reasoning_content:
The context is: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done. But if he was the real thing, he could do something about Lolly."

The phrase "no harm was done" is an idiomatic expression meaning "no damage was done" or "nothing bad happened." This refers to the act of causing damage or hurt, not specifically physical injury to the body.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. Physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident - this is about physical injury specifically
2. The occurrence of a change for the worse - this is more about a state/condition
3. The act of damaging something or someone - this is about the act of causing damage

"No harm was done" - here "harm" refers to damage being done/not done. The context is about whether a professional killer would cause harm. This is about the act of damaging or hurting someone.

Sense 2 is "the occurrence of a change for the worse" - this could fit as "no change for the worse occurred"
Sense 3 is "the act of damaging something or someone" - this fits as "no act of damaging was done"

In the idiom "no harm was done," harm typically refers to damage or hurt in general. Looking at the synonyms:
- Sense 2: damage, impairment
- Sense 3: damage, hurt, scathe

"no harm was done" = "no damage was done" = "no hurt was done" - both senses could work, but sense 3 includes "hurt" as a synonym which matches the idiom well.

Actually, let me think more carefully. Sense 2 is about "occurrence of a change for the worse" which is a state/result. Sense 3 is about "the act of damaging" which is the action.

"No harm was done" - this is saying the act of harming didn't occur. So it's about the act not happening. Sense 3 seems more appropriate as it directly refers to the act.

But wait, in the context, the harm being discussed is potential harm that could be done to "Lolly" - this could be physical harm (killing) or general harm. The phrase "do something about Lolly" from a professional killer suggests lethal action, so physical harm is implied.

However, the idiom "no harm was done" is general and doesn't necessarily specify physical.

Between sense 1 (physical damage to body) and sense 3 (act of damaging), sense 3 is more general and fits the idiom better. Sense 1 is too specific to physical injury.

I'll go with sense 3 - "the act of damaging something or someone" - because "no harm was done" refers to no act of damaging occurring, and this is the most general sense of harm as an action.

The target word is "done" in the context: "If he was just a nut, no harm was done."

This is the past participle of "do" used in the sense of "no harm was caused/done." This matches sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally" with synonyms "cause, make" and examples "cause a commotion; make a stir."

The context is: "But if he was the real thing, he could <t>do</t> something about Lolly."

The sentence means that this person could take action or perform something regarding Lolly. The phrase "do something about" is a common collocation meaning to take action, to perform, to carry out.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=do%2:41:01:: | definition=engage in | synonyms=make | examples=make love, not war; make an effort

13. sense_key=do%2:38:00:: | definition=travel or traverse (a distance) | examples=This car does 150 miles per hour; We did 6 miles on our hike every day

The phrase "do something" typically means to perform an action. Sense 2 (do%2:36:01::) "carry out or perform an action" with synonyms "perform, execute" seems most appropriate.

Let me also consider sense 1 "engage in" - this is more about being involved in something.
Sense 2 "carry out or perform an action" - this fits "do something about" which is about taking action.

Sense 2 seems best because "do something" is a general action verb, meaning to perform/execute some action. The example "John did the painting" is similar to "he could do something about Lolly."

Actually, looking more carefully at the senses and their lexicographer file numbers:
- 2:36:01:: has to do with performing actions (verb.social or similar)
- 2:41:01:: is about engaging in

"do something about" is a common idiom meaning to take action. This aligns with "carry out or perform an action" (sense 2).

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He felt very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot."

Here, "felt" is used to describe an emotional/mental state - he felt cunning and proud. This matches sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" (synonym: experience, examples: "She felt resentful; He felt regret").

Sense 4 is similar: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" - but the examples focus more on general well-being ("My cold is gone--I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike").

Sense 1 seems more specific to undergoing a particular emotional sensation like "cunning" and "proud."

Sense 5 is "have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude" - examples: "She felt small and insignificant; You make me feel naked." This could also fit since he's feeling proud of himself in reaction to playing on the other man's soft spot. However, sense 1 is more directly about the emotional state itself.

