**My Analysis of "Time" in Context**

Okay, so the phrase is "...and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there..." and I need to nail down the meaning of "time." Let's break down the possibilities. Sense 1, a specific instance? No. Sense 2, a resource? Definitely not. Sense 3, an indefinite period? Potentially, but feels a bit weak. Sense 4, a suitable moment? Doesn't fit the flow. Sense 6, a person's experience, or Sense 7, clock time, or Sense 8, the fourth dimension? No.

Ah, but now we're at Sense 5: "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past". The phrase is "as time passed". Bingo! That feels right. Let me just double-check with Sense 3 again. "Time passes" strongly leans toward this continuum, this abstract dimension. Yes, "time passes" explicitly references this continuous passage.

Ah, yes, Sense 5 is the overarching concept. My analysis is complete. Therefore, I can confidently select **Sense 5** as the correct interpretation for "time" in this context.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Passed"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "passed" in the context of "as time passed." My expertise tells me we're dealing with the *elapsing* of time, its progression. I need to pinpoint the precise meaning here, the best synonym or phrasing that captures this.

Candidate 4, "pass%2:38:03:: | definition=pass by | synonyms=elapse, lapse, slip by, glide by, slip away, go by | examples=three years elapsed," looks promising. The definition of "pass by" and synonyms such as "elapse" are exactly what I'm looking for in that context. "Three years elapsed," or "time elapsed," perfectly mirrors the initial phrase "as time passed."

I can immediately rule out alternatives like "go across or through" (Candidate 1) or "move past" (Candidate 2), and while "come to pass" (Candidate 8) is related to events happening, it doesn't convey the same sense of time moving forward.

So, Candidate 4 is the clear winner; it's the exact match. It's the only one that truly captures the idea of time elapsing, just as "passed" does. This is the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Seemed"**

Okay, so the target word is "seemed" in this specific phrase: "...and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there..." I need to pinpoint the precise meaning here. Let's see... the candidate senses are: it gives a certain impression ("look, appear"), it seems to be true, probable, or apparent ("appear"), it appears to exist, or it appears to one's own mind or opinion.

"It seemed as if..." immediately clicks with the "appear to be true" sense. It’s similar to "It seems that he is very gifted". I’m leaning towards sense 2 here. But, before committing, I’ll check the provided examples just to be sure.

Okay, let's compare:

*   **Sense 2**: "It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad"
*   **Sense 1**: "She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem"
*   **Sense 3**: "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"
*   **Sense 4**: "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters"

Right, and now, "it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there". Hmm... the phrase "it seemed as if..." takes "it" as a dummy pronoun, and that aligns really well with Sense 2, where "it" functions similarly (e.g., "It seems that..."). That makes the "appear to be true, probable, or apparent" sense the best fit for this context. I'm satisfied.

**My Thought Process on "Strange Little Man"**

Okay, so the task is to decipher the meaning of "strange" in "the strange little man." Right away, I see the connection to the earlier mention of "the stranger." My initial thought is it could be a simple case of the unknown, an unfamiliar person, someone Haney hadn't met before. But then I have to consider the nuances. Is it just "stranger" dressed up, or something more?

The context matters. The man "slip[ped] out the door quickly and silently... strange little man had never been there." That adds a layer of intrigue, maybe even a hint of mystery. The description of his actions, combined with the phrase "strange little man," starts to shift my understanding. It moves away from the purely factual ("unknown") and toward the more evaluative ("odd").

I'm juggling two main candidates: sense 1, something out of the ordinary, possibly weird, or, sense 2, simply not known before, unfamiliar.

I recall the common phrasing "the stranger stood up" transitioning to "the strange little man." Often, that shift from "stranger" to "strange" is about emphasis, leaning toward the "peculiar" aspect. "Slip out the door quickly and silently" does push in that direction as well.

The phrase "strange little man" feels almost set in stone as being about someone unusual. That hints that it is not purely about being unfamiliar, although that is the initial inference. If it *was* simply about unfamiliarity, then just "stranger" would work. But the "strange" elevates it to another level, adding something extra - oddness, even, or mysteriousness.

I start thinking of synonyms. "Unfamiliar" has "unknown" as a synonym. I see that there are examples. But I keep going back to the feeling I get from "strange little man," that it's more than just a label of unfamiliarity.

