**Deconstructing the Phrase "It Will Take a Little Time"**

Okay, let's break this down. The phrase "It will *take* a little time" - the key word here is "take." Given the context, I immediately interpret "take" not in its literal sense of physically acquiring something, but as *requiring* time. My expertise allows me to recognize that it's acting as a verb denoting the consumption of a duration.

Now, let's confirm this interpretation with my mental lexicon. I need to verify that Sense 2, which I have stored under the definition of "require (time or space)", is the correct fit. The synonyms listed – "occupy," "use up" – resonate perfectly with the meaning I'm inferring. The examples, like "It took three hours to get to work this morning," solidify this sense of "take" meaning "to require" a certain duration.

And yes, I see that Sense 2 directly aligns with our target phrase: "It will take a little time." This confirms the correct interpretation of the phrase. Therefore, in this context, "take" unequivocally means to require a specific quantity of time to complete.

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

Okay, the target is "time," and the context is "It will take a little time. I want to study your landlord's habits and movements first." My immediate thought is, the phrase "take a little time" is key. It indicates that "time" is being used as a quantity or duration. Let's look at the candidate senses.

Sense 2: time%1:28:05 – "a period of time considered as a resource under your control." Examples include "take time to smell the roses" or "I didn't have time to finish."
Sense 3: time%1:28:00 – "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)." Examples are "he waited a long time" or "the time of year for planting."

Hmm, "take a little time" feels similar to "he waited a long time." The sentence implies a duration is needed, in order to study the landlord's habits. "Take a little time" has an indefinite period, as in "he waited a long time."
But wait, Sense 2's example, "take time to smell the roses" implies time as a *resource.* If something "takes time," it requires a period.

Looking closer at the word "take" here, which sense fits best? If something *takes* time, it requires an indefinite period.
"Take a long time" clearly maps to Sense 3: an indefinite period. The phrase "a little time" should be parallel to that too. So Sense 3 looks more probable.

I'm thinking about how the phrase "it takes time" would apply. Does the sense of "time" shift depending on the verb "take?"
Looking at Sense 2 again: "a period of time considered as a resource." Is it a *resource* in "It will take a little time"? Actually, no. It’s an amount of time that is needed.
Now Sense 3: “an indefinite period.” Like in "he waited a long time". Yes.
When building a house it *takes* a lot of time - is this the same case? Let me check WordNet to confirm.

Is "time" an indefinite period? Yes.
So, "it takes a little time" is similar to "it takes a long time". That's what I'm thinking now.

Let me compare the examples.
Sense 3: "he waited a long time".
Sense 2: "take time to smell the roses", "I didn't have time to finish".
When you say "It will take a little time," you're talking about the extent of the period, so more like Sense 3.

"Take time to smell the roses" -- here "take" means to *devote* or *appropriate.* But in "It will take a little time," "take" means *require*.
So, "a little time" in "take a little time" just refers to a short, indefinite duration. And so, it must be Sense 3.

I'll check all the other senses just to be sure.
Sense 1: an instance. Not the right fit.
Sense 2: time as a resource. No.
Sense 3: an indefinite period. This seems right.
Sense 4: suitable moment. Doesn't work.
Sense 5: continuum of experience. No.

I'll revisit the difference between Sense 2 and 3 one last time.
"I didn't have time to finish" aligns with Sense 2. "He waited a long time" aligns with Sense 3. "It will take a little time," with "a little time" as "a short period," like "a long period."
Yes, I'm confident that Sense 3 is correct.

**Analyzing the Verb "Want" in Context**

Okay, so the task at hand is to determine the correct sense of "want" in the phrase "I <t>want</t> to study your landlord's habits and movements first." Clearly, the target form and lemma are identical, making this a straightforward lexical disambiguation.

The context provides a vital clue. We have a speaker, and the sentence implies a specific course of action is desired. I've got five options to choose from: feeling desire, having a need, hunting/looking, wishing/demanding presence, or being without/lacking.

My initial instinct, and I think any linguistically-inclined person would agree, is that the speaker "feels a desire for" or "wants strongly" to study the landlord's habits. It's a clear indication of intention. It's also possible to interpret this as "I need to study," which aligns with "have need of," but the phrasing "want to" usually leans towards volition and desire.

