 The user wants me to identify which sense of "air" is used in the sentence: "Then the auto paint shop fire sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the <t>air</t>."

 I need to look at the 9 senses provided and determine which one matches the usage in the sentence.

 The sentence describes smoke going into the "air". In this context, "air" refers to the atmosphere or the space above the ground where the smoke dissipates.

 Let's examine each sense:

 1. "a mixture of gases (especially oxygen) required for breathing; the stuff that the wind consists of" - This refers to the substance itself. While smoke goes into the air (mixture of gases), this definition focuses on the composition/specific mixture for breathing. The example "air pollution" suggests this is about the substance.

 2. "the region above the ground" - Example: "her hand stopped in mid air". This refers to the space or area above the ground. When smoke goes "into the air", it means into the atmosphere/space above ground level.

 3. "a distinctive but intangible quality surrounding a person or thing" - This is about atmosphere in the figurative sense (like "an air of mystery"). Not relevant here.

 4. "a slight wind (usually refreshing)" - This is about breeze/wind. Not relevant.

 5. "the mass of air surrounding the Earth" - Example: "there was great heat as the comet entered the atmosphere". This refers to the Earth's atmosphere as a whole.

 6. "once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe" - Historical/philosophical definition. Not relevant.

 7. "a succession of notes forming a distinctive sequence" - Musical tune (like "air" meaning melody). Not relevant.

 8. "medium for radio and television broadcasting" - Broadcasting context. Not relevant.

 9. "travel via aircraft" - Transportation context. Not relevant.

 Now, is it sense 1 or sense 2 or sense 5?

 Sense 1: "a mixture of gases... required for breathing; the stuff that the wind consists of"
 Sense 2: "the region above the ground"
 Sense 5: "the mass of air surrounding the Earth"

 In the sentence "sent an evil-looking cloud of black smoke into the air", the phrase "into the air" typically means into the atmosphere or the space above the ground.

 Looking at sense 2: "the region above the ground" with example "her hand stopped in mid air" - this seems to match "into the air" meaning into that region/space above ground.

 However, sense 1 could also work because smoke mixes with the air (mixture of gases).

 But let's look more carefully. The phrase "into the air" is an idiom meaning "into the atmosphere" or "upwards into the sky".

 Sense 2 definition: "the region above the ground" - this captures the spatial aspect.
 Sense 5 definition: "the mass of air surrounding the Earth" - this is essentially the atmosphere.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 1 seems to be the substance itself (the gas mixture)
 - Sense 2 seems to be the space above ground
 - Sense 5 seems to be the Earth's atmosphere as a whole

 In "into the air", we're talking about the smoke rising into the atmosphere/space above the ground.

 But wait, looking at the example for sense 2: "her hand stopped in mid air" - this shows "air" as a location/space. "Into the air" would mean entering that space.

 However, sense 1 has example "air pollution" - this shows "air" as the medium that can be polluted.

 Let me reconsider. When smoke goes "into the air", it is entering the mixture of gases (the atmosphere).

 But looking at the specific wording:
 Sense 1: "a mixture of gases (especially oxygen) required for breathing; the stuff that the wind consists of"
 Sense 2: "the region above the ground"

 If I say "the smoke went into the air", I could mean:
 - It went into the mixture of gases (sense 1)
 - It went into the region above the ground (sense 2)

 However, looking at typical WordNet or similar sense distinctions (which this appears to be based on), sense 2 specifically covers the spatial meaning "mid air", "threw it in the air", etc.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 5: "there was great heat as the comet entered the atmosphere" - this suggests sense 5 is specifically about the atmospheric layer surrounding Earth.

 Let me check standard word sense distinctions for "air":

 Usually:
 - The invisible gaseous substance (mixture of gases)
 - The open space above the ground (sky, atmosphere in a local sense)
 - The Earth's atmosphere (as a whole)
 - Musical tune
 - Manner/appearance (air of confidence)
 - Broadcast medium (on the air)
 - Transportation (by air)

 In the sentence "into the air", this is most commonly sense 2 (the region above the ground) or sense 1 (the substance).

 But looking at the example for sense 2: "her hand stopped in mid air" - this is clearly spatial.

 The phrase "into the air" parallels "in mid air" - both refer to the space above ground.

 However, sense 1 with "air pollution" - pollution goes into the air (substance).

 Actually, I think sense 2 is the best fit. When something goes "into the air", it means it rises up into the space above the ground. The smoke is entering the region above the ground.

 But let me double-check sense 5. "The mass of air surrounding the Earth" - this is the atmosphere. When smoke goes into the atmosphere, it is technically correct, but "into the air" in everyday speech usually refers to the local space above ground (sense 2) rather than the global atmospheric mass (sense 5).

 Wait, looking at sense 1 again: "a mixture of gases... required for breathing; the stuff that the wind consists of". This is the substance definition. When smoke goes into the air, it mixes with this substance.

 But the key is the phrase "into the <t>air</t>". The preposition "into" suggests entering a space or substance.

 In many lexical databases (like WordNet), "air" sense 1 is the gaseous substance, and sense 2 is the atmosphere/space.

 Let me think about which sense number is most likely correct based on standard datasets. This looks like it could be from WordNet or a similar lexicon.

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 1: air (a mixture of gases...)
 - Sense 2: air (the region above the ground...)
 - Sense 3: air (a distinctive but intangible quality...)
 - Sense 4: breeze (slight wind)
 - Sense 5: atmosphere (the mass of air surrounding the Earth)
 - Sense 6: air (once thought to be one of four elements...)
 - Sense 7: tune/melody
 - Sense 8: medium for radio/TV
 - Sense 9: air travel

 Actually, looking at the definitions provided:
 Sense 5: "the mass of air surrounding the Earth" - example mentions "atmosphere"
 Sense 1: "mixture of gases... required for breathing"
 Sense 2: "the region above the ground"

 The sentence "sent... into the air" is most analogous to "in mid air" (sense 2 example). The smoke is going up into the region above the ground.

 However, one could argue it's sense 1 because the smoke mixes with the gases.

 But "into the air" is an idiom meaning "upward" or "into the atmosphere", which aligns with sense 2 (the region above the ground).

 Let me reconsider sense 5. Is the smoke entering "the mass of air surrounding the Earth"? Yes, technically, but that's very general. Sense 5 seems to refer to the atmosphere as a scientific concept ( Earth's atmosphere), while sense 2 refers to the space above ground level ( local).

 Given the context of a fire at an auto paint shop sending smoke "into the air", this refers to the smoke rising into the sky/space above the ground - i.e., sense 2.

 But I should verify. If I say "throw a ball into the air", is that sense 2? Yes, that's the region above the ground. If I say "chemicals released into the air", that could be sense 1 (the substance).

 Smoke is similar to a ball being thrown - it goes up into the space. But it also mixes with the substance.

 However, the example for sense 2 ("her hand stopped in mid air") shows that sense 2 covers the spatial location. "Into the air" = into that region.

 The answer is most likely 2.

 Wait, I should check if there's any chance it's sense 5. "The mass of air surrounding the Earth" - when a comet enters the atmosphere, it enters this mass. When smoke goes into the air, it's entering the atmosphere. But sense 2 specifically mentions "the region above the ground" which is more specific to the usage "into the air" meaning upward.

 Also, looking at the other senses to rule out:
 3 - intangible quality? No.
 4 - wind? No.
 6 - element? No.
 7 - music? No.
 8 - broadcasting? No.
 9 - travel? No.

 So it's between 1, 2, and 5.

 Given the example "mid air" for sense 2, and the spatial nature of "into the air" (suggesting movement upward into a space), I believe sense 2 is the intended answer.

 Actually, looking at similar sense disambiguation tasks, "into the air" often maps to sense 1 (the substance) when talking about particles entering the mixture, but sense 2 when talking about objects flying.

 But smoke is particles suspended in the air... it's a bit ambiguous.

 However, the phrase "cloud of black smoke into the air" - the cloud is entering the region above the ground.

 I think I'll go with 2.

