**Analyzing the Verb "sit_down" in Context**

Okay, so the target lemma here is "sit_down," and the surface form is "sitting down." The context is "...I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients..." I need to determine the intended sense. Immediately, I can see a few candidates: "be seated" (a state), "take a seat" (an action), and "show to a seat" (transitive).

Given the sentence, "I was just sitting down to meet..." it's clear that "sitting down" refers to the *action* of getting seated, the active process of settling into a chair *before* a meeting. That screams "take a seat," right? It's not a description of a state ("they *were* sitting down," which is more like "be seated"), nor is it transitive ("I was *sitting* someone down," doesn't fit). So, sense 2, "take a seat," seems most appropriate.

Let me just double-check, though, since the lemma is "sit_down". Let's look at it:
Sense 1: sit_down%2:35:03:: (be seated)
Sense 2: sit_down%2:38:00:: (take a seat)
Sense 3: sit_down%2:35:00:: (show to a seat)

Yes, I'm confirming that. "I was just sitting down" translates directly to "I was just taking a seat." Sense 2, the "take a seat" sense, is definitely the best fit.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Meet" in a Therapeutic Context**

Okay, so I'm trying to pin down the right meaning of "meet" in this sentence: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients." The building shaking like crazy throws a wrench in the works, but the core task is understanding the interaction. My initial thought is to figure out the intended meaning of "meet" in this context.

I've got a list of possible senses for "meet," and I need to select the most accurate one. Let me go through them. The first couple don't seem like good fits. Undergo? Contend? Nope. Satisfy a condition? Nope. Physical contact? Definitely not. Fill a want? Not quite. But, getting acquainted with them could happen, but not the primary purpose of "meet with." That brings me to the idea of coming together, and it's looking promising.

The context is a therapy session. So, the options that jump out are the ones related to coming together socially or for a specific purpose (Sense 11) and collecting in one place (Sense 10). "Meet with" is a specific phrase, so that suggests "getting together for a specific purpose," like a therapy session. The synonyms for sense 11, "get together," seem like a great match.

I'm thinking "meet with" someone usually implies having a meeting with them. Sense 11: get together socially or for a specific purpose. However, new clients means I'm getting acquainted with them, too. But the phrase is "meet with."

Now, let's consider the breakdown from WordNet. I can see the list there: coming together, collecting in one place, getting together, satisfy or fulfill, satisfy a condition, physical contact, be adjacent or come together, fill a want or need, arrive at a location, contend against an opponent, experience a reaction, undergo, and finally, getting to know.

Looking at "meet with" and the WordNet definitions, it seems like "getting together for a specific purpose" is still the best fit. I'm focusing on "meet with clients." It implies a scheduled session, not just an informal encounter.

Okay, I've confirmed that the best option is Sense 11: get together socially or for a specific purpose. The key is that "meet with" is a phrase, and in this context, it implies a meeting or therapy session. I can definitively say that I am interpreting "meet with" to mean having a scheduled session with these new clients.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "New" in a Therapeutic Context**

Okay, the target word is "new," and the context is meeting "some new therapy clients." My mind immediately starts sifting through the possible senses of "new." The sheer range of meanings – from the temporal sense (recent acquisition) to the sense of "different" or "unfamiliar" – requires careful parsing here.

My initial thought, as a therapist, is to determine if the "new" implies *novelty* or simply that these are *additional* clients. I consider the candidate senses: 1 (recent acquisition), 9 ("other than the former ones"), and 10 (unfamiliar). Sense 1 seems the most immediately relevant. It refers to something "having just… been acquired or discovered." Yes, that seems right.

But, I must remain methodical. I then examine Sense 9, which indicates "different from the previous." Could it be that these clients *replace* others? No, that is not the implication here. "New clients" clearly suggests recently acquired clients, not replacements. Sense 9 would more aptly describe a "new leader" replacing an existing one.