Let's do a quick comparison using an example sentence of the first sense, like "I want to go home now." It's almost the exact same structure as the target sentence, and fits perfectly. The second sense, exemplified by "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner," typically applies to inanimate objects, not a thinking human subject. Therefore, based on the provided examples and my understanding of word sense disambiguation, Sense 1, "feel or have a desire for," is the best fit.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Study"**

Okay, the target word is "study," and the context is, "I want to study your landlord's habits and movements first." My immediate task is to dissect the possible senses of "study" to find the most fitting interpretation.

I've got a range of candidate senses here. First, there’s the obvious one: "consider in detail and subject to analysis" – synonyms like "analyze" and "examine" jump out. That feels right, given the phrasing. We're talking about observing and breaking down the landlord's behavior. Then there’s the more direct “be a student; follow a course of study,” which doesn't seem to apply in this context. And also "give careful consideration to," which could fit, but feels less precise here. Additionally, "be a student of a certain subject," "learn by reading books," and "think intently and at length" are also possibilities, but they don't quite capture the nature of this situation.

In this specific scenario, the goal is, from the given context, to analyze the landlord's habits with a very dark ulterior motive, it looks like, to make the murder look like an accident. So, the analysis is clearly for a specific, likely nefarious, purpose. This makes Sense 1, "consider in detail and subject to an analysis," the strongest contender. "Study someone's habits" directly translates to analyzing or examining those habits.

Now, let's compare that to Sense 3, which is "give careful consideration to." While "consider" could fit, it leans more towards contemplating an idea or option, not a thorough examination of behavior.

So, after careful consideration, Sense 1 remains the best fit. I'll stick with that interpretation.

**Analyzing "Habits" in a Deadly Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "habits," and I need to determine its sense in the phrase "I want to study your landlord's habits and movements." I'm essentially trying to deduce what a hitman would be looking for in a target's routine.

Immediately, I'm thinking about two candidate senses from WordNet. The first, `habit%1:09:00::`, which boils down to an "established custom" or "wont". This makes sense, as a hitman would be interested in the target's predictable routines: when they eat, leave the house, go to work, etc. The second, `habit%1:04:02::`, is a psychological "automatic pattern of behavior" – like twirling your hair or owls being nocturnal.

The phrase "habits and movements" is key. That combination *strongly* suggests regular activities, predictable actions, a routine. Is this a "custom" or an "automatic pattern"? Considering "landlord's habits and movements," I'm leaning heavily towards "established custom" (sense 1). The assassin needs to know when the target is *likely* to be in a vulnerable position.

The example "It was their habit to dine at 7 every evening" perfectly illustrates the kind of information a hitman needs. It's a precise, predictable schedule. Sense 2, with its focus on automatic patterns (like a nervous tick), doesn't quite fit the operational needs here. Is a daily schedule a custom or a pattern of behavior?

So, I check WordNet further. Sense 1 is noun.act; synonym: wont. Sense 2 is noun.act. The combination of "habits and movements" is crucial.

I need to nail this, so I double-check. Sense 1: "established custom." The example "it was their habit to dine at 7 every evening" really clinches it. Studying "habits and movements" is about studying a schedule/routine. Sense 2 describes a psychological reflex; a routine is not a psychological reflex.

I'm confident. For the purposes of this deadly analysis, I'm going with Sense 1. The hitman is studying the target's "established customs" – their routine and predictable behaviors. That's the key.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Movements" in Context**

Okay, the target is "movements," and the surface form is plural, so I need to nail down the precise meaning within this context. The sentence is, "I want to study your landlord's habits and movements first. You see, I always make it look like an accident." My initial read is that "movements" refers to the actions of changing location, the places the landlord goes, their coming and going – their travel patterns, essentially.