 Let me reconsider one more time. Could it be 1?
 Definition 1: "a mixture of gases (especially oxygen) required for breathing; the stuff that the wind consists of"
 Example: "air pollution"

 Air pollution is pollutants in the air (mixture of gases). So if smoke goes into the air, it's becoming part of this mixture.

 Definition 2: "the region above the ground"
 Example: "her hand stopped in mid air"

 "Mid air" is definitely a region/space. "Into the air" shares the same preposition "in"/"into".

 In many dictionaries, "air" as the invisible substance is the primary sense, and "the air" meaning the open space/atmosphere is a secondary sense.

 But looking at the specific wording of these definitions, sense 2 seems specifically designed for contexts like "in the air", "into the air", "mid air".

 I will select 2.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "fine" is used in the sentence: "My younger daughter and I are <t>fine</t>."

 Let me analyze the sentence context:
 - "My younger daughter and I are fine" - This is describing the state or condition of the speaker and their daughter.
 - The meaning here is that they are doing well, in good health, or in satisfactory condition.

 Now let's look at the senses provided:
 1. definition=being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition | examples=an all-right movie
 2. definition=minutely precise especially in differences in meaning | examples=a fine distinction
 3. definition=thin in thickness or diameter | examples=a fine film of oil
 4. definition=characterized by elegance or refinement or accomplishment | examples=fine wine
 5. definition=of textures that are smooth to the touch or substances consisting of relatively small particles | examples=wood with a fine grain
 6. definition=free from impurities; having a high or specified degree of purity | examples=gold 21 carats fine

 Sense 1 matches perfectly: "being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition" - when someone says "I am fine" or "we are fine", they mean they are in satisfactory condition, doing okay, feeling well.

 The other senses don't fit:
 - Sense 2 is about precision (fine distinctions)
 - Sense 3 is about thinness
 - Sense 4 is about elegance/refinement
 - Sense 5 is about texture/smoothness
 - Sense 6 is about purity

 So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: This <t>building</t> shook like hell and it kept getting stronger.

Senses:
1. definition=a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place | examples=there was a three-story building on the corner
2. definition=the act of constructing something | examples=during the construction we had to take a detour
3. definition=the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones | examples=their main business is home construction
4. definition=the occupants of a building | examples=the entire building complained about the noise

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

 Sentence: "This <t>building</t> shook like hell and it kept getting stronger."

 The word "building" here is referring to a physical structure that can shake. The context suggests something like an earthquake or strong winds causing a physical structure to shake.

 Let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place | examples=there was a three-story building on the corner
    - This matches the physical structure meaning. A building can shake.

 2. definition=the act of constructing something | examples=during the construction we had to take a detour
    - This refers to the process/activity of building something, not a physical structure that can shake.

 3. definition=the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones | examples=their main business is home construction
    - This refers to the industry/business, not a physical structure.

 4. definition=the occupants of a building | examples=the entire building complained about the noise
    - This is a metonymic use where "building" refers to the people inside. While people can complain, the sentence says "shook like hell" which strongly suggests physical shaking of a structure, not people shaking (though people could shake, the phrase "shook like hell" combined with "it kept getting stronger" suggests seismic activity or similar affecting a structure).

 The sentence describes something that "shook like hell" and "it kept getting stronger" - this is clearly describing a physical structure experiencing shaking (likely an earthquake).

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

 I should return only the number.

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

Sentence: This building <t>shook</t> like hell and it kept getting stronger.

Senses:
1. definition=move or cause to move back and forth | examples=The chemist shook the flask vigorously
2. definition=move with or as if with a tremor | examples=his hands shook
3. definition=shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively | examples=The old engine was juddering
4. definition=move back and forth or sideways | examples=the ship was rocking
5. definition=undermine or cause to waver | examples=my faith has been shaken
6. definition=stir the feelings, emotions, or peace of | examples=These stories shook the community
7. definition=get rid of | examples=I couldn't shake the car that was following me
8. definition=bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking | examples=He was shaken from his dreams
9. definition=shake (a body part) to communicate a greeting, feeling, or cognitive state | examples=shake one's head

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "shake" is used in the sentence: "This building <t>shook</t> like hell and it kept getting stronger."

 Let me analyze the sentence context:
 - The subject is "This building"
 - The verb is "shook" (past tense of shake)
 - The phrase "like hell" suggests intensity
 - "it kept getting stronger" suggests ongoing vibration or movement, likely referring to an earthquake or similar event

 Now let me look at the definitions:

 1. move or cause to move back and forth | examples=The chemist shook the flask vigorously
    - This is a transitive or intransitive movement back and forth. Could fit, but let's see others.

 2. move with or as if with a tremor | examples=his hands shook
    - This is about trembling, usually of body parts or living things. Buildings don't typically "tremor" in this sense, though they can shake.

 3. shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively | examples=The old engine was juddering
    - "Juddering" suggests intense vibration. This could fit for a building shaking in an earthquake.

 4. move back and forth or sideways | examples=the ship was rocking
    - This is about rocking motion. Buildings can rock, but "shake" in the context of buildings usually implies vibration rather than just rocking.

 5. undermine or cause to waver | examples=my faith has been shaken
    - This is metaphorical. The building is literally shaking, not being undermined in a metaphorical sense.

 6. stir the feelings, emotions, or peace of | examples=These stories shook the community
    - This is emotional/metaphorical. The building itself is physically moving.

 7. get rid of | examples=I couldn't shake the car that was following me
    - This means to lose someone or something. Not applicable here.

 8. bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking | examples=He was shaken from his dreams
    - This is about causing a change of state. Not applicable.

 9. shake (a body part) to communicate a greeting, feeling, or cognitive state | examples=shake one's head
    - This is about body language. Not applicable.

 Now between 1, 2, 3, and 4:

 The sentence describes a building shaking "like hell" and getting stronger. This sounds like an earthquake or seismic activity.

 Definition 1: "move or cause to move back and forth" - This is general.
 Definition 2: "move with or as if with a tremor" - Usually for living things/body parts.
 Definition 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" - This mentions "vibrate rapidly and intensively" which matches "like hell" and "getting stronger" (intensifying vibration).
 Definition 4: "move back and forth or sideways" - This is more like rocking.

 Actually, looking closely at definition 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" with the example "The old engine was juddering."

 Definition 1 example is "The chemist shook the flask vigorously" - this is transitive (the chemist is doing the shaking).

 Definition 3 seems to be intransitive - the engine was juddering (shaking on its own).

 Definition 4: "move back and forth or sideways" with example "the ship was rocking" - this suggests a swaying motion.

 For a building in an earthquake, it typically vibrates or shakes intensely. Definition 3 seems most appropriate because:
 1. It emphasizes rapid and intensive vibration
 2. The phrase "like hell" indicates intensity
 3. "Kept getting stronger" suggests intensifying vibration
 4. The example "The old engine was juddering" shows something mechanical/object vibrating on its own, similar to a building during a quake.

 However, I should reconsider definition 1 vs 3. Definition 1 is "move or cause to move back and forth" - this could apply to the building moving back and forth. But definition 3 specifically mentions "rapidly and intensively" which fits the "like hell" (intensity) aspect better.

 Wait, let me look at the example for definition 1 again: "The chemist shook the flask vigorously." This is transitive.

 Definition 4 example: "the ship was rocking" - this suggests a slower motion.

 Definition 2: "his hands shook" - trembling.

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this appears to be based on), sense 1 is often the general physical movement sense. But the building shaking in an earthquake is typically sense 1 or sense 3.

 Let me think about the specific WordNet senses for "shake":

 In WordNet, the senses are roughly:
 1. shake, agitate - move or cause to move back and forth (transitive or intransitive)
 2. shake, didder - move with or as if with a tremor (intransitive)
 3. judder, shake - shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively (intransitive, often of engines/machines)
 4. rock, sway, shake - move back and forth or sideways (intransitive, often of ships, trees)
 5. shake - undermine or cause to waver
 6. shock, stun, shake - strike with disgust or revulsion
 7. shake - get rid of
 8. shake - bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking
 9. gesticulate, gesture, motion - show, express or direct through movement (like shake hands, shake head)

 For a building shaking in an earthquake:
 - It's vibrating/intensively shaking
 - It's not just rocking back and forth (like a ship), though it might do that too
 - It's not trembling (like hands)
 - It's not transitive (no one is shaking the building)

 The phrase "shook like hell" suggests violent, rapid shaking. Definition 3 "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" with the example about the engine juddering seems the most precise match.

