His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a <t>word</t>. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck.

**Deconstructing the Nuance of "Word" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target is "word" in the phrase "...without saying a word." My immediate instinct is to think about it as a brief statement, a unit of language. I have to look at the context, specifically the fact that the person "didn't *say* a word." I need to consider options and their definitions.

The options I have are: "an exchange of views," "the divine word of God," "a verbal command," "a brief statement," "the sacred writings," "a secret word or phrase," "information about recent and important events," "a promise," and "a unit of language."

My first inclination is to focus on options 4 and 9: "a brief statement" and "a unit of language." But the "didn't *say* a word" part immediately directs me. It's not about the nature of the *word* itself but the *act* of speaking. So, the example "he didn't say a word about it" for option 4 seems very relevant.

I check WordNet to verify. I find that "word" in the context of "he didn't say a word about it" is indeed sense 4, "a brief statement," as I suspected. But, is there any possibility it's sense 9, "a unit of language"? Let's refresh our memory of phrases using "say a word." "without saying a word" means he didn't utter any brief statements, nor any unit of language. When someone says, “can I have a word,” this is likely under brief statement.

I look at the exact definition of "without saying a word." Could it be a single unit of language? Yes. I consider what it means to not *say* something. "he didn't say a word about it" doesn't imply an exchange of views.

I focus on the example "he didn't say a word about it." It's a perfect match for the phrasing and intended meaning of "without saying a word."

I revisit sense 9, "a unit of language." That interpretation implies a literal single word, like "apple." But when someone doesn't "say a word," it's idiomatic; it indicates they didn't speak. They made no statement, thus no "brief statement." I've got it.

So, sense 4 is most definitely the best option. The example "he didn't say a word about it" fits perfectly. So, sense 4 it is!

**Analyzing the Context of "Driver"**

Okay, so the target word is "driver," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, also "driver." The provided context is: "...Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck..." This is pretty straightforward. I need to figure out which sense of "driver" is being used here.

Let's look at the candidate senses:

*   **Sense 1:** Someone who drives animals that pull a vehicle. Hmm, unlikely given the "truck" context. Seems out of place.
*   **Sense 2:** A golfer who hits the golf ball with a driver. Definitely not. The context doesn't mention golf at all.
*   **Sense 3:** (Computer Science) A program that determines how a computer will communicate with a peripheral device. This is a possibility in other scenarios, but it doesn't align here. The "truck" element is not relevant here.
*   **Sense 4:** A golf club. Again, this is a golf term and seems completely irrelevant to the context.
*   **Sense 5:** The operator of a motor vehicle. Bingo! That fits perfectly with the word "truck" in the context, and the act of a person who is operating a motor vehicle.

Based on the context, sense 5, the operator of a motor vehicle, is the only plausible interpretation. The sentence clearly refers to the individual who was operating the truck. I'm confident in selecting this sense.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Stopped"**

Okay, the target word is "stopped," and the context describes a driver who was swearing and then, very abruptly, ended that behavior. My initial thought is to zero in on the exact meaning of "stopped" in this instance – it's not simply about physical cessation.

Let's quickly run through the likely senses from the knowledge base. We have a few that are relevant:

1.  "Have an end..." – potentially applicable, but lacks the active sense of agency.
2.  "Cause to stop" - This doesn't seem to fit the context; the driver isn't *causing* something to stop; rather *he* is stopping.
3.  "Put an end to a state or an activity," with synonyms like "discontinue," "cease," and "quit." Bingo! This seems highly promising.
4.  "Stop and wait" - This feels irrelevant based on the activity described.
5.  "Come to a halt, stop moving" - Again, not quite right as the action refers to swearing, an *activity*.

The phrase "stopped swearing" clearly means he ceased swearing, he quit, he discontinued his cursing. This perfectly aligns with sense 3, "put an end to a state or an activity." It’s an exact match.

**Deconstructing the Meaning of "Swearing"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "swearing," and the context offers a pretty clear picture. The driver was *previously* "cursing at them," and then *stopped* "swearing." It's not rocket science; it's practically textbook. Therefore, based on the linguistic context, it means uttering obscenities or profanities. We're dealing with negative, offensive language here.

