reasoning_content:
The context is: "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."
The target word is "head".
The phrase is "his head seemingly sunk in thought".
This refers to the physical head (the upper part of the human body) being sunk in thought, or perhaps the mind? Wait, "head sunk in thought" usually means the physical head is bowed or lowered in thought.
Let's check the senses.
Sense 1: the upper part of the human body or the front part of the body in animals; contains the face and brains. Examples: he stuck his head out the window.
Sense 3: that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason. Synonyms: mind, brain, psyche, nous. Examples: his mind wandered; I couldn't get his words out of my head.

Wait, "his head seemingly sunk in thought" - does it mean his physical head was bowed, or his mind was sunk in thought?
"his head seemingly sunk in thought" -> "head" is the physical head, which is sunk (lowered). You sink your physical head.
Let's see: "his head seemingly sunk in thought" -> "head" is the physical head.
If it were mind, it would be "his mind sunk in thought". But "head sunk" implies the physical posture.
Let's check sense 1: "the upper part of the human body or the front part of the body in animals; contains the face and brains"
Is there any other sense?
Sense 1 fits "his head seemingly sunk in thought" perfectly, as it describes the physical posture of the stranger.

Let's read the sentence again: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light..."
Yes, "head" here refers to the physical head.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check if "head" could be sense 3. "his head seemingly sunk in thought" - "sunk" is a physical action applied to the head. You don't "sink" a mind. You sink your head.
Therefore, sense 1.

"started to cross" -> take the first step or steps in carrying out an action.
Sense 1 fits perfectly. "We began working at dawn" -> "started to cross the street".
Let's double check.
"started to cross" is an intransitive use of start followed by an infinitive, meaning to begin doing something.
Sense 1: take the first step or steps in carrying out an action.
Synonyms: get down, begin, get, start out, set about, set out.
Examples: We began working at dawn; Who will start?
This matches "started to cross".

Let's check sense 9: begin or set in motion. Examples: I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!
Sense 1 is the most appropriate for "started to [verb]".

Therefore, sense 1 is the best.
Context: "started to cross the street"
Sense 1: take the first step or steps in carrying out an action.
Yes.

The context is: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the <t>light</t> just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."
The word "light" here refers to a traffic light, which is a visual warning signal or a device serving as a source of illumination, but specifically a traffic signal.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. electromagnetic radiation
2. any device serving as a source of illumination (light source)
10. mental understanding
14. a visual warning signal (they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner)
Wait, "against the light" means against the traffic light.
Is it sense 14? "a visual warning signal"
Or sense 2? "any device serving as a source of illumination"
Let's look at sense 14: "a visual warning signal" - examples: "they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner". A traffic light is a visual warning signal.
Let's look at sense 2: "any device serving as a source of illumination" - examples: "he stopped the car and turned off the lights".
Wait, traffic light is a visual warning signal.
Let's check WordNet for "traffic light".
Actually, "light" in "against the light" refers to a traffic light.
Is there a specific sense for traffic light?
Sense 14: "a visual warning signal" -> examples: "they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner".
Let's consider "light" as a traffic signal.
In WordNet, "light" has a sense: "a visual warning signal" (light%1:10:00::).
Let's check the examples for sense 14: "they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner".
Wait, could it be sense 14? Yes, a traffic light is a visual warning signal.
Let's re-read the context: "started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."
This is definitely a traffic light.
Is a traffic light a "visual warning signal"? Yes.
Let's check if there's any other sense.
Sense 14: light%1:10:00:: definition=a visual warning signal | examples=they saw the light of the beacon; there was a light at every corner.
Sense 2: light%1:06:00:: definition=any device serving as a source of illumination.
A traffic light is primarily a visual warning signal, not just a source of illumination.
Therefore, sense 14 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"against the light" -> traffic light.
Traffic light = visual warning signal.
I will choose 14.
Wait, let's review sense 14: "a visual warning signal".
Yes, "light" in this context is a traffic light, which is a visual warning signal.
I am confident in 14.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "horn".
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."
The horn is associated with a "huge moving van" and "brakes howled". It's a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. noisemaker (parties/games)
2. bony outgrowths on heads of ungulates
3. a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning
4. high pommel of a Western saddle
5. brass musical instrument (cornet, trumpet)
6. hard protuberance from the head of an organism
7. material (keratin)
8. device having the shape of a horn
9. an alarm device that makes a loud warning sound
10. brass musical instrument (French horn)
11. a device on an automobile for making a warning noise

Wait, sense 3 is "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning".
Sense 11 is "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise".
The text says "a horn blared furiously". A horn blares. Is it the noise or the device?
"a horn blared" -> the device blared, or the noise blared?
Let's look at sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
Let's look at sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
Usually, "a horn blared" refers to the device making the noise, or the noise itself.
Wait, let's check WordNet.
horn%1:10:02:: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
horn%1:06:05:: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
If the text says "a horn blared", it's the device that blares. "The horn blared".
Wait, sense 3 is "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning".
Let's see: "a horn blared furiously". Can a noise blare? "A noise blared" is redundant. "A horn blared" means the device blared.
Let's check the examples for horn%1:06:05:: (device on an automobile).
Actually, "a horn blared" -> the device.
Let's consider "horn" as the device.
Is there any other sense?
Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
In WordNet, "blare" is often used with the device. "The horn blared."
Let's choose sense 11.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously".
If I say "a horn blared", it's the device.
Let's check if there's any distinction.
"horn" (device) = sense 11.
"horn" (noise) = sense 3.
"a horn blared" -> the device blared.
I will go with 11.
Wait, let's look at similar examples. "He sounded the horn." -> device.
"a horn blared" -> device.
Let's choose 11.
Wait, could it be 3? "a noise made by the driver..."
If the text says "a horn blared", "horn" is the subject. A device can blare. A noise can blare? "A noise blared" is weird. "A horn blared" means the device.
I'll select 11.
Let's double check.
Sense 11: a device on an automobile for making a warning noise | synonyms=automobile horn, car horn, motor horn, hooter
Yes, 11 is the best fit.
Another option: 9. an alarm device that makes a loud warning sound. But 11 is specifically for automobile. The context mentions "huge moving van", "brakes howled", "cross the street against the light". So it's an automobile horn.
Therefore, 11.

