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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma and Surface Form:**
    *   Lemma: see
    *   Surface form: seen
    *   Context sentence: "Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had <t>seen</t> in those eyes to make him back off."

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   A truck driver is swearing at a stranger and Haney.
    *   The stranger looks squarely into the truck driver's face/eyes.
    *   The driver suddenly stops and leaves.
    *   Haney wonders *what* the driver had "seen" in the stranger's eyes.
    *   The "what" refers to the visual perception of something specific (the look in the eyes) that conveyed a message ("the sort of look that can call a bluff"). However, the act itself is visual perception. The driver looked into the eyes and perceived a look/quality.

3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**

    *   *Sense 1: see%2:39:00:: | definition=perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight | examples=You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?*
        *   This is the basic physical perception sense. The driver physically looked at the eyes and saw something (a look, a quality) in them. This fits the literal act of seeing. "What had he seen in those eyes?" implies visual perception.

    *   *Sense 2: see%2:31:01:: | definition=perceive (an idea or situation) mentally | synonyms=understand, realize, realise | examples=Now I see!; I just can't see your point*
        *   Could the driver have "understood" something in the eyes? Yes, metaphorically. But the question asks "what he had *seen* in those eyes". Usually, when we talk about seeing something *in* a physical object (like eyes), we start with physical perception, though it often implies interpretation. However, sense 2 is more about mental grasp of a concept ("Now I see"). The context focuses on the interaction involving a visual look ("looked squarely", "in those eyes").

    *   *Sense 3: see%2:39:02:: | definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | synonyms=witness, find*
        *   Witnessing usually applies to events or actions. "Seen in those eyes" doesn't fit "witness" well. You don't witness a look in eyes in the sense of being a spectator at an event. You perceive it.

    *   *Sense 4: see%2:36:00:: | definition=imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind*
        *   No, the driver actually perceived something that was there.

    *   *Sense 5: see%2:31:00:: | definition=deem to be | synonyms=consider, reckon, view, regard*
        *   Not "consider".

    *   *Sense 24: see%2:31:13:: | definition=make sense of; assign a meaning to | synonyms=interpret, construe*
        *   This is a strong contender. "What did he see in those eyes?" could mean "How did he interpret the look?". The text continues: "It must have been the sort of look..." implying the driver perceived a specific quality or message.
        *   However, let's look at Sense 1 again. Sense 1 is "perceive by sight". You see physical details. Can you "see" a "look" (an abstract quality of expression) via Sense 1? Yes, "I saw anger in his eyes." This is physical perception of an expression. Sense 24 is "interpret". While the driver likely interpreted the look, the verb "seen" combined with the preposition "in" and the object "those eyes" strongly pulls toward the visual perception of the expression. The object of "seen" is "what" (referring to the "sort of look").
        *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 24.
            *   Sense 1: I saw the bird. I saw the details. I saw the anger in his eyes. (Visual perception).
            *   Sense 24: What message do you see in this letter? (Interpretation).
            *   Context: "wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes". The "what" is later defined as "the sort of look".
            *   If I say "I saw fear in his eyes", am I interpreting or physically perceiving? I am physically perceiving the expression which signifies fear.
            *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 1 again. "perceive by sight".
            *   Let's look at Sense 24 examples. "What message do you see in this letter?"
            *   In the text, the driver is reacting to a visual stimulus. "The man... looked squarely...". The driver "stopped swearing...". He saw *something*.
            *   Sense 1 is the core, primary sense. Usually, fine-grained WSD maps "see" regarding eyes/face/expression to the visual sense unless it is explicitly about decoding a text or abstract situation (like "see the point").
            *   Here, the "what" is "the sort of look". You can "see a look". That is visual perception. Even though "look" implies a meaning, the act of seeing the look is Sense 1.

    *   Let's consider Sense 17: `see%2:39:05:: | definition=see and understand, have a good eye`. Example: "The artist must first learn to see".
        *   This mixes perception and interpretation. Does it fit better than 1? Sense 1 is general perception. Sense 17 is about having a skill or deep perception. The truck driver isn't necessarily an artist or skilled observer, he just saw a scary look.

    *   Let's consider Sense 3 again ("witness"). Does "seen" mean "witnessed"? "What did he witness in those eyes?" Doesn't sound right. You witness an event. You see a quality or object.

    *   Let's consider Sense 24 again ("interpret"). "How do you interpret his behavior?" vs "What did he see in those eyes?". The prompt asks what he *saw* (visual). The text says he "looked squarely". The object is "those eyes". The content is "what" (the look). The semantic frame is visual perception. The interpretation follows, but the "seeing" is the act of perceiving the visual signal.

