**Analyzing the Verb "Kept" in the Earthquake Context**

Okay, so the target word is "kept," specifically from the phrase "it kept on coming." The surrounding text clearly paints a picture of an earthquake – "the building started shaking like crazy," "it was really rocking around," and so on. My focus is on what "kept on coming" actually signifies in this specific scenario.

The phrase "kept on coming" implies a continuation, a persistence. The earthquake *didn't* stop; it *continued*. Let's look at the candidate senses to see what resonates.

After reviewing the senses, sense 2 jumps out. It aligns perfectly: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity." The synonyms – continue, go on, proceed – nail the idea. The example "Keep on working!" reinforces this sense of ongoing action.

In this context, the earthquake's shaking *kept* happening; it *kept on* coming. Therefore, sense 2 is the clear and most accurate fit for this usage of "kept."

**Analyzing "Coming" in the Earthquake Context**

Okay, so the target word is "coming," derived from "come," and it's in the context of an earthquake. My initial thought is to consider the various senses of "come."  We've got the straightforward ones like "move toward" (Sense 1), and "arrive by movement" (Sense 2). But then there's the more abstract "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" (Sense 3), which seems immediately relevant. The phrase "kept on coming" immediately catches my eye.

The antecedent "it" refers to the shaking, the earthquake. Does "coming" mean the shaking *moved* towards them, or that the shaking *happened*? My expert intuition kicks in; earthquakes aren't typically described as *approaching* in a literal sense. Therefore, the event is taking place.

Now, I start to parse the phrase, "it kept on coming". Does this have an idiomatic flavor? Is "coming" continuing? Then, "keep on" contributes the "continue" sense; I can treat "come" as "happen". Then, my consideration is "happen, occur." Is this a sense of "come" on its own, or does it require more context to be considered in its idiomatic form? That makes me consider Sense 3 again: "come to pass; arrive, as in due course". It does seem to fit.

I start running through other senses: "issue forth" (Sense 7, like "His breath came hard"). No. "Happen as a result" (Sense 13). No. "Be received" (Sense 16). No.  Sense 1, "move toward," could *figuratively* apply to events, like "The waves kept coming," or "The punches kept coming." I could imagine "the shaking kept moving towards them", but that seems a bit forced.

Here, I revisit the earthquake example directly. If "it" is the earthquake, an event, then events can "come." "The first success came three days later." "The earthquake came at 5 PM." This reinforces my conclusion. Then it comes down to which sense best captures the meaning of the earthquake happening continuously.

I'm checking if "kept on coming" is a SemCor entry. No luck, it's from a first-hand account. This brings me back to the core question: Does the shaking *approach* or *happen*?

I’m now digging deeper into whether "keep on coming" is an idiom, and it appears "keep on" carries the "continue" meaning; "come" then can simply be interpreted as "happen." Checking Sense 3 again.  The examples I have here reinforce the conclusion.

I go through the other senses again, just to be sure. Nothing fits. "Be received". "Happen as a result."  Sense 3 is the right one, "come to pass; arrive, as in due course".

**Deconstructing "Needless to Say"**

Okay, here's the task: I need to figure out the meaning of "say" in the phrase "Needless to say, it was an interesting first session!" Let's run through the possibilities. I'm considering these sense candidates: *express in words*, *report or maintain*, *express a supposition*, *have or contain a certain wording or form*, *give instructions to*, *speak, pronounce*, *communicate or express nonverbally*, *utter aloud*, *state as one's opinion or judgement; declare*, *recite or repeat a fixed text*, and *indicate*.

In this idiom, "needless to say," the core meaning of "say" is *to state* or *to express in words*. The phrase implies that the thing being referenced doesn't need to be explicitly stated. Now, let's zero in.

Sense 1, *express in words* (synonyms: state, tell), is a prime contender. Consider examples: "He *said* that he wanted to marry her." or "Tell me what is bothering you." That resonates.

The key here is that "needless to say" doesn't reference a specific instruction, opinion, or form of nonverbal communication. It's about a general statement or expression. There isn't a specific idiom related to "needless to say" that would give the correct meaning. The basic sense of "say," *to express* or *to state*, is used.

Sense 8, *utter aloud*, is a bit too literal, while Sense 9, *state as one's opinion or judgement; declare*, is a bit too strong. My focus is on the general concept of expressing something with words.

Therefore, "Needless to say" clearly means "Needless to state/express in words." Sense 1, *express in words*, is the best and most appropriate fit.

