In the sentence, "Saturday night" refers to the time of day on Saturday when he goes to the bar and drinks. This is the time between sunset and midnight (or just the evening/night time when people go out). Wait, let's look at the options.
Option 1: the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside.
Option 4: the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit (three nights later).
Option 7: the time between sunset and midnight (he watched television every night). "Saturday night" usually refers to the evening/nighttime activity period, often ending at midnight or referring to the evening. But is it 1 or 7? Or maybe 1?
Wait, WordNet senses for "night":
1. night, nighttime (the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside)
2. night (a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom) "the Dark Ages"
3. night (the period spent sleeping) "I had a restless night"
4. night (the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit) "three nights later he collapsed"
5. night, darkness (darkness) "it vanished into the night"
6. night, nightfall (a shortening of nightfall) "they worked from morning to night"
7. night (the time between sunset and midnight) "he watched television every night"
8. Night, Nox (Roman goddess of night...)

"Saturday night" - usually refers to the time between sunset and midnight, or just the evening. Wait, "Saturday night" as an event or time of day. Let's check typical WordNet annotations.
"Saturday night" -> time between sunset and midnight? Or time after sunset and before sunrise?
Actually, "night" as in "Saturday night" (when he had an excuse to drink) refers to the evening/nighttime. Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight" (he watched television every night).
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 7.
Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - physical darkness.
Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight" - social/conventional night (e.g., Saturday night, Friday night, every night). People don't say "Saturday nighttime" usually, they say "Saturday night".
Wait, WordNet sense 7 is "the time between sunset and midnight". Example: "he watched television every night".
Is "Saturday night" sense 1 or 7?
Let's search for similar examples. "Saturday night" is often sense 7 because it refers to the evening/night hours before midnight, or it's a conventional time unit. Actually, in WordNet, "night" (the time between sunset and midnight) is often used for "Saturday night", "Friday night", etc.
Wait, let's look at the exact definition of Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside".
Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight".
In the sentence: "Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
Drinking at a bar usually happens before midnight (or spans across, but conventionally "Saturday night" refers to the evening).
Let's think if there's any other cue. "two weeks later -- Saturday night".
Could it be 1? "night" as opposed to "day".
Let's check the WordNet sense for "Saturday night". Often it's mapped to sense 1 or 7.
Actually, in the SemCor or similar corpus, "Saturday night" might be sense 1 or 7.
Let's consider "night" in "every night" -> sense 7.
"Saturday night" -> sense 7? Or sense 1?
"night" (time after sunset and before sunrise) is the most common sense.
Let's look at the gloss: "the time between sunset and midnight". This specifically captures the "evening" sense of night, as in "I'm going out tonight" or "Saturday night".
Let's guess 7. Wait, "Saturday night" could just be 1. Let's re-read carefully.
If I have to choose between 1 and 7.
"he watched television every night" -> 7.
"Saturday night" -> 7.
What about "three nights later" -> 4.
"restless night" -> 3.
"vanished into the night" -> 5.
"morning to night" -> 6.
"dark outside" -> 1.
I will bet on 7 because "Saturday night" implies the social evening/nighttime before midnight.
Wait, could it be 1? "It was the same bar... Saturday night".
Let's check if there is a more definitive distinction. Sense 1 is the physical period of darkness. Sense 7 is the conventional period (sunset to midnight). "Saturday night" is a conventional designation (the night of Saturday, which ends at midnight, after which it's Sunday morning). So 7 is highly appropriate.
Wait, is "night" in "Saturday night" considered sense 1 in WordNet?
In WordNet 3.1:
S: (n) night, nighttime (the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside)
S: (n) night (a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom)
S: (n) night (the period spent sleeping)
S: (n) night (the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit)
S: (n) night, darkness (darkness)
S: (n) night, nightfall (a shortening of nightfall)
S: (n) night (the time between sunset and midnight) "he watched television every night"
S: (n) Night, Nox (Roman goddess...)

I'll output 7. Wait, what if it's 1? "night" as in "nighttime". "Saturday night" is a specific time. Let's think if 1 is safer. 1 is the most general and frequent. But 7 specifically mentions "sunset to midnight", which perfectly aligns with "Saturday night" (as opposed to Saturday nighttime, which might imply the whole dark period). I'll go with 7.
Actually, let me reconsider 1. Often, "night" in "Saturday night" is just tagged as 1 because it's the general time of day. But 7 is specifically "the time between sunset and midnight", which is exactly what "Saturday night" means in the context of going to a bar (you don't go to a bar at 3 AM and call it Saturday night, you call it Saturday night for the evening hours). I will output 7.
Wait, let's look at another perspective. Could it be 1? "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside".
Let's choose 7.

Let me rethink. In many WSD datasets, "night" in "Friday night", "Saturday night" is sense 7.
Example: "I'll see you on Friday night." -> sense 7.
I'll output 7.

The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he <t>had</t> an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
The word is "had" (have).
Meaning in context: He possessed or had an excuse. "have an excuse".
Let's check the senses.
1. have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense. Examples: She has $1,000 in the bank. "have an excuse" fits "possess in an abstract sense".
2. have as a feature
3. go through (mental or physical states or experiences)
4. have ownership or possession of
5. cause to move
6. serve oneself to
7. have a personal or business relationship
8. organize or be responsible for
9. have left

11. undergo

13. cause to do
14. receive willingly
15. get something
16. undergo (injuries)
17. achieve a point
18. cause to be born
19. have sex with

"have an excuse" -> possess an abstract thing (an excuse).
Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense"
Let's double check.
Can it be 3? "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" -> get an idea, have a feeling. An excuse is not a state or experience.
Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's review Sense 1 vs Sense 4. Sense 4 is "have ownership or possession of" (He owns three houses). Sense 1 is "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense". "Excuse" is abstract. So Sense 1.

Wait, is there any other sense? "have an excuse" -> possess an excuse. Sense 1.
Let's confirm.
"have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" -> She has $1,000 in the bank. (Also: I have an idea, I have an excuse).
Yes, 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an <t>excuse</t> to drink heavier than usual."
The word "excuse" here means a reason or justification for doing something (drinking heavier than usual).
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc. | examples=he kept finding excuses to stay
2. definition=a note explaining an absence | examples=he had to get his mother to write an excuse for him
3. definition=a poor example | examples=it was an apology for a meal

Sense 1 fits best, as it refers to a reason/defense/justification for a behavior (drinking heavier). "he kept finding excuses to stay" is very similar to "he had an excuse to drink".
Sense 2 is a physical note.
Sense 3 is "a poor example" (like "an excuse for a meal").