Now, let's quickly eliminate other potential definitions, just to be thorough. The candidate senses we're presented with include: making a formal declaration or affirmation, having confidence, making a deposition (legal testimony), promising solemnly, and, crucially, uttering obscenities, which lines up with the context's use of "curse" and "cuss" as synonyms. Clearly, the fifth sense is the perfect fit. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Word "Turned" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "turned," and the context is that the driver "turned on his heel" and went back to his truck. My first thought is to consider the different senses of "turn." I quickly scan the candidates and see a range, from twisting suddenly to changing direction. The phrase "turned on his heel" immediately makes me think of reversing direction.

Let's see, is there a specific sense listed for "turn on his heel"? Nope. Now I need to find the most fitting sense. Sense 15, "change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense," jumps out. Examples like "The mugger turned and fled" make it a strong contender, fitting the intransitive usage here.

I pause. Could it be a literal turning around an axis? Sense 26 comes to mind, but that feels less natural. Sense 7, although transitive, involves causing movement along an axis (e.g., "turn the car around"). Sense 15, however, is intransitive and fits perfectly with the idea of changing direction, like "The mugger turned and fled."

Re-checking Sense 15, specifically: "change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense." With the example of "The mugger turned and fled," I'm confident that this is the best match for the context of "turned on his heel and went back." It's about changing direction and reversing course.

Just to be thorough, I'll double-check WordNet for any idioms around "turn on one's heel". Bingo! It's there, usually defined as "change direction," which solidifies Sense 15 as the correct interpretation. So, it's clear: Sense 15 is the winner, and it's a straightforward case of changing direction, matching the phrase "turned on his heel and went back."

**Analyzing the "Heel" in "Turned on his Heel"**

Okay, so the target word is "heel" in the phrase "turned on his heel." My initial thought is that this phrase clearly implies a sharp, pivoting turn, and the "heel" in question is the point of rotation. Now, I have to figure out if that's the anatomical heel, or the heel of a shoe.

I'm checking the options. The first is the back part of the foot, the anatomical heel. The second is the bottom of a shoe. To be certain, I need to see what WordNet maps the idiom to. *Ah*, "turned on his heel" can refer to both the foot or the shoe, but the primary idiom is related to the body part.

I'm thinking, sense_key=heel%1:08:00::, is the anatomical definition. Usually, the idiom refers to the body part, the human foot. I need to make sure I am not mistaken. Let me look at standard idioms. That idiom seems more aligned with the body part (the human foot). I know the definition of heel%1:08:00::: the back part of the human foot, and heel%1:06:00::: the bottom of a shoe or boot.

Can it refer to the foot? Yes, the phrase is "turn on one's heel".

I should verify if WordNet has a specific entry for the idiom. If not, the foot (sense 1) is likely the answer. Since it refers to the back of the foot.

Alright, so the phrase means the action of the foot.

Wait, is it possible that it could also be the shoe heel? People are usually wearing shoes! But the more common usage is the body part, the foot. I should double check. *Yes*, "foot" has "heel."

I'm confident I'll select sense 1 now.

Okay, so the target word is "truck."

Alright, that paints a pretty clear picture. This is definitely some kind of automotive vehicle.

Now, let's look at the candidates. Candidate 1 is a "handcart" – a hand truck. No, that doesn't fit at all. This context screams automotive, so that's out.

Target lemma: give
Target surface form: given
Context:
Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck. Haney hadn't <t>given</t> it much thought at the time. Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off.

**Analyzing the Verb "Give" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "give," and the surface form is "given." The context is "Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time." My initial thought is to figure out the meaning of "given" in this specific phrase. It's clearly about dedicating mental energy, about *devoting thought* to something. Let's look at the senses available.

Sense 4 looks promising right off the bat: the sense key is `give%2:31:02::` with the definition "dedicate," and the synonyms "pay, devote." Bingo! The examples are spot on too: "give thought to; give priority to." That perfectly matches "given it much thought," and it’s the intended meaning.

I should, of course, quickly scan the other senses just to be thorough. Sense 34 also involves dedication ("give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause | synonyms=dedicate, consecrate, commit, devote"). However, I don't feel it fits. "Give thought to" is explicitly used in the examples for Sense 4.

Therefore, Sense 4 is the clear winner here. I can confidently assign that sense to the usage.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Thought"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "thought," and the context is interesting: "Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time." Right away, I'm keying in on the phrase "give it much thought." My immediate interpretation is that it means "to think about it much," which steers me towards the core meaning of the *process* of mental consideration.

Let's break down the potential senses to confirm my initial intuition. I need to be precise.

