reasoning_content:
The target word "steady" appears in the phrase "two hours of steady drinking." This describes drinking that has been going on continuously/regularly for two hours.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" - examples: "a steady beat; a steady job" - this is about consistency
2. "not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall" - about financial stability
3. "securely in position; not shaky" - about physical position
4. "marked by firm determination or resolution" - about determination
5. "relating to a person who does something regularly" - synonyms: regular; examples: "a regular customer; a steady drinker" - this directly mentions "a steady drinker"!
6. "not easily excited or upset" - about temperament

Sense 5 is interesting because it specifically uses "a steady drinker" as an example. But the context here is "two hours of steady drinking" - this is more about the drinking being continuous/regular over a period of time, not necessarily about a person who drinks regularly as a habit.

Hmm, let me reconsider. "Two hours of steady drinking" could mean:
- Drinking that was continuous/uninterrupted for two hours (sense 1 - consistent, unvarying)
- Drinking done regularly/frequently (sense 5)

Actually, "steady drinking" in this context means drinking that continued without stopping for two hours - it's describing the rate/continuity of the drinking. This aligns more with sense 1 (not subject to change or variation) - the drinking was steady, meaning it continued at a consistent pace.

However, sense 5's example is "a steady drinker" which is exactly the pattern here - "steady drinking" is a nominalized form of "steady drinker." A "steady drinker" in sense 5 means someone who drinks regularly/frequently.

But wait - the context says "after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him." This suggests the drinking happened over a two-hour period at some point in the past, not that the person is a regular/habitual drinker. The "steady" here describes the continuity of the drinking during those two hours.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly" - this is about habitual action. "Two hours of steady drinking" doesn't necessarily imply habitual drinking; it could just mean continuous drinking for two hours on one occasion.

Sense 1 with "a steady beat" suggests consistency/continuity, which fits "two hours of steady drinking" - meaning the drinking was consistent/continuous over those two hours.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because:
- "Two hours of steady drinking" describes drinking that was continuous/uninterrupted
- The drinking caused the memory to be "blurred" - suggesting sustained, consistent drinking
- Sense 1's definition "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" fits the idea of drinking that continued at a consistent rate

Wait, but "a steady drinker" in sense 5 is a very direct match for the pattern. Let me think again...

"A steady drinker" = someone who drinks regularly/frequently (a habit)
"Steady drinking" = could be either habitual drinking OR continuous drinking

The context is: "It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him."

This is describing one specific occasion - "the occasion" - where he drank for two hours. So "steady" here is describing the nature of the drinking during that occasion - it was continuous/sustained. This fits sense 1 better than sense 5.

But sense 5's example "a steady drinker" is literally the morphological pattern here (steady + gerund vs. steady + agent noun).

Hmm, this is tricky. Let me look at the definitions again:
- Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" - a steady beat (consistent rhythm)
- Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly" - a regular customer; a steady drinker

"Steady drinking" in "two hours of steady drinking" - if we interpret this as the drinking being steady (consistent, unvarying), it's sense 1. If we interpret "steady" as modifying the activity to mean "regular/frequent," it's sense 5.

I think in this context, "steady drinking" means drinking that was continuous and unvarying over the two hours - the rate of drinking was steady. This is sense 1.

Actually, I want to reconsider once more. "A steady drinker" in sense 5 typically means someone who drinks regularly (a habit), not someone who drinks continuously. So "steady drinking" in the pattern of sense 5 would mean "regular/frequent drinking (as a habit)."

But "two hours of steady drinking" is describing a specific episode, not a habit. So sense 1 fits better.

I'll go with sense 1.

Wait, I want to be more careful. Let me re-read sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior." The example "a steady beat" shows that "steady" can describe something that maintains the same pattern/behavior over time. "Steady drinking" in this context could similarly mean drinking that maintained the same pattern (continuous) over the two hours.

Yes, sense 1 is the best fit.

Actually, let me reconsider one more time. The phrase "two hours of steady drinking" - in everyday English, this would mean he drank continuously/constantly for two hours. The "steady" emphasizes the continuous, unvarying nature of the drinking.

Sense 1: not subject to change or variation - this fits "continuous, unvarying drinking"
Sense 5: relating to a person who does something regularly - this would fit if the sentence was "He was a steady drinker" (meaning he drank regularly as a habit)

The context is about one specific occasion of drinking for two hours, so sense 1 is more appropriate.

