could it be sense 3? "Any occupant who dwells in a place" - "tenant" can sometimes mean occupant, but usually "tenant" implies a rental arrangement. The phrase "fellow tenants" in a building is typical for renters. I'd go with 1. But let's double-check: "one of his fellow tenants" - it's likely a residential building where they rent apartments. Sense 1 is the standard. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "happen" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had <t>happened</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=come to pass | examples=What is happening?
2. definition=happen, occur, or be the case in the course of events or by chance; ;  (Santayana) | examples=It happens that today is my birthday
3. definition=chance to be or do something, without intention or causation | examples=I happen to have just what you need!

4. definition=come into being; become reality | examples=Her dream really materialized
5. definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with | examples=We find this idea in Plato

We need to identify the sense of "happened" in "what had happened". The phrase means "what had occurred" or "what had taken place". Sense 1: "come to pass", with example "What is happening?" matches exactly. Sense 2 includes "happen, occur, or be the case..." but the example is "It happens that today is my birthday" which is a different construction (impersonal). In the sentence, "what had happened" is asking about an event that occurred. That aligns with sense 1.

Let's check sense 1: definition=come to pass, example=What is happening? That's the most direct match.

Sense 2 is similar but emphasizes "by chance" and the example is the "It happens that..." structure. Not the same as asking "what happened?".

Sense 3: "chance to be or do something" as in "I happen to have...". Not the meaning.

Sense 4: "come into being; become reality" like materialize. A bit more specific.

Sense 5: "come upon, as if by accident; meet with" like "We find this idea in Plato". That's "happen upon", not the simple "happen".

The most straightforward is sense 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=the part of the day between noon and evening | examples=he spent a quiet afternoon in the park
2. definition=a conventional expression of greeting or farewell

We need to identify which sense is used. The word "afternoon" in the sentence refers to a time period: "Late that afternoon" means a time late in the afternoon, which is clearly the part of the day between noon and evening. Sense 2 is about a greeting or farewell (like "good afternoon"). In the sentence, it's not used as a greeting. So sense 1 is correct.

Return only the number: 1.

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

Senses:
1. give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | She seems to be sleeping
2. seem to be true, probable, or apparent | It seems that he is very gifted
3. appear to exist | There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now
4. appear to one's own mind or opinion | I seem to be misunderstood by everyone

We need to choose the sense that matches "it seemed" as used in the sentence. The phrase "it seemed" is a parenthetical, indicating that the following information is based on impression or probability. The sentence could be rephrased as: "It seemed that he had fallen off the roof..." This matches sense 2: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" with example "It seems that he is very gifted". Sense 1 is about a person or thing giving an impression (She seems to be sleeping). Sense 3 is about existence (There seems no reason). Sense 4 is about personal opinion (I seem to...). Thus, sense 2 is correct.

"

We need to find the sense that matches "fallen off the roof". In the sentence, "he had fallen off the roof", meaning he accidentally dropped from the roof. The most relevant sense is "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity", which is sense 1. The example given is "The branch fell from the tree", which is analogous: a person falling off a roof is descending under gravity. No other sense fits. So answer is 1.

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

Senses:
1. a protective covering that covers or forms the top of a building

3. the inner top surface of a covered area or hollow space (example: the roof of the cave was very high)
4. an upper limit on what is allowed (example: he put a ceiling on the number of women who worked for him)

In the sentence, "he had fallen off the roof" - this implies falling off the top of a building, most likely. There's no context suggesting a vehicle, a cave inner surface, or a limit. The most natural sense is sense 1: the protective covering that forms the top of a building.

So the answer is 1.

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

Senses provided:
1. definition=not clearly understood or expressed; ... | examples=an obscure turn of phrase
2. definition=marked by difficulty of style or expression | examples=much that was dark is now quite clear to me
3. definition=difficult to find | examples=hidden valleys

5. definition=not drawing attention | examples=an unnoticeable cigarette burn on the carpet
6. definition=remote and separate physically or socially; ... | examples=existed over the centuries as a world apart

We need to match the meaning of "obscure" in the context: "on some obscure errand or inspection." "Obscure errand" means an errand that is not clearly understood or is vague, perhaps not well-known or unclear in purpose. The phrase "obscure errand" typically means an errand whose purpose or nature is unclear, not obvious, perhaps secretive or not easily understood. Let's check the senses.

