reasoning_content:
The target word is "begin" in the context: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine..."

Here, "begin" means the temblor (earthquake) started to happen. It's an intransitive use where the subject is the event itself (the temblor). The temblor "begins" = it has a beginning, it starts occurring.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. begin%2:30:00:: - "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - This is more about a person beginning an action. Examples: "We began working at dawn." This is transitive or involves an agent.

2. begin%2:42:00:: - "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - Examples: "The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro" - This is about something having a beginning in time/space.

3. begin%2:30:01:: - "set in motion, cause to start" - Transitive, causing something to start. Examples: "The U.S. started a war."

4. begin%2:32:03:: - "begin to speak or say" - Not relevant here.

5. begin%2:42:02:: - "be the first item or point, constitute the beginning" - Not relevant.

6. begin%2:42:04:: - "have a beginning, of a temporal event" - Examples: "WW II began in 1939; The company's Asia tour begins next month" - This is about a temporal event having a beginning.

7. begin%2:42:03:: - "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" - Examples: "The novel begins with a murder; My property begins with the three maple trees" - This is about how something begins.

8. begin%2:41:04:: - "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" - Examples: "begin a cigar; She started the soup" - Transitive, not relevant.

9. begin%2:41:00:: - "achieve or accomplish in the least degree" - Not relevant.

10. begin%2:32:04:: - "begin to speak, understand, read, and write a language" - Not relevant.

The key distinction is between senses 2 and 6. Sense 2 is "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" with examples like "The DMZ begins right over the hill" (spatial) and "The second movement begins after the Allegro" (temporal). Sense 6 is specifically "have a beginning, of a temporal event" with examples like "WW II began in 1939" and "The company's Asia tour begins next month."

The temblor (earthquake) is a temporal event that began. "I felt the temblor begin" - the earthquake started happening. This fits sense 6 best - "have a beginning, of a temporal event."

Sense 2 could also work, but it's broader (temporal, spatial, or evaluative), while sense 6 is specifically about temporal events, which is what a temblor is.

Actually, let me reconsider. The context says "I felt the temblor begin." The temblor is an event (an earthquake), and it "began" - it started occurring. Sense 6 seems most appropriate: "have a beginning, of a temporal event" with examples like "WW II began in 1939 when Hitler marched into Poland."

Yes, I'll go with sense 6.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "table" in the context: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled..."

The person is in a bar ("watering hole") waiting for a game. They glanced at "the table next to mine" - this refers to the physical piece of furniture (a table in a bar), not a group of people, not data, not a mesa, not food/meals.

Sense 2: "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs" - this fits best. The person is at a table (the furniture) in a bar, and glanced at the adjacent table (also furniture).

Sense 3 is about a table with tableware laid out for a meal - not quite right for a bar setting watching a game.

Sense 5 is about a company of people assembled - "the table next to mine" could refer to the people at the next table, but the phrasing "glanced at the table next to mine" more naturally refers to the physical furniture, though it could metonymically refer to the people. However, the primary sense here is the piece of furniture.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Glanced at the table next to mine" - they smiled and both mouthed words. This implies there were people at the next table. But "the table" here still primarily refers to the piece of furniture where people are sitting. In a bar, people sit at tables.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate - it's the general piece of furniture. Sense 3 is more specific about a meal being laid out. In a bar watching a game, it's just a table (furniture), sense 2.

Let me reconsider sense 5: "a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game" - the example is "he entertained the whole table." This is a metonymic usage where "table" refers to the people. In our context, "glanced at the table next to mine" - could this mean the people at the next table? It's possible, but the more natural reading is the physical table. When you "glance at the table," you're looking at the furniture (and possibly the people there).

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context describes someone smiling a "guilty smile" when an earthquake begins - they're in a bar and they share this knowing smile with someone else, both mouthing "Earth-quake!" together. This is not about being responsible for a crime or reprehensible act. It's about the expression - a smile that shows a sense of guilt, like the "guilty look" example. The person feels a kind of sheepish or knowing guilt, perhaps because they're recognizing the earthquake and there's something slightly thrilling or sheepish about it.

This matches sense 2: "showing a sense of guilt" with examples like "a guilty look" and synonyms like "hangdog, shamefaced, shamed."

The "guilty smile" is an expression showing a sense of guilt, not being guilty of a crime.

The target is "words" in the context: "we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!' together."

Here, "words" refers to the actual units of language that were mouthed/spoken: "Earth-quake!" These are the literal words being spoken.

