Context:
Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He <t>went</t> for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

raw_output:
Looking at the context "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way...", I need to determine the most appropriate sense for "went" (past tense of "go").

In this sentence, Haney is physically moving from one location to another to obtain aspirin. The sentence explicitly mentions he "passed the surly landlord on the way," confirming physical movement from one place to another.

Sense 1: "change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically" with synonyms "travel, move, locomote" fits this usage perfectly. This is the basic physical movement sense of "go" - he traveled from his apartment to get aspirin.

While sense 3 "move away from a place into another direction" might seem relevant, it's specifically about departure/leaving, which is not the primary meaning here. The emphasis is on his movement toward a destination (to get aspirin) rather than departing from somewhere.

None of the other senses (procedural, state change, spending, etc.) capture this basic physical movement meaning.

Looking at the context, "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way," the sense that fits best is the physical movement sense. He is traveling from his apartment to get aspirin, which involves changing location.

The closest sense is #1: "change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically" with synonyms "travel, move, locomote."

The phrase "went for" in this context means he traveled to a location to obtain something (aspirin). This is a clear instance of changing location and moving.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    The target sentence is: "He went for more aspirin later in the <t>day</t>, and passed the surly landlord on the way..."
    The preceding context establishes that it is "The next day, Sunday" after a night of drinking (midnight return, hangover in the morning).
    The phrase "later in the day" refers to a point in time during that Sunday, specifically after the morning hangover realization and before/as he goes for aspirin. It implies the daylight hours or the waking period of that specific calendar day.

2.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" (24 hours).
        *   *Context fit:* While "Sunday" is a day (24 hours), "later in the day" usually refers to a specific period within that 24-hour cycle, usually the waking hours or daylight hours. However, sense 1 is often used for "two days later" or "every day". "Later in the day" could loosely fit this (later in the 24-hour period), but other senses are more specific to the time *within* a day.

    *   **Sense 2:** "some point or period in time".
        *   *Context fit:* This is a very broad sense. Examples: "it should arrive any day now". While true, "later in the day" points to a specific timeslot within a calendar day, making this too generic.

    *   **Sense 3:** "a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance" (e.g., Mother's Day).
        *   *Context fit:* No, it's just a Sunday.

    *   **Sense 4:** "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside" (daytime/daylight).
        *   *Context fit:* "Later in the day" often contrasts with night. If he went for aspirin later in the day, he went during the daylight hours. This fits the common usage of "day" vs "night". The context implies it's daytime because he's going out to get aspirin, likely while stores are open or just while it's light. This is a strong contender.

    *   **Sense 5:** "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)".
        *   *Context fit:* This refers to one's schedule ("my day began early"). The phrase "later in the day" generally refers to clock time within the solar day, not necessarily the specific "work day" block, though there is overlap. Sense 4 (daylight) or Sense 1 (calendar day) are usually the referents for "later in the X". Sense 5 is usually used like "I had a long day".