I explore the idea of "new therapy clients" meaning clients new to therapy. That, however, is not the context. Here, it refers to clients new to *me*, the therapist.

Let's look at sense 1 again. It perfectly captures the concept of newly acquired, recently onboarded clients: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered". The examples given such as "new law" and "new cars" help clarify this.

I verify my logic by considering "new employees" or "new members" within the same framework. In all these cases, "new" signifies recent acquisition, lending further weight to my conclusion. I then examine sense 10 ("unfamiliar") and 11 ("inexperienced"), just to rule them out.

My thought process then loops back to make sure there are no other possible meanings. After reviewing my thoughts I'm going with sense 1. They are newly acquired.

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

Okay, so the target is "client" in the plural, "clients," and the context is about a therapist meeting with some new patients. My initial thought is to consider the possible senses. We've got: a customer, a computer network node, and a legal client. Clearly, it's not a computer node, that's absurd. The legal client sense is too specific; therapy clients aren't *necessarily* legal clients. This *has* to be the general sense, the "someone who pays for goods or services" idea. Though the term "customer" doesn't quite capture the therapeutic relationship perfectly, it is still the closest meaning.

Hmm, but let me just double-check, because it's always good to be thorough. The other senses... no, still sticking with the initial definition. So, confirming with WordNet, we have "someone who pays for goods or services" and "a person who seeks the advice of a lawyer." Since we're dealing with a therapist, sense 1 is the best fit. I'm confident that sense 1 is appropriate.

**My Analysis of "Couple" in Context**

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "couple" in the context of "therapy clients." My initial thought is that it likely refers to a romantic couple, maybe a married or dating pair, because of the "couples therapy" context. I immediately consider the two candidate senses in my knowledge base: one as a general "pair who associate," and the other as "a pair of people who live together."

I'm leaning toward the "live together" sense because of the therapy context; couples therapy *usually* implies a romantic relationship, often involving people who live together or are married. But then I pause. Could it be ambiguous? Maybe the general "associate" sense?

I'm thinking, is there a general sense capturing romantic involvement? Both senses are subclasses of "pair". In WordNet, "couple%1:14:01" ("live together") is defined by its example - "a married couple." "Couple%1:14:00" ("associate") has an example - "the engaged couple." Wait, both are possible in this instance.

The WordNet definition for the "live together" sense makes it seem like the best choice because this context likely deals with those partners in a relationship. Then I think about the hypernym for "couple%1:14:01::." Is it "family" or just "couple"? I revisit the definitions.

Okay, let's see. The therapy context feels most applicable to "mates" or "match" - sense 2. Is there a more common sense for a romantic couple? Sense 2 is "mates". Let's think this through. Are they "a couple", as in "We are a couple"? Usually, that is sense 2.

But, hang on, it's not just "a couple," it's "therapy clients, a couple." Does that clarify it? The "couple" is an appositive to the "clients". Therapy for "a couple" *usually* means "mates." So, `couple%1:14:01::` is highly likely here.

Is there any possibility that this is a case of two clients who aren't in a romantic relationship? "a couple of them". No, this is an appositive.

I'm considering the synonyms for both. "Mates, match" is a better fit for a romantic partner in therapy. Re-reading the examples, "married couple" (sense 2) versus "engaged couple" (sense 1). Even in the case of engaged, they are still a pair, more generally, an association.

WordNet has two distinct entries, which implies they *are* different. This is `couple#2` (sense_key=couple%1:14:01::), defined as "a pair of people who live together." Is there a less specific case, like "two items of the same kind" - no. I go back to thinking about the context.

Yes! Therapy clients, the word "couple" here acts as an appositive to the clients, two people who seek help. This means that if a therapist sees "a couple", that fits sense 2. Let's make this determination.

Could it just be "two clients"? But no, it's not "a couple of clients," it's "a couple." Therefore, it's referring to them as a unit. I will lean toward sense 2 ("mates, match") to refer to romantic partners.