*   **Sense 1:** Is it about the *content* of Haney's cognition, like an *idea*? No, the context implies a lack of deep consideration, so it's not simply the main thing he was contemplating.
*   **Sense 2:** A *belief* or *judgment*? No, again. Haney's action appears to precede any considered opinion.
*   **Sense 3:** Ah, this is promising: "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully." It's directly aligned with the idea of spending time and effort pondering something. Examples like "she paused for thought" fit beautifully. This aligns with the "give it much thought" phrase.
*   **Sense 4:** The organized beliefs of a period... This isn't relevant to Haney's personal reaction.

Therefore, after this considered evaluation, I'm confident that Sense 3, the active *process* of careful consideration, is the correct interpretation within this specific context. The phrase "give it much thought" directly relates to the effort Haney *did not* spend on the matter, not the content or outcome of that thinking.

**Analyzing the Verb "Recalled"**

Okay, so the target word is "recall," specifically appearing as "recalled" in this sentence. The context is pretty straightforward: "Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time. Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off." Right away, I see the meaning is about remembering something. My initial understanding is that Haney clearly remembered the event.

Let's quickly run through the possible senses. We have: 1) recalling something from memory, which feels right; 2) returning from a distraction; 3) making something unavailable; 4) causing something to be returned; 5) summoning something to return; 6) going back to something earlier; and 7) calling to mind, like an echo. Obviously, senses 3 through 5 are immediately out, and while 2 and 6 *could* apply with a bit of a stretch, they're not the primary meaning. Sense 7 is a decent fit, but feels like an extension of sense 1.

Given the context, sense 1, "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection," seems like the most accurate. "Now he remembered it very clearly" works perfectly. Time to verify with synonyms. Let's see... remember, retrieve, call back, call up, recollect, think... Yep, "remember" fits like a glove. "Now he remembered it very clearly" is a seamless substitution for "recalled it very clearly," and I'm confident we have the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Wondered"**

Okay, so the word is "wondered," and the context is that Haney "wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off." Right away, I see that the potential meanings are: desiring to know something, being amazed, or placing something in doubt.

Let's break this down. The key phrase is "wondered *what* the truck driver had seen." It feels like Haney *wants to know* what the driver witnessed, what was it about those eyes. It's an inquiry, not necessarily a doubt. My initial instinct is leaning towards the first definition: "have a wish or desire to know something."

Now, to solidify this, let's consider the examples given. "He wondered who had built this beautiful church." That's a strong fit! It's the same structure as Haney's thought: "wondered *what* the truck driver had seen..." It’s about a curiosity, a desire for information.

The third sense, 'doubt,' is easily dismissed. "I wonder whether this was the right thing to do..." or "she wondered whether it would snow tonight" are completely different. These involve a speculative "whether," a hesitation about the truth of a situation. Haney isn’t doubting, he’s *curious*. He wants to know "what," not "if."

So, after this examination, it's clear: the first sense, the desire to know, is the most accurate interpretation in this context. It perfectly captures Haney's mental state.

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

Okay, here's the situation: the target word is "see," specifically its past participle "seen," and the context involves someone visually perceiving something in another person's eyes, specifically a look. The question at hand is, which sense of "see" is most applicable here?

My initial thought is that it's probably about visual perception, given the reference to eyes and "a look." Could it be "perceive by sight" (sense_key=see%2:39:00::)? Let me consider the candidates. There are options like "experience," "witness," "imagine," "understand," and crucially, "make sense of; assign a meaning to" (sense 12) and "perceive by sight" (sense 21).

The phrase is, "wondered what the truck driver had *seen* in those eyes." The core issue is whether it's literal visual perception (sense 21) or an interpretation of meaning (sense 12). If I were to rephrase using "What message do you see in this letter?" the parallel isn't perfect, but is there a specific idiom for "see in" here?

The phrase "see something in someone's eyes" can lean both ways. Could it be literal sight, as in a visual threat, or a more abstract interpretation? The example given, "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word," implies something visually perceived, a "look".

So, "perceive by sight" (sense 21) seems the most likely. But let's check other senses and see if any other possibility is valid. What about "discover" or "notice"?

Okay, let's consider sense 21 again. If I say, "I saw a threat in his eyes," does that mean I literally saw a threat, the perception? Yes. The use of "what" as the direct object "what... had seen in those eyes" strongly suggests "what thing/look" was perceived visually.

Looking at sense 12 - is there another specific meaning? "What message do you see in this letter?" - this is interpretation. But, "the truck driver had *seen* in those eyes" directly relates to seeing a *look* conveyed by the eyes. The *look* is the visual thing that was seen.