    *   **Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 4 again.**
        *   Context: "later in the day".
        *   Sense 1 (24 hours): "Later in the 24-hour period". This is technically true.
        *   Sense 4 (Daylight): "Later in the daylight hours". This is also true pragmatically. If it were "later in the night", we would say night. By saying "day", the speaker contrasts it with night (previous context mentions "midnight", "night before").
        *   WordNet distinctions can be tricky here.
        *   Sense 1 examples: "two days later", "every day". These refer to calendar units.
        *   Sense 4 examples: "dawn turned night into day", "repairs in the daytime". These refer to light conditions.
        *   When we say "later in the day", do we mean "later in the 24-hour cycle" or "later while the sun is up"?
        *   Usually, "day" in phrases like "part of the day", "later in the day", "early in the day" tends to fall under Sense 4 in some dictionaries (daylight), or it is a specific instance of Sense 1 (a specific calendar day).
        *   However, let's look at Sense 1's synonyms: "24-hour period".
        *   Let's look at Sense 4's synonyms: "daytime, daylight".
        *   The phrase "later in the day" is a fixed expression roughly meaning "later in the afternoon or evening (but before night)".
        *   If I say "I'll do it later in the day", I usually mean during the daylight/waking hours.
        *   Let's check WordNet hierarchy/usage.
            *   Sense 1 is the unit of time.
            *   Sense 4 is the light part of the day.
        *   In the sentence "The next day, Sunday...", that is clearly Sense 1 (calendar day).
        *   In the sentence "He went for more aspirin later in the day...", is "day" referring to the calendar unit or the daylight portion?
        *   If he went at 8 PM (dark), one might still say "later in the day" (calendar day).
        *   However, the contrast is often with "night". The previous text establishes "midnight", "night before". Now it is "Sunday". He gets up (hangover). Then "later in the day".
        *   This implies the passage of time during the daylight hours of that Sunday.
        *   Many WSD systems map "day" in "later in the day" to Sense 4 (daylight) because it contrasts with night. But often it is mapped to Sense 1 (the specific 24-hour period designated as Sunday).
        *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 4 again: "the time after sunrise and before sunset".
        *   Let's look at Sense 1: "time for Earth to make a complete rotation".
        *   Which one fits "later in the [target]"?
        *   If it were Sense 4: "later in the daylight".
        *   If it were Sense 1: "later in the 24-hour period".
        *   In standard usage, "later in the day" refers to the instance of the day.
        *   Let's look at Sense 2: "some point or period in time". Examples: "after that day she never trusted him". This usually refers to specific historical points or broad periods.
        *   Let's reconsider Sense 4. Is "day" here synonymous with "daylight"? "Later in the daylight" sounds awkward. "Later in the daytime" is possible.
        *   However, Sense 1 is defined as the time for a rotation (24 hours). But practically, when we refer to "a day" (e.g., "Sunday"), we are referring to the calendar day (Sense 1). "Later in the day" means "later on Sunday".
        *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1's examples again: "two days later they left". "They put on two performances every day".
        *   Sense 4 examples: "it is easier to make the repairs in the daytime".
        *   The sentence is "later in the day".
        *   If we look at how WordNet is typically annotated (e.g., SemCor), "day" referring to a specific date (like Sunday) is Sense 1.
        *   "The next day, Sunday" is clearly Sense 1.
        *   "Later in the day" refers back to that specific day (Sunday). Therefore, it acts as an anaphoric reference to the specific 24-hour period (or the waking part of it, which is the salient part of Sense 1).
        *   Often, Sense 1 covers specific mentions of days (Tuesday, that day, the next day).
        *   Sense 4 is usually restricted to the contrast with night (day vs night).
        *   Does "later in the day" contrast with night? Yes, implicitly.
        *   But does it refer to the light condition specifically? Or the calendar slot?
        *   If I say "Call me later in the day", and I call at 9 PM (dark), it's still "later in the day" (calendar day). So Sense 1 (24 hours) is the logically sound container for "later in the day".
        *   Sense 1 is the standard "calendar day" sense.
        *   Let's verify if there is a "waking hours" sense that fits better.
        *   Sense 5: "hours when you are not sleeping...". Examples: "my day began early". This is about the schedule/duration, not the specific point in time "later in the X".
        *   Let's compare Sense 1 vs Sense 2 again.
        *   Sense 2 is "some point or period in time". Often abstract ("in my day", "days of yore").
        *   Sense 1 is the concrete rotation/calendar day.
        *   The phrase "later in the day" modifies the specific instance of Sunday mentioned in the previous sentence ("The next day, Sunday").
        *   Since "Sunday" is a 24-hour day (Sense 1), and "later in the day" refers to a point within that Sunday, Sense 1 is the appropriate hypernym/container. You are moving to a later point in that 24-hour period.
        *   However, some annotators might choose Sense 4 if they interpret "day" as "daytime". But "later in the day" is an idiom/collocation that usually acts as an adverbial phrase relating to the calendar day.
        *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 1 again: "time for Earth to make a complete rotation...". Synonyms: "24-hour period".
        *   Does "later in the day" mean "later in the 24-hour period"? Yes.
        *   Does it mean "later in the daylight"? Maybe, but if it's winter and gets dark at 4 PM, "later in the day" could be 5 PM (dark). Or 8 PM. It usually refers to the span of the calendar day.
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 seems the most robust choice for specific references to a named or defined day (Sunday).

    *   Let's double check Sense 4 usage. "The dawn turned night into day". Here "day" is the state of light. "Later in the day" usually treats "day" as a span of time containing events.
    *   In WordNet 3.0/3.1, "day" (Sense 1) is the main sense for calendar days.
    *   Example from WordNet for Sense 1: "two days later they left".
    *   Example from context: "The next day, Sunday" (Sense 1). "Later in the day" refers to that same entity.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 examples: "it should arrive any day now". This is "an indefinite time". "after that day she never trusted him again". This refers to a specific point in time, but often with a lasting consequence or looking back at a specific date. "Later in the day" is just a time adverbial within a specific rotation.
    *   Most linguistic analyses treat "later in the day" as referring to the specific instance of the day (Sense 1).

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 4 again. Synonyms: daytime, daylight.
    *   If the context was "He travelled by day and slept by night", that's Sense 4.
    *   But "later in the day" is a temporal locator within the calendar day. It assumes the day as a container (Sense 1).

