Context:
Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!! So you thought I didn't mean what I said. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he <t>knew</t> where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the target word "knew" (lemma "know") in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - "However, Haney knew it was not a dream."
 - "He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."

 The specific target occurrence is: "he <t>knew</t> where he was"

 Context analysis:
 - Phil Haney is in a bar, possibly drunk ("very tight")
 - He's having a disturbing experience that feels like a dream/nightmare
 - But he is aware/cognizant that it is not a dream
 - He knows his location ("where he was")
 - He recognizes he's in the same bar, two weeks later

 Looking at the candidate senses:

 1. know%2:31:01:: - be cognizant or aware of a fact or specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about
    - Examples: "I know that the President lied", "I want to know who is winning"
    - This seems like a strong candidate. He is aware of the fact that it was not a dream, and he is aware of his location.

 2. know%2:31:03:: - know how to do or perform something
    - Examples: "knows how to knit", "know how to cook"
    - Not applicable here. He's not performing a skill.

 3. know%2:31:02:: - be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt
    - Examples: "I know that I left the key", "Galileo knew that the earth moves"
    - This is also a strong candidate. It's about being aware of the truth of a proposition.

 4. know%2:31:00:: - be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object
    - Examples: "know this composer", "know my sister"
    - Not quite right. He's not familiar with a person here (though he is familiar with the location, but the construction "knew where he was" fits better with sense 1 or 3).

 5. know%2:31:04:: - have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations
    - Synonyms: experience, live
    - Examples: "I know the feeling", "known hunger"
    - Not quite. He's not experiencing the knowledge of his location as an emotional state.

 6. know%2:31:06:: - accept (someone) to be what is claimed
    - Synonyms: acknowledge, recognize
    - Not applicable.

 7. know%2:31:15:: - have fixed in the mind
    - Examples: "I know Latin", "knows her irregular verbs"
    - Not applicable. This is about learned knowledge/memorization.

 8. know%2:35:00:: - have sexual intercourse with (archaic/biblical)
    - Not applicable.

 9. know%2:31:11:: - know the nature or character of
    - Examples: "knew her as a big show-off"
    - Not applicable.

 10. know%2:31:12:: - be able to distinguish, recognize as being different
    - Examples: "knows right from wrong"
    - Not applicable.

 11. know%2:31:14:: - perceive as familiar
    - Examples: "I know this voice"
    - This is close, but "knew where he was" is more about cognitive awareness of location rather than recognizing something as familiar.

 Now I need to distinguish between sense 1 and sense 3, as both seem plausible.

 Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
 - Focuses on possession of information/facts
 - Very general "knowing that" propositional knowledge

 Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"
 - Focuses on certainty/belief in truth
 - "True beyond any doubt"

 Looking at the examples for sense 3:
 - "I know that I left the key on the table" (certainty about a fact)
 - "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" (certainty about truth)

 Looking at the examples for sense 1:
 - "I know that the President lied to the people" (possession of information)
 - "I want to know who is winning the game!" (seeking information)

 The distinction is subtle. Sense 1 is about being cognizant/aware of specific information. Sense 3 is about regarding something as true with certainty.

 In the context "he knew where he was":
 - This is about being aware of his geographical location/situation
 - It's information about his state
 - "where he was" is a specific piece of information

 But let's look at the previous sentence: "Haney knew it was not a dream."
 - This is propositional knowledge: "it is not a dream"
 - This could be either sense 1 or 3.

 However, looking at the glosses carefully:
 Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information"
 Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something"

 The phrase "knew where he was" seems to fit sense 1 better - it's about possessing information about his location. It's factual awareness.

 But wait, "be familiar or acquainted with" (sense 4) could potentially cover "knowing a place," but "where he was" is an interrogative clause complement (indirect question), not a direct object referring to a place. So it's not "he knew the bar" (familiarity) but "he knew [the answer to] where he was" (cognitive state).

 Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy, sense 1 and 3 are closely related. Let me think about the specific indices.

 In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
 - know%2:31:01:: is usually the first sense - the general "be aware of" sense
 - know%2:31:02:: is often the "be aware of the truth" sense
 - know%2:31:03:: is the "know how" sense (procedural knowledge)

 Wait, I need to check the specific sense keys provided:
 1. know%2:31:01::
 2. know%2:31:03::
 3. know%2:31:02::
 4. know%2:31:00::
 5. know%2:31:04::
 6. know%2:31:06::
 7. know%2:31:15::
 8. know%2:35:00::
 9. know%2:31:11::
 10. know%2:31:12::
 11. know%2:31:14::

 The numbers after the second colon are the lexicographer file numbers, and the last number is the sense number within that file.

 But in the output, I just need to return the index (1-11).

 Let me reconsider the context:
 "He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."

 This is contrasting being drunk ("tight") with still having awareness of his situation/location.

 The meaning is: he was cognizant of his geographical and situational location despite being intoxicated.

 This is clearly about possessing specific information (his location) - sense 1.

 However, sense 3 could also work: "be aware of the truth of something" - he was aware of the truth that he was in the bar, not dreaming.

 But looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 examples: "I know that the President lied", "I want to know who is winning"
 - Sense 3 examples: "I know that I left the key", "Galileo knew that the earth moves"

 Both can take "that" clauses. But "where he was" is a wh-clause (indirect question).

 Actually, looking carefully at sense 1: "possess knowledge or information about"
 Looking at sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something"

 The key difference is that sense 3 emphasizes certainty/truth/belief beyond doubt, while sense 1 is about having the information.

 In the context of being drunk vs. knowing where you are, it's about having the cognitive awareness/information, not necessarily about certainty regarding a truth (though certainty is implied).

 Actually, looking at WordNet definitions more carefully:
 Sense 1 is often the generic "cognize, cognise" sense - the most general.
 Sense 3 is more specific: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

 The phrase "knew where he was" is about spatial awareness, which is a specific piece of information. This aligns with sense 1.

 Also, looking at the parallel structure: "Haney knew it was not a dream" and "he knew where he was". Both are about factual awareness.

 But I should check if there's a specific sense for "know" + wh-clause. In many dictionaries, this falls under the general "be aware" sense.

 Let me look at sense 11: "know the nature or character of" - no.
 Sense 14: "perceive as familiar" - "I know this voice" - this is recognition, but "knew where he was" is not about recognition, it's about cognitive knowledge of location.

 I think sense 1 is the best fit: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information"

 Why not sense 3? Because sense 3 emphasizes "truth" and "belief beyond doubt" which is slightly different from general awareness of information. The examples for sense 3 ("Galileo knew that the earth moves") emphasize epistemic certainty about truths, whereas sense 1 covers general knowledge of facts including one's location.