I need to re-read the examples. Sense 1 ("the engaged couple") versus sense 2 ("a married couple from Chicago"). When "a couple" is used alone, it usually means sense 2. If it is "therapy clients, a couple," they are mates in a relationship - it is sense 2.

I'm sure they are not more than two clients. It seems that "couple" here refers to them as a unit, a couple of people in a relationship. I'm going with sense 2.

But, would the annotation default to sense 1 for two people? Hmm. But it would have to be very general, such as "twosome, duo, duet." I think the match of "mates" is better. Mates capture something about their relationship.

So, I will output sense 2.

Okay, let's make sure sense 2 does not necessarily mean "live together." If they are not living together, there are still "examples of the married couple," so that is good. Sense 1 has "the engaged couple." They are a pair!

It's a tough choice, to be sure. It's often difficult. I'm going with sense 2 because "couples therapy" usually involves "mates." "A couple" generally

**Analyzing the Context of "Building"**

Okay, so the target word is "building," and it's appearing as "building" in the text. Let's see... the context describes a situation where "the building started shaking like crazy." This immediately brings a specific set of senses to mind. My initial thought process has to weed through the possibilities quickly, given the shaking context.

I see several candidate senses, but I can easily dismiss "occupants of a building" (sense 1) – that's irrelevant here. The shaking clearly refers to something physical. "Commercial activity..." (sense 3) is also a distraction; it's the structure itself that's experiencing a seismic event. That leaves the act of constructing (sense 4) but that does not quite fit either.

Given the phrase "flimsy structure, built up on supports," which describes the physical nature of something, I am honing in on sense 2: "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place." The context of a shaking structure strongly supports the interpretation of a physical *building*, not an activity or an occupant. Sense 2 is the most logical fit. It's the structure that's shaking, not the activity of building. My final choice is a structure.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Started"**

Okay, so the target is "start" and the surface form is "started" in the context "...and the building started shaking like crazy." My immediate thought is, "started" here is acting as an aspectual verb, indicating the beginning of an action, and it's followed by a gerund ("shaking"). It's about initiating an action, not the action itself.

Let's quickly run through the senses and see which one fits best. I'm seeing options like "bulge outward," "move or jump suddenly," and several senses around beginning an event (either implying a direct object or not). There are also senses for setting something in motion (transitive), bringing something into being, and even playing in a starting lineup. Some are about temporal beginnings ("have a beginning"), and there's a few for "getting going" (like "I start at eight"). A couple are closer to "leaving," or "getting off the ground."

The usage "started shaking" is equivalent to "began shaking" – the building initiating the action of shaking. So, I need a sense describing the beginning of an action. Sense 13, "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action," feels promising with the example "We began working at dawn".

Let's re-evaluate:
1.  bulge outward: No.
2.  startle: No.
3.  begin an implied event: No.
4.  have a beginning characterized ... No.
5.  cause to start (transitive): No.
6.  bring into being (transitive): No.
7.  sports: No.
8.  get going: No.
9.  begin work: No.
10. leave: No.

12. start up (transitive): No.
13. **This is it**: begin an action. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action".

Sense 13 seems like the clear winner for an auxiliary/aspectual use.

Wait, the building as subject "carry out an action?" Grammatically it is because it is followed by the gerund "shaking."
Example: "We began working at dawn" fits with "The building started shaking," so I can't see why not.

Sense 13 it is. That's the one describing the start of an action!

**Analyzing "Shaking" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "shake" as "shaking", and the context is that the building is, well, *shaking* in a way that suggests it's moving back and forth. The text explicitly says it was "rocking around," which is a pretty clear indicator. My initial thought is to zero in on the senses that deal with movement, specifically, back-and-forth or sideways movement.

I have a few candidates: one that explicitly calls out "rock" and "sway" as synonyms; and one that refers to rapid vibration. Based on the context "rocking around", and the phrase "the tall building swayed" matching the context, I'm leaning heavily towards the "rock, sway" sense. The reference to it being a "flimsy structure" supports this, as that kind of building is prone to swaying.

