reasoning_content:
The target word is "home" in the context: "I couldn't decide if I should come home to Marin, because my house is on stilts."

The person is deciding whether to go back to their place of residence in Marin. "Come home to Marin" refers to the place where they live.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. where you live at a particular time - "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to"
2. housing that someone is living in - dwelling, domicile, etc.
3. the country or state or city where you live - "his home is New Jersey"
4. baseball home plate
5. the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end
6. place where something began and flourished
7. an environment offering affection and security
8. a social unit living together - family, household
9. an institution where people are cared for

The context says "come home to Marin" - Marin is a place (Marin County, California). The person is referring to Marin as their home, meaning the place/city/area where they live.

Sense 3 seems most appropriate: "the country or state or city where you live" with example "his home is New Jersey." Marin is a geographic area (county) where this person lives, similar to how New Jersey is a state where someone lives.

But wait, let me also consider sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" with examples "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to." This is more about the physical place of residence.

And sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" - this is about the physical dwelling.

The phrase "come home to Marin" uses "home" to refer to the geographic area where the person lives. The person is in Oakland and considering going to Marin, which is where their home is. This aligns well with sense 3 (the country or state or city where you live), as Marin is a geographic location similar to how New Jersey is in the example.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Come home to Marin" - the person is referring to returning to their place of residence. Marin is the location. But the word "home" here is being used to refer to the place where they live.

Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" - this could work, but the examples suggest a more specific physical location (like a house address).

Sense 3: "the country or state or city where you live" - Marin is a county/area, and the example "his home is New Jersey" is very similar to "come home to Marin."

I think sense 3 is the best fit because "Marin" is a geographic area (like a city or county), and the usage "home to Marin" parallels the example "his home is New Jersey."

Wait, but let me reconsider sense 1 again. "Where you live at a particular time" - the examples are "deliver the package to my home" and "he doesn't have a home to go to." These seem more about the physical residence.

In the context, "come home to Marin" - the person is talking about returning to their home, which is in Marin. The emphasis seems to be on the geographic location (Marin) rather than the specific dwelling.

Actually, I think the key distinction is:
- Sense 1 is about the physical place where you live (your residence)
- Sense 3 is about the geographic area (city, state, country) where you live

"Come home to Marin" - Marin is the geographic area. The person is saying their home is in Marin, similar to "his home is New Jersey."

I'll go with sense 3.

Hmm, but actually, let me reconsider once more. The sentence is "I couldn't decide if I should come home to Marin." The "to Marin" specifies where home is. So "home" here is the person's residence/living place, and "to Marin" further specifies the location.

In this case, "come home" means to return to one's place of living. The fact that it's in Marin is additional information.

Looking at sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" with examples "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to" - this seems to fit "come home" meaning return to where one lives.

But sense 3: "the country or state or city where you live" with example "his home is New Jersey" - this also fits because Marin is a geographic area.

I think the distinction is subtle. In "come home to Marin," the word "home" could be interpreted as:
1. The physical residence (sense 1 or 2)
2. The geographic area (sense 3)

Since the sentence specifically mentions "to Marin" (a geographic area), and the example for sense 3 is "his home is New Jersey" (also a geographic area), I think sense 3 is the best fit.

Actually, let me look at this more carefully. "Come home to Marin" - if "home" meant the geographic area, it would be redundant with "to Marin." The structure suggests "home" is the destination, and "to Marin" specifies where that home is.

Compare:
- "Come home" = return to where I live
- "Come home to Marin" = return to where I live, which is in Marin

This seems more like sense 1 (where you live at a particular time) because "home" refers to the person's living place, and "to Marin" is specifying the location.

But then again, "his home is New Jersey" from sense 3 also works because "home" = the place where you live, and "New Jersey" specifies it.

I think the key difference between sense 1 and sense 3 is:
- Sense 1: the physical place of residence (like a house or apartment)
- Sense 3: the broader geographic area (city, state, country)

In "come home to Marin," since Marin is a geographic area (county), and the person is referring to it as their home, sense 3 seems appropriate.

But I could also argue for sense 1 because "come home" generally means return to one's residence.

Let me look at the examples again:
- Sense 1: "deliver the package to my home" (physical address), "he doesn't have a home to go to" (place to live)
- Sense 3: "Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home" (domestic market), "his home is New Jersey" (geographic location)

The second example for sense 3, "his home is New Jersey," is very similar to "come home to Marin" - both use "home" to refer to a geographic area where one lives.

I'll go with sense 3.

Wait, actually, I want to reconsider one more time. Let me think about what "come home to Marin" really means.

"Come home" = return to my home
"to Marin" = specifying the location

If I say "I'm going home to New York," "home" refers to my place of living, and "to New York" specifies where. This could be either sense 1 or sense 3.

But the example "his home is New Jersey" clearly equates "home" with the geographic location.

In "come home to Marin," the structure is different - "home" is the destination, and "to Marin" specifies it. This is more like "deliver the package to my home" (sense 1) where "home" is the destination.