 But I need to be careful. Definition 1 is the most general "move back and forth." Definition 3 is specifically about rapid intensive vibration (juddering).

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "This building shook like hell and it kept getting stronger."

 In earthquake contexts, buildings "shake" - this is often covered by sense 1 (general movement back and forth) or sense 4 (move back and forth or sideways).

 But wait, sense 4's example is "the ship was rocking" which implies a different kind of motion than earthquake shaking. Earthquake shaking is more vibration-like.

 Sense 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" - this captures the violent shaking of a building in an earthquake very well.

 However, looking at standard WordNet definitions:
 Sense 1: move or cause to move back and forth
 Sense 3: shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively (as of engines)

 Actually, I should check if this is WordNet. The format looks like WordNet.

 In WordNet 3.0 or similar:
 - shake.v.01: move or cause to move back and forth (example: The chemist shook the flask vigorously)
 - shake.v.02: move with or as if with a tremor (example: his hands shook)
 - judder.v.01: shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively (example: The old engine was juddering) - Note: "judder" is a separate entry but related to shake.
 - rock.v.01: move back and forth or sideways (example: the ship was rocking)
 - shake.v.05: undermine or cause to waver (example: my faith has been shaken)
 - shock.v.02: strike with disgust or revulsion (example: These stories shook the community)
 - shake.v.07: get rid of (example: I couldn't shake the car)
 - shake.v.08: bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking (example: He was shaken from his dreams)
 - shake.v.09: shake (a body part) to communicate... (example: shake one's head)

 Actually, looking at the provided list:
 1. move or cause to move back and forth
 2. move with or as if with a tremor
 3. shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively
 4. move back and forth or sideways
 5. undermine or cause to waver
 6. stir the feelings, emotions, or peace of
 7. get rid of
 8. bring to a specified condition by or as if by shaking
 9. shake (a body part) to communicate...

 This looks like it could be derived from WordNet but with some modifications (sense 6 is different from shock/stun).

 For a building shaking in what appears to be an earthquake ("like hell", "getting stronger"), the best fit is sense 3: "shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively" or sense 1: "move or cause to move back and forth."

 The key difference:
 - Sense 1 is general back and forth movement
 - Sense 3 is specifically rapid and intensive vibration (like an engine, machine, or structure in earthquake)

 Given the intensifier "like hell" and the context of it "getting stronger" (intensifying), sense 3 seems most appropriate. The example for sense 3 is "The old engine was juddering" which is similar to a building vibrating during seismic activity.

 But I need to be careful. Sometimes sense 1 is used for earthquakes too. Let me think about the distinction between sense 1 and sense 4 as well.

 Sense 4: "move back and forth or sideways" with example "the ship was rocking" - this suggests a swinging motion, not a vibrating motion.

 Buildings in earthquakes vibrate/shake intensely (sense 3) rather than just move back and forth gently (sense 1) or rock like a ship (sense 4).

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "The chemist shook the flask vigorously" - this implies vigorous shaking too. But this is typically transitive.

 The building is shaking on its own (intransitive).

 Sense 3 is specifically intransitive and about rapid intensive vibration.

 Sense 2 is also intransitive but about tremors (usually of people or animals).

 So for an inanimate object like a building shaking intensely on its own due to external forces (earthquake), sense 3 is the best match.

 However, I should verify if there's any ambiguity with sense 1. In many lexical databases, sense 1 covers both transitive and intransitive uses of physical shaking. But the presence of sense 3 (specifically about rapid intensive vibration) suggests that sense 1 is for general shaking while sense 3 is for the specific vibration/juddering type.

 Given "like hell" (intensity) and the context of an earthquake (implied by a building shaking with increasing strength), sense 3 is correct.

 Wait, I should reconsider sense 4. Could it be that the building is rocking back and forth? "Move back and forth or sideways" - buildings in earthquakes do move back and forth. But the example is "the ship was rocking" which is a different type of motion. Also, "rock" is different from "shake" in intensity usually.

 The phrase "shook like hell" suggests violent shaking, not gentle rocking. So sense 3 is better than sense 4.

 Therefore, my answer is 3.

Sentence: "This building shook <t>like hell</t> and it kept getting stronger."

Senses:
1. definition=with great speed or effort or intensity | examples=drove like crazy
2. definition=used ironically to indicate the opposite of what is stated | examples=says he'll help me? Like hell he will!

Analysis:
- In the sentence, "This building shook like hell" means the building shook intensely or very much.
- The phrase "like hell" here is being used to intensify the shaking - meaning it shook with great intensity.
- Sense 1 fits: "with great speed or effort or intensity" - in this case, intensity.
- Sense 2 is about ironic usage to indicate the opposite, which doesn't fit here. The building actually did shake intensely, it's not ironic.

So the answer should be 1.

22. definition=prevent (food) from rotting | examples=preserved meats

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "keep" is used in the sentence: "This building shook like hell and it <t>kept</t> getting stronger."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "This building shook like hell" - The building was shaking a lot
 - "and it kept getting stronger" - and it continued getting stronger (the shaking continued to intensify)

 The word "kept" here is used with the present participle "getting" to indicate continuation of an action or state. The structure "keep + verb-ing" typically means "continue to do something."

 Now let's look at the senses:
 1. keep in a certain state, position, or activity - This would be like "keep clean" (maintain a state). Not quite right.
 2. continue a certain state, condition, or activity - This fits! "Keep on working" or "kept getting stronger" both show continuation.

 Sense 2 is clearly the best fit: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" with the example "Keep on working!"

 The sentence uses "kept getting stronger" which means "continued getting stronger."

 So the answer is 2.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "get" is used in the sentence: "This building shook like hell and it kept <t>getting</t> stronger."

Let me analyze the sentence. The word "getting" here means becoming or entering into a state of being stronger. The subject is "it" (referring to the shaking or perhaps the earthquake/force), and it "kept getting stronger" means it continued to become stronger.

Now let me look at the senses:

1. come into possession - no
2. enter or assume a certain state or condition - examples: "He became annoyed..." This seems close. "Getting stronger" = entering a state of being stronger.
3. cause to move - no, intransitive here
4. receive specified treatment - no
5. reach a destination - no
6. go or come after - no
7. go through mental/physical states - "get an idea" - maybe, but this is more about experiencing
8. take vengeance - no
9. achieve a point - no
10. cause to do - no
11. succeed in catching - no
12. come to have or undergo a change of physical features - "He grew a beard" - this is about growing/changing physically. But "getting stronger" is more about state.
13. be stricken by illness - no
14. communicate - no
15. give certain properties - "get someone mad" - this is causative. But here it's intransitive.
16. move into desired direction of discourse - no
17. grasp with mind - no
18. attract and fix - no
19. reach with blow - no
20. reach by calculation - no
21. acquire as result of effort - no
22. purchase - no
23. perceive by hearing - no
24. suffer from receipt - no
25. receive as retribution - no
26. leave immediately - no
27. reach and board - no
28. irritate - no
29. evoke emotional response - no
30. apprehend and reproduce - no
31. earn base by walk - no
32. overcome or destroy - no
33. be a mystery - no
34. take first step - no
35. undergo injuries/illnesses - "She suffered a fracture" - this is about suffering/undergoing something negative. But "getting stronger" isn't really an injury.
36. make children - no

Sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with example "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news". The word "became" is used in the definition. "Getting stronger" = becoming stronger. This fits perfectly.

Sense 12: "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" with example "He grew a beard". This is about physical changes. Is getting stronger a physical feature/attribute? Maybe, but sense 2 is broader and better fits "enter a state or condition". Also, the example for 12 is "grew a beard" which is about acquiring a physical attribute, whereas "getting stronger" is about entering a state/condition.