Now, I paused to consider if there was a seismic sense. The text implies an earthquake. However, earthquake shaking *can* involve back-and-forth motion, which fits perfectly with the "rock, sway" meaning, and the exact synonym is used. Furthermore, the example for this sense includes a building, which is ideal in this context.

Looking more closely at WordNet, "shake" is listed as a synonym for "rock" in the sense of moving back and forth. I can see that in WordNet 3.0, shaking is part of that synonym group.

I'm now cross-referencing with other potential senses. There's also the sense of causing something to move back and forth, like "The chemist shook the flask". However, that's not the primary action here. The building is the one *doing* the shaking, not being *shaken* in a controlled way.

Ultimately, I'm confident in selecting Sense 1: move back and forth or sideways, with synonyms like rock and sway. The phrase "rocking around" in the text, alongside the example "the tall building swayed," aligns perfectly.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Flimsy"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the exact meaning of "flimsy" in this sentence: "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around." The word "flimsy" itself is the target, and I need to consider its usage within the given context, where the object being described is a structure.

Let's break down the likely senses. I have three candidates: "not convincing," "lacking substance or significance," and "lacking solidity or strength."

The context is crucial. We're talking about a structure, and specifically one "built up on supports" that's "really rocking around". Given those physical characteristics and the observed behavior, the meaning must be related to its physical properties. "Not convincing" and "lacking substance or significance" don't fit the physical description. I am leaning heavily towards candidate 3 – "lacking solidity or strength," because a structure built to withstand force will not be "rocking around".

To confirm my hypothesis, I'll cross-reference the definitions. The dictionary definition of Sense 3 is: "lacking solidity or strength | examples=a flimsy table; flimsy construction". Bingo! The example phrases align perfectly. The other senses are about arguments and evidence.

Based on this, the correct sense is undoubtedly the third. It's the only one that makes sense with the physical attributes of the structure as described. I am confident in my selection. Therefore, the JSON response should be `{"sense_index": 3}`.

**Identifying the WordNet Sense of "Structure"**

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "structure" and need to pinpoint its precise meaning within this sentence: "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around." My goal here is to identify the relevant WordNet sense. Let's break this down systematically.

The context immediately suggests a physical manifestation, a building or some sort of constructed object. The phrase "flimsy structure, built up on supports" heavily hints in that direction. Now, let's consider the possible senses from WordNet that I have:

1.  *Manner of construction* is a possibility, but I think it's less direct.
2.  *A thing constructed; a complex entity constructed of many parts*. This is highly promising given the context. "Flimsy" and "built on supports" point directly to a concrete object.
3.  *Anatomical part* is immediately irrelevant. The context is not medical or biological.
4.  *Complex composition of knowledge* is clearly off-base. This sentence has nothing to do with knowledge.
5.  *People in a society* is obviously a non-starter.

Based on the surrounding words and their connotations, sense 2, "a thing constructed," is the clear winner. The description aligns perfectly. The structure is flimsy and built on supports, therefore, it's a constructed object. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Verb "Built" in Context**

Okay, the target is "built". The context gives me "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around." My initial thought is that "built" refers to the process of construction, of making something by combining materials – literally, "built up on supports." I immediately start searching for a relevant candidate, thinking about the phrase "built up."

A quick check confirms my suspicion: Candidate 3, "make by combining materials and parts," with synonyms like "construct" and "make," seems like a strong contender. The example sentence given, "this little pig made his house out of straw," is a good fit for this physical construction process, which matches the description of "a flimsy structure" "built up on supports." "Built up" emphasizes construction.

Candidate 1, suggesting "form or accumulate steadily," is clearly irrelevant here. I have to keep that in mind when the structure is flimsy. The focus is on the *physical* act of construction and is not a building-up of something.

