Target lemma: tenant
Target surface form: tenants
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 passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if <t>tenants</t> were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a "surly landlord" who scowls as if "tenants were a burden in his life." The word "landlord" strongly suggests that "tenants" here refers to people who pay rent to use a building owned by someone else. This matches sense 1: "someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else," with the synonym "renter" and the example mentioning "landlord" and "tenant."

Sense 3 ("any occupant who dwels in a place") is more general and doesn't necessarily involve a landlord-tenant relationship. Sense 2 is about holding buildings or lands by title, which is more legal/formal and doesn't fit the colloquial context here.

The presence of "landlord" in the context makes sense 1 the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."
The target word is "life".
The sentence describes the landlord's life, where tenants are a burden. It refers to the course of existence of an individual (the landlord), the actions and events that occur in living.
Let's look at the senses:
1. characteristic state or mode of living
2. the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities
3. the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living
4. the condition of living or the state of being alive
5. the period during which something is functional

"as if tenants were a burden in his life" -> "in his life" refers to his course of existence, daily actions and events.
Sense 3 fits best: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" (examples: he wanted to live his own life without interference from others).
Sense 2 is also possible: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities".
Let's see if Sense 3's specific mention of "an individual" fits "his life" perfectly.
Sense 3: "he wanted to live his own life without interference from others". This perfectly matches the possessive "his life" referring to an individual's existence.
Wait, "a burden in his life" could be sense 3.

Let's check Sense 1: "social life; city life".
Sense 2: "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life".
Sense 3: "he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others"

"a burden in his life" means a burden in the course of his existence.
Therefore, Sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context describes Phil encountering his surly landlord who is scowling as usual, and Phil "shrugged and ignored him." This is a deliberate act of refusing to acknowledge or pay attention to the landlord - a social snub or dismissal. The landlord is present and scowling, and Phil actively chooses not to engage with him.

Sense 1: "refuse to acknowledge" with synonyms like "disregard, snub, cut" and example "She cut him dead at the meeting" - this fits well as it's about deliberately not acknowledging someone's presence socially.

Sense 2: "bar from attention or consideration" with synonyms like "dismiss, disregard, brush aside" - this could work but seems more about dismissing ideas or advances rather than ignoring a person.

Sense 4: "give little or no attention to" with synonyms "neglect, disregard" - this could work but "neglect" suggests more of a failure to attend to something rather than a deliberate social snub.

The context shows Phil deliberately choosing not to acknowledge the landlord's presence or attitude. He "shrugged and ignored him" - this is a social interaction where he's actively choosing not to engage. Sense 1 with "refuse to acknowledge" and the synonym "snub" fits best - it's about deliberately not acknowledging someone.

The example "She cut him dead at the meeting" is very similar - deliberately ignoring someone's presence in a social setting.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a landlord who was "still alive" - meaning he hadn't died. The passage mentions "By Wednesday the landlord was still alive." This is straightforward - possessing life, not dead.

Sense 1: possessing life - "the happiest person alive; the nerve is alive"

This fits perfectly. The landlord is still alive (not dead).

reasoning_content:
The target word is "mailed" in the context: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly".

He is sending a check through the postal service. The context mentions "mailed the monthly check", which strongly implies using the postal service to send a physical check.

Sense 1: send via the postal service | synonyms=get off | examples=I'll mail you the check tomorrow
Sense 2: 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

Sense 1 is more specific about using the postal service, and the example even matches closely ("I'll mail you the check tomorrow" vs "mailed the monthly check"). Sense 2 is more general about sending/transmitting.

Given that "mailed" a check strongly implies the postal service, Sense 1 seems best. The example in Sense 1 is almost identical to the context.

I'll go with Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "...Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her..."

Here, "wished" is followed by a clause "the stranger could do something about her". This is expressing a desire or hope about a situation. He is wishing that the stranger could do something about his wife Lolly.