    *   Let's check if there is a specific sense for "perceive by sight" involving expressions or hidden things. Sense 1 covers "perceive by sight". "Can you see the bird?" "See all the details."
    *   "Seen in those eyes" -> He perceived (visually) a look.
    *   The most basic sense usually applies unless there's a strong reason to jump to "understand" or "interpret".
    *   Compare: "I see what you mean" (Sense 2).
    *   Compare: "I see trouble ahead" (Sense 4 - imagine/predict, or Sense 1 literal if visual).
    *   Compare: "I see the point" (Sense 2).
    *   Here: "seen [a look] in those eyes".
    *   Is "a look" (expression) perceived by sight? Yes. Sense 1.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1. "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 24. "make sense of; assign a meaning to".
    *   Does "seen" here mean "interpreted" or "perceived"?
    *   The sentence says: "...wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off."
    *   Haney wonders what visual cue (the "what") was perceived.
    *   Later: "It must have been the sort of look..."
    *   You perceive a "look" visually. The *effect* of the look was to call a bluff.
    *   Therefore, the primary sense is visual perception. The interpretation is the result, but the word "seen" refers to the perception of the cue.
    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate hypernym/general sense for perceiving a visual cue/expression.

    *   Let's verify against other senses just in case.
    *   Sense 19: "observe as if with an eye". Usually metaphorical (camera).
    *   Sense 20: "examine". "I must see your passport". Not examining the eyes, but seeing something *in* them.
    *   Sense 24 examples are about text or behavior. "What message do you see in this letter?" (Text interpretation). "How do you interpret his behavior?" (Behavior interpretation).
    *   Here, the target is "in those eyes". The behavior (stopping swearing) happened *after*. The seeing happened *during* the look. "The man... looked... the driver stopped...". The seeing is the visual intake of the expression.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1.

    *   Refining the choice between 1 and 24.
    *   If I say "I see a warning in his eyes", am I interpreting? Yes, "warning" is an abstract concept.
    *   If I say "I saw the anger in his eyes", is "anger" visible? The expression is visible. Anger is the interpretation.
    *   However, WordNet Sense 1 is "perceive by sight".
    *   Sense 24 examples are "interpret his behavior", "message in this letter".
    *   The context "seen in those eyes" is deeply rooted in visual perception. The "what" refers to "the sort of look". A "look" is a visual appearance. You "see" a look. Sense 1 is the correct choice for seeing a visual appearance/expression.

    *   Checking specific WordNet usages for "see%2:39:00".
    *   "You have to be a good observer to see all the details." -> Seeing details.
    *   "Can you see the bird?" -> Seeing an object.
    *   "Seen a look" fits the pattern of seeing an object/phenomenon.
    *   Sense 24 is "interpret". While interpretation is involved, the verb "seen" combined with the concrete location "in those eyes" points to the physical perception which provided the data for the (implicit) interpretation.
    *   Also, Sense 1 is the dominant sense for physical sight.

    *   Let's consider the phrase "see the light" or "see reason". Those are metaphorical (Sense 2).
    *   "See something in someone/something".
        *   "I see potential in him." (Sense 2/5 - consider/judge).
        *   "I saw a sparkle in her eyes." (Sense 1).
    *   The text says "what ... seen in those eyes". The answer is "the sort of look".
    *   A "look" is visible. You see it with your eyes.
    *   Haney wonders what visual thing was seen.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1.

    *   Double check Sense 3 "witness".
        *   "seen in those eyes" vs "witnessed in those eyes".
        *   Usually "witness" is for events. You witness a crime. You don't witness a look in someone's eyes. You perceive it.

    *   Decision: Sense 1. It denotes the basic act of visual perception. The truck driver visually perceived the "look" in the stranger's eyes.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a situation where a man looked squarely into a truck driver's face, and the truck driver stopped swearing and backed off. The narrator wonders what the truck driver had seen "in those eyes" to make him back off. "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."

The target word is "eyes", referring to the physical organs of sight, specifically the look or expression in them. The truck driver saw something *in those eyes*.
Sense 1: the organ of sight. This fits because "eyes" here refers to the physical eyes of the man.
Sense 2: good discernment. Doesn't fit ("seen in those good discernments" makes no sense).
Sense 3: attention to what is seen. Doesn't fit.
Sense 4: center/heart. Doesn't fit.
Sense 5: small hole or loop. Doesn't fit.

The word "eyes" here clearly refers to the physical organs of sight, even though the context is about the expression in them. Sense 1 is the only one that fits the literal meaning of "eyes".

The target word is "make" in the context: "Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to <t>make</t> him back off."

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence is about what the truck driver saw in those eyes that caused him to back off.
- "make him back off" means "cause him to back off"
- This is a causative construction where "make" is used to indicate that something (the look in those eyes) caused the truck driver to back off.