If I say "I see a bird in that tree," that is clearly sense 21. If I see a look in someone's eyes, it is probably 21. We can rule out "witness/find".

So, "What did he see in those eyes?" translates directly to, "What did he visually perceive in those eyes?" That's a strong fit.

Okay, let's revisit both. Sense 21 is "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight." Sense 12 is "make sense of; assign a meaning to." However, the following, "It must have been the sort of look" confirms it, as you literally "see" a look with your eyes. "See a look" is perception by sight. This makes sense 21 the most appropriate here.

Just to be certain, I want to confirm whether any other senses are applicable. Are there further related possibilities? There is no other applicable meaning, so I'm settling with 21.

**Analyzing the Context of "Eyes"**

Okay, so the target word is "eyes," and the sentence is, "...wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off." Right away, I see that the driver looked "squarely into the truck driver's face." The face *has* eyes. It's about what the truck driver saw *in* "those eyes." My initial thought is that it's referring to the organs of sight, but, hold on... it could also mean the gaze, the look expressed through them.

Let's break down the possibilities. I have these candidate senses:

1.  **The organ of sight:** The physical eyes.
2.  **Attention to what is seen:** Like, "he tried to catch her eye."
3.  **A small hole or loop.**
4.  **Good discernment.**
5.  **An area that is approximately central within some larger region.**

Alright, sense 3, 4 and 5 are definitely out of context here, those are red herrings. Given the context, it's pretty clear it's the physical eyes (sense 1), the organs through which one can observe an expression, a look, or something directly. Let's make sure... "seen *in* those eyes" clearly refers to the organ.

Now, let's look at sense 2 again. Could it be "attention to what is seen"? He saw something in that person's attention? Well, "those eyes" is plural, which, to my mind, pushes it towards the physical eyes and not the more abstract "catch their eye" sense.

So, yeah, sense 1 is definitely the correct interpretation. It's the organ of sight.

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

Alright, the target is "make" and the surface form is just "make." The sentence is, "Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off." My initial thought is that "make" means to compel or cause someone to do something.

My first thought is to check the senses. I'm looking at senses like "cause to do" (Sense 2) and "compel or make somebody...to act in a certain way" (Sense 24).  The sentence is structured as "make" + object + bare infinitive – "make him back off." Now, considering the definitions, examples for Sense 2 seem a bit indirect, using words like "induce" or "get," and those seem a bit far removed from the direct "make" being used here.

Now, I'm re-evaluating.  I need to drill down. Sense 24 looks promising, with examples like "Heat makes you sweat" and "People cannot be made to integrate." Those directly reflect the "make somebody do something" pattern. The definition of "compel or make somebody...to act in a certain way" really clicks here – a look in the eyes **compelled** the driver to back off.

I am rechecking Sense 2, and the problem that I see is that it uses synonyms like "induce" and the examples don't even use make directly.

There's another one: Sense 14, "give certain properties to something." This seems less relevant.

Finally, reviewing the examples and the definition for Sense 24, I'm confident in my interpretation.  The "look" exerted a compelling force on the driver, and "make him back off" directly parallels the structure and intent of Sense 24's definition and examples. Therefore, I am going to select Sense 24.

**Analyzing the "Sort" Lemma**

Okay, the target lemma is "sort," and it's used in the phrase "the sort of look." My initial task is to identify the most accurate sense from the provided candidates. Let's see...

My first thought goes to **sense 1**, "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality." This seems promising. "The sort of look" is referring to a type of look, a category. The synonyms "kind, form, variety" all make sense in this context.

Then I considered **sense 3**, "an approximate definition or example." Could "sort of" mean "kinda" here? No, I don't think so. "The sort of look" implies a specific type, not a fuzzy definition. The examples given for sense 3 like "a creamy sort of dessert thing" are adverbial approximations.

Next, I quickly dismissed **sense 2** and **sense 4**. Sense 2 is about *sorting* as an operation, and sense 4 is about *a person* of a certain nature. Neither fits.

Back to **sense 1**, that feels like the right track. "The sort of look that can call a bluff" - that's clearly referring to a *kind* of look, a *variety* of look. The examples confirm this: "sculpture is a form of art; what kinds of desserts are there?" "The sort of look" is equivalent to "the kind/variety of look." It's a category.

