3. definition=a member of the European royal family that ruled France
4. definition=a European royal line that ruled in France (from 1589-1793) and Spain and Naples and Sicily

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of the word "bourbon" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with <t>bourbon</t> slightly moistened with water."

Let me look at the four senses provided:

1. definition=a reactionary politician in the United States (usually from the South)
2. definition=whiskey distilled from a mash of corn and malt and rye and aged in charred oak barrels
3. definition=a member of the European royal family that ruled France
4. definition=a European royal line that ruled in France (from 1589-1793) and Spain and Naples and Sicily

In the sentence, the context is "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water." This clearly refers to drinking an alcoholic beverage. The phrase "slightly moistened with water" suggests diluting a drink with water. "Washing down" is an idiom often used with food or drink.

Sense 2 describes whiskey, which is an alcoholic beverage. This fits the context perfectly.

Sense 1 refers to a politician, which doesn't make sense in this context (you don't wash down grievances with a politician).

Senses 3 and 4 refer to European royalty or royal families, which also don't fit the context of drinking.

Therefore, the correct answer is sense 2.

The user wants only the number returned, so I should return just "2".

The user wants me to identify which sense of "water" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with <t>water</t>."

The context is about bourbon (whiskey) being moistened with water. This is referring to adding water to bourbon to dilute it or moisten it.

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent
   - This is the chemical definition of water (H2O). This could fit because they're adding the liquid water to bourbon.

2. definition=the part of the earth's surface covered with water (such as a river or lake or ocean) | examples=they invaded our territorial waters
   - This refers to bodies of water, not the liquid being added to a drink.

3. definition=once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles)
   - This is the classical element sense, not relevant here.

4. definition=a facility that provides a source of water | examples=the town debated the purification of the water supply
   - This refers to water supply systems/facilities, not the liquid itself.

5. definition=liquid excretory product | examples=there was blood in his urine
   - This is urine, clearly not what's being added to bourbon.

6. definition=a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants | examples=he asked for a drink of water
   - This refers to water as a drink or sustenance.

Now, in the sentence, water is being added to bourbon to moisten it. This is referring to water as the liquid substance (H2O).

Between sense 1 and sense 6:
- Sense 1 is the chemical/physical definition of water as a compound.
- Sense 6 is water as a drink or sustenance for living things.

The sentence mentions "bourbon slightly moistened with water" - this is referring to water as the liquid substance added to the bourbon.

Sense 1 seems to be the most general definition of water as the chemical substance/liquid. Sense 6 is more specific to water for drinking/hydration.

However, looking at the example for sense 6: "he asked for a drink of water" - this suggests water as a beverage.

In the sentence, water is being mixed with bourbon. It's being used as a liquid to dilute/moisten the bourbon.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 defines water as the chemical compound, the physical substance.
- Sense 6 defines it as "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants" with the example of drinking it.

In the context of adding water to bourbon, we're talking about the liquid substance H2O. This could be either 1 or 6.

But sense 1 is the primary definition - the chemical substance. Sense 6 is about its role as a necessity for life.

When you add water to bourbon, you're adding the chemical compound H2O (sense 1), not necessarily emphasizing it as something necessary for life (sense 6).

However, looking at typical word sense disambiguation datasets (like WordNet), sense 1 is usually the general substance sense, and sense 6 is the sense of "drinking water" or water as sustenance.

Let me reconsider the sentence: "bourbon slightly moistened with water"

This is clearly referring to water as a liquid added to bourbon. In WordNet, the first sense of water is usually the liquid form of H2O.

Actually, looking at the definitions again:
1. "binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid..." - This is the chemical definition.
6. "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants" - This emphasizes the biological necessity.

In the context of moistening bourbon with water, it's most likely sense 1 - the chemical compound/liquid. But it could also be sense 6.

Wait, let me think about this more carefully. The phrase is "moistened with water".

In WordNet (which these definitions look like they come from):
- Sense 1: water, H2O - binary compound...
- Sense 2: body of water, water - the part of the earth's surface covered with water...
- Sense 3: water - once thought to be one of four elements...
- Sense 4: water system, water supply, water - a facility that provides a source of water...
- Sense 5: urine, piss, pee, piddle, weewee, water - liquid excretory product...
- Sense 6: water - a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants...

Actually, looking at the example for sense 6: "he asked for a drink of water" - this is about drinking water.

In the sentence, water is being added to bourbon as a liquid. This is most consistent with sense 1 - the chemical substance.

But let me double check. When someone adds water to whiskey/bourbon, are they adding:
- Sense 1: the binary compound H2O?
- Sense 6: the liquid necessary for life?

Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully, sense 6 might be specifically about water as a beverage or sustenance. The definition says "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants" and the example is "he asked for a drink of water."

In the bourbon context, "moistened with water" is using water as a liquid substance to dilute the bourbon. This is sense 1.

However, I should consider if there's any other interpretation.

Actually, looking at similar examples in WordNet sense disambiguation, when water is mentioned as an ingredient or additive (like in cooking or mixing drinks), it's usually sense 1.

Sense 6 is more about the concept of water as something you drink to survive or hydrate.

So my answer is 1.

But wait, let me reconsider one more time. The phrase is "bourbon slightly moistened with water".

Could this be sense 6? "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants" - well, water is necessary for life, but in this context, it's being used to moisten bourbon, not being consumed for survival (though it is being consumed).

Actually, looking at the exact wording of sense 6: "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants | examples=he asked for a drink of water"

The example shows it's about drinking water. When you add water to bourbon, you're adding drinking water essentially.

But sense 1 is the general substance: "binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid..."

I think the key is that sense 1 is the hypernym - the general substance. Sense 6 is a specific type or aspect of water (water for drinking/hydration).

In the sentence "moistened with water", it's referring to water as the liquid substance, which is sense 1.

Let me verify by thinking about whether it could be any other sense:
- Not sense 2 (bodies of water)
- Not sense 3 (classical element)
- Not sense 4 (water system/facility)
- Not sense 5 (urine)
- Between sense 1 and 6.

In WordNet, sense 1 is the most common sense and refers to the chemical substance. When you use water to moisten something, you're using the liquid H2O.

I believe the answer is 1.

Actually, I want to check one more thing. The example for sense 6 is "he asked for a drink of water." This is clearly about water as a beverage.

When you say "bourbon and water" or "water added to bourbon", is this sense 1 or 6?

I think it's sense 1 because:
1. It's referring to the substance itself, not specifically its role as something necessary for life.
2. "Moistened with water" is using water as a liquid substance, not specifically as hydration.

However, I could see an argument for sense 6 since it's being added to a drink.

But looking at the definitions again:
Sense 1: "binary compound... widely used as a solvent"
Sense 6: "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants"

The fact that sense 1 mentions it's "widely used as a solvent" suggests it's the sense used when water is used as an ingredient or additive (like moistening bourbon).

Also, in standard lexical databases, when water is used in cooking, mixing drinks, or as a liquid medium, it's sense 1.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "favorite" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: This <t>favorite</t> grievance was not the landlord.

Senses:
1. definition=appealing to the general public | examples=a favorite tourist attraction
2. definition=preferred above all others and treated with partiality | examples=the favored child

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "favorite" is used in the sentence: "This <t>favorite</t> grievance was not the landlord."

Let me analyze the sentence structure and meaning.

The sentence says "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

Wait, that sentence seems a bit odd or possibly archaic in structure. Let me think about what "favorite" could mean here.

Looking at the two definitions provided:
1. "appealing to the general public" - like a favorite tourist attraction
2. "preferred above all others and treated with partiality" - like the favored child

In the sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," the word "favorite" is modifying "grievance."

If we look at sense 2: "preferred above all others" - this could mean a grievance that is preferred or favored above others. But that doesn't quite make sense with "grievance" - why would someone prefer a grievance?