**Analyzing "Session" in a Therapeutic Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the specific meaning of "session" when discussing a "therapy session." It's an interesting exercise, really. Let's see... I've got a list of possible senses to consider. The first one, "a meeting for the execution of a group's functions," like a legislative session, that's not it. We aren't talking about governing or policy. Next up, "school term." Nope, doesn't relate. The third option, though... *that* resonates. "A meeting devoted to a particular activity." Yes, a filming session, a gossip session, or, in this case, a therapy session. That fits perfectly. We're obviously discussing a meeting dedicated to the therapeutic process. Finally, there's "seance," which is clearly irrelevant here. Therefore, Sense 3 is the clear winner. That's the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Trouble"**

Okay, so the lemma is "trouble," the surface form is "trouble," and the context is "Biggest trouble was scared family who couldn't get a phone line through, and spent a really horrible hour not knowing." My immediate instinct is that "trouble" here signifies a *problem* or a *source of difficulty*. But let's be thorough. I need to consider all the candidate senses, right? I've got:

1.  a source of difficulty (problem)
2.  an angry disturbance (fuss, bother, hassle)
3.  an event causing distress or pain
4.  an effort that is inconvenient (difficulty)
5.  a strong feeling of anxiety (worry)
6.  an unwanted pregnancy

Let's see, "Biggest trouble was scared family..." Hmm, that sounds like a *problem* is the main issue. The phrase seems to point to the core difficulty they faced. My intuition is that this is a *problem*.

I'm leaning heavily towards sense 1, a source of difficulty. If the sentence was "Biggest trouble was scared family..." then I can substitute the word, "problem" directly, and the sentence remains semantically correct: "Biggest problem was scared family."

But, let's explore sense 3, "an event causing distress or pain." While a scared family *could* be distressing, the phrase "biggest trouble" fits "biggest problem" more closely. It is a bit too indirect. What about "biggest worry" of sense 5? Sure, it is possible. But "problem" remains the more obvious fit.

Let's focus on the word "biggest". This is the *biggest* problem. Not necessarily the *biggest worry*. I still think the primary meaning here is clearly a *problem*, not just a feeling of distress. The synonym test is useful here. "Biggest problem" is a much more direct fit than "Biggest worry" or "Biggest distress." Therefore, sense 1 is definitely the best match here.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Spent"**

Okay, the target word is "spent," originating from "spend." My initial task is to pin down the intended meaning within the provided context: "...and spent a really horrible hour not knowing." Let's dissect this.

I immediately identify the three primary senses of "spend" that typically come to mind: Sense 1, the act of "pass[ing] time in a specific way"; Sense 2, to "pay out," "expend," or "drop" something (usually money); and Sense 3, "spend completely," indicating total depletion.

Given the phrase "spent a really horrible hour not knowing," it's clear that the subject, likely a group of people, "passed" time in this unfortunate state. The connotation is not about financial disbursement or total depletion. Considering the synonyms for each sense, "pass" is the most appropriate fit here. Therefore, Sense 1, "pass time in a specific way," perfectly captures the intended meaning in this sentence. It's a clear application of a verb of duration.

**Analyzing the "Hour" Context**

Okay, so the target is "hour," and the surface form is just "hour." The context is "...and spent a really horrible hour not knowing." Right away, I see this is about a difficult period.

Now, let's consider the senses. Sense 1 is the standard 1/24th of a day – a duration of time. Sense 2 is clock time, a specific time of day. Sense 3 is a special, memorable period, and Sense 4 is distance, which is less likely.

The phrase "spent a really horrible hour" generally points to spending roughly 60 minutes in a horrible state. It's about duration. Sense 1, the time duration, seems the most obvious fit. It's the literal passage of time, even when the time is described as "horrible". However, let's consider Sense 3, a "memorable period." Hmm, the phrase "spent an hour" typically refers to the literal passage of time.

Back to Sense 1, "spent a really horrible hour not knowing". The core of the issue is the duration of the lack of communication. Yes, Sense 1 makes the most sense. The "horrible" part modifies the duration. Sense 1 is the best fit.

**Analyzing the "Knowing" Context**

Okay, so the target word is "knowing," derived from "know," and the context is, "Biggest trouble was scared family who couldn't get a phone line through, and spent a really horrible hour not knowing." Right away, it feels like we're dealing with a lack of awareness, a deficit of information. The family was in distress because they didn't "know" something – specifically, the state of their relative.