Let's look at the senses:

1. wish%2:37:00:: - hope for; have a wish - "I wish I could go home now"
2. wish%2:37:02:: - prefer or wish to do something - "Do you care to try this dish?"
3. wish%2:32:02:: - make or express a wish - "I wish that Christmas were over"
4. wish%2:37:01:: - feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of - wish well
5. wish%2:32:01:: - order politely; express a wish for
6. wish%2:32:00:: - invoke upon - "wish you a nice evening"

The context "wished the stranger could do something about her" - this is expressing a wish/desire that something could happen. It's similar to "I wish I could go home now" (sense 1) or "I wish that Christmas were over" (sense 3).

Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" with example "I wish I could go home now" - this matches well because both involve wishing that something could happen.

Sense 3: "make or express a wish" with example "I wish that Christmas were over" - this also could match.

The difference between sense 1 and sense 3 seems subtle. Sense 1 is about hoping for something (have a wish), while sense 3 is about making or expressing a wish.

In the context, "wished the stranger could do something about her" - he is hoping/wishing that the stranger could do something. This seems most like sense 1 "hope for; have a wish" with the example "I wish I could go home now" which has a very similar structure (wish + someone/something + could + verb).

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context: "wished the stranger could do something about her"
The sentence refers to "the stranger" in relation to his wife Lolly, whom he mailed a monthly check to. He wished the stranger could do something about her.

Wait, let me re-read: "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

This is a bit ambiguous. "Her" could refer to Lolly. He wished the stranger could do something about Lolly? Or "her" refers to something else?

Actually, looking at it again, the stranger seems to be a specific person he is acquainted with or knows of. But the term "stranger" is used.

Wait, the context mentions "the weirdy" earlier - someone he had a conversation with. The "stranger" might be this weirdy, who is someone he encountered but doesn't really know well.

Actually, let me think about this more carefully. The two senses are:
1. Anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found (alien, unknown)
2. An individual that one is not acquainted with

The context: He had a conversation with the weirdy. Then later he wishes "the stranger" could do something about his wife Lolly.

The "stranger" here seems to refer to someone he has had some contact with (the weirdy?) but isn't really acquainted with. So sense 2 (an individual that one is not acquainted with) seems more appropriate.

But wait - could "the stranger" be referring to someone completely foreign to the situation? Like an outsider? In that case, sense 1 might apply.

Hmm, but "wished the stranger could do something about her" - he's wishing that this stranger could do something about his wife. This suggests he knows of the stranger (has met them or knows they exist) but isn't acquainted with them personally.

Actually, re-reading again: "he wished the stranger could do something about her" - this implies the stranger is a specific person he's thinking of, someone he's not acquainted with but wishes could help with his wife situation.

Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - this fits. He knows of this person (perhaps the weirdy from the conversation) but is not acquainted with them.

Sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" - this is more about someone being out of place, an alien or outsider in a particular setting.

I think sense 2 is the better fit. The stranger is someone Haney is not personally acquainted with, but he wishes this stranger could do something about his wife Lolly.

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider. The "weirdy" he had a conversation with - is this the stranger? Or is the stranger someone else entirely?

"wished the stranger could do something about her" - if the stranger is the weirdy, then he's met this person (had a conversation) but isn't really acquainted. Sense 2 fits.

If the stranger is just a general concept of "some unknown person" who could fix his wife situation, then sense 1 might fit better - someone who doesn't belong.

But given that "the stranger" is used with the definite article "the," it suggests a specific person he has in mind, likely the weirdy from the conversation. So sense 2 (an individual one is not acquainted with) is the best fit.

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "wished the stranger could do something about her"

Here, "do" is used in the sense of "do something about" - meaning to take action, to perform an action to address a situation.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. engage in - make love, make an effort
2. carry out or perform an action - "John did the painting..."
3. get (something) done - "I did my job"
4. proceed or get along - "How is she doing in her new job?"
5. give rise to; cause to happen - "cause a commotion"
6. carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions
7. be sufficient; be adequate
8. create or design
9. behave in a certain manner
10. spend time in prison
11. carry on or function
12. arrange attractively
13. travel or traverse

"Could do something about her" - this means to take action, to perform an action regarding her. This is closest to sense 2 "carry out or perform an action" or sense 3 "get (something) done."