Wait, let me reconsider. In historical or literary usage, "favorite" can mean a person who is favored or preferred by someone in power. But here it's modifying "grievance."

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

Could this be from a specific text? It sounds like it might be from Jane Austen or similar period literature. Let me think about the usage.

In some contexts, "favorite" can mean "particular" or "preferred" in the sense of being a common or cherished complaint.

But wait, looking at sense 1: "appealing to the general public" - this would mean the grievance is popular or commonly held by many people.

Sense 2: "preferred above all others" - this would mean it's the specific grievance that the speaker or subject prefers above others.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure more carefully: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

I think this might be using "favorite" in the sense of "preferred" or "particular" - meaning a grievance that is particularly cherished or commonly cited.

But let me look at the definitions again. Sense 1 is about being appealing to the general public. Sense 2 is about being preferred and treated with partiality.

If "favorite" modifies "grievance", and the grievance is described as "favorite", it likely means it's a preferred or particular grievance - one that is favored by the person who has it.

However, I should consider if this is using "favorite" as a noun or adjective. In the sentence "This favorite grievance", it's clearly an adjective modifying "grievance".

Sense 2 seems to fit better: "preferred above all others" - this favorite grievance (the grievance that is preferred above others, or treated with partiality).

But actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "the favored child" - this suggests a person who is favored.

Sense 1 example: "a favorite tourist attraction" - something popular with the public.

A "favorite grievance" would likely be a grievance that is particularly cherished or commonly cited by the person/group. This aligns more with sense 2 (preferred above all others) than sense 1 (appealing to general public), though both could potentially fit.

Wait, I need to be careful. Let me think about whether "favorite" in this context means:
1. Popular/well-liked by many (sense 1)
2. Preferred by a specific person (sense 2)

The phrase "favorite grievance" typically means a complaint that someone particularly likes to make or dwells upon often. This would be sense 2 - preferred above all others (by the person who has the grievance).

But I want to double-check. Is there any chance this is using "favorite" in the sense of "favored one" as a noun? No, the syntax "This favorite grievance" shows it's an adjective.

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

This is a very specific sentence. It might be from a text where "favorite" is being used to mean something like "preferred suspect" or "preferred explanation", but here it's "favorite grievance."

Wait, could this be from Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" or similar? "This favorite grievance was not the landlord" - it sounds like it could be referring to a common complaint or theory that someone has.

If it's a "grievance" that is "favorite", and the sentence is saying it "was not the landlord", this suggests that the grievance is a theory or complaint about who is responsible for something, and the speaker is saying that the landlord was not the object of this particular grievance.

In this context, "favorite" likely means "preferred" or "cherished" - sense 2.

But let me reconsider sense 1. Could it mean a grievance that is popular among the general public? Like a common complaint? "This favorite grievance" could mean a grievance that is widely shared.

However, looking at the definitions carefully:
1. appealing to the general public
2. preferred above all others and treated with partiality

The key difference is that sense 1 is about general public appeal, while sense 2 is about specific preference/partiality.

In the context of "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," the most likely meaning is that this was a preferred or particular grievance (perhaps among many possible grievances), making sense 2 the correct answer.

Actually, I should verify if there's a specific usage I'm missing. The sentence structure is somewhat unusual. "This favorite grievance was not the landlord" - grammatically, this suggests that the grievance itself is being equated with the landlord, or being said not to be the landlord. That doesn't make sense unless "grievance" is being used metaphorically or there's a specific context.

Wait, could "favorite" here mean "favored" as in "the favored candidate"? No, that doesn't fit with "grievance."

Let me reconsider the possibility that this is from a specific text. The sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord" sounds like it could be from 18th or 19th century literature.

Actually, thinking about it more, "favorite" can mean "frequently recurring" or "habitual" when applied to things like "grievance" or "topic." This would align with sense 2 (preferred/treated with partiality) - the grievance that is preferred by the speaker, i.e., the one they always bring up.

Sense 1 (appealing to the general public) would imply that the general public likes this grievance, which is odd.

Therefore, sense 2 seems correct.

But I want to be absolutely sure. Let me think about whether there are any other interpretations.

Could "favorite" be used here to mean "favored by fortune" or "fortunate"? No, that's a different meaning.

Could it be referring to a "favorite" as in a person favored by a monarch? "This favorite [person's] grievance"? No, the syntax doesn't support that.

So it's definitely an adjective modifying "grievance."

Between the two senses:
- Sense 1: appealing to the general public (popular)
- Sense 2: preferred above all others (cherished, particular)

A "favorite grievance" is typically one's preferred or habitual complaint - the one they always talk about. This is sense 2.

Therefore, the answer should be 2.

Wait, I want to check one more thing. Is there any chance that "favorite" here means something like "likely" or "probable"? No, that's not a standard definition.

Or could it be related to the idea of a "favorite" in sports - the one expected to win? "This favorite grievance" - no, that doesn't fit.

So I'm confident the answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "grievance" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: This favorite <t>grievance</t> was not the landlord.

Senses:
1. definition=a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation | examples=holding a grudge
2. definition=an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
3. definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "grievance" is used in the sentence: "This favorite <t>grievance</t> was not the landlord."

 Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions:

 Sentence: "This favorite <t>grievance</t> was not the landlord."

 The structure suggests that "grievance" here refers to something or someone that is the target of a complaint or resentment. The phrase "favorite grievance" implies something that is habitually complained about.

 Now let's look at the definitions:

 1. "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation | examples=holding a grudge"
    - This focuses on the feeling/emotion itself (resentment)
    - Example: "holding a grudge"

 2. "an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice"
    - This is a legal/technical definition
    - Focuses on a formal allegation of legal wrongdoing

 3. "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action"
    - This focuses on the complaint itself, or the subject of the complaint
    - "grounds for action" suggests something you act upon or react to

 In the sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," the word "grievance" appears to be referring to the person or thing being complained about (the object of the grievance), or possibly the complaint itself.

 Wait, let me reconsider the sentence structure. "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

 This is a bit unusual. It seems like it might be from a literary context. Let me think...

 Actually, looking at it again: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

 This suggests that the "grievance" is being equated with or contrasted with "the landlord." If the grievance is not the landlord, then the grievance is likely a complaint or resentment about the landlord, or perhaps the grievance is the cause of the complaint.

 But wait - "favorite grievance" suggests something that is frequently complained about.

 Let me look at definition 3 again: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action"

 And definition 1: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation"

 Definition 2 is clearly legal and doesn't fit well.

 Actually, looking at the sentence more carefully: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

 This seems to suggest that the grievance is the source of complaint. But that doesn't quite make sense.

 Let me reconsider. In some contexts, "grievance" can mean:
 - The complaint itself
 - The cause of the complaint
 - The feeling of resentment

 Looking at definition 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong" - this makes "grievance" = the complaint

 Looking at definition 1: "a resentment" - this makes "grievance" = the feeling

 But in the sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," it seems like "grievance" might be used to mean the object of complaint (the person or thing being complained about).

 Actually, let me search my internal knowledge for this specific sentence. It looks like it might be from a literary work.

 The sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord" appears to be saying that the person or thing being complained about (the grievance) was not the landlord.

 In many dictionaries, sense 3 or a similar sense refers to the cause of complaint.

 Let me look at the definitions again:

 1. Resentment (the emotion)
 2. Legal allegation
 3. A complaint about a wrong OR the wrong itself?

 Definition 3 says: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action"

 Wait, definition 3 defines it as the complaint itself.

 But in usage, "grievance" can also mean the cause of the complaint.

 Let me check: "His favorite grievance was the noise from upstairs" - here, grievance = the thing complained about (the noise).

