Target lemma: week
Target surface form: weeks
Context:
So you thought I didn't mean what I said. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two <t>weeks</t> later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=week%1:28:00:: | definition=any period of seven consecutive days | synonyms=hebdomad | examples=it rained for a week
2. sense_key=week%1:28:01:: | definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | synonyms=workweek | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. sense_key=week%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week

Instructions:

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: The context says "two weeks later -- Saturday night". This refers to a period of seven consecutive days, specifically two periods of seven days. The first sense is "any period of seven consecutive days", with synonyms hebdomad and example "it rained for a week". The second sense refers to workweek. The third sense refers to a calendar week starting on Sunday. The most general and appropriate sense here is sense 1, "any period of seven consecutive days".

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: night
    *   Target surface form: night
    *   Context snippet: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday <t>night</t>, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
    *   The word "night" refers to a specific time on a specific day of the week (Saturday).

2.  **Evaluate candidate senses against the context:**

    *   *Sense 1 (night%1:28:00::):* "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside".
        *   This is the general physical definition. "Saturday night" fits this generally, but let's check other more specific time-point definitions.

    *   *Sense 2 (night%1:28:01::):* "a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom".
        *   Metaphorical sense. Not applicable here. The context is literal time.

    *   *Sense 3 (night%1:28:04::):* "the period spent sleeping".
        *   Example: "I had a restless night".
        *   Context: The character is in a bar drinking. He is not sleeping. This doesn't fit.

    *   *Sense 4 (night%1:28:02::):* "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit".
        *   Example: "three nights later he collapsed".
        *   This sense treats "night" as a unit of time or a specific point on the calendar. "Saturday night" refers to the dark part of the Saturday diurnal cycle. This looks like a strong candidate. It distinguishes "night" as a unit (like in counting: two nights later) or specific slot. The context specifies "Saturday night".

    *   *Sense 5 (night%1:26:00::):* "darkness".
        *   Example: "it vanished into the night".
        *   Refers to the quality of being dark or the void, not a specific calendar time like "Saturday night".

    *   *Sense 6 (night%1:28:05::):* "a shortening of nightfall".
        *   Example: "they worked from morning to night".
        *   Refers to the transition point or early evening. "Saturday night" usually refers to the whole evening period, not just the moment of nightfall.

    *   *Sense 7 (night%1:28:03::):* "the time between sunset and midnight".
        *   Example: "he watched television every night".
        *   This is a specific temporal range. "Saturday night" usually implies the evening/night hours. This is very similar to Sense 1 but more restricted (ending at midnight) or just referring to the conventional "evening" period. Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 7.
        *   Sense 1 says "after sunset and before sunrise".
        *   Sense 7 says "between sunset and midnight".
        *   Saturday night in a bar usually starts in the evening (post-sunset) and goes until late. It fits the period concept.
        *   However, looking at WordNet structure often found in these tasks:
            *   Sense 1 is the most general "dark outside" definition.
            *   Sense 4 is the "time unit" definition. The example "three nights later" suggests counting. "Saturday night" acts as a time designator.
            *   Let's look closer at Sense 4 ("diurnal cycle considered a time unit"). Does "Saturday night" count as a time unit? Yes. It anchors the event to a specific rotation of the earth.
            *   Let's look at Sense 7. "He watched television every night". This usage implies the habitual time slot.
            *   The specific phrase "Saturday night" pinpoints a specific instance of time.
            *   Often, specific named days/nights (like "Monday night", "Saturday night") are treated as time units (Sense 4) or just the general dark time (Sense 1).
            *   Let's look at the example for Sense 4 again: "three nights later he collapsed". This implies "night" as a unit of duration or a marker on a timeline.
            *   "Saturday night" marks a specific point on the timeline. "It was... Saturday night".
            *   Comparison:
                *   Sense 1: The physical condition of darkness (Time span).
                *   Sense 4: The abstract unit of time.
                *   Sense 7: The specific early half of the night.
            *   In "Saturday night", "night" contrasts with "day". We count days and nights. This suggests Sense 4 ("time unit") is the most precise for "Saturday night" when locating an event in time, rather than describing the lighting conditions. "It was Saturday night" means "It was the [time unit: Saturday night]".

    *   Let's reconsider Sense 1. If I say "I go out at night", I might mean Sense 1 (when it is dark). If I say "Saturday night", am I using Sense 1 or Sense 4?
        *   Sense 4 definition: "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit".
        *   "Saturday night" is the name of that time unit.
        *   Sense 7 definition: "the time between sunset and midnight". "Saturday night" activities often extend past midnight. Therefore Sense 7 is too restrictive. A bar visit on Saturday night often goes past midnight.
        *   Sense 1 definition: "the time after sunset and before sunrise". This covers the whole duration, even past midnight.
        *   Is "Saturday night" Sense 1 or Sense 4?
        *   WordNet hierarchies usually distinguish between the "period of darkness" (Sense 1) and the "time unit" (Sense 4).
        *   Usage "three nights later" (Sense 4 example) is clearly the unit.
        *   Usage "Saturday night" is also a unit on the calendar.
        *   Usage "he watched television every night" (Sense 7 example) or "I had a restless night" (Sense 3).
        *   Let's look at Sense 1 again. Synonyms: nighttime, dark. Context: "it was two weeks later -- Saturday night".
        *   The primary function here is locating the event in time.
        *   Sense 4 seems the best fit for "calendar days/nights". "Saturday" modifies "night". "Saturday night" is a specific unit of the cycle.
        *   Let's check the examples provided for Sense 4 again: "three nights later he collapsed". This is measuring time duration/position.
        *   The context sentence: "It was... Saturday night".
        *   This is identifying the specific time unit.

    *   Let's check Sense 1 again. Is there a difference between 1 and 4 in standard WSD annotation practices?
        *   Sense 1: The time during which it is dark. (Nature/Physics focus).
        *   Sense 4: The dark part of the cycle considered a time unit. (Calendar/Time focus).
        *   "Saturday night" is a calendar designation. It fits Sense 4 better than Sense 1 (which is more about the natural phenomenon).
        *   Sense 7 is "between sunset and midnight". Saturday night socializing often goes past midnight, making 7 potentially incorrect.
        *   Sense 1 is often used for generic "at night" phrases.
        *   Sense 4 is used for counting or specific calendrical mentions (e.g., "last night", "two nights ago", "Saturday night").
        *   Therefore, Sense 4 is the best fit.

3.  **Final Verification:**
    *   Context: "Saturday night".
    *   This is a calendrical reference.
    *   Sense 4: "time unit".
    *   Example: "three nights later".
    *   This matches the function of locating the event in the timeline (like "two weeks later"). It treats "night" as a distinct block of time distinguishable from "day".

