reasoning_content:
The context is: "he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

"Putting the whole incident out of mind" means causing the incident to be in a certain state (out of mind). This matches sense 2: "cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation" with examples like "put your ideas in writing" or "put me in awful good humor."

Let me check the other senses:
- Sense 1: physical placement - not quite right, this is figurative
- Sense 2: cause to be in a certain state - "putting out of mind" = causing to be in the state of being out of mind
- Sense 3: formulate in a particular style - no
- Sense 4: attribute or give - no
- Sense 5: make an investment - no
- Sense 6: estimate - no
- Sense 7: cause someone to undergo - no
- Sense 8: adapt - no
- Sense 9: arrange thoughts - could be related to "putting out of mind" but sense 2 is more direct

Sense 2 is the best match. "Putting something out of mind" is causing it to be in a state of being forgotten/dismissed.

reasoning_content:
The context describes Haney drinking the night before, going to sleep, and the next day being reminded of where he had been by a "hangover." This clearly refers to the disagreeable aftereffects of alcohol consumption.

Sense 1: disagreeable aftereffects from drugs/alcohol - this matches perfectly.
Sense 2: an official who remains in office - not relevant.
Sense 3: something that has survived from the past - not the primary meaning here, though there's a secondary metaphorical use later ("The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation") which could be seen as sense 3. But the primary "hangover" here is clearly the physical aftereffect of drinking.

The best sense is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "night" in the phrase "the night before." This refers to the previous evening/night period - a time unit, the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered as a time unit. The example for sense 4 is "three nights later he collapsed" which is similar usage. Sense 1 is about the time after sunset when it's dark. Sense 4 is about the diurnal cycle as a time unit.

"The night before" refers to the previous night as a time period, which fits sense 4 (the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit) or sense 1 (the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside).

Looking more carefully: "the night before" is referring to the previous night as a reference point in time - "the previous nighttime period." This is treating night as a time unit. Sense 4 seems most appropriate with its example "three nights later he collapsed" - a similar temporal reference.

Actually, sense 1 is "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - this is the basic meaning of night. Sense 4 is "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit."

"The night before" is using night as a time reference - the previous night. This could be either, but sense 4 with the example "three nights later" is very parallel to "the night before." I'll go with sense 4.

reasoning_content:
The context says: "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned."

Here, the hangover is causing Haney to remember/think about his conversation with the weirdy. This is putting something in the mind of someone - causing him to recall something.

Sense 1: "put in the mind of someone" - this fits well. The hangover reminded Haney of something, i.e., it put his conversation with the weirdy in his mind.

Sense 2: "assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned" - this is about prompting someone to remember their lines, like a cue. This doesn't fit the context.

Sense 1 is the clear choice.

The sentence is: "He <t>went</t> for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way"

Here, "went for" means he went to get more aspirin, i.e., he moved/traveled to get aspirin. This is a motion/locomotion sense.

Let me look at the candidates:

1. sense_key=go%2:38:00:: | definition=change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically | synonyms=travel, move, locomote
3. sense_key=go%2:38:01:: | definition=move away from a place into another direction | synonyms=go away, depart

"He went for more aspirin" - he moved to a place to get more aspirin. This is about changing location/moving. Sense 1 is about moving/traveling/proceeding. Sense 3 is about moving away from a place (departing).

"He went for more aspirin" = he went to get more aspirin = he traveled to acquire more aspirin. This is more about the movement/proceeding to get something, which fits sense 1 (move, travel, or proceed).

Sense 1 seems to be the best match here. The person is going somewhere to get aspirin, which is a movement/change of location.

Target lemma: ignore
Target surface form: ignored
Context:
Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and <t>ignored</t> him. He went back to work Monday.

reasoning_content:
The context describes Phil shrugging and ignoring the surly landlord. The landlord is scowling as usual, and Phil simply ignores him - this is a deliberate act of refusing to acknowledge or give attention to someone.