    *   Let's consider Sense 2 "some point or period in time".
    *   Is "later in the day" referencing a "period of time" in the abstract sense? No, it's referencing the specific Sunday.
    *   So it's between 1 and 4.
    *   Sense 1 covers "Sunday".
    *   Sense 4 covers "daylight".
    *   If I say "I'll see you later in the day", I imply while the sun is up (usually), or just during the waking hours of the calendar day.
    *   Context: "The next day, Sunday... He went for more aspirin later in the day".
    *   This is a continuation of the narrative timeline within that Sunday.
    *   Sense 1 is the "24-hour period".
    *   "Sunday" is a Sense 1 day.
    *   "Later in the day" is "later in that 24-hour period".
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.

    Let's check against Sense 4 again just to be sure.
    Definition Sense 4: "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside".
    If the character went for aspirin at 6 PM in winter (dark), and the text said "later in the day", would it be Sense 4? No, it would still be Sense 1 (calendar day). The phrase "later in the day" is tied to the calendar unit. If it were Sense 4, the phrase would likely be "later in the daylight" or "during the day".
    Actually, "during the day" is often Sense 4.
    But "later in the day" strongly favors the Sense 1 unit interpretation because it locates an event relative to the start of the day (or morning).
    Also, looking at SemCor annotations, "day" in "one day", "that day", "the next day" is almost always Sense 1.
    "Later in the day" is functioning similarly to "later that day".
    "That day" refers to the specific calendar day.
    So Sense 1 is the best fit.

    Let's check Sense 5.
    Definition: "recurring hours when you are not sleeping".
    Context: He woke up with a hangover. Later in the day he went for aspirin.
    Is it referring to his schedule? No, it's referring to the time of the specific Sunday.
    Sense 1 captures "Sunday" perfectly.
    Therefore, Sense 1 is the intended target.

    Sense 2 examples are specific: "any day now", "that day she never trusted him". "Later in the day" fits the "time point" aspect, but Sense 1's definition "time for Earth to make a complete rotation" is the structural definition of the day containing the event. In WSD tasks, if a word refers to a specific named day (Sunday), it falls under the rotation/calendar sense (Sense 1).

    Let's check Sense 2 again. "some point or period in time".
    This sense is often used when "day" is vague or refers to a specific significant event/time.
    "Later in the day" refers to a specific interval within the calendar day.
    Sense 1 allows for parts: "part of the day" usually refers to Sense 1's parts (morning, afternoon) or Sense 4.
    But Sense 1 is the primary sense.

    Let's refine the choice between 1 and 4.
    Oxford Learners Dictionary for "day": 1. "a period of 24 hours" (Sense 1). 2. "the time when it is light" (Sense 4).
    Example: "I'll see you in the day." -> Ambiguous. "during the day" usually means daylight.
    "Later in the day".
    If I mean daylight, I say "later in the afternoon" or "before dark".
    "Later in the day" is the standard colloquial reference to the calendar date.
    "Call me back later in the day." -> Refers to the date. Even if I call at 8pm.
    Sense 1 is the 24-hour period (or the specific instance of it).
    This matches "Sunday" (the next day).

    Therefore, Sense 1.

Target lemma: pass
Target surface form: passed
Context:
Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and <t>passed</t> the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "passed" in the context: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way"

Let me analyze the context:
- Phil Haney is going to get more aspirin
- On his way, he "passed" the surly landlord
- The landlord was still alive and scowling

This is clearly about physically moving past someone while walking. He encountered/moved past the landlord while going to get aspirin.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. pass%2:38:00:: - go across or through - Not quite, this is about traversing/going through something
2. pass%2:38:05:: - move past - synonyms: travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by - examples: "A black limousine passed by when she looked out the window"; "He passed his professor in the hall" - This seems perfect! The example "He passed his professor in the hall" is almost identical to our context.
3. pass%2:41:02:: - make laws - No, not about legislation
4. pass%2:38:03:: - pass by (time elapsing) - No, this is about time passing
5. pass%2:40:00:: - place into the hands or custody of - No, not about handing something
6. pass%2:42:08:: - stretch out over a distance - No
7. pass%2:38:01:: - travel past, overtake - This is about overtaking (like passing a vehicle), not quite the same
8. pass%2:30:00:: - happen - No
9. pass%2:41:04:: - go unchallenged; be approved - No
10. pass%2:42:00:: - pass time in a specific way - No
11. pass%2:35:00:: - pass over, across, or through - More about guiding something
12. pass%2:32:01:: - transmit information - No
13. pass%2:30:01:: - disappear gradually - No
14. pass%2:41:08:: - go through a test successfully - No
15. pass%2:42:04:: - be superior or better than some standard - No
16. pass%2:41:07:: - accept or judge as acceptable - No
17. pass%2:41:11:: - allow to go without comment or censure - No
18. pass%2:40:02:: - transfer to another - No
19. pass%2:38:02:: - pass into a specified state or condition - No
20. pass%2:40:13:: - throw a ball - No
21. pass%2:40:01:: - be inherited by - No
22. pass%2:38:04:: - cause to pass - No
23. pass%2:32:00:: - grant authorization - No
24. pass%2:30:11:: - die - No
25. pass%2:29:00:: - eliminate from the body - No

The best match is sense 2: pass%2:38:05:: with definition "move past" and the example "He passed his professor in the hall" which perfectly matches our context of Phil passing the landlord.