Between sense 1 and sense 5: The context says "He felt very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot." The feelings (cunning, proud) are in reaction to his own actions. Sense 5 says "in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude" - here it's in reaction to his own cunning behavior. Sense 1 is more general about undergoing an emotional sensation.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because it directly captures the emotional states "cunning" and "proud" that he's experiencing.

reasoning_content:
The target word "cunning" in the context describes a man who feels clever and proud of himself for manipulating another person's "soft spot" (weakness). He is playing on the man's emotions to get information or advantage about "Lolly."

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. "attractive especially by means of smallness or prettiness or quaintness" - This is about cuteness/attractiveness, not relevant here.

2. "marked by skill in deception" - synonyms: crafty, dodgy, foxy, guileful, knavish, slick - This fits the context of manipulating someone's soft spot, playing on them, which is deceptive skill.

3. "showing inventiveness and skill" - synonyms: clever, ingenious - This is more about general cleverness without the deceptive element.

The context clearly involves deception - "he played on the other man's soft spot." The man is manipulating someone, which is deceptive behavior. This points to sense 2.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "No offense intended", he said gently. This is a common idiomatic expression meaning "I don't mean to offend you" or "please don't be offended." It's about not wanting to hurt someone's feelings or show disrespect.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=offense%1:04:02:: | definition=a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings or others

"No offense intended" is an idiomatic phrase where "offense" refers to the act of offending someone - i.e., wounding their feelings or being discourteous. This matches sense 1: "a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings of others."

Sense 2 is about the feeling of being offended (the emotional response), not the act of causing offense.

Sense 1 is the best match.

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The phrase "No offense intended" is a common expression meaning "I don't mean any offense" or "I don't intend to offend." This is about having something in mind as a purpose - specifically, the purpose of causing offense. The speaker is saying they didn't mean to cause offense.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "have in mind as a purpose" - synonyms: mean, think - examples: "I mean no harm; I only meant to help you"
2. "design or destine" - synonyms: destine, designate, specify
3. "mean or intend to express or convey" - synonyms: mean
4. "denote or connote" - synonyms: mean, signify, stand for

Sense 1 fits best because "No offense intended" parallels "I mean no harm" - it's about not having the purpose/intention to cause offense. The speaker is clarifying their purpose/intent.

Sense 3 is about expressing or conveying something, which is slightly different - it's more about communication.

Sense 1 is the best match.

The target word is "said" in the context: "No offense intended", he said gently. "But it's just that -- well, you know.

This is a straightforward use of "said" as the past tense of "say" meaning to express in words/utter. The person is uttering the words "No offense intended."

Looking at the candidates:
1. express in words - state, tell - this fits well
8. utter aloud - "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office" - this also fits very well

Both 1 and 8 are strong candidates. The example for sense 8 is "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office" which is very similar to "No offense intended", he said. However, sense 1 is more general ("express in words") while sense 8 is specifically "utter aloud."

The context here is someone uttering dialogue directly, so "utter aloud" (sense 8) seems most precise. But sense 1 is also very applicable.

Let me think more carefully. Sense 1: "express in words" with synonyms state, tell. Sense 8: "utter aloud" with example about saying hello.

The example in sense 8 is very close to our context - someone saying a phrase. The definition "utter aloud" is very fitting for spoken dialogue being reported.

I think sense 8 is the best match here because the context is specifically about spoken words being uttered aloud.

reasoning_content:
The context says: "The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I thought it was a coincidence."

Here, "suspect" is used to mean that the police had no suspicion about something - they didn't think anything was wrong or notice anything suspicious. This means "regard with suspicion; have no faith or confidence in" - i.e., they didn't suspect anything was amiss.

Sense 2: "regard as untrustworthy; regard with suspicion; have no faith or confidence in" - This fits because the cops didn't regard the situation with suspicion.

Sense 3: "hold in suspicion; believe to be guilty" - This is more specific to believing someone is guilty of something. In this context, the cops didn't suspect "a thing" - meaning they didn't have any suspicion at all about what was happening. This is more about general suspicion/awareness rather than specifically believing someone is guilty.

Sense 1: "imagine to be the case or true or probable" - This doesn't quite fit because it's not about imagining or surmising something to be true.

