reasoning_content:
The target word is "showed" in the context: "he noticed the renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."
The meaning is that the renewed interest became visible or noticeable in the listener's face and eyes.
Let's check 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 (transitive: She showed her talent)
5. show in, or as in, a picture
6. give expression to
7. indicate a place, direction, person, or thing
8. be or become visible or noticeable (intransitive: 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

In the context, "it showed in the alert face" means "it became visible or noticeable".
Sense 8: "be or become visible or noticeable" (synonyms: show up). Examples: "His good upbringing really shows; The dirty side will show".
This perfectly matches "it showed in the alert face".

Let's double check sense 8.
"it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."
Yes, "show" here is intransitive, meaning to be or become visible or noticeable.
Sense 8 is the best fit.
Sense 4 is transitive ("make visible or noticeable").
Sense 6 is "give expression to" (transitive: She showed her disappointment).
Sense 8 is intransitive: "be or become visible or noticeable". "it showed" -> "it became visible".

Therefore, sense 8 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 8}.
I will output this.

The target word is "alert" in the context: "it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."
The context describes a listener showing renewed interest, with an "alert face" and "suddenly bright eyes".
Sense 1: engaged in or accustomed to close observation (watchful).
Sense 2: quick and energetic (brisk, lively).
Sense 3: mentally perceptive and responsive (alive, awake).

"alert face" and "suddenly bright eyes" showing "renewed interest" in what the speaker is saying.
Is it sense 1 (watchful, close observation) or sense 3 (mentally perceptive and responsive)?
"alert to the problems" vs "caught by a couple of alert cops".
"alert face" - showing renewed interest, listening closely.
Wait, "alert" modifying "face".
Let's look at the synonyms:
Sense 1: watchful.
Sense 3: alive, awake.
"alert face" - a face showing close observation or mental perceptiveness.
"renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."
This implies the listener is paying close attention, watching, observing.
Sense 1: engaged in or accustomed to close observation.
Sense 3: mentally perceptive and responsive.
"alert face" -> watchful face.
Let's consider "alert" as an adjective.
"alert" (watchful) fits "alert face" well.
Wait, "alert" in "alert face" could be sense 1.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "caught by a couple of alert cops; alert enough to spot the opportunity when it came".
Sense 3: "an alert mind; alert to the problems".
"alert face" - a face that is watchful.
I'll go with sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."
"alert" here means watchful, paying close attention.
Sense 1: engaged in or accustomed to close observation.
Sense 3: mentally perceptive and responsive.
"alert face" is more about being watchful (sense 1).
Let's choose 1.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let's double check. "alert face" -> watchful.
I will output 1.

Wait, "alert face" could be sense 2. Let's see if sense 1 is better. "the front of the human head". But "alert" modifies the expression. "alert face" = "alert expression".
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "a sad expression; a look of triumph".
"alert face" fits "the feelings expressed on a person's face".
Is it sense 2? Yes, "alert face" refers to the expression.

4. lots of light
5. polished

Sense 9: "characterized by happiness or gladness" -> examples: "bright faces". "bright eyes" fits perfectly with "bright faces".
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
Could it be 1? "emitting or reflecting light readily" - eyes can be bright, but here it's metaphorical for interest/happiness.
Sense 9 is the best fit.
Let's confirm: "bright faces" is the example for sense 9. "bright eyes" is very similar.
Therefore, sense 9.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."

The target word is "paused" in the context: "When he paused to moisten his throat, the stranger broke in."
The context describes someone talking for ten minutes, then temporarily stopping to moisten his throat, at which point the stranger broke in.
Sense 1: interrupt temporarily an activity before continuing (synonyms: hesitate, examples: The speaker paused)

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "interrupt temporarily an activity before continuing". The example "The speaker paused" is very close to "When he paused to moisten his throat".
Sense 2 is more about ceasing an action temporarily, like a break.
Let's look at the definitions again.

Sense 2: an opening in the vamp of a shoe at the instep.
Sense 3: a passage resembling a throat in shape or function.
Sense 4: the part of an animal's body that corresponds to a person's throat.

Moistening one's throat refers to the human throat (passage to stomach and lungs, or the front part of the neck).
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "moisten his throat" -> human throat.
Sense 1 is the correct sense.

In the context, Haney is talking to a guy he doesn't know well (or at all, "his company", "the guy", "the stranger"). The stranger is someone he is not acquainted with.
Sense 2 fits perfectly: "an individual that one is not acquainted with".
Sense 1 is more about an alien or someone who doesn't belong in the environment.

Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"the stranger broke in" -> the person he didn't know.
Sense 2: an individual that one is not acquainted with.
Yes.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "break_in" with the surface form "broke in" in the given context.
Context: "When he paused to moisten his throat, the stranger broke in. 'But why pay her bills?'"
The stranger interrupted the conversation.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. enter someone's property (unauthorized)
2. break into a conversation (chime in, cut in, put in, butt in, chisel in, barge in)
3. start in a certain activity
4. intrude on uninvited (broke in on our conversation)
5. break so as to fall inward
6. make submissive, obedient, or useful

Sense 2: "break into a conversation" fits perfectly. The stranger interrupted Haney's monologue to ask a question.
Sense 4: "intrude on uninvited" is similar but sense 2 specifically mentions "break into a conversation" and the examples/synonyms (chime in, cut in) match the context of speaking up in a conversation.
Let's double check sense 2 vs sense 4.
Sense 2: break into a conversation. Synonyms: chime in, cut in, put in, butt in, chisel in, barge in. Example: her husband always chimes in, even when he is not involved in the conversation.
Context: "When he paused to moisten his throat, the stranger broke in. 'But why pay her bills?'"
This is exactly breaking into a conversation.

Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
I will return {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "pay" in the context: "But why pay her bills? If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you say, why not just divorce her?"
The phrase is "pay her bills".
This means to give money in exchange for goods or services, or to discharge a debt.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=pay%2:40:00:: | definition=give money, usually in exchange for goods or services | examples=I paid four dollars for this sandwich; Pay the waitress, please
3. sense_key=pay%2:40:04:: | definition=cancel or discharge a debt | synonyms=pay up, ante up | examples=pay up, please!
11. sense_key=pay%2:40:14:: | definition=discharge or settle | examples=pay a debt; pay an obligation

Wait, "pay her bills" is giving money for goods or services (bills).
Sense 1: give money, usually in exchange for goods or services.
Sense 11: discharge or settle (pay a debt, pay an obligation).
Is "pay her bills" sense 1 or sense 11?
Let's check WordNet.
pay%2:40:00:: "give money, usually in exchange for goods or services"
pay%2:40:14:: "discharge or settle" (pay a debt, pay an obligation)
"pay her bills" -> bills are obligations/debts, but also "pay" in the sense of giving money for goods/services.
Wait, let's look at the exact phrase "pay her bills".
In WordNet, "pay" (give money, usually in exchange for goods or services) has examples like "I paid four dollars for this sandwich; Pay the waitress, please".
Is there a better fit?
Let's consider "pay her bills".
Sense 1: give money, usually in exchange for goods or services.
Sense 11: discharge or settle.
Actually, paying bills is often sense 1. Let's see if there is a distinction.
"pay a bill" is often sense 1.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "I paid four dollars for this sandwich; Pay the waitress, please".
What about sense 11? "pay a debt; pay an obligation".
Is "pay her bills" sense 1? Yes, "pay" + object (bills).
Let's look at sense 1: "give money, usually in exchange for goods or services".
Let's look at sense 11: "discharge or settle".
I will go with sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "But why pay her bills?"
"pay" here means to give money for the bills.
Let's check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1 is the most common for "pay [someone's] bills".
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's consider sense 11: "discharge or settle". "pay a debt; pay an obligation". A bill is an obligation. But "pay her bills" is more like "give money for her bills".
I'll output 1.
Let's double check.
"pay her bills" -> give money for goods or services.
Yes, 1.

The target word is "men" (lemma: man).

The context refers to adult male persons who the wife might be running around with.
Sense 1: an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman). Synonyms: adult male. Examples: there were two women and six men on the bus.
This perfectly matches the context of "other men" (male persons).

"other men" here just means other adult males, not necessarily her specific "man" (though they might be lovers, the phrase "other men" is a general reference to adult males).

Is it sense 1? "express in words"
Let's look at similar examples. "He said that he wanted to marry her" -> express in words.
"as you say" -> "as you state".
Sense 1 is the most general and fits "express in words".
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 9.
Sense 1: express in words.
Sense 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare. "I say let's forget this whole business".
Here, "as you say" means "as you have stated".
I will go with Sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "he was complaining bitterly about his wife... if you hate her as you say".
He stated that he hates her.
Sense 1: express in words.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 1 is "express in words".
Yes, "as you say" = "as you state".
I'll output 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "love" in the context: "That bitch would love a divorce", he growled. "Then she'd get half of everything I have."
The speaker is saying that his wife would get pleasure from or greatly desire a divorce.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. love%2:37:00:: have a great affection or liking for (I love French food; She loves her boss)
2. love%2:37:02:: get pleasure from (enjoy) (I love cooking)
3. love%2:37:01:: be enamored or in love with (She loves her husband deeply)
4. love%2:35:00:: have sexual intercourse with