    Let's double check Sense 7 again. "The time between sunset and midnight".
    If Haney stays in the bar until 1 AM, it is still "Saturday night" socially, but physically it is Sunday early morning. However, the period named "Saturday night" generally encompasses the late evening hours. If Sense 7 is strictly defined as sunset-midnight, it might be too tight for "night" in a general context, but WordNet often uses this to separate "evening" from "deep night".
    However, Sense 4 "time unit" covers the whole dark period considered as a block. "Saturday night" is the label for that block.
    Most WSD systems tag specific day parts (Monday, Tuesday, Saturday) combined with "night" as the time unit sense (Sense 4).

    Let's look at the provided examples again.
    Sense 1: "time after sunset..."
    Sense 4: "dark part of diurnal cycle considered a time unit" -> "three nights later".
    Sense 7: "time between sunset and midnight".

    The phrase "Saturday night" acts as a timestamp. "It was... Saturday night".
    Comparing "three nights later" (Sense 4) and "Saturday night": Both treat "night" as a counterable unit of the cycle.
    Therefore, Sense 4 is the correct choice.

    Wait, is Sense 1 the "default"?
    If I say "It is night", I mean Sense 1.
    If I say "Saturday night", I am delimiting a specific instance of the time unit.
    Sense 1 defines the *content* of the time (it is dark).
    Sense 4 defines the *role* of the time (a unit).
    In "Saturday night", the role is a unit of time.
    Sense 4 is superior to Sense 1 here.

    Refining choice:
    Sense 4 matches "Saturday night" functioning as a temporal locator/unit.
    Sense 7 is restricted to pre-midnight.
    Sense 1 is the generic physical time.

    Result: Sense 4.

    Let's check if there are any other interpretations.
    Is it Sense 7? "He watched television every night". This implies a routine during the evening. "Saturday night" could be Sense 7 if it implies "Saturday evening". However, "two weeks later -- Saturday night" sounds more like pinpointing a timeline location (Time Unit).
    Also, "two weeks later" creates a frame of time measurement. "Saturday night" completes the timestamp. This reinforces the "Time Unit" sense (Sense 4).

    Final decision: Sense 4.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "...Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
    *   Target word: "had" (form of "have").
    *   Object: "an excuse".
    *   Meaning in context: The subject (Haney) possesses or holds an "excuse" (a justification or reason) to drink heavily. It's not physical possession (like holding an object), but abstract possession/ownership of a reason or justification.

2.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `have%2:40:00::`: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense". Examples: "She has $1,000 in the bank", "He has got two beautiful daughters". This fits well. "Having an excuse" is an abstract sense of possession.
    *   2. `have%2:42:00::`: "have as a feature". Examples: "This restaurant features...". Doesn't fit. An excuse isn't a feature of the subject.
    *   3. `have%2:39:06::`: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". Examples: "get an idea", "experience vertigo". You don't "experience" an excuse in the sense of undergoing it. You possess a reason.
    *   4. `have%2:40:04::`: "have ownership or possession of". Examples: "He owns three houses". This is very close to sense 1, but often implies legal ownership. Sense 1 covers abstract possession better ("She has a point", "He has a cold", "He has an excuse").
    *   5. `have%2:30:00::`: "cause to move...". Examples: "He got his squad on the ball". Incorrect.
    *   6. `have%2:34:00::`: "serve oneself to, or consume regularly". Examples: "Have another bowl...". Incorrect.
    *   7. `have%2:41:00::`: "have a personal or business relationship". Examples: "have a postdoc". Incorrect.
    *   8. `have%2:36:00::`: "organize or be responsible for". Examples: "hold a reception". Incorrect.

    *   13. `have%2:32:00::`: "cause to do...". Incorrect.
    *   14. `have%2:40:05::`: "receive willingly...". Incorrect.
    *   15. `have%2:40:03::`: "get something; come into possession of". This refers to the act of receiving, not the state of possessing. The sentence says "he had an excuse", referring to the state of possession of that reason during that time.
    *   16. `have%2:29:05::`: "undergo (as of injuries...)". Incorrect.
    *   17. `have%2:40:02::`: "achieve a point or goal". Incorrect.
    *   18. `have%2:29:00::`: "cause to be born". Incorrect.
    *   19. `have%2:35:00::`: "have sex with". Incorrect.

3.  **Narrowing down:**
    *   Sense 1 ("have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense") vs Sense 4 ("have ownership or possession of").
    *   Context: "he had an excuse".
    *   "An excuse" is an abstract concept, a reason or justification.
    *   Sense 1's examples ("She has $1,000 in the bank" - concrete; "He has got two beautiful daughters" - relationship/abstract possession) and definition specifically mention "either in a concrete or an abstract sense".
    *   Sense 4's examples focus on ownership of property ("He owns three houses").
    *   Having an excuse is an abstract state of possession (similar to "having a right", "having a reason", "having a point").
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate choice.

4.  **Final Verification:**
    *   Target: "he had an excuse".
    *   Sense 1: "have or possess... in a concrete or an abstract sense".
    *   Fit: Excellent.

5.  **Formatting the output:**
    *   JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target:**
    *   Target lemma: `excuse`
    *   Target surface form: `excuse`
    *   Context snippet: "...Saturday night, when he had an <t>excuse</t> to drink heavier than usual..."

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The character (Phil Haney) is in a bar on a Saturday night.
    *   He is drinking heavily.
    *   The text says he had an "excuse" to drink heavier than usual.
    *   This implies a justification or a reason (internal or external) for his behavior (drinking heavily). It functions as a defense or a self-justification for the action.
    *   The "offensive behavior" or "failure" mentioned in sense 1 isn't necessarily a crime here, but excessive drinking is often something people feel the need to justify or excuse.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `excuse%1:10:00::`
        *   Definition: "a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc."
        *   Synonyms: alibi, exculpation, self-justification
        *   Examples: "he kept finding excuses to stay"; "every day he had a new alibi for not getting a job"
        *   *Fit:* This fits perfectly. Haney is using Saturday night (perhaps a specific event or just the day of the week) as a justification ("self-justification") for drinking heavily. The example "he kept finding excuses to stay" is structurally and semantically similar to "he had an excuse to drink". It's a reason cited to defend or permit the behavior.

    *   **Sense 2:** `excuse%1:10:01::`
        *   Definition: "a note explaining an absence"
        *   Examples: "he had to get his mother to write an excuse for him"
        *   *Fit:* This is specific to a written note, usually for school or work absence. The context is a man drinking in a bar, not submitting a note to an authority figure. This is incorrect.