Sense 1: "a unit of language that native speakers can identify" - examples: "words are the blocks from which sentences are made; he hardly said ten words all morning" - This fits well. They mouthed the words (units of language) "Earth-quake!"

Sense 2: "a brief statement" - example: "he didn't say a word about it" - This is more about a statement or remark, not the specific units of language being mouthed.

The context clearly refers to the actual words (units of language) "Earth-quake!" being mouthed. Sense 1 is the best fit.

The target word is "long" in the sentence "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass."
Here, "how long it takes" refers to the duration of time it takes for the temblors (earthquakes) to pass.
Looking at the senses:
1. sense_key=long%3:00:02:: | definition=primarily temporal sense; being or indicating a relatively great or greater than average duration or passage of time or a duration as specified | examples=a long life; a long boring speech
This fits perfectly, as "long" is modifying the duration of time it takes.
Sense 2 is spatial (a long road).
Sense 3 is height.
Sense 4 is memory.
Sense 5 is finance.
Sense 6 is phonetics.
Sense 7 is risk.
Sense 8 is foresight.
Sense 9 is abundance.

So the correct sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about an earthquake (temblor). The speaker says "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass." This means the earthquake/tremor subsides or ends, i.e., it passes by in time, moving past.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. pass%2:38:00:: - go across or through - "We passed the point..."
2. pass%2:38:05:: - move past - "A black limousine passed by..."
4. pass%2:38:03:: - pass by (time elapsing) - "three years elapsed"
13. pass%2:30:01:: - disappear gradually - "The pain eventually passed off"

The temblors (earthquakes) passing means they move past or subside. The sense "move past" (sense 2) with synonyms like "travel by, pass by, go by" seems appropriate. The earthquake is a physical phenomenon that moves past a location. "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass" - meaning how long it takes for the shaking to move past/end.

Sense 13 "disappear gradually" with example "The pain eventually passed off" could also fit, as the temblor subsiding could be seen as disappearing. But "pass off" is the synonym there, and the word in context is just "pass."

Sense 4 "pass by" with time elapsing - "three years elapsed" - this is about time passing, not quite right.

Sense 2 "move past" - "A black limousine passed by when she looked out the window" - this is about something physically moving past. Earthquake waves do move past a location. "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass" - meaning for the earthquake to move past.

I think sense 2 (pass%2:38:05:: - move past) is the best fit. The temblor passes by, moves past, like a limousine passing by. The earthquake is a physical phenomenon that moves through and past a location.

Actually, let me reconsider. The context says "That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass." This could mean how long until the shaking stops/subsides. In that case, sense 13 (disappear gradually) might fit better. But "pass off" is specifically "pass off" not just "pass."

Sense 2 with synonyms "travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by" and example "A black limousine passed by" - this seems to capture the idea of the earthquake moving past, which is what the speaker is describing. They're waiting for the temblor to pass (move past) and usually that's how long it takes.

I'll go with sense 2.

The target word is "time" in the context: "This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

The phrase "This time" refers to this particular instance or occasion of an earthquake happening. The speaker is comparing this instance to previous instances ("That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass. This time, it just got stronger...").

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=time%1:11:00:: | definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | synonyms=clip | examples="this time he succeeded; he called four times"
This fits perfectly. "This time" refers to this particular instance of the earthquake event.

The example "this time he succeeded" matches almost exactly with "This time, it just got stronger..."

So the answer is sense1.

"got stronger" - here "got" means "became" or entered into a certain state/condition.

Let's look at the candidate senses:
Sense 2: definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious

"It just got stronger" = "It just became stronger". This fits sense 2 perfectly.

The target word "building" in context refers to a physical structure that was shaking during an earthquake. "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block" - this clearly refers to a physical structure with a roof and walls.

Sense 1: a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place - this fits perfectly.

Sense 2: the act of constructing something - doesn't fit
Sense 3: commercial activity - doesn't fit
Sense 4: occupants of a building - doesn't fit

The answer is sense 1.