Sense 1: "not clearly understood or expressed" – this fits an errand that is not clearly understood. For example, if his errand was obscure, its purpose wasn't clear. Sense 3: "difficult to find" – does not fit an errand; an errand isn't something you find like a hidden object. Sense 4: "not famous or acclaimed" – an errand isn't famous or acclaimed, so no. Sense 5: "not drawing attention" – "obscure" can mean unnoticeable, but an "obscure errand" usually means the errand's nature is obscure, not that the errand itself doesn't draw attention. Sense 6: "remote and separate" – not applicable to an errand. So sense 1 is the best.

I'll output "1".

Sentence: Nobody <t>witnessed</t> the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'witness' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense." The sentence: "Nobody <t>witnessed</t> the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance."

Senses:
1. definition=be a witness to | examples=She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court
2. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices

We need to choose the correct sense number. The sentence says: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact..." So nobody saw the fall itself, only heard/felt the impact. "Witnessed" here means saw/perceived the fall. Sense 1 is "be a witness to", example "She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court" - that implies seeing it and being able to testify. Sense 2 is "perceive or be contemporaneous with", example "We found Republicans winning the offices" - that doesn't fit the example, but definition "perceive or be contemporaneous with" sounds like witnessing an event. But in context, "nobody witnessed the fall" means nobody saw/perceived the fall. The subtle difference: Sense 1 is more about being an observer, often with legal implications. Sense 2 is "perceive or be contemporaneous with", which also includes simply perceiving something. The example for sense 2 is "We found Republicans winning the offices" - that doesn't use "witnessed" in the example, it's weird. Wait: The given senses are:

1. definition=be a witness to | examples=She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court
2. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices

The second example "We found Republicans winning the offices" doesn't even use the word "witnessed", it might be a placeholder or a weird example. But the definition "perceive or be contemporaneous with" could apply. However, "nobody witnessed the fall" means nobody saw the fall happen. That's typically sense 1: to see an event, especially a crime or accident. In the sentence, it's about seeing a fall. The fall resulted in an impact, but nobody saw the fall itself. So "witnessed" means "saw" (be a witness to). I think sense 1 is correct. The second definition "perceive or be contemporaneous with" might be more abstract, like "The year 2020 witnessed many changes" (non-person subject). In this case, the subject is "nobody", a person, and the object is "the fall". That's sense 1. So answer: 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Nobody witnessed the <t>fall</t> -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." The word "fall" is tagged. We need to select the correct numbered sense from the list.

The sentence describes a person's body smashing on the pavement, implying a fall from a height. The context indicates a physical descent of a person's body, resulting in impact. The most relevant sense is "a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity" (sense 11) or "a sudden drop from an upright position" (sense 2). However, "sudden drop from an upright position" (sense 2) example is "he had a nasty spill on the ice", which is more like slipping and falling. The sentence says "his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance", which suggests a fall from a height, probably from a window or roof, making it a free and rapid descent due to gravity. So sense 11 ("a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity") fits best. Let's double-check: "Nobody witnessed the fall" – they only saw the impact. If it was a fall from a building or a height, it's a descent by gravity. Sense 11: "a free and rapid descent by the force of gravity | examples=it was a miracle that he survived the drop from that height". That matches perfectly. Sense 2 is more about slipping and falling from standing. The impact described (body smashed on pavement) suggests a high fall. So sense 11 is correct.

4. definition=the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat | examples=the armies met in the shock of battle

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "impact" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is:

"Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening <t>impact</t> when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance."

We have four senses:
1. definition=the striking of one body against another
2. definition=a forceful consequence; a strong effect | examples=the book had an important impact on my thinking
3. definition=influencing strongly | examples=they resented the impingement of American values on European culture
4. definition=the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat | examples=the armies met in the shock of battle

The sentence describes a body smashing on the pavement. The "impact" refers to the physical striking of the body against the pavement. This is clearly a case of one body striking another (the body and the pavement). Sense 1 is "the striking of one body against another". This fits perfectly.

Sense 2 is metaphorical (forceful consequence/strong effect). Sense 3 is "influencing strongly", also metaphorical. Sense 4 is about combat. So the correct sense is 1.

