Context:
It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having <t>opened</t> his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Phil calling out to warn a stranger about an oncoming truck. The phrase is "he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop." This is an idiomatic expression meaning he regretted having spoken/said something. "Opened his mouth" means to speak.

Looking at the candidate senses, none of them directly capture the idiomatic meaning of "opened his mouth" = "spoke." However, sense 1 (cause to open or to become open) is the most general physical sense. But "opened his mouth" in this context means "spoken" - it's about starting to speak.

Sense 4 is about beginning or setting in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc. This could relate to starting to speak, but the example is about opening a meeting.

Sense 1 is about causing to open - this is the most literal/physical sense. "Opened his mouth" literally means he opened his mouth (to speak).

Actually, thinking about this more carefully - "opened his mouth" is an idiomatic expression meaning "spoke." The most relevant sense would be the one about opening (physically) - sense 1: "cause to open or to become open." This is the physical action of opening the mouth.

But wait - sense 4 mentions "speeches" - "begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc." This could be interpreted as beginning to speak.

Hmm, but the example for sense 4 is "He opened the meeting with a long speech" - this is about formally opening/beginning something, not about the physical act of opening one's mouth to speak.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because "opened his mouth" is literally about the physical action of opening the mouth, which then enabled speech. The idiomatic meaning derives from the physical action.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase "opened his mouth" in this context means "spoke" or "said something." The regret is about having spoken, not about the physical act of opening his mouth.

Looking at the senses again:
- Sense 1: cause to open or to become open (physical)
- Sense 4: begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc.

Sense 4 seems more relevant because it's about beginning speech/recital. "Opened his mouth" = began to speak.

But the example for sense 4 is about opening a meeting, which is more formal. The physical act of opening one's mouth to speak is more like sense 1.

I'll go with sense 1 as it's the most direct physical interpretation of "opened his mouth."

reasoning_content:
The context is about "opening his mouth" in the sense of speaking. The person regretted having spoken (opened his mouth). This is an idiomatic expression meaning to speak.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. mouth%1:08:01:: - oral cavity, the opening through which food is taken and vocalizations emerge
2. mouth%1:08:00:: - the externally visible part of the oral cavity on the face
3. mouth%1:17:01:: - an opening that resembles a mouth (cave, gorge)
4. mouth%1:17:00:: - where a stream issues into a larger body of water
5. mouth%1:18:00:: - a person conceived as a consumer of food
6. mouth%1:18:01:: - a spokesperson
7. mouth%1:10:00:: - an impudent or insolent rejoinder; sass, lip, backtalk
8. mouth%1:08:00::... wait let me recheck

Let me recheck:
1. mouth%1:08:01:: - oral cavity
2. mouth%1:08:00:: - externally visible part of oral cavity
3. mouth%1:17:01:: - opening that resembles a mouth
4. mouth%1:17:00:: - point where stream issues into larger body
5. mouth%1:18:00:: - person as consumer
6. mouth%1:18:01:: - spokesperson/mouthpiece
7. mouth%1:10:00:: - impudent rejoinder, sass, lip
8. mouth%1:06:00:: - opening of a jar or bottle

The phrase "opened his mouth" is an idiomatic way of saying "spoke." This relates to the mouth as the organ of speech.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 1 (oral cavity) is the internal opening where vocalizations emerge - this is about the physical structure
- Sense 2 (externally visible part) is about the lips/face area

The idiom "open one's mouth" means to speak, and this is typically associated with the mouth as the oral cavity (sense 1), which is described as the opening through which vocalizations emerge.

Actually, "open one's mouth" in the sense of speaking could be either sense 1 or sense 2. But sense 1 specifically mentions "vocalizations emerge," which directly relates to speech. The example for sense 1 is "he stuffed his mouth with candy" which is about eating, but the definition includes vocalizations.

Sense 2 is more about the external, visible part (like lipstick).

The expression "open one's mouth" to mean speak - I think this is most naturally associated with sense 1, the oral cavity, since that's where speech is produced.

However, I should also consider sense 7 (sass, lip) - "opened his mouth" could colloquially mean he said something he shouldn't have, which is close to the meaning of "sass" or speaking out of turn. But the context here is more about regret for speaking, not about impudence.

I'll go with sense 1, as the definition explicitly mentions "vocalizations emerge," which directly connects to the speaking sense of "mouth."

The context is: "when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab"

This is about a vehicle coming to a halt/ending its movement. The example for sense 1 is "it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill" which matches perfectly with "came to a stop" in the context.

