**Analyzing "Favorite" in Context**

Okay, so the word is "favorite," and it's used in the phrase "...my favorite watering hole..." Alright, let's break this down. The challenge here is disambiguation. I need to figure out which sense of "favorite" is intended. I immediately think of a couple of possibilities.

The first sense, defined as "appealing to the general public" or synonymous with "popular", is a potential candidate. However, when I think about the phrase "my favorite watering hole," it doesn't quite fit. Is it simply popular? Probably, but that's not the core of the meaning in this instance.

The second sense, the one that defines "favorite" as "preferred above all others and treated with partiality," feels much more accurate. Synonyms like "best-loved," "preferred," and even "pet" resonate. This is the sense of *personal* preference, the one that indicates something I value above other options. It's the "best-loved" watering hole, the one I *prefer* over all others. That's the one.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Waiting"**

Okay, let's break down this "waiting" instance in "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start." First, I need to consider the potential senses. I've got a few candidates to evaluate:

*   **Sense 1:** "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something." This seems relevant, as the context implies a physical location.
*   **Sense 2:** "wait before acting," which includes synonyms like "hold off." This feels less relevant; there's no immediate indication of delaying action.
*   **Sense 3:** "look forward to the probable occurrence of," synonymous with "expect" or "await." This could fit, but I need to be sure.
*   **Sense 4:** "serve as a waiter or waitress," This is obviously irrelevant here.

Now, I'm leaning toward Sense 1 or Sense 3, "look forward to the probable occurrence of". But I want to be certain. The context is "I was *in* my favorite watering hole," which immediately anchors the action to a location. That suggests a *staying* in place to anticipate the game.

Let's drill down:

*   **Sense 1's definition and examples**: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something" directly aligns with the context. The example "I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets" emphasizes the *physical staying* aspect.
*   **Sense 3**: Is more about expectation; transitive, it seems, or could be wait/await. This could work with "expecting the game to start," but it doesn't immediately suggest a *physical location* aspect like Sense 1.

Given that the speaker is physically in the bar, Sense 1, "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something," is the most fitting interpretation. This is because the context provides a location. The act of "waiting" involves physical presence in the watering hole, implying they are staying put while anticipating the game. The definition of sense 1 is also a strong fit with the provided example sentence.

**Deconstructing "Game" in Context**

Alright, the target word is "game". The context: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin..." This refers to that specific moment, likely the Loma Prieta earthquake during a World Series game. I need to nail down the precise meaning. "Waiting for the game to start" - it's a specific contest, a sporting event.

Let's quickly run through the senses. We've got the general contest, a *single play*, an amusement, hunted animals... and some less likely ones like tennis divisions, scores, or secret schemes.

I'm zeroing in on senses 1 and 2. Sense 1, the contest with rules, has *contest*, *competition* as hypernyms. Sense 2, *a single play*, with the example, "the game lasted two hours," has *match* as a hypernym. I need to see the hierarchy here.

WordNet offers a bit more clarity. Sense 1 is a contest with rules leading to a social event, while sense 2 points to a match, which is a *formal contest* with a start, duration, and end. The context "waiting for the game to start" implies a specific *match*.

A play can start and last. Loma Prieta hit right before Game 3 of the '89 World Series. So, my hunch is correct. Sense 2 it is. A single *match* of a sport - a particular instance.

To be certain, let's consult SemCor and Princeton WordNet for corroboration. Bingo! "the game was called," "after the game," "watch the game," "during the game," "baseball game," "football game". all support the *temporal event* (game%1:04:03::), a match, which has duration and a distinct start and end. So, sense 2 is definitively the intended sense here: a specific *match* or play within a larger contest.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Start"**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "start" in the context of "waiting for the game to start." My goal is to pinpoint the most accurate sense of "start" in this sentence. Let's break this down. I've got a list of possible senses, and I need to carefully evaluate each one.

I'm starting by considering the basic senses, looking at their definitions and examples. Sense 1, "take the first step in carrying out an action," feels wrong. Sense 2, "set in motion, cause to start," seems a little forceful. Sense 3, "leave," is obviously incorrect. Now, sense 4, "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" is interesting, with examples like "The second movement begins after the Allegro." This feels right, doesn't it? A game is an event, a temporal one at that.

I'm also considering sense 9, "begin or set in motion." This seems like a strong contender, but it might be more about an active initiation, like "Ready, set, go!" which is not exactly the context here. I'm also looking at sense 1, and sense 2.