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.

Which numbered sense of "drink" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to <t>drink</t> heavier than usual.

Senses:
1. definition=take in liquids | examples=The patient must drink several liters each day
2. definition=consume alcohol | examples=We were up drinking all night
3. definition=propose a toast to | examples=Let us toast the birthday girl!
4. definition=be fascinated or spell-bound by; pay close attention to | examples=The mother drinks in every word of her son on the stage

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to <t>drink</t> heavier than usual."
The word "drink" here refers to consuming alcohol, specifically "drink heavier than usual".
Let's look at the senses:
1. take in liquids
2. consume alcohol
3. propose a toast to
4. be fascinated or spell-bound by
5. drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic

Wait, "drink heavier than usual" means consume alcohol. Is it sense 2 or sense 5?
Sense 2: consume alcohol (We were up drinking all night)
Sense 5: drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic (The husband drinks and beats his wife)

In the sentence, "he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual." This means he consumed alcohol. It doesn't necessarily mean he is an alcoholic (sense 5), just that on this occasion he drank more heavily. So sense 2 is a better fit. Let's re-read sense 2: "consume alcohol". "drink heavier" -> consume alcohol.
Wait, "drink" as an intransitive verb meaning "consume alcohol".
Let's check WordNet senses for "drink".
Sense 1: drink, imbibe, take in (take in liquids)
Sense 2: drink, booze, fuddle (consume alcohol) "We were up drinking all night"
Sense 3: toast, drink, pledge, salute, wassail (propose a toast to)
Sense 4: drink in (be fascinated or spell-bound by)
Sense 5: drink (drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic) "The husband drinks and beats his wife"

"drink heavier than usual" -> he had an excuse to consume alcohol (in larger quantities). It's sense 2. Sense 5 is specifically about being an alcoholic or habitually drinking excessively. Here it's a specific occasion ("Saturday night, when he had an excuse to..."). So it's Sense 2.

Let me double check.
"drink heavier" -> consume alcohol.
Therefore, sense 2.
Number: 2.
Just to be sure, "drink" in "drink heavily" usually maps to sense 2 (consume alcohol) or sense 5? "He drinks heavily" might be sense 5 if it's a habit, but "had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" refers to the act of consuming alcohol on that night.
I'll go with 2.
Wait, let's consider if "drink" in "drink heavily" is sense 2. Yes, "consume alcohol".

Let's review the options.
1. take in liquids
2. consume alcohol
3. propose a toast to
4. be fascinated
5. drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic

I will output 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than <t>usual</t>."
The word "usual" is used as a noun here, meaning "what is usual" or "the usual amount/degree". Wait, let's look at the senses provided.
Sense 1: occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure.
Sense 2: commonly encountered.

Wait, the word "usual" in "heavier than usual" refers to what is customary or regular for him.

Sense 2: commonly encountered; "a common (or familiar) complaint"; "the usual excuses"

Wait, "heavier than usual". "Usual" here means "what is regular or customary".
Sense 1 definition: occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure.
Sense 2 definition: commonly encountered (a common/familiar complaint, the usual excuses).

In "drink heavier than usual", "usual" refers to his regular practice or procedure (his usual drinking amount).
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"usual" as an adjective modifying an implied noun (amount), or as a noun.
WordNet:
usual (occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure) "grew the usual vegetables"; "the usual summer heat"; "came at the usual time"; "the child's usual bedtime"

"He had been sitting..." -> past continuous of "sit" meaning to be seated.

This aligns with Sense 1: "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure".

Let's check WordNet senses for "usual".
Sense 1: usual (occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure) "grew the usual vegetables"; "the usual routine"

Sentence: "He had been sitting in the usual <t>corner</t> at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."

8. a predicament from which a skillful or graceful escape is impossible
9. a projecting part where two sides or edges meet
10. a remote area
11. (architecture) solid exterior angle of a building

In the sentence, he is sitting in the "usual corner at the little table". Wait, "at the little table" or is the table in the corner of the room? "sitting in the usual corner at the little table" usually means a corner of a room or a secluded spot. Wait, "corner" of a room is "an interior angle formed by two meeting walls" (sense 3). Let's re-read carefully: "sitting in the usual corner at the little table" -> sitting in a corner of a room/bar.
Wait, sense 3: "an interior angle formed by two meeting walls | examples=a piano was in one corner of the room". This fits perfectly for sitting in a corner of a room.

Let's check sense 1: "a place off to the side of an area".
Sense 3 is the standard definition for the corner of a room. "sitting in the usual corner [of the room/bar] at the little table".

Let's review WordNet senses for "corner":
1. corner, property (a place off to the side of an area) "he tripled to the rightfield corner"
2. corner (the point where two lines meet or intersect) "the corners of a rectangle"
3. corner (an interior angle formed by two meeting walls) "a piano was in one corner of the room"
4. street corner, corner, turning point (the intersection of two streets)
5. corner (the point where three areas or surfaces meet or intersect) "the corners of a cube"
6. recess, recession, niche, corner (a small concavity)
7. corner (a temporary monopoly)
8. corner, tight corner, tight spot (a predicament)
9. corner (a projecting part)
10. corner, nook, cranny, niche (a remote area) "in many corners of the world"
11. corner (architecture)

The sentence implies he was sitting in a corner of a room (like a bar or restaurant, given "lushes"). So sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check if it could be 1. No, 1 is for sports (rightfield corner).
Could it be 3? Yes, "a piano was in one corner of the room". Sitting in the corner of a room.

Therefore, the sense is 3.
There's no other sense that fits "sitting in the usual corner".
I will output 3.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little <t>table</t>, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
The word "table" refers to a piece of furniture where he was sitting.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a set of data arranged in rows and columns
2. a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs
3. a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it
4. flat tableland with steep edges
5. a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game
6. food or meals in general

In the sentence, "sitting... at the little table", it refers to the physical piece of furniture (sense 2) or perhaps a table in a restaurant/bar (sense 3). However, "little table" usually refers to the physical furniture itself. Let's consider WordNet senses.
Sense 2: "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs" (it was a sturdy table).
Sense 3: "a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it" (I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant).
The sentence says "sitting in the usual corner at the little table". This emphasizes the physical object (little table) rather than the meal laid out on it. "little table" strongly points to Sense 2 (the physical furniture). Wait, could it be Sense 2? Yes, "little table" refers to the physical dimensions of the furniture.

Let's double check.
"at the little table" -> physical furniture.
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Number: 2.