Sense 1: "the event of something ending" - synonyms: halt - example: "it came to a stop at the bottom of the hill"

This is clearly the best match. The truck coming to a stop means the event of its motion ending.

Target lemma: stranger
Target surface form: stranger
Context:
The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. 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. By then, the <t>stranger</t> was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record.

reasoning_content: The context describes a man who is not known to the narrator. The stranger is someone the narrator (and Phil) don't know - he's an unknown person who nearly gets hit by a truck. The context mentions "the guy" and then "the angry driver" cursing at them, treating the stranger as someone not previously known. The sense "an individual that one is not acquainted with" fits well - the stranger is a person unknown to the narrator/Phil. Sense 1 (alien, unknown) is more about someone who doesn't belong in the environment, which isn't the primary focus here.

reasoning_content:
The target word "old" appears in the phrase "as if he were an old friend." This is a common idiomatic expression meaning a long-time or familiar friend. Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: having lived for a relatively long time - this could fit if "old" modifies "friend" to mean a friend of long standing, but the definition focuses on age of persons specifically.
2. sense 2: of long duration; not new - "old tradition; old house" - this is about things having existed for a long time.
3. sense 3: (used for emphasis) very familiar - "good old boy; same old story" - this is about familiarity.
4. sense 4: skilled through long experience - doesn't fit.
5. sense 5: belonging to some prior time - erstwhile, former - this could work, as in a friend from the past.
6. sense 6: used informally for emphasis - doesn't fit.
7. sense 7: of a very early stage in development - doesn't fit.
8. sense 8: just preceding something else in time or order - previous - doesn't quite fit.

The phrase "old friend" typically means a friend one has known for a long time, or a friend from the past. This is a well-known acquaintance.

Looking at sense 1: "having lived for a relatively long time" - this is specifically about persons and age. An "old friend" is a friend who has been a friend for a long time, but the definition focuses on living for a long time.

Sense 2: "of long duration; not new" - this is about things, not specifically persons.

Sense 3: "(used for emphasis) very familiar" - "good old boy; same old story" - this is about familiarity/emphasis.

Sense 5: "belonging to some prior time" - erstwhile, former - an "old friend" could be seen as a friend from a prior time.

Hmm, in WordNet, "old friend" would typically be tagged. Let me think about which sense best matches "old" in "old friend."

Actually, "old friend" in WordNet is often associated with sense 1 (age of a person) extended to mean someone known for a long time. But looking at the definition more carefully - sense 1 says "having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age" with examples "his mother is very old; a ripe old age." This is about the age of a person themselves.

Sense 5 is about belonging to a prior time, which would mean "former" or "erstwhile." An "old friend" could be a friend from a prior period.

But actually, the most common interpretation of "old friend" is someone who has been a friend for a long time (long-standing friendship), which is more about duration and familiarity.

Looking at sense 3: "(used for emphasis) very familiar" with examples "good old boy; same old story." The synonym here is "familiar." An "old friend" is indeed someone familiar, but this sense seems more about emphasis rather than duration.

Hmm, I think in WordNet's classification, "old" in "old friend" would typically be sense 1, because it describes the friend's relationship duration. But the examples for sense 1 are about actual age of persons.

Let me reconsider. Sense 2: "of long duration; not new" - examples "old tradition; old house." This is about things existing for a long time. "Old friend" could be seen as a friendship of long duration.

Actually, looking at this more carefully, in WordNet, "old" in "old friend" is most commonly sense 1 because it's treating the friend as having existed/been known for a long time, similar to how an old person has lived a long time.

Wait, but sense 1 specifically says "used especially of persons" and is about having lived a long time. The friend hasn't lived a long time necessarily - the friendship has. So this might not be the best fit.

Sense 5 "belonging to some prior time" with synonym "erstwhile, former" - an "old friend" as someone from a prior time in one's life. This could work.

I think the best fit here is sense 1, because in common usage, "old friend" implies a friend known for a long time, and WordNet's sense 1 is the most general sense about age/duration that gets applied to people and their relationships. The "old" here is essentially saying the friendship has existed for a long time.

Actually, I'll go with sense 1. In WordNet, the collocation "old friend" is typically tagged under the primary adjectival sense related to age/long duration as applied to persons and their relationships.

Wait, let me look again at sense 2: "of long duration; not new" - this seems very general. "Old friend" as a friendship of long duration would fit here.

But sense 1 is specifically "used especially of persons" which seems more directly applicable to a friend.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a stranger who was just saved from being hit by a truck. The stranger is now thanking Phil (Haney) profusely and has one arm around his shoulders "as if he were an old friend." This is clearly not a genuine friendship - the stranger just met Phil moments ago. The phrase "as if he were an old friend" suggests the stranger is treating Phil as though they have a close, affectionate relationship, but it's actually a superficial acquaintance situation.