His cryptic "It's my line of work" and quick exit, coupled with Haney's feeling as if the man "had never been there," really solidifies that. It feels as though he is mysterious, the actions suggest oddness.

Even though "strange man" can just mean unknown, "strange little man" feels a bit different. I'm going with sense 1. The odd/weird/mysterious interpretation seems more likely. The phrase itself is nearly fixed, a set phrase, for that meaning. The stranger is a strange little man, he is not just strange because he is a stranger. He is strange because he is peculiar.

Yes, let's go with 1. It’s a definite choice. The peculiar interpretation wins.

**Deconstructing "Little" in "Strange Little Man"**

Okay, so the target is the word "little" in the phrase "the strange little man." Right, the context gives us a starting point: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door." My initial thought is that "little" likely refers to the man's physical size, given the preceding "small but wiry" description. Now, what are the candidate senses? I see:

1.  Limited in magnitude or extent - like "small dining room"
2.  Low in stature; not tall - basically, short.
3.  Evoking emotion - a "nice little job"

So, does "little" here mean *short* or *small*, as in general size? I recall that "little man" can be used colloquially to mean short, but it's more flexible.

Okay, back to the text. The man is described as "small but wiry". It seems "little" is just substituting for "small", referring to his size. Sense 6, being short, seems plausible initially, but the general sense of "small in magnitude/extent" is also at play. Let's look at the definitions.

Sense 6 is definitely "low in stature" and synonyms include "short." But does "little" really have an exact, direct sense for tallness? Ah, yes, "short, little" are grouped together.

But, a "little man" usually does lean towards smaller stature, so is it sense 1 or 6?

Wait! In WordNet, "little" meaning "low in stature" is sense_key=little%3:00:00:: which is sense 6.

Let's check sense 1: limited in magnitude, extent, etc. Synonyms: small. Is a man "limited in magnitude"? The examples are more like "a little dining room; a little house". Sense 6 is specifically "low in stature; not tall." Synonyms=short.

But! A "small" build encompasses both short and slight. "little%3:00:00::" is low in stature.

Let's look at sense 1: "small" is the synonym. "little%3:00:01::" -> synonyms=small.

Often "little man" would fit sense 1.

Wait, let's consider sense 1.

"the stranger stood up... small but wiry man". "small" is used. Then "strange little man".

I am going to go with sense 1 because "small" is the direct synonym, and he was previously called the "small" man.

Let's double-check if there's a better fit. Sense 1 synonyms: small. Sense 6 synonyms: short.

The text explicitly uses "small", so "little" meaning "small" is sense 1. **Decision: I'm choosing sense 1: the general sense of "small" in magnitude or extent, which is the direct synonym to the prior description of him as a "small man".**

**Analyzing the Context of "Man"**

Okay, the target word is "man." Let's see... the context is "...and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there..." Right, so it's that "strange little man" who left the scene. Immediately, that tells me the "man" refers to a specific individual – a small, wiry adult male. It's not a generic reference; it's a *person*, and definitely an adult, of the male gender. Therefore, Candidate 1, "an adult person who is male," aligns perfectly with the textual cues. Sense 1 is clearly the most semantically appropriate in this instance. This is a straightforward application of contextual disambiguation, pinpointing the specific entity described by the term "man."

**Analyzing the Usage of "Other"**

Okay, so the target is "other" in "the other glass on the table." The context: Phil's still hanging around, but the weird little dude is gone, leaving behind *the other* glass. Right, so I need to nail down exactly what "other" means in this situation.

It’s clearly an additional one, the one that *isn’t* Phil’s glass, the one that belonged to the now-departed fellow. That distinction is key. Let's see... looking at the candidate senses, I can eliminate the wrong ones.

*   "Not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - Bingo. This is spot on. It's the glass belonging to the *other* person, not Phil. This is the sense that fits the situation, so I will stick with it.
*   "Recently past" – Nope, that’s completely irrelevant. No temporal relation is relevant to this word here.
*   "Belonging to the distant past" – Absolutely not. The "other glass" isn't a relic.
*   "Very unusual; different in character or quality" – Definitely not. The glass itself is likely ordinary, not unusual, so that is off the table here too.

So, the first sense is the only viable meaning here, making it very straightforward. I can safely define "other" in this instance as "not the same one already mentioned". Good to go.