    *   **Sense 3:** `excuse%1:09:00::`
        *   Definition: "a poor example"
        *   Synonyms: apology
        *   Examples: "it was an apology for a meal"; "a poor excuse for an automobile"
        *   *Fit:* This sense is used when something is a bad representation of its kind (e.g., "a poor excuse for a man"). The context here is about a reason/justification for an action, not a poor representation of something. This is incorrect.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the clear choice. It captures the meaning of a justification or reason used to defend an action (drinking heavily). The synonym "self-justification" and the example "he kept finding excuses to stay" align well with the context of finding a reason to drink.

5.  **Format the Output:**

Target lemma: drink
Target surface form: drink
Context:
So you thought I didn't mean what I said. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to <t>drink</t> heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
    *   Broader context: The character Phil Haney is described as potentially "very tight" (slang for intoxicated/drunk). He is in a "bar". He wants to be away from "talkative, friendly lushes" (alcoholics/heavy drinkers).
    *   The specific phrase is "drink heavier than usual".
    *   The object of the act isn't explicitly stated as "water" or "soda". The setting is a bar. The character is described as "tight" (drunk).
    *   The phrase "heavier than usual" implies quantity and intensity often associated with alcohol consumption in this specific register (drinking heavily).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `drink%2:34:00::` | definition=take in liquids | examples=drink several liters, drink soda.
        *   *Evaluation:* This is the most general sense. While technically one drinks alcohol, the context specifically points to a bar, being drunk ("tight"), and "lushes". This sense is too neutral and misses the specific alcoholic nuance prevalent in the text.

    *   **Sense 2:** `drink%2:34:01::` | definition=consume alcohol | examples=We were up drinking all night.
        *   *Evaluation:* The context is a bar. Haney is "tight" (drunk). He is avoiding "lushes". The phrase "drink heavier than usual" in a bar context almost certainly refers to alcohol. This fits perfectly.

    *   **Sense 3:** `drink%2:34:12::` | definition=propose a toast to | synonyms=toast.
        *   *Evaluation:* There is no mention of toasting, raising glasses for a specific honor, or the word "to". This is incorrect.

    *   **Sense 4:** `drink%2:31:00::` | definition=be fascinated or spell-bound by; pay close attention to | synonyms=drink in.
        *   *Evaluation:* This is a phrasal verb "drink in". The target text uses the simple verb "drink" in the context of physical consumption. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 5:** `drink%2:34:02::` | definition=drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic | synonyms=tope.
        *   *Evaluation:* This sense focuses specifically on the *habit* or *addiction* aspect ("be an alcoholic"). The text mentions he has an excuse to drink "heavier than usual" and mentions "lushes" nearby. While he might have a drinking problem (recurrent nightmare, tight, etc.), the specific act described is "consume alcohol" (Sense 2). Sense 5 is often used to describe the *characteristic* of a person ("He drinks") rather than a specific instance ("He had an excuse to drink tonight"). However, let's look closer. Does "drink heavier than usual" map to Sense 2 or Sense 5?
        *   WordNet 3.0 distinctions: Sense 2 is "consume alcohol". Sense 5 is "drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic".
        *   In the sentence "he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual", the core action is consuming alcohol. While the quantity is "heavy", the primary definition distinguishing it from drinking water or soda is the presence of alcohol. Sense 2 covers the general act of consuming alcohol (as seen in the example "We were up drinking all night"). Sense 5 implies the state of being an alcoholic or the act of drinking to excess as a defining trait. The text focuses on the specific event/act in the bar. "He had an excuse to [consume alcohol] heavier than usual." Sense 2 is the standard transitive/intransitive sense for alcohol consumption. Sense 5 is more specific to the addiction aspect.
        *   Let's check the examples. Sense 2: "We were up drinking all night." Sense 5: "The husband drinks and beats his wife."
        *   The text says "excuse to drink heavier". This is an instance of consumption. It's not describing his general state (though he might be an alcoholic). The sense "consume alcohol" (Sense 2) is the standard hypernym for the action in a bar. Sense 5 is too specific to "be an alcoholic" or "tope". While Haney might fit the description of a heavy drinker, the verb instance here is best captured by "consume alcohol". If he were drinking water, he wouldn't be "tight" or in a bar avoiding "lushes". Therefore, it is Sense 2.

3.  **Final Selection:**
    *   Context: Bar, "tight", "lushes", "heavier than usual".
    *   Action: Consuming alcohol.
    *   Match: Sense 2 (consume alcohol).

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 5 again:
    Sense 2 is "consume alcohol".
    Sense 5 is "drink excessive amounts... be an alcoholic".
    The sentence says he drinks "heavier than usual". This implies a specific instance of consumption, not necessarily the definition of his character as an alcoholic (though implied). The most direct mapping for "drinking in a bar" is Sense 2. Sense 5 often carries a connotation of habitual, addicted behavior as a *primary* definition, whereas Sense 2 captures the act itself. The example for Sense 2 ("We were up drinking all night") aligns well with the context of a Saturday night in a bar.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

    Index: 2.

It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than <t>usual</t>. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "usual" in the context: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."

Wait, there are two instances of "usual" in the context:
1. "heavier than usual"
2. "the usual corner"

The target lemma is "usual", target surface form is "usual". Let me look at the context carefully. The target is marked with `<t>usual</t>` around the second occurrence: "heavier than <t>usual</t>". Wait, no - let me re-read.

"he had an excuse to drink heavier than <t>usual</t>."

So the target is "usual" in "heavier than usual" - meaning more than what is normal/typical for him.

Sense 1: occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure - examples: "grew the usual vegetables; the usual summer heat"

Sense 2: commonly encountered - synonyms: common - examples: "a common (or familiar) complaint; the usual greeting"

The phrase "heavier than usual" means heavier than what is normal/customary for him. This refers to what is habitual or customary - his regular practice or procedure. This aligns better with Sense 1, which emphasizes "in accordance with regular practice or procedure."

Sense 2 is more about things that are commonly encountered in general (like a common complaint), not necessarily tied to a specific person's habitual behavior.

So Sense 1 is the better fit.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "sit"
    *   Target surface form: "sitting" (present participle/progressive aspect)
    *   Context sentence: "He had been <t>sitting</t> in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   Broader context: The character (Phil Haney) is in a bar. He is drinking bourbon. He is at a table. He is trying to be alone.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `sit%2:35:00::` | definition=be seated | synonyms=sit down.
        *   Meaning: To rest with the torso upright and the buttocks supported by a surface (like a chair).
        *   Fit: This is the core physical action described. He is at a table, implying he is seated on a chair/stool.