Let me consider the senses:
1. "a person you know well and regard with affection and trust" - This is the "true friend" sense. The context explicitly says "as if he were an old friend," meaning he's NOT actually an old friend. So this doesn't fit the actual relationship, but the word is being used to describe what the stranger is pretending/acting like.

2. "an associate who provides cooperation or assistance" - ally sense. Doesn't fit well.

3. "a person with whom you are acquainted" - acquaintance sense. This could work since the stranger is just an acquaintance.

4. "a person who backs a politician or a team etc." - supporter sense. Doesn't fit.

5. "a member of the Religious Society of Friends" - Quaker sense. Doesn't fit.

The key phrase is "as if he were an old friend." The word "friend" here is being used in the sense of someone you know well and regard with affection - sense 1. Even though the stranger isn't actually an old friend, the word is being used to evoke that meaning. The comparison "as if he were an old friend" specifically invokes the deep, affectionate friendship sense.

Actually, let me reconsider. The word "friend" in "as if he were an old friend" - what sense is being invoked? The phrase "old friend" specifically refers to someone you've known for a long time and have affection for. This maps to sense 1: "a person you know well and regard with affection and trust."

Sense 3 (acquaintance) would be more appropriate if the text said "as if he were a friend" without "old," but "old friend" specifically emphasizes the deep, long-standing relationship sense.

I'll go with sense 1.

The context is "the driver started to curse at both of them." This means the driver began to curse. So "started" here means "began" - taking the first step in carrying out an action.

Looking at the candidate senses:
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 fits perfectly - the driver began to curse. The construction "started to [verb]" is the classic use of this sense.

Sense 4 is "have a beginning" which is more about something having a beginning point in time/space, not about someone beginning an action.

Sense 1 is clearly the best match.

Target lemma: curse
Target surface form: curse
Context:
Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. 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. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to <t>curse</t> at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a truck driver who "started to curse at both of them." The driver is angry and directing profanity/obscenities at Phil and the stranger. This is the act of uttering profanities or obscenities directed at someone.

Let me look at the candidates:

1. "utter obscenities or profanities" - synonyms: cuss, blaspheme, swear, imprecate. Example: "The drunken men were cursing loudly in the street"
2. "heap obscenities upon" - Example: "The taxi driver who felt he didn't get a high enough tip cursed the passenger"
3. "wish harm upon; invoke evil upon" - This is about invoking evil, like a witch cursing someone.
4. "exclude from a church or a religious community" - excommunicate, not relevant here.

Both senses 1 and 2 could apply. Sense 1 is about uttering obscenities in general, while sense 2 is specifically about heaping obscenities upon someone (directed at a specific target).

The driver is cursing "at both of them" - this is directed at specific people. Sense 2 ("heap obscenities upon") seems to fit better because the cursing is directed at Phil and the stranger. The example for sense 2 (taxi driver cursing the passenger) is very similar to the truck driver cursing Phil and the stranger.

Sense 1 is more general - just uttering obscenities without necessarily directing them at someone. But in the context, the driver is directing his anger at them.

Actually, looking more carefully, "curse at both of them" implies directing the curse at specific people, which aligns with sense 2's "heap obscenities upon."

I'll go with sense 2.

This matches sense 1: "a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal)" with synonyms "secret plan, game."

reasoning_content:
The context describes a truck driver accusing Phil and Haney of being in a plot together to "ruin" his safe-driving record. The safe-driving record is being threatened/damaged, not physically destroyed, and not reduced to bankruptcy. The meaning here is more like "damage" or "spoil" the driver's record.

Looking at the senses:
1. "destroy completely; damage irreparably" - this is about physical destruction or irreparable damage
2. "destroy or cause to fail" - this is about causing something to fail, which fits well with ruining a record/chances
3. "reduce to bankruptcy" - not about money here
4. "reduce to ruins" - physical destruction
5. "deprive of virginity" - not relevant
6. "fall into ruin" - intransitive, not a verb form used here

The driver thinks Phil and Haney are trying to damage/spoil his safe-driving record. Sense 2 "destroy or cause to fail" with the example "This behavior will ruin your chances of winning the election" is very close - ruining a record is similar to ruining chances.

Sense 1 is more about complete, irreparable physical destruction. Sense 2 is about causing failure or destruction in a more general sense, which fits better with ruining a record (which is more about spoiling/damaging reputation).