**Analyzing "Glass" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "glass," and the context is "...but for the other glass on the table." Let's break this down systematically. My initial impression is that the context points to a fairly straightforward, everyday usage. This likely involves some kind of hospitality setting, something along the lines of a "Customer" at a "table," and someone is handling a "drinking glass".

I immediately mentally scan the different senses of "glass." My domain expertise naturally brings up several possibilities: the brittle, transparent solid (Sense 1), the container for drinking (Sense 2), the quantity a glass holds (Sense 3), or more obscure senses like a telescope (Sense 4), meth (Sense 5), mirror (Sense 6), or glassware generally (Sense 7).

Given "other glass on the table," Sense 2, the container, leaps out as the most probable fit. It suggests that there is another drinking container in the scene. The phrasing implies a shared table or a similar setting where a drinking vessel is in use. All other senses, especially the more obscure ones, just don't have enough logical connection to the text. It doesn't seem like the context is discussing mirrors, telescopes, or glass as a material substance. Therefore, the "other glass on the table" most likely refers to another person's drinking glass.

**Deconstructing "Table" in Context**

Alright, the target word is "table." The context is: "...but for the other glass on the table." Hmm, so we're dealing with a physical object, some sort of furniture that a glass sits on. Let's see what the candidate senses offer. We have two that seem relevant: sense 2, which defines it as a piece of furniture with a flat top supported by legs, and sense 3, a table set for a meal.

Given the phrase "glass on the table," I immediately lean towards sense 2. It directly references the physical object. The phrase focuses on the flat surface. Sense 2 is the most basic, literal, physical interpretation of a "table". Sense 3 usually implies dining – "I reserved a table." While we could be in a restaurant or bar setting, the primary function here is supporting a glass. I'm going with sense 2.

Here's my analysis of the word "returned" in that sentence:

**My Interpretation of "Returned"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "returned" in the phrase "...he returned to his apartment..." My mind immediately jumps to the most likely meaning in this context: the act of going back or coming back to a place. We are talking about his apartment, and I need to solidify this idea, so I need to check my work.

My semantic network confirms this intuition. The primary sense of "return," as the ontology describes it, is: "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before." The examples provided, like "return to your native land," reinforces that the core concept is a journey back or a resumption of a previous state. In this instance, it's a very straightforward mapping: he left, and now he is back at his apartment. It's a precise fit, simple and obvious! No need to overcomplicate this.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Putting"**

Okay, so the target is "put", and the surface form is "putting". The context is "putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep." My immediate thought is that this is an idiom, specifically "put out of mind". Let's dissect this based on the basic spatial/abstract location metaphor, "put [incident] out of [mind]". I need to identify the appropriate sense of "put" here.

Looking at the sense candidates, I have:

1.  "put into a certain place or abstract location" – synonyms like "set," "place," "pose," and examples like "Put your things here."
2.  "cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation," exemplified by "That song put me in awful good humor" and "put your ideas in writing."
3.  "formulate in a particular style or language," with synonyms such as "frame," "redact," "cast," and "couch."
4.  "attribute or give."
5.  "make an investment."
6.  "estimate."
7.  "cause (someone) to undergo something."
8.  "adapt."
9.  "arrange thoughts, ideas, temporal events."

Hmm, with "putting the incident 'out of mind'," I'm thinking of "mind" as an abstract location, and the action is moving the incident out of that location. Sense 1, "put into a certain place or abstract location," seems like the most promising fit. Does it cover "putting the whole incident out of mind"? Yes, the abstract location angle works perfectly.

Let's check Sense 2 just to be sure. "Cause to be in a certain state" doesn't quite resonate with "putting something out of mind" in the same way. It aligns with things like "putting someone in a good mood," but this is more about removing something from a mental space.

I'm remembering that in WordNet, "put out of one's mind" might be listed as a separate idiom, but it's typically handled under the umbrella of "put," and it points to Sense 1, the abstract location interpretation. So, yes, "put ... out of mind" – mind as an abstract location, and the meaning of 'put' here is best captured by Sense 1. I am confident that Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit.

**Deconstructing "Whole" in the Phrase**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "whole" in that phrase – "putting the whole incident out of mind." I'm looking for the specific sense of "whole" here, not a list of unrelated options.