 However, there's a potential complication. In some WSD datasets, "know" + location often maps to sense 1 (the most frequent sense).

 But wait, looking at the candidate list again, sense 4 is "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object". Could "where he was" be interpreted as knowing the place (familiarity)? No, because "where he was" indicates he's determining his location, not that he's familiar with the place (though he is familiar with it, as it's the same bar). But syntactically, "know" + wh-clause typically doesn't fall under the "acquainted with" sense.

 Let me reconsider sense 3 vs sense 1.

 Sense 1: know%2:31:01:: - "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information"
 Sense 3: know%2:31:02:: - "be aware of the truth of something"

 In many WordSense versions, sense 1 is the dominant sense for "know that" and "know wh-".

 The phrase "knew where he was" is about knowing the answer to a question (where am I?), which is a specific piece of information.

 Therefore, sense 1 seems correct.

 But let me double-check the other instances in the paragraph to see if consistency is expected.
 - "Haney knew it was not a dream" - could be sense 1 or 3.
 - "So you thought I didn't mean what I said" - uses "know" implied negative.

 Actually, looking at the structure: "he knew where he was" - this is about self-location, having information about one's own position.

 I think sense 1 is the safest and most accurate choice.

 Wait, I should check if "know" in the sense of "being conscious/aware of one's surroundings" might be sense 5: "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations..." No, that's about experiencing emotions/sensations.

 Or sense 4? "be familiar or acquainted with" - if we interpret "where he was" as "the place where he was", but that's not quite right syntactically.

 So I'll go with sense 1.

 But let me reconsider sense 3 once more. The definition includes "have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". Is Haney regarding something as true beyond doubt? He is sure he's not dreaming, sure of his location. But sense 1 covers this too with "be cognizant or aware".

 In WordNet, these are distinct but closely related. Sense 1 is the hypernym, sense 3 is a specific type of knowing emphasizing truth.

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0:
 - know (cognize, cognise) - sense 1
 - know (know the nature or character of) - sense 11
 - know (know how to do something) - sense 3 in the list above is actually the "know how to" sense based on the examples ("knows how to knit").

 Wait! I need to look at the candidate list carefully:

 2. sense_key=know%2:31:03:: | definition=know how to do or perform something | examples=She knows how to knit...

 3. sense_key=know%2:31:02:: | definition=be aware of the truth of something...

 So the indexing in the candidate list is:
 1. know%2:31:01 (cognize/cognise)
 2. know%2:31:03 (know how to)
 3. know%2:31:02 (be aware of the truth)
 4. know%2:31:00 (be familiar/acquainted)
 5. know%2:31:04 (experience/live)
 6. know%2:31:06 (acknowledge/recognize)
 7. know%2:31:15 (have fixed in the mind)
 8. know%2:35:00 (sexual intercourse)
 9. know%2:31:11 (know the nature or character)
 10. know%2:31:12 (distinguish)
 11. know%2:31:14 (perceive as familiar)

 So index 2 is "know how to" (procedural knowledge).
 Index 3 is the "truth/certainty" sense.
 Index 1 is the general "cognizant/aware of facts" sense.

 So my choice is between index 1 and index 3.

 Context: "he knew where he was"
 This is declarative knowledge (knowing that/where), not procedural (index 2).
 It's not familiarity with a person (index 4).
 It's not experience (index 5).
 It's not acknowledging authority (index 6).
 It's not memorized knowledge (index 7).
 It's not sexual (index 8).
 It's not knowing someone's character (index 9).
 It's not distinguishing (index 10).
 It's not recognizing as familiar (index 11).

 So it's between 1 and 3.

 Index 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
 Index 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

 The phrase "knew where he was" is about possessing the specific information of his location. This aligns perfectly with index 1.

 Index 3 emphasizes the truth aspect and certainty ("regard as true beyond any doubt"). While Haney is certain, the focus in the text is on his awareness of his situation despite being drunk, not on the epistemic certainty of a truth.

 Also, index 1 is the most general sense and typically covers "know" + wh-clauses (where, what, who).

 Therefore, the answer should be index 1.

 Wait, I want to double-check the WordNet sense numbers. Sometimes the "know how to" sense is 2:31:00 in some versions, but here it's clearly marked as 2:31:03 in the candidates, and the "cognize" sense is 2:31:01.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet 3.0:
 - know%2:31:00:: - know, cognize, cognise (be cognizant...)
 - know%2:31:01:: - know (know the nature of...)
 - know%2:31:02:: - know (be aware of the truth...)
 - know%2:31:03:: - know (know how to do something)

 But in the candidate list:
 1. know%2:31:01:: -> this maps to "cognize/cognise"
 2. know%2:31:03:: -> this maps to "know how"
 3. know%2:31:02:: -> this maps to "be aware of the truth"

 So the candidate list has:
 1. know (cognize) - 2:31:01
 2. know (know how) - 2:31:03
 3. know (truth) - 2:31:02
 4. know (acquainted) - 2:31:00

 This is a bit confusing because the sense keys don't match the order, but the indices 1-11 are what I need to output.

 So:
 Index 1 = know%2:31:01 (cognize)
 Index 2 = know%2:31:03 (know how)
 Index 3 = know%2:31:02 (truth)

 So my choice is between index 1 and index 3.

 Given the context "knew where he was" (possessing information about location), index 1 is the correct choice.

 Final check: Is there any reason to choose index 3 (truth certainty) over index 1 (general awareness)?
 The sentence emphasizes that despite being drunk ("tight"), he was still aware of his surroundings. This is about cognitive awareness, not about certainty of truth. So index 1 is correct.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "same" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The narrator is describing a bar that the character Phil Haney is in
 - "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later"
 - This means it's the identical bar he was in before (two weeks prior)
 - The context suggests identity - it's the exact same physical location/bar he had been in previously

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=same%3:00:02:: | definition=same in identity | examples=the same man I saw yesterday; never wore the same dress twice
    - This refers to numerical identity - the exact same entity
    - Example: "the same man I saw yesterday" refers to the identical person
    - In our context: "the same bar" means the identical bar (numerical identity)

 2. sense_key=same%3:00:00:: | definition=closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree | examples=curtains the same color as the walls; two girls of the same age
    - This refers to qualitative similarity, not numerical identity
    - Example: "same color" means similar color, not the identical color patch
    - This doesn't fit because the text means the exact same bar (the identical establishment), not a similar bar

 3. sense_key=same%3:00:04:: | definition=equal in amount or value | synonyms=like | examples=like amounts; equivalent amounts
    - This refers to equality in quantity/value
    - Not applicable here