To make sure I'm thorough, I scan the other candidates. Candidate 6, "order, supervise, or finance the construction of," is not quite as relevant in this case. The focus is not on the administrative or financial aspects of the building process.

Candidate 7, "be engaged in building," is similar to candidate 6, but in the wrong way. The focus is on the construction itself.

So, Candidate 3 clearly takes the lead. The lemma is "build," and the specific sense I'm pinpointing is "construct, make." This aligns perfectly with the textual clues. The sense_key is build%2:36:00::, where the definition is exactly what I need and the example sentence "this little pig made his house out of straw" fits perfectly!

**Analyzing the Senses of "Supports"**

Okay, so the target word is "supports" in the context of a flimsy structure that was rocking. My initial thought is that it refers to physical structures, like pillars or beams, holding up a building. Let's see...

I'm presented with two relevant senses. Sense 3, "any device that bears the weight of another thing," and Sense 7, "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation." My gut feeling is that Sense 7 is the winner here, since we're dealing with a building. The phrasing "built up on supports" feels very architectural. The example for Sense 7, "the statue stood on a marble support," is close, but the context of the sentence has a stronger emphasis on structural foundation.

A closer look confirms this. Sense 7 explicitly mentions "supporting structure" and "foundation," which aligns perfectly with the idea of a building being held up. "Built up on supports" heavily suggests architectural elements. To clarify, I should consult WordNet to confirm my hunch: Sense 3's hypernym is "device", while Sense 7's is "structure". A building is supported by "structures" not by "devices", so this makes sense. The sentence indicates the supports are part of the building's infrastructure.

I'm confirming this because I want to eliminate any possibility of a device, such as a bracket that holds up a shelf.

So, in the end, the context is "the building started shaking like crazy. It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports..." The supports in question are architectural structures that hold the building up, making Sense 7, "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation," the most appropriate. I feel confident in selecting this sense.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Rocking"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "rocking" in this sentence: "...and the building started shaking like crazy. It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around." The target lemma is "rock," with "rocking" being the surface form in this specific context.

My initial thought is to consider the two prominent senses of the verb "rock." First, there's the transitive sense—you *cause* something to rock, like "rock the cradle." Then there’s the intransitive sense, where something *itself* moves back and forth or sideways, as in "the ship was rocking" or even "the tall building swayed."

In this case, it's clear the building is experiencing the action of "rocking." The phrase "it was really rocking around" isn't describing someone making the building rock, but rather the building *itself* swaying and shaking due to the seismic activity. The building is the subject of its own motion. Therefore, the intransitive sense of "rock," sense 2, is the correct one here.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Stopped"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the exact sense of "stopped" in "The three of us stopped breathing for a moment." Right off the bat, I need to consider the context—people momentarily ceasing to breathe due to a sudden event, like an earthquake in this case. Let's see... looking at the candidate senses, I'm immediately drawn to the nuances.

We have a few possibilities: stopping to hold on, intercepting, preventing completion, causing to stop, coming to a halt, holding back, stopping from happening, stopping over, having an end, blocking. Then the one that jumps out at me: putting an end to a state or an activity – that's "stop%2:42:00::". And the synonyms here, "discontinue, cease, give up, quit, lay off," are dead on. My initial hunch is that this is the correct sense.

Let's break it down further. "Stopped breathing" implies the cessation of the activity of breathing. Sense 11 seems to capture that perfectly—it’s about ending an ongoing activity. "Quit teasing your little brother," the example in WordNet, is clearly analogous to "stopped breathing," where "breathing" is the gerund acting as the activity.

Alright, let's compare, just to be thorough. Could it be preventing completion or coming to a halt? No, those senses don’t capture the state change, the ceasing, as precisely.

Sense 11 is the most accurate; we're dealing with the transitive/intransitive usage of "stop" where it takes a gerund describing the activity being ended. "Breathing" is the activity in this sentence, and "stopped" is putting an end to that activity.

