reasoning_content:
The target word is "make" in the sentence: "Five minutes later, before Haney could make his break, the stranger stood up and nodded farewell."

"Make his break" - this means to escape or to leave, usually quickly or secretly.
In the context, Haney is in a place (likely a bar or restaurant, given "slip out the door", "nodded farewell"), and he wants to "make his break" (escape or leave).

Let's look at the candidate senses.
Sense 16: make%2:36:12:: | definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision; make a move. "make his break" could be "make a move", but "make a break" is an idiom.
Sense 13: make%2:38:02:: | definition=reach a goal, e.g., | synonyms=reach, get to, progress to | examples=make the first team; We made it!
Sense 28: make%2:38:05:: | definition=head into a specified direction | synonyms=take | examples=The escaped convict took to the hills; We made for the mountains. (Not quite "make his break")
Wait, "make a break" is an idiom. Let's look closely at the senses.
Is there a sense for "make a break"?
Let's consider "make a break" as "perform or carry out". "make a move" is an example for sense 16.
"make a break for it" is an idiom meaning to attempt to escape. "break" here is a noun.
Is there a better fit?
Sense 1: engage in (make an effort) - no.
Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a move). "Make his break" is similar to "make a move".
Sense 36: proceed along a path (make one's way).
Let's re-read the context: "before Haney could make his break, the stranger stood up and nodded farewell."
Haney wants to escape or leave. "Make his break" means to execute his escape.
Sense 16: "perform or carry out" - examples: make a decision; make a move. "Make his break" fits here as performing the action of breaking away/escaping.
Sense 28: head into a specified direction (make for the mountains).
Wait, what about "make a break"? Is it an achievement? "reach a goal" (Sense 13: make the first team; We made it!) - No.
Sense 16 definition: "perform or carry out" -> examples: make a decision; make a move.
Sense 24: "carry out or commit" -> examples: make a mistake; commit a faux-pas.
Sense 1: "engage in" -> examples: make love, not war; make an effort.

Let's look at sense 16: "perform or carry out". "make a decision", "make a move". "Make his break" is comparable to "make a move". It means to execute the action of leaving/escaping.

Let's check if there is any other sense.
Sense 16 seems to fit perfectly with light verb constructions where "make" + noun denotes performing an action, like "make a move", "make a break".

Could it be Sense 1 (engage in)? "make love, not war; make an effort". "Make a break" is performing a specific, sudden action.

Let's evaluate Sense 16. "perform or carry out". "make a decision", "make a move". "Make his break" = perform his break / escape.
Could it be Sense 24: "carry out or commit" -> "make a mistake; commit a faux-pas". Break is not a mistake or crime.

Sense 1: "engage in".
Sense 16: "perform or carry out". "Make a move" is a very close parallel to "make his break" (both involve taking a specific action at a moment).

Let's verify.
WordNet 3.0:
make%2:36:12:: perform or carry out; "make a decision"; "make a move"
Yes, "make a move" is exactly this kind of action. Haney was waiting for his chance to escape, but before he could "make his break" (carry out his escape/move), the stranger left.

Let's choose 16.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a situation where Pete (or someone) is referred to as "the stranger" by the narrator. Haney and Pete have been having a conversation, so Haney knows who this person is to some extent (they've been talking). However, the narrator refers to him as "the stranger," suggesting that this person is not known in the broader environment (the place where they are, like a bar or cafe).

Let me analyze the two senses:
1. stranger%1:18:00:: - "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" (synonyms: alien, unknown)
2. stranger%1:18:01:: - "an individual that one is not acquainted with"

In the context, Haney and Pete have been having a conversation. Pete is someone Haney has met (at least in this interaction). The narrator calls Pete "the stranger," which suggests he is a stranger to the environment or the general setting, not necessarily someone Haney hasn't met at all.

Actually, let me reconsider. Haney and Pete are having a conversation - Pete is talking about his "line of work" and being a "customer." The fact that the narrator refers to Pete as "the stranger" after their conversation suggests that Pete is someone who doesn't belong in this environment - he came in, had a conversation with Haney, and then left. Haney "watched the small but wiry man slip out the door" - suggesting Pete was visiting this place where Haney was.