Hmm, but "deliver the package to my home" uses "home" as the actual address/location, whereas "come home to Marin" uses "home" more abstractly as the concept of one's living place, with "Marin" providing the specific location.

I think I'm overanalyzing this. Let me just decide:

The context is about someone deciding whether to return to their home in Marin during a storm. "Home" here refers to the place where they live. Marin is a geographic area (county).

Sense 3 ("the country or state or city where you live") with the example "his home is New Jersey" seems to be the best fit because Marin is a geographic area, similar to New Jersey.

Final answer: sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "smell" in the context: "There was a horrible smell of gas as I passed the Chevron refinery before crossing the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge."
Here, "smell" refers to the odor of gas perceived by the narrator.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. smell%1:09:02:: | definition=the sensation that results when olfactory receptors in the nose are stimulated by particular chemicals in gaseous form | synonyms=odor, odour, olfactory sensation, olfactory perception | examples=she loved the smell of roses
2. smell%1:07:00:: | definition=any property detected by the olfactory system | synonyms=olfactory property, aroma, odor, odour, scent
3. smell%1:26:00:: | definition=the general atmosphere of a place or situation and the effect that it has on people | synonyms=spirit, tone, feel, feeling, flavor, flavour | examples=the feel of the city excited him; a clergyman improved the tone of the meeting

5. smell%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of perceiving the odor of something | synonyms=smelling

In the context "a horrible smell of gas", "smell" means the odor itself, the sensation perceived. "She loved the smell of roses" corresponds exactly to "a horrible smell of gas".
So sense 1 is the correct choice.
Let's double check sense 1 vs 2. Sense 1 is "the sensation that results...", sense 2 is "any property detected...". Usually, "smell of gas" refers to the odor itself, which aligns perfectly with sense 1 ("the smell of roses").

reasoning_content:
The context mentions a "horrible smell of gas" near a Chevron refinery. Refineries process petroleum and natural gas. The smell near a refinery could be from natural gas or petroleum gases. Let me think about which sense fits best.

Sense 3 is gasoline/petrol - a volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. Sense 6 is natural gas - a fossil fuel in the gaseous state used for cooking and heating.

Near a refinery, the smell of gas could be either, but refineries are primarily associated with petroleum processing (gasoline). However, the word "gas" here refers to the smell - you can smell gas (the gaseous substance) near a refinery.

Actually, refineries process crude oil into various products including gasoline. The smell near a refinery is typically from petroleum-derived volatile compounds. But "gas" in the context of a smell near a refinery most likely refers to natural gas (sense 6) or gasoline vapor (sense 3).

Hmm, but when people say "I smell gas" near a refinery, they usually mean the gaseous petroleum products or natural gas. The Chevron refinery processes crude oil into gasoline and other products. The "smell of gas" near a refinery most commonly refers to the petroleum gases/natural gas that are byproducts or products of refining.

I think sense 3 (gasoline) is more likely because Chevron is a petroleum company, and refineries produce gasoline. But the smell itself would be from the volatile hydrocarbons in gasoline.

Actually, let me reconsider. The smell near a refinery is often sulfur compounds and various hydrocarbon gases. When someone says "smell of gas" near a refinery, they could mean natural gas (which is odorized with mercaptans for safety) or gasoline vapors.

Given that this is near a Chevron refinery specifically, and Chevron is known for petroleum/gasoline, I think sense 3 (gasoline/petrol) is the best fit. The volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum - this is what refineries produce.

Wait, but "gasoline" is typically a liquid at room temperature. You smell it because it's volatile, but it's not in a "gaseous state" per se. The smell near a refinery could be from various petroleum gases.

Let me reconsider sense 6 - natural gas. Natural gas is actually in the gaseous state and is associated with petroleum refining. Refineries do process natural gas.

But actually, when people talk about smelling "gas" near a refinery, they're usually referring to the petroleum/natural gas smell.

I think sense 6 (natural gas) might be the better fit because:
1. It's a fossil fuel in the gaseous state
2. It's associated with petroleum operations
3. The smell would be from the odorized natural gas

But sense 3 is also plausible because Chevron is primarily a gasoline/petroleum company.

Hmm, let me think about this differently. The person is driving past a Chevron refinery. The "smell of gas" - in American English, "gas" colloquially often refers to gasoline (sense 3). Near a refinery that produces gasoline, smelling "gas" would most naturally refer to gasoline vapors.

I'll go with sense 3.

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider once more. The refinery would be processing crude oil and producing various products. The smell could be from many sources. But the most common interpretation of "smell of gas" near a refinery in American English would be gasoline (petrol) vapors.

Sense 3 seems like the best fit: "a volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum; used mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines" with synonyms gasoline, gasolene, petrol.

But actually, thinking about it more carefully - refineries don't just produce gasoline. They also process natural gas. And the "smell of gas" near a refinery could be natural gas leaks or emissions. Natural gas is odorized with mercaptans specifically so people can smell it.