I'm thinking, I need to check how "start" is used in the context of time. I’m thinking to myself, "The game starts at 7," – similar to how a movement in a symphony begins. Does WordNet have an answer?

Okay, let's go back to Sense 4: It's "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense." The examples include "The second movement begins after the Allegro." Aha! "The game" is also a temporal event. This seems to be the best match.

Wait a second. What about sense 9 (motion)? Let me evaluate it. "I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!" is very different from what I want here. Sense 4 makes so much more sense.

Okay, let's solidify this. Can an event 'start' in Sense 4? Yes! "The second movement begins after the Allegro" - that is an event. So is "the game."

Wait. Could this be the 1989 World Series game? Loma Prieta earthquake! The earthquake happened right before Game 3!

Okay, so let's verify. Sense 4 (start%2:42:00::) explicitly defines "start" as having a beginning in a temporal sense, and this fits perfectly with "waiting for the game to start." Therefore, sense 4 is, without a doubt, the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Verb "Felt" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "felt," lemmatized from "feel," and the specific sentence is "I felt the temblor begin." My initial task is to choose the correct sense. I've got a list of potential senses to sift through.

First up is the emotional state sense. While "felt" *can* refer to an emotional state, the context isn't right. This doesn't seem to be about experiencing an emotion or being in a particular state of mind. Sense 2 involves a belief, based on emotion, intuition, or indefinite grounds. This seems even further off the mark given the context. Then there is the "physical sensation" or "sense" sense, which seems promising. "Perceiving by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles." This is where things start to click. The fourth is "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" - this is another option to consider, but it doesn't quite capture the nature of experiencing a *temblor*. Finally, the passive experience sense.

The key is "temblor." A temblor is an earthquake, a physical event. So, I have to consider the type of feeling that this physical event causes. The temblor is a *physical* sensation – the shaking, the vibration. "I felt the temblor begin" is about perceiving that physical motion, just like feeling the wind or an object brushing my arm. Sense 3, with its emphasis on physical perception via the senses, seems like the perfect fit.

**Deconstructing "Begin" in the Context of a Temblor**

Okay, so the target is "begin," and the context is "I felt the temblor begin."  My immediate thought is to consider the various senses. Let's see... I quickly cycle through the senses.  Sense 1 looks like a non-starter; it's about initiating an action, which isn't the primary meaning here. Sense 2 looks promising, a beginning in a "temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense." Sense 3 is about causing something to start, and 4 and 10 about speaking... not the temblor. Senses 5, 7, 8, and 9 don't seem applicable here.

The key is "the temblor" – an earthquake. It's a *temporal* event. I'm drawn back to Sense 2, and then Sense 6: "have a beginning, of a temporal event."  This looks like a good fit, but let me be certain. Sense 2's examples ("The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro") make me wonder. The DMZ isn't exactly a temporal event in itself, but a boundary. The second movement... that's more about order, isn't it? So, while technically *having* a beginning, it's about *sequence* or *order* and is evaluative... it is not the main aspect.

I go back to WordNet to make sure I am on the right track. Sense 6, with its definition and examples ("WW II began in 1939 when Hitler marched into Poland; The company's Asia tour begins next month"), seals the deal. A temblor is, in the end, an *event* that occurs in time.  It *begins*. The "temporal event" sense, begin%2:42:04::, is the winner here. It is the most precise and appropriate selection. Now, let's just make sure I have my candidate numbers in line. Yes, candidate 6 maps to the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Glanced"**

Okay, so the target word is "glanced," the past tense of "glance," in this sentence: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!' together." My immediate task is to determine the correct sense of "glanced" here.

The provided senses are:

1.  *glance%2:39:00:: | definition=throw a glance at; take a brief look at | synonyms=peek, glint | examples=She only glanced at the paper; I only peeked--I didn't see anything interesting*
2.  *glance%2:38:00:: | definition=hit at an angle*

Obviously, in the context "glanced at the table next to mine," the meaning is clearly about taking a brief look. Sense 2, referring to hitting at an angle, is utterly irrelevant. Sense 1, with its definition of "throw a glance at; take a brief look at," aligns perfectly with the intended meaning. This is a straightforward case, where context makes the sense disambiguation trivial. Thus, the correct sense index is 1.