So the answer is sense_index: 2

The context describes a landlord who is "still alive and scowling as usual". This means the landlord is still living/not dead.

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. alive%3:00:01:: | possessing life | examples: the happiest person alive; the nerve is alive
2. alive%5:00:00:lively:00 | full of life and spirit

6. alive%5:00:00:aware:00 | mentally perceptive and responsive
7. alive%5:00:00:active:05 | capable of erupting

In the context "he was still alive and scowling as usual", "alive" means that he is still living (not dead).
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "possessing life".

So the sense index is 1.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a "surly landlord" who scowls "as if tenants were a burden in his life." The relationship between landlord and tenant is key here. The landlord owns the building, and the tenants pay rent to live there. Phil (Haney) is returning to "his apartment" - he's renting from this landlord.

Sense 1: "someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else" - synonyms: renter - examples: "the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent"

Sense 2: "a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)" - this is more about legal title holders

Sense 3: "any occupant who dwells in a place" - this is broader, just any occupant

The context specifically mentions a landlord-tenant relationship. The landlord is described as someone who seems burdened by tenants. The example in sense 1 explicitly mentions "the landlord can evict a tenant" which matches the landlord-tenant dynamic in the passage. Sense 1 with the synonym "renter" and the explicit landlord-tenant example is the best fit.

Sense 3 is too broad - it could include owners or squatters. Sense 2 is about legal title holding which isn't the focus here.

Sense 1 is the best choice.

1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma and Context:**
    *   Target lemma: burden
    *   Target surface form: burden
    *   Context: A landlord is described as "surly" and "scowling." The narrator notes that the landlord acted "as if tenants were a burden in his life."
    *   The context implies that the tenants are an annoyance, a weight, or a troublesome responsibility to the landlord. The landlord finds them difficult to deal with or wishes they weren't there (scowling).

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `burden%1:09:01::`
        *   Definition: an onerous or difficult concern
        *   Synonyms: load, encumbrance, incumbrance, onus
        *   Examples: "the burden of responsibility", "that's a load off my mind"
        *   Analysis: This sense focuses on something that is psychologically or metaphorically heavy and troublesome. It fits the idea of tenants being a hassle or a weight on the landlord's shoulders. "Onerous or difficult concern" matches the attitude of a surly landlord who sees people as a bother.

    *   **Sense 2:** `burden%1:06:01::`
        *   Definition: weight to be borne or conveyed
        *   Synonyms: load, loading
        *   Examples: (implied physical weight)
        *   Analysis: This is primarily about physical weight or cargo. While "burden" can be metaphorical, this specific sense usually denotes physical load or quantity. The tenants aren't a physical weight the landlord is carrying.

    *   **Sense 3:** `burden%1:10:00::`
        *   Definition: the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
        *   Synonyms: effect, essence, core, gist
        *   Analysis: This is a specialized literary meaning (e.g., "the burden of the song"). It doesn't fit the context of a landlord-tenant relationship.

    *   **Sense 4:** `burden%1:09:00::`
        *   Definition: the central idea that is expanded in a document or discourse
        *   Analysis: Similar to Sense 3, this relates to ideas and discourse, not people being annoying.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 2 is physical weight.
    *   Sense 1 is metaphorical weight/responsibility/trouble.
    *   The context describes tenants causing scowling. Tenants are a responsibility or an annoyance ("difficult concern"). Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct fit.

4.  **Select the Indexed Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

5.  **Final Output Generation:**
    *   Format: JSON `{"sense_index": 1}`.

The target word is "life" in the context: "he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."

Let's analyze the context:
The landlord is alive and scowling, treating tenants as a burden in his life.
This refers to the course of existence of an individual, the events and activities in his living.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. life%1:26:01:: - a characteristic state or mode of living (social life, city life) -> Not quite.
2. life%1:09:00:: - the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities (complexities of life) -> Possible.
3. life%1:26:02:: - the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living (live his own life) -> "a burden in his life" fits the course of existence/actions and events that occur in living. He finds tenants a burden in his own existence/life.
4. life%1:26:00:: - the condition of living or the state of being alive -> No.

"a burden in his life" is very similar to "he wanted to live his own life without interference from others" or "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life".
Sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" (synonyms: living, examples: complexities of life).
Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" (examples: he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others).

"a burden in his life" - whose life? An individual (the landlord).
Sense 3 specifies "of an individual", while Sense 2 specifies "human events and activities".
Sense 3 is often used with possessives like "his life", referring to the individual's course of existence. "Tenants were a burden in his life" matches "interference from others in his life" (Sense 3 example).