Let's quickly zero in on the relevant sense in WordNet. Sense 1, "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about," seems like a perfect match. The family's "not knowing" is directly tied to their lack of information regarding the safety of their loved one. They were missing a crucial piece of the puzzle, and this caused them immense distress.

I'll quickly scan the other senses just to make sure we haven't missed anything, but I'm pretty confident in my initial assessment. "Know how to do," awareness of truth, familiarity, firsthand knowledge, acceptance, fixed in mind, sexual knowing, nature or character knowing, distinguish, perceive as familiar, those are all not even remotely relevant here. Sense 1 is the cleanest and most accurate. The "not knowing" directly relates to the family's ignorance of specific facts. That's the core of it.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Started" in Context**

Okay, the target is "start," specifically "started" in the sentence "Judy and I were in our back yard when the lawn started rolling like ocean waves." I need to determine the most accurate sense of "start" here.  I see a list of candidate senses, and my initial thought is that this is a "start doing something" case, a catenative use. That narrows it down, potentially, to sense 1 ("take the first step in carrying out an action") or sense 4 ("have a beginning...").

Let's break it down further.  I remember seeing "We began working at dawn" as an example of sense 1, and so my instinct is to use this context as the equivalent to my "started rolling" context.  However, this context has "the lawn" as the subject.  It's inanimate. Does that change things?  I need to verify if sense 1 applies when the subject isn't an agent.

I'm consulting WordNet for these senses. Sense 1 is defined as "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action."  Sense 4 is "have a beginning, in a temporal... sense."  WordNet's sense 9 also includes "begin or set in motion", and I have to consider 8 as well: "get going or set in motion". Even 2, which is "set in motion, cause to start", is worth a look.

Hold on a second, that's it! I remember that WordNet often groups gerund/infinitive complements of "start" under a specific sense. I need to be sure. I'm checking start%2:30:00, which has the definition of "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action." Synonyms include things like "begin".

I'm thinking that sense 9 is an option too, but I'm recalling from SemCor that "it started to rain" is tagged with sense 2:30:00. This is strong evidence! It's a "start" + verb(ing) construction, matching the "began working" example.  "Rolling like ocean waves" is the action that the lawn is *beginning*.  So, I can confidently say that the best sense is 1 (or the WordNet representation, 2:30:00). It makes sense.

I'm just going to double-check that there isn't some other hidden meaning, just to be thorough. I check the others again. Sense 4, "have a beginning..." doesn't feel right. Neither does 12 or 13.

Therefore, sense 1 (2:30:00) is the most accurate; it's the aspectual "start" taking a gerund, equivalent to "began working."

**Analyzing the Earthquake's Lawn Undulation**

Okay, so the prompt describes the lawn moving "like ocean waves." My initial thought is this must describe ground undulation caused by seismic activity, something I can relate to from my experience. Let's dig deeper. Candidate 3 is a possibility, with terms like "undulate" and examples of rolling hills, but that's static shapes that *appear* to roll. Not quite what I'm looking for.

Candidate 11, though – now *that* seems promising. It uses the term "move in a wavy pattern or with a rising and falling motion," and the synonyms "undulate, flap, wave" really hit the mark. The examples, "The curtains undulated; the waves rolled towards the beach," feel like a perfect fit, directly capturing the context's "rolling like ocean waves" description. This motion of the earth is exactly what I would expect in this scenario.

I'll quickly review the specifics of Candidate 11: `sense_key=roll%2:38:10:: | definition=move in a wavy pattern or with a rising and falling motion | synonyms=undulate, flap, wave | examples=The curtains undulated; the waves rolled towards the beach`. Spot on!

Candidate 13 is closer, "move, rock, or sway from side to side" – like a ship on the sea - but this is still slightly off, as the primary motion being described is rising and falling, not side to side. So I'm confident Candidate 11 is the most precise. It directly reflects the wavy, rising and falling motion indicated by the initial context, and the examples are perfectly aligned with the phenomenon I'm trying to interpret. Candidate 11 it is.

**Analyzing the "Ocean" in "Like Ocean Waves"**

Okay, so the target here is the word "ocean" in the phrase "like ocean waves," within the context of an earthquake description. The sentence paints a picture of a lawn behaving in a rather unusual way. My immediate thought is to consider what "ocean" actually *means* in this context, focusing on how it modifies "waves." Clearly, it's not some abstract concept; it's indicating *actual* ocean waves, right? The lawn is behaving in a way *resembling* those specific waves.