Let's quickly review the candidate senses and narrow them down. I have:

1.  *movement%1:04:00:: a change of position that does not entail a change of location* - That's a reflex, not what I'm looking for here.
2.  *movement%1:04:04:: the act of changing location from one place to another* - This sounds promising, the core concept of coming and going. The assassin is interested in where the landlord *goes*.
3.  *movement%1:11:00:: a natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something* - Doesn't seem relevant.
4.  *movement%1:14:00:: a group of people with a common ideology* - Definitely not applicable.
5.  *movement%1:10:00:: major self-contained part of a symphony* - No.
6.  *movement%1:04:03:: a series of actions advancing a principle (campaign)* - Nope.
7.  *movement%1:19:00:: optical illusion* - Also not relevant.
8.  *movement%1:22:00:: bowel movement* - Unlikely.
9.  *movement%1:09:00:: general tendency to change (drift)* - This is too broad and imprecise in this case.
10. *movement%1:06:00:: driving mechanism of a watch* - No.
11. *movement%1:04:02:: the act of changing the location of something (e.g., cargo)* - This is more the active transitive form, so not quite right.

Sense 2, *movement%1:04:04*, seems like the strongest contender. It captures the landlord's "coming and going" and "daily routines of moving around." It's the act of changing location. It fits because of the "habits and movements" phrase, it's clear the subject is interested in tracking the landlord's *whereabouts*. This seems better than sense 1. Sense 1 is about a change in position, but not location. The killer wants to track where the landlord *goes*.

To be sure, let's check the synonyms for Sense 2: *motion, move*. That reinforces the idea of someone changing their physical location. Examples like "the movement of people from the farms to the cities" strongly support this interpretation.

Looking at WordNet 3.0 confirms my assessment. It provides similar definitions for these senses. Sense 2 is explicitly the "act of changing location from one place to another".

So, I think I've got it. The most appropriate sense is the second one, because it's about the act of changing location. Therefore, the sense index is 2.

**Analyzing the Use of "See" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "see," and the sentence is "You see, I always make it look like an accident." My initial thought is that this isn't about literal visual perception. It feels more like a conversational filler, something to ensure the listener is with me or to set up an explanation. I'm immediately leaning towards the "understand, realize" sense.

I need to confirm that. Is "you see" often used parenthetically to mean "you understand"? Yes, absolutely. It's almost a direct synonym. I'm thinking of the second sense, the mental perception: "understand, realize." That seems like the right path. "Now I see!" exemplifies that perfectly. I just can't see your point.

Okay, is there a distinct entry for just the conversational "you see"? I need to see. Thinking about it, the second sense, the "understand" sense, appears to cover the conversational use perfectly. When someone says, "You see," they're essentially saying, "You understand," or "You realize."

Alright, let's explore. I'm going to check other possibilities, to make sure. I'm checking alternatives, running the other senses through my mind, which are: 1. perceive by sight, 2. perceive mentally (understand), 3. witness, 4. visualize, 5. consider, reckon, 6. learn, find out...

Okay, yeah, sense 2 is the most appropriate. With "You understand, I always make it look like an accident," the meaning holds.

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

Okay, the target is "make" and the surface form is "make" within the phrase "I always make it look like an accident." My initial thought is that "make" here means something like "cause to be" or "cause to appear," but let's delve deeper.

First, I'll examine the potential senses. I've identified several contenders:

*   **Sense 2 (make%2:30:00::):** "give certain properties to something." The examples include "get someone mad" and "She made us look silly".
*   **Sense 4 (make%2:32:00::):** "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner." Examples include "The ads induced me to buy a VCR".
*   **Sense 8 (make%2:36:15::):** "compel or make somebody or something to act in a certain way." Example, "Heat makes you sweat".

The phrase "make it look like an accident" presents a structure similar to "She made us look silly," with "look" functioning as a bare infinitive. The "it" is the object that is being made to have a property or "look" a certain way.

Let's look at the nuances. In "She made us look silly," "look" is a linking verb and "silly" is an adjective. In "make it look like an accident", "look" functions as a linking verb followed by a similar descriptive (a phrase of description).

Now, let's circle back to Sense 2: "give certain properties to something." That seems promising, as "make it look like an accident" is about causing the situation to appear as an accident. I confirm that "She made us look silly" is an example of make%2:30:00::.