The target word is "started" in the context: "the building started shaking violently up and down".
This means the building began to shake.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. start%2:30:00:: | take the first step or steps in carrying out an action (intransitive: We began working at dawn)
2. start%2:30:01:: | set in motion, cause to start (transitive: The U.S. started a war)
3. start%2:38:02:: | leave
4. start%2:42:00:: | have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense (The DMZ begins right over the hill)
5. start%2:36:00:: | bring into being
6. start%2:36:01:: | get off the ground
7. start%2:38:04:: | move or jump suddenly
8. start%2:38:01:: | get going or set in motion (transitive: start the engine)
9. start%2:38:00:: | begin or set in motion (intransitive: I start at eight)
10. start%2:41:00:: | begin work or acting in a certain capacity
11. start%2:33:00:: | play in the starting lineup
12. start%2:42:03:: | have a beginning characterized in some specified way
13. start%2:41:04:: | begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object (begin a cigar; She started the soup) -> "started shaking" - shaking is the event.
Wait, "started shaking" is an intransitive usage where "started" takes a gerund.
"started" here means "began".
Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action | examples=We began working at dawn"
Sense 9: "begin or set in motion | examples=I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!"

Let's examine "The building started shaking".
This corresponds to "We began working".
Is it Sense 1? "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action".
Yes, "start" + V-ing is generally Sense 1 in WordNet.
Let's verify Sense 1's synonyms: get down, begin, get, start out, set about, set out. "We began working at dawn".
Sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - examples: The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro. (Here the subject is an event or object that begins).

"The building started shaking" -> the building began shaking.
This matches "We began working". The subject initiates an action.
So Sense 1 seems most appropriate.

Let's double check Sense 13: "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object" (begin a cigar, start the soup). Here "shaking" is a gerund, not a direct object in the typical sense, but it functions as the event. However, "start shaking" is more like "start working". So Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's re-read Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action | synonyms=get down, begin, get, start out, set about, set out | examples=We began working at dawn; Who will start?"
"started shaking" perfectly aligns with "began working".

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.

reasoning_content:
The context is about an earthquake, and the building started "shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."
Looking at the candidate senses:
1. shake%2:38:00:: - move or cause to move back and forth - "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking"
2. shake%2:29:00:: - move with or as if with a tremor - "his hands shook"
3. shake%2:38:01:: - shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively - "The old engine was juddering"
4. shake%2:38:02:: - move back and forth or sideways - "the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed"

9. sense_key=shake%2:32:00:: - shake (a body part) to communicate

The building is shaking violently up and down. This seems like it could be sense 3 or sense 4.
Sense 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" - synonyms=judder - examples="The old engine was juddering"
Sense 4: "move back and forth or sideways" - synonyms=rock, sway - examples="the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed"

The context mentions "shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." The example for sense 4 mentions "the tall building swayed" which is very close to our context about a building shaking during an earthquake. Also, the synonyms "rock" and "sway" fit the motion described.
However, sense 3 mentions "vibrate rapidly and intensively" which also fits "shaking violently."
Let me think more carefully. The context says "shaking violently up and down." Sense 4 says "move back and forth or sideways." The context mentions "up and down," while sense 4 says "sideways." But "back and forth" could include up and down.
Sense 3 says "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively." The context says "shaking violently." "Violently" suggests rapid and intensive motion.
Actually, looking at the examples again:
- Sense 4: "the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed" - this is about a building swaying, which is similar to our context about a building shaking during an earthquake.
- Sense 3: "The old engine was juddering" - this is about an engine, not a building.
The context is specifically about a building shaking during an earthquake. The example "the tall building swayed" in sense 4 is very close to our context. Also, "rock" as a synonym fits the up-and-down motion described.

But wait, sense 4 says "move back and forth or sideways" and the context says "up and down." This is a slight mismatch. However, "rock" typically refers to an up-and-down or back-and-forth motion, like a rocking chair.
Sense 3 says "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" with synonym "judder." Juddering is more like rapid vibration, which might not fully capture the violent up-and-down motion described in the context.

I think sense 4 is the best fit because:
1. The example mentions "the tall building swayed" which is close to our context about a building shaking during an earthquake.
2. The synonym "rock" fits the up-and-down motion described.
3. The motion is a building moving, not just vibrating.

Actually, let me reconsider. The context says "shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." This is describing a violent, rapid shaking motion.

Sense 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" - this captures the "violently" aspect well, but the example is about an engine juddering.
Sense 4: "move back and forth or sideways" - the example mentions "the tall building swayed" and the synonym includes "rock" and "sway."

The key distinction seems to be:
- Sense 3 is about rapid, intensive vibration (like an engine juddering)
- Sense 4 is about larger, more noticeable movement (like a building rocking or swaying)

Given that the context describes a building shaking violently during an earthquake, and the example for sense 4 is "the tall building swayed," I believe sense 4 is the best match.

However, "violently" suggests more intense motion than just "swaying" or "rocking." The context describes the building as shaking "violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." This sounds more like rapid, intensive vibration (sense 3) than gentle rocking or swaying (sense 4).