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. make%2:41:00:: | engage in - Not about causing someone to do something
2. make%2:30:00:: | give certain properties to something - Not quite right
3. make%2:36:00:: | make or cause to be or to become - Close, but not exactly
4. make%2:32:00:: | cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner - This fits! The examples "The ads induced me to buy a VCR" and "My children finally got me to buy a computer" show causative constructions similar to "make him back off"
5. make%2:36:08:: | give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally - Similar but focuses more on events than actions
6. make%2:36:01:: | create or manufacture a man-made product - Not applicable
7. make%2:31:00:: | make, formulate, or derive in the mind - Not applicable
8. make%2:36:15:: | compel or make somebody or something to act in a certain way - This is also very close! Examples: "People cannot be made to integrate just by passing a law!; Heat makes you sweat"

Both sense 4 and sense 8 seem relevant. Let me compare them more carefully:

Sense 4 (make%2:32:00): "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" with synonyms "induce, stimulate, cause, have, get" and examples "The ads induced me to buy a VCR; My children finally got me to buy a computer"

Sense 8 (make%2:36:15): "compel or make somebody or something to act in a certain way" with examples "People cannot be made to integrate just by passing a law!; Heat makes you sweat"

The key difference is that sense 4 emphasizes "cause to do" with synonyms like "induce, stimulate" while sense 8 emphasizes "compel" - a stronger form of causation.

In the context, "what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off" - the look in the eyes caused/compelled the truck driver to back off. This is about causing someone to take an action (back off).

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 4: "The ads induced me to buy a VCR" - This is very similar to "make him back off" - causing someone to do something.
- Sense 8: "Heat makes you sweat" - This is more about involuntary reactions.

The construction "make [someone] [do something]" is a classic causative construction. "Make him back off" fits this pattern perfectly.

I think sense 4 is the best fit because:
1. The structure "make [someone] [verb]" matches the examples
2. The meaning "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" exactly captures what's happening - the look caused the truck driver to back off
3. The synonyms "induce, stimulate, cause, have, get" align with this interpretation

Sense 8 could also work but seems more focused on compulsion, which might be too strong. The truck driver wasn't physically compelled; he was psychologically influenced/caused to back off.

I'll go with sense 4.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context**: The target word is "sort" in the phrase "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word." The sentence describes a specific type or kind of look (expression in someone's eyes/face) that has a specific power (calling a bluff).

2.  **Analyze the candidates**:
    *   **Sense 1**: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality". Synonyms: kind, form, variety. Examples: "sculpture is a form of art", "what kinds of desserts are there?".
        *   *Fit*: This fits well. "Sort of look" means a "kind of look" or a "category of look". The look is distinguished by its ability to call a bluff.
    *   **Sense 2**: "an approximate definition or example". Examples: "she wore a sort of magenta dress", "she served a creamy sort of dessert thing".
        *   *Fit*: This sense implies vagueness or approximation (e.g., "sort of magenta" = approximately magenta). In the context "the sort of look", it's referring to a specific *type* or *class* of look, not just approximating what the look was. It's identifying the nature of the look, not wavering on its description.
    *   **Sense 3**: "a person of a particular character or nature". Examples: "what sort of person is he?", "he's a good sort".
        *   *Fit*: This refers to a person. The context refers to a "look" (facial expression), not a person.
    *   **Sense 4**: "an operation that segregates items into groups". Synonyms: sorting.
        *   *Fit*: This refers to an action/process (sorting). The context uses "sort" as a noun describing a type/category.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2**:
    *   Sense 1 is the general "kind/type/category" meaning.
    *   Sense 2 is the "somewhat/resembling/approximate" meaning (often used when the speaker is unsure or being non-committal).
    *   The context "It must have been the *sort* of look that can call a bluff" is defining a category of look. It isn't saying "it was a sort of look" (implying it wasn't quite a real look). It is saying "it was the [type] of look". Synonyms from Sense 1 (kind, variety) fit perfectly here: "It must have been the *kind* of look..."

4.  **Conclusion**: Sense 1 is the correct definition. It refers to a category or type of thing (in this case, a facial expression).

5.  **Formulate Output**: JSON object with sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Sentence: "It must have been the sort of <t>look</t> that can call a bluff without saying a word."
    *   Preceding context: "Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time. Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off."
    *   Situation: A man looks squarely at a truck driver who is cursing. The truck driver stops and leaves. Haney wonders what the truck driver saw in the man's eyes. The target word refers to the "sort of look" that can call a bluff.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `look%1:07:01::` | definition=the feelings expressed on a person's face | synonyms=expression, aspect, facial expression, face | examples=a sad expression; a look of triumph.
        *   *Analysis:* This refers to the facial expression conveying emotion or attitude. The text mentions "what the truck driver had seen in those eyes". The target sentence says "sort of look that can call a bluff". Calling a bluff is an action/interaction mediated through facial expression (a stern, knowing, or threatening expression). The text emphasizes what was *seen* in the eyes and the non-verbal communication ("without saying a word"). This fits "feelings expressed on a person's face".