Wait, Sense 2 is "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities".
Sense 3 is "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living".
"burden in his life" -> "his life" points to the course of existence of an individual.
Let's consider "burden in his life" -> Sense 3.

Another look at Sense 2 vs 3:
Sense 2: life%1:09:00:: - the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities. (Living). "He could no longer cope with the complexities of life" - life in general.
Sense 3: life%1:26:02:: - the course of existence of an individual. "He hoped for a new life in Australia", "live his own life" - individual's life.
The landlord's life is the individual's life. Tenants are a burden in his (the landlord's) life.
So Sense 3 is a better fit.

Let's double check.
Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living". Example: "he wanted to live his own life without interference from others". "tenants were a burden in his life" means his individual existence.
I will choose 3.

Target lemma: ignore
Target surface form: ignored
Context:
Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and <t>ignored</t> him. He went back to work Monday.

The target word is "ignored" in the context: "Phil shrugged and ignored him." He is ignoring the surly landlord.
Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. refuse to acknowledge (synonyms: disregard, snub, cut) - "She cut him dead at the meeting" - this implies a deliberate snub.
2. bar from attention or consideration (synonyms: dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside) - "She dismissed his advances"
3. fail to notice
4. give little or no attention to (synonyms: neglect, disregard) - "Disregard the errors"
5. be ignorant of or in the dark about

Phil shrugged and ignored him. The landlord is scowling as usual. Phil just doesn't pay attention to him, refuses to acknowledge him, or gives little/no attention.
Is it 1 or 4?
"refuse to acknowledge" usually implies a deliberate snubbing. "Phil shrugged and ignored him." A shrug often indicates dismissing something or giving little attention, but "snub" or "cut dead" might be too strong or specifically interpersonal. Let's look at sense 4: "give little or no attention to" (synonyms: neglect, disregard).
Wait, another sense is 1: "refuse to acknowledge" (snub).
Wait, "Phil shrugged and ignored him" -> he just disregarded him, didn't pay attention to his scowling. "Give little or no attention to" (sense 4) fits well, but "refuse to acknowledge" (sense 1) also fits.
Let's look at sense 2: "bar from attention or consideration". Dismiss, brush aside.
In WordNet, "ignore" has several senses.
ignore%2:32:02:: is "refuse to acknowledge" (snub, cut). "She cut him dead".
ignore%2:32:00:: is "bar from attention or consideration" (dismiss, disregard).
ignore%2:31:03:: is "give little or no attention to" (neglect, disregard).
ignore%2:39:00:: is "fail to notice".

Phil is actively ignoring the landlord. "Give little or no attention to" vs "refuse to acknowledge". A landlord scowling, Phil shrugs and ignores him. He refuses to acknowledge the landlord's scowl or existence, giving little attention.
Wait, "ignore" as in "give little or no attention to" (neglect) is usually for duties or things.
"refuse to acknowledge" is usually for people (snub, cut). "She cut him dead".
"bar from attention or consideration" is usually for ideas, advances, suggestions.
Let's check WordNet 3.0:
Verb Senses for "ignore":
1. give little or no attention to; "Disregard the errors" -> 2:31:03
2. bar from attention or consideration; "She dismissed his advances" -> 2:32:00
3. refuse to acknowledge; "She cut him dead at the meeting" -> 2:32:02
4. be ignorant of or in the dark about -> 2:31:01
5. fail to notice -> 2:39:00

Since Phil is ignoring a *person* (the landlord), sense 1 ("refuse to acknowledge", synonyms: snub, cut) seems to be the interpersonal sense of "ignore".
Wait, let's think about "Phil shrugged and ignored him". "Him" is the landlord. "Disregard" can apply to people too.
Let's check the synset for snub/cut: `ignore%2:32:02::` "refuse to acknowledge". The example is "She cut him dead at the meeting", which is about a person.
The synset for `ignore%2:31:03::` is "give little or no attention to", synonyms: neglect, disregard. Example: "Disregard the errors". This is usually about things, tasks, or errors.
The synset for `ignore%2:32:00::` is "bar from attention or consideration", synonyms: dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside. Example: "She dismissed his advances". This is about ideas, suggestions, or advances.