Let me consider the candidates:
1. "refuse to acknowledge" with synonyms disregard, snub, cut - this fits well because Phil is deliberately not acknowledging the landlord
2. "bar from attention or consideration" with synonyms dismiss, brush aside - this also could fit
3. "fail to notice" - this is more passive, not deliberate
4. "give little or no attention to" with synonyms neglect, disregard - this could fit too
5. "be ignorant of or in the dark about" - doesn't fit, Phil knows the landlord is there

The key distinction: Phil "shrugged and ignored him" - this is a deliberate social act of refusing to acknowledge someone. The shrug is a dismissive gesture, and ignoring the landlord is a conscious choice to not engage with him.

Sense 1 (refuse to acknowledge) with synonyms like "snub" and "cut" seems to capture the deliberate social snubbing aspect. The example "She cut him dead at the meeting" is very similar to deliberately ignoring someone in a social context.

Sense 2 (bar from attention or consideration) is more about dismissing ideas or proposals.

Sense 4 (give little or no attention to) is more general.

Given that Phil is deliberately refusing to engage with the landlord as a social act (after shrugging), sense 1 seems most appropriate. The shrug + ignore combination suggests a deliberate snub.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a landlord who is "still alive" on Wednesday. This is used in a straightforward literal sense - the landlord is still living, still possessing life. The narrator seems to be noting that the landlord is still alive (perhaps implying some expectation that something might happen to him, or just noting his continued existence).

Looking at the senses:
1. "possessing life" - synonyms: live - "the happiest person alive" - This is the literal meaning of being alive/living.
2. "full of life and spirit" - This is about being lively, not applicable here.
3. "having life or vigor or spirit" - about being animated, not applicable.
4. "aware of" - not applicable.
5. "in operation" - not really applicable here.
6. "mentally perceptive and responsive" - not applicable.
7. "capable of erupting" - not applicable.

The context "he was still alive and scowling as usual" and "By Wednesday the landlord was still alive" - this is clearly about the landlord still being alive, still living, still possessing life. This matches sense 1.

This aligns with sense 3, which is about court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated (alimony). Sense 2 is about "means of maintenance of a family or group" which is more general. The phrase "separate maintenance" is a legal term related to spousal support after separation, which is essentially alimony. So sense 3 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "wished" in the context: "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

So Haney is expressing a desire/hope that the stranger could do something about his wife (Lolly). This is expressing a desire or hope concerning something in the future - specifically wishing that someone could do something.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "hope for; have a wish" - examples: "I wish I could go home now" - This is about having a wish/hope
2. "prefer or wish to do something" - synonyms: care, like - This is about preference
3. "make or express a wish" - examples: "I wish that Christmas were over" - This is about expressing a wish
4. "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" - synonyms: wish well - This is about wishing well for someone
5. "order politely; express a wish for" - This is polite ordering
6. "invoke upon" - synonyms: bid - examples: "wish you a nice evening; bid farewell" - This is about invoking/blessing

The context "wished the stranger could do something about her" - Haney is expressing a wish/desire that something could happen. This is expressing a wish.

Sense 3 is "make or express a wish" with example "I wish that Christmas were over" - this matches the construction "wished [someone] could do something" - expressing a wish.

Sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish" with example "I wish I could go home now" - this is very similar.

The difference between sense 1 and sense 3: Sense 1 is about hoping/having a wish, while sense 3 is about the act of expressing a wish. The sentence says "wished the stranger could do something" - this is the act of expressing/wishing for something.

Looking more carefully:
- Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" - this is more about the internal state of wishing
- Sense 3: "make or express a wish" - this is about the verbal expression

In "wished the stranger could do something about her", Haney is expressing/making a wish. The verb "wished" here is used to express a wish (similar to "I wish that...").

Actually, let me reconsider. The construction "wished [subject] could [verb]" is expressing a wish about a hypothetical situation. This is most naturally captured by sense 3 "make or express a wish" or sense 1 "hope for; have a wish".

Sense 1 example: "I wish I could go home now" - this is expressing a wish about a hypothetical capability.
Sense 3 example: "I wish that Christmas were over" - this is expressing a wish about a hypothetical state.

Both are similar. But sense 1's definition "hope for; have a wish" and example "I wish I could go home now" seems to match the construction "wished [someone] could do something" very well - it's hoping for/wishing for a capability.

