reasoning_content:
The context is about someone experiencing aftershocks (likely an earthquake) at 3:25 a.m. They say "I'm just numb."

Let me analyze the three senses:

1. lacking sensation (physical numbness) - like a foot being asleep
2. not showing human feeling or sensitivity; unresponsive - emotional numbness, often followed by "to"
3. so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror

The context involves aftershocks after what seems to be a major earthquake. The person says "I'm just numb." This could mean:

- Sense 1: physically numb - but this doesn't quite fit the context. They're not describing a physical sensation of numbness in a body part.
- Sense 2: emotionally unresponsive/insensitive - this could fit. After experiencing multiple aftershocks, the person might be emotionally numb, unresponsive to further stimuli. However, this sense typically requires "to" (followed by `to`), and here it's used without "to."
- Sense 3: stunned or paralyzed with terror - this could also fit. After experiencing aftershocks, the person could be numb from fear/terror, stunned by the ongoing situation.

Looking at the context more carefully: "I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago. I'm just numb." The person has been experiencing aftershocks (repeated frightening events). They're saying they're numb - this seems to be describing an emotional state after repeated shocks/trauma.

Sense 2 says it's typically followed by "to" - but here it's not followed by "to." The person is just "numb" - which could be a state of being stunned/paralyzed.

Sense 3: "so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror" - In the context of aftershocks from an earthquake, the person could be describing being stunned/paralyzed. However, "I'm just numb" doesn't necessarily mean they can't move.

Actually, thinking about this more carefully - in the aftermath of a traumatic event like an earthquake with aftershocks, people often describe feeling "numb" in the sense of being emotionally overwhelmed to the point where they can't feel anything anymore - they're stunned, paralyzed emotionally. This could be sense 3 (stunned or paralyzed with terror) or sense 1 (lacking sensation, but applied metaphorically to emotions).

Sense 1's definition is "lacking sensation" with examples like "my foot is asleep" and "numb with cold." This is primarily physical, but "numb with cold" shows it can be used with a cause. However, the examples are physical.

Sense 3's definition is "so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror; petrified" with example "too numb with fear to move." This is about fear/terror causing the numbness.

In the context of earthquake aftershocks, the person is likely frightened/stunned by the repeated seismic activity. They say "I'm just numb" - meaning they're so overwhelmed by fear/shock that they can't process anything more. This seems to align with sense 3.

But wait - let me reconsider. The person has already experienced the main quake and is now feeling aftershocks. "I'm just numb" could mean they've become desensitized to the aftershocks - they're no longer feeling the emotional impact. This would be more like sense 1 (lacking sensation) or sense 2 (unresponsive).

Hmm, but sense 2 specifically says "followed by `to'" which isn't the case here.

Actually, looking at sense 1 again: "lacking sensation" with synonyms "asleep, benumbed" and examples "my foot is asleep; numb with cold" - while these are physical examples, the core meaning of "lacking sensation" could apply to emotional numbness as well. When someone says "I'm just numb" after trauma, they mean they're lacking emotional sensation/feeling.

But sense 3 is specifically about fear causing the numbness, and in an earthquake context, fear is definitely present.

Let me think about what's most natural. "I'm just numb" after feeling an aftershock - this is a common way people describe the emotional state of being overwhelmed/stunned after trauma. It's not necessarily that they're physically unable to move, but they're emotionally stunned/paralyzed.

I think sense 3 fits best here: "so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror." The earthquake context clearly involves fear, and "I'm just numb" describes being stunned by the ongoing terrifying situation.

Actually, I want to reconsider once more. Let me look at the exact wording: "I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago. I'm just numb."

The word "just" before "numb" suggests resignation or weariness - like they've been through so many aftershocks that they're beyond feeling anymore. This is more about being emotionally overwhelmed/desensitized rather than actively terrified.