Return only the number.

reasoning_content: We are given a sentence: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his <t>body</t> smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." We need to identify which numbered sense of "body" (from 1 to 11) is used. The word is "body" in the context of a person falling and hitting the pavement. The sentence says "his body smashed on the pavement". This implies the physical structure of a person, but note that he fell and his body hit the pavement. He is alive at the time of falling? The phrase "sickening impact" suggests a fatal or severe fall, but regardless, it's referring to the physical body of a living person (or perhaps a person who just died upon impact, but at the time of the fall, he was alive). Sense 1 is "the entire structure of an organism (an animal, plant, or human being)" with example "he felt as if his whole body were on fire". Sense 3 is "a natural object consisting of a dead animal or person" with example "they found the body in the lake". In the sentence, it's "his body" - the person fell and his body smashed on the pavement. This is the living person's physical body, not a dead body (yet). Even if the impact killed him, at the moment of smashing, it's his living body hitting the ground. The word "body" refers to the physical structure of a human being. So sense 1 is most appropriate. Sense 3 is specifically a dead body, but here "his body" implies the physical form of a person, not necessarily a corpse. Context: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement" This sounds like a person falling from a height. They refer to his body as the physical object that impacts. It's not a group, not an object like a heavenly body, not the torso, not a collection, etc. So sense 1 fits perfectly. Let's double-check: Sense 5 is "the body excluding the head and neck and limbs", but the impact of the whole body, not just the torso. So 1 is correct. Return only the number: 1.

We need to identify the sense from the list that best matches the usage. The word is "smashed" as an intransitive verb here, describing his body hitting the pavement.

Let's look at the senses:

1. hit hard (He smashed a 3-run homer) - This is transitive: he smashed a homer.
2. break into pieces, as by striking or knocking over (Smash a plate) - Transitive, break into pieces.
3. reduce to bankruptcy (My daughter's fancy wedding is going to break me!) - Not applicable.
4. hit violently (She smashed her car against the guard rail) - Transitive, hit something against something else.
5. humiliate or depress completely (She was crushed by his refusal...) - Not applicable.
6. damage or destroy as if by violence (The teenager banged up the car...) - Transitive, damage/destroy.
7. hit (a tennis ball) in a powerful overhead stroke - Not applicable.
8. collide or strike violently and suddenly (The motorcycle smashed into the guard rail) - Intransitive use: something smashes into something. The example is "smashed into," but here the sentence is "smashed on the pavement." This is close: body collides/strikes violently with pavement.
9. overthrow or destroy (something considered evil or harmful) - Not applicable.
10. break suddenly into pieces, as from a violent blow (The window smashed) - This is intransitive: something breaks into pieces. The sentence "his body smashed on the pavement" might imply breaking into pieces? But bodies don't literally break into pieces like glass. It's more about the violent impact.

Let's see: "his body smashed on the pavement" - it means his body hit the pavement violently. Sense 8: "collide or strike violently and suddenly" – the example is "The motorcycle smashed into the guard rail." Here it's "smashed on the pavement." The key is impact. Sense 10 is "break suddenly into pieces" – body might not break into pieces, but the impact could be described as a violent collision.

Is there any better fit? Sense 4 is "hit violently" but transitive. Sense 8 is intransitive with "collide or strike violently". The verb "smash" here is intransitive (his body smashed on the pavement). Sense 8 fits the intransitive violent collision meaning. Sense 10 is about breaking into pieces. A body hitting pavement may not break into pieces; it's more about the collision impact.

Thus, sense 8 seems most appropriate.

Which numbered sense of "pavement" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the <t>pavement</t> just outside the basement delivery entrance.

Senses:
1. definition=the paved surface of a thoroughfare

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and asked which numbered sense of "pavement" is used. The senses are:

1. the paved surface of a thoroughfare
2. material used to pave an area
3. walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street or roadway

The sentence: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance."

We need to determine which sense applies. The key phrase is "smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." This suggests a hard surface at ground level, likely a paved area. Since it's "just outside the basement delivery entrance", it could be a sidewalk or a paved area for pedestrians. But let's examine the options.

Sense 1: "the paved surface of a thoroughfare" – a thoroughfare is a road or street. This would mean the road surface itself.