**My Analysis of "Table" in the Earthquake Context**

Okay, here's what's running through my mind as I tackle this "table" disambiguation. The task is clear: I'm dissecting the word "table" within this particular earthquake-related sentence. It's a MASC-style task, which means it's about nailing the WordNet sense. This context is critical: I'm in a watering hole, the temblor starts, and I glance at the table next to mine, smile, and we mouth "Earthquake!" together.

Immediately, I zero in on what "table" *could* mean. Is it the physical piece of furniture? Is it the people seated there? The "guilty smile" and the "we both" are huge clues. You don't smile at a table; you smile at *someone* at the table. And "we both" *has* to refer to the speaker and someone else – and who is the only other entity around? That *table*! This makes me lean toward sense 5 - the people at the table. I rule out table as tableware.

I'm thinking, this is a bar, not a formal dining setup. Then, I remember the instruction to look at how WordNet glosses are schematic. That means, the gloss is not always an exact match! It says "for a meal or game." Does a bar setting mean there is NO meal or game happening? I quickly realize, that detail doesn't matter so much! In essence, Sense 5 covers all situations where people are gathered, social, at a table – drinking, chatting, whatever. It's a general sense, not just specific to a meal or a game.

The key is "we both." That means a metonymy is in play, where the table stands in for the people. This is an English-language convention. This is what WordNet's Sense 5 is for! And the instruction in the prompt says to use the context. I’m thinking, this IS exactly the kind of situation for sense 5!

I'm checking: if this phrase were about a car, the WordNet would have no "car-people" sense. But it does, for `table%1:14:01::`, which is perfect!

Then, I'm reminding myself how to think like a MASC annotator, carefully considering the possible senses: furniture (Sense 2) or people (Sense 5). Sense 3 does not apply because the table is not set with tableware for a meal.

In the bar context, with an earthquake, it's about the interaction of people. The author is watching someone, making a connection. Now I am convinced, Sense 5 it is!

Okay, here's my breakdown of this.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Next"**

Right, so the goal is to pinpoint the exact meaning of "next" in that sentence: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table <t>next</t> to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake! 'together."

My initial thought process involves considering the likely candidates. The prompt offers three potential senses for "next". Let's run through them:

*   **Sense 1:** "immediately following in time or order (following)" – Doesn't quite fit. The table isn't "following" anything in a temporal or ordered sequence. It doesn't make sense to say the table is "succeeding" something else.
*   **Sense 2:** "nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space (adjacent, side by side)" – This feels much more promising. The phrase "table next to mine" strongly suggests a spatial relationship, like the tables are right beside each other.
*   **Sense 3:** "(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving" - This is clearly a distraction, and makes no sense in this context.

Therefore, given the context of a table and a spatial relationship, it's pretty clear that **Sense 2**, the spatial meaning (adjacent, side by side), is the correct interpretation. The table is physically near or beside "mine". Problem solved!

**Analyzing the "Guilty" Smile**

Okay, here's the breakdown of this "guilty smile" situation. The context is pretty specific: a shared "Earth-quake!" mouthed between two people, followed by the use of the word "guilty." My initial reaction is that it's probably *not* about being literally responsible for an earthquake – that's a bit too literal, right? The word "guilty" has two basic senses, from my expertise: one related to actual culpability, being "responsible for a reprehensible act," the other "showing a sense of guilt."

Given the "smile," my understanding gravitates towards the latter. The phrase "guilty smile" aligns well with "a guilty look," which is a classic indicator of emotional state. That means we're dealing with "showing a sense of guilt," or perhaps "shamefaced." The smile itself is likely conveying something unspoken – maybe a shared secret, a slight transgression, or even just embarrassment about their immediate reaction to the situation. It's a nuanced emotional signal. The situation calls for the second sense.

Okay, here's my take on those thoughts, framed as my own mental process:

**Deconstructing "Mouthed"**

Alright, the target is "mouthed," lemmatized to "mouth." The context provides a crucial clue: "...and we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!' together." My mind immediately jumps to the possible senses of "mouth." Let's see what we're working with here.

I've got three candidates: expressing in speech, articulating silently, and touching with the mouth. The context is explicit: "mouthed the *words*." Right away, the definition that encompasses *silent* articulation has my attention. I'm thinking, this is a clear case of forming the words with the lips only, no actual sound. Definition two, "articulate silently; form words with the lips only," is a perfect fit. The example of "She mouthed a swear word" is a dead ringer for this context. We've got a match. Sense 2 it is.

