Target lemma: begin
Target surface form: began
Context:
Then I noticed the car was bouncing up and down as if someone were jumping on it. I realized what was happening and screamed into the house for the dogs. Cupboard doors were flying, the trash can in the kitchen walked a few feet, the dogs came running, and I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete. When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened. When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I <t>began</t> to cry. 5:09 a.m.

"I began to cry" means taking the first step in carrying out an action (crying).
Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" -> "We began working at dawn". "I began to cry" fits this perfectly.
Let's double check.
Is there a better fit?
Sense 1: begin%2:30:00:: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action"
Yes, "began to cry" is taking the first step in the action of crying.
Let's review the examples for sense 1: "We began working at dawn; Who will start?"
"began to cry" is an action.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 4 is "begin to speak or say", but crying is not speaking.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm the sense index.
1. sense_key=begin%2:30:00::
Index is 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "When I saw the pictures of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry."
The speaker is describing an earthquake (880 and the Bay Bridge, 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake).
The speaker was frightened, shivering, waiting for Merrill to come home.
Then, seeing the pictures of the damage, the speaker began to cry.
This means shedding tears because of sadness, rage, or pain.
Sense 2: "shed tears because of sadness, rage, or pain" (synonyms: weep).
Let's check the examples: "She cried bitterly when she heard the news of his death".
This perfectly matches the context of seeing the destruction and feeling the emotional aftermath.
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Sense 1 is "utter a sudden loud cry" (shout, yell).
Sense 3 is "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" (exclaim).
Sense 2 is "shed tears".
The context says "began to cry", which in this emotional context means weeping.
I will choose sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "evening".
Context: "The Sunset -LCB- District -RCB- was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."
The context refers to the latter part of the day, the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall, or the early part of the night spent in a special way.
Wait, "all evening" refers to the time period of the evening.
Sense 1: the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall).
Sense 2: a later concluding time period.
Sense 3: the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way.

"all evening" usually refers to the time period of the evening (Sense 1).
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "he enjoyed the evening light across the lake".
Wait, "all evening" is a duration.
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
"spent in a special way" -> "like a pajama party all evening".
But "all evening" is a common phrase for the duration of the evening.
Let's look at Sense 1: "the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)".
Let's look at Sense 3: "the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way". Example: "an evening at the opera".
"all evening" fits Sense 1 better as a general time period.
Wait, "evening" as a time of day.
Let's consider "all evening".
In WordNet, "evening" (1:28:00) is the latter part of the day.
"evening" (1:28:02) is the early part of night spent in a special way.
"all evening" -> "the latter part of the day".
I will choose Sense 1.
Let's double check. "all evening" means the whole duration of the evening.
Sense 1: the latter part of the day.
Yes, "all evening" is a duration of the latter part of the day.
I'll output 1.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."
This is a description of the time of day.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will return {"sense_index": 1}.

The context is: "The Sunset District was more or less like a pajama party all evening, lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."
The target is "walking around".
Sense 1: walk with no particular goal (perambulate, walk about). Examples: we were walking around in the garden.
Sense 2: walk around something (circumambulate).
Sense 3: behave in a certain manner or have certain properties.

In the context, people and dogs are walking around in the district, like a pajama party, drinking beer. This implies walking with no particular goal, just milling about.
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "walk with no particular goal".
Let's double check Sense 1 vs Sense 4. Sense 1 is "walk with no particular goal", synonyms: perambulate, walk about. Sense 4 is "walk randomly". The context "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer" aligns well with "walk with no particular goal" (milling about, walking around).
Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "drinking" in the context: "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."
The context mentions "drinking beer".
Sense 1: take in liquids (imbibe). Example: The children like to drink soda.
Sense 2: consume alcohol (booze, fuddle). Example: We were up drinking all night.
Sense 3: propose a toast to.
Sense 4: be fascinated or spell-bound by.
Sense 5: drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic.