Candidate 1, "including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete," immediately clicks. "Whole incident" clearly implies the *complete* incident, every detail, every aspect. That's the core meaning we're looking for.

Then we have candidates that are quite obviously not right:
*   Siblings? Nope.
*   Uninjured? Doesn't fit.
*   Healthy? Irrelevant.
*   Acting Together? Not what we are looking for.

I'm confident we have the right reading. Candidate 1 is the intended sense. It's the only one that makes logical and semantic sense in context.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Incident"**

Okay, so the target word is "incident," and the context is that the person put the "whole incident out of mind." Let's break this down. My initial instinct is to consider the common senses, specifically, a "single distinct event" and a "public disturbance." Given the surrounding text, the key is what the subject puts out of mind before sleeping.

It's clear that the "incident" refers to a specific encounter, likely with the stranger at the bar. While an encounter *could* escalate to something like a public disturbance, the phrasing emphasizes the subject's desire to forget about it and go to sleep. So, the more appropriate sense here, without a doubt, is sense 1: a "single distinct event." The encounter was a specific occurrence, a discrete happening that the person can easily "put out of mind". Sense 2, "a public disturbance," just doesn't fit the flow or sentiment of the sentence. Sense 1 is the obvious and correct choice.

**Deconstructing "Out of Mind"**

Okay, so the target is "mind" in the phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind". My initial instinct is that this is about actively *forgetting* or removing something from the realm of conscious thought and recall. I need to be precise.

I'm thinking about two candidate definitions for "mind." First, the seat of reason, thoughts, and feelings, which is the "head" or the "brain." Second, the faculty of recall and remembrance. The phrase "out of my head" feels closest, and that's linked to the first sense, but the second definition, with examples like "it came to mind" has some relevance here too. "Out of sight, out of mind" gives me pause.

Looking at WordNet, "out of mind" is a frequent idiom, and relates to both senses. "Keep in mind," "bear in mind," and "come to mind" all lean toward the recall/remembrance aspect (Candidate 2). Then I think of idioms like "putting the whole incident out of mind". Is "mind" the faculty of thought, or just a container for memories?

The synonyms for Candidate 1 are “head”, “brain”, “psyche”, “nous”. While I can't directly use "putting the whole incident out of *head*," examples like "I couldn't get his words out of my head" are helpful. WordNet defines "out of one's mind" as being crazy, but this is the idiom "out of *mind*," where something is "out of memory".

"Put out of one's mind" usually maps to the mind as the faculty of thought or memory. Remembering sense 2: "recall or remembrance" and using the example "it came to mind," then "putting it out of mind". But the definition of candidate 1 also seems appropriate, that it is "responsible for one's thoughts and feelings."

The key seems to be the act of *stopping* myself from thinking about the incident. This strongly aligns with "head," so that would be Candidate 1. I need to double-check, though. When I look up "mind" in WordNet in relation to "put out of mind" there aren't any direct multiword examples, but looking at sense 2 is "recall or remembrance". This has no synonyms and "it came to mind" as an example. Sense 1 is "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings," but the synonyms are "head, brain, psyche, nous," with examples like "his mind wandered; I couldn't get his words out of my head". So "Out of my head" -> "Out of my mind" -> "put the incident out of mind". This is the right choice.

I'm leaning towards Candidate 1, but maybe 2? "Out of mind" could be about "memory" or "thoughts".

Wait, "mind" in "out of mind" might be sense 2 (remembrance). "Time out of mind" is time out of memory. This is relevant. But "put something out of one's mind" means to be the container of thoughts (Candidate 1). I will go with 1.

Re-reading: "putting the whole incident out of mind." It means out of someone's thoughts. Candidate 1, then, with its emphasis on "thoughts and feelings," is the most fitting.

**Analyzing "The Next Day"**

Okay, let's break this down. The target word is "next" as it appears in "The next day." My initial task is to identify the intended sense of "next" in this context. I've considered a few candidates, as I would, given my expertise in semantic analysis.

First, there's the sense of something immediately following in time or order. Synonyms would be words like "following," and a good example would be "the following day." This immediately jumps out as a strong possibility.

Then, I considered "next" as referring to spatial proximity – being nearest in space or position. This doesn't seem to apply here.

Finally, I considered the sense relating to elected officials who haven't yet taken office. This is obviously not relevant.