**Analyzing the Semantics of "Words"**

Okay, so I need to pinpoint the precise meaning of "words" in that specific sentence: "...smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake!" together." The word "words" is the target, obviously. Let's see, what are the candidates... I've got a few options here. Sense 1, "a unit of language that native speakers can identify," sounds promising. It's the building block definition. Sense 2 offers "a brief statement," and Sense 3, which is omitted here.

Considering the context, "mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!'"... Ah, it's pretty clear cut. They're *mouthing* the actual linguistic units, the sound chunks, the verbal constructs. Sense 2, "a brief statement," doesn't quite fit, because they are plural words. That makes Sense 1, "a unit of language that native speakers can identify," the *perfect* fit. It's about the individual, identifiable units of the English language, in the context of being spoken or mouthed. Case closed!

Here's my thought process, as if I were analyzing this:

**Identifying the Correct Sense of "Earth-quake"**

Okay, so the target is "Earth-quake," and the context is pretty straightforward: a temblor, the table shaking, and the observation that "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass." This screams *geological* event. The mention of the temblor and the phrase "usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass" makes it fairly obvious we're dealing with a physical phenomenon.

Now, let's consider the candidate senses. Sense 1 – the shaking, the vibration, the geological event itself – that fits perfectly. It describes exactly what's being discussed: something felt, something that "passes." Synonyms like "quake" and "temblor" are spot-on.

Sense 2 – "a disturbance that is extremely disruptive" – while accurate in *a* sense, doesn't really work here. Yes, an earthquake *is* disruptive, but the context is more immediate, more physical. The focus is on the *experience* of the shaking, not the abstract disruption it might cause.

Therefore, given the explicit mention of a temblor and the clear implication of a physical event, I'm confident that sense 1, the geological definition of an "Earth-quake," is the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Long"**

Okay, the target word is "long" within the sentence "That's usually how <t>long</t> it takes for the temblors to pass." Time to break this down. First, let's consider the possible senses from the knowledge base. We have a few candidates here, let's see, we have a temporal sense, a spatial sense, "tall," "good at remembering," "holding securities," "speech sounds," "involving substantial risk," "planning prudently," and "abundant."

Given the sentence, the context clearly indicates "long" is describing the duration it takes for something to happen. The temblors, in this case, the time they pass. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one linked to duration, that temporal sense: the one that talks about a "relatively great or greater than average duration or passage of time". This aligns perfectly with the phrase "how *long* it takes". So, I am confident that the correct sense is sense 1 (sense_key=long%3:00:02::).

**Analyzing the Usage of "Takes"**

Okay, the target word is "takes" within the sentence: "That's usually how long it <t>takes</t> for the temblors to pass." Right, let's break this down. My initial assessment is that we're dealing with the concept of duration here – how much time is needed for something to happen.

I'm considering the potential senses from the lexicon. Sense 2 jumps out immediately: *sense_key=take%2:40:06:: | definition=require (time or space) | synonyms=occupy, use up | examples=It took three hours to get to work this morning; This event occupied a very short time*. That definition, "require (time or space)," feels like a very strong contender. "How long it takes" aligns perfectly with the idea of duration or the amount of time needed. The example provided further solidifies this match.

I'm also considering sense 14: *sense_key=take%2:42:00:: | definition=require as useful, just, or proper | synonyms=necessitate, ask, postulate, need, require, involve | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did; success usually requires hard work*. While this sense involves requiring something, like courage or hard work, the core idea is about a *necessity* rather than a *duration*. This doesn't seem to fit the current context.

In this instance, focusing on "how long it takes" in the sentence "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass", it's clear the meaning is directly related to time. It’s the time *required* for the temblors to subside. So, definitively, Sense 2 is the most appropriate. The sentence mirrors the idea of something requiring a certain duration, much like "It took three hours to get to work this morning."

**Analyzing the Senses of "Pass" in the Context of Temblors**

Okay, so the target word is "pass" in "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass." I need to determine the correct sense of "pass" here. Let's run through the candidates systematically.

First, I see several possibilities: "go across or through," "move past," the legislative sense, "elapse," something with hands or stretching (clearly irrelevant), "travel past," and "come to pass". Then there are two that stand out - "disappear gradually" and "move past".

My initial thought is that a temblor "passing" would mean either disappearing, or moving away.

Now, a temblor is a tremor, or earthquake. Does "pass" mean "disappear gradually," "blow over," "fade" in this context? Or does it mean "move past" or "travel by?" That's the core question.