Senses:
1. definition=full of trivial conversation | examples=kept from her housework by gabby neighbors
2. definition=unwisely talking too much
3. definition=friendly and open and willing to talk | examples=wine made the guest expansive

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any <t>talkative</t>, friendly lushes."
The word "talkative" is used to describe "lushes" (drunkards) who are "friendly".
Let's look at the senses:
1. full of trivial conversation (gabby)
2. unwisely talking too much
3. friendly and open and willing to talk (expansive)

In the context of "friendly lushes", "talkative" aligns well with "friendly and open and willing to talk". Wait, "lushes" are drunk people, and alcohol often makes people "expansive" (friendly, open, and willing to talk).
Let's re-read the senses.
Sense 1: full of trivial conversation (gabby neighbors)
Sense 2: unwisely talking too much
Sense 3: friendly and open and willing to talk (wine made the guest expansive)

"friendly lushes" -> "friendly and open and willing to talk".
Also, the sentence pairs "talkative" with "friendly". So sense 3 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check. WordNet synsets for talkative:
1. talkative, chatty, gabby, garrulous, loquacious, pally, palmy (full of trivial conversation) - wait, pally? No, "gabby".
2. talkative (unwisely talking too much)
3. communicative, talkative (friendly and open and willing to talk) - "wine made the guest expansive" -> expansive is a synonym.

Wait, is "talkative" in "talkative, friendly lushes" sense 3? Yes, "friendly and open and willing to talk".
Let's consider Sense 3: definition=friendly and open and willing to talk.
The sentence describes people in a bar ("lushes") who are drunk and therefore "talkative, friendly". This matches the "expansive" sense induced by alcohol.

Let's confirm WordNet senses for "talkative":
Sense 1: talkative (full of trivial conversation) "kept from her housework by gabby neighbors"
Sense 2: talkative (unwisely talking too much)
Sense 3: communicative, talkative (friendly and open and willing to talk) "wine made the guest expansive" (Wait, expansive is synonymous with communicative here).

Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct one.
Let's review the sentence again: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
"talkative" here means willing to talk, friendly.
I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity.
Number: 3.

The sentence is: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
The word "friendly" is used to describe "lushes" (drunkards/people in a bar).

Let's double check.
Sense 1: characteristic of or befitting a friend. Examples: friendly advice, friendly greeting, friendly people.
Sense 2: inclined to help or support.
The lushes are being "friendly" in the sense of being sociable and amicable (like a friend). So Sense 1.
Wait, "friendly" as in "amicable, sociable". WordNet sense 1: "characteristic of or befitting a friend" (friendly advice, friendly neighbors).

5. definition=take delight in | examples=he delights in his granddaughter

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He was <t>enjoying</t> the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
The word is "enjoying".
Senses:
1. derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in (She relished her fame and basked in her glory) -> WordNet sense 1? Wait, "relish", "bask", "enjoy".
2. have benefit from (enjoy privileges)
3. get pleasure from (I love cooking) -> Wait, "enjoy" sense: "get pleasure from" (enjoy, love).
4. have for one's benefit (The industry enjoyed a boom)
5. take delight in (he delights in his granddaughter)

Let's look at the WordNet senses for "enjoy":
Sense 1: enjoy, bask, relish, savor, savour (derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in) "She relished her fame and basked in her glory"
Sense 2: enjoy, love (get pleasure from) "I love cooking"
Sense 3: enjoy, have (have benefit from) "enjoy privileges"
Sense 4: enjoy (have for one's benefit) "The industry enjoyed a boom"
Sense 5: enjoy (take delight in) "he delights in his granddaughter" -> wait, "delight", "rejoice", "enjoy"?

In the sentence: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual..."
He was getting pleasure from the ritual.
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
Sense 1: derive or receive pleasure from; take pleasure in.
Sense 3: get pleasure from (I love cooking).
Wait, "enjoy" in "enjoying the weekly ritual" means "take pleasure in" or "get pleasure from".
Let's check the exact WordNet synsets for "enjoy".
Synset 1: enjoy, bask, relish, savor, savour (derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in)
Synset 2: enjoy, love (get pleasure from) "I love cooking"
Synset 3: enjoy, have (have benefit from) "enjoy privileges"
Synset 4: enjoy (have for one's benefit) "The industry enjoyed a boom"
Synset 5: enjoy (take delight in) "he delights in his granddaughter" -> actually, the 5th synset might be "enjoy" as in "enjoy oneself" or something. Wait, "take delight in" -> "he delights in his granddaughter" is probably "delight, enjoy, rejoice".

Let's look closely at Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
Sense 1: enjoy, bask, relish, savor, savour.
Sense 2 (numbered 3 here? No, numbered 3 in the prompt): enjoy, love.
Wait, "enjoying the weekly ritual" -> he was taking pleasure in it, savoring it.
Often, "enjoy" + noun phrase (an activity, an event) maps to Sense 1 (relish, savor) or Sense 2 (love).
"I love cooking" -> "enjoy" is a synonym. "I enjoy cooking".
"He was enjoying the weekly ritual" -> "enjoying" here means taking pleasure in, relishing.
Let's consider Sense 1: "derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in".
Let's consider Sense 3: "get pleasure from".
Is there a difference in WordNet?
WordNet 3.1:
1. (14) enjoy, bask, relish, savor, savour -- (derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in; "She relished her fame and basked in her glory")
2. (11) enjoy, love -- (get pleasure from; "I love cooking")
3. (6) enjoy, have -- (have benefit from; "enjoy privileges")
4. (4) enjoy -- (have for one's benefit; "The industry enjoyed a boom")
5. (1) delight, rejoice, enjoy -- (take delight in; "he delights in his granddaughter")

In "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance...", he is savoring/relishing the ritual.
Could it be 1? Yes, "relish" fits "enjoying the weekly ritual".
Let's check if there's a specific corpus example. "He was enjoying the weekly ritual..." is from a book.
Actually, Sense 1 is the most common sense for "enjoy" meaning to take pleasure in an experience or activity. Sense 2 (love) is more about hobbies or general preferences ("I enjoy cooking" -> "I love cooking").
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"enjoying the weekly ritual" -> taking pleasure in.
Sense 1: derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in.
Sense 3: get pleasure from.
I will output 1.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let me review if it is 1.
1. definition=derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in
I'll go with 1.
There is a slight chance it's 1.
Let's confirm the numbering.
1 is enjoy, bask, relish...
3 is enjoy, love...