 4. sense_key=same%5:00:00:unchanged:00 | definition=unchanged in character or nature | examples=the village stayed the same; his attitude is the same as ever
    - This refers to something remaining unchanged over time
    - While the bar might be unchanged, the key meaning here is that it's the identical bar (identity), not that it hasn't changed
    - The phrase "the same bar" in this context emphasizes that it's the identical location he was in before, not necessarily that it hasn't changed (though it probably hasn't)
    - However, looking at the example "the village stayed the same" - this is about the state of the village being unchanged
    - But in "It was the same bar", the meaning is about it being the identical bar (numerical identity), not about the bar being unchanged

 Let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 4:

 Sense 1 (same%3:00:02::): "same in identity" - examples: "the same man I saw yesterday", "never wore the same dress twice"
 - This is about token identity - the exact same individual entity

 Sense 4 (same%5:00:00:unchanged:00): "unchanged in character or nature" - examples: "the village stayed the same", "his attitude is the same as ever"
 - This is about the state of something remaining constant

 In the context: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later"
 - This means it was the identical bar (the same physical establishment) that he had been in two weeks ago
 - It's not saying the bar remained unchanged (though it likely did), but rather that it's the same one (identity)
 - The contrast is with it being a dream vs reality, and the temporal marker "two weeks later" emphasizes that this is the identical location he returned to

 The example "the same man I saw yesterday" from sense 1 parallels "the same bar" - both refer to numerical identity of the entity.

 Sense 4 would fit better if the sentence were something like "the bar was the same as ever" or "the bar stayed the same", focusing on the state/condition being unchanged.

 Therefore, sense 1 (same%3:00:02::) is the best choice.

 Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense numbering. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=same%3:00:02::
 2. sense_key=same%3:00:00::
 3. sense_key=same%3:00:04::
 4. sense_key=same%5:00:00:unchanged:00

 So sense_index would be 1.

 But let me verify the definitions once more to make sure I'm not confusing them.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet:
 - same%3:00:00:: is usually the first sense (similar in kind/quality)
 - same%3:00:02:: is usually the identity sense
 - same%3:00:04:: is equal in amount
 - same%5:00:00:unchanged:00 is the unchanged sense

 The user's indexing:
 1. same%3:00:02:: - same in identity
 2. same%3:00:00:: - closely similar or comparable...
 3. same%3:00:04:: - equal in amount or value
 4. same%5:00:00:unchanged:00 - unchanged in character or nature

 So for "the same bar" meaning the identical bar (numerical identity), sense 1 is correct.

 The context emphasizes that he's in the identical physical location ("the same bar") as opposed to it being a dream or a different place. This is clearly the identity sense.

 Final check: Could it be sense 4 (unchanged)?
 - "It was the same bar" could theoretically mean the bar hadn't changed, but given the context "two weeks later", the emphasis is on it being the identical establishment he returned to, not on the bar being in an unchanged state. The narrative is about him returning to the identical location, not about the bar's condition remaining constant.

 Therefore, sense_index: 1.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "bar" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 - "It was the same <t>bar</t>, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
 - "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
 - The context involves drinking alcohol ("drink heavier than usual", "lushes" which means heavy drinkers/alcoholics)
 - There's mention of sitting at a table in a corner
 - It's a place where people go to drink alcohol

 Candidate sense analysis:
 1. sense_key=bar%1:06:04:: | definition=a room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served over a counter | synonyms=barroom, saloon, ginmill, taproom | examples=he drowned his sorrows in whiskey at the bar
    - This fits perfectly. It's an establishment where alcoholic drinks are served. The context mentions drinking heavier than usual, sitting at a table, and avoiding talkative lushes (drunk people).

 2. sense_key=bar%1:06:05:: | definition=a counter where you can obtain food or drink | examples=he bought a hot dog and a coke at the bar
    - This refers to the physical counter, not the establishment. The context says "the same bar" and mentions sitting at a "little table" (not at the counter), and it's two weeks later (suggesting the same establishment/place). Also mentions "Saturday night" which fits an establishment, not just a counter.

 3. sense_key=bar%1:06:00:: | definition=a rigid piece of metal or wood...
    - Doesn't fit. Not talking about a physical bar/object.

 4. sense_key=bar%1:10:00:: | definition=musical notation...
    - Doesn't fit. No music context.

 5. sense_key=bar%1:06:02:: | definition=an obstruction (usually metal) placed at the top of a goal...
    - Doesn't fit. Sports context.

 6. sense_key=bar%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of preventing...
    - Doesn't fit.

 7. sense_key=bar%1:23:00:: | definition=(meteorology) a unit of pressure...
    - Doesn't fit.

 8. sense_key=bar%1:17:00:: | definition=a submerged (or partly submerged) ridge...
    - Doesn't fit. Not a geographical feature.

 9. sense_key=bar%1:14:00:: | definition=the body of individuals qualified to practice law...
    - Doesn't fit. No legal context.

 10. sense_key=bar%1:07:00:: | definition=a narrow marking of a different color...
     - Doesn't fit.

 11. sense_key=bar%1:06:06:: | definition=a block of solid substance...
     - Doesn't fit. Not a bar of soap/chocolate.

 12. sense_key=bar%1:06:01:: | definition=a portable .30 caliber automatic rifle...
     - Doesn't fit.

 13. sense_key=bar%1:06:09:: | definition=a horizontal rod that serves as a support for gymnasts...
     - Doesn't fit.

 14. sense_key=bar%1:06:08:: | definition=a heating element in an electric fire...
     - Doesn't fit.

 15. sense_key=bar%1:06:07:: | definition=(law) a railing that encloses the part of the courtroom...
     - Doesn't fit.

 The best fit is clearly sense 1: "a room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served over a counter"

 The context mentions:
 - "drink heavier than usual"
 - "Saturday night" (typical bar night)
 - "sitting in the usual corner at the little table" (typical bar seating)
 - "talkative, friendly lushes" (drunk people at a bar)
 - "the same bar" (returning to the same establishment)

 This matches sense 1 perfectly.

 The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "weeks" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- "It was the same bar, and it was two <t>weeks</t> later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
- This refers to a duration of time passing - specifically two periods of seven consecutive days.
- It's talking about elapsed time between visits to the bar.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=week%1:28:00:: | definition=any period of seven consecutive days | synonyms=hebdomad | examples=it rained for a week
   - This is the general sense of a seven-day period.
   - "two weeks later" fits this perfectly - it's just saying 14 days later.

2. sense_key=week%1:28:01:: | definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | synonyms=workweek | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
   - This refers specifically to work time, workweek.
   - The context is not about work or working hours. It's about time passing between Saturday nights.

3. sense_key=week%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday | synonyms=calendar week
   - This is a calendar week specifically starting on Sunday.
   - While the text mentions "Saturday night," the phrase "two weeks later" is referring to a duration of two seven-day periods, not necessarily two calendar weeks (Sunday-to-Saturday). It's more natural to interpret this as simply 14 days later.
   - Also, sense 1 is the more general sense that covers any period of seven consecutive days, which is exactly what "two weeks later" means - a duration.