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:

 From WordNet or similar:
 - Grievance 1: a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation (syn: grudge, score)
 - Grievance 2: an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
 - Grievance 3: a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

 In the sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," the word "grievance" is being used to refer to the object of the complaint.

 But let's look at the exact wording of sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong"

 Hmm, that specifically says it's the complaint, not the cause.

 But wait - in the sentence, if "grievance" is the subject and it's being equated with or contrasted with "the landlord," and the sentence says the grievance was NOT the landlord, then the grievance is likely the cause/subject of the complaint.

 Actually, looking at similar examples:
 "His chief grievance was the high rent."
 Here, "grievance" refers to the cause of resentment (the high rent).

 But definition 1 is "a resentment" (the feeling).
 Definition 3 is "a complaint" (the statement).

 Wait, I need to be careful. Let me think about which sense allows "grievance" to be something that can be identified as "the landlord" or not.

 If grievance = resentment (sense 1), then "This favorite resentment was not the landlord" - doesn't make sense because resentment is an emotion, not a person.

 If grievance = legal allegation (sense 2), then "This favorite legal allegation was not the landlord" - possible, but "favorite" seems odd with a legal allegation, and equating it with a person seems odd.

 If grievance = a complaint (sense 3), then "This favorite complaint was not the landlord" - a complaint is not a person, so saying it is or isn't the landlord makes sense as a negation.

 But actually, looking at usage, I think the question is testing whether "grievance" means:
 1. The feeling of resentment
 2. A legal complaint
 3. The cause of complaint

 And I think in many contexts, especially older literary ones, "grievance" can mean the cause of complaint.

 Let me reconsider the definitions provided:
 3. "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action"

 Actually, reading this carefully: "a complaint about a wrong" - this is the act of complaining or the statement of complaint.

 But in the sentence "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," the syntax suggests that the grievance is a thing or person that is the target or source.

 Wait, I found it. This sentence is from Charles Dickens' "Little Dorrit". Let me recall the context.

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

 I think this means that the person or thing they usually complained about (their favorite grievance) was not the landlord on this occasion.

 In this usage, "grievance" refers to the object of complaint - the thing being complained about.

 Now, which of the three definitions best captures "the thing being complained about"?

 Definition 3 mentions "a complaint about a wrong" - but it defines it as the complaint, not the wrong itself.

 However, looking at the wording of definition 3 again: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment"

 Actually, in many dictionaries, sense 3 is the general sense of a complaint or the cause of a complaint.

 But let me look at the exact distinction:
 - Sense 1: The emotion (resentment/grudge)
 - Sense 2: Legal wrong/formal allegation
 - Sense 3: General complaint/cause of complaint

 The phrase "favorite grievance" suggests something that is habitually complained about. This aligns with sense 3.

 Also, the fact that it can be "the landlord" (a person) suggests it's the target/object of the complaint.

 In sense 1, it's an emotion, so it can't be a person.
 In sense 2, it's a legal allegation, which is abstract.
 In sense 3, it's a complaint about a wrong, which implies the wrong itself or the complaining about it.

 Actually, I think I need to look at this differently. The word "grievance" in "This favorite grievance was not the landlord" is being used to mean the object of the resentment/complaint.

 Definition 1: resentment (emotion) - can't be a landlord
 Definition 2: legal allegation - unlikely to be called "favorite" or equated with a person
 Definition 3: complaint about a wrong - the complaint itself is not the landlord, but the grievance can be metonymically the cause

 Wait, I think the answer is 3.

 Let me verify by elimination:
 - If it were sense 1 (resentment), you wouldn't say "the resentment was not the landlord" - that doesn't make sense.
 - If it were sense 2 (legal), "favorite legal allegation" is odd, and equating it with a person is odd.
 - Sense 3 allows for "grievance" to mean the complaint or the cause of complaint.

 Actually, looking up standard WordNet senses for "grievance":
 Sense 1: grudge, score, grievance - a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation
 Sense 2: grievance - an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
 Sense 3: grievance - a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

 In the sentence, "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," the usage is that the grievance is the thing complained about.

 But strictly speaking, definition 3 defines it as "a complaint" (the act or statement).

 However, in extended usage, "grievance" can refer to the cause. But actually, looking at the definition again, "a complaint about a wrong" - the grievance is the complaint.

 But that doesn't fit well with "was not the landlord" because a complaint is not a person.

 Unless... the sentence means "The target of this favorite complaint was not the landlord."

 I think the answer is likely 3, because:
 1. It's not a grudge/resentment (sense 1) because those are internal emotional states
 2. It's not a legal allegation (sense 2)
 3. It's a general complaint (sense 3)

 But wait, let me reconsider sense 1. Could "grievance" mean the cause of resentment in sense 1? The definition says "a resentment" not "a cause of resentment."

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "holding a grudge" - this confirms it's about the emotion.

 So sense 1 is out.

 Between sense 2 and 3:
 Sense 2 is specifically legal.
 Sense 3 is general.

 The sentence doesn't suggest a legal context. "Favorite grievance" suggests a habitual complaint.

 Therefore, the answer is 3.

 Actually, let me double-check. The sentence is: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

 Could this mean: "The person we usually complain about (our favorite grievance) was not the landlord"?

 Yes, that makes sense.

 And this usage - where "grievance" means the object of complaint - is closest to sense 3, which is the general sense of complaint/cause of complaint.

 Sense 2 is too specific (legal).
 Sense 1 is the emotion itself.

 So the answer should be 3.

Which numbered sense of "forget" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: He had already quite <t>forgotten</t> about him.

Senses:
1. definition=dismiss from the mind; stop remembering | examples=I tried to bury these unpleasant memories
2. definition=be unable to remember | examples=I'm drawing a blank
3. definition=forget to do something | examples=Don't forget to call the chairman of the board to the meeting!
4. definition=leave behind unintentionally | examples=I forgot my umbrella in the restaurant

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "forget" is used in the sentence: "He had already quite forgotten about him."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "He had already quite forgotten about him."
 - This means he no longer remembered the person (him).
 - It's about dismissing someone from one's mind or stopping the act of remembering them.

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=dismiss from the mind; stop remembering | examples=I tried to bury these unpleasant memories
    - This fits. "Forgotten about him" means he dismissed the person from his mind or stopped remembering him.

 2. definition=be unable to remember | examples=I'm drawing a blank
    - This suggests a failure of memory when trying to recall something. The sentence doesn't suggest he was trying to remember and couldn't, but rather that the memory had faded or been dismissed from his mind over time ("already quite forgotten").

 3. definition=forget to do something | examples=Don't forget to call the chairman of the board to the meeting!
    - This is about failing to perform an action. The sentence is about forgetting a person, not forgetting to do something.

 4. definition=leave behind unintentionally | examples=I forgot my umbrella in the restaurant
    - This is about physically leaving an object somewhere. The sentence is about forgetting a person in the sense of not thinking about them anymore, not physically leaving them somewhere.

 So sense 1 is the best fit. The phrase "forgotten about" indicates ceasing to remember or think about someone, which aligns with "dismiss from the mind; stop remembering."

 Wait, let me double-check. Could it be sense 2?
 Sense 2 is "be unable to remember" - this usually implies a specific instance of trying to recall information and failing. But "He had already quite forgotten about him" suggests a gradual process of the memory fading or intentionally putting it out of mind, not a specific failure of recall.

 Actually, looking at this again, sense 1 and sense 2 are close. Let me think about the distinction:
 - Sense 1: dismiss from the mind; stop remembering (volitional or gradual fading of memory/attention)
 - Sense 2: be unable to remember (specific cognitive failure)

 The phrase "forgotten about him" with "quite" suggests that the memory of him has faded or been dismissed from the mind. This is sense 1.

 But wait, I should look at the example for sense 1: "I tried to bury these unpleasant memories" - this is about intentionally trying to forget, or the process of no longer having something in mind.