In the context, "love a divorce" means she would get pleasure from it, enjoy it, or greatly desire it.
Sense 1: have a great affection or liking for.
Sense 2: get pleasure from (enjoy).
Wait, "love a divorce" - does it mean she would enjoy it? Yes.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "I love French food" - this is liking.
Sense 2: "get pleasure from" (enjoy). "I love cooking".
Is "love a divorce" more like "enjoy" or "have a great affection or liking for"?
Actually, "love" in "love a divorce" means she would be very happy about it, get pleasure from it.
Let's consider "love" as "get pleasure from" (sense 2).
Wait, "love" meaning "desire" or "enjoy".
Let's look at WordNet:
love%2:37:00:: have a great affection or liking for
love%2:37:02:: get pleasure from (enjoy)
"love a divorce" -> she would enjoy a divorce.
Let's see: "That bitch would love a divorce" -> she would get pleasure from a divorce.
Sense 2 is "get pleasure from" (enjoy).
Sense 1 is "have a great affection or liking for".
Is "love a divorce" sense 1 or sense 2?
"love" + noun phrase (an event or situation) usually falls under "get pleasure from" or "enjoy".
Let's check WordNet for "love" + noun.
"I love French food" is sense 1.
"I love cooking" is sense 2.
"love a divorce" is similar to "enjoy a divorce".
Let's choose sense 2.
Wait, let's re-read sense 1: "have a great affection or liking for".
Sense 2: "get pleasure from".
If someone says "I would love a divorce", they mean they would get pleasure from it.
Let's choose 2.
Wait, let's consider if "love" here means "desire". WordNet doesn't have a specific "desire" sense for love, but "get pleasure from" fits "enjoy".
Let's check if there's any other sense. No.
I will go with 2.
Wait, "love" in "love a divorce" might be sense 1? "have a great affection or liking for". No, you don't have affection for a divorce. You get pleasure from it.
So sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"love" (verb)
1. have a great affection or liking for
2. get pleasure from
3. be enamored or in love with
4. have sexual intercourse with
"love a divorce" -> get pleasure from a divorce.
Yes, 2.

"Community property deal" refers to the agreement or arrangement regarding community property.
Sense 2: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each" - synonyms: bargain.
Wait, let's consider Sense 1: "a particular instance of buying or selling" - synonyms: trade, business deal.
Is "community property deal" an agreement between parties? Yes, marriage is an agreement, and community property is a legal arrangement/agreement.
Let's re-read the context: "Community property deal -- you know. I'd have to sell out my business to pay her off with her share."
This refers to the arrangement or agreement of community property.
Sense 2: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each"
Sense 1: "a particular instance of buying or selling"
Sense 7: "the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement)"

Let's look at similar examples. "Community property deal" is an arrangement or agreement.
Sense 2 fits "agreement between parties".
Wait, could it be Sense 1? "business deal" is a synonym for Sense 1. But "community property deal" is more of an arrangement or agreement.
Let's check the examples for Sense 2: "he made a bargain with the devil; he rose to prominence through a series of shady deals".
"deal" as an agreement.
Is there any other sense?
What about "deal" as in "arrangement"?
Sense 2 is "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each".
Let's consider "deal" in "Community property deal". It means the arrangement or agreement.
I will choose Sense 2.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1: "a particular instance of buying or selling". Community property is not necessarily buying or selling, it's an agreement/arrangement.
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"Community property deal" -> an agreement between parties (husband and wife) fixing obligations of each (splitting property).
Yes, Sense 2.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=deal%1:04:02::
2. sense_key=deal%1:10:00::
3. sense_key=deal%1:23:00::
4. sense_key=deal%1:27:00::
5. sense_key=deal%1:27:01::

7. sense_key=deal%1:11:00::
8. sense_key=deal%1:04:00::
9. sense_key=deal%1:04:01::

I'll output 2.
Context: "Community property deal -- you know."
Meaning: The agreement/arrangement of community property.
Sense 2: an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each.
Matches perfectly.

The target word is "share".
Context: "I'd have to sell out my business to pay her off with her share. She can drop dead"
The context is about a divorce and community property, where the wife would get half of everything he has.
Sense 1: assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group (portion, part, percentage). Example: he wanted his share in cash.
Sense 2: stock shares.
Sense 3: allotment of some amount by dividing something.
Sense 4: part played by a person in bringing about a result.
Sense 5: plowshare.

In the context, "her share" refers to the assets or portion of the property/money she is entitled to in a divorce.
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group".
Let's double check Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
Sense 1: assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group. Synonyms: portion, part, percentage. Example: he wanted his share in cash.
Context: "pay her off with her share" -> assets/money.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=share%1:21:00::
2. sense_key=share%1:21:01::
3. sense_key=share%1:04:00::
4. sense_key=share%1:04:01::
5. sense_key=share%1:06:00::

Sense 1 is "assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group".
Context: "pay her off with her share" -> this is an asset or portion of the community property.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 1}.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