Okay, I'm confident. **Sense 1** is definitely the best fit. I'm satisfied.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Look"**

Okay, so the target word is "look" in this specific context: "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word." The text describes a man turning and "looking squarely into the truck driver's face," which then causes the truck driver to cease his swearing. The question is, what sense of "look" is intended here?

My initial thought is that it's referring to the expression on the man's face – the feelings conveyed, the emotional state. The phrase "what the truck driver had seen in those eyes" strongly suggests this interpretation. This leans towards sense 1, "the feelings expressed on a person's face," with synonyms like "expression" or "facial expression."

However, I need to consider all possibilities. Could it be sense 4, "the act of directing the eyes" in a general way? The phrase "the sort of look that can call a bluff" makes me pause. Could it mean the *act* of looking? I consider examples: "a look of triumph," "a sad expression," even "a tough look."

Ah, but an *expression* on someone's face is definitely sense 1! The synonyms for sense 1 all support this: expression, aspect, facial expression, face. Then, again, there's the more general sense 4: like in "his look was fixed on her eyes". The key phrase, though, is "what the truck driver had *seen* in those eyes." The expression, I think, is the key idea.

Let's test this. "a look of triumph" is sense 1. "a dirty look" is also sense 1. And, crucially, "the sort of look that can call a bluff" - that seems to clearly mean an expression, not the *act* of looking.

So, I return to my original instincts. Sense 1 is the most likely candidate: "the feelings expressed on a person's face." Now, let's verify.

I can rephrase "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff" as "It must have been the sort of *expression* that can call a bluff" – and that works perfectly. This rephrasing, in my expert opinion, decisively confirms sense 1. Therefore, I will choose sense 1.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Bluff"**

Okay, so the lemma is "bluff." The context is "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word." My initial instinct is that the most likely sense is about calling someone's pretense, that their position is stronger than it really is. This aligns with the common usage of "call a bluff."

I'm considering three candidate senses. The first, "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is," feels right. The second, "a high steep bank," immediately seems irrelevant here. The third, "the act of bluffing in poker," is intriguing because "call a bluff" *is* a poker idiom. However, the context doesn't explicitly mention a game of poker, which leads me to believe this is a more general scenario where someone is pretending to be tough, like that truck driver's cursing.

I'm leaning towards Sense 1 because it covers this general pretense. Sense 3, while relevant in origin, is too specific to the game of poker, and I don't see this as a poker context. Let's make sure the sense definitions are clear. Right, sense 1 is general, sense 3 is specifically about poker. It is not poker, so sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let me just double-check one more time. I'm thinking, "call a bluff" in this case means challenging the truck driver's pretense of toughness. Yeah, I'm confident that Sense 1, "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is," is the correct interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Say" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "say," specifically the surface form "saying" in the context "...can call a bluff without saying a word." I need to determine the correct sense here.  Initially, "saying a word" seems to mean "uttering a word" or "speaking." I've got to consider the previous occurrence of "without saying a word" in the text, so let's carefully review the candidate senses:

1.  *say%2:42:00:: | definition=have or contain a certain wording or form* - No.
2.  *say%2:32:01:: | definition=report or maintain* - Probably not.
3.  *say%2:32:15:: | definition=utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office* - Seems promising.
4.  *say%2:32:08:: | definition=recite or repeat a fixed text* - Incorrect.
5.  *say%2:32:00:: | definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you* - This could be it, but let's check further.
6.  *say%2:32:04:: | definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority* - Nope.
7.  *say%2:32:07:: | definition=communicate or express nonverbally* - Not applicable here.
8.  *say%2:32:09:: | definition=indicate* - No.
9.  *say%2:32:03:: | definition=express a supposition* - Out.
10. *say%2:32:02:: | definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way* - Pronouncing doesn't fit.
11. *say%2:32:13:: | definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare* - Unlikely.

The choice is between "utter aloud" (3) and "express in words" (5). I remember that "saying a word" is often mapped to either "utter aloud" or "express in words". "Saying 'Hello'" fits better with "utter aloud" - the act of vocalizing. Let's see what WordNet has to offer for "say a word." I need to be sure.

Okay, let's examine say%2:32:15 ("utter aloud"). The definition directly applies: "uttering a word."  Synonyms don't exist. "He didn't say a word" perfectly captures the meaning. I need to make a solid selection. If "utter aloud" is the act of speaking, and "express in words" is the act of communicating, which one should I use?  "Without saying a word" makes me think of an *utterance*, specifically the absence of one.