So sense 1 seems more appropriate - Pete is someone who doesn't belong in the environment (he came to meet Haney and then left), rather than just someone Haney doesn't know (since they've been talking for at least five minutes).

Wait, but sense 2 is "an individual that one is not acquainted with" - this could also apply. Haney may have just met Pete for the first time in this scene. They're having a conversation, but that doesn't mean they're acquainted before this.

The key phrase is "before Haney could make his break" - this suggests Haney wants to get away from Pete. And "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" - the fact that nobody else noticed his departure suggests Pete was a stranger to the environment, someone who didn't belong there and came and went unnoticed.

I think sense 1 is the better fit - "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found." Pete is described as someone who came to this place, had a conversation with Haney, and then left silently and unnoticed by others. He's a stranger to the environment.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell. Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently"

Here, "nodded farewell" refers to the act of departing politely - the stranger is leaving and nods as a gesture of parting.

Sense 1: an acknowledgment or expression of goodwill at parting - this is about the expression/gesture itself
Sense 2: the act of departing politely - this is about the act of leaving

"nodded farewell" - the nodding is the gesture, but "farewell" here seems to refer to the act of departing politely. The stranger "stood up and nodded farewell" - he's taking his leave, departing. The examples for sense 2 include "he took his leave" which is similar to someone departing.

Actually, let me think more carefully. "Nodded farewell" - the farewell is what the nod expresses. The nod is an acknowledgment of goodwill at parting. But "farewell" here could be the act of departing politely (sense 2) since the whole action is about leaving.

Looking at the context: "the stranger stood up and nodded farewell. Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door" - the emphasis is on the departure. The stranger is leaving, and the nod is part of the polite departure.

But "nodded farewell" - what did he nod? He nodded a farewell. This seems more like sense 1 - the acknowledgment or expression of goodwill at parting. The nod IS the farewell, it's the gesture/expression.

However, "he took his leave" from sense 2 examples is also about departing. "nodded farewell" could be seen as "took his leave by nodding."

I think sense 2 fits better here because the overall context emphasizes the act of departing - "stood up and nodded farewell" then "slip out the door quickly and silently" and "his departure." The farewell here is about the act of departing politely, not just the expression.

Actually, re-reading: "nodded farewell" - he nodded as a farewell. The farewell is the act of departing politely. He nodded as part of his departure. The synonyms "leave, leave-taking, parting" fit well. "He took his leave" by nodding and leaving.

I'll go with sense 2.

The context is: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently"

Here, Haney is looking attentively at the man as he slips out the door. He is observing the man's departure with his eyes.

Let me look at the candidates:

1. watch%2:39:00:: - look attentively - "watch a basketball game"
2. watch%2:41:00:: - follow with the eyes or the mind - synonyms: observe, follow, watch over, keep an eye on - "Keep an eye on the baby"; "The world is watching Sarajevo"
3. watch%2:39:05:: - see or watch - synonyms: view, see, catch, take in - "view a show on television"
4. watch%2:39:02:: - observe with attention - synonyms: look on - "They watched as the murderer was executed"
5. watch%2:39:01:: - be vigilant, be on the lookout - "Watch out for pickpockets!"
6. watch%2:39:03:: - observe or determine by looking - "Watch how the dog chases the cats away"
7. watch%2:32:09:: - find out, learn, or determine with certainty - "I want to see whether she speaks French"

The context shows Haney watching the man slip out the door. He is following the man's movement with his eyes.

Sense 2 "follow with the eyes or the mind" with synonyms like "observe, follow" seems like a good fit. The example "Keep an eye on the baby" is about monitoring/watching over, which is a bit different. But "follow with the eyes" fits the context of watching someone leave.

Sense 1 "look attentively" - this is also possible.

Sense 4 "observe with attention" - "They watched as the murderer was executed" - this is also about watching an event unfold.

The key distinction: Haney is watching the man slip out the door - he's following the man's movement with his eyes. Sense 2 says "follow with the eyes or the mind" which fits well. The synonym "observe" also fits.

But let me think more carefully. Sense 2's examples include "Keep an eye on the baby" (which is more about monitoring/supervising) and "The world is watching Sarajevo" (which is about following events). The synonyms include "watch over, keep an eye on" which suggest monitoring.

Sense 4 "observe with attention" with synonym "look on" - "They watched as the murderer was executed" - this is about watching an event happen, being a spectator.