 The sentence "He had already quite forgotten about him" fits sense 1 best - he had dismissed the person from his mind, stopped remembering/ thinking about him.

 However, I should consider if sense 2 could apply. If we interpret it as "he was unable to remember information about him," but the phrase "forgotten about" is more about ceasing to have someone in one's thoughts, which is sense 1.

 Let me check standard dictionary definitions:
 - Forget (1): fail to remember
 - Forget (2): inadvertently neglect to attend to, do, or mention
 - Forget (3): put out of one's mind; cease to think of

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases:
 Sense 1: dismiss from the mind; stop remembering
 Sense 2: be unable to remember
 Sense 3: forget to do something
 Sense 4: leave behind unintentionally

 In "He had already quite forgotten about him", the "about" suggests sense 1. "Forget about" is typically used to mean "stop thinking about" or "dismiss from mind."

 So the answer is 1.

Sentence: In fact, he had only <t>mentioned</t> him on the spur of the moment.

Senses:
1. definition=make reference to | examples=His name was mentioned in connection with the invention

3. definition=commend | examples=he was cited for his outstanding achievements

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "mention" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "In fact, he had only <t>mentioned</t> him on the spur of the moment."

 Senses:
 1. definition=make reference to | examples=His name was mentioned in connection with the invention
 2. definition=make mention of | examples=She observed that his presentation took up too much time
 3. definition=commend | examples=he was cited for his outstanding achievements

 Let me analyze the sentence. The context is "he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment" - this means he referred to him, brought up his name, or made reference to him casually/spontaneously.

 Now let's look at the senses:
 - Sense 1: "make reference to" - This fits. When you mention someone, you make reference to them.
 - Sense 2: "make mention of" - This is essentially the same as sense 1, but let's look at the example: "She observed that his presentation took up too much time". Wait, that example doesn't seem to match "make mention of". Actually, looking closely, the example "She observed that his presentation took up too much time" seems like it might be for a different word, or perhaps it's illustrating "observe" not "mention"? Or maybe it's a mistake in the question? Let me reconsider.

 Actually, looking at sense 2: "make mention of" is almost synonymous with sense 1. But the example "She observed that his presentation took up too much time" - this doesn't seem to fit "mention". "Observed" here might mean "remarked" or "noted", which is similar to mentioning, but the example seems odd.

 Wait, I should look at this more carefully. In WordNet or similar lexical databases, "mention" has specific senses. Let me think about the actual definitions:

 Sense 1: "make reference to" - This is the basic meaning of mentioning someone or something.
 Sense 2: "make mention of" - This might be a specific usage or perhaps it's referring to the noun form? No, the sentence uses the verb "mentioned".
 Sense 3: "commend" - This is like citing someone for an award or praising them formally.

 In the sentence "he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment", the meaning is clearly about referring to someone in conversation, not commending them (sense 3).

 Between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - Sense 1: make reference to
 - Sense 2: make mention of

 These are very similar. However, looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1 example: "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention" - This matches the usage in the target sentence.
 - Sense 2 example: "She observed that his presentation took up too much time" - This example actually uses "observed", not "mentioned". This is confusing. Maybe sense 2 is actually for "remark" or "observe"? Or maybe the example is wrong?

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions for "mention":
 1. To refer to, to bring up, to cite.
 2. To say briefly, to remark.

 But sense 2's example "She observed that..." suggests that sense 2 might be about "mention" meaning to note or point out something, but the example uses "observed" which is a synonym.

 Wait, I think I need to look at this as if these are WordNet synsets. In WordNet:
 - mention#1: mention, advert, bring up, cite, name, refer - make reference to
 - mention#2: note, observe, mention, remark - make mention of

 So sense 1 is about referring to something/someone, while sense 2 is about making a remark or observation.

 In the sentence "he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment", this is about referring to a person (making reference to him), not about making a remark or observation about something. So it should be sense 1.

 But let me double-check. "Mention him" - this is transitive with a person as object. In sense 1 (make reference to), you can mention a person. In sense 2 (make mention of), the example suggests it's about stating a fact or making an observation.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 2 again: "She observed that his presentation took up too much time" - if this is meant to illustrate "mention", then "mention" here would mean something like "remark" or "note". But "he had only mentioned him" doesn't fit that pattern well because there's no "that" clause or quoted speech; it's just mentioning a person.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

 Wait, I should verify if there's any possibility it's sense 3 (commend). "Mentioned him on the spur of the moment" doesn't sound like commending someone for an achievement. It sounds casual and spontaneous, not formal praise.

 So the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "real" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: His <t>real</t> grievance was Lolly.

Senses:
1. definition=being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory; ; ; ; ; ; - Longfellow | examples=real objects
2. definition=no less than what is stated; worthy of the name | examples=the real reason
3. definition=not to be taken lightly | examples=statistics demonstrate that poverty and unemployment are very real problems
4. definition=capable of being treated as fact | examples=tangible evidence
5. definition=being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; ; - G.K.Chesterton | examples=her actual motive
6. definition=of, relating to, or representing an amount that is corrected for inflation | examples=real prices
7. definition=having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary; ; ; - Shakespeare | examples=the substantial world
8. definition=(of property) fixed or immovable | examples=real property consists of land and buildings
9. definition=coinciding with reality; - F.A.Olafson | examples=perceptual error...has a surprising resemblance to veridical perception

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "real" is used in the sentence: "His <t>real</t> grievance was Lolly."

Let me analyze the sentence: "His real grievance was Lolly." This means that his actual or genuine grievance was Lolly (as opposed to what might have appeared to be his grievance or other superficial grievances).

Now let me look at the senses:

1. "being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory" - This is about existence in reality vs. illusion. Example: "real objects". This doesn't fit well here because "grievance" isn't about existence vs. non-existence.

2. "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" - Example: "the real reason". This means the actual or genuine reason. "His real grievance" = his actual grievance, the one that truly exists or matters, as opposed to pretended or superficial ones. This seems to fit.

3. "not to be taken lightly" - Example talks about real problems. This is about seriousness. While a grievance could be serious, "real" here is contrasting with fake or apparent, not emphasizing seriousness.

4. "capable of being treated as fact" - Example: "tangible evidence". Not quite right.

5. "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" - Example: "her actual motive". This also fits well. "Real grievance" = genuine grievance, essential grievance.

6. "of, relating to, or representing an amount that is corrected for inflation" - Financial term. Not relevant.

7. "having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary" - Similar to 1 and 4. About existence vs. imagination.

8. "(of property) fixed or immovable" - Legal term for real estate. Not relevant.

9. "coinciding with reality" - About perception matching reality.

Now between 2 and 5:
- Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" - examples include "the real reason"
- Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" - examples include "her actual motive"

Both seem close. Let me think about the distinction.

Sense 2 examples: "the real reason", "real mink", "real war" - this sense emphasizes authenticity, not being fake or imitation, being worthy of the name.

Sense 5 examples: "her actual motive", "a literal solitude like a desert" - this is about the essential or genuine character.

Actually, looking at the sentence "His real grievance was Lolly" - this suggests that perhaps he expressed other grievances, but the actual/essential/genuine one was Lolly.

Sense 2 is defined as "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". The phrase "the real reason" is given as an example.

Sense 5 is "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something".

I think sense 2 is the best fit because:
- "Real grievance" parallels "real reason" (given as example in sense 2)
- It means the grievance that is genuine, not the apparent or stated one
- "No less than what is stated" - implying that this is truly the grievance, not something else

Sense 5 focuses more on "essential character" which is slightly different.

Let me double-check by looking at typical dictionary definitions. In many dictionaries, sense 2 would be "genuine" or "actual" as opposed to pretended or apparent.

Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" - this is the sense used in "the real reason why he went"

Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" - this might be more like "the real meaning of Christmas"

Actually, looking at the definitions again:

Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
- This means: if something is the "real X", it truly is an X, not a fake or imitation, or it is the main/primary one.
- Example: "real mink" (not fake), "real war" (not just a metaphor), "real reason" (the actual reason, not the excuse)

Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"
- This is about the intrinsic nature, the essence.

In "His real grievance was Lolly", "real" means his actual grievance (as opposed to what he claimed or what appeared to be his grievance). This aligns with sense 2's "the real reason".

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 5's example "her actual motive" - this is very similar to "his real grievance".

But sense 2's example is "the real reason" which is also very similar.

I need to distinguish between these. Let me look at the definitions more carefully:

Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
- This definition suggests it's about authenticity or meeting the criteria.
- "The real reason" = the reason that truly exists, not a fake reason or excuse.

Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"
- This is about the essence, the true nature.
- "Actual motive" = the genuine motive, not the stated one.

These are very close. However, looking at typical WordNet senses (which these appear to be):

Sense 2 in WordNet is often: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" - examples: "the real reason", "real war", "a real friend"
Sense 5 is often: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" - examples: "the literal meaning of a word", "in the nude", "the actual root of the matter"

Actually, looking at the examples provided in the question:
- Sense 2: "the real reason"
- Sense 5: "her actual motive"

Both "real reason" and "actual motive" are semantically very close to "real grievance".

However, the definition text for sense 2 is "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". This suggests that if we say "real grievance", we mean it is truly a grievance, or it is the main/actual one.

The definition text for sense 5 is "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". This is more about the intrinsic nature.

I think the answer is 2 or 5. Let me think about typical usage patterns.

In the sentence "His real grievance was Lolly", the word "real" is contrasting with apparent or stated grievances. It means "actual" or "true".

Sense 2 is often glossed as "genuine, authentic, bona fide" - the real thing as opposed to an imitation or substitute.
Sense 5 is often glossed as "actual, literal" - the essential character.

But looking at the specific WordNet definitions provided:
Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"

And the examples:
Sense 2: "the real reason"
Sense 5: "her actual motive"

"The real reason" and "her actual motive" are virtually synonymous in many contexts.

However, in WordNet, sense 2 (real%3:00:01::) is the "not fake" sense, while sense 5 might be a different synset.

Actually, looking at standard WordNet 3.0 or 3.1:

real.a.01: being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory; "real objects"; "real people; not ghosts"
real.a.02: no less than what is stated; worthy of the name; "the real reason"; "real war"; "a real friend"
real.a.03: not to be taken lightly; "statistics demonstrate that poverty and unemployment are very real problems"
real.a.04: capable of being treated as fact; "tangible evidence"
real.s.05: being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; "her actual motive"; "literal solitude like a desert"; "a genuine dilemma"
real.a.06: of, relating to, or representing an amount that is corrected for inflation; "real prices"; "real income"; "real GDP"
substantial.s.02: having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary; "the substantial world"
real.a.08: (of property) fixed or immovable; "real property consists of land and buildings"
veridical.s.01: coinciding with reality; "perceptual error...has a surprising resemblance to veridical perception"

Wait, looking at the provided senses in the question:
1. being or occurring in fact or actuality...
2. no less than what is stated; worthy of the name
3. not to be taken lightly
4. capable of being treated as fact
5. being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something
6. of, relating to, or representing an amount...
7. having substance or capable of being treated as fact...
8. (of property) fixed or immovable
9. coinciding with reality

These match WordNet synsets. Let me map them:
1 = 300000102 (real, existent)
2 = 300000436 (real)
3 = 300001191 (real)
4 = 300002290 (real, tangible)
5 = 302512436 (actual, genuine, literal, real)
6 = 300003344 (real)
7 = 302510012 (material, real, substantial) - but wait, in the question this is numbered 7
8 = 300007039 (real)
9 = 302510667 (veridical)

Actually, looking at the question's numbering:
Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" with example "her actual motive"

In WordNet, the adjective sense "actual, genuine, literal, real" is:
Definition: being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something
Example: "her actual motive"; "literal solitude like a desert"; "a genuine dilemma"

Sense 2 in the question is:
Definition: no less than what is stated; worthy of the name
Example: "the real reason"

Now, for "His real grievance was Lolly":

If his grievance was ostensibly about something else, but the actual/underlying one was Lolly, then:
- It could be sense 2: the genuine grievance (worthy of the name, not a pretense)
- It could be sense 5: the essential or genuine character

But "the real reason" (sense 2 example) and "her actual motive" (sense 5 example) are very similar.

However, "grievance" is like "reason" or "motive" - it's about the cause of complaint.

I think the most common classification would be sense 2, because "real" here means "actual" as opposed to "apparent" or "stated", which fits "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name".

But let me think about sense 5 more carefully. The definition says "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". This could apply: the grievance that reflects the essential character of his complaint.

Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
- Sense 2 (300000436) covers usages like "real reason", "real war", "real friend"
- Sense 5 (302512436) covers usages like "actual motive", "literal meaning"

"Real grievance" is closer to "real reason" (both are about causes/complaints) than to "actual motive" (though motive is also similar).

Wait, "actual motive" is in sense 5. "Motive" and "grievance" are both internal states. "Reason" can be external or internal.

But the key is the definition. Sense 2: "worthy of the name" - this suggests that it's the real deal. Sense 5: "essential or genuine character".

In the context "His real grievance was Lolly", it means that Lolly was his actual grievance, as opposed to other things he might have complained about. This is the sense of "real" meaning "genuine" or "actual".

Both sense 2 and sense 5 mean "genuine/actual". But in WordNet:
- Sense 2 is about not being fake or imitation (real mink vs fake mink, real war vs cold war, real reason vs excuse)
- Sense 5 is about being the essential/true character (literal meaning, actual motive)

For "grievance", I think sense 2 is the correct classification because "the real reason" is the prototypical example, and "real grievance" parallels that exactly - the true cause of complaint versus superficial or pretextual complaints.

Sense 5 with "actual motive" is also close, but "motive" is about intention/reason for action, while "grievance" is a complaint. Still, they are similar.

Let me see if I can find how WordNet classifies "real grievance". Since I can't access external resources, I'll rely on the definitions.

Definition 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
- If something is "no less than what is stated", it means it fully meets the criteria.
- "His real grievance" = his grievance that is truly a grievance (not a minor annoyance), or the one that is truly the issue.

Definition 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"
- This is more about the essential nature.

Actually, I think I need to reconsider. Let's look at the phrase "the real reason" in sense 2. This is when "real" means "actual" as opposed to "apparent".

In "His real grievance was Lolly", the structure is similar: [Person's] real [noun] was [X].

This matches "the real reason is X".

Sense 5 examples: "her actual motive", "literal solitude", "a genuine dilemma".

"Her actual motive" is very similar to "his real grievance".

But looking at WordNet's actual classification:
- "actual" and "genuine" are in synset 302512436 (sense 5 in the list)
- "real" in the sense of "no less than what is stated" is in synset 300000436 (sense 2 in the list)

The word "real" appears in both synsets. The question is which sense is being used in the sentence.

Synset 300000436 (sense 2): This is about authenticity - not fake, worthy of the name. Examples: real mink, real war, real reason.
Synset 302512436 (sense 5): This is about being the essential character. Examples: actual motive, literal solitude, genuine dilemma.

"His real grievance" - is this about authenticity (sense 2) or essential character (sense 5)?

I think it's sense 2. "Real grievance" means actual grievance, genuine grievance, as opposed to a pretext or minor complaint. This aligns with "real reason" from the examples.

Sense 5 seems more about the essential nature of a thing - like "the real meaning of Christmas" or "the literal text".

Let me reconsider sense 5's definition: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"
Example: "her actual motive" - this means the motive that genuinely characterizes her action, not the surface reason.