So, in conclusion, sense 11, "put an end to a state or an activity", is the correct one.

**Analyzing the Word "Breathing" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "breathing," stemming from "breathe." Let's see... the context is "...The three of us stopped breathing for a moment, and then when it kept on coming we lunged for the doorway." My immediate thought, based on the narrative, is that they *held their breath* due to fear from some kind of event – looks like an earthquake.

I'll quickly reference the senses associated with the lemma "breathe." Sense 5, "draw air into, and expel out of, the lungs," seems like the most obvious and likely candidate here, and fits the context perfectly. Synonyms like "take a breath," "respire," and "suspire" are all accurate.

Let's do a quick sweep of the other senses just to be certain. "Utter or tell," "be alive," "take a short break," "impart as if by breathing," "reach full flavor," "expel gases," "manifest," and "allow passage of air" – none of these really work in this scenario. So yes, Sense 5 is the correct interpretation.

**Deconstructing "Moment" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "moment," and the context is, "The three of us stopped breathing for a moment, and then when it kept on coming we lunged for the doorway." My initial thought process is to quickly run through potential senses. "At this time" feels too broad. "The n-th moment of a distribution" is definitely not the right fit – this is not a statistical or mathematical context. "A turning force" is way off-base, and "having important effects or influence" doesn't seem to apply either. That leaves me with "an indefinitely short time" (like "wait just a moment") and "a particular point in time" (as in, "the moment he arrived").

Given the phrase "for a moment" in the provided sentence, I'm almost certain sense 5, "an indefinitely short time," is the intended meaning. It describes a pause, a brief cessation of breath. Synonyms like "mo," "minute," "second," or "bit" would be suitable replacements. The example "wait just a moment" clearly supports this interpretation. Sense 6, a particular point in time, simply doesn't fit the flow of the sentence, it's about a duration, not a single point. So, I'm confident that sense 5 is the correct interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Keep" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "keep," and the surface form in the sentence is "kept." The context is: "... when it kept on coming we lunged for the doorway." My immediate thought is to consider the various senses. Let's see... I'm going through the list; there are a lot, but I'll focus on the relevant ones, excluding some like keeping chickens, or looking after a shop.

Right away, "kept on coming" seems most closely aligned with sense 10: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity," with synonyms like "continue," "go on," and an example like "Keep on working!" This looks like a solid match. The earthquake continues to shake – it "kept on coming," just as "keep on working!" implies continuation.

Hold on, I need to check something related to "keep on." Phrasal verbs sometimes muddy the waters. Is "kept" just part of "keep on," which is a synonym? Yes, sense 10 lists "go on" as a synonym, and "Keep on working!" mirrors "keep on coming." It fits.

Alright, let me just double-check, but this is clearly sense 10. And I'm quickly getting to the answer. Let's look at sense 18, which is "allow to remain in a place or position... synonyms=retain, continue, keep on." It has an example: "We cannot continue several servants any longer." This is about staff. No, not quite. The context is about an earthquake.

So, comparing sense 10 again, "continue a certain state, condition, or activity," is a perfect fit here, especially with the example "Keep on working!" The earthquake "kept on coming" aligns with the idea of continuing, going on, which perfectly encapsulates this usage. I can be confident that sense 10 is the correct one.

**Deconstructing "Keep on Coming" in the Context of an Earthquake**

Okay, so the building's shaking like crazy, a full-on earthquake. The phrase I'm focusing on is "it kept on coming." My initial thought is to determine the best semantic sense of "come" here. Is it about physical movement, or something else entirely? The situation is clearly not about physical movement, so I immediately discard senses relating to "moving towards" or "arriving" in a spatial sense. The shaking is what "keeps on coming," the earthquake continues.

So I'm considering "come to pass; arrive, as in due course," meaning "happen." Does this fit? The shaking "kept on happening"? Or perhaps more directly, "the earthquake kept on coming to pass", meaning it kept happening or arriving? I think "happen" is the right interpretation.