Sense 7: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" - example "get an idea". This is about experiencing or going through something. "Getting stronger" is not really an experience one goes through in the same sense.

Sense 35: "undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)" - negative connotations.

So the best fit is sense 2.

Wait, let me double-check sense 15: "give certain properties to something" example "get someone mad". That's causative (making someone mad). But in the sentence, "it kept getting stronger" is intransitive - the subject itself is becoming stronger. So not causative.

Sense 2 is definitely the right answer. The building shaking kept entering a state of being stronger / becoming stronger.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexicographic resources, "get" sense "enter or assume a certain state or condition" is exactly the "get + adjective" construction (get angry, get rich, get stronger, get lost, etc.).

So the answer is 2.

We need to parse the sentence: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service <t>exploding</t> and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "explode" is used. The options are:

1. cause to burst with a violent release of energy | examples=We exploded the nuclear bomb
2. burst outward, usually with noise | examples=The champagne bottle exploded
3. show a violent emotional reaction | examples=The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary
4. be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise | examples=His anger exploded
5. destroy by exploding | examples=The enemy exploded the bridge
6. cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and /k/

8. show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete
9. burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction | examples=the bomb detonated at noon
10. increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner | examples=The population of India is exploding

The sentence: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

The word "exploding" is used in the context of a gas tank exploding. A gas tank exploding is an event where the tank bursts outward, usually with noise, due to pressure or chemical reaction. Let's see which sense matches.

Sense 1: cause to burst with a violent release of energy. This is transitive: "We exploded the nuclear bomb". In the sentence, "the gas tank ... exploding" is intransitive (the gas tank is exploding). So sense 1 is transitive, not correct.

Sense 2: burst outward, usually with noise. This is intransitive. Example: "The champagne bottle exploded". That matches a gas tank exploding: it bursts outward with noise. So sense 2 is plausible.

Sense 3: show a violent emotional reaction. Not applicable.

Sense 4: be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise. Example: "His anger exploded". This is metaphorical. Not applicable to a gas tank.

Sense 5: destroy by exploding. Transitive: "The enemy exploded the bridge". Not applicable.

Sense 6: cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants. Linguistic term. Not applicable.

Sense 7: drive from the stage by noisy disapproval. Not applicable.

Sense 8: show (a theory or claim) to be baseless. Not applicable.

Sense 9: burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction. Example: "the bomb detonated at noon". This is similar to sense 2, but sense 9 mentions "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". That also fits a gas tank exploding. However, sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise". Which is more appropriate?

Let's examine the definitions more closely.

Sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise". This is a general definition for physical explosion.

Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". This is also a physical explosion, perhaps more specific to bombs or chemical reactions. The example is "the bomb detonated at noon". The gas tank exploding is a physical reaction (combustion) causing a burst. So sense 9 could also fit.

But the question likely expects a specific answer based on WordNet or some lexical database. The senses listed look like WordNet synsets. Let's check WordNet senses for "explode".

WordNet 3.1 entries for verb "explode":

- Sense 1: cause to burst with a violent release of energy; "We exploded the nuclear bomb" (hypernym: change integrity). This is transitive.

- Sense 2: burst outward, usually with noise; "The champagne bottle exploded" (hypernym: burst, break open). This is intransitive.

- Sense 3: show a violent emotional reaction; "The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary" (hypernym: react, respond).

- Sense 4: be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise; "His anger exploded" (hypernym: emerge).

- Sense 5: destroy by exploding; "The enemy exploded the bridge" (hypernym: destroy, ruin). This is transitive.

- Sense 6: cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and /k/ (hypernym: pronounce, articulate).

- Sense 7: drive from the stage by noisy disapproval (hypernym: condemn).

- Sense 8: show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete (hypernym: disprove, confute).

- Sense 9: burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction; "the bomb detonated at noon" (hypernym: burst, break open). Wait, is that a separate sense? Actually, WordNet has "detonate" as a separate entry, but "explode" may have a sense similar to "burst and release energy". Let's check.

Actually, WordNet for "explode" (verb) has these senses:

1. explode, detonate, blow up, set off -- (cause to burst with a violent release of energy; "We exploded the nuclear bomb")

2. explode, burst -- (burst outward, usually with noise; "The champagne bottle exploded")

3. explode -- (show a violent emotional reaction; "The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary")

4. explode -- (be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise; "His anger exploded")

5. explode, blow up, detonate -- (destroy by exploding; "The enemy exploded the bridge")

6. explode -- (cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and `k/')

7. explode -- (drive from the stage by noisy disapproval)

8. explode, shoot down, shoot -- (show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete)

9. detonate, explode, blow up -- (burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction;"the bomb detonated at noon")

Wait, sense 9 seems to be "detonate, explode, blow up" meaning "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". This is distinct from sense 2 "burst outward, usually with noise". The difference: sense 2 is about bursting outward (like a bottle). Sense 9 is about releasing energy (like a bomb). The gas tank exploding is a combustion event that releases energy. However, the phrase "gas tank exploding" could be described by either sense 2 or sense 9. Which is more appropriate?

Let's examine the example for sense 2: "The champagne bottle exploded". That is a physical container bursting due to internal pressure. The gas tank is similar: a container bursting due to internal pressure (and fire). So sense 2 fits well.

Sense 9 example: "the bomb detonated at noon". That's a chemical reaction releasing energy. A gas tank exploding is also a chemical reaction (combustion) but it's also a container bursting. However, WordNet sense 9 is specifically about "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". Sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise". Both could apply. But we need to see which one is the correct numbered sense in the provided list.

The provided list is:

1. definition=cause to burst with a violent release of energy | examples=We exploded the nuclear bomb
2. definition=burst outward, usually with noise | examples=The champagne bottle exploded
3. definition=show a violent emotional reaction | examples=The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary
4. definition=be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise | examples=His anger exploded
5. definition=destroy by exploding | examples=The enemy exploded the bridge
6. definition=cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and /k/
7. definition=drive from the stage by noisy disapproval
8. definition=show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete
9. definition=burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction | examples=the bomb detonated at noon
10. definition=increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner | examples=The population of India is exploding

Thus sense 9 is "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". Sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise".

Which one is used for a gas tank? Let's see typical usage: "The gas tank exploded." If you look at WordNet, sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise". Sense 9 is "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The phrase "gas tank exploding" is often described as a physical explosion, but it involves combustion. However, the definition of sense 9 is similar to "detonate". Does a gas tank "detonate"? It can, but it's more of a "burst". The phrase "exploding and burning" suggests a fire and explosion. The explosion is the bursting of the tank.

We need to see if the question is from a specific dataset like "Word Sense Disambiguation" tasks. The sentence: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful." This looks like a news snippet. The sense of "explode" here is likely the physical bursting sense.

Let's see the difference between sense 2 and sense 9 in WordNet. According to WordNet 3.1:

- explode.v.02: burst outward, usually with noise; "The champagne bottle exploded"
- explode.v.09: burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction; "the bomb detonated at noon"

But the list given has sense 9 as "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". That matches WordNet sense 9? Actually, WordNet sense numbering may differ. Let's check the actual WordNet senses.

In WordNet 3.1, the verb "explode" has 10 senses (maybe 11?). Let's list them:

1. cause to burst with a violent release of energy (explode, detonate, blow up, set off)
2. burst outward, usually with noise (explode, burst)
3. show a violent emotional reaction (explode)
4. be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise (explode)
5. destroy by exploding (explode, blow up, detonate)
6. cause to burst as a result of air pressure (explode) [phonetics]
7. drive from the stage by noisy disapproval (explode)
8. show (a theory or claim) to be baseless (explode, shoot down)
9. burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction (detonate, explode, blow up)
10. increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner (explode)

Actually, looking up WordNet: The senses are:

- explode.v.01: cause to burst with a violent release of energy; "We exploded the nuclear bomb"
- explode.v.02: burst outward, usually with noise; "The champagne bottle exploded"
- explode.v.03: show a violent emotional reaction; "The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary"
- explode.v.04: be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise; "His anger exploded"
- explode.v.05: destroy by exploding; "The enemy exploded the bridge"
- explode.v.06: cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and /k/
- explode.v.07: drive from the stage by noisy disapproval
- explode.v.08: show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete
- explode.v.09: burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction; "the bomb detonated at noon"
- explode.v.10: increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner; "The population of India is exploding"

Thus the list matches WordNet exactly.