2. definition=the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies
3. definition=stereotyped behavior

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He was enjoying the weekly <t>ritual</t> of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
The word is "ritual".
Senses:
1. any customary observance or practice
2. the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies
3. stereotyped behavior

In this sentence, "ritual" refers to a customary observance or practice (a weekly habit of drinking bourbon). It is not a religious ceremony, nor is it stereotyped behavior in the psychological sense (though it's a habit, "customary observance or practice" fits perfectly for a regular personal habit/routine). Wait, WordNet defines:
1. ritual, rite (any customary observance or practice) "the ritual of sleeping in a hammock"
2. ritual (the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies)
3. stereotyped behavior, ritual (stereotyped behavior)

Wait, "weekly ritual of washing down..." fits sense 1: any customary observance or practice.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: any customary observance or practice.
Sense 2: religious.
Sense 3: stereotyped behavior (often compulsive or animal behavior, or rigid psychological routine).
Here it's a personal custom/habit, which aligns with Sense 1.

I will return 1.

Which numbered sense of "pet" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his <t>pet</t> grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water.

Senses:
1. definition=a domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement
2. definition=a special loved one
3. definition=a fit of petulance or sulkiness (especially at what is felt to be a slight)
4. definition=using a computerized radiographic technique to examine the metabolic activity in various tissues (especially in the brain)

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his <t>pet</t> grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
The word "pet" is used as an adjective modifying "grievance". Wait, "pet grievance" means a particular or favorite grievance.
Let's check the senses provided:
1. a domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement
2. a special loved one
3. a fit of petulance or sulkiness (especially at what is felt to be a slight)
4. using a computerized radiographic technique...

Wait, the word "pet" in "pet grievance" or "pet project" means "favorite" or "particular". Is there a sense for that?
Wait, look at sense 3: "a fit of petulance or sulkiness". No, that's a noun.
Let's re-read the senses.
Wait, "pet" as an adjective: "pet peeve", "pet project".
Is there an adjective sense missing, or does one of the senses cover it?
Wait, if it's "pet grievance", could it be related to sense 3? No, "pet" in "pet grievance" means a favorite or particular one.
Wait! Maybe "pet" as in "pet peeve" is derived from "pet" (favorite).
Let's check WordNet senses for "pet".
Noun:
1. pet, creature (a domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement)
2. darling, favorite, favourite, pet, dearie, deary, ducky (a special loved one)
3. pet, pique, temper (a fit of petulance or sulkiness, especially at what is felt to be a slight)
Adjective:
1. pet (preferred above all others and treated with partiality) "my pet peeve" "a pet project"
Verb:
1. pet (stroke or fondle)

Wait, the prompt only gives 4 senses.
1. a domesticated animal...
2. a special loved one
3. a fit of petulance...
4. using a computerized radiographic technique... (PET scan)

Wait, none of the noun senses perfectly match the adjective "pet" (favorite). But wait, could "pet" in "pet grievance" be a fit of petulance? No, "grievance" is the fit of petulance? No, "pet grievance" means a favorite grievance.
Is it possible the prompt's sense 3 is meant to cover "pet" as in "pet peeve"?
Let's check if there is an error in my mapping.
In WordNet, "pet" (noun) sense 3 is "a fit of petulance or sulkiness".
"pet" (adjective) sense 1 is "preferred above all others".
If the prompt only provides 4 senses, and none is the adjective sense, which one is the intended answer?
Wait, "pet" as in "pet grievance". Is it possible that "pet" here is considered a noun adjunct? "pet" = a special loved one? No.
Let's search for "pet grievance". "pet grievance" -> favorite grievance.
Could it be that the system extracted the wrong senses and missed the adjective sense, and expects me to pick the closest?
Wait, look at the options again.
1. definition=a domesticated animal...
2. definition=a special loved one
3. definition=a fit of petulance or sulkiness...
4. definition=using a computerized radiographic technique... (This is PET scan).

Wait, I need to output ONLY the number. If the adjective sense is missing, maybe it's 3? "a fit of petulance" -> "pet" as in "in a pet".
What if the question meant "pet" as in "pet peeve" and the labeler mistakenly chose sense 3 because it's related to "peevishness"?
Actually, "pet" (adjective) comes from "pet" (noun) meaning a favorite. Like "my pet".
Sense 2: "a special loved one" (favorite). So "pet grievance" = "favorite grievance".
Could it be sense 2? "a special loved one" -> favorite.
Let's consider WordNet synsets.
Synset 1: pet, creature (domesticated animal)
Synset 2: darling, favorite, favourite, pet, dearie, deary, ducky (a special loved one)
Synset 3: pique, temper, pet (a fit of petulance or sulkiness)
Synset 4: positron emission tomography, PET (using a computerized radiographic technique...)

Wait, "pet" as an adjective is a separate synset: "pet, favorite, favourite" (preferred above all others).
If the adjective synset is missing, which noun synset is it derived from or most closely related to?
"pet" (adjective) is derived from "pet" (noun, a favorite / special loved one).
But wait, in WiC (Word-in-Context) or similar datasets, sometimes the adjective and noun are conflated, or the sense provided is just the closest one.
Actually, if the dataset is WordNet-based, maybe the sentence is from a corpus where "pet" was tagged.
Let's search the sentence: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
This is from a book. "washing down his pet grievance"
Could "pet" here be tagged as "a special loved one" (favorite)?
Or is there an error in the prompt's sense list, and I should just guess the most logical one?
"pet grievance" = favorite grievance. "Favorite" is a synonym for "pet" (noun sense 2: a special loved one, favorite).
Wait, "pet" (noun sense 3: a fit of petulance). "pet grievance" -> a grievance that is a fit of petulance? No, "pet" modifies "grievance".
I will bet on sense 2, because "pet" as an adjective means "favorite", and "favorite" is the exact synonym in sense 2 ("a special loved one" -> darling, favorite, favourite, pet).
Wait, could it be 3? "pet" as in "pet peeve". A peeve is a fit of petulance. A grievance is a complaint. So "pet grievance" might be mapped to sense 3 by a flawed algorithm?
Let's think if "pet" in "pet project" or "pet peeve" is ever tagged as sense 3.
Usually, "pet peeve" is tagged as the adjective sense. If the adjective sense is omitted, maybe the question comes from a dataset where only noun/verb senses were considered, and the annotator chose the one that fits best.
But "pet" meaning "favorite" is definitely sense 2. "favorite" is literally in the definition of sense 2 ("darling, favorite, favourite, pet...").
Let's reconsider sense 3: "pique, temper, pet" -> "a fit of petulance". "He was in a pet."
"pet grievance" -> "favorite grievance". I'll go with 2, or maybe 3?
Wait, if it's "pet" as in "pet peeve", WordNet adjective synset is `pet.s.01` (preferred above all others).
If the system only gave noun senses and the PET scan sense, it might have missed the adjective sense.
Which noun sense is closest to "preferred above all others"?
Sense 2: "a special loved one" (favorite).
Let's think if there's any chance "pet" in "pet grievance" is considered sense 3. "grievance" is a complaint, "pet" is peevishness. "pet grievance" = peevish grievance? No, it means a grievance one particularly cherishes. "Cherishes" -> favorite -> sense 2.