The phrase "do something about" typically means to take action to address or fix something. Sense 2 is "carry out or perform an action" with examples like "John did the painting, the weeding..." and synonyms "perform, execute."

Sense 3 is "get (something) done" with example "I did my job" and synonym "perform."

"Could do something about her" - this is about performing an action, taking action. Sense 2 seems most appropriate - "carry out or perform an action."

Actually, let me think more carefully. "Do something about her" means to take some action regarding her (presumably to change the situation with his wife Lolly). This is about performing an action, carrying out an action.

Sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" - this fits well. The stranger could perform/carry out some action about her.

Sense 3: "get (something) done" - this could also fit, but "do something about" is more about taking action than getting something done.

I'll go with sense 2.

The target word is "Coming" in the context: "Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

This is a participial phrase "Coming home from work" which means arriving home from work. Let's look at the candidate senses.

Sense 2: reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | synonyms=arrive, get | examples=She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight

This fits perfectly - "Coming home" means arriving home.

Sense 1: move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody | synonyms=come up | examples=He came singing down the road; Come with me to the Casbah

Sense 1 is more about moving toward something/someone, while sense 2 is about reaching a destination/arriving. "Coming home" here means arriving home, so sense 2 seems the best fit.

The context is: "Coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

The target word is "home".
Here, "home" refers to the place where Phil lives (an apartment building).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. home%1:15:04:: - where you live at a particular time (place)
2. home%1:06:00:: - housing that someone is living in (dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house)

8. home%1:14:00:: - a social unit living together...
9. home%1:06:01:: - an institution where people are cared for...

"Coming home from work" - He's coming back to his residence, the apartment building.
Wait, sense 1 is "where you live at a particular time" (place). Example: "deliver the package to my home".
Sense 2 is "housing that someone is living in" (dwelling, domicile, abode...). Example: "he built a modest dwelling near the pond".
In "coming home from work", "home" acts as an adverbial destination indicating his residence. But in WordNet, it is a noun here (Coming [to his] home from work... wait, "home" can be an adverb, but the lemma is 'home' and the candidates are all nouns (1:15, 1:06, etc. which are noun synsets).
Let's distinguish between sense 1 and 2.
Sense 1 (home%1:15:04::) is defined as "where you live at a particular time". Example: "deliver the package to my home".
Sense 2 (home%1:06:00::) is defined as "housing that someone is living in". Example: "he built a modest dwelling".
In "Coming home from work", home is the place where he lives.
Wait, "home" in WordNet:
Noun
1. (home, place) where you live at a particular time...
2. (dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house, home) housing that someone is living in...
If someone says "I'm going home", home is usually adverbial, meaning "to one's home". But as a noun, it matches "where you live at a particular time".
Actually, "home" in "Coming home" is often tagged as sense 1 (where you live at a particular time).
Let's check "home from work". "Coming home" -> "coming [to his] home". Sense 1: place where you live at a particular time. Sense 2: the physical structure.
"apartment building" implies a physical structure, but "home" here just means his residence.
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2? Usually, "coming home" aligns with Sense 1 (where you live).
Let's consider Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time"
Let's consider Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in"
In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "coming home" is sense 1.
Example from SemCor: "When he came home from the office..." -> home%1:15:04::.
Another example: "go home" -> home%1:15:04::.
Let's choose Sense 1.

"Coming home from work" refers to the place of employment or the occupation. "He went back to work Monday." - this could mean he resumed his occupation. "Coming home from work" - coming home from the workplace.
Sense 6 is "a place where work is done" with synonyms "workplace" and example "he arrived at work early today". This fits "coming home from work" very well.
Sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid". "He went back to work Monday" could fit this. But "coming home from work" strongly implies the physical location.