Let me look at the definitions again:
- Sense 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively"
- Sense 4: "move back and forth or sideways"

The context says "shaking violently." "Violently" implies rapid and intensive motion, which aligns more with sense 3's definition "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively."

But the example for sense 3 is "The old engine was juddering," which is about an engine, not a building. The example for sense 4 is "the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed," which is much closer to our context.

I think the best approach is to consider both the definition and the examples. The definition of sense 3 fits the "violently" aspect, but the example of sense 4 (tall building) fits the context better.

Given that WordNet glosses are schematic and the examples help disambiguate, I'll go with sense 4 because:
1. The example mentions "the tall building swayed" - directly relevant to a building shaking during an earthquake.
2. The synonym "rock" can describe up-and-down motion.
3. The context is about a building moving, not just vibrating.

Actually, I realize I should also consider that "shaking violently up and down" might not be just "swaying" (which is typically a gentle side-to-side motion). The context describes a violent, up-and-down motion, as if the building were a toy block being tossed. This is more intense than what "sway" or "rock" typically implies.

But looking at the examples again:
- Sense 4: "the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed"
- The ship was "rocking" - rocking can be violent, like a ship in a storm.

I think sense 4 is still the best fit because the examples are about buildings and ships moving, which is more relevant than an engine juddering.

Let me make my final decision. I'll go with sense 4 because:
1. The example "the tall building swayed" is very close to the context about a building shaking during an earthquake.
2. The synonym "rock" can describe violent, up-and-down motion.
3. The context is about a building moving during an earthquake, which is more similar to "rocking" or "swaying" than "juddering."

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider sense 3 again. The definition is "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively." The context says "shaking violently." "Violently" is very similar to "rapidly and intensively." The synonym "judder" might not be the best, but the definition itself fits very well.

And sense 4's definition is "move back and forth or sideways." The context says "up and down," which is not exactly "back and forth or sideways." However, "back and forth" can include up and down.

I think the key question is: does "shaking violently up and down" better match:
- "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" (sense 3)
- "move back and forth or sideways" (sense 4)

The "violently" in the context aligns with "rapidly and intensively" in sense 3. But the example for sense 3 is about an engine, not a building.

The example for sense 4 is "the tall building swayed," which is about a building. But the definition says "back and forth or sideways," which doesn't perfectly match "up and down."

I think I need to weight the examples more heavily since WordNet glosses are schematic. The example "the tall building swayed" is much closer to the context than "The old engine was juddering."

My final answer is sense 4.

Hmm, but let me also consider sense 1: "move or cause to move back and forth" with examples "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking." This is a more general sense of shaking. The context is about a building shaking, which could fit this general sense as well.

Comparing sense 1 and sense 4:
- Sense 1: "move or cause to move back and forth" - examples about shaking a flask and hands shaking
- Sense 4: "move back and forth or sideways" - examples about a ship rocking and a tall building swaying

The examples for sense 4 are more relevant to the context (a building shaking during an earthquake). So I'll stick with sense 4.

Actually, I just realized I should also consider that the context says "the building started shaking violently up and down." The phrase "up and down" is important. Sense 4 says "move back and forth or sideways." "Up and down" is not exactly "sideways," but it could be considered "back and forth" in a vertical direction.

Also, the synonym "rock" for sense 4 is very relevant. "Rock" can mean to move back and forth or up and down, like a rocking chair or a ship in rough seas. The context describes the building moving "up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed," which is similar to rocking.

I'm confident that sense 4 is the best fit.

Wait, I want to reconsider one more time. Let me look at the senses again:

Sense 1: move or cause to move back and forth (agitate) - "The chemist shook the flask vigorously; My hands were shaking"
Sense 3: shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively (judder) - "The old engine was juddering"
Sense 4: move back and forth or sideways (rock, sway) - "the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed"

The context: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed"

Key features of the context:
1. A building is shaking (not a person, not an engine)
2. The shaking is violent (intense, rapid)
3. The motion is up and down

Sense 4 has the best example match (tall building) and the synonym "rock" fits the up-and-down motion. The definition "move back and forth or sideways" is a bit off for "up and down," but "back and forth" can include vertical motion.

Sense 3 has a definition that better matches "violently" (rapidly and intensively), but the example is about an engine, not a building.

I think the example match is more important here. The context is specifically about a building shaking during an earthquake, and sense 4's example is "the tall building swayed." This is a much better match than sense 3's example about an engine.