Final answer: sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes the stranger beginning to cross the street. "Started to cross the street" means he began crossing the street. This is about taking the first step in carrying out an action (crossing the street).

Let me look at the candidates:

1. sense_key=start%2:30:00:: | definition=take the first step or steps in carrying out an action | synonyms=get down, begin, get, start out, set about, set out | examples=We began working at dawn; Who will start?

This matches well - "started to cross the street" = took the first step in crossing the street. The construction "started to [verb]" fits this sense perfectly.

2. sense_key=start%2:30:01:: | definition=set in motion, cause to start - This would be more like someone starting a war or starting hostilities, where the subject causes something to start. Not the best fit because the stranger is the one starting the action himself.

3. depart - No, not about leaving.

4. have a beginning - This is more for inanimate things having a starting point.

5. bring into being - No, not creating something.

6. get off the ground - More about projects/companies.

7. startle/jump - No, the man is not startled.

8. start up a machine - No.

9. begin or set in motion - Could work but less specific.

10. begin work in a job - No.

11. play in starting lineup - No.

12. have a beginning characterized - No.

13. begin an event limited by direct object - Not quite.

14. bulge outward - No.

Sense 1 is the best match: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - the stranger took the first step in crossing the street.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a stranger crossing the street "against the light" - this is a traffic light context. The stranger is crossing against the traffic signal. Looking at the candidate senses, none explicitly mention "traffic light" as such, but sense 14 (light%1:16:00::) refers to "a visual warning signal" with examples like "they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner." A traffic light is a visual warning/signal device. This seems like the best fit for the traffic light sense.

Sense 1 is about electromagnetic radiation, sense 2 is about illumination devices, sense 14 is about visual warning signals. A traffic light is most accurately a visual signal/warning.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a car horn blaring at an intersection. The sentence says "a horn blared furiously" in the context of a moving van roaring through an intersection. This is clearly an automobile horn making a warning noise.

Looking at the candidates:
- Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning" - this is about the noise itself
- Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise" - this is about the device

The sentence says "a horn blared furiously" - "blared" suggests the noise being made, but "a horn" refers to the device. However, sense 3 is about the noise, while sense 11 is about the device.

Actually, looking more carefully: "a horn blared furiously" - the subject is "horn" and the verb is "blared." The horn is the device that produces the blaring sound. So sense 11 (the device) seems more appropriate.

But sense 3 says "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning" - this could also fit since the horn is producing the noise.

Hmm, in WordNet, when we say "a horn blared," the horn is typically the device. Sense 11 is "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise" with synonyms "automobile horn, car horn, motor horn, hooter."

Sense 3 is "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning" - this is more abstract, referring to the noise itself.

In the context "a horn blared furiously," the horn is the thing doing the blaring, which is the device. So sense 11 seems best.

Wait, let me reconsider. Sense 3 says "a noise made by the driver" - this is the noise. Sense 11 says "a device on an automobile" - this is the device.

"A horn blared" - the horn is the device that blares. So sense 11.

Actually, I need to think about this more carefully. In common usage, "the horn blared" treats the horn as the device. Sense 11 is the device. Sense 3 is the noise.

I'll go with sense 11.

reasoning_content: The context describes a horn blaring furiously. The horns of taxis blaring is given as an example for sense 2 (make a loud noise, synonyms: honk, beep, claxon, toot). The word "horn" combined with "blared" fits perfectly with sense 2, which includes the example "The horns of the taxis blared." Sense 1 is about making a strident sound, like blasting into a microphone, which is less appropriate for a car horn.

No, the man was not drunk He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger. But, of course, he remembered now.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a man who was about to be struck by a huge moving van while crossing the street. The sentence says "the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

This refers to the man being physically struck/collided with by the van. Let me look at the candidate senses:

2. sense_key=hit%2:35:01:: | definition=hit against; come into sudden contact with | synonyms=strike, impinge on, run into, collide with | examples=The car hit a tree; He struck the table with his elbow

This sense is about coming into sudden contact with something, which fits the scenario of the van hitting the man. The van would collide with the man. This is about the passive sense of being hit/collided with by something moving.

3. sense_key=hit%2:35:00:: | definition=deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument | examples=He hit her hard in the face

This is about actively dealing a blow, which doesn't fit as well since the man isn't being struck with a hand or instrument - he's about to be hit by a van.

5. sense_key=hit%2:35:05:: | definition=affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely | synonyms=strike | examples=We were hit by really bad weather; He was stricken with cancer when he was still a teenager

This is more metaphorical - about being affected by something like weather or disease. Not quite right for a physical collision.