In the context, Haney is watching the man slip out the door - he's observing the man's action with attention. This seems closest to sense 4 "observe with attention" or sense 1 "look attentively."

Actually, "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door" - he's visually tracking the man as he leaves. This is about following with the eyes. Sense 2 seems appropriate.

But wait, let me reconsider. The example for sense 4 is "They watched as the murderer was executed" - this is watching an event unfold, which is similar to watching someone slip out the door. The synonym "look on" suggests being a spectator/observer.

Sense 1 "look attentively" with example "watch a basketball game" - this is about watching an event/activity.

Sense 2 "follow with the eyes or the mind" - this is specifically about tracking/following someone or something with eyes. "Haney watched the man slip out" - he's following the man's movement with his eyes.

I think sense 2 is the best fit because Haney is specifically following/tracking the man's movement as he slips out the door. The phrase "watched the small but wiry man slip out the door" emphasizes following the man's action with the eyes.

Actually, let me reconsider once more. Sense 4 "observe with attention" - "look on" - "They watched as the murderer was executed." This is about being an observer/spectator of an event. Haney is watching the man's departure - he's observing the action.

The distinction between senses 1, 2, and 4 is subtle:
- Sense 1: look attentively (watching an event/activity)
- Sense 2: follow with the eyes or the mind (tracking, monitoring)
- Sense 4: observe with attention (being a spectator/observer)

In this context, "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door" - he's visually following the man as he exits. The emphasis is on tracking the man's movement. Sense 2 "follow with the eyes" seems most appropriate.

But the synonyms for sense 2 include "watch over, keep an eye on" which suggest ongoing monitoring/supervision, which isn't quite what's happening here. Haney is simply watching the man leave, not monitoring him over time.

Sense 4 "observe with attention" with "look on" - this is about being a spectator, watching something happen. "They watched as the murderer was executed" is about watching an event unfold. Similarly, Haney watched the man slip out - he observed the action.

I think I'll go with sense 4. "Observe with attention" fits well - Haney is observing with attention as the man slips out the door. The example "They watched as the murderer was executed" parallels "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door."

Wait, but actually sense 2 "follow with the eyes or the mind" is also very relevant. When you watch someone leave, you follow them with your eyes. Let me look at the examples more carefully:

- Sense 2: "Keep an eye on the baby, please!" - This is about monitoring/supervising
- "The world is watching Sarajevo" - This is about following events

The synonyms "observe, follow, watch over, keep an eye on" - "follow" is relevant here.

Hmm, I think the key question is whether "watched the man slip out the door" is better characterized as:
- Following with the eyes (sense 2)
- Observing with attention (sense 4)
- Looking attentively (sense 1)

"Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently" - He's watching the man's action of leaving. He's observing the event with attention.

I think sense 4 "observe with attention" is the best fit. The example "They watched as the murderer was executed" is structurally similar - watching someone do something. The synonym "look on" fits the context of being an observer.

Actually, I want to reconsider sense 2 one more time. "Follow with the eyes or the mind" - when Haney watches the man slip out, he's following the man's movement with his eyes. This is a very literal interpretation. The synonym "observe" also fits.

But the examples for sense 2 suggest monitoring ("Keep an eye on the baby") or following ongoing events ("The world is watching Sarajevo"), which is different from watching a specific action happen.

I'll go with sense 4. "Observe with attention" - Haney is observing with attention as the man slips out the door. The example "They watched as the murderer was executed" is parallel in structure.

Final answer: sense 4.

The target word is "small" in the context: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently..."

Here, "small" describes the physical size of the man. It's paired with "but wiry," indicating physical characteristics - small in physical stature/build.

Sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" - examples are "a little dining room; a little house" - this is about physical size/magnitude.
Sense 2: "limited in size or scope" - examples are "a small business" - more about scope.
Sense 5: "low or inferior in station or quality" - not about physical size.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate - "limited or below average in... magnitude or extent" - describing a physically small person.

The context describes a "small but wiry man" who slips out the door quickly and silently. This is describing a person's body type - lean and sinewy. The word "wiry" here refers to someone who is thin but strong/muscular.

Sense 1: lean and sinewy - this fits perfectly for describing a person's physique.
Sense 2: of or relating to wire - not applicable to a person.
Sense 3: of hair that resembles wire in stiffness - not applicable here, it's describing the man, not his hair.