Sense 2: "material used to pave an area" – this refers to the substance (asphalt, concrete, etc.), not the surface itself. The sentence says "on the pavement", which is a location, not the material. You wouldn't say "his body smashed on the material" in this context; you'd say "on the pavement" meaning the ground. So sense 2 is unlikely.

Sense 3: "walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street or roadway" – this is a sidewalk (in American English) or pavement (in British English). In British English, "pavement" typically means sidewalk. In American English, "pavement" usually means the road surface. The sentence doesn't specify dialect, but we need to see which fits the context. "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – this could be a sidewalk if the entrance faces the street, or it could be the roadway if the delivery entrance leads directly to the street. However, a delivery entrance is often at the back or side of a building, possibly with a paved area. The phrase "pavement" here might be used in the British sense. Alternatively, American English might use "pavement" for the road surface. Without dialect clues, we look at the definitions provided. The definitions themselves seem to distinguish: sense 1 is the surface of a thoroughfare (road), sense 3 is a walk for pedestrians beside a street. The sentence says "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – this could be a sidewalk if the entrance is on a street, but it doesn't explicitly say it's beside a street. However, "pavement" in many contexts can refer to the ground paved with a hard surface. In some dictionaries, the primary sense is the paved surface. Let's see if we can determine from typical usage. If this is from a British text, "pavement" is sidewalk. If American, "pavement" is the road surface. Without context, we might default to the most common usage. But the senses are numbered, and we need to pick one. Often in such tasks, they use the word in a specific sense that matches a definition. "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – typically, a delivery entrance might be at street level, and the pavement could be the sidewalk. But it could be the road if trucks pull up. Many buildings have a paved area right outside a basement entrance that is not necessarily a sidewalk or a thoroughfare; it might just be a paved courtyard. But the senses given are limited: 1 is thoroughfare, 3 is pedestrian walk beside street. If it's a paved area outside a delivery entrance, it might not be a thoroughfare or a sidewalk. It might just be "the paved surface" generally? But sense 1 says "the paved surface of a thoroughfare" specifically. So if it's not a thoroughfare, sense 1 might not fit. Sense 3 says "walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street". If it's just a paved area outside a delivery entrance, it might not be a walk beside a street. However, many times basement delivery entrances are located on the side of a building, and there is a sidewalk there. But if it's a delivery entrance, it might open onto a street or alley. Let's think about typical phrasing: "smashed on the pavement" – this is a common collocation. In British English, it's the sidewalk; in American, the street. The phrase "basement delivery entrance" suggests an urban setting, maybe a building with a basement entrance where deliveries are made, often with a small paved area or opening onto the sidewalk/street. Without more context, we might have to rely on the definitions. The sentence does not specify if it's a road or a pedestrian walk. But "pavement" in the first sense is the surface of a thoroughfare – a thoroughfare is a road. Could a body fall onto the road outside a delivery entrance? Possibly. Sense 3 is pedestrian walk. Often, a "basement delivery entrance" might be at the bottom of some steps, and the pavement is the ground at the bottom, which could be a paved area. In many dictionaries, the primary definition of pavement is the hard surface of a road or sidewalk. But here, the distinction is made. I'll consider that "pavement" in this context, especially with "just outside", likely refers to the hard, paved surface. Since there's no mention of a street or pedestrians, it could just be sense 1? Actually, sense 1 specifies "of a thoroughfare". A thoroughfare is a road or path. If it's outside a delivery entrance, it might be a thoroughfare if vehicles use it, but a delivery entrance might open onto an alley or street. I'd lean towards sense 1 because "pavement" in the generic sense often means the road surface. But let's see if there's any hint: "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – a delivery entrance is often at street level, and the pavement is what you step onto. In many contexts, "pavement" means the sidewalk. I recall that in British English, "pavement" is the sidewalk, while in American English, it's the road. Since the instructions don't specify, maybe the correct answer is based on a standard dictionary. Let's check common definitions: Merriam-Webster: 1: a paved surface: such as a: the artificially covered surface of a public thoroughfare; b: sidewalk. So both are valid. The given senses separate them. We need to figure out which one is intended by the sentence. The phrase "smashed on the pavement" – if someone falls from a height, they could hit the pavement (sidewalk or road). "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – basement entrances are often below street level, accessed via steps from the sidewalk. So someone could fall onto the sidewalk. But if they fall "just outside" the entrance, it's likely the ground immediately outside, which could be the sidewalk if the entrance is at sidewalk level or the pavement at the bottom of the steps. I think it's ambiguous. However, maybe the word "pavement" in this context is more commonly sense 3? Let's search my memory: In many reading comprehension tests, "pavement" often means sidewalk in British texts and road in American texts. Without dialect markers, perhaps we can look at the sentence structure. "smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." If the entrance is a delivery entrance, it's probably at the back of a building, maybe opening onto an alley or service road. The "pavement" there could be the road surface. But a delivery entrance for a basement suggests a building where the basement has a separate entrance, often a few steps down from street level, and the area outside is a small paved area (like a light well or areaway) that connects to the sidewalk. In many urban descriptions, that small paved area is also called pavement. I'm leaning towards sense 1 as the general paved surface, but sense 1 restricts to "thoroughfare". A delivery entrance might not be on a thoroughfare. Sense 3 is a walk for pedestrians usually beside a street. If the delivery entrance is beside a street, it might be the sidewalk.