Focusing on Sense 13, "disappear gradually", the synonyms are: "evanesce, fade, blow over, pass off, fleet," which matches well. "The pain eventually passed off" is a clear example, and "a storm passing" suggests something similar.

I remember WordNet having this particular sense in a synset, so let's check it: yep, it's there as `evanesce%2:30:01::`, and the synonyms and definition align perfectly.

On the other hand, Sense 2, "move past," doesn't quite fit. While things *can* "move past," the temblors are *not* traveling by the speaker.

Checking other senses:
*   Sense 4 ("elapse") deals with the passage of time, which doesn't directly apply here.
*   Sense 8 ("come to pass") means "happen," which is not right here. The temblors don't just "happen"; they *subside*.

Given the context, sense 13, the one with "disappear gradually," "blow over," and "fade", is the only one that truly applies to a physical phenomenon like an earthquake ending. That's the intended sense.

**Analyzing the Word "Time" in Context**

Okay, let's break this down. My goal is to pinpoint the most accurate WordNet sense for "time" in this specific sentence: "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass. This <t>time</t>, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

I've got a list of candidate senses, and I need to methodically evaluate each one. Let's start with the first candidate, sense_key=time%1:11:00::, which has the definition "an instance or single occasion for some event," synonyms like "clip," and examples such as "this time he succeeded."

Immediately, I see a clear alignment. The phrase in the text, "This time, it just got stronger...," directly mirrors the example "this time he succeeded." It's referring to *this* particular occurrence, *this* single instance of the temblor. That's a perfect match for the definition, indicating a single occasion.

Therefore, after this evaluation, I can confidently identify that sense index 1, i.e. sense_key=time%1:11:00::, is the appropriate sense for the word "time" in this context.

Here's my thought process, analyzed as the expert I am:

**Analyzing "Got" in Context**

Alright, the target word is "got," from the lemma "get." The context is "This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." My initial focus is on the phrase "it just got stronger." Immediately, I recognize that "got" is followed by the comparative adjective "stronger." This strongly suggests a sense of *becoming* stronger, a change in state.

My mind immediately moves to potential synonyms: "become," and "go" are prime candidates for this specific usage. I need to be precise, so I need to nail down the precise meaning. Let me look at the gloss... Aha, the gloss is "enter or assume a certain state or condition". That is exactly what's happening here. The example "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious" is the perfect parallel.

Now, let me cross-reference the candidate senses: I see that sense key `get%2:30:00::` corresponds exactly to the definition I've identified, "enter or assume a certain state or condition," and the synonyms "become, go," and examples match perfectly. This sense captures the idea of something transitioning into a new state, in this case, a state of increased strength. Bingo. The correct sense is confirmed.

**Analyzing the Instability**

Okay, here's the situation. The text describes a scenario of escalating intensity – something got stronger, and then the whole structure began to shake violently. The target word is "building." My expert intuition immediately tells me we're likely dealing with the physical structure itself, experiencing seismic activity.

Let's break down the potential meanings. There's the obvious sense – the physical edifice, the structure itself (sense 1). There's also the act of construction, which doesn't fit the context. Then construction as a commercial activity (sense 3), which is far-fetched. Lastly, sense 4 refers to the people within the building, which doesn't make any sense here.

The phrase "shaking violently up and down" is a dead giveaway. It points directly to the physical structure, a solid, immovable thing, experiencing a forceful disturbance. It has to be sense 1: the physical building. Therefore, sense index 1 is correct.

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

Okay, so I'm presented with "started" in the sentence "...and then the building <t>started</t> shaking violently up and down..." My first thought is to dive into the candidate senses, right? Let's see what we've got. I've got a list here, and my brain starts sifting through them based on the verb "started" followed by a gerund ("shaking").

Immediately, sense 1 (start%2:30:00:: - "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action") jumps out. The examples given, like "We began working at dawn," are clearly relevant. It’s about initiating an action, and the "start VERB-ing" structure is definitely something I need to keep in mind. The synonyms listed – begin, get down, get, etc. – confirm this initial hunch. The frame "Something started VERB-ing" fits perfectly.

But, I'm not going to jump to conclusions; I have to keep exploring the alternatives. Let’s check WordNet to verify the frame "Something started VERB-ing" and confirm the start%2:30:00:: sense. WordNet confirms that the verb can be followed by an aspectual/ing verb, which I suspected.