    *   **Sense 2:** `sit%2:42:00::` | definition=be around, often idly or without specific purpose | synonyms=sit around | examples=The object sat in the corner; We sat around chatting for another hour.
        *   Meaning: Loitering, hanging out.
        *   Fit: While he is "hanging out" in a bar, the specific construction "sitting in the usual corner" emphasizes the posture/location relative to the furniture (table), not just the act of loitering itself, although there is overlap. However, sense 1 is the fundamental physical state. "Sit around" usually implies a group or a lack of purpose, whereas he has a "ritual" and is trying to avoid people.

    *   **Sense 3:** `sit%2:38:00::` | definition=take a seat | synonyms=sit down.
        *   Meaning: The action of moving from standing to sitting.
        *   Fit: The text says "He had been sitting". The past perfect progressive indicates a continuous state, not the punctual action of sitting down. So this is incorrect.

    *   **Sense 4:** `sit%2:38:01::` | definition=be in session | examples=When does the court of law sit?
        *   Fit: Context is a bar, not a court or legislative body. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 5:** `sit%2:39:00::` | definition=assume a posture as for artistic purposes | synonyms=model, pose, posture.
        *   Fit: Not an art class. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 6:** `sit%2:38:03::` | definition=sit and travel on the back of animal...
        *   Fit: Not riding a horse. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 7:** `sit%2:42:05::` | definition=be located or situated somewhere | examples=The White House sits on Pennsylvania Avenue.
        *   Fit: This usually applies to buildings or inanimate objects. Sometimes used for people in a specific location, but Sense 1 (postural) is primary for humans in a bar.

    *   **Sense 8:** `sit%2:41:05::` | definition=work or act as a baby-sitter.
        *   Fit: Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 9:** `sit%2:35:01::` | definition=show to a seat; assign a seat for.
        *   Fit: Causative. He wasn't seating someone else. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 10:** `sit%2:33:00::` | definition=serve in a specific professional capacity.
        *   Fit: Not sitting on a jury or for confession. Incorrect.

3.  **Refine choice between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 ("be seated") describes the physical posture.
    *   Sense 2 ("sit around") implies idleness.
    *   The phrase is "sitting in the usual corner at the little table".
    *   If someone says "I am sitting at a table", they are describing their physical state (Sense 1).
    *   If someone says "I am sitting around doing nothing", that is Sense 2.
    *   The context mentions he was "enjoying the weekly ritual". He is purposefully drinking. While he is staying in a place, the primary definition of "sit" in "sitting at a table" is the state of being seated.
    *   WordNet 3.0 hierarchy often distinguishes between the stative "be seated" (Sense 1) and the motion "sit down" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's check the definitions again.
    *   Sense 1: "be seated".
    *   Sense 2: "be around, often idly...".
    *   The syntax "sitting in the corner" fits Sense 1 best. It denotes the position/posture. He is not just "sitting around" (loitering); he is stationed at a specific spot (the corner table) performing a ritual.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice for the physical state of a person resting on a seat.

4.  **Final verification:**
    *   Context: Man at a bar, at a table.
    *   Word: "sitting".
    *   Definition match: "be seated".
    *   Sense 1 matches the physical description of a person in a chair/seat.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Target word: "usual" (used as an adjective modifying "corner").
    *   Sentence: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table..."
    *   Broader context: Phil Haney is in a bar on a Saturday night. It's two weeks later, same bar. He has a "usual corner." This implies a habit, a routine, or a specific location he frequents or occupies regularly.
    *   The context emphasizes recurrence ("recurrent, annoying dream", "same bar", "two weeks later", "weekly ritual").

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `usual%3:00:00::`
        *   Definition: "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure"
        *   Examples: "grew the usual vegetables", "the usual summer heat"
        *   Key idea: Regularity, established practice, routine. Something happens because it's the standard or habitual way of things.

    *   **Sense 2:** `usual%5:00:00:familiar:02`
        *   Definition: "commonly encountered"
        *   Synonyms: "common"
        *   Examples: "a common (or familiar) complaint", "the usual greeting"
        *   Key idea: "Common" or "familiar" in a general sense, widespread. Often implies something mundane or ordinary rather than specifically tied to a specific individual's habit in a specific location (though there is overlap). This sense is mapped to adj.all (familiar).

3.  **Evaluate the fit:**

    *   "Usual corner": Does this mean a corner that is commonly encountered by anyone (common/familiar)? Or does it mean the corner Haney habitually sits in (accordance with regular practice)?
    *   The text says: "It was the same bar... weekly ritual... usual corner."
    *   Haney has a "weekly ritual." He sits there habitually.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on "regular practice or procedure." Haney's choice of corner is part of his regular practice/procedure.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on "commonly encountered" generally (like a common cold or a usual greeting standard in a culture). While his corner might be familiar to him, the usage "his usual corner" or "the usual corner" in the context of a specific character's routine aligns much better with Sense 1's definition of "accordance with regular practice."

    *   Let's check WordNet hierarchy.
        *   Sense 1 is the most frequent and standard definition (habitual/customary).
        *   Sense 2 relates to "familiar" or "common".
    *   When someone says "my usual seat" or "the usual corner", they mean the one they *always* use (regular practice), not necessarily one that is "common" in the sense of being widespread or mundane generally (though it can be both). However, the primary meaning here is the habitual nature relative to the subject.
    *   Definition 1 explicitly mentions "regular practice". The context mentions "weekly ritual". This is a strong match.

4.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   Sense 1 covers habitual action/location ("regular practice").
    *   Sense 2 covers things that are common/familiar generally.
    *   "The usual corner" refers to the specific corner Haney habitually occupies. This fits "accordance with regular practice".

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

5.  **Format Output:**
    *   JSON object required: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: `corner`.
    *   Context snippet: "He had been sitting in the usual <t>corner</t> at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   Key details: The character (Phil Haney) is in a bar. He is sitting at a "little table" located in this "corner". He wants to be away from people ("as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes"). This implies an enclosed, sheltered space within a room, likely defined by two walls meeting.

2.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1: corner%1:15:02::** | definition="a place off to the side of an area" | examples="he tripled to the rightfield corner".
        *   This is plausible. A corner in a bar is off to the side. However, does it capture the interior nature of the space implied by sitting at a table against walls? Usually, "corner" in a room implies the interior angle formed by walls. This sense seems more spatial/geographic or sports-related (field corners).

    *   **Sense 2: corner%1:15:00::** | definition="the point where two lines meet or intersect" | examples="the corners of a rectangle".
        *   This is geometric. While a room has corners, the context refers to the *location* where he is sitting ("sitting in the usual corner"), not just a geometric point on a 2D shape. You sit *in* a corner (noun), not usually "in" a geometric point of intersection in an abstract sense.