Let's think about typical language. If this sentence is from a novel or news report, "pavement" is often used to mean the ground. In American English, "pavement" is the road; in British, it's the sidewalk. But the definitions given are specific. The third definition: "walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street or roadway" – this is explicitly a sidewalk. The first: "the paved surface of a thoroughfare" – a thoroughfare is a road or path open to the public. A delivery entrance might be on a thoroughfare. I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps we can find a clue in the phrase "smashed on the pavement". This often implies a hard, paved surface, and in many contexts it's the street. I think sense 1 is the most common meaning in general English, but sense 3 is also common in British English. Since the question asks to return only the number, and it's likely from a dataset like Word Sense Disambiguation, I need to make a decision.

Let's analyze: If a body smashes on the pavement outside a basement delivery entrance, it's likely that the entrance is street-adjacent, and the pavement is the sidewalk if British, or the road if American. However, basement delivery entrances are often below street level, accessed by a short flight of stairs leading down from the sidewalk. So the area at the bottom of the stairs is a small paved area that is part of the sidewalk or a separate landing. If someone falls, they might hit that paved area. That paved area is not necessarily a "thoroughfare" (which implies a route for travel), nor is it a "walk for pedestrians" (since it's just an entrance landing). But it is a paved surface. However, both given definitions are more specific. Definition 1 is "the paved surface of a thoroughfare". If the area outside the delivery entrance is not a thoroughfare, that might not fit. Definition 3 is "walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street". If the entrance opens onto a sidewalk, then the pavement is the sidewalk. Often, basement delivery entrances open onto the sidewalk directly, or are set back with a small area that could be considered part of the sidewalk. I think sense 3 might be the intended meaning if we assume the entrance is on a street with a sidewalk. Alternatively, in many contexts, "pavement" simply means the hard surface of the ground in a city, synonymous with sidewalk.

I recall that in many English dictionaries, the first sense is the road surface, and the second is the sidewalk. But here, sense 1 is thoroughfare (road), sense 2 is material, sense 3 is sidewalk. If the body fell and smashed on the pavement, it's more dramatic if it's the road, but a fall onto a sidewalk is also hard. I need to consider if there's any default. In American English, "pavement" often means the road surface, but "sidewalk" is used for pedestrian walk. In British English, "pavement" is the sidewalk, and "road" is the road. The sentence doesn't give dialect clues like "lorry" or "flat". It uses "basement delivery entrance" which is neutral.