    *   **Sense 2:** `look%1:04:00::` | definition=the act of directing the eyes toward something and perceiving it visually | synonyms=looking, looking at | examples=he went out to have a look; his look was fixed on her eyes.
        *   *Analysis:* This refers to the act of looking (the action). While the man "looked squarely" earlier (verb), the target noun "the sort of look" refers to the *quality* or *nature* of the expression/gaze that achieved an effect, rather than just the physical act of directing the eyes. "A sort of looking" doesn't fit the grammatical slot or the semantic nuance of a menacing or powerful expression as well as Sense 1 does. Sense 2 is usually "to have a look" (a glance). Here it's "a look that can call a bluff" (an expression/aura).

    *   **Sense 3:** `look%1:07:00::` | definition=physical appearance | examples=I don't like the looks of this place.
        *   *Analysis:* This usually refers to general physical appearance (e.g., "she has a new look", "the looks of a building"). While the man's look involves physical appearance, the context focuses on the communication of intent/power ("call a bluff") via the face/eyes, which is more specific than general "physical appearance". It's less about "how he looks" (handsome/ugly) and more about "the expression on his face".

    *   **Sense 4:** `look%1:26:00::` | definition=the general atmosphere of a place or situation... | synonyms=spirit, tone, feel...
        *   *Analysis:* This refers to an atmosphere or vibe of a place/situation. This is irrelevant to a person's facial expression.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2 (the strongest contenders):**
    *   The phrase "a look that can call a bluff" is the key. "Calling a bluff" is a psychological interaction.
    *   If it were Sense 2 (the act): "The sort of act-of-looking that can call a bluff." This is clunky.
    *   If it were Sense 1 (the expression): "The sort of expression that can call a bluff." This fits perfectly. The driver saw something in the eyes (the expression/intensity) that made him stop.
    *   The preceding verb "looked squarely" describes the action (Sense 2ish for the verb), but the noun target "the sort of look" describes the *result* or the *content* of that gaze as perceived by the other person.
    *   Sense 1 examples: "a look of triumph". Context: "a look that can call a bluff". These are parallel. They are defining the facial configuration/emotion projected.
    *   Sense 2 examples: "he went out to have a look". Context: "It must have been the sort of look...". Usually, "have a look" = take a glance. "Give a look" = glare/stare (which bridges the two). However, Sense 1 specifically mentions "feelings expressed on a person's face". The power to "call a bluff" resides in the expression/feeling conveyed, not merely the mechanical act of looking.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit. It captures the non-verbal communication of a specific attitude (threat/determination) through facial expression.

5.  **Final Check:**
    *   Target: "the sort of <t>look</t> that can call a bluff"
    *   Definition 1: "the feelings expressed on a person's face"
    *   Match: High. The "look" is the vehicle for the bluff-calling emotion/intent.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."
    *   The situation involves a confrontation. A truck driver is cursing at two people. One of them gives a look that makes the driver back off.
    *   The phrase "call a bluff" is a common idiom.
    *   To "call someone's bluff" means to challenge someone to prove that what they are saying is true, knowing or suspecting that they are lying or exaggerating. It comes from poker but is used generally in life for challenges and pretenses.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `bluff%1:17:00::` - definition: "a high steep bank (usually formed by river erosion)". This is a geographical feature. Context is about a confrontation/look. Not a fit.
    *   Sense 2: `bluff%1:10:00::` - definition: "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is". Examples: "his bluff succeeded in getting him accepted". This refers to a general act of deception or false show of confidence.
    *   Sense 3: `bluff%3:04:00::` (Wait, the input says `bluff%1:04:00::` but the definition "the act of bluffing in poker..." is usually an act/event, often mapped to noun usage of the verb or a specific gambling term). Let's check the hierarchy.
        *   Sense 2 is under "communication" / "misrepresentation" (noun).
        *   Sense 3 is specifically defined as "the act of bluffing in poker".

3.  **Disambiguate between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   The phrase is "call a bluff".
    *   Origin: Poker (Sense 3 context).
    *   Usage in text: The truck driver was acting aggressive (cursing), pretending to be tough/dominant. The victim gave a look that challenged that aggression. The driver realized the victim wasn't afraid and might actually be dangerous (or at least wasn't backing down), so the driver stopped.
    *   Is this strictly a poker game? No.
    *   Does "call a bluff" refer to the poker-specific act (Sense 3) or the general pretense (Sense 2)?
    *   WordNet often distinguishes between the specific domain (poker) and the general sense.
    *   Sense 2 definition: "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is". This fits the psychological state/strategy being employed in the confrontation. The truck driver's aggression was the "bluff" (pretense of power/dominance).
    *   Sense 3 definition: "the act of bluffing in poker; deception by a false show of confidence in the strength of your cards".
    *   In general WSD tasks, metaphoric or generalized usage of a term often maps to the more general sense if available, *unless* the specific sense is the only one or the metaphor is "dead" enough to be the general sense.
    *   However, let's look at the specific definitions provided in the prompt.
    *   Sense 2: "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is". This perfectly describes the situation. The truck driver's position (dominance) wasn't as strong as he pretended.
    *   Sense 3 explicitly mentions "poker". This is a specific hyponym or domain-specific usage.
    *   The idiom "call a bluff" originated in poker but is standard English usage now. If I say "I called his bluff," I am usually referring to Sense 2 (the general pretense). If I were writing a dictionary, I might link the etymology to poker, but for sense disambiguation of the *current usage* in a non-poker context, the general sense is usually preferred.
    *   Let's check WordNet hierarchy (mentally):
        *   Sense 2 (general bluff) -> Hypernym: misrepresentation, deceit.
        *   Sense 3 (poker bluff) -> Specific instance of the concept?
    *   Actually, looking at the provided definitions:
        *   Sense 2: "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is".
        *   Sense 3: "the act of bluffing in poker...".
    *   The context is a street confrontation, not a card game. Therefore, Sense 3 is too specific (poker). Sense 2 covers the general act of pretending to be stronger than one is. The look "called" this pretense.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice.