Let's quickly check other senses, just to be thorough. Could it be "come forth; issue forth"? No, that doesn't fit the context of shaking. Could it be "arrive by movement or progress?" No, not that either. "Keep on coming" means the earthquake is continuing to happen, to occur.

Going back to sense 1, I see that it aligns with the meaning "happen". Okay, I think "come to pass; arrive, as in due course" is the best definition. I'm choosing sense 1. The shaking "kept happening." I am confident in selecting sense 1 ("happen"), to refer to the continuation of the earthquake.

**Analyzing the "Say" in "Needless to Say"**

Okay, so the target is "say" and the surface form is just "say" – straightforward enough. The context is "Needless to say, it was an interesting first session!" Right off the bat, my expert intuition tells me this is a fixed phrase, "needless to say". It means something along the lines of "it goes without saying" or that the information is obvious.

Let's quickly run through the senses we have available: indicate, have a certain wording, state as an opinion, communicate nonverbally, utter aloud, express in words, report, express a supposition, recite, speak in a certain way, and give instructions.

"Needless to say" is clearly about *stating* or *telling* something. "Needless to state" is how I'd naturally rephrase it. So, I'm leaning heavily towards Sense 6: "express in words." The core meaning is about conveying information verbally. The "needless" part indicates it's unnecessary to *do* that.

I'll double-check – Sense 6's definition is "express in words" and its synonyms are "state, tell." That's a perfect match. Sense 5, "utter aloud", isn't the best fit. While saying involves uttering, the emphasis here is on the *communication* of the idea, not the act of speaking.

To be extra thorough, I'll quickly see if "needless to say" has its own entry or maps directly to "state/express in words" in something like WordNet. It’s likely "say" in "needless to say" maps directly to "express in words", which is the most generic and appropriate sense to convey the intended meaning of stating a fact, it's not the correct answer, it's about stating a fact.

Could it be Sense 3: "state as one's opinion or judgement"? Possibly, but it's not the central idea here. It's more about conveying an obvious fact. Or Sense 5, is less likely. We're ultimately *not* talking about simply uttering a sound; it's about making a statement, with the implication that it’s obvious. Again, Sense 6 fits like a glove. "Needless to say" = it is not necessary to express in words, which aligns well with stating or telling.

Yes, Sense 6 is the clear winner here.

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

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct meaning of "session" in the phrase "...first session!" considering the preceding words, "meet with some new therapy clients, a couple." Clearly, we're talking about a therapy session. Let's run through the potential senses quickly and filter them based on relevance.

We have:

1.  "A meeting devoted to a particular activity" - This is immediately promising. A therapy session definitely fits that description.
2.  "A meeting of spiritualists (seance)" - Nope, not a seance here.
3.  "A meeting for execution of a group's functions (legislature session)" - Irrelevant; this isn't a government body or similar.
4.  "Academic term" - No connection.

Therefore, sense 1, "a meeting devoted to a particular activity," is undoubtedly the correct definition for "session" in this particular therapeutic context. Simple.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Trouble" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "trouble," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, "trouble." Let's dive into the context: "Biggest trouble was scared family who couldn't get a phone line through..." My initial instinct is to run through the possible senses quickly. Sense 1, unwanted pregnancy, that's a hard no. Sense 2, inconvenient effort, also not fitting. Sense 3, anxiety, doesn't quite click either. Sense 4, an event causing distress or pain, well, it *could* be, I suppose, but it's not the most precise. And Sense 5, an angry disturbance, is clearly wrong in this scenario.

That leaves Sense 6, a source of difficulty or problem. Now *that* sounds promising, given the "Biggest trouble was..." phrase. "Biggest problem" or "Biggest source of difficulty" is a solid paraphrase. I'm leaning heavily towards Sense 6, but verification is always necessary.