I considered other alternatives, such as the meaning "make or cause to be" as in sense 3, but that's a less direct fit. Also, I looked for a sense that meant "consider as being", but that wasn't applicable. I also checked another sense for "represent fictitiously, as in a play, or pretend to be or act like", but that would be for phrases such as "make like" and does not apply here.

Ultimately, Sense 2 is the closest match, "make it look like an accident" - I can see how giving the situation the property of "looking like an accident" fits the definition. The example "She made us look silly" is a near-perfect parallel in structure and meaning. This is a clear case of causing something to have a particular appearance. Therefore, based on the structure and definition, sense 2 is the most appropriate. I'm quite certain of this assignment.

**Analyzing the Word "Suicide" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "suicide," and the text uses it exactly as it appears: "suicide." Let's dive into the context: "...I always make it look like an accident. Maybe suicide, if it looks reasonable..." Right away, I'm keying into the potential ambiguity here. I've got two candidate senses: the *act* of suicide (suicide%1:04:00) and the *person* who commits suicide (suicide%1:18:00). My experience tells me I need to be precise here.

The crucial clue is "make it look like an accident...Maybe suicide." This strongly suggests the speaker is manipulating a situation to *appear* as suicide, implying a cover-up. The speaker is making someone's murder look like suicide. This leans heavily toward the *act* of ending one's life. The speaker is referring to how they can make a death look like the victim died of suicide.

Therefore, sense 1, "the act of killing yourself," is definitely the right choice. It's the action being mimicked or manufactured in this scenario, not the person who is the victim. The context clearly revolves around a method of causing a death that's then made to resemble the act of suicide. That's the key differentiator here.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Looks"**

Okay, so the lemma is "look," but the surface form is "looks," and the context is that unsettling phrase: "... Maybe suicide, if it looks reasonable." My mind immediately jumps to disambiguation. We're talking about figurative language here, so the literal senses are out. Let's break down the possibilities, keeping in mind the meaning is likely to be "appears reasonable" or "seems reasonable."

Now, let's consider the senses.
*   **Sense 1:** Focusing on perception or directing one's gaze – completely irrelevant.
*   **Sense 2:** "Give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect," with synonyms like "appear" and "seem." This feels promising; it's exactly the kind of nuance we're looking for.
*   **Sense 3:** Facial expression – also off the mark in this instance.

The phrase "if it looks reasonable" is clearly functioning as a copula, linking the subject "it" to the adjective "reasonable." It’s an assertion about how something is perceived, not how something is observed or what expression is present. The word “appears” seems to fit really well in the sentence: “If it appears reasonable…”

Okay, let's verify. Let me quickly swap "looks" for "appears" and “seems." Yes, the resulting sentence, "if it appears reasonable" or "if it seems reasonable," is entirely coherent, with its meaning intact. It aligns perfectly with the Sense 2 definition – "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect." Thus, Sense 2 is the clear winner. This is a simple case of a sense requiring a copula function.

**Deconstructing "Trouble" in this Context**

Okay, so the target is "trouble" in this particular phrase: "In that way there's no trouble for the customer." My thinking started with the understanding that I'm setting up an "accident" to avoid something negative befalling the client, likely an investigation, repercussions. So, the "trouble" here isn't a minor annoyance. It's about escaping unwanted consequences, complications, legal difficulties – the potential of being implicated or, worse, arrested.

First instinct, I started considering possible senses. I quickly ran through the possibilities in my mind. Sense 1, "a source of difficulty," seems like a contender. It's synonymous with "problem," and the customer wants to avoid any such difficulties. Then I pondered if it could be Sense 4, which is about "an effort that is inconvenient". I quickly discounted this, because the "trouble" here isn't about *their* effort. The phrase is about their avoidance of legal problems, which I've determined means trouble%1:09:00, "a source of difficulty".

Then, I looked at "trouble" being a "hassle," which is Sense 2. "An angry disturbance." "In that way, there's no hassle for the customer." It could be, but "hassle" doesn't quite capture the severity, the legal implication I'm after here.

Let's look at the synonyms for trouble%1:09:00:: "a source of difficulty". Problem. Yes, that clicks. "In that way there's no problem for the customer". That's it!

