The context is: "wished the stranger could do something about her"

Here, "do" means to perform an action, to take action regarding something. Let me look at the candidates again.

1. sense_key=do%2:41:01:: | definition=engage in | synonyms=make | examples=make love, not war; make an effort
2. sense_key=do%2:36:01:: | definition=carry out or perform an action | synonyms=perform, execute | examples=John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters; the skater executed a triple pirouette
3. sense_key=do%2:41:04:: | definition=get (something) done | synonyms=perform | examples=I did my job
4. sense_key=do%2:42:00:: | definition=proceed or get along | synonyms=fare, make out, come, get along | examples=How is she doing in her new job?; How are you making out in graduate school?
5. sense_key=do%2:36:02:: | definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, make | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir

"do something" in this context means to perform/take action. Sense 2 is "carry out or perform an action" which fits well. Sense 1 is "engage in" which also fits since "do something" = "engage in something."

Looking more carefully, "do something about" is a common collocation meaning to take action to deal with something. Both sense 1 and sense 2 could apply, but "carry out or perform an action" seems most general and fitting. Sense 1 "engage in" is also very similar.

Actually, "do something about" typically maps to performing an action. Sense 2 (carry out or perform an action) seems the best fit.

The context is about Haney mailing a check and then "coming home from work, he was startled to see a police car parked in front of the apartment building." The target word "Coming" is used in the gerund/participle form as part of the phrase "Coming home from work." This describes the act of arriving at home - traveling toward and reaching a destination.

Looking at the candidate senses, sense 2 is "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" with synonyms "arrive, get" and examples "She arrived home at 7 o'clock." This matches perfectly with "Coming home from work" - the person is arriving/reaching home.

Sense 1 is "move toward, travel toward something or somebody" which is about the movement itself rather than the arrival. Sense 2 is specifically about arriving at a destination, which fits "coming home" better.

The answer is sense 2.

The context is about someone coming "home" from work. This refers to the place where they live - their residence/dwelling.

Looking at the options:
1. "where you live at a particular time" - synonyms: place - this fits well for "coming home" meaning returning to one's residence
2. "housing that someone is living in" - synonyms: dwelling, domicile, abode - this is more about the physical structure
3. "the country or state or city where you live" - this is about geographic location
4. baseball plate - not relevant
5. military base - not relevant
6. place where something began - not relevant
7. environment offering affection and security - more abstract
8. social unit/family - not relevant
9. institution - not relevant

"Coming home from work" means returning to the place where one lives. Sense 1 ("where you live at a particular time") is the best fit because it's about the act of returning to one's place of residence, which is exactly what "coming home" means. Sense 2 is more about the physical dwelling itself.

The answer is sense 1.

The target word "work" appears in the phrase "Coming home from <t>work</t>". This refers to the place where the person was working and is now coming home from. Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: activity directed toward making or doing something - generic activity
2. sense 2: a product produced or accomplished - a result/output
3. sense 3: the occupation for which you are paid - employment
4. sense 4: applying the mind to learning - study
5. sense 5: physics work - force times distance
6. sense 6: a place where work is done - workplace
7. sense 7: total output of a writer or artist - oeuvre

"Coming home from work" - this could be sense 3 (employment/occupation) or sense 6 (workplace).

The phrase "coming home from work" typically refers to leaving the workplace and going home. The example for sense 6 is "he arrived at work early today" which fits the pattern of using "work" as a place. "Coming home from work" suggests the location one returns from, which aligns with sense 6 (a place where work is done).

However, "coming home from work" could also mean "coming home from one's job/employment." The distinction is subtle. Let me think more carefully.

"He went back to work Monday" - this is sense 6 (went to the workplace) or sense 3 (resumed employment).
"Coming home from work" - coming back from the workplace.

In WordNet, "he arrived at work early today" is the example for sense 6. "Coming home from work" parallels this - it's about the place. But "work" here could also be understood as the occupation.

Looking at typical WordNet disambiguation, "coming home from work" - the person is leaving the place of work. The example for sense 6 is very similar: "he arrived at work early today" - both are directional (arriving at / coming home from) which suggests a place.

I think sense 6 is the best fit here, as the prepositional phrase "from work" indicates location/place.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Coming home from work" - work here is the location one departs from. Sense 6 is "a place where work is done" with example "he arrived at work early today." This is a very close parallel.

I'll go with sense 6.

The sentence is: "Coming home from work, he was startled to <t>see</t> a police car parked in front of the apartment building."

Here, "see" means to perceive visually with the eyes. The person is coming home and visually perceives a police car. This is the basic sense of seeing/perceiving with sight.

Sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" - this matches perfectly. The person physically sees the police car.

Sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - this is more about witnessing events.

The context clearly indicates visual perception of a physical object (police car) that startled him. This is sense 1.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly."

The gerund "standing" comes from "stand." In this context, people are physically standing upright in the lobby. This is the basic sense of being upright on one's feet.

Sense 1: "be standing; be upright" - This matches well. "We had to stand for the entire performance!" is similar in meaning to people standing in a lobby.