The answer is sense 1.

The context is: "Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently"
The man is moving quickly and silently out the door.

Sense 7: pass on stealthily - synonyms: sneak - examples: "He slipped me the key when nobody was looking"
Sense 8: move easily - examples: "slip into something comfortable"

"slip out the door quickly and silently" fits "move stealthily" (Sense 1) very well, as it involves moving stealthily or quietly.
Wait, could it be Sense 8 (move easily)? The text says "quickly and silently". "Stealthily" matches "silently". So Sense 1 seems best.

reasoning_content:
The context describes someone slipping "out the door" - meaning he exited through a door. This is referring to the physical door itself, a swinging or sliding barrier that closes an entrance. He "slipped out the door quickly and silently" - this is about the physical door, not the doorway (space), not metaphorical access, not a structure, not a room.

Sense 1: a swinging or sliding barrier that will close the entrance to a room or building or vehicle. Examples: "he knocked on the door; he slammed the door as he left"

"slip out the door" - he left through the door. This matches sense 1, the physical barrier. Though one could argue it's the entrance (sense 2), "slip out the door" typically refers to the physical door or the opening. But in common usage, "out the door" often means through the doorway/entrance. However, WordNet sense 1 includes "he slammed the door as he left" which is similar departure context.

Actually, "slip out the door" - he's going through the door/entrance. Both sense 1 and sense 2 could apply. But the primary physical object that he slips out of is the door as barrier. "Slip out the door" means to exit through the door. I think sense 1 is the best fit - it's the physical door that he slips out through. The examples for sense 1 include "he slammed the door as he left" which is about leaving through a door.

I'll go with sense 1.

The context is: "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."

Here, "felt relieved" means Haney experienced the emotion of relief. This is an emotional sensation or state of mind.

Looking at the candidates:
1. sense_key=feel%2:37:00:: | definition=undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind | synonyms=experience | examples=She felt resentful; He felt regret
4. sense_key=feel%2:29:00:: | definition=be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state | examples=My cold is gone--I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike

"felt relieved" - relief is an emotional sensation. Sense 1 says "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" with examples "She felt resentful; He felt regret" - these are emotions. "Felt relieved" fits perfectly here as an emotional sensation.

Sense 4 says "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" with examples like "I feel fine today" and "She felt tired" - these are more about overall states of being.

"Felt relieved" is specifically an emotional sensation, so sense 1 seems most appropriate. The examples "She felt resentful; He felt regret" are parallel to "felt relieved" - all are specific emotional sensations.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "see" in the context: "felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

Here, "see" means to perceive by sight. Haney felt relieved to perceive (by sight) that nobody else noticed the stranger's departure.
Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" | examples=You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?
Sense 2: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" | synonyms=understand, realize, realise | examples=Now I see!; I just can't see your point
Sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" | synonyms=witness, find | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school
Sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" | synonyms=learn, hear, get word, get wind, pick up, find out | examples=I learned that she has two grown-up children; I see that you have been promoted
Sense 9: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort" | synonyms=determine, check, find out, ascertain, watch, learn | examples=I want to see whether she speaks French; See whether it works

"felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure."
He looked around and perceived with his eyes (or became aware) that nobody else noticed.
Is it physical sight or mental realization? "see that..." usually implies realization, becoming aware.
Sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" -> "I see that you have been promoted"
Sense 9: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty..."
Sense 1: "perceive by sight"