"drinking beer" is taking in liquids, but beer is alcohol. However, "drinking beer" is a specific instance of taking in liquids, or consuming alcohol. Let's look at the examples. "The children like to drink soda" (Sense 1). "We were up drinking all night" (Sense 2).
Wait, "drinking beer" is taking in liquids. Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Sense 1: take in liquids.
Sense 2: consume alcohol.
In WordNet, "drink" (take in liquids) includes drinking beer, water, soda, etc.
Let's check if there's a distinction. "drinking beer" -> taking in liquids.
Wait, "drinking beer" is literally taking in liquids.
Let's see: "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Sense 1: take in liquids.
Sense 2: consume alcohol.
If someone is "drinking beer", they are taking in liquids.
Let's consider "drink%2:34:00::" (take in liquids).
"drink%2:34:01::" (consume alcohol).
Usually, "drinking beer" is Sense 1 because it specifies the liquid. "drinking" without an object or with "alcohol" might be Sense 2.
Wait, "drinking beer" -> take in liquids.
Let's check WordNet for "drink beer".
Actually, "drink" (take in liquids) has examples like "drink a glass of water", "drink soda".
"drink" (consume alcohol) has examples like "drink all night", "he drinks".
Here, "drinking beer" is an action of taking in a liquid (beer).
Let's choose Sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "lots of people & dogs walking around, drinking beer."
Is it Sense 1? Yes, "take in liquids".
Let's double check if "drink beer" is Sense 1.
Yes, "drink" + liquid object is typically Sense 1.
Sense 1: take in liquids.
I will go with 1.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let's review the options.
1. take in liquids
2. consume alcohol
"drinking beer" -> taking in liquids.
I'll output 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "new" in the context: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."
The speaker is meeting therapy clients that they have not met before, or clients that are new to them.
Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. not of long duration; having just come into being or been made or acquired or discovered. (e.g., new law, new cars)
2. original and of a kind not seen before (fresh, novel)
3. lacking training or experience (raw)
4. having no previous example or precedent (unexampled)
5. other than the former one(s); different (e.g., new leaders, new car)
6. unaffected by use or exposure
7. gratuitously new (newfangled)
8. in use after medieval times
9. used of a living language
10. harvested at an early stage
11. unfamiliar (new experiences; experiences new to him)

Wait, "new therapy clients" means clients that the therapist has not met before, or clients who are new to the therapist.
Is it sense 1 (having just come into being or been acquired)? "new clients" -> clients that have just been acquired.
Or sense 5 (other than the former ones; different)?
Or sense 11 (unfamiliar)?
Let's look at sense 1: "having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered". "new clients" fits "acquired".
Let's look at sense 5: "other than the former one(s); different".
Let's look at sense 11: "unfamiliar". "new experiences; experiences new to him".

Wait, "new clients" usually means clients that the therapist has recently acquired or is meeting for the first time.
Let's check WordNet for "new" modifying "clients".
"new" as in "new clients" -> sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered".
Wait, sense 1 examples: "a new law; new cars".
What about sense 5? "other than the former one(s); different". Examples: "they now have a new leaders; my new car is four years old but has only 15,000 miles on it".
What about sense 11? "unfamiliar". Examples: "new experiences; experiences new to him".

Is "new clients" sense 1 or sense 5?
"new clients" = clients recently acquired.
Let's consider "new" in "new therapy clients".
If I have "new clients", they are clients I have recently acquired.
Sense 1: "having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered".
Yes, "acquired" fits "new clients".

Let's check if there is a better fit.
"new" meaning "unfamiliar" (sense 11) - "new experiences".
"new" meaning "different" (sense 5) - "new leaders".
"new" meaning "recently acquired" (sense 1) - "new clients".

Let's look at the exact definition of sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered".
"new clients" -> recently acquired.
I will choose sense 1.

Wait, let's think if "new" here means "unfamiliar" (sense 11). "meet with some new therapy clients" -> clients who are new to the therapist.
But "new clients" is a standard collocation for "recently acquired clients".
Sense 1 includes "acquired".
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered".
Yes, "new clients" fits "acquired".

Let's double check sense 5: "other than the former one(s); different". "new leaders".
Sense 1 is the most standard for "new clients", "new employees", "new members", etc.
I'll go with 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "couple".
Context: "I was just sitting down to meet with some new therapy clients, a couple, and the building started shaking like crazy."
The context mentions "some new therapy clients, a couple". This refers to a pair of people who live together or are in a relationship, specifically a married or romantic pair, or just two people who are together.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a pair who associate with one another (twosome, duo, duet) - examples: the engaged couple; an inseparable twosome
2. a pair of people who live together (mates, match) - examples: a married couple from Chicago
3. a small indefinite number - examples: he's coming for a couple of days
4. two items of the same kind (pair, twosome, twain, brace, span, yoke)
5. (physics) something joined by two equal and opposite forces...