So, the phrase, "In that way there's no trouble for the customer" means "In that way there's no problem for the customer." The assassination is disguised as an accident. If it looks like murder, the police investigate who had a motive, which leads to the customer, and they are arrested. That's a problem for the customer. Therefore, "In that way there's no problem for the customer". So, by making it look like an accident, I'm ensuring the customer stays out of trouble, i.e., avoids problems with the authorities. I'm going with Sense 1. This sense captures the legal, problematic outcome the customer wants to avoid.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Flew" in Context**

Okay, the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "flew" in the phrase "Haney's eyebrows flew up." The lemma is "fly," and the surface form is "flew." Right, the context immediately suggests a non-literal usage, dealing with movement of Haney's eyebrows, not actual flight.

Now, let's consider the candidate senses. We have a list... senses related to aerial travel, like being airborne, operating an aircraft, or transporting by plane. Those are clearly out. Some deal with causing something to fly. Also not appropriate here. Other possibilities include meanings related to movement, dissemination, quick emotional changes, passing away, displaying, running away, travelling, hitting a fly, or rapid decrease.

"Eyebrows flew up" describes a rapid, upward motion of eyebrows. That jumps out immediately as corresponding with the sense that means *move quickly or suddenly*. The example "He flew about the place" supports this interpretation; it shows rapid movement. This must be it: Sense 2, "move quickly or suddenly," is the closest fit. No other sense fits the context as well.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Smiled"**

Okay, so I'm looking at "smiled" as the surface form, and the target lemma is "smile." The context is "Pete smiled modestly." Immediately, I'm thinking about the possible senses from my knowledge base. There are two potential meanings jumping out:

1.  The standard, literal change in facial expression – the one we typically think of when we see someone smile to show pleasure or a similar emotion.
2.  The more figurative use, where "smile" functions more like a verb of communication, where someone *expresses* something *with* a smile, potentially taking a direct object ("smiled her thanks").

Given the context, "Pete smiled modestly", it's pretty clear that the first sense is the one we want. Pete isn't expressing something *with* a smile that takes a direct object, he is just performing the action of smiling, modifying his facial expression. Therefore, sense 1 is definitely the better fit.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Said"**

Okay, the target lemma is "say" and the surface form is "said." The context is "It's my line of work," he said. My initial thought is that "said" following a direct quote usually means either "express in words" (sense 1) or "utter aloud" (sense 8). Let's dig deeper. If I look at the definition of "express in words", it looks right: "He said that he wanted to marry her." "Utter aloud," could also apply: "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office". Now, I'm leaning toward "express in words" because it encompasses the content of the speech, but "utter aloud" focuses on the action of speaking.

If I think about SemCor's guidelines, direct speech is usually represented by sense 1. WordNet's definition for sense 1 (`say%2:32:00::`) confirms this: "state, tell." Okay, to confirm, "express in words," with example sentences like "He said that he wanted to marry her".

I'm starting to think this is sense 1. To clarify, I should consider the other sense of "utter aloud."

Is the direct speech of "He said, 'I am going'" a sense 1? Yes, it is! Sense 8, "utter aloud", refers to examples "say hello." Sense 1 seems most appropriate here. So, let's go with "express in words" (sense 1).

**Deconstructing "Minutes"**

Okay, the target word is "minutes," specifically in the phrase "Five minutes later." My initial reaction is to consider its various senses. We have time, certainly, but how is it being *used* here? The phrase is "Five minutes later," so it refers to something happening *after* a period of time. Let's look at the options.

Is this about distance or time? The phrase "Five minutes later" clearly points to a point in time that comes after a delay, a duration. Actually, "Five minutes later" refers to an interval, an amount of time that is 5 minutes. Now, given that context, "later" implies that a specific unit of time has passed. So, "Five minutes" *here* must express the duration. Sense 1—a unit of time equal to 60 seconds—seems like a direct fit.