Considering the context of "The next day," sense number one, relating to time, is the only one that truly fits. It's a precise match. Therefore, my interpretation, at least in the phrase in question, is settled: "next" means "immediately following in time."

**Analyzing the Senses of "Day"**

Okay, so the word I need to understand is "day" in that sentence: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before." Let's break down the possible meanings. I see a few options: a full rotation of the Earth, a point in time, a specific purpose, daytime, or the recurring hours when we're awake.

Hmm, in "The next day, Sunday," it seems like it's referring to the period after "the night before". So is it sense one, a 24-hour interval, or sense two, a point or period in time?

If I look at sense one, the twenty-four hour concept, that fits with "two days later they left." "The next day" clearly refers to the next 24-hour period, in this case, the calendar day. Then again, "some point or period in time" works with phrases like "any day now" or "that day".

But "The next day" acts structurally similar to "two days later." And the additional part of the sentence "Sunday" is a calendar day. So "Sunday" aligns with sense 1: the 24-hour time period.

Okay, let's just make sure. Sense one is a 24-hour period, and Sunday is a 24-hour period. "The next day, Sunday..." refers to the interval, in this case "Sunday", following the previous "night before". So, yep, I'm confident that sense one is the appropriate definition here.

**Analyzing the Word "Hangover" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "hangover," and I need to figure out the right meaning here. The context is this: "Haney hit the sack... before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before." Hmm, so he went to bed and then woke up with a "hangover" on Sunday. That immediately screams alcohol. This indicates drinking occurred the night before.

Let's look at possible senses. I've got: 1) disagreeable aftereffects from drug use, particularly alcohol. 2) An official remaining in office past their term. 3) Something that's survived from the past. Clearly, sense number one, the physical aftermath of too much alcohol (or other drugs), is the most logical fit. It's a perfect match, given the context. Seems pretty straightforward, actually.

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Reminded"**

Okay, so the target word is "reminded" within the context of Haney's hangover and his recollections. Let's break this down. My initial scan throws up two plausible senses. The first, and most relevant here, is about putting something into someone's mind, like "Remind me to call Mother." This is the core semantic concept of bringing a memory or a thought to the forefront. The second sense, I see, is more about prompting or cueing – like providing assistance to help someone recall or continue.

Given the sentence, "The hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before," it's clear the hangover functions as a trigger. It caused Haney to remember. It's essentially "putting into the mind of someone" the knowledge of the night's events. The pain, the nausea – they act as a mnemonic device. It's not a prompt in the sense of a quiz show clue, it is the cause of remembering. Therefore, sense number one, the direct invocation of a memory or thought, is the correct and most appropriate interpretation in this instance. The hangover effectively *caused* the recall.

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

Okay, so the target is "night" in "the night before," and the context is about a hangover reminding someone where they were. My first thought is that it's the dark period of the previous day, which seems straightforward enough. But, I need to make a solid selection, and considering the phrase “the night before” is typically treated as a single time unit, my mind zeroes in on Sense 4: "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit." That definition feels like a good fit, since phrases like "three nights later" use "nights" as units, just as "the night before" does here.

Then I paused. Sense 1, "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside," is also applicable. I check on "the night before" to see if it is used a as a single unit or period of time (unit).

However, Sense 4 really clicks; the syntax of "the night before" is so similar to "three nights later" in how they're counting or referring to specific periods. The phrase "where he had been the night before" very strongly suggests that the night functions as a unit in this context.

Now, wait, could Sense 7, "the time between sunset and midnight," be possible? The phrase does refer to an evening/night period. But I return to my first guess.

I come back to the choice: Since "the night before" is referring to a specific period of time and is treated as a single time period, Sense 4 appears to be the best, and I'll go with that.

**Analyzing the Implied Meaning of "Hangover"**

Okay, here's how I'm breaking down this passage. The text mentions "hangover," and my initial focus, as someone in the field, immediately goes to the medical implications. The context is pretty straightforward: we've got a character experiencing unpleasant effects the morning after a night out. The need for aspirin strongly suggests a headache, which is a key symptom. Therefore, I'm interpreting "hangover" as directly related to the aftereffects of alcohol consumption.