Let's evaluate Sense 6 vs Sense 3.
Sense 6: workplace. "Coming home from work" -> coming home from the workplace.
Sense 3: employment. "He went back to work Monday" -> he went back to his job.

"Coming home from work" often denotes the workplace, as it pairs with "coming home from". You come home from a place. "He arrived at work early today."

Wait, Sense 3 definition: "the occupation for which you are paid". Examples: "out of work". "a lot of people are out of work".
Sense 6 definition: "a place where work is done". Synonyms: workplace. Examples: "he arrived at work early today".

"Coming home from work" aligns perfectly with "he arrived at work early today" as a locative use. Thus, Sense 6 is the best fit.

The answer is sense 1.

The context is: "Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly."

This describes people exchanging thoughts or conversing with each other. They are standing around talking, which implies a mutual exchange of thoughts among multiple people.

Sense 1: "exchange thoughts; talk with" - This fits well. People standing around talking excitedly suggests they are exchanging thoughts with each other.

Sense 2: "express in speech" - This is more about speaking/uttering words, which is more general.

Sense 3: "use language" - Too general, about the ability to use language.

Sense 4: "reveal information" - Not quite right, they're not necessarily revealing information.

Sense 5: "divulge confidential information or secrets" - No.

Sense 6: "deliver a lecture or talk" - No.

The best fit is Sense 1, as people standing around talking excitedly suggests an exchange of thoughts among them.

The target word is "spine" in the context: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

The phrase "his spine crawled" is an idiom referring to the physical sensation of fear or dread, often expressed as "a shiver ran down his spine" or "his spine crawled." This refers to the anatomical spine, the series of vertebrae forming the axis of the skeleton.

Sense 1 is the anatomical spine (spinal column, vertebral column, backbone, back, rachis).
Sense 2 is a sharply pointed projection.
Sense 3 is a small sharp-pointed tip on a stem or leaf.
Sense 4 is the part of a book's cover.
Sense 5 is a sharp rigid animal process or appendage.

The correct sense is sense 1, as "his spine crawled" refers to the human backbone.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "crawled" in the context: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition..."

This is clearly about a feeling, not physical movement. "His spine crawled" means he felt a creeping sensation of fear/foreboding.

Sense 2: "feel as if crawling with insects" with example "My skin crawled--I was terrified" fits perfectly. "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" is analogous to "My skin crawled--I was terrified."

Sense 3 is about being full of (like "crawling with maggots"), which is not the right fit here since it's about a sensation/feeling.

The answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a feeling of foreboding - "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition" - when he sees a police car and people talking excitedly, and then learns the landlord had died.

Sense 1: "a feeling of evil to come" with synonyms foreboding, presentiment, boding. This fits perfectly - the context even uses the word "foreboding" as a modifier, and the feeling is about something bad that has already happened (the landlord died).

Sense 2: "an early warning about a future event" with synonym forewarning. This is more about a warning sign.

The context shows he had a feeling that something bad had happened or was about to be revealed. The word "foreboding" in the context directly matches the synonym in sense 1. The example "a steadily escalating sense of foreboding" also matches the context usage well.

Sense 1 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

He is inquiring about what happened. He is addressing a question to someone and expecting an answer. Let me compare senses 1 and 5.

Sense 1: "inquire about" - examples: "I asked about their special today" - this is more general inquiry about something.

Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from" - examples: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry" - this involves directing a question to a specific person.

In the context, "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened" - he is addressing a question to a specific person (one of his fellow tenants) and expecting an answer. This fits sense 5 well.

But sense 1 "inquire about" with synonyms "inquire, enquire" also fits - he is inquiring about what happened.

The difference: Sense 1 is about inquiring about a topic (ask about something), while sense 5 is about addressing a question to someone specifically and expecting an answer from them. In the context, "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened" - he is specifically addressing a question to a particular person (one of his fellow tenants). This emphasizes the directed nature of the question.