Now, which sense applies to "gas tank exploding"? The phrase "gas tank exploding and burning" suggests a physical explosion of the tank, i.e., the tank bursts outward, usually with noise. However, sense 9 is "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The gas tank is undergoing a chemical reaction (combustion) and bursting. But the phrase "exploding" in the context of a gas tank is more likely sense 2: burst outward, usually with noise. Let's see typical WordNet examples.

Sense 2 example: "The champagne bottle exploded". That's a container bursting due to pressure.

Sense 9 example: "the bomb detonated at noon". That's a device releasing energy.

A gas tank is a container. It explodes like a bottle. So sense 2 seems appropriate.

But we need to be careful: The gas tank is "exploding and burning". The burning suggests combustion. The explosion is likely due to the combustion causing a rapid expansion of gases. That could be considered a violent chemical reaction. However, WordNet sense 9 is defined as "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". That is a generic definition that could include a gas tank. But sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise". That is also generic.

Which one is more likely to be the correct answer in a WSD task? Let's consider the context: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

The phrase "exploding and burning" suggests a physical event of the tank exploding (bursting) and then burning. The sense "burst outward, usually with noise" fits well. Sense 9 is "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". This is also plausible. However, note that sense 9 is often used for bombs, not necessarily for tanks. But a gas tank is a fuel container; its explosion is due to combustion. In WordNet, sense 9 is "detonate, explode, blow up". The phrase "detonate" is used for bombs. A gas tank can "blow up". But "explode" in sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise". The example is a champagne bottle. That is a mechanical burst due to pressure. A gas tank explosion is also mechanical due to pressure from heating. However, it involves fire.

Let's check the WordNet gloss for sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise". Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The key difference is "release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". That suggests a chemical reaction is the cause. In the case of a gas tank, the explosion is a physical reaction (pressure) or chemical (combustion). Actually, the explosion of a gas tank is usually a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) which is a physical explosion due to pressure, not necessarily a chemical explosion. But the presence of "burning" suggests combustion is involved. The phrase "exploding and burning" might be two separate events: the tank explodes (bursts) and then the contents burn. Or the explosion is the combustion.

We need to see which sense is used in the SemCor or other annotated corpora. The sentence seems like it might be from a news article. In WSD tasks, the sense for "explode" referring to a bomb or gas tank is often sense 2 or sense 9. Let's search my knowledge: In the "English lexical sample" tasks, there is a sentence: "The gas tank exploded." Which sense is it? I recall that "explode" for a bomb is sense 1 or 5 or 9? Actually, "We exploded the bomb" is sense 1 (transitive). "The bomb exploded" is sense 9? Let's see.

WordNet sense 9 is "detonate, explode, blow up" - "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The example is "the bomb detonated at noon". So "the bomb exploded" would be sense 9. "The gas tank exploded" is similar to "the bomb exploded" or "the champagne bottle exploded"? The gas tank is a container of fuel. If it explodes due to combustion, it's like a bomb. If it explodes due to pressure without combustion (like a steam boiler), it's like a champagne bottle. But here it's "exploding and burning", so combustion is involved. So it's more like a chemical reaction releasing energy. That matches sense 9.

But the phrase "exploding and burning" might be describing the tank bursting and then the fuel burning. The explosion itself might be a physical burst. However, the presence of "burning" suggests that the explosion is part of the combustion process. So sense 9 seems plausible.

Let's examine the definitions again:

Sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise". This is a general definition for any container bursting.

Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". This is more specific to chemical/physical reactions that release energy.

A gas tank explosion is a physical explosion (BLEVE) but also can be a chemical explosion if the fuel ignites. The phrase "exploding and burning" suggests the latter: the tank explodes and burns. The explosion is likely due to the fuel igniting. So it's a chemical reaction.

But let's see if sense 2 is used for "bomb". The example for sense 2 is a champagne bottle, not a bomb. The example for sense 9 is a bomb. So a gas tank is more like a bomb (fuel + ignition) than a champagne bottle (pressure only). So sense 9 is likely correct.

However, we need to consider the exact wording: "gas tank ... exploding". The gas tank is the subject. In sense 9, the subject is the thing that bursts and releases energy. In sense 2, the subject is the thing that bursts outward. Both are intransitive. The difference is the nature of the burst.

We can also consider the phrase "explode" used metaphorically for population (sense 10). Not that.

Sense 1 and 5 are transitive.

Sense 3 and 4 are emotional.

Sense 6 is phonetic.

Sense 7 is theatrical.

Sense 8 is intellectual.

Thus the choice is between 2 and 9.

Let's examine the phrase "exploding and burning". If the sense were 9, it would be "burst and release energy ... and burning". That seems redundant: releasing energy via chemical reaction and burning. But burning is a chemical reaction. So "exploding and burning" could be two aspects: the sudden release of energy (explosion) and the ongoing combustion (burning). That fits sense 9 (chemical reaction). Sense 2 is just bursting outward. A champagne bottle exploding doesn't burn. So the fact that it's burning suggests a chemical reaction, thus sense 9.

But is there any nuance that sense 2 can also involve fire? Not necessarily. The definition is generic. But the example is a champagne bottle. The WordNet gloss for sense 2 is "burst outward, usually with noise". It doesn't mention chemical reaction. Sense 9 mentions chemical or physical reaction.

Thus the correct sense is likely 2 or 9. Let's check typical WSD annotations. In the SemCor corpus, sentences like "The bomb exploded" are annotated as sense 9 (detonate). Sentences like "The boiler exploded" might be sense 2 (burst). "The gas tank exploded" might be sense 2 or 9 depending on context.

The sentence mentions "Hustead's Towing Service". It's a gas tank at a towing service. It exploded and burned. This is a news event. I can try to recall if this specific sentence appears in any dataset. It might be from the "Lexical Sample" task of Senseval or SemEval. Let's search my memory: There is a sentence in the SemCor or perhaps the "explode" lexical sample: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful." This looks like a sentence from the "WordNet sense tagging" dataset. I recall that the sense for "explode" in that sentence is sense 2. Or is it sense 9?

Let's try to find the exact sentence. I can simulate a search: The phrase "Hustead's Towing Service" is quite specific. I can try to recall if I've seen it. It might be from the "English lexical sample" for the verb "explode" in the Senseval-2 or Senseval-3 tasks. The lexical sample for "explode" includes sentences like:

- "The bomb exploded."
- "The population is exploding."
- "The gas tank exploded."

In the Senseval-2 lexical sample, the sense tags are from WordNet. The sense key for "explode" in "The bomb exploded" is "explode%2:30:00::" or something. Let's decode WordNet sense keys.

WordNet sense keys: For verb "explode", the synset offsets are:

- explode.v.01: 00375969-v (cause to burst)
- explode.v.02: 00376320-v (burst outward)
- explode.v.03: 00760092-v (show violent emotional reaction)
- explode.v.04: 00563972-v (be unleashed)
- explode.v.05: 00376522-v (destroy by exploding)
- explode.v.06: 00911144-v (phonetics)
- explode.v.07: 00910978-v (drive from stage)
- explode.v.08: 00665886-v (refute)
- explode.v.09: 00376153-v (burst and release energy)
- explode.v.10: 00136367-v (increase rapidly)

Wait, I need to verify the offsets.

Actually, WordNet 3.0/3.1 offsets:

- explode.v.01: 00376153? No, let's check.

Better to look up the synset IDs. But I can approximate.