Hmm, actually, the difference between the two senses in WordNet for "wish" as a verb:
- wish%2:37:00:: - "hope for; have a wish" - this might be the stative sense (to wish for something)
- wish%2:32:02:: - "make or express a wish" - this is the active sense of expressing a wish

Wait, looking at the structure:
- 2:37:00 - these are stative verbs (emotion/mental state)
- 2:32:02 - these might be communication verbs

Actually, in WordNet, the first digit after the colon indicates the file:
- 37 = verb.stative
- 32 = verb.communication

So:
- Sense 1: stative - "hope for; have a wish"
- Sense 2: stative - "prefer or wish to do something"
- Sense 3: communication - "make or express a wish"
- Sense 4: stative - "feel or express a desire or hope"
- Sense 5: communication - "order politely"
- Sense 6: communication - "invoke upon"

The verb "wished" in "wished the stranger could do something about her" - is this expressing/wishing (communication) or having a wish (stative)?

"Wished the stranger could do something" - this is expressing a wish. The construction is a content clause "the stranger could do something" which is the content of the wish.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now" - uses "could" construction
- Sense 3: "I wish that Christmas were over" - uses "were" construction

The target sentence uses "could": "wished the stranger could do something" - this matches sense 1's example pattern more closely.

Also, sense 1's definition "hope for; have a wish" fits "wished the stranger could do something about her" - he's hoping for/wishing for the stranger to be able to do something.

Hmm, but sense 3 "make or express a wish" also fits because he is expressing a wish.

Let me think about this more carefully. The verb "wish" in "I wish I could go home" is stative - it describes a mental state of wishing. The verb "wish" in "I wish you a Merry Christmas" is more like an act of expressing/invoking.

In the target: "wished the stranger could do something about her" - this is about a mental state of wishing for a hypothetical situation. Haney wishes/hopes that the stranger could do something. This is more stative.

I think sense 1 is the best fit: "hope for; have a wish" with example "I wish I could go home now".

Wait, but sense 1 and sense 4 are both about hoping/wishing. Let me look at sense 4 again: "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" - synonyms: wish well. This is about wishing well for someone. "Wish someone well" - to hope for their good fortune. This doesn't fit because Haney isn't wishing well for the stranger; he's wishing that the stranger could do something.

So between sense 1 and sense 3:
- Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" - fits well
- Sense 3: "make or express a wish" - also fits

The key example comparison:
- Sense 1 example: "I wish I could go home now" - this is about wishing for one's own capability
- Sense 3 example: "I wish that Christmas were over" - this is about wishing for a state change

Target: "wished the stranger could do something" - this is wishing for someone's capability.

The construction "wish [someone] could [do something]" is about hoping/wishing for a hypothetical. This aligns most closely with sense 1's example pattern "I wish I could go home now".

However, "make or express a wish" is also a valid interpretation because he's expressing a wish.

I think sense 1 is slightly better because:
1. The "could" construction matches
2. "Hope for" captures the hypothetical nature of the wish
3. The mental state interpretation fits

Actually, let me reconsider. In WordNet sense distinctions, the difference between wish%2:37:00 (hope for) and wish%2:32:02 (make or express a wish) might be subtle.

Looking at WordNet more carefully:
- wish%2:37:00 - "hope for; have a wish" - This is the stative sense
- wish%2:32:02 - "make or express a wish" - This is the communication/act sense

The target "wished the stranger could do something" - is this describing a mental state (he wishes/hopes) or an act of expressing (he expresses a wish)?

In English, "wished" can be interpreted either way. But the context "mailed the check and wished..." suggests two actions: mailing and wishing. So "wished" here is more like an action of expressing a wish, or it could be a state.

Hmm, actually "mailed the check and wished..." - the "wished" here is a covert content. He didn't actually verbalize the wish. It's more of a mental state or an expression.

I'll go with sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" because:
1. The "could" construction pattern matches
2. It captures the hypothetical/desiderative nature
3. It's about having a wish rather than performing a speech act

Actually, I'm now reconsidering. The phrase "make or express a wish" with example "I wish that Christmas were over" - this uses a "that" clause with a subjunctive. The target uses "could" which is also subjunctive/hypothetical.