The phrase "didn't suspect a thing" means "didn't notice anything suspicious" or "had no suspicion." This aligns with sense 2: "regard with suspicion; have no faith or confidence in."

Actually, let me reconsider. "Suspect" when used as a verb with "a thing" - "didn't suspect a thing" - means the cops didn't have any inkling or suspicion. The sense here is about not having suspicion/awareness that something was going on.

Sense 2 says "regard as untrustworthy; regard with suspicion" - this is about regarding someone/something with suspicion.

Sense 3 says "hold in suspicion; believe to be guilty" - this is about believing someone is guilty.

In the context, the cops didn't suspect a thing - meaning they didn't hold the situation in suspicion. This is more general - they didn't suspect anything at all.

Hmm, but neither sense perfectly captures "not suspecting anything." Let me look at this more carefully.

"Didn't suspect a thing" - this means they didn't have any suspicion. The sense of suspect here is "to have suspicion." Sense 2 "regard with suspicion" and sense 3 "hold in suspicion; believe to be guilty" both involve suspicion.

Sense 3 is more specific - it's about believing someone is guilty of a specific wrongdoing. The cops in this case didn't suspect something was happening at all - they didn't believe anyone was guilty. This could fit sense 3.

Sense 2 is more general - regarding with suspicion. "Didn't suspect a thing" is about not having any suspicion, which aligns with sense 2's broader meaning.

Actually, I think sense 3 is better here because "suspect" in the context of police is often about suspecting someone of a crime. "The cops didn't suspect a thing" means the cops didn't suspect any crime was being committed or that anyone was guilty. This is sense 3.

But sense 2 also works - the cops didn't regard the situation with suspicion.

I think sense 3 is the better fit because the context is about police and crime ("the real thing," "cops," "coincidence"). The cops didn't suspect that a crime was happening or that someone was guilty. This is the "hold in suspicion; believe to be guilty" sense.

I'll go with sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I thought it was a coincidence."

The phrase "didn't suspect a thing" means the cops didn't suspect anything at all. This is the common idiom where "a thing" refers to any entity or matter - essentially meaning "anything."

Looking at the candidate senses:
- sense 8: "an entity that is not named specifically" with example "I couldn't tell what the thing was" - this seems close
- sense 6: "a vaguely specified concern" with synonyms matter, affair - also possible

The phrase "didn't suspect a thing" uses "thing" in the sense of "any entity/anything." Sense 8 fits well - an unspecified entity. The example "I couldn't tell what the thing was" shows the same kind of vague reference to some unspecified thing.

Sense 6 (matter, affair) could also work, as "didn't suspect a thing" could mean "didn't suspect any matter/affair." But sense 8 with the meaning of an unspecified entity seems more fitting for the idiom "not a thing" meaning "nothing at all."

Actually, let me reconsider. "Didn't suspect a thing" - here "thing" is used in a very general sense meaning "anything." The sense "an entity that is not named specifically" (sense 8) captures this well, as it's referring to some unspecified entity or event that the cops might have suspected.

I'll go with sense 8.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I thought it was a coincidence."

Here, "thought" is the past tense of "think" and means "believed" or "was of the opinion that." The speaker is expressing their past belief/opinion that something was a coincidence.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "judge or regard; look upon; judge" - synonyms: believe, consider, conceive
2. "expect, believe, or suppose" - synonyms: opine, suppose, imagine, reckon, guess
3. "use or exercise the mind" - about reasoning/cogitation
4. "recall knowledge from memory" - about remembering
5. "imagine or visualize"
6. "focus one's attention on a certain state"
7. "have in mind as a purpose" - intend, mean
8. "decide by pondering"
9. "ponder; reflect on"
10. "dispose the mind in a certain way"
11. "have or formulate in the mind"
12. "be capable of conscious thought"
13. "bring into a given condition by mental preoccupation"

The context "I thought it was a coincidence" means "I believed it was a coincidence." Both sense 1 and sense 2 involve believing.

Sense 1: "judge or regard; look upon; judge" - This is more about forming a judgment about something. The example "I think he is very smart" fits this pattern.

Sense 2: "expect, believe, or suppose" - This is about having an expectation or belief. The example "I thought to find her in a bad state" fits this pattern.