4.  **Double Check:**
    *   Context: "call a bluff". The target is "bluff".
    *   The truck driver was swearing/aggressive. The look challenged this. The driver backed off.
    *   The driver was likely "bluffing" about how tough he was or how far he would go. The look "called" it.
    *   Is "bluff" here a steep bank? No (Sense 1 out).
    *   Is it a specific poker action? No, it's a metaphor derived from poker, but the *referent* in the sentence is the truck driver's attitude/behavior (a pretense).
    *   Definition Sense 2: "pretense that your position is stronger than it really is". This matches the truck driver's behavior perfectly.
    *   Definition Sense 3: "the act of bluffing in poker". This is restricted to the game.
    *   Conclusion: Sense 2 is the appropriate level of generalization for this context.

Looking at the context, the phrase "without saying a word" is used to emphasize that the communication happened nonverbally - through a look rather than through speech.

Let me analyze the relevant senses:

Sense 1 (express in words) refers to verbal communication, which fits the standard meaning of "saying a word" as speaking.

Sense 7 (communicate or express nonverbally) directly addresses what's happening in the context - a look that communicates something without verbal expression.

Sense 8 (utter aloud) is about the physical act of speaking, which could work but is less precise than other options.

The phrase "without saying a word" is being used to describe nonverbal communication. The look "calls a bluff" (communicates something meaningful) without the need for words. This aligns perfectly with sense 7's definition and examples like "Did his face say anything about how he felt?"

{"sense_index": 7}

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the target word "saying" in the context provided.

The target sentence is: "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without <t>saying</t> a word."

The context is about a man who gave a look to a truck driver that made him back off, without saying anything. The phrase "without saying a word" is used twice in the passage.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "express in words" - This could fit as "saying a word" means expressing in words.

2. "report or maintain" - This doesn't fit well. This is more about asserting something.

3. "express a supposition" - This doesn't fit. This is more like "let's say" or "suppose."

4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - This doesn't fit. This is more about what a text or document says.

5. "give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority" - This doesn't fit. This is about ordering someone.

6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - This could fit as it's about speaking words.

7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - This is interesting. The context is about communicating without words, so "saying" here could refer to nonverbal communication.

8. "utter aloud" - This could fit as it's about speaking.

9. "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - This doesn't fit well.

10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - This doesn't fit.

11. "indicate" - This doesn't fit well.

The phrase "without saying a word" is a common expression that means "without speaking/uttering any words." In this context, it's emphasizing that the look communicated something without the need for verbal communication.

Looking at the examples for sense 7: "What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?" These are about nonverbal communication, which is similar to what's happening in the passage - a look that communicates something.

However, the phrase "without saying a word" is more about not speaking/uttering words, which would align with sense 1 "express in words" or sense 8 "utter aloud". The phrase is saying "without expressing/uttering any words."

But actually, let me reconsider sense 7. The examples show that "say" can be used to mean "communicate nonverbally." In the context, "without saying a word" is indeed about not communicating verbally, which is similar to sense 7's examples.

Actually, I think I need to be careful here. The phrase "without saying a word" is a fixed expression that means "without speaking." It's not about nonverbal communication (that would be odd - "without communicating nonverbally a word").

So the most appropriate sense is probably sense 1 "express in words" or sense 8 "utter aloud".

Let me think more carefully about senses 1 and 8:

Sense 1: "express in words" - synonyms are "state, tell" - examples: "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you"
Sense 8: "utter aloud" - no synonyms given - examples: "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office"

In the phrase "without saying a word", "say" is used in the general sense of speaking or expressing something verbally. Sense 1 seems to fit better because it's more about expressing content, which aligns with "saying a word" (expressing something in words). Sense 8 is more specific to uttering specific words aloud, as in the example "She said `Hello' to everyone."

Therefore, I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Wait, let me reconsider sense 7 once more. The sense definition is "communicate or express nonverbally" with examples "What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?"