Hmm, but in common American usage, when someone says "I smell gas" near a refinery, I think they typically mean gasoline fumes, not natural gas. The word "gas" in American English most commonly refers to gasoline when used in a fuel/automotive context, and near a refinery is definitely a fuel context.

I'll go with sense 3.

Wait, one more consideration. The definition of sense 3 says "used mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines." The person is driving (passing the refinery), so the automotive context reinforces this interpretation.

Final answer: sense 3.

The context is: "There was a horrible smell of gas as I passed the Chevron refinery before crossing the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge."

Here, "passed" means the person traveled past the Chevron refinery. They were driving/riding by the refinery.

Sense 2: "move past" with synonyms "travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by" and examples "A black limousine passed by when she looked out the window; He passed his professor in the hall"

This fits perfectly - the person moved past the refinery while traveling.

Sense 7: "travel past" with synonyms "overtake, overhaul" and example "The sports car passed all the trucks" - this implies overtaking/surpassing, which doesn't fit here.

Sense 1: "go across or through" - the person isn't going through the refinery, they're going past it.

So sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "crossing" in the context: "before crossing the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge."

The person is driving/traveling and passing over/going across the bridge.

Let's look at the candidates:

1. cross%2:38:00:: - travel across or pass over - synonyms: traverse, track, cover, pass over, get over, get across - examples: "The caravan covered almost 100 miles each day"
5. cross%2:42:00:: - to cover or extend over an area or time period - synonyms: traverse, span, sweep - examples: "Rivers traverse the valley floor; The parking lot spans 3 acres"

Sense 1 is about traveling across or passing over something (like a bridge). This fits "crossing the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge" — the person is traveling across the bridge.

Sense 5 is about covering or extending over an area (like a river traversing a valley). This is more about something spanning/extending over an area, not about a person traveling across.

So sense 1 is the best fit. The person is traveling across the bridge.

The answer is sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "I could also see the clouds across the bay from the horrible fire in the Marina District of San Francisco."

Here, "see" means to perceive by sight - the narrator is visually observing the clouds from the fire. This is the basic visual perception sense.

Sense 1: perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight - "You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?"

This fits perfectly. The narrator is physically seeing (with their eyes) the clouds across the bay.

Sense 3 (perceive or be contemporaneous with - witness) could also be considered, as they are witnessing the fire. But the primary meaning here is simple visual perception - they could "see the clouds," which is about visual perception, not about witnessing an event.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context mentions "clouds across the bay from the horrible fire in the Marina District." These clouds are from a fire, meaning they are smoke clouds - a collection of particles (smoke) that is visible.

Sense 1: "any collection of particles (e.g., smoke or dust) or gases that is visible" - this fits because the clouds are from a fire, so they are smoke clouds.

Sense 2: "a visible mass of water or ice particles suspended at a considerable altitude" - this is for weather clouds, not smoke clouds.

The context clearly indicates the clouds are from the fire, so they are smoke clouds, which matches sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a "horrible fire in the Marina District of San Francisco" following what appears to be an earthquake (mentions aftershocks, building cracking). This is referring to an actual burning event - a destructive fire.

Sense 1: "the event of something burning (often destructive)" with example "they lost everything in the fire" - this fits well. The fire in the Marina District after the Loma Prieta earthquake was a destructive burning event.

Sense 3: "the process of combustion of inflammable materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke" - this is more about fire as a process/phenomenon.

The context describes a specific destructive fire event in a district, so sense 1 seems most appropriate.

reasoning_content:
The context: "I have felt many aftershocks." The speaker is talking about experiencing earthquakes (aftershocks). This is a physical sensation - perceiving the shaking of the earth through physical sensation.

Sense 3: "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles" - examples: "He felt the wind; She felt an object brushing her arm" - This fits "felt aftershocks" - perceiving the shaking physically.

Sense 6: "undergo passive experience of:" - examples: "We felt the effects of inflation; her fingers felt their way through the string quartet" - This could also fit, as aftershocks are something passively experienced.

Between sense 3 and sense 6: "felt many aftershocks" - aftershocks are physical seismic events that you physically feel through your body (the ground shaking). This is perceiving by physical sensation. Sense 3 seems like the best fit - perceiving the aftershocks through physical sensation.

Sense 6 is about undergoing passive experience, with examples like "felt the effects of inflation" which is more abstract. The aftershocks are physical sensations.

I'll go with sense 3.

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

reasoning_content:
The context says "My back is still in knots and my hands are still shaking." This refers to the human body part - the back of a person. The phrase "back in knots" refers to muscle tension in the back. This is clearly referring to the anatomical back of a human body.

Sense 1: "the posterior part of a human (or animal) body from the neck to the end of the spine" with example "his back was nicely tanned" - this fits well.

Sense 5: "the series of vertebrae forming the axis of the skeleton and protecting the spinal cord" with synonyms "spinal column, vertebral column, spine, backbone, rachis" and example "the fall broke his back" - this is more about the spine/vertebrae specifically.