Sense 1: "lacking sensation" - this could be the emotional equivalent of not being able to feel anything after overwhelming stimuli
Sense 3: "so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror" - this is more about active fear causing paralysis

The context suggests someone who has been through repeated shocks and is now beyond active fear - they're numb in the sense of lacking sensation/feeling. But sense 1's examples are all physical...

Hmm, but the definition of sense 1 is simply "lacking sensation" - it doesn't specify physical only. The examples happen to be physical, but the core meaning could apply to emotional states.

On the other hand, sense 3 includes "stunned" which could capture the emotional state after trauma.

I think the best fit is sense 3, because:
1. The context involves a frightening situation (earthquake aftershocks)
2. "Numb" here describes the psychological impact of fear/terror
3. The definition includes "stunned" which fits the emotional state described
4. The example "too numb with fear to move" shows this sense is used for fear-induced emotional paralysis

Let me go with sense 3.

Wait, actually I should reconsider sense 1 one more time. "Numb with cold" shows the pattern "numb with [cause]." The person in the earthquake could be "numb" in a similar way - numb from the overwhelming experience. The definition "lacking sensation" is broad enough to cover emotional numbness. And "my foot is asleep" shows the state of being unable to feel.

But the key differentiator: is this numbness from fear/terror (sense 3) or just a general lack of sensation (sense 1)?

Given the earthquake aftershock context, fear/terror is clearly present. The person is describing their psychological reaction to a frightening event. Sense 3 specifically addresses numbness caused by fear: "so frightened as to be unable to move; stunned or paralyzed with terror."

I'll go with sense 3.

The target word is "seems" in the context: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off."

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. seem%2:39:00:: - "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - synonyms: look, appear - examples: "She seems to be sleeping"; "This appears to be a very difficult problem"

2. seem%2:39:01:: - "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" - synonyms: appear - examples: "It seems that he is very gifted"; "It appears that the weather in California is very bad"

3. seem%2:42:00:: - "appear to exist" - examples: "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now"

4. seem%2:39:02:: - "appear to one's own mind or opinion" - examples: "I seem to be misunderstood by everyone"; "I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters"

The context is: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off."

This is about how Downtown Bolinas appears to be the worst-off part of town. The speaker is observing and reporting what appears to be the case based on outward appearance/evidence (no power, minimal phones, mess everywhere). This matches sense 1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" with the example "This appears to be a very difficult problem" - similar structure "seems to be."

Sense 2 is about things seeming true or probable, with examples using "It seems that..." which is a different construction.

Sense 3 is about appearing to exist, which doesn't fit.

Sense 4 is about appearing to one's own mind or opinion, with first-person examples.

The best fit is sense 1, as "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off" parallels "This appears to be a very difficult problem" - giving an impression based on outward aspects.

The context is: "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off."

Here, "part of town" refers to a section or area of the town. Looking at the candidates:

- Sense 5: "the extended spatial location of something" with synonyms "region" and examples "the farming regions of France; religions in all parts of the world" - this fits well with "part of town" as a spatial region.

- Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided" with synonyms "section, division" - this could also fit, but the examples are more about divisions of abstract things (exam, company sections).

- Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" - too general.

The phrase "part of town" refers to a spatial region/area within a town. Sense 5 with its spatial emphasis and synonym "region" seems most appropriate.

The context mentions "Downtown Bolinas seems to be the part of town that's worst off." Here, "town" refers to the urban area/place itself - Bolinas is a town, and they're talking about the physical area of the town. This matches sense 1: "an urban area with a fixed boundary that is smaller than a city."

The sentence is talking about the physical place - "the part of town that's worst off" refers to a geographical area within the town. This is not about the people (sense 2), not about an administrative division (sense 3), and not about the architect (sense 4).

The target word "mess" appears in the context: "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors"

This describes a state of confusion and disorderliness - mayonnaise, wine, and everything else spilled all over the floors. This is about physical disorderliness.