Sense 5 seems to fit best because it emphasizes addressing a question to a specific person and expecting an answer from them.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "fellow" in the context: "his fellow tenants".
Here, "fellow" acts as an adjective modifying "tenants", meaning they share the same status (they are both tenants).
Let's look at the senses.
1. a boy or man
2. a friend who is frequently in the company of another
3. a person who is member of one's class or profession
4. one of a pair
5. a member of a learned society
6. an informal form of address for a man
7. a man who is the lover of a girl or young woman

Wait, "fellow tenants" means tenants who share the same building/landlord. It's a noun used attributively.
Sense 3 definition: "a person who is member of one's class or profession" - synonyms: colleague, confrere. examples: "he sent e-mail to his fellow hackers"
The example in Sense 3 specifically uses "fellow hackers". This matches "fellow tenants" perfectly. They share a common position or status (class).

Is there a better sense?
"fellow tenants" -> people who are members of the same class (tenants of the same building).
Sense 3 definition: a person who is member of one's class or profession.
The example "he sent e-mail to his fellow hackers" shows it's used as an adjective meaning belonging to the same class.
So sense 3 is the right one.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a person living in an apartment building, asking a fellow tenant about what happened. The landlord owns the building. The tenants are people who live in the apartment building.

Sense 1: someone who pays rent to use land or a building - "renter" - examples mention landlord evicting tenant who doesn't pay rent
Sense 2: a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title
Sense 3: any occupant who dwells in a place

In this context, the narrator lives in an apartment building and asks a "fellow tenant." The context mentions a landlord, implying a rental arrangement. However, the word "tenant" here could also just mean "occupant who dwells in a place."

Sense 1 specifically mentions paying rent, and the context does involve a landlord-tenant relationship (the landlord died). But the word "fellow tenants" is being used to refer to other people living in the same building.

Sense 3 is "any occupant who dwells in a place" - this is a more general sense.

The key question is whether the context emphasizes the rental/payment aspect or just the dwelling aspect. The context does mention a landlord, and in the story, the landlord died. The fact that there's a landlord suggests these are renters. But the word "fellow tenants" is used in a more general sense of "fellow residents."

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 emphasizes paying rent (renter)
- Sense 3 is any occupant who dwells in a place

In common usage, "fellow tenants" in an apartment building with a landlord would typically fall under sense 1 (renter) because the relationship with the landlord implies they pay rent. But sense 3 could also apply.

The context mentions "the landlord" which implies a rental arrangement, so sense 1 seems most appropriate. The narrator is someone who lives in the building and has a landlord, so he is a renter/tenant in sense 1.

Actually, let me reconsider. The word "tenant" in general usage often just means someone who lives in a place, especially in an apartment building context. Sense 3 says "any occupant who dwells in a place." Sense 1 is more specific about paying rent.

Given that the context clearly involves a landlord-tenant relationship (the landlord died, and these are people living in the apartment building), sense 1 seems most fitting. The presence of a landlord strongly implies a rental arrangement.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "happened" in the context: "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died."

He's asking what events had occurred/transpired. The landlord died. He's asking "what happened?" in the sense of "what came to pass" or "what occurred."

Sense 1: come to pass - synonyms hap, go on, pass off, occur, pass, fall out. Examples: "What is happening?"
This fits perfectly with "what had happened" - asking what events came to pass.

Sense 2: happen, occur, or be the case in the course of events or by chance. Examples: "It happens that today is my birthday"
This is more about it being the case that something is true.

Sense 3: chance to be or do something. "I happen to have just what you need!"
This is the "happen to" construction.

Sense 4: come into being; become reality. "Her dream really materialized"
Not quite right.

Sense 5: come upon, as if by accident. "I happened upon the most wonderful bakery"
Not right.

Sense 1 is the best fit - "what had happened" meaning "what had occurred/come to pass." The example "What is happening?" is very close to the usage here.
