reasoning_content:
The context is: "He'd have to start going to some of the other places again."

Let's check sense 2: "any area set aside for a particular purpose" (synonyms: property). Examples: "who owns this place?"
Wait, is there a better sense?

Let's re-read the senses.
1. topographic point, spot
2. any area set aside for a particular purpose (property)
4. a general vicinity
7. where you live at a particular time (home)
9. the particular portion of space occupied by something
14. a public square with room for pedestrians

Wait, "going to some of the other places again" - "places" as in bars, restaurants, etc.
Is it sense 2? "any area set aside for a particular purpose"
Let's check WordNet for "place".
place%1:15:02:: is a public square.
place%1:15:00:: is a point located with respect to surface features.
place%1:15:04:: is any area set aside for a particular purpose.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: property.
Is there another sense?
What about "place" meaning "establishment"?
In WordNet, "place" as an establishment is often under "any area set aside for a particular purpose" or maybe "a general vicinity"?
Let's consider "place" as in "a building or establishment".
WordNet 3.1:

"going to some of the other places again" -> "places" meaning establishments, like bars.
Sense 2: "any area set aside for a particular purpose" (synonyms: property). Examples: "who owns this place?"
Is there a better fit?
What about sense 4: "a general vicinity"? No.
Sense 1: "a point located with respect to surface features of some region" (topographic point, spot). Example: "this is a nice place for a picnic".
Sense 2: "any area set aside for a particular purpose". Example: "who owns this place?"
In WordNet, "place" meaning "establishment" (like a place of business, a bar, a restaurant) is often mapped to "any area set aside for a particular purpose" (place%1:15:04::).
Let's check the examples for place%1:15:04:: "who owns this place?; the president was concerned about the property across from the White House".
Yes, "place" as in "a place to go" (like a bar, a restaurant, a hangout) fits "any area set aside for a particular purpose".
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"place" as in "a building or establishment" is not explicitly named, but "any area set aside for a particular purpose" covers it.
Wait, let's look at the context: "He'd have to start going to some of the other places again."
This refers to bars or hangouts.
Could it be sense 2? Yes.
Let's review the options.
1. topographic point, spot
2. any area set aside for a particular purpose
3. an abstract mental location
4. a general vicinity
5. the post or function properly or customarily occupied or served by another
6. a particular situation
7. where you live at a particular time
8. a job in an organization
9. the particular portion of space occupied by something
10. proper or designated social situation
11. a space reserved for sitting
12. the passage that is being read
13. proper or appropriate position or location
14. a public square with room for pedestrians
15. an item on a list or in a sequence
16. a blank area

"places" in "going to some of the other places" means establishments.
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's confirm.
"who owns this place?" -> establishment.
"going to some of the other places" -> establishments.
Therefore, sense 2 is the correct choice.
I will output {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "low" in the context: "In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back."
The phrase is "low voice, almost whispering".
This indicates the volume of the voice is very low.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. less than normal in degree or intensity or amount (low prices)
2. literal meanings; being at or having a relatively small elevation or upward extension (low ceilings)
3. very low in volume (low-toned, a low murmur)
4. unrefined in character (low comedy)
5. used of sounds and voices; low in pitch or frequency (low-pitched)
6. of the most contemptible kind (abject, low-down)

8. no longer sufficient (depleted)
9. subdued or brought low in condition or status (broken, crushed)
10. filled with melancholy and despondency (gloomy, depressed)

The context says "low voice, almost whispering". Whispering is about volume, not pitch.
Sense 3: "very low in volume", examples: "a low murmur; the low-toned murmur of the surf".
Sense 5: "used of sounds and voices; low in pitch or frequency".
Since it says "almost whispering", it refers to volume.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "low voice, almost whispering" -> very low in volume.
Yes, sense 3.
Sense 3 is `low%5:00:00:soft:04`.
I will output `{"sense_index": 3}`.

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "the distinctive quality or pitch or condition of a person's speech". "In a low voice, almost whispering" and "showed in his face or voice" both refer to the quality/pitch/condition of his speech.

"low voice, almost whispering" -> distinctive quality or pitch.
"showed in his face or voice" -> condition of a person's speech.
Sense 1 is the best match.