Let me guess 2. Wait, "pet" as in "pet peeve" is often considered to mean "particular" or "favorite".
Let's check if there's any other meaning.
"pet" (noun):
1. animal
2. favorite
3. fit of petulance
4. PET scan
If I have to choose the sense of "pet" in "pet grievance", it means "favorite". Sense 2 has "favorite" as a synonym. So 2 is the most logical choice if the adjective sense is missing and we must map to the provided noun senses.
Wait, let me review the exact wording of sense 2: "definition=a special loved one".
Is it possible the answer is 3 because "grievance" is related to "petulance"? "pet" (noun) = fit of petulance. "pet grievance" = a grievance of petulance? No, grammatically "pet" is an adjective here.
If a WSD system tagged this, it might have failed and picked 3 due to the word "grievance" being close to "petulance" or "slight".
But "washing down his pet grievance" implies he has a specific grievance he likes to complain about (cherishes). Thus, "favorite". I will output 2.

Wait, looking at the WordNet noun senses for 'pet':
1. pet, creature
2. darling, favorite, favourite, pet, dearie, deary, ducky
3. pique, temper, pet
Could "pet grievance" be a typo in my understanding, and it's actually sense 3? No.
Let's consider if "pet" is an adjective, and the prompt simply omitted the adjective sense by mistake, but expects the noun sense it derives from. "pet" (adj) derives from "pet" (noun, a favorite). So 2.

Let me think if "pet" in "pet grievance" could be 3. "in a pet" = in a fit of petulance.
I'll output 2.
Wait, what if the intended answer is 3 because "grievance" is a "slight" (as in definition 3: "especially at what is felt to be a slight")?
"pet" (noun) = a fit of petulance or sulkiness (especially at what is felt to be a slight).
"grievance" = a real or imagined cause for complaint, especially unfair treatment (a slight).
So "pet grievance" might be incorrectly mapped to sense 3 by an automated sense tagger because of the semantic overlap between "grievance" and "slight".
However, "pet" in "pet grievance" is an adjective meaning "favorite". A human annotator would not choose 3. If this is from a dataset like Word-in-Context (WiC) or similar, they use WordNet. In WordNet, "pet" as an adjective is a separate synset. If it's not listed, maybe the question is from a dataset where only noun senses were retrieved, and the correct label was "None of the above" or it was mapped to the closest.
Actually, if the prompt doesn't have the adjective sense, I should probably pick the one that shares the root meaning. "pet" (favorite) -> sense 2.
I'll go with 2.
Wait, could it be 3? "pet" as in "pet peeve". A peeve is a fit of petulance.
Let's search my knowledge base for "pet grievance". It's a common phrase, like "pet peeve".
If I have to bet, "favorite" is the meaning. Sense 2 is "a special loved one" (which means favorite). I will output 2.
Let me reconsider 3. "a fit of petulance". If someone has a "pet grievance", they are harboring a fit of petulance? No, it's a specific grievance.
I'll output 2.
Wait, is there any possibility it's 1? No. 4? No.
Let me choose 2.
Actually, let me think if "pet" in "pet project" or "pet peeve" is ever classified under sense 3. No, it's classified under the adjective sense. Since the adjective sense is missing, 2 is the closest in meaning (favorite).
Wait, "pet" (adj) is defined as "preferred above all others and treated with partiality". "favorite" (noun) is "a special loved one". They share the concept of "favorite".
I will output 2.

3. definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet <t>grievance</t> with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
The word "grievance" here means a complaint or a resentment that someone holds onto ("pet grievance").
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation | examples=holding a grudge
2. definition=an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
3. definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

"pet grievance" usually refers to a favorite complaint or a cherished resentment.
Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action". "pet complaint" is a common collocation. Wait, "grievance" as a complaint.
Let's check WordNet senses for "grievance":
1. grievance, grudge (a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation) "holding a grudge"
2. grievance (an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice)
3. grievance (a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action)

In the sentence, "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon". "Pet grievance" means a favorite complaint.
Wait, "pet grievance" is an idiomatic expression meaning a favorite topic of complaint.
Sense 3 fits "complaint".
Let's double check.
Sense 1: resentment strong enough to justify retaliation.
Sense 3: a complaint about a wrong.
"pet grievance" -> "pet complaint".
Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let me think if "pet grievance" could be sense 1. "holding a grudge" vs "a complaint". You "wash down" a complaint (by talking about it or just brooding over it while drinking). Actually, "pet grievance" means a particular complaint that someone frequently brings up. So Sense 3.

Let's read the sentence again: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
This sounds like a quote from a book. P.G. Wodehouse? Or similar.
"pet grievance" -> complaint.

I will output 3.
There is no ambiguity. Sense 3 is "complaint".
Sense 1 is "resentment / grudge".
Sense 2 is "legal allegation".

Output: 3.

Which numbered sense of "water" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with <t>water</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent
2. definition=the part of the earth's surface covered with water (such as a river or lake or ocean) | examples=they invaded our territorial waters
3. definition=once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles)
4. definition=a facility that provides a source of water | examples=the town debated the purification of the water supply
5. definition=liquid excretory product | examples=there was blood in his urine
6. definition=a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants | examples=he asked for a drink of water

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with <t>water</t>."
The word is "water".
The context is about adding water to bourbon (a drink).
Let's look at the senses:
1. binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid... (the chemical substance H2O)
2. the part of the earth's surface covered with water...
3. once thought to be one of four elements...
4. a facility that provides a source of water...
5. liquid excretory product...
6. a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants | examples=he asked for a drink of water

Wait, sense 6 is "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants" (often used to mean drinking water).
Sense 1 is the chemical substance.
In WordNet, "water" as a drink is usually sense 6 (or sense 1?). Let's check WordNet senses for "water".
Sense 1: binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent.
Sense 2: the part of the earth's surface covered with water (such as a river or lake or ocean).
Sense 3: once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles).
Sense 4: a facility that provides a source of water.
Sense 5: liquid excretory product.
Sense 6: a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants; "he asked for a drink of water".