In the context, we have "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without <t>saying</t> a word." The look is communicating something (calling a bluff) without verbal communication.

However, I don't think sense 7 fits here. The phrase "without saying a word" is a fixed expression meaning "without speaking," not "without nonverbally communicating." The entire point is that the look communicates, but it does so without words/verbal communication. So "saying a word" refers to verbal communication, not nonverbal communication.

I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Actually, looking at the definition more carefully:

Sense 1: "express in words" - This is about using words to convey meaning.
Sense 8: "utter aloud" - This is about the physical act of speaking.

In "without saying a word", we're talking about not using words to communicate, not just not uttering sounds. So sense 1 seems more appropriate.

Actually, looking at the examples more carefully:

Sense 1 examples: "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you" - These are about conveying information through speech.

Sense 8 examples: "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office" - This is about uttering a specific greeting.

In "without saying a word", we're talking about not conveying any verbal information, which aligns more with sense 1.

Therefore, I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Actually, let me double-check sense 7 again. The sense definition is "communicate or express nonverbally" with examples "What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?"

In the context, we have "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without <t>saying</t> a word." The look is communicating something (calling a bluff) without verbal communication.

But "saying a word" here means "speaking words" or "expressing something in words," not "nonverbally communicating." The phrase "without saying a word" is saying that the communication happened without verbal means.

So I still believe sense 1 is most appropriate.

Hmm, but let me think again. The whole context is about a look that communicates something, which is nonverbal communication. And the phrase "without saying a word" emphasizes that this communication happened without words.

But the word "say" in "without saying a word" is referring to verbal communication, not nonverbal communication. The look is doing the nonverbal communication, and it's doing so "without saying a word" (without verbal communication).

So I believe sense 1 is still most appropriate for "say" in "without saying a word."

Let me check sense 7 once more. The definition is "communicate or express nonverbally." But "saying a word" is not an example of nonverbal communication. Saying a word is verbal communication. So sense 7 doesn't fit for "say" in the phrase "without saying a word."

Therefore, I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Actually, I realize there might be a subtle point here. The phrase "without saying a word" means "without speaking any words," not just "without expressing any content in words."

Sense 1 is defined as "express in words," which emphasizes the content being expressed.
Sense 8 is defined as "utter aloud," which emphasizes the act of speaking.

In "without saying a word," we're talking about not speaking any words, which aligns more with sense 8 "utter aloud." We're not talking about not expressing content (which would be sense 1); we're talking about not uttering/speaking words.

So I now believe sense 8 "utter aloud" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Actually, let me be more precise. The phrase "without saying a word" means "without speaking any words," not just "without uttering sounds." It's about not using words in communication, not just not making sounds.

Sense 1 is defined as "express in words," which captures the idea of using words to convey meaning.
Sense 8 is defined as "utter aloud," which captures the idea of speaking words aloud.

I think both could potentially fit, but I'm leaning towards sense 1 because it emphasizes the use of words to express meaning, which is what "saying a word" is about in the phrase "without saying a word."

However, I'm not entirely convinced. Let me think about this differently.

If someone says "I didn't say a word," what do they mean? They mean they didn't speak any words. They didn't utter any words aloud. This seems to align with sense 8 "utter aloud."

But at the same time, when someone doesn't "say a word," they're not expressing anything in words, which is what sense 1 "express in words" is about.

I think both senses could apply, but I'm now leaning towards sense 8 because the phrase "without saying a word" seems to emphasize the act of speaking/uttering words rather than the content being expressed.

Actually, let me take a step back. The passage is about a look that communicates something (calls a bluff) without verbal communication. The phrase "without saying a word" is emphasizing that this communication happened without words.

Now, the definition of sense 7 is "communicate or express nonverbally," which is exactly what the look is doing - communicating nonverbally. The examples for sense 7 are "What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?" These are about nonverbal communication, similar to the look in the passage.

But here's the crucial point: the word "say" in "without saying a word" is not referring to the nonverbal communication. It's referring to verbal communication that didn't happen. The look is doing the nonverbal communication, and it's doing so "without saying a word" (without verbal communication).

So sense 7 doesn't fit for "say" in the phrase "without saying a word." Sense 7 would be more applicable if the sentence was something like "The look said that he was determined."

Therefore, I believe either sense 1 "express in words" or sense 8 "utter aloud" is most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Let me make a final decision. In the phrase "without saying a word," the emphasis is on not speaking/uttering any words. While sense 1 "express in words" could work, I think sense 8 "utter aloud" better captures the essence of not speaking words.

Therefore, I believe sense 8 "utter aloud" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Wait, I need to reconsider sense 7 one more time. The context is about a look that communicates something (calls a bluff) without words. And the definition of sense 7 is "communicate or express nonverbally."