"My back is still in knots" - this refers to the back as a body part where muscles can get tense/knotted. This is more aligned with sense 1 (the posterior part of the body) rather than sense 5 (the vertebral column specifically). "In knots" suggests muscle tension, which relates to the back as a body region, not specifically the spine.

So sense 1 is the best fit.

The context is: "My back is still in knots and my hands are still shaking." Here "hands" refers to the physical extremities at the end of the arms, which are shaking due to fear/stress from the earthquake aftershocks.

Sense 1: "the (prehensile) extremity of the superior limb" with examples "he had the hands of a surgeon; he extended his mitt" and synonyms "manus, mitt, paw". This is the basic anatomical sense of hand.

This clearly matches sense 1.

Looking at the context: "My back is still in knots and my hands are still shaking. I think a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking."

The narrator is describing involuntary trembling of their hands and body due to fear and stress from the earthquake. The comparison to aftershocks — "a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking" — explicitly frames the shaking as tremor-like. This is a bodily, physiological trembling response, not a general back-and-forth motion (like shaking a flask) or a deliberate communicative gesture.

Sense 2 ("move with or as if with a tremor," synonym *didder*, example "his hands shook") precisely captures this involuntary, tremor-like bodily shaking. The lexicographer file classification (verb.body) also aligns with the physiological nature of the trembling described.

{"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "shaking" in the context: "My back is still in knots and my hands are still shaking. I think a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking."

The context is about experiencing earthquakes/aftershocks, and the person's hands are shaking due to fear/nervousness/trauma. The shaking is involuntary trembling.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. shake%2:38:00:: - move or cause to move back and forth - examples: "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking"
2. shake%2:29:00:: - move with or as if with a tremor - examples: "his hands shook"
3. shake%2:38:01:: - shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively - examples: "The old engine was juddering"
4. shake%2:38:02:: - move back and forth or sideways - examples: "the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed"
5. shake%2:30:00:: - undermine or cause to waver
6. shake%2:37:00:: - stir the feelings, emotions, or peace of
7. shake%2:38:04:: - get rid of
8. shake%2:30:01:: - bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking
9. shake%2:32:00:: - shake (a body part) to communicate a greeting, feeling, or cognitive state

The context is about hands shaking and body shaking involuntarily, likely due to fear/stress from earthquakes.

Sense 1 has "My hands were shaking" as an example, which matches perfectly. The definition is "move or cause to move back and forth."

Sense 2 has "his hands shook" as an example, with definition "move with or as if with a tremor."

Both sense 1 and sense 2 seem relevant. Let me think about which is better.

Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::) - "move or cause to move back and forth" - includes the example "My hands were shaking" which is almost identical to the context.
Sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::) - "move with or as if with a tremor" - includes "his hands shook."

The context mentions "my hands are still shaking" and "my body shaking" - this is trembling due to fear/stress from the earthquake experience.

Sense 2's definition "move with or as if with a tremor" seems more specific to involuntary trembling, which fits the context of hands shaking from fear/stress. The synonym "didder" means to tremble or shiver.

However, sense 1 has the exact example "My hands were shaking" which matches the context almost word for word.

I think sense 2 might be more precise because it specifically refers to trembling/tremor, which is what's happening here - the person's hands are shaking due to fear/stress, not just moving back and forth. The word "tremor" in the definition is particularly relevant given the earthquake context.

But wait, let me reconsider. The context also says "I think a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking." This suggests the body shaking is like a tremor, similar to earthquake aftershocks. This strongly supports sense 2 with its "tremor" definition.

Actually, looking more carefully:

Sense 1: "move or cause to move back and forth" - this is a more general sense, and the example "My hands were shaking" is directly relevant.
Sense 2: "move with or as if with a tremor" - this specifically refers to trembling, and "his hands shook" is the example.

The context is about hands shaking from fear/stress after an earthquake. The shaking is involuntary trembling. Sense 2's definition specifically mentions "tremor" which is exactly what this is - and the word "tremor" connects to the earthquake aftershocks context.

I'll go with sense 2, as it specifically captures the trembling aspect, and the synonym "didder" (to tremble) and the definition "move with or as if with a tremor" better fit the involuntary shaking from fear/stress.

Wait, but sense 1 has the exact example "My hands were shaking" - this is almost verbatim from the context. Let me reconsider.

In WordNet, the examples are meant to illustrate the sense. The fact that sense 1 has "My hands were shaking" as an example suggests that this usage falls under sense 1.

But sense 2 also has "his hands shook" which is essentially the same usage.

Let me think about the semantic distinction:
- Sense 1: "move or cause to move back and forth" - this could be intentional or unintentional, like shaking a flask or hands shaking
- Sense 2: "move with or as if with a tremor" - this specifically refers to trembling, like from cold, fear, or age

In the context, the hands are shaking due to stress/fear from the earthquake experience. This is trembling, which aligns with sense 2.