"I thought it was a coincidence" is expressing a belief/opinion about what something was. This is a belief that something was the case - "I believed it was a coincidence."

Sense 2 seems to fit better because it's about believing/supposing something to be the case. The phrase "I thought it was X" typically means "I believed it was X."

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 with example "I think he is very smart" - this is about judging someone's qualities
- Sense 2 with example "I imagine she earned a lot of money" - this is about believing/supposing

"I thought it was a coincidence" - this is about having a belief about the nature of something. This fits sense 2 well: "expect, believe, or suppose."

I'll go with sense 2.

The context is: "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked.

The word "say" here is used in the sense of asserting or stating something - "if you say you managed it" means "if you state/assert that you managed it." This is about expressing something in words, stating something.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=say%2:32:00:: | definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell
2. sense_key=say%2:32:01:: | definition=report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver
9. sense_key=say%2:32:13:: | definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare

Sense 1 is "express in words" with synonyms state, tell - this is the general sense of stating something.
Sense 2 is "report or maintain" with synonyms allege, aver - this is more about making an assertion, possibly in a formal/legal sense.
Sense 9 is "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - this is about stating one's opinion.

The context is "if you say you managed it" - this is a conditional about someone claiming/asserting that they did something. The stranger is being "hooked" - meaning he's being led on, believing the claim.

Sense 1 (express in words) seems most general and appropriate. "If you say you managed it" = "if you express in words that you managed it" = "if you state that you managed it."

Sense 9 could also work - "state as one's opinion or judgement" - the stranger is claiming he managed it, which is a declaration.

Between sense 1 and sense 9, sense 1 is more general and the example "He said that he wanted to marry her" is very similar to "if you say you managed it." The structure "say [that clause]" matches sense 1's example.

Sense 2 is more about alleging in a potentially disputable way, which could work too, but sense 1 is more neutral and fits better.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked."

The phrase "if you say you managed it" means "if you tell/claim that you managed it." The person is saying/telling/asserting that they managed something.

Looking at the candidates:
1. express in words - "He said that he wanted to marry her" - this is about stating/telling
2. report or maintain - "He alleged that he was the victim" - this is about claiming/asserting
3. express a supposition - "Let us say that he did not tell the truth" - hypothetical
5. give instructions - "I said to him to go home" - commanding
13. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare - "I say let's forget this whole business"

The sentence "if you say you managed it" - here "say" is being used in the sense of "state" or "tell" - expressing in words what one claims. This could be sense 1 (express in words) or sense 2 (report or maintain/claim).

Sense 1: "express in words" with examples "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you" - this is the basic sense of stating/saying something.

Sense 2: "report or maintain" with examples "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" - this is more about claiming/alleging.

The phrase "if you say you managed it" is conditional - "if you tell me/claim that you managed it." This is a straightforward statement/expression. I think sense 1 is the best fit - it's expressing in words (telling) that one managed something.

Actually, let me reconsider. "If you say you managed it" is similar to "if you claim/assert you managed it" - it could be sense 2 (allege/aver). But the most common sense of "say" in this construction is just "state" or "tell" - which is sense 1.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about someone suspecting that a stranger "managed" something - likely meaning they carried out or pulled off something (like a crime or plan). The phrase "if you say you managed it" suggests achieving a goal, possibly by devious means.

Looking at the senses:
1. "be successful; achieve a goal" - pull off, carry off
5. "achieve something by means of trickery or devious methods" - wangle, finagle

The context involves cops not suspecting something, suggesting something was done covertly or deceptively. Sense 5 (trickery/devious methods) seems to fit well here since the speaker is implying the stranger accomplished something sneaky.

But sense 1 also fits "managed it" = "pulled it off" = achieved a goal.

Given the narrative context with cops, crime, and a stranger being "hooked" (implying entrapment or a con), sense 5 about trickery/devious methods seems most appropriate. The speaker is essentially saying "if you say you pulled it off [by trickery]."

Actually, re-reading: "The cops didn't suspect a thing... But if you say you managed it" - this is someone realizing the stranger actually committed something (likely a crime) successfully. The devious/trickery sense (5) fits because the context implies the stranger tricked or deceived people.