The phrase "two weeks later" almost always uses sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days) rather than sense 3 (calendar week starting on Sunday). It's measuring elapsed time/duration.

Sense 1 is the hypernym/general sense. Sense 3 is a hyponym. In "two weeks later," we're talking about two periods of seven days each, not necessarily aligned to calendar weeks starting on Sunday.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1.

Wait, let me double-check WordNet's actual sense distinctions for "week".

In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
- week%1:28:00:: - any period of seven consecutive days (e.g., "it rained for a week")
- week%1:28:01:: - "workweek" - hours or days of work in a calendar week
- week%1:28:02:: - a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday (calendar week)

The example for sense 1 is "it rained for a week" - this is durational.
The example for sense 3 would be something like "the calendar week begins on Sunday" or referring to a specific week on the calendar.

In "two weeks later", this is clearly durational - measuring elapsed time. This aligns with sense 1.

Actually, looking at the context again: "it was two weeks later -- Saturday night". The mention of Saturday night might suggest alignment with calendar weeks, but "two weeks later" from a Saturday night would be another Saturday night, which is exactly 14 days later. It doesn't require the calendar week sense (starting on Sunday). Saturday to Saturday is 7 days, but that's just a fact about the length, not necessarily invoking the "calendar week" sense which emphasizes the Sunday-starting convention.

Also, in WSD tasks, "two weeks later" and similar durational phrases almost always map to sense 1.

So the answer should be sense_index: 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "night" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 - The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday <t>night</t>, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
 - This refers to a specific time period: Saturday night.
 - It's referring to the evening/nighttime hours when people typically go to bars and drink.
 - The context suggests a specific time of day - the period after sunset when bars are open and people drink.

 Candidate sense analysis:
 1. sense_key=night%1:28:00:: | definition=the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside | synonyms=nighttime, dark
    - This is the general definition of night as a time period when it's dark.
    - "Saturday night" fits this - the time after sunset on Saturday.

 2. sense_key=night%1:28:01:: | definition=a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom
    - Metaphorical sense. Not applicable here - it's literally referring to a time of week.

 3. sense_key=night%1:28:04:: | definition=the period spent sleeping | examples=I had a restless night
    - This refers specifically to the time spent sleeping. While related, "Saturday night" in the context of going to a bar refers to the evening/nighttime social hours, not specifically the sleeping period.

 4. sense_key=night%1:28:02:: | definition=the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit | examples=three nights later he collapsed
    - This seems to refer to "night" as a unit of time in counting (like "three nights").
    - While "Saturday night" is a time unit, this sense seems more focused on the cyclic/sequential aspect.

 5. sense_key=night%1:26:00:: | definition=darkness | examples=it vanished into the night
    - This refers to darkness as a physical phenomenon or state.
    - "Saturday night" is not referring to darkness itself, but the time period.

 6. sense_key=night%1:28:05:: | definition=a shortening of nightfall | examples=they worked from morning to night
    - This equates night with nightfall (the event of becoming night).
    - "Saturday night" refers to the entire period, not just the moment of nightfall.

 7. sense_key=night%1:28:03:: | definition=the time between sunset and midnight | examples=he watched television every night
    - This is more specific - evening hours before midnight.
    - "Saturday night" when drinking at a bar could fit this, but bars are often open past midnight.
    - However, socially "Saturday night" often refers to the evening entertainment hours.

 8. sense_key=night%1:18:00:: | definition=Roman goddess...
    - Proper noun, not applicable.

 Comparing sense 1 and sense 7:
 - Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - this is the broad, standard definition.
 - Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight" - this is more specific, excluding the late night/early morning hours.

 In the context "Saturday night", when referring to drinking at a bar, it typically means the evening/nighttime hours. However, sense 1 is the primary sense and covers the general time period.

 Looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 examples would be like "at night", "by night"
 - Sense 7 example: "he watched television every night" - this suggests evening activities.

 But "Saturday night" as a specific social time is best captured by sense 1 or sense 7.

 Actually, looking carefully at WordNet:
 - Sense 1 (night%1:28:00::) is the main sense - the time after sunset and before sunrise.
 - Sense 7 (night%1:28:03::) is specifically "the time between sunset and midnight" - often distinguished as "evening" in some contexts, but in WordNet it's a separate sense.

 However, in common usage, "Saturday night" refers to the entire nighttime period of Saturday (from sunset to sunrise Sunday). But socially, it often means the evening hours.

 But looking at the specific context: "Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" - this refers to the social convention of drinking on Saturday evenings/nights.

 Between sense 1 and sense 7:
 - Sense 1 is the hypernym/general time period.
 - Sense 7 is a hyponym/specific portion (before midnight).

 Which is better? "Saturday night" typically includes the late hours too. But the text mentions "two weeks later -- Saturday night" which is specifying a particular time.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
 - Sense 1 is the main sense.
 - Sense 7 is "the time between sunset and midnight" - this is often what people mean by "night" in the context of evening activities (watching TV, going out).

 But wait, there's also sense 4: "the period spent sleeping" - no, that's not it.

 Let me reconsider sense 2: "a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom" - metaphorical, not applicable.

 Sense 5: "darkness" - "it vanished into the night" - this is the physical darkness, not the time period.

 Sense 6: "a shortening of nightfall" - this would be the event, not the duration.

 So it's between 1, 7, and possibly 4.

 Sense 4: "the period spent sleeping" - example "I had a restless night". This refers to the sleep period. But "Saturday night" in the context of drinking at a bar is not primarily about sleeping.

 So between 1 and 7.

 Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside"
 Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight"

 "Saturday night" when drinking could extend past midnight, but the phrase "Saturday night" generally refers to the evening/nighttime period of Saturday.

 However, looking at the WordNet examples for sense 7: "he watched television every night" - this is a habitual activity done in the evening.

 For sense 1: "nighttime, dark" - this is the general concept.

 In WSD tasks, "Saturday night" is typically annotated with sense 1 (the general time period after sunset).

 But let me check if there's a distinction. Sense 7 might be too restrictive (sunset to midnight) because "Saturday night" at a bar could easily go past midnight.

 Actually, looking at the context again: "it was two weeks later -- Saturday night". This is specifying a particular day/time. This is similar to "three nights later" (which is sense 4? No, sense 4 is sleeping period).

 Wait, sense 4: "the period spent sleeping" - example "I had a restless night", "three nights later he collapsed" - actually that example is attached to sense 2 in my list? Let me check.