However, the example in sense 1 "My hands were shaking" is very close to the context "my hands are still shaking."

I think I need to consider which sense better captures the meaning. The context describes:
1. Hands shaking (involuntary, from stress)
2. Body shaking (also involuntary, like aftershocks)

The fact that the person compares their body shaking to earthquake aftershocks suggests this is trembling/tremor-like shaking, which supports sense 2.

But the example match for sense 1 is very compelling.

Let me look at the sense keys more carefully:
- Sense 1: shake%2:38:00:: - the "2:38" suggests this is in the "motion" domain
- Sense 2: shake%2:29:00:: - the "2:29" suggests this is in a different domain (possibly "body" or "physiological")

In WordNet, the second number in the sense key often relates to the synset domain or category. 2:38 typically relates to motion verbs, while 2:29 might relate to body/physiological verbs.

Given that the context is about the body's physiological response (hands and body shaking from stress/fear), sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::) with its "tremor" definition and "his hands shook" example seems more appropriate.

Actually, I just realized I should look at this more carefully. In WordNet 3.0:
- shake%2:38:00:: is the general "move or cause to move back and forth" sense
- shake%2:29:00:: is "move with or as if with a tremor" - this is specifically about trembling

The context describes involuntary trembling of hands and body due to fear/stress. This is more specifically a tremor than just general back-and-forth movement.

I'll go with sense 2.

Hmm, but actually let me reconsider once more. The example "My hands were shaking" in sense 1 is very directly matching. In WordNet, examples are chosen to illustrate the specific sense. If "My hands were shaking" is the example for sense 1, then according to WordNet, this usage belongs to sense 1.

But "his hands shook" is the example for sense 2, which is essentially the same thing.

The distinction seems to be:
- Sense 1: general shaking motion (back and forth)
- Sense 2: trembling, specifically with a tremor quality

The context involves hands shaking from stress/fear - this is trembling. The comparison to aftershocks reinforces the "tremor" quality.

I'll go with sense 2.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. Let me look at the WordNet hierarchy more carefully.

In WordNet 3.0:
- shake%2:38:00:: (move or cause to move back and forth) - this is a general motion sense, hyponyms include things like "flap," "vibrate," etc.
- shake%2:29:00:: (move with or as if with a tremor) - this is in the "body" domain, specifically about physical trembling

The context is about the body's response - hands and body shaking. This is a physiological response, not just a general motion. Sense 2 captures this better.

Final answer: sense 2.

Wait, I want to check one more thing. The synonym for sense 2 is "didder" which means to tremble or shiver, typically from cold or fear. This aligns with the context of shaking from fear/stress after the earthquake.

I'm confident in choosing sense 2.

Actually, let me reconsider one final time. I've been going back and forth, so let me be more systematic.

Context: "My back is still in knots and my hands are still shaking. I think a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking."

Key aspects:
1. Hands shaking - involuntary, from stress
2. Body shaking - compared to earthquake aftershocks
3. The shaking is due to fear/stress from the earthquake experience

Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::):
- Definition: "move or cause to move back and forth"
- Synonyms: agitate
- Examples: "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking"
- This is a general motion sense

Sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::):
- Definition: "move with or as if with a tremor"
- Synonyms: didder
- Examples: "his hands shook"
- This specifically refers to trembling

The context describes trembling from stress/fear. The word "tremor" in sense 2's definition is particularly apt given the earthquake context. The synonym "didder" means to tremble from fear or cold.

However, sense 1 has the example "My hands were shaking" which is almost identical to the context.

In WordNet, when a lemma has multiple senses, the examples are meant to illustrate the specific sense. The fact that "My hands were shaking" appears as an example for sense 1 suggests that WordNet considers this usage to belong to sense 1.

But "his hands shook" appears as an example for sense 2, which is essentially the same usage.

This is a tricky case. Let me think about what distinguishes the two senses:
- Sense 1 is about general back-and-forth motion (could be intentional or unintentional)
- Sense 2 is specifically about trembling (involuntary, typically from fear, cold, age, etc.)

The context clearly describes involuntary trembling from stress/fear. This fits sense 2 better.

But the example "My hands were shaking" in sense 1 complicates things. Perhaps WordNet includes this example in sense 1 because hands shaking can be seen as a general back-and-forth motion, while sense 2 is more specifically about the tremor quality (like from cold or Parkinson's).

Actually, in many WordNet annotations, "my hands are shaking" from fear/stress is typically annotated as sense 1 (the general motion sense), because it's the most common sense for this usage. Sense 2 (with "didder") might be more specifically about trembling from cold or physiological conditions.

Let me reconsider. The synonym "didder" is quite rare and typically refers to trembling from cold. The context is about shaking from fear/stress, not cold.

Hmm, but the definition of sense 2 is "move with or as if with a tremor" - this doesn't specify the cause. It could be from fear, stress, cold, etc.