Let's test it. If we are looking at sense 6, problem-based, the synonyms should make sense. "Problem" is perfect. The examples offered, "one trouble after another delayed the job" and "what's the problem?" fit flawlessly. With sense 4, we have no real good synonyms. With sense 5, words like "fuss," "bother," and "hassle" are synonyms for "trouble." The context here makes that highly unlikely.

Now, let's revisit the entire context: "Albany escaped embarrassingly unscathed. Biggest trouble was scared family..." Ah, "biggest problem" is what is meant. "Trouble" here is definitely referring to a problem or difficulty they encountered. It's the challenge they faced. "Biggest problem was..." confirms it.

Therefore, after this careful analysis, Sense 6 is the clear winner.

Okay, so the target is the lemma "spend," specifically the surface form "spent." The context is: "...and spent a really horrible hour not knowing." Right off the bat, I need to figure out which of the senses of "spend" is being used here. Let's see...

I know there are a few senses. Sense 1 is about *passing* time—"pass time in a specific way." Sense 2 is about *paying out* or *expending* something, like money. And Sense 3 is about *spending completely*, like pocket money.

Given the phrase "spent a really horrible hour," it's pretty obvious. The individual *passed* an hour. The passage of time is what's being described. The terrible hour was endured. The other two senses, paying out or completely spending, don't make sense in this particular scenario. Therefore, it has to be Sense 1: "pass time in a specific way." Case closed.

**Analyzing the Context of "hour"**

Okay, so the target is "hour" and the surface form is, well, "hour". Straightforward enough. The context, "...and spent a really horrible hour not knowing," immediately evokes the concept of time passing. Thinking this through, I'm pretty confident it refers to a duration, likely around 60 minutes. It's a period of uncertainty, a span of time spent in a state of not knowing. The phrase "spent a really horrible hour" really hammers home the temporal aspect.

Let's quickly check the senses to be absolutely sure. Okay, here we go: we've got a "memorable period," "a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day," "clock time," and even "distance measured by time."

The context, "a really horrible hour not knowing," feels strongly temporal, so "a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day" feels right. Specifically, the "really horrible hour" suggests a duration. It's not a "special" hour, not specifically "clock time," and the situation doesn't describe the "distance" aspect. Sense 2 fits perfectly. This is likely an amount of time.

To be absolutely certain, is there another possible interpretation? No, it's not a "special and memorable period" here, it's simply a discrete amount of time. Sense 2 it is. It's the most appropriate.

**Analyzing the Semantics of "Knowing"**

Okay, so the task at hand is to determine the precise sense of "knowing" in the context "spent a really horrible hour not knowing." The target lemma is "know", and the surface form is "knowing". Immediately, I'm focusing on the implied meaning – the family's state of *not* having information, their lack of awareness.

The initial list of candidate senses is a good starting point. Let's run through them: be able to distinguish, have something fixed in mind (not relevant), sexual intercourse (definitely not it!), perceive as familiar (nope), firsthand knowledge of states (possibly... but requires more thought), familiar with a person (unlikely here), aware of the truth of something, accept someone to be what is claimed, know how to do (that's about skill, not information), know the nature of (again, not quite fitting), and finally, sense 11, *be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about.* Bingo. That feels like a direct hit, especially in this specific context of the family's anxiety.

Hold on, let me refine that. Looking back at sense 11, the example, "I want to know who is winning the game!" is a good analog. They *want* to know the status, the fact, of the game. Here, the family is in a similar state, they *want* to know the status of their family member. They *do not possess* that information. Now, what about sense 7: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt".

Okay, let's dissect "Spent a really horrible hour not knowing." What *didn't* they know? The specific fact of whether the speaker was safe. Not having that specific piece of information is the core of their distress. That firmly aligns with sense 11: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about". The family's "not knowing" is a direct consequence of them *not possessing* that crucial information. Therefore, sense 11 is the clear winner here.