Now I am going to examine the context closely. The verb "say" takes "a word" as a direct object. "Utter" fits this structure better than "express in words", since one would "utter a word". If it were "express in words," it would usually take a that-clause as a complement ("He said *that*..."). But "utter aloud" takes a sound, a word, or a phrase. And "pronounce" doesn't fit either.

I think I am getting there. The word "word" is what's being said. Now let's consider sense 3 ("utter aloud") versus sense 5 ("express in words"). Sense 3's example is "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office" - this aligns perfectly. I see now. Looking at the hypernyms:  "utter aloud" is under "utter, emit, let out, let loose (express audibly)" whereas "express in words" is under "express, show, evince (give expression to)."  "Without saying a word" means "without making a sound/without uttering a word." The sentence emphasizes non-vocalization, the act of not vocalizing, so it's structurally and semantically the best fit. I've got it.

I'm leaning towards "utter aloud".
Let's re-read the context now: "...call a bluff *without saying a word*." Yes, it's literal: without *speaking*. Sense 3 is most likely perfect, where the literal is exactly what is meant. Expressing something without words would be sense 7, but that is not the case here. Sense 5 wouldn't fit, because

Context:
So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck. Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time. Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off. It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a <t>word</t>. When the light went their way, they went on across the street.

**Analyzing the "word" Sense in Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "word" in the phrase "without saying a word." The goal is to determine the correct sense for this instance.  I've got a list of potential senses to consider. The obvious candidate is Sense 8: "a brief statement," especially because of the example, "he didn't say a word about it," which seems to directly mirror the meaning here.

My initial thought is that "saying a word" here means "saying anything at all," which aligns with Sense 8. I need to consider if "saying a word" literally means uttering a single unit of language (Sense 6: "a unit of language").  I'm thinking "without saying a word" is a fixed phrase, similar to "he didn't say a word about it" so, let's look at examples.

I'm checking WordNet definitions and examples for both Sense 6 and Sense 8. Sense 6 can apply if someone hasn't spoken a single word. Sense 8, "a brief statement," seems most fitting because "without saying a word" really means "without making any statement."  I'm thinking about related idioms:  "can I have a word with you" is a brief exchange, but in this context, the emphasis is on silence.

I've checked a few datasets like SemCor, and I am leaning towards Sense 8, but I need to make sure. I'm seeing if "say a word" in this idiom is more aligned with the "brief statement" sense of the definition from WordNet, or with the sense of "unit of language" from the definition.

I'm digging into "saying a word" and if "saying a word" means the same as "not uttering a word" or "brief statement". I am going back and forth between "a brief statement" (Sense 8) and "a unit of language" (Sense 6). I'm looking at examples and trying to find instances where "without saying a word" means "uttering a single word".

I'm reconsidering the nuance here. If the phrase were "without saying a *single* word," that would lean toward Sense 6. But it's not. It's "without saying a word." That mirrors "he didn't say a word about it," which is clearly Sense 8: a brief statement or lack thereof. WordNet groups "didn't say a word" under Sense 8 and "without saying a word" fits that perfectly. I am re-examining the context as well, and it really supports the meaning of not speaking at all.

I'm thinking about "don't say a word". I know it is usually a directive for silence. It is not literal, it is a statement, so Sense 8.

I see "without saying a word" means not saying anything, so I'm settling on Sense 8.  I considered Sense 6, but in this context, it isn't "one unit of language".

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

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "light" in the phrase "When the light went their way, they went on across the street." The surface form is straightforward: "light," and the lemma is also "light." The context immediately suggests a traffic light – people crossing the street implies a signal.

Let's look at the candidate senses. Sense 5 jumps out: "a visual warning signal," with examples like "there was a light at every corner." That seems pretty spot-on. "When the light went their way" strongly implies a change in the traffic light's signal, likely to green. This fits the definition perfectly.

Now, a quick check... Does WordNet have a specific synset for "traffic light"? Yes, it does. But, when using the word "light" to refer to a traffic light in everyday language, we often subsume it under a broader category like "visual warning signal."

Back to Sense 5: "a visual warning signal,"... yeah, definitely the right one. The example "there was a light at every corner" reinforces that this sense is the standard for traffic lights. It's the dominant sense when "light" is used in this way. Sense 11 "any device serving as a source of illumination" is clearly not the correct one here, as it would be describing the physical light source itself. Therefore, Sense 5 it is.