Wait, "a couple" in the context of "therapy clients, a couple" usually means a pair of people who are in a relationship and live together or are married, seeking couples therapy.
Sense 2: "a pair of people who live together" (mates, match) - examples: a married couple from Chicago.
Sense 1: "a pair who associate with one another" - examples: the engaged couple.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"therapy clients, a couple" -> couples therapy is for people who live together or are in a relationship.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "a married couple from Chicago".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "the engaged couple".
Actually, "a couple" meaning a pair of people who live together is sense 2.
Wait, let's look at WordNet:
couple%1:14:00:: a pair who associate with one another
couple%1:14:01:: a pair of people who live together
In the context, "some new therapy clients, a couple". This implies they are a romantic pair, likely living together or married, which fits sense 2.
Let's re-read carefully: "a pair of people who live together" vs "a pair who associate with one another".
Often, "a couple" in therapy context refers to a married or cohabiting pair.
Let's consider "a married couple from Chicago" (sense 2).
Is there any other interpretation? "a couple" as in two people.
Let's choose sense 2.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: mates, match.
Synonyms for sense 1: twosome, duo, duet.
"therapy clients, a couple" -> they are a couple (romantic partners).
I will go with sense 2.
Let's double check if sense 2 is better than sense 1.
Sense 1: a pair who associate with one another.
Sense 2: a pair of people who live together.
Couples therapy is typically for people who live together or are married. "a married couple from Chicago" is the example for sense 2.
I'll select 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "a pair who associate with one another" - "the engaged couple".
But "a couple" as a noun meaning romantic partners is often sense 2.
Let's choose 2.
Actually, let's search my internal knowledge for "couple" WordNet senses.
couple n.
1. a pair who associate with one another (twosome, duo, duet)
2. a pair of people who live together (mates, match)
In the sentence: "meet with some new therapy clients, a couple". This means a married or romantic couple. Sense 2 is "a pair of people who live together".
I'll output 2.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
I will output {"sense_index": 2}.
Wait, is "a couple" in "therapy clients, a couple" definitely sense 2? Yes, "a married couple" is the classic example.
Let's confirm.
"some new therapy clients, a couple" -> they are a couple.
Sense 2.

The target word is "started" in the context: "the building started shaking like crazy."
The building is the subject, and "shaking" is the action that begins.
The building "started shaking" means it began to shake.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. take the first step or steps in carrying out an action (We began working at dawn) - usually for agents.
2. set in motion, cause to start (The U.S. started a war) - transitive.
3. leave (depart)
4. have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense (The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro) - intransitive, "have a beginning".
5. bring into being (originate)
6. get off the ground (start up)
7. move or jump suddenly (startle)
8. get going or set in motion (start up the engine)
9. begin or set in motion (I start at eight in the morning)
10. begin work or acting in a certain capacity
11. play in the starting lineup
12. have a beginning characterized in some specified way (The novel begins with a murder)
13. begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object (begin a cigar)
14. bulge outward

Wait, "the building started shaking" -> "start" here is intransitive, meaning "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" or "begin or set in motion".
Let's check sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" synonyms: begin. Examples: The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro.
Wait, "start" as in "The building started shaking".
Is it sense 4? "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense"
Or sense 9: "begin or set in motion" synonyms: go, get going. Examples: I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!
Or 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?
Wait, "start" + gerund (started shaking).
Let's look at WordNet for "start" intransitive.
Sense 4: start%2:42:00:: have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense.
Wait, let's consider "start" as "begin".
"the building started shaking" -> "the building began shaking".
Is there a better sense?
Let's check sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense"
Let's check sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action"
Let's check sense 9: "begin or set in motion"
Actually, "start" meaning "begin" (intransitive) is often sense 4.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 4: begin.
Let's look at the examples for sense 4: The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro.
What about "start" meaning "begin" in "started shaking"?
Could it be sense 4? Yes, "have a beginning".
Let's check sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action". The building is not an agent taking a step.
Sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense".
Wait, sense 4 is "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense".
Is there another sense?
Let's search for "start" + V-ing.
"start" intransitive: "The rain started."
WordNet 3.1:
start v
1. begin, get, get down, set about, set out, start, start out (take the first step or steps in carrying out an action) "We began working at dawn"; "Who will start?"
2. begin, commence, lead off, start (set in motion, cause to start) "The U.S. started a war in the Middle East"; "The Iraqis began hostilities"
3. depart, part, set forth, set off, set out, start, start out (leave) "The family took off for Florida"
4. begin, start (have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense) "The DMZ begins right over the hill"; "The second movement begins after the Allegro"
5. initiate, originate, start (bring into being) "He initiated a new program"; "Start a foundation"
6. commence, embark on, start, start up (get off the ground) "Who started this company?"; "We embarked on an exciting enterprise"

8. start, start up (get going or set in motion) "We simply could not start the engine"; "start up the computer"
9. get going, go, start (begin or set in motion) "I start at eight in the morning"; "Ready, set, go!"