 The user provided:
 4. sense_key=night%1:28:04:: | definition=the period spent sleeping | examples=I had a restless night

 And:
 2. sense_key=night%1:28:02:: | definition=the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit | examples=three nights later he collapsed

 So sense 2 is about "night" as a time unit for counting (three nights later).

 But "Saturday night" is a specific instance, not a count.

 I think sense 1 is the best fit. "Saturday night" refers to the nighttime hours of Saturday - the time after sunset and before sunrise.

 Sense 7 is too specific (sunset to midnight) and might exclude late night drinking hours.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense index 1.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=...
 2. sense_key=...
 3. sense_key=...
 etc.

 So the index corresponds to the number in the list.

 Sense 1: night%1:28:00::
 Sense 2: night%1:28:01::
 Sense 3: night%1:28:04::
 Sense 4: night%1:28:02::
 Sense 5: night%1:26:00::
 Sense 6: night%1:28:05::
 Sense 7: night%1:28:03::
 Sense 8: night%1:18:00::

 So if I choose sense_key night%1:28:00::, the index is 1.

 But let me double-check sense 7. The definition "the time between sunset and midnight" - is this what "Saturday night" means?

 In many contexts, "night" means evening (before midnight) vs "late night" (after midnight). But "Saturday night" as a whole includes both.

 However, looking at the example for sense 7: "he watched television every night" - this suggests the evening hours before bed.

 But in the context of drinking at a bar, "Saturday night" is definitely the social evening/nighttime period.

 Actually, I should check if "night" in "Saturday night" could be sense 4 (the period spent sleeping)? No, because he's drinking at the bar during this time, not sleeping.

 Could it be sense 2 (ignorance/gloom)? No.

 Could it be sense 5 (darkness)? No, it's a time reference.

 So it's either 1 or 7.

 Given that WordNet sense 1 is the most common and general sense for "night" referring to the time period, and "Saturday night" is a specific instance of that time period, I will go with index 1.

 But I want to verify: in standard WSD datasets like SemCor or OntoNotes, how is "night" disambiguated?

 In general, "night" as a time period (after sunset, before sunrise) is sense 1.

 Sense 7 (sunset to midnight) is a narrower sense. If the text specified "every night" referring to TV watching, it might be 7. But "Saturday night" as a specific date/time is likely sense 1.

 Also, the phrase "Saturday night" is a compound referring to the evening/nighttime of Saturday.

 I think index 1 is correct.

 Final check: The context is about a bar scene, drinking, "Saturday night" - this is the nighttime hours when bars are active. This fits "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" (sense 1) better than the restricted "sunset to midnight" (sense 7), since bar drinking often continues past midnight, and "Saturday night" culturally includes the late hours.

 Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "had" (lemma: have) in the given context.

 Let me analyze the sentence: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he <t>had</t> an excuse to drink heavier than usual."

 The key context is: "he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual"

 The meaning here is that he possessed or had available an excuse/reason to drink more heavily because it was Saturday night.

 Looking at the candidate senses:

 1. "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" - This could work. "He had an excuse" means he possessed an excuse.

 2. "have as a feature" - No, an excuse isn't a feature.

 3. "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" - No, he's not experiencing the excuse as a state.

 4. "have ownership or possession of" - This is close to sense 1 but more about ownership. You don't really "own" an excuse in the same way you own a house.

 5. "cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition" - No, causative sense doesn't fit.

 6. "serve oneself to, or consume regularly" - No, not consuming an excuse.

 7. "have a personal or business relationship with someone" - No, not about relationships.

 8. "organize or be responsible for" - No, not organizing an excuse.

 9. "have left" - No, not about remaining.

 10. "be confronted with" - No, he's not being confronted with an excuse.

 11. "undergo" - No.

 12. "suffer from; be ill with" - No.

 13. "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner" - No causative meaning here.

 14. "receive willingly something given or offered" - No, not receiving an excuse from someone.

 15. "get something; come into possession of" - Similar to sense 1, but this emphasizes the act of receiving/getting rather than the state of possession.

 16. "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" - No.

 17. "achieve a point or goal" - No.

 18. "cause to be born" - No.

 19. "have sex with" - No.

 So it's between sense 1 and sense 4 and sense 15.

 Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" - examples: "She has $1,000 in the bank; He has got two beautiful daughters"
 Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of" - examples: "He owns three houses in Florida; How many cars does she have?"
 Sense 15: "get something; come into possession of" - examples: "receive payment; receive a gift"

 In the context "he had an excuse", this is about possessing/having an excuse (an abstract thing), not about ownership (like owning a car), and not about receiving something (coming into possession).

 The phrase "have an excuse" is a standard collocation meaning "possess a justification/reason". This fits sense 1 best: having/possessing something in an abstract sense.

 Sense 1 seems to be the general "have got/hold" sense for abstract and concrete possession, while sense 4 is specifically about ownership (which is more concrete and often legal). An excuse is abstract, so sense 1 is better.

 Also, looking at sense 1's examples: "She has $1,000 in the bank" (concrete), "He has got two beautiful daughters" (abstract/concrete depending on view, but relationship). Actually, having daughters could be seen as possessing them in a broad sense.

 Wait, looking more carefully at the sense keys:
 - sense_key=have%2:40:00:: is the general possessive
 - sense_key=have%2:40:04:: is the ownership sense

 The distinction in WordNet is often that sense 4 (have%2:40:04::) is specifically about ownership ("own, possess"), while sense 1 is about having/holding in a broader sense.

 "Have an excuse" is definitely the general possession sense (sense 1), not the ownership sense.

 Also, sense 15 is about receiving/getting, which doesn't fit because the text doesn't suggest he received the excuse at that moment, but rather that he possessed it (Saturday night provided the excuse).

 Therefore, the best sense is sense 1.

 Wait, let me double-check if there's any other sense that might fit better.

 Sense 14: "receive willingly something given or offered" - "The only girl who would have him..." - this is about accepting/receiving a person (archaic or specific usage). Not relevant.

 Sense 10: "be confronted with" - "What do we have here?" - Not relevant.

 So yes, sense 1 is the correct choice.

 Actually, looking at the instruction again: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

 So I need to return the index number. The candidates are numbered 1-19, so I should return the index of the chosen sense.

 I choose sense 1.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "excuse" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The character Phil Haney is in a bar
 - It's Saturday night
 - He has an "excuse" to drink heavier than usual
 - He's sitting in a corner avoiding people

 The key phrase is: "he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual"

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=excuse%1:10:00:: | definition=a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc. | synonyms=alibi, exculpation, self-justification | examples=he kept finding excuses to stay; every day he had a new alibi for not getting a job

 This sense refers to a justification or defense for behavior. In the context, Haney has a reason/justification to drink more than usual (perhaps because it's Saturday night, or some other reason). This fits well with "excuse to drink heavier" - meaning a justification or reason that allows him to drink more.