I've got three potential definitions: "disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol)," "an official who remains in office after his term," and "something that has survived from the past." Given the context – the character's morning-after state – the first definition is clearly the most relevant and logically sound interpretation. The other two, dealing with political office or historical remnants, just don't fit the situation described at all. It's a textbook example of using context to determine the correct sense of a word.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Reminded"**

Okay, so the target word is "reminded," lemmatized to "remind." Let's see... the context is "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned." Hmm, my initial sense is that this is straightforward, but let's break down the possibilities.

My semantic network highlights two potential senses here. The first is about *putting something in someone's mind* – think "Remind me to call Mother." This aligns with the idea of triggering a memory or association. The second sense, however, is much more specific, relating to *assisting someone with a prompt or cue*, like in a performance. It's about direct guidance.

Now, considering the context – the hangover triggered the memory of the conversation. The connection here is clear: the hangover is the *cause*, and the memory is the *effect*. Sense 1, the "put in the mind of" definition, neatly captures this relationship. The hangover *put* the conversation in his mind, causing the groan. Sense 2, while grammatically possible, doesn't really fit the narrative, it's more about someone directly prompting a response from another. Therefore, sense 1 is definitely the correct interpretation here. This is a clear application of semantic disambiguation.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Went"**

Okay, so the lemma is "go," and the surface form is "went." The context is "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way..." My initial thought is that it describes a physical movement, a change in location. He *went* to get aspirin.

I need to quickly rule out other possible senses, though. Let's see... the definition for "go%2:38:00::" includes "change location; move, travel, or proceed," with synonyms like "travel," "move," "locomote." Definitely fits. But I need to eliminate any ambiguity. Does it mean "plump for," as in *give support to*? No, the context indicates physical movement. The phrase "passed the surly landlord on the way" supports this, solidifying that the action is physical.

Alright, back to the senses. Sense 1, change location, is the frontrunner. Let's double-check the other choices, just to be sure... Hmm, sense 3 is "move away from a place," and sense 28 is "be spent." Neither of these works here. "All my money went for food and rent" – nope. That's out.

So, sense 1 is definitely the best fit. "He went (changed location) for more aspirin" seems right. Another way to frame it would be, "He went (set out) for more aspirin." But, sense 1 is the most generic, the core movement verb. It's the most appropriate.

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

Okay, so the text gives us "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way..." My task is to pinpoint the most accurate sense of "day" in that sentence. The context, "The next day, Sunday", is crucial here. Let's see...

I've got a few options in my mind. First, there's the 24-hour cycle (sense 1), then a general point in time (sense 2), a day assigned to a purpose (sense 3), daytime (sense 4), and the waking hours (sense 5). Given "later in the day", I'm leaning toward daytime (sense 4) or the full 24-hour period (sense 1). "Later in the day" usually refers to the waking hours.

Let's dig a little deeper. "Later in the day" often aligns with daytime (sense 4) or perhaps the full 24-hour cycle (sense 1). Let me check some WordNet examples, things like "it is easier to make the repairs in the daytime" or "the dawn turned night into day". These point toward daytime, but the specific context is the key to it. It often means later during the daylight hours, or the complete period.

Okay, so we have a hangover on a Sunday and went to get aspirin later.

So, the phrase “later in the day” usually relates to the daylight hours (sense 4). It often goes with daytime, and could also mean the entire period of time. Let's look at sense 4 in WordNet.

I'm thinking about the calendar day (sense 1) – it's Sunday. And then, "later in the day" would refer to later *that* Sunday. That's a good approach. Let’s consider other possibilities. "two days later they left" - there's a reference to the calendar sense. In SemCor, "later in the day" is day%1:28:02 (daytime) or day%1:28:00.

"Later in the day" means daytime. That makes sense. However, "the day" refers to Sunday, which is a calendar day. So "later in the day [Sunday]". Should I pick sense 4 (daytime) or sense 1 (calendar day)? I am thinking "later in the day" refers to sense 4 more often. Wait, maybe that's not true, it is related to a particular day. So sense 1? But is it the most common sense in this context.

Given that it’s Sunday, it's clear the reference is to a calendar day (sense 1). "Later in the day [Sunday]". So "later in the day" is a point later during that Sunday.

Wait, now that I think about it, the phrase "later in the day" refers to daytime. Also, is it Sunday as in calendar date? It has to be Sunday! So calendar day. It's safe. It's a specific time during that day.

Let's just pick sense 1, as Sunday is a calendar day. I will pick sense 1, as the Sunday.