My final answer is sense 4.

The target word "block" appears in the context: "the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

Here, "block" refers to a child's toy block - like a wooden or plastic block that children play with. This is a solid piece of something with flat rectangular sides. This matches sense 1: "a solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides)" with the example "the pyramids were built with large stone blocks."

Sense 3 is "a three-dimensional shape with six square or rectangular sides" with synonym "cube" - this could also apply to a child's toy block, but sense 1 seems more fitting since it refers to a solid piece (like a toy block) rather than just a geometric shape.

Let me reconsider. A child's toy block is typically a cube shape - a solid piece with flat rectangular (often square) sides. Sense 1 says "a solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides)" and the example mentions "stone blocks." A child's toy block is indeed a solid piece with flat rectangular sides. Sense 3 is more about the geometric shape itself (cube), which is more abstract.

I think sense 1 is the best fit here because the context is about a physical object (a child's toy block) that can be "tossed" - it's a solid piece, not just a geometric description.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 3 again. "a three-dimensional shape with six square or rectangular sides" with synonym "cube" - this is specifically about the shape. A child's toy block IS typically cube-shaped. But the context says "child's toy block" which is a solid piece, not just a shape. The word "block" here is being used to refer to the physical object (the toy), which is a solid piece with flat rectangular sides. I'll go with sense 1.

11:59 p.m. JKD: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together. That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass. This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being <t>tossed</t>. 12:06 a.m.

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

reasoning_content:
The context describes a building shaking violently up and down "as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed." This describes violent movement, not a light throw or carelessly throwing something. The building is being shaken violently.

Sense 4: "move or stir about violently" with synonyms like convulse, thresh, thrash - this fits the violent shaking described in the context.

Sense 1: "throw or toss with a light motion" - doesn't fit, the motion described is violent.

Sense 3: "throw carelessly" - doesn't fit the context of violent shaking.

Sense 6: "agitate" - this could potentially fit, but sense 4 is more specific about violent movement.

The answer is sense 4.

That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass.

Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=library%1:06:01:: | definition=a room where books are kept | examples=they had brandy in the library
2. sense_key=library%1:14:00:: | definition=a collection of literary documents or records kept for reference or borrowing

reasoning_content:
The context mentions "Berkeley Main library" and being inside it when an earthquake hit, with windows that could buckle and shower them with glass. This refers to a building that houses a collection of books. The person was inside the library building.

Sense 5: "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials" - this fits because the person is inside a building called the Berkeley Main library.

Sense 3: "a depository built to contain books and other materials for reading and study" - this also refers to a building but specifically as a depository.

The context emphasizes being inside a building with windows, shaking during an earthquake. Sense 5 seems most appropriate as it specifically describes a building that houses books.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 3 is "a depository built to contain books and other materials for reading and study" with synonym "depository library." Sense 5 is "a building that houses a collection of books and other materials."

The Berkeley Main Library is a building that houses a collection of books. The person was in the building. Sense 5 seems like the best fit since it emphasizes the building aspect, which is what's relevant here (being inside a building during an earthquake).

I'll go with sense 5.

reasoning_content:
The context is about an earthquake ("temblor") and the narrator saying "I was in the Berkeley Main library when it hit."
Here "it" refers to the earthquake.
The earthquake "hit".
Sense 5: "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" | synonyms=strike | examples=We were hit by really bad weather; He was stricken with cancer when he was still a teenager
This perfectly fits an earthquake affecting a location suddenly.
Let's check other senses.
Sense 1: cause to move by striking (hit a ball) - no.
Sense 2: hit against; come into sudden contact with - no.
Sense 9: cause to experience suddenly | synonyms=strike, come to | examples=Panic struck me; An interesting idea hit her - "it hit" could be causative or passive here, but sense 5 "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" fits natural disasters like "bad weather" (and earthquakes) better. "We were hit by really bad weather" -> "the earthquake hit".
Therefore, Sense 5 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "Endless" in the context: "Endless seconds wondering if those huge windows would buckle and shower us with glass."

The context describes an earthquake experience where time seems to stretch. "Endless seconds" means the seconds felt very long, seemingly without end. This matches sense 1: "tiresomely long; seemingly without end" with examples like "endless debates; an endless conversation."

Sense 2 is about infinitely great in number (endless waves).
Sense 3 is about having no known beginning and presumably no end (time is endless).
Sense 4 is about having the ends united (an endless chain).

Sense 1 is the best fit - the seconds felt tiresomely long, seemingly without end.