"His real grievance" - the grievance that genuinely characterizes his complaint.

Hmm. This is tricky. But "actual motive" and "real grievance" are very parallel.

Wait, looking at the example for sense 5: "her actual motive"
And for sense 2: "the real reason"

Both "motive" and "reason" are about why someone does something. "Grievance" is about a complaint.

But "actual" in sense 5 suggests it's the one that is real, as opposed to apparent.
And "real" in sense 2 suggests it's the one that is genuine, as opposed to fake.

Actually, looking at WordNet online or standard definitions:
Sense 2 (real, a.): Not to be taken lightly; serious (wait, no, that's sense 3).

Let me look at the adjective "real" in WordNet 3.1:

1. real, existent -- (being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory; "real objects"; "real people; not ghosts"; "a film based on real life"; "a real illness"; "real humility"; "Life is real! Life is earnest!"- Longfellow)
2. real -- (no less than what is stated; worthy of the name; "the real reason"; "real war"; "a real friend"; "the real mother"; "is it a real job or just a way to occupy his time?"; "a real vampire")
3. real -- (not to be taken lightly; "statistics demonstrate that poverty and unemployment are very real problems"; "to the man sleeping regularly in doorways homelessness is real")
4. real, tangible -- (capable of being treated as fact; "tangible evidence"; "his brief time as Prime Minister brought few real benefits to the poor")
5. actual, genuine, literal, real -- (being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; "her actual motive"; "literal solitude like a desert"- G.K.Chesterton; "a genuine dilemma")
6. real -- (of, relating to, or representing an amount that is corrected for inflation; "real prices"; "real income"; "real GDP")
7. substantial, real, material -- (having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary; "the substantial world"; "a mere dream, neither substantial nor practical"; "most ponderous and substantial things"- Shakespeare)
8. real -- ((of property) fixed or immovable; "real property consists of land and buildings")
9. veridical, real -- (coinciding with reality; "perceptual error...has a surprising resemblance to veridical perception"- F.A.Olafson)

Wait, the question's sense 7 is: "having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary"
And the question's sense 4 is: "capable of being treated as fact"

These seem to overlap. But in the question, sense 4 has example "tangible evidence" and sense 7 has example "the substantial world".

Actually, looking at the question again:
4. definition=capable of being treated as fact | examples=tangible evidence
7. definition=having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary; ; ; - Shakespeare | examples=the substantial world

These are different WordNet senses that are similar.

But back to the main question: sense 2 vs sense 5.

Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"

The example for sense 2 is "the real reason"
The example for sense 5 is "her actual motive"

"His real grievance" is closer to "the real reason" than to "her actual motive" in terms of usage patterns. "Grievance" and "reason" are both things that can be pretextual or genuine.

But "actual motive" is also about the true underlying cause.

However, the definition of sense 2 includes "worthy of the name" which suggests it's the prototypical instance. The definition of sense 5 includes "essential... character" which is about the intrinsic qualities.

In "His real grievance was Lolly", we are saying that Lolly was the actual grievance - the one that qualifies as the true grievance, as opposed to others. This fits sense 2's "no less than what is stated" and "worthy of the name".

Sense 5 would be more like "the real essence of his grievance" or "the real nature of the grievance".

I think the answer is 2.

But let me double-check by considering if it could be any other sense.
1 - existence vs. illusion? No.
3 - not to be taken lightly? Maybe, but the primary meaning is about actuality.
4 - tangible? No.
5 - essential character? Possible, but less likely.
6 - economic term? No.
7 - substantial? No.
8 - real estate? No.
9 - coinciding with reality? No.

It's between 2 and 5. Given that "the real reason" is explicitly listed as an example of sense 2, and "His real grievance" follows exactly the same syntactic and semantic pattern (His [real] [abstract noun] was...), I will go with 2.

Actually, looking at it once more: "His real grievance was Lolly" - this could mean that he had expressed various complaints, but the real one (the actual one, the one that truly bothered him) was Lolly.

Sense 2: "the real reason" - the actual reason.
Sense 5: "her actual motive" - the genuine motive.

Both fit. But in many lexical databases, "real" in "real reason" is sense 2.

I found a similar example in my training: "his real intention" would likely be sense 2 or 5. But "real reason" is definitely sense 2 in WordNet.

Therefore, the answer should be 2.

Wait, I want to check one more thing. The definition of sense 2 says "no less than what is stated". This is interesting. It means that the thing is at least what it claims to be, or fully meets the criteria.

"His real grievance" - the grievance that is no less than what a grievance should be, or the one that is truly the grievance.

Definition 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"

If I say "His real grievance is Lolly", I'm saying that Lolly constitutes his actual grievance. This is about the identity of the grievance.

I think 2 is correct.

Actually, looking at online WordNet browsers for the sentence "his real grievance" or similar...

Since I cannot browse, I'll stick with the logic that "real grievance" is synonymous with "actual grievance", and in WordNet, "actual" is listed as a synonym in sense 5 (along with genuine, literal), while sense 2 stands alone with "no less than what is stated".

Wait! Look at sense 5's synonyms: "actual, genuine, literal, real"
And sense 5's definition: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"
Example: "her actual motive"

Look at sense 2: definition "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
Example: "the real reason"

Now, "actual motive" uses "actual", not "real" in the example, though "real" is in the synset.
"Real reason" uses "real" in the example.

But "actual" is a synonym in sense 5. So if "actual motive" is sense 5, then "real motive" would also be sense 5.
And "real grievance" is similar to "real motive".

But "real reason" is explicitly in sense 2.

This is genuinely ambiguous between sense 2 and sense 5. However, looking at the definitions:
- Sense 2: worthy of the name (emphasis on authenticity)
- Sense 5: essential or genuine character (emphasis on the true nature)

For abstract things like grievances, reasons, and motives, the distinction in WordNet is subtle.

But typically:
- Sense 2 covers: real gold (not fake), real friend (not pretended), real war (not metaphorical), real reason (not excuse)
- Sense 5 covers: actual facts (not fictional), literal interpretation (not figurative), genuine article (authentic)

Actually, both cover "authentic".

Let me look at the Chesterton quote mentioned in sense 5: "literal solitude like a desert" - G.K.Chesterton.
And the example "her actual motive".

Sense 2 has "the real reason".

I think for "His real grievance was Lolly", the intended sense is that his genuine grievance (the one that actually existed, as opposed to pretended ones) was Lolly.

Sense 2 is the most common sense for this usage. I'll go with 2.

Actually, you know what, I should reconsider sense 5. The definition says "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something".

His grievance concerning Lolly - Lolly is the essential grievance.

But I think sense 2 is more about "the actual thing" and sense 5 is more about "the true essence".

Example:
- "Is that real gold?" -> Sense 2 (authentic, worthy of the name)
- "The real meaning of Christmas" -> Sense 5 (essential character)

"His real grievance" is like "the real reason" -> Sense 2.

I'm confident the answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "grievance" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: His real <t>grievance</t> was Lolly.

Senses:
1. definition=a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation | examples=holding a grudge
2. definition=an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
3. definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "grievance" is used in the sentence "His real grievance was Lolly."

 Let me analyze the sentence: "His real grievance was Lolly."

 This suggests that the person has a complaint or resentment specifically about Lolly. It's not necessarily about a legal wrong (sense 2), though it could be. It's about a personal resentment or complaint.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" - examples: holding a grudge
 2. "an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice"
 3. "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action"

 In the sentence "His real grievance was Lolly," it seems to mean that his complaint/resentment was directed at Lolly. This fits sense 3 - a complaint about a wrong that causes resentment.

 However, sense 1 is "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation."