Sense 1: "a state of confusion and disorderliness" - fits well with the description of things spilled all over the floors.
Sense 2: "informal terms for a difficult situation" - this is more about a problematic situation, not physical mess.
Sense 3: "soft semiliquid food" - could relate to mayonnaise, but the context includes wine and "everything else" - it's about the disorderly state, not the food itself.
Sense 6: "(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent" - "a mess of mayonnaise" could be read this way, but the context "mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors" suggests disorderliness rather than just a large amount.

The phrase "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors" describes a state of physical disorder and messiness - things spilled and scattered. This aligns best with sense 1: "a state of confusion and disorderliness."

Wait, let me reconsider. "A mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else" - this could mean "a large amount of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else." But the context "all over the floors" suggests disorderliness.

Actually, reading it again: "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors" - this is describing a disorderly state where mayonnaise, wine, and other things are spilled all over. This is sense 1.

Sense 6 says "often followed by 'of'" and means "a large number or amount or extent." The examples are "a batch of letters" and "a deal of trouble." This could work grammatically with "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else," but the context of things being "all over the floors" suggests physical disorder rather than just quantity.

I think sense 1 is the best fit. The "mess" here refers to the disorderly state of things spilled on the floors.

The context describes mess (mayonnaise, wine) all over the "floors" of a general store and co-op. This refers to the inside lower horizontal surface of rooms/buildings.

Sense 1: "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)" - fits perfectly with store floors covered in mess.

Sense 2 would be about stories/levels of a building. But here it's about things spilled on the floors (surface).

The target word is "big" in the context: "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the big old general store."

Here "big" modifies "old general store." It describes the size of the store - it's a large general store. This fits sense 1: "above average in size or number or quantity or magnitude or extent" with synonym "large" and examples like "a large city."

The context clearly refers to the physical size of the store.

raw_output:
Looking at the context, "old" modifies "general store" in the phrase "the big old general store." The writer is describing an actual establishment in Bolinas affected by the earthquake. Here, "old" describes the store as being long-standing/established — a building that has existed for a long time, paralleling the example "old house" in sense 2.

While "big old" can sometimes function as a colloquial intensifier, the descriptive, reportorial tone of the passage (detailing earthquake damage to specific real locations) supports the literal reading: the general store is old in the sense of being of long duration, not new.

{"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "old" in the phrase "the big old general store".

Let me analyze the context: "a mess of mayonnaise, wine, and everything else all over the floors of the big old general store"

Here, "old" modifies "general store." It's describing the general store as being old - of long duration, not new. The general store is an old building/establishment.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. (used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time - this is for persons, not applicable here
2. of long duration; not new - examples: old tradition; old house - this could fit "old general store"
3. (used for emphasis) very familiar - examples: good old boy; same old story - this could potentially fit as an emphasis marker
4. skilled through long experience - for persons, not applicable
5. belonging to some prior time - examples: erstwhile friend; our former glory - not quite right
6. (used informally especially for emphasis) - examples: a real honest-to-god live cowboy; had us a high old time - this is for emphasis
7. of a very early stage in development - examples: Old English; Old High German - not applicable
8. just preceding something else in time or order - examples: the previous owner; my old house was larger - not applicable

The phrase "big old general store" - here "old" could be used as an emphasis marker (like "big old" is a common colloquial phrase), or it could literally mean the store is old (of long duration).

In colloquial English, "big old" is often used as an emphasis phrase. "That's a big old house" doesn't necessarily mean the house is ancient, but rather emphasizes its size. Similarly, "the big old general store" could be using "old" as an intensifier/emphasis marker.

However, looking more carefully at the context, the general store is described as having stuff spilled all over its floors. The description seems to be about a real, established store in town. "Old" here could genuinely mean the store has been around for a long time (of long duration, not new).

But the phrase "big old" is a very common colloquial intensifier pattern. In American English, "big old" or "big ol'" is used to emphasize the size or significance of something, where "old" doesn't necessarily mean aged but rather adds emphasis.

Looking at sense 3: "(used for emphasis) very familiar" with examples "good old boy; same old story" - this seems to capture the emphasis use.