Sense 7: "remain inactive or immobile" - This could also apply since "standing around" implies being inactive, but the primary meaning is about being upright. "standing water" is more about being stagnant/inactive.

Sense 3: "occupy a place or location" - This is about location, not really about posture.

I think sense 1 is the best match because the sentence is about people physically being upright on their feet while in the lobby. The "around" part adds a sense of loitering/inactivity, but the core action is standing upright.

reasoning_content:
The context says "His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition." This is an idiomatic expression - "his spine crawled" - which refers to a physical sensation in the back/spine, likely a shiver or tingling feeling. This refers to the actual physical spine (the vertebral column) of the person, not a book spine or a plant spine.

The expression "spine crawled" is similar to "his blood ran cold" or "his skin crawled" - it's about the physical backbone. So this is sense 1: the series of vertebrae forming the axis of the skeleton.

This matches sense 1, which is about "a feeling of evil to come" with synonyms like foreboding and presentiment. Sense 2 is about an early warning, which doesn't fit as well here since it's describing an internal feeling rather than a warning given by someone or something.

The context: "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened."

This is a question directed to someone to get an answer. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. inquire about - "I asked about their special today"
5. address a question to and expect an answer from - "Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother"
3. direct or put; seek an answer to - "ask a question"

Sense 5 seems most fitting: "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened" - he addressed a question to a fellow tenant and expected an answer. The example "The children asked me about their dead grandmother" is very close to this context.

Sense 1 is "inquire about" which is also close, but sense 5 specifically captures the act of directing a question to a person.

Sense 3 is "ask a question" - more general, could work but sense 5 is more specific and better fits.

I'll go with sense 5 (sense_index 5).

reasoning_content:
The target word "fellow" appears in the phrase "one of his fellow tenants." This refers to another person who is also a tenant, meaning someone in the same situation/role/class as the speaker. This is the "colleague" sense - a person who is a member of one's class or profession (or more broadly, one's group/position).

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 3: "a person who is member of one's class or profession" with synonyms "colleague, confrere" and example "he sent e-mail to his fellow hackers" - this matches perfectly with "fellow tenants"

The answer is sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word "happened" is used in the context: "he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened." This refers to an event that occurred - the landlord had died. The person is asking what took place/what occurred.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=happen%2:30:00:: | definition=come to pass | synonyms=hap, go on, pass off, occur, pass, fall out | examples=What is happening?; The meeting took place off without an incidence

2. sense_key=happen%2:30:02:: | definition=happen, occur, or be the case in the course of events or by chance; ;  (Santayana) | synonyms=befall, bechance | examples=It happens that today is my birthday; These things befell

5. sense_key=happen%2:40:12:: | definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with | synonyms=find, chance, bump, encounter | examples=We find this idea in Plato; I happened upon the most wonderful bakery not very far from here

The context "what had happened" means "what had occurred/taken place." This is asking about an event that came to pass. Sense 1 (come to pass) with synonyms "occur, pass, fall out" is the best match.

Sense 2 is about things happening by chance, which doesn't fit as well since the question is about what occurred, not about something happening by chance.

Sense 1 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "seemed" in the context: "Late that afternoon, it <t>seemed</t>, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection."

This is a parenthetical use of "it seemed" which means "it appeared" or "it seems to be true" - expressing that something appears to be the case. The speaker is expressing that based on the information available, it appears that he had fallen off the roof.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=seem%2:39:00:: | definition=give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | synonyms=look, appear | examples=She seems to be sleeping; This appears to be a very difficult problem
2. sense_key=seem%2:39:01:: | definition=seem to be true, probable, or apparent | synonyms=appear | examples=It seems that he is very gifted; It appears that the weather in California is very bad
3. sense_key=seem%2:42:00:: | definition=appear to exist | examples=There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now
4. sense_key=seem%2:39:02:: | definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone; I can't seem to learn these Chinese characters

The construction "it seemed" with a clausal complement ("he had fallen off the roof") matches sense 2, which has the example "It seems that he is very gifted" and "It appears that the weather in California is very bad." This is the "it-seems-that" construction, which expresses that something appears to be true or probable.

Sense 1 is more about giving a certain impression or outward aspect (like "seems to be sleeping").
Sense 3 is about existence.
Sense 4 is about something appearing to one's own mind.

The best fit is sense 2, as "it seemed, he had fallen off" is essentially "it seemed that he had fallen" - expressing that this appears to be true based on available evidence.

reasoning_content:
The context says: "The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection."

The verb "fallen" here means he dropped from the roof - he lost his upright position and descended under gravity. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity" - This is about descending in free fall.
23. "lose an upright position suddenly" - This is about losing an upright position, synonyms: fall down.

The context is "he had fallen off the roof." This suggests he lost his upright position (standing) and fell down from the roof.

Sense 1 talks about "descend in free fall" - but this implies free fall, which is more like skydiving or an object falling without resistance.

Sense 23 is about losing an upright position suddenly, which fits "fallen off the roof" - the landlord was likely standing/walking and lost his balance or footing.

Actually, "fallen off the roof" could be interpreted either way. But sense 23 seems more appropriate because it's about losing an upright position (which a person on a roof would have), while sense 1 is more about objects in free fall or descending without support.