The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow. Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man. He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing. Was he going to be saddled from now on with a creep for a bar - buddy?

Wait, "asked Phil if he was happy" -> "address a question to and expect an answer from" (sense 5) or "inquire about" (sense 1)?
Let's check the examples for sense 5: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother".
Wait, sense 1: "inquire about" -> "I asked about their special today".
Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from". The syntax is "ask [someone] [question]". "asked Phil if he was happy".
Let's see: "asked Phil if he was happy" -> "address a question to and expect an answer from".
Is it sense 1 or sense 5?
"asked Phil if he was happy" -> "ask [person] [question]".
Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from".
Let's check WordNet for "ask".
ask%2:32:00:: inquire about (I asked about their special today)
ask%2:32:04:: address a question to and expect an answer from (Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother)
In the context: "the man had asked Phil if he was happy..."
This is addressing a question to Phil.
Let's look at sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from".
Wait, sense 1 is "inquire about".
"asked Phil if he was happy" -> "asked [person] [question]".
Sense 5 fits "ask [person] [question]".
Let's check sense 5 examples: "The children asked me about their dead grandmother".
"asked Phil if he was happy" -> "asked [person] [question]".
Yes, sense 5 is "address a question to and expect an answer from".
Let's double check sense 1: "inquire about". "I asked about their special today".
Sense 5 is the best fit for "asked Phil if he was happy".
Wait, could it be sense 1? "inquire about" -> "asked Phil if he was happy" -> "inquire about Phil's happiness"? No, "asked Phil" is the direct object of the person being addressed.
Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from".
Let's confirm the sense index.
1: ask%2:32:00::
2: ask%2:32:01::
3: ask%2:32:02::
4: ask%2:32:05::
5: ask%2:32:04::
6: ask%2:42:00::
7: ask%2:32:09::

"asked Phil if he was happy" -> "address a question to and expect an answer from" (sense 5).
Let's review the syntax: "ask [someone] [something]".
Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from".
Examples: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry; The children asked me about their dead grandmother".
This perfectly matches "asked Phil if he was happy".
I will choose 5.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back."
Yes, addressing a question to Phil.
Sense 5 is the correct one.
Let's check if there is any other possibility.
Sense 1: "inquire about". "I asked about their special today". Here, "about" is used.
Sense 5: "address a question to and expect an answer from". "asked Phil if he was happy".
I am confident in 5.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "realized" in the context: "He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
The meaning here is to become fully aware or cognizant of something, or to perceive an idea or situation mentally.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=realize%2:31:01:: | definition=be fully aware or cognizant of | synonyms=recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise
2. sense_key=realize%2:31:00:: | definition=perceive (an idea or situation) mentally | synonyms=understand, realise, see | examples=Now I see!; I just can't see your point

Wait, "realized that his skepticism must have showed" - this is becoming aware of a fact.
Sense 1: "be fully aware or cognizant of" (recognize, realise).
Sense 2: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" (understand, see).

Let's check WordNet for "realize".
realize%2:31:01:: be fully aware or cognizant of
realize%2:31:00:: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally

In the sentence, "instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
This is "be fully aware or cognizant of" (recognize).
Wait, "realize" in the sense of "become aware of" is often sense 1.
Let's see: "realize that his skepticism must have showed" -> he became aware of it.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: be fully aware or cognizant of. Synonyms: recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise.
Sense 2: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally. Synonyms: understand, realise, see.

"realized that his skepticism must have showed" -> he recognized that it showed.
Let's consider "realize" as "recognize". "instantly recognized that his skepticism must have showed".
Sense 1 is "be fully aware or cognizant of".
Sense 2 is "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally".