    *   **Sense 3: corner%1:06:02::** | definition="an interior angle formed by two meeting walls" | synonyms="nook" | examples="a piano was in one corner of the room".
        *   This matches perfectly.
            *   Context: Bar (room).
            *   Action: Sitting at a little table.
            *   Goal: Seclusion (away from people).
            *   Preposition: "in" the corner.
            *   Synonym "nook" fits the vibe of a secluded spot.
            *   Example "a piano was in one corner of the room" is structurally identical to "sitting in the usual corner [of the bar]".

    *   **Sense 4: corner%1:06:00::** | definition="the intersection of two streets" | synonyms="street corner, turning point".
        *   He is inside a bar, not at a street intersection.

    *   **Sense 5: corner%1:15:01::** | definition="the point where three areas or surfaces meet or intersect".
        *   Usually refers to 3D objects (like a cube). Not the standard way to describe a seating area in a room.

    *   **Sense 6: corner%1:25:00::** | definition="a small concavity" | synonyms="recess, recession, niche".
        *   "Niche" or "recess" could be metaphorical, but Sense 3 is specifically about walls in a room. A corner in a bar is defined by walls. Sense 6 is often biological (a recess in an organ) or a specific architectural indentation (alcove), whereas Sense 3 captures the standard corner of a room.

    *   **Sense 7: corner%1:26:00::** | definition="a temporary monopoly...".
        *   Economic context. Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 8: corner%1:26:01::** | definition="a predicament...".
        *   Metaphorical usage ("tight corner"). The text uses "corner" literally as a location in the bar.

    *   **Sense 9: corner%1:17:00::** | definition="a projecting part where two sides or edges meet".
        *   This refers to an exterior corner (sticking out), not an interior space where one sits.

    *   **Sense 10: corner%1:15:03::** | definition="a remote area".
        *   Usually refers to regions ("corners of the world"). Too broad for a specific spot in a bar.

    *   **Sense 11: corner%1:06:01::** | definition="(architecture) solid exterior angle...".
        *   Architectural feature (quoin). Not the location inside.

3.  **Refine the choice:**
    The choice is clearly between Sense 1 ("a place off to the side") and Sense 3 ("an interior angle formed by two meeting walls").
    Sense 1 is very general. Sense 3 is specific to rooms and walls. The text describes a bar and implies he is using the walls to shield himself from "lushes" or just defining his specific spot in the room ("sitting in the usual corner"). The example for Sense 3 ("a piano was in one corner of the room") is the closest semantic match to "sitting in the usual corner [of the bar]". Therefore, Sense 3 is the precise fit.

4.  **Format the output:**
    Return `{"sense_index": 3}`.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: little
    *   Target surface form: little
    *   Context snippet: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the <t>little</t> table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   Grammatical function: Adjective modifying "table".
    *   Meaning in context: The table is physically small in size. The narrator is describing the physical dimensions of the table. It's a table for one (implied by "sitting... at the little table" and the desire to avoid others).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `little%3:00:01::` | definition="limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" | synonyms=small | examples="a little dining room; a little house".
        *   *Analysis:* This sense refers to physical size (magnitude/extent). A "little table" fits perfectly here. It corresponds to the general sense of "small size".

    *   **Sense 2:** `little%3:00:03::` | definition="(quantifier used with mass nouns) small in quantity or degree..." | synonyms=slight | examples="little rain fell in May...".
        *   *Analysis:* This is a quantifier sense (e.g., "a little water", "little hope"). "Table" is a count noun, not a mass noun, and "little" here is an attributive adjective describing size, not a quantifier of amount.

    *   **Sense 3:** `little%5:00:00:young:00` | definition="(of children and animals) young, immature" | synonyms=small.
        *   *Analysis:* Refers to age/maturity. A table is inanimate. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 4:** `little%5:00:00:unimportant:00` | definition="(informal) small and of little importance" | synonyms=fiddling, footling...
        *   *Analysis:* Refers to importance (e.g., "a little problem"). While a small table might be unimportant, the primary meaning in "little table" is physical dimensions. The gloss "small and of little importance" usually applies to abstract things or events (like "a fiddling sum of money"), not usually physical objects like furniture in a spatial description.

    *   **Sense 5:** `little%5:00:00:soft:04` | definition="(of a voice) faint".
        *   *Analysis:* Refers to sound volume. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 6:** `little%3:00:00::` | definition="low in stature; not tall" | synonyms=short.
        *   *Analysis:* This sense usually applies to people (height). While a table can be short, "little" in the context of furniture usually implies overall small size (surface area + height) rather than just vertical shortness. Sense 1 covers "magnitude or extent" which covers general size better than "low in stature" which is specific to height (often human height).

    *   **Sense 7:** `little%5:00:00:lowercase:00` | definition="lowercase".
        *   *Analysis:* Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 8:** `little%5:00:00:emotional:00` | definition="small in a way that arouses feelings...".
        *   *Analysis:* This is often condescending or affectionate (e.g., "bless your little heart"). While "little" can have subjective shading, here it's describing a physical table in a bar. The primary descriptor is physical size.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 6:**
    *   Sense 6 ("low in stature; not tall") usually maps to "short". Synonyms listed are "short".
    *   Sense 1 ("limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent") maps to "small". Synonyms listed are "small".
    *   "Little table" is synonymous with "small table". It implies the table doesn't take up much space (magnitude/extent).
    *   Sense 1 is the standard definition for physical size of objects (like "little house", "little dining room").

4.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   Sense 1 fits best. It describes the physical size of an object (the table). The definition "limited... in magnitude or extent" matches "small table".

5.  **Format the output:**
    *   JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: table
    *   Target surface form: table
    *   Context: A man (Phil Haney) is in a bar. He is sitting in a corner at a "little table". The setting implies a piece of furniture where one sits, likely drinking alone ("as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes").

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1 (table%1:14:00::): Definition="a set of data arranged in rows and columns". Example="see table 1". This refers to data charts. Incorrect for a physical object in a bar.
    *   Sense 2 (table%1:06:01::): Definition="a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs". Example="it was a sturdy table". This fits the physical description of furniture found in a bar where someone sits.
    *   Sense 3 (table%1:06:02::): Definition="a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it". Example="I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant". While related to furniture, the specific gloss focuses on the table *being set for a meal* or the concept of a reserved dining spot. The context mentions "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon", not a meal. He is sitting *at* a table, but the physical object definition (Sense 2) is the primary hypernym, whereas Sense 3 implies a specific state (set for a meal) or a metonymy for the dining party/spot. Sense 2 is the general furniture sense which applies to a table in a bar where one sits to drink.
    *   Sense 4 (table%1:17:00::): Definition="flat tableland with steep edges". Synonym="mesa". This is a geological feature. Incorrect.
    *   Sense 5 (table%1:17:00:: - wait, the input has a duplicate sense number? Let's look at the keys. Sense 5 key is table%1:13:01::? No, looking at the input list provided in the prompt:

        *   Sense 4: mesa.
        *   Sense 5: company of people assembled. (Definition: a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game). The target is the physical object he is sitting at ("sitting... at the little table"), not a group of people.
        *   Sense 6: food/meals (synonym: board). Incorrect.