I then check sense 4 (start%2:42:00:: - "have a beginning") to see if it makes sense in the building example. However, I realize it's intransitive. This is a crucial distinction. It doesn't readily take a direct object like "shaking" – it's more about time or space, like "The war started in 1914". Sense 4 is out.

Then I move to sense 9 (start%2:38:00::), "begin or set in motion" - I also see it's about initiating motion or action. This does seem related, but is also intransitive.

So, I go back to sense 1 (start%2:30:00::). The examples there, with the aspectual/catenative verb "start doing something", are very similar to "the building started shaking." This is the best match. This corresponds with begin%2:30:00:: as well. Bingo. I'm now pretty confident that sense 1 is definitely the correct sense here.

**Summary of the Sense Disambiguation Process**

Okay, so I need to nail down the best sense for "shaking" in this sentence. The building is "shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." My initial instinct is to consider senses 1, 2, 3, and 4. Sense 1, "move or cause to move back and forth," seems promising, as does sense 3, "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively," and sense 4, "move back and forth or sideways."

I start by digging into the definitions and synonyms. Sense 1's synonym, "agitate," is interesting. Sense 3, with "judder" as a synonym, also catches my eye. "Violently up and down" makes me lean towards sense 3. But wait, is it really a rapid, intensive vibration like a juddering engine, or more of a back-and-forth tossing motion?

I check WordNet, confirming the transitive/intransitive nature of the verb "shake." I scrutinize the examples for each sense. The phrase "up and down" is crucial. Sense 4, with "rock, sway," seems less likely because the motion is specifically "up and down," and I'm reminded of the example "the tall building swayed." That's not right.

"Judder" becomes the focus. It's defined as "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively." A building shaking violently *feels* like judder. But, judder is often applied to machines, it is usually an intransitive verb.

WordNet shows "judder" *and* "shake" in the same synset! That's weird. Is WordNet suggesting they're synonymous in this specific meaning? If that were the case, why did the author write "shaking violently"? It makes the phrase redundant. I check the hypernyms of judder, and yes, it is "shake"! "Judder" means "shake rapidly and intensively", so in the definition for judder, the definition of "shake" must be the general definition.

I keep mulling, contrasting "judder" with the context of a building tossed like a toy block. "Tossed up and down" doesn't sound like a high-frequency vibration; it sounds like large-scale physical agitation!

Now, back to the example of sense 1, "The chemist shook the flask vigorously." That's back-and-forth movement, just like tossing a toy block. And, the synonym here is "agitate".

I then go back to the definitions to compare:
Sense 1: move or cause to move back and forth (synonym: agitate)
Sense 2: move with or as if with a tremor (synonym: didder)
Sense 3: shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively (synonym: judder)
Sense 4: move back and forth or sideways (synonyms: rock, sway)

I discard sense 2 (tremor) and sense 4 (rock/sway).

Comparing Sense 1 vs. Sense 3, I am almost there. Is it a *judder*? It isn't a continuous small vibration, it's a large-scale to-and-fro movement. "The building" is tossed "up and down." That cannot be a judder.

Therefore, considering that "up and down" motion, the synonym of agitate in "The chemist shook the flask vigorously" and the contrast from the swaying motion of a building, I conclude that sense 1 is the most appropriate, general meaning: "move or cause to move back and forth."

Here's my thought process, as if I were analyzing this:

**Analyzing "child" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "child," specifically within the phrase "child's toy block." My focus is on determining the correct sense of "child" in this specific context, considering the surrounding text: "...as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

Let's break down the candidate senses I've identified:

*   **Sense 1: "a young person of either sex" (kid, youngster, minor...)** This seems highly likely, as it aligns with the idea of a toy block *belonging to* or *intended for* a young person. The phrase feels natural.
*   **Sense 2: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age"** While technically accurate, it's less likely in this context. We're not discussing the *age* of the offspring here; we're considering the object itself.
*   **Sense 3: "an immature childish person"** This is possible, but less direct than the first sense. While a toy block might be associated with immaturity, the phrase doesn't primarily convey that meaning.
*   **Sense 4: "a member of a clan or tribe"** This is completely off-base and unrelated to the given context.

Therefore, my conclusion is clear:

"A 'child's toy block'" refers to a toy block specifically designed for or belonging to a young person, which points towards the first sense I identified. The most appropriate sense key is `child%1:18:00::`, representing "a young person of either sex." Sense index 1 is the clear winner here. The word "child" functions to refer to a person of the appropriate age to use the block, and is not a reference to their lineage, immaturity, or grouping.