Looking at sense 6: "(used informally especially for emphasis)" with examples including "had us a high old time" - this also captures emphasis use.

But in "big old general store," the "old" is being used as part of a colloquial intensifier phrase. It's not necessarily saying the store is very familiar, nor is it the same kind of emphasis as "honest-to-god."

Actually, let me reconsider. The context is describing a real situation after an earthquake. The "general store" is a real store in Bolinas. "Old" could genuinely mean the store is old/established - it's a long-standing store in the town. This would fit sense 2: "of long duration; not new" with the example "old house."

The general store is a building that has existed for a long time. This fits sense 2.

But wait - "big old" is such a common colloquial phrase in American English that it's hard to ignore. When someone says "big old [noun]," the "old" often functions as an intensifier rather than literally meaning "aged."

Hmm, let me think about this more carefully. In the phrase "the big old general store," is "old":
a) Literally meaning the store is old (sense 2)
b) Used as an emphasis marker (sense 3 or 6)

Given that this is a general store (which are typically old-fashioned, established stores), and the writer is describing a real place in Bolinas, I think "old" here is most likely describing the store as being of long standing - an established, old store. This fits sense 2: "of long duration; not new."

But actually, "big old" as a collocation is so common in American English that it's worth considering whether "old" here is functioning more as an intensifier. The phrase "big old" or "big ol'" is a common Southern/American colloquialism where "old" adds emphasis without necessarily meaning "aged."

Looking at the senses again:
- Sense 3: "(used for emphasis) very familiar" - examples: "good old boy; same old story"
- Sense 6: "(used informally especially for emphasis)" - examples: "a real honest-to-god live cowboy; had us a high old time"

Neither of these perfectly captures the "big old" intensifier pattern. Sense 3 is about familiarity, and sense 6 is about genuine/intensity emphasis.

I think the most straightforward interpretation is sense 2: "of long duration; not new" - the general store is an old, established building. The example "old house" is similar to "old general store."

Actually, I want to reconsider once more. In colloquial American English, "big old" is a very natural phrase that emphasizes the size. It's like saying "a really big general store." The "old" in "big old" doesn't necessarily mean the store is literally old.

But looking at the WordNet senses provided, which one best captures this use?

Sense 3 says "(used for emphasis) very familiar" - this doesn't quite fit because it's about familiarity
Sense 6 says "(used informally especially for emphasis)" - this is about emphasis, with examples like "honest-to-god" and "a high old time"

Actually, I think sense 2 is the best fit. The general store is described as "old" meaning it's been around for a while - it's not a new store. This is the most natural interpretation, and "old house" is a parallel example.

Let me go with sense 2: "of long duration; not new."

Wait, but I should also consider whether "old" here is just an intensifier in the colloquial "big old" pattern. In that pattern, "old" doesn't really mean "of long duration" - it's more like a filler/emphasis word.

Hmm, looking at this more carefully:

The phrase is "the big old general store" - in this context, the writer is describing an actual store in Bolinas that was affected by the earthquake. General stores are often old establishments. The "old" here could genuinely mean the store is old.

I'll go with sense 2: "of long duration; not new" - this best captures "old" modifying a building/store that has been around for a long time.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. The phrase "big old" is extremely common in American colloquial speech as an intensifier. Examples:
- "That's a big old truck"
- "He's a big old boy"
- "We had us a big old time"

In these cases, "old" doesn't mean "of long duration" - it's an emphasis marker.

But in "the big old general store," it could be either:
1. An emphasis marker (the store is really big)
2. Literally old (the store has been around for a long time)

Given the context of describing a real place affected by an earthquake, and the fact that general stores are typically old establishments, I think sense 2 is the most appropriate. The writer is likely describing an actual old store.

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context describes earthquakes/aftershocks ("The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals"). This refers to physical shaking motions of the ground/house.