Let me test that. Sense 1: it is defined as a unit of 60 seconds. Fits perfectly. Sense 6, distance, is not relevant here. So, "Five minutes later" indicates that 5 units of 60 seconds have elapsed. Therefore, the unit of time, sense 1, is the correct interpretation. I am now confident.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Make" in "Make His Break"**

Okay, so I'm dissecting this phrase, "make his break," specifically focusing on the verb "make." Immediately, my expert brain goes to "make" as a light verb – it's a very common construction. The phrase suggests performing, executing something. Let's see... looking at the dictionary entries, I need the sense of "make" that relates to "performing" an action, in this case, a "break."

I skim through the definitions: "engage in" isn't right, nor are those about giving properties. Hmm, "make or cause to be or become" isn't quite it either. Number 16 jumps out: "perform or carry out" – it provides great examples like "make a decision" or "make a move." Bingo! "Make his break" aligns perfectly with the idea of *performing* the action of breaking free, making an escape.

I consider other options; number 24, "carry out or commit", seems similar, but 16 seems more natural here and the examples are better. Just to be sure, let's examine the nuances of those options: "make a decision" or "make a move" are classic instances of this light verb usage. Sense 16 is definitely the correct fit.

I review sense 16: `sense_key=make%2:36:12:: | definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision; make a move`.

Now, is this an idiom? Yes, but here it's literally "make his break" means perform his break.

So, it's settled. Sense 16 is the most accurate and elegant interpretation.

**Analyzing the Context of "Stranger"**

Okay, so the target is "stranger" in this sentence: "...before Haney could make his break, the stranger stood up and nodded farewell." I've got a couple of candidate senses in mind: firstly, the "alien" sense, someone who doesn't belong in the environment. Secondly, the more straightforward "unacquainted individual" sense.

Now, the context gives us "Pete" as a potential referent. Is *Pete* the stranger, or is Pete being described *to* Haney as the stranger? Hmmm, "Pete smiled modestly... Five minutes later... the stranger stood up and nodded farewell." So, "the stranger" is *replacing* Pete in the narration. Is it because Pete is out of place, or because Haney doesn't know him well? Let's assume the latter.

He *is* named Pete, but the narrator calls him "the stranger" relative to Haney. It's really from Haney's perspective, or maybe just someone Haney doesn't know well. So, the key is Haney's lack of acquaintance. The first sense "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" doesn't quite fit based on the limited context. The second, "an individual that one is not acquainted with," feels more promising.

Let's look closely at the usage: "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell." This *strongly* suggests someone *unknown* to Haney. So, "an individual that one is not acquainted with" is spot-on for the common meaning of "stranger" here.

Sense 1 evokes more like "stranger in a strange land." Sense 2 directly captures the 'he's a stranger to me' nuance. We are explicitly told "Pete smiled modestly". They were, at least, interacting. So, he is *a* stranger. The text indicates that 'stranger' denotes a person who is unknown to Haney (Sense 2).

Let's confirm Sense 2 is correct here. Yes, the correct sense, in this case, is indeed "someone Haney didn't know previously," meaning an unacquainted person. Excellent.

Here's my analysis of the phrase "stood up" in the given context:

**Analyzing "Stood Up"**

Okay, so the target phrase is "stood up" and it's used in the sentence "…before Haney could make his break, the stranger stood up and nodded farewell." My initial thought is to identify the various senses this phrase could carry. I quickly brainstorm possible interpretations, recognizing the potential for ambiguity.

The most likely sense, given the context of someone nodding farewell, is definitely the first one: **"rise to one's feet"**. The other potential senses – like refusing to back down, putting something upright, simply being upright, defending against attack, resisting wear, or rising up in fear – seem highly improbable here. The stranger's action is directly linked to leaving, making the physical act of getting up the only reasonable interpretation. Therefore, the phrase clearly means the stranger rose from a seated or prone position in order to depart. Case closed.

**Analyzing the "Nodded" Context**

Okay, so the word I'm focusing on is "nodded," the past tense of "nod." The sentence is: "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell." My job is to figure out what "nodded" means here.

Looking at the context, it's clear the stranger isn't just bobbing their head. It's about communicating farewell through the action of nodding. My candidate senses are: one, which is *express or signify by nodding*, for example, "He nodded his approval"; and two, to *lower and raise the head, as to indicate assent or agreement or confirmation*, for example, "The teacher nodded when the student gave the right answer."