3.  **Differentiate between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 2 is the generic definition of the physical object (furniture).
    *   Sense 3 is often used for "dining table" or the specific instance of a table laid for eating ("I reserved a table").
    *   Context: "sitting in the usual corner at the little table".
    *   Activity: Drinking bourbon.
    *   Descriptors: "little table".
    *   Is the focus on the meal/tableware? No. It is on the physical location/object he is sitting at.
    *   Sense 2 defines the object itself ("a piece of furniture..."). Sense 3 defines a specific setup ("with tableware... laid out"). Since there is no mention of a meal or tableware, and he is in a bar drinking, Sense 2 (the physical furniture) is the most accurate fit.

4.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

5.  **Formatting:** Return JSON `{"sense_index": 2}`.

1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   **Target lemma:** talkative
    *   **Target surface form:** talkative
    *   **Context snippet:** "...sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   **Key phrase:** "talkative, friendly lushes".
    *   **Character:** Phil Haney (implied).
    *   **Situation:** He is in a bar, drinking heavily ("tight", "drink heavier than usual"). He wants to be alone or at least undisturbed by unwanted social interaction ("as far as possible from...").
    *   **Modifiers:** "talkative" is coordinated with "friendly". The noun is "lushes" (drunkards/heavy drinkers).

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `talkative%5:00:00:voluble:00`
        *   **Definition:** full of trivial conversation
        *   **Synonyms:** chatty, gabby, garrulous, loquacious, talky
        *   **Examples:** kept from her housework by gabby neighbors
        *   **Nuance:** Focuses on the *quantity* and *triviality* of the speech. It implies verbosity and perhaps annoyance to the listener (like the "gabby neighbors"). This fits well with someone wanting to avoid "lushes" who won't shut up.

    *   **Sense 2:** `talkative%5:00:00:indiscreet:00`
        *   **Definition:** unwisely talking too much
        *   **Synonyms:** bigmouthed, blabbermouthed, blabby
        *   **Nuance:** Focuses on *revealing secrets* or indiscretion. There is no indication in the context that these lushes are spilling secrets or being indiscreet, just that they are friendly and talkative, which Haney wants to avoid. "Bigmouthed" doesn't fit the "friendly" modifier well (one can be a bigmouth and friendly, but usually "indiscreet" is the defining trait).

    *   **Sense 3:** `talkative%5:00:00:communicative:00`
        *   **Definition:** friendly and open and willing to talk
        *   **Synonyms:** expansive
        *   **Examples:** wine made the guest expansive
        *   **Nuance:** Focuses on the *social openness* and friendliness. The context explicitly uses the word "friendly" right next to "talkative". The example "wine made the guest expansive" aligns perfectly with the bar setting where alcohol ("lushes") is involved. The lushes are drunk, friendly, and want to talk. Haney wants to avoid them.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 (The main contenders):**

    *   *Sense 1 (Voluble/Chatty):* Emphasizes triviality and volume.
    *   *Sense 3 (Expansive/Communicative):* Emphasizes friendliness and openness.

    Let's look at the phrase again: "talkative, friendly lushes".
    The coordination with "friendly" strongly suggests that "talkative" here is a positive or neutral social trait perceived by the lushes themselves (or generally), but annoying to Haney in his specific mood (he's "tight" and nursing a "pet grievance").

    If we look at the WordNet hierarchy/structure:
    Sense 3 (`talkative%5:00:00:communicative:00`) is defined as "friendly and open and willing to talk". The synonym "expansive" is very specific to the effect of alcohol making someone sociable/talkative.
    The context involves "lushes" (drunkards) in a bar. Alcohol often makes people "expansive".
    The example for Sense 3 is "wine made the guest expansive". This maps almost perfectly to "alcohol makes the lushes talkative/friendly".

    Sense 1 (`talkative%5:00:00:voluble:00`) is defined as "full of trivial conversation". While "gabby neighbors" are annoying, the defining feature of the lushes here isn't just that they talk trivially, but that they are sociable in a way Haney finds intrusive. However, the coordination "talkative, friendly" is the key.
    Usually, when two adjectives are coordinated like this, they support each other.
    If Sense 3's definition includes "friendly and open", using "friendly" as a separate adjective suggests the "talkative" part carries specific weight or refers to the volume/act of talking.

    However, let's look at the definition of Sense 3 again: "friendly and open and willing to talk".
    The text says: "talkative, friendly lushes".
    If I choose Sense 3, the definition overlaps with the word "friendly" in the text.
    If I choose Sense 1, the definition "full of trivial conversation" adds specific detail (triviality/quantity) that isn't covered by the word "friendly".

    *Counter-argument for Sense 1:* Haney is trying to get away from them. "Trivial conversation" is something people try to escape. Sense 3 implies a willingness to communicate, which is a positive social trait. While Haney avoids them, the lushes' behavior is typical "drunk friendliness".

    Let's check the examples and synonyms closer.
    Sense 1 synonyms: chatty, gabby, garrulous. These are often used with a slight negative connotation of "too much talk".
    Sense 3 synonyms: expansive. "Expansive" is defined as "friendly and open and willing to talk" (WordNet). The example "wine made the guest expansive" is the clincher for the alcohol context.

    Context: "lushes" = heavy drinkers.
    Effect of drinking: expansiveness (Sense 3).
    Text: "talkative, friendly lushes".
    Sense 3 definition: "friendly and open and willing to talk".
    The synonym "expansive" for Sense 3 is the standard term for alcohol-induced talkativeness.
    Even though "friendly" is in the text, "talkative" here captures the specific sociability induced by alcohol, which corresponds to the "expansive" sense.

    Let's reconsider Sense 1. "Chatty/Gabby" lushes.
    Sense 1 definition: "full of trivial conversation".
    Sense 3 definition: "friendly and open and willing to talk".

    Which fits "lushes" better? Drunks are usually "expansive" (Sense 3) or "gabby" (Sense 1)?
    In a bar context, "friendly and open" (Sense 3) fits the description of a lush who wants to be everyone's friend. Haney is avoiding "friendly" people. He wants to sulk ("washing down his pet grievance"). He doesn't want happy, expansive people around.
    Sense 1 ("full of trivial conversation") fits too, but the "friendly" adjective in the source text pairs better with the definition of Sense 3 ("friendly and open"). The fact that the text *also* says "friendly" creates a pleonasm if we strictly stick to Sense 3's definition, but "expansive" is the distinct synonym for alcohol-induced talkativeness.