Sense 1: an almost pleasurable sensation of fright - doesn't fit, these are physical movements, not sensations
Sense 2: a shaky motion - fits well, physical shaking movements
Sense 3: case for holding arrows - doesn't fit
Sense 4: the act of vibrating - could fit but "quivers" here are physical movements/temors, not the act of vibrating

Sense 2 seems best - "a shaky motion" with synonyms like shaking, shakiness, trembling. The quivers are physical shaky motions moving through the house (seismic tremors/aftershocks).

reasoning_content:
The context is "The quivers move through my house every few minutes at unpredictable intervals". Here "minutes" refers to a unit of time equal to 60 seconds. "every few minutes" means every few 60-second units.

Sense 1: a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour - example "he ran a 4 minute mile"
Sense 2: an indefinitely short time - synonyms moment, mo, second, bit - example "wait just a moment"

"every few minutes" - this is measuring time in standard units of 60 seconds. It's not an indefinitely short time like "wait a minute" (sense 2). It's the actual unit of time.

So sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "taken" in the context: "the mouse that's been living in my kitchen has taken refuge under my desk."

The phrase is "take refuge." Let me look at the candidate senses.

Sense 34: sense_key=take%2:40:08:: | definition=to get into a position of having, e.g., safety, comfort | examples=take shelter from the storm

"Take refuge" is similar to "take shelter." The definition says "to get into a position of having, e.g., safety, comfort" and the example is "take shelter from the storm." "Take refuge" fits this sense perfectly - the mouse is getting into a position of safety by taking refuge under the desk.

So the best sense is index 34.

reasoning_content:
The mouse has taken refuge under my desk. This means the mouse found a safe place/shelter under the desk. Sense 1 is "a safe place" with synonym "safety" and example "He ran to safety." Sense 3 is "a shelter from danger or hardship" with synonyms "sanctuary, asylum."

The context describes the mouse physically going under the desk for safety during earthquakes. "Taken refuge" here means finding a safe place. Both sense 1 and sense 3 could work, but sense 3 emphasizes shelter from danger or hardship (earthquakes), while sense 1 is more general "a safe place."

Looking at the examples: sense 1 has "He ran to safety" which is similar to the mouse taking refuge under the desk. Sense 3 has synonyms "sanctuary, asylum" which carry more institutional/formal connotations.

The phrase "taken refuge under my desk" is about finding a physical safe place. Sense 1 seems most appropriate - "a safe place" with the example "He ran to safety" matching the physical movement to a safe location.

Sense 3 with "sanctuary, asylum" has more of an institutional or formal shelter connotation, which doesn't fit as well for a mouse under a desk.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a mouse that is running out frantically and is "clearly pretty distressed" after an earthquake. The mouse has taken refuge under the desk and is behaving frantically.

Let me consider the senses:

1. Financial trouble - doesn't fit, this is about a mouse
2. Generalized feeling of distress (dysphoric, unhappy) - this is about emotional distress, but it's a mouse, so it's more about physical/behavioral distress
3. Suffering severe physical strain or distress (stressed) - example mentions someone dropping out of a race, clearly distressed and having difficulty breathing. This is about physical distress.
4. Afflicted with anxious uneasiness or trouble or grief (disquieted, disturbed, upset, worried) - this is about emotional/psychological distress

The mouse is described as running out frantically, clearly distressed after the earthquake. This seems like the mouse is in a state of anxiety and uneasiness due to the earthquake. The mouse is "taking refuge" and running "frantically."

Sense 3 is about "suffering severe physical strain or distress" with the example being about physical difficulty breathing. The mouse isn't necessarily physically strained - it's more emotionally/psychologically distressed by the earthquakes.

Sense 4 is about "afflicted with or marked by anxious uneasiness or trouble or grief" with synonyms like upset, worried, disquieted. The mouse is anxious and uneasy due to the earthquakes - running frantically, taking refuge. This seems like a better fit.

The mouse is clearly in a state of anxious uneasiness - running frantically, hiding under the desk. This aligns with sense 4 (disquieted, disturbed, upset, worried).