I think the key distinction is:
- Sense 1: general shaking motion (the most common sense, includes hands shaking)
- Sense 2: specifically trembling/quivering motion (more specific, with tremor quality)

Given that the context describes hands and body shaking from stress/fear, and the shaking is compared to earthquake aftershocks (which are tremors), I think sense 2 is more appropriate.

But I keep going back and forth. Let me make a final decision.

The context: "my hands are still shaking" and "my body shaking" - this is trembling from fear/stress.

Sense 1 has "My hands were shaking" as an example - this is almost identical to the context.
Sense 2 has "his hands shook" as an example - also very similar.

The definition of sense 2 "move with or as if with a tremor" better captures the involuntary trembling quality of the shaking in the context.

I'll go with sense 2.

No wait. Let me reconsider one more time.

Looking at the WordNet senses more carefully:

Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::): "move or cause to move back and forth"
- This is the most general sense of shake
- Examples include both transitive ("The chemist shook the flask") and intransitive ("My hands were shaking") uses
- Synonym: agitate

Sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::): "move with or as if with a tremor"
- This specifically refers to trembling
- Example: "his hands shook"
- Synonym: didder (which means to tremble, shiver)

The context "my hands are still shaking" and "my body shaking" describes trembling from fear/stress after an earthquake. This is involuntary trembling.

Both senses could apply, but:
- Sense 1 is more general and includes the exact example "My hands were shaking"
- Sense 2 is more specific to trembling and has "his hands shook"

The question is: does the context describe general shaking (sense 1) or specifically trembling (sense 2)?

The context mentions:
1. Hands shaking from stress (back in knots)
2. Body shaking, compared to aftershocks

The comparison to aftershocks suggests the shaking has a tremor-like quality, which supports sense 2.

But the example match for sense 1 is very strong.

In WordNet sense disambiguation, when the context matches an example almost exactly, that's usually a strong signal for that sense.

"My hands were shaking" (sense 1 example) vs. "my hands are still shaking" (context) - this is almost a verbatim match.

I think I should go with sense 1, given the very strong example match.

But wait, "his hands shook" (sense 2 example) is also very similar to the context.

Let me think about this differently. What is the core meaning being expressed?

The person's hands are shaking from fear/stress. This is:
- Involuntary
- A trembling motion
- Due to emotional/physical stress

Sense 1 definition: "move or cause to move back and forth" - this is general and doesn't specifically capture the involuntary trembling quality.

Sense 2 definition: "move with or as if with a tremor" - this specifically captures the trembling quality.

The context emphasizes the involuntary, stress-induced nature of the shaking. The comparison to aftershocks (tremors) further supports the "tremor" aspect.

I think sense 2 is the better choice, despite the strong example match for sense 1.

Final answer: sense 2.

Hmm, but I'm still not 100% sure. Let me think about this one more time.

In WordNet, the senses are ordered by frequency (in lexicographer files), with the most common sense typically listed first. Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::) is the most general and common sense.

The example "My hands were shaking" in sense 1 suggests that WordNet lexicographers consider this common usage to belong to the general motion sense.

However, sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::) specifically addresses trembling, and "his hands shook" is given as an example.

The distinction between the two senses in the context of hands shaking:
- Sense 1: hands shaking as a general back-and-forth motion
- Sense 2: hands shaking as a tremor (involuntary trembling)

In the context, the hands are shaking from fear/stress. This is involuntary trembling, which is more specifically captured by sense 2.

But WordNet includes "My hands were shaking" as an example for sense 1, which suggests that this common usage (hands shaking from emotion) is considered to belong to sense 1.

This is a genuinely ambiguous case. But I think the specific "tremor" quality of the shaking in the context (especially with the comparison to aftershocks) tips the balance toward sense 2.

Actually, you know what, let me reconsider the context one more time:

"My back is still in knots and my hands are still shaking. I think a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking."

The person is:
1. Physically stressed (back in knots)
2. Hands shaking (from stress/fear)
3. Body shaking (so much that they can't tell if it's an aftershock or just their body)

The comparison "a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking" suggests the body shaking is similar to earthquake tremors. This strongly supports the "tremor" definition of sense 2.

I'm going with sense 2.

Final answer: sense_index 2.

Hmm, actually I realize I should think about this more carefully. Let me look at the WordNet senses one more time.

In WordNet 3.0, the verb "shake" has several senses. Let me focus on senses 1 and 2:

Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::): "move or cause to move back and forth"
- This is the most general sense
- Synonyms: agitate
- Examples: "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking"

Sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::): "move with or as if with a tremor"
- This is specifically about trembling
- Synonyms: didder
- Examples: "his hands shook"

The key question is: when someone's hands are shaking from fear/stress, which sense does this belong to?

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 includes "My hands were shaking" - this could be from fear, stress, cold, etc.
- Sense 2 includes "his hands shook" - this is also about hands trembling

The fact that both senses include examples of hands shaking suggests that the distinction is subtle.

Let me think about what "didder" means. "Didder" is a rare word that means to tremble or shiver, typically from cold. This suggests that sense 2 is more about trembling from physiological causes (cold, illness, etc.) rather than from emotional causes (fear, stress).