 Let me think about the difference:
 - Sense 1 focuses on the resentment itself, specifically strong enough for retaliation
 - Sense 3 focuses on a complaint about a wrong

 The sentence "His real grievance was Lolly" suggests that Lolly is the object of his grievance - the thing he's complaining about or resentful toward.

 Actually, looking more carefully:
 - Sense 1: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" - this is about the feeling/state of resenting
 - Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong..." - this is about the complaint itself

 In the sentence "His real grievance was Lolly," the word "grievance" refers to what is bothering him - the source of his complaint. This aligns with sense 3.

 But wait, let me reconsider sense 1. "His real grievance was Lolly" could mean his real resentment/grudge was Lolly.

 Actually, looking at typical usage:
 - "He has a grievance against his employer" - this would be sense 3 (a complaint about a wrong)
 - "Nursing a grievance" - this could be sense 1 (resentment)

 In "His real grievance was Lolly," it seems like Lolly is the cause or object of the grievance. This is most consistent with sense 3: a complaint about a wrong. The sentence suggests that what he was complaining about or resentful about was Lolly.

 However, sense 1 is defined as "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation." If his grievance was Lolly, it could mean his resentment was focused on Lolly.

 But looking at the examples provided:
 - Sense 1 example: "holding a grudge"
 - Sense 3: no example given in the prompt, but the definition mentions "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong"

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions (like WordNet which this seems to be based on):
 - Sense 1 usually corresponds to "grudge, score, grievance" - a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation
 - Sense 2 is about legal allegations
 - Sense 3 is "grievance" - a complaint about a wrong

 In the sentence "His real grievance was Lolly," this is from a literary context (likely from a book). The character is saying that what he's really complaining about or resentful about is Lolly.

 I think sense 3 is the best fit because:
 1. It's a complaint about a person (Lolly) who has caused resentment
 2. It's not necessarily about legal rights (sense 2)
 3. While it involves resentment, sense 1 is more about the state of holding a grudge/resentment itself, whereas sense 3 is about the specific complaint/cause of resentment

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "His real grievance was Lolly." This identifies Lolly as the grievance itself - the thing that is the source of complaint.

 In many contexts, "grievance" means a complaint about unfair treatment. So "His real grievance was Lolly" would mean his real complaint was about Lolly.

 I believe the answer is 3.

 Wait, let me double-check by looking at similar examples. If someone says "His grievance is that he wasn't promoted," that's sense 3. If someone says "He nursed a grievance against his brother," that could be sense 1 or 3.

 But sense 1 is specifically "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" - this is more about the feeling/emotion.
 Sense 3 is "a complaint about a wrong" - this is about the specific issue being complained about.

 In "His real grievance was Lolly," Lolly is the object of the grievance - the thing being complained about. This fits sense 3.

 Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0 or similar:
 - Sense 1: grudge, score, grievance (a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation; "holding a grudge"; "settling a score")
 - Sense 2: grievance (an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice)
 - Sense 3: grievance (a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action)

 Given that Lolly is a person, and the sentence identifies Lolly as the grievance, this is most likely sense 3 - Lolly is the "wrong" or the source of the complaint.

 However, I should consider if it could be sense 1. If "grievance" means "resentment" in the sentence, then "His real resentment was Lolly" makes sense too. But sense 1 is specifically about resentment that justifies retaliation, and the example is "holding a grudge."

 Actually, looking at the specific wording: "His real grievance was Lolly." This is a specific construction where the grievance is identified as being a person. This suggests that the grievance is the cause of complaint, which aligns with sense 3.

 I think the answer is 3.

 But let me reconsider one more time. Could it be sense 1? "His real resentment was Lolly." That works grammatically. But sense 1 is defined as "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation." Is there any indication in the sentence that the resentment justifies retaliation? Not necessarily.

 Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong..." - if his grievance was Lolly, then Lolly is the wrong he's complaining about.

 I think 3 is correct.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again without overthinking: "His real grievance was Lolly." This means the thing he was upset about, the complaint he had, was Lolly. That's sense 3.

 Final answer: 3

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "end" is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "Toward the <t>end</t> of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."

The word "end" here refers to "toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is referring to a point in time when he was finishing his drink.

Let me look at the senses:

1. either extremity of something that has length - physical spatial extremity, not temporal
2. the point in time at which something ends - this seems to fit. "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" refers to the point in time when he was finishing that drink.
3. the concluding parts of an event or occurrence - this could also fit, but let's see the examples: "the end was exciting" - this refers to the concluding parts. But "toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" is more about the point in time.
4. the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve - goal/purpose, not fitting
5. a final part or section - could be close, but usually refers to sections of text or physical objects
6. a final state - "he came to a bad end" - refers to outcome/result
7. the surface at either extremity of a three-dimensional object - physical
8. (football) the person - not relevant
9. a boundary marking the extremities of something - spatial
10. one of two places from which people are communicating - not relevant
11. the part you are expected to play - responsibility
12. the last section of a communication - text/speech
13. a piece of cloth - not relevant
14. (American football) a position - not relevant

Between sense 2 and sense 3:

Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" - examples: "the end of the year"
Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" - examples: "the end was exciting"

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is referring to the final portion/time period of drinking that specific drink. It's temporal.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate because:
- "the end of the year" is a point in time
- "toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" refers to the time when he was finishing it

Sense 3 refers more to "the concluding parts" as in the final segments/sections of an event. While "end of his drink" could be seen as the concluding part, the phrase "toward the end of" typically indicates approaching the point in time when something finishes.

Actually, looking at sense 5: "a final part or section" - examples: "we have given it at the end of the section since it involves the calculus"

But "end of his fourth hairy highball" - a highball is a drink. You don't usually say "section" of a drink. You might say the end of the drink meaning the final part of it or the point when it's finished.

Let me reconsider sense 2 vs sense 3.

Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends"
Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is definitely temporal. It's about when he was almost finished with the drink.

Sense 2 example: "the end of the year" - this is a specific point in time.
Sense 3 example: "the end was exciting" - this refers to the concluding portion/phase.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this seems to be based on), sense 2 is usually the temporal point sense, and sense 3 is the concluding part/portion sense.

"Toward the end of his drink" = toward the final portion of his drink, or toward the time when it would end.

But looking at the exact wording:
- Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends"
- Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"

"His fourth hairy highball" is an event/occurrence (the act of drinking it). The "end" would be the concluding parts of that drinking event.

However, "toward the end of the year" uses sense 2. "Toward the end of the movie" - is that sense 2 or 3?

Let me think about the distinction. Sense 2 emphasizes the temporal point. Sense 3 emphasizes the concluding portion/segment.

In the phrase "toward the end of his fourth hairy highball", "end" refers to the final stage or concluding part of the drinking session. This could be sense 3.

But wait, looking at the example for sense 3: "the end was exciting" - this treats "the end" as a period or portion. "Toward the end of..." usually means approaching the termination point.

Let me check if there's a pattern. "End" referring to drinks:
- "at the end of his drink" - could be when he finished it (point in time) or the last sip (physical part)

But given the context "toward the end of his fourth hairy highball", and considering he was making wet rings on the table (suggesting he'd been drinking for a while and the glass was getting empty or he was getting drunk), this refers to the temporal phase.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 2 matches "the end of the day", "the end of the war" - points in time
- Sense 3 matches "the end of the concert", "the end of the story" - the concluding part

But there's overlap. However, in WordNet-style databases:
Sense 2: end, ending - the point in time at which something ends; "the end of the year"
Sense 3: end, last, final stage - the concluding parts of an event or occurrence; "the end was exciting"

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is similar to "toward the end of the year" (temporal point) or "toward the end of the movie" (concluding part).

I think the key is that "highball" here refers to the drink, and drinking it is an event. The "end" is the concluding part of that event (sense 3) or the point in time when it ends (sense 2).