If Phil ignores the landlord, he is refusing to acknowledge him (snubbing him, or at least not acknowledging his presence/scowl). So sense 1 seems best for ignoring a person in an interpersonal context.
Wait, "shrugged and ignored him". A shrug is a gesture of dismissal or disregard, but also of not giving much attention.
Let's consider sense 1 (refuse to acknowledge) vs sense 4 (give little or no attention to).
If someone says "I ignored him", what is the most common sense? "Refuse to acknowledge" is the typical interpersonal sense of 'ignore'.
Let's look at the mapping:
Sense 1: refuse to acknowledge
Sense 2: bar from attention or consideration
Sense 3: fail to notice
Sense 4: give little or no attention to
Sense 5: be ignorant of or in the dark about

Actually, let's think about the difference between 1 and 4.
Sense 1: refuse to acknowledge (snub, cut) - implies a deliberate interpersonal rejection.
Sense 4: give little or no attention to (neglect, disregard) - implies neglecting, not paying attention.
In the text: "Phil shrugged and ignored him." A shrug indicates he noticed him but gave little attention or dismissed him. Did he *refuse to acknowledge* him? Yes, he didn't say hello or react to the scowl, he just shrugged. But does it match "snub / cut dead"? "Cut dead" is much stronger and more hostile than a shrug.
What about sense 4: "give little or no attention to"? "Disregard the errors" - it's about not letting something affect you.
What about sense 2: "bar from attention or consideration"? "Dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off". "Brush off" can apply to people! "She brushed him off." "Phil shrugged and ignored him" = he brushed him off? A shrug is literally brushing off.
Wait, WordNet sense 2: "bar from attention or consideration", synonyms: dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside.
If someone is scowling at you and you shrug and ignore them, you are brushing them off or giving little attention. But is it 1 or 4?
Let's check the synsets in WordNet.
`ignore%2:32:02::` -> Synset: {disregard, ignore, neglect, omit, miss, leave out, overlook, overleap}? No, the definition "refuse to acknowledge" is for the synset {snub, cut, ignore}.
`ignore%2:31:03::` -> Synset: {neglect, ignore, disregard}? Definition: give little or no attention to.
`ignore%2:32:00::` -> Synset: {dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside, ignore}. Definition: bar from attention or consideration.

Phil shrugged and ignored him. He is interacting (or rather, not interacting) with a person. "Snub" is specifically refusing to acknowledge someone. "Phil shrugged and ignored him" fits "refuse to acknowledge" (sense 1) because he doesn't acknowledge the landlord's scowl.
Wait, what if it's sense 4? "Give little or no attention to" can apply to people. "He neglected/ignored his friends."
But "ignored him" after a scowl and a shrug... "refuse to acknowledge" is specifically about acknowledging someone's presence or claim on your attention.
Wait, look at sense 1: synonyms=disregard, snub, cut. Examples=She cut him dead at the meeting.
Look at sense 4: synonyms=neglect, disregard. Examples=Disregard the errors.
Usually, "ignore a person" maps to the "snub" sense if it's a specific interaction where they refuse to acknowledge them. But "ignored him" can just mean "didn't pay attention to him".
However, the landlord is scowling *as if tenants were a burden*. Phil shrugs and ignores him. He refuses to let the landlord's scowl bother him, or he refuses to acknowledge the landlord's hostility. He just shrugs it off.
If he "shrugged it off", it aligns with "brush off / brush aside" (sense 2). But the target is "ignored him", not "ignored it". "Him" is the landlord.
Does "ignore him" mean snub him? Yes, "cut dead" is a strong form. "Snub" is refusing to acknowledge. Phil just doesn't acknowledge the scowling landlord. So sense 1 (refuse to acknowledge) makes sense.
Let's consider sense 4 (give little or no attention to). If he is just not paying attention to him, sense 4. But he *saw* him ("passed the surly landlord... he was still alive and scowling... Phil shrugged and ignored him"). He noticed him, but didn't give him attention / refused to acknowledge him.
Actually, WordNet sense 1 for "ignore" is usually "give little or no attention to".
Let's map the sense keys:
ignore%2:31:03:: = "give little or no attention to"
ignore%2:32:02:: = "refuse to acknowledge"
ignore%2:32:00:: = "bar from attention or consideration"

Often, "ignore a person" falls under the "refuse to acknowledge" sense in WSD datasets (like SemCor).
Let's check SemCor annotations for "ignore".
When "ignore" means "refuse to acknowledge" (snub), it's `ignore%2:32:02::`.
When it means "bar from attention", it's `ignore%2:32:00::`.
When it means "give little or no attention to" (neglect), it's `ignore%2:31:03::`.

"He ignored him." -> He refused to acknowledge him. It is an intentional interpersonal act. Sense 1.
Wait, sense 4 is "give little or no attention to" (neglect, disregard). Does "ignore" a person on the street mean snub or neglect? It means snub (refuse to acknowledge).
Let's think if it's sense 4. The landlord is scowling. Phil shrugged and ignored him. He refused to let it affect him. "Disregard the errors" is sense 4. But "disregard" can also be sense 1 (synonyms for sense 1 include disregard).
Let's look at the examples again:
Sense 1: "She cut him dead at the meeting" (Interpersonal, refusing to acknowledge)
Sense 2: "She dismissed his advances" (Rejecting something from someone)
Sense 4: "Disregard the errors" (Not paying attention to things)

Phil is ignoring the landlord himself, not just his advances or his scowl, but "ignored him". So it matches the "cut him dead" / "snub" sense (sense 1) better than the "dismiss his advances" sense or "disregard the errors" sense.
Therefore, sense 1 (refuse to acknowledge) is the best fit.