The context is: "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."
The target word is "hit".
The man would have been hit by the moving van.
This means the van would have come into sudden contact with the man.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. cause to move by striking
2. hit against; come into sudden contact with (synonyms: strike, impinge on, run into, collide with; examples: The car hit a tree)
3. deal a blow to
4. reach a destination
5. affect or afflict suddenly

Sense 2 fits perfectly: "hit against; come into sudden contact with". The moving van would have hit the man (come into sudden contact with him).
Let's double check.
"the man would have been hit" -> passive of "the van would have hit the man".
Sense 2: "hit against; come into sudden contact with". Example: "The car hit a tree".
This is exactly the sense.
Index is 2.

No, the man was not drunk He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger. But, of course, he remembered now. 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 <t>called out</t> to him a second before.

The target lemma is "call_out" and the surface form is "called out".
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."
The context explicitly mentions "His shout had been involuntary".
Candidate senses:
1. utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy (synonyms: exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, shout)
2. call out loudly, as of names or numbers
3. challenge to a duel

Sense 1 matches "shout" and "utter aloud" in a situation of surprise/horror (to prevent someone from being hit).
Sense 2 is for names or numbers.
Sense 3 is for duels.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "His shout had been involuntary" -> shout is a synonym for sense 1.

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

reasoning_content:
The target word is "second" in the context: "but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."
The phrase is "a second before", meaning a very short time before.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. 1/60 of a minute
2. an indefinitely short time (synonyms: moment, mo, minute, bit; examples: wait just a moment; in a mo)
3. second base
4. a particular point in time (synonyms: moment, minute, instant; examples: the moment he arrived the party began)
5. following the first in an ordering or series
6. a 60th part of a minute of arc
7. official attendant
8. speech seconding a motion
9. second gear
10. merchandise that has imperfections

In "a second before", "second" means an indefinitely short time. "a second" = "a moment".
Sense 2: "an indefinitely short time" fits perfectly.
Let's double check sense 4: "a particular point in time". "a second before" refers to a duration of a short time, not a particular point in time. "in a second" or "a second before" uses the "indefinitely short time" sense.
Wait, "a second before" -> "a moment before".
Sense 2 is "an indefinitely short time".
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "wait just a moment; in a mo".
Yes, "a second" is used as an indefinitely short time.
I will choose sense 2.
Context: "called out to him a second before."
"a second" = a very short time.
Sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "done" (lemma: do).
Context: "His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment."
The meaning here is to perform an action, to carry out or perform an action.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. engage in (make love, not war)
2. carry out or perform an action (perform, execute) - "John did the painting..."
3. get (something) done (perform) - "I did my job"

7. be sufficient
8. create or design
9. behave in a certain manner
10. spend time in prison
11. carry on or function
12. arrange attractively
13. travel or traverse

"something anybody might have done without thinking" -> carry out or perform an action.
Sense 2: carry out or perform an action.
Let's double check. "done" here means performed an action (shouting).
"something anybody might have done" -> performed.
Sense 2 fits perfectly.
Let's review Sense 2: sense_key=do%2:36:01:: | definition=carry out or perform an action | synonyms=perform, execute | examples=John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters; the skater executed a triple pirouette.
Yes, "done" = performed.
Sense 3 is "get (something) done" (I did my job).
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Context: "His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking..."
"done" = performed.
I will choose 2.

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

reasoning_content:
The target word is "cared" in the context: "As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit."
The context implies that Phil would not have felt concern or interest if the guy had been hit.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. care%2:37:02:: feel concern or interest (I really care about my work; I don't care)
2. care%2:41:13:: provide care for
3. care%2:37:00:: prefer or wish to do something
4. care%2:41:11:: be in charge of, act on, or dispose of
5. care%2:37:12:: be concerned with (worry)

"wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit" means he wouldn't have felt concern or interest.
Sense 1: "feel concern or interest" -> "I don't care" matches "wouldn't have cared at all".
Sense 5: "be concerned with" (worry) -> "I worry about my grades". But "care" here is more about feeling concern or interest in the outcome, matching "I don't care".
Let's re-read Sense 1: "feel concern or interest". Example: "I don't care".
Context: "he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit."
This perfectly matches "feel concern or interest" (Sense 1).

Let's check Sense 1 vs Sense 5.
Sense 1: feel concern or interest. "I don't care"
Sense 5: be concerned with. "I worry about my grades"
"wouldn't have cared at all" -> "I don't care".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Double check:
"he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit."
He wouldn't have felt concern or interest.
Yes, Sense 1.

Target lemma: open
Target surface form: opened
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.