 2. sense_key=excuse%1:10:01:: | definition=a note explaining an absence | examples=he had to get his mother to write an excuse for him

 This is about a written note to explain absence from school or work. The context doesn't mention any written note or absence from somewhere. This doesn't fit.

 3. sense_key=excuse%1:09:00:: | definition=a poor example | synonyms=apology | examples=it was an apology for a meal; a poor excuse for an automobile

 This sense is used in phrases like "a poor excuse for a meal" meaning a very bad example of a meal. The context doesn't use "excuse" in this way - it's not saying he is "a poor excuse for a drinker" or anything like that. Instead, it's saying he has an excuse (reason/justification) to drink.

 So sense 1 is the best fit. The context suggests he has a justification or reason (Saturday night) that allows him to drink more heavily than usual.

 The example given for sense 1 includes "he kept finding excuses to stay" which is structurally similar to "he had an excuse to drink heavier."

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "drink" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - "He might be very tight" - "tight" here means drunk/intoxicated
 - "It was the same bar" - setting is a bar
 - "Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" - this suggests consuming alcohol, and "heavier than usual" implies drinking alcohol in larger quantities
 - "sitting in the usual corner... far from any talkative, friendly lushes" - "lushes" refers to drunkards/alcoholics
 - The overall context is about a bar, being drunk ("tight"), and drinking alcohol

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. drink%2:34:00:: - take in liquids (general sense, like drinking water, soda, etc.)
    - Examples: "The patient must drink several liters each day; The children like to drink soda"
    - This is the general sense of consuming any liquid.

 2. drink%2:34:01:: - consume alcohol
    - Synonyms: booze, fuddle
    - Examples: "We were up drinking all night"
    - This specifically means drinking alcoholic beverages.

 3. drink%2:34:12:: - propose a toast to
    - Synonyms: toast, pledge, salute, wassail
    - Examples: "Let us toast the birthday girl!; Let's drink to the New Year"
    - This is about making a toast, not just drinking.

 4. drink%2:31:00:: - be fascinated or spell-bound by; pay close attention to
    - Synonyms: drink in
    - Examples: "The mother drinks in every word of her son on the stage"
    - This is a metaphorical sense "drink in".

 5. drink%2:34:02:: - drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic
    - Synonyms: tope
    - Examples: "The husband drinks and beats his wife"
    - This specifically implies excessive drinking or alcoholism.

 Analysis:
 The context mentions:
 - "very tight" (drunk)
 - "bar"
 - "Saturday night" (context for social drinking)
 - "drink heavier than usual" (implies drinking more alcohol than normal)
 - "lushes" (drunkards)

 The phrase "drink heavier than usual" strongly suggests consuming alcohol, and the context of being in a bar, being "tight" (drunk), and avoiding "lushes" (drunkards) all points to alcoholic consumption.

 Now, is it sense 2 (consume alcohol) or sense 5 (drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic)?

 Sense 5 is specifically about excessive amounts or being an alcoholic ("tope" means to drink alcohol to excess). The context says "drink heavier than usual" which could suggest drinking more than his usual amount, but does it imply "excessive amounts" in the sense of alcoholism or just "more alcohol than usual"?

 Looking at the example for sense 5: "The husband drinks and beats his wife" - this suggests a pattern of alcoholism/abuse.
 Looking at sense 2: "We were up drinking all night" - this is general alcohol consumption.

 The phrase "heavier than usual" modifies "drink" - it means he drinks more alcohol on Saturday nights than on other occasions. This fits sense 2 (consume alcohol) with an intensifier ("heavier").

 Sense 5 is more about the behavior of being an alcoholic or drinking to excess habitually. While "heavier than usual" implies more quantity, the core sense here is "consume alcohol" (sense 2) with a specification of quantity, rather than the specific sense of "drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic" (sense 5).

 Also, sense 2's examples include "We were up drinking all night" which fits the bar context. The word "heavier" here refers to drinking more alcohol, not necessarily being alcoholic.

 However, looking closely at sense 5: "drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic". The context mentions he might be "very tight" (drunk), and it's "two weeks later" suggesting a pattern, and he sits away from "lushes" (which might imply he doesn't want to be associated with heavy drinkers, or he is one himself).

 But the key is the phrase "drink heavier than usual". This is comparative - he's drinking more than his usual amount. This fits the general "consume alcohol" sense with a modifier of quantity. Sense 5 is specifically about excessive drinking or alcoholism as a condition.

 Let me reconsider the distinction between sense 2 and sense 5:
 - Sense 2: consume alcohol (general)
 - Sense 5: drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic (specific to excess/alcoholism)

 In the sentence: "when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual"
 - "heavier than usual" implies he usually drinks some amount, but on Saturday he drinks more.
 - This is still within the general "consume alcohol" sense, just with quantity specified.
 - If it were sense 5, it would imply he engages in excessive drinking or is an alcoholic.

 Given that he distinguishes himself from "lushes" (sitting far from them), and the mention of being "tight" (drunk) on this particular occasion, but the sentence is about having an excuse to drink more on Saturday night specifically, sense 2 seems most appropriate.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 5 again: "The husband drinks and beats his wife" - this uses "drinks" as a habitual verb indicating alcoholism.

 In our context: "when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" - this is about a specific occasion (Saturday night) when he drinks more than usual. This is not necessarily describing him as an alcoholic (sense 5), but rather describing the act of consuming alcohol (sense 2) in greater quantity.

 Therefore, sense 2 (consume alcohol) is the best fit.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 1 vs sense 2. Could it be just general drinking (sense 1)?
 - The context mentions "tight" (drunk), "bar", "lushes" - all alcohol-specific terms.
 - If it were just general liquids, these contextual clues wouldn't make sense.
 - So it's definitely sense 2 or 5.

 Between 2 and 5:
 Sense 2 definition: consume alcohol
 Sense 5 definition: drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic

 The phrase "heavier than usual" suggests drinking more alcohol than his typical consumption. While this could border on excessive, the sense key definitions distinguish between general alcohol consumption (sense 2) and specifically excessive/alcoholic consumption (sense 5).

 Given that he has an "excuse" to drink heavier (implying it's a special occasion - Saturday night), this suggests situational increase in alcohol consumption rather than chronic excessive drinking/alcoholism (sense 5). An alcoholic doesn't need an "excuse" for Saturday night; they drink excessively regularly. Here, the Saturday night is the exception ("heavier than usual"), implying usual days are lighter.

 Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

 But wait, I should verify the sense indices. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=drink%2:34:00::
 2. sense_key=drink%2:34:01::
 3. sense_key=drink%2:34:12::
 4. sense_key=drink%2:31:00::
 5. sense_key=drink%2:34:02::

 So:
 Index 1: take in liquids
 Index 2: consume alcohol
 Index 3: propose a toast
 Index 4: drink in (metaphorical)
 Index 5: drink excessive amounts/be alcoholic

 My analysis points to index 2.

 Let me reconsider if it could be index 5. The phrase "drink heavier than usual" - if he's drinking heavily enough to be "very tight" (drunk), and it's a pattern ("two weeks later", "usual corner"), could this indicate the excessive/alcoholic sense?

 However, the key distinction in WordNet is usually:
 - Sense 2: to drink alcoholic beverages (general)
 - Sense 5: to drink to excess, tope

 The example for sense 5: "The husband drinks and beats his wife" - this indicates a habitual state.
 The example for sense 2: "We were up drinking all night" - this indicates an activity.

 In the context: "when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" - this is about the activity on a specific night (Saturday), comparative to other nights. This aligns with sense 2 (the activity of consuming alcohol), modified by "heavier".

 Also, if sense 5 were intended, it would likely be used intransitively to mean "engage in excessive drinking" or "be an alcoholic", not necessarily "drink heavier" (though grammatically possible).

 I think sense 2 is the safest and most accurate choice.

 Final check: The context clearly establishes an alcoholic beverage context (bar, tight, lushes). The action is consuming alcohol. It's not a toast (sense 3), not metaphorical (sense 4), and not necessarily the specific "excessive/alcoholic" sense (sense 5) but rather the general "consume alcohol" sense (sense 2).

 Answer: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "usual" in the given context.

Context analysis:
- The target word appears twice in the context: "drink heavier than usual" and "sitting in the usual corner"
- The context describes a man (Phil Haney) in a bar, two weeks later, on Saturday night
- "drink heavier than usual" means drinking more than he typically/regularly does
- "the usual corner" means the corner he typically/regularly sits in

Candidate sense analysis:
1. sense_key=usual%3:00:00:: - "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure"
   - This refers to something that happens regularly, customarily, or as part of normal practice
   - Examples: "grew the usual vegetables" (regular/customary vegetables), "the usual summer heat" (typical/regular heat)

2. sense_key=usual%5:00:00:familiar:02 - "commonly encountered"
   - Synonyms: common
   - Examples: "a common (or familiar) complaint", "the usual greeting"
   - This seems to emphasize frequency of occurrence in general (commonly encountered by anyone), not necessarily habitual practice for a specific subject

In the context:
- "drink heavier than usual" - comparing to his regular drinking habits/practice
- "the usual corner" - his regular/customary corner

The key distinction seems to be:
- Sense 1: In accordance with regular practice or procedure (habitual, customary for a specific subject)
- Sense 2: Commonly encountered (frequent in general experience)

In the phrase "heavier than usual", it means "heavier than his regular amount" or "heavier than is customary for him". This fits "in accordance with regular practice or procedure" (sense 1).

In "the usual corner", it means "his customary corner" or "the corner he regularly sits in". This also fits sense 1 - the corner he habitually uses.

Sense 2 would be more like "a usual complaint" meaning a complaint that is commonly heard by many people, not specific to one person's habits.

Therefore, sense 1 (usual%3:00:00::) is the best fit.

Wait, let me check WordNet to make sure I understand the distinction correctly.

Sense 1 (usual%3:00:00::): This is the main adjective sense - "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure"

Sense 2 (usual%5:00:00:familiar:02): This is a satellite adjective (indicated by the 5 in the sense key), similar to "common" or "familiar" - meaning "commonly encountered"

In the context:
- "drink heavier than usual" = heavier than his regular/customary drinking
- "the usual corner" = his regular/customary corner

Both refer to Haney's personal regular practice/habit, not something commonly encountered by people in general.

Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

The user wants the answer as: {"sense_index": 1}

Wait, the user said "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}" - so I need to return the index number of the sense I choose. The senses are listed as 1 and 2. So I should return {"sense_index": 1} or {"sense_index": 2}.

I choose sense 1.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "sitting" in the given context. The target lemma is "sit" and the surface form is "sitting".

Let me analyze the context:
- The character Phil Haney is in a bar
- He had been "sitting" in the usual corner at the little table
- He is positioned far from talkative people
- He is drinking bourbon

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=sit%2:35:00:: | definition=be seated | synonyms=sit down
   - This means to be in a seated position. The progressive "had been sitting" suggests a state of being seated.

2. sense_key=sit%2:42:00:: | definition=be around, often idly or without specific purpose | synonyms=sit around | examples=The object sat in the corner; We sat around chatting for another hour
   - This implies idleness or loitering. While he is in a corner, the context emphasizes the physical position (at a table) rather than just "being around idly".

3. sense_key=sit%2:38:00:: | definition=take a seat | synonyms=sit down
   - This is the action of sitting down (inceptive). But "had been sitting" suggests a continuous state, not the action of taking a seat.

4. sense_key=sit%2:38:01:: | definition=be in session | examples=When does the court of law sit?
   - This is for institutions like courts. Not applicable here.

5. sense_key=sit%2:39:00:: | definition=assume a posture as for artistic purposes | synonyms=model, pose, posture
   - This is for modeling/posing. Not applicable.

6. sense_key=sit%2:38:03:: | definition=sit and travel on the back of animal | synonyms=ride
   - Not applicable (no horse mentioned).

7. sense_key=sit%2:42:05:: | definition=be located or situated somewhere | examples=The White House sits on Pennsylvania Avenue
   - This is for objects/buildings being located. While people can "sit" in this sense, it's usually for static positioning of objects. Here, it's a person actively seated at a table.

8. sense_key=sit%2:41:05:: | definition=work or act as a baby-sitter
   - Not applicable.

9. sense_key=sit%2:35:01:: | definition=show to a seat; assign a seat for | synonyms=seat, sit down
   - This is transitive (causative). The subject seats someone else. Here, Haney is the one sitting, not seating someone else.

10. sense_key=sit%2:33:00:: | definition=serve in a specific professional capacity
    - Not applicable (not serving on a jury or as a priest).

Now between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1: "be seated" - This is the stative meaning of being in a seated position.
- Sense 2: "be around, often idly" - This emphasizes idleness or being present without purpose.

The context: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table"
- This describes his physical posture/position at the table.
- It's about being seated (sense 1), not just "being around" (sense 2).
- The phrase "at the little table" strongly suggests the seated position for drinking/eating.

Sense 1 (sit%2:35:00::) is defined as "be seated" with synonym "sit down". This is the stative sense.
Sense 3 (sit%2:38:00::) is "take a seat" - this is the inceptive/action sense.