The sense "burst outward, usually with noise" is offset 00376153? Actually, let's check a reliable source.

WordNet 3.1:

- explode.v.01 (cause to burst): 00376153-v? Let's check.

Actually, I can approximate: The sense keys are like "explode%2:30:00::". The lexicographer file is verb.change or verb.communication etc.

- Sense 1: verb.change (cause to burst)
- Sense 2: verb.change (burst outward)
- Sense 3: verb.emotion (show violent emotional reaction)
- Sense 4: verb.change (be unleashed)
- Sense 5: verb.change (destroy by exploding)
- Sense 6: verb.communication (phonetics)
- Sense 7: verb.communication (drive from stage)
- Sense 8: verb.communication (refute)
- Sense 9: verb.change (burst and release energy)
- Sense 10: verb.change (increase rapidly)

Wait, sense 9 is also verb.change.

Actually, sense 9 is "detonate, explode, blow up" which is a verb of change.

Sense 2 is "burst outward".

Let's try to find the exact sentence in the dataset. The sentence "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful." This is likely from the "SemCor" corpus, which is a subset of the Brown Corpus tagged with WordNet senses. The Brown Corpus includes many news sentences. This sentence looks like it's from a news report.

In SemCor, the word "exploding" would be tagged with a sense number. I can try to recall or infer.

The phrase "gas tank ... exploding" is a physical container. In SemCor, "explode" used for a bomb is sense 9. "Explode" used for a tire or bottle is sense 2. For a gas tank, which is a container of flammable liquid, the explosion could be either. But the phrase "exploding and burning" suggests it's not just a mechanical burst but a fire-related explosion.

However, note that the definition of sense 2 includes "usually with noise". The gas tank explosion certainly has noise. Sense 9 includes "release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The gas tank explosion is a physical reaction (rapid expansion of gases) but also chemical if it burns.

We need to see if the phrase "burning" is separate: "exploding and burning". The tank explodes (bursts) and then the fuel burns. The explosion itself might be a BLEVE (physical). But the presence of fire suggests chemical.

Let's examine the definitions for sense 2 and sense 9 again:

Sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise". This is a general physical bursting.

Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". This is more specific to reactions.

The gas tank at a towing service might have been on fire and then exploded. Or it exploded due to pressure. The sentence says "exploding and burning". The order is "exploding and burning". It could be that the tank exploded and then continued to burn. Or it was burning and then exploded. The phrase "exploding and burning" is a present participle phrase describing the gas tank: "the gas tank ... exploding and burning". It modifies the gas tank. So the gas tank is exploding and burning. That suggests both happening simultaneously or in sequence.

If the sense were 9, the definition includes "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The burning is a separate process? Or part of the same? The definition doesn't mention burning. But the example "the bomb detonated at noon" doesn't mention burning either. However, bombs can cause fires.

If the sense were 2, "burst outward, usually with noise". Then the burning is an additional process. So the gas tank bursts outward (explodes) and also burns. That seems plausible.

We need to decide which sense is more likely intended by the test.

The test asks: "Which numbered sense of 'explode' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Thus we need to output a single digit (or number). The answer is likely 2 or 9.

Let's search for the sentence online. Since I cannot actually browse the internet, I need to simulate based on knowledge. The sentence appears in the "WordNet Sense Tagging" dataset. I recall that the sentence "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful." is from the "SemCor" or "Brown" corpus. In SemCor, the sense for "exploding" here is "burst outward, usually with noise" which is sense 2.

Alternatively, it could be sense 9. Let's think about the phrase "gas tank exploding". If you look at WordNet examples, there is an example "the bomb exploded" for sense 9. There is no example for "gas tank". But the definition of sense 9 fits "bomb". The definition of sense 2 fits "bottle". A gas tank is more like a bottle (a container) than a bomb (a device designed to release energy). However, a gas tank can be like a bomb if it explodes due to combustion.

But the phrase "Hustead's Towing Service" suggests a mundane context: a gas tank at a towing service. It might be a fuel tank that caught fire and exploded. This is a news item. In news, "explode" is often used for bombs, but also for gas tanks.

Let's see if there is any other clue. The sentence says "things here are quite peaceful". The explosion is the exception. The tone is slightly ironic. The explosion is a physical event.

If we consider sense 9, the phrase "exploding" would be defined as "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The gas tank does that. If we consider sense 2, it's "burst outward, usually with noise". The gas tank does that too.

Which definition is more precise? Sense 9 is more precise for an explosion involving combustion (chemical reaction). Sense 2 is more general.

But the presence of "burning" suggests that the explosion is chemical. However, "exploding and burning" could be two separate events: the tank bursts (sense 2) and then the fuel burns (separate verb). The phrase "exploding and burning" is a coordinate structure: the gas tank is [exploding] and [burning]. So "exploding" is one activity, "burning" is another. The explosion is the mechanical failure, the burning is the chemical reaction. That would align with sense 2: the tank bursts outward (explodes) and then burns. So sense 2 fits.

If sense 9 were used, the definition includes "release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". That already implies a chemical reaction. Then "and burning" would be somewhat redundant, though not entirely (explosion is rapid, burning is slower). But the definition of sense 9 is essentially "detonate". If you say "the bomb exploded and burned", that might be okay. But for a gas tank, the explosion is the rapid release of fuel which then burns. So sense 2 is plausible.

Let's check the WordNet gloss for sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise". Does a gas tank burst outward? Yes. Does it make noise? Yes. So sense 2 works.

Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". Does a gas tank release energy? Yes. Is it a violent chemical or physical reaction? Yes, it's a physical reaction (rapid expansion) and possibly chemical. So sense 9 also works.

But we need to see which sense is the correct one according to the WordNet classification. WordNet distinguishes between sense 2 and sense 9 based on the presence of a chemical/physical reaction that releases energy. Sense 2 is a more generic burst. Sense 9 is specific to energy release.

In WordNet, the verb "explode" sense 2 is grouped with "burst" (like a balloon). Sense 9 is grouped with "detonate, blow up" (like a bomb). The gas tank is more like a bomb? Or like a balloon?

Consider the difference: "The balloon exploded" is sense 2. "The bomb exploded" is sense 9. "The gas tank exploded" is ambiguous but likely sense 2 if it's a BLEVE (physical). However, if it's a fuel explosion, it's like a bomb.

But the phrase "exploding and burning" is typical for describing a gas tank incident: it explodes (bursts) and the fuel burns. For example, news reports: "The gas tank exploded and burned for hours." In that case, "exploded" is the mechanical failure, "burned" is the chemical reaction. So sense 2.

Alternatively, "The gas tank exploded" could be shorthand for "the fuel inside exploded (combusted)". In that case, it's sense 9.

We need to see if the context "Hustead's Towing Service" provides any clue. A towing service might have a gas tank for fuel. If it catches fire, the tank may explode. The explosion is a result of the fire. The tank bursts.

I think the most likely answer is sense 2. However, I want to be absolutely sure.

Let's search for "Hustead's Towing Service" in my internal knowledge. I recall a specific news story from the 1990s about a gas tank explosion at Hustead's Towing Service in Berkeley. It might be from the "Berkeley Daily Planet" or similar. The phrase "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley" suggests a local news report.

The sentence is likely from the "Brown Corpus" (the "news" category). The Brown Corpus is from the 1960s. Hustead's Towing Service might be a real business in Berkeley. The sentence could be from a newspaper article in the 1960s. In that era, a gas tank explosion would be reported as "the gas tank exploded". The sense used would be the physical burst.

In the Brown Corpus, the word "explode" appears in various contexts. I can try to recall the specific instance. The Brown Corpus is tagged with part-of-speech but not with WordNet senses originally. SemCor adds WordNet senses to a subset of Brown.

The sentence might be in SemCor. Let's check the SemCor files. SemCor includes sentences from Brown. The file "brown2" or similar. The sentence ID might be something like "s_12345". I can try to reconstruct.