Wait, could it be sense 4? "Give little or no attention to". "He ignored him" could just mean he didn't pay attention to him, not necessarily a deliberate snub. But the landlord was right there scowling. You can't just "not notice" him. Phil "shrugged", which implies a deliberate choice to not engage, to dismiss. To dismiss is sense 2. "Bar from attention or consideration".
But the target is "ignored him", which is an interpersonal action. "Snub" is the classic interpersonal synonym for "ignore".
I will go with sense 1. "refuse to acknowledge".
Let's double check sense 1: synonyms=disregard, snub, cut | examples=She cut him dead at the meeting.
Sense 2: synonyms=dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside | examples=She dismissed his advances.
Sense 4: synonyms=neglect, disregard | examples=Disregard the errors.

"Phil shrugged and ignored him" -> He snubbed him, refused to acknowledge him. Sense 1 is the best fit.

Wait, is "shrugged and ignored him" more like "brushed him off"? "Brush off" is a synonym for sense 2. If he "shrugged", he is physically "brushing off" the landlord's attitude. "Phil shrugged and ignored him" -> he dismissed the landlord's attitude.
But sense 2 is "bar from attention or consideration", example "She dismissed his advances". "Advances" are the object of ignore, not the person. Here, the object is "him", the person. "Ignore him" is to refuse to acknowledge *him*. Sense 1's example is "cut *him* dead", where the object is the person.
So sense 1 is a much better match because the object of the verb is the person, and the meaning is refusing to acknowledge the person.

Final confirmation:
Sense 1: refuse to acknowledge. Object: person. Synonym: snub. Example: cut him dead.
Sense 2: bar from attention. Object: thing/idea/advance. Synonym: dismiss. Example: dismissed his advances.
Sense 4: give little or no attention. Object: thing/task/error. Synonym: neglect. Example: disregard the errors.

Since the object is "him" (the landlord), and it involves interpersonal interaction (or deliberate non-interaction), sense 1 is the correct choice.
Index is 1.

reasoning_content:
The target lemma is "alive" in the context: "By Wednesday the landlord was still alive."

Let me analyze the context:
- The story is about a landlord who was described as "still alive and scowling as usual"
- The narrator notes that by Wednesday, the landlord was "still alive"
- This seems to be about the landlord continuing to exist/live (not dead)
- The tone suggests some surprise or at least noting that the landlord hadn't died

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=alive%3:00:01:: | definition=possessing life | synonyms=live | examples="the happiest person alive; the nerve is alive"
   - This is the basic sense of being alive (not dead)

2. sense_key=alive%5:00:00:lively:00 | definition=(often followed by `with') full of life and spirit | examples="she was wonderfully alive for her age; a face alive with mischief"
   - This is about being lively/spirited

3. sense_key=alive%3:00:04:: | definition=having life or vigor or spirit | synonyms=animated | examples="an animated and expressive face; animated conversation"
   - Similar to #2, about animation/vigor

4. sense_key=alive%5:00:00:sensitive:02 | definition=(followed by `to' or `of') aware of | examples="is alive to the moods of others"
   - About being aware/sensitive to something

5. sense_key=alive%5:00:00:existent:00 | definition=in operation | synonyms=active | examples="keep hope alive; the tradition was still alive"
   - About something continuing/operating (traditions, hope)

6. sense_key=alive%5:00:00:aware:00 | definition=mentally perceptive and responsive | synonyms=alert, awake | examples="an alert mind; alert to the problems"
   - About being alert/aware

7. sense_key=alive%5:00:00:active:05 | definition=capable of erupting | synonyms=live | examples="a live volcano; the volcano is very much alive"
   - About volcanoes being active

In the context, "the landlord was still alive" clearly refers to the landlord continuing to possess life (not being dead). This is the most basic, literal sense of "alive."

Sense 1 is the correct match: "possessing life" with examples like "the happiest person alive."

The sentence is simply noting that the landlord was still living/existing, hadn't died. This matches sense 1 perfectly.

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:
1.  **Analyze the target lemma and surface form:**
    *   Lemma: mail
    *   Surface form: mailed (past tense verb)

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly..."
    *   The action is sending a physical object (a check) to a recipient (his wife) via a service.
    *   Key phrase: "mailed the monthly check". This implies putting it in the postal system.

3.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:**
        *   Sense Key: `mail%2:35:00::`
        *   Definition: send via the postal service
        *   Synonyms: get off
        *   Examples: I'll mail you the check tomorrow
        *   Context match: The example "I'll mail you the check tomorrow" matches the context "mailed the monthly check" almost perfectly. The definition specifically mentions "postal service".