14. bug out, bulge, bulge out, pop, pop out, protrude, start (bulge outward) "His eyes popped"

In "the building started shaking", "start" is intransitive, meaning "begin".
Is it sense 4 or sense 9?
Sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense"
Sense 9: "begin or set in motion" (I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!)
Wait, "start" as in "The building started shaking" -> "The building began shaking".
"begin" is a synonym for sense 4.
Let's look at sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense".
Is "shaking" an action that has a beginning? Yes.
What about sense 1? "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action". The building is not an agent.
What about sense 9? "begin or set in motion". "I start at eight in the morning" (intransitive, agent).
What about sense 4? "The second movement begins after the Allegro".
Wait, "start" in "started shaking" is often mapped to sense 4.
Let's consider "start" as "begin" (intransitive).
In WordNet, "start" (intransitive) meaning "begin" is sense 4.
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
"start" + gerund: "started shaking".
Is it sense 4? Yes, "have a beginning".
Let's review the options.
1. take the first step or steps in carrying out an action
2. set in motion, cause to start
3. leave
4. have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense
5. bring into being
6. get off the ground
7. move or jump suddenly
8. get going or set in motion
9. begin or set in motion
10. begin work or acting in a certain capacity
11. play in the starting lineup
12. have a beginning characterized in some specified way
13. begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object
14. bulge outward

"the building started shaking" -> "the building began shaking".
"have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" fits "began shaking".
Wait, could it be sense 4? Yes.
Let's double check sense 4 vs sense 9.
Sense 9: "begin or set in motion" -> "I start at eight in the morning" (agent).
Sense 4: "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" -> "The DMZ begins right over the hill; The second movement begins after the Allegro".
Is "start" in "started shaking" sense 4?
Yes, "start" meaning "begin" (intransitive) is sense 4.
Let's consider "start" as "begin" in "The rain started". That is sense 4.
"The building started shaking" -> "The building began shaking".
I will choose sense 4.
Wait, let's look at sense 4 again. "have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense".
Is there any other sense?
What about sense 1? "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action". No, building is not an agent.
What about sense 2? "set in motion, cause to start". Transitive.
What about sense 8? "get going or set in motion". Transitive (start the engine).
What about sense 9? "begin or set in motion". Intransitive, but examples are "I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!". This implies an agent or a process initiated by an agent.
Sense 4 is the most general intransitive "begin".
Let's confirm with another example: "The movie started at 8." -> sense 4.
"The building started shaking." -> sense 4.
I am confident it is 4.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
So {"sense_index": 4}.
Let's quickly check if "start" + V-ing could be sense 1. "We began working at dawn" is sense 1. But "We" is an agent. "The building" is not an agent.
So sense 4 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 12 "have a beginning characterized in some specified way" (The novel begins with a murder). Not applicable here.
So sense 4 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "supports" in the context: "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around."
The context describes a physical structure (a building) that is built up on something that holds it up.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. financial/emotional support
2. aiding the cause
3. immaterial assistance
4. military operation
5. documentary validation
6. financial means
7. supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation (examples: the statue stood on a marble support)
8. the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening
9. musical part
10. any device that bears the weight of another thing (examples: there was no place to attach supports for a shelf)
11. financial resources

Wait, sense 7: "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation"
Sense 10: "any device that bears the weight of another thing"

Let's read the context again: "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around."
Is it sense 7 or sense 10?
Sense 7: "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation"
Sense 10: "any device that bears the weight of another thing"

Let's check the examples.
Sense 7: "the statue stood on a marble support"
Sense 10: "there was no place to attach supports for a shelf"

"built up on supports" -> these are the physical structures holding up the building.
Wait, "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation" (sense 7) vs "any device that bears the weight of another thing" (sense 10).
In WordNet, "support" as a physical structure:
support%1:06:01:: (sense 7) -> supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation
support%1:06:00:: (sense 10) -> any device that bears the weight of another thing

Let's look at the wording: "built up on supports".
Is a building's support a "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation"? Yes.
Or is it "any device that bears the weight of another thing"?
Let's consider "support" in the context of a building. "built up on supports" -> pillars, stilts, etc.
Sense 7: "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation"
Sense 10: "any device that bears the weight of another thing"

Let's search for "built up on supports" or similar.
Actually, sense 7 is "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation".
Sense 10 is "any device that bears the weight of another thing".
A building's supports are structures that hold it up or provide a foundation.
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
support%1:06:01:: "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation"
support%1:06:00:: "any device that bears the weight of another thing"

"built up on supports" -> the supports are the foundation or the structure holding it up.
I'll go with 7.