Let's look at similar examples. "I realized that I was wrong." -> sense 1.
"realize" meaning "become aware of" is sense 1.
Let's check the synsets.
realize%2:31:01:: be fully aware or cognizant of (recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise)
realize%2:31:00:: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally (understand, realise, see)

"realized that his skepticism must have showed" -> he became aware of it.
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
This is "be fully aware or cognizant of".
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's consider if "realize" here is "perceive mentally". "I just can't see your point" is sense 2. "Now I see!" is sense 2.
"realized that his skepticism must have showed" is more like "recognized".
I'll go with 1.
Let's double check.
"realize" (become aware of) -> sense 1.
Yes, 1 is the best fit.
Another option: 1 is "be fully aware or cognizant of".
I will output 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "skepticism".
Context: "He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
The context implies doubt about the truth of something (the man's claims or questions about the landlord).
Sense 1: doubt about the truth of something (incredulity, disbelief, mental rejection).
Sense 2: the disbelief in any claims of ultimate knowledge (agnosticism, scepticism).

Sense 1 fits perfectly, as it's about doubting the specific thing the man was saying, not a general philosophical disbelief in ultimate knowledge.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best choice.

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
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 "showed" in the context: "He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
The meaning is that his skepticism became visible or noticeable in his face or voice.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. give an exhibition of to an interested audience
2. establish the validity of something
3. provide evidence for
4. make visible or noticeable (She showed her talent for cooking; Show me your etchings, please)
5. show in, or as in, a picture
6. give expression to (She showed her disappointment)
7. indicate a place, direction, person, or thing
8. be or become visible or noticeable (His good upbringing really shows; The dirty side will show)
9. indicate a certain reading
10. give evidence of, as of records
11. take (someone) to their seats
12. finish third or better in a horse or dog race

Wait, "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
Is it "be or become visible or noticeable" (sense 8) or "give expression to" (sense 6)?
"showed" is intransitive here: "his skepticism must have showed".
Sense 8: "be or become visible or noticeable" (synonyms: show up). Examples: "His good upbringing really shows; The dirty side will show".
Sense 6: "give expression to" (synonyms: express, evince). Examples: "She showed her disappointment". This is transitive.
In the context, "his skepticism must have showed" is intransitive. The subject is "his skepticism".
Therefore, sense 8 is the best fit.

Let's double check sense 8:
sense_key=show%2:39:01:: | definition=be or become visible or noticeable | synonyms=show up | examples=His good upbringing really shows; The dirty side will show

Context: "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
This perfectly matches "be or become visible or noticeable".

Let's check sense 4: "make visible or noticeable". This is transitive. "She showed her talent".
Sense 8 is intransitive. "His skepticism must have showed".

So sense 8 is the correct one.
Let's review the options.
8. sense_key=show%2:39:01:: | definition=be or become visible or noticeable | synonyms=show up | examples=His good upbringing really shows; The dirty side will show

Yes, sense 8.
Context: "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
Subject: his skepticism.
Verb: showed.
Meaning: became visible or noticeable.
Matches sense 8 perfectly.
I will return {"sense_index": 8}.

The context is: "He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his <t>face</t> or voice."
The word "face" here refers to the feelings expressed on a person's face, or the facial expression that showed his skepticism.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. the front of the human head
2. the feelings expressed on a person's face (synonyms: expression, look, aspect, facial expression)
3. the general outward appearance of something
...
Sense 2 fits perfectly: "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice" -> the feelings expressed on a person's face.
Let's double check.
"showed in his face" -> expression, look.
Sense 2: "the feelings expressed on a person's face"
Examples: a sad expression; a look of triumph.
Yes, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's review the options.
1. human face (physical part)
2. expression, look, aspect, facial expression (feelings expressed)
The skepticism showed in his face (expression).
So sense 2.

The target word is "moody".
Context: "Pete frowned slightly, then became sad and moody."
Candidate senses:
1. ill-natured: showing a brooding ill humor (dark, dour, glowering, glum, morose, saturnine)
2. emotional: subject to sharply varying moods (temperamental)

In the context, Pete "frowned slightly, then became sad and moody." This indicates a brooding, sad, ill-humored state, matching sense 1 (ill-natured, brooding, glum, morose).
Sense 2 is about varying moods (temperamental), which doesn't fit "sad and moody" as well as sense 1 (brooding ill humor, glum).

Let's check the context again: "Pete frowned slightly, then became sad and moody."
"Sad and moody" -> brooding, glum, morose.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Sense 1: moody%5:00:00:ill-natured:00
Sense 2: moody%5:00:00:emotional:00

I will choose sense 1.