But the word "say" in "without saying a word" is not referring to the nonverbal communication; it's referring to verbal communication that didn't happen. The entire phrase "without saying a word" is modifying how the look communicated (i.e., nonverbally).

So sense 7 doesn't fit for "say" in the phrase "without saying a word."

I still believe sense 8 "utter aloud" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Actually, let me think about this again. The phrase "without saying a word" is a fixed expression meaning "without speaking." It's not about nonverbal communication.

Let me consider the senses again:

1. "express in words" - This is about conveying meaning through words.
8. "utter aloud" - This is about the physical act of speaking.

In "without saying a word," we're talking about not speaking any words. The emphasis is on the absence of words, not on the absence of content expression.

I think sense 8 "utter aloud" better captures this idea.

Actually, upon further reflection, I believe sense 1 "express in words" is more appropriate for "say" in "without saying a word." The phrase is about not using words to express or communicate, which aligns with sense 1's definition "express in words."

Sense 8 "utter aloud" is more about the physical act of speaking, but "saying a word" is not just about making sounds; it's about using words to express meaning.

Therefore, I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Actually, I realize I'm overthinking this. Let me take a step back and consider the most straightforward interpretation.

The phrase "without saying a word" means "without speaking." It's a common expression used to describe situations where someone doesn't speak.

Looking at the senses:

1. "express in words" - This aligns with the idea of using words to communicate.
8. "utter aloud" - This aligns with the idea of speaking words.

Both could potentially fit, but I think sense 1 is more appropriate because "saying a word" is about using words to express or communicate, not just about making sounds.

Therefore, I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Let me take one more look at sense 7, since the whole context is about nonverbal communication (a look that communicates something).

Sense 7 is defined as "communicate or express nonverbally" with examples "What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?"

But the word "say" in "without saying a word" is not referring to the nonverbal communication; it's referring to verbal communication that didn't happen. The entire phrase "without saying a word" is describing how the communication happened (i.e., without words).

So sense 7 doesn't fit for "say" in the phrase "without saying a word."

I believe sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

Final decision: sense 1 "express in words" is the most appropriate for the target word in this context.

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

reasoning_content:
The target word is "word" in the context: "It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word."

Let me analyze the context. The phrase "without saying a word" is a common expression meaning without speaking anything, without uttering any words.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "a unit of language that native speakers can identify" - This is the general linguistic sense of "word" as a unit of language. The example "he hardly said ten words all morning" is similar to this context.

2. "a brief statement" - The example "he didn't say a word about it" is very close to our context phrase "without saying a word."

3. "information about recent and important events" (news, intelligence, tidings) - Not relevant here.

4. "a verbal command for action" - Not relevant here.

5. "an exchange of views on some topic" (discussion) - Not relevant here.

6. "a promise" (parole, word of honor) - Not relevant here.

7. "a string of bits stored in computer memory" - Not relevant here.

8. "the divine word of God" - Not relevant here.

9. "a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group" (password) - Not relevant here.

10. "the sacred writings of the Christian religions" - Not relevant here.

The choice is between sense 1 and sense 2.

Sense 1 is about "word" as a unit of language - words as the building blocks of speech/language.

Sense 2 is about "a brief statement" with the example "he didn't say a word about it" - which matches our context very closely "without saying a word."

The phrase "without saying a word" is an idiom meaning without speaking. The example for sense 2 "he didn't say a word about it" matches this usage pattern very well.

I think sense 2 is the best match because:
1. The example for sense 2 directly parallels our context phrase
2. In the phrase "without saying a word," the word "word" is being used to mean any utterance or statement, not specifically a linguistic unit

Actually, let me reconsider. In "without saying a word," it could also be interpreted as "without saying any word" - i.e., without saying any unit of language. Both senses 1 and 2 could apply here.

But sense 2's example "he didn't say a word about it" is essentially the same construction as "without saying a word" - both use the negative construction with "say a word." This suggests sense 2 is the intended sense for this idiomatic usage.

So my answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target sentence:** "When the light went their way, they went on across the street."
2.  **Identify the context:** The characters are crossing the street. They wait for a signal. This is a traffic context.
3.  **Examine the word "light":** It refers to the traffic signal changing to allow pedestrians to cross.
4.  **Evaluate candidate senses:**
    *   1: "electromagnetic radiation..." - No, this is physics.
    *   2: "any device serving as a source of illumination" - This is close (a traffic light is a device), but the definition focuses on illumination. The example "turned off the lights" refers to headlights or house lights.
    *   3: "particular perspective..." - No.
    *   4: "quality of being luminous..." - No.
    *   5: "an illuminated area" - No.
    *   6: "spiritual awareness..." - No.
    *   7: "visual effect of illumination..." - No.
    *   8: "person regarded very fondly..." - No.
    *   9: "having abundant light..." - No.
    *   10: "mental understanding..." - No.
    *   11: "merriment..." - No.
    *   12: "public awareness..." - No.
    *   13: "divine presence..." - No.
    *   14: "a visual warning signal" - This fits perfectly. Traffic lights are signals regulating traffic. The example "there was a light at every corner" strongly suggests traffic lights/signals.
    *   15: "device for lighting or igniting..." - No.