    Let's look at the overlap.
    Text: "talkative, friendly"
    Sense 3 Def: "friendly and open..."
    Sense 1 Def: "full of trivial conversation"

    If "talkative" meant "friendly and open" (Sense 3), the author might have just written "expansive" or just "talkative". By adding "friendly", the author distinguishes the two.
    However, WordNet Sense 3 is specifically for the "expansive" meaning.
    "Expansive" = (of a person or their behavior) characterized by a high degree of expansiveness; open, demonstrative, communicative.
    The example for Sense 3: "wine made the guest expansive".
    This maps perfectly to the "lushes" (drunk people) in the text.
    The lushes are talkative because they are drunk.
    Therefore, Sense 3 is the specialized sense for alcohol-induced sociability.

    Let's verify Sense 1 again. "Gabby neighbors".
    Haney wants to avoid them. Why? Because he is "tight" and wants to be alone with his grievance.
    If the lushes were just "chatty" (Sense 1), they are annoying because they talk too much.
    If the lushes are "expansive" (Sense 3), they are annoying because they want to be friends.
    The text says: "talkative, friendly lushes".
    The combination suggests they are being sociable.
    WordNet Sense 3 captures the social aspect better than Sense 1 (which focuses on the triviality/volume).
    Furthermore, "expansive" is a synonym for Sense 3. "Expansive" is defined as "friendly and open and willing to talk".
    If "talkative" is synonymous with "expansive" in this context, it refers to the alcohol-induced sociability.

    Let's check the breakdown:
    Sense 1: talkative -> chatty, gabby. Focus: Talk too much (trivial).
    Sense 2: talkative -> bigmouthed. Focus: Secrets.
    Sense 3: talkative -> expansive. Focus: Social openness, willingness to talk (often due to alcohol).

    Context cues: "lushes" (drunkards), "bar", "tight".
    Alcohol cue -> "expansive" -> Sense 3.

    Let's double check if there is any reason to pick Sense 1.
    Haney sits "as far as possible". He wants to avoid them.
    Is he avoiding them because they are "trivial" or because they are "friendly/expansive"?
    He is nursing a grievance. Friendly people are intrusive to that.
    But "chatty" people are also intrusive.
    However, the "friendly" modifier in the text aligns with Sense 3's definition "friendly and open".
    Why would the author use "talkative, friendly" if Sense 3's definition includes "friendly"?
    Often authors use synonyms for emphasis. "He was talkative, friendly."
    But look at the synonym "expansive". This is the specific word for this context.
    The example "wine made the guest expansive" confirms Sense 3 is the sense related to alcohol.
    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit for "lushes" in a bar.

    Decision: Sense 3.
    Reasoning: The presence of "lushes" (heavy drinkers) and the bar context strongly invokes the synonym "expansive" and the example provided in Sense 3 ("wine made the guest expansive"). The definition "friendly and open and willing to talk" matches the coordination "talkative, friendly" in the text.

    Wait, let me re-evaluate the coordination.
    If Sense 3 definition *is* "friendly and open...", then "talkative, friendly" acts as a hendiadys or simply supports the "expansive" meaning.
    If I choose Sense 1 ("full of trivial conversation"), the "friendly" is a separate adjective.
    Which is more likely?
    A "talkative, friendly lush".
    Is the lush "trivial" or "sociable"?
    Lushes are notoriously sociable and expansive when drunk.
    Sense 3 captures the specific "alcohol + talk" semantic link via the example and synonym "expansive".
    Sense 1 is generic "talks too much".
    Sense 3 is specific "talks because they are open/friendly (often alcohol-induced)".
    Given the specific lexical field of alcohol ("bar", "tight", "lushes", "bourbon"), Sense 3 is the contextually richer and more accurate fit.

    Final check:
    Sense 1: voluble. Synonyms: garrulous.
    Sense 3: communicative. Synonyms: expansive.
    Context: Bar, lushes.
    Matching Sense 3.

    *   Sentence: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   Situation: Phil Haney is in a bar, drinking heavily. He wants to be alone with his grievances ("washing down his pet grievance").
    *   Target phrase: "talkative, friendly lushes" (lushes = drunkards).
    *   Haney's attitude: He wants to avoid these people. They are "talkative" and "friendly".
    *   Semantics of the adjective here: These lushes are trying to engage with him, chatting, being sociable, perhaps intrusive in their drunken affability. It describes a social demeanor—outgoing, approachable, seeking connection.
3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `friendly%3:00:01::` | definition=characteristic of or befitting a friend | examples=friendly advice; a friendly neighborhood.
        *   This is a very general sense. It often implies warmth, affection, or the quality of a friendship. It fits well with people who are acting sociable or amiable.
    *   **Sense 2:** `friendly%5:00:00:amicable:00` | definition=inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile | synonyms=favorable, well-disposed | examples=a government friendly to our interests; an amicable agreement.
        *   This sense leans more toward alliance, support, or lack of hostility (often in political or formal contexts, or interpersonal conflict resolution). While the lushes aren't hostile, "friendly" here doesn't mean "supportive of interests"; it means "chatty/sociable". "Amicable" is a synonym here, but usually implies a peaceable state rather than the specific behavior of a drunk person trying to be pals.
    *   **Sense 3:** `friendly%3:00:03::` | definition=easy to understand or use | examples=user-friendly computers.
        *   Incorrect. The lushes are not "user-friendly devices".
    *   **Sense 4:** `friendly%3:00:02::` | definition=of or belonging to your own country's forces or those of an ally | examples=friendly fire.
        *   Incorrect. Military context.
4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 ("characteristic of or befitting a friend") is the standard adjectival use for someone acting like a friend or being sociable. Examples: "friendly advice", "friendly neighborhood".
    *   Sense 2 ("inclined to help or support; not antagonistic") focuses on the absence of hostility or presence of supportiveness.
    *   In the context of "talkative, friendly lushes", the lushes are trying to be social and interact with Haney. Haney finds this annoying. "Friendly" here contrasts with "hostile" or "aloof" in a social manner. They are acting like they want to be friends (chatty, amiable).
    *   Let's look at WordNet (or Princeton WordNet) structure.
        *   Sense 1 usually covers "characteristic of a friend" (kind, affectionate, sociable).
        *   Sense 2 usually covers "favorable" or "not hostile" (amicable).
    *   The context implies the lushes are being sociable/chatty. Haney avoids them. This fits the "sociable/characteristic of a friend" vibe. The lushes aren't necessarily "helping" (Sense 2), they are just being chatty/sociable.
    *   Is there a specific sense for "sociable"? WordNet often maps "sociable" to the general "friendly" sense (Sense 1) or treats them as synonyms in that specific usage. In many WordNet versions, the first sense ("characteristic of or befitting a friend") is the hypernym for general friendliness, covering amiable, sociable behavior.
    *   Let's look closer at the examples.
        *   Sense 1 examples: "friendly advice", "friendly neighborhood".
        *   Sense 2 examples: "government friendly to our interests", "amicable agreement".
    *   The context is interpersonal behavior in a bar. The lushes are being "friendly" in the sense of seeking social interaction. This aligns best with the definition "characteristic of or befitting a friend" (acting in a manner of a friend would act, i.e., sociable, open). Sense 2 is slightly too formal or oriented toward "beneficial/supportive" rather than just "sociable/chatty". Although Sense 2 has "amicable" as a synonym, "amicable" often refers to relationships or arrangements (amicable divorce, amicable agreement). "Friendly" applied to a drunk person usually means they are affectionately sociable. This fits Sense 1.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the broad, general sense covering interpersonal warmth and sociability. Sense 2 is more specific to non-hostility or alliance (often abstract). The lushes are exhibiting the behavior of a friend (sociability), which is Sense 1.