Maybe I can think of the phrase "smashed on the pavement". If you search in corpora, "hit the pavement" usually means the street/road, but "pavement" as a location of a fall could be either. Another approach: the definitions are from a specific dictionary, likely WordNet. In WordNet, the senses for "pavement" are:
1. (noun) pavement, paving - the paved surface of a thoroughfare
2. (noun) paving, pavement, paving material - material used to pave an area
3. (noun) pavement, sidewalk - walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street or roadway

In WordNet, sense 1 is the surface of a thoroughfare (road), sense 3 is sidewalk. So which one is more likely? WordNet example sentences might help. For sense 1: "they spent the afternoon walking on the pavement" – wait, that could be ambiguous. But WordNet is American English. In American English, "pavement" typically refers to the road surface. However, WordNet has sense 3 as "pavement" synonymous with "sidewalk", which is also used. Usually, in American English, "pavement" is the hard surface of a road or street. But if you say "walk on the pavement", it might mean the road if you're not on the sidewalk? Actually, Americans usually say "sidewalk" for pedestrian walkway, and "pavement" for the road. But "pavement" can also refer to any paved surface. WordNet's sense 1 definition says "the paved surface of a thoroughfare". A thoroughfare is a road or street. Sense 3 is "walk ... for pedestrians". So if the sentence says "smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance", it could be the sidewalk if the entrance is on a street. But a delivery entrance for a basement might be in an alley or back street, which might not have a sidewalk, just a paved road. Or it could be a sidewalk.

Let's read the sentence carefully: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." This suggests someone fell from a height (maybe from the building). The basement delivery entrance is likely at ground level or slightly below. If he fell and hit the "pavement just outside" that entrance, the pavement is the ground surface there. In many urban buildings, basement entrances open onto a small areaway that is paved, often concrete. That area is not really a thoroughfare or a pedestrian walk beside a street; it's more like a private paved area. But the definitions don't have a generic "paved surface" sense except sense 1 which is "of a thoroughfare". Maybe the area outside is considered part of the thoroughfare if it's open to the street. I'm leaning towards sense 1 because it's the most general sense (paved surface of a road/street). Or perhaps the text is British, and "pavement" means sidewalk.

I recall a similar WSD example: "He stepped off the curb into the pavement." In American English that would mean the street. If the sentence was "He stepped off the pavement onto the road" it would be British for sidewalk. Without dialect markers, it's ambiguous. But the provided senses distinguish the two. Often in such tasks, the correct sense is the one that fits the context best, and sometimes they rely on the fact that "pavement" in American English is the road, and in British English is the sidewalk. Since the question doesn't specify, perhaps we can infer from "basement delivery entrance". A basement delivery entrance is typically at the bottom of steps leading from the sidewalk. So the area outside is a small paved area at the base of the steps. That area might be considered part of the sidewalk (sense 3) or just a paved surface. If it's a "delivery entrance", it might open onto the street, so the pavement could be the road. But deliveries are often made from the street, so a delivery entrance might open directly onto the road (thoroughfare). In many old buildings, basement delivery entrances are on the sidewalk, with steps going down from the sidewalk, and the entrance is under the sidewalk. The area outside the entrance is a pit, and the ground of that pit is a paved surface. Is that a "walk for pedestrians" or "thoroughfare"? Neither, really. It's a landing. But in common language, it might be called "pavement" simply meaning paved ground. Since neither sense 1 nor 3 perfectly fits a private paved landing, maybe we have to choose the closest. Sense 1 is "paved surface of a thoroughfare" – a delivery entrance area is not a thoroughfare. Sense 3 is "walk for pedestrians" – it's not a walk either. So both are slightly off. However, if the delivery entrance is adjacent to the street, the pavement might refer to the public sidewalk or road that the entrance borders. "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – the spot where he landed is on the pavement. If the entrance is on the sidewalk, the pavement could be the sidewalk. If it's on the road, it's the road. In many cases, "pavement" in British English means sidewalk, and a basement delivery entrance often has a small door at sidewalk level or steps. If he fell from above, he might hit the sidewalk. I think I need to search my memory for similar examples.

Maybe this is from a known corpus. The phrasing "sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement" sounds like a thriller or mystery novel. I can try to recall if I've seen this sentence before. It might be from a specific book. But I don't recognize it.

Alternatively, we can use linguistic cues: In British English, "pavement" is the sidewalk. If the author were British, they would say "pavement" meaning sidewalk. If American, they might say "pavement" meaning road, or "sidewalk". Since they used "pavement" and not "sidewalk", if they are American, they might be referring to the road. But American authors sometimes use "pavement" to mean any paved surface. However, in American English, "pavement" is primarily the road. Let's consider "delivery entrance" – in American English, that's common. "Basement delivery entrance" – could be either. No other dialect words.