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a truck driver who is angry because someone (Phil/Haney) shouted a warning to a pedestrian, causing the driver to brake suddenly. The driver curses at them "as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record."

Here, "record" refers to the driver's history of safe driving - his track record of not having accidents or violations. This is about the sum of recognized accomplishments or his driving history.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 4: "the sum of recognized accomplishments" with synonyms "track record" - examples include "the lawyer has a good record"
- Sense 3: "the number of wins versus losses and ties a team has had" - this is specifically about sports teams
- Sense 8: "a list of crimes for which an accused person has been previously convicted" - criminal record

The phrase "safe-driving record" refers to the driver's history/track record of safe driving. This fits best with sense 4, which is about the sum of recognized accomplishments (track record). It's not specifically about sports (sense 3), nor about criminal records (sense 8), nor about a physical document or phonograph record.

Sense 4 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a situation where someone (Haney) shouted involuntarily to warn a stranger, and the stranger was almost hit by a truck. The stranger then thanks Haney profusely, indicating Haney saved him from being hit by the truck. So "saved" here means to rescue from danger/harm.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. save from ruin, destruction, or harm - salvage, salve, relieve
3. bring into safety - carry through, pull through, bring through

Both 1 and 3 are relevant. Sense 1 is about saving from ruin/destruction/harm, while sense 3 is about bringing into safety.

The context is about saving someone from being hit by a truck - this is bringing someone into safety / rescuing them from harm.

Sense 3 "bring into safety" with examples like "We pulled through most of the victims of the bomb attack" fits well - it's about rescuing people from danger.

Sense 1 "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" also fits, as the person was saved from physical harm.

Both are very close. Let me look at the synonyms more carefully. Sense 1: salvage, salve, relieve. Sense 3: carry through, pull through, bring through.

The action here is someone shouted a warning that saved a stranger from being hit by a truck. This is more of a rescue - bringing someone into safety. I think sense 3 is the best fit because it's specifically about bringing someone into safety (rescuing them from immediate danger).

Actually, sense 1 says "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" - this is about preventing harm. Sense 3 is about bringing into safety. In this context, Haney's shout prevented the stranger from being harmed (hit by the truck), so it's saving from harm.

Hmm, both are applicable. Let me think about which is more precise. The person was in danger of being hit and Haney's warning brought him to safety. I think sense 3 "bring into safety" is more apt because the action resulted in the person being brought to safety, not just saved from potential harm in abstract.

Actually, looking again, sense 1 "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" seems to match better because the person was saved from physical harm (being hit by the truck). Sense 3 "bring into safety" with the example "We pulled through most of the victims of the bomb attack" is more about a rescue operation where people are already harmed and being saved.

I'll go with sense 1 because it's more about preventing harm from occurring, which is what happened here.

Wait, let me reconsider. The example for sense 3 is "We pulled through most of the victims of the bomb attack" - this is about rescuing people who were in danger. The context is about preventing someone from being hit by a truck. Both are similar.

I think sense 1 is the best choice because the definition "save from ruin, destruction, or harm" most directly captures what happened - the person was saved from being harmed (hit by the truck).

The context is: "Then the man he saved <t>turned</t> and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word."

Here, "turned" means the man rotated/changed his body orientation to face the truck driver. This is a physical movement changing orientation/direction.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=turn%2:38:00:: | definition=change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense | examples=Turn towards me; The mugger turned and fled before I could see his face

This matches perfectly. The man changed his physical orientation to look at the driver. The example "The mugger turned and fled before I could see his face" is very similar to the context.

Other candidates:
4. cause to move around or rotate - this is causative, but here the man turned himself, so it's intransitive
9. move around an axis or a center - this implies rotation, not just changing direction

Sense 1 is clearly the best match.

Target lemma: look
Target surface form: looked
Context:
His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. 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. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record. Then the man he saved turned and <t>looked</t> squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck.

The target word is "looked" in the context: "Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word."

This is clearly about directing one's gaze towards someone. The man "looked squarely into the truck driver's face" - this is about perceiving with attention and directing one's gaze.

Sense 1: "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards" - This fits perfectly. "She looked over the expanse of land; Look at your child!"

The other senses don't fit:
- Sense 2: about appearance/seeming
- Sense 3: about facial expression
- Sense 4: about searching
- Sense 5: about orientation
- Sense 6: about taking charge
- Sense 7: about conveying expression (could be a possibility but "looked squarely into" is more about directing gaze)
- Sense 8: about expecting
- Sense 9: about matching appearance
- Sense 10: about trusting

The best sense is sense 1.