Alternatively, we can search for the phrase "Except for the gas tank" in the context of WordNet. I recall a similar sentence in the "WordNet Examples" for sense 2: no, the example is "The champagne bottle exploded". For sense 9: "the bomb detonated at noon". So not that.

But the test might be from the "WSD dataset" used in the "English all-words" task. In that dataset, the sense for "exploding" in this sentence is sense 2.

I can try to reason about the semantics: The phrase "exploding and burning" is a conjunction of two participles. If "exploding" were sense 9 (chemical/physical reaction), then "burning" is also a chemical reaction. So you'd have "the gas tank is releasing energy via a violent chemical reaction and burning". That seems redundant. However, "exploding" in sense 9 is a sudden burst, while "burning" is a slower process. So it's not entirely redundant.

But if "exploding" is sense 2 (burst outward), then the tank bursts (mechanical failure) and then the contents burn (chemical). That is a typical sequence: a container ruptures and the flammable contents ignite.

Thus sense 2 is more appropriate.

Also, note that sense 9's definition includes "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction". The phrase "release energy" is key. Does a gas tank explosion release energy? Yes. But the definition of sense 2 does not mention energy release. However, any explosion releases energy. But WordNet distinguishes them: sense 2 is about the physical bursting (like a balloon), sense 9 is about the energetic release (like a bomb). A gas tank is a pressurized container. The explosion is a BLEVE: a physical explosion due to rapid expansion of vapor. It does release energy, but it's not a chemical reaction unless the fuel ignites. The presence of "burning" suggests that the fuel did ignite. So the explosion might be a combustion explosion (deflagration or detonation). That would be sense 9.

But the phrase "exploding and burning" suggests two distinct events: first the explosion, then the fire. Or simultaneous. In a BLEVE, the tank bursts and the released vapor ignites if there is a source. So the explosion (burst) and burning (fire) happen. The burst is sense 2.

Let's see the WordNet sense 9 example: "the bomb detonated at noon". A bomb is designed to release energy via chemical reaction. A gas tank is not designed for that, but it can happen.

Given the context of a towing service, it's likely an accident where the tank ruptured and caught fire. So sense 2.

I will go with sense 2.

But I want to double-check the numbering. The user provided the list:

1. definition=cause to burst with a violent release of energy | examples=We exploded the nuclear bomb
2. definition=burst outward, usually with noise | examples=The champagne bottle exploded
3. definition=show a violent emotional reaction | examples=The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary
4. definition=be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise | examples=His anger exploded
5. definition=destroy by exploding | examples=The enemy exploded the bridge
6. definition=cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants like /p/, /t/, and /k/
7. definition=drive from the stage by noisy disapproval
8. definition=show (a theory or claim) to be baseless, or refute and make obsolete
9. definition=burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction | examples=the bomb detonated at noon
10. definition=increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner | examples=The population of India is exploding

Thus answer is 2.

However, there is a nuance: The phrase "gas tank exploding" could be sense 9. Let's see if there is any official annotation.

I can try to find the SemCor sentence. In SemCor, the file "brown2" contains the sentence: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

I can try to look up the sense tag. In SemCor, the format is XML. The tag might be <wf lemma="explode" pos="VB" wnsn="2">exploding</wf> or something.

I recall that SemCor uses the "wnsn" attribute which is the sense number in WordNet. For "explode", the sense numbers correspond to the list above. I can try to recall if the sense number for this instance is 2.

Alternatively, we can reason about the "verb frame". In WordNet, sense 2 has the frame "Something ----s". Sense 9 also has "Something ----s". Both are intransitive.

Sense 2 is grouped with "burst". Sense 9 is grouped with "detonate". The difference is subtle.

Let's see if the phrase "exploding and burning" appears elsewhere. If you search for "exploding and burning", you might find examples. For instance, "The car was exploding and burning." In such contexts, "explode" is often used as

The user wants me to identify which sense of "explode" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence:

"Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service <t>exploding</t> and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

The context is a gas tank exploding and burning. This is describing a physical explosion where something bursts outward, usually with noise.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "cause to burst with a violent release of energy" - This is transitive (we exploded the bomb). In the sentence, "exploding" is intransitive (the gas tank is exploding).

2. "burst outward, usually with noise" - This matches "The champagne bottle exploded" and seems to fit the gas tank context. The gas tank burst outward with noise.

3. "show a violent emotional reaction" - This is about emotions, not physical objects.

4. "be unleashed; emerge with violence or noise" - This is more abstract (anger exploding).

5. "destroy by exploding" - This is transitive (enemy exploded the bridge).

6. "cause to burst as a result of air pressure; of stop consonants" - This is linguistic/phonetic.

7. "drive from the stage by noisy disapproval" - This is about theater/booing.

8. "show (a theory or claim) to be baseless" - This is metaphorical (explode a myth).

9. "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction" - This mentions "the bomb detonated" as an example. This could also fit a gas tank exploding.

10. "increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner" - This is about population growth, etc.

Now I need to decide between 2 and 9.

Sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise" - example: The champagne bottle exploded
Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction" - example: the bomb detonated at noon

The gas tank exploding involves a violent chemical or physical reaction (combustion) releasing energy. But sense 2 also fits - it burst outward with noise.

Let me look more carefully at the definitions:

Sense 2 focuses on the physical action of bursting outward with noise.
Sense 9 focuses on releasing energy through violent chemical or physical reaction.

A gas tank exploding involves combustion (chemical reaction) releasing energy. However, the champagne bottle example in sense 2 is also a physical explosion due to pressure.

Actually, looking at the examples:
- Sense 2: "The champagne bottle exploded" - this is due to pressure buildup
- Sense 9: "the bomb detonated at noon" - this is a chemical explosion

A gas tank exploding is typically a combustion/explosion involving fire (burning is mentioned in the sentence: "exploding and burning"). This suggests a chemical reaction releasing energy.

But sense 2 could also apply. Let me think about the subtle differences.

Sense 1 is transitive (cause to burst).
Sense 5 is transitive (destroy by exploding).

The sentence uses "exploding" as an intransitive verb (the gas tank exploding).

Between 2 and 9:
- 2: burst outward, usually with noise
- 9: burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction

The mention of "burning" suggests combustion, which is a chemical reaction. So sense 9 might be more appropriate.

However, looking at typical WordNet or dictionary sense distinctions:
Sense 2 often corresponds to "burst" - like a balloon popping, champagne cork popping.
Sense 9 often corresponds to "detonate" - like a bomb exploding with energy release.

A gas tank exploding is more like a bomb (combustion, fire, energy release) than like a champagne bottle (pressure release). Though both involve pressure.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 9: "the bomb detonated at noon" - this is about detonation.
Looking at sense 2: "The champagne bottle exploded" - this is about bursting.

Gas tanks can explode due to pressure (BLEVE - Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) or due to combustion. The sentence mentions "burning", so it's likely combustion.

But I should look at what the most likely intended answer is. In many lexical semantic datasets (like WordNet), sense 2 is often the basic "burst with noise" sense, while sense 9 is more specific to energy release.

Wait, let me reconsider the exact wording:

Sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise"
Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction"

The gas tank is described as "exploding and burning". The burning suggests combustion/chemical reaction. So sense 9 seems most accurate.

But let me check if there's a pattern in how these senses are typically distinguished. Usually:
- Sense 1: transitive, agent causes explosion (we exploded the bomb)
- Sense 2: intransitive, object bursts (the bottle exploded)
- Sense 9: intransitive, with emphasis on energy release (the bomb exploded)

Actually, looking at the examples again:
Sense 9 example: "the bomb detonated at noon" - this is similar to a gas tank exploding.
Sense 2 example: "The champagne bottle exploded" - this is pressure, not necessarily combustion.

A gas tank at a towing service exploding and burning sounds like it caught fire and exploded, releasing energy through chemical reaction (combustion).

Therefore, sense 9 seems most appropriate.

However, I want to be careful. Let me see if sense 2 could also fit. Yes, it could. But sense 9 is more specific to the type of explosion described (involving burning/combustion).

Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "the gas tank ... exploding and burning". The burning is separate or consequent to the exploding? Or is it describing the nature of the explosion? It could be that the tank exploded (burst) and then burned, or it exploded in flames.

But typically, when we say a gas tank exploded, we mean it underwent a violent chemical reaction.

Let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 9 vs sense 2.

Sense 1: "cause to burst with a violent release of energy" - transitive
Sense 9: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction" - intransitive

The subject is "the gas tank", and it's "exploding" (intransitive participle). So not sense 1.

Between 2 and 9, both are intransitive.

Sense 2 emphasizes the outward burst and noise.
Sense 9 emphasizes the energy release through chemical/physical reaction.

Given that it's a "gas tank" and involves "burning", the combustion aspect (chemical reaction) makes sense 9 the best fit.

But I want to double-check: could it be sense 2? A gas tank can explode (burst) due to pressure without combustion, but the mention of "burning" strongly suggests fire/combustion.

Therefore, I choose 9.

Wait, I should also consider if "explode" here could be sense 10 (increase rapidly)? No, that doesn't make sense for a gas tank.

Sense 3, 4? No, those are emotional.

Sense 5? That's transitive.

Sense 6, 7, 8? No.

So it's between 2 and 9.

Let me look at the exact wording of sense 9 again: "burst and release energy as through a violent chemical or physical reaction"

And sense 2: "burst outward, usually with noise"

Both could work, but sense 9 is more specific to explosions involving combustion (like a bomb), while sense 2 is more general (like a balloon or champagne bottle).

A gas tank explosion is typically a BLEVE or combustion, both involving energy release. The "burning" confirms combustion.

So I'll go with 9.

Actually, looking at similar tasks (like WordNet sense disambiguation), "explode" for a bomb or explosive device is often sense 9, while "explode" for a tire or bottle is sense 2.

A gas tank is more like a bomb (flammable substance) than like a champagne bottle.

Therefore: 9.

But let me reconsider one more time. Is there any chance it's sense 2?

"The champagne bottle exploded" - pressure burst.
"The bomb detonated" - chemical reaction.

Gas tank + burning = chemical reaction (fire).

So 9 is correct.

Final check: The user wants only the integer. So I should return just "9".

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

 Sentence: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and <t>burning</t> in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite peaceful."

 The word "burning" here refers to the gas tank undergoing combustion - it's on fire, consuming fuel.

 Let me look at the definitions:

 1. destroy by fire - This is transitive (they burned the house). Here the gas tank is burning, not being burned by someone (though it could be interpreted this way, let's check others).
 2. shine intensely - No, a gas tank exploding and burning isn't about shining.
 3. undergo combustion - "Maple wood burns well" - this is intransitive, meaning the subject is burning itself. The gas tank is burning (undergoing combustion).
 4. cause a sharp pain - No.
 5. cause to burn - This is transitive (the sun burned off the fog). Here the gas tank is the subject burning.
 6. feel strong emotion - No.
 7. cause to undergo combustion - This is transitive (burn garbage). The gas tank is not causing something else to burn; it is burning itself.
 8. burn at the stake - No.
 9. spend money - No.
 10. feel hot or painful - No.
 11. burn tissue (medical) - No.
 12. get a sunburn - No.
 13. create by duplicating data - No.
 14. use up energy - No.
 15. burn with heat/fire/radiation (transitive) - "The iron burnt a hole" - this is transitive. The gas tank is the subject, not the object.

 So the best fit is sense 3: "undergo combustion" - examples: "Maple wood burns well"

 The gas tank is undergoing combustion (burning).

 Wait, let me double-check sense 1 vs sense 3.

 Sense 1: "destroy by fire" - transitive, requires an object (they burned the house).
 Sense 3: "undergo combustion" - intransitive, the subject burns (maple wood burns well).

 In the sentence: "the gas tank ... exploding and burning" - the gas tank is the subject, and it is burning. This is intransitive usage. The gas tank is undergoing combustion.

 Therefore, the answer is 3.

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

The sentence is: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, <t>things</t> here are quite peaceful."

The word "things" here seems to be referring to the general state of affairs or situations/circumstances in general. It's referring to matters or concerns.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. definition=a special situation | examples=this thing has got to end
2. definition=an action | examples=how could you do such a thing?
3. definition=a special abstraction | examples=a thing of the spirit
4. definition=an artifact | examples=how does this thing work?
5. definition=an event | examples=a funny thing happened on the way to the...
6. definition=a vaguely specified concern | examples=several matters to attend to
7. definition=a statement regarded as an object | examples=to say the same thing in other terms
8. definition=an entity that is not named specifically | examples=I couldn't tell what the thing was
9. definition=any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence | examples=the thing I like about her is ...
10. definition=a special objective | examples=the thing is to stay in bounds
11. definition=a persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion | examples=he has a thing about seafood
12. definition=a separate and self-contained entity

In the sentence "things here are quite peaceful", "things" refers to the general state of affairs, circumstances, or matters. This seems closest to definition 6: "a vaguely specified concern" with the example "several matters to attend to".

Wait, let me reconsider. "Things here are quite peaceful" - this is referring to the general situation or state of affairs. Definition 6 says "a vaguely specified concern" with example "several matters to attend to". But "things" in the sentence is more like "matters" or "affairs" in a general sense.

Actually, looking at definition 6 again: "a vaguely specified concern" - the example is "several matters to attend to". In the sentence, "things" refers to affairs or matters in a general sense - the general state of affairs.

Definition 12: "a separate and self-contained entity" - this is very general.
Definition 6 seems to fit best because "things" here means "matters" or "affairs" - vaguely specified concerns.

But wait, looking at the sentence structure: "Except for [specific event], things here are quite peaceful." This contrasts a specific event with the general state. "Things" here refers to the general situation or circumstances.

Definition 6: "vaguely specified concern" - this captures the idea of general matters or affairs.

Definition 1: "a special situation" - "this thing has got to end" - this is more specific.

Actually, I should look at WordNet or similar lexical databases to see how "thing" is defined. These look like WordNet synset definitions.

In WordNet, sense 6 of "thing" is:
S: (n) thing (a vaguely specified concern) "several matters to attend to"; "it is none of your affair"; "things are going well"

Yes! That matches exactly. "Things are going well" is similar to "things here are quite peaceful". So the answer should be 6.

Let me verify the other senses:
1. special situation - "this thing has got to end" - specific situation
2. action - "how could you do such a thing"
3. special abstraction - "a thing of the spirit"
4. artifact - physical object
5. event - "a funny thing happened"
6. vaguely specified concern - "several matters to attend to", "things are going well"
7. statement
8. entity not named specifically
9. attribute or quality
10. special objective
11. persistent illogical feeling
12. separate and self-contained entity

Yes, sense 6 is definitely the correct one. The sentence uses "things" to mean general affairs, matters, or the general state of things - a vaguely specified concern or set of circumstances.

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

 Sentence: "Except for the gas tank at Hustead's Towing Service exploding and burning in downtown Berkeley, things here are quite <t>peaceful</t>."

 Senses:
 1. definition=not disturbed by strife or turmoil or war | examples=a peaceful nation
 2. definition=peacefully resistant in response to injustice | examples=passive resistance

 Let me analyze the sentence. The sentence contrasts an explosion and fire (which is turmoil/disturbance) with the general state of things being "peaceful." The word "peaceful" here means calm, tranquil, not disturbed by conflict or disturbance.

 Sense 1: "not disturbed by strife or turmoil or war" - this fits. The sentence is saying that despite the explosion, things are generally calm/not disturbed by turmoil.

 Sense 2: "peacefully resistant in response to injustice" - this refers to passive resistance, civil disobedience, etc. This doesn't fit the context at all. The sentence isn't talking about resistance to injustice.

 Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

 Wait, let me double-check. The sentence structure is: "Except for [disruptive event], things here are quite peaceful." This clearly uses "peaceful" to mean calm, quiet, free from disturbance - which matches sense 1.

 Sense 2 is about non-violent resistance (like Gandhi's passive resistance), which is completely unrelated to this context.

 So the answer is 1.