    *   Check: If a person is "friendly", are they "characteristic of a friend"? Yes.
    *   Check: If a person is "friendly", are they "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic"? Yes, but this definition misses the active sociability/chattiness implied by "talkative". Sense 1 captures the behavior; Sense 2 captures the stance. "Talkative" modifies "friendly", suggesting the active nature of the friendliness. The active nature fits "characteristic of a friend" better than "not antagonistic".

    Therefore, index 1 is the correct choice.

Target lemma: enjoy
Target surface form: enjoying
Context:
It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was <t>enjoying</t> the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   **Target lemma:** enjoy
    *   **Target surface form:** enjoying
    *   **Context:** Haney is sitting in a bar, drinking heavily (bourbon moistened with water) while thinking about a "pet grievance." He is described as "tight" (drunk) and trying to avoid friendly people. The sentence is: "He was <t>enjoying</t> the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon..."
    *   **Nuance:** The context suggests a somewhat dark or ironic pleasure. He is drinking alone, nursing a grievance (complaint/resentment). Is he actually "taking delight" or "receiving pleasure"? Yes, the text says he was "enjoying" it, but it's described as a ritual of wallowing in a grievance. This fits the general meaning of deriving pleasure/satisfaction, even if the source of that pleasure (nursing a grievance) is negative or self-destructive.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `enjoy%2:37:00::` | definition=derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in | synonyms=bask, relish, savor, savour | examples=She relished her fame and basked in her glory.
        *   *Analysis:* This is a very standard, core definition of "enjoy." It involves deriving pleasure. The context shows Haney is engaging in a ritual that satisfies him (washing down a grievance). He is actively doing it. "Relishing" a grievance or "savoring" the ritual fits well here.

    *   **Sense 2:** `enjoy%2:34:01::` | definition=have benefit from | examples=enjoy privileges.
        *   *Analysis:* This is usually about rights or privileges (e.g., "enjoy good health," "enjoy the benefits of citizenship"). Haney is not receiving a benefit or privilege here; he's doing an action.

    *   **Sense 3:** `enjoy%2:37:01::` | definition=get pleasure from | synonyms=love | examples=I love cooking.
        *   *Analysis:* This is close to Sense 1 but often implies a general affection for an activity (like "I enjoy cooking"). While Haney is doing an activity, the synonyms "bask, relish, savor" in Sense 1 capture the specific nuance of "savoring" a moment or experience better than just "love." Sense 1's examples (relishing fame) align slightly better with "relishing" a ritual/grievance than the generic "I love cooking" example in Sense 3. In WordNet hierarchies, Sense 1 is often the primary entry for the emotional experience of enjoyment. Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 closer. Sense 1 includes "derive or receive pleasure from." Sense 3 is "get pleasure from" with synonym "love". Sense 1 seems more specific to the *act* of experiencing pleasure from something specific (the ritual), whereas Sense 3 often feels like a state of preferring something. However, WordNet sense divisions can be subtle.
        *   *Comparison:* Sense 1 (bask, relish, savor) vs Sense 3 (love). Haney is *savoring* the ritual. He is taking pleasure in it. Sense 1 feels more appropriate for the "ritual" and "washing down grievance" context. It implies a process of enjoyment.

    *   **Sense 4:** `enjoy%2:39:00::` | definition=have for one's benefit | examples=The industry enjoyed a boom.
        *   *Analysis:* This is distinctively for situations or things happening *to* a subject that benefit them (e.g., a boom, success). It doesn't fit an agent actively doing a ritual.

    *   **Sense 5:** `enjoy%2:34:00::` | definition=take delight in | synonyms=delight, revel | examples=he delights in his granddaughter.
        *   *Analysis:* This implies a strong, often active or conspicuous delight. "Revel" or "delight" might be too strong or positive for Haney's gloomy state. "Reveling" suggests celebration. Haney is wallowing. Sense 1 (relish, savor) fits the nuance of "nursing" or savoring a specific experience (even a negative one like a grievance) better than "delighting" in it. Sense 1 is the general sense of "taking pleasure in an activity/experience."

3.  **Refining the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1: `enjoy%2:37:00::`. Synonyms: bask, relish, savor, savour.
    *   Sense 3: `enjoy%2:37:01::`. Synonyms: love.
    *   Context: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual..."
    *   He is taking pleasure from an experience/ritual. The synonyms in Sense 1 (relish, savor) describe the act of enjoying an experience much better than the synonym "love" in Sense 3 (which usually maps to liking something generally). The definition "derive or receive pleasure from" in Sense 1 is the standard definition for the transitive verb usage in this context.

    *   Let's check WordNet 3.1 structure if possible (mentally):
        *   03595718 v (enjoy): derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in; "She relished her fame and basked in her glory" (Sense 1 here).
        *   01117098 v (love): have a great affection or liking for; "I love cooking" (mapped to Sense 3 here).
    *   The context "He was enjoying the weekly ritual" is about deriving pleasure from the specific instance of the ritual. He is *savoring* the moment (even if it's a dark moment). Therefore, Sense 1 is the precise fit.

4.  **Final Check:**
    *   Sense 1 fits "derive pleasure from".
    *   Sentence: He was enjoying the ritual.
    *   Meaning: He was deriving pleasure from the ritual.
    *   Synonyms: Relish, savor.
    *   Does he "have benefit from" (Sense 2/4)? No.
    *   Does he "love" (Sense 3)? A bit weak, "love" is usually stative, "enjoying" here is progressive active experience.
    *   Does he "delight/revel" (Sense 5)? A bit too intense/happy for the context of drinking over a grievance. "Relish" (Sense 1) fits the somewhat bitter/sweet or self-indulgent nature of a "pet grievance."

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.