Hmm, but actually "fell off the roof" - he was on the roof, then he fell. This is more about losing his footing/position and going down. Sense 23 "lose an upright position suddenly" with examples like "The vase fell over" fits this well.

Wait, let me reconsider. "Fall off the roof" - the person was on top of the roof and fell. This could be sense 1 (descend in free fall under gravity) since once he was off the roof, he would be in free fall.

But the more natural interpretation is sense 23 - losing an upright position. The person was on the roof, lost his balance, and fell. This is exactly what sense 23 describes.

Actually, I think sense 1 might be better because falling off a roof involves descending through the air under gravity, which is the definition of "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity." But sense 23 is specifically about losing an upright position.

Looking at sense 1's examples: "The branch fell from the tree; The unfortunate hiker fell into a crevasse" - these are about descending, with the hiker example being a person falling.

Sense 23's examples: "The vase fell over and the water spilled onto the table; Her hair fell across her forehead" - these are about losing an upright position.

For a person falling off a roof, sense 1 seems more appropriate because it's about descending through the air under gravity. The person was on the roof and then fell down, which involves descending under gravity.

Hmm, but sense 1 specifically says "free fall" which has a specific meaning. "Free fall" typically means falling without any support or resistance, like in a vacuum or before a parachute opens.

Let me look again at the context. "He had fallen off the roof" - this is describing an accident where someone fell from a roof. This is most naturally understood as losing his balance/position and going down.

Actually, I think sense 1 is the best fit. "Descend in free fall under the influence of gravity" - when you fall off a roof, you descend under the influence of gravity, and while you might not technically be in "free fall" (since there's air resistance), the WordNet sense is using "free fall" loosely to mean falling through the air.

Or sense 23 "lose an upright position suddenly" - this is about suddenly going from upright to not upright. A person on a roof who falls off is losing their upright position.

I think both could work, but sense 1 is more specifically about the action of falling from a height, which matches "fallen off the roof" better. The examples include "The unfortunate hiker fell into a crevasse" which is very similar to falling off a roof.

Let me go with sense 1.

Wait, actually let me reconsider one more time. "Fall off the roof" - the key phrase is "off the roof." The person was on the roof and came off it. This is about losing their position on the roof, which is more about losing an upright position (sense 23) than free fall (sense 1).

But sense 1's example "The unfortunate hiker fell into a crevasse" is very similar - the hiker was on a path and fell into a crevasse, coming off the surface they were on.

I think sense 1 is the best match because it specifically describes falling from a height under gravity, which is exactly what's happening when someone falls off a roof. The person descends through the air under the influence of gravity.

Final answer: sense 1.

Actually, I want to reconsider once more. Let me look at the definitions again:

Sense 1: "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity" - This is about moving downward under gravity.
Sense 23: "lose an upright position suddenly" - This is about going from standing to not standing.

For "he had fallen off the roof," the person was on the roof (upright or moving) and then fell. This involves both losing their position on the roof AND descending under gravity. But the primary action is the descent under gravity, which is sense 1.

I'll go with sense 1.

Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some <t>obscure</t> errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone.

The target word is "obscure" in the context: "he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection."

Let me analyze the context. The landlord fell off the roof while on some "obscure" errand or inspection. This means the errand or inspection was unclear, not well-defined, or mysterious - we don't know what he was doing up there.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "not clearly understood or expressed" - vague, unclear
2. "marked by difficulty of style or expression" - dark, difficult style
3. "difficult to find" - hidden
4. "not famous or acclaimed" - unknown
5. "not drawing attention" - inconspicuous
6. "remote and separate physically or socially" - isolated

The context suggests the errand was unclear or mysterious - we don't know what the purpose was. This fits sense 1 (vague, not clearly understood). The errand itself is unclear/mysterious in nature.

Sense 3 (hidden) could also work - the errand could be hidden/secret. But "obscure errand" more naturally means an errand whose purpose is unclear or vague, not necessarily hidden.

Sense 1 seems best - the errand is vague, not clearly understood.

Context:
Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly. His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody <t>witnessed</t> the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks.

reasoning_content:
The context describes someone falling off a roof and nobody witnessing the fall. "Nobody witnessed the fall" means nobody saw it happen, nobody was present to observe the event.

Sense 1: "be a witness to" - this is about being a witness to something, typically an event/accident. Example: "She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court."

Sense 2: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - synonyms are "find, see." Example: "We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school."

Both senses involve seeing/perceiving. But the key distinction is:

Sense 1 is specifically about being a witness to an event (like an accident, crime, etc.) - it's a more formal/legal sense of witnessing.

Sense 2 is more general perceiving/seeing.

In this context, "Nobody witnessed the fall" - someone falling off a roof is more like an accident/event. The word "witnessed" here carries the meaning of "be a witness to" the fall - someone who was there to see it. This is sense 1.

The synonym for sense 1 is more about being a witness (like in legal/official contexts or being present at an event), while sense 2 is more about perceiving in general.

Given the context of an accident (falling off a roof, body smashing on pavement), "witnessed" fits sense 1 better - "be a witness to" the fall/accident.