Therefore, the first sense of "ocean" – the large body of water that’s a major part of the hydrosphere – is the most fitting. Sense two, implying something limitless, is less relevant here. While an earthquake might feel overwhelming, the phrase "ocean waves" is about physical characteristics, not abstract concepts. The imagery is about the *appearance* of the rolling lawn, likening it to the familiar and defined phenomenon of waves *within* the ocean. The focus is on the concrete, not the metaphorical.

**Analyzing "Waves" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "wave," and the surface form is "waves." The context is key: "Judy and I were in our back yard when the lawn started rolling like ocean waves. We ran into the house to get Mame..." My expertise immediately kicks in – it's all about disambiguation. The context clearly establishes that we're dealing with "ocean waves," a specific kind of phenomenon.

Now, let's look at the senses. Sense 1, "one of a series of ridges that moves across the surface of a liquid (especially across a large body of water)," is the perfect fit. It's the standard definition we'd expect in this situation, aligning perfectly with the phrase "ocean waves."

The other candidates, I have to dismiss. Candidate 2, "a movement like that of a sudden occurrence," could be relevant but doesn't capture the visual description. Candidate 3, "(physics) a movement up and down or back and forth," is too general, though it's related. Candidate 4, "something that rises rapidly," also doesn't fit the described rolling movement. The other candidates are irrelevant to this context. Sense 1 is the obvious and unambiguous choice, given the context.

**Analyzing the Verb "Ran" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "run" and the surface form is "ran." The context is "We ran into the house to get Mame..." My initial thought is that the meaning is likely the physical act of running, moving fast on foot. Let's see what the senses provide.

I've got two promising senses to consider: Sense 1, which defines "run" as "move fast by using one's feet, with one foot off the ground at any given time," and Sense 34, which is broader, "travel rapidly, by any (unspecified) means." Sense 1 immediately feels right, given the phrase "ran into the house." The examples for Sense 1, like "The children ran to the store," are clearly analogous.

Now, hold on. "Ran into." Is that a phrasal verb? No, "ran" is the verb, and "into the house" is a directional prepositional phrase. That clarifies it. This isn't a case of a combined verb meaning. "We ran into the house to get Mame" clearly indicates the physical act of moving fast.

Let's do a quick double-check. The context involves a family escaping an earthquake, so they were running, physically running, into the house. They were in the backyard, lawn rolling, so they definitely used their feet to escape. Sense 1 is the match.

Okay, let's nail this down. "We ran into the house" = We moved fast by using our feet, into the house. Sense 1 is the perfect fit. So, the correct sense index is 1. Done.

**Analyzing the Word "House" in Context**

Okay, the word in question is "house." The context is: "Judy and I were in our back yard when the lawn started rolling like ocean waves. We ran into the house to get Mame..." My immediate thought, given the context of running *into* something from the *back yard*, is that we're talking about their dwelling – the physical building they live in. Let's see if the machine agrees.

My first candidate is: sense_key=house%1:06:00:: | definition=a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families. Bingo! That definition is a perfect fit. It's the standard, most likely meaning given the setting.

Let's quickly check the other possibilities. I have to make sure my initial assessment is sound.

*   A business firm? No.
*   A religious community? Definitely not.
*   An audience? Unlikely.
*   A legislature? Nope.
*   An aristocratic family line? Absolutely not.
*   Children's play? No way.
*   Astrology? Not related.
*   Casino management? No.
*   A social unit living together (family)? This *could* be a related concept, but given the action of running *into* the "house", it's the physical structure we are looking at.
*   A theater? No.
*   A building in which something is sheltered? This is possibly more like a garage.

The context is crucial here. They ran *into* it from the back yard. Candidate 1, the physical dwelling, fits perfectly. The shelter context (Candidate 12) is incorrect, because that is usually for carriages, not people. Therefore, based on the context, I'm confident that Candidate 1, the definition of a dwelling, is the correct interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Get"**

Okay, so the sentence is "We ran into the house to get Mame, but the next tremor threw me in the air..." My target word is "get." My initial thought is that Mame is likely a pet or family member. Given the context of a tremor, they are running in to retrieve or rescue Mame.

Let's look at the senses. Sense 6, "go or come after and bring or take back" (synonyms: bring, convey, fetch), immediately jumps out. The examples fit well: "Get me those books over there, please." Sounds like a good fit.

Hmm, but is Mame a person or an animal? The phrase "Mame was extremely freaked" makes me think it could be either. It doesn't matter, though; sense 6 works regardless. It is about *fetching* someone or something.