Given the "farewell" part of the sentence, "express or signify by nodding" is the obvious winner. It's clearly a transitive use of "nod," where "farewell" is the object. It's similar to "nodded approval". Sense two is more about a simple gesture of agreement or assent, which doesn't quite fit the context.

Let's do a final check. If I substitute "express or signify by nodding" into the sentence, it fits perfectly: "the stranger stood up and expressed farewell by nodding." That's the one. Sense one it is.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Farewell"**

Okay, so the target is "farewell," and the context is "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell." My initial assessment is that this is straightforward, but let's be thorough. We have two candidate senses to consider: one related to the *expression* of goodwill at parting, and the other to the *act* of departing.

Initially, "nodded farewell" seems to suggest the expression, the *message* of farewell, which aligns with acknowledging a parting. However, I need to be precise. Is "nodded farewell" the *act* of leaving, or the *expression* accompanying the leave-taking? It can't be both. Let's compare this to something like "saying farewell." That phrasing feels analogous to "nodding farewell," and in that phrase, "farewell" is the *word* being said.

Let me cross-reference with WordNet, which I trust to give the exact semantic breakdown. Ah, yes, confirming my thoughts. Sense 1 is explicitly defined as an acknowledgment or expression of goodwill at parting – precisely what "nodding" communicates. Sense 2 is the act of departing itself, which, "he disliked long farewells" demonstrates, does not suit my context at all.

So, "nodded farewell" means "nodded an acknowledgment or expression of goodwill at parting." It's the *nod* that's the action. Therefore, I can confidently select Sense 1. The nod expresses the goodwill, the message of departure.

**Analyzing the Verb "Watched"**

Okay, so the target word here is "watched" in the context of "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door..." My initial thought is to figure out the right sense of "watch." Let's break down the possibilities. There's "look attentively," "follow with the eyes or mind," "see or watch," "observe with attention," and a few others.

My first instinct is to consider whether it's simply a matter of Haney *observing* the man's action. "Watch" could mean *following* with the eyes, which aligns with sense 2, but other senses seem possible. So, I look at the syntax: "watched [someone] [do something]." This structure narrows down the possibilities.

I'm thinking, what about the nuances? Sense 2 ("follow with the eyes") sounds like tracking movement. And there is a slight implication of *vigilance* in some uses of *watch*.

So, I check WordNet definitions. Sense 2 includes synonyms like "observe" and "follow". Sense 4 is "observe with attention," which seems close. The context is "watched him *leave*". It's not a case of monitoring or keeping an eye on him. I'm drawn back to the idea of the "observe" sense in a more general sense.

I consider the examples given, such as "They watched as the murderer was executed," which are all observation. If it's a *perceptual* verb, the direct object implies active focus.

I compare again "look attentively" to "observe with attention" to "follow with the eyes." When I consider "Haney watched the man slip out the door," it is "following with the eyes". This is tracking the man's movement in time, but it's not monitoring. It's perceiving an event, right?

I focus again on the common patterns. In this case, "watch [someone] do something."

I go back to the definitions:
*   watch1: look attentively
*   watch2: follow with the eyes or the mind
*   watch3: see or watch
*   watch4: observe with attention

Again, I ask: what's the most *specific* fit? Is it *tracking* his actions? Or is it a passive *look*?

Examining examples with SemCor, I focus on the "watch" + bare infinitive structure: "he watched the children play" which is under watch%2:39:00:: "he watched her face" is also in the same sense. It's the action of observing.

In this instance, Sense 1 makes the most sense. It's Haney *look[ing] attentively* at the man slipping out. Sense 4 ("look on") is usually intransitive. And in this example, it's not guardianship (Sense 2).
The meaning seems most similar to "watch a basketball game."

I revisit Sense 2, "follow with the eyes or mind." It implies a *purposeful* and extended tracking. "Haney watched the man slip out" - is this continuous? No. It's perceiving the *action* of the man slipping out. And tracking the man's movement is not the primary definition. "watched the event" would be appropriate here.

Therefore, the final answer must be Sense 1. It is the best fit, and the most parsimonious.