    *   **Sense 2:**
        *   Sense Key: `mail%2:32:00::`
        *   Definition: cause to be directed or transmitted to another place
        *   Synonyms: post, send
        *   Examples: send me your latest results; I'll mail you the paper when it's written
        *   Context match: This is a hypernym (more general) sense. It usually applies to transmission of information or objects. While "mail" is a specific type of "sending" (Sense 2 is often the parent node in WordNet hierarchies), Sense 1 is the specific realization of sending via the postal system.

4.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 is specific to the postal service.
    *   Sense 2 is a broader communication/transmission sense.
    *   In the context, Haney is sending a *check* to his wife. Checks are physical items traditionally sent through the post (mail).
    *   The WordNet hierarchy often places specific methods (mail) under general transmission (send).
    *   Sense 1 (`mail%2:35:00::`) corresponds to the specific act of using the postal service. The example "I'll mail you the check tomorrow" is strikingly similar to the context sentence.
    *   Sense 2 (`mail%2:32:00::`) often reflects the "send" aspect. In some WordNet versions, `mail` is a synonym of `send` or `post` in a general sense. However, usually, when a specific sense exists for "send via the postal service" (Sense 1), and the context involves a check (physical document/money), that specific sense is preferred over the generic "transmit" sense.
    *   Looking at the sense keys:
        *   `mail%2:35:00::`: 2:35 usually refers to "communication" -> "mailing".
        *   `mail%2:32:00::`: 2:32 usually refers to "communication" -> "transmission" -> "send".
    *   The action is specifically "mailing" a check. This is the prototypical definition of mailing via the post. Sense 1 is the best fit because it captures the specific means (postal service) and the example is nearly identical to the context.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the specific definition of "mail" (via postal service) with an example matching the context perfectly. Sense 2 is the general hypernym (send/transmit). When the word "mail" is used, the specific sense (postal service) is the intended meaning unless it's metaphorical, which this is not.

6.  **Formatting:** Return JSON with sense_index 1.

4.  **Select the Best Sense**: Sense 1 corresponds to a bank check, which is exactly what one mails to pay bills or support (maintenance). The context of "mailed", "monthly", and "separate maintenance" points definitively to a financial instrument.

5.  **Format Output**: The instructions require a JSON object like `{"sense_index": 3}`. I need to map the chosen sense (Sense 1 in the list provided) to the index. The list is numbered 1 through 13.
    *   Item 1 is `sense_key=check%1:21:00::`.
    *   Therefore, the index is 1.

    Wait, let me double-check the list numbering in the prompt.
    1. check%1:21:00:: (bank check)
    2. check%1:09:00:: (appraisal)
    ...
    Yes, the correct definition is at index 1.

Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate <t>maintenance</t> to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: maintenance
    *   Context clues:
        *   "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly"
        *   "monthly check" implies financial support.
        *   "separate maintenance" is a specific legal term.
        *   "wife Lolly" implies a spousal relationship.
        *   The character is mailing a check to his wife.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "activity involved in maintaining something in good working order" (synonyms: care, upkeep). Example: car care. -> Fits repairing things or keeping objects functional. Does not fit mailing a check to a wife.
    *   **Sense 2:** "means of maintenance of a family or group". -> This is usually about resources/finances generally, but often refers to the *means* (like food/money) rather than the specific legal obligation of a separated spouse paying the other. It's close in the semantic field of financial support, but Sense 3 is more specific to the context.
    *   **Sense 3:** "court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated" (synonyms: alimony). -> The context mentions "separate maintenance" (a legal term for support paid by one spouse to another when they are living apart but not divorced). Mailing a monthly check to a wife fits this definition perfectly.
    *   **Sense 4:** "the act of sustaining life by food or providing a means of subsistence" (synonyms: sustenance). -> Fits biological survival or basic subsistence, not a legal check.
    *   **Sense 5:** "the unauthorized interference in a legal action...". -> Legal jargon, not relevant here.

3.  **Compare Context to Senses:**
    *   The phrase "separate maintenance" is a legal term.
    *   The action is "mailed the monthly check".
    *   The recipient is "his wife Lolly".
    *   Sense 3 explicitly mentions "support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated".
    *   "Separate maintenance" is synonymous with alimony or spousal support during separation.

4.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   Sense 3 is the exact match for financial support paid to a separated spouse.

5.  **Format the output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   Since the list starts with 1, I need to count the index.
    *   Sense 1 is index 1.
    *   Sense 2 is index 2.
    *   Sense 3 is index 3.
    *   Sense 4 is index 4.
    *   Sense 5 is index 5.
    *   The chosen sense is Sense 3.

6.  **Final Check:**
    *   Context: "monthly check... to his wife"
    *   Sense 3 definition: "court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another"
    *   Match: Excellent.