Since it's "had been sitting" (past perfect progressive), it describes a state that was ongoing, not the action of sitting down. So sense 1 is better than sense 3.

Sense 2 could be tempting because of "in the corner", but the examples for sense 2 include "The object sat in the corner" (like a vase) and "We sat around chatting" (idling). Here, Haney is specifically at a table, drinking, which is the typical use of "sit" meaning "be seated".

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1: sit%2:35:00:: (be seated).

Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists them as 1-10. So sense_index should be 1.

But let me verify the WordNet sense keys to make sure I understand the numbering:
1. sit%2:35:00:: - be seated
2. sit%2:42:00:: - be around, often idly...
3. sit%2:38:00:: - take a seat
4. sit%2:38:01:: - be in session
5. sit%2:39:00:: - assume a posture...
6. sit%2:38:03:: - sit and travel on animal
7. sit%2:42:05:: - be located or situated
8. sit%2:41:05:: - baby-sit
9. sit%2:35:01:: - show to a seat (transitive)
10. sit%2:33:00:: - serve in professional capacity

Yes, sense 1 is the correct choice.

Actually, looking carefully at sense 1 and sense 3:
- Sense 1: be seated (stative)
- Sense 3: take a seat (inceptive/action)

"Had been sitting" is clearly stative - describing the state of being seated over a period of time. So sense 1 is correct.

One more check: Could it be sense 7 (be located)? "The White House sits..." - this is for inanimate objects or buildings. While occasionally used for people, it's not the primary sense when someone is at a table in a bar. The context emphasizes the posture (sitting vs standing) and the activity (drinking at a table).

So definitely sense 1.

Let me think about the difference:
- Sense 1: occurring frequently or in accordance with regular practice/procedure. This fits "usual corner" as in the corner he regularly sits in, his habitual spot.
- Sense 2: commonly encountered (synonym: common). This would be more like "the usual complaint" meaning something that happens often to many people, or is commonly seen.

In this context, "the usual corner" means his regular/habitual corner - the one he typically sits in. This aligns with sense 1 (occurring in accordance with regular practice or procedure). It's his personal routine/habit.

Sense 2 would be more about something being commonplace or familiar to people in general, not necessarily a personal habit. "A common complaint" is something many people have. But "his usual corner" is specific to his regular practice.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Wait, let me double-check WordNet sense numbering. The user provides:
1. sense_key=usual%3:00:00::
2. sense_key=usual%5:00:00:familiar:02

So the indices are 1 and 2.

I need to return {"sense_index": 1}.

Let me verify:
- "usual corner" = the corner he habitually sits in
- Sense 1: "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure"
- Sense 2: "commonly encountered" (syn: common)

Yes, sense 1 is about regular practice/procedure, which fits a habitual seating spot. Sense 2 is about being commonplace. The corner might not be commonly encountered by others, but it is his regular spot.

Actually, looking at the examples for sense 1: "grew the usual vegetables; the usual summer heat" - these refer to typical/standard things.
Examples for sense 2: "a common (or familiar) complaint; the usual greeting" - these refer to things that are commonplace.

But "usual corner" in the sense of "his usual corner" is definitely sense 1 - the one that is in accordance with regular practice (his practice).

Actually, I should be careful. In WordNet, "usual" as an adjective:
- Sense 1: occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure
- Sense 2: commonly encountered (similar to familiar)

"Usual corner" means the corner he customarily sits in. This is regular practice. So sense 1.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

Target lemma: corner
Target surface form: corner
Context:
The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual <t>corner</t> at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "corner" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The scene is in a bar
 - "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table"
 - "as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes"
 - This describes a physical location within a room (the bar)

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=corner%1:15:02:: | definition=a place off to the side of an area | examples=he tripled to the rightfield corner; the southeastern corner of the Mediterranean
    - This seems to be about areas/regions, not interior room corners.

 2. sense_key=corner%1:15:00:: | definition=the point where two lines meet or intersect | examples=the corners of a rectangle
    - Geometric/mathematical sense.

 3. sense_key=corner%1:06:02:: | definition=an interior angle formed by two meeting walls | synonyms=nook | examples=a piano was in one corner of the room
    - This fits perfectly! It's an interior angle formed by walls, has synonym "nook", and the example mentions "in one corner of the room" which matches our context of sitting in a corner of a bar.

 4. sense_key=corner%1:06:00:: | definition=the intersection of two streets | synonyms=street corner, turning point | examples=standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
    - This is an outdoor street corner, not an interior corner of a room.

 5. sense_key=corner%1:15:01:: | definition=the point where three areas or surfaces meet or intersect | examples=the corners of a cube
    - Geometric, three-dimensional.

 6. sense_key=corner%1:25:00:: | definition=a small concavity | synonyms=recess, recession, niche
    - This could potentially fit but seems more about small hollows/indentations rather than the corner of a room where one sits.

 7. sense_key=corner%1:26:00:: | definition=a temporary monopoly on a kind of commercial trade | examples=a corner on the silver market
    - Figurative/metaphorical sense about markets.

 8. sense_key=corner%1:26:01:: | definition=a predicament from which a skillful or graceful escape is impossible | synonyms=box | examples=his lying got him into a tight corner
    - Figurative sense (in a tight corner).

 9. sense_key=corner%1:17:00:: | definition=a projecting part where two sides or edges meet | examples=he knocked off the corners
    - Physical object corners (like of a box).

 10. sense_key=corner%1:15:03:: | definition=a remote area | examples=in many corners of the world they still practice slavery
     - Figurative/remote location sense.

 11. sense_key=corner%1:06:01:: | definition=(architecture) solid exterior angle of a building; especially one formed by a cornerstone | synonyms=quoin
     - Exterior architectural angle.

 The context clearly describes someone sitting in the corner of a bar - an interior space formed by two meeting walls. The example in sense 3 "a piano was in one corner of the room" is almost identical in structure to "sitting in the usual corner at the little table".

 Sense 3 (corner%1:06:02::) is the best fit: "an interior angle formed by two meeting walls" with synonym "nook" and example "a piano was in one corner of the room".

 The index for this sense in the list provided is 3.

 Wait, let me double-check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=corner%1:15:02::
 2. sense_key=corner%1:15:00::
 3. sense_key=corner%1:06:02::
 4. sense_key=corner%1:06:00::
 5. sense_key=corner%1:15:01::
 6. sense_key=corner%1:25:00::
 7. sense_key=corner%1:26:00::
 8. sense_key=corner%1:26:01::
 9. sense_key=corner%1:17:00::
 10. sense_key=corner%1:15:03::
 11. sense_key=corner%1:06:01::

 So sense 3 is indeed corner%1:06:02:: which matches my analysis.

 The answer should be: {"sense_index": 3}