Is "bourbon slightly moistened with water" sense 1 or sense 6?
Usually, when referring to the substance added to a drink, it's the chemical substance (sense 1) or the drinking liquid (sense 6).
Wait, "moistened with water". Here water is used as a solvent/liquid substance.
Actually, in WordNet, the sense "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants" is specifically for drinking water (e.g., "drink of water").
But "bourbon slightly moistened with water" might just be the substance H2O (sense 1).
Let's consider "moistened with water". Moistening implies using the liquid substance.
Let's check if there's a distinction. "water" in "moistened with water" -> sense 1.
Wait, let's think about "water" in "a drink of water" -> sense 6.
What about "water" in "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water"?
Usually, sense 1 is the most general and covers "moistened with water".
Let's review the exact WordNet definitions.
Noun:
1. water, H2O (binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent)
2. water (the part of the earth's surface covered with water (such as a river or lake or ocean)) "they invaded our territorial waters"
3. water (once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles))
4. water system, water supply, water (a facility that provides a source of water) "the town debated the purification of the water supply"
5. urine, piss, piddle, weewee, water, pee (liquid excretory product) "there was blood in his urine"
6. water (a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants) "he asked for a drink of water"

In the sentence "bourbon slightly moistened with water", water is used as a liquid/solvent to moisten the bourbon. It is not being consumed purely as "a liquid necessary for life" (like asking for a drink of water to quench thirst), but rather as an additive/solvent. Thus, Sense 1 is more appropriate.
Wait, could it be Sense 1? Yes, "widely used as a solvent".
Let's check if Sense 1 is the correct label for this specific sentence in the SemCor or similar dataset.
Sentence: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
This is a quote from a book. "pet grievance" -> maybe Raymond Chandler or similar?
Actually, it's from a known corpus.
If it is from SemCor, "water" as an additive to alcohol is usually Sense 1.
Let's double check. Sense 1: binary compound... widely used as a solvent.
Sense 6: a liquid necessary for the life... "he asked for a drink of water".
I will output 1.

Let's quickly reconsider if it could be 6. "washing down... with bourbon... moistened with water". The water is part of the drink. But "moistened with" emphasizes the physical liquid properties. I'll bet on 1.
Wait, "moistened with water" - water here is just the substance. Sense 1.
Let me be confident in 1.
Another example: "add water to the mixture" -> Sense 1.
"drink of water" -> Sense 6.
Here it is "moistened with water", so Sense 1.
I will return 1.

Which numbered sense of "favorite" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: This <t>favorite</t> grievance was not the landlord.

Senses:
1. definition=appealing to the general public | examples=a favorite tourist attraction
2. definition=preferred above all others and treated with partiality | examples=the favored child

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "This <t>favorite</t> grievance was not the landlord."
The word is "favorite".
Sense 1: appealing to the general public (e.g., a favorite tourist attraction)
Sense 2: preferred above all others and treated with partiality (e.g., the favored child)

Wait, "favorite grievance". A grievance that is preferred above all others, or one that is most often complained about, held dear by the person complaining. It means "preferred above all others" in a somewhat ironic or specific sense (the grievance they like to complain about the most).
Sense 2 fits "preferred above all others".
Let's double check. "favorite" as an adjective modifying "grievance". "preferred above all others and treated with partiality".
Could it be Sense 1? "appealing to the general public". No, a grievance is not appealing to the general public.

Therefore, Sense 2.
Let's review the exact definitions from WordNet.
favorite (adj)
1. appealing to the general public; "a favorite tourist attraction"
2. preferred above all others and treated with partiality; "the favored child"

"favorite grievance" -> the grievance preferred above all others (by the person holding it). So Sense 2.
Number: 2.

Sentence: This favorite <t>grievance</t> was not the landlord.

Senses:
1. definition=a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation | examples=holding a grudge
2. definition=an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
3. definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

The word is "grievance".
Senses:
1. a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation (holding a grudge)
2. an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
3. a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

Wait, "favorite grievance" usually means a favorite complaint. Like "his favorite grievance was that the landlord..."
Wait, if it's "This favorite grievance was not the landlord", it means the favorite complaint was not about the landlord.
Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action".
Let's check WordNet.
grievance (noun)
1. grudge, grievance, score (a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation) "holding a grudge"
2. grievance (an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice)
3. grievance (a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action)

"favorite grievance" -> complaint.
Sense 3 is "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong..."

Let's double check.
Sentence: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord." -> "grievance" means complaint.
So it is Sense 3.
Are there other contexts? "He aired his favorite grievance." -> complaint.
Yes, Sense 3.
Let's confirm if it could be 1. "holding a grudge" - "favorite grudge"? "favorite grievance" usually means a complaint one likes to bring up.
Therefore, Sense 3.
I will return 3.

3. definition=forget to do something | examples=Don't forget to call the chairman of the board to the meeting!

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "He had already quite forgotten about him."

Sense 2: be unable to remember. Example: "I'm drawing a blank".
Sense 3: forget to do something.
Sense 4: leave behind unintentionally.

"Forget about [someone/something]" usually means to dismiss from the mind, stop thinking about, or stop remembering.
Let's check WordNet senses for "forget".
1. forget, bury - dismiss from the mind; stop remembering; "I tried to bury these unpleasant memories"
2. forget, block, blank out, draw a blank - be unable to remember; "I'm drawing a blank"; "You are blocking the name of your first wife!"
3. forget, forget to - forget to do something; "Don't forget to call the chairman of the board to the meeting!"

Which numbered sense of "mention" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: In fact, he had only <t>mentioned</t> him on the spur of the moment.

1. definition=make reference to | examples=His name was mentioned in connection with the invention
2. definition=make mention of | examples=She observed that his presentation took up too much time
3. definition=commend | examples=he was cited for his outstanding achievements

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "In fact, he had only <t>mentioned</t> him on the spur of the moment."
The word is "mentioned".
Senses:
1. make reference to (His name was mentioned in connection with the invention)
2. make mention of (She observed that his presentation took up too much time) -> Wait, the example for 2 is "observed", but the definition is "make mention of". Actually, WordNet sense for mention:
Sense 1: mention, advert, bring up, cite, name, refer (make reference to) "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention"
Sense 2: mention, note, observe, remark (make mention of) "She observed that his presentation took up too much time"
Sense 3: mention, cite (commend) "he was cited for his outstanding achievements"

In the sentence "In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment.", "mentioned" means to refer to or speak of briefly.
Let's look at the options.
"make reference to" vs "make mention of".
Usually, "mention" as in "mentioned him" aligns with Sense 1 (make reference to, refer to).
Wait, "mention" (verb)
1. make reference to
2. make mention of (often used with a clause, e.g., "She mentioned that...")
Let's check the context: "mentioned him". This is referring to a person. "make reference to" fits best.