Actually, "see that nobody else seemed to notice" aligns well with becoming aware or perceiving mentally.
Let's look at Sense 2: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" -> Now I see!; I just can't see your point.
Let's look at Sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" -> I see that you have been promoted. "I see that..." is very similar to "see that nobody else seemed to notice".
Wait, in WordNet, "see" followed by a "that" clause often maps to sense 6 (get to know or become aware of) or 2 (understand/realize) or 3 (perceive or be contemporaneous with).
Let's re-read Sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" (see%2:31:02::) -> "I learned that she has two grown-up children; I see that you have been promoted"
But here Haney is physically in the room. He watches the man leave, and then he sees that nobody else noticed. He observes this visually, but the complement is a situation.
Wait, "see that nobody else seemed to notice" -> Haney perceives this fact.
Could it be Sense 1? "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight"
Sense 6 is "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally". He became aware that nobody else noticed.
Sense 2 is "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally".
Let's consider Sense 1. "perceive by sight". In context, he literally watched the room and visually confirmed no one was noticing. But "see that [clause]" often implies mental awareness.
Look at Sense 6's example: "I see that you have been promoted". Here, the awareness comes from reading or hearing, not necessarily physically watching the event unfold.
Look at Sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" -> "You'll see a lot of cheating in this school".
Is there a better fit? "felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure." He saw (perceived visually) that nobody else noticed. If he "saw that", it is often considered Sense 1 in many WSD tasks if it relies on physical sight, or Sense 2/6 if it's purely mental. However, "see that" frequently maps to Sense 6 (learn, hear, find out) or Sense 2 (understand, realize).
Wait, "perceive by sight" (Sense 1) covers seeing a situation.
Let's search for "relieved to see that". "I was relieved to see that he was okay." This is visual perception. He was in the room, watching. Thus, Sense 1.
Let's re-evaluate Sense 6: "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" - I see that you have been promoted. This implies hearing or learning information, not directly perceiving it visually as it happens.
"see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure" - He physically looked and saw the other people not noticing. Thus Sense 1 is very strong.
What about Sense 2: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" -> "Now I see!" "I just can't see your point". This is "understand".
So Sense 1 is "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight".
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 6. Sense 1 examples: "You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?"
If someone says "I was relieved to see that nobody else noticed," it means "I visually perceived that nobody else noticed."
I'll go with Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "seemed" in the context: "nobody else seemed to notice his departure" and "it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there".

Let's look at the two instances of "seemed" in the context.
1. "nobody else seemed to notice his departure" -> "nobody else appeared to notice his departure"
2. "it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there" -> "it appeared as if the strange little man had never been there"

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense 1: give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect. synonyms=look, appear. examples=She seems to be sleeping.
2. sense 2: seem to be true, probable, or apparent. synonyms=appear. examples=It seems that he is very gifted.
3. sense 3: appear to exist. examples=There seems no reason to go ahead.
4. sense 4: appear to one's own mind or opinion. examples=I seem to be misunderstood.

"nobody else seemed to notice" -> nobody else appeared to notice. This fits with sense 1 or 2.
"it seemed as if..." -> this is a proposition that appears to be true. "It seems that he is very gifted" fits "It seems as if..." perfectly. Sense 2: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent".

Wait, "nobody else seemed to notice his departure" could also be sense 1 or 2.
Actually, let's look at "it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there". This implies "It appeared that..." which corresponds to sense 2 (seem to be true, probable, or apparent; examples=It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad).

What about "nobody else seemed to notice his departure"?
"Nobody else appeared to notice his departure" -> Sense 1 gives "She seems to be sleeping" -> "She appeared to be sleeping".
Actually, the context seems to contain the target word "seemed" but the XML/tag is just `<t>seemed</t>`. "nobody else <t>seemed</t> to notice his departure."
Is it "nobody else seemed to notice"?
Wait, if it's "nobody else seemed to notice his departure", it means "it was apparent that nobody else noticed" or "nobody else appeared to notice".
"She seems to be sleeping" (Sense 1) is "She appears to be sleeping".
"Nobody else seemed to notice" is "Nobody else appeared to notice".

But sense 2 has examples "It seems that he is very gifted".
Both 1 and 2 are very close. "Nobody else seemed to notice his departure." could be sense 1.
Let's look closely at WordNet 3.0 senses for "seem".
seem%2:39:00::: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect; "She seems to be sleeping"; "This appears to be a very difficult problem""
seem%2:39:01::: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent; "It seems that he is very gifted"; "It appears that the weather in California is very bad""
seem%2:42:00::: "appear to exist; "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now""
seem%2:39:02::: "appear to one's own mind or opinion; "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone"; "I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters""

"nobody else seemed to notice his departure."
Sense 1: outward aspect.
Sense 2: seem to be true, probable, or apparent.