Wait, looking at sense 7: "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation".
Looking at sense 10: "any device that bears the weight of another thing".
"built up on supports" -> "supports" here refers to the pillars or stilts.
Is a stilt a "device" or a "supporting structure"? A supporting structure.
Let's choose 7.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "It's a flimsy structure, built up on supports, and it was really rocking around."
Could it be 7? Yes.
Let's consider 7.
"supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation"
Examples: "the statue stood on a marble support"
"built up on supports" -> the supports are the foundation/structure holding it up.

Let's double check if there's any other.
8. the act of bearing the weight of or strengthening. (No, it's a noun here, plural "supports").
7 is a noun: "supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation".
10 is a noun: "any device that bears the weight of another thing".

I think 7 is the best fit for a building's supports.
Let's choose 7.
Wait, "built up on supports" - maybe 7.
Let's review the difference between 7 and 10.
7: supporting structure that holds up or provides a foundation.
10: any device that bears the weight of another thing.
A building's supports are structures, not just devices. So 7 is better.
I will output 7.

The building is moving back and forth or sideways.
Candidate sense 1: move back and forth or sideways (synonyms: sway, shake; examples: the ship was rocking; the tall building swayed).
Candidate sense 2: cause to move back and forth (synonyms: sway; examples: rock the cradle; rock the baby).

The building is moving itself (intransitive), not causing something else to move.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

The target word is "stopped" in the context: "The three of us stopped breathing for a moment, and then when it kept on coming we lunged for the doorway."
The phrase is "stopped breathing".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. come to a halt, stop moving (e.g., the car stopped)
2. put an end to a state or an activity (e.g., Quit teasing your little brother)
3. stop from happening or developing
4. interrupt a trip
5. cause to stop
6. prevent completion
7. hold back, as of a danger or an enemy
8. seize on its way
9. have an end, in a temporal, spatial, or quantitative sense
10. render unsuitable for passage
11. stop and wait

"stopped breathing" means they put an end to the activity of breathing for a moment.
Sense 2: put an end to a state or an activity. Synonyms: discontinue, cease, give up, quit, lay off.
Wait, let's check sense 2. "put an end to a state or an activity".
Is there a better sense?
Let's see: "stopped breathing" -> they ceased breathing.
Sense 2: "put an end to a state or an activity" -> "Quit teasing your little brother".
Wait, sense 2 is "put an end to a state or an activity".
Let's check if there is a more specific sense for "stop breathing".
No, "stop" as in "cease" an activity.
Let's review the options.
1. come to a halt, stop moving (intransitive)
2. put an end to a state or an activity (transitive) -> "stopped breathing" (breathing is the activity).
3. stop from happening or developing
4. interrupt a trip
5. cause to stop
6. prevent completion
7. hold back
8. seize on its way
9. have an end
10. render unsuitable for passage
11. stop and wait

"stopped breathing" -> they ceased the activity of breathing.
So sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"put an end to a state or an activity"
Examples: Quit teasing your little brother.
Synonyms: discontinue, cease, give up, quit, lay off.
Yes, "ceased breathing" fits perfectly.
Sense 2.
Wait, let's consider sense 1: "come to a halt, stop moving". Breathing is an activity, not necessarily "moving" in the same sense, but "stop moving" could apply. However, "put an end to a state or an activity" is more accurate for "breathing".
Let's check WordNet for "stop breathing".
"stop" (verb) - put an end to a state or an activity.
Yes, sense 2.
Let's confirm the index.
1. stop%2:38:00::
2. stop%2:42:00::
3. stop%2:41:00::
4. stop%2:38:02::
5. stop%2:38:01::
6. stop%2:30:05::
7. stop%2:33:00::
8. stop%2:35:00::
9. stop%2:42:13::
10. stop%2:35:12::
11. stop%2:30:12::

Index 2 is "put an end to a state or an activity".
I will output 2.
Context: "The three of us stopped breathing for a moment"
"stopped" is transitive here, taking "breathing" as the object (gerund).
Sense 2 is transitive: "put an end to a state or an activity".
Matches perfectly.