I'll go with sense 5.

The context describes a stranger who is "hooked" and whose "eyes burned feverishly" - this is someone the narrator didn't know, a person unfamiliar. Sense 1 is "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" (alien, unknown), and Sense 2 is "an individual that one is not acquainted with."

The narrator says "I didn't know you, Pete" - emphasizing unfamiliarity. The stranger is an individual not acquainted with the narrator. Sense 2 fits better as it directly captures the "not acquainted" meaning, which matches "I didn't know you."

Sense 1 is more about not belonging in an environment, like an alien or outsider in a place. Sense 2 is about personal unfamiliarity with someone.

The context emphasizes the personal lack of acquaintance, so sense 2 is the better fit.

The target word is "hooked" in the context: "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly."

This is a figurative usage. The stranger is captivated, captivated by what was being said. This is the sense meaning "to cause someone to become dependent" or more broadly "enthralled, captivated."

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. hook%2:35:00:: | definition=fasten with a hook
2. hook%2:40:02:: | definition=rip off; ask an unreasonable price
3. hook%2:36:00:: | definition=make a piece of needlework by interlocking and looping thread with a hooked needle
4. hook%2:35:03:: | definition=hit a ball and put a spin on it so that it travels to the left
5. hook%2:40:01:: | definition=take by theft
6. hook%2:40:00:: | definition=make off with belongings of others
7. hook%2:35:02:: | definition=hit with a hook
8. hook%2:35:01:: | definition=catch with a hook
9. hook%2:34:00:: | definition=to cause (someone or oneself) to become dependent (on something, especially a narcotic drug) | synonyms=addict
10. hook%2:33:00:: | definition=secure with the foot
11. hook%2:32:09:: | definition=entice and trap | synonyms=snare | examples=The car salesman had snared three potential customers
12. hook%2:32:00:: | definition=approach with an offer of sexual favors

The context is about someone being captivated/enthralled by what they're hearing. The stranger is "hooked" meaning he's been caught, trapped, or captivated by the conversation.

Sense 9 is about becoming dependent (especially on drugs), which is related but specifically about addiction.
Sense 11 is "entice and trap" - "snare" - which fits better with being captivated/entrapped figuratively.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The stranger was hooked" - his eyes burned feverishly. This suggests intense interest, captivation.

In common usage, "hooked" means captivated or addicted. The WordNet sense 9 says "to cause (someone or oneself) to become dependent (on something, especially a narcotic drug)" with synonym "addict". The "especially a narcotic drug" suggests this is specifically about addiction.

Sense 11 "entice and trap" with synonym "snare" and example "The car salesman had snared three potential customers" - this fits the context of being captivated/entrapped by something.

Hmm, but the more common modern usage of "hooked" to mean captivated (not just addicted) might be covered by sense 9 since it says "to cause (someone or oneself) to become dependent" - dependency can be figurative too.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 9 with "addict" as synonym is the most likely match for the figurative "hooked" meaning. Being "hooked" in modern English means being captivated, obsessed, or addicted. The feverish eyes suggest intense captivation.

Between 9 and 11: Sense 11 is "entice and trap" which is more about the active trapping, while sense 9 is about becoming dependent. "The stranger was hooked" - passive construction. The stranger has become dependent on the conversation/story.

I think sense 9 is the best fit, as it covers the figurative sense of being "hooked" on something - captivated, addicted, dependent.

reasoning_content:
The context: "His eyes burned feverishly." This describes eyes that are shining intensely, glowing with emotion/excitement. The synonyms for sense 2 include "glow" and the examples mention candles burning, coals glowing. This matches the figurative use of eyes burning with intensity/emotion.

However, let me also consider sense 10: "feel hot or painful" - "My eyes are burning." This could also fit since the stranger is excited and his eyes might feel hot.

But "burned feverishly" in the context of eyes most likely means they were shining intensely, glowing with feverish excitement. Sense 2 (shine intensely, as if with heat) fits well here, as eyes "burning" metaphorically suggests a glowing, intense look.

Actually, "burned feverishly" - the feverishness adds to the intensity. The eyes are gleaming/shining with feverish intensity. Sense 2 seems best.