"Nobdoy else seemed to notice his departure." -> It was apparent that nobody else noticed. Or, nobody else appeared to notice.
If we substitute "appeared": "Nobody else appeared to notice his departure."
Is this sense 1 or 2? "appear to be true, probable, or apparent" is often for "It seems that..."
Sense 1 is "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect".
If Haney felt relieved to see that nobody else *seemed* to notice, it means it gave the outward impression that nobody noticed, or it appeared to be true that nobody noticed.
In WN, "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" (sense 2) is for "It seems that..." impersonal constructions.
Let's check if "nobody else seemed to notice" is a personal construction like "She seems to be sleeping" (Sense 1) or "It seems that..." (Sense 2).
"Nobody" is a pronoun. "Nobody else seemed to notice" -> "It seemed that nobody else noticed".
But the subject is "nobody else", a pronoun, making it syntactically like "She seems to be sleeping".
Wait, "nobody else seemed to notice his departure." Does it give an impression? Yes.
Let's look at the second instance of "seemed" in the text:
"as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there"
Here, "it" is a dummy subject. "It seemed as if..." This matches "It seems that..." (Sense 2: seem to be true, probable, or apparent).
Wait, the target word is marked with <t>seemed</t> in the text:
"nobody else <t>seemed</t> 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."
Wait, there are TWO occurrences of "seemed"! One is marked with <t>seemed</t>, the other is not!
Ah! "nobody else <t>seemed</t> to notice his departure."
So the target is ONLY the first one: "nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

"Nobdoy else seemed to notice his departure."
This is a personal construction. "Nobody else" acts as the subject.
Sense 1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - "She seems to be sleeping."
Sense 2: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" - "It seems that he is very gifted."

Does "nobody else seemed to notice" mean "nobody else gave the impression of noticing"? Yes. Sense 1 fits "She seems to be sleeping" (giving an outward aspect).
If we look at SemCor, "seem" with a personal subject and an infinitive "to X" is usually Sense 1.
For example: "She seems to be sleeping." -> "nobody else seemed to notice." -> Sense 1.
Sense 2 "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" is mostly used with "It seems that..." or "It seems as if..." (which is the second occurrence in the text, but the second occurrence is NOT the target word!).
Wait, let me double check the text.
"nobody else <t>seemed</t> 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."
Yes, the <t> tags are only around the first "seemed".

Let's analyze "nobody else seemed to notice his departure."
Sense 1: give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect; "She seems to be sleeping"
Sense 2: seem to be true, probable, or apparent; "It seems that he is very gifted"

"Nobody else seemed to notice his departure."
Can we say "It seems that nobody else noticed his departure"? Yes. But is that how it's classified?
If we look at WordNet senses:
seem%2:39:00:: (Sense 1) - give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect
seem%2:39:01:: (Sense 2) - seem to be true, probable, or apparent

Sense 1 is about "outward aspect". "Nobody else seemed to notice" implies that outwardly, it appeared as though nobody noticed.
Sense 2 is about "true, probable, or apparent". "It seems that he is very gifted."

Actually, sense 1 and 2 are notoriously hard to distinguish.
But notice the examples:
Sense 1: She seems to be sleeping. (subject = person, infinitive complement)
Sense 2: It seems that he is very gifted. (subject = dummy "it", "that" clause)
Sense 3: There seems no reason... (subject = "there")
Sense 4: I seem to be misunderstood... (subject = person, "to one's own mind or opinion")

In "nobody else seemed to notice his departure", the subject is "nobody else", which is syntactically parallel to "She" in "She seems to be sleeping". Both have a personal pronoun/negative pronoun subject and a to-infinitive complement.
Is it possible it's Sense 4? "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters"
No, "nobody else seemed to notice" is not about Haney's own mind or opinion in the sense of "I seem to be misunderstood" (where it's a polite way of saying "I am misunderstood"). "nobody else seemed to notice" means it gave the outward impression that nobody noticed.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best match. "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect".

Let's review the exact WordNet 3.0 definition for seem%2:39:00:::
"give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect; "She seems to be sleeping"; "This appears to be a very difficult problem""
This applies to "nobody else seemed to notice his departure."

Let's check if there's any other interpretation.
"nobody else seemed to notice" -> "It appeared that nobody else noticed." But the syntax is "Nobody else seemed to notice". This matches "This appears to be a very difficult problem" / "She seems to be sleeping" exactly (Subject + seem + to + infinitive).
Sense 2 is "It seems that he is very gifted." (Impersonal It + seem + that-clause).