Let's double check WordNet.
Verb: mention
1. mention, advert, bring up, cite, name, refer (make reference to) "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention"
2. mention, note, observe, remark (make mention of) "She observed that his presentation took up too much time"
3. mention, cite (commend) "he was cited for his outstanding achievements"

"mentioned him" -> refer to him. Sense 1.

Let's confirm if Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
"mentioned him" -> "make reference to".
Yes, Sense 1.

8. definition=(of property) fixed or immovable | examples=real property consists of land and buildings
9. definition=coinciding with reality; - F.A.Olafson | examples=perceptual error...has a surprising resemblance to veridical perception

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "His <t>real</t> grievance was Lolly."
The word "real" here means the actual, true, or genuine reason/grievance, as opposed to a stated or superficial one.
Let's look at the senses:
1. being or occurring in fact or actuality... (real objects)
2. no less than what is stated; worthy of the name (the real reason) -> "His real grievance" is very similar to "the real reason". Wait, sense 2 definition: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". Example: "the real reason".
Wait, sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" (her actual motive).
Let's check WordNet senses for "real".
Sense 1: being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory; "real objects"; "real life"; "a real illness"
Sense 2: no less than what is stated; worthy of the name; "the real reason"; "her real interest in art"
Sense 3: not to be taken lightly; "statistics demonstrate that poverty and unemployment are very real problems"
Sense 4: capable of being treated as fact; "tangible evidence"
Sense 5: being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; "her actual motive"; "a real friend" -> wait, WordNet sense for actual/real: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" - "her actual motive", "the real reason"?
Let's search for "His real grievance was Lolly."
Wait, "the real reason" is the example for sense 2. "His real grievance" is structurally identical to "the real reason".
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "the real reason".
Is "real grievance" sense 2?
Let's consider "real" as in "the real reason". "His real grievance was Lolly" means the true grievance, the one that is actually the reason, no less than what is stated.
Actually, let's look at sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". Example: "the real reason".
What about sense 1? "real objects".
Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". Example: "her actual motive". (Wait, the lemma might be "actual" but the synset includes "real"? "actual" and "real" are in the same synset? WordNet: actual, real (being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something) "her actual motive", "the real reason"? No, "the real reason" is in sense 2.
Wait, let's check WordNet 3.1:
Synset 1: real (being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory) "real objects"
Synset 2: real (no less than what is stated; worthy of the name) "the real reason"
Synset 3: real (not to be taken lightly) "very real problems"
Synset 4: real (capable of being treated as fact) "tangible evidence" -> wait, tangible is the word? No, real, tangible.
Synset 5: actual, real (being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something) "her actual motive"
Synset 6: real (of, relating to, or representing an amount that is corrected for inflation) "real prices"
Synset 7: real, substantial (having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary) "the substantial world"
Synset 8: real (of property) fixed or immovable "real property"
Synset 9: veridical, real (coinciding with reality)

"His real grievance was Lolly."
Could it be sense 2? "the real reason" -> "real grievance".
Could it be sense 5? "actual motive" -> "real grievance".
Usually, "the real reason" and "his real grievance" are the same sense. In WordNet, "the real reason" is the example for sense 2. "real grievance" means the true grievance, the one that actually exists as the cause, which perfectly matches "the real reason".
Let's confirm if "real grievance" might be from a specific corpus, like the Brown Corpus or similar, where it was tagged.
Sentence: "His real grievance was Lolly."
This is from a novel. "His real grievance was Lolly."
If it maps to "the real reason", it's Sense 2.
Let's review Sense 2 definition: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". This definition fits "the real reason" (as in, the reason that is actually the reason, not a fake one). "His real grievance" means the grievance that is actually the grievance.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check Sense 2 vs Sense 5.
Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". Example: "her actual motive", "a real friend".
"His real grievance" -> a grievance is a cause of distress, a reason for complaint. It functions exactly like "reason". Thus, Sense 2.

I will output 2.
Wait, is there any chance it's 2? Yes.
Let me check if 2 is exactly "the real reason". Yes.
I am confident in 2.

Which numbered sense of "grievance" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: His real <t>grievance</t> was Lolly.

Senses:
1. definition=a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation | examples=holding a grudge
2. definition=an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
3. definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "His real grievance was Lolly."
The word "grievance" here refers to a source of resentment or a complaint about a wrong. Lolly is the person or thing causing the resentment/complaint.
Sense 1: a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation (holding a grudge)
Sense 2: an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation...
Sense 3: a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action.

Wait, is it Sense 3? "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action" -> "His real grievance was Lolly" implies Lolly was the cause of his complaint/resentment.
Let's check WordNet senses for grievance.
1. grievance, score, grudge (a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation) "holding a grudge"
2. grievance (an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice)
3. grievance (a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action)

"His real grievance was Lolly." -> Lolly is the subject of his complaint. So it's Sense 3.
Wait, let's think if it could be 3. "complaint about a wrong".
Let's search for the exact sentence "His real grievance was Lolly."
It might be from a corpus. "grievance" sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action".
Example: "he has a grievance against the company".
Wait, could it be 3? Yes, "His real grievance was Lolly" means his real complaint/source of resentment was Lolly.

Let's review the senses again:
1: resentment (holding a grudge)
2: legal allegation
3: complaint about a wrong

"His real grievance was Lolly." -> Lolly is the thing he is complaining about. So it's a complaint. Sense 3.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" - usually "he has a grievance" means he has a resentment. But "His grievance was Lolly" means the *object* of his grievance or the *cause* of his complaint was Lolly.
Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong..."
I will output 3.
Wait, what if it's 3?
Yes, 3 fits best.
I'll output 3.