Both sense 1 and sense 3 use subjunctive constructions in their examples. The key difference is the semantic role.

Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" - the wish is for oneself typically
Sense 3: "make or express a wish" - more general expression

In the target, Haney wishes for the stranger to be able to do something. This is him having a wish (sense 1) or expressing a wish (sense 3).

Let me look at the definitions once more:
- Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" - this is about the state of wishing
- Sense 3: "make or express a wish" - this is about the act of expressing

The sentence "Haney mailed the check and wished..." - the coordination with "mailed" suggests "wished" is also an action, but it could be a state.

I think sense 1 is the best match because the construction "wished [someone] could do something" is most naturally interpreted as "hoped for" or "had a wish that". The example "I wish I could go home now" parallels "wished the stranger could do something" very closely.

Final answer: Sense 1.

Wait, I want to double-check by considering sense 4: "feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of" - synonyms: wish well. This is specifically about wishing well for someone's fortune/future. "Wish someone well" - "I wish you well". This doesn't fit because Haney isn't wishing well for the stranger; he wants the stranger to do something.

So between 1 and 3, I'll go with 1.

Actually, one more consideration. Let me look at the synset membership:
- wish%2:37:00:: - "hope for; have a wish" - this likely belongs to a synset with words like desire, want, hope
- wish%2:32:02:: - "make or express a wish" - this likely belongs to a synset with words like express, voice

"Make or express a wish" sounds like a performative verb - you're making a wish (like blowing out birthday candles and making a wish). But actually, in the example "I wish that Christmas were over", the person is expressing a desire, not performing a ritual.

Hmm, "make a wish" in English can mean either:
1. Perform a wish-making ritual (birthday wish)
2. Express a desire

In WordNet, "make or express a wish" likely means #2.

OK, I think sense 1 is the best fit. The target is "wished the stranger could do something about her" which is most naturally interpreted as "hoped/wished for the stranger to be able to do something" - this is the "hope for; have a wish" sense.

Final answer: 1.

The context describes "the stranger" in relation to "his wife Lolly" - Haney wished the stranger could do something about her (his wife). The "stranger" here refers to someone Haney doesn't know or isn't acquainted with - it's someone unfamiliar to him. This matches sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with."

Sense 1 is about someone who doesn't belong in the environment (an alien/unknown), which could also fit, but the context specifically suggests someone unfamiliar to Haney personally, not necessarily someone out of place in their environment.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The stranger could do something about her" - this refers to someone who is a stranger to Lolly, or to Haney. It's about personal unfamiliarity rather than environmental belonging.

Sense 2 fits best.

The target word "do" appears in the context: "wished the stranger could do something about her"

This is a common collocation "do something about" which means to take action to address or fix a problem. The person wishes the stranger could take some action regarding "her" (his wife Lolly).

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. engage in - "make love, not war; make an effort" - this is about engaging in activities
2. carry out or perform an action - "John did the painting" - this is more about performing specific tasks
3. get (something) done - "I did my job" - this is about completing tasks
4. proceed or get along - "How is she doing" - not relevant
5. give rise to; cause to happen - "cause a commotion" - not quite right
6. carry out or practice - "practice law" - not relevant
7. be sufficient - not relevant
8. create or design - not relevant
9. behave in a certain manner - not relevant
10. spend time in prison - not relevant
11. carry on or function - not relevant
12. arrange attractively - not relevant
13. travel or traverse - not relevant

The phrase "do something about" typically means to take action to address or fix something. This aligns most with sense 1 "engage in" or sense 2 "carry out or perform an action."

Looking at sense 1: "engage in" with examples like "make an effort" - this seems close. "Do something" in the sense of taking action/engaging in an activity.

Looking at sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" - this is more about executing a specific task.

"Could do something about her" - here "do" is used in a general sense of taking action. The wish is that the stranger would take some action to address the situation with his wife.

Sense 1 ("engage in") with the synonym "make" and example "make an effort" seems to fit well. "Do something" = engage in some action/activity.

Sense 2 is more about performing a specific, named action.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because "do something about" is about engaging in some action (an unspecified activity to address the problem), not about performing a specific already-defined task.