Actually, let me reconsider. The mouse is an animal, and the description focuses on its frantic behavior - running out frantically, clearly distressed. This is more about the animal being in a state of physical/behavioral distress due to the earthquake situation.

But sense 4 says "afflicted with or marked by anxious uneasiness or trouble or grief" - the mouse could be experiencing anxious uneasiness. The synonyms (disquieted, disturbed, upset, worried) could apply to the mouse's state.

Sense 3 says "suffering severe physical strain or distress" with synonym "stressed" - the earthquake situation is causing the mouse physical stress.

Hmm, the context emphasizes the mouse's frantic behavior and its reaction to the earthquakes. The quivers (aftershocks) are moving through the house, and the mouse is clearly distressed by this situation.

I think sense 4 is the best fit because:
- The mouse is described as taking refuge and running frantically - signs of anxiety and uneasiness
- The context is about the emotional/psychological impact of the earthquake on the mouse
- Synonyms like "upset," "disturbed," "disquieted" fit the mouse's state

Actually, let me reconsider sense 3 again. "Suffering severe physical strain or distress" - the synonym is "stressed." The example is about someone who is physically distressed (difficulty breathing). The mouse is under physical stress from the earthquake situation.

But I think sense 4 is better because:
1. The distress is more about the mouse's anxious, uneasy state rather than physical strain
2. The frantic running and seeking refuge are signs of anxiety, not physical strain
3. The mouse isn't described as having physical difficulties - it's described as behaving frantically, which is more of an emotional/psychological response

I'll go with sense 4.

reasoning_content:
The context is about an earthquake ("quake") that "rolled through town." The quake is moving through the town, and the word "rolled" here describes the earthquake moving through the area.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. move by turning over or rotating - not quite right for an earthquake
2. move along on or as if on wheels or a wheeled vehicle - this could work metaphorically for a quake moving through town
3. occur in soft rounded shapes - not right
4. flatten or spread with a roller - no
5. emit, produce, or utter with a deep prolonged reverberating sound - could relate to the sound of an earthquake
6. arrange or coil around - no
7. begin operating or running - no
8. shape by rolling - no
9. execute a roll, in tumbling - no
10. sell something to or obtain something from - no
11. move in a wavy pattern or with a rising and falling motion - this could work for earthquake waves
12. move about aimlessly or without any destination - no
13. move, rock, or sway from side to side - could relate to earthquake motion
14. cause to move by turning over - no
15. pronounce with a roll - no
16. boil vigorously - no
17. take the shape of a roll - no
18. show certain properties when being rolled - no

The phrase "the quake rolled through town" suggests the earthquake was moving through the town. Sense 2 "move along on or as if on wheels or a wheeled vehicle" with the example "The President's convoy rolled past the crowds" seems to capture the idea of something moving through a place. This is a common usage where "rolled through" means moved through an area.

Sense 5 could also be considered since earthquakes produce rumbling sounds, but the context is more about the quake moving through town rather than making a sound.

Sense 13 "move, rock, or sway from side to side" with the example "The ship rolled on the heavy seas" could also apply since earthquakes cause rocking and swaying motion.

But "the quake rolled through town" most closely matches sense 2 - "move along on or as if on wheels or a wheeled vehicle" where the example is "The President's convoy rolled past the crowds." The phrase "rolled through" is about movement through an area, which aligns with this sense.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 5 "emit, produce, or utter with a deep prolonged reverberating sound" with examples "The thunder rolled; rolling drums" - earthquakes do produce a deep rumbling sound, and "the quake rolled through town" could be describing both the sound and the motion. But the primary meaning here seems to be about the quake moving through the town.

I think sense 2 is the best fit - "move along on or as if on wheels or a wheeled vehicle" - because "rolled through town" describes the earthquake moving through the town, similar to how a convoy rolls through crowds.

The context is: "Then as things got rougher, we ran for the door..."

Here "got" means "became" - things became rougher. This is sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with synonyms "become, go" and example "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious".

The sentence "as things got rougher" means "as things became rougher" - this is clearly the "become" sense.