5.  **Refine choice:** Sense 14 is defined as "a visual warning signal". While a traffic light signals "go" (which is permissive, not just a warning), it falls under the category of traffic signals. The example "there was a light at every corner" is the most contextually relevant example provided among the options for a street crossing scenario. Sense 2 (source of illumination) is too broad (could be a lamp), whereas Sense 14 captures the signaling function essential to the context "went their way" (meaning they got the walk signal).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   Sense 1 (1:07:01): "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode). *Example: manner of talking.* -> Doesn't fit "light went their way".
    *   Sense 2 (1:04:01): "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means, agency). *Example: means of control.* -> Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3 (1:15:00): "a line leading to a place or point" (direction). *Example: he looked the other direction; didn't know the way home.* -> This looks promising. "Went their way" often means "went in their direction" or "turned in their favor" (allowing movement). Let's look at the specific phrase "light went their way". Traffic lights don't usually "go" in a physical direction in the sense of traveling, but the *signal* indicates which direction can move. However, "went their way" here suggests the light turned green for them (permission to proceed in their direction).
    *   Sense 4 (1:26:00): "the condition of things generally". *Example: that's the way it is.* -> Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 5 (1:04:00): "a course of conduct" (path, way of life). *Example: path of virtue.* -> Doesn't fit.

    *   Sense 12 (1:21:00): "a portion of something divided into shares". *Example: split three ways.* -> Doesn't fit.

3.  **Deep Dive into Sense 3 vs. others:**
    The phrase is "the light went their way".
    Traffic lights change color. When they "go your way", it usually means they turned green for your direction of travel.
    Is there a specific sense for "favorable outcome" or "chance"? None listed here seem to capture "luck" directly, though Sense 3 (direction) covers the physical aspect.

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "a line leading to a place or point" (direction).
    Example: "didn't know the way home".
    Context: "the light went their way".
    In traffic contexts, a light turning green allows movement in a specific direction.
    However, "went their way" is an idiom often meaning "turned out favorable" or "turned in their direction".
    If I look at WordNet (3.0/3.1) definitions:
    The definition for Sense 3 is usually: "a line leading to a place or point".
    Does "the light went their way" mean the light physically moved along a line? No.
    Does it mean the light indicated their direction? Yes.

    Let's look for other possibilities.
    Is "way" referring to "permission to go"? No specific sense listed.
    Is "way" referring to "the path/route"?
    Sense 3 "direction" seems the closest. "It went their direction" (metaphorically or literally signaling their turn).
    Actually, let's check if there is a sense for "turn".
    No.

    Let's analyze the phrase "went their way".
    Does it mean "continued on their journey"? (Sense 7). No, the subject is "the light". The light isn't on a journey.
    Does it mean "turned to their direction"? Yes.

    Consider the idiom "to go one's way".
    "Things went my way" (Sense 10 - doing as one pleases? No, Sense 10 is usually "I had my way").
    "The light went their way" implies the light turned green for them. This allows them to proceed in their intended direction.

    Let's look at Sense 3 again. Synonyms: "direction".
    If the light went their "direction", it signaled their turn.
    This seems to be the intended WordNet mapping for "way" in phrases like "look the other way" (Sense 3 example) or "went their way" (in the sense of turning favorable or indicating their path).

    Let's check Sense 1 again. "Manner". No.
    Sense 4. "Condition". No.

    Let's look at Sense 6 (artifact/path). No.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 3.
    Definition: "a line leading to a place or point".
    Synonyms: "direction".
    Examples: "he looked the other direction"; "didn't know the way home".
    Context: "When the light went their way..."
    Meaning: When the light signaled permission for their direction of travel.
    The "way" here refers to the direction they are facing/traveling.

    Could it be Sense 1 (1:07:01)? "how something is done". No.

    Let's compare Sense 3 and Sense 7 (journey).
    Context: "light went their way". The light is the subject.
    The light didn't take a journey. The light changed in favor of their direction.
    Therefore, "way" refers to the **direction** of travel for the pedestrians. The light turned green for their direction.

    Therefore, Sense 3 (direction) is the best fit.

    Let's double check if there is an idiom listed.
    Sometimes "go one's way" falls under a specific sense.
    If I search for "go one's way" in WordNet:
    It often maps to "direction" (Sense 3) or "turn".
    WordNet 3.0:
    Sense 3: direction, way (a line leading to a place or point; "he looked the other direction"; "didn't know the way home").

    Usage: "The light went their way."
    This means the signal changed to allow traffic flow in their direction.
    "Way" = Direction.

    Sense 3 is the clear winner. "Direction" fits the semantic slot. "The light went their direction" (signaled their turn).