The best fit is sense 2 - "hit against; come into sudden contact with" - because the van is about to come into sudden contact with the man. The example "The car hit a tree" is very parallel to "the van would have hit the man."

reasoning_content:
The context describes Phil shouting a warning to a stranger who was about to be hit by a van. "Phil hadn't called out to him" - this means Phil shouted/exclaimed to get the stranger's attention and warn him.

Sense 1: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" - synonyms: exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, shout. This fits well - Phil shouted out a warning.

Sense 2: "call out loudly, as of names or numbers" - This seems more like calling roll or announcing names/numbers. Not a good fit.

Sense 3: "challenge to a duel" - Not a fit at all.

The context says "His shout had been involuntary" - this aligns with sense 1, which involves shouting/exclaiming.

content: {"sense_index": 2}{"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The context says "Phil hadn't called out to him a <second> before." This means "a moment before" or "a very short time before." Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. 1/60 of a minute (a specific unit of time) - sec, s
2. an indefinitely short time - moment, mo, minute, bit - "wait just a moment"
3. fielding position in baseball
4. a particular point in time - moment, minute, instant
5. following the first in an ordering or series
6. a 60th part of a minute of arc
7. attendant in a duel or boxing match
8. a speech seconding a motion
9. second gear
10. merchandise with imperfections

The phrase "a second before" means "a moment before" - an indefinitely short time. Sense 2 fits best with "an indefinitely short time" and synonyms like "moment, mo, minute, bit."

Sense 1 is about a specific unit of time (1/60 of a minute), but "a second before" here is used more loosely to mean "a very short time before," not exactly one second.

Sense 4 is "a particular point in time" which is similar but slightly different. Sense 2 is more about duration (an indefinitely short time), which fits "a second before" better - meaning just a moment before.

The best match is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "done" which is a form of "do". The context is: "His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have <t>done</t> without thinking, on the spur of the moment."

Here, "done" means "performed" or "carried out" an action. The action is calling out to the stranger. This is about performing/carrying out an action.

Let me look at the candidates:

1. sense_key=do%2:41:01:: | definition=engage in | synonyms=make
2. sense_key=do%2:36:01:: | definition=carry out or perform an action | synonyms=perform, execute
3. sense_key=do%2:41:04:: | definition=get (something) done | synonyms=perform
5. sense_key=do%2:36:02:: | definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, make
9. sense_key=do%2:29:09:: | definition=behave in a certain manner; show a certain behavior; conduct or comport oneself | synonyms=act, behave

The best fit is sense 2: "carry out or perform an action". The sentence says "something anybody might have done" - referring to the action of calling out. This is a straightforward perform/execute sense.

Sense 1 "engage in" is also possible but sense 2 is more specific to carrying out an action which fits "done" in the context of performing the act of shouting.

Sense 3 "get (something) done" doesn't fit because there's no object being completed by someone else.

Sense 5 "give rise to; cause to happen" doesn't fit well because the shout didn't cause something to happen (it prevented something).

Sense 9 "behave in a certain manner" doesn't fit because the action is specific (calling out), not general behavior.

So sense_index 2 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a scenario where a stranger is crossing the street and would have been hit by a huge moving van. The word "hit" here refers to the van striking/colliding with the man. This is about physical collision between two objects (the van and the person).

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 2: "hit against; come into sudden contact with" - synonyms include strike, impinge on, run into, collide with. Examples: "The car hit a tree"
- Sense 3: "deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument" - this is about deliberate striking with hand or instrument
- Sense 5: "affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely" - more about abstract affliction

The context clearly describes a vehicle colliding with a person. Sense 2 fits best because it's about coming into sudden contact with, colliding with. The example "The car hit a tree" is very similar to the van hitting the man.

Sense 3 is about deliberate blows with hand or instrument, which doesn't fit a vehicle collision.

Sense 2 is the best match.

content: {"sense_index": 1}{"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
The context: "Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

Here, "regretted" means he felt sorry/remorseful that he had shouted a warning to the stranger, because the consequence was that the angry driver came back toward them. This is feeling remorse/sorry about his action. This matches sense 1: "feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about" (synonyms: repent, rue).

Sense 2 is about feeling sad about loss/absence - not applicable.
Sense 3 is about declining formally/politely - not applicable.
Sense 4 is about expressing regret - not applicable.

So the answer is sense 1.