Let's think about the likely scenario. A basement delivery entrance is usually at street level or below, often with a small area. If someone falls from a window above and lands "just outside" that entrance, they would land on the ground immediately adjacent to the building. In a city, that ground is typically the sidewalk (if the building is set back slightly, it might be a paved area). If the building is directly on the street, the sidewalk is right there. So it's likely the sidewalk. In American English, that would be called the sidewalk, not the pavement. In British English, it's the pavement. Since the author used "pavement", they likely meant the sidewalk. Therefore, sense 3.

But wait, in American English, "pavement" can also refer to the sidewalk in some contexts? Actually, Merriam-Webster says: 1: a paved surface: such as a: the artificially covered surface of a public thoroughfare; b: sidewalk. So "pavement" can also mean sidewalk in American English. It's just less common. The separate senses in the question correspond to these two subsenses. So we have to disambiguate.

Maybe there's a clue: "the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." If the delivery entrance is for vehicles, it might open onto a road or alley, so the pavement is the road surface. A basement delivery entrance might be for trucks to back into. In that case, it would open onto a paved area used by vehicles, a thoroughfare. That would be sense 1 (paved surface of a thoroughfare). If it's for pedestrians carrying deliveries, it might open onto a sidewalk. But "delivery entrance" often implies a service entrance for trucks or deliveries, so it's likely at street level or a ramp. Basement delivery entrance suggests a door below street level, maybe with a ramp or steps. The "pavement" outside could be the ground at the bottom. If a truck backs down a ramp, the area might be paved for vehicles. That could be considered a thoroughfare? Or a paved area for vehicles. Sense 1 is "thoroughfare," which is a public way. A delivery area might be private.

Hmm.

Let's try to find the most neutral interpretation. Many WSD tasks use the WordNet sense inventory. In the SemCor corpus (which is WordNet-tagged), the word "pavement" appears. Let's think of typical contexts. In SemCor, "pavement" is often sense 1. For example, "the pavement of the street" etc. But sense 3 is also used. I'd need to guess. Perhaps the sentence is from a known WSD dataset. I recall a sentence: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." This seems like it could be from a book. Googling mentally: Could be from a John Grisham or something. If it's American, "pavement" likely means sidewalk? In American English, "slammed onto the pavement" usually implies the street. But "fell and hit the pavement" often means the sidewalk. Actually, in news reports, "hit the pavement" is a phrase meaning fell to the ground, often the sidewalk or road. It's ambiguous.

Let's look at the wording: "smashed on the pavement". If the body smashed on the pavement, it's a collision with a hard surface. If it's a fall from a height, it could be the street below. "just outside the basement delivery entrance" – if it's a basement, the entrance is at the lower level. So the pavement is the floor of the outside area. That might be a small paved area that isn't really a thoroughfare or a pedestrian walk. But dictionary definitions often don't cover every minor usage. In WordNet, sense 1 is "paved surface of a thoroughfare". A paved surface outside a basement entrance might not be a thoroughfare, but it could be considered an extension of the sidewalk or road. Usually, such areas are called "pavement" by extension. Which sense would be more prototypical? Sense 3 is specifically for pedestrians. If the delivery entrance is for deliveries, it might be used by pedestrians (delivery people walking). But a "delivery entrance" often implies vehicles.

Another angle: "basement delivery entrance" might imply a building with a basement that has a separate entrance for deliveries, often located in the back alley. The alley would be a thoroughfare. So the pavement in the alley is the paved surface of a thoroughfare. Or it could be a small paved area just outside the door, which might be considered part of the sidewalk if it's on the side street.

Given the lack of clear evidence, I need to make a judgment. Many English speakers would interpret "pavement" in "his body smashed on the pavement" as the ground, usually the street or sidewalk depending on dialect. Since both are possible, I might lean towards sense 1 because it's the primary definition in American dictionaries (which often list the road sense first). However, the question might be from a British context where sense 3 is primary.

Let's see if there's any clue in the phrasing "just outside the basement delivery entrance". If it's a basement entrance, it's below ground level, so the pavement is at the bottom of steps. You wouldn't typically call that a "thoroughfare". A thoroughfare is a road or street open to the public. A private basement entrance area is not a thoroughfare. It's also not a "walk for pedestrians" usually beside a street. It's a small area. Hmm. Maybe it's sense 2? "material used to pave an area"? No, "on the pavement" means on the surface, not on the material. So not sense 2.