But looking at the example for sense 2: "the end of the year" - years have duration, and the end is a point in time.
For sense 3: "the end was exciting" - refers to the concluding portion.

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is most naturally interpreted as "toward the final part of [the time spent drinking] his fourth drink" or "toward the point when he would finish his fourth drink."

However, I need to look at what the standard answer would be for this type of question. This looks like a Word Sense Disambiguation task from something like the SEMCOR corpus or similar.

In many lexical resources:
- Sense 2 (time) vs Sense 3 (part/portion)

"End of the pier" - sense 1 (physical extremity)
"End of the year" - sense 2 (time)
"End of the section" - sense 5 (final part of text)

Wait, sense 5 says: "a final part or section" with example "we have given it at the end of the section since it involves the calculus"

Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" with example "the end was exciting"

The difference between 3 and 5 seems to be:
- 3: events/occurrences (temporal things that happen)
- 5: parts/sections (usually of texts or physical things with parts)

A drink (highball) being consumed is an event/occurrence. So sense 3 might fit.

But "toward the end of the year" - year is a time period, so sense 2.

Actually, looking carefully:
Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends"
Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - if we consider "his fourth hairy highball" as referring to the drink itself (the physical liquid), then "end" could be the last part of the liquid (sense 1? no, that's for length. sense 7? no, that's surface. sense 5? final part).

But "highball" here is being used metonymically for the act of drinking it, or it refers to the temporal duration of consuming it.

Given the context "while he was moodily making wet rings...", this describes an activity happening during the time he was finishing the drink.

I think the answer is 2 or 3. Let me see if I can find similar examples.

"Toward the end of the meeting" - this would be sense 3 (concluding parts of an event).
"Toward the end of 1990" - this would be sense 2 (point in time).

"His fourth hairy highball" - the consumption of this drink is an event with duration. So sense 3.

But wait, the example for sense 3 is "the end was exciting" - this treats the end as a period/phase.
The example for sense 2 is "the end of the year" - this treats the end as a point.

"Toward the end of..." usually selects for the "concluding part/phase" meaning rather than the "point in time" meaning. You approach a point, but you are in the concluding part.

Actually, you can say "toward the end of the year" meaning the final months/weeks (the concluding part), or "toward the point in time when the year ends."

But in WSD datasets, "end" in "toward the end of" with temporal nouns usually maps to sense 3 when it's about the concluding phase, or sense 2 when it's about the terminal point.

Let me reconsider the sentence structure. "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is setting the scene temporally. It's saying "when he was almost finished with his fourth drink."

If I had to choose between 2 and 3:
- Sense 2 emphasizes termination time
- Sense 3 emphasizes the final portion/phase

I think 3 is more likely because:
1. "The end was exciting" (example) refers to the concluding portion of an event
2. Drinking a highball is an event/occurrence
3. "Toward the end of the movie" = toward the concluding parts of the movie

But let me check if there's any other possibility. Could it be sense 1? "Either extremity of something that has length" - a drink doesn't really have length in that sense.

Sense 5? "A final part or section" - this is usually for texts or structured things with sections.

Sense 6? "A final state" - "he came to a bad end" - outcome.

So it's between 2 and 3.

Upon reflection, in many lexical databases (like WordNet), sense 2 is specifically for time points: "the end of the year", "the end of the war", while sense 3 is for the concluding part of an event: "the end of the concert", "the end of the story."

"His fourth hairy highball" as an event of drinking it - the end would be sense 3.

However, looking at the exact wording of sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" - this is very general and could apply.

But the example "the end of the year" suggests that sense 2 is for periods of time (years, days, etc.), while sense 3 is for events/occurrences (concerts, stories, games).

Drinking a highball is an event/occurrence. Therefore, sense 3.

Wait, I should reconsider sense 2. Is "his fourth hairy highball" a time period? It's being used as a temporal reference, but it's the drink.

Actually, looking at similar sentences in corpora:
"Toward the end of his drink" - this would likely be tagged as sense 3 or sense 2 depending on the specific annotation guidelines.

But there's another angle. Could "end" here mean the physical bottom of the glass? No, "end of his fourth hairy highball" - the highball is the drink. You don't say the "end" of a drink to mean the bottom usually. You might say the "last of his drink" or "bottom of his drink."

"End" here clearly means the temporal conclusion.

Let me look at the answer choices again. The question asks for the number.

Given that this is a specific format, and looking at the definitions:

1. physical extremity with length
2. point in time
3. concluding parts of event
4. goal/purpose
5. final part/section (of text/document)
6. final state/outcome
7. surface of 3D object
8. football player
9. boundary
10. communication endpoint
11. responsibility
12. last section of communication
13. cloth remnant
14. football position

Given that "his fourth hairy highball" refers to an alcoholic beverage being consumed, and the context is temporal (while he was making rings...), and "toward the end of" indicates approaching the conclusion of the drinking event...

I think the answer is 3.

But I want to double-check. Could it be 2?

"Toward the end of the year" - year is a time period.
"Toward the end of his life" - life is a time period/event.
"Toward the end of his drink" - drink is an event of drinking.

In WordNet:
- Sense 2 (time): end, ending - the point in time at which something ends; "the end of the year"
- Sense 3 (event part): end, last, final stage - the concluding parts of an event or occurrence; "the end was exciting"

The key distinction is that sense 2 is specifically the temporal point, while sense 3 is the concluding portion/phase of an event.

"Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this is describing the temporal location of the event (becoming aware), so it's using "end" to mean the concluding phase of the drinking. That's sense 3.

However, some might argue that since a drink is a physical object, and "end" could mean the last part of it (the final sips), and sense 5 is "a final part or section", that could work too. But sense 5's example is about a section of text/calculus, suggesting it's for structured compositions.

Sense 3 is definitely for events like "the end of the war", "the end of the concert."

Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully:
- end#2: the point in time at which something ends
- end#3: the concluding parts of an event or occurrence

"War" is an event/occurrence. "Year" is a time period.

But "end of the war" could be both the point in time when it ended (sense 2) or the concluding phase (sense 3).

In practice, WordNet sense 2 is often distinguished from sense 3 by whether it's a point (sense 2) or a duration/phase (sense 3).

"Toward the end..." suggests a phase (approaching the conclusion), not a point. Therefore, sense 3.

I think the answer is 3.

Wait, I should also consider if it could be sense 1 metaphorically? No, that doesn't make sense.

Let me reconsider sense 2 one more time. The definition says "the point in time at which something ends". The phrase "toward the end" means approaching that point. So sense 2 could work if we interpret "end" as the termination point.

But the example for sense 3 "the end was exciting" treats "the end" as a period that can be exciting (have duration), whereas a point in time can't really be "exciting" in the same way - though you can say "the end was exciting" meaning the final part.

I think 3 is the safest answer.

Actually, looking at the sentence again: "Toward the <t>end</t> of his fourth hairy highball"

Could "end" here mean the goal/purpose (sense 4)? No, "toward the end of" with "end" meaning goal would be "toward the end of his efforts" meaning toward his goal. But "toward the end of his drink" doesn't mean toward the goal of his drink.

Could it be sense 6 (final state)? "Toward the final state of his drink" - no.

So it's 2 or 3.

Given the specific wording of the definitions provided, and that "highball" represents an event of drinking here, and the context is narrative describing what was happening during the concluding phase, I select **3**.

But let me reconsider one more time. Is there any chance it's sense 5? "A final part or section" - "the end of the section". "Toward the end of his fourth highball" - if we think of the highball as having parts (beginning, middle, end), then the end is the final part. But sense 5 seems more for textual or structural sections, while sense 3 is for events.

The example for sense 5: "we have given it at the end of the section" - clearly textual/structural.
The example for sense 3: "the end was exciting" - clearly an event.

Drinking a highball is an event. So 3.

Final answer: 3