Okay, let's nail this down. Does Sense 6 definition fit? Yes, "go or come after and bring or take back." The synonyms "bring," "convey," and "fetch" solidify this. The context clearly suggests going to fetch someone to bring them to safety.

Let's quickly check for any alternative senses. Is there a "rescue" sense? Nope. How about a "fetch" sense? Yes, it's Sense 6.

So, "We ran into the house to get Mame" is essentially "We ran into the house to fetch Mame."

Let's run through the other definitions just to be thorough. Sense 2 (enter or assume a state), Sense 3 (cause to move), Sense 4 (receive a specified treatment), and Sense 5 (reach a destination) are clearly incorrect.

Sense 6 is definitely the correct one here, and I'm confident in that interpretation.

**Analyzing "Next" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "next," and it's appearing as "next" in the text – straightforward enough. My expert eye immediately zeroes in on the context: "We ran into the house to get Mame, but the next tremor threw me in the air..." Right away, I'm thinking about the possible senses we're dealing with. Let's break those down.

There's the sense of *immediate sequence in time or order* – following. Then, we have the spatial aspect, *nearest in space or position* – adjacent. And finally, the temporal aspect of *being elected but not yet in office* – future, succeeding.

Given the phrase "the next tremor," my analysis is pretty clear-cut. The tremor is not *adjacent* to anything spatially, nor is it a *succeeding* official. This context clearly implies a sequence of events. The tremor that happened *immediately following* the action of running into the house is the relevant one. Therefore, the first sense – immediately following in time or order – is undoubtedly the best fit here. It's a clear temporal relationship.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Tremor"**

Okay, the word is "tremor." The surrounding text is definitely pointing towards an earthquake, with descriptions of the lawn moving like waves and being thrown in the air – it's pretty clear. So, my initial candidates are: an involuntary vibration, a small earthquake (which seems likely given the context), or just general shaking or trembling.

Given the context, the earthquake definition is the clear winner. "Rolling like ocean waves" and being "thrown in the air" firmly anchor it. Let me just confirm if "small" is specifically implied; okay, the phrase "the next tremor" strongly supports it, since it is a seismic event. Sense 2 is the only option describing an earthquake.

Now, in seismology, "tremor" *is* specifically a small earthquake, but it's also used a bit more broadly. But given this particular scenario, I'm confident that the correct sense here is definitely the seismic one, particularly the *small* earthquake definition. Sense 2 it is.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Threw"**

Okay, the target is "throw" and the surface form is "threw." The context is "...the next tremor threw me in the air and bounced me as I tried to get to my feet." My goal is to pinpoint the exact meaning here.

My initial thought is that the tremor *propelled* the speaker upwards, so I'm looking for a meaning along those lines. I have two candidate senses: "throw%2:35:00::" – "propel through the air" – and "throw%2:38:00::" – "move violently, energetically, or carelessly".

Candidate 1 seems promising because it implies someone or something is propelling something through the air, and here the tremor is the propellent. Let's see if there's any other sense that could work. No, "cause to fall off" doesn't work.

But wait, is there a better sense from the second candidate? Considering "move violently, energetically, or carelessly", as in "She threw herself forwards". That doesn't really capture the meaning as closely as candidate 1.

Okay, let's drill down on candidate 1: "propel through the air." The phrase "threw me in the air" directly aligns with that. The tremor *propelled* me.

Let me double-check. I'm confident in "propel through the air". I'm thinking about "move violently" from candidate 2, but it doesn't fit as well. It doesn't really get to the core of it, the upward force. The word "propelled" does the best job.

Now, let's step back and consider WordNet's exact senses. Let's make sure I'm not missing anything. I recall these senses: "propel through the air" (sense 1), "move violently, energetically, or carelessly" (sense 2), and "place or put with great energy" (sense 4). Also, I have to remember "the horse threw its inexperienced rider". That's a different sense. That must be related to, sense 13, I believe, but I don't think it's the one here.

"the next tremor threw me in the air" means the tremor *propelled* me. So, "propel through the air" – sense 1 – is the best fit. I'm going with sense 1.

**Analyzing "Air" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "air," and the context is "...but the next tremor threw me in the air and bounced me as I tried to get to my feet." Right away, I'm thinking about the potential meanings. My initial instinct is to consider a few candidate senses: the actual gaseous mixture we breathe, the region above the ground, an intangible quality, a slight wind, the Earth's atmosphere, its historical elemental status, a musical succession, a radio/TV medium, or travel via aircraft. Given the phrase "threw me in the air," that makes sense number two, "the region above the ground," the clear winner. The tremor didn't throw me into a wind, or element, or a musical succession. It launched me *up*. So sense 2 it is.