Perhaps the sentence uses "pavement" in the sense of "the paved surface" in a general way, but the only general sense given is sense 1, which is restricted to "of a thoroughfare". If the area is not a thoroughfare, maybe none fit perfectly, but we have to choose the best. Sometimes in WSD, the context forces a specific sense. Let's read carefully: "the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance." If it's a delivery entrance, it might be located on a street. Many buildings have a basement door that opens onto the sidewalk, with steps leading down. So the door is at sidewalk level, but recessed? Actually, a basement entrance is usually below sidewalk level. You step down from the sidewalk to a small landing in front of the basement door. That landing is paved and is technically part of the sidewalk area, or a private walkway. It is a "walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians" – because delivery people are pedestrians when they approach the door. It's not usually beside a street, it's set back from the street, but often connected. Sense 3 says "walk consisting of a paved area for pedestrians; usually beside a street or roadway". The "usually" means it doesn't have to be strictly beside a street; it could be a path. That might fit a paved walkway to a delivery entrance. So sense 3 could apply. Sense 1 is "the paved surface of a thoroughfare" – a thoroughfare is a road or street. The area outside a basement delivery entrance is not a thoroughfare. So sense 3 seems more plausible.

Therefore, I'll go with sense 3.

We need to determine which sense of "basement" fits the sentence. The sentence is: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance."

Senses:
1. the lowermost portion of a structure partly or wholly below ground level; often used for storage

The sentence mentions "basement delivery entrance". This implies a delivery entrance located at or leading to the basement. Basement here is clearly a part of a building below ground level, used for deliveries, storage, etc. It's not referring to Renaissance architecture's ground floor. So sense 1 is correct.

Sentence: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement <t>delivery</t> entrance."

The word is "delivery" in the phrase "basement delivery entrance". So it's an entrance used for deliveries. That relates to sense 1: "the act of delivering or distributing something (as goods or mail)". A delivery entrance is an entrance through which goods are delivered. The other senses are about giving birth, manner of speaking, transfer of title, baseball pitching, deliverance, delivering a child. None of those fit. So it's sense 1.

Senses provided:
1. something that provides access (to get in or get out) | example: they waited at the entrance to the garden
2. a movement into or inward
3. the act of entering | example: she made a grand entrance

We need to determine which sense is used. In the sentence, "basement delivery entrance" refers to a physical entrance, a place where deliveries are made, an access point. So it's a physical location that provides access. That matches sense 1. Sense 2 is "a movement into or inward" (like "entrance" as a noun meaning an entering, but usually that's sense 3). Sense 3 is "the act of entering". The sentence is about the location outside the entrance, not the act. So sense 1 is correct.

Return only the number: 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'notice' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "Haney hoped that nobody <t>noticed</t> his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks."

Senses provided:

1. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
2. definition=notice or perceive | examples=She noted that someone was following her
3. definition=make or write a comment on | examples=he commented the paper of his colleague
4. definition=express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with | examples=He never acknowledges his colleagues when they run into him in the hallway

We need to choose the sense of "notice" that fits the sentence. The word in the sentence is "noticed". Senses are for "notice" presumably, but they list definitions with examples. They all seem to be definitions of the verb "notice". Let's examine:

Sense 1: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - example: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water" This is more like detect, discover something not obvious. "noticed his sudden pallor" is noticing something visible, not necessarily discovering a hidden fact. But maybe.

Sense 2: "notice or perceive" - example: "She noted that someone was following her" This directly uses "noted" as a synonym of "noticed". To notice means to become aware of something. Haney hoped nobody noticed his pallor, meaning nobody became aware of it. That's exactly notice or perceive.

Sense 3: "make or write a comment on" - this is like comment, not applicable.

Sense 4: "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" - this is like acknowledge, not exactly just perceive but actively express recognition.

The sentence: "Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor". This is the perceptual sense: to become aware of, to see, observe. So sense 2 is the correct one. Sense 1 is more about discovering a fact, while sense 2 is about noticing something directly. "noticed his pallor" means perceived it. So answer is 2.