13. definition=a piece of cloth that is left over after the rest has been used or sold
14. definition=(American football) a position on the line of scrimmage | examples=no one wanted to play end

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Toward the <t>end</t> of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."
The word "end" is used in the context of "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball".
A "highball" is a drink. "Toward the end of his fourth highball" means toward the time when he finishes drinking it, or the final part of the drink.
Let's look at the senses:
1. either extremity of something that has length
2. the point in time at which something ends (e.g., the end of the year)
3. the concluding parts of an event or occurrence (e.g., the end was exciting)
4. the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve
5. a final part or section (e.g., we have given it at the end of the section)
6. a final state
7. the surface at either extremity of a 3D object
8. football
9. a boundary
10. one of two places
11. the part you are expected to play
12. the last section of a communication
13. a piece of cloth
14. American football position

Wait, "end of his fourth highball" could be the point in time at which drinking it ends, or the final part of the drink (as an event/occurrence or physical object).
Let's consider "the end of the year" (time).
"the end of the pier" (physical).
"the end of his fourth highball" - highball is a drink, but drinking it is an event. Is it time or physical? Usually, "toward the end of [drink]" means as he was finishing it.
Could it be 2 (point in time)? Or 3 (concluding parts of an event)? Or 5 (final part or section)?
Let's check WordNet senses for "end".
Sense 1: end, terminal (either extremity of something that has length) "the end of the pier"
Sense 2: end, ending (the point in time at which something ends) "the end of the year"
Sense 3: end, ending, conclusion (the concluding parts of an event or occurrence) "the end was exciting"
Sense 5: end (a final part or section) "we have given it at the end of the section"

Wait, "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" -> highball is a drink. But "toward the end of" an event like drinking a highball.
Actually, let's think about "the end of the day", "the end of the year" -> Sense 2.
"the end of the story" -> Sense 3 or 5?
What about "the end of his fourth highball"?
Let's search for similar examples. "end of his meal", "end of his drink".
In WordNet, "end" as "the point in time at which something ends" includes "the end of the year", "the end of the day".
Wait, could it be "the point in time at which something ends"?
Let's check if there is a more fitting sense.
"the end of the road" -> 1 or 9.
"the end of the line" -> 1.
"the end of the story" -> 3.
"toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" - this means toward the time he finishes it. So it's the point in time at which something ends (Sense 2), or the concluding parts of an event (Sense 3)?
Actually, "end" in "end of the year" is time. "end of the highball" - a highball is a physical drink, but consuming it takes time. "Toward the end of" usually refers to a temporal period. "Toward the end of the month", "toward the end of the movie".
Let's consider Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends".
Let's consider Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence". Example: "the end was exciting".
Is "his fourth highball" an event? Drinking it is.
But usually, "toward the end of [time period / event]" maps to Sense 2 if it's considered a temporal point, or maybe Sense 2 is "the point in time".
Wait, WordNet sense for "end" (the point in time at which something ends): "the end of the year", "the end of the semester".
What about "the end of the meal"?
Let's look at Sense 2 again. "the point in time at which something ends".
Let's look at Sense 5: "a final part or section". "we have given it at the end of the section since it involves the calculus".
I will guess Sense 2 because "toward the end of" is a temporal expression here, meaning "when he was about to finish".

Wait, let's re-read carefully: "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball"
Could it be Sense 2? Yes, "the point in time at which something ends".
Let's check if "end" can mean the physical bottom of the glass? No, "bottom of the glass" is used later.
I'll go with Sense 2.

Let me rethink. Is "his fourth hairy highball" an event? No, it's a drink. The event is drinking it. So "end of his fourth highball" means the end of the time spent drinking it. Thus, point in time.
Wait, "end" as in "the last part of a physical object"? "the end of the loaf". A highball is a liquid in a glass. You don't really have an "end" of a liquid. You have the end of the *drinking* of it. So it's temporal. Sense 2.

Let me double check Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
Sense 2: the point in time at which something ends. (the end of the year)
Sense 3: the concluding parts of an event or occurrence. (the end was exciting)
"toward the end of..." usually refers to the concluding part of a time period or event. If "end" means the concluding part, it might be Sense 3? But Sense 3's example is "the end was exciting", where "end" is the subject, meaning the conclusion. "Toward the end of" is a prepositional phrase indicating time. I'll bet on Sense 2.

Actually, in WordNet, "toward the end of" is often associated with the temporal sense.
Let's choose 2.
Wait, let's consider if "end" here means "the point in time at which something ends". Yes.
I will output 2.

Wait, "making wet rings" - creating them.
Could it be 3? "make or cause to be or to become" (make a mess in one's office).
Could it be 6? "create or manufacture a man-made product".
Could it be 15? "make by shaping or bringing together constituents" (make a dress).
Let's check WordNet senses for "make".
"make a mess" is sense 3.
"make rings" - is it creating something?
Wait, what about "make a mark"?
Let's reconsider sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become" -> "make a mess", "make a noise".
Is there a better fit?
Wait, "make wet rings" -> creating wet rings.
Let's look at sense 3: make or cause to be or to become. Examples: make a mess in one's office.
What about sense 15: make by shaping or bringing together constituents.
What about sense 17: make by combining materials and parts.
What about sense 6: create or manufacture a man-made product.
Actually, in WordNet, "make" (create, make) -> "make a mess" is under "make, create" (Sense: make or cause to be or to become). Wait, "make a mess" is usually "make, create" (cause to be).
Let's check the exact WordNet definition for "make a mess".
Sense: make, create (make or cause to be or to become) "make a mess in one's office"; "create a new movement in painting" -> this is WordNet synset `make.v.03` or similar.
Let's check `make.v.03`: make or cause to be or to become. Examples: "make a mess in one's office", "create a new movement in painting".
Wait, `make.v.01` is "make, produce" (create or manufacture a man-made product).
`make.v.05` is "make, form" (make, formulate, or derive in the mind).
`make.v.15` is "make, create" (create by artistic means).
`make.v.24` is "make, do" (carry out or commit) "make a mistake".
"making wet rings on the table-top" -> creating wet rings by condensation. This is causing them to be. So sense 3.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"make a mark" -> maybe sense 3?
Yes, "make a mess", "make a noise", "make a mark", "make a face" are all under "make or cause to be or to become" (WordNet `make.v.03` or `create.v.02`).
Wait, WordNet 3.1:
make, create (make or cause to be or to become) "make a mess in one's office"; "create a new movement in painting"
This perfectly matches sense 3.

Let's review the sentence again: "while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass"
He is causing wet rings to be on the table-top.
Sense 3: definition=make or cause to be or to become | examples=make a mess in one's office

Let's check if it could be 16 (perform or carry out - make a decision). No.
Could it be 24 (carry out or commit - make a mistake). No.
Could it be 15 (make by shaping - make a dress). No.
Could it be 17 (make by combining - made his house out of straw). No.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the most appropriate.
I will return 3.
There's no other sense that fits "making wet rings" better than "make or cause to be or to become".
Let me re-read the options.
3. definition=make or cause to be or to become | examples=make a mess in one's office
This matches the typical WordNet grouping for "make a mess", "make a noise", "make a mark", "make rings".
I am confident in 3.
End of thought.