If that's the case, then hands shaking from fear/stress (as in the context) would belong to sense 1, not sense 2.

But the definition of sense 2 is "move with or as if with a tremor" - this doesn't specify the cause. It could be from fear, stress, cold, etc.

Hmm, this is tricky. Let me try a different approach.

The context: "my hands are still shaking" and "my body shaking"

Sense 1 has the example "My hands were shaking" - almost verbatim match with the context.
Sense 2 has the example "his hands shook" - also about hands shaking.

In WordNet, when two senses have very similar examples, the distinction is usually in the specific quality of the action. Sense 1 is about general back-and-forth motion, while sense 2 is about trembling/tremor.

The context describes shaking from fear/stress, which is a common usage. The example "My hands were shaking" in sense 1 suggests that this common usage belongs to sense 1.

I think I should go with sense 1, given:
1. The almost verbatim example match ("My hands were shaking" vs. "my hands are still shaking")
2. The general nature of sense 1, which covers the common usage of "shaking" for hands trembling from emotion
3. Sense 2 (with "didder") might be more specifically about trembling from physiological causes (cold, illness)

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider. The synonym "didder" might not necessarily be limited to cold. Let me think about this more.

"Didder" is defined in dictionaries as "to tremble or shiver, especially from cold or fear." So it can be from fear too.

And the definition of sense 2 is "move with or as if with a tremor" - this is broad enough to include trembling from any cause.

The context describes:
- Hands shaking from stress/fear (after earthquake)
- Body shaking, compared to aftershocks

The "tremor" aspect is emphasized by the comparison to aftershocks. This supports sense 2.

But the example match for sense 1 is very strong.

OK, I need to make a decision. Let me weigh the evidence:

For sense 1:
- Almost verbatim example match ("My hands were shaking" vs. "my hands are still shaking")
- More general sense, likely covers common usage

For sense 2:
- Definition "move with or as if with a tremor" better captures the trembling quality
- Comparison to aftershocks in the context supports the "tremor" aspect
- Synonym "didder" can refer to trembling from fear

I think the comparison to aftershocks is the key. The person is saying their body is shaking so much that it feels like earthquake aftershocks. This "tremor" quality is specifically captured by sense 2's definition.

But the example match for sense 1 is really strong. In WSD, example matches are typically given high weight.

Ugh, this is a genuinely difficult case. Let me try to think about what a WordNet lexicographer would say.

If I were annotating this context, I would consider:
1. The shaking is involuntary trembling from fear/stress
2. The comparison to aftershocks emphasizes the "tremor" quality
3. The example "My hands were shaking" in sense 1 is almost verbatim

I think the verbatim example match is the strongest signal. WordNet lexicographers specifically chose "My hands were shaking" as an example for sense 1, which means they consider this usage to belong to sense 1.

The "tremor" aspect of sense 2 might refer more to physiological trembling (like from cold, illness, or Parkinson's) rather than emotional trembling (from fear/stress).

I'm going to change my answer to sense 1.

Wait, no. Let me think about this one more time.

The context says: "I think a few of the aftershocks might just be my body shaking."

This means the person's body is shaking involuntarily, and the shaking is so pronounced that it feels like earthquake tremors. This is specifically about trembling, not just general back-and-forth motion.

Sense 2's definition "move with or as if with a tremor" directly captures this. The word "tremor" is key - it refers to involuntary shaking, often from physiological or emotional causes.

Sense 1's definition "move or cause to move back and forth" is more general and doesn't specifically capture the involuntary trembling quality.

While the example match for sense 1 is strong, the definition of sense 2 better fits the specific meaning in the context.

I'm going with sense 2.

OK, final answer: sense 2.

No, wait. I keep going back and forth. Let me try to be more decisive.

The key factors:
1. Example match: Sense 1 has "My hands were shaking" which is almost verbatim from the context. This is a very strong signal.
2. Definition fit: Sense 2's "move with or as if with a tremor" better captures the involuntary trembling quality.
3. Context: The comparison to aftershocks supports the "tremor" aspect.

In WordNet WSD, example matches are typically given high weight. The fact that "My hands were shaking" is an example for sense 1 is a very strong signal that this usage belongs to sense 1.

However, the definition of sense 2 better fits the specific meaning in the context.

I think I need to consider: what is the core meaning being expressed? The person's hands and body are shaking from fear/stress. Is this:
a) General back-and-forth motion (sense 1)
b) Trembling/tremor (sense 2)

The answer is (b) - trembling. The shaking is involuntary, from stress/fear, and is compared to earthquake tremors. This is specifically trembling, not just general motion.

But WordNet includes "My hands were shaking" as an example for sense 1. This suggests that the common usage of "hands shaking" (from any cause, including fear/stress) belongs to sense 1.

The question is: is the context describing a specific type of trembling that would fall under sense 2, or is it the common usage of "shaking" that falls under sense 1?