So I will choose Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "notice" in the context: "nobody else seemed to notice his departure."
The meaning here is to perceive or become aware of someone's departure.
Sense 1: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of. (detect, observe, find, discover) - "She detected high levels of lead..."
Sense 2: notice or perceive. (mark, note) - "She noted that someone was following her"

The context is "nobody else seemed to notice his departure", meaning nobody perceived or observed his departure.
Sense 2 fits "notice or perceive" and has examples like "She noted that someone was following her", which is similar to noticing a person's action or movement.
Sense 1 is more about discovering facts or presence, like detecting lead. Sense 2 fits better for perceiving an event (departure) happening.

reasoning_content:
The context says "Phil decided to stay a little longer". This means he decided to remain in the place (the bar/restaurant) for a bit more time.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 2: stay put (in a certain place) - "We are staying in Detroit"
- Sense 3: dwell - "stay a bit longer--the day is still young" - this example matches well
- Sense 4: continue in a place, position, or situation - "Stay with me, please"

Sense 3 has the example "stay a bit longer--the day is still young" which matches "stay a little longer" perfectly. But the definition is "dwell" which implies living somewhere.

Sense 2 is about staying put in a certain place.
Sense 4 is about continuing in a place.

"Phil decided to stay a little longer" - he's remaining in the place. The phrase "stay a little longer" is very close to the example in sense 3: "stay a bit longer--the day is still young". But sense 3 is defined as "dwell" which means to live/reside somewhere. That doesn't quite fit.

Sense 2: "stay put (in a certain place)" - Phil is staying at the bar/establishment.
Sense 4: "continue in a place, position, or situation" - this also fits.

The example for sense 3 "stay a bit longer" is very close to the context. But the definition "dwell" seems off for this context.

Let me think about which is the best fit. "Phil decided to stay a little longer" - he's remaining in the bar.

Sense 3 with "bide, abide" as synonyms and "dwell" as definition - the example "stay a bit longer--the day is still young" is very close.
Sense 2 with "stick around, stay put" - staying in a certain place.
Sense 4 with "continue, remain" - "Stay with me, please"

I think sense 3 is the best match because of the example "stay a bit longer" which directly parallels "stay a little longer". The fact that the synonyms include "bide, abide" and the definition is "dwell" might seem odd, but the example is very close.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Stay a little longer" in the context means to remain in the bar for more time.

Sense 2: stay put in a certain place - this is about not leaving a place
Sense 3: dwell - "stay a bit longer" - this seems to be about remaining/staying somewhere, which is close to dwelling
Sense 4: continue in a place - "After graduation, she stayed on" - this is about remaining in a place over time

The phrase "stay a little longer" is most closely paralleled by sense 3's example "stay a bit longer--the day is still young". I'll go with sense 3.

Wait, but "dwell" usually means to live or reside somewhere. Let me look at this more carefully.

Sense 3: definition=dwell, synonyms=bide, abide, examples="You can stay with me while you are in town; stay a bit longer--the day is still young"

The example "stay a bit longer" is almost exactly the context. I'll go with sense 3.

The target word is "time" in the context: "as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there."

Here, "time" refers to the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past. "As time passed" is a common phrase referring to the ongoing flow of time.

Let me check the candidate senses:

1. "an instance or single occasion for some event" - doesn't fit "as time passed"
2. "a period of time considered as a resource under your control" - doesn't fit
3. "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - possible, but "time passed" suggests the flow of time rather than a specific period
4. "a suitable moment" - doesn't fit
5. "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past" - this fits "as time passed" - the ongoing flow/continuum of time

I think sense 5 is the best fit. "As time passed" refers to time as a continuum, the ongoing flow of time.

reasoning_content:
The context is "as time passed", which means time went by or elapsed.

Looking at the candidates, sense 4 has definition "pass by" with synonyms including "elapse, lapse, slip by, glide by, slip away, go by" and examples "three years elapsed". This matches "as time passed" perfectly.

Sense 10 is "pass time in a specific way" with synonym "spend" - this is about spending time doing something, not about time elapsing.

Sense 2 is "move past" with synonyms "travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by" - this is more about physically moving past something.

Sense 4 is clearly the best match for "as time passed" meaning time elapsed.