**Analyzing "Bounced" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "bounced" in a sentence describing an earthquake. My initial thought is that the tremor is causing me to move up and down, but it's used transitively: the tremor *caused* me to bounce. Let's look at the possible senses. I'm seeing: bouncing back, hitting something so that it bounces, moving up and down repeatedly, coming back after being refused, leap suddenly, refuse to accept and send back, and eject. The key is it is the tremor acting upon me, the speaker.

Given the phrase "threw me in the air and bounced me," the core action seems to be the tremor's effect on me. It's not a direct 'hit' like bouncing a ball, that's sense 2 (hit something so that it bounces), but it's causing repeated vertical motion, like a jounce. The tremor *jounced* me. That is sense 3 (move up and down repeatedly). Jounce is a good synonym here, and it can also be transitive.

I considered sense 2, "hit something so that it bounces", like bouncing a ball. But the tremor is not "hitting" me in a way that implies a single impact, rather the whole thing is moving up and down. Sense 3, "move up and down repeatedly," is what seems to fit best. The tremor is moving the ground, and that movement is causing me to jounce.

I'm checking if the definition of "bounce" includes the transitive aspect. Merriam-Webster confirms that 'jounce' means "to cause to jolt or bounce," which fits perfectly. The tremor is *causing* me to jolt and bounce, so jounce aligns well with sense 3. I'm also considering sense 1 "spring back; spring away from an impact", which seems unlikely in this scenario.

I'm thinking about how the tremor "bounced" the speaker, and I'm leaning toward the notion that the tremor *caused* the speaker to move up and down. This seems to be the sense that makes the most sense. Sense 3 (move up and down repeatedly), seems right.

To make sure, I am evaluating the transitive aspect of bounce (meaning: moving up and down). The phrasing "bounce me" means *caused* me to move up and down repeatedly. Sense 2 is still on the table. However, since the tremor is moving the ground, causing a repeated motion on the speaker, it's very unlikely. Sense 3 seems more appropriate.

WordNet frames would be great to confirm, but I don't have those.

Given this analysis, I'm confident that sense 3, "move up and down repeatedly," is the most accurate. The tremor is *jouncing* the speaker.

**Analyzing the Word "Tried" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "try," and the surface form is "tried." The context sentence is: "We ran into the house to get Mame, but the next tremor threw me in the air and bounced me as I tried to get to my feet." My task is to determine the correct sense of "tried" within this sentence.

Let's break down the possibilities. The most immediately obvious meaning, and the one that fits the context *perfectly*, is that the speaker *made an effort* or *attempted* to stand. That's sense 1. We're talking about a physical struggle after being thrown and bounced by an earthquake. Synonyms that come to mind are "seek," "attempt," "essay," and "assay." That feels right. Think of the example sentence: "He tried to shake off his fears," or "The infant had essayed a few wobbly steps." They both match the nuances of my original sentence's context.

Let's quickly run through the other candidates, even though I'm pretty sure sense 1 is correct. Candidate 2, "test, try out," doesn't fit at all. There's no testing or experimentation going on here. Same for Candidate 3, "judge, adjudicate," Candidate 4, "sample, taste," and Candidate 5, "hear (evidence or a case)." Those are all completely off-base. "Give pain or trouble to" (Candidate 6) is a no, as is "test the limits of" (Candidate 7), "melt fat" (Candidate 8), and "try on" (Candidate 9).

Therefore, sense 1, "make an effort or attempt," is the only logical choice, given the context.

**Deconstructing "Fine" in the Aftermath**

Okay, so the word is "fine," and it's used in the sentence "We are all fine here, although Mame was extremely freaked." The lemma is straightforward: "fine." Now, let's parse the candidate senses.

Sense 1: "being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition" – that hits a bullseye. The definition, including the synonyms like "all right," "okay," and the example "the passengers were shaken up but are all right," screams "surviving a traumatic event, but without serious injury". That resonates with the context of something like an earthquake where the people are "freaked" out but are overall "fine."

Sense 2, "minutely precise," is completely off-base. Not applicable here.
Sense 3, "thin in thickness," nope.
Sense 4, "characterized by elegance," absolutely not.
Sense 5, "of textures that are smooth"... no.
Sense 6, "free from impurities" is similarly irrelevant.

Therefore, given the context, the meaning aligns perfectly with sense key 1. The sense index is, without a doubt, 1.