I think the context is describing the common usage - hands shaking from fear/stress. The comparison to aftershocks is just a metaphor, not indicating that the shaking is literally a "tremor" in the medical/physiological sense.

Given the strong example match, I'll go with sense 1.

No, actually, I don't think the comparison to aftershocks is just a metaphor. The person is saying their body is physically shaking so much that it feels like an earthquake. This is literal trembling, not metaphorical.

OK, I need to make a final decision and stick with it.

The context: "my hands are still shaking" and "my body shaking" - this is involuntary trembling from fear/stress.

Sense 1: "move or cause to move back and forth" - general motion, example "My hands were shaking"
Sense 2: "move with or as if with a tremor" - trembling, example "his hands shook"

The context describes trembling, which is specifically captured by sense 2's definition. The comparison to aftershocks (tremors) further supports this.

While the example match for sense 1 is strong, the definition of sense 2 better fits the meaning in the context.

Final answer: sense 2.

I'm going with sense 2. Let me not change my mind again.

Actually, one more consideration. Let me look at the sense keys more carefully:

- Sense 1: shake%2:38:00:: - the "2:38" suggests this is in the "motion" verb class (38 in WordNet lexicographer files corresponds to "motion" verbs)
- Sense 2: shake%2:29:00:: - the "2:29" suggests this is in the "body" verb class (29 in WordNet lexicographer files corresponds to "body" verbs, which include physiological processes)

Wait, let me check this. In WordNet 3.0 lexicographer files:
- 29: verb.body - verbs of grooming, dressing, and bodily care
- 38: verb.motion - verbs of walking, flying, swimming, and other motion

Hmm, 29 is "verb.body" which includes physiological processes. This makes sense for sense 2, which is about trembling (a bodily function).

38 is "verb.motion" which is about general motion. This makes sense for sense 1, which is about general back-and-forth motion.

The context describes a bodily response - hands and body shaking from stress/fear. This is a physiological response, which aligns with the "verb.body" class (sense 2).

This further supports sense 2.

OK, I'm confident in my answer: sense 2.

Wait, actually I want to double-check the lexicographer file numbers. In WordNet 3.0:

Lexicographer file numbers for verbs:
- 29: verb.body - verbs of grooming, dressing, and bodily care
- 30: verb.change - verbs of size, temperature change, intensifying, etc.
- 31: verb.cognition - verbs of thinking, judging, analyzing, doubting
- 32: verb.communication - verbs of telling, asking, ordering, singing
- 33: verb.competition - verbs of fighting, athletic activities
- 34: verb.consumption - verbs of eating and drinking
- 35: verb.contact - verbs of touching, hitting, tying, digging
- 36: verb.creation - verbs of sewing, baking, painting, performing
- 37: verb.emotion - verbs of feeling
- 38: verb.motion - verbs of walking, flying, swimming
- 39: verb.perception - verbs of seeing, hearing, feeling
- 40: verb.possession - verbs of buying, selling, owning
- 41: verb.social - verbs of political and social activities and events
- 42: verb.stative - verbs of being, having, spatial relations
- 43: verb.weather - verbs of raining, snowing, thawing, thundering

So:
- Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::) is in verb.motion (38) - general motion
- Sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::) is in verb.body (29) - bodily care/processes

The context describes a bodily response (hands and body shaking from stress/fear), which aligns with verb.body (sense 2).

This confirms my choice: sense 2.

Final answer: sense_index 2.

Hmm, but actually, "verb.body" is defined as "verbs of grooming, dressing, and bodily care." Trembling from fear/stress isn't exactly "grooming, dressing, or bodily care." But it is a bodily process/function.

Let me check the actual WordNet entry for shake%2:29:00:: to see if it's really in verb.body.

Actually, I can't check the actual WordNet database right now, but the sense key format is: lemma%lex_sense_type:lex_id:head_word:lex_id

The "2:29" in shake%2:29:00:: means:
- 2: part of speech (verb)
- 29: lexicographer file number

If 29 is verb.body, then sense 2 is classified as a bodily verb, which makes sense for trembling.

OK, I'm going with sense 2. Final answer.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. I've been assuming that sense 2 is more specific to trembling, but let me check if that's really the case.

Sense 1 (shake%2:38:00::): "move or cause to move back and forth" - verb.motion
- Examples: "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking"
- This includes both transitive (shaking a flask) and intransitive (hands shaking) uses

Sense 2 (shake%2:29:00::): "move with or as if with a tremor" - verb.body
- Examples: "his hands shook"
- This is specifically about trembling

The context "my hands are still shaking" and "my body shaking" describes trembling from fear/stress. This is a bodily response, which aligns with verb.body (sense 2).

The example "My hands were shaking" in sense 1 is about hands shaking (could be from any cause), while "his hands shook" in sense 2 is specifically about trembling.

The context emphasizes:
1. The involuntary nature of the shaking (from stress/fear)
2. The comparison to aftershocks (tremors)

Both of these support sense 2.

I'm going with sense 2. This is my final answer.
